The warmth of early April came unexpectedly, but it only came overnight. As the temperature rises, the flowers and plants begin to sprout, and spring is strong. The sun is not as hot as in summer, so you can feel warm. The people had already taken off their fleece jackets and changed into thin shirts. The night was hot and cold, Su Xiangsi slept unsteadily, covered the quilt and sweated, kicked off the quilt and felt the slightest coldness.

The first silent spring rain of the new year began at dawn, and the smell of the earthy washed by the rain seeped into the lattice window and drifted into Su Xiangsi's nose.

I slept in a daze and still felt my breath keenly, and muttered: It's finally raining. Roll over and fall asleep again with the sound of rain.

After listening to the green bamboo in the front yard of the bamboo courtyard after being washed by the drizzle, the bamboo leaves are green and eye-catching. Su Xiangsi leaned on the open lattice window and half-leaned on the side of the fresh fruit in her mouth to enjoy the scenery from her home, and when the rain stopped, she could re-erect the grape trellis and wipe the swing clean. Sitting on it and doing nothing will make you feel good.

Mrs. Su sent a few new little girls to Tingzhu Yuan, and the maids in Su Qing's house came to talk to Rosin about embroidery every two days. For a short time, Takekuin became the most popular place.

Time rewinds to half a month ago, and the second lady Song was lying on the chaise longue with half-squinted eyes, as if she was sleeping but not sleeping. The maids in the room hung their heads and did not dare to move at will and make a sound.

Aunt Liu knelt beside the chaise longue, and the ten jade fingers were moderately strong to pinch the eldest lady's legs and dredge the blood. After the second lady's internal injuries were all healed, the Song family often called Aunt Liu to come to her house, saying that they were chatting with each other, but they were just changing ways to set rules for Aunt Liu.

Often, standing for an hour, returning to my house with sore and swollen legs, I can't complain about the exit. Now she has been kneeling for half an hour, only to feel that her physical strength is gradually exhausted, her mind is blurred, and she is about to fall down in the next second.

The Song family didn't want to embarrass her too much, they just wanted her to know who had the final say in Youlan Courtyard. Squinted and saw her body shaking, her face was not good, and she was about to collapse, so she was kind enough to let her go back.

Aunt Liu just got up and walked a few steps and suddenly fainted to the ground, Song and Zhang's mother were frightened for a moment, calmed down and commanded their subordinates to help Aunt Liu go back, and went to the doctor as quickly as possible.

The Song family was also panicked for a moment, and he had already found an excuse in his heart. calmed down the panic in his heart, sat on the sidelines, and waited for the doctor to take the pulse. The result was to make her grit her teeth, Aunt Liu was already a month pregnant, because she was too tired and sympathetic to her body to faint, and she needed to be warm and nourishing to stabilize the fetus in the early stage.

It was a great joy to add a new child, and the whole house was surprised. There are those who envy, and there are those who resent. When Mrs. Su learned about it, she was so happy that she almost couldn't sit still. Immediately asked Qin's mother to go to Youlan Courtyard with nourishing medicinal materials to confirm the authenticity. As the lady of the main house, the Song family couldn't put the hatred on her face, and she had to rearrange Aunt Liu's house with joy, and a steady stream of good things were sent in, and a few clever maids were added to serve on the side.

The happiest is the second old man Su Hong, who is proud of the red face every day, and stays in Aunt Liu's house for several days. If it weren't for seeing Song's eyes and complaining, he would have restrained himself and made more time to accompany Song's mother and daughter.

Now the most expensive body is Aunt Liu, who is dressed for fear of being uncomfortable. The good things were sent to her house first. The daily nourishing decoction is indispensable, and the color before pregnancy is just ordinary haggard, and now the delicate ruddy face is obviously seen every day of tonic. also insisted on going to the Song family every day to ask for peace, but his stomach was not yet showing the appearance of being carefully supported, so angry that the Song family broke a few porcelain cups to vent his anger.

Aunt Liu's mother's house used to be a branch of a small official's mansion, and the crimes of the immediate family involved their family. The petty officials and ministers could only watch their homes being sealed and homeless.

and her elderly parents planned to go out of the city to seek refuge with distant relatives, but they never wanted to be taken by the bullies and rob her to go back to be the wife of Aunt Qifang. During the quarrel, her parents were pushed to the ground, and just when she was about to give up struggling, Su Hong took the guards to the rescue.

Su Hong took pity on her and gave her a house to shelter from the rain and wind, and gave her parents a sum of silver taels to settle down. A year after entering the house, she gave birth to a daughter.

Aunt Liu knew that she couldn't fight the second lady Song, as long as she could have food and clothing, she would never compete for favor, and only guarded her daughter to live a stable life. It's just that she will only suffer her daughter if she has no quarrel with the world like this, and she can't stand up in front of outsiders, and she can't teach much the books she read when she was young. Over the years, her daughter's temperament has been taciturn and she doesn't like to go out. The clothes and jewelry worn are all old and outdated, and the most valuable ones are a few things sent by Su Xiangsi.

One morning, when Su Xiangsi got up late and hurried to ask Mrs. Su for peace, she found that Aunt Liu was also there, although her stomach was not yet visible, she was very careful in every action. It seems that I cherish the nervous baby.

Although Mrs. Su was reproachful in her mouth, the joy in her words was clear: "You are not stable now, and you are still here to ask Enke not to be tired." ”

"The slave maid please be safe is also the child in the womb to the old lady please be safe, the slave and the maid hope that this child can be as sensible and filial as her sister-in-law." Speaking of the child, Aunt Liu was full of maternal love, and put one hand on her flat belly.

Mrs. Su happily told her what to pay attention to during pregnancy, and everything that enters her mouth must be tested before she can eat it with confidence. Stayed for lunch before letting Aunt Liu go back to rest.

Since then, Aunt Liu's clothes have become noble, and the hair accessories of the headdress have become exquisite. I often hold my stomach in one hand and enjoy playing in the garden.

After Song gave birth to Su Yiling, her stomach never moved, and the doctor checked that her body was not damaged. Unwillingly, he also went to Ji's house to ask for a pulse, and there was really nothing wrong with his body. The pregnant Fang Zi also spent a lot of money in private, but it had no effect, and after a long time, the stomachs of the other aunts did not move, and the obsession in his heart was slowly let go.

Now Aunt Liu's baby, whether it is a boy or a girl, cannot stay.

"A mother can leave her son to go to his mother." How could Su Yiling not know her thoughts? The child is gone, but Aunt Liu is still serving in front of her father.

Song was silent for a long time: "There is no need to stay for either of them." "Dealing with Aunt Liu in the early years would not have such a thing as today.

If you want to harm people's lives, you can't use your own hands, and you have to be seamless. I can't move for the time being, so I can only be more attentive to Aunt Liu. The aunt is pregnant, and the lady of the main house is happier than the master.

When Qingmeiin and Tingzhuyuan received the news, they both sent people to send some things over. Su Xiangsi even went to Aunt Liu's house to visit, and heard that the things in the bamboo courtyard were several times better than the things in the Song family's house, which made the Song family's eyes red for a while.

The eldest lady's housekeeper also had to open the treasury of the General's Mansion to pick up things and send them over, and Aunt Liu's pregnancy sounded a wake-up call for her. There are two aunts in her yard, and she can't guard against the first day of junior high and can't prevent fifteen. What's more, the husband often goes out to negotiate, and he has to guard against raising foxes outside.

Su Xiangsi stretched out her hand to catch the drizzle, feeling a little cool in her palm. Such weather is the most comfortable and most agreeable. If you can live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, make a pot of tea, listen to the sound of drizzle falling on the petals of the leaves, and slowly fall asleep in the spring. Such a day is what she has been asking for, but now she is in troubled times.

There are some things that can't be delayed, and it's time to do it.

"Liu Wu, I remember that there is a fifty-year-old ginseng in the warehouse, and you will send it to Aunt Liu tomorrow." Su Xiangsi's little head poked out of the window and called out to a few girls under the corridor.

"Whoa." The catkins responded, put down the embroidery in his hand, got up and walked in the direction of the warehouse.

Su Xiangsi retracted his head and sighed in his heart, to cherish the rare and leisurely days now.
