The Blessed
Chapter 400
Ling Jingxuan got pregnant, this thing was like a spring breeze blowing through the whole Ling village overnight, after all, the man pregnant thing was already shocking enough, a lot of gossiping women would talk about it privately, but soon got yelled back by their men, is the present Ling Jingxuan someone they could gossip about?
Those who on good terms with Yuehua Manor, like Old Wang(Pinyin王), Shopkeeper Zhang, Shopkeeper Wang(Pinyin汪) and Shopkeeper Hong in town all went to visit him in person. Even the magistrate who was going to be transferred into the capital sent someone to send a gift. Now he was helping Ling Jingxuan purchase sorghum seeds. After the new magistrate came the next year, he’d leave.
The coldest December came, and those chicken, ducks and pigs were all big enough for slaughtering. Over two hundred fat chicken, five hundred ducks, and ten giant pigs at least over two hundred jin, Ling Jingxuan didn’t mean to sell any. It was December, plus, he was pregnant. So Lady Wang made chicken soup or duck soup for him everyday for his nutrition, making Ling Jingxuan want to throw up every time he saw the soup, and pretended to be sleeping when it was time to eat.
Others would lose the appetite when they got pregnant and kept having morning sickness, but he had never vomited or what, but only became more and more somnolent. He’d sleep at least fourteen hours a day, and he was afraid of the cold. When he got up, he would either wrap himself in thick enough cotton-padded coat or nested in Yan Shengrui’s arms. Then he accidentally saw that the dark wool all got thrown away after the ducks were killed, in his head suddenly popped out those down jackets that had swept the world. After communicating with Wang Jinyu, in less than half a month, they had really worked out the ancient style down jackets, the heat preservation effect was no worse than that they made through modern high technology. What’s more, since they used real stuff, Ling Jingxuan personally thought they were even better, but just didn’t look that good.
With the first down jacket, naturally there would be countless ones. Zhang Qing specially went to those villages to purchase duck’s down at a low price, and hired a lot of people to process it at home. Soon, everyone at home dropped their thick cotton-padded coats and changed into the thin and warm down jackets. Generally, they would hit the shelves in Baiyunge next, but Yan Shengrui stopped it, saying that they were not for sale, but made them all for military use and kept the supply to the soldiers all the year round. Of course, they were not for free. The court was responsible for the pay, twenty taels of silver for each. For that, Ling Jingxuan also designed two styles of leather military boots. The high-end one was for those generals, and the common one was for the soldiers, which was also left to Baiyunge to make. In a time, Zhang Qing was as busy as a spinning top, who purchased duck’s down and all kinds of animal furs everywhere. And the sub-production lines of Baiyunge also became very busy. Finally, even Ling Jinghan had to pass the mushroom business to his dad and helped with it.
Because there was a new business to be busy with now, when it was Tiewa’s birthday, Zhao&Han couple did not give him a special celebration, only Han Fei made a day to learn to make a birthday cake from Ling Jingxuan, the two families together had a meal and that was it, but the big present Ling Jingxuan had promised, he really didn’t save it. He specially asked someone to buy a set of top quality brush, ink sticks, paper and inkstone, and forged a little gold pig necklace for him. Yan Shengrui also treated him differently, also gave him a red envelop with ten thousand taels of silver inside. So those two really took their adoptive son as their own son.
26th of lunar December, only a few days before the Spring Festival. And it was time to slaughter those ten fat pigs they had raised themselves. That day, every one from the Wang family came. Old Wang and his wife brought all the kids over, let alone Zhao&Han couple. They hired the butchers at the entrance of the village. Since they got ten pigs, before dawn, the butcher already came with the tools and his two disciples. The little buns looked so excited, who ran out only wearing the thin down jackets, jumping and screaming. Finally they had their own pork to eat!
"Jingxuan, why do you look so thin? The kid’s aunt, why don’t you cook food for him for nutrition? Now he has to feed two lives. You can’t be like this.”
They got enough servants and maids, so as the masters, they only needed to entertain the guests. Seeing that Ling Jingxuan was still so thin as before after having been pregnant for three months, Lady Mu felt a bit sorry for him. Recently they didn’t come was because everyone needed time to heal those wounds in the heart. After hearing that her nephew got pregnant, she instantly brought her sisters-in-law to visit him, and the two families’ relationship became normal.
"I made food for him, and he ate a lot, and even didn’t have morning sickness, but he just doesn’t grow some weight. I am so worried. Big sister-in-law, do you have any method?”
When it came to this, Lady Wang also felt sorry. At first, they made duck soup or chicken soup for him every day. But after his protest, she changed it to made soup for him once in two days. Shengrui also asked someone to buy him a lot of tonic like ginseng and bird’s nest. Even Ling Wen, the stingiest one in their family, secretly used his own pin money to ask Qing to buy a lot of tonic in town for him. And he also took them, but he just didn’t pick up flesh. The whole family was so worried, but could do nothing. Recently, she even felt that she was about to grow some white hair.
