Chapter 46: Visiting My Cousin
The son is not ugly, and the dog is not poor.
She's her mother.
But after staying in Yanjing City for a long time, she also knows how the noble ladies were taught. Because of the guilt of Cui Qing in his heart, and the fact that he can only point to his daughter in the future, most of the time Cui Qing is extremely tolerant and spoiled, and the requirements that can be met within the scope of his ability are also met as much as possible.
"Qing'er, this month, our monthly silver has been spent again, today you invite a few girls from Jiaqingbo Mansion and Li Mansion and Zhang Mansion to come, and we have posted a few taels of silver in it, you see if you can go to Jiaqingbo Mansion a few times this month......"
Every time I go to Jiaqing Bofu, I have to buy some pastries that Mu Huan likes to eat, or some other new things, and I always have to spend one or two taels of silver, they have been unable to make ends meet in the past few months, and they have spent a lot of silver saved in the past. This silver is her pension money, and every time she takes money out, she feels sorry for her.
But the daughter said that this is an investment, and only if she marries well in the future, can she have more silver to honor her. Thinking about it like this, Cui Shi gritted his teeth and gave it all.
The loss is that he lives in Shangshu Mansion, and he can get a few taels of silver from the public middle school every month, and the wages of several maids in the courtyard are also from the public middle school, so they don't need to spend money. In addition, during the New Year's holidays, or when there is any happy event, the old lady is happy to always reward some clothes and jewelry, etc., and they can also exchange some money, otherwise let alone save money, they don't even know if they have enough to spend.
"Didn't my aunt just give out the monthly silver two days ago?" Cui Qing couldn't help frowning.
"It's a hair, but that's not enough......"
"How much silver do we have?"
In total, there are still about one hundred taels of silver left, but Cui's didn't plan to tell the truth, pretending to think about it, and stretched out his hand to compare one and five.
"Only one hundred and fifty taels?"
"No, no, no," Cui shook his head repeatedly, "It's fifteen taels." ”
Cui Qing was so angry that he almost threw the teacup in his hand, thinking that if it was broken, he would have to spend money to replace it with a new one, so he endured it again. Putting the teacup on the table heavily, there was a heavy muffled sound, and Cui Qingmu sulked with a face. Seeing this, Cui Shi opened his mouth to say something, but when he came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.
I was in a stalemate when I heard movement outside.
Cui Qing raised his eyes to take a look, but saw that it was Mama Su from Mrs. Su's house who came to deliver something, and hurriedly stood up to greet her, "Why did Mama Su come over, but Grandmother has something to explain?" ”
"Cousin." Mama Su bowed slightly, and pointed back to the wooden boxes held by several maids behind her, "This is what the old lady specially ordered me to send over." This one is for Miss Qing, and these are for Miss Xin. The old lady said that a few girls should dress up when they are old, and specially picked a few suitable for the two girls, and said that I should send them over quickly. ”
Again, every time the old lady rewarded Xu Jiayi with something, she would always give her some more, so as not to make them unhappy. Who in the house doesn't envy her and can get rewards every three or five times, but who knows that these things are all picked out by Xu Jiayi, and the old lady pity her before giving them to her.
If you can choose, who wants to pick the rest!
Although she was unhappy, Cui Qing didn't show it on her face, and after thanking her with gratitude, she stuffed a small bag of reward money to Mama Su, bothering her to make this trip.
Mama Su didn't say much, and put away the silver bag with a smile.
After sending Mama Su away, Cui's hurriedly opened the box and looked at it, and when he saw the delicate jewelry inside, his eyes lit up, and he took it in his hand to look at this and that. Cui Qingjing sat quietly for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "The child in my cousin's belly should be born at the end of this year." ”
"If it's fast, it will be born at the end of the year, and if it's slow, it's the first month of next year." Cui Shi put down the box in his hand, thought about it carefully, Hai Shi was diagnosed as pregnant in June this year, and it was already two months at that time, and he replied after counting the days, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”
Wang Yunxiu got married in March next year.
She still has six months to go.
Cui Qing secretly squeezed the Jinpa in her hand, she couldn't wait any longer......
As the days passed, Xu Jiayi sometimes went to Wan'an Hall to ask for peace, sometimes to accompany Wang Yunxiu and Hai to talk, and went to the eldest princess's mansion for ten days and half a month, and spent more time embroidering in the house. In such a flash, it is already November.
On this day, I was embroidering flowers in the house, and I received a gift specially sent by the eldest princess, which was a bird's nest from the palace. The eldest princess couldn't finish eating, so she sent some over.
The people from the eldest princess's mansion didn't avoid people when they came in, and the people in the mansion knew that the eldest princess had sent her something again. Xu Jiayi can't do it when she eats alone, it's someone else's business whether she receives it or not, and whether she sends it or not is another matter. In the past, the same was true when each hospital received gifts, and each hospital would give some, not to mention the number of things, but to show attitude.
Xu Jiayi asked Xiangqiao to organize the bird's nest, divide it into six, and send some to each hospital. I kept some for myself, and more of them were packed in boxes and ready to be sent to Hai's. My cousin-in-law is now pregnant with Liujia, and she eats the nutrition of two people by herself, and this bird's nest can just replenish her body.
After the sun went down and it was not so hot outside, Xu Jiayi led Cuiyun and Yuanxiang to the courtyards to deliver bird's nests. Xu Jiayi was sent in order from near to far, and Hai's yard was far away, and it was also Xu Jiayi's final destination.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Hai's activities in the house, and Xiao Tao was waiting on the side. The doctor said that moving around more is good for the fetus, and the mother can be more relaxed during childbirth.
"Cousin-in-law."
"Here they are." Hai happily welcomed Xu Jiayi in, and asked the maid to prepare some pastries that Xu Jiayi likes to eat and put them on the table.
When a guest came, Hai's put the exercise on hold for a while, and let Xiao Tao help himself to slowly sit on the soft collapse for a while. Xiao Tao took a soft cushion and put it on Hai's back, and helped her to lean back slowly, so that she could lie down more comfortably.
Now that the month is older, Hai's vision is blocked, and he can't see his toes when he stands, so he can only let Xiao Tao wait by his side all the time.
Xu Jiayi looked at Hai's belly, which was a little bigger than when she came back to her. Now it is considered the third trimester, and the original slender waist has long disappeared. Xu Jiayi still remembers that when her waist was thick at the beginning, Hai was worried that her cousin would not like her if she became ugly, so she let her cousin coax her before putting this matter down.
"I specially let the kitchen boil this bird's nest soup, and my cousin-in-law drank some." Xu Jiayi said and took the soup bowl of bird's nest handed over by Cuiyun and put it in front of Hai's family, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I have already consulted the doctor and aunt, they all say that it is good for women to eat more bird's nest during pregnancy, which can not only nourish and stabilize the fetus, but also beautify and nourish the skin." ”
Xu Jiayi was talking, Yuan Xiang behind him opened the box in his arms and put it in front of Hai's family, Hai didn't understand what Xu Jiayi meant before he heard Xu Jiayi continue, "Today, the eldest princess rewarded some bird's nest and sent half of it to the kitchen to boil a bowl of bird's nest soup, and the rest was ordered to be collected by Yuanxiang, and the rest was sent to my cousin-in-law, so that Xiao Tao would boil some for you to eat every day." ”
Hai Shi straightened up slightly, and looked at Yanzhan with some embarrassment, "This ......"
"My cousin doesn't have to feel embarrassed, I also sent it to other hospitals." It's just that the big head is left to the Hai family.
"You've got a heart." After hearing this, the Hai family was relieved, smiled at Xu Jiayi gratefully, and asked Xiao Tao behind him to put away the bird's nest.
Bird's nest is indeed not a rare thing, and everyone in Yanjing City can afford to eat it.
But bird's nest is also divided into good and bad, and the bird's nest rewarded by the eldest princess is a tribute, and the quality is first-class and good, which cannot be bought with any amount of money outside.
What's even more rare is that Xu Jiayi has this heart.
"Little nephew, is he messing with you today?"
"Today is quite well-behaved, and it didn't make me suffer much. The child ......" was talking, and suddenly Hai's brows were furrowed, and he subconsciously leaned back on the soft collapse, and then stiffened his body without moving, feeling the punches and kicks of the child in his stomach.
Xu Jiayi looked at Hai's face and thought it was uncomfortable, "Cousin-in-law? Cousin, are you alright? Cuiyun, go get a doctor! ”
"Huh." Cuiyun ran out of the door while responding, and before the person reached the door, he heard Hai's voice ring behind him, "Don't go." ”
Cuiyun stopped and looked at Xu Jiayi. Xu Jiayi pursed her lips and instructed without looking back, "Go and ask the doctor to come." ”
"Yes." Cuiyun hurriedly ran out, and it was too late for the Hai clan to stop her, so she could only go with her.
Xu Jiayi nervously supported Hai's and observed her face. Now that she is seven months pregnant, you need to pay extra attention in case you slip or give birth prematurely.
After a while, he felt that the child in his belly was quiet, and Hai Shi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Jiayi, who was at a loss and staring at him nervously, and comforted her with a smile, "I'm fine, it's the child in my belly that moves a little hard." The doctor said that this is a normal situation, and there is no need to trouble the doctor to come over. ”
"It's better to ask the doctor to take a look." Xu Jiayi said stubbornly, staring at Hai's stomach for a long time, her eyes lit up, and she said in disbelief, "Cousin-in-law, can he really move?" ”
"Of course, I have to move it several times a day. is so restless, I'm afraid I'll be a naughty mischievous person in the future. Hai gently stroked his stomach, although he said so, but his face was not annoyed.
Xiao Tao moved an embroidery pier and sat at Hai's feet to massage her legs, Xu Jiayi took a look, and saw that Hai's calves were swollen badly, several times larger than when she was not pregnant, Xiao Tao gently pinched a mark, looking at it was a little shocking, Xu Jiayi couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
