Chapter 035: Hunting

Remember [39 .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Wei Ning felt that there must be something wrong with this matter, and she didn't know what Aunt Xi was doing.

"Shu Jin. I asked you to pay attention to Aunt Xi some time ago, but what is the progress? Wei Ning returned to the room with Shu Jin and Zihui, and Wei Ning asked.

Shu Jin said: "I asked a few maids below to stare at Aunt Xi, Lan Lan said, Aunt Xi likes to eat sour recently." Otherwise, it's not much of a concern. ”

Wei Ning frowned, and then asked, "Does Aunt Xi usually like to eat sour?" ”

Shu Jin shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Seeing that nothing else was found, Wei Ning skipped the matter and told Shu Jin to let the people below pay more attention to Aunt Xi's actions.

Wei Guogong's Mansion, in Aunt Xi's room.

Aunt Xi was sitting at the table eating sour plums, and when she saw Mother Li coming back with Dong Ge'er in her arms, she raised her eyes and said, "Gone?" ”

Mother Li nodded, and handed Dong Ge'er to the little maid to take to sleep.

"Auntie, do you really want to do this? If you are found out by the master, do you know what the consequences will be? Mother Li saw that the little maid hugged Dong Ge'er down, and there was no one else in the room, so she began to persuade Aunt Xi.

"So what do you think I can do?" Aunt Xi touched her stomach, "After all, it's not the meat that fell off the body, and it can't be raised." After this one in my stomach comes out, can I continue to keep Dong Ge'er? Or do you think it would be better to hand him over to the Xu family to raise? ”

"But I don't know if I can keep this in my stomach." Mother Li was anxious and said, "If it's a sister, won't we cut ourselves off?" ”

"Mother Li." Aunt Xi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Whether it's my brother or my sister, my care for Brother Dong is only temporary." In a few years, the master will still hand over Dongge'er to the Xu family. ”

Aunt Xi took a sip of ginseng tea from the teacup, watching the tea leaves rise and fall in the bowl, her eyelashes drooped, and her eyes gradually became cold.

The golden autumn is cool, and before you know it, it's autumn.

Wei Ning woke up in the morning and felt a little cold.

"Shu Jin, get me a piece of clothing." Wei Ning sat up on the bed and couldn't help but sneeze.

Shu Jin hurriedly took a thin jacket with rose-colored embroidered broken branches and put it on Wei Ning. "I'm going to go hunting today. Don't get sick, young lady. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Shu Jin felt that Wei Ning's body was hot, and when he touched Wei Ning's forehead, he really had a fever.

"Oh, miss, I'm really sick, how can this be good?"

Shu Jin was anxious. It's about to leave in a while, Wei Ning is sick at this time, how can she explain it to her wife?

"It's just a little bit hot, it's okay. Take a piece of ginger and wrap it in gauze and apply it to the navel to dissipate heat. "As early as the first half of the month, the emperor had already issued an order to gather his ministers to hold a hunt on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hunting was one of the systems of ritual music, and it was also a very popular pastime for every emperor. It is usually held in the golden autumn of each year. As a powerful person in the imperial court, the Duke of Wei was naturally invited.

said that he was invited, but in fact, he couldn't help but go. Wei Ning is well versed in royal routines, the emperor is bored and wants to gather a group of people to play with him, do you dare not try it?

"I'm fine." Wei Ning coughed as she got dressed. "Shu Jin, I still have some medicine in my room to get rid of wind and cold, remember to wrap it up and bring it."

Shu Jin answered, and Zihui began to busy packing up things.

The hunting place is still in Jiuhua Mountain. From now on, there is a seven-hour journey on the road to Jiuhua Mountain. Wei Ning had a headache when he thought of having to sit in the carriage for so long.

After breakfast, Xianglan came over to call Wei Ning. Wei Ning was dizzy, and only hoped that he would be able to sleep in the carriage later.

When he came to the gate of the mansion, Wei Ning saw that Aunt Xi also came out. She wore a light yellow padded jacket today, and Mother Li in the back hugged Dong Ge'er. Dong Ge'er didn't seem to wake up, leaning on Li's mother's shoulder, half-squinting and dripping with saliva.

Aunt Xi greeted Wei Ning. Wei Ning felt that Aunt Xi seemed to have gained a lot of weight recently, and facing Wei Ning, Aunt Xi smiled, folded her hands on her stomach, and stood quietly aside.

Xu Shi also came out, holding Wei Ning's hand for a while: "I heard Xianglan say that you are sick?" Don't say a word, or don't go hunting, I'll tell your father. ”

Wei Ning frowned and looked at Shu Jin, who stuck out his tongue. This girl told her to stop talking, but she told Xianglan.

"Mother, I'm fine, but I'm a little cold." Wei Ning took Xu's hand and got into the carriage, and the Wei family's status among the magnates in Jingzhou was not high. Wei Ning didn't want the Wei family to be criticized because she took leave.

The carriage spun around. Different from the last time I entered the palace to celebrate my birthday, this time I went to Jiuhua Mountain, not only the distance was long, but I also had to set up a tent on the mountain for seven or eight days. Wei Ning had never participated in this kind of hunting activity in her previous life, and women like them basically walked around the mountains or went to the nearby palace to soak in the hot springs.

Wei Ning remembered that there were several palaces on Jiuhua Mountain, and Wei Ning had been there. It would be great if the emperor was merciful enough to allow these ladies to live in the palace without having to live outside with their men.

Thinking like this, Wei Ning gradually fell asleep on the carriage.

When I woke up, it was already evening. Jiuhua Mountain is on the edge of Jingzhou, and to the north is Huazhou. Jiuhua Mountain is undulating, there are many rare birds and beasts in the mountain, and it is the favorite place for hunters to come.

The hunting procession was so great that the emperor stopped at the foot of the mountain. Ordered the tent to be set up. Wei Ning got out of the carriage, and their Wei family was still at the back, looking ahead, the ground was densely packed with people.

"Miss, can you still see the emperor in this hunting activity?" Shu Jin was a little excited.

Wei Ning said with a smile: "The emperor usually stays with the ministers. How could we, the ladies, see it so easily? ”

Wei Ning was telling the truth, women basically did not participate in the hunting activities of the Great Liang Dynasty, and men generally gathered in one place to play and compete. Not to mention a maid like Shu Jin, even a young lady like Wei Ning is basically impossible to see.

However, Wei Ning didn't want to see it, what happened in the palace last time still made her feel palpitations.

When she was talking to Shu Jin, Wei Ning saw Xiaohong, the maid next to Aunt Xi, coming over and saying that she was looking for her.

"What's the matter?" Wei Ning was very strange.

Xiaohong seemed to have run over, and her face was still sweaty. She saw Wei Ning and said, "My aunt kept vomiting on the road, which frightened Grandpa Guo." Grandpa Guo asked me to come to Miss to find Miss and show her aunt. ”

Wei Ning has seen many people in the house in the past few years, and many people have praised her medical skills. It's not good to ask for a doctor when you come here, whoever is sick in the house naturally thinks of Wei Ning.

Shu Jin snorted and said, "If you're sick, go to the doctor." Didn't she always pry up the master and not let us study medicine? Now that you're sick, are you embarrassed to come to our lady? ”

Xiaohong's face was full of embarrassment, and she said hesitantly, "Yes...... It was the master who called me here, and my aunt was very uncomfortable, and she was still dizzy, and she didn't know that I was looking for the second miss. ”

"Shu Jin." Wei Ning motioned for Shu Jin not to speak again. In fact, it doesn't hurt to show Aunt Xi, she has always wanted to find out what Aunt Xi is tired of, and now she has just given a chance to let her get close to Aunt Xi, wouldn't it be better?

"Ning'er." Xu Shi heard them talking from the side. Since it was Grandpa Guo who called Wei Ning, Wei Ning couldn't help but go over. But Xu was worried that Wei Ning still had a fever on his body.

"If you're not feeling well, don't go there." The Xu family didn't like Aunt Xi, and they didn't want their daughter to get close to Aunt Xi.

"Don't be optimistic about her at that time, she will blame us for an accident." Xu Shi grabbed Wei Ning.

"Mother." Wei Ning patted Xu's hand, "I saw her face bad on the way to rest on the road, I'll take a look, it's okay." ”

Wei Ning said so, and the Xu family couldn't pull her hard to prevent her from leaving. At this time, the sun was already setting, and the palace attendants were busy setting up tents in the open space at the foot of the mountain, and then distributing them to the tents where each family lived according to their rank.

"Madam, do you know that Grandpa Guo carried Aunt Xi into the tent." After Wei Ning left, Xianglan said indignantly.

The tent of the Duke of Wei had been divided, just west of the foot of the mountain. The tent where Wei Guogong rested had already been set up, but the tents of other family members in the house were still being set up.

It stands to reason that Xu is a lady, and Aunt Xi is a concubine, so it can't be said that Mrs. hasn't entered the account to rest, and she has taken the lead in resting in a concubine's room.

Xu sighed, that can't be helped, who made her sick, who let her husband cherish her?

"That woman is really shameless." Xianglan has always been unhappy with Xu's, "Madam, don't talk too well." A small concubine is always bullied on your head. is older than Mrs., and not as beautiful as Mrs., I really don't know what the master likes about her! ”

"She has served the master for so many years, and she always has a little feeling." Xu smiled bitterly, he shouldn't have let her marry in the first place, but he didn't expect it to become such a big scourge in the future.

This Xiyun, when he used to serve himself in the mansion, he seemed to be honest and responsible. Now that I think about it, I really saw the wrong person at the beginning.

Wei Ning came to Wei Guogong's tent, and the sky was already dark at this time, and two oil lamps were hung in front of the tent. Wei Ning opened the tent door and saw Aunt Xi leaning on the couch and Wei Guogong sitting aside.

Aunt Xi saw Wei Ning coming, her face was a little frightened, and her hand involuntarily grabbed the quilt.

Wei Ning saw that her face was pale and her hair was messy. It doesn't really look good. But Aunt Xi reluctantly smiled and said, "Master, I really don't need to." I feel so much better. ”

"Ning'er is here, let her show you." Wei Guogong beckoned Wei Ning to come over. Wei Ning stepped forward, but Aunt Xi dodged, and kept saying, "No need, no need." The concubine is uncomfortable to sit in the carriage for too long, so there is really no need to trouble the second lady. ”

Wei Guogong grabbed Aunt Xi's wrist and told her not to move anymore. "You just threw up so badly, it scares me. Be obedient, be obedient, and let Ning'er show you. ”

Wei Guogong insisted again and again, but Aunt Xi had no choice but to let Wei Ning diagnose her pulse.

Wei Ning took Aunt Xi's wrist and changed her face.

This vein...... It's clear that you're pregnant!
