Ye Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then her face became happy: "You have a baby?"
Afterwards, Ye Jiao grabbed Hua Ning's wrist, and quickly felt the slippery vein, which was naturally pregnant.
Hua Ning nodded, but his voice was still small: "Yes, I told you and the emperor's brother and sister-in-law, even Ping Rong didn't know."
This made Ye Jiao stunned and puzzled: "Why doesn't my brother know?"
Hua Ning smiled and held Ye Jiao's hand: "He has been busy with official business recently, and the emperor has sent him a drawing assignment, even I have to hide it from me. Every day I leave early and come back late, I feel very tired just looking at it. He was always nervous about me again, and told him that I was afraid that he would be distracted again, so I thought about sitting down after a while and then talking about it.”
Ye Jiao knew that Hua Ning felt sorry for her eldest brother, so she nodded, but she couldn't hide the happiness on her face: "In this way, I will be... um..."
Probably because she was overjoyed, Ye Jiao couldn't think of what Hua Ning's child wanted to call her.
Fortunately, Hua Ning has a clear mind, and said with a smile, "I should call your aunt, but it's only been over a month, and it's still too early to speak."
Ye Jiao nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I heard my mother say that children can't talk about it when they are young."
Ye Jiao couldn't remember why she couldn't talk about it, but she remembered everything Liu Shi said well, and regarded it as a must for learning to be a human being.
At the moment, Ye Jiao just looked at Hua Ning as if she was looking for a baby, and from time to time she would reach out and gently touch her lower abdomen, her movements were extraordinarily gentle.
Hua Ning thought Ye Jiao was fresh and left her alone, but she didn't know that Ye Jiao wanted to help her raise a child in her womb.
Even though she was only a month pregnant, the baby was not stable at this time. Ye Jiao, this little ginseng, was more nourishing than anything else, and it would be beneficial to touch it more.
However, Ye Jiao didn't shout about Hua Ning's pregnancy, she just whispered to Hua Ning, and wouldn't tell others about it, especially now that there are many noble women around, it's hard to say more.
After a while, Ye Jiao sighed: "It's so fast to count the days."
What Ye Jiao said was sincere.
She herself was a blind marriage with Qi Yun. At that time, the little ginseng just became a human being and didn't understand anything. Qi Yun entered the bridal chamber with He Li Shu, and was a man who was always worried that he was going to die or live. Unintentionally dragging her down, the two of them dragged on for several months before they came clean and consummated the marriage. It was a long time after they got married that they were pregnant with a child.
Not to mention Mrs. Dong and Empress Meng, the former was hurt by the child, and the latter was ruined by the drug, both of which were considered as difficult children and hard to find.
Now that Hua Ning has only got married in April, there is good news, which is definitely a top-notch efficiency.
However, Ye Jiao's words made Hua Ning's face turn red, especially when he thought of the days when he was entangled by Ye Pingrong and didn't get out of bed for three days after getting married, Hua Ning wanted to take a few bites on Ye Pingrong to vent his anger.
The Langjun you choose, you can use it yourself.
It's just that she had seen the books Qi Yun and Ye Jiao gave to Ye Pingrong, she was really embarrassed, and now that Ye Jiao said that again, she couldn't hang her face, and she took a sliced pear with chopsticks. It was directly stuffed into Ye Jiao's mouth, making the little ginseng look inexplicable.
Ye Jiao ate the pear in her mouth, only to feel that her mouth was full of sweetness, with a smile on her face, and said, "It's very sweet, Yingxiu's garden is so good, but the melons and fruits are so delicious, it's so delicious that my mouth is full."
Hua Ning put down his chopsticks and pressed the back of his hand to his reddish cheeks. Seeing Ye Jiao's calm face, he snorted and stopped talking, just talking about other things with Ye Jiao.
The people around found that they were no longer hiding in one place to talk privately, so they came over to laugh, and the atmosphere was very warm.
But when the excitement about Hua Ning's pregnancy dissipated, Ye Jiao noticed that Shi hadn't come back yet.
She was a little worried, so she turned her head and said to Xiao Su, "Go to someone and ask where Yingxiu is. If you have any trouble, you can help me."
At this time, Shi Shi was indeed in trouble, but this trouble came to him.
Looking at the man standing in front of him, Shi shi supported the woman beside him and kept a distance of five paces, not too far or not too close, and when he spoke, he was very alienated: "Master Liu, what I am entertaining today is The female relatives in Beijing have nothing to do with you."
Liu Rong stood there straight, as if he was a little nervous. He didn't know how to position his hands and feet, so he could only act as tense as he was in a military camp, standing like a long spear stuck to the ground. When he got up, he subconsciously slowed down his voice: "I... I got a beautiful bead hairpin, I bought it for you, I didn't know I disturbed your banquet, sorry."
Shi Shi faced Liu Rong, for a while, he couldn't explain what he felt in his heart.
Since the last time Liu Rong met in front of Qi's house, he often came to him to show his hospitality.
At first Shi Shi thought he had a good heart. After all, it was all Liu Rong's rescue that prevented him from falling, but Liu Rong had a straightforward temper and quickly revealed his purpose.
This person, in pursuit of himself, uses a particularly direct method.
Sending a dragon beard candy today, a little clay figurine tomorrow, one foot in the sky and one foot on the ground, it doesn't look like it's for a woman, but it looks like coaxing a child.
Shi Shi is not stupid. On the contrary, she is much smarter than ordinary women. She can see clearly the mind of this person, and Shi Shi knows the true heart.
However, not every sincerity in this world will be rewarded.
Now that she lives alone, she has her own female household, she lives happily, and she has long since given up her mind about marriage, and Shi Tianrui has made it clear to her that her elder brother will not feel that she is a drag, and Shi can support herself now, no matter what. You must rely on your husband's house again.
Liu Rong admired her, that was Liu Rong's own business, Shi Shi hadn't thought about marrying him.
Therefore, whether it was food or stuff, Shi Shi sent back everything that the man sent, and nothing was left.
Occasionally see Liu Rong, Shi Shi only treats each other with courtesy, but this person always rushes to do things for himself, although he is very careful every time, for fear of smearing Shi's reputation, but Shi is avoiding him more and more.
Before, he had been unfamiliar and polite, but Shi Shi found out that Liu Rong was good, but he hid further.
Liu Rong is persevering and persevering.
Shi Shi was the first to see such a shameless person. She had mentioned it to Shi Tianrui vaguely before. Who knew that when Shi Tianrui mentioned Liu Rong, he said it was a good thing. For fear of interfering with his brother's future in the court, he could only close the door to Liu Rong.
But if he said that he didn't have any good feelings at all, it would be Shishi's deception, but this vague goodwill was far from enough to make Shishi regain the courage to walk into the back house.
She had suffered so much before that she almost lost her life, and now she doesn't dare to gamble.
Who knew that Liu Rong looked like a rough man, but he was very persistent, and now he ran into her orchard.
Shishi looked up at him. He had been cold before, and he had shouted in anger before, but these were not easy to use. Liu Rong could laugh at her every time. This time Shishi could only say the truth helplessly: "Master Liu, you are still young, and you are three years younger than me. You have a lot of good prospects. You don't have to spend time on me, you naturally have a better girl to match."
Liu Rong didn't hear the cold words here at Shi's, he was happy, and he spoke a lot more lightly than usual: "It's okay, in my heart, you are the best girl, my mother said, It is suitable for juniors to hold golden bricks.”
Shi Shi was taken aback: "What did you say..."
Liu Rong was originally a martial artist, and he didn't have so many twists and turns. He was optimistic that no one around would dare to show his face, and when he spoke to her, he spoke more directly: "I want to marry you. As a wife, sincere and sincere, the world can learn from the world, as long as you nod your head, I will go to Lord Shi to hire you now."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Shi's face immediately turned red.
She has seen many people, and there are not a few people who are eager to show their hospitality, especially after Shi Tianrui gained power, there is no shortage of those who secretly send love poems, Shi Shi didn't even look at it, just because she knew that there was no sincerity in it.
There are many twists and turns, but Shi Shi has never seen such a straight line.
However, Liu Rong said that he was sincere, so he had to swear and swear that Shi knew that he was sincere and naturally would not question his sincerity, but he was still shocked.
She couldn't tell whether she was ashamed or angry, but what she said when she was angry was not so polite: "If you are really determined, why don't you go directly to the three media and six hires?"
Seeing her like this, Liu Rong was frightened, looked at her carefully, and spoke in a much lower voice: "I was thinking, first ask if you are willing to get married."
Shi Shi glared at him: "I told you before, I'm not happy."
Liu Rong responded, but without any frustration, he said, "It's okay, maybe you'll be happy after a while, I can wait."
… shameless!
Shi Shi glared at him without saying a word for a while.
Seeing her like this, Liu Rong knew that he was abrupt, for fear of making Shi Shi angry, and hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, if I cause you trouble, I will wait quietly in the future, and when you are happy, I will go to hire ."
Afterwards, Liu Rong carefully put the pearl hairpin he brought onto the stone table beside him, and then dodged into the woods and disappeared.
Shi Shi gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words: "This person's hard work, but he uses it to do this kind of sneaky things, seriously... Really..."
I talked for a long time, but never said anything bad.
The old woman was a little angry for Shishi: "This person is too sloppy, and he has no rules at all."
I thought this would make Shishi agree, but who knew that Shishi, who had just scolded him, whispered: "Speaking of Meng Lang, he has far more rules than those men with ulterior motives, at least he didn't give it to me in a grand manner. Everyone knows about things, and they know how to avoid people and take care of my reputation."
The old woman was taken aback for a moment, and she couldn't help but look at Shi Shi.
In fact, what kind of crooked eyes are those men chasing after Shi Shi, the old woman knows clearly, it is nothing more than seeing that Master Shi has a better life and Shi Shi is profitable, so she is rushing to say some sweet words to deceive own master.
That is to say, this reckless man is meticulous in everything and always considers Shi's sake, which is considered sincere.
But what really surprised the mother-in-law was that Shi Shi was actually defending Liu Rong.
Thinking about it now, it seems that Liu Rong never asked Shi Shi if he liked him, only if Shi Shi was happy to marry him now.
Now that I think about it, Liu Rong seems to be certain that his master is attracted to him...
Before, the old woman thought it was Liu Rong's wishful thinking, but now it seems that it is more like a mandarin duck who is in love with each other but does not cross the thunder pool.
Shi Shi is a smart person, but Liu Rong was so angry just now that he couldn't figure it out, so he just turned his head and wanted to leave.
But after taking a few steps, Shi Shi turned back and said to the old woman: "Put the hairpin away," the voice paused, as if explaining, "I don't want to be picked up by others and cause me trouble."
But I didn't know that the old woman had already guessed in her heart. Now that she heard this, she was more certain that her master had been tempted but didn't know it, so she held back her laughter and trotted over to put away the hairpin.
Shi Shi took a deep breath, covered her cheeks with the back of her hands, and made sure her complexion was normal. Then she returned to the banquet hall with the old lady. When she entered the door, she saw Xiao Su who was looking at the door, and knew that Ye Jiao had arrived. After walking a few steps in a hurry, Liu Rong's matter just now was forgotten.
And after she entered the door, she looked as usual, smiling indifferently to deal with the female guests present, calm, calm, and could not see the shame and anger just now.
Especially after seeing Ye Jiao, Shi Shi even showed a smile and took Ye Jiao's arm to talk to her.
Shi Shi's master is here, and this melon and fruit feast will officially begin.
Ordinary women gathered together, not like men who want to ride horses and shoot arrows, but play some interesting games.
Those with literary talent gather together to compose poems in one place, and those who are willing to play can throw pots and pills.
The noble girls in the capital have gathered to play games since they were in the boudoir, and naturally have their own circles. Playing with people they know can also pass the time and enhance friendship, and the quality of their relationship sometimes represents the With the relationship between her husband's family or her parents' family, even if you just stand aside and look coldly, you can figure out what the situation in the capital is today.
Those who have a heart will naturally pay attention, but Ye Jiao seems to be at ease.
Ye Jiao came here to see Shi Shi. Now that she knew that Hua Ning's pregnancy was a surprise, she didn't care so much about other things.
However, there were many people who came to talk to Ye Jiao. Most of them knew that Ye Jiao and Queen Meng had an old relationship, so they came to get to know Ye Jiao. Even if they were not necessarily good friends, they were better than strangers. They would always be useful in the future.
Ye Jiao has also had some ways to deal with them over the years. When talking to them, she has a gentle smile, a warm temperament, and has a certain bearing. I have to say that Liu's original teaching Ye Jiao has always been in her heart and has never been forgotten.
After the banquet was over, Ye Jiao thought she would have time to talk to Shi Shi and Hua Ning alone, but she saw a woman bowing down in front of her.
Ordinary women are all polite, but seeing such a polite person suddenly, Ye Jiao subconsciously turned to the side, her eyes were looking at her, a little puzzled: "Who are you, why do you worship me?"
When the woman got up and raised her head, her eyes were shy and looked very pleasant.
It's just that Hua Ning's status is noble, and she can't see anyone except the people she cares about. Shi Shi looked at her, but she didn't have good intentions, while Ye Jiao always looked at people as she liked, and was not confused by her weak appearance at all. .
Bai Bai made an expression and made a play, but there was no audience.
The woman's cheeks were slightly red, and then she stood up and said softly, "Mrs. Qi, I'm the daughter of the Zhu family, I'm four."
Although Ye Jiao didn't know her intention, she nodded and said, "Second Miss Zhu."
Fourth Miss Zhu smiled, with a cute smile on her palm-sized face: "I just saw Mrs. Qi throw the pot very well, which is enviable. I wonder if there will be a chance for me to come to ask for advice in the future?"
When Shi Shi heard this, he raised his eyebrows.
Complimenting people to throw a pot is just an excuse, in the final analysis, it is to get to know Ye Jiao.
There are many people who think like this, but she is the first to be so straightforward and eager.
Shishi is not the kind of childish mentality that "you can't be good to others if you are good with me", but you should be more cautious when you have nothing to do with diligence. I wanted to turn it down for her.
But before Shi Shi could speak, Ye Jiao said, "I don't throw pots at home, and I don't want to teach others." Seeing that Fourth Miss Zhu was about to speak, Ye Jiao continued, "Miss Zhu can find another teacher, it's not difficult."
Although these words were polite, they did not mean the slightest intimacy.
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Zhu Si girl's face was a little unbearable, but people around her were looking at her, and she was not easy to entangle.
Shi Shi said softly after she left: "That is the daughter of the privy Chengzhi Zhu family, who lives in the same yamen with my brother, and also with your uncle."
Ye Jiao wasn't curious about what the family was doing, she just shook her head: "I don't like her."
This fourth girl Zhu Zhu looked at her with a deliberate and aggressive look, and the little ginseng looked uncomfortable.
Shi Shi smiled and said: "It's okay, don't use it if you don't like it."
Hua Ning has been silent, because of her bright temperament and honorable status, the daughter of an official family is the most despised, and she has to look like a low-lying girl, so she doesn't even bother to look at it.
Seeing the Fourth Miss Zhu leave, Hua Ning smiled and dragged Shi Shi and Ye Jiao to talk, and did not separate until the evening.
When returning to the mansion, Ye Jiao first went to see the twins, and she didn't bother to see that they were sleeping. She just leaned over and kissed them on the face, and then carefully exited the room.
Then Ye Jiao went to Feng Xiucai's place again and asked about Shi Shi and Xu Bao's homework. On the way back to the yard, she saw Xiao Hei with a bald tail. She was a little surprised, and the questioner knew that Liu Si had plucked her hair.
Ye Jiao glanced at Xiao Su, she was afraid of Xiao Su's heartbreak, but she saw Xiao Su's face calm.
Seeing Shang Ye Jiao's gaze, Xiao Su replied, "Second young lady, don't worry, I don't think Xiao Hei hurts." It's just plucking, but it's not a loss of life. As a big rooster whose tail hair grows into leeks, it will grow even after plucking. , It's okay, she's used to it.
Ye Jiao smiled and said to Xiao Su, "You have been busy all day today, so you don't have to wait at night, rest early."
Knowing that this was Ye Jiao's compassion, Xiao Su responded with a smile, and then said, "When I left in the morning, I asked the kitchen to prepare chicken soup. I think it's cooked now. I'll go and make a bowl of chicken soup wontons for the second young grandmother. I have some more. Fresh shrimp, ready and I'll bring it with you."
After hearing this, Ye Jiao also felt hungry, so she nodded in response.
When Ye Jiao was talking to Xiao Su, she was standing outside the door. The warm light of the setting sun cast their shadows on the door. When Qi Yun inside saw it, she immediately put down what she was holding and quickly agreed. The upper box is tucked into the drawer.
This is the birthday present he gave to Ye Jiao, and since the day is not here, it is natural that Ye Jiao can't see it.
Just after putting it away, Ye Jiao pushed the door and came in.
The little ginseng smiled when she saw Qi Yun was there, and said to Qi Yun, "Xianggong came back early today."
Qi Yun walked over with a smile and said, "If there is nothing in the shop, I will come back earlier."
Then Qi Yun accompanied Ye Jiao to wash her hands, and then helped her take off her hairpins one by one.
Ye Jiao has always been unwilling to put too much weight on her head. She always said that it was a headache to drag her. When she went out, she had to dress up with all her might, but when she got home, she would usually take off her hair bun and take out a pearl hairpin to be at ease.
After cleaning up, the two went out of the inner room.
Qi Yun probably had something on her mind, her eyes were always looking at the desk, Ye Jiao looked over with a smile, and when she saw the open drawer, she couldn't help but leaned her head and asked, "Where is the husband looking for something?"
Qi Erlang didn't expect that he forgot to close the drawer, so naturally he wouldn't say it, but he reluctantly lied to deceive his wife, but he was speechless.
At this moment, Xiao Su brought in the chicken soup wonton, which relieved Qi Erlang's embarrassment.
When Xiao Su left, Qi Yun immediately sat next to Ye Jiao and helped her peel the shrimp.
This is always what Qing Qiyun is used to, so he quickly peeled off the whole shrimp and put it into Ye Jiao's bowl.
The little ginseng is eating wontons with a spoon, feeding Qi Yun a bite from time to time.
Qi Yun wasn't hungry at first, but it was probably a habit of feeding the child. Ye Jiao would blow it and test the temperature with her lips every time before feeding him. This made Qi Yun change her mind immediately, and soon shared with her own wife. Finished eating a bowl of wontons and a plate of braised shrimp.
Qi Erlang went to wash his hands, while Ye Jiao went to the inner room to change clothes first, and said to Qi Yun from behind the screen, "I just went to Mr. Feng's place. He said that you have passed the children's homework?"
Qi Yun replied: "Well, they have all learned for a long time, and they always have to have some results."
Ye Jiao smiled while changing her clothes: "They are still young, and Mr. Feng said that the husband is too strict."
"Xubao, that's all. Shitou goes to the school to study. Usually I can't see it. Naturally, I need to help my eldest brother to watch more." Qi Yun was talking, but his body was rubbing towards the desk little by little.
Seeing that Ye Jiao was behind the screen and couldn't see it, Qi Erlang carefully walked behind the table and closed the drawer. Before he could calm down, he immediately opened the drawer to take a look.
He is not the kind of man who can hide his private money. Since they got married, Qi Yun has kept no secrets from Ye Jiao, and the two of them are very honest.
He even gave Ye Jiao the keys to the silver vault for safekeeping.
It's just too much honesty. It's troublesome to find a place to hide things now. Qi Yun prepared Ye Jiao's birthday ceremony today, but he doesn't worry about putting it elsewhere. will be discovered.
It was in the drawer just now, but now I'm worried, for fear that Ye Jiao would come over and take a look at it later, and take out the box he finally put away.
However, there are a lot of books on the bookshelf, and it is not a place to hide things. It is easy to be foolish when people are in a hurry. Qi Erlang actually removed the books, stuffed the box in, and carefully put the book on top.
At this time, Ye Jiao came out after changing her clothes. Seeing Qi Yun playing with something in front of the bookshelf, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiang Gong, what are you doing?"
Qi Erlang is used to being someone who can talk to people and talk to ghosts, and no one can get him into it.
It was Ye Jiao's simple question, but Qi Yun was a little flustered and replied casually, "I'm looking for a book."
Ye Jiao blinked: "It's getting dark, what are you looking for a book for?"
Qi Erlang didn't know what to do, so he could only vaguely say: "It will be useful later." Then he picked up a copy.
After that, the man saw that Ye Jiao's face was a little stunned.
Qi Yun looked down, and his ears instantly turned red.
Luckily, I came across the "Flower Array Six Oddities"...
Since I bought a new book last time, this book has rarely been taken out, and I have read it too many times and practiced it, so I don't read it very much.
Who knew it would be so coincidental today!
Qi Yun threw away the book, as if the book was hot, and wanted to explain, but Ye Jiao looked up with a knowing smile.
The little ginseng looked at him with a smile, and said softly, "Xianggong is really nostalgic."
Qi Yun: …
The author has something to say: "Flower Array Six Oddities": Haha it's me again!
Ye Jiao: Xiang Gong is really direct
Qi Yun: …
