Chapter VII

Although she didn't sleep much at night, Mo Shu'an woke up at that hour, rubbed her eyebrows and carefully got off the bed, and covered the bed curtain, so that Yahuan waited for her to change her clothes, Mo Shu'an whispered, "Danqiu look at it, don't let people disturb her mother's rest." ”

Danqiu replied in a low voice.

Mo Shu'an just went out, but it was only slightly bright outside, Mo Shu'an took a few deep breaths, only then did he feel more sober, and found an open space in the small courtyard to exercise.

It was noon when Hu Shi woke up, and Danqiu brought water to let Hu Shi moisten his throat, "What about Sister An?" ”

Danqiu twisted the cloth towel and asked Hu Shi to wipe his face, "The girl went to the kitchen to stew soup for Madame." ”

"This kid ......" Hu Shi laughed, looked at the sky outside and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"A quarter past noon." Danqiu helped Hu Shi sit in front of the bronze mirror, and took a comb to smooth her hair, Hu's hair is very good, black and dense, and she never needs to hold a wig like some women to pull it up, "The girl has specially explained, so as not to disturb the lady's rest." ”

Hu Shi didn't mean to blame, and asked, "Is there anyone looking for someone in the front yard?" ”

Danqiu didn't hide it, "The old man and the young lady have sent people here and have been sent away by the girl." ”

Hu Shi didn't ask again, "It's good to be simple today." ”

"Yes."

Before Hu Shi could finish dressing up, a little maid came in and saluted and said, "Madam, the eldest young lady is here and is waiting in the hall." ”

Hu Shi frowned slightly, and said, "I know, talk to Mao, I'll be there soon, Mao's pregnancy is not suitable for tea, give her some red date soup." ”

"Yes."

When Hu finished dressing up, and was just about to go out, he saw Liu's mother come in with a food box, and said with a smile, "Madam, the white fungus porridge stewed by the girl herself, let you use the cushion first, and she will entertain the young lady." ”

Hearing this, Hu Shi said, "This kid is messing around, what if it gets hot." ”

Mother Liu took out the porridge and put half a bowl in front of Hu, "Since Mrs. feels sorry for the girl, use more." ”

Hu Shi answered, took the spoon and slowly used it.

Mao has not yet shown his nostalgia, he has already changed into flat shoes and loose dresses, and the jewelry on his body has also gone a lot, and when he saw Mo Shu'an coming in, he got up with Yahuan's hand and said gently, "Sister." ”

Mo Shu'an shouted, "Sister-in-law is pregnant, sit down quickly." ”

When Mao heard this, he held Yahuan's hand with one hand and sat down with his waist with the other, "My sister sits too." ”

Mo Shu'an chose to sit opposite Mao's, and waited for Yahuan to bring tea and snacks before explaining, "Mother was a little tired yesterday, and I just fell asleep at dawn, I'm afraid she hasn't gotten up yet, so I told Yahuan not to let them disturb her mother's rest." As he spoke, he got up and bowed, "I didn't mean to snub my sister-in-law, and I asked my sister-in-law not to blame." ”

"That's as it should be." Mao is not a scheming person, even if he is unhappy, he will not show a penny on his face, "Mother's body is good?" Why don't you ask the doctor to come over and take a look? ”

Even if Mo Shu'an makes excuses, she will never say that her mother and brother are unwell, "It's okay, if you need it, you will trouble your sister-in-law at that time." ”

The current housekeeper of Mo's house is Mao's and Chen's mother, that Chen's mother turned out to be the eldest girl next to Mo Zhiteng's biological mother, and later married the housekeeper, and when Mo Zhiteng was born, she became Mo Zhiteng's nurse, Chen's mother's husband is now the housekeeper, and their family is very decent in Mo's father.

When the Mao family was not married, Mo's father directly ordered Chen's mother to take care of the big and small affairs of the house for Mo Zhiteng's or to guard against the Hu family.

When Mo Shu'an's mother first married in, she suffered a lot of losses from Chen's mother, at that time, Hu's body was weak and could only endure it, but Mao's was dissatisfied with Chen's mother for a long time, and the two fought many times to win or lose, in general, Mao's suffered more, although Mao is now in charge of Mo Zhiteng's affairs, but the half of the dowry left by Mo Zhiteng's biological mother is still in charge of Chen's mother.

The Hu family took advantage of the contradiction between Mao's and Chen's mother, but cleaned up the manpower in his courtyard and the children's courtyard several times, making these three courtyards faintly become the courtyards of Mofu, and Mao's and Chen's mother were in a delicate balance, but they couldn't take care of Hu's much.

Mao responded in one bite.

Mo Shu'an saw that Mao had something to say, but she didn't want to speak first, but waited for herself to ask why she came, but Mo Shu'an was not as good as she wanted, and took a small sip of the teacup and drank the red date soup, which was specially prepared for Mo Shu'an by the Hu family in the small kitchen.

Hu Shi has suffered from small days, every time a small day comes, he has a sore back and back, and he will have unbearable abdominal pain earlier, so he pays special attention to Mo Shu'an's small day, and every time he is about to arrive, he has to let the courtyard prepare red date soup and stare at Mo Shu'an to drink, and chicken soup and the like are even more constant, even if it is a little cooler in summer, Mo Shu'an will not be touched, and Mo Shu'an will not be tired.

With Hu Shi staring at him like this, Mo Shu'an has a very regular monthly life, and there is nothing to do.

Mao waited for a long time and saw that Mo Shu'an drank two cups of red date soup and ate a piece of pastry, scolded secretly in his heart, and said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, "Sister An, do you know about the Zhao family?" ”

Mo Shu'an swallowed the contents of her mouth, took a sip of jujube soup and said, "Mother mentioned a little bit yesterday. ”

Mao sighed, seeing Mo Shu'an's sweet food, he felt a little hungry, "Big brother-in-law...... Sister Ying is still so young, she doesn't know what to do. ”

Mo Shu'an lowered her head, stirred the handkerchief in her hand but didn't speak, her hair fell down to cover her cheeks, Mao couldn't even see her expression clearly, Mao saw Mo Shu'an look like this, and he couldn't tell for a moment whether she was pretending or real, "Father specially asked someone to invite my grandmother today, and I think I came to pick up Sister Ying back." ”

"Oh." Mo Shu'an answered and did not answer.

Mao simply stopped going around in circles and said directly, "It's just that the eldest brother-in-law has just mourned, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate, and it will hinder the reputation of the eldest sister and sister." ”

Mo Shu'an looked up at Mao, moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, which made Mao's look anxious, and urged, "What does my sister think?" ”

"......" Mo Shu'an blinked, as if thinking about something, and waited until Mao's eyebrows showed a little impatience before shaking his head.

Mao looked at Mo Shu'an's appearance, did he shake his head whether he felt inappropriate or didn't know or felt that it didn't matter?

"Sister?" Mao didn't stop and then asked, "My sister also thinks it's inappropriate?" ”

Mo Shu'an then spoke, "I don't know. ”

Mao couldn't wait to wake up Mo Shu'an, she thought that Mo Shu'an would not be happy that Mo Jingying would come back, after all, Mo Jingying's domineering temperament bullied Mo Shu'an, and Mo Shu'an was about to get married, the Zhang family probably had something to say, Mao felt that Mo Shu'an's mother and daughter must be in a hurry.

As long as Mo Shu'an showed a little dislike, Mao had a reason to talk to her husband and let her husband talk to her father-in-law again.

Mo Shu'an was not in a hurry at all, slightly lowered her eyes and looked at Mao's hand twisting the handkerchief, it should have been Mao's who was anxious, after all, Mo Jingying and Chen's mother had a very good relationship, Mao's was pregnant in the house and overwhelmed Chen's mother, and as soon as Mo Jingying came back, I am afraid that the situation will be reversed, I can't say that Chen's mother still has to hold Mo Jingying out to fight for power with Mao's family, after all, Mao's pregnancy needs to recuperate, some things Chen's mother is a subordinate person who is not good at getting ahead, but Mo Jingying does not have these concerns.

The last thing the house wants to let Mo Jingying come back is the Mao family.

Mo Shu'an seemed to think for a long time, and plucked up the courage to say, "If you want to come to my grandmother and father's hearts to think freely, my sister-in-law doesn't need to worry." ”

Mao's eyes looked at Mo Shu'an like a fool, he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, he made a move, but he hit a ball of cotton, stretched out his hand and stroked his stomach a few times, and then forcibly suppressed his anger and said goodbye to Mo Shu'an.

Mo Shu'an sent Mao to the gate of the courtyard, and after Mao left, he turned around and went back to the house, the hesitation and cowardice between his eyebrows and eyes when facing Mao just now had disappeared, and he was replaced with a smile, and sure enough, when he entered the house, he saw Hu sitting in the hall, "Mother, is the porridge available?" ”

Mao's face was ugly and he walked on the road, and suddenly asked, "Lamei, do you say that Xiao Hu really didn't get up or did he deliberately hide from anyone, so he pushed Sister An out?" ”

Lamei helped Mao to walk very steadily, and when she heard the words, she said, "The slave and maid look like they are deliberately avoiding." ”

Mao snorted, "Sure enough, it's a treacherous one." ”

Lamei did not speak.

The Mao family looks down on the Hu family and Mo Shu'an, but treats Mo Junting differently, after all, it is not surprising that Mo Junting's future should be good, so the attitude towards the Hu family's mother and daughter on weekdays is good, "Sister An is taught to be like a quail, even if she marries the Zhang family, I am afraid she will not be able to stand." ”

Lamei persuaded, "The most important thing for the young lady now is to take care of her body, and when the child is born, she will be the grandson of the house, what can the eldest girl and Chen's mother do?" ”

"I just can't get used to their flamboyance." Mao gritted her teeth and said, even if Mo Jingying gets married, she is the first one to get something in Mo Fu, not only Mo Shu'an's things are snatched, but Mao's family has to stand back, her husband not only does not support her, but also often asks her to let Mo Jingying, why! In the future, Mofu is her husband's, and she is the first one in this family. Which married girl goes back to her parents' house every day?

Mao also knows that the most important thing now is the child in the womb.

Lamei glanced at the little maids behind her, and those little maids were a few steps behind, and Lamei whispered, "Actually, the slave maid thinks it's good to take the eldest girl back home." ”

Mao's brows furrowed, stopped and looked at Lamei, Lamei continued, "And in the future, sooner or later, this Mofu will be the young lady in charge, and the cowardly nature of the step-lady is also a cowardly advantage, at least she will not be embarrassed with the young lady in the future, and how the eldest girl will live at that time, doesn't it depend on the young lady?" ”

When Lamei said this, Mao's expression soothed and smiled, "Or Lamei is sensible, by the way, is there any news for my mother?" ”

"Madame, I'm afraid I'm going to have to discuss it with the master." Lamei explained.

Mao touched his stomach and nodded, "My cousin is the most well-behaved and has a thick dowry, which is the same age as the second brother, if you go to urge your mother, in case the second brother is promoted, I am afraid that it will be ......" will not look down on the daughter of a merchant.

Lamei complied.
