Chapter 9

Within two days, the old lady called Mrs. Jiang over, and said to pick a day to take Dongmei to be her concubine.Jiang Shi complied, and only said to go back and prepare.I don't want to come back early the next morning, complaining that I mentioned this matter to my husband last night, but he taught me a lesson, saying that Dongmei is the old lady's usual capable person, and as a daughter-in-law, she doesn't want to serve her well. , On the contrary, it is unreasonable to ask the people around the old lady to leave.

"Mother, Hong Tian taught you a lesson very well. My daughter-in-law thought about it all night last night, and she was very frightened. She came here early this morning to report to mother. The heirs of the Ruan family are a big deal. I only blame my daughter-in-law for being stupid, and now she wants mother to cut off the people around her." , It is absolutely wrong. The daughter-in-law will pay attention to it from today, if there is a suitable family from a good family, the daughter-in-law knows what to do, needless to say."

The old lady was still half leaning on the couch and didn't get up, so she naturally didn't believe Jiang's words, although she was upset, she didn't feel good about it, she just snorted and said: "I'll tell Hong Tian myself."

Jiang remained silent, bowed his head and retreated.In the evening, just as Ruan Hongtian came back, the old lady from Suixi Garden came to invite him.Ruan Hongtian saw that Mrs. Jiang was a little restless, while the old mama turned her back, he quietly squeezed the hand in her sleeve, and walked away with a smile.Only then did Jiang feel relieved.

I don't know what Ruan Hongtian said in front of the old lady. After more than a month passed, the old lady still didn't look good when she saw Jiang, and she didn't mention the reason for sending Dongmei here. On the contrary, Dongmei was very happy. One, I didn't come out to see anyone for a while.

Now that Mingyu is free, she stares at Jiang's belly every day, hoping for news that she is happy. Remembering that she was diagnosed with a happy pulse at about this time in her previous life, but there is no movement, she can't help but feel a little nervous.Could it be that from the moment he intervened in the grandmother's birthday feast, everything that happened next deviated from the original path and became completely different?

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, and at the beginning of September, two months after the old lady's birthday, there was still no movement from the Jiang family.Mingyu was a little frustrated, even the Jiang family could see it, came over and asked several times, but when she couldn't find anything, she smiled and said: "Your father finally got some free time here, and he has some business to go to Wuzhou, by the way Even Wuling Mountain, my mother also went there with him. Seeing that you are a bit bored at home, why don't you go together? There are many waterways to go left and right, so it won't be very tiring if you think about it."

Ming Yu knew that his father was going to take his mother to Wuling Mountain to pray for a son.The family is big and the business is big, and the father of the head of the family spends most of the year running outside. Where did he have such time to take his mother out to relax in the past?Now that the things promised for a long time are finally fulfilled, how can I follow the past so blankly?I only hope that they can stay longer and get along well outside, maybe there will be good news when they come back, so naturally they shook their heads.

In two days, Ruan Hongtian handed over the affairs of his home and store to the housekeeper, and was about to go out.The chief housekeeper's surname is Liu and his name is Shenghe, and he has worked for the Ruan family for several generations.When Ming Yu's grandfather was still there, Steward Liu was already a right-hand man, mature and capable, and extremely loyal, so Ruan Hongtian was relieved.

Ruan Hongtian and his wife went to Suixi Garden to bid farewell to the old lady.Although the old lady was a little dissatisfied with Jiang's "attentive attention" for a long time and there was no movement, she only knew that this time she was going to Wuling Mountain to worship the Buddha and pray for a son, so it was not easy to stop her, so she put on a face and agreed.Ming Yu and Ming Pei saw off their parents until they arrived at the second gate. Jiang told the maids and mothers who followed behind to serve them attentively, and then said goodbye.

After her parents left Rongyin Hall, Ming Yu immediately felt a little empty in her heart.Fortunately, her life is very organized.In the morning, I went to Suixi Garden to recite scriptures for my grandmother, and when I came back, I would urge Ming Pei to read and practice calligraphy together, or play the piano and paint. After a rest in the afternoon, I learned embroidery and needlework from the newcomer Du Ruoqiu.In the past, she specialized in poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting, and neglected female red embroidery, but now she picked it up, and gradually became interested.

A few days later, Ming Yu brought Ming Pei along in the morning, and went to talk with the old lady as usual.The old lady leaned back on a square chair covered with spring fur cushions in the south pavilion and listened to Ming Yu recite a few pages of scriptures.Ming Pei at the side gradually became impatient, looking around, the old lady suddenly coughed, which startled her, and hurriedly sat down again.

"I heard that you came up with the idea of ​​my birthday last time?"

The old lady made a gesture, and Ming Yu stopped, and said yes. She didn't hear her speak, and looked up with some anxiety, and saw her half-opened and half-closed eyes, looking at a clump of ditangs outside the south window, As if slightly dazed.

"The middle of the day shifts, and the full moon loses. The Ruan family has been prominent in the south of the Yangtze River for several generations, so it's better to restrain yourself. My illness may be God's will."

After a while, she finally heard her say this, it seemed to be talking to herself, and it seemed to be talking to Ming Yu.

Ming Yu was slightly surprised.

In her previous life, she really didn't have any relationship with this grandmother. I remember that she will pass away in a few years.Now because of his secret manipulation last time, he feels guilty towards her, and now he is slowly getting close to her.But she never expected that when her parents didn't even realize it, this grandmother, who she thought would only blame Jiang for not having a son, would now have such thoughts, which really coincided with her.There was a burst of excitement in my heart, and I suppressed it, and then said: "Father listens to grandma the most, so grandma will mention it more in the future."

The old lady snorted and said, "Your father, why did you ever really listen to me? But it's all obedient and obedient, and he just coaxed me like a fool."

Ming Yu knew what she meant, and wanted to laugh a little, but didn't dare, so she hurriedly lowered her head.

The old lady paused for a moment, then asked again: "What do you do during the day?"

"Mostly I take my younger sister to learn female red embroidery."

Ming Yu responded obediently.

"That's good. What's the use of reading so many books for a girl's family? It confuses everyone. Learn everything you need to learn as soon as possible, and it is only right to marry a good man and live a stable life. I think you will be calm for a while." There are quite a few, and you have a decent appearance when you talk and walk, but your younger sister is not dignified, you should bring more when you have time, so as not to be laughed at when you go out in the future."

Ming Pei was a little unhappy when she heard that she was being derogated, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just lowered her head aggrieved.

Ming Yu glanced at her, and was about to smooth things over and say a few words, when suddenly there were hurried and broken footsteps in the corridor outside, and when she looked back, she saw a little girl from Suixi Garden coming in panting, standing beside her. Rong's mother was about to open her mouth to scold, but she saw the girl holding the door frame with her hands and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the master and wife are back, and they are in a hurry to send someone to invite the doctor."

Ming Yu was startled, and the old lady was also a little surprised. She sat up straight, and Mother Rong scolded: "You bastard, you can still laugh when you hire a doctor."

"It is said that Madam seems to be displeased, so she hastily came back to ask Lang Zhong to take a closer look."

The girl was scolded and hurriedly added another sentence.

"Damn girl, even if you say a word, cut it in two..."

Mother Rong scolded again, but Mingyu was overjoyed, she stood up abruptly and left, but the old lady next to her was faster than her, and she quickly passed Mingyu's door without anyone's support or even a crutch Going to the side, Rong's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help her, Dongmei Dongqing and other maids and mothers also followed up, and a group of people surrounded the old lady and rushed over.

Ming Yu's heart was pounding, and she knew that Jiang's family was probably really happy, but she didn't expect such a twists and turns, and she didn't come back after being outside for a few days.I can't wait to see her right away to see what happens.When I followed the old lady to Jiang's house, I saw many maids and women coming in carrying the boxes that had been packed and moved out a few days ago. Yu followed the old lady in, and saw at a glance that Jiang Shi was still wearing the clothes he had gone out, sitting on the chair, and Ruan Hongtian beside him looked anxious, and when he heard footsteps, he raised his head and said, "Has the doctor come yet? "When I saw it was my old lady, I hurried over to greet her.

"Go ahead, don't come here. I just heard that your daughter-in-law came back after being upset, but is it true?"

The old lady opened her mouth to ask, her voice trembling.

Mrs. Jiang had also arrived in front of her, with a little blush on her face, and said in a low voice: "I got on the boat the day before yesterday, and I didn't want to vomit after smelling something for several mornings, so Hong Tian stopped the boat and called a doctor to come on board to see , but he said that he was happy, so he turned it back, and wanted to ask the acquaintance Lang Zhong to take a closer look, lest he read it wrong..."

As she was talking, the old lady's face that had been calm for thousands of years finally showed a slight smile, and she said with a groan, "Sit back and wait for the doctor." She also sat down on a chair.

After a while, I heard a woman outside shouting that the doctor has arrived.Mingyu pulled Mingzhu to a screen in the corner of the room and avoided it.Because the Ruan family was a businessman, they were always generous, and they didn't pay attention to many rules like some officials and eunuchs, and the Jiang family was already a married woman, so they didn't cover it with a curtain, but Ruan Hongtian stood beside her to cover half of it.

Through Bisha, Mingyu saw the same Langzhong Sun who took care of the old lady's illness last time.

Sun Langzhong saw a room full of maids and mothers, the old lady of the Ruan family who had seen her sick before was sitting upright, she didn't dare to look around, she lowered her head and stared at her toes, and stepped forward to say hello.The old lady said anxiously: "Show it to my wife."

Sun Langzhong Nuonuo agreed, raised his head slightly, and saw a beautiful young woman sitting on the opposite chair, and the tall and tall man standing beside her was Mr. Ruan, who hurriedly said hello, and sat obliquely on the chair brought by Zhang Yatou. On the pier, put two fingers on the woman's wrist covered by the silk handkerchief, closed her eyes for examination, opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Congratulations, master. Ma'am is the pulse of joy, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
