"It's about entrusting it to Tao's mother. In fact, most of the time, Mother Tao was helping the deceased fourth lady to fight with the mothers who were in charge, or conditioning the body of the deceased fourth lady. It's not early. It's late, sometimes it takes ten days and a half months. Tao's mother was very anxious. We are only asked about it every once in a while. What are the words. Let the mother of the deceased fourth lady in our respective rooms help spread the word. ”

In other words, several aunts belong to the situation of herding cattle and grazing!

Eleven Niang groaned: "Then how could Aunt Tong have a miscarriage?"

"I don't know exactly what happened." Aunt Wen said frankly." I can only tell Madame what I knew at the time. ”

She recalled: "I remember that it was the mid-spring of the 53rd year of the founding of the martial arts. Mrs. Tai died of a sudden illness due to the second master. On the eighth day of the fourth month, he changed to the Yaowang Temple to worship the Yaowang. Morning. When a few of our aunts went to say hello to the deceased fourth lady. The deceased fourth lady was discussing with Tao's mother to arrange a carriage and horse to Yaowang Temple. Mother Tao asked the deceased fourth lady to follow Mrs. Tai to the Yaowang Temple to worship and ask for a clear and healthy life. The deceased fourth lady was a little moved when she heard this, and she was worried that she would leave without anyone in charge of the family. I can't help but hesitate. Tao's mother patted her chest and said that she was in the family. The deceased fourth lady made up her mind to go to the Medicine King Temple with Mrs. Tai to worship the Medicine King.

Tao's mother happily went to the outer courtyard to spread the word. A few of us served breakfast to the deceased four ladies. At that time, the deceased fourth lady was in a good mood. also said that Aunt Tong's stomach was pointy.

Maybe it's a son. I rewarded Aunt Tong and Aunt Qin with a plate of pine nut cake each. After eating, I asked the little maid to sit with a pestle and asked with interest about the child's situation.

Eleven Niang suddenly interrupted Aunt Wen's words when she listened: "I rewarded Aunt Tong and Aunt Qin's pine nut cake, what did I reward Aunt Wen?" ”

Aunt Wen's expression was slightly embarrassed: "I was pregnant when I sued, and the nurse asked me not to eat indiscriminately." I'm afraid that everyone will misunderstand. In front of outsiders, he only said that he had no appetite. A long time. People didn't force me to eat. ”

Are you afraid that someone will do something in your diet?

With Yuan Niang's intelligence. It's impossible not to see it. Now that she has seen it, it is impossible for her temperament to surrender her identity and embarrass a concubine on the surface.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

Aunt Wen doesn't deny it either. Pondering, he said, "The deceased fourth lady has a lot of temper. Into the i

It didn't take long to train Aunt Tong and Aunt Qin to be obedient. I'm new to Chadao. Inevitably, there are a few warinesss. The expression was a little sneering.

Eleven Niang can understand. Nodding slightly: "Then what happened later?" 、

Aunt Wen said: "I was very hungry, so I went back to the house under the pretext of being uncomfortable. When I went to serve lunch at noon, I found that the atmosphere had completely changed—the deceased fourth lady sat cross-legged on the big kang near the window, and her hands on the kang table were tightly clenched into fists. The front looked at Mother Tao who was standing in front of her. As for Mother Tao, her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth kept trembling. He looked extremely defeated. Aunt Tong and Aunt Su stood side by side beside the floor cover as if walking on thin ice. I didn't dare to say it loudly. I looked at the situation and didn't know what was going on, and I was thinking about what to say. I saw Aunt Tong winking at me. "Talking. Her eyes darkened slightly.

sighed lightly like a spring breeze." Jasper is not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted.

It's just that the temperament is too docile. She paused. Bite one's tongue.

Is it because the listener is Yuan Niang's sister, and it's a little inconvenient to speak? Or is it because there is no way to accurately express your feelings for Aunt Tong in words?

Eleven Niang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, only to find that the tea was already cold.

"I watched, and quietly walked to the side," Aunt Wen said in a low voice, "Just stood still. The deceased fourth lady suddenly glanced at me coldly and instructed Tao's mother to set the meal. Tao's mother is very unwilling. It took a while to whisper. Yes, retreated. Aunt Tong hurriedly stepped forward to pour a new cup of hot tea for the deceased fourth lady. The deceased fourth lady drank tea. The face looks a lot better. The atmosphere has also eased a lot. I took the opportunity to step forward and say a few laughs. It just so happened that Tao's mother commanded the rough mother to bring lunch in. A few of us helped to set up the chopstick, and the deceased fourth lady waved her hand and told us to retreat. Leave Tao's mother alone to speak.

I quietly asked Aunt Tong what had happened.

"Aunt Tong told me that Mother Tao went to the outer courtyard to find the steward for the eighth day of the fourth month to arrange: carriages and horses, but the steward in charge of carriages and horses said that there were several carriages with broken axles that had not been repaired. After a while, he said that the chauffeur was not strong enough, and the white manager had not recruited anyone yet. Push three and four. In short, I couldn't get the carriage I needed. Tao's mother had no choice but to go to Manager Bai. Mr. Bai personally took his personal servant to the stable to pick horses and choose carriages. Only then did the matter of the carriage be settled.

"Who knew that the aunt that Hou Ye specially invited, that is, Mrs. Tai's cousin, came at this time. The old sister has not seen each other for decades, and she has a broad understanding. Mrs. Tai had to invite this aunt to visit the Yaowang Temple together. It's just that in this case, a few more carriages will have to be added.

The deceased Fourth Lady thought about adding a few more carriages. After some troubles, when I returned to the house, I told Tao's mother that I would not go to Yaowang Temple.

"Tao's mother disagrees and says if someone doesn't go. That should also be the widowed second lady not to go. Or the pregnant third lady doesn't go. It's not the turn of the lady who presides over the feed. He also said that if the deceased fourth lady was embarrassed to say it to the second lady. She went to say.

The deceased fourth lady became anxious when she heard this. And if the second lady asked why she would not be allowed to go. Could it be that the carriage can't be missed? The second lady has presided over the middle feed of the inner courtyard. I also helped Mrs. Tai to manage the outer courtyard and what was the situation at home. She knows best. As soon as these words came out. Wouldn't she laugh off her big teeth? said that I was a dignified Mrs. Yongping Marquis, and I couldn't even move a few carriages at home.

Tao's mother felt that it made sense, so she proposed to let the third lady go. The deceased Fourth Lady disagreed. Said that the third lady is the most stingy. I refuse to eat even the slightest loss. Knowing that the people in the family went out to visit the Zen monastery, they didn't let her go. Isn't she going to Madame Tai? When Mrs. Tai asked, she was even more shameless.

Tao's mother was also anxious. He said, "Heaven and earth are not as big as their heirs." Is it just like that?

The face of the deceased fourth lady became difficult to look at when she heard this, and she did not speak for a long time, and finally decided not to go.

"Mother Tao is upset for the deceased fourth lady."

"So to speak. My eldest sister and Tao's mother are both unhappy because of this incident? Eleven Niang asked Aunt Wen.

"And I've been not very happy!" Aunt Wen nodded, "Mother who is in charge of needlework and thread will come over in the afternoon. Speaking of the usual practice, at this time of the previous year, the clothes for autumn clothes have already been decided. Q: What about this year? If you ask the stewards of the outer court to help you book it. You have to take a pair of cards and go to the outer court and say: if the inner court sets its own. Also make a deposit early. Otherwise. Autumn clothes can't be rushed.

"It's a very common thing. But it provoked the deceased fourth lady to lose her temper. Aunt Tong and Aunt Qin were so frightened that they didn't dare to go over, so they did needlework in my room. At that time, I saw that my aunt's face was a little unsightly, and she looked very tired. Just let her go to my bed and rest for a while. But she said it was fine. Because all three of us are pregnant. There is such a thing. I'm not reluctant. She said it was fine, and I didn't ask any more. It's dusk. The three of us went to serve the late fourth lady's dinner together, and the evening fragrance said that the deceased fourth lady was settling accounts with Tao's mother. Let's wait outside.

"A few of us waited until the time of the lantern, and there was no movement in the main house. My feet hurt when I stood up, and Aunt Tong and Aunt Qin were no better than me. Switch feet from time to time. I don't think that's the way to go. Let's just say that my stomach hurts. To go to the clean room. Then I rested in the toilet for most of the hour before going out.

"Who knew that the deceased fourth lady was still settling accounts with Tao's mother. We stood for a moment with wide eyes and wide eyes. I see that Aunt Tong and Aunt Su, who have always been honest, are a little shaky.

I was about to hint that they also went to the upper clean room, but the door of the main room opened, and Mother Tao came out and ordered the little maid to have dinner. And he swallowed it.

"Had dinner. Tao's mother accompanied the deceased fourth lady to the second lady. We went back to our respective houses.

"I freshened up and lay down. My mother, who came with me from Yangzhou, sat by the kang and guarded me.

Talk to me on the one hand. Make a thread needle for the child on one side. Aunt Qin came over to borrow tricks. I sat on the bed and talked to her, and my mother went to look for tricks. I'll just ask Aunt Qin. What is Aunt Tong doing? Aunt Qin said that Aunt Tong felt a little tired and had already rested. I thought about that station just now. Just ask Aunt Qin. Aunt Tong is fine. Aunt Qin said that there was a mother sent by the late Fourth Lady to take care of her in the house. It's going to be fine. ”

Aunt Wen said, her eyebrows dyed with a few trances, "While we were talking, the little maid who served Aunt Qin suddenly ran over, and said with a pale face that Aunt Tong was red.

We were all startled, and Aunt Qin pulled out her legs and ran inside.

"I'd like to check it out too. But I was pulled by my mother.

She said. Three more in the middle of the night. Where to get a doctor. Aunt Tong's child is afraid that she will not be able to save it. It's too late for others to wash it up. You're stupidly jumping into the muddy waters. ”

Aunt Wen lowered her head.

"I hesitated for a long time. I still feel like I can't get over it. Shook off his mother's hand and climbed onto the big kang near the window, lying on the window lattice and looking out. I saw Aunt Qin hurrying to the main house alone.

"There was always silence in the yard and no one came. I felt a little stiff on my knees, and I sat down and wanted to change my position. The little maid serving beside Aunt Tong ran over, and she looked frightened. said that Aunt Tong was bleeding nonstop. The mother who was sent by the fourth lady in their house didn't know what to do.

I begged my mother, who came from Yangzhou with me, to help me take a look. My mom refused without thinking. That little girl. plopped, knelt on the ground with a sound, and begged me to send a little maid to find Aunt Qin. Say. Aunt Su went to find someone and hasn't come back yet. He has a big belly again. In case there is a three-long and two-short. A room full of them didn't want to live.

"My mom didn't say a word. Directly pushed the little maid out of the door. ，
