In the first month of the year, the snow is heavy, and the air is filled with the joy of the New Year. The plain white snow-lined couplets of the Ye University Scholars' House are even brighter. The home school in Yefu starts earlier than other places, and the children are all in school, and the home is quiet. From time to time, there were a few firecrackers in the distance, which was very peaceful. Mrs. Ye Pan enjoyed a rare leisure, squinting on the couch and thinking, the eldest sister of the big house will be fifteen this year, and it can be said that she is in the mother-in-law's house. Who should you find? The eldest sister said that she was close, and she went to Brother Shu, and she could hold her great-grandson in less than two years, and she was happy when she thought about it!

Suddenly, a panicked footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and the old lady frowned, and was about to speak, when she heard a female voice with a crying voice: "Old lady! Our wife is going to give birth! ”

The old lady slammed up from the couch: "What did you say?" ”

The girl replied: "Mrs. Fang Cai was walking under the porch, and somehow she broke her foot, and after being frightened, she saw red. ”

The old lady chuckled in her heart, her eldest daughter-in-law Chen was less than eight months pregnant: "Hurry up and call a taxi, please stabilize your wife!" After saying that, he walked briskly to the east courtyard.

The east courtyard is already in chaos, the young master and the girl are all in school, and there is no serious master in the courtyard who can speak. The two aunts were just scurrying around the house. The old lady came to the door, looked at them with disgust, and exclaimed, "Go back to the house, what a mess!" The children are in the East Cross Courtyard, and they can't hear the sound because the sound is too small. Shocked brothers and sisters, look at which one of you I spared! ”

Aunt Zhou and Aunt Sun both paused, the woman gave birth ferociously, and she usually avoided the girls, for fear that they would be frightened when they were young, and it would be easy to have a difficult birth in the future. They were all people with daughters, blushing and quietly slipping along the cracks in the wall.

The old lady went directly into the inner room, only to see Chen's face pale and tears in her eyes: "Old lady...... I ......"

The old lady patted Chen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't panic, it must be that kid who has to catch up with the dumplings for the New Year." I'm watching from the outside, and I'll be there in a while. If you ask someone to take the old lady's post to the doctor, it will be safe and secure. ”

Chen's abdomen was in severe pain, and his heart was even more painful. Why was it so careless! It's easy to get pregnant, what should I do if I can't give birth? After entering the door for more than ten years, she gave birth to a girl in the first year, and she was overwhelmed by Aunt Zhou. After a few days of happiness, I ...... Thinking of this, tears can't stop flowing.

The filth in the eldest son's yard, the old lady knew in her heart. The Chen family is dignified and virtuous, but after being dignified, it is not as good as the small family's understanding of Xiaoyi, and Aunt Zhou gave birth to a son, a wife in the main house, and an Aunt Sun and Aunt Wei who died, but the three did not rob her. The old lady is a mother-in-law, of course she likes Chen, who likes the little wife if she has nothing to do. can't resist his son, and for the sake of his grandson, it's even more difficult to fall into Aunt Zhou's face. Finally, the Chen family is pregnant again, and she wants to give birth to a brother, and the big house will be stable. Who knew that it was premature again! It took more than ten years to get pregnant, and I was usually very careful, why did I break my foot today? It can't help but arouse suspicion. It's just that I can't care so much now, and the safety of Chen's mother and son is important.

Yefu is the number of people in the capital, and even the princes are respected. There is a summoning in his house, regardless of whether the imperial doctor or the stable woman, they all run wildly. Wen Po caused the car to fall apart, and she didn't dare to speak. When he got to the ground, he jumped out of the car and climbed to the second gate.

The old lady saw Wen Po, and she didn't need her to salute, so she hurriedly said, "Go and see inside." ”

Wen Po has said hello a long time ago, count the days, and her heart is not good! Seeing that Chen's pants had fallen off, blood was gurgling, but the palace entrance was not opened, I was afraid that it would hang! came out and said to the old lady, "Do you have a doctor?" Hurry up and prescribe a prescription to grab oxytocic drugs! ”

"I've called in a doctor." The old lady lowered her voice and asked, "Do you think it matters?" ”

Wen Po's face was solemn, and she also whispered: "Old lady, do you want to keep the big one or the small one?" ”

The old lady said with a calm face: "That, it's Mrs. Dafang." In other words, if you are not a little wife who is in charge of giving birth to children, she will die when she dies. Can a grave woman die casually? People still have a mother's family! It's not that the big house doesn't have a son. Although he wants his grandson, he doesn't dare to joke about his serious daughter-in-law.

Wen Po understood: "The old woman and son try their best to protect both, but the woman gives birth, and she depends on the heavens and fate, and manpower cannot be forced." The old lady should not put incense on the pillar in front of the Buddha. ”

The old lady groaned for a while, the old lady of her family was a Confucian student, and when she opened her mouth, she was silent and confused. Although she didn't care that she invited the Bodhisattva at home, she didn't want to see a big deal about it.

At this time, the old lady's companion Du's mother said: "According to me, there is no need for anything else." It's better to pull a thousand catties of rice to the temple and give it up. In the cold winter, many poor families can't open the pot. Bodhisattvas are all spiritual, and seeing that we have done good deeds, it is better to win the heart of her old man than to do good deeds. ”

The old lady's eyes lit up, and at that time, the officials were half money and half rice. The master of the family did not eat Lu rice, but saved a lot. Even if it is a good deed, the old lady will not stop it, and said to Du's mother: "It's still thoughtful as you think." I don't feel at ease when I send someone else, this matter must be urgent and comprehensive. It snowed heavily for three or four days, and not only did I have no food, but I am afraid that the house has collapsed a lot. If you want to do good, you will do it all. Take someone to count the remaining timber and old clothes in your house, and send them to the temple. Be careful when scattering porridge, tell you to line up, and don't step on it. Kill people......" swallowed back the last half of the sentence.

Mother Du nodded solemnly, doing good deeds and making human lives, I am afraid that the Bodhisattva will be annoyed. I ordered a few people who needed it, and immediately opened the warehouse.

From time to time, when the imperial doctor arrived, he was not allowed to enter the inner room. Only open prescriptions outside. Chen Fang still understood, but at the moment, he was in a daze, and the medicine was almost injectable. Fortunately, the Imperial Doctor always had a medicine filler to deal with the past. The old lady's heart sank inch by inch, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had not blushed for more than ten years, and she was very sad when she saw Chen's appearance. It's strange that the world loves his son, if it's a daughter who doesn't make much noise in it, not a daughter-in-law, it can dig out the mother's heart and liver!

After a while, I heard a scream inside, and heard Wen Po say: "Don't make a sound, don't make a sound, don't use force, the palace mouth has not yet opened." It was a waste of effort. It's not the first time that my wife has been born, and she knows that she can't give birth to a child without a day and a night. ”

Chen endured the pain and said intermittently: "Don't startle the girls, wait for them to get out of school and lead them to the old lady's courtyard." ”

"Don't worry about it, I'm here." The old lady simply entered the house, sat down on the kang opposite Chen's bed, and instructed the girl, "Do you hear me?" Don't frighten the kids. After thinking about it, he said, "When Brother Shu gets out of school, ask his father to come home." "Originally, there was no need to invite men home to give birth, but Chen's was not very good, in case ...... I always want them to see each other.

How big is the birth of a big house? The Ye Mansion had already fried the pot. The place where the girls went to school was originally a cross-courtyard built next to the wall in the east courtyard, and I had already heard it. The eldest girl, Ting Yao, and the fourth girl, Ting Fang, had long been panicked. My husband also knows a little about family matters, so I don't care about it today. Just keep them in class and don't make a mess.

And the Chen family is a mound woman, which is tighter than other wives. As soon as the second wife, Yue, heard that she was born prematurely, she knew the danger and hurriedly went to the east courtyard. went out and bumped into the third wife, Qin, and the two concubines were in one place, and they all hurried to the east courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I asked, "Old lady, how is my sister-in-law?" ”

The old lady glanced at her two daughters-in-law, afraid that what Chen would hear, she would just say anything. Yue Shi looked at its color, and guessed eight points in his heart. whispered: "Is there still ginseng at home?" ”

The old lady raised her chin towards the bed: "It's not good." I have called for someone to look for it in the shop. ”

Yue Shi thought for a while: "I seem to remember that someone gave my father one a year ago, and I asked someone to ask for it." ”

The old lady shook her head: "It's very good for people to send your father." You go to beg, your father-in-law is not good and doesn't give it, but we trouble him. ”

Yue Shi smiled: "It's just ginseng, just cut one or two slices, and don't want the whole plant." I'm shameless, so I'm going to ask for it. ”

The old lady's heart was anxious, and when it was time to save her life, she was not polite, and nodded: "Thank my in-laws for me." ”

Yue's family called to accompany the room, so generally speaking, the companion room went to the Yue Eunuch's house in response.

The third wife, Qin, saw that there was no place for her own feet, she was originally a concubine's daughter-in-law, and she had to serve more carefully than the next one. After racking his brains, he remembered the children and said, "What about the master and the girls?" ”

The old lady said: "I'm still studying, so I didn't tell sΓΉ." Tell me to go back to my yard. ”

Qin said: "I'll pick it up, the people are afraid that they won't be able to stop the big girl." ”

"It's fine."

The Qin clan breathed a sigh of relief and also took the people away.

At noon, the oxytocic medicine was poured three times, and the uterine opening was still not opened. The eldest lord got the letter and hurried from the yamen. Yue Shi hurriedly avoided it. Seeing the old lady's sad face, she was speechless. The mother and son sat opposite each other without saying a word.

said that Aunt Zhou was drunk into the house by the old lady, and opened a window crack to watch the movement. Scratching my heart with a hundred claws, if my wife ...... Isn't that ...... Her mother's family is attached to the Ye family to make a fortune, and it is customary to pay filial piety to silver at all four seasons and eight festivals. Thinking about the silver that his mother's family kept carrying into Chen's house, he didn't feel distressed at this time. But when I think about it, I feel bad again. The old man is still young, and he can't help but continue the strings. If there is a younger and better wife, who occupies a righteous position and has a son, it will be her business. Top ...... The wife has another daughter, there is only her son in the first room, and when the old lady dies, Ye Fu is not up to her! No matter how good your background is, it's useless if you can't give birth! Thinking like this, he respectfully bowed to the west three times: "I ask my wife to give birth to my sister safely, and I will light a forty-eight pound lantern in front of the Buddha!" ”

Aunt Sun has another idea, she only has one daughter, and it is not good for her to die of her wife, but she hopes that her wife is safe and sound, and it is better to give birth to a brother and kill the arrogance of the other door! Why? She's still the old lady's reward! Being pressed by his wife is respectful and orderly, but being pressed by the prostitute at the opposite door, how can he bear it? When the time comes, you will have a son and grandson, see how arrogant you are! Hum! She also bowed to the west three times, and she was willing to eat for three months of fasting, in order to seek the safety of his wife, mother and son.

Until the evening, there was no movement. Ting Fang was in the old lady's courtyard, secretly rolling her eyes at God, she wouldn't die again to her mother, right? God, you have a grudge against me, you have to!
