Geng Scroll, Section 62, The Lady in the Long House
"It's almost done." Feng Ziying lazily put her head on Shen Yixiu's protruding belly and listened carefully for a while, "Well, the little guy is very excited. He is actually dancing around inside, and he is not worried about whether his mother can bear it. "
"It's getting better now, and it was even worse a few days ago." Shen Yixiu's originally soft oval face has now become a lot rounder, with a layer of maternal brilliance revealed between his brows, and the happy smile on his cheeks is beyond words. "Ms. sir, do you think it's a son or a girl?"
"With a pointed navel, it's usually a girl, but this is not allowed." Feng Ziying comforted Shen Yixiu, "I have already said, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, as long as you two are safe, I will be happiest. The most difficult thing for a woman is to give birth to her first child, so I ask you to go out for a walk every day, and do more stretching exercises if you have nothing to do..."
Shen Yixiu blushed and said angrily: "What kind of posture did Xianggong teach me? How could my daughter do such behavior without anyone seeing her..."
As Shen Yixiu said, even the women in brothels cannot do such dirty and obscene movements, but this is the most normal thing in modern yoga.
Feng Ziying shook her head: "First of all, I just asked Wan Jun to do it in the boudoir. If you can't do it well, you can ask Qingwen and Yunshang to help you, and you can control the intensity yourself. There is no need to force it; secondly, you women have less time to do activities outside. , the amount of exercise is small, the pelvic and hip bones have less time to exercise, and this may be the key during delivery, so moving more beforehand will be extremely beneficial during delivery..."
Shen Yixiu was both sweet and annoyed by her husband's plausive words. Although it sounded reasonable, those postures were so embarrassing that even practicing while hiding on the bed still made her face burn.
“Sir, where did you learn these methods?” Qingwen rubbed Shen Yixiu’s calves suspiciously, and asked, “How come you’ve never heard of anyone talking about them?”
"Why, do you still think that I am here to tease your grandma?" Feng Ziying glared at Qingwen: "These are ancient secret techniques, taught by Master Zhang. I won't tell ordinary people, especially people like you, Qingwen. If you have a thin waist, thin hips, and a small pelvis, if childbirth becomes more troublesome in the future, you'd better start practicing now, otherwise..."
That sentence made Qingwen's face turn red. She couldn't help but turn her face to one side and spat.
Shen Yixiu couldn't help laughing, "I was wrong. Qingwen's waist is thin, but her hips..."
“Grandma!” Qingwen was anxious.
Feng Ziying glanced curiously at the waist of Qingwen, who was sitting on the stool, "Oh, does Qingwen have any other secrets?"
“Grandma!” Feng Ziying’s glance was like an electric shock. Qingwen couldn’t help but tighten her buttocks, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Okay, okay, don't tell me, don't tell me, but Qingwen, how can you still hide these things from me?" Shen Yixiu's eyes were flowing, "There are rumors outside that I have countless daughters,..."
Feng Ziying couldn't help coughing, "Wan Jun, these are all rumors from the outside world and are purely slander..."
"Why are you in such a hurry, sir? Didn't I tell you it was a rumor?" Shen Yixiu found it funny.
My husband has such a reputation for being romantic that even my mother wrote to inquire about her from Dongchang Mansion. She even expressed her father's wishes. The implication must be that she felt that she had not served her husband well, especially during her pregnancy, so she should consider giving her husband a favor. Serve one or two concubines, or keep the girls around you in your house.
But only Shen Yixiu himself knew that her husband was actually quite restrained in this regard.
Just like Qingwen, she is definitely top-notch in terms of appearance, but she is still a virgin. She has taken the initiative to tell him to find a suitable opportunity to take over the house. Qingwen's Shen Yixiu also specifically said that Qingwen Wen also agreed timidly, but her husband always said that it would be more interesting to let nature take its course.
This shows that the husband is not the hungry ghost that the outside world reports.
As for Eryou, Jin Chuaner, Xiangling and the others, Shen Yixiu didn't really care.
Er Youna and other Hu women were just a coincidence in their husband's expedition to the west to quell the rebellion, or he had a little desire to try new things. Moreover, Er You behaved very respectfully, and Shen Yixiu was also very satisfied.
It is normal for a wealthy family to give maids and slaves as gifts. The Jia family gave their husband-in-law Jin Chua'er and sisters Yu Chua'er, although they were the best choices, but they also had a purpose, which was to make good friends with the husband-in-law's reputation and talent. He didn't even try to hide his intentions.
Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and even Jia Lan were all seen by Xianggong’s teachings. Now that Jia Huan has even passed the scholar examination and entered Qingtan Academy to study, he is worthy of the Jia family. What does a pair of maids mean?
On the other hand, Xue Pan's gift of Xiangling to her husband was a clever move in Shen Yixiu's opinion, and it played a big role. At least it brought the two parties closer and made them more friends. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for sisters Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin to marry into a second wife. It's hard to say.
Moreover, the husband also vaguely mentioned to himself that his reputation is too great now, but there are some things that are beneficial to the country and the people, and he has to do them. But if he does more, he will naturally be praised and slandered. For the husband, in the More slander about women may relieve some people's inner anxiety and dissatisfaction, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The husband may even intentionally indulge in the spread of this reputation.
After Shen Yixiu confided this idea to his mother and father in a letter, he later wrote a letter to his father. He did not mention this point again in the letter, and even implicitly expressed his satisfaction with his attitude and handling method.
The whispers and banter between the husband and wife in the boudoir are also quite a bit like a thrush. The three masters and servants are leisurely and contentedly enjoying the last good time before leaving Beijing.
Although there was no news from the imperial court, Feng Ziying knew that it was time to leave Beijing and return to Yongping Mansion.
The number of days on the way there and back plus the days of stay in the capital are ten days, and ten days are enough for a lot of things to happen.
The Chahar and Waikarkha people began to retreat quietly. The Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army were chasing after them. The Jizhen Army was relatively stable. Zasai over there had also begun to return north. He still needed to go back and fight with them. Meet him once.
"Sir, Baoxiang Chuan, Master Pardon from the Rongguo Mansion is here." When Yun Shang came in, Feng Ziying was already a little drowsy. The sun was shining brightly at noon, coming in through the window lattice. There was a lovely wife and maidservant sitting next to her, sitting on the kang. On the couch, I really wanted to sleep with my legs on my legs.
“Master Pardon?” Feng Ziying had not thought about it for a while. What could he do if he came? Could it be that Yingchun exposed the secret?
impossible. If Yingchun exposed the secret, he would most likely have to go to the Jia Mansion to "question the crime."
Qingwen had already gotten up to change Feng Ziying's clothes, "It's surprising why this great gentleman would come to our house."
"Who can tell?" Shen Yixiu glanced at her husband thoughtfully, "Maybe it's a good thing?"
Feng Ziying coughed dryly, but before she could speak, Qingwen had already answered: "Grandma, you don't know that this great master of the Jia family has always been unprofitable and can't afford to get up early. When he comes to our house, he must have to ask for help again." I'm doing something for him, and it's definitely not a worry-free thing."
"Damn girl, please speak more politely. You are also from Rongguo Mansion. I have inextricable connections with the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion. Maybe one day I will be able to raise one or two girls from the Jia family to become grandmothers. Then you will have good fruits to eat."
Shen Yixiu chuckled and cursed. After becoming pregnant, Shen Yixiu's temperament seemed to have become more lively, or he felt more at ease with having an heir in his belly.
"Grandma, that's not right. I'm just telling the truth. As for which girl from the Jia family wants to become a grandma in the house, I'm afraid it won't happen. Miss Bao and Miss Lin have already taken up their positions. Do they want to come in and become aunts? Then it depends on whether grandma agrees. Well, of course, entering the second and third bedrooms has nothing to do with the eldest house here. The slave is the eldest house’s owner, so why should we look at whose face?” Qingwen said sharply. , arrogantly and authentically.
Feng Ziying couldn’t help but shake her head.
This girl Qingwen really has this kind of temperament. No wonder she is disliked everywhere in the Dream of Red Mansions. She was eventually kicked out of Jia's house and died sadly.
This kind of temper, to put it harshly, can only be felt by those who like her to be frank and true. People who can't get used to it will probably be disgusted to the core, even the people around her. If they are more petty, I'm afraid they will all Rarely harmonious.
No wonder Jin Chuaner and she had a very cold relationship even though they both came from Rongguo Mansion, but Xiangling was kind-hearted and could get along well with her.
Shen Yixiu may just like her sincerity and straightforwardness, so he thinks she is cute. Of course, Qingwen is also sincere towards Shen Yixiu. Feng Ziying also sees this. Shen Yixiu is such a smart person, and now he is a The owner of the house naturally has her own way of controlling people, and Feng Ziying will not interfere.
"Okay, master and servant, please stop talking about what's available and what's not. Aren't you just trying to squeeze me out?" Feng Ziying pretended to be angry, "That's all your grandma, Qingwen, you are actually making insinuations, it's pointless. Have you behaved yourself?"
"How can I dare? What kind of person is the master of the Jia family? Don't you know what kind of person he is?" Qingwen retorted unconvinced: "How about I make a bet with you and see what happened to Mr. Pardon this time? If it is true, I will make a bet with you." The purpose is to bring good things to me, and I am willing to be punished. If it brings trouble to me, then even if I lose, I don’t want anything. I just remember my words.”
Shen Yixiu rolled his eyes, "Well, that won't work. If Qingwen loses, Qingwen will be punished. What is the punishment? She will be punished by giving birth to a son and a daughter for me. If I lose, I will have to do something for Qingwen. Son, I remember that I have found Qingwen’s parents for Xiangling, so I must be able to think of a solution for Qingwen’s parents. If I lose then, I will be responsible for finding Qingwen’s biological parents... "
