137 Chapter 137
Old Lady Liu and Liu Yuan were exposed by Chonglan on the day they beat up, and finally stopped for a while, but Old Lady Liu didn't know what kind of psychology it was, and even left Liu Yuan in Qi Guofu and didn't leave, and Chonglan had a real face to face several times, and every time they saw her, their eyes were resentful, and they were so shocked that Qingyun and Qingge came up to protect her.
Chonglan looked upset and disgusted, so she simply handed over the gift to the sixth aunt, and passed the word again, the sixth aunt was confused, but she was very active when she counted people, and ran to Liu Yuan's yard to make a big fuss, and her words were ugly.
“... Girl, don't complain about my ugly words, you are a girl from the Liu family, not a girl from Qi Guofu, you can live as long as you want when you return to Rongchangbo's Mansion, how ugly it is for an unmarried girl to live in Beppu for a long time. What's more, a few of our elders still crowd a yard with a room, it's good for you, you don't pay a penny to eat and drink here for nothing, and occupy a yard for nothing, it is really a family history. ”
Liu Yuan naturally knew that she was using Mrs. Liu's matter to satirize herself, but she was unwilling to let her go like this, so she had to endure her anger and said, "What does that aunt mean?" ”
The sixth aunt swept her sideburns: "My brother still settles the accounts, the girl can live if she wants to, just pay the money according to the rules." ”
She deliberately quoted a high price, with a face that she was going to kill people, thinking that Liu Yuan would be able to retreat in the face of difficulties, but she didn't expect that she just frowned and responded, which surprised the sixth aunt, but thinking that their family was taking the money from Qi Guofu, she hated it even more.
However, it is still beneficial to let the sixth aunt go, Liu Yuan used to walk around the courtyard, but as soon as she appeared in the past few days, the sixth aunt rushed out as if waiting, either sneering or shouting, she was forced to have nothing to do and did not dare to come out again, Chonglan finally got clean.
She made shoes and clothes for Yan He in the courtyard in peace, and she didn't go out when she had nothing to do, and finally after a month, her stomach was a little higher, and she was out of breath after a few more steps.
However, the doctor told her to move more before giving birth, so that the birth could be smooth, and she had to insist on walking every day no matter how tired she was.
Qingge was afraid that she would fall, so she helped her walk on the side, and when she saw that she was almost gone, she took out a silk to wipe her sweat, and sighed: "It's really not easy to be a mother, and the little master will definitely have to honor you in the future." ”
Chonglan rested for a while before getting up and walking back, listening to her and quipping, "How do you know it's the young master?" Maybe it's a little lady? ”
Qingge smiled: "Miss is good, my mother's intimate little padded jacket." ”
Chonglan picked up the needlework that she hadn't done in the morning and continued to do it, she has become more and more comfortable making shoes these days, that is, making clothes or cutting crookedly.
Qingge was afraid that she would poke her hand, so she hurriedly stopped her, and reminded: "Didn't the young master send you a letter last month?" Anyway, you have to send these clothes and shoes over, so it is better to send them back with a letter, so that the young master will also be happy. ”
Chonglan thought for a while, nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”
Then she began to study the ink and pick up the pen, she naturally did not have so many wonderful and charming sentences from Yan He, but she described the family affairs mediocrely, and then wrote that she was in good health, so that he didn't have to worry about it, thinking that he didn't want to admit that she missed him, and the last sentence casually asked, 'Can the battle be finished before the child is born?' ’
Qingge covered his mouth and snickered on the side, and Qingyun jumped and said: "Young lady write more, write the good things that Rongchang Bofu has done these days, and let the young master give you a head start, and rectify that troubled person." ”
Chonglan shook his head and said: "He is now out on the expedition, how can he be distracted by the affairs of the inner house, not to mention that we ourselves are not bad at handling it." ”
Qingyun was instructed in a low voice, and Chonglan made a concentric knot again, and put it in the hands of the messenger along with the letter clothes.
Yan He received something and sure enough, there was a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and he saw that the scalp of his subordinates who usually dealt with him was numb, he had been wearing wartime clothes for the past month, and Chonglan didn't care about wearing the clothes he sewed.
Now that it was easy to get free, naturally I couldn't live up to my wife's wishes, so I unfolded my clothes and looked at them, and tried them again, and they still fit quite well, so I dressed very complacently and talked about the army with many generals in the army. Feeling.
He saw that these clothes were very good, several times better than the ones he had worn, but the generals in the army couldn't help but look at each other.
Let's just say that this is straight, it is good to look at it from a distance, but up close, I saw the crooked seams of the sleeves and collars, and the threads came out in some places. If it weren't for his good body and good looks, others would be no different from beggars.
An adjutant who knew him well asked in a low voice, "The Governor's clothes... Who sewed it? In fact, he wanted to ask if the man was okay?
Yan He provoked a little smile on his lips, and his expression was slightly reserved and self-satisfied: "It was my wife who did it." ”
The generals looked at each other for a while, and said in unison: "The governor's clothes are really ingenious!" ”
.......
Chonglan received Yan He's reply, saying that many generals praised her clothes for their beautiful sewing, she couldn't help but be proud, and worked harder to make clothes, and when she bit off a thread, she saw Liu Ying hurriedly running in, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, something happened to the second master!" ”
Yan Sansi has an accident? Chonglan was shocked, these days the Qi State Mansion has been busy forcing Rongchang Bofu to hand over the silver, and no one has the time to deal with Yan Sansi, who is still in the prison of the Criminal Department, only Chonglan means it, and handed over the silver and sent some clothes and food to eat.
She got up in shock and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Liuying said in a low voice: "I don't know how it is, but I heard that the second master suddenly went crazy this morning, and hit the wall in the prison headlong, and now he only has air out and no air in." ”
Chonglan's heart was beating rapidly, and he didn't have time to think about what the consequences would be if Yan Sansi died at this time, so he turned his head and asked, "Does everyone else in the courtyard know?" Especially on the second lady's side, can there be any words? ”
Liu Ying shook her head and said, "The others should also know, but there is no movement in the second lady's courtyard, and it is still the same as usual." ”
Chonglan sat down again and thought carefully, if Yan Sansi died, according to the etiquette Yan He had to resign and keep filial piety, but she was not worried about this, the military general has always said that he is in love, and he is now out of the country, and it is impossible to be called back to guard filial piety, I am afraid that his mood will be affected by something, and this title...
It stands to reason that Yan He is the eldest son and the absolute heir to the title, but he is not in the mansion now, and there are many people staring at the mansion, who knows what will happen?
Chonglan shook her head, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind for the time being, and planned to wait and see what happened first, Qingge persuaded her to lie down and rest for a while, but she didn't expect that after lying down for a while, she heard more tricky news from the main courtyard, Old Madam Yan woke up!
She also had a headache for a while, but she didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Yan's courtyard. The old lady is really, she doesn't wake up early or late, but she wakes up at this time, whether we say the news of the second child or not? ”
Ning also frowned and said: "That's not the reason, I said that I was afraid that my mother's body would not be able to stand it, and someone had to make an idea." ”
She said and tugged at the sleeve of the sixth aunt: "You be quiet, don't let the inside hear it." ”
It seems that everyone has the same idea, Chonglan slowed down and walked directly into the junior pile. Everyone discussed for a while, and finally decided to hide it first, and wait until they saw Mrs. Yan's body before making plans.
Chonglan noticed that the county lord of Qinghe gently pursed the corners of his mouth, as if he was disdainful, but he did not refute it out loud.
Everyone whispered for a while, and Mama Wei suddenly opened the curtain and said, "Ladies, young ladies, old ladies, please go in and talk." ”
Everyone bowed their heads and rushed in, Chonglan took a closer look, and saw that Mrs. Yan was wiping her forehead with an otter on her head, and she was supported by someone to lean on the pillow, her face was dry and sallow, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
She covered her mouth and coughed a few times, her voice was dry and slow, and she closed her eyes slightly and said, "I know that you all complain about me in your hearts, the matter of Uncle Rongchang... It's me who was in a hurry and reckless. ”
Everyone didn't even dare to say it, and Mrs. Yan's tone was even more bitter, and at this time she had a little hatred: "I didn't expect it... I didn't expect my sister-in-law for so many years, she turned out..."
Before she finished speaking, she lowered her head and coughed uncontrollably, Mama Wei hurriedly held a spittoon and water to let her rinse her mouth, Chonglan turned her head to look, and saw that the water she spit out was actually covered with a lot of blood, she was shocked, and her fingers moved slightly.
Old Madam Yan was about to speak, but at this time, Mama Qian suddenly walked in in a hurry, fell to her knees with a 'plop', and cried out mournfully: "Old Madam..."
Chonglan's heart flashed, and she suddenly realized what she was going to say, and shouted: "Shut up, don't drag this Diao slave down quickly!" “
But at this time, it was too late, and Mama Qian cried: "Old lady, please save the second master, he hit the pillar in a frenzy, and now he is about to die." ”
Everyone was shocked, but Ning was the first to come back to his senses and shouted: "You are all dead, why don't you hurry up and drag this Diao slave out!" ”
Old Madam Yan couldn't take care of it, and her face became even more ugly in shock, and she hurriedly pulled Ning Shi and asked, "Eldest daughter-in-law, is what she said true or false?" Think twice is something really going wrong?! ”
She didn't pull Ning Shi to ask, but now Ning Shi said that it was wrong, and it was not right to say that it was not, so she had to comfort: "Mother, you relax first and take care of your body." ”
When Mrs. Yan heard her say this, she didn't understand anything, her body shook, a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the rich and flowery bedding, and the person fell straight down, and the frightened people in the room all turned white, and only a few screams could be heard in the chaos: "Go and ask the doctor to come over!" ”
......
The autumn wind was solemn, and the old lady Yan had been in a coma for five days since she knew the news of Yan Sansi, and she woke up a few times during this period, but she either called her son's name or said some old words that had accumulated for years, and people were confused.
Today, her breath was extremely weak, so after a few discussions in the Ning family, she gathered everyone in the main hall early to prevent accidents.
Chonglan sat in the chair, seeing that Mrs. Yan was breathing carefully, and couldn't stop muttering the names of Yan Sansi and Mrs. Yan, a few lines of muddy tears slowly flowed down from her closed eyes, dripping onto the pillow, and darkening the color of the plain pillow.
It's only been a few days, she seems to have shrunk a circle, lying on the bed with her back bent, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked straight at the ceiling, the appearance was a little infiltrating, and everyone was startled.
As the eldest daughter-in-law, even if she was reluctant, she had to step forward and ask, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you..."
Old Madam Yan didn't look at her at all, she looked at the ceiling with shortness of breath, screamed a few times in her mouth, and then shouted: "Master, you wait for me for a ride, I'll come with you!" ”
After a sharp whistle and half a gasp, Mrs. Yan tilted her head and fell straight back on the bed, the doctor cut off her pulse, probed her nose again, and sighed: "The old lady of your mansion... The fairy went. ”
The room was silent, and everyone, whether it was true or not, began to cry in unison. Although Chonglan was extremely disgusted with Mrs. Yan's person, her heart was still inexplicably sour.
Old lady Yan was greedy and lustful, and she spoiled the concubine room, forcing her to raise her head, and let her use the dowry to make up for it everywhere, so it was easy to survive until the old lady Yan died, Yan Sansi was not a worry-free person, and he was betrayed by his most trusted sister-in-law before he died, such a life should be very bitter, right?
Chonglan looked up at the deserted sun outside, sighed inaudibly, covered her face with a silk, and cried along.
The house has long known that there will be such a day, so it has prepared for the future, and after setting up the mourning hall, a water and land dojo was made, and the ceremony was simple, but it was always in the past.
On the third day after Mrs. Yan's death, Yan Sansi, who was already paralyzed, was sent back to the house, he was fateful, and he didn't die if his head was broken, but he couldn't move and couldn't speak, and someone came to send him directly to the courtyard of the Qinghe County Lord, as for whether the Qinghe County Lord would take care of it... That's only God knows.
There is also the issue of filial piety, everyone in the house discussed it carefully, and finally decided to take turns to keep filial piety to Mrs. Yan, Chonglan was more unlucky, and the lottery was actually with the county lord of Qinghe, the county lord of Qinghe originally proposed to change the candidate, and it seemed that he was also guarding against her, but he was directly blocked back by the Ning family.
Keeping filial piety was a chore, but fortunately, her body was still able to hold on, and after drinking a bowl of refreshing tea, she took a few idle books and thick clothes and mattresses, and sat down peacefully in the mourning hall.
The county lord of Qinghe was late at night, and after he came, he yawned and said, "I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I'm so thirsty and sleepy, I'm late, you won't mind, right?" ”
Chonglan's body was covered with a thick blanket, but it was not cold, but he said with a smile: "The second lady is heavy, and it is common to snooze." ”
The two of them had nothing to say, and after they finished speaking, they fell silent, Chonglan lowered her head and continued to look at the happy story book, looking at it and feeling a little sleepy, she looked up and said, "Qingge, help me make a cup of strong tea." ”
As soon as Qingge was about to receive the order, he saw the county lord of Qinghe suddenly raise his head, his eyes coldly swept away Qingge's body, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the name of this maid of yours?" ”
Chonglan was startled, and realized in her heart that something was wrong, and she carelessly forgot to change the name of Qingge Qingyun and them, and she knew that she would be called Liuying.
She was slightly shocked in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Her name is Qingge, light and heavy, does the second lady feel that there is anything wrong with this name?" ”
The county lord of Qinghe sighed, and leaned back lazily: "It turns out that the words are different, so I'll just say, if someone rushes the master's name, it will not be too much to beat him to death with a few boards." ”
Chonglan gave Qingge a look, she immediately went down to make tea, and there was nothing in the room for a while, only the sound of the spirit flag rustling by the night wind could be heard.
The county lord of Qinghe moved his body uneasily, and suddenly raised his head again and asked, "What sound?" ”
Chonglan was looking down at the book, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "The daughter-in-law didn't hear anything, I'm afraid the second lady heard it wrong." ”
The county lord of Qinghe stood up suddenly, walked around the mourning hall, and ordered his subordinates to search around, and when he saw that there was really nothing, his eyes were fixed on the coffin in the inner hall again, and he muttered with a little fear and suspicion: "I just heard a voice." ”
She said as she scratched the table with her long nails: "That's the sound." ”
Even if Chonglan boasted that she hadn't done anything wrong, she was embarrassed by her: "The second lady is too worried, we are all in one place, and I didn't hear any sound." ”
The lord of Qinghe County sat down suspiciously, and at this time, a maid handed over strong tea, she took it and was about to drink it, and screamed again, slammed the tea cup to the ground, and screamed: "There is a human face in this tea cup." ”
Chonglan can be regarded as having seen the suspicious energy of the county lord of Qinghe, no wonder the Ning clan and the others were full of irritability when they mentioned her, such crazy energy was simply terrifying.
The county lord of Qinghe was reluctant to kill the maid who came to serve the tea, Chonglan saw that she was making too much trouble, and no matter how reluctant she was, she could only persuade her: "Second lady, this is the mourning hall, the first seven have not passed, if she sees the blood and disturbs the trouble, will her old man..."
These words made the county lord of Qinghe dare not dare to do it again, just sat in the same place and panted heavily, and an old lady came up with a bowl of unknown soup on a tray, and whispered to the county lord of Qinghe: "This is the black chicken soup boiled by Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. uses some of it, so as to suppress the shock." ”
I don't know what ingredients were added to the chicken soup, and a delicious taste of herbs and chicken naturally floated out, and the county lord of Qinghe hurriedly took it and drank it, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and the most amazing thing was that after she drank it, she looked at her demeanor a little more stable, and she did not return to her crazy state.
She seemed to be very dependent on the broth, drank another bowl in a blink of an eye, turned her head and asked Chonglan: "Do you want a bowl of daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen's craftsmanship is really good, this chicken soup is added with red dates and wolfberries, and there are a lot of steps that I can't name, but the taste is very delicious, and it is perfect for our pregnant women to drink it." ”
The county lord of Qinghe has also set up a small kitchen since he became pregnant, but the vegetables, vegetables, fish and meat he bought are still with the house.
Regardless of whether this thing is really so good, as long as it is given by the county lord of Qinghe, Chonglan didn't dare to try it easily, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I've been happy lately, and I can't get fishy." ”
