Chapter 591: New Life
Zhang hugged the child that Mrs. Mi had just given birth to, and said something good in his mouth: "Look, how energetic, look at how energetic these legs and feet are!" After two days, the child will grow a little bigger, and he will be chubby and likable. I see that he was born very much like his father, and his eyebrows are like his mother, and he must be a handsome child with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes when he grows up. ”
Mi Yingzhi was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a red face: "I accept your noble words." ”
She picked up the child and put it back to her mother. Mrs. Mi lay on the bed, looking at her son's little face, her face was full of joy and peace, and her heart was indescribably satisfied.
Zhang sat down on the round stool next to the bed, looked at Mrs. Mi's face, and nodded with satisfaction: "I see that your complexion is fine, you are good at giving birth, and it is serious to take advantage of the confinement time to recuperate your body as soon as possible." If you take care of it, you may be able to get much stronger in the future. These are all secrets handed down by the elders, and you should definitely keep them in mind. In the confinement, you must not catch a cold, nor do you consume your energy, you must eat and sleep well, and you would rather be fatter than lose your blood. At present, Dr. Ye and Imperial Doctor Jiang are here, although they are not gynecological saints, they are the best at regulating the body. You must follow the recipe they prescribe, and you must not make a mistake at all. When this month passes, you will be able to rest assured for the rest of your life. ”
Mrs. Mi knew that she was teaching Jiyi, and now that her mother was not around, her sister Mrs. Tao may not know as much as her, thanks to the presence of the old lady Zhang, she knew a lot of tricks that she didn't know before, and she was very grateful in her heart, and repeatedly thanked Zhang.
Zhang waved his hand: "We are relatives. Now it has become a family of in-laws, one is prosperous, and one is lost. You're well. Whether it is a son or not, it is the blessing of Sister Ying, and hasn't it also become the blessing of our Brother Wei? You don't have to say thank you, your own family members will mention the word thank you, and it will be raw. ”
Mi Yingzhi lowered her head with a flushed face, but there was a very grateful look in her eyes.
Mrs. Mi took Zhang's hand and choked up, "You are so kind and thoughtful. It's really so that the juniors don't know what to say. Kissing your family is really the most right thing our family has done! ”
Zhang smiled and patted the back of her hand: "Okay, don't cry." Today is a day of great joy, what are you crying about? The woman's confinement is the most taboo to shed tears, so she quickly accepted it. If you want to cry. Just look down at the child. Naturally, it will laugh out loud. ”
Mrs. Mi hurriedly agreed, lowered her head to wipe away her tears, glanced at her son, and sure enough, her heart became sweet, and the corners of her mouth showed a smile.
Seeing this, Zhang sighed in a low voice: "You are now considered to have come to the end of hardship, and you will have a good life in the future." It's just that the child is still young, and Sister Ying will get married again next year, and there are still many places for you to worry about. Hurry up and take care of your body. Only then do you have the strength to raise this hard-won son and send your daughter out of the pavilion with a beautiful scenery. Maybe they will be able to add another sibling to their siblings in the future. ”
When Mrs. Mi heard this, she couldn't help blushing, and she was embarrassed, but her heart was faintly moved: she has now raised her body, and if she can give birth to a child, maybe she will be able to have a second one. It seemed too early to assert that the couple would not have any other children.
Zhang visited Mrs. Mi, but when he saw that her face was still tired, and it was inconvenient to stay in the delivery room for a long time, he took his leave. At the door of the room, she met Mrs. Tao, and Mrs. Tao was happy, but her eyes were faintly lonely.
The two sisters were originally sympathetic to each other, and they were both sad because they had no children, but now Mrs. Mi is happy with her son, and her son doesn't know where it is. Although Mrs. Mi copied a copy of the prescription for recuperating her body, she drank it for the past few days, and her body did not see any improvement, which was very different from the effect of Mrs. Mi after drinking the medicine that day. She was secretly a little anxious in her heart, but it was difficult to show it.
Zhang has been friends with her for several years, and he also knows her thoughts, so he comforted her in a low voice: "Doctor Ye hasn't left yet, why don't you ask him to diagnose your pulse and open another party?" You and your sister's body is different, maybe you can't use the same prescription? Don't worry, if your sister can have a son, you will have it too. ”
Mrs. Tao looked at her gratefully, thanked her in a low voice, and sent her out graciously.
Zhao Xiu waited in the upper room for a while, in fact, she also wanted to see the child and Mrs. Mi, but she could only take a look at the baby from a distance through the window, and was driven to the upper room by Zhang. Zhang's idea is more conservative, she always thinks that the unmarried little girl should not enter the delivery room, and she can't take the newborn baby outside to blow the wind, so Zhao Xiu wants to see the child, or wait until the day of washing. Zhao Xiu had no choice but to come to the upper room to sit still. Tao Zhuohua accompanied her to gossip a few words, the two little girls were in sympathy with each other, only Mi Yingzhi entered the delivery room to take care of her mother and younger brother regardless of it, but no one said that she did it unruly.
Tao Zhuohua whispered to Zhao Xiu: "My cousin has become very capable now, when she was in the south in the past, although she was capable, she was not so powerful. Now she is in charge of this house inside and out. She asked my mother and Mrs. Mie to take care of my aunt while she took care of the rest. Seeing her like this, I am really envious. When will I be able to become so capable? ”
Zhao Xiu also noticed that when he first came, because everyone in the Mi family was happy, there was a little chaos, but it quickly returned to normal. Nowadays, the male and female servants of the Mi family are doing their own things in an orderly manner, serving tea to those who serve tea, passing words to others, cooking wine and rice, guarding the house, and receiving guests in the gatehouse, without any chaos. Mi Yingzhi is still accompanying her mother and younger brother in the delivery room, Mrs. Tao is responsible for entertaining Zhang's, Aunt Mi went to the kitchen, and Tao Zhuohua is accompanying her. Up and down the house, there is no one who can take charge of the affairs of the front yard, and the servants are not in chaos, which shows that Mi Yingzhi is effective in teaching on weekdays.
Zhao Xiu thought in his heart that he would finally be able to get married next year. Sure enough, choosing Mi Yingzhi as his future sister-in-law was a correct decision. With such a capable and beloved wife presiding over the feed, Zhao Wei will be able to live a very comfortable life in the future, right? The Zhang family can also be an old feudal monarch with peace of mind, and she doesn't have to worry about some things anymore - sometimes it's better for her not to worry about it.
Just as he was thinking, Zhang walked in accompanied by Mrs. Tao. Zhao Xiu hurriedly got up to greet him: "Grandmother, how is my cousin?" Isn't the little cousin cute? ”
Zhang said with a smile: "The newborn child is naturally cute, and you will be able to see it when you wash the third child." Your cousin's complexion is fine, and you can get better if you raise it. When your cousin gets married next year, she will definitely make the wedding decent. She asked again, "Can Dr. Ye and Dr. Jiang go back?" There are so many people, so I don't care about it. It's hard for the two of them to be able to take the time to come here after they are busy, so why should my old woman say thank you. ”
Zhao Xiu replied: "Brother Fang Cai sent someone to say that he sent Imperial Doctor Jiang back first, and Doctor Ye was still in the study in front of him, saying that he would give his cousin and aunt a body tonic prescription for confinement." Wait for my brother to come back after sending Imperial Doctor Jiang back, and then send him away. Thanks, my brother will do it for me, grandmother don't worry, let's prepare two more generous gifts for the two of them. ”
Zhang glanced back at Mrs. Tao, who had a slight look of anticipation on her face. Zhang smiled and said: "Okay, we have been with Dr. Ye for so long on the way back to Beijing, and we can be regarded as acquaintances, since we met, we will go and say hello soon." There's no other guest in front of you, right? I will take your Aunt Tao over to greet her, and by the way, I will ask Dr. Ye to give your Aunt Tao a pulse. ”
Zhao Xiu immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Shall I accompany my grandmother?" Zhang shook his head, this is to diagnose women's disease, and the little girl's family is better to avoid it.
Zhang took Mrs. Tao to the front yard, and Tao Zhuohua sent them all the way to the door, with a hint of anticipation on his face. Zhao Xiu asked her in a low voice: "Are you also looking forward to adding a younger brother?" ”
Tao Zhuohua pursed his lips: "If you can have a younger brother, of course it would be the best." My grandmother had been talking about her grandson for several years, and if it hadn't been for my father's refusal, she would have had two or three concubines in her room. For this reason, every Chinese New Year, my father and mother try to avoid going back to their hometown, for fear of being urged by my grandmother again. My mother never had a good reputation in the clan for this, and even my father gossiped about it. And all this is just because I'm not a son. ”
Zhao Xiu sighed secretly in his heart, and patted her hand comfortingly: "Doctor Ye's medical skills are excellent, and the prescription he prescribed to his cousin and aunt is very effective, I believe that your mother will take the medicine he prescribes, and her body will also recuperate." ”
Tao Zhuohua smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't have to have a younger brother, my father also said that my mother's health is important." If he is destined to have no children, it is useless to force it. But it would be great if Dr. Ye could help her mother adjust her body, make her body stronger, be less sick in the autumn and winter, and stop making old taboos. ”
Zhao Xiu put his arm around her shoulders, comforted her softly, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the courtyard outside, Aunt Mi hurriedly walked under the verandah, walked out of the second gate with a solemn face, talked to a mother-in-law on the second door, and took a letter from the mother-in-law's hand. She turned her head to look around, and saw that Zhao Xiu was looking at her, so she quickly stuffed the letter into her sleeve, smiled unnaturally, and lowered her head and went back to the kitchen.
Zhao Xiu wondered in her heart, what's wrong with her?
The mother-in-law on the second door seems to be the errand man in the gatehouse, who was sent by Zhao Xiu from the Jiannan Hou Mansion, what kind of letter did she hand to Aunt Mi?
Originally, Zhao Xiu would not pay too much attention to this kind of matter related to other people's privacy. But Uncle Mi's interpersonal relationship is simple, except for the Mi and Zhao families in the capital, there are no other acquaintances, at most, the son occasionally writes back from Wanping. But Zhao Wei just sent someone to Wanping to pick up Mi Xiuming, so the letter couldn't have been written by Mi Xiuming, who was about to come back, right? Even if he wrote it, there is no need for Aunt Mi to hide it like this, just read the letter openly.
Then the rest of the people who may write a letter to Uncle Mi are one of Midu's families in his hometown in Guangdezhou. Did they have some kind of moths? But the servants of the Hou Mansion who were sent to Guangdezhou did not have any relevant news reported, so nothing major should have happened. If it's just a normal family letter, what is Aunt Mi doing hiding like this? The Zhao family and the Mi family have never restricted her from communicating with her family.
Zhao Xiu frowned slightly, she glanced at Liu Lu who was standing at the door of the upper room, and glanced in the direction of Aunt Mi. Liu Lu immediately understood, curtsied, and bowed his head. (To be continued......)
