Hearing someone call herself, Banniang's eyes became a little focused.

No one is invincible, and deep in everyone's heart, there are some things they are afraid of, and fear is an emotion that everyone will have.

It is because there are things that you cherish, and there are things that you need to protect, that everyone will be afraid of losing. Banniang took a breath, smiled at Qiu Wei, and instructed: "You ask people to boil hot water, and everything that needs to be used in the house must be boiled with hot water." ”

When Zhu gave birth to the eleventh sister Yun Chu, all the things needed were prepared in advance by Banniang and Qi Niang, and boiled in water to eliminate the poison, but this time because there was still more than a month before the due date, the incident happened suddenly, and she was really unprepared, and this time it was obviously much more dangerous than when she was born at the beginning of Yun, and she had to minimize the existence of all risk factors.

Qiu Wei answered yes and went to press the row.

From time to time, Shiro and a few people also rushed over because they heard the news, and they saw Banniang standing in the hall with an anxious and depressed face. Shiro's heart suddenly burst into the house, and he walked into the house and said to Banniang: "Mother doesn't matter, right?" How could you accidentally fall? ”

The panic that Banniang was forced to suppress resurfaced the moment she saw the fourth brother. couldn't help but redden, and choked up: "My mother is still in the house, and I don't know how I fell." Fourth brother, my mother ......"

Shiro hurriedly stepped forward and took her hand, only to find that Banniang's hand was surprisingly cold, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, mother will definitely be fine." ”

Because of the temperature on Shiro's hand, Banniang's heart gradually warmed up, and she reluctantly smiled: "Fourth brother is right, my mother will be fine." ”

Zifu said in the back: "What is the situation? I really can't do it, so I'll ask a doctor to come back. ”

"There was a lot of blood, but Wen Po said that the situation was not too bad, and the doctor was also in it." Banniang responded, thought about it, and for the sake of safety, she still agreed with Zifu's words, "Yes, go and ask a doctor to come back,"

Zijian hurriedly said, "I'll please." Be back soon. ”

invited a doctor to sit at home, even if you can't use it, you can be prepared, Shiro nodded and said, "It's okay, Zijian, you go and come back quickly." ”

The rain outside has no intention of stopping. It was already dark, and the people took the lights.

After a while, the pale-faced Chao Wenrou came out of the house, probably because she was too nervous, and although she said that she had become a parent, she had never experienced such a thing in the end, and she was only a little older than Banniang. Seeing that Shiro's brothers were there, he was also stunned.

"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with my mother?" Shiro asked urgently.

"The situation is not good," Chao Wenrou shook her head, "You wait first, I'll go to the library to get some old ginseng." ”

Hearing Chao Wenrou say this, everyone was even more anxious. Banniang couldn't care about it, so she wanted to rush into the house, but was pulled by Chao Wenrou.

The bleeding has stopped, but the bloody scene, as well as the strong bloody atmosphere, Chao Wenrou still feels scared and wants to vomit, but she is a sister-in-law, and it is her responsibility to take care of her mother. The two stable women are the best stable women in the city, and there are doctors from the palace, even if you go, you can't help. ”

"But ......"

"Just listen to me." Chao Wenrou's voice couldn't help but be a little impatient.

Banniang turned around and glanced at Shiro, and Shiro also said, "Listen to the second sister-in-law, the house is not the place you should go." ”

Banniang had to give up. Listening to the growing voice of the Zhu family due to the pain inside, she couldn't help but secretly pray that as long as her mother and unborn baby were safe, she was willing to pay any price.

When people are afraid, they can't help but pin all their hopes on gods that are high up or do not exist.

Besides, because of her bizarre encounter, Banniang has received more than 20 years of atheist education, and deep down, she still has an uncertain belief in some things in the underworld.

I prayed silently in my heart, and because of the unrelieved tension, my hand unconsciously grabbed my clothes, but I accidentally touched the jade pendant hanging on my waist.

It was given to her by the Purple Yang Dao Chief.

Banniang was blessed to the heart, took the jade pendant off her waist, and handed it to Chao Wenrou: "Second sister-in-law, this is given to me by the Ziyang Daoist, saying that it is safe and safe, you can put it at the head of your mother's bed in a while." ”

It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. It's just useless, and there's no loss, isn't it?

"This ......" Ziyang Daoist's fame, Chao Wenrou has also heard of it, although it is a little strange, how can Banniang have a jade pendant sent by the Taoist, and just look at this jade pendant itself, it is also an excellent jade, and Banniang has always carried it with her, when she saw it before, she just thought it was just an ordinary good jade, but she didn't expect that it was still a thing of Ziyang Daochang. After listening to Banniang's words, he took it, turned around and entered the house.

After a while, Chao Wenrou came out of the house, and Banniang said: "Second sister-in-law, you take care of your mother, I'll go get ginseng." ”

Chao Wenrou thought about it for a while, and said: "That's also done, you let Chao's mother accompany you, she knows where it is." ”

After Banniang left the hospital, Chao Wenrou looked at the anxious and worried brothers in the house, and said to Shiro: "Shilang, you and the brothers of Zifu should go to dinner first, and they can't help here." ”

Where are you still in the mood to eat now? But what the second sister-in-law said is right, they really can't help here. Shiro said: "It's hard work second sister-in-law, it's all useless for us." I can't worry about my sister-in-law at this time. I'll take them back, so as not to get in the way here, by the way, Zijian went to ask for a doctor, and should be back soon, if there is something, you ask the maid to go to the front yard to call us, and we will wait in the front yard. ”

Hearing that the doctor was invited, Chao Wenrou also felt that there was so much more insurance, so she nodded and let them go.

In the Beishanzi Tea House, Di Yong looked at the densely smashed rain curtain outside, and did not stop at all. And the sky was already dark, and there were occasional pedestrians in the rain, but there was no figure that he missed all the time.

The business in the tea shop was very light because of the rain, Di Yong stood in front of the private room, silently looking at the occasional passers-by outside.

I don't know if something stumbled on her.

No, even if you can't come because of something, you should send someone to squeak yourself, is there something wrong?

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait any longer, walked out of the door of the private room, threw a bunch of money into the arms of the second boy, and rushed downstairs.

And in a private room on the second floor, a little lady dressed as a maid said to another woman who was undressing her cloak and handing it to the maid: "County Lord, look, isn't the one leading the horse downstairs my uncle?" ”

"Jiro?"

When the long, beautiful woman heard the maid's words, she rushed to the front and looked at the people in the rain downstairs, with a straight posture and a hat, even if she couldn't see her face, she could be sure that it was Di Yong.

These days are the tense period of preparation for war, the army is about to start, he is the general of the army, even if he is not the commander, but it is impossible to be so idle, it is raining at this time, how can he run to this tea house? You must know that because his appearance is too good, it is very inconvenient to go out in the past, so except when he accompanies Brother Nineteen, he rarely appears in the market, especially when he is still alone, and he doesn't even have an entourage. It's a bit unusual.

"Huanyu, you go and inquire."

"Yes, County Lord." The maid who found Di Yong first answered and went out to inquire about the second child. From time to time, he returned to the private room: "Back to the county lord, the guy said that my uncle came alone, and he stayed in the private room next door to us for an hour, and he didn't see anyone, and he didn't know why just now, so he left in a hurry." Do you want to send someone to take a look? ”

Qinghe's cold gaze swept over, and Huanyu hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

She has her pride. once thought that she had nothing to do with him, and in despair, when the news of the emperor's uncle's marriage came, she can still remember the joy of being born everywhere.

But what followed was humiliation.

Because of the relationship between Brother Nineteen and Di Yong, and later Di Yong entered the palace on an errand, when she met him, Brother Nineteen was very fond of her, so Di Yong's attitude towards her often made her feel in the spring breeze. But since the two got married, even if they met occasionally, what he gave her was just a warm look, not even a word.

Although she is a county lord, her family is raised like a man, Di Yong never pays attention to other women, but she can go with her.

She used to think that he was different to her.

But until that day, he pulled Zeng Banniang in front of her and left without hesitation. Only then did she realize that his feelings for her and his feelings for Zeng Banniang were different. Zeng Banniang is his cloud, and himself, at that moment, is like mud worthy of care under his feet. The so-called difference between cloud and mud is nothing more than that.

If you have no self in your heart, why should I lose my dignity and beg for your mercy? Her pride does not allow it.

At that time, those words rushed out of his mouth. Even now, she has no regrets.

The nineteenth sister-in-law said that it was not that she was bad, but there was no good or bad, no right or wrong in emotional matters.

She doesn't believe it, and she doesn't understand, in terms of family background, appearance, and talent, which point is she inferior to that Zeng Banniang?

But what's the use of her being good? He didn't like it.

For the first time in her life, she knew what despair was. And from then on he was tormented in despair day by day.

Until one day, she felt bored, and saw the smile in Di Yong's and Zeng Banniang's eyes when they met again, the so-called love and liking is what he did to her, right?

Others thought she was committing suicide that time, but it wasn't. She just hoped that she could cover the pain in her heart with the pain in her body. Even so, she never thought of begging for his love in front of him again.

Later, the emperor's uncle gave marriage. After the huge surprise, all that remained in my heart was fear.

She knew what kind of person he was. She always knew that. A gentle appearance may deceive others, but it can't. He is the kind of person who will resist in order to achieve his own goals, even if it is heaven, and she likes him, isn't it because of this?

Although she knew that since he didn't like her, even if she really got married, she wouldn't be happy, but another voice in her heart kept telling herself, no, maybe there was still a chance, she and him still had so long. She didn't trust all the time of the rest of her life, and she couldn't get rid of the person in his heart who had only known him for a few days. Sometimes, she felt that she spent her whole life just to get the shadow of another person in his heart, is such a life still her Qinghe's life? Is it the path she Qinghe should take?

Struggling with such a contradictory mood day by day, and then came the news that he was seriously ill and incurable.

She knew that her father and mother wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and she also knew that she went to the palace every day to ask for divorce. But she felt that it had nothing to do with her. Whether he divorced or Di Yong really died, all the endings couldn't hide his dislike for his essence.

Even the vicious will think, just let him die, he is dead, and his heart is dead. And Zeng Banniang can't get him after all, even if Zeng Banniang knows that he likes her, what? No matter how much he likes it, didn't he rebel against the imperial uncle's imperial order? That's it, that liking, that's just that.

They, she, Di Yong, Zeng Banniang, in this emotional war, no one won.

Unexpectedly, his illness was cured. And with the obvious ambition of the Northern Liao, the Great Song decided to start a war with the Northern Liao.

He asked for a leader. She wasn't surprised at all. And she was not disappointed when this marriage was stranded. Thinking that he was about to leave the capital and ask to go to the border pass, she even had a feeling of relief.

No matter what the future holds, at least, everything will be put on hold with his departure from Beijing.

She's going to use this time to be herself again.

When she got the exact news that he would leave for the border tomorrow, she decided to go out for a walk, despite the autumn rain and the chill outside.

Unexpectedly, he had hardly gone out for most of the year, but on this rainy day, he saw him.

What she didn't expect was that there was no wave in her heart.

Di Yong braved the rain and went all the way, but fortunately, because of the rain, there were very few pedestrians on the road, and the horse almost galloped away.

When I arrived at the door of Zeng's house, the door was closed, except for the two lanterns under the porch, which glowed faintly in the dark and rainy night.

Di Yong was about to step forward and knock on the door, but saw a young man in his early twenties leading an old man in Confucian clothes to jump down from the carriage, the young man rushed to the door and knocked on the door, and a porter came to open the door, because the light was too dark, Di Yong couldn't see the man's face clearly, and he had never seen Zeng Zijian, naturally he didn't know, when the door opened, Zeng Zijian pulled the old man and rushed into the door, Di Yong didn't have time to call, so he had to jump off the horse, and asked the coachman who was about to drive the carriage around the back door asked: " May I ask who is the boy who went in just now? ”

"It's the second son of the third room in our house, may I ask who this son is?"

The coachman glanced at the visitor, but saw that he was extraordinary, although he was wearing regular clothes, he could also see at a glance that he was either rich or noble, and he was afraid of offending the nobleman, so he hurriedly replied respectfully.

"My surname is Di, why is the second son of the house in such a hurry?"

The coachman replied: "Back to Di Gongzi's words, because the lady in our house accidentally fell and had a fetal gas, the sons were afraid that the stable wife and the doctor in the family would not be able to treat it, so for insurance, they went to ask the doctor to come back." Childe, but which son-in-law are you looking for in our family? But now our lady ...... The sons may not have time to receive Di Gongzi, if Di Gongzi is not in a hurry, why don't you come back another day? ”

"Is your wife worried about her life?"

The coachman shook his head: "This villain doesn't know, but I just look at the anxious appearance of the son, I'm afraid it's not good." Did Di Gongzi ask the villain to call the porter and inform you? ”

No wonder Yun Shan will miss the appointment.

He is now the county master of the Funing Palace, and the Zeng family must know about the matter with Yun Shan, so there is no reason to come to the door, let alone at this time?

Di Yong shook his head.

"Since there is something in the house, there is no need."

After speaking, he glanced at Zeng Zhai nostalgically and rode away.

Zijian invited the doctor to go to the listening lotus.

The old doctor was fine, Zijian ran back and forth, although he was escorted by a carriage, but his clothes were also wet, and the maids were afraid that he would freeze, so they persuaded him to go back and change his clothes. Zijian beckoned the old doctor to sit down, after all, the wet clothes were uncomfortable to wear, and the body really felt cold, so she asked Banniang to sit in the hall with the doctor, and she went back to change into clean clothes.

Banniang thought about coming over at this time, but she was afraid that the old doctor had not yet had dinner, so she first instructed Qiu Wei to send dinner for the eldest lady, because she didn't eat it herself, Qiu Wei sent two more servings, so Chao Wenrou came out of the house, although the two sisters-in-law had no appetite, they thought they still needed to cheer up, and they also ate some.

In the middle of the night, a baby's cry could finally be heard in the house.

With this cry, the brothers and sisters who were guarding the room also slumped into their chairs as if they were dehydrated. I couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Banniang couldn't help crying with joy.

Xuan thought again, the baby is fine, but what about the mother, how about the mother?

was about to rush into the house, but saw Chao Wenrou leaving the house with a happy face, Banniang hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Second sister-in-law, how is my mother?" ”

"Don't worry, my mother is fine, but her body is too weak. There's a stable woman taking care of it inside, don't worry. ”

"Thank goodness." When Banniang heard this, she bowed to the west with her palms together, and said something in her mouth.

Because they heard that the Zhu family was fine, and seeing Banniang like this, Shiro and the others laughed.

"Did the mother give birth to a younger brother or a younger sister?"

"It's my brother." Chao Wenrou said with a smile.

Banniang saw her tiredness, and hurriedly helped her sit down: "Second sister-in-law, you have been guarding for most of the night, my mother is fine now, you go back to the courtyard to rest, I am here." He turned his head to Shiro and the others: "Brothers, go back too, after all, you are here, and you can't help." ”

They really can't do anything if they stay here, Shiro smiled, "It's okay." ”

Seeing that the old doctor was still guarding, for the sake of stability, he said, "If you don't let the inside clean up, let's ask this old gentleman to help my mother take the pulse." ”

Banniang thought about it, so she told the mothers-in-law inside.

From time to time, the old doctor checked Zhu's pulse, and only said that due to excessive blood loss, coupled with the birth of a child, his body was very weak, and he needed to recuperate well in the future, but there was no other problem.

After the old doctor's words, everyone was really relieved.

Because it was the middle of the night, it was not good to let the old gentleman go back like this, Banniang ordered the maid to clean up the guest room, and said a lot of words, so Shiro sent the old gentleman back to the house to rest.

Although Chao Wenrou was not at ease, she was also driven back by Banniang.

For a while, in addition to the maid mother-in-law, only Banniang was alone, Zhu was lying on the bed, his face was pale, there was a newborn baby on the side, Banniang was in front of the bed, and in the quiet night, there was only the sound of rain dripping on the eaves.

Looking at the baby's wrinkled little face, thinking of this little new life, which is his younger brother, I feel strange in my heart.

On the night my father died, he once said that if he gave birth to a boy, he would call him Zikai.

Banniang smiled, lightly touched Zikai's face with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Little Twelve, Daddy said, your name is Zikai." Do you like the name? ”
