Nalan Jinxiu has already returned to Jinyuan here, and she thinks that Dong Qiaoqing just now is a little strange. She looked at her eyes, full of disgust and resentment, although only for a moment, she could see clearly.

She and Dong Qiaoqing have never known each other in their lives, and she will not hate her for no reason. Moreover, Ning Yanqi has always been unkind to her, and the third brother said that if he left her in the house, he was casting a long line to catch big fish.

The person who got involved with Ning Yanqi was not the third brother's political enemy, and he would definitely not be a friend. What exactly do they want to do, and will it threaten the safety of the house?

"Ruyi, hasn't the third master come back yet?" Nalan Jinxiu felt that it was necessary for him to talk to the third brother.

"The slave has been watching in the study in the front yard, if the third master comes back, someone will definitely come to pass it. ”

Before Ji Hongye left today, he said that he would come back early and take her to the Red Leaf Temple to offer incense. She knew that Shangxiang was just an excuse, and the third brother saw her alone in the house, so she made an appointment with Sun Wenjie and his wife and wanted to have a small get-together.

Nalan Jinxiu could only sit on the big kang near the window again, and continued to sew the child's belly pocket by herself. She felt that she owed something to the Ming, so this time, she must do more for the child.

Ruyi also took out her own sewing basket, and she made a pair of small shoes. When choosing the fabric at that time, Nalan Jinxiu chose the baby pink one, and she felt that she would definitely give birth to a girl in this baby.

Ruyi thinks it's better to be a boy because boys are valued. But I think of the aristocracy, in order to compete for status, inheritance, and to be the head of the family, there are many fratricidal.

Thinking about it this way, she also felt that it would be wonderful if Madame could give birth to a girl. The third master is a scholar, educated, and will not favor sons over daughters, otherwise it would be impossible to spoil Mrs. so much.

If you can give birth to a girl, it will be the eldest daughter of the third master, and the dignity naturally does not need to be said, and the possibility of fratricide is avoided. And the most important point is that a daughter and a son add up to a good word, and both children are the longest blessings.

When Ji Hongye came back, Nalan Jinxiu was still struggling with the little belly pocket in his hand. She embroidered very carefully with each stitch, and each stitch contained infinite love.

Ruyi is not as serious as what she does, and she knows it as soon as Ji Hongye enters the house. She hurriedly stood up and saluted, and just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Ji Hongye, and waved her hand to go down.

The third master and his wife have a good relationship, and they have always been the most tired, of course Ruyi can't stay here to be an eyesore, so he packed up his sewing basket and went down.

Ji Hongye looked at Nalan Jinxiu on the side for a while, and found that she was still embroidering seriously, thinking that if he didn't make a sound, she might not be able to find out that he came back for a long time.

He stretched out his hand and snatched the belly pocket from Nalan Jinxiu's hand, and said softly: "You don't keep doing needlework, how can it be good to hurt your eyes?"

When Nalan Jinxiu saw that he was back, he smiled: "I didn't do it all the time, and you came back after a while." There's still a small piece to be embroidered, can you give it back to me first?"

Ji Hongye felt that he didn't have a small belly pocket that she valued, so he took the belly pocket and looked at it carefully, and found that the embroidered pattern this time was a baby play lotus pattern, which was very lively.

"Why don't you embroider bamboo?" he remembered that she liked the green bamboo patterns the most, especially the bamboo he painted.

"Qingzhu is good, but how can there be this vividness!" Nalan Jinxiu's embroidery workers today have improved a lot compared with the past, but they are not good, and many ground feet are still not delicate enough.

In normal times, she would feel that she had made great progress, and she would be complacent when she couldn't see what she embroidered. But now that she was being watched so carefully by her third brother, she was a little embarrassed.

She stretched out her hand to take her belly pocket back, but because of the height difference, she didn't dare to move too much because she was pregnant, so she naturally didn't snatch it back.

Her eyes looked at Shang Ji Hongye with a slight smile, and she felt a little panicked for a while. She sat on the kang angrily, her cheeks bulging like a bun, and said, "Take it if you like, and you can embroider the rest for me." ”

Ji Hongye raised his eyebrows, his little wife's temper was getting bigger and bigger, he just teased her casually, and she began to sulk by herself.

He sighed, sat down beside Nalan Jinxiu, stuffed the little red belly pocket in his hand into her hand, and said helplessly: "Now it's getting more and more petty, but I just teased you, I'm really angry." ”

Nalan Jinxiu picked up the small belly pocket and continued to embroider, looking beautiful and gentle, and the same as the angry appearance just now, it was like two people.

Ji Hongye found that she really changed her face faster than the sky. He originally came back to take her out, but when he saw that she really didn't have much left, he left her embroidery.

Nalan Jinxiu put away her little belly pocket and said to Ji Hongye with a smile: "I have something to say to the third brother." ”

Ji Hongye went to the closet to find her cloak and put it on her. Then he lowered his head and looked at her, and his voice was very soft: "If you have anything to ask, just take advantage of this moment to say it!"

Nalan Jinxiu just had something to say to him, but now, he didn't know where to speak. She is a person who doesn't like other women very much, and in front of the third brother. Especially that woman, she is still eyeing the third brother.

"What, I don't want to talk about it now?" Ji Hongye looked at her tangled appearance and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Of course not, I just have to think about how to speak. Nalan Jinxiu thought about it left and right, but couldn't find a suitable entry point.

Ji Hongye sighed: "Between you and me, is there anything else that is difficult to speak?"

Nalan Jinxiu thought about it, they were husband and wife, she shouldn't think about it so much. So she said, "I saw Ning Yanqi today. ”

"Huh?"

She also had a woman by her side, surnamed Dong. ”

Ji Hongye saw that she was squeezing out word by word when she spoke, and couldn't help but say again: "What do you think in your heart, just say it, don't swallow it." ”

"I always felt that the woman surnamed Dong was kind to me, but I can't tell how she was unkind, because I have never met her. ”

Ji Hongye knows that she is not a character who likes to live right and wrong, and it is impossible for her to wronged people for no reason. When he saw that she was hesitating, he knew that this matter had become an obstacle in her heart.

She can't have a knot now, otherwise she will probably hurt the fetus. He took her hand and walked out, comforting softly: "I know about this matter, I will ask someone to check the identity of the woman tomorrow, and I think there will be an answer soon." ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, and neither of them mentioned this matter after that. But in the middle of the night, Nalan Jinxiu had a dream, in which she was chased by an evil ghost.

She knew that the thing behind her was here to kill her, so she ran forward as hard as she could, trying to shake it off. Unfortunately, it backfired, and she was eventually caught by it.

Because she had been afraid in her heart before, she didn't dare to look at the appearance of the evil ghost, and it was not until that moment that she realized that the evil ghost was actually herself.

The feeling of being too surprised made her forget her fear for a while, she looked at herself opposite, her red lips closed one by one, and she said one cold word after another.

She tried to hear what it was saying, but she couldn't make out a word. At this time, something pulled her hard, and she found herself in the river, and the rising waves could drown her at any moment.

She was scared, but that's it, she saw herself clearly in the water. That was what she looked like in her previous life, and the evil ghost behind her was floating on the shore.

She was crying as she floated, her crying was very desolate, and some words vaguely swept in the wind, but she still couldn't hear clearly. Nalan Jinxiu was terrified by her crying, she was so scared that she cried in a hurry.

"Ah Jin, wake up. ”

When Nalan Jinxiu opened her eyes again, Ji Hongye was beside her, looking at her with a worried expression. When he saw that she was awake, he asked, "But you had a nightmare?"

Nalan Jinxiu still had palpitations now, and she held his hand tightly, as if she was holding her last life-saving straw. Then he said in a somewhat trembling voice: "Third brother, I had a terrible dream, and the dream was very real. ”

Ji Hongye gently took her in his arms, and still said in a very soft tone: "What dreams did you have, don't you tell me about it." ”

He wanted to help distract her so that she didn't have to think about things in her dreams.

Nalan Jinxiu closed her eyes gently, the feeling in the dream was too realistic, and she hadn't broken free from that feeling yet. But this is her dream, and if she is asked to relay it, it should not be terrible to outsiders.

"I just dreamed that I was being chased by a ghost, and it kept talking to me, looking at the mouth shape repeating the same sentence, but I never heard what it said. ”

After Nalan Jinxiu finished saying this, he thought of his face in the dream again, and a bad feeling was rising in his heart.

She has now accepted her appearance, and it stands to reason that even in her dreams, she should be the face she is now. But why did she dream of herself and become the same way she was?

"Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, are you reading those words again?"

The words in Ji Hongye's mouth are those collected by Nalan Jinxiu, the stories of human and ghost love, demon love, and even human and god love.

Those stories, when she used to be idle and bored, would be used to pass the time. But she hadn't seen it in a long time.

Because she remembered that the third brother said that if a pregnant woman is a picky eater, the child she gives birth to will also be a picky eater. So she was thinking, if she still reads those nonsense books now, I don't know if the children in the future will like to read them too.

Although this idea is a bit outrageous, for the sake of the child, she still restrained her desire to read the book. Even if it's boring, no matter how boring it is, I haven't seen it. Therefore, the dream she had today should have nothing to do with the book.
