The faint moonlight shone on the side face of the Min family, who was pushing the door of a room in the east wing, and the pair of Danfeng triangular eyes that were originally a little mean and stingy in Mrs. Zhou's room looked particularly peaceful and stretched in the squeak of the door.

A pair of bright candles were lit in the room, and the candle shadows shook red, reflecting two small figures lying on a bed and a couch.

Min turned around and closed the door, and seeing that there were no outsiders, he hurriedly bowed to an old woman who was sitting at the head of his son Zhou Huai's bed.

When Min sat at the end of the bed, reached in and touched Zhou Huai's warm little hands and feet, he opened his mouth softly, unable to hide his excitement, "Auntie has worked hard!" At Madame's place just now, I saw Sister Yun in the fifth room, and she was indeed much better! ”

The old woman who is taking care of Zhou Huai, the second son of the Min family, is the biological mother of the Min husband Zhou Tan and the concubine of Zhou Xian. Speaking of which, she is also a distant cousin of Mrs. Zhou's Xie family's maternal family, the Bai family, and it was the Xie family who personally carried her into the door back then.

Aunt Bai is four or five years younger than Mrs. Zhou's Xie, but she is better than her health.

Old Aunt Bai lowered her head and pondered for a while, and said: "Wufang Du is really bold, he blatantly used the poisonous bitter Xuancao, and it was not in vain that we took the trouble to ask the kitchen to deliver the news to Mother Zhu." The herbal soup sent by the fourth master, I have also tried it for the fifth girl in the past two days, and the fifth girl has been weak since she was a child, but she has nothing to eat. After verification on both sides, it was able to give the medicine to Brother Huai'er. ”

Min Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded at Aunt Bai with a smile, and said, "Today, the fifth brother and sister made a big fuss about this matter again, but fortunately, our master is low-key, and the medicine for the past two days has been brought in by someone outside." It's just that my aunt closed the door on a hot day and heated it on a small stove with hot tea, which was really tired. ”

"Over there...", Min raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the upper room, deliberately lowering his voice again, "You are still not allowed to use this herb." ”

"I know! I still take care of the two children, if Mrs. and Xie find out, I will also take it upon myself, let go of this old face, and I will not let those two aunts and nephews have the face to find trouble with Tan'er and you. ”

"Auntie!" , Min Shi held Aunt Bai's hand even more gratefully, and comforted her heart, she consciously married into the Zhou family, which was less than the upper and more than the lower.

Although the fourth room is a concubine, it is better than the heart of the family. Zhou Tan privately respected his biological mother, and Min had a reminder from his mother's mother before entering the door, and he also knew how to guard the balance between Mrs. Zhou and Aunt Bai.

Although the husband and wife respect each other more than they love each other, the husband knows his identity and situation, and only let the woman who Mrs. Zhou shoehorned in as if it were a situation to give birth to a daughter, which made the Min family, who was only the stepwife and daughter of the six-grade petty official's family, gain a foothold in the Zhou family and have a little more confidence.

"Yan Niang! It's just that when we go back to Huocheng, you should do it, but you have to do it. Her birth mother is dead. Aunt Bai seemed to understand what Min was thinking, her eyes fell on the bulging quilt on the cold couch on the other side, and she secretly thought of a sin.

"I remember, if Brother Huai'er is cured, I will definitely keep Sister Yin in my name and give her an identity as a concubine."

Min deserves it simply, she understands that although it was Aunt Bai's idea to test the medicine with the concubine Manyin. Husband Zhou Tan also said that if there is a case, Manyin is just a concubine born in a room, and she will be regarded as her defending her younger brother Huai'er.

But tear it down, people are mothers, sons, fathers and daughters who are related by blood, and it will be hateful if they want to fill up the blockage. What's more, as long as his son Huai Ge'er is really good, giving Zhou Manyin, who is immortal, a name for his concubine, is just a matter of accumulating some merit......

"Yan Niang, madam, you still have to serve with filial piety in the morning and evening. For the grandmother, you have to be vigilant. After all, this herb lady does not allow children to use it. Aunt Bai was agreed, and instructed the Min family more carefully.

"It's just because the two male grandchildren born to the women of their Xie family are now in Huocheng, and Manhua, who is now following the eldest grandmother, is not sick......

Min complained indignantly, and was patted by Aunt Bai on the back of her hand, and the back half of it was scattered.

"Your eldest son and eldest daughter are also in Huocheng, and you have to rely on your cousin to take care of you!" With a long sigh, Aunt Bai stood up and lifted the medicine pot simmering on the small tea stove, and Min saw the opportunity to obediently set up two identical small bowls.

A drop of sticky candle wax flowed, and the light flashed, shining on the new star-dotted silver frost that the old lady Bai had hidden in her bun......

In Mrs. Zhou's upper room, the doctor who was slow down finally arrived.

It is still the old doctor who has been invited for nearly a month, and the Zhou family often uses him in Fengjin County temporarily, not because he has good medical skills and has been recommended by Dr. Wang, a famous doctor in Pingzhou, but because he is old enough. The old man who is nearly seventy years old, entering and leaving the inner courtyard can also reassure Mrs. Zhou, who abides by the rules.

But also because of his old age, when the old doctor was led by the maid to sit down and began to take the pulse for Du Shi, he was still humming and panting like pulling a bellows. Zhou Manyun, who was standing beside Du Shi, frowned delicately, doubting the accuracy of his pulse technique.

"It's really hard!" , Du Shi smiled at the old doctor opposite, and Man Yun saw Xie Shi standing behind the doctor and pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally.

After a while, the old doctor loudly congratulated him, received the reward from the lord's family, and hurried away.

Zhou Manyun was ecstatic, looking at the back of the old man shaking his head with one foot high and one foot low, and shook his head in a similar way, deliberately.

With a snap of a tap, Du's palm stopped on Man Yun's forehead, and his apricot eyes were round, "Sister Yun!" What do you look like like this? In the future, remember to be the eldest sister, and help your mother protect the little one! ”

"Mother, I know!" , Man Yun smiled, the end note was delicate, and his heart was agitated.

It's a feeling like I've never felt before! Indulging her own joy in front of the frightened aunt in her previous life, watching her unhappy because of her happiness, let Man Yun let go of the heavy darkness in his heart.

"Mother Zhu! Mother Zhu! Du Shi smiled, pressed the belly that was not obvious at all, and called Zhu's mother, who was close at hand, several times in a row, and motioned for her to hug Man Yun.

Then, Du Shi pretended to exaggerate his waist with one hand, and Xiaoman who was holding her with the other, seemingly weak willow to help the wind, but in fact, he strode back to his own residence without looking back.

Du's curling figure went away, and a few maids and wives were sent out in the upper room, and the door was slowly closed by Yinxia. In Mrs. Zhou's bedroom, only Xie Shi and two or three Mrs. Zhou were left.

A white porcelain teacup trembled in the hands of Mrs. Zhou, who was sick in bed, and with a crackle, it ended on the floor in front of the bed.

The sound of breaking sounded in her ears, and the eldest grandmother Xie's eyelids shrank tightly, she understood that this sound was just a prelude, and she had to spend another hour or two in her mother-in-law.

Xie Shi's face changed sharply, and he rushed to Mrs. Zhou's bed and knelt down to plead guilty.

After a while, Xie was pulled up by Mrs. Zhou's own hands and asked her to sit next to her.

Then, without surprise, Mrs. Zhou's handkerchief covered her eyes, and her cries began again.

Xie lowered his eyebrows and whispered comfort. But I can't stop being bored in my heart. More than ten years ago, when she was still a girl in her mother's family, Xie heard her mother say that her aunt's future mother-in-law was originally the young daughter of the Xie family, and she had always been pretentious and used to crying, and she was deeply worried that she would marry into the Zhou family.

The sister-in-law who has never married cried until her children and grandchildren are full of children, which is really embarrassing. Xie sneered in his heart, and the handkerchief in his hand wiped more gently and softly towards his mother-in-law's tear-stained face.

cried happily, and Mrs. Zhou's eyes returned to fierceness, "Du Shi is pregnant, you can show me that she looks more closely." In addition to taking care of her girl who lost money all day long, she is looking out for the news outside, such unruly, don't do any ugly things, let Xiao Wu and the Zhou family be ashamed! ”

"Du Shi and the fifth brother have a deep relationship, I don't expect it to!" , Xie Shi said softly.

The doctor who was invited just now also confirmed that Du Shi was only two months pregnant, as Du Shi said that he only got on the way back to his hometown, and it should be before Zhou Zhe received the news from his father and brother and returned to Beijing.

The Zhou family is now living in a small courtyard, and it is impossible for the mother-in-law to imply it. As the future housewife, although Xie wants to kill Du's arrogance, she is really upset that she is a good person to her mother-in-law, but she is forced to let her come out and be a bad sister-in-law.

"Won't?" , with a sneer, Mrs. Zhou's graceful and dignified face twisted a little hideous.

"Hu Nu is good at prostitution, and she is in the same vein!"

The words came into his ears, and Xie Shi's heart was clear. Mrs. Zhou is scolding the Du family, father-in-law Zhou Xian's two young mixed-race concubines who are also from Yandi, and Mrs. Du who gave the twin sisters flowers to her father-in-law to serve the pillow, Du Shanshan's mother-in-law Mo Zhi.
