The next day, at the beginning of the day, Zhen Mingjie personally went to Qi Mansion to pick up people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info An hour later, Qi Changming and Zhen Ruyi returned to Zhen's house with two small burdens and hugged Sister Yuan, and saw the fourth wife and the fourth master, and after greetings, Zhen Mingjie led Qi Changming to the front yard, and the fourth wife took Zhen Ruyi back to Zhen Wanyi's yard, accompanied by Yu Jinzhen.

The east wing has been cleaned up, the concubine-colored satin bedding and sheets, the blue lake-colored curtain, and the low couch by the window are placed with yellow cloth tigers, orange fawns, brown ponies, and white dogs, which are full of childlike fun.

"Mother, this is really a trouble for you. ”

The fourth lady also looked around and nodded, "What's the trouble, you and Wan'er have a deep sisterhood, this is all arranged by her, and you have been busy all day." ”

Zhen Ruyi's smile deepened, "Ninth Sister has always been ingenious, you can see that these cloth dolls are really exquisite." After speaking, he picked up the white puppy and teased it in front of his daughter, Sister Yuan is now almost ten months old, and it is the time when she is curious about everything, so when she sees it, she holds it in her hand and stuffs it into her mouth.

Yu Jinzhen saw that she hurriedly raised her hand to block it, "Sister Yuan, this can't be eaten, it's playful." As he spoke, he picked up the doll and shook it. Sister Yuan saw that there was nothing in her hand, her big eyes were instantly filled with tears, she shrank her neck and hid in her mother's arms, looking at the cloth doll in Yu Jinzhen's hand and shedding tears, but she didn't make a sound.

Yu Jinzhen was startled and panicked, "Seventh sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I just ......"

Zhen Ruyi hurriedly said: "Sixth sister-in-law, it doesn't matter, Sister Yuan is just timid, she recognizes people, and it will be good to get acquainted after a while." ”

The fourth wife also said: "Sister Yuan is like you, just like you when you were a child, you don't want anyone except your aunt." It'll be fine after a while, don't be afraid, Jane, you will be proficient when you become a mother in the future. As he spoke, he laughed out loud, picked up the pony puppet and handed it to Sister Yuan.

Yu Jinzhen looked at the daughter in Zhen Ruyi's arms with some envy, white and tender, big eyes, and soft hair tied with red rope for two small tugging, very cute.

Zhen Ruyi said with a smile: "The sixth sister-in-law got married late, and she is still young, so there is no need to worry about the child's affairs." ”

The fourth wife also nodded in agreement, "Last year, only the two of them were alone in Beijing, and Zhenniang had to work hard for everything, but she was tired." Now that we are all here, Zhen Niang can take care of her body, and it's time to have a child, Aunt Seventh and Brother Ming are classmates. ”

Zhen Ruyi lowered her eyelids and sighed secretly, such a big courtyard, two masters, and a group of servants, even Mama Huang stayed here, and said that she was working. This is the same fate.

Yu Jinzhen's face was flushed with shame, but she had been married for more than a year, and she was secretly anxious, her mother accompanied her to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the decoction to nourish her body had not been broken for more than half a year, but there was no letter. "Mother, daughter-in-law go to the front to settle down, you accompany the seventh sister to the ninth sister. ”

After Yu Jinzhen left, the fourth wife and Zhen Ruyi sat down on the low couch together, "Why didn't Xiangyan come?"

Zhen Ruyi looked up at the fourth wife and lowered her eyes, "My mother-in-law was a little uncomfortable when she got up early, so my daughter left Xiangya to take care of it." ”

The fourth lady turned the bracelet on her wrist, "Old Mrs. Qi is uncomfortable, why didn't you say it earlier." We weren't in Beijing before, but now that we're here, my mother-in-law is uncomfortable and naturally has to go to visit. Isn't it a joke that you are not waiting in front of you at this time, and now that your father and I are in the capital, you can't come back to live when you want. ”

Zhen Ruyi hurriedly said: "Mother, no, my mother-in-law is old, she doesn't even need medicine, but she can't be tired, so it's enough to leave Xiangya." ”

The fourth wife looked at it fixedly for a while, and sighed, "Sister Ru, although you are not my own child, you have grown up in front of me since you were a child, and I think that I have never treated you badly, and there are some things that you may not want to tell me, but you have to remember that a woman has been wronged in her mother-in-law's family, and there is no other way than to rely on her mother's family." ”

Zhen Ruyi's nose was sour, she raised her head and raised a smile, and said: "Mother, everything is fine with my daughter, really, my mother-in-law handed over the house to my daughter, and my father-in-law was also very good to my daughter, and my daughter didn't suffer any grievances." ”

The fourth wife sighed in her heart, this is not her stomach falling out, it is not. "That's good, if you have difficulties at home, you have to talk to your mother. ”

Zhen Ruwen nodded obediently, just like in front of the fourth wife when she was not married, everything is good, everything should be said.

"That's okay, Wan'er is bored, if you come, you can stay for a while with peace of mind, spend more time with her, and the sisters will talk about their hearts. I'll go to the front first, and you can take Sister Yuan to meet her aunt. ”

Zhen Ruyi hugged her daughter and got up to see her off, and when she arrived at the door, the fourth lady said again: "Oh, by the way, the lotus fragrance in my courtyard is waiting in front of Wan'er, Wan'er is now surrounded by many people, so Lianxiang will wait for you first, how can you be busy with your children alone." ”

Zhen Ruyi bent down and saluted, "Thank you, mother." ”

Seeing off the fourth wife, Zhen Ruyi returned to the room, looked at the familiar satin and pink porcelain tea set, hugged Sister Yuan in her arms, and couldn't stop crying, how can she be busy with a child alone? Since giving birth to a child, she has taken it alone, Xiang Aya only spends most of her time around the kitchen every day, and when she is free, she has to wash the family's clothes and clean the room, so busy that she doesn't even have time to sit down, let alone help her change hands. But what can you say? Before getting married, I knew that the Qi family was not well-off, so what could I do if I chose it? What could I do if I didn't have a happy mother-in-law after giving birth to a daughter? This is just fate.

Lian Xiang called at the door: "Seventh aunt and grandmother, Mrs. asked the slave maid to wait for you." ”

Zhen Ruyi hurriedly wiped her face and took a few deep breaths, "Lianxiang, can you go and help me get some hot water." Sister Yuan is about to fall asleep. ”

Lian Xiang answered, and left, and soon came in with an old woman with hot water.

"Seventh aunt, this is Mrs. Zhang, who has given birth to six children and survived five, and when Mrs. found out, she pointed over to wait for you and help you take the eldest lady. ”

Mrs. Zhang put the hot water basin in her hand on the basin rack, twisted the handkerchief and walked over to look at Sister Yuan, who was dozing off with half-squinted eyes, "My sister was born so well, white and clean, with a full forehead, she is blessed at first glance, and her wife is also blessed." ”

Someone praised her child, Zhen Ruyi was naturally happy to hear it, "Mother Xie Jiyan." After speaking, he hugged Sister Yuan with one hand, and with the other hand, he was going to pick up the handkerchief.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to carefully wipe Sister Yuan'er's face, "This little doll will be done by the slave maid, aunt and grandmother don't worry." Don't look at the three big and five rough slaves, but the five girls of the slave and maid were all brought up by themselves, and now they are all married, and they are all fine. ”

Zhen Ruyi blinked, "Five girls?"

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "It's not just five girls, the child's father has three brothers, and the other brothers have given birth to sons, and I have to give birth to a son, but my belly is not angry, six girls in a row, the sixth child is not pregnant with a full term and is broken, the doctor said that I have a bad body after giving birth to too much, and I can't bear it." Looking at Zhen Ruyi's face, she hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't think about it, the old woman doesn't mean anything else when she says this, she just wants to say that the slave will take care of Sister Yuan, and you can also have a good rest, this mother will not rest well The milk will be sour, and the doll will not grow up after eating."
