Foster son and husband

Chapter 157
A family sister-in-law went to report to Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin was holding Heng'er in the upper room in another courtyard, looking left and right, full of joy, when she heard that the uncle went into Feng's room to find a girl, she was taken aback , quickly handed Heng'er over to Xia Lian and Cuisi, and asked them to take good care of him. He was afraid that Heng'er would be hungry, so he ordered Tao'er to go to the kitchen and tell the cook to cook something delicious, and feed it to Brother Heng. He took his nephew and daughter-in-law to Feng's courtyard, and he was relieved to see Xu Junying and Mei Niang standing in the porch talking.

Xu Junying met her mother-in-law respectfully, and Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "It's hard work teaching the Marquis! This is not the place for the Marquis... let's go to the front hall for tea!"

Mei Niang had long felt that Xu Junying was out of place here, and was still in the way, following Mrs. Qin's words, she advised him: "Master Hou, go to the front hall, the elder brothers in the clan are all waiting to talk to you!"

Xu Junying didn't answer, just looking at her, Mrs. Qin pulled Meiniang: "You come too, accompany my mother to eat some food with Lord Hou! There are several sisters-in-law from the clan to accompany her, and Madam Wang is here. you don't have to guard"

Niang Mei didn't want to go: "My daughter invited Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xia over, and she is preparing medicine for my sister-in-law's pulse. You must say a few words!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin said happily: "Mr. Zhang and the Taoist priest are here? Where are they? I also met the two benefactors for my mother!"

Mei Niang pointed at the end of the corridor: "The Taoist priest is cooking medicinal soup over there, and Mr. Zhang is checking his pulse inside!"

"Oh, where's Mrs. Lian? Where's Li'er and the others? There are so many people here, how can the priest cook the medicinal soup himself!"

"Mother, you don't know that decocting this medicinal soup is very particular, and he has to do it himself-Mother, don't call Daoist again in the future, call Mr. Xia!"

"Huh? Oh, good! Mother knows!"

Meiniang grabbed Mrs. Qin's arm, mother and daughter supported each other, left Xu Junying, and walked towards Lingxuzi with a smile. Xu Junying's heart was slightly cold, and she followed behind them silently, also going to see Lingxuzi Cook medicine.

Lingxuzi leaned over to greet Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin said gratefully: "Last time I saved Bo Qing'er and cured my chronic illness for many years. Today, I have to work with two benefactors to take care of my daughter-in-law. Although it is a lot of trouble, it is too much trouble." Gratitude is not a word of thanks, but this time the two of you must be honored by the old man, and when Bo Qing comes back, I will teach him to thank the two benefactors properly!"

Mrs. Qin knelt down to salute Mrs. Qin as she said that, Lingxuzi had to worry about the boiling soup, and could only stay by the stove, unable to leave, waved her hands anxiously, Meiniang hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Qin, and Xu Junying stepped forward to support Qin Madam, smiled and said: "Mother-in-law doesn't have to be like this. The two young masters Zhang and Xia have been friends with me for many years. Mother-in-law only regards them as nephews in the younger generation. How dare they accept the gift of the elders?"

Lingxuzi nodded and said: "Junying is right, Madam don't need to be polite to us, I was entrusted by Junying and his wife that day to come to the mansion to treat Uncle Qin, what's the use of worrying about it?"

Mei Niang said to Ling Xuzi: "You are too polite, call Auntie, otherwise my mother will salute you!"

Lingxuzi smiled shyly, saluted Mrs. Qin again, and called out: "Aunt Qin!"

Mrs. Qin's eyes were bent from laughing, and she hurriedly responded, "Hey! Good nephew!"

Zhang Jingyun walked out of the upper room, took a look twice, then walked towards them, bowed to Mrs. Qin first, and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, madam..."

Mei Niang interrupted him: "Change your words, we are friends, you should call me aunt!"

Zhang Jingyun's temperament is used to being calm and calm, and he doesn't care about Xu Junying's expressionless face. Hearing Mei Niang's words, he changed his words with a smile, and continued:
"Congratulations, Auntie! Last time my nephew felt something strange when he checked the young lady's pulse, but he didn't dare to confirm it, so it's hard to tell. This time, after listening to the two imperial physicians' descriptions of the pulse, I can be sure that the young lady's belly Pregnant with two fetuses!"

The daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law of the Qin clan of different generations stood on the corridor, and they couldn't help cheering in a low voice. Mrs. Qin shook her body and almost fell down. She was supported by Xu Junying and Mei Niang. One sentence: "Ancestors are virtuous!"

Mei Niang asked Zhang Jingyun: "How is sister-in-law doing?"

"Very good," Zhang Jingyun looked to the east, and said, "It's much better than that one. It was weaker in the early stage. After taking the medicines prescribed by Lingxuzi, the physique has improved a lot, and the fetus is also fine."

He looked at Lingxuzi: "I just asked Mrs. Wen, and according to what she said, you can use the medicine!"

Lingxuzi was pouring the medicinal soup into a white porcelain bowl, and said to Mei Niang: "You should go and feed her yourself, and then accompany her for a while, she is in good health, just drink this bowl is enough!"

Mrs. Qin reached out to take the medicine bowl, and said with a smile: "I'll go, Mei Niang doesn't know anything, I'm a mother, and I should be with my wife!"

Mei Niang knew that Mrs. Qin was superstitious, and she refused to let herself approach Feng's bed, and it was not easy to tell her in front of so many people that she had given birth with the queen, and she was not afraid of any evil spirits. Mrs. Qin, talk to her a few words, but Mrs. Qin tightly grasped the medicine bowl, and ordered the family nephew and daughter-in-law who followed her to lead the uncle, the girl, and the two gentlemen to sit in the next room. , Serving you with good tea and snacks, and when you have a letter, let someone report it.

After Madam Qin finished speaking, she took two steps forward, and when she turned her head and saw that these people were not moving, she looked at Mei Niang with a slightly stern look:

"My son, just listen to your mother's words!"

Mei Niang lowered her eyes and pouted her mouth: This mother looks kind and kind, but when she becomes tough, she looks a bit like her mother in her previous life. When she refuses to give in, she can't make trouble as a mother.

The two sisters-in-law looked at Meiniang and couldn't help laughing, the older one blessed Xu Junying, Xu Junying slightly bent over to return the gift, she took Meiniang's hand and said:
"Uncle, aunt, you two young masters, please come with me, the courtyard next door is only separated by a wall, if there is any news, it will be delivered within a short time!"

Then she smiled and said to Mei Niang: "Don't mind my aunt. Women are inherently evil when they give birth, not to mention that the eighth sister-in-law has twins. Don't worry! Auntie doesn't understand that my aunt loves her sister-in-law, but it's not at this moment. It's not too late to see her after the baby is born. You should be considerate of your aunt. My aunt loves my aunt no less than she does to my uncle. You are already weak, but you can't afford to get sick again!"

Meiniang had no choice but to follow her sister-in-law out of Feng's courtyard, listening to her nagging impatiently all the way, and then turned to look at Xu Junying, Zhang Jingyun, and Lingxuzi. , only Lingxuzi smiled at her.

In the upper room in the courtyard where Mrs. Qin lived, Heng'er had just had a full meal and was playing games with Xia Lian and Cuisi on the couch, laughing crisply and cheerfully. It was the first time he returned to his grandmother's house, and he seemed to be not unaccustomed to it.

Several people were sitting in the upper room, coaxing Heng'er to play. Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi met Heng'er for the first time, saw him lively and cute, and liked him very much, but because they went out in a hurry, they didn't bring any special items as gifts. Giving it to Heng'er, I felt quite sorry, Xu Junying smiled and said:
"Little children, they don't know how to perform rituals for their fathers, let alone these things!"

The little girl served fragrant tea, Meiniang heard that Cuisia Xialian reported that Heng'er had eaten steamed meat pies and noodles, so she felt relieved, looked at Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi and asked, "What have you eaten?"

Zhang Jingyun said: "I came out of the palace and met you before I had lunch!"

Mei Niang said with a smile: "I'm really sorry for making two famous doctors go to see patients hungry!"

Instruct Cui Lian: "Cui Xi is in the kitchen, watching them make lunch, can you go over and have a look?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a crisp voice coming in from outside: "Back to the girl: lunch has arrived!"

Cuixi, Cheng'er, Ping'er, and Mrs. Lian walked in carrying the food box. Xu Junying glanced at the fast-talking Cheng'er, and immediately fell silent, lowered her head, and returned to the Qin Mansion for a while , She tried to call a girl a few times, and felt that it was more fluent than calling grandma. Just now, she called that voice at the door, but she didn't expect that Master Hou was also inside, and thought he was sitting in the front hall.

Mei Niang sensed Cheng'er's uneasiness, and said with a smile: "Have you eaten Cheng'er and Ping'er? If you are full, I will take Heng'er to play, Cui Lian, Cui Si and Xia Lian will go down to eat, and take a break by the way." !"

The two sister-in-laws wanted to help Cuixi cloth the dishes and wait for them to eat, but Mei Niang hurriedly stopped them and took them to the table to have lunch together. The two sisters-in-law were not willing, but ordered the little girl beside them to go to the front hall to call a few grandpas. Come over to drink with the guests, Mei Niang said to the clan sister-in-law: "Mr. Zhang and Xia are not allowed to drink now, and the waiter also has official business, so we can just eat some food!"

What are the brains of the two women, have they forgotten the original intention of coming to help?What kind of wine are you drinking at this time!

The two sisters-in-law saw that they were not needed, and it was not easy to watch others eat, so they found an excuse and went out. Meiniang felt much more relaxed, washed her hands and served soup for several people, and said to Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi with a smile : "These dishes were selected by Cuixi herself in the kitchen, they should suit your taste!"

Lingxuzi took a sip of the soup, nodded and said: "This soup is well made, almost like the one from Cyclamen!"

Cuixi stood at the back pursing her lips and smiling, Mei Niang said: "These dishes are made by the cook from Cyclamen! My brother has to take an exam, and my sister-in-law and mother are weak, so I asked the two cooks to come over every now and then to cook some delicate and delicious dishes. Soup, to recuperate their bodies."

The four of them were eating, when they suddenly saw Qin Boqing walking in, Meiniang hurriedly got up to greet her, Qin Boqing was full of worry, pulled Meiniang to the table, leaned over and saluted each of Xu Junying, Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi , speaking politely, Meiniang asked Cuixi to bring a set of bowls and chopsticks, and asked him to eat some too. Qin Boqing shook his head and said that he couldn't eat any more. Meiniang knew that he was worried about Feng Shi, so she deliberately joked:
"Brother, it seems that this spring test must have been done poorly. It doesn't matter. This time it is Enke, and it will be held next year. Let's take the test again!"

Qin Boqing forced a smile: "Sister, don't worry, your brother did very well in the exam, and Gong Sheng couldn't escape... I hurried home after the exam, but my mother was stopped by someone, and I was not allowed to go in. Very flustered!"

Zhang Jingyun comforted him: "Young Master Qin, don't worry, young mistress is in good health, and this test should pass smoothly..."
