116. Infertility

"Girl!" Yinzhu panicked, "This, see, see red!" ”

Cui Xiuwan's face also changed. Even if she has confidence in Wei Yuan, she is not blind, Mrs. Wei's attitude was clear yesterday, and now the child in her womb is her last bargaining chip, and she must not lose!

"What's the panic, go and tell my aunt, I'm a little uncomfortable, let someone invite a man." Cui Xiuwan gently touched her lower abdomen. Yesterday, I asked Yinzhu to spread the word, but the Wei family didn't move, so today I simply asked a Lang Zhong to come to diagnose the pulse and expose the matter.

Before Yinzhu went out, Mrs. Wei had already led a Lang Zhong to come, and with a smile on her face, she only said that Cui Xiuwan had worked hard these days: "Let Lang Zhong diagnose the pulse and prescribe a recuperation prescription, don't lose your body." ”

Cui Xiuwan felt like a mirror in her heart, and sat down without refusing. There are not many rules in such small counties, and Lang Zhong doesn't have to have a screen or anything in the middle to diagnose the pulse of the female dependents, just put a silk handkerchief on his wrist.

Langzhong is around fifty years old, and it is the most famous in the county. After examining Cui Xiuwan's left and right hands, she said with a smile: "Young grandma is too worried these days, she is a little depressed, and she has worked hard, and her body is somewhat lost." Fortunately, the young grandmother was young and did not hurt her vitality, so she only needed to recuperate for a month or two, and she naturally recovered as before. ”

Cui Xiuwan waited for a long time, but she didn't see him get to the point, so she couldn't help but glance at Yinzhu. Yin Zhu was also anxious, and when he received a hint from his own girl, he couldn't care about anything else, so he said, "What about the child in my girl's womb?" Yesterday, the carriage was bumpy, and some of them were red. ”

Lang Zhong looked surprised: "The child in the womb? The young grandmother is not pregnant, where did she come from-"Where did the child come from?"

At this time, Cui Xiuwan's face changed completely. Yinzhu cried out in a lost voice: "You are talking nonsense! My girl is more than two months pregnant! ”

The expression on Lang Zhong's face was as if he had been knocked head-on, and he glanced at Mrs. Wei before saying, "In this way, the old man will have another diagnosis." ”

Cui Xiuwan's face was pale, she only felt that the pain in her lower abdomen was even worse, and her backache was so sore that she could barely sit still, so she moved, and a hot current gushed out from under her body, and she couldn't help but hold her lower abdomen: "I, my child!" ”

This time the house was really turned on his back, Lang Zhong hurriedly avoided the house, and after a while, Mrs. Wei came out with a calm face: "Can the doctor diagnose clearly?" ”

Lao Langzhong never expected to see this farce on his visit today. He has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has also walked through various backyards, although he doesn't know what to do, he also knows that this matter is a trouble, so he has to say: "Although the old man does not specialize in gynecology, he can still diagnose whether he is happy or not." What's more, according to what the lord said, the young grandmother has been pregnant for nearly three months, and there will be no wrong diagnosis, and there is really no pregnancy. ”

"Then this is red-" Mrs. Wei actually has a bottom in her heart, but she doesn't understand how Cui Xiuwan is so bold, she has never had sex at all, and she actually made up that she is pregnant to lie to her.

"Young grandma, this is a menstrual irregularity, so it should be a menstrual period." After all, Lao Langzhong is experienced, and explained, "If some women are depressed, the menstrual period will be chaotic, and the young grandmother should have been worried about the young master's illness before, so that in the future, she mistakenly thought that she was pregnant. After thinking about it, he added, "Sometimes women are desperate to get pregnant, and sometimes they are pregnant. ”

Mrs. Wei was surprised: "And this matter? ”

"It is true." Lao Langzhong said with certainty, "The old man also encountered such symptoms in his early years, the pulse was like a bead, and there were various symptoms such as vomiting and not thinking about eating......

Mrs. Wei thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "If you haven't completed the room yet, will it be the same?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he wondered what this lady meant, whether the woman who had never broken her body would be like this. This question is really strange, Lao Langzhong has practiced medicine for decades, and he has never seen a girl from any family with some symptoms, thinking of the strange atmosphere in the house, he had to answer vaguely: "This old man has not seen it yet...... There are also people who have irregular menstrual water...... but when he saw the girl's house that thought he was pregnant when the menstrual water was unadjusted, he really hadn't seen it.

Mrs. Wei coughed dryly, ordered someone to send Lao Langzhong a generous amount of medical money, sent the person out, and went to Cui Xiuwan's room herself.

Cui Xiuwan had changed out of her blood-stained underwear at this moment and was sitting on the bed in a daze. Mrs. Wei came in, looked at it for a week, and drove the maids out, leaving only Yinzhu in the house, and closed the door before saying, "What's going on?" ”

Cui Xiuwan couldn't answer at all, but Yinzhu knelt down and said: "Before leaving Beijing, our girl quietly went to the hospital to check the pulse, it is indeed a happy pulse!" ”

Mrs. Wei thought of what Lao Langzhong said, and for a while she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, and said coldly: "Nonsense! Shut up! ”

Cui Xiuwan was still sitting in a daze, pressing her hand on her lower abdomen. Mrs. Wei took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Sister Xiu, what's going on?" Brother Yuan said, he has never had sex with you at all, how can you be pregnant? ”

Cui Xiuwan was already in a complete trance. When Lao Lang checked the pulse, he said that she was not pregnant, she just didn't believe it, but just now she was bleeding, and the pain in her lower abdomen was lighter, which was exactly the same as the situation of menstruation on weekdays, so she had to believe it. But if she had known that she had no children, how could she elope with Wei Yuan, and how could she have ended up where she is today?

Mrs. Wei's voice woke her up from her coma: Now that the Cui family has done a funeral for her, her mother's family will never go back, if she can't catch Wei Yuan, where else can she go?

"Cousin, cousin, he-" At this time, she couldn't care about the reserve and shyness of everyone's ladies, Cui Xiuwan's face was swollen and red, but she still said, "Cousin, he kissed me......"

Yin Zhu kept nodding beside him: "This is the same as getting married!" ”

Mrs. Wei felt that her face was twitching uncontrollably: "What does this have to do with getting married? ”

Yinzhu said a little dazedly: "Isn't marriage just about kissing?" And then, there will be joy......"

Mrs. Wei stared at her for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she seemed to think the same way. At that time, she made a marriage with Master Wei, and then the little sisters next door made fun of her about the marriage, and it seemed that she was kissing and happy, which made her feel that getting married was kissing, and then having a little doll.

Later, when her aunt, who was a grandmother in the palace, came home, her mother felt that when her daughter was about to get married, she should know something, and after asking her aunt to teach her something, she knew what the so-called marriage was.

Now that time has passed for more than 20 years, Mrs. Wei has never given birth to a daughter, and she has long forgotten the ridiculous thoughts when she was a little girl at home, and now she is troubled by Cui Xiuwan, only to remember that she used to be so naΓ―ve and ignorant, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while, so she sat on the edge of the bed for a while, and said in a soft voice: "Sister Xiu'er, this marriage is not just a kiss, or a kiss, and there will be no pregnancy......

If it had been the past, Cui Xiuwan would have listened to these words, but she was afraid that she would blush and be too ashamed to listen to them. However, the more she listened to it, the paler her face became-it turned out that she was not pregnant at all, all the YiqiΔ“ was just her own imagination, she ran out with Wei Yuan so stupidly for a child who did not have it at all, abandoned her mother's family, abandoned a family affair that was envied by others, and could never go back......

Mrs. Wei said a few words, and she couldn't say anything about Cui Xiuwan's miserable face, so she had to cough dryly: "You are a girl who has not left the cabinet, and you don't know these things-" In the end, she couldn't help but complain a little, "Your mother didn't tell you about it?" Anyway, it's a girl who is about to get married, so she should know something. ”

Cui Xiuwan felt that she had never been so sober and calm. Mrs. Wei has been lukewarm since she came, but she always revealed a little complaint, and her previous love for her was gone, so it can be seen that she was unwilling to let her marry Wei Yuan. But if she doesn't marry Wei Yuan, where can she go?

At this time, there is no father, brother and mother who can call the shots for her, although Wei Yuan is lighthearted to her, but if the Wei family does not recognize it, she has no choice.

Seeing that Cui Xiuwan didn't speak, Mrs. Wei was thinking about how to tell her tactfully and send her to Jingxiang's hometown to live for a few days, when she saw Cui Xiuwan stand up abruptly and hit the wall.

Fortunately, the bed was still far from the wall, and there was a silver zhu kneeling in the middle. Cui Xiuwan only rushed two steps, Yinzhu desperately rushed over and hugged her legs, the master and servant rolled to the ground together, Cui Xiuwan's forehead hit the table legs, and suddenly saw blood.

"This, what is this-" Mrs. Wei was startled, and hurriedly came over to help, God, if this is killed, things will be in trouble.

Cui Xiuwan hid her face and just cried: "Auntie, don't care about me." Since my innocence is still there, let me die! It can be regarded as a clean walk in this world, so as not to drag down my cousin. ”

That's a very strange thing to say. In the world, I have only heard of those who seek death because they have been defiled and their innocence, but they have not heard that they are going to die because of their innocence. It's just that Mrs. Wei heard something else from these words.

Obviously, although Wei Yuan did not have sex with Cui Xiuwan, he was intimate. According to the rules, if a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, and such a thing happens, it must be a marriage before a big bed can be covered. Now that Cui Xiuwan is looking for death, even if Wei Yuan doesn't say that he is chaotic and abandoned, he is also wrong.

If Cui Xiuwan doesn't seek death, Mrs. Wei will be able to do it, send her to Jingxiang, slowly grind her idea of marrying Wei Yuan, and then find an identity for her, just marry quietly. But if Cui Xiuwan is looking for death, once the government moves the government, she can't hide anything.

"Sister Xiu, get up." Mrs. Wei's voice hardened unconsciously. Dare to threaten her?

Cui Xiuwan only felt as if her whole person was burning up at this moment, her body was hot, but her heart was cold. Mrs. Wei's voice changed slightly, and she heard it keenly, and without saying a word, she pulled off the hairpin on her head and stabbed it in the throat.

Where could Yinzhu let her really stab herself, and hurriedly cried with one hand: "Girl, the young master hasn't said anything yet, why is the girl looking for death!" Even if you're dead, you're a fool. ”

Cui Xiuwan didn't really want to die, she threw herself on Yinzhu's shoulder and cried: "Why bother to embarrass my cousin, I'm dead!" ”

Mrs. Wei only felt that her head was as big as a fight, but when she remembered her son's expression when he talked about Cui Xiuwan, she didn't dare to do anything about it, so she had to endure her anger and said: "Sister Xiu'er, my aunt didn't say anything, what are you doing looking for death like this?" Brother Yuan is still sick! ”

Saying this, Cui Xiuwan finally stood up, and said: "What my aunt said is that I am going to die, and I should wait for my cousin to get well before going." ”

Mrs. Wei was half angry with her, but seeing that her hair was scattered, her clothes were rolling all gray on the ground, and her face was pale, the blood stains on her forehead became more and more shocking, so she had to ask the maid to invite Langzhong. But Cui Xiuwan stopped and said: "It's such a commotion, I'm afraid of alarming my cousin." ”

Who's going to make trouble! Mrs. Wei was angry, gritted her teeth and asked the maid to fetch hot water to send the wound medicine, and watched Cui Xiuwan wrap the wound and change her clothes, so she casually pointed out something and retreated, and went straight to discuss with Master Wei.

Here Cui Xiuwan sat on the edge of the bed, with a white gauze wrapped on her forehead, and Yinzhu was so shocked that she couldn't stop her tears: "What is the girl doing, it's scared to death!" What if something really happens! ”

Cui Xiuwan clenched her hands: "What do you know, if I don't do this, I really have no choice." You have seen my aunt like that, and now there is no such childβ€”" She put her hands on her lower abdomen, and thought that she had made such a stupid and ridiculous mistake, and felt that she wanted to cry without tears, "Aunt is afraid that she wants to send me far away, and will not let me stay in the Wei family at all!" ”

Yin Zhu thought of something more important at this time, and her tears were scared back: "If Mrs. Aunt doesn't let you-girl, what can we do?" ”

Cui Xiuwan smiled miserably: "If I can't marry my cousin, I'm afraid I can really only die......"

Yinzhu couldn't help but cry again: "It's all to blame on that quack!" If it weren't for himβ€”we wouldn't have come out......"

yes, what if it didn't come out...... Cui Xiuwan looked out the window in a daze, which was in the direction of the capital. Speaking of which, it is not very far from the capital, but in her heart, it is thousands of miles away, and she can never go back. I don't know what will happen to King Anjun when she leaves? Did he agree to marry Youwan, or would he accept another famous lady......

In the capital, as soon as Shen Shu entered the gate of the county king's mansion, he asked the cicada clothes who greeted him: "Is there any letter from the mansion?" ”

When he said the house, he naturally referred to the Yin family of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

"Yes, yes." Cicada Yi said with a smile while replacing his wide coat, "I just sent it this afternoon, and I put it in the study." ”

Shen Shu didn't care to say much, turned his head and walked into the study. He is tall, has long legs and big steps, and the cicada clothes are chasing after him: "Lord Hou and Mrs. also brought things over, do you want to take a look?" ”

"I'll read the letter first." Shen Shu stepped into the study and closed the door casually.

The door closed in front of the cicada, and she stood holding Shen Shu's cloak for a moment, biting her lip and going to the wing. Dieyi was packing up the things she had brought from the northwest, mainly furs. The guards who came back with her things watched her count the numbers against the list while drinking hot ginger tea.

Cicada Yi put down the cloak in his hand, turned around and brought two plates of dim sum, and sneered at Dieyi: "I ran all the way back on a cold day, and I still had an empty stomach, how can I just let people drink tea?" ”

The guard got up and said with a smile: "I've used dry food on the road, and this tea is also hot, so it's warm to drink it." ”

Cicada Yi put the dim sum on the table: "In this weather, the dry food is also frozen, where can I eat." I'll use a few pieces of dim sum first, I've already called the kitchen to make some good soup, and you'll have some food when you've sorted out your things. As he spoke, he asked, "How is Madame?" How is the old lady? How are you doing in the house? ”

The guard smiled, "It's all good." The old lady's body is still so healthy, and she can eat several pieces of braised pork in one meal. It's just that I heard that my aunt has not been very good since the beginning of spring this year, and he always coughs badly, and the old lady is a little worried. The lady was in better health, and often took the girl out for horseback riding. ”

Cicada Yi smiled: "Madame still can't be idle." The topic changed, "Presumably, Madame is also worried about the prince, when you go back this time, did Madame say anything?" Can you mention the prince's family affairs? ”

She and Dieyi were personally selected by the old lady of Dingbei Hou, and they served Shen Shu when they were young, and their concern was also due to be concerned, so the guards didn't care, and replied casually: "Why didn't you say it." The prince's family affair has been delayed for so long, and this kind of thing happened, and the lady was so annoyed that she couldn't do it, and after reading the prince's letter, she asked me to go over and ask a lot of questions. ”

Cicada Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked, "What did you ask?" ”

"It's nothing more than asking about these things in the capital. Didn't the Jiang family send a batch of hemostasis to disperse, and Mrs. asked a lot about the Jiang family, especially Miss Jiang, whether the medical skills were really so good. "The guards have a very good impression of Taohua," I told my wife about Miss Jiang's treatment of the epidemic, and my wife was shocked. ”

Cicada Yi didn't want to hear this, pursed her lips and said, "What else did Madame say?" ”

The guard thought for a moment, "I didn't say anything more. "If it weren't for the fact that he sent the letter back, he shouldn't have entered the inner courtyard, that is, the northwest side, and it was not as big as the rules in the capital, so the lady asked him to go in and reply, so naturally it would not be good to stay for a long time," I only heard that Mrs. asked about what kind of illness she had at her relatives, maybe she wanted Miss Jiang to be treated? ”

Cicada Yi was confused when she heard this, but she didn't show her disappointment on the surface, and only said: "I haven't been back for more than a year, and I don't know what the prince's courtyard is." ”

The guard smiled: "If there is a lady, will it be wasted?" When I went back this time, I heard that my wife asked someone to expand the courtyard, and I was waiting for the prince to bring the princess back, but I am afraid that it will be in vain. ”

Cicada Yi didn't hear the news she wanted to hear, so she said a few words casually, and when Dieyi finished ordering things on the list, she took the list and said: "I'll ask the prince, how to deal with these things, you go to the kitchen to take a look, if the soup is ready, send it to the person who holds the things with some snacks or something." ”

Dieyi wiped the slight sweat on her forehead and ran to the kitchen. Cicada Yi hugged Shen Shu's cloak in one hand and the list in the other, knocked on the door of the study and entered, and saw Shen Shu's brows frowning slightly, and he was distracted by the letter in his hand, and put down the letter when he saw her come in: "Everyone who came back has settled down?" ”

"Don't worry, the prince has already asked the cook to prepare food for them first." Cicada Yi sent the list to the desk, "Look, Mrs. sent a lot of furs." It's time to make a few more clothes for the prince, although it's a bit rushed, but when you enter the palace in the New Year, you should always wear a few fresh ones. ”

Dingbei Hou Mansion in the northwest is not very particular about this, especially in winter, the female dependents have to make a few more new clothes to wear, but the men are mainly practical and warm. Therefore, Shen Shu didn't pay much attention to it, he only looked at the list, and stopped when he was about to throw it away: "This is the red fox skin?" ”

"Yes." Although there are grass foxes in the northwest, the color is mostly earthy yellow, and the red fox fur is very rare. This one was occasionally hunted by Dingbei Hou, and Mrs. Dingbei Hou sent it to her nephew.

Shen Shu groaned slightly, picked up the pen and circled a few places on the list: "Send these to Jiang's mansion, remember to send them quietly." "Momoka seems to like red very much, and if she uses this red fox skin to make a shoulder, she must look very good in it.

Cicada Yi lowered her eyebrows and agreed, glanced at the letter that was detained on the desk, and said with a smile: "Madame is only looking forward to the prince's return, but this year will not be done, it must be disappointed." ”

Shen Shu smiled: "My aunt is indeed a little disappointed. ”

After he said a word, he didn't mention it again, let alone the meaning of the content of the letter, so Cicada Yi had to retreat, took the list to Dieyi and said: "These circles from the prince will be quietly sent to Jiang's house on the fifteenth, don't let anyone know." ”

Dieyi was happy to see it: "Even this red fox skin will be sent?" It can be seen that the prince is interested in Miss Jiang. Huan Xi opened the box that had just been packed up again, and went through the fur.

In the study, Shen Shu picked up the letter on the table again and frowned. This letter was written by Mrs. Dingbei Hou, which did not comment much on what he said about proposing to the Jiang family, but deliberately wrote a paragraph, saying that he had inquired about the Dingbei Hou family and the Dingbei Hou family, and no one had the same contempt as him.

This paragraph didn't say too much, as if it was just brought over like a breeze, but Shen Shu saw the meaning of Mrs. Dingbei Hou from it - she didn't believe that his contempt was passed down by the elders, she was implying that Taohua was lying, and she didn't agree with this family matter, so she avoided talking about the marriage proposal.

Shen Shu pondered for a moment, then picked up his pen and replied with a letter. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Taohua has a very good reason to tell this lie, but Shen Shu always feels that Taohua is not lying, she will neither lie to him, nor disdain to deceive at all. If she said that this kind of contempt may not be manifested in a woman, then perhaps this is the reason why Mrs. Dingbei Hou did not find out.

"Someone sent the letter out, and then prepared some things from the capital and sent them to my aunt and cousin." It doesn't matter, there is still time, let Mrs. Dingbei Hou check it carefully, as long as it can be proved that Taohua is telling the truth, Dingbei Hou Mansion will not stop it again.
