It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 113

The capital city is not like the south of the Yangtze River. It is just the beginning of spring in March. The plum blossoms are gradually falling and the willow buds are beginning to turn yellow.The eldest girl and the second girl have been impatient to stay in the house for a whole winter, and the weather is getting warmer. Zhou Ting no longer restrains them, and takes a bunch of girls and women to the waterside pavilion to enjoy the spring.

"Er Niang, hurry up, hurry up!" The big girl pulled her younger sister and ran ahead, still wearing short fur clothes of purple lambswool, her voice was clear and clear like a swallow that had just stood on a branch.

Zhou Ting followed slowly, with one hand on her waist and the other on the agate hand, and she responded with a smile: "Run slower, be careful not to knock." Pregnant women are more afraid of heat than ordinary people, and several children They were all still wearing purple lambskin wool, and she only wore a cloak and felt dizzy from the afternoon sun.

The lake was already frozen, and the woman who was waiting there saw the big girl and the second girl arrived, and hurriedly drove a group of ducklings into the water. The green-haired blue-winged duck followed the big duck in a line and jumped into the water, fluttering its wings, and the children screamed in shock.

Yinzhen obeyed the filial piety strictly according to the standard. Not only were no Qingxi opera wines allowed on birthdays, but he didn’t even make a big fuss on several festivals, not to mention that he didn’t set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. During the Lantern Festival, he only hung some plain glass lamps in the corridor. Aside from entering the palace and wearing fresh clothes for New Year's greetings, the children usually have no fun at home. It was Yinzhen who ordered two little rabbit lanterns to come back, and lit them up on the night of the Lantern Festival for the big girl and the second girl to pull the strings. play.

At this time, there is no one who doesn't like the green-feathered duck splashing in the water. The big girl rushed to chase after it, but was hugged by the nanny: "Ge Ge can't go into the water."

"Big sister, ducks have wings, but you don't. You won't be able to float up if you fall." Hongshi put his hands behind his back, walked steadily, and told his sister the principles of children in a serious manner. Zhou Ting heard his words as soon as she stepped into the water pavilion , covered her mouth with a handkerchief and was about to laugh, Pian Hongshi looked at her and asked, "Is that what Er Niang said?"

Zhou Ting quickly coughed to hide her laughter, nodded and pointed at the big girl: "My brother is right, sit back quickly, just watch and don't make trouble."

Hongshi straightened up his chest immediately, with a proud face, the big girl wrinkled her nose at him, and then came to pester Zhou Ting: "Tell Fenjing to get one and come and play."

"That's impossible, ducks are supposed to stay in the water." Zhou Ting nodded her little nose: "Ask Fen Jing to fold a wicker for you, you can play with the ducklings with that, but you are not allowed to hit them. "

"I know, Ama bought them, I won't open them." The big girl immediately nodded her head, ever since Yinzhen bought her a rabbit lamp once, she thought that Ama bought it for her.

Da Gege covered his mouth and smiled, pointed to the flower arrangement and told Er Niu: "This is Baohua Magnolia, and that is Crimson Claw Hibiscus." Da Gege was older than them, with long black hair tied in a braid behind his head, She is a big girl, even if she keeps filial piety, her clothes are much more stylish than the big girl Erniu. Erniu leans on her to see the little emerald pearls in her hair.

Zhou Ting pushed her: "Why don't you play with my sister?" Er Niu can wink and act like a baby better than Da Niu. She likes these things since she was a child, but Zhou Ting doesn't give them to her alone. Niu definitely has it too.

Er Niu flattened her mouth: "I like small birds, the yellow ones." She glanced at Zhou Ting, knowing that it would not be so easy for her to conform to her, her pink and tender face wrinkled, and she pouted and turned her head. On the other hand, she twisted her body: "I'll ask Ama." Zhou Ting looked helpless with her.

Zhou Ting was so angry that she stretched out her hand to pinch her face, she quickly ran to the big girl, Fen Jing hurried over with a small stick, and the three of them each branched out from the window and hung on the water to stir it up and left it in the water side ducks.

The children were very active in playing everything, the little girls gathered around, tied up a boat with colored paper and put it on the lake and pushed it towards the center of the lake, Pink Crystal coaxed the second girl: "Don't look at the small boat, you can't light the lights at night. Let’s put it, the water is full of boat lights, it’s so beautiful.”

These words could coax the younger sister but not the elder sister. The eldest girl used a wicker to poke the water for a while. She was small and weak, and hit the duck with a thin wicker several times. The mallard flapped its wings forward and flew away. A paragraph ended in the middle of the lake, the big girl couldn't catch the duck and threw the wicker away, losing her temper.

Agate hurriedly asked someone to bring in a copper basin, filled it with water, and asked a servant woman to catch a duckling that hadn't fully grown. The big girl pouted and was still not satisfied. They are beautiful, but if you catch a big one, you are afraid that it will peck the child's hand.

Pearl coaxed her: "Those big ones with blue hair should keep their hair and make shuttlecocks for Ge Ge to play with."

The big girl was happy now, and stretched out Xu Hongshi's hand to touch the duckling's fur. The two of them were cautious at first, but after a while, the water was splashed out, the shoes were wet, and the hem of the big girl's skirt was also wet. sides.

This day her clothes got wet and she was still going to get sick. Zhou Ting had a headache and pointed to the girl to go back and get her shoes and socks to change for these two. Da Gege smiled and brought tea to Zhou Ting: "Er Niang, drink tea." .”

Zhou Ting took it and took a sip, complaining in her heart that Yinzhen depended on her daughter for everything, she wanted everything for her at such a young age, and whenever she was unhappy, she would go to Ama, but Yinzhen still depended on her.

As a result, although the maids in the house behaved in front of Zhou Ting, there was nothing against Er Niu behind her back. She dismissed one of them severely, and Er Niu cried all day, but Yinzhen still felt that she was too strict.I don't even think about seeing old people at the age of three. At this time, it is time to raise her well. It is useless for her to be strict alone.

Just thinking in this way, Yinzhen came in: "What are you talking about so lively?" Da Ge quickly stood up to greet him, Er Niu rushed over when she heard his voice, and leaned her head on his shoulder: "Ama Ama , I want a little bird.” Yinzhen wrapped her around him like a twisted candy, hugged her to his lap, and immediately nodded and agreed: “Okay, Ama asked someone to do it, how many do you want?”

"Five, one for me, one for my older sister, one for my elder sister, one for my second brother, and one for my third brother." Er Niu counted her fingers, including Hong Yun who hadn't finished school yet, she said Looking at Zhou Ting cleverly.

"You used someone else as a raft again. Why is this girl so weird?" Zhou Ting reached out and nodded her, and Yinzhen hurriedly spoke to her: "Er Niu still thinks about her brothers and sisters, not just for herself." He bowed his head as he spoke. Tease her: "Isn't it?"

Er Niu looked like she shook her head and said, "I didn't want it just for myself." After speaking, she stretched out both arms to hook Yin Zhen: "Here, Ama give me the little bird."

After saying this sentence, she blinked her eyes and leaned closer to Yinzhen's ear, lowered her voice and whispered to Yinzhen: "I want yellow ones, red mouth ones." It means that except for hers, everything can't be yellow.

Zhou Ting was angry and funny, and Yinzhen agreed straightforwardly: "Okay, just give Erniu a yellow one, so that Erniu can think of her brothers and sisters."

She didn't say a word, so she helped her daughter think of the reason first, and now Zhou Ting's face couldn't stand anymore. Pearl came in with a snack, and the second girl obediently climbed down from Yinzhen's lap as she wished, and stood up. It's decided to wait for Fenjing to wipe her hands and face so that she can get some snacks.

The big girl Hongshi changed her clothes and came back. Several children held a bowl of almond dew in their hands and sat on the small scorpion and ate slowly. A piece of the almond milk that she was eating happened to float into it, and she held the small bowl high for Zhou Ting to see, her eyes were full of surprises.

Yinzhen touched Zhou Ting's hand: "Look at you wearing less clothes and your hands are not cold, why don't you eat a bowl, don't you always feel hungry?"

"That's too hot, eat it when it's cold." As soon as Yinzhen sat next to her, she habitually leaned over. She was burdened too much now, with a pillow behind her, she still felt like her waist was about to break. of.

Yinzhen knew her temper, she would never drink the tea soup that the girl blew cold in her mouth for snacks. It was not time to take out the fan at this time, and Yinzhen took Zhou Ting's bowl in her hand, holding the spoon in her hand. Stir it inside, try it and say: "It's already warm, try it."

As soon as Zhou Ting took a mouthful, her stomach moved violently, pulling her waist, making her swallow the contents in a hurry, her waist was so stiff that she couldn't let go.

Everything is born once and familiarized twice, and having children is similar.As soon as there was some pain on her face, Yinzhen noticed: "But it's about to start?"

Zhou Ting herself was also surprised. According to the date, there are still more than ten days left. She smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled: "Maybe the child turned over inside, and the movement is a bit loud."

Er Niu was chewing flower cakes. She knew that Erniang had a little brother in her belly, and she also hoped that it was a little brother. Hearing Zhou Ting's words, she quickly threw the flower cakes over: "Is my brother coming out?"

The children all stared at Zhou Ting's big belly in awe, and Hongshi kept his face tight: "Does he want to play with ducklings too?" The big girl hurried over to touch Zhou Ting's belly, and patted it lightly: "Come out quickly!" , come out to play with ducklings for you."

Zhou Ting laughed uncontrollably, and the movement in this smile became even bigger. Her complexion changed, and she knew that this time it was really activated early, so she hurriedly grabbed Yinzhen's hand: "Quick, hurry up!" Sister Wusu gets ready."

Fortunately, the things were prepared early, but this time there were a few small messes around her. Here, Yinzhen helped Zhou Ting to hug her back, while the second girl at the bottom grabbed Zhou Ting's skirt and wanted to lift it up: "Did my brother come out? Where is it?"

The nanny went forward and hugged each other, Yinzhen carried Zhou Ting all the way into the main courtyard, followed by Manao with her legs to chase, Pearl stayed behind and looked at the little ones to comfort them, and said to them, "Come out soon." "It's over", "Master, you need to prepare well", and hurriedly sent the little girl to inquire.

Yinzhen ran and hugged Zhou Ting, wanting to hurry but was afraid of bumping her, he rushed all the way, and sent her to the main courtyard without breathing, Zhou Ting hugged his neck in surprise, just thought In fact, she was not in too much pain, she could walk this way by herself, she stopped talking again, put her face on his shoulder, and enjoyed the princess hug with a smile.

Aunt Wusu and Manao who were following behind looked at each other, just about to raise her voice to remind her, but she stopped again, a group of maids held back their smiles and watched the master carry Fujin back to the room.

Who said that the second child is much better than the first child, Zhou Ting is still uncomfortable, her stomach is throbbing, this dishonest child has caused her to suffer a lot since she was first conceived, and it is still there after five or six months. Throwing up, there is only one in the stomach, and it is thinner than when I was pregnant with the second girl, and it took six months to eat a good meal.

Zhou Ting really vomited after eating, vomited and ate again, and forced her to stuff it in. Yinzhen knew that this pregnancy was difficult for her, so she took care of her even more. The food she liked to eat in the previous pregnancy was prepared early this time. But she just couldn't eat anymore, so Yinzhen even made two trips to the imperial hospital specifically for her to eat something to strengthen her body.

At this time, Agate took off her clothes, and all the windows in the house were closed. The stove in the small kitchen in the main courtyard was filled with copper pots.

When the sky was getting dark, there was no confirmation letter inside, and it seemed that the baby would not be born today, so Yinzhen went to the two daughters' rooms in person, the eldest girl and the second girl had already finished their meal, this was the first time they encountered such a thing Son, I was still a little scared, seeing Ama came and all snuggled up to her, Yinzhen sat on the kang and patted each other, muttering incessantly: "Wait a little longer, mother-in-law will give birth to a little brother."

From time to time there were small groans coming from the main room, Er Niu sniffled: "Where is Er Niang? I want Er Niang."

The eldest girl and the second girl couldn't sleep well, and just being patted and coaxed by the nanny to squint their eyes, there was another noise in the room over there. Yinzhen was standing in the yard, the night wind blowing on his body was cool, and the little girl The girl came out from inside and gave him a cloak, saying it was Zhou Ting's order, and he held the cloak still. Su Peisheng just went over to persuade him, saying that the childbirth was not so fast, and the midwife was "working hard" inside. shout.

Yinzhen paced back and forth in the yard, and waited until the sky turned slightly pale, and then there was a loud cry from the main room, and the midwife's words "It's a little elder brother" could be heard even in the yard, Yinzhen Zhen stood still at once, and Su Peisheng hurried forward to congratulate him, speaking louder than anyone else.

The smile on Yinzhen's face widened and he said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, thank you!" He raised his leg and was about to go in to see Zhou Ting, but was stopped by Madam Wusu: "Master is standing by the door, little elder brother Clean it up and bring it to you, this room must never be entered."

Yinzhen was also confused, he didn't feel tired at all at this time, his whole body seemed to be full of strength, the little eunuch brought a pair of small bows and arrows to hang up, and he took them himself, the crumpled clothes The bright red baby cried a few times before being carried in.

Zhou Ting was exhausted, but she was still ordering through the window: "Give me a bowl of milk, it's not good to be sleepy after walking, and I have to go to court." He couldn't sleep, and when he heard Zhou Ting speak, he hurriedly told: "You sleep for a while and eat something." I didn't know what to say.

Zhou Ting squinted her eyes and smiled slightly. Fortunately, this one was her son. She hadn't thought about it yet, and she was already fast asleep the next moment.
