This year's heavy snow came later than usual.

Xia Ruan got up and wore thick clothes, feeling breathless.

Recently, she feels that her body is getting heavier and heavier, and occasionally in the quiet of the night, she can still hear the heartbeat of the child in her belly.

She told Du Ruo these words, but Du Ruo laughed on the side.

The joy of being a first-time mother made her originally depressed days no longer so depressing.

During this time, she would occasionally greet Aunt Lin's wife, and more time would teach Xiao Yuanxi to write.

Xiao Yuanxi is very smart, she basically remembers what Xia Ruan said once.

Occasionally, Xia Ruan couldn't answer the questions she asked for a while, so Xia Ruan was going to invite Xiao Yuanxi to a more powerful gentleman after the year.

Preferably, it is a worldly master who can be like Mr. Xilou.

She learned from Xiao Yuanxi's mouth that Aunt Lin did have the idea of letting Xuanying be Xiao Jiu's aunt. If she insisted on disagreeing, Aunt Lin would ask Xuanying to make Xiao Jiu an ordinary room. It's just strange that Mrs. Lin has never mentioned this matter to her personally in the past few days.

Aunt Lin seems to know very little about the things in the house, and Xiao Yuanan's affairs have hurt Aunt Lin too much, and she has not come out of the shadow of that incident at all in the past few years, let alone have the heart to take care of the back house.

Moreover, Xia Ruan discovered a strange thing.

Every time Aunt Lin saw Xiao Yuanxi, she always showed a look of disgust.

Xiao Yuanxi is also a smart child, when he saw Aunt Lin's disgusted eyes. She would subconsciously avoid it and not look at Aunt Lin's gaze. She would laugh in front of Xia Ruan, and never tell Xia Ruan about her own heart, only when she returned to the small courtyard where she lived, she would always be stunned.

Xia Ruan is afraid that this child will have a crooked mind, and many times he will enlighten her.

However, the bell must be tied to the bell, and Xiao Yuanxi has to rely on herself for everything.

She's just a guide.

Xia Ruan raised her head and looked at Xiao Yuanxi, who was practicing calligraphy on the side, her movement of holding the wolf pen was slightly stiff, and Xia Ruan said to Du Lan: "Du Lan." Go and add more coals. ”

Duran followed Xia Ruan's gaze. He smiled and responded.

Xiao Yuanxi rubbed her little hands and continued to write on the rice paper, her serious appearance fell in Xia Ruan's eyes, which made Xia Ruan's eyes feel a lot of pity.

This kid works very hard in everything he does. I want to learn well and be proficient. Just like her embroidery.

Xiao Yuan likes to embroider things. After many embroiderers saw it, they would be amazed by the things under her hands. Some people don't even believe that it was a child who embroidered it, because the patterns are very complicated. And the embroidery is exceptionally good.

"Madam, the slave has brought medicine." Du Ruo's voice sounded outside.

Xia Ruan said to the outside of the house, "Come in." ”

Du Ruo pushed open the door, then shook the snow on his clothes before closing the door.

"Why did you send the decoction so early today?" Xia Ruan saw the sky outside the house and felt that the medicine seemed to be earlier than before.

Du Ruo couldn't help but smile and said: "Madame took medicine earlier, and you can rest early tonight, just now Chongli came from the capital to say that Lord Hou will come to Zhuangzi tomorrow." ”

Xia Ruan showed a look of sudden realization, she was so busy with the things in the house these days that she almost forgot to care about when her husband would arrive in Zhuangzi. On the contrary, Chong Li wanted to help her inquire about things, and on the other hand, he was busy taking things from Xiao Jiu's hands from the capital and delivering them to her.

She asked Chongli to inquire about Xiao Yixue, and also casually inquired about the Lin family, what she didn't know in her previous life, she must know in advance in this life.

After Du Ruo finished speaking, he poured the medicine from the medicine jar into the bowl, tried the medicine again, and then sent it to Xia Ruan's side.

Recently, not only Xia Ruan's medicine was cooked by Du Ruo himself, but even Xiao Yixue's medicine was personally sent by Du Ruo to see Xiao Yixue take it.

The tea leaves in Xiao Yixue's yard have been reduced a lot, and Du Ruo and Du Ming also found that Xiao Yixue's decoction has been diluted. Originally, a bowl of soup and medicine meant that Xiao Yixue actually only drank about one-third, and Xiao Yixue often took strong tea before and half an hour after taking the medicine, so the medicinal properties became even lighter. Therefore, Xiao Yixue's decoction, if she eats it, she doesn't eat it, and her condition will become more and more serious.

Du Ming is a man, so it is naturally inconvenient to serve Xiao Yixue in person, so Du Ruo will do it for him.

At first, Xuanying was still a little resistant to Du Ruo.

But Xiao Yixue felt a little guilty about Xia Ruan after seeing the Jiuxiao Huanpei that was broken. And Du Ruo's every move was also because he cared about her, so he personally delivered the medicine, and told her to let her use less tea every day, so Xiao Yixue did not refuse Xia Ruan's kindness.

During Xia Ruan's days in Zhuangzi, Xiao Yixue's condition also improved slightly.

Therefore, Xia Ruan firmly believed that Xiao Yixue's decoction had been tampered with.

Mrs. Lin is still indulging in the grief of the past, so many things will be hidden. Whether it is Chun'er in the past or Xuanying now, they will do things perfectly in front of people, thinking that they are a girl who thinks about the young lady wholeheartedly. Especially Xuanying, it is said that when Xiao Yixue was sick and crazy, she once bit her shoulder fiercely.

But Xuanying insisted on hiding this matter, if it weren't for the fact that she dropped the copper basin in her hand to the ground with Xiao Yixue's foot washing water, the people around would not have found out about this matter at all.

Xiao Yixue couldn't help crying when she saw Xuanying's festering wound.

This matter, except for Xiao Yixue, is only known to Aunt Lin and the servants around Xiao Yixue.

Xuanying said, don't tell Hou Ye about this matter, for fear that Hou Ye will worry.

When Xia Ruan heard about this from the mouth of the cook, she had to be careful with Xuanying's heart.

If you really don't want people to know, why would a little cook in the house know about it?

Apparently, someone let the wind out.

Aunt Lin and Xiao Yixue never doubted Xuanying's loyalty, so even if Xuanying made small moves. They won't find out either, Xuanying has done a perfect job.

However, no matter how serious her wound is, it will not festering into a miserable appearance, and the doctors in the house are not mediocre. Xuanying didn't let Xiao Yixue tell Xiao Jiu because the careful Xiao Jiu, like her, would definitely find the suspicions inside.

Over the years, she naturally knows how heavy her husband's responsibilities are.

I want to gain the temporary trust of Emperor Jianguang. It's a very difficult thing to do. Otherwise, Dong Xiao would have been able to stand taller a long time ago.

The eldest prince and the sixth prince are fighting fiercely, and if the fourth prince wants to stand up, he must take advantage of this time. Xiao Jiu now has very little time to rest a day, especially when Xia Ruan heard about it from Chongli's mouth a few days ago. Xiao Jiu hadn't closed his eyes for two days. She asked someone to send Xiao Jiu dessert and told him to rest more.

Because of her words. Xiao Jiu closed his eyes for less than two hours.

How hard Xiao Jiu works, others may not be able to see it, as his wife. But she could see it clearly.

So in the affairs of the house, she can't let Xiao Jiu interfere anymore.

Xuanying's mother is the only child of Xiao Jiu and Xiao Yixue. However, that doesn't mean she can't move Xuanying.

As long as she knows what happened to Xiao Yixue in the past from Chongli's mouth, she can arrange for people to go to Xiao Yixue's side.

"Madame, what's wrong with you? The medicine is cold. Du Ruo saw Xia Ruan holding the medicine bowl and didn't say a word for half a word, so he couldn't help but remind, "Could it be that Madam, are you worried about Master Hou?" ”

Du Ruo couldn't help but smile on the side, because Du Lan was not married, he couldn't lower his head anymore, and he seemed to blush a little.

Xiao Yuan was happy to see Du Ruo smiling, and couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand and looked towards Xia Ruan and Du Ruo.

Xia Ruan held the decoction and said very calmly: "Steward Liu will come over in a few days, and I don't know what snacks Steward Liu will bring this time." ”

Xiao Yuanxi felt very curious, she had seen Liu Changyuan, he was a very gentle man, and when he laughed, it was like the warm sun in March.

Every time, Liu Changyuan would send a lot of pastries to her and her third sister-in-law.

Therefore, when Xiao Yuanxi heard Xia Ruan say that Liu was in charge, he was also happy to compare on the side.

Xia Ruan and Xiao Yuanxi have been together a lot, what Xiao Yuanxi compares, she naturally understands it.

Not only Xia Ruan understands something, but even Du Ruo can understand it.

As soon as Xiao Yuanxi finished the comparison, Du Ruoxi's face turned red: "Miss Thirteen, even you make fun of the slave?" ”

Xiao Yuanxi hurriedly waved his hand, and then smiled happily.

Since Du Ruo gave birth to the child, she sent the child to her mother to take care of her. And she herself went back to Xia Ruan's side to serve, and when she was busy, Liu Changyuan would not be able to see Du Ruo for a few days. When Liu Changyuan thought that Du Ruo couldn't use this excuse to find Du Ruo, he would bring a lot of pastries to Xia Ruan, saying that he had specially bought the pastries and gave them to Xia Ruan to taste.

At first, Xia Ruan was still a little curious, Liu Changyuan in her previous life didn't know what she liked to eat, how could she send pastries in this life.

Later, Xia Ruan couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the pastries in his hand, these pastries were all Du Ruo's favorite food. Liu Changyuan used this excuse to come to see Xia Ruan in order to see Du Ruo, and then sent the pastries to Du Ruo.

Xia Ruan, who understood Liu Changyuan's meaning, no longer ate these pastries, but gave them to Du Ruo.

Du Ruo also reprimanded Liu Changyuan in private, saying that this was too high-profile.

Liu Changyuan hugged Du Ruo's waist: "Then you don't always have to stay with your wife, you also have to think about your husband, the night is so long...... Madame is not there, and the only thing that accompanies me is this room of medicinal herbs. ”

Seeing her husband's tricks, Du Ruo couldn't help laughing.

However, these days, she must be by Xia Ruan's side all the time, this is Xia Ruan's first child, and she must be extremely careful.

Since she was in Dongyang County, after she personally saw those poisons that could not be prevented, she began to be cautious step by step, afraid that if she made a mistake or omission, she would let the villain take advantage of it.

There was laughter in the room, and even Xiao Yuanxi, who didn't like to laugh very much, couldn't help laughing.

It's just-

At this time, outside the house, Aunt Lin's face was a little embarrassed, and Mother Lu, who was standing in Mrs. Lin, couldn't see where to go. (To be continued......)
