Chapter 198 Happy Events (Part 2)
Mrs. Ye went to Prince Jing's Mansion and brought back good news that Concubine Song had given birth.
Zisu lowered her voice and said, "Girl, I heard that the baby is a boy." When the baby is born, it will be King Jing's eldest son, and his status is different.
Yuxi was not surprised at all that Song Ling'er would be pregnant. In her previous life, Yuchen's son was the eldest son of Prince Jing's Mansion, but she was more interested in how Song Ling'er got pregnant.
Zisu shook her head and said, "I didn't find out about that."
Yu Xi said: "Don't inquire about it for the time being." This matter is more sensitive, and it is definitely not possible to inquire outside, and it is completely unnecessary to inquire in the mansion. Song Ling'er's pregnancy has been five months, and the baby is already formed. It is not easy for her to abort.
But Yu Xi knew the reason from Qiu Shi that afternoon. Qiu Shi said: "Song Concubine Song's pregnancy was actually impossible to keep, so she wanted to frame Yuchen. In the end, it didn't work out, but King Jing knew the truth." The reason why Song Ling'er was able to conceive was by means . After she married King Jing, King Jing rarely visited her room. In order to conceive a child before Yuchen married into the palace, Song Ling'er took drugs to enhance the fun. Because she was conceived with medicine, the fetus was very unstable, and the imperial doctor took great pains to let her live for three months. As a result, on the night Yuchen married into King Jing's mansion, she pretended to have a stomachache and tried to trick King Jing into her yard, preparing to make things difficult for Yuchen. Unexpectedly, Yuchen also came over, but seeing the scene of King Jing and Yuchen loving and tacit understanding, the fake came true, and the fetus was really moved.
After hearing this, Yuxi somehow remembered the gossip that the maid told her back then, saying that if cousins and sisters get married, they are prone to miscarriage and cannot keep the child, and even if they keep the child, they may have defects or physical problems very bad. At that time, the gossip was circulating outside. It happened that there were two children of a cousin who happened to be a married couple, one deaf-mute and the other mentally retarded.
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Yu Xi said: "The imperial physician concealed the real situation from her?" With Song Linger's identity, it is not impossible to force the imperial physician to conceal the real situation.
Song Linger's idea is quite vicious. Once Yuchen is charged with murdering his heir, he may have to fall into the abyss and never turn over. It's a pity that the calculation was good, what she didn't expect was that Yuchen had already installed people in the palace before he married. As for Song's side concubine's pregnancy instability, Yuchen knew about it not long after she married into the palace, and just stood still, waiting for Song Ling'er to make a move. No, he caught the current situation as soon as he made a move.
Qiu Shi nodded and said: "Speaking of which, the third girl is indeed very smart, you should learn more from her in the future." Not only did Yuchen expose the concubine Song's plot, which made King Jing completely bored, but also let the imperial physician find her out. Pregnant, this method is not available to ordinary people.
Yuxi smiled and nodded.
Back in Taoranju, Yuxi called Quanmao, and told her about the gossip she heard in her previous life: "Mama, do you think this is true?" The fragrance is for external use, not for internal use, and the possibility of harming the fetus is not too great. If this gossip is true, the concubine Song's fetal instability should be the reason why she and King Jing are cousins.
Sister Quan is not that kind of stubborn person. After listening to Yuxi's words, she thought about it seriously and said: "As far as I know, those cousins who are married to each other seem to be more difficult than others in terms of offspring." She has heard of several cases of poor health of aborted children. As for children with defects, she had never heard of them. This is mainly because everyone is very superstitious. If you give birth to a defective child, people around you will think that it is God's retribution or punishment for your family. Therefore, once a child is born with a defect, it will be dealt with in private, and then said to the outside world that the child will die on the ground.
Yuxi kept this matter in her heart.
Although there is no basis for it, Mammy Quan also feels that there is some truth to this statement,
So Aunt Quan asked in surprise, "Miss, where did you hear such words?"
Yuxi shook her head and said: "I don't remember, I read it from a book a few years ago. This time I heard mother talk about the concubine Song's concubine giving birth, and I don't know why I remembered it."
Sister Quan didn't pursue it either. Anyway, Yuxi has a lot of secrets, so it's not surprising that there is one more: "It's good for the girl to know about it, don't tell it to the outside world." Tell people close to her, such as Qiu Shi It's all right to say it. But if you tell the outside world, it is easy to be attacked.
Yuxi smiled and said, "I won't tell the outside world." This kind of thing has no factual basis at all, and no one will believe it if it is said, and they will think she is talking nonsense. How could she do such a thankless thing.
In a blink of an eye, another half month passed, and it was mid-April. Zisu looked at Yuxi reading there with peace of mind, and said, "Girl, second master Chen is going to have a palace examination tomorrow?" Zisu was reminding Yuxi to show concern for second master Chen.
Yuxi smiled and put down the book, and said: "What's wrong with the palace test tomorrow? The second Gongshi, the score in the palace test will not be bad." As long as Chen Ran is not stage frightened in the palace test, he will definitely not be bad at the first grade. With Chen Ran's background, if he had stage fright during the palace exam, it would be worse than failing the exam. Of course, even with Chen Ran's personality, he wouldn't be stage frightened.
Zisu was about to cry, she had never seen someone who was so indifferent to her fiancé: "Girl, when you get to the Chen family, you can no longer behave like this."
Zijin brought up the pastry that Mrs. Guo had just made, put it on the table next to Yuxi, and said to Zisu, "Sister Zisu, don't worry about it, girls behave properly." They all wondered, she only left the house for a few years, why sister Zisu has become so nagging.
Perilla gas knot.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Zijin immediately ran into the kitchen: "I'll help Aunt Guo with the cooking." To say helping the cook is more like learning how to cook. Maybe it's because she is in charge of three meals a day on the mountain. Zijin has a great interest in cooking now, and she wants to learn it well so that she won't be disliked for her poor cooking skills in the future. Aunt Guo is not a stingy person either. Seeing that Zijin is willing to learn, she also teaches very seriously.
Yuxi looked at Zisu whose face was distorted, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chen Ran will definitely win the top one." She still has confidence in Chen Ran.
Zisu really has nothing to say.
Yuxi didn't want Zisu to chatter anymore, so she immediately changed the subject and asked, "When will the Jiang family come to make an appointment?" Once the engagement is made, the marriage will be considered completely settled. Of course, there are also people who go back on their word after making an engagement, but this kind of situation is very rare.
Zisu is most interested in this kind of thing: "It's a coincidence that it will be tomorrow. The girl doesn't know, since the Jiang family came to propose marriage, the fifth girl and the maids around her have become the same as before." The Jiang family's family background, as well as Jiang Hongjin's appearance and talent, are no worse than Chen Ran in all aspects. After getting such a good marriage, Yurong felt that she would be reliable for life, so some things couldn't be suppressed. With Yu Rong like this, the maids around her were naturally also affected. Fortunately, these people also know that Tao Ranju's people are not easy to mess with, so even if they do, they dare not bully Tao Ranju's people.
When Yuxi heard this, she smiled, and said: "It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the nature." At that time, she still wanted to disturb this marriage, and she didn't know if she was out of her mind at that time. If he really messed up this marriage, not only would he not be appreciated by Yurong, but he would definitely be hated by her for a lifetime. I really can't do such a stupid thing in the future.
The results of the palace examination don't have to wait for the next day, they will come out that day. Regarding Chen Ran being named Tanhua Lang, Yuxi only felt that it was true, no amount of feeling would be gone.
Qiu couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and hurriedly asked people to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Yu Xi hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mother, it is a great joy for the Chen family that Chen Ran was selected as Tan Hualang. If our family sets off firecrackers, we will not be laughed at." Although her son-in-law is half, she Haven't entered the door of Chen's house yet!
Qiu patted Yu Xi's pocket, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will do as you said." To have a son-in-law who is Tan Hua Lang, really looks good!
After staying with Qiu Shi for a long time, Yu Xi returned to Tao Ranju. Arriving at Tao Ranju, the smile on Yuxi's face immediately disappeared, and she looked worried.
Zisu hurriedly asked: "Girl, what's the matter with you?" My uncle named Tanhualang, shouldn't it be a very happy thing!
With a heavy heart, Yu Xi said, "The No. 1 scholar belongs to Yu Xiang's family, the second place belongs to Song Guifei's family, Tanhua Lang belongs to Taining Hou Chen's family, and Chuanlu belongs to Jiang's family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials." Knowing what this meant, but now she was terrified.
Zisu didn't understand: "What's wrong?"
Yuxi didn't explain it to Zisu, and Zisu wouldn't understand if she said it: "Go and ask Quan Momo to come over." We can still communicate with Quan Momo.
After hearing what Yu Xi said, Sister Quan asked calmly, "What do you want to say?" Such a thing is not unusual for Sister Quan.
Yuxi smiled wryly. She had heard Han Jianming say that the government was corrupt, but she never thought it would come to this point. The imperial examination is a major event of the imperial court, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foundation of a country. After all, most of the future national pillars will be selected from within. There was a problem with the imperial examination, and the entire court program was about to collapse: "Why did the mother return to the capital from Shaanxi that day?"
Sister Quan didn't hide it, and said, "Young lady knows it well."
Yuxi nodded and said: "I know. But Mammy thinks, is the capital safe?" This country is already on the verge of collapse, and no one knows how long it can last.
Sister Quan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I know that taxes in Shaanxi and Gansu are too heavy, and the common people have already been overwhelmed.
Yuxi said: "The world is full of chaos, but the common people are the ones suffering."
Sister Quan felt that she really couldn't understand Yuxi's thoughts: "Girl, you don't need to worry about these things." No matter how bad things are outside, with the protection of the Chen family, Yuxi doesn't have to worry about the future.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "There are eggs under the nest?" It's really a catastrophe, and no one can avoid it. It's just that if you are lucky, you will suffer less.
Regarding this, Grandma Quan didn't know what to say. Sometimes she regrets that she shouldn't have encouraged Yuxi to read history books. I have read too many history books, and there are too many sequelae. For example, what is the real world under heaven? What can a woman do besides trying to adapt to the environment? But Yuxi is very sympathetic to the people of the world? It's not something she should think about at all. Sister Quan said: "Girl, these are not things you should worry about." You couldn't even worry about it.
Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "Nurse is right, I was too worried." She had escaped the trouble herself and knew how miserable such a life was. Therefore, I can't bear to think that many people will be displaced by that time. It's just that, as Madam Quan said, so what if she is just worrying? I can't do anything except increase my troubles.
