Chapter 247: Teaching
Early the next morning, Shen Qingli went to Muying Hall as usual to ask for peace.
Before she entered the door, she saw Mama Chu hurriedly coming out, and stepped forward to support her carefully: "Young lady, the roads in this courtyard are all paved with cobblestones, you must be careful." ā
"Thank you Mama for your concern, how many times have I been to this yard, it's okay." Shen Qingli couldn't cry or laugh, could it be that she was pregnant and couldn't even walk?
"It was before, it's now, you have to be careful in everything." Mama Chu reluctantly hugged her into the house, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Tai knew that the young lady was coming, and personally cooked and stewed black chicken soup for the young lady, and the young lady sat here and waited with peace of mind." ā
"Grandmother is really bothered, I've already eaten." Shen Qingli was a little flattered for a moment, she didn't expect that she would still have this treatment, and it was really because the mother and son were expensive.
"Mrs. Tai hasn't cooked for many years, I'm really happy this time, let her do it!" The smile on Mama Chu's face was even stronger, "Mrs. Tai was so happy that she didn't sleep well last night, the slave maid has not seen Mrs. Tai so happy for many years, and the young lady is really the lucky star of the Yongding Marquis Mansion!" ā
Shen Qingli just laughed.
There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard.
Then the curtain was lifted again.
The Su family and the Liu family walked in one after the other, and Shen Qingli hurriedly got up and greeted him: "Mother, second aunt." ā
Without waiting for Su Shi to speak, Liu Shi took the lead in stepping forward to support her, and said in a fuss: "Oh, Erlang daughter-in-law, you hurry up and sit down, you are pregnant now, but you are the most noble person in our Yongding Hou Mansion." In the future, these false gifts will be avoided. ā
"That's it, Erlang daughter-in-law, sit down quickly, your body is the most important thing right now." Su Shi took her hand with a smile on his face and said, "Your second aunt and I are here for this matter today, thinking about discussing with Mrs. Tai how we can celebrate this great event." ā
Shen Qingli: "......"
"Do you two have a good idea?" As he was talking, Huangfu walked in with a smile, and a little maid walked in with a bowl of steaming black chicken soup behind him, and carefully placed it in front of Shen Qingli. He said in a low voice: "Young lady, please use it." ā
Su Shi glanced at the bowl of soup. Quietly looking away, she was pregnant with two sons, and she didn't see her mother-in-law making a bowl of soup for her personally.
It can be seen that in the mother-in-law's mind. The heirs left behind by the main room are the most precious.
However, the Liu family smiled heartlessly: "Where is it discussed." It's just that the daughter-in-law and sister-in-law met on the road. Speaking of this, we all feel that such a big happy event should be celebrated. No, I just opened my mouth to discuss it with my mother-in-law! ā
The chicken soup in front of her exuded an attractive fragrance, this fragrance made Shen Qingli feel very pungent, calmed her appetite all night, and faintly churned, she had to push the soup bowl to the side, turned her head and whispered to Mama Chu: Mama, I can't eat it now, you can serve it first! ā
"The slave maid first put the stove on the young lady and let it be hot." Mama Chu retreated with chicken soup.
Huangfu asked with concern: "Li girl, if you are not feeling well, go to the back room to lie down for a while, and when you want to eat, grandmother will give you a new bowl of stew." ā
Su and Liu quietly glanced at each other, smiling with different expressions and no squeaks.
"Grandmother, I think I'd better go back and rest!" Shen Qingli got up and said, "I love the bed, and I can't sleep in a different place." This is true, she really couldn't sleep well in the flower hall for a few nights, so she had to change all the bedding that Wu Lijuan had been lying on before moving back.
"Then let Mama Chu accompany you to the back room to sit for a while, grandmother has something to say to you." Huangfu said kindly.
Shen Qingli had no choice but to comply, got up and went to the back room.
Mama Chu hurriedly followed behind to serve.
"How are you going to celebrate?" Huangfu turned around and asked again.
"Mother, we just held a tea party a few days ago, and then it's not appropriate to hold it again, my daughter-in-law thinks it's better to hold a flower viewing party or something in our house, and attract some popularity to the house." Liu's eyebrows suddenly brightened.
I have to say that the birth of Erlang's daughter-in-law is really a happy event for their second room, so that the rumor that Yongding Houfu Langjun is useless will be broken!
In this way, Mu Yunxuan and Mu Yunchao's family affairs will not be settled!
"Cherry blossom viewing party?" Huangfu glanced at Liu, "If you talk about flowers, there are more in my yard in the house, do you want messy people to come to my yard to enjoy flowers?" ā
"Of course not." Liu said curtly, "The daughter-in-law is just mentioning yƬ." ā
Su Shi pondered for a moment, and said: "Mother, everyone knows that our Hou Mansion used to be the palace of the first emperor, and everyone is full of curiosity about this place, but most of them don't have the opportunity to come in and have a look, so let's take this opportunity to hold a garden party and have a good time." ā
"Let's have a garden party!" Huangfu nodded without hesitation, looked at the concubine, and said, "As for what to do, you concubines and concubines will discuss it, and you don't have to be too extravagant, it's almost fine, I'm old, so I won't join in this fun." ā
"Mother rest assured, it's just a garden party, and it doesn't cost much money to clean the house inside and out, except for the food for the guests." Su Shi glanced at Liu's and said, "When it's time to pour, let the kitchen prepare well." ā
Liu Shi touched Su Shi's gaze, and said disapprerovitically: "Sister-in-law, how can we just clean up, we have to arrange it well, for example, we have to put a few boats there in Bishui Lake, and there are too few flowers and trees on the side of the ancestral hall, how can we move some flowers and trees over this time, and the outer walls of each courtyard or something, they all have to be repaired and repaired, we can't make people think that our Yongding Marquis Mansion is just a name, right?" ā
Just clean it up.
She had already seen through it, and the Su family just didn't want to spend money.
"Brother and sister, how much silver does it cost according to what you say!" Su Shi helped the hairpin ring between his sideburns, the corners of his mouth moved, and said, "You don't know the price of firewood and rice, because last time Erlang transferred troops without permission, he was fined for a year." And that Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing......" As she spoke, she looked at the Huangfu clan and took the opportunity to say, "That Zhuangzi can't grow rice now, and it is another expense to buy land, do you think the house is very rich now?" ā
Speaking of this, she felt a pang of displeasure in her heart.
On the surface, her mother-in-law doesn't care about the house, but she thinks that her mother-in-law is too lenient in housekeeping, so let's take the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing as an example. It's obviously a fertile field. But it was changed into a ranch by the Huangfu family, saying that it was prepared for raising children, which is calculated, the price of raising children is too great.
"Sue. You don't have to say it. I know that there are many places to use money in the house, and it is difficult for you, like this. I'll pay for the cost of this garden party, so you can discuss it and see how much money you will use, and then come to me and get it." "The Huangfu clan naturally heard the sound of the Su clan, didn't she even have the right to build a ranch?
Liu's overjoyed.
Anyway, it wasn't her who gave the money.
"Mother, daughter-in-law doesn't mean that." Su Shi said lukewarmly, "The daughter-in-law just said that the silver that can be saved is still better." ā
"Okay, don't say it again, no matter what you mean, anyway, since I said that the silver will come out of me, I will come out of it, go down and prepare!" The Huangfu clan was a little impatient.
Su wanted to say something, but seeing that Huangfu didn't have a smile on his face, he had to get up and retreat.
When I returned to the house, I couldn't help but complain to Mama Xu: "Mrs. Tai is becoming more and more unreasonable, while saying that she wants to save money, she also thinks that I am unwilling to spend money, and I also say that I will give money to hold a garden party. ā
"Madame doesn't need to be angry, since Madame Tai said that the silver will be paid by her, then she will pay it, anyway, there is no need to take the silver from the princess." Mama Xu persuaded, "Right now, we just hope that the eldest young master and the eldest young lady can reconcile as much as possible, and it is the right thing to conceive a child as soon as possible." ā
"Did Da Lang go back to his room last night?" Su Shi asked with a frown.
These days, Mu Yunche seems to have changed as a person, as soon as he came back from the yamen, he hid in the study and refused to come out, saying that he was painting with Huang Funuo recently.
Where is he the material for painting!
Probably just to please the prince.
It seems that this kid is more or less transparent.
"I went back, but the eldest young lady was angry and didn't let him in, and the eldest young master didn't say a word, and went directly to the study to sleep." Mama Xu sneered, "The matter of the little couple, they can solve it by themselves, so don't worry about it." ā
Su Shi's heart was troubled.
It's better not to come back!
If she doesn't come back, she just has a reason to stuff a room or something into Dalang's house to see how long the Xia family can last.
"Madam, the fifth young master and the fifth young grandmother have been good recently, I heard that they have to cross the water for several nights in a row, and the slave guesses that the fifth young grandmother may have a happy event soon!" Mama Chu smiled with crooked eyebrows.
"Let's hope so!" Su Shi smiled reluctantly.
On the big kang near the window.
Huangfu took Shen Qingli's hand and said with a smile: "Li girl, you are young, some things are inevitably not well considered, no matter what grandmother says, she is the most difficult person, not to mention anything else, just saying that this pregnancy and childbirth is a big difficulty, although you are just pregnant, but there are some things that cannot be guarded against." ā
Shen Qingli looked at the Huangfu clan in confusion.
Prevent what?
"Yesterday I told Erlang to let him sleep in the study." Huangfu said, his expression narrowed, and he simply said bluntly, "But I know that he didn't go to the study last night, Li girl, it's not that grandmother is nosy, but that you can't ......have sex with him at this time."
Speaking of this, the Huangfu clan also felt a little embarrassed.
Originally, she was going to let Mama Chu pass on these words on her behalf, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was better to be cautious by herself.
"Grandmother, we talked last night, and we didn't ......" Shen Qingli suddenly blushed, was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's not that the son of the world doesn't listen to his grandmother, but that I want the son of the world to stay with me." ā
I can't go on!
As a granddaughter-in-law, it is so embarrassing to report her sexual affairs to her mother-in-law......
"Li girl, if these things were put in the past, my grandmother would feel very pleased, but now it's different, now, everything is about the child, isn't it?" Huangfu said, patted her hand, and said, "I know that you are a reasonable and good boy, but I know Brother Yuan'er's temper too well, he is a mess, and he doesn't care about anything, so I promised my grandmother to let him go to sleep in the study, and when you have a child, let him move back." ā
It turned out that my grandmother persuaded them to separate!
But what if she doesn't want to sleep alone?
In the past few months, she has become accustomed to this person's arms and this person's company, and now she is really a little unacceptable to let her go back to the previous days.
Seeing that Shen Qingli was silent, the Huangfu clan continued: "Don't worry, I can't stuff him with any concubines or anything like that, if he wants to be a father, he naturally has to pay a price, I hope you can understand your grandmother's good intentions, I'm old, I have no face to say such things, you can't be indifferent, right?" ā
"I see." Shen Qingli had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"That's pretty much it." Huangfu smiled, "Your mother is discussing with your second aunt, and in a few days she will hold a garden party to celebrate, you see, if you still have any ideas, just tell your grandmother." ā
"Grandmother, I see that the fifth sister likes to paint very much, but there is no one to teach her, I used to be able to learn from her, but now when I smell the smell of those paints, I can't choke, so I hope my grandmother can agree to find a gentleman for the fifth sister and teach her well." Shen Qingli took the opportunity to say.
"If there is a suitable one, please come into the house, and I will pay for it." Huangfu agreed very happily, "You don't have to worry about your second aunt's irresponsible remarks, when the time comes, I will say that I am going to invite the gentleman of Wuniang." ā
"It's still grandmother who thinks about it." Shen Qingli smiled faintly.
Night.
Mu Yunting rushed back to the house, and when he saw that Shen Qingli had already fallen asleep, he sat lightly on the edge of the bed and took off his shoes, thinking of the Huangfu clan's instructions, Shen Qingli had no choice but to speak: "Shizi, you, you better go to the study and sleep!" ā
"What's wrong?" Mu Yunting looked back at her and asked, "Did grandmother tell you something?" ā
"No, it's because you're here, I haven't slept well for the past two days." Shen Qingli said, his heart was sour.
"You didn't sleep well?" Mu Yunting smiled a little, "But why do I think you have been sleeping more soundly than me?" ā
I really envy her sleep!
"I really didn't sleep well." Shen Qingli lowered his eyes and said, "You can go to the study and sleep for a few days first!" ā
"But I want to be with you and the child." Mu Yunting leaned over to look at her and said softly, "I've been thinking about you and the child all day outside, and I don't want to go to the study to sleep." ā
"Shizi ......" Shen Qingli threw himself into his arms and muttered, "Actually, in fact, this is what grandmother meant, we can't turn a blind eye to her words, right?" (To be continued......)
