Chapter 136: Tracking (I)
On the house of Xun Boyu, the cousin Lu Niangzi was locking herself in the boudoir, she was sitting in front of the dresser, her stomach was tumbling for a while, and the maid Ah Huai, who served her closely, knelt next to her, holding a spittoon in one hand and gently patting Lu Daixin's back with the other.
When she was eating lunch, Lu Daixin kept saying that she had no appetite, she had eaten very little, and now she vomited completely, she had been in this body for nearly three months, and now it was the worst time for morning sickness.
Lu Daixin vomited almost, Ah Huai put down the spittoon, took a handkerchief and wiped the filth on her mouth, but Lu Daixin was crying and crying, and said: "Pity me now that I am still a girl who has not left the cabinet, and I am pregnant, if this is spread so that people know, I would rather die headlong......"
"Lady, don't say that, what can't you die," Huai said, and hurriedly wiped Lu Daixin's tears.
Lu Daixin looked at her, thinking about the grievances in her heart, these tears were like pearls with broken threads, flowing down one by one, she said: "My body is about to be hidden, and no one can hide it then, but Shen Lang is unwilling to marry me for a long time, and now I can't even find anyone, but how can I be ......?"
Ah Huai these days, every day repeatedly, wipe her tears, secretly pour the spittoon, she said: "Shen Langjun's business is very busy, Xu is still out of town and has not come back, and the lady should not think too much." β
Lu Daixin touched his belly, which was already a little pregnant, and said, "Then what should I do with my belly?" I really can't hide it a few more days. β
Ah Huai thought about it, and gave Lu Daixin a trick, she said: "It's better to be like this, the lady will find someone to make a few loose clothes, if you can cover it, you can cover it, it happens to be summer, if someone asks, the lady will say that the uncle eats too well, so the food is more and more mellow." β
Lu Daixin pondered for a while before replying: "Then you accompany me to Liu Ji to have a look, and ask them to increase the size of my yard by a few inches." β
"Yes," Ah Huai carefully helped Lu Daixin to stand up, and then went out with her, but unexpectedly, the two of them met Xun Xue at the gate of the mansion and came back.
"Aunt......" Lu Daixin met Xun Xue's face, and there was unconcealed uneasiness and panic on his face, and Xun Xue's naturally doubted.
These days, Lu Daixin is quite diligent when he goes out, Xun Xue's aunt is already suspicious, but he is not good at asking too much, but now he happens to meet it, so he naturally seized the opportunity to ask.
"Dai Xin, where are you going?" Xun Xue looked at Lu Daixin with a smile, but he was kind and amiable.
"Oh...... I ......" Lu Daixin couldn't answer at first, and glanced at Ah Huai beside him, before considering the reason, she explained: "I went to Liu Ji to measure and make two clothes, isn't it going to be summer after a while, I didn't bring summer clothes when I came." β
Xun Xue was a little strange and said: "If you want to tailor your clothes, why don't you just ask the tailor to come to the house?" Why do you need to go on this trip, I am familiar with Liu Ji's tailor, just send someone over to say hello. β
Lu Daixin smiled: "That's what my aunt said. However, I went there myself, and I wanted to pick a few more beautiful materials, otherwise, I wouldn't want to make another trip. β
Xun Xue believed it, she nodded, and responded: "Then you go, come back early." β
Now that it is the end of March, it is indeed almost summer, not only Lu Daixin is busy cutting summer clothes, but Xie Zheng also told Yuzhi to go to Liu Ji to hire a tailor.
The Liu Ji tailor shop is located on the bank of the Qingxi, under the Jiming Bridge, and across the bank from the Confucian teahouse. The faΓ§ade of the shop is not small, although the owner is just an ordinary businessman, but this craft is passed down from generation to generation, and it is also a century-old brand, Liu Ji is famous for its exquisite craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship, and the clothes worn by the ladies and ladies of Jiankang are made by Liu Ji in eight out of ten, and Xie Zheng is no exception.
Qingxi originates from Zhongshan, connects the tide ditch in the north, enters the Qinhuai River in the south, there are seven bridges on the stream, from north to south, they are Dongmen Bridge, Nanyin Bridge, Jiming Bridge, Zhaoshi Bridge, Hushou Bridge, Xiangsi Bridge and Huaiqing Bridge. The Hou Mansion of Yongxiu County is adjacent to Qingxi in the west and the Qinhuai River in the north.
Yuzhi walked out on foot, but saw a familiar figure halfway through, the two were far away, she was surprised: "Erlangjun? β
I saw Huan Rang walking on the Hushou Bridge, from west to east, and hurriedly walked under the bridge, Yuzhi was stunned in place, staring at him with two eyes and walking away, just frowned, and said suspiciously: "What is he going to do there......
In the eastern suburbs, there are royal garden villas, and there are many palaces of princesses in the dynasty, such as the prince's mansion, Changsha palace, Wuling palace, Yixing princess's mansion, and Huainan princess's mansion, all of which are gathered here.
Yuzhi wanted to follow, but seeing that the person had disappeared from view, he had no choice but to give up.
Liu Ji's tailor shop is very busy, Yuzhi is here with a purpose, she just wants to invite Tailor Liu to go to the Hou Mansion, she glanced around as soon as she entered the store, but she didn't see Tailor Liu's figure, the little girl ran to her, greeted with a smiling face: "Zhan Niangzi came to see the material?" β
Yuzhi is also a very gentle woman on weekdays, and she said, "I'll find Mr. Liu and ask him to measure my lady and make a few summer clothes," she said, and then looked inside, and then asked, "Is Mr. Liu not here today?" β
"Yes, the owner is in the room to tailor the cousin of Xun Chang's family, Zhan Niangzi wait a moment," the little girl spoke, and stretched out her hand to point to the small door leading to the back room, and then smiled politely at Yuzhi.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Daixin took Ah Huai and followed Tailor Liu out of the back room, the two of them talked and laughed, Tailor Liu held the paper that wrote down Lu Daixin's size in one hand, and held a ruler in the other, and said to Lu Daixin: "The ready-to-wear will be ready in about ten days, and if it is fast, it will be like this in seven or eight days. β
"Oh, good," Lu Daixin bowed, and did not forget to tell Tailor Liu: "The waist must be two inches larger, and it is comfortable to wear looser in summer." β
"Eh," Tailor Liu nodded.
When Yuzhi saw him come out, he hurriedly called: "Mr. Liu! β
Tailor Liu seemed to be startled by her sudden call, he followed the prestige to see Yuzhi, and said with a smile: "Lady Zhan is here." β
At this time, Lu Daixin was still standing next to him, and Tailor Liu hurriedly beckoned the little servant to come over to entertain him, gave him the paper in his hand, and then turned his head to Lu Daixin and said, "That...... Lu Niangzi, you will pick up the materials here first, and if you need anything, just ask. β
Ludeshin nodded lightly again.
After settling Lu Daixin, Tailor Liu walked towards Yuzhi, and Yuzhi said, "Mr. Liu, are you busy at this time?" β
"I'm not too busy, did the county lord tell me to measure it?" As soon as Yuzhi asked him if he was busy, Tailor Liu knew what she was going to ask him to do.
Yuzhi didn't answer him, but just laughed: "If you're not busy, just go with me." β
Tailor Liu took two rulers, pointed to the cloth hanging in the store, and asked, "Do you want to pick two horses?" β
"The material is not busy, there are still a few Shu brocades in the house, if it is not enough, my lady will come and pick it up in person."
Yuzhi said that, and walked out of the shop, and Tailor Liu followed suit.
Lu Daixin was still carefully picking up the material here, Ah Huai stood behind her, and glanced out with his eyes, which was not good, and at a glance, he saw the old man.
"Shen Langjun?" Ah Huai pulled Lu Daixin's sleeve with one hand, pointed to the outside of the store with the other, and shouted: "Lady! Shen Langjun, it's Shen Langjun! β
It's really a coincidence, Shen Wenhe took Sun Wei to wander outside, just passing by this Liu Ji tailor shop, and suddenly heard this call from inside, his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground, and he couldn't walk, and he couldn't run.
When Lu Daixin heard that Ah Huai saw Shen Langjun, he was also busy looking out, and when he saw Shen Langjun in his heart, he immediately cried with pear blossoms and rain, tears in his eyes, and called delicately: "Shen Lang ......"
Seeing Lu Daixin walking out, Shen Wenhe was particularly flustered in his heart, he hurriedly glanced left and right, for fear of letting acquaintances see it, now that Xiao Yifu is still in the grounding period, although their husband and wife have not seen each other for more than a month, in the final analysis, he is still a colt, and he still can't casually interact with other women.
Shen Wenhe is now worried that people will find out that he has an affair with Lu Daixin, but also afraid that Lu Daixin will find out that he is actually Princess Yixing's concubine.
As soon as Lu Daixin came out, he threw himself into Shen Wenhe's arms, grabbed Shen Wenhe's waist with one hand, clenched his fist with the other hand and slapped it softly on Shen Wenhe's chest, choked and said: "Where have you been in the past two months, I am so worried......
Shen Wenhe was busy comforting her, so he naturally didn't bother to pay attention to whether anyone was watching around.
At that time, Yuzhi had not gone far, she first heard people call "Shen Lang", and then heard people crying, in line with the heart of loving talk, she pricked up her ears and listened, but she didn't look back, until she heard a man say softly like water: "Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm not back now?" Look at you, your eyes are swollen from crying. β
This is...... Shen Wenhe's voice?
Yuzhi looked back, and sure enough, he saw the front of the tailor's shop, Shen Wenhe and a woman hugging each other on the street, and the two of them were in love and inseparable.
The woman...... Isn't it the one that Tailor Liu tailored in the back room?
Tailor Liu was also looking back, and Yuzhi hurriedly asked, "Mr. Liu, who is that girl?" β
"Oh, she is the niece of Xun Envoy, the lady of the Fan Yang Lu family."
"It turned out to be her ......" she vaguely remembered that she seemed to have talked to Xie Zheng about her conversation before, why did she hook up with Shen Wenhe, didn't she know that Shen Wenhe was Princess Yixing's concubine?
This lady of the Lu family is a bold person, so she is not afraid that Princess Yixing will kill her?
Yuzhi smiled faintly, then turned around and took Tailor Liu away.
Lu Daixin had already cried into tears, she lay on Shen Wenhe's chest, and complained: "When you left last time, you obviously said that you would come back in two or three days, why haven't you seen anyone all the time, do you know, I stayed at my uncle's house, and I was always scared, frightened and scared......
Shen Wenhe broke free of her embrace, and then looked around, looked around vigilantly, and said: "It's hard to say, there are people coming and going on this street, making people see jokes, let's go home and talk about it." β
After he said that, he reached out and wiped his tears for Lu Daixin, who bit his lip like a child, nodded at him again and again, and Shen Wenhe took her away.
The two returned to the private house on Baiyang Street in the west of the city, Shen Wenhe naturally used the excuse of running around to do business, and easily deceived Lu Daixin, Lu Daixin touched his stomach and asked softly: "Shen Lang, now that my belly is more and more pregnant, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it in a few days, ...... you When will you come to my house to propose......"
The last time they met, Lu Daixin asked him this question, and when they met today, Shen Wenhe naturally expected her to ask, and he was prepared, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Daixin, I know that you have to be decent, and I want to welcome you through the door as soon as possible, but ...... But there is a mourning in my family, and now I am still keeping filial piety, I'm afraid I can't marry you yet...... But don't worry, when the three-year filial piety period expires, I will immediately carry a sedan chair to marry you in. β
Lu Daixin has him in her heart and trusts him very much, she is also embarrassed, touched her belly, and said aggrievedly: "But my stomach is ......"
Shen Wenhe thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, you go and talk to your uncle, and say that you will go back to Fanyang first, or go to live with other relatives for a while, and then move here to raise the baby with peace of mind, and fool them first, and when the child in your belly is born, everything will be easy to say, just right, my filial piety period is only ten months left." β
Ludaisin pondered, "Is this possible?" If so......"
"You don't have to worry, everything is arranged by me for you, my business affairs are now busy, I won't leave for a few months, I will accompany you well," Shen Wenhe took Lu Daixin into his arms after speaking.
Shen Wenhe thought about it, now that Xiao Yifu has been grounded, in the next few months, he will still be free, as long as he does not go out with Lu Daixin, this matter can be kept secret, who called Lu Daixin to have his flesh and blood in his belly......
Lu Daixin couldn't stand his fancy teasing, and finally agreed, she said: "I ordered a few summer clothes in Liu Ji today, and when they sent them, I said goodbye to my uncle." β
Yuzhi led Tailor Liu back to the Hou Mansion, Xie Zheng was waiting in the room, when Tailor Liu tailored Xie Zheng, Yuzhi said to her: "Lady, the slave just saw Erlangjun on the road, and sneakily went to the eastern suburbs of the garden villa, and I don't know what to do." β
"Garden Villa in the Eastern Suburbs?" Xie Zheng was really surprised, she looked at Yuzhi suspiciously, and asked, "Can you see clearly?" Isn't it wrong? β
"The slave can see it clearly, it's Erlangjun," Yuzhi said with great certainty, Xie Zheng was naturally convinced, and she muttered, "What is he doing there?" β
"The slave doesn't know, but he is in a hurry, as if there is something urgent."
Xie Zheng thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that Huan Rang had overheard her conversation with Xiao Zhen before, and remembered that he would go out twice a day, so he became more and more suspicious, "Could it be that he secretly entered the office...... Have you ever mentioned this matter to the county marquis? β
"No," Yuzhi shook his head, and Xie Zheng instructed: "Don't tell the county marquis for the time being, I have my own arrangements for this matter." β
Tailor Liu had already measured Xie Zheng's body, the two of them were polite, Tailor Liu left, and Yuzhi told Xie Zheng about Shen Wenhe and Lu Niangzi, but Xie Zheng didn't care, and said: "Shen Wenhe's private affairs, just talk about it, don't worry about it for the time being." β
After all, Xiao Yifu is still grounded, she just wants to toss, and she can't get out of the gate of the princess's mansion.
