Chapter II: Interrogation
A maid handed over the longan red date white fungus soup, and the lady took a sip slowly, before looking at the cramped and restless red plum, her voice was still soft, as if asking just a trivial matter: "I asked you to bring a nurse, why did you go for so long?"
Hongmei hurriedly knelt down and reported: "The slave knows that the young lady has just given birth, and she must be hungry, so she did take the nurse to rush back all the time, but when she walked to Liufang Pavilion, she ......."
Hongmei was talking in a hurry, but suddenly stopped talking, Xiao Chen felt so strange that she forgot to eat her milk, and stared at her curiously.
Madame seemed to see that she had something unspeakable, and sighed imperceptibly, and said, "You get up, it will be a big thing in the future, and don't miss Miss to breastfeed." ”
Hongmei's shrunken shoulders loosened, answered the word "yes", and was about to get up from the ground, but she heard the old lady say coldly: "Slow," her legs weakened in fright, and she knelt on the ground again.
The old lady looked at her like a torch: "Why is it only half of the story?"
Hongmei trembled and lay on the ground and didn't dare to make a sound.
The old lady sneered and said to Cuiyu: "Go and call your Aunt Zhou, just say that I have something to ask her, and now the masters and slaves dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb and not answer, is it all instigated by her?" Now I have subdued me, an old immortal, and then subdued other masters, and then I will occupy the mountain as the king!"
When the lady heard this, she didn't care about the birth, rolled off the bed, kowtowed, and said: "I beg the old lady to calm her anger, it is the daughter-in-law's lack of teaching that causes the subordinates to contradict the old lady like this." ”
A maid stepped forward to help her onto the bed and place her.
The old lady sighed: "It is good to be a master and be kind, but no measure is cowardice. ”
Cuiyu stepped forward and gave Hongmei a kick: "Hurry up, don't you have to wait for Aunt Zhou to pick your skin!"
Hongmei choked with tears and said: "When the slave maid took the nurse to Liufang Pavilion, she happened to meet the eldest master who was rushing here, saw the slave and maid, and asked the lady if she was born, and the slave and maid quickly replied that she was born, it was a young lady, and the eldest man liked it very much, and the two of them were asking and answering and walking towards the lady's yard, and Aunt Yan's girl Butterfly Dance came over, grabbed the sleeve robe of the eldest lord and said that the aunt had just given birth to a son, and it seemed that it was not good, begging him to take a look."
When the slave saw her like this, she said goodbye to the old man and brought the nurse with her.
Diewu said that they hadn't invited a nurse yet, so it was better to let the nurse go to Aunt Yan first, in case the boy was rescued, he would definitely have to be milked.
The slave and maid naturally refused, but the eldest master spoke, saying that the young lady on the lady's side was safe, even if there was no milk to eat for a while, it didn't matter, and she could steam the milk to deal with it, but the little boy on Aunt Yan's side was urgent, and took the nurse with her, and the slave couldn't, so she had to follow......" Hongmei slowed down, raised her head timidly, and continued:" The slave didn't dare to tell the truth just now, because Mrs. taught her on weekdays that the family and everything is prosperous, don't quarrel over trivial things, and let the eldest master come back from the next dynasty to have a quiet and comfortable life. The slave and maid were afraid that if they said it, they would inevitably have a quarrel of right and wrong, so she ......" She looked at the old lady earnestly: "Even if you borrow ten dares from the slave and maid, the slave and the maid will not dare to snub the old lady!"
The old lady was speechless for a while, but her expression gradually eased, with a little helplessness to do anything, and nodded: "Good girl, you get up, it's my anger that paints it, and the girl ring trained by my daughter-in-law is good." - You've been staying with that slut, has the little boy been safe since then?"
Everyone in the room looked at Hongmei with bated breath, and she shook her head gently.
Madame frowned and sighed, "It's a pity." "I refused to drink a sip of longan, red dates, and white fungus soup again.
The old lady's voice was as dark as a hurricane on the sea: "What's the pity, a fox will give birth to good goods? Not to mention that our Fang family has no shortage of his son-in-law!"
There are many people in a huge room, but the sound of falling needles can be heard.
The old lady stood up and said, "I've been here for a while, and my daughter-in-law is afraid that I'm scolding in my heart that this old man won't look at me, knowing that postpartum women are easy to get tired and sleepy, and they are still here and don't leave, don't scold, don't scold, I'll leave." ”
A room full of people laughed as the words spoke, and the previous repression vanished.
Mrs. smiled and argued: "The old lady said this so that the daughter-in-law has nowhere to stay, the daughter-in-law hates to be the old lady's personal maid like Sister Cuiyu and serves well, and I am afraid that I will be clumsy and can't get into your eyes." ”
The old lady smiled: "It's just a joke, how can you be so anxious that your face is red!"
The servants laughed and said, "Who doesn't know that the lady is the most filial, even the eldest master!"
Several servant women pushed the door open before the old lady went out, and saw that the old man was about to knock on the door. ”
The joy that was finally set off came to an abrupt end, and the old lady still smiled gently, but her eyes were cold: "Your daughter-in-law and I are just having fun in the bitterness, the eldest lord finally got home, first rushed to see Aunt Yan, presumably there was more coke to attract the eldest lord." After speaking, he didn't care whether the eldest lord's face was good or not, and he took a group of servants and left.
Xiao Tan looked funny, it was really a big family, there was something angry and annoying, and he would never spread it out and say it, like a break in the words, there were words that pierced people's hearts.
The eldest lord smiled at the lady embarrassedly, and only then did he open his mouth, but a little girl who was with the old lady just now turned around, blessed the eldest lady and his wife, and said eloquently: "The old lady asked the slave to bring a message to the lady,"
When the lady heard this, she sat down on the bed.
The old lady said that it was precisely because the young lady was born with bad luck that she had to send more people by her side, and as soon as she had a foot of yang energy, her soul would naturally be stable. ”
The lady went to bed and thanked her: "There is an old lady Lao who remembers, and the daughter-in-law will take the girl to the old lady to say goodbye." ”
The little girl walked backwards and left.
The eldest lord was so happy that his eyes shrank: "I heard that I gave birth to a daughter, show me." ”
The nurse had already handed the fed Xiao Tan to the lady, and the lady handed it to the old man with a smile.
The eldest lord stared at Xiao Tan with brilliance in his eyes like a treasure.
Xiao Tan also looked at the new father with good eyes, he was handsome, but he was indistinguishable from his original father, but he was younger.
The eldest lord tapped her delicate chin and teased: "Laugh one for Daddy." ”
Xiao Tan was afraid of itching, and he giggled non-stop.
Madame smiled and watched the father and daughter share the joy of family, and after a while, she suddenly asked, "Sister Yan, how is it?"
