Zhixia and Ruixue were about to fall asleep, and finally heard the sound of the door being pushed open. The two maids were in good spirits, greeted them with a smile, and opened their mouths in unison to say:

"Miss, the bathing water is ready......"

"Miss, it's not too early, it's time to go back to Hefeng Temple......"

Ye Qingning instructed lightly: "The tenth sister will stay here tonight and will not return to the Hefeng Courtyard." Zhixia, you send a maid to the Hefeng Courtyard to say something, so that they don't have to wait. ”

Zhixia and Ruixue were stunned. Zhixia, in particular, couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help but ask a very stupid question: "Miss, what did you say?" ”

Ye Qingning's young lady lost her temper again, and glared at Zhixia impatiently: "Isn't what I said clear enough?" ”

Zhixia dared to talk more, and hurriedly arranged it.

After bathing, Ye Qinglan put on the snow-white middle coat that Ye Qingning specially ordered someone to send. I don't know what kind of clothing is made of, it is thin and soft, and it is very comfortable to wear.

Ye Qingning also wore the same style of white middle coat, sitting in front of the dressing mirror and letting the maid dry her hair. A sandalwood incense was lit in the room, and the faint aroma soon spread throughout the room.

Ye Qinglan was actually very tired, but seeing that Ye Qingning was going to talk at night, she had to cheer up and accompany her.

The girl who has not been out of the cabinet, in fact, lives a very boring and monotonous life, stays in the house every day, and always comes and goes in contact with those few people. The daily pastime is to read, write, play the piano, paint, embroider female red, etc., and it is difficult to get out of the house several times a year. After deciding on a family affair, there are fewer opportunities to go out.

After getting married, you don't want to be free. I have to serve my in-laws and husbands, and I have to manage the maids and mothers-in-law to take care of a bunch of trivial things, and I have to have children, plus deal with a bunch of concubines......

When I think of this. Ye Qingning let out a long sigh.

Ye Qinglan smiled and quipped: "What's the matter, are you in a hurry to get married?" ”

Ye Qingning glanced at her: "Don't come to make fun of me, I don't want to get married!" Just look at the sister-in-law, being a daughter-in-law is not the same as a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet. Obviously very bitter in my heart. You have to force a smile and pretend to be nothing. Although I am not close to her, every time I see her like that, I feel that it is not a good taste. ”

At the mention of Cui Wan, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but ask with concern: "How is Aunt Cui, who is the new one?" ”

Ye Qingning shrugged casually: "It's quite peaceful to look at." Every day, in addition to saying goodbye to my mother. Basically stay in Qinfang Garden. "As Cui Jing's concubine, she is not qualified to go to Changhetang every day to ask for peace to the Jiang family.

"In your opinion, does my cousin like this new Aunt Cui?"

Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment before responding: "I can't say this either." Anyway. The eldest brother has been staying in her house these days. "Na Cuijing passed the door, just to inherit the heir. It is reasonable for Ye Yuanwei to be close to her. However, I can't see that she is particularly good.

Except for Cui Jing. There are also more opportunities for two maids to sleep in the room. Cui Wan is the wife. But silently stepped aside. In the past, although there were also maids in the room, they all had to drink shunzi soup. Occasionally sleep for a night or two, just endure it. But now, Cui Jing is a noble concubine sent by Cui's mansion, and her identity is naturally different from that of a maid in a room.

When Ye Qinglan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh lightly. No wonder there is always a trace of loneliness and loneliness in Cui Wan's eyes. What woman wants to watch her husband sleep next to another woman every day?

Speaking of Cui Wan, the two sighed for a long time. I was not in the mood to speak.

"It's night, let's sleep!" Ye Qingning said sullenly.

Ye Qinglan responded. After a tiring day, although I was full of worries, I quickly fell asleep.

Ye Qingning had never slept in the same bed with a girl of the same age, and he thought he would toss and turn and couldn't sleep. I never thought that this night would be a very sweet and solid sleep.

The next morning, the sun was warm, shining brightly in the room.

Ye Qingning opened her eyes lazily, and when she saw the sweet and pretty face sleeping nearby, she was startled at first, and then remembered that she took the initiative to invite Ye Qinglan to sleep in her room last night.

This kind of companionship is not bad! Ye Qingning thought quietly, and the corners of his lips curled slightly. At this moment, Ye Qinglan also opened her sleepy eyes, rubbed her eyes childishly, and yawned again.

I am used to seeing Ye Qinglan's calm, self-controlled and gentle appearance on weekdays, and it is really interesting to see such a childish and cute side at first glance.

Ye Qingning had a rare heart to promote narrowness, and stretched out his hand to pinch Ye Qinglan's cheek: "You finally woke up." Sleeps like a piglet. ”

Ye Qinglan blinked her eyes wide, completely awake, and responded with a smile: "I was tired all day yesterday, and I didn't sleep until midnight at night, so it's strange not to be sleepy." ”

The beautiful and quiet morning began with laughter.

Ye Qingning was used to having breakfast with the Zheng family, so after picking up, he took Ye Qinglan to Luomei Courtyard together. Zheng was well prepared, and the table was filled with all kinds of pastries and delicate side dishes. Most of them are Ye Qingning's favorite food.

"Sister Lan, I don't know what you like to eat, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some as usual." Zheng smiled politely.

Ye Qinglan was naturally interested, and responded with a smile: "Aunt don't be polite, I'm not a picky eater, I love to eat these." "Whether you are picky or not depends on whether you have this condition. If someone spoiled her so much, she might be even more picky than Ye Qingning.

Coincidentally, just after breakfast, Cui Wan and Ye Yuanwei and his wife came. came with her, as well as the new aunt Cui Jing.

Ye Qinglan's gaze naturally fell on Cui Jing's body.

The day after Cui Jing passed the door, she went to the Dingguo Mansion, and today is the second meeting between the two.

Compared with the shyness and crampedness of entering the door at the beginning, Cui Jing now seemed much calmer, and nodded at Ye Qinglan with a smile. didn't say much, standing silently behind Cui Wan, without exceeding the rules at all. Even if you look at it with a critical eye, you can't find any shortcomings.

Anyway, Cui Jing is much stronger than that Jiang Ying in all aspects.

Ye Yuanwei asked Zheng for peace, and then went to the yamen on an errand. Ye Chengren also left, and there were a bunch of female dependents left in the house.

Zheng looked at Cui Jing and asked implicitly, "Aunt Cui, it's been more than a month since you passed the door." Will this month's letter be on time? "Asking Yuexin is actually asking if you are pregnant. If Cui Jing was pregnant as soon as she entered the door, it would be an out-and-out joy to enter the door.

Cui Jing's face turned slightly red, and she replied in a low voice: "Yuexin is indeed a few days late. However, there have been before. The concubine is not sure ......"

Cui Wan's smile paused. From the day Cui Jing passed through the door, she was ready to wait for this day to come. I really didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.

She felt both sour and relieved in her heart, and there were more of them, but she was at a loss. All kinds of flavors are mixed together, and they are mixed into a complex and difficult feeling. She didn't even know what to say, her mind went blank.

Ye Qinglan was also quite surprised, and looked at Ye Qingning. This good news came so quickly! I really don't know whether to praise Ye Yuanwei for his diligence in "sowing seeds", or to sigh Cui Jing's luck.

Zheng asked casually, but he didn't have much hope. I never expected to get good news, and my eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? That's great. As he spoke, he glanced at Cui Wan with disgust: "Such good news, why don't you tell me in advance." ”

Cui Wan explained helplessly: "I also found out just now." ”

"Please don't blame the young grandmother, Mrs." Cui Jing blushed and spoke for Cui Wan: "I'm not sure if I'm pregnant, so I didn't tell Grandma Sù." I'm just afraid that my wife and young grandmother will be happy! ”

Zheng is in a good mood about this, where is the accounting more important: "Okay, don't talk about this." You should take good care of yourself first, and in a few days, you will have to ask a doctor to come and check your pulse. As he spoke, he instructed Cui Wan: "Cui's, you have to take good care of her these days, don't let Yuan Wei stay in her house." Let Chun Tao and Cai Lu serve his daily life. ”

Cui Wan respectfully agreed.

Ye Qinglan watched from the side, really feeling aggrieved for Cui Wan. It's just that you have to take care of your husband's daughter, and your husband's wife is pregnant, so she has to take care of it too. By the way, other women are arranged to serve their husbands' pillows.

What kind of life is this?

Of course, this lack of resentment and sympathy can only be pressed in the bottom of my heart, but at this time, I can't reveal half of it.

Zheng kindly comforted Cui Jing again, and then let Cui Jing go back to rest first. Then he said to Cui Wan: "Cui's, if she is really pregnant, it will be a good thing for you." As long as Yuanwei has an heir, you are a mother-in-law. You just have to be your young grandmother safely, and no one can take your place. ”

No matter how sincere Zheng's words are, it can be regarded as appeasing Cui Wan.

Cui Wan hurriedly smiled and responded: "I don't need my mother-in-law to say this, my daughter-in-law knows it in her heart." Please rest assured that your daughter-in-law will take good care of her. There will never be a half-point difference. ”

Zheng smiled quietly: "You have always done things properly, I am naturally relieved." ”

The latter woman has a lot of selfish methods, and it is not difficult to get rid of an unformed fetus. Although Cui Wan is usually quiet and gentle, she is not the kind of ruthless woman. It's hard to guarantee that you won't have any thoughts because of jealousy. What she said just now was not only a reassuring but also a reminder, but also a warning.

Cui Wan is also smart, and quickly understood what she meant, and immediately made a guarantee. This attitude finally satisfied her.

Cui Wan saw the look of satisfaction in Zheng's eyes, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Such news naturally spreads quickly. In less than a day, the news that Aunt Cui might be pregnant spread all over Changyuanbo's mansion.
