Chapter 259: Bad News
Qiao Zhen listened to Zhou's words and said casually: "Pig." Giving birth to so much. β
Qiao Zhen muttered this, and then saw her mother's eyes about to kill, she quickly changed her words: "If you have more children, I must have more children." "Just kidding, my mother gave birth to six of them, and I said that the pig girl must be unhappy.
Zhou smiled, she also knew that her daughter was unintentional, and she couldn't really be angry with her girl.
The mother and daughter spoke again, and Zhou went back.
The next day, Qiaozhen ate toon teeth, tender green, leisurely fragrance, Qiaozhen looked comfortable, she not only made people make cold dishes, but also used it to scramble a plate of eggs to eat, the food is really enjoyable, watching Qiaozhen eat three meals a day, Chen Xuanyu can turn green when he sees the toon's face. But Qiao Zhen likes him, so she can go.
The sugar and garlic were also submerged, and since then it has become an indispensable appetizer on the table of the Chen Mansion, whether it is porridge or noodles, rice, steamed buns, Qiaozhen will eat a few heads of sugar and garlic. Because her mouth was tasteless, she needed stimulation, and Chen Xuanyu couldn't help her, and sometimes even accompanied Qiaozhen to eat some.
Fortunately, every time Qiaozhen finishes eating, she will eat something to remove her breath, otherwise she is afraid that she will smoke Chen Xuanyu half to death.
Speaking of which, although Chen Xuanyu and Qiaozhen can't have sex, Chen Xuanyu can't be completely honest, kissing and hugging is still indispensable, every time he makes himself hot and can't control it, he will wash down the cold water, and then sleep with Qiaozhen, Qiaozhen doesn't know if he is looking for guilt, but she persuaded him not to listen, and he let him go.
In the blink of an eye, it was May, and Qiao Zhen was already a little pregnant, Chen Xuanyu basically didn't go out now, taking care of Qiao Zhen at home, for fear that he would make any mistakes if he couldn't take care of Qiao Zhen.
The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Wang family sent a lot of zongzi in advance. There are also salted duck eggs, salted eggs, so as not to bother with Qiaozhen anymore.
I got up early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, and there was a maid who came in with washing water, and today's washing water was different from usual, and it was filled with fresh mugwort leaves.
Qiaozhen knows that there is such a rule here, the Dragon Boat Festival must be washed with mugwort leaves, it is obscure, and washing can bless the year of auspiciousness and not get sick.
Washed his face with mugwort leaf water. Qiaozhen went out to take a look, there was no Ai Ye above the door of the house, she smiled, although such a day was dull, but she really felt beautiful.
Rice dumplings eaten at noon. Qiaozhen also ate a salted duck egg, and the zongzi was cooked very badly. Eat it with sugar. It's sticky and sweet, Chen Xuanyu doesn't like to eat it very much, and he really ate a sweet one, so he ate a few salty ones, the salty ones were specially wrapped for him by Zhou, and there were meat and egg yolks. It was Qiaozhen's method of telling, and Chen Xuanyu ate a lot.
By mid-May, the main house in Qiaozhen Zhuangzi was finally completed, and only the good hall and private school had not yet been repaired. But Qiaozhen didn't look at it. The new house has to be smelled and renovated, and the time to move in is almost mid-June, when the weather is hot, and I can move in, which is cooler than in the town. It's also more comfortable to live in.
The plan is good, but the days often don't make you so happy, and before Qiaozhen packed up and moved to Zhuangzi to escape the summer, they received a letter from Zhenguo Gong and ushered in bad news.
At first, Qiao Zhen thought it was a family letter, because Chen Xuanyu often corresponded with Zhen Guogong, and would talk about the town and the capital, knowing that Qiao Zhen was pregnant, the letter would be more diligent, if it wasn't for the capital and not being able to leave, it was estimated that Zhen Guogong could kill him, this was his first grandchild. How he is not excited.
But Chen Xuanyu frowned after reading the letter, and looked at Qiao Zhen a little speechless.
"What's wrong? But is there any bad news? Qiaozhen asked, she really couldn't think of any bad news for a while.
Chen Xuanyu glanced at Qiao Zhen, and finally nodded, he didn't want to hide it from her.
"Is it Mrs. Yun's business?" Qiao Zhen knew that the most disgusting thing for Chen Xuanyu in the Manchu Mansion was Mrs. Yun, and only her things could make Chen Xuanyu unhappy.
"No, after the last incident, my father took a close look at her and almost didn't let her go out of the house, and Yu Gongzi also showed her those paintings, so she didn't dare to act rashly." Chen Xuanyu shook his head.
"What's that?" Qiaozhen didn't understand, what could make him embarrassed like this.
"Do you remember the Ning family?" Chen Xuanyu thought about it for a while, but decided to tell Qiaozhen truthfully.
"The Ning family?" Qiao Zhen thought about it, and after a while, she frowned and said, "Is it the Ning family that my father wanted to propose to you?" β
"Yes, Uncle Ning and his father are good friends, and Uncle Ning is also upright, so my father wants me to marry Miss Ning, so that the two families can not only continue to get along, but also take care of each other. However, this matter did not go through the procedure, but was only said in private. Later, I went back to my father, to Uncle Ning, and went to the battlefield, and then there was no follow-up. The family affair between the two families is over. Chen Xuanyu brought up the past.
"I remember, is it related to the Ning family?" Qiao Zhen asked, she was faintly uneasy in her heart, she felt that the matter must be related to Miss Ning's family, this was not what she wanted, she didn't want to be involved with the Ning family.
"Yes, at that time, I should not have this marriage, I chose to go to the battlefield, Uncle Ning knew my mind and did not force it, so he chose a family affair for Miss Ning, the other party is a big family, rich in heritage, after several dynasties, the family style is also positive, it is a good match, the two families are married, and the marriage is set in March last year, but I didn't expect that the future husband of Miss Ning in the first month because he drank too much wine, and accidentally fell off on a snowy horse, and he didn't drag on for three days, and he went. And Miss Ning's fiancΓ© who died before she passed the door was also regarded as unlucky, and it was rumored that she had more husbands, and her marriage became a problem. β
Chen Xuanyu sighed slightly when he said this, and said: "Later, Miss Ning said that she was willing to keep filial piety for the other party and no longer mention family affairs." As a result, Miss Ning really kept the other party for a year, stayed at home for a year, ate fasting and recited Buddha, just like an old woman. Her actions have won her a lot of fame, and there are more people who praise her, but Rao is like this, and there is no particularly good family to propose marriage.
My father wrote to me that Uncle Ning was very worried that Miss Ning would really take refuge in Buddhism if this continued, so he said that Miss Ning should walk around to relax, and Miss Ning was arranged to go to a few Zhuangzi, but she was not happy, and she should not mention her family affairs, and finally Uncle Ning said that he wanted her to go farther. Go to a strange place to see, scatter your heart, maybe it will be fine, Miss Ning responded, accompanied by the maid and the guards, walked around, I heard that she went to a lot of places, said that she will come to our town next month, father and Uncle Ning hope that we can take Miss Ning to live for a few days, let you accompany her, and enlighten her. I hope she can untie the knot in her heart and change back to the past. Chen Xuanyu told Qiaozhen about the situation.
Qiao Zhen frowned a little, in her heart, she was not interested in Miss Ning, the reason was very simple. She and Chen Xuanyu discussed marriage, if it weren't for herself. Maybe they'll be. Such a woman must be avoided, but now that she wants to come to her own house, what should she do? If you shouldn't, you seem to be unreasonable, but if you can't, you are indeed a little unwilling, Miss Ning is not clear about what kind of person she is, and she doesn't know if it will bring trouble to their husband and wife life. Especially now that she is pregnant, it is a special period, and she really doesn't want to bother with such a thing.
"July? Then when the time comes, I'll have people pack up the guest room and come out, since they're here. We must all do our best to be landlords. Qiao Zhen smiled lightly and agreed, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to respond, because this is a human condition, and she must do it.
"Qiaozhen, why don't I go back to my father, your current body is like this, it's really inconvenient to entertain guests." Chen Xuanyu didn't want Miss Ning to come from his heart. It's really embarrassing to meet, and he's afraid that Qiao Zhen will think too much. But his father and Uncle Ning were gnawing at the words, and he was also a little embarrassed, but if he had to choose, he chose Qiaozhen, and he hoped that Qiaozhen would be happy.
"If you really want to come, you can't go back, look at it, people can't drive them out if they want to come to the door, let's talk about it when they come." Qiaozhen didn't hide her emotions, she had to let Chen Xuanyu know that they wanted to go in one direction.
"Well, you must tell me something, don't hold back. You can't be angry with your body because outsiders. Chen Xuanyu persuaded Qiaozhen so that she didn't have to care too much.
Qiao Zhen responded, but her mood was not very high for a few days, Chen Xuanyu saw it, he accompanied Qiao Zhen back to Wang's house this day, and wanted Qiao Zhen to relax.
Qiaozhen arrived at Wang's house, and unexpectedly found that the second sister-in-law was at home, she was a little strange, usually the shop is very busy, the second sister-in-law is busy in the shop, why is she so idle at home today. Could it be that something can't be done?
Several people let Qiao Zhen into the house to speak.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you go to the shop?" Qiao Zhen thought of it and asked, it's all his own family, so he doesn't need to hide it.
Meihua glanced at Qiao Zhen, smiled, and said, "It's okay, I'm always staring at the tired panic in the shop, and I want to rest today." β
Qiaozhen felt that her sister-in-law was not telling the truth, her sister-in-law was not a person who could rest, she was very diligent, but she would never be tired or want to rest if she could do it.
"Let's just say it, it's really your sister, don't hide it from her." Zhou Shi answered, looked at Qiao Zhen and said: "Zhen'er, it's not that your second sister-in-law is unwilling to go to the shop, it's really because the business of the shop has not been good recently, there are few people eating, your sister-in-law is idle, so she didn't go, and those people in the store can be busy." β
Qiao Zhen frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why is the business bad?" Isn't our braised noodles delicious? They are all famous. How can business be bad? β
"It's delicious, my mother didn't say it's not delicious, but no matter how delicious things are eaten, it's annoying to eat for a long time, plus it's hot now, and the braised noodles are hot. Zhou told Qiaozhen about the situation. (To be continued......)
