178, Aunt Mei's secret
I had nothing to say to her, in addition to "eat more", "rest more", "go to bed early", "don't think too much" and other things, and said: "There are some things that I should tell you if I think about it." ”
Say, I've been waiting for you to talk openly and honestly.
Before, Fang Qirui didn't believe her, and he was afraid that the depiction would get darker and darker, He Jiaxian always wanted to wait for Fang Qirui to figure it out by himself, so he didn't find time to explain.
He was finally willing to take the initiative.
"The last time I sent Jiahui to the capital, I noticed something. Fang Qirui spoke.
Well, it's not a rumor?
"What's the matter?" He Jiaxian still asked.
"The family who picked her up is surnamed Mei. Fang Qirui paused: "There is a young man who looks very similar to me. ”
"I stayed one more day and saw that Master Mei. After Fang Qirui finished speaking, he paused: "Aunt Mei told me before, saying that her family is the capital and she is an official, and then she was raided for a crime, and she also fell, I thought, I always thought that she was a petty official......
He Jiaxian saw that the more he spoke, the more solemn his face became, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
"The Mei family, and my aunt's family, are cousins. Fang Qirui still said: "I have been busy investigating this matter these days, and it is not until today that I have some eyebrows, and even have something to do with the He family." ”
He Jiaxian's heart tightened, waiting for Fang Qirui to continue.
"If I check correctly, the original Mei family is my aunt, and her father is Mei Ge Lao, one of the three auxiliary ministers of the previous dynasty. Fang Qirui said eloquently: "Mei Ge Lao didn't know how to disagree with the first emperor's politics, he was convicted and killed, all the men in the family were killed, and the women were exiled. My aunt, who was the eldest granddaughter of the Mei family at that time, was also imprisoned together. ”
After the death of the first emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne, amnesty the world, the aunt who was still in prison was pardoned, reduced to the teaching department, and later transferred to Yanzhou City, was sold as a prostitute, until he met the master. Fang Qirui had tears in his eyes: "So, almost, my maternal ancestor is the Mei family who leaned towards the government and the opposition when the first emperor was there." ”
"What about the He family?" He Jiaxian wondered: "My grandfather used to be an official, but he was just a six-grade petty official. ”
"This six-grade petty official was given by Mei Ge Lao. Old lady He suddenly resigned, I don't know if she was afraid of being implicated? This is all speculation. Fang Qirui was a little distressed: "I found out so much, and it will take time for others to be found." ”
He held He Jiaxian's hand: "I was a little unwilling, and a little scared, I didn't dare to ask Aunt Mei, and I didn't dare to tell you." ”
"If Aunt Mei is the daughter of an ordinary criminal minister, it's fine, it's a big deal to pay some silver to dredge it. But Mei Ge is an important minister of the Son of Heaven!" The more Fang Qirui said, the more annoyed he became: "Such a big case of killing the family......"
"Then the Mei family where you are going?" He Jiaxian tried to comfort him: "Since they are cousins, their family can be fine, which means that the saints are not pursuing it today, and you also said that it was a matter of the period of the first emperor." Besides, later the amnesty was granted to the world, and Aunt Mei was pardoned, not a smuggler......"
"She ......" Fang Qirui was ruthless: "She is a sinner girl and cannot be redeemed." ”
"Aunt Mei told me. It's just that I think it's been a long time, and besides, the household registration system has been changed several times, and it is common for it to be lost, to change its identity, and to make mistakes in the household department. He Jiaxian racked his brains to comfort his nervousness: "Aunt Mei herself is not afraid. ”
Moreover, there are still many joints in the middle that are not understood.
"Even if it is learned, the boss made a mistake when we bit and ransome......"
"Innocent! others don't know, will Aunt Mei still not know her identity and family background?" Fang Qirui was in pain.
The tree is a big move. Aunt Mei's tree was much bigger than he thought.
"Why don't you call Aunt Mei to ask clearly?" He Jiaxian came up with an idea.
"If she wanted to say it, she told me when she was a child, and she wouldn't wait until now. Fang Qirui rejected He Jiaxian's proposal and fell into deep thought.
He Jiaxian saw that he was very distressed, and after thinking about it, he said: "Since the affairs of the previous generation have passed, I see that Aunt Mei only wants to live a safe and smooth life, so let's not know." ”
"How can I think I don't know?" Fang Qirui looked up, but he was not angry: "It turns out that my grandfather's family used to be so brilliant......"
"Fang Qirui!" He Jiaxian saw that he should not have a thought, and shouted angrily: "No matter how brilliant it is, it is the past, it is the old thing." If you really want to talk about it, they are prisoners and criminals as usual...... You only cherish glory and wealth, but you don't know that danger lurks!"
Just like He Shuli is rich and divorced, those money have nothing to do with Chen Li and He Ranran.
Fang Qirui was scolded by her, but after waking up, he muttered: "I'm just unwilling." ”
After checking for a long time, I only sorted out the results tonight, how can I not be frightened and don't want to fork!
No one will be reconciled.
The businessman who has always been despised and the concubine who has been suppressed by the master mother has always thought that it is the inferiority of the descendants of the criminal ministers, and suddenly learned that his status is more noble and prominent than 90% of the people......
But he soon knew that what He Jiaxian said was the truth, no matter how brilliant the Mei family was before, now, they are all criminals, otherwise Aunt Mei would not have to be low-key like that.
Fang Qirui hugged He Jiaxian in his arms: "...... You're right, none of that is true, only my child, my lady is real......"
He Jiaxian saw that he could quickly adjust, and put his head in his arms: "I thought you listened to the rumors and ignored me." ”
"What rumors?" Fang Qirui asked rhetorically.
He Jiaxian didn't know if he asked this on purpose, or if he really didn't hear the wind at all, so he didn't answer anymore.
After surviving the hot summer, entering the early autumn, He Jiaxian is about to give birth.
Chen has been taking care of Fang Qiye, not only for the wound, but also to keep cheering him up and brainwashing him, plus a matchmaker came to Fang Yulu to talk about family affairs, so he was too busy to take care of it.
After Zhou was reprimanded by Master Fang, he went back to his parents' house to live for a while.
Aunt Mei changed her previous style of living in seclusion, and applied to Master Fang for an errand to take care of He Jiaxian's child.
Please stabilize the mother, find a nurse, and so on, she is all busy.
Just after breakfast that day, when He Jiaxian was relieved, he found that he was red, and he hurriedly sent someone to Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei came in person, and only told her to wait quietly for the start.
In the evening, my stomach began to hurt for a while, but it hurt until the morning, and Wen Po came to see it and said, "My aunt, let's make a small voice, it's still early." ”
He Jiaxian collapsed when he heard this.
It's just that there was no caesarean section in ancient times, and there was no way except forbearance.
It hurt until noon, and after Wen Po finally looked at it, she said, "You can use force." Then he called two other helpers, and a maid and a maid, boiling hot water, boiling scissors.
He Jiaxian only felt that someone was priing the bones with a steel drill, and the bone marrow was about to be pulled apart by the corpses of the five horses, and he didn't have any strength in his body, so he shouted: "Force...... ...... force"
After three or four times like this, He Jiaxian was exhausted, but there was no progress.
Aunt Mei came in to take a look and said, "The second master's eyes are red when he is anxious outside." ”
When He Jiaxian heard this, his heart was much firmer, and he exerted his strength again, following the rhythm of Wen Po, one by one, holding the sheets tightly with both hands, pinching them to smash, the green tendons of his hands burst out, and his eyes were red, so he heard the mother-in-law happy: "Hurry up, the head is out." ”
"Whew......" He Jiaxian did his best, and the stable woman shouted in surprise: "It's out." ”
He Jiaxian only felt that his whole body was loose, as if something was flowing out from under his body, and his tense body slowly spread out and softened.
I heard a baby crying in my ears, and Wen Po smiled: "It's a little daughter." ”
Washed and weighed: "Seven catties." ”
Aunt Mei was busy rewarding, and ordered someone to report the good news.
Fang Qirui was slightly stunned when he saw the child, trembling nervously and stretched out his hand to hug him, and was about to enter the room, but Aunt Mei didn't stop him.
He Jiaxian borrowed Fang Qirui's arm and glanced at the child, only to feel that it was wrinkled, his head was pointy, his hair was very thin, and his face was partially red, very ugly, like a monkey, he couldn't help but be shocked, and struggled and said: "Damn, why are you so ugly!"
Fang Qirui also has this question.
Aunt Mei couldn't help laughing: "It's like this when it just came out, just wait for it to grow later." She carefully examined the child's face: "It's a little beauty." ”
That means that she will look like Fang Qirui? He Jiaxian sighed comfortably, it's good to be like a father, a girl is like her father, and she will be beautiful in the future.
She stretched out her finger to tease her cheek, but she spoke to Fang Qirui: "I want to call her Ranran." ”
"Sounds good. Fang Qirui smiled and agreed: "The big name should wait for the master." ”
Fangfu is happy to have a daughter, in the end it is a happy event, He Jiaxian is bored in confinement, but it is autumn, and it is reasonable to cover the bed every day, Jixiang and Hongmei and others keep rushing to make the little doll's clothes, shoes and socks, the nurses do their best to feed, and the rest of the diet and daily life are all checked by Aunt Mei, but nothing went wrong.
During the confinement period, Fang Qirui was coerced by Master Fang and went down again, and his expected name fell to Sun Shan.
Fang Yulu was dissatisfied with her family affairs and lost her temper at home, Zhou went over to persuade her, and was scolded by Fang Yulu a few words, and she was so aggrieved that she cried, and Chen scolded angrily: "Useless things, your sister is not angry, and if she says a few inappropriate words, why is it worth crying?"
Since the miscarriage, Hejing has not been treated well by Chen, but Zhou prefers to ask her to serve with him, and at this moment he said: "Grandma is easy to be sad recently, and she is in a bad mood. Yesterday, I was bumped into by that Qiu'er for a few words, and I was so angry that I cried. ”
Qiu'er is the beauty sent by the Chen family after Hejing's miscarriage.
"Look, do you still look like a big grandmother? Chen thought that Zhou took the opportunity to sue, so he naturally ignored it: "You should pay more attention to the marriage of your fourth sister, don't worry about the money all day long." ”
After Master Fang reprimanded her last time, Chen was angry with Zhou for hiding her, and from time to time he used this to provoke her.
"It's my duty to worry about my fourth sister as a sister-in-law, but I've been unwell recently, so I probably can't. Zhou seemed to have been prepared, and only then did he lower his voice and say, "Daughter-in-law, I am two months pregnant." ”
Chen was surprised, and even Hejing was surprised, Fang Yulu only glanced at him coldly: "You are calm, and you have been talking for two months." Do you think you're too expensive?"
If it was usual, the mother and daughter were shabby with the Zhou family, but today, the Chen family scolded Fang Yulu: "What did you say? It's a happy event that your sister-in-law is pregnant, so why don't you go and ask the doctor to come and see it." ”
Then there was a clever little maid to go.
However, because it was a concubine, the full moon wine was only held at home, and there was no banquet for relatives and friends. The elders of each room gave gifts, and Fang Yuzhu gave a set of pure gold bracelets, He Jiaxian thought it was expensive, so he didn't want it. Fang Yuzhu said: "If I go to the northwest again in the future, I won't be able to see my little niece, I will send it now, don't blame me if I don't send it to you in the future." ”
He Jiaxian had to accept it when he heard it.
The people of the third and fifth rooms also sent gifts.
The widowed lady of the fourth room came over in person and gave a valuable gift comparable to Fang Yuzhu, and after a long greeting, he said: "He wants to worship under Mr. He's door, but Mr. He has never seen him, and he wants to ask the second grandmother to help introduce him." ”
Such enthusiasm is because there is something to ask for.
The fourth lady is widowed, and she has only one son, Fang Qixuan, who is only fifteen years old, and has always wanted to take the path of the career examination, but like Fang Qirui, she passed the children's examination and is still working hard.
He Jiaxian's heart only moved when he heard this, and he thought of the plan that he couldn't tell Master Fang last time, so he asked, "I remember that the two younger brothers in the third uncle's family, and the three younger brothers in the fifth uncle's family, were all enlightened in the academy?"
"yes. The fourth lady smiled: "The eldest brother pays attention to this, and the bundle and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all from the public." She sighed: "You know that we live in the shadow of our ancestors, if we want to do business, we have no capital, but we have to take this road, first, the public support, there is money to spend, in the end there is no need to pay for it; ”
Seeing her so open and honest, He Jiaxian couldn't help but feel good. They don't have much contact, and they don't have any contacts, but they can be outspoken to themselves, which shows that they are bright and upright people.
He Jiaxian, the meaning of the fourth lady, understands: If you can't read it, the silver is from the public, and there is no loss.
He Jiaxian felt more and more that he had guessed that Master Fang's purpose was right, and his mind moved.
said that he was not free for the time being, and he would have to wait for a while before he could return to his parents' house.
The fourth lady thanked her and left.
Out of the confinement, I posted a post from the fourth grandmother, asking her to go over to reminisce about the old days, and also to see the little girl.
He Jiaxian thought of the power of the family, but he had a thought.
The Chen family had to let Fang Yulu go over, He Jiaxian had a truce with her for a long time, and he was much kinder, and Fang Yulu was well-behaved and pitiful, so he agreed to bring it.
After entering the second gate, he got out of the carriage and sat in a sedan chair, and the nurse hugged Xiao Ranran and followed closely behind.
The fourth grandmother was still sitting in a wheelchair, and she grabbed a handful of golden peanuts to play, and couldn't help but tease her for a long time when she saw the cuteness of the dough balls.
It wasn't until the nurse took her out to feed that she remembered He Jiaxian, and when she saw that there was still a Fang Yulu, she rewarded a jade wrench.
Fang Yulu smiled: "I'm good with Miss Congqi." ”
