The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 298

Ever since the Grand Master was promoted, the position of governor of Jiangnan has been vacant all year round, and the Li family has been transferred away for a long time.On the contrary, Zhu Zongbing has always taken root in the south of the Yangtze River, and some of Xu Fengjia's old subordinates in the Taihu Lake area also stayed there.Quan Zhongbai has a lot of things to do, and he has no time to deal with them. Xu Fengjia explained to the family that Qiniang's body is heavy and it is inconvenient to socialize. He declined.

Seeing that the weather was warm, Qin Niangzi had an idea and took her two children to play in Baifang Garden.It was just February, and because of the warm weather, many flowers were blooming, and the garden was full of warblers, flying swallows, singing birds and fragrant flowers.Shiro and Goro are used to living in the small gardens in the capital, are they dazzled when they come in?Immediately, she was about to climb the rockery, Seventh Lady hurriedly stopped and said, "Go to the Yuelai Hall first, and see where your mother used to live."

So I took the children into the Yuelai Pavilion: because after Wu Niangzi, no one lived here, so there was nothing to see except a big fig tree and an old yellow cat.Seventh Lady gave a rough introduction outside the door. This is the place where the deceased mother used to live, and there is her bedroom...

Since all the furniture was moved to the capital for storage, the rest of the Yuelai Hall were nothing more than a few empty rooms.Shiro and Goro looked bored, so Goro went to tease the old yellow cat under the tree. The old yellow cat meowed, but came to rub Qin Niangzi's shoes.

Qin Niangzi looked at it, but remembered the past, and for a while, her voice became distant. "This is the colorful tiger raised by Fifth Sister! I don't want it to have changed for so many years, but it is still there."

Sure enough, Banlanhu also recognized Guyu and Vernal Equinox, and was very affectionate to the two of them, before slowly jumping onto the fig tree.

The two girls naturally sighed for a while, and Qin Niangzi pointed again, "Do the math, Fifth Sister was adopted when she was eight years old, and this year she will be 21... 13 years old."

Silang and Wulang heard that it was the cat raised by Wu Niangzi, so they became interested and started yelling around the colorful tiger. Fortunately, the old cat had a good temper and the children didn't move too much, so they played vigorously.Qin Niangzi saw it in her eyes, smiled slightly, turned away and wiped her eyes again.

Xu Fengjia didn't speak, but put his hand on Qinianzi's shoulder.

Seventh Lady leaned into his arms and said in a low voice, "If parents want to sell Baifangyuan in the future, let's buy it."

After a pause, he continued, "Bury a stone tablet in every courtyard, writing who lived here and what happened to him... When you come to the museum this month, you must write that it was named after a fig tree and once lived here. A young lady from the Yang family... write some words that the children want to say to Fifth Sister."

Xu Fengjia said in a low voice, "Okay."

After a pause, he continued, "Then let's go into Xiaoxiangxue and write the story of your sixth sister. A concubine who became a noble concubine in the palace is indeed somewhat of a legend."

Seventh Lady knew that Xu Fengjia was trying to make her happy, but she still couldn't help smiling, and said to the two children, "Go and see Xiao Xiangxue, I don't know if Meihua has thanked her now." Xu Fengjia ordered someone to carry the small warm sedan chair, seven The lady got into the sedan chair, and the group of people slowly walked all the way from Wanhualiu to Xiaoxiangxue.

Qin Niangzi pointed out all the way, "This is Jidi residence. Your uncle used to live here to study. There are Baiyujin and Jubaxian. Baiyujinli often visits peony, and Jubaxian is Qionghua. Ah, Xikefang—— —Did you see the lotus leaf? Your three aunts and four aunts lived there before."

"There are still thousands of flowers floating around, we are rowing inside. Qilixiang... oh, little Xiangxue has arrived." Qin Niangzi smelled a section of plum fragrance from a distance, and the two children had already rushed to the front, and they were both surprised, "This garden It’s really big! It’s much bigger than the little Cuijin at home!”

Xiao Xiangxue's yard was naturally locked, and Qiniangzi just got out of the sedan chair and only looked at the plum blossoms. All the plum trees in this area had bloomed, only a few plum blossoms had not yet bloomed.The children cheered again—discovering the swing in Merlin.

Goro was about to swing, he jumped up, but immediately jumped off: The hemp rope has not been changed for several years since Liu Niangzi came to Beijing, and the wind and rain have long been unable to bear it.As soon as Goro jumped up, one side opened, and if he hadn't been quick, he would have almost fallen.

After enjoying it for a while, they went out from the west again and passed the Changqing Building all the way. Seventh Lady ordered someone to open the door again, and took the children into the south side courtyard for a walk.Then turn around from Zhuyingtai, and then take the children into Yuyuxuan.Mother Dong opened the door of Yuyuxuan early and arranged it for everyone to rest inside.

Qin Niangzi was also a little tired after this trip.The children were not tired, they pestered Qiniangzi and listened to her tell a few short stories in Yuyuxuan, and then roared out again, this time they couldn't be stopped anymore, they were going to climb the rockery.Grain Rain and Spring Equinox came out in a hurry, yelling after them, asking the little ancestor to be safe.Qin Niangzi dozed off for a while, and when she opened it again, Lixia Shangyuan didn't know where she had gone. She only saw Xu Fengjia standing in the yard, admiring a pear blossom with her hands behind her back.

This year's weather is warm, and the pear blossoms bloom early. At this time, there is already a whole yard of snow.Seventh Lady became very playful, and tiptoed to Xu Fengjia's side, picked a pear blossom, and put it in his ear.Xu Fengjia smiled slightly, held her hand, and said softly, "I thought you were going to fall asleep, and I was wondering if I should wake you up."

Qin Niangzi said with a smile, "What are you thinking? Could it be that you are afraid of my dystocia again?"

Although this person is a hero, he is very afraid of the word childbirth. When it is mentioned, his complexion turns pale, especially when Quan Zhongbai said that she is prone to dystocia. As her belly gets bigger, Xu Fengjia sometimes even feels embarrassed when she thinks about it Then the color changes.Although Qin Niangzi herself was also afraid, she was not as worried as he was.

Xu Fengjia frowned and said, "This fact is really unpredictable..."

Indeed, giving birth at that time was a step between life and death, and once a childbirth was difficult, it was easy to kill two people.Not to mention the various changes that will occur during the confinement period, especially whether it will be dystocia, it is indeed impossible to completely predict it with current medical skills. It is not uncommon for Xu Fengjia to worry about this.Even if Quan Ruiyun gave birth in the twelfth lunar month, Quan Zhongbai personally took charge of it, and suffered a lot, and the dangerous people did not keep it.This frightened Brother Nine and Xu Fengjia's courage. This time, if Brother Nine hadn't had to end the scientific examination, he would have wished to come to Guangzhou with him.

But Qin Niangzi has already figured it out: she tried her best to scientifically raise the fetus according to the habits of later generations, and now the fetus does not seem to be too big, if it is difficult to give birth and die, that is, God will accept her.

"I've been through so many difficulties since I was a child." She smiled and comforted Xu Fengjia, "Is it possible that I can't get through this last difficulty? Are you underestimating me?"

Xu Fengjia was noncommittal, hummed, and Qin Niangzi said again, "Besides, I won't be reconciled to breaking the last hurdle. Most likely, I still have to ask for another chance and do it all over again. I will survive for the rest of my life, just waiting After giving birth, stop living and start living. God will not make things difficult for me!"

Perhaps it was her confident demeanor that also infected Xu Fengjia. The major general's face turned pale, and he reverted to his old ways, laughing at Qin Niangzi. "You want to survive? You want to survive even if you have rich clothes and good food. Those frontier people in the northwest are just trying to survive!"

Seventh Lady smiled slightly, she didn't bother to talk to him, she just leaned on Xu Fengjia's shoulder and smiled, "Do you still remember what you asked me here?"

She used to be very unhappy. For her, life was just a suffering that must be suffered in survival.Once she wanted to give up and use death to end the seemingly never-ending fighting and struggle. Once she wanted to escape, to live in a numb peach blossom garden, to demand herself with a flesh and blood mistress, and to be content with loneliness.

Even now, her life is still gray, she has not enjoyed the joy of life, the taste of youth, she is already preparing for a childbirth, and she is not sure of winning this battle.

Even if she survives, her future is still full of regrets and unknowns. The Xu family is deeply trapped in the political center, and wealth must be sought in danger. In the future, the Yang family, the Sun family, the Niu family... countless political storms will not break out, and perhaps one of them will belong to the Xu family. Burial place.There are also the eldest wife, the fourth young lady, the queen in the palace, Concubine Niu Shu...all of them are her or her relatives' enemies.

Moreover, she always felt that she hadn't begun to understand Xu Fengjia, and she had been too busy in the past few days.Or the two still don't quite fit together, and after going through the days of helping each other and fighting against each other, as they get to know each other better, they will share the same bed, have different dreams, and fight in the same room...

But suddenly at this moment, Xu Fengjia hugged her from behind, and asked softly in her ear, "Yang Qi, then...have you ever liked me?"

His voice was hoarse and low, and his tone was full of laughter.

At this moment, Qin Niangzi felt an unspeakable warmth in her heart.She knows that there are still decades to come, let her learn to love someone calmly, and let her and Xu Fengjia get to know each other slowly.

All the storms have passed, and in the future, she will not only survive, but also have a life waiting for her to unfold.

She smiled and said, "Xu Fengjia, I plan to spend the rest of my life answering your question."
