Guo Hui's face was pale, and he wanted to embarrass Ma Xiuying at the chrysanthemum banquet, but he put himself in, especially the crabs that he spent so much money on, and in the end, he couldn't eat a single one.

She was so angry that she turned her head to leave, Ma Xiuying said: "Guo Xia stop!" ”

"What's wrong with my maid?" Guo Hui was angry, could it be that Ma Xiuying humiliated her enough and wanted to make her angry?

Ma Xiuying ignored her and asked Guo Xia directly, "Did you trip Mrs. Tan?" ”

"Ahh Not a slave! Guo Xia hurriedly denied it, secretly shocked, how did Ma Xiuying know that she was making trouble?

Guo Hui said angrily: "Sister, it's obvious that the Tan family fell down by herself, why do you accuse my maid?" If you are angry with me, come at me, and do not embarrass my maid. ”

Is this going to give her a reputation for being a bully? Ma Xiuying looked at the two of them, smiled contemptuously, and warned in a deep voice, "Guo Xia, I'll give you a confessional meeting, if you still don't admit it, I'll call the people who were around you at the time one by one to ask, so many pairs of eyes, I don't believe that no one saw your little movements!" ”

In case someone really sees it, Guo Xia is a thief and doesn't dare to deny it anymore, so she said: "Maybe the slave maid accidentally hung up Mrs. Tan with her feet, but the slave maid didn't mean it." ”

"Ahh Guo Hui was taken aback, she didn't expect that Tan's fall was really done by Guo Xia, and now she couldn't open her mouth to defend Guo Xia, and complained in her heart that Guo Xia didn't discuss things with her, so that she couldn't get off the stage in front of Ma Xiuying.

"Whether you intentionally or unintentionally, you should be punished for tripping over Madame Tan at a banquet and disturbing the guests. Come, drag this reckless servant down with a rod of twenty, and execute it at once! Ma Xiuying ordered sharply. She is not the Virgin, Guo Hui and Guo Xia have been troubled several times at the chrysanthemum banquet, if they don't teach the master and servant a lesson, I'm afraid that these two people will really treat her as a soft persimmon.

As for Guo Hui, Ma Xiuying disdains her, she has a big belly and is not good at punishment, so she should save some face for Zhu Yuanzhang, presumably those baskets of crabs can also make her heart stuff for a while.

In fact, Guo Xia's punishment was enough to make Guo Xia unable to go out. Who in the house doesn't know that Guo Xia is her henchman, and now she has been really caned by Ma Xiuying with twenty sticks, it seems that she is beating the girl's fart, but who is actually hitting her face, everyone knows it.

The chrysanthemum banquet was just held, and the ladies were not diligent in visiting, and the palace was finally clean for a while.

Ma Xiuying took out a group of servants who were stealing and playing tricks and acting for the tiger, especially the fact that Guo Xia was beaten so much that she couldn't get out of bed played a role in killing chickens and monkeys.

Guo Hui saw Guo Xia's fart and flesh blurred, and she was so scared that she couldn't sleep well for a few days and nights, she knew that Ma Xiuying was serious, and she suddenly became honest, her words and deeds were much more regular than before, at least she would take the initiative to bow her head and salute when she saw Ma Xiuying.

Seeing that Guo Hui was restrained, Ma Xiuying no longer supervised the backyard and focused on her son and husband.

This time, she specially sent guards to escort Zhu Fan and Zhu Di to school every day, and if the two dared to skip school, they would have to have a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots. Although she will feel distressed after the fight, she is really ruthless when she fights, and the bruises and bruises can't be erased for a few days.

After a period of training, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di are finally much more obedient than before. However, Song Lian was very sad about them, and insisted on teaching Zhu Biao alone, so Zhu Yuanzhang rearranged the Confucian master Li Xiyan as a teacher for the two children. Zhu Di also reached the time of enlightenment, Zhu Yuanzhang did not favor one over the other, and also invited him to the bachelor Long Wenyuan.

Life is smooth, husband and wife are harmonious, and the son is obedient, except for Zhu Biao who is not around, everything is developing in the direction that Ma Xiuying is satisfied with.

The congratulatory gifts of the chrysanthemum banquet were successively replaced by military supplies and sent to the front line, and the Western Wu army fought everywhere, almost invincible, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, and every time he went back to his home to share the good news with Ma Xiuying, he would joke that Ma Xiuying had a share of the credit for laying down the country.

The two were talking and laughing, when suddenly the maid Lu Ji of the Yan clan stumbled and said, "Lord Wang, princess, it's not good, the Yu'an people have had a miscarriage." ”

The two of them were shocked at the same time, the Yan family usually lives in a simple house, and there are special people to serve the diet, how can they have a miscarriage?

I only heard Lu Ji crying: "The people of Yo'an ate the old duck barley pot today, and it didn't take long for it to bleed, and the doctor came to say that it was because the barley caused the Anren to have a miscarriage, and the child could not be saved." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang kicked over, "Why do you want to give the Yu'an people an old duck barley pot?" ”

Lu Ji didn't dare to hide, and said after taking this kick: "Last time at the chrysanthemum banquet, the princess said that the old duck barley pot has the effect of nourishing the face and nourishing the stomach. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying was stunned, did she still rely on her for this? The words were said by Mrs. Wu, but she didn't want Mrs. Wu to be punished by Zhu Yuanzhang for this matter, so she admitted, "I did say it, but I didn't expect that pregnant women would be like this after eating barley, no matter what, it's important to go and see Yu'an people first." Xun Ying went to invite Mrs. Wu over. ”

As soon as the couple came to the courtyard of the Yan family, they heard a terrible cry, and the usually quiet and virgin Yan was as crazy as a crazy woman, with her hair scattered, and she wept bitterly, "Child, my child! ”

Several servants tried desperately to dissuade her, but she was still at a loss, and her mouth was just repeating "child, child".

Lu Ji threw herself in front of the bed, "Anren, wake up, the prince and the princess have come to see you." ”

Yan Shi slowly turned his head, saw Zhu Yuanzhang, jumped off the bed and knelt at his feet, "Lord Wang, please save my child, he is really your child!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he fell back in anger, what kind of words is this, could it be that he can't tolerate this child and let him miscarry.

"Anren, don't be like this, Guogong is worried about you!" Lu Ji shook her vigorously, for fear that she would be too sad and talk nonsense, saying something that shouldn't be said.

"Yu'an people, the maid said that you had a miscarriage after eating the old duck barley pot, right?" Ma Xiuying was a little suspicious, she hadn't heard that barley would cause people to have an abortion, if she ate barley, she would have a miscarriage immediately, so people who wanted to have an abortion didn't have to go to the hospital. And there were many pregnant women who ate this dish at the banquet that day, and they didn't see any discomfort, why did Yan Shi have an accident after eating it today? She even suspected that this was a play directed and acted by the master and servant of the Yan clan, in order to prevent the child from being born, but seeing the grief-stricken expression of the Yan clan did not look like a fake, it was really confusing.

Lu Ji hurriedly said: "My family's Anren does bleed when they eat the old duck barley pot, but barley will cause miscarriage is what Doctor Qin said." ”

Doctor Qin is a full-time doctor hired by the palace, and his medical skills and character are among the best in Ying Tianfu, so his words should not be fake. However, Ma Xiuying didn't want to carry the black pot to others at will, so she still called him for questioning.

Doctor Qin said: "Coix seed is a kind of medicine and food homologous thing, sweet, light, cool, return to the spleen, stomach and lung meridians, with the effect of diluting water and dampness, strengthening the spleen and removing paralysis, clearing heat and draining pus, but its quality is smooth, so it may induce miscarriage. ”

Ma Xiuying was impatient and asked, "Do you say that the miscarriage of the Yu'an people has anything to do with barley?" ”
