Zhao Xiu and Zhang were waiting in the front hall, and when Imperial Doctor Jiang came, he only hurriedly said hello and went to the back, and Zhao Wei also followed, and he didn't turn around for a while. Zhao Xiu was worried about Mrs. Mi's condition, and looked at the back hall, but he didn't listen to any movement, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She wanted to go to the back hall to see the situation, but Zhang grabbed her: "Don't be rude." Doctor Jiang is very skilled, and there will be a result soon, so I'll ask him when he comes out. Zhao Xiu had to press it down.

After another quarter of an hour, Imperial Physician Jiang came out of the back hall, Zhao Wei and Mi Province sent each other all the way, with joy on their faces, Mi Shengzhi kept asking Imperial Doctor Jiang what to do, and asked Imperial Doctor Jiang with a helpless face: "Mi Zhifu, you have already asked this twice, didn't you hear it clearly?" Mi Shengzhi just giggled.

Zhang looked over with concern, and Zhao Xiu also walked to the front of the hall and asked, "Uncle, brother, Imperial Doctor Jiang, I don't know what is the condition of my aunt?" What are the symptoms? Does it matter? ”

Zhao Wei smiled at her and waved his hand: "It's okay." Imperial Physician Jiang also said happily: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, this is a happy event." He saluted Zhang again, and then took his leave.

Zhao Xiu is still depressed, Mrs. Mi is sick, how can it be a happy event? Looking back at Zhang, Zhang seemed to have guessed something, and he also showed a look of surprise, and asked Mi Shengzhi: "Is it difficult...... Mrs. In-laws, this is ......"

Mi Xingzhi replied a little embarrassed: "Imperial Doctor Jiang said that it should be a happy pulse, but the month is still shallow, and he will come to see the pulse again in a few days, and it will be determined at that time." But eight out of ten, nine out of ten are happy pulses. Let the lady have a good life. ”

Seeing that the result was as he expected, Zhang was also very happy: "That's really good!" If the in-laws can get a man in one fell swoop this time, wouldn't there be no need to worry about the past? ”

Mi Xingzhi smiled happily: "If it is really as the old lady of the in-laws said." Naturally, it couldn't be better. But even if the lady has another little daughter, it is a happy event. My husband and I have been married for many years, and we only have one daughter, and we are about to get married. If you can add more flesh and bones, whether it is a man or a woman, it is enough to bear the joy. ”

Zhao Xiu happily congratulated him and said, "My aunt has always been frail. Presumably, in the past year or so, after taking the tonic medicine prescribed by Dr. Ye, my body has gradually become stronger. But my aunt can't take it lightly. Next, you definitely need to replenish your body more. My uncle and aunt are guests in the capital, and if they have anything they need, just ask. The steward of our family is quite capable, and there are people from the tribe who run the North and South Goods Stores in the city. It's much easier to buy things than it is for you to come out at home. Uncle, don't go out of sight with our family. ”

Mi Shengzhi actually wants to say that he can handle it himself. But thinking of what his niece said is also right, his family is not familiar with the place in the capital, where is it more convenient than the people of the Hou Mansion? It's about his wife's body, he doesn't need to be too stubborn, just think that Zhao Wei, the future son-in-law, is filial to his mother-in-law, so he smiled and agreed.

Zhang wanted to go to the back hall to visit Mrs. Mi, and congratulated her, but Zhao Wei persuaded her: "Mother-in-law only knows that it is Ximai." I was very happy for a while, but I was a little uncomfortable. Imperial Doctor Jiang advised her to try to calm down as much as possible. In the past two or three months, I will have to walk around less, and I will definitely have stopped by this time. When my grandmother passed, my mother-in-law had to stand up to greet her, which was against my grandmother's original intention. It's the same if you come back another day. Mi Shengzhi was a little embarrassed, but he had the same idea in his heart, but it was hard to say.

Hearing this, Zhang quickly dispelled her mind, she understood the worries of the Mi family, Mrs. Mi was not in good health, she only fainted once today, and she was old again, in case she tossed badly and had a fetal gas, the consequences would be big or small. She had already seen Mrs. Mi once, and since the other party had already rested, she didn't have to look at it again.

However, she was worried that the Mi family lived in the capital, and the people waiting around her were not enough, the old man of Mi Province did not know how to take care of pregnant women, and Mi Yingzhi was a little girl who had not yet come out of the cabinet.

Mi Xingzhi hesitated for a moment, but also agreed. His family of three went to Beijing this time, and there were only four big and small maids, two mothers-in-law and a cook around his wife and daughter, and then he had to prepare his daughter's dowry, which was definitely not enough. Su Rili's wife's most relied on one of the grandmothers stayed in Hangzhou and never followed. When his wife was born a daughter, she was waiting for this grandmother. Since she was not there, she naturally had to find another one or two capable servants to take care of her daily life. Jiannanhou Mansion is not only an in-law, but the servants of his family are more reliable than those outside.

However, there is only one entry into the small courtyard, even if the place is big, after adding people, it is a little crowded to live.

Zhao Xiu immediately discovered this and said, "Why don't you move to our house?" Our house is big, we have a lot of houses, it's close, and it's easier than ever for us to help. ”

Mi Xingzhi smiled: "I have my own opinions on this matter, so my niece doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Zhao Xiu knew that he was still a bit of a scholar, he could accept the Zhao family to lend the house and servants, send tonics, or take his wife and daughter to the Hou Mansion to live for two or three days, but if it was a long-term borrowing, he would be suspected of being a sensitor, and he was not without money, how could he agree? Besides, if you live alone in a house and want a soup, you can make your own decisions. Living in someone else's home, no matter how good the treatment is, you can only be a guest, which is somewhat awkward.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a suitable house on hand now, so if she wants to find it again, she can only rent or buy it, but there are two good yards in the back street of Houfu, but it is a place where people lived in the past. Zhao Xiu thought about it and decided to send someone to find a larger house near his house, or rent or buy. When the matter is done, he directly told Mi Xingzhi that he would cut first and then play, and he would not refuse. The uncle and aunt live more comfortably, and it is more convenient for the two families to travel on weekdays.

With that up to her mind, she didn't say much. The current situation of the Mi family is not suitable for continuing to entertain guests, and her grandparents and grandchildren should also leave. Zhao Wei left two family members who were familiar with the affairs of the capital to help Mi Xingzhi run errands, and together with his sister, he helped his grandmother out of the house and got into the car and returned to the Hou Mansion.

After they left, Mi Xingzhi returned to the back hall. When Mrs. Mi saw her husband coming in, she propped up her body and wanted to speak, but she panicked and hurriedly stopped her: "Madame, don't get up, you and I husband and wife, don't pay attention to these false courtesies." Mrs. Mi smiled shyly and lay back down.

Mi Xingzhi sat on the side of the kang and asked her if she was better, was she uncomfortable, thirsty or not? Hungry or not? Cold or not? Then, without waiting for Mrs. Mi to reply, she ordered the girls to pour hot tea, fetch snacks, and add charcoal to the hand stove, and told the windows to be closed tightly, lest the wife blow a cold wind.

Mi Yingzhi was dumbfounded, she didn't expect her father to have such a mother-in-law, she couldn't help but freeze there.

Mrs. Mi's heart was sweet, and when she saw her daughter standing there, her face suddenly turned red, she coughed lightly, and glanced at her husband: "Master, my daughter is still in the house, what did you say?" ”

Mi Xingzhi seemed to have only seen his daughter now, and he couldn't help blushing, cleared his throat, stroked his beard with a solemn face, and instructed his daughter: "The Hou Mansion has left two clever family members to help run errands, you quickly order someone to send Imperial Doctor Jiang's prescription to them to live, so that they can quickly grab the medicine and come back, so that they can eat it with your mother." ”

Mi Yingzhi hurriedly responded, took the prescription and went out.

Mi Xingzhi sent the girls out, and then asked his wife with a smile: "Now Mrs. is relieved, right?" ”

Mrs. Mi took a sip of him, and her heart became sweeter. The husband and wife sat one and lay down, holding hands and saying a few private words, and Mrs. Mi raised a concern: "The concubine is pregnant, and I don't know when I can sit and lie down as usual. Moreover, although the in-laws have never said it explicitly, listening to the old lady's mouth, it seems that they plan to let Sister Ying and Hou Ye get married within the year. This is about to hit the day of the concubine's childbirth, how can this be good? ”

Mi Xingzhi thought for a while: "It's okay, the old lady of the in-laws family is the most polite." When she first thought about it, she didn't know that her wife was pregnant, but now she is willing to make a change. Postpone the wedding date to next year, and when Sister Ying'er's younger siblings are 100 days old, she will come out of the cabinet again, and it will be appropriate. ”

Mrs. Mi is not as optimistic as him: "Sister Xiu'er has already been pointed out to the prince of Guangping, and I heard that she will be married next year at the latest." Sister Ying got married, how could it take a few months to take over the feed, and she had to help prepare for her sister-in-law's marriage. Is this time in time? If it was for the convenience of our family and let the in-laws back down, they might not say anything, but if there is resentment in their hearts, it will not be good for Sister Yu Ying in the future. ”

Mi Shengzhi: "I understand that Mrs. wants to accommodate the arrangements of her in-laws as much as possible, but you are pregnant, how can you prepare a dowry for your daughter?" Even if you send a letter back to Guangdezhou and invite one or two sisters-in-law to come to help, it is rare for a lady to come forward for such a major event as a daughter's marriage. After giving birth, there is confinement again. Madame is not in good health, this month can not be neglected, if the root of the disease is left, it is a major event in a lifetime. In this case, it is better to postpone the wedding later. Sister Ying is originally smart, and she also helps you cook at home, and the affairs of the Hou Mansion must be able to cope with it. No matter how bad it is, if there is an old lady of the in-laws, even if there is no niece, what does it matter? ”

Mrs. Mi knew that Zhang's was a hands-off shopkeeper at home, but she was afraid that she might not be reliable, so she was still worried.

Mi Yingzhi ordered someone to grab the medicine, and when she turned around, she saw that her parents seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, so she asked what was wrong.

Mrs. Mi didn't want to talk about the marriage period directly, so she only said: "Your father is worried that I don't have an elder around me who has been the governor for many years to take care of him, and after the first month, he will enter the court to report on his work, and there is no one to manage his social contacts, so he is worried." ”

Mi Yingzhi thought for a while and said, "If it is an official deal, courtesy, and exchange, my daughter also helped her mother cook when she was in Hangzhou, you can try your hand at it." If there is anything you don't know, your mother can also give you advice. But there is no female dependant of the governor around the mother to take care of her, which is indeed inconvenient. The daughter wants to ask her father and mother, but she doesn't know the uncle who came today...... What is his aunt's temperament? ”

Mi Xingzhi and Mrs. Mi raised their heads in surprise. (To be continued......)
