There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 035

But they are men, so they can only follow them to the second gate, and then they have to stop. There is a woman at the second gate to lead the two brothers in.

There are women in the two doors, from old ladies and young ladies, to mothers, mothers-in-law and maids.

The second is the little boy without a head, that is, the little boy before the age of seven.

Because after the little boy is seven years old, he will be separated. The so-called: men and women have different seats at seven years old.

After entering the second gate, you arrive at the main room, where the old lady meets guests. The old lady has a courtyard with three entrances. The first entrance is the meeting place, the second entrance is the old lady's bedroom, and the third entrance is the living room. Several girls in the family are their boudoir Xiulou.

Because the third entrance is a two-story building, maidservants and mothers live on the first floor, and ladies live on the second floor. It is said that there are women who guard the door of the embroidery building in shifts. There are two doors in total, twelve women, guarding in shifts .

In addition to the two women guarding the door, there are also two young servants who are over ten years old and under outside the door.

This is a fat job, and I will often see the masters, and I can handle things by passing on the word, so basically the children in this position are the children of the housekeepers who have a reputation.

Wu Youwei looked at the backyard with a twinkle in his eyes.

The servant girl opened the door curtain and invited them in.

As soon as he entered the house, Wu Youwei was a little dazed. Except for the funeral, Wu Youwei was at the old lady's place for the first time and saw all... family members.

Wu Jun, Wu Jun's wife, Wu Jun's eldest son, eldest daughter, second daughter, third daughter, and fourth daughter.

The eldest son, eldest daughter and fourth daughter are all descendants of the concubine, and the second and third daughters are concubine descendants.

The eldest son is 15 years old, but he is younger than Wu Youwei, but he was born in the same year. However, he has been in poor health since he was a child.

Wu Ying, that is, Wu Jun's eldest son, looked in good health, wearing a blue robe made of plain brocade, with a net scarf on his head and a headband made of ribbons of the same color, although he was thin A little bit, but not to the point where you will die if you move

Wu Youwei looked at Wu Ying, a 15-year-old boy who seemed to have matured a lot.

In his opinion, this young man is not so weak, but why not go to the imperial examination?

Wu Ying glanced at Wu Youwei with contempt in his eyes, although he quickly restrained himself.

Wu Youwei curled his lips in his heart, the direct line of the Wu family was really not polite to him as a concubine heir!

Look at Wu Qian'er, Wu Jun's eldest daughter. She is thirteen or fourteen years old. She looks like a flower and looks like jade. The little girl is wearing a milky white auspicious cloud pattern gown, a silver magnolia skirt with white silk embroidered on a silver background, and cicada wings of jade swirls. yarn.

He has black and bright hair tied up into a very unique auspicious cloud bun, and a gilt silver filigree pearl hairpin is inserted in the lightly curled cloud temples, a silver twisted silk bracelet is worn on his creamy skin, and a moon white yellow flower pattern is worn on his waist On the embroidered gold satin sash, there is a sachet with emerald green background and branch flowers hanging on it, which is the only accessory with color.

There is a little bit of protruding feet, and it can be seen that they are wearing lake green soft-soled embroidered shoes, with a little white tassel hanging from the shoes. Standing behind the old lady, with her head slightly lowered, although she is only a high school student, her whole body It looks very dignified and atmospheric.

Because the second daughter is born of a concubine, she is naturally not as eye-catching as the eldest daughter, and the second daughter is only ten years old.

Wearing a smoky white double-breasted gown with embroidered hangbai chrysanthemums, a moon-white embroidered auspicious cloud pattern lotus leaf skirt that drags the floor, and a milky white leopard pattern bordered turned hair veil.

Her shiny black hair was combed into a pair of maid buns, and she didn't wear extra headgear except for two small flowers made of broken pearls around the base of the bun.

She wears a nine-turn exquisite silver ring bead bracelet on her hand, and a ruyi silk sash with a blue background around her waist, and a sachet embroidered with lotus flowers on a white background is hung on it.

Half of the shoes on her feet are exposed, and it can be seen that she is wearing small white shoes with embroidered lotus patterns. The ten-year-old girl already has the charm of "Xiaohe just shows her sharp corners", which may be the reason for living with her aunt , the kind that is very powerful at first glance because the little girl has a little arrogance on her face.

Although it looked fun when she was young, when she grows up, a concubine with such a temper must suffer.

The third lady is only four or five years old, just a lovely age, wearing a milky white dress with a rabbit fur seal on the side of the dress, she looks very cute.

The fourth young lady is born in the first wife's arms. She is two years old and she is holding her in Madam Wu's arms. She stares at her surroundings and babbles occasionally, making her even cuter.

Orphans and widows came to the first room.

The widowed mother was still dull, and the orphan was only two and a half years old, standing aside with his head bowed.

"Everyone is here." The eldest maid Shao Yao told the old lady in a low voice.

"Well, let's start then." The old lady sat upright in the hall.

"Yes." Shao Yao responded, and then loudly said: "Master, Madam, young masters and ladies, please greet the old lady.

The whole family stood together.

Wu Jun was the first one, Wu Youwei stood beside Wu Jun, his eldest son Wu Ying stood behind Wu Jun, and Wu's wife Huijuan stood on the other side of Wu Jun.

Beside her stood her eldest daughter, behind her were two concubines, and behind her were two aunts who had given birth to a child in one year, and four housewives.

What happened to Wu Youwei?

However, the seat next to him was vacant, and behind him stood the second sister-in-law who was holding the child in the second room.

Wu Ersao was originally dressed plainly, with white velvet flowers on her hair, followed by eight house maids, all of whom were used by Wu Bang, the second master of Wu.

Now they are all withered, following behind Mrs. Wu.

None of them had children, only Mrs. Wu had a son.

Looking at it this way, Mrs. Wu is very satisfied, and she feels relieved that the concubine's life is not good.

Everyone knelt and kowtowed: "Greetings to mother (grandmother).

"Well, let's all get up." Mrs. Wu enjoyed this moment very much, and the house was full of children and grandchildren: "Sit down and talk."

Everyone stood up, and men and women sat down separately, with men on the left and women on the right.

On the woman's side, there are only two people who can sit, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu.

On the man's side, there are only two people who can sit down, Wu Jun and Wu Maid. Wu Ying is standing. He is a junior and cannot sit on an equal footing with the elders.

Of the four ladies over there, one is sitting in the arms of the aunt, and the other three are standing behind the chair of the aunt.Behind them are the aunt and the housekeeper.

However, before she was seated, Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes and passed out!

"Second brother's family!" Mrs. Wu was taken aback: "Come on!"

Not to mention Mrs. Wu, everyone was startled, the housekeeper ran out quickly, and went to the doorkeeper to inform the housekeeper, please come doctor!

In such a shock early in the morning, everyone was still a little sleepy, but now they are extremely energetic.

The Wu family is in the capital, so it is not difficult to find a doctor. He will arrive in a while. He is an old doctor with white hair and white beard. Because he is getting old, there is no need to shy away from it. Mrs. Wu is taking a nap in the closet of the old lady's living room. When the doctor arrived, he immediately sat down and took the pulse.

Wu Youwei felt that the orphans and widows of the second room were also poor people, but it was a pity that his ability was limited and he couldn't help much.

Moreover, it is not easy for their men to interfere with the affairs of the female relatives, especially if the other party is a widowed wife.

So the men waited in the main room, and the female family members hid in the back room. Mrs. Wu and the old lady's maid, Shaoyao, were watching in the green gauze cupboard.

"Maybe it's because I'm too tired these days. The second sibling is still in good health, and it's good to take care of Qiong'er." Wu Jun was afraid that this was his mother's handwriting, so he tried to find a reason to excuse his mother from the very beginning.

The second brother is gone, leaving orphans and widowed mothers, do they still have to rely on the Wu Mansion to live?

Is there any benefit in embarrassing the second sibling?

The second sibling is a woman who is determined to be chaste!

"It's possible, not to mention the second sister-in-law, even my younger brother, I can't stand it." Wu Youwei didn't want to make the noise too ugly, especially if it was related to the widowed wife in the back house, and he had never heard the housekeeper mention the old lady and this What's wrong with a second daughter-in-law who looks like a soft noodle?

You know, this second daughter-in-law was chosen by the old lady herself, because of his soft temper.

Wu Ying didn't know what to say, so she just kept her mouth shut.

After a while, the old doctor came out, cupped his hands, and said slowly: "Congratulations, the second wife of your mansion, you are very happy.

Both Wu Jun and Wu Maid stood up!

Are you happy?

"How many months?" Old Man Wu, who also came out, asked the old doctor seriously when he heard this.

"It's been more than three months. It's just because the mother's body is weak and the sorrow is too much. It hurts the fetal gas, so I need to drink three or five sets of confinement soup." The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "I know that there is a white baby in your house. I can't eat meat, so I suggest you eat more eggs!"

"My son!" The old lady was taken aback when she heard the words, and then she cried and said, "You're going to have a child again, you know that!"

The old doctor stroked his beard, he was taken aback by his pulse just now, and thought that his filial piety was indiscreet.

Later, when I found out that it had been more than three months, I remembered, didn't the second master of Wu's mansion go there three months ago?

The old man also went there a month ago, so it's all connected.

"Mother, this is a good thing. The second brother only has one son, after all, he is a bit thinner. Now the second brother and sister are pregnant again, and God pity the second brother and send him a posthumous child." Wu Jun immediately said loudly: "Mother, mother don't want I'm sad, my father has already passed away because of my second brother, you can't do this anymore.

This mother's kindness and son's filial piety is very good.

Maid Wu bowed her head, and said a few words of persuasion: "Mother, the second brother has a spirit in heaven, he will be pleased!"

"Mother, the second sibling is awake!" Mrs. Wu came out at this time, with tears in her face.

What a good daughter-in-law!

"Hey, hey, I'll go in and have a look, go in and have a look!" After performing in front of outsiders, Mrs. Wu left the stage and went into the green gauze cabinet.

Wu Youwei also heaved a sigh of relief, it was finally not a scandal.

The old doctor also nodded in satisfaction: "Ling Ci is a good mother-in-law!"

"Mother is also scared. She hasn't been in good health since her second brother left, and her father left even more sad. Now it's good to have a happy event to make her happy." Wu Jun cupped his hands: "I'm in trouble today." You are old.

"You're welcome." The old doctor also bowed his hands in return: "I'll go and prescribe the anti-fetal medicine right now, just drink it for three to five days."

"The housekeeper's wife! The housekeeper's wife!" Wu Jun shouted.

"Yes, master." It was also the first time Wu Youwei saw the housekeeper's wife.

In the memory of the original owner, the housekeeper's wife usually rarely goes out of the second family, and they are all clean and neat women.

"Send the old doctor out, give the old doctor a first-class seal, and then send someone to the old doctor's pharmacy to get the medicine, and you will watch the decoction yourself." Wu Jun thought for a while: "Then come back and call the madam."

That's all he can do, and let his wife take over the rest.

"Yes, master." The housekeeper led the people and followed the old doctor.

The upper-class seal of the Wu family was a red envelope of five taels of silver, which was already quite a lot of money at that time.

The medium envelope is a red envelope of three taels of silver; there is no inferior envelope, only the first-class envelope, which is one tael of silver.

The reward money is twenty or thirty copper coins, not much, but it looks like a lot if you carry it in a bunch, it can be regarded as a reward at any time.

Don't look at the Wu family as a family of officials and eunuchs, but to be honest, it's really not high.

He also couldn't afford the kind of rewards in the Dream of the Red Chamber, which are often tens of taels of silver. That can only show that that is the life of the Duke's Mansion.

"Since the second sister-in-law is fine, the younger brother can't help here, so let's go back after telling my mother-in-law." Wu Youwei said to Wu Jun, "Brother brother, don't you want to go?"

The widow is pregnant with a posthumous child, so what's the matter with the two of them staying here?
