Chapter Eighty-Four: It's a Hard Time
The rain in the middle of the night made the early autumn morning, which was already cool, even cooler.
Xia Yanqing walked to Mrs. Liu's Xuanbei Hall, and calculated that the day after tomorrow would be the day of Xu Qinghui's follow-up.
In fact, judging from Xu Qinghui's condition these days, even if there is no follow-up by the doctor, pregnancy is a sure thing.
And Xia Yanqing has already taken care of the things at hand, and she can leave the Wang family when it is confirmed that Xu Qinghui is pregnant. The matter of separation can be handled later.
Mama Tang received a message from home yesterday, saying that there was something at home and asking her to go back.
Because she was going back for three days, today's Mama Tang packed up neatly, put a small burden on her sleeves, followed Xia Yanqing's side, and went to Xuanbei Hall together, saying hello to Mrs. Liu and Yuan's before leaving.
Walking on the clean bluestone path, breathing in the cool and humid air, thinking that in a few days, he would be able to leave the shackles-like residence of the Wang family, although he was still accompanied by Mama Tang, who was not very pleasing to the eye, Xia Yanqing still felt comfortable.
On the path outside the gate of Xuanbei Hall, Xu Qinghui appeared in Xia Yanqing's field of vision on time as if he had calculated, as he had done a few days ago, with two maids on time, with a smile.
There were still two or three steps away from Xia Yanqing and his party, and Xu Qinghui curtsied his knees: "Second grandma is early." It rained overnight, but the weather was clear and pleasant today. I saw my wife for a while, and it was good for the concubine to accompany the second grandmother to walk around the house, and it was good to feel the coolness and comfort. ”
As he spoke, the person had already walked to Xia Yanqing's side.
Xia Yanqing was helpless, so she had to smile and say, "I don't dare to work Aunt Xu." This year's summer is really hot, and it is best to sit under the porch and rest with this coolness. ”
She only has to fight in the palace and the house, pregnant women can't be provoked, and pregnant women in the ancient back house can't be provoked.
These days, she can meet Xu Qinghui every day, and Xia Yanqing always reminds herself that Xu Qinghui is a pregnant woman who can't be messed with or suffered, which makes her very distressed.
It's a hard time.
If it weren't for the fact that the ancient rules of respect and inferiority were too heavy, Xia Yanqing would rather give Xu Qinghui a wide road every time and let her go first, so that she could stay away from her and have less pressure.
But Xu Qinghui is a model of a good woman in ancient times, and she still respectfully owes herself, letting Xia Yanqing go first.
Xia Yanqing walked to the gate of Xuanbei Hall first, Xu Qinghui followed with the girl, and Mama Tang followed.
The bluestone trail after the rain is still a little damp, but not slippery.
Xu Qinghui walked away, and smiled at Xia Yanqing in front of him: "In such a good weather, it's better to come out for a walk." If the second grandmother is familiar with the yard and finds it boring, why don't you ask the lady and the eldest grandmother for instructions, and let's go out for a walk. The concubine also followed the second grandmother to get a light. ”
Xia Yanqing: "......" She is not crazy again, how could she go out with the pregnant Xu Qinghui? It's not that I'm bored, and I have nothing to do with myself.
Not to mention conspiracy theories, just the delicate backhouse woman can't stand the bumps, she doesn't have the guts. In case the pregnant woman has a good deal outside, where can she make it clear?
Xia Yanqing is now sure that Xu Qinghui must know that she will reconcile with Wang Xi in the near future. For some reason, Xu Qinghui changed her attitude of respecting and staying away from her in the past, and was so enthusiastic with her.
The question is, you, a person who has always flaunted her background as a scholar and have a lot of style, can't you see that she, a rough person, is unwilling to make friends with talented women? Is it possible to be so caught up and set up?
What followed Xia Yanqing today is Xinrong, who has a gentle personality and has always been cautious in doing things.
Since the news that Xu Qinghui was pregnant in the house, the people around Xia Yanqing have been advised, and they are far away from Aunt Xu and the people of Chunxiyuan during this time.
Xinrong and the others had no intersection with the people of Chunxi Garden, not to mention that they had been advised by Xia Yanqing, it should have been easy to do.
However, Xu Qinghui, who was pregnant, changed her previous style, but was very close to Xia Yanqing and the people of Qiuyue Courtyard, and as long as she had the opportunity, she would go to Xia Yanqing.
Especially when I greet Mrs. Liu every morning, I can't avoid it.
Although Xinrong was behind Xia Yanqing, listening to Xu Qinghui's soft words in his ears, he was careful in his heart and tried to stay away from her as much as possible. Seeing that Xia Yanqing was about to enter the courtyard gate, she found that Xu Qinghui took two steps and followed closely.
Xinrong glanced back, and found that it was really Xu Qinghui who followed, and hurriedly leaned towards Xia Yanqing's side, and even reminded in a low voice very unruly: "Second grandma, go faster." ”
Her whispers were muffled by a series of screams behind her. In the rear where she didn't have time to look over, Xu Qinghui's body tilted for no reason and fell to the side.
When Xinrong turned around, he happened to see the scene of Xu Qinghui falling.
She instantly remembered Xia Yanqing's advice, and then had the vigilance of having children in the back of a big family, not only did she not have the urge to help, but took a step forward.
Xia Yanqing has also been vigilant against Xu Qinghui from time to time in the past few days, and when he heard the exclamation from behind, he subconsciously flashed to the side, wanting to let go of the bluestone path, but collided with the heart of the anxious evasion.
Mama Tang walked at the end of the group, it is said that she has the best vision and should be able to see what happened in front of her, but she didn't see how Xu Qinghui fell.
At the moment before the scream sounded, Bilan, who was walking in front of her, suddenly took a step slower, and this step alone blocked Mama Tang's sight.
Then, the moment the scream sounded, Bilan rushed forward, Mama Tang only saw Xu Qinghui crooked to the side, and Xu Qinghui's eldest girl, Qingdai, rushed forward to help.
However, Xu Qinghui's fall was too strong, and Qingdai did not hold her master, but fell on the grass outside the bluestone path together.
Fortunately, Qingdai protected her master in front of her, and when she fell to the ground, she was under Xu Qinghui.
The mother-in-law who watched the door in Xuanbei Hall and the girls walking around heard the movement and went out to see it.
It was Xu Qinghui who fell to the ground clearly, and several people screamed again, and the surprise questions of "Aunt Xu" and "What's wrong with you" continued.
Jin Hua, the eldest girl of Mrs. Liu in the courtyard, heard the voice of "Aunt Xu" and was busy following out. Although Xu Qinghui is Wang Xi's concubine, the food and clothing in the mansion are all arranged according to the serious master.
Others didn't know the truth, they served Mrs. Liu closely, but they knew that once Xu Qinghui was diagnosed with pregnancy, Xia Yanqing, Wang Xi's wife, would leave the house and make way for this Aunt Xu.
Now Xu Qinghui's second master's first child, that is a real concubine, and it is really not to be ignored.
Jin Hua went out to watch, and sure enough, he saw Xu Qinghui and Qingdai falling to the ground. Xu Qinghui hugged her stomach in a hurry, Qingdai hadn't gotten up yet, she had already asked her how she was doing, and her tone was full of worry.
