After dinner, it was getting dark, and in the small kitchen of Aunt Liang's yard, there was still a red firelight flickering, the medicine stewed on the small stove was steaming, and the little girl sitting next to her, little by little, seemed to be about to fall asleep.

At this time, a mother with a serious face came in, and when she saw the little girl's head hanging lower and lower, she "snapped" on her shoulder. The little girl was suddenly frightened awake, and with a sigh, she stood up, but when she found that it was Mother Yan sent by the old lady standing in front of her, she immediately lowered her head. Yan Mom says:

"Xi'er, why are you on duty, my aunt's medicine is broken, who is responsible?"

"The slave won't dare next time. ”

"Next time, if you are a first-time offender, you will be fined three months' monthly money, and the next time you find out, you will be thrown out directly. ”

"I also begged my mother for forgiveness, and my family is still waiting for me to take the money back to my father's medical treatment. The little girl was already crying.

"That is, you should be on an errand, if you are not punished today, you will learn from each other in the future, won't you be messed up?" The little girl wanted to say something more, but Mother Yan had already turned around and went out, so she had to do it again and weep secretly.

At this time, a little girl in a green jacket entered the door.

"Sister Xi'er, why are you crying?" asked Xi'er hurriedly wiping away her tears

"Sister Shuang'er, why are you here? "The one wearing the green jacket is Aunt Qin's little girl Shuang'er, since Tongxi was raised as an aunt, the Wang family has sent a few girls to serve her, and this pair is one of the little girls. She has always had a good relationship with Xi'er, probably because they are both aunts' little girls, and they are not very popular with each other.

"Mrs. came to see Aunt Liang with Aunt Bai and Aunt Qin today, and they are all sitting in the house at this time, I found a time to see my sister, and asked Sister Peach Blossom. She said that her sister was boiling medicine. Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

"It's nothing, it's just ......" Xi'er remembered that she was reprimanded by Yan's mother just now and fined three months of money, and she couldn't hold back and wept again.

"Sister, we are good sisters, if you have anything to say, maybe my sister can help. So Xi'er told Shuang'er what had just happened. Shuang'er's face was full of anger,

"We're not human, we can't doze off, we get up the earliest, sleep the latest, and we don't miss the master's errand. That Mother Yan was sent by the old lady, and her nostrils were all facing to the sky, it was really from the Hades family. When Xi'er heard Shuang'er say this, she was afraid that others would hear it and cause trouble again, so she quickly covered Shuang'er's mouth with her hand.

"Sister Shuang'er, if you want to complain, you can complain about our bad life. It's just that my dad broke his leg when he went up the mountain two months ago, and he hasn't been well. Now I rely on my mother to wash and sew clothes for others. Unexpectedly, my father was sick again last month, and the family also pointed to my monthly money to help one or two, but this was deducted by Yan's mother again. Xi'er lowered her head gloomily after speaking, and Shuang'er was silent for a moment and said:

"Sister, I still have money there, I'll give it to you and use it first. ”

"What's the matter, your monthly money is the same as mine. ”

"I'm just a person, and I don't need anything, and Aunt Qin has been in a good mood recently, and she has a lot of rewards, so I'll lend you an emergency. Catch up with Ming'er, you are relaxed, and then I will not pay it back. ”

"Sister, your great kindness, sister......" Xi'er couldn't control it anymore, and tears flowed out. Shuang'er immediately took out his handkerchief and shook it a few times to wipe the tears on Xi'er's face. Xi'er only cared about wiping away her tears, and she didn't see Shuang'er quickly pour a bag of things into the medicine jar. The white powder was in the boiling liquid, tumbling a few times and then disappearing in an instant.

At this moment, the Wang family took Aunt Bai and Aunt Qin to visit Aunt Liang, and the old lady was sympathetic to Aunt Liang's pregnancy, and specially cleaned up a small courtyard for her, not living in the main courtyard of the second room. After dinner that day, the Wang family took advantage of the two aunts to ask for peace, and proposed to go to see Aunt Liang, and Bai and Qin naturally did not dare to have any objections.

When Wang came, Aunt Liang was already lying on the bed, and when she saw Wang coming in, she hurriedly got up and saluted, but Wang hurriedly stopped.

"Don't move, what are you going to do with those false courtesies here, An Ansheng will add a big fat boy to the master. Aunt Liang hurriedly asked Wang to sit down, and at the same time ordered the maid to serve tea. Wang said with a smile on his face:

"During this time, I was busy eating New Year's wine everywhere, ignoring you, I didn't have time to come to see you, I thought that you have someone sent by the old lady to take care of it, it must be appropriate, so I dare to be lazy, and I hope you don't be surprised. Aunt Liang also replied respectfully:

"Mrs. takes care of the family, naturally there are many things, now that Mrs. can come, the concubine is already grateful, how can I see strange. ”

Wang was very satisfied with Aunt Liang's answer, and pointed to the two silk horses on the table and said:

"This is the crimson silk made inside, fine and soft, and it is the most suitable for children to make a close-fitting **. I deliberately found it today, and there was no such good thing when I gave birth to Brother An. Aunt Liang took the scarlet silk handed by the maid and looked at it, it was really different from the ordinary ones, the texture was thicker, and it had a faint luster.

"Madam, such a valuable thing, the concubine is afraid that the children in the house will not be able to bear it, so please ask the wife to take it back. ”

"What's the big deal, what's unbearable, it's also the young master and young lady in the house, don't shirk it. ”

"Yes, sister, don't you like your wife's reward?" Aunt Qin on the side interjected, although there was a playful tone on her face, but she only had deep jealousy in her heart, isn't it a big deal to be pregnant with a child, and if Ming'er is pregnant herself, the master will definitely value herself more.

Aunt Liang thanked the Wang family again and again, and Fang ordered the maid to accept it. Wang glanced at Aunt Liang's stomach and said:

"You can take this fetal pill and tonic on time, it's been five months, why are you still not very pregnant?"

"Mrs. Hui's words, since the concubine was pregnant, she has been happy, although it is not serious, but it has dragged on for a long time. Wang thought for a while and asked Aunt Bai who was standing on the side:

"You seemed to be very happy when you were pregnant with Qiyun, how did you get better later?"

"The concubine can't remember very clearly, it's been a long time, it seems that she took the medicine of the doctor Yao in the house at that time. ”

"Dr. Yao later went back to his hometown, but this time it was difficult to find. Aunt Liang didn't know what Wang's intentions were, whether it was to find a doctor for herself, so she hurriedly said:

"Don't bother, it's been better lately, the doctor came to see it and said it's nothing, the child is fine." ”

"That's good. The Wang family did not propose to change the doctor, and Aunt Liang was suspicious in her heart, and she couldn't figure out the purpose of Wang's trip. While talking, Peach Blossom came in with a bowl of medicine,

"Auntie, it's time to drink medicine. At this time, Wang glanced at Chen's mother with an inquiring eye, and when the latter nodded slightly, he looked coldly at Aunt Liang and drank the medicine.

"Okay, I'll be relieved to see that you're doing well, you have also drunk this medicine, rest well, we should also go." ”

Around the third watch, Zhang Hou and Wang were sleeping peacefully in the room, when they suddenly heard someone reporting outside that Aunt Liang was not doing well.
