The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 1 Entering the Mansion
Dingbeihou Mansion.

Outside Songhe Hall.

Jiang Shiyi stood in two rows with seven or eight girls wearing a cyan armor.

On the steps, a fair-faced, clean-cut nun said angrily: "My wife wants to see you, so remember all the rules I taught you..."

The early spring wind blew Jiang Shiyi's hair and clothes. She remembered what her father said to her when she arrived. As a slave born in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, since she was selected into the Marquis Mansion, she would serve her masters carefully. , her father would come to take her home when she could leave the house.

But what Jiang's father didn't expect was that the girl in front of him was no longer their daughter. As early as five years old, another girl wore this body and became their daughter. After more than ten years of getting along, they have become A real family.

It has been almost ten years, and Jiang Shiyi feels that she is powerless to change the current social situation. She has been a slave born in the Hou family for generations. Only by getting rid of her slave status and becoming a son of a good family can she live the way she wants to live.

Jiang Shiyi thought like this and accidentally stepped on the girl in front of him.

"Can you please stop stepping on me?"

There was a scolding sound from the front.

This is Begonia who lives in the same village as her. In the past few months since she came to the Marquis Mansion, all the maids have been taught by her grandma. She has always been full of malice towards Jiang Shiyi.

Haitang's father is the steward of Zhuangzi, and his mother, Zhou Mama, is Mrs. Hou's concubine and is somewhat respectable in the mansion. Therefore, Haitang is petite and willful, and no one dares to express her anger.

On the big Kang by the window in the East Room, Mrs. Zhang was wearing an azure silk tapestry with butterfly pattern and a ginger-yellow heddle skirt. She was leaning on the dark green pillow and looking at the roster in her hand.

Sitting on the huanghuali armchair beside the Kang is a beautiful woman wearing a bright red bat-pattern kesi silk jacket, a moon-white horse-faced skirt, and a peony bun.

It is Xiao Zhang, Mrs. Dingbei Hou.

"Brother Zhan, it's time to add some capable people to the yard."

"It all depends on the mother." Zhang has an oval face, willow eyebrows, and a slender figure. It is completely impossible to tell that she has two sets of children. She looks like she is only in her early thirties.

As we all know, Mrs. Hou Xiao Zhang and Mrs. Zhang both came from the British government. They were both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as aunt and nephew. In the past twenty years, there had never been any discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They were the clear leader in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

"You are such a carefree person!" said the madam.

Mrs. Hou smiled and said, "It's good if I have my mother to worry about."

"When I'm gone, will I still worry about you?"

"Look what mom said, she will live a long life!"

The words made everyone in the room laugh.

"You, you, you have four children, and you still say such things, you are not afraid of being laughed at by your daughter-in-law!"

Several girls filed in quietly without making a sound. Jiang Shiyi stood at the back. She didn't dare to look around, only staring at the complicated carpet of branches and leaves under her feet.

The madam looked at these girls and nodded, about to speak.

A voice came from the yard: "Grandma..."

Before Lu Zhan arrived, he called his grandmother first.

Jiang Shiyi felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and saw only a piece of blue clothes and black boots embroidered with cloud patterns.

"My grandson has met his grandmother. Mother, please give your regards to your grandmother."

"Why do you have time to come here?" the lady asked with a smile.

Lu Zhan stood politely, not looking around, "My grandson finished reading this morning and came to see you when he thought of his grandmother. I didn't know that my grandmother was busy here. Please forgive me."

Haitang raised her head and took a sneak peek. Lu Zhan was wearing a blue brocade robe, with a face like a crown of jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and straight figure. Her heart couldn't help but jump.

Mother Zhou glanced over and quickly lowered her head.

Lu Zhan cupped his hands and said, "Since my grandmother and mother have something to do, my grandson will leave first."

Saying that, he walked out without looking back.

When Lu Zhan walked out, Haitang looked back again.

When Zhou's mother saw it, she looked like she hated iron.

The wife looked at the roster and suddenly asked: "Jiang Kejian, who drove the carriage in the mansion, who is his daughter?" Jiang Shiyi quickly stood up and said, "Jiang Kejian is my father."

"Oh, you are Jiang Kejian's daughter, come here and let me take a look."

Jiang Shiyi stepped forward and raised his head.

"She is indeed a beautiful girl. At that time, your brother was only a teenager. He was an errand in the house and followed the uncle out to block a knife for him. At that time, the old marquis said that if there was a vacancy in the house, people from the Jiang family would be given priority. Make it up, but you were still young at that time, hey! Ten years have passed in a flash!"

The madam sighed.

"How old is this year?"

"Fourteen."

"Do you know the words?"

When Jiang Shiyi was four years old, her mother taught her many words step by step. But now she can't say, "Know a hundred words."

The madam was a little satisfied after hearing this, and winked at the maid Linglong beside her.

Linglong held a purse in her hand and walked over with a smile. Her voice was as sweet as spring water, "The Madam has given it to you, take it quickly!"

This is a very delicate and heavy purse.

Jiang Shiyi took it with both hands and thanked Mrs. Tai.

The madam added, "Let's arrange it in Brother Zhan's courtyard and give them a second-class salary! You can watch the arrangements for the remaining maids."

Mrs. Hou nodded.

After entering Huaibi Courtyard, Jiang Shiyi, Qing Huan, Dan Qing, and Haitang were assigned new residences.

The second-class maids shared a room with four people. Unfortunately, Jiang Shiyi was shared with Haitang again.

The third-class maids Daxue and Xiaoxue came around. Jiang Shiyi opened the purse, and his heart jumped involuntarily.

There are two golden peanuts in the purse. Three or four silver ingots, as well as a few golden melon seeds, each about the size of a thumb, are very delicate. At first glance, it looks like the New Year's money given to children by the ladies in the house during the New Year festival.

Jiang Shiyi held on to his wallet. His brother's tuition fees and his father's medical expenses were all accounted for.

Haitang glanced bitterly, she was second class because of her mother's care, Jiang Shiyi was second class as soon as she came, and the wife gave her a purse.

There is a street behind the Hou Mansion, and the slaves of the Hou Mansion live in and out of the street for generations.

Mother Zhou has a small yard here.

Mother Zhou is at home. He didn't dress like a slave at all. He wore a bright red jacket and a gold hairpin in his hair. There were also two little maids in pink armor serving him with water and food.

"Brother, what are you looking at here today? There are no rules at all! Mother Zhou took a sip of tea and glanced at her unhappy daughter, "The madam hates no rules the most. Also, since you are an errand, don't always do it. return. "

Haitang didn't want to be a slave, but that year at Zhuangzi, she could never forget the first time she saw Lu Zhan. But with her status, that was just wishful thinking. Only when she was by Lu Zhan's side would she have any plans. .

"I hate Jiang Shiyi the most. No matter what I do, she always overpowers me."

Mother Zhou winked and the two little maids withdrew.

"Have you forgotten everything I told you? Brother Zhan is not young anymore. It's time to add people to the house. If brother is interested in you, it's your fate. If you can have a man and a woman in the future, Talking about my aunt, it means a lifetime of glory and wealth! Don't always stare at your eyes."

Haitang smiled, "Then take her somewhere else, don't put her in the second master's yard."

"You are always so restless, wouldn't it be better to put it under your nose?"

Mother Zhou naturally had a plan.

There are now two first-class maids in Lu Zhan's yard. The hosta was given by Mrs. Hou, and Zisu was given by Mrs. Hou. Zisu is one of his own. As long as he intervenes, Jiang Shiyi will not enter the room.

Under Zhou's mother's operation, Haitang came into the study to serve her. Zisu and several maids crowded out her, and Jiang Shiyi could not enter Lu Zhan's room at all.

Jiang Shiyi's task is to clean the yard. She likes this job. As long as she cleans the yard before Lu Zhan gets up, she has nothing to do.

Jiang Shiyi does not have great ambitions. She will work honestly and return home when she reaches the age. This is her goal.
