What Xiao Dou said seemed to be a joke, but it was very heartbreaking.
To give birth to a baby within a year, that is to say, the pregnancy news must come out within a few months of the birth - who can say for sure about this kind of thing
Even if she is pregnant, what if it is a daughter
She obviously did this to cause trouble for Qiu Yilan: I'm talking about children with you before the marriage is consummated. If you are really a sixteen-year-old bride here, how can you not be scared
"Want to give me some power?" Qiu Yilan snorted coldly in her heart, slightly hooking up the corners of her mouth, revealing a soft and timid smile: "How can I dare to take what this sister-in-law says? No matter I am still nineteen, I am still young. How can God allow God to send rain specially for us?"
"Then you are saying that the fourteenth sister-in-law is telling nonsense?" Little Dou's eyes flashed, and she looked at He Shuijin with a half-smile, "These words will hurt your fourteenth sister-in-law's heart, and they will also hurt the second sister-in-law. My uncle’s heart is broken…”
I knew you would say that!
The smile on Qiu Yilan's lips deepened, and she said slowly: "I haven't finished what I just said: don't your sisters-in-law feel that the rain today is because God is blessing the Jiang family, and Shijiu and I are just enjoying the family's blessings?" ?”
"That's what the Nineteenth Brother and Sister said!" He Shuijin didn't expect that he had just smoothed things over for Mrs. Tao before, but the eldest brother actually dragged her out to stir up trouble during the wedding ceremony - and he didn't expect that there was no one in the flower hall just now. There are only female relatives of the Jiang family, and there are also many in-laws. Although they can all be counted as one of our own, how can it be possible that there are so many relatives and there are not a few big-mouthed ones
On the grandson's wedding day of the Jiang family, the niece's daughter-in-law openly disgraced the Queen's mother... Even if it's not the time of competition for the heirloom, wouldn't it be nice to spread the word? !
Not to mention that He Shuijin had a special status among the Jiang family's wives. She took charge of the general ledger of Qin Guogong's family before she was married. Although she did not despise the other sisters-in-law because of this, she really had no sense of awe for the sister-in-law of Little Dou! He didn't show it at the meeting, but he was furious in his heart. When he saw the opportunity, he immediately took over the conversation, "Spreading branches and leaves is not the blood of the Jiang family. In the end, it is the blessing of our Jiang family! For example, sister-in-law, after you passed away, "Xu'er was born in the first year. Isn't it the blessing of our ancestors?"
Qiu Yilan glanced sideways at Little Dou, thinking that it was no wonder that she brought her son who had been born for many years to the general when she came up. She herself gave birth to a son as soon as she came in. Because she didn't know little Dou, she just came in today. It's not convenient to act aggressively, just use words to deflect the blame from Xiao Dou.
But He Shuijin has no such scruples: "But sister-in-law, besides Xu'er, you have only given birth to two daughters. Now the children Zhi'er, Hao'er, and Yi'er under my eldest brother's knees are not all born to you, sister-in-law. Could it be that Do you think those concubines have more blessings than your sister-in-law? This shows that the issue of offspring has nothing to do with our own blessings as wives, it is all the luck of the Jiang family!"
She looked at Little Dou's face that suddenly darkened and smiled brightly, "Really?"
"We were so busy joking that we forgot to introduce our servant to the nineteenth brother and sister." Seeing that the atmosphere in the wedding room suddenly became stiff, little Mrs. Tao sighed inwardly and hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "The nineteenth brother and sister should call me sister-in-law or 'this sister-in-law'." 'Here! Come, let me tell my brothers and sisters about the sisters-in-law and nieces here..."
Not many of the Jiang family's daughters-in-law were here. After all, although Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Ou were taking the lead on the female guests' side, and the third and sixth wives were also there, there were always a few young daughters-in-law to run errands and send messages.
Xiao Tao introduced everyone present in terms of age and age. Apart from Sheng Shishui, the person Qiu Yilan had previously remembered was Xiao Zhuang, the eleventh young lady, Zhuang Man's biological sister.
As for the sisters-in-law, Jiang Qizheng was naturally there, looking at Little Dou with a frown on her face.
It was the first time for the other Qiu Yilan to meet each other. After being mentioned by Mr. Tao, their attitudes were mixed. What surprised Qiu Yilan was that she had always thought that there would be four children in the fourth house, three legitimate children and one concubine - but it turned out that there was also a concubine, the Ninth Miss Jiang Qilai - and this Ninth Miss was gorgeously dressed and graceful, and she stood with Jiang Qizheng. She doesn't look like a concubine at all, especially a fourth-bedroom concubine!
"It's really strange that Nineteen has never mentioned his Ninth Sister to me?" Qiu Yilan muttered in her heart, "According to He Shuijin, my mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhuang, is very jealous by nature. Even though we are far apart, Jiang Ya The unlucky kid Zhu was also tortured by her... Miss Ninth doesn't look like she was suppressing her. Is it because she is a girl? "
Mr. Tao tried his best to introduce everyone in the circle with witty words and finally relaxed the atmosphere. At this time, Mrs. Tao also received news of Little Dou's attack, and quickly sent someone over: "The two old ladies said that there are many guests coming to congratulate the 19th Young Master and the 19th Young Madam. Over there. My wife and young ladies are too busy, please come and help me!"
He added, "The two old ladies were considerate of the ladies and specially ordered the kitchen to prepare the dishes that the ladies like to eat. They also asked Miss Sun to accompany the ladies to the table!"
Little Mrs. Dou frowned. As the eldest daughter-in-law of her grandchildren, she would definitely go out to help if she couldn't greet the guests. But what she said to Shui Jin just now made her very angry. Now she was unwilling to leave like this, so she winked at her daughter, Miss Jiang Huizhi, the eldest grandson.
Jiang Huizhi had already grown hair, so she naturally understood what her mother meant, so she said crisply: "If everyone leaves, wouldn't it mean that Aunt Nineteen is left to hang out here?"
"We've all left so that your Aunt Nineteen can take a breather!" He Shuijin said calmly, "Didn't you see that your Aunt Nineteen's forehead is sweating from the flower crown? We are here, and she can't even try to freshen up! "
After saying that, she took Jiang Qizheng's arm and walked out, "Let's go, let's see the bride here, mother and second sister-in-law are so busy outside! Even my grandfather and uncle are here now." We sent someone to hurry us up. If we get there late, we might be blamed for being lazy!"
As soon as she started to move, most of the people followed her. Seeing that Xiao Dou's face was still not good-looking, Xiao Zhuang, the eleventh young lady, walked up to her and whispered: "Today is Nineteenth's happy day after all, why bother?" Aren't you happy? Zhi'er is so old now, so she's going to tell her about it soon, in case the nineteen brothers and sisters hold a grudge... "
"...let's go!" Little Dou's chest felt tight and she bit her lip.
After everyone left, Qiu Yilan realized that the bridal chamber was very spacious. It was no wonder that even the master and dozens of servants gathered outside the tent just now, it was not very crowded.
She looked around at the furnishings. Considering Jiang Yashuang's status in the Jiang family, the courtyard allocated for him to get married was naturally very gorgeous with carved beams, painted pillars, jewels and jewels.
"I just don't know what's going on in the yard?" Qiu Yilan was wearing a hijab when she came in. She walked by holding on to the red silk. She didn't know where she had passed. At this moment, everyone was gone except for her maid. Now, she stood up, wanting to take a look at the window to see where she would live in the future - but when she got up, the maids nervously asked her what she was going to do.
Knowing that she just wanted to see the courtyard, Su He and others were dumbfounded: "The courtyard has been decorated very delicately. But it's late now, and you can't see clearly even with the lights on. It will be the same tomorrow morning. It will be the same now." Just sit back and wait for the young master to come over!"
Unable to defeat them, Qiu Yilan had no choice but to wear heavy clothes and sit on the couch to wait... Just when she was about to fall asleep, Jiang Yashuang was back. As soon as she entered the door, a strong smell of alcohol rushed in. !
"I was being stared at all the time at the table, so I just threw wine all over me and pretended to be drunk before I could get away!" After he came in, he closed the door with his back and explained in a low voice, "I'm going to take a shower and change and then come back... You're tired first." Why don't you change the flower crown? No one will come here today."
Qiu Yilan let out a sigh of relief. When he went to the bathroom, she hurriedly said: "Take off this costume for me! My neck is about to break!"
"You don't want to say such things today!" Chun Ran and Xia Ran stopped her in unison. They took off her makeup, took off her crown, and put her into normal clothes. "Go out and get some water. You can sit on the screen." Why don't you take a shower later? Otherwise, it might be too late if you go to the bathroom after you finish your bath!"
Qiu Yilan rubbed her sore neck, shoulders and arms, and nodded hurriedly!
The two of them finished washing at about the same time. Qiu Yilan tied her bellyband with the help of Su He. She was looking at the thin outer robe tangledly when the door was pushed open. She was wearing a straight train with wide sleeves and loose clothes. Jiang Yashuang, who has long ink-colored hair, floats in!
"You guys go down." Seeing Qiu Yilan sitting on the couch under the big red wedding tent, her skin was like fragrant snow, her black hair was like a waterfall, her cheeks that had been steamed by hot water were white and rosy, and she was as gorgeous as a begonia. His pupils twitched slightly. Shrink and order softly.
Su He and others responded in unison, stuffed their tulle robes into Qiu Yilan's hands, and slipped out of the door.
The newlyweds were the only ones left in the room. Although they were used to being alone together, when it came to the wedding night, they felt an unreal sense of trance.
After a moment of confusion, Jiang Yashuang coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Are you hungry?"
"... I just ate some cakes before taking a bath." Qiu Yilan pursed her lips and said calmly while holding her outer robe. This scene made her instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.
"Are you nervous?" It was rare for Jiang Yashuang to hear her speak in such a low voice, and a smile flashed in her eyes. She walked into the tent, casually put down the golden hook, and reached out to take the robe in her hand, "It's not like we usually I've never been alone... I'll put a clothes hanger on it for you!"
Qiu Yilan wanted to say something, but couldn't find the right words for a while. She subconsciously clutched her robe: "Wait!"
Jiang Yashuang was startled: "What's wrong?"
"I..." Qiu Yilan racked her brains to think about the topic, "When the eighth sister-in-law introduced me to someone just now, she mentioned that the ninth sister is also in our room. Why haven't I heard you say that?"
"Sister Ninth got married when I was a child, and I haven't seen her very often, so I'm not very familiar with her." Jiang Yashuang explained, "And we didn't mention her when we talked about things before, so we didn't talk about her specifically."
Qiu Yilan said: "Oh, so that's it? I think she has a graceful demeanor. I wonder who her family is?"
"The ninth brother-in-law works in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the father-in-law of the ninth brother-in-law is the Minister of the Ministry of War, who is our third uncle's immediate boss." Jiang Yashuang pulled at her robe two more times and saw her hugging her tightly, feeling a little bit dumbfounded. "We've all been resettled, what are you doing with your robe?"
"I feel a little cold..." Seeing that he didn't want to talk about Jiang Qijia anymore, Qiu Yilan said bravely, "I'd better put it on... By the way, your ninth sister is several years older than you. Does she have a child?" As he spoke, he shook off his outer robe and planned to put it on - then he saw Jiang Yashuang was startled, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually deepened. In the end, he couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud: "I'm usually so fierce, but now I know how to be afraid. ?”
Qiu Yilan's hands that were half-draped froze, and she forced a nonchalant look on her face and said, "You're overthinking, I just...well, I just want to know the specific situation of your family, so I won't have to say anything when I serve tea tomorrow. Isn’t that something you shouldn’t say?”
Jiang Yashuang laughed so much that she fell down: "Tomorrow's tea is from my own family, and I am the grandson. All my sisters are married, so why are they here?"
"..." Qiu Yilan was silent for a moment, and then said decisively, "The little girl wearing a pink embroidered butterfly dress and a floral skirt just now is very cute. She seems to be your eldest niece? How old is she? Is she a big girl? What do you usually like? …”
"So you're going to ask the people you just met one by one, and ask if you're going to serve tea directly at dawn?" Jiang Yashuang reached out and lightly scratched her pink cheeks, touched her collarbone, and said with a smile, "Tonight is the day. What day do you think I’m in the mood to introduce my family to you?”
Qiu Yilan's cheeks were rosy, and she said calmly: "I just think we should talk first..."
"You can say whatever you want during the day!" Jiang Yashuang grabbed her hands with a half-smile and tried to push her away, "And you've been wasting a lot of time just now by rambling..."
"Hmm!" Qiu Yilan was unwilling to delay for a while, but Jiang Yashuang lowered her head and kissed her hungrily... A moment later, the weak Qiu Yilan was pressed into the red quilt behind her...
The sound of banquet music coming from time to time and the drizzle outside the window lattice make the bridal chamber even more peaceful and quiet.
On the long carved and gilded table, a pair of wedding candles burned quietly, illuminating the outline of the entangled necks in the red tent...
