38. Dystocia
When Xu Hui took Xu Shu back to Xu's house, he found that Xu's family had become a pot of porridge, and the steward who greeted him at the door said, "The third lady is about to give birth, and I got a letter saying that the third master has entered the city!" ”
Xu Hui went out early in the morning, and he didn't know that An's had just made a fuss in the morning, so he said, "This is a good thing, maybe the third brother and sister will have been born when the third brother comes back!" ”
The steward couldn't talk about An's dystocia, so he just smiled and didn't answer.
"Your mother must be at your third aunt's side at this time, so you don't have to go to ask for peace, and then go when everything is over, so as not to run in vain!" Xu Hui sent Xu Shu to the second gate and instructed.
Xu Shu nodded, "My daughter knows!" It's just that Grandmother's side should still go! ”
Xu Hui nodded, saw Xu Shu leave, and took his entourage to the door to greet the third master.
Because Xu Shu was praised by King Ji, and was rewarded by the Queen Mother, coupled with the fact that the Xu family climbed to the Song family because of this matter, and Xu Shu's solving of the case made many families inherit the favor of the Xu family, so that the Xu family was instantly sought after in Beijing, so the Wang family looked at Xu Shu at this time It was extremely pleasing to the eye.
"A few days ago, Princess Ji also sent her mother-in-law to see you, but you went to Hanxi Temple and didn't see you!"
Xu Shu said with a smile, "I heard the Empress Dowager mention it in the palace, and the granddaughter wrote a post to visit Princess Ji another day!" ”
Wang nodded, "That's the reason, people like us can't be without courtesy!" ”
Xu Shu took a box from Bangfeng and gave it to Wang, "This is the Snow Face Pill taken by the Empress Dowager, take one pill with peach blossom wine every three days, and take it for three months to regain snow skin and jade skin!" ”
Before opening the box, he smelled the fragrance overflowing, and heard Xu Shu say that it was the Empress Dowager who took it, Wang couldn't help but get excited, opened it and saw that there were ten white pills as white as jade neatly arranged inside, but his face was disgusted, "Since it is taken by the Empress Dowager, where can people of our status use it!" ”
Xu Shu said with a smile, "Although grandmother uses it, this Xueyan Pill is the exclusive secret recipe of Duanmu Imperial Doctor, this time the son of the Duanmu family is in prison, and now he has inherited the love of our Xu family, so Duanmu Imperial Doctor specially sent this Xueyan Pill, and said that it will be sent once a month in the future, and the custody will keep it so that grandmother's youth will last forever!" ”
Xu Shu's flattering Wang Shile couldn't close his mouth, "You kid is sweet-mouthed!" ”
Xu Shu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's just that grandmother don't say it, otherwise Imperial Doctor Duanmu will only be punished by the Empress Dowager!" ”
Wang nodded again and again, "This is nature!" ”
Saying that, Wang took the pills, pulled Xu Shu into the inner room, picked them up in the makeup box, and picked out two jade hairpins, one with a gold inlaid jade arm and gave it to Xu Shu, "The first ten girls asked me for it, but I didn't give it, her wild temperament will be ruined in a few days!" Just think that such a delicate object is the best for you! ”
Xu Shu carefully accepted it, "Thank you grandmother!" The granddaughter must take care of it! ”
Wang said angrily, "If you give it to you, you will wear it, what are you doing with it?" As he spoke, he put the arm on Xu Shu, looked at it, and was very satisfied, "Not bad!" This is how you wear it perfectly! I came back and found a master to make another one, and made a pair! ”
At this time, Mama Zhang said happily outside, "The third master is back, and I am afraid that I have already entered the second gate at this time!" ”
"Say hello to my mother, my son is not filial, and my mother is worried!" As soon as the third master Xu Yang entered the door, he knelt down and kowtowed to the Wang family.
I haven't seen my son for more than half a year, and the corners of Wang's eyes have tears in his eyes, and it took a long time before he said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."
Xu Yang said with a guilty face, "My son was on a whim, but I didn't expect that my mother would work hard to take care of his wife and children for his son, and my son is really unfilial..."
Speaking of this, Wang remembered An's who was giving birth, "I think your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, you should hurry up and freshen up and take a look!" ”
At the mention of An's family, Xu Yang looked embarrassed and stammered, "My son brought someone back, and he was waiting outside..."
Brought one back? Wang was stunned for a moment, touching Xu Yang's embarrassed look, Wang understood who this person was! Thinking that Xu Yang and the red fern were not clear, Wang's face was a little bad, and he just sat and didn't speak.
Xu Yang thought for a long time, and said in a low voice, "... She's got a body..."
Wang glared at Xu Yang fiercely before he said, "Call her in!" ”
The woman came in with her head down, and she didn't look around, and when she saw that no one gave her a cushion, she had to kneel on the ground upright, and said, "Concubine Hao, please be happy with the old lady!" ”
Hao's words are round, his speech is clear, and his body does not shake, but it is not disgusting.
"Raise your head!" Wang's tone was much better.
Hearing this, Hao raised his head halfway, but he didn't see how beautiful she was, but her eyebrows were delicate, so Wang had a good impression of her.
"Do you have family? Where is your hometown? What does the family do? Wang asked again.
"The concubine is from Yuhang, there is only one brother in the family, the parents died when the concubine was young, the concubine was raised by the brother and sister-in-law, the brother was a show talent in the year before last, and now he is studying at home! The family still has a few acres of thin fields, and now they rely on land rent to make a living! Hao Shi said unhurriedly.
It's a good woman! Wang glared at Xu Yang dissatisfied, but seeing Hao's slightly protruding belly, Wang had no choice but to say, "Today, the third lady gives birth, and I can't take care of you, so you go to Shuiyueju to live with Aunt Qin first, and call two little girls to serve you, and wait for the third lady to come out of confinement!" ”
When Hao heard Wang's words, he knew that his identity was safe, and he made up his mind, and he was busy kowtowing and being led by the girl.
Seeing Hao's identity, Xu Yang hurriedly brought tea to Wang, Wang took a sip of Xu Yang's hand, remembered the bad things An had done, and sighed heavily, "No matter how bad An's is, you are also a husband and wife in your twenties, don't have a newcomer, forget about the relationship between husband and wife for many years!" ”
Xu Yang nodded again and again, "My son Nahao's is purely accidental!" In the south, the woman can also hold up the door, her brother studies hard behind closed doors, and her sister-in-law has to take care of her young nephew, and the livelihood of the family falls on her. That day, her son was shocked and almost hurt her, but it was reasonable that her son had a skin-to-skin relationship with her, so he accepted her! She was originally the daughter of a good family, but she ruined her innocence because of her son, and her son really couldn't bear it! ”
The Wang family only thought that Xu Yang was moved when he saw Hao's gentleness, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason, so he couldn't blame him. "I see that she is a docile person, if she is well-behaved, she will help her more since her family is struggling to make a living!"
Xu Yang said, "When my son accepted her, he gave the Hao family fifty taels of silver!" ”
Fifty taels of silver is nothing to the Xu family, but it is a huge amount of money to the Hao family, Wang nodded, "Since you are a scholar, if you have a chance in the future, it will also be beneficial to our family!" ”
At this time, Mama Wu came in in a panic, "Old lady, the third lady has a difficult birth!" ”
