Chapter 334: Silver Frost Charcoal
"What the hell is going on?" Second Grandma Qi asked anxiously.
"My aunt was sleeping in the house, and the servants were waiting outside. The minions suddenly heard the aunt screaming, and hurried into the house, and saw the aunt fall to the ground. The slave saw that the situation of the aunt was very bad, and he was busy going back and forth to his grandmother. The little girl knelt on the steps, and then she spoke much more smoothly.
"Old lady, madam, this is ......" Second Grandma Qi looked very anxious, "I have to go back and have a look." ”
Rong and the others had already heard the little girl's words clearly in the house.
"Go ahead." Yung Road.
Grandma Qi Er hurriedly took Dong'er and a few girls away.
Rong thought for a while, and then instructed Second Lady Qi, "You also go and have a look." Dye the girl left. ”
Second Mrs. Qi also got up and went to the Pomegranate Courtyard. Xun Qingran was pregnant because she was pregnant, so she was not good at going to such an occasion, so she waited for news with Rong in Yinianju.
………………
The west wing of the pomegranate courtyard was full of people, as well as the people who were busy coming in and out, all of them holding their breath. The inner room of the wing room was filled with an unpleasant smell of blood. Inside the house was a freshly lit charcoal basin and a wooden barrel. Aunt Cai was lying on the bed with a pale face, her eyes closed, and only her chest rose and fell weakly. There was a small swaddling cloth beside her, and some cattails and other production things were scattered around.
The eldest lady and the second lady Qi looked at the swaddling clothes, and their faces were gloomy.
Grandma Qi Er sobbed while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"My second master and I looked forward to it day and night, and finally looked forward to one, but it was gone. God has no eyes, and I feel sorry for me. ”
"Grandma, please mourn." The mother-in-law on one side persuaded.
"It's stuffy here, please go and sit outside." Second Grandma Qi accompanied the eldest lady and Second Mrs. Qi to sit outside, leaving only the stable wives to clean up in the house.
I could hear the sound of footsteps outside, and Qi Xiu, the second master of the Qi family, picked up the curtain and stepped in. He heard the news and rushed back all the way, although he was anxious to see Aunt Cai, he didn't forget the rules, and still dusted off the sleeves of his robe to greet the eldest lady and Second Mrs. Qi.
The eldest lady and the second lady Qi glanced at each other, both a little unbearable.
"You go in and see Aunt Cai." The eldest lady said.
It happened that a mother-in-law came out of the inner room with a wooden barrel, and the bloody breath on his face made Qi Xiu feel bad in his heart. Qi Xiu glanced at the wooden barrel and saw that it was almost full of blood and water.
The girls and mothers-in-law all got out of the way of the way, and Qi Xiu entered the inner room.
A steady woman was putting the little swaddling clothes on the bed into the basket.
Qi Xiu took a few steps over, snatched the swaddling clothes and opened them, and inside was an almost full-term baby boy, but it had long been silent.
The mother-in-law watched from the side as Qi Xiu hugged the dead baby tightly and refused to let go, but no one dared to step forward to persuade him.
Qi Xiu looked at the baby in his arms almost greedily, knowing that he was not angry, but he was reluctant to let go. I don't know how long it took, but he hugged the swaddling clothes like this and cried.
"When she went out in the morning, she was fine, what's wrong, a living boy." Qi Xiu cried.
Second Grandma Qi was following behind Qi Xiu, and when he cried, Second Grandma Qi became more and more sad to cry, and she was about to hit the pillar.
"My son, my son." Grandma Qi Er cried.
The girl-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to hug Grandma Qi, and the maid-in-law who was waiting also cried. Qi Xiu was in pain, Second Grandma Qi was crying and almost fainted, the eldest lady and Second Lady Qi also came over to persuade them, and it took a while to reluctantly stop the two of them crying.
Aunt Cai was lying on the bed, still unconscious.
Everyone persuaded Qi Xiu to put the dead baby down, and Qi Xiu sat down on the edge of Aunt Cai's bed.
"You're still young, and your son will always have it." The eldest lady said.
"No matter how much silver it costs, I must raise my sister's body well, and then give birth to children for the second master." Grandma Qi said, "I'll go to the Bodhisattva to burn incense and make a wish." ”
…………
Yi Nian Ju, Rong and Xun Qingran soon heard the news. Aunt Cai fell and had a miscarriage, but the child was born alive, but she didn't cry. Before the doctors arrived, the child was gone.
Rong listened to his mother-in-law's return, and did not speak for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh. Xun Qingran was afraid that the Rong family would not be able to stand the news, so she had to say something to explain, so she sat with the Rong family for a long time. Rong's face was tired, and Xun Qingran also said goodbye from Yinian Center.
The weather was gloomy, Xun Qing wrapped the big coat on his body tightly, and asked Mama Xu beside her, "What do you hear?" ”
The mother-in-law who came to Yinianju to reply only said that Aunt Cai gave birth to a male fetus, and she was still breathing when she fell into the grass. Aunt Cai has only been in the door for a few months, and the baby is only a little more than four months old. With Rong's old way, I am afraid that my heart will already be clear. Grandma Qi San's matter has only passed, although the Rong family didn't say anything, but Xun Qingran saw it clearly next to him, and the Rong family's attitude towards Brother Mao was suspicious, but he couldn't be sure. I have to say that Aunt Cai's incident is another thorn in the heart for an old man who pays attention to the bloodline of his children.
"The slave inquired, and Aunt Cai is still in a coma. The people who were waiting around her said that she had fallen herself. The invited doctor showed Aunt Cai and said that Aunt Cai was injured this time, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to conceive in the future. Mama Xu whispered.
"Say hello to the fourth grandmother."
The master and servant were talking, and a mother-in-law came from the side of the pomegranate courtyard, and when she saw Xun Qingran, she hurriedly bent her knees to say hello, but it was Yuan Mama next to the eldest lady.
"Mama, get up and talk." Xun Qing said, "Where did Mama come from?"
Mama Yuan sighed, "The slave is just in the pomegranate courtyard, hey, pitiful." ”
Xun Qingran was wondering about the situation over there, and when she saw that this woman had something to say, she took the opportunity to ask. Mama Yuan is a talkative, and she said it crackling.
"Aunt Cai has woken up......" Mama Yuan said.
After Aunt Cai woke up, she knew that the fetus had fallen, and it was still a male fetus, and she knew that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future, so she cried to death several times. Qi Xiu asked her what was going on, she couldn't say anything, saying that she felt a stomachache when she got up, and she was thirsty, and she shouted for water, but no one cared about it at all, so she had to get out of bed and pour water on the table to drink, but as soon as she got out of bed, she tripped over a small pestle on the ground, and then fainted in pain.
Qi Xiu had no choice but to call the maiden who was waiting beside Aunt Cai to inquire, but everyone said that they didn't hear Aunt Cai calling outside, and when they heard the call and entered the house, Aunt Cai had already fallen to the ground.
Aunt Cai's words to the words of the girls.
Some people said that the girls were lazy, and they were afraid of punishment afterwards, so they discussed the rhetoric, and some people guessed that Aunt Cai herself was careless, and she was afraid that Qi Xiu would blame, so she made up such a statement.
Qi Xiu was angry, so he tied up those girls and mothers-in-law and slapped the board.
"Those girls and mothers-in-law are still the same, the second master is angry, and the trouble is inextricable. The second grandmother couldn't look past it, and came out to say that Aunt Cai should be recuperating at this time, how to hear such a voice, and the second grandmother stopped. said that they were going to sell all of them, so as not to make the second master and Aunt Cai angry when they saw people in the future. Mama Yuan said point-in-cheek.
In order to facilitate speaking, Xun Qingran took Mama Yuan to a gazebo.
After listening to Mama Yuan's words, Xun Qingran stood up.
Mama Xu took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into Mama Yuan's hand.
"Mama has worked hard, it's cold this day, Mama has a few corners of wine to drink." Xun Qing said.
"I gave birth to the fourth grandmother again, and the slave thanked the fourth grandmother." Mama Yuan grinned.
Xun Qingran came out of the pavilion with people.
The corner door next to it creaked open, and a figure flashed out of it. This corner door opens on the back wall of the pomegranate courtyard, but it is rarely used.
When the figure saw Xun Qingran and the others, he seemed to be startled, and the basket he was carrying fell to the ground.
The daughter-in-law hurriedly squatted down and packed up the scattered things in the basket, and then greeted Xun Qing with a salute.
"This is not the Yan family, what are you doing in a panic?" Mama Yuan didn't go far, and turned around when she heard the voice.
The Yan family said that it was Qi Er's grandmother who told her to do things, and she couldn't delay, so she hurriedly confessed and left.
"This daughter-in-law is really not a troublemaker." Mama Cai walked to where the Yan family was standing, picked up something and showed it to Xun Qing, "This is the best silver frost charcoal, look at her panicked appearance, I don't know which master's share she stole from." The second grandmother is obedient to everyone else, and she is biased towards the people around her. ”
Xun Qingran had already seen that the Yan family's basket had been burned, but it was far from the silver frost charcoal that had been burned through. There are a few people in the Pomegranate Courtyard who can use silver frost charcoal, and this Yan family dares to take food in the tiger's mouth?
Xun Qingran shook his head with a smile, ignored this time, and only took people straight back to Ning Yuanju.
………………
Ning Yuanju, Qi You has not come back yet, Xun Qingran is leaning on the couch, holding a scroll in his hand, looking at it idly. There are two charcoal basins on the inside of the house, which warm the inside of the house. Mama Xu, bellflower, malt, golden bell, and aster were all busy doing needlework under the lamp.
"The fourth master is back." The little girl outside reported.
Mama Xu and the others stood up busily.
"Second brother is drinking stuffy, you must pull me." Qi You came in from outside, took off his coat, washed his hands, and then sat down on the couch and explained to Xun Qingran.
Xun Qingran wrinkled his nose, Qi You just had some alcohol on his body, and he didn't seem to have drunk much.
"No wonder he goes for a drunken drink." Xun Qingran said, "The fourth master wants to drink a decanting soup?" ”
"No, I'm just with my second brother, and I haven't drunk much." Qi You said, his eyes turned to the charcoal basin on the ground, "When I came in, I saw a few baskets of charcoal outside. ”
"Today, the second grandmother also sent someone to send a two-month copy, and the second wife added it." Xun Qing said.
"That's what you're using in this pot?" Qi You turned his face and asked Mama Xu on the side.
