The three children played all day, took a comfortable hot bath in their respective bathtubs, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
This year's summer is as hot as ever, not only the buttocks are good, but it is impossible to cover the quilt.
Qiao Wei blew out the candles, closed the door gently and went out.
The news of Xun Lan's return to Ji's house spread wildly. Almost everyone heard the news, and the leader was no exception. However, he didn't care much about his father's woman. Compared with his own father's, he cared more about his brother's. , if it was Ji Mingxiu's little friend who came to the door this time, he might beat him out. As for his father... What does that man like!
…
After Fu Xueyan became pregnant, she was more lethargic than usual, but she slept a little more during the day, so she is still awake now.
Dong dong dong, someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard, and the doorkeeper lady walked up to the corridor and reported: "Miss Fu, someone wants to see you."
Fu Xueyan is practicing calligraphy, and they all say that her calligraphy is like her own, her calligraphy is clear and elegant, her bones are clear and strange, she has both the delicacy of a woman and the free and easy style of a man, she is in her own style, with a natural charm, Xiuqin does not know calligraphy, but as long as the young lady When she writes, she will be attracted unconsciously, to the point where she is so engrossed that she can't even perceive the movement around her.
Hearing this, Fu Xueyan paused the hand holding the pen, and said to Xiuqin, "Go out and have a look."
"Ah? What are you looking at?" Xiuqin was stunned.
Fu Xueyan said: "Look who is here."
"Is anyone here?" Xiuqin muttered, opened the door and walked out.
At the gate of the courtyard, Xiuqin saw a strange servant girl, about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance and a kind smile.
"Who are you?" Xiuqin asked.
The maid said: "My surname is Zhou, and I live in the Ewha Garden next door. My wife made the young master's clothes smaller and wanted to change them, but I ran out of colored thread. Can I borrow some from you?"
Xiuqin didn't know much about the Ji family's housework, but she also guessed that the wife the other party was talking about was the continuation of the master of the Ji family. Although she was a little surprised why the dignified Mrs. Ji's family lacked a pack of colored thread, she didn't With a cold face to refuse, he said: "Wait a minute, I'll go and ask my lady if she has any."
Zhou's mother bowed: "Thank you, girl."
Xiuqin entered the room and told Zhou's mother about borrowing the colored thread.
Fu Xueyan said lightly: "It's just a pack of colored thread, give it to her."
"Okay." Xiuqin agreed, but her heart ached. After all, they brought these colored threads from Yeluo, and the Central Plains didn't even sell them.
Xiuqin gave the colored thread to Mother Zhou.
Zhou's mother is very grateful: "Thank you, girl, my wife will return it when it is used up!"
Xiuqin said politely: "No need, you can keep it for use."
Mother Zhou thanked her again, then turned and went back to the yard.
In the evening of the next day, Zhou's mother came again, Xiuqin went to meet her outside the yard, and Zhou's mother returned the colored thread to her.
Xiuqin said: "Why did you return it? Didn't you use up all the thread?"
Zhou's mother smiled and said: "It's just a change, it doesn't take much. This time, thanks to your lady, the clothes are beautifully changed. I made some hawthorn cakes with my own hands and gave them to Miss Fu to taste."
"How do you know my lady's surname is Fu?" Xiuqin asked, she didn't seem to have told Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I've inquired about it."
Fu Xueyan suffered from serious hiccups and had a poor appetite. She only liked sour things. The hawthorn cake was delicious, which was exactly what Fu Xueyan wanted. Xiuqin said, "Thank you, Mother Zhou."
Zhou's mother smiled and said: "I should thank the girl. I won't say anything polite. If the girl likes it, just tell me that my wife is pregnant and eats in different ways every day. I spend all day soaking in the kitchen, cooking Everything goes fast."
Xiuqin took the food box.
"Wait."
Qiao Wei's voice suddenly appeared behind her.
Mother Zhou turned around and bowed to her politely: "Young Madam."
Qiao Wei walked over slowly, glanced at Zhou's mother, and smiled slightly: "Zhou's mother has her tail tucked up to be a human being? Where has all that arrogance in the past gone?"
Xiuqin looked at Zhou's mother strangely, this mother looks so kind, is it all just pretending
Zhou's mother smiled shyly and said: "What did the young lady say? Who knows that the young lady is the prime minister's favorite, even if I borrow a hundred courage from my servant, the servant will not dare to mess with the young lady!"
Qiao Wei smiled lightly and said, "Okay, stop flattering me, I won't let the past go."
When Zhou's mother heard "the past", she thought that Qiao Wei would say "let the past be in the past", but she would not let it pass, it was so unconventional!
Qiao Wei's eyes fell on the food box in Xiuqin's hand: "What is this?"
Xiuqin said, "It's the hawthorn cake made by Zhou's mother."
Qiao Wei said with a half-smile, "Mother Zhou serves my wife day and night, do you still have time to make hawthorn cake?"
Zhou's mother held back her smile and said, "As long as you want to do it, how can you have no time? The young lady won't even let the slaves make haw jelly? Or... the young lady suspects that the haw jelly made by the slaves is not clean. Did it ruin Miss Fu's stomach?"
With that said, Mother Zhou opened the food box, picked up a piece and ate it carefully.
Qiao Wei said indifferently: "What's the use of eating it? Let your wife eat it."
Mother Zhou's face darkened: "You..."
"What do you want me to eat?"
While the two were talking, Xun Lan walked over calmly.
Xiuqin couldn't help looking for the reputation, this was the first time Xiuqin saw the rumored Ji family's successor, she thought it was such a mediocre beauty, so she was willing to be someone's successor, but she didn't know it was such an alluring appearance, Like a fairy walking down from a mural, she is no different from my own lady.
Mother Zhou walked up to her wife aggrieved: "Ma'am, yesterday I borrowed Miss Fu's line, and I kindly made a plate of hawthorn cake for Miss Fu, but the young lady suspects that the snacks made by the servants are not clean."
Xun Lancong looked at Zhou's mother: "People don't appreciate it, why do you bother yourself?"
As he said that, he took the food box from Xiuqin, turned around lightly, and took Mother Zhou back to the Ewha Garden.
Xiuqin looked at Qiao Wei in puzzlement. Qiao Wei knew that she had doubts, so she didn't intend to hide it from her. She smiled and said, "I have some personal grievances with her. I will talk to you about the specific situation when I have a chance. In short, you two will have a good relationship in the future." Don't associate with people from the Ewha Garden."
Xiuqin nodded: "Understood, I will tell Miss."
In Qinglianju, the leader is just throwing away melon seed shells in boredom.
Bi'er brought in a plate of fresh chilled lychees: "Second young master, madam asked me to bring you some lychees."
The leader loves lychees, he couldn’t eat enough, he peeled one and stuffed it into his mouth, humming: “The lychees on the island are delicious, the ones here are not sweet enough!”
Bi'er clicked her tongue, isn't this sweet? It is already the best, largest, and sweetest lychee in the south, and what the emperor eats is not as good as here!
"Have you delivered it to the dominatrix?" The leader asked casually.
"You mean Miss Fu or Madam?" Bi'er asked back.
"What do you think?" The leader said indifferently.
Bi'er grinned and said: "Miss Fu gave it away! It's a big basket!"
The leader said: "It's not too bad! It's alright, you can step back! Wait, you come back!"
Bi'er turned around and sighed: "What's wrong, Second Young Master?"
The leader pushed the lychees forward: "Send them all to the hag, let alone me."
Bi'er smiled and said, "Don't tell me you gave it to me, so why did you give it away? Are you afraid that Miss Fu won't have anything to eat? Don't worry, Second Young Master, Miss Fu has more good things than Qinglianju. She doesn't want to eat, there is nothing she can't eat."
The leader resentfully bit a lychee.
Bi'er smiled narrowly and said, "Then why don't I send it to her, saying that you don't want to eat it yourself, so you specially left it for her?"
The leader's eyes flashed and said: "I, I, I... why should I leave it to her? It's because I don't want to eat it, I'm full, so I throw it away for fear of wasting it... so I gave it to her!"
You are so afraid of waste, your saliva dripped down to your chin, Bi'er snickered, said "Got it", and left with the lychee.
Looking at Bi'er's figure disappearing into the night, the leader smacked his lips in despair, it was so cruel, he didn't even know to leave two for me...
When Bi'er came to the yard with the lychee, Xun Lan and Qiao Wei had already left, Xiuqin affectionately pulled Bi'er in: "It's so late, you still not sleeping?"
"I really want to sleep. Doesn't my young master have to make me go here?" Bi'er entered the room and greeted Fu Xueyan, "Miss Fu, the second young master asked me to bring you some lychees. Come here, he is reluctant to eat it himself, so he specially left it for you."
Fu Xueyan's eyelashes trembled, and said indifferently: "Thank you young master for me."
Bi'er laughed and said, "Miss Fu will thank him personally when she sees him tomorrow, I say he won't be happy."
Fu Xueyan nodded lightly.
After the mission was completed, Bi'er returned to Qinglianju. As soon as she stepped through the courtyard gate, she bumped into the coveted leader. She was startled: "Second young master! What are you doing? You don't sleep at night, you squat at the door Playing tricks, you want to scare me to death?"
The leader cleared his throat: "What did she say?"
Bi'er raised her eyebrows and said, "What can I say? I just accept it."
The leader said unconvinced: "Just, I just accepted it, and didn't say anything... Thank you, my seat, or something like that?"
Bi'er looked at her young master speechlessly: "It's just a plate of lychees, do you still expect someone to promise you with his body?"
The leader looked at the sky with his eyes.
Bi'er looked him up and down and said, "Second young master, don't you know how to win a girl's heart?"
"How could you not know?" The leader frowned, grabbed a leaf, and said vaguely, "How do you ask for it?"
Bi'er said slowly from her heart: "To successfully please a woman, a man only needs to do these three things. One, be considerate! Two, be brave! Three, be romantic! As long as you become a woman who is considerate, brave and understands Romantic man, there is no woman in this world that you cannot please!"
The leader narrowed his eyes thoughtfully: "Thinking, brave, romantic?"
When the first ray of morning light broke through the mist and illuminated the gray sky, Fu Xueyan also woke up from her sleep. Pregnant women are always easier to go to the toilet than normal people. She put on her robe and prepared to go to the concubine's room Go, as soon as the threshold was pushed open, I saw the leader standing at the door holding a shiny new small toilet.
The leader tossed a strand of hair from his forehead, and said calmly, "Are you satisfied with what you see?"
Fu Xueyan: "..."
…
The weather was fine, and after the leader greeted Qiao Wei, he left Ji's house with Fu Xueyan. The reason was that Fu Xueyan was not familiar with the capital, so he just took this opportunity to show her the places of interest in the capital. Although Qiao Wei felt that Fu Xueyan was right The capital may be a little more familiar than the little bastard, but the little bum doesn't want to drink too much, so she graciously agreed.
The time chosen by the leader was very suitable, as it was approaching lunch, so as soon as the carriage arrived on the street, he found a restaurant that had already been booked, and entered the best wing of the restaurant.
This wing room had already been reserved by someone else, but the Hierarch spent ten times the price to snatch it up. Smiling for the Pomeranian, the Hierarch worked hard.
The leader walked into the room swaggeringly, found a chair and sat down, just as he sat down, he remembered Bi'er's words: "Remember, when you are eating, you have to pull out the chair for her."
He hurried to pull the chair for Fu Xueyan, unfortunately, at this time Fu Xueyan was already sitting down, and he almost sat up, he pulled it with a swipe, the chair was gone, and Fu Xueyan fell to the ground!
Lord leader: "..."
