Chapter 45: Infertility

There are thousands of goods in the world, and each one has its own characteristics. Among them is the name of a product, which is called Skinny Horse. These skinny horses are human beings, but they are bought and sold by merchants who are also human beings. Pathetic, pathetic!

From a business point of view, not being able to have children is a trait that can increase the value of a thin horse. It's as if eunuchs must be punished by the palace, and all good thin horses are infertile. In this way, firstly, it can not arouse the fear of the housewife, and secondly, many women who have given birth will be out of shape, and if it is more serious, the interest in the room will also be reduced, which is a taboo for thin horses.

This question became tricky, Yan Qingge frowned slightly, and said, "You guys go down first." ”

Is it too late to find a new aunt for Yan Songnian now? Moreover, there has never been a woman in this world who stuffed someone into her father's room.

Seeing off Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu, Yan Qingge had something on her mind, she didn't eat much for dinner, and she couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning. Thinking about whether Aunt Hai is pregnant or not.

After sorting out all the clues in these days, Yan Qingge decided that Aunt Hai is not pregnant yet.

Putting aside the past few days on the Yan family's Zhuangzi, the last time Aunt Hai served Yan Songnian was before she was beaten. If she had been pregnant at that time, she would have used this as an excuse to exonerate herself from criminal responsibility.

And everyone came back from Zhuangzi, even if Aunt Hai happened to be pregnant in those days, she couldn't see it now. Presumably, she asked Hu Pozi to help her beg for a snake to molt, because she wanted to be fully prepared to conceive again.

There was not much time left for Yan Qingge to plan.

Yan Qingge slept late, didn't get up late, and she now has to say hello to Yan Songnian every day. This is not a chore for her, but sometimes Yan Songnian is reluctant to get up, so he asks someone to send her a bowl of tea to send her away.

Today is no exception, Yan Songnian is still sleeping, such a lazy person, Yan Qingge is also rare, I don't want to wait any longer, just go back to Qingxingyuan.

At this time, Mama Zhu in the courtyard walked in with a disgruntled face, walked up to Yan Qingge, and saluted her: "Miss, the old slave gave the money to the Hu Pozi, she accepted the money and kicked me out, saying that how could she not give what she had promised, and she would not give up if she didn't get the snake, she asked the eldest lady to look carefully, and come to the eldest lady in a few days. This woman is also relieving. ”

Early in the morning, Yan Qingge instructed Mama Zhu to go to the outer city to give Hu Pozi ten taels of silver, saying that the snake had not been found, and this money told her to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Mama Zhu is older than Mrs. Hu, and she wanted to give her money, even if she didn't have a reward, with this old face, she could eat two fruits for nothing, who knew that Mrs. Hu was not satisfied with the money, and scolded her for a while.

There are a lot of tocolytic pills bought for ten taels of silver, and Hu Pozi's ignorance of lifting proves that there is a ghost in this matter.

She thought about it carefully, called Ruyi to find a brown paper bag, folded the snake and put it in, sealed it with wax, filled it with several layers, and then tied a stone on it, and sank the bag into the small lake with her own hands.

Ruyi clapped his hands and said: "We just threw away our things, and we didn't take advantage of that old woman." ”

"Throw something, I'll find someone to catch it in a few days. That's a rare good thing, and it can have a safe baby. Maybe it can save your life if you keep it later. Yan Qingge watched the lake engulf the bag, and under the green and faint blue waves, he couldn't see anything, and then returned to the house satisfied.

The next morning, when Yan Qingge went to greet Yan Songnian, he arrived a little late, but he didn't expect to meet Aunt Hai.

Aunt Hai described her as a little haggard, and there was a patch of cyan caused by lack of sleep under her eyes, which couldn't be covered by fat powder.

Yan Qingge asked Yan Songnian to say goodbye, seeing that Aunt Hai had no intention of leaving, she didn't want to be in the same room with Aunt Hai, so she simply said goodbye and left early.

When he returned to Qingxingyuan, Xunshuang came over with a smile, sent a big box, and said, "Miss, this is something sent by the little prince of Yanwang's mansion." I specially told the lady to open it by hand. ”

The box was made of wood, cold to the touch, as if it was filled with ice, and there was an additional seal on the box to prevent others from opening it without permission. Yan Qingge called for the snow to go down, opened the seal with his own hands, opened the lid, and was startled.

I saw that inside this box, there was a small snake with a length and thickness similar to chopsticks, and its appearance was exactly the same as the two she saw in the Zhuangzi, but it was much smaller. Next to the snake, there were more than a dozen white eggs, like a nest of small pearls.

The box where the snake was placed was full of ice, and the little snake didn't know if it was dead in the first place, or because the temperature in the box was too low, it fell into a state of hibernation and did not move.

Yan Qingge almost immediately understood Yan Xiuyu's intentions.

It is true that a snake that is not caught is more terrible than a snake that is caught, but if there is no evidence of a poisonous snake infestation, the deterrent effect will gradually decrease to a minimum, or even become none.

Yan Qingge also thought about going to find some snake molts recently, and threw them into Aunt Hai's yard to scare people, but she didn't expect Yan Xiuyu to help her find better props.

With a smile on his face, Yan Qingge went to the kitchen and ordered: "Last time I went back to Lingfu to deliver food, I ate well, and asked his house for recipes, have you learned those dishes?" ”

The two cooks replied respectfully, "I learned." ”

"Good. At noon today, you will make a koi fish and a white-eared pigeon egg, and I will send them to my father. Yan Qingge said.

The two dishes were ready, and it was almost time for lunch, Yan Qingge personally carried the food box and walked towards Han Youju alone.

From Yan Qingge here to go to Hanyouju, you have to pass by Zhuyu Courtyard.

In the hot summer, when the sun is the sunliest, the Zhuyuyuan is quiet, and everyone hides in the house to enjoy the shade.

Yan Qingge looked at the surroundings and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, which was wrapped in some half-melted and unmelted broken ice, and there was a stiff little snake in the broken ice. She picked up the snake's tail and swung it upward, and the little snake flew into the Jewel Courtyard.

Yan Qingge clapped his hands, squinted and smiled and left slightly.

When she arrived at Hanyouju, not only Aunt Hai hadn't left yet, but Yan Shuyu, who was supposed to study with Mr. Chu in Mingxinzhai, also came. Seeing that Yan Qingge came to deliver food, Yan Songnian was very happy and said, "Qingge, you really have a heart." It just so happens that the whole family is here today, so it's better to eat together. ”

Yan Qingge smiled: "Obey my father's orders. ”

After a while, the dishes were on the table, Yan Qingge saw Aunt Hai sitting next to Yan Songnian, Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu stood and served them cloth, and said, "Father, why don't Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu sit down?" ”

Yan Songnian was used to Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu serving like this, so he realized that something was wrong, and said, "You two don't have to be restrained, sit down." ”

Aunt Hai looked at Yan Qingge hatefully, but she didn't dare to stop it, otherwise Yan Qingge would definitely ask her to stand and wait. Yan Shuyu was not convinced, so she wanted to say something, but Aunt Hai grabbed her leg under the table, and she screamed in pain.

Yan Songnian looked over and said strangely: "Shuyu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Aunt Hai didn't wait for Yan Shuyu to speak, so she said softly: "I think it's because I'm tall, and my legs are cramping." I'll just help her rub it. ”

Receiving Aunt Hai's warning eyes, Yan Shuyu closed her mouth unwillingly.

At this meal, the five women accompanied Yan Songnian and a man to eat, the undercurrent was surging, the atmosphere was very weird and gloomy, only Yan Songnian ate very happily, and praised the dishes sent by Yan Qingge for their good taste.

"Thank you father for the compliment, this is the recipe that my daughter asked Ling Zhu Guofu for. My father liked it, so I asked my subordinates to make more and send it. Yan Qingge said with a smile.

Yan Songnian smiled: "I heard from the porter that you often have contacts with the young lady of Lingzhu Mansion, as well as the young lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. One day, you take Shuyu to visit Lingzhu Mansion, so that the misunderstanding between Shuyu and Miss Lingfu can be resolved. ”

Listening to Yan Songniantian's shameless words, Yan Qingge only felt ridiculous in his heart, and responded lightly: "My daughter does her best." ”

Only halfway through the meal, Mrs. Wang crawled in and exclaimed, "Aunt Hai, it's not good, we have caught a snake in the yard." ”

Aunt Hai's chopsticks snapped and fell, her eyes widened in shock, and she said, "What snake?" ”

Mrs. Wang gestured: "The thickness of such chopsticks is slender and long." ”

Aunt Hai put down her heart, the two snakes on the Zhuangzi are half a zhang long, and the thickness of the bowl mouth is too different, and it must not be one. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang's next words made her unable to laugh anymore.

"Colorful, with a bright red sarcoma on the head, although small, it looks like a poisonous snake."

Colorful and with bright red sarcoma on her head, isn't that what she wants to find is a miniature version of those two poisonous snakes. A terrible thought came to her mind: the two snakes not only got in, but also lived in their yard and quietly gave birth to baby snakes.

Aunt Hai's face turned pale, and she said goodbye to Yan Songnian, and said, "Master, the concubine has to go back and have a look." Go first. ”

Yan Shuyu followed behind Aunt Hai and walked away.

Yan Songnian has always been careless, although he was a little worried about the poisonous snakes in the house at first, but after being coaxed by Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu, he really thought that he was a hero blessed by the gods and invincible to all poisons, and he put this matter behind.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Yan Qingge didn't stay much after eating, and happily went back to Qingxingyuan.

When I passed in front of the gate of Zhuyuyuan, there was a lot of noise inside, those who moved furniture moved furniture, those who carried things carried things, and some people lit torches in the daytime and went in and out of the house. What a farce.

On the second day, Yan Qingge heard the news, and Aunt Hai cried and shouted to beg Yan Songnian to agree and let her move to Hanyouju for a while. But Aunt Ying knelt on the ground and cried at that time, saying that it was a snake psychic, and she would follow her to the end if she recognized a person. Aunt Hai came over, what if the snake also came with her and disturbed the master.

Yan Songnian was greedy for life and afraid of death, so the matter of moving was naturally over.

This farce is almost well known in the Yan family, no matter which maid and wife, they all talk about it in private. There is also a legend that Aunt Hai killed the cubs of the pair of spirit snakes, just for fear of revenge.

Yan Qingge listened to Ruyi's voice and learn from her, laughing only shouting that her intestines hurt, and even the embroidered tent in her hand was crumpled into a ball.
