Chapter 355, Nursing Mothers (Part 2)
Mother Zhang sighed and returned to the wet nurses' residence. She couldn't help but mutter to the wet nurse Liu who lives in the same room: "I just want to serve my elder brother well. The empress is so careless." - The empress always takes several hours to accompany the sixth prince every day, and also gives the sixth prince a lot of other food. Mother Zhang rubs her swollen chest and quickly turns sideways and starts to squeeze out the excess milk.
Liu is also a young wet nurse, but he is the wet nurse of the fifth prince Hongzhou. Compared with the sixth prince, the fifth prince prefers breastfeeding and has a big appetite. Today, he is a poor mother Liu, who feels much more relaxed in her chest.
Mother Liu smiled and said, "It's not good to have a relaxed job? Concubine Xian has a high position and is generous in her actions. After a few years, the prince will be weaned and will definitely give you a generous reward. If you take it back and buy more fertile land, you can enjoy a happy life."
Mother Zhang lowered her head and squeezed milk into the basin. She didn't say anything, but only heard a clattering sound.
The palace is extremely wealthy and noble, and there are three broken rooms in the house, so it is better to stay in the palace.
Mother Liu sat on the head of the bed chewing on the bumps of milk, "Miss Yu is also a very kind person. She is very nice to us wet nurses. She eats and drinks well on weekdays, and gave her two Songjiang cloths before. But she hasn't seen her family for a long time, so she can't help but miss her. I wrote to my family that my little daughter can walk, but she always asks her father where she is going..." When she said this, Mother Liu started to cry.
Mother Zhang glanced at Mother Liu, and he started crying again!
After quickly putting on his clothes, Zhang's mother walked up to comfort Liu's mother, "Oh, why are you crying again? How great is it to be a wet nurse for the prince to be a wet nurse! Think about it, what kind of life do we live in our in-laws' family! During the confinement period, if you want to eat an egg, you have to be scolded by your parents-in-law! Didn't you give birth to a daughter because of this fetus? Didn't you give birth to a son before?" Zhang's mother suddenly felt a little anxious.
Both Zhang's mother and Liu's mother had a son and a daughter, and they had a good word. However, the family background was not "good". Even if the people of the cloaking banner have food to collect every month, they don't have to worry about starving to death, but they still have to find ways to make money by themselves. Many people of the cloaking banner are actually not easy to live.
Mother Zhang pointed at the milk lumps on your mother Liu's hand: "Since I got into the uterus, the milk lumps were chewed as snacks, and they have never stopped. Every day, crucian carp and tofu soup and good rice, except for not eating salt, where is it a hundred times better than at home?"
Liu's mother still sobbed, "I know that life in the palace is good, but what's the point of living a good life alone?"
Mother Zhang said, "Look at what you said! You sent back how much money and materials! Your life at home is much better than before!"
After hearing this, Liu's mother stopped crying. She nodded, "My little daughter has only been eating milk for a month. She has eaten sheep milk for more than a year. I don't know if she is used to it." - The money for buying sheep was or the *** family when Liu's mother was chosen as the wet nurse. Her family was poor, so where could she afford to buy ewes that gave birth to milk?
Zhang's mother secretly spat, saying that she should be content with a girl who can eat goat milk, but she never said this. She smiled and said, "Goat milk is also a good thing."
Mother Liu stared at her: "It's still not as good as our milk! Otherwise, why would the princess in the palace drink the wet nurse's milk?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhang's mother also knew Liu's temperament and quickly agreed, "Although your youngest daughter is separated from you, in a few years, if you go back with the severance money, your daughter will be able to live a better life."
After hearing this, Mother Liu felt much more comfortable. She nodded, "I think so too, so I gritted my teeth and went to the *** Mansion to register. I didn't expect to really choose."
Mother Liu stuffed another lump of milk into her mouth.
Zhang's mother looked at Liu's mother. She was about the same age as herself, and she was in her early twenties, and she was all the mother of two children. Liu's mother was also very rich, but she was not as fair as hers.
Zhang's mother straightened her chest secretly again, and Liu's mother was not as big as her. That's why she was chosen by Concubine Xian.
Thinking of Concubine Xian, Mother Zhang sighed secretly. Concubine Xian was very cautious and could not help him to serve the prince for a while.
Mother Zhang also took out a piece of milk and chewed it.
Liu's mother suddenly asked: "Sister Zhang, why didn't I hear you talking about your family?"
Zhang's mother curled her lips, "What's there to say! A lazy and lazy man, a nosy old woman, I ate two eggs during my confinement period!"
Mother Liu sighed and said, "It's not easy to live at home."
Mother Zhang spat fiercely, "I have seven or eight old hens, but my mother-in-law is watching them all day long, wishing she could hold them in her hands. I suspect that I stole eggs all day!"
Mother Zhang looked angry and took the boiled eggs with a warm and piping off the white egg green on the corner of the table. Mother Zhang bit her big mouth, as if she was making up for the hardships she suffered during the confinement period.
After eating three eggs in one breath, Zhang's mother suddenly felt a little melancholy, "It would be great if she could stay in the palace."
After hearing this, Liu's mother was surprised, "You are willing to give up your daughter?!" - Everything that is used to be wet nurses for the prince is born. Although Liu's mother doesn't know how many children Zhang's mother has, she must have a daughter.
Mother Zhang said lightly: "What are you reluctant to let go? I can even let my son go!"
Mother Liu frowned, "When the prince is weaned, the wet nurse will be sent home!"
"Oh." Zhang's mother sighed. It was because she knew this that she was worried.
Liu's mother advised her heart: "Don't worry about it. Isn't it good to go home and reunite with her family in two years? Although the palace is rich, the rules are also great."
Mother Zhang waved her hand, "I'm tired, go to bed."
Seeing that Zhang looked like he was indifferent to salt, Liu's mother spat secretly. Zhang looked charitable, but she didn't expect that she was cruel and even her children could be willing to leave them!
So, Liu's mother was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang, so she blew the light and fell asleep. In her sleep, Liu's mother dreamed that her eldest son and younger daughter were wet with her pillowcase again.
But Zhang's mother was sleepy. At dawn the next day, she rushed to Bitong Academy to serve the Sixth Prince, for fear that someone would take it first. The Empress Xianfei had always gotten up late, so there were not many opportunities to serve the Sixth Prince.
Yao Jiaxin got up late, but Hong Xiaoxu, a little baby, was also very sleepy.
Therefore, when Zhang's mother arrived, the nanny "shushed" and whispered: "The Sixth Prince is not awake yet."
Mother Zhang looked inside, "Then I'll go get water first and prepare."
The nanny squinted her eyes. This mother Zhang was becoming more and more diligent! The nanny smiled and said with a smile: "No more trouble, I have already ordered the eunuch to go. These are not your responsibilities, just concentrate on serving the prince to feed her breasts. If you are tired of you, the empress will blame you."
The nanny's words seemed to be caring, but in fact they were sarcastic. Mother Zhang also heard the smell, and her fat face was a little embarrassed.
