Chapter 31: The Heir
"Miss!"
Yingchun was stupid, I didn't know what I said wrong, and I actually provoked the eldest lady to even throw the cup!
Xiao Qing, who was wiping the table on the side, pushed away Yingchun when he heard the sound and helped Xu Chenghuan up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She's going to be angry, what did this dead girl Yingchun say to the eldest lady?
"Miss, where are you uncomfortable?" Xiaoqing asked anxiously, turning around and shouting to welcome the spring: "Go and find your wife to ask for a doctor, what are you still doing in a daze!"
Before the words fell, Mrs. Bai had already lifted the curtain and rushed over a few steps, holding her daughter in her arms.
"Huan Niang, Huan Niang, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Ying, who was following Mrs. Bai, hurriedly turned around and went out again, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to ask for a doctor.
Xu Chenghuan didn't know what was wrong, as soon as Mrs. Bai's hand reached over, she was like an iron meeting a magnet, and she involuntarily clinged to it.
"Mother!"
It didn't seem to be her outcry, but it was clearly her voice, with deep attachment and sorrow, with her body into the warm arms of her mother, hugging it to death, and refusing to part with it.
Mrs. Bai was startled at first, and then hot tears rolled down her cheeks and fell on the top of her daughter's black hair.
"Huan Niang ......"
My daughter has never been so active in getting close to her, she used to be crazy and stupid and didn't understand, but now she is getting better, but it always makes her feel faintly alienated and intimate.
Every time she looks at her daughter, she always feels panicked, as if this daughter does not belong to her.
But at this moment, the soft feeling in her arms is true, this is her daughter, the child she conceived and gave birth to in October!
Xu Chenghuan's fingers moved, and he found that he couldn't resist this heartfelt action, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly and gave up struggling.
Bai Huanniang, is it you? In the sixteen years of your chaos, you didn't know anything, did you?
The feeling in his mind was very chaotic, Xu Chenghuan closed his eyes and gave up the struggle, giving up this body to its true owner. The faint fragrance of the woman's arms lingered around her nose, and the warmth suddenly rose, and she now understood everything.
Xu Chenghuan was born in the family of Houmen military generals, and he knew what it meant to have an heir to a woman, especially a woman from a military general's family, since he was sensible.
In this world, whether it is a relative of the emperor or a small family, all of them take having many sons and many blessings as their creed, and the woman who marries a woman has the greatest merit in her husband's family to keep giving birth to sons, one is far from enough, and two are also few, only seven sons and eight daughters will be considered by the world to be blessed and prosperous.
I still remember that when she was a child, she secretly followed her brother to the opera garden to watch a play called "Full Bed", which tells the story of the seven sons and eight sons-in-law of Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang in the Tang Dynasty, who came to pay homage to his birthday, all of them were high-ranking officials, and the wat board was full of ivory beds.
She asked her brother childishly, and his smile quickly disappeared, and then said softly, after all, it couldn't be born by a woman.
When she got home, she saw a few aunts swaying behind her father outside her mother's main courtyard, and her heart sank.
Yes, the mother Mrs. Wei Bei Hou, born in Zhongyi Bofu, is the eldest daughter of the grandson, with a strong personality, and her father Wei Bei Hou is in love, husband and wife, even so, I have to take a few aunts for the sake of the heir, and I have to accept a few aunts for the father of the three generations of single generations after the birth of the eldest brother Xu Chenglin without pregnancy for many years.
I heard that my mother was reluctant at that time, but even the queen mother at that time, the biological mother of the first emperor, gave an order to ask, and my mother had to give in. It is said that my mother used to talk and laugh, but since then she has been much calmer.
In these years, her mother's depression and happiness, she also looked at her eyes, and it was clear in her heart.
She moved slightly, looked up, and saw the woman's white jaw and crystal tears on the top of her head.
Her mother-in-law is Mrs. Weibeihou, and she has a maiden family like Zhongyi Bofu behind her, and she has taken a concubine for her father, and she is still under a lot of pressure, and from time to time some people say that she is jealous, so what about this woman?
She married far away to Yuzhou, helpless, only one son, and a crazy and stupid daughter, and she has never taken a concubine for her husband, how much pain does she have to bear?
But she did not have any dislike and disgust for this crazy and stupid daughter who caused her heirs to bear a lot of pressure, but always kept it in her heart and held it in her hand.
Xu Chenghuan lowered his eyes, the light in his eyes flickered, but he didn't overflow after all.
Bai Huanniang, since I'm here, I will naturally be a good daughter, you can rest assured.
I don't know how long it took, the strange feeling of not being able to control herself finally disappeared, and Mrs. Bai was still gently caressing her back to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon......"
Xu Chenghuan said "um" softly and said no more.
After about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ying came in and said that the doctor had come.
The folk customs of the Great Qi Dynasty are already more civilized than those of the previous dynasty, not to mention that the Bai family is not a big family, and there are not so many rules, Mrs. Bai just placed her daughter on the soft collapse of the outer world, and let the doctor enter the door.
"The eldest lady is fine, it is estimated that she was blown by this cold wind in the morning, and some colds caused discomfort, so I will be fine if I prescribe medicine for two or three days. ā
The doctor quickly finished the diagnosis, and while putting the pulse pillow into the medicine box, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Chenghuan's face a few times.
It is said that the eldest lady of the Bai family is cured of her madness, and he is also very curious about where the master of Xinglin came from to cure it, at this time, it seems that it is really good, but he is really not good at asking people in person, it's just that, go back and ask their family.
After sending the doctor out and decocting the medicine, Mrs. Bai had time to sit down and drink tea, and beat the maid standing in the house.
"Yingchun, how are you serving the eldest lady? It's not hot yet, and the eldest lady doesn't know how to put another cloak on her when she gets up early? If the eldest lady is uncomfortable, you will just stand still? If you are not comfortable, I will choose another person to serve you, where will you call and give me back!"
Before Mrs. Bai's voice fell, Yingchun was already frightened and knelt down with a white face and quickly kowtowed: "Mrs. forgiveness, it was the slave and maid who were negligent, and I will never do it again in the future, beg Mrs. to be gracious, beg Mrs. to be gracious!"
These days, because she has been the eldest lady's side and has been given a name by the eldest lady, she is very faceless among the Bai family.
Mrs. Bai glanced at Xu Chenghuan.
Xu Chenghuan just looked at her with a smile and counted the maids, and did not interject, which made Mrs. Bai's heart feel sweet for a while, and she couldn't help but think that this maid was also her daughter's favorite, and she changed her name personally, so she must have been a little reluctant, and sighed helplessly and pointed to Xiaoqing standing next to her.
"Huanniang, Yingchun is still a little frizzy in doing things, I'll give you Xiaoqing too, I'll pick someone else here. ā
Xu Chenghuan glanced at Xiaoqing, and saw that she was also raising her head to look over here, her eyes were bright and she seemed to be happy, and after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.
"Then thank you mother, but you have to work hard to pick someone again. ā
Yingchun was just an opportunity for her to speak that day, and it could be regarded as casting her eyes, when it came to doing things, it was true that Xiaoqing did not have the assertiveness and vision, she couldn't have a capable person around her, right?
Xiaoqing hurriedly came over happily and kowtowed to Xu Chenghuan to confess the lord, if in the past, the eldest lady's side was a bad place, but now, the eldest lady's side still has a future.
Mrs. Bai also laughed at her daughter: "I'm your mother, what do you say to be so polite, and I don't know who you can learn this false etiquette from......"
There was also a trace of weirdness flashing in her heart, her daughter was crazy and stupid, not to mention it, this etiquette rule, but how could it be?
However, this thought was quickly put to the back of his mind, because Xiaoying came to report that Bai Bingxiong's father and son had returned.
Watching Mrs. Bai hurriedly go out, Xu Chenghuan remembered what Bai Bingxiong said, the son of the county order family was injured - it can't be such a coincidence, right?
