Since his son married his second wife. Mrs. Zheng burned incense and chanted Buddha's name every day. She knelt down three times in front of the ancestral hall and prayed devoutly. She prayed for the blessings of the ancestral god and hoped that her daughter-in-law would become pregnant and her grandson would come to the Zheng family as soon as possible.
After Mrs. Lan married into the Zheng family, she spent all day dressing up, painting her eyebrows, applying rouge and powder, and looking fancy. And deep down in her heart, what she longs for most is to be able to conceive a child as soon as possible in order to further gain success and gain.
The sun and the moon came one after another, and it took more than two months in a flash.
On this morning, Mrs. Lan sat in front of the dressing mirror and painted her eyebrows and put on rich makeup. After she took some time to do it, she concentrated on counting, her eyes suddenly flashed, and there was a strange light in her eyes. Immediately, she stood up and walked out of the west room, running to the upper room in high spirits...
At this time, Mrs. Zheng was wearing a wide-body flag dress with purple floral silk brocade and was sitting upright on the bed. She closed her eyes slightly, twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, and was concentrating on reciting Buddhist scriptures.
Chunhua was sitting in the house. When she heard the footsteps outside the door, she immediately opened the door gently and hurriedly came out. Seeing that Mrs. Lan had already rushed forward, she blocked her with her arm and whispered to dissuade her, "Uh, little madam, the old lady is reciting Buddhist scriptures. No one else is allowed to come near and interfere."
Lan stopped at the door, immediately closed her eyelids, and said loudly and rudely, "I'm not a bystander, nor am I interfering. I have something important to ask the old lady."
Chunhua was helpless for a moment and was about to turn around and report? At this time, the old man's questioning voice came from inside the house; "Who is talking loudly outside?"
Lan's mind was treacherous, her voice shrilled, and she replied in a coquettish voice, "Ne Niang, it's me - I have something urgent to ask you?"
The old lady opened her eyes and seemed to have given up the idea of chanting sutras. She frowned slightly and said, "Oh, it's my young lady. If there is anything urgent, please come in and talk."
Lan raised his neck with a very domineering expression. Immediately, Chunhua stepped aside and let him push the door open and enter the house.
Mrs. Lan approached the bed and sat closely beside her mother-in-law. She twisted her posture and pretended to be very intimate. She covered her mouth with her hand and put it against the old man's ear. It's been seven or eight days, but I haven't seen him yet. I want to ask Ne Niang, what's going on? "
The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, her eyebrows suddenly opened, and her originally silent eyes immediately became extremely lively. However, she seemed to be unsure of herself for a moment, and she replied solemnly and seriously: "Little madam, is this all true? Did you remember the date of your monthly letter wrong? In the past, the date of your monthly letter was wrong. Is there any time when it’s not accurate?”
Lan raised her face, rolled her eyes, and said with a happy smile, "Ne Niang, the date of my previous monthly letters was accurate. It's just that this time it delayed the time, and I didn't remember it wrong at all."
The old lady smiled, with a look of surprise that she had never seen before. Immediately, she moved her fingers a few times, calculating the month and date of her daughter-in-law's marriage, and continued excitedly, "According to time calculation, it has been more than two months since you were married into the Zheng family. So, you It's time to get pregnant, right?"
At this time, Mrs. Lan frowned, her posture was arrogant, and she looked more and more delicate and arrogant. She pursed her thin red lips tightly and said in a sinister voice, "Ne Niang, I don't know much about pregnancy? Now, I feel like I know a little bit more about it." If there are any signs, come to Shangfang as soon as possible---Would you like to ask your old man for advice? "
"So, you are probably overjoyed." At this point, the old lady could no longer hold back the joy in her heart, her eyes flashed brightly, her face beamed with smile, and she asked with great concern; "Oh --- little madam, You have to be careful at all times, take care of yourself, and don't make any mistakes. Tomorrow, I will ask Xavier Zheng to invite the famous doctor Guan to my home and let him diagnose you carefully and check your pulse? "
I heard that the old man had made arrangements. Mrs. Lan immediately stood up, swaying her B*tt happily, and walked out of the upper room proudly.
Early the next morning. Xavier Zheng personally drove the carriage and invited Guan Langzhong, the most famous man in the city, to his home.
In the west wing room. Mr. Lan was lying on the bed, and the old lady was sitting beside the bed, caring and asking questions. Seeing Xavier Zheng leading the doctor into the house, the old lady stood up happily, ordered her servants to bring a chair, and invited the doctor to sit down in front of the pregnant woman's bed.
Guan Langzhong is tall and nearly sixty years old. He has a rectangular face, a kind face, and a pair of bright eyes. As he comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, he has profound medical knowledge and unique teaching experience. Coupled with his rich clinical experience and excellent medical skills, his medical ethics and reputation are well known far and wide.
After Dr. Guan sat down, he motioned to the patient to stretch out his wrist and check his pulse carefully. With a calm expression and a smile on his face, he told his family very solemnly: "Congratulations to the old lady and Boss Zheng, the little lady is pregnant."
"Okay, okay, this is a great event for our Zheng family." After Lan's pregnancy was confirmed and confirmed, the old lady was filled with joy, extremely happy, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. While she ordered Xian Rui to reward the doctor with more money, she comforted Lan: "My dear madam, what do you want to eat? Just ask the servants to go to the kitchen and tell us that pregnant women must eat more nutritious food, and we can't be treated badly." The child in my belly."
I learned that the little lady was pregnant. Xavier Zheng also felt relieved, and his face immediately gained a look of glory.
If the Lan family is pregnant, the Zheng family will have a successor. The old lady felt that she had hope in her heart, her spirits were extremely high, and she attached great importance to this. That night, the whole family gathered in the dining room to eat together. After the dishes were served, the old lady always put some good meat and vegetables in the pregnant woman's bowl. She was particularly caring and considerate, and kept comforting and exhorting; "Little madam, Pregnant women should supplement their nutrition to ensure adequate nutrition and good health, so as to better promote the growth and development of their babies. "
Because Lan was pregnant with a child, Xavier Zheng also showed extra care for her. Knowing that the old man was happy, he would urge and comfort him from time to time during the meal; "Yes, what Ne Niang said is based on experience. Pregnant women should increase their nutrition, which will be of great benefit to the health of mother and baby." "
Mrs. Lan was very proud of her husband's favor and became more and more complacent. Facing Yu Shi, she had evil intentions and secretly wanted to live in a phoenix nest. There was always a bit of contempt and weirdness in her eyes, and she showed a completely arrogant and arrogant look. He even got carried away and tilted the corners of his mouth, and even chewed the food deliberately to make a "bah, bah, bah" sound.
Lan's treatment of her servants became even worse, inhumane, and more vicious and mean. Qiu Ju serves her master every day, always on tenterhooks and cautious in everything. If they are a little careless or don't take good care of them, they will be bullied, beaten and scolded by their owners.
When Lan became pregnant, she thought that Da Gong living alone would be equivalent to having political capital in the Zheng family. She is ignorant and uneducated, but she is good at pursuing pleasure and practicing corruption for personal gain. She is quite scheming and full of Taoism when it comes to playing tricks to make money and plotting against others.
After breakfast this day, Lan specially dressed up. Then, she walked out of the bedroom, walked out of the west room, and immediately went straight to the upper room.
I opened the door, walked into the house, and said "good morning" to my mother-in-law. Immediately, she had ulterior motives, pretended to be depressed, then put on a shy face, pursed her thin red lips, and tested the old man cunningly: "Ne Niang, today, I am going to go to the Xixia Depression. I want to go back and see my parents."
The old lady frowned when she heard that. She was particularly concerned about the child in Lan's belly? At that time, her face was startled, with a worried look in her eyes, and she dissuaded her very worriedly: "How can that be done? You are already pregnant and it is very inconvenient to move. How can you go to the Xixia Depression like that?" Going somewhere far away?"
Mrs. Lan pretended to wipe away her tears, made a very sad look, and cried in a mocking voice: "Ne Niang, I haven't seen my mother's family for a long time. I feel uncomfortable when I think of my family. I really can't bear it anymore." . I have to go back to my parents’ house from time to time to avoid getting angry and feel more at ease? "
The old lady was nervous and took this very seriously. Her eyes were blank and full of melancholy, and she could only persuade patiently: "My dear madam, the road to the Xixia Depression is very difficult to walk, and the distance is inconvenient. Even riding a carriage, the road is bumpy and bumpy. If it is injured, How can I feel at ease when my body is broken and my fetus is weak?"
At this time, Mrs. Lan had an agenda and a cunning look in her eyes. She pretended to be close to the old man and used tricks to show off her airs. She said in a coquettish and tactful tone: "Ne Niang, It has been more than two months since I left my parents' home. I feel depressed after not seeing my family for such a long time. I miss them so much. Now, I am just pregnant, so you won't allow me to go back to my parents' home to see you? Calculating, there is still a long time before the child's birth date? Could it be that during the long period of nine months of my pregnancy, you could not allow me to go back to see my mother's family?" At this point, her eyes turned. , furrowing his brows and eyes, carefully testing the other party's inner activities, he had already discerned the old man's inner weakness. Then, she changed the subject and spoke arrogantly to the other party: "Ne Niang, since I came to Zheng's house, I have been missing and thinking about my mother-in-law's family every day. I am anxious and angry about this, and I feel very uncomfortable. I always feel like I'm being pinched. If one day I can't stand it any longer, I might sneak back to the Xixia Depression to see my parents. When that happens, don't blame me. Don't you care to tell Ne Niang?"
When the old lady heard this, she felt restless and a little uneasy. After the old man thought gloomily for a while, he came up with a good idea. Immediately, she changed her usual dignity and comforted her slowly, "I think so, tomorrow, we will send someone to send a message to the Lan family to bring your mother to live with the Zheng family for a few days." . It saves you from worrying about your family all day long, and the problem will be solved for you. "
Lan didn't achieve his goal and was not satisfied at all. She rolled her eyes and quickly answered, "Ne Niang, your idea is quite good? However, bringing my mother to Zheng's house to stay for a few days every now and then is just a temporary pandering." , Isn’t it a long-term solution?” At this time, she had grasped the old man’s inner thoughts and felt that there was a lot of room for maneuver, so she put honey on her lips and made her request clearly and boldly; “Ne Niang, do this. ---It's better to ask the master to buy a house for the Lan family nearby and house all my natal family here. In this way, the two families can live closer to each other and save me from having to go back and forth in the future. It saves Ne Niang from having to worry about the fetal gas, and she can worry less about it. "
Ever since Lan became pregnant, the old lady had doted on her and regarded her as the most important figure in the Zheng family. In order to breed future generations and continue the legacy of the Zheng family, the old man only had one thought left. At this time, there was no need to think about the matter anymore. She replied with concern and meticulousness, "My dear madam, you just want Xavier Zheng to buy a house for the Lan family in the city, and you want to arrange for your natal family to live with the Zheng family." Live nearby?"
"Ne Niang, just because of my master's ability, I asked him to buy a house in the city for my father-in-law's family. I think it's not too difficult for him, right?" Lan had a cunning heart and was already very articulate and good at sophistry. At this juncture, she had an arrogant attitude, winked slyly, and gave her reasons plausibly; "Furthermore, Ne Niang is most concerned about the child in my belly. I also care about the baby." For safety reasons, she opened her mouth to make this request to Ne Niang. At this point, she touched her belly coquettishly, pursed her thin red lips proudly and said, "Ne Niang, My little request is just a trivial matter for the big business that the master is planning. In order to take good care of the descendants of the Zheng family, I will ensure that my mother and baby do not have any problems during pregnancy. Make sure the baby in my belly is healthy and born smoothly! Ne Niang asked me to give up this little money to buy a house nearby for the Lan family. I think---this is my request. That’s not too much, right?”
Deep in the heart of the old lady, the greatest ethical concept is to carry on the family line and hope that there will be successors to the Zheng family. Knowing that Lan's thoughts and intentions were for the safety of the pregnant woman, how could the old man refuse or begrudge the money? Under this situation, the old lady was thinking deeply, so she could only make some compromises and concessions, and slowly comforted and exhorted; "Oh, this matter---don't be anxious now, wait for Xian Rui" I'll discuss it with him after I get back."
Feeling that things were settled and the conspiracy was successful, Lan smiled slyly and felt very satisfied. She spoke sweetly, pursed her thin red lips, and said with a strong driving tone: "Ne Niang, I am pregnant for the Zheng family. You are so caring about this, and you are extremely happy in your heart. Based on this alone, I believe ---The master will definitely agree to arrange a house for the Lan family. "Then, in order to facilitate the matter as soon as possible and reach a formal verbal agreement, she quickly and deliberately added; "Besides, master. Outside--but there is a big boss in Xiuyan City! The living conditions in the father-in-law's house are so poor, does it also diminish the luster on his son-in-law's face? "Ne Niang, don't you think so?"
Normally, this old lady from the Zheng family would stick to her guns and say the truth. However, when she met an opponent as sinister and vicious as Lan, who was full of extreme methods, she was not only defeated, but she was also coaxed into being confused and confused. Immediately, she nodded seriously, even if she agreed to the matter with full commitment.
