11 folded plums

Steward Liu followed closely behind him and shouted: "The blood in the delivery room is heavy, you must not go in-your body and bones are important-"

But Liu Dingmao seemed to be suddenly more than ten years younger, and he had already rushed into the door of Mu Fengju with big strides, and was so shocked that the maids and servants retreated on both sides, but the wives and aunts were not afraid, and they smiled at him in unison after they had discussed: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, it is a son, and the mother and son are safe." ”

Liu Dingmao didn't look at anyone, and as soon as he entered the door, his eyes were aimed at the small swaddling clothes in the bed.

A nurse had already breastfed the baby, and the little one had eaten a full meal, stopped crying, and slept sweetly.

At this time, he lifted the corner of the small quilt, revealing a small ruddy face, with wrinkled facial features, in fact, he really couldn't see what it looked like, Master Liu slowly shoveled down the quilt, until the two red calves were exposed, he looked down and saw a small meat cube between the two tender legs, and he was so happy that he lowered his head and rubbed it with a long beard, and the child was woken up, wow cried, the cry was loud, with a sweet **.

Master Liu raised his head, tears flowed down his face, and muttered: "Ancestors bless, ancestors bless, my Liu family finally has a successor - I want to go to the ancestral hall immediately, go to inform the ancestors and ancestors, and tell my parents, I Liu Dingmao finally has a queen!"

As soon as he got up, he made a grunt, and a body on the side of the kang fell down and slid softly down the edge of the kang.

At the same time, a figure rushed in like a whirlwind at the door, knelt on the ground, and pulled up while holding the fallen body, while crying mournfully, calling the little grandmother in his mouth.

The person who cried was the bluegrass who followed the dumb aunt all the way, but the dumb aunt entered the delivery room, and the bluegrass didn't dare to enter, and kept guarding the door secretly anxious.

There was a commotion in the house.

Old Man Liu looked surprised, "Who is this? Where did the child come from?"

When he saw her face clearly, his face suddenly became a little complicated, "Brother Wan's daughter-in-law, why is she here?"

It was a dumb aunt, and she passed out again.

Only then did everyone suddenly remember that this little child's daughter-in-law, since the child landed safely, everyone's eyes only revolved around this precious child, and the mother's wife and wife were lying there and almost no one cared.

But this dumb aunt, while continuing to caress and press the mother's belly, while sticking the blood with straw paper cotton, slowly controlling a number of blood clots from the stomach, until a large placenta is discharged, she carefully examined the placenta to see that it is intact, nothing is wrong, and then she wants to get up, who knows that she fell headlong.

The eighth aunt did not dislike the blood of the dumb aunt's body and hands, and personally helped Lancao pick up the dumb aunt and put it flat on the side of the kang, Lancao cried and shouted to the little grandmother in a panic, but the dumb aunt just didn't wake up, and even fainted again.

The eighth aunt rushed up and pinched the human acupoint, and with a hard effort, the dumb aunt woke up slowly, slowly opened a pair of extremely tired eyes, only glanced at the blue grass, and struggled to climb up, after all, she was so weak that she couldn't get up.

The fourth aunt is too fast-talking, and she has long told Liu Dingmao that the life of the eighth aunt and the mother and son was saved by this child daughter-in-law, and it was already not saved, but this girl broke in and made her own opinions, and after some tossing, she tossed out a big baby from the belly of the ninth aunt.

A touch of surprise flashed across Liu Dingmao's face, and he had to take a serious look at this little mute who had been married in three copper coins, was it true? She would deliver a baby? Will she deliver a small child? Or is she a woman with a difficult birth who was judged hopeless by the doctor and the midwife at the same time?

Is it possible?

His puzzled gaze turned to the eldest lady, and then moved to the second aunt, the third aunt...... Everyone and the woman stood silently.

Looking at Aunt Jiu's wife under the quilt again, she fell asleep in a daze, looking exhausted, and even had a slight low-grade fever.

The famous midwife, the king, with a few midwives with her skillful hands, trembled and hid aside as if she had committed a great sin, not daring to come and wait for the reward.

Liu Dingmao's gaze finally returned to the dumb aunt, and the joy in his voice had calmed down, "You, will deliver the baby?"

The dumb aunt naturally didn't know that she was asking her, she was lying quietly by the kang, her face was like a blank piece of paper, and she was even weaker than the ninth aunt who had just given birth.

"Dumb aunt, what about you, did you save Wan Jiao's mother and son?" he asked again.

Chen suddenly interjected: "Oh, master, have you forgotten that she is a mute? I can't speak, I can't hear her! Just now, the fourth sister was laughing, where will her child give birth? Maybe seeing that there are many people here, she came to join in the fun, can she not make a mess here, I will chant Buddhism! It was the sisters who worked together to help, plus Mr. Xie prescribed ginseng soup to hang his life, and these sisters-in-law who delivered the babies did their best to help the ninth sister give birth safely. In the final analysis, it is the blessing of the ancestors of the Liu family, and it is the blessing of you, my lord, and we are all blessed by you. ”

The dumb aunt slowly opened her eyes, her eyes swept a blank glance at the middle-aged man in front of her, she didn't seem to remember who this man was, she seemed to be completely outside the world in front of her, slowly got up from the kang, slipped off the kang, and trembled to the door holding Lancao's hand.

Lancao's eyes were full of tears, extremely aggrieved, Aunt Jiu's child was obviously picked up by the little grandmother, which was clearly seen by the mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were gathered at the door, these words had been spread all over the house, how did they get to the eldest lady, and with a simple word, it became a child's nonsense, no credit, no hard work, and the poor master was a mute, unable to speak and discerning, only at the mercy of others.

Chen watched the two little figures go out, and suddenly remembered that the dead baby was still resting on the table, so he asked the master if he wanted to take a look, Liu Dingmao was happy to stay by Aunt Jiu's pillow, and now Jiao'er Ai Concubine is alive by his side, where does he still have the heart to look at the dead child, wave his hand, and call Haosheng to take it out and burn it.

This matter is arranged by the housekeeper's wife.

Lancao helped the dumb aunt out of Mufengju, didn't dare to walk quickly, slowly walked along the bluestone road to the corner courtyard, passing by the gate of the eldest lady's courtyard, Lancao thought that she and Nalanmei and others were the role of the big girl, but people were mixed up, and now as long as she saw herself, she immediately put out a high score, Lancao was inevitably awkward in her heart, and she was looking forward to walking quickly, who knew that the dumb aunt turned her head to look, suddenly stopped her steps, and turned around and walked to the door.

Surprised, Lan Cao's heart fluttered, and she thought to herself that the eldest lady was not summoned, and if we rushed in, we would definitely attract a lot of scolding.

But the dumb aunt's expression was very determined, stepping on the snow step by step, and Lancao could only hurriedly support her.

When I entered the door, I saw that the fingers of the plum tree were full of finger-sized buds, some of which had burst to reveal a cluster of tightly wrapped petals, which seemed to be going to bloom either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

As a subordinate, Lancao has always had no time to appreciate any flowers except sleeping at night and working during the day, and she doesn't have that leisure, and she doesn't understand these things.

The dumb aunt seemed to be very interested, carrying the corners of her skirt, stepping on the snow, walking slowly around the plum tree, looking slowly, she saw a half-open and half-closed bud, a touch of bright red squeezed out of the green calyx, pressed by the snow, only this star in the snow world is bright red, it looks very eye-catching. The dumb aunt stood on tiptoe, and suddenly broke off the finger flower and the whole plum branch, held it in her arms, and turned away without any more nostalgia.

Lancao's heart is about to jump out of her mouth, she is extremely worried, if she is bumped into by someone, the little grandmother and she will not be able to eat and walk around, why is the little grandma's courage suddenly so big, the little grandmother in the past, but even walked with her head down, did not dare to squint, did not dare to take a step, so in the two months since she got married, she has almost never been anywhere, she is bored in the corner yard when she has nothing to do, looking at the clouds overhead, or accompanying the blue grass to do needlework and sewing pulp washing.

The joy in Master Liu's heart couldn't be suppressed, he immediately prepared to go to the ancestral hall, and at the same time told the housekeeper to prepare in advance, and wait for the little brother to hold a full moon banquet on the day of the full moon, invite relatives and friends, and celebrate greatly. Steward Liu pinched his fingers at the door and counted, and suddenly knelt on the ground with both knees, and said in a trembling voice that the lord was a happy event, so coincidentally, the day of the full moon of the little brother is the fifteenth day of the first month, isn't it the Lantern Festival?

Liu Dingmao raised his head and counted, but it was a coincidence, his mouth couldn't close, and he smiled and told him to be happy, and when the time came, everyone had a good time, and the men in Liufu were thin, this is a good start, and the family will definitely prosper in the future, and it will get better and better.

The orchid grass means that since you have folded the plum blossoms in the big lady's yard, then we will quietly hide and go back, who knows that the dumb aunt seems to be stupid, and she doesn't know that it will attract the attention of others, she holds the plum blossoms in her arms, and while walking, she will open the heart of the flower to pull the petals inside, pull a petal and throw a petal, all the way through, the small Yin red petal actually scattered all the way.

The two of them were just about to enter the gate of the corner courtyard, when a figure hurriedly passed by, holding a white cloth package in his arms, muttering and complaining.

"This cold day, this bad luck work fell on the head of my family, they all told them that he was sick today and needed to take leave, but he didn't let people rest, hum, I know that you people are torturing people in different ways, this cold snow day, who doesn't know that you have to run to the suburbs to burn, this trip comes and goes, and it is strange that his wind and cold are not aggravated. ”

As he spoke, he bowed his head and wiped his tears.

Lancao was afraid that she would notice the plum branch in the dumb aunt's arms, so she quickly pulled the sleeve of the dumb aunt and signaled her to leave quickly.

The dumb aunt seemed to want to fight against her, she suddenly stuffed the plum branch into the blue grass's arms, took a few steps up to intercept the middle-aged woman, and reached out to remove the white cloth in someone's arms.

Lan Cao saw that this was Aunt Yang who was doing hard work in the firewood room.

Aunt Yang came all the way, and when she saw her, she avoided the plague and walked away, but suddenly two people did not hide, but directly bumped into her arms to see the package, she was stupid there, and let the dumb aunt shake off the white cloth layer by layer.

After all, Lancao is a child, and she is also curious, and she looks on tiptoe, and this time she looks sturdy, so shocked that her eyes almost burst out of her sockets, and the white coarse cloth is not wrapped in any clothes to eat, nor utensils and tools, but a small body with red stripes, a dark red with pincers purple, a small nose and small eyes clearly placed there, it is a dead baby.
