Chapter 218
Saying that, the maid started crying, Yanran recognized her as Qiu's personal maid, hurriedly helped her up, and asked a few more words, has the stable woman come? Someone has already replied: "Wen Po has already come, but she hasn't gone in yet!" ”
"Wen Po is here, then hurry in!" Yanran hurriedly ordered, and the maid cried even more: "Blood, a lot of blood." "Blood? There is a lot of blood, this is just a difficult birth, although Yanran's birth is quite smooth, but it is not that I have never heard of a woman who died of dystocia.
Although Wen Po had already walked into the house, she was frightened when she saw that appearance: "Let's talk about it first, do you want to keep it big or keep it small?" Look at this, I'm afraid that I can't report the size. This sentence made the maid cry and kneel on the ground again: "What should I do, what should I do?" ”
"Don't cry!" Yan Ran shouted at the maid, and then said to Wen Po: "Do your best, whether it's big or small, or can't keep it, do your best!" After Yan Ran said this, she felt that she had no strength.
Wen Po was frightened by Yanran's loud drink, nodded blankly, and asked the maids to send boiling water, scalded white cloth, and scalded scissors in. Yan Ran sat on the chair, the maid had already stood up, and said to Yan Ran: "Third grandmother, I shouldn't cry, but I'm afraid!" ”
Although this maid is Qiu's personal maid, but after all, she is still a big girl, and it is in her hands, there is a case, others will only say that Qiu's is vicious, although the name is virtuous, but secretly ruthless.
This world is still unfair to women. Yanran tried to put a smile on her face: "Don't cry, don't be afraid. There I am! The maid was still sobbing and choking, and said to Yanran: "Third grandmother, I know that I have affected you today!" ”
Yanran shook her head: "Silly boy, if you don't split up that day, and you encounter such a thing, your grandmother is not there, and I don't care, then what's it?" The maid tried to stop crying, but she couldn't stop. There was a scream of Chunhua in the room, although Yanran had given birth to two children, but screams like this, the flesh was still sour, and her hands couldn't help but pick the armrest of the chair tightly, and her nails hurt.
Wen Po's voice came from the house: "Hard, what are you doing without shouting?" ”
This child, I'm afraid it's really a little difficult to give birth, Yan Ran's thoughts haven't been finished, there is a miscellaneous footsteps behind him, and then Qiu Shi has already pounced on Yan Ran's shoulder: "Third aunt, I heard that this baby is so dangerous, what should I do, what should I do?" ”
This is really like a master and servant, Yanran pulled Qiu's hand down before saying, "Sister-in-law, this matter, listen to the destiny of heaven, right?" "Destiny? Qiu almost cried when he heard these two words: "Could it be that the destiny of heaven is that we are destined to have no children?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a baby's cry coming from the house, although this cry was small, but in Qiu's ears, it was like hearing a heavenly sound, and he hurriedly rushed to the door and asked urgently: "Born?" Male or female? ”
"Grandma Hui, it's a brother!" This sound made Qiu immediately kneel down, and folded his hands and recited Amitabha. The whole small courtyard was suddenly filled with joy, and Qiu's maid stopped crying, and wiped the tears in her eyes with her hand and smiled very happily! Wen Po had already come out with the swaddling clothes, and wanted to hand the child to Yanran, but when she saw Qiu kneeling there, she hurriedly handed the child to Qiu: "Congratulations to grandma, it's a brother!" ”
Qiu Shi stood up at this time, took the child with tears in his eyes, opened the swaddling clothes and saw that this was a brother, the tears in his eyes immediately dripped down, and said to Wen Po: "Reward, double reward!" After saying that, Qiu Shi left here with the child in his arms, and in his joy, even Yanran forgot to say hello.
Wen Po couldn't help but glance at the house, and saw that Yanran hadn't left yet, so she walked over and said, "Third grandma, that one is still alive." Yan Ran sighed lightly before saying to Wen Po: "Hard work! Wen Po also sighed: "Speaking of which, it is a woman's life." ”
This Chunhua struggled to give birth to the child, but Chunhua couldn't hug it, Yanran glanced into the room before instructing the mother-in-law on the side: "This girl must wait until she is confined before leaving." This month, take good care! "Mother-in-law should be.
Yan Ran glanced into the house again, and the maid had already walked into the courtyard and saluted Yan Ran: "Third grandma, the eldest grandmother invited you over, and said that she was lazy, I'm really embarrassed!" Yanran smiled, but the smile seemed to be forced on her face. The maid already understood, and said in a low voice: "The third grandmother is kind, but the eldest grandmother has already instructed the kitchen to boil guizhi soup, and let people wait for it, saying that this confinement must be seated." ”
If the confinement is sitting, it is good to marry out and have children for other families. Yanran nodded and left with the maid.
Chunhua lay on the bed, listening to the sound outside from the hustle and bustle to calm, her pale face was full of bitterness, thirty taels of silver, and her father and mother promised to send her to give birth to a child. After giving birth, the father and mother will come to pick him up, but he pity the child and can't even look at it.
The curtain was lifted, and the mother-in-law walked in with a bowl of soup in her hand, and when she saw Chunhua's sad face, she said, "Miss Chunhua, don't be bitter." This woman's life, that's it. Our grandmother is still a kind-hearted person, and said that when you give birth to a child and go to confinement, she will send you back and let you marry well, and promised to give you twenty taels of silver as a dowry. In other people's families, it is often heard that this child will die in less than two days. You, go back well, marry well. ”
"I, can I see the kid?" Chunhua didn't go to drink the soup, but just looked at her mother-in-law and asked eagerly. The mother-in-law shook her head: "Don't think about it, you just need to know that it is a brother, the eldest son of our grandfather and grandmother, and he will inherit these family businesses in the future, and he is a blessed person, it is enough." ”
That's enough, the tears in Chunhua's eyes finally fell, and the mother-in-law sighed again: "Don't think about it, it's boring to think so much." It's good to look at this house, but what if you stay? Brother can't call you mother, even if you endure until your grandmother dies, if you don't raise you since you were a child, you won't be close to you. It's better for you to go out and marry another family, and the twenty taels of silver that your grandmother gave you is a lot of dowry! ”
The mother-in-law was nagging there, and Chunhua drank the soup in one gulp, and her mouth was full of bitterness.
Yanran said goodbye to Qiu, and looked at the child again, this child was born very much like Uncle Rong, and Qiu kept holding it lovingly. This is also very good, the biological mother is not around, but in the hands of the mother-in-law, no one will be so careless to say that this child was not born by Qiu, but by the concubine? This secret may be kept until Qiu's death.
Yanran held out a finger, and the child opened his mouth to lick it. Qiu Shi smiled and said: "Hungry, this is the same as his sister, he won't cry when he's hungry, he will only lick!" The maid had already said: "Grandma, the nurse picked two, but who do you want to keep?" ”
"Stay, when the time comes, let's see whose milk my brother likes to drink, and then let the other one go!" Qiu Shi gave the order without hesitation, and the maid should be, and went to call the two nurses in. Qiu didn't speak, only took the child to them and let the nurse breastfeed.
Seeing that Qiu Shi looked at the nurse breastfeeding with good eyes, Yan Ran's melancholy in her heart was a little less, and said to Qiu: "Sister-in-law loves this child very much!" ”
"It's natural, my son, and I naturally want to hurt!" After speaking, Qiu said: "This matter, no matter how you say it, it is also detrimental to Yin morality, I have promised that family, on the day of her marriage, will send another twenty taels of silver as a dowry." I also went to the temple to send merit. Third aunt, that's all I can do. If you keep her, you will inevitably be said to be just a concubine. Now that he is raised by my side, I will treat him as my own son, and no one dares to say that he is a concubine! ”
"Sister-in-law, I understand, it's just that the world is unfair and unfair to women!" Qiu Shi couldn't help but have tears in the corners of his eyes, and then sighed: "Isn't there a precedent for uncle?" He tried his best so hard, but the second brother still turned against him. The third aunt, if she is not biological, she is not biological, no matter how good she treats him, she always has other thoughts. ”
Yanran patted Qiu's hand, Qiu put away her tears and said: "Thank you no matter what, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid this stable woman won't do her best!" Yan Ran knew that Qiu Shi already knew about scolding Wen Po, so she smiled and didn't speak.
The nurse had already fed the child and returned the child to Qiu's hand, Qiu took the child and smiled lovingly: "This is my son, third aunt, you understand!" Yan Ran nodded slightly, and Qiu Shi put the child's little face on his face. In this way, for Chunhua, for Qiu, and for this child, it may be the best result.
Rong Qi sighed after listening to Yanran talk about today's events: "The heir is a big deal, even if it is an uncle, it is inevitable that he will sigh!" ”
"When will the daughter's family be considered a descendant? Instead of having to be a son to inherit cigarettes? Yanran's question made Rong Qi smile, and then Rong Qi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe never, from ancient times to the present, sons are cigarettes, daughters are not!" ”
"But isn't my daughter also surnamed Rong? If you recruit a son-in-law, you can also have the surname Rong? Yan Ran said sullenly, Rong Qi thought about it carefully before saying, "It's not right, isn't there a saying that there are three generations of returnees?" Yanran, I know that this world is unfair to women, but when will this world be fair? ”
As if this was indeed the case, Yanran let go of her hand: "It's me who is stubborn." Rong Qi held his wife's hand: "It's not that you are stubborn, Yanran, we just need to work hard to be fair to our daughter!" The little Sister Xin, who can bring infinite happiness to herself, smiled again.
"Master, there's a letter from the capital!" Qiulan's voice sounded outside the door, Rong Qi sent the letter in, opened the letter and looked at it, Rong Qi's face suddenly changed color: "Second brother, he escaped!" ”
Fled? Yanran's expression also changed, and she hurriedly snatched the letter, which was written by Steward Chen, which said that before he opened his mouth in front of the third master of Zeng, he heard that the second brother Zheng fled in Guangzhou in Layue last year, and the third master of Zeng was furious and wanted to sue the Zheng family, and even came to Yangzhou to pursue the second brother Zheng. If there is no recourse, Uncle Zheng and his family will be escorted to Beijing.
The author has something to say: In the next article, let's write about the fight between the nouveau riche Hou Mansion, the first generation of Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Hou took a kitchen knife and fought with Hou Ye or something, and then the daughter was angry and killed the grandmother who came to teach the rules or something.
