Yu Tang felt that what the second wife said made sense. She said: "According to the days, the eldest wife should have received the letter from the eldest son, knowing that the eldest mistress is pregnant, right?"
The second wife looked around and saw that there was no servant girl in the room, so she said to Yu Tang in a low voice: "Didn't the eldest wife always want to come to the capital? What if she took advantage of this incident to come to the capital... Didn't I recite it?" Some people say bad things about her. She is very well-behaved, I'm afraid she'll find fault, but for the eldest and young mistress, we should be careful."
At some point, the second wife followed Yu Tang and started calling Pei Tong's mother "Big Wife".
"I listen to the second sister-in-law!" Yu Tang said immediately after hearing the words, "After all, I don't understand the eldest wife like you."
The second wife breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm afraid you think I'm scaremongering." She didn't listen to her words. Now Yu Tang said that she followed her lead everywhere, and she felt that everyone was lighthearted, "Then let's settle Adan's marriage quickly, so that she won't point fingers and say some unpleasant things when she comes. Let the in-laws watch the joke."
After making the small order, the dowry will be decided, and after that, the wedding date will be discussed, and there are still many things to be busy. If the eldest wife really uses this excuse to come to the capital, she really cannot be avoided.
Yu Tang hurriedly said: "Then let's quickly help the young mistress invite a stable woman to come to the house. You see, if there is anything else that needs to be prepared in advance, we are all ready. Even if the eldest wife comes, if you want to find fault, We just let her find no faults."
"Three cobblers are the best Zhuge Liang." The second wife nodded repeatedly, "We remind each other that the chance of making mistakes is definitely smaller than that of one person."
Yu Tang thinks it makes sense.
The two called Qing Yuan and Jin Nanny over, wrote a long list in Yu Tang's study, and asked Qing Yuan and Jin Nanny to read it to other people afterwards to see if there was anything missing. Don't talk about Wen Po, even the nanny is going to send someone to prepare one first.
When Gu Xi found out, Mrs. Wen had already invited her into the mansion.
Her nurse lost weight because of this, and she was so anxious that she was spinning around in her room, and she even talked a little incoherently: "Miss, what do you think about this? Or, just say that you are not feeling well today. She will take a rest for two days, and she will come to say hello to you after my duty schedule is arranged?"
Gu Xi was much calmer than her nanny, and said: "No need! Since the two aunts praised her so much and accompanied her here, I would be disrespectful to the two aunts by saying this. Don't worry, drink up." Sip some tea, calm down, and come with me to meet the two aunts first."
Her nanny had no better idea, and she had already said a lot about her complaints before, and no more words could change the current situation, so she simply put her heart together, tidied up, and followed Gu Xi to welcome Yu Tang and the second wife.
This steady lady was introduced by Xu Xuan.
Now that she is a mother, her heart suddenly softens. Whenever she hears that the children of other families lack this or that, she feels distressed. This time, the steady woman is the one who helped her deliver the baby. The monthly rate for a month is ten taels of silver, and Xu Xuan added two sets of clothes. After the child landed safely, the other rewards will not be counted.
The second wife decided to hire someone according to the salary Xu Xuan gave.
The Wen Po herself was respectful in front of Yu Tang and the second wife, but when she saw Gu Xi, she was so enthusiastic, not to mention Gu Xi, even Yu Tang felt a little overwhelmed when she saw it.
It was the second wife who gave the old lady Wen a hand and said something similar to "I will leave the eldest and youngest mistress of our family to you in the future", which made the old lady calm down. But just like that, when the steady lady said that she knew some simple medical principles, Gu Xi still couldn't help her expression change slightly.
The second wife didn't notice, she was still there and said happily: "I also invited a cook for you, you can see if her cooking suits your appetite. If you like it, you can stay, if you don't like it, you can change it to another one." people."
Gu Xi hurriedly calmed down and thanked the second wife with a smile.
The second wife waved her hand and said: "I think that's how the family took care of Mrs. Yin when she was pregnant, so let's do the same." Then she asked her, "Did your mother-in-law reply to you? Did she respond?" What plan?"
Gu Xi smiled and said: "We haven't received a reply from my mother-in-law. You and my third aunt take care of me like this. I'm going to write an envelope to my mother-in-law later, so as not to worry about her."
She never wrote to the eldest lady at all.
Let's not talk about whether this child is "safe or not", just like her mother-in-law's partiality, if she comes to the capital, the affairs of the Pei family and the Yang family will definitely become more complicated.
How good it is now, the Pei family decided to pick out the second and third masters of the Yang family for the sake of marriage, which can be regarded as breaking the grievances between the two families, and the young couple don't have to be caught in the middle, what a wonderful thing!
Let's wait until this "child" is gone!
"You two aunts have worked hard." Gu Xi personally poured a cup of tea for the second wife and Yu Tang.
Yu Tang always listened to the second wife on such occasions, and never made decisions beyond the second wife. The second wife also thinks that Yu Tang is still young, she should take care of Yu Tang, and she is willing to stand in front of Yu Tang if there is anything. She laughed and said, "Reassure your mother-in-law. Although I have never taken care of a pregnant junior, I can learn from other people's family."
Gu Xi thanked her repeatedly, and asked about Miss Wu's marriage: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No, no." The second wife smiled, "You just need to take care of yourself. On that day, just sit and watch the fun dressed up nicely."
Gu Xi responded with a smile, and talked with the second wife for a long time, the second wife and Yu Tangfang got up and left.
In the evening, Yu Tang said to Pei Yan: "I have done everything I can think of. I plan to go there with my second sister-in-law tomorrow. It will be fine to send the bird's nest and ginseng bought by the entrusting person. You can start helping with all your heart and soul." The second sister-in-law is preparing for the matter of Ah Dan Xiaoding."
Pei Yan listened and thought for a while, and said, "Did Gastrodia elata be put in the bowl of black-bone chicken soup I drank today?"
Yu Tang laughed in surprise: "You can drink all of this?"
Because he went out with the second wife to buy some medicinal herbs for Gu Xi's body, Yu Tang also bought some for the family.
Pei Yan laughed and said, "Black-bone Chicken Gastrodia Ma Soup is for autumn and winter, right?"
Yu Tang blushed, and said: "I was going to cook you a Gastrodia elata old duck soup. For some reason, I wrote it as Gastrodia elata black chicken soup and handed it to the woman on the stove. It must be a mistake! I will give it to you tomorrow." Make some other soup."
Pei Yan felt that Yu Tang didn't have much talent in cooking, and the soup at home was just the same. However, he was not a picky person, and it was okay to drink. There is nothing to be picky about.
He said: "It's okay! You can also ask them to make some scallop soup, which is also very good in summer."
Yu Tang giggled, and decided that such matters should be handed over to Qing Yuan in the future. She just wrote the menu for a few days, and already felt that she didn't know what to eat.
The two whispered homely things, and discussed whether to move to Shuixie for a few days as the weather got hotter and hotter, but when they got up early the next morning, they heard that Gu Xi had a "miscarriage".
Yu Tang sat by the bed and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
She didn't know if Gu Xi really had a miscarriage, or if it was just a round.
But no matter what the reason, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Pei Yan was still indifferent as always, and said: "You should go and have a look. Really, that means she has no fate with our family. False, I hope she is smart enough so that no one else can see it. Otherwise, she will really be in the capital. joke."
Yu Tang knows that Pei Yan leaves a little room for everything, and likes to think of things as bad as possible, so that he can handle things with ease when it is critical.
She sighed sadly, and went to visit Gu Xi with the second wife.
On a hot day, Gu Xi was wearing a forehead kerchief, leaning against the head of the bed with a pale face, while Pei Tong was feeding her medicine herself, while her wet nurse was standing beside her with a small bowl of candied plums with a dull expression.
"Second Aunt, Third Aunt!" Pei Tong stood up and saluted the Second Wife and Yu Tang, asking them to sit down.
"How did it become like this?" The second wife looked distressed, and felt that it was not easy to explain to the eldest wife and the old An. I counted her birthday according to her horoscope, and it doesn't conflict with our family!"
Gu Xi hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with her! It's because I took a shower last night and didn't care..." As he spoke, his eyes were wet.
The second wife couldn't bear to ask any more, shook her hand, and persuaded her gently: "It's okay, it's okay. This is all an accident. You are still young, and you will have another child soon."
Gu Xi shook her head and said: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have said it so early. It made the elders happy for nothing."
The second wife did not answer this question.
It is said that Gu Xi is too young and ignorant, not to mention that the second wife, an elder, lives under the same roof as her, and Pei Xuan also told the second wife to take good care of Gu Xi. She said that Gu Xi did something wrong, but wasn't she trying to force Pei Tong to side with Pei's family
The second wife smiled bitterly.
Yu Tang had no choice but to say: "This is something that no one has thought of. Don't blame yourself too much. Let's take care of your body first." Then she asked Gu Xi's wet nurse, "Which doctor did you invite to see it? What prescription? Did you say anything to pay attention to? How long does it take to change the medicine?"
"What?!" Gu Xi's nurse came back to her senses after a long while, lowered her head and said, "Because of the sudden incident, I went to Dr. Xiong at the entrance of the alley, and he also prescribed the medicine. I am in a hurry to get the medicine for the young lady. , didn’t read the prescription carefully, and handed it to the pharmacy clerk directly. It was said that the medicine would be changed every five days, and it would be cured in half a month.”
Yu Tang felt that it was better to be cautious about this kind of thing, so he discussed with Pei Tong: "Should I invite an imperial doctor to come and have a look? Are you afraid of getting hurt?"
Pei Tong also had the same intention.
However, there are too many officials in the capital, and not every official doctor is willing to buy it, and he is going to ask Pei Xuan for help!
Before he could speak, the second wife had already agreed for him: "I'll ask someone to give Pei Wu a name card of your second uncle, and ask him to help you find an imperial doctor who is good at gynecology. Pei Wu followed the third uncle Running around, having vision, and being able to do things, it would be best for him to come forward."
Pei Tong thanked him respectfully, but Gu Xi said: "Don't bother. The second uncle is a servant in the household department, and he is in charge of Yan Yin's review. I don't know how many people are watching! Don't get involved with me because of my affairs." uncle."
