The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Counting the children, there were nearly twenty people, and it was not convenient for men and women to sit at the same table, so they opened two tables, one for men, and one for women and children.

Of course, wine is indispensable for a banquet, and the Zhuangyuan Mansion has a lot of various good wines brought from Liuyang Village. Mo Yan took out two types according to the level of alcohol content. The older one with higher alcohol content was placed on the men's table; the younger one with lower alcohol content was placed on the table of women and children. There was a jar in it. It's sweet wine. Children like to drink it. Even if they drink a whole glass, they won't get drunk.

At the dinner table, Mo Yan sat with Mrs. Han, helping to take care of the Han family's youngest son who was not very good at using chopsticks. Mrs. Han thanked her and then concentrated on taking care of the little daughter who could only use a spoon to drink soup.

Cui Qingrou also took good care of the little ones who had short arms and could not pick up the dishes far away. She was very patient with the children. Anyone with eyes can see that she really likes children.

After the meal, Mrs. Liu quietly found Mo Yan and said happily: "Originally, I thought that she was born as a young lady, and she was inevitably a little arrogant. But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I realize that I am shallow. She has been raised in a century-old family." The girl is really good, it will be to your advantage if you sisters get closer to her in the future."

This so-called benefit naturally does not refer to material things, but to cultivation that is more precious than material things. The ability of a family to survive hundreds of years of ups and downs and remain standing depends not only on generations of wise family heads, but also on the foundation accumulated from generation to generation.

Girls from the Cui family, no matter how beautiful or ugly they are, are all sought after by the world because these girls are so different from ordinary people. Moreover, if a girl from the Cui family does not have a satisfactory life in her husband's family, she will never compromise. No one dares to look down upon her even if she is divorced.

This is the confidence of Cui's woman. If she can learn something from it, it will be a good thing that no one else can even think of.

Mo Yan nodded and said seriously: "Aunt Cui is a very nice person, I like her very much, and several children also have a good impression of her. When Aunt Cui comes over in the future, even if they cannot regard her as their mother for the time being, they will still regard her as their mother." As an elder, get close to her and respect her."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately felt more relieved. She was afraid that the brothers and sisters would not be able to accept their father's continued marriage and would become hostile to their stepmother. What would happen if they became a family in the future?

At this time, the sound of children's play came from the open space not far away. The two of them looked over at the same time and saw them jumping around as if they were playing some game.

Mrs. Liu looked at it for a long time, and her face, which already had fine lines, overflowed with emotion: "I have always regretted that I could not give Lan'er a younger brother or younger sister, and let her grow up alone, except for We don’t even have anyone around us to play and talk to... When she was around, I didn’t feel that as soon as she got married, the family became much more deserted. You don’t know, she was very naughty when she was a child, and your uncle and I had a lot of headaches. , but I couldn’t bear to beat her and discipline her. Once, she sneaked out to play alone, but she came back covered in mud..."

Mo Yan listened patiently to Mrs. Liu's ramble about her friend's childhood, as if she could see the two elders almost jumping up and down with their friend, but they were reluctant to punish her at all. Finally, under the soft words of his daughter, all the anger turned into a burst of helplessness, and he steadily caught his daughter who rolled into his arms and acted coquettishly.

"Your uncle and I have been worrying about her for half our lives. We have no other wish than to hope that Lan'er will be safe and happy. Now, she is married, her son-in-law is a good person, her parents-in-law are kind, and she will have a child in a few months. It is considered complete. Now. Now, I just hope that she will get a boy with this pregnancy, establish a firm foothold in the old Shen family, and give your uncle and I some grandchildren in the future, and your uncle and I will be completely relieved."

Mrs. Liu is very satisfied, but she is worried that her daughter will be like her and can only have one child in her life. If this is the case, she still hopes that her daughter's baby will be a boy.

Mo Yan heard her worries and comforted her: "Sister Lan is in good health and her pregnancy is going well. She will definitely have many children and good fortune in the future. Auntie, don't worry."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she had a somewhat unpleasant look on her face and her smile was a little forced: "Then I will accept your good wishes, girl Yan, and make my aunt's wishes come true."

Mo Yan did not miss the strange look on Mrs. Liu's face. Her eyelids twitched and she asked nervously: "Auntie, is there something wrong with Sister Lan?"

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "There's nothing wrong. It's fine now."

Mo Yan frowned, seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, so she could only keep her worries about her friend in her heart.

"By the way, Auntie, did Sister Lan say when you will come up again?" Suddenly thinking of another thing, Mo Yan said to Mrs. Liu: "I heard that pregnant women who eat more fruits will give birth to smart and beautiful children. The orchard before I specially prepared several baskets of fruits, and planned to bring them to Sister Lan to eat when she comes."

Those baskets of fruits were specially replaced by her from the space. They are of better quality than those in the orchard. They are currently stored in the basement with ice cubes to keep them fresh.

Liu Tinglan and Shen Ji returned to Shen's house ten days ago. They also visited Mo's house before going back. They only said they would be back after the festival, but did not give a specific date. Mo Yan didn't know what day they would arrive.

The Liu family had received the fruit sent by Mo Yan the day before yesterday, and it tasted really sweet. Now seeing that Mo Yan was still thinking about her daughter, Mrs. Liu said gratefully: "Girl, you always think about Lan Yatou if there are any good things. You can keep those fruits for yourself. I'm afraid Lan Yatou won't be able to eat them before the child is born." Going to Beijing."

When Mo Yan heard this, she was extremely surprised. She intuitively felt that her friend's failure to come to Beijing was related to the things that Mrs. Liu was hiding, so she said, "Auntie, what's wrong with Sister Lan? Just tell me the truth. If you hide it like this, I will only have random thoughts." , I am even more worried about Sister Lan."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu knew that there was no point in keeping it a secret any longer, so she had to tell the truth: "Lan'er had fetal gas on her way back. For the sake of her and the child, the two elders of the Shen family do not plan to let her go to Beijing again."

It turned out that when the couple returned to old Shen's house, the road might have been bumpy for too long. Liu Tinglan, who was already three months pregnant and already stable, developed a loose tire, which turned the entire Shen family upside down. Fortunately, the child is fine, but the doctor told me that he needs to stay in bed for half a month, and it is best not to travel long distances again.

The two elders of the Shen family were frightened, and they did not want their daughter-in-law to leave with their grandson who had not yet spoken, so they found their son and daughter-in-law to do their homework. Mrs. Shen sat in front of Liu Tinglan's bed and persuaded her to stay at the old Shen family to have the baby, and then take the baby to Beijing with her when the baby was born.

This time, Liu Tinglan was also very frightened. Even though she couldn't bear to leave her husband, she didn't dare to risk the child. After thinking about it, she discussed it with Shen Ji and finally decided to stay and raise the child. No matter what, the safety of the child is most important right now.

The matter was settled like this. Shen Ji wrote a letter to the two elders of the Liu family and sent it along with the gift to the Liu family, explaining the matter briefly.

Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu were also frightened into a cold sweat. Naturally, they would not disagree. Mr. Liu immediately replied to the letter and asked the servants of the Shen family to take it back and persuade their daughter to have a peaceful pregnancy. The two elders would visit her from time to time. So much.

After hearing the whole story, Mo Yan's vest also broke out with cold sweat, and she said with lingering fear: "I'm so lucky that the child is safe and sound. It doesn't matter if Sister Lan stays with the old Shen family to raise the baby, the Shen family will definitely take better care of her."

Having said that, she still felt uneasy. She planned to make some miscarriage pills to send to Sister Lan after she returned home. If something like this happened again, taking one miscarriage pill would definitely protect her. The child is fine, but at least he can wait until the doctor comes.

What worried her the most was Lu Zhu, who lived in the Shen family's ancestral home. Based on Lu Zhu's personality, she might not do anything to hurt Sister Lan. She had to go there in person and tell Sister Lan to be careful.

Madam Liu naturally didn't know what Mo Yan was thinking. She said apologetically: "Lan'er is fine. I didn't plan to tell you so as not to worry you."

Mo Yan said sternly: "Sister Lan and I are like sisters. Auntie's words just go unnoticed."

Mrs. Liu said with emotion: "Lan'er has a friend like you, which is her blessing from her previous life."

"I am also lucky to meet a close friend like Sister Lan." Mo Yan replied with a smile.

…

Knowing Mo Yan's attitude, Madam Liu's attitude towards Cui Qingrou became a little more enthusiastic. The age gap between the two is a bit big, and the gap in origin is even greater, but the two women are willing to be friends with each other, so what does this gap mean? It didn't take long before we got to know each other to a certain extent and found that the other person was indeed a good person, so we started chatting more freely.

Mrs. Han is two years older than Cui Qingrou. The two have known each other since they were in the boudoir. Even though they didn't have many opportunities to interact with each other, they got to know each other again now. There is a feeling that they have known each other for a long time.

It gets lively when there are more people, especially the children of the Han family who have no restraints and can't stop running wild with Zhen'er and the others. Even the six beasts were ravaged by the naughty children of the Han family. They wanted to escape, but they were too big and the yard was too small. There was nowhere to hide. They wanted to run out, but they were afraid of scaring people, so they bared their teeth and threatened. The naughty kids trying to pounce on me.

This is not the first time for the naughty children to play with the six beasts. They know that as long as they do not hurt them intentionally, they will not hurt anyone. Seeing them grinning, the children not only were not afraid, but found them cute, and imitated their grinning faces.

The six beasts lost their temper after being tortured by the children. They lay helplessly on the ground and let them touch them. Anyway, they would not lose any piece of meat after being touched a few times. Sometimes when they were in a good mood, they would expose their belly and squint their eyes. Let them tickle you.

In other words, innocent children can make the six beasts unsuspecting. If it were any adult, they would not reveal their vulnerability. Of course, except Mo Yan.

On the other side, Cui Ping'an took Mo Yan to an unattended corner and hesitated for a long time, unable to form a complete sentence.

Mo Yan looked at his embarrassed expression and vaguely guessed something, but she said impatiently: "If you want to say anything, just say it. If you don't say it, I'll leave!"

Cui Ping'an saw that Mo Yan turned around and seemed to be really leaving, so he quickly pulled out her sleeves and said with a sorry smile: "Cousin, good cousin, my cousin has something to ask you, but I don't know how to say it."

cousin? cousin?

The corner of Mo Yan's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a little unable to accept the sudden calls from these two people. She slapped Cui Ping'an's hand away and said calmly: "If what you want makes me embarrassed, then you'd better stop talking. There's no point in trying to get close. Anyway, my father and your aunt have not formally married!"

Cui Ping'an said with a smile: "Isn't it just next month? Sooner or later, I have to change my words. For now, just call me this as a practice! Besides, my cousin won't embarrass you, but I really don't know how to say it."

Should I contact you? Mo Yan was extremely speechless. Why hadn't she noticed that this guy was so thick-skinned before?

Cui Ping'an didn't care how Mo Yan complained about him. After saying a few words like this, he suddenly felt less nervous and smoothly said what he wanted: "That's it, your cousin and I are five years old when we get married." She's already 1 month old, but your cousin-in-law is not pregnant yet. Your medical skills are very good, so I just want you to take a look."

Mo Yan's face changed slightly, and her tone was a bit unpleasant: "You have only been married for five months. Isn't it normal to have no children?" This guy was too impatient and didn't know that doing this would be a disservice to his daughter-in-law. Does it hurt?

Perhaps because of his thick nerves or because he was thinking about the child, Cui Ping'an did not hear Mo Yan's displeasure. He just smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I'm impatient, it's the princess. She gave your cousin sister-in-law the excuse of having nothing to do. I assigned a few maids. Although I was temporarily blocked by my grandmother, the princess will not give up if Fangcao is childless. I think if Fangcao can get pregnant as soon as possible, the princess...maybe not so aggressive. ”

Knowing that Cui Ping'an was wrongly blamed, Mo Yan apologized silently in her heart, but reminded her: "Do you really think that Princess Fuyun will not cause trouble for you if your wife is pregnant with a child?"

Cui Ping'an stared blankly at his feet without answering, obviously knowing that this was impossible.

Mo Yan sighed, not knowing how to help him. Princess Fuyun was not only a respected princess, but also his aunt and uncle. As long as Princess Fuyun casually said that he was "unfilial", many people would criticize him verbally. If they want to avoid Princess Fuyun, it is impossible for the couple to live outside. A mistake will make them even more passive.

"I can't help you with this matter. Fortunately, Mrs. Cui can always protect you. In the future, you can only take one step at a time."

Cui Ping'an nodded slowly, stretched out his wrist and looked at Mo Yan: "Then you'd better help my cousin take a look. Grandma doesn't say anything, but in her heart she hopes that your cousin and I can have a child."

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this guy wanted to show her to him from the beginning. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say.

In this era, if a family has no children, it is generally believed to be the woman's fault. Otherwise, no one would despise a childless woman and compare such a woman to a "hen that cannot lay eggs." Many women were divorced back to their parents' families, mostly because they had "nothing to do".

No one thinks that a woman's inability to give birth to a child is because there is something wrong with a man. Even if someone thinks of this, they will not say it easily. They will not believe this fact unless they have seen a doctor and received confirmation from the doctor. However, it would be considered a shame for a man to ask a doctor to treat this kind of disease. Even if it is his own problem, he would just hide it and not let anyone know.

It is impossible for Cui Pingan not to know this. He has the courage to doubt whether it is his own problem. This alone is better than most men in the world.

There was no trace of disdain for Cui Ping'an on Mo Yan's face anymore. She pointed to the deserted side hall and said, "Go over there and call your cousin over by the way. It's best if nothing happens. If there really is something, , it’s better to get treatment early.”

Cui Pingan had no objection and quickly brought Fangcao over.

Fangcao is not a beauty at first sight. She has a very round and small face, and her facial features are not exquisite, but when put together they are very pleasing to the eye, making people fall in love with her.

At this time, she followed Cui Pingan step by step, seemingly without any opinion, as if she was just a little daughter-in-law who regarded her husband as her first priority, but in fact, in their small family, Cui Pingan had to listen to her in everything. Outside, she acts like a submissive little daughter-in-law and doesn't let anyone laugh at her husband.

I have to say that such a woman is very smart, otherwise Cui Ping'an would not forget her for the rest of her life. She vowed to marry her as his wife. She was married to the Cui family for five months, but surprisingly she did not suffer a big loss at the hands of Princess Fuyun. Of course, Mrs. Cui is protecting her, but more importantly, she is cautious. Otherwise, if she fails to live up to expectations and something goes wrong in front of Princess Fuyun, it will be useless for anyone to protect her.

Mo Yan had a good impression of Fangcao. When he saw her walking in, he smiled and called her "cousin," which made Fangcao blush with embarrassment. She even said "I can't bear it." Cui Ping'an was still careless. After saying that they were all a family and asking her daughter-in-law not to see anyone else, Fangcao shyly agreed and called Mo Yan "Sister Yan."

Just a change of title brought the relationship between the two closer.

When she learned that her husband had asked Mo Yan to give them an heir, Fangcao didn't feel aggrieved. She immediately pressed Cui Ping'an on the chair, rolled up his sleeves and put his wrists on the pulse pillow.

Mo Yan looked at Cui Pingan, who was complaining that Fangcao was too rude, and his arms were red, but he had a happy smile in his eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head. She skillfully clasped his three fingers on his wrist. Listening to Cui Ping'an's screams, her heart instantly became balanced.

The couple looked very relaxed, each stretched out a hand to pull the hook under the table, but they were very nervous in their hearts. The two of them stared at Mo Yan for a moment, and a trace of wetness oozed from their intertwined fingers.

After a moment, Mo Yan took back her hand and stared at Cui Ping'an expressionlessly for a while. Until the sweat on his forehead was revealed, she said maliciously: "There is nothing wrong with your body, just some kidney deficiency. I will give you a cure." Please enjoy the food supplement recipe!"

After the couple reacted, they immediately blushed.

After Cui Ping'an got up, Fangcao sat in front of Mo Yan with a red face. She felt a little guilty, afraid that Mo Yan would see something that she shouldn't see.

Mo Yan smiled slightly, but when his fingers were placed on Fangcao's veins, his face changed slightly and he stopped smiling...

Dear friends, the temperature dropped suddenly today. I was looking through the cabinet and found that I had no clothes to wear. I bought two pieces in a hurry and continued to write, so I am a little late!

The temperature has dropped in many places recently, and colds and fevers are most likely to occur. Parents, please be careful, especially those with children at home. If your child has a cough, you can try boiling maltose with rice soup and giving it to your child. It is said to have a lung-moistening effect. Very good, it can cure cough.
