Chapter 287: The Newly Appointed Mother-in-law
A few people who were surrounding the children outside were startled, and then they remembered Sheng Weiqiao, and hurriedly scolded the doctor and others not far away: "What are you doing in a daze?! Why don't you hurry up and go in and see the princess of the county?!"
Simply Sheng Weiqiao fainted after exhaustion, and several doctors asked for a pulse together, and after repeatedly reassuring her that she was okay, Xuan Yu Feng reluctantly put his mind at ease, watched Wen Po scrub her niece's body, put on a clean and soft bedding and place it, and asked someone to light a furnace of benzoin before exiting the delivery room.
At this time, I noticed that my shirt had already been wet with sweat, and my face was sweat and tears, and the bun had long been loose, and even the hairpin had fallen off only two sticks.
She wiped her face with her sleeve, and whispered to her maid to fetch water to clean up, and took advantage of this to say, "Where is the child? I haven't seen it since I landed!"
Zhao Shi said this, including Wu Da and others, who had always had a good relationship with her, were very embarrassed.
From the moment they heard the baby's cry, they all thought that there was a successor to Rong Sleeping Crane, and it was the male heir in the proverb, although he was born prematurely, he didn't look like he wouldn't live long...... In short, it is ready-made that can be packaged as a noble son and make a show for the sleeping crane.
But I didn't expect Sheng Weiqiao at all.
At this time, Xuan Yu Feng opened his mouth, and Zhao Shi said curtly: "Xiao Shizi is in the next room, and they asked someone to clean it up...... The old lady went to take a look, just to help see what was wrong? After all, the female guards are all girls who have not been out of the cabinet, and they are not as knowledgeable and experienced as you. ”
He originally wanted to ease the atmosphere when he said this, but Xuan Yu Feng said without raising his eyelids: "Where do I need to worry about Xiao Shizi's affairs? I care more about him, but it is my Qiao'er, since the ground, when has it not been a thousand favors in one? Unfortunately, I have struggled for two days and one night before giving birth, except for my aunt, even the doctor Wenpo is said to leave! I went in to take a look at the child, and when she woke up, I could tell her about it...... As for Xiao Shizi, please worry about it!"
Zhao Shi was suddenly embarrassed, and wanted to say something, but Xuan Yu Feng had already turned around and entered the next room.
She also said that she could do it, and she looked at the child next to the cradle, and she didn't have much favorite expression throughout the whole process, turned her head and fetched water, and hastily freshened up under the corridor, followed back to the room to change her dress, and re-entered the delivery room, with a posture of wanting to guard her niece in person.
"We are confused, we actually ignored the princess of the county!" Zhao Shi saw this situation, and discussed with the head of Wu and Xu Lianshan, "It's no wonder that Old Madam Feng is angry at this time! ”
How did they rack their brains next and not say anything, and said that Sheng Weiqiao heard a surprise "Xiao Shizi" come out when he was exhausted, and he almost fainted on his heels.
It took a day and a night to wake up, and when I woke up, I opened my eyes and saw my aunt Xuanyu Feng curled up at her feet, her head lowered, her head little by little, if it weren't for the couch post behind her, I was afraid that I would have fallen to the foot on my feet.
"Aunt?" she whispered, "why are you staying here yourself?
Xuan Yu Feng was excited, opened his eyes, looked at his niece's complexion, and said with a smile: "Don't talk yet! Although I fed you a few mouthfuls of water this day and night, I was always too tired before, look at my voice this time!"
He asked, "How do you feel now?" and if you feel uncomfortable, you nodded. ”
As he spoke, he got up, went to the table next to him, picked up a small silver kettle, poured most of the bowl, and handed it to Sheng Weiqiao: "This is the chicken soup that has just been boiled in the kitchen, you drink some strength first." ”
Sheng Weiqiao drank two sips of chicken soup, felt that his throat was moistened a lot, and tried to speak: "It's still a little uncomfortable, but it's much better than before...... Well, aunt, why are you so ugly? Have you been here all along?"
She frowned, "I slept for a day and a night, why didn't anyone change it with you?"
Xuan Yu shook his face unceremoniously in front of Zhao Shi before Feng Shi, but in front of Sheng Weiqiao, he didn't leak a drop of secret, and only smiled: "Who said that no one wants to change with me? Isn't this worrying! Since you wake up and don't cry or make trouble, then I will go back to the house and sleep well in a while...... By the way, while you are in the spirits now, why don't you take the child over and take a look?"
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly said: "If you don't say it, I forgot it...... Hurry up and hug me and take a look! I didn't even bother to look at it before!"
After a while, the anxious nurse came in with her swaddling clothes, and Xiao Shizi was matched with a total of four nurses, because Nanfeng County was far away from northern Xinjiang, and the doctor and Wenpo could arrive in advance, and the nurse would be more troublesome, even if it was pinching the days, but after a long journey, the milk would not be too child-friendly, so it was selected by Zhao Shi from the nearest confidants.
Due to the attack before Xuanyu Feng's, Zhao Shi not only personally curried favor for a while, but also repeatedly told the four nurses to be good at childbirth and not to slack off. The nurse was a little scared at the moment, for fear that she would do something wrong.
It's just that her appearance made Sheng Weiqiao suspicious, and after taking the child with a little difficulty, she insisted on untying the swaddling clothes, looking left and right, and forced the child to wake up and listen to the crying for a while, before she wondered: "The child seems to be ...... Nothing?"
Xuan Yu Feng didn't close his eyes much because he had been with her for three days and two nights, he was really tired, and when he saw Sheng Weiqiao taking over the child, he wanted not to disturb the intimacy between the novice mother and the child, so he sat on the embroidered stool next to the table, closed his eyes and rested.
When he heard his nephew's cry, he opened his eyes, and when he heard the words, he was speechless: "Look at my determined appearance, you should also know that the child is fine, what kind of suspicion is this...... Hmm, why is it so hard to take this child?"
Halfway through the words, I also noticed the trembling appearance of the nurse, that is, frowning, "What kind of face are you?"
"It's the first time a woman has seen the princess of the county, so she ......" The nurse was already very nervous, but she was startled when she saw this, and she saluted indiscriminately, and said cautiously, "The woman didn't mean it! The little prince is very well-behaved, and his body is also strong, and he will be able to grow into a great husband like the king of the county in the future!"
Sheng Weiqiao was easy to speak, seeing her scared look, she was busy with a few words, while talking, she wanted to rewrap the swaddling clothes, but the child was originally fed by the nurse, so she fell asleep, and she was forced to wake up, and at this time she cried and cried, and her hands and feet tried to struggle.
Before being a mother-in-law, it was difficult to give birth, so that he lost his strength, although he slept for a long time at this time, but he did not recover for a while, and he couldn't control him, so he hurriedly coped with it for a while, so he had to call the nurse: "You come to get him well, so as not to catch a cold!"
Seeing that the nurse quickly wrapped the child up again, holding and comforting softly, Zhao Shi must have spent a lot of effort to choose before, the posture of the nurse holding the child was just right, and the coaxing was immediate, the child who was crying in Sheng Weiqiao's hands was in her hands, and it didn't take long for her to gradually lower her voice, and she fell asleep again when she looked at it.
The culprit secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if throwing a hot potato, and quickly said, "You can take him to settle down...... I haven't recovered yet, I'm too busy to take care of myself, and I'll stay with him next time. ”
As she spoke, the maid outside had already gone to the kitchen to spread the word, and a mother-in-law came in with a food box, and spread a small table on the couch to facilitate Sheng Weiqiao's meal.
Xuan Yu Feng said that he would go back to the room immediately, but he didn't mean to leave at this time, but asked someone to serve him a bowl of bijiao rice porridge, sat on the edge of the couch with his robe, and used it with his niece, and teased: "Look at your helpless look at the child! At that time, your grandmother happily hugged you to her, but she was a mother for the first time, and she couldn't hold the child, so she was uncomfortable and cried. She was in a hurry, and she didn't know what to do, so she cried too, crying and saying to your grandmother, 'Mother, look at her, look at her'!"
"You made your grandmother cry and laugh, and asked her, 'What's the matter, you made my heart and liver cry, and you want me to help you beat her! ”
"I'm not looking at the timid look of the nurse, thinking that there is nothing wrong with not being a child. Sheng Weiqiao explained, "Then I untied the swaddling clothes and looked at it, but I didn't find anything inappropriate, so I wanted to see if he was dumb and ......."
"Bah, bab, you're so childlike, how can you say that you're a son?!" Xuan Yu Feng was displeased, "Besides, you're really stupid...... Even if you hadn't had time to look at him with your own eyes before, you would have heard the cry, right? That crying is like a normal child, what can be the problem? So, what else do you want to pinch him? It's also a shame that your father and mother are not there, otherwise I have to beat you up in distress!"
Sheng Weiqiao snorted: "If they were here, they wouldn't beat me......! That's what you told me, aunt!"
After these words were spoken, both aunts and nephews were silent for a moment.
After a while, Sheng Weiqiao said quietly: "I miss my father." ”
"Who doesn't want to?" Xuan Yu Feng sighed, "When you hold my hand and say that you can't bear it, why don't I want your grandfather and grandmother to be here, even if they are helpless, seeing your parents in front of you, I always feel that my heart has settled down? You stupid child, now you know the fate of marrying far away? This is still your father loves you very much, so I will accompany you for thousands of miles." Otherwise, what is the situation of your production this time...... I don't know what it would be like if I didn't have a parent, I don't even dare to think about it!"
Speaking of the last sentence, thinking of the situation where Zhao Shi and others surrounded the child and left Sheng Weiqiao behind, his eyes turned cold.
Although they understand intellectually, whether it is Zhao Shi or Xu Lianshan, including Wu Da, who has a good personal relationship with their aunt and nephew, the reason why they rushed to the other courtyard to worry about Sheng Weiqiao's dystocia is because they are all people from Rong Sleeping Crane's faction.
It is not only the master mother and the young master who are concerned, but also the entire Rong Sleeping Crane faction, or their own future.
When it comes to his personal feelings for Sheng Weiqiao, he is not very deep in the end.
But Xuan Yu Feng has never been a generous person, and he couldn't help but sneer secretly at this time: "If I hadn't been here, Qiao'er would have had a difficult birth, and they would have given up Qiao'er and saved the child by breaking their abdomen and taking the child, right?"
After all, from the perspective of Rong Sleeping Crane's subordinates, even if Sheng Weiqiao is gone, she has her own flesh and blood left, even if the three families of Nanfeng County are dissatisfied, for the sake of this child, they have to make compromises!
Such an approach is cruel, but from the perspective of interests, it is better than one corpse and two lives!
However, these words were announced to Feng Shi and did not plan to tell Sheng Weiqiao for the time being, it was not that she decided to rot in her stomach, but that she was afraid that it would affect Sheng Weiqiao's confinement and cause some chronic illness.
When this niece is out of confinement, it doesn't matter, she has to take a good look at her life!
And Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what was going on, and when he heard the words, he thought that his aunt was just feeling sorry for herself, thinking of the collapse when she couldn't give birth to a child before, her face was a little embarrassed, and she changed the topic: "After I just entered the delivery room, I seem to have heard my aunt tell someone to track down the little maid who told Yishan about things? What did you ask? Or is it a misunderstanding?"
