Chapter 1 Su Mucheng and his wife
The prime minister's wife has been married for eight years, but the prime minister's wife's stomach has not moved.
It is the day of April, the spring is bright, there is a flower garden in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is specially built by the Prime Minister Su Mucheng for the Prime Minister's wife Ye Zixuan, and it is a good season for a hundred flowers to compete for beauty.
Ye Zixuan took a break in the courtyard, Su Mucheng went back to the house and strolled to the courtyard, the maidservant Aya was about to salute, Su Mucheng hurriedly stopped and signaled Aya to go down first, and was afraid that Ye Zixuan would catch a cold, so he went into the house and took a piece of clothing to put on her.
Ye Zixuan opened her sleepy eyes and saw that it was Su Mucheng.
"Hmm, Mu Cheng, you're back."
Su Mucheng's eyes were full of distress: "Did it wake you up?" ”
Ye Zixuan shook her head and gently took off the petals that the breeze blew on Su Mucheng's shoulder.
Asked softly, "Tired, I prepared your favorite hibiscus cake." ”
Su Mucheng held Ye Zixuan's hand lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Su Mucheng and Ye Zixuan came to the hall and saw the old lady sitting on the high hall.
"Mother"
Su Mucheng and Ye Zixuan saluted.
"Sit down."
Then the old lady looked at Ye Zixuan, extremely gentle: "Zixuan, you have been married to Cheng'er for eight years, and your husband and wife are also very affectionate, why don't you see a movement in your stomach." ”
Ye Zixuan has never been able to get pregnant, which is also a hurdle in her heart, she always feels that she has mistaken the incense of the Su family.
Ye Zixuan felt guilty: "Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who is incompetent, it's better to take a concubine for Mu Cheng, so as to continue the incense of our Su family." ”
When Su Mucheng heard this, he suddenly became anxious: "Madam, what are you talking about, I promised you a couple for the rest of your life, how can you have the idea of taking a concubine for me." ”
The old lady listened to her daughter-in-law's words, and she was also unhappy: "Don't say that Cheng'er doesn't agree, I won't agree either, how do you treat our Su family, can you be a mother?" Even if my Su family cuts off the incense, I will never let Cheng'er take a concubine and let you suffer half of the grievances. ”
In the rich and noble family or the house of the official eunuch, it is common for the head of the family to accept three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the mother of the house has not been pregnant for a long time, and it is even more reasonable for the head of the house to take a concubine.
Not only does the prime minister not have three wives and four concubines, but even the prime minister's wife has no heirs, and the old lady still loves the prime minister's wife very much.
Eight years ago, the prime minister Su Mucheng was still a scholar who had achieved nothing, Ye Zixuan was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, because of fate, the two fell in love at first sight, and then despite the opposition of the family, they also wanted to marry Su Mucheng, and even were kicked out of the house for this.
Later, Ye Zixuan married into the Su family, a rich daughter, ten fingers do not touch the spring water, a wife, started housework, the Su family is not rich, and the mother of the family is old, so Ye Zixuan, the daughter of the rich family, took on the burden of the family.
A year later, Su Mucheng was in high school, and the rebels forced the palace, Ye Zixuan just entered the palace to participate in the banquet, Ye Zixuan, who was pregnant, blocked an arrow for the queen, and was seriously injured to miscarriage.
Su Mucheng has made a lot of contributions in pacifying the rebels, and Ye Zixuan saved the queen mother with her body blocking arrows, so far, the emperor has made a meritorious service to the two of them, and named Su Mucheng as the prime minister, and Ye Zixuan as the wife of a first-class order, giving ten thousand taels of gold.
The old lady was heartbroken when she heard the news, since Ye Zixuan married into the Su family, governed the family well, respected the high hall, and did not have the shelf and temper of Miss Qianjin, the old lady was deeply grateful, and she was even more fond of Ye Zixuan as if she were her own daughter.
learned that Ye Zixuan had a miscarriage and it was difficult to get pregnant again, and she was afraid that the Su family would fail her, so she asked Su Mucheng to make an oath that she would never take a concubine in this life.
Now that I think about it, Ye Zixuan has been married into the Su family for eight years.
The old lady has heard some ways recently, so she wants Ye Zixuan and her husband to try it too: "I heard that there is a temple outside the city that is very effective, why don't you and your wife go to worship tomorrow, how about it?" ”
Over the years, I have tried all kinds of medical advice and medicine, and I have tried all kinds of home remedies, and Ye Zixuan feels that it may be difficult for me to get pregnant again: "Mother, it's been so many years, it doesn't work, forget it." ”
Su Mucheng thought that it would be good to take this opportunity to accompany Ye Zixuan out for a walk: "Eh, madam, you can't say that, you should go and relax, it's good to try, in short, I would rather accompany my wife to Qiuzi Temple to try than my wife to give me a concubine." ”
