Chapter 68: Who's the Child
The construction of the new house is nearing completion, and then the green plants, furniture, and all kinds of decorative objects will be sent to the house tomorrow.
The old lady deliberately let Yun Xiu start to learn to be a housekeeper, Mother Fang selected someone from the Ya Pozi, and Chunliu was the big girl in charge, and she didn't dare to slack off.
Yun Xiu checked the purchase orders for the morning, and the dense records were dizzy.
"I'll go to bed." She felt that she was too tired and lazy, so she lay down on the couch with her clothes folded and said, "Call me when lunch comes," and squinted.
Chunliu saw that she was sleeping soundly, so she sent away the little girl who delivered the food box, and told the kitchen to heat up first, and then send it when the girl woke up.
However, Yun Xiu slept until the end of the night, and when she woke up, she was hungry and panicked, and asked Chunliu, "Why don't you call me." β
"Girl, the slave maid saw that you rarely slept soundly these times, so she made her own decisions," Chunliu fanned on the side, sighing, "The newly bought mother-in-law said that the capital was not so hot in previous years, and this year I don't know how, like a big steamer, it is better to stay in Yangzhou to be cool." β
Unlucky weather, there is still work to be done.
Yun Xiu also felt impetuous, shaking her neckline and fanning the wind, "Finish things early, rest early." β
As he spoke, he felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath. She covered her heart and frowned, sweat oozing from the corners of her forehead, and she didn't know whether it was empty or hot.
"Girl, girl, are you alright?" Chunliu was frightened, and hurriedly brought the black plum soup to relieve the heat, and asked her to drink two sips, "It's too hot, don't get the heat stroke, or don't go out of the house tomorrow, the slave and Fang's mother run errands, and get things done." β
Yun Xiu took two sips, and his palpitations gradually calmed down, "I can't leave the house, but you have to order the purchase order." Mother Fang is not young anymore, you are clever in everything, and grandmother is indispensable to her. β
Chunliu said that she knew, and said with concern: "Girl, Doctor Ye will give the old lady a follow-up examination, you should also go and get a pulse, the slave maid sees that you are not in good spirits for a while." β
"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Yun Xiu didn't take it too seriously, "It's hot, I can't sleep well, I can't adapt to the water and soil, and I can't bear the iron body, I envy you, you can eat and sleep well." β
"Girl, you're scolding a slave," Chunliu sneered. "You look at the purchase list during the day, and reconcile the account books at night, the slave and maid are stupid, and they can only do errand work, without your hard work, and without your energy."
The girl's body is a girl's life, and the young lady's body is naturally delicate.
Yun Xiu was full, removed the dishes and chopsticks, began to reconcile the accounts again, and then went to the palm lamp, ate a bowl of lotus seed soup and slept at night.
It's rare that she didn't wake up one night, but the chaotic dream didn't stop, during which she woke up twice, and after falling asleep, she continued to dream, a big python with a thick bowl mouth ran with her, a little careless, the snake body was entangled, and the hissing sound above her head came from far and near.
Yun Xiu was most afraid of snakes, struggled hard, and suddenly woke up, and the sheets on his body had been kicked to the ground.
She got up and eased up for a long time, feeling that she had gone to hell.
If I go down again, the sun can't get up.
Chunliu called a few times, and when she saw that people didn't like to move, she was a little scared, so she hurriedly reported to Fang's mother and asked Imperial Doctor Ye to come over and take a look at the eighth girl in a while.
Doctor Ye was prescribing a prescription and said to the student carrying the medicine box next to him, "Entong, you go and have a look." β
The student responded, put down the box, and exited with Chunliu.
Chunliu talked about the general symptoms and asked politely, "What do you call Childe?" β
"The contemptible person's surname is Ann," Ann replied shyly, "I wonder who the patient is?" β
Chunliu opened the curtain for him, "It's my eighth girl, I'll trouble Dr. An for a while, my girl has been angry lately, and she doesn't like to make noises, you see, the knowledge in the yard has been caught." β
Ahn nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know. β
Yun Xiu slept in a daze, and felt someone sitting down next to the bed, through the curtain, and covered her wrist with a veil to support her pulse.
The other party's movements were very light, his attitude was very hesitant, and he took the pulse twice before asking, "Girl, forgive me for taking the liberty of being rash, in addition to tiredness, boredom, and occasional chest tightness in the past few days, is there any other discomfort?" β
"Nope." Yun Xiu's voice was lazy, and he heard that the other party was Yangzhou dialect, so he couldn't help but be a little kind, "The doctor is also from Yangzhou City?" β
The other party replied with a smile, "The contemptible person is from Huai'an, and he has studied in Yangzhou for several years." β
After a pause, there was a hint of loneliness in his voice, "It's a pity that I didn't have a relationship with the girl, but the girl hasn't seen a contemptible person, so I'm afraid I won't remember it for a long time." β
After saying that, he got up and left in a hurry.
probably felt that it was inappropriate, and said nervously outside the porch: "Aunt, the girl is fine, the contemptible person prescribes some conditioning prescriptions, just eat two pairs." β
Then Chunliu's voice sounded: "Doctor An, what are you running, your consultation money!" Dr. Ann??"
Yun Xiu was lying on the bed listening to the movement outside and couldn't cry or laugh, and all the strange things she encountered her.
Chunliu also complained when he entered the house: "Girl, Dr. An's face is thinner than the girl's house, he will check your pulse, his neck and face are red, and he can run faster than a rabbit." β
Yun Xiu always felt that what she said just now had a deep meaning, "This Doctor An, do we know each other?" β
Chunliu sighed, "Girl, you forgot, when I was in Yangzhou, the old lady of the Ye family came to say goodbye, and at that time, it was Sister Chuntao who was serving you, and the slave maid served tea to the old ladies twice under Mother Fang." β
Yun Xiu suddenly realized: "Imperial Doctor Ye's protΓ©gΓ© is this Doctor An?" β
Chunliu said, "On the day of the trip, the sixth girl went, and you and the seventh girl didn't go. β
Yun Xiu remembered that at that time, she was entangled with Ling Xiao, and the family business she talked about with the Ye family was over.
"Shouldn't Dr. An be in Yangzhou? How did you come to Yanjing? β
"Girl, you only have Master Hou in your eyes, how can you tolerate others." Chunliu quipped, "Dr. Ren'an specially came to the capital from Yangzhou to renew the relationship with you." β
"Nonsense." Yun Xiu lifted the curtain and threw out a soft pillow, "No wonder the Hou Ye asked me to send you to marry some time ago, Diao slave." β
"Girl, my good girl," Chunliu picked up the soft pillow and stepped forward to flatter, "You must not send the slave and maid away, otherwise there will be a Beijing-accented girl, who will accompany you to talk to yourself." β
Yun Xiu poked her forehead, "You have a thick skin." β
Chunliu smiled and waited for her to wash, and breakfast was still hot. Yun Xiu warned while eating: "What is the continuation of the frontier, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in a girl's family if you talk nonsense." β
Chunliu nodded, "But girl, the slave didn't joke with you, Dr. An saw you in Yangzhou, and you were kept in the dark." β
"Seen me?" Yun Xiu looked over, "Where is it?" How I am not impressed. β
Chunliu said: "The old lady fell ill in Yangzhou, and the doctor from Jiu'an Hall came to see her, and Dr. An accompanied her. β
At that time, Hui Shoutang was in chaos, and Yun Xiu naturally didn't pay attention to the comer, but what if he came to the capital now?
She sighed lightly, "I know, you pay more attention to what you talk on weekdays, especially when the Hou Ye is here, don't mention the affairs of Yangzhou, you know?" β
lest the dog lose his temper and go mad again.
Chunliu nodded repeatedly.
In the afternoon, the Beijing branch of Jiu'an Hall sent a course of medicine, an ordinary qi and blood replenishment formula.
Yun Xiu drinks every day, there is no big improvement, that is, he sleeps well at night, his appetite is also opened, he can eat and sleep every day, and his thin pointed face is obviously round.
Ling Xiao thought that she was thinking about it tightly, so she took the time to make an appointment to go to the play, and when she saw someone in the carriage, her eyes were crooked.
"What Cheng Zi eats this time, he raises it like red and white." He couldn't wait to kiss her hard, and he didn't get too hot, so he hugged her and sat on his lap, "It's getting heavier." β
"Can you speak?" Yun Xiu leaned lazily on him, "How can anyone say that a girl is fat." β
"I don't dislike it." Ling Xiao bit her earlobe, "Go to the small mansion tonight, I'll rest tomorrow." β
"I don't want to go." Yun Xiu closed his eyes and said, "Grandmother wants me to learn to be a housekeeper, there are many things to do in the new house, and I can't go anywhere, otherwise they will find out." β
Even if you are married, you can't sleep in a bed.
Ling Xiao didn't give up: "Really don't go?" β
Yun Xiu shook his head and said weakly, "Even if you endure this for a while for me, you are afraid that you will not get tired of sleeping when you get married." β
"Not tired." Ling Xiao lowered his head and kissed him, finding that the person in his arms was confused, and lowered his voice, "Tired?" β
"Well, the carriage is rocking, I want to take a nap." Yun Xiu leaned on his shoulder. The voice became smaller and quieter, "I've been feeling tired for a while, and it's useless to recuperate??"
Ling Xiao hugged her all the way, and then to the opera garden, Yun Xiu watched half of the play, and squinted again, responding to "spring sleepiness, autumn and summer nap", it was not yet winter, she couldn't wake up in advance.
"If you're tired, just rest well, and you don't have to accompany me." On the way back, he touched her face distressedly, "If you don't want to go to the small house, don't go." β
Yun Xiu nodded, "I'll compensate you when I'm done with the new house." β
As he spoke, he raised his head and kissed Ling Xiao's cheek, turned around and got out of the car.
In the next five or six days, the front yard and back garden of the new house will have a new look, and some of the finishing touches will be left for Fang's mother to deal with.
Yun Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood was much better, and she asked Chunliu to accompany her for supper at night.
Chunliu finished eating first and made the bed for her, Qi Er thought of something, turned his head and asked, "Girl, you haven't come to the menstrual affairs this month?" β
Yun Xiu's heart sank, "What day is it today?" β
"Sixteen," Chunliu looked at her with some concern, "Isn't Dr. An's medicine bad?" β
"He's a protΓ©gΓ© of Imperial Physician Ye, no." Yun Xiu had a very bad premonition, she didn't come to the menstrual period last month, Chunliu asked, she fooled and said that she was not suitable for changing the territory, and then this month it was time to come, "I'll go to Jiu'an Hall tomorrow to see, you follow me, don't make a noise everywhere." β
"Slaves and maids certainly don't talk nonsense." Chunliu thought about what happened to the eight girls recently, and she was suspicious.
The next day, Jiu'an Hall.
An En entered the pharmacy with the front foot, and Yun Xiu arrived with the back foot.
"I'm looking for Dr. An." She hesitated for a moment and asked the man, "Is he there?" β
The man said yes, and told Ann to come out.
"Cloud, Cloud Girl?" His eyes widened, surprised and overwhelmed, "You, what are you looking for me?" See? Fill? I, I??"
Chunliu couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said, "Doctor An, my girl wants to ask you something." β
"Oh, good, good!" An Entong turned around and ran to open the curtain, "There are many people in the pharmacy, what do you have to say in the backyard." β
Yun Xiu chuckled at him: "There is Dr. Lao An." β
An Entong suddenly turned red from his neck to the root of his ears, and he was so hot that he was about to smoke.
Yun Xiu had no other intention to find him, "I suddenly came to visit today and wanted to confirm something with Dr. An." β
She said, giving Chunliu a look.
Chunliu immediately took out a gold bar from his arms and put it in front of An Entong.
An Entong was stunned, and hurriedly prevaricated: "Miss Yun, the doctor is benevolent, I saw the teacher that day, and the girl is fine, and she can't receive a penny." β
Yun Xiu smiled and said to Chunliu, "You go and grab the medicine first, and I'll come to you later." β
She broke away and talked to An Entong alone, An Entong became more nervous, and stumbled and asked, "What does the girl want to confirm?" β
Yun Xiu glanced at the gold bar, "Doctor An accepts this point, and I will explain it again." β
An Entong looked at her, then at the gold bar, hesitated for a while, and held the gold bar in his hand, "Can you say it now?" β
Yun Xiu stretched out his left hand, "Please ask Dr. An to review." β
An En looked at her in embarrassment: "Miss Yun, I can't see a doctor in private without the teacher's permission." β
"I'm not going to tell anyone." Yun Xiu assured, "Dr. An accepted the gold bars and knew the rules of Jiu'an Hall. β
An Entong sighed helplessly, first probed the pulse of his left hand, then probed the pulse of his right hand, and then went to his left hand, frowned, and muttered, "Impossible, impossible." β
Yun Xiu asked, "Doctor An, what is impossible?" β
An En was at a loss, but she really didn't know how to speak, so she knocked on the side and asked, "Miss Yun, are you married?" β
Yun Xiu nodded: "It's a marriage, and the wedding date is scheduled for the beginning of spring next year." β
"That's it," An Entong smiled wryly, "I don't know how to learn, I didn't dare to be sure of the girl's pulse last time, this time??"
He took a deep breath, calmed the dull pain in his heart, and said word by word, "The girl's left inch of heart is pulsating, which is a sign of joy." β
Even if he was ready, Yun Xiu was still stunned for a long time about this result, and after a while, he came back to his senses and asked in a low voice, "How many months?" β
An Entong said: "There are more than two months. β
She knew it, she knew it!
Yun Xiu was all about Ling Xiao at the moment.
Seeing the anger in her eyes, An Entong tried to comfort: "Miss Yun, this matter is not a child's play, discuss countermeasures with your fiancΓ© as soon as possible." β
What to discuss?
Is it to worship heaven and earth with a big belly in the spring, or to reverse the scales of the lord of Pingkang and change the marriage period?
Or tell the old lady to make her old man half angry?
"Dr. An, why didn't you tell me last time?" Yun Xiu's eyes were extremely cold, "What kind of medicine did you prescribe?" Is it conditioning or tocolytic? β
An Entong knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Yun, my diagnosis last time was the same as this time, but you are a girl, what do you want me to say?" At the moment, I want to hope that my ability is still shallow, and the diagnosis is wrong, and I will prescribe a prescription for you to regulate your body, even healthy people can eat it. β
Then he was conditioned, the adults were healthy, and the stomach was rooted.
Yun Xiu was furious, and said coldly: "Doctor An, you prescribe me two doses of medicine, one for abortion and one for fetus, I will find someone to pick it up in two days, remember to keep it secret, otherwise one corpse will kill you." β
After saying that, he left without looking back.
An Entong was stunned in the chair for a long time, pinching the gold bar that was covered with heat, and Er reacted and chased out.
"Yun girl, Yun girl!" He caught up with Yun Xiu's carriage, followed the car quickly, and said, "This matter is because I misdiagnosed, girl, don't think about it, I do bad things with good intentions, the girl hates me, I think I should, but don't be angry with an innocent life, Yun girl, Yun ??"
The carriage galloped away, leaving behind a puff of dust and smoke, and An Entong, who wanted to slap himself twice.
"Hey, I heard someone call Miss Yun, isn't that the man?" Li Miao's cousin passed across the street, took in the scene just now, and asked the girl next to her, "Did you see the carriage clearly?" β
"The slave also heard someone call Miss Yun," the girl Nunu mouthed, "and the nerd opposite." β
The cousin asked, "Did you hear what they said?" How can I hear what is not to anger an innocent life? β
The girl immediately understood: "The slave maid Ming'er will find someone to inquire clearly." β
??
"What do you say? Absolutely true! When Li Miao closed the door for a long time, she suddenly heard the news brought by her cousin, and almost dropped her jaw, "You, you have to be allowed to believe this time?" β
"Do I dare to say this?" The cousin put down the teacup and moved the stool over, "I'm also surprised, what a vixen, he usually behaves in front of the county lord, and he doesn't know how to hook up with the little marquis behind his back, it's just a rotten thing." β
Li Miao thought about it and felt that something was wrong, "Sister, did you say that she had Ling Xiao in her stomach?" If she should be happy, how could she ask for an abortion prescription? β
"You don't have to pursue this matter," the cousin sighed, "Jiu'antang's tone is very strict, and it took me a lot of trouble to get the news." β
As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of Li Miao's eyes, "It's better to have money, money can make ghosts grind." β
"How much, I'll pay you back now." Li Miao came over with the money box, "Only if you face me, I can't treat me badly." β
The cousin was not polite: "Fifty taels." β
"So much?" Li Miao didn't believe it, "You just stretched out a finger, how did it become fifty taels." β
The cousin picked a small ingot from the box, "Silly sister, I want you to take the money box." Besides, if you vent evil anger, fifty taels is nothing. I heard that you and Li Mu have been suppressed by Ling Xiao recently and can't raise their heads, the little uncle will never dare to offend the Hou Mansion, the aunt is weak, are you waiting for those concubines to come out of the embryo to see jokes? β
These words poked Li Miao's heart, she gritted her teeth and snorted coldly: "Do you still have to wait?" The in the backyard laughed for days. β
Some things are simmering, and they are solved in private without knowing it, but they are not simmered, and in front of everyone, they must be prepared to be spitted and even drowned by spittle.
Yun Xiu didn't know what Zhao Qingqiong was looking for her in a hurry early in the morning, and she didn't come to her boudoir courtyard, sitting in the flower hall and waiting.
"It's hot, do you still have the heart to ask me out?" She quipped, "I don't drink tea either." Not thirsty? β
"What kind of tea do I drink," Zhao Qingqiong thought she was big, "Have they been looking for you these days?" Did you hear any rumors? β
Yun Xiu didn't think about it in a bad way, "What kind of rumors?" β
"You, you." Zhao Qingqiong pulled her up, circled around, and said while watching, "This is not good, and I can't see anything." β
Yun Xiu was confused by her, and smiled: "What do you want to see?" β
Zhao Qingqiong looked left and right, leaned beside her, whispered a few words, and then asked, "Is what they said true?" β
"Yes." Yun Xiu thought that the paper couldn't contain the fire, so he simply admitted it. "But it's not as rumored, the child is Ling Xiao."
"You, you're too bold." Zhao Qingqiong looked at her in surprise, "Does your second sister know?" What about the house? β
"They don't know." Yun Xiu shook his head, "I didn't tell Ling Xiao either, I haven't figured out what to do yet." β
"What to do, what can I do," Zhao Qingqiong was more anxious than her, "You have a marriage contract, wouldn't it be good to get married quickly, the lord of Pingkang wants to hold his grandson every day, what are you worried about." β
"The county lord asked Qin Tian to supervise the date, and it is scheduled to be the beginning of spring next year, and the news has spread," Yun Xiu sat down helplessly, "Now it's a different day, what eyebrows?" I asked Mrs. Lu, who was the Duke of Dingguo, to protect the media as a girl, and I was told how to speak, didn't I slap Mrs. Lu in the face? Does my second sister have a good life after being in the Qi family? β
Zhao Qingqiong only knew one thing but didn't know the other, and when she heard her say this, she also felt embarrassed, "But if you don't say it, the Beijing circle will spread for a few more days, Ling Xiao will know sooner or later, he knows that there is no difference between Pingkang County Lord and Lord Pingkang, and it is not a matter for you to hide." β
Yun Xiu sighed heavily, "So I thought about it, in case it doesn't work, this kid??"
"Don't come here!" Zhao Qingqiong interrupted her, "I thought they said that you bought abortion pills because of false rumors, are you really prepared?" Ling Xiao wants to know that he has to go, just his virtue that he doesn't pick up??"
Halfway through the conversation, a little girl hurriedly ran to say that Zhongyi Hou was here, and she was waiting for the eighth girl to go out outside the gate.
Zhao Qingqiong looked at Yun Xiu, sighed and shook her head, "I'll go first, you guys talk well, don't quarrel." β
Yun Xiu tugged at the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh but didn't laugh.
was really said by Zhao Qingqiong, she was carried into the carriage by Ling Xiao and thrown on the soft collapse.
Yun Xiu instinctively protected his stomach, propped himself up, and was pinched by his chin before he sat firmly. Forced to look up.
Ling Xiao stared at her fiercely, "Say, whose child is it?" β
"Yours." She clapped his hand vigorously and motioned for him to let go.
Ling Xiao's hand strength increased a little, "Mine? You don't want it either? β
"Let go of me," Yun Xiu said hatefully, "just like you, why should I give you a child?" How many times have I said that I didn't go to the small house, and nine times out of ten I was forced by you, and now you have created a sin, but instead ask me if I want to have children? You don't have a face, I still have a face! β
"Cheng, I'm shameless." Ling Xiao laughed angrily and let go of her, "I'll do something shameless for you today." What does it mean to be shameless! β
"What do you want to do?" Yun Xiu panicked and asked the coachman to stop, but the coachman didn't dare to stop, and killed all the way to the small house.
Ling Xiao didn't say a word, picked her up, pushed the door into the courtyard, and drove away all the subordinates.
Yun Xiu still remembered the last time he was angry, afraid that he would come nonsense, so he struggled desperately, "Ling Xiao, I can't have sex for two months, I can't!" You let go of me! β
Ling Xiao kicked open the door of the south room, threw the person into the bed, pounced on her, and pressed her: "You don't want it, what do you care about." β
Say, bury your head and kiss.
Yun Xiu's beating was to no avail, she heard the sound of the buckle tearing open, and boundless fear spread through her heart, "Ling Xiao!" If you dare to touch a hair of mine today, I will hang you in front of your bed! β
Sure enough, Ling Xiao stopped, but he hugged her and didn't let go.
Suddenly relaxed, Yun Xiu only felt exhausted, pulled out his hand, patted him on the back, "Let's get up and talk, you press me, I feel uncomfortable." β
Ling Xiao didn't move.
"I didn't want children, and the fetal pills were prescribed, but," Yun Xiu sighed slowly, "I'm always afraid that there will be a last resort." β
"You protect yourself first." Ling Xiao got up and looked at her coldly, "Your seventh sister said that you are hard-hearted and cold-blooded, it's really true, for self-protection, even flesh and blood can be handled." β
