In March of the 12th year of Tianshun, Daqi, Dongfu, Shuangdian County.

"Oh, I don't know how Jiajun is doing in the capital? It's time to finish the test now, right? I wonder if Jiajun can pass the Jinshi this year." An old woman sat on the kang and said this to the woman opposite. This old woman probably looks like she is in her sixties and looks quite rich.

"Mom, why are you in a hurry? Jiajun is only 25 years old this year. I remember that my second child was only 28 years old when he passed the Jinshi. If we didn't pass this year, we would just take the exam again. Jiajun insisted on taking the exam, otherwise, the Xu family would have wanted to get a job for Jiajun long ago." A woman sat opposite the old woman, who was about forty years old and was well maintained. Judging from her appearance, she was also a beauty when she was young.

"This is a juren, and if you are an official, you are not as good as a Jinshi. Look at the fifth brother of the Xu family, now he is just a state magistrate. It seems that it will be difficult to rise further. Our Jiajun is very arrogant, so how can he be so determined? If he wants to fight, we should support him." The old lady couldn't help but smile when she mentioned her children and grandchildren. "The second brother is not bad now. She has become an magistrate. Last time I wrote, wouldn't she say that she would be transferred back to the capital next year?"

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, a girl came in outside, "Old lady, big lady, young grandma are here."

As soon as the door opened outside, a girl came in with a big belly. Judging from this, she might have given birth to a child recently. The one who came was not someone else, but Jinghe.

With the help of the girl Jixiang and Ruyi, Jinghe entered the house and came to her mother-in-law and grandma. She bent her knees slightly, "Grandma? Mother."

"You are about to give birth, why are you here to do? Be careful of your body." Jinghe's mother-in-law Feng quickly waved her hand and asked Jinghe to sit down.

"My wife is in the house all day long and feels so frustrated that she is just out for a walk? It will be easier to have a child at that time." Jinghe Xiaoxiao didn't say much.

Jinghe got married in the first month of the eighth year of Tianshun, and in the winter month, he gave birth to his eldest son. After a year, he gave birth to a second son. Now this is the third one in his belly, and I don’t know if it is a boy or a girl. In the past four years of marriage, the couple has a good relationship. It’s the old lady of the Dong family? She is a scheming person. She is always willing to talk about ethics. Fortunately, Jinghe has a good personality and has given birth to two sons in a row. Now in the Dong family, it’s pretty good.

"Well? It's better to walk more? You'll have a faster time. You're the third one? It should be nothing." The old lady sat on the kang, looking at the grandson's belly, nodding with satisfaction. The old lady was quite satisfied with this grandson's wife. Now there are four children in the Xu family who serve as officials in the court, and one of them has been named a marquis. The other brother-in-law, not only are there officials, but also a prince, which is amazing. With such a family, quietness is still the same, humble and gentleness, which is the most satisfying thing about the old lady.

"It would be great if Jiajun could go to high school this time. Our family will have two Jinshi." The old lady muttered.

"My husband has been working hard for the past three years, and he will definitely be able to go to high school this year. Grandma, please wait for others to come and report the good news." Jinghe is very confident about her husband.

The old lady naturally likes to listen to this. When she heard her grandson’s wife say this, she nodded quickly, “Yes, she will definitely be able to go to high school.”

As he was talking, someone shouted outside, "Mom, a letter has been sent from the capital, we Jiajun has been defeated." As he spoke, a middle-aged man came in from outside, took a letter in his hand, and still had an excited expression on his face.

"Really? Jiajun really won?" The old lady stood up excitedly when she heard this. "What is the letter saying? Read it to me quickly."

"Mom, Jiajun won the third place in the second place, Jiajun won the Jinshi. This letter was sent by Dalang of the Xu family, saying that Jiajun came back later. The emperor gave these Jinshi a two-month holiday, waiting to return to Beijing to worship his ancestors, and then return to Beijing to enter the Hanlin Academy." Dong Shaochang took the letter and told his mother the content.

"Okay, okay, so good, so good. Our Jiajun is now a glorious family. Old man, have you heard it? Not only our son is an official, but our grandson is also a Jinshi." The old lady couldn't help crying with joy.

Feng and Jinghe quickly stepped forward to comfort him. After a while, the old lady got better. "Everyone is ready, Jiajun is coming back soon. We have to celebrate well. This time, all relatives and friends will be invited. Let's set up his three-day and three-night mat." The old lady ordered.

Dong Shaochang quickly agreed, and then he and his wife went to prepare.

Jinghe was naturally happy, "Grandma, father, mother, daughter-in-law, go back to the room first. My wife is now in this way, so she can't help much. Her father and mother are tired." Jinghe stood up, bowed to the three of them, and was about to turn around and go back to the room.

However, before she could take two steps, she felt her stomach hurt, "No, I seem to be giving birth."

Now the Dong family became lively. The eldest young master passed the Jinshi and the eldest young lady was going to give birth. This was a happy ending. Fortunately, the delivery room had been prepared for a long time. Several girls and mothers helped Jinghe to the delivery room. Someone there went to find a midwife, and everyone was busy.

Jinghe was lying on the kang, and her stomach hurt. After all, she had two children and was quite experienced. The most important thing at this time was to preserve her physical strength, so she gritted her teeth, didn't shout or scream, and asked the girl to prepare some food for her. When the girl brought her poached eggs, Jinghe ate four in one breath.

Jinghe gave birth to this baby very quickly. An hour later, a loud baby crying came from the room, and the child was born.

A girl came out to report the news in the delivery room, "I've given birth, I've given birth, my eldest grandmother gave birth to a son."

Outside the delivery room, the old lady of Dong and Feng were very happy, "Okay, okay, boy. Hurry up, send someone to the in-laws to report the news, and then said that Jinghe was born and the mother and son were safe. In addition, all the servants in the mansion would give me a monthly salary of two months, and I would carry two baskets of money out to reward those beggars." The old lady was generous enough.

"Thank you for your reward." These servants were all so happy.

Jinghe lay on the kang, listening to the movements outside, and gradually closed her eyes. "Jixiang, look at the third young master carefully. I am tired, so sleep for a while." The just-off childbirth exhausted her energy.

"Grandma, take a good rest. You are a great hero now." Jixiang and Ruyi next to him quickly cleaned up the house, and then placed the baby next to Jinghe. "The third young master is very strong and a beautiful child."
