Kangxi 45 years

Siye Mansion on the ninth day of the first lunar month

In the Xibei courtyard, Shiyue helped the bloated Niu Hulu to pace slowly in the room, "Your place will be almost ready next month, and I will mention it to Fujin later, the nurses in the delivery room have to prepare for it." caught."

"Fu Jin told someone to tell you about it a few years ago," Niu Hulu pouted slightly, leaning on his waist with one hand, "I just don't know why there has been no movement in the past few days."

Shi Yao pursed her lips, and thought for a while, "I think it's because of the end of the year, Fujin is too busy. Don't worry, your stomach is a major issue in our family, and Fujin will not neglect it."

"I understand," Niu Hulu lowered his head and stroked his bulging belly, "but I'm still afraid, and Lord Belle is not in the mansion. People say that giving birth to a woman is like walking around the gate of hell. The bigger you are, the more uncertain you feel."

Shiyue curled her lips and helped Niu Hulu to sit on the couch, "You, you are thinking too much during pregnancy. How many times have we asked the doctor and the nurse who delivered the baby to see it. The fetal position is correct and the month is full. Your body is in good shape, so there will be no problems."

"My sister will coax me," Niu Hulu leaned back on the couch, his expression much more relaxed.

Shiyue quickly asked the maid to cover Niu Hulu with a blanket, and then sent someone to the tea room to see if today's anti-fetal medicine was ready.

Several people were busy, Xu'er trotted into the inner hall, "Greetings to the two young masters."

"Didn't I tell you to go to the kitchen to order lunch? Why did you run back?" Shiyue looked at Xu'er who was panting and said slowly.

"Back to my lord," Xu'er looked at Niu Hulu and said in a soft voice, "I met Lord Belle in the front yard."

"Master Baylor is back?" Niu Hulu's face showed joy.

Xu'er nodded, hesitated to speak, Shiyue frowned slightly, and asked softly, "But what happened in the mansion?"

"My servant, I don't know very well," Xu'er swallowed, "it's just that Lord Baylor looked very bad, so he went directly to Fujin's place when he came back. When this servant was in the kitchen, he heard Eunuch Zhang call Dr. Ding away. The kitchen The master also asked the maidservants if Fujin was sick again. Who would have thought that after a while, the maids and nuns in Fujin's courtyard were escorted to the row room, and each of them beat twenty boards."

"Did you hit the board?" Niu Hulu frowned and looked at Shiyue.

Shiyue thought for a moment, then patted Niu Hulu's hand and said, "Let's not get involved in matters in the Fujin courtyard. Don't think about it too much, it's a big month, and it's important to have a safe pregnancy."

Niu Hulu pursed her lips, stroked her stomach and nodded.

Fujin Courtyard

Fujin leaned against the head of the bed, expressionless.Shi Yao stood aside with her head down, beads of sweat all over her forehead.

Ding Qi diagnosed Fujin's happy pulse, but all the people in Fujin's courtyard suffered from it.Except for the few maids that Fujin served closely, the other servants in the courtyard were all beaten.

Right now, the angry Lord Belle was sitting at the round table, but Fujin, who was supposed to be happy, was like a puppet with a broken string, completely turning a blind eye to the furious fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother drank a bowl of tea slowly, looked at Fujin with indifference, "You are a woman from an aristocratic family, it is a sin to deliberately murder the royal blood, I don't think you need to remind me. After Hong Hui left, you I don’t blame you for not serving my mother-in-law or taking care of the inner house, but how can you—”

The air in the bedroom was suffocated, and the color of the fourth elder brother's tightly pursed lips was gone, but Fujin still didn't respond, and just sat there motionless.

The fourth elder brother turned his head away, and stopped looking at Fujin, his voice became extremely cold, "I will arrange the best nurses and doctors to come and give birth to you. Remember, if anything happens to this child, I will let you go." Your entire Ulanara family will be buried with you!"

Fujin froze, Si elder brother got up and walked out of the bedroom without looking back.

Shi Yao quickly squatted down and held Fujin's hand, "Master—"

Fujin slightly closed his eyes, one hand tightly clutched his lower abdomen, two lines of tears slid down the corners of his eyes.

"Master, don't be sad," Shi Yao pursed her lips, "Master Belle is also worried about the child, and what he said was just angry words. As long as you have a good pregnancy, you can add another son to our family. Who can surpass you by half a point? Even Lord Baylor, don't you have to worry about you all the time?"

Fu Jin glanced at Shi Yao, shook his head with a wry smile, leaned against the bed rail and stopped talking.

West Hospital

Nian's hand on the rice paper froze, and a picture of koi playing with lotus was instantly destroyed.

Cai Xi stuck out her tongue, and took two steps back, it wasn't that she was quick to talk, it was just that the news of Fujin's pregnancy could not be delayed.

"My lord," Ling Xi saw that Nian's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he didn't move for a long time, so he stepped forward worriedly, "Should we go and have a look now?"

Nian let out a sigh of relief and shook his head, "The front yard hasn't officially notified anyone, not to mention that Fujin's pregnancy is a happy event, but Lord Baylor beat up the slaves in Fujin's courtyard with great fanfare. I'm afraid it was wrong in the past, so let's wait for someone to notify us."

"Then," Ling Xi hesitated, "Should I keep Niu Hulu Gege a secret?"

"I can't hide it," Nian took down the badly painted picture of the koi, and went to the side to clean his hands, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Years ago, Lord Belle always went to Fujin, and Niu Hulu's It's not that I don't know. If the fetal gas is moved because of this, her child will suffer when she is born."

"What the lord said," Ling Xi lowered her head, "if Fujin really gave birth to a son, it would be considered a fulfillment of Lord Baylor's wish. From now on, Lord Baylor will not only go to Fujin."

Nian glanced at Ling Xi, turned around and sat down on the couch, "But is someone gossiping outside?"

Ling Xi was taken aback for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Some slaves are talking about it, but they haven't talked about the child yet. After all, the young master has only entered the mansion for a short time, and there are Wu Gege and Geng Gege."

"I didn't talk about heirs, so I talked about favors?" Nian sighed lightly, "I'm not the only one who fell out of favor if Master Baylor didn't come to Xibeiyuan. Anyone who dares to pour dirty water on me knows it who is it."

"Young master doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as her," Ling Xi said in a soft voice, "Li Fangfu Jin is so old, what kind of trouble can there be, she is just jealous of the young master helping Fujin manage the affairs of the rear house."

Nian snorted coldly, lowered his head and touched his lower abdomen, "I don't care about her, but she shouldn't go too far."

"Come to Fujin," the nanny at the door stepped into the inner hall and said, "Master Belle sent someone to inform that Fujin is more than one month pregnant, and today I will enjoy vegetables in every room. But Fujin is not in good health and needs a Let's raise the baby quietly, and the young masters in the backyard will visit after a while. As for the trivial matters in the mansion, the two side Fujin will temporarily arrange them."

"I see." Nian's lips curled slightly, "Fujin's pregnancy is a great joy, you go and tell the kitchen, the servants in the mansion will also add two dishes today."

"Slaves and servants thank the master for the reward," the mother kowtowed.

Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and told Ling Xi, "There are a few pieces of good jade in the storeroom, you go and pick out auspicious ones and send them to Fujin, and say that we will visit Fujin when he recovers."

"Yes," Ling Xi and Cai Xi took the orders, and Nian sat alone on the couch, and sighed faintly after a long while.

Into the night

Shiyue sent Niu Hulu to lie on the bed, still a little uneasy.

Niu Hulu smiled at Shiyue, waved his hands lightly and said, "Sister, go back and rest, my sister is too wide now, so I can't share a bed with my sister."

"You, I'm not worried." Shiyue tucked the quilt for Niu Hulu, and got up after seeing that Niu Hulu was fine, "Forget it, you're good to rest, don't let your wild thoughts go, I'll see you again tomorrow."

"Don't worry, sister." Niu Hulu narrowed his eyes, "I'm fine, I can fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes."

Shiyue curled her lips and nodded, "Then I'll go back, Mu Lan, so I can take care of your master."

"Yes," Mu Lan leaned over slightly, and sent Shi Yue to the door. When she walked back to the bed, she saw her master's gentle expression, staring straight at the head of the bed.

"My lord," Mulan squatted beside the bed, and said softly, "You have to relax, Fujin has only been there for more than a month, and you don't know what's going on."

Niu Hulu breathed a sigh of relief, her face turned pale, "I'm fine, I'm just not reconciled... Lord Belle wants a son, I knew it early on."

"This concubine is not that important," Mu Lan pursed her lips, "We have few children in our family, as long as we are liked by Lord Belle, our future prospects will not be bad."

"You're right," Niu Hulu stretched out his hand to touch his belly again, "Now I just hope that I can give birth to a boy smoothly..."

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Jisheng Hall

"Brother Su wants to move into the city?" Wang Xiangqing's eyes lit up, "That's really great. If you live in the city in the future, it will be convenient for us to travel."

Su Wei had a laugh, scratched the back of his head and said, "I set up a small yard, not far from our shop, Brother Wang, come here for a stroll if you have nothing to do—"

When Su Wei's voice fell, Xiao Yingzi pinched him from behind, and the master repeatedly ordered him not to take others there, so he didn't take it seriously when he turned around.

Su Wei's face froze, and he rubbed his back secretly, this stinky apprentice, dare to pinch him, I don't know where it hurts when he touches it these two days.

"Brother Su, your complexion is not very good." Wang Xiangqing frowned, "Are you tired these days? Our shop has just opened, and you are thinking about opening a restaurant. No matter how healthy you are, you should pay attention to rest. "

"It's okay, I just didn't sleep well yesterday," Su Wei laughed dryly, and greeted a certain unscrupulous Lord Baylor from head to toe in his heart.

"Boss," Ku Kui walked into the room and whispered in Su Wei's ear, "Brother Zhang brought a lot of things to the courtyard."

Su Wei nodded when he heard the words, and smiled at Wang Xiangqing, "I asked someone to buy a lot of things for the yard, and now they are delivered. I'll go back and have a look."

"Okay," Wang Xiangqing got up and sent Su Wei to the door, "If Brother Su needs anything, just say something. Although Brother is new here, it's easy to help with a few stupid efforts."

"Brother Wang, don't worry, I won't be polite if you have something to do," Su Wei grinned, waved to Wang Xiangqing, turned around and got into the carriage with Ku Kui.

The small courtyard that the fourth elder brother bought for Su Wei was in the alley behind Longfusi Street. It was very clean and quite secluded. It took less than half an hour to go there by carriage from Xitangzi Hutong.

The small courtyard is a standard courtyard house with east and west wing rooms, and the two row rooms at the back of the wing rooms are used as kitchen and warehouse.Xiaoyingzi and Kukui live in the east wing, and the guards live in the west wing.

The main room has three bays, which are quite spacious. The east one is used as a bedroom, and the west one is used as a study.

When Su Wei returned to the small courtyard, Zhang Qilin was leading people to arrange it, and the two big carts pulled from Baylor's house filled the small courtyard to the brim.

"We're the only ones living here, why is it so exquisitely decorated?" Su Wei picked up an enamel vase and looked at it.

"It's the master's order," Zhang Qilin walked to Su Wei with a smile, "You live here, the master has to come here often? It can't be too shabby."

Su Wei pursed his lips, went to the threshold and sat down, clapped his hands and said, "How is Fujin's place? The master hurried back yesterday, but got angry?"

Zhang Qilin sighed, and squatted down next to Su Wei, "Fu Jin has been pregnant for nearly two months, and has been hiding it from the people in the house. After Dr. Ding took the pulse yesterday, he said that Fujin's spleen is weak, and the fetus is weak." The anger is not stable, if it is delayed for a few more days, the child may not be able to keep it. Tell me, can our master not be angry after hearing this?"

Su Wei pursed his lips, lowered his head and pressed the top of his boot, "Fu Jin is also a poor man, brother Honghui went so rashly when he was eight years old, no one can let it go for a while. You usually In the mansion, take care of him more, Fujin is different from Ge Ge in Xibeiyuan, if there is a mistake, the master will feel bad."

Zhang Qilin glanced at Su Wei, sighed in his heart, nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry..."
