Imperial Capital, Xiangningbo Residence.

Shen Zangzhu, who temporarily replaced her sister-in-law in charge of the household, personally welcomed Mrs. Min and her youngest daughter Pei Liniang into the backyard.

The Earl's House was cleaned up inside and out, only the servants were very careful, lest a bad one would offend the master who was already in a bad mood.

Mrs. Min - this a few months ago due to the second daughter's marriage quite in the imperial capital attracted some discussion of the noblewoman at the moment completely no knee two daughters married into the valve parade, and are promised to the valve parade first son of the complacency, heavy look with worry. Before walking to Pei Meiniang's courtyard, she couldn't hold back her anxiety and asked Shen Zangzhu in a low voice: "Dare I ask you, Miss, my granddaughter ...... can now be okay?"

Shen Zangzhu gave a bitter smile and sighed: "A few days ago, my great aunt personally came over to visit, saying that ...... if one of the Divine Doctor Ji's master and disciples were in the Imperial Capital, it would be ...... good."

Mrs. Min's heart just sank, couldn't help but grip the hand of her youngest daughter Pei Liniang beside her - at noon on the seventeenth day of the first month, Pei Meiniang gave birth to a daughter at full term.

Although it is a daughter, but how is also the first grandchild of the Xiangningfu, and is the first born. So whether it is the Shen family or the Pei family, after receiving the news are also excited to come over to congratulate. But Mrs. Min was only happy that Pei Meiniang's delivery went smoothly and the mother and daughter were safe, and the congratulatory gifts were not yet packed, when she received a bad news: the newborn granddaughter was not doing well.

This so far has not been named baby girl, landing cry called in order to express the importance of nephew-in-law and nephew grandchildren, personally rushed to the maternity ward outside the town of Mrs. Su heart secretly shocked: Mrs. Su is the past person, as soon as I listened to that fine weak weak breath in the lack of cries feel that this nephew's daughter is afraid of some congenital ......

But then heard that the child was finally born, Pei Meiniang certainly fainted from exhaustion, but there is no major problem, up and down all celebrated a piece of good news around, she is not good to spoil the fun. As a result, the child washed and wrapped swaddling clothes, the stable woman held out to Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su looked at the heart of the cool half: on the basis of the child was born in full-term, even if it is a girl, not as strong as Shen Shuguang was born, but according to the usual thin and weak is also limited.

But the swaddling clothes in Mrs. Su's arms light and fluffy, no Shen Shuguang first time by the grandmother in the hands of the heavy feeling. Not only that, the swaddling clothes revealed a small face, the newborn child's reddish skin color through the wax yellow, crying voice subtle and weak - how to look at, how is a look of congenital deficiencies.

Mrs. Su can see, accompanied by her mother-in-law over Liu, Duanmu Clan are also people with children, also can see that the new landed cousin niece is not good. They have suffered a loss in the matter of Xiang Ningfu, this time since they dare not talk too much, but the previously prepared joyfulness is also put away, faintly said a few sentences such as: "It is a filial child, just like Guang'er, did not toss the mother to land."

"His eyebrows look very much like fourth brother, and he will certainly be a handsome child in the future."

At that time, Pei Meiniang was relieved to hear that the child had been born because of her exhaustion and fainted. And the eldest Miss Shen Zangzhu because she is a widow, afraid of bumping into the sister-in-law birth, until I heard that the niece successfully landed, sister-in-law safe and sound before rushing over to see their own nieces and nephews in a hurry - she is a widow of the festival, even though the Su family heir in the future, will be given to her heir, but that's a matter of the future, not to mention that the heir of the Su family and she has no blood, even if there is, it is a few times around down, where can be compared to the full nieces and nephews close. She has no blood relationship with the Su family, and even if she does, it's just a few times around, so how can she be closer than her nieces and nephews?

Unexpectedly rushed, but see Mrs. Su mother-in-law and daughter-in-law three face are not very good ...... Shen Zangzhu heart doubt, but after salute and pleasantries or can not wait to ask about the niece - know has been taken by the breastfeeding mothers earlier on the prepared house to go, Shen Zangzhu joyfully Ran to take a look, immediately understood ......

Originally, Shen Zangzhu himself did not give birth to a baby, saw the baby only fell to the ground is not much, and do not dare to just look at a glance to determine that the niece is not good.

But just three months ago, last year's November, shen convergence solid concubine cui yan gave birth to his concubine eldest son, that not long ago named luer yi child just landed on the ground by duanmu yanyu to carry to their room to raise, shen zangzhu went to congratulate, is to have seen a glance, but also personally embraced the - this than than the comparison out!

The fact is just as they feared, the baby girl crying weakly, landing not a few hours, even the breath is calm down - scared breastfeeding mother even rolled and crawled to run out the door to call for people, because Ji to go to the sick master and disciples are not in the Imperial Capital, the most reliable is the judge of the Imperial Hospital.

After the hospital judge arrived, carefully some diagnosis and treatment, but gave a good news and a bad news: the good news is that the Shen family this five granddaughter does not have any disease; the bad news is that the five granddaughter is indeed congenitally deficient, the physical quality is far worse than ordinary people, so need long-term conditioning.

Hearing that the court judge can cure, Shen family up and down greatly relieved, but a "long term conditioning" but let all the people have a headache. Because of the conditioning will have to drink medicine, but Miss five Sun is too small!

A child of this age can only drink milk, how can she drink the medicine? Even if we treat the medicine as milk and coax her to drink it, how much can she drink? And after drinking the medicine, she won't be able to drink any milk. Without milk. Without milk and water, her body will become weaker and weaker - it is already a weak body due to congenital deficiency, so how can you tell her to become weaker and weaker?

I had to let the nurse drink the medicine down, and then let her drink the nurse s milk ...... so that she turned a course, and the toning up was naturally very slow.

She was born in the early spring, landing a few days to catch the first warmth of this time, although Pei Meiniang personally take care of, this is not, a careless, even contracted the disease!

Mrs. Min brought Pei Liniang over today to visit the sick.

These days, children are not very well raised, the children of large families are even more delicate - two months of children, frail and sickly, can not grow into a bad thing. So although the people who went to the Pei family to report that the Shen family five granddaughter just a little cough, but Mrs. Min still tightened a heart: the first daughter is also the heir of the Shen family ah! Especially love his wife Shen Zanghui is now not in the Imperial City, sent his sister-in-law to the Western Liang, it is said to be directly under the hands of Shen Zangfeng sharpening, God knows when to come back ...... God knows when he came back will not bring new people or even concubine children ......

Pei Meiniang has a child, regardless of gender, can always be a side of the body! And when Pei Meniang just entered the door that will be the husband's family up and down the offense is not light, this will be the daughter if ...... not likely to gossip about it is not her ......

All in all Mrs. Min's heart was a mess!

To Pei Meniang live in the courtyard, a quiet piece, the servants see people come, far bowed and salute, but even dare not ask for peace, look terrified - Shen Zangzhu and Mrs. Min see this situation know that Pei Meniang must have just lost her temper, the heart even more worried.

When he entered the house, he saw several ambassadresses standing with their hands hanging down in the hall, and the curtain leading to the inner room was tightly covered.

Pei Meiniang's beloved envoy, Aman Aman, led the way up to salute them and greet them, saying softly, "The young lady is inside coaxing Miss Fifth Sun."

No sound could be heard in the inner room, and the party left the ambassadors outside and took off their rings before carefully lifting the curtain and entering the room.

Once inside, first smelled the faint fragrance of medicine, but saw the inner room against the window on the soft couch, wearing a homely half old dress Pei Meiniang, full of sadness and distress, holding a small swaddling clothes in a daze. Swaddling clothes wrapped tightly, revealing a small face, much whiter than at birth, but pale, eyes closed, slightly frowning small eyebrows, asleep.

Nursing mothers and servants stood by, all of them watching their noses and hearts, not daring to say a word.

"Mother?" Pei Meiniang saw the person come in and first frowned, only relieved when she saw the person clearly, holding her daughter as she stood up, "I'm sorry to trouble big sister." She also greeted her younger sister, "Why is Li Niang also here today?"

Mrs. Min and Shen Zangzhu's minds were focused on the swaddling clothes in her arms, and together they asked, "How is the child's cough?"

On the contrary, it was Pei Liniang, with her eyes fixed on her niece, who whispered back, "Mother brought me here."

But Pei Meiniang's mind was on her daughter at the moment, but she didn't hear her answer clearly, and endured her sadness and worry to answer her mother and great aunt: "Aunt Cao drank the medicine prescribed by the hospital judge just now, and fed her a meal, and this will be sleeping, and she won't cough for a while."

"Fever?" After all, Mrs. Min was the one who had raised two daughters and numerous concubine children, and had the best understanding of the difficulty of bringing up small children at this time of the year, and followed with another question.

This question made Pei Meiniang almost lost her voice and cried out in pain! Her eyes reddened on the spot, but she was afraid of waking up her daughter, and she held back for a moment before saying, "Fever, and it hasn't subsided."

Mrs. Min drew a breath of cold air - such a big child, just coughing to worry about not coughing up the voice, a good girl, look at the outline of the future is not difficult to grow handsome eyebrows, but then if it is an open mouth is a raspy voice can be how to do yo! But I do not want to start a fever, this time in the family of children under ten years old are often because of a high fever to go, Mrs. Min has seen two or three times brothers and nephews so passed away, not to mention only two months of baby girls?

Her heart jumped, but saw her daughter Pei Meiniang's look is already at any time to bawl out, and Shen Zangzhu is also white, this eye of the bone, if she put this speculation truthfully, Pei Meiniang afraid of can not directly fainted in a hurry?

Mrs. Min was busy biting the tip of her tongue, forcing herself to calm down, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, this will fall asleep and not cough, visible cough is not very strong ...... After a while about the heat will also retreat, the hospital judge is not to prescribe medicine? Perhaps the medicinal properties have not been up."

Pei Meiniang's heart is in a mess at the moment, completely out of ideas, listening to her mother say so, but caught a ray of hope, busy asked, "You mean ...... it doesn't matter?"
