Chapter 300 Isn’t It Good to Have a Daughter?
"Do you think that child looks like someone?" Madam Li asked the maid next to her.
The maid carefully recalled the cute little girl she had just seen, and after thinking for a while, she said: "The eyebrows and eyes seem to be somewhat similar to the wife of the Duke."
Madam Li's face suddenly darkened after receiving the affirmative words from the people next to her.
The maid didn't understand why the lady, who was originally happy, changed her face so suddenly.
Madam Li saw the figures of several people disappear at the end of the road, and then she turned and left.
Niu Niu kept feeling the cold sight behind her, and she was so scared that she hid in Shen Ling.
"My dear, do you feel cold?" Shen Ling asked, taking the cloak handed over by the maid and tying it on Niu Niu.
This is Shen Ling's cloak. After Niu Niu put it on, it dragged out a lot, which looked a little funny.
After Niu Niu disappeared from her sight, she shook her head and said: "Suddenly it was cold, and then suddenly it was not cold."
As she spoke, the little girl took off the cloak.
Shen Ling observed Niu Niu's complexion again and again, and only after making sure that she was really okay did she let the maid put away the cloak.
"It's strange, we didn't feel cold or hot." Shen Ling looked puzzled.
As they were talking, the group had seen several people gathered in front of them from a distance, and they seemed to be admiring the Erqiao peony.
Niu Niu also saw Zhang Yunniang, and immediately trotted over and threw herself into her mother's arms.
Zhang Yunniang turned her head and looked at Shen Ling.
"Are you good or not? Have you caused trouble for your sister Ling?" Zhang Yunniang asked softly.
Before Niu Niu could answer, Shen Ling said first: "Master's wife, Niu Niu shouldn't be too good, how could she cause trouble for me."
Zhang Yunniang was relieved when she heard this, and reached out to help Shen Ling tidy up the broken hair at the temples, with a natural and intimate action.
"Mom, I also met Sister Li today. Sister Li is so beautiful and speaks very gently..." Niu Niu nestled in Zhang Yunniang's arms and acted coquettishly.
Shen Ling smiled and said, "Niuniu is looking more and more like the master's wife."
Zhang Yunniang said casually, "Really? Sometimes I look at her and feel that this child looks more like her father."
Niuniu said, "I am the child of my father and mother, so I look like both my father and mother!"
Zhang Yunniang couldn't help laughing when she heard this. If no one mentioned it, she wouldn't even remember that Niuniu was an adopted child.
"Mrs. Gu has a son and a daughter. Her son entered Baiyun Academy and her daughter is well-behaved and sensible. She is really blessed." Mrs. Zheng on the side suddenly said.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Niuniu with longing.
Zhang Yunniang and Mrs. Zheng knew each other before. Mrs. Zheng's sister-in-law had continuous bleeding after giving birth. She was Zhang Yunniang's client, so Zhang Yunniang also knew Mrs. Zheng's heart disease, which was similar to that of Mrs. Li in the past.
After being married for many years, they had no children.
She was even more upset than Li, because her husband took several concubines because of this matter, and the concubines gave birth to children, which made her knees look lonely.
Zhang Yunniang said softly: "Madam is kind-hearted, maybe it won't be long before your wish comes true."
Madam Zheng showed a bitterness at the corner of her mouth and said: "I am unlucky, I just hope to have children, and I can have hope in my heart."
Zhang Yunniang didn't know how to comfort her.
Niuniu suddenly grabbed Madam Zheng's hand and said: "Auntie, smile more, you are happy, the little baby will come to you."
Madam Zheng heard this, and she was so anxious that she grabbed Niuniu's hand on the spot and asked: "Will there really be a little baby coming to me?"
After she said this, she immediately realized her loss of composure and wanted to retract her hand immediately.
But Niuniu held her hand and said, "Aunt is a good person, there will definitely be a child."
Even if it was just a child's casual words, Mrs. Zheng, who was eager to have a child, felt that it was precious, and her face was visibly happy.
Niuniu continued, "The little baby also hopes that mother will always be happy."
Mrs. Zheng nodded vigorously, "Yes, you are right, who would like a depressed person!"
Although Mrs. Zheng made a promise, she still couldn't help feeling depressed when she saw other people's children around their knees.
Zhang Yunniang reached out and gently touched her daughter's nose, and whispered, "You child, if people don't give birth to a child in the future, what will they do if they blame you?"
Niuniu said crisply, "The little babies are choosing their parents in heaven, and they also want to be born into a good family. If mother is happy, they will naturally rush to be born into her babies!"
Zhang Yunniang thought of Niuniu's specialness, and for a moment, she couldn't tell whether this was true or false.
On the other hand, another chubby official lady heard a few words of the conversation between the two and suddenly asked: "I remember that this child seems to be Madam Sun's goddaughter?"
Zhang Yunniang nodded.
The chubby official lady immediately clapped her hands vigorously: "That's right, it turned out to be Little Fuwa!"
She pulled Madam Zheng and said: "You listen to Fuwa, it's right!"
Madam Zheng was confused.
The fat lady immediately explained: "My sister's husband is from the same hometown as Lord Sun. My sister's brother-in-law is now in mourning in his hometown. They wrote to me before and said that Lord Sun's goddaughter is Little Fuwa, and whoever he points to will get pregnant!"
Madam Zheng immediately became energetic again: "Really? Is it true?"
The fat lady smiled and said: "Madam Sun has not been pregnant for so many years. When Lord Sun was taking the exam before, he almost went to Beijing with him. He met Little Fuwa on the way, and Little Fuwa immediately concluded that she was pregnant! Guess what? She was really pregnant! Later, she gave birth to a big fat boy!"
The way Mrs. Zheng looked at Niu Niu was like looking at a golden ingot.
"Later, the Sun family held a banquet, and a bunch of rich ladies gathered around the child, begging her for blessings. Guess what? Oh, many ladies got pregnant when they returned home! Do you think it's strange or not?" said the fat lady with a smile.
Mrs. Zheng immediately held Niu Niu's hand again: "Good boy, can you... can you... give your aunt a little more blessing?"
As she spoke, she took off the jade pendant from her waist and forcefully put it into Niu Niu's hand.
Niu Niu said helplessly: "Aunt, as long as you are happy, you really don't need to give me gifts."
But Mrs. Zheng insisted that Niu Niu accept it.
While the two were chatting, they made a bit of noise, and the other ladies couldn't help but look over.
Some people also asked.
The fat lady was very helpful and talked about the matter in just a few words.
In the crowd, someone's mind moved.
There are many ladies in difficult situations like Mrs. Zheng.
A certain official wife who gave birth to five daughters in one breath ran over with a piece of gold and asked Niu Niu with a smile: "Good boy, since you are a lucky one, can you tell me when I can give birth to a son?" ?”
After hearing this, Niu Niu frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask: "Does Auntie have to have a son? Isn't a daughter bad?"
