279: Looks like a god
Ji Yunxi was pregnant, and it was already past the first three months before the Lu Mansion passed the news. Mrs. Ji was so happy that she said that Yun Xi was blessed, and she was pregnant less than a year after she got married.
Nalan Jinxiu finally figured out why the fourth sister didn't arrive when she and the third brother got married, thinking that she was delicate in the early stages of pregnancy, and the Lu family was reluctant to let her suffer. She knew that Ji Yunxi had not had a good time over the years, but fortunately, the family business that her grandmother found for her was not bad, and it seemed that she was husband and wife and beautiful.
The girl of the Ji family got married and became pregnant, which is a happy event. Several aunts said that they would send some congratulatory gifts to show their gratitude, but they were just playing tricks. In the final analysis, Ji Yunxi is just a concubine's daughter, her biological mother went early, and her husband's family is not a big family, not to mention a generous gift, just a thin gift, these aunts in the house are also reluctant to give it, more because they think it is not necessary.
Old Madam Ji was like a mirror in her heart, and she didn't waste her tongue with them, so she only looked at Nalan Jinxiu and said: "When your fourth sister was not married, the two of you were close, and now that she has good news, you should congratulate you the most." ”
Nalan Jinxiu replied with a smile: "It's still my grandmother who understands me, and that's what I mean." ”
"What do you want to prepare, just look at the preparations, I'll let Mama Guo bring some here." Since the Lu family has sent the news, then we must also be positive, lest Yun Xi be angry over there. As Mrs. Ji spoke, she had already waved at Mama Guo.
Nalan Jinxiu got up and said goodbye, she was going to see Ji Yunxi, she really had a lot of things to prepare. After packing up the things, Ji Xiang Ruyi looked at the mighty cart of things, and asked uncertainly, "Madam, are you sure you need to bring these?"
"Well, sure. ”
"We're here to visit, not to help, you're bringing so many things, I'm afraid it's not good to be seen!"
Nalan Jinxiu felt that it was right, so he stood in front of the carriage and commanded people to move things. But she really didn't know which ones could be left behind, because what her grandmother had brought her could not be left behind, and what she had prepared seemed useful to her.
Ji Xiang Ruyi knew that she had a difficult choice, so she made the decision to help her choose some and get the car. Nalan Jinxiu didn't say much when she saw that they had an idea, and she got into the carriage and saw a team of guards escorting her, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it. She attributed this to the sequelae of sneaking out to practice medicine in the past.
When he arrived at the Lu Mansion, the steward heard that it was the sister-in-law of the master's mother, and when he saw the maid and the maid who hugged him, as well as the neat guard, he knew that it was Ji Ge's wife. In the entire Lu Mansion, no one knows that the young lady's brother is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and he is the elder of the pavilion who is in charge of life and death in the Wenyuan Pavilion.
He didn't dare to delay, so he sent someone to take him to the young lady's courtyard and informed the old lady on the other. When Mrs. Lu heard this, she naturally asked people to prepare refreshments and meals, and decided to leave this delicate guest behind no matter what. This is the wife of her son's boss, and she will be promoted by relying on this relationship in the future.
Nalan Jinxiu didn't know that he was here, as if it was an earth-shattering shock, which made the entire mansion boil. The kitchen was so busy that even the people in charge of procurement were instructed to go out and buy new things.
Ji Yunxi was sitting by the window doing needlework, and when she saw Nalan Jinxiu coming in, she smiled gently: "I haven't had time to congratulate you on your wedding, so I don't admit it, but you came to see me first." ”
Nalan Jinxiu smiled at her and quipped, "If you don't go, won't I have to come?"
"I was going to go, but unfortunately I didn't have a good body, and I vomited a lot in the first three months after pregnancy. The doctor also said that the fetus was unstable and asked me to stay in bed to recuperate, and I have basically been in bed for three months. ”
"There are some reactions to a woman's pregnancy, but you are better now?"
"Much better. ”
Nalan Jinxiu approached her and saw that she was embroidered with a small red belly pocket in her hand, and the pattern was a unicorn gift, and the appearance was very vivid. Ji Yunxi put it away a little shyly, and whispered: "Don't look at it, the embroiderer has regressed." ”
"If you're not good, then won't I be able to see what I'm embroidering?"
"The third brother has a deep affection for you, how can he be willing to let you do this?" Ji Yunxi looked at her sideways and saw that she seemed to have lost some weight, but her spirit was surprisingly good.
"Do these are the mother's intentions for the child, you say this, your husband listens to it, are you going to die unjustly?" Nalan Jinxiu pulled Ji Yunxi's wrist and said with a pulse.
Ji Yunxi didn't speak when she saw her pulse, and waited quietly. It wasn't until Nalan Jinxiu let go of her hand that she asked, "What's the matter?"
"Steady. ”
"You cherish words like gold, you learned from the third brother. ”
"Yes?"
"Speaking of which, I should call you the third sister-in-law now. ”
Nalan Jinxiu felt a little strange, but after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Then I'm bargaining." ”
Ji Yunxi didn't say anything with a smile, and only beckoned her to eat dried green plums. Nalan Jinxiu ate one, remembered the box of dried green plums she gave before she went to Northern Xinjiang, and asked, "You have a lot of dried green plums at home, can't you finish them?"
"Huh?"
"Why do you keep giving me this?"
"Don't you like to eat?"
Nalan Jinxiu smiled and leaned back, and said, "You found it again." ”
Ji Yunxi still bowed her head and remained silent.
Nalan Jinxiu faintly felt that she was different. Although she smiled, there always seemed to be some scruples in her heart, and contact with her was not as natural as before. Could it be that Lu Yuan'an treats her badly? With her soft and kind temperament, she must not have said that she really suffered.
"You can stay for lunch. Ji Yunxi suddenly looked up and said to her.
Nalan Jinxiu shook his head: "No, there are still things in the house." ”
Who knew that Ji Yunxi insisted on it as usual, Nalan Jinxiu thought that she was alone in the Lu family, and when she saw her, she was reluctant to let her leave, so she agreed. She doesn't like to eat with the living, because she thinks that the table is the most relaxed time, and she doesn't want to change the cup and change the lamp, but also think about coping.
Seeing that her expression was calm, but obviously indifferent, Ji Yunxi whispered: "My mother-in-law told her before, if you come to the house, you must keep a meal." The third brother is in charge of the Criminal Department, and my husband's future career will depend on ......"
"Thank you. Nalan Jinxiu said to the old lady Lu, but she didn't touch the dishes she gave her, although they all had chopsticks, she was not pretentious enough not to eat others. It's just that they don't want to treat her as a relative, but want to blindly please, so she has to put up the shelf, after all, it is a second-class fate, and it is not normal not to do it.
Ji Yunxi saw that she deliberately snubbed herself, and awkwardly picked up the vegetables and lowered her head to eat, and felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart. She used to be sincere to her, and felt that in the entire Ji Mansion, there was only one one she who was really good for her. But when she found out that the person her husband was thinking of was her, she was crazy with jealousy.
Fortunately, she left and went to Northern Xinjiang, and it didn't affect her anything if she was so far away, so she was a little more relieved. But who knows, in just a few months, she actually came back and married the third brother, and the Ji family wanted her to be in charge sooner or later, so that she would become a person she could never get rid of.
On the day she received the invitation, Lu Yuan'an, who had always been gentle and polite, got drunk, hugged her and asked why, why not you? If she didn't know his sincerity, she would definitely feel in the clouds, but she knew and understood what he meant.
What was the feeling at that moment, as if she had suddenly fallen into the ice cellar, and the cold air pierced her pores open, and there was a biting chill inside and out.
She was thinking, if Lu Yuanan liked someone else, she also recognized it, why did it be Xu Jinsheng? They were obviously her most important people, and she had a feeling in her heart that she had been betrayed by both.
When she was pregnant, she couldn't have sex together, so Lu Yuanan moved to the study. Everyone in the house envied her, saying that she had married a good husband, and even at such a special time, he had no intention of taking a concubine. She only felt sarcastic when she heard it, what did he have to do with her not taking a concubine, and the person he was thinking about was not her!
They are now in harmony, and as for the future, she doesn't know what will happen. Maybe she doesn't necessarily have him in her life, it's really tiring to love a man who doesn't love her, physically and mentally exhausted, if it weren't for the child in her belly, she would really collapse.
Now there is only one thought left in her heart, that is, to give birth to a child safely. If she can give birth to a boy, it will be the eldest son of the Lu Mansion, she relies on the child, even if she does not have Lu Yuanan's care, she can live in the Lu family.
When Nalan Jinxiu left the Lu Mansion, Mrs. Lu kept saying that relatives should move around more and let her come to see Ji Yunxi more. Nalan Jinxiu responded well on her face, but she knew in her heart that she would not come again in the future. At the moment before getting into the carriage, Ji Yunxi was helped by someone and hurried over, she grabbed Nalan Jinxiu's hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”
Nalan Jinxiu shook her head and said lightly: "It's okay." ”
"I'm really bored here alone, if you are free, come and see me, even if you talk to me. Ji Yunxi's eyes were red, and she looked very pitiful, she was thinner than before after she became pregnant. When the people around her saw it, they all went over to comfort her, and she was also a star in Lufu.
Nalan Jinxiu clearly knew that she was no longer the Ji Yunxi she used to be. Now everything she has shown, how sincere it is, she can't tell it, and she doesn't want to distinguish it.
The carriage moved slowly, the wheels creaking. She leaned on the soft couch and thought, Ji Yunxi is not a stupid person, why is the alienation so obvious today? If she treats herself with an ordinary attitude as usual, then isn't she Nalan Jinxiu willing to go to the soup for her?
