Chapter 731 - 355 Jiaqian_1
Old Duke Liang had chosen grand names for the two boys, the first one named Liang Sicheng, and the second one named Liang Sixin.
These two kids were good eaters, sleepers, and quite the fuss-makers, now the darlings of the elders. Every morning at the Si Hour, the ancestors would come to visit them at the Lianxiang Courtyard along with the Eldest old lady, saying that a day without seeing them would mean a sleepless night. Old Duke Liang would also come by every now and then, shamelessly thickening his face, arriving in the evening after Liang Jinzhao returned home, waiting in the drawing-room for the wet nurse to bring the kids out for a quick glance before leaving.
Lady Cui would accompany the two elders to Lianxiang Courtyard every day, both to mend their relationship and to see her grandsons, killing two birds with one stone. As for her daily tasks, she would defer them until later. She had realized that however well she could manage the household, it could not compare to winning over the hearts of the elders, nor to the confidence of having grandsons.
On this day, a strong wind began to blow outside. Even though Qian Yixiu was sitting on the bed without going out, and the windows of the room were closed, she could see the darkening skies and the trees bending with the wind and knew a change in the weather was upon them.
Bai Zhu came in carrying a food box, bringing with her a draft of cool air.
Sister Zeng scolded, "The weather has changed today; in the future, make sure to dispel the cool air outside before entering the room."
Bai Zhu stuck out her tongue and complied, proceeding to take out the food from the food box one by one. A small bowl of sheep milk poached eggs, a small bowl of chicken stewed with tongcao, a small bowl of peanut and pig’s trotter soup, two small shengjian buns, and two small lotus root starch cakes.
This was Qian Yixiu’s breakfast meant for both nourishment and increasing milk production.
The boys were good eaters, and in order to supply enough milk, Qian Yixiu also ate heartily. Although there were wet nurses, Qian Yixiu fully believed that with her long consumption of Jade Spring water mixed with Pearls powder, her milk was more nutritious. She preferred the boys feed on her milk and only rely on the wet nurse’s milk when hers was insufficient.
Fortunately, she had inherited the beauty genes from her beautiful grandparents, and no matter how much she ate, she did not become deformed from fat, just a bit plumper than before.
After finishing her meal, she was still sweating profusely. She wiped her face with a handkerchief, her body itching uncomfortably. She rubbed her back and scratched her head. Thankfully, the weather was cool enough that her body did not stink.
