Chapter 289: Reply

The letter sent by the Xu family would normally be delivered to the Xi Mansion in seven or eight days, but when the reply from the Xi family came, it was already four months later.

In the past four months, Liangzhou seems to be calm and impermanent, but secretly it has undergone several changes.

Wei Li has never left here except for going to the military camp outside the city, and Bai Ying has been returning to the border camp for two months, and has not returned in the meantime.

Since the incident between him and Xi Junlan broke out, the Xi family has lived in a simple house, even if Ayu is invited, the Xu family will detain several girls' families in the courtyard.

When Bai Ying left, she made a special trip to the palace to say goodbye, but she didn't see Xi Junlan, and she was still grounded at that time.

Four months have passed, and it is unknown whether the feelings between the two have changed, the Liu family did not show his son any more, and the Xu family is also waiting for news from Pinghuai.

When the steward of the Xi family who delivered the letter returned to the palace, not long after entering the second gate, Ayu who listened to the wind courtyard got the news.

"Does that mean that the Xi family has replied to the message?"

Ayu took a sip of ginger tea to suppress the nausea in her heart, and looked at Xiao Nuan a few steps away with joy.

The woman's appearance is as always, wearing a begonia red cotton jacket, a simple cloud bun with ruby beads, childish, and a hint of mature charm in her expression.

"Niangniang, it's definitely right, it was the steward who sent the letter out at the beginning, and now I will naturally bring the letter back when I return."

Ayu nodded, "Since the news has returned, Second Lady Xu should come over to deliver the news." ”

As she spoke, she took an almond from her plate and put it in her mouth, the strong sourness diluting the spicy ginger flavor in her mouth.

"Mother, do you want something to serve in the kitchen." Xiao Nuan asked.

Ayu nodded, stretched out her hand to stroke her lower abdomen and said, "Just serve that dragon beard noodles, not too much, just a small bowl." ”

She was pregnant with her third child, and it was not long after she was diagnosed, less than three months.

Unlike the previous two times, this time the reflection is larger, mainly in terms of appetite, some can't eat, and morning sickness.

In order to take care of her, Wei Li found a few cooks outside to enter the house, and she felt better by eating less and more meals on weekdays and changing to different tastes.

Xiao Nuan lifted the curtain and asked the maid at the door to go to the kitchen to pass the word, and at this time, it happened that Ah Xue was brought over by Granny Zhou.

Xiao Nuan lifted the curtain to let the group in, Ayu saw that her daughter wanted to reach out and hug her, considering that she was pregnant, she was a little afraid to let Zhou Nanniang put her daughter on the warm couch.

"Niangniang, the eldest lady ate egg yolk and a bowl of rice cereal this morning, and her appetite feels better than yesterday......

The nurse reported to Ayu about Axue's situation, in the past, Ayu would do these things by herself, knowing that she had handed them all over to the nurse after she was pregnant.

Ah Xue, who is about to turn one year old, looks very much like Ayu, mixed with flesh, big eyes and round face, complexion like snow, and a smile as warm as the rising sun, extremely cute.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou and Ah Yu were talking, and Ah Xue slowly stood up on the kang table, babbling in her mouth, and slowly leaning on the table to her mother's side.

Ayu looked at her daughter's cute appearance and smiled, slowly pulled the little man over, turned her head and asked Xiao Nuan not far away, "Your Highness and Aqiu haven't come back yet?" ”

Yesterday, the man took his son to the barracks outside the city, saying that he was going to stay there for one night and return today.

Xiao Nuan shook her head, "Niangniang, I have already asked the concierge to be explained, if His Royal Highness and the eldest prince return, they will notify us as soon as possible." ”

"That's fine."

The master and servant chatted casually, and the noodles were sent over from the kitchen behind, and it was almost noon after Ayu finished eating.

It seems that the Xu family will not be here this morning.

Ayu didn't let people serve lunch at noon, she wasn't hungry not long after she finished eating, and she planned to eat after a lunch break.

On the side of the North Sixth Hospital, Xu Shi was not in a calm mood after reading the letter sent from home.

"I didn't expect another fight outside."

She muttered, thinking of her husband and son who had not returned home for more than two years, and her heart was so bitter.

"Madam, did you call the fourth lady over?"

The old lady beside Xu's side opened her mouth to ask, and Xu's shook her head, "Call the three girls over, the two are close, I want to see the opinions of the three girls first." ”

On the Tongyuan side, Xi Junlan also got news from Zi Ling that the steward who brought the letter four months ago came back.

"Zi Ling, is the news serious?"

Xi Junlan was a little surprised, put on her shoes, grabbed Zi Ling's shoulder and asked.

"The little maid who went out to fetch food told me, and she said that she saw it with her own eyes, and she shouldn't be able to fake it."

Xi Junlan has been grounded, and she can't go out of the courtyard, including Zi Ling, and now the people who can walk around outside are all miscellaneous maids arranged in the palace.

"Hurry up and help me change my clothes, and go to the second aunt to have a look."

Xi Junlan wanted to know the result as soon as possible, but Zi Ling pulled her with an embarrassed face, "Miss, you are still grounded." ”

Zi Ling was punished last time, kneeling for a day and a night, and now that she thinks about it, her knees still hurt faintly, but she doesn't dare to indulge her at will.

Xi Junlan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then let's wait here." ”

She didn't toss, and Zi Ling's heart was a little calm.

"Miss, then you will sleep, there is news, I will call you again."

"I've been waiting for so long, and finally I've come to believe how I can sleep."

After the excitement, her mood was a little low at this time, and she was afraid that it would be bad news.

"Miss, don't think too much about it."

Zi Ling saw that she was uneasy and opened her mouth to comfort.

Xi Junlan sighed, "I'll go to bed, you can go to bed, and call me again if you have something." ”

As she spoke, she went to the inner room, and did not let Zi Ling come to serve.

Zi Ling didn't want to disturb her, and quickly retreated.

After Xi Junlan left, she sneaked to the dresser and took out a letter from the bottom of the makeup box.

The letter has been read too many times, the surface has been creased, and the three words Jun Lanqi on the envelope are not well written. Bai Ying is a beginner in literacy, and she is like a child who has just been enlightened, but in Xi Junlan's eyes, she is affectionate and tender.

This was written to her by Bai Ying when she was leaving, and it was handed in through the hand of the little maid in the outer courtyard, and even Zi Ling didn't know about it.

There is not much content in it, but it has kept Xi Junlan's affection until now.

The man said that he would live up to his life, even if he went to the barracks, he believed that he would have the same state of mind as himself at this time.

Xi Junlan took out the letter paper and looked at it again, and gently pressed it on her chest, only to feel that there was a pool of clear water in her heart.

At that time, Xi Junmei left Xu's courtyard and went straight to Tongyuan with two maids.

Xi Junlan had just put the letter back when Zi Ling hurriedly came in from outside and shouted, "Miss, Miss, the third miss is here." ”

"The third sister is here, then please hurry."

Thinking of what she had just done, Xi Junlan's expression was a little unnatural, and she asked Zi Ling to help her tidy up her clothes and greet her sister at the door.
