Yan was stunned, not knowing what was wrong. Shi also knew that there was no third person in the family who knew about Mrs. Wen's proposal that day, so after thinking about it again, he ordered the second sister-in-law to confirm that no one else was passing by, so he told her everything softly.

When the second sister-in-law found out, she was also very angry: "What do you say? Although the wife pushed it in person, it was because the girl still had to be drafted, so they added people to their young master without saying a word, what did they think of our girl?! ”

Shi said coldly: "In a family with a lord, when the son is old, it is common to put two people in the house before marrying a wife. “

The second sister-in-law said "bah" and said: "Other people's families will not accept their sister's maids, and this second master Chong is too unsophisticated." I thought this master was a polite person, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Let's marry a girl from his family, but there is no one in the house. ”

Although he didn't say anything, he thought so in his heart. Although I originally planned to find an honest girl to guide my son to become an adult, but because the marriage was set early, there was no follow-up. In addition, Duan Ning himself is determined and does not want to make his fiancée sad, so he has not accepted anyone so far. At this point, he was very proud of his son. She had always felt that Chongli was a good candidate for a son-in-law, and it should not be much worse than Duanning, if her daughter got married, life would be easy, but she didn't expect the other party to disappoint her too much. It seems that I have to find someone else, but with such good conditions, it is not so easy to find.

However, for the sake of prudence, she still wanted to clarify the matter first, so she said to the second concubine: "There are only male and female names on this list, but there is no mention of what kind of servants they are, so I have finally figured it out." It is also convenient to pay monthly money in the future. You go to the General's Mansion in person, ask the matter clearly, and by the way, ask Mrs. Wen what arrangements they have on the wedding day, and who will be in their family to attend the wedding banquet. ”

These things were asked a little early, not to mention the General's Mansion, and even the Earl's Mansion has not yet decided on the final list of banquet guests. However, the second also understood that this was just an excuse, so he took the order.

Sitting alone in the room, thinking about Liangzhu, he was still angry. It's time for a happy event. The general's move is too unkind, they took the initiative to discuss their relatives, and before there was a result, they first gave their son a small one, isn't this a slap in the face to the in-laws? Moreover, it is extremely taboo to put the family girl ring into the room. Liangzhu has been waiting by Zhenzhen's side for many years, and must be very familiar with Chongli, and she is even more decent in the General's Mansion. In the past, I saw her gentle and polite. She is careful and careful, not an ordinary girl. There are people in such a house, and the house is received early, after the main room is entered. It's definitely not good to play and press, and I don't know what grievances I will suffer.

She couldn't help but think of Cuirui back then, who had been waiting for Zhang Bao for several years, with a pair of fast mouths. People are a little smart, and they are very favored by Zhang Bao. After closing the house, the arrogance was very arrogant. Although the mouth is said to respect the master's mother. In fact, I didn't take it seriously at all. If it weren't for her own iniquity, she would have been caught. He has also made some scheming, what is the situation today? I don't know yet.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he would never let his daughter encounter this kind of thing! Although she knew that her daughter was not a delicate and cowardly daughter, she still didn't want her daughter to encounter what she had encountered back then. After a while, she had already made up her mind that if she could find another good family, it would be good, but if she couldn't, she would have to prepare early.

With that up to her mind, she put the matter aside and took care of the other things first.

Shi looked at the list of banquet dishes prepared by Changfu, and felt that it was better to ask Nala's family, firstly, she was a family member, and secondly, she also married two daughters-in-law, who was more experienced. She picked up the list, called Su Yun, and walked in the direction of the bamboo courtyard, but on the road she saw several daughters-in-law scurrying around in a panic. She recognized one of them as the person waiting beside Shun Ning's wife, the Hitara clan, frowned, opened her mouth to stop the daughter-in-law, and asked, "What are you doing in a panic?" What happened? ”

When the daughter-in-law saw her, her eyes lit up, and she pounced on her and said, "Third wife, please our second grandmother, the second grandmother has been wrestling on the door, and it seems that she is about to give birth." ”

Shi was also taken aback: "How can this be?" Why didn't you take care of it? What about the big wife? ”

The daughter-in-law said: "The eldest lady and the wife of the in-laws made an appointment to go to the temple to pray for the second grandmother, but they were not at home." Now only the grandmother is there. Everyone thought that the second grandmother would not be able to give birth for the time being, and there were only two mothers in the hospital, who would have thought that the second grandmother would fall? ”

I also know that the Xitara family was unstable at first, but then it has been fine, but it has been more than ten months, but there has been no movement, everyone in the big house is worried, and the sister-in-law Nala also went out to pray for blessings at this time, probably also to ask the Buddha to bless the smooth birth of this grandson, right?

It's just that now that the Nala clan is not there, and the Shen family is in another courtyard, there is only one elder left, and she remembered that she had the experience of dystocia, so she immediately asked the daughter-in-law to call someone to invite the doctor and the stable woman, and she took Su Yun to the apricot courtyard.

As soon as she arrived at the main room of Xingyuan, she heard Li comforting every woman that she had such a thing, and it would be good to go over...... "She stepped forward to look at the Hitara family, but saw that the other party's face was pale, and he kept crying and crying out in pain, and his lower body was already bleeding, and he hurriedly asked: "How long has it been in pain?" Are the scissors white cloth hot water ready? ”

Li Shi turned his head to see Shi Shi, hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and told her the specific situation one by one. When she learned that she had sent someone to inform Nala and Shunning respectively, and that the things produced had also been prepared and handled properly, she nodded slightly, turned around and said to the Hitara clan: "Brother Shun's daughter-in-law, don't panic, don't worry. Your baby is full-term, at most two days earlier than before. When I gave birth to Brother Xian, it was half a month early, and I was safe. Don't cry yet, save some strength, and then it's time to help. Then he instructed all the maids and daughters in Xingyuan to prepare what they needed, and even asked someone to fry the ginseng soup.

Her voice was very steady, and her attitude was calm, and everyone calmed down when they heard it. Hitara was not so alarmed, and asked someone to cook porridge for her to eat, and she barely ate half a bowl.

The doctor and the stable woman arrived soon. Manager Wu was sitting outside the courtyard, and his wife went into the delivery room to help. The clan was afraid that the Hitara clan would be uneasy, so he pulled the Li clan to stay in the room to accompany him.

When Nala and Mrs. Hitara returned to the Earl's Palace, they happened to meet Shunning, who had rushed back from the Yamen, and the three of them helped each other into the apricot courtyard, and saw that everyone was performing their duties and everything was in order, and they were also a little relieved. The Hitara clan in the room was already shouting, and she could still hear the voice of the clan urging her not to exert her strength. A daughter-in-law next to her came up early and reported to Nala and the others that she could already see the child's land. It won't take long to give birth.

But by the time the child was fully born, it was already dark. Waiting in the side room next to them, the anxious Nala and Mrs. Hitara were surprised when they heard the report from the next person that the second grandmother had given birth to a big fat boy, and the mother and child were safe. Mrs. Hitara was delighted

go, causing everyone to be in a hurry. Shunning hurriedly rushed to the outside of the delivery room, and when she saw Wen Po holding her son, tears came down.

Both the clan and the Lee clan were tired, cold and hungry. Nara was grateful and hurriedly greeted him. For her daughter-in-law, she said approvingly: "You have worked hard." Go back and rest. Then he said to the clan with tears: "I have heard about it, thanks to the third brother and sister, otherwise it would be difficult to protect Brother Shun's daughter-in-law and son." ”

Shi just said lightly: "It's nothing, this fetus is full-term." It's just a little sinister. If it is freezing today, you should take care of it during the confinement. I'll go back first. She straightened her back and thumped her back again.

Nala hurriedly called for someone to help her, and saw her waving his hand. After saying a few more good words, he saw her out of the courtyard before turning back to see her second daughter-in-law and grandson.

Shi took Suyun back to Huaiyuan. As soon as he took a few steps, he saw Fang Ning looking anxiously in the direction of Xingyuan. Wan Ning sat on the big rock next to her. I was telling the little girl to ask if the Hitara clan had given birth. As soon as they saw him, they hurriedly came up to say goodbye. I asked the second sister-in-law about the situation again.

Shi smiled faintly: "Mother and son are safe, everything is fine." You are all girls who have not left the cabinet, and it is difficult to get close to the delivery room, so go back quickly. Then he left.

Fang Ning and Wan Ning both breathed a sigh of relief, and the former said, "Presumably many people haven't eaten yet, let's go to the kitchen and ask someone to get some hot meals." Wan Ning said: "Uncle Wu must have ordered, do you still need us to worry about this?" I've been standing with you for a day today, and I'm very tired. Fang Ning smiled and said, "Then you go back to the room first." I went to see if they had prepared a bounty, which was a great joy. Wan Ning thought for a moment and nodded. The two separated.

When he returned to Huaiyuan, Shuning had already made preparations, first took a bowl of hot chicken soup and said, "This is just stewed, E-Niang first drink a mouthful of soup to pad her stomach, and the hot water is ready, E-Niang will take a bath and come to eat." ”

Shi nodded, drank the soup, and ate a few pieces of tender and fluffy chicken, as well as pork meat with soft tendons, and felt warm on his body. She went to the back of the house, took a shower, changed into a clean Qi'er, and returned to the kang in the room. Shuning had already laid hot meals on the kang table, all of which she loved to eat.

He was full of food and drink, and felt that his heart was very useful. Shuning chatted with her for a while, and when she saw her sleepy-eyed, she hurriedly said: "E-Niang, if you are tired, go to bed early, everything has me." As soon as he was in his arms, he asked someone to pack up his things and go to sleep.

The next morning, when he got up, he only felt refreshed, thinking of the pill that his daughter had asked him to take with water last night, and it seemed to be very effective. While thinking about it, Su Yun came in and waited for her to freshen up, and then said, "The girl asked someone to prepare breakfast, and the wife ate it first, right?" ”

Shi Yiyan ate, and happened to meet Shuning coming in from outside, and said, "Eniang, the congratulatory gift for the second brother and sister-in-law has been prepared, do you want it?" ”

Shi went to see it, and saw that the share of his husband and wife was a golden lock, a pair of purses, each with two small ingots, as well as four silk horses and several large bags of precious medicinal materials, and nodded secretly in his heart. Looking at Shuning's own share, it is a pair of purses and a pair of bamboo flower baby shoes with a greater decorative effect than the actual effect; Duanning's share is a pair of jade plates, and the jade quality is very good; Xianning, Xiao Liu and Xiaobao, Shuning actually prepared them. He was very pleased, but he added a pair of silver anklets, and asked someone to hold them and went to the apricot courtyard.

She didn't come back until near noon, and she was in a good mood. The Nala clan was extremely polite to her, and it seemed that she had a more secure position in the Earl's Court. When she returned to the main room and sat down, she called her second sister-in-law, retreated left and right, and asked about the situation of going to the General's Mansion yesterday.

The second sister-in-law replied: "Of the eight people who married, the four girls except for the one or two girls a month, the rest were all one penny, four male servants, two were one penny, and two were five hundred yuan." The people they are going to come over there have not yet been finalized, and Mrs. Wen has said that she will give us a letter in two days. It's just that she said that she consulted the old man, furniture or something, and she would send it with the dowry the day before the wedding. ”

Shi frowned: "Forget it, if there is anything wrong with the things sent, they are the ones who have no face." What do they say about Liangzhu? ”

The second sister-in-law said: "I asked his housekeeper and said that there was no such thing as receiving the house, but the old man of Liangzhu was on an errand in the house, and the master couldn't bear to let her separate her flesh and blood, so she was allowed not to marry." The girl next to Chong Erye got married last month, and now there is no reliable person around her, so she simply transferred Liangzhu over, but she didn't say anything in the house. ”

Shi sneered: "Don't be coaxing, right? When he arrives in his house, who knows if he is a person in the house? ”

The second sister-in-law said: "In front of Mrs. Wen, I deliberately asked why I didn't let Liangzhu marry, but she only said that the girl was old and always sick, so I didn't let her come with her." She didn't say a word about our girl's affairs, but just asked if the palace had sent someone again. ”

Shi frowned and said, "Did she hear about the people sent by the palace and was worried that our Shu'er would be assigned to marriage, so she died?" The results haven't come out yet, and what they asked at the beginning was that if Shu'er failed in the draft, could they be allowed to Chongli. They should have known what they meant by saying this now. I won't say much about it, just look at what happens in the future. ”

Although she said this, she had actually made up her mind in her heart, although Chongli's conditions were very good, her daughter was better and would definitely be able to find a better family. She thought of Shuning's housework in the past two days, and felt that she couldn't wronged her daughter.

Duan Ning didn't come back until the evening, but it was already an early time to go home recently. He first greeted his mother and talked a few words with him, and then found his sister and said, "Come to my yard quickly, I have something good for you to see." ”

Shuning followed curiously, only to see three pots of plum blossoms in the plum courtyard, all of which were small and exquisite, with potted flowers, but only two feet high. Duan Ning smiled: "Do you know who gave it to me?" It's Tongying! It's hard to figure out how he got it. ”

The plum blossoms of potted plants are not unseen, but the common ones are yellow plums, but these three pots are all red, no different from ordinary plum blossoms, and they also exude a faint fragrance, which is really rare. Shuning recalled the red plum paintings and poems of that day, and a sweetness rose in her heart.

Duan Ning saw her expression and couldn't help but smile: "But he gave me this plum blossom, saying that he was adding makeup to my new yard, but what happened to these three pots?" It's not in pairs, and one pot is darker than the other two. He is not smart on weekdays, and even the wedding gifts he gave away were nonsense. ”

Shuning flattened her mouth, but she guessed in her heart that it was probably Tongying who wanted to give it to her, but she was afraid that people would gossip, so she deliberately walked the curve. She glanced at her brother and thought, "I don't believe you didn't guess."

Duan Ning snickered, seeing that her sister's face was red, and her fingers were about to be twisted, she hurriedly said: "I only need two pots of light-colored decorated study, and the big red one will be transferred to my sister, I think it matches the plum blossom picture in your house." ”

Shuning smiled embarrassedly, slapped her brother twice, but thanked her again, and went back to the hospital with the red plum in her hand.
