Song Yiyan was so excited that she couldn’t sleep. Even with her eyes open, she could see the golden koi fish.

Ji Xing sang a lullaby and coaxed her to sleep after a long time.

The next morning, Song Yiyan told her family about her dream.

Only Song Chen was at home, he couldn’t stop smiling. “Sure, koi fish are an auspicious sign. My dear great-grandchild must be a lucky star.”

“Master, I heard that dreaming of fish in a fetal dream is a good sign. Miss Yanyan must have a fat boy in her stomach.” Auntie Liu smiled as she scooped rice for him.

Ji Xing asked, “Why can’t it be a daughter?”

Before the baby was born, they would not think about the baby’s gender. However, he wanted a daughter, a daughter as beautiful as Yanyan.

“Yes, anything is possible.” Song Chen nodded in agreement. “It’s good to have a girl, a girl is obedient and sensible. Our Song family has always had more yang than yin, it’s better to have a daughter.”

Aunt Liu quickly corrected herself. “Old General, Young Master, you’re right. It might not be true. She might be a cute girl, as beautiful as Miss Yanyan.”

However, the saying that had been passed down in China for thousands of years was that if one dreamed of fish, the child would be a son.

Miss Yanyan’s dream was different from that of ordinary people. Not to mention the koi fish, but it was a shining golden koi fish. Whether it was a boy or a girl, they were definitely dragons and phoenixes among men!

“Don’t say anything.” Song Yiyan glanced at Ji Xing and Song Chen. “If it were my son, he would be so sad to hear you say that.”

“The boy is thick-skinned and won’t be sad,” Song Chen added.

Ji Xing nodded in agreement. His grandfather was right, but Song Yiyan glared at him and said seriously, “A son is good too.”

Song Yiyan was an Onmyoji herself, so she naturally knew what it meant to dream of koi fish. However, this might not be accurate. It might be a daughter!

“I heard that the daughter of the Huo family is pregnant with a girl.” Song Chen put down his chopsticks and smiled at Song Yiyan. “If our daughter has a son, they can get engaged!”

Song Yiyan looked at her grandfather’s happy expression and bit her chopsticks. “Grandpa, don’t you hate the Huo family?”

“Is that the Huo family? Their child’s surname is Jun.” Song Chen argued, “And I think that the daughter of the Huo family is not bad, she’s sensible and smart. Grandpa likes her a lot, and the child she gives birth to won’t be bad.”

Just look at Xiaoqi. He was a sensible and cute little guy.

It didn’t matter if there was a grudge or not. They were already so old, so such a small matter was nothing. They couldn’t wait to coax the child, who would be in the mood to be angry?

“How do you know that the baby is a girl?” Song Yiyan was puzzled. Sheng Sheng wouldn’t do a gender test, let alone Jun Shiyan.

“Old Huo said it,” Song Chen said matter-of-factly, as if he knew everything. “He knows what he wants to know.”

“You said that her grandfather asked the doctor?” Song Yiyan really didn’t know this, this was too much. She looked at Song Chen seriously. “You’re not allowed to do this, okay?”

If Sheng Sheng found out, she would definitely be angry. Even if the old man wanted a granddaughter, how could he be so impatient? What if he found out that it was a boy? He didn’t want him anymore!

“I know. How can I be like Old Huo? I definitely won’t ask, I like both boys and girls.” Song Chen became serious.

“Who else in the Huo family knows?” Song Yiyan asked.

Song Chen muttered, “How would I know? I’m not from the Huo family, don’t tell that daughter of the Huo family about this.”

Song Yiyan said, “I’m not that free.”

Gender identification was not a big deal. Actually, it did not matter if she knew.

Old Master Huo definitely wanted a granddaughter. After all, everyone in the family was a boy, and there was no girl. It was obvious from how much he doted on Sheng Sheng.

Old Master Huo had so many sons and grandsons, and he even had a few great-grandchildren. He didn’t care about the rest and didn’t even coax them, he just chased after Xiaoqi every day.

Song Yiyan said, “You just want to know if it’s a girl or a boy!”

Song Chen shook his head and said guiltily, “I don’t want to know, no!”

“If you want to know, just say so.” Song Yiyan burst out laughing. “I want to know too.”

Song Chen’s eyes lit up with excitement, but he was still skeptical. “Then let’s go to the hospital to take a look after a while.”

The country’s rules prohibited the identification of the fetus’s gender because they were afraid of miscarriage and abortion.

Their family was different. Whether it was a boy or a girl, they were all treasures of the Song family.

Song Yiyan nodded. “Okay!”

She wanted to see if this dream was accurate. If she dreamed of a carp, it must be a son? It was all feudal superstition!

Ji Xing let out a low cough and smiled at Song Yiyan. “After talking so much, do you think it’s a boy or a girl?”

Song Yiyan looked at her stomach and was very sure. “I think it’s a girl!”

Ji Xing looked at Song Chen. “How about Grandpa?”

Song Chen said, “I think it’s a girl too.”

Ji Xing said, “Add my vote.”

Aunt Liu, who was standing at the side, raised her hand silently. “Can I vote?”

Song Chen nodded. “Speak.”

Aunt Liu smiled. “I think Miss Yanyan is pregnant with a boy.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the old general looked over with a death stare and she trembled in fear. “I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look. Do you still want more food, old general?”

Everyone said that fetal dreams were very accurate. Anyway, she was not very cultured and believed in such things.

However, the Song family wanted a girl. After all, in the past few generations, Miss Yanyan was the only daughter. It was everyone’s wish to have a cute daughter.

“Auntie Liu, if you’re wrong, I’ll punish you to make a month’s cake for me. You’re not allowed to make a repeat.” Song Yiyan loved to eat the cakes made by Auntie Liu.

It was especially delicious, it was even more delicious than the ones in cake shops outside. It was the kind that would get her addicted after eating it.

“If I’m right?” Aunt Liu asked weakly.

“I’ll give you an additional two years of salary at the end of the year,” Song Chen promised.

Aunt Liu was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling. “Thank you, Old General. Thank you, Miss Yanyan. Thank you, Young Master.”

All of them who worked in the Song family had high salaries, did not have much work, and their treatment was good. Many people could not get a job no matter how hard they tried.

The Song family was different from the other noble families. They treated their servants well and did not put on any airs, it was comfortable to work here.

“Then, Grandpa, what reward do I get?” Song Yiyan looked at Song Chen. “Money, money, give me money as a reward for my hard work!”

“What do you want?” Song Chen thought for a moment and made up his mind. “Can I give you my grandfather’s merit badge to keep?”
