Madam Hou

Chapter 156

On May [-]th, Yinniang took Brother Yi to Mrs. Lin's courtyard early in the morning, and went to Yangjiaoer Hutong with Lin Fengqi.

Yinniang went to the inner courtyard to see Pingniang, while Lin Fengqi went to the outer courtyard.

Pingniang was in her room, she had already put on her bright red wedding dress, when she saw Yinniang coming in, she quickly took her hand, and said in a panic: "Second sister, second sister, I'm so nervous now, I, I don't want to Married!"

Yin Niang squeezed her hand and said: "Nonsense, no matter which girl is going to marry, why are you so nervous?"

"But... I'm scared!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"What if I can't be a good wife? I heard that the Ying family has strict rules, so I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Also... what if he doesn't like me?" This "he" Yinniang naturally knows referring to whom.

Yin Niang said: "It's good to have rules, I'm afraid that you will marry someone who has no rules. The Ying family is a kind family, and Mrs. Ying is heard to be a charitable person. You are not married to the eldest son, so you don't have to take care of the family affairs. Zhongfei, as long as you do your duty according to their rules, and win over your husband well, you will not have a bad life. Besides, your marriage was facilitated by the empress, as long as you live up to the rules, even if you make a small mistake Wrong, they won't make it too difficult for you."

"But I'm still afraid!"

"I have to marry even if I'm afraid, women always have to go this time." Then he hugged Ping Niang again, and continued: "The only thing Mother can do is to choose a good family for you, and the rest of the day will depend on you. You yourself. Pingniang has been smart and beautiful since she was a child, the eighth young master will like you, and my sister also believes that you can live a good life."

In fact, Yinniang can understand Pingniang's panic. When a woman goes to a new place, she wants to get along with people who have never been with people before. She doesn't know whether they will accept her, whether her husband will like her, All of this was unknown to her.What people are most afraid of facing is not the difficulties that have already come, but the confusion that is unknown before.Even when Yinniang got married, she lived in the Hou Mansion for nearly two years before getting married, and she was still in panic before getting married.

No matter how panicked and frightened Pingniang expressed herself, when the firecrackers sounded and the servants outside shouted, "Enter the sedan chair," Pingniang still put on her hijab, bid farewell to her parents, and was carried onto the sedan chair.

Mr. Chen had a broken leg and could only stay in bed. Pingniang first went to Mr. Chen's room to kowtow three times to him, and then went to the middle hall to say goodbye to Mrs. Chen.Yinniang and Pingniang's only brother, Gengeer, was only three years old, so naturally he couldn't carry it on his back. In the end, Pingniang was carried out by his newly adopted cousin, Young Master Lu.

When Pingniang was carried away by Young Master Lu, Mrs. Chen grabbed Yinniang's hand from behind and cried: "I don't feel anything at all, but when I saw your sisters getting married, I even looked for someone who could carry you out." If you don't, I don't feel good about it. It's all my fault for not giving birth to a brother for you!"

Yin Niang comforted: "How can you blame your mother, there is nothing wrong with having daughters, don't you see that people now envy you for having three good daughters?"

Mrs. Chen wiped away her tears and said: "They don't feel pain in their backs when they stand and talk, if they really want to replace all their sons with daughters, let's see if they like it or not!"

Yin Niang: "..."

Mrs. Chen said again: "I don't have anything else, I just feel that I didn't give you a brother to support you, and I feel that you have been wronged!"

Yin Niang could only sigh helplessly, then hugged her mother and patted her on the back lightly.

In the afternoon, Yin Niang and Lin Fengqi went back to Hou Mansion together.When I went to Fushouyuan to pick up Brother Yi, I heard Brother Yi's loud cry from a distance. Yinniang thought something happened, and felt distressed, so she hurriedly rushed into the Fushouyuan, walking into the house while walking. Ask: "What's wrong, Brother Yi?"

Mrs. Lin was walking around the room with Brother Yi in her arms, and there were five nannies of Brother Yi standing side by side, all of whom lowered their heads a little uneasy.Mrs. Lin Tai came in, turned her head and said anxiously: "It's just in time for you to come back. Let me ask you, which nanny's milk do you usually feed brother Yi? Brother Yi hasn't had milk since morning. He didn't want to drink the milk of the five nannies, so he asked the imperial doctor to see it, and the imperial doctor said that Brother Yi was not used to drinking their milk."

Yinniang felt a "thump" in her heart. When Brother Yi was born, Yinniang didn't have enough milk. She and the nanny took turns feeding Yige. But later, she drank pig's trotter soup by herself, and the milk was enough. After I gave birth, I didn't let the nanny feed me anymore. Brother Yi has been drinking her milk for half a month.When she carried Brother Yi to Mrs. Lin Tai in the morning, she let the nanny go with her, but she didn't expect that Brother Yi couldn't get used to the nanny's milk now.

Yin Niang looked at the nanny standing next to her, knowing that they hadn't betrayed her in front of Mrs. Lin Tai, so she rolled her eyes a little guilty, and changed the subject: "Mother, let me take Brother Yi back to nurse her first." !"

Mrs. Lin Tai was dissatisfied and said: "Why don't you go back, I didn't see the child was so hungry that he was crying, you go and find the nanny who usually nurses Brother Yi, and ask her to come and breastfeed Brother Yi!"

Lin Fengqi took Yiniang a few steps behind, came in from the outside, and said to Mrs. Lin: "Mother, Brother Yi usually drinks milk from these nannies, he may have suddenly changed his environment and is not used to breastfeeding here. Let us go back with him in our arms, and let the wet nurse follow him, and return to Tangrong Courtyard to nurse him again."

Mrs. Lin looked at her son with some doubts. It was only the child who picked the nanny. She had never heard of the child picking the environment.But looking at her grandson who was crying all the time, Mrs. Lin was also very distressed. In the end, she could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and said to her son and daughter-in-law: "Then hurry up, walk faster on the road, brother Ruoyi drink I'm breastfeeding, let a maid come and tell me."

Yinniang and Lin Fengqi quickly answered yes, then hugged Brother Yi and hurried back to Tangrong Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the gate of Tangrong Courtyard, Yinniang hurriedly carried Brother Yi into the inner room, sat on the couch and took off her clothes, revealing her swollen breasts.Brother Yi was probably starving, so before Yinniang came to help his head, he swallowed it in one gulp, and then sucked the milk.

Lin Fengqi came in from the outside, saw his son gobbling it up, swallowed secretly, and then averted his eyes.

When Brother Yi finished drinking one side, Yin Niang supported his head and turned around, letting him drink the other side.When brother Yi was full, Yinniang pulled the clothes casually, thinking that brother Yi had been starving for a day because he didn't want to drink the nanny's milk, she couldn't help but hugged him and kissed his face, both touched and distressed He said: "Brother Yi, does he only want a mother?"

Brother Yi grinned as if responding, and then hiccupped.

Lin Fengqi called the nanny in, and said, "You carry the baby to Nuan Pavilion, and help the baby follow the milk?"

The Hou Mansion is at the cusp these days, Yinniang is afraid that people will ask Mrs. Da Tai about your family separation when she goes out for a walk, so she doesn't go out very much on weekdays. Hutong, and also sent Patriarch Lu and Uncle Lu's family to see them off when they returned to Linping County.

Yinniang gave Uncle Lu 100 taels of silver and some paper and ink for the ceremony; Mrs. Chen gave 100 taels of silver, in addition to the land deed of 100 acres of fertile land and the deed of the Lu family's ancestral house, which was sold by Master Lu's family earlier. Later, Mrs. Chen asked someone to redeem it; Pingniang also gave [-] taels of silver and an inkstone, and Yanniang also gave some things from the palace.Uncle Lu's family seemed to be honest people. When they received Yanniang's reward, they felt anxious for a long time. They didn't even dare to touch the rewarded object for fear of breaking it.Mrs. Chen persuaded for a long time afterwards, and then Uncle Lu led his wife and son to kowtow three times in the direction of the palace, before he dared to take the things.

Yan Niang gave some silk and satin fabrics and gold, silver and jade articles, these things are easy to carry, and you are not afraid that they will be damaged when you are on the road.The most precious of them was a jade bowl made of emerald jade. When Aunt Lu saw it, she even said that she would put it on the case for confession after returning home.

Mrs. Chen laughed at her: "This is not Maitreya Buddha. What are you offering it for? Are you not afraid that others will steal it?"

Aunt Lu was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak immediately, and after a while, she asked cautiously: "Then I should put it on the bedside?" She probably thought that Mrs. Chen was really afraid that it would be stolen, It will be safe if it is placed on the bedside.

Now it was Mrs. Chen's turn to be speechless, and finally she could only say: "You can make a confession if you like."

In addition, Patriarch Lu has worked so hard to come to the capital, so Mrs. Chen naturally has to express something.In addition to packing a cart with some specialties of the capital for him to take back, he was also given 200 taels of banknotes, stating that 1000 taels of them were for running schools in the clan, and 200 taels were for his round-trip "traffic." fee".

Mrs. Lin finally found out about Yinniang breastfeeding Brother Yi. Mrs. Lin called Yinniang over and reprimanded her. After a series of harms, Yanniang was strictly ordered not to breastfeed Brother Yi in the future, and Yuan Momo was sent to supervise personally.
