86. Can't hide it
Daiyu got up early to ask Fujin for peace, and saw that there were many fewer orchids in the yard, and couldn't help but wonder, and saw Xinlan and asked deliberately, "Where did the orchids in the yard go before?" β
"Orchids are not easy to raise." Xinlan has been following Zhaojia for so long, and she can best figure out her master's thoughts, so she didn't even think about it, and immediately concealed the truth.
Daiyu nodded approvingly, "It's really not easy to raise, it's too delicate." β
Xinlan didn't dare to answer her words again, as soon as she lowered her head, opened the curtain, and Daiyu walked in. Please sit down, Fucha is talking about the second elder brother's family affairs.
"It can be painted in a few days, just in the summer, dry it, and then enter the furniture after the summer, and after the furniture, we will arrange the layout, and it will be appropriate." Fucha's face glowed as he spoke.
Zhao Jiashi responded with a smile, glad that she had the foresight and left the layout of the yard to her to arrange, otherwise she would not be in the mood to be busy with these things now.
Shi Jiashi saw that the Fucha clan had finally finished speaking, and cautiously interjected, "In a few days, my sister-in-law is going to celebrate her grandson's first birthday, and she wants me to take the third elder brother over to take a look." β
"Go, Xinlan, and remember to have a gift ready." Zhao Jia's answer to Shi Jia's answer, turned his head and said to Xinlan.
"Thank you Fujin." Shi Jia's family is happy, the third elder brother is fifteen years old this year, because of Prince Yi's relationship, her son is now also rising. She was originally just a partial daughter of the Shi Jia clan, but now the cousins and sisters-in-law of the branch have begun to scold her. She handed over the letter and said that she wanted to show her son, and her sister-in-law immediately arranged it, I don't know how attentive she was.
Wu looked at Zhao Jiashi and then at Daiyu, as if he had something to say, and endured it again. Zhao Jia's family doesn't like her like this, they have lived together for so many years, and she has everything that others have, so why is she still like someone bullying her.
"What's the matter with you, is it also my mother's family that wants you to go back to sit as a guest? Just go, just say, I stopped you somewhere. β
"Thank you Fujin, it's really my mother, I was sick a few days ago, and I have been hiding it from my concubine, and now I know that my concubine knows it, it's really ......" said and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"Go, go, go." Zhao Jia's is a typical Manchu aunt and grandmother, she can't learn the taste of this weak willow and the wind, and the most afraid is that the Wu family can't drop a few golden beans at every turn, as long as she doesn't cause trouble, everything else is up to her.
"Then, the fourth elder brother." Wu looked hopeful.
"I'll come with you." Zhao Jia's forehead, the Wu family is also an official eunuch, and it is not really a small family, why can't it change this style after so many years.
Wu thanked him again and again, his face lit up, and the maids in Zhaojia's courtyard were speechless. If you want to say that the person who has been home to her mother's house the most times, this Wu family is counted, but every time it seems as if he has asked for a holy decree, and I don't know what is going on in this head.
Daiyu waited for them to leave, and wanted to serve Zhao Jia's breakfast, but was stopped by Zhao Jia's family, "Let's go back and rest, pregnant people are sleepy, you eat well and sleep well now It is considered filial piety." β
"Yes." Daiyu gave a little blessing, she did all the postures she should do, and it was enough not to let people pick on them.
"It's too early, and I'm not hungry, let's walk around the yard." Daiyu got up late this time and was used to eating time, so she wasn't hungry at this point. The air in the early morning smells of grass and a fresh breeze, and it smells very pleasant.
"The nursery is not far away, so it's better to go over there and see the flowers and grass, okay." Freehand construction yì road.
Daiyu nodded, she couldn't turn around much time, and it was good to see the flowers.
The mother-in-law who was guarding the nursery hurriedly came over to Fuli, and nervously moved a stool over, but only dared to hand it to Freehand.
Daiyu waved her hand, "Don't sit down, just come and see the flowers, I see that a lot of orchids in Fujin have died, why don't you pick a few pots and send them over." β
Seeing the fresh and fragrant flowers, Daiyu was in a good mood. I was interested and wanted to pick a few pots of flowers for Zhaojia's family to send.
"The orchids in Fujin are dead? There is no such thing, it was Xinlan who asked someone to move back, and the young grandmother took a look, this row was all there. Speaking of her own expertise, the mother-in-law who raised flowers was not so nervous, and pointed to the white orchids that occupied a row of wooden shelves, and her tone was full of pride.
Daiyu saw that these flowers were either blooming just right or budding, and they were excellent in both quality and variety. Why was it returned by Zhaojia, who has always loved orchids, Daiyu really couldn't figure it out.
The mother-in-law who raised flowers didn't know, but she only knew that she had built a few times, but Xinlan refused to respond, saying that Fujin had been in a bad mood recently, so she didn't need to send flowers inside.
"Feeling bad?" Daiyu was stunned, did something happen? Why didn't she hear the wind at all, she just came out of the Zhaojia family's house, and she didn't feel that she was in a bad mood.
"These flowers, when did they come back?" Daiyu took a closer look, and if there was anything in common with these flowers, it was that their flowers were all white.
"Two days ago." It is in these few days that the mother-in-law naturally will not be mistaken.
Daiyu raised her eyebrows, it was the day Jingyu came over, and it was also the day when the apricot fruit was skewered with a jasmine bracelet and sent to Xinlan.
"I see, let's go." Daiyu turned her head and glanced at Freehand, she went to Zhaojia's house to ask for peace, she never brought many people, and only ordered Freehand one person today.
"You don't need to tell the white dew and the apricot fruit, that I have come to see the flower garden."
"Yes." Freehand didn't know why, but he didn't think about it.
Before they entered the courtyard gate, they saw Bai Lu rushing out to greet her, "Why has the master been there for so long, has he been waiting for Fujin to eat?" β
"No, I thought the air outside was good, so I walked around a little." Daiyu helped Bai Lu in.
"Don't you have a letter from Big Brother today?" Daiyu asked.
"No, no, maybe it's a delay on the road. There is a post from the young grandmother of the Xue family, saying that she wants to come to see you in the afternoon, but it is inconvenient. After Bai Lu finished speaking, her heartbeat was like a drum, her fingers were tightly twisted together, and her face was relaxed and casual.
"Convenient, hurry up and reply to the letter." Daiyu sat and saw her hand, but quickly turned her gaze, "Let's set the meal." β
"Yes." Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed the test, fortunately, there was a post from Grandma Xue to save the scene.
When Grandma Xue came over, Daiyu just stopped. Glancing behind her, "Why didn't you bring Xiaohu today." β
"It's enough to bring it yesterday, it's annoying to take you every day." Grandma Xue only came once the day before, and she handed over the letter early this morning, thinking that she had something to say.
Sure enough, she quickly opened her mouth, "Master Li let go of the foreign appointment, but Ruyu died in a hurry." β
"Ah, this time?" Daiyu didn't expect that Wen Ruyu was also pregnant, which was heavier than her, and she would give birth in two months. At this time, she could not stand the fatigue of traveling. Could it be that it is very difficult to ask her to stay at home alone as a pregnant woman?
"Yes, Lord Li is also in a hurry, but the errand given by the emperor, who would dare to delay it for two months before going on the road." Grandma Xue also knows that today's saint is a man of the same word, and no one dares to compromise on this private matter at home.
"It seems that I can only invite my in-laws from my hometown to come over." Daiyu sighed, although Wen Ruyu's maiden family is here, if she really lets her mother's family take care of her married daughter and give birth to children, it will be indecent to talk about it in the future. Even Wen Ruyu has to be talked about, after all, her in-laws are still alive.
"That's why she's even more worried, and she can't tell Master Li." Grandma Xue also sighed, she is a mountain king, she has been down the mountain for so long, and she has gradually integrated into this world. Compared to Daiyu, she may have blended in better.
"Although my mother's house can't go, it's always okay to ask Aunt Wen to send two personal grandmothers. If you are older and have some status, it is better to come out of the palace. "The grandmother who came out of the palace, in terms of true identity, is naturally not as good as the old lady in the house, but it is enough to bluff the rich man in the countryside.
"Oh, why didn't I think of it, but it's so simple." The in-laws have to come, so it is also appropriate for the mother-in-law to find two grandmothers to come over and serve.
"I knew about this last night, and I didn't sleep well all night, and I thought to myself, I must let you know, maybe I can come up with an idea, and I know that this trip is not wrong." Grandma Xue was very satisfied, and she was in a hurry to report to Wen Ruyu, and she was about to leave immediately.
Daiyu knew her fiery nature, and she didn't stop her, but only asked Bai Lu to pack a few things. "Help me bring it to her, neither of us has shipped it, I'm afraid it won't be good to see each other in a short time, give me a good voice."
"Shipment, hahahaha...... "Grandma Xue leaned back with a smile, "That's you, make up some weird words to make people laugh." β
Although Daiyu is worried about Wen Ruyu, compared to Li Wei's future, she can be regarded as having survived.
Xingguo went to Mama Mei's house again today, and the young man lying on the bed was already able to sit up, his injury was not too serious, but because of improper treatment, he almost dragged people down. A pair of medicines, in the end, they are young and have a good foundation, and people immediately seem more energetic.
Lang Zhong also praised his recovery, "That's good, as long as the symptoms are right, eat it for a few more days, and then slowly recuperate." β
"It's because Mr. is a skilled doctor and rejuvenated." Xingguo was also very happy, sent it to Langzhong, and turned back to tell Mama Mei's man to decoct the medicine well, "Don't thank you anymore, if you really want to thank you, let Mama Mei lead it in the future, and kowtow to our young grandmother in the yard, I'm just an errand girl, thank you again, I won't come next time." β
The young man who was half-lying on the bed looked at Xingguo with sparkling eyes, and couldn't say a word, Mama Mei's man bent down and helped Xingguo open the curtain on the donkey cart, "Girl, please, I won't say anything more if I thank you, in the future, if the young grandmother has anything to send, the water will come and go, and I will never say a word." β
Xingguo pursed her lips and smiled, and said in her heart that her master needs you to go down the knife mountain into the sea of fire, but she still nodded, "I will definitely bring it, uncle, please go back." β
The next day was Mama Mei's vacation, and when she came home and saw that her son could get out of bed and stand on crutches for a quarter of an hour, she covered her face and started crying. When he knew that the young grandmother had sent someone over, Lang Zhong, who had invited him, immediately rushed back like a whirlwind, regardless of whether Daiyu was in the house or not, he knelt outside and kowtowed.
Freehand stepped forward to help her up, "Mama Mei, what's wrong." β
Xingguo came out and said, "Young grandma let you in, don't cry, wipe your face and go in again." β
Freehand wrung a handkerchief for her, Xingguo brought Mama Mei in, Daiyu didn't ask her to kowtow again, and let Xingguo help her up, "This kind of thing, just don't let me know, tell Agarwood, will she not care?" Finding a good man early also saved the child from suffering so many losses. β
"Yes, it's the old slave who thinks about it." Mama Mei is now eager to offer her as a bodhisattva with three incense sticks sooner or later, where is there anything bad.
"It's time for you to rest, just rest, and it's good to go back to spend time with the children." Daiyu gently persuaded her, and asked Xingguo again, "The jasmine bracelet you stringed last time, do they like Xinlan?" β
"Ah, that, hey, I like it." Xingguo didn't dare to look up at her, only stared down at her toes.
"Really?" Daiyu's tone was not heavy, but the frightened Xingguo fell to her knees all of a sudden, her face pale, knowing that her master had already seen the clue, and she was afraid that she would not be able to hide it anymore.
"Look up." Daiyu stared at the apricot fruit lying on the ground under her feet, and there was already a tremor in her voice. Before this sentence, she was not sure, but now she is extremely sure that there must be something hidden from her.
"The slave doesn't know anything, I really don't know, I just know that Fu Jin lost his temper for no reason, and he couldn't see the white orchid. Also, there is that the little master went out the next day, saying that he was going to Yangzhou to send an invitation to the master in the same year. Everything that the slave and maid know is here, if there is a word to hide, let Lei Gong kill the slave and maid. β
Daiyu's heart is like a knife, the prince has been away from home for several days, Fujin has lost his temper, Jingyu has gone far away, and most importantly, Hongyun's letter has not come for four days.
All the qiΔ are related to Hongyun, she is extremely sure, otherwise everyone will not hide it from her. If there is a definite situation, there will not be a trace of the wind not revealed, and now like this, it must be that they don't know what happened to Hongyun.
Daiyu closed her eyes, and millions of possibilities were circling and flying in her mind, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one. Finally she opened her eyes, and most likely, Hongyun disappeared and did not know his whereabouts. That's why he blocked the news of this matter, fearing that the enemy would be unfavorable to him again.
"Go back, tell my mother, let her send someone to pick me up tomorrow, I have something to ask her." Daiyu covered her stomach and silently read in her heart, baby, you must be strong, I will also be very strong, very strong.
"Miss......" Xingguo shouted out her old name in a hurry, but when she saw Miss's eyes, she knew that she would never take it back. He could only respond with a crying voice: "Yes, the slave and maid will go now." β
The next day, it was Mama Su who came to pick up Jia Min's side, and said with a smile after kowtowing to Fujin: "There are a few guests at home, and our wife wants to take the eldest and youngest grandmothers in the house home to sit down." β
Zhao Jiashi was stunned, and it was not good to ask something in front of the servants, so he could only say in a muffled voice: "Take Mama Su to see the eldest young grandmother and prepare the carriage." β
Daiyu saw Fujin and thanked her, and then followed Mama Su into the car. Back at the Lin Mansion, Jia Min was already waiting for her at the second gate. Getting off a soft sedan chair, Jia Min didn't wait for others, as soon as she grabbed her hand, "My son......" couldn't hold it back.
"Let's go inside." Daiyu held Jia Min's hand hard.
Jia Min and Daiyu came to the room and waved off all the subordinates, Daiyu looked at the familiar inner room, every piece of furnishings on the Duobaoge made her feel cordial and familiar, the teacup of plum blossom petals on the table was still painted by her and asked someone to burn it, Jia Min has never changed it since she used it.
Looking around, Daiyu's inner feelings gradually settled down, sat down in the circle chair, and held the armrest of the circle chair with her hand. Only then did he look at Jia Min, "Mother, please tell me the truth." β
"Your brother has already arrived, he must be fine. Don't worry, with the prince and your father, and the emperor, you will definitely be able to find him if you send your own personal guards. You believe in them, you must believe them. Jia Min said repeatedly, not knowing whether she was convincing her daughter or convincing herself.
Daiyu took a deep breath, "I believe, I believe." He's going to be fine, how can he be okay, even if there's something, he'll crawl back, here is me, there's our baby, how can he be willing. Speaking of the back, Daiyu couldn't hold back her tears anymore, but she didn't see a trace of crying, it turned out that she bit her lip to prevent the cry from leaking out.
"Cry if you want to, don't hold back." Jia Min saw her chest rising and falling rapidly, and her whole person trembled like a leaf in the wind, so she couldn't help but hug her and pat her back.
Daiyu shook her head desperately, she didn't want to cry out loud, she didn't know who she was fighting with at this moment, as if as long as she didn't cry out loud, Hongyun would definitely return safely. If she cries, things will turn to the last thing she wants.
Forcing herself to swallow her grief, forcing herself to cry back, Daiyu let go of her lips again, and the two red tooth marks on her lower lip were like bright red blood.
On the way to Baoding, Hongyun escorted the two imperial uncles to Baoding, encountered bandits, and under the fierce battle between the two sides, Hongyun disappeared. Half of the escort officials continued to send the two elder brothers to Baoding, while the other half stayed where they were to find Hongyun's whereabouts.
The letter was reported to the capital, and on the same day, people sent by the prince and the emperor rushed there, and Jingyu also followed. But so far, no trace has been found.
"It must not be a bandit, my father must understand, it's not a bandit, right?" Daiyu didn't believe that even if there were bandits on the road from Jinling to Baoding, it would be impossible to confront the officers and soldiers with the banner of the government, not to mention, they were escorting people in a car, not escorting a car to send treasure.
They are anti-thieves disguised as bandits, and the purpose is to save people, and it is the two elder brothers who are saved.
"Your father didn't tell me about these things, but I think so." Jia Min also guessed that this was too obvious.
"It's the third elder brother Hongshi, sue sΓΉ father, it must be him. There will be no one else but him. Daiyu covered her stomach, and she could see that she tried her best to suppress her excited feelings, but her hands were still shaking with excitement.
It has been three years since the Holy Lord ascended the throne, except for Prince Yi and some younger brothers who were not involved in the original battle for succession, they have not been affected. The other older brothers, the one who is not doing it with his tail between his legs.
In addition, the Eighth Elder Brother's henchmen have been completely defeated in the last struggle, and it is impossible to mobilize manpower and material resources again. This time, he dared to be so bold and face the enemy head-on with the officers and soldiers, except for Hongshi, who did not think of others.
After all, he was already an adult, and as the eldest son of the Holy One, he would automatically be able to attract the allegiance of others. He alone has the power to gather some dead men to do such things.
"I'll have someone send a letter to your father right away, okay, don't get excited, don't get excited." Jia Min held her daughter's hand and kept patting her back, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll call someone to say it right away, I'll go right away." β
"Mother." Daiyu hugged Jia Min's waist, and the smell of her mother's body made her feel much more at ease.
The person who sent the letter came back and brought back Lin Ruhai's letter, and Daiyu took it, and there were two words written in the familiar font on it, "Known." β
Daiyu was completely relieved, and a wave of tiredness hit. Jia Min called Xingguo and Bai Lu to come in, helped her to rest in the inner room.
When she woke up, Jia Min called for the soup and fed her with a spoon himself.
"I'll come by myself, don't worry, I won't spoil myself, let alone the child." Daiyu took it and drank it obediently. What's the use of not eating or drinking, is it possible to belittle your own body, and Hongyun will be able to come back? If something happens to the child, she will not be able to forgive herself.
"Mother is very worried and worried about you, but yesterday Xingguo came, I thought about it for a night, and I still think that this matter should be sued to you. You have always been a sensible child, you think clearly, and you do well, which is better than your mother. Whatever the outcome is, you can understand what is best for you. β
"I understand that what I should do now is to take care of myself and my children." Daiyu's hand covered her stomach and stroked it gently.
Seeing that Jia Min was still worried, Daiyu shook Jia Min's hand, "He will definitely come back, I believe in him." β
At lunchtime, Grandma Xue and Jia Qin came over together, after all, they said that they were guests at their in-laws' house, even if they were acting like one.
"You're so busy." Looking at Grandma Xue, Daiyu finally smiled.
wiped the sweat on his face, patted his thigh and said, "I can't ride a horse anymore, my legs hurt from riding, and I will start riding in a carriage tomorrow." β
Then tell her, "Mrs. Wen is already looking for a grandmother to leave the palace, and she sent two grandmothers, two nurses, and two stable mothers over." The in-laws over there said that they had already called and handed over the letter, and as soon as they came, Master Li was going to go far away. β
"That's good." Daiyu was a little relieved, at this time, a woman's birth is to pass the ghost gate, there is no one by her side, in case of difficult childbirth, it is not difficult to imagine how the in-laws will choose.
"Don't worry, I told Ruyu's girl that I was done, and she will call someone to notify me as soon as she starts. I have to guard it, and with me, no one should try to make trouble. Grandma Xue played the package ticket, and slapped her chest again, and Jia Qin not far away also laughed.
"It's summer soon, and I brought a few horses, and if I don't dislike it, it's cool to wear in summer." said that it was a few horses, Grandma Xue and Daiyu were one and a half cars, and of course Jia Min's, the whole car was suitable for making clothes for newcomers.
"I saw it, it was new material, it seemed to be called, something." Jia Min patted his head.
Jia Qin smiled and continued: "Tiancicada silk, something that existed in the previous dynasty, was later lost because of the chaos technology. Recently, it has been drummed up by their descendants again, and I look at it, it looks like a good thing. β
