Chapter XXXVII
Zheng Lingyi stayed in the county lord's room for a while, and the two didn't know what they were discussing, but when they opened the door again, Biguo went straight to the outer courtyard to find Zheng Guogong.
There was already some coolness in the evening, and the county lord of Ruiyang took a tulle shawl handed over by Bijiao, wrapped it around his shoulders and neck, and said to Zheng Lingyi, whose eyes were red and swollen like peaches: "Are you hungry?" Why don't you go out and eat? ”
Zheng Lingyi pointed to his face, and his fingers poked a small depression on his face, "No, you have to apply powder." ”
"Do you still want to apply powder?" The county lord saw the white and greasy skin, and then applied yellow powder, and also felt a sense of regret for walking in brocade at night.
Zheng Lingyi raised her eyes to look at the county lord, and from this angle, her originally slightly drooping eyes were slightly fluttering, coupled with the red marks at the end of her eyes and jade-like skin, she became more and more cunning and coquettish.
"County Lord, am I good-looking?"
The county lord of Ruiyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, nodded, and understood what Zheng Lingyi meant.
If a woman does not have a beautiful color, although she will inevitably sigh long and short when she looks at herself in the mirror, she can also reduce the jealousy and resentment of many others.
Bijiao went to get the yellow powder for Zheng Lingyi and came back, seeing the layers of yellow powder on it, Bijiao couldn't help but sigh and said to Zheng Lingyi: "Sister, why are you willing to treat your face like this?" Other sisters have to put on some delicate face powder, snow jade powder. ”
Zheng Lingyi dusted his ears with a puff and smiled heartlessly at Bijiao.
Zheng Lingyi happened to dress up, Mama Zhao asked to see her outside the door, she first glanced at Zheng Lingyi when she came in, and saw that the county lord did not mean to let Zheng Lingyi avoid it, so she said: "County lord, the ninth sister has gone to Anheju." ”
The county lord took a small velvet brush in his hand, walked around Zheng Lingyi's face, and said, "Want to eat two meals?" Is there such a cheap thing in this world? ”
Zheng Lingyi pursed his lips, firstly, because the velvet brush rubbed his lips, it was really itchy. The second is also because he is afraid to speak.
After getting along with the county lord in the past few days, hearing her indifferent tone, coupled with the coldness between her eyebrows, Zheng Lingyi knew that she was angry.
"You go to eat with Bijiao first." The county lord said to Zheng Lingyi, and then turned to Mama Zhao and said, "Mama, you stay, I have something to tell you to do." ”
Mama Zhao respectfully stood beside the county lord, and saw Zheng Lingyi and Bijiao go out together, before she said lightly: "The county lord has a good eye for this sister." ”
"It's just my temperament and my appetite." The county lord's eyebrows relaxed, and he said: "He is also a transparent and smart person." ”
After that, she hooked her fingers, Mama Zhao bent down and listened carefully, and after hearing this, she showed a little surprise and said, "The old slave knows." ”
People in this world have their own hearts and shackles, but the ruler is long and the inch is short, and there is always a place where they can achieve each other.
……
In the past few days when Zheng Lingyi was not in Xiyuan, the weather was getting colder and colder, but everyone seemed to be even less fond of going out.
Mama Gu and Brother Qing patrol the door of Aunt Jiang's room every day, just waiting for Aunt Jiang's giving birth.
Aunt Wan always came secretly with Zheng Mianmian, looking at Aunt Jiang's pointed belly worriedly.
Zheng Changchang stood on tiptoe and looked out through the crack in the window, looked back and waved her hand to Aunt Wan, signaling that Brother Qing was not at the door.
Aunt Wan was next to Aunt Jiang and whispered: "I asked, An Heju didn't let Aunt Ai drink medicine every day, why did you give your sister to drink alone?" Do you feel uncomfortable? ”
"It's just a little heartburn, it's not a big deal." As soon as Aunt Jiang spoke, her voice was hoarse and scary, and she smiled at Aunt Wan to show comfort.
"I came back to see you last fifteen, what did you say?" Aunt Wan looked at the exquisite pastries on the table and unceremoniously picked one up to eat.
Aunt Jiang coughed slightly, under her slender eyelashes, her eyes were complicated, with both reluctance and relief.
"Said that the county lord is elegant and luxurious, and treats her very well." Aunt Jiang drank another sip of water, and her throat was much clearer.
"I always feel that fifteen is a blessed person, this child has a hidden energy, and he will meet a noble person in his life." Aunt Wan said with a serious face.
Aunt Jiang was about to speak, when she suddenly felt a familiar labor pain and told her to scream.
The pain was too intense, it seemed to be an axe, it was difficult for her to endure it, her fingers were weak to grasp on the smooth tabletop, she looked at Aunt Wan in horror, and said with difficulty: "Yu Niang." ”
"Sister, I, I'm going to look for someone." Aunt Wan is also a person who has given birth after all, how can she not know what happened when she sees this, and hurriedly said.
"Qiaoluo!" Aunt Jiang couldn't help but scream in pain and said, "Go quickly, go and find your sister!" ”
If it's late, I'm afraid that Qiaoluo won't be able to get out of the West Garden!
Qiao Luo hurriedly ran out, and happened to ask Mama Gu and Brother Qing in the corridor to see her galloping figure.
Brother Qing said loudly: "Qiaoluo! What to do. ”
Qiaoluo turned a deaf ear and ran straight out of the gate of Xiyuan, as if there were pursuers behind him.
"Hmph." Mama Gu snorted coldly and said to Brother Qing: "Aunt Jiang must be giving birth, go find Aunt Hua and Aunt Tang." ”
Brother Qing said a little worriedly: "That Qiaoluo......
"What else could she do? Looking for the country's grandfather? Grandpa Guo is not in the house today, and it is useless to look for it, so tell her to go and make a fuss. Let's get better. Mama Gu said for granted.
The two soldiers divided into two ways, Brother Qing went towards Anheju, and Mama Gu walked towards Aunt Jiang's house in a menacing manner.
Aunt Jiang had already asked Aunt Wan to help her to the inner room, and the two children named Qiaoxiu took them back to Aunt Wan's house, and Lu Nong was instructed by Aunt Wan to boil water.
Only Aunt Wan stayed on Aunt Jiang's bed, held her hand, and kept saying, "Sister, don't be afraid, Yu Niang is here with you." ”
Both hands were sweaty and tightly clasped together.
"Aunt Wan, Aunt Tang will be here soon, it's useless for you to be here, let's go out and wait." Mama Gu saw that Aunt Wan was in the way, so she said condescendingly.
"No, Mama, I, I want to stay here." Aunt Wan struggled.
"Mother-in-law, I'm alone now, why can't I help you, auntie, wait for a helper, don't blame my mother-in-law for being merciless and throwing my aunt out."
Mama Gu never took her aunts seriously, and at this time, she was on an errand, and she was even more polite to speak.
Seeing that Aunt Wan still didn't move, Mama Gu kicked on her and walked to Aunt Jiang's bedside by herself.
Aunt Jiang had just survived the pain, and when she saw Aunt Wan fall to the ground, she said weakly and distressedly: "Yu Niang, you can go out." ”
Aunt Wan glanced at Mama Gu in fear, but shook her head desperately.
Mama Gu no longer paid attention to her, only lifted Aunt Jiang's dress, and saw that her lower body was not as red as expected, her old face suddenly darkened, and she said angrily: "Have you drunk the daily medicine!" ”
"Drink, drink, Brother Qing girl saw it with her own eyes, ah!! Yes!! After Aunt Jiang finished speaking, a sharp pain hit her again, and she couldn't help screaming, which made Aunt Wan's heart tremble.
Aunt Jiang's screams inexplicably added some credibility to her words, and Aunt Gu thought that it was because the medicine was not enough, so she only watched Aunt Jiang sweating profusely, and her sideburns were wet and painful on the mattress.
"Why can't you think of today when you're happy?" Mama Gu sneered.
This is really embarrassing, Aunt Jiang bit her lower lip to death, but she was still screamed by the waves, wave after wave of severe pain.
At this time, Aunt Tang came to Xiyuan with a few stout mothers-in-law, and Mama Gu really asked them to throw Aunt Wan out.
Anyway, she is also an aunt who gave birth to a sister, and she didn't make any big mistakes, but she asked her mother-in-law to treat her like this, and she didn't leave any affection.
Aunt Wan's crotch bone fell a little hard, and she was paralyzed on the ground for a while and couldn't get up, Lu Nong was hurriedly coming back with hot water, seeing that Aunt Wan was soft in the yard, she hurriedly put the basin on the flower bed and went to help Aunt Wan.
"Don't worry about me, you go into the house and take a look at my sister." Aunt Wan was dragged up by Lu Nong, sat on the flower bed and stroked the place where Fang had just fallen, and hurriedly said.
Lu Nong picked up the hot water and walked inside, she stayed in for a while, and Aunt Wan saw that Lu Nong was pushed out by a mother-in-law.
After all, he was used to doing rough work, and Lu Nong just took two steps backwards in a row before standing still.
She thought that Mama Gu would let her stay, but she didn't think about it, but she was still in the way and pushed out.
Now that there is only Aunt Jiang in that room, how scared she should be.
Lu Nong patted the door a few times, but to no avail, so he had to sit on the flower bed with Aunt Wan, waiting anxiously.
Aunt Wan was bowing her head and enduring the pain, when she suddenly saw Lu Nong stand up and said, "Aunt Hua, you are here." ”
Aunt Hua ignored them, and only said to the maid behind her: "Lock the courtyard door, no one is allowed to enter." ”
"Aunt Hua," Aunt Wan stood up suddenly, the soreness in her hips called her a wood, and said bitterly, "You don't have to close the courtyard door." The birth of a child is heavy in blood, and the courtyard door is opened and dispersed faster. ”
She said this as if she was saying it to herself, and Aunt Hua didn't even look at her, and went straight to the house.
Aunt Wan softened and asked Lu Nong to take her back to her room.
"Qiaoxiu, Qiaoxiu, you go to the side door of Xiyuan to watch, if Qiaoluo can't find the way back, you go and show her the way." Aunt Wan lay on the table and held her waist and commanded.
In fact, Aunt Wan couldn't understand why Aunt Jiang asked Qiaoluo to find Zheng Lingyi, instead of Zheng Guogong, could it be a teenage girl, what else could she do.
But if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, Aunt Wan believes that Aunt Jiang's approach must have a reason.
Qiaoxiu nodded again and again, but glanced at Lu Nong with some weakness.
Lu Nong was holding the two children and coaxing quietly, his eyes full of worry and pity.
Seeing this, Qiaoxiu still quietly slipped out and went all the way to the side door along the root of the wall.
Aunt Jiang was in surging pain at the moment, and she was powerless to protect herself, let alone her children.
She saw a faint plain dress flickering in front of her eyes, and suddenly fell into an ice cave.
"Aunt Jiang is really blessed." Aunt Hua took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Aunt Tang said, your baby is a male fetus, you should give birth hard, and it is good to have a son." ”
Aunt Jiang looked at Aunt Hua with teary eyes, and she struggled to raise her upper body with the strength she didn't know where she was born, and said, "Please, beg Auntie to be kind and let the child go." ”
Aunt Hua ignored it, and only said to Aunt Tang: "Is it almost?" ”
Aunt Tang glanced at Aunt Jiang's lower body, and when she saw that the child had already appeared, she nodded.
Aunt Hua covered her mouth and yawned, and said, "Hurry up." Brother, there's something I need to deal with. ”
Aunt Tang answered, and stretched out her hand to Aunt Jiang's lower body.
Aunt Jiang struggled to dodge and was held down by several mothers-in-law.
"Ahh Yes! Yes!!! ”
Aunt Jiang's mournful voice even reached Aunt Wan's house, and Zheng Changchang cried out and said, "Auntie! Aunt! ”
