Chapter 215: Farewell for the Husband and Wife
Ma Xiuying woke up and found herself in a strange house, except for a new soft bedding on her body, everything else was a little old. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xun Ying guarded the side of the bed like a chicken pecking rice, and a red candle lit up and burned on the wall, pulling out a virtual and real shadow on the wall.
Ma Xiuying saw that there seemed to be a burned candle next to the red candle, and the candle oil flowed on the table, it was estimated that it was very late at this hour, she didn't want to alarm Xunying, and planned to get up quietly to find water to drink, but as soon as she moved, there was a heart-wrenching pain in her abdomen, which made her moan and quickly lie down again.
"Master, are you awake?" Xun Ying opened his eyes and hurriedly stood up, "Where are you uncomfortable, the slave maid went to invite Mrs. Wu." ”
Ma Xiuying hurriedly called her, "Don't alarm others in the middle of the night, get me some water." ”
"You wait. Sunshadow walked out of the room and went outside and whispered orders.
After a while, the pink lotus and the green willow brought two cups of black liquid, and you could smell the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine from afar.
Xun Ying took it and carefully put it on the cabinet, and handed the other cup to Ma Xiuying, "This cup is the fetal medicine prescribed by Mrs. Wu, and the other cup is a tonic medicine, Madam, drink it while it's hot." ”
Ma Xiuying touched the warm wall of the cup, and said to the two maids with heavy dark circles: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest for a while." Tell Bai Ling and Zijuan to rest and they don't have to keep vigil. ”
"Madame, it's fine. With heartfelt smiles on the tired faces of Pink Lotus and Green Willow, they were all relieved to see Ma Xiuying wake up.
From childhood to adulthood, Ma Xiuying hates taking medicine the most, but for the sake of the child, she can go to the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire. She blew on the steaming potion, pinched her nose and drank it all, so bitter that she couldn't speak.
Fortunately, Xunying knew her habits and hurriedly handed over a candied fruit.
Ma Xiuying took the candied fruit in her mouth and looked around, "Where is this? How long have I been asleep?"
"You've slept all day, and this is the riverhead fort near Quarry Rock. Originally, we were going to Jiuzhou, but Mrs. Wu said that you are too weak to work, so the lord will temporarily borrow a private house here, let us stay in the riverhead fort for a month, and wait for your body to recover before going over. Xun Ying said reluctantly, as if she was unhappy about something.
"Where's the master?" Ma Xiuying asked, the one she was most eager to see was Zhu Yuanzhang.
Xun Ying pouted, "The lord didn't stay here, the battle ahead was urgent, and he led the army to Jiuzhou." Alas, except for Mrs. Wu, the families of the other officials all left with the army. ”
"He's gone. Ma Xiuying couldn't hide her disappointment in her voice. Although she knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to lead the troops to fight, she still hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang could accompany her when she was at her weakest.
"Not only did the old man leave, but Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Tian, Mrs. Lian, and Mrs. Hui also left with the old man, and Mrs. Hui also took the old lady away. Xun Ying paused, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, Ma Xiuying had an accident, and the people in the house actually ran away, "Hmph! The old man is busy with military affairs and can't take a break, what do they have to be busy with, they usually treat your sister and sister short, when you really have something to do, they run away, but Aunt Li is willing to take the initiative to stay and take care of you." ”
"Pink lotus, green willow, go get me some hot water, I'm going to wipe my body. Ma Xiuying separated the two maids and smiled indifferently, "They call me sister because I am ahead of them, I am pregnant, they are not in a hurry? She didn't mention the Wang family and the Tian family, the two sisters-in-law were very unhappy with her because of Guo Hui's entry into the door, and it was reasonable that they didn't want to stay and take care of her at the moment.
Xun Ying blushed, "The slave and maid have said that they will not marry, and the master, you are laughing at the slave and maid." Besides, Aunt Li is not childless, so she is willing to stay with you. In the end, it's someone who has been with you for many years, unlike those two ......" She couldn't hide her words in front of Ma Xiuying, she used to think that Li Qi'er was not good, but compared with the wayward Guo Ninglian and the domineering Guo Hui, Li Qi'er suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye.
"It's rare that she has a heart," Ma Xiuying sighed with emotion, "Can she and Mrs. Wu be arranged?"
"Well, she and Mrs. Wu stayed here until dark, and when they saw that you were still asleep, they went back to their rooms to rest. ”
"This time thanks to Mrs. Wu. Ma Xiuying suddenly changed her words, showed embarrassment, and said: "Help me up, I want to make it easier for ......."
Xun Ying was prepared, took out a jar out of nowhere, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wu said that you can't get out of bed, so it's convenient for you to be on the bed." ”
"This ......" Ma Xiuying was so ashamed that she wanted to die, except for wetting the bed when she was a child, who still peed in bed when she grew up, but when she sat up slightly, her lower abdomen ached, she didn't dare to toss anymore, gritted her teeth, and stumbled in the quilt.
Xun Ying disposed of the jar, returned to the room, and saw Ma Xiuying staring at the roof motionless in a daze, and asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong?"
"Fortunately, the child is fine, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to meet the starling. Ma Xiuying lowered her eyelids and sighed leisurely. If you put your mind on the war before, you will be afraid when you think about it. If this child dies because of her carelessness, she wants to die.
At the mention of this, Xun Ying's expression also became very serious, and his tone was slightly reproachful, "Master, you are too careless, if you listen to the slave and maid and leave the building boat first, where will this kind of accident occur?"
"How can I leave a boatload of people and run for my life?"
Then you shouldn't use any artillery, it's dangerous. ”
"If it weren't for the artillery that blocked the enemy's attack, maybe the enemy would have boarded the ship. ”
Xun Ying was so angry that his nostrils smoked, and he didn't even care about honorifics, and choked like a cannon: "Yes, yes, you are great, you are brave, you have saved a boatload of people, but what about yourself? If it weren't for the fact that your body and bones are good, and the child is blessed with a great life, otherwise, ...... You're like this, those women haven't patted their butts and walked away, who really cares about your life and death. I'm almost scared to death, if it weren't for Mrs. Wu saying that you were just tired and sleepy, I, I ......" Speaking of this, the little girl couldn't help but cry bitterly. At that moment, she felt that the sky was ruined, and she couldn't wait to replace Ma Xiuying with herself.
"Shadow, I'm worried about you. Ma Xiuying's expression was gloomy, gently stroked her lower abdomen, and murmured: "Baby, mother is sorry for you, mother will never do anything to hurt you in the future." ”
Xun Ying wiped away her tears, rolled her eyes, and muttered, "It's really hard-mouthed, and I regret it now." ”
Ma Xiuying was pitiful and coquettish, "Good shadow, I'm a patient, don't think about it anymore, it gives me a headache when I hear it." ”
Xun Ying was scared enough this time that she unknowingly suffered from "verbose syndrome", chattering like an old mother, "Then you can't be so careless in the future." There are also Mrs. Lian and Mrs. Hui, neither of whom are really good to you, so don't be too good to them in the future. Especially Mrs. Hui, when she heard that you had an accident, she quietly showed a very happy appearance, thinking that no one could see it, I really don't know how the master likes this kind of bad woman, you have to guard against her in the future......"
"Oops, oops, my stomach hurts. In desperation, Ma Xiuying had to pretend to be in pain to divert her attention.
Xun Ying really stopped complaining, and asked anxiously, "Then what should I do?" Don't move, the slave will call Mrs. Wu now." ”
"You don't make any noise, just let me lie quietly for a while. In fact, after drinking the medicine, a warmth welled up in my stomach, and it was not as painful as before, but Ma Xiuying didn't want to listen to these nagging and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Xun Ying opened his mouth wide and grinded his teeth vigorously, but finally swallowed back the grumbling in his stomach, and sat sullenly at the head of the bed without saying a word.
Ma Xiuying said sorry to Xunying in her heart, she knew that Xunying would not lie to her, and what Xunying said was for her good, but she couldn't let Xunying continue.
In any case, Guo Ninglian and Guo Hui are Zhu Yuanzhang's wives, and it is already transgressive for Xun Ying to talk about the master as a person. Moreover, as the housewife, she must be generous and must keep the family harmonious. If it is a family that intrigues all day long, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to stand it, even she can't bear it, so some things can only be turned into small things, and small things can be turned into nothing, as long as it does not damage the interests of Zhu Yuanzhang and her, she is too lazy to care.
However, this does not mean that Ma Xiuying does not have a scale in her heart, just like Xun Ying said, Li Qi'er is also not pregnant but can take the initiative to stay and take care of her, and she will not forget this friendship.
Li Qi'er in the next room also never fell asleep, her fingers ran over her flat lower abdomen, imagining that she was pregnant. Ma Xiuying is really blessed with a great life, and she can still keep the child in such a serious situation, but it's a pity......
If it was before, she was not so worried that she would lose Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, because she was more beautiful than Ma Xiuying, she believed that as long as a normal man was in bed, he would choose her and abandon Ma Xiuying. But with the entry of Guo Ninglian and Guo Hui, her self-confidence slowly collapsed. These two fox spirits who are also charming and seductive are snatching her position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart little by little.
Guo Ninglian's arrogance is innocent in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes; Guo Hui is Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite woman; Ma Xiuying's pregnancy makes her original wife's status unshakable; only she, a concubine born of a maid, can have what ability and qualifications to compete with these three people?
Now Li Qi'er's only hope is to be able to conceive a child and give birth to a boy in one fell swoop, so that the mother can rely on the son.
When Guo Ninglian and Guo Hui were competing to go to Jiuzhou with Zhu Yuanzhang, she also had intentions, but she thought about it again and again and decided to do the opposite and volunteered to stay and take care of Ma Xiuying. Because she knew that she couldn't compete with Guo Ninglian and Guo Hui, she went to Jiuzhou and kept the empty house alone. It's better to sell a favor to Ma Xiuying, so that Ma Xiuying can thank her for her goodness, and what Ma Xiuying said in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear at that time will be much more useful than what she said. Losing the opportunity to sleep once or twice, but in exchange for a long-term opportunity, she will not suffer no loss.
