Chapter 96: Eruption
Ling Xiao has been for more than 20 years, what it is like to really feel flustered and worried, he desperately carried Yun Xiu back to the small house, and when he wanted to enter the house, he was stopped at the door by two mothers-in-law.
"Little Hou Ye, it is unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room, you go to other rooms first, etc., the midwife will be there soon."
Ling Xiao couldn't sit still, how could he be in the mood to wait in the house, he changed his coat, asked someone to move a circle chair, and sat in the courtyard to wait.
The housekeeper brought the soup lady and kindly reminded, "Master Hou, it is approaching the second half of the night, the cold is deep, you warm your hands first, and the slave will bring the charcoal basin over." “
"No," Ling Xiao waved his hand, he was running around for half a night, sweating hot, "You go to the door and watch, the midwife comes and goes directly into the house." “
The steward's mother-in-law took the order.
The midwife didn't arrive long, and after entering the house, Yun Xiu's painful cries gradually became more frequent.
Ling Xiao wanted to go in and have a look several times, but was stopped by the housekeeper, "The eldest grandmother is the first child, it is normal to take some effort, you will only distract the eldest grandmother when you go in, she can't be distracted now." Little Marquis. “
"When is she going to give birth?" Ling Xiao felt that life was like a year, and walked back and forth under the corridor, "Go, invite a few more midwives to come!" “
The housekeeper's mother-in-law was helpless, "There are long and short times for women to give birth, there are smooth, and there are unpleasant, it is useless for you to be in a hurry, the slave dares to ask, do you want to send someone to tell the county lord?" In the past few days, Kang's mother has sent someone to ask questions every day, saying that the county lord's mother means that when the child is born, she will be taken back to the Hou Mansion immediately, and the nurse will be invited. “
Ling Xiao was very conflicted, and he couldn't make up his mind. It's not that I'm afraid of Lord Pingkang, but the old marquis has spoken, so I have to be cautious.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said to the housekeeper's mother-in-law: "Go to the Hou Mansion to report that the eldest grandmother is about to give birth." “
As soon as the words fell, the midwife lifted the curtain from the house and said to the housekeeper anxiously: "Mom, you can prepare some ginseng soup, the oldest ginseng is better." “
When the housekeeper heard this, her face changed, she said yes, turned around to leave, and was stopped by Ling Xiao.
"What do you do with ginseng soup?" And the older the better, he doesn't understand women giving birth, but he knows that ginseng soup has the effect of hanging life. "Say, what's going on?"
Yun Xiu's scream came out again, and Ling Xiao's heart trembled when he heard it, and he roared, "Say! “
The midwife was startled, and said like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "Master Hou, grandma's first birth, it is a rush, the fetal position is not very good, and the ginseng soup is prepared, are you afraid of what happens?"
"What if? What in case of what?! Ling Xiao was afraid to respond to the sentence "A woman gives birth to a child is a ghost gate", and at the moment, he couldn't wait to squeeze his lungs and hearts to his throat together, "There is no case today, you are useless and can't save people, there is only a dead end." “
Who is not afraid of death, the midwife immediately assured: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the women are fighting for this old life, and they will also ensure the safety of the grandmother, mother and child!" “
The housekeeper's mother-in-law gave the midwife a look, turned her head and persuaded Ling Xiao again: "Master Hou, the slave will give you a warm pot of wine, you can drink some and ease up." “
Ling Xiao raised his finger and motioned to go down.
After a while, the housekeeper brought the wine pot and wine cup, and whispered: "Master Hou, the slave and maid tell the truth, don't be angry." “
"You say."
"Master Hou, the two midwives invited are both experienced veterans," the housekeeper said thoughtfully, "The slave doesn't dare to curse grandma is not good, but the big grandma is here, you have a preparation in your heart, in case as the midwife said, keep the big and the small, you have to make a decision." “
"Paula-sama." Ling Xiao replied without hesitation, he thought that he and Yun Xiu could be reborn when they were young.
But if Yun Xiu is gone, he doesn't dare to think about it??
The housekeeper's mother-in-law sighed, "The slave is called the kitchen to prepare ginseng soup." “
"Slow," Ling Xiao thought for a moment, and took out a beast head jade plaque engraved with the word "loyalty" from his arms, "Take this, and immediately invite Imperial Doctor Ye to come." “
The mother-in-law received the order, called the little maid, carried the jade card, and left quickly in the night.
Ling Xiao drank a pot of wine to no avail, and paced back and forth under the corridor in a hurry, just listening to the midwife in the house asking Yun Xiu to eat and drink, maintain her strength, and adjust her breathing.
He couldn't imagine the situation in the house, and his heart rose and fell with Yun Xiu's cry.
After about a cup of tea, the little guy who went out hurriedly came back, with a young man behind him.
Ling Xiao stared at the other party, frowned and asked, "I'm looking for Imperial Doctor Ye, are you Imperial Doctor Ye?" “
The young man bowed his hand, and said in a warm voice respectfully: "The villain An Entong asked the Hou Ye to say goodbye, yesterday the Empress Dowager was ill, and the teacher entered the palace overnight, and has not returned so far, the villain dares to ask the teacher for the doctor, dare to ask the patient is Mrs?" “
Isn't this nonsense, Ling Xiao snorted: "You see me like a patient?" “
An Entong said tepidly: "Master Hou is angry, and the villain is just asking for a doctor as usual." “
After speaking, he asked the housekeeper to ask a few words, and said to Ling Xiao again: "The villain first prescribes a decoction to his wife to induce labor, although the medicine is fierce, but it is for the emergency disease of the mother, but after taking the medicine for a quarter of an hour, it is necessary to participate in the soup to stabilize the mother's qi and blood, otherwise it is very easy to cause a blood collapse, please show the Hou Ye." “
"Hurry up and do it." Ling Xiao felt that this person was a nerd and stupid, but he didn't know the way of medicine, so he could only be a dead horse doctor and call a small servant, "Take Dr. An to the North House to meet guests, and obey orders at any time." “
After An Entong entered the house, he put down the medicine box, took a pen and paper to write down the prescription, and asked his subordinates to go to Jiu'an Hall to grab the medicine immediately.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was white, the green plants were hung with frost beads, and the morning mist was like a thin veil, enveloping the entire capital.
Kang's mother heard the movement of getting up in the main house, so she knocked on the door and went in, and told the county lord of Pingkang the news that she had been pressed for half a night: "County lord's mother, grandma has a seizure at night." “
Lord Pingkang suddenly came to his senses: "Born?!" “
"Probably not," said Kang's mother in a low voice, "if she is born, she should come to report the good news." “
The county lord of Pingkang was a little disappointed, continued to wash, and remembered when he combed his hair: "It was a night attack, why did you report it now?" “
Kang's mother seemed to be prepared, "The slave didn't dare to disturb you when she saw you asleep, and besides, you gave birth to three sons, and they all survived, and the eldest grandmother only suffered once, how can there be a woman in the world who is not guilty, even if the noble concubine in the palace is the master, it is the same, do you say yes." “
"That's right." Lord Pingkang nodded, and asked again, "Does the old marquis know?" “
Kang's mother said: "The old marquis slept in the study yesterday. Without your permission, the minions dare not call people to the front yard. “
"You still know the cold and the hot," Lord Pingkang smiled with great satisfaction, "After breakfast in a while, call someone to the front yard to spread the word." “
Mother Kang responded, and took out a stack of square notes from her sleeve pocket, and presented them with both hands: "County Lord Niangniang, this is handed in after the locks of each courtyard are unlocked in the morning, saying that Miss Qin sent the girl next to her to send it to the corner door inverted seat hall at dawn, especially for you." “
Lord Pingkang thought this girl was interesting, and took the note, "This kid, what's the matter, it's so mysterious." “
But when she opened it, the smile on her face faded away, replaced by surprise, anger and bewilderment.
"What can Miss Qin bring?" Lord Pingkang threw the note on the ground and asked with a squint.
Kang's mother shook her head, "Her girl said a few words for Miss Qin, saying that she asked the county lord's mother to look at General Qin's face and keep it secret for Miss Qin. “
"Okay, I know, change clothes, go to the small house." Lord Pingkang looked gloomy, "I'll handle this matter personally." “
"It's not too late for you to leave after breakfast," Kang's mother reassured, "and you can't get along with your body if you are angry." “
Lord Pingkang was angry and said: "This time, how can I be in the mood to eat!" “
Mother Kang followed the county lord out of the house, and said in the carriage: "County lord mother, the slave still has something to explain, about the eldest grandmother." “
Lord Pingkang suppressed his anger and asked, "What else is going on?" “
Kang's mother added fuel to the fire: "The eldest grandmother is outside, and the heart and eyes stay in the house, and arrange for the girl who is sprinkled and swept in the little marquis's yard to do eyeliner, and take eight more cents of broken silver every month, no wonder the little marquis got angry for no reason last time to punish the slaves, it turned out that there was a mouse." “
"What about the girl?" Lord Pingkang asked sharply, "Have you disposed of it?" “
"No, the minion is waiting for you to show me." Kang's mother whispered, "The slave locked people in the firewood room and beat them, so they are honest." “
"Let's keep it shut up for now." Lord Pingkang snorted coldly, "Deal with the same." There is no hurry. “
When she arrived at the small house, the first rays of sunlight in the east pierced through the clouds, shining on the earth, removing filth and filth, and coating everything like gold, warm but not dazzling.
Yun Xiu temporarily stored his last strength, and after several hours of labor pain, he desperately gave birth to the first grandson of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion.
The child cries loudly and comes to the world by stepping on the newborn sun, symbolizing the purple air coming from the east.
The midwife came out to announce the good news, "It's born!" Raw! It's a little boy! “
All the faces were happy.
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he remember that the Lord of Pingkang was still standing under the corridor.
"Mother, it's cold outside, let's go to the North House and sit." He smiled and said, "I'll go into the house and see Xiuxiu." “
"You are not allowed to go anywhere," the county lord of Pingkang ordered with a cold face, and looked at the steward again, "What do you have in your hand?" “
The housekeeper's mother-in-law: "If you go back to the county lord's mother, it is ginseng soup." “
"What kind of ginseng soup do you drink?" The lord of Pingkang County did not allow his mother-in-law to enter the house, "A woman gives birth to a child is to break through the ghost gate, she can break through, but she can't break through the Ling family to bury her scenery, and she still has the dignity of Mrs. Houfu." In addition, if the child is taken away, how can my eldest grandson be raised by the side of a woman with a vicious mind. “
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Ling Xiao couldn't believe his ears, "Mother, what are you talking about, do you know?" “
"Of course I know what I'm talking about." The county lord of Pingkang walked in front of Ling Xiao and said bitterly. "Son, mother is all good for you, you can't be this woman??"
Before she finished speaking, An Entong came out of the curtain and asked eagerly: "Little Marquis, why hasn't the ginseng soup arrived?" “
Ling Xiao looked at the housekeeper: "Why are you still stunned!" “
Lord Pingkang raised his voice, "No one is allowed to move without my permission!" “
Ling Xiao didn't care about being filial or not, so he directly snatched the bowl from the hand of the housekeeper and stuffed it to An Entong, "Less!" Hurry up and save people! “
"You!" Lord Pingkang didn't expect his son to openly disobey, and his fingertips trembled and pointed at him, "You are a woman, even your mother dares to contradict him?!" Isn't it the other way around?! There are so many women in the world, you just love this unsympathetic and unrighteous woman, and you will suffer in the future! “
"Yun Xiu is not the kind of person you say." Ling Xiao didn't know what gossip the county lord of Pingkang heard, "It was my son who was bent on bringing her back to the capital from Yangzhou, and everything was my son's fault. “
"You're still protecting her!" The lord of Pingkang County was so angry that he couldn't stand steadily, sat on the stool under the porch, and said sharply, "You are blind and deaf to me!" Why is Yun Xiu in a hurry at night? Why? You come one by one! If you don't understand, I'll tell your father everything I know, and ask your father to decide!" “
"The incident happened suddenly at night, and the specific reason is being investigated by my son," Ling Xiao frowned, "As for the father's side, the son will go and say it in person, and the mother will not bother." “
"Are you afraid to say it, or do you not want to say it?" Lord Pingkang laughed angrily, "I'm afraid that when I come to your father, I will have to protect the women in the house." “
"Mother, what's wrong with Yun Xiu, it's worth your anger and not even your life?" Ling Xiao looked at her puzzled, "Child, you want to take it away, my son doesn't dare to complain, but she is always your grandson's biological mother, you don't want to see her, it's a big deal that I have been living in a small house with her and is not in your way, why are you aggressive." “
"How much ecstasy soup did Yun Xiu pour you, this son will say that your mother is not!" The county lord of Pingkang got up and raised his hand, slapped Ling Xiao in the face, and felt distressed after the beating, "Son, my mother is confused, I shouldn't have beaten you, do you hurt?" “
She wanted to touch Ling Xiao's face, but Ling Xiao avoided it: "Mother, this slap, my son hopes that you will be angry, don't get along with Yun Xiu anymore, my son doesn't want to see her sad face all day long, which makes me feel bad." “
As he spoke, he sighed, "Go back, take the child away, I'm tired all night, I want to go into the house to see people, and then go to the meeting." The son will not give it away. “
"Okay, it seems that you are determined to be towards outsiders," the county lord of Pingkang said with a gloomy face, "I will put my words down today, the Ling family can't tolerate vicious people, Yun Xiu in order to take revenge on her seventh sister, when people are terminally ill, find someone to defile and not say, and when they are about to go, they will run to fall into the well, and their thoughts are really terrible." “
"Where did you get the news?" Ling Xiao finally understood, "Who gave you eye medicine to sow discord?" “
"You don't have to know where I got the news from," Lord Pingkang looked at his son's expression and confirmed seven or eight points, "I just ask you, when you find someone to come back, is there a man in the house?" Can Yun Xiu's seventh sister be present? “
Even knowing the details, Ling Xiao squinted, thinking about the people present at night, who was the informant: "You know it in detail, since you know it, why did you come here?" You're not a father, and you're not as calm as his old man. “
As he spoke, he looked coldly at Mother Kang on the side, "What you said, you suppressed the news, I said how to find someone to spread it, but my mother didn't come for a long time." “
"You don't make mistakes, don't embarrass Kang's mother," the county lord of Pingkang knew from Ling Xiao's expression that his son was angry, "She suppressed the news because she was afraid of disturbing my rest." “
"That's right, you've always slept less, and it's rare to get a good rest." Ling Xiao said, Yu Guang swept to the empty wine jar in the corner of the courtyard, walked over unhurriedly, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to pick it up and smashed it directly at Kang's mother.
Before the group could react, they heard a miserable scream from Kang's mother, bleeding from her forehead, falling backwards and fainting.
"What are you doing!" The county lord of Pingkang was frightened, and asked someone to hurry up to send Kang's mother home, "What are you messing with!" She is the same age as her mother, how can she withstand bumps, such a big wine jar, you want people's lives! “
"A minion, if you die, you die!" Ling Xiao erupted, "You can't even tolerate your daughter-in-law if you protect your subordinates?!" Could it be that Yun Xiu is not as good as a slave?! If her son likes her, he spoils her! I don't want to stuff you into a house with all that stuff! You're satisfied! “
"And Yun Xiu killed her seventh sister, when her son rescued her, her feet were tied and she couldn't escape, have you ever seen herself trapped in the well?" As he spoke, he yelled at the housekeeper, "Take the child out and give it to the county lord!" Send her old man home! “
Lord Pingkang's eyes widened and he looked at him unexpectedly, "You're driving me away?!" You've grown so big, who's with you? Who doesn't worry about you day and night? Now you don't even recognize your mother for a woman, a beauty trick, a bitter trick will put you in, you are blind and blinded, and you join outsiders to deal with your mother! “
"Okay, good, good," Lord Pingkang trembled with anger, "You said that what I was looking for was all inconsistencies, this time my mother will find you a serious girl, and I will discuss it with your father when I go back this time, and you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree." “
After speaking, he asked someone to hold the child and leave quickly.
Yun Xiu was extremely tired, she was woken up while asleep, she heard the quarrel outside intermittently, heard the main child in Pingkang County, Ling Xiao also agreed to take the child, she was full of unwillingness and helplessness, and she couldn't wake up again.
She slept dimly, and the next day she woke up, she saw Ling Xiao lying next to her, holding her hand, and she was also asleep.
"Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao," Yun Xiu whispered to wake him up, "Sleep on the bed, comfortable." “
"No, I won't squeeze you." Ling Xiao opened his eyes and looked at her. closed his eyes again, "I'll sleep again, you can sleep too, the child was taken away by the mother, I want to take it away, stop it, you can rest assured." “
"That's what you're going to do?" Yun Xiu sighed, "I can't sleep, you can talk to me." “
"What do you want to say?" Ling Xiaoqiang opened his eyes with spirit, "You say, I'll listen." “
Yun Xiu moved in, insisted that he lie on the bed, leaned into his arms and said, "The hour the child was born, I thought of it." The red sun rises in the east, and the glow is dyed in the green mountain robe, and then I think of the child's name, in the "Analects", Huan, Mingye, the meaning of fire, the sun belongs to fire, how about calling Ling Huan? As for the small print, I haven't thought about it yet. “
Ling Xiao was so sleepy, "Ling Huan, remember, I'll tell my father in the afternoon, and his old man will agree." “
Yun Xiu was a little excited: "Father-in-law agrees, will you go to the family tree according to this name?" “
Ling Xiao snorted, "What do you want?" “
"I don't want how." Yun Xiu's voice was begging, "I want to see my son, okay?" “
"After a while," Ling Xiao didn't want to discuss this topic, "my mother is angry, wait for her to be angry." “
Yun Xiu knew what Pingkang County was angry about, and his expression darkened, "Is it that I won't be able to see the child in the future?" “
"No," Ling Xiao felt anxious, "Don't think nonsense, or when your body is well, we will have another one, but according to my thoughts, I don't want you to give birth, at least not for this year or two." “
Yun Xiu was in pain in the house, and he was frightened outside, and he was about to shed his skin.
"But I just want to see the kids." Yun Xiu's heart was all about his son, "I was so tired yesterday, the midwife washed and wrapped the child, from beginning to end, I didn't even know what he looked like." “
"I didn't look at it either." Ling Xiao was angry at the moment, and now he remembered, "I'll go back to the house in the afternoon, take a look at you, and come back to tell you what it looks like." “
"Can you say something in tune?" Yun Xiu didn't have the strength to worry about him, "My eyeballs didn't grow on your face, you saw it, but I didn't see it." “
"Sleep, sleep." Ling Xiao thought she had a lot of trouble, "You only slept for a day, worry less, think less, talk less, hurry up and shut up and rest." “
"But I just miss my son," Yun Xiu pillowed his arm, obediently closed his eyes, and whispered, "I want to think about it very much, I want it very much." “
Ling Xiao knew that there was nothing to do, he wanted to have three people in a room, and two died, Yun Xiu was only afraid that he would not be able to argue.
In the afternoon, after he finished explaining to his mother-in-law, he rode back to the Hou Mansion alone.
Ling Xiao went to the front yard to find the old marquis first, the small courtyard of the study was very quiet, and the little man said that the old man and the county lord were in the backyard.
Presumably the grandson is back. The old couple was happy.
Ling Xiao went to the backyard again, and when he stood under the porch, he heard the laughter coming from the house.
The lord of Pingkang County was rarely upset, and said happily: "This child, born half a month prematurely, but the son came out early, I look at the white and tender, small face like a child, not to mention how happy, the cry is also loud, eat and sleep, and Brother Xiao was carved out of a mold when he was a child." “
"Father, mother." Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Ling Xiao lifted the cotton curtain and came in, "My son came to see the child." “
"Don't you want to accompany and spoil Yunxiu? What kind of child are you going to see," Lord Pingkang smiled. said with a cold face, "The child is asleep, you are rude, don't make him cry." “
"Ling Xiao, look at the child, come to my study." The old marquis got up, and when the two passed by, he patted Ling Xiao's shoulder, "Don't make your mother angry again." “
Ling Xiao said yes, he went into the back room to look at the little baby in the cradle, except for being tightly wrapped, he didn't see the ugly child, so he withdrew, said hello to the lord of Pingkangjun, and went directly to the study.
The house was warm, the finches in the birdcage were dancing happily, and the old marquis fed millet to a starling, so he heard Ling Xiao come in and call "father".
"Sit down." After feeding one, the old marquis went to feed the other, and said slowly, "Now that I am also a father, the beloved son of my parents has far-reaching plans, what are your plans?" You can't live like before. “
"Father taught me a lesson." Ling Xiao knew that it was not a common thing for the old marquis to find him alone, so he took the initiative to speak, "About Yun Xiu, my mother should have told you, my son is not protecting anyone, I just want to say that things are not what my mother heard, and Xiuxiu is not that kind of person." “
After listening to this, the old marquis was silent except for feeding the birds.
Ling Xiao didn't know what the old man was thinking, so he simply said bluntly, "My son doesn't have much interest, he just wants a peaceful family home, and wholeheartedly maintains the face of the loyal and righteous marquis for the Ling family, and protects the family business for future generations." “
"It's good that you're going to be so good." The old marquis said, "There are many deviant things to do, and there are a set of scenes, I only ask you, are you going to break up and not come back?" “
Ling Xiao: "Back." “
"When?"
"Wait for Xiuxiu to finish her confinement." Delaying a day is a day, Ling Xiao thought, "It's too cold, she can't be cold." “
"Okay, I promise you." The old marquis said briskly, "You have to promise me one thing, otherwise I will ask someone to move Yun Xiu back tomorrow." “
