Chapter 173: Happy Event
Gao Man also touched his lower abdomen, nodded with a smile, and said shyly: "I talked to you about this before, and this is it." ”
Zheng Lingyi moved to Gao Manyi's side, lowered his voice, and whispered, "How many months? ”
"It's only been a little over a month, and the doctor has been taking the pulse for a long time to be sure." Gao Man also whispered back.
"But be careful." Zheng Lingyi's eyes widened and admonished.
"Only the two of them and you and I know." Gao Man was also cautious, she felt that Zheng Lingyi's serious appearance was extremely cute, and she pursed her lips and smiled.
"Sister Mei also has to say, she is used to running over and hugging people, if you don't ask her to hug her, I'm afraid you have to think too much. It's better to make it clear to her, Sister Mei is careful and thoughtful, she can understand. Zheng Lingyi said.
Gao Man also thought about it and felt reasonable, so he said, "Okay, I'll talk to her later." ”
"You're not going to tell the second brother?" Zheng Lingyi said.
The smile on Gao Manyi's face disappeared, and he said indifferently: "In two months, let's talk about it when the fetal phase is stable." ”
Although Gao Man has also had some trouble with Wu Yongan recently, the pregnancy is a good opportunity to break the ice, so why didn't Gao Man take this opportunity to tell Wu Yongan?
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Zheng Lingyi said softly.
Gao Man also glanced at her, and said helplessly: "I can't even hide a star from you." ”
Zheng Lingyi smiled and said, "That means that my sister-in-law doesn't want to hide it from me." ”
Gao Man also smiled back, sighed again, lowered his eyes and said: "There is an official vacancy in Dali Temple, your second brother wants to climb up, but he is not qualified enough, so he wants me to go back to my mother's house to ask my father to sell favors." But my father has been worrying a lot lately, and I don't want to add to his troubles, so I didn't say yes, and your second brother will be cold to me. ”
Zheng Lingyi's face sank when he heard this, what a useless man, he didn't want to fight by himself, he only thought about the Yue family paving the way.
But Gao Man is also not as resistant to this kind of thing as Zheng Lingyi, and Zheng Lingyi is not good at saying much.
After she returned to the quiet residence, she did not tell Wu that Gao Man was also pregnant, but only said that Wu Yongan was looking forward to the Yue family's help to help him be promoted.
Wu Zhu couldn't but let out a 'hmm' sound, and there was no superfluous reaction, until Zheng Lingyi gave him a moment, he took his eyes off the book, looked at Zheng Lingyi calmly and said, "Are you surprised?" Didn't we talk about Wu Yongan before? ”
Zheng Lingyi shook his head and said, "I'm not surprised, I'm just worried about the second sister-in-law, in this courtyard, she can talk to me a few words." ”
"Don't worry, whoever is away will be fine. If she is too weak, it will not help you to worry about her. ”
Wu Zhi's words are always too cold and straightforward, but the reason can be grasped, so that people can't find a fault to blame.
The day of the release of the list is getting closer and closer, and some people in other courtyards are worried, praying every day that Wu will be punished and fall to Sun Mountain, and everything is the same as before, and the maids and mothers-in-law are living very leisurely and comfortable.
They only know that the master has taken the academic examination, and if the senior officials above think that the master's knowledge is good, they will divide them into officials, and if they are not selected, they will continue to be his young master, and there is no difference to the subordinates.
Only Lu Nong was a little annoyed, and after Huan'er recovered from his illness yesterday, he took advantage of Qiaoluo's inattention to blend into the farmers who delivered vegetables to the village and wanted to enter the house.
But Jin's mother never let these people in, and every time she brought two mothers-in-law to the side door to get them.
Yesterday was also a coincidence, the mothers-in-law had their own things on hand, only Pei'er was idle, Pei'er carried a small bamboo basket and went to the side door with Jin's mother.
If it was someone else, Huan'er Xu would not be so excited, and it can be seen that when Pei'er and Jin's mother talked and laughed, Huan'er vomited badly.
Pei'er is wearing a new yellow shirt, which was just rewarded by Zheng Lingyi before, although Pei'er looks average, her skin is even, and when she wears this dress again, it seems that her whole person is bright, and she is no longer depressed.
Although Zheng Lingyi is not soaked in the pile of jewelry and clothes, she can estimate who wears what kind of clothes look good, and she can estimate it with two glances.
Pei'er has been in good spirits these days, one is that she has got new clothes, but more importantly, this is not only clothes, but also Zheng Lingyi's affirmation of her.
The fear in her chest that she had been driving out had finally settled, and she had a good night's sleep yesterday that she hadn't had in a long time.
But Pei'er's good mood also disappeared the moment she saw Huan'er.
"Ring, ring." Pei'er looked at Huan'er wrapped in a burlap turban in surprise, and didn't know how to react for a while.
Mother Jin frowned and scolded, "Nonsense." ”
Huan'er glared at Pei'er, her eyes were red and bewitching, and she knelt down in front of Mother Jin and begged, "Mother Jin, please let my sister come and take a look at me." Let's hurt Huan'er again. ”
"You're on Zhuangzi now, and you're so green that you'll look at you, what's the matter with blending in like this? Not! Mother Jin said very resolutely.
"My sister went to Zhuangzi a few days ago to deliver a message to Qiaoluo, she has arrived in Zhuangzi, but she deliberately did not come to see me, Mother Jin, I really can't do it, I want to know that it will be like this, it is better to stay in ......
Huan'er sniffled and looked at Mother Jin with teary eyes.
Mother Jin couldn't bear to listen to her complaints, and when she turned to leave, she threw down a sentence and said, "Wait outside the door, I will tell Lu Nong, if she refuses to come, I can't do anything." ”
"Thank you Mama Kim, thank you Mama Kim." Huan'er respectfully thanked her.
Pei'er kindly reached out to help her, but Huan'er still held her wrist tightly after she got up.
Pei'er wanted to leave, but Huan'er jerked her and threatened in a low voice: "I can't stay, and you don't want to stay here!" ”
Pei'er felt very uncomfortable, shook her hand fiercely, picked up a basket of fresh lettuce and ran away.
Mother Jin thought about what seasonal side dishes to cook for lunch, and she didn't care about Pei'er's abnormality along the way, and when she arrived at the small kitchen, she was even more busy cleaning up, and only said: "You put down the dishes and go to pass the word to Lu Nong." Hey, sisters, but also enemies. ”
Pell turned her back and wiped away her tears, and replied with a forced smile.
She hesitated in her heart, but she still told Lu Nong honestly that Huan'er was waiting for her at the side door.
Lu Nong scolded something in a low voice, ordered Lu Zhu a few words, and hurriedly went to see Huan'er.
Pei'er stood in the spring sun, like falling into an ice cave.
I don't know if she was too careful, but when Lu Nong came back, he gave her a special look, but he went into the house without saying anything.
That night, Pei'er spread out a furoshiki on the mattress, but in the end she found that except for the wooden hairpin she was wearing when she came, everything else was rewarded and did not really belong to her.
Today, Pell was ready to be expelled from the retreat at any moment, and she carried a heart all day.
"Pelle." Green beads called, and Pei'er turned around suddenly, her eyes full of panic.
Lu Zhu was stunned and smiled: "What?" Scared me? Go to the kitchenette and get some food. Madame was hungry. ”
Pell nodded, 'Oops'.
"What's wrong with Pelle?" Zheng Lingyi sat in the outer room, and naturally heard Fang Cai's words.
"I don't know, maybe I've been tired lately? When Sister Qiaoluo comes, I will leave the affairs in this room to her, and I can help Pei'er during the day. ”
It's rare for Green Bead to be able to say this, although everyone is in the same courtyard, but there are always some differences.
Lu Zhu is used to being Zheng Lingyi's personal maid, and he can take the initiative to lower his identity, which is indeed a careless.
Zheng Lingyi looked at Lu Zhu, saw that she was puzzled, touched her cheek, and said, "Madam, what's wrong?" Is there anything on the slave's face? ”
"It's just cute." Zheng Lingyi said with a smile.
Lu Zhu couldn't help but laugh, and said coquettishly: "Madam, how can you look like a swinger." ”
The two laughed for a while, Zheng Lingyi estimated the time, and said, "How long has Lu Nong gone?" The county lord's mansion is not far away, why hasn't she come back? ”
Zheng Ling asked the county lord for Zheng Qijun's size, made a few clothes for him, and asked Lu Nong to send them in person in the morning.
This kind of thing is usually done by Lu Zhu, just to see that Lu Nong has been upset for the past few days, so she has a reason to go out and relax.
"I guess it's almost the same." Midori replied, looking out the door.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of firecrackers in the distance, and I thought it would be over for a while, but I didn't know that the sound of firecrackers kept ringing and didn't stop.
Zheng Lingyi and Lu Zhu came out with some hindsight, and Lu Zhu looked at Zheng Lingyi puzzled, "Is there any happy event in the house?" ”
Zheng Lingyi was still biting the fast cake, blinked, and suddenly smiled, both happy and a little incredulous: "Could it be the husband......
Lu Zhu was also overjoyed, patted Zheng Lingyi's palm, and said, "Don't worry, madam, the slave will go outside to inquire." ”
Wu Zhu had an appointment with Chen Shu today, saying that he was going to the market to buy some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and he would not be able to come back until the afternoon.
It's just that the two of them have big hearts, and they can still have this leisure when they are about to release the list.
As soon as Lu Zhu stepped out of the door, he saw Lu Nong walking briskly, almost rushing.
"Madame, Madame, Madame! The young master is hit, yes, it's the second class of Jinshi! The old general personally set off firecrackers at the door! But, what about the young master! Are you back? Is it in the hospital? The old general wants to see him! ”
Lu Nong said in a loud voice, and the people in the courtyard suddenly became lively, and even Pei'er, who was worried about it, was also happy.
When Lu Nong came back just now, the carriage she was riding in was startled by firecrackers, but Zhao Huyuan jumped up and held the horse, so as not to turn her upside down.
Lu Nong got out of the carriage in fear, but saw that General Wu had a big smile on his face, which was very inexplicable.
"Hurry up and call the fourth child to Nanyuan, I want to meet him!"
Old General Wu didn't smile when he spoke, looked up at the blue sky, and went in with his hands behind his back in a very good mood.
Lu Nong didn't know what was going on, but Zhao Huyuan told her, so she hurriedly ran all the way back.
"He is in the antique calligraphy and painting market in the north corner of the West Market, the market is so big, how can he find someone? Forget it, I'll tell my father-in-law in person. ”
Zheng Lingyi had a smile on his face, and walked out briskly with the hem of his skirt.
