Chapter 466: Pulling the Strings from It
On this day, not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shuzhou, the news came from the capital that Concubine Jia gave birth to the little prince safely.
In the afternoon, Tianxianglou was basically busy, Shang Kelan leaned on the chair in the lobby with a big belly and looked at the announcement, her eyes were a little obscure.
She was wearing a lilac wide-sleeved long skirt, covered with a long embroidered gown of the same color, her hair was neatly combed, and she wore a white jade carved hairpin on her head, her face was ruddy and delicate, and she looked in good spirits.
"What are you looking at?"
At this time, a magnetic and gentle voice sounded from his ears, Shang Kelan subconsciously put away the notice in his hand, raised her eyes and smiled at him: "It's nothing, are there any mooncakes left in the kitchen?" I'm going to take it with me and give it to the poor kids on West Street. ”
The person who came was Wei Chi, who was wearing an ink-colored gown, which made his figure even longer and looked heroic.
He didn't seem to notice Shang Kelan's small movements, just sat down opposite her, handed her the account book, and said gently: "Don't worry, I have already asked Aunt Su and Zirui to do these things, but when I met Yu Niang two days ago, she asked me about you, saying that you were from a merchant family before?" ”
"If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that this Tianxianglou would have closed down long ago in the hands of ordinary people, how could there be a reason to become more and more prosperous."
After Shang Kelan launched a series of new dishes and preferential schemes, more and more people came to eat at Tianxianglou, and the second and third floors were often popular places for rich children, and there was basically no deficit in Tianxianglou's account books.
Hearing what Wei Chi said, Shang Kelan couldn't help but shake her head and smile, lowered her eyes to look at the child in her belly and said to Wei Chi: "Concubine Jia gave birth to a child and named her Tianyou, but I haven't thought of the name of this child yet." ”
Wei Chi can be said to be watching this little guy grow up in Shang Kelan's belly day by day, listening to Shang Kelan talk about the child's name, he also became interested, and after a thoughtful glance at Shang Kelan's bulging abdomen, he proposed softly: "The big name can not be thought about for the time being, we can give the child a small name first." ”
"If it's a girl, it's good to take a more elegant one, and if it's a boy, it's okay to take an auspicious one."
At this time, a middle-aged woman and a man in a lake-green robe walked in one after another, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Shang Kelan raised her eyes and looked at them, and when she saw them, she greeted them with a smile: "Aunt Su, Zirui, why did you come back so soon?" ”
Lu Zirui had a look of grievance on his face, and sat down next to Shang Kelan sullenly.
Aunt Su sighed and said with emotion: "These children are really amazing, Zirui and I took three hundred mooncakes to West Street to divide, but those children didn't need us to do it, and they were all snatched by themselves." ”
Wei Chi on the side looked at Lu Zirui and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with that Zirui, why does he look so wronged?" ”
Lu Zirui lowered his head and didn't speak, and Aunt Su explained: "Hey, the piece of moon cake he was holding in his hand was left to him by Miss Lan two days ago, but he was snatched away by the child before he held it steadily, and he was unhappy until now." ”
"That kid, I, don't like it!"
Lu Zirui raised his face and said angrily, but his voice was very heavy, which gave people a funny feeling.
Seeing him like this, Shang Kelan couldn't help but laugh a little, listened quietly, and didn't speak, even Wei Chi couldn't help but chuckle. Cow Bar Literature Network
Aunt Su talks a lot, her voice is refreshing, and everyone likes to listen to her, but as soon as Aunt Su's voice fell, she subconsciously looked at Shang Kelan's abdomen, slowed down her voice and asked, "Miss Lan, I see your situation, you should be about to give birth, right?" Why don't I go find a midwife for you and prepare first? ”
She is actually very grateful to Shang Kelan, if it weren't for Shang Kelan's appearance, she wouldn't know that her stupid son has such a great ability, and he won't be able to live without food and clothing after leaving the Lu Mansion, so Aunt Su is also very worried about Shang Kelan's affairs, and she is completely doing it as her own business.
Before Shang Kelan could answer, Wei Chi had already replied: "I have already arranged these things in advance, and I used to be in the palace...... When I was in the house, I saw what a woman should prepare when she was pregnant. ”
Wei Chi has always been very reliable, in Tianxiang Building, he is the best craft, the most handsome chef, and because of the perennial dealing with swords, his knife work is also very good, all the arrangements designed by Shang Kelan, he can be particularly perfect restoration, which also makes Yu Chi quite famous in the East Street area.
And he also did what he said, after being with Shang Kelan, he never returned to the rivers and lakes to resume his old business, and even rarely made a move, only occasionally practiced boxing in the yard, Aunt Su and Lu Zirui didn't understand how strong his martial arts were, but felt that he should have some skills.
After Wei Chi finished speaking, Aunt Su looked at him with relief and said, "Xiao Wei is thoughtful and careful with Miss Lan, why don't you let Aunt tell you about family affairs?" ”
Wei Chi was stunned for a moment, in the rivers and lakes for so many years, it was the first time he met someone who wanted to say kiss to him, which of those people in the past didn't hide far away when they saw him?
But he's still a little different now, and he has more smiles on his face than before.
As soon as Aunt Su's words fell, Shang Kelan's eyes also fell on Yu Chi's face at this time, with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Suddenly, Wei Chi'er's roots quickly dyed a little pink, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Aunt Su doesn't need it, don't bother, I'm not in a hurry about this matter." ”
When Aunt Su heard this, she was not happy, and explained: "This is a lifelong event in your life, how can you not be in a hurry?" I know you're afraid of bothering me, but my aunt doesn't bother, don't be polite to me, go to Yicui Lake tomorrow, just watch me arrange it for you. ”
"As far as I know, although these girls are not all from big families, they are all girls with innocent family backgrounds and good looks and personalities!"
Aunt Su said, deliberately glanced at Shang Kelan's direction with her peripheral vision, and saw Shang Kelan lower her head, put her hand against her mouth, her brows furrowed slightly, and Aunt Su showed a smile in her eyes.
Wei Chi was a little difficult to refuse Aunt Su's enthusiasm, and hesitated: "But I really haven't thought about it yet......
He has long been accustomed to the life of walking the world alone with a sword, how can he really go on a blind date with another woman? Besides, if the other party knew his identity, I was afraid that he would still be implicated, and Wei Chi didn't want to harm the innocent.
Aunt Su got up and pulled Wei Chi and said: "Let's go, I happened to hang some portraits of women on the second floor, you go with me to see, what type do you like, Auntie will introduce you to what type!"
As she spoke, she gave Wei Chi a look, which made Wei Chi wonder in his heart: Could it be that Aunt Su has something to tell him?
So, Wei Chi nodded to her and walked to the second floor with Aunt Su.
As soon as they left, Shang Kelan downstairs let go of her hand and couldn't help retching with an ugly face.
Lu Zirui was startled, sat in place and looked at her with wide eyes and said, "Miss Lan, you, what's wrong?" ”
Shang Kelan stroked her neck, shook her head and said, "No, I just passed by a swill truck outside, I couldn't smell the smell, and I was a little nauseous for a while." ”
