Afu hurriedly handed the child to the nurse, got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "The husband is back?" It's really early today! ”

Shu Yu came over to tease the child: "There is nothing to do in the court today, so I dispersed early." ”

He suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "The emperor summoned Ning to return to Beijing at the end of the month, you talk to your sister-in-law, and she will be happy." ”

Afu was not familiar with the royal relatives, and hesitated for a moment: "Is it the second brother of the eldest sister-in-law?" ”

That's it, she wrote it down when she was holding her aunt's funeral.

Shu Yu scratched the child's chin with his hand: "Well, Ning Zhi is the second in line, and the eldest is the concubine of the eldest princess of Xunyang, whose name is Mu Zhi." ”

Afu was puzzled: "Hey, is the brother-in-law of the third brother and sister Mr. Ning Zhi?" ”

Shu Yu smiled and said angrily: "This is really full of mistakes! Huan Xian's sister Huan Yi is married to Ning Zhi's younger brother! You! ”

Sakura also laughed at the back, and said in a lively manner: "The second master doesn't know, the girl doesn't remember anyone when she is young, and the younger brother of our girl's sister-in-law..."

Ah Fu knew that Sakura wanted to tell the story of her mistaken belief in Jin Heng as her cousin's distant brother when she was a child, so she was embarrassed and hurriedly interrupted: "Sakura Sakura, are you facing the second master or me?" ”

Sakura stuck out her tongue and stopped squeaking.

No matter how Shu Yu teased, the little doll only knew that it had a pair of eyes half-open and half-closed, staring at the adult stupidly, and not saying a word.

Shu Yu stared at him for a while, only to feel that it was not good, and turned his head to ask Qing Yan: "Why didn't Xiangyuan say a word?" Have you spoken in your house? ”

Qing Yan didn't know when he had already come to a place just a few steps away from the two of them, and his eyes stared at the child's little face for a moment: "If you go back to the second master, the young master is extremely quiet, so he hasn't spoken much." ”

Shu Yu looked at her as haggard and unrelenting, and was quite disgusted: "I heard the maid next to you say that you eat and drink around the child every day, and you don't know how to say a few words to him, so how can the child speak?" What a good boy makes you so stupid! ”

Qing Yan listened silently, quite numb, but nodded again and again.

Xiangyuan stared at A-Niang's face, and suddenly screamed, waving his little arms, and the nurse almost couldn't hold him.

Qing Yan naturally reached out to hug him, but his seemingly thin arm could easily gently turn Xiangyuan, which was like a small ball of meat, and coaxed him with "oh" and "oh" in his mouth.

Who knew that she was asked to shake it like this a few times, and Xiangyuan calmed down, obediently hugged her aunt's neck, and was silent.

Shuyu's face was full of disapproval, boys, should be raised in the skin; What are the prospects for such a dumbfounded.

He looked at Ah Fu, and happened to see her staring at this picture of deep love between mother and son, and unconsciously revealed a little envy.

Shu Yu didn't think about it and said, "From today on, Xiangyuan will be raised by his wife." Seeing the disbelieving expression of Yan suddenly raised, he added: "Xiangyuan is also big, you need to prepare for enlightenment in the future, Madame can read words, it is naturally much better than you bring it yourself." ”

Ah Fu was also surprised, a little afraid that Qing Yan, who loved her son, would react excessively, but she remembered the mention in the book of Ah Niang's family that had just been burned, and forced the words to her lips, and stood there quietly, waiting for her husband to speak for her.

Shuyu's voice fell, but Qing Yan still didn't say anything, thinking that this was already her toughest resistance that had always been submissive.

No one spoke in the room, so Shu Yu said, "Okay, you can go back." Yuan Niang, you go and find a place to settle Xiangyuan. ”

Yuan Niang came over happily and couldn't help but say that she took the doll away that was still in a daze.

When Qing Yan left, he turned back three times in one step, his eyes were red, which made Afu a little unbearable, and said slowly while untying the crown for Shu Yu: "Husband, just bring Xiangyuan over, I don't know if Sister Qingyan can stand it?" ”

Shu Yu didn't feel that Qing Yan was qualified to object: "What can't she stand it?" If it weren't for the eldest son, I wouldn't have let you raise it yourself. This is Xiangyuan's blessing. Besides, Xiangyuan's mother is you, she's just a roommate. ”

Speaking of this, Afu remembered something. In this dynasty, if it is a concubine of good origin, it can be upgraded after giving birth to a child, such as from the aunt to the side room, and even from the side room to the wife; If it is a lowly concubine, although the promotion is still the same, but the highest is only for the aunt, and unless the in-laws allow it, they can never leave the lowly status, and if the children born are raised under their knees, they will automatically not be included in the lowly family.

Qingyan is a good person, and according to the law, she can already be promoted to an aunt.

Afu vaguely felt sorry for her in her heart, so she said: "Husband, Sister Qingyan gave birth to Xiangyuan, and according to the law, she should be promoted from Tongfang to aunt." ”

Shuyu said "oh": "I forgot, okay, find an excuse in a few days, and ask her to toast you with a cup of tea." ”

Yuan Niang thought that the child raised by Qingyan was dirty, so she took it and took it to the side room to take a bath, which made Afu hear the child's heart-rending cry in the main house, which made her flustered.

Shuyu took his clothes and went to the bath room to bathe, and he was reluctant to hug Afu and kiss him non-stop.

Afu finally got out in embarrassment, locked him in the bathroom, asked Sakura Sakura to carry the lamp, and the two went to the side room.

Wanwan and Yuan Niang bathed Xiangyuan, and they could hear the people inside turning their backs from afar, and there was chaos.

Walking through the verandah, Sakura suddenly stopped, turned back to protect Afu, and said nervously: "Madam, how can there be a figure on that door?" ”

Ah Fu looked at it, and sure enough, her heart was pounding, and she involuntarily took two steps back.

Thinking that this is the courtyard of Pei's Mansion, what other small people can there be? Sakura plucked up her courage and said, "Who?" ”

Hearing Sakura's voice, she sat down in the room and immediately ran out of the maid who was waiting in the outer courtyard: "Sister Sakura? ”

It was Chu'er, the figure also moved, and was about to leave in a panic, when Sakura shouted: "Stop her!" ”

When I got closer, it turned out to be Qing Yan.

Ah Fu frowned and said, "What are you doing sneaky?" ”

Qing Yan quickly knelt down and kowtowed, but Afu was so frightened that she fell back two steps: "Madam, the young master is crying miserably, beg Madame to let Qing Yan go in and have a look!" ”

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Afu's leg, and was knocked off by Sakura Sakura: "Miss Qingyan, get up, it's not the New Year yet, what are you doing here." Just now, our wife also told the second master, I will raise you to be my aunt one day, and I will be more decent..."

It's okay not to say this, but when you say it, it's like a thunderclap, exploding in Qingyan's heart.

She felt that Madame must have tried to snatch her son away from her once and for all by this grace.

Qingyan is a Yangzhou girl, although her family is not official or rich, but she is also a good family. The good times didn't last long, in the nineteenth year of Daguan, when Yangzhou was flooded, she followed her father and mother all the way to escape from the famine, and she really had no choice but to sell herself as a slave, and soon she was taken over by Shuyu.

It's impossible to say that you don't have any expectations. Qingyan was born with a spirit of water, and people are also elegant, and Shuyu is a noble son who is famous all over the world, and she also felt that this was a good marriage rewarded by God.

It's not like Shuyu hasn't spoiled her.... When there were only herself and Sister Qian'er in the house, Shuyu's preference for her was felt by her.

Shuyu, the name is in her tongue. After many days and nights, he always hoped that one day he would let her call him by his name with tenderness, but this thought also turned into a mirror with the new lady entering the door.

The new lady is a delicate beauty, but her heart is not as delicate as it seems. On the second day of entering the door, she changed the name of Sister Qian'er, and held Shuyu tightly, the old lady and the eldest girl liked her, and she did not let the roommates enter her elegantly furnished room to say goodbye, and could only occasionally catch a glimpse of her Qian's shadow—often hugging her back and forth—as if everything about her was so complete, as if it were a distant dream in Qingyan's heart.

Fortunately, she still has her own son.

Qing Yan doesn't like the name "Xiangyuan", how can her unique son have such a name of "Xiangzhu" who "throws bricks and leads jade". In private, she called him Kang Bao, hoping that her karma box would grow solid.

But her karma box was actually given to Mrs. by the second master! Not to mention promoting her to be a mother, that is, to make her a wife, she is also unwilling to die.

Listening to Kang Bao's heartbreaking, Qing Yan leaned on the crack of the door and watched with tears streaming down his face.

In that great famine, corpses were everywhere, and there were very few people like her who escaped all the way to the famine. Therefore, Qingyan has been at peace with her in the past few years, and she always feels that it is good to have a full bite to eat.

But as a mother, I'm afraid, she will have to fight with this lady.
