A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Seeing Ningxiang hurried out, Xia Tian continued reading the letter.

Because she didn't hear Butler Xu's introduction just now, she thought there were only letters from these few people. Unexpectedly, when she turned to the back, she saw letters written by the Marquis of Wu'an.

Xia Tian opened it out of curiosity, flipped through it first and then looked at the signature. Sure enough, the letter was from the second wife.

The letter said that everything was fine at home, but the mansion seemed much quieter after they left.

Without Liu in the mansion, the concubines of Marquis Wu'an began to become jealous. Although she was in charge of the household, she was her eldest brother's concubine, and as her brother's wife, it was not easy for her to speak up, so she had to ask the old lady to intervene.

However, the letter also said that after being scolded by the old lady, those people became much quieter.

The letter also mentioned three things. Shen Ke was clamoring to get married immediately and marry Liu Jin'er. The old lady had already agreed and the wedding would be in June.

Shen Lan is getting married in August and asked them if they would go back then.

Xia Tian thought, if that was the case, then it would be even more impossible for her to go back. She had finally managed to avoid these annoying people. If she went back, would it be because she thought her current life was too easy?

Anyway, it's far away, and no one will say anything if they don't go back.

Another happy thing is that Shen Rui's wife is also pregnant, but it has been just over a month.

Xia Tian felt the second wife's joy between the lines, and wondered how come a married woman is pregnant?

It seems that her side also needs to be put on the agenda.

She also thought that when Butler Xu left, she would prepare a longevity lock or something and ask him to give it to the Second Madam as a blessing.

The Second Lady also prepared some holiday gifts for her this time, including brocade, jewelry, and some special products from the capital.

I just haven't received any news from Uncle Gu and Uncle Chen yet.

I guess they don’t know that someone is sending holiday gifts here.

I wonder how business is going at Jingcheng Yuejin Pavilion? Is it okay?

When Shen Nian came back in the evening, Xia Tian told him the news that Butler Xu had arrived, and Shen Nian went to meet Butler Xu.

Before resting, she took out the letter from the second wife and showed it to him.

Shen Nian took a quick look at it and asked her to put it away without saying anything.

Xia Tian muttered for a while before tentatively asking, "Brother Shen, should we have a child too?"

Shen Nian paused in taking off his shoes, slowly turned around, looked at Xia Tian who was sitting on the bed, and said seriously, "Are you serious?"

"Well, of course it's true." Xia Tian also looked into his eyes seriously, "We have been married for almost four years. We didn't want to have children before because Liu was around and we were afraid that she would harm our children.

Now that she has been exiled and we are in Linzhou, we can have a child."

Xia Tian explained, although he had discussed the idea of having children later with Shen Nian before.

But it had been almost two years since she mentioned it, so he might have felt uncomfortable and think that she was unwilling to have children.

Shen Nian turned around, took off his shoes, got into bed, held Xia Tian in his arms, and then slowly said, "Well, let's give birth."

Although he only said a few words, Xia Tian could feel that Shen Nian must also want a child.

"Brother Shen, do you like boys or girls?" Xia Tian asked him in Shen Nian's arms.

It doesn't matter anyway, the two of them can just lie down and chat.

"I like them all, as long as they're yours."

Xia Tian smiled and said, "Then let's have more children, both boys and girls."

Although it is hard to take care of a child, this is a wealthy family with a lot of wet nurses and maids. To be honest, raising a child is not easy.

She has a spiritual spring, so she is not afraid of difficult childbirth. It will be more lively if she has more children.

"Well, it's all up to you."

There was an unconcealable joy in Shen Nian's tone.

He turned over and hugged Xia Tian, "Let's start now."

The night was long, but it seemed like I hadn’t slept for long before dawn.

The next day, Shen Nian had breakfast and went to the governor's office feeling refreshed.

Xia Tian asked Fu Gui to take Butler Xu to visit Sangluo City.

He also gave some silver and asked Butler Xu to buy some gifts that he liked and bring them back to him when the time comes.

Butler Xu also has a large family.

Xia Tian asked Butler Xu to stay in Sangluo City for a few more days. She would prepare some specialties from Linzhou for Madam Xu, Wen Jin and others to take back.

As for the emperor, the birthday gift prepared has not been prepared yet, so she needs a few days to finish the painting.

After breakfast, Xia Tian went to the study to write replies to Mrs. Xu and the others one by one.

Ningxiang went in and out today with a smile on her face all the time, which made Ningxue, Cuiyun and Cuiling very curious.

"Sister Ningxiang, what good news is this? I see you haven't closed your mouth at all today." Cui Ling ran to Ningxiang and asked jokingly.

"Nothing." Ningxiang adjusted her expression and went out.

"Something's wrong. Sister Ningxiang must be hiding something from us." Cui Ling muttered behind her.

"Don't worry about it, just get to work." Ningxue urged.

In fact, Ningxiang was happy that Xiatian did not ask her for birth control pills when she woke up this morning.

Thinking about how many times they called for water last night, it seems that the Madam and the Prince are preparing to have a baby.

How could this not make her happy?

Now that the young master is here, the lady's position is secure, and the maids like them can live a good life.

Xia Tian was unaware of the jokes being made and was writing his reply seriously.

She briefly mentioned what happened in Linzhou over the past few months, mainly talking about her daily life.

The letters to Wen Jin, Hu Mengyao and Lin Sayu were more about introducing the local culture, scenery and so on.

After I finished writing the reply, it was almost lunch time.

Xia Tian left the study and asked, "Have Fu Gui and Butler Xu returned?"

She asked Ningxue how many while washing her hands.

These people were sitting in the house making spring clothes. In the summer, I bought a lot of cloth for them and let them make the clothes they liked.

There are no dedicated embroiderers in the mansion, so they can just let them do it themselves, or go to other embroidery shops to do it.

"I didn't see Brother Fu and Butler Xu come back." Cuiyun replied.

"Sangluo City is so big, I guess it will take a long time to take a look around." Ningxue also said.

Xia Tian nodded. "That's fine. Tell the kitchen to prepare lunch for the people Butler Xu brought. Don't treat them badly."

Xia Tian ordered.

Butler Xu brought more than twenty people with him when he delivered the things this time.

"Don't worry, Madam. Uncle Chen has already made arrangements."

Uncle Chen is Nanny Zhang’s man. He came here with Shen Nian and is now the housekeeper of the mansion.

"That's good." Xia Tian nodded, "Then let's set the table."

After lunch she has to paint quickly, time is tight and she can't even take a break at noon.

If we catch up in the next few days, it should be fine.

"Ningxue, after you finish your meal, call Aunt Zhang and go see what local specialties there are in Sangluo City. Buy some and have Butler Xu bring them back.

Buy the kind that can be kept for a long time."

Nanny Zhang has been in Sangluo City for quite some time, so she should be more familiar with it.

"Okay, ma'am."

Xia Tian gave instructions while eating, saying whatever came to his mind, "Anyway, go out and buy them. Don't be afraid to spend money. Buy more and buy good ones.

I really don't know what to buy, so I'll ask Mrs. Fu to come along."

She suddenly remembered that Fu Gui's wife was also from Linzhou, so she should know everything about this place.

"Understood, ma'am." Several people agreed with a smile.
