Chapter 36: Congenital Deficiencies

Imperial capital, Xiangningbo Mansion.

Shen Zangzhu, who temporarily took charge of the family on behalf of her brother-in-law, personally welcomed Mrs. Min and her young 'daughter' Pei Liniang into the backyard.

The Earl's Court was very tidy inside and out, but the servants were very cautious, lest a bad one might anger the already bad master.

Mrs. Min - the noble 'woman' who caused a lot of discussion in the imperial capital a few months ago because of the marriage of the second 'daughter', is completely lost at this moment, and the two 'daughters' are complacent when they marry into the valve reading and both promise the valve reading concubine, with a solemn expression full of worry. Before she reached the courtyard where Pei Meiniang lived, she couldn't hold back her anxiety and asked Shen Zangzhu in a low voice: "Dare to ask the eldest lady, my granddaughter'...... How are you doing now? ”

Shen Zangzhu smiled bitterly and sighed: "My uncle's mother came to visit me before, and the Tao is ...... It would be nice if one of the disciples of Doctor Ji was in the imperial capital......"

Mrs. Min's heart sank, and she couldn't help but clench the hand of the little 'girl' Pei Liniang beside her - at noon on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Pei Meiniang gave birth to a 'girl' at full term.

Although she is a 'female', she is also the first grandchild of Xiangning Bofu, and she is a grandson. Therefore, regardless of the Shen family or the Pei family, after receiving the news, they all came over to congratulate them. It's just that Mrs. Min is happy that Pei Meiniang's birth went smoothly, her mother and daughter are safe, and the congratulatory gifts have not been packed up yet, so she received bad news: the situation of the newborn little grandchild is not good.

This 'girl' baby, who has not yet been named, cried when she landed on the ground and was called Mrs. Su, who rushed to sit outside the delivery room in person to show her attention to her nephew and nephew......

But at that time, when I heard that the child was born, Pei Meiniang was so tired that she fainted, but it was no big deal, and she was celebrating the good news everywhere, and she was not good at ruining it. As a result, after the child was washed, the swaddling clothes were wrapped, and the stable woman took it out to Mrs. Su to look at it, and her heart was half cold: Speaking of which, the child was born at term, even if it was a 'girl' child, it was not as strong as Shen Shuguang when he was born, but it was also limited in terms of being thinner and weaker according to common sense.

But the swaddling clothes were fluttering in Mrs. Su's arms, without the heavy feeling that Shen Shuguang had when he was held in his hands by his grandmother for the first time. Not only that, but a small face that was 'exposed' in swaddling clothes, a newborn child's red complexion, and a subtle and weak cry - no matter how you look at it, it is all a congenital deficiency.

Mrs. Su could see that the Liu family and Duanmu family, who accompanied her mother-in-law, were also people with sons and daughters, and they also saw that this newly landed cousin and nephew was not very good. They have suffered losses in the affairs of Xiangningbo Mansion, and they will not dare to talk more, but the joy they had prepared before was also put away, and they said a few words lightly: "It is a filial child, just like Guang'er, he fell to the ground without tossing his mother." ”

"He looks very much like the fourth brother, and he will definitely be a handsome child in the future."

At that time, Pei Meiniang was exhausted, and when she heard that the child was born, she fainted with confidence. And the eldest lady Shen Zangzhu because she is a widow, she is afraid of colliding with her brother and daughter-in-law to give birth, until she heard that her niece and daughter-in-law landed smoothly and her brother-in-law is safe and sound, so she rushed over to see her own niece and nephew - she is a widow who keeps the festival, even if the Su family has more heirs in the future, she will give her a step-heir, but that is also a matter of the future, not to mention that the heirs of the Su family have nothing to do with her, even if they have, they have been bypassed several times, where can they be closer than their nephews and nephews?

Unexpectedly, after arriving, I saw that Mrs. Su's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not very good...... Shen Zangzhu was suspicious, but after saluting and greeting, she couldn't wait to ask about her niece and daughter-knowing that she had been taken to the house prepared earlier by her 'nurse' mother, Shen Zangzhu ran to take a look and immediately understood......

Originally, Shen Zangzhu had never given birth herself, and there were not many babies who had just landed, and she didn't dare to be sure that her niece and daughter were in a bad situation just by looking at it.

But just three months ago, in November last year, Shen Zhishi's 'servant' concubine Cuiyan gave birth to his eldest son, the child named Shuyi not long ago was taken to his room by Duanmu Yanyu to raise him, Shen Zangzhu went to congratulate, he had seen it once, and he had personally hugged it - this comparison is out!

In fact, just as they feared, the 'girl' baby cried weakly, and it didn't take a few hours to land, and even her breath calmed down - so frightened that the 'nurse' mother ran out of the 'door' and shouted because Ji Qu's master and apprentice were not in the imperial capital now, and the most reliable was the Tai Hospital's judgment.

After the hospital arrived, he carefully diagnosed and treated, but gave a good news and a bad news: the good news was that the fifth grandson of the Shen family did not have any diseases; The bad news is that Miss Wusun is indeed congenitally deficient, and her physique is far worse than ordinary people, so she needs long-term recuperation.

Hearing that the court ruled that it could be cured, the Shen family was greatly relieved, but a "long-term recuperation" gave everyone a headache. Because you have to drink 'medicine' for recuperation, but Miss Wusun is too young!

Such a big child will drink 'milk', how can she drink 'medicine'? Even if she is coaxed to drink the 'medicine' juice as 'milk' juice, how much can she drink? And after drinking the 'medicine', she can't drink the 'milk', the water, the water feeds, the body becomes weaker and weaker-the body is already congenital deficiency that leads to an extremely weak body, where can she be called weaker?

I had to let the 'lactating' mother drink the 'medicine', and then let her drink the 'milk' juice of the 'lactating' mother...... After turning around like this, it is naturally very slow to recuperate.

However, she was born in the early 'spring', and within a few days of landing, she caught up with the warm and cold time of this meeting, although Pei Meiniang personally took care of it, no, she was careless, and she was actually sick!

Mrs. Min brought Pei Liniang over today to visit the patient.

In these years, children are not easy to raise, and children from high-ranking families are even more delicate - two children who are two months old are frail and sickly, and it is difficult to say whether they can grow up. So although the person who went to the Pei family to report the news was that Miss Wusun of the Shen family was just a little coughing, Mrs. Min still tightened her heart: The eldest 'daughter' is also the heir of the Shen family! Shen Zanghui, who especially loves his wife, is not in the imperial capital now, and after sending his sister-in-law to Xiliang, it is said that he will be sharpened directly under Shen Zangfeng's hands, and God knows when he will come back...... God knows if he will bring a new person or even a concubine when he returns......

Pei Meiniang has a child, regardless of male and female, she can always be by her side! And when Pei Meiniang entered the 'door', it would offend her husband's family a lot, and this would be a ...... Maybe the gossip is going to talk about whether it's hers or not......

All in all, Mrs. Min's heart was 'chaotic' and became numb!

When they arrived in the courtyard where Pei Meiniang lived, it was quiet, so that the 'woman' and the 'woman' saw people coming, and bowed down from afar, but even An didn't dare to ask for a word, and their expressions were panicked - Shen Zangzhu and Mrs. Min knew that Pei Meiniang must have lost her temper when they saw this situation, and they were even more worried.

When I entered the room, I saw several ambassadors and 'women' standing in the hall with their hands down, and the curtain leading to the inner room was tightly covered.

Pei Meiniang's henchman made the 'female' Manman take the lead in saluting them, and said softly: "The young lady is coaxing Miss Wusun inside." ”

There was no sound in the inner room, so the group left the maid outside, took off the ring, and then carefully opened the curtain and entered.

As soon as I entered, I first smelled the faint fragrance of 'medicine', but I saw Pei Meiniang, who was wearing a homely half-used dress, on the soft couch by the window in the inner room, with a sad face and a small swaddling hair. The swaddling clothes were tightly wrapped, and a little face was 'revealed', much whiter than when it was born, but it looked pale, with its eyes closed, frowning slightly, and falling asleep.

The 'breast', mother', 'mother', 'woman', and 'servant' stood beside them, all of them looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't dare to say a word.

"Mother?" When Pei Meiniang saw someone coming in, she frowned at first, and only when she saw it clearly did she breathe a sigh of relief, and stood up with her 'daughter' in her arms, "I'm tired of my big sister." He greeted his sister again, "Why is Liniang here today?" ”

Mrs. Min and Shen Zangzhu's thoughts were placed on the swaddling clothes in her arms, and they asked together, "How is the child's cough?" ”

It was Pei Liniang, who stared at her nephew's 'daughter', and whispered back: "Mother brought me here." ”

But Pei Meiniang's mind was on the 'daughter' at this time, but she didn't hear her answer clearly, and replied to her mother and sister-in-law with sadness and worry: "Aunt Cao just drank the 'medicine' prescribed by the hospital and fed her a meal, and she will sleep and stop coughing for the time being." ”

"Do you have a fever?" Mrs. Min is the one who raised two 'daughters' and many concubines, and she has the best understanding of the difficulty of children at this time, so she asked again.

This question made Pei Meiniang almost cry out of her voice! The circles under her eyes turned red on the spot, and she was afraid of waking up the 'girl', so she endured it for a while before saying, "The fever has not gone down yet." ”

Mrs. Min 'gasped' a breath of cold air - such a big child, just coughing has to worry about not coughing up his throat, a good 'girl' child, it is not difficult to look handsome and beautiful after looking at the outline, but what if you open your mouth in the future with a hoarse voice! But I don't want to start a fever, at this time, all the children around the age of ten often go because of a high fever, Mrs. Min has seen two or three times when her brothers and nephews have passed away like this, not to mention the 'girl' baby who is only two months old?

Her heart jumped suddenly, but when she saw the 'girl' Pei Meiniang's expression, she was already about to cry at any time, and Shen Zangzhu's face was also pale.

Mrs. Min hurriedly bit the tip of her tongue, forced herself to calm down, and forced a smile: "It's okay, I won't cough when I fall asleep, it can be seen that the cough is not very bad...... After a while, the heat will subside, didn't the court prescribe 'medicine'? Maybe the 'medicine' and 'sex' haven't gotten up yet. ”

Pei Meiniang's heart was 'messy' at the moment, and she had no idea at all, but when she heard her mother say this, she caught a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly asked: "You mean...... It doesn't matter? ”
