The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 53 Pregnancy
Zhang Tingzan came back from the outside and wanted to enter the door, but he paused at the door for some reason.

He sighed, turned around and went to the study room, only took a few books and was about to leave.

Chang An just came over from the main room holding the ledger. When he saw Zhang Tingzan, his eyes were happy, but he walked up reservedly, bowed and bowed: "Master, the eldest and youngest mistress are still in the room. Are you leaving?"

Zhang Tingzan laughed at himself: "Are you going to report to the mansion?"

This tone of chatting with Chang'an is familiar.

Chang'an heard the words and nodded: "Recently, the master asked the young mistress to take care of everything. Although the young mistress is handled by the servant and Wang Fushun's family, after all, she has to be seen by the young mistress. But don't worry, sir, the slave will save it, no It will make the eldest young mistress tired."

"You are caring. You were the one who rescued Yuzhu back then. Although you couldn't save the child... Anyway, you are by your mother's side. You should be familiar with taking care of these things. Just let go and help Yuzhu. Yuzhu's heart Well, just too tired..."

From two or three months ago, the old lady kept stuffing people into his room and forced him to rest in the concubine's room. Zhang Tingzan just came over from there today.

He knew that the Chen family would be sad, but Zhang Tingzan was the eldest son of the family after all, and carrying on the family line was also a burden.

The doctor had seen Yuzhu a long time ago, and said that she was weak, and she was depleted due to a miscarriage a few years ago. Seeing that she couldn't raise her well, it was impossible to have a child.

even……

Lives are in danger.

Thinking about it, Zhang Tingzan remembered that the doctor's hesitant words that day already hinted that he was preparing for his wife's birthday.

Yuzhu's days are not many, Zhang Tingzan also feels troubled thinking about it.

When they met, they were sad, he was heartbroken, and Yuzhu was also heartbroken, so they simply disappeared.

Now that I see Chang'an, I can say a word or two.

Chang'an only felt pain in his heart, and bowed his head: "You don't have to worry too much about it, and the eldest and youngest mistress may not be in good condition..."

"I have already told you about Yuzhu's situation, and you have also told your mother. She is determined to go her own way... Yuzhu... Yuzhu is unhappy. Why should I make her sad? You take care of her and keep an eye on the house. If anyone of the servants in the village is negligent, just throw them out."

Zhang Tingzan knew Chang'an a long time ago, and has been with Wu for a long time, and he is very good at handling affairs.

The last time when Mrs. Chen fell, Chang An was still under it, and it is said that she was covered in black and blue.

Such a maid, who sacrificed her life to protect the master, naturally won the trust of the masters.

Chang'an pinched his big black and shiny braid, his eyes flickered slightly, and he mustered up his courage. He quickly glanced at Zhang Tingzan, and blushed again: "I'm afraid that the task given to the slave by the master is too heavy, and the slave can't take care of you." Young Mistress..."

Zhang Tingzan finally laughed out loud: "You have been working with mother for so long, you are very reliable, and you are also an honest person. Let's go. I am going to the palace here."

"Well, the servants will send the uncle off respectfully."

Chang An bowed and bowed again, standing in the corridor, watching Zhang Tingzan slowly walk away and disappear, she held the account book and pressed it to her chest, with a smile on her face, opened the curtain and went in.

"Eldest young mistress, this servant is here to show you the account book."

Chen held the medicine bowl and just drank it.

She raised her hand and handed the empty medicine bowl to Ting Lan, her personal maid. When she saw Chang An coming in, she put on a smile on her face: "You are walking around very fast, and now you just come to talk to me."

Looking away from Mrs. Chen's medicine bowl, Chang An blessed himself, and then came up and handed the ledger to Mrs. Chen: "Young Mistress, look at this ledger, it was just taken out of the old lady's room. This is the The expenses in the garden after the month, and the accounts of the front yard will come later, and I will show you again."

Chen only felt dizzy, she sighed, and took over the account book, "I just glanced at it, and it's all up to you to deal with these things. I just drank the medicine, and I always feel sleepy. In this winter, more and more Too lazy to move."

"You just took advantage of this winter to take good care of your body, and you will be able to go out in the spring of the next year. When you turn around and grow stronger, you will add a big fat boy to the mansion, that will be a real happy event..."

Chang'an's voice is not the delicate one, but very clear, and her brows and eyes have a light and transparent feeling, which is different from other maids.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen's complexion changed, and her heart ached.

She lowered her eyes and smiled wryly: "You are very clear about how dilapidated my body is. If you hadn't saved me back then, I'm afraid I would have gone to the underworld to drink tea with Lord Hades. Don't say these things Yeah, I'm stuck."

"Chang'an knows his mistake, it's because Chang'an didn't think carefully, he should fight."

As he spoke, Chang An stretched out his hand and patted his mouth, came up and tugged on Chen Shi's sleeve, his tone seemed to be cautious: "Don't think too much, young mistress, I don't dare to say too much..."

The needle had already been released and stabbed someone, but when I turned around, I dared not say any more.

Chang'an's ability is also first-class.

Gu Huaishu passed by the window of that house, Mrs. Chen was lying on the kang on the east side, if she was standing in the corridor, she could hear the conversation inside.

She brought some maids with her and brought some things, and before she reached the main entrance, she heard what Chang An said just now.

Gu Huaishu paused and sneered.

She walked around here calmly, and let Duo Huan go to communicate first.

Then, a maid serving outside the big room called out: "Eldest Young Mistress, Second Young Mistress has come to see you."

When the words fell, Gu Huaishou happened to walk outside the door, with a leather case covering his hands to protect him from the cold, and a cloak on his back.

"Please come in quickly, it's cold outside." Chen's voice was in the back room, only calling for people to come in.

The servant girl was busy saluting Gu Huaishu, while someone led her into the back room.

Qing Dai opened the beaded curtain for Gu Huaixiu, when Gu Huaixiu went in, she saw Mrs. Chen lying on the kang with an autumn-colored blanket on her lap, her face was pale, but her eyes were frighteningly bright.

She was sick and thin, and her eyes seemed a little too big in that palm-sized face.

"When I came back yesterday, I heard that my sister-in-law had caught a cold. Have you asked someone to come and see?"

Gu Huaixiu walked this way while talking.

When Changan saw Gu Huaishu, she frowned quietly, she didn't like this Second Young Mistress very much, she acted too arrogantly, and she didn't hold back at all.But Gu Huaishu is the master, and she is a slave, so she can only obediently salute Gu Huaishu: "Slave Chang'an, send my regards to Second Young Mistress."

As if Gu Huaishu hadn't heard, Ting Lan moved the embroidered pier and put it on the side, which happened to be the place for Gu Huaixiu.

She walked over, sat down firmly, adjusted the satin material of her bright blue dress, and then waved her hand casually to Chang An: "You are the maid of the old lady, you are decent, so you don't need to be so polite. Get up... ..."

This is a nice word, but it has a thorn in it.

Chang'an was originally more respectable than other maids in the mansion, and the maids inside and outside would call "Miss Chang'an" or "Sister Chang'an" when they saw it, but when they came to Gu Huaixiu, they didn't take it seriously with.

Clenching his fingers tightly, the smile on Chang'an's face did not fade away, as if it was not her who was ridiculed at all, and he remained calm.

"Thank you, Second Young Mistress. Eldest Young Mistress, you are chatting with Second Young Mistress here, the ledger..."

When Chen heard this, she only felt a headache. She pressed her temples, but picked up the ledger on the desk, flipped through a few pages, and felt dizzy in front of her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Gu Huaishu asked worriedly when he saw this appearance.

"It's just a little dizzy." Chen shook her head, handed the account book to the maid, and signaled the maid to return it to Chang'an: "You should read the account book, I just feel dizzy now, I can't read it anymore."

Chang An took the ledger with a bow, stood in the room, and said cautiously: "This slave does not dare to deal with it alone. If the young mistress really can't read it, the slave will go back and read it with Wang Fushun's family. If you find anything Let me ask the young mistress about the problem again. I don't know what you think?"

"You are safe, the method is also safe, very safe, you go."

Mrs. Chen said "safe" three times in a row, waved her hand, and asked someone to send Chang'an out.

Gu Huaishu turned his head to look at Chang'an's back. He didn't like to dress up, and he didn't have any makeup on his body. He even looked clean with his eyebrows and eyes.Slender, tall, like Qinglan Yuanmei, no matter how you look at it, she is a dignified and general maid, knowledgeable and capable, calm and calm, and she can't make a mistake in managing the family.

No wonder.

If it weren't for such a person, how could these things be calculated in every possible way without leaking anything?

Looking back at Mrs. Chen again, although he is also a shrewd person, because his health has not been very good in recent years, it is inevitable that these things will be neglected.Most of the time, it's just powerlessness.

"It's rare for you to come here. I'm afraid you heard that I was sick, so you made a special trip, right? Cough..."

Mrs. Chen coughed twice, but smiled softly, "From now on, you should stop walking around my place. If you come here and get sick, what should you do?"

"Where is there such a saying that it's so easy to pass the sickness?" Gu Huaishu went to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, but he couldn't say that.

She thought for a while, then suddenly glanced at the door again, and said: "Miss Chang'an seems to be very capable by the old lady's side. Looking at her, I feel that none of the maids around me can stand on the stage."

Said, Gu Huaishu poked Qing Dai's finger.

Mrs. Chen found it interesting: "Where is there any reason to dislike your own maid when you see someone else's maid? We can't find a second Chang'an in our house. You, just put that thought in your stomach. Isn't the maid the best?"

"Looking greedy... Miss Chang'an is so capable..." Gu Huaishu slowly brought the topic to Chang'an.

Chen Shi has a good impression of Chang'an, she can only sigh when she thinks of those sad things in the past.

"I like Chang'an very much. Not only is she capable, but she is also kind-hearted. It's a pity that she is by the old lady's side, and I am embarrassed to take her. I don't think I covet the power in the old lady's hands."

"I know the ability, but who can know this kind-hearted person?"

Gu Huaishu took the tea brought by the maid, blowing the hot air on the surface, and seemed to mention this casually.

Chen followed her words and continued, "I haven't heard anything about my stomach for many years, and it's not a secret in the house. I won't be afraid of making fun of you if I tell it. I was pregnant a few years ago, but it's a pity..."

Slowly, Mrs. Chen told what happened to her back then.

At that time she fell and was about to fall, but fortunately Chang An came up to help her.It's just that the two of them couldn't stand still tremblingly, and then continued to fall in the other direction, rolling down the steps without a hitch.

Chang'an protected her with his body all the way, but the position where he landed at the end was not quite right.

There was a stone at the back of Chen's head, and it was Chang'an who used his own arm to support it, which prevented Chen from knocking his head on it.

If it is true, maybe Chen's life will be gone.

Although he lost his child later, he managed to save his life.

"I'm grateful to Chang'an in my heart. You didn't see her at the time. The whole palm of her hand was covered in blood, and now there is still a scar on the back of her hand."

Chen shi sighed, held the stove and roasted his hands.

"Youchen and I felt sorry for each other, and asked Youchen to find some ointment to remove the scars for Chang'an to use. Unfortunately, the scars could not go away. Such a beautiful girl, why did she leave a piece of her hands? What about the unsightly scar? Youchen is also very guilty, but there is nothing we can do about it."

It seems that Zhang Tingzan really has the same opinion as Chen Shi.

The couple never doubted Chang'an from the beginning to the end.

After all, this is an accident no matter how you look at it.

After hearing this, Gu Huaishu didn't refute, let alone interrupt.

She pressed Chen's hand, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't even think about it. I brought you some things today, and there are some small things. You play with them and put them outside. Let's not talk about it." Talk about good things about these unpleasant things."

When Chen was ill, she was always in a gloomy mood, but with Gu Huaixiu coming to talk with her, she was much more cheerful.

"It's my good fortune to have you here. I haven't recovered from my health after so many years of recuperation, but I'm used to it. You don't have to worry about anything, I know it well."

"...Sister-in-law, it's a good thing that you feel at ease."

Gu Huaixiu didn't know what to say after thinking about it. The doctors who came here these years were all found by Chang'an, or invited by the old lady.

She was thinking about it carefully, but before she could think of the next topic, she heard someone coming outside again.

It was a delicate voice, but the footsteps were very brisk, as if meeting some happy event.

"I heard that the youngest mistress is ill, so my concubine rushed to take care of her illness, lest the uncle be unhappy for a while..."

The man talked about sickness, but it didn't mean any sorrow.

The servant girl reported: "Eldest young mistress, second young mistress, Aunt Feng is here to attend to the sick."

Chen's complexion changed, and he felt a little painful, his hands shook for a while, but he closed his eyes, and said calmly, "Come in."

The old lady stuffed a lot of people into Zhang Tingzan's room. Knowing that she might not be able to raise any more, Mrs. Chen also persuaded Zhang Tingzan to go to another room, but she didn't care which one would go to more.

Usually, she doesn't want to see these aunts, they are in different rooms, but today Aunt Feng came to serve the sick...

Gu Huaishu was no stranger to such scenes.

She still remembered that when Gu Zhenguan's original spouse was here, Aunt Liu would often visit her, she was very careful not to make any mistakes.

But now, Aunt Feng who came in is really an eyesore.

A concubine does not have the appearance of a concubine, let alone the dignity of a wife. She looks at her with a flamboyant look, and she has a gaudy and powdery air when she looks at her.

Gu Huaishu didn't like it very much, so he just sat on the side and didn't speak.

That Aunt Feng is pretty good-looking, she was just a second-class maid beside the old lady, but suddenly she was disgraced and became the uncle's concubine, which can be regarded as flying on the branch.

In the past few months, counting on her fingers, Aunt Feng has been exposed to a lot of rain and dew.

Today, there is another joyful event that I want to share with the young lady.

She came in, bowed slightly, squeezed her throat and said: "The concubine greets the first young mistress and the second young mistress."

Chen shi secretly sighed, these bad things will come sooner or later.

She just felt that it was a bit embarrassing for Gu Huaishu to watch here.But what can I do?
"Why is Aunt Feng here? Don't be too polite, just get up."

"I heard that the youngest mistress is ill, and the concubine dare not stop to take care of me, lest the uncle come back and scold me..."

Aunt Feng had two pink spots on her cheeks, which made Chen's face pale and bloodless.

Gu Huaixiu looked at it and felt that Chen's face turned gray.

She remembered what Zhang Tingyu said about Zhang Tingzan's deep affection for the Chen couple, but in the end it was no match for what the mansion wanted to say about inheriting the family, some things were really not as simple as what they said.

What's more, there is a powerful Chang'an?
Gu Huaixiu had his own plans, he handed the teacup to his side, and the servant girl took it automatically.

Aunt Feng came up: "You little concubine, let's beat the young lady's legs..."

One step, two steps, three steps.

There was a sudden pause in her footsteps, and Aunt Feng happened to get close to them, but she suddenly covered her lips and retched to the side.

The maids hurried to fetch the spittoon and hold it for her.

Here, Gu Huaishu and Chen's expressions all changed.

Aunt Feng was proud, but another wave of nausea came up, she frowned uncomfortably, and threw up while holding the spittoon.

Leaning on the autumn-scented pillow, Chen seemed to lose all her strength, her voice was also weak, and she waved her hands tremblingly: "Ask someone to invite a doctor to feel the pulse of Aunt Feng..."
