Chapter Twenty-Eight: Miss Cousin is pregnant
At this time, the banquet had been withdrawn, and the tea had been drunk for two rounds. Someone came to say goodbye, and for a while she was busy sending off guests, and the old lady sat for a long time, and suddenly she got together, and it was dark in front of her, and she almost fell.
Fortunately, everyone hurriedly supported it, and Nangong Yingyue asked people to take their posts and quickly pass them to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor. Biliu came in with the medicinal soup and went to serve the old lady with medicine.
"You don't need this medicine, the left and right doctors will come in a while, and it's not too late to drink it after you see it." Nangong Yingyue stopped Biliu and asked her to take it down and warm it.
In winter, when the windows are closed and the doors are closed, a bowl of medicinal soup is full of medicinal smells. Deng Min only felt disgusted in his heart, frowned and endured it, and pressed his hand on his chest. But the smell of the medicine was in my bones, and I endured it a few times, but finally I couldn't hold it back, retched a few times and turned around and ran out.
Several people looked over, didn't understand what was going on, and looked at each other.
The old lady and Nangong Yingyue have lived for decades, and they have never seen anything, and this kind of thing must be the same result out of ten guesses. Neither of them spoke, but looked at each other, knowing it.
After a while, Lu Yang came to report, and the doctor came.
Chu Wei and several young ladies of the Nangong family avoided the inner room, but Chu Mo had something in her heart, and there was an anxious look on her face, and she went outside the house to find Deng Min.
Just as Peiqin entered the courtyard, she nodded at Deng Min, and stood quietly under the corridor.
There were only two old ladies and a few close-fitting big maids left in the room, "Biliu, you go and call the Min girl, just say that I let you come, don't say much!" The old lady Nangong gave the order, with a solemn face.
The doctor first gave the old lady a look at the illness, saying that she felt cold in winter, and there was some food accumulation, which was hot inside and cold outside, so she tossed for a long time and refused to get better.
The imperial doctor prescribed the prescription, and Lu Yang took it and went to grab the medicine.
At this time, Biliu brought Deng Min back.
As soon as Deng Min came in, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, Nangong Yingyue always came on weekdays, and she was not as serious as today, and even her eyes were a little fierce. She was a little scared and stood aside nervously.
Nangong Yingyue has never liked to put on a show, but today she encountered this matter, and she couldn't let it go if she didn't want to care. After a moment of letting her go, he said, "You come over to show the imperial doctor, it's not easy for him to come here." ”
"Min'er doesn't dare to bother the imperial doctor, thank the princess for her grace!" Deng Min felt sleepy in the past few days, but today's situation did not allow her to go back to be lazy, so she had to support her spirit, thinking that she might be tired.
"I can't help but dare!" Nangong Yingyue replied sharply, and said to the imperial doctor: "The tired imperial doctor carefully diagnosed her pulse, and this palace has a reward!" ”
Deng Min couldn't, and didn't know where he had upset this aunt, so he had to sit obediently on the chair and sit halfway there, let the doctor take the pulse, but for some reason, there was an extreme sense of uneasiness in his heart.
The two old ladies watched quietly, and neither of them spoke.
After a moment, the imperial physician withdrew his hand, bowed his head and bowed to Nangong Yingyue, without speaking.
"Min girl, go out, don't leave Yaoyue Garden, I still have something to pass on to you!" The old lady Nangong changed her good temper in the past, and her tone was fierce.
Then a room full of maids and daughters-in-law were dismissed.
"Doctor, please speak!" Nangong Yingyue stretched out her hand and motioned for the imperial doctor to sit down and speak.
"Ximai, it's been a month and a half, and I'm not in good health, so I have to take care of it." The imperial doctor was accustomed to the difficulties of the palace and the heirs of large families, but the doctor's parents still gave a few words.
Nangong Yingyue let her personal grandmother see the reward, and then gave away Yijian Villa.
After the imperial doctor left, he asked Biliu to send someone to call Nangong Hao over, and the two old ladies discussed this matter in a low voice.
The person who went came back quickly, and he didn't explain it for a long time.
"What the hell is going on?" Nangong Yingyue is a quick temper, she has gradually gotten a few years old over the years, and she doesn't lose her temper anymore, and it seems that everyone is about to forget her original fiery temperament.
The little girl lying on the ground replied: "The second young master is not in the front hall, I heard and heard that it is in the garden!" ”
"Then why don't you pass it on, what are you doing?" Nangong Yingyue said angrily.
The little girl was frightened, and cried: "The second young master and Miss Yan are ...... in the East Garden."
"What did you say?" The old lady of Nangong couldn't suppress the fire anymore, and drank her and said: "How can Yan'er be in the East Garden with Hao'er, you dare to talk about it, be careful that I kill you!" ”
Chu Mo listened to it outside the window, and unconsciously bent the corners of her mouth.
Deng Min was uneasy in his heart, and had a very bad premonition, so he pursed his lips and stood under the porch, without saying a word.
When there was a lot of trouble, Mu Qingyan took Chu Ling's hand and entered Yaoyue Garden, each wearing a crown made of spring flowers on their heads.
Nangong Yin and Nangong Hao, who came in behind them, also had one on each of their wrists.
There are also a few maids in the back, each of whom has a fresh and tender spring flower headband, which is very bright and eye-catching when it is cold in spring.
Chu Mo opened her mouth in shock, but finally held back and didn't scream.
It turned out that as soon as Chu Mo left on his front foot, Mu Qingyan's maids Linglong and Liuli followed Chu Ling to find him.
There are many and mixed people in the front hall, Nangong Yin is introverted, not very socialized with strangers, and only sits and drinks with a few acquaintances. Chu Mo was used to seeing Nangong Hao and Mu Qingyan mismatch on weekdays, so people deliberately passed on ambiguous words, thinking that he would be in a hurry to pass. I didn't know that the little maid sent by her maid was a solid eye, and when I heard that Miss Mu was waiting for someone in the garden, she must be waiting for the eldest young master, so he went back to Nangong Yin.
Nangong Yin was about to go to the East Garden for a while, but he was pulled and laughed again, and he was not allowed to leave. He was worried about Mu Qingyan, and his heart was uneasy, Nangong Hao was stopped by him when he passed by, and asked him to go to the East Garden to see what was going on.
When Deng Min sent someone to pass it on for the second time, he finally got out and went to the East Garden.
When he arrived, Nangong Hao was sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by several maids, and there were many branches of spring flowers that were in full bloom at hand, and he was rarely patient to weave garlands.
Chu Ling and Mu Qingyan were laughing on the small bridge, one in purple and the other in pink, and they became more and more delicate and unmatched in the tender yellow bushes, which was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Spring blooms well, and people who drink in the front hall come to the East Garden from time to time to enjoy the flowers. Mu Qingyan and Chu Ling didn't want to stay here, so they folded some flower branches and took them, saying that they wanted to go back to show the old ladies a fresh look, so they walked back.
Just past the Moon Gate, a little girl ran up and said that the old lady asked the second young master to go back, and they all came back together.
A few people entered the painting hall, and when they saw that Nangong Yingyue and the old lady were not very good-looking, they couldn't help but put away their smiles, and stood aside without speaking.
Nangong Yingyue looked at the expressions of several people, and she had a number in her heart. She didn't have time to pursue the person who caused the incident, so she coaxed Mu Qingyan and Chu Ling and said, "I just cooked lotus seed soup, Yin'er, you go to the flower hall with the cigarette girl and the Ling girl to drink some." ”
The three of them knew that they had something to ask Nangong Hao, so they all came out and stood under the porch.
After a while, I saw Nangong Hao come out with a dejected face, flicking his sleeves and ignoring anyone, and left angrily.
"Yin'er, come in!" Nangong Yingyue called Nangong Yin in through the window.
Nangong Yin has always been polite and calm, but this calmness was only retained until he entered the painting hall. The two old ladies looked solemn, and when he came to his lips, he swallowed the question raw, and stood in the hall with his hands down.
Nangong Yingyue said the original words of the imperial doctor, Nangong Yin was stunned for a moment, unable to say a word, his face was like white paper, and there was no blood at all.
Nangong Yingyue looked at him, and knew that he did it without asking, and several young ladies were still there at this time, so they didn't want to scold him, so they had to drive him out.
Nangong Yingyue advocated giving a bowl of soup and medicine, but the gods and ghosts called it ignorantly, and then sent Deng Min to leave the house, in short, he couldn't stay. She deeply understands Mu Zheng's short temper, and the granddaughter in the palm of her hand has not yet passed the door, and the cousin here is pregnant first, afraid that the marriage will change.
The old lady refused, no matter how she said it, she was also the heir of the Nangong family. Which family of men is not three wives and four concubines, and when they enter the door of his Nangong family, they are from his Nangong family. Nangong's family is surnamed Nangong, what can he do?
Mu Qingyan didn't want to listen outside the window, so he pulled Chu Ling to return to the West Chamber Flower Hall with everyone. Lu Yang brought a bowl of lotus seed soup to each of them, held it warm in her hands, and talked about the spring cold.
Nangong Yin's mind came out, and he stood under the corridor and looked around, looking stunned.
Mu Qingyan put down the lotus seed soup in his hand and walked over to him. Before she could walk in front of him, he lowered his head and went out of the courtyard in a daze, even ignoring Mu Qingyan's call to him.
In the afternoon, there are still people who come to give birthday gifts, most of them don't know the news for a long time, and then hear about it.
The banquet was withdrawn at noon, and it was still placed in the Yaoyue Garden, inviting the ladies and wives of the relatives, most of whom avoided coming because of the noble status of the people invited at the luncheon.
Chu Ling drank some wine, felt stuffy, went to the yard to disperse, just walked to the corner of the plum tree, and listened to the faint sound of talking in the wing.
Chu Ling was naughty for a while, and wanted to be frightened, so he leaned close to the window and took a closer look, "I heard that Miss Biao has a body, the eldest young master looked at Sven, I really didn't expect to be able to do such a thing." ”
"This eldest brother has taken up his younger brother's daughter-in-law, and with the second young master's bastard temperament, he may not be able to make a fuss, just look at it!" The other grandmother is quite a bit of a good show.
"Definitely! Earlier, the grandmothers in Miss Cousin's house said that they had shown their mouths, saying that when Miss Smoke passed the door, they would raise Miss Cousin as his wife, but now it seems to be true! ”
The two of them spoke very softly, and they couldn't hear it very clearly intermittently, but it was enough to put on a story. Chu Ling was frightened a lot, and stumbled all the way back to the inner room, his face was pale and not very good-looking.
"Did you encounter a ghost? Why do you look like this? Mu Qingyan teased her.
Chu Ling sat down, took the tea poured by Mu Qingyan for her, took two big sips, and after gasping for breath and calming down a little, she began to hesitate to tell her what she had just heard.
Mu Qingyan looked at her uneasy, knowing that there must be something, thinking that this Yaoyue Yuan was used to coming here, what could make her bold and disgraced? I think left and right, but I can't think of it.
Mu Qingyan got up and pulled her away from the table, and walked out, she wanted to go back to the excitement and see why she was so intimidated!
Out of the painting hall, "Yan'er, you said that men will take concubines, right?" Chu Ling asked her tentatively.
Mu Qingyan is such a smart person, she didn't answer, and looked at her fixedly.
"It doesn't matter if the concubine has an heir before the wife, it must not be a royal struggle for the throne!" Chu Ling continued, peeking at Mu Qingyan, seeing that she didn't speak, and didn't ask questions, he felt a little hairy in his heart.
"Ling'er, what do you want to say?" Mu Qingyan suddenly asked her sharply.
"Miss Cousin is happy, it seems to be the child of the eldest cousin!" Chu Ling was not frightened, and said everything he heard at once.
Mu Qingyan's face turned pale in an instant, and he was stunned on the spot without blood. She felt strange, why Nangong Yin Banyue didn't look for her, it turned out that she was trapped in the gentle township, no wonder.
She only felt that this year's spring breeze came very early, and it was still cold with frost, which made people feel cold all over the body.
Chu Ling regretted it after speaking, holding Mu Qingyan's waist with both hands, afraid that she would not be able to hold it and fall.
At this time, Chu Han came out. Mu Qingyan came out for a while, and when she didn't come back, she was afraid that it would freeze her, so she came out to look for it, who knew that Mu Qingyan was stunned and didn't say a word.
"Smoke?"
"Auntie, I want to go home!" Mu Qingyan spit out a few words with difficulty, and the person fell softly into her arms.
Chu Han was frightened, he had never seen such a Mu Qingyan, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to the old lady, so he let a few maids help him out of Yaoyue Garden and return to Shuiyue Villa.
After Mu Qingyan left, Chu Ling said that he couldn't sit still, and called the maid to follow.
Chu Han took Mu Qingyan back to Lanyan Pavilion, how to ask Mu Qingyan and didn't say anything, Linglong couldn't help it, and said what she had just heard Chu Ling say and Chu Han truthfully.
When Chu Han heard this, he was stunned.
The door came to report that Chu Ling was coming.
Chu Han put away the panic and arranged for someone to send Chu Ling back, saying that the smoke was uncomfortable and inconvenient to meet guests. Only then did he recruit the little guy to go to Yijian Villa to invite Mu Zheng and Mu Qinghan back to their homes, and this matter needs to be further confirmed and discussed.
After Mu Zheng and Mu Qinghan returned home, Chu Han went to Jinlu Garden, and after half a ring, Mu Zheng personally rode to the palace, Mu Qinghan and Chu Han went to Lanyan Pavilion again.
Mu Qingyan fell asleep, her face facing inward, and she couldn't see her expression.
Mu Qinghan instructed Amber and the others to take care of it carefully, and they were not allowed to leave half a step. Amber knew that the matter was serious, so they all nodded silently in agreement, and they were afraid that she would be noisy, so only two people stayed by Mu Qingyan's bed.
An hour later, Mu Zheng returned.
I couldn't see how angry I was, so I just straightened my face and entered the Lanyan Pavilion.
Chu Han and Mu Qinghan were both waiting in the painting hall, and when they saw him come in, they greeted him together. Mu Zheng nodded, turned around and sat in the chair, took the tea handed over by Chu Han, took a sip and asked, "Where's the smoke?" ”
"The smoke is asleep, and Amber is guarding!" Chu Han replied softly.
"I'll take a look!" Mu Zheng got up and strode upstairs. The anger in his heart can't be resolved no matter what, so let's take a look at the baby girl first and see what she means.
