Madam Hou

Chapter 147

This is bound to be a sleepless night for many.In Fushouyuan, Qingheyuan, and the west-span courtyard of the main courtyard, candles were lit all night long.

Mrs. Lin Tai was so excited that she didn't sleep all night, she took Yuan Momo's hand and muttered after a while, "...you didn't hear the cry when he opened his voice, it was loud and loud, full of breath, and you can feel it when you hear it." I know he has a strong body and strong bones. He looks like Feng Qi, and he will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up!" After a while, he said, "... Who do you want to invite for the three ceremonies? This is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, so it must be a big deal , do you think where is the best place to do laundry?" Or: "...have you finished the small clothes for my brother? If you are done, ask the sewing room to come to me first, and I will check it first. One more time. The skin of the child is tender, so as not to leave a thread in it and hurt the elder brother." Then he said, "...I had a good eye at the beginning, and I strongly advocated hiring Yinniang. You see, her first birth is a son!"...

Yuan Memo sat next to Mrs. Lin, flattering and flattering Mrs. Lin, making her smile even more.

In Qinghe Courtyard, the atmosphere is completely different from Fushou Courtyard.In the empty Buddhist hall, two oil lamps were lit alone. The Da Tai Furen knelt on the cushion under the Buddha statue, the beads in her hands were spinning rapidly, and the scriptures in her mouth were chanting faster and faster.The fourth wife, Luo Shi, also accompanied her, and she picked a buddha bean after chanting a scripture, but she was slow in picking, so far, she only picked half a small bowl.

Bingyue came in from the outside, the spinning beads in her hand immediately stopped, and the Da Tai Furen opened her eyes.Luo Shi has been paying attention to the movements of the Da Tai Madam, seeing that she has stopped reciting scriptures, he quickly closed the scriptures and stood up.She had been kneeling for a long time, her legs were a little numb, and she even trembled a little when she stood up. She only moved her knees a little, then walked over with strength to help her mother-in-law up, and then helped her to sit down at the next table , and poured her another cup of tea.After reading the scriptures for a long time, I should be thirsty at this time.

But Mrs. Da Tai waved her hand, instead of taking her tea, she asked Bingyue, "How is it?"

Bingyue paused for a while before saying: "...is a son."

Mrs. Da Tai closed her eyes in despair, Bingyue felt distressed for a while, she has been with Mrs. Da Tai since she was six years old, and now it has been more than 20 years. Miss, you have been forced step by step to the point where you are now.

The eldest lady slowly opened her eyes, without speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Luo Shi.Luo Shi understood, and quickly said: "Mother, it's getting late, please allow my daughter-in-law to leave, and my daughter-in-law will come to serve you tomorrow!"

The Da Tai Furen gave a soft "hmm" and said: "Go, serve Brother Hu well, you don't have to serve me at my place tomorrow."

Luo Shi bowed his knees and said yes, then went out from the Buddhist hall.After Luo Shi left, the Da Tai Furen threw the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table, and said half angry and half angry: "Useless things, you can't even have a son!" After speaking, she sighed helplessly.

Bingyue looked at the prayer beads lying on the table, and thought to herself: The young lady doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas anymore, even if she can still stay in the Buddhist hall every day, it's just because of loneliness.But how can this be the eldest lady's fault, whoever worships and believes in the Buddha every day, but in the end the gods and Buddhas never bless her wish, I'm afraid she won't be able to believe in it anymore.

Bingyue couldn't help comforting her and said: "Mrs. Tai, don't be too discouraged. Although the baby is born, it's still up to you whether you can stand still."

The Madam nodded.

In the Xikuo courtyard, Hongying lifted the curtain and came in from the outside. Seeing Liu Jianjian who had been standing in front of the desk writing quietly, she said, "The main house gave birth to a son."

Lucy Liu nodded, but didn't speak.

Hongying said again: "Auntie, I advised you a long time ago that you should get rid of the piece of meat when the child is still in Chen's womb. Now that a son is born, Lord Hou will only pay more attention to the main wife. For you What good is there?"

If he was really thinking about her, he wouldn't have said such things at all.She came into the Hou Mansion alone, with no contacts or backers in her hands. Whether this method will succeed is another matter. Even if it succeeds, the possibility of being found out is very high, and she will die at that time.

Looking at Hongying, who has become more and more disrespectful to her recently, Liu Jianlan sighed in her heart, after all, Hongying is not loyal to her but to the imperial concubine.This method is of great benefit to the noble concubine, Xue Guifei is willing to help her enter the Hou's mansion, just to make her disturb Feng Qi's brother's back house.But she has been in the mansion for half a year, not to mention win over Brother Feng Qi's heart, she can't even get close to him, she might have become an outcast in Concubine Xue's heart.But if the abandoned son can be used again, it will be good for Concubine Xue Gui. If she is really moved by Hongying and harms Chen Yinniang's child, among other things, at least she can disgust and respect the concubine.Even if there is no harm, and she loses an abandoned child, she has nothing to lose.

Liu Jianyan finished writing the last stroke of the word "Qi" steadily, and then said: "Madam surrounded the main house like an iron bucket, I have no chance to do anything."

Liu Jianyao looked in the direction of the main room. Even in the Xikua courtyard, she could still feel the joyous atmosphere emanating from the main room. At this moment, Brother Feng Qi must still be by Chen's side, thinking about her new fatherhood. And rejoice!Although she doesn't like the Chen family, that child belongs to brother Feng Qi, even if she can't love the house and the black, she will definitely not hurt his child.

We should think of a way to send Hongying away, in case she avoids her and does something, it's okay to hurt Chen Yiniang, but if she hurts brother Fengqi and his children, she will regret it too late.

Lin Fengqi slept in the delivery room that night, it was too late to tease his son last night, Yin Niang pushed him back to sleep, but he thought of the empty bed in the main room, not a bit popular, how could it compare to having a wife and a son here , So he just spent the night on the couch next to him.

When it was just dawn, Lin Fengqi was awakened by his son's cry of "wow". He jumped up from the couch and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the child?"

Yin Niang sat up, picked up her crying son who was lying beside her, and gently shook her.The wet nurse trotted in from the small room separated by the screen, and said to Yin Niang: "Ma'am, the young master is hungry, let the servants feed the young master!"

Lin Fengqi sat on the side of the bed, looked at his son who was squinting his eyes and crying loudly, touched his forehead, and said softly: "It turns out that my brother is hungry, stop crying, stop crying, there will be more soon." Gotta eat."

The nanny went forward to bring the child over, but Yinniang thought of something, raised her head and said to the nanny: "You have nothing to do here, you go down first!"

Lin Fengqi thought that Yinniang really wanted to breastfeed the child by herself, so she couldn't help but put on a straight face and said, "Nonsense!"

The nanny also stood there without moving. The child is used to drinking alone's milk, and it is easy to become dependent.When she entered the mansion, she thought that she would be able to follow her eldest brother as her milk in the future. If she couldn't feed the young master, her relationship with the young master would be weakened in the future.

Lin Fengqi reached out to take the child away, and was about to hand it to the nanny, but Yinniang squinted her lips, pulled her husband's clothes, and looked at him pitifully.

Lin Fengqi couldn't stand Yinniang's expression the most on weekdays, but this time he stood his ground and said, "No, big families don't have such rules, and outsiders will know about it, and they will laugh at our family."

"Mother Du said that breast milk is good for children, and it's not like I don't have milk." Mother Du was the nanny who suggested that Yinniang breastfeed herself.Yin Niang said again: "Besides, if you don't tell me, I won't tell you, and the nanny and maids are not allowed to tell, who would know."

"No, no, no."

Yinniang's eyes turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "You don't love your son, it's obviously a good thing for him, but you refuse to do it because of the rules!"

"Who said I don't love my son, this is my first son."

"Then let me feed you!"

After all, Lin Fengqi didn't hold back Yinniang, and seeing his son crying so pitifully, he reluctantly agreed.

Yin Niang smiled and let the nanny go down, then untied her clothes, hugged her son back into her arms, and stuffed the milk into his mouth.

Lin Fengqi looked at the half-covered skin under the clothes, it was white and plump, like delicious cheese.Lin Fengqi only felt some blood surge up, so he couldn't help but stand up and look away.

The child stopped crying with his breast in his mouth, but after a while, he spat out his breast again and began to cry.Lin Fengqi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Niang pinched the place where the milk came out with her hands, and saw that there was no milk coming out at all.Lin Fengqi said: "Do you have no milk, let the nanny feed you?"

Yin Niang said: "Yes, my mother told me I have it. It's just that it seems to be clogged inside, my brother is weak, so I can't suck it out."

Lin Fengqi thought for a while, sat down on the side of the bed again, and said calmly: "Pull your clothes back a bit."

"Ah?" Yin Niang raised her head to look at her husband, seeing him staring at her chest, her face suddenly turned red.Seeing Lin Fengqi's serious expression, he forced himself to say "Oh!" naturally.

Yin Niang pulled the clothes away, Lin Fengqi's eyes were red, she moved her face close to her mouth, sucked it vigorously, after a while, the liquid sprayed out, and a sweet taste came out of her mouth, which was not the same as that of sheep. Tastes like cow's milk, but tastes better than them.He swallowed the milk in his mouth, and then sucked another one, until both sides sucked out, he reluctantly moved his mouth away.

Yin Niang blushed, and held the baby again to nurse.This time the child didn't spit out the milk again, but started to drink it.

After the child was full, Yin Niang pulled up the clothes.Lin Fengqi shook the child's limp little hand, and said to Yinniang: "My son is from the generation of 'Hong'. How about we name him 'Hongyi'?"

"Hongyi?"

Lin Fengqi nodded and said: "He is our eldest son, and there will definitely be many younger brothers and sisters under him. I hope he can grow up strong and resolute, so that he can protect his younger brothers and sisters well."
