Qingliu smiled, and bowed again and stepped back.
The wet nurse sued, and went to eat the peanut soup with the pig's feet.
Although the wet nurse didn't eat it in front of the master, after all, in a room, the fragrance still drifted over.
Ren Yaoqi tilted his head, looked up from the book, and glanced at the nurse.
"Is there any medicinal herbs in the soup?" Ren Yaoqi asked when the nurse finished eating and the dishes were removed.
The wet nurse was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I added some milk-inducing medicinal materials in it, but the cooks in the house are very skilled, and basically I can't taste the medicinal flavor. Miss Biao has a really good nose."
Ren Yaoyin also gave Ren Yaoqi a surprised look: "I didn't smell the medicine either."
Ren Yaoqi smiled: "I was sick for a long time before, and I have to take medicine three times a day, so I have a deep memory of the taste of the medicinal materials."
This explanation is reasonable, so no one expresses surprise.
Ren Yaoqi continued to turn his head down and turned the book, but he always felt a little strange in his heart.
The afternoon passed peacefully, but Ren Yaoqi felt that there was an invisible undercurrent hidden beneath the calm appearance.
Ren Shijiayou came back shortly after, and as soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly ran to see his son, and he felt relieved when he saw that his son was sleeping well in the cradle.
When she changed clothes and came over after cleaning her hands and face, she stared at the child in the cradle for a long time.
"What's wrong with you, aunt?" Ren Yaoyin also noticed that there was something wrong with Shijia.
Ren Shijia smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sat on the kang: "I went to Lei's house today, and I felt really pitiful when I saw the child of Lei's family."
Ren Yaoqi remembered Lei Pan'er, the quirky little girl he saw at the Lin's house.
"Not long after she was born, her mother died, and she has been following her great-grandmother. Now even her great-grandmother has gone, and she doesn't know what to do in the future. Today at Lei's house, she ran over and asked where my great-grandmother went. It's red." As a mother, Ren Shijia also has a motherly heart for other people's children.
The maid comforted: "Don't be too sad, madam, the uncle of the Lei family will always marry another wife, and someone will take care of it at that time."
Ren Shijia shook his head: "The Lei family is mainly about filial piety, and I'm afraid it will take time to marry a wife. And even if there is a bride to enter the door, after all, it is not from his own belly, after all, it is still separated by a layer. A great one, then even more…”
Ren Shijia paused for a while, then looked at the son in the cradle: "So even for the sake of the child, I have to be healthy. It's not easy for a child without a mother."
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort their sentimental aunt.
Fortunately, Lin Cen woke up at this time, and it was time to breastfeed again. Ren Shijia hurriedly hugged her son, instantly forgetting her previous worries.
The nurse took the baby, unbuttoned the clothes, and fed the baby.
After talking for a while, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin got up to leave, Ren Shijia came back, and they could also retire.
Before going out, Ren Yaoqi glanced back inadvertently, just when she saw that the wet nurse had finished feeding the child, she closed her clothes and covered her mouth with her hands and yawned in desperation.
When he walked out of the door and could hear the voice of Ren Shijia happily coaxing the child from the room, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but stop again.
Ren Yaoyin, who was walking side by side with her, looked back at her: "Fifth sister?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while: "The day after tomorrow, I will go to my grandfather's house. I remember that there are still some things to discuss with my aunt. Fourth elder sister should go back first."
Ren Yaoyin nodded and walked away.
Ren Yaoqi turned around and went back to the house.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi leaving and returning, Ren Shijia was a little surprised: "Qi'er? Is there anything else?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, I want to discuss something with my aunt."
Ren Shijia glanced at his yawning son, who was full of food and drink, and smiled and patted the kang to let Ren Yaoqi go to sit: "Okay, you all step back first."
Seeing Ren Yaoqi's expression, Ren Shijia thought she had something to ask her for help or encountered a problem, so she sent the maid and the child's wet nurse ahead, leaving only one confidant to hold the child. .
"Is there anything you need my help with?" Ren Shijia smiled sincerely and looked at Ren Yaoqi with warm eyes.
Ren Yaoqi first casually talked to Ren Shijia about the personnel arrangements for going out tomorrow, and asked her to help herself consider whether the gifts prepared for her grandfather's house were appropriate.
Ren Shijia answered them one by one.
Until the end, Ren Yaoqi said, "Auntie, there is one more thing."
Ren Shijia nodded and waited patiently for her to speak.
Ren Yaoqi was a little hesitant. In fact, she just felt that something was wrong, so she was a little skeptical. She was not sure and there was no basis for it. But for a child who can't protect himself, a small negligence may fatal.
Ren Shijia's attention to this son is in Ren Yaoqi's eyes. And Ren Shijia is different from the Ren family, she is a simple-minded and kind-hearted person. Even if Ren Yaoqi didn't like most of the Ren family and hated her grandfather and grandmother, she would not anger innocent people.
"Nurse said that Brother Zeng is also very well-behaved at night and never wakes up in the middle of the night."
Ren Shijia was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Ren Yaoqi to talk to her about her son, but what she likes most now is to talk to people about the child, nod when she hears the words, and look at the child with love and pity: "Just born It was also noisy when I came down, but recently I have become more and more obedient, and I can always sleep until dawn."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning: "Do children of this age love to sleep so much?"
Ren Shijia thought for a while, and became a little uncertain: "Speaking of which, it seems that other children's children can't sleep as well as him. But I heard that children sleep because they need to grow their bodies."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and pondered: "I heard from my mother before that the food used by the breastfeeding person will affect the milk, and then affect the child. Could it be that there is something sleepy in the food eaten by the breastfeeding mother? ?"
Ren Shijia was stunned for a while, and then intuitively denied: "Isn't this impossible? The recipes that the nurse eats every day are all prescribed by me, and those things are all according to the recipe, and the recipe was copied by the mother. mine… "
Speaking of this, Ren Shijia suddenly thought of a possibility that she couldn't help but stop. The recipe that Mrs. Ren gave her was no problem, but it didn't mean that the food imported by the wet nurse was no problem. What if someone moved their feet while the wet nurse was eating
Thinking of this, Ren Shijia's face turned pale, and she immediately got up and looked at the child in the hands of the maid. Lin Cen just finished feeding and fell asleep again, breathing smoothly and sleeping very well-behaved.
"How long has he slept today?" Ren Shijia was a little anxious.
That maid was Chunlan, the eldest maid who stayed to take care of the children today, she heard the words: "I have been sleeping, except that I woke up once because of bedwetting." The maid was also a little scared at this time, and her voice was a little trembling.
Ren Shijia hurriedly picked up the child and whispered to him, "Brother Ceng? Brother Ceng?..." The voice gradually became louder, but the child still slept regardless.
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly walked over: "Auntie, don't worry. It's just a guess, don't mess with yourself."
Ren Shijia's eyes were red with fright. At this moment, when the curtain was lifted, someone walked in.
Ren Shijia raised her eyes and walked over with her son in her arms as if she had found the backbone: "Xianggong, look at my son, why is he always sleeping? Is there something wrong with him?"
Lin Kun took the child, then glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and comforted his bewildered wife: "Don't worry, I will find out. The child... he will be fine."
However, Ren Yaoqi frowned because of Lin Kun's look at him, and she was wary of this uncle. Lin Kun hid too deeply, and sometimes he would do anything to achieve his goals.
And looking at his reaction, maybe he has heard what she and Ren Shijia said before.
Ren Shijia finally calmed down under Lin Kun's constant comfort, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help sighing when he saw her like this.
"Qi'er, why do you think there is something wrong with the nurse's diet?" Lin Kun did not hide that he heard what they said, and called her according to what Ren Shijia called her.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and said: "I saw Brother Cen always sleeping and asked, and the nurse said that the child is sleepy. Later, I saw that the nurse was eating some medicinal herbs, and the nurse didn't seem to be very energetic. Well, I feel a little strange."
The maid standing by the side also said: "I also remembered when Miss Biao said this, the nurse has always been a little sleepy these days, and I had suspected that she would secretly run to gamble with the concierge's wife at night. For a few days, she later found out that she went to bed early every day and shouldn't be sleepy."
Ren Shijia didn't care about the presence of this younger generation, Ren Yaoqi. She leaned against Lin Kun's arms with the child in her arms, and said with trembling lips, "Go and ask the doctor, please come and see. , I prevent people from attacking the children but forgot to prevent them from attacking the nurse."
Although Lin Kun's face was also very ugly, Ren Yaoqi even saw his hand on his side clenched into a fist with blue veins on it, but his face was still calm.
"Okay, trust me, it'll be alright. Leave it to me, and I'll give you and the child an explanation." Lin Kun's voice was a little hoarse, and the calmness in it made Ren Shijia calm again.
Ren Yaoqi knew that he had already done what he had to do, and there was no need to stay here any longer. Just leave the rest to Lin Kun, the father.
"Aunt and uncle, then I'll go back to the house first." Ren Yaoqi said.
Lin Kun looked over, softened his expression and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Qi'er."
Ren Shijia said with red eyes, "Good boy, go back first."
Ren Yaoqi pursed his lips: "These are just guesses. If I guess wrong, I hope my uncle and aunt don't blame me." Ren Yaoqi bowed and retired.
Outside, the rain had completely stopped. Although Ren Shijia's yard was large, the square sky above his head was still bound to be cramped and suppressed, just like all the courtyards in other inner courtyards.
