Gentle and Tender, Towering Rivers and Mountains (14)
Mengzhu has been sleepy recently, and has been reading books in bed all day, Qinglian took corn to feed the parrots, and while spilling the corn on the saucer under the bird cage, she pouted and said, "Miss, the Zheng family's aunt Alan came to look for you, and I asked her to wait in the hall." Mengzhu hurriedly sat up: "Ghost girl, why didn't you say it earlier?" and hurriedly went downstairs.
Alain wore a cheongsam with a velvet sweater, slightly fat, and a slightly bulging abdomen, standing in the hall.
Mengzhu stretched out his hand from afar, and Alan greeted her, seeing that she was wearing a jujube red Western-style coat and a jujube red silk scarf, her face was extremely delicate, but her eyes showed a look of fatigue, and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" Mengzhu. β
Mengzhu shook his head and smiled: "What can be uncomfortable? It's just that I've been eating and sleeping all day long, and I'm lazy." He looked at Alain's slightly bulging abdomen and asked, "Alain, are you pregnant?"
Alan pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, pulled Mengzhu out, Mengzhu smiled: "Now I have to go shopping to buy clothes, and I am afraid that I won't be able to wear them." β
Alan showed two rows of white teeth and smiled: "Don't buy it for me, buy it for my baby!" Mengzhu saw that her face was happy, and her heart also warmed, and asked: "Alain, you seem to be very happy, you are doing well in the Zheng family?"
Alan was silent for about two seconds, and then smiled: "It's okay, Master Zheng is very good to me, what about Mrs., you know, I have always been timid and afraid, and I don't dare to provoke her, but Young Master Ji Qing is also good to speak." β
Mengzhu looked at a few tall sycamores beside the street, all the leaves were gone, and only the bare branches remained, which was even more desolate in the cool autumn wind.
"Is he okay?" Mengzhu sighed, "I'm sorry for him." β
"Mengzhu, since you left, Young Master Ji Qing has been drinking heavily all day long, and he doesn't care about things in the pharmacy, you said that several young ladies of the Zheng family have already married a family, and he is a young master, so he is not angry, and the master is about to fall ill for this matter. β
Mengzhu's expression changed slightly: "He's like this, no one can persuade him?"
"Even the master and the lady can't persuade them, who else can persuade them?" Alan saw that Mengzhu was quite guilty, smiled and said: "Forget it, Mengzhu, don't talk about him, I have only seen you for a long time, don't talk about these unhappy things, I heard that you and Young Marshal Situ Xiao are engaged?
Mengzhu nodded, and the two walked to a snack street as they spoke, Alan was particularly greedy after being pregnant, and when he smelled the fragrance from afar, he pulled Mengzhu and ran over following the fragrance.
Alan found a small square table and sat down: "What do you want to eat?" Mengzhu smiled: "I will eat whatever you order, you are two people, of course I listen to two people." β
The aunt was carrying two plates of things out of the tray and went to the next seat, Alan sniffed and asked, "It's so fragrant, what is it?" The aunt replied with a smile: "This lady is right, these are the two most famous snacks in this store, pastry and Dongpo meat, this cake is sweet but not evil, glutinous but not sticky, the entrance is sweet and soft, the Dongpo meat skin is thin and tender, the color is red and bright, the taste is mellow and juicey, and the fragrance is glutinous but not greasy." Do you want to play two sets?"
The two glanced at each other, both smiled and nodded, the aunt went in happily, and after a while, they each served two plates, Alan hurriedly took the chopsticks, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and said that it was delicious, Mengzhu saw her greed, and couldn't help but take the chopsticks, and didn't want to put a piece of meat in his mouth, so he suddenly spit it out, Alan asked strangely: "What's wrong?" Mengzhu, what's the problem, I eat it deliciously." β
Mengzhu took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, frowned and said, "I don't know, it was fine yesterday, maybe the weather is getting cold, and I am a little cold." β
Mengzhu stopped and persuaded Alan to eat, Alan was originally a child, but now that he is pregnant, he is even more greedy, so he swept them all away unceremoniously, and after eating, he wiped his mouth and said that it was delicious, and then mentioned the matter of stealing chicken legs in Cuiyue Pavilion, remembering that Mengzhu was punished for her, and almost wanted to cry again, Mengzhu has always regarded Alan as a sister, seeing that she is so happy now, and her marriage with Situ Xiao is imminent, she is grateful that fate has given them a new beginning, but when she thinks of Zheng Jiqing, there is a different kind of concern in her heart, after all, she has been with him for three years, just like her own brother, that family affection is always in my heartγ
