Chapter 341: Hospitality (Part II)
This is the Xu family's business, Mother Shi is not good at discussing, just smiled and helped the fifth lady to disperse her hair.
The fifth lady played with a comb in her hand: "First help Brother Yu talk about a family affair that looks very good, and then encourage Brother Yu to participate in the imperial examination." The child's family, seeing that his future is bright, and his mind is hot, he will naturally respond to everything. As soon as he leaves, he will finalize the marriage with the Jiang family, and ask for the title of Brother Chen's son. When the time comes, Brother Yu's teachers, classmates, and friends are all close to the Jiang family, and it's good that he doesn't want to move the title, and the Jiang family is naturally the biggest help, but if he moves this thought, I'm afraid that the first one who won't let him go is the Jiang family. If he is resentful because of this, but he promised it himself, if he wants to complain, who will complain? Our fourth brother can play a good calculation! ”
Speaking of this, she thought of the Xiang family's refusal to marry, and smiled silently.
At this moment, Xu Lingyi is sitting on the big kang facing the window of the water pavilion.
The breeze with the coolness of Biyi Lake blew in through the window lattices covered with fine kudzu, which refreshed him.
“…… The child looks very good. Eleven Niang chattered while making the bed, "The temperament is also lively." Mrs. Jiang looks like a virtuous and virtuous person. I think this family business is really good. As he spoke, he straightened up and asked Xu Lingyi with a smile, "Did Master Hou read the book first?" Or is this the end of the day? ”
Xu Lingyi didn't answer, looked at her and smiled. There is a moon-like clarity between the eyebrows and eyes.
"Come, come to me!" He beckoned to Eleven Niang, his voice low but mellow.
It seems to be in a good mood!
Is it because Brother Zhen's marriage is going well?
Eleven Niang thought about it and sat down beside Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi hugged her in his arms: "Sit with me for a while!" Pressed his face to her sideburns.
The night was cold, but his breath was warm.
Eleven Niang hugged Xu Lingyi's waist and snuggled quietly in his arms.
The moonlight spilled in little by little, and the occasional "crackling" of candles bursting in the room made the atmosphere more quiet.
"It's sixteen, isn't it?" Xu Lingyi raised her head and gently stroked her cheek with her hand.
The moonlight shone on his broad back, and his bright eyes shone like jewels.
"Hmm!" Eleven Niang nodded, not knowing what Xu Lingyi meant by asking.
Xu Lingyi's expression paused, and he said after a while: "Brother Zhen has a deficiency disease. The chief of Changchun also said that he had 'three disasters'. Your sister and I are afraid that he will have a shallow life and will not be able to bear many blessings. His voice was soothing and contemplative, "I have discussed waiting until he is over the age of twelve to ask for the title of prince......
If the Xu and Jiang families want to get married, and Brother Zhen has the position of the son of the world, the meaning is different.
She sat up straight slowly: "What does Master Hou mean, you want to establish a prince in advance?" ”
Xu Lingyi didn't answer directly, but was silent for a while before saying, "What do you think?" ”
"If that's the case, it's always the best." Eleven Niang groaned, "Knowing your position, you know what you should do!" ”
Xu Lingyi nodded slightly and took her hand: "Don't worry too much about the future." I know it. It will be arranged! ”
Eleven Niang's mind turned around before she realized that what he meant by "the future" was if they had a son......
She couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of the frequent sexual affairs after the ceremony.
They didn't take any precautions.
If in case......
Eleven Niang was suddenly very conflicted.
Of course it's good to have a baby. I have a companion too. But with the real child, the situation is only going to get more complicated in the current situation.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help pursing her lips and said softly: "Master Hou, since this is the case, you might as well enter the palace as soon as possible to ask for an order!" When we say goodbye to the Jiang family, we will be more decent. ”
In this way, even if he gives birth to a son, the position of the son of the world has been decided, and there will be fewer conflicts!
Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound, clenched her fists, and wrapped her hand tightly in her palm.
I thought very clearly in my heart, but as soon as the thought turned to the possibility of pregnancy, Eleven Niang felt panicked in her heart.
She was restless for two days, and Mrs. Gan came.
"There is a doctor surnamed Han who lives in Jinger Hutong in the west of the city." She and Shi Niang sat side by side on the kang and whispered, "It was introduced by my sister-in-law." Very famous. It is said that the daughter-in-law of the Kim family of Hanlin Temple also went to the doctor, and last year she gave birth to a big fat boy. ”
For this matter, Mrs. Gan actually went on a trip herself.
Shi Niang was very grateful: "Seventh Sister went to the temple with her brother-in-law today, and I will tell them when they return." ”
Mrs. Gan asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?" Where do I know it? ”
Mrs. Gan presided over the middle feed in the house, and it was not easy to come out.
Eleven Niang hurriedly said: "If they can't find a place, let's ask Sister Gan to accompany them!" ”
Mrs. Gan listened and stopped.
Eleven Niang hurriedly said: "My sister treats me as a sister, what else can't I say!" ”
Mrs. Gan thought for a moment before whispering, "Do you want to go and have a look?" ”
Eleven Niang's face turned red when she heard this.
Mrs. Gan hurriedly said, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that last time I heard that you had been using medicine...... If you see a few more doctors, you will have a greater grasp. ”
These are heart-to-heart words.
Eleven Niang organized the language for a while before she said softly: "I haven't been treated well." I am afraid that I will not be able to save my child when I am young, and I will lose my life together with adults and children, and I am afraid that I will delay the time of medical consultation, and I will not want to give birth when the time comes...... It's been a few days since I was in my heart! ”
This is also a heart-wrenching word.
"Don't put the cart before the horse." Mrs. Gan was very sincere, "As you said yourself, if you don't take care of your body now, you won't want it anymore." You take care of your body first. A woman giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, this is not something you can calculate...... What's more, if you don't want to give birth, it's not a matter of no choice. ”
Eleven Niang was excited.
Since getting married, these are all based on some previous hearsay, and I am not sure whether I have done it completely right. I often feel trembling, and I think it would be nice to have someone with experience to guide me. But you can't tell others what you really want...... Unexpectedly, there was such an opportunity suddenly today.
"Sister Gan......" she pursed her lips, and there was a flash of water in the corners of her eyes.
It suddenly occurred to Madame Gan that she was at this age...... With tears in her eyes, but a smile on the corner of her mouth, she patted Shi Niang's hand and leaned into Shi Niang's ear: "I'll tell you ......"
The two whispered for an afternoon before Ganfu went home.
Eleven Niang accompanied Qi Niang to Jinger Hutong to seek medical treatment.
Xu Lingyi was busy with Brother Chen's affairs.
He first discussed with Mrs. Tai, and then went to Jiang's house, and told Lord Jiang that he wanted to fight for Brother Zhen to invite Feng Shizi before the two families officially made up their minds. Such a dignity, Lord Jiang is naturally happy to see. Not only did he agree immediately, but he also offered to be on the side of the Ministry of Rites and let him dredge it.
Xu Lingyi is also very familiar with the people in the Ministry of Rites, but considering that he still has to go to the palace to grind, if Lord Jiang can help him follow the path of the Ministry of Rites, he will not have to run at both ends. Xu Lingyi immediately agreed. When I went back, I wrote a recital to the emperor and the Ministry of Rites. Early the next morning, he sent Steward Zhao to the Zongren Mansion to hand over a sign and ask to see the emperor.
In this way, everyone in the house knows that Brother Zhen is going to be officially established as the prince.
The little maid next to Tao's mother was waiting in the kitchen for the food box - since Tao's mother was sent to guard Yuanniang's yard, everyone knows that Tao's mother has fallen out of favor, although she is afraid of accumulating power and does not dare to do anything in front of Tao's mother, but the little maid around Tao's mother has gradually become unpretentious.
Obviously she ordered it, but the mother on the stove put the stewed minced meat and eggs in another little girl's food box with a smile, and repeatedly told the little girl: "Be careful, don't fall!" Tell me what you want to eat. ”
She knew that this little maid was serving Amber, the eldest maid beside the fourth lady.
Seeing this scene, she ran back to Tao's mother.
Mother Tao was wearing a dark summer cloth shirt, her hair was neatly curled behind her head, and her black hair sideburns had been mixed with a few silver whites. She was sitting solemnly on the big kang near the window and copying the Heart Sutra.
Seeing the little maid running in, Tao's mother looked slightly gloomy.
The maid has served her since she was a child, and she doesn't know her intentions, but at this moment there are more important things than Tao's mother's anger, and Tao's mother will be very happy to hear it. She couldn't care about it, and laughed and said: "Mother Tao, Mother Tao, Master Hou is going to make the fourth young master the son!" ”
Mother Tao listened to it but her expression was solemn: "Who are you listening to nonsense?" ”
"It's not nonsense." The little maid hurriedly said, "It's spread all over the house." If you don't believe me, go outside and ask! ”
Mother Tao's brows tightened.
"Didn't you tell my aunt and grandmother that I would ask for a decree when I was twelve years old?" She said authentically, "As long as you don't seal the son for a day, Eleven Niang will misunderstand that the Hou Ye is not satisfied with Brother Zhen'er, and there is a trace of thought in her heart, and she will wait until she gives birth to a son before making plans." Now Hou Ye suddenly changed his mind...... "She thought of the grandeur and grandeur of the eleventh mother and the ceremony, and her heart trembled, "Could it be that this is the idea of the eleventh mother?" What's in it for her? ”
She couldn't help but think bitterly.
The little maid didn't have so many thoughts about Tao's mother. She said happily: "Mom, if the fourth young master is the son of the world, will he be able to live in a courtyard alone?" When the time comes, will we be able to serve by the side of the Fourth Young Master? ”
Mother Tao was stunned when she heard this.
Oh, yes! According to the rules, if you have a son, you must live in a single courtyard. How did you forget about it?
In the past, she was still a little sure that she would be able to follow Brother Zhen when he was separated. Can ...... now If Eleven Niang wants to replace all the people who serve in the courtyard with her own people, it will be a lot of effort.
Mother Tao was in a hurry.
What was my aunt and grandmother worried about?
It's when Brother Zhen won't live to be crowned the son of the world.
Mother Tao thought about it, couldn't help sneering, and ordered the little maid: "Go, see where the fourth lady is?" ”
She wants to take leave to go to the Bowstring Hutong to see the eldest lady, and then take this opportunity to talk about it with Luo Zhenxing, the uncle of the Luo family.
The little maid listened but didn't move her feet, and straightened: "The fourth lady accompanied the seventh aunt to go out to see the doctor!" ”
Tao's mother was stunned: "I said how to do it, Hou Ye suddenly made Brother Zhen the son of the world, it turned out that she was thinking about giving birth to a son." Did her mind move too soon? ”
