21. Joy to be pregnant
Her prophecy came true, and at the end of this month, Mrs. Yuan was called out of the happy pulse, and Shu Heng was so happy that she almost put two firecrackers to celebrate, but Mrs. Yuan held her. Madam, she finally made her dream come true, and she looked much calmer, not at all like Shuheng who had not experienced anything, that calm and indifferent, "I knew it would be like this" posture, so that Shuheng was not ashamed, and I don't know who is looking forward to his son is about to look out of his eyes.
When the news came, Grandpa Guo was playing against his colleagues in the study.
The three friends of the year are small pear wood, the dark blue eight groups of ruyi tassels are brocade strips, the vermilion lacquer pear wood chessboard, and the black and white glazed chess pieces. Silver-gilt blue and white entwined branches amphora Ding furnace, dark purple smoke patterns rise into the air. Ruyi pattern square stool, moist porcelain pine small cover cup.
Lord Dong of the household department insisted on the sunspot, weighed the situation in the plate, and felt that the hand took off the boots was really wonderful, and he was attacked by the enemy left and right for a while, and he did not dare to fall lightly. The little maid who was waiting in the study listened to the words from the backyard, and jumped three feet high with joy, taking into account the rule of "no one is allowed to trespass", so he didn't go in, but his head poked in, and cheered: "Grandpa, Madame is happy." ”
When Lord Dong heard this, he smiled and got up to congratulate, he knew that Dingguo Gong had been married for a long time and had no heirs, and this news was really precious, "Congratulations, God sent Lin'er, I came as well as I came, I asked for a cup of wine today." ”
Grandpa Guo raised his head and glanced at him lightly, knocking on the chessboard: "It's your turn." ”
Mr. Dong: ---
The little guy touched his head in confusion and froze by the door.
Master Dong knocked his forehead ashamedly: Look at people's cultivation, this heritage! No wonder the sage once boasted that "immobility is like a mountain, silence is like an abyss". If you don't know how to have fun. I don't know if it's because of his distraction, the center shape shì changed abruptly, Yuan Guogong, who had always had a slight upper hand, suddenly let go of the scale and started to kill, Lord Dong began to sweat on his forehead for a while, lost his armor, struggled for a while, and abandoned his son to admit defeat. Grandpa Guo patted him on the shoulder and smiled very gracefully: "If you are happy today, the lottery will not win you." ”
After that, looking at the household servant who was still wiping his sweat, "The land of Qinzhong was rich in ancient times, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is actually in vain?" How could it be that the people were displaced everywhere at one time, and the adults were in charge of the national kunu and measured the taxes paid in various places, but they did not find any clues? Tobe's body stiffened suddenly, and his forehead began to sweat again.
"Grandpa wants to know, but he can't do it." Finally, Tobe Samurai carefully stretched out two fingers from his cuffs.
Grandpa Guo understood and patted him on the shoulder: "The time has come." A glimmer of light flashed in Lord Dong's eyes, and Yuan Guogong immediately raised his glass to send off the guests. Seeing that he was leaving in a hurry, Grandpa Guo personally cleaned up the chessboard, cleaned his hands, and changed his clothes, so he walked to Ronghuatang without hurry.
The little guy went in to pack up the tea set: Huh? How did one of the tassels on this jacket be ripped off?
In the Ronghua Hall, there was a lot of joy, several mothers-in-law and maids were making fun of it, and they heard that the grandfather of the country had come and withdrew, only an old lady with gray sideburns was still sitting here. Sauce-colored old cloth jacket, soap-colored pants, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes are shining, his face is ruddy, his hands are thick, and his spirit is strong. She is Grandpa Guo's godmother Granny Song, Yuan Muyun was raised by her, and she took care of her more than the old lady, so she has a deep feeling, plus she has always been loyal and mellow, so she is also highly regarded by Mrs. Yuan, and she is very decent. When Shu Heng saw her, he also behaved politely and said hello.
Guogong and his wife have always treated her differently, Yuan Guogong entered the room, saw his mother-in-law stand up and said hello, and hurriedly invited her to sit. His eyes fell to Mrs. Yuan, pursed his lips and smiled, and first asked his mother-in-law if everything was okay with Zhuangzi at home. Mrs. Yuan lowered her head slightly, but she was a little ashamed: "My mother-in-law just arrived for a while, so she used the guest meal." The grandmother brother was also sent to rest. ”
Mother-in-law Song has a simple temperament, and does not claim to be the credit for raising the little master, and has repeatedly declined Yuan Guogong's invitation to take her into Beijing to enjoy happiness, and now she is still staying in the farm on the outskirts of Beijing. From time to time, I brought fresh melons, fruits and vegetables into Beijing to visit my grandfather and wife. Shuheng also likes this simple and sophisticated old man in the countryside very much, and she easily reminds her of her grandmother in the countryside. When Granny Song saw this, she opened the conversation: "God opened his eyes, the wind and rain were smooth, not only the good flowers of the wheat seedlings were pumped and the ears of corn were harvested, but even the peaches that had just fallen were fist-size, and I specially picked the first batch of fresh ones to send them to the grandfather's wife and young lady to taste." How many will there be in the future, but they can't compare to this top man" Then he patted his leg and said: "Look at the hungry people on the roadside, my old woman thinks that I should really go to the Bodhisattva to burn high incense."
Everyone laughed at what Yixi said. The grandfather said: "We still have a little jade bodhisattva in our house, so please go back to my mother-in-law." Heaven is uprooted, there is no need to go over the mountain and enter the nunnery every day. ”
Granny Song sang the Buddha and thanked her, and said, "Grandpa tastes the fruit? The fragrance is sweet and crispy, and it will not be rude to offer it in front of the Buddha. ”
When the grandfather heard about it, he wanted to try it, and Mrs. Yuan had already ordered someone to put some of it in the crystal jar, and when she took it, cut it into pieces and put it on a plate, and put it in front of her.
Granny Song saw that the golden agate plate was cut into red and white fruit dices in the shape of plum blossoms, and there was a small silver fork next to it, which was served in a mahogany lacquer plate and was brought over by the maid, so she smiled and said: "This fruit has become noble when it arrives in the house, and there is the gold and silver to match it." Mrs. Yuan's peach cheeks were full of spring, her apricot eyes were shining, and she immediately smiled: "Because it was given by my mother-in-law, I specially took gold and silver to match." Mother-in-law didn't see it just now, Heng'er was holding it with both hands, her little face was bulging, and she even saved dinner after eating two. I'm afraid that if my mother-in-law sends it a few more times, she will follow you directly. ”
Shu Heng had just met his father, and sat on the small brocade pier and nibbled on peaches (she didn't think Xiao Ding Ding was happy to eat), and when she heard it, she hurriedly raised her head: "No, no, I want to eat at night, drink shrimp ball sour bamboo shoot soup." She didn't know that there was juice on her face, and her grandfather rubbed her mustache very good-naturedly: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”
Granny Song laughed: "The little girl is still so pleasing, just like the one that ran down that year." I saw her two inches taller than last time. ”
Mrs. Yuan was smug on her face, but she didn't have any good words in her mouth: "That's not it?" Look at what you eat in your mouth, step on your feet, play during the day, and sleep at night, even if you change it to gold, it's enough to make a two-foot-three gold man, and she can't give me two inches longer? ”
"It's amazing, it's amazing," the mother-in-law patted her knee, "Madame is still so eloquent, it's like this nectar and nectar have rubbed on your mouth." When I used to raise my brother, I used to talk about it, and I don't know which one is blessed, and I can absorb the character and talent of Grandpa Guo, but I don't know which one is not blessed, so I have to endure my brother's tricky and strange temper. Look, after all, it was put on by the lady, and it really looks like it was carved out of the Sansheng Stone. ”
Mrs. Yuan blushed, but she was happy in her heart, and she couldn't say anything. Shuheng forced a smile on the side, eating apples seriously. The grandfather tasted a small piece, and sure enough, the juice was like honey, and the fruity fragrance was fragrant, so he smiled: "It's still the taste of the old days." Thanks to the mother-in-law thought. I've always remembered that I'm going to stay in the village for a few days. ”
Granny Song smiled and narrowed her eyes: "If Grandpa really comes again, then the relationship is good." If you stay for a few days, I'll be happier than the New Year. She looked Grandpa Guo up and down: "It's better than before, but thanks to Mrs. Cunning, I didn't let you sit reading books day and night." As soon as I entered the porter's room, I heard that the lady had sent another good news. ”
Yuan Guogong pursed his lips and glanced at his wife, and said with a smile: "It's a loss to your earth." Mrs. Yuan's face turned red.
Shu Heng listened to it on the side, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, the honey was blocked in his throat, and he choked on it. Grandpa Guo kindly patted her on the back, took a squirrel seed embroidered handkerchief to wipe her mouth, lost the handkerchief but took her apple very easily, and bit it himself. Shuheng looked at it speechlessly, the fact that Daddy snatched his snacks had happened more than once.
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is the grandfather and his wife accumulating virtue and blessings." Granny Song was beaming with joy as if she was going to add a grandson, and she began to tell Mrs. Yuan carefully about precautions during pregnancy: what not to eat cold things, crabs, persimmons, kelp are all taboo, what not to sit and squat for a long time, don't take a bath in the bathtub for too long, all of them are said over and over again. When Mrs. Yuan was pregnant with Shuheng, she muttered a lot, and now she is doing it all over again from beginning to end. In order to give birth to a son, Mrs. has long become an expert in this area, where to use others to popularize science, but she still listened very carefully, and did not show a trace of impatience on her face.
At the end, Granny Song said: "On this day, I can be regarded as looking forward to the old wife, now that I have old arms and legs, I don't expect to help you take my brother, if the eldest daughter is interested and wants to go to our countryside to play, the old woman can still raise it." There is nothing else in our land, flocks of chickens, ducks and geese, more horses, cattle and sheep, a few acres of mulberry trees and several acres of wheat fields. This is what kind of idyllic scenery Jingjie home that you readers say. "One of the old man's sons took the Xiucai exam and knew what was going on in Jingjie.
When Shu Heng heard this, her eyes lit up, she has been in this world for so long, and it is just that this house goes out of that house, this uncle's mansion goes, and that Hou mansion comes in, one house is exchanged for another, and it really becomes a captivity. "Okay, daddy, mom, when the summer comes, let's go to the village to spend the summer."
Mrs. Yuan said with a smile: "When it's hot, you don't have energy, and when you really get to your mother-in-law's house, I'm afraid that you will nest in the kiln every day, and you might as well be in the spirit of the goose." Besides, don't look at what it should be now, as soon as the sun rises in June, you are too lazy to go out and shrink into the house, and the mother-in-law is looking forward to it in vain. ”
"Shall we go now, then?" Shuheng was in high spirits, Shangjing was bustling and crowded, the pavilions were exquisite, and even the sky was cut into pieces, she really wanted to go outside and scatter.
"You little conscienceless." Mrs. Yuan nodded her forehead: "The mansion is delicious and pampered, and as soon as I heard that my mother-in-law had fruit, I left with others." It's the Dragon Boat Festival now, and the four princes are going to have their birthdays, so you can't prepare gifts to go into the palace to celebrate your birthday? It's in vain that Aunt Guifei loves you so much, I can't even remember that big day. ”
Only then did Shuheng wake up from the extravagant fantasy of "flying egrets in desert paddy fields, and yellow orioles in yin and summer", and patted his head in annoyance: "You should fight, you should fight, you can't forget this if you forget to eat meat." ”
Granny Song was old, and after talking again, she was taken to rest.
"Daddy, I'm finally going to have a little brother, why aren't you happy at all?" Shu Heng frowned, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Grandpa Guo with a stern expression.
"Who says I'm not happy?" Grandpa Guo stretched out his finger to smooth her eyebrows: "Be careful that your face twitches." ”
Yuan Guogong is a strange person, the corners of his mouth are perennial two smiles, not one point high, not one point lower. There is a kind of elegance with alienated nobility. At the beginning, the emperor was amazed by this kind of laughter, and promoted him to be a waiter, but it was not easy to read, the emperor was happy, and wanted to help him memorize his homework, and the emperor was unhappy, so he had to help him memorize his homework. If the emperor does not endorse books and does not write homework, then he will be beaten. It is said that the emperor once couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he didn't do his homework, but when Yuan Muyun was beaten by the lecturer, he still laughed like this, and only laughed so that the old man who held the ring ruler was furious in his heart.
Afterwards, the emperor asked him guiltily: "Does it hurt?" ”
He smiled and asked, "Forgive me for the sin of deceiving the king?" ”
"Forgiveness!"
"Is it okay not to answer?"
"No, you can't."
"Can I get a reward?"
"Yes, what do you want?"
Syllable! Yuan Muyun stretched out his hand and pressed the bloody handprint on the emperor's dragon robe: "Please Your Majesty xià this garment." ”
Emperor:――
When His Majesty went to class again, in front of him was the majestic and rigid old face of the master, on the left was the dragon robe with blood marks on his chest, and on the right was Yuan Muyun, who could be a celestial man with a two-point smile, these three things were more terrible than the same, and the emperor's homework was advancing by leaps and bounds, a thousand miles a day.
"I'm having fun." The grandfather handed the book balance to the red sleeves and took it out, looked back at his wife, with a smile on his face, his forehead was slightly close, and the shadow reflected in the screen window was like a swan crossing his neck.
