Chapter 216: The Newlywed (10)
Tonight is windy, with the sound of dripping rain, it seems a little noisy at this hour.
However, it was dark.
There was no light except for the light that was lit next to the bed.
Xia Yiqing's figure just blocked most of the bright light, and only a small part was slowly warm and sprinkled on Zhen Xuan's face, and her slightly trembling eyelashes fell into an arc-shaped silhouette.
Zhen Xuan couldn't help pursing her lips slightly, she heard Xia Yiqing call her, but the voice was very soft, like a whisper from her throat, which made Zhen Xuan stunned all of a sudden, and when she came back to her senses and wanted to respond, she felt blank for too long, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only raise her eyes timidly.
Looking at each other, Zhen Xuan instinctively looked away.
The body was stiff before, and now the eyes are lowered, and this reaction is like a frightened rabbit. I don't know why, Xia Yiqing came up with this metaphor in his mind, but he didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate, the bride had to adapt to the life after marriage, deal with the relationship between her husband and family, take care of people, and also have things between husband and wife, which is not just a day or two.
And in Tianyi Courtyard, because of Du Yueniang, a concubine with a special status in the hearts of the ancestors, Zhen Xuan's caution made him a little unbearable.
Those causes and effects, since they already exist, are powerless to rewrite.
Zhen Xuan doesn't like to be kept in the dark like Zhen Lin is going to be accepted as a side concubine by the Seventh Prince, so there are some things that Xia Yiqing would rather tell Zhen Xuan about in the future.
After blowing out the lamp and falling into the tent, Xia Yiqing took Zhen Xuan and said, "The Du family was carried into the door for the old ancestor Chongxi. Because it's a rush. There is an auspicious time for everything. There are rules for when to enter the door, when to lift the hijab, when to say anything, and even when I enter the house and when I come out. When I came out, she was sent to her ancestors. It wasn't until five months later, when her belly was revealed, that the family realized that no one had fed her the soup in a hurry. ”
Zhen Xuan chuckled in her heart, she was a little happy when Xia Yiqing first said it, even if the content was how her husband brought the concubine back. But those are the status quo that can't be changed, as long as Xia Yiqing is willing to tell her about things and not hide it from her, she will be more relieved, and she really wants to know how to deal with Du Yueniang's illness, especially in front of the ancestors. But when she heard that Du Yueniang was pregnant, she was nervous all of a sudden, the Xia family would never allow the concubine to be born in front of the concubine, what about Du Yueniang's child?
Xia Yiqing gently patted Zhen Xuan's back and signaled her not to be nervous: "The old ancestor and grandmother are absolutely not allowed to break the rules, so they let someone send a bowl of medicine." I heard that Du Yueniang didn't say a word and didn't resist, and lay in bed for half a month after giving birth. I went to serve my ancestors again. It is not so much that she has passed the illness of her ancestors, but that she has fallen into the root of the disease due to a miscarriage. Even if the ancestor came back to Tianyi Courtyard after he was healthy, her body would not be able to take it back. ”
Zhen Xuan was silent, although she had never been pregnant and gave birth to a child, but she knew how much the miscarriage was a woman's body, and the older the month, the more so, just like her mother Ji, who had a miscarriage and had a bad health after giving birth.
It's just that what did Du Yueniang think at that time? Others don't know about Lu Dao, didn't she know that Lu Dao was pregnant with a child when she was in the fifth month? But when I think of Ren, wasn't Ren five months younger than she was pregnant and didn't know it?
Zhen Xuan is just getting married for the first time, and she only listened to Ji's explanation with the two mothers who married her, and it is really difficult to judge without experiencing it personally, and everyone's physique is different, so it can't be generalized.
The rules of this family will not change, Zhen Xuan believes that even if Du Yueniang was lucky enough to persist in giving birth at that time, in the hands of Mrs. Zheng, it would probably be the end of one corpse and two lives. Knowing that Lu Dao would be like this, does Du Yueniang really have the courage to hide it? No matter which one it is, Du Yueniang survived at that time, but now, it is really dry out.
For a person who has run out of oil, there is no need to pursue those truths again.
Zhen Xuan didn't speak, and Xia Yiqing was silent.
After hearing these past events, Zhen Xuan's reaction was far calmer than he thought, but for him, there was a sense of relief, because these were all things he wanted to tell Zhen Xuan, and he didn't want to hide them.
Zhen Xuan moved slightly at this time, burying her face in Xia Yiqing's chest, she felt a little cold, thinking of the white face that did not have a trace of blood when she saw Du Yueniang twice, it seemed that all the blood and qi had followed that child, which made people panic. She felt Xia Yiqing tighten her arms, with a hint of comfort as she leaned over.
Thinking back to Xia Yiqing's words, Zhen Xuan couldn't hear that he had the slightest affection for that Chongxi concubine, more of guilt and understanding for her serving her ancestors, those were not children's feelings.
It stands to reason that Zhen Xuan should be happy, but what surrounds her heart is uneasiness, is Xia Yiqing really such a heartless person? Or is it because Du Yueniang has been with the ancestor all the time, and they don't have time to have any feelings at all? Although the status of the main room is far from being comparable to that of the concubine room, no one would want to worship the man who has worshiped the heaven and earth hall with cold feelings.
If she really heard the friendship, even if it was just a little bit, Zhen Xuan would not feel comfortable when she asked herself.
People are always so contradictory, especially when it comes to men and women.
"Qi Niang," as if sensing that Zhen Xuan was a little entangled, Xia Yiqing wanted to break this silence, "What are you thinking?" ”
Zhen Xuan muffled his voice in response, and said slowly: "It's already half a person who has entered the earth." ”
Du Yueniang's body can't be faked, whether she was intentional or unintentional back then, whether she is intentional or unintentional now, a concubine with a half-breath should not be the object of Zhen Xuan's embarrassment, and for this concubine, Xia Yiqing has no ambiguous attitude, what does the ancestor have on his side, he just says a few words openly and secretly, and he will not directly make the decision, if the ancestor really wants to raise Du Yueniang regardless of his bent heart, regardless of whether Xia Yiqing's wife enters the door or not, this matter has already been done.
Xia Yiqing was also stunned after hearing Zhen Xuan's words, and muttered and repeated it again. Regarding Du Yueniang's attitude, he is consistent, guilty, grateful and considerate, and that's all.
Those things Zhen Xuan can think through, and it is best not to become a thorn between their husband and wife.
After all, a husband and wife are people who will work together for a lifetime.
The sound of rain outside the house became more and more urgent, and before Xia Yiqing fell asleep, Zhen Xuan beside her had already fallen asleep.
A thunder just passed the time of the child, which was extremely abnormal in this season, Zhen Xuan slept deeply and didn't hear it, but Du Yueniang's hut was a cough that couldn't even suppress the thunder.
Ziyuan knelt in front of Du Yueniang's bed, and the tiredness on her face didn't dare to show it, but the black shadow under her couldn't cover it, but fortunately, Du Yueniang was so sick that she couldn't notice it at all. Zi Yuan gently helped Du Yueniang wipe the sweat on her forehead, the profane clothes on Du Yueniang's body in the brocade quilt had already been soaked, Zi Yuan wanted to change it for her, Du Yueniang shook her head.
Zi Yuan knew what Du Yueniang meant, even if she changed it, she would still be soaked after a while, why bother so much, besides, Du Yueniang didn't even have the strength to lift a finger, and the strength to change clothes became more and more unbearable.
Mama Chang couldn't sleep after resting for a while, she looked outside the curtain with her clothes on, and couldn't help sighing: "It's so powerful, do you want to go to the door and say something?" The chess girl instructed to go to the door, and she shouldn't embarrass us. I saw that I hadn't swallowed much of the medicine at night, how could it get better? ”
Du Yueniang heard Mama Chang's voice, she looked at Ziyuan with tears in her eyes, Ziyuan didn't know what she was thinking, sniffed, turned back to Mama Chang and said, "Mama is worried about Auntie, Auntie understands in her heart." Although grandma said that she would go back if she had something, and her sister also told her to go back, but at this time, what is the use of going back to the court, except for being able to ask the second master and the second grandmother to come and see again? The second grandfather and the second grandmother are newly married, and we don't care if we dislike it, in case we get the aunt involved, it's really impossible to live. ”
Zi Yuan's eyes were red as she spoke, and Mama Chang saw it in her eyes, and there was a burst of emotion in her heart. Ziyuan is young, she doesn't understand some things, but Chang Mama understands, at the end of the strong crossbow, like Du Yueniang, she has no more thoughts, the only thing she can ask for is to have a good reputation, and she will never want to disturb the second master and the second grandmother at this time.
At the end of the day, it's fate.
If it weren't for the coincidental eight characters, with Du Yueniang's identity, how could she enter the door of the Xia family? If it hadn't been five months but two months, I would have known it, and if I had taken the medicine early, I would have been able to take care of it well, and I wouldn't have reached such a field with my body.
Recalling Du Yueniang's beautiful appearance when she first entered the door, Mama Chang also felt sorry, but when she thought of the small and gentle one in the main room, this regret turned in her heart and pressed her down. The pattern in the Tianyi Courtyard, she doesn't have to choose, she knows what to do, she can't be confused for a little sympathy, Du Yueniang lives one day less, she finally worked hard in the Xia family to be able to enter the house to serve, even if it is an aunt's house, but compared to before, it is a day and a place, and she will go further in a few days, that day......
Mama Chang pursed her lips and pondered to herself, the future is more important than anything else.
If she wants to make her conscience more comfortable, what she can do is hot soup, hot tea, hot medicine, and send Du Yueniang away, which can be regarded as accumulating some virtue.
Thinking like this, he didn't mention the matter of going to the door to return to the door, turned around and took the prepared hot water from the tube in the corner, poured a cup and handed it to Ziyuan: "Moisten your lips with your aunt, you sweat so much, make up for it some." ”
Zi Yuan nodded with red eyes: "Mom, let's go rest for a while, I'll have to bother my mother when it's dawn." ”
