Chapter 172: The Concubine

The matter between the eldest girl of the Cen family and Cui Erwen really made Shen Baiyan say it, only the news of the death of the eldest girl of the Cen family was spread outside, and there was nothing else, it was just a small rumor, and it was also a little wind blowing on the corner of the street, and it couldn't cause a big storm.

"Ahem, ahem, just broke off a big girl, the Cen family is willing to do it?" Zeng Yunyi leaned on the side of the bed and coughed twice, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and after finally relieving himself, he asked very embarrassed.

Song Zhi told Zeng Yunyi the inside story of this matter, originally wanted to lead her to think about some side things, don't worry too much, but now that she is interested, she can't care about being disrespectful to the deceased, so she just said: "I heard that the Cui family also gave up a lot of silver, and Cui Erwen made a blood book, saying that he would never be sorry for Cui Cen in the future, and this matter is over." ”

"Human life is really thin." Zeng Yunyi couldn't help but sigh, "Why didn't the little girl next to you come today?" After she was busy that day, she found a shortage of medicinal materials for the doctor in the house, and Ru'er's illness was alleviated, and she didn't thank her yet. ”

Song Zhi opened his mouth, suppressed the reason why the water chestnut did something wrong, and only said: "Sister-in-law, thank me, it's fine, please invite me to eat two more teas." ”

"What's missing your cup of tea?" Zeng Yunyi smiled: "I think, let's reward her with a bag of golden beans, right?" ”

Song Zhi couldn't resist her, nodded and said, "That girl is blessed." ”

At this time, Cicada Yi brought the medicine, but was reprimanded by Zeng Yunyi: "Didn't you go to see Gu Ru'er, why did you come back again?" ”

Cicada Yi bit her lower lip, seemed to be a little aggrieved, and said, "The old lady is full of maids and women, and she is surrounded by the young master. The people on your side have changed to serve others, and the slaves and maids are not at ease. ”

Song Zhi looked at the cicada's expression, and had a little speculation in her heart, she rushed before Zeng Yun wanted to reprimand the cicada, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go change clothes first." ”

Zeng Yunyi nodded, holding back his words.

After Song Zhi went out, he didn't go to the side room to change clothes, but just stood in the courtyard and waited for the cicada clothes to come out.

"Princess." Cicada clothes are blessed.

"But did the people there make it difficult for you?" Song Zhi said straight to the point.

Cicada Yi has always had a good impression of Song Zhi, knowing that she is friendly with Zeng Yunyi and will not favor the Lin family, but even so, it is not easy to say it bluntly, and said: "It's okay, it's all for the good of the little son." This is a tacit acquiescence.

The Lin family complained a little that Zeng Yun was inappropriate, so even the people below looked at the cicada's clothes unpleasantly.

This is not the Lin family's unreasonable trouble, Ru'er was disturbed by the production, but there was a mistake that Zeng Yun was inconsiderate.

Song Zhi was silent, and only said, "You can get busy." ”

Ru'er has been having a low-grade fever, and she also invited the doctor in the palace to take a look, and after a dose of medicine, she only had peace for half a day, and the low-grade fever went back and forth, and Ru'er was already thin like a kitten in a few days.

He can't even compare to a cat, and a cat with enough milk is still a little stronger than him.

Zeng Yunyi went to see Ru'er with his sick body, and when he came back, he had to cry on his back.

Although Song Ling has official business in the past few days, she goes out early every day, but she also wants to go early and return early, so that in this quiet and easy to cause people to think a lot, she can accompany Zeng Yun more.

It's just that today is unfortunate, after he had dinner at home, he heard a report from someone, saying that one of his subordinates was framed and caused by an extremely difficult and strange peach blossom catastrophe.

"Why are you here? The weather is still so cold right now, and you're just out of confinement. Madame is generous, I have already exempted you from asking for peace, so why bother to come to the cold? As soon as Song Ling was discharged from the hospital, she bumped into the soft clothes holding the child.

Originally, the child was raised by the Lin family, but the Lin family is now busy taking care of Ru'er, and Zeng Yunyi's health is not good, so the child is still being raised by her own side for the time being, and she will make arrangements in the future.

"The concubine took the child to the old lady to say goodbye, thinking that on the day of delivery, the lady took care of the concubine's body, so that she could give birth to the child peacefully, the child is full moon, but I haven't seen the lady yet. The concubine wanted to ask you to give the child a nickname, but it can be seen that you are too busy, so she dared to think of one yourself, but I am afraid that it is a little rustic. ”

Rouyi carefully lifted the swaddling clothes and handed the child to Song Ling.

Song Ling subconsciously walked down the steps to block the wind for the child, and when he saw the child's young and lovely face, he couldn't help but feel a little tenderness in his heart, "What is the name?" ”

"Tiger Head." Rouyi looked at Song Lingtian's light and warm expression, and her heart was very happy.

This name seems to be given at random, but in fact, Rouyi has also been carefully figured out, what is Song Ling looking forward to the child most now? Only in good health can all diseases not invade this.

"Heh," Song Ling chuckled, "Okay, tiger head and tiger brain, body as tough as a tiger, let's call it this." ”

Rouyi blessed her and said, "The concubine went in." ”

Song Ling hesitated slightly, he was worried that Zeng Yunyi would think of Ru'er when he saw the tiger head, but if he didn't let the child see her, he couldn't say anything. Zeng Yunyi is a housemother after all, she is the mother of the tiger's head, how can there be no reason?

Thinking about it this way, Song Ling just said: "You don't have to stay too long, it's good that the etiquette is coming, Madame is not in good health, don't miss her rest." ”

"Yes." Rouyi said submissively.

Song Ling glanced at the tiger's head and left.

Rou Yi straightened up and looked at Song Ling's back, with a hint of pride on her face.

When Rouyi came, Zeng Yunyi had just used the decoction, and the bitter smell lingered in the room for a long time, and the cicada clothes were holding the incense box to add to the incense burner, and a strong fragrance was so strong that a somewhat choking smell rose from the incense burner.

Rouyi hurriedly hid the tiger's head back, but seemed to feel that her action was too disrespectful, and she turned around in the direction of Zeng Yunyi, and smiled flatteringly.

Her actions didn't mean anything, and even the cicada clothes could be seen clearly from the corner of her eyes.

Cicada Yi checked the mahogany box containing incense powder, and said to the maid who took care of the spices: "Why do you think this orchid fragrance is less?" ”

The maid knew the power of this sentence, so she knelt down and said hurriedly: "Sister Cicada, there is nothing to do." ”

"That's it. This spice is Mrs.'s favorite thing, one tael can cost ten taels of silver, ordinary people can't use and can't recognize this good spice, you are Mrs.'s side, how much should you have some knowledge! When she said this, the room was quiet.

"Yes, the slave must be well watched." The maid was busy talking.

Just look at the words of the cicada, but the two people who were beaten. Rouyi's face was not very good for a moment.

Zeng Yunyi didn't say a word, just sat down and tasted tea.

Although she has a kind temperament and a soft heart, it doesn't mean that she can be despised by others at will. Because of Ru'er's affairs, she has a little less affection for Rouyi, and when she sees her son's white and chubby appearance, her heart is even more sour.

However, because the child is also Song Ling's child, Zeng Yunyi still asked Cicada Yi to take a long-life lock collar that he had prepared before, which was made of red gold, except that the jade material on the pendant was inferior, and it was no different from the collar of Ru'er.

You must know that the jade material on Confucianism is Zeng Yun's dowry private property, and it is the family heirloom of Zeng's mansion, which can only be obtained by those who are close to the blood, and this concubine in soft clothes is naturally gone.

Rouyi took the collar with a smile, half-knelt to the ignorant baby in her arms, and said, "Quick, thank you, madam." I don't know if it's a quick mouth, or deliberately, Rouyi let the child call Mrs. Zeng Yunyi.

"My aunt was wrong, thank you mother." Cicada Yi said very quickly, as if she had prepared this sentence early, and wanted to plug Rouyi's mouth.

In the past, Rouyi accompanied Zeng Yun to go back to her grandfather's house Xie Mansion, and Mrs. Xie never wanted her concubines to call her mother, they all called her wife.

Rouyi also said this with a tentative mind, but she didn't expect to call Cicada Yi back with a word.

Only then did she realize that Zeng Yunyi's attitude was a little different from the past, "Madam, don't be surprised, I am used to calling you by myself, and my mouth is quick for a while." ”

"It's okay." Zeng Yunyi said calmly, as if he was still so good-natured.

She said slowly: "When Ru'er's body is well, the two brothers will be raised in one place, and it will be the same." ”

Rouyi only hung her head and said, "Madame's plan is naturally excellent and extremely thoughtful. She knew that Cicada Yi was looking at her, and she didn't dare to show a trace of unhappiness on her face, so she dared to say it so cautiously.

"Hmm." Zeng Yunyi stretched out his hand to the cicada clothes, motioned for her to help herself, and said, "I'm also tired, you can go." ”

"Yes." Rouyi heard of the amnesty, and walked out of the courtyard along the wall with the support of the maidservant.

Although the yard where Rouyi lives now is small, it is quite elegant, and it is not a light treatment for her aunt.

But Rouyi was still resentful, she complained that she had moved herself out of the yard after she gave birth, when the pain had not faded, and she was untidyly rolled up in a quilt and transported out by the little maid.

The soft-clothed maid heard her gritted her teeth and said what a good-faced and evil-minded person Zeng Yun was, and couldn't help but say: "Auntie, it was the captain who asked you to take you that day, ah! Before she could say a word, she was slapped in the face, and she didn't dare to speak.

Rouyi leaned on the side of the cradle, looking at the tiger's head sleeping soundly, and her eyes fell on the collar given by Zeng Yunyi, and the pendant on the collar was obviously not as moist as the pendant on Ru'er's neck.

Rouyi snorted lightly, thinking: 'If this child is raised by her, she will not be able to balance a bowl of water, I have been a slave to her for half a lifetime, is it possible that my child will also be a foil for her child for the rest of her life?' ’
