Dominate the ancient academy

Especially after the emergence of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, girls nowadays generally get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and there are also many who get married at the age of twenty. After all, the family has food and can indeed afford to support the girls.

This was all thanks to Shu Xiaoxiao's reputation as Marquis Yongle. Although the imperial court did not agree with girls getting married after the age of eighteen, Shu Xiaoxiao came forward in the name of the Marquis Yongle Mansion to promote the benefits of getting married at the age of eighteen or even older, and even brought in Imperial Physician Zhang.

During that time, she wandered around the farms around Kyoto, and discussed the best age to have a child with Doctor Zhang whom she met, otherwise two lives would be lost!

Then it became quite successful, and gradually many people started getting married at the age of 20, and the children they gave birth to were indeed healthy. However, there were also many families who felt that 20 years old was too old. But even so, the situation is much better than before.

Yun Qinghan had previously thought of waiting until Shu Xiaoxiao was 19 or 20 years old before having children, but before he could react, Shu Xiaoxiao was already pregnant. She was already 18 years old, so it was possible for her to have children, but Yun Qinghan was still a little worried about triplets.

Having grown up in the palace, he knew too well how fragile pregnant women were. Now three of them came at once, and he was only surprised instead of happy.

Even if you want to have more children, you can do it one by one. But now three have come at once. Isn’t that scary?

Shu Xiaoxiao, who was a little worried at first, said: "........Uh, it's okay, Senior Brother, I know medicine, and I'm in good health. It's just triplets. My mother and sister-in-law have both been pregnant with twins. Triplets are nothing to worry about."

Yun Qinghan thought about the magical qualities of his wife and felt a little relieved. Before he could say anything, the food was ready.

Yun Qinghan rarely stayed in the general's mansion and didn't care much about food, which resulted in the chef in the general's mansion being neither better nor worse.

He usually didn't feel anything when eating, but when he looked at the food this time, he felt that the cook was not good.

First find a few good cooks in Qingzhou, and then write a letter to Kyoto, asking them to send a few cooks, midwives and imperial doctors over quickly, otherwise he would be really worried.

Shu Xiaoxiao only looked at the food on the table, the hot soup noodles, and the charred sesame cakes next to it. They looked quite appetizing!

Yun Qinghan handed the pancake to Yun Qinghan, feeling a little distressed: "Supplies are scarce here, there is nothing good, you eat it first, and I will find a cook to make you something delicious tomorrow."

Shu Xiaoxiao ate a mouthful of sesame cake and a sip of soup, and breathed a sigh of relief as soon as it went down her throat: "It's okay, no need to make too much trouble, it's delicious. Besides, it's so cold here, even if we find a chef, without the ingredients, isn't it like a housewife without rice?"

"I think it's good to eat like this. I'll let Pearl sprout some bean sprouts tomorrow, and it will be the same."

Shu Xiaoxiao is a typical pasta lover. In such cold weather, pasta with soup is simply the best, much better than those side dishes.

The rich soup without any additives, the flexible and chewy dough, the thin skin, the moderate salty taste, plus the crispy outside and tender inside sesame seed cake, together, is a perfect match in winter, even more comfortable than eating hot pot.

Looking at Shu Xiaoxiao eating with big mouthfuls, Yun Qinghan's face was full of smiles. He felt that his wife was really easy to take care of.

But having a wife who is easy to feed is one thing, and as a husband it is his duty to provide her with a better life. However, it is winter now, and there are not many vegetables, except for bean sprouts. He remembered that his master was studying the planting of kangs according to what his junior fellow student said, and the effect seemed to be quite good, so they should be able to prepare for it here as well.

After a while, he ordered the servants to prepare to plant some easy-to-grow vegetables, and Yun Qinghan thought silently.

After eating a large bowl of noodle soup in one breath, Shu Xiaoxiao felt completely satisfied.

Although it was late at night, there were snowflakes falling from the sky, which was as beautiful as a dream. Shu Xiaoxiao looked at her husband who had also eaten and drunk enough, and said expectantly: "I want to go out and play!"

After sitting in the carriage for more than a month and sleeping almost all the way, she was not sleepy at all now. She just wanted to take a walk, take a few steps, and stretch her muscles. Especially on a snowy day like this, it is so relaxing to "brew tea, listen to the snow falling, and feel relaxed"!

"Okay, but do you want to go wash up first? I'll ask them to gather around the pavilion and prepare the stove and tea, and we'll enjoy the snow later." Yun Qinghan naturally knew that his wife liked cleanliness and would take a bath every time she came back from going out.

We've been traveling for such a long time, so we definitely need to take a shower.

Shu Xiaoxiao: "..............Pearl, hurry, hurry, I want to take a bath!"

Yun Qinghan chuckled: "How about I help you? Or we can do it together?"

Shu Xiaoxiao gave him a sidelong glance: "No!"

After taking a bath, I felt much more relaxed, as if all the fatigue from the journey had dissipated.

The pavilion was also ready. It was originally ventilated on all four sides, but now three of its sides were tightly enclosed. There were several braziers inside. Perhaps because there were no lounge chairs here, a Luohan couch was placed directly in the pavilion. Shu Xiaoxiao walked around the pavilion for a few rounds and lay on the Luohan couch to let Zhenzhu dry her hair.

It’s uncomfortable to take a shower without washing your hair. It feels like I’ve only washed half of the shower. But in this kind of weather, it’s hard to dry your washed hair. So I just try to dry it as much as possible and then bake it a little bit at a time.

Yun Qinghan also looked like he had just taken a shower, and his hair was still a little damp, but he was very energetic, so he wiped his hair half dry and then ignored it. He sat beside them with his hair loose and helped to make tea.

With slender fingers and a picturesque figure, the person sitting there was the most eye-catching painting. Shu Xiaoxiao looked at him without even blinking.

Yun Qinghan chuckled, very satisfied with Shu Xiaoxiao's intoxicated gaze, and said with a smile: "Is it beautiful?"

Shu Xiaoxiao:..............

"Well, that's not what I want to see. Haven't you heard that if you look at beautiful people when you are pregnant, your child will also be beautiful in the future. I am staring at you so that our child will be as beautiful as you in the future. It's not what I want to see."

Pearl blinked and glanced at the young lady who was feeling unreasonable but confident, with a puzzled look on her face: Miss, have you forgotten that when you were not pregnant, you also liked to stare at your son-in-law like this.

But she naturally wouldn't say anything about dismantling her own lady's stage like this, she just silently quickened her hands' movements. She should wait outside for a while, otherwise, she would always feel a little redundant.

Yun Qinghan was laughing lightly, but suddenly he became serious: "Madam, are you telling the truth?"

Shu Xiaoxiao: "What........really?"

"If you look at more beautiful people when you are pregnant, your future baby will also be beautiful?"

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded, as if it was a matter of course: "Really, of course it's true, this sentence has been tested... tested, it really can't be true, except that the parents are ugly and there is really no way to save them, the effect may be worse."

Studies have shown that during pregnancy, the mother's emotions have a profound impact on the fetus. What the mother sees, hears, and feels is transmitted to the fetus through hormones, affecting the fetus' mood and development.

If a pregnant woman sees a beautiful and cute person and feels happy, this positive emotion will be transmitted to the fetus through neurological substances, which will help the fetus's nervous system develop in a positive direction. Therefore, watching beautiful things has a positive effect on the fetus.

If the expectant mother often imagines the image of the fetus, the future baby's appearance may be similar to the mother's imagination. This psychological and physiological connection constitutes a part of prenatal education through thoughts, affecting the physical and mental development of the fetus.

This has been certified by experts. Oh, the experts here are not those experts who have nothing to do every day and give random advice, but real experts. This statement has a certain basis, so next, she must not only look at more good-looking people, but also maintain a good mood to lay a good foundation for the appearance of the three babies in her belly. She must win at the starting line.

Yun Qinghan was silent for a while: "I remember there seems to be a palm-sized mirror in the mansion. Remember to find it tomorrow. You can carry it with you and look in the mirror more often."

Shu Xiaoxiao: “............Okay!”

There are three children in my belly. It doesn't matter who they are. One for each of them and one extra.

After watching the snow and drinking tea, Shu Xiaoxiao went back to rest.

Yun Qinghan woke up before dawn, and was awakened by the heat. It was not the heat from sexual desire, but the kang was too hot. He had practiced martial arts for many years and had a strong fire power. In previous winters, as long as he covered himself with a thicker cover, it would be just right.

The kang under him was built by the housekeeper in his room when the kang was first introduced. He rarely used it normally, but now that the kang was burning, he broke out in sweat and his mouth was very dry.

After lying down for a while, I couldn't fall asleep, so I drank a glass of water, got up and practiced Kung Fu in the yard for a while. Then I thought of something and went straight to the study.

When Shu Xiaoxiao woke up and saw that there was no one by the bed, she thought that Yun Qinghan had already gone to the camp. As she had official duties to attend to, Shu Xiaoxiao still knew what was important. She was already very happy that he could come to pick her up yesterday. She would just be busy at other times and would never disturb him out of ignorance.

As soon as I finished washing up, I saw someone coming over with a... painting?

Painting? Could it be that the beauties that her senior brother collected for her? You know, although she likes to paint, she only paints figures and rarely paints landscapes because she can't paint such magnificent scenery and majestic mountains and hills, so she specializes in figures. Figures only have a face, body shape, and clothes. She paints a lot, and they are very simple.

Yun Qinghan came in and placed the painting in front of Shu Xiaoxiao, unfolding it bit by bit.

The painting has delicate brushstrokes and bright colors, and the little girl with a bright smile in the painting is even more eye-catching. She is holding her cheeks with her hands and smiling brightly.
