As a dinner party for He Yunling and Hu Rui to wash the dust, they didn't eat too smoothly in the end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning, I was happy, because Hu Rui went to Beijing to seek officials very smoothly this time, and everyone had a look of honor on their faces, and they were about to squeeze into the official eunuch's house, and everyone raised their wine glasses to pay tribute to Hu Rui.
It wasn't until later that someone came to report that the eldest lord's concubine was about to give birth, and everyone knew about giving birth to a child, so let people call Dr. Wenpo, and the people who sat here to eat couldn't help much, so they could still eat as usual.
It's just that after a while, I came over again and said that this little concubine didn't give birth very well, and there seemed to be signs of dystocia, and this is another one that the eldest master usually loves very much.
Immediately, the eldest lord couldn't sit still, and stood up to watch in the courtyard of this favorite concubine.
The eldest lady at the adjacent table didn't look good, but she didn't dare to let him go, so she turned her head to look at the old lady, and the old lady didn't agree, this is her second son's reception banquet, and her biological brother is not as good as a concubine?
The old lady stopped the eldest lady, "Boss, sit down first, I have already asked people to invite Dr. Wenpo, the maid-in-law over there is serving, thoughtful, don't worry, let's eat first, and then wait for the news slowly." ”
The eldest lord sat down again, and commanded the people who came to deliver the message uneasily, "Serve Aunt Yu well, don't take care of it, is there enough manpower over there?" Has Wen Po arrived? What about doctors? Which doctor was called? How many please? ”
The eldest lady's face was pale, these were her affairs, the eldest lord acted like this, it was clear that he did not take himself in his eyes, she interrupted the eldest master's words, "Master, you can rest assured, Aunt Yu has already prepared, and Wen Po has already said hello, she has already come over, the doctor has always been the doctor we called, you know him, his medical skills have always been good." ”
After getting the reply from the subordinate, the eldest lord waved his hand and asked the subordinate to hurry back and watch, ignoring the eldest lady, because the eldest lord always remembered the situation of the favored concubine, and he was absent-minded at the dinner table.
After a while, a mother-in-law came to report again, and Aunt Yu shouted to see the eldest master.
At this time, the eldest lady couldn't help but slap the chopsticks on the table with a 'snap', pointing at the mother-in-law and scolding, "Where do you come from, you can break into this while eating?" Where can women give birth to men to come in and watch? You obviously want to make the old man unlucky, don't you? Come on, drag this unruly person down and slap his mouth! ”
The eldest lady's words made the mother-in-law below tremble for a while, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
And the other servants saw the look of the eldest master, and no one dared to step forward and pull the woman down to talk often.
The eldest lord turned his head to look at the eldest lady, his face was also ugly, and when he looked at the woman again, he asked, "How is Aunt Yu now?" You talk about it in detail, what did Wen Po say? But what does it matter? ”
"Boss!" The old lady shouted in a deep voice, "Your daughter-in-law is right, this is a woman's business, if you don't worry, I'll let Mama Ma go over and take a look." ”
Mama Ma is the first face of the old lady, very important to the old lady, very safe and thoughtful in speaking and doing things, accompanied by the old lady to serve for most of her life, is to watch the old lady they grow up, usually several masters see her is also quite respectful, dare not accept the full courtesy.
"Don't dare to bother Mama Ma next to your mother, just let Mother Bai watch it, this woman gives birth, how can it be so easy, there are many people who give birth for three days and three nights." The eldest lady endured her anger and said, she called Mother Bai beside her, and she usually helped take care of the affairs in her yard, and it was very safe to have her in the past.
The mother-in-law at the bottom trembled even more when she heard this, and raised her head slightly to look at the eldest man, with a pleading look on her face.
What else does the eldest lord not understand, Aunt Yu has told him that the eldest lady can't tolerate their concubines in her eyes, and there are always some who are angry with the concubine room on weekdays.
He turned his head and said to the old lady, "Then please ask Mama Ma to come over and help me take a look." ”
The eldest lady was so angry that she trembled, how could he? How could he slap himself in the face in front of so many people?
Mama Ma followed the woman with the old lady's nod and left.
And the eldest man's face was still not at ease, and he looked a little uneasy, and others didn't look like they heard him when they talked to him.
The atmosphere quietly became awkward.
The third wife is a clever person, seeing that the eldest lady was about to lose her temper, she hurriedly went over to help her, and persuaded: "Sister-in-law let Mama Ma go over to have a look, Mama Ma has also given birth to several children, and the uncle should also let her go when Mama Ma is more experienced, I know that the sister-in-law is also kind, who doesn't know that Mama Bai is a capable person, and she can also arrange it properly, you, all for the good of Aunt Yu, they all think in one direction, it doesn't matter who goes." ”
The old lady glanced at the third lady appreciatively.
The eldest lady made the steps by the third wife, her face softened, and she nodded at her, and this matter can be regarded as stable.
He Yunling had eaten, and when he returned to his name Qingfeng Courtyard, he heard that Aunt Yu had given birth to a big fat boy, the mother and son were safe, and the eldest lord was so happy, as soon as the dinner party was withdrawn, he was busy going over to guard, and even the second master They were ready to call him to discuss the matter of going to Beijing this time and postponed it to tomorrow.
Qiu Shi was very interested in these, but she had just arrived, and the news channel was not smooth, so she could only grab Hexiang and the two girls in Hufu and inquire vigorously.
She has the ability, and she also inquired about the eldest gentleman who rewarded Aunt Yu and gave jewelry and sent to the grange, but the eldest lady was angry and asked Dr. Chang to prescribe pills to eat.
Gu's mother sent Qiu Shi out, personally twisted a handkerchief for He Yunling, wiped her face, frowned slightly and said to her: "This house is a mess, let's just listen to these things, don't get too close, don't go to your heart, these things"
He Yunling nodded, "I know Mother Gu." ”
Gu's mother's brows still haven't loosened, this Hu Mansion really has no rules at all, this big man has already done a good job of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, and he doesn't care about the face of the eldest lady in front of the whole family, and the eldest lady has no demeanor in the main room at all, even if she hates in her heart, she can't show it, and she loses her demeanor.
She is worried that the sixth girl has been in this house for a long time, and she has also been contaminated with these incorrect thinking, although she is not the son of He Fu's family, and she has not been particularly disciplined, but she also knows that the environment is very important for the cultivation of a beautiful lady, otherwise how can there be a saying that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black.
