Chapter 168: Raising a Baby
After the lord of Duanshu came to the Lu Mansion to see Mrs. Xiao Lu, there were rumors in the capital, saying that after the lord of Duanshu County probed the situation of his only son Lu Wei in the northwest, he was very worried and worried, and went to the temple to divinate the hexagram to the sky, and invited the monks to explain the hexagram, asking their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to close the door and not go out, recite the scriptures in Rusu, sincerely worship the Buddha for 100 days, and kneel in front of the Buddha every day to pray to the Buddha in order to bless Lu Wei's safety.
"It must be that the county lord of Duanshu looks down on Zhang Yuqing, a daughter-in-law born with mud legs!" When Zhang Yuying went to the queen to ask for peace, she heard about this and was very gloating, "My cousin, I really don't know what to say about her, she is stupid and stupid, she can't even give birth to a child, which mother-in-law will like her!" It's not good to marry anyone! ”
The queen looked at Zhang Yuying's shallow and ignorant appearance, sighed deeply, held her forehead silently, and asked for a while: "Yesterday, Mrs. Lu Wei entered the palace, what was wrong?" ”
Zhang Yuying was stunned for a moment, and said tentatively: "It's nothing unusual, it's just that the daughter-in-law is pretending to be forced when she looks at her, Lu Wei doesn't want to see her at all, and she has another woman to serve in the barracks!" ”
The queen frowned and muttered, "The spies we sent to Liangzhou have never mentioned this matter, but her name is spread everywhere......
Zhang Yuying's heart was empty, and she hurriedly said: "Those ordinary people don't understand anything, they are screaming!" What kind of virtue my cousin is, can I not know? In order to stabilize Liangzhou, Lu Wei made up everything he said! I think he is a wolf with ambition, and his wife is a mother, so what is he? ”
How could that mud leg have any great achievements? Those who deceive are deceitful!
"She just wants to learn from me!" Zhang Yuying said again, "Before she married Lu Wei, she was very envious of me for having the name of the fourth lady in the capital, but now that she is married and has become the wife of a second-class master, she has benefited from it, so she wants to make her face bright!" ”
According to Zhang Yuying's opinion, what kind of unicorn Niangniang and her four sisters in the capital are a routine at all.
"Forget it, as long as Duan Shu and Mrs. Xiao Lu are in the capital!" The queen waved her hand, and she didn't care whether Lu Wei really loved Zhang Yuqing or was pretending, "The emperor is dead, the prince is in charge of the country, and the responsibility is heavy, you and I are vigilant!" ”
Zhang Yuying was overjoyed in her heart and didn't dare to show it.
When the news of the emperor's death can be announced, it will be the time when the crown prince ascends the throne. At that time, she will be the queen of Great Xia, the mother of the world, and she will be the person with the highest status except for the queen and the crown prince.
Duan Shu came out and locked up Zhang Yuqing in the name of her mother-in-law, and it was not good for the palace to announce that Zhang Yuqing would enter the palace again.
Lu Dewen never came to Zhang Yuqing to put his father-in-law's score in front of him, probably because he was weak in the face of Duan Shu. Several of Lu Dewen's aunts came over and scolded Huai and said that Zhang Yuqing was not filial.
Duan Shu didn't even show her face, so she let the maid give her a few slaps and drove her away, claiming that if she dared to disturb their mother-in-law Qingxiu and pray for Lu Wei, she would exercise the power of the Lu family's housewife and sell her aunt.
The temple was completely cleaned.
Duan Shu acted vigorously and resolutely, and took care of Zhang Yuqing properly.
On this day, Du Jingyi sent a letter to Zhang Yuqing, saying that it was sent from outside, and the person who wrote the letter was Zhang Yuqing's cousin, whose maiden name was Luo.
Zhang Yuqing's belly grew bigger day by day, and she was tormented by morning sickness to the point of pain, and at this moment, her spirit was shocked, and she reached out and took the letter.
The letter was indeed written to her by Luo Danxia.
Luo Danxia's husband was waiting in the capital, and she also came to the capital with her husband. Previously, because of Zhang Yuqing's sensitive identity, her husband was at a critical moment waiting for appointment, so it was difficult to visit Zhang Yuqing.
However, after hearing the more and more exaggerated rumors, Luo Danxia couldn't help but worry about Zhang Yuqing, and asked people to quietly send a letter over, wanting to ask Zhang Yuqing how she is now, but what do you need her help to do.
There is a sense of worry but helplessness between the lines.
Zhang Yuqing replied to her, saying that she was fine, her mother-in-law did not feel sorry for her, asked her to rest assured, and praised her for her good handwriting now, beautiful and elegant, which shows that she has worked hard to practice calligraphy in the past two years.
Luo Danxia's reply arrived quickly, and this time the handwriting of the letter was completely different. In the letter, she said that it was her husband who wrote the letter before, and she knew that her handwriting was poor, and she heard that her brother had said that Yuqing's cousin's handwriting was excellent and her style was excellent, so she was embarrassed to show her ugliness in front of Yuqing's cousin, so she asked her father-in-law to write it for her.
It's just that Yuqing's cousin praised her for her good handwriting, she was so embarrassed, so she wrote a reply by herself, hoping that Yuqing's cousin would not dislike it. She also said that her brother has been preparing for the exam in Wu County all these years, and he basically closed his door to prepare for next year's Spring Festival.
It's just that after this sentence, the rest of the letter seems to have been cut off, leaving only a raw edge.
"It's going to be spring next year...... Zhang Yuqing put down the letter, feeling that time flies so fast.
She wrote a reply to Luo Danxia, once again emphasizing that she was all right, so that Luo Danxia could rest assured, now that the capital is an eventful time, it is better not to come to see her.
Time passed day by day, and the people of Baochuan secretly brought Lu Wei's handwritten letter to Zhang Yuqing. Lu Wei's letter to the lord of Duanshu was three pages thick, and there was only one page for her, a large white paper with iron and silver hooks on it, and a few big characters - wait for me to pick you up.
Zhang Yuqing didn't give up, turned over the paper and read it a few times with a tiger face, and almost laughed angrily, it was really just these five words. Zhang Yuqing touched her bulging belly, and secretly said that she had worked so hard to give birth to Lu Wei, and Lu Wei would give her five words!
She's great!
Lord Duanshu watched the expression on Zhang Yuqing's face change, shook his head with a smile, and slapped his letter in front of his daughter-in-law, "Take a look!" ”
Zhang Yuqing was shocked, "Isn't this okay?" ”
Their mother and son's letters, what is there to see about her?
Lord Duanshu took out the letter from the envelope, handed it to her, and teased: "Three pages are full, except for the first sentence to ask the old mother how well, the rest are telling me to take good care of you, I really gave birth to a good son!" ”
Wang Ba calf, I have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother!
Zhang Yuqing's face turned red, and he stuffed the letter back into the hand of the Duanshu County Lord, muttering, "I don't read it!" ”
Lord Duanshu patted Zhang Yuqing's hand and said with a smile: "My son, he looks shrewd, but he is actually a fool, you can't lose anything with him!" ”
At night, Zhang Yuqing tossed and turned, she always felt that Lu Wei was angry with her, angry that she left Liangzhou when he was away.
Even if the holy decree was what, she could find an excuse not to leave, send someone to send a letter to Lu Wei, and drag it until Lu Wei came back. Even if Lu Wei took away the elite of Liangzhou, there were still more than 100,000 garrisons, and the emperor was overwhelmed by the rebellion of the vassal king and the uprising of the Red Lotus Sect, and it was impossible to do anything to Liangzhou.
But she still went with the flow.
When she left, she was determined to die, and embarked on the long-awaited journey of revenge without hesitation.
The night was heavy and cold, and Zhang Yuqing shrank in the quilt, missing Lu Wei's fiery body very much.
I don't know when I'll see Lu Wei again......
If it was possible, she hoped that Lu Wei and Duan Shu would never know what she had done. Lu Wei and Duan Shu both considered themselves to be the courtiers of Great Xia, and they would not approve of the murder of the monarch she had done.
Zhang Yuqing fell asleep deeply, but she slept unsteadily, first dreamed that on the day Lu Wei went on the expedition, she stood on the city tower to see him off, Lu Wei turned around and smiled at her, and then dreamed that Lu Wei was fighting with the Hu people on the battlefield, his handsome face was cold and grim, stained with blood splashed, like a jade-faced Shura who came out of hell.
I don't know if he's injured or not...... Zhang Yuqing was nervous and frightened in her dream, and when she woke up, she found that she was in a cold sweat on the cold day.
The moonlight of the winter night is cold and white, shining into the room through the window, the beaded curtains gently swaying with the night breeze, and the vase with red plums on the table reflects the soft light, and the light and shadow are handed over, quiet and silent.
Zhang Yuqing reached out and touched his chest, and his heart was still beating in fear.
She wrapped her quilt tightly and chuckled to herself.
When she went to Jingzhou to assassinate Emperor Taichang, she was bent on dying, her heart was as hard as a stone, and she didn't think about anyone at all, but now that her revenge has come to an end, she has a big heart, and her mind is alive again, weak, and she begins to covet her husband's love and tolerance.
She is also a layman.
Zhang Yuqing closed her eyes, and what appeared in front of her was Lu Wei's kebab carefully pleasing her, and the ruthless and unkind ruler actually had a gentle and considerate heart, and was essentially an innocent fool.
The love that has been bits and pieces over the years is not fake. She didn't believe that Lu Wei would reunite with Zhang Yuying.
When she saw Lu Wei again, she wanted to tell Lu Wei that she loved him very much, not because of his high position, nor because he could fight well, as long as he was willing to know her and stay together, whether he was rich or poor in the future, she was willing to step on life hand in hand with him.
In the blink of an eye, it was the time of the Chinese New Year, because the emperor died, although the funeral was not announced, but after all, he died, and this year's palace banquet was not a big deal, and only a few royal relatives and close ministers of the Son of Heaven were invited to the palace for the banquet.
The county lord of Duanshu is not good at stopping Zhang Yuqing from going out in the name of praying for his son.
Fortunately, it was cold in winter, the clothes were thick, and with a pleated skirt, plus Zhang Yuqing was already slender, no matter from the front or back, it was impossible to tell that this was a pregnant woman with Liujia.
Before going to the palace banquet, Duan Shu accompanied Zhang Yuqing to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in advance, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were full of food before taking the car into the palace.
Zhang Yuqing bowed her head and followed Duan Shu like an angry little daughter-in-law, pouring tea and water at any time.
Duchess Zheng Guo next to her looked at Zhang Yuqing's dead appearance being suppressed by Duan Shu, and couldn't help but say something prickly, "Duan Shu, you are enjoying the blessing of your mother-in-law!" ”
She is not kind-hearted, mainly because Jin Yongkang came back and said good things about Zhang Yuqing. It can be seen that Zhang Yuqing is different from her husband Lu Wei, Lu Wei is hateful and hopeless, but his daughter-in-law Zhang Yuqing is still a good one.
Duan Shu's beautiful face flashed with displeasure, and she said hardly: "I am her mother-in-law, she went to Liangzhou two days after marrying my son, and she has not been a daughter-in-law for a day!" Now that I'm back, if I don't serve my mother-in-law, will I still be a daughter? ”
