Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 162 Retribution and Surprise (Pink)
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Qingrou who was sent to the front yard finally came back. The little girl heard some good news, and her whole face was full of smiles. Seeing that Liniang's face was a little nervous, Mrs. Wei smiled and said , "This girl, did she pick up gold halfway? How could she be so happy?"

Chen Fengshi curled her lips and said, "Looking at her happy appearance, it can't be that the concubine's status is very high, is it a concubine's in-law in which mansion, then Boss Xiao should not marry a concubine, and a wife with this status is not a concubine. enough."

A flash of hatred flashed in Liniang's half-drowned eyes. She never cared about all the difficulties Chen Feng had made in the past, but now she is so arrogant. Although Xiao Heng has no official position, Hao Lai is also a marquis Son, ladies and gentlemen, who wants to call Master Xiao, only she calls Boss Xiao directly, as if she is afraid that someone will forget that Xiao Heng used to be a merchant.And at this time, she also said that she can be a wife as a concubine's daughter-in-law, which is obviously mocking her humble background and not worthy of the status of Xiao Heng's son.

Liniang hated in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she pretended not to hear Chen Fengshi's words, and asked, "Qing Rou, do you understand who the master wants to take as his concubine?"

Qingrou knelt on the ground and said in a crisp voice, "Returning to Madam, Qingrou asked sister Qingyan who had been serving the banquet in the hall. Previously, the second master of the Qi Mansion in the north of the city wanted to send a beauty who knew poetry. The maidservant came to take care of the master. However... the master said, he has treated you like a guest and respected him for many years. The master's good intentions, but he didn't agree to accept him into the mansion. The second master Qi said that he couldn't read a few words, and it was a pity to put him in the mansion, so he handed it over to the governor, Mr. Chen."

After the little girl said a few words, everyone in the room immediately became noisy. Mrs. Wei praised Xiao Heng for his love, just like in a drama, he is a good man who never forgets his wife when he is rich.The rest of the wives were envious and jealous, and they all entered the deep house in the youth of Jasper, and took care of their husbands, children, and trivial matters in the house every day, but they didn't see their husbands showing any pity, but they left. One concubine after another was dragged into the house by beautiful maidservants, making things difficult for him from time to time.They didn't feel too wronged before, but today when they heard Xiao Hengming's righteous words, secretly defending his wife and unwilling to accept concubines, they began to feel sour in their hearts, wishing to throw some sour words at Liniang, but they could only Blame my poor vision for not picking a good man like Xiao Heng.

Chen Fengshi gritted her teeth fiercely, her eyes turned into scimitars and shot at her close servant girl, wishing she could kill her immediately, just now she laughed at her for "happy with joy", in a blink of an eye this "happy" "It fell into my own house, just like a person who slapped me but slapped me in the face, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Seeing her bluish and red face intertwined, the transformation was wonderful, and the ladies laughed so hard that they could not wait for their stomachs to hurt, and they said that today is really not a day to come to the banquet in vain, after seeing such a good show, but no one expected that this The play is wonderful, and it is only half done at this time.

Li Niang sat on the chair for a long time without reacting, the grievance and resentment accumulated in her heart turned into tears at this moment, she knew that she couldn't lose face in front of others, but she couldn't hold back the tears, and took the handkerchief fiercely with one hand. She wiped it with her hand, and was about to strangle her thigh with one hand, but was stopped by Mu Ai who was standing beside her at some point.

She looked up and saw the girl's caring and pitiful eyes, smiled slightly, and wanted to say that she was fine, but suddenly her eyes darkened and she fell backwards.

There was a sudden exclamation during the banquet. No one thought that the hostess would suddenly pass out. They were all at a loss. They wanted to come over to help but accidentally knocked over the dishes, and the maids were also in a mess.Mu Ai was also a little startled by Liniang who suddenly fell into her arms, but at this moment she couldn't see the chaos and shouted, "Everyone be quiet."

Everyone was taken aback, both the master and the servant girl fell silent for a while, Mu Ai loudly ordered Qing Rou beside her, "First find someone to invite the doctor, and then send someone to notify your master to come, and Chun Equinox will take care of everyone Madam, tea and snacks, and two maidservants to help me guide your mistress into the inner room."

Qingrou responded immediately, and called the two little girls beside her to go to the front yard to find the steward to invite a doctor, and then trotted all the way to invite her master.Just as Mu Ai was about to help Liniang into the inner room, some lady suddenly said, "Isn't Mrs. Xian good at medicine?"

Mu Ai who said this was also taken aback for a moment, and immediately remembered the gossip just now, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she flashed Liniang's astonishing appetite at noon, and said adaptably, "I am only good at children's diseases, my sister-in-law fainted suddenly, I still have to Find an experienced old doctor, I suspect she has..." She deliberately swallowed the word "pregnancy", then helped Liniang and went into the inner room next to her, leaving only the surprised and suspicious people behind.

The spring equinox called the little maids to change the tea again, but at this time, who is still in the mood to drink tea? After all, Mrs. Wei is old and experienced, and she has some guesses in her heart. The corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and she looked at her The two daughter-in-laws nodded and just drank tea quietly without talking.

Soon, after a cup of tea, Xiao Heng rushed over from the main courtyard. Although he couldn't hide his worry on his face, he first apologized to the old lady Wei and the wives before entering the inner room to see Liniang.

Liniang was lying flat on the bed with her eyes closed, her face was a little pale, but her breathing was very steady.And Mu Ai stood beside the bed with a smile, without the slightest sign of anxiety.Seeing her like this, Xiao Heng let go of half of his hanging heart. With the closeness of the sister-in-law and sister-in-law, if something happened to Liniang, his sister would not be so relaxed.He asked softly, "Sister, what's wrong with your sister-in-law?"

Mu Ai replied with a smile, "Brother, I don't know, but it should be a happy event, and I will understand when the doctor comes to check the pulse in a while."

Xiao Heng didn't ask any more questions, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Qing Rou brought in an old doctor with a gray beard, and Xiao Heng asked the old doctor to take a pulse after seeing Li solemnly.When the old doctor ordered a full cup of tea, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Master Xiao, Mrs. Xiao is very happy, because the pregnancy is only a month old, so the pulse is not showing."

"Really?" Xiao Heng exclaimed in surprise. It turned out that Liniang was suffering from a serious illness due to some past events, and she had to seek medical treatment for many years before giving birth to Cheng'er. At that time, some doctors said that she might not be pregnant again in the future. I was pregnant, but I didn't expect to be happy again today.How can this not make him happy, besides, he has been trying his best to find excuses for returning to Hua late these few days, this is great, the sleepy person gave the pillow, what a coincidence.

"Doctor, when will my sister-in-law wake up?" Mu Ai was also very happy for Xiao Heng and his wife, and asked.

The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "Mrs. Xiao, this is caused by too much ups and downs in her mood. It's not a problem. She will wake up after a short rest, and try to rest as much as possible in the future. After three months, the fetus will be fine after sitting still." .”

Both Xiao Heng and Mu Ai breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Heng personally sent the old doctor out, and gave him ten taels of gold as a thank you.Qing Rou stayed to take care of Liniang, and Mu Ai went to the flower hall to announce the happy news. Everyone couldn't find anything to say except congratulations. This banquet was already too exciting, and Chen Fengshi wanted to slap herself even more. What she said It all became true, except that the concubine became her younger sister, and the full moon wine belonged to Liniang's child...

After everyone in the main courtyard also knew the good news, they all congratulated each other and ended the banquet with great interest, and then returned to their respective residences with their wives and children.Outside the gate, Chen Fengshi got into her carriage with a livid face, and after a while, her shrill crying and cursing sounded in the carriage, causing the wives in the carriages behind to raise the curtains to laugh and listen.Finally, when all the carriages drove away from the gate, Xiao's residence was completely clean.

Liniang woke up after drinking two cups of spring water. Hearing that she was pregnant, she couldn't help crying. Mu Ai left Xiao Heng to comfort her, and took Qingrou Qingyun and several of Liniang's close maids to get busy. After the aftermath banquet, it was not until after the second shift that after making sure that the children were full and fell asleep after eating and playing, they turned and went back to their room, poured a glass of red wine, gently shook their wrists, and looked at the blood-red liquid in the crystal clear glass. Swaying and turning, the sourness in her heart finally began to slowly unfold, my child...

Waking up early the next morning, the two families had a lively breakfast together. When Cheng'er heard that she was going to have a little brother, she jumped all over the floor with Simba and shouted, "No little brother, but a beautiful little sister."

Liniang smiled and asked them if they would like to lead the little brother to fight on horseback, or would they like to accompany the little sister to embroider handkerchiefs, but the two naughty boys immediately changed their minds and cheered that they could finally not take turns as soldiers. Everyone can be a general, and let the little brother be a soldier all the time.The three adults laughed so hard that they almost spit out the porridge.

After dinner, several children ran out to play, and Liniang went back to the house and continued to rest in bed.

Mu Ai and Xiao Heng sat in the hall drinking tea, thought for a moment, and asked, "Brother, do you know any medicine dealers in this city?"

Xiao Heng glanced at her suspiciously, "Medicine dealer? I really know someone well, and we drank tea together a few days ago, but why is the girl suddenly involved in medical matters, but what's wrong with her body?"

Mu Ai shook her head and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with me. The reason why I asked about medicinal materials is because I wanted to open a medical clinic. My brother also knows that I have planted a few medicines in the past two years. New vegetables, I really earned some money, and now I have a house and a field, and I have enough food and clothing. Logically speaking, there should be nothing to worry about. But recently, whether it is day or night, I often think of the time when I was in exile. The hardships at that time, I think I settled down in Kao City, and I was able to live in peace, but I didn’t get anything in return, so I felt uneasy. So, after thinking about it, I plan to open a medical center in this city, and give free money to the poor. We treat patients, half sell and half give away medicinal materials, this relieves the pain of the people who have no money to treat diseases, and also fulfills a great merit for me. Big brother, what do you think?"
