Between the ladies and relatives of the back house, the topics of conversation are nothing more than those few things, how are the family affairs, how are the husbands...... Back and forth, it's natural to talk about children.

As the patriarch's wife, Xu Ziqi's wife Feng also has a high prestige among the female dependents, and she is a nagging person, she hasn't seen Xu Shuhua for many years, and when she sees the chatterbox, she can't stop talking, and asks about the child:

"I heard...... You've been married to your husband for six years and you've only had one daughter? ”

Xu Chengyu is a middle-aged daughter, although Xu Shuhua is only a generation shorter than Feng, but not a few years older than her grandson, sitting next to her like a grandchild.

As soon as Xu Shuhua heard this opening, he knew which direction the next topic would develop, but after all, he was an elder, and it was not easy to prevaricate in the past, so he smiled reservedly: "Yes, his name is Gu Zhaoxi, and he is five years old this year." ”

Hearing this, Feng's eyes widened as if he was dissatisfied: "Are you five years old?" Doesn't that mean you haven't had any more children in the past five years? This can't go on like this! Shuhua, if you don't have a son, what do you take to gain a foothold in your in-law's family? ”

"It stands to reason that you are so young, how can you not have children for five years? Isn't it...... The elders stuffed a lot of concubines, so that your husband and wife are out of their hearts? ”

Feng has seen a lot of this situation, when the young couple first got married, it didn't take two years, the man's freshness passed, and he soon found a new love, leaving his wife alone in the empty room every night.

Feng is a traditional thinker, thinking that the wife of the main family in the big family, the husband's heart can grasp the best, it doesn't matter if he can't catch it, as long as he has the support of his mother's family, his son by his side, and his status is stable.

The situation at home is different, Xu Shuhua can't say too much, only smiled and said: "No, he is very good to me, he never accepts messy women, and the back house is very quiet." The reason why there is no regeneration...... It's because I lost my body when I was a child, and it was difficult to get pregnant. ”

In this matter, Xu Shuhua and his wife had a very tacit understanding, and said to the Gu family that Gu Yunji couldn't be born, and to the Xu family, Xu Shuhua couldn't be born. Anyway, it's all for the sake of the other party, just block the nagging of the elders, and only they know what the actual situation is.

Feng's face became serious, and he said with a sense of concern: "If you lose your body, you must pay attention to it quickly!" Find a doctor to take care of yourself, you can't have such a child in your life, right? I won't talk about it if it's a son, but it's a daughter, what will you do in the future? ”

"Men are duplicitous and deceitful, and now that you are all young, he is greedy for your color, and he says that he doesn't care about children. In a few years, when you get older, you are a child and have no face, and he can turn his head and look for a new one. If the concubine gives birth to a son by then, won't it climb on your head?! ”

Xu Shuhua felt a little uncomfortable when she heard these words, but she knew that she had different concepts and different positions, and Feng Shi was also good for her from her own point of view, so she avoided her husband's topic and said patiently and perfunctorily: "...... The doctor also looked at it, but only said that it was a loss of body, the foundation was damaged, and it didn't get better after a few years of treatment, so he gave up. ”

"How can you do that?" Feng's eyebrows were horizontal, "I see that you have a ruddy complexion and speak strongly, not like a person who has lost too much money, it must be that you didn't bother to find a doctor, otherwise how could you not be cured?" It just so happens that I know a doctor who is very skilled in medicine, especially in gynecology, so I invite you to come and take a look. ”

Seeing that Feng was about to send someone to ask for a doctor on the spot, Xu Shuhua was taken aback, and hurriedly pushed back: "No need aunt, I understand your kindness, what about so many people today...... Another day, another day. ”

Feng Shi realized that there were still many male customers in the front yard, and Xu Shuhua was a woman, so it was not easy to see the gynecologist in front of so many outsiders, so he had to press the matter and not mention it. But she was not at ease in her heart after all, and took Xu Shuhua's hand and chattered:

"You are still young, only in your twenties, and when your body and bones are the healthiest, you must be cured, don't be too pessimistic...... Of course, we still have to make preparations with both hands, in case it really can't be cured, we can consider taking a concubine for your husband and going to the mother and keep the child. ”

"It just so happens that your family is now in Shaoxing Mansion, this is the territory of our Xu family, and your mother's family will support you, so as not to return to the capital in the future, and the elders of your mother-in-law's family will look at it, and it will not be so easy to go to the mother and keep the child......"

Xu Shuhua watched Feng talk non-stop, from going to his mother and leaving his son to how to choose a woman from a good family as a concubine for her husband, and from raising children to being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.

It seems to be nagging, but in fact, it is a valuable experience that Feng has lived for most of his life, and it is very useful to ordinary women in the back house.

However, Xu Shuhua knew that his family's situation was special, and Feng's experience would not only be useless, but would be self-defeating, so he had to smile on his face, go in and out of his left ear, and make a couple of sentences from time to time, so as to coax the elders to be happy.

"Mother!"

At this time, Gu Zhaoxi walked into the door with a pair of small short legs, and suddenly threw himself into Xu Shuhua's arms.

Xu Shuhua took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her daughter's face, and said with a smile: "Now you know that you are tired?" I was playing hard just now, and I refused to ask you to come over and rest for a while. ”

Gu Zhaoxi smiled embarrassedly and obediently took the cup handed by his mother to drink water.

Feng Shi looked at the little pink doll that suddenly appeared in front of him, and said in amazement: "This is your daughter?" ”

"Yes, this is my daughter." Xu Shuhua said with a smile, and pulled his daughter over to greet him, "Xi'er, come and see your uncle and grandmother." ”

"Xi'er has seen her uncle and grandmother." Gu Zhaoxi said crisply.

Feng lived to be in his fifties, and he saw a lot of beautiful children, but the little doll in front of him was not only beautiful, but also had very bright eyes, big and bright, and his little face was flushed, obviously he had just exercised, and he exuded an innocent vitality and vitality from head to toe.

There is no shortage of food and clothing for rich and noble families, and children will naturally not be as thin as poor people, but it is not easy to raise health.

Gu Zhaoxi is different, his face is round, his cheeks are fleshy and he doesn't look fat, he is the kind of healthy weight that a child just right. His legs are strong, he walks steadily, and his hair is black and smooth, unlike a picky eater, and his parents should be very carefully raised.

Feng secretly appreciated in his heart: It seems that although Xu Shuhua is young, he still has a set of skills in raising children.

Feng responded with a smile to Gu Zhaoxi's kindness, looked at her carefully, and liked it more and more. His eyes fell on her feet casually, and in an instant, Feng's face changed, and he looked at Xu Shuhua questioningly: "You didn't bind your daughter's feet?" ”
