For three days in a row, Aunt Luo would appear on time in Fangzhi Courtyard every morning, noon and evening to serve Xiao Ji's diet and daily life.

When Tong Changqing first saw Aunt Luo hanging her head to serve Xiao Ji's meal, she gave her a strange look and asked casually, "Why are you here?" ”

When Aunt Luo heard this, she showed a shy smile, and timidly glanced at Xiao Ji, who was sitting on the side, and said, "The concubine is here to serve the wife." ”

Tong Changqing looked at Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji hurriedly explained: "Yes, yes, I agreed to her coming." ”

Tong Changqing didn't say anything more.

It's just that when he was eating, Aunt Luo stood beside him intentionally or unintentionally, poured tea for him, and her plain white wrist stretched out from the moon-white sleeves, and a faint fragrance of plum blossoms floated into his nose, making him think of a person in a trance, and couldn't help but look at Aunt Luo again, and met her shy and timid, affectionate eyes.

That night, Tong Changqing rested in Ziwei Courtyard.

When Tong Jiayan learned the news, he was making a soothing tea in the room.

Qingju whispered: "I heard that there was still water in the middle of the night last night." ”

provoked a surprised glance from Tong Jiayan and Lu Wu.

Qingju scratched his head inexplicably: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Lu Wu's face was slightly red: "Where did you hear about it?" ”

Qingju said: "I heard the little maid in the wife's courtyard say, what's wrong?" Any questions? ”

Luwu: "...... No problem. "If you ask any more, there will be a problem.

Tong Jiayan stood up and said, "Bring the soothing tea I just made, and let's go to Fangzhi Courtyard." ”

Even the little maid in Fangzhi Courtyard had heard about it, and Xiao Ji must have already known that Ziwei Courtyard still needed water in the middle of the night, so she wanted to go and see it.

Tong Jiayan went to Fangzhi Courtyard, and Xiao Ji's two big maids, Juan Bi and Ruizhu, were guarding the door, and there was no one else around.

Seeing Tong Jiayan coming over, Juan Bi wanted to go in and report it, but was silently stopped by Qingju who came quickly, and when she turned around, Tong Jiayan waved her hand and walked in by herself.

Qingju smiled on his face, showing a flattering look.

Juan Bi nodded her forehead, glanced at Ruizhu, and finally stood at the door honestly.

When Tong Jiayan entered, no one was there in the bright room, but there was a thin voice in the east room.

She walked behind the screen and heard Mama Zhou's worried voice sound: "Madam, if you are really uncomfortable, why don't you invite a doctor to come in and take a look?" ”

Xiao Ji's voice sounded weakly: "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night, grandma don't worry about me, you don't need to ask a doctor to come." ”

Mama Zhou knew that it must be related to the one in Ziwei Courtyard, and she was also a little angry in her heart: "I didn't see it, just under our noses, she could make her succeed." It's only the third day, and she dares to send someone to say that she slept too late last night and can't get up in the morning, so if she doesn't come, she is relying on the master's momentum to show us! ”

Xiao Ji's heart was gloomy, and he smiled reluctantly: "Mama, don't say this outside, if people hear it, I, how should I see people." "How can there be a housewife who still eats the vinegar of the concubine's room.

Mama Zhou disagreed: "Mrs., you are too good at talking, so you will let her ride on your head." ”

Xiao Ji waved his hand: "This is the case in every family, I already knew it, but for a while, I still can't adapt to it, and I will get used to it in the future...... It will be fine later. ”

Xiao Ji comforted himself in his heart, the master is still good, and there is only one Aunt Luo in the room besides her.

Some families have six, seven, or eight concubines in their homes.

Tong Jiayan listened silently for a while, and only after there was no sound inside did he shout: "Mother, are you up?" ”

"Here comes the good word?" Xiao Ji's surprised voice came out, and then she walked out of it.

"Why did you come so early? Have you eaten yet? ”

Tong Jiayan smiled and held Xiao Ji's hand affectionately: "No, I'll come to eat with my mother." ”

Xiao Ji nodded happily: "Okay, then you can eat with me here, it just so happens that I haven't eaten yet." "Turn your head and go to explain to Mama Zhou," Jiayan likes to eat crystal shrimp and soup dumplings, Mama, you go and talk to the kitchen." ”

Tong Jiayan followed: "Mother likes to eat fried dumplings, and Mama, remember to say hello to the kitchen." ”

I actually remember what I like to eat, which means that I have put myself in my heart.

Xiao Ji happily touched Tong Jiayan's face and took her to sit down at the table.

Tong Jiayan noticed that Xiao Ji's eyes were a little blue, obviously because he didn't have a good rest last night. She wanted to make her happy, so after eating, she proposed, "Mother, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

Xiao Ji was surprised: "Go out?" ”

"Hmm." Tong Jiayan nodded, "It's okay to go shopping on the street or go to the White Horse Temple to worship the Buddha." As she spoke, she showed her little daughter's coquettishness, "I haven't hung out with my mother yet." There was yearning and envy in his eyes.

Hearing her say this, Xiao Ji was distressed and even more self-blaming, and couldn't wait for her to agree to anything, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll go and ask your grandmother for advice, you wait for me here."

Seeing that Xiao Ji was going to ask Mrs. Tong, Tong Jiayan said that he wanted to accompany her.

It happened that Tong Jianian woke up at this time, so Xiao Ji asked her to take care of Tong Jianian, and she hurriedly went to Songhe Courtyard.

In the Songhe Courtyard, the second wife was talking to the old lady.

"My mother said that she hadn't seen Jiayao and Yijie for a long time, and wanted me to take them back to see if I had time." The second lady sat under the old lady, peeling oranges for the old lady, and said with a smile, "Mother, when do you think it is appropriate for me to go back?" ”

Mrs. Tong glanced at her with her eyelids down: "When will you come back to your parents' house and ask me?" ”

The second wife smiled and said: "Of course, I listen to my mother so much, and I will reply whenever my mother asks me to reply." As he spoke, he skimmed a petal of oranges and ate it himself, and then fed another petal to Mrs. Tong's mouth, "Mother, I have tried, it's not sour, you can taste it." ”

After Xiao Ji came in, he saw that the second wife was also there, and she was talking to the old lady, so she stood aside and waited.

Mrs. Tong took the time to glance at her and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Xiao Ji just walked out and replied: "I want to take Jiayan out for a walk." ”

Mrs. Tong glanced at the second lady again: "Why can't one or two of them stay at home, right?" ”

The second lady smiled and got up, not afraid of the old lady: "Where is this, I can't stay still." If I can't transform, I can't wait to get into your pocket and stay by your side all the time! ”

Mrs. Tong was amused by her: "You have told you all the good and bad things!" ”

The second wife grinned and said coquettishly: "That's what my mother is used to when you love me." Who doesn't envy me in Jinling for having a good mother-in-law! The tone was proud.

Xiao Ji looked envious from the sidelines.

Somehow, when she saw Mrs. Tong, she was worried, and it was difficult to say a word.

Unlike the second wife, she can still behave coquettishly in front of the old lady, and she can speak well.
