Zeng Chenfu's due date is at the end of February. She had agreed with Mrs. Zeng before that she would live in Anyang Bofu before giving birth. But after the first month of the year, Mrs. Zeng was still in office and did not return to Beijing.
Ning Zhan asked, "You are going to give birth in more than half a month, can your mother-in-law come in time?"
Master Pang and Master Zeng both served in Huzhou, but one was the prefect and the other was Zhizhou, which was two levels behind. Because they were in the same place, the marriage between Pang family uncle and Zeng Miaojia naturally took place at the post. The marriage date of the two was set on December 16 last year. As the mistress of the house, Mrs. Zeng rushed to organize the wedding in September last year.
Mrs. Zeng originally planned to send off Zeng Miaojia to marry, and then stay in office for the New Year. After the Lantern Festival, she took her two sons back to the capital. In this way, it happened to catch up with Zeng Chenfu's production. Unexpectedly, there was an errand in the marriage.
One month before the marriage, the uncle Pang family went out to play with friends and did not know how to roll down the steep slope. After waking up from a coma, the doctor said that he should take care of it for a while.
The Pang family meant that the wedding would be held as usual. Uncle Pang family can't welcome the relatives, he can let his younger brother replace him. Mrs. Zeng had no objection, but Zeng Miaojia was unwilling to live and die. Zeng's grandfather loved the mother and daughter Zeng Miaojia the most. Seeing that they were crying miserably, he agreed to postpone the wedding by one month.
Zeng Chenfu smiled and said: "My mother wrote to me and said that after the eldest sister returns, she will return to the capital. I think there should be a delay on the way, and it should be there in these two days!"
"I'm afraid of something wrong again."
Zeng Chenfu was also a little nervous as he approached production. Although the wife and wife around her are very experienced, the presence of Mrs. Zeng can make her feel at ease.
Zeng Chenfu hesitated and said, "If something goes wrong, my mother should write to me and tell me."
Ning Zhan said: "If the mother-in-law hasn't arrived in these two days, I will send someone to Huzhou to ask."
Two days later, Mrs. Zeng still did not reach the capital. Ning Zhan felt uneasy and immediately sent someone to ask the news.
As a result, Uncle Anyang's people saw Zeng Chenfu's two younger brothers as soon as they left the capital.
It's all right now, and there is no need to go to Henan to welcome the two uncles back directly.
Hearing what his younger brother said, Zeng Chenfu was very surprised: "Uncle Pang's family is abolished? Didn't it mean that he just rolled down from a short bridge and broke his leg without treatment?"
The uncle Zeng family said vaguely: "Sister, it's not that the legs are broken, but that aspect is broken."
Zeng Chenfu, who is about to be a mother nowadays, immediately understood when he heard this: "What happened?" She has never seen the Pang family uncle, but heard that Mrs. Zeng said that she was indeed a woman. Young people of good moral character. If this happens, the psychological endurance is not strong enough, and this life may be ruined.
The Fifth Master of the Zeng family said: "Eldest sister, actually Pangda brother is not abolished. Doctor Qiao said that there are some treatments, but it will take a while. But the second sister yelled that Doctor Qiao was bought by the Pang family and wanted to cheat her. Keep your widowhood for a lifetime. Now this matter has caused a lot of trouble in Huzhou."
Zeng Chenfu's eldest brother died, and he was not included in the subsequent ordering. The second brother of her auntie ranks fifth in the Zeng family. Because the second son doesn't have to take on the heavy responsibility of inheriting the family business, he is a little bit off-tempered.
Zeng Chenfu looked at her older brother,
The uncle Zeng family said: "Eldest sister, Doctor Qiao is superb in medical skills. He said that he can be cured. It's just that the second sister doesn't believe it, and it makes the matter worse."
Zeng Chenfu sneered and said: "She didn't want to marry the uncle Pang family. Now that she knows that she has a physical problem, she naturally wants to take the opportunity to make a fuss."
The uncle Zeng family really didn't know about this: "She doesn't want to marry the uncle Pang family? Then who does she want to marry?"
"She always likes to compare with me. Seeing that I am married into the earl's mansion, she naturally wants to marry a high-ranking family." It's just that she didn't expect Zeng Miaojia to be so mindless and make trouble after passing the house. It caused the Pang family to get angry, and it was she herself who suffered in the end.
When the fifth master of the Zeng family heard these words, she disdainfully said: "She also doesn't look in the mirror to see how she compares to your eldest sister." His eldest sister is both the eldest daughter of the prostitute, beautiful and literary. Most importantly, he was admitted to Wenhua Hall and was loved by the empress. On the other hand, Zeng Miaojia is nothing but a face.
Zeng Chenfu asked, "Did this matter have not been resolved before you came?"
Uncle Zeng understood now, and sneered: "It's no wonder that she was clamoring to make peace, that's the case. But I don't want to think about what other good people can she find after Li." The two brothers were neither. I like Zeng Miaojia.
Zeng Chenfu said: "Heli? She really dared to think about it. If she and Li will definitely affect the marriage of other sisters. Will grandfather and grandfather agree to this matter?"
Zeng Wuye said: "It's hard to say. If Dad agrees with her to leave, it will be useless for grandfather and grandmother to oppose." After all, the emperor is too far away, and the emperor Zeng is too far away.
Seeing Zeng Chenfu frowning, Uncle Zeng said: "Eldest sister, you can raise your fetus with peace of mind, and you don't care about family affairs. No matter how dad he spoils her, he will never agree to peace." Even if the peace and separation have an impact, It also didn't affect their brothers. As for Zeng Chenfu, he is already married, let alone involved.
Zeng Chenfu said, "Since my mother has not returned, you will live in the house first. You will move back when your mother comes back."
The uncle Zeng family shook his head and said, "This is too far away from the academy and it is not convenient to go back and forth."
"Eldest sister, we are all such grown-ups and can take care of ourselves. Elder sister, you can take good care of your baby and give me a fat nephew at that time." He was looking forward to the upcoming nephew.
Seeing that the two younger brothers insisted on going back, Zeng Chenfu stopped again. After all, academics matter.
In the evening, Ning Zhan came back and knew about it: "Mother-in-law is afraid that she won't be able to return to Beijing in a short time." If this matter is not handled properly, it is impossible for Mrs. Zeng to return to the capital.
Zeng Chenfu sighed and said, "If she really leaves, the marriages of those sisters in the family will be affected." Fortunately, the married couple will have to wait for marriage in the future.
"It's useless for you to worry about this." After finishing speaking, Ning Zhan said: "I don't worry if you are at home alone. I will ask my second sister to come and stay for a while!"
Zeng Chenfu said: "Second sister has to take care of her brother-in-law and two children. How can she go back to her natal house for such a long time. Don't worry, both of them have experience."
Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "How can this be the same. If something happens, they can't be the master. Don't always think that it is not good to trouble the second sister, and your brothers and sisters don't need to be so polite. In the future, the second sister and the second brother-in-law have something to do, and I am sure too. I want to help."
In fact, Zeng Chenfu felt a little unsure, and he didn't object anymore after hearing this: "It's almost a month before the due date, so don't worry."
Ning Zhan didn't want to wait because the expected date of delivery was not accurate. Both Ruyi and Ruhui gave birth half a month in advance. So the next day, he went to find Ruhui.
Ruhui heard that she was asked to return to Anyang Bofu to take care of Zeng Chenfu, and said strangely: "Didn't I say that before, when my younger brothers and sisters are giving birth, Mrs. Zeng will go to accompany you?"
Ning Zhan smiled bitterly: "Something has happened to the Zeng family. My mother-in-law may not be able to return to the capital before Chenfu gives birth. Sister, I have to trouble you with this matter." Well planned, who knows it can be like that. trouble.
Ruhui didn't ask what the matter was, "Is it a beating if you say this? When your brother-in-law comes back in the evening, I will tell him. But the younger brothers and sisters don't give birth so quickly, I will go back in a few days."
Ning Zhan said: "You and your eldest sister will give birth early, and I'm afraid Fuer will give birth early. Sister, let's go with your family's affairs after you have arranged it! If not, I will not feel at ease in the palace." I'm afraid of hearing it. News of Zeng Chenfu's early production.
Ruhui smiled and said, "Okay, then I will take the child back in two days."
When Meng Ranxi knew about it, he said, "Tomorrow, I will go to your grandmother to talk about this." If the old lady doesn't agree, he can intercede.
"No, I can handle it." Why Meng Ranxi should come forward with such a trivial matter.
In the morning of the second day, Ruhui took her two children to greet Mrs. Meng Lao. At this moment, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng were both present, and there were several other concubines. Among them, the daughter-in-law of Meng Ranxi's two younger brothers was also included.
Ruhui had nothing to avoid, and in front of the people in the house, Mrs. Meng said that she would go back to her natal family to take care of her younger sister-in-law who was about to give birth.
After speaking, Ruhui said: "Grandma also knows that my mother has gone to Tongcheng, and now there is no other person in charge of my sister-in-law at home. My brother was too worried, so he asked me to stay with her for a while. "
Mrs. Meng frowned and said: "Your sister-in-law gave birth to such a big business, why doesn't your mother come back?" I have never seen such a big-hearted mother-in-law.
"My mother originally wanted to come back, but my brother thought that it would be better to have my mother by my side to take care of her father when he was old, so she wouldn't let her come back. I had previously said that when my younger siblings gave birth, Mrs. Zeng went to take care of them. It’s just that something happened to the Zeng family. Mrs. Zeng can’t come back before my younger siblings give birth.” After finishing speaking, Ruhui smiled: “Before the Xianggong meeting, my younger brother asked the young master of the Lan family so that the Xianggong can go to the Lan family to study. Nowadays. My sister-in-law wants to give birth to someone who is not in charge of the family, how can I stand by and watch.
When it comes to this, Mrs. Meng can still refuse: "How long will it take?"
"After the child baptizes for the third time, I will come back." If the child hasn't come back before the full moon, she still has to organize the full moon banquet. But don't worry about it, let's talk about it then.
"What did Ranxi say?"
Hearing that Meng Ranxi agreed, Mrs. Meng did not object even if she was not happy in her heart: "The child will come back after the child baptism, otherwise she will always leave Ranxi alone at home."
Even if these words are not very popular, but the purpose is achieved, Ruhui is still in a good mood.
Two days later, Ruhui returned to Anyang Bofu with her children. Although he only brought clothes and daily necessities, he also contained twelve large boxes.
Mrs. Meng San curled her lips when she knew, "Those who don't know thought she was moving!"
Grandma Meng Wu was rubbing her shoulders for Mrs. Meng San, her eyes drooping when she heard this. If it was her, let alone the twelve boxes, the mother-in-law would suspect that the mother-in-law would suspect the mother-in-law if I brought two boxes.
Thinking of this, Grandma Meng Wu also wanted to do some business to make money. With living money in hand, there is no need to ask for help, let alone look at the face of the mother-in-law.
