Chapter Seventy-Four: Pregnant
Shoki-in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The wind is fierce, like the wind blowing from the plateau in the northern winter, and there is no grass everywhere it goes, and the eyes are full of depression.
Pei Shuo was dressed in a single robe, wielding a two-handed long knife, the long knife almost a person high was picked up by him effortlessly, chopping and sweeping with a clear eye, but there was no wind in the courtyard but he was forced to use the wind, which was not inferior to the soldiers in the barracks.
Giving the enemy a fatal final blow, he retracted. Sweat poured out from his forehead, and the fine beads of sweat condensed into sweat the size of a fish's eye, passing through the thick eyebrow peaks, flowing through the deep eye sockets, hanging on the eyelashes, his chest rose and fell panting, Pei Shuo hugged his fist at his grandfather, and the demonstration was over.
"Good!" Pei Suiyin applauded. "There is no waste of martial arts in Nanxun County, which is very good, but you follow the rules and don't know how to be flexible, the battlefield is changing instantly, there are empty moves but you can't make it, you can't make it, you can't be aggrieved? ”
Their Pei family followed the saint to conquer the world, accumulated great fame, in the future, whether Pei Shuo inherited the knighthood or made some achievements, he must also walk the road of a military general, for which Pei Suiyin and Pei Zhengwen all had high hopes for him, and passed down the family knife technique early.
Grandpa's words, Pei Shuo has a deep understanding, he has empty moves, but he can't use them, seeing that Ayao is injured, his reaction is not as good as a little girl.
"Thank you grandpa for your teachings. He said seriously, "My grandson will practice more every day to live up to his grandfather's expectations." ”
Pei Suiyin was happy, Pei Shuo came back from Nanxun County, the person has not changed, but the heart of playing is withdrawn, the person is a little taller, and he looks steady: "Shibei should be impressed on the third day, and tell grandpa about your affairs in Nanxun County." ”
Push open the door and bring people to the room, the heat wave pavement, the front chest and back of the ice and fire.
Pei Suiyin is used to doing everything himself, and he doesn't like to have maids to serve him, so he entered the house and threw Pei Shuo a sweat towel to wipe his sweat.
Wipe the sweat off his face, pour tea for Pei Suiyin, sort out what happened to him in Nanxun County, pick up some key things, Pei Suiyin has actually heard it, and then listen to his grandson's explanation, there are not too many discrepancies, he sits with his eyes closed and nods from time to time, when he heard him say that when he was in the Lu family, he injured his shoulder and gave Lu Yuanwai a heavy blow, and suddenly lifted his eyelids, hating iron and steel: "Confused!" There are thousands of ways to expose that person's evil deeds, but you choose the lowest one to kill 10,000 enemies and injure yourself 8,000, your previous plan is good, but how can you be so confused in the back, let Pei Wear or Pei Bu lead the officials to the backyard, leaving clues to dig a pit, and the rest of the matter will come naturally. ”
"But your brain is pumping, just when you show up in a grand manner, you just take one of the little girls to testify, you have to poke yourself in the shoulder!
Pei Shuo pursed his lips and said in a low voice, with a bit of flattery: "It hurts ......"
Pei Suiyin's face softened slightly, and he got up and went to the inner room to get a box of ointment: "I know that it hurts and poke a knife on my body, but you are also a smart kid, you don't hurt your muscles and bones, and if you can lift the big knife, it means that the wound is almost good, take it back to wipe the wound, and take the knife for the woman before you go to the battlefield!"
Thinking of Pei Yang's message, Pei Suiyin's impression of Jiang Yao plummeted, and he was heartbroken. His grandson, the future is bright, how can he be swayed by a stinky girl, who is only ten years old, and he is already a hero who has passed the beauty pass, so what can he do in the future, if the enemy captures his wife and concubine alive, and wants to blackmail him to kill himself before the battle, this reaction is not impossible at the moment.
Pei Suiyin frowned tightly, his forehead was frowning, Pei Shuo's heart tightened, at that time, he patronized his own thoughts, and did not take into account the reaction of his grandfather and father after knowing about it.
It's too bad that before A-Yao appeared in front of them, her impression was greatly reduced.
"Yes, my grandson knows my mistake. "It's imperative to calm the old man's anger first, he still has something to discuss with his grandfather, but now is not a good time to mention this.
Pei Suiyin waved his hand: "It's been a long journey, after meeting Cui's and playing a knife trick with me, you are also tired, go back and have a good rest, it's time to have dinner." ”
"Yes. ”
Honeysuckle had already arranged for someone to boil the water, Pei Shuo bathed and tidied, and when he came out, he saw the golden afterglow shining on the wall through the west window, as if it was plated with a layer of gold.
Cui Mengzhang sent the girl over and invited him to the side hall for dinner.
When he arrived, the third brother Pei Xingning sat quietly at the table, the grandfather had not yet arrived, the maid sent cold dishes, Cui Mengzhang saw that Pei Shuo had arrived, and the father-in-law should let the maid serve the dishes when the time was about to arrive.
Patting cucumbers, mixing mustard soy sauce and a small plate of preserved eggs cut into small petals, Pei Xinning was greedy, and he caught a glimpse of Pei Shuo coming over, and shouted timidly: "Big brother." ”
Pei Shuo responded, Pei Xingning is 9 years old this year, three years younger than him, because Pei Xingning was taken by Aunt Feng's side, it was so quiet that it echoed his name, except for meeting at the dinner table, they were not together much at other times, and the relationship between the two brothers was mediocre. Compared with him, Pei Xingning seems to like to stick to Pei Xingzhi's side more, and he is good friends with Xingzhi, so he doesn't pay much attention to his brother.
Pei Suiyin paced over and took his seat.
The dishes are all good, too.
"The eldest doesn't come back to eat, the second family gathers together in the yard by himself, we will eat by ourselves, you can eat whatever you like, Cui's, you don't have to work to give me vegetables, sit back." Pei Suiyin rejected Cui Mengzhang's cloth and asked her to sit back to eat.
Pei's family is thin, there are not many aunts, Pei Suiyin is still a rough man, he attaches importance to education, cultivates two sons, the boss is like a torch and follows the right person with the whole family to soar, the eldest and the second family also attach importance to cultivating the next generation, especially the second family, knowing that Pei Xingzhi can't take the road of meritorious service, so he goes to the official to cultivate, even if he can't take the imperial examination, he can also seek a civil job through the family shadow.
But in the final analysis, the Pei family does not have the background of the family.
The set of separate tables for men and women has not worked in the Pei family.
In the words of Mr. Pei, there are more fathers than women in our family, get two tables, and then the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law sit at one table, deserted, and the six of them are crowded at a table and humming to eat, it is better to simply drive the girls back to the yard to eat, how cold and cold.
The food was silent, and the meal was almost finished, but I saw the maid coming up with a strangely shaped copper pot.
"That's ......" Pei Sui didn't know what he meant, how could there be vegetables coming up now.
"Shuo'er rushed back from Nanxun County, and I took pity on him all the way, so I asked the cook to stew a pot of mutton soup. Now that the weather is cold, drink mutton soup to warm up, Dad, you will drink one more bowl later, Xingning, you are still young, you should not make up too much, you can only drink one bowl, don't be greedy. ”
still didn't mention Pei Shuo much.
Pei Suiyin glanced at Cui Mengzhang more, and Pei Xingning agreed glutinously.
As soon as the lid of the copper pot was lifted, the smell of mutton made Cui Mengzhang's stomach tumble, and an inexplicable nausea rushed to her throat, and she ran out to hold on to the pillar and retched.
“……”
Everyone's eyes focused on Cui Mengzhang.
The maid in charge of lifting the lid froze in place, and suddenly knelt down after a few seconds.
Cui Mengzhang took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth, she had a headache and nausea when she smelled the smell of mutton, disgusted in her heart, and she didn't necessarily vomit anything when she retched, she wiped her mouth, and when she looked back, she saw a big two, six pairs of eyes staring at her, and the maid who served the food was trembling.
"Dad, I'm sorry. Cui Mengzhang said in a sneering manner, and walked back as he spoke.
The reddening charcoal fire bakes the bottom of the pot, maintaining the temperature of the mutton soup on the copper stove, and if it is cold, the oil floating on the mutton soup will gather together and slowly turn into white fat lumps to cover the soup and the mutton. The mutton soup was not cold, it was constantly fragrant, Cui Mengzhang got a little closer, and his head was dizzy from it.
Taking a step further, her eyes were dark, and she fainted to the ground, thinking in her heart before she fell into a coma that Pei Shuo was really her nemesis, and nothing good would happen when she met him.
"Lift Madame up!"
Pei Suiyin shouted, Jianlan took the first step to help her young lady up, and shouted to her among the people who were pinching her, "Madam, madam, wake up!"
The maid who was kneeling on the floor even rolled up, forgot to say the accusation, and rushed out, "Old lady, the slave and maid go to find the doctor!"
"Help the person back. Pei Suiyin looked at her reaction and had a guess in her heart, so she first asked Jianlan and the maids who were waiting nearby to help people back to the room left and right.
Halfway through the meal, they were interrupted halfway, and Pei Shuo and Pei Xingning looked at their distant figures.
Pei Xingning didn't know what to do, so he set his eyes on Pei Shuo, "Big brother, what should we do now...... I haven't eaten yet. ”
"Then continue to eat, we can't help in the past now, fill our stomachs first and then go over, we can't waste the soup that Madame prepared for us." Pei Shuo sat down and scooped himself a bowl of soup, which was really warm to his stomach.
Pei Xingning was restless, he had no intention of eating after a few bites, he and Aunt Feng had to rely on Cui Mengzhang to live, if she had three long and two short, maybe she would change to a new aunt? So he said to Pei Shuo: "Big brother, let's eat, let's hurry over." ”
Cui Mengzhang fainted, causing the people of Pei Mansion to turn on their backs.
Aunt Feng rushed over immediately when she learned about it, she and Pei Xingning had the same idea, if Cui's suddenly fell ill, Pei's middle feed might fall into the hands of the Li family in the second room, people are selfish, the Li family has always looked down on her, when the time comes, where will she have a good life, I hope it is not a serious illness.
Aunt Feng lifted her skirt and ran away, praying secretly in her heart.
The two rooms gathered together for family fun, Pei Zhengshan, Li and Pei Xingzhi gathered around a table, four dishes and one soup, all of which were big dishes, roast lamb shank, roast venison, cabbage balls in soup and braised carp, as well as a ding of mutton soup.
The family was chatting happily, and the maid hurriedly came to report, saying that the eldest lady was not good and unconscious.
Li put down his chopsticks: "How can a good person be bad, don't talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth." ”
The second lady spared her life, I heard that it was not long after the mutton soup was served on the table, and the eldest lady fainted. "The slave maid who came to report the news was not the one who was at the scene, and the people in the side hall at that time were all gathered in Cui Mengzhang's courtyard, but it was just a false rumor, which gave rise to a misunderstanding.
Hearing that it was mutton soup, the three of them coincidentally focused on the mutton soup that had not yet been uncovered.
"Let's put this first, maybe the cook has caught what the eldest brother's enemy did?" Pei Zhengshan asked, the maid also didn't know anything, and hurriedly ran over to report the news when the wind blew a little, except for Cui Mengzhang who fainted, the others didn't listen carefully.
Pei Zhengshan pointed at the maid and said hatefully: "You!
Li put down his chopsticks: "I'll go over and see Cui's situation." ”
"It's okay, you hurry over. ”
Cui Mengzhang woke up slowly, the first thing she saw was her red curtain curtain, she glanced over, and saw a woman with a generous face, this person she knew, He Niang, a medical woman in He Jitang in the east of the city, had been familiar with medical books since she was a child, and her medical skills were superb, and she knew the woman's illness well, and often went in and out of the backyard of dignitaries.
Her wrist was placed on a soft cloth cushion, and He Niang's three fingers pressed on her vein, moving gently.
Soon she withdrew her hand, comforted Cui Mengzhang and said, "Congratulations, madam, you have a body for three months." ”
“……”
She's been around for three months?
She already has Pei Zhengwen's child in her belly?
Cui Mengzhang's mind was blank, but his hand was already on his belly, stroking back and forth repeatedly.
He Niang stepped out of the door, and Pei Suiyin asked, "How is my daughter-in-law?"
He Niang's face was overjoyed, and she blessed Pei Suiyin: "Congratulations to the old lady, your house is about to add Ding, Mrs. is already three months pregnant, and you have to pay attention to the next diet and all aspects." ”
Pei Shuo's face was expressionless, in strong contrast with the joyful look on Pei Suiyin's face, Pei Suiyin slapped his thigh: "Great!
Cui Mengzhang in the house heard the sound of conversation outside, far away, like an ethereal fairy music in the air, and he couldn't find the sense of reality. "Jianlan, Jianlan, pinch me, am I dreaming?"
Jianlan cried with joy, and helped Cui Mengzhang to sit up: "Madam, we didn't dream, you are already a double person, and you have the little master in your stomach!"
Cui Mengzhang stroked his flat abdomen repeatedly, and he couldn't believe that there was already a small life hidden in it.
is pregnant in her belly, and in seven months, he will meet the world.
When Li Shuangyu arrived, he heard the news of Cui Mengzhang's pregnancy, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, so he turned back.
The next day, Pei Zhengwen rushed back from the barracks, and Cui Mengzhang changed his clothes with a smile and playfully reported the good news to him.
"Husband, do you like boys or girls?"
"Either way. After waiting for a long time, but getting Pei Zhengwen's answer, Cui Mengzhang was inevitably disappointed, and quickly adjusted his mentality, "I hope it's a girl, there are a lot of boys in our family, or skinny or quiet, and having a daughter can also get the love of a few brothers, what do you say?"
"Hmm. ”
Cui Mengzhang was unhappy, and talked for a long time, does he like boys or girls, or doesn't like her being pregnant? )
