Madam Hou

Chapter 87

General Su's eldest daughter-in-law has added a pair of twins to her husband's family. General Su Yu Lin Fengqi has the kindness of mentoring and mentoring. Let's go out together and go to Timpen to watch the ceremony.

The three baptisms were held in a warm pavilion in the backyard of the Su family, and Madam Su personally conducted them.Mrs. Su, who was happy to have her grandchildren, was all red, and she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear when she heard the congratulations from the guests.Yin Niang and Mrs. Lin Hou went up to see Mrs. Su, and said a few words of congratulations.After adding the basin, Yinniang reported to Mrs. Lin Hou and Mrs. Su, and the little maid led her to Mr. Su's courtyard to visit Mrs. Ying.

Although Ying has just given birth, she is in good spirits.Seeing Yinniang came in to see her, she was also very happy, and quickly asked the servant girl to move a stool to sit beside her bed, and then let the servant girl serve tea.

After Yinniang sat down, she said to her family: "Congratulations, it's already considered a good fortune for others to have two babies in three years. You have given birth to two babies in just over a year since you entered the house. The twins are Jirui again. Many people in the capital envy you." What about your luck?"

Speaking of her two children, Ying's face was also full of gentleness, and she said with a big smile: "I hope to give birth one by one. There are often twins in my mother's family, but the children born from the twins are physically weak. None of the children born this single did well."

Yin Niang said: "I think my sister is worried about being poor. I have seen my brother and sister before, and they all look healthy. Compared with other children, they don't look weak."

Speaking of the children, Ying seemed a little excited, and said with a smile: "These two children are better. Although they are twins, the elder brother weighs six catties, and the sister weighs five catties. You don't know, I A cousin of my natal family was also pregnant with twins last year, and she lost her life during childbirth. The pair of brothers born in the end weighed less than four catties, and they couldn’t even cry when they were born. It was raised with precious medicinal materials, but the little one died at the age of four months. My fetus was activated only after being hit. When my brother was just picked up by the midwife, he was silent. I thought there was something wrong, and I was so frightened that I almost lost the strength to give birth to a baby. In the end, the midwife slapped his buttocks before crying. I heard his crying loudly and full of breath. Just relax."

It seems that Ying's delivery process that day was also quite thrilling.

Yin Niang said: "It may be that this is my sister's blessing. Although there were some difficulties in the middle, the brothers and sisters were born safely in the end."

Ying smiled, and was about to say something, but there was a sudden noise outside the room.A loud female voice came in from outside the house: "I want to see my sister, please don't stop me... sister, my sister has come to accuse you, please forgive me, if my sister doesn't forgive me, then I have no choice but to kneel In the yard until my sister forgives me."

The voice is as melodious and clear as a yellow warbler, one can imagine that the woman who made this voice must not be the daughter of Wuyan, presumably this is Mr. Su's concubine Shi Ping.

Upon hearing this voice, Ying's expression suddenly turned cold, with disgust on his face.

The voice continued to come, and the voice was self-pitying and gentle: "Sister, my sister really didn't do it on purpose that day. In the garden that day, my sister saw the wild cat straight up and wanted to jump on her. My sister wanted to push me away." Sister Kai didn't let the wild cat hurt her sister, but she didn't expect that the push made her sister bump into the stone next to her, which made her brothers and sisters come out early... Although the younger sister accidentally hurt her sister, she swore, I never intend to harm my sister on purpose..."

Listening to those words, Ying frowned, and flirted with her personal maid, Dan Tao, who nodded and went out.

Dantao was brought over by Mrs. Ying from her natal family, so she has some skills of her own.After going out, he reprimanded Ping: "Aunt Ping, what are you doing? The young mistress is in need of rest, so why are you making such a noise here? The young mistress has long since stopped doing things. If you have any grievances, you can go to your wife to complain." .Could it be that you deliberately let the young mistress not take a good rest? What are your intentions?"

Aunt Ping knelt in the yard, Lihua said rainingly: "Sister Dantao, you misunderstood me, I just wanted to make amends to the young mistress. Although I was trying to save the young mistress that day, I ended up causing the young mistress to give birth prematurely. My mistake. Now that the young mistress doesn't want to see me, she must not forgive me, so I will kneel in the yard until the young mistress forgives me."

"Aunt Ping, I usually respect you as a half master, but today I have to remind you that today is the third baptism of the young master and the young lady, and there are many distinguished guests coming and going in the house, you are making a lot of noise here. , if you bump into a distinguished guest, even if there is an old lady protecting you, the lady will also peel off your skin. Or are you deliberately taking advantage of the presence of a distinguished guest today, so that you can come here in this yard to tarnish the young mistress' reputation?"

"Sister Dantao, you really misunderstood me, I sincerely want to apologize to my sister..."

Listening to the conversation outside, Ying put her hand on her forehead, feeling quite helpless.And Yin Niang was a little embarrassed, after all, it was a private matter in the inner house, and it really didn't feel good for her to be an outsider here.Yin Niang was thinking that it would be better for her to say hello and go back first, so she stood up and said to Shi, "Sister has something to deal with here, I think it's better for me to go back first, and come to see sister some other day."

When Yinniang heard these things, Ying also felt a little ashamed.But he didn't agree with Yin Niang's farewell, and said to her: "Although this is not a decent thing, but the relationship between our two families is good, and my parents treat the eldest son as half a son, so there is nothing wrong with it." You know."

After Mrs. Ying said this, Yin Niang couldn't go any further, so she sat down on the stool again.

Ping's confession continued to come from outside the door, and Ying ordered another maid standing in the room: "Go out and tell Dantao to cover Aunt Ping's mouth and take her down to lock her up first. She's howling here and giving me a headache."

The servant girl bowed her knees and said yes, then went out.Immediately afterwards, Ping's "woo woo" sound came from outside the door, but he quickly returned to calm.

After all, she is a good concubine taken seriously, and she is also Mrs. Su's grandniece. Would it be too simple and rude to do so, especially I don't know how Eldest Master Su will treat this concubine's room.Yin Niang wanted to remind Ying Shi, and said to her: "Na Ping Shi..."

Mrs. Ying seemed to know what Yinniang was going to say, so she interrupted her directly and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Ping is not popular at home except for the old lady. Even if I directly offend her, my mother and Mrs. Xiang will only turn a blind eye." Close your eyes, and what happened in my yard will not reach the old lady's ears at all."

Yin Niang smiled awkwardly, thinking that she was worrying unnecessarily, how could Ying Shi be such a worthless person.

Mrs. Ying continued: "She's very shallow-minded, and she's just pretending here, because she wants to take advantage of the large number of guests today and let people watch her kneeling in my yard on purpose to ruin my reputation, don't say that the three ceremonies are for It's done in my mother's yard, and the distinguished guests can't come around my yard at all, so what if they come, she doesn't take the IQ of this group of wives too seriously... I was too underestimating the enemy back then, and I didn't pay much attention to her Only then did she get it. Fortunately, my brothers and sisters are all fine, otherwise, I wouldn't care if the old lady would protect her and see if I don't tear her up."

Yin Niang also knew little about what happened that day, so she asked suspiciously: "What happened that day?"

Mrs. Ying didn't hide anything, and told Yinniang in detail: "My delivery date is approaching. According to the doctor's order, I will take a walk in the garden every day to make the delivery go smoothly. That day In the afternoon, I went for a walk in the garden as usual. I was impatient to bring many people, so I only brought Dantao. The rhododendrons in the garden were just in bloom. When I saw that I liked it, I asked Dantao to pick one for me. At this time I don't know where a stray cat ran over, the cat was far away, I was able to avoid her, I didn't worry at all, but Aunt Ping rushed past from nowhere, shouting 'be careful, sister', Then he pushed me onto a nearby rock."

Mrs. Ping is also a bit clever, and she almost killed her wife's fetus in the name of saving others. Mrs. Ping was afraid that even if Mrs. Ying lost her fetus, she accidentally dropped it to save others. If there is a mistake, it is also a small mistake. With Mrs. Su protecting her, the people of the Su family will not punish her severely.If you think about it, you might even praise her for saving lives.

If this kind of behavior happened in a small household, I'm afraid it will let Ping get his way. For example, in the Chen family, with Mr. Chen as a foolish father, maybe she can really make her harm the wife's child and get her The little red flower of praise.It's just that in a high-ranking family, this kind of means is not enough at all.Such a simple situation, I'm afraid even the maids of the Su Mansion can see it clearly.Perhaps Ying also overestimated Ping's IQ. She grew up in a wealthy family and thought that all women's IQs were above the level. She never thought that Ping would come up with such a simple and rude situation. Let her succeed.

It was also Ping's luck that nothing happened to Ying and the two children.If something really happened, let's not talk about Mrs. Su's own anger, just to explain to the Ying family, not to mention the Ping family, even the Ping family might not be able to eat and walk around.

Yin Niang talked to Ying Shi again, thinking that it would not disturb Ying Shi's rest, so she left soon.

When they came back from the Su family, it seemed that the pair of children of the Su family suddenly attracted Mrs. Lin Hou's desire to hold a grandson. Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Lin Hou kept staring at Yinniang's belly.

Yinniang naturally knew that Mrs. Linhou was watching her all the time, but she knew that she also pretended not to know.However, Mrs. Lin Hou didn't say anything all the way, and she went back to Yongning Hou Mansion. Yin Niang thought she would never say anything more, but when she returned to Tangrong Courtyard, Mrs. Lin Hou suddenly left her behind and dragged her away. Her hand asked: "when is your little day, has it been postponed this month?"

Yin Niang was also a little embarrassed for such a private question, but she couldn't answer it, she lowered her head and said shyly, "I just came here a few days ago."

Madam Linhou sighed a little disappointed.

Mrs. Lin Hou continued to ask: "Then how often does Feng Qi rest in your room?"

"My husband is considerate of me, and he rests in his daughter-in-law's room almost every night."

Mrs. Lin Hou patted Yin Niang's hand, and said: "That's good, you keep Feng Qi in the room more, so that the branches and leaves will spread as soon as possible."

Yin Niang said depressed in her heart: This is too urgent, she has only been in the door for three months.It's just that Yinniang knew that Mrs. Linhou absolutely didn't like Yinniang's rebuttal, so she agreed perfunctorily, "Yes, mother."

"I heard that you also invited a statue of Songzi Guanyin to make offerings. Now that you have come back, you must continue to offer it every day, so that the empress of Songzi can appreciate your piety."

Uh..., it really is a mother-child tradition.

Yin Niang continued to perfunctory: "Yes, Mother."

Mrs. Lin Hou continued to talk about children, blah blah blah, blah blah. In the end, she even talked about what to pay attention to during pregnancy and how to raise the child after birth, as if Yinniang was really pregnant.Regarding Mrs. Linhou's words, no matter whether Yinniang didn't care or not, she answered perfunctorily "Yes, mother" and "What mother said is true."
