Wang resigned from the old lady early in the morning and took Qi Jiao to the Guogong Mansion by car. The north direction of the capital is the imperial city, the city is centered on the imperial city and the fan-shaped radiation spreads, the closest to the imperial city is the palace, the public mansion and some important ministers, such as Shangshu, the general or something, in turn is the residence of the middle and upper officials, the house of the bottom officials and the wealthy, and the outermost layer is the house of the common people. Because the Zhang family is also an important minister of the emperor because their ancestors are also important ministers, they live not too far from the imperial city, and the Guogong Mansion is on the edge of the imperial city. Therefore, the car walked for a long time and arrived at the gate of the Guogong Mansion. Someone inside had already come out, Wang and Qi Jiao abandoned the car and boarded the sedan chair, and it took about half a column of incense before the sedan chair stopped. As soon as Wang got off the sedan chair, a decently dressed mother bowed to her, Wang recognized that this was Lian's mother, so he naturally didn't dare to hold it up, after all, the official level crushed people to death, not to mention that he was just a five-grade official's internal dependent, but Lian's was a super-grade lady, and he hurriedly helped him up.

"Mom is relied on by the Duchess of the Kingdom, how dare I be so polite. ”

"Madame is serious, but she has been by Madame's side for a long time. This Pei's mother was very happy to hear Wang's flattery, but she was humble in her mouth. Immediately, Pei's mother turned sideways to lead the way, and Wang slowly followed with Qi Jiao. When they arrived in the hall, Pei's mother invited them to sit down for a while, saying that the people from the Guogong Mansion were at Mrs. Shizi's place at this time, so she would go and invite. Wang even said that it didn't matter, the matter of Zixi was important. When Pei's mother went out, the maid also served tea, Qi Jiao secretly a large number of this hall, not to mention the carved beams and paintings, unlike other houses, the four walls of the hall are surrounded by a color of silk carpets, with various origami flowers on it, lifelike. Not to mention pleasing to the eye, it also makes people lift it very warmly. The delicate carved windows are inlaid with large pieces of glass, allowing you to see clearly and keep out the cold. At this time, in the distance outside the window, the fog was cloudy, and I didn't know what it was. At this moment, I only heard the sound of a skirt, and sure enough, Lian came in from the back door, Wang quickly stood up, and Lian smiled all over his face:

"But I made my sister wait for a long time, and just now my daughter-in-law went to see something. ”

"I don't know how the Lady of the World Prince, if there is any trouble, we will come back another day. ”

"Look at what my sister said, my daughter-in-law is just a little squeamish, isn't it about to give birth, find something to do from time to time, it's not a big deal. ”

"Women, when they have a body, they are more delicate. Li smiled without saying a word, and ordered the maid to take out a few things and give them to Qi Jiao.

"The last time we met in a hurry, I didn't have anything good for you, I really didn't want to go, this is for you. ”

"Sister is so angry, Qi Jiao is a child, how can she be worthy of such a thing. Wang looked at the tray with all kinds of jewelry and toys made inside, all of which were high-quality products, and hurriedly excused himself.

"This child and my eyes, don't shirk it. The Wang family saw that it was not good to push again, so he asked Qi Jiao to worship Xie Lian's family. After sitting for a while, the maid came in and reported that the table was ready. Lian invited Wang to have dinner together, and there were many delicacies and delicacies. The Wang family was also born in a family of eunuchs for generations, and naturally saw a lot of good things, but the cucumbers and greens on the table surprised her, after all, it was the middle of winter, and such seasonal vegetables were really rare. I couldn't help but say:

"Sister, it's a rarity here. Lian smiled,

"This is also the benefit of worshipping this house, when the Holy God gave this house, I didn't expect there to be a hot spring in it, so I dug a pool, with this hot water, I tried to let people grow some vegetables, I didn't expect it to be very good. Qi Jiao only then realized that what she saw through the window just now was the hot spring pool, and she couldn't help but yearn for the wealth of the Guogong Mansion.

"Jiao'er, can you just stay here and stay with me for a few days?" Qi Jiao said with determination after hearing this,

"Madame is good, dare not obey her fate. Lian Shi happily said,

"Okay, okay, let's go to the theater after a while. ”

A few people here are eating and drinking, so unhappy, but Mrs. Shizi's side is a different scene.

The name of this prince is Jin Niang, her background is average, and her father is only a small thousand households under the command of Qi Guogong, but in a battle with Xirong, he desperately tried to save Qi Guogong, but he lost a leg. Qi Guogong thanked him for saving his life, and agreed to marry his children and in-laws. After the war, he could not stay in the army because he was disabled, so he returned to his hometown with his family. A few years later, his wife died of illness, and he also felt that his time was short, so he handed over the token given by the Duke of Qi that day to his daughter and asked her to go to Beijing to find relatives. It didn't take long for him to be gone, and this Jin Niang brought a mother and a little maid into Beijing. At that time, it happened that the Duchess of Guo went to the temple to pray for blessings and was no longer in the house. She entered the mansion through the Shi family and met the Duke of Qi, otherwise she would not have been able to marry into the Guogong Mansion, and the Lian family would definitely obstruct it in every way, so the Lian family also had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Shi family. But the life of marrying into the house Jinniang is not easy, Lian's nose and eyes are not said all day long, the prince is also cold and indifferent to her, and I don't know if it is her luck or misfortune, one of the few times she has been in the same room, she is pregnant.

On this day, she got up in the morning with abdominal pain, and sent someone to report to Lian's to invite a doctor, Lian's came to stay for a few minutes, and was invited away by Pei's mother, saying that there was a distinguished guest coming to the door, so Lian asked someone to invite the second lady to come over, take care of it, and then go by herself. Not long after, Shi came over, and the doctor was already diagnosing the pulse, so he avoided the side. After a while, the doctor was late, and the old mother took him aside and asked about his condition. The doctor said:

"Madame was born with a deficiency disease, but this time the pregnancy is even worse, and it is not easy for the fetus to be guaranteed until this time. Today's abdominal pain is a precursor to miscarriage, don't get out of bed these days, take these few pills to nourish the fetus first, and if there is anything in the future, I will change the prescription. ”

When the old mother heard this, she came in and asked Shi if she had anything else to ask, and Shi shook her head and motioned for her to go out and arrange for someone to decoct the medicine. But he walked to Jin Niang's bedside. Jin Niang's eyes were wide open, her face was pale, and there was almost no flesh on her body, which did not look like a ruddy face of an ordinary pregnant person. Shi came over and sat on the edge of the bed, took Jin Niang's hand, and said softly:

"Jin Niang. Jin Niang slowly turned her head to look at Shi and shouted, "Auntie." "Shi is also her only warmth in this mansion.

"Don't worry, the doctor said that it doesn't matter, just take care of it. You have to eat more, look at the thin body, and how strong you will be when the time comes. ”

"Auntie, Jin Niang knows, thank you Auntie for your concern. Shi didn't know what to say, sat down for a while, watched Jin Niang take the medicine and left, after all, she was not her daughter-in-law, and it was not good to care too much. Thinking about the first time I saw Jin Niang, her big black and white eyes were full of curiosity about this mansion, but it was just more than a year, and the life of the house drained her spirit, becoming like a dead ash of a tree, thinking of this Shi Shi couldn't help but feel sad, and then faintly heard the sound of babbling on the other side of the hot spring pool, so he asked the people around him what was going on. The big girl Shuanghuan will say that it is the Duchess of Guo who passed on the small opera troupe in the house and listened to the play over there. Shi shook his head and walked towards his courtyard.
