These two aunts talked a lot with Yan Qingge, but they never neglected Yan Shuyu.

At about dusk, the two aunts said, "Lord Yan, it's not early, we have to go back to the palace." We'll come back another day. ”

Yan Songnian hurriedly sent the two aunts out respectfully.

When he returned to Hanyouju, when he arrived at the door, he saw Wuwen and Ink, and he was angry, so he stepped forward and kicked them fiercely, shouting and scolding: "I told you to watch the door, what do you think?" ”

Wuwen and Langmo said: "The master spares his life, the eldest lady must go in, the minions can't stop it." ”

At this time, Yan Qingge's faint voice came from the courtyard: "Why is it difficult for my father to be two subordinates, where can I go to this Yan family?" ”

Yan Songnian didn't expect Yan Qingge to leave today, and stayed in Hanyouju, he stopped kicking people under his feet, and said, "Qingge, why didn't you go back to Qingxingyuan." ”

Yan Qingge said lightly: "I want to ask my father, the two grandmothers in the palace came to see each other's concubines and discuss the marriage between the concubines of the Yan family and the prince, why didn't my father call me, but let my concubine and Aunt Chu come out to accompany them." ”

The fat on Yan Songnian's face trembled, and he didn't dare to look directly at Yan Qingge.

He didn't know that Yan Qingge had already known that he had recorded Yan Shuyu and Yan Runxin in his family tree.

"You're thin, I'm afraid you'll have a bitter summer and heat stroke, so I didn't ask you to run this trip." Yan Songnian explained dryly.

"Then isn't my father afraid of my sister's bitter summer? Walking here from Mingxinzhai is much farther than coming from Qingxingyuan. And my sister is still wearing a coat with three layers inside and three layers outside, isn't my father afraid of her suffering from heat stroke? Yan Qingge said mockingly, looking like he had to ask what was going on.

Yan Songnian became impatient, waved his hand and said, "What I do, I have my own reasons, you can go back if you have nothing to do." ”

Since the father would not say, the daughter did not ask. But it is a big sin to deceive the royal family, and I hope my father will not do it again next time. Yan Qingge bowed and saluted casually, turned around and left.

Compared with the standard and smart etiquette she gave to her aunt in the palace just now, this etiquette is simply telling Yan Songnian nakedly that he is not worthy of Yan Qingge's ceremony.

Yan Songnian seemed to have been slapped by Yan Qingge, his face was hot, and his chest was stuffy with anger. A pair of eyes that were squeezed by fat were full of hatred, Yan Qingge was simply his heart disease now.

The more he did to be sorry for Yan Qingge, the more he felt that Yan Qingge was a thorn in his side.

In the past, Le Yi was in the capital, he didn't dare to move Yan Qingge for half a minute, but now Le Yi has gone to Qingzhou, the mountains are high and the road is far away, Yan Qingge has no backer, and he dares to have this attitude towards him, Yan Songnian is uneasy when he thinks about it.

He secretly said in his heart, it seems that Caifeng and the others are right, this Yan Qingge is not his Yan Songnian at all, otherwise why doesn't he have a father-daughter nature for him.

However, he will not help the royal family raise his daughter for so long in vain. When Yan Shuyu becomes the crown princess, he has the opportunity to meet the emperor and tell the truth about this matter, in order to cover up his ugliness, the emperor may not give him a small reward, even if he asks for a big official to do it, the emperor has to pinch his nose and agree.

Come to think of it. Yan Songnian's mood was better.

Just as he was sitting in the circle chair and making a small abacus, the housekeeper walked in, holding the account book, and said, "Master, the second lady went to the account room and asked for a thousand taels of silver." ”

"What? What does she want so much silver for? Yan Songnian's body jumped and asked unhappily.

"The second lady said that the aunt in the palace will come in a few days, her clothes and jewelry are old, and she needs to buy a few new sets."

"Give her a hundred taels!" Yan Songnian's fat hand touched the beard on his lips and said, "It's just to make clothes and jewelry, and I don't need that much." ”

Yan Shuyu listened to the news from the account room in Mingxinzhai, angrily pushed the needlework dustpan on the table to the ground, stomped his feet and said, "Why is Dad so stingy." What is enough for a hundred taels of silver, is it called Hanako? ”

Colorful threads and cloth were scattered all over the ground, and her maid didn't dare to speak, so she squatted down and quietly cleaned up.

After a tantrum attack, Yan Shuyu instructed Su Xin: "You go and ask your mother how much silver she has, let her give me some." ”

Su Xin withdrew and went to find Aunt Hai.

The door of Aunt Hai's bedroom was hung with a cotton curtain for winter, and the room was quiet, and no human voice could be heard.

Su Xin opened the curtain and walked in, only to see that the doors and windows in the house were blocked by heavy cotton curtains, and no light could penetrate it, only a twisted oil lamp was lit in the corner, which was about to be extinguished, emitting a faint light, barely enough to prevent people from tripping when walking.

The two maids who were waiting for Aunt Hai, Cai Ling and Cai Bottle, knelt in front of Aunt Hai's bed, pursed their mouths and gently rubbed Aunt Hai's legs, not daring to make any sound.

Seeing Su Xin, Cai Ling shook her head at her, and Cai Bottle stood up and pulled Su Xin to the courtyard outside.

"My aunt is asleep, what's the matter with Sister Su Xin?" Caihua asked.

After the young maids who served Aunt Hai last time ran away, Aunt Hai went back to Hai's house and asked for a few maids to serve her temporarily. These maids are loyal to Aunt Hai and serve them very carefully.

"The second lady asked me to ask my aunt if she still had any money. The old man was only willing to give the second lady a hundred taels of silver, but the second lady said it was not enough. ”

Caihua sighed and said, "Auntie, how can I have any money." A few days ago, she gave Aunt Chu 2,000 taels of silver, as a reward for the second lady to enter the family tree. If it weren't for the Hai family or the pharmacy, he wouldn't even be able to afford to take medicine now. ”

Yan Shuyu lifted the curtain and walked out of the house, angry.

She didn't have a good face for the color bottle, and said, "How do you know that my mother has no money." She sold the Yan family's library and got a lot of silver. It's not that you slaves are greedy for ink. ”

"Second Miss, the money my aunt got from selling books was given to the master, and even her own private room was filled in, a total of 200,000 taels of silver. My aunt really doesn't have any money left. ”

"There are so many books, and there are many unique and rare books in them, and they have only been sold for 200,000 taels? Who are you fooling! Yan Shuyu said unhappily.

"Those books are not worth a lot, and half of them have not been sold, they are all in the Hai family, and it is difficult to sell. When the second miss returned to Hai's house, she also took some of them, and the second miss should know best. If my aunt hears this, it will be so chilling. Cai Vase looked at Yan Shuyu in surprise, unable to believe that Yan Shuyu said this.

Yan Shuyu was unrelenting, and said: "There is no money, where did I get good clothes and jewelry." Do you really think that I have the title of the first of the four talented women in the capital, and the aunts from the palace will let me be in tatters, and they will not be able to look down on me? The Ge linen shirt that Yan Qingge is wearing today is made of Gongge, and the dense yarn of cicada wings used for the coat costs more than 300 taels of silver for a horse, and it can only be bought by ordering it in advance. What about me? What do I have? Wearing last year's dress, his hands and feet are shortened. My hairpin ring, except for the jade scraps, is silver. What do I compare to her? ”

Listening to Yan Shuyu's complaint, Cai Bottle's heart softened a little, and she said softly: "Second Miss, it's better for you to go back to Hai's house and pay some money first." The old lady knows that you are preparing for the election of the crown princess, and she will definitely give you silver. ”

"I'm not surnamed Hai!" Yan Shuyu's eyes turned red: "I always go back to Hai's house to ask for this and that, what is it?" My mother refused to help me, and how could my grandparents and uncles give me money to spend. No, I'm going to ask my mother in person if she really doesn't care about me. ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Shuyu plunged into Aunt Hai's black hole bedroom.

Aunt Hai was not decent after she was pregnant, she couldn't sleep well all day and all night, and a little movement could wake her up. Yan Shuyu was crying and shouting outside, and she had already been woken up.

In the past, Aunt Hai was not fat, but now she is thin like a skeleton, covered in skin and bones, her cheeks are deep, her chin is pointed like a knife, only her forehead is protruding, occupying most of her face.

Her eyes widened with difficulty, and she looked not like a person, but like a ghost. Such a woman, not to mention that a man will not like it when he sees it, even if a woman sees it, she must scream and avoid it.

Yan Shuyu held Aunt Hai's hand with a bag of tears in her mouth: "Mother, why are you doing this? ”

Aunt Hai said angrily: "Shuyu, you have no money to spend?" Then she looked at the color bottle and said, "Go and bring my box, I have a few pieces of gold jewelry, and I will exchange them for the second lady." ”

Yan Shuyu still had a lot of gold jewelry when she was a child, but now that she is older, it is not appropriate to wear it again. She wants to melt gold jewelry, just use her own, and use Aunt Hai to sell it here.

But she didn't show it on her face, and said with tears: "Mother, I don't want your gold jewelry, I want you to get better." ”

"What kind of stupid thing to say, my mother is not sick, my mother is just pregnant. I'll be happy when I'm done giving birth to your brothers. Aunt Hai mentioned her son, with a happy smile on her face, and a pair of hands made of thin bamboo knots moved to her stomach.

Her baby was diagnosed by Lang Zhong and was a quadruplet. If she could give birth, she would have four sons.

In order to protect the baby, she did everything she could, but her body still collapsed quickly. Now I can't see the light, I can't get cold, I can't be frightened, I can't go to the ground, I can't eat or vomit, and I even faint from time to time.

But Aunt Hai doesn't care, the child in her arms is already six months old, and as long as she lasts for more than a month, she can take the oxytocic medicine and give birth to them. These are four boys, even if they are less than a month, there are always one or two who can survive, and when the time comes, she will raise her eyebrows in the Yan family.

Yan Shuyu's warm tears fell on Aunt Hai's cheeks, and Aunt Hai said, "What are you crying about?" Your father won't give you money, I'll give it to you. After a few months, you will enter the palace as the crown princess, and you will have the support of your younger brother, and your life will be better in the future. People, you have to be cruel to yourself, and only then can you have a sweet ...... if you suffer what others can't bear."

As she spoke, her voice lowered. Cai Bottle was taken aback, and quickly pulled Yan Shuyu away, and said, "It's not good, my aunt has fainted again, hurry up and give my aunt a needle and medicine." ”

As she spoke, Caihua and Cailing skillfully opened Aunt Hai's breasts, only to see her shriveled breasts. On the house, it is densely packed with dark or shallow needle eyes.

One of the color bottles and the color ringtones pried open Aunt Hai's mouth to give her medicine, and the other pricked her with needles, and they worked hard for a long time before pulling her out of the coma.

Yan Shuyu looked at such a ghostly Aunt Hai, and sneered in her heart for a while-would rather toss her life for her son, and not see her daughter standing in front of the hospital bed?

But she still had sadness on her face, shook Aunt Hai's hand, and said, "Mother, I won't quarrel with you." Anyway, the aunt in the palace will come a few times, and I am not in a hurry to make clothes and jewelry. You take good care of your body. ”

Aunt Hai smiled with relief, feeling the fetal movements coming from her huge ugly belly, and fell asleep with a happy smile.
