Poor Family Chapter 287

  Chapter 287, Twins

  Fan Xiaohou was ten years old with his parents guarding the Liaodong waters, and had not returned to Beijing for many years. When he first came back, he was not very familiar with the personnel and affairs in Beijing.

  Because he often entered the palace and had many opportunities to get in touch with Shi Dinghao, and the two were of the same age, and they often sparred in martial arts, Master Fan Xiaohou gradually became acquainted with Shi Dinghao.

   Following this, Master Fan Xiaohou visited Shi's house more and more often.

  Shoukang Palace, Princess Yongan is admiring the flowers with the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager pointed to several pots of brightly colored flowers and said to Princess Yong'an behind her, "You can take these pots of flowers later so that you can decorate your own bedroom. A girl who is in her prime should live a lively life." some."

  Princess Yong'an's eyes flickered after hearing this.

  Fresh? Vigorous?

  How can there be any vitality in her crippled body?

  Princess Yong'an lowered her eyes, quickly covered up her emotions, and thanked her with blessings.

  The Empress Dowager looked at Princess Yong'an with guilt in her eyes.

  When the King Regent was brought down, the Xiao family was at the forefront and contributed the most. After the death of the King Regent, the Xiao family became the target of the remnants of the King Regent who retaliated wildly.

  In the end, only Ziqing's bloodline remained in the direct line of the Xiao family.

  In order to protect Ziqing, the only bloodline of the Xiao family, she chose Yong'an from among the princesses to be educated in Shoukang Palace, and dressed him as Ziqing's substitute.

  Before the remnants of the regent king in the palace were wiped out, Yong'an blocked several assassinations for Ziqing. He was poisoned and assassinated again, and his body was destroyed.

   "Yong'an, it's spring, and there are many banquets in and out of the palace. You should go out more often. If you fall in love with a young master, come back and tell the Aijia, and the Aijia will make the decision for you."

  Princess Yong'an hurriedly said: "Yong'an will serve the Empress Dowager forever."

  The Empress Dowager laughed and said: "The Ai family knows your filial piety, but this does not delay your marriage. Even if you are married, you can still visit the Ai family in the palace."

  Princess Yong'an was silent: "But who can look up to me who is barren?"

  Hearing this, the Empress Dowager became angry immediately, and said sharply: "Yong'an, please remember that you are the princess of the royal family. Even if you are weaker, no one will dislike you."

  Paused, "As for the child, Aijia has already thought about it. When the time comes, I will marry you a few more court ladies, and when they give birth to a child with the concubine, just hold it by your side and raise it."

  Princess Yong'an did not speak after hearing this.

   Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words back.

  Eunuch Xia saw that the atmosphere was a bit stagnant, he smiled to smooth things over, and brought up other topics: "Didn't the Empress Dowager want to match Mrs. An's younger sister and Lord Fan Xiaohou before? This matter, this old slave is just watching."

   Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager also came to her senses: "What's going on?"

  Eunuch Xia hurriedly said: "Master Fan and Mrs. An's younger brother, Shi Dinghao, have gotten very close recently. I heard that they are often invited to Shi's house as guests."

  Princess Yong'an was originally lacking in interest, but when Ding Hao heard about it, she cheered up a bit.

Eunuch Xia continued: "As long as the Shi family is not stupid, they will know how to seize this opportunity. Although Princess Chengyang has high vision, if Xiaohou Fan really likes Miss Six, as a mother, she will not compromise. "

  The Empress Dowager showed a smile on her face: "Sister Yin's younger siblings are still very good."

  Eunuch Xia added: "My brother is also good."

Thinking of Shi Dingxuan who was serving as the deputy chief arrester in the southern chief arresting yamen, the empress dowager nodded: "As long as Shi Dingxuan can gain a firm foothold and stabilize the situation of the southern Jianghu sect, Ziqing will have another powerful support .”

  But she also knew that even if Shi Dingxuan married Song Jiusi's daughter, it would not be easy for him to gain a firm foothold in the southern chief arresting yamen.

  When people from the rivers and lakes get mixed up with local officials and aristocratic gentry, it is a mess that is constantly being cut and straightened out.

  At this time, the maid came in to report that Xiao Ziqing and Shi Fuyin had come.

  As soon as Xiao Ziqing came, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face suddenly softened: "Call in quickly."

  Princess Yong'an also smiled.

   It was she who fought hard to come to Shoukang Palace back then.

  Although it is dangerous to be Ziqing's substitute, her life is much better than being raised in the princess's house. At least she will no longer be hungry, will not wake up from the cold, and no maid and **** dare to beat her.

  Brother Ziqing is very protective of her, whether it is delicious or fun, he will share it with her. Because of him, she felt the warmth of being cared about.

  So, she never regretted protecting brother Ziqing.

   Soon, Xiao Ziqing and Shi Fuyin entered the hall.

  In the past, Xiao Ziqing would pay extra attention to etiquette and propriety when he was outside, and he would not be too close to his wife. But this time, even though Shi Fuyin repeatedly said no, he still carefully supported her.

  The Empress Dowager and Princess Yong'an undoubtedly knew Xiao Ziqing well. Seeing how cautious he was and the awkward smile on Shi Fuyin's face, both of them guessed something.

   "Grandpa Xia, hurry up and get Sister Yin's pulse."

  Grandpa Xia has a little understanding of medical theory, and he can't solve difficult and miscellaneous diseases, but there is no problem with the basic pulse.

  When Fuyin wanted to greet the Empress Dowager, she was stopped, and she was directly supported by Princess Yong'an to sit down.

  Eunuch Xia came to Shi Fuyin with a smile: "Madam Yin, this old slave has offended you."

  Shi Fuyin stretched out her hand, and Princess Yong'an immediately covered Shi Fuyin's wrist with her handkerchief. At this time, Eunuch Xia began to diagnose the pulse.

  Under the expectant gaze of the Empress Dowager, Eunuch Xia withdrew his hand with a smile: "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, Mrs. Yin has been pregnant for more than a month."

  Hearing the affirmative answer, the Empress Dowager stood up excitedly, walked up to Shi Fuyin in person, held her hand, and said several good words.

  Princess Yong'an was also very happy, sincerely happy for Xiao Ziqing.

  After the excitement, the Empress Dowager never tired of telling Shi Fuyin about the precautions during pregnancy, and gave the four nuns to go down on the spot.

   Originally, she wanted Shi Fuyin to supervise the relationship between the Shi family and Master Fan Xiaohou, but now she has no such intentions.

  The sky and the earth are big, and nothing is as important as the descendants of the Xiao family.

  Because she was less than three months pregnant, Xiao Ziqing didn't make a big announcement, except for Shoukang Palace, she only talked to Jin Yue'e. It wasn't until the Dragon Boat Festival in May that everyone knew that Shi Fuyin was pregnant.

   For this reason, both the emperor and the queen rewarded Shi Fuyin with a lot of things.

  Shi Fuxin went to An Guogong's mansion to see her sister, and brought over the Dragon Boat Festival gifts prepared by the mansion.

  Looking at Xiao Ziqing busy around her sister, Shi Fuxin asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, do you like your son or your daughter?"

  Xiao Ziqing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I like both my son and my daughter."

  Shi Fuxin asked again: "Then what if my sister gives birth to a daughter and the Empress Dowager is not happy?"

   When Xiao Ziqing didn't think about it, Fuyin was under too much pressure, and lightly touched his wife's already pregnant belly: "I'm watching the Empress Dowager, don't think too much about it."

  Shi Fuyin was really not that nervous.

  When she was first pregnant, she was indeed a little worried. She was worried that the first child would be a daughter, and she was worried that there would be accidents in the birth. However, her younger sister often came to accompany her, which relieved her anxiety.

  As soon as you relax, you will become more rosy and shiny.

  Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, then you have to resist, my sister is pregnant with twins this time, if she has a daughter, she will have two at once."

"ah?!"

"What?"

  Shi Fuyin and Xiao Ziqing exclaimed in unison.

   "Sister Xin, you said that I am pregnant with twins, is it true or not?" Shi Fuyin looked at her sister nervously.

  Shi Fuxin looked at her: "Can I make fun of this kind of thing?"

  Xiao Ziqing said ecstatically: "Yes, I heard some nuns say a few days ago that sister Yin, your belly is bigger than others, it must be because you are pregnant with twins."

  Shi Fuxin looked at the ecstatic Xiao Ziqing: "Brother-in-law, don't just be happy, it's tiring to be pregnant with twins, you have to take good care of my sister."

  Xiao Ziqing nodded hurriedly: "I definitely will." Then he stood up, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if the stewed blood swallow is ready, you should eat more, you can't be hungry."

  Seeing Xiao Ziqing leave quickly, Shi Fuyin was a little amused, touched her belly, looked at her sister: "Are they really twins?"

  Shi Fuxin nodded: "Jiulang and I are twins, our family has this genetic gene. The Empress Dowager knows it, so I can't pick on you anymore."

  Shi Fuyin touched her belly: "I don't know if it's a man or a woman?"

  Shi Fuxin smiled, and looked at her sister: "Sister, no matter if it's a man or a woman, you have added two children to the Xiao family at once, and that's a great contribution."

  Shi Fuyin also laughed: "I like it even if it is a daughter, a daughter is more caring."

  Shi Fuxin didn't discuss the issue of men and women with her sister too much, but talked about other things.

  Shi Fuyin looked at her younger sister: "Sister Xin, Young Master Fan often visits our house, how does he treat you?"

  Shi Fuxin said unwillingly: "Sister, you should ask, how do I treat him?"

  Shi Fuyin smiled: "Yes, yes, what does our sister Xin think of Master Fan?"

  Shi Fuxin thought for a while: "It's not bad."

  Shi Fuyin looked at her sister with a smile: "It's just okay? I heard that Master Fan Xiaohou knows that you like to eat dim sum from Manji Shop, and often borrows Jiulang's hand to give it to you."

  Hearing her sister's ridicule, Shi Fuxin didn't feel embarrassed: "I am very happy to receive the dim sum, but this happiness is a bit tasteless."

  Shi Fuyin was puzzled: "Why is it so tasteless, I don't understand?"

Shi Fuxin stood up and walked: "I can't tell. Young Master Fan gave me some gadgets from time to time, and I was really pleasantly surprised when I received them, but when I faced him, I didn't have that kind of thumping at all." The feeling of jumping."

  Shi Fuyin: "Is it because you are too demanding, I think Master Fan has put a lot of thought into you."

  Shi Fuxin shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile, "I don't know either. Anyway, it's too early to say anything, so let's take your time."

  Shi Fuyin laughed: "Master Fan Xiaohou is very popular, you, you should use dim sum."

  Shi Fuxin frowned: "I admit that Fan Mingyu's qualifications are indeed outstanding, and he is also an excellent person, but these are only part of what he shows."

   "Get married and live a life, daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, it still depends on what he looks like inside."

   "These days, there are more people who look glamorous on the outside and are sloppy on the inside. Some people look good to everyone, but they may not be able to live."

  Shi Fuyin: "As for you, the truth has always been a big push, you should think it through yourself, and don't regret it in the future."

  Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, I will keep my eyes open to choose a husband-in-law."

  After returning from An Guogong's mansion, when Shi Fuxin arrived at Yiguiyuan, she saw her mother happily choosing clothes and jewelry.

   "Mom, are you going out?"

When Jin Yuee saw her little daughter, she quickly pulled her in front of her, picked up a purple sura and gestured at her: "Dragon Boat Festival, isn't there a dragon boat race at Yongding River Wharf? Your grandmother said that our family will go there that day." .”

  Shi Fuxin remembered, and said with a smile: "This year, the emperor will also go to watch the dragon boat race. He said it is to have fun with the people. Jiulang also participated in the dragon boat team organized by the palace."

  The reason why Jin Yuee is so happy is because her youngest son will appear in front of everyone on the Dragon Boat Festival: "I heard that Master Fan Xiaohou has also signed up for the dragon boat team."

   After finishing speaking, he looked at his daughter's expression.

   During this period of time, she also noticed that Master Fan Xiaohou was really kind to his daughter.

   She was both happy and worried about this.

  Princess Chengyang is famous for her high eyesight. She is really afraid that her daughter will not be in the eyes of the princess.

  Shi Fuxin gave an 'hmm' and said with a smile: "He and Jiulang are still on the same team, I wonder if they can win the prize?"

  Jin Yuee looked at the smile on her daughter's face, thought for a while, and picked up a few pieces of fabric to make gestures on her body.

   "Mom, I still have a dress to wear."

   "No, you have to dress up well, so you can't be compared to other girls."

  Shi Fuxin smiled: "Mom, you are too unconfident. Your daughter stands out among the crowd, she is definitely a standout existence."

  Jin Yue'e looked at Shi Fuxin for a while, was a little worried, hesitated for a while and said: "Sister Xin, mother will discuss with you, can we eat less in the future?"

  Shi Fuxin: "."
