Chapter 246: Life (1)
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I thought it would be hot for half a month, but I didn't want to have autumn rains one after another, and the weather suddenly became cooler.
The maids took advantage of the sunny weather to hurriedly dry their summer clothes and put them away, and then took out the autumn clothes in the cage.
Tu took over the middle feed and took care of it with the Liu family and Chu Lunxin, although the big Zhao family was gone, the daily life in Changfu slowly became no different from before.
Liu sighed with emotion.
Tu Shi shook his head at her: "In this family, no one is indispensable, all the same." ”
Liu smiled and did not answer.
Xu is the weather is refreshing, the ancestors are in good spirits, and they are amusing with Brother Lin.
Chu Lunxin walked in quickly from outside, and she was a little surprised to see that Chu Weilin was also there.
"What's the matter? So anxious? The old ancestor glanced at Chu Lunxin, pinched Brother Lin'er's little hand and laughed.
Chu Lunxin lowered her eyes, only Mama Duan was waiting in the room, Chu Weilin was her niece again, and there was nothing that she couldn't open, she took a few steps forward and whispered to the old ancestor: "Old ancestor, it's Aunt Zhou's matter, I heard people talk about it, saying that Aunt Zhou's body is not very good these days, you know hers, she has a stable temperament, even if she is uncomfortable, she won't say it, so I asked someone to ask Cui Zhu." Cuizhu said that Aunt Zhou's Kwai Shui hadn't come for a few days, but she refused to ask for a doctor. ”
Chu Weilin was stunned, this means that Hongjian is pregnant?
The old ancestor's brows tightened, and he commanded Chu Lunxin in a deep voice: "Go and call the red note, don't show your mouth." ”
Chu Lunxin hurriedly went, and Chu Weilin glanced at the old ancestor's expression. She was afraid that she would be very unhappy about this.
The ancestors wanted incense to prosper, but now is not the time. Da Zhao's new death, as a husband, Chang Henghan has a filial piety period according to the rules. But in fact, many people in the world do not follow, and most of them are men who marry and fill the house in the filial piety period.
But Chang Henghan's situation at the moment is special, he resigned from his illness at home, his wife died less than three months ago, and if the concubine was pregnant and spread out, he would always ask people to point fingers.
The ancestors didn't want to provoke what was wrong at this moment.
Chu Weilin wanted to get up and avoid it, but the old ancestor still hugged Brother Lin. It was also inconvenient for her to retire, so she simply sat cheekily and waited for the ancestor to issue an "eviction order".
Chu Lunxin came in with a red note.
It had been a long time since the red note had entered the ancestor's house, and she stepped forward and asked for peace.
Chu Weilin looked at the red note, she was still wearing half-old clothes, her jewelry head and face were also very plain, her complexion was worse than that of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she applied a lot of rouge to add some blood. But the red color floated on Liao Bai's skin, and it became more and more lifeless.
A sickly look.
Chu Weilin saw it, and the old ancestor naturally saw it clearly, and she motioned for the red note to sit down. Straight to the point, he asked, "I heard, you're late?" ”
Hongjian's body shook and lowered his head. Biting his lower lip, he nodded stiffly.
"Why don't you let people report it?" The old ancestor asked again.
The red note trembled and said, "Slave thinks." Xu didn't have a good rest when he was for his wife some time ago. It makes the Kwai water inaccurate, maybe it will be fine after a while......"
The old ancestor did not agree, and called Cen Niangzi again.
The red note stretched out her hand stubbornly, and as soon as Cen Niangzi touched it, she understood, and nodded at the old ancestor.
The old ancestor let out a long sigh: "It's a pity, it's not the right time. ”
The red note's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"When did it happen? Didn't drink the dodge-ko soup? The ancestor asked.
The red note held back her tears and said: "The things in July, the mothers brought it, after the slave drank it, he was a little uncomfortable, and he vomited it in an hour, and the slave was afraid of causing trouble to the mothers, so he didn't say ......."
Hearing this, the old ancestor shook his head again and again: "How can you be afraid of trouble with such a thing?" ”
Seeing that the head of the red note was almost buried in the chest, the ancestor was helpless, the red note had been with her for more than ten years, the ancestor knew the character of the red note best, and the aunts in the long room were yin and yang, and it was common for the red note not to dare to speak.
"What are you saying about you?" The old ancestor called the red note to him and said mournfully, "If it had been any other time, I would have rejoiced, but now...... Don't blame the old woman for being ruthless, you remember to take care of your body. ”
The red note's eyes suddenly tightened, the tears couldn't hold back, and they fell down in a row, she didn't dare to cry, so she could only grit her teeth and nod silently.
The red note asked Mama Duan to help her out, and Mrs. Cen looked at the back of the red note, thoughtful.
The old ancestor saw it in his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Cen Niangzi smiled awkwardly and said, "Auntie, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, her belly is not only two months smaller, but almost three months." ”
As soon as the words came out, Cen Niangzi knew that she had suffered.
She went in and out of the back house, knowing that there were some rules that must be followed when walking around here, one was tight-mouthed, and the other was that she should not know and never asked.
There is another one, that is, in the current situation, there are some things that are good in the heart, and they should never be said.
Although it is true that many people will make a mistake about the month, Aunt Cen can see that Hongjian is not such a sloppy person, she has also asked Hongjian for pulse in the past, and knows that her Kwai Shui has always been very accurate, and a month's mistake is impossible at all.
No matter how many twists and turns there were, it was definitely not something she should know.
Cen Niangzi's eyes rolled, and she wanted to round the words back: "It's not right, my aunt is not in good health, and her pulse is a little weak, I'm afraid I made a mistake." ”
The old ancestor pursed his lips and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Yes, her face is not good, and she will have to spend some time recuperating in the future." ”
Cen Niangzi was sweating and confused about the topic like mud.
Chu Weilin and Chu Lunxin exchanged a look, and they also felt very strange in their hearts.
Coming out of Songling Courtyard, Chu Lunxin held Chu Weilin's hand until he entered Yiyuxuan and let Brother Parrot guard outside, and the two exchanged in a low voice.
"I don't think it's right, the red note is not a fool." Chu Weilin said.
Chu Lunxin also nodded: "But to say that she is a person with the courage to come here doesn't seem to be like it." But it can be said that it is in July...... Is it because it was too close to Zhao's death that she couldn't say it? ”
Chu Weilin and Chu Lunxin have not yet discussed a result. But there is a pot in the long room.
Obviously, when it was in private, the ancestor didn't want this matter to make a big fuss. I don't know which one broke the mouth, but I actually said it.
Xiang Yun listened in her ears. As if he was on fire, he stood in the courtyard and scolded Huai.
The red note closed the doors and windows tightly, and when she didn't hear the movement of outsiders, Cuizhu couldn't help but want to argue, so the red note dragged on.
It's not that she can't hear it, the doors and windows can't block the sound outside, and every word of Xiang Yun cuts her heart like a knife. Xiangyun said that it is rare for the red note to be close to Chang Henghan's body, so it is all there. It's really funny, and said that the shunzi soup, isn't it a red note stuffed with silver for the mothers, otherwise why would she drink it all and vomit it clean? But what's the use of this, it's just to suffer sin.
The red note hugged Cuizhu tightly, biting her lip and not daring to cry.
She knew that she was suffering from sin, that she had chosen this path by herself, and that she couldn't blame anyone at all.
When the people below bring the abortion pill, they should be able to get rid of it......
Red Note has been crying for a long time. Cuizhu helped her to bed and fell asleep for a while.
Half-asleep, half-awake, it seemed to hear the voice.
"Auntie hasn't woken up yet, Mom, you can stay with this potion. The slave and maid waited for the grandmother to drink for a while. ”
"It's important, you little girl who hasn't done anything can't tell the weight, I'm here to watch. If something bad happens, call someone over quickly. ”
Cui Zhu seems to understand but not understand. Said: "Really exquisite? ”
"Not really! If you're not careful, it's going to kill you! But my aunt is shallow. Slightly better, it falls to the size of a lychee. ”
The red note suddenly came to his senses.
Lychee size......
Before she could figure it out, she heard Cuizhu's voice again.
"Then it's hard for mother, mother sit for a while, and the slave maid will go to see my aunt."
Cuizhu crept in, and the red note pretended to have just woken up, and made a silent gesture, motioned for Cuizhu to come to her, and asked her in her ear, "Who is here?" ”
Cui Zhu also replied in her ear: "Mother Shen in the big kitchen." ”
Red Note frowned and asked again, "What did she tell you?" ”
Cuizhu said with a complaining face: "She asked the slave maid how late was my aunt's Kwai Shui." She still cares about this in a kitchen? The slave didn't tell her. ”
Red Note breathed a sigh of relief and clenched Cuizhu's hand: "I don't remember either, when was it?" ”
Cuizhu was stunned, the eyes of the red note looking at her were gloomy, and she was so panicked that her back was cold, she squeezed out a smile, and said, "After coming in July, I haven't come......"
Only then did the red note bend the corners of her lips, and Chong Cuizhu nodded: "Go out, bring the medicine in later." ”
Cuizhu nodded hurriedly, and walked to the outside room in a trance, and when she saw Shen's mother staring at her, she smiled wryly: "Auntie is sleeping in a daze, mother should sit for a while." ”
After waiting for a long time, Shen's mother smelled a smell of blood.
She was on an errand in the kitchen, her nose was very smart, and the smell of blood was getting stronger a little bit, she unconsciously glanced in the direction of the inner room, a thought crossed her mind, she stood up suddenly, and rushed to the inner room quickly.
Cuizhu wanted to stop her, but she was a little maid who didn't have the strength of Shen's mother at all, so she was taken into the inner room together.
The smell of blood hit her face, and Cuizhu turned her head stupidly, looking at the blood-stained bed.
She forgot to scream......
The red note, which was obviously fine just now, was still lying there, but there was an extra blood hole in her chest, and she had a pair of scissors in her hand, as if she had inserted it into her heart and pulled it out hard, the blood column splashed open, and the bedding was miserable.
Cuizhu's feet were soft, and the whole person fell to the ground, silent for a long time before she shed tears.
Shen's mother was also stunned.
Inserted the scissors in and pulled them out, her scalp tingled just thinking about it, and the red note didn't make the slightest sound, in the eyes of Shen's mother, the red note was not such a powerful person at all.
Mother Shen dragged her steps to the side of the bed, stretched out her hand and touched the snort of the red note, and there was no breath at all.
She sat down on the ground, and then crawled back to Cuizhu with her hands and feet, grabbed her hands, and said, "Go, quietly go to Songling Courtyard to report." ”
Cuizhu blushed her face, not daring to look at the red note again, she stood up tremblingly, and rushed out quickly.
In the Songling Courtyard, the old ancestor was talking to Mama Duan.
Cuizhu was brought into the house by Ge's mother, and the ancestor couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw her.
Cuizhu's eyes were red and swollen, and she said, "Ancestor, the slave maid is serving Aunt Zhou, and Aunt Zhou is gone." ”
The tea cup in the ancestor's hand shook slightly.
Cuizhu knew that she was not clear, but she was so panicked that she raised her hand and slapped her face, and the pain made her calm down a little: "The medicine was sent from the kitchen, the aunt fell asleep, and the slave waited outside with Shen's mother, Shen's mother smelled the smell of blood and rushed in to take a look, and the aunt committed suicide with scissors." ”
The Old Ancestor gasped.
The red note that had been sitting next to her not long ago had killed himself......
Losing a fetus, is it really such an unacceptable thing for a red note?
The old ancestor suddenly thought of Cen Niangzi's words, she put down the tea cup, motioned for Cuizhu to step forward, and when Cuizhu knelt at her feet, the old ancestor pinched Cuizhu's jaw, forced Cuizhu to look up at her, and said coldly: "How late is the kui water on the red note?" ”
Cuizhu was in pain, and her whole body trembled into a sieve because of fright, and she stammered: "In July, I haven't been here since I came in July......"
The old ancestor snorted, Cuizhu's panic had already told her the answer, and she said, "Wrong, right? You haven't been here since June, have you? ”
Cuizhu's eyes widened.
Mother Ge stepped forward and dragged Cuizhu out, and the old ancestor whispered a few words to Mama Duan, and Mama Duan nodded again and again.
Mama Duan went out of Songling Courtyard, first asked someone to invite Chang Henghan, and went to the red paper house by herself.
Mother Shen was still there, the smell of blood made her head hurt, she couldn't help scolding Cuizhu in her heart, and when someone knocked on the door outside, she jumped up and took a look, and when she saw that it was Mama Duan coming, she hurriedly opened the door.
Mama Duan came in, smelling blood and feeling uncomfortable, she walked to the side of the bed and took a look, and said, "Auntie is weak, and she can't bear the medicine, so it's really pitiful." ”
Mother Shen glanced at the medicine bowl on the table, it was full, but she understood what Mama Duan meant, and nodded again and again: "Yes, the slave and maid don't have time to ask the doctor to stabilize the mother." ”
After speaking, Shen's mother picked up the medicine bowl and poured it all into the gong bucket.
Mama Duan called the two mothers-in-law to come, took the clean bedding and wrapped it in red paper and carried it out, no one in the yard dared to come and see, only Xiangyun was bold, hiding behind the door and poking her head to look twice.
Chang Henghan arrived at Songling Courtyard.
The old ancestor motioned for him to sit down and told him about the red note: "It is said that it is in July." ”
Chang Henghan cleared his throat embarrassedly: "I ate too much wine that day...... Confused ......"
The old ancestor snorted coldly, slapped the table and said, "I said it last time, right?" At this time, everyone should not be confused, you are good! ”
At such times, Chang Henghan could only bow his head and listen to the training.
The old ancestor sighed, and asked again with a straight face: "Except for the time in July, have you ever touched her?" ”
Chang Hengmiao raised his head, looked at the old ancestor in confusion, and said curiously: "Mother, what do you mean by this?" (To be continued......)
