Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 38

Knowing that An Ran gave birth to a boy, Yingxiu couldn't bear the drowsiness that hit her, she drank her third cup of tea, "What did father say?"

"The master is very happy, and rewarded all the maids and women right away." Yingxiu pursed her smile, with a look of tiredness in the corners of her eyes, "Okay, you can go to rest too, and come back after noon for Qingbi. "

Mrs. Shen looked at the child in Master Shen's arms, and her heart became more and more entangled. The child born by Aunt Kong was a big fat boy. Although her heart was very sour, this child really looked Very healthy, a healthy child from birth is easy to support. In this Shen residence, what Master Shen needs most is to have many children, but she can't.

"Master, why don't you raise this child in my house." Mrs. Shen had some thoughts in her heart, and Father Shen handed the child to the nanny he had hired long ago and shook his head, "Just keep it in this yard, you She usually sleeps lightly."

Madam Shen's expression froze, she said nothing more, Aunt Kong had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, Master Shen went in to take a look at her, and went back with Madam Shen.

It was already time when Yingxiu woke up, Baoqin saw that she was awake, and called the maid to come in to wash and change clothes, after breakfast, Yingxiu opened the door and walked out of the courtyard, what greeted her eyes was a snow-white world, the wind had stopped , the whole courtyard was covered with a layer of snow, and the hanging paper flowers were still faintly visible on the branch of the tree. Baoqin took out the sleeve sleeve Qi Haoming gave her and put it on for her, "Miss, this snow Still going down."

"This year's snow seems to have come earlier." Yingxiu walked out of the yard. The snow had already cleared a path when it was light in the morning, and now it has covered a little bit. "It seems that this snow is likely to come soon." Go down to Laba."

"It's so early, many people will starve to death outside the city." Baoqin sighed, and stuffed a stove into her arms, "Miss, you really don't bring anything with you when you come out, just in case If you catch a cold, Mama Yan has to read it."

"Let's go to the Xiangheyuan to see my newborn brother." Yingxiu hugged the heater tightly, the weather without the wind was not so cold, the heavy cloak covered her body, only her face was exposed.

There was a lot of excitement in the Xianghe Courtyard, Mrs. Shen also sent a few maids to take care of her. Even Aunt Wei came to visit Aunt Kong who had just given birth, and was trying to persuade her to drink some chicken soup.

"Aunt Kong, I haven't congratulated you yet." Yingxiu walked into the room and frowned. It seemed a bit too hot, there were too many warm pots in the whole room, and the windows couldn't be opened to catch the wind during confinement. Get bored easily.

"Miss, you don't have to be so polite." Aunt Kong drank a bowl of chicken soup, and Aunt Wei withdrew to the side. Zi Yan replaced Qing Bi and came to help. At this time, she helped Aunt Kong to lie down and took away the bowl for her. The plate, Yingxiu only took it for a while and felt a little stuffy, and Aunt Wei seemed a little uncomfortable, "Aunt Kong, is this warm basin made by Xiao Hong?"

"This is carried by the lady sent by the madam, for fear that I will catch cold."

"Then you talk, I'll go to the next door to see the child." Feeling bored and uncomfortable, Ying walked out of the room and stopped Xiao Hong from outside, "Aunt Kong's room has too many warm pots, look at the situation Drop two."

Xiaohong nodded and walked in with a bowl of fermented wine. Yingxiu warmed her hands outside the side room before going in to see the child. At this time, she was lying quietly in the cradle, with thick black fetal hair growing on her forehead, and her face was very rosy. , the small mouth moved, I don't know what I dreamed of, and occasionally seemed to be frightened, the small hand on the chest waved upwards, and there was a whimpering sound from the mouth.

Yingxiu stroked his forehead affectionately. As the saying goes, the sky is full and is the first class. After experiencing so many unexpected hardships and still coming to this world in good health, this child is destined to come to this world. Holding the piano, she came over to take a peek, and said softly to Yingxiu, "Miss, I think the young master looks a bit like you, miss."

"Nonsense." Yingxiu tugged at her ear, but the corner of her mouth couldn't hide her smile. She really likes this child.

"What Miss Baoqin said makes sense, miss, many younger brothers and sisters are like older brothers and sisters." The newly invited nanny smiled and said to her, Yingxiu looked down at him, and a certain part of her heart softened .

"Yueyin in Shen's residence will not lose you, and I will also give you another red envelope. Although this child is a concubine whose status is not comparable to that of the young master, he is still the young master of Shen's residence. If you do your best, then Even Aunt Kong will thank you, if there is anything wrong with this child, you, a nanny, will have to bear the blame." Yingxiu looked up at the nanny, and said lightly, "You are only responsible for taking care of the young master, take good care of him Now, your responsibility has been fulfilled."

Seeing her face change, the nanny hurriedly nodded, Yingxiu's eyes softened, and seeing the little guy's mouth move again, she smiled, "You really don't know how to worry!"

When I went back to see Aunt Kong, Aunt Wei had already gone back. If the mother was cowardly, the child would be raised under Mrs. Shen’s name sooner or later. This life is completely ruined. Since Aunt Kong is a mother, she should want to protect the child and prevent him from being hurt.

No matter how weak the cat is, it will protect its cubs, let alone them.

After coming out of Xiangheyuan, Yingxiu went directly to Master Shen's study. There was a new student in Shen's mansion, and Master Shen was very happy. He was writing there, and when he saw Yingxiu came, he called her to take a look, " Look at the word Rui, this child was born just in time for the first heavy snowfall of this year, in the year of auspicious snow, I think this word is very good."

"Father, Cousin Qirui's Rui has the same pronunciation as Ruixue's Rui, so my aunt won't be able to tell you about it then." Yingxiu picked up the pen on the shelf, and raised her sleeve to write a word on the paper.

"In the future, he will be able to be as father expected, with outstanding literary talents, and win glory for our Shen family together with Qizhi." If the child's name surpasses Qizhi, Mrs. Shen will inevitably make trouble, and Master Shen was not satisfied at first Hearing what Yingxiu said, she silently said the word Qiwen and nodded.

"Father, if the snow doesn't stop, there will be many hungry people inside and outside the capital." Yingxiu glanced out the window and reminded him.

"If anyone's family can give the porridge first, the emperor will be very happy to know." Yingxiu pretended to mutter, "Otherwise, many people in and outside the city will starve to death."

Master Shen also glanced out of the window, "It's really early this year."

"Although the best our family can do is meager, if we wait until everyone opens a warehouse to give out porridge, I'm afraid a lot of people will starve to death." Yingxiu looked at Master Shen, hoping to see a hint of persistence in his eyes, even if the Shen family made the first move. , Distribute some cotton clothes and food, no matter how much, as long as someone does it first, then those aristocratic families will earn the reputation of being the first to grab it.

To Yingxiu's disappointment, Father Shen didn't show any enthusiasm. Yingxiu didn't mention anything anymore. When she came out of the study, the snow had stopped for a while, and she walked slowly to Yun Academy, where she was ill. For two years, she had almost forgotten what snow looked like, and the cold smell in the air made her feel comfortable.

In Yun Academy, Pinger and the others had already swept away the snow, and all of them were blushing from the cold on the pile of snowmen. Yingxiu ordered Pinger to make some ginger tea to drive them away from the cold...

Not only this Shen's residence, but the entire capital city seemed to have been changed by snow, the corners of the eaves and walls were covered with snow thickly, and there was no tendency to melt after a day and a night.

Liu Xu'er was wrapped tightly and stood under the eaves. The bamboo grove in front of the house was covered with a hint of green in the white, as if spring was coming. Her six-month-old body seemed to be bigger than normal. Liu Xu'er stood Feeling tired after a while, Tweety helped her into the house, and brought a bowl of hot soup for her to drink.

"Miss, the prince sent someone to report that he will come back today." Cui'er carefully looked at the expression on Liu Xu'er's face, and continued after seeing that there was nothing unusual, "The prince said he would stay here for a few days to accompany the lady."

A rare smile appeared on Liu Xu'er's face. After drinking the soup, she covered her stomach with one hand and half-lyed on the couch, "Then go and clean up the room next door."

Feeling sleepy, Liu Xu'er closed her eyes and fell asleep. Not long after, Qi Haocheng carried Xiaoxue to the other courtyard.

When I entered the room, I saw that there was no sound. I patted the snowflakes on my body and saw a figure lying on the chair, as if asleep.

Qi Haocheng walked over lightly, Liu Xu'er was sleeping very peacefully with her eyes closed, she hadn't seen her for almost a month, Qi Haocheng reached out to touch her, but was afraid that his hands would be too cold She just smoothed the hair on her earlobe, her eyes were full of pity.

He is very busy, busy preparing to marry someone else's woman into the mansion, his father made it very clear that if he does not marry, then his position as the eldest son will not be secure, and he will not be able to keep the woman he wants to keep, he does not love Zhuge Yuxin , but must marry her, even if he knows how unhappy the people here will be, his position does not allow him to do whatever he wants.

I just wronged her...

After tidying up the house, Tweety came in and found that Shizi Qi was already there, quietly backed out, brought some hot water in, put it on the shelf, and went out again, Qi Haocheng went over to warm his hands, and then gently stroked her face.

"You're here." Liu Xu'er was woken up by him, opened her sleepy eyes, and gave him a gentle smile, Qi Haocheng pulled her up and hugged her into his arms, looking at her swollen belly , "More than a month later, I don't know him at all."

"If you come later, you won't know each other even more." Liu Xu'er held his hand to the side of her stomach, "Recently he likes to move, and he always makes noise at night."

"Xu'er, I'm sorry for you." Qi Haosheng held her hand behind his back and put it to his lips for a kiss, "You can live here with peace of mind, I will always take your mother and child back."

Liu Xu'er nodded and leaned against him, "You're going to stay here for a few days. I've cleaned up the room next door. I make a lot of noise at night, and you won't be able to sleep well."

A look of apology flashed across Qi Haosheng's face, "I'll sleep with you at night, and I have to go back tomorrow. Now that the roads are blocked by heavy snow and hungry people are flooding in, my father wants me to go back and discuss the porridge."

Liu Xu'er looked sad, then smiled and shook her head, "You don't have to feel that there is any difficulty, I live here very well, this year's snow fell earlier than usual, if you are in a hurry, you should go back later, lest your father Blame you."

Qi Haocheng hugged her even tighter, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go back tomorrow, and I will accompany you tonight."
