Chapter 208: Good News
Amethyst has been in Jiangning Mansion for more than ten years, and the Cao Mansion family knows about it, but the person in front of him is unfamiliar.
I heard Chu Yu say: "She is Jing'er girl, and she and her second brother had no intention of saving her outside the city." Originally, she meant to ask her what other relatives she had, to see if she could help send her away. It seems that there is an aunt in the capital, so Chu Yu brought her to Yizhou by the way. She is a little girl, and she is casually entrusted to outsiders, which is also uneasy. When will we go back and forth to the capital, just drop her by the way, wouldn't it be cheap! ”
Amethyst smiled and nodded, and while looking at this Jing'er carefully, she said: "Uncle, although the second master has been kind-hearted since childhood, after all, it is the man's carelessness, or the county lord thinks carefully!" ”
Chu Yu beckoned to Na Jing'er: "Miss Jing'er, come forward, this is Sister Amethyst, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell Sister Amethyst!" Speaking of this, she looked at the dress around Jing'er, couldn't help but shake her head, and said to Xiyun: "What's going on, how to let people wear your clothes, this is so rude!" ”
Xiyun covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Gege, don't talk about slaves, it's not the two little hooves of Xiyan and Xicai, it's said that Miss Jing'er and Xixia are six points similar in size, so they will pick it up and compare it!" Xixia is so happy that she has always been the youngest, and now there is a younger sister! ”
The Jing'er girl first whispered hello to Amethyst, and then whispered, "No...... Out of the way! "The movement is not much bigger than that of mosquitoes, but fortunately, there are only a few people in the room, and it is quite quiet, so everyone can faintly hear it.
Chu Yu saw that she was pitifully restrained, and her voice was trilling, so she asked Xiyun to take Jing'er to the guest room first. When she went out, Fang said to Amethyst: "I've never seen such a small girl with guts, I didn't even dare to say anything when I rescued her for the first few days, this is already much better than before!" ”
Zijing thought about what Fang Chuyu mentioned, this Jing'er was going to the capital to find her aunt, not only because she was taking refuge with her relatives, but she also wanted to come to her parents and relatives were gone, and she was such a cowardly surname, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
* Coming out of Chu Yu's room, Xiyun looked at Jing'er who bowed her head and was silent, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said, "It's all those girls, it's embarrassing for the girl!" ”
Jing'er hurriedly shook her head: "No...... The sisters are very close to Jing'er! ”
Xiyun wanted to say something more, but he heard a cold snort: "What's the matter, don't pretend to be dumb now?" ”
But it was Cao Song who happened to pass by, first nodded at Xiyun, and then raised his hand, and glanced at Jing'er: "You are proud of playing the master?" I was so tired that I deliberately found a few people who were suffering from dumb diseases, but you are good, you can talk again! ”
Jing'er was startled by Cao Song's cold snort, and lowered her head and hid behind Xiyun.
Cao Song saw her cowering, unhappy, and frowned: "Look, it's like this again, people who don't know still think it's the master bullying you, it's really boring!" ”
Jing'er was still silent, but she was so scared that her body couldn't help trembling slightly.
Xiyun was very embarrassed, and was thinking about how to intercede with Cao Song. Cao Song shook his head, he had already gone far.
Seeing Jing'er's red eyes, Xiyun hurriedly comforted: "Actually, the second master is very good, the most refreshing, I don't know why you are so afraid of him?" I'm afraid that the more you are like this, the more he will stab you before he is willing. You just need to be generous, after all, you are a guest, can the second master bully you a girl? ”
Jing'er nodded and followed Xiyun to the guest room.
* Because Cao Hao and Chu Yu arrived, it was considered to be a reception for the two, and the dinner prepared in this house was sumptuous. It was also the separation of male and female dependents, and a few tables of wine and food were rectified.
On the inner hall, on the main seat are Chu Yu, Lianqiu, Xiqiu's two aunts, Jade Dragonfly, Amethyst, and the wives of Han and Lu. Originally, Chu Yu also invited Miss Jing'er to the table, but she refused to say anything, and in the end she just followed Xiyun and them at another table.
In the outer hall, in addition to Cao Hao, Cao Song, Zhuang Xi and Wei Hei, there are also two clan relatives of Cao Tingxiao and Cao Tingwei and two masters of Han and Lu. Han and Lu's two masters and Zhuang Xi's brother Zhuang Chang are also old friends, that is, they have met Zhuang Xi in their early years, and they are not familiar with each other.
Cao Tingxiao and Cao Tingwei, one twenty-five and one twenty-two, have already married their own sons. Now his wife and children stayed in the south to take care of the old man, and did not come with him. The two of them, as juniors, would not have sat at the same table with the two uncles. Because they are loyal and dutiful, and they speak and act with steadiness, Cao Hao and Cao Song have a good impression of them, so they said that they don't need these politeness, let them come over and have dinner together.
Although Cao Hao was not interested in cronyism, he had to admit that the ancient clan was powerful. It's Ye Shi, the nerd Zhizhou, and the errands in the yamen are also controlled by the family, so there is nothing wrong.
Looking at Cao Song, who was fighting with Wei Hei, Cao Hao couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart. It seems that like myself and Mr. Zhuang, I know more and live a more tired life. What if he didn't live instead of "Xiao Cao Hao", but "Xiao Cao Hao" himself was in this world? Anyway, I won't be depressed for the sake of "text prison".
Cao Hao took a sip of wine, and a new dish was brought on the table. I heard Cao Song laugh twice, stretched out his chopsticks and gave Cao Hao a chopstick head, and then looked at Cao Hao with bright eyes.
Cao Hao looked at Cao Song like this, it was really funny, he used chopsticks to bring the food he sent to his mouth, and chewed it twice. It's just a fried scorpion, and I ate a lot at the temple fair in my last life, so what's so strange.
Cao Song saw that his brother had eaten, hesitated for a while, and also put one in his mouth, and couldn't help nodding vigorously.
Although this fried scorpion, except for Mr. Zhuang, everyone else is the first time to see it, but even the Cao Hao brothers have eaten it, and the rest of them are naturally open-eyed, and they all say that they are delicious.
All of a sudden, while drinking, listening to Mr. Zhuang chatter about the customs here, the atmosphere on the wine table became lively.
Cao Hao's mood was also better, smiling and listening to everyone's gossip, at this time, a small guy came over and whispered a message beside him, saying that it was a second door to pass the word, and Sister Amethyst asked the uncle to come over.
Cao Hao ate almost enough, immediately drank a glass of wine, asked everyone to use it slowly, and walked out of the front hall by himself and entered the second door.
Youhuan'er was already waiting here, with a little anxiety on his face, and when he saw Cao Hao coming in, he hurriedly said, "Uncle, is the county lord uncomfortable?" Sister Amethyst has already sent someone to ask for a doctor, please go over and take a look! ”
When Cao Hao heard this, he let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and his feet immediately flew quickly, and while running to the upper room of the inner courtyard, he asked Huan'er: "What's the matter?" What's not comfortable, isn't it okay before dinner? ”
Huan'er said: "The slave maid doesn't know, looking at Sister Amethyst's panicked appearance, she is a little scared!" ”
Tired, frozen? Cao Hao's mind was in a mess, and it wasn't until he rushed to the inner hall Chu Yu's room that he was calmer. Pity Qiu, Pity Autumn, and Jade Dragonfly were all there, and when they saw Cao Hao coming, they all leaned over and retreated.
Only Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Han are both old, and they don't shy away from them, they look at Cao Hao with a smile, and they don't look too worried.
Cao Hao was worried about Chu Yu, and he didn't have the heart to wonder where the laughter of Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Han came from, so she hugged her fists slightly, which was considered a salute, so she hurried to the side of the bed, looked at Chu Yu carefully, and asked, "What's uncomfortable?" But the road is lacking? ”
Chu Yu's face was pale, but his eyes showed some joy, and he saw Cao Hao looking at himself like this, and his cheeks were flushed.
Even if it is "care, it is chaotic", Cao Hao also found that something was wrong, although Chu Yu's face looked whiter, but his spirit was full and he was not sick at all.
Chu Yu seemed to be shy, just bowed his head slightly, and did not answer.
Cao Hao was puzzled, Amethyst came in from outside, didn't see Cao Hao next to the bed, and said to Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Han: "Thank you two masters for mentioning, I have gone to the kitchen to check, there is nothing taboo in tonight's dishes!" It's what the county lord used before, and I also asked Xiyun about them, and there is nothing wrong with it, it's really a blessing! ”
"What's wrong?" Cao Hao was confused, turned around and asked.
Only then did Amethyst see that Cao Hao was also there, and when she heard her ask, she was speechless for a while, and looked at Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Han in embarrassment.
Walking along the way, although Cao Hao, Lu and Han have the names of guests and hosts, he has always been peaceful and habitual, and rarely puts on a stand. This not only made the two masters of Lu and Han feel ironed in their hearts, even if the two masters looked at him, they were also close to him.
Now, there are no elders in the Cao family, and Amethyst, the housekeeper, is a girl's family, so the two masters and wives helped to tell Cao Hao.
During the banquet, Chu Yu vomited when he smelled the smell of meat, and listened to Xiyun who followed him, this is not the first time. The two mothers and Aunt Lianqiu all came over, and immediately thought about whether it was a joy or not, and asked Chu Yu, but it was Xiaoyue who was half a month late. It seems that eighty percent of them are there, and now they are waiting to ask the doctor to come to diagnose the pulse.
Cao Hao was dumbfounded, how could there be? Obviously, every time I ...... Looking back at Chu Yu, his eyebrows were full of joy, Cao Hao was very guilty, and he really didn't know if he had done it right or wrong.
I am afraid that this so-called "bad joy" is just an illusion, which will disappoint Chu Yu; I'm afraid that this is true, so that Chu Yu will face the pain of childbirth at such a young age. For a moment, he looked at Chu Yu and was speechless.
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Han only thought he was happily stupid, pursed their lips at each other, smiled, and withdrew.
Amethyst's heart was full of joy, both happy and worried, and her mind was in a mess. For a while, I thought that this place was remote, and I was afraid that there would be no good doctors, so I had to call the capital to invite them; After thinking for a while, it would be good if the first child was a boy, and the uncle could be regarded as a queen, and the old lady didn't know how to be happy.
While talking, the maid came to report that Lang Zhong had been invited. Mr. Zhuang and others in the front yard also heard the letter and were also waiting for news from here.
Amethyst hurriedly took Xiyun and a few people to put down the bed curtain and asked Lang Zhong to come over to check the pulse.
Na Langzhong's surname is Zhao, he is a famous local doctor, and his family has been a doctor for generations, so he knows that this is the Yamen of Daotai Mansion, so he acts very respectfully. I also saw that the furnishings in the house were not common, and I didn't dare to be sloppy.
After diagnosing the pulse through the handkerchief, Zhao Lang got up and went to the outer room.
Cao Hao asked someone to serve tea, and Zhao Langzhong saw that he was so young, and thought that he was the son of the Taoist who took office with his father, and hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations to this young master, the young lady is indeed happy!" ”
Although he was also worried, but thinking that Chu Yu didn't have to be disappointed because of this, Cao Hao still felt a little happy, and didn't care too much about what was wrong with Zhao Langzhong's title, and hurriedly called for someone to offer him a consultation fee.
Zhao Langzhong thought that this was to send off the guests, so he got up and said goodbye. Cao Hao said: "Please stay, my wife is the first child, what do you need to pay attention to, or how to raise a fetus or something, please give advice to Mr!" ”
Zhao Langzhong also often goes in and out of the official mansions in Yizhou, and he also knows the title of officialdom, and he is very puzzled when he hears Cao Hao call the people in the room "Mrs". According to the rules of this dynasty, only the main room of this and second-grade officials can be called "madam", how can this prince be so angry?
This doubt, Zhao Langzhong thought that he had not heard the news of his appointment, and that he would not be able to temporarily settle here if he was a noble person passing through Yizhou. Therefore, he was afraid that the "nobles" in it would make any mistakes and affect his net worth and surname, so he wrote all the home remedies and secret methods he knew about raising and protecting the fetus.
Cao Hao looked at the long doctor's order, and the uneasiness in his heart eased slightly. It can be regarded as being prepared, and everyone who should pay attention to it has been noted, and then send a letter to the Chunwang Mansion in the capital, and invite the two imperial doctors and skilled midwives to come over, it should not make Chu Yu make a mistake.
*The capital, the place of the elder brother, the residence of the sixteenth elder brother.
The sixteenth elder brother was walking around the outer room, very restless, and when he saw the imperial doctor coming out of the inner room, he immediately greeted him and asked, "How is it?" Fujin She ...... Fujin, but she has it? ”
The old lady doctor immediately smiled and said: "The minister has said hello to the sixteenth elder brother, Fujin does have a body, and it has been more than a month!" ”
The sixteenth elder brother's expression froze, and then he smiled and said, "What a great joy!" In my heart, I felt very guilty about the Li family, who was still recuperating in Changping, and originally wanted her to give birth to her eldest son, but I didn't expect that there would be a result after a few days of getting married with Guo Luoluo.
After a month and a half of marriage, although Guo Luoluo is a bride, he is very shy, and he usually speaks softly. But the sixteenth elder brother was still not at ease, so he deliberately showed favor to a girl who came to marry. As expected, the girl asked Guo Luo Luo to find a reason to get out of the palace a few days later.
The sixteenth elder brother thought about her character, and was afraid that the Li family would be wronged when he came back, so he kept dragging it out and didn't bring anyone back. Now that she is pregnant again, if she finds some more crimes for the Li family, how can she give birth well?
Maybe it's because I'm tired of Guo Luoluo's family, and the sixteenth elder brother has nothing to be happy about for the upcoming son-in-law, so after thinking about it, I decided to wait for Guo Luoluo's baby to come back after the baby is safe, which can be regarded as a precaution! When something happened when she was saved, and then it hit Li's head, wouldn't that hurt her?
The harem said that it was not big, it was not small, and the imperial doctor here gave the letter to Zhun, and the concubines in the harem had a lot of news, and some of them were diligent, and they immediately congratulated Concubine Yi and the princess. The two elders naturally said that the other concubines in the harem also had their own gifts.
The princess was overjoyed, the three sons she gave birth to, the eighteenth elder brother who died early is not counted, the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother have married wives and concubines, this is the first time to hear good news.
Concubine Yi not only asked someone to prepare a lot of things to send over, but also thought about it, and sent the palace maid to visit her niece, and when she saw that she was in good health, she took it to Yikun Palace to talk.
Guo Luoluo is two years younger than Brother Sixteen, and he is only sixteen years old this year, which is the age of youth and beauty. And because she was pregnant, the whole person looked very happy.
Concubine Yi took her niece's hand and carefully asked if there was anything she liked to eat or wanted to eat, and asked if the sixteenth elder brother was considerate and if the palace people were naughty.
Although Guo Luoluo faced his aunt, he didn't dare to be as casual as Concubine Yi. When she was born, Concubine Yi had already entered the palace, and she had already been promoted to the position of concubine and became a nobleman relied on by the whole family. Speaking of which, before the 48th draft, she only followed her aunt and mother into the palace to ask for an an, and met this aunt once. After the draft, although there were more times to ask for peace, it was no wonder that the fingers of one hand could be counted. faintly, there is fear in the heart.
Concubine Yi chatted for a while, and then called a palace maid to come forward to greet Guo Luoluo, and said: "You are not going to say anything now, there is still a side Fujin outside, and you will return to the palace soon!" The lotus incense is used to being called by this palace, and she is very loyal and steady, let her go over to wait for you, and this palace is more at ease! ”
Guo Luo Luo was very puzzled, and whispered: "Niangniang, there is no shortage of manpower over there?" ”
Concubine Yi looked at Guo Luoluo and said with a smile: "Didn't you still annoy the palace a while ago for getting rid of your maid for marriage, and I will compensate you for a lotus root today, which will save you from being lonely in peace!" ”
Guo Luo Luo listened to it, this party knew Concubine Yi's intentions, although he was reluctant in his heart, but what could he do? The royal daughter-in-law, the word "jealousy" is absolutely untouchable, so she had to smile and thank her aunt for taking care of her.
