Chapter 17: Sisterhood

"The doctor said that our grandmother is the first child, and she was tired and hard for a while now, so the fetus is unstable, and she told her to raise it carefully in the first three months, otherwise there is a risk of slipping the tire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The eldest aunt is going to go to the East Palace in two days, and asks His Royal Highness the Taisun for a graceful will, hoping that the palace will send a doctor into the palace to make a careful diagnosis. ”

Yan Rong listened to her sister's reply to the maid Poria, and her face was gloomy and gloomy in the corner of the wall, and she murmured: "Brother-in-law really values my sister's birth." ”

Poria subconsciously answered: "This is natural, after all, it is the first child of my aunt and grandmother, and the general's mansion is very precious." If it weren't for grandma's insistence today, and she would have returned to her parents' house, Mrs. would definitely not let grandma go out. ”

Hearing this, Yan Rong's eyes froze, quite sharp, and her serious expression made Ling hurriedly swallow the words on her lips.

"I saw that my sister had severe morning sickness at the banquet, so she must have been restless when she was at the Fu family, right?"

Poria shook her head, "The doctor said it was related to grandma's physique, so it didn't matter." Madame also said that the reaction during pregnancy was so powerful, and Bacheng was a lively and clever young master......"

The speaker's face was excited, but Yan Rong suddenly interrupted meaningfully: "What if it's a son?" ”

Poria's expression was choked, and she suddenly didn't dare to say more.

Yan Rong closed her eyes, as if she was struggling.

After a while, he took out a sachet that he had stuffed in his sleeve earlier, handed it to the other party and said: "This is what I specially made for my eldest sister before, it is full of fruity fragrances that can reduce morning sickness reaction, clear your heart and help you sleep, you go back and hang it in your sister's bed tent, she can sleep more peacefully at night." ”

Poria took it, leaned over to answer "yes", and was about to speak, when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the end of the corridor, and took two steps back in a panic and exclaimed.

Yan Rong heard the change of color, and hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, three or five steps away from herself, Yan Wan stood there slimly, because the lights and candles were dim here, and she couldn't see what expression was on her face.

She stabilized her mind, tried her best to control the trill, forced a smile, and said softly: "Third sister, why are you here?" ”

At this moment, the front hall of the courtyard is very lively, and the fireworks under the starry sky are brilliant, and the second sister is hiding in such a remote place to talk to the eldest sister's maid?

Yan Wan had doubts, walked down the stairs and stepped forward, glanced at Poria curiously, because he was not familiar with her, so his attention turned back to the second cousin, and asked instead of answering: "Is the eldest sister's fetus bad?" ”

Yan Rong's heart was lifted up again, and she looked at the person in front of her carefully with inquiring eyes, "Third sister, how much have you heard?" ”

Yan Wan blinked innocently, and replied truthfully in a daze: "I heard her say that the eldest brother-in-law is going to the palace in a few days to ask a doctor to diagnose the eldest sister's pulse." Second sister, is the eldest sister's fetal condition very bad? ”

"No, the third sister doesn't have to worry."

Yan Rong's tone was soft, and she said, "The eldest sister's fetus is fine, but it needs to be taken care of carefully." Third sister, you left the table early, I didn't see the morning sickness of the eldest sister just now, I saw that she was not happy, so I looked for Poria to come out and ask about the situation. ”

As she spoke, she took back the sachet from the maid's hand, and said as if explaining: "I made preparations for the eldest sister, but I was also negligent, she is now pregnant, and it is most taboo to use these spices, but I can't put them for her." Then he stuffed the sachet back into his sleeve.

Yan Wan looked at the red tassels exposed from her cuffs, tilting her head to reach for it.

Yan Rong turned away without moving, raised her eyes to look at the fireworks as if she was appreciative, and said with a smile: "This is all put by you, third sister, right?" It's beautiful. ”

Yan Guan's gaze then raised, and he nodded.

"It's done, go back to your sister and serve, remember to serve well." Yan Rong took the opportunity to send Poria away, took her cousin's hand and stepped onto the verandah, pacing slowly and said softly: "I saw the fourth sister just now, she came in from outside the courtyard angrily, why are you unhappy?" ”

Yan Guan's eyes were still on the sachet, and he really didn't think of Yan Qiang for a while, and he didn't pay attention to that person in the first place, so he asked puzzledly: "Fourth sister?" ”

The two sisters sat down on the porch stool, and Yan Rong chuckled: "It doesn't matter if my sister doesn't know, it's probably the fourth sister's petty nature again." ”

Seeing that he was still at a loss, he added: "You didn't know if you weren't in Beijing before, but this sister Qiang in our family likes to play with Brother Jun the most." ”

"I know." Yan Wan said: "When I was having dinner just now, the third brother Fu came to me to go out to set off fireworks, and the fourth sister glared at me. ”

Her expression was distressed, and Yan Rong's smile became softer and softer, soothing and explaining: "The fourth sister has a straight temperament, but her heart is not big, but she is quite angry. After all, in the past, Brother Jun mostly came to the house to play with her, but now when he suddenly sees that he is only looking for you and ignoring her, it is inevitable that he will be unhappy.

But don't worry, the third sister is her own sister, she will be able to figure it out in a few days, and you don't take it too seriously. ”

Yan Guan said in his heart, he didn't take Yan Qiang to heart, if you hadn't mentioned it first, there would have been no such thing at all, okay?

She still looked at the tassel with fixed eyes, Yan Rong was such a keen person, she naturally felt it, and when she saw this, she had to take it out again, but she only held it in her hand, "Sister likes sachets?" ”

Yan Wan nodded and exclaimed, "This sachet of my sister is so chic." ”

"The third sister likes it, I'll embroider one for you in two days."

Yan Rong said and took back the sachet in her palm, and said euphemistically: "It's just a small thing, if you like it, you can give it to you." Only this sachet was made for the eldest sister earlier, and the color is also what she likes. ”

As soon as she said the gift, Yan Wan didn't mind, but the person in front of her was prevaricating, and she couldn't deliberately ask for it, so she had to follow the words: "Then I will thank the second sister first." ”

"It's all a sister, what are you doing outside like this."

Yan Rong took her hand and stood up, "Our two rooms were originally the closest, and in the future, when the second uncle will serve in Beijing, my sister and I can also go back and forth more." ”

Yan Wan nodded and followed her to the lively place in the upper room.

Within two days, Yan Rong really invited her to the Jade Chime Pavilion and gave her the embroidered sachet.

Yan Wan was very happy to get the new gadget, and said gratefully: "The second sister is really good, it was done in just two days, and the plum blossoms on it are also beautifully embroidered." ”

Yan Qiang, who came uninvited, was apprehensive in her heart, and stabbed her with words: "That's natural, the master who taught the second sister Nu Hong was originally an old lady in the palace, and the one she taught was an embroidery stitch that was only used on the noble woman's life, and even Mrs. Nanyang Hou said that she did it beautifully."

Third sister, you used to live in a remote place, and you didn't know the prosperity of the imperial capital. I heard that the fourth aunt wanted to find a master to teach you a year ago, but the second aunt refused. ”

Yan Wan played with the sachet and disagreed: "My mothers make clothes and handkerchiefs for me, and my mother said that our family doesn't need me to make money by this craft, so what do you do so hard to learn so well?" ”

Ji's family was born in Jiangmen, and he didn't like these. Yan Wan has been educated by his mother since he was a child, and he thought it was normal, but Yan Qiang stood up after hearing this, and accused: "How can the third sister say this, learning to be a girl is to have a skill, what do you mean by this? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Rong meaningfully, and added: "You are scolding the second sister as well." ”

Yan Wan was stunned, raised his eyes in confusion, and explained to Yan Rong: "I didn't mean that." ”

"That's what you just said, why don't you admit it now?" Yan Qiang is aggressive.

Seeing this, Yan Rong hurriedly dragged her, and said to Yan Guan: "Don't worry about the third sister, the fourth sister likes to talk nonsense." What you just said is true, learning everything is a whim, and everyone has their own pursuits. ”

Yan Wan muttered: "You don't have to do it yourself, how difficult it is to embroider, and you will stab your palms." As she spoke, she shrunk her shoulders, remembering the stinging pain when she was a young girl.

Yan Qiang received Yan Rong's eyes, and she was unwilling to snort, and finally stopped continuing.

After all, the atmosphere is not as harmonious as before, Yan Guan came to get a sachet and met Yan Qiang for no reason, and he felt that it was really incompatible with this fourth sister, and it would be rare in the future.

She got up and took her leave.

Yan Rong sent her to the door, and before parting, she suddenly remembered something, and said: "On the seventh day of the first month, Mrs. Fu gave an invitation, if the third sister is free, go to the General's Mansion with me and my mother, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Qiang tugged at her cousin's shirt in displeasure.

Yan Wan noticed it, shook his head and refused: "That day, my mother took me to my uncle's house, and I won't go with my second sister." ”

Yan Rong said pity, "Then go over another day." ”

After Yan Wan left, Yan Qiang followed her cousin back to the house and asked excitedly: "Second sister, what are you calling her to do?" ”

"I understand your thoughts, but everyone is sisters, in previous years, she was not in the house, but this year she is here, I can't invite you and not call her, right?"

Yan Rong said and sat down on the side of the kang, stroked the half-read medical scripture with her hand, and muttered, "Isn't there something she can do?" The fifth sister fell ill after returning to the house because of the sign of the Fayuan Temple a year ago, and the seventh general's mansion went to you and my sister. When the words fell, he raised his eyes and smiled at Yan Qiang.
