home in the end

Chapter 204
After seeing off Liang Yimei and the others, the close mother said doubtfully, "Ma'am, it's a coincidence that they came here."

Mrs. Mu was full of joy, "Anyway, this matter is already half done, and it would be better if he has the heart!"

Mu Yingrong looked at her mother confusedly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Mrs. Mu paused, and exchanged glances with her close mother, she felt that it would be better to have an affair with her daughter, and said, "The grandma Zheng came to tell you about kissing, and she was talking about the second son of the Liang family... "

Bitterness flashed in Mu Yingrong's eyes first, and then she froze. She raised her head and looked at her mother. Seeing her mother was looking at her, she turned red and lowered her head.

A smile flashed in Mrs. Mu's eyes, and then she said with a straight face, "It's just that he is a civil servant, but our family is all military generals. I'm afraid this marriage..."

"Mother," Mu Yingrong looked up at her anxiously.

Mrs. Mu was a little funny, so she touched her head and said, "I know, but I still want to see each other, see each other!"

Only then did Mu Yingrong realize that her mother was teasing her, stomped her foot and ran away.

Mu Yingrong leaned against the wall with a red face, but remembered what Liang Yimei said in the garden just now that her second brother was already talking about kissing. At that time, she was only concerned about being sad, but forgot to look at her expression. Did you come out?

Mrs. Mu immediately took some gift boxes and went to the house of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. Since Liang's family came to say goodbye, Mrs. Wu didn't have to go to Liang's house anymore, but she was the matchmaker on the woman's side. It's all about making it clear.

Mrs. Wu was a little surprised. When Mrs. Mu came to talk about this marriage, she was not optimistic. After all, civil and martial arts have different paths, but she didn't expect that the Liang family would make an agreement after only one day.

The two families formed a marriage, and she didn't have to be involved in it, so she was naturally happy to see it succeed, so when Mrs. Mu asked her to be the matchmaker for the woman, Mrs. Wu readily agreed.

Because the two families are interested, the marriage progressed faster than ordinary families. In mid-May, Mrs. Mu took Mu Yingrong to Baiyun Temple to offer incense. They happened to meet Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Chen, and the two families had a meal together. Su Zhai, it just so happened that Zheng Jue's gang of four was also visiting Baiyun Temple, and Shang Zhiqing was Mrs. Wu's junior, so he brought a few people over to pay his respects...

Liang Yimei, who was walking with her waist supported in the garden at home, heard about this series of "coincidences" and had to lament the ancient blind date technology.

Afterwards, everything was logical. Mrs. Mu fell in love with Liang Yilin, a young talent, and Mrs. Chen fell in love with the gentle and kind Mu Yingrong. The two hit it off. The matchmaker here.

Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma heard that Liang Yilin was willing to marry a wife, Mu Yingrong who was often a guest at home, so they were overjoyed to prepare a dowry.

But Liang Yilin stopped him and said: "I have to ask my elder brother for his opinion on this matter, and I have to ask the Mu family for the marriage date." In fact, Liang Yilin would rather wait for his elder brother to get married before he gets married, but because of his respect for his elder brother I understand, the elder brother will probably let him get married first, and now we only need to see what the Mu family thinks.

Mrs. Mu is also talking about this matter with her close mother here, "I have already written to the master. According to my opinion, it is better for Yingrong to marry after the eldest son of the Liang family gets married. During the war, we only have such a daughter. The master must want to watch her get married with my own eyes. Secondly, I also want to keep her for a while. I used to spoil her and didn’t want her to suffer. These days are also good for her to learn more."

"But when will this battle end? Besides, the eldest son of the Liang family may not be able to get married right away when he comes back, not to mention that he is married to the clan wife of the Liang family. According to the servant girl, it is better not to talk about it to death. It is only said that the marriage will be settled first, and the wedding date will be discussed after the master comes back."

Mrs. Mu hesitated, "The second son of the Liang family is 20 years old this year..."

"Isn't the eldest son of the Liang family older?" the close mother insisted: "And there are not no men in Beijing who get married after the age of 20."

Mrs. Mu didn't nod or shake her head, "Ask the master first, and then see what the Liang family has to say."

By July, the marriage of the two families had been settled, and the marriage certificates were exchanged in the yamen.

When the officials and family members of the same rank met, it spread, and everyone knew that there were two less choices when getting married. Cao Keyuan and Peng Ying only knew that the Muliangs were married.

Peng Ying felt a little regretful, "Elder Sister Mu is also the daughter of General Dingyuan who is a third rank, so why..."

Cao Keyuan frowned slightly, "Sister Liang is married to Marquis Changping, the Liang family's status is not considered low."

Peng Ying also got married at the beginning of the year. Although it is not as good as Cao Keyuan's in-law's family, who is a big official in the frontier, but it is also a well-known family. The Gu family was once a marquis in the Taizu. There are more than a dozen officials, not counting the reserve army.

That's why Peng Ying felt that Mu Yingrong's marriage was a little low.

At this time, the Liang family had already turned their attention to Liang Yimei's belly. The delivery date was approaching, and it was the first child of the Hou and Liang families. Everyone was very worried. Mrs. Tai supervised Liang Yimei's eating activities together.

The Hou Mansion is like facing a formidable enemy, Hou Yunping is a little bit at a loss because of this atmosphere, but he still keeps his composure and practice calligraphy in the study every day, only Liang Yimei is discussing the child's clothes with A Tao without any feeling .

Since she was pregnant, Mrs. Guangtai has prepared a large basket of clothes for the child, but the closer the day is, the more she wants to find something for herself to do.

It would be a lie to say that she is not nervous, Liang Yimei has told A Tao about the things that need to be paid attention to one by one in the past few days, even transferred Yinger and A Xing to her side, and excluded A Li from the outside.

He also took the half bottle of psychic liquid that was originally reserved for Liang Yilin just in case. She hasn't entered the space since she was pregnant. After all, the time difference between the inside and the outside is too big, although it has no effect on her in normal times. But who knows if it will affect the children.

She called Huihui in her heart more than once, but she didn't get any response, so she knew that she hadn't woken up.

The expected date of delivery is around the twelfth of July. Mrs. Tai frowned slightly when she heard about it: "It's too close to the Ghost Festival!"

"That's not true." Fifth Grandma was also a little worried, "Why don't we go to Baiyun Temple to burn a stick of incense and pay homage to the ancestors of the Hou family, and hope that they will keep the child safe!"

Liang Yimei blinked her eyes, not daring to say that she was born on July [-]th, only one day away from the Ghost Festival, when the gate of hell opens.

But Hou Yunping remembered, and his silence was so strange that he opened his mouth to object, but Liang Yimei, who was sitting beside him, pulled him back and didn't let him speak.

The old people are willing to believe that no matter how reasonable what they say, it is useless, and it is good to make them feel at ease.

What surprised everyone in the Hou Mansion was that Liang Yimei's stomach didn't move until the end of July, and Liang Yimei, who had always been optimistic, also secretly became anxious, pulled Hou Yunping's sleeve and said, "Nothing will happen to the child. Right? He used to kick me at every turn, but he hasn't moved much in the past two days." Last night he didn't even move.

Hou Yunping felt as if a needle had been pricked in his heart, but on his face, he hugged his little wife tenderly, and comforted him: "It will be fine, you forgot that he kicked you yesterday morning, which made you feel uncomfortable. With a body and such great strength, it can be seen that he is a healthy child."

"Really?" She couldn't remember what happened yesterday morning.

Hou Yunping smiled and assured: "Of course it is true, and the imperial doctor also said that he will come out when the day comes, so it can be seen that the day has not yet come."

But it's been ten months!
Although Liang Yimei does not know medical skills, she still knows the basic physiological knowledge. Pregnancy in October does not mean that she must be pregnant for ten months, but more than nine months.

She touched her belly uneasily and leaned into Hou Yunping's arms.

Entering August, there was still no movement in the stomach, Mrs. Tai came to comfort Liang Yimei herself, Liang Yimei could smell sandalwood from her body, and worry appeared in Hou Yunping's eyes.

The servants in the mansion became more cautious.

The people outside watched the imperial physicians going to the Marquis of Changping. Although they didn't know what happened, they couldn't help sighing: the heirs of Marquis Changping are really difficult!
Several imperial physicians took turns to feel Liang Yimei's pulse, discussed with each other, and then the imperial physician Liu who was used to treating the Hou family came forward and said: "Mrs. Tai, Lord Hou, the fetus is very healthy, but there is no sign of taking action yet. This... we It’s not very clear either.”

Mrs. Tai frowned tightly, "Could it be that you guys mistaken the date of pregnancy earlier, so it's not yet time for delivery."

Cold sweat rolled down Imperial Physician Liu's forehead. He was the one who confirmed Liang Yimei's pulse at the beginning.

The doctor Zhang next to her stepped forward and said: "Mrs. Tai, we have all seen it. Madam, she is indeed pregnant for 310 days, and the date of doctor Liu's diagnosis is not wrong." The average pregnant woman is only ripe after 280 days...

Hou Yunping's eyes flashed sternly, "Why hasn't that child been born yet?"

Several imperial physicians looked at each other in blank dismay.

Mrs. Tai was about to get angry when a drug boy standing in the corner as the background stepped forward and said hesitantly: "Could it be Mrs. who is pregnant with multiple births?"

Everyone in the room was taken aback for a moment, Mrs. Tai came back to her senses, her eyes lit up, and she asked him eagerly, "What should I say?"

Hou Yunping also looked at him, the light in his eyes flashed.

Yaotong took a look at several imperial physicians, and Imperial Physician Liu waved his hand and said, "Your family has also practiced medicine for generations. If you know, just say it. Even if you say something wrong, no one will blame you." Now he only hopes to find out the reason as soon as possible. , because of Madam Changping, even the emperor and empress were alarmed, and more and more imperial physicians were sent every day, but they still couldn't find the reason.

"When the younger generation was copying the pulse, it was found that one of them was similar to what was written in a medical book in the younger generation's family. It was said to be dark veins. Some women were pregnant with multiple births but could not be diagnosed because of dark pulses. It is also written in medical science that due to multiple births, the mother’s body is not well nourished, so the birth is later than the average fetus.”

"Then can you diagnose it?" Hou Yunping asked in a low voice.

Yaotong paused for a moment, then bowed and said, "Go back to Lord Hou, the young ones are shallow, so they can't be diagnosed."
