On this day, Zhen Baolu went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to see Zhen Baoqiong.
Earlier, Zhen Baoqiong had a good relationship with Song Ru, the eldest girl of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and Zhen Baolu was inseparable from her sister, so this Zhongyong Marquis Mansion naturally did not come less. However, in the past two years, due to avoiding suspicion, the number of visits has decreased.
As soon as I arrived at the door, Mama Ge, who was beside Zhen Baoqiong, came to greet her. Mama Ge was wearing an autumn-scented gown, and she looked good.
Zhen Baolu looked at Mama Ge and asked, "How is my sister doing?" β
Mama Ge led people in and said, "Mrs. Hou treats our young lady well. The child in the young lady's belly is also healthy and healthy, but she loves to make noise, and the young lady has no appetite for dinner these days. The young lady was thinking about you a few days ago, and she must be happy to be here today. β
Zhen Baolu only noticed the first half of the child, and frowned when she heard it. Xindao: As my grandmother said, my sister's reaction during pregnancy was great.
When I entered Jin Yuxuan, where Zhen Baoqiong lived, I saw Zhen Baoqiong sitting by the window with a big belly, doing embroidery work.
The embroidered belly pocket of a small baby is very delicate and cute.
Zhen Baolu went in and shouted in a crisp voice: "Sister." β
When Zhen Baoqiong heard her sister's voice, she hurriedly turned her head to look, and when she saw her bright and moving sister, she really had a moment of trance. Later, when I saw her smiling and calling her sister, I felt that she was married, and this was still her lively and lovely sister. Zhen Baoqiong hurriedly put aside the embroidery work in her hand and was about to get up to greet her.
"Sister, you can sit down." Zhen Baolu hurriedly went over and looked at her sister's figure, and saw that her belly was bulging, slightly bigger than what she saw last time. Zhen Baolu looked down at her belly, her eyes were full of joy, and she said childishly, "I'll come to see my sister and take a look at my little nephew." β
Zhen Baoqiong smiled: "They have all become relatives, how can they still talk like a child." But in this way, Zhen Baoqiong can also see that her sister is doing well in her husband's house. She looked at her sister, combing the woman's hair bun, wearing a golden hairpin with pomegranate flowers inlaid with beads, a pair of Nanzhu earrings hanging from her earlobes, and wearing a brocade smoky red jacquard gown.
She raised her hand and stroked her sister's face, pulled her to sit down with her, and asked with a smile, "How are you staying in the Anguo Mansion?" How is your brother-in-law treating you? β
Zhen Baolu replied with a smile: "Yes." Sister, don't worry, I'm fine, and my eldest cousin treats me well. β
That's good. Zhen Baoqiong was also relieved. Although she could see it, she still wanted to hear her sister say it in person.
Zhen Baoqiong asked Mama Ge and the maids to send the prepared snacks and fruits. Yesterday, I knew that my sister was coming, Zhen Baoqiong has always been steady, but she was also excited for a long time, thanks to her pregnancy, she didn't have to go over to say goodbye, so she slept a little more in the morning.
Seeing that her sister was so polite, Zhen Baolu also took a piece of lotus cake and ate it, and said to her sister: "Listen to Mama Ge, my little nephew is very naughty. β
Zhen Baoqiong's eyebrows and eyes were full of the softness of being a mother, and she stroked her round belly. She was well nourished and had a slightly larger belly than her usual six-month-old belly. She said: "It's true that I like to make a fuss, but I'm used to it." "This is pregnant with a child, even if it is noisy, it is a sweet burden.
Zhen Baolu listened, looked at her sister's belly, and was also a little envious. She picked up the baby belly pocket that Zhen Baoqiong had put aside, red and embroidered with two vivid carps. Zhen Baolu bent her lips and smiled, and saw that there were still baby shoes below, small and very cute.
Zhen Baolu couldn't put it down when she touched it, and looked at Zhen Baoqiong with bright eyes: "Sister's hands are so skillful, these shoes belly pockets are really beautiful." β
Zhen Baoqiong said: "When you get pregnant in the future, my sister will do it for you." β
She's it.
Zhen Baolu's cheeks were red, she never hid it from her sister, so she said: "I discussed with my eldest cousin, and I will have a child in a year or two." β
Zhen Baoqiong was originally worried that her sister was young - she couldn't take care of herself, how could she take care of her children? Besides, it's not good to have children at too young age. It was her, when she married Song Zhi, a few days before the wedding, Song Zhi also told her that the problem of the child was not urgent. But this child's affairs, how can he make his own decisions, and he came like this unconsciously. At that time, when she saw Song Zhi's happy appearance, she realized that he didn't want children, but he just didn't want to burden her.
"It's fine." Zhen Baoqiong looked at her sister and said, "Anyway, you are young, and your grandmother can also be considerate." "Zhen Baoqiong puts her sister first in everything.
Zhen Baolu really thinks so, but looking at such a cute little belly pocket and small shoes at this moment, I really have some expectations in my heart. She and Xue Rang's children must be very cute. However, thinking of his attitude towards Xue Qian's younger brother, Zhen Baolu was a little worried, if she gave birth to a son in the future, would he treat his son like this.
Zhen Baolu told Zhen Baoqiong that she was in charge of the feed. Zhen Baoqiong was really a little surprised when she heard this, and then smiled and said, "This is a good thing." With my grandmother here, I really don't have to worry about it. β
As soon as he passed the door, he handed over the middle feed of the house to her, which is a great trust and importance for a new daughter-in-law. And Zhen Baoqiong, although Mrs. Zhongyong Marquis likes her as a daughter-in-law, she is the second daughter-in-law after all, and she also has an eldest daughter-in-law, Wei. The Wei family is the niece of Mrs. Zhongyonghou, and the relationship is naturally not comparable to ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Zhen Baolu smiled, knowing that this was indeed a great thing. With her in charge of the middle feed, where will the people of the Anguo Mansion look down on her because of her young age.
While the two sisters were talking, Mama Ge came in and said, "Second young lady, the third girl and the cousin have come to see you." β
Zhen Baoqiong listened and said, "I know." He looked at Zhen Baolu again and said, "Alu, go out with me." β
Zhen Baolu helped her sister out together, and saw two young girls in their prime walking in side by side, talking and laughing.
The one who wears a peach-colored jacket and combs her hair in a double hanging bun has a small face with melon seeds, which is very delicate and beautiful, and is somewhat similar to Song Ru, that is, the third girl in the long house, Song Zhi's sister Song Yin, who is only thirteen this year. And the one next to Song Yin was a little taller and older, wearing a lotus-colored embroidered orchid gown, his hair was combed into a bun, with a goose egg face, eyebrows and apricot eyes, looking gentle and generous, very delicate.
Song Yin hurriedly called her second sister-in-law sweetly, looked at Zhen Baolu again, and shouted, "Sister Lu." She knew Zhen Baolu.
He also introduced the girl beside him to her.
Only then did Zhen Baolu know that this little girl was the sister-in-law of Song Yang, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Wei Mingzhu.
Wei Mingzhu is the niece of Mrs. Zhongyonghou, and Song Yin is a cousin, and the relationship is like a sister.
Zhen Baolu thought of the things in her previous life, and couldn't help but take a look at this Wei Mingzhu. Wei Mingzhu's sister married Song Yang, the eldest son of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, and her favorite was the second son, Song Zhi. In her previous life, because she had to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, her family affairs were not smooth, and at that time, the people of the Marquis of Zhongyong also disliked her sister, and the second daughter-in-law she was satisfied with was this niece Wei Mingzhu.
In this way, Zhen Baolu didn't have much affection for Song Mingzhu, who coveted her brother-in-law, and only greeted with a slight smile: "Second Miss Wei." β
Wei Mingzhu's demeanor was down-to-earth and generous.
Song Yin said what she meant: "The second cousin recently wanted to watch "Liu Boyuan's Travels", I heard the second brother mention it a while ago, and I knew that he had it in his study, so I accompanied the second cousin to come over to take a look, but I didn't know that the second brother was not there." Second sister-in-law, Sister Lu is here today, I won't bother with my second cousin, and when the second brother comes, you can talk to him. β
Song Yin has a good relationship with Wei Mingzhu, and since her sister Song Ru got married, Song Yin has treated Wei Mingzhu like a sister. If it weren't for her second brother who married Zhen Baoqiong early, she very much hoped that the second brother would marry Wei Mingzhu.
Zhen Baoqiong glanced at Wei Mingzhu lightly, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I'll order the maid to send it to my second cousin later." β
Wei Mingzhu was stunned, looked at Zhen Baoqiong, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not good...... Wei Mingzhu and Song Zhi grew up together, and naturally knew that although Song Zhi, the second son of Song, had a good temper, he never allowed others to enter her study, not even his own sister Song Yin. It was only Song Yin who said this.
Zhen Baoqiong smiled slightly and said, "It's not in the way." β
Wei Mingzhu's expression was faint, and he didn't speak.
As for Song Yin, when it comes to this, where can't Song Yin see that this is allowed by her second brother?
Song Yin was a little envious, thinking that her second brother was really good to her second sister-in-law. But when I think of this second sister-in-law, she is knowledgeable and talented, and it is normal for her second brother to like it so much.
Song Yin said happily: "Okay, I'll thank my second sister-in-law." β
Wei Mingzhu's expression was not very good, she looked at the smiling Zhen Baoqiong, and heard of her reputation in the women's school, she was already a little ashamed of herself, but now she saw her with a big belly and the posture of the hostess, and felt that she looked like an outsider. She likes her second cousin, and seeing that her sister is married to her eldest cousin, she is also faintly looking forward to marrying her second cousin. Even her aunt mentioned this, but at that time she was still young, and she took it for granted, and when she grew up, she would definitely marry her second cousin, unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly, Zhen Baoqiong appeared.
Her second cousin spoiled her so much that he even allowed her to come and go at will in the study.
Wei Mingzhu forced a smile and thanked: "Thank you second cousin-in-law." β
After Song Yin and Wei Mingzhu left, Zhen Baolu winked at her sister: "Sister is really amazing." β
Zhen Baoqiong pretended to be puzzled and said with a smile: "What do I have to be awesome?" β
Zhen Baolu took her sister's arm and went in, sat down again, and said, "This second girl Wei likes her brother-in-law." β
Zhen Baoqiong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You are a sharp-eyed person." β
Zhen Baolu said: "Where are the sharp eyes? The second girl Wei looked at her sister's eyes, and even the blind could see what was going on. Sister, your fluttering words made this Wei Er girl ashamed of herself, and I thought that Wei Er Girl would not make a special trip to 'borrow books' from her brother-in-law next time. β
Zhen Baoqiong said: "Actually...... If it weren't for me, the second son of Song would be married to this second girl of Wei. Second Miss Wei and your brother-in-law grew up together. β
Zhen Baolu had never heard her sister say such sour words, and it was rare to hear these words now, and Zhen Baolu also felt amazing.
In the past, her sister only liked to study, and she didn't seem to care about anyone else, but when she became a parent, she had some fireworks on her body.
Zhen Baolu looked at her sweet, happy and pregnant sister, and she herself married Xue Rang. That's great.
Β·
said that Song Yin and Wei Mingzhu came out of Jinyuxuan, and Wei Mingzhu had a calm face and was sullen.
No matter how stupid Song Yin is, she also knows that this second cousin likes her second brother. She thought for a moment and comforted, "Second cousin." You see now, my second brother and second sister-in-law are so affectionate, my second sister-in-law is pregnant with children, you should let go of it earlier. β
Song Yin pursed her lips and said, "In my opinion, second cousin, you are dignified and virtuous, and you are from a famous family, so there is no need to fall and die on the crooked neck tree of my second brother." β
Poof!
Wei Mingzhu, who was in a heavy mood, burst out laughing, looked at Song Yin with a smile on his eyebrows and said, "How can you talk about your brother like this?" β
Seeing that she finally smiled, Song Yin scratched her face embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you the truth." β
Wei Mingzhu glanced at the courtyard behind him and gradually smiled.
This Jin Yuxuan, she didn't know how many times she had been here since she was a child. Her second cousin has always liked the same, but since Zhen Baoqiong entered the door, she has come according to her preferences. She liked plum blossoms, so he planted red plums in the yard. The place where the plum tree was planted was originally planted with a jujube tree. When he was a child, when the dates were ripe, he climbed the tree to pick dates, and she stood below and carried them with her clothes...... How happy it was.
Wei Mingzhu's eyes were gloomy and he muttered, "Maybe...... You're right. "No matter how much she stalks and fights, she will only attract suspicion.

Anguo Mansion.
Today, Xue Rang went back to the house earlier, but he went back to Siheju and saw that his wife was not there, so he remembered that his wife went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to see her sister. For a while, Xue let his eyebrows be faint, and he went to change his clothes behind the screen, and when he thought of something, he ordered the little girl to find Xue Qian.
Xue Qian was weak, and his face was better than a few days ago. Now I heard that the eldest brother was looking for him, and I was also a little surprised, so I hurriedly changed my clothes and went to the study to see the eldest brother.
Xue Qian was born from a lowly maid. And the maid was originally serving in An Guogong's study, in this regard, the Wang family never relaxed, and the maids selected were all mediocre, docile and obedient. Unexpectedly, it was still a miscalculation, and An Guogong drank too much that time, so he broke the girl. And this maid was afraid, so she didn't tell the Wang family about it, and she didn't intend to be a roommate, thinking that this matter could be quietly hidden, but she was pregnant with a child.
Such an identity is destined to be taken lightly.
And this is the first time that Xue asked the eldest brother to call him over.
Xue Qian was a little apprehensive in his heart, and was led into the study by the little servant, and when he saw Xue Rang sitting behind the desk, he saluted respectfully and said, "Big brother." β
The young man's voice was clear and childish, and he was still a little male and female. Xue Rang let out a faint "um" when he heard it, but his big hand, which was well-proportioned, was still holding the pen and finishing the things at hand.
Xue Qian didn't look up, and stood there quietly.
He was dressed in a pale cyan round-necked robe, with a fair and clean face, and very delicate eyebrows and eyes.
waited until Xue Rang finally finished writing and put down the pen before he said, "I heard your sister-in-law say, you were sick in the rain that day?" β
Xue Qian was a little nervous: "Thank you big brother for your concern." My sister-in-law hired a doctor for me, and I have been much better after drinking the medicine. β
Xue said, "That's good." The events of that day ......"
"I was in a hurry that day, so I ran back when the rain was lighter." Xue Qian immediately said, his tone a little hurried.
Xue Rang raised his eyes and glanced at him. He was born thin and thin, much shorter than he had been when he was twelve. At first glance, he looks like a weak scholar who is powerless...... But she seems to appreciate it. Xue Rang frowned, his tone was a little colder, and said: "A manly man, he gets sick when he gets drenched in the rain, and his body is weaker than a little girl, and it's embarrassing to say it......"
Xue Qian's jade-like face was slightly crimson, obviously a little embarrassed, but he felt that what his eldest brother said was very reasonable.
Then I heard him say, "You are still young, and it is still too late to start exercising today." That's fine, you get up every day, run a few laps along the yard, an hour a day, and then read a book after running......" After a pause, he continued, "In a few days, I will ask a master to teach you kung fu, and you can't fall behind in horseback and archery." β
Xue Qian was stunned.
Seeing that he was silent, Xue Rang looked indifferent, and said, "What?" Afraid of getting tired? β
Xue Qian hurriedly said: "No ......" He was a little happy between his eyebrows, raised his eyes timidly, looked at the eldest brother in front of him with bright eyes, and said, "Thank you for your concern." β
Xue Rang snorted. I feel that with this kind of exercise, within a year, this Xue Qian will definitely not look like this weak scholar.
He handed him the rice paper he had written in his hand, and said, "This is the list I have drawn up for you, these books can be found in the library, there are a lot of them, but they are not harmful to you." If you read them all and know them by heart, there should be no problem with the entrance exam of Egret Academy next year. β
Xue Qian stepped forward, took it with both hands, and looked at the dense list on it, which was indeed too much for ordinary people, but he was an unforgettable one, and he didn't have too much pressure, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, big brother." β
Xue Rang has always been silent, and the family affection of a large family is weak, not to mention the cousin who is born to a maid. Xue Rang glanced at him lightly and said, "Okay, you can go back to study quickly." β
Xue Qian hurriedly nodded, looking down at the powerful words on the paper, his eyebrows were full of satisfied smiles. He stole a glance at the big brother's side face, then lowered his head, turned around and walked out.
"Wait."
Well?
When Xue Qian heard this, he hurriedly turned around and looked at Xue Rang, with doubts on his face, and muttered, "I don't know what else the eldest brother commands?" β
Xue Rang coughed lightly and said unhurriedly: "...... If there is nothing important on weekdays, try not to go to your sister-in-law. β
Xue Qian understood this.
He knew that this young sister-in-law was in charge of the middle feed of the house just after passing the door, and she was indeed too busy. For a while, Xue Qian also blamed himself a little, it was he who didn't think it through, and hurriedly said to his eldest brother: "Hmm." I will definitely not disturb my sister-in-law in the future. β
