In front of the bed, Lishu saw Zheng Hao very excitedly pulling her to look: "Do you think he will spit bubbles?" You can see that his little nose is also bubbling. ”

Lishu said helplessly: "I know." ”

She said to her husband that she was very helpless, because the longer she contacted, she found that this person was a cold and noble son on the outside, and he was a Zhengtai on the inside, and last time he saw a dog on the roadside haystack, Lishu asked him to go quickly, he thought the puppy was very cute and a dog could still look at each other for a long time.

"It's a pity I can't come in every day to see you two." Zheng Hao looked at Lishu with a smile.

Lishu wished he couldn't come, she couldn't wash her hair or bathe during confinement, and she had a smell all over her body. Even if she wipes her body with hot water every day, she always feels that it is not very clean, and of course she doesn't want Zheng Hao to get too close to her.

Therefore, Lishu said: "You just go and get busy with you, just keep us in your heart, you don't know how touched I was when I heard you call me outside when I gave birth." ”

"I'm worried about you, too." Zheng Hao was still a little embarrassed, of course, he was justified in everything he did, and he was worried about his wife, so he was grandiose again.

"Yes, yes." Lishu held her face with both hands, looking very cute.

Zheng Hao feels that her every move and smile is very girly, of course, she is not very old, but many women are completely stable and serious once they get married, but she is still a very young woman unintentionally, and she always looks cute and cute.

Coming out of the main room, Zheng Hao went to accompany his grandmother to dinner, Mrs. Feng and a pair of daughters were there, after everyone saw the ceremony, the two girls of the Feng family went down first, leaving Zheng Hao to talk to Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Feng.

Mrs. Zheng has not had a second word since she beat Lishu and gave birth to her great-grandson, and often sends rare supplements in the past.

Therefore, after finishing the meal, she asked Zheng Hao: "Your daughter-in-law is in confinement, can't you be sloppy." ”

Zheng Hao smiled: "Don't worry, she has a small kitchen there, and there are so many people to serve, it's enough." ”

"Well, your mother has always been attentive, and you don't need my wife to tell me."

"If you can get your old man's orders, she will benefit immensely, and everything you say is golden and good." Zheng Hao acted as if she didn't care much about Lishu here with Mrs. Zheng, which was also for Lishu's good.

Mrs. Feng naturally understands this truth, and she knows that Zheng Hao is smart, not only outside but also at home. But as a mother-in-law, few are willing to praise their daughter-in-law, and even if they do, they are only a few temporary praises, and they don't want to see her son so attentive to another woman.

But who in the Zheng family doesn't know how much Zheng Hao cares about his wife, there are still women in the world who give birth to children, and men cry.

Therefore, Mrs. Feng also rounded the scene: "We have benefited immensely from listening to a few words here from the old lady, the old lady cares for her great-grandchildren, and the four generations of the Zheng family are in the same house, which is really enviable." ”

Old Madam Zheng has already experienced the honor of being favored at this age, and the four generations she wants to see most have been realized, and she can't stop smiling.

In fact, as long as Lishu gives birth to a son, the old lady and wife of the Zheng family will not care whether Zheng Hao accepts a concubine or not, after all, Zheng Hao is also so old, and the affairs in his room will be under Lishu's control.

Mrs. Feng thought that marrying into the Zheng family could be regarded as marrying into a blessed nest, not like other families who were having a hard time.

After accompanying the old lady, he went to see his younger brother Zheng Qing again

, When Zheng Qing was in good health in the early years, he also went to Liu's house with him, and now he saw Zheng Qing playing alone in the study, and he stepped in.

Zheng Qing has not seen the light of day all year round, so his skin is very white, and the white is almost transparent.

When he saw Zheng Hao coming in, he was also very happy: "Big brother." ”

"Come and see you, what, do you want me to accompany you in a game of chess?" Zheng Hao sat down.

Zheng Qing was flattered: "My brother really can't ask for it." ”

The two brothers sat and played against each other, and Zheng Qing asked: "I heard that my brother has been promoted to Zuo Zhongyun of the Zhan Mansion and is walking in the cabinet again, I forgot to congratulate my brother." ”

Zheng Hao arched his hand: "It's like walking on thin ice, what about you, how are you eating Imperial Doctor Dou's prescription now?" ”

"It's all the same, it worked at first, and then it didn't make a difference. Over the years, it has also been my body that has dragged down my family and my brother. "Although Zheng Qing is weak, he doesn't understand anything.

Zheng Hao sighed: "What are you talking about, we are brothers, if I don't do it, you don't care about me." ”

Zheng Qing hurriedly said, "Of course not, big brother." ”

"That's it, we are fellow mothers, and your sister-in-law also told me that if Imperial Doctor Dou fails, I will write to ask if there is a famous doctor in the future, and I must cure your illness. I know that no matter how good outsiders are to you, they are not as good as your own health. This was not what Zheng Hao thought, but what Lishu said.

No matter how good they are to him, they are not as good as his own body and bones, and it is better to be a person who can be normal for a day than to be so sick and crooked.

Sure enough, this sentence seems to be on the pulse of Zheng Qing, he has longed for the healthy body of his eldest brother and sister countless times, but his father is obsessed with the garden, and his mother now has a grandson, so he may not be devoted to his son.

Moreover, looking for a doctor and medicine is not a moment and a half, you must insist and find it with your heart, but who would be so attentive to him?

Now that he has received the promise of his eldest brother, Zheng Qing is getting better and better.

Zheng Hao was naturally happy.

Even Zheng Qing even ate an extra bowl of rice, but Zheng Hao was very busy, and sometimes he didn't have the effort to accompany Lishu, so how could he accompany Zheng Qing every day.

But he was a little dissatisfied with the Tan family, Zheng Qing stayed in the study for so long, she didn't even send someone over to ask. This is not a normal wife's attitude towards her husband, the Tan family relies on the Zheng family everywhere, and it is still today.

Just like when he was in the study, Lishu would not disturb him, but he often sent sweet soup and clothes, and even she was now in confinement, and every day she knew that he sent hot tea and hot soup too late in the study, so as to avoid being too hungry to sleep at night.

Zheng Qing has always been in poor health, and no one has taken care of him in the study for so long, which is really the fault of the Tan family.

But as the eldest uncle, he couldn't take care of the affairs in his brother's room, so he had to say: "Now that your sister-in-law is in confinement, I have no one to eat with me at night, so you might as well come to me." First, you also move around one or two to move your body, and second, our brothers also gather to see your little nephew. ”

Zheng Qing saw his brother say this, and his face was a little excited.

Tan came back from Aunt Qiu, and now Sister Qiu Shan is married to the palace, she is just a side concubine, there is no so-called return to the door at all, Aunt Qiu has a soft temperament, Tan either talks with Mrs. Zheng at Aunt Qiu's to talk about housework, or talks and plays cards together to kill time, which is better than staying at home alone.

Zheng Qing though

is not a healthy person, but he is not willing to stay in the boudoir, and the husband and wife can only have sex once a month, and they are always unable to go up or down, Tan and he are becoming more and more speechless.

Because she always felt that Zheng Qing was not grateful to her, but looked down on her, thinking that if he wasn't like this, he would never marry a poor woman like her.

Of course, this is just her personal feeling, and Zheng Qing has nothing bad to her.

Except for the last time she lost money and was beaten by him, the rest of the time Zheng Qing almost ignored her and didn't ask her, a pair of eyes seemed to be able to understand all her thoughts.

But when Tan heard Zheng Hao coming over to accompany Zheng Qing, he just smiled and said, "This is great, I'm afraid of disturbing you." ”

When Lishu heard this, she also sent a message to the small kitchen: "You should know the taboo of the second master, not only to meet the appetite of the second master, but also not to eat things that are contrary to the medicinal properties." ”

Where did the people in the kitchen know that, Lishu asked Imperial Doctor Dou to get a list of things to avoid and personally opened the menu.

She never does things overnight, anyway, there are several nurses who take care of the child, and she can't lie down every day, and her head is deflated.

Zheng Qing is the first time Zheng Hao has come to their courtyard after getting married, and the flower hall here is very elegantly arranged, and the people who can see the arrangement have a good eye.

The rice is placed here, Zheng Qing eats very light at home on weekdays, he knows that his sister-in-law is from Huguang, and he is afraid that it is all chili peppers, but he didn't expect the dishes on the table to be fresh and delicious.

In particular, a green plum soup is very delicious, and the maid who served on the side said: "It was ordered by our grandmother, and she did it once when she was planting mangs before, and the uncle also said that it was okay to eat, and I wanted you to come over today, so I specially asked the cook to make this soup." ”

The green plum soup is stewed in a pot with five green plums, codonopsis, jujube, poria and tangerine peel, etc., and some pure lean meat is added to it, which can not only strengthen the spleen, adjust the appetizer, but also regulate the effect of qi and dampness.

Zheng Qing said with a smile: "I am annoyed that my sister-in-law bothers me a lot." ”

Zheng Hao patted his younger brother's shoulder: "This is all as it should be, your sister-in-law is very good." If you like it, I'll ask her to copy the recipe for her younger siblings, and let her younger siblings make it for you. ”

Zheng Qing shook his head again.

Zheng Hao didn't say anything more, only talked about things that Zheng Qing was interested in.

Immediately, Lishu knew Zheng Hao's intentions, she said: "This kind of thing has to be done willingly, you still don't care too much, in fact, it's good for the patient to be quiet, if you have time, go to visit famous doctors for him, and cure his illness as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Hao nodded: "That's the only way." ”

Although the process of sitting in confinement was a little hard, Lishu's health was indeed much better, because she slept very early every day, her skin was actually white and pink.

Even the Tan family said: "Sister-in-law's complexion is really good." ”

Lishu dressed up deliberately, the top was an apricot white middle coat accompanied by a light pink bijia, and the bottom was an eight-piece Hunan skirt embroidered with red plum blossoms on a green onion and white background, with a meniscus bun on her head, and a drop-shaped hairpin on it, the whole person was like a delicate flower.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "How's the recovery?" ”

"I'm recovering well, thank you Mrs. for always being busy for me, I don't know how to thank you." Lishu's thanks are sincere.

The mother-in-law is both worry-free and takes care of herself, and the main thing is that she is in good health and has energy.

The baby also has a name, called Jiaqi.

Jia is because their generation is Jiazi, and praying has the meaning of praying for eternal happiness.

Mrs. Zheng said: "That's just the way to go. Brother Qi'er, it's windy now, you can't take it out. ”

Lishu nodded: "My daughter-in-law thinks the same way, speaking of which, when I gave birth to him, it was still September, and the clothes I wore at that time were still thin, but now it's winter, and I have to wear a cloak when I come out." What's more, he was too young, so I let the two nurses watch in the room. ”

"It's a good arrangement, and you should pay more attention to it on weekdays." Mrs. Zheng advised.

Lishu hurriedly agreed.

As for the full moon wine, it was not done in a big way, because Mrs. Zheng was afraid of doing it in a big way, but it would damage the blessings of the child, and wait for Brother Qi'er to be one year old and then ask for it to stand still. She was also afraid that her daughter-in-law would be angry about this, so she hereby explained.

Lishu said: "What you think about is that I heard that some children are born without even taking a name, that is, the children born in this big family, when they go out, a few ghosts want to come up and pull their hind legs, or they will circle around, so they are only called nicknames." ”

Hearing this, the Tan family was excited, and he always felt panicked.

Mrs. Zheng felt that what Lishu said was very reasonable, so she said that it was best not to take it out now, so until Lishu's birthday was over, Brother Qi didn't take it out much.

At the age of seventeen, the days seem to fly by, and Lishu knows that it is because of the problem of pregnancy, and there is only this one thing, so her days go by quickly.

But the best thing about confinement is to be with Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao saw that her little face was pink, so she kept punishing, and Lishu was shy of him.

"What are you doing?"

"Kiss you, it's getting more and more beautiful."

……

The husband and wife made a mess, and the next day they saw the traces on their bodies, and they both made a big red face.

Under the New Year's Day, she has to start to operate with Mrs. Zheng, she is not greedy for power at all, Mrs. Zheng will do whatever she wants, and she will not be able to intervene in anyone, only with a thorn in her hand she asks for a replacement, but it is also possible to convince the public, so the people below think that the grandmother is fair and just.

This year, Mrs. Zheng has been able to let go of a lot of things for Lishu to do, and Lishu can understand the meaning of Mrs. Zheng's slow decentralization.

If she is complacent, then Mrs. Zheng will secretly take back her rights.

Lishu did not shirk, which impressed Mrs. Zheng, some people either do things as if they were beaten with chicken blood, or they are afraid that they will take responsibility, but she is not arrogant or impatient, and she does not change her course, but she does not shirk when things come.

"Madam, here is the silver for the new tailoring, a total of thirty taels and seven cents, this year there are more Aunt Qiu's family and Mrs. Feng and two girls, so there is more money." Lishu said.

Mrs. Zheng smiled: "Well, this is very good, relatives don't have to worry so much when they live." ”

Tan calculated the account in his heart, last year, they only cut twenty taels of clothes in a season, this year there are ten taels more, and a year is more than forty taels, which is not a lot.

After all, it is public, and the wife is generous.

Lishu said: "What you said is that relatives can come to live, and they also trust us, you can rest assured, I have all applied it, and if there is anything missing, it will be made up in time." ”

Their Liu family often has relatives come to the door, yes, they haven't been back to their parents' house much this year, and Lishu told Mrs. Zheng that she wants to go back to her parents' house to see her ancestors

Parents are cloudy.

Mrs. Zheng said: "It's time to go back and see, when you gave birth, your grandmother specially asked your eldest aunt to come over." ”

Therefore, Mrs. Zheng asked her to take the gift and go back alone.

Mrs. Liu was very happy to see Lishu come back, knowing that the child was too young to come back, she didn't say anything. and grandfather is now at home, Lishu is talking to the second elder, talking about assisting Mrs. Zheng in housekeeping Yunyun now.

Mrs. Liu nodded: "Your mother-in-law trusts you, you have to make no mistakes as at home." ”

"That's natural, I'll just follow the rules and get things done." Lishu smiled.

Mrs. Liu sighed: "If Lizhen is like you, her life is not good now, and the daughter of the dignified Jinyi Guard commanding Tongzhi has been compared to a country woman." ”

"Country woman?" Lishu didn't inquire about Lizhen, these days have just come out of confinement, she has to take care of the children herself, Zheng Hao has been in love with her all day this month, so that she has no time to take care of him.

Mrs. Liu saw that Lishu didn't feel gloating at all when she heard this, and nodded secretly in her heart.

She said to Lishu: "That country girl is like a fish in water, everyone likes it, I have met once, although the rules are not very good, but there is talk and laughter, clever and lively." ”

Lishu knew what the reason was, and she immediately answered: "It's fresh, unreserved, and sincere, and besides, if you don't eat in the same pot, you can't wait for it to make trouble." ”

"That's true." Mrs. Liu is old, and the people who serve her also like to be lively, not lifeless.

The rest of Lishu don't ask, Lizhen's life may not be bad, she has a large dowry, countless henchmen who accompany her and the Liu family as the backing, and the Cen family can only embarrass her in this kind of trivial matter.

deliberately likes a family background that is not as good as hers, and watches her jump to her feet angrily.

If Lizhen is stable, she will win over a group of people to divide a group of people, and give birth to her eldest son, who can shake her status. But Lizhen's temper is difficult to say, and all good things have been done by her.

But she wouldn't show it, she had a few teas with Mrs. Liu, and went to see Zeng Yingxiu, who gave birth to twin twins last month and was in confinement, and Lishu sent supplements.

Zeng Yingxiu couldn't hold back and asked Lishu to go in and talk to her.

When Lishu went in, she only felt that Zeng Yingxiu had too many words, and she kept talking.

"My good sister-in-law, how long has it been since you spoke, look at my ears, you can almost hear through them." Lishu smiled.

Zeng Yingxiu said: "Sister Lu has come to see me these days since I was confined, and the living are going crazy." ”

Lishu couldn't help but say, "Why didn't the eldest sister and the fourth sister come?" ”

The Zeng family keeps filial piety, so it is understandable that Mrs. Zeng and Liwan are not coming, but Lijia has always valued face etiquette, and Li-Rou needless to say.

"Don't you know?" Zeng Yingxiu still felt strange.

Lishu couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Zeng Yingxiu whispered: "I heard that the eldest sister and the fourth sister seem to be at odds, so they quarreled and ignored each other." Moreover, the old man of the Wu family was promoted to the left servant of the ministry, and the old man of the Song family was begging for rest due to old illness, and the fourth brother-in-law and the eldest brother-in-law were extremely embarrassed to meet. ”

"It's amazing that they actually quarreled." Lishu shook her head.

Zeng Yingxiu also spread his hands: "I don't know the reason. ”

As for the reason, I don't know when I see the New Year.

Soon the small year passed, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and this time the name of Qi Ge'er was recorded on the family tree. Zheng Hao himself named his son Yixing, but his father-in-law took the name first, and he was also stubborn and called his son Xingxing in private.

"Daddy's good star, come, daddy hug." Zheng Hao looked at his son and smiled.

Lishu was making his favorite tea on the side, and said to him: "Let's give it to the nurse, Brother Qi is hungry." ”

"It's okay, I'm afraid he'll pee on me, you know, I'm not ordinary today." Zheng Hao hurriedly took the child out to the nursing mother.

"Oh, walnut pine nuts make tea. At this sacrifice, you must be the most handsome. "Lishu is very good at boasting.

Zheng Hao bent his lips, and said, "People who are fathers say that they are handsome or not." ”

Lishu knew that he was very happy when she saw him like that, so she said: "It's okay for our family to celebrate the New Year, but I heard that because of the discord between the eldest sister and the fourth sister, even the eldest brother-in-law and the fourth brother-in-law are also a little ...... So, when the time comes, you have to keep your eyes on the bright spots. ”

"Ahem, okay." Zheng Hao knew it in his heart.

Of course, the Zheng family is not very peaceful, for example, during the Chinese New Year, Zheng Qing fell ill, and Mrs. Zheng lost her temper again, saying that a pearl she worshipped in front of the Buddhist shrine was missing.

Mrs. Zheng said that the pearl also has a great origin, I heard that Zheng Shoufu obtained it from the sea, and after two enlightened monks, and later with the death of a monk, this pearl is also treated as a relic, therefore, Mrs. Zheng regards it as a treasure, often enshrined in front of the Buddha shrine, and prays for the children of the Zheng family.

"You said that it was a coincidence, this bead was missing, and Qing'er, who had never been seriously ill on weekdays, actually became seriously ill. It's enough to see that there is this pearl town house on weekdays, you must help me find it. "Old Madam Zheng is a little daunted.

Of course, Mrs. Zheng doesn't want anything to happen to her mother-in-law, if her mother-in-law has three long and two short eldest sons, she will keep filial piety, she agreed: "Don't worry, we have sent someone to report to Shun Tianfu, if someone steals it, it must be taken out and sold, as long as someone gets it on the market, we will send someone to watch." Besides, the fifth day of the new year is the Liu family's drama wine, I asked Lishu to go back and talk to her uncle, her uncle is Jinyiwei, and there is more news than us. ”

Old Madam Zheng glanced at Lishu expectantly, and Lishu immediately said, "I'll go back and talk to my uncle in two days." ”

"Then please."

……

What is this called, a wave has not settled, and a wave has risen.

Lishu went back to her parents' house very early on the fifth day of the first month, and went to find her uncle first, and told her about the situation at home: "Although Shuntianfu has taken over the case, we are afraid that some people will trade privately, uncle, that pearl is the treasure of my grandmother's town, if you know the news, you must tell us." ”

Liu Chengzong and Liu Chengxu have different personalities, Liu Chengxu is jealous and hateful by nature, has a very sense of justice, and likes to have straight hair and chest no matter how old he is, while Liu Chengzong often laughs on weekdays, but he is naturally a little gloomy, because he is a Jinyi guard, right or wrong does not matter to him, all he has to do is to obey the emperor's orders.

Sure enough, Liu Chengzong only nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Lishu didn't dare to say more and came out with Zheng Hao, and Zheng Hao didn't like Jinyiwei very much, because Jinyiwei was the natural enemy of civil officials.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them came out, they saw Wu Xuanhe and Song Mingji actually fighting.!
