The years passed gracefully, and in the blink of an eye, another three years passed.

Qiao Sulan frowned, endured the disgusting taste in her mouth, and swallowed the bitter liquid silently.

"Young grandma, eat some candied fruit and press it!" Jiang Pei took the medicine bowl that had been drunk, looked at the retching master and said distressedly: "Young grandma, you can bear with it, you have already drunk the seventh pair, and the doctor said that this medicine will work when you drink ten pairs." ”

Qiao Sulan vomited for a while, then she sighed with a pale face, and said with tears in her eyes: "If God can let me have a child, it is a bitter medicine, and I am willing." ”

"Young grandmother......" Jiang Pei was also anxious when he saw his master like this. Qiao Sulan entered the door for a few years, but there was nothing under her knees, and after a careful diagnosis by the doctor, she learned that Qiao Sulan had a cold palace and was not easy to conceive.

In order to comfort the master, Jiang Pei naturally said on the good side: "Grandma, don't worry, the doctor said that after two years of conditioning, your body has improved greatly, maybe when you will be able to have a body, and then let you and the second master hold one a year and two in three years." ”

When Qiao Sulan heard this, she finally laughed a little, wiped away her tears, and said angrily: "It's cheap for you." She looked at the chiming clock that had fallen to the ground, and saw that the hour was almost up, so she said, "Okay, clean up for me, it's time to go and say hello to the old lady, alas!

The Shen family has always disliked Pei Jinzhi, so he even took Qiao Sulan with shame. In addition, she has been infertile for a long time, and she has been held by others, and she has been squeezed at every turn, and she has to bear a scolding from time to time.

After cleaning up, Qiao Sulan took Jiang Pei to the old lady's side, at the gate of [Ning Shoutang], there was already a maid and a maid guarding there, and from a distance, seeing Qiao Su coming, a mother-in-law who looked a little flamboyant hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile on her face: "The old slave has seen the second young grandmother." ”

"It's Mother Wang!" Qiao Sulan nodded, with two reserved smiles on her face. This Wang's mother has been quite fond of the Shen family recently, and Qiao Sulan also wants to give some face: "Grandmother is already up, have they already arrived with mother and sister-in-law?"

"The old lady has just started, and the second young lady is the first one to come to the old lady to say goodbye today, it is really filial piety, and the old lady must be happy to see your filial piety!"

Qiao's was quite satisfied with her being so knowledgeable, nodded slightly, Jiang Pei behind him took half a step forward, and a purse with a silver tree was stuffed into Wang's mother's sleeve.

As a result, the smile on Wang's mother's face became more and more like an old chrysanthemum.

Not long after Qiao Sulan came, the Zhao family led Pei Ying to come, and the two of them were followed by a beautiful and graceful woman, this woman was holding a little girl wearing a pink silk vest in her hand, the little girl looked very cute, her big eyes purred and she looked innocent, but it was Aunt Fan in the second room The little girl was her daughter, the fifth girl in the house, named Pei Li.

"Mother. Qiao Sulan greeted Zhao's and greeted Pei Ying again.

Zhao Shi called, and Pei Ying called out happily: "Second sister-in-law." ”

The Fan family also saluted Qiao Sulan, shook the five girls in her arms, and led her to shout: "Sister-in-law." ”

Because Fan's origin is not correct. Qiao Sulan has always had a disdainful attitude towards her, however, this Fan family has always behaved in a way that makes people unable to find fault with it, and she is even more respectful to the main mother Zhao family.

Now he has a firm foothold in this Hou Mansion.

Not long after the few people sat down, Hai also came in from outside. She wore a long light green dress, and a maid was carefully supporting her. Seeing the unconcealable joy in her eyebrows, Qiao Sulan's whole heart instantly felt as if she had fallen into a vinegar jar, sour and uncomfortable. Hai just gave birth to a brother last year, and was found to be pregnant half a month ago. With such a "role model" standing here, it is strange that Qiao Sulan can feel better.

"The old lady has arrived—"

Qiao Sulan got up with everyone, and after a while, she saw Shen Shi, who was dressed in brown silk clothes and wearing a forehead, coming over with a smile and a young child. After everyone said goodbye, Hai couldn't wait to clap his hands and shouted excitedly: "Brother Zhuang!" The little doll seemed to know that she was calling herself, laughed happily, and stretched out her little white hand to pounce on her mother.

"You little bastard, don't □□ mother when you see your mother!" said Shen with a smile as he patted his great-grandson's little ass.

Brother Zhuang was slapped on the buttocks, laughed, turned around and pasted a mouth full of foaming and fishy on Shen's face, that look was really affectionate, Shen not only didn't care, but was very happy to kiss the fat face of the little grandson again and again.

Hai slowly withdrew his hands and sighed inwardly.

But his own child can't be raised by his side, and it hurts to think about it.

Shen teased the child for a while, and then let the five girls hug the couch, the two children quickly rolled together, Shen had time to talk to others, she first looked at Hai's body, no, more accurately, Hai's stomach. Recently, I have eaten well, slept well, is there anything missing in the house, and so on, and asked very attentively.

"I heard that you made a ...... for An Zhi to marry a girl you married" Shen had a smile on his face, and he had a satisfied expression: "You are still a granddaughter-in-law, you are virtuous, and you know that you love a man, that's right! You are the wife of the main house, you should have a wife of the main house who is generous and virtuous, don't be like some people, stand in the pit and don't, and can't give birth to children by yourself but insist on dominating men, what is it like! I don't know what her mother's family taught her?"

After scolding Huai like this, Qiao Sulan's face turned white, and she was ashamed and annoyed in her heart, and she couldn't wait to push this tricky and vicious tiger woman into the pit.

If you want to say how anxious the Shen family is for Pei Jinzhi, it is impossible to make a decision, on the contrary: she wishes that the little cub would cut off her children and grandchildren, but this old lady can't get Pei Jinzhi from others, just to make trouble with his daughter-in-law, and casually teach a run, which is about to become Shen's habit.

Zhao's is a mother-in-law after all, seeing Qiao Sulan's head down, her face white, and her whole body shaky, she hurriedly diverted the topic, Shen glanced at her, and muttered two sentences without yin or yang: either kissing herself or not hurting or something like that. Zhao's face didn't change, so he didn't hear it at all. The Shen family, like the second master, was a little worried about this daughter-in-law who had a lot of force, and after saying a few words, she was successfully crooked.

Qiao Sulan didn't know how she came out of [Ning Shou Tang], she only felt that she was stuffy in the bottom of her heart, and she really couldn't get up or down.

"Second sister-in-law!" Pei Ying rushed from behind, grabbed Qiao Sulan's arm very naturally, and said affectionately: "Yingniang wants to embroider a pit screen with a double knot, but she can't embroider the charm of Dilian, the second sister-in-law has done a good job of embroidering, I don't know if you can point out Yingniang?"

Qiao Sulan reluctantly sorted out her thoughts, nodded and said, "Naturally, you can." ”

Pei Ying lives in a famous tobacco house, which is not big but has the exquisite beauty of her daughter's family. After entering the house, the servants also served tea, Pei Ying took out a small part of the kang screen that had been embroidered, Qiao Sulan saw it and chuckled and quipped: "And Tie Shuanglian, my sister is embroidering a dowry for herself!"

Pei Ying is also thirteen years old this year, and I heard that the second lady is looking at her in-laws' house for her.

"What's the matter, it's just a show and a play, and the second sister-in-law wants to make fun of me. Pei Ying's face was flushed, and she looked very embarrassed. Seeing her delicate appearance, Qiao Sulan's gloomy mood couldn't help but improve slightly.

The two talked and laughed for a while, Qiao Sulan pointed out some embroidery skills again, and when they were happy, Zhao Shi walked in from outside.

"You girl is here to trouble your sister-in-law again!" Zhao said teasingly.

My sister-in-law is teaching me how to embroider, and my mother always wrongs me. Pei Ying pretended to be angry and stood up, and said coquettishly: "Don't tell my mother, I'll go and see if the kidney bean cake in the kitchen is ready!"

"This girl, she's about to get married, and she's still so hot!" Zhao shook his head, showing a helpless look.

Qiao Sulan didn't know that her mother-in-law had something to say to herself! Sure enough, after Zhao Shi sat on the couch, she set her eyes on Qiao Sulan, who was a little restless. She sighed and said, "Good boy, my mother knows what is on your mind." My mother doesn't want to be that kind of annoying evil mother-in-law, but you can also see the attitude of the old lady today, if you continue like this, you will only bear more and more pressure and more and more criticism. Instead of having to accept new ones when the time comes, it is better to learn from your sister-in-law, and bring one or two honest girls up, so that they can share one or two for you!"

Compared with Pei Anzhi, who already had three or four concubines in the house, Pei Jinzhi was too "eye-catching", and there was only one Qiao Sulan in the entire [Cangmu Zhai] from top to bottom. But in the years since she entered the door, she has never conceived a child. It's not just that Qiao Sulan is under pressure, Zhao also feels that the pressure is good, she is a stepmother, and if it is spread out, it may be slandered by the family.

When Qiao Sulan heard this, she always understood in her heart that she couldn't pretend to be stupid this time. She wanted to open her mouth to agree, but the words were like a big rock, and they were blocked in her throat. Seeing Qiao Sulan's suddenly red eyes, Zhao Shi shook his head and sighed: "Go back and think about it, women come here like this, don't get into the horns!"
