Chapter 108: Battle of Words
After Chen Wei left, Qingjia became more tired all day long, the more difficult the pregnancy became, and every night she woke up empty, and she no longer saw the meticulous thoughtfulness of the person in the past, and her heart was also bitter. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she lets Chunhong help her walk around the yard every day, but after a cup of tea, this little girl nagged her back to the room.
"Madam, before leaving, the general ordered that you should not go out of the house when it is cold, and don't freeze at that time, that will be a crime."
If she does this every day, her ears are about to hear the calloon. But fortunately, she was babbling in her ears, every word was Chen Wei's earnest instructions before leaving, although the words were trivial, but Qingjia listened to it very much, as if he was still by his side.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year came, and Huadu was lit up everywhere, this was Qingjia's first year in charge of the General's Mansion.
But now that she is pregnant, her body is very bulky, and her spirit is short, so she has no heart to work on these things. Fortunately, the housekeeper was able to take care of the things she ordered in an orderly manner, which was very eye-catching.
Although Chen Wei is not there, and there is no male host at home, this subordinate who is full of mansions and gardens has also worked hard for a year, and in the end, it should naturally be lively.
Mo Qingjia is careful in his daily life, but he never treats his subordinates harshly, and he is generous and rewards them with a lot of things.
Looking at the joy on other people's faces, Qingjia was a little diluted even though she was full of sorrow.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the back kitchen prepared a whole table of exquisite dishes, and Qingjia came to the hall with her body propped up, sitting alone at the dining table, surrounded by people who were ready to serve her meal.
Qingjia couldn't help sighing when she saw it, this table was full of delicacies, even if she had a stomach as big as a basin, she couldn't eat it, so she said to the housekeeper: "The dinner is so rich, how can I use it alone, let's all work together......
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Madam, this master and servant are humble and different, there has been no such rule since ancient times, if you are worried about waste, you can't eat and reward them later, you really don't have to be so condescending, they can't afford it." โ
Qingjia was speechless, but the housekeeper's bitter advice was also a headache, and he hurriedly pointed to the two dishes in front of him and said, "I am tired, you send these two dishes to my room, and the rest will be rewarded according to you." โ
The housekeeper received the order in a low voice, Qingjia returned to the room and sighed, she is now in the mansion, the stars are holding the moon to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't know how the third brother is doing?
It's only been a few days, and I think I haven't arrived in the southeast yet, and she has experienced the hardships of running around and working hard during the march. So I was even more sad, but I don't know if he was warmly dressed and fed.
Although she is mostly just worrying about the sky, Chen Weigui is a general, and no one dares to snub him wherever he goes.
But the thought of him running around made her feel uncomfortable.
This is the first New Year they have spent after reuniting, but they never thought about it but also fell short, and in the end, they still only missed each other thousands of miles apart.
The next day, the people in the house came to greet Qingjia for the New Year, and she prepared a red envelope early, which came in handy, and everyone got two taels of silver, all of them smiled.
Not long after, there are many officials and wives who come to visit the New Year, and now Qingjia's status is quite high among the noblewomen of Huadu, except for those princesses and county lords who have no real power and only false names, it is still Qingjia who is more valuable, so at such a time, no matter what is for the superficial effort and persuasion, there is always no shortage of people to come up.
There was a guest who came to the door, so Qingjia had to cheer up and entertain the guests.
Most of those ladies wanted to be familiar with each other, and some of them came to see jokes.
After all, now that Chen Wei has left the dynasty, she is the only one in the huge general's mansion, and she doesn't even have anyone to rely on. Pregnant women whose husbands are not by their side can always make some people feel extremely lonely and pitiful.
Qing Jia slightly modified her complexion with rouge, and then asked the housekeeper to invite them in, and she was lying on the chaise longue leisurely looking at the script, looking noble and lazy.
Those ladies and wives sat down one after another, looked left and right, and saw Qingjia moth's eyebrows swiping, her lips slightly pointed, her eyebrows were smart, and she was looking forward to it, where was the expected loneliness and fatigue.
Some people who want to see the joke are also a little sneering for a while, but Qingjia is down-to-earth and generous, all kinds of thoughtful and thoughtful, and it is appropriate to accompany the ladies to talk, and there is no difference at all, and it is an aristocratic demeanor.
"Madame's belly is not small for the last month, but it's a pity that the general can't be by your side to give birth." The one who spoke was the wife of the servant of the ministry, who had always been good friends with Mrs. Lu, and had seen her a few times in the Lu Mansion when Qingjia was not married before.
At that time, she was just an inconspicuous scholar, and no one expected that today, her status would have long been above everyone present.
"This woman gave birth to a child and walked through the ghost door, and at that fateful moment, she still has to have a man with her, otherwise she has no bottom in her heart."
As soon as Mrs. Shilang finished speaking, the side room of Zhongshu Ling said: "But no, when I gave birth to the third child, I really couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep well, and I didn't grow meat with a long belly, but my lord was in a hurry, and he thought about the law every day to let me eat," as soon as he mentioned this, his eyebrows flew and danced: "When it was time to give birth, he waited outside, and he didn't close his eyes all night, and even the court was delayed." โ
The lady in the side room covered her mouth and chuckled: "Later, when I mentioned this matter to him, he said: You were in a difficult and painful time at that time, how could I not be by your side, even if I went to the court, it would not be practical." โ
These words are inevitably suspected of showing off, but everyone here is a human spirit, so naturally they will not do anything that makes people shameless, if they are friends, they will echo twice, and if they are not harmonious, they will laugh silently.
Qing Jia also felt very interesting when he watched them go back and forth, these people all had ghosts in their hearts, but they still looked happy on their faces, but it was difficult for them to bear to see it like this.
She watched them talk and laugh as if she was watching a play, and she really felt that the wealthy family was deep, and it was not easy for everyone to survive in it.
After everyone talked for a while, the lady of the squire turned the topic back again: "...... However, the general's soldiers are like gods, and he will definitely be able to calm down the southeast and rush back to accompany his wife to give birth. โ
Qing Jia just smiled faintly when he heard this, his tone and expression were no more ordinary, he was not moved at all, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "This is not in a hurry, it is the most important thing to live up to the trust of the saints, how can the small things of the family house be compared with the major affairs of the country, everything has a priority." She straightened the soft quilt on her stomach and said, "Besides, he won't be able to help when he comes back." โ
It is the woman who gives birth, it is the woman who suffers, and what is the use of a man on the side except for dry staring. I can't say that if Chen Wei is here, I don't know what to do when I hear my screams outside, if that's the case, I still have to endure the pain, and I am even more anxious.
Qingjia can see this, after Chen Wei left in the past few days, she herself has thought about it carefully, and it will not be so uncomfortable to see it.
So now the mood is already light, after all, the most important thing now is to take care of your body.
Mrs. Fang said: "That being said, the general cherishes his wife so much, what a pity it would be if he couldn't witness the birth of the child for the first time." โ
Qing Jia smiled when he heard this: "What Madame said is reasonable, but it's a pity that I am married to a general, it is his responsibility to protect the family and the country, and it is his life to fight for the horse, and the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness since ancient times, not to mention that it is just a child's affection, which is not worth mentioning." Her voice was soft and gentle, and she said: "If you can be like a lady, married to a poet and a minister, then you can be a poet and a minister every day, and you can write poems every day, and you can guide the country without fighting and killing, and the future is limitless, it is really good." It's just a pity that Qingjia doesn't have such good luck. โ
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people present were different, only Qingjia's mood did not fluctuate, and the words spit out from the beautifully shaped lip seemed to be mocking and sarcastic, and it was really embarrassing to be embarrassed.
Mrs. Fang unconsciously clenched the Jinpa in her hand, forced a smile, and said, "Madame's words are really tormenting the concubine." โ
Among the people present today, her status is not high, just a side room, although the original wife in the Zhongshu Ling Mansion is no longer there, but she has not been corrected for a long time, and she is always a head shorter than others, so even if she was stabbed by Qingjia's words, she could only smile and respond.
A woman's status in the family determines whether she can hold her head up and be a man in this life, otherwise even if her husband is pampering herself, she will be weak and short of breath in front of outsiders.
Here are all the main wives of high-ranking officials in the court, and even worse is the stepwife of Ming Media is marrying, only she is not embarrassed or embarrassed in the middle, and now she is ridiculed and even her husband is looked down upon, which is really funny like a clown.
Mrs. Fang glanced at Mrs. Shilang and stopped talking, and the rest of the people tacitly agreed, Qingjia was secretly funny, and no one helped her at this time, which showed that she was also an unlikable person.
The lady of the squire continued like a nobody: "I see that Mrs. likes to eat sour plums, which is the so-called sour and spicy girl, and I think it should be for the little prince to come to the belly." โ
Indeed, a stack of fine sour plums in the toilet room on the small wooden table next to Qing Jia, every time you eat one when you feel bitter in your mouth, you will feel much more comfortable.
Qingjia smiled lightly: "Then thank you Mrs. Jiyan." โ
Chen Wei is a general, and he also has a knighthood. The Yan Dynasty has had laws since the beginning of Taizu, but if a man is knighted by virtue of his military merits, the title can be inherited hereditarily.
Therefore, if there is a boy in Qingjia's womb, then he is a well-deserved double prince, that is, the son of the general and the prince of the marquis, how many pairs of eyes are there staring at it.
"It's just that the big families have always paid attention to the family, as the so-called mother is expensive by son, if the lady can get a man in one fell swoop, then there will be no worries."
This lady squire has insinuations in every word, how can Qingjia not know it.
What she said was just emphasizing that she was not from a high background, and if she couldn't give birth to a son to Chen Wei, her status couldn't be said to be solid. After all, she and Chen Wei are not a good match, and in the eyes of outsiders, her status as his wife is indeed not noble.
Qingjia sneered in her heart, she has a family on the left and another background, isn't it just to talk about her daughter, and her status is not high.
But I don't want to think about it, isn't Lu Qingyu's identity very high, so isn't he also staying in the nunnery.
Dare to love that she has such bad intentions in every word today, isn't it that Mrs. Lu didn't come, so she came to block herself?
Qingjia's tone suddenly became brisk: "Yes, as Mrs. said, it is not dangerous for a woman to give birth to a child, and I also hope that this baby can be a boy, so that it can be regarded as a legitimate eldest son," I saw her words change: "If it is a girl, then it must be a crime." After all, Qingjia is not as many sisters as Mrs. You, so she can share the pressure on the heirs for Lord Shilang. โ
"Poofโ"
"Whew-"
There were several ladies who watched the play with relish, and Qingjia suddenly said this, and she didn't hold back for a while, and laughed quite indecently.
In an instant, Mrs. Shilang's Lian turned from red to blue, which showed that she was very angry, but she had nowhere to attack, so she could only swallow it in her heart.
Fang Yulang, the servant of the ministry, is well-known for his romance, and there are as many as eight concubines in the family alone, not to mention the confidantes outside.
Qingjia took this to talk about it, it was the sore spot that hit her hard, and she hated it in her heart but was helpless, after all, it was her husband who was not angry and gave people a handle for nothing, so what could she do!
With such a secret competition, those who came to block her were inevitably bored, and I am afraid that some people will not be happy on the first day of the new year.
Qingjia gloated.
However, if someone is willing to come and amuse herself, then she is still welcome. I have to say that such an attack satirized those ill-intentioned people speechless, and my heart was also very happy.
Although Qingjia rarely cares about people's tongues, this does not mean that she is a soft bun that can be manipulated by others.
Chen Wei has just left, and there are people here who come to see her jokes, wishing that she has to live well, so she can't let those people get her way.
Perhaps, in everyone's eyes, Chen Wei has always protected herself, as if he had no support when he was not around, but she forgot that in the three years they were separated, she had always survived by herself, and after all, it was also after all, how could she be stimulated by them in a few words.
If that's the case, then my days will be in vain.
After sending away those ladies and wives, Qingjia was all comfortable, as if all the stuffiness in his heart had been vented, and his mood improved.
He said to the housekeeper on the side, "I'm hungry, tell the back kitchen to add two more dishes tonight." โ
The housekeeper was overjoyed and happily responded.
Qingjia looked at the heavy snow that was still blowing outside the window, holding her stomach with both hands, breathing deeply, and thinking silently in her heart.
Third brother, don't worry, even if you are not there, no one can bully me.
At this moment, she really felt that she was no longer the little woman who would only hide in Chen Wei's arms and be coquettish.
She is going to be a mother, and she really can't be weak and bullied anymore.
Motherhood is strong. (To be continued.) )
