Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Lunar New Year's eve.

There was still a banquet going on in the front yard, and the sounds could be faintly heard in the back yard. Xiaoqing poured some water for the woman who had just woken up. Wangshu, who was woken up by the suffocation, shook her head and took someone's hand to go to the inner room. When the wet towel wiped her, she shook slightly.

"It's still a little swollen." There were more marks. Xiaoqing stood up and helped the others get dressed. Wangshu gathered his pajamas tightly and said, "I can't walk anymore, forget it."

Continue to lie flat.

Xiaoqing was a little worried, "Madam, do you still want to have a baby?"

Wangshu felt a little weak. She was almost forty years old. "No."

"But you and the general do this so frequently..." Xiaoqing also felt that the lady was not suitable for getting pregnant again. She leaned over and whispered in her ear some folk remedies about having someone come to clean up with brute force, drink medicine, and take a bath.

"It's okay." Wangshu comforted her, "I won't get pregnant."

Xiaoqing was full of questions.

"Someone can control it, clean it up, and replace it with something else." Besides, Qin Xiuyuan was able to calculate which days were dangerous a few years ago. As an old couple, there are many ways to get happiness.

If it had always been a real fight, Wangshu would have been defeated long ago.

Xiaoqing blushed, feeling relieved. "Madam, it's enough if you understand my feelings," she said from the bottom of her heart. "Women should have children, but they can't keep giving birth forever."

Especially since my wife’s health is not very good, although two pairs of twins are not many, their lives are more important.

Xiaoqing thought about it and told him that Old Lady Wang and several other generals had been trying to persuade the general to continue having sons and even take more concubines to expand his family.

Wangshu was surprised, "How did you know?" He hadn't heard anything at all.

"Senior Sister Qin Yi said so." Xiao Qing lay on the head of Wangshu's bed, a little worried, "Madam, you must not let the general know that it was us!"

Wangshu propped up his head and said, "Hmm. What did the general say at that time?"

"My senior sister said that the general refused on the spot. She was worried, so she came to ask me," Xiaoqing whispered, "about what happened between you and the general in the bedroom. I definitely didn't tell her, so she said someone in the army instigated it..."

Xiao Qing was very sober and advised her wife, "Madam, words are one thing, actions are another. The general may refuse verbally, but he often does this... this... in the middle of the night..."

She was so embarrassed that she almost stuttered, "You can easily... Madam, you don't know, there are some men out there who, despite their wives being in poor health, insist on getting pregnant and giving birth to children. They also torture and abuse them in the bedroom, just to make them die early so they can marry new wives!"

She became increasingly emotional towards the end, "Those poor women were essentially killed by their own husbands, and they didn't even understand how they died. They just cried and couldn't let go of the babies they gave birth to!"

Wangshu was embarrassed at first, but then stood in awe. The little girl was very aware, "Xiaoqing, what you said scares a lot of men! Because you are right."

Xiaoqing relaxed. "Madam, it's great that you understand! If I told you or anyone else about this, I would definitely be scolded and beaten."

"Who dares to do that if I have a day?"

"That's right. Madam, what I want most is for you to live a long and carefree life."

This is a bit difficult. He said it without feeling sleepy. Wangshu got up and stretched, "It's difficult!"

Xiaoqing was about to open her mouth, but suddenly stopped. Footsteps came from outside, and it was the man who angrily scolded her, "Shushu, if you say that again, I'll slap you in the face!"

As we bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, even the dog at home has to smile and say something nice! Anyone who dares to say something unlucky during these days will start a bad start and have bad luck for the whole year!

Xiaoqing ran away.

Wangshu was pulled up by someone. Seeing that she was about to be spanked, her legs went limp and she collapsed on the person who was trying to spank her. The person held her with one hand and leaned on a cane with the other - he had no free hand to hit her.

"Why are you back? Where's the doll?"

"Since you've come back to show your face, Uncle Tang and Ji Shou will receive you." Qin Xiuyuan helped the man to stand steadily, but the man was just being unreasonable. "Stand still."

If you can’t stand well, you can’t stand well! With your nose turned up to the sky: “You did a good thing!”

Unable to explain, I changed the subject. "Are you hungry?"

"pain."

Qin Xiuyuan compromised, "Let me take a look." Then, he looked up with a dark face, "I think you are hungry here!"

Wangshu didn't say anything. He felt a little pain and was a little hungry.

Qin Xiu was even worse than her. They had been separated for over a month, but this time it wouldn't work. He had something else to do in the afternoon, and Wangshu had to go out for dinner tonight. "I'll be on guard tonight, and you're not allowed to sleep."

To keep watch, he had to take his whole family to the small ancestral hall! Wangshu asked him with his eyes.

"Half an hour, just do your best." Qin Xiuyuan was very open-minded, "You can accompany Xiaosan and Xiaosi first."

Wangshu's health was weak, and the sound of the Buddhist bells would make her heart skip a beat. Qin Xiuyuan never let her near ancestral halls or graveyards, places with strong negative energy. Han Batian said she was brave and definitely not afraid of blood. Women are afraid of blood, but their bodies can't support their courage. Mingxi is exactly like that, her body is easily overwhelmed by emotions and she is too sensitive.

Xiaoqing brought in the food. Qin Xiuyuan stared at the person eating and drinking, and said, "You should get enough sleep first."

There were so many things going on at home that Wangshu couldn't sleep well. He had to take care of the New Year's Eve family dinner, the baby's lucky money, the servants' tips, the fireworks, the sacrifices, the baby's new clothes - all of them had to be taken care of.

After hearing what she said, Qin Xiuyuan picked out a set of clothes, put them on, and walked out of the room with her arm in arm. As he walked, he asked, "You only made two new sets of clothes?"

Xiaoqing followed behind and listened to their conversation.

"You too. Three sets of dolls."

"Make more next time. Dolls grow fast, just like me. One set is enough."

"Yun Xiao won't be taller than you in the future!"

"It's possible. I wasn't as tall as him when I was ten."

"I want him to be shorter than you. Otherwise my neck hurts!"

Qin Xiuyuan was dissatisfied, "Your neck hurts. I look at the top of your head and your nostrils every day!"

My whole family, except for me, is so arrogant and looks down on everyone. It's so tiring! The mistress has already gone astray, and even the fourth mistress, who can't even walk yet, has a tendency to look down on everyone!

Xiaoqing paused, and the two maids beside her, who were not very experienced, immediately put their hands into her mouths to block her mouth with pain to stop her from laughing.

In the study, Wangshu and Chunyang went over their plans for tonight and tomorrow. Qin Xiuyuan arrived with four children in new clothes. Mingxi wore a light yellow jacket and long skirt, with a silver-gilt turquoise and oriental pearl slit worth ten thousand taels. Yunxiao wore a blue lapel robe and a gold and jade belt with a snap button. The two little ones were identical, wearing bright red shorts and a short jacket embroidered with peonies. The only difference was that the brother had a sapphire and pearl necklace on his chest, while the sister had a ruby ​​and pearl necklace. The pearls were plump, the size of little fingers, and the beads were neatly pinned together, not a thread out of place.

The beads were strung together with three ropes, which were originally very strong. The scary thing was that these beads were soaked in Coptis chinensis, which tempted the baby, who wanted to stuff everything into her mouth, to lick them for the first time. She wrinkled like an old man or woman and cried so hard that it was almost impossible to stop her!

The woman was cunning and arranged for Qin Xiuyuan to personally dress the baby in new clothes and hang beads on it. Now the mistresses and the daughter-in-law, who had suffered so much, were in tears again when they saw their mother. They stretched out their hands to ask for a hug, feeling extremely aggrieved. With one hand they pointed at the beads, not daring to touch them, and with the other hand they pointed at their father who was framed, and kept complaining.

"Beat! Beat!" Beat the bad guys!

She didn't cry when she wasn't given meat to eat, but she couldn't stop crying when she was given bitter food. Seeing the man unable to argue, Wangshu couldn't help laughing.
