Yulan has the best relationship with Mrs. Five, she is now more than seven months pregnant, and she will give birth in a while, so she is naturally very sensitive to giving birth.

Xiaoyue listened to her instructions and immediately turned around and went to the Yang Mansion on Qipan Street to inquire about the news.

Yulan was restless in the room, Mother Qian came in with a teacup, gently put it on the pear blossom wood table against the north wall in the inner room, and persuaded: "The fifth wife Jiren has her own natural appearance, and this is the third child, the princess don't worry, she will definitely be able to give birth to the little young master smoothly." ”

Yulan thinks about it, the most difficult thing for a woman to have a child is the first child, and since the fifth wife can give birth to the first two smoothly, there must be no problem with the third child. Thinking about it this way, I was finally relieved.

Xiaoyue returned to the Yang Mansion to inquire about the news, and the Yang family was in a mess now, not only with Chunxuan, but also with the old lady and the old lady. When Xiaoyue arrived, the second and fourth wives were guarding the outside of the delivery room of Hechunxuan, and the maids and women in the courtyard were running around, and the little maids in each room were running back and forth to inquire about the news.

The weather was hot, the little maid brought the Taishi chair for the second and fourth wives to sit on, the girls held umbrellas, and the eldest grandmother stood behind the second wife and fanned her. Xiaoyue could faintly hear the painful voice of the fifth lady in the room, it was the first time she had experienced this kind of thing, and she was very nervous.

Seeing that the second wife and the fourth wife were all calm and relaxed, they couldn't help but relax a little.

The second wife saw Xiaoyue at a glance, and said to the fourth wife with a smile: "I just know that this girl has gone back to report the news, and she has to come back again!" As expected. ”

The fourth lady sat in the chair, and there was not much joy on her face. When she followed the fourth master out, the fifth master had not yet married, and after returning home this time, the fifth wife was already in labor, staying in the house to raise the fetus, and did not come out, so she didn't see much, and the fifth wife can be said to have no friendship at all.

What does it have to do with her that she can't give birth to a child?

So when the second wife talked like this, she just smiled and didn't answer.

The second wife has been a concubine with her for several years, and she knows that her temperament is selfish and stingy. The fourth wife was born as a concubine, generally speaking, concubines are not allowed to be on the stage, and concubines who are as generous as Yulan and have a temperament that is not weaker than that of their concubines are really rare. Anyway, as long as the fourth wife doesn't come to provoke her, the second wife doesn't bother to bother with her.

beckoned Xiaoyue over: "But your princess asked you to inquire about the news?" ”

Xiaoyue respectfully saluted the second and fourth wives, and saw the eldest grandmother again. She is the eldest girl next to the princess, and the second wife is polite to her. Xiaoyue asked, "How is the fifth wife?" ”

The second wife smiled: "It's only been an hour since I went in." It will take two or three hours at the earliest, and it is not uncommon for it to be born tomorrow morning. ”

As he was talking, the fifth master came over with a few small men in stride. "Second sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, how's it going?" The fifth master was originally in the yamen, and when he got the news, he rushed over. In a hurry, he was drenched in sweat, and he didn't care about washing, so he asked about the situation of Mrs. Fifth first when he came in.

When the second wife saw it, she smiled: "My brother and sister have just been in for an hour, so it's early!" It's okay to have us here, the fifth uncle is a man, this kind of thing can't help, you better go to the front yard, someone will report it to you if there is news. So as not to make the maid and woman nervous here! ”

The fifth master's face turned red, and he shook his head at the second and fourth wives: "The inner man will all be entrusted to the two sisters-in-law!" In the end, when he heard the voice of the fifth lady coming from inside, he was not sure, and he walked forward slowly, walked a few steps and came back.

The second wife laughed when she saw him. "What else does the fifth uncle command?"

The fifth master touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "If it's convenient, why don't I go to the study in the courtyard and wait?" "The east wing of Hechunxuan was arranged as the study of the fifth master. Just now, the second wife asked him to go to the study in the front yard, and the fifth master was waiting here to be close to the fifth wife, and he could feel a little more at ease.

The second wife said: "This is what the fifth uncle looks like, the fifth uncle can wait wherever he wants, as long as he doesn't delay the business." ”

The fifth master hurriedly said: "I listen to my sisters-in-law, and I will never dare to interfere indiscriminately!" After that, he took the little maid into the main room to freshen up and change clothes, and then went to the study in the east wing to write.

The fourth lady kept watching from the sidelines and did not speak. The second wife saw the fifth master enter the study and sighed slightly. She has been strong everywhere in her life, and she has to compare everything with others, but she doesn't dare to compare with Mrs. Fifth in this regard. The relationship between her and the fifth master is really envious of others.

Between the second master and the second wife, the relationship is also good. However, they are as good as each other, how can they compare to the fifth master and the fifth wife, Qin Se and Ming Phoenix Yu Fei, not to mention that the fifth wife's room is a concubine, or there is not even a girl in the room.

She has seen so many people, probably only Mrs. Fifth and Yulan have this kind of luck to be such a good man.

They are blessed people. Envy can't come from envy!

The fifth wife gave birth very smoothly, and after entering the delivery room, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy in just two hours. It's just that the fifth old man is very happy, and even the old lady and the old lady are very happy. The old lady took out her own silver and rewarded the midwife, and came to see her little grandson tremblingly on crutches.

The old lady also came from Songfeng Study, hugged her little grandson in person, and named him "Liang". The people of the house all have a reward for silver, and everyone up and down is happy.

As soon as Xiaoyue returned to the palace and said to Yulan eloquently, a big stone fell to the ground in Yulan's heart. The fifth wife gave birth to another son, and she is more than two years old and has become a brother, so the pain of losing her son should be completely healed. I can also be a person with my head up and my chest held high between the concubines.

She is different from others, the fifth master has no concubines around her, if she can't have a son herself, others will only poke her backbone and say that she is not virtuous and jealous, and now she has two sons under her knees, and she can stop these rumors.

Two days later, Brother Liang's baptism, the eldest lady was bedridden and couldn't be a director, so the old lady asked the second wife to help Zhang Luo. Yulan wanted to go over and take a look at Mrs. Five, but was stopped by Ye Yichen.

Yulan had already prepared a gift for her little brother. It is a piece of red gold longevity lock, which is more than a dozen taels, Yulan personally drew the pattern, and found the most famous silver building in Beijing to build, because this year is the Year of the Rat, Yulan deliberately drew a Q version of the mouse pattern. Therefore, although the red gold longevity lock is ordinary among everyone's gifts, it is different because of the novel pattern.

On the day when Brother Liang washed the third day, Mother Qian went over instead of Yulan, looked at Brother Liang and then at Mrs. Five, and said to Yulan when he came back: "Brother is very good-looking, very strong, and everyone says that he is heavy-handed." Not afraid of life at all, the two eyes are spinning, black and bright. He didn't cry when he saw someone, everyone laughed at him, the old lady liked it so much, and even her body seemed to be much better when she got this grandson. ”

"Mrs. Fifth liked the longevity lock you gave me very much. Tell the old woman to bring you a message, tell you to have a good life, don't worry about anything, and come to see you when she is out of confinement! ”

As a result, without waiting for the fifth wife to come out of confinement, she sent two stable women over first. said that these two stable women delivered Brother Cheng and Brother Liang for her, and they are very experienced. But the fifth wife was worried about Yulan, and when she heard that she was not very pregnant, she was afraid that she would give birth prematurely, so she sent Wen Po over in advance.

Yulan happily accepted the person, asked the eldest grandmother to clean up the empty room in the front yard, let the two stable women live in first, and specially dialed the little maid to wait. After Ye Yichen came back, Zhilu didn't say anything about it, and after a few days, he also asked someone to bring two stable women in.

Yulan said to him: "The fifth aunt sent Wen Po over, why did you find two more Wen Po?" ”

Ye Yichen said with a smile: "Wen Po is not afraid of much, and it is not that she can't afford to give money, since she is here, just let them all stay." "In the end, I can't trust the fifth wife, I have to ask in person to rest assured. The two stable women he was looking for were found in many ways, and he sent Manager Ma to conduct a detailed investigation of their resumes, and Ye Yichen was naturally more convinced of the people he had found. turned his head and instructed Zhang Li's two mothers that if the princess gave birth one day, they should mainly use the two stable mothers they found.

A few days later, a subordinate of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies recommended a medical woman to come over, who was a Tibetan doctor. I made some Tibetan medicine for Yulan to eat. Yulan's body has always been bad, and Ye Yichen has not been worried for a day. I went back and forth to see a lot of doctors, and I don't know how much I used home remedies, but they didn't have much effect.

This time, I was also with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to really work. Yulan used the medicine of Tibetan medicine, which was actually very effective, and his face looked rosy day by day, and his body gradually gained some strength. Ye Yichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These days, he has been worried about Yulan's body, he asked Imperial Doctor Gong, if Yulan gives birth like this, the risk factor is very high, not to mention nine deaths and one life.

He was anxious and didn't dare to tell Yulan, his colleagues, who were busy with official business all day long, stared at her to make up for herself, and now he finally had a little turnaround, he was really overjoyed. For a while, I was looking forward to Yulan's production later, taking advantage of this time to make up for my body and accumulate more strength.

By the time the fifth wife came out of confinement to see Yulan, it was already mid-July, the hottest time of the year. The fifth wife couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Yulan's appearance, "My complexion is much better than when I saw you last time, and I am relieved!" "The fifth wife is much plumper than before she was pregnant, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of the joy and satisfaction of being a mother. As soon as I saw her appearance, I knew that the confinement was very well raised.

The last time I saw Yulan was the time when the fourth master came back, Yulan had a big belly, thin like a handful of dry firewood, this time, although her belly was bigger, she had a few taels of meat on her body.

The fifth wife was able to come to see her, Yulan was very happy, so she asked with a smile, "How is Brother Liang now?" ”

Speaking of her son, Mrs. Fifth was so happy that her face lit up. "This kid is better than Brother Cheng. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat, where is unsatisfactory, crying loudly. It's a worry-free child, when it's too big, I'll take it over to my aunt and grandmother! ”

Yulan smiled and nodded. "I'm a sister, I haven't seen him yet!"

The fifth wife said: "Don't worry, there is always a chance!" "Regarding giving birth, Yulan has a belly waiting to ask Mrs. Five, the eldest Mrs. she doesn't want to ask, the second Mrs. she can't ask, and the fourth Mrs. She is not familiar with it, so she can only ask Mrs. Five.

Yulan sent the servants, blushing and asking one by one, the fifth wife patiently answered her, and comforted her after the most sorrow: "Don't be afraid, women have to pass this hurdle, you relax your heart, and the pain will pass when the time comes." Look at your fifth aunt and me, I have already given birth to three, and nothing has happened! ”

Yulan understood some questions that he didn't understand, and he relaxed his heart, the unknown is the most terrifying! If you know the way, you can find a way to solve it.

After saying this, I talked about some family things, and I realized that Mrs. Lu Dao's illness had already been cured, and there were a lot of conflicts with Mrs. Fourth during this time. The fourth room is settled in the Yang family, and the fourth wife is still busy looking for relatives for the sixth girl, and she still has no clue. I have begged the fifth wife. Although Mrs. Fifth had the heart to help, she really didn't dare to agree for a while.

"At the age of the sixth sister, I'm afraid I can only fill the house for others!" Mrs. Fifth shook her head. If the fourth wife still has the intention of finding a good match for the sixth girl, I am afraid that she will really hit a wall everywhere.

"There is another thing that you may not know, our second young master's family matter has been decided." Yulan really didn't know about it. "How is it so fast?" A while ago, the eldest lord and the eldest lady had a quarrel, and the eldest lord threatened to find a family affair for his son, Yulan thought he was just talking. I haven't heard of the eldest lady telling the second young master about family affairs for a while, so it seems that this family affair is really what the eldest master said?

"Who is it?"

"It is said that the daughter of the uncle's former subordinates, just released from Shanxi, after returning to Beijing, he found a vacancy in Honglu Temple, he is a small official from the fifth grade, his daughter has just reached Lu this year, her maiden name is Zhang, and she is a daughter!"

Yulan and Mrs. Wu looked at each other, and immediately understood that the eldest man took a fancy to this family probably because of the word "concubine". Thinking about Chengye's age, it's really time to say kiss. He is a concubine, and he has no fame, so it is right to marry the daughter of a fifth-grade official.

"What is the character of this Miss Zhang?" In Yulan's view, the background is secondary, and the key is to see whether the young lady's character is good or not. Marrying a good daughter-in-law for the benefit of three generations, if you marry a person with a bad character, the third generation of the Yang Mansion has grown up slowly, and they will have to marry wives and have children in the future.

The fifth lady shook her head: "No one knows about this!" "Think about it, I just came back from Shanxi, and I just want to inquire about Miss's conduct. The eldest lord probably just felt that the door was about the same, so he gave it directly. "Uncle is in charge of his own affairs, and he has already exchanged Geng posts with the Zhang family."

Geng posts have already been changed, and it's too late to regret it. I think it was because the old man felt that the old lady had already returned, and if he knew that he would personally say goodbye to his son, he would definitely not give him a good face, so he hurriedly exchanged Geng posts with the Zhang family.

"Then the lady ...... there" Master Geng Tie can write to the Zhang family by himself, and the rest of the decision, the invitation date, etc., these things are not something that the eldest master can handle, and the eldest lady still has to come forward.

The fifth lady smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law has nothing to say." "It's hard for such a couple not to mess up Chengye's marriage. The eldest lord didn't even inquire about the character of the young lady, so he dared to give it directly. If you are lucky, it's okay to marry a good person and come back, but if you are unlucky and marry someone with a bad character, the Yang family will be unlucky.

Speaking of which, you can't blame the big man, he is a big man, this kind of thing, even if you want to inquire, there is nowhere to ask!

The eldest lady is also responsible for this matter, and she originally told her concubine that the family affair was her business, but she became the shopkeeper herself.

Yulan sighed helplessly, whether it was good or bad, she could only wait to marry and come to see it. The reputation of the Yang family in Beijing is not very good now, the Zhang family is willing to marry their daughter to such a family, and the daughter of the Zhang family is not much better!

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, July passed and August, and the weather gradually cooled down. Yulan prepared the delivery room early in the morning, but seeing that the days were approaching day by day, there was no sign of giving birth until the due date passed.

The entire palace up and down became nervous. Mother Qian wears incense three times a day, and the servant women inside and outside even walk a little lighter.

Seeing that August 15 is approaching, drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating crabs, and admiring the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household is a day of reunion, but a clan relative like Ye Yichen can't celebrate the festival at home. During this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor held a banquet in the imperial garden to entertain his ministers. Ye Yichen is both an imperial prince and an important minister, so it is definitely impossible to be absent.

On the first day, there was a decree from the palace that the princess of Jin was about to give birth, so she was exempted from Yulan and entered the palace to receive the banquet and asked her to recuperate at home. Ye Yichen sat on the edge of the bed and held Yulan's hand: "Otherwise, I'll go and talk to the emperor, I'll accompany you at home at this year's Mid-Autumn Festival!" "The reunion is second, and I am afraid that Yulan will launch this day.

Yulan was lying on the big ink pillow on the Xiangfei couch, now her belly is too big, and she is very uncomfortable to sit, except for regular exercise every day, she usually lies on the couch. To say that Ye Yichen is really a good husband, these days in the Five Armies Governor's Mansion will get off work at the end of the day, and the subordinates will not go to the banquet and entertainment, so they will come back to accompany Yulan.

"Lord Wang, you better go. There are big grandmothers and horse managers in this house, and they are all very appropriate people. The women are all experienced, and if they are about to give birth, they will definitely know the Tao in advance. Of course Ye Yichen understood what she said, but after all, she was still not at ease.

This birth is too difficult to get, and Ye Yichen does not allow Yulan to have a little accident.

After thinking about it, I went to Yang's house in person and asked Mrs. Fifth to come over tomorrow and stay with Yulan for a day. If there is really something in the house, where can the fifth wife command these slaves whose shelves are bigger than the master, he knows that the relationship between the fifth wife and Yulan is the best, but it is just the heart of inviting An An Yulan.

It is very rude to invite someone over at this time, after all, the fifth wife is also a big family with a family, and people want to be reunited. However, Mrs. Fifth readily agreed.

Seeing that he was so nervous, Yulan also became nervous for no reason. It's been a few days since the due date, but the stomach seems to be going to stay for a long time, but it doesn't start. The doctor came to check the pulse three times a day, and every time he comforted the child, this kind of thing is also different from person to person, and there is nothing to do.

Yulan also tried his best to comfort himself that there was nothing to do. If it weren't for the fact that several colleagues in her previous life had also given birth a week or two after the due date, it is estimated that she would have to worry about death.

At night, the rain tossed and turned, and he was not asleep when it passed. Ye Yichen was asleep, but he was awakened by the sound of her turning over. Since Yulan reached the due date, the prince slept very unsteadily, but whenever there was a disturbance, he woke up immediately. It's like waiting for the rest of the day when we were fighting.

Ye Yichen stretched out his long arm and hugged Yulan in his arms: "What's wrong?" ”

Yulan was silent, and Ye Yichen's voice was a little softer: "What's wrong?" Tell me what you have to say. We're all going to face it together. ”

Yulan then said: "Lord Wang, why did you say that he hasn't come out yet, he's really in a hurry!" The strength that she had been pretending to be in front of her subordinates had all vanished in the dead of night, and she had been spending the past few days in a mixture of gains and losses, and her heart was like cooking in a frying pan.

Worrying that the child stays in the mother's womb for too long is not good for the child, and worrying that the child will have such and such problems even if it is born. But I don't know what the consequences will be. Yulan hated the backward medical conditions in this world, he couldn't even do a simple caesarean section, and he hated that he didn't study medicine in his previous life.

But she couldn't say these words to Ye Yi Chenming.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Ye Yichen's tone was gentle and mellow, and his voice echoed in the quiet inner room at night, which was extremely pleasant, "Didn't the Imperial Doctor and Doctor Bai say that when to give birth to a child varies from person to person, and our child must be fine." You can rest assured, rest assured! He'll be born healthy, I promise you! ”

There was a strong confidence in his voice, and Yulan was willing to believe his words, and finally slowly relaxed.

Ye Yichen thought for a while and said, "I still won't go to the palace tomorrow!" ”

"Don't! There are five aunts here, so you better go. Besides, if you look at it like this, it may not be launched tomorrow! "For the ancient aristocracy, it is of course self-evident which is more important than the mother-in-law's birth of a child and the emperor's favor. You can't help your wife give birth to a child, in order to accompany your wife to have a child and live up to God's grace, you have to go to the impeachment.

Ye Yichen has been holding Yulan like this, kissing her sideburns. Under his gentle soothing, Yulan finally fell asleep slowly.

Hearing his wife's even breathing, Ye Yichen finally let out a sigh of relief. For the sake of this child, the prince feels a little exhausted. It's more tiring than fighting a big battle with the Bruts. The point is that you can't help in a hurry.

I only hope that Yulan can give birth to a child smoothly, the mother and child are safe, and he has nothing else to ask for.

On the day of August 15 the next day, Mr. Ma and Chengying were specially left in the front yard, and it was convenient to deliver news to the palace if there was anything. After dinner in the morning, Mrs. Fifth came, and Mother Qian welcomed Mrs. Fifth in, feeling very embarrassed.

"Call the fifth aunt over under the big festival, it's also a big mess over there!" The fifth room also has a holiday, although the fifth wife does not preside over the feed, but things are definitely indispensable. Besides, Brother Cheng and Brother Liang are two years old, and the other is only a few months old. Yulan persuaded the prince not to trouble the fifth wife, but the prince refused to listen at all.

Mrs. Fifth smiled: "It's nothing! Your fifth uncle is also going to enter the palace to receive the banquet, and he is also facing a room of servant women at home, so it is better to come to you to hide and be lazy! In addition, I heard that the cooks in your house are all highly skilled, and they are even more delicious than the emperor's imperial food. I've got to cook a big meal today to fill my mouth. ”

Yulan laughed when she heard her say this, and there was a little sweetness in her smile. Some time ago, in order to make up for her, Ye Yichen brought all the famous chefs from several major restaurants in Beijing to the mansion. The catering industry in Beijing was in a depression, and the shopkeepers of several major restaurants went to Ma Fu to cry every day. It's just that the prince is in a high position, and if he doesn't nod and let go, no one can do anything.

Later, people in Beijing said that there is no need to go to a big restaurant for dinner now, and the dishes made by King Jin's Mansion are much more delicious than any restaurant. Even Mrs. Five, who has just given birth and doesn't go out much, has heard of it.

Yulan invited the fifth wife to sit on the big kang near the window, and asked the little maid to bring the moon cakes made in the kitchen. "Aunt Five, let's taste how this mooncake is done first."

The little maidens rushed in, each carrying a small crystal tray, and there were not many mooncakes in it, only three or five. The five wives took a look, bean paste, five kernels, green tea, sesame seeds, egg yolks, ham, shrimp, peanuts, and all kinds of fillings.

The mooncake was exquisitely made, like a work of art, and Mrs. Wu was amazed. "Blessed are you! ”
