Chapter Thirty-Nine: The July Heat
With the departure of the imperial queen's patrol palace honor team, this excitement dissipated, and the matter between Xue Cheng and the Yang family gradually came to an end. Both reached a consensus and agreed to reconcile.
Xue Cheng didn't like the Yang family, and he didn't keep it, and the Yang family also had no feelings for him, so many years were all because the two parents were enduring it, so he was relieved, and he was not nostalgic. Although it was a pity for Xue's father and Lu's family, seeing that the Yang family was resolute and his son had no intention of retaining, he had to agree. That Zhao Xiaoniang couldn't stay, the Yang family must have an explanation, the Lu family was very embarrassed, Xue Cheng also disliked her because he saw through Zhao Xiaoniang's face, and the Xue family abandoned Zhao Xiaoniang and sent her to her own family. The daughters-in-law of the Su family, the Qin family and the Qingrong family, didn't say anything about this matter, and when they saw that the matter had a result, they just sighed.
Before Yang left, he also deliberately found Qingrong and told her his feelings, although she and Qingrong are no longer concubines, but they still hope that they can continue to communicate with Qingrong in the future, and don't spoil the relationship between the two because of her. Qingrong naturally responded, and accompanied Yang for a long time, and she could clearly feel Yang's relieved expression, which was very different from before. After Xue Chengzi left, he rarely went out to eat and drink, and stayed in the house all day, but he also had a lot of peace.
For Qingrong, she has been quite stable during this time. When the Lu family was planning to find another family for Xue Cheng, the Xue family ushered in another happy event, the second sister-in-law Qin was pregnant again, which was a good thing, but it made Qingrong a little distressed. The Su family and the Qin family had pregnant children one after another, which made everyone set their eyes on Qingrong. Qingrong has been in the door for a few months, and he is in love with Xue Shao, why hasn't his body moved now?
Qingrong didn't know much about this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of the relatives and daughters of the Xue family every time, and listen to the teachings obediently. When everyone saw that she was obedient, they went from a few troubled words to worrying about Qingrong, and they all said that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. How important is it for this in-law to have a family and to have children prosperous? If you are still childless after three years of marriage, you are afraid of gossip and criticism, and even worse, there are not a few people who divorce their wives for this reason. The Su family still has a good impression of Qingrong, seeing that the Yang family is also gone, only the Qin family and Qingrong are left in the Xue family, Qingrong is calm in trouble, and the management of the back house is also in order, so she also wants to be able to make friends with Qingrong better, and help her in the future, so she is very concerned about Qingrong.
As soon as the days are about to enter July, the climate of Yongcheng has become dull, making the dry and hot day due to lack of rain more and more stuffy, because of the heat, there are few pedestrians on the road, and everyone is hiding at home, unwilling to go out.
The weather was strange, and people also suffered, Qingrong heard that her mother was dizzy outside, and after hurriedly explaining to Lu, she went back to her parents' house to visit.
When Qingrong entered the house, he saw Wang lying on the couch, and there was ice in the room, which was obviously much cooler than outside. Qingrong asked the lady in charge who was following Wang's side, and learned that it was fine, but it was due to heat stroke, so he calmed down.
When Wang saw Qingrong coming, he was about to get up from the couch, Qingrong hurriedly pressed her, and said worriedly: "Okay, Auntie, don't get up, just lie down in peace, I heard that you fainted, but it scared me." ”
Wang slept for a while, regained some strength, and said, "It's not a big deal, I've already asked someone to boil the decoction." ”
Qingrong is still not at ease, "On such a hot day, heat stroke can be big or small, and you have to be more careful in the future." I've asked the doctor, but is there anything I should pay attention to? ”
The lady in charge beside Wang said: "The doctor said that after the lady wakes up, she can eat some barley soup or porridge in the next few days, eat lightly, and clear the heat and cool off." ”
Qingrong nodded, "These dog days are the hottest time, and it's already unbearable, so I should pay more attention to this diet and daily life." I think A-Niang still goes out less and stays at home, if she really wants to go out, don't stay too long under this day. ”
Wang nodded, "Okay, you can rest assured." ”
While the two of them were talking, the people over there boiled the boiled heat-dissipating decoction and sent it. Qingrong served the Wang family, and did not forget to ask, "A-Niang, it's so hot today, what are you going to do out of the city today?" ”
Wang smiled meaningfully at Qingrong, and motioned for his subordinates to bring this thing, and Qingrong looked at it, but what kind of charm it was. Wang explained with a smile: "Didn't you tell me that the aunts of the Xue family all asked about your heir, I heard that there is a real person in this Taoist temple outside the city, and it is very effective to ask for an heir, so I thought of asking for a request for you." ”
Although she has some connections with Daomen, she doesn't believe all of them, Qingrong listened, and felt helpless, "A-Niang..."
Wang persuaded: "Even if you are not in a hurry, can your uncle not be in a hurry, and the Xue family can not be in a hurry?" It's about the heirs, so you can't help but care. "Qingrong is young, and I have seen many doctors, Wang knows what her background is, and some doctors have said that she may have a difficult time in terms of children. Wang has always kept it in mind, and now he is also anxious for Qingrong.
If you want to talk about the Xue family, he has indeed said it a few times openly and secretly, but Xue Shao, he has never mentioned it in front of him. According to his temperament, if he doesn't say it himself, maybe he is really not in a hurry. Qingrong saw that the Wang family had suffered heat stroke for this matter, and she blamed herself and felt helpless, "A-Niang, you have to worry less about this matter, I will take care of it." Don't I know my body? What's more, I've been conditioning for so many years. There is a saying: there are times in life that you must have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it. The matter of the heir, it is the same, it is useless to be anxious, it is better to go with the flow. ”
When she said this, the Wang family couldn't help but wonder if she had a grudge in her heart, and she didn't want to have an heir with Xue Shao, "Sanniang, you are married to Changxuan, and it's been so long, don't you want to have a child with him?" ”
This is not the case. Qingrong is not exclusive to Xue Shao, if she is pregnant and gives birth, she can naturally accept it, but if she is so impatient and concerned about this matter, she feels that it is not necessary, and she will not do it like this. Qingrong said: "Don't think about it, didn't I just say it?" Just let it be, some things are not in a hurry, this is what Mr. told me before, since you believe the words of that real person, don't you still believe in Mr.'s ability? ”
She took Zhang He to choke the Wang family, and the Wang family was really hard to argue for a while, she said: "How can I say that I can't control it, this talisman has been requested, you will remember to bring it when you go back later, do you hear?" ”
Qingrong didn't want to bother with this matter, so he responded repeatedly, "You just woke up, don't say so much, drink the decoction." ”
Seeing this, Wang no longer talked about it.
Qingrong came back today, planning to stay and wait for Lu Wenzhong to come back, and then go back after having dinner together. Unexpectedly, Lu Wenzhong came back with Xue Shao.
Qingrong wondered, "Why are you here?" ”
Xue Jialang was one of Li Jin's ministers on this tour, and Xue Shao did not accompany him. Seeing that his clothes were stained with wind and dust, and his breath was still a little uneven, he looked like he had come from duty. "I heard that my mother-in-law fainted, and you have already come, I am not worried, so I came to take a look."
Qingrong nodded, it was really difficult for him to have a heart. Wang was dissatisfied with Qingrong's coldness, and greeted Xue Shao with a smile, "It's not a big deal, it's just heat stroke, it's hard for you to remember, I have taken medicine this afternoon, and I have been much better." ”
Xue Shao nodded. Seeing that people were also coming, Wang left him to eat with him. Wang smiled and said to Xue Shao: "In the afternoon, the doctor told me to pay attention to my diet, I didn't know if you were coming, so I ordered the kitchen to make it simpler tonight." I'm afraid you won't get used to it, I'll ask Sanniang to add a few of your favorite dishes? ”
Qingrong looked at Wang and looked away with a little embarrassment.
Wang understood, and couldn't help but scold in his heart.
How do you know that Xue Shao also looked at Qingrong and said lightly: "Don't be so troublesome, Sanniang and I eat lightly at home, and we are used to it." ”
Wang replied with a smile, and then pulled Qingrong out of the room and said to go to the kitchen to have a look. As soon as he walked out of the house, he didn't go far, and Wang couldn't help but mutter, "Tell me, I don't even know what my husband likes to eat, isn't it too perfunctory for your lady?" ”
Qingrong felt wronged, "He hasn't told me about it, how will I know?" ”
"Don't say that I want you to ask, if you are interested, you will naturally pay attention, where is it that you don't know what to ask today?"
Qingrong said: "You said that I was not dedicated, but I also instructed my subordinates to take care of his diet and daily life, which is not enough?" "This is much better than when he first got married, Xue Shao had to pay attention to everything by himself.
Wang shook his head, "I'm just reminding you that you live this day by yourself, as long as you know it in your heart, you don't want to follow in the footsteps of the third brother of Changxuan." ”
Qingrong thinks that she is much better than Xue Cheng, at least between husband and wife, she has done everything she should do, and even she indulges him most of the time... Even if she is not dedicated enough, it cannot be said that she treats Xue Shao mean and is ruthless. However, Qingrong still took this matter to heart.
After the family had eaten, Xue Shao and Qingrong returned to Xue's mansion with a slanting glow.
Inside the carriage.
Xue Shao suddenly said to Qingrong: "In the future, when we go out of the house to live alone, we will choose a house close to here." ”
Qingrong was stunned for a moment, and then heard him say: "In this way, it is convenient for you to go home and take care of your parents." Hearing that Qingrong was in a hurry today, he knew that she must be very worried.
In fact, it is not far from Xue's house to Lu's house, and there is a square in between. However, hearing Xue Shao say this, Qingrong was still a little moved in her heart, and she hummed, "Thank you." ”
But if you want to talk about living alone, it may be a few years later, and by then you may be in charge of more than a dozen people, Qingrong can't help but think, this is really a big burden.
Back in the mansion, the Lu family also sent someone over to inquire about the situation of the Qingrong Wang family, and he was also relieved to learn that there was no major problem.
Thinking of the "things" brought back from the Lu family, Qingrong couldn't help frowning, and after thinking about it, he still asked Ah Zhen to accept it, and never mentioned it again.
Within two days, Yongcheng finally ushered in a pouring rain, sweeping away the sweltering heat of Yongcheng before. The rain came suddenly, and sometimes when walking on the road, the sun was shining one moment, and the next moment it could rain like beans, and it would be like this for several days.
