Chapter 141: Gambling and Bo
It was the night when I woke up from my slumber, the house was dim candlelight, Mama Xia was arranged to Qian's side and had not come back, Aster was not in the house, Xu was busy working, and there was only Yinzhen who was sitting next to her with a frown and an anxious face.
Seeing him looking at me with a gloomy face, my first reaction was to worry that something had happened to Qian and the child, and then blurted out, "Are Sister Qian and the child okay?"
"They're all right, now you should be worried about yourself. Yinzhen's voice was slow, and he could hear the blame and concern in his tone.
I reached out and stroked my lower abdomen, knowing that the child in my belly was fine, and my heart was calm, and I said with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just tired." Have you ever been to see Sister Qian and the child?"
"After reading it, the Qian family is very weak, and Mama Xia is taking care of her. I heard that you don't worry about other people, so let Su Peisheng choose a reliable grandma to come over. The baby looked fine and had already been fed by the wet nurse when I went. Yin Zhen paused at this point and held my hand: "I heard that if you hadn't rescued this child, I would have been born with a fear, no matter what, I have to thank you." ”
"What do you thank me for, their mother and son are fine. Sister Qian and I are like family, and her children are like my children, not only for you, but also for myself. I stroked my lower abdomen, a smile on my face with a little relief.
"But have you ever thought about yourself? The doctor said that you had cold symptoms before, qi and blood deficiency, and then had a miscarriage, and some injuries to your body, although later because of reasonable recuperation, there is no big problem, but now there is less than three months to give birth, so after tiredness, the fetal gas will be moved, I am afraid that when you give birth, there will be obstacles, so you have to be extra careful in the next few months. Yin Zhen read the words of the imperial doctor with all concerns.
I looked at my bulging lower abdomen, caressed it gently, and said, "This child hasn't caused me much trouble since I was pregnant, and I'm sure he won't let me toss too much when the time comes, but there's something I want to ask you for." ”
"What's the matter?" asked Yinzhen.
"This Wen Po was invited by Fu Jin from the palace, I look good, I want to let her come to deliver the baby when I am about to give birth, okay?" I said quietly.
"Of course you can, I originally thought that the Qian family was in front of the delivery, if the Wen Po she used was a good one, I would be able to feel at ease when you gave birth. "Yinzhen complied with my request.
"Also, in addition to adding a reliable mother to Sister Qian, I don't need to add another person in this hospital, as for the wet nurse, since Sister Qian is weak and needs to recuperate, then use it first, I don't have to arrange it here, my child just needs to milk it himself." ”
"This is not in accordance with the rules, you don't want to add it, but the nurse can't be less. As for whether you feed the child yourself or hand it over to the nurse, I don't care about this, you just look at it, how about it?" Yinzhen objected at first, but seeing that I looked displeased, he changed his tone and said.
"Well, you have your rules, I have my rules, in short, people naturally have to choose safely, and you must listen to me what to do after you come in. I said.
"That's okay, anyway, I don't ask much about the affairs of the inner courtyard, just look at the arrangements for the affairs of your courtyard. Yinzhen said.
Hearing him answer the request, I breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered what to do next.
"Why did you suddenly ask to enter the delivery room, and insisted on personally handling everything that followed, and now you are so cautious, do you feel that Qian's dystocia is a little strange, so you are worried that someone will do something to fake others?"
"Not really, I was just worried at first, but then the situation was a bit chaotic, and I couldn't say if there was a problem, so I decided to deal with it myself just in case. "I didn't hide my worries, but I didn't express my suspicions about the Steady Po and the Ulanala clan. I bet that if I get it right, I may have unexpected gains.
"I'll let people check on this, in short, the Qian family can keep herself and her children because of you, and she has inherited your kindness. Yinzhen said.
"You don't have to say a word of gratitude all the time. It's not easy for Sister Qian and this child, just take care of it if you're fine. She is like my own sister, and now this child is rescued by me, and the feelings are even more different, you are good to her and good to me, our sisters are not separated from each other, and these two children will also take care of each other in the future. Although the Heavenly Family is ruthless, I still hope that the two brothers can get along with you and the Thirteenth Master in the future, and don't fight all day long. "I pulled Yinzhen's hand to his stomach and let him feel the activities of the little life in his belly.
Yin Zhen's face showed a look of relief, and said: "This child will definitely be raised very well by you, if the children of the Qian family can assist him well, the two brothers will definitely be able to achieve a career together." ”
"No, if my child is a boy, he is a younger brother, and it must be a younger brother assisting his elder brother, and I will not let him fight with his brother or anything. I interrupted Yinzhen's words and said, "What's more, you will have other heirs, don't say a lot of things so early." ”
Yin Zhen patted my hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to say more about this, take care of it, no matter what happens in the future, you and the Qian family will not be treated badly." ”
I nodded, smiled and said, "Let's think of a name for Sister Qian's child."
"This child was born dangerously, and it is not appropriate to take an official name immediately, for fear that I can't afford to lose it, so I think I will take a small name first, and then set an official name when he is older. So I thought about the danger of the child's birth, and most of the children in this house died early, I hope that the two of you can be safe, so I plan to let the child's nickname be Yuanshou, which means a happy life. When Yinzhen thought about it, he said the nickname of the Qian child.
"It's a good name. "Although I am very anxious to know whether the Qian family's child will be the one in the future, I also have to taboo Yinzhen's statement, after all, the princes and heirs of the Qing Dynasty have the habit of taking nicknames and blessings.
After talking about the conversation, I excused myself to be a little tired and asked Yinzhen to rest earlier, but Yinzhen didn't refuse, got up and left.
After a while, Xiao Shunzi came to report that Yinzhen had gone to the courtyard of the Wulanala clan, and he didn't know what was going on.
I don't know why Yinzhen went to the courtyard of the Wulanala clan, Yinzhen was suspicious, maybe it was an ordinary inquiry, or he noticed that something was wrong, but I never told Yinzhen of my suspicions, just because it was just my guess that Wenpo had a problem, and there was no evidence that the Wulanala clan did something in it. Second, I also have a longer-term plan, and I can't tear my face with the Ulanala clan at this time.
I lay quietly on the bed, thinking about every detail of Qian's labor, trying to determine whether the Ulanala clan really did something or if my impatience wronged her. After thinking about it, I still felt that there was something strange in it, but how many hands and feet the Ulanala clan had moved, and I still needed to personally probe her tone, and only by figuring out whether the Ulanala clan was reliable and stable, could I continue to make plans for the next step.
The body was originally just fainting because she was too tired, and it was okay to recuperate for a day and a night, and the next day I went to see Qian's and found that although she still looked pale and weak because of the lack of blood and qi, it was okay. The milk is good, according to my instructions to her before giving birth, I personally began to feed Xiao Yuanshou after the milk was raised, and the nurse just made some ordinary supplements for the child.
I took advantage of Qian's breastfeeding and looked at the nurse who was waiting next to me. The nurse was a woman in her twenties, with a plump body, a rich face, and a calm eyebrows and eyes. casually asked about the reason for her family background, only to know that she was also a clothed slave under the inlaid white flag, and later married a handyman in the front yard, and there was already a child in the family, and later gave birth to another, but the child was gone within a few days of birth, Su Peisheng considered that her man had been a deacon in the house for many years and was quite reliable, so he let her come over.
Thinking that Su Peisheng had chosen it, he didn't ask any more questions, and after a few words of greeting with the Qian family, he left the courtyard and went to the side of the Wulanala clan.
Some things are always left in your heart and you don't understand them, and you will feel that you should be in the diaphragm. Looking at the Wulanala clan with a calm face, I pondered for a moment before I spoke: "Sister Qian has successfully given birth to an heir now, can Sister Fujin feel happy?"
The Wulanala clan took a sip and said with a smile: "Naturally happy, why does Sister Geng ask like this?"
"I'm just thinking that if something happens to Sister Qian at that time, the child will be handed over to my sister to raise, and my sister doesn't have to worry about the heir, but it's a pity that I have intervened in many things, and my sister is afraid that she will have a grudge in her heart......" I had a smile on my face, but my voice was clear and sharp.
Wulanala's hand holding the cup paused slightly, the smile disappeared from his lips, he slowly put down the teacup with a gloomy face, raised his eyes to look at me for a moment, and suddenly chuckled, and said: "Sister Geng is really a bold and careful person, but have you ever thought that it would be too abrupt and reckless to ask about this matter so bluntly?"
"It's really abrupt, but I don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, you and I are still allies at the moment, so why beat around the bush, since I dare to come here and speak out, naturally I have prepared and planned, Sister Fujin understands in her heart, of course, it will not let me have any damage, and I will follow the Li family's wishes. I replied with a light smile.
"If I say yes, what will happen to my sister? If not, what will happen?"
I thought about it for a while and chuckled: "If not, then naturally I have to make a compensatory to Sister Fujin." If that's what I think...... My sister is Fu Jin, what can I do if I am humble, but Sister Fu Jin really has this intention, and it is also reasonable to expect, now the Qian family and the child's mother and son are safe, which shows that my sister has good thoughts, but she is not really ruthless, I and the Qian family should be grateful, and dare not complain. It's just that on the Li family's side, my sisters now have children by their side, and they have no intention of participating in the rights and wrongs of the mansion, so they naturally accompany her for a crime, obey her anger, no longer fight with her, and live their lives in peace. If you want to come to him to attack the lord in the future, it will not be a big problem for us to lead the heirs to escape from the mansion. Sister Fujin thinks this is the truth?"
"Looks like you've thought every step through?" replied to Ulanala after listening to what I said.
"If you have no regrets, you should naturally be cautious. I said.
"Well, since you have said this, it can be seen that you have already planned to break the boat. I'll be honest with you, too. In fact, after Qian's entry into the delivery room, Mrs. Wen looked at Qian's fetal position and found that her fetal position was not correct, and I am afraid that there will be signs of dystocia. I thought at that time that if the child died, the Qian family would be equivalent to a waste chess, but if the Qian family died, you also planned to push the child out anyway, then I had an heir, and if I joined forces with you, the odds of winning would be greater than one more Qian family. So for the sake of insurance, I did say to Wen Po that if there is anything wrong with the Qian family, then just protect the child. At that time, Wen Po saw that she still didn't do anything after a few hours of induced labor, and she did have the idea of forcibly giving birth and leaving only the child, but at that time you insisted on going in, and I also asked that Wen Po not to act rashly, so as not to hurt the harmony between you and me, and let Li benefit when the time comes. I didn't expect you to really save Qian and the child. ”
The Ulanala clan said frankly, and said at the end: "The Qian clan is dispensable to me, but I value you very much. You have always treated the Qian family differently, how could I risk killing her against you. My intentions are merely a last resort, and if you are genuinely resentful, I have no intention of arguing. ”
"But that Wen Po knew that the situation of the Qian family at that time was very likely to have a blood collapse, why did she still let the maid give the Qian family ginseng tablets?" I asked rhetorically while judging the truth of Wulanala's words.
"Impossible, if the Qian family was already safe at that time, then Wen Po would definitely not take the risk to frame the Qian family. So that ginseng piece can't be let by the maid by Wen Po. Ulanala categorically denied it.
I looked at the Wulanala clan, secretly thinking that since she admitted that she had the intention of leaving her mother and child, she didn't have to deny this detail at all, if what she said was true, then there was really a problem with the maid who gave the ginseng piece to the Qian family.
"Well, I believe you. Your intentions are not wrong, but they should not be used on the Qian family. If there is really anything wrong with the Qian family, even if I risk my life, I will never hand over her children to anyone in this house to raise except me. You don't need to doubt it, I can do it if I can say it. I looked at Ulanara and said this calmly.
"I never doubted it, otherwise I wouldn't have been so scrupling and valued by you. Ulanara smiled.
"But your idea of Qian can be used on me. I changed my words and said, "I can save the Qian family, but I can't save myself, I don't know what will happen when I give birth, so I beg you to promise me that you don't have to care about my life or death when the time comes, just keep my child and raise him." But at the same time that I give my life and children to you, you must also promise me that as long as you live one day, you must help me take care of Qian and her children. Do you agree?" I said, standing up, kneeling slowly in my chair.
Ulanala was silent, she stood up and walked in front of me for a long time without speaking, and after a while she bent down to help me up, took my hand and said, "I really didn't see the wrong person, since you can exchange your life with the child for the sake of Qian and her child, I believe that you will definitely not break the promise between you and me." That's it, no matter what, I hope that you can also be safe with your mother and son, otherwise with my personal strength, even if I have an heir, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with someone like the Li family. ”
"I will naturally do what I promised, and I hope that what Sister Fujin promised will be the same as what she promised. "For the words of the Ulanala clan, I just bowed my head and at the same time secretly rejoiced that I had once again won a more solid guarantee and a lot of bargaining chips. (To be continued.) )
