Mrs. Zhou straightened up and looked at the Xianji Courtyard in the northeast.

At this moment, Mrs. Tai suddenly fell ill. Mrs. Xu is very busy in presiding over the feed, Mrs. Wei doesn't even pay attention to Mrs. Xu, naturally no one dares to ask her to treat the illness, and Aunt Shui is soft and weak, and the wind blows down, only me, day and night in front of the bed... Therefore, before dying, Mrs. Tai touched my increasingly bulging belly and told me deeply: If a man's heart is biased, no matter how much you fight, you can't fight! If you think about children, you can't be rash..."

Mrs. Zhou looked back at Gu Xiyan.

"At that time, although I knew that she was admonishing me, I didn't really understand what Mrs. Tai meant."

Gu Xiyan understood.

Although she sent Mrs. Zhou to her son's side with bad intentions, no matter what, looking at this sick maid who grew up by her side since she was a child and tried her best to treat her at the last moment, she felt a little bit of pity in her heart, and reminded her, hoping that she would be safe and smooth in the future!

"After Mrs. Tai died, I lived a miserable life, and stayed in the banyan garden every day to do some needlework. At that time, although there were three aunts living in Gongshun Courtyard, Mrs. Wei was born in a high family, and she has always been arrogant, even Mrs. Xu did not pay attention to it, and entered the door earlier than me, I was in front of her, there was always a little uncomfortable, so I and Aunt Shui, who was also a maidservant, gradually became close, sometimes, she would come to the Banyan Garden to sit, and I would also go to Huaiyuan to visit the door.

One night. I stayed late in Huaiyuan, and through the glass window, I saw Grandpa Guo suddenly coming. I was a little panicked, so I pulled Aunt Shui to ask for peace, but Aunt Shui said to me with a wry smile, Ye is going to see Mrs. Wei's land. Let's not go, otherwise, Mrs. Wei will be unhappy, and the master will take down the people again... I was stunned at the time, and said, isn't Mrs. Wei almost eight months old? Aunt Shui said with a red face. Ye didn't care about this, and when he was five months old, he began to rest in Mrs. Wei's house.

I was surprised, but also sad, and couldn't help but say a few words of complaint to Aunt Shui.

By the next day, I regretted that I had acted too frivolously. You shouldn't say those things in front of Aunt Shui, who is also an aunt. Who knows when these words will become evidence of my jealousy. Aunt Shui didn't seem to know what was going on, not only did she talk and laugh with me disapprovingly, but she also became closer to me, and if she had anything to say, she bluntly said it to me. That's how I found out. It turned out that Ye had only stayed in her house for one night.

It was as if the two of us had suddenly found a soulmate. There's an endless list of things to say.

Not long after, Mrs. Wei's delivery date was approaching, and Aunt Gao lived in Huaiyuan, and in order to make room for Aunt Gao, Aunt Shui came to live with me.

I, like Aunt Shui, are still two months before we were born, and we talked about having a son and a daughter, although everyone didn't say anything, but they all looked forward to having a child. It's good for Mrs. Wei to give birth to a daughter.

It's really the day when Mrs. Wei gives birth. Aunt Shui and I were suddenly called.

At that time, the Huaiyuan Garden was deserted. It was all the people that Aunt Wei brought from her mother's house, and Grandpa Guo stood in the middle of the room with a gloomy face, and when he saw us entering, he didn't look at us, so he nodded to Aunt Di Gao next to him.

Aunt Gao led Aunt Shui to the side of the room, and after a while, Aunt Shui came out and called me in again.

After I went in, Aunt Gao asked me to lie down on the Hu bed on the side, and touched my belly, she did not touch it gently as usual, but squeezed it vigorously, I was a little scared in my heart, so I called Aunt Gao, Aunt Gao turned around, smiled quietly and comforted me, saying, don't worry, Mrs. Tai told me before leaving, it's okay. For some reason, when I heard this, I became even more scared. I shivered and got dressed, and walked out with Aunt Gao, and saw Aunt Shui standing by pretending to be calm.

Aunt Gao said a few words in Grandpa Guo's ear, Grandpa Guo nodded, and Aunt Gao asked someone to help Aunt Shui to the side of the floor heating pavilion, and asked me to go back to the Banyan Garden first.

When I returned to the Banyan Garden, the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I sent the girl around me to inquire about it, but the girl came back and said that Grandpa Guo had confessed that no one was allowed to approach Huaiyuan, otherwise, it would be killed. I was restless in the Banyan Garden, but Mama Yi, who was next to Mrs. Xu, suddenly came to see me and asked me if Mrs. Wei was about to give birth.

I don't know why, but I had an idea and said, "Why didn't I hear anything!"

Mama Yi stared at me for a long time before leaving.

Early the next morning, I heard that Mrs. Wei and Aunt Shui each gave birth to a son, Mrs. Wei's son was born first, and the elder brother, and Aunt Shui's son was born later, and was the younger brother.

I was there at the time.

Aunt Shui and I are both two months away from giving birth... I thought about what Aunt Gao said that day, and suddenly I understood.

It turned out that Aunt Shui and I were pregnant just to ensure that Mrs. Wei could give birth to a son. ”

Looking at Mrs. Zhou's sad smile, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but shudder.

"From that day on, I have offered incense in front of the great god every day, hoping that he will bless me to give birth to a daughter. Unexpectedly, I still gave birth to a son. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou smiled brightly at Gu Xiyan.

"As she snuggled up in my arms and sucked my milk vigorously, I suddenly understood what Mrs. Tai had said. No matter what the truth is, no matter what Grandpa Guo's original purpose is, for the sake of the children, I have to live strongly!

Since then, for the sake of reproduction, I am willing to live humbled on my knees, and dare not make any more noise. I watched Aunt Shui move to Guiyuan, watched Grandpa Guo open a corner door between Gongshun Courtyard and Songzhen Courtyard in her name, watched her brocade clothes and fine food, groups of servants, and watched her and Mrs. Xu come and go frequently... But she didn't even have the courage to open her mouth to remind her... Until one day. Qi Han suddenly said to others that he was the eldest son... I knew that something was going to happen, but what I didn't expect was that Grandpa Guo's heart would be so ruthless..."

Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Gu Xiyan wanted to speak and stopped.

Mrs. Zhou. I'm afraid I thought of what happened in Huaiyuan back then!

Mrs. Zhou slowly opened her eyes, soaked with tears and looking dark and moist, her eyes were full of sadness.

"It was the first time that Mao Sheng came back to Mu Xiu after going to the Northwest Camp, and Grandpa Guo asked me to take Fan Sheng to Huaiyuan for a small gathering, I didn't dare to be slack, so I helped Fan Sheng change a dress and hurried over. When Grandpa Guo saw us, he didn't see any joy. Frowning all the time, I stood aside cautiously and didn't dare to squeak, and then Aunt Shui brought Qi Han here, and I was about to step forward to greet Aunt Shui, but Grandpa Guo suddenly said to me, in this house, your craftsmanship is okay. Let's make some dumplings for the kids!

In those years, Grandpa Guo liked to take Qi Han with him wherever he went, and he developed a somewhat domineering temperament, I was afraid that this child would find trouble with the child, and I was worried that the two children would fight. If you want Fansheng to stay by Maosheng's side, it's really a fight. With Maosheng's skills, he will not suffer too much loss. I asked: Why didn't I see Maosheng.

As soon as Grandpa Guo heard this, he got angry and asked you to make a few rice balls, you are chattering here, what to say!

When I saw that this posture was wrong, I smiled and pulled Fansheng to the small kitchen.

When I arrived at the small kitchen, I realized that Mao Sheng was gone.

Fansheng clamored to find Maosheng.

I have to cook, and I'm afraid that the soup will be scalding. Let the maidservant girl next to him take him to find Maosheng.

Wait until I'm done making the dumplings. When he went to the ear room on the side to wash his face and hands, Fansheng suddenly ran in. He threw himself into my arms and cried.

I was startled, and while wiping his eyes, I asked him, what happened, why are you so sad, did you fight with the third brother.

Fansheng sobbed and said, I went to look for my second brother, but I didn't find it, and I saw my father feeding Qi Han to eat rice balls... Auntie, why doesn't Daddy like me!

I was stunned, my heart was sour, and I forcibly comforted Fansheng, saying, Daddy is not the same as Maosheng...

Who knew that when Fansheng heard this, he cried even more sadly, saying, last summer, my father asked my second brother to write, but my second brother didn't write, and my father took a feather duster to beat my second brother, but the second brother grabbed the feather duster in my father's hand and broke it in half, and ran away, and my father just shook his head and sighed. I don't write, and when I learned to run with my second brother, my father grabbed me back and beat me hard... Auntie, why is he also a son, my father is not as good to me as he is to my second brother, nor is he as loving as I am to my third brother...

I muttered, couldn't say a word, hugged the multitude and cried... At this moment, Bao Niang, who was next to Mrs. Wei, suddenly came to call me and said that Qi Han had eaten the rice balls I made and suddenly fainted.

My eyes were dark, but my heart was like a mirror, holding the multitude, and kept saying, it's not me, it's not me...

Bao Niang looked at me with a sympathetic gaze.

In the flint lightning, I suddenly came to my senses, knelt in front of Bao Niang, and said, as long as Mrs. Wei is willing to let Fansheng follow Maosheng's side, I am willing to do anything. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou lowered her head and let out a long sigh.

"You know what happened next.

Mrs. Wei kept her promise and let Fansheng follow Maosheng to the northwest camp, and I was imprisoned in Rongyuan until the death of Grandpa Guo, and was released by Maosheng, and later let Fansheng open a mansion outside, and fight for me to come back with a court seal..."

But all this is what a woman bought with her youth!

Gu Xiyan only felt stuffy in his chest, and his mood was very heavy.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "After listening to this, you must think it's very boring!" ”

Gu Xiyan didn't know what to say to comfort Mrs. Zhou, and it seemed that what she said couldn't make Mrs. Zhou feel relieved.

She said vaguely: "These things have passed, and in the future, you can also enjoy the blessings with the third uncle." ”

Mrs. Zhou looked at Gu Xiyan fixedly, and said with a smile: "I am an aunt born as a maidservant, and I can have today, I myself think that from now on, I can enjoy Qingfu... However, when Hanguan enters the mansion, can I still live in peace there? ”

The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth twitched slightly, and after a while, he said weakly: "We don't have any other meaning, we just want to borrow the joy of Hanguan..."

Mrs. Zhou smiled slightly: "In that case, in a few days, I will send someone to take Hanguan back!" ”
