Chapter 3

"Hurry up, go to the doctor, the baby hasn't been born yet, Fourth Auntie is very popular!" Wen Po turned her head with blood on her hands, and said loudly to Fourth Auntie's personal maid, Cuiju, in a panic.For a while, he looked back at the door and at the fourth aunt who was bleeding profusely.When I looked back at Aster, I still didn’t react in a daze, and I pushed Aster again, “Go quickly, if you can’t find Master, I’ll report to Aunt Xia first, I always have to find a doctor as soon as possible.” Look. Something happened to Fourth Auntie, and there is nothing good for you."

Cui Ju is just a little girl who is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Because she is not too clever and too honest, and she is too young, she is sent to take care of the unfavored but pregnant fourth aunt.When the wife of the mansion was pregnant with the eldest daughter, Aunt Xia was the only favorite in the backyard, and there was another concubine under her knees who was a month younger than the eldest son born by the wife, but was more liked by the master, and he was always with him to teach.

The third aunt was the concubine of the master's colleague's family at that time. Although she had a very flamboyant personality, she was also very favored because of her status.At that time, the wife was pregnant. Although the master often came to visit, he never stayed overnight.

The madam chose Zhiqi, who was quite attractive and motivated, from the personal maids brought by her natal family, and gave it to the master to be the housekeeper.Although this girl has a bit of beauty, she is illiterate, and she can't be more attractive. Although she is diligent and careless, she only lasted for two years, and her freshness has passed.The master gradually stopped looking for her.At this time, the wife had already given birth to the eldest daughter who was born on the same day.Since then, both sons and daughters seem to have seen through, and gradually no longer care about the relationship between men and women as before, and only focus on raising a son and a daughter under her knees.

But at this time, Zhiqi was found to be two months pregnant.

When the madam entered the mansion, the master had a maid who had been serving her for several years by his side. The madam drank her tea and raised her to be a great aunt. The great aunt was three years older than the master. Don't serve the master anymore.The Buddhist hall guarding the old lady's courtyard gradually became a transparent person.

The second aunt is now the head of the family in the mansion, the master's bosom friend Xia Yanxia.Another concubine of a colleague entered the mansion and became the third concubine.So after Zhiqi was found to be pregnant, his wife took the initiative to raise her as the fourth concubine, so that the child in her womb would have an identity.

Who knew that although the fourth aunt was safely pregnant and was about to reach full term, for some unknown reason, she fell while walking in the yard and disturbed her fetal gas.It's only half a month early, and the fetus is about to be full-term. It shouldn't be so difficult, but what I don't know is why the fetus has been delayed, but the mother has already passed out from exhaustion, and her lower body has begun to gush out continuously. blood.Seeing that the fetus and the mother are about to die.

The quite experienced Wenpo couldn't help but panic at this time.Because the delivery date is approaching, although the master in the mansion doesn't dote on Fourth Auntie very much, for the sake of the heir, he sometimes takes care of Fourth Auntie during her pregnancy.Not only did they invite two steady wives for backup, but even the wet nurses prepared two of them a month in advance.He has been staying in the mansion waiting for the baby to be born.

Unexpectedly, the fourth aunt had just sent Aster to invite the master this morning, saying that she wanted the master to come and see the child who was about to be born.The master was invited to the Yongchang uncle's mansion by the new successor Earl Yongchang.

On one side are unfavored concubines and children of unknown gender, and on the other side is the court upstart Yongchang Bo.The master in the mansion went to accept the invitation from Uncle Yongchang's mansion.The mansion originally invited two stable women and two wet nurses to prepare, but the night before, several people had diarrhea after eating.Only this steady woman doesn't know whether it's because of her strong body or what.Anyway, I can still be on duty today.

The Aunt Xia Xia Yan, who was asked by Wen Po later to ask for instructions, was the master's favorite concubine. Although she was a concubine, the wife of the head was often ill, unable to socialize with the family, and unable to manage general affairs.So although this Aunt Xia is a concubine, her style and beauty inside and out are incomparable to ordinary ladies.

And the Yongchang uncle's mansion just mentioned is Aunt Xia's natal family.Aunt Xia and the current Uncle Yongchang were the concubine children of Uncle Yongchang's mansion. When Aunt Xia got married, his compatriot brother was just a little concubine who could not inherit the title.

It is her eldest brother who inherits the title.For her own future, Aunt Xia didn't want to be influenced by her aunt's marriage, so she went to Lingyun Temple to pray for blessings.Unexpectedly, they met, Tanhualang at that time, and after some conversation, the two became bosom friends.Unfortunately, Tanhualang was already engaged at that time, and the two agreed that after Tanhualang got married, they would come to ask for Xia Yan as his equal wife.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, when Tanhua Lang came to the door as promised, Xia Yan's marriage was suppressed by her aunt again, and she was admitted into the mansion only as a concubine on the grounds that the lowly concubine was unbearable to be an equal wife.Because of this, the master of the mansion felt indebted to Aunt Xia, and his wife was not recovering, so he handed over all the affairs of the house to Aunt Xia to take care of.And now the son of the Uncle Yongchang died unexpectedly, and the mother also died of illness because she couldn't stand the blow.So the title fell to Xia Yan's brother, Xia Yi.

It took a while for Aster to react, and hurriedly ran to the Yanhua Institute where Aunt Xia was.Aster's body was still stained with the blood that was stained when the steady woman pushed her down in a hurry.When they arrived at the gate of the Yanhua Institute, the woman guarding the gate thought she was buried, and couldn't speak clearly, so she pushed and shoved her to go far away, so as not to dirty the ground of the Yanhua Institute.

That Aster was not clever at all, and when she was ordered to be in danger, she was pushed and shoved, and she couldn't even speak clearly.This is a few people walking on the side road. The woman at the head is wearing a lotus blue wide-sleeved skirt embroidered with bat patterns, and is holding in her arms a child who is less than three years old and wearing a cherry pink skirt embroidered with peach flowers. The soft and cute baby girl, the young woman has a gentle face, responding to what the little girl said.

The big maid beside the young lady is half bent, protecting a boy about five years old. The little boy is wearing a moon-white gown with bamboo-green trim, and his head is tied with a bamboo-green slender silk cloth. Wearing a bun.For a while, the boy stretched out his hand to hook the camellia that grew taller than him, and then looked down at the wild flowers that grew unexpectedly large and small by the roadside, and for a while he wanted to chase butterflies.This big servant girl is responsible for taking care of him all the time.Behind the lady was a nanny who was about forty at the end of the first grade, and she was dressed in a decent way.In addition, there are two maidservants who are about seventeen or eighteen years old behind Mammy.The two also exchanged a sentence or two from time to time.Several people were playing in the garden, looking very comfortable.

Aster saw a few people from a distance and ran towards them. As soon as she ran in front of the woman, she knelt down on the ground, kowtowed her head, and said vaguely, "Help, madam, help!" .”

And the young woman who is visiting the garden is the former Mrs. Tanhualang in the mansion, and now the emperor's close minister is the third-rank Hanlin scholar Jiang Cheng's "frail and sickly" first wife, Li Mei.

Li Mei is also a person who has personally experienced two births. Although Aster was too flustered to speak in detail, Li Mei looked at Aster's appearance and thought for a while and guessed that there was something wrong with Si Yiniang.So he handed the girl in his arms to the nanny, and explained: "Aster is full of blood, I guess Zhiqi's place is not very good. Nanny Zhuang and bosom friend take Ruan'er and Chao'er back to Suixinyuan first, Zhihua went to look for Housekeeper Chen outside the second gate, and asked him to find someone to invite a doctor, and then told him to go to Yongchang Bo to inform the master, saying that the fourth aunt was about to give birth. Zhishu went to Songhetang to find the old lady, please invite her Madam Fu, Madam Fu is the most experienced in women's childbirth. Please ask her to come and suppress the battle."

After some explanations, he quickly walked to Qiu Yixuan where Si Yiniang was.When the fourth aunt was promoted to be a aunt, she was not very favored.Therefore, Qiuyixuan is in a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the mansion where ginkgo trees are planted to enjoy autumn.It is said that the courtyard is nothing more than three houses for people to rest in a ginkgo forest. Later, after the fourth aunt moved in, the house was surrounded by a low wall of about five feet and named Qiu Yixuan. , as the fourth aunt's residence.
