Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 95

A few days later, the things obtained from the separation were handed over to Chenxiangyuan, the contract between Zhuangzi and the shop, as well as some jewelry and silver taels.

Once the family was separated, the people who were originally in the Zhuangzi also directly handed in the account books, and were arranged by the big house to go to other places, leaving them with empty Zhuangzi and closed shops that no one was operating.

Jin's stinginess lies in the fact that she can't be so obvious like Sifang. How can the mistress of the Shao family be so narrow-minded? She can only do something in such a place to make herself feel more comfortable.

Lin Qingran didn't have so much energy to recruit unfamiliar people to manage the Zhuangzi and the shop, and she didn't want to use people from the Shao family. He and Zhuangzi were sold and discounted directly.

Shao Ziyu said that Lin Qingran is a miser, and one of Lin Qingran's favorite things to do is to save money. In her previous life, Lin Qingran had such a dream of being very successful, sleeping until she woke up naturally, and counting money until her hands cramp , Lin Qingran told Shao Ziyu about this dream, and Shao Ziyu was overjoyed, and handed over to Lin Qingran the other things that his grandfather had left for him from his second uncle.

That is another Zhuangzi and shop.

Master Shao has always felt ashamed of his youngest son, and even Shao Ziyu, and left him with an extra share. Of course, this was not included in the booklet when the family was separated.

It was October, and Lin Qingran's body was getting heavier and heavier. In the first few months, her belly grew very fast. Counting the due date, Lin Qingran said with a smile that the two children had all got together, Han My brother was born in December, and this child is estimated to be around this time.

At the end of October, a major event happened in the palace. The empress dowager, who had been in poor health, suddenly fell ill. On the early morning of the twelfth day, the death knell in the palace rang, and the empress dowager died.

As soon as the people in Luodu City heard the bell, every family hung up white cloths, and mourned in the palace for three days, and all the officials and women went into the palace in mourning clothes. On the side of Shao Mansion, Lin Qingran was already Nine months pregnant, Shao Ziyu asked her to stay at home, "If the empress dowager can sympathize with your inconvenience, you can stay at home."

Kneeling in the palace lasted for three days. With Shao Ziyu's rank, Lin Qingran had to go to the palace to cry and mourn, but with her current body, she couldn't bear to kneel for half a day, even half an hour.

In terms of form, everything had to be done. Mother Li put a futon in the next room, Lin Qingran changed into plain clothes, and leaned on the soft couch with the handkerchief in her hand. It was right not to smile these days.

Shao Ziyu went into the palace, the crying in front of the palace was almost loud, the royal family was in front, and the official family members were in the back, the officials were arranged on one side, Shao Ziyu didn't see his father-in-law, probably he was in the front hall to accompany him. With the emperor.

Now this November day, the front of the hall is very cold when the wind blows, within half a day, some concubines fainted from crying, no matter how good their bodies are, they couldn't bear it, and on the second day, more people fainted. Go back, wake up and have to come back and cry.

Are there any official female family members who fainted from crying, but many are tired from kneeling. After three days, everyone can lose a lot of weight. Shao Ziyu, a big man, is also very tired. After returning to Shao's house, Lin Qingran saw him Are a little scared.

After taking a good bath, this is not the end, Shao Ziyu has to go to the palace the next day, this has been a full seven days, until the funeral in the palace is over, there is still a sad atmosphere everywhere.

The palace observes filial piety for one year, and the common people observe filial piety for a hundred days. Those who get married within a hundred days also re-select the date. Lin Qingran counts this day, and they move to a new home. The wedding banquet has to be chosen some days later.

A few days later, Mrs. Yu came to see her, and she didn't seem to be in a good spirit. The first sentence she saw Lin Qingran said, "It's this month that makes you avoid it." If only four or five With Yue's pregnancy, Lin Qingran might not be able to avoid going to the palace to kneel for some hours.

"Sit down, Siqin, go and make a pot of moist tea." Lin Qingran beckoned her to sit down, and Yu Shi cleared her throat, "I waited for several days to calm down before I came to see you. "

"Sister-in-law Four should take more rest, Aunt Three is okay."

"I'm tired too. We went together. Auntie cried most attentively." When Yu Shi said this, her tone was not salty, and she didn't know what she meant. Lin Qingran smiled, " The empress dowager is kind."

The two were chatting, Yu said that they would move out after the new year, Yu's face was a little helpless, "Before I got married, I never thought that I would marry such a family." The appearance is glamorous, but the inside is It's like a pot of porridge, and now, the porridge can't be maintained.

But Mrs. Yu is also fortunate that she married the third wife of the Shao family, not the eldest and fourth wife.

"Your fourth brother often mentions to me that he must leave the Shao family if he has the opportunity in the future. Like you, he wants to go to a farther place, and it is best to leave Luodu City. At first I couldn't understand him, but now I think I think it would be nice to go out to live." When Yu said it, she was envious of Lin Qingran moving out.

Lin Qingran heard from her that Mrs. Yu, who came back from the palace crying spirit, seemed to have endless things to say.

Her voice was still a little hoarse, and Lin Qingran changed her tea twice on the way. She mentioned the third brother who took the third sister-in-law back to her mother's house a few times. The third sister-in-law does not take concubines, and has not had a concubine room so far.

Yu also mentioned Lin Qingran and Shao Ziyu, with envy in her tone, "I knew what kind of person Xiao Wu was before you married in, but after you entered, he changed a lot."

Lin Qingran faintly grasped the point of what she said. It seemed that she and Shao Ziyu were connected with the third brother and the third sister-in-law, but she was indeed an exception. It should be said that she and the fourth brother were exceptions.

No matter how powerful a woman is, she needs someone to protect her, not to mention that this woman is actually not strong, and she really needs her husband to stand up in front of her, protect her behind her, and say that everything depends on him.

This has not yet mentioned the category of love. Looking at Lin Qingran and the third sister-in-law, Mrs. Yu always felt that she was missing a lot.

Maybe it's because there has been only one child, Sister Lan, maybe it's because Shao Ziming is not keen on her room, maybe it's because Shao Ziming is always out, which makes her feel a little bit out of focus. In short, after seven years of marriage, Yu's first time There was a sense of loss, and the origin of this sense of loss was precisely because during the three days of crying, she saw other officials coming to greet her wife, but she did not see Shao Ziming coming to see her.

It's a kind of compassion, when I didn't find it, I had a good time, but once I found out, my heart would be very troublesome, at the end, Yu Shi laughed at herself, "It seems that I am not as indifferent as I imagined. "

In this regard, Lin Qingran didn't know how to comfort her at all, because she was afraid that anything she said would become a kind of showing off in front of Mrs. Yu.

Like the elder sister, she married into the He family at the beginning, and had such a good relationship with her elder brother-in-law, but gradually, many things wiped out this relationship, and now the elder sister has long been disheartened by the initial happiness in her heart.

In front of the fourth sister-in-law, she had never had such an initial beauty.

"You don't have to think about how to comfort me. I just don't understand it all of a sudden. After a while, I will figure it out." Shi Yu smiled lightly, "It's the same with father and mother, that's all. .”

The reason why such an idea arises is probably that the one he thought a woman didn't show up when she needed it the most.

Lin Qingran poured her another cup of tea, "All kinds of tastes, you think others are good, others are not necessarily good, you think your life is not as good as others, but in fact it is not, you can only experience it when you are in it."

Mrs. Yu thinks clearly, but Lin Qingran doesn't need to remind her, she just said it, a woman as transparent as the fourth sister-in-law, I am afraid that after this hour, she will not be like this again in the next hour.

When women talk to each other and complain, they never need opinions, but need to be listened to. Her opinions are well known in her heart before she speaks them out.

So Lin Qingran talked with her for more than an hour.

Two days later, Lin Qingran sent someone to deliver things to Mrs. Yu. Si Qi said that the fourth lady looked very good. Lin Qingran knew that she was thinking about it again.

At the end of November, it was getting colder and colder, and the atmosphere of the New Year began to rise, but it was still the hundred-day filial piety period, and the streets and alleys were not so lively.

When Lin Qingran woke up this morning, she had just gotten out of bed to put on her shoes, when something went wrong and she was about to give birth.

This child came much more urgently than Brother Han, and he didn't even want Lin Qingran to have a few mouthfuls of breakfast. The pain was very fast. From the beginning, the pain became more severe in half an hour.

Mother Li hurried to the backyard to call the stable woman who had been invited earlier, to boil the water, to prepare the house, to prepare the house, Shao Ziyu hadn't gone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and sent someone to ask for leave. with.

An hour later, Lin Qingran couldn't walk anymore, her amniotic fluid broke, and she could only lie down.

The swelling of the abdomen became more and more severe. Lin Qingran couldn't stand it a few times, and cried out in pain. Po Wen took a look, "Ma'am, you have to bear it any longer."

Lin Qingran wanted to bear it, but the child was impatient, and he was in a hurry to figure it out. He had already given birth to a child, and Lin Qingran was too familiar with this feeling, so he grabbed the arm of Si Hua, "Go, give me some face." Come, let me eat some more."

Lin Qingran predicted it quite accurately, after eating half a bowl of noodles, she was in so much pain that she couldn't eat any more. The contractions were so rapid that she wanted to push the baby out, and the birth seemed to be smoother than the first one. But because the birth was too urgent, Lin Qingran broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

One lady Wen pushed her stomach, the other ordered Lin Qingran to hold her breath, and Shao Ziyu and the second wife He Shi were waiting outside the house.

In fact, the child came several days earlier than Lin Qingran expected. Lin Qingran took a last breath, and Granny Wen grabbed the protruding head and asked her to use more strength to pull the child out up.

Lin Qingran looked tiredly at the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes from the corner of her eye. It was almost time for lunch, and the kid was in a hurry, so he was in a hurry to eat this lunch
