In a blink of an eye, Chu Yan had already left for two days. Originally, Su Yan planned to go to Aunt Li's womb to ask for a peace talisman in these two days, but Su Yan wanted to go with Chu Yan, so she planned to wait for Chu Yan to come back. go again. Anyway, Aunt Li still has more than a month to give birth, and she is not in a hurry to make it a few days away.
Ever since Aunt Li's belly got bigger, Uncle An Jing seldom spent the night with her. Instead, he often slept outside the mansion. All the aunts in the mansion guessed that he had raised a woman outside again, so they felt bitter about it. jealous.
Only Aunt Li, who brought up this matter with an indifferent face, caressed her swollen belly, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle: "It's better if he doesn't come back, I'll be quiet."
Su Yan smiled lightly: "Look at what you said, it's like seeing through life and death." In fact, Su Yan admires Aunt Li's temperament very much, she sees everything clearly, as long as she can get what she wants, She can care about nothing.
Aunt Li also laughed, and changed the topic to Taosu: "Is this cat newly bought by Miss Wu? It's so beautiful."
Tao Su nestled in Su Yan's arms, her fluffy chin resting on Su Yan's hand. It's snowing outside today, originally Su Yan didn't want to bring Taosu, but she insisted on following her coquettishly, Su Yan really had no choice but to bring Taosu.
"It was given by someone else, and it's called Taosu." Su Yan's white fingers raised Taosu's chin: "Caixia said that its eyes look a bit like mine, do you think it looks like me?"
Originally Su Yan was just asking casually, but Aunt Li looked at Su Yan and Taosu carefully.
Taking such a careful look, Aunt Li was amazed at Su Yan's beauty. When she and Su Yan first met, she sighed how could there be such a beautiful girl in the world, but at that time, Su Yan hadn't grown up yet, and she was far less amazing than she is now.
In particular, the coquettish look in Su Yan's eyebrows and eyes inadvertently made her intoxicated even as a woman.
Before Aunt Li came back to her senses, a servant girl led a woman in, which belonged to Zhao Fu's family, the woman in charge of the big kitchen.
She was dressed in fine cloth and came in with a lacquered and carved food box in her hand. She said with a smile on her face, "The Fifth Miss is also here. This old slave greets the Fifth Miss and Aunt Li."
Aunt Li came back to her senses, and nodded slightly to Zhao Fu's family.
Zhao Fu's family walked to the table, took out four dishes of walnut cheese, peach cake, wishful cake and plum blossom cake from the food box in turn, put them on the table, and smiled at Aunt Li: "These are old lady's I specially ordered the big kitchen to make it for my aunt alone, in case you would find it too boring, and there is not too much sugar in it, so if you try it, it will still satisfy your appetite."
"Thank the old lady for the reward for me." Aunt Li gave the maid a flirt, and the maid immediately went to the inner room to get a purse and handed it to Zhao Fu's family.
After Zhao Fu's family thanked and rewarded them, Su Yan glanced at the dim sum on the table and asked, "Why don't you try it?"
Aunt Li looked at the pastries on the table and said wearily: "Everything in the big kitchen tastes the same no matter how you make it. I've been tired of eating it for a long time." She grew up in Jiangnan, and the things in Beijing were not to her taste. , not to mention this kind of less sugar.
Aunt Li didn't like to eat it, but when Taosu saw the dim sum on the table, she couldn't restrain herself, she aimed at the dessert on the table and shouted, Su Yan remembered Chu Yan's words, and hugged Taosu tightly , Say nothing and refuse to let it eat the cakes on the table.
Aunt Li thought Taosu was so funny, so she said good things to Taosu: "It's just a piece of pastry, and it won't hurt you if you eat it."
It was useless for Aunt Li to intercede. Taosu struggled for a while and then gave up. She lay down in Su Yan's arms, but her eyes were shining and staring at the direction of the table.
Taking advantage of the time when Su Yan and Aunt Li were talking, Taosu saw the opportunity and quickly broke away from Su Yan's arms, rushed onto the table like a gust of wind, picked up a piece of Taosu and quickly climbed onto the beam.
Aunt Li exclaimed, "This cat is really a thief."
Su Yan helplessly looked up at Taosu who was squatting on the beam: "It's just greedy."
Liu Xiang took a feather duster from the side to scare Taosu: "Come down quickly! Are you a cat begging to be beaten!"
Taosu gave a "meow" at Liu Xiang, picked up Taosu and changed places.
"Forget it, let it eat." Su Yan said to Liu Xiang with a smile: "Put those on the table away."
Su Yan didn't take Taosu's gluttony seriously, and talked to Aunt Li about the child in her womb.
"I feel the pulse, nine out of ten it is a boy, this time you have got your wish."
"Boys and girls are fine." Although she said so, Aunt Li was really happy that she was pregnant with a boy. It's not that she favors sons over daughters, but that there are too many restraints and injustices on women in this world, and Uncle An Jing is ruthless, and Aunt Li doesn't want her children to suffer the same punishment as herself.
"Grandmother told me a few days ago to ask me to go to the temple to ask for a peace talisman for you two. I've been lazy these days and don't want to move. I'll ask you later."
Aunt Li smiled: "Girl's life is good, it would be the best if you ask him for a peace talisman."
While talking, the peach cake that was hiding on the beam suddenly fell from the beam and landed on the servant girl standing under the beam. Suddenly being hit by something, the maid screamed in fright and ran away for a long time, turned around to look in shock, only to see Taosu lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching non-stop.
Su Yan and Aunt Li were also taken aback by this sudden change. Su Yan was more than just taken aback. She ran over as soon as she saw what happened to Taosu. Quickly took out the medicine powder and water from the sleeve pocket that could cure all kinds of poisons and fed it to Taosu.
Aunt Li was still in shock: "What... what's going on?"
Su Yan looked back at the food box on the table with a sullen face: "There is something wrong with the pastry."
"What?" Aunt Li's eyes widened. The pastry was sent by the old lady, so she would never doubt it. If Taosu hadn't happened to pick one up and ate it, she would have been poisoned in a short while!
"Five...five girls..." Aunt Li began to feel afraid, and her hands and feet were a little weak.
Su Yan reached out to stop what Aunt Li was about to say, carefully hugged Taosu, and kept massaging her stomach with her fingers, and within a few breaths, Taosu spit out the Taosu it had just eaten , lying motionless in Su Yan's arms, with straight eyes, only the slightly undulating stomach told Su Yan that it was still alive.
Su Yan got up holding Taosu, and said with a cold face: "Caixia, take out two of these four kinds of cakes and send them to Ning'er, let her see what ingredients are added here." There is nothing, unverifiable.
Caixia went immediately, and Aunt Li knew that she had escaped a catastrophe by accident, she sat on the chair and was afraid.
