Chapter 423 Twins, Confinement

"It's not hard, where are the children?"

Signaling him to put her down, Shen Xiangwan grabbed a set of pajamas out of thin air and put them on. She really didn't feel any pain during the whole process. After waking up, she had completely recovered. The only difference was that she had already unloaded the baby and her stomach was empty.

"Congratulations, Master. Both of the little ones are very healthy. The boy is the older brother, weighing 3 kilograms, and the girl is the younger sister, weighing 2,500 grams."

As soon as he finished speaking, No. 3 came over with a stroller, smiling widely. The two children had already fallen asleep. Although they were very small because they were only eight months old, they were both fair and clean, with thick black hair on their heads. They looked very cute, and had perfectly inherited the looks of their parents.

"is it?"

Shen Xiangwan picked up one of the children with a smile on her face: "Chengyi, look, he is the older brother, and he looks like you."

"Ah."

Looking at them, Wei Chengyi also laughed. These were his and Wanwan’s sons. They had their own bloodline.

It was not until Wei Chengyi took the child out that Zhao Yuping and the others learned that Shen Xiangwan had given birth. Everyone in the room was stunned. After they came to their senses, they quickly ordered the kitchen to stew a chicken. They went upstairs to see Shen Xiangwan together. They were relieved to see that her face was rosy and she did not look tired or weak at all after giving birth. The two children were loved by everyone in the family, including the little Tuanzi who had just turned one year old.

Upon learning that Shen Xiangwan had given birth, the Yan family, the branch family, the generals' families, and even Aunt Wang all came to congratulate them. When they saw the fair-skinned brother and sister, they were all very happy and praised Shen Xiangwan for being so lucky to have a son and a daughter in one pregnancy.

Confinement is very painful, especially now in July when the sun is scorching. Shen Xiangwan couldn't stand it after just a few days. When no one was around, she would always act like a spoiled child and complain to Wei Chengyi, making him feel distressed.

In order to accompany her, Wei Chengyi even moved his desk into the bedroom. Whenever she had the slightest need, he would satisfy her first no matter how busy he was.

"Little Yanqing, little Yanyu, I'm your big brother, can you grow up quickly? I'll play with you."

After returning from school at noon, the first thing the little cub did was to run to the second floor to see his younger brother and sister. The couple named the children Wei Yanqing and Wei Yanyu. They were too lazy to give them nicknames, so they just called them Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Yanyu. At this time, even though they were harassed by their older brother, the two children were still sleeping soundly, and would spit out milk bubbles from time to time. They were so cute.

"I knew you would come here, why don't you come downstairs and eat?"

Zhao Yuping came in from outside holding a tray. She came to bring lunch to Shen Xiangwan and call the child downstairs. With him making so much noise next to her, how could Wanwan stay in peace during the confinement period?

"it is good."

The little cub responded obediently, and then climbed into the crib to touch the white and tender faces of his brothers and sisters before reluctantly leaving. Zhao Yuping shook her head in amusement and brought the tray to Shen Xiangwan: "Eat the stewed old hen today while it's hot."

"···"

Couldn't she just forgive her?

Shen Xiangwan wanted to cry but had no tears. The confinement meals were not for human consumption. They were not even salty. No matter how delicious the chicken soup was, she was about to vomit after eating it for half a month. If possible, she would like to have a plate of cold spicy chicken, the kind with spicy and numbing flavors, to stimulate her taste buds which were almost numb.

"You have to eat. Giving birth is very bad for your body. You must make up for it during the confinement period." She couldn't hide the disgust on her face. Zhao Yuping glared at her in pretended annoyance, put down the tray, scooped out a bowl of stewed chicken and handed it to her.

"Cheng Yi..."

Shen Xiangwan looked at Wei Chengyi for help. Before he could respond, Zhao Yuping said, "It's no use calling Chengyi. If you don't want to eat by yourself, I don't mind feeding you."

"Forehead···"

His forehead went dark, and Shen Xiangwan took the bowl helplessly: "Isn't it okay for me to eat it?"

As she said this, she had to scoop up a piece of chicken with a spoon and put it into her mouth in front of her, chewing and swallowing almost numbly.

"You, don't be willful, we are all doing this for your own good."

Zhao Yuping poked her head unhappily and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she reminded her worriedly, "Eat more. I'll check on you later."

"Yes."

Shen Xiangwan responded tiredly and continued to eat resignedly. When they were the only ones left in the room, Wei Chengyi sat over and took the bowl from her hand: "How about asking No. 1 to make you something delicious?"

He really couldn't bear to see her eating in such pain. Besides, he had also tasted the confinement meals prepared by his mother and others. They were really too bland. No one wanted to eat them a second time after having them once.

"Hmm."

Shen Xiangwan nodded hurriedly: "My husband still loves me the most."

As she said that, she leaned over and gave him a kiss on the corner of his mouth. As a doctor herself, she naturally knew that having a child was indeed very damaging to the body, and that one should definitely take supplements if possible. However, they only put a tiny bit of salt in the food they stewed, and it had no taste at all. She really couldn't get used to it.

Rubbing her head lovingly, Wei Chengyi disappeared into the room with the chicken soup brought by Zhao Yuping. When he reappeared, the chicken soup was gone. Even the casserole and dishes were washed clean, and when he went downstairs to eat, he took them down with him. With his indulgence, Shen Xiangwan finally didn't have to eat those saltless and tasteless things every meal. But she was still in confinement after all, so Wei Chengyi didn't really let No. 1 prepare any heavy-tasting dishes for her. She still kept light dishes, but not so bland.

Shen Xiangwan's birth was a big deal, so she sent someone to Yuzhou to announce the good news. When the person who brought the good news came back, he brought a lot of things, most of which were precious medicinal herbs, as well as gifts for the two children from Chu Liang and Liang Yuting, filling several large boxes.

At the same time, after taking Mingzhou, Yan Lang and his sons went there personally to take charge and lead the people in planting potatoes. Hearing that the yield could reach more than 5,000 kilograms, the people of Mingzhou were all very excited and worked very hard, wishing they could harvest the same day they planted.

In addition, Yan Lang also punished a large number of wealthy families who were unkind and confiscated all their property. The money was put into the government treasury, and the land was distributed to the people who had no land or relatively little land. This move undoubtedly won the support of the people of Mingzhou. In just over a month, they all supported the government and the Wei family army from the bottom of their hearts.

"They're coming down."

On August 7, Shen Xiangwan finally left the confinement period. Wei Chengyi and the others would be very busy and probably wouldn't have time to hold a hundred-day banquet for the children, so they simply held a full-month banquet first. When everyone saw the couple coming down from upstairs holding the children, they went to greet them. After a whole month of pampering, the two children had grown a lot, their faces had gained weight, their skin was white and glowing, and they looked even more adorable.
