wives and concubines

Mother Li also knew Mrs. Tai's worries. Sometimes she would toss and turn in bed at night and couldn't sleep, so she hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, it will be fine. You will learn a lot from a pitfall! It's not a big deal to make more troubles now. It’s a misfortune, and we will know the good and bad in the future.”

"What do you mean, those young men who are half-grown and not young are all right, the five and six are all grown-ups, how old is each son, and one is about to start a family, and they will learn a lot of wisdom..." Mrs. Tai disapproved, but Still holding some hope, "I hope what you said can be accurate. I don't know how many years I can take care of them. It's also my fault that I didn't choose a good wife for Lao Wu. I thought that Lao Wu was messing around outside, so I wanted to take care of them." Find someone with tight hands, who knows that people have tight hands, but they are not pointing at themselves to make money, but always want to take advantage of others. If I hadn’t been beating all the time, maybe something bad would have happened.”

After complaining, Mrs. Tai told Mama Li, "Go and tell the steward Wang of the outer courtyard quickly, and tell him that Meixiang courtyard must be properly taken care of. Push it off!"

Mama Li also knew that Mrs. Tai was now fully focused on Meixiangyuan, and she placed her high hopes on it.Even the queen in the palace is counting on her natal family to have two brothers and a sister in peace, to be blessed with a reputation, and to be famous for many things, so it's easy to plan.

So these three children are really important, and there can be no mistakes.

Mother Li hurriedly said, "Don't worry."

For so many years, Mrs. Tai also knew what Mama Li was like, so she didn't hear more about it, and it was strictly forbidden to catch up on sleep.

Mrs. Tai rested, and Mother Li went out and called the woman in charge of shopping to check the things she bought in person.

The most important thing is those who eat.

Mrs. Tai is worried about the things that Chunge imports. The tonics have to be taken from her warehouse. Even if the fruits and vegetables are bought every day, Mama Li must inspect whether they are new and whether they are delivered on the same day. After being tampered with, Mama Li will choose a big maid here, and accompany the purchasers to deliver it to Mama Tong at Meixiangyuan.I also asked Mama Tong to check it again every day before cooking.

This is the case every day, without interruption.

The woman in charge of the shopping stood there tremblingly, watching Mama Li pick out the slightly dry ones from the baskets of tender green fruits and vegetables, and also the top-quality lean meat with uneven fat and thinness.They slandered a few words in their hearts, and even winked at each other.

Li's mother pretended not to see the small movements of these women, and just checked there based on her years of experience.

The yard was so quiet that you could almost hear a needle drop.

Outside, Guanshi Wang came in wearing a crow blue robe, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was full of anxiety.

Apart from Mr. Li in the outer court, the Li family belonged to Mr. Wang, who was the most powerful person, and he was also Li Jianan's confidant. He started from Li Jianan's side as a servant, and slowly climbed to this position.Although due to his age, he still has the title of steward, but he works as the manager's buddy, and manages more than 30 stewards in the family.

Such a person, even the fourth and fifth wives have to give some face, and they have never shown such a flustered look.

When Li's mother saw it, her heart sank. She stood up, cast a glance at Guanshi Wang who was hesitant to speak, and walked aside to avoid everyone's curious looks.

Guanshi Wang also followed without delay, and said in a low voice, "Something happened to the Zhao family!"

There is only one Zhao family in Beijing that can be regarded as having a relationship with the Li family and can make Wang Guanshi.

Mother Li asked calmly: "What happened to the third grandma of the Zhao family? Or did the third young master of the Zhao family make something wrong again?"

The one who reacted very quickly thought of Zhao Entropy and Chen Chunzhen who had the closest relationship.

Steward Wang recounted the news he heard in the shortest possible way, "I don't know the details, I only know that the third grandmother of the Zhao family gave birth prematurely and started to go into labor pains from the day before yesterday. Manager Xing of the Zhao family came over and asked to see the third wife, and said that she would ask the third wife to help invite an imperial physician to come over. He even said that it would be too late! I didn’t dare to specialize, and I didn’t dare to go to Meixiangyuan to report rashly, the Duke is not in the mansion, so I can only ask Mrs. Tai first.”

It's a matter of life and death!

Mother Li didn't hesitate for a moment, and made a decisive decision, "I'll go in and ask Mrs. Tai to get up. Our family and the Zhao family are related by marriage. Since we asked for it, we don't have to wait to ask Mrs. Third. Didn't you have a post from Mrs. Guo? Take it and invite Qin Taiyi, I will go now!"

Mama Li's meaning means Mrs. Tai's meaning.

When Guanshi Wang had something to say, he started to leave, but stopped again, hesitantly said: "Then the Meixiang Courtyard..."

"Third Madam, I have to ask Madam Tai, otherwise..."

Sometimes, you don't even need to finish the words to know the severity.

Guanshi Wang is also a smart person, so he said thank you to Mama Li, and then hurried out.

Mother Li sent some of the women who were shopping to find Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai slept in a daze, but was woken up by Li's mother, and her first reaction was that something serious happened.

At first, I thought that something was wrong with Chun Ge, and I was in a panic, but when I heard that it was Chen Chunzhen's dystocia in the Zhao family, or it started the day before yesterday, I was stunned.

"Well, what's the trouble with this! The Zhao family used to be quiet, and they never talked about right and wrong. Why are they showing it to others now?" Mrs. Tai blamed her face. Said: "It is said that if you raise the seedlings well, I think they can grow crooked neck trees. That kid Zhao Entropy is really not a thing! His wife is still pregnant, just tormenting her like this, do you have any conscience? .”

While helping Mrs. Tai get dressed, Madam Li said, "It's not the whole story, why did you make arrangements for her?"

Mrs. Tai was very disapproving, "If it wasn't for him, how could she have given birth prematurely? It's not like I haven't asked the imperial doctor to see it, and they all said that the fetus is in the right position. It must be Zhao Entropy who made something happen again to make people angry."

Mother Li actually thought the same way, not to mention that Zhao Entropy had nothing to do with her, so she stopped helping and said, "The third lady..."

Mrs. Tai just sighed, "What else can I do? This is a major issue for her natal family. Last time, the third daughter-in-law cried a lot about her tenth sister, and even the third daughter went out to help out for several days. This time there are After all, if we don't tell her, I'm afraid we will resent me in the future, and let's talk about it logically. We have to tell her..."

"Then what if..."

This is not one child, but three children in the belly.Mother Li was always afraid of mistakes, and she was even more afraid that Li Jian'an would blame Mrs. Tai later, and there would be a rift between mother and son, so she was even more hesitant than Mrs. Tai.
