Chapter 560: The Mother of a Family
Since Zhang Fu accompanied the emperor on his northern expedition, Mrs. Wang has concentrated on taking care of her children at home, at most, she went to Zhang's house in Wu'anhou Hutong to walk around, and most of the rest of the time was at home. However, after the news of the Northern Expedition spread throughout the Jingshi, she didn't be happy for long before she fell into busyness. That night, Xiyu was in pain, but she didn't give birth to the child until noon the next day. Since it was just an aunt in the house who gave birth, Gu was sick, she didn't want to bother over there rashly, one of the two concubines died and the other was sick, and she didn't believe the other concubines, if it wasn't for Biluo rushing over, she would almost have to enter the delivery room in person.
"Xiyu has been with me for so many years, she has a good character and good looks, and she has always served the lord with heart, I still expect her to give birth to a boy and a girl, so that she can be a companion to Tianci and Tiantian, who knows that she is young, and she has also encountered such a threshold as I did at the beginning! At that time, I still had my aunt by my side, but she didn't have a father or mother...... That's it, Biluo, if you want to stop me, you can go in and see her. You tell her that she's been with me for so many years, and I just want her to have a good outcome. She must fight for herself, don't let people ask me to protect adults and children in the end! ”
After more than 20 years of desolation, Mrs. Wang is really afraid, even if she has children and daughters now, she still feels uneasy, and she doesn't want her husband to go out when something goes wrong. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was so resolute, Biluo, who was already married, bowed her knees, and then walked out of the main house and hurried to the east wing.
At this moment, this place is already a mess, although it is not like Mrs. Wang was surrounded by people when she gave birth last time, but the two stable women are already busy and sweating. It's just that compared to Mrs. Wang's trip, Xiyu is young and strong after all, even if her face is already pale, she still follows Wen Po's prompts again and again, and she has no intention of relaxing. Biluo, who was standing behind, saw this and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. She knew very well that she didn't need to relay these words herself, and Xiyu could fully understand them.
But even so, seeing that Xiyu tried hard again and again to no avail, she still felt a burst of irrepressible worry, and then her heart was quite gloomy. She never wanted to be a concubine, so she turned to Xi Yulu and showed her heart, and finally passed this hurdle; Peng Shisan is certainly a good person, but after all, the age difference is nearly twenty years, but fortunately, he himself opened his mouth to refuse the old lady, and she was grateful; Mrs. Wang chose thousands of choices, and she finally got married at the beginning of last year, but because she has no children so far, her mother-in-law has already had some unpleasant words. In fact, a woman's life is like this, and from this point of view, she really can't see it as much as Xiyu.
And Amber, which is also a dead eye, I'm afraid I've been thinking about the past. The wealth of the sky, no matter how good the family is, it is already a past that cannot be returned, so why bother thinking about the stars. She has figured it out now, and looking at the bottom is the truth.
"Born, born!"
She was thinking wildly when she heard this joyful shout, and immediately came back to her senses, and before she could open her mouth to ask a question, a loud cry sounded in the room. A stable woman looked at the child over and over for a while, and then said with a smile: "Good luck, it's a young lady!" ”
Xiyu, who had almost lost her strength, heard that it was her daughter, and finally relieved herself. Muttering a few words that others could not understand, and with the help of a few servants, she turned her head with difficulty, and whispered to the child for her to take a look. At this time, Biluo, who stepped forward, had already taken over the child, and squatted down in front of the puerperium, and gave Xiyu a closer look, and then said with a smile: "Auntie, you see, she is a beautiful young lady, and when she grows up in the future, she will definitely be loved by everyone." ”
"Born in such a family, and a daughter, as long as she can be safe, she is naturally loved by everyone." Xiyu stared intently at the child's facial features, and her face showed a tenderness that she couldn't hide, "She will definitely marry the best husband in the future, and she will be happy and happy for the rest of her life, and she will no longer have to endure hardships like we did at the beginning." My child, my mother finally gave birth to you with great difficulty, and my mother only hopes that you will marry well and live happily for the rest of your life......"
Xiyuxu, who has always been shrewd and capable, said these words, Biluo understood the meaning between the lines, and couldn't help but have a sour nose when she heard it, and hurriedly interrupted her. When she was about to take the child away, she suddenly felt that her wrist was grabbed, and when she looked down, she saw that Xiyu was staring at her directly, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Biluo, when you go out to return to your wife, you will kowtow to me, just say that your wife is kind, and you will never forget it."
Hearing this, Biluo hurriedly agreed, went out, and the two elderly mothers who had been waiting outside quickly rewrapped the swaddling clothes, and she washed her hands in the copper basin, and then picked up the child and went out. When they arrived at the main room, Mrs. Wang, who had already received the news, stood up when she saw the child. She walked forward quickly, glanced into the swaddling clothes with joy on her face, and couldn't help but shake her head when she saw that the little one was only squinting and his face was wrinkled.
"Although I gave birth twice, I really can't see the wrinkled face of this child. But since she is a girl, she should always be as delicate as Xiyu in the future. Alas, I would like to have one more brother, after all, he is only a little old now, and I am afraid that there will be a ...... But Xiyu is still young, my old clam can still give birth to pearls, and she may be able to have two more ...... in the future."
I just listened to Xiyu's nagging inside, and now I heard Mrs. Wang's wordy sighing endlessly, and Biluo couldn't help but be stunned. When Mrs. Wang took over and hugged the child, she remembered Xiyu's instructions just now, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Seeing this move, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and only after listening to the explanation did she shake her head angrily: "I promoted her at the beginning, because she was not only born well, but also capable and measured. Over the years, she has served the master well, and let me worry less about housework, and now she has added a daughter to the master, which can be regarded as a great hero in the family! When the time comes, tell her that she will have a good life, and the name of this child will be thought of when the master leaves, and it will be called Zhang Yue, which is beautiful and auspicious. ”
Because the house had already selected a nursing mother, Mrs. Wang quickly handed over the child, and after some instructions, she explained to the two girls who were selected, and sent people to report the good news to the relatives' houses. When she was about to send someone to Yangwu Bo's Mansion, she suddenly remembered something that Peng Shisan had mentioned when she came to see her before, and she couldn't help but smile at Biluo.
"When the first Peng 13 came back to see me, such a bold man was a little embarrassed. I was just strange, but when he said that he was going to ask for a kiss from Lingxi in Yangwu Bo's Mansion, I was immediately startled, thinking that it was the person who my aunt gave to Zhang Yue, but when I asked, I knew that Zhang Yue's little couple had already agreed, and Lingxi seemed to be willing. The little couple is messing around, and the spirit rhino is also bold, I have to go over and mention it to my aunt. Even if you have the heart to fulfill, you are always an elder, and you can't make a lot of trouble. Today, with this happy event at home, I happened to go over, so you can go with me. ”
Biluo heard Peng Shisan's pleading clearly, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, and then felt even more relieved. Although it was Peng Shisan who rejected the kindness of the old lady at the beginning, she was not very happy about the marriage, who would have thought that such a thing would come out at this time. She had seen Lingxi a few times, and she remembered that it was the most powerful big girl of the old lady over there, and then gave it to Zhang Yue, these two people could actually make a pair?
"Let's go, for the sake of the loyal and righteous donkey in the master's mouth, I can only beg my aunt even if I give up my face!"
Since the edict of the class teacher came, Zhang Yue got the prince's decree. Now that his assassination at Jimingyi has finally become well-known news, he can finally stay at home for a few days with the prince's will. He was originally a little lucky about Gu's illness, but when he saw Feng Yuanming in person, he learned from this person that his grandmother's illness was hopeless, and he almost wanted to wait until Shi Quan, the judge of the Tai Hospital, came back from the north and tried to invite him to take a look, but in the end he had to accept the reality.
In the days when he was not at home, his eldest uncle Zhang Xin almost opened his face to invite all the famous doctors in Beijing, but the result was still the same as the first - the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, but it was just a hard time.
That afternoon, Gu was in a rare better spirit, so he ordered someone to move himself to the couch outside, leaning on the back pillow, covering his body with a thick futon, and Zhang Jing beat his legs with a small fist in front of the couch. Although the strength of a six-year-old child is only a little bigger, she doesn't care at all, and her eyes sweep to the grandchildren and daughters-in-law next to her from time to time. After a while, the door curtain moved, but it was Zhang Yue and Du Juan who entered the door, followed by Lingxi Amber and Autumn Marks. Seeing the complete five people, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and when she saw them saluting, she hurriedly ordered Bai Fang to help Du Juan up, and then straightened her face.
"It's good that you have a body to walk around, but you can't always follow everyone out, and you have to leave someone in the house to take care of it, otherwise you won't have hot water when you go back, and there will be no snacks for snacks?"
Gu glanced at Lingxi with disgust, and when she was about to blame, she suddenly remembered something, her heart moved, and she swallowed the other half of the words on her lips immediately. Seeing Zhang Yue and Du Juan sitting down, she looked at the other two granddaughters-in-law, as well as Zhang Zhen, who was sitting next to Feng, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Just as she was about to open her mouth again, an announcement suddenly came from outside.
"Old lady, the Duchess of England is here!"
Hearing this, Gu Shi put aside the other thoughts first, and hurriedly instructed the eldest lady Feng Shi on the side to go out and pick it up. Feng only went out for a short while, and then entered the house with Mrs. Wang, followed by Biluo. After some courtesy, Mrs. Wang sat down on the first chair on Gu's right, and first said that there was a new girl in her house, and the room was full of congratulations, and Gu also smiled and told Feng to go back and prepare a congratulatory gift, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although it has been 20 years late, now your family is finally adding to the imported happy events, which is also the result of your daily accumulation of virtue and good deeds. Xiyu is certainly a capable person, but it is also her blessing to meet a housewife like you. But since it's a girl, you still have to take good care of the godsend, and then find a few proper people for Afu. It's not that I'm worrying, of course you're a sister-in-law, but the dignified British duke only has a single seedling, and it's not so reliable after all. You've been taking care of housework for so many years, and you're always right to look at people. ”
"What my aunt said is right, I naturally save it."
Mrs. Wang understood that Gu's words were all for her own sake, so she hurriedly agreed. After saying a few more words, she saw the spirit rhino behind Zhang Yue and Du Juan on the opposite side, and her heart hesitated. It's just that she didn't dare to be in a hurry, and said a few words with Gu Shi on the back of the house, and then she pulled over the conversation little by little. Zhang Yue on the side had already heard what Mrs. Wang meant, and he was surprised that Peng Shisan's movements were fast, but his grandmother had already agreed to this, so he didn't want Mrs. Wang to be tempted, and when he was about to speak, he didn't expect Gu Shi to cough lightly.
"Wan Niang, since you are here, I want to ask you for a happy event. Peng Shisan has taught Brother Yue's martial arts for many years, and has been born and died for him many times, so he is also a teacher and a friend to him. Lingxi followed me first, and then followed Brother Yue for many years, and I always looked at her as similar to the girl in my own family. Now that they are interested in each other, it is better to pick a time for this marriage, and you, the housewife, will take a little effort to handle it as soon as possible while I am still in the process. ”
Biluo didn't expect Gu Shi to open her mouth first, and couldn't help but glance at Lingxi, seeing that she couldn't see her expression when she lowered her head, she couldn't help but sigh that she couldn't compare to her. Mrs. Wang, who was worried about not knowing how to mention this matter to the Gu family, was even more surprised, seeing that this was not like a confession, she only felt that a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, and she quickly stood up and saluted.
"Thank you, auntie, for making it happen. I really can't imagine that the donkey actually has an enlightenment, and I don't know how much I told him about the matchmaker at the beginning, but he pushed it vigorously, and he took a fancy to the person you were conditioning. Auntie is really compassionate, pity me when I came here today, I was full of anxiety, I am afraid that you will blame me for only knowing how to snatch people from you. ”
Whether it was Feng's family, Li Yun, Zhao Fen, or even a few other girls in the house, they didn't expect such a happy event, and they couldn't react for a while. When Gu Shi talked to Zhang Yue and Du Juan again, they suddenly woke up one by one, and their eyes all looked at Lingxi.
Could this spirit rhino be crazy? Peng Shisan is already in his early forties, even if his skills are good, he is only a general of the British government, if Lingxi marries him, how can he compare to the glory and wealth in this mansion?
After Gu and Mrs. Wang negotiated the date, they called Lingxi to step forward. Seeing that she knelt down and kowtowed three times without saying a word, she didn't call out immediately, but sighed: "You have served me for more than ten years, and now I have fulfilled you on the path you have chosen." I have prepared this dowry a long time ago, and I will let them clean it up later, and you will follow me in vain. ”
After saying this, she smiled at Mrs. Wang and said, "Wan Niang, you are going to leave the most powerful girl in my family, and I can't cheap you." This Peng 13 is still from the British Mansion, I don't rob people with Afu, but let him help Brother Yue more in the future. And Lingxi, I often have to call people over here, can you agree? ”
"That's natural, that donkey is not only the master, but also thinks about Brother Yue in his heart, and then it's his turn to respect me. As for the Lingxi, you personally brought it up, how could I not let it go? Mrs. Wang, who was full of promises, looked at Zhang Yue, and then smiled again, "Brother Yue, I'm going to leave your people, so it's better to make up for you." A few days ago, Gao Quan just bought a pair of little girls, who are only thirteen years old, but they are all well-behaved people, and they will be sent to you back, how about it? ”
