Chapter 41 Being able to eat means being able to give birth
Zhao Yuan: There are indeed more than ordinary girls.
He had not observed other girls, but there was Zhao Wanjun who was the same age as Jiang Fu in the Duke's Mansion. Zhao Yuan still knew what Zhao Wanjun's appetite was.
In Mrs. Chen's words, it was just like a cat. Mrs. Chen often suspected that Zhao Wanjun would starve to death.
Jiang Fu's appetite...
Zhao Yuan thought that at least his mother had one less thing to worry about, and she would not worry that her daughter-in-law would starve to death.
Mrs. Chen was indeed very satisfied with Jiang Fu's appetite.
In Mrs. Chen's mind, being able to eat means being able to give birth.
At Zhao Yuan's age, it is very important to find a wife who can bear children.
It is more important than having a strong housekeeper, being talented and knowing etiquette.
No matter how capable a housekeeper is, she still needs someone at home to take care of her, right?
As for being talented and knowing etiquette, even if there are only a few people in the family, it is useless!
So being able to give birth is the most important thing.
If you can give birth, if you give birth to two in three years and three in five years, the Duke's Mansion, with its declining population, will become lively.
The fat and white dolls gathered around her feet, calling her grandma...
Mrs. Chen felt so beautiful when she thought about such days, so she was very satisfied with Jiang Fu's ability to eat.
Because she was satisfied, when Jiang Fu said with embarrassment, "I'm full," Mrs. Chen smiled lovingly and said, "Eat two more buns. The chef in the house can make pasta by the handful." He is a good hand, especially these fresh meat buns, he always makes them delicious."
Jiang Fu looked at the meat buns. They were indeed not big, just a little bigger than Xiao Long Bao.
If she hadn't eaten anything, she would be able to eat seven or eight of them at this size, which would definitely not be a problem.
But she had shrimp dumplings, pork ribs, porridge, pancakes, and she had already eaten two of those steamed buns just now, so now...
Jiang Fu waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm really full."
Mrs. Chen saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so she smiled and said, "It's good to eat as long as you're full."
Jiang Fu smiles jpg [So embarrassing! 】
After breakfast, Zhao Yuan's two uncles got up and left as they had something else to do. The two aunts did not sit down and walked away together.
They left, and Zhao Yuan also said that he still had official business to deal with, so he went to the study.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help scolding him, "It's official, official, official, can I call you dad or something?"
After saying that, Mrs. Chen realized that Jiang Fu, the daughter-in-law, was still sitting in front of her, and her expression suddenly became awkward. "Ah, um, Fu'er, is it okay for mother to call you that?"
Jiang Fu nodded quickly.
Mrs. Chen continued, "Mom, my mother is used to speaking openly. What I just said... made you laugh." Mrs. Chen was very embarrassed.
Jiang Fu shook her head quickly, "No, no, on the contrary, I think my mother is a kind-hearted person, and she said these things in front of me without treating me as an outsider."
Mrs. Chen was happy when she heard this. "Oh, Fu'er, after hearing what you said, my mother will say something heartfelt to you." After Mrs. Chen said this, she pointed outside the hall, "Look. Our Duke's mansion has a deep courtyard and the gate is big enough, right?"
"But this serious master, you said with your fingers that there are only three people in total." After saying this, Mrs. Chen quickly said: "Now that's good, now I have added you."
"The number of people in our Duke's mansion is declining, and Yuan'er... often goes to the military and is rarely at home, so our Duke's mansion seems to be a prestigious one, but it really doesn't have as many rules as others, so Fu'er, You can follow your heart from now on and don't think too much about the rules."
"This morning tea invitation is just for today. From tomorrow on, you won't have to do it. There's no one at home, so we won't pay attention to that." Mrs. Chen actually said this with selfish motives. , she could think of it with her toes as to why Jiang Fu showed up so late in the morning.
Since she wants grandchildren, where will the grandchildren come from?
It’s not just about getting a son, but the daughter-in-law works hard.
As the saying goes, you can't want the horse to run but also want the horse not to eat grass.
You want a son, and your daughter-in-law works hard to create a grandson, but you still act like a plague, staring at others every day, waiting for them to come and greet you. How much energy does that young man have?
So the matter of asking for good morning tea can be dispensed with.
Although Mrs. Chen said she was exempted, Jiang Fu did not show any surprise immediately. Instead, she stood up and saluted with an embarrassed look on her face, as if she had done something wrong, and carefully said, "Mom, this... I'm afraid it's inappropriate. If this is the case, If word gets out, others should say that my daughter-in-law is ignorant."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen motioned for her to come forward, then clapped her hand and said, "Don't worry, no one will spread this matter." Then she gave Jiang Fu a teasing look, "You, the most important thing with Yuan'er at the moment is The thing is to give my mother a grandson. With this, let alone asking for mercy, my mother is willing to let her close her eyes tomorrow."
After Jiang Fu heard this, she knelt down with a look of fear, "Mother, I don't dare to say this."
Mrs. Chen immediately smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes," she said, turning her face and "bah, bah, bah" a few times, "Now that Yuan'er is married to you, mother is just waiting to hold her grandson. If I live a few more years, the best thing is to live like an old witch. In this way, not only can I see my grandchildren, but I can also see my children get married and have great-grandchildren in the future!"
Jiang Fu immediately answered with a smile, "My mother will live a long life."
Because she got up late in the morning and wasted time eating breakfast, it was lunch time not long after Jiang Fu accompanied Mrs. Chen.
The dishes for lunch were still sumptuous. Because of Jiang Fu’s appetite in the morning, Mrs. Chen kept asking the serving maid to pick up dishes for Jiang Fu during lunch.
She didn't move much after eating in the morning, and then had a big meal at noon. Jiang Fu felt that she couldn't move after eating.
Fortunately, after lunch, Mrs. Chen wanted to take a lunch break, so she was helped back by Xiao Yuan.
She walked with Zhao Wanjun, whose courtyard was not far from the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.
Seeing that Jiang Fu had reached her end, when the two were walking together, Zhao Wanjun asked with concern, "Will Wanjun go make a bowl of digestion soup for mother?"
Although she had already heard Zhao Wanjun speak formally in the morning, and Zhao Wanjun had called her mother several times while sitting with the old lady all morning, but when she heard Zhao Wanjun call her mother again, Jiang Fu still felt very excited.
She spoke with a slightly difficult tone, "Wanjun, look, why don't you stop calling me mother in private? Just call me by my name as before."
Being called mother by a peer...
After hearing this, Zhao Wanjun immediately shook her head. She sternly refused, "Mom, this is unreasonable."
If it weren't for Zhao Wanjun's serious expression, Jiang Fu would have felt that this person was deliberately making herself uncomfortable!
But she knew that this was impossible. Zhao Wanjun rejected her proposal because she really felt it was unreasonable.
