Two months later, Jiang Chen returned to Chongshan Town, and as soon as he came back, he was pointed at by the villagers, and Jiang Chen roughly guessed that it should be Hua Ning's pregnancy. The two of them have a close relationship on weekdays, and it is not surprising that those who do good things slander.

Jiang Chen has always regarded himself very highly, so he is the most dismissive of the gossip of these villains, and he is too lazy to care.

When he returned home, his mother Aunt Jiang was cooking in front of the stove, and Hua Ning was standing aside, her belly was already bulging, looking a little bulky, and she was eating a carrot in her hand.

Seeing him come back, Hua Ning said, "My brother is back." ”

Aunt Jiang also hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand, wiped the water on her hands indiscriminately, and hurriedly checked Jiang Chen up and down, and said, "Chen'er is back, how is it?" ”

Jiang Chen shook his head, Aunt Jiang thought that there was no high school, so she was a little disappointed, but she instantly hid the loss, patted his arm with her hand, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'll take the exam later." ”

Aunt Jiang hurriedly put her son's burden next, pushed the two of them into the back room, and said, "You guys talk for a while, I'll go buy some vegetables and come back, and I'll cook you a good meal in the evening." With that, he went out with the basket.

There were only two people left in the room, Jiang Chen and Hua Ning, Hua Ning noticed his gaze, and hurriedly put the hand holding the carrot behind her back, and said with a little shame on her face: "I don't know what's going on, I've always been hungry lately, and the amount of food has increased several times, but I still have to eat, so my brother can see it, it's really embarrassing, am I fat?" ”

Jiang Chen smiled: "No, no, you are now one person and two people, you should eat more." ”

Hua Ning took out another carrot and nibbled on two more bites, and said, "Didn't the letter say that I would come back in three months, why did I come back in only two months?" Did I make a mistake? ”

Jiang Chen was tired all the way, so he sat down on the bed and said, "No, it was true that I could not return to my hometown until three months, but some changes happened later." You shouldn't know that now that His Majesty has passed away, the national funeral will not be able to take the imperial examination for the past three years, and it seems that it will have to be delayed for another three years. ”

With a "bang", Jiang Chen looked over in response, the carrot in Hua Ning's hand fell to the ground, her face was a little pale, and she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

Jiang Chen hurriedly got up and picked up the carrots for her, and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Hua Ning took the carrot and said a little stunned: "That...... Who succeeded him? ”

"Naturally, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Is it the crown prince? When Hua Ning was in the palace, she naturally heard about the disagreement between Shen Xian Key and the prince, and now that the prince succeeds to the throne, I don't know what will happen to him, thinking of this, Hua Ning's eyes turned red, and she was about to cry when she saw it.

Jiang Chen was a little puzzled and said, "Is there anything wrong with the crown prince succeeding to the throne?" ”

Hua Ning shook her head, her hands unconsciously touched her bulging lower abdomen, and said in her heart: Child, what should I do, will he be persecuted by the prince.

She regretted a little why she had to leave the palace at that time, even if she had to leave the capital after leaving the palace, at least it was good to protect him by his side, even if she could only watch from afar.

Seeing her so uncomfortable, Jiang Chen was also panicked in his heart, and said, "Hua Ning, do you have any relationship with the prince?" ”

Hua Ning shook her head and said, "If there is anything else important, tell me about it." ”

Jiang Chen thought for a while and said: "I also heard people say it in the market, it seems that the third prince forced the palace to come, and then the prince sent troops to suppress it, by the way, it seems to say that the prince of the Yue Wangfu also made a lot of efforts." ”

"Yue Wangfu?" Hua Ning grabbed his sleeve and said in a panic.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Yes, the prince of the Yue Palace, I also heard that the crown prince executed the third prince because of that prince, Ling Chi, died a miserable death." ”

Hua Ning didn't understand a little, didn't she say that Shen Xian Key and the Three Princes were in the same party? Why did he help the prince again, but this made Hua Ning feel at ease, if he could follow the prince, there would be no danger.

Jiang Chen looked at her reaction and said, "Hua Ning, do you know that prince?" ”

Hua Ning came back to her senses and smiled: "Yes, he was kind to me, I ...... in my heart Just be grateful to him. ”

Jiang Chen nodded, it turned out that this was the case, and he continued: "Then you can rest assured, that prince is very good, I heard before I left that he was going to marry the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Don't you know that Miss Xiangfu is beautiful, this prince is really lucky. ”

Is he going to marry Mo Xiaoxue? Hua Ning smiled bitterly, it seemed that she had long forgotten her, and it was also true that she was just a temporary freshness for him. The hand on the stomach couldn't help but tremble, isn't this the ending that I have thought of a long time ago? Could it be that he still thinks that he forgives himself? A person like him is beautiful and noble, which is not what she can imagine.

This is also very good, Mo Xiaoxue is a good girl, and she is indeed worthy of him.

"Hua Ning, Hua Ning, what are you in a daze?"

It wasn't until Jiang Chen shook his hand in front of her eyes that she came back to her senses and said, "I'm fine, I'm just standing for a long time and I'm a little tired." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen hurriedly helped her sit down on the bed and said, "Look at you, your body is so heavy, you can't take care of it well, how can it be good if you have tire gas." ”

Hua Ning smiled and said: "How can I be so squeamish, my body has been sinking in the past few days, and I am a little inconvenient to move, so my godmother will clean up your house for me to live." I've messed up your room, so don't be angry, brother. ”

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "How can you be so easy to get angry, besides, you are in a special situation now, you should take good care of it, you don't have to worry about me, just live here with peace of mind, I will go to your house to live." ”

Hua Ning's eyes darkened, and said, "No need, since you are back, I can't stay at your house, so that people can see the gossip." I'm already like this, but I can't burden you, and asking others to poke your backbone is not good-looking after all. ”

"Why bother with those, we are brother and sister now, you don't treat me as an outsider, they like to talk about it, so let them go, I'm a big man, do I still care about what reputation or not?"

said so, but Hua Ning couldn't really do this, and moved out of Jiang's house that night. After returning to her cabin, Hua Ning felt that she had adapted to living with Aunt Jiang in the past few days, and now she was alone again, and she was a little reluctant in her heart.

Fortunately, the two families are not far away, and they can still walk back and forth during the day.

Soon it was the day of Hua Ning's birth, it was really earth-shattering, Aunt Jiang invited two stable women back, Hua Ning was the first child, and it was very hard to give birth. Halfway through, she fainted in pain two or three times, and she tossed for a day and a night before she could easily hear the cry that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Hua Ning was lying on the bed, there was no strength left, Aunt Jiang wrapped the child and sent it to the bed to show her, Hua Ning cried on the spot, she said, "What...... Why is it so ugly? ”

Aunt Jiang was amused by her, wiped her tears, and said: "Children are so ugly when they are born, and they look good when they grow up, how can anyone in this world think that the children they gave birth to are ugly?" ”

Hua Ning didn't know if her godmother's words could be trusted, and she felt a little sad in her heart, it was a pity that this child didn't inherit Shen Xiankey's beauty.

After a while, she remembered and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?" ”

Aunt Jiang said: "You are blessed, you are a big fat boy, quickly give the child a name." ”

Hua Ning actually wants a girl, girls will be more well-behaved, what if this child does not have Shen Xiankey's beauty, but also has Shen Xiankey's bad temper? Thinking of this, Hua Ning felt very uncomfortable, this child is now stuffed back and given birth again, can she become a beautiful girl?

Aunt Jiang was stunned when she saw her, and called her again: "What's the matter?" Come and choose a name for your child. ”

"Oh, take a name," Hua Ning was a little absent-minded, what should I choose? After thinking about it, she came up with a simple one, she said: "Let's call it Hua Yue." "It has the sound of Shen Qiankey's name with her surname, which is a good name.

When Aunt Jiang heard this, she said: "It's not good, it's not good, Huayue, Huayue, like a girl, how is this good?" ”

Hua Ning pursed her mouth and said, "Just to make up for the regret that I didn't give birth to a daughter, it's called this name." ”

Aunt Jiang scolded her, but the name was decided.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, Hua Yue is three years old, and the money that Hua Ning brought out from the palace is almost spent, so he has no choice but to continue to work as coolies. During the day, she handed over Hua Yue to the godmother to take care of, and in the evening, she took the child home after eating at the godmother's house.

Xiaohua Yue did not live up to Hua Ning's expectations, she was very well-behaved and sensible, unlike Shen Xiankey, who was always angry. Hua Ning was relieved that this child looked five points similar to Shen Qiankey after he grew up, so it seemed that Hua Yue inherited both Shen Qiankey's beauty and her meekness.

It was getting dark that day, and Hua Ning waited for the foreman to settle the money and go home as usual. Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance, and Hua Ning also looked over lively, as if it was a beautifully decorated carriage.

Chongshan Town is a small place, such a beautiful carriage should be the master of a large family, it is rare to see it on weekdays, so everyone has a discussion. Hua Ning is also a person who has entered the capital, and she thinks that it seems that the carriage in Shen Xiankey's house is also so beautiful.

The foreman gave Hua Ning money, Hua Ning took it into his arms, rode his horse and went to the market, thinking that now that Hua Yue was growing his body, he would simply buy a hen to make up for him. Just do it, Hua Ning went to the market with a smile on her face, and when she passed by the carriage, Hua Ning couldn't help but take a few glances at that place, it was really extraordinary.

Vaguely heard someone calling her, she turned around and saw a group of people in Wuyangyang, Hua Ning shook her head, she must have heard it wrong. When I arrived at the market, I bought a hen and bought a fish, the hen was more troublesome to deal with, I ate the fish tonight, and tomorrow I called the godmother to give Huayue stewed chicken soup and drank it.

I didn't forget to buy some hay and put it on horseback. Suddenly, I heard that there was a seller of sour jujube cakes, so Hua Ning bought another pack of sour jujube cakes and put them in her arms.

This child is really similar to Shen Qiankey, he doesn't like sweet, he likes sour, he likes some sour jujube cakes, sugar hawthorn or something. When eating sugar hawthorn, you have to leave the sugar and eat only the hawthorn.

Thinking of this, Hua Ning showed a doting smile on her face.

Hua Ning rode to the entrance of the town and saw that the carriage was blocking the intersection, and it was tightly blocked, Hua Ning looked at the gap, and it was really difficult to ride a horse past, so she got off the horse and said, "Let me go." ”

The curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, revealing a peerless face, with a pair of peach blossom eyes with a pool of tears. Who else could such a beautiful person be besides Shen Qiankey?

Hua Ning was a little stunned, she didn't expect to meet him in such a place, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and after a while, Hua Ning said in a low voice: "Wang ...... Lord, what a coincidence. ”

A tear fell from the man's eyes, and he puffed up his anger and said, "Where is the coincidence? You ungrateful, bad woman. ”

It's been almost four years, and he still hates her? I remembered that Jiang Chen said three years ago that he was going to marry Mo Xiaoxue, and now the two should have been married. Thinking about it this way, he shouldn't mind that, so is he...... Angry that she stole his silver?

Thinking about it like this, Hua Ning felt reasonable and said, "Lord Wang, I will return the money to you." ”

Shen Xian was stunned by what she said, what money? suddenly felt that she wanted to change the topic, so she was even more angry and said: "You don't want to avoid the important and escape responsibility." ”

Hua Ning said with some difficulty: "I know, but I really can't take out that much money now." ”

It should have been possible, but raising a son is really too expensive, although Hua Yue doesn't eat much, but he eats expensively. This kid has nothing else wrong with it, but he is a picky eater, and all the money she earns every day buys snacks for him. In this case, he is also half responsible.

Hua Ning wanted to say this, but thinking that Shen Xian Jian should have married Mo Xiaoxue, and now she has made a son dryly, isn't this just to block the young couple of others. Thinking like this, it's better not to talk about it.

"You ......" Shen Xian Key was speechless by her anger, and only held back a sentence for a while, "Go back with me." ”

"Huh? I can't go back with you, I have to go home, lord, I have the money in the future, I will definitely return it to you, really. Then he got on his horse and rode through the gap he had seen before, but fortunately the horse was not fat, and just passed.

Shen Xian Jian was so angry that he was about to lose his breath, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, catch up with me." ”

The carriage chased the horse until it reached the entrance of the village, Hua Ning was worried that Shen Xian Key would find out about Hua Yue, so she hurriedly dismounted and stopped him, saying, "Lord Wang, don't ...... Don't come along. ”

The man got out of the carriage and said aggrievedly, "What do you mean? ”

Hua Ning remembered his eyes, which meant to tell her to coax him, but now Hua Ning was reluctant to do so, after all, he was a married woman, so that others could see what might come out. In the past few years, Hua Ning knows very well how terrible those people's saliva is, and she doesn't want Shen Xian to be poked in the back.

Hua Ning paused and said, "Lord Wang, you better go back, I really have to go home." ”

Shen Xian Jian suddenly thought of something, and shouted with red eyes: "Are you ...... Are you already married to someone else? That's why you're in a hurry to go home, you're buying a man again, aren't you? ”

What, how could he think that?

Hua Ning said: "I didn't buy a man, I just ...... It's just that we are lonely men and widows, and it's really not easy to get close, so that people can see gossiping. ”

Shen Xian Key was furious and said, "Why didn't you think about gossip when you went to me, and when you talked to me at this time, do you want to be angry with me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was not only Hua Ning who was stunned, but also the dark guard Mu Chan who was driving, Mu Chan couldn't help but shiver, and said in his heart: What did I hear just now? It's over, it's over, will I be killed?

Hua Ning didn't expect him to be able to say it out loud like this, her face was a little unbearable, and she thought that it would be endless if it went on like this, so she didn't return to him, turned around and led the horse home. Shen Xianjian waved his hand, told Mu Chan to wait at the entrance of the village, and followed himself.

Hua Ning's ear strength has always been outstanding, so he could naturally hear his footsteps, and after walking for a while, he turned around and shouted, "Shen Xiankey, don't follow me." ”

The man burst into tears and said in disbelief, "You yelled at me? ”

Hua Ning couldn't see him crying, so she stopped looking at him and went home by herself.

Shen Qiankey felt aggrieved in her heart, she used to rush to comfort him when she saw him crying, but now she doesn't even look at him, she doesn't love him anymore.

Thinking like this in my heart, my body is still very honest, and my feet follow her.
