Chapter 9: Born with Thunder and Lightning

Guan Sheng was secretly happy, it was really just a dream, and she was glad that her life now was not as terrible as in her dream. Everyone is alive and well, and the big sister is still the big sister before, and she hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, not the poisonous woman with the femme fatale in the dream.

On a whim, she said a little mischievously: "Mother Ling, tell me about my birth!" ”

"Huh? Second girl, how many times have you talked about this, and the slave woman can recite it backwards, haven't you heard the cocoon in your ears? ”

"The memory of my mother can only be learned from you, if my mother is still alive, maybe Mother Ling will not have to follow me to live in this secluded cold house, nor will she have to follow me to be angry with my aunts, let alone be squeezed and troubled by the maids and mothers in their house." Guan Sheng said with a little guilt, lowered his eyes, his eyes were also a little moist, and the meaning of his words seemed to be that because of her, Ling's mother was guilty.

The courtyard where her mother lived before her death, Sima Qu felt unlucky, and it was not suitable for Sima Guansheng, a newborn baby, to live, plus Zhong Jiayun was a hindrance, and her father let her and Ling's mother live in this remote courtyard.

In addition to Ling's mother, a first-class servant, there was also a first-class maid, two inferior rough maids and an inferior male servant. On weekdays, except for Sima Daiyuan, who came over every three or five times, except for her grandmother who sent someone to spread the word, everyone else rarely set foot in her dark and wet courtyard.

Although her father is only the Yin of Wupin Mansion, she is the only concubine in the mansion, so it stands to reason that she should not be treated like this now. But that's fine, she just ended up quiet, so she didn't bother to compete with them.

Seeing that Guan Sheng was so sentimental, Ling's mother didn't say anything more, so she had to repeat the memory she knew by heart.

At that time, it was a major flood, and the low-lying places outside the city were affected, and thousands of people were displaced for a time.

The eldest lady was pregnant with the girl at the time, half a month and half a month, she was worried about the comfort of the head of the family, so she forgot to sleep and eat, and sat at the door all night and waited, hoping for the safe return of the head of the house.

That night it was pouring rain again, the eldest lady suddenly wanted to give birth, the slave woman braved the heavy rain to go out to find the midwife, when she went out, she met the maid Mei'er in the house of Zhong Niangzi, she said that the eldest lady was not short of people, let the slave woman wait next to take care of her, she went to help the slave woman find the midwife.

The slave woman pondered for a while, and felt that she was right, the eldest lady was breaking through the ghost gate, how could she not even have a real person of her own beside her. The eldest lady was kind-hearted, and when she saw that the maids who came over to marry had already passed the age of the marriage, she let them go out to start a family, and there was no shortage of people at hand anyway, so she didn't recruit them back and let them go free. So the slave woman immediately agreed to Mei'er, just in case, the slave woman also specially told Mei'er to find Cui's mother in the Cui family pharmacy in the west of the city.

The eldest lady screamed and struggled for a long time, and poured bowl after bowl of mountain ginseng soup into her stomach, but she couldn't lift her energy, and finally collapsed directly on the couch, unable to exert her strength anymore. The slave woman kept by the side, and she was anxious.

Mei'er found Cui's mother, but the eldest lady did not escape in the end, and the child collapsed before it was born, and everyone thought it was a corpse with two lives.

Until now, the slave woman has never forgotten the helpless and unwilling eyes of the eldest lady.

When the old lady heard the news, she fainted in anger.

Only that Zhong Xiaoniang was in danger, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a good cypress wood painted coffin, and put the eldest lady into the coffin that night, hung up the plain silk silk in the house, and commanded up and down in the house under the heavy rain, which really looked like a lady in charge.

The old lady woke up, came to the temple and cried for a long time, and ordered someone to send a message to the head of the house. In the middle of the night, she couldn't stay up and lay down in the next room to rest, leaving the slave woman and a few maids and slaves to guard the coffin.

In the middle of the night, with a lightning bolt that pierced the night sky, a loud thunder slashed, splitting a century-old banyan tree in the courtyard in half. Everyone was frightened, and the old lady was also frightened, and hurried from the side room to the mourning room.

Then there was another deafening thunder, which slashed from the roof, and the thunder passed through the glazed tiles, splitting the coffin of the eldest lady in half. I don't know if it was a coincidence or the lightning was too dazzling, and the old lady's eyes were blinded immediately.

While everyone was busy caring for the old lady, the baby's cry came from the big lady. Everyone thought it was haunted, trembling with fright, and screaming in panic.

The slave woman followed behind the big lady when she was young, even if the big lady was really out of her body, the slave woman was fearless. The slave woman stepped forward and lifted the shroud on the eldest lady's body, and a tender little lump of flesh came into view, crying with her mouth open, with a blood-red bead in her mouth, and a cinnabar-colored phoenix tail birthmark in the center of her eyebrows, that is you, girl.

The slave woman was so excited that tears fell out, and she picked up the girl with trembling hands, and shouted excitedly: Old lady, the eldest lady gave birth in the coffin, and she is a healthy girl.

The old lady stumbled to the coffin with the support of the subordinates, touched the girl with both hands excitedly, and kept muttering: The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes! O Sun! It's just a pity that grandmother can't see what you look like.

The slave woman explained to the old woman with tears in her eyes: Old lady, the girl was born with blood beads in her mouth, a cinnabar-colored phoenix tail birthmark in the center of her eyebrows, delicate and handsome facial features, she is a beautiful billet, and she will be rich and noble when she grows up, and she will shine on the lintel.

The eldest lady is old, up and down this Sima Mansion, only the old lady can be the girl's backer, and the slave woman picked up the good ones and said, hoping that the old lady can cherish the girl more.

It's a pity that Zhong Xiaoniang, who came in a hurry, said that the girl was an ominous person, killed her biological mother, blinded the old lady's eyes, used thunder and lightning to split the banyan tree in the courtyard, and even let go of the biological mother's resting place.

As soon as she said this, the whole house cast strange eyes on the girl, you just have just landed, but you have to bear such slander, the slave woman was really angry at that time. Fortunately, the old lady Mingjian has always regarded you as a jewel and treated you well as always, otherwise after so many years, the girl's life may be even more dire.

After Ling's mother finished speaking, there was a touch of sadness on her face.

"Mother Ling, don't be sad, isn't Guan Sheng very good now? I can run and jump, I can eat and sleep, and I can live a free life! Guan Sheng saw Ling's mother's sad face, and immediately smiled and comforted.

Mother Ling glanced at the too simple house, "It's our girl who has a good temperament, if you are someone else, who wants to bend down in this small courtyard, you are the daughter of Sima Mansion, and you have to live in Liuying Pavilion." In the past, it was okay to be young, but now that the girl is slim, she should move out of here, otherwise after the girl gets married, this will have to become a talking point for the son-in-law's family. Somehow, the old lady has been silent on this matter. ”
