Chapter 38: The Hundred Days Feast

Magu here has been going back and forth several times, and now the yamen is very lively, full of friends. The maid and lady in the house, even the servants did not touch the ground, she sent away the maid who came to lead the way, and took Hu Caiyu to the inner room by herself.

The front hall was full of people, but the inner room was much quieter.

In front of the door of the room of the lord and the lady stood a few maids and maids, judging from the satin clothes, they should be from the nobles of the capital.

I remember that the housekeeper's mother mentioned before that Mrs. Zhixian's own sister married into the General's Mansion in Beijing and was the wife of General Pingxi.

Stopping in front of the door, Magu smiled and bowed, "It was Madame who called me." ”

A delicate-looking little maid with a double bun smiled and saluted: "Please wait a while, the slave and maid will go to the ceremony." ”

Such a transparent girl, as if she has an aura, looks like a big family. The maid who taught it.

"There is labor." Magu smiled back.

Soon the door opened again, and the maid led Magu and Hu Caiyu into the house. As soon as I stepped in, I heard a hearty laugh, "Haha, aren't you happy to see your aunt?" My aunt brought a lot of gadgets to our Brother Yi and Sister Ru. ”

A noble lady wearing a gold thread embroidered cloud brocade skirt, combing her hair in a light bun, and a golden step on the bun, is holding a milk doll in her hand, looking at the milk doll in the cradle, her eyes narrowed into a slit.

In this house, Mrs. Zhixian and her, presumably this person should be the general's wife.

I had heard from the mouths of the subordinates in the yamen before that Mrs. Zhixian only had one sibling sister above, and the other sisters were just the same father. Madame's own mother is the wife of the main house of Hefu, but she has passed away.

Magu took Caiyu forward and saluted, the general's wife was not an ordinary noblewoman, they made a big salute to the general's wife together.

"Hurry up, get up." The general's wife smiled and said, "You are the benefactor who saved my family, how can you make such a big gift?" ”

"The general's wife is serious, and Magu will never dare to take credit." It is Magu's job and mission to let every pregnant woman who enters the operating room and her child leave the operating room safely.

The general's wife was obviously surprised that Magu could guess her identity immediately, but she said calmly and calmly: "Look at how cute this Brother Yi and Sister Ru are, if it weren't for you, they, and even their mothers, I wouldn't have seen them again." ”

said, with a sad face, he looked at his own sister and said, "You said you, isn't this taking your life in Bo!" ”

"Haven't I won now?" Although he died nine times when he gave birth to a child this time, it can be compared to being married for many years and failing to bring heirs to the Fang family, what is this?

Children, for women in ancient times, were too important! In feudal society, a mother with a low status can often rely on a noble child to ascend to the sky and become a noblewoman.

As the saying goes, unfilial piety is the greatest, and having children has also become a woman's obligation to the entire family.

The topic quickly shifted to the children, the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses are indeed cute, with pink and tender faces, round eyes, as if they can't wait to understand the world.

"My sister likes children so much, and when she becomes a grandmother, you will be busy."

In the small talk, the two ladies did not shy away from Aunt Ma and them, and chatted about some miscellaneous things in the house.

"That kid has the old lady to worry about, where is my turn. She watched out for me at every turn, as if I was going to harm the child. ”

From some of the miscellaneous things they talked about, Magu could find out a thing or two. It turned out that the general's wife was not the general's original match, but filled the house. And the one in their mouths, who is about to give birth to the eldest grandson for the General's Mansion, is the wife of Liu Anyang, the eldest son left by the former wife.

And the old lady Liu must be in the house, and she must be disdainful of her.

Mrs. Zhixian was also worried when she heard this, and it seemed that her sister was not happy in the general's mansion, "My sister is doing her best, how can there be a mother-in-law who is not picky, and she can bear it." ”

Magu listened quietly on the side, the days in this mansion are not so beautiful. She couldn't help sighing, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem seems to be really an intractable problem. Although monogamy has been practiced in modern times, the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has not been improved. However, she is very glad that her mother-in-law really treats her like her own daughter, and she has always only cared and not complained.

Well, if she can't go back, then she will find such a powerful mother-in-law here and marry her son! What is this, where does she want to go, Aunt Ma thinks it's funny.

"The young grandmother in my house has always been weak, and she has been weak and sick since she was a child. If it weren't for the fact that she was the old lady's aunt and granddaughter, how could she agree to this family business. ”

Brother Yi in the arms of the general's wife was already asleep, so in order not to wake him up, he handed over the child to the nurse to take care of.

Aunt Ma next to the cradle, the afterglow swept to Mrs. Zhixian and smiled at her. She heard, "Sister, Aunt Ma's medical skills are very good, it is better to ask her to help you take care of the eldest and youngest grandmother, and when the time comes, nothing will go wrong." ”

Mrs. Zhixian is recommending her, and wants to give her a bigger space to show?

Magu was a little moved, but she heard the general's wife say with a little hesitation: "This ...... It's not that I'm not happy, the things in this big room have always been decided by the general and the old lady, I'm afraid that if I take someone away, the old lady won't let her get close to the young grandmother. ”

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the general's wife, Magu smiled and said: "Although Magu also wants to share her worries for her wife, she is only afraid that her ability is limited. Presumably, there are many first-class midwives in the capital, so I won't join in the excitement. ”

Magu replied generously and decently, but it made the general's wife a little ashamed. Magu is the person recommended by her own sister, she must be relieved. But the unconscious old lady in the house would definitely not agree to her sending someone to take care of the Li family.

The mother of the housekeeper outside the door entered the house, and said with a smile on her face: "Two ladies, the guests have already been seated, and all the old men and ladies are urging the old slave to ask the lady to take the young master and the young lady out." ”

Mrs. Zhixian and Mrs. General took the two nurses to the main hall where the banquet was held. Magu and Hu Caiyu followed.

Today, the whole yamen is jubilant, the weather is surprisingly good, although the late autumn is cool, the sun is very warm.

When she came to the main hall, Magu obviously felt that there were multiple pairs of eyes looking at her. Curious, surprised, and with all kinds of looks.

Presumably, everyone already knows her identity.

In such an era when there is no media dissemination, the speed of transmitting information is no less than that of modern times when communication is developed.
