Chapter 107: The child is abnormal
The backyard of the second room in the county lord's mansion is very lively, and many ladies are planning to see the demeanor of the little boy who has just been 100 days, although the children probably look the same, but everyone also wants to rub the joy, so they stepped forward to see the appearance of the child, and praised a few more words.
But the little boy is very delicate, so naturally he can't be easily hugged by outsiders.
Ji Yanning followed Mrs. Guo into the courtyard, and when she saw An not far away, she stepped forward and walked to her side: "Uncle." ”
An turned around and saw Ji Yanning coming with Mrs. Guo, she answered Ji Yanning, and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Guo: "Mrs. Guo, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”
Mrs. Guo said: "Yes, I'm talking to Yan Ning about you." ”
"The little boy has come out!"
As the voice of a little girl sounded, the door of everyone's room looked over, and sure enough, they saw the nurse holding a baby who was still in swaddling clothes.
Because of the distance, Ji Yanning naturally couldn't see the child's appearance clearly, and everyone didn't flock over, only a few ladies or young ladies nearby came over, teased, and gave way.
If the first great-grandson of the county lord's mansion is squeezed or bumped into, everyone can't afford this responsibility.
An said: "This kid is really energetic, and he hasn't fallen asleep for several hours. ”
Mrs. Guo was puzzled: "How does Mrs. Liu know that this child is not sleeping?"
"When I first arrived in the morning, I saw the second lady holding the child and teasing him, and then the second lady went to get busy, and handed the child to the mother and the nurse, and the nurse never let go. He said that he wanted the child to rest, but as soon as he was hugged into the room and put him to sleep, he began to cry. "It's been hours, but I haven't seen this kid quiet." ”
Mrs. Guo said: "It is said that the newborn child is the most sleepy, but it is too noisy today, and the child is not adaptable." ”
Ahn shook his head: "Maybe." ”
Ji Yanning listened to their conversation on the side, and looked at the nurse holding the child.
There are also two maids by the nurse's side to watch closely, which can make it more convenient to take care of the little boy.
Ji Yanning took Guo Xinyue's hand and stepped forward: "Let's go over and have a look." ”
Guo Xinyue was a little puzzled by Ji Yanning's approaching for no reason, after all, Ji Yanning really didn't like to join in this kind of lively person, but seeing that she was full of interest, she didn't refuse, followed and walked into the nurse holding the child.
Ji Yanning knew how to measure proportions, she stood a step away from the nurse, glanced at the little boy in the nurse's arms, and saw that the child was looking at him with his eyes open, but his eyes seemed to be a little cowardly.
She took a closer look at the clothes on the little boy's body, as well as the nurse holding him, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
"This child is really smart, and he knows at a glance that he is the noble son of the county lord's mansion. A lady came up to amusement and praised the child.
The nurse was obviously a little tired, but she bowed her head slightly, and didn't say much.
Ji Yanning seemed to smell a familiar smell, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.
Not long after, the subordinates of the county lord's mansion came to inform them that the banquet had begun, and everyone went to the garden in the front yard.
It was very cold in winter, because the banquet was held in the garden in the front yard, so he asked the people to place a charcoal fire for heating on the side of the road in advance, Ji Yanning walked over from the path, and when he saw the brazier placed on the side of the road, he couldn't help frowning.
Although there was a stove cover, looking at the charcoal fire that was shining with fire, Ji Yanning was a little weak.
Ziyu knew that Ji Yanning was afraid of charcoal, so she stepped forward to support her.
When she was in the house, the charcoal fire in the eldest lady's room was placed behind the screen, so as not to let her see the light of the charcoal fire, but now when she saw the charcoal fire on the side of the road, the eldest lady's hands were even colder than usual.
Ji Yanning tried to calm herself down, in her previous life, she was burned alive by the charcoal fire and died, naturally she was afraid of the charcoal fire, and now she could only lower her head and let Ziyu take her hand and move forward.
Keeping up with An's, Ji Yanning sat down at the banquet and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She remembers the pain before dying in her previous life clearly, and she often wakes up in the middle of the night because of this, so this pain in her body must be returned to Rong Ling and Su Ningxue.
Let them also taste the taste of life that is worse than death.
"Yan Ning, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ji Yanning's face was not good, An Shi reached out to hold her hand, and suddenly exclaimed, "Why is it so cold?"
His hands were as cold as ice.
She said, "Ask the brazier to be moved closer......
"No need!" Ji Yanning hurriedly interrupted An Shi's words, raised his head to stop her, and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ”
An Shi did not doubt that there was a fake, she said: "What else should I be, if I feel tired, let Changqing send you back in a while." ”
Ji Yanning nodded, barely squeezing out a smile.
The Lord's Mansion of Ren'an County has always been frugal, and this 100-day banquet is the same as that of ordinary eunuchs, but I heard that the palace sent a royal chef over, and the meals are more exquisite than those of ordinary eunuchs.
Ji Yanning's face was not good, and he didn't eat much.
The An family had some things to do with the other ladies, and he couldn't go back with her, so he looked for a small servant to find Liu Changqing and asked him to wait at the gate of the county lord's mansion to go back with Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning got up and walked towards the outside of the mansion gate.
As she walked out of the door of the front yard, suddenly a maid hurriedly walked past her, as if with a gust of wind, and her hair was fluttering.
The tip of his nose asked, a familiar smell of medicinal herbs.
She stopped suddenly, as if she had thought of something, and her whole body froze in place.
"Miss. Seeing her stop like this, Ziyu thought something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yanning turned his head to look at her, recalling the scene when he went to see the little boy in the courtyard of the second room just now, and the picture in his mind stayed on the two maids beside the nurse.
"Go to the county lord. Ji Yanning said and turned around and walked towards the courtyard of the county lord.
Ziyu was shocked, how could the eldest lady know where to find the county lord?
Ji Yanning had come to the county lord's mansion a lot in her previous life, so she naturally knew a lot about the structure of the mansion, even if there was no maid to guide her, she could find the direction of the county lord's yard, at this time, the county lord should have rested in the backyard, and she naturally didn't need to come in person for this kind of thing to entertain guests.
Ji Yanning took Ziyu and quickly walked to the courtyard of the county lord, but was stopped.
"What kind of person?" said the mother-in-law at the door, "this place is not something to be walked around casually. ”
Ji Yanning bowed slightly, and said: "Please also ask Mama to make it convenient and help spread the word, I am from the Ministry of War's Mansion, surnamed Ji, and I want to see the county lord." ”
The mother-in-law glanced at Ji Yanning, and indeed frowned: "How can the county lord be able to see you if you say it!"
Ji Yanning remembered that she was no longer the young lady Ying who went in and out of the county lord's mansion at will, she lowered her eyes for a moment, took off the bracelet on her hand again, and said: "This is what the county lord rewarded me just now, I haven't thanked the county lord yet, please be accommodating." ”
She said and glanced at Ziyu.
Ziyu understood, and hurriedly took out a full two pieces of silver and handed it to the grandmother.
The mother-in-law did not accept the silver of Ziyu, and she could see that Ji Yanning really had something to find the county lord, she said: "I am responsible for passing on the report, as for whether the county lord can see it or not, he will not do my business." ”
"Naturally, I saved. Ji Yanning said, "Thank you, Mama!"
The mother-in-law walked into the courtyard and went straight to the lord's room.
The lord of Ren'an was talking to the lady in the second room, and when he saw the woman come forward and salute, he turned his head to look at her.
"County Lord, there is a girl surnamed Ji outside the courtyard who said that she wants to see the county lord. The mother-in-law added, "The girl said that the lord of the county had given her a bracelet and had come to thank her. ”
After listening to his mother-in-law's words, the county lord of Ren'an remembered that there was such a person.
The second lady listened to her mother-in-law's words and said, "It's just a bracelet, and she had already knelt down to thank her at that time, so what is the so-called matter now? Could it be that seeing that her mother likes her, she wants to come over and put it on?"
The mother-in-law bowed her head and was silent, and at this time she only needed the words of the master.
Lord Ren'an said, "That's it, let her in." ”
If you really have a mind, you should only think that you are looking at the wrong eye.
The mother-in-law answered yes and withdrew.
The second lady said, "It seems that my mother really likes that girl, but I would like to know what she will say." ”
The county lord of Ringan did not answer.
After a while, the mother-in-law just now took Ji Yanning into the house.
Ji Yanning stepped forward and saluted: "Ji Yanning asked the county lord to say goodbye, and I have seen the second lady." ”
The county lord said, "Get up." ”
Ji Yanning stood up, because she had walked too much just now, the cold wind was cold, and her face was a little pale, but now it is distressing to look at.
She didn't realize it herself, she glanced at the second lady present, but she didn't hesitate too much, and said, "Yan Ning has something I want to tell the county lord. ”
The county lord of Ren'an said: "You say, the old body listens." ”
"It's about the little boy. Ji Yanning turned his head to look at the second lady and asked, "Does the second lady know that there is anything wrong with the little son?"
The county lord and the second lady of Ren'an were both stunned and looked at each other.
The second lady's face suddenly became nervous: "What do you want to say?"
Ji Yanning said: "The second lady is the grandmother of the little son, and I think she should often go to see the child, I wonder if the second lady can find out that every time she goes to see the child, whether the child has ever rested or slept, and even if there is, it is probably very rare." ”
When she said this, the second lady recalled that when she went to see the child, it was indeed rare to see him sleeping, she only said that it was a coincidence, maybe the child had slept enough.
Ji Yanning continued: "I heard that newborn children are very sleepy, it is really rare to see such a little boy, if the county lord and the second lady are willing to believe me, you can start from the sachets on those maids, and let the doctor identify what is in the sachets, maybe there will be something gained." ”
