242. Dystocia
Su Su woke up in the middle of the night, and then he kept breaking out in a cold sweat, but the child couldn't get out. Fortunately, her mother and mother-in-law were there, and there were several experienced mothers and confinement sisters-in-law, so there was not much danger for the time being.
As soon as Shuning and Tongying received the letter, they hurried to the Baltu Mansion, Tongying stayed outside to appease Baltu, Shuning rushed into the inner courtyard, and unexpectedly found that the Li family, the Hitara clan, Zhenzhen and Fang Ning had all arrived.
Zhou Chang's family rushed into the delivery room to help Shu Ning without waiting for Shu Ning's instructions, and Shu Ning asked her aunt, lobby sister and sister-in-law about the latest situation, and waited nervously for news there.
Baltu fidgeted as he walked around the hall. Tongying persuaded: "It's okay, your daughter-in-law is not the first time she has been born, and there are so many people to take care of her, nothing will happen." Baltu hurriedly said: "Of course I'm in a hurry, it's my daughter-in-law!" My son! ”
His concubine came over with a bowl of porridge to persuade him to eat something, but he waved it to the ground and scolded: "Get out!" Didn't you see that Ye Zheng was annoying?! The little concubine's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly packed up the pieces and retreated. Baltu gasped and sat down in a chair when he suddenly heard a shout from the backyard and rushed to the backyard, where he was stopped by his mother and kept asking, "What's wrong?"
The servant in the front yard reported that the imperial doctor was coming, and Baltu immediately rushed to the front yard and dragged the white-bearded old man back half-lifted and half-mopped, and Tongying cried and laughed and said, "Look what you scared the imperial doctor into?" Don't treat the patient before the doctor becomes the patient. Baltu had already rolled his eyes. Hurriedly let go and hurriedly helped him into the hospital.
But in this kind of emergency, his family was very polite and cried, and the noise made the whole backyard unpeaceful. Fang Ning thought that Heng Zhi couldn't help much, so he took the initiative to coax the child, and Shuning and Xitara also went over to help, but they also paid attention to the movements in the delivery room from time to time.
In the evening, Su Su finally gave birth to a son. People are exhausted. Baltu hugged his son and smiled from ear to ear, and his mother even more so that even if she wanted to hold her grandson and go to kneel at Prince Kang's tablet, the grandmothers stopped her and said that the child was a little thin and weak, and she was afraid that she would not succeed because of the wind.
The doctor consulted and asked the grandmothers to investigate, and confirmed that Su Su was only exhausted and fell asleep, and everyone settled down. He has recruited his sister-in-law for a few months. And he lifted his feet and went into the house to take care of his daughter. The old side Fujin also carried his grandson into the side room that had been cleaned up.
Shu Ning looked left and right, called the housekeeper and told him to prepare some meals, especially to prepare nutritious and easy-to-digest supplements for the flocculents, and Zhenzhen and Li made many suggestions on the side. Fang Ning coaxed Binbin and came over.
In the evening, around the first watch, Shuning and Tongying returned to their home, so tired that they sat on the Luohan bed and didn't want to move, and looked at each other. I can't help but be a little funny.
Shuning saw Baltu's anxious appearance today. Something has changed about him. glanced at Tongying, I don't know if he will be so anxious that he will lose his mind when he gives birth? But come to think of it. She was a little embarrassed.
Tong Ying didn't know what his wife was thinking, but sighed: "Today is really frightened, I was just accompanying Baltu to the backyard, but I didn't expect to see that basin of blood and water, and my feet were a little soft." After that, he turned his head to look at his wife, hugged him, and muttered, "You will be safe in the future." Shu Ning's heart was sweet and quietly lay in his arms.
The congratulatory gifts and the medicinal materials given to the body were sent over the next day, and Shuning also presented a confinement soup recipe, all of which were passed down by Ah Yin and verified by Mrs. Chen.
Baltu is still in filial piety, this matter is not Dahe, even Xisan is only a few close female relatives left, Shuning and several daughters-in-law of the baron's mansion have gone. ://However, Prince Kang's mansion got a letter, but he sent a lot of good things over, and even Lao Ji Fujin also specially sent a jade Guanyin, saying that it was the prince of the world to keep a peace, and Fujin was gone.
Shu Ning and Tong Ying only enjoyed one day of vacation and didn't go anywhere. After Tongying returned to the yamen on an errand, Shuning began to take care of housework again.
After Prince Jian's letter arrived in Beijing, Azaran finally stopped, and Guo Fujin deliberately sent the maid over to control his son's behavior, and also conveyed his own meaning: Impossible things, don't think about it, you can take Fuyu as a concubine, but the wife must be from a wealthy family.
Azaran reluctantly agreed, and the eldest brother and Ilgen Jueluo proposed that Naguarjia Fuyu be a concubine, but when the people from the palace came to propose, they learned that the girl had already promised someone. The other party is the eldest son of a famous Fucha family, although he has no official or title, he is hired as a wife, and even the day of Xiaoding has been set.
This person is none other than Malone. He has always insisted on marrying a stunning woman, and his parents can't screw him if he refuses to give in. He learned that there was such a girl in the show girl this year, who was beautiful and also a big family, although her father's official position was lower, but his temperament was kind, and by the way, he took a look at the girl and immediately fell in love with it, and asked his parents to propose marriage. Although his uncle Ma Qi and the prince's side did not get along, the other party was not a direct branch after all, and the girl's father put some effort into it, and the marriage was completed.
Azalan was left empty, and he was quite lost for a while, and even the two beautiful maids sent by Ilgen Jue Luo felt that he was not interested. It just so happened that a girl in his house was found to be pregnant, so Yaerjianga took the lead and set up two tables of wine, which was regarded as giving the girl a name, and by the way, comforting his younger brother. Unexpectedly, when Azaran went out again, he realized that what he had done before was regarded as a laughing stock by his "friends", and he was also beaten by a group of princes and children of the clan of Brother Jiu, and he was a little afraid in his heart, so he hid in a village in the palace in Wanping under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries in the summer, and threw the pregnant concubine to Ilgen Jueluo. However, his departure made the brothers and sisters-in-law breathe a sigh of relief.
With the twists and turns of Chen Liangben, the controversy in the DPRK and China became bigger and bigger. Many princes and ministers who had interests in the canal were involved, and the situation was faintly out of control. The emperor saw that something was wrong and immediately shouted to stop. Chen Liangben took the opportunity to say again, although the previous proposal was for the country and the people, but the difficulty of Cao Yun is not a matter of one or two days, and it is difficult to get rid of the old disease for a while, so it is better to suggest that Cao Yun not be canceled first. However, the trial of switching some of the grain to sea transportation can also see the results.
When the emperor saw this, he stared at Chen Liangben for a few moments, and was noncommittal, summoned him into the palace after retreating, and asked him why he hadn't suggested it before. Chen Liangben replied that a stone startled a thousand feet of waves and did not drop stones. And how do you know how deep the water is here? I don't know how deep the water is and how to cross the river by feeling the stones?
The emperor was silent, summoned a few ministers to ask them about it, and issued an edict three days later. This year, seventy percent of the autumn grain in the south of the Yangtze River is still used to transport three percent to sea transportation, and it is temporarily tried to see the after-effect.
After experiencing the stimulation of Chen Liangben before. On the contrary, such an outcome has become acceptable. Prince Jane's Mansion has nothing to do with Cao Yun. But there are some industries in terms of maritime transportation. It's a profiteer. However, many princely palaces suffered as a result.
Shuning got it from her mother's side, and the stacking house in Xintong Prefecture was not greatly affected, but the Tong family got the news in Baoding. I also wrote back to ask my daughter-in-law to stop the expansion plan, temporarily guard the two shops, and save the extra money first, and slowly pay attention to the fertile land around the capital, and if there is a suitable place to buy it, it is safe.
The days returned to peace, and soon after Mingrui's birthday, the seventh elder brother opened a mansion and invited many relatives and friends to celebrate. Shuning also went with Tongying to meet Wei Guan, who had not been seen for a long time.
She is still faint, but it is slightly less cold than before, no longer ice and snow, but cold well water, and she can also talk to others about parenting scriptures, but she listens more and talks less. When Shuning visited her again after the feast, she saw her reciting poems to her month-old son, and the child was stunned and very well-behaved.
Shuning and Wei Wan are not close, so when asked about the current situation, they only roughly knew that she had recovered well after giving birth, and the child was also very healthy, and the seventh elder brother was very fond of this eldest son. However, during her visit, she noticed that although Wei Wan handed over the power of the housekeeper to the chief steward and only made decisions on major matters, he had a stable position in the mansion. The seventh elder brother didn't go out on errands, and from time to time he would send someone to greet Wei Guan, and let people take his son to see him, and he could see that he respected his wife very much. And the legendary very favored side chamber Nara clan and another concubine surnamed Li came to greet Wei Wan with a respectful attitude, and seemed to be a gentle and honest person.
It seems that Wei Guan's life is very leisurely, in addition to entering the palace every few days to ask for peace, he is reading, painting, playing the piano, playing chess, coaxing children to read poetry and books to him. Shuning yearns for this kind of life very much, and feels that it is the same as what she has lived in the three years of filial piety, but she also understands in her heart that this is because the seventh elder brother is not interested in the struggle for fame and fortune and rarely gets involved in court politics, and Wei Wan already has an eldest son, and he is not interested in competing for favor.
Thinking back to himself, Tong Ying is on the rise in his career, and from the fact that he receives several rewards every ten days and a half from his family, he is more and more valued in front of the emperor, and he wants to live a quiet life, I am afraid it is impossible. Therefore, envy is just envy.
Wufu Jin Yuanning finally returned to the Hengjun Mansion after sitting in confinement. In order to celebrate the fifth full moon of the eldest daughter, the elder brother held a banquet and invited all the brothers and the leading figures in the clan and the ministers of the court. He pulled several rooms from his family and everyone went, but Shuning didn't sit with his sisters-in-law because he was in the clan.
Yuanning is said to have been unable to attend because of postpartum weakness and has not recovered. Shuning wanted to visit, but Suo Xuanluo and his daughter-in-law Wan Liuha came forward to see on behalf of her mother's family, saying that it was okay and that she just needed to rest more, and then returned to the table with her granddaughter in her arms and talked happily with those Fujin ladies.
However, because of Yuan Ningdi's absence, the royal and clan ladies said many auspicious words on the surface, but they exchanged gossip with each other in private.
Some people say that Wufujin is because the fifth elder brother received the side Fujin when she was about to give birth, and it was difficult to give birth when she was excited; Some people say that Wufujin originally looked virtuous and took the initiative to be a newcomer to Wuagona, who knew that the holy decree came down and couldn't stand it; Some people say that the fifth elder brother has a deep love for the new Fujin and is eager to marry back immediately, but unfortunately in order to take care of his wife, the lovers are not allowed to get together for the time being, and now the fifth elder brother is trying his best to tie up his wife, so that she will not give the newcomer face in the future; Some people say that Wufujin only gave birth to a daughter. If her mother's family doesn't earn her face, she will be sad in the future; Some people say that Xinfujin is good-looking, and will be likable, and will definitely be good at special rooms in the future; Some people also say that Xin Fujin has a flamboyant temperament, is dignified and demure, and the fifth elder brother likes her, but it is just empathy......
When they said this, they naturally couldn't help but think of the fourth elder brother's mansion. Guessing whether the new Fujin is similar to that one as the legend goes. Da Fu Jin and Sanfu Jin asked Si Fu Jin about it, and other female relatives were also on the side, but Si Fu Jin Yumin smiled and was forced to be anxious, and then opened the topic with two sentences.
Shuning watched Yumin cope with the next table and was deeply admired, but unfortunately she was not so lucky. Three sisters in the family were not present. The rest of her became the object of other people's attention. At first, she just learned from Yumin to do Tai Chi, but some people said that the words were a little excessive, not only insulting Yuan Ning and Wan Ning. He even talked about him and gossiped about his family. Shu Ning's face changed when she heard this, but she was worried about the ground of the master's house, and she was worried that it would be more difficult for Yuan Ning to do it, so she barely endured it, but she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. I can't wait for the feast to end soon.
But Suo Yuluo's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only cared about stuttering. As if they hadn't heard. also followed Wan Ning's gossip, and he was also very disdainful of Guerjia's Runyu, who had never met. Shuning saw it. I wish I had never known them. Yumin glanced at them coldly, and said another piece of gossip with a smile. Just at this time, it was reported that the crown princess was coming, which diverted everyone's attention, and at the same time saved the fifth elder brother, who was at a loss, and the Liu family.
After attending the banquet, Shuning sat alone on the carriage home, and the anger in her heart surged up one after another. Most of the ladies who sat with her before were all familiar with each other, and they never lacked gifts during the New Year's holidays, and they have always been kind and courteous. No matter who their titles are higher or lower than herself, she is very polite. Why did they just let others coax themselves into such an embarrassing situation?
She is not Yumin, she is not so good at Tai Chi kung fu, and she is the daughter of his Tala family, so it is impossible to ignore it; She is not so thick-skinned as Suo Xue Luo and Wan Liuha, knowing that others are mocking her, she still grins and stammers; It is even more impossible for her to follow the example of other female dependents, knowing that others are gossiping about her own sisters, and still laughing along with the same thing.
But who did she recruit and provoke whom?!
The more Shuning thought about it, the more popular Tong Ying who was riding a horse outside Dalian also felt that something was wrong, and usually his wife would ride with him in a carriage, why didn't she respond when she called her twice just now? So he asked again. Shu Ning heard it this time, but she didn't know where to start, she only said that it was okay, and Tongying was even more confused.
Back at home, Tong Ying pulled her into the room and asked carefully, Shuning was asked several times, and finally couldn't help but say: "Why do they say that?" Why?! Yuan Ning finally survived until today, and in order to have a child, she has not recovered yet. The fifth elder brother loves to take the concubine, why do others gossip about Yuan Ning? ! What happened to having a daughter? Isn't my daughter human?! The daughter is also the flesh and blood of the fifth elder brother. Wan Ning has been in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion for almost three years, why do you still pull her out and say it?! Don't those people think it's rude?! Go to someone else's house for a banquet and gossip about the hostess?! ”
She suddenly felt very sad and cried: "I try so hard to get along with them, why can't they understand my situation? It's very uncomfortable to watch the second aunt and them smear the family......"
Tong Ying probably guessed what the situation was, sighed, hugged her into her arms, and whispered comfort: "They are bored all day long, so they have to ask for some gossip and chat for entertainment." They think you're just like them, so don't pay attention to them in the future. After a pause, he said, "If you have already separated from the family, don't care." ”
Shuning hugged him tightly, cried a cry, tired of crying before falling asleep, but the next day after waking up, there was still a faint fire burning in his heart, since then he has looked down on the original intention of going out to socialize, in addition to the most frequent visits on weekdays, several princes' mansions also send some gifts according to the season, basically less to interact with other mansions, even going out as a guest, only to her mother's house, Susu's house, Xinran's house in her spare time, Fang Ning's side picks her husband and mother-in-law when she is not at home, so as not to accept their etiquette, the scene is embarrassing.
It's just that when I went up to the Hengjun Palace, I was told that Wufujin went to Zhuangzi to recuperate. Shu Ning looked at the red lanterns and red silk hanging at the gate, and the servants who kept coming in and out of the side door to transport the materials of the Zaxi shed, and bit her lip and turned away.
In July, Shuning spent most of her time in her own house, just listening to the rumors outside.
Wu Dan was reappointed as the general of Hangzhou, Chongli was sent to Sichuan to serve as the Sipindu Division of the Hualin Battalion. They left in a few days.
The fifth elder brother married Guerjia Runyu back to the house, and I heard that the Hengjun Wangfu held a banquet that day, which was much more lively than the full moon banquet of the eldest daughter before, and invited the best troupe. Wufu Jin Yuanning was still on Zhuangzi and did not come back to participate, but her mother's father and brother both went. Shuning was even more angry when she heard the news, even though she received the post, she didn't go to participate under the pretext of illness, only Tongying hurriedly toasted a few glasses of wine, and quickly left because of business.
In late July, the emperor was sent by the Empress Dowager on his eastern tour of the road. Tongying left the house again. The couple said goodbye again.
This time it was a little different that Yarjana also led his subordinate troops to escort him. Because the Guerjia clan was about to give birth, he entrusted all the affairs of the palace and his wife to the always trusted Ilgen Jue Luo clan, and just said casually to Shuning, asking his younger siblings to take more care of him, and he went out full of ambition.
Shuning was not interested in paying attention to the affairs in the palace, thinking that Ilgen felt that the Luo clan had always handled things properly, and there should be no mistakes, so he just took care of his own housework. However, in Zongxue, there is a need to take the book, so as soon as I learn, I will come over to do my homework so that I can ask Mr. Shi for advice.
One day, Shuning was embroidering an orchid, and there was a sudden commotion outside, and she called someone to ask, only to find out that it was someone from King Jian's mansion. The man was wearing half-worn clothes, obviously not doing fine work, and the servant knelt down and kowtowed when he saw Shuning, and said: "The second lady, the younger one is the Sizhu girl sent by the prince Fujin, who accidentally fell in the morning, and now the situation is not good, Sizhu girl, please go and take a look." ”
Shuning frowned: "Why don't you invite a doctor?" "I asked for it early in the morning, but the doctor hasn't arrived yet. There are two grandmothers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are having stomach troubles, and they really don't have the strength to do things. ”
Shuning thought about it and felt that something seemed wrong here, and now it was past noon, how could the doctor who was invited in the morning not be there now? Mama's tummy? What a coincidence.
Although she doesn't like the Guerjia clan, giving birth to a child in ancient times is tantamount to breaking into the Yama Palace, being a mother is unlikable, and the child is always innocent, besides, Tongying has always only recognized the Guerjia clan as her sister-in-law. Thinking of this, she changed her clothes when she went out, brought some medicinal materials that might be useful, and beckoned Zhou Chang's family to go with her.
Unexpectedly, after coming to Prince Jane's mansion, her current situation is more serious than she imagined. Guerja was already lying on the bed, crying out for pain, and there was a lot of blood on the bed. Two of the four grandmothers sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs earlier couldn't even walk because they had eaten the wine and food served by Ilgen Jue Luo and drank green tea. The remaining two, one was asked by Ilgen Jue Luo to take care of his son, but the other was obviously not very experienced, only saying "calm" and "okay", but nothing could be done.
Shuning immediately decided to let the Zhou Chang family step forward to take over, and then quickly sent someone to the Baron's Mansion to find Zhenzhen, let the Lu family and the Wu Jiu family come, and sent someone to ask for a doctor. She was thinking that she might have to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a few more useful grandmothers, and was walking outside the courtyard to get the transferred grandmothers back, but at the door she met a panicked Ilgen Jue Luo.
Ilgen Jue Luo stood in front of Shuning with tears in his eyes, repenting that he didn't take good care of his sister, and invited the grandmothers to eat and drink at this time, although she just wanted to make them more dedicated, but she never imagined that her sister would give birth at this time, if her sister had any three long and two short, she really couldn't give up.
The pear blossoms she has been chattering about bring rain. But Shuning only felt that she was really annoying to block her way, and said coldly: "Yinggege, if you have time, go back to the house and take care of the children, I will cook here." Then he walked around her and walked outside.
Ilgen felt that Luo looked at her back with some surprise, and Qi Rong gradually put away his face, and only after a while did he "hum" softly.
