Chapter XXXVII
Qin Xiyan watched the old lady carefully calculate the date of her birth, and felt a little happy in her heart, but when she glanced at the old lady's expression, she was very cold, and she didn't have the joy of holding her grandson at all.
"Yes......" she replied hesitantly, not knowing what kind of medicine the old lady sold in the gourd.
"You say, this month, two months, it's about the same, if this child is born a little later, how can it be good?"
The old lady picked up the tea bowl and blew it again, this time with a stranger look.
Qin Xiyan didn't understand what the old lady meant, the child had been born for more than four months, and at most five months would have been born, she couldn't hide it no matter what, she was destined to be pregnant outside, because of this incident, she was also very annoyed, she should have come to the door two months in advance, but unfortunately too many things happened in the middle, and there was no good opportunity.
She was a little nervous, and instinctively stroked her slightly bulging belly with her hands.
The old lady seemed to have expected her to answer like this, so she said, "What can I do, it's too close to the filial piety period, and when the child is born, I can't say clearly." ”
The old lady felt extremely leisurely at the moment, and the things that were decided in one sentence on weekdays were divided into many sentences today.
Qin Xiyan's heart thumped fiercely, and she finally realized that the old lady didn't want this child.
Yes, she just confirmed that she was pregnant, the eldest master of the Chu family went, and a few days later, the news of the death of the queen mother came, and the national filial piety began, so carefully calculating the time, it is really difficult to say.
But the Chu family is thin, and she doesn't have a son yet, she can't figure it out at all, since she is pregnant, what a good thing this is, the old lady should leave her regardless of turning her face with his wife, why is this so?
She didn't give up, "Old lady, this is your own grandson." ”
Who knew that the old lady lowered her eyelids and said coldly, "This child was conceived outside, what do you use to prove that this must be my grandson." ”
That's a damaging statement.
Qin Xiyan's body was cold, his whole heart fell to the bottom, he couldn't kneel anymore, and sat on the ground with all his strength.
The old lady lifted the lid of the cup again, glanced at the tea, directly put the bowl on Shen's mother's tray, and got up by herself on the table of the Eight Immortals.
When she passed by Qin Xiyan's side, she said leisurely, "That's it, I have a good medicine here, if you drink it, I will be the master and carry you as an aunt, and your mother, who depends on each other, can also enter the house together and still serve you, how about it?" ”
Qin Xiyan raised her head sharply and looked at the old lady in disbelief, why, this is obviously her own grandson.
But the old lady didn't give her a chance to take a good look, turned around and went into the western room.
Just as she raised her hand to lift the curtain herself, she heard Qin Xiyan crying out in grief and despair behind her, "You, aren't you afraid, I'll go around shouting and make this matter bigger?" "Serious readers, who are outside the outer room at will.
The old lady turned her head and saw Qin Xiyan, who was sitting on the ground, with red eyes, clenching her teeth, as if she was staring at her with a poisonous gaze, but she felt that it was a pity, she knew that this was the case, it was better to wait for her stupid son to come back and deal with this matter, so that he could see the other side of the woman.
Men, they always feel that women are weak and stupid, and they always feel that as long as they coax women, they will be obediently at their mercy, and they will never know that the superficial deception is just a good-looking painting skin.
The old lady seemed to be more interested, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was contemptuous and mocking, "Even if you go, even if you let everyone in the world know that you are a cheap * woman, an adult* woman, my son is still young, it's a big deal to study for a few more years, and when he goes to high school one day, you are just a romantic past of his young and frivolous." Girl, think about what you wanted in the first place. ”
The old lady seemed to be in a good mood, she didn't mind saying a few more words, but she accidentally drank too much tea, so she had to slowly walk into the inner room, and slowly entered the clean room.
Qin Xiyan watched the old lady's gauze in the west fall again, and the old lady's determined figure disappeared behind the screen, and she lost her mind in confusion, yes, what can she do, what else can she do.
At this moment, the child in her belly kicked her hard, and pulled her sanity back to reality.
She covered her stomach with both hands, her fingers unconsciously tangled the clothes of the banana cloth, and real tears finally flowed out. What to do, this is her flesh and blood.
"Miss Qin, your place of residence has been arranged." Shen's mother said, and she didn't ask Qin Xiyan's opinion, she directly glanced at the two mothers-in-law beside her, and the mother-in-law understood, and dragged her to the backyard with Qin Xiyan's arm on the side.
Shen's mother went to the small kitchen and instructed Ren's mother to boil the medicine herself, and Ren's mother was worried, "What if she refuses to drink it." "Qin Xiyan is still a woman from a good family, they are not easy to force.
Shen's mother said firmly, "She won't, she can enter the house comfortably as an aunt if she gives up her child, if she doesn't want to, not only will she not be able to get glory and wealth, but she will also have a bad reputation from now on, and it will be difficult to deceive a man like this again." ”
What's more, she didn't originally enter the mansion to be an aunt for her mother and son, but now she is only one step away, but she is just missing a piece of meat.
The child will have it in the future, but if this opportunity is lost, it will never come back again.
Mother Ren listened, so she nodded clearly, they have been with the old lady for a lifetime, and when they were young, they also saw many maids of the same age doing everything to get to their children's beds, of course, they know a lot about this kind of woman, and they also have a lot of contempt.
Shen's mother said, "You prepare the medicine first, and when Miss Qin says that she wants to drink it, you will immediately boil it and send it over." ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely get through it myself." Ren's mother assured.
In the Green Onion Xuan, Ruan had already washed the ash off his face, sat crooked on the couch to eat bird's nest porridge, and also served a bowl to Xiusun.
Seeing that Xiusun was dumbfounded and obviously absent-minded, he asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Scared? ”
Xiusun nodded stunnedly, yes, she was scared.
treats her aunt, who has always only rushed up to beat her, and every time she must do it herself, this time she changed her strategy without the slightest precaution and pretended to be sick.
What a high-tech strategy this is, Xiusun remembered the white beeswax on Ruan's face, this white beeswax is usually lumpy, and it has to be melted in advance and added some grease to keep it paste, she often used beeswax to make scented candles for the imperial grandmother in her previous life.
This shows that today's pretending to be sick was premeditated by Ruan's in advance, and she already knew that she was pregnant.
Ruan Shi smiled happily, nodded the corner of his daughter's forehead, and said with a smile, "My silly daughter, you have to remember that as long as it is a useful way, it is a good way." ”
Xiusun rubbed against Ruan's side little by little, and her short, fat little hand was on Ruan's stomach, and there was no difference there, but Xiusun carefully felt the movement there.
Ruan gently put his slender and slender hand on Xiusun's little hand, "Xiusun is about to have a younger brother, is Gao happy?" ”
Xiusun felt a little puzzled, how did Ruan's know that this was her younger brother, she didn't know that Ruan's planned to use the Fang Sheng box again after giving birth to this one, and if she continued to give birth like this, she would always be able to give birth to a boy after three years and four years.
She still squinted her eyes and smiled brightly, and nodded heavily, "Hmm." ”
Ruan smiled and stroked her forehead.
Chen's mother came in and looked at Xiusun twice, but Xiusun said, "Mother, just let me know, you are pregnant, I want to protect you." ”
Ruan Shi was moved and ironed, so he asked Chen's mother to sit on the small pestle.
Chen's mother told the old lady what she meant, and she was quite indignant.
Ruan Shi leaned back on the pillow, "According to the old lady's wishes, people still have to be in front of them to grasp it, just don't let her get pregnant again." ”
"What's more," Ruan Shi lengthened his voice, "that person is now the heart of the eighth master, let's not break ground on Tai Sui's head." ”
Mother Chen, who usually persuades Ruan's not to be impulsive, was impulsive this time, "That little," remembering that Xiusun was also there, she stopped her mouth, and paused before she said again, "She looks like a powerful person." ”
Ruan said, "So, she is so powerful, let her toss, tomorrow I will go back to the old lady, hand over the right of housekeeping, and then we will close the door and take care of the baby." ”
Xiusun lowered her head and drank the bird's nest porridge in the pastel bowl, and secretly praised it, Gao Ming.
Since the woman entered the Buddha Hand Lake Courtyard, the Ruan family didn't even fight in person, but just made a small bet with the child in her womb, and basically won.
Even if she loses, the old lady even accepts the child, even if the woman gives birth to a son, there is no need to worry.
The most important thing for the Ruan family now is to give birth to a child, as long as she can give birth to a son-in-law, with her ability, this property is not how she wants to divide it.
This was a bigger gamble, related to the rest of Nguyen's life and a small part of Xiusun's future.
Compared to this big gamble, today this is a trivial matter at all.
can contain the feelings, and at such a moment, he knows how to grasp the big and let go of the small, Xiusun admires. Looking back and thinking about it, it is actually not surprising that Ruan followed her grandmother to do business when she was in her mother's house, and if the business can be done well, at least she is a person who can bend and stretch and know how to analyze calmly, just like the appearance of the Ruan family's uncle.
From this point of view, her magical mother-in-law has used simple and crude tactics to resolve the dispute between wives and concubines for so many years, and she should just feel that this is more pleasant.
Also, people who have never played with their hearts and eyes will not think about it even if someone thinks it is strange.
I thought that I would have to wait patiently for two days to know the result, but I didn't expect that night, there was a commotion in the old lady's yard, and Xiusun was woken up when she slept in the blue gauze cupboard, she hesitated, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
The mandarin duck on duty at night had already woken up, and when he saw Xiusun lifting the curtain and was about to get out of bed, he hurriedly jumped off the Xiangfei couch and ran over to stop Xiusun, "My miss, where are you going, it's so cold." ”
Xiusun said, "I'm scared, I'm going to find my grandmother." As he spoke, he put on his shoes.
The mandarin duck knew that Xiusun was right, and was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he quickly took off the cloak on the screen next to him and wrapped Xiusun tightly.
Xiusun trotted all the way into the old lady's house.
