"What, you asked me to put my eldest sister's child in my name and Jin'er's name?" Ling Jiming looked at his mother dumbfounded, not knowing why she had such a ridiculous idea.

Wen nodded, "You don't have a son now, your eldest sister is willing to put the child in your name, isn't it the best of both worlds." ”

Hearing this, Ling Jiming's face sank, "When the eldest sister did such an ugly thing, I didn't say anything because I thought she was my own sister. You know that the child in her womb is an unknown father, why do you still put it in my name? ”

"What a seed, he's your own nephew." Wen rarely saw his son angry with him, and said with a little weakness: "Erlang, your eldest sister is still young, and she will definitely marry in the future, where can you find a good family with a child." For the sake of your father's mother, you will recognize this child. ”

Ling Jiming stiffened his face and said nothing, and Wen continued: "I'm not here for your good, you are in your twenties, you only have two daughters under your knees, your daughter-in-law's stomach is not moving now, and I don't know when our Ling family will have a queen." This child is your own nephew, as long as you recognize him, what is the difference between it and your own son. ”

There is a lot of difference between a nephew and a son, and Ling Jiming sneered in his heart.

"Fan's family doesn't know if you can give birth in the future, you are so strong, Jiang Yucheng, who is not as good as you everywhere, got two sons in one go, what about you, I don't have a son, I see how you can compare to him." Wen's words still didn't shake her, and she was a little annoyed and louder.

happened to be heard by Mei Zhi, who was about to come in to serve, and she hurriedly ran back and gave Fan Jin a word-for-word message.

"It's so deceitful." Fan Jin slapped the table angrily after hearing this, and sneered: "This must be Ling Yuanniang's slut who is acting as a demon, it seems that I am too tolerant on weekdays, making them think that I am a bully." ”

Mama Liu smoothed her down, "The girl doesn't have to be angry, let her jump for a few days first, calculate the days and her delivery date is approaching." ”

Fan Jin bowed, "I'm so big, if I don't want to, no one can take advantage of me Fan Jin." Let's wait for my husband to come back. ”

After Ling Jiming came back, Fan Jin pretended to know nothing, expecting him to tell him about it in person. But Ling Jiming disappointed her, and she didn't mention a word until she went to bed.

Ling Jiming's concealment made Fan Jin annoyed, and she said to Mama Liu: "Since that slut has the ability to be a demon, then send more medicinal materials to make her more energetic." ”

Mama Liu nodded in response, and Fan Jin said again: "Don't favor one over the other, Ling Sanniang will also send a copy." ”

Not long after, Ling Yuanniang received the medicinal herbs and bird's nest sent by Fan Jin, she picked up a bird's nest and looked at it, "My younger brother and sister are really generous, how could I see these things before." ”

After putting down the bird's nest, she stroked her stomach again and said softly: "Although I wished I could not live without you at first, I have also figured it out in the past few months, rather than beating you off, it is better to use you to get some benefits, and it can be regarded as the fate of our mother and son." ”

On the fifth day of the third month of the thirteenth year of Xianqing, Jiang Yucheng, Ling Jiming and his party finally arrived in the capital after walking the waterway for more than 20 days. Zhang Yuanqing had a house in the capital, and Jiang Yucheng lived in his teacher's house at his invitation.

On Ling Jiming's side, Fan Jin sent a letter to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion before entering Beijing, and wanted to take her husband and daughter to meet her grandfather Yongyi Hou, who originally entered Beijing only with their family of four, who knew that the Ling family was all coming, so they couldn't go to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.

Fan Jin disliked the Ling family's rudeness and rudeness, and was afraid that they would lose face, so he sent someone to rent a small courtyard in Huaishu Lane on East Street and let the Ling family live in it. After settling them, Fan Jin took Ling Jiming and his two daughters to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.

After they left, Ling Yuanniang said angrily: "Father, mother, the Fan family deliberately threw us on this broken ground, but took his younger brother and nieces to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion to meet them, making it clear that he looked down on our Ling family. ”

Ling Sanniang frowned when she heard this and said, "Eldest sister, don't forget, the second sister-in-law is the granddaughter of the Marquis of Yongyi, and when she comes to the capital, she will go to the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion to see what's wrong." ”

Du Dalang on the side also said: "It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, the second brother's errand after this debriefing, I have to come forward when I am afraid." ”

As soon as his words fell, Father Ling nodded, "What the son-in-law said is right, Erlang's errand needs to rely on Yongyi Hou, and you must not offend your daughter-in-law at this time." Yuan Niang, you have been honest with me recently, if it affects your brother's errand, don't blame me for being a ruthless father. ”

Ling Yuanniang's face became a little ugly when she heard this, "Hmph, I want to see how big she is, and how big an official Yong Yihou can give to Erlang in her face." ”

After saying that, she walked out angrily, Wen saw that she was walking fast with a big belly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "You dead girl, why are you so angry, you still have to die." ”

Ling Yuanniang just wanted to refute, when she suddenly felt something flowing out from under her, and then there was a dull pain in her stomach, as if someone was beating her with a hammer.

"Mother, my stomach hurts."

Seeing this, Wen reached out and touched the bottom of her skirt, and felt that the skirt inside was already soaked. She shouted: "His father, Sanniang, hurry up and help, Yuan Niang is about to give birth." ”

The sudden change made the three people in the room stunned, and Wen's voice brought them back to their senses. Du Dalang said: "I'll go find Wen Po." After saying that, he rushed out like a gust of wind.

Father Ling and Wen helped their daughter to the bed and lay down, while Ling Sanniang went to the stove room to boil water. Before Fan Jin went to the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, he took away all the maids and wives around him, and there was only one old man who was guarding the door in the rented courtyard.

Ling Yuanniang's birth was extremely difficult, and Wen Po asked her not to shout and save her strength to give birth to a child, but she scolded her. Wen Po was angry in her heart, and didn't say a word more, letting her scream.

Ling Yuanniang's face was hideous, and she grabbed Wen's hand and howled, "Mother, it hurts, I don't want to give birth." ”

Wen comforted her daughter distressedly, "Yuan Niang, bear with it, the child is about to come out." ”

This is Wen Po looked at Ling Yuanniang's body, "The palace mouth is fully opened, and no matter how hard you try, you can already see the child's head." ”

Ling Yuanniang did as Wen Po said, and after a sharp pain, she felt something slip out of her body. Having experience in childbirth, she knew that she had finally given birth to a child.

"Congratulations, it's a boy."

Hearing Wen Po say that it was a boy, Ling Yuanniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and when she was about to see the child, she heard Wen Po's panicked voice again, "This... How could this child have six fingers on his left hand? ”

Six fingers? Ling Yuanniang was shocked and struggled to sit up. Seeing this, Wen Shi hurriedly held her down, "You're crazy, you can't move after giving birth." ”

"Mother, what's wrong with the child?" She looked at Wen in horror.

Wen's face turned pale, "You lie down first, and I'll bring the child over." ”

After speaking, he took the child from Wen Po's hand, "Look at it." ”

Ling Yuanniang's gaze slowly fell on the child's left hand, and she saw that there was an extra pink strip of meat next to her little thumb. Ling Yuanniang held her head and shouted, "Ahhhhh Take him away, I don't want to see him, I don't want to see him..."

The movement in the delivery room alarmed Ling Lao's father and Ling Sanniang outside, Ling Sanniang hurriedly ran in, when she saw Ling Yuanniang holding the swaddling clothes and was about to smash them on the ground, she was so frightened that her heart rose to her throat, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”

Hearing her voice, Ling Yuanniang looked at her, and at the right time, Wen snatched the swaddling clothes over.

"Mother, give me that demon." Ling Yuanniang said with a hideous face: "He is an unknown person, and he can't be kept." ”

Wen Po took the opportunity to go out, but it was a happy event but it became like this, and she didn't bother to ask the family for a reward, so she packed up her things and left.

Ling Yuanniang's son was born with six fingers, and the sky above the Ling family's small courtyard seemed to be clouded, and everyone's mood was very heavy.

"The six fingers are unknown, and this child can't be kept." After being silent for a long time, Father Ling took the lead in speaking: "Drown, it will be said to the outside world that Yuan Niang gave birth to a stillborn baby." ”

Wen opened his mouth and did not speak.

"Dad, isn't it too cruel to do this, no matter how you say it, he is also the bloodline of our Ling family." Ling Sanniang did not agree with Father Ling's disposition and spoke out against it.

Ling Yuanniang looked at her sister coldly: "Since the third sister pities him, then take it and raise it, I have no opinion." ”

"You..." Ling Sanniang was about to refute, when she heard Du Dalang say: "Let me and Sanniang raise this child, even if we agree, my father and mother will not agree." But this child is a life after all, so it is better to throw him out of the nursery school, and if he is picked up by the nursery people, it will be considered a good deed. ”

Wen nodded hurriedly, "His father, son-in-law is right, just hand over the child to the nursery school." ”

"Dad, give him a way out." Ling Sanniang also followed suit.

Father Ling looked at Ling Yuanniang, and Ling Yuanniang said with a wooden face: "As long as you don't let me see him, it has nothing to do with me whether he is dead or alive." ”

Father Ling sighed, hugged the child and said to Du Dalang: "I don't know where the nursery is, you go with me." ”

He didn't know where the nursery was, Du Dalang said secretly, but his father-in-law's words couldn't help but listen, so he had to respond. After dark, the two took advantage of the night to throw the child at the door of the nursery school, knocked on the door, and hurriedly hid in the corner of the side.

After about a cup of tea, the door of the nursery hall was opened, and a middle-aged man with a beard came out.

Weng and his son-in-law glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them walked back easily, but when they were still one street away from the Ling family's courtyard, they were caught by the officers and soldiers patrolling at night.

There is a curfew at night in the capital, and after three o'clock in the morning, it is the curfew time, and the people are not allowed to move around at will during the curfew. If it is an official business such as sending a letter to the government, or a private matter such as buying medicine and seeking medical treatment for marriage, funeral, or illness, you can walk with the permission of the patrol officers and soldiers, but you are not allowed to go out of the city.

When Father Ling and Du Dalang first arrived in the capital, Ling Jiming told them about the rules of the curfew, but they didn't pay attention to it at all, and after being caught by the patrol officers and soldiers, they had to move out of the relationship with the Marquis of Yongyi. After hearing the words of Yong Yihou, the officer in charge of the patrol ordered them to be put in prison.
