Chapter 96 Labor
Moreover, if we want to get to the bottom of it, isn’t Feng the real culprit who needs to be traced? Without her instruction, how could a child as young as Dun Geer know about pushing his sister into the water?!
In the evening, Mrs. Sun came to visit her again and presented her with an amulet said to have been blessed by an eminent monk from Faguang Temple outside the city. She smiled and said, "I heard last night that my sister and Sister Ling were both frightened.
I also heard that I was coming, so I didn’t dare to come over and disturb me. However, I informed my grandma this morning that she was going out and went to Faguang Temple to burn two sticks of incense and pray for my sister and Sister Ling.
The sign on the branch said that my sister was happy to have a son, and that Sister Ling would marry into a good family in the future. I was happy when I saw it, so I simply asked for two more amulets. After wearing them, my sister and Sister Ling had nothing to worry about.
An unexpected loss!”
Pei Xiner listened quietly, not believing a word she said, but she still smiled and said: "Sister Sun is interested! In fact, there is nothing serious about me, and Sister Ling is fine after taking the medicine. I didn't expect to need more
The working sister worked so hard to run such a lap, which really makes me feel bad! Thank you very much, sister!"
Mrs. Sun then smiled and said: "What are you talking about, sister? What else can we say about our sisters? Well, I won't bother you anymore. My sister is pregnant with Liujia. It's time for her to have a good rest, so I will
I’ll take my leave now.”
She was more discerning than Mrs. Li. She knew that Pei Xiner would get tired easily at this moment, so she stood up and left after saying a few words. Pei Xiner did not stay with the guest, but asked Juan'er to see Mrs. Sun to the door for her.
After Ying'er walked out, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This Aunt Sun is quite sensible... Auntie. What should I do with these two amulets?"
Pei Xiner looked at the thing lying quietly on the lacquer plate, sighed slightly and said: "Take it first and offer it as an offering! After all, it was brought back from the temple. No matter what it is, you can't neglect it."
But if she said that these two things were really requested for her to give birth safely, she would never believe it!
Two days later, Ruiniang came back.
As soon as she returned to the yard, she knelt down with a bang and said with tears: "Damn it, little one! I failed to take good care of Sister Ling, and even caused my aunt to be frightened. It's all my fault. Please ask my aunt."
Punishment!"
Pei Xin'er sighed and motioned for Juan'er to come forward and help her up, while saying: "Ruiniang, you are also an old man by my side. You have been with me since I entered the house. I remember all this! No one is a saint, who is it?
It's okay. You are usually very cautious, and you rarely make mistakes like this. It's really rare. Just be more careful in the future and don't let similar things happen again. There's no point in saying anything about punishment.
It's a shock to each other's hearts. Let's just let this matter go. No one should think about anything anymore. You should have a good rest first. After you recover, you can come in and listen... By the way, how is your health now?
?Is the ten taels of silver I gave you enough?"
Ruiniang listened quietly. The more she listened, the more ashamed she became. She almost lowered her head to the ground. When she heard the last sentence, she knelt down again and cried bitterly. This time, she let Juan
No matter how much I tried to persuade him, I refused to get up.
She cried loudly and said: "Auntie, you care so much about me, but I do such a thing. I really have no shame to see you again!"
Pei Xiner then smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it would be pretentious to say too much about gratitude. You should get up first. If you really feel guilty, you must serve me more carefully and take care of Sister Ling in the future. I
That’s enough.”
Ruiniang's face was full of shame, and then she kowtowed deeply and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you so much for your tolerance and generosity, my aunt. I swear here that no matter what happens in the future, I will be loyal to my aunt and never do anything wrong."
A little bit of a lie! If you violate this oath, let the little sky strike you with five thunders, and you will not die a good death!"
Pei Xiner was stunned, looked at her, sighed and said: "It's okay if you express your feelings, why do you need to swear any vicious oaths? I still can't trust you as a person? Okay, okay, stop kneeling on the ground.
It's cold on the ground, so you'd better go back and recuperate quickly. I still have a lot of things to do here, so you should come back quickly."
Ruiniang kowtowed three more times solemnly, then got up and went back. After another five days, she finally recovered her health and returned to Pei Xiner's side without mentioning anything else.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival incident, Pei Xin'er became even more cautious. She lived in seclusion every day, only moving around in her yard and never stepping out of the house. And with the old lady, even Mrs. Feng also
Not daring to call her out easily, she simply closed the door and lived her life, just caring about her own small courtyard. Although every day was unremarkable, she was safe.
In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed. The weather has entered late autumn, the temperature has cooled down immediately, the leaves on the trees have begun to wither, and the crops have been harvested. The joy of the harvest fills everyone's heart. At this time, Pei Xiner's
The delivery date is gradually approaching.
The midwife and wet nurse have been found and are living in the courtyard at this time. Zhao Yuchao personally found these people, but they did not know how to get into the general's mansion through Feng's hands, so this special
The concern did not cause much reaction. It was just that Ms. Feng seemed a little anxious. She had tried so many methods but could not stop Pei Xin'er from giving birth. She felt a little unwilling and a little worried. She originally wanted to take action again, but
Pei Xin'er just huddled in her own yard. She didn't dare to make any mistakes and did whatever she wanted. She could only drag it out day by day, watching Pei Xin'er's due date approaching day by day.
Now Pei Xiner's movements have been greatly restricted. The possibility of giving birth at any time made her uncontrollably nervous. She originally had to walk in the yard for an hour every day, but now it was shortened to half an hour. But she
I still insist on walking every day, not for anything else, just to make it easier for myself when I give birth in the future - giving birth is a dangerous process, and many people fall at this last hurdle. In the least, the child will die early, in more serious cases.
She even lost her life. Now she still has Sister Ling waiting for her to take care of her, so naturally she is reluctant to die.
That day, she opened her eyes at dawn. She couldn't sleep well all night because of the baby in her belly, and it was uncomfortable to fall asleep because her belly was too big. So she simply sat up and called to sleep.
Yinger, who is outside, gets dressed and gets up.
Ying'er woke up with a start. After Pei Xiner's pregnancy entered the ninth month, she and Juan'er took turns staying by Pei Xiner's side, staying together day and night. Today it happened to be Ying'er's turn to stay on duty, so she hurriedly crawled
He got up and helped Pei Xin'er wash up. He cheered up and said with a smile, "My aunt's fetus is so lively this time. It must be a brother. I would like to congratulate my aunt first!"
Pei Xiner's bad mood after a night of not sleeping well was relieved a lot by these words, so she smiled and said: "It's just fetal movement, how can it have anything to do with a boy or a girl? No matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl,
After all, they are my children and I love them all!"
Ying'er hurriedly smiled and said: "That's right! It would be great if I could have a young lady who is as smart, well-behaved and sensible as Sister Ling!"
Thinking of her daughter, Pei Xiner couldn't help but smile and narrow her eyes again.
"Where's Sister Ling? Are you up?" she asked.
Ying'er thought for a while, looked at the light outside the window, and estimated, "Looking at the sky, she must have already gotten up, and will go to school soon. She always goes to bed early and gets up early."
Pei Xiner felt a twinge of distress in her heart and said, "Go and see her! Speaking of which, since I got pregnant, I have hardly spent time with her or talked to her. I thought those things were unimportant.
, it doesn’t matter whether you say it or not, but you never thought that the unimportant thing is the most important thing, after all, you still have to have a good talk with her."
Ying'er helped her stand up and walked forward cautiously, while smiling: "My aunt just said that Sister Ling is smart, kind and lovely, and my aunt is hard-working. I believe she also knows that you and her
I mean, she will definitely not be dissatisfied."
Pei Xiner sighed and said, "It is precisely because she is so obedient that I feel a little guilty towards her. This pregnancy has indeed left her out in the cold. I can only make up for it after I give birth to the child!"
The two of them were talking, then opened the door and walked out slowly.
The weather in late autumn has become cold in the morning and evening, and there is frost on the ground, making it very slippery and unstable to walk on. These days, Pei Xin'er waits for the sun to come out for a long time, and the sunlight melts the frost on the ground before going out for a walk.
It was almost unique to go out at such an early time. At that moment, both of them were very alert and stepped on cautiously.
Fortunately, Sister Ling's place was not far from Pei Xin'er's house. It was in the back room of the yard. It could be reached in the blink of an eye. Looking from the outside, Pei Xin'er saw brightly lit lights inside and the figures of the maids in front of the window.
Flashing back and forth, Sister Ling's little shadow was also projected on the screen window, which made Pei Xiner smile knowingly.
"Let's go." She said softly, and then walked forward with Ying'er.
However, she had only taken two steps. Suddenly, she felt her feet slip and she fell towards the ground.
Ying'er was beside her, and she felt that the person she was supporting suddenly sank, and she was also pulled downwards. She was shocked and hurriedly stood firm.
He used all his strength to grab Pei Xin'er's arm and lift it up, using all his strength to prevent her from falling to the ground.
However, now Pei Xin'er's body is so heavy that a delicate little girl like her can't contend with it. Pei Xin'er is still sliding towards the ground, but Ying'er's all-out efforts to save her finally have some effect. She is not as expected as she imagined.
