Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Daiyu clearly remembered that her mother said that General Han had been on the battlefield for nearly 40 years, and that he was 56 years old this year. She thought that General Han had weathered many hardships, so he should look older than his actual age.

Unexpectedly, after entering the main courtyard and crossing the threshold, Daiyu looked up and saw a kind elder wearing a black cloak standing in front of the main hall. He looked about fifty years old, with black beard and hair, hale and hearty, handsome, and Aunt Han is six to seven points alike.

Daiyu secretly wondered, could this old man with a kind temperament be General Han?

Then she saw Aunt Han quicken her pace, ran over in a few steps, supported the old gentleman and smiled, "Father, why did you come out?"

General Han patted Aunt Han's hand and said with a gentle smile, "When there are guests at home, you always come out to greet them."

Daiyu walked down the steps and was about to salute with Aunt Ge, but before their footsteps stopped, General Han stopped them and said, "Don't be too polite! It's cold on the ground, let's go inside!"

"Ge Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have learned to be so polite?"

Ge Xiao laughed loudly and said, "I haven't seen you in a few years, the general is still so tough, and hasn't changed at all."

When Ge Xiao took Daiyu and Lu Qingyinglian up the steps, General Han nodded and said in admiration, "They are all good boys, go into the house quickly, isn't it freezing on the road?"

Han Qiongnian consciously closed the curtains for his father, his sister, and the little girls. Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and said back to General Han: "To Grandpa Han, the car is warm and we are not freezing. Thank you Grandpa Han for your concern."

Seeing such a little girl, General Han called out "Grandpa Han" one after another, and his expression became more kind. He entered the door and beckoned, "Come in, come in."

Because it was Han Qiongnian who opened the curtain, when Daiyu, Lu Qingyinglian and the three of them entered the door, they all bowed to him.

No matter how familiar she is with Aunt Han, after all, it's her first visit to someone's house. The three of them are daughters of the Lin family, and they represent the Lin family.

The main hall is very large, without all the decorations that are common in ordinary rich and noble families. There is only a piece of writing on the wall in the middle, with four big characters "loyal to the emperor and serve the country" written on it, dripping with ink and majestic.

There is a red sandalwood chair on the front, and a tiger head is carved on the armrests on both sides. The tiger's eyes are round and majestic.

There are six rosewood chairs on each side, one chair at a time, and there is no other furniture in the main room.

There are landscape screens erected on the east and west sides of the main room, so it is not clear how the interior is arranged.

From the corner of her eyes, Daiyu secretly looked at the house, and then saw that there was no carpet under her feet, the same color of ink and blue bricks, without even patterns, her heart was firm, and she was not tempted by external things. As expected of General Han, who has been in the position of General Ningyuan for nearly 20 years, yes Wala was undefeated.

General Han sat on the head, and Ge Niangzi led Daiyu and the three girls and women who brought her to kowtow to pay their respects.

Daiyu just kowtowed, and General Han hurriedly said, "Get up, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly, what are your names? How old are you this year?"

Han Qiongying took them and introduced them one by one: "This is the eldest girl of Governor Lin's family. Her name is Lin Han. She is 12 years old this year. This is the goddaughter of Governor Lin's family. Her surname is Zhen and her baby name is Yinglian. She is fifteen years old this year. .”

Daiyu Yinglian bowed her knees again, watching Han Qiongying pull Lu Qing and said with a smile: "This is the daughter of Senior Sister Ge's family, named Lu Qing, who is also 12 years old this year, and was also recognized by Mrs. Su as her daughter."

General Han recognized them one by one, and said with a smile: "Ge Xiao, Mrs. Su raised your children so well for you, have you thanked her?"

Ge Xiao smiled and said, "Hey, thank you, Mrs. Su's own goddaughter can't take good care of her? I'm not being polite to her."

General Han Da and Han Qiongnian knew that Ge Xiao was very comfortable in Lin's house.

Because it was getting late, General Han and Han Qiongnian were elders, but they were male elders, so it was difficult to talk to the little girl, so they got up and went to the backyard.

General Han said as he walked: "Your uncle's family doesn't have a girl, they are all brothers and sisters, it's inconvenient to be late today, see you tomorrow."

Two tables had been prepared in the backyard. General Han took the main seat at one table, Ge Xiao took the seat, and Han Qiongnian sat with him. There was no taboo between men and women.

In the back room is Han Qiongying sitting around a table with five children.After drinking three rounds of wine at the table, Daiyu tentatively asked Han Qiongying, "Aunt Han, I just heard my uncle say that my aunt is not in good health. I don't know what's going on? Is it convenient to ask?"

Han Qiongying sighed: "Good boy, it's not inconvenient."

"Your aunt's family is not the family of a general, but a family of poets and books from the south of the Yangtze River. Back then, their family was an official in Ganzhou, so the two got married."

"You also know that among the daughters of civil servants, there are very few daughters who practiced martial arts and horse riding since they were young. What they pay attention to is not to say anything, to be quiet and virtuous."

"Xining is bitter and cold, and it is not as rich as Jiangnan. Your eldest aunt first came to Xining because of the unsuitable climate and unacceptable water and soil, and suffered a lot."

"However, when I went to Beijing, your eldest aunt was in good health. It was only when I came back this year that I realized that she was so weak."

Daiyu lowered her eyes to think for a while, and then asked, "I don't know what the doctor said?"

"It's not that I have to ask too much. When our family came back to Ganzhou, there was a former envoy from the Imperial Hospital Jiang who was with us. Aunt Han should also be familiar with it."

"If it's convenient here, I'll go home and tell my mother to invite Grandpa Jiang to treat my aunt. Maybe it will be all right."

Han Qiongying smiled pleasantly: "Doctor Jiang is here too? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Since Grandpa Jiang resigned from the Taiyuan Hospital and came to Ganzhou, he doesn't like to socialize very much, or he doesn't go out for ten days and half a month, and once he goes out, he doesn't come back for two or three months."

"One month before Aunt Han came to my house, Grandpa Jiang heard that there was a good medicine in a certain place in Sichuan, so he took someone there and went there. We haven't come back before we left."

The door of the main room was not closed, and the curtain was not drawn, and the voices of people talking in the room could be heard clearly in the main room.

Ge Xiao saw that General Han and Han Qiongnian were both happy, and laughed at Han Qiongying in the room: "You have been in Ganzhou for two months, and you either go out or watch your children go to school every day. How can you know this?"

She turned her head and said to General Han: "Although the envoy Jiang was not an envoy before he was old, he was almost the top of all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital. He is skilled in medicine, especially good at gynecology and pediatrics. Even the empress of the palace, His Royal Highness the crown prince, all depended on it." A Jiang Yuan envoy takes care of him on a daily basis."

After hearing this, Han Qiongnian stood up and bowed to Daiyu, "My great niece, if the Jiang Yuan envoy returns to Ganzhou, my niece and wife invite this Jiang Yuan envoy for me, I will be very grateful."

Daiyu hurriedly got up to avoid it, and said with a smile: "I'm just helping to spread the word, I can't afford the gift of the uncle, I will let my mother know when I go home, and I must be punished."

General Han said: "Han'er doesn't need to be polite to him, even though you are just helping to spread the word, you might be able to save his wife's life, he made his own crimes, thank you, you just accept it!"

After Daiyu got her first name, her parents and gentlemen at home still called her "Yu'er", but the wives outside all called her "Han'er".

Only Jing Lan knew Daiyu's name today, and she couldn't react when she heard it, so she asked doubtfully, "Who is Han'er? When did Sister Yu'er also call Han'er?"

Han Qiongying and Ge Xiao, who knew Daiyu's baby name, couldn't help but smile, and Lu Qingyinglian couldn't help but curl her lips.

Han Qiongying quickly pulled Daiyu and explained with a smile: "Our eldest girl's first name is Lin Han, and her nickname is Daiyu."

"I thought that when the girl is older, she won't mention her baby name when she has a big name. Who knows that a silly girl like Jing Lan doesn't know, so she asked again."

After Jing Lan finished asking, she knew that she had committed a fool. She dragged Yinglian and Lu Qing and said embarrassedly: "I'm used to calling sister Yu'er on weekdays, but I didn't react when I heard Han'er for no reason."

General Han laughed and said: "Our two families are not outsiders, so I will rely on the old to sell the old, and call the eldest girl Yuer?"

Daiyu nodded hurriedly.

Han Qiongying took Daiyu back to the table, and gave her and Yinglian Lu Qing some of their favorite dishes: "Eat quickly, I have been on the road for several days, and I haven't had a good meal."

"If your wife sees that you have lost weight when you go back, she blames me and kills you in Xining, I can't take the blame."

There were a few laughs at the table, while Daiyu was eating the vegetables, she was thinking about what General Han said just now, "He did it himself."

He then thought of what his mother said that Han Zongbing was 36 years old this year, and his wife Song Shi was the same age as him, but they had five children together.

The eldest son Han Yuanjin is 19 years old, the second son Han Yuanzhi is 17 years old, the third son Han Yuanpei is 14 years old, the fourth son Han Yuanhong is 12 years old, and the fifth son Han Qiye Han Yuanming is eight years old.

Calculated in this way, Mrs. Song was pregnant at the age of 16 and gave birth at the age of 17. In the next ten years, she gave birth to a child almost every two or three years.

In addition, my mother said that Mrs. Song's biological mother died early, and her stepmother was in charge of the family. Not every stepmother is like her mother, who is closer than her own mother. If you think about it, your body will not be very healthy when you come to Mrs. Song's boudoir.

Childbirth depletes a woman's energy and blood, which is very harmful to her body. After giving birth to Qingyu, her mother took a full year or two to recover under the careful care of Grandpa Jiang and Nanny Shui.

Mrs. Song is in Xining, and there is no good doctor who is good at gynecology around her. It is not surprising that she has given birth to five children in a row, and her body is weak and deficient.

Daiyu sighed inwardly, thinking that even if the children should not meddle in their parents' affairs, after returning home, she would definitely persuade her father and mother not to have any more children.
