The sky is getting cooler.

Xia Xue wore a soft lake blue silk skirt, and the light purple bauhinia embroidered on the skirt was very beautiful.

She was fair and ruddy, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, and she knew that she was doing well.

Liu Jincheng knew that her mother-in-law would bring her daughter-in-law's two young sisters-in-law over today, and after greeting Wu in the main room, she avoided it early.

He also had a smile in his eyes, and a little bit of a stupid look at the bottom of his eyes.

Xu is a first-time man to be a father, and most of them are like this.

With a concubine and a niece present, Wu didn't want to ask her some questions that were too private, so he only said some words of relief on the face, and Yin Yin told her to be careful about her body, and many taboos when pregnant.

Xia Xue pulled her two younger sisters to eat snacks and asked some questions about schoolwork.

Xia Chu didn't have to worry about her, although Xia Bangqiu occasionally stumbled, but she also answered.

Xia Xue was very happy.

Xu is living well, and he has added a few installments to his sisters who were close to him when he was not married.

The grandchildren of the Xia family are actually not many, and of course they cannot be compared with some big families, but there are only two people in the house who have children and daughters, and no juniors have died for many years.

After sitting for a while, she heard a servant woman come to see her, and Xia Xue hurriedly called someone in.

The person who came was a forty or fifty-year-old mother-in-law, who was kind and kind-eyed, and said with a smile: "Madame has prepared a house for the two girls, and I want to invite the two of them to come over and have a look." ”

"You two go and see!" Wu just wanted to send the girls away so that they could talk to their daughter in private, so they followed the conversation.

"Yes." Xia Chu and Xia Bangqiu got up together, and looked at the woman again: "I'm tired." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The mother-in-law was busy bowing slightly, saying this, but there was no panic on her face, she only smiled: "Girls, please come with the old slave." ”

After sending the two girls away, Xia Xue saw that her mother seemed to have something to say to herself, so she dispersed all the maids in the house and told them to stand guard outside the door, and someone would report if someone came.

Wu looked at his daughter, only to feel that he hadn't seen her for a few months, the little girl who was once delicate in the palm of her hand was already so big, and she was even going to be a mother in the New Year.

"How is my uncle treating you?"

"Mother~" Xia Xue called softly, blushing embarrassedly.

"Let's talk to two mothers and daughters, you are not allowed to fool me." Wu is solemn, although she is a member of someone else's family if she marries, but she is a piece of meat that fell from her body, how can she say that it doesn't hurt if it doesn't hurt? Moreover, if the girl gets married, and her mother's family does not support her, who will care about her life or death? So he asked very solemnly, "You have to be honest." ”

Xia Xue knew what her mother meant, and immediately shook her head: "He...... He treated me very well, although he was a little anxious and careless, but he never wanted to wronged me, even when he went out, he always brought me some favorite food back......"

didn't blindly say that he was okay no matter what, so Wu was a little convinced, and nodded: "That's good." Then he asked about the most important thing: "Now that you are pregnant, your mother-in-law ...... What can you say? ”

The words are full of hints.

If the daughter-in-law is pregnant, what will the mother-in-law say?

Naturally, let her have a good baby, and give her a big fat boy in the future...... Now that I can't serve a man, shouldn't I mention a person in the room or something?

The Liu family doesn't have the same rules as the Xia family.

Wu herself has suffered the loss of the girl, but she has suffered a welfare for the children who came later, but in her heart, there is still a pimple there, and she can't get rid of it.

"I didn't say anything!" Xia Xue shook her head.

Wu thought about it, his daughter was pregnant, but he was afraid that she would be angry, and he would not mention it to her at this time, so he said it more clearly, it was better than not being able to react in the future: "Mother means, does your mother-in-law have any plans to give you a person in the room?" If there is, I might as well make plans as soon as possible, and it is better to promote the people around you than to cheapen those little hooves around my uncle......"

Xia Xue then understood.

On the contrary, she was very calm, and there was no surprise at all, but she couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother! How can there be such a thing! ”

"Why not?" Seeing that she didn't care, Wu was a little worried: "I know that you have a good relationship with your uncle, and you don't want to intervene in someone, but this kind of thing, you still have to take precautions......

"Mother, you don't understand." Xia Xue hurriedly interrupted her, the more she continued to talk about it, the more troublesome it became. She also knew that her mother had suffered a loss from Aunt Qing, so she had such an idea, but because she cared about herself, there was a burst of heat in her heart, but she was really worried: "Jincheng has no maids by his side." ”

Wu was stunned: "What? ”

"My daughter didn't know at first, she just thought that she didn't serve in our house, or she didn't know until she returned to the door that before she got married, her mother-in-law sent everyone out to match people, and now she is working on her mother's side! In our yard, there are only a few little girls who have just started to keep their heads, and then there are a few elegant and gentle......"

Xia Xue's original eldest maid Jiahui was married before she got married, and naturally it was not easy to be a dowry maid, so she took the two second-class elegant Wenhui below, and Wu added two more to her, named Fufeng and Lancao, and got together four maids to marry together.

Xia Xue's nurse Mother Chen is now in charge of the affairs in their couple's courtyard, and she is already a person like a housekeeper, while Liu Jincheng's nurse is in charge of the affairs of the grandfather outside, and she does not interfere in the affairs of his room.

The mother-in-law's meaning is no longer obvious, and Liu Jincheng also trusts Xia Xue very much, or rather, their mother and son both trust the Xia family's tutor very much.

Xia Xue was so trusted when she first came, and she wanted to repay her well, putting their little couple's small yard together in an orderly manner, and with Mrs. Liu's help, none of the people below dared to disobey the yin and yang.

"My mother-in-law has now exempted me from the morning and dusk, and she also said that I will let the people in my yard serve well, and I will not add any more people to us." Xia Xue said, with a happy smile on her face. "Jincheng...... Jincheng also said that the two of us can live a good life, he is not that kind of person. ”

Wu was already emotional.

She was naturally happy in her heart, and there was nothing more intimate than such an in-law.

Uncle's assurance, whether it is the sweet words of the newlywed Yan'er or not, it is the rarest promise of a man to be able to release these words.

At least, she hadn't heard these caring words in Xia Yan's mouth.

"Uncle has a heart." Wu smiled with satisfaction: "My son is blessed." ”

Xia Xue smiled embarrassedly.

**

On the other side, Xia Chu and Xia Bangqiu went to the small courtyard prepared for them, but they lived next to the girls of this Liufu.

Originally, Xia Xue should have prepared these things, but Mrs. Liu didn't bother her, and personally instructed someone to arrange them.

The room was very spacious, and it was deflated early, and the miscellaneous dust was removed, and the ice basin was put on it, and it was not stuffy at all. There was no incense burning in the house, but two pots of seasonal melons and fruits, the smell was very pleasant, and the utensils were all fine, which was three points better than their own house, which showed that they were extremely attentive.

Although they live in a courtyard, they are one person in one room, and the maids they bring also have a place to be placed.

Xia Bangqiu lived for a long time, so she lived in the east house, and went to the west chamber at the beginning of summer.

Some of the personal belongings brought by the maids were sorted out, and the two of them looked around for a while, and felt satisfied, so they went to the courtyard next door and met with a few girls from the Liu family.

The two families had known each other before, and they had met a few times, and they didn't feel unfamiliar. At the beginning of the summer, he knew everyone's temperament quite well, and Liu Fuzhong did not pinch the tip to be strong, and his temper was very docile and soft, especially the eldest girl.

She knows that these are all concubines, but they have been raised under Mrs. Liu's knees, and they are not so childish, they are very easy to get along with, and their temperament is more gentle, which is very likable.

Xia Bangqiu didn't feel much, she saw in her eyes, these ancient girls were almost all rules made of the same mold, there was no difference, even Xia Xue was very restrained!

At the beginning of the summer, I was still young, and when I was a child, I looked a little lazy and a little wooden. Growing up, but it seems to be enlightened, learning everything quickly, if it weren't for seeing her never have any accidents, she thought she was also a different person!

Xia Bangqiu felt that Xia Chu was a little different from other girls, she had a temperament that others did not have, seemingly lazy but giving people invisible pressure - she had never seen the emperor and queen on top, otherwise she would understand that this kind of temperament is not ordinary extravagance, but at the top of the pyramid, it has been on the throne for a long time, and it naturally forms a majesty.

Even if it is careless, it gives people invisible pressure.

After playing with a few girls for an afternoon and having dinner early, Wu didn't want to stay long, so he reluctantly went back.

Mrs. Liu left Xia Chu to speak, and the girls didn't think it was strange, and they got up and quit one after another.

After a few words, Mrs. Liu detoured to Xia Xiu: "Is there still a brother in Chu'er's family who has not been married?" ”

"Fifth brother?" Now there is no marriage, and only Xia Anchong is left, right? Xia Chu nodded: "Yes, aunt." ”

Line 5...... That's not right, isn't Xia Xiu the fourth in line?

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the Xia family didn't have a concubine! It's not too young, and it's not two years behind Xia Xiu!

"No, my aunt is asking about your brother......

At the beginning of the summer, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

It won't be Xia Yi, Xia Yi is already married, and Mei's will give birth in a few months.

Xia Xiu?

For no reason, why did you ask about the fourth brother, and deliberately pointed out that it was 'undecided'?

At the beginning of the summer, I thought of the eldest girl of the Liu family.

This girl is really good, the Zheng family is a kind person, and the Liu family is high enough, although it is not a concubine that is criticized, but speaking of which, Xia Xiu is just a concubine.

The father of the eldest girl of the Liu family is a scholar! Compare ten Xia Qing to the next!

Speaking of which, if they really get married to the Liu family, their second room is not just high!

"I asked my second brother, but my aunt didn't know that my second brother had already made a marriage." Xia Chu suppressed the little thought in his heart and said with a smile: "It was decided last year, and it has already passed the small decision." ”

Mrs. Liu inevitably showed a hint of surprise.

But this one can't do it, and there are other people, so don't be too disappointed.

"But my aunt is lonely and unheard, and she hasn't heard about it."

"Because it was made in Jiangyin, it didn't spread in Jingli." Xia Chu explained: "I didn't mean to hide it from my aunt. ”

"Aunt knows, I don't blame you." Mrs. Liu reached out and touched Xia Chu's cute little face.

The child is getting better and better.

"Do you know that you're preparing for next year's draft?"

"Draft?" At the beginning of the summer, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

In her time, there was no such thing as a draft, they were all invited to the palace by the former queen to see each other in person, and Xia Chu was the princess who did this. And then there is the fact that if there is someone that the emperor himself likes, a will will also enter the palace.

However, as the emperor's concubine, there are almost no daughters of high-ranking courtiers, except for the queen.

When she sat in the position of queen, the emperor ordered Luo Ziqian to enter the palace as a concubine in order to collect the military power of the Luo family.

The concubine is also a concubine.

"Forehead......" Seeing her blank, Mrs. Liu was a little embarrassed, she forgot that Xia Chu was not yet ten years old, and she didn't necessarily understand these things at all. is going to choose concubines for the princes today, and the second girl in your family is probably among them. ”

Xia Bangqiu?

It's not that Xia Chu doesn't look down on her, her temperament is afraid that she can't get into the eyes of nobles.

"Grandmother said that the girls in our family are not in the court." Xia Chu said lightly.

As soon as Houmen entered the deep sea, Xiao Lang was a passer-by from then on.

Poor Hongyan always has a thin life, and he is the most ruthless emperor.

The gorgeous court is not a good place to go, if you can't go, don't go!

A hint of appreciation flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes.

This is not to Xia Chu, but to Mrs. Xia's Liu.

Such a wise old man is not from a family, but from a mud-legged family, who believes it?

Mrs. Liu said a few words to Xia Chu, and then she didn't mention it.

The Xia family has its own plans, so she can rest assured.

When Xia Chu returned to the house, Xia Bangqiu hadn't slept yet, waiting for her to come back.

"Second sister, why haven't you rested yet?" Xia Chu asked with some surprise.

"I have some recognition of the bed, it's not like I changed places suddenly, I'm a little uncomfortable, I want to talk to you and sleep." Xia Bangqiu Road.

That's weird!

She didn't know how to recognize the bed at all, and she could sleep soundly anywhere, but she was just looking for an excuse to ask Madame Liu what she told her. After all, Xia Chu is not the only one from the Xia family, and she is Xia Xue's own sister!

If she wants to say that there is nothing to do, she doesn't believe it.

Xia Chu didn't hide it from her, she just tried a few words, and then told her about the draft.

Seeing that Xia Bangqiu's eyes showed surprise, but she didn't look surprised, she couldn't help but smile.

Xia Bangqiu really knows!

After all, this time, I don't know who is tempting whom! (To be continued.) )
