Chapter 114 is a perfect match

On a Mayday day, the scorching heat has shrouded the city of Mingzhou, and the earth is steaming. At noon, even the birds nested in the shade of the trees to rest and stopped chirping.

The people who swim in the lotus pond do not feel hot, first, the boat is on the water, and secondly, the emerald green lotus leaves quickly jump up to the sky, intertwined into an umbrella, and block the daylight tightly. The boat floated by, and it didn't feel hot. Even Hua Ling, who has always felt hot and dry lately, is happy to stay here longer.

Shen Laibao sat in front of her, watching that she always leaned over to play in the water, shook the boat a few ripples, and didn't stop playing for a long time. He finally couldn't help leaning over and grabbed her wet hand back. If you can't find a dry towel, you can dry it with the corner of your clothes, "The water is cold, the ten fingers are connected to the heart, don't be cold." ”

Hua Ling's eyes were crooked, and she didn't stop it, just looked at him. When he let go, she wiped his clothes again, and saw that Shen Laibao's face was dark, "Small, flower!" ”

The laughter of the flower bell suddenly floated like a silver bell, floating in this lotus pond covered with green leaves. When Shen Laibao saw her laughing, he couldn't help but smile, helpless, helpless, why did he love to play so much.

Just for a moment, he saw her straighten up again, and he was about to pull her back, when he saw her holding a lotus pod, and folded it gently, only to hear a crisp sound of "boom", the rhizome had been broken, and a lotus pod as big as a face plate fell into her hand.

"It's a little tender, but it's sweet." She broke a lotus canopy, broke it in the middle, removed the bitter core, and handed it directly to his lips.

He opened his mouth to eat the lotus seed in his mouth, chewed it and said, "Sweet, it's too tender." ”

Hua Ling broke open another lotus seed and said while eating, "It will be better in another seven or eight days, but it is also delicious now, you can pick some and go back to pickle some side dishes, add some vinegar and sugar, crispy and sweet, and a little ......" She frowned, "Bitter ......"

Shen Laibao came back to his senses, "Bitter? ”

Hua Ling chewed or spit out, and finally raised his neck and swallowed it directly. Only then did he say with a bitter face, "I forgot to pull the core." ”

Shen Laibao looked at her pitiful appearance, but smiled loudly, leaned over and took water to rinse her mouth, and took the lotus pod back, "Confused." "The one handed to him will go to the core, and he forgets what he eats, confused, confused.

Hua Ling took the water and said, "I'm not confused, I'm a famous prodigy in the Nanfeng alley, and Mr. Academy has praised me, yes, your uncle has also praised me." ”

Speaking of his uncle Ge Mingxiu, Shen Laibao saw him at the wedding banquet, and when he got older, his face was wrinkled, but his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be more energetic and energetic than young people.

After my uncle had drunk the wine, he went out again...... I don't think my uncle will come back if he doesn't swim all over the world. ”

Hua Ling said, "Just like my aunt and grandmother, now my father and mother are not worried about whether she will marry or not, just thinking about when she will be able to settle in Mingzhou, and I am afraid that she will not have a good time outside." ”

mentioned the two dashing older young men from the two families, Shen Laibao envied them a little - let go of everything and travel around the world.

He has been here for more than ten years, and if he stays in Mingzhou all the time, it will be a waste of the opportunity to travel to the other world.

So you have to go outside and see, after all, the world is so big.

"Brother Noble, what are you thinking?"

"I wonder when we'll be able to go out and walk like my uncle and grandmother."

Hanabell touched her stomach, "It seems to be difficult." ”

"Twenty years later, when he can take over the Shen family's business, we will be able to let go and play."

Hua Ling smiled, "You're going to be forty years old at that time, are you still in the mood to take me?" ”

Shen Laibao smiled, "Of course there is, as long as you are willing to go." Didn't my father-in-law and mother-in-law just go and play around and come back? ”

Thinking of her father, Hua Ling suddenly felt that maybe twenty or thirty years later, she would still be able to talk and laugh with him in the lotus pond like this, and she would not get tired at all. She nodded happily, "Hmm! ”

The boat swam through the lotus leaves, and occasionally saw a small boat floating in the lotus pond. There was a man and a woman sitting on the boat, and they saw their faces sideways, but they knew that the two men were handsome and beautiful, looking like a pair of beautiful people.

Hua Ling thought of her second brother and the plate again in a trance, and she didn't know what happened to them now. She really hoped that one day in the future, the second brother would bring a girl home, and then tell everyone that this was the girl he wanted to marry. And that girl is the plate.

It's just that those two people are not the second brother and the plate, but they are not strangers, just because the man is the young master of the Kong family, Kong Yuan. The female is her sister-in-law Shen Anxian.

Shen Laibao saw that she kept looking there, and also looked at it, and whispered, "Don't look, lest they find out, and then you will be so embarrassed that you will have to get off the boat." ”

Hua Ling closed her gaze and said with a smile, "Kong Gongzi is shy, and An Xian is the same, these two people are together, no matter how you look at it, they feel quiet, like entering a painting in a lotus pond." ”

"It's not easy to be alone after meeting three times." Shen Laibao said, "Although the eldest sister saw it, she was a little unhappy, but she asked to see Kong Yuan, and I was still taken aback." ”

Hua Ling smiled slightly, "Brother Noble, you don't understand, the girl's family has suffered a loss, and there will always be a thorn in her heart." Even if this thorn is removed, there is no way to heal it. And the next person she was afraid of encountering was still a thorn, and once she wanted to see if that person was the one who could erase the hole in her heart, or the one who would pierce another thorn. If it's the latter, I think she'll come to us again and push off the affair. ”

"That is to say, if it is the former, then Kong Yuan will become the son-in-law of the Shen family?"

"Yes."

Shen Laibao was really surprised by his eldest sister's ability to accept it, but maybe this is really like the daughter of the Shen family. Even if you are frustrated, as long as you figure it out, you can stand up immediately. There are so many children in the Shen family, like their father, but because they are daughters, they are raised in the boudoir, and no one can discover their potential.

If Xiao Peanut is a little flower and he teaches it well, then she may also have the potential to inherit the ancestral business of the Shen family.

It seems that his wish to take Xiaohua to play will soon come true.

Before he skimmed the eight characters, he was thinking about "retirement", which was really unacceptable.

&&&&&

In the blink of an eye, August, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Hua Ling's belly is also bigger. Xu is the soup is well maintained, and the belly is much bigger than other pregnant women. Mrs. Shen also wondered if she was pregnant with twins, so she specially found three experienced midwives to take a look. But the midwives all said no, just eating well and sleeping well, and the child grew better than others.

Originally, I felt a pity when I heard that it was not a twin, but when I heard that the child was growing well, Mrs. Shen asked people to give a reward again and again.

The belly is big, and Hua Ling doesn't like to move around much. It's just that the midwife said that she was more active, and when the time came, she walked patiently every day. It's early afternoon, and I wake up from a nap and look at my stomach for a long time. The head was on the pillow, but the stomach was in the middle. No wonder she woke up recently and saw her husband sleeping on the edge of the bed, as if he was about to fall down.

She thought for a moment and shifted her body back to make some room. It seemed that she had to change her habits, lest he sleep restlessly all night. In the past few months, he has always followed the Shen family to go out to do business, although it is not far, but sometimes he has to be busy for a few days, and he has lost some weight, as if he has grown all the meat on her body.

Hua Ling thought that her husband, who was running around, would not be able to continue lying down, so she slowly sat up and planned to wash her face and move her muscles.

After washing her face and changing her clothes, Mama Ge looked at her stomach as usual when she came to comb her hair, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Gang asked someone to bring a message and said that she would come to see you in the afternoon." ”

Hua Ling's eyes lit up, "Daddy is back?" ”

When her father and mother went out to play in June, she thought that they would not even come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she didn't expect to come back today. She immediately asked her to comb her hair in a bun and went to her mother's house.

Old Mrs. Shen was chatting with a few old ladies in the pavilion, and when she saw her granddaughter-in-law, she felt happy, "Lingling." ”

When Hua Ling heard the sound, she smiled, walked there, and said hello one by one.

Hua Ling was born beautiful but not demonic, and she is the daughter of the Hua family, and even a few old ladies like it, asking long and short questions. After a while, Hua Ling said goodbye, and then went back to her parents' house.

As soon as she left, one person said, "Blessed and good-tempered." ”

"Much better than my granddaughter-in-law."

"None of my four granddaughters-in-law are as well-behaved and sensible as Ling Ling, and they can still run the inner house."

Several people boasted about the Shen family's granddaughter-in-law, but they became complaining about their granddaughter-in-law, and it became lively again.

Hua Ling returned home, and her mother really came back, just because the door and courtyard were full of people, and they were all cleaning the mansion. She didn't look at it, but her mother loved cleanliness too much, so when she saw that it was dirty and the flowers and plants were not in order, she called someone to clean it. The home is always the same as new, only the wall pillars can see a little trace of time.

When she entered the hall, she saw her mother standing in the middle of the hall, pointing around. She smiled, "Mother." ”

When Liao Shi heard this, he immediately walked quickly to her and pulled her back to the house slowly, "It's dirty here, cover your mouth, and let go of it when you get to the room." ”

Hua Ling had no choice but to cover her mouth and follow her through the corridor.

There are people cleaning everywhere, and it's really lively.

Entering the room, Liao closed the door, Hua Ling saw that her father was also in the room, and shouted "Daddy", Hua Pingsheng also looked up at her and said with a smile, "Ling Ling is back." ”

Liao frowned, "It's going back to your parents' house, you can't change your mouth, your daughter is married, married." ”

Hua Pingsheng smiled helplessly, and Hua Ling also smiled, "Mother, it's all going home." ”

Liao didn't answer, and said, "I'm not at home, the grass has grown taller, and the housekeeper doesn't repair it." ”

"It's not much longer, and it's neatly repaired."

"It's neat and tidy." Liao said, "The backyard will also have to be repaired." That's why I said, you can't go out all the time, and everyone is lazy. ”

She continued to babble there, and the father and daughter looked at each other, only smiling. Hua Pingsheng whispered, "Your mother is happy on the road, but she doesn't know anyone outside, and she doesn't talk much." So as soon as I came back, I chattered and suffocated. ”

Hua Ling was very understanding, and after chattering for a long time, Liao said, "I heard that Noble has been away from home recently?" ”

Hua Ling was a little surprised, "Didn't my mother just come back?" Who told you this? ”

"Mother has been keeping an eye on it."

Hua Ling smiled, "Is my mother afraid that I will not have a good time and be bullied?" ”

Liao sighed, "I know that Noble is good, and his father and mother are good, but no matter how good it is, it is also an outsider to my mother, and my mother is not at ease if I don't let people pay attention to it." In the past few months, my mother has not gone out, so I stay at home, if you feel bored, go back to my mother's house, and my mother will accompany you to talk and relieve boredom. ”

Hua Ling's heart suddenly had a warm flow, and she hugged her and pillowed her on her heart, "It's still the best mother." ”

Liao's "ouch", wanting to straighten her up and being reluctant, sighed at the end, "Don't divert the topic, so does Noble not return at night?" ”

"Yes, it's just that he's too busy and he can't drink, so he always has to accompany the merchant to the end."

"Why do so many people want to accompany you?"

Hua Pingsheng interjected, "The Shen family has a big business, and if you want to do business with others, whether you are a small businessman or not, as long as there is a cooperative relationship and a little place to ask for people, you must be happy with them." ”

Liao frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "Then Noble won't come nonsense outside, I remember that this kind of banquet is all about calling girls." ”

Hua Ling said, "Brother Noble won't." ”

When the words fell, Liao stared, "Why don't you change your words?" ”

Hanabell covered her mouth, "I was wrong. But when she turned back in the room, she would still shout like this, she was used to it, she couldn't change it, and she didn't want to change it.

"Hurry up and change your words, otherwise when you give birth to a child, you will still shout like this, and you will have to be laughed at." Liao Shi admonished, and said, "It's better to let him socialize well outside, it's not good for his health." ”

"Hmm." Hua Ling smoothed the placket of her pillow that was a little pleated just now, and said, "By the way, I received a letter from the eldest brother and the second brother a few days ago, saying that I can't come back in the Mid-Autumn Festival." But the eldest brother said that he would pick you up for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the carriage was ready. ”

After Hua Xu arrived this year, he was transferred to the next door to Mingzhou, and it only took two days to go back and forth. It's just that the official business is busier, and it's the same as before, so I can't go home often.

Liao Shi thought for a while and said, "Go ahead, Xu'er is always unavailable like this, and it is not good for your health." And my mother also wanted to find him and say something. ”

Hua Ling guessed what it was, and whispered, "Is there a girl who has a crush on my mother?" ”

The idea of my mother wanting to find another family business for my brother has become a heart disease, and my brother is not too young to think about it, and it is not a way to drag it out like this. It's just that Hua Ling feels that there is no way to remove the thorn in her brother's heart for a while.

I don't know where Qin Qin has gone now, since she left, she hasn't seen her in Mingzhou again. I heard from the sisters who returned from running a business with their husbands in a distant place, as if they had seen her appear in Qizhou, dressed plainly but not coldly, with her hair tied up smartly, and there was someone next to her, like a businessman, who had a very happy conversation, which was very different from before.

She has not been heard from since.

Hua Ling thought that if the person her sister saw was really her, it would be a good thing that she became like that.

She even thought that her brother worked so hard, maybe for the same reason, if he was tired, he would be able to forget a lot of bad things.

After talking to her father and mother for a long time, she felt sleepy again, and was "driven" back by her mother as soon as she yawned.

She touched her stomach as she walked, "You, you, you must be a sleeping bag, why do you love to sleep so much." As he spoke, he yawned again, and tears came out of his eyes. When I walked home, I seemed to feel hungry again, so I asked my next person to boil some porridge.

After she became pregnant with a child, she couldn't see greasy things, so she could only eat some light dishes, and if she ate a little more oil, she would be too greasy. Now it's okay after three months, and I'm used to it.

The longer she was pregnant, the more she knew that it was not easy for her mother back then, and Hua Ling always wanted to run to her mother's house, but her mother took care of her Shen family and didn't allow her to run more.

In this way, it is like marrying her far away and not being able to return to her parents' house often.

When the porridge was hot, it was served, and sure enough, an extra bowl of steamed chicken juice was added. Although the oil has been skimmed away, it still looks greasy. Hua Ling knew that her mother-in-law had her mother steam it again, but she really didn't want to drink it, so she drank a few sips of porridge water first.

Before she had taken a few sips, a servant woman knocked at the door and came in, glancing at her. Hua Ling didn't pay attention to it at first, until she looked at it a few more times, and as if she wanted to speak, she frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The servant woman is a subordinate of the Hua family who is married, naturally she is more pro-Hua Ling, and Hua Ling is her son of Allah. As soon as she asked, she stepped forward and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Hua Ling nodded, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, just do your thing." ”

The servant woman was not surprised, and for a moment her eyes seemed to be looking at a fool. Hua Ling frowned again, glanced at her, and then she retreated.

She whispered strangely, but Hua Ling's reaction was too calm, and the people who went out with her went out of the corridor and grabbed her and asked, "What did you say to the young grandmother?" ”

The servant woman was really depressed, and when she asked, she said, "I tell you secretly, don't tell anyone else." ”

"Okay, what the hell is going on?"

"Uncle, I went out just now and saw him eating in a restaurant. The second floor of the restaurant was leaning against the railing, and I had sharp eyes, and when I raised my eyes slightly, I could see it at a glance. ”

The man sneered, "What's so strange about the young master eating with others." ”

"Ouch!" The servant woman hurriedly said, "The one sitting opposite is a woman, but she looks good." ”

It's a shame. "But," she added, "...... Now the young master and young lady can't have sex, so I want to come...... There are also extenuating circumstances. ”

The servant woman thought for a while and said, "That's right, but I pity our young lady......"

Before the next person could say a few more words, the people in the room called her to clean up the scraps. When she ran back, she saw that she hadn't drunk much porridge and water, and she had drunk half a bowl of chicken juice. She took the scraps out and prepared to send them to the kitchen to be emptied. After walking for more than a dozen steps, it happened that Mrs. Shen came to look for Hualing, and when she saw that there were so many things left, she was puzzled, "Why does the young grandmother eat so much?" ”

The subordinate thought about it seriously, and when he heard what happened to Fang Cai, he was displeased and his appetite was gone. It's just that he pretends to be calm on his face, but his heart is still overturned. She told Mrs. Shen about it, and Mrs. Shen didn't get too angry when she heard it, but she felt that her son was too nonsense.

Okay, well, men can't bear this kind of thing, but won't they be more hidden? It's so easy to see, and he's not afraid of breaking Hua Ling's heart. If the mother is uncomfortable, the child will also be uncomfortable, right?

Mrs. Shen twisted her eyebrows, turned around and went back to the room, waiting for her husband to come back and discipline him together.

Halfway through, Shen Laibao came home from outside. The room was brightly lit, and he walked in lightly and lifted the mosquito net to look at her. Seeing that although her eyes were closed, her eyelashes moved slightly, the more she looked, the more she felt that she was smiling. He smiled, "Haven't slept yet?" ”

Hanabell replied, "Sleep." ”

Shen Laibao smiled, "Will you answer when you sleep?" ”

Hua Ling opened her eyes at this time, looked at him with a smile, got up and grabbed his clothes and sniffed, "It's all drunk, fortunately I know you don't drink, otherwise I think you're going to become an alcoholic." ”

"I entertained for a day and drank tea with me for a day." Shen Laibao didn't want to get the smell of alcohol on her, so he didn't stand any further, and said softly, "Go to sleep, I'll wash my body." ”

"Wait." Hua Ling still grabbed his clothes and raised her eyes to look at him, "Today, my servant told me, I saw you having dinner with a girl who was smart, sitting face to face, talking and laughing." ”

Shen Laibao sighed, "I should develop the Shen family's eyeliner in the future, all of them are undercover materials." But......" he leaned over and said, "why did Young Madam Shen hear Young Master Shen drinking with a good-looking girl, but she couldn't smell a little vinegar?" ”

"Because Young Lady Shen and Young Master Shen are both smart people."

Shen Laibao smiled, "What does this have to do with being smart?" ”

Hua Ling raised her bright eyes and smiled, "Smart people won't be so upright to be seen when they do this kind of thing, so you're not so stupid." So on the contrary, that girl and you are definitely not the kind of relationship that people think. ”

Shen Laibao said, "Even if Young Master Shen is a very smart person, he won't use his intelligence for this kind of thing, do you believe it, Young Lady Shen?" ”

Hua Ling smiled slightly, straightened her waist, wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "I believe you, Brother Laibao." ”

Shen Laibao paused, smiled, and fouled again. He took her by the waist and bent down, and put her back on the bed, "The servant probably saw it outside the railing, and there was indeed a girl sitting opposite me, but on the other side of the table, which was out of sight, there was an old uncle who talked to me about the tea business. The girl heard that my wife was the daughter of the flower family, and she had also heard of her father-in-law's name, so she was curious. So the uncle brought her with her, and the girl was good-natured, inquisitive, and had a pleasant conversation. When the sun set and the three of us dispersed, I went to another banquet. ”

Although Hua Ling believed him, she still listened carefully. Listen carefully, and you will be able to avoid a lot of trouble in the future. Pleased with the explanation, she straightened up again and kissed him on the cheek.

Shen Laibao replied with a kiss, "I went to wash my body, drank tea for a day, didn't accumulate food, I still have to eat something to sleep, if there is anything you want to eat, I will let my subordinates do it together." ”

When it comes to food, Hua Ling has a bitter face, "Don't it, it's greasy, I drank half a bowl of steamed chicken juice in the □□, I really can't drink it, and I also told my subordinates not to tell my mother, so as not to disappoint her." ”

"That's good." Shen Laibao kissed her again, and poured what her mother-in-law ordered was not good, but she drank it against her will, and she was tired. He thought that he would go to his father's and sit down later, talk about the tea leaves, and then talk about the chicken juice, and be tactful, so that his mother didn't have to do it all the time. can't hurt the hearts of both ends, and can't let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a gap.

He can understand why some people always say that it is sandwich biscuits that make husbands.

He opened the door and was about to tell his subordinates to go and bathe in hot water, when he shouted, but two people came. One was at the order, but the other said, "Young master, the old lady asked you to go over." ”

Shen Laibao said, "I'm going to go over after taking a shower." ”

The subordinates are embarrassed, "No...... What the lord means - immediately, immediately! 166 Reading Network
