Autumn in the capital is generally sunny, warm as spring during the day, and even hot as summer at noon, but at night it finally reveals the autumn material. []

However, on the evening of August 23, Mrs. Tao took the lead, and the ladies of the Guogong Mansion did not wear cotton or fur, facing the cold night breeze, but they were all sweating.

With the hoarse shouts of Xiao Tao in the delivery room, He Shui Jin lightly raised the handkerchief, carefully wiped the cold sweat for Mrs. Tao again, and comforted softly: "Grandmother, don't worry, the eighth sister-in-law has raised her baby well, and she will be able to give birth to a child smoothly and add a big fat great-grandson to you!" ”

Old Madam Tao smiled reluctantly: "I know ......" Seeing Qiu Yulan twisting her handkerchief not far away, she hurriedly called her over and asked in a low voice, "How is Zheng'er doing over there?" ”

Jiang Qizheng found out that she was pregnant only a few days later than Xiao Tao, and the day when the two gave birth was of course close - now that Xiao Tao was already starting, Jiang Qizheng was not yet born, but it was also soon. She was left at her parents' house since she found out that she was pregnant, and she naturally had to be taken care of, so as not to hug Xiao Tao together, and no one knew what happened to Jiang Qizheng.

"Sixteen sister-in-law is there." Qiu Yulan hurriedly said, "After all, the sixteenth sister-in-law is from here, and with her sitting over there, the eighteenth sister can rest assured." ”

"That's good!" Mrs. Tao's heart is basically hanging on Xiao Tao's body at present, and this question is just to ease her emotions, and to say that she has not forgotten her granddaughter because of the birth of her great-grandson, and then looked at the room with concern, and whispered anxiously, "It's been so long...... Don't run out of energy! ”

This is not loud, but the people who are close to her and Shui Jin and Qiu Yulan have heard it, and the two granddaughters-in-law look at each other, they are a little worried, although they have never given birth, but they have also heard the mothers around them talk about one or two, the current situation of Xiao Tao is indeed not optimistic: a thirty-year-old mother, or the first child, is very dangerous at this time.

Especially her body is not very good, now that she has been tossing for so long, she has weakened when she listens to the wailing, and her strength is obviously about the same - even if the child shows her head next, if the mother can't make it up...... The results are unknown!

Looking at Mrs. Tao's nervous appearance, the two comforted her calmly: "Probably not, Mother Hu is inside...... If there's something wrong, why don't you tell it? Didn't you even ask the Imperial Doctor to wait outside? ”

It's just that their comfort is just comfort in the end—

Xiao Tao struggled until dawn and failed to give birth to a child, looking at Xiaobai outside the window, she grabbed Hu's mother's hand with a dying breath: "I can't do it!" Please go out and tell my grandmother to keep my baby! ”

Mother Hu also knew that if she delayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to keep the size, so she did not refuse, and went out to tell Mrs. Tao what happened: "...... Wen Po also said that if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid the child will suffocate in the womb! ”

Old Madam Tao, who had been guarding for a long time and a night, was frighteningly pale: "Call the imperial doctor to come in!" ”

"Old lady, but I don't know how to let the imperial doctor ...... Big or small? Mother Hu lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

One left and one right supported Mrs. Tao's He Shuijin and Qiu Yulan, and obviously felt the old man's body vibrate, and then choked up: "The child will have it in the future!" Of course, Bao Qianbin! ”

Anyone can hear Mrs. Tao's disobedience: Xiao Tao doesn't like Jiang Yadan, and it is really an unexpected joy to be pregnant this time. At the beginning of the year, the Jiang family defeated the Queen Mother's party, the power rose, and the children became even hotter, the number of people in Jiang Yadan's backyard and outer room sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, how many chances will he have in the wife's room in the future?

And she is in her thirties, and this time it is a difficult birth, which will hurt her body somewhat. When the recuperation is good, it is a question of whether you can get pregnant again.

If this child is lost, Dow Jr. has a good chance of losing it. Nine will never have his own flesh and blood again!

Therefore, Mrs. Tao's words "there will be children in the future" are just for Hu's mother to bring in to comfort her.

This truth can be thought of by people outside, and Xiao Tao also knows it, so when the doctor entered the delivery room, she asked to protect the child: "Don't worry about me, don't care about me!" ”

Mother Hu held back her tears and coaxed her: "I listen to you, are you relaxed and let the imperial doctor treat you?" ”

"If I survive and have no children, I'd rather die!" Xiao Tao was not fooled, and stared at her with clear eyes - such a resolute look made Mother Hu dare not take responsibility at all, so she had to go out again to ask Mrs. Tao for advice.

“…… Then listen to her! Mrs. Tao stood stiff for a long time, tears fell down her cheeks, and people fell softly in the exclamations of their granddaughters-in-law, "What kind of sin did our Tao family women do?!" ”

He Shi came over with red eyes, and asked He Shuijin and Qiu Lulan to help the old lady back to the house to rest: "The next scene...... Don't look at it, y'all! ”

The two accompanied the old lady Tao back to her courtyard, and settled her on the couch, because the old lady did not want to be in front of her, so she went out to wait for instructions.

"How so?" As soon as he arrived outside, the tears that he had been afraid of old lady Zhaotao's sadness and hard endurance came down, and he Shuijin sniffed and muttered, "Although the eighth sister-in-law has given birth a little older this year, the imperial doctor has been watching it before, and she said that it is very good!" ”

Qiu Yulan's heart was in a mess, and he shed tears for a while before he said: "Before the first month of the new year, she was a Gu graceful, and then the newcomers kept ...... No matter how virtuous the eighth sister-in-law is, can she be happy to look at it? ”

She felt that Xiao Tao's dystocia, and eighty percent of the blame lay on Jiang Yadan.

When He Shuijin heard this, he quickly reached out to cover her mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't say this!" I know that you feel sorry for your sister-in-law, and even the starling brother is angry! I don't know...... I thought that the eighth sister-in-law was actually a jealous person, and she tossed herself to this point all her life! ”

Qiu Yulan knew that what she said was true, and her indignation deepened in her heart, and she sighed: "I can't live this day!" ”

“…… Maybe both can be saved? If it were normal, He Shui Jin would definitely tease a few words, "It's just that the eighth sister-in-law is wronged, you and Nineteen are very good", but now she is really not in the mood, so she changed the topic bluntly and said in a low voice, "Maybe both of them are good?" ”

But the two didn't get a good ......

An hour later, Sifang sent a message: "Sun Gongzi has landed, and the imperial doctor has examined it and said it is excellent." It's just the Eighth Young Lady...... The eighth young lady wants to talk to the old lady! ”

It's easy to give birth to a child, it stands to reason that I want to rest, and I have to pull Mrs. Tao to speak, which is of course my last words.

Qiu Yulan couldn't hold back at the moment and cried!

He Shui Jin's persuasion didn't listen to a word, and rushed out of the delivery room with Mrs. Tao, but was stopped by the imperial doctor: "Let the eighth young lady talk to the old lady first!" The implication is that Xiao Tao's tone is only enough to explain the future to Mrs. Tao, and he will not be able to say goodbye to his concubine after he has no effort!

Qiu Yulan didn't know how she got back to her yard - she only knew that when she entered the house, it seemed that Jiang Yashuang was also crying, and asked herself in a dumb voice: "The eighth sister-in-law is gone?" She tried to answer, but it was dark......

When I woke up again, Little Tao's mourning hall had already been built.

The Jiang family held a very grand funeral for their granddaughter-in-law, but although the ceremony was grand, the atmosphere of mourning was very light - because Xiao Tao was only a grandchild, she needed to take into account the elders of the Jiang family who were still alive, and it was impossible for her to make the entire Guogong Mansion like a sea; The most important thing is that the joy of many of the people who come and go cannot be concealed: beautiful daughters, granddaughters, nieces, nieces and nephews in the family...... Maybe it's the next eighth young lady of the Jiang family?

Now that you are married to the Jiang family, you don't even need to worry about the outcome of the battle between the two queens, because the Jiang family has already won!

If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Tao was still there, it is estimated that many people would simply congratulate Xiao Tao on her death at the right time, and the only regret is that she actually left a sister-in-law!

But thinking about Jiang Yadan's backyard, they were optimistic again: "Who knows how long this sister-in-law can live?" His cousins and sisters are not one or two, how many of those aunts are fuel-efficient lamps? ”

Looking at the beautiful girl who was dressed up in a fancy way under the banner of condolence, she pushed forward to Mrs. Tao, and the anger in Qiu Yulan's heart couldn't be suppressed: "Grandmother, is there a happy event in the family?" ”

Old Madam Tao asked tiredly, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"The granddaughter-in-law looked at the guests dressed in red and green one by one, not like those who came to say that they were annoyed, but as if they came to say goodbye." Qiu Yulan's cold gaze swept over the delicate girls in the hall, "This fat powder smell is so smoky that people are going to be confused!" If you say something foolish, don't blame your granddaughter-in-law! ”

This made everyone blame everyone for not getting off the stage, and those girls were even more red-faced, and some of them had a more pampered temper, and they showed their anger when they were ashamed!

But Old Madam Tao squinted and swept over one by one, and both the ladies and ladies hurriedly showed their well-behaved looks.

After all, Empress Jiang has become the Empress Dowager Jiang, as the mother of the Empress Dowager, in Jiang Yadan's marriage, even if Mrs. Tao does not have a right to affirm, there is no problem with a veto! If you want to be the next Eighth Young Lady, you will definitely not be able to bypass her.

"Mother Hu told everyone to disperse, I'm not in the mood to join in the fun now!" Mrs. Tao didn't blame Qiu Yulan, even if it was a symbolic remark, which was equivalent to affirming her statement, coupled with the three words "join in the fun", her attitude made the so-called hangers feel embarrassed.

However, with Mrs. Tao's current status, she didn't care whether they could step down or not, so no one dared to protest, and they all bowed their heads as docile.

Seeing this, the old lady didn't want to scold them, stood up tremblingly, and said lightly, "Nineteen daughter-in-law, come in with me, I have something to discuss with you!" ”

Qiu Yulan stepped forward to help her suspiciously, and entered the inner room together, and saw a small cradle in front of Mrs. Tao's couch - looking at the sleepy and sweet baby in the cradle, and then thinking about the little Tao who is now lying in the coffin and separated from heaven and man, Qiu Yulan's heart was sour, and he quickly turned his head!

"Before he died, Qianbin named him An'er, hoping that he would be safe for the rest of his life." Old Madam Tao also had sour eyes, but she closed her eyes but no tears flowed, she walked to the cradle, stared at the baby and said without raising her head, "As for the daimyo, she said, leave it to you and the nineteen!" ”

"I'm with Nineteen?" Qiu Yulan was hurriedly wiping her face, stunned when she heard the words. Even if you don't want Qin Guogong and Empress Dowager Jiang to give the name, the child's father Jiang Yadan is still alive, how can it be the turn of his own wife to be the uncle and aunt?

"Yes." Old Madam Tao said lightly, "She wants this child to grow up under your knees...... I don't know, are you willing? ”()
