I heard that when Liu Chengfang came back, Mrs. Liu was learning calligraphy.

"Chengfang is back?"

The servant nodded, "I'm on my way over, I'm almost there." ”

Good end, what do you do when you come back? Mrs. Liu put down the lake pen in her hand. Thinking of the full moon banquet in King Ke's Mansion a few days ago, she had some numbers in her heart. I probably remembered the Xie family, so I couldn't figure it out.

Mrs. Liu sighed lightly and thought with a light smile, what a child's heart, how old is this. It seems that I have to remind my granddaughter this time, they have given birth to children and become mothers, and they always run to their parents' houses, which is not like words.

Liu Chengfang put on the hat before getting off the carriage. The blood on his face had stopped for a while on the way over, but the wound still looked terrible. She just wanted to keep the wound and tell her grandfather and grandmother to take a good look at it.

Familiar with the temperament of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu, Liu Chengfang knew that they would not take it lightly for their own sake. They always feel that a married woman should not always rely on her mother's family and her husband's family. But if their children are injured, they will not stop there.

Liu Chengfang asked the grandmother who came to pick her up, "Where is grandmother?" ”

"The old lady is practicing calligraphy in the study." Although Mama wondered why Liu Chengfang was wearing a hat today, she didn't ask anything, and led her to the study and guarded the door, not going in.

Mrs. Liu was waiting for her granddaughter inside, and when she saw her dressed differently from usual, she knew that something must be wrong. She dismissed the servants in the house and asked Liu Chengfang to take off her hat, "What's the matter?" Can't even see my grandmother? ”

Liu Chengfang took off her hat with a hula, and two lines of tears on her face lined the terrible wound on her forehead, which made Mrs. Liu scream.

"Hurry up and call the doctor!"

The grandmother outside the house answered through the door and went to the doctor.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly pressed Liu Chengfang on the chair, "What's the matter?" Why is it hurting? She examined the wound carefully, frowned, and said, "It seems to be quite deep, I'm afraid it will leave a scar." Who's the hand? ”

Liu Chengfang cried and threw herself into her grandmother's arms, "Grandmother, I want to reconcile with Chai Jin." ”

Mrs. Liu was shocked and suspicious, "Did Chai Jin hurt you?" She was extremely unsure of this conclusion. She prides herself on being a little accurate in looking at people, and Chai Jin doesn't look like someone who can do it lightly with a woman.

Liu Chengfang didn't say anything about how to guide zhì's injury, and only cried: "Mother-in-law told him that she wanted to carry that new aunt as a flat wife." Grandmother, how can I swallow such an insult? That kind of country woman is also worthy?! ”

Madame Liu sighed. Liu Chengfang's temperament is very similar to her biological mother Xie, she is very tough, and she has always been rather jade. The incident in the outer room that came out this time must have dealt her a big blow. Mrs. Liu knew about Liu Chengfang's knot, and at that time she also thought about whether it would be better to separate their mother and daughter.

But the imperial doctors said that Xie would not be able to live for long, and Mrs. Liu still relented in the end. This is the last day that Xie and Liu Chengfang can see each other, and if Liu Chengfang is sad and blames herself for this reason in the future, Mrs. Liu will not feel good.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but blame her eldest son. If he hadn't just spoiled the Zeng family who was expelled from the mansion, how could he have caused the Xie family to die early? How could Liu Chengfang be so worried at a young age?

But at this point, it's useless to say anything more. Mrs. Liu had to comfort Liu Chengfang well, hoping that she would accept Wu Yi.

According to the example, a prince of Chai Jin should have a main concubine and two side concubines. After marrying Liu Chengfang, Chai Jin has never proposed to accept anyone as a side concubine, which is already a good job. Mrs. Liu felt that a man's three wives and four concubines should not be the reason for a woman's envy.

It's just that the flat wife is indeed a bit too much. After Mrs. Liu decided to appease her granddaughter, she personally went to King Ke's mansion and went to talk to Chai's mother. Even if Aunt Wu has meritorious service in raising children, it is not bad to give a side concubine position, how can she be rewarded with a wife. Where did this leave their Liu family?

With the doctor, it was Mrs. Liu. When he heard that his wife had called a doctor, he thought that she was not in good health. The two of them are old, and they have a pain at every turn, so it is common for them to go because of this. But in the end, I can't let go of these decades.

After arriving, seeing the wound on Liu Chengfang's forehead, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be stunned. He angrily asked, "Who?" ”

Liu Chengfang, who had just stopped crying, couldn't help crying again when she heard her grandfather ask about it.

Mrs. Liu pulled Mrs. Liu, who was angry and blew her beard and stared at her, to the side, and said to him: "King Ke's Mansion wants to raise the aunt who just entered the mansion to his wife." Chengfang's temperament is so strong, I think it should be some kind of contradiction with Ah Jin. She wouldn't say how it came about, I thought...... It was probably Ah Jin's hand. It's a pity that she has arrived at this field, and she is still thinking about maintaining the face of King Ke's mansion. ”

"I still have to come forward in this matter. I'll go to King Ke's mansion to talk to the old princess about this later. Mrs. Liu frowned, "This is really ridiculous. ”

She said so. Mrs. Liu calmed down. He looked at the doctor who was treating Liu Chengfang's wounds and paced a few steps around the room. It wasn't until the doctor left the prescription and left the ointment that Mrs. Liu spoke. "Chai Jin is not a hands-on character. You accidentally caused this injury yourself when you were arguing. ”

Liu Chengfang twisted her body to the side, "Grandfather, is this going to speak for him?" ”

Mrs. Liu's eyes widened slightly, looked at Mrs. Liu, and asked him in a very low voice, "Is it Chengfang herself?" ”

Mrs. Liu tapped her with her finger, "You still don't know Chengfang's temperament?" If it was really King Ke's injury, she would have said it a long time ago. ”

Mrs. Liu thought about it, and it was indeed the case. But even so, she still couldn't forgive Chai's mother for the so-called flat wife.

Mrs. Liu waved his hand to his old wife, and he asked Liu Chengfang, "What if...... Can I tell the old princess and the king to change their minds and give up raising that aunt as an equal wife—that is, to achieve your goal, you may promise me?" ”

"Guarantee what?" Although Liu Chengfang knew what Mrs. Liu meant, she still pretended not to know.

Mrs. Liu's somewhat cloudy eyes lit up slightly, "I guarantee that after the eldest son you gave birth to in the future, your mother and son will not do anything unfavorable to the Wu family's mother and son." ”

Liu Chengfang looked at Mrs. Liu, "Look at what my grandfather said, am I such a ruthless and evil woman?" ”

"No, you know it in your heart. Whether you will do it in the future or not, you know better than me. Mrs. Liu sighed, "Your grandmother and I are also old, and we can't protect you for a few years." Your father...... You know what he's like. It's embarrassing! Something that doesn't fit on the countertop. Your second uncle's family will not return to Beijing in the short term, and His Majesty means that he will let him go around the local area for a few years and then come back. Chengfang, you can only rely on yourself. ”

This is the first time that Mrs. Liu has shown a weak old state in front of Liu Chengfang. Liu Chengfang was a little sad. Since she was a child, because Xie was seriously ill, her father didn't care about anything, so she was brought up by Mrs. Liu and his wife, and the relationship between her grandparents and grandchildren was extraordinary. She knew that what Mrs. Liu had just said was heartfelt words, and it was also her last advice.

But Liu Chengfang can't forget that the unwillingness of her biological mother when she was dying left a deep imprint in her heart.

Mrs. Liu looked at the unwillingness on her granddaughter's face and knew that she couldn't convince her. He sighed, "Well, I'll help you one last time with your grandmother—not again." ”

Liu Chengfang raised her eyebrows and threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms, "I know that my grandfather loves me the most." ”

Mrs. Liu protected her forehead, "Be careful, you still have injuries." He paused, "But to help you, you also have to show some sincerity to the old princess." ”

Mrs. Liu echoed: "That's exactly the reason. Speaking of which, the old princess is nothing more than caring about the heirs. If you could have another son, she wouldn't say anything. In the final analysis, the Wu family is just a concubine, how can it be compared with you. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Whether you are male or female, if you can open up the branches and leaves of the Kewang Mansion with a thin heir, you will be able to straighten your waist." Cheng Fang, if a woman in the back house wants to stand up, it is nothing more than the favor of her husband, and there is also an heir. Although I am a man, I have to say that men have always loved beautiful women. But there is always a twilight day for a beauty. Only one way is the right way. ”

Liu Chengfang touched her stomach gloomily, "That's not what I said." ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and comforted her: "I'll go back with you, and when the time comes, I'll accompany you to say no to Chai Jin." When a husband and wife fight, how can there be a discord at the end of the bed? Don't look at your grandfather who can't be angry now, but when he was young, he was a violent temper, and I don't know how many times I quarreled with him. Don't you think we're doing well now? ”

Child......

Liu Chengfang gritted her teeth, "Okay, just listen to your grandfather and grandmother." "They are the most unlievable people in the world.

"This is my good grandson." Mrs. Liu held her granddaughter in her arms, "You, don't listen to your grandfather." As long as he and I are alive, I will always plan for you. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Chengfang took Mrs. Liu back to King Ke's mansion. When I went to see Chai's mother. Mrs. Liu pushed her granddaughter, "Go ahead, go to Chai Jin, and make a good compensity with him." If he is still angry with you, I will clean him up. ”

Looking at her grandmother with a piece of white hair attached to her sideburns, Liu Chengfang felt that she was unfilial. Always tell them to worry about themselves. She touched her stomach and slowly walked towards the study where Chai Jin was.

They must not be disappointed this time!

On the other hand, because of the lack of the control of the Xie family's grandmother, Xie Liangying, who was going out more and more freely, was discussing the matter of the shop with Shopkeeper Zhou and Wei Yang in his fat powder shop.

Nowadays, the fat powder business is getting bigger and bigger, and it has long surpassed the calligraphy and painting business. Xie Liangying planned to change the calligraphy and painting shop downstairs, and all of them were in the fat powder business.

"Many of these paintings and calligraphy are still made by famous artists." Xie Liangying clicked on the booklet, "Pick some and donate them to Taixue, they can use them anyway." Others, which please women, are sold with fat powder. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou wrote down everything Xie Liangying said, "Then I'll prepare." ”

"Hmm." Xie Liangying nodded, and remembered something again, "Shopkeeper, you said, let's shop...... Do you want to find some down-and-out women to entertain customers in the store? It turned out that those were good, but they were men. Most of the people who buy fat powder are women, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Shopkeeper Zhou said: "It's good, but where are those guys going, does the owner have any arrangements?" They are counting on this idea to support their families. ”

Xie Liangying smiled: "This is easy to do, I have been looking at the place recently, and I am preparing to open another rice shop." Those guys happen to be tall and tall in blood, so it won't be a problem to carry a few bags of rice, right? She took the calculation and fought violently, "Before the shop opened, we still paid our salaries as usual, and if they wanted to find another place, they could do it, but the money would not be given." ”

Want to get two cents and only do one job? Where is such a good thing?

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded to Wei Yang and went downstairs to talk to those guys.

Wei Yang licked the pen and wrote down the account on the paper, "How did the owner think of opening a rice shop?" Didn't you say you wanted to open an embroidery shop before? ”

Xie Liangying said with a smile: "But I found that opening another embroidery shop can't compete with those time-honored brands, so I thought, it's better to sell the embroidery directly in the fat powder shop." Anyway, the people who went back and forth were all girls' houses, and they happened to buy them together, so they didn't have to go to other houses. She put the abacus away, "Even if I can't sell it, it's okay, I'll take the embroidery as a gift, buy a hundred taels of powder, and give an embroidered handkerchief." ”

Wei Yang shook his head lightly and laughed. "Speaking of which, the owner, some customers from our shop don't come often recently." Wei Yang put down the pen, "They are all noble ladies of official eunuchs, and they usually came to pick them up by themselves, but now they have sent their subordinates." ”

"Isn't that bad?" Xie Liangying asked him, "The maid also needs to use fat powder." ”

"I don't mean that." Wei Yang said, "Probably this year is a good year, I always feel that many people are pregnant at this juncture." ”

Xie Liangying thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement, "I think so too." Didn't my cousin and Aunt Wu from King Ke's Mansion just give birth? The married ladies in Jingzhong, who are older than me, are almost pregnant. She carefully observed Wei Yang's expression, "My second sister also brought back a letter some time ago, saying that she has a body. ”

Wei Yang's face was light, and his movements were like flowing water, and he didn't seem to be affected by Xie Liangying's words in the slightest. "Then congratulations to the owner."

Seeing that Wei Yang didn't have any mustard in his heart, Xie Liangying was relieved. "I'm still thinking about going to see my second sister later. We hadn't seen each other in a long time, and I missed her so much. I don't know if the Li family is good to her, and she always reports good news and not bad news. ”

"Does the owner know that Mrs. Zeng and Imperial Doctor Cai are about to have a good time?" Wei Yang pulled the topic away, as if he didn't want to talk too much about Xie Liangqing.

This is something Xie Liangying never expected, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak clearly, "Cai, Cai Xing, and Mrs. Zeng?" She pressed uncertainly, "Yes...... Do I know that Mrs. Zeng? ”

Wei Yang nodded, "Naturally." Could it be that the owner still knows Mrs. Zeng next to him? He said, "Miss Liu also responded." A few days ago, Imperial Doctor Cai came to the shop to inquire about me, saying that Mrs. Zeng usually likes to use fat powder. I guess I want to buy some and put them in the dowry. ”

Xie Liangying looked disgusted, "I haven't heard of anyone who gives a dowry gift and fat powder, so Cai Ying can figure it out." ”

However, "Mrs. Zeng can finally find a good home." Xie Liangying clapped her hands, "Although Cai Xing is a little annoying, he is still a good person, and his medical skills are excellent. Mrs. Zeng is afraid that she will not worry about a small illness and pain in the future, and the imperial doctor is on the side, and she is still worried about something. ”

Wei Yang smiled: "The doctor is not an immortal, a human ...... Eventually, you are going to die. In the end, Wei Yang's voice was a little low, and he didn't know what he remembered.

Xie Liangying didn't take his words to heart, "If you can live for a day, you have to live a happy life." What do you want to do? ”

"Yes."

Out of the shop, Xie Liangying said to Shuangjue: "Ah Jian can be in the Hou Mansion?" The implication is that she misses Xue Jian.

How could Shuangjue not know what Xie Liangying meant, but she was a little embarrassed: "The master is busy now, he was ordered by the emperor a few days ago, and he wants to investigate something." ”

This made Xie Liangying interested, "Do you know...... What is it? ”

Shuangjue was not upstairs, so he didn't know that Wei Yang and Xie Liangying had mentioned the successive pregnancies of the noblewomen in Beijing. She said: "The slave doesn't know what the specific thing is. I just heard my sister in the Hou Mansion say that it has something to do with the recent pregnancy of a woman in Beijing. ”

"Huh?" Xie Liangying's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart, is it still related to what Wei Yang mentioned?

Shuangjue helped Xie Liangying into the car, "I don't know who started it, it is said that there is a miracle doctor in a temple on the outskirts of Beijing, who specializes in treating childless." Many noble ladies who have a difficult heir have begged for a prescription with a lot of money. It worked, and many ladies became pregnant shortly after taking it. ”

After Xie Liangying beat Ma Heyu, he sneered at those doctors who were named "miracle doctors". "Who knows if it will be another 'horse doctor'."

Shuangjue smiled: "But those ladies are indeed pregnant." The youngest daughter-in-law of Shuntian Mansion Yin has been through the door for more than ten years, and her stomach has not moved. But within a few months of taking the medicine, I called for a happy pulse. ”

"Is there such a god?" Xie Liangying was a little unconvinced, "If it really wants to be so effective, then I'm afraid that no one will worship Guanyin." Let's all go and worship the miracle doctor. ”

Shuangjue pretended to be surprised and said, "How can Madame know? Nowadays, many ladies have offered the immortal tablet of the divine doctor in their own homes. ”

"You know how to make fun of me." Xie Liangying shrugged his nose and pouted, "You must have learned from Xue Jian badly, and you will not be allowed to meet him in the future." ”

Shuangjue covered her mouth and smiled: "Okay, well, the slave and maid don't see the master, so that the lady won't be jealous." ”

"Eat...... What to eat...... I didn't! ”

Shuangjue served Xie Liangying and sat firmly, and said to the coachman through the curtain: "Let's go, go home." ”

The carriage moved slowly.

Xie Liangying pushed Shuangjue, "What happened later?" It is said that this is a good thing, why should the saint investigate? Don't...... He still wants to be reborn...... Several? ”

Although it is true that there are still a few more princes and princesses at the age of the saint today, Xie Liangying is still frightened by his own assumption. She quickly shook her head, "Or which prince and princess has such a hidden disease?" Therefore, the saint specially asked Ah Jian to check the details of the miracle doctor, and if it was appropriate, he would bring it into the palace. ”

Shuangjue shook his head, "The slave maid heard that this is not the case. Rather......" she frowned, "although many ladies are pregnant, but there are not a few who have miscarriages. ”

This is not surprising. Xie Liangying said: "I heard Cai Xing mention that if a perennial infertile woman is forcibly pregnant, it is indeed easy to have a miscarriage. It shouldn't really matter, right? The foundation itself is not very good, and then it is okay to do things, and it is inevitable that you will hurt your body. As soon as the body is injured, it is natural that I can't conceive it. ”

"The girl is right." Shuangjue's face became stern, "But those stillbirths after the lady's miscarriage are not quite the same as those next to them." Now it has been spread among some doctors in Beijing. ”

Xie Liangying blinked, "It's different?" What's the difference? ”

Shuangjue lowered his voice, "I heard that they are all ghost fetuses, and some have more than one, but several." ”

Xie Liangying compared her belly, "What do you mean...... Those women who have not conceived for many years either do not conceive, or how many are pregnant? She imagined for a moment, if she could really keep it, how big would her belly be? Before Wu Yi gave birth, Xie Liangying felt terrible just by looking at it, and her stomach seemed to be bursting.

Wu Yi is only pregnant with one, if there are several babies stuffed in her belly, wouldn't it be ......

Xie Liangying rubbed her face to calm herself.

"Is the girl alright?" Shuangjue looked at Xie Liangying, whose face was not quite right, and asked her with concern, "Is it that my mattress is not soft enough today, and I am upside down my wife?" ”

Xie Liangying shook her head and motioned for Shuangjue to continue, "Is this like this for everyone?" Pregnant with a ghost fetus, and miscarried. ”

"Not all of them. There were also women who gave birth to children safely, but most of them were several children. They were all born prematurely, so the number of babies who survived was in the minority. But the more this is the case, the more people are eager to seek children. It is always a blessing to have many children and many blessings. ”

Xie Liangying pursed her lips, "I don't want such a blessing." Hard October, once a childbirth. As a result, the child can't be raised, so it would be sad to be a mother instead. ”

Shuangjue chuckled, "Yes, seeing the death of your own child, the mother must be the most heart-wrenching." ”
