Happy Marriage

"Auntie Lian, I want to try it out for you with acupuncture. Can you hold back and not struggle?"

Aunt Lian's eyes suddenly filled with hope, "Acupuncture?"

An Sheng nodded decisively: "I use acupuncture to stimulate your acupuncture points, which can speed up your contractions. It can be said to be the same as a pregnancy drug. It's just that I'm just talking on paper, and I've never tested it myself."

Aunt Lian laboriously pulled out a little smile: "Miss An Sheng, you can use it with confidence. It is a hundred times stronger than the tiger and wolf medicine. I will definitely cooperate with you. I don't want to die, I want to grow up with my child."

"Okay!" An Sheng instantly became determined to gamble, and shouted: "Get my needle bag quickly!"

In the outer room, Mrs. Hou was sleepy and had already gone back to rest. Only the second young lady and the two concubines were still waiting. Wen Yan just smiled coldly and instructed the servant: "Go get it, but I want to see what she is capable of."

Jin Mi'er heard the words and ran back to the yard immediately, took the needle bag and handed it to An Sheng.

An Sheng took a deep breath and did not dare to neglect. According to the instructions in the book, he took three or four inch long needles. , Using different techniques and different degrees of stimulation, the needle sensation reaches the lower abdomen forward. For the remaining acupoints such as Qugu and Henggu, the method of leveling, supplementing, and reducing is adopted, and the needles are retained and operated intermittently.

The midwife's eyes widened in surprise: "It's useful, it's really useful, it's amazing!"

Aunt Lian's pain was gradually intensifying at this time, and the moaning and moaning became louder.

"The child is about to come down, work harder!"

The midwife kept urging.

An Sheng hurriedly closed the needle. Just after putting away the silver needle, after turning around, I heard a loud cry breaking out.

Instantly overjoyed.

The midwife said happily: "Congratulations to my aunt, she is a daughter of gold."

Aunt Lian was already weak and weak, lying on the bed like a pool of mud, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.

"Really? A girl?"

The midwife nodded happily: "She is a daughter of gold. Although it is not a month old, it seems that the pearls are round and jade-like, which is very good."

When the people in the outer room heard the child crying and rushed in, the midwife gave the order again.

Only Aunt Lian, there was no one in front of her.

An Sheng frowned and shouted aloud, "Learn the moon, embrace the moon!"

Lanyue just lifted the curtain and walked in slowly: "Miss An Sheng, do you have any orders?"

Seeing the neglect on her face, An Sheng didn't get angry, but he couldn't teach him a lesson. He could only suppress his anger: "Serve your master, clean up, and let her rest."

"Oh." Lanyue responded and went out perfunctorily.

After a while, two other girls were instructed to come in, and help Aunt Lian to simply scrub with **** water, clean up her body, and then exit.

Outside the window, there was already a faint bluish white.

It was quiet outside the house, and everyone dispersed. The girls are also busy, and have never seen Lanyue again.

The midwife put the child in front of Aunt Lian and happily accepted the reward.

The room was also quiet, and there was a faint smell of blood.

Aunt Lian was extremely weak, barely holding on, and said weakly, "Miss Ansheng, it's been hard work for you, you should go and rest for a while."

An Sheng gave a soft "um", but his feet didn't move.

"The child is so cute, but the daughter is caring, not crying or making trouble, how wonderful."

Aunt Lian reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips: "Miss An Sheng, I know what you mean. Are you afraid that I can't figure it out? Actually, I wish she was a daughter."

"Why?" An Sheng blurted out and asked.

This child has always been the expectation of the second room. If Aunt Lian becomes a man in one fell swoop, her position in the Hou Mansion will be solid in the future.

Aunt Lian smiled bitterly and said, "If she is really a man, I won't be able to keep her. The second young lady won't let her keep her by my side. In the end, mother and son will be separated. No matter the girl, I will have someone who will depend on each other in the future. My friend, there is hope."

She could think clearly, but An Sheng was a little surprised. She was really afraid that she would get into the horns again.

After the child was born, the second young lady of the outside world and others all dispersed, indicating that Auntie Lian had the right idea.

An Sheng smiled: "You can think of it this way."

"Thank you, Miss An Sheng, if it wasn't for you today, I'd be separated from my child." Aunt Lian said sincerely.

An Sheng shook his head: "Don't say that, I'm also guilty and meritorious. If it wasn't for the bad idea I gave you, you wouldn't have survived this time."

Aunt Lian glanced at the door, but she was hesitant to say anything, as if she had something to say to An Sheng, but she had no worries.

"I was not careful myself, no wonder Miss An Sheng, you have worked hard all night, go back and rest early."

An Sheng nodded, opened the door curtain, put his head in the moon and looked at An Sheng up and down: "Miss An Sheng is still there? Didn't you go back to rest?"

An Sheng glanced at her carefully. The big eyes, double eyelids, flat nose bridge, and thin lips were nothing compared to Aunt Lian. I'm afraid that second son is not blind, right? He was fascinated by her, and listened to her slander, but not Aunt Lian.

"I'll go back when you're done with your work and have time to take care of her." An Sheng said casually.

Lanyue pulled the curtain and walked in, holding a tray in one hand, on which was a bowl of steaming noodles and two poached eggs.

"Before the cooks came, they could only turn on the stove and cook a bowl of noodles to stop hunger."

"Is there a kitchenette in the yard?" An Sheng asked.

Auntie Lian smiled bitterly: "When I first got a body, I had severe morning sickness, so the second young master ordered someone to put the stove in the storage room next to him, and simply added firewood, rice, oil, and salt, that is, when I wanted to eat something more convenient. After that, it has been idle, and I have used it two or three times in total, and I only have some oily rice to make a simple bowl of soup."

An Sheng just asked casually, nodded, and told Aunt Lian a few more words before leaving the house.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a black shadow "swish" passed in front of him.

An Sheng was caught off guard, screamed in fright, and staggered back two steps before standing up.

I heard a "pop" in the kitchen, like the sound of fish churning and splashing.

At dawn, An Sheng took a closer look. It turned out to be a black cat that jumped up the courtyard wall, still turning his face to look at her reluctantly.

A little girl came out of the next room and rushed with a stick: "Seeing the sky, I ran into the yard and got into the kitchen and couldn't get out. Maybe a little bit of oily rice attracted the mice?"

Lanyue hurriedly chased out: "It should be the aroma of this soup that provoked it, and two eggs were beaten and it was meaty."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly closed the kitchen door and locked it.

"Scared Miss Ansheng?"

An Sheng shook his head: "Fortunately, I just didn't take precautions, and I just broke out in sweat."

I listened carefully to the side of my ear, and there was no movement in the kitchen.

Lanyue smiled "hehe": "It's just a little warmer today, these wild cats are not honest."

Lanyue's impression of An Sheng was a bit arrogant when she saw her a few times before. She was rarely so enthusiastic about her and took the initiative to talk to her. In An Sheng's eyes, she felt a little guilty and like a thief.

An Sheng's eyes flickered, he glanced at her, and then left and returned to his yard.

After a tired night, An Sheng was already yawning, but seeing that it was getting late, he cheered up and went to the old lady's yard after washing up.

It was early today, and the female family members in the house were still saying good morning, and they did not leave.

An Sheng stopped the servant from reporting, and waited outside the yard, unwilling to go in to join in the fun.

She was terrified of these duplicitous and intriguing women in the Hou Mansion, and she would hide if she could.

A group of colorful and red rings came out of the yard, An Sheng hurriedly dodged to the side, hidden behind a bunch of already green spring flower stands.

No one noticed her, filed out without looking sideways.

The two aunties I saw in Concubine Lian's courtyard last night fell behind, whispering to each other as they walked.

"Look at the second young lady's face today is really ugly. She was still so proud last night."

"The abacus that I've planned for so long has all come to nothing, I'm in a mess, and I can't pretend if I want to."

"That's right, after listening to the doctor's words, she said early in the morning that Auntie Lian's child must be a male child, and eagerly looking forward to raising it in her own name, she sent herself and the first two or three girls to serve her carefully. Now, the bamboo basket is empty."

"I don't think so," another aunt pouted: "Last night, Miss Ansheng said that she would go in and help Aunt Lian give birth. She was furious and reluctant. If I said that, she would rather not be able to keep both mother and son, and she would relieve her hatred. Now, don't be afraid that Aunt Lian will steal her favor. After all, after giving birth, there is still a chance. "

"Hey, it seems that the two of us are not favored by the Lord, but it is a blessing in disguise, at least we can live with all our needs."

"My aunt is Mrs. Hou, and she has her back. Can you rub sand in her eyes? We'd better be human with our tails tucked."

Seeing that everyone was far away, the two hurriedly took two steps, no longer gloating about misfortune.

An Sheng pondered for a long time, and some chills rose in his heart.

"Miss Ansheng? Miss Ansheng?" The previous servants looked around.

An Sheng hurriedly walked out from behind the flower stand.

"Old lady, please come in."

An Sheng nodded and followed suit.

The old lady had already had breakfast and was sitting and eating tea when she saw An Sheng with a wide-eyed smile: "I just wanted to send someone over to tell you, I have worked hard all night, and I don't have to come today, my waist is much better now. already."

An Sheng walked over to salute, and felt cramps in his legs when he squatted.

I squatted for too long last night, and now I have symptoms, and it is a little hard to get up.
