23. Pregnant
Mrs. Su and Taohua stood outside the hall, extremely glad that they didn't follow in just now.
"Let's go over there...... Mrs. Su whispered, turning around and about to walk away, pretending to go to see a podocarpus, but she sighed secretly in her heart. No wonder marriage should pay attention to the right family, the wife of the Jun family is already difficult, not to mention marrying at a low door, she has no face in front of her mother-in-law.
As soon as the two turned around, they heard an exclamation from the maid beside Wen, and when they turned their heads to look, Wen's fell down softly and was held by the two maids. The lord of Nanhua was so angry that his face turned red: "Okay, good, I just said a word, and I actually fainted!" "
"Mother-" Jiang Heng was also very embarrassed when he was next to him, he shouldn't have listened to the things in his brother's room, so he had to retreat to the corner of the hall to see the Buddhist paintings on the four walls. At this time, I saw my sister-in-law fainting, so I came over. Wen's sister-in-law is gentle and thoughtful, and she and her brother are husband and wife, and her mother is like this, Jiang Heng also feels that something is wrong.
The county lord of Nanhua was even more annoyed: "Don't talk about this matter. "It's the other way around. The lord of Nanhua consciously tolerated his daughter-in-law who had not given birth for five years after entering the door, and he was already benevolent and righteous, and he didn't expect to say it to a person today, and his daughter-in-law fainted. She didn't believe that Wen really fainted, but when she pretended, she made up her mind immediately, except for Amber, she would find a good one for her son after she went back, and put at least two people in the room, so as to be like a son-in-law.
Wen's two maids knew that their master was not a fake. These two were brought over by the Wen family, and they didn't care about the Nanhua county lord, so they hurriedly supported the Wen family and called out repeatedly, and the Wen family opened his eyes, only to feel a headache and chest tightness, nausea and vomiting, hindering the Nanhua county lord to watch angrily, so he had to reluctantly endure it and whispered guilt.
"Mother, let my sister-in-law go to the meditation room to rest first, I think I haven't rested well these days, and I'm tired all the way over." Jiang Heng couldn't bear to see Wen standing with a yellow face like this, and whispered to persuade the Nanhua County Lord.
The lord of Nanhua was still angry: "I also worshipped all the way, where I am tired!" Is she expensive? I'd like to ask, which daughter-in-law is more delicate than her mother-in-law! "
Taohua stood outside the hall, watching the Wen family crumbling, only supported by two maids, and suddenly whispered to Mrs. Su: "Madame, can you whisper to Mrs. Jiang Shao and let me take her pulse?" I saw that Mrs. Jiang was indeed unwell. "
Mrs. Su also sympathized with the Wen family in her heart, and when she heard this, she asked Luo Mei to say to the Wen family's maid: "Don't raise your voice, just ask Mrs. Jiang to quit and sit here, and let Miss Jiang quietly diagnose her pulse." "
Luo Mei also knew about the Jiang family's past, nodded and entered the hall, and whispered a few words in the ear of one of Wen's maids. Who knew that the maid didn't know if she was confused or didn't understand Luomei's meaning, but as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she knelt down at the county lord of Nanhua: "The young lady is tired because she has been worried about the county lord's body for the past few days, and she is definitely not pretending to be sick." If the county lord didn't believe it, let Miss Jiang outside check the pulse of the young lady, and she also felt that the young lady was really unwell. "
At this moment, Mrs. Su, Taohua, and even Luomei were stunned, no one thought that Wen's maid would be like this, in order to save her master, she actually turned around and sold others.
"What's wrong with this girl—" Mrs. Su only said half a sentence, and the gaze of the county lord of Nanhua had already turned coldly: "Isn't the Jiang family not a doctor, how can Miss Jiang still diagnose the pulse?" "
When it came to this, Taohua was already riding a tiger, and secretly hated that she shouldn't be troublesome. I knew that Wen's maid was such a bastard, so I shouldn't have sympathized with Wen. But seeing that Wen's is a good woman, just because she has no children, she has fallen to such a point, and she can't help but be a little indignant. On top of that, there was a good chance that Wen should lie down and rest right now, if it was as she thought.
Scolding in his heart, Taohua had already walked into the hall at his feet, and saluted the lord of Nanhua County: "I don't dare to say that I know, but my father also diagnoses the pulse of my mother every day, and the folk daughter has also learned a little." Although he has never been outside to practice medicine, he sees that the young lady is like this, and she is somewhat similar to her mother, so she should rest immediately, so she is bold and talkative, and asks the county lord for forgiveness. "
The county lord of Nanhua sneered: "You care so much about the daughter-in-law of the county lord, the county lord should thank you, what is the crime?" Then ask Miss Jiang to diagnose the young lady's pulse and see where the young lady is unwell, if the diagnosis is clear, the county lord will be rewarded. "
Wen Shi listened to the yin and yang strange voice of the Nanhua County Lord, and couldn't help glaring at the maid who spoke just now, and turned around to ask the Nanhua County Lord for his guilt: "It's just that the daughter-in-law is not careful, she didn't sleep well last night, and she is a little weak today, and my mother forgives her sins." Miss Jiang's medicine is a family heirloom, and the doctor's parents are hearted, and it is inevitable that she can't bear to see people fainting. "
Wen listened to what the lord of Nanhua asked Taohua in the carriage, and naturally knew that Taohua was kind enough to diagnose her pulse, and she was under pressure, and it was all the maid next to her who messed things up. Speaking of which, this maid Biqiu has followed her since she was a child, and when she first got married, her mother said that this maid acted recklessly and disregarded the overall situation, and it was not appropriate to take it to the Jiang family. But because Biqiu's stepmother was unkind and her life was sad, she couldn't help Biqiu begging, and she had the affection to serve her, seeing that she was loyal, she still took her.
After arriving at the Jiang family, she specially told Biqiu not to say much, and went to the Nanhua County Lord to ask An to bring another clever maid Bichun on weekdays, and only let Biqiu take care of her jewelry and clothes in the house. Or when he went out this time, Bichun was not alone enough, so he brought Biqiu here. I didn't expect it to be okay along the way, but I made a mistake at this time.
If it was someone else, Wen's explanation for Taohua would have passed, but unfortunately the lord of Nanhua was not a person who was willing to listen to others' explanations. What's more, when she came, she was still looking at Taohua on the road, and she was even more reluctant to let it go lightly at this time, and still sneered: "The heart of the doctor's parents, dare that my mother-in-law is not as good as an outsider." Without further ado, since you are unwell, please ask Miss Jiang to come to check the pulse, don't delay the young lady's condition! "
Wen Shi knew that it was not good when he heard it, and was struggling to kneel, Taohua had already walked over, supported her arm with one hand, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, don't move, let me check the pulse first." "
Because of the presence of the Lord of Nanhua, Wen could only glance at Taohua apologetically and stopped moving. Taohua diagnosed her with one hand, and then came with the other, and everyone in the hall watched her. After she finished diagnosing Wen's two hands, the lord of Nanhua said coldly: "Miss Jiang, where is my daughter-in-law unwell?" "
Taohua let go of Wen's hand and turned around with a smile: "I'm afraid I have to congratulate the county lord." "
"Congratulations?" The county lord of Nanhua was stunned, "Congratulations?" "
"The young lady is happy."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the people in the hall were surprised, and the lord of Nanhua kept asking: "Really? But really? "
"There is indeed joy." Taohua curtsied and bowed, and said with a smile, "The folk girl doesn't understand anything else, but when the mother was pregnant, she touched the pulse with her own hands, and now the young lady's pulse is exactly the same as that of the mother at that time, the pulse is like a bead, and there must be joy." However, the young lady's pulse is a little weak, and I don't know if it is because of the unstable fetal gas. If the county lord is not at ease, he may wish to ask an experienced Lang Zhong to come and check the pulse. "
Before the Lord of Nanhua could finish listening, he shouted: "Quickly help your young lady to the back of the Zen courtyard to rest." Hurry up and ask Lang Zhong to go immediately! He complained to Wen, "You don't know yourself, why are you so careless?" "
Wen Shi was also stunned, and only said after a while: "My daughter-in-law's little life is not allowed, I didn't expect it-" Only halfway through speaking, he suddenly saw Jiang Heng on the side, how could this matter of decay water make the little uncle hear, and quickly closed his mouth.
However, the lord of Nanhua only habitually complained a few words, Wen didn't care whether she answered or not, and only asked the maids to ask the monks in the temple to borrow a bamboo sedan chair to carry people. She doesn't like Wen anymore, but this belly is her eldest grandson, which is like a jewel, and ten thousand cautions are not too much.
There was really no sedan chair in the temple, and in the end, Wen was still supported by two maids and cautiously entered the Zen courtyard behind him to rest. The maids were all surrounded by stars and moons, leaving only Amber still kneeling on the futon. As soon as she knelt down with incense, before her head was knocked down, Wen first fainted, and then was diagnosed as pregnant, and everyone took care of Wen and forgot about her completely.
Huishan Temple incense is vigorous, there are many surrounding residents, and the next person Pegasus went down the mountain, and sure enough, he invited a Lang Zhong to come over after a while. When this Lang Zhong heard that it was the county lord, he couldn't help but tremble, and carefully checked the pulse of Wen's left hand and right hand, and then smiled at the end: "Congratulations to the county lord, the young lady has been happy for nearly two months." "
At this time, the lord of Nanhua was completely relieved, smiled from ear to ear, and shouted that someone would take the silver to reward Langzhong. Or Bi Chun asked: "My young lady just fainted, but what's wrong?" "
In this way, the female relatives of the noble family are happy, and they have nothing to say, so as not to say a lot of precautions, so as not to affect themselves if something is wrong, not to mention that the Wen family is weak, and these days they have been running all the way, and they have to serve the lord of Nanhua, so they are anxious and annoyed in the main hall, and they have indeed moved the fetus.
As soon as Bi Chun asked, Lang Zhong hurriedly said: "The old man was about to say that the young lady was weak and too tired, and the fetus was unstable. The old man will make a prescription, eat a service first, and rest for two hours before he can move around. At least half a month, you should take medicine on time, stay in bed, eat and drink warm and tonic things, and don't take it lightly...... "Lin Lin said for a long time before stopping.
The lord of Nanhua took the prescription, and immediately asked someone to go down the mountain to grab the medicine, and fried it in the temple to take it. He also said happily: "I just worshipped the Bodhisattva, and I got such good news, I will go and incense the Bodhisattva again, and if I get a man in one fell swoop, I will rebuild the golden body of the Bodhisattva." "
The monks who welcome guests in the temple are accustomed to be able to speak well, not to mention such a clear good thing, and go out to the lord of Nanhua, along the way keep boasting that the lord of Nanhua is pious, and the Bodhisattva will send a son, and he will become a great weapon in the future. said that the lord of Nanhua County was overjoyed, and it seemed that he had to donate a large sum of sesame oil money.
At this moment, there were only Wen and Taohua and Mrs. Su in the quiet room, Wen leaned on the bamboo couch, and when he saw that there was no one else in the room, he lowered his face and said to Biqiu: "Kneel." Make amends to Miss Jiang. "
Biqiu was still stunned, Bichun had already hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Taohua: "Biqiu, this girl is stunned, she doesn't understand anything, and she has caused trouble for the girl." But I beg the girl to spare her for her sake of her faithfulness to the Lord. Saying that, he kowtowed to Taohua according to Biqiu, "Don't kowtow soon, you almost got into trouble today!" "She is a clever person, and she knows that if the diagnosis just now is not Ximai, Taohua's kindness will cause trouble for herself, and then how will Wen's deal with herself?
Wen not only asked Biqiu to make amends, but also sat up half-sat up: "It's all my lack of restraint that made this girl in trouble." I should have apologized to Miss Jiang, but it was inconvenient to get up at this time, so I asked the girl to accept my half salute first. This child was born safely in the future, all because of the grace of the girl. "
Taohua was indeed not very happy - where did the stupid girl come from so ignorant, and Wen was still with her. However, at this moment, Wen's words were sincere, and Taohua's heart was a little angry, and she hurriedly stopped Wen's and said: "Young lady, don't do it, just say that there is some fetal gas, lie down and don't move." Fortunately, the county lord didn't blame me, did he? "
Wen sighed, "It's a good thing—" Speaking of this, she remembered, "How did Miss Jiang know that I was pregnant?" She didn't know it herself, how did Taohua's unmarried daughter's family know?
Taohua smiled: "I didn't say it. When the mother is pregnant, it looks very similar to the situation of the young lady. In the carriage, the young lady was a little tight, right? And I think the young lady's face doesn't look good, even if she is not pregnant, she should rest. If you are really pregnant, it will be bad if you don't know that there is any damage. "
The first half of this is complete nonsense. When Cao's face was ruddy and his appetite was full when she was pregnant, it was not at all Wen's yellow-faced appearance. The second half is true - Taohua has not yet reached the point where she can 100% determine whether she is pregnant just by looking at her face, but the most appropriate way at this time is to ask Wen to rest, otherwise if she sees red, there is no medicine in the temple, and she may have a miscarriage. This is also the reason why she quietly called Wen out, who knew that she would be called out by Biqiu.
Bichun Biqiu was still kneeling on the ground, Taohua glanced at it, and said to Wen's: "Young lady, let them get up, after all, they are loyal, just don't be so reckless in the future." "
Wen glared at Biqiu and said, "Miss Jiang has a lot, so don't hurry up and thank you." If I act so recklessly in the future, I will not blame me for being unsympathetic. While saying, I thought to myself, sure enough, my mother's words were right, I was a little too lenient on weekdays, and I must restrain her fiercely when I go back this time, and I can't have today's things anymore.
The lord of Nanhua went outside to worship the Bodhisattva again, and donated a large sum of sesame oil money, so he came back happily. The identity of the donor is precious and generous, and the temple is naturally respectful and courteous, and at noon he served a well-prepared vegetarian meal, and sent a whole jar of Huiquan wine, which is obviously too much for people to drink and take home.
Wen was once pregnant, and although her body was uncomfortable, she was extremely happy in her heart. The so-called people are in good spirits during happy events, and they have also opened their appetites and eaten a lot of vegetarian dishes. The lord of Nanhua was happy to see it, and casually rewarded another sum of silver.
After the meal, Wen took the fetal pill, and according to the doctor's advice, he had to stay in bed and rest for a while before going down the mountain. The lord of Nanhua looked at Taohua very pleasing to the eye at this moment, took her hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, I heard that the spring water in this Huishan Temple is known as the second spring in the world, and after drinking the wine, it is time to cook tea." "
She was considerate at this time, and when she saw Mrs. Su, she remembered again: "Madame is also pregnant, so it's time to rest, and it's enough for Miss Jiang to accompany me." "
Although Mrs. Su was in good health, she was tired from tossing for half a day, so she pushed the boat down the river and confessed her guilt and went to rest in the meditation room. Here, the lord of Nanhua pulled Taohua to sit by the spring, and said with a smile while watching the maid cooking tea: "Your name is Taohua, I remember that there is a Jieyu in the palace, whose name is very similar to yours, and her surname is Jiang." "
"The county lord is talking about the cousin of the people's daughter, named Meihua."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The lord of Nanhua suddenly remembered, "It's called this name." I remember that when Bengong left Beijing, she was already pregnant. This palace looks at it, it doesn't seem to be like you. "
Taohua had no intention of mentioning that Jiang Meihua had a miscarriage, but said: "It's the cousin in the next room, and the people are born like their mothers, so they don't have much resemblance to Jieyu Niangniang." "
The lord of Nanhua was not very interested in Jiang Meihua's appearance, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that there were too few pregnant concubines in the harem, she might not even remember who Jiang Meihua was, but she just chatted casually. immediately left Jiang Meihua and asked why Taohua saw that Wen was pregnant.
Tao Hua took the words that replied to Wen's just now and changed it slightly, and dealt with it again, only saying that it was similar to Cao's when she was pregnant, and she was afraid that Wen's would be pregnant and not know it, so she said a little more.
This resonated with the Lord of Nanhua, who sighed, "Not really. This child is okay with anything else, but he is not sensible, and he doesn't know if he is pregnant or not. The girl around me doesn't understand, and I have to worry about her. "
Taohua said with a smile: "This is the blessing of the young lady." There is a county lord to worry about her, and the young lady only cares about raising the fetus. In a few months, a big fat boy will be born, and the county lord will wait to hold his grandson. "
Speaking of his grandson, the county lord of Nanhua smiled, and he started talking, and talked with Taohua Huada for a while, drank two cups of tea, and then went for lunch. Taohua finally got a leisure, no sleep, and turned around to go to the yard to see the osmanthus.
The lord of Nanhua came to incense this time, and lived in the small Zen courtyard behind the temple, but the large Zen courtyard specially set aside for distinguished guests in Huishan Temple, and there were even a few lake stones and a bend of clear water drawn from the mountain, and a crape myrtle was planted near the water, the branches stretched out like a dragon, and the lilac flowers were blooming, and some petals fluttered and fell down when a gust of wind blew, and flowed out of the yard along the clear water.
Autumn is high and cool, the sky above the head and the water under the feet are the same color, the top is the flowers lining the blue sky, and the bottom is the reflection dotted with the blue water, Taohua is feeling relaxed and happy, the footsteps behind him, Jiang Heng's voice laughed: "What is Miss Jiang looking at?" "
