Chapter 45: Pregnant
It's been more than half a month.
In Dongningbo's mansion, there is a calm storm.
Because Aunt Zhao is pregnant, everyone in the house is extremely cautious, and everything is taken care of considerately, for fear of shocking Aunt Zhao's fetus.
At that time, everyone attached great importance to heirs, but Shen Yanning did not have many heirs under his knees, only the eldest son Shen Qing was alone, and even the old lady also rewarded her with many things when she heard that Aunt Zhao was pregnant.
Now, the eyes of the people in the house are focused on Aunt Zhao's body, or rather, the child in her belly.
and at the time of the family feast, everyone was in the courtyard of the Peaceful Peace Hall.
The old lady looked at Aunt Zhao and asked with great concern, "It's been three months now." ”
Aunt Zhao's face was flushed crimson, and she nodded: "Yes, thank you for the old lady's care." ”
Shen Yanning looked at Aunt Zhao and felt very satisfied.
Aunt Zhao sat under Shen Yanning because she was pregnant, but Aunt Yun could only stand aside to cover the vegetables, she raised her eyes and glanced at Aunt Zhao, then lowered her head again, looking docile and respectful, if she didn't look at her carefully, it seemed that she had quietly disappeared in the crowd.
The old lady smiled heartily, turned to look at Aunt Yun again, and said, "Your time in the house is not short, you should accompany the master more, and when will you also open up the branches and leaves for the Shen family." ”
Aunt Yun whispered: "Yes." ”
The old lady can rest assured that her daughter-in-law will take care of Aunt Zhao's baby. The eldest lady had a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes swept over Aunt Zhao's stomach as if she was smiling, but it was as cold as a blade.
Shen Yulou also smiled: "I'm also looking forward to it, but I don't know if my aunt's baby is a younger brother or a younger sister." ”
Shen Fengxu only sat on the side and was silent.
It doesn't matter if Aunt Zhao has a boy or a girl in her belly, what matters is whether the child can be born smoothly.
Come to think of it, it shouldn't be.
"Speaking of which, I heard that the sixth sister seems to have sent a picture to Aunt Zhao. Shen Yulou said, then turned his head to look at Shen Fengxu, smiling gently, "I don't know, but it's true?"
Speaking of this, the eyes of others couldn't help but fall on Shen Fengxu.
Everyone in the house has also heard about it more or less, and everyone else is sending some things like jewels, jade, treasures, etc., but Shen Fengxu only sent a word, and it was very casual and perfunctory.
Even if Aunt Zhao herself is not a master, it is a bit rude.
Shen Fengxu just smiled faintly when he heard this, and said: "I have always heard that Aunt Zhao likes these, so I sent them over, the gift is not about whether it is valuable or not, as long as Aunt Zhao likes it, it is the best, eldest sister, do you say yes?"
Aunt Zhao had a strange look on her face.
She never liked these things, but since Shen Fengxu said so, she could only acquiesce, if she brushed the sixth girl's intention in front of others, it would inevitably leave a bad impression, especially the old lady was also here.
Even if she is favored now, she is just a concubine.
In a family like Dongningbofu, it is impossible for the elders and young to be inferior and inferior.
"That's natural, or the sixth sister is considerate and delicate, and Yulou is ashamed of herself. Shen Yulou just smiled and didn't ask any more.
After some gossip, the old lady also felt a little tired, so she left first.
And they dispersed.
Shen Fengxu also got up to leave, but outside Fang Zhuning and the hall, he saw Aunt Zhao and Shen Yumin standing together.
Shen Yumin only lowered his head, standing there alone, dressed in plain clothes, in stark contrast to the delicate and beautiful Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao had a maid beside her shaking a fan, and a breeze blew through the broken hair on her forehead, and the bright moonlight fell, which made her complexion snow-white, like congealed fat, but at this moment, the look on her face slightly broke this delicateness.
"Why doesn't the seventh girl stay in her own Xiangmei courtyard? What are you running around when you have nothing to do? It's nothing if you bump into me, if you bump into the old lady, the old lady will be angry, and she will have to deal with Aunt Su together!" Aunt Zhao's words were quite mean, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of disdain.
"I'm sorry......" Shen Yumin said timidly, "Min'er didn't mean to. ”
Aunt Zhao naturally looked down on Shen Yumin.
Shen Yumin's biological mother is just an aunt in the second room, and Shen Yumin was born disgusted by the people in the house, but in the past, she was just fine, but now she is pregnant with a child, everyone in the house, who is not respectful when she sees her? Not to mention Shen Yumin, a concubine who can't be on the stage.
"Seventh girl, don't run to Ninghetang, the second master may not want to see you, it's better to stay in the Xiangmei Courtyard honestly, so as to save the second master from worrying!"
As soon as Aunt Zhao's words fell, Shen Fengxu walked out from the side.
"What's the matter? My aunt cares about my second uncle very much! I even know what my second uncle thinks!"
In a word, Aunt Zhao was shocked to break out in a cold sweat.
Don't talk nonsense!
She hurriedly turned around to look, and a smile appeared on her face: "It turned out to be the sixth girl, and the concubine is also dedicated to the good of the seventh girl, the sixth girl must not be misunderstood." ”
As soon as Shen Yumin saw Shen Fengsu, she was about to step forward and pull Shen Fengsu's sleeve, but Shen Fengsu held Shen Yumin's hand one step earlier, her expression was cold, and her eyes fell on Aunt Zhao's body: "Auntie has such a kind heart, Fengsu said that she listened to her father, and she thought that after her father heard about it, he would love her aunt even more." ”
Aunt Zhao's face changed: "Six girls......"
In the past month or so, Shen Yanning's treatment of her has really made her a little forgetful, after all, she is pregnant with Shen Yanning's child.
"If my aunt doesn't want my father to know about this, I'd better go back and rest early. Shen Fengxu smiled faintly, "My aunt is pregnant now, so she shouldn't have more trouble, right?"
Aunt Zhao didn't want to argue with Shen Yumin, but these days are a little erratic, but now that Shen Fengxu reminded her, her heart calmed down a lot, after all, no matter how favored she is, she is just a concubine after all.
So Aunt Zhao saluted: "Yes, the concubine will retire." ”
Only then did Shen Fengxu turn his head to look at Shen Yumin.
Because Shen Yumin was still young and was not loved by the old lady before, this kind of occasion was generally not involved, but appearing outside Ning He Hall at this time made Shen Fengxu a little surprised.
Shen Fengxu stepped forward and pulled Shen Yumin and asked, "It's so hot, why don't you stay in the yard?"
Shen Yumin raised her head and looked at Shen Fengxu, her eyes were clear and transparent: "Min'er misses the sixth sister." ”
It was the height of summer, the weather was hot, Shen Fengxu had been in the snowmelt courtyard, he didn't like to go out, at most he went to the Yunsong courtyard to ask the old lady to say goodbye, and he hadn't seen Shen Yumin for a long time.
Shen Fengxu touched Shen Yumin's head and said, "Sixth sister, send you back." ”
Shen Yumin nodded very obediently: "Okay." ”
