Madam Hou

Chapter 116

Time flies, time flies like running water, eyes open, eyes closed, eyes opened again, and then, another year passed.

Although the name of Fu Zhan Fai is three years, it is actually replaced by one year in September. Therefore, in August, the 27-month filial piety period of Lord Lin Laohou has passed.On August [-]th, the Marquis of Yongning held a ceremony to remove the clothes for Old Master Lin, and then they wore plain clothes for one month, and in September they could wear brightly colored regular clothes.

On the tenth day of September, Mrs. Lin's fourth wife, Luo Shi, was pregnant in October and gave birth at full term. Yinniang went to visit, and when she saw the basin of blood water brought out by the maid outside the delivery room, she was so stimulated by the smell of blood that she fainted to the ground.

Yin Niang was escorted back to Tangrong Courtyard by the maid, Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked the doctor to see, the doctor bowed his head to congratulate after half a stick of pulse diagnosis: "Congratulations to Lord Hou and Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Hou is happy, and the pulse has been taken More than two months."

Mrs. Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the Hou's family had been filial for less than one month, but her daughter-in-law was pregnant for more than two months, so she was conceived during the filial period.Mrs. Lin turned her head to look at her son, seeing him touching his nose in embarrassment and laughing silly at the same time, she couldn't help but patted her forehead with a headache, and then went out to get money to seal the doctor's mouth.

Mrs. Lin Tai turned around and said to the servant girl in the room: "Listen clearly, Da Furen is less than one month pregnant, don't make mistakes outside!"

The doctor who hadn't left touched the consultation fee in his pocket, so he kindly reminded: "Mrs. Tai might as well wait for half a month, and then announce that Mrs. Hou is pregnant. It's extremely difficult to get a slippery pulse that's less than a month old." .” After speaking, he lowered his hands to Mrs. Lin Tai and the others, then turned and left.

Mrs. Lin Tai said to the maid in the room again: "I heard what the doctor said, so remember to do it."

All the maids in the room said together: "Yes."

Mrs. Lin Tai didn't dare to blame her pregnant daughter-in-law, so she called her son into the room and yelled at her.

"Look at what you're doing. Don't you have a good reputation for doing these things during the filial piety period? You don't want your official career. Fortunately, it's only an extra month, and it can be fooled by saying that it was a premature delivery. Appearing in the middle of the filial piety period, at that time, you can only drink a bowl of abortion pills, if this hurts your body, see where you can find a place to regret it..."

Anyway, blah blah blah...

Lin Fengqi smirked and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, what mother said is right!"

Mrs. Lin knew that her son didn't listen to her words at all, and waved her son helplessly to go out, and then she was alone in the room with a headache.

But it is always a happy event for the daughter-in-law to be pregnant, and it is also my first grandson. After a while, I feel relieved after a headache.Mrs. Lin felt that such a happy event was to be told to her ancestors, especially her dead ghost husband-in-law, so she turned around and went to the ancestral hall, and put three sticks of incense on the ancestors and Mr. Lin Laohou, and begged them to bless Yin Niang A man in one fell swoop.

As soon as Madam Lin came out of the ancestral hall after offering incense, the maid came to report that the fourth wife, Luo Shi, had given birth to a daughter. Madam Lin looked up to the sky and laughed three times, then turned around and prepared to go to the ancestral hall to thank the ancestor for his protection.Thinking about it later, the daughter of the Luo family is also a descendant of the Lin family. It is not good to gloat in the ancestral hall, so she changed her way to the Buddhist hall, kowtowed three times to the Bodhisattva, clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva for your protection, believers will be determined." Do not forget to burn three incense sticks in the morning and evening every day, and thank the Bodhisattva for his protection.”

Mrs. Lin thought that Luo Shi gave birth to a girl, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. It's useless to get pregnant before his son, and the baby is not a mother's womb.

Lin Fengqi returned to the inner room happily all the way, and saw Yinniang was lying on the bed covering her head with the quilt, only Qing Hua and Cai Zhu were guarding by the bed in the room.

Lin Fengqi walked over and sat down on the side of the bed, pulled the quilt, but the quilt was tightly grasped, but not pulled away.Lin Fengqi said softly: "Yin Niang, what's wrong?"

The quilt still didn't move.

Lin Fengqi looked at Qing Hua and Cai Zhu for help, but they shook their heads to express that they were not clear about the situation.Lin Fengqi waved to them and said, "You guys go down first."

Qing Hua and Cai Zhu Fu saluted, then went down, and even closed the door with a wink when they left.

Lin Fengqi pulled the quilt again, but seeing that it couldn't be pulled, he leaned down and hugged the quilt completely, and asked softly: "What's the matter, who messed with Yin Niang, tell me, I'll stand up for you. "

Yin Niang lifted the quilt, then pushed away the person who was pressing on her and sat up, grabbed a pillow from behind and threw it on her husband, angrily said: "It's you, it's you who bullied me."

Lin Fengqi caught the pillow thrown on him, and then saw that Yinniang's eyes were red, and there was still a teardrop hanging in the eye socket.Only then did Lin Fengqi panic, and at a loss, he reached out to help her wipe her tears, and said while wiping, "What's the matter, why are you crying, shouldn't we be happy to have a child?"

Yin Niang cried "Wow", and she said as she cried: "...I'm ashamed to face people, it's you, I told you not to get in it, you insisted on it. How is it now, everyone, everyone Knowing that we have a child in the filial period, how can you still let me go out to meet people, I have no face to live...it's all your fault..."

Only then did Lin Fengqi figure out why Yinniang was crying, hugged her and confessed, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have done it!"

Yin Niang continued to cover her face and cry, while Lin Fengqi continued to comfort her: "It's a big deal, isn't it only a month away, and we can just fool around with premature birth. Besides, not many people know about it. Me, you, mother, Qinghua, Caizhu, and two little servant girls know about it, there are less than ten people in total, so everyone knows about it. And mother also said it, don’t allow them to spread it to the outside world.”

"Paper can't contain fire, others will always know."

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Who would have nothing to do when they're full and just inquire about these things! Stop crying, it's not good for the child to cry too much." Then he took a handkerchief to help Yinniang wipe away her tears.

Yinniang snatched the handkerchief and threw it on Lin Fengqi again. Lin Fengqi was not angry, but said happily: "I heard people say that women always have big emotional ups and downs when they are pregnant. It seems to be true. It doesn't matter, you love If you lose your temper, just throw it at me, who made Yinniang work hard while pregnant with the child."

Yin Niang was so angry that she almost wanted to die, pulled the quilt over her head again, sniffed her nose and said in a trembling voice: "I don't want to see you now, you are not allowed to talk to me again."

"Well, if you're tired, lie down and rest for a while."

The sniffling sound from inside the quilt gradually subsided, and Lin Fengqi said after a while: "Yin Niang, do you want to eat sour food? I heard people say that pregnant people will want to eat sour food. How about I ask someone to give it to you?" Do you have some sour plums ready?"

Yin Niang flipped the quilt and said angrily: "You don't think there are enough people to know about it, if you make a noise, everyone in the whole house should know about it later."

Lin Fengqi quickly took Yinniang's hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't do it if you don't do it, don't get angry, it's not good for children."

Yin Niang glared at Lin Fengqi, snorted, then pulled up the quilt and continued to cover her head.

Lin Fengxuan and Luo Shi's eldest daughter Xisan, Yinniang, as the eldest aunt, couldn't help but attend. Although Yinniang was embarrassed to go out these days, she felt that they were laughing at her when she saw anyone laughing more.But the niece Xisan didn't go by herself, which made people even more suspicious. Yinniang cheered up, asked someone to prepare a gold ingot, and asked someone to pack some medicinal materials, and then went to the Lanxi courtyard where Lin Fengxuan and Luo Shi lived.

Because it was September, the weather was getting cooler, and newborn babies were most afraid of the wind and cold, so the three baptisms were held in the warm pavilion next to the main room.

Mrs. Da Tai was sitting on the chair, and there was not much joy on her face, but she looked a little dignified.The two aunts, Feng Ling and Feng Rong, also came back, and they were surrounding the Da Tai Furen.Lin Fengye, on the other hand, seemed to be very happy because he was a father for the first time. From time to time, he teased the baby in the nurse's hand, and listening to the praise of the child by the people around him made him happier than praising himself.

In my memory, Lin Fengzhen seldom smiled, and even if he smiled, it would not reach his eyes. This man always seemed to have a lot of things in his heart.The only time Yinniang saw him genuinely smile was only twice. The first time was when she had just moved into the Yongning Hou Mansion, the autumn sun was strong, and she was kicking shuttlecocks in the garden with a group of little maids.Kicking and kicking, the shuttlecock flew out suddenly, the little maid ran over to pick it up, and Yinniang saw that there was a boy standing by and watched them kick the shuttlecock for a long time.

He hadn't seen him at that time, and only when the maid next to him saluted him did he know that he was the Fourth Young Master Lin who often lived in his uncle's house.After Lin Fengzhen returned the shuttlecock to the little maid, when she looked up, she saw Yinniang was looking at him, and she couldn't help grinning at her.Perhaps Yin Niang never saw him smile like this again, so she was particularly impressed by his smile.

And the second time is now.

Seeing Yinniang coming in, Lin Fengxuan stood up quickly, pointed to the swaddling baby in the nurse's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, come and take a look, isn't the eldest sister very beautiful?" His face was full of joy, as if he wanted to talk to everyone People share his joy and even forget to salute.

Yinniang walked over to look at the baby in the nurse's hands, the skin was red, and there was nothing beautiful about it.Yin Niang couldn't bear to ruin Lin Fenghu's happy mood, so she could only agree, "Yes, she is very beautiful."

Because it was the third time, the people who came here were all close relatives, except for the two-bedroom and four-bedroom families who separated out and a few married aunts and grandmothers, the other were several aunts and uncles of the Dong family.

After Yinniang finished filling the pots, she wanted to visit Luo Shi, and after informing Mrs. Da Tai, she took the blue and white flowers to the ear room.

Childbirth is considered to be a dirty thing, and most people will not give birth in the main room, but will prepare a delivery room before delivery, and live in the delivery room after delivery until the lochia is gone.And Roche's delivery room was set up in a side room next to the main room.

When Yinniang entered, Luo Shi was drinking the medicine under the service of the servant girl, there was a strong smell of blood in the room, Yinniang felt nauseous after smelling it.

When Luo Shi saw Yinniang coming in, he quickly called out sister-in-law.Yin Niang asked with a smile, "How is the fourth sibling?"

"Fortunately."

Luo Shi gave birth at full term, and the delivery went very smoothly. The doctor also said that as long as he takes good care of his body, his body will be fine.But Yinniang observes Luo Shi's expression at this time, but sees a thick gloomy look, which does not seem to add much joy to the child.The reason for this is probably because the child was not a son. Yinniang wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start, and said: "The elder sister was born really beautiful, very cute, and the fourth brother looks very cute." Love her."

The gloomy look on Luo's face didn't decrease much, he just raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for your compliment."

Yin Niang said a few more words to cultivate well, don't think too much.Seeing that the smell of blood in the room really made him uncomfortable, he left the side room early and returned to Tangrong Courtyard.
