Chapter two hundred and ninety fifth birth, old age, sickness and death

"Mrs. Young Madam, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really didn't take any secret recipes when I was pregnant." Chen Danxia had a headache. His son had too many children, and to be honest, no one believed him.

"Mrs. Xu, I beg you." Lin knelt down, "I beg you, Mrs. Xu, I really have no choice. I beg God and Buddha, I seek medical treatment and medicine, but I have never been pregnant with a child in my stomach. If I can't give birth to a legitimate son, I will be retired to my parents' home, and then I will die. Mrs. Xu beg you to pity me and tell me the secret recipe for giving birth. I am willing to pay you a lot of money."

Chen Danxia reached out to help her, but couldn't pull her up. He let go of her helplessly and said, "Mrs. Young Madam, I really don't have a secret recipe."

Lin did not believe it, so he grabbed Chen Danxia's skirt tightly and begged hard. It was not easy for her to find this opportunity. Chen Danxia did not like socializing, and the two were not in the same circle, so it was rare to meet. She personally didn't mind going to the Xu family with a condescending reign, but her mother-in-law disagreed. This time she finally told Mrs. Pei to put this invitation to Chen Danxia. In order to prevent Chen Danxia from appearing too abruptly, she also invited the families of other low-level officials.

Chen Danxia couldn't even leave now. Although she knew that Lin was not easy, she really had no secret recipe. It was not that she didn't want to help, but that she was powerless. Chen Danxia looked up at the sky, who would help her solve her problems?

No one heard Chen Danxia's inner cry, and no one came to rescue her. Chen Danxia took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Young lady, if I really have any secret recipe for having a child, my eldest sister wouldn't have given birth to six daughters in a row." Chen Danyao has given birth to six daughters in recent years, and now she is pregnant again. If she has another daughter, then the seven fairies will be gathered together.

The Tian family also has a title to inherit, so why is Chen Danyao under great pressure? After all, there are still people in the Lin family serving as officials in the court, and Lin family still has a family to rely on. However, Chen Danyao has no family, so she is even more eager to have a son. If Chen Danxia had a secret recipe for having a child, Chen Danyao would have given birth to a son long ago, and she has firmly established her position in her husband's family, why was she forced by her mother-in-law to almost hang herself?

Lin was sure that Chen Danxia had no secret recipe for giving birth. His feet were weak and he sat on the ground, but his hands still did not let go of Chen Danxia's skirt. Chen Danxia bent down, pulled out the hem of the skirt, took a step back, and said, "Mrs. Young Madam, giving birth to a child will not be changed by human resources. It depends on the will of heaven. Sorry, I can't help you, so I say goodbye."

After saying that, Chen Danxia quickly left, and he met Yan Suxin who was worried about her before he went far.

"Sister, has she made things difficult for you?" Yan Suxin asked anxiously.

"No, let's go, sister-in-law." Chen Danxia didn't want to say more.

No one was in trouble with the newcomer in the Duke Pei Mansion. Princess Lingyou and a few girls were going to break into the new house, but fortunately she was stopped by the female official sent by Queen Zhao and did not make a joke.

Princess Lingyou has always wanted to recruit Zhao Chengzhi as her son-in-law, but how could Xiangqing Hou and Empress Zhao let her destroy the eldest son trained by the whole clan? Empress Zhao even said that she was infatuated. The son-in-law of the Dafeng Dynasty could not discuss politics and could only hold idle positions, so even the most favored princess could not recruit the eldest son-in-law as her son-in-law, let alone Zhao Chengzhi was still the prince who could inherit the title.

The reason why Princess Lingyou still remembers Zhao Chengzhi after she got married is her beauty.

What is the posture of heaven and man?

You can tell by looking at Zhao Chengzhi.

In terms of appearance, 6 Zhao is not worthy of Zhao Chengzhi. She is just a mediocre person. She only marrys a wife and takes a concubine and takes a beauty; her wife is virtuous and takes care of her husband and children, rather than serving her with beauty. She doesn't have much to do with her appearance.

That being said, Princess Lingyou didn't think so. She felt that if Zhao Chengzhi married a peerless beauty, she would recognize her, but Zhao Chengzhi married an ugly woman, she could not stand it. In fact, when Xu Lang married Chen Danxia, ​​no one wanted to provoke her. However, although Chen Danxia's appearance was not as good as Zhao Chengzhi and Xu Lang, she was also a first-class beauty. Xu Lang also took strict precautions and no one dared to make trouble outside the new house.

6 Zhao's wife looks dull, just like a flower inserted into cow dung. Of course, the flower is Zhao Chengzhi, and the cow dung is 6 Zhao. Unfortunately, no matter how angry or indignant they were, 6 Zhao entered the Zhao family and became the legitimate wife of Zhao Chengzhi's famous matchmaker. Even if she dies now, her tablet will enter the Zhao family's ancestral hall to enjoy the worship and incense of the descendants of the Zhao family.

Princess Lingyou's farce in the Xiangqing Hou Mansion was well known the next day, but Princess Lingyou's husband's family could only swallow their anger. Although Princess Lingyou was not favored, after all, the current emperor's sister is a golden branch and a royal bloodline.

After half a month of discussion, this matter was blocked by another scandal. The second daughter of the prefect of Jindu Prefecture elopes with someone and is missing. This kind of thing should have been done to cover it up and not be known. However, the first daughter of the prefect of Jindu Prefecture who was married did not believe that her sister would elope with someone, so she reported to the official and made the case public.

Jindu Mansion wanted to avoid this case, but I don’t know who suggested it. The emperor handed over the case to Dali Temple to investigate. The Dali Temple Minister might value Shen Bomi, so he asked him to investigate. This investigation revealed the problem. The second daughter of the prefect is indeed no longer at home, but she is not elopement with others. She was beaten to death by her stepmother, and her body was discarded on a cemetery outside the city.

Shen Bomi took people to the grave and found the body of the poor girl. After being offended, her ribs were broken three times and pierced into her lungs. She was hurt to death. From this case, it was found that the prefect, the step-grandma, not only killed her step-daughter, but also murdered several pregnant concubines.

Chen Danxia was creepy when he heard this and said to Xu Lang: "I must live longer than you, and I will never give you the opportunity to marry another woman and beat my son."

Xu Lang stretched out his long arm, grabbed her, pressed it on his leg, slapped her twice in the butt. Chen Danxia asked shamelessly, "Why are you doing a hit? Domestic violence!"

"I let you talk nonsense. In this life, I am the only woman. I will never marry you again with you. If you die, I will jump off the cliff and go to the underworld to find you. Don't even think of leaving me behind." Xu Lang's words are sonorous.

Chen Danxia's eyes were flowing, the corners of his lips raised, and his heart was sweet, but he said on his mouth: "You are older than me, you must die before me."

"I'm dead, you are not allowed to remarry. I will wait for you on the Naihe Bridge." Xu Lang said in a stern manner.

Chen Danxia twisted his thigh and said, "When you die, I am in my seventies and eighties. Who would marry an old woman?"

"So, we will be the only one in this life, next generation, next generation, let's make an appointment and be a couple, okay?" Xu Lang picked her up, pressed her face against her face, and asked softly.

Chen Dan laughed, "Okay."

The case was resolved, and the prefect of the prefect of Jindu Prefecture was over. The family was in chaos. How could this official do a good job? Shen Bomi was promoted to half a grade in this case and became the sixth-rank magistrate of Jindu Prefecture.

In early September, Yu Zhi took his wife and children back to Beijing and served as the Minister of Rites. Chen Danxia sent gifts and greetings, Chen Wanwan returned the gift and asked her to come and play when she had time.

At the end of October, people who went to Yunnan brought back two carts of jade, big and small. The Tao ordered people to send five pieces of jade, to Xu's mansion to Chen Danxia. Chen Danxia chose the largest piece to give to Mrs. Xu, and three pieces were about the same size, and gave to Qin, Xiao Wang and Sun Zhenniang. Chen Danxia left the smallest piece and made a set of heads and faces for Qing'er for a little girl.

"Thank you, mom." Qing'er knelt down and said as if she was looking like a slightest.

Chen Danxia laughed, "Be good." Chen Danxia should give Qing'er the food, clothing, use and housing as much as possible, but he must learn the rules and regulations, and you must know that he is grateful. Chen Danxia is unwilling to raise an ungrateful wolf.

In mid-November, the jade shop named Zhuoyulou opened. The jade shop has three floors, the first floor is divided into two, the left side sells untied jade, and the right side follows the meaning of Chen Danxia and puts a lot of raw stones for people to bet on. The second floor sells jade of relatively poor quality, and the third floor sells high-quality jade.

On the first day of opening a store, people with good luck spent only ten taels of silver to gambling stones and opened jade worth a thousand taels, attracting envious eyes of countless people. Those who want to get rich overnight flocked to the scene, Zhuoyulou's business was extremely hot, and the cashiers were sluggish.

The King of Yan, who was not well-off, was envious and said to Xu Lang: "Madam Zun is really good at making money."

Xu Lang smiled lightly and said, "The prince is wrong. Zhuo Jing can't do business. The jade artifacts are all handled by his mother-in-law." Chen Danxia's ability to solve puzzles was enough to attract the attention of the King of Yan. Xu Lang didn't want him to know Chen Danxia's strengths anymore, so he could only recommend Tao.

King Yan believed it, so he went to Tao to ask for the idea of ​​making money. Tao thought for a while and said, "It's too slow to make money by opening a shop, so it's better to open a silver mine."

The King of Yan's eyes lit up, "Where does Mother remember there is a silver mine?"

Tao recalled hard and said, "There is a silver mine on Hutou Mountain next to Minxi City."

The gold, silver, copper and iron ore cannot be mined in Dafeng's private private sector. The King of Yan thought about it and went back to discuss it. He pulled the Xiangqing Hou Mansion and the Jiangxia County Prince to join the gang and secretly mined it. Xu Lang, Shen brothers and Cheng brothers knew about this, but did not participate.

Although the king of Yan had the silver mine and had the money to raise private soldiers, he did not give up the treasure of Zhang family. He still asked people to collect Zhang family manuscripts from all over the country and sent them to the Xu family to Chen Danxia.

Day after day, year after year, three years passed by. In early July, the elderly Tao’s father and mother passed away one after another. At the end of September, Mr. Cheng passed away, and Cheng Jue was filial to death. Before Chen Danxia could come out of the sadness of the death of the three old men, Mrs. Xu fell ill.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm. Even though Xu Lang and Shen Danxia tried their best to invite several famous doctors and bought a bunch of good medicines, they still couldn't keep Mrs. Xu's life. Gradually, she could no longer eat anything and could not even take medicine. She drank half a bowl of water in the morning.

Peng Xin returned from the family temple and stayed in the temple for three or four years. Her clothes were cleaner than that of the widow Sun Zhenniang. She held a string of rosary in her hand, and seemed to be as calm as a tree. It was not until Chen Danxia looked at her inadvertently and captured the resentment that flashed through her eyes that she became secretly alert. This is a later saying. Now Peng Xin has just returned home and is kneeling in front of Mrs. Xu and crying.

Mrs. Xu's turbid eyes were gone, and she looked at Peng Xin and said, "Sister Xin is back. In the future, I will live a peaceful life. Brother Sheng."

"Grandmother, grandson is here." Xu Sheng knelt in front of Mrs. Xu.

"Brother Sheng, the young couple is here for old age. Sister Xin is the wife you married back from a famous matchmaker. You must treat her well, and don't make trouble again. You will have a man or a woman as soon as possible. Brother Sheng, a family like us, the rules of the superiority of legitimate and illegitimate children should not be messed up. If you are not a material for studying, don't study. Let your father find another way for you. When you grow up, you should learn to support your family." Mrs. Xu said weakly.

"Grandson knows, grandmother, don't worry." Xu Sheng choked and said.

Mrs. Xu opened her mouth, took a breath, glanced at everyone in the room, and said, "Old Yu, go and take out the things for them, I have only those things left."

Madam Yu had red eyes and took two maids in to bring out six boxes, five of which were for five grandchildren. Although Xu Chao died, he handed over to Sun Zhenniang. Each of them had a farmland, two shops and ten thousand taels of silver. In addition to these, one was for Xu Junyan, two farmlands, and 30,000 silver. Xu Junyan was the eldest grandson of the eldest son of the house, and it was common for him to give him one extra.

After the distribution of Mrs. Xu's private property was completed, Mrs. Xu looked tired and said, "You all go back to your room to rest. I want to be quiet." Her life has come to an end. Although she has not raised a good son, she is still the eldest grandson who is good, and she has married a good grandson and gave birth to five well-behaved and sensible great-grandsons. She is worthy of the ancestors of the Xu family.

Everyone retreated, and Xu Kui was a little depressed. Not only did Mrs. Xu not only gave him nothing, but he also scolded him in front of all the children and grandchildren. Shen Danxia looked at Xu Kui with an ugly face and felt a headache. Without Mrs. Xu's suppression in the future, this family would be in chaos.

Xu Lang reached out and held her hand, clasped her fingers tightly. Shen Danxia glanced at him and pursed his lips. The couple was united and they had the strength to break the gold. This family would not be in chaos.

Two days later, Mrs. Xu died.

Everything was ready, Xiao Wang was pregnant, but fortunately, Qin and Sun Zhenniang could help, and Shen Danxia was not very tired. Xu Lang went to the pass, and Ding You returned home to mourn. There was no war on the border and no war was needed. The emperor approved Xu Lang's pass.

The courtyard was temporarily sealed up, and all the remaining things in the house were Xu Lang's wishes. Xu Lang and Shen Danxia cleaned up for a day and packed up a few boxes of cages. According to Mrs. Xu's wishes, they released all the maids and mothers who served Mrs. Xu, and rewarded each with fifty taels of silver to settle the family. Shen Danxia convinced Madam Yu, who was going to guard the grave for Mrs. Xu, and left her at home to support her.

After finishing the funeral of Mrs. Xu, it was the end of the year. Because of the filial piety, I naturally spared the New Year. The Xu family, like the Tao family and Cheng family, closed their doors to thank guests, kept their filial piety, and had a quiet New Year.

-------------------

Note: I went out for dinner in the evening. When I came back, my husband was missing. My son and I didn’t look for him, so we went home first. He came back after a while. Then I asked him where he was. He said he met Qu Mazi (a female colleague who was better than him in the original unit and wanted to introduce his sister to him.) After a few words, I didn’t say anything. My son was beside him and said coldly, “You have a lot to say with other women.” My husband’s face was dark. I was stunned, and I didn’t expect him to say that.
