Chapter 499: Prophecy By The Scholars
After Lin Fei’er and Jiang Haoxuan’s wedding was decided, the elders started to chat happily.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng had been acting as the background. They didn’t know how they started to chat, but they started to talk about the child. The couple couldn’t help but get involved.
Luo Xiuxiu looked at Lin Fei’er’s white s.h.i.+rt and her eyes fell on her stomach.
“I wonder if she’s carrying a boy or a girl.”
When Luo Xiuxiu said this, Xu Ziyao turned her head. Her clear eyes had an undetectable glimmer.
“In a few months, we’ll be able to get an ultrasound. Won’t we know then?”
When Mrs. Lin heard this, her face was full of smiles. She looked at Lin Fei’er and teased, “it would be great if they were twins. It would be even better if they were a boy-girl pair, two children at once.”
There was a reason why Mrs. Lin said this. After this, Lin Fei’er would most likely not have any more children in the future.
Many families in Jiuzhou still preferred sons. Lin Fei’er’s mother was afraid that if Lin Fei’er gave birth to a daughter in the end, it would cause the elders to be unhappy.
Fortunately, the Jiang family did not only have one son. The task of Jiang Haoxuan to carry on the family line should not be so heavy. After all, there were still Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan.
“Mom… What are you talking about…”
Lin Fei’er glanced at Mama Lin and said shyly, “how can it be so easy to give birth to a pair of twins?”
Luo Xiuxiu’s old face was full of smiles as she continued the conversation.
“Fraternal twins are good! If it really is a pair of fraternal twins, how auspicious would it be!”
Mrs. Lin smiled and rubbed Lin Fei’er’s hair. Then, she s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Jiang Haoxuan and asked tentatively.
“Haoxuan, do you want a boy or girl?”
Jiang Haoxuan naturally didn’t understand Mrs. Lin’s little thoughts. He frowned slightly. He had never thought about these things before. Now that he suddenly mentioned it, he didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
Jiang Haoxuan thought for a few seconds and finally said honestly, “Both boy and girl are good. But if I have to choose one, it should be a girl.”
Hearing Jiang Haoxuan’s answer, Mrs. Lin asked curiously, “Why?”
“Mom, you don’t know. The Jiang family’s rule is that all boys are raised to be steel men. My brother and I have suffered a lot since we were young, but girls are like princesses. You don’t know how much I envied… my cousin when I was young!”
Jiang Haoxuan originally wanted to say Sheng An’ning, but before he could say those three words, he immediately realized that something was wrong and changed his words to cousin.
However, he did have a cousin and she was treated like a flower from a young age.
This was the Jiang family’s tradition. Boys had to stand tall and protect their wives and children, while girls had to be well informed and not be seduced by some low-cla.s.s sc.u.mbag in the future because of their shallow eyelids.
Hearing this, Luo Xiuxiu burst into laughter and gave Jiang Haoxuan a hard slap on the back.
“You’ve grown so big, but you’re still as delicate as a girl. I’ve said before that I would send you to the military camp, but you never joined the army.”
Jiang Haoxuan curled his lips and complained to Mrs. Lin.
“Mom, you see, girls are better.”
Seeing Jiang Haoxuan like this, the corners of everyone’s lips couldn’t help but curl up. They felt that Jiang Haoxuan was still a child who hadn’t grown up yet. He had been calculative until now for such a small matter.
“You’re already going to be a father. Why are you still so childish?”
Luo Xiuxiu glanced at Jiang Haoxuan somewhat helplessly. She turned her head and suddenly noticed Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng opposite her.
Today, the two of them were really quiet. Occasionally, they would pick up some food for each other. They looked like they were enjoying themselves.
Luo Xiuxiu’s gaze landed on Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, and a trace of disappointment suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Seeing that Luo Xiuxiu was silent, Jiang Haoxuan felt a little strange. He put down the goblet in his hand and asked Luo Xiuxiu with concern.
“Grandmother, Why are you suddenly unhappy?”
Luo Xiuxiu pouted in the direction of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, and said as if she was complaining and looking forward to it, “I’m not unhappy. I’m just wondering when your brother and sister-in-law will have a child.”
By next year, Jiang Haoxuan and Lin Fei’er’s child would be born. Luo Xiuxiu was afraid that Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng would delay this important matter.
People were always greedy. In the past, Luo Xiuxiu’s goal was to find a wife for Jiang Xuecheng. She wanted him to stop living alone in Fontainebleau.
Now that Jiang Xuecheng was married, Luo Xiuxiu immediately changed her life goal and decisively moved in the direction of having grandchildren.
However, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan had been married for several months, so why was there no good news?
As the saying goes, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious to death. This was more or less the case.
When Su Wan heard Luo Xiuxiu’s words, she was just about to put the sea fish that she had just picked up into her mouth.
Because of Luo Xiuxiu’s words, her hand movements slowed down, and the white fish immediately fell into the bowl.
Su Wan looked a little embarra.s.sed. Why was she and Jiang Xuecheng involved in this.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng for a second, and only saw indifference in her man’s eyes.
Compared to Jiang Xuecheng’s calmness, Su Wan was not so calm. She smiled embarra.s.sedly and brushed her bangs.
“Grandmother, don’t be so anxious. The matter of the child still depends on fate. Don’t worry, Xuecheng and I will have a child sooner or later.”
Luo Xiuxiu bit her lip with some resentment. As an old lady, she actually looked a little cute doing this.
“Look at Haoxuan and Fei’er. They are so efficient. On the other hand, the two of you really make me lose confidence. Do you want to go to the hospital and find a doctor to take a look?”
Hearing this, Su Wan was so embarra.s.sed that she almost spat out the water that she had just drunk.
They had just gone to see a doctor a few days ago!
However, bringing up this topic at a family banquet and with Lin Fei’er’s family present, Su Wan felt really awkward.
Su Wan felt that if there was no news for Luo Xiuxiu in the future, Luo Xiuxiu’s nagging would annoy her and Jiang Xuecheng to death.
She was afraid that she would develop calluses in her ears…
Su Wan could understand Luo Xiuxiu’s feelings, but when it came to the child, they could only do their best and leave it to fate.
Ever since she married Jiang Xuecheng, she had been working very hard, okay?!
Jiang Xuecheng put down the cup in his hand and casually glanced at Luo Xiuxiu.
“Grandmother, Wan Wan and I went to see a doctor. We’ve consulted with both western and traditional Chinese medicine.”
Luo Xiuxiu’s old eyes instantly widened. She asked anxiously, “What’s the result?”
“The doctor said that Wan Wan and I have no problems. Grandmother, please don’t worry about it. This kind of thing will happen when it should.”
Luo Xiuxiu heard the deep and magnetic voice of a man. She nodded, but she did not feel much comfort in her heart.
She was even wondering if it was Jiang Xuecheng’s problem…
Ever since the last time Jiang Xuecheng fell into a coma, Luo Xiuxiu had a knot in her heart.
In the past, there were Confucian scholars who determined that Jiang Xuecheng would not live past 30 years old. The more Luo Xiuxiu thought about it, the more frightened she became. That was why she wanted him and Su Wan to have a child.
