Qiu Chen nodded with a smile: "Well, if the news doesn't get out, everyone in the province will come to congratulate them, and when the time comes, it will be rude not to greet them...... Even the Guogong Mansion and Anyang have waited for three months before sending the letter! ”

Hearing Qiu Chen say this, Qin Zheng's face softened slightly, hugged his wife tightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense anymore...... Well, I'll give the order in a moment, and everyone in the house will be silent. ”

Speaking of this, seeing Qin Zheng's anxious expression and wanting to refute, Qiu Chen hurriedly patted his hand and said in relief: "I'm just talking about common sense...... You don't have to worry, I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with it. ”

Qiu Chen glared at him speechlessly, turned his gaze back to look at his flat lower abdomen, reached out and covered the back of Qin Zheng's big hand, and said in a low voice: "Mu Bo also said, it's just been a month and a half, and the fetal gas in the first three months is the most unstable, so it's better to hide it......"

"Happy events, naturally make the family happy!" Qin Zheng said, seeing that Qiu Chen was just looking at him silently, he hurriedly waved his hand and pushed back the girls, then sat down next to Qiu Chen, carefully stroked Qiu Chen's stomach, and said in a low voice, "Are you still uncomfortable?" Vegetarian porridge has been stewed in the kitchen, and it will be delivered soon...... What else would you like to eat? I'll give you a change! ”

Qiu Chen was awakened from his panic by the chaotic noise, and when he raised his eyes to see his somewhat silly husband with a happy face, he couldn't help but glare at him.

"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Before Qin Zheng's voice fell, the voices of the girls and mothers-in-law thanked them one after another.

The girls and mothers-in-law who had just looked at the lady stunned immediately stepped forward to greet Qin Zheng and smiled and congratulated, Qin Zheng rarely showed a smile to the people, and waved his big hand and said: "Those who are waiting in this house will be rewarded with five taels per person, others in Mu'en Courtyard will be rewarded with two taels, and each person in the house will be rewarded with one tael!" ”

In a daze, the door curtain was lifted, and Qin Zheng walked in with a few prescriptions in his hand.

After half a pillar of incense, Qiu Chen stroked his still flat lower abdomen in disbelief...... She was pregnant again...... She has three children and has another ...... There is an inexplicable sense of confusion! In modern times, she is a super big family!

Qiu Chen'an was inexplicably apprehensive in his heart, showed a smile in response, and watched Qin Zheng hurriedly chase after Old Man Mu.

Qiu Chen looked back at Qin Zheng in surprise, and Qin Zheng hurriedly said with relief: "Mr. Mu is petty, don't worry...... I'll check it out! ”

Lowering his eyes, he made a diagnosis with an expressionless face, and then changed his other hand to diagnose again, Old Man Mu didn't say a word, got up and straightened the hem of his clothes, and walked out without squinting!

Old man Mu glanced at him, and sat down on the couch opposite Qiu Chen speechlessly, Qiu Chen put his hand on the small pillow on the couch, Yue Gui stepped forward and covered Qiu Chen's wrist with a silk handkerchief, and Old Man Mu raised three fingers to press on Qiu Chen's pulse......

Qin Zheng also heard Old Man Mu's cough, his face stiffened slightly, he shook Qiu Chen's hand, took two steps back, and let Old Man Mu say, "Then Mr. Lao!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I may have a bad stomach for a while, it's okay...... Well, Mu Bo is here, let Mu Bo help me diagnose the pulse, it's really okay, you don't have to worry! ”

Old man Mu, who came in later, looked at this situation, opened his eyes speechlessly, and coughed heavily.

There was a sound of footsteps, the door curtain was lifted from the outside, Qin Zheng strode in, held his wife's hand with a concerned face, and asked, "What's wrong?" Isn't it okay in the morning? ”

This time, too, even if Mama Chen refuted her words mercilessly, she was only happy, and she was not at all safe, shaking her head and compromising helplessly, it was sincere dependence and trust.

However, this kind of annoying nagging contains nuanced concern and concern, with the taste of motherhood, which makes Qiu Chen warm and intimate.

Mama Chen is now in charge of the inner courtyard, and is also responsible for Qiu Chen's external news search and investigation, everything is complicated, she only reports to Qiu Chen's side after breakfast every day, and is busy everywhere the rest of the time. After a while, after finishing business, Mama Chen often tells some things to pay attention to in the season, and after a short trip, her mouth is almost not idle...... Qiu Chen couldn't help but want to laugh every time, this capable grandmother, as she grew older, became more and more annoying and nagging.

Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Mama Chen and shook his head with a smile: "What Mama said is always reasonable, just rely on you!" It's up to you! ”

Mama Chen raised her hand to caress Qiu Chen's back, and said with a smile: "Madame is always too considerate of others...... But you have to think about it for us, you just vomited so badly, you scared a room of girls. Please ask Mr. Mu to come over and take a look, if there is no hindrance, it will be better, we can also ask if there is something to eat, and it is better to pay attention to it in the future. ”

Qiu Chen rinsed his mouth, wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said weakly: "It's just a temporary nausea, it's not a big deal, so why should you alarm the ...... ahead?"

"Madame, gargle...... I've already sent someone to the front yard to invite Mr. Mu, and it's time to talk! Mama Chen took the warm salt water handed by the little girl and handed it to Qiu Chen's lips, waiting for her to rinse her mouth, while whispering.

Yuegui was so frightened that she was at a loss, Mama Chen was hurriedly called back, and when she entered the house, she first looked at Mama Lin who was waiting next to her, and the two of them glanced at each other, and a flash of joy flashed in their eyes......

It was not enough to vomit the breakfast I had eaten before, and I spit out a few mouthfuls of yellow-green bile, and then I stopped vomiting......

Mama Chen looked at it again and made sure that her face had improved, but she was only a little pale, so she put down her heart and bent her knees and retreated. Watching her leave, Qiu Chen took a bowl of red date lotus seed tea handed over by Yue Gui and took a sip, and an inexplicable fishy smell rushed up from her nose, making her sick to her stomach for a while.

Qiu Chen nodded and responded: "It's just that I feel uncomfortable when I hear this kind of murderous news, it's okay, Mama doesn't have to worry about me!" ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Mama Chen, waved her hand to signal that she had nothing to ask, Mama Chen looked at Qiu Chen's ugly face, and said softly with relief: "Madame, don't think about it, this is an explanation from the Zhai family...... It's none of our business. ”

Mama Chen was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what her wife meant, and reported in a low voice: "The Zhai family found out and said that it was a meal sent by a big girl next to his wife, and the big girl had a good relationship with that girl before...... After the incident, the big girl was found hanged in the house. ”

Mama Chen nodded, and was about to turn around, when she heard Mrs. ask, "Who did it?" ”

Qiu Chen received the news the next day after returning from Tongzhou. She was silent for a long time, and gave a faint order: "Send a letter to the second aunt and grandmother!" ”

The last thing that came to her mind was not the eldest young master in her heart, but she wanted to ask: Brother Parrot, why did you harm me?

The pain in her abdomen was so painful that she gradually became numb, and her last consciousness was that the blood under her body kept flowing and dried......

Near dinner, she had abdominal pain, and at first she thought that she had eaten too much lunch and had a stomach problem...... barely managed to enter the clean room, but was shocked to see that the dirty pants had been dyed a large red ......

That day, Brother Parrot accompanied her to lunch, and put the dishes on her plate in the same way, so that she could eat her hair...... After eating and talking for a while, Brother Parrot left in a hurry, Brother Parrot is now a first-class girl next to his wife, and finally took a while to come over.

Brother Parrot looked at her slightly bulging lower abdomen, sighed silently, raised his eyes and said with relief: "It's good to hear that it's good to be over the first few months, it's good for my sister to endure it......"

Lonely and lonely, she was very happy to see her sisters. Besides, she knew her current situation, and she just wanted to give birth to the child safely, so she hurriedly smiled and shook her head: "No, the meals sent are excellent." It's just that I feel a little sick to my stomach when I am pregnant, and I can't eat it! ”

"Sister, I've come to see you." Brother Parrot stepped forward with tears in his eyes and reluctantly smiled, held her hand and looked her up and down, and then said with concern, "Sister, why have you lost so much weight...... Could it be that the daily meals are not to the taste? You tell me, I'll go back and find the big kitchen and say......"

She and Brother Parrot are neighbors, grew up together, and later went to serve with Mrs. together, because of her mother, she was promoted to second class and first class earlier, and Brother Parrot was one class behind her, and she always maintained Brother Parrot...... It's not an exaggeration to say that two people are sisters.

"Parrot!" She cried out for joy.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door creaked open, and a handsome girl of fifteen or sixteen walked in with two rough girls carrying two food boxes.

These are just superficial things, what really makes her sleepy is the old lady's attitude towards her children...... This kind of treatment is not very important......

Without the gentleness and warmth of the mandarin ducks, there is only a ten-year-old stupid little girl to serve...... The courtyard is deserted, and only when there are three meals a day, someone comes to deliver food...... On weekdays, not to mention the human figures, even the birds seem to avoid this yard...... It's maddeningly quiet.

That period of time was really beautiful, the eldest young grandmother was called back to the ancestral house by his wife to serve the sick, and she was the only one in the backyard of the county government and the eldest young master...... lingering love, sleeping with a neck...... She is literate, and she is in charge of the entry and exit of the wife's small treasury and the dowry accounts by her wife's side, and the accounts are also refreshing. Since she lingered with the eldest young master in her dreams at night, she would also flip through the poems and songs, so that she could talk to the eldest young master, and she could also talk about some poems and songs, so that the eldest young master could be happy...... More and more pampered by her. Her stomach is also angry, but she was diagnosed with a slippery pulse in just a month, she is pregnant, and she is pregnant with the eldest young master's child! The eldest young master was overjoyed and said that he would give her a place and make her an aunt...... Even the people began to call her aunt, she and the eldest young master flew both bibious, and the fairy dependents were general, but she was suddenly picked up by the people sent by the old house, and then she was locked up in this small courtyard by his wife for the reason of 'good omen'.

One day, when his wife told her to serve the eldest young master, she was so happy that she could hardly believe her ears......

On the surface, she didn't dare to give birth to the slightest thought, and every time she dreamed back at midnight, the eldest young master walked into her dream slowly with a long brocade robe...... Let her always be willing to linger in her dreams and not want to wake up.

Serving beside his wife, it is inevitable to see several young masters, compared to the weakness of the second young master and the naivety of the third young master, the eldest young master is undoubtedly the most handsome and dignified young man, although he has a good look, not too reluctant to smile, but it is enough to make many girls in the spring season blush and heartbeat. She is also one of them.

She is a child of the family, and her mother was the wife's dowry girl back then, and she was not accepted by the master with a small servant, and she still served in the wife's room, but she turned from a personal girl to a confidant daughter-in-law...... It's just that it didn't work out, and her mother couldn't get past her when she gave birth again, and died of blood after desperately giving birth to a baby boy who was bruised all over her body. The boy was saved, but he was still in poor health...... Fortunately, his wife was merciful and rewarded him with several tonics, which saved his brother's life. When she was a little older, at the age of seven, she went into her wife's yard to serve, and she rose from a third-class girl to a second-class and first-class girl step by step...... Because Mrs. misses her mother's old life, and because of her cautious, meticulous and diligent character, she has become Mrs.'s confidant......

A teenage girl stood at the door of the house with her head bowed, and the seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman stopped and stood still under the pomegranate tree, looking up at the clusters of new shoots on the pomegranate tree, and her wife's gentle voice echoed in her head: "...... There is a big pomegranate tree in that yard, which is a hundred years old, and it bears hundreds of catties of pomegranates every year...... You go to live there, and it is good to have a clean omen, you don't have to worry about everything, just take care of your body, give birth to this child well, and I will put you and the child on the family tree......"

In the northeast corner of this heavy courtyard, a young woman slowly walked around the small courtyard with her waist on her back. There was only one pomegranate tree in the yard, and the branches and leaves on the book had just sprouted, and the clusters of brown-red buds were inconspicuous, far less brilliant than the fiery pomegranate blossoms in May.

Tongzhou Zhai family, a huge village courtyard is built continuously, but because there are many imperial villages in Tongzhou, the Zhuangzi of the princesses and princesses of the princess is naturally built with magnificent atmosphere, extraordinary specifications, the Zhai family Zhuangzi covers an area is not small, but the courtyard of the house is a little mediocre, not eye-catching.

The two men seemed to pay special attention to her repeatedly, and she couldn't tell whether it was hostility or something else, but they always made her feel like a thorn in the back...... It's just that this qiē is just her guess and feeling, and to put it bluntly, there is no evidence, she circled in her heart a few times, and after all, she pressed it down, and didn't tell Qin Zheng how she felt.

She sent someone to inquire about the information of Huo and Hu, but did not inquire about the relationship between their parents and grandparents...... Although most of the two governors lived only in the mansions of the capital, the protons grew up in the capital from generation to generation, and they were often assigned official positions and highly educated Confucian teachings...... She is used to staying in modern times, and after many years here, she still can't fully integrate into this era, such as the various connections of the family, such as the various connections of the teacher......

Qiu Chen nodded suddenly: "I see!" ”

"Oh......" Qin Zheng nodded, "I was still young when the two governors left Beijing to take up their posts, and I didn't have much impression of them, but I have heard a little about the matter of learning from Master Song, which is also normal." Liaodi and Nuergan are different from other border defenses, because they are located in the bitter cold land outside the customs, the original inhabitants are complicated and chaotic, and the land is vast and sparsely populated...... For various reasons, these two places are different from the others, and they are hereditary. Today's governor also grew up alone in the capital. And because the two places are vast and rich in products, so there is no room for loss, every time the prince grows up in the capital, the emperor will also assign a person with profound knowledge to teach him to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and also teach him poetry, writing, etiquette, etc., so that this generation of governors have a better teacher. At present, this generation of governors is learning from Ma Buyun...... It's just that the horse master was convicted and exiled before. ”

Qin Zheng asked about the vegetarian food and peony peony in Baoguang Temple, Qiu Chen was not too tired, and picked up the lively and fresh things with a smile, and said that King Yong and Prince Fu also went to Baoguang Temple to rejoice, and gave them flowers to loosen twice...... After saying all kinds of lively and joyful, Qiu Chen changed his words and said lightly: "We left the release pond and met Huo Feibai, the eldest son of the governor of Liaodi, and Hu Yang, the eldest son of the governor of Nu'er Gandu, I didn't expect those two people to be familiar with the ancestors and grandchildren of the Song family, and only after talking did I know that Master Song is the husband of Huo Dudu and Hu Dudu, and the old lady Song is the ancestor of the two sons!" ”

The actor and his wife involved in this topic just exchanged two sentences in such a short way, and then opened it and ignored it.

6 months pregnant...... I was able to faint in the palace only to be found pregnant...... Doesn't she have a belly? Even if April's dress is wide, it can't hide that she is six months pregnant......

She definitely didn't believe that her eyesight was so bad, and she picked such a superb scumbag plus the best cheap man plus the best brainless man!

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if he really did that, he would have already dealt with the matter on the road, how could he allow an unclean woman to be presented to the emperor? Not to mention enlarging Princess Nanchen's belly...... still doesn't admit it......

Don't say that Qin Zheng is not the kind of anxious ghost, he is in a hurry, it is easy for him to want a woman, and it is also easy to want a woman who is more beautiful than the princess of Nan Chenguo...... How could that happen?

Qin Zheng is not lacking in brains and eyes, how could he risk the crime of disapproval to dye the woman who is a tribute to Gui Chen? Since it is a tribute, it is naturally a tribute to the Ming Emperor. Without the influence of the Ming Emperor, it is a contempt for the imperial power and a great disrespect to the emperor...... He hadn't been kicked in the head by a donkey, how could he do something like that?

For a moment, I was shocked, hurt, and couldn't believe it...... After calming down, after her reason returned, she gradually calmed down, and reasoned before and after knowing that Qin Zheng would not be that kind of person. Princess Nan Chen's pregnancy is not true or false, but just saying that it is Qin Zheng's child so directly, which is very incredible.

A qiē doesn't need to ask, it's not so much a man who believes in himself, but a man who believes in himself. Hearing the scandals that Mama Chen told her, as the wife of the gossip actor and the mother of the gossip hero's son, she couldn't be unmoved.

You don't need to ask, if you ask, you lose.

Qin Zheng paused, looked at Qiu Chen's side face for a moment, and suddenly tightened his arm, grabbed his wife tightly into his arms, and strode forward while walking faster. The solemn and cold face just now, as if the iceberg suddenly collapsed and melted, in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pool of blue water ripples, smiles and joy overflowed, the corners of the mouth were torn apart, and a string of pleasant chuckles overflowed from her throat, infecting Qiu Chen, making her usual smile arc increase and deepen rapidly, and soon turned into a happy smile.

Qiu Chen also turned his head, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, then turned his gaze back, looked ahead, and continued to walk with a proper demeanor, while saying, "I believe my husband won't do that, so I don't think it's necessary to ask!" ”

"Oh?" Qin Zheng finally showed a hint of surprise, and then tried to suppress the joy in his eyes, let out a questioning sound, and his eyes turned back to his wife's face.

Qiu Chen didn't blink his eyes, but said lightly: "I don't think I should ask anything!" ”

"Ask whatever you want!" Qin Zheng's voice was faint, he didn't even turn his eyes, and his expression remained unchanged, but it just reflected the uneasiness in his heart.

Qin Zheng had his usual solemn look, one arm slightly tilted to support his wife's waist, adapting to his wife's stride and speed, walking slowly, not hurriedly, and his attitude was calm and peaceful.

The smile on Qiu Chen's face disappeared for some time, but she had been letting Qin Zheng walk slowly with her waist around her waist, nothing awkward, nothing else, as if she still trusted and relied on him wholeheartedly, without the slightest suspicion.

In this way, there was a vacuum around Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen, and I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

The children's legs are short but not slow, and when they enter the hanging flower door in the backyard, the two children have already bypassed a clump of caryophyllum and cannot see the shadow. There were Mama Wang, Mama Wei and others following closely, Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen were not too worried about the two children, and the maiden and mother-in-law who followed Qiu Chen only left Qingfeng and Wulan to follow from afar, and the others brought Qiu Chen's mother and son's utensils and things, and hurried back to Mu'en Courtyard to sort out the arrangements.

Qin Zheng nodded with a smile, put Brother Yun on the ground, reached out to catch Man'er who walked over quickly and was about to salute, touched the little girl's braids, and watched Man'er take Brother Yun and walk briskly in front of him, he reached out to help his wife, walked slowly side by side, and went all the way back to Mu'en Courtyard in the backyard.

Qiu Chen smiled back and watched Man'er jump down from the car behind him, and walked towards this side with a smile, only then did he smile and shake his head: "After taking the car all the way, my waist and legs are numb, let's go!" ”

Holding Brother Yun in one hand and helping Qiu Chen get out of the car with the other, Qin Zheng gently whispered with concern: "It's been hard all the way, right?" I called a bright sedan chair, take the sedan chair back! ”

The eyes of the two met, the joy in Qin Zheng's eyes was not strong, but it was gentle and soft, not dodging, not dodging, not dodging, not evading, Qiu Chen blinked his eyes, settled down the five flavors in his heart, pulled the corners of his mouth, opened a faint smile, let go of his hand, and let Brother Yun pounce on his little fat legs and rush into Qin Zheng's arms.

"Dad, Yun'er is here!" Without waiting for Qiu Chen to move, Brother Yun screamed happily and stretched out his hand outside the car. Qiu Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Brother Yun'er, raised his eyes, the curtain of the car had been lifted from the outside, and Qin Zheng's eyes were dark and bright, and his face with joy in his calm expression clearly entered her line of sight.

"Mother, Daddy!" Brother Yun'er's crisp voice pulled Qiu Chen's thoughts back, Qiu Chen was in a trance, stared through the curtain of the carriage door, and saw the tall and burly figure in green clothes step forward, took the reins and whip from the coachman, and personally drove the car all the way inside, and slowly stopped in the field when he entered the second gate.

Qiu Chen silently looked at the situation outside the Jingbei Hou Mansion through the purple bamboo car curtain, and inexplicably felt that the world in this gate that once made her warm and nostalgic and satisfied suddenly became strange and cold.

Outside the vermilion gate, the little man stood with his hands down, and the shadow wall in front of the door and across the street was still clean and tidy, without the slightest bit of decay......

Jingbei Hou Mansion stands at the southeast end of Shisha Sea, almost surrounded by water on three sides, in the twilight spring season, the flowers and trees inside and outside the high wall are more and more luxuriant, the houses and pavilions that are stacked on top of each other are reflected in it, forming the beautiful scenery of flying eaves painting corners, flowers and trees covering.

Early the next morning, after tidying up and eating a simple breakfast sent from the temple, everyone boarded the car, left Baoguang Temple, and returned to the capital all the way.

During the day, they had a lot of fun playing and fasting, and at night they gathered in the courtyard to eat some fasting food, and after talking for a while, they went back to the house to rest.

Qiu Chen said this sentence neither fast nor slow, and his tone was flat, but after finishing speaking, he kept staring at Mama Chen's expression, revealing that she didn't really care.

Qiu Chen stared at the Chen family for a while before he suddenly smiled and said, "Don't tell me, the child that Princess Nan Chen is pregnant with is Hou Ye's!" ”

Chen pursed the corners of his lips and watched Qiu Chen nod his head slowly but clearly.

"Six months?" Qiu Chen exclaimed, but he still didn't forget that he lowered his voice, because this exclamation was like being squeezed out of his chest, hissing with a broken sound, which made people feel uncomfortable to hear.

Chen walked over, waved away the little girl who was waiting, and personally removed a coral white jade red gold silk character story hairpin for Qiu Chen, and replied in a low voice: "Madam, just now the prince sent An Lu to come and passed on the prince's message, saying that the princess of the southern Chen Kingdom was finally summoned to see her yesterday, and she didn't want to faint halfway because the distance from the palace gate to the vestibule was farther, and the imperial doctor said that she was six months pregnant!" ”

Several groups of people left their rooms in the courtyard for a while and went back to their rooms to wash and rest, Qiu Chen sent Mrs. Song and Mrs. Wang into the upper room to settle down, and then turned back to the West Chamber. Brother Yun was tired of playing, and he was already asleep on the kang. She was also a little tired, washed her hands and face and sat in front of the makeup, and the girls removed the headdress and bun, ready to take off the big makeup and rest for a while.

The small courtyard is divided into the main room and the left and right wings, just one night, the old lady of the Song family and Mrs. Wang occupied the east and west rooms of the main house, Qiu Chen took Brother Yun to occupy the west room, Wang Jingshu, Song Xi'er and Man'er occupied the east room.

Back in the courtyard, Mama Chen greeted Qiu Chen and the others into the house.

Qiu Chen and Wang followed Mrs. Song side by side, Wang Jingshu, Song Xi'er, and Man'er fell behind, surrounded by the girl's mother-in-law's guards, and went all the way back to the small courtyard.

"The hour is not early, you still have an errand to do, and the old body will not delay you. You guys are busy, when you are free, go and sit with me, the master talked about the two of you a few days ago. Old Madam Song said with a smile, Huo Feibai and Hu Yang hurriedly gave their hands in response, their expressions extremely humble and respectful.

Although it was Mrs. Song and Song Xi'er who came forward to let people receive the peony flowers, Mrs. Wang was also a beneficiary, and she also smiled and bowed her head to show her gratitude, Huo Feibai and Hu Yang hurriedly returned the salute. Qiu Chen smiled slightly, and nodded slightly, Hu Yang's eyes lit up, he quickly glanced at Huo Feibai, and smiled and bowed his hand in return, Huo Feibai was slightly slower by half a minute, but he also bowed his hand solemnly and solemnly, and did not see half a point of contempt.

Old Madam Song smiled and nodded, and saw her mother-in-law step forward to take the vase of peony flowers from Huo Feibai's hand.
