After August, everyone in Mingpei Hall was busy preparing to return to the imperial capital.
Huang was particularly worried: He was pregnant, but she and Jiang Zheng's daughter Jiang Heyue were only two months old, so they couldn't bear the bumps; Wei Changying was seven months pregnant, and the fetus was stable. But no one dared to risk her even though they were thousands of miles away.
Therefore, Mrs. Huang tossed the two carriages again and again, and almost invited all the craftsmen from Hefu, for fear of tiring people on the road. Even so, Mrs. Huang still couldn't rest assured, and took advantage of the time when no one was around to discuss with Wei Zhangying: "Young madam, why don't you persuade the young master to delay his return for a while? When he left the capital, didn't the madam tell him that the three-year period is over? When it is over, the young master will not necessarily go back immediately? Calculating the days, when the three years are over next month, the young lady will be eight months old and will give birth before the end of the year. She will just have spring after the new year. Wouldn’t it be nice to go back with the young master and the fourth grandson?”
With Ji Qubing and Huang around, Wei Changying found out not long after he returned to Xiliang City from Diecuiguan at the beginning of the year that he was also pregnant with a boy. In fact, Shen Zangfeng and she already have their eldest son. It is human nature to want both children, so secretly, she hopes to have a daughter this time.
However, since God gave a male fetus, the two of them also looked forward to it. However, people like the Huang family believe that the Shen family now has fewer male grandsons and more female grandsons. If Chief Wei Ying has a second son, he will be one of the daughters-in-law of the Shen family, which will greatly help the status of the third wife. And because of the bitter cold in Xiliang, many things were not arranged properly, so I became more and more concerned.
"My mother said that at that time because she was worried that the situation would be unfavorable to the Shen family, and she was afraid that the Holy One would suppress her." Wei Changying shook his head and said, "But now there are civil unrest in Youyan and other places, and the imperial court is extremely busy. Where can the Holy One still have the power to suppress the Shen family?" Are you worried about us? Returning to Beijing at this time is not only promised by the Holy Father three years ago, but now in order to quell the civil unrest in the country, he will certainly not hesitate to reward him; and he can also take advantage of the fact that both the Holy King and the court are paying attention to the civil unrest to avoid many temptations. Kungfu. If you miss this moment, something might happen! Do you think that with civil unrest happening all over the country, putting an end to the chaos is the top priority, so how can you not go back?"
He also said, "Even if my husband can delay his return for a few days, it is only seven months now. If the child is born at full term, the child will not be born until November. I still have to confinement. After confinement, I will be like Aunt He." Now that He Yue is two months old, my aunt is still worried about taking her on the road? "
Mrs. Huang sighed and said, "Let's see, the young master will go back in September, and the young lady, you and Sister He's family will go back in the spring of next year, okay?"
She persuaded, "Young Madam, Sister He and He Yue are all in excellent health. Young Madam, your current fetal image is also very stable, but the more it is like this, the less you can ignore it - after all, they are all thousands of miles apart, so-called Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Even if Divine Doctor Ji is with you, how can you stay in Xiliang City safely on the way? "
In fact, Wei Changying himself was very worried about returning to Beijing with his husband while still pregnant. When she was pregnant with Shen Shuguang, it was not because of her carelessness that she asked Ji Qubing to help with the pregnancy, and she also lay on the bed for several months to avoid miscarriage. For this reason, she felt uneasy until she gave birth. She almost followed Ji Qubing's words as a golden rule to keep her peace of mind.
Now I am pregnant for the second time, and I have been raising her carefully since I returned to Xiliang. I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will harm myself and the child.
At this moment, Huang suggested that she give birth in Xiliang and wait for the child to grow for a few months before leaving. Although she was a little disappointed that she could not return to Beijing with her husband so that she could see her eldest son after two years of separation as soon as possible, after careful consideration, she decided Sighing: "What Auntie said makes sense. I'll go back and tell my husband... Let Auntie He and his family come with me. Heyue is too young."
Mrs. Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said a few more words to her. Then she decided that it was time to go to Mr. He's place and take her leave.
After leaving the door, we arrived at the courtyard where Mr. He lived. Before we entered, we heard Jiang Zheng's voice inside, proudly showing off to others: "...my daughter, her eyebrows, her skin, are what made her cry. "Sounds like, which one of these little girls in the yard can be as good as me? When they grow up, they will be extremely talented!"
Someone laughed and joked: "We all know that Sister-in-law He is a beauty, and your daughter is not bad. I happen to have a boy at home, who is also pretty good. Why not marry them? How about we become an in-law?"
"That can't be done! That boy of yours is running around all day long, following a group of brats who are acting recklessly. If this continues, when my daughter gets married, she won't be able to see her husband all day long, and will have to run the household alone. Plan?" Jiang Zheng flatly refused, "No way!"
Everyone laughed: "Don't all boys at this age like to play around? After enlightenment, they will naturally be restrained from studying. Brother Chen's son is only four years old now. If he likes to run around, that's fine... "
While he was talking, he saw Mr. Huang coming in. He stopped talking and came over to say hello: "Aunt Huang is here?"
Mrs. Huang greeted them with a smile and looked around. They were all guards and stewards of Mingpei Hall. They set up tables and chairs under a thick locust tree in the yard, heated the wine, and placed a few dishes of side dishes. Enjoy and enjoy.
These people all knew about the relationship between Mr. Huang and Mr. He, and knew that she must have come here to visit Mr. He, so after greeting her, they were wise enough not to leave her talking. Jiang Zheng said: "Did the Huang family's sister come to see He Yue? Her mother is watching her in the house now!"
"I just have some free time, come and take a look." Mrs. Huang smiled and entered the room. After a screen, Wei Changying pressed his hand under the north window of the glazed window. Mrs. He, who was a little fatter than before she was pregnant, was standing next to her. While doing needlework, I looked at Jiang Heyue in the cradle, humming a little tune in a low voice, with a face full of satisfaction and joy.
Mrs. Huang raised the curtain and went in. Mr. He didn't notice it at first. Mrs. Huang chuckled and said, "Sister He, why are you here alone? Where is the calyx?"
Calyx was the maid sent by Wei Changying to help He and his wife after He gave birth.
He made a sound, stopped singing, put the needle and thread aside, stood up to greet her, and whispered: "She had something to do at home, so I just went back with her. Anyway, now that I'm up, I don't really have anything to do with her. A place for help.”
Mrs. Huang knew that Mr. He was used to managing the maids, and was not the kind of bad person who would speak for her when she was neglected by Hua Calyx. So after receiving this answer, he didn't ask any more questions, and just smiled lightly and said, "Jiang Weiwei is showing off the lotus moon to others outside. He said that others are so tempted that they want to marry you."
"The one who killed a thousand swords! How dare he!" Hearing this, Mrs. He immediately stared and cursed, "How old is He Yue? Find her husband's family, just in case the boy from that family doesn't grow up in the future, or grows up. It’s too big to look good, it’s going to hurt Heyue! It’s so hard to get rid of it after three days! My daughter is still eager to marry her before she’s grown up!”
He rolled up his sleeves and went out to teach Jiang Zheng a lesson.
Madam Huang quickly grabbed her and said, dumbfounded: "Weiwei Jiang didn't even agree! You have such a temper!"
"That's more like it!" Hearing that Jiang Zheng didn't agree, He was relieved and hummed, "If he dares to agree, I won't break his legs when he comes back!"
"After all, Guard Jiang is the young lady's disciple, and now he is also your husband. It is not a good thing that you always bully him and make him lose face outside!" Huang persuaded her with a wry smile, "Look at your brother-in-law, listen to everything. Mine, but outside, I relied on him in everything and gave him enough face. When I got home, he would laugh and listen - if I wanted to teach you a lesson, I'd better close the door tightly, otherwise, I'd tell him! Guard Jiang is cowardly and henpecked, and you are fierce and fierce. Neither of them has a good reputation! When He Yue grows up, it will be shameless to play with his companions. "
He groaned and said, "Now I only beat him in the yard."
"You, please change your temper as soon as possible! Do you think Zhu Lei is still in the Imperial Capital now? When we go back, if he knows that you bully his master like this, Guard Jiang may not even look at him as a disciple." Are you up?" Huang shook his head.
He curled his lips and said: "If that boy dares to be so ungrateful and bully his master and destroy his ancestors, even I, the master wife, will not be able to spare him!"
However, she always listened to Mr. Huang's words. Even after speaking harshly, she softened her tone and said, "I'll remember it next time."
Huang knew that Jiang Zheng could change his nature easily, and he didn't expect that He would remember to show respect to Jiang Zheng in the future, so he stopped talking about it and said, "I just talked about what you were worried about last time." I have already told the young madam, and the young madam promised to discuss it with the young master when he returns today. "
"Really?" He was delighted and whispered, "Then we...?"
"The young lady will return to the imperial capital later, so you will naturally follow her." Huang said with a smile, "Now you and Guard Jiang don't have to worry about the problems on the road. By the beginning of next spring, the moon will be eight months old. Miss Wusun was not even a week old when she was brought to Xiliang, wasn't she fine? What's more, He Yue was much stronger than Miss Wusun back then. "
Mr. He was relieved about his own flesh and blood and then worried about Wei Changying's second son: "What about the fourth grandson?"
"Anyway, Young Madam has to go back later. It's a few months late. It doesn't matter if it's later. Madam loves the young masters so much, so she won't be wrong," said Huang.
... In fact, although she had settled the matter and came to tell He, it was not He who initially suggested that Wei Chief Yingwan return to the imperial capital, but Jiang Zheng. Jiang Zheng mentioned this, naturally because he felt sorry for his wife and daughter. He gave birth to Jiang Heyue in June and her confinement in July. Although she was able to work in the fields, she had to travel long distances in September, even in a carriage, but it was still hard.
Coupled with Jiang Heyue, who was only three months old in September, Jiang Zheng had been alone for most of his life, and only got married after his apprentice Zhu Lei made some random calculations. After finally getting a daughter, he naturally loves her very much and is not willing to let his wife and daughter endure hardships and risks. So he went to discuss with Mr. Huang, hoping that Mr. Huang could find a way to Wei Changying and let his family return to Beijing slowly. After saying this, he was thinking about how to pack up the two carriages in a safe way. Huang felt that it would be better to simply let Wei Changying stay in Xiliang for a while.
After Mr. Huang finished his work, he came over to say something.
Mr. He nodded and said: "The master and his wife have a son and a grandson. Among the three people who are married now, we are the only ones who have two sons. When we return to Beijing this time, the master and his wife may not be able to keep their mouths shut."
"This is a good thing, but I'm afraid the eldest brother and the second brother will get jealous again." Huang said with a smile, "I'll still be troubled when I get back to Beijing."
"No matter how jealous the eldest and second young masters are, why are the eldest and second young masters not as capable as our young master?" Mr. He disagreed and said, "If the eldest young lady and the second young lady can't think of it, our third young master is not someone to be trifled with. "
The He family has always been aggressive, and when the eldest and second eldest brothers were trying to cause trouble, she not only did not get upset, but she even wanted to take advantage of the fact that Shen Zangfeng was the confirmed next lord of the clan, and that the third eldest son had a second grandson and a prospective fourth son. Anyone who dares to provoke Young Master Sun is asking for trouble!
Although Huang was not as eager to fight as He showed, he was not afraid of provocation and said with a smile: "I just want to remind you that we have had a leisurely life here in Xiliang for a year. When we go back Afterwards, there will be no such leisure time.”
"Sister Huang, don't worry. After I get back, I will hire a wet nurse for He Yue. I will still go to the young lady to serve her. I will make sure everything is done right." He promised. (To be continued)
