Tie Kui Fanwai (100)
Zeng Chenfu's due date is at the end of February. Before that, she had agreed with Mrs. Zeng that she would live in Uncle Anyang's mansion before giving birth. But after the first lunar month, Mrs. Zeng was still in office and did not return to Beijing.
Ning Zhan asked: "You are going to give birth in half a month, can your mother-in-law come?"
Master Pang and Master Zeng both work in Huzhou, but one is the magistrate and the other is the prefect, which is two levels behind. Because they were in the same place, the marriage between Uncle Pang's family and Zeng Miaojia was naturally arranged while he was in office. The wedding date of the two was set on December 16 last year. Mrs. Zeng, as the head of the house, rushed to organize the wedding last September.
Mrs. Zeng originally planned to send Zeng Miaojia to get married, and then stay in office for the New Year. After the Lantern Festival, she would return to the capital with her two sons. In this way, it was just in time for Zeng Chenfu to give birth. Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the marriage.
One month before the wedding, Uncle Pang's family went out to play with friends and somehow fell down a steep slope. After waking up from the coma, the doctor said that he should take good care of it for a while.
The Pang family means that the wedding will be held as usual. The uncle of the Pang family can't welcome the bride, so he can let his younger brother replace him. Mrs. Zeng had no objection, but Zeng Miaojia was unwilling. The elders of the Zeng family loved Zeng Miaojia, mother and daughter the most, and when they saw them crying miserably, they agreed to postpone the wedding for one month.
Zeng Chenfu smiled and said: "Mother wrote to me and said that she will return to the capital after my eldest sister returns home. I think it must be delayed by something on the way, and I should arrive in these two days!"
"I'm afraid something will go wrong again."
As the delivery approached, Zeng Chenfu felt a little uneasy. Although Mrs. Wen and her mother-in-law are very experienced, Mrs. Zeng can make her feel at ease by her side.
Zeng Chenfu hesitated and said, "If something goes wrong, my mother should write to me and tell me."
Ning Zhan said: "If my mother-in-law hasn't arrived in the past two days, I'll send someone to Huzhou to ask."
After two days, Mrs. Zeng still hadn't arrived in the capital. Ning Zhan was worried, and immediately sent someone to ask for news.
As a result, as soon as Uncle Anyang's people left the capital, they saw Zeng Chenfu's two younger brothers.
Now it's all right, there is no need to go to Henan to welcome the two uncles back directly.
Hearing what his younger brother said, Zeng Chenfu was very surprised: "Master Pang is abolished? Didn't it mean that he just fell down from a ditch, why did he break his leg and still not heal it?"
Uncle Zeng said vaguely: "Eldest sister, it's not that the legs are useless, it's that aspect that is useless."
Zeng Chenfu is about to become a mother now,
As soon as she heard this, she immediately understood: "Why did such a thing happen?" She had never met Uncle Pang's family, but she only heard from Mrs. Zeng that he was indeed a young man with good morals. If this kind of thing happens, the psychological endurance is not strong enough, and this life may be ruined.
The fifth master of the Zeng family said: "Eldest sister, in fact, Brother Pang is not useless. Dr. Qiao said that there is a cure, but it will take a while. It's just that the second sister yelled that Dr. Qiao was bribed by the Pang family and wanted to cheat her. Staying as a widow for a lifetime. Now this matter is causing a lot of trouble in Huzhou."
Zeng Chenfu's eldest brother died young, so he was not included in the subsequent rankings. And her second brother is the fifth in the same generation of Zeng's family. Because he is the second son and doesn't have to bear the heavy responsibility of inheriting the family business, he has a bit of a temper.
Zeng Chenfu looked at her elder brother,
The uncle of the Zeng family said: "Elder sister, Dr. Qiao is very skilled in medicine. Since he said that he can cure it, there will be no problem. It's just that the second sister doesn't believe it, and she made this matter worse."
Zeng Chenfu sneered, and said: "She didn't want to marry Uncle Pang's family at first, but now that she knows that he has health problems, she naturally wants to take the opportunity to make a fuss."
Uncle Zeng's family really didn't know about it: "She doesn't want to marry Uncle Pang's family? Then who does she want to marry?"
"She always likes to compare with me. Seeing that I married into the Earl's Mansion, she naturally wants to marry into a high-ranking family." But she didn't expect Zeng Miaojia to be so brainless, and make such a fuss after being married. The trouble made Pang's family angry, and she was the one who suffered in the end.
The fifth master of the Zeng family said disdainfully when he heard this: "She doesn't even look in the mirror to see how she can compare to you, eldest sister." The most important thing is that he was also admitted to the Wenhua Hall and won the favor of the empress. On the other hand, Zeng Miaojia has nothing but a face to see.
Zeng Chenfu asked, "Didn't this matter be resolved before you came?"
Uncle Zeng understood now, and said with a sneer, "Don't blame her for making a fuss about reconciling, that's how it is. But I don't even think about it, what kind of good family can she find after remarrying." The two brothers, neither I like Zeng Miaojia.
Zeng Chenfu said: "Reconcile? She really dares to think about it. If she reconciles, it will definitely affect the marriage of other younger sisters. Will grandfather and grandfather agree to this matter?"
But Fifth Master Zeng said: "It's hard to say. If father agrees to her reconciliation, it's useless for grandparents to object." After all, the distance is too far away, and the emperor is far away, and old master Zeng is beyond his reach.
Seeing that Zeng Chenfu frowned, Uncle Zeng said: "Elder Sister, you can take care of your baby and leave the family affairs alone. No matter how much Dad spoils her, he will definitely not agree to divorce." Even if the divorce has influence, It doesn't affect their brothers either. As for Zeng Chenfu, she is already married, let alone involved.
Zeng Chenfu said: "Since Mother hasn't come back, you should live in the mansion first. When Mother comes back, you can move back."
The uncle of the Zeng family shook his head and said, "It's too far away from the academy, it's inconvenient to go back and forth."
"Eldest sister, we are all grown-ups who can take good care of ourselves. Eldest sister, you should take good care of your baby and give me a white and fat nephew." He was looking forward to the upcoming nephew.
Seeing that the two younger brothers insisted on going back, Zeng Chenfu stopped them again. After all, studies matter.
In the evening, Ning Zhan knew about it when he came back: "Mother-in-law may not be able to return to Beijing in a short time." If this matter is not handled properly, Mrs. Zeng will not be able to return to the capital.
Zeng Chenfu sighed and said: "If she really reconciles and divorces, the marriages of those younger sisters in the family will be affected." Those who are engaged are lucky to say that the future marriages of those who are not engaged will have to wait.
"It's useless for you to worry about it." After finishing speaking, Ning Zhan said, "I don't worry about you being alone at home. I'll ask my second sister to come and stay for a while!"
Zeng Chenfu said: "Second sister has to take care of her brother-in-law and two children, so how can she go back to her mother's house for such a long time. Don't worry, Mama Tang and the others have experience."
Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "How can this be the same? If something happens, they can't make the decision. Don't always think that it's not good to bother the second sister. Your brothers and sisters don't have to be so polite. In the future, if the second sister has something to do with the second brother-in-law, I will definitely do it too." To help."
Zeng Chenfu was actually a little uncertain, and she didn't object after hearing this: "There is still about a month until the due date, so don't worry."
Ning Zhan didn't want to wait, because the expected date of delivery was not accurate. Like Ruyi and Ruhui, both gave birth half a month in advance. So the next day, he went to find Ruhui.
When Ruhui heard that she was asked to go back to Uncle Anyang's mansion to take care of Zeng Chenfu, she asked strangely, "Didn't it be agreed before that Mrs. Zeng would accompany the siblings when they gave birth?"
Ning Zhan smiled wryly and said, "Something happened to Zeng's family. My mother-in-law may not be able to return to the capital before Chenfu gives birth. Second sister, I have to trouble you for this matter." If you plan well, who knows what will happen like that trouble.
Ruhui didn't ask what was the matter: "Aren't you asking for punishment for saying this? When your brother-in-law comes back in the evening, I will tell him. But the siblings are not born so quickly, and I will go back in a few days."
Ning Zhan said: "You and eldest sister both gave birth early, and I'm afraid that Fu'er will also give birth early. Second sister, you can go there after the family affairs are arranged! Otherwise, I won't feel at ease in the palace." I'm afraid to hear News of Zeng Chenfu's early delivery.
Ruhui smiled and said, "Okay, then I will take the child back in two days."
When Meng Ranxi found out, she said, "Tomorrow, I'll tell you about it with my grandmother." If the old lady refuses, he can come forward to intercede.
"No, I can take care of it." There's no need for Meng Ranxi to come forward for such a trivial matter.
On the morning of the second day, Ruhui took her two children to greet Mrs. Meng. At this time, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng were both there, as well as several other sisters-in-law. Among them, the daughter-in-laws of Meng Ranxi's two concubine brothers were also included.
Ruhui had nothing to avoid, she told Mrs. Meng in front of everyone in the room that she would go back to her mother's house to take care of her sister-in-law who was about to give birth.
After finishing speaking, Ruhui said: "Grandmother also knows that my mother has gone to Tongcheng, and now my sister-in-law is at home and there is no other person in charge. My younger brother was so worried that he asked me to go back to my mother's house to stay with her for a while. "
Mrs. Meng frowned and said, "Your brother-in-law has such a big birth, why doesn't your mother come back?" I have never seen such a big-hearted mother-in-law.
"My mother was going to come back, but my younger brother thought it would be better for my father to take care of her when he was older, so he didn't let her come back. It was agreed before that when my younger siblings gave birth, Mrs. Zeng would go to take care of them. It’s just that something happened to the Zeng family, and Mrs. Zeng can’t come back before my younger siblings give birth.” After speaking, Ruhui smiled and said, “Before the Xianggong’s test, my younger brother begged the young master of the Lan family to let him go to the Lan family to study. Now My sister-in-law is going to give birth to someone who is not in charge of the family, how can I stand by and watch." Brothers and sisters, don't they just help each other when they are in trouble.
Now that we have talked about this, how can Mrs. Meng refuse: "How long will it take?"
"I'll come back after the child has been baptized three times." If the child doesn't come back before the full moon, she has to organize a full moon banquet. But don't worry about it, we'll talk about it later.
"What did Ran Xi say?"
Hearing that Meng Ranxi agreed, Mrs. Meng didn't object even if she felt unhappy: "The child will come back after the three baptisms, otherwise, it will be like leaving Ranxi alone at home."
Even if these words are not very pleasant to hear, but the goal has been achieved, Ruhui is still in a good mood.
Two days later, Ruhui took her children back to Uncle Anyang's mansion. Although I only brought clothes and daily necessities, I packed twelve large boxes.
Mrs. Meng San curled her lips when she knew about it: "Those who don't know think she has moved!"
Grandma Meng Wu was rubbing Mrs. Meng San's shoulders when she heard this and lowered her eyes. If it was her, let alone twelve suitcases, if she brought two suitcases, she would be suspected by her mother-in-law and took things to supplement her mother's family.
Thinking of this, Grandma Meng Wu also wanted to do some business to make money. With living money in hand, you don't need to ask for help when you encounter problems, let alone look at your mother-in-law's face.
