98 The state of the world

Before the Lantern Festival, the streets of Lingzhou Mansion are more and more lively day by day, the couplets and door gods posted by each family before the New Year have not been blown by the cold wind, and then they have hung out a string of red and bright lanterns, the fresh and gorgeous colors of various strange shapes, the streets are dressed up very lively and gorgeous. (The best experience of reading novels is all in [])

In front of the steamed bun shop, the mother-in-law of the Zhang family put a basket of hot steamed buns that had just come out of the pot into a cloth pocket and shook her head, "Hey, her Aunt Li, your daughter-in-law is about to be confined, right?

The mother-in-law of the Li family shook her head, "What is the rare thing, I am only busy feeding the livestock and serving the old man all day long, how do I know what major events are circulating recently?"

"Hey, this is really a big deal--the news from the Liufu Mansion is about to spread throughout the entire Lingzhou Mansion. ”

"Liufu? is the old man Liu Dingmao Liu, who only gave birth to a daughter but not a son, and is almost fifty years old and has no descendants? Didn't he just add a white and fat healthy brother to his family? It was the aunt who gave birth to it, and now we all care about it, when this aunt is too dependent on the great merit of giving birth to a son, climb into the seat of the wife of the main house, and pull the eldest lady down. ”

The mother-in-law of the Zhang family shook her head, "You, you, you know that the spread of these short housework of the east and west families, I tell you, these parents are not interesting for a long time - what I heard here today is a serious matter, there is a strange woman in Liufu, that is, the child daughter-in-law married by that stupid brother, she is a mute, she can't speak, her ears can't hear, but suddenly one day she can speak!"

The mother-in-law of the Li family laughed exaggeratedly, picked up a hot steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, the steamed bun was stuffed, her speech was blurred, and she looked disdainful, "Dumb talk? This is not strange, I saw a case in my mother's house when I was a child, I was deaf and dumb, and I was suddenly able to speak." ”

Mrs. Zhang was angry that she was greedy. According to the rules of the trading house on the street, this hot steamed bun is eaten for nothing if it is eaten in the stomach, not counting money, but this Mrs. Li took advantage of her own steamed bun. She ignored her and turned to greet another customer.

"His sister-in-law of the Zhang family, do you know, a strange thing happened in our Lingzhou Mansion recently!" It was another woman, but she didn't buy steamed buns. Holding a few round dry cakes in his hand, he leaned in front of the steamed bun shop, "Liufu has a master of midwifery, who is more clever than Wang Qiaoshou, and he can even save the birth of a difficult birth, and he will not tear the ****, let alone fall into the postpartum wind." He is truly a man of God!"

The mother-in-law of the Li family sneered, "It's really so amazing, you didn't see it with your own eyes, and it's not a rumor spreading everywhere......

Without saying a word, a young man in coarse cloth came running from afar. "Mother, mother, go back quickly, my daughter-in-law is afraid that she is going to give birth--her stomach hurts so much-"

Where is the mother-in-law of the Li family still in the mood to gossip, and the soles of her feet are beating drums and leaving in a hurry.

The king blacksmith took a red-hot iron plate out of the furnace, beat it, quenched it, beat it again, calcined it again, and quenched it again...... Gradually, the size of an axe became apparent.

Next to a wall. There was a woman's moan from the earthen house, and the moaning was continuous, intermittent, high and low.

"Mother-" Blacksmith Wang couldn't help but shout. "Why don't you go and ask Wang Qiaoshou, Jiao Niang is the first child, she is old, and her body is not good, in case ......"

"Shut your unlucky mouth!" cried out a heavy old woman, overpowering the king's blacksmith. "It is our woman's business for women to give birth to babies, how can there be any reason for your big man to intervene!"

The blacksmith could only bury his head and continue to beat, and the sound of ding-ding-dong forging was endless.

The woman's moans pierced through the walls, echoing in her ears all the time.

The blacksmith pricked up his ears and listened, he hadn't been born yet, and when he heard the sound, the woman was in a lot of pain, and she was simply dead and alive.

"Mother, even if Wang Qiao's hands are expensive, we can't afford to invite them, then I'll hire a cheaper midwife, I'm really worried about Jiao Niang's body!"

"Wang Gui, you are really a fool, a woman gives birth to a baby, that's a matter of ripe melons, Jiao Niang is not born yet, that time has not come, what are you in a hurry, I gave birth to you for three days and three nights, and it was not the same birth?

The woman's screams became more and more painful.

When-when-when-when-the sound of striking iron became extremely heavy.

In a deep alley on the west side of the street, a little daughter-in-law hung water from the mouth of the well with a high belly, and the lady next door walked by, her eyes rubbing her belly, "Hey, are you twins, why do you see this belly getting higher and higher day by day?"

The little daughter-in-law touched her stomach and smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know yet, but my mother-in-law also said that it seems to be bigger than the average belly." ”

"Hey, I can tell you good news," the eldest lady approached the door, "Recently, there have been rumors in Lingzhou Mansion that Liufu is a famous midwife, who is a fairy hand, and it is more magical than Wang Qiaoshou, and it is guaranteed to help you give birth to the child smoothly." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the little daughter-in-law's eyes, "Really? Is there really such a good midwife? Or is it from Liufu? I wonder if people are willing to come out to deliver babies like us? Now we can't even invite someone like Wang Qiaoshou." ”

The eldest lady shook her head and sighed, "It's hard to say, Liufu is a big family, we are just a small family." ”

Sighed all the way and left.

***

"What? Is she a child bride? Not yet old enough to live in a round house? Isn't she still a little girl? How can a child deliver a baby to a woman? You must have heard it wrong, people nowadays like to spread rumors everywhere when they are full and have nothing to do, I resolutely don't believe it!"

On the east side of the street, in the Wang's teahouse, it is crowded with people from three religions and nine streams, people who drink tea, gamble on small money, brag, quarrel, blow their beards and stare at them, up to sixty or seventy years old, down to the hairy young men who have just come out of a circle of tender hair on their lips, everyone has nothing to do and gathers here to find fun.

An old man in his sixties smiled and stroked his beard, glared at a young man, shook his head, and resolutely disagreed.

The young man was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he patted his chest and swore to the sky, saying that what he heard was absolutely right, not the unfounded gossip heard on the road, but his sister-in-law was on an errand in Liufu, which was true, and his sister-in-law saw it with her own eyes.

"Hehe, hahaha, there are all kinds of strange things these days, the eleven or twelve-year-old girl is still a daughter, she will deliver babies for others, and she is still a master, haha, I said Xu Xiaoguan'er, your cowhide is a little suspenseful, right? Be careful to let the state government officials hear that they are looking for you to collect the cowhide taxβ€”β€”"

Someone laughed so hard that the tea they had just drunk spurted out of their noses.

The young man was so laughed that his face was red, his eyes were red, he twisted his ass and turned all over the ground, in the face of such strong doubts from everyone, he himself couldn't believe it, although his sister-in-law never lied, but this time this time this time it was too outrageous, right?

"Kidnapping? What a strange story for the agesβ€”"

In the yamen of Qingzhou Mansion, the lord of the state government greeted Bai Yulin, who came to visit with a famous post, with a smile on his mouth, and the lord of the state government frowned, "What kind of thief is so bold, don't they ask what kind of family the Bai family is in Qingzhou Mansion, what is the identity of Bai Gongzi, and they dare to kidnap the ticket?

Bai Yulin clenched his fists again and again, he always knew that he had always known that he was indulging in the fat and rice piles and enjoying the good days of fine clothes and jade food, and he didn't know how to deal with the people in the government, so he could only smile and repeat thank you repeatedly.

"Since it is General Bai Lao who personally sent someone to ask for the door, Xia Guan must treat it as his own matter, please go home to tell General Bai Lao and relax and wait, Xia Guan will immediately inform the Liangzhou Mansion, we will work together to solve the case, do our best to rescue Bai Gongzi, and send General Bai to the door with all his beards. ”

The words were so polite, and the promise was so satisfying, Bai Yulin felt relieved, and on the way home, he couldn't help but hum a fragrant little song while sitting in the carriage.
