On February 11 of the 14th year of Taihe, the dusk of the deep winter, just after Shen, it was already twilight, the north wind was howling, blowing the branches of the trees "rustling", brushing people's faces cold and piercing, cutting flesh like pain.

The mansion of the Duke of Eguo, to the right is a large third courtyard, and the south room is an open hall, bypassing the movable screen, and it is a wide and deep laneway. There are two black lacquered wooden doors on both sides of the laneway, at the end of the laneway is a moon-shaped door, a large fourth garden in the door, and the wall of the main hall of the ancestral hall of the north house is hung with the remains of the ancestors of the Yun family.

At this moment, in the main hall of the mansion, the charcoal fire lingers, warm as spring, Mrs. Zhou clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, paced slowly in the hall, and asked the maid next to her from time to time with a bit of yin and yang weird expression: "You said that this time the second room is a boy or a girl." ”

The maid supported Mrs. Zhou and said with a flattering smile: "Many sons and many blessings, naturally he is a big fat boy." ”

A layer of gloom floated on Mrs. Zhou's face: among her three daughters-in-law, the eldest grandson Rulan gave birth to two sons, Yun Ji and Yun Yao; The third room Fu Lianyin gave birth to a son who died when he was only eight months old, and he has not been pregnant yet, and the two aunts' wives Chang Mengyao and Dai Chunni, the former gave birth to a daughter Yun Ran and died, and the latter has not moved so far; The fourth room is the youngest son Yun Tiancheng, who has not yet married, and there is no son and half a daughter, only the second room lady Yue Ziyun is the most able to give birth, and she has already given birth to a son Yun Ke and daughter Yun Yan in the front, it is not a miscarriage in the previous fetus, this is already the fourth......

Although it is a good thing to have many children and many blessings, it is a good thing for the old to have support, but this limelight cannot be completely touched by the second room, thinking that the clan elder said that the second room is too bright, and the light of the other three rooms is robbed, Mrs. Zhou's heart is full of gloom.

At the same time, outside the door of the Nanyuan House, there was a charming beauty, dressed in a red cotton jacket, combed a knotted bun, hairpinned with purple and gold five bats, and the silver beads on her earlobes were dazzling in the moonlight, she completely ignored the girls who went in and out next to her, and looked at the inner room to see through - inside was the ** milk moon Ziyun who was about to give birth, and there was a scream from Yue's screams - they gave birth to two, and they were still so pretentious?! She was disdainful, but she looked anxious and worried.

A maid stepped forward and said, "Third grandmother, it's cold, you better go back to the house to rest, there are slaves and maids to take care of it." ”

Fu Lianyin said with a smile: "Today, the second sister-in-law is in labor, and the Yun family has added another heir, no matter how cold the day is, this heart is hot, and I am here to guard my sister-in-law, which is a little light," and then said in a gloating tone, "Why, can't I give birth?" It's the third child, so it's not ......."

"How's it going, are you raw? Raw? ”

A loud and high-pitched male voice came from the other end: the second room master, also Wei Qihou Yun Tianyou, he just finished running errands in the palace, he rushed back non-stop, and at this time he had arrived in front of the delivery room, and saw a room of mothers-in-law and maids busy like ants on a hot pot, listening to the cries of his wife in the house, and he was anxious. This made Fu Lianyin on the side look at it in her eyes, envy and hatred:

Whether a man spoils a woman or not, just looking at the frequency of this woman giving birth to children is enough, what kind of fox kung fu will this Yue's family have, he actually coaxed Hou Ye to death, not only did he not accept a concubine, but also let Yue's repeatedly give birth to heirs for him!

Fu Lianyin couldn't help but look at Yun Tianyou, who looked handsome and elegant, and the jade tree was in the wind—he was like a thousand-year-old pine standing under the snow, vigorous and upright.

She sighed in her heart: Thinking that the person she really wanted to marry was Yun Tianyou, but she never wanted Yue Ziyun to take the lead, and finally had to marry Yun Tianyang, the master of the third room, as his wife, and she was unwilling to think about it.

Just as he was about to speak, someone from the back room took the lead.

"Back to the Hou Ye, this fetal head is a bit big, and it's not easy to give birth," the servant woman laughed with her hands, "But the mother-in-law said that it's no problem, it's going to be soon." ”

"That's good, that's good......" Yun Tianyou rubbed his broad palms and praised loudly, "There are rewards, there are rewards." ”

With the cry of the ** milk moon clan in the house, the midwife's call was heard, "It's born!" Raw! It's a girl, she just doesn't cry, she just laughs. ”

Yun Tianyou and Fu Lianyin were both stunned: Don't cry, just laugh? Why? Hurriedly stepped forward and walked into the house, lifting the curtain and entering.

I saw the nurse carry the washed and wrapped baby to Yun Tianyou and said with a smile: "Master Hou, this is the seventh girl, who looks like both ** milk and you." ”

Yun Tianyou hugged it cautiously - the little baby girl's hair was black and shiny, her skin was like clotted fat, her eyebrows were in her sideburns, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her small mouth was gently raised, but she was not laughing? It's amazing! I've seen newborn children crying non-stop, and it's rare not to cry, but I've never seen anyone who was born with a smile on his face.

Although Yun Tianyou was surprised in his heart, he didn't write it on his face, on the contrary, he looked like a noble girl's pampered look, rubbed the baby's little face a few times with his hand, and chuckled: "Good girl, beautiful sister, just call it 'Kexin'." ”

"Master, bring me and take a look." Yue Ziyun wrapped a hot compress around her forehead, half-leaning on the head of the bed, and stretched out her arms weakly.

"Madam, you better rest for a while and leave it to the nurse." Yun Tianyou walked to the bed with the baby in his arms and comforted him softly.

The nurse stepped forward and was about to hug the baby girl, ** The nurse smiled and pleaded: "I'll just take a look." ”

Yun Tianyou obediently put the baby girl into the crook of Yue's arm - the little baby girl stared at the gentle and delicate woman in front of her, and said with joy in her heart: Mother, mother......

"Why doesn't this kid cry and laugh?" Yue Ziyun stretched out her hand and stroked the baby girl's small forehead and immature face, muttering in her mouth, "It's strange!" ”

Thinking of the possible fate of her daughter in the future, Yue's frowned - while she was still pregnant, Erfang, under the intervention of the clan elders, had to promise to wait for the child to be a daughter after one year of birth.

The little baby girl sneezed, it was estimated that it was cold, so Yue Ziyun asked the nurse to hold the child, and at this time, Fu Lianyin stretched out her arms and said, "Come, let Auntie hug her." ”

The nurse glanced at the Hou Ye and the ** milk respectively, as if she was asking for advice, although Yue's was reluctant, she still nodded, and the third grandmother smiled and took the child in the nurse's hand, with a look of maternal love, she looked down at the baby girl in her arms, her phoenix eyes narrowed, her eyes were cold and proud-this day, she finally waited, but the good show is still to come.

"Yo, look at our seven girls," Fu Lianyin praised, and I don't know whether it was a real boast or a sarcasm, "I will definitely be a beauty billet in the future...... You see, she's smiling at me, it's not easy to be likable at such a young age. ”

The little baby girl looked back at the third grandmother's hypocritical and triumphant face, the corners of her little mouth were still upturned, and a cold light flashed in her smiling eyes: Fu Lianyin! Don't think I don't know what you have in mind, live a new life, I will let you taste the taste of being deceived, used and framed, I want to get back the suffering that my parents, brother and sister have suffered one by one in you and in your family, so that your family will be ruined, and life is better than death!

Fu Lianyin hugged for a while, and the little baby girl began to shake her head restlessly, and put her little hand in her mouth to suck, "babbling" and humming, Xu was hungry, so the nurse hugged her to feed.

Back in the hall, Fu Lianyin said hello to the old lady who sat in the first week-

"Mother, the second sister-in-law gave birth and is a daughter."

"Got it," Mrs. Zhou said slowly, revealing a little laziness and impatience in her words, "The maid in the second room has already come to report," Mrs. Zhou paused slightly, and the old treacherous and cunning pierced, "Don't worry, the second room will not live up to your waiting and 'care' this year, and you will definitely not regret what you promised." ”

Fu Lianyin's smile froze on her face, showing embarrassment: "Mother, look at what you said, how could I not believe the second room, I just came to say hello to you." ”

Say hello to me? I'm afraid it's for myself! Mrs. Zhou sneered in her heart but didn't debunk it - a year later, the daughter born in the second room will be passed on to the third room, and in the entire Eguo Mansion, acquaintances don't know that the third grandmother is separated from the ** milk noodles and people? In the future, you have to count on Fu Lianyin to restrict the second room, so you still have to save some face for her.
