Chapter 48, Ten Years of Vacancy
Accompanied by Li Moge, Dong'er returned to Mrs. Li and sat down, and Mother Li smiled from ear to ear when she saw her, as if the eldest head of the long house, Sun Li, who was still an embryo, was preferable.
Dong'er is a birthday gift that can breathe today, and it is the most special existence among all birthday gifts, she knows that this kind of treatment can sit next to the birthday star, which is this time today, she has a heart, and secretly tells herself: You are just an object sitting here, you don't have to open your mouth to speak, you don't have to entertain them, just have a paralyzed face and a stiff face.......
Princess Ning'an sat on the other side of Mother Li, and in addition to Mother Li, the eldest daughter-in-law Princess Ning'an, and the second daughter-in-law Su Ziying and Wan Dong'er, there were Li Mingshuo's elderly aunts and aunts, who were really a group of mothers-in-law and mothers in the standard sense.
Mother Li suddenly learned today that her eldest son was about to become a father, and she was overjoyed, and she was usually tired of those seven aunts and eight aunts asking when the long house would be able to raise children.
She was focused on the birthday gift of walking, and when she saw Dong'er coming back, she quickly took her hand and sat on the seat next to her, and smiled at the women at a table: "The boss of our family can actually calm down, the two of them have summed up such a valuable birthday gift and don't show a little tone to me, it is really hard to hide from me, usually if he encounters something good, without him to speak, we can see from his stinky appearance, this year I was stunned and didn't let us see it, it was really calm." ”
Princess Ning'an took over the conversation and said: "Mother, the concubine often said that his interest and ambition have never been on the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but on the Jin Ge iron horse, for him, it is only a matter of time before he abandons the pen and follows Rong, and I also intend to fulfill his ambitions, but unfortunately I have been married to him for many years and have nothing to do, so before he inherits the mantle of his father-in-law, he has to find a way to let him have a son and a half daughter. Serving the court and honoring the ancestors is important. ”
Old Mrs. Li nodded in agreement: "It's still a princess who understands righteousness and has a lofty mind, and if she is an ordinary person, she definitely doesn't have such a high realm." I only know that I have a family, I don't know that I have a country, I only know that I glorify my ancestors, and I don't know how to repay God's grace. Having the princess as his wife is really a blessing he cultivated in his previous life. ”
Princess Ning'an glanced at Dong'er and said, "It's still the horse that has its own ideals and ambitions, and has always been thinking about the feelings of the family and the country. ”
Seeing that the princess praised her son, Mother Li was inexhaustible, and her joy was overflowing, and she almost didn't want to say a few polite and modest words to make a gesture. It was Li Mingshuo's aunt who was polite.
Mother Li turned her head to look at Dong'er, the more she looked at it, the happier she became, and asked thoughtfully: "Girl, have your tastes changed since you became pregnant?" Do you like to eat sour or spicy? ”
The aunt smiled at Princess Ning An and Su Ziying: "Your mother-in-law, you can't wait to know if his eldest son's first child is a boy or a girl?" ”
Princess Ning An and Su Ziying just laughed and didn't speak.
Dong'er replied honestly: "Back to the old lady, the slave and maid like to eat salty more than usual, and do not like to eat sour and spicy. ”
Mother Li was stunned, and she didn't know how to interpret eating salt.
Su Ziying advised her mother-in-law: "Mother, these folk slang words are unreliable, Hui'er (Li Chongjun's eldest daughter Li Ronghui) When her mother was pregnant with her, she liked to eat sour, and she stepped on her left foot before entering the door, and she dreamed of a big tiger and a python, and the whole house said that his mother was pregnant with a male baby, you see, Hui'er is still a delicate little girl after all, even if it is an ancient precept that has been passed down for thousands of years, there is always an uncertain time." ”
Everyone discussed: "Yes, yes, these folk slang words are really just for fun, just like a small gamble, and it's another thing to be allowed or not." ”
Mother Li was a little disappointed, she wanted a positive statement.
Hearing everyone's complaints about folk slang, she nodded, suddenly thought of one more thing, and asked Ning An cautiously: "Princess, this girl Wan has been living in the princess's mansion?" ”
The princess smiled and said, "No, I found her from outside, I was afraid that the rules of the princess's mansion would be too big and scare her, so I specially allocated a foreign house for her to live in." My mother and I often go to visit her. If you need anything, just open your mouth with me. ”
Mother Li and Su Ziying looked at each other, and they all thought of why the eldest prince had spent more than two months outside than at home, and it turned out that in addition to the Li Mansion and the Princess Mansion, he had a more comfortable place to go.
As long as this girl is not under the control of Cui's mother, Mother Li is relieved, and at the same time, she is even more convinced that Dong'er is a good gift prepared by Princess Ning'an, not a demon by her son.
Mother Li always couldn't help but ask Princess Ning'an about Dong'er, she talked and laughed with the old sisters for a while, and suddenly remembered that one thing was one thing, and asked Ning'an: "Princess, you said that you told the fortune of Dong'er's child, did the fortune teller ever calculate how many children you and the concubine can have?" ”
Princess Ning'an talked about what happened afterwards as if it happened beforehand, and she smiled knowingly and said: "I took the birthday of the Dong'er girl to find the Xiangshi to calculate, and the Xiangshi said that this girl is the life of many sons and many blessings, if the concubine has been with her, she can always have children." ”
As soon as she heard this, Dong'er's face changed, she turned white, and looked at Princess Ning'an dumbfounded, not knowing when Princess Ning'an got her birth date by what means.
Li Mingshuo's aunt saw that Dong'er's face became ugly, and joked with a smile: "Look at the scared children, you really use other people's family as heirlooms." ”
Princess Ning'an looked at Dong'er's face carefully, and it really became more ugly than before, and she added: "But because Master Ma is bent on going to the battlefield to make contributions, Xiangshi also said that there will be a big age difference between the firstborn children and the firstborn children of Dong'er girls. ”
"How many years can you be missing?" Li Mingshuo's aunt was concerned and curious.
The princess thought for a moment and said, "Xiangshi has been talking about it for more than ten years. ”
Mother Li said to herself: "In this way, the eldest of our family still has the blessing of having a son?" ”
The princess carefully recalled what the princess had said, nodded a little uncertainly, and said uncertainly: "If the children are separated by more than ten years, they can almost be regarded as old children." She comforted her mother-in-law and said: "But don't worry, mother, Xiangshi also said that before the horse master went to the field, both children and daughters were all right, as long as we people do our best, if nothing goes wrong, we can't go wrong." ”
Dong'er looked at Mrs. Li and asked Ning An in a daze: "Princess, have you really counted my birthday?" ”
Princess Ning'an tried her best to keep her words like gold in front of Dong'er, and she didn't speak, but nodded very affirmatively.
Dong'er asked seriously and confusedly: "Then what have I been busy with in the past ten years without children?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the idle old ladies, but even Princess Ning'an couldn't help but laugh.
They all felt that Princess Ning'an's carefully selected gift was like a beautiful joke, silly, flustered, and confused.
Everyone just smiled, and no one cared about Dong'er's confused expression.
The princess couldn't help laughing, took out the style of the lady of the main room to reprimand the concubine, and said righteously: "How can I ask such a question, women's Taoist family, don't specialize in needlework, what else do you want to be busy with?" ”
Dong'er was silent.
The servants began to serve food, and since pregnancy, Dong'er's nose has become more than that of the cat Turin. She smelled the smell of oil and meat in the meal, and suddenly she was very nauseous, and she was about to vomit again, she hurriedly got up and left the table, and the girl next to Mrs. Li Xing'er hurriedly helped her to vomit in a remote place.
After a while, Xing'er ran back to the old lady worriedly: "Old lady, Miss Wan vomited so much that she was about to vomit bile, and she said that she couldn't stand the smell of the food on this table, so she asked me to come back and tell the princess and the ladies not to wait for her, she didn't want to eat." ”
Mother Li was very worried, so she asked Ning An: "Princess, is there any reliable person to serve this child?" ”
Princess Ning'an thought for a while and said, "Now there are only two young girls waiting, don't worry, mother, I'll find an older one to serve in the future." I've got people on my side. ”
Mother Li said: "It's better not to bother the princess, this older subordinate should find one himself." ”
After speaking, Mother Li beckoned to the ladies at a table and said, "We won't wait for that girl, let's hurry up and eat the food." ”
Everyone forgot about the young girl who was used as a birthday present for a moment and began to eat.
Li Moge took the time to take a look at the female dependents, but did not find Dong'er who was dining with everyone, afraid that she would be uneasy, and then tried to get close to Yang Boqing, inquired everywhere, asked everywhere, and found her temporarily resting in the room of the eldest girl Fangcao beside the old lady.
At that time, Dong'er had been lying down for a while, and the eldest girl Fangcao saw that she had stopped vomiting and began to be sleepy again, so she arranged for a young girl to serve in the house, and Fangcao turned around and went back to serve the old lady.
Li Moge originally wanted to knock on the door, call the little girl out, and bring in the things he brought.
Dong'er's five senses were sensitive, and she recognized the sound of Mo Ge's footsteps, raised her head and whispered tentatively: "Mo Ge? ”
Li Moge had to reply: "It's me, girl." I heard you didn't eat, so I came over to see how you were doing. Girl, aren't you hungry at all? Just let me know if you're hungry. ”
"Mogo, I want to eat oranges and hawthorn cakes."
"I've brought them all."
"I also want to drink mushroom soup."
"Do you want it to be sour, spicy, and salty?"
"Yes."
"Girl, you wait a while, I'll go and bring you a bowl now."
When the little girl brought the mushroom soup brought by Li Moge to Dong'er, the hairpin confiscated by Li Moge had been placed next to the spoon in the tray, and it had recovered its original smooth hairpin and would not hurt anyone.
