Chapter 274: The Secret Prescription for a Son

Is that what the Elder Master said?

After listening to Siqi's report, the first person to react was not Jia Yingchun, but the big maid Xiuju, who was on the side.

She was shocked while clenching her collar, her eyes wide open, and she said incredulously, "Madam hasn't even finished the marriage procedure at the hall yet. Why... Why does he say it so mercilessly?

Although Jia Yingchun didn't say anything, looking at the delicate figure in the big red auspicious dress trembling slightly, she knew that her heart was also restless and tense.

Without mercy?

With a disdainful pout, Siqi retorted, "If he were to say this in front of my Second Lady... in front of Madam, it would be truly heartless! Now, it's better to speak clearly in advance than to have someone speculate about it.

As she spoke, she took out the few pages of paper from her sleeve and handed them to Jia Yingchun, saying, "The Elder Master is probably not coming tonight. Madam, you might as well take a look at this prescription first. We'll have to follow suit in the evening and not make any mistakes.

Jia Yingchun was stunned for a while before reaching out and taking the piece of paper into her hand. However, she was not in a hurry to look but looked up with a hesitant expression.

Xiuju saw her cherry mouth under the cover moving incessantly but didn't utter a whole word for a while. She couldn't help but step in and ask, "Sister Siqi, if Madam doesn't give birth to a son and a half-daughter in the future, would the Elder Master really be impolite?

Think of the positive in everything first.

Siqi interrupted her words with a hint of sarcasm, saying, "Isn't that what Madam does normally? Since the Elder Master cares most about children, once our Madam gives birth to the eldest son, we will have a saying in this mansion.

After a pause, she gave an example and said, "Forget about anything else, let's just talk about Concubine Ruan in the Second Master's house. I heard that since giving birth to a son, she has been in charge of this mansion. Even the concubines in the Elder Master's house go to her every month to collect their expenses.

Xiuju originally furrowed her brows tightly, but when she heard Siqi talk about Ruan Rong, she suddenly stretched out and showed a hopeful look in her eyes.

If Madam Wang has always been a benchmark for girls in the Rongguo Mansion, Ruan Rong's current life was undoubtedly the dream of servant girls and concubines!

Xiuju couldn't help but come up with the idea that if she could lead Jia Yingchun to have the eldest son of a concubine, could she also have unlimited scenery like Ruan Rong?

If she really did this, wouldn't she become the coquettish hoof of that fox seducing the Master?

She was startled by this bold idea and hastily made some self-criticism, but as soon as this evil idea sprouted, how could it be so easy to eradicate it?

There was nothing to do, and Xiuju could only hold it to her heart first, pretending to share her worries with others. She frowned and said, "But I heard that in recent years, Elder Master has been burning incense and worshipping Buddha everywhere, and he has received many women who match the eight characters and are easy to have children. There are even a few women who have given birth, but they still havent been able to have a child or so.

Body shaping could increase attractiveness for men by improving flexibility while making it easier to unlock more postures. Could this be considered a secret prescription for seeking children?

Jia Yingchun heard that what she said was reasonable and knew that this would be the thing to determine whether she would be happy or worried for the rest of her life. She looked at the prescription and didnt care if it was effective or not, so she didn't have to be shy and carefully jotted down a few postures before preparing to start practicing.

It was just that she was wearing a phoenix crown and accessories, with a hard strap tied in a bow on her back waist, making it difficult to move freely, let alone do yoga.

After trying several times, she couldn't even pose in the simplest position and almost dropped the phoenix crown to the ground.

Forget it.

Upon seeing this, Siqi had to advise, "It's better to wait until the evening when we finish the ceremony. Madam, take off this outfit and try again, just memorize the posture on it for now.

Knock Knock~

At this moment, there was a sudden knocking sound outside the door. Yingchun, who was frightened, quickly covered up her face again. Then, the woman said happily, "Lady Siqi and Lady Xiuju, come out and take a look! The house has sent out the bounty, and we, who have just come over with the dowry, can still receive a double share.

Xiuju has always been a financial fanatic. As soon as she heard that there was a double reward to receive, she quickly stepped forward and opened the door.

Siqi remained calm and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this wedding red packet given when we just entered the door? How come there is a reward to receive again?

The old woman held a small ingot in her hand and couldn't close her mouth with joy, saying, "I heard that there has been a decree. The eldest son of the Second Master in this mansion is given the title of Cavalry Captain. Both the Second Master and the Elder Master are overjoyed, so they have issued a large reward heavily.

Ruan Rong's eldest son unexpectedly received a reward from the Emperor.

The three people in the room looked at each other but in different moods.

Meanwhile, in the front hall, Sun Shaozong seemed to be laughing heartily. Although it was an old custom of all dynasties to give rewards to wives and children when there were no rewards available for a moment, he couldn't help but mutter.

Generally, those who have conferred a title would be the legitimate Eldest Son or the legitimate Second Son. But now, the title was given to the Eldest Son of a concubine, which appeared somewhat strange.

Furthermore, Sun Shaozong himself didnt even have a legitimate title yet. Was it necessary to skip himself and directly bestow a title on his son?

But no matter how confused he was in his heart, he didnt dare to show it in public. Not because he was afraid of being seen by someone spreading it to Emperor Guangde, but because he was worried that Ruan Rong would know and think he valued the difference between the legitimate and concubine.

So Sun Shaozong could only pretend to be overjoyed and perfunctory, with sincere or fake greetings to the guests.
