Chapter 2 Small Characters Show Sincerity
The second lady of Zhuzhi County, Xingxian County, gave birth, tossed for two days, and finally gave birth to a daughter, but what people didn't expect was that the child was born, but the pregnant woman had no voice. Ruyu, the wife of the main room who was waiting for her husband outside the delivery room, was about to die in a hurry.
"Grandma Wen, how is the second lady?" Mrs. Ruyu asked eagerly,
There was still no one to answer in the delivery room, only to hear the people inside in a hurry, and the sound of various things and utensils bumping, but no one answered, which was really anxious Mrs. Ruyu.
After a long time, I only heard an exhausted voice inside shouting weakly: "Sister, don't worry, Qingxuan is fine." The last good word is already a sound of anger. Mrs. Ruyu, who was standing at the door, was about to die in a hurry, and she was a little relieved to hear Qingyan's voice, and wanted to push the door in, but she thought that she had just finished giving birth, and she was afraid of taking a shower, so she couldn't sit in confinement, so she had to wait outside the door, anxiously waiting.
"Grandma, what's going on with Qingxuan?" Mrs. Ruyu shouted the name of the second lady regardless of her face, and she was really anxious to think about it.
"Don't worry, ma'am." One of them replied.
After another half a pillar of incense, the door of the delivery room opened a crack, and a stable grandmother walked out holding a wooden basin filled with blood and water.
"Mrs. Hui, the second lady and mother and daughter are safe!" Hearing this, Ruyu finally took a reassuring pill.
"Why did it take so long to reply?" Mrs. Ruyu asked.
"Ouch, I scared us to death just now, the second lady suddenly couldn't stop the flow of blood, everyone thought it was a blood collapse, and after cleaning it up for a while, they found that it was too much amniotic fluid and washed out the residual blood inside, we cleaned it up and checked it repeatedly, in the end, it was okay, a false alarm, and I hurried out to go back with you. Now the second lady has fallen asleep, and the young lady has also fallen asleep. "Grandma Wen was sweating profusely, thinking that she was in a hurry just now.
"That's good, that's good......" Mrs. Ruyu stroked her chest with both hands, let out a sigh of relief, and finally let go of her hanging heart, saying that her feet were soft, and the whole person was paralyzed, and the maid next to her hurriedly came over to help her and helped her sit in the chair.
"Madame, are you alright?" The maid asked with concern. "Drink a sip of hot tea, you have been boiling with this for the past two days, you must be tired."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay for the mother and son to be safe, and I'm worthy of the master." Mrs. Ruyu gulped down the tea, bowl after bowl, and drank three bowls before putting down the tea bowl.
"Mother Feng, hurry up, stew the old hen for the second lady, and you can drink it when you wake up in a while. Giving birth to a child is a matter of life and death, and if you survive it, you have to keep up with the nutrition, so as not to affect the milk. ”
"Yes!" Feng Maying went to the back kitchen with a smile on her face.
"Little Liuzi, hurry up and tell your master that the second lady has added a thousand gold to our family. Just go! Be careful on the road! ”
"Yes!" Xiao Liuzi ran away.
"Come back!" Madame Ruyu called him back again. Then he took a hot lotus leaf bag from the maid's hand and handed it to Xiao Liuzi. "Your lord hasn't been home for seven or eight days, this pack of elbow meat is for your lord to bring, let the lord also get a touch of meat, don't be too tired."
"Order!" Xiao Liuzi is a half-sized child, and the big one put the lotus leaf bag into his arms, and he was not afraid of oiling his clothes, and then ran away.
"You go and come back quickly, so that everyone who can come back in the yamen will come back, and everyone will stew meat in the house at night!" Mrs. Ruyu shouted compassionately towards the door.
"Got it, ma'am!" Xiao Liuzi's voice ran farther and farther.
Mrs. Ruyu sent away the little six sons, and thanked a few Lang Zhong and Wen Po grandmothers who had been waiting for the treatment, each of them sealed a big red envelope, and asked them to go back to rest temporarily.
It is also strange to say, as soon as the daughter of Zhufu landed, the heavy rain in Xingxian County stopped, and after half a day, the sun also showed its head, and the people opened the door one after another, and began to clean up the courtyard, and the streets returned to the prosperity of the past. The imperial court has also been commended many times, and the emperor's imperial book plaque, which symbolizes the highest praise of the imperial court, was carried back to the old residence of the Zhu family one by one. But that's all for later.
Nowadays, on the ground of Xingxian County, on the streets of the market, it is rumored that the daughter of the county grandfather Zhu is a lucky star, and it has brought blessings to the people of Xingxian County as soon as he was born, which also brought Zhu Xun a better reputation.
On this day, after Mrs. Ruyu took care of the second lady's mother and daughter to sleep, she rested in the recliner in the courtyard, and heard the sound of Feng's mother talking to someone at the back door, and even the voice was getting louder and louder. Mrs. Ruyu got up and went to look. After reading it, I realized that another mother-in-law came to send newly picked melons and vegetables to the family, and Mrs. hurriedly stepped forward to excuse herself.
"Old man, thank you for thinking about us, you can take this dish back, we can't ask for it." Ruyu excused.
"Madam, we have all heard that Uncle Zhu's family is hard, the second lady is still in confinement, we are all women, we all understand, we can't cut off nutrition, or there is no milk, I am not a chicken, duck and fish with real money, just a little bit of vegetables and melons grown by myself, and there is not much money, you can accept it."
"Mother-in-law, it's not that we don't accept it, it's really that our county master has been telling the yamen to be undisciplined with the people, and you can't let us accept it, mother-in-law, you can go back." Ruyu pushed again, and her eyes motioned for Feng's mother and the maid to send off the guests together.
What else does the old woman have to say, Feng Ma and the maid have already helped the old man to go out, what else does the old woman have to say, Feng Ma chatted with her about homely things, as soon as she broke down, the old woman followed Feng Ma away, and the maid followed Madame, went back to the backyard of the county government, and sat in the recliner to rest.
"Madam, you said, it's also strange, as soon as our young lady landed, the rain in our county stopped, you see, that day hung in the sky every day, and the flood in our county was solved." The maid pinched Mrs. Ruyu's shoulder.
"It's not your master's credit, presumably he is so conscientious and conscientious for the people, and he is also moved by God. You little hoof, learn to talk! "Mrs. Ruyu reminded." However, the eldest girl in our family is indeed a blessed one, and when the rain stops, your lord can go home and live every day. ”
"What you're saying is, of course, it's our master's credit. This flood has been cured by the master, I heard the little sixth son say that the old man has organized the villagers to rebuild the embankment in the past few days, and even he asked the master to send the old man to the construction site to do some odd work. You said, the embankment has been repaired, is our lord going to be promoted this time, ma'am? ”
"Liter what liter! Don't you know, the county officials in this Xingxian County are different from other places, as long as the prefect and the governor hand over the excerpt of the praise, they may be promoted immediately. The county officials of Xingxian County are directly sent by the imperial court, not under the prefect's jurisdiction, but directly under the imperial court, and the imperial court has a six-year term of office for the officials of Xingxian County, regardless of whether their political performance is good or not, they must stay for six years. As she spoke, Madame Ruyu sighed.
"Huh? Doesn't that bury our master's talent? ”
"It's not buried, the county lords elsewhere are all seven-grade, your lord is from the fifth grade, and in terms of official qualities, he is half of the governor, and the Yulu is also higher, and the court does not treat us badly."
"Then our lord can't be promoted for six years! Our lord is so good, and he is good to the people, can't such a good official court be promoted in advance? The maid was heartfelt.
"Hey, you don't understand this, there are two kinds of officials in this world, one is a corrupt official, the other is a clean official, what kind of master do you say our family is?"
"Naturally, it's a clean official! Our lord went out to work but didn't even eat a mouthful of the people's food, he really couldn't shirk it, and he secretly left the silver before leaving! ...... "The maid said a lot of things about the master, and what she said was worship and grievances for the master.
"That's not the end of it. The officials of this world, those who are greedy, will never come to Xingxian, because Xingxian is very different from other places, if it is done, it may not be known to the imperial court, and it is bad, but it is always careful, not to mention greedy for money and grain, our Xingxian County's silver and grain, are all a separate account of the household department, how much, the court understands it better than your lord, you say, but whoever is greedy, who can come here? ”
"Oh, I see. No wonder I heard before that some people in the previous dynasty would rather break their legs than come to Xingxian! The maid talked about the rumors she had heard.
"Shhh......hhhh You little hoof, be careful when you speak, don't talk nonsense about this kind of rumor! Always remember that we are officials! ”
The maid quickly silenced.
"By the way, has the master written the post of our eldest girl's birthday?"
"Mrs. Hui, I wrote it yesterday and put it on the master's bookcase, do you want to see it, madam?"
"Bring it, I'll see."
The maid hurriedly took it and handed it to Mrs. Ruyu.
"On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the year of Xuhai...... "Mrs. Ruyu read, "yo! Our eldest girl was born on the Duanyang Festival, no wonder the rain stopped, Duanyang is the day when the yang energy is at its peak, it's really a good day, a good day! You see, I'm so busy that I can't even remember my child's birthday. Our eldest girl is still a pig, and this pig child is already blessed, and these two blessings are together. ”
Mrs. Ruyu looked at the birthday sticker, with a smile on her face.
"Mrs. is busy these days, on the day the second lady gave birth, you almost fainted, everyone is looking at it, the wife of other families, who cares about the second room and the third room, I can't wait to be gone, you alone, I love the second lady the most, we all say in private that the second lady has been blessed in her life, and she has been sheltered by you."
"You'll be there." Mrs. Ruyu smiled, "If I hadn't been running around with your master a few years ago and hurt the roots, I would have had another child in the past few years, but there is no way, your master is the Zhu family's long house, and it is the person Ding Xingwang, how can I do it with one child?" Besides, your second lady is also good to Xu'er, treat her as her own child, she treats me well, I treat her better, our ladies are harmonious, and your lord is also more worry-free. ”
Mrs. Ruyu flipped over the birthday sticker, and it read "Zhu's Jinhua, small character Xing'er". Ruyu looked at it and smiled, she had been with Zhu Xun for many years, and she knew Zhu Xun's heart best, and she smiled from her heart when she saw this name.
"Madame, what are you laughing at?" The maid was puzzled.
"Of course I'm laughing at you lords." As he spoke, he pointed to the words on the sticker. "Our eldest girl, the big name is Jinhua, your master also gave a small character, I will laugh at this small character."
"What small print? Tell me about it. "This maid was illiterate.
"Xing'er! The star of the lucky star. Ha ha! Madame laughed as she spoke.
The maid was puzzled, why Mrs. Ruyu laughed, Ruyu naturally wouldn't explain to her, about the official body. But I thought to myself: Master, master, always tell us not to be superstitious, in fact, the most superstitious is you. Thinking about it, he handed the eight-character sticker to the maid and stood up.
"In the past year and a half, the second lady has added two more young masters, and our sisters will have complete merit!" Madame Ruyu said, yawned, got up and went back to her room. After confessing to the maid, he divided the eight-character sticker into three parts, and sent the reliable little guy to the capital, the old house of the Zhu family, and one copy of each of the Longwan family.
