Chapter 259: Joy and Sorrow
Lin Long understands that in Ye Tian's heart, the kind of mood that has always been longing for finally come true can be expressed without words, not to mention that Ye Tian's has paid a lot for today, and that kind of mental journey is actually a heart-wrenching when she thinks about every step, so when she sees Ye Tian's crying, she also feels sour in her eyes.
Ye Lao Liu stepped into the house, and when he heard Lin Long coming, he quickened his pace, but when he came back in a hurry, he saw his daughter-in-law crying, which scared him a lot.
It must be known that Ye Tian's family is no longer a young daughter-in-law, and the combined age of their husband and wife is more than half a hundred, Ye Tian's family has long practiced the ability to be moody and invisible, where would he lose his temper in public?
It was not Ye Lao Liu who was surprised, including Aunt Wan and Ye Manzhu, who rushed over after hearing the sound, the two women, the old and the young, looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on here?
"(Son) daughter-in-law (mother), what's wrong with you?"
The voices of the three of them sounded in unison, and Ye Tian wiped his tears with a handkerchief, his expression was a little embarrassed, after all, she was not a young girl, and she cried so out of shape, which made people look at the joke.
Lin Long didn't say anything, such a big happy event had to be announced by the Ye Tian clan himself, so she secretly waved her hand at the doctor, asking him not to be silent, and the doctor on the side nodded knowingly.
Ye Tian withdrew the handkerchief back into his cuffs, and looked at Ye Lao Liu, who was nervous, with a smile that seemed to be laughing rather than crying, "Husband, we finally have a ...... again."
Just said this, she couldn't help crying again, this child came too hard.
Ye Lao Liu was so frightened that he couldn't speak on the spot, just when he was desperate to admit his fate to recruit for his daughter, he suddenly told him that he was going to be a father again, he really couldn't digest this good news for a while, he stood there and looked his wife up and down with complicated eyes, and after a while, he suddenly turned around and left, so fast that Ye Tian couldn't pull it.
This frightened everyone, what happened to this Ye Lao Liu? Isn't he the one who has always wanted to have a son the most? Now that he is pregnant, he turns around and runs away without saying a word? No matter how you look at it, it makes people understand incompetence.
Aunt Wan saw Ye Tian looking outside with tears in her eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Daughter-in-law, take care of him, he must be very happy, this is a great joy, or the blessing of the ancestors, and finally the incense of our sixth child will not stop." ”
Aunt Wan was also so happy that she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, how many years of wish has finally been achieved, can she not be happy? For this reason, she quarreled with her son and daughter-in-law a lot, and almost gave birth, and now she finally got her wish, and she was looking forward to giving birth to a man.
"Mother, am I going to have a younger brother?" Ye Manzhu stepped forward to caress her mother's belly, and said with a look of hope.
Although she doesn't like the world's prejudice against girls, she also knows that she alone can't support the door, once her father and mother are not there, she will even have a problem with self-preservation, let alone inherit such a large amount of money from her father? So it's better to have a younger brother.
"Is Sister Zhu happy?" Ye Tian squeezed his daughter's hand and asked softly.
She was afraid that her daughter would not like it, after all, there was another child in the family.
"Happy, mother, I don't know how happy I am, I just want a younger brother." Ye Manzhu said busily, for fear that her mother would think that she would not accept it and be cranky, so she was busy expressing her position.
Ye Tian stroked his daughter's hand, sighed with emotion, sniffed, and then looked at Aunt Wan, "Old aunt don't worry, I know my husband's personality, I must know that he will not have other thoughts, this is a happy thing, he will definitely figure out the ...... of turning around later."
Before her words fell, Ye Lao Liu really turned around like the wind, and this time he said with ecstasy on his face: "Daughter-in-law, is it true that you are pregnant?" ”
Ye Tian was annoyed by his reaction just now, "Fake." ”
Ye Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face had not yet been put away, "You must be lying to me?" Yes and no? ”
Seeing that her husband's expression was slowly changing, Ye Tian's heart suddenly stopped.
Lin Long on the side smiled and said, "Okay, the sixth aunt doesn't want to play with the sixth uncle." "Otherwise, if it is too much, the happy event will become a bad thing, and when the long-term wish is fulfilled, some people will be so happy that they will go crazy on the spot, and some people will go like this without breathing, and one of them will have to stop in moderation," If the sixth uncle doesn't believe it, you can ask the doctor, he hasn't left yet. ”
Ye Tian's family suddenly woke up when she heard Lin Long's interruption, knowing how eager her husband was to have another child, she shouldn't have made fun of him, so she said apologetically with an apologetic face: "Husband, my nephew and daughter-in-law are right, we really want to add another brother to Sister Zhu." ”
"Congratulations to Master Ye, the old man can testify that Mrs. Zun has been pregnant for more than two months." The doctor stroked his beard and smiled in congratulations.
Ye Lao Liu really believed that his wife was pregnant again, he half-squatted down, stretched out his hand and stroked his wife's belly reverently, there was his heir in it, at this moment, he didn't even think about it if it was a daughter again, in his cognition, this must be a son, the son of his dreams.
Like Ye Tian's previous reaction, Ye Lao Liu actually cried with joy.
"I finally have a queen......"
This is really not easy for Liufang, so Ye Lao Liu's reaction, no one will have a strange perception, only to say that it is not easy.
Ye Tian's family was quite old when she was pregnant with this child, so everyone in the Ye family arched her.
When Lin Long left, Ye Tian got up to send it, and hurriedly asked Lin Long to stop him, "This is not good, Sixth Aunt, you are pregnant now, you have to be careful, you can't bump into something, I will go out by myself, it's a big deal to let Sister Zhu send me." ”
"What's so embarrassing?" Ye Tian said apologetically.
She really likes Lin Long, her nephew and daughter-in-law, and her temperament is quite compatible with her, and besides, this time she can get pregnant again, thanks to the Imperial Doctor Zhang recommended by her and Ye Xuyao, otherwise she would only have one child in her life.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Aunt Six, you can raise the baby with peace of mind, and give birth to a big fat boy for Uncle Six when the time comes." Lin Long also playfully didn't mention the word girl, anyway, before the child landed, the statement that it was still a boy made people like it more.
Ye Tian's smile was extremely satisfied, but he said: "I don't know what about men and women......" Glancing at her husband on the side, she suddenly changed her words, "I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the business in the store during this time, and I have to worry about my nephew and daughter-in-law a lot." ”
"Aunt Six, don't worry, I will take care of the business in the store." Lin Long responded with a smile.
Later, Ye Manzhu personally sent her out, and she excitedly pulled Lin Long all the way to talk, obviously the little girl was in a good mood.
After getting into the carriage, Lin Long poked his head out of the window and waved his hand to Ye Manzhu, who was watching her leave, "Sister Zhu, go back, and talk to me in the mansion when you have time." ”
Ye Manzhu nodded, still watching Lin Long's carriage leave under the corridor, and then turned back.
Inside the carriage, Rumei brought the brewed tea to Lin Long, "Grandma, this sixth lady is really begging for kindness this time, I hope she can give birth to a big fat boy." ”
"Isn't it?" Lin Long took it with a smile, believing that as soon as this good news came out, the relatives who loved to talk about the extinction of the sixth room behind him were afraid that they would be speechless, this was born to his wife, and naturally he was not able to compare with his concubine.
Just when Lin Long was about to send the invitation to the next family, Ye Lao Liu sent someone to send good news to his brother's family, and he wished that the more people knew, the better.
After receiving the news, Ye Mingyi, who was in the fifth room, said with a smile, "This time, the sixth child finally got what he wanted." ”
Aunt Peng Yuqin on the side picked up the teapot and poured tea for Ye Ming, and complained: "Master, our deep brothers are several months old, and I don't see them come to visit one or two in person. ”
When she was confined, everyone in each room only sent some things, and no one came to visit in person, it was clear that Ye Xushen, who disliked her birth, was a concubine, so she was angry, although she started as a concubine, but now she is the housewife in the fifth room.
Ye Mingyi took her into his arms, looked at her body that had plumped up a lot because of childbirth, and said with a smile on his face: "Does it matter if they come or not?" ”
"Why didn't it matter? When they see me, they put away their smiles and don't talk to me, don't they just look down on me as an aunt? Master, when will you help me to be right? Peng Yuqin pulled Ye Mingyi's arm and lied coquettishly, but she hated Ye Peng's aunt in her heart, why didn't she die early? Occupy the pit and don't shit, and if you have been cultivating in the nunnery for more than a year, you should die.
Ye Mingwei has always spoiled his concubines and killed his wife, seeing Peng Yuqin so delicate, where did he care about what she said to be rebellious? "What does it matter if you don't help or not? Now this house is not your Yiyantang? When Brother Shen is older, I will record him in Ye Peng's name, and when the time comes, I will let him inherit the majority of the family property, who will look down on him? ”
"Really?" As soon as Peng Yuqin heard that her son could get most of the family property, she immediately stopped frowning, she knew Ye Mingyi's family background.
"Heart, I can't lie to you?" Ye Mingwei gently pinched Peng Yuqin's face and kissed it lovingly.
Peng Yuqin smiled very happily in his arms, in the end, she won, so Aunt Liu has nothing to do, what is the use of being beautiful? Ye Peng's is the main room, so what? In the end, it's not for her to occupy the magpie's nest. "What about Brother Peng?"
When it comes to this eldest son, how can there be any love in Ye Mingyi's eyes? With a look of disgust, "When he is older, I will send him to join the army." "This son can't succeed in literature, so he can only try martial arts, anyway, after sending it out, he can't see it.
These words are in Peng Yuqin's heart, she has long seen that this Ye Xupeng is not pleasing to the eye, and it will not be an eyesore as soon as he leaves, as for Ye Manling, who was sent back after the draft, she will find a random family to marry, and then she can also receive a sum's salary, this is for her son Ye Xu's deep family foundation, the more she thinks about it, the more she laughs.
It's just that Ye Xupeng and Ye Manling, who overheard it outside the door, both of their brothers and sisters sank their faces, they never expected that their father would be such a person, and they didn't miss family affection at all, and sure enough, if their biological mother was not around, they would have a stepfather.
"Brother? How can they be vicious like this? Ye Manling and her brother arrived outside the hospital, and suddenly their eyes were red and they cried.
Ye Xupeng clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and stared back at his father's direction with hatred, he would keep his father's words in his heart and dare not forget them for a moment.
"Let's go, let's go and discuss it with my mother."
Hearing her brother's words, Ye Manling's eyes suddenly had hope, "Okay, let's go." ”
Because Ye Peng's family was still in the nunnery, Lin Long did not go to Ye Lao Wu Ye Mingxi's mansion in person, but sent a small servant to send an invitation, after all, it was very difficult to deal with Peng Yuqin's aunt as her.
Peng Yuqin, who received Lin Long's invitation, said dissatisfiedly: "Master, take a look, look at it, she has personally gone to the sixth master's house, and also went to other people's houses, and when she arrived at us, she sent a little servant here, isn't this not that she didn't put us in her eyes?" ”
Ye Mingyi didn't think so, he spoiled the concubine and favored the concubine, he was not stupid enough to be like him all over the world, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll take you there when the time comes, and they won't underestimate you, okay?" ”
"It's not good, it's not good...... Peng Yuqin grabbed Ye Mingyi's neck coquettishly, "I want to make new clothes and buy new heads, in short, I want to compare them all." ”
In the past, she was afraid of Lin Long, but now that she has a son to support her, what do she have to be afraid of what she will do? Anyway, Ye Mingyi listened to her all.
"You can do whatever you want, okay, don't worry, I'll let the account office allocate money to you." Ye Mingyi smiled and coaxed the little woman in his arms.
Peng Yuqin felt more comfortable in her heart at this time, and when she thought of the proud smile of the Ye family's daughter, she suddenly smiled coldly with disdain.
At this time, Lin Long was in Zheng Xizhu's house, because Zheng Xizhu was pregnant, and her mother's family was far away in Suzhou, she called herself Sister Long, she still wanted to come and see her; Second, he personally sent her an invitation, but she knew that she was pregnant and she could not attend the first birthday banquet of her two sons.
Zheng Xizhu smiled and said to Lin Long: "This kid is not tired when he is pregnant, I am looking forward to him coming out soon." ”
"You're still in the early days, and you'll be even more tired later." As a person who has come over, Lin Long naturally understands how difficult it will be in the late stages of pregnancy.
Zheng Xizhu stroked his stomach, his face was full of happiness, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, "The Ninth Prince really sentenced him to a decisive decision?" ”
When she heard the news, she was shocked, after all, she had been infatuated with him when she first fell in love, and he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, but later his transformation made her gradually extinguish this heartbeat.
Lin Long didn't know about her secret thoughts, and said indifferently: "After committing such a serious crime, the saint probably can't spare him, the queen mother is still living in the palace, and I think the mother and son are out of harmony because of this." ”
Thinking of what happened to her son and Ye Zhong's family, Lin Long hated the Nine Princes, all because of him, otherwise her family would not be in danger, especially her pair of children who are not sensible.
"It's a pity that the Nine Princes are such a romantic character, but if it's wrong, it's wrong." Zheng Xizhu said with emotion.
"Isn't it?" Lin Long responded with a smile, but didn't ask where Zheng Xizhu's emotion came from, anyway, everyone will have some of their own secrets and don't want others to know, "Let your husband arrive early then." ”
Zheng Xizhu responded with a smile, this is her husband's opportunity to make friends with upper-class people, she naturally won't let it go, otherwise it is not a matter to stay in Hanlin Courtyard all the time, she has to climb up.
While the two were gossiping, Zheng Xizhu's mother-in-law, Li Guanshi, lifted the curtain and came in, "Mrs. Hou is here, the old body is too late, please forgive Mrs. Hou." ”
"Mrs. Li is useless to be so polite." Lin Long didn't accept her salute, and avoided it slightly, "I am like sisters with Xizhu, she has a child, I should come to see it, this is an invitation, and Mrs. will arrive early then." ”
Li Guanshi solemnly took it, and then responded with a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Hou is still so worried about the old man's daughter-in-law, and she personally sent the invitation, the old man is really flattered." ”
She naturally knew that Lin Long and Zheng Xizhu were not sisters, so she didn't dare to take Qiao, and she was very polite in her words and actions.
Lin Long didn't care about her, on the contrary, if she was too casual, I was afraid that this Li Guanshi would still think about it.
Li Guanshi sat on the side and accompanied Lin Long for a while, and saw that the two sisters had not been able to say a few words of confidant here, so they got up and said goodbye with interest.
Lin Long said two polite words to keep people, Li Guanshi just waved his hand and said that he wanted to recite the scriptures to the Bodhisattva and not delay, so Lin Long gave up.
Zheng Xizhu said: "My mother-in-law believes in Buddhism the most, and she is saying goodbye at this time, so that I can bless my first child to give birth to a big fat boy." ”
"That's how old people are." Lin Long said.
Lin Long sat for a while, and a big girl came in with the curtain lifted and said, "Grandma, Aunt Ge has been kneeling for two hours, do you want her to get up?" ”
Zheng Xizhu said: "Let her get up, if she does it again next time, it will not be a matter of kneeling for two hours, and I will drive her out of the house at that time." ”
"Yes, Grandma." The big girl took the order.
Lin Long looked at it in a daze, who is this Aunt Ge? In her memory, the population of Li Jianlin's family is very simple, just a widowed mother, and then Zheng Xizhu's wife.
However, she didn't have the will to ask, Zheng Xizhu took the initiative to say: "I can't wait for my husband after I am pregnant, so I opened his face and waited for an aunt, but I didn't know that this aunt was leading him to be greedy behind my back, so I punished her." Gently caressing her stomach, obviously Zheng Xizhu doesn't take this matter seriously, "Sister Long, you also know, where can this man endure it for so long?" Rather than let him go to the land of fireworks to provoke the unclean prostitute, I should take the initiative and find him a comfort for his body and mind, so that I can feel much more at ease. ”
She is a concubine, so there is no resistance to the fact that men have concubines, anyway, she can't go beyond her, and the power of life and death of these women is not in the hands of the wife?
Lin Long took a sip of tea, "It's understandable that you think so, anyway, the man is the cat who steals fish." ”
Although Ye Xuyao has no act of taking a concubine at present, and has also told her that she wants to guard her, she does not fully believe it in her heart, after all, it is not easy to live by guarding a woman. When he is going to take a concubine one day, she will let him go, and she will not cry, make trouble and hang herself on this issue, she still has a son, she should think about the child, and she must not give up the position of wife to others.
It's okay to be alive like Ye Zhong's, she can see it anyway.
Zheng Xizhu covered her lips and smiled, "This sounds rough, but Danli is not rough, anyway, I took the initiative, he also thought of my goodness, grateful for my generosity and thoughtfulness, why don't I do it?" As long as he has the two of us in his heart, I will be content. ”
Her husband climbed up from the imperial examination, so naturally he must have his own Yan Ruyu thoughts in the book, even if she doesn't ask, she knows that her husband occasionally acts as a prostitute outside, so she can just turn a blind eye.
The women of this era have all come over like this, and Lin Long will not be forced to keep up with King Jing and his wife, just take his sister-in-law Ye Manjun as an example, how long can Zhu Ziqi guard her alone? Even if the road for the nobles of Ruyang City to be concubines was blocked at that time, does it mean that Zhu Ziqi will not take a fancy to others one day? So sometimes it's better to enjoy happiness when you're in the moment of happiness.
Lin Long smiled: "You can't be like my father-in-law." ”
Ye Mingsui is a person who spoils his concubine and kills his wife, Zheng Xizhu shuddered just thinking about it, "I have to look at the prison point, but I still believe in my husband's character, he is not such a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong." ”
Lin Long didn't express any opinion on this topic, this is everyone's own choice, as long as he has no regrets, "By the way, did your mother-in-law write to you?" ”
"Yes, I wrote to her after I was pregnant, but she sent something north, saying that it was to make up for me, of course, there was also my new sister-in-law, who also gave me a little expression, I was flattered." Zheng Xizhu felt that he had lived for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had received so much attention from so many people, so he was naturally very moved.
Lin Long thought that Zheng Huahan had also married a wife, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, sure enough, time passed faster than he imagined.
After she left the medicinal materials for Zheng Xizhu to nourish her body and the sea fish given by the emperor, she saw that it was not early, and it was time to go back, thinking about her two sons, so she got up and said goodbye.
Zheng Xizhu personally sent her out.
Lin Long remembered that she was pregnant, and hurriedly asked her to go back.
Back in the house, Ye Xuyao had already come back, playing with his two sons, and when he saw her come in, he said, "Are you back?" ”
Lin Long said: "I'm almost exhausted." ”
Ye Xuyao handed over the toys in his hands to his two sons, then pulled her to sit down beside her and pinched her shoulder bone, "Are you comfortable?" ”
Lin Long thought of today's one-day experience, and suddenly her husband was so attentive to herself, she hurriedly turned around and looked at her husband suspiciously, "Being so good to me, did you do something to be sorry for me?" Be lenient in confession and strict in resisting. ”
Ye Xuyao gently hugged her willow waist, "It turns out that you are good to you and still have to find a reason?" Then I think about it. ”
Lin Long slapped him lightly.
Ye Yaoting saw his mother's movements, and immediately became interested, walked to his father and mother slightly, and sat in his father's arms with a butt, he was sincerely happy to occupy this commanding height, and looked at his father's cold face with a smile.
Ye Yaohui didn't do it anymore, and he was also busy walking over, he didn't walk as steadily as his brother, but he also reached his father's back and immediately got on his stomach.
For a while, Ye Xuyao sat on one in his arms and another on his back, and the two sons treated him as a toy, and his face suddenly stinked.
Lin Long sat aside with a smile, "It seems that your father and son smell the same, but it's a pity that I couldn't give birth to a girl, otherwise I would have been as fragrant as me." ”
Ye Xuyao hugged his youngest son, who was naughtily grabbing his hair behind his back, and glanced at his wife, "It's not easy to want a daughter, let's work hard at night, anyway, you have heard it with your own ears, the two of us are in the prime of life, and it is a matter of time before we conceive again." ”
When Lin Long heard this, his pretty face suddenly turned red, fortunately, they had never liked the big girl on the side during their parent-child time, otherwise they would be ashamed to death, so he got up from the Luohan bed, and said while entering the inner room: "I won't talk to you poorly, the more I talk, the more I don't talk." ”
Ye Xuyao saw his wife enter the inner room, the light in his eyes flashed, he picked up the two sons and handed them to the nurses outside, and followed the inner room himself.
Sure enough, the spring light in the house was just right, he hugged his wife from behind, sucked and kissed her earlobe, "Let's have another one." ”
Lin Long groaned slightly, she couldn't help but be a little moved by him so suddenly, turned around and grabbed his neck, intersecting with his breath.
For a while, the temperature in the room gradually rose.
After the clouds and rain stopped, Lin Long felt lazy all over, and he didn't even want to move his fingers, so he let her husband caress her hair, "I don't know if Cousin Yingzi has come back from the village?" ”
She also learned about Quan Yingzi who was sick at the beginning of the year and went to the village to raise her, but there were a lot of things at hand, and she didn't have time to visit in person, so she could only send someone to send something to condole.
Ye Xuyao was slightly stunned when she mentioned Quan Yingzi, but she didn't say anything.
At this time, Lin Long didn't know that Quan Yingzi went to live in the village not because he was sick, but because the relationship between Zhong Quan and his family was now tense in private, just because Ye Zhong's body was recovering, Zhong You's specially warned his daughter-in-law Zhong Guo not to trouble his daughter, so even Ye Zhong's family didn't know that his mother's family was making trouble.
