Chapter 223: The Matchmaker
It wasn't until the full moon that Jian Ying saw the Fang family and the child.
The child's appearance has grown, white and tender, with long eyebrows and round eyes, and he is very beautiful, and he can vaguely see the shadow of the Fang family.
Fang's waist is still a little bloated, his face is ruddy, and he is slightly powdered, which is even brighter than when he was not in production. Chatting and laughing with a group of female dependents, when others praise the child, they either reply "I have won the award", or laugh and do not say anything.
I never saw her hug the child once, and even when she looked at it, her eyes faintly showed a little alienation and worry.
Fang's thoughts, Jian Ying could somewhat guess some.
Counting the days, there is a good chance that this child is Zhou Han's. Fang had always hoped to be a girl, and even the small clothes he made were women's, but he didn't do what he wanted, and he gave birth to a boy.
If you give birth to a girl and marry at the age of fifteen, you will be from another family. Although I won't cut off contact with my mother's family, there are limited contacts.
Boys are different, they have to go to the family tree, they involve generations and family property, and they will die in the future and go to the ancestral grave, and the spirit card must also be placed in the ancestral hall. Even when you grow up, you will dangle it under your nose.
She, a mother, whether she lives or dies, will be judged by ethics and morality over and over again.
In short, having a boy is far more troublesome than a girl.
Jian Ying secretly sighed, hoping that the Fang clan could turn the corner as soon as possible, otherwise the child would be too pitiful.
It was still early before the banquet, and Jian Ying was impatient to talk to this group of women, so she led the second wife Jian to the Blue Courtyard to talk.
Second Mrs. Jian lifted Jian Ying's clothes and looked at it. Looking at her little mound-like belly that had just bulged, she couldn't stop sighing, "Your belly is too small, don't you eat well, the child can't grow up, right?" ”
"When the second aunt said this, Mother Jiang and Mother Fang are going to cry out for injustice." Jian Ying laughed jokingly, "The two of them make me delicious food ten times a day, but whenever I eat less, they can't wait to open my mouth and fill it." ”
Second Mrs. Jian helped her straighten her clothes, and then pulled her to look at her carefully. "Look. When I took my clothes to cover them, I didn't look like I was pregnant at all.
Along the way, I saw that you walked lightly, and your face was flushed. I really don't look like someone who is uncomfortable somewhere. Why can't this belly get up? Have you asked the doctor? ”
"Asked. Doctor Gao said that it was probably because I was weak and cold. The child grows slowly. Jian Ying replied with a smile, "It should be no problem to recuperate for a while." ”
"That's good." Second Mrs. Jian breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her to sit beside her. He held her hand and told Yin, "This is your first child, you have to pay attention to maintenance, and you must not lose yourself." This first child is not good, and the next child is not good for eight ~ nine times out of ten.
After all, the doctor is a man, and there is only so much he can help you see. Well, I'll go back and help you find a doctor who can feel the bones, and ask her to give you a touch. If there is any problem, while the month is still young, you should take supplements, you should have a positive birth, and don't wait for the birth to suffer. ”
Jian Ying made a happy look, "That's good, I'll thank the second aunt first." ”
"Family, what's polite?" Second Mrs. Jian patted the back of her hand, and her intimacy didn't seem to be fake, as if she didn't know that the little Liu'er sitting in front of her was not the little Liu'er she had seen born with her own eyes, just a concubine who was married instead.
Jian Ying secretly admired her acting skills, laughed a few words with her, and quietly changed the topic, "I heard that my mother is not feeling well?" ”
"Yes, she's an old problem, and she always gets sick once or twice when it's cold and hot." Mrs. Jian smiled heartily, "It's not a big problem, just take a rest, you don't have to worry, just take care of the fetus." ”
Jian Ying smiled and continued to change the topic, "On the fifth day of next month, my aunt will celebrate her birthday, but I have prepared a generous gift for you." ”
"I'm not yet forty, what kind of life have I lived?" Second Mrs. Jian said with a thin voice, "It's just that the good sisters want to get together, so they use my birthday as an excuse." Don't break the bank, if you have time at that time, go over and sit down and join in the fun.
Don't you know that when my old sisters get together, they like to praise their children in different ways. If you go, you can help me grow my face. I'm going to put on a good show, I have a niece who stands out like this. ”
"Where can the second aunt use me to help you grow your face? The third sister, the fifth brother, and the eighth brother, which one is not better than me? Jian Ying continued to change the topic, "Fifth brother is going to take the big exam this fall, right?" ”
Speaking of her son, Second Mrs. Jian showed a proud look on her face, "I'm going to take the exam, and I don't know if I can get in." ”
"The fifth brother is the best reader in the Jian family's generation, and he will definitely be able to be admitted." Jian Ying patted her horse and said, "Second aunt, you just wait to be the champion mother." ”
Second Mrs. Jian smiled, "I'll go back and tell your fifth brother to tell him to work hard, don't fail the exam when the time comes, don't lose face by yourself, and call you a sister who can't be a god." ”
"It doesn't matter if you're a god or not, just ask me to be the champion sister once." Jian Ying took out the strength of colorful clothes to entertain her relatives, coaxed the second wife Jian to be physically and mentally happy, and then turned to Jian Kangjian's marriage, "I heard that my mother is sick, and I am tired of thinking that she is handling the marriage of the seventh brother."
Speaking of which, our Jian family doesn't seem to have much friendship with the Taiyuan Marquis Mansion, why did the two families suddenly talk about getting married? ”
She knew that Xiao Liu'er must have the credit here, but Xiao Liu'er was incognito and could only be the driving force behind it. On the bright side, there must be a matchmaker. She asked Luo Yuzhu to check these days, but she didn't find any clue.
Mother Jiang couldn't say why, so she could only talk to Mrs. Jian.
"I didn't have much friendship before, but our eldest man has entered the cabinet, and there are many things to worry about, and his contacts will naturally be wider." Second Mrs. Jian said with honor, "This person is your mother's own son, and she asked her aunt and grandmother to talk to the Taiyuan Marquis Mansion, and the Mrs. Taiyuan Marquis said to her mother's house, and Mrs. Yan also liked our family's family background, so she said that she wanted to look at each other." ”
Jian Ying didn't expect that there was anything about Jian Wushuang here, and she was secretly surprised in her heart, "The eldest aunt has a relationship with the Taiyuan Marquis Mansion?" ”
"I have a friendship, there is an aunt and grandmother in the Liao family who married into the Taishan Qi family, and the son-in-law is cousin to Taiyuanhou." Second Mrs. Jian glanced at her with a smile, "This in-law is intertwined, you used to live in the capital and rarely come back, no wonder you don't know the twists and turns here." ”
Jian Ying couldn't figure out for a while whether Jian Wushuang didn't know about it, and was used by Mrs. Jian Si and Xiao Liu'er, or if she knew in advance and united with Mrs. Jian Si and Xiao Liu'er, her mind turned around a few times, and then she listened around the corner again: "My mother is also too anxious, the fifth brother and the sixth brother haven't said kiss yet, why did you tell the seventh brother about kissing first?" ”
The more Mrs. Jian chatted, the more relaxed she became, and the nature of gossip was revealed, and she smiled, "It's not because of the second aunt and grandmother?" ”
