338: A well-deserved wife
Maybe Nalan Jinxiu was laughing too much, and Ji Hongye also faintly sensed what she was laughing at. He pretended to be serious with a straight face: "Who am I so verbose now? It's a bit too much for you to laugh like this!"
It's good that he doesn't speak, but the more he talks about Nalan Jinxiu, the more he wants to laugh, and finally he simply laughs and falls into his arms. Ji Hongye had no choice but to hold her carefully, lest she laugh so much that she would bump herself into the bumble again.
When I slept the deepest at night, I was woken up. After going out for a walk and coming back, Nalan Jinxiu couldn't sleep. Ji Hongye is going to the morning court tomorrow, and if she doesn't sleep well, she won't be able to move, so she will hold her and not let her move.
She barely closed her eyes and counted the sheep, and found that she still couldn't sleep, and that she was thirsty after eating sugar before. She thought that the third brother had just fallen asleep, so she should not wake him up, so she turned over lightly and faced the wall.
Ji Hongye woke up as soon as she turned over, he was already sleeping shallowly, and now that she is pregnant, he is even more vigilant when he sleeps. He stretched out his long arms and took the person with his back to him into his arms, and saw her staring at a pair of big eyes, without a trace of sleep.
"Aren't you sleepy?"
"Hmm. ”
"Close your eyes and fall asleep after a while. ”
"Third brother, I have just counted nine hundred and ninety-nine sheep with my eyes closed. Her voice was a little aggrieved.
Ji Hongye patted her lightly on the back and said with a smile: "Or I'll tell you a bedtime story?"
"Will you?" Nalan Jinxiu was very suspicious, with her understanding of the third brother, even if he wanted to tell a story, it was estimated that it was the deeds of a celebrity.
"Have you heard the story of the merman?" Ji Hongye recently watched "Sou Shen Ji" and "Naturalist Chronicles", so that when she couldn't sleep well at night, she would tell her a story.
"Outside the South China Sea, there are mermaids, who live in water like fish, and do not waste their weaving achievements. His eyes weep and they can produce pearls. Nalan Jinxiu said with flashing eyes, without a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
"You know all this?"
"I've known this for a long time. Nalan Jinxiu leaned her cheek on Ji Hongye's shoulder and said with a smile: "I don't like you to test your fame, so I study the Four Books and Five Classics every day and write the boring eight-strand essays." I like to find interesting things to read, such as the Records of the Gods, the Records of Strange Stories, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas...... I've seen all of this kind of anecdotes. ”
Ji Hongye was helpless, his little wife was not a child after all, it was not easy to coax. He had no choice but to say, "Then why don't you tell me?"
"Don't!" Nalan Jinxiu refused, and said glutinously: "Third brother, I'm thirsty." ”
Ji Hongye could only get up and take the teapot in the small cupboard and pour her a cup of white water. Nalan Jinxiu took it, drank it all in one gulp, and handed the cup back to him. After she became pregnant, she stopped drinking tea, saying that the cold tea would hurt the fetus.
"Or?" asked Ji Hongye.
"Half a cup. ”
Ji Hongye poured her half a cup, and she took it and only took one sip and stopped drinking. He had no choice but to drink the remaining half of the cup, then hugged her, closed his eyes and said, "Ah Jin, go to sleep." ”
Nalan Jinxiu still didn't feel sleepy, but she couldn't bear to sleep by mistake, so she closed her eyes obediently. After a long time, she was breathing evenly and long, and she should have fallen asleep.
Ji Hongye opened his eyes and looked at her quiet sleeping face, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he actually smiled softly. This girl doesn't sleep, how can he sleep?
The next day, Ji Lingxi came to the door.
Nalan Jinxiu knew that she had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but for the sake of face, she still listened patiently to her finish. Although she also sympathized that without Aunt Su's protection, Ji Lingxi would suffer a lot, but this did not mean that she agreed to release Aunt Su.
"Aunt Su's matter is decided by her father, if you want to beg your father, go and ask your father!"
"Third sister-in-law, if my father can listen to me, will I come to you? As long as you talk to the third brother, my aunt will definitely come out. I owe you a favor, please. Ji Lingxi pleaded when he saw Nalan Jinxiu and said.
"The third brother has a lot of things to do, and he can't take care of these little things in the back house. "Nalan Jinxiu also has a headache, why do they all think that the third brother is omnipotent, and they look for him for everything, do they really want to tire him to death?
Ji Lingxi had been married to Xu Jinsheng before. After Nalan Jinxiu's soul passed through, she repeatedly tolerated her, which ensured the peace between the two on the surface, but behind the scenes, Ji Lingxi did not give her a stumbling block.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to meet her in general, but she didn't give up, so Ji Lingxi came to beg her now, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Do you still remember the unpleasantness of the past, so you don't want the third brother to help me?"
"I didn't. "Nalan Jinxiu didn't lie, Ji Lingxi's little girl's tricks to harm people, she didn't pay attention to it at all.
"You have. ”
Nalan Jinxiu sighed, she felt that it was really enough, why did she accompany a little girl here to be serious? She could only cover her lips with a handkerchief, pretending to vomit. auspicious Ruyi agreed, helped her to leave, and said some polite words to Ji Lingxi.
Ji Lingxi sat in the hall for a while, but she still didn't see Nalan Jinxiu come out again, and she knew that people were avoiding her. She got up and went out, and when she walked to the gate, she didn't forget to look back at the word "Jinyuan", she felt that this was a shame that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
It is better to ask for others than for herself, and in the future, she will definitely not ask for others again.
After Ji Hongye came back in the evening, Nalan Jinxiu told him about Ji Lingxi's coming. He was serving her vegetables, and his expression did not change after listening to her words, and he was still faint.
"Lingxi is not small, it stands to reason that it is time to consider marriage. However, Aunt Su was locked up in the ancestral hall, and no one really worried about her. ”
"When the man gets married, the woman gets married, and then someone will naturally say, what the hell are you doing?" Ji Hongye put a crystal shrimp dumpling into her bowl and motioned for her to eat it.
Nalan Jinxiu shook his head: "I can't eat it, it's too fishy." ”
Ji Hongye put down his chopsticks and looked serious: "You say that the fish and shrimp are fishy, you say the meat is too greasy, and the porridge is tasteless...... You've counted the whole thing on the table, and I don't think you want to eat it. ”
Nalan Jinxiu had no choice but to poke the shrimp dumpling with chopsticks, and reluctantly picked it up and put it in his mouth, but found that the taste was the same as chewing wax, and it also had a faint fishiness.
Looking at her appearance of pressure medicine, Ji Hongye finally couldn't help it, he turned his head sideways and asked Jixiang, who was waiting on the side: "Madame, has your appetite been so bad these two days?"
"No, no, I just don't have an appetite at night. Nalan Jinxiu hurriedly waved his hand.
"I didn't ask you, eat your stuff well. Ji Hongye was heavy without eye pressure, and turned to auspiciousness again.
Auspicious looks absent-minded today. She was originally going to add soup to Ji Hongye, but she put it into Nalan Jinxiu's bowl, and sprinkled a few drops, all of which fell into Nalan Jinxiu's hands.
"Is it hot?" Ji Hongye suddenly stood up from the opposite side, walked to Nalan Jinxiu's side, and took a handkerchief to wipe Nalan Jinxiu's hands.
"It's fine. After Nalan Jinxiu answered, she looked at Jixiang in puzzlement. Jixiang's temperament is very stable, and she never makes reckless decisions, but she has made frequent mistakes in doing things recently, which makes Nalan Jinxiu a little worried.
"Let's go down first!" Ji Hongye was a little displeased, and he didn't serve the food well. If it weren't for the fact that she was a personal girl, and Ah Jin trusted her very much, he would have been punished.
Nalan Jinxiu could see his displeasure. Although the third brother has always had a light look on his face, if he has been in contact for a long time and has been carefully observed enough, he can find the difference. When he is happy, his eyes will be more focused, and when he is angry, he will be a little dark.
"Third brother, Jixiang didn't mean it, she was just a little absent-minded. I'll ask what happened later. ”
Ji Hongye didn't look at Nalan Jinxiu's hand well, and he didn't get angry. What made him most angry was that Ah Jin ate so little, but the people who waited for her didn't remind her, nor did they report it to him truthfully.
If he hadn't found out, she would have been like this forever. He picked up the chopsticks again, picked out some lighter ones for her, and said lightly: "I've been a little busy lately, I can't keep staring at you for dinner, why don't you say that you don't have a bad appetite?"
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just because it's hot. It's about to be autumn, so it's always better. ”
"Your current body can't stand it, and there is a small one in your belly, if you go on like this, what will you do when you give birth?" This is what he is most worried about, she is already thin, especially after pregnancy. With such a body, won't it be dangerous when giving birth?
Although Nalan Jinxiu still can't eat it, it can't refuse anymore. She slowly ate what Ji Hongye gave her, and behaved very obediently, hoping that her third brother would not be angry anymore.
Ji Hongye was also angry with others, so how could he be willing to be angry with her? Seeing that she was reluctant to eat by herself, she was a little distressed, so she asked in a low and soft voice, "What do you want to eat?"
Nalan Jinxiu went through everything he used to like to eat in his mind. But I found that it didn't whet her appetite at all now. She shook her head.
Ji Hongye thought for a long time and said, "I'll ask the saint for two imperial chefs." ”
Nalan Jinxiu hurriedly shook his head and refused: "The imperial kitchen can naturally only be used in the palace, if you also have it in your mansion, it may be criticized." What she worries about is that someone will take advantage of the problem, and if it affects his reputation, it will be more than worth the loss.
"It doesn't matter. ”
"No, it won't. You are now the second assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion, I don't know how many people are staring at your words and deeds?
Ji Hongye knew that she was thinking about him again. The wife of a colleague has a fate, and he has seen a lot, and each one of them is pretending, for fear that others will not know how noble her identity is. Only his Ah Jin always thinks about what to do to be beneficial to him, and the word "good wife" should be well deserved.
