Zhao family.

General Zhao is slender, with eyebrows and eyes, and the beard on his chin is not messy, if it weren't for his fierce spirit, I am afraid that he would think that he would be a teacher.

He wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and said, "What does Madame think?" ”

"I received news that the Queen Mother intended to marry King Jing and Xiang Rong last night!"

Mrs. Zhao's heart jumped, and she lost her voice, "This marriage, is it possible not to ask the wishes of the two families?" ”

General Zhao raised his eyes and swept her eyes, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and he was slightly sarcastic: "The Queen Mother must have asked King Jing's wishes!" ”

Can the Queen Mother still deign to ask the Zhao family?

Mrs. Zhao knew that even if the Queen Mother asked, she didn't dare to refuse openly, so she could only euphemistically say that Xiang Rong had a marriage contract, and if she was serious in the palace, she was afraid that she would be guilty of bullying the king.

Thinking about it like this, she hurriedly said: "I'll discuss with my sister-in-law tomorrow, and I'll talk about it after the ceremony!" ”

"Sun family!" General Zhao knocked on his knee and pondered, the second nephew of the lady's mother's family, this candidate is not good, but it is not bad either.

It's just that there is a huge disparity between the two sides.

One is a military general, and the other is a literati.

Besides, he remembered that this brother-in-law had always looked down on military generals.

"Is it the Sun family seeking glory? Or do you insist on stuffing Xiang Rong over! ”

Mrs. Zhao's face stiffened, and she said dryly, "My sister-in-law and I both thought it was appropriate, so we discussed it, and my sister-in-law also promised me that when the young couple got married, they would be separated, so that Xiang Rong would not be too restrained!" ”

"I disagree!" As soon as General Zhao heard this, he knew that there was moisture in this, and directly denied this marriage.

"General, what's wrong with the Sun family!" Mrs. Zhao was a little angry, her husband looked down on the Sun family, and he just looked down on her.

"The Sun family is not bad, it's just not suitable for Xiang Rong!" General Zhao explained that the Sun family has big rules, and the constraints on their daughters are even stricter, not to mention their daughters-in-law.

"Then the general will take a suitable person out, or just wait for the queen mother to mess up the mandarin duck spectrum, marry Xiang Rong to King Jing, or give someone randomly!!" Mrs. Zhao was angry and slapped the table and yelled.

Mrs. Zhao is from a scholarly family, she looks gentle and gentle, but her temper is not filial, and she has not been in charge of the general's mansion all these years, and her temperament is even tougher.

General Zhao also felt guilty for letting his wife keep the empty room all the year round, so he was very conniving, seeing this, his tone subconsciously softened, "The Sun family is unwilling to marry, you force it, Xiang Rong is afraid that he will have to suffer in the future!" ”

"Even if you don't like it now, for the sake of our husband and wife's face, we have to be polite to Xiang Rong after all!" He was soft, and Mrs. Zhao's temper couldn't come out, and her face was a little sneering.

"You don't want this idea!" General Zhao shook his head, "My daughter is in the hands of others, but you listen to others, and you want to turn around and pinch others!" ”

Zhao Xiangrong, who had been squatting under the window and listening for a long time, saw that General Zhao did not support this marriage, so he immediately jumped out and shouted, "Father, I told my mother that the second cousin of the Sun family has a sweetheart!" ”

"I don't want to marry into the Sun family, my aunt doesn't like me in the first place, she thinks I'm loose in rules, if I get married, will I still have a good life!"

"Dad, you just let my mother let me go, let me live a few more years or not!"

Mrs. Zhao was angry when she heard this, what kind of Longtan tiger's den is the Sun family, she picked up the feather duster and was about to wave it over, "You get out of me, I really owe you in my last life!" ”

"Eh, ma'am, have something to say!" General Zhao hurriedly stopped, "Concubine Shu spoke to Xiang Rong, saying that Xiang Rong wants to recruit trouble, and the marriage with the Sun family should not be mentioned again!" ”

"As for the candidates, there are many good sons and daughters in the army, don't look for Madame!" After he finished speaking quickly, he took his daughter and ran away.

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she couldn't, she frowned and pondered for a while, and finally sent someone to send a letter to her sister-in-law to explain the situation.

This marriage is considered to be abandoned, probably because the Sun family is not enthusiastic about this marriage, and she has nothing to be reluctant in her heart.

It's just that the rumor that General Zhao intends to recruit his daughter came out, but there was no turmoil in Beijing, but there was a disturbance in the Zhao family.

General Zhao's big family business, isn't it all in the clan after his daughter marries, if Zhao Xiangrong is allowed to recruit him, won't they get a penny.

The Zhao family, which had always been deserted, suddenly became lively.

……

When Gu Mianmian heard about this, she felt a little awkward: "I would have changed my excuse if I had known." ”

"Niangniang didn't say this at that time!" Aunt Song didn't think there was anything, so she removed the dim sum in front of her mother, and said softly: "If General Zhao doesn't want to recruit Miss Zhao, he can naturally have something else to say, now that this rumor has come out, I am afraid that he really intends to recruit Miss Zhao!" ”

Gu Mianmian thought about it, but it was a pity to watch a plate of dim sum being taken out of her sight.

"The slave maid also heard that the eldest princess of Jin Gui wants to marry her youngest grandson to Zhao Xiangrong!"

"The youngest grandson?! How big? Gu Mianmian was amazed, the eldest princess of Jin Gui's abacus was really good!

Aunt Song: "Fourteen! It's a concubine! Miss Zhao is three years old! ”

Gu Mianmian pouted: "Is this asking someone to take care of the child?!" This grass is so tender!

"What's too tender?!" Aunt Song didn't understand her stalk, and her face was inexplicable. "However, the slave maid thinks that the Feng family is a good candidate!"

"General Zhao and the eldest princess of Jin Gui have joined forces, and there is nothing to say in the Zhao family!"

"That's not necessarily, wealth is moving!" Gu Mianmian sneered, the Zhao family's family business is so big, and there are many people who are red-eyed.

"Rich!"

"Mother, the minion is here!" Fugui lifted the hem of his clothes and ran over quickly: "The slaves have done everything that the mother ordered!" "Le

"According to the mother's orders, all the people who drowned their daughters, the slaves found someone to poke out the matter."

"A few days ago, someone asked the midwife to deliver the baby, and she gave birth to a daughter, but the family couldn't bear it and wanted to stay, but the mother-in-law was ruthless, didn't want to damage her signboard, and wanted to secretly use some means to drown the child, but was discovered!"

"Now it's going to court!"

"You secretly tell people to keep an eye on it, don't let go of that grandma easily!" Gu Mianmian's face was full of disgust, and she bit the green jade melon in her hand viciously.

"Those who drowned their daughters, remember to give them more publicity, especially when they marry a daughter-in-law, they must publicize more, where is such a ruthless family worthy of marrying a daughter-in-law!"

"The minion is in order!" Wealth swears by it.

The spring equinox beckoned to Aunt Song, and Aunt Song went out and came in and said, "Niangniang, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent to deliver the baby." Mother, this will be interesting to take a look! ”

Last time, the Internal Affairs Office sent that person, and Aunt Song was angry so far, and it was not pleasing to the people in the Internal Affairs Office.

"Today is February 29. It's not been a few days! "The imperial doctor has already calculated that Gu Mianmian's baby is expected to be delivered in late March.

Midwifery is naturally the top priority, because the last candidate, the entire Internal Affairs Office was reprimanded by the emperor, this time, the Internal Affairs Office is eager to find out how many times a day this person goes to the thatched house, whether he washes his hands or not.

"Check it out!" Gu Mianmian got up neatly, raised his feet and walked out.

Aunt Song watched her movements, her eyelids jumping wildly.

"Mother, take it easy!"

The eight people sent by the Internal Affairs Office this time were all over 40 years old, and they were neatly dressed, their hair was meticulously combed, and their nails were neatly trimmed.

Gu Mianmian asked a few words casually, but didn't hear anything wrong, so she left.

The steward eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office was a little stunned, "All stay?!" ”

"Can't you do it?!" Gu Mianmian raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Niangniang, it stands to reason that four people are enough!" The steward eunuch said cautiously.

"In case the time comes, those four people are not used, will you let Hongu wait for death?!" Gu Mianmian raised her eyes, her gaze was calm.

The steward eunuch stiffened, and shook his head again and again: "The slave doesn't dare!" Niang Niang is left! ”

"In this palace, the mother is pregnant, and it is nothing for these midwives to stay!" If you want Aunt Song to say, don't say that your mother wants eight midwives, it is eighteen, what is it!

Aunt Song asked thoughtfully: "If the steward is not at ease, what if the slave maid went to ask for the holy decree?!" ”

The steward eunuch secretly hated himself for talking too much, and Concubine Shu was looking for a few midwifery grandmothers, he could ask! begging for mercy again and again.

Aunt Song stuffed a few taels of reward money and politely sent people away.

Eight midwifery mothers, Gu Mianmian asked them to wash each of them from head to foot, and their hair could not be let go.

"Clothes or something, the palace has prepared them for you!"

"The clothes that have been changed are burned, and one person will lose two taels of silver!"

"Whatever you need, someone will naturally prepare!"

"After entering this Qixia Palace, I can't leave until the palace is safe and secure, and during this period, I will ask a few people to be wronged."

A few people got up and said, "Slaves don't dare!" ”

"I will definitely let the mother and son be safe!"

Gu Mianmian sneered, disapproving.

The mind reader didn't hear anything, but she didn't dare to take it lightly.

Eight midwifery mothers, two maids and two little eunuchs were arranged to keep an eye on them.

Chunping was secretly frightened, and couldn't help but ask privately, "Niangniang, is there a problem?" Otherwise, ask the Internal Affairs Office to re-select someone and send it in! ”

Gu Mianmian: "How can you be sure that the people who are sent in again are fine?" ”

"Niangniang, the slave and maid secretly observed, and didn't see any problems." Aunt Song secretly asked people to stare at her, but she didn't see any problems.

Gu Mianmian: "I didn't say there was a problem!" ”

"But isn't Niangniang being stared at!" Chunping was surprised, her face full of doubts, "Is there a problem with this!" ”

"Niangniang is worried, they are okay now, but when the day comes, they can't say?" Aunt Song thought about it and understood what Gu Mianmian was worried about.

"Niangniang, don't worry, these people entered Qixia Palace, they didn't go out of the palace, and they didn't have any contact with the outside, so there must be no problem!"

Gu Mianmian shook her head and gently put her hand on her stomach, the closer to delivery, the more frequent the fetal movement.

"Auntie, I've been flustered lately, and I always feel like something is going to happen!"

The palace has been calm recently, but the more calm it is, the more frightened she becomes.

"Niangniang is not thinking too much!" The spring equinox couldn't help but say, "The slave maid heard before that the more this pregnant woman is about to give birth, the easier it is to think about it!" ”

Prenatal phobias? Gu Mianmian shook her head, her eyelids kept jumping in the past few days, not to mention that the Queen Mother Concubine De was quiet and there was nothing unusual, and she was even more bottomless in her heart: "I still feel uneasy, aunt, you take someone and check Qixia Palace!" ”

"I have to check the things I use in my production even more!"
