Chapter 80: Pregnant
Zhou Xiya followed Li Mu to the most prosperous Guangcheng Street, which is about to celebrate the New Year, whether it is a poor person or a rich person, they will carry New Year's goods and spend this New Year well, so this Guangcheng Street is very lively, this is a shop gathering area, and there is a large flow of people every day.
The two walked casually, Zhou Xiya looked at the gadgets on the street, and would stop and take a look, "Do you think this pottery puppet is very similar to you?" Zhou Xiya picked up a gadget from a stall and asked Li Mu beside her.
"Like?" Li Mu looked at it, this pottery puppet was made according to the young man's dress, where did it look like him.
"I think it's like" Zhou Xiya pouted, starting to be quite unreasonable.
"Okay, okay, you say it's like, you see it's lonely, shouldn't you find a companion for it, this is good." Li Mu picked out a pottery puppet dressed as a lady from it.
However, he got a roll of the eyes from Zhou Xiya.
"This young lady really has a vision, this is the latest style of pottery puppet, you see how exquisite, it is the most suitable to play with it, and the one you take is a pair, put together a lot of matches, just like Miss and Childe." The vendor who bought the doll spoke dexterously.
"Yes, it's really good, I bought it." Li Mu happily paid for it, and gave a lot.
"Wronged head" Zhou Xiya took the pottery puppet in her hand and walked forward.
Li Mu chased after him, "This is not a big wrong, but I am willing to buy it if I have money, this doll is good, I put it away, you can keep that male doll, if you miss me, you can take it out and take a look, didn't you say that it looks like me?" Li Mu said very cheekily.
"Thick-skinned. Who wants to think of you, why didn't I find you so thick-skinned? Zhou Xiya felt that the memories of Li Mu in her previous life didn't seem to be true, and the current image of Li Mu was changeable, and it seemed that it was difficult to see which side was the real him.
"In the position of chasing your daughter-in-law, of course, you have to be thick-skinned, or I will chase you down." Li Mu smiled proudly.
"Virtue" Zhou Xiya felt that she had rolled her eyes too many times now, and she was speechless by this Li Mu's argument.
The two of them wandered around to the very center of Guangcheng Street, which was the widest part of the street, but at the moment it was full of people, and everyone was looking at the high platform with their necks tilted. I saw a man on the high platform cutting a stone. There was a very nervous person standing next to him, looking at the craftsman's hands, and there was a person who looked like a boss standing next to him.
"That's what you arranged?" Zhou Xiya looked at Li Mu beside her.
Li Mu nodded and asked the person who was watching here, "This little brother." Pls what's going on here. Why so many people? ”
"It's cutting jadeite. See, there are so many stones there, if anyone buys the stones can cut out jadeite. The boss above paid a lot of money to buy, just now there was a person who cut out the jadeite, the boss saw the color, and gave a hundred taels of silver? That's a hundred taels of silver, and the one who bought the stone only spent ten cents, and his luck is really good, you see, no one buys it again, and he wants to try his luck, and if he also cuts it out, I will also buy a piece to try his luck. As he spoke, the man craned his neck to look at the situation on the stage, his face also full of nervousness.
"Then little brother, do you know what jadeite is?" Li Mu asked.
"I know, I know, someone has explained it above, how many kinds of jadeite are there, I'm stupid, I can't remember too much, anyway, as long as the jadeite is cut, I'll ask them, anyway, they will accept it." The little brother said casually.
"The person above here won't be your trust, right, the first one to start the high price of one hundred taels?" Zhou Xiya asked quietly.
"Naturally, no matter how good the jadeite, it will not cost so much silver to buy, the first few are trusted, it is to use this momentum, I can attract more people, that pile of stones, has been cleaned up by me, the possibility of jadeite in it has been much smaller, plus I hired someone to buy these rough stones, and it will not really fall into the hands of people who want to buy it, so that I will not lose too much money, so I will play this advertisement." Li Mu did not shy away from saying his calculations, and this is how he arranged it.
"Profiteer" Zhou Xiya can only say this, although when she is doing business, she also calculates a lot, so that she can maximize her benefits, isn't it?
"No traitors, no businessmen, eldest miss, I have so many people under my hands, if I don't make profiteers, they won't have anything to eat." Li Mu began to pretend to be pitiful.
"I don't know if they'll run out of food, but you're not going to starve."
"Of course I can't starve, if I'm hungry, don't you feel distressed, won't you still have you to support me then?" Li Mu said ambiguously.
"Scoundrel" Zhou Xiya turned his head and ignored him, this villain, he really can't talk about him.
"I only rely on you," Li Mu smiled flatteringly.
"It's green...... It's green, ......" shouted the cutting craftsman who sprinkled some water on the stone.
"I'll take a look, I'll take a look" The person who bought it looked at it excitedly, "What kind of thing is this, it's a good material, come and see" Patronizing nervously, I forgot the details of the jade introduced by the boss before.
Zhou Xiya can already guess the next grand occasion without looking at it, and through the momentum of these two days, I believe that soon jadeite will be widely known.
"Why don't you want to see it?" Li Mu asked.
"It's all a bureau arranged by you, I'll see what else it means, let's go, let's go shopping somewhere else." Zhou Xiya lost interest.
"In that case, let's go to my house." Li Mu said.
"What are you going to do at your house, we just started, how can I go to your house." Zhou Xiya stomped her feet, a little embarrassed.
"Where do you want to go, not to the Li Mansion, but to my own home, I have already moved out of the Li Mansion, the house should not be cleaned up yet, can you help me." Li Mu began to pretend to be pitiful.
"How did you move out of your house and what happened?" Zhou Xiya frowned.
"It's nothing, I can do it myself, let's go, go and help me clean up the house, I guess there are still some furniture to buy, in order to make my life more comfortable, I have to work hard for you." Li Mu diverted the topic. stopped Zhou Xiya from squeezing through the crowd and leaving.
Zhou Xiya's life is sweet and sweet, but Zhou Xiwan's side is in dire straits, every day is like a year, early this morning, she went to the palace to wait for the three princes to appear, before she came again and again, but she didn't even see the shadow of the three princes.
"This little brother, you just let me in, even if I can't go in, you can tell me the whereabouts of the third prince." Zhou Xiwan can only bow her noble head now and beg for a little guy guarding the door. Desperately stuffing silver into his hands.
Former such a slave. She didn't even look at it, but after she left the Zhou family automatically, she found out that she had no protection as the daughter of the Zhou family. She's nothing. A little slave dared to make a face at her. But the more this is the case, the more she will not give up on the suffering she suffers today. In the future, she will repay her a hundredfold and a thousand times, so that those who laugh and bully her will taste what hell is called.
"Are you annoyed, why are you here again, didn't you tell you that the prince is not in the house, what kind of identity is the prince, you can see it if you want to see it?" The little guy was very impatient.
"I know, but I have something important to do with the prince on my waist, please tell me where the prince will appear, as long as I see the prince, don't worry, I won't forget you." Zhou Xiwan pleaded, and handed over another silver ingot.
"Where is the whereabouts of the prince can be known to us little shrimps, but now that the year is down, the prince doesn't need to go to court, now it should be a gathering with some of his wise men to drink and talk, as for where the prince will go, you have to guess for yourself, don't embarrass me, if the princess blames it, we can't afford it." The little servant pushed Zhou Xiwan out and closed the door.
"Bastard" Zhou Xiwan kicked the door hard and left hatefully.
The little guy said that it was equal to not saying it, the casino is so big, who knows where the three princes will go to the party with people, and she came early enough today, she didn't see the three princes go out at all, where is to meet friends, she is clearly perfunctory.
Depressed when she returned home, Zhou Jianxin gave her a small courtyard, she was too small, she didn't go to live, but lived in the house that Bai bought, but unfortunately there are not many people who can use Bai's now, let alone how many people are arranged for Zhou Xiwan, so the yard is deserted, and it is not easy to recruit people anymore, and it is convenient for newcomers to have old people.
"Daughter, where have you been, I've been here for a long time, and they said you went out." As soon as Zhou Xiwan returned home, the Bai family greeted her.
"Where else can I go" Zhou Xiwan sat on the chair, without a little energy, she had only been here for a few days, Zhou Xiwan had lost a lot of weight, her eyes were sunken, and her complexion was also very bad.
"I'm going to find the third prince, aren't you? Have you ever seen the three princes. Bai asked hurriedly.
"If I saw it, would I come back so embarrassed?" Zhou Xiwan said angrily.
"Girl, how are you good, the third prince clearly doesn't want to admit it, and now you have a falling out with your father, what can you do next." The Bai family is really worried about this daughter to death.
"I won't give up like this, I don't have anything left, I definitely can't lose the big tree of the third prince again, I will definitely not lose." Zhou Xiwan clenched her fists.
"Whatever you want, my mother can't control you, but look at your current appearance, how can you still have the appearance of the water and spirit before, it just so happens that my mother brought a fresh leg of mutton, and it will be stewed for you in a while, you don't like to eat mutton the most." Bai looked at his daughter distressedly.
When Bai mentioned the leg of mutton, Zhou Xiwan thought of the smell of mutton, and felt disgusting in her heart, covered her mouth and ran to the door quickly to retch.
"Wan'er, what's wrong with you, did you go out in the morning and get windy." Bai Shi hurriedly chased after him.
"I'm fine, I've been in a bad mood for the past two days, I've been like this, and I'll be fine in two days." Zhou Xiwan spit out the sour water, felt better, and returned to the house, her face was paler than before.
Bai didn't think so, looking at her daughter's appearance, she was a person from the past, and she knew about her daughter and the third prince, and she had calculated the time, it had been a month, so she directly picked up Zhou Xiwan's wrist, as the daughter of a medical family, not to mention much, whether the simple diagnosis was pregnant or not, it could still be seen.
After half a ring, Bai Shi put down Zhou Xiwan's wrist, sat on the side and laughed, "Wan'er, it's really an endless road, this time even God is on your side, you are pregnant." ”
"Really?" Zhou Xiwan stood up excitedly.
"Don't move, you are weak now, but don't get excited, now nothing is more expensive than this child in your belly, this is the emperor's grandson, the third prince does not have a son yet, if you fight and give birth to a son, this is the eldest son of the third prince, and you will survive your daughter." With a smile on Bai's face, is there anything more pleasing than this?
Zhou Xiwan touched her stomach and smiled very gently, this child is really timely, if there is no child, it is very difficult for her to enter the palace, but now that this child is here, it will be too easy, presumably the third prince will beg her to go to the palace.
"Mother, do you want to send someone to inform the third prince now?"
"Don't worry, first steady, anyway, this child is in your belly, I'm afraid that the third prince won't be able to come, wait until your belly is stable, and then go to the third prince, otherwise you just sat in the womb, if the third princess has any bad intentions, then it will be troublesome, we have to guard against it." Bai shook his head directly.
"I listen to my mother" Zhou Xiwan also put away her temperament and was obedient.
"I'll go to the kitchen to cook food for you, you should pay attention to your diet during this time, and you must raise this little prince well." Bai stood up happily.
"Mother, let's let Chef Huang do it, the food he cooks is delicious, I am very energetic when I eat it, you should talk to me." Zhou Xiwan stopped Bai, she was now uncomfortable if she didn't eat Chef Huang's food for a day, as if she was missing something.
"Okay, listen to you" Bai had no choice but to sit down, and the mother and daughter discussed the matter after that.
Zhou Xiya returned home and informed her at the door that the master was back and had been waiting for a long time.
"I still know when I come back, and I don't look at what time it is, it's getting dark." Zhou Jianxiong watched his daughter come in with a teacup and opened his mouth to teach a lesson.
"Dad, isn't there something wrong with me? So came back late, I promise, never again. Zhou Xiya hurriedly came over to curry favor with the guarantee.
"Don't take it as an example, don't think I don't know who you're looking for, my dad also came here when I was young, I know what you think, and I don't stop my superfluous father, but you have to pay attention to a degree, don't do things out of the ordinary, boys only take advantage, girls will suffer." Zhou Jianxiong reminded uneasily.
"Dad, is my daughter such a person who doesn't know how to measure? I know how to protect myself. Zhou Xiya stomped her feet in protest.
"I'm not worried about you, but I'm not worried about those bad boys outside, I just have time tomorrow, you let Li Mu come to sit at home, and I will meet him." Zhou Jianxiong patted his daughter's shoulder to inform.
"Dad, what are you doing with him?" Zhou Xiya looked at her father.
"What kind of eyes do you have, I can still eat him, it's really a girl outgoing." Zhou Jianxiong patted his daughter's head.
"Okay, I know, I will definitely call someone to your father tomorrow and let you interrogate him well, if he can't pass your level, then I won't marry him." Zhou Xiya hurriedly patted her ass.
"Don't, but don't, if that's the case, you won't want to get married for the rest of your life." Zhou Jianxiong smiled.
"Daddy ......" (To be continued......
