Pregnant
Chapter 117
After Mr. Wen asked Old Madam Wen, with the lesson of the First Madam in mind, he sent someone to reply the next day and agreed to the marriage between the Wei family and the Third Lady.
Wen Suning's door has not been opened since yesterday.
Master Wen tried to persuade her, and the eldest and second sons also tried to persuade her, but they all remained silent. Aunt Xue got up early and cooked some soup, and gave it to her personal maid, "Just say it was prepared in the kitchen. You haven't eaten anything all day, so don't hurt yourself."
As soon as he got back, Old Madam Wen came.
Old Madam Wen personally called out from outside the door, "Madam." Only then did Wen Suning open the door.
After Old Madam Wen came in, she saw that she was neatly dressed, with a calm expression, without any sign of decadence. She sat quietly beside the old lady and kept her mouth shut.
Old Madam Wen knew all the personalities of the grandchildren in the house. If the eldest lady were a man, she might be more promising than the young men in the house. She was smart and good at analyzing things. She could always find the most beneficial and convenient path for herself and was not easily disturbed by the ways of the world.
Madam Wen asked her softly, "Are you feeling wronged?"
Wen Suning shook her head. "My granddaughter has become the laughing stock of everyone today. It's all fate. I have nothing to say."
"A laughing stock?" Madam Wen sneered. "In one's lifetime, in order to be the superior, to live a glamorous and respectable life, everyone has done some embarrassing things. Who can laugh at whom?"
Wen Su Ning lowered her head and said nothing.
"Grandmother is here to ask you today what you are planning."
Wen Suning said blankly, "I don't know." In the past, she knew clearly what she wanted and what path she wanted to take, but now everything in this world is telling her that fate is above everything and no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
She is not young anymore, and she is the oldest among the three girls in the Wen family, but her marriage has been left to the last. All the noble families in Dongdu who have had feelings for her have come during this period, and those who didn't come will never come again.
Rather than compromise, she would rather be alone all her life.
Wen Suning thought about it for a day, and then told Old Madam Wen her thoughts, "Grandma, I'm afraid I won't be with the secular world in this life. I'd like to stay with the green lamp forever."
"Do you think you can escape everything and live a peaceful life by staying with the green lamp?" Old Madam Wen sighed softly: "As long as you are alive, there is no place where you can truly live in peace."
"Grandma owes you a wedding banquet, and I will have to pay it back sooner or later. Today I came to ask you, Grandma does have a way to let you marry decently, are you willing?"
Half a month later, Wen Suning received a letter from Fengcheng.
There was only one sentence on the letter: The green willows hang down to the ground, and the poplar catkins fly in the sky.
Signed by: Xie Heng
Wen Su Ning's eyes trembled slightly.
The green willows hang down to the ground, and the catkins fly all over the sky. The willow branches are broken and the catkins are gone. May I ask if the passerby will return?
After her second younger sister married off in her wedding, her birth date and name list were returned to the Wen family, and she had no connection with the Xie family since then.
When the eldest branch of the Xie family met with disaster, Xie Heng fell from being a secretary to a runner. When she heard the news, she was only stunned for a moment and sighed melancholy, lamenting that fate was a cruel trick on people. If it weren't for the disaster, the eldest son of the Xie family wouldn't have been like this.
Although I have sympathy for him, I feel sorry for him as a bystander, and I still have a long way to go in my life.
There were high-ranking officials and nobles everywhere under the feet of the emperor of Dongdu. It was not difficult for her to marry a man with a good family background and who was more outstanding than Xie Heng.
But fate did not let her have her wish.
She understood what her grandmother meant when she said that day. If she married Xie Heng, she would not only be able to get rid of the joke of being inferior to others, but also gain a good reputation of being loyal.
The disaster of the eldest branch of the Xie family has passed. Although Xie Heng has returned to Fengcheng to continue serving as the county magistrate, his future is not completely ruined as long as the Xie family is around.
But whether she had any feelings for him or not, Xie Heng knew that when he was trapped in the swamp, she did not lend a helping hand at all. Now that he had walked out, how could she be so kind as to save her own reputation?
She thought Xie Heng would not agree.
Now, the few words in the letter are like a bridge that suddenly extends from the bottom of the abyss when one reaches the end of the road.
I held the letter lightly between my fingers and looked up at the sky outside the window.
She wanted to come to Dongdu and take in the prosperity here, stand at the top and become one with the prosperity here, but the prosperity was too dazzling, piercing her eyes and heart, and it wouldn't let her get close.
Before leaving, Old Lady Wen said to her, "You have been abiding by the rules since you were young, and you have always been concerned with profit, but you have forgotten that people's hearts are alive."
"Life is nothing but this, there is no need to stick to the rules. Before you make any plans, you should always put your heart first."
A few days later, Madam Wen announced the news that Wen Suning and the eldest son of the Xie family were engaged.
As soon as the news came out, everyone looked at her with admiration, saying that she had not forgotten her old love and even rejected such a good marriage proposal from the Wei family just to wait for the eldest son of the Xie family.
Xie Heng could not give her the prosperity she wanted, but he gave her a good reputation that allowed her to move forward.
The day Wen Suning left Dongdu, the results were announced.
Xiangyun and the second lady's servant went to guard the place early in the morning. Aunt Qing was serving Wen Shuse breakfast when she heard laughter outside.
Hearing the sound, Aunt Qing guessed that it was a good thing, and placed a bowl of light vegetable stem porridge in front of Wen Shuse, smiling and congratulating her, "My lady, don't worry, I said that my son-in-law will definitely win."
Xie Shao passed the exam and will now wait for next year's imperial examination.
The second wife took out money to reward the servants in the yard, and everyone was in a happy mood, but Mr. Xie himself was not in Dongdu.
Two months passed, and there was still no letter, and even Cui Nian had no news.
Wen Shuse had less and less appetite, and thought it would be fine if he didn't eat greasy food. However, after drinking a bowl of porridge in the morning, he vomited it all up immediately.
At first, Wen Shuse said that he had caught a cold, and no one in the room took it seriously. When the second wife found out that he had vomited, she quickly called a doctor to come.
After taking the pulse, the doctor smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations, ma'am, you are pregnant."
The two had been married for half a year. They tried so hard in the first few months, but there was no progress. Unexpectedly, the couple passed away, but the child was born.
Wen Shuse got what he wanted and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he lost to A Yuan, fortunately they were from the same year.
Pushe Xie and the Second Lady were even more delighted. Although their son was not there, their grandchildren were here. The Second Lady was more nervous than her own pregnancy. She hired a maid from outside to take care of pregnant women. Three meals a day were all prepared according to Wen Shuse's taste, and whatever she wanted to eat was made immediately.
Even though the old woman tried all kinds of tricks, Wen Shuse still couldn't eat it.
In severe cases, even acid water can be vomited out.
Old Madam Wen was worried when she heard the news, and instructed Wen Huai: "Gaoxian has been suffering from severe morning sickness these past two days, so you should pay more attention to her diet. Don't feed her Haicuo, as eating too much of that food will cause severe coldness. You should make more soup..."
After Wen Huai listened to her chatter, he followed her instructions and went to make soup.
Afraid that the soup would get cold, he went straight to the door carrying the soup pot. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw several servants standing in the corridor, holding trays with both meat and vegetables, waiting to be called by the people inside.
What is grandma worried about? The Xie family treats her like a bodhisattva.
The soup was ready, so it couldn't be wasted. Wen Shuse was lazily lying on the couch when he went in with the pot. Wen Huai was used to seeing her spirited and energetic, but she suddenly looked listless, so he was a little worried. He leaned in and touched her forehead, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Yeah." Wen Shuse nodded with difficulty. After she became pregnant, she became particularly sensitive to smells. As soon as Wen Huai sat over, she smelled a familiar smell.
Wen Shu was stunned, sniffed, moved closer to Wen Huai, and sniffed carefully.
Wen Huai was startled by her action and looked at her defensively, "What are you doing?"
Wen Shuse solved the case again and finally found out where the huge amount of Snow Muscle Cream he lost went. However, he did not treat her husband the same way and exposed him mercilessly, "Brother, you stole my Snow Muscle Cream."
Wen Huai's face froze, and he immediately stood up and argued, "You, are talking nonsense."
Wen Shuse grabbed it tightly and said, "My bottle is still new. I've only used it two or three times since I bought it. You have really dirty hands. Every time you come over, you grab that big lump and you dig it out till the bottom..."
Wen Huai's ears turned red, and he had to admit it, then complained: "Your bottle is too small..." He has a big face, can't he dig out more?
"It is a little whiter." Wen Shuse asked him a little, "But I have something even better. I guarantee that if you apply it for a few days, your skin will become white again immediately."
Wen Huai's thoughts were exposed, and he was about to leave.
Wen Shuse called out hurriedly, "Xiangyun."
"The servant is here."
"Take out all my snow skin creams, pack them up and give them to my brother." She was pregnant and had no use for these things for the time being.
Wen Huai's footsteps were stuck at the threshold, and he was reluctant to leave.
"Brother, remember, apply it three times a day. Apply it more often. When you get married next year, you will be as fair as a handsome man."
Wen Huai didn't look back. He quickly snatched the bag from Xiangyun's hand and ran out.
However, before getting married the following year, Wen Huai met Sixth Lady in advance.
The old lady of the Yu family celebrated her 60th birthday.
During the national mourning period, there are no banquets or music, but people can have a reunion dinner behind closed doors and no one will come to interfere.
Although the Yu family did not invite him, as the future granddaughter-in-law of the Yu family, Wen Huai had to visit the old lady in her sixties.
When he got up in the morning, Old Madam Wen called him over and told him to prepare some gifts. Wen Huai sat aside, absent-minded for a rare time.
The Sixth Lady of the Yu family still thinks he is a waiter. Once he goes there today, his true identity will be exposed. I don’t know how she will react.
The climate has unknowingly entered late autumn. The sun above our heads is blocked by clouds, appearing dimly and without any warmth.
The Yu family lived outside the inner city, and it took two hours for the carriage to arrive.
The eldest son of the Yu family was already waiting at the door to greet him. As soon as Wen Huai got off the carriage, the eldest son came forward and said, "Yesterday I sent someone to deliver a letter to Master Wen, saying that the old lady will not hold a birthday banquet this year. The restaurant is busy, so there is no need to come here. I guess the servants didn't deliver the message."
Wen Huai smiled and said, "How can I not come to celebrate the old lady's birthday?" He turned around and told the servant to unload the gifts from the carriage.
"It's windy today, Mr. Wen, please come in quickly."
Even though the old lady had said in advance that there would be no birthday banquet, many people still came to visit, and the house became busy early in the morning. The Sixth Lady was still unmarried and a member of the Yu family, so she also helped out and was carrying a teapot to deliver tea to each room.
The wind was indeed strong today. When the wind blew from the corridor, a chill came over her and Lady Liu wrapped her cloak tightly around herself.
My dears, it’s early today! (There are still 20,000 words to go before the end.)
