After living in Zhuangzi for many days, and then returning to the city, there was a feeling of being in a different world.

The sun is just out at this time, and it is the busiest time for the morning market. The road is lined with stalls, and the sound of shouting and selling is endless.

The air is filled with the fragrance of steamed rice porridge, which dispels a lot of the chill of this winter morning.

Jian Ying only drank a cup of bird's nest porridge when she got up early, and when she smelled the smell, she felt a little hungry, so she asked someone to buy a bag of steamed buns and eat them with Yuan Fang and Xiao Ji.

After a while, hearing someone gently knocking on the carriage outside, Yuan Fang opened the curtain, and before he could ask questions, there were meat roasted, braised eggs, mille-feuille cakes, and scallion pancakes all kinds of food were handed in one after another.

Yuan Fang was a little at a loss, "This ...... Where did this come from? ”

"The second young master ordered me to buy it." Cuifeng's laughing voice came from outside the car, "What else does the second young lady want to eat, just give orders, and the villain will buy it immediately." ”

Jian Ying rolled her eyes unappreciatively, "What about feeding the pigs?" ”

Xiao Ji took out a red seal and handed it to Cuifeng, sent the person away, and said with a joking smile: "The second young master is really good to the second young lady for a while. ”

Jian Ying snorted twice, and said in her heart, can it be bad? The peacock courtship has to open the next screen.

I rummaged through the pile of food, and took a fancy to the rainbow-like hair cake, so I asked Xiao Ji to cut off a piece and wrap it in dried lotus leaves and eat it slowly. When he entered the palace, he was full.

Because the carriage was loaded with a lot of things, and it did not bother to change the sedan chair, the carriage entered the palace from the west gate, and drove straight to the door of the hanging flower and stopped.

Jian Ying got out of the car and saw Jinping and Fang's mother, Zhang's mother and others waiting there together. When they saw the salute, they smiled and said, "It's a cold day, what are you doing here?" Could it be that I lived outside for a few days and became an outsider? ”

"It's because I'm not an outsider that I have to come to greet you." Mother Zhang picked up the conversation with a smile, "Second young lady, don't you know, the princess is talking about you every day these days." Say that if you are not there, the whole house will be deserted.

If you don't get up early this morning, you will tell your slaves and maidservants to come and wait for you. ”

"I miss my mother too." Jian Ying exchanged a few words with her, and then turned to her mother, "Aunt Su and the child are okay?" ”

Fang's mother nodded busily, "Okay, it's just that Duba is looking forward to the second young lady coming back." ”

"I said hello to my mother, and I went to see them." Jian Ying said, and smiled at Jin Ping, "You've worked hard these days." ”

"It's not hard, it's good that the second young lady comes back." Jin Ping smiled and blessed his body.

When Zhou Qin came over and said hello again, Jian Ying asked the others to go back first, and took Xueqin and Yinping to Jingguo Courtyard with things in their hands.

When I met with Fang's family, I naturally exchanged greetings and greetings.

After not seeing each other for many days, Fang's body has plumped a lot, and his belly has become bigger, but his complexion is excellent. Without powder, the skin is still smooth and tender, white and red, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are enveloped with the unique happiness of the expectant mother.

Holding Jian Ying's hand and looking at her carefully, he saw the few scars on her face that were so faint that they were almost invisible, and he sighed, "I didn't expect you to go out on my behalf and make you suffer so much."

Fortunately, you're fine, otherwise how would I be happy? ”

"Mother, don't say that, this is my calamity, I will encounter it sooner or later, and it will be okay if it passes." Jian Ying pretended to smile lightly, "Look, aren't I alive again?" ”

Fang Shi smiled and nodded, "I knew that you were a blessed person, since you were alive and kicking, then Sister Xin'er's full moon banquet, as well as the purchase of New Year's goods and the preparation of the banquet, will be handed over to you."

I'm heavy, I'm lazy every day, I'm waiting to catch someone on an errand, it's really time for you to come back. ”

Jian Ying couldn't beg, "No problem, just call me." ”

After laughing for a while, he distributed the jewelry he brought back to everyone. The most valuable items are naturally for the Fang family, Meng Xinniang, Zhou Xi, Concubine Bai, Concubine Wenshu, and Concubine Qi also have a share, and even Zhang Ma, Peiyu and Lianzhu each got the same.

Everyone just took something to thank them, and no one asked about the origin.

She returned to the Blue Courtyard with her front foot, and Fang's family, Meng Xinniang, Concubine Bai and Concubine Wen sent someone to send a return gift on the back foot, only Concubine Qi did not move.

Zhou Qin knew that he was so angry that he hurriedly selected two good ingredients from his dowry and asked someone to send them in the name of Concubine Qi.

Jian Ying changed her clothes here, and was about to go to Tianshui Pavilion for a walk, when she heard a report that Fang's mother had come over with the little lady to ask for peace, so she ordered someone to be invited directly to the inner room.

Fang's mother was about to bow down when she entered the door, but Jian Ying hurriedly stopped her, "Excuse me, don't bump the child, come over and show me." ”

"Yes." The mother agreed and carefully handed over the thickly wrapped child.

Jian Ying held her hands firmly before she lowered her head to take a closer look.

The little girl has already begun to grow milk fat, and her cheeks are fleshy. The eyebrows are light, the nose is high, the mouth is small, and the face has a layer of fine and soft hair, and the small appearance is very cute.

I gently touched her little face with my fingers, and my heart was soft, and suddenly I thought that I could give birth to such a soft little thing.

The thought that giving birth to a child would be bloody, and that he might lose his life, quickly suppressed this thought.

I hugged it for a while, and told Xueqin to take out the golden lock that had been made in advance. I didn't dare to wear that heavy thing for such a young child, so I handed it over to my mother to keep it.

Jian Ying has lived outside for so many days, and Fang's mother also muttered in her heart, lest she would not be able to tolerate Su Xiulian's mother and daughter, so she rushed to bring the child over to say goodbye regardless of the cold. At this time, seeing that she seemed to love this child very much, half of her heart was lowered, and the other half was still hanging.

After hesitating a few times, he finally couldn't help but speak, "Second Young Lady, Little Miss is the first daughter of the Second Young Master, and it stands to reason that she should be held by your side and raised."

It's just that Aunt Su hurt her vitality when she gave birth, and her body has not been very good. If I take the little lady away from her at this time, I'm afraid that ......"

"Mom." Jian Ying looked at the child and interrupted her without raising her head, "I never said that I would snatch Aunt Su's child, you are too worried." ”

Fang's mother blushed, and hurriedly explained: "Second young lady, I didn't mean that......"

As soon as she was in a hurry, her voice became louder, and Sister Xin woke up from the noise, but she didn't cry, and stared at Jian Ying's clothes with her dark eyes.

Jian Ying hugged her and shook her twice, and then laughed and teased her, "A child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a grass, of course our sister Xin has to grow up next to her mother, isn't it?" ”

The little girl seemed to understand, and mumbled a vague "babble" in her mouth.

Jiang's mother didn't know whether she was talking right or back, and was in doubt, so she heard the voices of the girls greeting the "second young master" outside the door. Immediately, as if he had a backbone, he straightened his waist.
