Yizhou, Daotai Mansion, after breakfast in the backyard, Tian slowly walked in his small courtyard with the support of Sister-in-law Yang.

Her courtyard was cleaned up separately, although it looked just ordinary, but the interior was arranged according to the main courtyard of Cao Hao and Chu Yu, and all kinds of utensils and furnishings were of the highest quality.

Although she is only Mr. Zhuang's niece and daughter, she is currently living in the Cao family, but the maids and daughters-in-law in the house do not dare to treat them slowly. Not to mention that the Taifu has bigger rules, and it is not their turn to step high and low, just look at the courtesy of the uncle and the county lord and grandmother to the Tian family, who would dare to touch this moldy head?

Tian is one year younger than Chu Yu, only sixteen years old this year, because of his young age, he has been used to rough work since childhood, and his body is relatively strong. She is not tall, although she has a body, but because the flesh on her body is relatively solid, she doesn't look very strong, and looking at the belly according to the proportions of her body, it is a little too big. At this time, I have to hold my stomach when I walk, which is a little difficult.

After the birth of the grandmother of the Cao family, the fetus that Cao Ye said was too big and bad, and Sister-in-law Yang often looked at Tian's big belly and worried, for fear that the child would be too big and the mother and son would have a mistake.

The two of them, mother and daughter, were arranged by Tian's housekeeper before entering the house, and they had signed a death deed, and the honor and disgrace in the future would inevitably fall on Tian's.

In the past few months after entering the Daotai Mansion, although she was just a country woman before, she also saw that Lord Daotai was a noble among the nobles. Compared with such people, the so-called rich and noble families she had heard of in Hejian before were just rich landlords.

Although I don't know how big an official position "Jiangnan Weaving" is, but looking at those grandmothers from the south, they are all full of glory, which shows that it is too big. Otherwise, Cao Ye would not be so young and became a Taoist master.

The main courtyard in this mansion lives in an authentic heavenly noblewoman, the granddaughter of the emperor. Whenever she thinks of the identity of the county lord's grandmother, Sister-in-law Yang unconsciously trembles, and always feels like she is living in a dream in the past few months.

Speaking of which, after Tian's pregnancy, her belly was bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women, and she had always been wide-hearted, able to eat and sleep, and there was no discomfort during pregnancy.

Sister-in-law Yang didn't dare to make a mistake, so she pulled her out every day to move around more, so as not to have a difficult birth.

In winter, I don't know if it's because of the cold weather, Tian is always a little cowardly, and he doesn't like to move much, and his body is also sinking, and he feels tired when he walks around, and he often refuses to go again after walking twice.

This is also true, Tian has only walked a little more than a circle, and he said that his back is very sore, and he wants to go back to lie down.

Sister-in-law Yang was also helpless, knowing that it would not be good to let her go again, she was tired, so she had to rely on her and help her go back.

Back in the house, Tian got on the kang, the heat was steaming, and he felt a little more comfortable, as if he was panting and happy, and he was a little hungry in his stomach. She greeted Sister-in-law Yang with some embarrassment and said, "Sister-in-law Yang, my stomach is a little empty, but if you have any snacks to eat, give me some." ”

Because Tian's legs are a little swollen after pregnancy, Sister-in-law Yang often helps her rub her legs, and after walking around, she naturally has to rub them.

Sister-in-law Yang didn't stop when she heard this, and said with a smile: "If you are tired of walking around, you are naturally hungry." As he spoke, he turned around and called out to his daughter, Little Walnut, and said, "Walnut, go, bring the snacks to grandma." ”

After all, Tian's is a woman's hairstyle, and Sister-in-law Yang also changed her words.

Walnut ran to get the snack box, set it on the kang table, poured another cup of tea, and then took a hot hand towel to wipe Tian's hands.

Sister-in-law Yang couldn't help but smile when she saw that her daughter was doing things properly, which was completely different from before, and she came to a big family, and she also knew the rules.

Tian also cleaned his hands with a smile, took the teacup, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that in the past few months, walnuts have also looked like big girls......" As soon as the words fell, she felt a pain in her waist, she couldn't help frowning, and the teacup in her hand shook and splashed some water.

Sister-in-law Yang was startled when she saw this, hurriedly snatched the teacup, wiped the water on Tian's hand with a handkerchief, and asked tightly, "Is it hot grandma?" ”

Tian smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law Yang, I'm fine, I'm not hot, I just feel this waist...... This waist ......" As she spoke, she only felt a tightness in her lower abdomen, which turned to hurt, getting worse and worse, her whole face wrinkled together, and she hurriedly grabbed Sister-in-law Yang's hand and said nervously: "Sister-in-law, I'm ...... My stomach is ...... Stomach ache...... The pain of the fall ......"

Sister-in-law Yang listened to the bluff and bluffed most of the three souls and seven spirits, she was a person from the past, and knew that this was a precursor to production, but, but, but she was only eight months old! To be bad! She hurriedly shouted that Walnut went to find the amethyst girl, found the midwife to come and see, and called the maid to boil hot water, and then grabbed Tian's hand and comforted: "Grandma, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay, relax...... After a while, Wen Po will come! ”

"Sister-in-law......" Tian also wanted to say a few reassuring words, but when the words came out, the pain in his lower abdomen became more and more severe, and those words finally turned into a long shout: "Ah...... Hurt...... It hurts......"

* Da Chuyu's Xin'er, who was born prematurely from Tian's family, was guarding in the main hall of this courtyard, and had been guarding for an hour, and the shouting inside had not stopped, and then he was hoarse and exhausted, still crying out in pain in his hoarse voice.

Chu Yu was also a little frightened when she heard it, she had personally experienced those pains, but in the past, those before were as vague as a big dream. Now that she heard Tian's cry of pain, those memories suddenly became clear again, and she only felt that she was also in pain.

Fortunately, the forehead is here, what else can I do? She let out a long sigh, and if it weren't for that, I really didn't know if I would have survived. She remembered that when Cao Hao held her hand, she couldn't help but smile on her face.

In fact, she was in a daze at the time, and now she can't remember the feeling of holding his hand, but as long as she remembers that at that moment, he was by her side, and he held her hand, those pains disappeared immediately, and her heart was full of sweetness.

Instead, Chu Yu thought of Tian again, when this child was born, her husband was separated forever, not to mention accompanying her, even the face of the child could not be seen, she felt sad, and felt more and more pity for her, and immediately said to Xiyun: "Go inside and ask Sister-in-law Yang, what's the situation!" ”

Xiyun answered. Mama Ye, who was following on the side, saw Chu Yu's worried face, and hurriedly persuaded: "Gege and relieved, you also passed by." This thing sounds dangerous, but it's not like that. This grandmother Tian is strong, and the mother and child must be safe. As he spoke, he took her arm again and said, "The old slave said, Gege still moved to the west warm pavilion to rest, and he has been standing for a while, the hall is not warmer than the house, and it is very cold again......"

Mama Ye persuaded her to enter the house once before, but Chu Yu just refused, although it was only a few steps away, it felt like she was far away. At that moment, she still shook her head, and asked again: "Mama, look at her belly is so big, ......" Although the doctor said that it was fine, she was still a little worried when she looked at Tian's slightly abnormal belly.

Mama Ye already felt that Tian's stomach was not a good sign, but how could she say it at this time? Seeing Chu Yu ask like this, he hurriedly brought out a little smile to comfort her and said: "It's nothing, I heard that this grandmother Tian has an excellent amount of food, and I haven't seen how she is happy, she eats more, this child is older than usual, and there are also some." ”

Chu Yu listened to her words, and her heart was a little more steady, and Mama Ye persuaded her to go to Xinuan Pavilion again, she just wanted to refuse, but Mama outside came over with Xiao Tianyou who was tightly wrapped, but Xiao Tianyou had just woken up and it was time to breastfeed. Amethyst was beside her, and she was also persuading.

Chu Yu just didn't want to enter the house, so he took his son to Xinuan Pavilion, got on the kang, undressed his son and milked his son, and finally hugged him leisurely and coaxed.

Xiyun came over and talked back, saying that the Tian family was still only in pain over there, and the child hadn't seen it yet, but fortunately, the Tian family still had the strength, although he already had a piece of ginseng in his mouth, but it didn't seem to be a big deal.

Chu Yu nodded, and ordered to cut more ginseng slices, and change them to hold, I am afraid that it will take a while. Xiyun answered, turned around and went out to tell the curtain, and suddenly heard the loud cry of the baby over there.

Everyone's spirits were lifted, and Chu Yu was even more overjoyed, and he was busy about to go to the ground. Xiao Tianyou was ignorant, and was bumped by his mother, feeling uncomfortable, and turned his head and cried. Everyone was busy coming over to appease the little master, Chu Yu couldn't cry or laugh, patting his son while scolding with a smile: "Little wrongdoer, you will also join in the fun this time!" ”

The midwife has already come over to report the good news: "Congratulations to the county lord's grandmother, she is a young master!" It's strong! Mother and child are safe. ”

Chu Yu smiled, and hurriedly asked someone to give a reward, and Xiyun hurriedly handed over the prepared happy envelope. As soon as the midwife was about to be thanked, the voice of Sister-in-law Yang, who was taking care of Tian's family, sounded, she seemed to have never been so flustered, and shouted: "Mama, come and take a look, there is still a child!" ”

In the surprise of everyone, Tian gave birth to another child, but it was much smaller than the previous child, and the cry was very weak.

When the doctor came to see, he said that it was due to congenital insufficiency, the eldest was stronger, and the second was weaker, so the number did not come out when the pulse was called.

In any case, having two sons at once, everyone was happy. Chu Yu put incense on the side of the Guanyin statue, thinking that Ning Chun's family finally had it, and let out a long breath.

* Jiangning, weaving house, study.

Looking at his nephew Li Ding, who was dressed in plain clothes, dignified appearance, and well-mannered, Cao Yin nodded appreciatively, took the letter he handed over, and asked, "I heard that some time ago, your father committed an old illness, how is he now?" Are the two grandmothers healthy? ”

Li Ding bowed down and responded: "If you go back to your uncle, my father is already well!" Before sending my nephew this time, I specially explained to my nephew that I would like to thank my uncle for sending the old ginseng! The two grandmothers are still worshipping the Buddha sincerely, and their bodies and bones are still refreshing! ”

Cao Yin nodded, Cao Quan died of illness in June, and the Li family came to mourn Li Xu's eldest son Li Nai, who counted the son, but he hadn't seen the second nephew in front of him for more than a year.

Now, seeing his words and deeds, he is much better than his brother's Mu Ne, but because of Li Xu's retirement last year, he has been "recuperating" at home for a whole year.

Although I don't agree with the Li family's resignation back then, time has passed, and it's not interesting to talk about this anymore. Besides, these are the Li family's family affairs, and their father is in charge, where can outsiders say it?

Cao Yin pointed to the chair in front of the bookcase and said to Li Ding: "After a few boats, look at you are tired, sit and talk!" ”

Cao Yin saw that Li Ding's eyes were a little dark, just thinking that he was working the boat, but he didn't know that his hard work was hard, but he was quite happy.

The Li family also has some family backgrounds, and the Bihelou may not be able to enter Li Ding's eyes. He was happy to raise the beads, and of course he was quite satisfied with the body of the Poplar clan that came with it.

Thinking that the Cao family had paid off the deficit of millions of taels over the years due to the income from the tea garden and pearl farming, Li Ding's heart moved, and he looked at Cao Yin, who was a little kind, and couldn't help but think about it.

No matter how much he feels in his heart, Li Ding can't deny that the three families of Cao, Li, and Sun in Jiangnan are headed by the Cao family. The head of the Cao family, Su Yu, also seems to have the intention of taking care of the Li and Sun families.

If you are sincere, then speak up and ask this pearl recipe? After all, the Li family has a deficit, and Cao Yin also knows about it. If you don't hide your secrets, this recipe is no longer exclusive, so it shouldn't be difficult to tell the Li family, right?

Although the recipe on the Bai family's side was already in the bag, Li Ding still couldn't help but want to test this uncle. I really don't get used to his appearance as a hypocrite, I really want to know what reason he uses to prevaricate?

Sitting in his chair, thinking of this, he squinted slightly, thinking about the wording "unintentionally". Before he could ask, he heard Cao Yin ask: "I heard your brother say that you will go to Beijing on an errand in the next year, how did your father arrange it?" Do you want to pursue literature or martial arts in the future, but you have a plan for your future? ”

In a word, it made Li Dingli stop teasing Cao Yin. Yes, he will go to Beijing next year, although the Li family also has relatives in the capital, but the most prominent is the Cao family.

What about Earls' Court! Li Ding suppressed his anger and thought that his father was only a third-class son, several levels lower than the Cao family's title. Thinking about Pingjun Wangfu and Chunjun Wangfu again, Cao Hao is still the prince's companion.

Hmph, what's the big deal, he, Li Ding, is still a serious prince's cousin!

I couldn't be impatient in my heart, but Li Ding was very respectful on his face, and replied: "Uncle, my father has an excerpt for Long Live Lord." As for the so-called future, what are the plans for the nephew? The meaning of the father depends on the grace of the Lord! No matter how it is arranged, the nephew's side can only do his best to do his errands! ”

Cao Yin showed some relief on his face, and said to Li Ding: "It's really good to think like this!" People like ours can be treated so favorably by the Lord of Long Live Lord, and the grace of God is vast! When we arrived in the capital, it was no better than the south, and it was not a place where we could speak loudly! At the beginning, your cousin was young and ignorant, and he caused a lot of trouble in the capital. Although it was okay later, in the end it offended many people, but it is inappropriate to say it! But you've always been sensible, and you don't need to worry about these things! As long as you think about the grace of the Lord and the honor and disgrace of the family, you will naturally know that everything is vigilant, and you can't make a mistake in half a step! ”

Cao Yin said this, originally with good intentions, but he was afraid that this nephew would be as enthusiastic about power as his father, and he would not get involved in things that should not be mixed in the capital and cause any trouble.

Hearing Li Ding's ears, it was another kind of show-off. The Li family also knew the grievances and grievances between Cao Hao and the children of the Guo Luoluo family with the yellow flag, and they thought that even if Cao Hao did not suffer a big loss, he would eventually receive some lessons. After all, Guo Luoluo's family has Concubine Yi in the palace, and she is a family of relatives who can count them, who would have thought that in the end, it would be over.

Regarding Cao Yin's later words of "half a step can't be wrong", Li Ding simply sneered. What is called "half a step can't be wrong", it doesn't require him to listen to the Cao family's instructions and not climb another high branch.

However, where is he the person whose mind will be on his face? Naturally, he stood up and respectfully thanked his uncle for his advice.

After Cao Yin explained two sentences, he said to him: "Your aunt is also very worried about you, so I sent someone to tell your aunt!" She's looking forward to you too, so go over and say goodbye! As he spoke, he sent a small servant to take Li Ding to the second gate.

Speaking of which, when Li Ding was born, the Li family had already left the cabinet, and he really had no feelings for this cousin. But knowing that she was the most important person connecting the Cao and Li families, and the biological mother of Pingjun Wang Fujin and Cao Hao, Li Ding heard Cao Yin say this, and his face was a little more happy.

After the second gate, there was already a maid in the Li family's courtyard waiting here, listening to the little guy's words, this is the young master from Suzhou, he had to bow his head and salute, and then led the way to Kaiyang Courtyard.

Li Ding also came to the Cao family twice a few years ago, and asked the Li family to be safe, and now he looks at the maid's face, and thinks that it is a new one in the past two years. Unconsciously in my heart, I compared this weaving house with Suzhou. Speaking of which, their family also took over the drive, but it was not as many times as the Cao family, and it was just a long time.

After entering Kaiyang Courtyard, I walked under the porch of the main house, and before I entered the door, I heard Li's laughter and the sound of a young man talking from the house.

Li Ding paused and glanced at the maid with a little doubt. The maid smiled and said, "It's our fifth master from Xifu who is here to talk to his wife!" ”
