Chapter 06: The Shen Family's Family Style
While tidying up the room, Jin Chun said, looking like he was thinking about Jiang Qiuman: "The Shen family style is rigorous. If the young master takes a concubine without marrying a wife, the old man will refuse. Fortunately, Mrs. Auntie, you are pregnant, otherwise I am afraid that you will be beaten to death by the old man. As he spoke, he put on a scared look.
Jiang Qiuman was really scared. Stopped the embroidery needle in his hand and said in horror: "Is the old man of the Shen family so cruel?" What can I do? ”
Jin Chun peeked at Jiang Qiuman's expression and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Auntie. You are pregnant now, even if the old man doesn't like you anymore, he won't embarrass the little great-grandson in his womb. ”
Jiang Qiuman really breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”
Jin Chun scrubbed the room again, brought the medicine for scalding wounds, and the freshly pickled plum came to Jiang Qiuman to eat. In the past few days, her leg injury has improved a lot, and the effect is remarkable.
Before leaving, Jin Chun looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and his eyes were undisguised worried about Jiang Qiuman.
Jiang Qiuman pretended not to understand, and pulled Jinchun to ask about the Shen family, but he didn't ask her what she was worried about.
Jiang Qiuman said, "How long have you been taking care of the young master?" For so many years, you have worked hard to take care of him so well. ”
Jin Chun first said a few polite words, and then heard her sigh and said, "Mrs. Aunt is really a wonderful person, she cares so much about slaves and maids. But the slave thinks about it, and there are some things I still want to say to you. ”
Jiang Qiuman said curiously: "What does Jinchun want to say?" ”
Jin Chun said: "The slave maid said before, if you give birth to a little grandson, it is the mother who is more expensive than the son; But if you give birth to a daughter, I'm afraid you'll ......"
Jiang Qiuman couldn't help but worry: "What if you're afraid?" ”
Jin Chun said: "The slave has taken care of the young master since she was a child. From Peking to Shanghai, it has been nearly 20 years. The slave knows the old man best. He was originally the old marquis of the Qing Dynasty, but after the death of the Qing Dynasty, he began to make a living as jade. Now it's even more prosperous.
"The old man has been stormy all his life, what have you never seen? What's more, it's a woman in the back house. The Shen family has a rigorous family style and is the most orthodox family. Now the Shen family is a single lineage of the young master, if you fail to give birth to a boy, you have broken the good reputation of the young master taking a concubine before marrying a wife, I am afraid that ...... I'm afraid that it won't end well, it's really pitiful. ”
As he spoke, Jin Chun wiped his tears with fear. seems to have seen Jiang Qiuman give birth to a girl, and the mother and daughter were beaten to death by the old prince together==......
Jiang Qiuman's face was so frightened that he couldn't even speak: "This, how is this good?" I don't want to die, and I don't want to offend the old man! ”
Jinchun nodded, and continued to be sad: "The slave maid also saw that you were new to the city, so I kindly reminded you." ”
Jiang Qiuman said: "Jinchun is so good, then, what should I do?" ”
Jin Chun laughed and said, "Now the fetus in your womb is only more than two months old. Coincidentally, the slave knows an old Shanghai master, he is amazing, and he can see whether you are pregnant with a man or a woman. Even if it is a daughter, he can rely on his methods to turn the daughter in his womb into a son. I just wonder if Madame would like to give it a try? ”
Jiang Qiuman was silent for a long time and didn't speak, with a hesitant look on his face.
Jin Chun hurriedly said: "Naturally, my aunt's wife Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely be able to give birth to a baby boy." She smiled shyly and kindly, "It's the slave who thinks too much, and the slave is too excited." After all, few women come to the young master's courtyard. ”
Jiang Qiuman said: "No, Jinchun, you have a point. It's just ......" she looked hesitant again.
Jinchun said: "Just what? ”
Jiang Qiuman said worriedly: "If this matter is known to the husband, he will definitely be angry with me." ”
Jinchun smiled: "Madame, why are you worried about this? You know this, I know, how can others know? ”
Jiang Qiuman was relieved at this time, but his eyebrows were still worried: "Then, then you can go and invite the old divine doctor." It's just Jinchun, and this matter must not be known to a third party. ”
Jin Chun responded repeatedly, and he was so happy that he went to invite the old master.
This old master surnamed Wang, known as Wang Banxian, lives in the small alley of Wang's family in the west of the city, and his business is quite extensive. Whether it is feng shui conditioning, eight-character fortune telling, or reading hexagram divination, he has everything at his fingertips, and he is even more powerful than the Taoist priests on Maoshan Mountain.
