Dominate the ancient academy

Yun Qinghan stepped forward immediately and was a little surprised to see Qing Hun in front of him. His uncle the emperor even sent Qing Hun. How worried must he be!

But thinking about his wife's abilities, Yun Qinghan also understood very well. Although he knew in his heart that Kyoto was the right place for Shu Xiaoxiao, he was already a married man and naturally wanted a wife and children to live in, so he could only apologize to his uncle.

Waved his hand to exempt them from the formalities, Yun Qinghan slowly lifted the curtain. Shu Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly inside. After more than a month, she had almost gotten used to this kind of bumpy ride. In addition, the speed was a little slower this time, so Shu Xiaoxiao fell asleep unknowingly.

As for Zhenzhu, she sat on the shaft of the carriage. She was not sleepy inside, and was worried about disturbing her young lady. Anyway, the leather blanket prepared by her young lady was very thick. She wrapped herself in it to keep warm, and could also enjoy the scenery. So she basically sat here all the way, and felt quite happy.

So when Yun Qinghan opened the curtain, he saw Shu Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly.

With his wife around, he didn't want to ride a horse outside at all. He took off his coat and got into the carriage. He gestured to keep going. The person next to him took the reins and the team continued to move forward slowly.

Yun Qinghan had been riding a horse for such a long time that he was cold. When he got into the carriage, he first found the heater next to him to make sure his hands were warm. He then reached into the quilt to make sure Shu Xiaoxiao's hands and feet were warm. Then he lifted the quilt and carefully got in.

Shu Xiaoxiao may have sensed a familiar scent, and automatically adjusted her sleeping position, snuggling into Yun Qinghan's arms.

Shu Xiaoxiao slept with her clothes on. After all, she was in a carriage, so it was inconvenient to wear pajamas or undershirts. In modern times, they feel quite tight, but here there is no difference between an undershirt and a small camisole, so Shu Xiaoxiao just wore a spring dress inside, which made her feel not bloated when she slept. When she got off the carriage, she wrapped herself in fox fur, which was very convenient.

Even if someone looked into the carriage, at most they would sigh that she was wearing thin clothes, and would not think it was indecent.

After Yun Qinghan lay down in the bed, he originally wanted to touch her belly, but because she was still dressed and holding a hot water bottle in her arms, he touched the hot water bottle. But if he took away the hot water bottle, he might wake Shu Xiaoxiao up.

Yun Qinghan gave up immediately. Seeing that the carriage was still a little bumpy, he simply held the person in his arms to reduce the bumps.

As a modern young person, Shu Xiaoxiao's main principle when it comes to money is to spend it when necessary and use it when necessary, and not to make herself suffer. So when she arrived in Qingzhou and noticed that the temperature had dropped significantly, Shu Xiaoxiao directly bought a lot of good leather and took over several shops. She also bought a lot of heaters, hot water bottles and other things.

So not only was the carriage warm at this time, but the secret guards and bodyguards who followed along were all wearing the leather suits, gloves, and hats that Shu Xiaoxiao bought for them. So even though it was snowing and they were walking so slowly, no one seemed unhappy at all.

We had thought it would be a tough job to set out in this weather, but after we set out, we had three meals a day, all of which were delicious, and we didn't have to suffer from hunger. Before we set out, each of us was given one hundred taels of silver. And now we have the clothes we are wearing, which are not cheap either. When the clothes were distributed, it was said that they were given to them.

Normally they wouldn't be able to afford to buy so much of such fine leather. They are not here on a business trip, they are here to enjoy themselves.

Not only was this section of the journey safe, they also did not suffer any hardship. Their master was also easy to talk to and did not cause any trouble. It could be said that this was the most comfortable business trip they had ever had.

So don’t even mention that it’s snowing now. Even if it’s raining or hailing, they would be happy to work hard with such treatment.

When they arrived at the general's mansion, the carriage drove straight into the mansion. Yun Qinghan didn't plan to wake Shu Xiaoxiao up. He just asked the servants to bring a thick cloak and prepare to carry Shu Xiaoxiao back.

"Brother!"

Although I try to call him "husband" normally, when I'm confused I unconsciously call him "brother".

When Shu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, she thought she was in a carriage. When she looked up, she found that someone was holding her in someone's arms. When she looked up, she saw the handsome face of her husband, and her mood improved a little.

When Yun Qinghan heard his wife's soft and sweet voice, with sleepy eyes and a hint of charm in her laziness, he immediately felt satisfied wholeheartedly.

Softly said: "Well, do you want to sleep for a while?"

Originally, he was thinking that she shouldn't sleep too long during the day, but Lu Ming, a pregnant woman, is sleepy by nature, so he didn't wake her up.

Shu Xiaoxiao had just woken up. What she needed the most was sleep. She looked around and found that they had already arrived. There were snowflakes floating in the sky.

Seeing the snow, Shu Xiaoxiao sobered up a lot and rubbed her eyes: "I won't sleep anymore, husband, it's snowing!"

Yun Qinghan wrapped Shu Xiaoxiao tightly with his cloak and said, "Yes, it is snowing, but it is getting late. We will see the snow tomorrow."

As he spoke, he carried the person back to the room. There was already a heated kang in the room, but there was no fire wall, so after entering the room, Yun Qinghan made sure that the kang was heated up before he put Shu Xiaoxiao on the bed.

He looked at her with a smile on his face: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Shu Xiaoxiao touched her stomach. She had slept in the carriage until now and had not done anything, but she still felt a little hungry.

Then I thought about the three babies in her belly. It was normal to feel hungry as one person was feeding four. I just hoped that she would not become a fat person because of pregnancy.

"I saw the snow. I want to drink something with soup and some chili!" Shu Xiaoxiao touched her stomach, feeling a little greedy.

"Okay, but you're pregnant, so can you use less chili?" Yun Qinghan sat on the edge of the bed, half-embracing Shu Xiaoxiao, his voice gentle and his face full of indulgence.

With a lovely wife and children, my life is perfect.

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay! It doesn't have to be too complicated, just do it quickly."

Yun Qinghan winked at Zhenzhu, who hurried out to give orders. She was also worried that the chef here knew her young lady's taste, so she had to keep an eye on it.

"Senior Brother, I want to tell you a good news!" Shu Xiaoxiao held Yun Qinghan's handsome face, her face full of teasing.

Yun Qinghan pretended to be very interested: "Oh, what is it? I'm looking forward to it!"

"I am pregnant!"

"She's pregnant, that's great, I'm going to be a father!" Yun Qinghan's expression looked surprised and happy. Well, his acting was very good and very natural, Shu Xiaoxiao commented in her heart.

"Triples!"

"Even if it's triplets, we want kids too! Your husband is very............"

"My wife, you...you just said something, I didn't hear it clearly!" Yun Qinghan's expression was dull, without any of the calmness he had just now.

Shu Xiaoxiao suppressed her laughter: "Well, triplets, triplets, triplets, important things are said three times, do you understand clearly?"

Yun Qinghan:.............

Well, now I heard it clearly, but I still can't believe it. My eyes unconsciously looked at Shu Xiaoxiao's belly. It looked flat, but there were three children inside?

Shu Xiaoxiao patted her belly generously and said, "Even though you can't see it now, there are indeed three babies inside. My belly will start to grow bigger next month!"

Yun Qinghan hurriedly stopped Shu Xiaoxiao's hand, "I... I'm not in a hurry, pat it gently, no, don't pat my stomach, I'm afraid it will hurt."

He looked at a loss, and was obviously so excited that he didn't know what to do.

It took him a long time to calm down. After the joy wore off, Yun Qinghan suddenly felt a little depressed.

"Junior brother, are there really three?" His voice was a little cautious.

Shu Xiaoxiao was a little confused: "Yes, don't you know my medical skills? I got them from my grandfather and Doctor Zhang. How could I make mistakes? There are really three."

In order to buy medicinal materials for her small pharmacy, Doctor Zhang sent her many medical books, and taught her everything he knew whenever she encountered any problems. If she had not already become a disciple, Doctor Zhang would have wanted to take Shu Xiaoxiao as his apprentice. It doesn't matter whether she studies medicine or not. What matters is that it is natural for an apprentice to respect his master!

He was really envious of the medicinal materials in the small pharmacy!

Unfortunately, Shu Xiaoxiao was not very interested in practicing medicine, and her identity was not right, so she did not become his disciple.

Yun Qinghan gently held the person in his arms and said in a low voice: "I believe you, but giving birth is a very dangerous thing. I... I am a little worried..."

Childbirth is inherently dangerous for women, but Shu Xiaoxiao previously suggested that if a girl gave birth before adulthood, it would be dangerous for both the mother and the child. After the court investigated, it was found to be true. The younger the woman, the more likely the baby would die, and it would also be bad for the woman's body to collapse.

But the children born by older women are also healthier. When this was first heard, few people would believe it. After all, their ancestors have been doing this for generations, and it is the same for childbirth. They are used to it.

Until the specific figures were placed before them, they had no choice but to believe it, after the court discussed it.

It is directly stipulated that women must be at least seventeen years old to get married and have children, and it would be safer if they were eighteen or twenty years old. Of course, this was Shu Xiaoxiao's suggestion, but at this age, people consider her an old maid.

You have to know that nowadays most people get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. At the age of seventeen, you are already an old girl in everyone's eyes. Now the imperial physician also said that seventeen years old is almost enough.

If it weren't for such tragic numbers, they wouldn't agree.

As for the age of twenty mentioned by Shu Xiaoxiao, many ministers in the court disagreed. After all, they had been educated like this and knew that at the age of twenty they would be old maids that no one wanted. They themselves couldn't get over that hurdle and felt like their daughters would never be able to get married.

Finally, it was changed to seventeen years old. Anyone who gave birth to a child under the age of seventeen would be fined according to their age, the head tax would be doubled, and there would be a reward for those who reported the child.

After the promulgation, although many people were not very happy, the punishment was there and most of them complied. Then the problem of difficult childbirth was really improved a lot. As long as the family was not particularly patriarchal or was really poor, the daughter would be kept for a few more years.
