Amnesty's daily life
Chapter 103
Aunt Zhao was found out to be pregnant in August last year. At that time, because she was too young and she had no experience, she started to move her fetus the next morning after serving Jia Zheng.Fortunately, Aunt Zhao was young and her body was always in good health. At least compared to the weak willow Fufeng of a wealthy family, Aunt Zhao, who was born with a daughter, was extraordinarily strong and healthy. After the flesh and blood, Aunt Zhao was at ease in Lixiangyuan to raise her baby, basically in a state of unfavorable things.
Since August last year, the doctor said that Aunt Zhao was less than two months pregnant, but now it is mid-March, counting the days, she has been pregnant for almost nine months.Although there is an old saying that you can conceive in ten months, in fact, very few people will be pregnant for ten months. Basically, it is normal to give birth after nine months, unless it is like when Nala Shuxian gave birth to twelve months. Seven or eight months, that's very unusual.
"Zhao...you mean that the pearl is about to be born?" Mother Jia stared blankly at the maidservant who came to report the news. Seeing her nodding her head desperately, Mother Jia just sighed helplessly, "Why did you rush to this stall?"
That's what I said, but things like having a baby are beyond the control of a pregnant woman.Of course, it is still possible to use drugs to induce birth on a particularly auspicious day, but obviously, it is impossible for Aunt Zhao to do so, and there is absolutely no need to do so.
"May Wen please invite me? Are all the things ready for production?" Mother Jia has actually got up at this moment and plans to leave Rongqing Hall, but no matter how low Aunt Zhao's status is, the child in her stomach is The real heirs of the Jia family, even though Jia's mother already had several grandchildren, would not mind having one more.
"This, this... Going back to the old lady, she said that she didn't prepare anything."
"What?" Jia Mu originally thought that if everything was safe, it would be fine for her to go to Bowling Hou's Mansion. After all, whether it was La Shuxian or Mrs. Wang, it was not really useful during childbirth. fuck her.But she obviously overlooked one thing, Aunt Zhao is completely different from those two.
"Old lady, Aunt Zhou is outside, do you want to call her back?"
"Don't let her come in right away!" Mother Jia shouted angrily.
Not long after, Aunt Zhou, who is known for her honesty and dullness on weekdays, walked in.In fact, Aunt Zhou is no stranger to this Rongqingtang. In fact, both she and Aunt Zhao, who has already begun to mobilize, used to be very embarrassing maids in front of Mother Jia.This matter is easy to understand, if you don't win Jia Mu's favor first, how can you get close to Jia Zheng's body and serve him personally?Aunt Zhou was once sent to Jia Zheng’s house by Jia’s mother. At first, she was the most respectable maid. It has been ten years.
When she came to Rongqing Hall again, Aunt Zhou respectfully greeted Mother Jia, she hadn't been here for quite some time, and the last time she came, she followed Mrs. Wang to greet Mother Jia.However, it has been more than half a month since Mrs. Wang returned to her natal home, and Mrs. Wang did not bring Aunt Zhou with her every time she came to pay her respects, so she hadn't seen Mother Jia for about a month or so.
"Old lady, when Aunt Zhao woke up this morning, she had some unusual fetal movements. She called me over to talk. Although I have never conceived a child, I saw my wife give birth twice. I wonder if it's time. Mrs. Pian is not in the mansion now, neither is the eldest wife, so I had to ask someone to boil hot water and call two experienced women to help. Unexpectedly, two hours passed, Aunt Zhao's face turned pale from the pain, but the child didn't move at all."
"Then you just came back to talk now?" Jia Mu was so angry that she was helpless, and when she saw that the once pretty maid with picturesque features was now a solemn and serious little woman, she immediately sighed softly. , "Forget it, I won't go to the Bowling Marquis's mansion today. Hurry up and get someone to invite Mrs. Wen, hurry up!"
After a pause, Mother Jia hesitated and said, "Where is Madam Lai? Ask her to help prepare all the things needed for delivery, and send them over quickly, go quickly! Sigh..."
With Jia's mother's words, the subordinates quickly started to do things. Some went to the front yard to inform housekeeper Lai to find a steady wife, some went to find Nanny Lai, and some were friends with Aunt Zhao. , hurriedly ran to Lixiangyuan, thinking that maybe he could help.Fortunately, Aunt Zhao started it in the morning, although two hours had passed, she hadn't actually given birth yet, and when Steward Lai hurriedly found Mrs. Wen, everything was still in time.As for the many things to be used in production, although it is a bit cumbersome, fortunately, Rongguo Mansion is very experienced, and last time when Nala Shuxian was born at twelve o'clock, he prepared several things, and they never ran out of them. After a while, it was dug out and rushed to Lixiangyuan.
In Pear Fragrance Courtyard, before entering the courtyard gate, one could hear the heart-piercing screams inside.Aunt Zhao is young and has a strong body, so the same cry is extremely loud, with a more tragic vigor.
Jade and Agate looked at each other.
They had already reached the entrance of Lixiangyuan, and there was no one who would back down at this point. After looking at each other, the two gritted their teeth and mustered up the courage to go in.At this stall, the yard has already been busy. Apart from the original maids, Mammy Lai also brought a few veterans to come. Although busy, it seems that they are still busy and orderly.
"Why did you two come here? By the way, you and Aunt Zhao grew up together." Nanny Lai was a little suspicious at first, but then she said calmly, "However, the delivery room is not where you guys are. This little girl should come, if you really want to help me, watch these little maids for me, if I want to send a message to Rongqingtang later, I will tell you."
"Okay, Nanny Lai." Fei Cui forced herself to be calm with a pale face.The agate beside him also nodded heavily, and the two quickly went to the tea room, seeing that there seemed to be not enough hot water, they lowered their heads to discuss, and then went to find Madam Lai, only to go to the big kitchen to requisition a big iron pot Come to boil hot water.
The two came in a hurry, then left in a hurry, Fei Cui looked back with an extremely ugly expression, and was dragged away by Agate.After walking all the way to the big kitchen at the front and completely away from the Rika-in in the west courtyard, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.After he regained his composure, he hurriedly looked for the nanny in charge of the big kitchen, and asked her to stop the work at hand and boil a few pots of hot water for preparation.
Because these two are the big maids in Jia's mother's room, the steward of the big kitchen never made it difficult for them.Of course, it is impossible to completely stop the work at hand, so I only ordered to keep the stove and pot specially for Jia Mu's cooking and for everyone in the front yard and study, and all the other people stopped.
Seeing that the people in the kitchen were busy, and there was a lot of voices here, the faces of the people who came and went were also as usual, and the faces of the jade and agate slowly returned to normal.
"Manao, you said sister Pearl..."
"It should be Aunt Zhao." Manao hurriedly corrected, and couldn't help but glance to the side.
Fei Cui was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said obediently: "Yes, it's Aunt Zhao. I mean, is she okay? I, I remembered the past, when I was only six or seven years old Well, when my mother was giving birth to my younger sister, she just yelled like this, and suddenly she fell silent. Later, Granny Wen pulled my younger sister out, but her little face was purple and her lips were black and blue. Yes, I won't cry either. In the future, my father will send my mother and sister away..."
"Sister Fei Cui." Manao subconsciously held Fei Cui's hand. Of the eight maidservants in front of Jiamu, only a few were born daughters, and most of them were sold into the house.It's nothing more than having a daughter in this family, the whole family has been working in the Rongguo Mansion for generations, but if they sell their bodies to enter the mansion, everyone has their own sorrows.
"I'm fine. It's just that my father married another woman. She didn't like me, so she instigated my father to sell me. Fortunately, the man I was looking for at the time was a good tooth. Looking at me, I looked better than ordinary poor people. My daughter is much more upright, she didn't sell me at a low price, but sent me to the mansion after a few months of careful teaching. Now that I think about it, I still have to thank her."
"It's fine." Manao pursed her lips, turned around and urged a few words loudly, and then lowered her voice and said to Fei Cui, "You don't have to worry about Aunt Zhao, I heard that she made preparations earlier. That ...Her mother and sister are here."
"what?"
"Did you forget? Aunt Zhao is the daughter of the family. When she was just pregnant, she kept her head down and didn't dare to say anything. But later, I heard that she went to the central government to take care of her mother and sister. Come in. It's not a decent job, her mother seems to be taking the position of a rough envoy, and her sister is a third-class maid." After a pause, Manao said again, "Just relax Come on, she's smart!"
"That's good." Fei Cui nodded, and immediately seeing Manao's slightly disapproving look, she reached out and patted the back of her hand, and persuaded, "I know you think she didn't treat you well in the past, but why don't you want to?" Think, there were eight of us back then, how many are left now? The glass was knocked out by the old man, and it was said that it disappeared in last winter. The tourmaline is a bit clever, and it is said that it was with Lai Mammy’s son, but it’s true. Let her do it. Sister Pearl became Aunt Zhao, and Sister Hupo went to the big room. There are eight of us, so there are only the two of us, mandarin ducks, and parrots left."
The maid of Liushui has an iron name, and the maids in front of Jia Mu have gone and come again. Unfortunately, even if the name has not changed, she is no longer the same person she used to be.
The departure of Tourmaline and Glass before was not a big problem. Although they were also first-class maids, it was Pearl and Amber who really controlled the work around Jia Mu.But as Pearl and Amber also left Rongqing Hall one after another, it was naturally the turn of the remaining four.As for the replacement, they will be selected among the twenty or so second-class maids, but due to the many things happening recently, they have not been fully determined.
"Don't mention mandarin ducks and parrots. Aunt Zhao was domineering on the old lady before, but it's because she is older than us. Not to mention good-looking, she has a sweet mouth and is quick to do things. Although I am a little jealous Yes, but it is considered a blessing in the end. But what are mandarin ducks and parrots? How can we compare them?" Manao puffed her cheeks and said bitterly, "Just talking about this matter today, why don't they come? Why don't they come? We two, if you want to talk about love, they are both daughters of the family, didn't we get better with Aunt Zhao in the past?"
"Amber didn't come, can you count on them?" Fei Cui pulled the agate suddenly, but the two big iron pots in the big kitchen were boiling. In the tea room in the house, it may take another half an hour to boil the water, and the amount of boiling once is not that much.
Because the water was boiling, the nanny in charge of the big kitchen hurriedly called several women with big arms and round waists to pour the water into the urn prepared earlier in the morning, and because it was heavy and hot, it took two people to lift one. urn.Just like that, led by Jade and Agate to Rikain.
It took another half an hour to go back and forth.
However, even though half an hour passed in a short while, the Lixiangyuan was just as it was when they left.The maidservants in the yard were still busy, and Aunt Zhao's cries in the delivery room still existed, but after listening carefully, she could vaguely distinguish that Aunt Zhao's voice was not as full of air as before.
Fei Cui looked towards the direction of the delivery room with a worried expression on her face, and when she turned her head, she happened to meet Agate who was also worried, and she immediately felt relieved.It seems that no matter how mean what Ma Nao said, she is still worried about Aunt Zhao.To put it bluntly, although there is competition among the few of them, there is no enmity. After all, they are sisters who grew up together...
"You guys go to Rongqing Hall and tell the old lady that Aunt Zhao's head is fine. Just now, Mrs. Wen said that the child has faintly seen the head. She is young and healthy, so she will be fine." Lai Mammy came over suddenly and said.
"Well, okay." When Fei Cui heard this, she immediately smiled, pushed the agate lightly, pulled her and ran back together, "Hurry up and tell the old lady, so that the old lady doesn't always carry an agate." Heart."
In Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia got the news, and she relaxed a little, thinking that Aunt Zhao should be able to give birth to the child before this evening. I went to visit Bowlinghou Mansion.
The idea is very beautiful, but the reality is always somewhat different from the idea.Sometimes the difference is very small, but more often it looks like there is no difference on the surface, but in fact the difference is huge.
Aunt Zhao had a difficult delivery.
No one expected that Aunt Zhao, who seemed to be in good health, suddenly had a dystocia when she faintly saw the child's head.Don't say that Mother Jia, who has been staying in the Rongqing Hall, is stunned, even Lai, who has been staying in Lixiangyuan, is full of disbelief.After ordering someone to inform Mother Jia of the situation, Nanny Lai simply entered the delivery room herself. She had already given birth to two sons and two daughters, so even if the delivery room was a little unlucky, it would not have much impact.
Nanny Lai thought about it, probably because Aunt Zhao was too young and didn't know where to put her strength, which made it a bit more difficult, but when she really entered the delivery room, she realized that what she had guessed was so good.
With sweat all over her head and face, Mrs. Wen told Nanny Lai clearly that the reason why Aunt Zhao had a difficult delivery had nothing to do with her body, but because the child was too big.
During the delivery process, there are three situations that Wen Po fears most.
First, the mother's bones are not good, and she has no energy to give birth at all.
Second, the fetal position is not correct, the child's hands or feet come out first, not the normal head.
Third, the child is too big.
Now this situation is the third one.To be honest, no matter which one of these three situations is, it is extremely difficult to solve.If the parturient has no strength, pouring the decoction might force the parturient to exert herself.If the fetal position is not correct, rub the mother's belly desperately to see if she can turn the baby upside down by chance.The last one is the most likely situation where the child is suffocated inside, or the child is forced to come out, but the mother bleeds to death.If it is more serious, it may not be impossible to kill two people.
After learning that the child might be too big, Nanny Lai turned pale all of a sudden.
In today's Rongguo Mansion, the head wife, Nala Shuxian, is not at the mansion, and the second wife, Mrs. Wang, who was supposed to be here, has also returned to her natal home, and both of them brought their most valued nanny with them before they left. Mother and maid, so that when Aunt Zhao gave birth, she had to be guarded by Lai.The problem is, just because the two wives are not at the house, once Aunt Zhao has any accident, the consequences will have to be borne by Lai Momo.
It's not up to her to bear the burden. Could it be that Jia's mother is still expected to take the blame?
Nanny Lai is going crazy, you must know that not only the two wives are not in the house, but also the two masters are also not here!When Jia Zheng came back from Yangzhou, if he found that his concubine and child were gone, wouldn't he tear her alive?For the present plan, the most important thing is to keep the child first!
"Have you prepared any decoction? You must keep the child, you must keep the child!" Nanny Lai ordered in repeated voices.
I don't want to, as soon as Nanny Lai finished speaking, she was hit hard by someone. Because she had no defense before, Nanny Lai just staggered and fell heavily on her back to the ground. get up.
"Oh, my little ancestor! Why are you bumping into her? Nanny Lai, Nanny Lai, are you okay? Come on, help Nanny Lai out to rest, hurry up!" A man in his early thirties looked The beautiful woman forcibly pulled Nanny Lai up from the ground, and the pain was so great that Nanny Lai couldn't help crying out in pain. Even so, the woman didn't hesitate at all, and pulled her out of the delivery room abruptly. He dragged it out.
Until she left the delivery room, Nanny Lai still couldn't recover.After a long time, she vaguely remembered that the person who bumped into her just now should be a small figure who was not too tall, and after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be a seven or eight-year-old girl.
Of course it's a girl, if there is a child in the delivery room, it will be called a ghost!
"Damn Mrs. Zhao! You wait for me!" Lai Momo finally regained her breath, supported her waist with one hand, and grabbed the passing maid with the other, and stood upright at the door of the delivery room with great reluctance, "Yes Who let Mrs. Zhao come in? And that little girl, Mrs. Zhao's little girl?"
Unlike Nama Rong who has been serving in front of Nala Shuxian, although Nanny Lai is also a nanny in charge, she does not serve the master at all. It can be said that the things that La Shuxian took care of were all handled by her, and some trivial things that La Shuxian didn't care about were all taken care of by her.Naturally, she knew everything about everyone in Rongguo Mansion, including those in Zhuangzi's shop.
The one who kicked her out of the delivery room just now was a certain daughter-in-law named Old Zhao Tou in Dongzhuang area, and she didn't really see the little girl, but from the tone of Old Zhao Tou's family, she reckoned that it should be her girl.
"Mother Lai, it was Aunt Zhao who specially entrusted someone to serve her, and called Mother Zhao." The servant girl who was used as a crutch by Lai Mother struggled to stabilize her figure, while trying to change into a stable and comfortable one. She still didn't forget to explain, "As for the little maid, she was originally called Little Sister, but Aunt Zhao gave her the name Jinyu."
"A little girl named Jinyu?" Lai Momo stared, then suddenly came to her senses, "I remembered, Aunt Zhao is the eldest daughter of the old Zhaotou's family. She entrusted me to raise her for a long time before she finally realized it." It was dialed to Rongqing Hall. Hmph, I haven't seen you for a long time, but she is very capable. Let's go, help me to the old lady's place, I don't care about this matter!"
Nanny Lai left Lixiangyuan angrily. To be honest, under the angry appearance, she was really thankful.In the case of Aunt Zhao just now, being able to keep the child is already a big deal, and the most fearful thing is that the child will not be kept.Taking a step back, so what if you keep both of them?Nanny Lai's family has served Jia's family for generations. Over the past few decades, they have made a lot of hard work, and they don't want to covet such a thing at all.Besides, is this a good thing?If there is an accident, she will definitely not be able to please.Even if Aunt Zhao gave birth to the child smoothly, wouldn't she still complain when Mrs. Wang came back later?She simply got away as soon as possible, and she would like to thank Mrs. Zhao!
That's what I said, but when Nanny Lai was helped to the Rongqing Hall, she burst into tears and snot, desperately crying about the injustice she encountered in Lixiangyuan.In her words, she became the meritorious old slave who tried her best to keep the Jia family's blood, but Aunt Zhao didn't know what was going on, so she let the old lady Zhao and the little sister of the Zhao family beat her out.
"...Old lady, my heart is suffering!" Nanny Lai supported the old woman's waist, crying until her heart broke.
Mother Jia pinched the rosary wrapped around her wrist with a sullen face, she didn't say anything for a while, and finally she only nodded to Nanny Lai, signaling her to step back and rest first, without saying anything else.
Seeing Mother Jia acting like this, Mammy Lai felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but in the end she still didn't dare to do anything more, and she obediently withdrew.However, when I retreated to the outside hallway, I took out a smooth thick silver bracelet from my cuff, and stuffed it into the hands of the agate who was standing in the corridor: "Good girl, this is what Tourmaline asked me to bring to you. The previous wedding wine also I failed to invite you to eat, so I will give you red eggs later."
"Red egg? Sister Tourmaline gave birth?" Manao was still a little hesitant to accept the silver bracelet, and then cried out in surprise after hearing Mammy Lai's words.But immediately, she hurriedly covered her mouth and signaled Nanny Lai to follow her.
To say that Nanny Lai's status in Rongguo Mansion must be much higher than that of Manao, but the people around here have their own conveniences, Nanny Lai has always been a good person, and she will never be inferior to Mother Jia The prodigal son in front of the big maid.
When she followed Ma Nao into her and Fei Cui's room, Nanny Lai smiled and said: "Your sister Bi Xi was found pregnant in the first month, and it's still a long time before she died. It's also a girl, you are in the old lady Serving in front of me, I really don't have time to come out, otherwise I will take you to see her, she will be happy."
Tourmaline, like Manao and others, was once the maidservant of Jia Mu.However, it is the same and somewhat different.Tourmaline, in terms of appearance, can only be regarded as average among the eight servant girls, and in terms of body, sweet mouth and ability, none of them are particularly outstanding.But if it is true, she is not bad, but she is at the bottom of everyone.
That is, timid.
How timid is this tourmaline?It was the kind of leaf that fell, and she was worried that it would hit her forehead.Last year, Mother Jia gave her to Jia Zheng as a concierge, but how dare she?It's too late to hide, let alone talk about climbing up.No, first of all he injured himself, and he chose to injure himself on his forehead, not to mention a small scar, and after the injury healed, he pretended to be stupid.That is to say, Jia Zheng has always been reluctant to force others, and Mrs. Wang is even more happy to do so.Tourmaline simply pulled out all kinds of excuses to avoid day after day, month after month, and it really gave her an opportunity. When Mrs. Wang's natal family came to visit last year, the sloppy begging for mercy flashed away. up.Running alone is not considered a skill, but she left on the front foot, and picked up Nanny Lai on the back foot.Coincidentally, neither of Nanny Lai's sons has married a wife, so Tourmaline belongs to everyone Lai.
It's what she deserves, Manao put herself in her shoes and thought for a while, if she was lucky enough to become Jia Zheng's housekeeper, she wouldn't do this.This was rewarded by Jia's mother to open his face. Why are you afraid of being like that?However, even after seeing Tourmaline's recent situation, Manao still hopes for another life, like Aunt Zhao.
"Nurse Lao Lai and Sister Bixi are worried about it. If Mommy and Elder Sister need me to help with anything, I will definitely do it for you without saying a word." Manao calmed down and said with a smile on her face.
"That's work."
The two huddled together in the room and talked for a while, and when Nanny Lai was about to leave, Agate helped her out.When she came back, she happened to bump into Fei Cui, who whispered to her with a surprised face: "Why did you mess with her? By the way, the old lady just said someone, let's find out who took Aunt Zhao's mother , The girl was put in the mansion."
Another interpretation of "speaking of people" is to swear at people. This Jia Mu is the daughter of the Hou family and the wife of the Duke. Even if she wanted to swear, she couldn't say it directly.Manao naturally understood, and first signaled to do things according to Jiamu's instructions. After lighting the lamp, Jiamu had dinner, washed a little and rested, and then Manao showed the silver bracelet Lai Nanny gave her. .
Jadeite was very surprised. As the big maid in front of Jia Mu, not to mention silver bracelets, gold heads are not uncommon.This former pearl is now Aunt Zhao, who has received innumerable rewards from Mother Jia.Even if they are like them, they can get rewards from Jia Mu every year and festival, more or less, good or bad, they have accumulated together over the years, they are not old or young.Therefore, Jade became more and more surprised, and couldn't figure out why only a silver bracelet deserved so much attention from Onyx.
"I don't care about silver bracelets, but Madam Lai told me about the tourmaline today. Didn't I pay attention to you?" Manao raised her eyebrows with a mocking look on her face.
"What did you say...uh, you bad girl!!"
As sisters who live in the same house, although they are not related by blood, they were sold into the Rongguo Mansion together, and they ate and lived together for many years, so their relationship is very good.Besides, Manao knew what Jade was thinking early on, so there was no need to compete.
"How did I become a bad girl? Didn't you say that I hope that one day in the future, so that the old lady can promise you a good family? I also said that it should be the steward of the house, or the shopkeeper of the shop." , otherwise the Zhuangtou on the Zhuangzi is also very good. The two sons of Nanny Lai's family, Lai Da married Tourmaline, wouldn't it be good for you to ration Lai Er? It just so happened that you were on good terms with Tourmaline before, and you will be a sister-in-law in the future There is no contradiction at all. Lai Mama is a little shrewd, but she is very good to her children. Tell me..."
"Damn girl! See if I don't tear your mouth!"
"Good sister is blushing! Oh, I was wrong, good sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
<<
The turmoil in Rongguo Mansion finally reached the ears of Nala Shuxian, who was temporarily staying in Zhang's house, on the third day. It was not that Jia's mother deliberately concealed it, but that a housemaid gave birth to a child, which was not a big deal at all.Besides, the dowry and companion house that La Shuxian brought from Zhang's family lost a lot of manpower due to Brother Hu's early death a few years ago. Although there were still a few left, she was took them all away.Because of this, no one thought of reporting to the Zhang family when something happened at the Rongguo Mansion.
Until Zhang Ting's family thought about it.
"Master, Aunt Zhao, the second bedroom in the Rongguo Mansion, activated it three days ago. After two full days, she finally gave birth to the baby. She is a big fat girl." Aunt Rong got a reply from the little maid and met Zhang Ting's family, but But he didn't lead the person to Nala Shuxian directly, but first made a generalization, and then asked, "Master, do you want to see him?"
"Mammy's daughter-in-law?" Nala Shuxian conveniently fed a piece of snack into Twelve's mouth beside her, and said after thinking for a while, "It was activated three days ago, and it took two days to give birth, so what's the matter?" Did you come here to deliver the letter until now? Also, what is a fat girl?"
Most people would call you a fat boy and a pretty girl, but this was the first time La Shuxian had heard the term fat girl.
Nanny Rong curled her lips and replied: "Zhang Ting's family said that the girl weighed nine and a half catties at birth, isn't she a big fat girl?"
"Pfft!" Twelve was eating snacks with relish, but he spit out when he heard this, "How do I remember that the nanny once said that when I was born, I only weighed four catties?"
"That's because you gave birth prematurely." Nala Shuxian wiped Twelve's mouth with a handkerchief, and took a look at the sky outside, "It's getting late, let's call someone to prepare dinner. By the way, mother You let your daughter-in-law come in and answer, she is not an outsider."
Not long after, Zhang Ting's family trotted into the house excitedly, knelt down and kowtowed when they met, and said, "I have met the eldest lady, and I greet my wife. I have wanted to kowtow to my wife for a long time, but today I can be regarded as Found an opportunity!"
Nala Shuxian couldn't hold back, and said with a light smile: "Since that's the case, I'll come and see more later."
"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am, turn around..." Zhang Ting's family was halfway through, when she felt an extremely cold look on her face, she was shocked, and subconsciously raised her head to look up, just in time to bump into Rong Rong's sinister eyes Gouging her out, "Uh, we are sold slaves, how can we be blessed to see my wife every day. That... my mother-in-law will go out after I finish talking."
"Let's make a long story short!" Rong Momo gritted her back teeth and said.
Now, Zhang Ting's family didn't dare to ink any more, they just nodded hastily and explained the matter in the most concise language.In fact, it's not difficult to talk about it, it's just that when Rongguo Mansion was in chaos, it happened that Aunt Zhao gave birth at this stall.Although it is not up to the mother herself to give birth to a child, it is inevitable that she will not be in a hurry.Not to mention, because of this incident, Aunt Zhao also offended Lai Nanny, the wife of housekeeper Lai in the mansion. dissatisfied.
"The old lady is dissatisfied? Is it because Aunt Zhao gave birth to a daughter?" As soon as La Shuxian finished speaking, she rejected herself, "It shouldn't be, the old lady has no shortage of grandchildren, and besides, I I remember that when the second wife gave birth to Sister Yuan's child, the old lady was also very happy. Not to mention, Sister Yuan is now being raised in Rongqingtang, and I only see the old lady loving Sister Yuan as if she were an eyeball."
"It sounds like it's not because she's a girl, but because Aunt Zhao secretly resorted to tricks to get her mother and sister to serve in the mansion without the permission of others. That's not counting. I heard that she has been in the mansion for several It’s been a month, and I haven’t passed the clear road. If it wasn’t for something wrong during the delivery, maybe it’s still hidden until now.”
Zhang Tingjia raised his head and glanced at Nanny Rong, then lowered his head even faster.
"Speak up if you have something to say, don't chatter about it." Mother Rong said with a cold face.
Since August last year, the doctor said that Aunt Zhao was less than two months pregnant, but now it is mid-March, counting the days, she has been pregnant for almost nine months.Although there is an old saying that you can conceive in ten months, in fact, very few people will be pregnant for ten months. Basically, it is normal to give birth after nine months, unless it is like when Nala Shuxian gave birth to twelve months. Seven or eight months, that's very unusual.
"Zhao...you mean that the pearl is about to be born?" Mother Jia stared blankly at the maidservant who came to report the news. Seeing her nodding her head desperately, Mother Jia just sighed helplessly, "Why did you rush to this stall?"
That's what I said, but things like having a baby are beyond the control of a pregnant woman.Of course, it is still possible to use drugs to induce birth on a particularly auspicious day, but obviously, it is impossible for Aunt Zhao to do so, and there is absolutely no need to do so.
"May Wen please invite me? Are all the things ready for production?" Mother Jia has actually got up at this moment and plans to leave Rongqing Hall, but no matter how low Aunt Zhao's status is, the child in her stomach is The real heirs of the Jia family, even though Jia's mother already had several grandchildren, would not mind having one more.
"This, this... Going back to the old lady, she said that she didn't prepare anything."
"What?" Jia Mu originally thought that if everything was safe, it would be fine for her to go to Bowling Hou's Mansion. After all, whether it was La Shuxian or Mrs. Wang, it was not really useful during childbirth. fuck her.But she obviously overlooked one thing, Aunt Zhao is completely different from those two.
"Old lady, Aunt Zhou is outside, do you want to call her back?"
"Don't let her come in right away!" Mother Jia shouted angrily.
Not long after, Aunt Zhou, who is known for her honesty and dullness on weekdays, walked in.In fact, Aunt Zhou is no stranger to this Rongqingtang. In fact, both she and Aunt Zhao, who has already begun to mobilize, used to be very embarrassing maids in front of Mother Jia.This matter is easy to understand, if you don't win Jia Mu's favor first, how can you get close to Jia Zheng's body and serve him personally?Aunt Zhou was once sent to Jia Zheng’s house by Jia’s mother. At first, she was the most respectable maid. It has been ten years.
When she came to Rongqing Hall again, Aunt Zhou respectfully greeted Mother Jia, she hadn't been here for quite some time, and the last time she came, she followed Mrs. Wang to greet Mother Jia.However, it has been more than half a month since Mrs. Wang returned to her natal home, and Mrs. Wang did not bring Aunt Zhou with her every time she came to pay her respects, so she hadn't seen Mother Jia for about a month or so.
"Old lady, when Aunt Zhao woke up this morning, she had some unusual fetal movements. She called me over to talk. Although I have never conceived a child, I saw my wife give birth twice. I wonder if it's time. Mrs. Pian is not in the mansion now, neither is the eldest wife, so I had to ask someone to boil hot water and call two experienced women to help. Unexpectedly, two hours passed, Aunt Zhao's face turned pale from the pain, but the child didn't move at all."
"Then you just came back to talk now?" Jia Mu was so angry that she was helpless, and when she saw that the once pretty maid with picturesque features was now a solemn and serious little woman, she immediately sighed softly. , "Forget it, I won't go to the Bowling Marquis's mansion today. Hurry up and get someone to invite Mrs. Wen, hurry up!"
After a pause, Mother Jia hesitated and said, "Where is Madam Lai? Ask her to help prepare all the things needed for delivery, and send them over quickly, go quickly! Sigh..."
With Jia's mother's words, the subordinates quickly started to do things. Some went to the front yard to inform housekeeper Lai to find a steady wife, some went to find Nanny Lai, and some were friends with Aunt Zhao. , hurriedly ran to Lixiangyuan, thinking that maybe he could help.Fortunately, Aunt Zhao started it in the morning, although two hours had passed, she hadn't actually given birth yet, and when Steward Lai hurriedly found Mrs. Wen, everything was still in time.As for the many things to be used in production, although it is a bit cumbersome, fortunately, Rongguo Mansion is very experienced, and last time when Nala Shuxian was born at twelve o'clock, he prepared several things, and they never ran out of them. After a while, it was dug out and rushed to Lixiangyuan.
In Pear Fragrance Courtyard, before entering the courtyard gate, one could hear the heart-piercing screams inside.Aunt Zhao is young and has a strong body, so the same cry is extremely loud, with a more tragic vigor.
Jade and Agate looked at each other.
They had already reached the entrance of Lixiangyuan, and there was no one who would back down at this point. After looking at each other, the two gritted their teeth and mustered up the courage to go in.At this stall, the yard has already been busy. Apart from the original maids, Mammy Lai also brought a few veterans to come. Although busy, it seems that they are still busy and orderly.
"Why did you two come here? By the way, you and Aunt Zhao grew up together." Nanny Lai was a little suspicious at first, but then she said calmly, "However, the delivery room is not where you guys are. This little girl should come, if you really want to help me, watch these little maids for me, if I want to send a message to Rongqingtang later, I will tell you."
"Okay, Nanny Lai." Fei Cui forced herself to be calm with a pale face.The agate beside him also nodded heavily, and the two quickly went to the tea room, seeing that there seemed to be not enough hot water, they lowered their heads to discuss, and then went to find Madam Lai, only to go to the big kitchen to requisition a big iron pot Come to boil hot water.
The two came in a hurry, then left in a hurry, Fei Cui looked back with an extremely ugly expression, and was dragged away by Agate.After walking all the way to the big kitchen at the front and completely away from the Rika-in in the west courtyard, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.After he regained his composure, he hurriedly looked for the nanny in charge of the big kitchen, and asked her to stop the work at hand and boil a few pots of hot water for preparation.
Because these two are the big maids in Jia's mother's room, the steward of the big kitchen never made it difficult for them.Of course, it is impossible to completely stop the work at hand, so I only ordered to keep the stove and pot specially for Jia Mu's cooking and for everyone in the front yard and study, and all the other people stopped.
Seeing that the people in the kitchen were busy, and there was a lot of voices here, the faces of the people who came and went were also as usual, and the faces of the jade and agate slowly returned to normal.
"Manao, you said sister Pearl..."
"It should be Aunt Zhao." Manao hurriedly corrected, and couldn't help but glance to the side.
Fei Cui was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said obediently: "Yes, it's Aunt Zhao. I mean, is she okay? I, I remembered the past, when I was only six or seven years old Well, when my mother was giving birth to my younger sister, she just yelled like this, and suddenly she fell silent. Later, Granny Wen pulled my younger sister out, but her little face was purple and her lips were black and blue. Yes, I won't cry either. In the future, my father will send my mother and sister away..."
"Sister Fei Cui." Manao subconsciously held Fei Cui's hand. Of the eight maidservants in front of Jiamu, only a few were born daughters, and most of them were sold into the house.It's nothing more than having a daughter in this family, the whole family has been working in the Rongguo Mansion for generations, but if they sell their bodies to enter the mansion, everyone has their own sorrows.
"I'm fine. It's just that my father married another woman. She didn't like me, so she instigated my father to sell me. Fortunately, the man I was looking for at the time was a good tooth. Looking at me, I looked better than ordinary poor people. My daughter is much more upright, she didn't sell me at a low price, but sent me to the mansion after a few months of careful teaching. Now that I think about it, I still have to thank her."
"It's fine." Manao pursed her lips, turned around and urged a few words loudly, and then lowered her voice and said to Fei Cui, "You don't have to worry about Aunt Zhao, I heard that she made preparations earlier. That ...Her mother and sister are here."
"what?"
"Did you forget? Aunt Zhao is the daughter of the family. When she was just pregnant, she kept her head down and didn't dare to say anything. But later, I heard that she went to the central government to take care of her mother and sister. Come in. It's not a decent job, her mother seems to be taking the position of a rough envoy, and her sister is a third-class maid." After a pause, Manao said again, "Just relax Come on, she's smart!"
"That's good." Fei Cui nodded, and immediately seeing Manao's slightly disapproving look, she reached out and patted the back of her hand, and persuaded, "I know you think she didn't treat you well in the past, but why don't you want to?" Think, there were eight of us back then, how many are left now? The glass was knocked out by the old man, and it was said that it disappeared in last winter. The tourmaline is a bit clever, and it is said that it was with Lai Mammy’s son, but it’s true. Let her do it. Sister Pearl became Aunt Zhao, and Sister Hupo went to the big room. There are eight of us, so there are only the two of us, mandarin ducks, and parrots left."
The maid of Liushui has an iron name, and the maids in front of Jia Mu have gone and come again. Unfortunately, even if the name has not changed, she is no longer the same person she used to be.
The departure of Tourmaline and Glass before was not a big problem. Although they were also first-class maids, it was Pearl and Amber who really controlled the work around Jia Mu.But as Pearl and Amber also left Rongqing Hall one after another, it was naturally the turn of the remaining four.As for the replacement, they will be selected among the twenty or so second-class maids, but due to the many things happening recently, they have not been fully determined.
"Don't mention mandarin ducks and parrots. Aunt Zhao was domineering on the old lady before, but it's because she is older than us. Not to mention good-looking, she has a sweet mouth and is quick to do things. Although I am a little jealous Yes, but it is considered a blessing in the end. But what are mandarin ducks and parrots? How can we compare them?" Manao puffed her cheeks and said bitterly, "Just talking about this matter today, why don't they come? Why don't they come? We two, if you want to talk about love, they are both daughters of the family, didn't we get better with Aunt Zhao in the past?"
"Amber didn't come, can you count on them?" Fei Cui pulled the agate suddenly, but the two big iron pots in the big kitchen were boiling. In the tea room in the house, it may take another half an hour to boil the water, and the amount of boiling once is not that much.
Because the water was boiling, the nanny in charge of the big kitchen hurriedly called several women with big arms and round waists to pour the water into the urn prepared earlier in the morning, and because it was heavy and hot, it took two people to lift one. urn.Just like that, led by Jade and Agate to Rikain.
It took another half an hour to go back and forth.
However, even though half an hour passed in a short while, the Lixiangyuan was just as it was when they left.The maidservants in the yard were still busy, and Aunt Zhao's cries in the delivery room still existed, but after listening carefully, she could vaguely distinguish that Aunt Zhao's voice was not as full of air as before.
Fei Cui looked towards the direction of the delivery room with a worried expression on her face, and when she turned her head, she happened to meet Agate who was also worried, and she immediately felt relieved.It seems that no matter how mean what Ma Nao said, she is still worried about Aunt Zhao.To put it bluntly, although there is competition among the few of them, there is no enmity. After all, they are sisters who grew up together...
"You guys go to Rongqing Hall and tell the old lady that Aunt Zhao's head is fine. Just now, Mrs. Wen said that the child has faintly seen the head. She is young and healthy, so she will be fine." Lai Mammy came over suddenly and said.
"Well, okay." When Fei Cui heard this, she immediately smiled, pushed the agate lightly, pulled her and ran back together, "Hurry up and tell the old lady, so that the old lady doesn't always carry an agate." Heart."
In Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia got the news, and she relaxed a little, thinking that Aunt Zhao should be able to give birth to the child before this evening. I went to visit Bowlinghou Mansion.
The idea is very beautiful, but the reality is always somewhat different from the idea.Sometimes the difference is very small, but more often it looks like there is no difference on the surface, but in fact the difference is huge.
Aunt Zhao had a difficult delivery.
No one expected that Aunt Zhao, who seemed to be in good health, suddenly had a dystocia when she faintly saw the child's head.Don't say that Mother Jia, who has been staying in the Rongqing Hall, is stunned, even Lai, who has been staying in Lixiangyuan, is full of disbelief.After ordering someone to inform Mother Jia of the situation, Nanny Lai simply entered the delivery room herself. She had already given birth to two sons and two daughters, so even if the delivery room was a little unlucky, it would not have much impact.
Nanny Lai thought about it, probably because Aunt Zhao was too young and didn't know where to put her strength, which made it a bit more difficult, but when she really entered the delivery room, she realized that what she had guessed was so good.
With sweat all over her head and face, Mrs. Wen told Nanny Lai clearly that the reason why Aunt Zhao had a difficult delivery had nothing to do with her body, but because the child was too big.
During the delivery process, there are three situations that Wen Po fears most.
First, the mother's bones are not good, and she has no energy to give birth at all.
Second, the fetal position is not correct, the child's hands or feet come out first, not the normal head.
Third, the child is too big.
Now this situation is the third one.To be honest, no matter which one of these three situations is, it is extremely difficult to solve.If the parturient has no strength, pouring the decoction might force the parturient to exert herself.If the fetal position is not correct, rub the mother's belly desperately to see if she can turn the baby upside down by chance.The last one is the most likely situation where the child is suffocated inside, or the child is forced to come out, but the mother bleeds to death.If it is more serious, it may not be impossible to kill two people.
After learning that the child might be too big, Nanny Lai turned pale all of a sudden.
In today's Rongguo Mansion, the head wife, Nala Shuxian, is not at the mansion, and the second wife, Mrs. Wang, who was supposed to be here, has also returned to her natal home, and both of them brought their most valued nanny with them before they left. Mother and maid, so that when Aunt Zhao gave birth, she had to be guarded by Lai.The problem is, just because the two wives are not at the house, once Aunt Zhao has any accident, the consequences will have to be borne by Lai Momo.
It's not up to her to bear the burden. Could it be that Jia's mother is still expected to take the blame?
Nanny Lai is going crazy, you must know that not only the two wives are not in the house, but also the two masters are also not here!When Jia Zheng came back from Yangzhou, if he found that his concubine and child were gone, wouldn't he tear her alive?For the present plan, the most important thing is to keep the child first!
"Have you prepared any decoction? You must keep the child, you must keep the child!" Nanny Lai ordered in repeated voices.
I don't want to, as soon as Nanny Lai finished speaking, she was hit hard by someone. Because she had no defense before, Nanny Lai just staggered and fell heavily on her back to the ground. get up.
"Oh, my little ancestor! Why are you bumping into her? Nanny Lai, Nanny Lai, are you okay? Come on, help Nanny Lai out to rest, hurry up!" A man in his early thirties looked The beautiful woman forcibly pulled Nanny Lai up from the ground, and the pain was so great that Nanny Lai couldn't help crying out in pain. Even so, the woman didn't hesitate at all, and pulled her out of the delivery room abruptly. He dragged it out.
Until she left the delivery room, Nanny Lai still couldn't recover.After a long time, she vaguely remembered that the person who bumped into her just now should be a small figure who was not too tall, and after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be a seven or eight-year-old girl.
Of course it's a girl, if there is a child in the delivery room, it will be called a ghost!
"Damn Mrs. Zhao! You wait for me!" Lai Momo finally regained her breath, supported her waist with one hand, and grabbed the passing maid with the other, and stood upright at the door of the delivery room with great reluctance, "Yes Who let Mrs. Zhao come in? And that little girl, Mrs. Zhao's little girl?"
Unlike Nama Rong who has been serving in front of Nala Shuxian, although Nanny Lai is also a nanny in charge, she does not serve the master at all. It can be said that the things that La Shuxian took care of were all handled by her, and some trivial things that La Shuxian didn't care about were all taken care of by her.Naturally, she knew everything about everyone in Rongguo Mansion, including those in Zhuangzi's shop.
The one who kicked her out of the delivery room just now was a certain daughter-in-law named Old Zhao Tou in Dongzhuang area, and she didn't really see the little girl, but from the tone of Old Zhao Tou's family, she reckoned that it should be her girl.
"Mother Lai, it was Aunt Zhao who specially entrusted someone to serve her, and called Mother Zhao." The servant girl who was used as a crutch by Lai Mother struggled to stabilize her figure, while trying to change into a stable and comfortable one. She still didn't forget to explain, "As for the little maid, she was originally called Little Sister, but Aunt Zhao gave her the name Jinyu."
"A little girl named Jinyu?" Lai Momo stared, then suddenly came to her senses, "I remembered, Aunt Zhao is the eldest daughter of the old Zhaotou's family. She entrusted me to raise her for a long time before she finally realized it." It was dialed to Rongqing Hall. Hmph, I haven't seen you for a long time, but she is very capable. Let's go, help me to the old lady's place, I don't care about this matter!"
Nanny Lai left Lixiangyuan angrily. To be honest, under the angry appearance, she was really thankful.In the case of Aunt Zhao just now, being able to keep the child is already a big deal, and the most fearful thing is that the child will not be kept.Taking a step back, so what if you keep both of them?Nanny Lai's family has served Jia's family for generations. Over the past few decades, they have made a lot of hard work, and they don't want to covet such a thing at all.Besides, is this a good thing?If there is an accident, she will definitely not be able to please.Even if Aunt Zhao gave birth to the child smoothly, wouldn't she still complain when Mrs. Wang came back later?She simply got away as soon as possible, and she would like to thank Mrs. Zhao!
That's what I said, but when Nanny Lai was helped to the Rongqing Hall, she burst into tears and snot, desperately crying about the injustice she encountered in Lixiangyuan.In her words, she became the meritorious old slave who tried her best to keep the Jia family's blood, but Aunt Zhao didn't know what was going on, so she let the old lady Zhao and the little sister of the Zhao family beat her out.
"...Old lady, my heart is suffering!" Nanny Lai supported the old woman's waist, crying until her heart broke.
Mother Jia pinched the rosary wrapped around her wrist with a sullen face, she didn't say anything for a while, and finally she only nodded to Nanny Lai, signaling her to step back and rest first, without saying anything else.
Seeing Mother Jia acting like this, Mammy Lai felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but in the end she still didn't dare to do anything more, and she obediently withdrew.However, when I retreated to the outside hallway, I took out a smooth thick silver bracelet from my cuff, and stuffed it into the hands of the agate who was standing in the corridor: "Good girl, this is what Tourmaline asked me to bring to you. The previous wedding wine also I failed to invite you to eat, so I will give you red eggs later."
"Red egg? Sister Tourmaline gave birth?" Manao was still a little hesitant to accept the silver bracelet, and then cried out in surprise after hearing Mammy Lai's words.But immediately, she hurriedly covered her mouth and signaled Nanny Lai to follow her.
To say that Nanny Lai's status in Rongguo Mansion must be much higher than that of Manao, but the people around here have their own conveniences, Nanny Lai has always been a good person, and she will never be inferior to Mother Jia The prodigal son in front of the big maid.
When she followed Ma Nao into her and Fei Cui's room, Nanny Lai smiled and said: "Your sister Bi Xi was found pregnant in the first month, and it's still a long time before she died. It's also a girl, you are in the old lady Serving in front of me, I really don't have time to come out, otherwise I will take you to see her, she will be happy."
Tourmaline, like Manao and others, was once the maidservant of Jia Mu.However, it is the same and somewhat different.Tourmaline, in terms of appearance, can only be regarded as average among the eight servant girls, and in terms of body, sweet mouth and ability, none of them are particularly outstanding.But if it is true, she is not bad, but she is at the bottom of everyone.
That is, timid.
How timid is this tourmaline?It was the kind of leaf that fell, and she was worried that it would hit her forehead.Last year, Mother Jia gave her to Jia Zheng as a concierge, but how dare she?It's too late to hide, let alone talk about climbing up.No, first of all he injured himself, and he chose to injure himself on his forehead, not to mention a small scar, and after the injury healed, he pretended to be stupid.That is to say, Jia Zheng has always been reluctant to force others, and Mrs. Wang is even more happy to do so.Tourmaline simply pulled out all kinds of excuses to avoid day after day, month after month, and it really gave her an opportunity. When Mrs. Wang's natal family came to visit last year, the sloppy begging for mercy flashed away. up.Running alone is not considered a skill, but she left on the front foot, and picked up Nanny Lai on the back foot.Coincidentally, neither of Nanny Lai's sons has married a wife, so Tourmaline belongs to everyone Lai.
It's what she deserves, Manao put herself in her shoes and thought for a while, if she was lucky enough to become Jia Zheng's housekeeper, she wouldn't do this.This was rewarded by Jia's mother to open his face. Why are you afraid of being like that?However, even after seeing Tourmaline's recent situation, Manao still hopes for another life, like Aunt Zhao.
"Nurse Lao Lai and Sister Bixi are worried about it. If Mommy and Elder Sister need me to help with anything, I will definitely do it for you without saying a word." Manao calmed down and said with a smile on her face.
"That's work."
The two huddled together in the room and talked for a while, and when Nanny Lai was about to leave, Agate helped her out.When she came back, she happened to bump into Fei Cui, who whispered to her with a surprised face: "Why did you mess with her? By the way, the old lady just said someone, let's find out who took Aunt Zhao's mother , The girl was put in the mansion."
Another interpretation of "speaking of people" is to swear at people. This Jia Mu is the daughter of the Hou family and the wife of the Duke. Even if she wanted to swear, she couldn't say it directly.Manao naturally understood, and first signaled to do things according to Jiamu's instructions. After lighting the lamp, Jiamu had dinner, washed a little and rested, and then Manao showed the silver bracelet Lai Nanny gave her. .
Jadeite was very surprised. As the big maid in front of Jia Mu, not to mention silver bracelets, gold heads are not uncommon.This former pearl is now Aunt Zhao, who has received innumerable rewards from Mother Jia.Even if they are like them, they can get rewards from Jia Mu every year and festival, more or less, good or bad, they have accumulated together over the years, they are not old or young.Therefore, Jade became more and more surprised, and couldn't figure out why only a silver bracelet deserved so much attention from Onyx.
"I don't care about silver bracelets, but Madam Lai told me about the tourmaline today. Didn't I pay attention to you?" Manao raised her eyebrows with a mocking look on her face.
"What did you say...uh, you bad girl!!"
As sisters who live in the same house, although they are not related by blood, they were sold into the Rongguo Mansion together, and they ate and lived together for many years, so their relationship is very good.Besides, Manao knew what Jade was thinking early on, so there was no need to compete.
"How did I become a bad girl? Didn't you say that I hope that one day in the future, so that the old lady can promise you a good family? I also said that it should be the steward of the house, or the shopkeeper of the shop." , otherwise the Zhuangtou on the Zhuangzi is also very good. The two sons of Nanny Lai's family, Lai Da married Tourmaline, wouldn't it be good for you to ration Lai Er? It just so happened that you were on good terms with Tourmaline before, and you will be a sister-in-law in the future There is no contradiction at all. Lai Mama is a little shrewd, but she is very good to her children. Tell me..."
"Damn girl! See if I don't tear your mouth!"
"Good sister is blushing! Oh, I was wrong, good sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
<<
The turmoil in Rongguo Mansion finally reached the ears of Nala Shuxian, who was temporarily staying in Zhang's house, on the third day. It was not that Jia's mother deliberately concealed it, but that a housemaid gave birth to a child, which was not a big deal at all.Besides, the dowry and companion house that La Shuxian brought from Zhang's family lost a lot of manpower due to Brother Hu's early death a few years ago. Although there were still a few left, she was took them all away.Because of this, no one thought of reporting to the Zhang family when something happened at the Rongguo Mansion.
Until Zhang Ting's family thought about it.
"Master, Aunt Zhao, the second bedroom in the Rongguo Mansion, activated it three days ago. After two full days, she finally gave birth to the baby. She is a big fat girl." Aunt Rong got a reply from the little maid and met Zhang Ting's family, but But he didn't lead the person to Nala Shuxian directly, but first made a generalization, and then asked, "Master, do you want to see him?"
"Mammy's daughter-in-law?" Nala Shuxian conveniently fed a piece of snack into Twelve's mouth beside her, and said after thinking for a while, "It was activated three days ago, and it took two days to give birth, so what's the matter?" Did you come here to deliver the letter until now? Also, what is a fat girl?"
Most people would call you a fat boy and a pretty girl, but this was the first time La Shuxian had heard the term fat girl.
Nanny Rong curled her lips and replied: "Zhang Ting's family said that the girl weighed nine and a half catties at birth, isn't she a big fat girl?"
"Pfft!" Twelve was eating snacks with relish, but he spit out when he heard this, "How do I remember that the nanny once said that when I was born, I only weighed four catties?"
"That's because you gave birth prematurely." Nala Shuxian wiped Twelve's mouth with a handkerchief, and took a look at the sky outside, "It's getting late, let's call someone to prepare dinner. By the way, mother You let your daughter-in-law come in and answer, she is not an outsider."
Not long after, Zhang Ting's family trotted into the house excitedly, knelt down and kowtowed when they met, and said, "I have met the eldest lady, and I greet my wife. I have wanted to kowtow to my wife for a long time, but today I can be regarded as Found an opportunity!"
Nala Shuxian couldn't hold back, and said with a light smile: "Since that's the case, I'll come and see more later."
"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am, turn around..." Zhang Ting's family was halfway through, when she felt an extremely cold look on her face, she was shocked, and subconsciously raised her head to look up, just in time to bump into Rong Rong's sinister eyes Gouging her out, "Uh, we are sold slaves, how can we be blessed to see my wife every day. That... my mother-in-law will go out after I finish talking."
"Let's make a long story short!" Rong Momo gritted her back teeth and said.
Now, Zhang Ting's family didn't dare to ink any more, they just nodded hastily and explained the matter in the most concise language.In fact, it's not difficult to talk about it, it's just that when Rongguo Mansion was in chaos, it happened that Aunt Zhao gave birth at this stall.Although it is not up to the mother herself to give birth to a child, it is inevitable that she will not be in a hurry.Not to mention, because of this incident, Aunt Zhao also offended Lai Nanny, the wife of housekeeper Lai in the mansion. dissatisfied.
"The old lady is dissatisfied? Is it because Aunt Zhao gave birth to a daughter?" As soon as La Shuxian finished speaking, she rejected herself, "It shouldn't be, the old lady has no shortage of grandchildren, and besides, I I remember that when the second wife gave birth to Sister Yuan's child, the old lady was also very happy. Not to mention, Sister Yuan is now being raised in Rongqingtang, and I only see the old lady loving Sister Yuan as if she were an eyeball."
"It sounds like it's not because she's a girl, but because Aunt Zhao secretly resorted to tricks to get her mother and sister to serve in the mansion without the permission of others. That's not counting. I heard that she has been in the mansion for several It’s been a month, and I haven’t passed the clear road. If it wasn’t for something wrong during the delivery, maybe it’s still hidden until now.”
Zhang Tingjia raised his head and glanced at Nanny Rong, then lowered his head even faster.
"Speak up if you have something to say, don't chatter about it." Mother Rong said with a cold face.
