Chapter 349: Eventful
After the winter solstice, there were two heavy snowfalls. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But between the heavens and the earth, the vast white expanse, the mountains, rivers and fields, are all wrapped in silver, and the branches on the roofs have been covered with thick snow, and they can't see their original appearance, and the snow is not up to the knees, and it is more than a foot deep.
The north wind was whistling, the sky was cold, and the water was splashed into ice.
Zheng Sui rarely went out except for a few trips to the plum garden in the west.
A few days ago, Changshi Tan Yuan's wife Gao came over and proposed: Taking advantage of the early glow after the snow, the plum Rui in the mansion is competing to bloom, and a flower appreciation banquet can be held in the plum garden, and the officials in Xuzhou Mansion are invited to participate.
It's just that Zheng Sui is pregnant, his spirit is not good, and he is often sleepy, if he holds a flower-viewing banquet, he will inevitably bother the Gao family, besides, there is still a person in the house who is about to give birth, so he stopped thinking.
"It's snowing outside again?"
"Not really. Xiao Rong came in from outside with a few plum branches, handed them to Morphyr, and asked her to help hold them.
Then, he stretched out his hand to pat the snowflakes on his body, and fluttered the hair on his forehead, "It's only been sunny for two days, and it's starting to fall again, I don't know when this ghost weather will get better, the plum trees that are newly planted in winter over there have been crushed by the snow two or three, I just told the gardener to send more people to clear the snow sooner or later." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Rong turned around and took out the plum branches that had been planted a few days ago in the long-necked pink butterfly flower, and put a few newly picked plum branches into it.
Plum blossom before waxing, plum blossom after the year.
At present, the weather is very cold, and the plum blossoms in the plum garden that are budding will not bloom until the next year.
Fortunately, the house is warm, Xiao Rong goes to fold the plum branch every few days, puts it in the flower goose, and raises it for half a day, and the plum on the branch will bloom naturally, exuding a faint fragrance.
Because Zheng Sui likes it, Xiao Rong went to the plum garden to work a lot.
She doesn't worry about others, and she always goes by herself.
Chenfeng wanted to come forward to help, but seeing that Xiao Rong had skillfully inserted a bottle, he put his hand down, "We have only a few plum trees here, and it is worth complaining about, I heard that the situation outside is not good." ”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rong asked, "Who is coming?"
"Qi Xing and An Chang are inside, and Fifth Uncle Qi is also here. ”
Xiao Rong showed a strange expression on his face, "How did they talk to the lady about these things, the general has instructed the lady not to worry about the outside affairs." ”
"You know, Wen Weng was here last night. Chenfeng spread his hands, looking helpless.
As soon as he heard Wen Weng, Xiao Rong was speechless.
I heard the morning breeze moaning again: "We should worry about ourselves, I'm afraid that this winter is going to be sad, and the lady plans to donate all the surplus grain and the remaining cloth on the Xuzhou Zhuangzi to the surrounding poor households." ”
Xiao Rong looked at Chenfeng with a desperate expression, and couldn't help exaggerating, and suddenly felt funny, "It's not that I haven't experienced this situation." ”
The Zheng family is a big family in Xingyang, as long as there is a natural disaster, the Zheng family or put grain to open a shed for disaster relief, or give corn cloth to the poor people in the territory, but the annual harvest of grain is always certain, since you want to relieve people outside, your own family, can only reduce meals and do not make clothes, in order to spend the disaster year together.
When times of hardship, the patriarch will take the lead in frugality and simplicity.
The reputation of the Zheng family, somewhat because of this move, has become famous and is known to the world.
"I don't know how many years of the old yellow calendar, you still remember. The morning breeze gave Xiao Rong a white look, except when he was very young, and later, there was surplus food at home.
Right now, Zheng Sui has just taken over Zhuangzi, how much remainder can there be.
Xiao Rong ignored it, and only said: "Sister Xin Yi also said yesterday that the flower viewing banquet can not be held, but the lady's birthday is going to be held, and it will soon be the beginning of the lunar month, and the general should come back." ”
When Chenfeng said this, his tone was a little narrow, "I should have come back earlier, or the one who doesn't know the sound hall won't dare to give birth." ”
"You don't make random arrangements, I went home and heard my sister-in-law say that when you are pregnant in October, the child lands early and late, but according to experience, most of the people who land early are male babies, and most of the people who are born later are female babies. ”
"In this way, that Shengsheng suffocated a little Langjun into a little girl. ”
Chenfeng's words are a little lacking in morality, but Xiao Rong doesn't look down on the little family spirit of Qingyintang, since the lady agrees to let her give birth to a child, she is still so careful and guarded, and she doesn't want to think about it, the lady really doesn't let her give birth, what can her defense do, tear her face, and there are ways to make her unable to give birth.
It's just borrowing her belly, according to the rules of the Zheng family, whether she is born a master or a slave depends on the meaning of the master's mother.
Let's say that Qi Wu and the other three stayed in Zhengyi Courtyard for a whole afternoon, and it was not until it was dark that a charter was discussed.
When the matter of discussing the donation was coming to an end, Qi Wu asked, "The Zhuangzi next to the Luling Tomb should donate the rest of the grain and cloth." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Sui couldn't help but groan, because the Zhuangzi field was less, less than forty hectares, and it was far away, she didn't care much for a while, "Let the people in charge of the Zhuangzi clean up the surplus grain, I will send a letter to the fifth brother, if the Zheng family needs it, you can go there to allocate it." ”
"Yui. Qi Wu responded, took the written charter handed over by An Chang, and handed it to Zheng Sui.
Zheng Sui stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it carefully, and bowed his head, "Do this first, and then we will arrange the rest when Lang Jun comes back." ”
The three of them responded in unison.
Zheng Sui saw that it was already the time to hold the lamp, so he left for dinner, and the three of them left after dinner.
As soon as they left, Zheng Sui couldn't support it, moved his body, and leaned on the hidden sac behind him.
Zhong Nan handed over a cup of warm honey water, and Xin Yi took a hidden sac behind her, "Madame is too willful today, now that she is pregnant, she is obviously not in good spirits, she should send them back first, no matter how urgent it is, there is also a priority, and now nothing is more important than Madame Shang's body." ”
As he spoke, he squatted down, straightened Zheng Sui's legs, and said, "Lang Jun knows, it's time to train us to take care of it carelessly." ”
Zheng Sui listened to Xin Yi's nagging, a little sleepy and ran away without a trace, and glared at her angrily, "If you don't say it, how can he know? ”
Since the winter solstice, Huan Yu has gone to Nanliang County, almost half a month.
In her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little missing.
Some time ago, even if he didn't speak for a few days, he could meet every day and see him.
Suddenly, I hadn't seen him for so long, under the bright light, my eyes were empty, and my mind was fluttering, and I realized that I missed him very much in my heart.
"Should be back soon. Zheng Sui drank two sips of honey water, and suddenly read such a sentence, his voice was full of loneliness.
After that, she handed the glass cup back to Zhong Nan, tilted her head with her eyes closed, and Ah Zhan and Ah Fang beat her legs.
Xin Yi and Zhong Nan looked at her that she was going to rest, so Xin Yi went to call for hot water and arrange for washing, Zhong Nan came forward to remove the hairpin ring for her, put down her long hair, and took a fine grate to grate her hair.
When the morning breeze came in from outside, he saw that the room was extremely quiet, and he was about to think that Zheng Sui had fallen asleep, but he heard her ask: "How is Qingyin Hall doing?
Chenfeng hurriedly said, "Back to the lady, there is no movement, and the doctor over there also replied that there is no sign of any activation." ”
"Still don't want the doctor to see?" Zheng Suimo rubbed the green jade flute that had just been taken off his head, feeling a little impatient in his heart, Li Xue's due date had already passed for several days, but there was no movement at all to give birth.
Chenfeng hummed softly, "The maid invited the Shen doctor in the house to come over, and she didn't want to look at it." ”
"If you don't look at it, you won't look at it," Zheng Sui suddenly sat up straight, "Except for Mr. Song, the other four doctors in the house are waiting in shifts, and tell those doctors and women that they will work hard for a few more days and be more attentive, and their rewards will be indispensable if the child is born safely." ”
Chenfeng answered, and seeing Zheng Sui's sleepy face, he said what Xiao Rong's sister-in-law said.
When Zheng Sui heard this, he didn't care, and then shook his head, "Since I let her give birth, I don't care if she gives birth to a son or a daughter." As he spoke, he got up with Zhong Nan's hand, and turned his head sideways to tell Chenfeng, "You don't care, as long as their mother and son are safe, I don't want to have a bad name, let alone the daughter of the Zheng family to have this notoriety." ”
"The servant understands. ”
Chenfeng gave Zheng Sui a stern gaze and hurriedly agreed.
Since she knew that the general didn't care much about that child, she stopped thinking about it, and most of the time she had the mentality of watching a play.
Zheng Sui was extremely sleepy, and because he sat for too long in the afternoon, his waist was a little sore, under the service of Xin Yi and Zhongnan, he went into the inner room to rest before three o'clock, so that Huan Yuxu returned to the house at the first moment, and when he entered the Zhengyi Courtyard at the second moment, there were only sporadic lights left in the Zhengyi Courtyard, and the snow in the courtyard at night shone brightly, and it became more and more quiet.
Huan Yu took off the color-reducing cloak on his body, except for a jacket, and asked softly, "Rested so early?"
"Madame didn't sleep at noon or afternoon, and at night there was nothing to do, so she went to bed a little early. Xin Yi took the cloak and jacket and hung them on a hanger behind the screen.
Huan Yu snorted, turned around and went to the inner room to take a look at Zheng Sui first.
In the Jiuhua tent, Baizi was under the quilt, probably because the room was too hot, a white arm was exposed, the face was more and more rounded, and the sleeping state was extremely simple, but it was cute and cute, Huan Yu leaned over and put her arm back under the brocade quilt, and covered the quilt for her, so she went to bathe and freshen up.
These days, he stayed in Huan Feng's barracks, and after he went out, he didn't bathe.
Originally, I planned to come in after freshening up in the outer courtyard, but I just wanted to see her earlier, so I hurriedly explained to Tan Yuan and came over.
Fortunately, this girl has already slept, otherwise, she would have to dislike her.
It's just that this night seems to be destined to be unstable.
As soon as Huan Yu finished cleaning up, as soon as his head fell on his pillow, he heard movement outside, "What's the matter?"
Because Huan Yu's voice was very low, Ah Yan's voice on duty was frightened a little lower, "There is news from Qingyin Hall...... The Snow Lady is about to give birth. ”
Huan Yu was a little surprised, and looked at Zheng Sui, who turned down slightly, and after a while, there was no movement, and then he walked out of the inner room lightly.
As soon as he got out of the inner room, seeing that Huan Yu's face was not very good, Ah Yu hurriedly explained, "Madame told her before that if there was any movement in Qingyin Hall, tell her." ”
"It's almost midnight, it's the same to tell me tomorrow morning, you go and tell the messenger, ask Dr. Shen to come over, let the midwife and the doctor serve well, and report anything tomorrow morning." ”
"Yui. Ah Zhan replied with a shudder, and hurriedly withdrew.
She finally understood why the morning wind, which had always been bold, avoided the general. (To be continued.) )
