Xi Hongdou's life is very peaceful, and Mrs. Xiao always came to send some supplements at the beginning, but since Fang Langzhong said that it was too easy to make up for the difficulty of production, she didn't always bombard with supplements, and it was time to use others.

"These are all paintings by famous artists I am looking for, and if you look at it more, you will definitely be able to give birth to a white and chubby doll!" Mrs. Xiao took a few portraits of dolls, all of them holding big carps, like New Year's paintings.

Xi Hongdou saw it, and said: "You don't have to look at it every day, just keep your soul beautiful......" Xi Hongdou said, looking at paintings every day has become a task.

Mrs. Xiao disagreed, so she said: "Naturally, you have to see it every day, this painting is amazing, I heard that the queen looked at this one every day, and finally gave birth to the prince!" ”

Xi Hongdou laughed directly: "Mother, this painting is so easy to use, where is it our turn to come and see?" Those ladies in the palace are going to break their heads! "It is estimated that it was a liar who fooled Mrs. Xiao and spent unjust money!

Mrs. Xiao was speechless and said: "It's because the queen is afraid that other mothers will also give birth to dragon sons, so she spread these words outside the palace!" "There are noses and eyes.

Xi Hongdou looked at her mother-in-law with such kindness, if she kept going down, she would make her mother-in-law unhappy, so she obediently stared at the painting.

Xiao Zhi has become more and more busy today, and since he was promoted, the time to come back for dinner at noon has also been tight. Mrs. Xiao didn't let Xi Hongdou go out of the house, so she could only let her subordinates go to the yamen to deliver food, Xi Hongdou also felt lonely like snow, it was only more than two months old, and if she wanted to go out, she had to wait until at least four months.

As soon as October arrived, the snow began to fall in Kyoto City, and Xi Hongdou and Ma Xueyan prepared clothes for the baby in the room.

"Young grandma, the quilt is ready, you see." Ma Xueyan brought a small quilt over to Xi Hongdou to see.

Xi Hongdou looked at the back made of soft satin, which was very comfortable to the touch, and he couldn't wait to cover it himself.

"It's good, this fabric is really good!" Xi Hongdou said with a smile.

"This fabric should be even better than tribute satin, tribute satin is rare, and this fabric is even more difficult to find." Ma Xueyan said that the embroidery girl of the Xiao family not only has a lot of salary, but also eats and lives a lot better.

Xi Hongdou nodded, and asked Rue Xiang to put it away, Rue Xiang took the baby and sent it to the hut next to it, which was prepared for the children born in the future, and Mrs. Xiao added it when she thought of anything, and nothing good was left behind.

"Young grandma, why did you keep me?" Ma Xueyan saw that there was no one else in the house, so she dared to ask the question in her heart, she was an adulterous child who was not tolerated by the world.

Xi Hongdou said: "The embroidery is good, otherwise?" ”

Ma Xueyan looked at Xi Hongdou and didn't seem to mention his life experience, so he said: "I came out at the age of thirteen to beg for a living, and now I can come to the house to be an embroiderer, which is already the best life I have earned in my life." If it weren't for Xi Hongdou not mentioning a word, she wouldn't have been able to stay.

"A lifetime is still a long time, I see that you are not as old as me, can you still see through a lifetime?" Xi Hongdou said: "Let's make a little dress again!" "I just looked for the fabric, and I didn't want to continue the conversation.

It is already difficult for women to make a living in this world, and those stumbling blocks that drag their feet can be kicked and kicked, and they can't trap themselves by themselves.

Ma Xueyan nodded, and then went to choose the fabric, and she was also grateful to Xi Hongdou in her heart.

Mrs. Xiao was anxious, so she asked people to go outside to find a nurse early, and the requirements for candidates were not low, not if the family background was not innocent, not if there was something wrong with the body, not if the parents were sick, not if they were ugly, not if they were too vulgar, and not if they were of low moral quality.

"Mother, does such a nurse really exist?" Xi Hongdou sighed, no one is perfect, and if you are sick, it doesn't count, and the problem of beauty and ugliness has to be considered? This isn't a beauty pageant either!

Mrs. Xiao said: "If it doesn't exist, it must exist, to be a nurse for my grandson, it must not be a non-trivial person!" Then he looked at the candidates that Steward Wu had been looking for for a few days, and he was not satisfied.

Xi Hongdou took a few and looked at it, and said, "This is okay, I am strong and have two children, so I should be very good at taking care of children." ”

Mrs. Xiao knocked on it and said, "No, you see, it is written that her husband is still in prison for stealing chickens and dogs, and such a person can't come to our Xiao family to be a nurse!" ”

Xi Hongdou exhaled, and then said, "When will I find this?" She also knows that breastfeeding is good, but she has never been a mother after all, so it is good to have someone to help take care of her.

Mrs. Xiao persevered, this batch is not good, so she will replace the next batch, so that the housekeeper Wu is already a head eight big, and when she saw the plump woman, she wanted to ask Do you have milk, and her spirit was about to go wrong.

The weather is getting cooler, Xi Hongdou wants to make some thick clothes for Xiao Zhi again, Xiao Zhi has also grown taller in recent years, and the previous clothes don't fit well, so Ma Xueyan is here, so let Ma Xueyan make a new one.

"Can you see if you can use these mink skins?" Xi Hongdou asked, the mink was brought by the caravan from his hometown, although Kyoto City is not as cold as Shuobei in winter, but if it is not good to keep warm.

Ma Xueyan looked at it and said, "It can be used, but it is made of a shawl collar, but I don't know what the young master's size is." ”

As soon as Xi Hongdou was about to say, Xiao Zhi came back outside the door, and for several days, this was the first time that Xiao Zhi could be seen before it was dark.

"I just came back, so you can measure it!" Xi Hongdou said.

Xiao Zhi saw that there were people in the house, so he said, "This is the new embroiderer?" Xi Hongdou also mentioned it to him in the past few days.

Ma Xueyan hurriedly got up and came over to salute, and Xi Hongdou said: "Xueyan is very good, just talking about asking her to make you a new dress!" Then he beckoned Ma Xueyan to come over and measure the size, and put it on as soon as he made it.

Ma Xueyan hurriedly went to the basket to get a ruler, and just about to come over to measure it, Xiao Zhi said: "Don't be so troublesome, the original clothes are tall and fat and thin to release two inches." Then let Ma Xueyan go down first, he rarely came back, and wanted to talk to Xi Hongdou more.

As soon as Ma Xueyan left, Xiao Zhi looked at the "New Year's Painting" on the table, and said with a smile: "It's not bad that my son can look so tiger-headed in the future." ”

As soon as Xi Hongdou heard the word "son", he said: "What if it's not a son?" In the past few days, this anxiety has surrounded her, and her mother-in-law is also a grandson who opens her mouth and closes her grandson, but this birth of a boy and a girl is not something she can say accurately, in case it is a daughter, I am afraid that my mother-in-law will be disappointed.

Xiao Zhi said: "The girl is not bad, but the girl can't be a tiger, otherwise it will be difficult to marry in the future." ”

Xi Hongdou was amused, thinking that Xiao Zhi didn't mind if he was a daughter or a son, but ......

"To be honest, will my mother be unhappy because I gave birth to a daughter?" Xi Hongdou said, for her belly, Mrs. Xiao is not tired every day, if this does not go with Mrs. Xiao's wishes, it is not easy to explain.

Xiao Zhi said: "That's also her granddaughter, not to mention that the child was born by you, what is she dissatisfied with?" ”

"This ......" Xi Hongdou didn't know how to refute it, but what she was most worried about was that Mrs. Xiao would be patriarchal and dislike children.

Xiao Zhi asked Xi Hongdou not to worry too much, his mother was at most to make suggestions, the key issue was still the two of them, if they were really unhappy, then their family of three would move out, and there would not be so much right and wrong if they were far away.

The days passed day by day, and the drama of the troupe was almost sung, and during the period, there were newcomers joining, and Bai Ling gave the "interview", although Xi Hongdou did not see anyone, but he also deliberately let Bai Ling call the shots. Zhao Fengqi didn't have anything to say, after all, Zhao Fengqi didn't have any ideas about "management", he just wanted to sing a good show.

The new story written by Xi Hongdou before was directly transferred to Su Yuanjia by Zhao Fengqi, and the new drama was left to Su Yuanjia to ponder.

During the day, Xiao Zhi was not at home, Xi Hongdou looked at the account book, Ma Xueyan took Xiao Zhi's clothes and measured the size, and then said: "The young master is very tall." ”

Xi Hongdou glanced at it and responded casually, Ma Xueyan said: "The young master looks young, and he is already a big official of the imperial court, which is really amazing!" ”

When Xi Hongdou heard this, he glanced at Ma Xueyan again, and said, "Yes." But his eyes still looked at Ma Xueyan from time to time.

Ma Xueyan took Xiao Zhi's clothes and looked left and right, the more she looked at it, the redder her face became, and there was a shy smile on her face.

In the evening, Xiao Zhi came back, and Ma Xueyan stepped forward and said, "Young master, the clothes will be ready in a few days." ”

Xiao Zhi hummed, sat down thirsty and wanted to drink water, Xi Hongdou was just about to pour water, but Ma Xueyan moved faster and poured water directly.

Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Thank you, you go down first." Although he took the water, he still let Ma Xueyan go down first.

Seeing Ma Xueyan leaving, Xi Hongdou said, "Is it delicious?" ”

Xiao Zhi said: "When did the embroidery girl in this house start to serve tea and pour water?" ”

Xi Hongdou was stunned and said, "I may have lured the wolf into the room." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhi asked.

Xi Hongdou shook his head, and did not continue, Ma Xueyan was like that in the afternoon, it was estimated that she had thoughts about Xiao Zhi, but she had only met once, and she could be tempted, and this Xiao Zhi was really ...... The sin is great!

Xiao Zhi came back with the fruit and said that it was shared by the Yamen, so Xi Hongdou asked, "Does the Yamen still have this good thing?" ”

"The emperor rewarded me, originally my official position was not qualified enough, and it was not enough for Lord Shangshu to give it to me, so it was not easy to refuse." Xiao Zhi said, but his face was not good.

Xi Hongdou asked: "This Shangshu has an enmity with you?" ”
