Ordinary clear day

Chapter 245 Growth
The manager of the palace reported back, saying that the imperial doctor who was good at gynecology was so sick that he couldn't come here today, so he had to go to the outer city to invite the most famous doctor in the whole capital, but he didn't expect to see no one. His servant came to report that the doctor hit a carriage with someone on the way, and his head was broken, and now he is unconscious and unable to heal the eldest son Fujin.

There were several knots between Shuning's brows, why did everything come together?After thinking about it, he said to the manager: "There is a Guo An Tang in the south of Gangwa City. The doctor Guo there is very good at medical skills, and there is a Mrs. Xu who specializes in delivering babies. You should send someone to invite them." When La Shi was born in Yongrui, he was looking for them. Although Dr. Guo was not an imperial physician, he was the son of an imperial physician, and his family had hanging pots for generations.

The manager was a little hesitant: "The nobles in the palace never give birth to people from outside. If there is something wrong..." Shu Ning was angry, and no matter what time it was, she said, "Where is the closest to the palace! Even if it is now It will take at least half a day for someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Hospital to invite someone to come to the door, first find someone to save the emergency!"

The manager stopped talking and hurried away.Shu Ning tried her best to calm down, and suddenly remembered something, hurriedly went back to the courtyard to find Guerjia's big girl, Si Zhu: "Have you asked someone to report it to your sister-in-law's family?"

That Si Zhu was listening to her master's yelling in a panic, and when she heard this question, her eye circles turned red: "Since the prince forbids Fujin to communicate with outsiders, the master and wife have come less often, that is, the old lady came half a month ago." one time."

Shu Ning frowned, and said: "Why don't you let someone report to them? Go quickly, let your wife bring a few nuns who know things to take care of them, it would be even better if there are prostitutes and the like. You have always been a smart person , why are you confused today?"

Si Zhu hurriedly said: "I was confused. I thought that Fujin's mother's family is in Dongcheng, so it would take a long time to come. It's not as convenient as the second lady. I'll call someone right now." After finishing speaking, she turned around and left the courtyard gate.

Shu Ning carefully thought about what else to do, but hearing Guerjia's shout, she couldn't help being a little upset.She has also experienced the scene of a woman giving birth several times, but she has always been waiting for news outside. She has never seen the specifics, and can only make overall arrangements based on what she has seen.

Ergenjueluo came in at this time, brought back the nanny who had been invited away earlier, and said: "This is the Nanny Wang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let her go in and help." Shuning looked up Looking at the arrogant woman, she said coldly: "Then hurry up, the four of you were sent to take care of the eldest son, Fujin, and now this is happening, if I were you, I would have made amends earlier."

The woman's face turned pale, she saluted with a straight face, and went into the house.

Ergenjue Luoshi listened to the yelling of the people in the room with a worried face, and said in his mouth: "It's really worrying, how could this happen? Why didn't the waiter tell me? If I had known that the two nuns were sick , I have already sent someone to invite others to come. My sister still has a heart for me." After a pause, he snorted again: "Those slaves are so bold that they don't even look down on their master. They should Hit, hit, hit!"

Shu Ning glanced at her, and asked calmly: "Speaking of which, how could it be such a coincidence? Ying Gege invited the nuns to drink at this time? It's still broad daylight."

Ergenjue Luo said guiltily: "I invited them last night. In fact, if these people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not good enough to entertain them, who knows if they will do their best? I invited them twice, and I always keep people Take care of my sister. Who knew that my sister gave birth today? I didn't expect that the nuns would suddenly get sick."

"Then what's going on with this mother Wang?"

"Second Elder Brother has a fever today. I heard that Madam Wang knows some medical skills, so I invited her to have a look. After all, it's just a minor ailment. If I ask the doctor to prescribe medicine with great fanfare, my sister will definitely think I'm taking it too big."

Ergenjue Luoshi bit his lip, three parts difficult and three parts aggrieved, and four parts forced a smile.After hearing this, Shu Ning felt that she had misunderstood her earlier?After all, with Guerjia's character, it is very likely that he would not ask her for help because he did not trust his concubine.But what this prospective side Fujin said may not be believable.

Thinking of this, she slowed down her tone a little, and said to Yiergenjueluo: "Since the second elder brother is sick, Ying Gege should go back and take care of the child. There is nothing to do if you stay here. Everything is busy in this courtyard now. , I have to ask Ying Gegeduo to take care of the affairs in the palace."

Ergenjue Luoshi wiped the corners of his eyes and showed a forced smile: "That's okay, my sister saw me, probably... I'm leaving first, please let me know if you have any news, and just go to me if you need anything."

Shu Ning agreed, and she walked towards the courtyard door step by step, turning her head three times, but stopped suddenly in front of the courtyard door, and said, "Brother, why are you here? Go back to the house, this is not where you stay..." Before she could finish speaking, she was pushed aside, slammed into the door, and with a cry of pain, a three or four-year-old boy broke in.That is Delong, the eldest son of Yarjana and Guarjia.

Shuning hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him: "Good boy, don't go into the house, your mother-in-law is giving birth to younger brothers and sisters." Delong looked at her and said, "I want to accompany my mother-in-law!" Rush in the room.Shu Ning hurriedly stopped her, suffering from a headache, she couldn't help but glared at the woman behind her: "Why don't you look after Big Brother?!" Is this nanny out of her mind?Why let him make trouble at this time?
The lady lowered her head in a panic, and said in a low voice, "Little master is coming..." Delong couldn't shake off Shuning's hand, so he yelled, "Let me in".At this moment, Si Zhu came back, seeing this, he hurriedly hugged De Long, and persuaded him: "Little master, be obedient, the inside is in chaos, don't cause any more trouble, okay?"

Deron stopped shouting and stared at her.Shuning took a deep breath, and said to the child seriously: "Your mother's situation is very dangerous now. If you break in, you will only panic the people inside, and delay your mother. You should go back to your own room , or just wait in the wing room, don't be self-willed, you are no longer a milk baby, be sensible!"

Delong turned to stare at her, Shuning refused to give in and stared back. Finally, the child retreated and obediently went to the wing, rubbing his eyes.Shu Ning watched him enter the house, turned to Si Zhu and complained: "How can the mother who takes care of him let him go?" Si Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother always does whatever he wants, and no one is allowed to stop him. Fujin ...and always doting on him. How dare the people below go against his wishes?"

Shu Ning sighed, and suddenly heard Guerjia scolding in the room: "Where did you come from?! What do you want to do?!" She hurried into the room with Sizhu, only to see Guerjia with red eyes, With cold sweat on his face, he stared at Zhou Chang's house fiercely.And Zhou Chang's family, with blood on their hands, was kneeling by the bed and leaning towards her lower body.

When Zhou Chang's family saw Shuning coming in, they said, "Grandma, the little one just wants to see how long it will be before the eldest son Fujin is born." Shuning nodded, and said to the Guerjia family: "Sister-in-law, she is my companion. I have delivered many babies to my sisters-in-law, sisters, and cousins, and I am very familiar with it. Don't worry, you can't rely on only one nanny." Si Zhu also leaned over and whispered: "Fu Jin, your health is important, no matter what , the second lady is not good, is it?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Guarja gradually relaxed, even though her eyes still had doubts, and soon cried out in pain again.Shuning asked Zhou Chang's family in a low voice, and learned that Guarjia's family would not be able to give birth for the time being, so she said to her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about shouting, save your strength until the time of birth, so as not to use up all your strength now " Then he ordered Sizhu: "I brought the old ginseng, you can ask someone to cut a few slices, decoct soup or lozenges, let you Fujin add some strength." Sizhu agreed, and looked at Guarjia worriedly After a few glances, she went out and called a little girl to give some instructions, and then returned to the bedside to take care of her.

Although Guerjia yelled less, she still couldn't give birth, but she was bleeding all the time. After the doctor and Mrs. Wen arrived, the situation improved, but the dystocia situation still couldn't be reversed.

Although Si Zhu had been fed ginseng soup several times, and Shu Ning asked her to force-feed some rice porridge, but at sunset, Guarjia's strength was gradually exhausted, her voice became hoarse, and she could hardly cry out.The doctor hinted that it might not be good, Shu Ning couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.

Guarjia's mother finally arrived with people, and when she heard that her daughter was in danger, she kept crying and the scene became even more chaotic.Fortunately, a woman she was traveling with was very capable. Dang even brought a few women into the delivery room to help, and took over the on-site command work.Shuning half-delayed and half-persuaded Mrs. Guerjia to the side room and let her stay with her grandson, but Delong felt even more uneasy after seeing his grandmother in pain, so Shuning had to stay with them.

Delong trembled, and when he heard Sizhu calling his mother, he broke away from his grandmother's arms and ran outside the delivery room to call "Emiang".Shuning followed, and suddenly had an idea, and said to Delong: "Shout a few more times, louder." Delong did so, and Shuning shouted to the room: "Sister-in-law, this one outside is your own flesh and blood. , you are going to give birth now, if you can't hold on, what will you do with the child?"

Inside the house, Guarjia seemed to hear it, and his eyelids moved.Seeing this, Si Zhu rolled her eyes, approached her ear, and whispered: "Fu Jin, haven't you ever thought about why there is oil on the good ground? It caused you to fall? How could the nuns just get sick? ? How come the doctor just can’t come? If you don’t understand, if something goes wrong, the eldest brother will not be protected, and there will be no bones left.”

Guerjia suddenly opened his eyes wide, gritted his teeth again, and exerted himself again.There was a large group of people beside the bed, and Shuning's sister-in-law had experienced many things for several months, so she pretended not to hear.The people brought by Mrs. Guarja had fire in their eyes, and their subordinates were still busy.Only the two nurses from the Ministry of Internal Affairs blushed and turned pale, their hands slowed down, and they held back their breath and continued to work after being urged by others.

When Guerjia gave birth to the child, it was already midnight, and she passed out at that time, and everyone rushed to feed her medicine.The child was a little weak, and Mrs. Guarga recruited the nurse she had brought to take care of the child, and then went into the house to see her daughter.Shuning helped arrange the aftermath, and when the matter came to an end, she found Delong standing in the corridor, tears streaming down her face. ** Whispered at the side.

Shu Ning walked over and said, "Why are you still here? Your mother is fine, just weaker. Go back and rest." Delong sniffed, wiped away his tears, and said, "Second aunt, my mother is Didn't you almost die?" Shuning smiled: "It's very dangerous to have a child, and it was very hard for your mother to give birth to you, so..." After a pause, she touched the child's head: "Be filial to my mother. ah."

Delong nodded, turned around and left, and ** hurriedly followed.Shu Ning wanted to stop her and teach her a lesson, but she thought that this was someone else's housework, so she didn't say anything.

It was too late to go back to Beizi Mansion, so she spent the night in the courtyard where Tong Ying used to live.After working for a long time, her whole body was sweating, but she didn't have any clothes to change. She was very uncomfortable, and she reluctantly endured it.Fortunately, the next morning, Dongqing sent over a change of clothes. She wiped her body with a wet towel and put on clean clothes, feeling much refreshed.

She ate some pasta for breakfast, and went to the delivery room, but at the gate of the courtyard, Mrs. Guerjia and her group stopped Yiergenjueluoshi.The latter pear blossomed with rain, and she pleaded pitifully: "The woman was chosen by the son when he was at home, how can he change it temporarily? Could it be that the wife of the in-laws can't even trust the son?"

Mrs. Guerjia sneered and said: "The son is not here, who knows if he chose this person? The little elder brother already has a wife, so there is no need for you to be a concubine."

After hearing this, Ergenjue Luoshi became even more aggrieved, looked up at Shuning, and said, "Second Madam, come to judge, do I mean to hurt others? What's the benefit of me if something happened to Fujin?" ?”

Shu Ning asked to understand that it was because Ergen felt that Luo Shi had brought a woman to replace the person recommended by Mrs. Guerjia to take care of the newborn baby, but the latter suspected that she had done something wrong and refused to give in.She had no intention of intervening in these disputes, so she persuaded: "My wife, Yinggege is just bringing over the people arranged by the prince, so you don't have to worry about it." Then she said to Yiergenjueluoshi: "Since there are already There is no need to worry about changing the person. There will always be no problem with the person my wife finds."

Ergenjue Luoshi lowered his head and wiped his nose with a handkerchief, and whispered: "If that's the case, I'll take him back. I'm sure he will understand when the son comes back." After that, he called a young woman, Turned around and left.

Mrs. Guarja was very polite to Shuning and thanked her again and again.Shu Ning made some concessions, seeing that there was already someone taking care of the place, and she had nothing to do, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a new nanny, and the confinement sisters-in-law were also idle, so she took them away.

It was the third day that Guarjia woke up from the coma, and he had washed all three times.After eating half a bowl of bird's nest porridge, she felt better, so she asked Si Zhu to ask for a long time, and then asked someone to invite Shuning.

Seeing that her complexion was decent, Shuning greeted her politely, but her attitude was still indifferent.Mrs. Guerjia stared at her for a while, then suddenly asked: "Brother and sister, don't you ever think that you and I have always been at odds, if something happens to me and you are here again, others will gossip about you?"

Shu Ning was startled, she really hadn't thought about this question at the beginning, after thinking about it, she said: "Perhaps something happened to my sister-in-law, and I would really be suspected, but at that time saving people was the most important thing, so how could I care about these things? I have some quarrels with me, but it has nothing to do with the children. I can't just ignore the lives of your mother and son just because my sister-in-law is dissatisfied with me? I can't do this kind of thing yet. "

Mrs. Guerjia listened, and after a while, she showed a self-deprecating smile: "I was really confused before. You have already married in, so what do I want to do so much? You and I are sisters-in-law, and my man conferred the title of heir. You are living alone in the branch office, what enmity do I have with you? The quarrels are just to make people laugh." A stern look flashed in her eyes: "I have that spare time, why don't you think about how to deal with it? Those who want to take my life!"

Shu Ning didn't speak, but just pretended to wipe her forehead unintentionally.Guerjia raised his head and smiled at her again, and said, "Thank you brother and sister this time, I will never forget this kindness."

Shu Ning responded a few words casually, feeling something was wrong in her heart, so she quickly said goodbye and left.

After that, she only came to visit once every ten or eight days, and was not involved in the affairs of the palace.I just heard that due to poor care of the eldest son Fujin, the master had a difficult delivery, several servants were beaten to death, and among them was the coachman who went to invite the doctor.A few days later, it was rumored that the newborn little elder brother had a sudden illness. Although he was cured soon, a little girl who was serving him died.A few days later, it was reported that the arranged marriage was found to be seriously ill, and her husband and children were sent to quarantine outside the city.Then the chief manager of the palace was found to have embezzled a large amount of money, and he was kicked out of the palace after being punished dozens of times.

……

Things happened one after another in Prince Jane's mansion. Shu Ning was far away, and she was terrified when she heard about it. Recalling what she saw and heard in her natal family in the past, she realized that she was still too naive.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, she received a letter from Tong Ying from outside the Great Wall, and her heart was filled with sadness.She rejected Guerjia's invitation to go back to the palace for the festival, and she didn't agree to her brother and sister-in-law to go back to her mother's house, but stayed in Beizi's mansion.Watching the whole house celebrating the festive season, she smiled and handed out the rewards, then went back to the room.Looking at the full moon in the sky, she suddenly felt that she had never missed Tong Ying so much.

The weather is getting cooler day by day.While Guerjia's health improved, he gradually regained control of the palace.Her attitude towards Shuning is getting better and better.Shu Ning got along with her a lot, and found that she is actually a straight-tempered person, she will hate to the end if she hates her, and she speaks directly, but once she trusts someone, she will treat that person as a close friend.

But after all, she was born and bred in the Qing Dynasty. Sometimes Shu Ning could not help but feel chills when she heard her talking about the results of the recent battle with the "fox spirit" in a nonchalant tone. Those lives were lost just like this. Just pawns in the wind.Shuning didn't want to have a close relationship with her, so she reduced the number of times she went back to Jian's palace. The Guerjia family didn't find anything wrong, and devoted all their attention to dealing with the Ergenjueluo family, temporarily gaining the upper hand.

Yuanning returned to the capital at the end of September, and her body has recovered.Shu Ning visited her a few times, and saw that she looked good, but she was a little sluggish, and she didn't seem to care much about her daughter.

Shu Ning couldn't bear it, so she persuaded her a few words, and seeing that she was a little indifferent, she said angrily: "You are her mother, you don't care about loving her, what should you tell her to do in the future?" After a pause, she remembered the situation when she was a child , and slowed down his tone: "Have you forgotten what happened when you were a child? Why bother to make your little Gege suffer that?"

Yuanning's eyes turned red, she turned her head, and turned around after a while, looking at the yelling child in the car, her heart softened, she walked over and hugged her in her arms, kissing her face and little hands, just not talking.The maids on the side looked at it and felt a little sad.

When Shu Ning left, she heard women playing in the distance, looked for the sound, and saw a few kites flying behind the wall, and laughter followed.

The maid who sent her out of the mansion whispered: "That's Chu Fujin." She turned her head to look at the maid, and walked out the door.

This year's winter was very cold, Shuning didn't pay attention when she went out once, she caught a cold, and had a fever for two days, which caused Zhenzhen and Guerjia to visit her.When Tong Ying returned home, she saw his wife was sick, so he gave her medicine first, regardless of his own fatigue. In the end, Shu Ning forced him to go to rest in the West Wing.

Later Duan Ning came to see his sister, saw that she looked haggard, and felt sad, so he winked at Tong Ying, went to the study with him, stared at her for a while, and said: "At the beginning you said you would treat her well. I have been married to you for more than a year, but I have lost so much weight, you..." He didn't know what to say, and sighed: "Forget it, I know you can't help yourself."

Tong Ying lowered her head, her eyes full of shame: "It's my fault. I thought I could make her happy, but I didn't expect it to make her have to endure all kinds of uncomfortable things. I... Anyway, I didn't take care of her." Well her, it's my fault."

Duan Ning looked at him, the two were speechless, and asked after a while, "I heard that you had some quarrels with elder brother when you were on the east tour?" Tong Ying frowned and said, "Why do you even know? I I don't want to be involved in those things." Duanning sighed: "Even if you think so, how can others let you go as long as you are blessed? I just hope you are safe and well, and neither will my sister. Just suffer." Tong Ying smiled: "I know, I am not a vegetarian, and I will never let my family suffer."

Duanning hesitated for a while, and then asked: "I heard that the emperor issued a decree that if anyone in the Eight Banners is willing to go to Mongolia to serve as a magistrate, he will be granted and rewarded by the imperial court. Is it true?" Tong Ying looked at it with some surprise He: "There is indeed such a thing, but why are you asking this? Do you mean that?"

Duanning sighed, and said: "To be honest, I'm really interested. I grew up outside the customs when I was a child. But now I have a wife and son, a family and a job, so I can't just do whatever I want. Really. Jane has never been to places outside the customs, and Brother Ming is young, besides, my parents are in Zhili, and my sister is in Beijing, how can I just go like this?"

Tong Ying patted him on the shoulder and said with a wry smile: "Indeed, we have already married and started a career, and we can no longer do whatever we want as we were when we were young."

The two looked at each other, both smiled, and put their shoulders on each other, as if they were back in the past when they were good friends.

Under the care of Tongying and her family, Shuning recovered quickly, just in time for the eighth elder brother's wedding, and the couple went to the palace for a banquet together.At this banquet, she saw many clan members whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and she felt that her mood was different from the past. She only treated them politely, but she didn't have the intention of being close.

Everyone was as friendly and affectionate to her as ever, although I don't know if they were sincere, but among so many people there were always one or two who were blind and would say something that would spoil the atmosphere.

For example, Na Danzhu, the long-lost Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife in Shuncheng County Prince's Mansion, although she has changed a lot, she still loves to speak with thorns, so she said to Shu Ning with a fake smile: "Sister-in-law has been in the house for more than a year." Why is there still no movement in your stomach? Don’t tell me there is something wrong with your body? I heard that you just got seriously ill a few days ago.” She had two sons and a daughter after living in the house for more than three years, but she was very concerned about it. Be proud, and use this as capital to stab people.

Shuning glanced at her indifferently, then looked around, seeing that most people were either not paying attention, or smiling mockingly, or waiting for a good show, the fire in her heart was kindled again.
