Chapter 431 Jun Qixian is pregnant with twins again
When Dongfang Jin saw Lin Min ask this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she quickly said, "Go back, all of you go back, my second sister-in-law is about to give birth!"
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, his face full of joy at the impending addition of a new member to the Prince Dun's household.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Yang Zhu's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock.
Her voice unconsciously rose: "Is she going into labor again?"
Her expression seemed to be confirming whether she had misheard. She had wanted to have a daughter for years, but nothing had happened.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Jin nodded vigorously, his face beaming with an unstoppable smile.
He said confidently, "Yes, twins again!" There was a hint of boasting in his voice.
"What?" Lin Min, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but widen her eyes upon hearing this.
His mouth gaped slightly, his face full of surprise. "This...this is too much of a coincidence!"
Yang Zhu snapped out of her daze, a genuine smile spreading across her face, and exclaimed, "Qi Xian is truly blessed!"
"You had twins the first time, and twins again this time. It's so enviable." As she spoke, her eyes were full of envy.
Lin Min sighed softly, a hint of envy on her face, and said with a touch of emotion, "She is indeed very fortunate."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Over the years, I've only had one son, Yao-ge'er."
A hint of regret unconsciously crept into his voice, "Now, Yao-ge'er is already sixteen years old."
If it weren't for my plan to take the imperial examination next year, I'd be of marriageable age by now.
She has no plans to have any more children; she now only hopes that her son will have a grandson.
The two knew that Dongfang Jin would be leaving that afternoon, and also that Jun Qixian was giving birth.
They said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Just as Gu Chenglin finished packing up all the things he wanted to take, Lin Min and Yang Zhu brought over a few free-range chickens, as well as a basket of free-range chicken eggs and a basket of duck eggs that Aunt Gu had asked them to bring.
It was said to be a gift for my second sister-in-law during her postpartum period.
When Dongfang Jin saw that they had brought so many things again, she asked why her third sister-in-law and Lin Min had left so quickly earlier.
It turns out they went back to get something.
After thanking them, Dongfang Jin did not let them leave empty-handed.
There are cherries grown in the space, oranges brought back from Guangxi Prefecture, sugarcane brought back from Yunmeng Prefecture, and Pu'er tea brought back from Yunzhou.
After seeing them off, Dongfang Jin took the three children to the valley of Lingwu Mountain to pick up Master Jingkong.
While the three children were playing in the valley with a large white tiger, a large black bear, and a small sika deer.
Dongfang Jin picked a lot of passion fruit, figs, pears, and various medicinal herbs in the valley.
On the way back, Cang Yanchuan sat comfortably on the Ruyi Carpet, holding a Silver Moon Pear in his hand and eating it with a "crunch crunch".
He was completely unaware that the sweet pear juice was dripping down his chin.
The little guy tilted his head back, his big, watery eyes full of confusion, and looked at Dongfang Jin beside him.
She asked in a clear voice, "Auntie, why don't you let the big white tiger come back to the capital with us?"
It's so majestic! It came back to our house with us and even played with us!
With a gentle smile on her lips, Dongfang Jin handed a silver moon pear to Master Jingkong.
He explained softly, "Xiao Chuan, they are wild beasts, and their habits are different from ours."
Once they leave this valley and enter the outside world, people will not only be afraid of them, but will also harm them.
Cang Linchuan blinked his bright, large eyes, clearly not satisfied with the answer.
The little head quickly turned to Master Jingkong, his face full of eagerness to verify: "Is it really like this? After the Great White Tiger comes out of the mountain, it will be beaten?"
Master Jingkong lovingly patted the little prince's head, his tone calm and patient: "Little prince, tigers and bears, these fierce beasts, should live freely in the mountains."
If they leave these mountains and venture into human territory, people will regard them as enemies out of fear and self-preservation.
For their own good, let them stay in the familiar mountains and forests.
After saying that, he looked at Dongfang Jin, holding up the Silver Moon Pear: "This pear is good, give me some, I'll put it in my Qiankun bag and eat it slowly."
Dongfang Jin took out a small Qiankun bag from his space and handed it to Master Jingkong: "Here, Star Grapes, Silver Moon Pears, and Green Dates."
Wine, rice, and vegetables—enough to last you for about six months.
Master Jingkong happily accepted the Qiankun bag: "Thank you, Princess Anqing. This old monk is in for a treat."
Dongfang Jin waved her hand and smiled, "It's alright, I'll give you more after you finish eating."
"I'm happy to hear your words," Master Jingkong said, stroking his beard.
When the group returned home, Gu Chenglin had already tidied up.
They said goodbye to Song Qing, Gu Yumei, and the others.
As the Ruyi Carpet rose higher and higher, the ground receded further and further away from them, and their home in Lingwu Village gradually shrank in their field of vision.
Dongfang Jin stood on the Ruyi Carpet, looking down at the scene below.
Today, Lingwu Village is completely different from what it used to be, and has become the richest village in Jing'an Town.
Because of its proximity to Ling'an County, the surrounding villages also benefited from Ling'an County's sweeping reforms.
Looking around, the dilapidated mud-brick houses and crumbling thatched huts have disappeared.
Instead, there are neat square courtyards and well-arranged two-story red brick buildings.
These buildings are modeled after Lingwu Village, with the old houses in the village being demolished.
The newly built houses were placed in the center of the village, and the vacated land belonged to the village collective.
Dongfang Jin helped Gu Chenglin's childhood friends in every way he could.
The Lin family, the Xu family, the Sun family, and Aunt Gu's whole family.
Nowadays, they have purchased properties and shops in county towns, townships, and even Anyang Prefecture, and have also started their own small workshops.
With careful management, these businesses can be passed down through generations.
The five families of Ma Wencai, Fang Shiyu, Liu Lingzui, Xie Wenke, and Guo Yuming have now established themselves firmly in Beijing.
Even the family business has now become part of the Lingyun Pavilion Chamber of Commerce.
The scions of these five families have now all become members of the Lingyun Pavilion.
The Liu family's winery and the Guo family's kiln factory even became places where the emperor's cousin trained talents.
Looking down at the completely transformed scenery, Dongfang Jin was filled with emotion.
She knew that this trip back to Beijing would likely mean she wouldn't be able to return to Lingwu Village for a long time.
Cang Yanchuan's face was flushed with excitement, his eyes were wide open, and he clung tightly to the edge of the Ruyi Blanket.
Leaning forward as if trying to stick his head out, he kept exclaiming, "Wow, the houses down there look like tiny boxes, and people look as small as ants!"
His chubby little hands gestured wildly in the air, trying to catch the rapidly receding scenery.
Cang Yanbei, the younger brother, was completely different from his older brother Cang Yanchuan, and was much quieter.
He sat obediently on the blanket, his hands neatly placed on his knees, his clear black and white eyes full of curiosity.
She stared intently down below, occasionally tilting her head slightly as she pondered the ever-changing, wondrous world below, her little face filled with seriousness.
Dongfang Jin stared at him speechlessly and said to Gu Chenglin, "Why can't this child be like Xiao Chuan?"
"That's good. Big brother likes him too, doesn't he?" Gu Chenglin said, looking down and affectionately putting his arm around her waist.
"Are you mentally prepared to stay in Beijing this time?"
Thinking that my second sister-in-law is about to have another baby, because I missed her first birth of Xiaochuan and Xiaobei.
Every time they communicated, her second sister-in-law would complain to her.
However, she still felt somewhat resistant to giving birth this time.
"I've prepared everything I need for my second sister-in-law. I'll wait until she gives birth before I go to see her."
Gu Chenglin flicked her nose: "Whatever you want."
Sigh, is it still not possible to let her have children?
He wants a child with her now; he's practically obsessed with it.
Staring at Xiao Chuan and Xiao Bei, he often fantasized about how wonderful it would be if he had a pair of children like them.
