Golden Branch

"Where are the kids? Are they all right?"

After being shocked, Wang Mian began to care about his children.

The feeling of being a mother is really wonderful. Although it was the first time she met them, she felt an inexplicable closeness to those little red monkeys.

Wang Mian held the hand of the servant and sat up, leaning against the sac with a turban wrapped around his head.

She waved to the wet nurses.

The wet nurses understood that the mistress wanted to see the baby, so they hurried forward and showed her the swaddling clothes in their arms.

"My lady, this is Dalang! He weighs four pounds and nine ounces."

The wet nurse, holding a blue swaddling cloth, said as she showed it.

"Madam, this is Erlang! He weighs four pounds and one ounce."

Erlang's swaddling clothes are green.

"Madam, this is the little lady...it weighs three pounds and six ounces."

The only baby girl among the triplets was naturally swaddled in pink.

Wang Mian stretched his neck and looked at them one by one.

Dalang and Erlang, both are fine.

Although it is a multiple birth, its weight and size are not as good as those of a single birth.

But he doesn't look thin.

And the weight is there, 4.9 jin and 4.1 jin, only a few jins less than the standard weight for a single baby.

They were born more than a month prematurely, so even if it was a single baby, weighing more than four pounds, it was considered normal.

Only the youngest daughter——

"Three pounds and six ounces?"

Wang Mian's heart was trembling.

It’s just over three pounds.

The little head is like an apple, and its ears are transparent.

Small hands, thin arms, they can be broken with just a slight pinch.

Wang Mian suddenly remembered the faint cry she heard before she fell asleep... Her heart was lifted up again.

"Where is the imperial physician? Has he checked the pulses of the three children?"

"Reporting to the young lady, the imperial physician has checked the pulses of the three young masters and said they are all fine. They just look a little thinner, but they are not sick!"

Wang Mian's personal servant bowed and reported.

Wang Heng also nodded, "A Mian, don't worry, I also checked the pulses of the three children."

"Little Dalang and Little Erlang are fine. The weakest Little Sanniang is just thin. If she is taken good care of, she will recover!"

They are just weak, not born with any disease. This is the best condition for triplets!

Wang Mian finally felt relieved after hearing what Wang Heng said.

She may not trust anyone, but she will never doubt Ajiu.

When Ajiu said "okay", it meant he was fine.

However, as a mother, Wang Mian instinctively feels sorry for her child.

She thought for a moment, then waved to the wet nurse holding the pink swaddling baby: "Give me the little girl!"

She wants to breastfeed the baby herself.

The nutritional value of colostrum is known to all time-traveling women.

Wang Mian would naturally not treat her child badly. This was the baby she had obtained after much hardship and effort in getting pregnant.

It is her only bloodline in this strange world.

It's just feeding some milk, and people might laugh at you. Compared with the health of the children, it's nothing!

The wet nurse did not guess Wang Mian's intention. She thought she just wanted to hold the baby, so she hurriedly put the swaddle into Wang Mian's arms.

Wang Mian turned sideways and unbuttoned his shirt.

Wang Heng & Everyone: ...

Wang Mian's personal servant saw this and her eyes flashed with surprise and nervousness.

Her lips moved: Madam, no!

Which young lady of a marquis's mansion would breastfeed herself?

Not only the people in the delivery room, but also the marquis's wife, who had just come in and had not yet walked around the screen, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the blurry figure behind the screen.

what's the situation?

Wang is breastfeeding herself?

After all, she is a peasant girl, and even if she marries into the mansion of a marquis, she cannot show herself in public.

Doesn't she know the rules and etiquette of aristocratic families?

how come--

Before, the Marquis’ wife looked on coldly, thinking that although Wang came from a humble background, she acted with magnanimity.

She also made thorough preparations and acted cautiously during this pregnancy.

From the midwife to the wet nurse, not only was there no omission, but in fact, she thought more carefully than some noble ladies.

The Marquis' wife then let go and let Wang do what she wanted.

But what is the situation now?

Wang’s true colors are revealed?

Or do you think that giving birth to a baby with three treasures is an auspicious omen, and you are "getting carried away"?

"...I remember Doctor Li said that colostrum is the most nourishing."

"Little Sanniang is naturally weak, so no amount of careful care is too much!"

Wang Heng is indeed Wang Mian’s best friend. Although she was surprised by Wang Mian’s “overstepping the bounds”, she did not blame him.

She even spoke first to defend her best friend.

Wang Mian: ...Isn’t that just a sophistry?

It's still montage-style.

Li Mingtang did say that colostrum nourishes people, but the real order is:

Wang Mianxian proposed that colostrum is the most nourishing.

After verification, Li Mingtang confirmed Wang Mian's conclusion, and then she also said that colostrum is extremely nutritious.

Wang Heng simply skipped the process and reversed the order.

She didn't lie, but she still distorted the facts.

This is also an extremely high-end lie.

However, given Wang Heng's status, let alone montage-style sophistry, even if she gave a domineering order directly, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion would have no choice but to obey.

As soon as Wang Hengfu opened her mouth, the Marquis's wife, who was about to come in with a handkerchief to "remind" her daughter-in-law, immediately softened her expression.

She suppressed her resentment, forced a smile, walked around the screen, and greeted Wang Heng, who was sitting beside the couch.

"Your Highness greets the Princess!"

Wang Heng bowed slightly. Although she was a princess, she was still willing to give the Marquis some respect for the sake of her best friend. "Madam, please don't be polite. You are Amian's elder. Amian and I have a deep sisterly relationship, so you are also my elder! There is no need for such formalities!"

"I dare not! The princess is so noble, I dare not offend her!"

As a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty and a female member of the current dynasty's decoration, how could she dare to act like an elder in front of the favorite concubine's daughter?

The serious elders are in Taiji Palace.

The Marquis's wife became more humble. She knew very well that Princess Langya was reminding her on purpose.

In a word, the so-called elders are fake, and the "sisterly love" is real.

If anyone in the Marquis' Mansion dares to neglect Wang Mian, Princess Langya will be the first to disagree!

Mrs. Hou: ...Princess, you are really worrying too much!

Wang was not a punching bag who could be bullied by others. She was someone who could control her husband and dared to be jealous in front of the queen.

Although Mrs. Hou had some little calculations, she was not stupid and would never act like a mother-in-law in front of Wang Mian.

Her relationship with Wang Mian as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very delicate. They are neither close nor calculating against each other (mainly because they can't win even if they calculate against each other). At most, they are strangers living in the same yard.

Wang Mian was so thorough in her actions that the Marquis could not find any fault with her.

The breastfeeding just now was probably Wang Mian’s biggest mistake.

The Marquis's wife wanted to grab her, but Princess Langya spoke.

Got it!

Just accept your fate!

She really couldn't beat Wang!

However, the Marquis was unwilling to give up. She glanced at Wang Mian who was feeding the child herself and said with regret:

"It's really an auspicious sign, triplets!"

"Unfortunately, it's still a little early. If it's one day later—"

Madam Hou is just finding fault with everything.

The third child is a good omen, but the birth date is not auspicious enough.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the next day will be New Year's Day.

If you can be born on the first day of the lunar year, it will be double the good fortune.

Wang Mian raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when Wang Heng spoke first, "The moon waxes and wanes, too much is as bad as too little! Today is perfect!"

It's already auspicious, do you still want an auspicious day?

This is a blessing that even the royal family doesn't have. You, the Xiao family, a royal family of the previous dynasty, have such delusions. What are you going to do?

Wang Heng did not hide her emotions at all.

She looked at the Marquis's wife with a warning and a hint of disgust.

The Marquis's wife was also a little dizzy with anger just now, so she said this unwillingly.

When she looked up and saw Wang Heng's cold eyes, she woke up instantly.

Yes, their status as a marquis is embarrassing, and they should be low-key and behave properly. How can they be so arrogant?

"...Yes! Princess, you are absolutely right! Today is a great day!"

The Marquis's wife hastened to admit her mistake. After suffering setbacks one after another, she was too embarrassed to stay. She said a few random words and left in a hurry.

Looking at Mrs. Hou's back, Wang Mian felt helpless.

Wang Heng seemed to be lost in thought: "Is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so troublesome?"

The entire Marquis's Mansion relies on Wang Mian for support, and Wang Mian also has Xiao Wuzhi's unconditional and unprincipled support. Wang Heng even comes personally to support Wang Mian, but the Marquis's wife still dares to find fault like this.

What does she rely on?

Isn’t she still a mother-in-law?

"A problem that has been difficult to solve for a thousand years!"

Wang Mian smiled and said, "Not just now, even in one or two thousand years, when everyone is equal, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will still exist."

"I'm better off. At least my husband loves me and protects me!"

The most tragic thing is not the evil mother-in-law, but the evil mother-in-law + the foolish filial son.

Yang Shou next door is a bit of a mama's boy, and his relationship with Zheng Shisan is average.

Wang Mian thought of her best friend and felt a little worried about her.

Subsequent facts proved that Wang Mian's worries were not unfounded.

Half a month later, just after the Lantern Festival, Zheng Shisan took action.

Zheng Shisan's birth was not premature, but had reached her due date.

But production is not easy.

After enduring a day and a night, on the 18th day of the first lunar month, Zheng Shisan gave birth to a baby girl.

Wang Heng also went there in person to take charge. In front of her, Princess Rui didn't say anything, but her smile was a little stiff.

As soon as Wang Heng left, Princess Rui gave two maids to Yang Shou.
