Chapter 114: Ling Pei
The county magistrate was depressed: "If you fall into the evil, what is the solution?" ”
Yue Huaiyin said softly: "Give it a try, ask the goddess to chant a spell and cast a spell, and invite the plague god away, what do you see?" ”
The county magistrate hurriedly said: "Master, I am an official of the imperial court, I can't believe these ......"
"My lord, I just think of Huaiyin as a heart, and I hope you will be healthy as soon as possible." Yue Huaiyin said with a smile, "If it has nothing to do with you, if it is spiritual, it is Huaiyin's sincerity that has moved God." ”
The county lord frowned: "Okay, give it a try." ”
Yue Huaiyin was secretly happy in his heart, this foolish thing was really led by his nose step by step.
The next morning, Xiaowan got up to the cradle to watch the child, the little one slept soundly, but his hands and arms were stretched out to expose the swaddling clothes, fortunately there was a charcoal stove in the house, but it was not cold.
It's just that......
"Xianggong, come and see if he has grown up a lot." Xiao Wan dragged Ling Chaofeng up, ran to the cradle, and untied the swaddling clothes to reveal her chubby little body.
"It's a big circle." Ling Chaofeng frowned, "More than that, it's two laps bigger." ”
Xiaowan stretched out his hand to hug his son, heavy, much heavier than yesterday, the child was awakened, looked at them in a daze, and then went to pull Xiaowan's clothes to feed.
Ling Chaofeng patted him lightly on the buttocks: "So you're welcome? ”
Xiaowan couldn't stand and hug, so she could only sit down and let her son eat in her arms.
I don't know if it's an illusion, she felt that her son's horns seemed to be smaller, so she asked Ling Chaofeng: "Xianggong, will the horns disappear when he grows up?" ”
Ling Chaofeng said: "Even if the horns disappear one day, but he grows too fast, I'm afraid that if you wake up tomorrow morning, he will be able to walk." ”
Xiaowan smiled: "Is that a blink of an eye, older than me, to be able to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
Naturally, this is not something to be happy about, growing up at such a speed, it will be strange to stay here sooner or later, but even if you go elsewhere, people will be curious. The only way for them to do this is to go to a place where there is no one and wait for the child to grow up to a speed that will no longer be a hundred days a night before they can see people.
Or, in this life, he is in the mountains and never sees anyone again.
"I'm going to move the contents of the cellar these days, so you have to be careful at home. If they come, they can be perfunctory, but they can't do it, and they can only tell the truth. Ling Chaofeng told Xiao Wan, "Too many people are not on the road, but if Su Su and they are willing to go with us, when we settle down, they will come to pick them up." You can discuss these things with Su Su, or wait for me to come back and everyone will talk about them together. ”
Xiaowan wrote it down, told Xianggong to be careful, hugged his well-fed son, and waved to him.
Aunt Zhang happened to go upstairs and said with a smile: "The name of the child, have you thought about it?" ”
Xiaowan said: "I forgot about it." ”
Ling Chaofeng said: "I thought about it last night, he came with rain, and his name was Ling Pei." ”
Afraid that Xiao Wan would not recognize this word, he went to the table to take a pen and paper and write it down, Xiao Wan muttered: "So many strokes." ”
But she liked it very much, and hugged her son and called him: "Pei'er, you have a name, Pei'er, Pei'er." ”
The little guy listened happily, and didn't know if he understood, Aunt Zhang was surprised that he had grown so much overnight, and after looking closely, she also muttered: "The horns on his head, is it a little smaller?" ”
Xiaowan looks forward to the day when the pair of horns can disappear completely, and hopes that her son can live like a normal person, but he grows too fast, and she is afraid that one day, she will grow more than her and her husband.
At dawn, Daqing drove the cart and sent Su Su here, it turned out that Daqing heard people at the dock yesterday that Foreman Mu said that her daughter, that is, the shopkeeper of the Lingxiao Inn, was born.
They asked Daqing if he knew, Daqing came to the inn, but saw that the door was closed, he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so he went back to discuss with Su Su and decided to come and see this morning.
Su Su was asked by Xiaowan to have a baby at home, and she didn't come to work these days, she also wondered why Xiaowan gave birth, but she didn't report the good news to Baisha Village, and she had to come and see it today anyway, she was also worried about whether there was anything else that she couldn't tell others, so she didn't bring Aunt Chen.
Su Su went upstairs, Pei'er was already asleep in the cradle, Xiao Wan came to greet her, Su Su said in surprise: "Why did you go to the ground, you should lie on the bed, why are you so careless in confinement." ”
"I'm fine, I'm ......" Xiaowan didn't know how to explain, and Su Su had already walked to the cradle, holding the cradle and smiling, "It's really a big fat son, how can he be seven or eight months old, no wonder you worked so hard when you were pregnant." ”
Xiaowan said embarrassedly: "Yes, I am tired to death." ”
Su Su looked at her, although her complexion was not very good, but she didn't look like a postpartum person at all, she felt a little strange, reached out and wanted to hug the child, Xiaowan said: "He, he just fell asleep, and it's time to make trouble when he wakes up, Su Su, you can hold him later." ”
"It's okay, I'm not going to hold a baby yet." Su Su smiled, stretched out his hand to tease, and the sleeping little doll, seeing that his head was tightly wrapped, reached out and pushed it away, and said, "Your house is burning charcoal and it is hot, is it too tightly covered." ”
"Su Su ......" Xiaowan exclaimed, but Su Su had already lifted the corner of the swaddling clothes.
Suddenly seeing a pair of horns, Xiaowan's heart twitched, and the child in the cradle also woke up, looking at Su Su with round eyes.
Su Su was unusual, and smiled happily: "Little girl, you woke up, do you know that your aunt is here?" When did you come, my aunt couldn't pick you up, my aunt hugged me, come to my aunt to hug? ”
Xiaowan looked at Su Su in astonishment, she thought that Su Su would be frightened, fainted, and ...... Wait a minute, can't Su Su see the horns on Pei'er's head?
"Ouch, it's so heavy, little chubby dun'er, you're in your mother's belly, but you're making her miserable." Su Su picked up the child and kissed him on the face, "Little guy with a tiger head, tell my aunt to see who she looks like." ”
At this time, Aunt Zhang came, she was ready, in case Su Su was scared and stunned, after all, Su Su was also pregnant, but when she entered the door, she saw Su Su happily holding the child, and nothing unusual happened.
Aunt Zhang glanced at Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan was also confused, and she came up with courage and asked Su Su: "Look, look at his head......"
Su Su looked at it and said: "This little brain is so high, he must be a big official in the future, better than his second uncle." ”
Xiao Wan's heart suddenly jumped: "Isn't there anything strange?" ”
Su Su smiled: "What's so strange about this, such a good face, others can't ask for it, you see his thick earlobes, he will be a blessed child in the future." Have you thought of a name for your child? ”
Xiaowan nodded stiffly: "It's called Ling Pei, the one with the word rain, the one with a lot of strokes." ”
"Pei'er." Su Su thought, she couldn't hold the child anymore, so she could only sit down, took out a long-lived silver lock from her arms, hung it on the child and said, "Pei'er, my aunt's family doesn't have much money to give you a gold lock, you can keep this silver lock first, and when you grow up and marry a daughter-in-law in the future, your aunt will give her nephew and daughter-in-law a pair of gold bracelets?" ”
"I've broken the bank." Xiaowan believed it, she believed that Su Su couldn't see her son's horns, she became bold, and said, "Let Uncle Biao bring your aunt and your mother-in-law too, and ask Daqing to come and see the little nephew." ”
Su Su said angrily: "I'm still afraid that something will happen to you, so I don't dare to call them, why did you suddenly give birth and didn't come to tell me?" ”
Xiaowan said: "The family is in a hurry, they are all tired and crazy, I gave birth to a child, and I almost exhausted everyone to death, so I forgot about it." ”
Su Su pretended to be angry: "Even I forgot, you can really do it." Then he looked at the child in his arms happily, made him laugh, and said that when his uncle-in-law came, he would pee his pants and be happy.
Xiaowan followed Aunt Zhang out, and the two lowered their voices to speak, if Daqing Aunt Chen and they couldn't see the horns on Pei'er's head, did that prove that except for the four of them, no one could see it.
But the eyes are on others, Su Su will not lie to her, Daqing will not lie to her, who knows if other people can see it, sure enough, this matter is unreliable, and you can't take risks easily.
Half an hour later, the inn was lively, Daqing and Aunt Chen they all came, surrounded the little guy, hugged and teased one by one, he didn't cry or make trouble, and laughed, Aunt Chen said: "It's only been a few days to laugh, and the eyebrows are still so open, this child, don't have any origin." ”
Perhaps, this was a joke, but it was enough to make Xiaowan scared, her son did have a background, didn't he?
When Ling Chaofeng returned from the cellar, he saw so many people in the inn, and saw Daqing holding Pei'er, whose pair of horns were erect, which was particularly eye-catching.
He was shocked in his heart, but he saw Xiaowan waving his hand at him, walked to his side and whispered, "Xianggong, they can't see it." ”
This is even more amazing, Ling Chaofeng is even more determined to leave here, if his son is really a dragon, what does it mean? Their family has worked for the court all their lives, what is the most taboo for the court?
"Daqing, Susu, you came just in time, I have something to tell you." Ling Chaofeng took Xiao Wan's hand and walked over, "The villagers here are very jealous of us, we plan to close the Lingxiao Inn and settle down elsewhere." ”
Suddenly said that he wanted to separate, Su Su was sad, and his eyes suddenly turned red: "Are you leaving?" Where are you going, far away? ”
Ling Chaofeng said: "We haven't decided where to go yet, but we have discussed it, if you want to go together, we will come to pick you up as soon as we settle down, but if you want to take root here, we will also send you news, and we will come back to see you." ”
Su Su was very sad and lowered her eyes, Aunt Chen and her mother-in-law didn't speak, and Daqing asked Ling Chaofeng: "Shopkeeper, went elsewhere, did you still open an inn?" What about the Ershan brothers? ”
Ling Chaofeng said: "This is all later, now, we just want to get out of here as soon as possible." ”
Daqing asked his wife: "Susu, do you want to follow the shopkeeper and them?" ”
Su Su said with tears in her eyes: "I listen to you." ”
Daqing immediately decided: "Shopkeeper, when you settle down, come to pick us up." Su Su can't be separated from Xiaowan, I can have food wherever I go, and I don't necessarily earn much here, so it's good to change places and start again. ”
Su Su looked at her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law smiled and said, "Of course I followed my son, silly child, you don't have to look at me." ”
Xiaowan is happy, Su Su is also happy, it is not too late to tell her about Pei'er in the future, at least she doesn't have to be separated from her good sisters, Su Su said: "We can't be separated, I look forward to giving birth to a daughter and being a daughter-in-law to Pei'er." ”
Xiaowan asked: "Isn't the gold bracelet a dowry, how can you be so good at calculating it?" ”
Everyone laughed, and the dull atmosphere in the shop dissipated a lot, at least for now, it was reassuring that even if Pei'er was seen, he would not find the horns on his head, otherwise it would be a big deal for outsiders to know that Xiaowan had given birth to a freak, and people regarded them as demons.
Ling Chaofeng stepped up to transfer the things in the cellar, and he asked the emperor to resign, naturally there would be news to the capital, the most regrettable thing for Xiao Wan should be that he would never see the queen again.
It was day and night, the county lord woke up, only felt refreshed, turned around at home, wife and concubines and servants all recited Amitabha, invited the doctor overnight, and the doctor also said that the lord was in good health.
The county magistrate turned his brain, and came to Siyun Pavilion against the night, only to see Yue Huaiyin kneeling in the courtyard, and there was an incense case in the courtyard. ”
Yue Huaiyin said with difficulty: "My lord, why are you here so late?" ”
The county master said: "Look at me, refreshed, I know that it is your role, of course I have to tell you immediately." Huaiyin, where did you invite the goddess, tell the master to take a look. ”
