Lady Xiao said with a smile, "Chenchen arranged for me to stay here, firstly because the village has experienced and skilled midwives, and secondly, Aunty Yang and the three sisters would keep me company. Moreover, with Chenchen's exceptional medical skills, Aunty Luo need not worry.
Chenchen also mentioned that children breastfed by their mothers will be closer to them and it's beneficial to their growth, so I plan to nurse the baby myself. If it is not enough, we can then look for a wet nurse."
"Mmm, that's a good method; children indeed need to spend more time with their mothers to do well." Old Lady Luo agreed. "Our Mengmeng does indeed possess exceptional medical skills, and with Mengmeng here, I am naturally at ease."
Ever since taking the Nourishing Pills developed by Mengmeng, she and the old master had clearly felt more spirited and appeared several years younger, all thanks to Mengmeng's efforts.
Not only Old Lady Luo thought this way, but all seven of Old Hai's family did as well.
Within just a couple of days after coming to the Yang family, Ms. Yang had diagnosed and taken good care of each of them, and their old ailments had not only completely healed but their vitality and spirits were also much stronger than before.
"My medical skills were all taught by Uncle Luo. Grandmother praises me, which is like praising Uncle Luo," Yang Mengchen said playfully.
Old Lady Luo playfully tapped Yang Mengchen's cute nose with a reproachful look. "Grandma is praising you; it has nothing to do with Zhangzhang." She knew very well the extent of her son's medical skills.
"Does Mother not understand? Mengmeng has always respected the old master, and whenever there's something good, Mengmeng never forgets the old master," Lady Luo interjected.
"Oh my, listen to the sourness in that tone," Old Lady Luo deliberately glanced at her daughter-in-law with mock seriousness: "When has Mengmeng ever had any good fortune and not thought of you? To be jealous of Zhangzhang, really, that's shameless."
Lady Luo hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "Your daughter-in-law misspoke, it's deserving of punishment," she said, as she pretended to slap her own mouth.
The company couldn't contain their laughter.
Ever since Lady Hua entered the garden, she couldn't help but look around. Seeing this, Yang Mengchen secretly ordered Mo Mei to lead Lady Hua and her servants to the East Wing Room in the second courtyard, while she herself led Old Lady Luo and the other ladies into the West Wing Room in the central courtyard.
"This is Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo's room. Grandma Luo, please let me know if there's anything that needs to be adjusted or added, and I'll make arrangements afterwards. This room will always be reserved for Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo. Grandpa and Grandma live across from here, and the four of you elders can keep each other company.
Additionally, Uncle and Aunty Luo, Uncle and Aunty Xiao will stay in the same building as me."
"This is very good; no further adjustments or additions are needed." Old Lady Luo happily surveyed the room: "Our Mengmeng really is clever and skillful. Just look how warm and refined the decoration of this room is."
The light green walls were adorned with several lifelike landscapes, and the cement floor was very smooth.
To the left, against the wall, there was a light blue loveseat, with peonies—symbols of wealth—embroidered on the fabric and throw pillows. In front of the sofa sat a finely carved coffee table with delicate tea sets, a basket filled with fruit, and beside it, several modern chairs, including two rocking chairs.
On the floor and wooden racks around the room, green plants and blooming flowers in pots vied for attention.
By the window was a desk and a large bookshelf, complete with the Four Treasures of the Study, with all sorts of books neatly categorized.
Separated by a light yellow curtain on the right was a bed that blended modern sensibilities with ancient features, in ivory with carved flowers, along with a vanity table, large wardrobe, and tables and stools. The windows were not pasted with rice paper but fitted with mosquito screens (waiting for Ceramic Glaze to arrive, and then Yang Mengchen would install glazed windows).
On either side were embroidered curtains, one thin and one thick. Next to it, a small room served as a washroom, clean and tidy.
The whole room felt refreshingly new yet elegantly comfortable, and everyone was very pleased, constantly praising Yang Mengchen.
On learning of Long Xuanmo's arrival, everyone quickly proceeded to the front yard.
This time, not only Long Xuanmo came, but also Nangong Lingfei and Luo Jingrui, and there was also a little girl about six or seven years old.
