“Big Brother All You, what’s wrong?” Ah Yu watched as her brothers quarreled again. She turned around to talk to Qin Huai and saw him talking to Chi Jia.

Qin Huai shook his head and said to Ah Yu, “It’s still early. Why don’t we go see the lighthouse together?”

The lighthouse was built with all kinds of exquisite lamps into the shape of a tower. When placed at the door of the house, it could attract other tourists.

Initially, Qin Huai planned to join in, but he was the top scorer this year and was the center of attention. He did not want to attract too much attention, so he gave up.

No matter how much Duke Yong wanted to take the opportunity to show off, he clearly refused.

No matter how his grandfather threw a tantrum, he refused to relent.

“All, I almost forgot. We won so many lights today. Why don’t we build a small lighthouse too? We’re the only ones who can see the lanterns if we hang them in the courtyard. With the lighthouse, everyone can come and take a look,” Ah Yu said.

Qin Huai nodded without hesitation. “Alright, let’s go to my residence.”

His residence was next to the Wang Family.

“Alright.”

When they heard that they were going to build a lighthouse, everyone carried their lanterns and walked towards the Qin Family next door in twos and threes. They directly decided that the lighthouse would be built in the aisle between the two families.

“There are too few lanterns. Let’s go, Little Brothers. Follow Big Brother to win more lanterns!” Wang Erlang waved his hand and was about to bring the others away.

Jiang Wujing looked at her childish husband and couldn’t help but laugh. In the end, she laughed too much and suddenly bent down, holding her chest and vomiting.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Did you eat something wrong?” When Wang Erlang heard Jiang Wujing’s uncomfortable voice, he pushed his brothers behind him away and ran to her. He asked repeatedly, “Or did you eat too much?”

Jiang Wujing wanted to speak, but she felt even more helpless and nauseous. She could only roll her eyes at Wang Erlang.

When Ah Yu saw this scene, she remembered that the elf had said that her second sister-in-law was pregnant!

The elf’s scan would not be wrong, so Second Sister-in-law must be pregnant. Seeing that Wang Erlang was still trying his best to pat Jiang Wujing’s back, she hurriedly said, “Second Brother, stop patting her. Coincidentally, Doctor Wen is still here. Let him take Second Sister-in-law’s pulse.”

“All, yes, yes, yes. I almost forgot.” Wang Erlang could not be bothered to pretend to be a dignified elder brother. He rushed into the house. Halfway through, he remembered that Doctor Wen was not at home, but at Enduring Tranquility Nursery. He turned a corner and ran out of the courtyard.

“Husband, slow down. I’m fine.” Jiang Wujing hurriedly called out to him.

“Wait for me to come back!” After Wang Erlang shouted, he did not stop running. He only hated himself for not mastering his movement technique properly.

Behind him, Wang Erlang’s new servant chased after him and shouted, “Young Master Zifeng, take the carriage!”

Two hours later, Doctor Wen walked out of Wang Erlang’s room, followed by the dizzy Wang Erlang.

Ah Yu was the first to ask, “Doctor Wen, is my Second Sister-in-law alright?”

“She’s fine. It’s just that she’s more than a month pregnant. I’ve already told your Second Brother. He should know.” Doctor Wen smiled and said, “All Yu, congratulations. You’ll be an Auntie in the future.”

Wei Qianying walked forward with a smile and handed a plain-colored purse to Doctor Wen. “Thank you for making this trip, Doctor. It’s been hard on you.”

This was a happy occasion. Doctor Wen naturally did not refuse and accepted it with a smile.

Ah Yu also smiled.

While this group of people went to talk to Wang Erlang, Ah Yu hurriedly followed Doctor Wen and asked him, “Doctor Wen, 1 wonder if that person from the nursery—”

“It’s nothing serious. He just drank too much and fainted. I’ll go take a look tomorrow when he wakes up.” Doctor Wen wrote a prescription under the light in the courtyard and handed it to Ah Yu. “I didn’t bring a first-aid kit when I went out today. Get someone to go to the pharmacy tomorrow to get the medicine according to this prescription and make your sister-in-law a simple nourishing soup. There’s no need for a huge nourishment. These are all prescriptions for her food requirements. Your Second Brother should know the rest.”

“I understand. Thank you, Doctor Wen.”

“There’s no need to thank me.”

Wenwen had also followed Doctor Wen over. She originally thought that something had happened to someone here, but now that she saw that it was a happy occasion, she was naturally happy.

Before leaving, Wenwen heard about Wang Sanlang and asked curiously, “What does the Imperial Attendant’s Office do? Why do you need to help speak to the foreign envoys? Are they different from us?”

Wenwen had only lived in Nanhe Town in the past. Even though she was in Wanning City now, she did not interact much with outsiders. The people in Wanning City basically spoke the official language. Although many of them had foreign accents, they could still understand each other. She did not understand why someone would need others to interpret their words.

“It’s normal for people from different countries to speak different languages.” Seeing that Wenwen still did not understand, Ah Yu said simply, “The Imperial Attendant’s Office is responsible for ceremonial and diplomatic affairs involving foreign envoys and visitors. It plays a crucial role in dealing with foreign dignitaries, conducting negotiations, and managing diplomatic events. Compared to communicating in languages with people from other countries, they need specialized talents to take over. An interpreter specializes in language reception.”

“I understand now.” Wenwen seemed to be deep in thought. “According to this, being an interpreter is quite interesting. I wonder if they recruit women. If they do, I want to try. Because I heard in the past that those officials who receive envoys will also travel to other countries in the future. It’s very interesting.”

Ah Yu: “I don’t know, but if you want to, you can try. In any case, you’ll fail at most, and there won’t be any losses.”

“Actually, I don’t really want to go to many places. 1 just want to go to the other side of the sea to take a look. Ah Yu, do you know? After I came to Wanning City, I found out what Father and Mother meant when they said that there are mountains beyond the mountains. I also heard that our Great Chang is facing the sea. The sea is boundless water. I’ve never seen it before, but I can imagine it. It’s like how ants would see the Southern River, right? I want to know what’s on the other side of the sea.”

“Wenwen, let’s go back,” Doctor Wen called out to her from afar.

“Oh, I’m coming!” Wenwen waved at Ah Yu. “Ah Yu, I’ll come and talk to you next time. 1’11 leave first.”

After Wenwen left, Wang Erlang and Wang Sanlang were surrounded by their own crowd. However, All Yu did not join in the fun. Instead, she sat on the stone stool in the courtyard in a daze.

Seeing her like this, Qin Huai asked her, “What did you think of?”

“I’m thinking about what’s on the other side of the sea. Big Sister Wenwen must think that the sea is not endless, so she said that. I think so too.” Ah Yu rubbed her forehead, her eyes filled with confusion. “I don’t know if it’s because I ate crabs and talked about seafood, but whenever the sea is mentioned, I always have an urge to go to the sea to take a look because I feel that 1’11 definitely go there someday..”
