Chapter 300: Changing Fate (2)
Since Zhu Jintang's accident, Shen Yuechen has hardly laughed much, and occasionally laughs in front of the elders, which is also perfunctory, in order to make them feel more at ease. And there are almost no genuine laughs.
Today, Chun'e brought the child over, talking and laughing, which also made her feel a moment of relaxation.
Chun'e lowered her head, but she still didn't dare to raise her hand to pick up something, but said: "The slave is so greedy, her face is too thick, and she always takes Miss's money and things for nothing." ”
Shen Yuechen thought for a while and said, "Okay, the silver is my share." Go back and wait for your food to spread out, make money, and then give me dividends. However, in this way, you will lose money, and when you come back and make a lot of money, I will definitely divide much more than this mere fifty taels of silver. ”
Chun'e raised her head when she heard this, nodded and said, "You can do as much as you want." Everything about the slave maid today is thanks to the blessing of the young lady, and the slave and the maid have nothing to repay, but I only ask the young lady to give the slave and the maid a chance, and when the slave and maid come out in the future, they will definitely repay your kindness. ”
"If only you had this heart."
Chun'e put away the silver close to her body, and then wrapped the gold bead around her wrist for her son, looked at him and smiled: "This child is really a good life." It's only been a month since I was born, and I can wear gold and silver. ”
Mother Wu was beside her and echoed: "Raise him well, maybe he will be able to make a name for himself in the future and glorify his ancestors for Zhang Jiaguangzong." ”
Chun'e nodded hurriedly: "I borrowed your auspicious words, I will definitely raise him to be strong, like a calf." ”
She has lived in the countryside for a long time, and now she is full of local flavor.
However, such a change does not make people feel annoying, but is more willing to listen to her.
Chun'e sat down again, worried that the child would eat and pull for a while, so she got up and said goodbye.
Before she left, Shen Yuechen instructed her: "When you are free in the future, remember to come here often and talk to us." ”
Chun'e nodded, as if she suddenly remembered something, slowly stepped forward, came to Shen Yuechen, and said softly: "Miss, you have to take care of yourself and take care of yourself." When you go back and wait for the little master to be born, you must send someone to inform the slave and maid, and let the slave and maid personally prepare red eggs for you. Speaking of this, she paused somewhat unnaturally and said, "Bad things will always pass." Miss Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely go well and make her wishes come true. ”
She's not very comforting, and she's not very good at talking. However, Shen Yuechen still understood her kindness.
When Chun'e left, Wu's mother and Chunming went out to send her, and they kept sending her to the gate. It's not because I'm worried that the porter will be unfavorable. Instead, I'm worried, how will she go back?
Fortunately, there were already people waiting there outside the gate of the Zhu family.
The man was dressed in a thick padded jacket, with a dogskin hat on his head, and a face flushed from the cold, and from time to time he walked back and forth a few steps to move his body.
That person is Chun'e's husband Zhang Yuan, who is also the eldest son of the Zhang family.
Chun'e called out to him, and he turned around and took out a new quilt from the carriage and ran over with a white breath.
Zhang Yuan had only seen Mother Wu alone, and knew that she was his own God of Wealth, so he nodded and bowed.
As for Chun Ming and Cui Xin, it was the first time he had seen him, and he didn't know what to call them for a while, so he just nodded, but didn't speak.
There was a stove burning in the carriage, so the quilt was also warm.
Zhang Yuan gently wrapped the swaddling clothes with a quilt, for fear that the child would catch a cold.
Seeing this, Chun'e's heart also warmed.
Wu's mother patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "I really got right, I hugged my son after just over a year of marriage." Your Zhang family is blessed. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Yes, I let you say it." This is all thanks to you and grandma, and our Zhang family is grateful. ”
To be honest, it is not easy for the family to survive this year, if it weren't for the one hundred taels of silver from the Zhu family, the father and mother of the family would not have been able to save their lives a long time ago.
Zhang Yuan said: "In our countryside, there are no good things that can be used as a thank you gift. There are only a few local chickens and a basket of local eggs, and I hope you and your grandmother will not dislike it. ”
Chun'e also said: "This local chicken is home-raised, and making soup for the young lady is the most replenishing vitality." There are also local eggs, steamed into egg custard, which is the best to eat. ”
Mother Wu saw that she was right, and nodded again and again: "I still remember the skills I taught you before." Go back and choose a place, come and tell me. ”
When Chun'e heard this, she nodded happily, and after saying goodbye to them one by one, she took the child and got into the carriage.
After she left, Wu's mother returned to the courtyard and accompanied Shen Yuechen to talk, and her words were emotional.
"Miss will rest assured, Chun'e's girl is doing well."
"Well, I can see it all. The smile on her face was not faked. ”
A simple husband, lovely children, harmonious elders, and a small and warm home are not exactly the happiness that many people look forward to?
Sometimes, the simpler the happier, and the more plain the more down-to-earth.
The eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, Laba Festival.
Li personally cooked Laba porridge for his family. Before, she cooked frequently for Shen Yuechen, and her cooking skills that she hadn't used for many years were much better.
She knew that compared to the cook at home, her skills were only average. However, Laba porridge is important in the heart, and it is almost the New Year when I think of it, but the whole family is depressed, and even with Brother Ming, they secretly pay attention to the faces of the adults, all of them are cautious.
It's easy to say anything else, what she can't stand is to let her children be wronged.
Taking advantage of this day, she and Shen Yuechen sat together to talk, and took the initiative to propose: "Although the old man made everything simple at home, I think that after all, it is the New Year, and everyone else is easy to say, just don't treat the children badly." Let them have fun and play. ”
Shen Yuechen thought the same as her, so she naturally nodded in agreement.
However, Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiao are easy to say, simple-minded and easy to coax. Brother Ming is different from them, what happened up and down the Zhu family, he knows everything he should know, and he knows what he shouldn't know.
Shen Yuechen originally didn't plan to hide it from him, after all, Zhu Jintang was his father who was connected to him by flesh and blood, and he was his closest relative.
Brother Ming's feelings for Zhu Jintang are very complicated, but since his accident, he has realized the uneasiness and panic of being a son of man.
Brother Ming doesn't like to eat sweets very much, but today it is Laba, and it was cooked by Li Shi himself, so he always has to eat a little bit.
Shen Yuechen saw that he didn't have much appetite, so he said, "What's wrong?" ”
Brother Ming put down the spoon, "I don't like sweets." ”
It was just an ordinary sentence, but it made Shen Yuechen stunned a little before saying: "This is my grandmother's self-boiling, if you can finish this bowl, she will be very happy." ”
Sure enough, it was father and son, and even the taste was the same. Zhu Jintang also doesn't like sweets......
Although the Li family wanted to have a good holiday, the Zhu family's Laba was much more cold and dull than in previous years.
On the other hand, after Zhu Feng arrived in the capital, he got a piece of news from the Ruan family that made him tremble.
Attempted rebellion...... Such a rare thing in a hundred years is actually secretly brewing......
This matter is very important, Zhu Feng naturally didn't dare to say anything nonsense, because once he said the wrong sentence and half a sentence, it would fall into the ears of someone with a heart, and it would be a big crime to kill the head and destroy the nine clans!
Zhu Yuanlan didn't hide it from her own brother at all, and said honestly: "Niangniang's meaning will definitely not be wrong, I hope my brother will find a place to keep the things I sent before." ”
Zhu Feng knew the severity of this, nodded his head and said, "It's no problem." However, the whole world is not the king's land, and even if it is hidden, there is no perfect place...... How is the situation in the palace? ”
Zhu Yuanlan shook her head again and again and said, "I'm afraid it's not good." Half a month ago, Sui Wang Ye had already left Beijing under the pretext of an excuse. Now, although the saint has found out a lot of clues, there is no way to catch his figure anymore. ”
Li Huan had planned early, but he had deliberately been holding back until he dared to expose his ambitions when the imperial court sent troops to the outside world.
After listening to his sister's words, Zhu Feng's brows were tightly locked, and his face was deeply sad, if it was really as she said, then the capital should be about to change.
The twenty-third day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve.
Imperial Concubine Ruan Linluo successfully gave birth to a son in the Empress Dowager's palace, bringing a rare joy and surprise to Miyagi, which has been lifeless for many days.
After Li Zheng learned of this, Long Yan was very happy, and immediately issued an edict to the world, and named the imperial concubine Ruan Linluo as the queen of the Middle Palace, and her son as the crown prince.
He had promised a long time ago that as long as Ruan Linluo gave birth to a prince, then the position of the queen would be hers.
Jun has no jokes, and this is also what Ruan Linluo deserves.
The people of the capital are looking forward to this little prince being a lucky star from heaven, who can bring favors and blessings to the people of Dawn.
As the eldest son of the emperor, he was made the crown prince at birth, which is the glory that this dynasty has had, and it is also the greatest glory.
While the Ruan family was overjoyed, they also felt uneasy and worried. Come to think of it, is the saint in a hurry to set up the crown prince so early, is he really worried about the instability of the country, so he made plans early?
This kind of question has been coiled in their hearts for a long time, making it difficult for people to sleep, so before they have time to experience this rare grace, they have to plan anxiously, what should they do in the future? Should we always trust the Saint's wise divine martial arts, or should we prepare in advance to prevent the unexpected?
After thinking about it, in the end, Ruan Guogong stabilized everyone's uneasy hearts.
Ruan Linluo has become a queen, everyone is prosperous and lossy, and they are all people who are sitting in the same boat.
They are all people who stand at the bottom of the imperial city, and there is a slight disturbance in the palace, and the first ones to suffer are those of them who are related to the palace, as if they want to escape and have nowhere to escape......
What's more, the Ruan family has been loyal and brave for generations, assisting the virtuous monarch, and everything they do must be worthy of the word "loyal and brave". So now, what they have to worry about is not how to protect themselves, but how to help the saint, protect the queen mother and His majesty the crown prince, and live in the palace peacefully.
……
The good news that Ruan Linluo was made queen reached the Zhu family within three days.
The second elder of the Zhu family was surprised and happy, and they couldn't ease their spirits for a while, and they were stunned for a while, and then they sent someone to prepare firecrackers and fireworks, wanting to celebrate and celebrate.
Because of the news that Ruan Linluo was crowned the queen, the Zhu family, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally had the opportunity to raise their eyebrows again.
Before, many people were secretly talking about the fact that the Zhu family was empty of people and money this time, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and it must take a long time to make a comeback and regain the position of the richest man.
But I didn't expect that the Zhu family was not only rich, but also had a good daughter who could give birth to a golden phoenix.
The Ruan family has a queen, which is undoubtedly equivalent to the Zhu family having a queen, so honorable, who else in Texas City can have it? Even if it is the Jia family, it only has a slight upper hand in terms of money, and in terms of connections and prestige, it is still ruthlessly suppressed by the Zhu family.
Shen Yuechen heard the good news, and felt happy for Ruan Linluo in her heart.
The fate of people is really wonderful and changeable, and no one can say what will happen in the next second, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, a lucky thing or an unfortunate thing.
Lu Changfeng followed Mother Wu to the house with ease, lowered his head slightly, took a few steps forward, and saluted Shen Yuechen, who was sitting on the soft couch in the inner room, "Say hello to grandma." ”
Xu is because the Zhu family today is different from the past. Lu Changfeng's attitude was much more humble than usual.
He respectfully followed behind Mother Wu, with a calm expression, lowered his eyes slightly, and came to the inner room to diagnose Shen Yuechen's pulse.
She was approaching the day of childbirth, so the old lady and the eldest lady ordered him to come over every day to be safe.
Shen Yuechen leaned on the soft couch and didn't move, just smiled slightly, and said, "It's really hard for you to run around every day on such a cold day." ”
Lu Changfeng lowered his head and replied: "It's my job to take care of my grandmother, and it's not hard to talk about." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid brought a chair beside him, he slowly did it, and saw Shen Yuechen stretch out his arm, so he took out a soft pillow and gently put it on the table, and when she put her wrist flat, he stretched out three fingers to check her pulse.
When Lu Changfeng was diagnosing his pulse, he had an unwritten habit that he always had to close his eyes slightly for a while, and then open his eyes to examine Shen Yuechen's complexion.
He first diagnosed his left hand, then his right hand. Fang Cai raised his head and asked, "Grandma, do you still feel backache today?" ”
Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, "I still feel a little sour, not very comfortable, but there is no stinging or bad feeling." ”
Lu Changfeng sighed and said, "If there is no pain, there is no big problem." Just a slight reaction to the imminent delivery. Big grandma, the fetus in your womb is about to be full-term. Therefore, there is a possibility of giving birth at any time, you should try to rest in the house for these two days, do not not travel, if you want to walk around, it will be more appropriate to stay in the room. Also, at night, pay attention to keeping people around. Don't panic if your stomach hurts suddenly, it may just be a prenatal sign. All in all, caution is the best. ”
Shen Yuechen took a deep breath and said, "I have firmly remembered what you have explained. ”
This child is not easy to come by, and it is even more difficult to conceive.
Shen Yuechen was ready to welcome the arrival of the child, although nervous, but also excited.
This is her first biological child after all, and she can't wait to see him and see who he looks like. Is it like her, or like Zhu Jintang......
Lu Changfeng then opened a prescription and said, "This is a spare prescription." If the eldest grandmother is resting at night, there are suddenly signs of imminent childbirth, you can first let the maids cook this bowl of medicine according to the recipe to stabilize the fetal gas, so that the eldest grandmother will not be in any danger before Xia and Wenpo arrive. ”
Shen Yuechen nodded when she heard this, thinking to herself, everything that should be prepared has already been prepared. Now it's up to this kid, when did he come up with it?
At night, the child's fetus moved too frequently, Shen Yuechen couldn't close his eyes at all, his heart had been as if he was stretching a string, and he felt uncomfortable lying down, so he simply sat up with his stomach up.
Chunming and Cuixin were afraid that she would catch a cold, so they added an extra quilt to her and covered her with it.
There was already a warm stove in the house, which would be covered with two thick quilts, and Shen Yuechen's forehead was sweating after a while, and after a while, her body was also sweating, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Shen Yuechen stretched out his arm from the quilt and sighed, "Don't cover me like this." I'm sweating all over my body, let's boil some hot water, I want to take a bath. ”
Since you can't sleep well, you have to find a way to relieve your fatigue first. This will, a hot bath, seems to be her best choice.
Because it was cold outside, the maids directly moved the bathtub into the inner room, saving Shen Yuechen a few more steps.
Soaking in the warm and fragrant hot water, Shen Yuechen let out a long breath, and Chun Ming stood aside, looking at the pocket watch in his hand from time to time, secretly calculating the time.
The young lady is not easy to soak in the bath for too long, this is what the doctor ordered, so she does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.
After the time of the incense stick, Chun Ming stepped forward and said softly: "Miss is almost over, the slave and maid are waiting for you to go back and lie down." ”
Shen Yuechen herself was also measured, holding her hand, she stood up slowly, put on a bath towel, and carefully took steps in the bath bucket.
She just made such a move, but the maids around her were hanging in their hearts, and their hands were holding and supporting, for fear that she would miss something......
Chunming was most worried, seeing her come out, and was about to speak, but inadvertently saw a trace of blood between her legs, and suddenly her face changed slightly, and said, "Miss, you ...... You're red. ”
Shen Yuechen hadn't noticed anything wrong with her, and following her words, she looked down and realized that she was bleeding.
Seeing red...... Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, held Cuixin's hand, and lowered a little bit: "Go and call Mother Wu, and send someone to inform the old lady and the eldest lady, and say that I am going to give birth." ”
During the day, Dr. Lu specially told him that once he saw red, or the amniotic water broke, it was a sign that the child was about to be born.
This kid is finally coming...... It was just a sentence, Shen Yuechen felt as if his body was frozen by a spell, and he didn't dare to move, and he didn't even walk back to the bedside step by step, moving his feet carefully, nervous and uneasy.
