Chapter 10: The Zhou Family's Daughter

"Sister Danxia! Okay, help me through again, let me meet Madame! ”

In front of the door of Xie's bedroom, a young pregnant woman with a tall belly quickly grabbed a maid who quietly walked out of the room, choked in her throat, and her eyes were covered with a layer of light mist that wanted to condense into drops.

"Aunt Wang, Madame told you to raise the fetus with peace of mind, don't embarrass me!" , Danxia looked at Aunt Wang's seven-month-old belly, and helplessly closed her hands and begged for mercy, for fear of a one-star collision with this long-awaited pregnant woman. Although Aunt Wang is just from the same girl background as herself, but what is in the belly of the family is the future master.

"Danxia!" , Aunt Wang's transparent white hand is about to pinch out the juice of Danxia's green gown, and a pair of clove rice bead earrings have been added on the other hand.

"Aunt Wang, Danxia entered the house at the age of five, and you still took her to serve in front of your grandmother, you know your grandmother's temper better than me!" , Danxia glanced at the inner room quickly, pushed away Aunt Wang's hard-stuffed hand, carefully instructed, and said, "Grandma is worshipping the Buddha." Just now she asked Xiao Juan to go to the embroidery building to call the big girl, you can wait! ”

Wait a minute? Does that mean begging for a big girl? Looking at Danxia's figure that slipped away while she was stunned, Aunt Wang began to twist the handkerchief in her hand anxiously in the moonlight.

Just after the first month, the old man Zhou Xian bombarded the fourth and fifth masters of the Zhou family who had not yet entered the office, and took a large family back to Huocheng to fulfill their filial piety to Mrs. Tai.

Zhou Song, the uncle who served as a Lang official in the military department, only left an unborn concubine in Beijing in order to fulfill his filial piety, and Aunt Wang was sent back to her hometown with her main mother Xie.

Aunt Wang, who was pregnant, didn't want to do it, but in addition to the one in her belly, she also had a four-year-old son raised by Xie's side and was taken on the road together. The child is young, and he is a concubine, and his name has not yet been raised, but he is just calling Brother Wen, and he is also sick at this time.

"Girl, I heard that Sister Yun in the fifth room has eaten that bitter herb! Why don't you go and ask grandma for a favor, and let Brother Wen try medicine for his brothers and sisters? Aunt Wang thought about the words handed by her mother, her face was confused, and when she heard the faint voice, her eyes were already clear.

The moonlight is like silver, sprinkled in fine pieces, the clear lotus Shuhua in the pool, the waves are rippling, the fog above the pond is oozing with incense, the small embroidery building and the zigzag corridor on the opposite side of the pool are like a dream.

Two pretty maids, one with a tall lantern, and the other with a broken willow, set off the young girl like a fairy who had just stolen down from the Moon Palace, giving birth to a lotus step by step.

Zhou Manhua, the daughter of the Zhou family, is noble and noble, and is kind and benevolent...... Thinking of the praise for Zhou Manhua in Luojing City, Aunt Wang gritted her teeth and trotted over with her stomach.

"Auntie, be careful!" , To the figure that suddenly popped out in the dark, the two maids just dodged and exclaimed, but it was Zhou Manhua who personally reached out to support Aunt Wang, smiling softly, like a spring breeze.

Aunt Wang was overjoyed in her heart, and as if she was grasping a life-saving straw, she pulled Zhou Manhua's sleeve directly, and pleaded in a low voice, "Blessings to the eldest girl!" You are the most kind. Please save your brother...... I just ask grandma to do a good job, and let Brother Wen try it......"

There was only one thing, but Aunt Wang said it upside down, and she repeatedly lamented and was extremely wordy.

Zhou Manhua listened patiently, and then, under Aunt Wang's eager gaze, nodded slowly.

Time is like leakage, and the night is as cool as water......

After watching Zhou Manhua walk into Xie's tightly closed door, there was no movement, and Aunt Wang, who had a big belly, stood in the courtyard only to feel numb feet and trembling legs, and her stomach also felt uncomfortable.

She held on for a while, and when she saw that the two maids who had just followed Manhua in Xie's room had withdrawn, she followed her and was careful.

"Aunt Wang, the eldest girl has already rested with the Xie family!" The two maids glanced at each other, and one of the taller ones hesitated, and whispered most of the truth to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang's eyes widened in shock, "If you don't bother the two sisters, go and say goodbye again, and ask the doctor to come and see Brother Wen tonight!" ”

"This, Aunt Wang, we are just serving the eldest girl." , The tall maid said softly, glanced at the door of the Xie family out of the corner of her eye, stretched out her hand and pulled the stunned companion, and hurried towards the embroidery building where they lived.

Aunt Wang hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and stepped forward to knock on the door and shout.

After a while, Danxia, who had a sad face, walked out of Xie's room again and stood by the door, "Aunt Wang, you are heavy, just go back and rest." Grandma confessed, Brother Wen has her own nurse to take care of her, don't worry about it, and ask the doctor tomorrow morning. ”

Aunt Wang was stunned, resigned herself to covering her face, shook off Danxia's arm that was trying to protect, and walked back to her own room with a shallow foot.

"Auntie is back?"

, Aunt Wang's personal maid Caixia came up and laughed embarrassedly.

With a snap, the slap sounded, and a few blood-red finger marks appeared on Caixia's pink face.

"Get out, you useless thing, get out of here!" Aunt Wang drank Caixia away, and cried loudly on the bed by herself. "It's no wonder that you didn't have a good baby! Don't you call her mother......

When she had enough of crying, Aunt Wang got up, pulled the handkerchief in her hand and wiped her face with tears, gritted her teeth fiercely, and began to look for things in person.

For a while, she was alone with a bulging purse, holding her belly and groping in the dark, towards the moon gate that led to the inner courtyard.

Aunt Wang was originally a maid of the Zhou family, and the Xie family pointed out to Zhou Song to make a room, and the aunt who was carried after the mother's grace stopped taking medicine and gave birth to a child, and there were also people from her family among the servants who returned to their hometowns this time. Unable to think of a way from the main mother, she plans to find her own mother.

Caixia, who was originally outside Aunt Wang's door, hid her body in the dark, didn't dare to say a word, and as soon as Aunt Wang walked away, she tiptoed to Xie's door.

After listening to Danxia's report, Xie instructed her a few words and asked her to send Caixia, who was ventilating outside the door. Several Xia of the Zhou family were trained by Mrs. Zhou back then, and they were divided into all rooms, all of which were rare loyal and capable.

After listening carefully to the silence outside, Xie Shi lay back on the bed again, and continued to teach Zhou Manhua, who had just interceded for Aunt Wang, "Big sister! You remember, you are the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family, and you also have two brothers. Those concubines are just cats and dogs, whether they can live or not, it only depends on their own lives, and they don't have to go against your grandmother's will for them. ”

"Mother! Is that what a concubine has a child like? Under the severe reprimand of his mother, Zhou Manhua's voice was timid, and his delicate little face was more frightened, "But that one already has a wife, if I enter the palace, wouldn't I also be a concubine......"

"Stupid! The princess of the palace is ranked! Xie's fingers poked at the eldest daughter's forehead with hatred.

"Mother! Before leaving Luojing, my grandfather specially asked me to go to his study and test me to memorize the ancestral teachings of the Zhou family. I think my grandfather, he specifically emphasized the rule that the Zhou family has no remarriage and no concubines. He said that if there was a daughter of the Zhou family who humiliated the Zhou family, he would kill him directly. Mother! I don't think my grandfather would have liked to let me go as a concubine. ”

"Being a concubine? Can that be the same! That's royal. Your aunt and uncle were appointed as concubines of the court, according to your grandfather, should she serve the Son of Heaven? The father-in-law actually went beyond the box to discipline the daughter of the back house, and the Xie family was depressed for a while.

The hundred-year-old Xie family is in the dynasty, and it has the reputation of "Xie Banchao", and the in-laws have been old for several lifetimes, and the news is very good. Emperor Bixia's knee can inherit the left of the unification, but there are only those three princes, and according to the analysis of the eldest brother of the mother's family, in fact, the sacred heart has already been decided.

If the father-in-law does not toss, Manhua, who is talented and beautiful, as the eldest granddaughter of the in-service Shangshu of the Sanpin Rite Department, will have a better future in marrying into the palace.

Now, the father and son are in prison, and after such a toss, Manhua may not even have the opportunity to enter the palace. Even if the Xie family can help to redeem it, it can only make the charming Manhua suffer some grievances in his position.

Fortunately, my daughter is in her prime, and she can't laugh at zuihou. Xie Shi thought about the situation in Nafu and the promises made by several nobles that day, smiled lightly, and quietly whispered in Manhua's ear and talked about private explanations.

"Mother!" , with a coquettish sound, Zhou Manhua's fair cheeks suddenly flushed.

Xie sighed lightly and stroked his daughter's cloud-like hair. Manhua, who is naturally beautiful, has beautiful eyebrows like smoke, bright eyes like stars, and a gentle and lovely temperament, and should enjoy the great wealth of the world.
