Chapter Seventy-Five: Nichiren
Ouyang Zhen was lying on the bed, lazy and didn't want to get up. Wan Hui turned into the room and said with a smile: "Madam, the slave maid thought about it for a long time last night, Madame is now a person with a body, and this life is cold and cold and can never be eaten again." The slave maid prepared more than a dozen dishes and supplements for his wife, and ate them in rotation when the time came, so as to ensure that he would eat strong and healthy, and give birth to a white and fat son in the future. ”
Ming Ying followed behind him, and said with a smile on her face: "Haha, when the time comes, Madame will have another little son, and she and Ling Xiang will be able to play together." ”
Ouyang Zhen got up when he heard this, put on a robe and smiled at the two of them: "You guys also thought too early, the child in this belly is still young, why are you so nervous." ”
Wan Hui helped her sit in front of the dressing table, turned over the bronze mirror of the Linghua Sea Beast Grape, and said to the mirror: "Madame, look at it, Mrs. Xu's claw marks are gone." After a day or two, she came to apologize, and Madame should be relieved. ”
Ouyang Zhen took a closer look at the side, and the red marks on his five fingers really disappeared, and his face was not swollen.
She nodded and sneered: "It's gone, and now she's arrogant, someone should take care of her." ”
As he was talking, the warbler who went outside to fetch water suddenly ran in out of breath: "Madam...... Madam...... The princess is here. I was welcomed in. ”
Ouyang Zhen was startled, and hurriedly asked Wan Hui to take care of her long hair casually, because her face was still a little swollen, so she slightly pounced on a thin layer of powder. Picked out a smoky splendidly colorful butterfly play flower long skirt, draped in a translucent Jinsha smoke robe, combed the hair of the fallen horsetail, two pinched golden silk butterfly hairpins on each side, and inserted a half-open moon flower temporarily twisted from the outside in the ear, and the bright moon jade bell in both earlobes.
The whole person is expensive and unassuming, but he is beautiful and spiritual.
Ouyang Zhen dressed up properly, and then walked out of the house quickly, and when he entered the outer hall, he saw Concubine Chu drinking tea, and the maids on both sides were waiting. Ouyang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Concubine Ouyang clan to visit the princess and ask the princess for forgiveness." ”
When Concubine Chu saw her bowing, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said with a smile: "My sister has worked hard, how unhappy am I as a princess, thinking that one day everyone will open up more branches and leaves for the princess." ”
A few ladies below hurriedly got up to answer. Concubine Chu called someone to watch the seat again, and said to her: "Mrs. Xu, I have already called someone to invite her over, and I will definitely ask her to apologize today." Don't be busy, do our own sisters still pay attention to this? ”
Saying that, it is really a lot to ask the people below to offer packets of supplements. Concubine Chu pointed to those supplements and said with a smile: "Look at it, this is sent by Concubine Ben and several other ladies." Last night, when I heard that my sister was happy, I really didn't know what to give. ”
Hearing this, the Liu family stood up and said with a smile: "According to me, where is Sister Ouyang lacking from us, she is pregnant now, and this Hou Mansion should be lively for a while." Isn't it, Princess? ”
Ouyang Zhen hurriedly said no, but Concubine Chu clapped her hands and laughed: "You slanderer, Jingji eats it." Okay, a few days later is the fifteenth of this month, although it is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, but according to the custom, it is also incense to the land, take advantage of that time to set up a table, a few of you will eat less at dinner, and open a table at night, it will be regarded as a celebration for Sister Ouyang. ”
Everyone laughed and said yes.
Concubine Chu saw that it was not early, so she looked out the door and said, "Why can't this Sister Xu come over, do you have to ask someone to invite her again?" ”
While speaking, the grandmother who went to pass the word came over and said: "The slave maid brought the princess's words to Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu said that she was not feeling well today, and she would come alone tomorrow to make amends to Mrs. Seven." ”
When Concubine Chu heard this, her face suddenly turned angry, and she slapped the table and said, "This Sister Xu is too ignorant, and what she doesn't know is still the injustice of my family." Now that this happened, I just asked her to make amends, so embarrassed, why didn't I see her when I beat someone. You go and bring her another word, if you are really not happy, you can reflect in the garden, copy a few Buddhist scriptures when you are fine, and let her know what greed and hatred are, and think about it before doing it in the future. But in the past two days, I must come over and apologize to the Seventh Lady. If she refuses to come, there is no need for the Hou Ye to speak, and the concubine will be the first to ask for family law. ”
After speaking, he took a sip of tea and asked Ouyang Zhen again: "How is the beaten maid?" Ouyang Zhen was a little worried, and said: "Back to the princess, the doctor in the house saw it, and injured his bones, if he doesn't raise it well, I'm afraid he will walk a little lame in the future." ”
Concubine Chu sighed, and the lower ladies also sighed regretfully, and one of them, Mrs. Ye, was even more distressed: "Poor this girl, how old is she, how will she marry in the future?" ”
Concubine Chu sighed: "That's it, you first ask your subordinates to take good care of her, and now that you have a body again, I'm afraid that there will be not enough manpower, this concubine is dialing a few maids and grandmothers, you can pick a few if you look at it." There is also this courtyard, if it is too small, come and say, when the time comes, ask someone to vacate an empty yard and reorganize it before you live. What do you think? ”
Ouyang Zhen listened, and hurriedly thanked him again and again, and when he got up, he saw the jealousy in the eyes of those little ladies flashing, so he pretended not to see it, and only lowered his head to listen to Concubine Chu's instructions.
Concubine Chu said for a while, and then she was going back. Ouyang Zhen was busy outside the courtyard before turning back to the courtyard.
Ouyang Zhen only felt pain everywhere on his body, and helped Wan Hui crookedly and walked back slowly.
Wan Hui saw that her face was tired, and hurriedly said with concern: "Madame, I want to ask the doctor to come over and take a look again." Ouyang Zhen smiled lightly: "No need, I haven't worked for a long time, I moved a little last night, only to find that I am a lot unfamiliar, and I deserve to be in pain today." ”
Wan Hui only heard inexplicably, but when she saw the smile on her face, she stopped asking.
Because Ouyang Zhen is happy, the entire Hou Mansion seems to have brought a lot of joy, although Chu Huotian has reached the age of establishment, but there are not many children under his knees, only Han Xuan and Lin Yue have a son and a daughter. Therefore, the whole government attaches great importance to it.
Chu Huotian also often came to visit, and if he was busy with government affairs, he asked Li Jingcai to take some rare things over. Concubine Chu even sent a lot of maids and grandmothers to serve early in the morning, and she also saved Ouyang Zhen from coming over early in the morning to say goodbye.
The small "Jingyun Pavilion" is very lively and crowded. Several ladies in the house came to give gifts, greeted, housekeepers and grandmothers with heads and faces came to ask for peace, and some officials and relatives from outside came to make friends in the name of each other, and people came and went, disturbing Ouyang Zhen.
Seeing this, Chu Huotian hurriedly issued a "recuperation order" to stop the limelight slightly.
