Ting Fang pondered in the main courtyard, it was already dark, and there were lights everywhere. However, the illumination of the candles was limited, and the night was like a thick fog that enveloped the capital tightly, leaving only the snow reflected from the ground and the faint candle flame, which was almost invisible. The brothers and sisters in the second and third rooms have all gone home, and now only the four sisters in their big room and the only one Jin Sun Tingshu nest in the old lady's west room, served by their respective wet nurses.

The eldest girl Ting Yao's eyes were swollen when she cried, if she wasn't afraid of taboos, it is estimated that her tears had not stopped. She is fifteen years old, and she has more than a dozen brothers and sisters, although she doesn't know the specifics of childbirth, but she also knows that such silence must be unpleasant. Not to mention the side, when Tingfang was born, she was also so dignified, and sure enough, Aunt Wei went not long after giving birth to the child. raised his eyes and looked at Tingfang, so he cried again.

Ting Fang rubbed her temples, full of sorrow. Is there anyone more unlucky than her? I wore it to ancient times, and my mother died when I first came. It's easy for me to grow up to nine years old without illness or disaster, okay, my grandmother, who pulled her up with one hand, is going to hang up again! As a concubine who is neither older nor younger, not a concubine and no little Dingding, she is really not eye-catching among more than a dozen brothers and sisters. That is, the mother-in-law has few children herself, and she has no mother, so she takes care of it more. The two aunts are just face-saving, in the eyes of the grandmother, there is only the eldest sister Ting Yao and the second room from Ting Shan, the third room is from the concubine, and the third wife raised Ting Xiu is a big theory, if there is not a mother-in-law with a good heart, then how can you say it? I can't live the days when the bitter juice is wrung out!

With a long sigh, the Chen family was also unlucky, and it was estimated that the unlucky Cheng Dù could be comparable to her Ye Tingfang. Shundang's mother-in-law, who is easy to marry, and her temperament does not grind her teeth, and she can't give birth to a son. In ancient times, if you don't have a son, you have no confidence, and for many years, you can only be blindly virtuous and virtuous, because you still have a mother-in-law on your head, and you don't dare to make a mistake in everything, so you can cheapen her. If the Chen family treats her like a daughter, she is afraid that the ghosts will not believe it, and she will poke a serious biological daughter in front of her; But if Chen doesn't love her, he has no conscience. is probably equivalent to an aunt and aunt, and it can hurt her head behind her own daughter. What's more, she is wearing it, and she is naturally cheaper than the other two sisters, Tinglan Tingwu, and she hugs her thighs cleanly. The mother-in-law is like a mother-in-law, and she has a correct mentality, and she is doing well.

However, at this time, the Chen family was wandering in front of the ghost gate, and Ting Fang felt that she had to do something. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Big sister, I'll go to kneel in front of the Buddha." ”

Ting Yao hurriedly said, "Let's go together." ”

Tinglan rolled her eyes, and scolded in her heart: You will please Qiao'er. He rolled his eyes and said, "Wait." Big sister, I just heard from the girl that the old lady took rice to boil porridge and eat it with the poor, according to me, our sisters also expressed their hearts. ”

Ting Fang was suddenly a little embarrassed, cough, she was poor......

Tinglan smiled secretly: Knowing that you are poor, you have to spend money, so you can make a shocking sound on weekdays.

Ting Yao was sick and rushed to the doctor, and hurriedly nodded yes, asking the girl to go and get the private money. She is the eldest daughter, the first child of Yefu, and her grandfather is a political envoy of Jiangxi, and she has a lot of private houses. The two girls actually carried a small box, which was full of all kinds of copper coins, gold and silver bills, and other things. Tinglan was poorer and had a lot of gold and silver. The brothers and sisters Tingshu and Tingwu are dependent on the Ye Mansion because their biological family is a merchant who is attached to the Ye Mansion, and the poor only have money left, and they are even a small box per person, which is comparable to Ting Yao. Ting Fang's face turned green, her aunt was originally a tenant farmer in Ye Mansion, because Aunt Sun couldn't pinch Aunt Zhou, and saw that she was in good color, so she was admitted in. It's nothing to be a tenant farmer, but Aunt Sun is still a child. The problem is that her cheap uncle is a sick man, and he will be sick for three seasons a year, and she can't watch her uncle die, even if it depends on Wei's life and death! I had to fill all the holes with all the money in my private house. Daily food and clothing are provided by the government, where to pay for the silver now.

Fortunately, Ting Fang was also single, so he directly pulled out the hairpin and returned the bracelet, and threw it on the kang table: "In this case, please ask the big brother to buy it." The sisters are not allowed to go out, and they are powerless if they have the heart. Besides, the old lady gave up the rice, and it was not interesting for us to add it, and it was even more inconvenient. It is better to exchange all the money and put it in the drugstore, and if a poor man picks up the medicine, he will give it from our money. ”

"Yes, I won't give up porridge and rice, I don't have to make trouble, it's not good." Tingshu raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and said, "It's curfew, I'm afraid I can only go tomorrow." ”

Ting Yao was in a hurry, for fear that if he was late, the king of Hades would come to collect people. Ting Fang hurriedly persuaded: "Big sister is uneasy, let's go and kneel together." Giving money horizontally and vertically has nothing to do with kneeling. ”

Tinglan's eyes widened, this is okay!?

Tingfang, Xiaozhen, don't think I don't know your little bit of caution. took Ting Yao and went to the old lady's Buddhist hall, knelt down very calmly, and did not move. Whoever stands in the way of her sycophancy, she will kill her!

are all "raised" by a mother, seeing that Tingyao Tingfang is kneeling, how can the remaining three be able to watch? They all knelt in front of the Buddha and chanted sutras. Ting Fang's gifts to the elders year after year are all kinds of Buddhist scriptures and filial piety scriptures, and he is very proficient in scriptures. Carrying it on his back, his heart slowly calmed down. She really wants the Chen family to be good, not just to be angry with Tinglan. As a good young man who grew up with five stresses and four beauties, he was originally an atheist. But now that I'm wearing it, I can't help but mutter, maybe there really is a god? At this time, there was no surgery, and whether Chen could survive or not was indeed fateful. Maybe reciting the scriptures, it is not known whether you can get out of danger. I closed my eyes and began to recite the Blood Basin Sutra seriously.

As the night deepened, there was still no good news in the eastern courtyard. As soon as the third watch's bangzi knocked, Ting Yao's heart skipped half a beat, and she couldn't help sobbing lowly. Tingfang's kneeling feet were numb, and even the little goddess of Nepal begged to no avail, and she was about to cry. Suddenly, the old lady's big girl Bajiao hurriedly came in and said to Ting Yao: "Big girl, the old lady called you." ”

Ting Yao's eyes were dark, and she almost fell to the ground. Ting Fang hurriedly helped: "Let's go together." ”

Tingshu looked at the face of the octagonal and speculated about the condition of his mother-in-law. It must not be a good letter, otherwise it would have been shouted for money; When a woman gives birth to a child and does not allow the girl to come near, she is afraid that it will be ...... My heart couldn't help but thump twice.

Ting Yao cried all the way and stumbled into the east courtyard, and the girl chased after her with a cloak. When he arrived in the east courtyard, the eldest man had already avoided the outer study, where the Yue family and the Qin family accompanied the old lady. As soon as he wanted to enter the door, he was stopped by his mother-in-law: "The eldest girl is not allowed to enter the blood room." Mrs. Fang fainted to death, you go to the window and shout a few times, maybe you will wake up. ”

When Ting Yao heard this, she sat down on the stone steps and cried, crying all the way and calling her mother.

Chen's eyelids moved, but they still didn't open. The old lady was so confused that she couldn't explain to her mother-in-law! Yue's heart lamented, please Ting Yao is already a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and the needle has been pricked and the medicine has been filled, but now there is no way at all, just look at the sky!

"Mother! Mother! I haven't seen you in over a day, and I miss you! Come out and see me! Ting Yao cried heartbreakingly, and the Yue clan and the Qin clan also wiped their eyes with a handkerchief half-truth. The sound of the child calling his mother is really worrying.

"I made little shoes for my brother, and you can get up and see if they fit. Mother...... Mother......"

Ting Fang thought of Chen's kindness, and tears fell down with the brush.

The aunt of the big house was not clever, and when she saw Ting Yao and Ting Fang howling, she hurriedly pushed her daughter to the window and cried. Ting Wu was only seven years old, and her aunt gave birth to the only son in the long house, and the treatment on weekdays was not worse than that of Ting Yao, so she was more ignorant, and she knelt with her sisters for a long time, and her mind was dizzy. was pinched by her aunt, and immediately cried sharply. Just crying, and shouted: "Auntie, why are you pinching me!" ”

Aunt Zhou's feet are weak and broken! The old lady told her to stay in the house! I didn't dare to do anything superfluous, so I slipped back to the room and hid.

The old lady hated the itchy root of her teeth, and she just wanted to wait to beat Aunt Zhou to death immediately! What a broken vision of her son! Why do you like a broken house? Looking at Aunt Sun again, she is even more angry, the main mother is going to die, what are you muttering to your daughter? Look at Ting Fang's breathlessness crying, gritting her teeth and thinking: Sure enough, the living concubines are not good things!

Yue Shi went to the bed again and looked at it, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, do you hear me?" The children are crying hoarsely, and you can't bear to leave them? ”

Chen's eyelids moved again.

Yue's continued efforts: "The eldest girl is about to find her mother-in-law's house, can you settle down if you don't keep it?" You can't bear to say that your brother will be born without a mother? I sue you, Wen Po touched it, the one in your belly is a brother. Hurry up, slow and suffocating! Think about it, it's been more than ten years, it's easy to have a brother, but you can't hold it back! Sister-in-law, if you still have the strength, bite the ginseng slice in your mouth, borrow some strength, and give birth in one go. You have to wait to see the title of his gold list, and play horses and parade the streets! ”

Chen was in a semi-coma, and he vaguely heard Yue's voice, and he couldn't tell which one it was. Her daughter's cries came from all directions, and she wanted to comfort her, but she didn't have the strength. Listening to the vague voice, the brother in his stomach was about to suffocate, and he was shocked into a cold sweat! Why did she have to fight for her life? It's not about raising a son. has a son, she can stand firm, and her daughter has a fall. If she dies now, her daughter will have to live in the hands of Aunt Zhou - even if she has a house, she will not be able to move the concubine who has given birth to a son for a while. Thinking of Yi □□ Yao's eldest daughter, she still has to look at the face of the concubine, even if she dies, she will be angry and alive, not to mention that she is still angry. I took a bite of the ginseng slice in my mouth, sucked the juice hard, and my heart was ruthless, so I didn't believe that I couldn't give birth!

Don't be afraid, my sister! Even if I die, I will give you a brother who can support you first! You wait!
