Since there were two more precious pregnant women in Chengfu, Cheng Qingye changed his romantic habit of sleeping in flowers and willows in the past, and no longer went out to look for flowers and willows every night, and took turns to accompany Cheng Zhang's and the third aunt on a single and double day. After the third aunt had an unfortunate miscarriage, Cheng Qingye lost his temper, although he was reluctant, he gritted his teeth and sent the ninth aunt. Aunt Xuelian, the ninth aunt who was hit by the board, disappeared mysteriously, and someone was found drowning in the water tank near the wing room behind Yilan Garden. Cheng Qingye knew that the person was not the ninth aunt, but he was still buried as the ninth aunt, and even issued a gag order.

The third aunt had no children, and Cheng Qingye became more and more cautious about the only remaining piece of gold bump, and the future son in Cheng Zhang's belly. On weekdays, at most, I take time to go to Yilan Garden during the day to see the third aunt who is still recuperating, and the rest of the time I almost never leave Cheng Zhang's family. At most, it was Cheng Zhang's nap and hurried back to the study to deal with things. At night, I will definitely appear in the upper room of the main courtyard and accompany Cheng Zhang's (future son) to sleep.

Cheng Qingye was so nervous that Cheng Zhang, who was very happy at first, couldn't say what he was suffering. Who made Cheng Zhang's not pregnant.

Although Cheng Zhang has given birth before, he also knows some of the symptoms in the early and middle stages of pregnancy and even when he is about to give birth. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Cheng Zhang's is not clear, there is still an experienced old woman like Mama Ding by her side. So with a small cotton pillow and a basket tied to the belly to pretend to be pregnant, Cheng Zhang's also felt nothing.

It's just that Cheng Qingye revolves around her all day long, as the saying goes, there are always exceptions to everything, and if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if.

It's not. It didn't take long for Cheng Zhang's to eat the seasoned white mushrooms sent by Li Junran, and this person felt very tired. Back in the inner room, after disposing of the self-made smart incense, Cheng Zhang's changed into a more comfortable bedclothes, freshened up a little, and went directly to bed to rest.

Cheng Zhang originally wanted to take a nap, but he never wanted to fall asleep next to the pillow, and he slept so sweetly. Even Ding Xiang and the others, who should have been alert, dozed off soon because they ate some mushrooms with Cheng Zhang's family. It is not even clear when Cheng Qingye, who went out to visit friends, will return to the main courtyard to go to the house.

To say that it is also Cheng Zhang's luck. Cheng Qingye, who drank some wine and was slightly drunk, saw that Cheng Zhang's sleep so sweetly. I thought about taking a nap with my wife and son in my arms, but I was afraid that I would smoke Cheng Zhang's and his son with the smell of alcohol, so I didn't wake anyone up and hurriedly returned to the upper room of the main courtyard. I hurried back to the study in the front yard.

Cheng Zhang didn't know. His husband, Jun Cheng Qingye, once came back. I don't know if it weren't for Cheng Qingye's thoughtfulness for a while, he took a step earlier, and if he stayed for a while. will be because she turned over to reveal a small cotton pillow, and the fake pregnancy leaked the filling.

Cheng Zhang, who slept beautifully, was in a very good mood. Early the next morning, he asked Mu Xiang to send a sachet to Li Junran, and the sachet was surrounded by auspicious ruyi patterns, and the word "Ji" was embroidered with a big red silk thread on one side, and a few small plum blossoms were embroidered on the other side. The small sachet was bulging, with a long tassel, and a pair of small whitebait hanging from the tassel. It is considered a meritorious reward for offering fresh mushrooms in winter.

Don't look at the sachet is not big, the small whitebait weighs five or six dollars each, whether the embroidery on the sachet or the small whitebait is very exquisite. Every time Cheng Zhang's rewards his subordinates, he does not directly reward silver taels, most of the time he rewards these small plays. Speaking of which, this kind of reward is very popular among the upper class and nobles, and this is the first thing that Princess Zhaorui came up with in the previous dynasty.

"Qiliu, this is Madame's reward for you." Early in the morning, Li Junran had just finished a simple breakfast, and just returned to the needlework room, ready to continue sewing winter clothes, Mu Xiang came to her with a tray. After seeing Li Junran, Mu Xiang didn't say much, and directly lifted the brocade covered on the tray, revealing the sachet inside.

"What a delicate sachet." Mother Jin on the side saw the sachet, her eyes were straight, and she saw Li Junran looking at the sachet with a dull expression, but the person was stupidly stunned and motionless, so she couldn't help but urge.

"Qiliu, you stupid girl, why don't you hurry up and accept it?"

It's no wonder that Kim's mother reacted like this. Just those two little whitebait should add up to one or two pounds. Of course, it can't be counted that way. The apocalypse dynasty is still very expensive to create those gold ornaments, especially those small and exquisite. Therefore, the value of these two small whitebait fish is at least two taels of silver. What's more, the exquisite embroidery of the sachet. The most important point is that this is still a reward from Cheng Zhang's family, and that grace can't be bought with any amount of silver.

Li Junran raised her eyes without a trace and glanced at Mother Jin on the side, and couldn't help sneering in her heart. When she saw the bottle of Menglian poison in the belly of the Maitreya Buddha before, she was still hesitant to calculate. As a result, it hasn't been a day yet, so she made her choose so quickly, I really don't know whether to sigh that I will have this catastrophe, or sigh that Cheng Zhang's mother-in-law, who always drags the hind legs of Miss Chengfu, is too uncomposed.

"Lady Qiliu Xie rewards." Li Junran took a few steps forward and did not directly pick up the sachet, but took the tray in its entirety.

Mu Xiang didn't know that the sachet was manipulated, and when he saw that Li Junran had received the reward, he didn't stay in the needlework room for long, so he turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, only Mother Jin and Li Junran were left in the room. As for the female workers and maids who rushed to make winter clothes with Li Junran before, they were next door at this time, although they all pricked up their ears, but they didn't dare to step forward because of the majesty of Mother Jin.

"Seven willow girls, Madame's reward is not something that everyone can get." Mother Kim's eyes rolled, and the calculation was not disguised at all.

Li Junran nodded, and said very cooperatively: "Qiliu knows. ”

"Seven girls, you also know that the stupid son of the old woman should marry a new daughter-in-law after the New Year this year. Now, although the old woman is not short of any silver, she has to say a decent little gift in her hand......"

Although Jin's mother's words were not finished, Li Junran understood it. On the second day of the wedding, the new daughter-in-law will give tea to her parents-in-law and give her mother-in-law shoes. When the mother-in-law drinks this cup of tea that the new daughter-in-law respects, she will give a red envelope, pay attention to some and then attach a gift. The good-faced mother Jin is not short of silver, so she wants to give a more special return gift. Now the sachet that Cheng Zhang rewarded Li Junran undoubtedly entered the eyes of Mother Jin.

But......

At this moment, Li Junran hesitated, this kind of thing that harms people's lives still can't be done.

Mother Jin also saw Li Junran's hesitation, and said to herself: "The old woman also knows that Qiliu girl is saving money and wants to get rid of slavery and go home." The old woman doesn't want your ...... in vain."

"Mom Kim, this is ...... Is it good to slow down for a few days? Li Junran secretly communicated with his fat mouse, and after making sure that the hot spring water in the manor could solve the poison of the "dream lotus", he slowly used Cheng Zhang's as a shield, "It's not that Qiliu is unwilling, but if she lets Mrs. know, the sachet she gave will be sold to Mother Jin, I'm afraid it will make Mrs. unhappy." ”

"It's such a reason, and it's also the old woman who is anxious...... "Those who can climb to the level of the housekeeper's mother will naturally not understand the sophistication of human feelings." When Mother Jin saw Li Junran say this, she nodded again and again, "In the end, the little girl is clever." Then we'll be decided, and in a few days, don't forget about you, you stupid girl. ”

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Li Junran hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No."

Mother Jin, who was in a good mood, immediately gave Li Junran a grace and reduced the work of making eight winter coats a day to the original five. In this regard, Li Junran naturally would not refuse stupidly, but reminded himself in his heart that he had to let the Li family come to Chengfu as soon as possible and get rid of his slave status as soon as possible.
