Chapter 259 Where does joy come from?
"You old thing, could you please stop beating around the bush? Just tell me what you want to say all at once." The Emperor Wang now wished he could kick Eunuch Wang in the butt to make him fart.
"Yes, Wang Nei Shi, please tell us where our father's happiness comes from?" At this time, the head of the Chu family couldn't help but ask. They were all in the palace and hadn't heard of any happy events. Ming'er had just left the capital a few days ago and hadn't received any news.
Wang the eunuch wiped his face fiercely, swallowed the saliva that kept welling up in his mouth, and blurted out: "Mrs. Chu is pregnant!"
"what!?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Which Mrs. Chu?"
The head of the Chu family could not help but walk quickly to Wang Nei Shi, picked him up from the ground, stared into his eyes and asked word by word: "Tell me again, who is pregnant?"
The smaller Wang Eunuch was grabbed by the collar. He kicked his feet pitifully and tried to squeeze out words from his throat: "Just now, Butler Chu came in person to tell us that Madam Chu is pregnant. Congratulations, Master Chu."
Wang, who had finally managed to finish a sentence, could no longer hold it in and suddenly started coughing. The Chu family head, who was stunned by the surprise, grinned and looked at the old Chu family head in confusion, "Dad, am I going to be a father again?"
Patriarch Chu glared at him fiercely and angrily said, "You idiot, if you don't let go of Wang Nei Shi, he will be unable to breathe. Let go now."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The head of the Chu family grinned and kept apologizing while helping Wang the eunuch to tidy up his clothes.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Wang Nei Shi waved his hands, but couldn't stop coughing. He originally thought this was a good job and a happy event, but he didn't expect that the always gentle and polite Chu family master almost took his life.
At this time, Wang Huang and others also reacted and hurriedly congratulated the old master Chu.
"Haha, congratulations to Mr. Chu." Wang Huang smiled and patted his old friend on the shoulder. "This is not only a happy event for the Chu family, but also a happy event for Haoyue."
"Now you can rest assured, Old Man Chu. Hahaha, this is really a happy event." The old head of the Situ family laughed.
The issue of the Chu family's heirs has always been a concern for the four families. If Mrs. Chu can give birth to a boy again this time, the Chu family will really turn things around in this generation. They no longer worry that this branch of the Chu family will be cut off.
The emperor looked at the head of the Chu family, who had never closed his mouth when he heard the news, and his eyes flashed. If you calculate carefully, the queen is a few years younger than Mrs. Chu. So can the queen also...
He quietly touched the arm of the head of the Chu family and asked softly, "Brother Chu, may I ask why Mrs. Chu suddenly became pregnant?"
Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears. Chu Zeming was already fourteen or fifteen years old. Mrs. Chu's stomach had not moved for more than ten years since he was born. It would be a lie to say that she was not anxious. She had seen the right doctors and taken the right medicines, but nothing worked.
It’s been less than a month since the New Year, how come good news suddenly came out of nowhere?
"Hehehe," the head of the Chu family laughed for a while before saying anything, and everyone was so anxious that they came up and kicked him twice.
After finally controlling his emotions, Patriarch Chu glanced at the people who were staring at him anxiously and said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank Xiang girl."
Now everyone became even more curious, and the head of the Feng family blurted out: "Xiang girl has such a great ability. Can she make a woman pregnant thousands of miles away?"
"Oh, Brother Feng, just say this here. If the people hear it, they will think that their Princess Xiang is either a fairy or a monster." Patriarch Chu teased, and then suddenly thought of something, looked at his son and asked, "Could it be...?"
"That's right. Ming'er brought back several prescriptions of herbal medicine this time. I heard that before he left, Xiang Yatou repeatedly told me and my wife to drink them every day."
"I originally thought that it was for strengthening the body like the previous prescriptions, but I didn't expect that such a great gift would be given to our Chu family." After saying that, he solemnly bowed to Emperor Wang, Patriarch Feng, and the Emperor.
Thanks to them for giving birth to Meixiang, who not only cured Chu Zeming's illness, but also gave birth to a child for the Chu family.
"Okay, okay, hahaha, you two don't have to waste time here anymore, go back and see Madam Chu. If there is anything missing, just send someone to the palace to get it." Wang Huang laughed.
Meixiang not only brought vitality to the Chu family, but also brought vitality to the Wang family and Haoyue. Haoyue couldn't live without the Chu family, and the Wang family couldn't live without the Chu family's assistance.
The father and son, who had long wished they could grow wings and fly back home, walked out of the palace gate in two steps without even paying attention to etiquette after hearing what the emperor said.
"I have to go back quickly to see if there is anything at home that Mrs. Chu can use, and have someone send it to him." The old head of the Situ family, who has always been careless about trivial matters, suddenly spoke up.
"Yes, yes, yes, what old man Situ said hit the nail on the head. I'll go to the warehouse to take a look too. Madam Chu's belly is very precious now. Hahaha..." Old Patriarch Feng said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go." After hastily paying their respects to Wang Huang, the four of them left in a hurry.
Suddenly, Wang Huang and his son were the only ones left in the huge imperial study. They looked at each other and immediately understood what each other was thinking.
I only learned from letters some time ago that Xiang Yatou opened a medical school in Liuzhou Prefecture, and the old doctor Wang also asked the three stubborn old men Dou, Shi and Gudu for help.
Later, we heard that Xiang Yatou used a knife to cut open the belly of a pregnant woman and saved a woman who was having a difficult labor. Not only were the mother and the child safe, but they were also rare twins, a boy and a girl.
Later, it was heard that under Xiang Yatou's care, a remarried woman in her thirties in the Liu family became pregnant. For a time, the small clinic they opened in the capital was crowded with pregnant girls.
This, this, what did they hear just now? Xiang Yatou used a few prescriptions to make Mrs. Chu pregnant successfully.
"Dad, this girl is really amazing if she doesn't make any noise."
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being a descendant of our Wang family. You are more capable than other children." At this point, Wang Huang couldn't help but show off, "You said, Xiang girl can make so many people pregnant, can you and Feng family girl also be able to..."
Before Wang Huang could finish his words, they were drowned out by the tacit understanding between father and son.
With the palace, Feng, Chu, and Situ families sending cartloads of things to the Chu family as if they were free, and the court doctors and imperial physicians going in and out of the Chu family's gate one after another.
Soon, the news that Mrs. Chu was pregnant spread out and quickly spread to various cities in the capital.
