Chapter 117: Postponement
[Chapter 4, Volume 4]
Section 456
After entering August, Mingpeitang was busy up and down, in order to prepare for returning to the imperial capital.
The Huang family is especially worried: the He family is out of confinement, but she and Jiang Zheng's daughter Jiang Heyue have only been two months old, and they can't stand the bumps; Wei Changying is seven months pregnant, and the fetus is stable, but no one dares to risk her.
It was the Huang family who tossed and tossed the two carriages, and almost invited all the craftsmen from Hefu, for fear that people would be tired on the road. Rao is like this, the Huang family still can't rest assured, and takes advantage of the time when no one is there to discuss with Wei Changying: "Why don't you persuade the young lady to persuade the son to delay going back for a few days?" When I left Beijing before, didn't my wife explain that when the three-year period expired, my son might not necessarily go back immediately? Calculate the days, the three-year period expires next month, and the young lady will be eight months old, and she will give birth before the end of the year. ”
There is a season to go to the illness with the Huang family, and Wei Changying knew not long after returning to Xiliangcheng from Diecuiguan at the beginning of the year, and this time she was pregnant with a male heir. In fact, Shen Zangfeng and her already have an eldest son, and it is normal for people to hope that both children will be complete, so in my selfish heart, I hope to have a daughter this time.
However, since God has given the boy a fetus, the two are also looking forward to it. However, people like the Huang family think that the Shen family now has fewer male grandchildren and more female grandchildren, and if Wei Changying has two sons, it is the first daughter-in-law of the Shen family, which is of great help to the status of the third room. And because of the bitter cold in the west, many things are not in order, and I am more and more concerned.
"At that time, my mother said this because she was worried that the situation would be unfavorable to the Shen family, and she was afraid that the saint would suppress it." Wei Changying shook his head and said, "But now that there is a civil uprising in Youyan and other places, and the imperial court is very busy, where does the Holy Lord still have the heart to control our valve reading?" At this time, returning to Beijing was promised by the saint himself three years ago, and now in order to pacify the civil rebellion in the country, he will definitely give a reward; You can also take advantage of the fact that the saint and the court are paying attention to the civil uprising, saving a lot of temptation. If you miss this light, you may have to make trouble! Do you think that now that the people in the country are in turmoil, and now the chaos is the top priority, where can the husband not go back? ”
He also said, "Even if the husband can delay his return for a few days, it is only seven months now, and if the birth is counted at term, the child will not be able to land until November." I still have to go to confinement, after the confinement, as Aunt He is now, it has been two months in Heyue, and my aunt still doesn't worry about taking her on the road? ”
Huang sighed and said, "So, Gongzi will go back in September, young lady, you and Sister He's family, and we will go back in the spring of next year, okay?" ”
She persuaded, "Young Lady, Sister He, and He Yue, their bodies are all excellent. Young lady, your current fetal image is also very stable, but the more it is like this, the more you can't ignore it - no matter how you say it, it's a long way away, the so-called don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, even if there is a doctor Ji who walks with the servant, but how can you stay safe in Xiliang City on the road? ”
In fact, Wei Changying was also very worried about dragging her pregnant back to Beijing with her husband. When she was pregnant with Shen Shuguang before, it was just because she was careless, but she asked Ji Qu to help protect the fetus, and she also lay on the couch for several months so that she would not have a miscarriage. Because of this, she was uneasy until she gave birth, and almost took Ji Qu's illness as a golden rule to follow, as a reason for peace of mind.
Now that she is pregnant for the second time, she has always been carefully raised since returning to Xiliang, for fear that if she is not careful, she will harm herself and her children.
At this moment, I heard Huang's suggestion to give birth in Xiliang and wait for the child to grow up for a few months before leaving, although I was a little disappointed that I could not return to Beijing with my husband to see my eldest son who had been separated for two years as soon as possible, but after thinking about it carefully, I still sighed: "What my aunt said makes sense, I will go back and talk to my husband...... Let Aunt He's family come with me, Heyue is too young. ”
Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said a few more words to her, and then said that he should go to He's side to have a look and retire.
went out and arrived in the courtyard where the He family lived, and before he went in, he heard Jiang Zheng's voice inside, and he was proudly showing off: "...... My daughter, the eyebrows, the eyes, the skin, is the sound of crying, which of these little girls in the yard can match? When you grow up, you will be a very outstanding talent! ”
Someone laughed and quipped: "We all know that Sister-in-law He is a beauty, your daughter is not bad, it just so happens that I have a kid at home, but it is also neat, why don't you marry them, let's be a family?" ”
"That's not going to happen! That kid in your family runs out all day long, following a group of stinky boys all over the world, if it goes on like this, when my daughter gets married, won't she not see her husband all day long, so she has to run the family alone? Jiang Zheng flatly refused, "No way, no way!" ”
Everyone laughed: "Isn't this old kid all fun-loving?" After Kaimeng, it is natural to restrain them from studying. Brother Chen's son is only four years old now, and he likes to run around, so it's ......"
When he saw Huang coming in, he stopped talking and came over to greet him: "Aunt Huang is here?" ”
Huang smiled and greeted them, and looked at them, they were all guards and stewards in Mingpei Hall, who were setting up tables and chairs under a thick locust tree in the courtyard, scalding wine, and placing a few side dishes.
These people all knew the relationship between the Huang family and the He family, and knew that she must have come to visit the He family, so after greeting her, they all kept her talking. Jiang Zheng said: "Is the sister of the Huang family coming to see Heyue?" Her mother is watching her from the house now! ”
"Just in time, come and have a look." Huang entered the house with a smile, and through a screen, Wei Changying deliberately pressed the north window of the glass window, and He, who was fatter than before pregnancy, was doing needlework while looking at Jiang Heyue in the cradle, humming a little song in a low voice, full of satisfaction and joy.
Huang lifted the curtain and went in, but He didn't notice it at first. Huang chuckled lightly and said, "Sister He, why are you alone?" What about calyxes? ”
Calyx is the maid sent by Wei Changying to the helpers of the He couple after He gave birth.
He Shi sighed, stopped Xiaoqu, put the needle and thread aside, got up to greet her, and said in a low voice: "There is something at home for her, so I will go back with her." Now that I'm up, there's really nothing to ask her for help. ”
Huang knew that the He family was used to controlling the maids, and he was not the kind of rotten good person who was neglected by the calyx and spoke for her. So after getting this answer, he didn't ask any more questions, and only smiled lightly and said: "Guard Jiang is showing off Heyue with people outside, and others are tempted, and they are going to marry you." ”
"The one who killed a thousand knives! He dares! When He Shi heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he scolded, "How old is Heyue?" Just find her in-law's family, in case the kid of that family doesn't grow up in the future, or doesn't grow up decent, wouldn't it hurt Heyue! Something that makes your bones itch if you don't hit for three days! My daughter hasn't been raised yet, and I can't wait to ask someone! ”
Saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out to teach Jiang Zheng a lesson.
Huang hurriedly grabbed her with tears and laughter: "Guard Jiang didn't agree either!" You temper! ”
"That's pretty much it!" Hearing that Jiang Zheng didn't agree, He Shi breathed a sigh of relief and hummed, "If he dares to agree, it's strange if I don't break his leg when I come back!" ”
"Guard Jiang is the young lady's teacher, and now he is also your husband, it's not a good thing that you always bully him like this, making him faceless outside!" Huang smiled bitterly and persuaded her, "Look at your brother-in-law, listen to me in everything, but outside, I rely on him for everything, giving him enough face, so when I go home like this, I want to discipline him, and he also laughs and listens - if you want to teach you a lesson, close the door tightly!" Otherwise, it will be spread that the Jiang guards are cowardly and afraid of the inside, you are fierce and fierce, and neither of you has a good reputation! In the future, Heyue is older, and it is shameless to play with his companions. ”
He snorted, "I'm only beating him in the yard now." ”
"You're going to put this sex as soon as possible. Let's change it! Do you think that Zhu Lei is still in the imperial capital now, and when we go back, let him know that you bullied his master so much, and Jiang Guards are afraid that even the apprentices will look down on him? Huang shook his head.
He pouted: "If that kid dares to be so ungrateful and deceive his teacher and destroy his ancestors, I, who is a teacher, can't spare him!" ”
However, she had always listened to Huang's words, and after her mouth hardened, she softened her tone, "I'll remember it next time." ”
The Huang family knew that the nature of the country was easy to change, and he didn't expect the He family to remember that he would have to leave enough dignity for Jiang Zheng in front of people in the future, so he didn't talk about it anymore, and said: "I have already told the young lady about what you were worried about last time, and the young lady promised that after the son-in-law comes back today, she will discuss with the son-in-law." ”
"Really?" He Shi was overjoyed and said in a low voice, "Then ...... of us?" ”
"The young lady herself wants to return to the imperial capital later, so you will naturally follow." Huang smiled, "Now you and the Jiang guards don't have to worry about the problems on this road." By the beginning of spring next year, there will be eight months in the lotus month. Miss Wusun was not full of weeks when she was brought to Xiliang by the eldest lady, isn't it good? What's more, Heyue is much stronger than Miss Wusun. ”
He was relieved that his own flesh and blood were worried about Wei Changying's second son: "The fourth grandson? ”
"Young lady Hengzhu has to go back later, a few months late, and it won't be anything later. Madame loves her grandchildren so much, she will definitely not be allowed to do so. Huang said.
…… In fact, although she handled this matter and told the He family, it was not the He family who initially suggested that Wei Changying return to the imperial capital in the evening, but Jiang Zheng. Jiang Zheng mentioned this, naturally because he felt sorry for his wife and daughter. He gave birth to Jiang Heyue in June, and the confinement in July, although he was able to go down to the ground to do things, but in September he traveled a long way, even if he was in a carriage, but it was also hard.
In addition, Jiang Heyue, who was only three months old in September, Jiang Zheng had been alone for most of his life, and he only got married under the disciple Zhu Lei's chaotic mandarin duck score. It's easy to get a daughter, so naturally I love it a lot, and I don't want my wife and daughter to endure hardships and risks. It was because he found the Huang family to discuss, hoping that the Huang family could say a favor in front of Wei Changying, so that their family could return to Beijing as soon as possible - in this way, the Huang family, who was thinking about how to pack up the two carriages to be safe, felt that it would be better to let Wei Changying stay in Xiliang for a few more days.
After the Huang family finished his work, he came over to say something.
He nodded and said: "The valve owner and his wife have a young grandson, and now only our young lady has two sons among the married people in the third room, and when I return to Beijing this time, I am afraid that the valve owner and his wife will not be able to close their mouths." ”
"This is a good thing, but the big house and the second room are afraid that their eyes will be hot again." Huang smiled and said, "When I return to Beijing, I'm still annoying." ”
"The big house and the second room are hot, who said that the eldest son and the second son are not as capable as our son?" He Shi disagreed, and said, "If the eldest young lady and the second young lady can't think about it, our third room is not easy to mess with." ”
The He family has always been aggressive, and the big room and the second room are looking for trouble, not only is she not worried, but she is also eager to coerce Shen Zangfeng as the next lord of the ironclad lord, and the third room has a second grandson and a quasi-fourth grandson, which room dares to provoke, it is all self-deprecating!
Although the Huang family is not as eager to fight as the He family, he is not afraid of provocation, and said with a smile: "I just want to remind you, we have also lived a year of leisure time here in Xiliang." When I go back, I don't have such a leisurely place. ”
"Sister Huang, don't worry, after I go back, I will invite a nurse for Heyue, and I will still go to the young lady to serve, and I will never make a mistake." He reassured.
