Chapter 18: I'll take it back and raise it
The old lady stepped forward and said, "It's probably because the body of the pavilion is too weak, and the child can't bear it anymore when he is older." ”
Mrs. Qian didn't want her, but only looked at her uncle: "Yanhuan, let me ask you, how did my daughter give birth prematurely?" ”
After a pause, he only remembered what the man said, thinking that it would be good to send the child out, but he forgot about the premature birth, and he never thought to ask.
"This ......" he couldn't say, so he had to look at Mama Qu on the side.
"But it's really my good uncle," Mrs. Qian snorted coldly, and stopped looking at him.
Mama Qu stepped forward and said: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, when my aunt got up, it was already noon, I used some jujube paste and eight treasure dumplings, it was not likely to feel some discomfort in the abdomen, my aunt was only tired, so she rested in bed, who expected that she would not be able to take half a moment to go on for a while, I was busy calling someone to tell the eldest lady, the eldest lady heard about it, and sent someone to find the stable woman, probably the nine girls were small, and the stable woman came for only half an hour, and the girl fell to the ground. ”
"Have you ever asked for a doctor?" Mrs. Qian asked again.
"The doctor has come, and the doctor said that my aunt is weak, and there were signs of premature birth two months ago, and it is a blessing to be able to survive until now, as for the ninth girl, it depends on luck......" Mama Qu stopped talking.
Mrs. Qian waved her hand, and she already understood the rest of the meaning: "What about the leftover zongzi in the restaurant?" ”
Mama Qu hurriedly called the eldest maid to ask.
Aunt Qian's subordinates, except for Mama Qu, who was brought by her, the rest are all matched, after all, the Qian family is a small family, and it is okay to be able to match Mama Qu.
This big maid's name is mint, and she is also born fresh and smart, and it is also suitable to wear the water-green collared shirt issued by the servants of the house.
The other big maid is called Kikyo, and she is a loyal and upright person.
Listening to Mama Qu's question, Kikyo hurriedly said: "I brought out the zongzi and handed it over to the calamus who sprinkled and swept the courtyard." ”
Calamus soon came in, she was only a little maid of the third class, and she was not very old, and she had never seen such a battle, and she cowered when she entered the house.
"Calamus, where did you pour the zongzi that went out at noon?" The old lady asked.
When Calamus heard this, her legs were weak and she knelt directly on the ground, and she didn't dare to raise her head: "Old ...... Old lady, that zongzi ...... When the slave saw that the rice dumplings were exquisitely made, it was a pity to pour them...... Convenient...... I ate it......"
"Gluttonous Diao slave!" Slammed the old lady on the table: "Call me out!" ”
"Old lady, old lady spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid will not dare to ...... next time," Calamus knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
Two handmaidens came in from outside, and they were to pull her out.
Mrs. Qian suddenly said: "Slow, let me ask you, do you feel unwell after eating that zongzi?" ”
Calamus panicked, thought for a moment and shook her head again and again: "The slave is not unwell. ”
She was also ashamed to say it for the first time in the morning.
Old Madam Qian paused for a moment, as if she was thinking.
"Mother-in-law, I also ate that zongzi, I look very good," the old lady smiled dryly, and instructed the maidservant: "Whip this gluttonous servant for thirty and throw it out." ”
In fact, Mrs. Qian was thinking about it, she had already thought of it, but she just didn't want to ask about it, and she didn't want Mrs. Qian to continue to investigate.
Old Madam Qian waved her hand: "There is no need to whip it, just send it away." ”
The strangeness of the child's premature birth, Mrs. Qian was suspicious, but she also knew that this was not the time to pursue the matter, so she saved her mind and made up her mind to go out and then look for calamus and ask for an understanding.
Calamus was pulled out crying.
Old Madam Qian looked at Yan Huan again: "I heard that you are going to send this child to the temple?" ”
"Yes," Yan Huan admitted stiffly.
"Is there such a thing?" The old lady frowned, she didn't know anything about it: "Okay, why do you want to do this?" ”
Yan Huan couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so he simply said that when he came back today, he met the Taoist at the door, and the Tao of 1510 will come out.
After hearing this, he looked at the old lady Qian: "Mother-in-law, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Old Madam Qian smiled: "How can you believe the words of the warlocks in the rivers and lakes?" ”
"Mother-in-law, before that person entered my house, he calculated that there was a baby born in my house, and told me everything but didn't take a penny, I don't look at him like an ordinary charlatan......" Although Yan Huan was stunned in his heart at Mrs. Qian, he couldn't care so much when he thought that the Taoist priest said that this child was hindering his luck.
No one can hinder his official fortunes.
"Listen to you, do you have to give this child away?" Mrs. Qian patted the baby in swaddling clothes and looked up at him.
Yan Huan hung his head and said nothing.
"Do you want to bring the old lady to the same thing?" Old Madam Qian looked at the old lady again.
"Mother-in-law," the old lady walked over, touched the child's little face, and looked loving: "This is my own granddaughter, and my body is so weak, how can I be willing to give it away!" ”
"And that's it?" Old Madam Qian knew that she was just a hypocritical snake, so she asked deliberately.
"It's okay to stay, and she has a lot of food and clothing," the old lady was worried: "It's just that what Fang just said Huan said, the mother of the family should also think about it, after all, the person said that this child hinders the father's luck and hinders the mother's life."
It's useless to talk about it, luck is almost nothing, it's just that the hall is going to be hindered by his life......"
Mrs. Qian laughed angrily and was about to speak.
Qian Shijiang stepped forward, hugged the swaddling baby into his arms, and smiled very gently: "Mother, since the family can't accommodate this child, it's better for me to take it back to Laizhou, there has never been such a small child in the family for a long time, and it also makes my family lively." ”
Aunt Qian wanted to cry: "Big brother ......"
"Little sister, you are so resting, can you rest assured that I will take this child back?" Qian Shijiang looked at Qian Fangguan lovingly.
"With my eldest brother and sister-in-law to protect me, I am naturally at ease." Aunt Qian held back her tears and looked at the swaddling clothes.
It was her own child, and the flesh that had fallen from her body was like the tip of her heart, and now as soon as it landed, she was about to be separated from her, and her heart was really like a knife.
Laizhou is so far away, if this child really leaves with his eldest brother, I don't know when and what month he will see him?
Thinking of this, his expression became more and more desolate.
Mrs. Qian got up and hugged the swaddling baby back, and looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes with pity: "Laizhou is far away from Dijing, this child is too weak to withstand the bumps, or I will take it back to raise, and see if this little thing can hinder my old life." ”
"It's so troublesome to my mother-in-law, look at this thing......" The old lady glared at Yan Huan with a happy face: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't thank you mother-in-law!" ”
Speak of joy and want to salute.
Mrs. Qian's face turned cold: "Thank you for no need, I will take this child back to raise it, and I will take it back with me." ”
