020 Expectant mothers (6)
0 In front of the castle is a lake, in the shape of a half-moon, which encloses the castle. There are two pairs of black swans in the lake www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", swimming comfortably in the water.
The stream walked slowly around the lake, followed by two tall and sturdy maids and a cart.
There is a large lawn by the lake, which is very beautiful and comfortable to step on because of good maintenance and regular mowing.
The main species of grass is alfalfa, also known as clover. Today, it seemed that some luck was needed, so the brook stopped, intending to find some confidence in himself.
The maid in the back quickly stepped forward, supported her and asked worriedly, "What's the matter, madam?" She saw that the brook was about to crouch down, and thought something was wrong.
"Oh, I'm looking for four-leaf clover." The creek is seriously authentic. Her big belly was nested, making it difficult for her to bend over smoothly. If you squat, you will probably fall to the ground quickly. What used to be such a simple action now takes a lot of effort.
The maid had obviously heard the rumors as well, and comforted, "Madam, don't worry, it will be fine." The two maids held her left and right, and they both helped to find her on the ground. It didn't take long for the maid Wendy to find a four-leaf flower.
It doesn't matter if she found it herself or not, it's just for her anyway. Xiaoxi took it with a smile and held it like a baby, and finally let the two of them help her up.
At this moment, Xiaoxi's calf swollen a lot, and she felt that all the water in her body fell into her calf, making her legs almost unintuitive.
She moved slowly for a few steps, relenting for a moment, and then continued on her way.
Beyond the lawn, is a grove.
This grove is the dividing line between the rest of the village and the Contin estate.
In the past, the creek spent most of its time walking around the manor house, occasionally crossing the line and going around the village.
These servants never interfere with what the mistress does. They were instructed to just obey Madame and take care of her. Xiaoxi speculated that these servants did not know much.
Daniel: It's a secret that their species has such a horrible way of passing. The fewer people who know, the better, even if the family servant covers it up properly, he may not be able to know the truth.
Out of the range of Kangtan Manor, you can see small villas one by one, of different sizes, not far apart, a total of more than a dozen scattered houses. Xiaoxi wanted to go to Xixi's house to have a look, and the house was still in Xixi's name.
Xixi's home is relatively close to the manor, and it only needs to pass through the Will family.
Mrs. Will had no daughters, only three sons. The eldest and second sons both work outside the home and only return to the village for a few days every Christmas. The third son is about the same age as Xixi, and he is shy by nature. After graduating from a third-rate public university not far from Blake, he has yet to find a job.
While the brook was passing by, Mrs. Will was drinking tea alone in the yard, when she saw the brook and cried out, "Brook, do you want to take a walk?" Come over for a cup of tea? ”
Xixi has to walk around every morning, and everyone knows about the things that have been going on for eight months.
Xiaoxi thought that there were not many things in the morning, and going to the old house was just a casual look, and there was no other meaning. So she went into the courtyard of Will's house and sat down next to Mrs. Will. The two maids and the chauffeur waited outside the courtyard with amusement, as Mrs. Will had not been invited.
Mrs. Weir seemed to be in a good mood, and she smiled and asked, "What tea would you like to drink?" I have fresh mint tea here, would you like to try it? ”
"Yes." What does fresh mint tea look like, Xiaoxi has not drunk it, try it.
The breeze is gentle, the scenery is beautiful, and if you ignore the big belly, what a beautiful morning.
The brook sat back in her chair and saw Mrs. Will's yard with many plants growing out of order.
"You have so many kinds of plants here!" ”
Mrs. Will stood up, went to the edge of the fence, and said, "Yes, I like it best to let these plants grow naturally, so that there are always surprises. She pointed to a very strong weed next to her, and said that it was the seed that the bird had brought.
She picked up two mint leaves at random and washed them twice with the water from the garden. Then empty a small teapot on the table, throw the mint in, pour hot water, and the smell of mint comes out immediately.
But such a rough way of brewing tea, Xiaoxi has never seen it, and he can't help but be dumbfounded.
Mrs. Will took a deep breath of intoxication, and then handed it to the stream.
She said, "Smell it, this tea is amazing!" ”
The mint aroma in the air is very refreshing.
The brook took a sip, but it tasted much worse than it smelled.
Mrs. Will continued, "Xixi, how are you feeling today?" Did the doctor say when you will give birth? ”
Looking at the past, Mrs. Will was a solid person, and a person who had watched her grow up since childhood, and had always been good to Xixi, so Xiaoxi replied, "The doctor said that it was probably in these two days. Knowing that they would all be going to the castle's ball tonight, she asked, "Are you here for the evening prayer ball?" ”
"It's coming. We're all coming. Mrs. Will nodded of course.
She then said, "Xixi, don't worry too much. The more you go to production, the more you have to relax. ”
Xiaoxi had heard many people mention the rumors today, and then contacted Xixi's ending, she asked, "Do you know any rumors in the village related to pregnant women?" ”
Mrs. Will was carrying the teapot and was refilling the creek, and when she heard it, she was also in a trance, and she didn't notice the tea poured out. Xiaoxi asked again, and she hurriedly put the teapot down and found a towel to wipe off the water stains.
Her blue eyes were full of worry, and she comforted: "Don't worry, the rumors may not be true." ”
She looked at Xixi, sighed, and said, "Do you know why there is a prayer ball at night?" There is a legend in the village, as if everyone has been cursed: the daughter-in-law in the village will have to have tribulations when she gives birth. Daniel's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to him. The proprietress of the village flower shop also happened to the same thing and did not survive. That time, I was still watching. That's really pitiful, the child can't get out for half a day. The doctor had no choice, and then Daniel's father, the Marquis de Contin, found someone to send a way to suck the child out, but the proprietress was bleeding and didn't last long before it was gone. ”
In fact, there were many things in the village, and Mrs. Will did not dare to tell Xiaoxi that this was going to be produced, and it was pointless to think about them, and she said, "I have given birth to three children, all of them in the village, and you see that we have nothing to do." So don't worry, everything will be fine! ”
Xiaoxi drank a small cup of tea, and went out for a long time, but there was no way, and the embarrassment came again. It came so suddenly, she couldn't wait to go to Xixi's house.
She nodded, and said apologetically to Mrs. Will, "Can I borrow the bathroom in your house?" ”
Mrs. Weir was experienced, and she carried the brook to the bathroom door with understanding, and went back to the garden.
The brook saw a small amount of dark red liquid flowing out, and she knew that she was running out of time.
When she came out of the bathroom and was about to say goodbye, she awkwardly ran into Mrs. Will's youngest son, William.
