Madam Hou

Chapter 21

Weibeihou Mansion.

Mrs. Kang Guogong's wife, Ying Shi, hugged the grandson born to her second daughter, and walked around the room shaking the swaddling baby in her hand, imitating the baby's "uh uh uh" in her mouth.

Weibei Hou Mansion, like Yongning Hou Mansion and Kang Guo Gong Mansion, is one of the eight founding Duke Hou Bo Mansions of the Great Yan Dynasty who helped the Taizu end the troubled times and established the Great Yan Dynasty. Prestige.Jiang Hong has two sons, the eldest son is named Jiang Yurong, the current Weibei Hou Shizi, born to the original wife of Lord Jiang, Dayang, and the second son, Jiang Yuying, is the younger sister of Dayang, the second son of Lord Jiang. From the Yang family.

Dayang's mother, Mrs. Yang, married her concubine, Xiao Yang, into Weibeihou as his successor to protect her grandson.Back then, Xiao Yang was allowed to marry in the name of letting his aunt take care of his nephew, but later, for some reason, Jiang Shizi grew up beside Mrs. Jiang Tai.

Jiang Shizi was born with deficiencies. He has been weak and sick since he was born. He has been recuperating at home and rarely goes out. He is somewhat unknown in the eyes of outsiders.On the contrary, the second young master of the Jiang family, who was healthy and smart since he was a child, grew up to be adept at arching horses and reading military books. Although he is only 21 years old now, he has begun to inherit his father's will and has achieved some success in the army.When talking about the son of Marquis Weibei in Beijing, everyone would think of the second young master Jiang, not the prince Jiang who had already been appointed.

Ying's second daughter, the empress's younger sister, Jiang Yiwen married this young and promising Second Young Master Jiang.

Jiang Ershao's wife, Mrs. Jiang, was leaning on a huanghuali canopy bed, looking at her mother with gentle eyes as she walked and swayed with her son in her arms.Because the child has just been born and is not yet full-term, in order to fear that the evil wind will enter the body and cause the root cause of the disease, even though it is still summer, Mrs. Jiang's second young lady is still covered tightly.

Seeing her mother having a great time with her son, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help laughing and said, "Mother, don't shake him anymore, this child is spoiled and has a bad temper, you keep shaking him like this, wait a minute If he doesn't shake his hands, he's afraid he'll cry, he's going to cry, and if he doesn't coax him for an hour, he might not be able to stop."

Ying said indifferently: "Hey, which family's child is not born delicate, and it's not from a family that can't afford a nanny and maid. The child likes to be hugged and rocked, so he should be rocked by the nanny and maid more often. "

"I'm afraid that if I spoil him, I will raise him into a dude in the future."

Ying looked at her baby and kissed her grandson, and couldn't help complaining about her daughter's sternness: "Children are only a little older, and you have to wait until they are older to teach you what to understand. How can you wrong your child now just because of this? You I never wronged you like this when I was a child."

Jiang Shi knew that her mother would only say this because of her rare grandson, so she would not argue with her own mother, she just listened quietly and smiled to let this point be over.

After a while, Lianxiang, the personal servant girl who served Jiang Shi, brought in a maid, and that maid was Lin'er who was serving Mrs. Weibeihou's wife Xiao Yang.Lin'er walked to the bed of Mrs. Jiang's second young lady, and saluted respectfully. Mrs. Jiang quickly asked her to get up, and with a wink, she asked Lianxiang to bring her a small chair to ask her to sit down.

Lin'er shook her head and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Er Shao, for giving me a seat, but this servant is here to pass on the message for Madam, and I will go back after delivering the message."

Jiang asked hurriedly, "What does mother-in-law want to teach me?"

Lin'er said: "Ma'am said, knowing that my wife is here, she won't come here to disturb my wife's conversation with the Second Young Madam, but the Second Young Madam is going to be in confinement, I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of her, let me wait for my in-law to arrive in Qing Dynasty In addition, Madam also said that she misses the young master, let someone take the young master to Madam to see."

"It's my mother-in-law who loves me. I went back to my mother-in-law and said, I'll have someone take my mother and Brother Ting there after a while."

Lin'er bent her knees and said, "Yes, I'll go back to Madam right now."

Jiang asked Lianxiang to send Lin'er out.

After Lin'er left, Ying put the child in the nurse's arms, then sat on Jiang's bed, and asked, "How is your mother-in-law treating you?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "Okay, my mother-in-law is an open-minded person. Even when I was pregnant with brother Ting, my mother-in-law didn't think about sending Tong Fang to my house."

Ying looked at her daughter's expression, seeing that what she said didn't seem to be true, and then continued to ask in peace: "What about my uncle, how is he treating you?"

With a blushing face, Mrs. Jiang also nodded and said: "It's good too, he respects me very much." After speaking, she complained to her mother in a small way: "However, sometimes he just doesn't understand the style."

Mrs. Ying nodded her daughter's head with her finger: "Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know what blessings are. If you don't understand amorous feelings, what is a shortcoming? I'm afraid that he will understand amorous feelings too much. Then, just like your father, he will accept a bunch of aunts." Come back, then is the time for you to cry." Then he said: "Be nice to my uncle, I can still trust my character. Although he is the second son and does not accept the title, but my uncle is capable. , I will earn a fortune for you in the future.”

Mrs. Jiang bent over and hugged Mrs. Ying's arm, shaking her while saying, "I see, mother, I will treat your uncle well in the future."

Ying squeezed her daughter's hand and said dotingly, "You!"

Then he continued to ask: "Where is Mrs. Jiang Tai, how is it for you?"

Jiang Shi said: "It's just normal. The elder brother was brought up by his grandmother. The grandmother has always been more partial to the elder family. What's more, the mother-in-law and the grandmother have some disagreements, so they are more indifferent to us."

"Where's your sister-in-law?"

Jiang Shi curled her lips and said: "She likes to play tricks all day long. Her own man is weak and can't support him, and we don't think about robbing his man's title, so we have to guard against us. Da Fang There has been no news since Sister Bian Liu was born, and she was a little anxious after I announced that she was pregnant. If I hadn't been on guard a while ago, I don't know what ingredients I put in my mouth. "

Mrs. Ying warned: "Be more on guard in the future, bear it if you can, and if you can't bear it, even if you want to fight back, you must stand up. Your status is embarrassing. The younger brother born to the second wife is more promising than the child born to the former wife. It's easy to make people fantasize, you can't let people spread gossip about bullying a weak half-brother."

"Don't worry, mother, I know how to do it."

Ying said with a sigh: "No matter what, you are still lucky, but your sister, who is too weak to give birth to a son, no matter how high she is, what is the use of enjoying more glory? I don't know in the future. For whom to make a wedding dress."

Jiang Shi persuaded: "Mother, don't worry about your empress. Your empress is a smart person. She knows what to do to be the best for herself. Didn't you say that the concubine Chen in the palace is still honest?"

"What's the use of being smart? I hope she'll be more stupid, as long as she lives in peace. It's fine for her to be surrounded by wolves in the palace now, but your father, second uncle and other close relatives want to bite out of your mother's body." A bite of meat."

"Why, father still wants to send his daughter into the palace?"

Ying Shi nodded and said: "That person, he doesn't have much ability of his own, but he still likes to gain power, be careful not to know if he is tricked by others..." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that no matter what, her husband is still a son and daughter It was not always good for her father to talk about her husband in front of them, so he quickly shut up.

Both of them were sighing for the queen, and the room suddenly fell silent.After a while, Mrs. Ying's servant girl came in suddenly, saluted Mrs. Ying and Jiang Shifu, and then hurriedly said: "Today, the son of the world brought Aunt Tang and Miss Four, and the second master took the second lady and Miss Three. Went to the palace to see the empress."

After listening to Mrs. Ying, she stood up immediately: "What? They turned against them." She said that she was going to go out in a hurry, but just took two steps, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Sister Wen Son, let someone tell your mother-in-law that I'm going back first, you take good care of yourself, and I'll come see you next time."

Jiang said: "Mother, go back and deal with your mother's affairs first, I don't have to worry about it here."

Mrs. Ying nodded, and led the maid out of Marquis Weibei's door, then put on the carriage and went back to Duke Kang's mansion.
