Chapter 39: Go or Stay
Wang Yueniang pursed her lips and said nothing, Hua Ling continued: "Auntie, it's better to wait until three months, the child has just been put on at this time, and it is not stable, in case the lady is there...... Let's go to the capital this time, the road is far away, and all kinds of things must be unguardable......"
Without waiting for Hua Ling to finish speaking, Wang Yueniang waved her hand: "Hua Ling, we can't hide this matter." Although the old lady is very elevating me at this time, but my identity has always been a concubine, haven't you seen it clearly in the past few days when the eldest young master has come back? In the entire Shu family, the first important thing is the master, and the second is the eldest young master. ”
"But what if the aunt has a young master in her belly......" Hua Ling hurriedly said, Wang Yueniang chuckled: "It's a young master, and it's also a concubine." However, when you reminded me of this, I would have remembered that the old lady and the lady, we must choose the one that knows first. ”
Hua Ling was a little puzzled, Wang Yueniang reached out and touched her stomach. When the old lady chose the candidate for this concubine, she took the eldest girl with her, and after she entered the door for so many days, Yinhuan, the maid next to the old lady, also expressed the old lady's meaning very clearly-she was looking for a helper for the eldest girl.
Whether it is a son or a daughter, as long as she can help the eldest girl, the old lady will not be treated badly.
However, the eldest girl is a girl's family after all, and now she is not young, and she will get married in three or five years, even if she gives birth to a boy in her first child, she has to find a husband or something at the age of six. Before his son is sensible, the eldest young master must have already married a wife, and the Shu family may have changed masters.
What if, the eldest girl doesn't marry well?
The eldest girl needs help, but her children also need backers. When the old lady arrives, even if she is still alive, will she still have the energy to take care of these things?
Hua Ling saw that Wang Yueniang was deep in thought, and she didn't dare to disturb her, so she only stood aside as a piece of wood. However, soon a voice sounded outside: "Is my aunt there?" My wife asked me to bring something for my aunt. ”
Yinhuan smiled outside: "It's Sister Vanilla, our aunt is resting here, Sister Vanilla will wait a while, I'll go see if my aunt is up." ”
Vanilla hurriedly said: "No need, it's just a few things, you can keep it first, Madame is very busy there, I can't leave people, I have to go back quickly." You and your aunt said, the lord has set a day to leave, half a month later, the eighth day of the third month is a good day, if the aunt didn't start to pack things, please hurry, don't delay. ”
"Okay, I'll tell my aunt that Sister Vanilla walks slowly." Yinhuan said with a smile, and came back after the footsteps were far away, Yinhuan knocked on the door lightly, and his voice was very low: "Sister Hualing, is my aunt awake?" ”
Hua Ling looked at Wang Yueniang, Wang Yueniang hurriedly got up and leaned on the bed, stretched out her hand to pull the quilt, half covered her body, and then nodded, Hua Ling hurriedly turned around to open the door, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of Sister Yinhuan, my aunt just woke up and drank a cup of tea, just now I heard the sound of talking in the yard, who is coming?" ”
"Sister Vanilla, Madame's side, is here." Yinhuan said with a smile, and came in to put all the things in his hand on the table: "Vanilla said, this is Mrs. let me send it, aunt take a look at how to put it away." ”
Aunt Wang glanced at the table, tea, cloth, spices, and a lot. It's just a pity, the tea is old, the cloth is old, and the spices are good, but they contain ambergris. A girl from an ordinary family must not be able to tell the difference. Even if you know ambergris, you will only be flattered - this spice, people who can use it are either rich or expensive.
It's a pity that Wang Yueniang happened to smell it at Mrs. Wang's, and she happened to know the characteristics of this ambergris - generally men use this ambergris, and women use it for a long time, but it will be difficult to conceive a child.
As soon as the thought turned, Wang Yueniang looked at the silver ring with a smile: "These things are still put away as before, I am a little uncomfortable during this time, and I am disgusted when I smell the smell of this spice." ”
"Auntie is not feeling well?" Yinhuan was surprised, and then there was some guilt on her face: "The slave maid is so careful, she didn't even notice that her aunt has been unwell recently, so the slave maid went to ask her aunt to ask a doctor to come and have a look?" ”
Wang Yueniang nodded: "Go ahead, but don't alarm others, the house has been too busy recently, there is no need to alarm the lady and the old lady for this little thing about me." ”
Yinhuan hurriedly answered, neatly cleaned up the things on the table, and immediately went out to ask for a doctor. The commonly used doctor in the Shu family is Dr. Song, but Dr. Song only shows the old lady and these masters. Like the maids who are sick or something, they are all light Dr. Song's apprentices, Dr. Little Song.
Yinhuan moved quickly, Wang Yueniang had just drunk a bowl of red date porridge, and Dr. Song followed. did not surprise Wang Yueniang, and sure enough, she had a body for more than a month.
Wang Yueniang looked surprised and incredulous: "Really? Little Doctor Song, do I really have a body? ”
Doctor Xiao Song nodded with a serious face, and prescribed another prescription: "It's just that my aunt has been overthinking in the past two days, and her body is a little weak, so I'll prescribe a prescription, and my aunt can eat it for three days." Some time before you have a body, you can't be too tired, but you can walk properly. ”
Wang Yueniang hesitated a little: "Little Doctor Song, can you take the carriage?" Or by boat? As you know, our lord will be back to Beijing in a while......"
Doctor Xiao Song frowned slightly, and thought for a while before saying: "This, I can't say it clearly, if you are too tired on the road, you can't do it, but if your aunt won't get motion sickness or something, it won't be too much of a hindrance." It's just that you have to take some care to eat, and you can't eat some cold and hard things often. ”
Wang Yueniang asked other precautions, asked Hua Ling to send Dr. Song out, and then turned around and grabbed Yinhuan's hand and said with a smile: "Yinhuan, you go to the old lady to ask, see if I can go over to say goodbye at this time, this is a good thing, I want to tell the old lady in person, and there is a matter of returning to Beijing, and I have to ask the old lady to make an idea." ”
Yinhuan hurriedly answered, and hurriedly went out to report to the old lady. As soon as Hua Ling came back, she had a sad face: "Auntie, what can I do, if Mrs. wants to keep you, just for the sake of the child, I'm afraid the old lady will agree." But this stay, in case Madame doesn't mention taking you to the capital again......"
Wang Yueniang stretched out her hand to cover her stomach: "Isn't it better for us to stay?" There is no need to get involved between the old lady and the lady, just wait for the child to grow up, and then we will find a way to return to Beijing. ”
Hua Ling immediately became anxious: "Auntie, you can't think so, although you don't have to mix between the old lady and the lady to stay, but the food is used, the lady will definitely not leave us too haode, we don't have any money in our hands, how can we raise the little master in the future?" Also, the little young master has to study when he is six years old, and the conditions in the capital are much better than in Jiangnan. Also, auntie, don't forget, Madame's maiden home is not far from Jiangnan East Road, we don't have the protection of the old lady, in case Madame ......"
Wang Yueniang smiled: "There are pros and cons to things, although there are a lot of troubles in staying on Jiangnan East Road, but there are also a lot of benefits, at least, we don't have to be trembling to guard against all the things sent by Mrs., and we don't have to guess Mrs. every move all the time, and most importantly, we don't have to ask for peace or make rules." ”
Hua Ling was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before she stammered: "But, if my aunt gives birth to a girl......
If it was a young master, the old lady would definitely take her aunt back. But if it's a girl, maybe the old lady will take another concubine for the old man in the capital.
The master and servant were discussing, and Yinhuan came back happily: "The old lady asks my aunt to come over." ”
Wang Yueniang cleaned up and took Yinhuan and Hualing to Ronghua Garden. The old lady is really happy, for more than ten years, there are no heirs in the family, and now I suddenly heard the happy news, if it weren't for the identity, the old lady would have to go to see Wang Yueniang in person. Shu Manyao was also staying in the old lady's room, and when she saw Wang Yueniang coming in, her eyes first fell curiously on Wang Yueniang's stomach.
"Okay, Yueniang is a great hero of our Shu family." The old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile: "What did Dr. Song say?" Is there anything uncomfortable? But what do you want to eat and use? Don't be shy, if you want to eat, just tell me, I'll have someone prepare it for you. Now that I have a body, the taste has become different from usual......"
Wang Yueniang sat there respectfully and listened, occasionally answering a few words, Shu Manyao looked at Wang Yueniang's belly, in addition to that little curiosity, but also a little envy, in her previous life, she never had her own children until she died......
Wang Yueniang's pregnancy, she didn't hide it herself, and the old lady didn't say that she wouldn't let people know. Soon, all the masters of the Shu family, large and small, received the news.
Xu Shi was angry and immediately smashed a set of teacups indoors, and the vanilla beside her was the youngest granddaughter of Cao's mother, or it was just sent to the house some time ago. I had already received Cao's mother's instructions, and when I saw that Xu was angry at this time, I hurriedly comforted: "Madam, you don't have to worry, my aunt has just become pregnant, and it is the time when it is unstable, madam, for the sake of the child in my aunt's belly, I just left my aunt here." ”
Xu Shi was happy at first, and then frowned: "The old lady has already held the Wang family to the sky, and the Wang family's pregnancy, the old lady is afraid that she will treat people as precious eggs even more, and she is afraid that she will not be at ease to leave people behind no matter what." ”
Vanilla smiled: "Madam, what if Doctor Song says that Auntie's body is not suitable for long-distance travel?" ”
Xu sneered: "Doctor Song only listens to the old lady, besides, Doctor Song never tells lies, and I can't make Doctor Song listen to me." ”
"Madam, we didn't let Dr. Song tell lies." Vanilla smiled, Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed as well: "You girl, you are really a little smart." It just so happens that the house is busy during this time, and I have a lot of things, so I'm afraid the Wang family can't take care of it. It's just right, let's not be disgusted. ”
