Although the newborn baby was born prematurely and was born weaker than a human, it gradually became stronger after several days of careful care. Mrs. Xu also woke up the next day, although she was injured and lost too much blood, she was sober and could eat a few mouthfuls of porridge. suffered from this catastrophe, and the mother and son were safe, and the whole of the nine rooms was overjoyed.

It's just that this joy was quickly discounted, and the Xu family's mother's family sent a message that on the third day after the child was born, the Xu family master was gone. In order to treat the funeral, the Xu family could not spare manpower to take care of the daughter who had just given birth, only Xu's sister-in-law came to take a look at the sister-in-law and left in a hurry.

Gu Zhuang gradually appeared some gossip, saying that the time when the child was born was not good, it was actually the last moment before the night of July 14, if it was a little later, just in time to be born on July 15, it would be okay, but he was born when the ghost door was wide open, it was really unlucky, and as soon as he was born, he killed his grandfather, and even his biological mother almost lost his life, and his biological father was also contaminated with evil spirit and seriously ill in bed, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to raise him in the future.

Gu Yitong, the male owner of the ninth room, actually recovered from his illness in two days, and was rejoicing that his wife was safe again. Whoever he hears someone say such a thing will have to quarrel with someone. Within two days, the gossip that the fifth aunt and wife of the ninth room were kicked out of the door by her mother's brother spread to everyone in Gu Zhuang. Everyone knows that this fifth aunt wife is polite on the surface, but she is an unethical person behind her back, and they are all making fun of her secretly. As the saying goes, if you don't hit someone in the face, even if you have something in your heart, you can't say it in front of people? What's more, she is still the child's aunt!

In contrast, the attitude of the six-room expectant mother and the newborn is no different, the gift should be given a lot, and I will visit it once every other day, in terms of the distance between the two families, it is not hospitality, but it is not cold. Because Liufang has made great efforts to save people, when the clan saw this, they all said that the old lady was a kind person.

Mrs. Lu came to help people because of the rain on the night of the 14th, and after leaving the next morning, she ran to the Qinglian Nunnery to worship the Buddha despite hunger and cold, and prayed for the mother and son of the ninth room. Although Miss Nine is a child, her grandmother has a good upbringing, and at a young age, she is steady and polite, and she has a demeanor, and the ladies of the Gu clan who have seen her nod secretly in their eyes. Although the sixth room is defeated, but the foundation is still there, the two generations of housemothers are from large families, although the temper is stubborn, but there is no shortage of etiquette, and it will never delay the child's upbringing because of the poor family background, and it is really worthy of being the descendant of the Gu family's century-old family.

Wen Yi listened to everyone's praise with a smile on her face, and said a few words of modesty tepidly, but there was no abnormality on her face. She is not a real ten-year-old child, she naturally knows that there are many icing on the cake, and there are few people who send charcoal in the snow, and now it is just that the people around her are praising themselves along the tone of the ninth room. Therefore, she just lightly faced everyone's praise, and did not get closer to that person because someone praised her, but only focused on the main master, comforted the fifteenth uncle and father, and said that the seventeenth brother was very cute, and in a few days, he grew up a lot, and he will definitely be born strong in the future.

Gu Yitong grinned to the root of his ears when he heard it, and Wen Shun laughed like a fool, as if Wen Yi praised him, only Wen Quan was a little dissatisfied, complaining that his mother gave birth to not his sister, he had been looking forward to his sister for a long time. This fairy tale naturally caused everyone to laugh, and Gu Yi slapped him on the back of the head with the same slap, laughing and scolding: "What nonsense?!" What's so bad about my brother?! Wen Shun also persuaded him: "Second brother, the younger brother is also very cute, it would be good for my mother to have another sister in the future." ”

At this time, Dan'er, the girl in the ninth room, sent peanut cakes up, saying that the new peanuts that were collected after the hostess had ordered the guests to be entertained, and they were the sweetest. The ladies of the Gu family who came to be guests said that they were not outsiders, but they didn't forget to be polite, but Wen Quan had already forgotten Fang Cai's complaint, his two eyes were staring at the peanut cake, and he was still following his father to say that he would invite the guests to eat the cake, because his eyes were too obvious, Wen Shun secretly pulled his brother's sleeve.

Wen Yi pursed her lips and smiled at the interaction between their family, and her heart was a little gloomy, she was afraid that she would not be able to enjoy this kind of family happiness in her life. However, thinking of her grandmother's more and more gentle attitude in the past two days, her heart warmed again. It is enough to have relatives who truly care for herself, why should she envy others? Thinking of this, her smile grew sweeter.

After she said goodbye and left, a female guest who left the ninth room a little later, Mrs. Hu, whispered to the fourth wife Liu, who was traveling with her: "I usually don't think so, but when I took a closer look, I found that the nine girls are also very delicate, although they are not as handsome as the six girls, but they are not worse than the five girls." ”

Liu's expression did not move: "The nine girls are not bad, but now they are young and have not grown yet, and I am afraid that they will overshadow the five girls in a few years." Although the six girls are good-looking, it is a pity that they are not chaste and graceful enough, in the end, they were raised by a high-ranking family, which is different from a scholarly family like us. ”

Hu Shi laughed a few times, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "In fact, the girls of our Gu family are much better than outsiders, no matter what their appearance is, at least they can't make mistakes in knowing books and etiquette, and they are also very good at dealing with people. But the nine girls are too young, and so is the sixth old lady, who has already saved people before, and the clan can't pick the reason for her family, there is no one in her family, she is sick again, and she has to ask a few words to the fifteen brothers and sisters, mother and son, and everyone can understand, why bother sending a child over every day? ”

Liu glanced at her: "A ten-year-old child can also be used, and the sixth aunt is also a heart, in the end, she saw the born child with her own eyes, not to mention her old man, even if it is me, I can't help but take a few more looks." If you don't die, there will be blessings in the future, and the little doll is white and tender, how blessed? Don't my younger siblings love it when they see it? Those indiscreet words outside, listening to the ears are dirty, and the younger siblings should pay less attention. ”

Hu Shi said curtly: "What did my sister-in-law say...... How did I pay attention to all that gossip?! I also saw that Little Seventeen looked likable, so I thought about it more, where did I dislike him?! After a pause, he lowered his voice, "Liufang has always paid little attention to the affairs of the clan, but this time she has shown her face, but the old lady has never been very close to Jiufang, how can she come and go more before the fifteenth brother and sister give birth?!" After the child was born, she sent things to the door again, and she didn't know what to do! Sister-in-law, the sixth room is out of the house! Jiufang now has three sons, should the old lady ...... It's the idea of Little Seventeen, right? ”

Liu said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense!" The six-room house has been closed for many years, and how many people persuaded the old lady to go on her way, but she didn't respond, how could she think of this incident for no reason now?! What's more, there are not no children born in the clan every year, who is not willing to help the six houses with a few grandchildren?! The old lady didn't respond to anyone, how could she take a fancy to the child of the out-of-house family?! The younger siblings have always asked the sixth aunt to say goodbye, when you know who she is, this kind of thing will be mentioned again in the future! In case it gets out, how can you tell Jiufang to deal with himself?! That's a lifesaver! ”

Hu didn't dare to say more, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, Liu taught her a few more words, and then threw off his sleeves and left. It's just that Liu was walking home in a carriage, thinking of his sister's words, and couldn't help but think more: Liufang has always ignored the secular affairs of the clan, and this time it is indeed more conspicuous, first the servants of the sixth room found the master and servant of the ninth room in distress, and most of the medicinal materials stretcher and rain gear are from the sixth room, and the grandparents and grandchildren of the sixth room went to the ninth room in the rain overnight to help preside over the overall situation. This kind of deed, it is a coincidence, but it is too coincidental, right?

With the thought of it, she could no longer suppress the doubts in her heart, so she went to Xuanhe Hall to inquire by visiting the patient.

Wen Yi stood in front of her grandmother's hospital bed, and when she heard the question of the fourth aunt Liu, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. In order to save people that day, I didn't care about it for a while, and only afterwards did I remember that I had left a lot of flaws, but fortunately, my grandmother thought of an excuse for herself to lie, otherwise I don't know how to get through.

Because she had already had a belly case, she didn't panic much, and when she saw her grandmother's eyes looking over, she stepped forward and smiled: "The fourth aunt is asking, in fact, it's a coincidence, isn't that day July 14?" The big temples in the city have pujas, and there are tables for ancestors at home. Originally, my grandmother had prepared some pastries, seasonal fruits, cotton cloth and rain gear, and planned to go to the temple to give alms, but it was delayed because of the heavy rain. I thought that it would be okay to go to the offering again after the rain stopped on the 15th, but I didn't expect it to be used that night. A few door panels are because they are broken and cannot be used, so they are removed and put away, and when the weather is clear, they will ask someone to replace the new door. As for the medicinal herbs, they are kept for their own use. Now is the day of the autumn harvest, and every year in the autumn harvest, there are always people among the tenants who cut their hands and smash their feet. My grandmother was kind-hearted and thought that she would prepare more medicinal herbs for the tenants, which was also a good deed and a good accumulator. It is said that the fifteenth aunt and the seventeenth brother are blessed with great lives, and that night because the pastries offered to the ancestors at home were broken, and the grandmother suspected that the food sold by Boss Shi was not fresh, or shoddy, and she was angry for a while, so she sent Uncle Zhang to ask Boss Shi about it, and happened to see Aunt Jiu's carriage in Zhuangkou. If it were a different day, our family would want to help, but we couldn't help! ”

Liu suddenly realized: "I see, it really happened, and it was also the blessing of the fifteenth brother and sister, mother and son." ”

Old Madam Lu smiled coldly: "It turned out that the blessing of their mother and son was good, but now it seems that this blessing is in the way of people's eyes!" Our ancestors and grandchildren are just looking at the same family, helping Jiufang do some small things, the old fifteen husband and wife are honest people, and I am grateful for a few words of my wife, and it will cause gossip. If you dare to love my wife, she should stay at home for the rest of her life, and let everyone in the clan die, and ignore it?! ”

Liu's face suddenly became a little unnatural: "How can Aunt Sixth say such a thing?" This is a good thing, but where is it in the way of the eyes? ”

"It's not in the way of people's eyes, what are you doing when you come to me to ask me these words?!" Old Madam Lu stared at her, cold all over, "There were so many people who saved people that night, why did you doubt our family?!" Could it be that in your heart, I am a cold-hearted and cold-hearted person?! In that case, it is better to simply talk about it! If the big guys think that my wife is strange and ill-intentioned to save people, then from now on, I will take my granddaughter far away, no longer pay attention to the affairs of the clan, and no longer associate with you, just eat fasting and chant Buddha, and raise your granddaughter, so as not to occasionally make good intentions, so that you feel that you are being calculated again! ”

Liu's face was flushed, and he hurriedly got up to make amends: "The sixth aunt is angry, it turned out that her nephew and daughter-in-law said the wrong thing, but she was confused after listening to a few words of gossip." The niece and daughter-in-law knew that the sixth aunt had always been the most compassionate, and asked the sixth aunt to forgive the nephew and daughter-in-law this time! ”

Old Madam Lu turned her head to ignore her, and Wen Yi whispered, "Fourth aunt, your words are really chilling. My grandmother didn't think much about it at first, but she met Aunt Fifteen at Aunt Nine's house, and after saying a few more words, she felt that she was still in love, so she came to visit her twice. That night, I heard that Aunt Fifteen was in distress, and my grandmother went to visit without saying a word, if it weren't for the fact that Uncle Fifteen was sick and unable to take charge of the overall situation, my grandmother would not be nosy. After coming back from the ninth room, my grandmother also went to the nunnery to pray for the fifteenth aunt and the seventeenth brother, it was a sincere heart, but I didn't expect to complain......"

When Liu heard this, he was even more ashamed, and complained a little about Mrs. Hu, she obviously knew how the sixth room and the ninth room started to communicate, but she said this kind of thing to cause people to misunderstand!

Wen Yi looked at her expression and felt that it was almost over, so she turned around and persuaded her grandmother: "The fourth aunt is also confused for a while, and after listening to other people's words, she just asks as if she was joking, grandmother, don't worry too much." The fourth aunt has always been fair, and she treats her grandmother respectfully and politely, and she will never be the kind of villain who gossips and hurts people behind her back. ”

Old Madam Lu's face softened a little, and Liu Shi hurriedly said when she saw this: "Exactly, Aunt Six, please rest assured, with her nephew and daughter-in-law here, there will never be such gossip again!" Who dares to say a word, without the sixth aunt and niece opening their mouths, the nephew and daughter-in-law will scold back first! ”

Mrs. Lu said lightly: "That's it, the old woman's temper is not likable, and her actions are disgusting, you are just affected by me." It's also discouraged, these days, even good people can't do it. I don't know where I was disgusted, but my family was poor, and in the early years, why didn't we have a beautiful six-room? It's just that the old man didn't expect his wife and granddaughter to have today. She glanced at Liu: "It's not easy for you, I don't blame you." Speaking of which, although the long house is the patriarch, the clan affairs are in charge of the two of you, not to mention the hard work all year round, there are benefits, and it is not your credit. They are all the same miserable people, so why should I have trouble with you? ”

When he said this, Liu's eyes turned red, and he almost burst into tears, and he choked up: "It's enough to have Aunt Liu's words...... At least the suffering of our husband and wife, there are still people who know ......"

Wen Yi hid the look of surprise below, and endured it until Liu left, and then asked her grandmother, "Are you just ...... Why do you say that? Although the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are fair, they are just ......" She paused, not saying the rest of the words.

Old Madam Lu said lightly: "What else can it be?" It's just for the sake of good karma. The long house can't be counted on, and there are still a few people in the clan who can come and go. We first had a life-saving grace for the ninth room, and then handed over the second room, and there were a few honest ones in the side branches of the rest of the houses, which could be communicated. Grandmother will come forward to help you first, and in the future, if your grandmother is not there, you will not be without support in the clan. This is just the beginning, and there is still a lot to be done. She held back the sourness, touched her granddaughter's hair, and choked up: "If it is according to what you saw in your dream, is it because your grandmother is gone, or because you have a weak heart, that you will be bullied to that point?" ”

Wen Yi hurriedly shook his head, and his eyes were red: "It's just that they are uneasy and kind, and they have nothing to do with grandmother!" ”

Old Madam Lu sighed: "You don't have to coax me. After all, I am an edict, and there are always people in the officials who ask about it. Why should they ruin their reputation for no reason? After a pause, she suddenly straightened up, Wen Yi hurriedly supported her, only to hear her grandmother say solemnly: "What did you see in your dreams?!" And tell me everything in detail, no matter how big or small! ”
