Chapter 66: First Snow

"Mother, what's wrong?" Although Ran Ning had a guess, it was just a guess. What the hell is going on, you have to listen to Tan himself.

"Coming back?" Seeing Ran Ning, Tan's anger seemed to have subsided a little, and asked, "How is that kid Chu Yan?" ”

"His face is much better than when he first came, the clothes fit well, and he likes it. I'm sorry to bother. Ran Ning helped Tan sit down, and she sat on the embroidery pier where she started, and asked, "Mother is not happy?" ”

Tan Shi looked at the room and made sure that they were all trustworthy maids, and then said: "Today I took a few horses from the warehouse, and I am also going to make underwear for you and the Li family, the materials are all extremely soft, and I have not been willing to take them out before." I thought that Li was pregnant, so I asked the maid to take it and let her pick it first, who knew that she said that these materials were just suitable for the newborn baby, and she should stay and let the maid come back and tell me. Mrs. Li was in Li's room, and the maid couldn't make up her mind, so she had to leave the material and come back to ask me, you said she said so, and her mother was here, how could I get the material back? If I really took it, Mrs. Li might think that I was treating the Li family badly. ”

Ran Ning frowned slightly, if the Tan family intended to give this kind of thing to the Li family, it would be nothing, but it was obviously just for the Li family to pick it first, the Li family was pregnant, and they were all going to leave at once, and their mother couldn't say anything, it was too arrogant, it was estimated that even Ran Xiao would not dare to do such a thing. She wasn't greedy for those soft materials, but this practice was very disrespectful to the Tan family.

But the matter has come to this point, and it can only be like this, after all, the Li family's mother's family is here, and no matter how much they can't help but give face. Thinking of this, Ran Ning said: "Mother, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry for those materials." I still have some soft material in my library, which is not as good as my mother's, but it can be used to make underwear. ”

Tan sighed, patted Ran Ning's hand, and said, "If it's just like that." Relying on her pregnancy, she asked for an additional portion, saying that the previous portion was too small, and she now has a tricky taste, and she may spend a lot on eating, so I will give some money to increase the amount of money to level the cost. If I don't give her a rise, the Li family will think that I have treated her badly, but if it rises, it doesn't conform to the rules of the house, after all, the share of the concubine is set so much, even if I ignore the family rules to give her the same as the concubine, she still won't be satisfied, as the month gets bigger, she will definitely ask for more, what should I do then? It is absolutely impossible to go beyond the grandmother. "Tan has been with Li for a long time, and he also knows what kind of person Li is. At this time, Li took advantage of her pregnancy and her mother's family to make various requests, just to insist that she would not refuse. But if they are really missing, the Tan family will naturally make up for them, and if it is just the Li family's excuse to play, she can't condone it.

This thing is different from house to house, but it is all out of the concubine and cannot go out of the concubine. In fact, Ran Ning found out later that Zhong Su and Zhong Jin's share was really not much different, but it was just the price of a meal. Even if it is given to the Li family, the Li family is afraid that he will not be satisfied.

Ran Ning thought for a while and said, "Grandfather is the head of the family, and you still have to ask your grandfather about changing the rules." Since my mother has entrusted me with the housekeeping, I will have to go back to this matter. Anyway, this matter is not something you and I can decide, whether the grandfather agrees or disagrees, the sister-in-law can't say anything. ”

After hearing this, Tan Shi felt that it was the same way, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

After accompanying the Tan family for a while, Ran Ning took Bizhu to the Li family. Li's mother is still there, and the house has no intention of keeping Mrs. Li, after all, Zhong Jin is just a concubine, and she is not the same as Ran Xiao, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't stay.

Ran Ning smiled and said that if the matter should be decided by her grandfather, she is a new granddaughter-in-law, she must abide by the family rules, and she will never dare to make decisions privately. Although Li's face is not very good-looking, she can't find any reason, she doesn't understand the family rules, she just thinks about when if she doesn't make some profits for herself at this time, when will she wait?

Ran Ning's words had already been said, and he cared about the Li family a few words, gave Mrs. Li some small gifts, and the number of gifts was complete, and then he took Bizhu back to the courtyard.

Zhong Su went to the barracks today, and will come back before dinner, Ran Ning took Bizhu to the warehouse, picked some soft materials and sent them to the Tan family, and picked some brightly colored brocades, two of which plus three pairs of heads and faces are ready to be sent to Xue Nianzi tomorrow, she went back to Xue Mansion to thank her, Xue Mansion is also very enthusiastic about her, and she is officially a friend of Xue Nianzi. She was going to send the other five horses to Di Yan in the palace, so that she could make a few more New Year's clothes, and the color was also suitable. As for the virtuous concubine, she is not in a hurry to send it, and when the time comes, she will be sent to the palace together with the house. Ran Ning picked a few more plain colors, and prepared to give them to Le Qing, Zhuo Zuo Shangyue and Zou Jinyue, they are not suitable for dressing too brightly in the palace, these plain colors are just right.

In the end, Ran Ning picked out a horse of rosewood pressed gold thread material, and prepared to make a dress for Zhong Su by herself. She has embroidered a lot of small things for Zhong Su, but she has never made clothes, so she always has to make one or two by herself.

When Zhong Su came back, he saw Ran Ning sewing clothes.

"How do you make your own clothes?" Zhong Su walked to her side, he always felt that this kind of thing should be handed over to the maid who did needlework, Ran Ning's nails were too long, and it was inconvenient to use needle money, what if he pricked his hand again?

"I'd like to make one for you, but I'm slow to get it on and it may not be until the beginning of spring." Ran Ning put down the needle and thread and smiled.

"Don't do it." Zhong Su grabbed Ran Ning's hand and said, "I understand your intentions, but your hands are more suitable for plucking the piano." ”

Ran Ning pinched Zhong Su's knuckles lightly and said, "No, I want to do it for you." Do it slowly, you can always do it well. This material suits you very well, it's a shame not to give it to you. In fact, these are not difficult for her, and Ran Ning's female popularity is not bad, but it takes a little time.

"That's only allowed to do it for half an hour a day, and it must be done during the day, and it hurts your eyes at night." Zhong Su saw that she was serious, and it was really not good to discourage her, so he agreed. In other words, in fact, in the face of Ran Ning's request, it was difficult for him to disagree.

"yes, got it." Ran Ning nodded. Letting her husband wear clothes made by herself is something that every woman wants to do, and Ran Ning is no exception.

"Play a tune, won't you?" Zhong Su mentions, he hasn't heard Ran Ning play the kite for a while, Ran Ning has been busy recently, and since he took charge of the house, things have become more and more day by day.

"Okay." Zhong Su's request will not be refused. He took Zhong Su to the warm pavilion, Zhong Su sat on the soft couch, Ran Ning sat in front of the zheng, and played a comfortable song, both of them were busy for a day, such a song is conducive to meditation, the heart is calm, and you can sleep well at night.

The matter of Li's desire to take a long part was reported to Zhenbei Hou, and Zhenbei Hou thought for a moment and said that he would let someone prepare what Li wanted to eat all day, even in the middle of the night, but the rules would not change, and the rules of the house had never changed because a person was pregnant. In the next year, everything will be arranged, there is no place for the Li family to spend, and when the child is born in the future, there will naturally be a share of the great-grandson, so that the Li family does not have to worry about it, and the fetus is raised with peace of mind.

Zhenbei Hou's words returned to the Li family, Ran Ning didn't know what the Li family thought in his heart, anyway, the matter was settled, and it was none of her business. In fact, there are still a lot of shares given by the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, which is enough for living expenses, and it is understandable not to add them. The Li family asked for silver, and it was estimated that he just wanted to add some gold and silver to himself, which had to be calculated by the Li family himself, and no one could help her.

On this day, the first snow in Beijing came suddenly, and a large number of snowflakes fell in a row, and soon covered the ground with a layer of beauty. Ran Ning sat by the window admiring the snow, and sewed clothes for Zhong Su by the way. In fact, when it snowed at the beginning of the snow, she really wanted to go to the pavilion in the garden with Zhong Su to sit, and it was also a beautiful thing to drink and enjoy the snow, but the weather was really cold, and it was not a good thing to get caught in the cold, so just think about it.

"The young lady will just look at it for a while, but don't freeze your body." Bizhu brought hot tea to Ran Ning, and there was a charcoal basin in the house, which was very warm, even if the cold air outside came in, it was not enough to offset the warmth in the house.

"Hmm." Ran Ning closed the window a little smaller and said, "Has the house in Yuexin Courtyard been cleaned?" ”

"It's all right, and it's also put on the charcoal basin to bake." Bizhu said.

"That's good." Yuexin Courtyard is for Chu Yan to live, the yard is neat and clean, but it is not inhabited for a long time, it is inevitable that it will be cold, let people bake for a few days first, and it is good to go to the air conditioner. Master Zunchen comes to the small residence every year during the Chinese New Year, either living in Qingfeng Courtyard or staying with his grandfather, and this year in order to take care of Chu Yan, he will also live in Yuexin Courtyard together.

After the snow stopped, Ran Ning closed the window, thinking that it would be comfortable to make a hot pot at night and eat it.

As soon as she finished instructing Bizhu, the maid came to report that the Li family was coming.

Ran Ning frowned slightly, on this snowy day, the Li family is not staying in the house, what are you doing when you come out? Although he was puzzled, he still put down the needle and thread in his hand and went out with a big coat.

"Why did my sister-in-law come over? On this snowy day, the road is very slippery. Ran Ning let Bizhu help her, and slowly walked to Li's side, "Come into the house and sit, it's warmer." ”

Li Shi smiled and took Ran Ning's hand, looking very enthusiastic, and said: "Staying in the house all day, I'm really bored, and Xianggong only knows how to read, and I don't dare to disturb him." Today's first snow, I looked in a good mood, and I wanted to go out for a walk. I don't know if my younger siblings have time to walk around with me and talk for a while. ”

The Li family arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and Ran Ning wanted to say that it was not good or good-looking, so she only persuaded: "Sister-in-law should pay attention to her body no matter how much she likes the snow scene, if she bumps into it, how can it be good?" ”

"I don't know my body yet? It's okay. The doctor also said that moving around more is good for the child. Li smiled.

Ran Ning thought for a while and said, "Then let's go for a walk, and call more people to help me." ”

"It's okay, that's enough." After speaking, Li pulled Ran Ning in the direction of the garden.

Along the way, Li and Ran Ning shared their feelings after pregnancy, a little complaint, and worries. Whether these words are sincere or just have nothing to say, for Ran Ning, they can be forgotten after hearing them, and they don't need her to evaluate, nor do they need her to give opinions, after all, they belong to the Li family.

When he walked to the steps of the bridge, Li still took Ran Ning's hand and said, "Although I am pregnant now and there is no shortage of food and clothing, I still feel that it is empty in my heart......" As he spoke, Li approached Ran Ning, and his voice was lowered, "I always feel that this child may not be born......

As soon as the words fell, Li Shi screamed as if he had tripped and fell, and fell backwards. Ran Ning reacted quickly, from the moment Li Shi spoke in a low voice, she had a bad premonition, and the moment Li pretended to be tripped by her, she immediately grabbed Li Shi's clothes and took her to the maid. The two maids who followed Li just picked up Li's head, and Ran Ning's feet slipped, and Li's inadvertently waved his hand as if he pushed Ran Ning hard, and Ran Ning fell directly down the steps......
