Chapter 195: The East Window Incident
Gui Fang brought the two maids into the courtyard, Xiao Xia had just finished dinner and had not slept yet, and heard Gui Fang say that Mrs. Liang had sent half of the ginseng soup for Miao Dandan to herself, and Xiao Xia was grateful.
suddenly felt that Miao Dandan was her sister-in-law after all, even if she was not good to herself, her eldest brother Liang Chenyu had always been good to herself, and now when people are really dead and alive, she can't even look at it.
So, she asked Gui Fang to comb back the hair that had just been separated, change her clothes and go to visit Miao Dandan.
Before going out, the rough woman who sprinkled and swept the yard came out: "Miss Xiaoxia, the old slave of ginseng soup sent by Mrs. has already warmed it up for you, why don't you drink it and go out again?" ”
Xiao Xia touched her stomach, although she was in a bad mood today, she had a good appetite, she ate a lot tonight, and her stomach was bulging and she couldn't fit anything.
So Xiao Xia pointed to her stomach and waved her hand, her mother-in-law couldn't understand it, but Gui Fang understood: "Granny Ma, Miss said that she couldn't eat and drink at night, so you just simmer the soup, maybe Miss will come back later and be hungry?" ”
"Hey, okay!"
Seeing Xiao Xia and the others go out, Ma Pozi returned to the kitchen and carefully moved the crockpot to the stove to simmer.
Mrs. Wang, who was boiling water next to her, took a look: "The charcoal fire in the stove is sufficient, just such a small clay pot, it will definitely dry if it simmers for less than two hours." ”
"What then? I don't know when the young lady will come back? When do you want to drink it? In case it's still cold when you want to drink it, don't we have to complain? ”
Mrs. Wang got up and came over, opened the jar to see, and a tempting fragrance wafted out, making the two swallow their saliva, and their eyes stared at the inside of the jar and couldn't take their eyes off.
"Look. There's also a pigeon in there! ”
"Ginseng pigeon, this is a great tonic, Madame is really distressed."
"But no, you said that our young lady can't speak without roots, why is she so lucky? The old slave has served in the Liang Mansion all his life, and he has never eaten such good things! ”
"Me too, I'm greedy when I look at it."
The two looked at each other. They looked at each other and smiled slyly. Mrs. Wang stood up: "I'll go get the bowl and spoon." ”
Mrs. Wang scooped out most of the bowl of soup with a spoon, closed her eyes and sniffed vigorously: "It's so fragrant!" You smell it too! ”
Ma Pozi took it and closed her eyes and smelled it with enjoyment. sighed: "It's really fragrant! I think my wife has lived all her life, but she has never eaten such a good thing, it's a pity! ”
"Go, won't you be blessed now?"
"This ...... Sister Wang. Let's drink so much, what should we do if the young lady asks? ”
"Silly you? The ginseng soup is so thick. Let's add more water and simmer, and when the soup and water are evenly combined, who knows if we eat secretly or not? ”
"Well, that's a good idea. I'm going to fetch water. ”
The two of them filled the crockpot to the brim, covered it and simmered, and the rest of the two drank it cleanly in one gulp. I even licked the bowl a few times before I was willing.
The two tidied up the kitchen and went back to the house satisfied. He fell asleep.
Xiao Xia came to Miao Dandan's courtyard, and before she entered the door, she listened to Miao Dandan's high and low ** cries of pain inside, she stood at the door for a while, and dared to go in only when she was prepared.
In the courtyard, Mrs. Liang and Liang Chenyu were so anxious to turn around, the old lady was wearing a thick blanket and refused to leave, and Liang Guogong bent down to persuade her.
When Mrs. Liang saw Xiao Xia, she quickly came over and took her hand: "Xiao Xia, why are you here?" ”
Xiao Xia held up the sentence he had written earlier: "I'll come to see my sister-in-law and nephew." ”
Mrs. Liang's tangled eyebrows relaxed: "Your eldest nephew hasn't come out yet, it's really a toss for her mother!" ”
The screams of pain in the room were quiet for a while, everyone looked back, and after a while, Miao Dandan's howls of pain returned, this is really a painful process, not something that can be completed in one or two clicks.
Modern children can be born by caesarean section, and it can be solved with a knife, but there is no shortcut to giving birth to a child in ancient times, it can only be stiff, and it can come down in half an hour fast, and it is possible to toss slowly for a day or two.
Miao Dandan was uncomfortable, and everyone had no ease, so they were forced to guard outside, until Miao Dandan's scream in the second half of the night, and finally gave birth to a baby boy of more than six catties.
The old lady and Liang Guogong were overjoyed, and immediately rewarded the servants who served, and everyone else in the house was also rewarded.
In the joy of still resting, Xiao Xia yawned and went back to the house, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he was next to the bed.
Su Linglong finished what he wanted to do, hid all the way back to the courtyard, and when he entered the door, he saw Gui Ying and Guilan hurriedly catching up: "Second young grandmother, where have you been?" The slave has been looking for you for a long time. ”
"I heard that my sister-in-law gave birth, go over and take a look, is there anything wrong?"
"I didn't ...... It's not a big deal, it's just the birth of the eldest and youngest grandmothers, the second young grandmother, have you had dinner? ”
"Nope."
"The slave has it for you."
Su Linglong didn't say anything, went into the house to eat with a cold face, and then went to see Liang Chenjing, although they were still a little cold to each other, they felt like they had nothing to say, but fortunately there was no quarrel, which made the people who were waiting secretly relieved.
Liang Chenjing was injured, the two naturally couldn't share the same bed, Su Linglong slept on the small couch opposite the bed in order to take care of her convenience before returning to her parents' house, but she didn't have it tonight, so she went directly to sleep in the study next door.
She didn't want anyone to keep vigil, but instead told Gui Ying, who was on vigil, to wake herself up if she had something, and then closed the door with a bang.
This whole night, Su Linglong didn't sleep much, she pointed her ears and listened to the movement outside, hoping to hear the news of Yu Xiaoxia's bad luck as expected, but until the sky began to shine, she didn't wait for Yu Xiaoxia's news, but came the news that Miao Dandan gave birth to her eldest son.
Su Linglong panicked for a while, she simply didn't sleep, got up directly, called Guilan up and found a few supplements to visit Miao Dandan.
Miao Dandan tossed for a day and a night, sleeping soundly, still sleeping, tomorrow is bright, but the Liang Mansion is quiet, as if it is night.
Irritable, she paced in the Liang Mansion and walked slowly, she had never turned the Liang Mansion carefully and carefully, this was the first time.
When she walked to a secluded courtyard in the corner of the lake, she heard someone buzzing and crying inside, now is the time when the Liang Mansion is jubilant, who would hide in this remote corner and cry?
She wondered. Follow the voice to the gate of the courtyard.
This is a rather simple courtyard, at least compared to the other buildings in the Liang Mansion, this courtyard is indeed a bit shabby. Such a place is usually only inhabited by people, right? Su Linglong thought so in his heart.
"Sister Guizhi, don't be sad, it's not necessarily a bad thing for the eldest grandmother to give birth to her eldest son, she has to be confined for a month and can't go out, the eldest young master will definitely come back more diligently. Here's your chance! ”
"What chances? She didn't let me get close to the eldest young master for half a minute with her big belly. Let alone...... I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm afraid the eldest young master has forgotten me a long time ago, even if he remembers me. With my grandmother in front of me, what else can I do? ”
"Sister Guizhi, the young grandmother is amazing, did you just give up? Planning to stay in this courtyard for the rest of your life? ”
Guizhi cried even harder. Su Linglong shifted his steps and tilted his head to look, and suddenly found that the woman who persuaded him was a little familiar. Look closely, isn't that Mei Xiang who used to serve in her own courtyard?
Yes, it was her, when she got her body back. This Ju Xiang is still serving by Mei Xiang's side, and he is trying his best to send them away, this Ju Xiang is still acquainted. said that she has a sweetheart and begs her own decision. At that time, I let her out by pushing the boat, why is she still in the house?
Ju Xiang sighed lightly: "Look at you, what kind of torture have you been?" Instead of suffering like this, it is better to find someone like me and let him out, and live a much more comfortable life! ”
Gui Zhi wiped the corners of his eyes: "Ju Xiang, don't say it, if you can do it all over again, I'd rather find someone who is almost free to let it out, but now that I am the concubine of the eldest young master, what can I do?" ”
"This ......"
Their conversation Su Linglong listened to it very clearly, and she thought in her heart, it turned out that this was the legendary Liang Chenyu's room, and later mentioned it as an aunt, Miao Dandan hated this woman to death.
Hmph, doesn't she look down on me? Didn't Liang Chenyu also look at me unpleasantly? Miao Dandan is now proud, and she still wants to calculate the old lady's private property, wouldn't I be sorry for myself if I didn't find something for her to do?
Su Linglong sneered in his heart, pushed the door and walked in.
Gui Zhi and Mei Xiang, who heard the sound, turned around, and when they saw Su Linglong's face, Mei Xiang's face turned white, and she was so frightened that she quickly knelt down: "Say hello to the second young grandmother." ”
Su Linglong smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite, and you're not an outsider, this is the eldest brother's second aunt, right?" Shouldn't I call my sister-in-law? ”
Gui Zhi was startled, and hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "The second young grandmother can't help it, how can she afford the status ......of a cheap concubine?"
"I said you can afford it, get up, let's have a good talk."
Su Linglong sat in Guizhi Courtyard with a smile for more than an hour, and did not leave with a smile until lunchtime.
Gui Zhi and Mei Xiang personally sent Su Linglong out of the hospital, and Gui Zhi looked back in a daze: "Mei Xiang, what do you mean by the second young grandmother?" Why can't I understand? ”
Mei Xiang's eyes flashed slightly, and she pulled her back to the courtyard and whispered, "Sister Guizhi, you are lucky." ”
"Huh? What the? ”
Mei Xiang blinked: "The second young grandmother is going to win you over to deal with the eldest young grandmother, isn't it your luck?" ”
Coming out of Guizhi Courtyard, Su Linglong was in a much better mood, but why hadn't Yu Xiaoxia's courtyard moved yet? She was always worried about it.
When she went back, she deliberately went around half a circle from the gate of Xiaoxia Courtyard, and saw that the door of her courtyard was closed, and it was quiet inside, as if they were all asleep.
Su Linglong frowned and thought about it, it's okay, whether it succeeds or not, there will be news sooner or later, being too anxious will make people suspicious, if it doesn't work this time, will there be a next time? I don't believe I can't kill you, huh!
Su Linglong sneered, and walked unhurriedly to his yard with a shelf.
Last night it was too late, in the afternoon, the Liang Mansion was lively, Mrs. Liang, who had rested enough, let the house take care of it, and hung red lanterns everywhere like the New Year, celebrating the joy of the birth of the eldest grandson of the Liang family, and sending a letter to all the relatives and friends of the Liang family to report the good news, Miao Dandan's maiden family was the first to get the news, and the Su family also had a share.
When relatives and friends sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and Mrs. Liang was happily checking the gift list, she suddenly heard a long and long terrifying scream next door.
The voice resounded over the Liang Mansion, startling countless birds, and Mrs. Liang's hand trembled a few times when she looked at the post.
She was stunned for a moment, frowned and reprimanded: "What is the call of the big day? Come on, go over and see what's going on? ”
The little maid Chunxi ran out and hurried back with a white face after a while, she was so frightened that she couldn't breathe, her face was pale, and she stammered: "Husband... Madame, no, no, no... Oh no! Small... Miss Xiaoxia...... Miss Konatsu ......"
Mrs. Liang was anxious, slapped the table and said angrily, "What's wrong with Xiao Xia?" ”
Chunxi lay on the ground: "Madam, the two rough mothers-in-law in Miss Xiaoxia's courtyard are dead!" ”
"What?"
"The two rough mothers-in-law in Miss Xiaoxia's courtyard are dead, they are dead thoroughly, and their whole bodies are hard!"
After sitting for a long time, Mrs. Liang stood up with a hula and hurried to the next door.
When she arrived at Xiao Xia's yard, she saw a lot of people around the gate of the courtyard to watch the excitement, Gu's mother dispersed the crowd, and Mrs. Liang went in coldly in the coming year, just in time to see the family carrying the two mothers-in-law out of the door with a door panel, Xiao Xia covered her mouth and stood aside with a frightened face.
Mrs. Liang went over to open the white cloth and took a look, and saw that the two mothers-in-law had dead white faces, as if they were asleep.
Mrs. Liang swept her eyes around, beckoned Gui Fang over and asked, "Who found out first?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, it's Cui'er."
Cui'er, who was named, knelt down with a puff: "Madam, the slave and maid don't know anything, the slave and maid just went to get up the two mothers-in-law, and they didn't move after calling them a few times, and the slave and maid went to remove the quilt, and saw that their faces were not right, and after probing and finding that they were not angry, the slave and maid ran out in fright." Madam, it has nothing to do with the slave maid, the slave and the maid don't know anything, please spare the slave and maid! ”
Cui'er was indeed frightened, but fortunately, she spoke quite clearly, seeing her trembling and kowtowing, Mrs. Liang frowned slightly, waved her hand and motioned for her subordinates to take her away.
Gui Fang said in a low voice: "Madam, the slave maid has already sent someone to ask for Imperial Doctor Liu in the house, but there are no symptoms on the surface, do you want to ask the servant to take a look?" ”
Mrs. Liang glared at her: "What do you want?" On the day of the big day, this kind of thing is reported, do you want our Liang Mansion to go to court? ”
Gui Fang lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "The slave is too talkative!" ”
In fact, Mrs. Liang was also a little nervous, she has always been lenient to her subordinates, even if there is a slave making trouble, she is directly tied up and sent to the government, and this kind of thing has not happened in the house for several years.
She secretly pinched herself to calm down: "Mother Gu, hurry up and send someone to invite the master and Yu'er, and let her come back quickly." Also, bring in the butler and a few old stewards. Also, at the door, all the excitement was dispersed, what should I do, and whoever dared to chew the root of my tongue immediately asked people to take it away. ”
After arranging this qiē, Mrs. Liang sat aside with a white face, and she also needed to be calm and calm.
At this time, Yu Xiaoxia gradually woke up from the shock, she helped Mrs. Liang to sit down, Mrs. Liang looked back at her and patted her hands: "Xiaoxia, don't be afraid, ah!" There's a mother! ”
Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment, her heart was as warm as a stove, she pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded vigorously. (To be continued.) )
