In this era where patriarchy is very serious, no one will think that a daughter is a caring little padded jacket, and will only hug the big fat boy and laugh.
This is the case at the moment, the two children were carried to the old lady, the old lady just hugged the gentle child and teased for a while, she didn't even lift the swaddle of Liu Hanyun's daughter next to her.
Ji Man sighed, and went up to hug the girl by himself. It was also because of Liu Hanyun's bad luck that she couldn't get a man in one fell swoop, otherwise she would have someone to rely on in the future.
"Master, Chun Pi is outside, and he said he has something important to see." Deng Xin came in with her skirt in her hand, and whispered in Ji Man's ear.
The old lady was happy playing with the child, and many relatives from other houses also came to congratulate Hou Ye on having two children at once, and added a boy. Ji Man faintly felt that Chun Pi should talk about family matters, and this occasion is not suitable, so he said: "Let her wait for a while, and then come in to report after the people here leave."
Wick agreed, went out to say something, then came in and stood behind Ji Man.
Ji Man carefully lifted the swaddling clothes a little, and saw a wrinkled little face. Liu Hanyun's child is full-term, and it actually looks similar to the premature child of Alfalfa. Cried after being held by her twice, Ji Man hurriedly handed it over to the nanny to feed him.
"This child is considered to be growing well, and there is no congenital deficiency of premature birth." The old lady hugged the child and said to the people next to her.
With a slight movement in his heart, Ji Man stepped forward to look at Wen Wan's child.
Wen Wan was born prematurely, and Liu Hanyun's child was full-term, but why did she feel that Wen Wan's child was older
Remembering that Dengxin said that Chunpi had something to say, Ji Man hurried out to see Chunpi squatting by the side of the room crying.
Ji Man took her back to Feiwan Pavilion.
"The servant thinks that the master should give birth to a boy. As soon as the midwife took the baby out, she said it was a daughter without even looking at it. She cut the umbilical cord and took her to take a bath. The servant didn't even bother to take a look. Wen Wanna The child was born young, and the midwife would say it was a son when she held it in her arms. Wouldn’t it be wrong if the two children were mixed together? The slaves always feel unwilling... "
Chun Pi cried very sadly, shook his head and said: "Master's life shouldn't be so bad, it's hard to survive."
Ji Man thought about the two children he saw today, and felt that something was wrong. Why are premature babies bigger than full-term babies? That is to say, no one cared about Liu Hanyun's daughter when she was born, and no one looked at it carefully, so no one mentioned this issue.
"Dengxi, hurry up, go and stop the midwife!" Ji Man hurriedly ordered, and ran out after him.
Chun Pi wiped away tears and said: "The midwife is still receiving the reward in the Rose Garden, and the servant has been staring at her just now, and only came to talk to Madam after she went in."
Ji Man nodded, and while asking Lamp Wick to stop him, he went to find Gui Bai.
Xiao Wu's body in the mansion had already been carried to the yamen, and Gui Bai had just come back from the outside when Ji Man grabbed him and went to the Rose Garden.
The midwife was receiving the reward, her face beaming. The reward Wen Wan gave was quite a lot, a big bag of money, and she gave it to her and said: "It's enough for you to be happy for the rest of your life, you don't need to go back to the capital, and you don't need to help other people deliver babies anymore."
The midwife was about to thank her, but Deng Xin stepped into the room first, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Miss Wen Wan, Mrs. Yang, Madam has invited you to visit Feiwan Pavilion, and there is also a reward."
Leaning on the edge of the pillow, Wen Wan frowned upon hearing the words, glanced at Tan Xiang, and Tan Xiang said: "If you are not greedy enough, there is no good end for you. The money you gave me is already enough, and Mrs. Yang still sees it." Just accept it, why bother to make Madam spend more money."
Mrs. Yang is used to delivering babies to these high-ranking families. This is the first time she has encountered this situation. She felt a little flustered. She glanced at the lamp wick and said, "Madam's bounty will not be taken by me..."
Ji Man just arrived at the door with Gui Bai, and when Gui Bai came in, he directly helped Mrs. Yang out: "In this mansion, you'd better listen to Madam's words."
Wen Wan was taken aback, it was the time when her whole body was weak, she didn't even have the strength to get up, so she could only stare with wide eyes. Sandalwood stomped her feet and said angrily: "Young lady is about to rest, Madam brings people here to make trouble, don't you think it's too much?"
Ji Man raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Look carefully, I asked a midwife to leave, why is it called making trouble? The mother-in-law likes to make trouble, so let Gui Bai take her away as soon as possible, and won't disturb your girl to recuperate .”
After all, Gui Bai has already taken Mrs. Yang out.
Wen Wan pursed her lips tightly.
Mrs. Yang is a well-known midwife. When Liu Hanyun was nine months old, she was brought back to the mansion by Mo Yuhou, and she was kept there until she gave birth.
Ji Man looked at her for a long time, and said, "Can Mrs. Yang tell the difference between a nine-month-old child and a full-term child?"
Mrs. Yang stood up straight, still holding the silver in her hand, stuffed it firmly into her bosom, and then replied: "Of course we can tell the difference, but this time the two masters of your mansion have different bodies and bones, so the children born will naturally be different." It's a little different. The full-term baby is in poor health, so the child was born small, and the premature baby has been well maintained, so the fat boy born is also strong."
Hearing it this way, I think it makes sense. After all, midwives are professional. If she said so, no one would doubt anything.
Ji Man is not sure if someone has made a fuss here, maybe Wen Wan gave birth to a son by fate. If there is no evidence, no matter how unwilling Chun Pi is, there is nothing he can do.
After looking at the midwife for a while, Ji Man suddenly smiled and said, "What does Mrs. Yang think of my place?"
Mrs. Yang looked around and nodded, "Naturally, it's tens of millions of times better than our poor families."
"Then you can live here with peace of mind for a while." Ji Man said with a smile, "there are many women in the mansion, and they just had three children, two of whom were born prematurely, and there are still many things you need to worry about."
Mrs. Yang shook her head again and again: "I still have two sons and two daughters-in-law at home, so I want to take me back to enjoy the blessings."
Wick came and thrust a bar of gold into her hand.
Mrs. Yang was dumbfounded, and stared blankly for a while, hesitating. He opened his mouth and bit the gold, felt it was true, and said reluctantly: "The old man will stay for a few more days."
Jiman nodded.
There is a ripple in the maid assigned from the Cedar Courtyard, and the lamp wick assigns her the least amount of work every time, and then pulls her to chat after dinner.
Ripple is very cautious and doesn't like to talk too much. It's just that she seems to be very sad recently. Lamp has been with her all the time, and she is also a little touched. When there is no one at night, she finally talks to Lamp.
"I could have promised someone." Lianyi said quietly: "It's a pity that the person who promised has died."
Wick nodded and listened quietly.
"He is very down-to-earth, but his family is poor and he can't afford a dowry. I said it doesn't matter, I will marry him if you give me two sweet potatoes." Lianyi's eyes became wet again: "It's just that he refused to wrong me and insisted on marrying him." I earned enough money, but I didn’t think about it so I went…”
Wick patted Lianyi's back lightly, feeling extremely sorry: "How did you get there?"
Lianyi froze for a moment, pursed her lips and said nothing, wiped away her tears and fell asleep.
Wick told Jiman the next day. Lianyi is the maid that Ji Man specially wanted to come over, because when Xiao Wu died, people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to investigate the case, so they asked people close to him. Aunt Zhao in the kitchen told her that Xiao Wu and Lian Yi were childhood sweethearts and they were about to get married.
Ji Man felt that Ripple should know something. It's just that she is a good girl, even though she was assigned to Feiwan Pavilion, she still refused to say anything against Qian Lianxue.
Sometimes Ji Man feels that Qian Lianxue is still very successful in life.
It's just that she has to find a way to pry open Ripple's mouth.
There was a lot of fog behind Qian Lianxue, and her intuition told Ji Man that it would not be easy to bring her down. Although Qian Lianxue is just a concubine now, she is much more peaceful. But as long as she is here, she will not have a happy life.
But a major event happened in the court, which was the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
The prince molested the newly promoted concubine in the harem, but the emperor bumped into him. Longyan was furious and punished Zhao Zhezong for thinking about it. The prince's popularity is very high, but now that he is locked up, many people are outraged. Scholars wrote poems to mock the emperor for listening to the slander. The emperor's idol was smashed, and he threatened that only the crown prince was the people's aspiration, and everyone expected it.
Since ancient times, emperors have suffered from serious suspicions. This was staged among the people. Originally, the empress begged for mercy, but the emperor was a little bit soft-hearted.
The imperial court was boiling, but the people suddenly became less noisy. The temple was demolished, the prince turned back into the eldest prince, and was imprisoned in the clan mansion. The people on the street should buy vegetables and eat. Except for a few troublemakers who were arrested, the rest are living the life they want as usual.
The next step is to see when the emperor bestows the crown prince's dragon crown on the third prince.
After this great change, Mo Yuhou also took some time off, no longer running to Liubu every day, and was free to play with the birds and hug the children at home.
However, the third prince came to visit again, wearing still very dusty clothes, came to Ji Man's Feiwan Pavilion and said: "Cousin has been doing very well, now should I help my cousin one last time?"
The meaning of the last move is to completely take over Mo Yuhou.
Ji Man looked at Zhao Jue and said with a smile: "Cousin still doesn't understand? What kind of person is Ning Yuxuan? He has always left a way out for himself. The person he is loyal to is the prince, no matter who is in that position. Whether you are the prince or your cousin, he will do his duty in the same way."
Zhao Jue glanced at her and shook his head: "Not enough."
It is not difficult to get Mo Yuhou's conscientiousness, but he wants him to do his best. As long as he helps, the crown prince will naturally fall into his hands earlier.
But Nie Sangyu probably couldn't help him too much, the third prince thought about it, exchanged a few words with her, turned around and went directly to Ning Yuxuan's study.
