25

As I thought, the seventeenth year of Zhenguan represents unrest, the afternoon of the sixth day of the first year, Li Niang, Qiang'er have come back with their children, just after lunch, the porter came in and said that there was a guest at the door, and only two words were written on the sticker, the deceased. I asked my sister-in-law to take a look, and I changed my clothes and went to the front hall to meet the guests with suspicion. There was a noble lady sitting in the hall, elegantly drinking the tea offered by the next person, and when she saw me come out, she did not stand up, but nodded slightly, and her beautiful eyes also looked me up and down. I think I know who she is, and Sister-in-law Xiang was about to come over and say something, so I smiled, "Please come out to meet the eldest lady, the third lady." ”

Sister-in-law Xiang was stunned for a moment, but looked back at the woman and went down silently. I sat down, not knowing how to speak, staring at the tip of my shoe.

"Grandma, my brother grabbed my key." Hui Zhi rushed out first, with tears on his face. Toshiyuki also followed.

"No, it's that she doesn't play and puts it aside, and when I play, she comes to fight with me again."

"That's what my uncle made for me!" Huizhi stopped doing it, crying non-stop, I sighed, reached out to Minzhi, Minzhi had no choice but to put the key back in my hand, and I gave it back to Huizhi. She immediately burst into tears and laughed, I gently wiped away the tears for her with a handroll, and took out a few copper coins to Minzhi, "Let the porter take you to buy sugar gourds." ”

He took the money and thought about it, "I'll call Sister Zizi." He rushed back to the backyard, and he didn't know what kind of generation his son was, Minzhi called her sister, and she called Qiang'er sister, and I didn't bother to care, I didn't bother to ask, so they went.

"Grandma, I want two." Huizhi said as he looked at me with wide eyes, and I was stunned for a moment and laughed.

"Why?" She doesn't like that.

"Just two." Huizhi doesn't know who she looks like, her things are not going to be picked up by others, and she likes to grab other people's things. Fortunately, Toshiyuki and his son are easy-going and don't care about her, but this also fuels this temper even more.

"Ma'am." The lady beside me finally spoke. I sighed softly and looked up at her, but she looked at Huizhi.

"This is Li Niang's daughter, Hui Zhi; The one just now is Huizhi's brother, named Minzhi, named by His Majesty himself. ”

She looked at Huizhi, her eyes were not warm, and Huizhi was a little afraid and shrunk in my arms.

"It's a beautiful embryo." She nodded. Minzhi followed Liniang and they came out together, Minzhi saluted the guests, and ran out with his son and Huizhi. Although the son is the biggest, Toshiyuki always feels that he is a boy and has to be very strong.

Liniang and Qiang'er didn't know why I wanted them to come out to meet the guests, so they hurriedly changed their clothes and came out.

Li Niang saw the woman's sudden shock, her face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and looked at me for a while, and said to me in a formal manner, "What is the matter with my mother calling her daughter out." ”

"It's okay, come and sit down, my mother is a little tired, you help my mother accompany the guests." I smiled and bowed to the lady. He stepped back and closed the door to the hall. instructed his subordinates not to approach, so he went back to the backyard and sat with Xiang's sister-in-law.

"Who's coming?" The mother-in-law saw that it was unusual, and asked in a low voice for a long time.

"I don't know, I'm a little lazy and let Liniang say hello!" I was staring at the fire, what was this lady doing at this moment? How many years have you been moving to Chang'an? Want to see your daughter come now? Yes, I said I didn't hate her, but I still didn't want to see her, my husband died because of her, and she used her resentment to almost destroy our whole family.

My mother-in-law looked at me deeply, stopped talking, and said something irrelevant to my sister-in-law, and I listened quietly.

"Mother! Qiang Er is about to give birth. Liniang rushed in and screamed miserably, my sister-in-law and I were frightened, and rushed into the front hall regardless of the number of etiquette, Qiang'er sat on the couch and cried, her skirt had been dyed red, she saw me and cried even more: "Mother, I'm not giving birth, it hurts." ”

"Stupid words, you have to pass this level." Sister-in-law Xiang shouted, and Qiang'er saw her mother-in-law start gritting her teeth and didn't dare to cry anymore.

"Go and ask Wen Po, and send someone to tell the little official to come back quickly." I hugged her, comforted her, and instructed the people to start doing things, "Come on, send the young lady to the delivery room." ”

"Mother, I'm in so much pain." Qiang Er whispered.

"Don't be afraid, it will hurt, you have to be a mother too, you can't cry anymore, the baby will laugh." I smiled and kissed her, and the two powerful mothers-in-law lifted her into the makeshift delivery room. Sister-in-law Xiang has given birth to children and helped people deliver children, and she has been preparing boiling water and preparing scissors and white cloth in an orderly manner.

I thought about taking some snacks and feeding her carefully, she was too painful to eat, I still coaxed her to eat, giving birth to a child is a hard work, how can I do it if I don't eat enough. Wen Po finally arrives and guides Qiang Er to give birth to her and Button's first boy. I have been with me in the delivery room, and when I heard the baby's cry, I burst into tears and wiped away the sweaty Qiang'er, "Did you hear it, it was born." ”

"I'm so tired, mother, spanking him, it hurts me so much." Rose smiled weakly. Wen Po cleaned up the child and hugged her, I handed it to Qiang'er, Qiang'er looked at it and laughed, for a while, "Forget it!" Keep it on the books and play again in the future. After saying that, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

I wrapped the baby in a fur mattress and carefully carried it out, and the delivery room was full of people. I took it to my mother-in-law, and she was overjoyed. The woman hadn't even left, so she came over to take a look, took out a piece of jade pendant and gently put it in the swaddling clothes. I didn't refuse, the button rushed over, a little stammering, but I didn't dare to speak, and looked cautiously at the baby in my hand. I gently put it in his arms, "It's a boy, go back and think of a name!" ”

"Where's Qiang'er?" He stared at me.

"She made you spank the baby, and it hurt her so much." It's not bad, I haven't forgotten the child's mother. I deliberately teased him to see what he was going to do.

"Good!" He seemed to be ready to really fight, but was stopped by me and Sister-in-law Xiang. The mother-in-law laughed, the mother-in-law laughed, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, the children rushed over to see the baby, and the small courtyard was full of laughter.

Yang looked at me silently for a while, then walked up to me, "Madam, the old man has taken his leave." ”

I nodded, looked at Liniang, and wanted her to send it, but she twisted her head away, and I had to send her out.

When she got into the sedan chair, she said softly, "Thank you, I'm sorry." ”

Before I could react, she had already lowered the curtain and ordered the sedan car to be opened. I had to watch her leave in silence.

In the evening, Liniang left with the children without saying a word, I didn't ask, and I didn't know how to ask.

Qiang'er stayed at home to do confinement, she didn't seem to know anything, said that as soon as she entered the hall, she felt a little painful, and wanted to come out, but she saw Liniang's face was blue, and she didn't dare, so she had to endure it. To put it pitifully, I knew that she was actually trying to avoid taking supplements, so I forced her to drink a big bowl of angelica chicken soup. From what Qiang'er heard, Li Niang and Yang shouldn't have had a chance to say anything. Alas, Bai gave them a chance to talk, but Qiang Er didn't seem to recognize Yang at all.
