Chapter 174: New Life
Xin Zixuan gave birth to a son safely, which made the entire Li family happy, and Li Ge Lao couldn't put down this great-grandson, and praised him for looking like Li Sijin, and praised him for being a blessed person with a full forehead. Shaohua didn't associate this pink and wrinkled little ball of meat with the elegant and handsome Li Sijin, and when he thought of the little ball of meat when it was just born, his whole face turned purple. Even the midwife said that she almost couldn't breathe, because Xin Zixuan had been born for too long, and she didn't even have the strength to shout, let alone exert herself. I poured two bowls of ginseng tea into my stomach, and I gasped for a long time before I could lift my spirits.
When the midwife washed the small meat ball and wrapped it in swaddling clothes, Shaohua's eyes suddenly lit up. She cautiously poked him in the face with a finger, only to be gently held by his tiny palm, as if complaining about her actions. Shaohua sighed infinitely in his heart, such a small life was born like this, and then looked back at Xin Zixuan, who was overwhelmed and fell asleep, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, it turned out that giving birth to a child was such a dangerous and difficult thing. Looking at the Qiang family, her eyes suddenly became reverent, and when she left the delivery room, she also laughed in the face of Ling's constant scolding.
"Auntie, seeing your sister-in-law give birth to a child so sad, you must have suffered at the beginning." Being saluted so seriously by Shaohua, Ling was speechless all of a sudden.
Ling's most unaccustomed is this kind of sensational scene, recalling that when she gave birth to a child, it was actually not hard, but it was only those miscarriages that almost killed her. Probably infected by the atmosphere, after Ling said a few words, he asked Shaohua to go back, and he nagged that he had to ask Shaohua for a talisman to wash away this bad luck.
Everyone said that because Shaohua had changed a lot because of this, the whole person seemed to have suddenly become an adult, but she herself didn't realize it. Not to mention that she is an adult, this body has also reached the age of Jilu, and she really can't go on with a child's heart.
Because Xin Zixuan gave birth to a big fat boy, the Li family's eyes shifted to Zhou Yan, but fortunately, Li Sinian couldn't have sex with her during the national funeral, and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she escaped. But outsiders can close the door and not listen to it, but they can't stand Pang Zi's eyes that want to complain, and he doesn't say a word, just looks at her dryly, which makes Zhou Yan feel that it will be a great crime if she doesn't give birth to a baby next year.
Shaohua knew Zhou Yan's situation, laughed unceremoniously, and saw that she was displeased, so he changed the topic, "Big brother is really a good husband." ”
Zhou Yan also agrees with this. "yes, it's really enviable to look at."
Shaohua tilted his head and teased her: "What do you envy, is the second brother not good to you?" ”
Zhou Yan pursed her lips, looking a little dissatisfied, "Can it be the same?" You didn't look at the intimacy of the eldest brother to the eldest sister-in-law, even I couldn't stand it. "Because Xin Zixuan's firstborn birth was too dangerous, the child was weak, and he was also consumed half of his life, not only was this month inevitable, but he also had to do two months. That is to say, for two whole months, you can't go out, get out of bed, and even use lukewarm water to wash your face, let alone take a shower.
The first month was fine, the weather was getting hotter, and Xin Zixuan, who hadn't taken a bath for a month, couldn't stand it for a long time, but there were people watching everywhere, and they didn't let her get out of bed at all, everything was brought to her, and the standard clothes came to reach out for food to open her mouth. But not everyone can afford it, at least Xin Zixuan can't stand it.
Li Sijin was a father for the first time, and he also felt sorry for his wife who had been locked in the house for so long, and he wanted to step further but was stopped by Liu's death. In the end, he made a concession, that is, he could move a stool and sit under her window to talk to her. Later, I didn't know where to go to collect miscellaneous books, and I came to read them to her every day, until Xin Zixuan came out of the moon. When husband and wife meet, it is like a long absence, and the relationship is deeper.
This matter accidentally spread outside, and it was cited as a beautiful talk for a while, and some people even wanted to ask whether Li Sijin had a concubine.
Shaohua couldn't help laughing when she saw that Zhou Yan's mouth was about to reach her nose, "Hahaha, isn't it just to read to her and hand over things, and when you are confined in the future, I will let the second brother also read to you at your window." Although Li Sijin looks more serious than Li Sinian, he is a typical woman and husband, and Li Sijin hardly brushes his wife at all. In contrast, Zhou Yan, who looked arrogant, was eaten to death by Li Sinian, and he asked her not to disturb Xin Zixuan's recuperation, but she really didn't take a step. Unless she was accompanied by Shaohua, she had only been there twice.
Zhou Yan was dissatisfied with Shaohua's evaluation of her. In her heart, Li Sinian is omnipotent, much more reliable than herself, so it's right to listen to him. "Don't worry, I get dizzy when he reads, I don't like to hear that. But if you play the pipa and sing music to me every day, I can think about it. Zhou Yan winked at Shaohua and smiled.
Shaohua rolled his eyes angrily. "You think beautifully, what do you think of me."
"Naturally, I want to be a sister-in-law." Zhou Yan grinned, the two frolicked for a while, and somehow the topic turned to the issue of making Shaohua silent, "Yan Kaizhi still has no news?" ”
Sure enough, Shaohua's smile disappeared immediately.
She paused, shook her head, sat up straight, picked up the embroidery rules again, and made a tiger head hat for Xin Zixuan's son. The biggest change about Shaohua is that she can calm down and do the things she hated the most before.
During Xin Zixuan's confinement, Qiang sent a grandmother and two big maids over, saying that they were helping to take care of Xin Zixuan's diet and daily life. Liu was unhappy in her heart, but she never expected that it was Mama Rong who sent it. Mama Rong was originally Mr. Li's boudoir, but now she has become a mama who takes care of Xin Zixuan, which undoubtedly raises Xin Zixuan's identity, not only gives birth to a son, but also allows Mama Rong to take care of her personally, who can look down on her. Although the Liu family didn't know what means the Qiang family used, they were so moved that they couldn't be rebellious, so they simply shook their hands and let them go by themselves.
Compared with Liu, Shaohua was even more surprised, and thought that it would be difficult to meet again in this life. At first glance, Mama Rong's spirit is stronger than before, and her heart is much more steady.
"I also asked my husband to ask, but my husband said he didn't know." Zhou Yan felt very disappointed that she couldn't help.
Shaohua patted her hand and said with a smile: "Don't talk about the second brother, even Song Yu didn't squeak." I asked Xiao Liuzi to go to the gate of the Marquis of Anqing to guard, but I couldn't even catch him, as if he was missing together. ”
"Otherwise, I'll ask my aunt to ask for you." Zhou Yan said seriously.
"It's better to say goodbye, Madame's body was just right a while ago, so don't bother her." Mrs. Zhongyi Hou was frightened at the beginning of the year and fell ill, and could not get out of bed until a warm day. Seeing that Zhou Yan was still worried about her, Shaohua smiled: "Okay, I don't worry about what you're worried about, it's okay, he will definitely come back." ”
Shaohua's words seemed to be comforting Zhou Yan and himself. Suddenly, the girl from Xuyuan came to Shaohua, saying that Xin Zixuan asked her to eat the new fruit, and Shaohua invited Zhou Yan to come over. Zhou Yan excused herself to go back to make soup for Pang Zi, but Shaohua made fun of her again, and she left without refutation.
"Hey, why did you go to the study, isn't my sister-in-law looking for me?" Shaohua walked behind, and as soon as he entered the garden, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately stood still. I saw the girl in front of me say hesitantly: "Someone wants to find you, let you go to the study first." Shaohua wrinkled her eyebrows, since she entered Beijing, there have been many people who have been deceived and circled, so if someone deliberately conceals it, she will immediately pull down her face and leave. Who is it? ”
If it is the Li family, just call her over, there is no need to go around such a big circle, it must be an outsider. can use Li Sijin's study, it seems that the other party is not small, and Li Sijin should also know him.
Could it be Yan Kaizhi?
"It's a friend of the eldest young master, and he said that he had something important to find the fifth lady." The girl was obviously benefited, and her eyes were fluttering as she spoke.
Shaohua thought about it, and at home, he was Li Sijin's friend, maybe he came to bring her news of Yan Kaizhi. So, I was relieved and followed to the study, but I didn't expect to see Hongfang. I haven't seen him for a few months, and he is wearing a plain white woven gold robe with pine cranes, and a waist seal inlaid with sea blue stone is tied around his waist, which looks very clear and clear.
"Stop!"
Hongfang is also sighing, after not seeing him for a few months, Shaohua seems to have changed. The light pink cherry blossom collar blouse is lined with a white and pink long skirt, and the emerald blue belt wraps her small waist, which feels like a pinch in her hand. But as soon as he had a smile on his face, he didn't expect the beauty to look at him, turn around and leave, so angry that he roared.
"I don't know that the prince is here, the little woman is presumptuous, so she will leave." Shaohua was so angry that her teeth itched, she had been deceived by Hongfang twice, and each time she was taken by her own people. I really don't know if the Li family's precautions are too poor, or if Hongfang's claws are too long.
"Did I teach you to stand still and hear me?" Hirokata walked over and dragged her into the study.
Shaohua wanted to exclaim, but found that the girl just now didn't know where to run, she glared at Hongfang fiercely, "Are you so arrogant in other people's homes?" ”
Finally seeing Shaohua's energetic expression, Hongfang smiled and said, "You haven't seen me arrogant yet." "In the Li family, he is already polite." I see that you are more arrogant than me, do you know who I am? ”
"What if you know?" Shaohua saw that Hongfang grabbed her wrist and refused to let go, and his face was unconsciously angry. "Let go, don't let me call people."
Who knows, Hongfang prefers to see her like this, the more she struggles, the tighter he grips, "It's okay if you shout, your big brother just went out, and it's just the two of us here." Seeing her round eyes in surprise, Hongfang said complacently: "You don't need to be angry, the entire Li family knows that I came to you, but if you don't call you over in another way, you will definitely refuse to see me." ”
"Now that you know that I won't see you, what are you going to do?" Shaohua earned his hands red, but he only frowned.
"It's your business that you don't want to see you, I want to see you as my business." Hongfang knew his strength, and seeing Shaohua twisting his wrist desperately, he finally couldn't bear it, let go of his hand and let her retreat. Looking at her red and swollen hands, she couldn't help but feel angry, others wanted to get close to him, but he was not happy, she even wanted to run away.
"Now that you've seen it, can you get out?" Shaohua covered his aching hands and glared at him angrily.
Hongfang's face sank: "You really owe a lesson, how can you enter the palace like this." ”
Shaohua sighed in his heart, straightened his gaze, and looked at him deadly, "Who told you that I want to enter the palace." "She tried her best to escape the fate of entering the palace, but she didn't want to be entangled with Hongfang in this life, especially knowing that Hongfang was such a sadist, he liked to provoke her to jump on fire at every turn.
Shaohua was annoyed, and Hongyi was happy, "Last year, the first emperor was not in good health, so he put it off again and again, and when he was mourned next year, you are also sixteen, isn't it really a good age to talk about marriage?" Sweeping Shaohua's surprised expression, he teased: "Yan Kai's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are uncertain, do you still want to wait for him to come back?" ”
"So what? Whoever told you he wouldn't come back. Shaohua also followed his example and raised his eyebrows.
Hongfang was a little unhappy in his heart, and continued: "The marriage event is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, I can let you come out in front of the Li family, you just know what is going on in your heart." I just stopped by to remind you, don't do something you shouldn't do at this sensitive time, when the time comes, the palace will not be able to come to the stage, and the Li family will not be able to fall. ”
Although Shaohua didn't know how true or false he said, he was shocked in his heart, and his face pretended to be calm, "Since you know that now is a sensitive time, aren't you afraid of committing taboos when you come to my house?" ”
Hongfang smiled: "Today is not what it used to be, and now the saint is just one of my brothers, do you think he will care about these things with me?" Besides, I'm just here to talk to Li Hanlin about things, and take a look at you by the way, and I'm not doing anything unseemly, what are the taboos. Suddenly, Hongfang deliberately lowered his voice, "Or do you have something taboo in your heart, afraid of being discovered?" ”
As soon as he approached, Shaohua jumped up in fright, took a few steps back, and finally couldn't pretend to be calm, "I warn you, I won't marry you if you don't want to." ”
"Shhhh You're yelling too much, and others mishear it, and they think you want to marry me. Hirokata grinned. Today, he did come to Li Sijin to discuss the affairs of the court, and he happened to hear that he was going to send someone to summon Shaohua, so he moved his mind. However, seeing Shaohua's bright and energetic appearance, the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared, and the others were put aside.
