Pearl Ben was sleeping in the small room outside the bedroom, but when she was half asleep and half awake, she suddenly heard Xiaoman screaming, she didn't even care about putting on her coat, so she ran over wearing only her middle coat.

As a result, when she came over, she saw that Xiao was sweating profusely, still crying and struggling, she was very panicked, and thought that the other party was unwell.

"It's okay, I'm just ..... It's just a nightmare. Xiao Man took the handkerchief sent by the pearl and wiped the sweat and tears from his face indiscriminately, "You go to rest first, I'll take it slowly." ”

That dream was so real, so real that Xiaoman still can't believe it.

If Lu Li is really defeated, then ......

"Madam, I'd better stay with you first, and I'll go back when you're asleep." Pearls are not at ease.

Xiao Man didn't have so much energy to dwell on these at this time, she nodded, and immediately lay back down, and after tossing and turning a few times, she fell asleep again.

It was said that the pearl who waited for Xiaoman to go back when he fell asleep was never at ease, so he kept her quietly all night, until the next day when the east revealed the white belly of the fish, and the pearl blew out the candle and rubbed her sore neck to go back to rest.

And it wasn't until the window was shining through the light that Xiaoman woke up in a daze, she thought back to the dream last night, and she always felt unsteady in her heart.

But now that Lu Li has not returned, and there has been no letter from the north for a long time, the emperor has not let people go to the battlefield to deliver the letter, how can she go to find someone to help her deliver the letter?

And it was a dangerous battlefield, and no one dared to go to such a place except for the soldiers who specialized in contact.

Therefore, Xiao Man had to sigh and dispel this unrealizable idea.

Served and washed by the maids, Pearl set up the screen and prepared to help Xiaoman change his clothes.

But because of the fact that the belly is bigger, the original clothes are a little unwearable, and they can still be put on improvised, but now they are even struggling to tie the buttons.

"Madam, I'll help you measure it again, and let the garment shop help you make a few more clothes, right?" Pearl offers.

Xiao Man frowned, looked at himself in the floor dressing mirror, thought about it, and said, "Forget it, you bring the needle and thread, I'll change it myself, don't bother them." ”

The business of the ready-to-wear shop is getting better and better, and she can't be busy making clothes for customers every day, so why should she go to make trouble for them, not to mention that the child is still a few months away, and it is not worth wasting financial resources.

Pearl sighed secretly in her heart when she heard this, but she also had to respond to the master's request, "Okay, then wear this moon-white loose dress today, and then change it after dinner." ”

The people of Bishui Village have already had breakfast and gone out to play, according to yesterday's agreement, Aunt Yang should have had breakfast with Xiaoman, but the DNA hasn't come out today for some reason, Xiaoman couldn't help but ask casually: "Why didn't Aunt Yang come, didn't she get up yet?" ”

"I'll take a look." Jade took the initiative to ask for help.

Out of the dining room, Jade walked around the house where the few servants lived, and then went to the backyard.

The backyard was quiet, Jade frowned, and when she looked around, she couldn't help but open the curtain and enter the house, the house was empty, and she called twice but no one answered.

Where did this man go?

"Sister Jade, who are you looking for?" A young girl suddenly appeared at the door, with a brittle voice, and she looked like she was only in her teens.

Jade coughed lightly, "Do you know where Aunt Yang in this house is?" It was yesterday that I went out with my wife, the short and thin Aunt Yang, do you have any impression? ”

The little girl smiled, "The people in this house have gone out to play all morning, and Aunt Yang and Aunt Li have all gone out." ”

"Out?" Emerald frowned.

"That's right, in the morning, after they had eaten, Brother Zhang Qi took them out of the house to play, what's the matter, Sister Jade doesn't know?"

What's going on, didn't you say okay to go to the store? Why did Aunt Yang break the contract?

Mrs. Yang was still waiting for her, thinking about her, and let herself come to see it, it turned out that Aunt Yang couldn't endure hardship, so she went out to play with everyone!

Jade was very angry for a while, and broke the curtain and went to the dining room in the front yard angrily, with a black face, as if someone owed her a few hundred taels of silver.

"What's wrong? Can you find Aunt Yang? Xiao Man put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked sideways.

Jade was depressed in her heart, originally thinking that Xiaoman was still eating, so she didn't dare to say it, for fear of disturbing her appetite, but now that the other party took the initiative to ask, she didn't have so many scruples.

She snorted fiercely, and said everything word for word, and then indignant: "Madam, you are so good to Aunt Yang, and you still want her to go to the store to help, but she can't bear these hardships, and she went out to play with the people in the same village early in the morning, and she didn't even give Mrs. a message, so you are still waiting for her here!" It's really a good heart! '

Xiao Man couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the Aunt Yang in his impression has never been such a person, how can he ...... today?

But yesterday I clearly agreed with her that I would eat together in the dining room and then go to the store together, how did she break her promise?

"Madam, isn't Aunt Yang in a hurry? There are so many people in this house suddenly, and the girls below can't recognize all of them, maybe it's a bad sight. Pearl persuaded, "Otherwise, go back to the bedroom first, and I'll go out and see what's going on." ”

Xiaoman nodded, "It's okay." ”

Back in the bedroom, help Xiao Man bring all the needlework work, looking at Xiao Man bowing his head and changing his clothes, Jade was still angry in her heart, she wanted to say something more, but the pearl on the side called her, she had to swallow her indignation, and went out with the pearl.

Out of the room, in the courtyard, Jade angrily shook off Pearl's hand, "What are you asking me to come out for?" I haven't said enough yet! ”

"Did you see that Aunt Yang go out to play?" Pearl didn't speak, just looked at her fixedly, and asked such a sentence.

Emerald blinked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Pearl chuckled, "You didn't see it with your own eyes, how do you know that Aunt Yang is out to play?" Jade, in the future, there is no evidence of such a thing, but you can't talk nonsense in front of Madame, and she will be angry. ”

"But... But I heard from the girl, and she said she saw it, and I—"

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Yang's voice suddenly came from behind him: "The two girls are talking here!" Xiaomanke has had breakfast, am I late? ”

Hearing this, Jade turned around angrily, and had long forgotten all what Pearl had said before to Java, she looked at Aunt Yang angrily, and asked: "What are you doing, you obviously said that you would go to the store together, but you are gone!" It's embarrassing to keep our wife waiting so long! ”

"This ......" Aunt Yang was stunned.

Seeing this, Pearl hurriedly took Jade's hand, dragged the person behind him, and then said to Aunt Yang with a smile: "Madam is waiting for you in the bedroom, go quickly." ”

Aunt Yang was puzzled, but still handed the cloth bag in her hand to Pearl.

Looking at the unknown wild vegetables in the cloth bag, Pearl couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" ”

"This is what I bought at the market early in the morning, we all call it doll leaves, blanch it and mix it coldly, Xiaoman must love to eat, this thing is good for children, and it also has a calming effect on pregnant women, but this thing is not easy to buy, I thought it was only available in Taoyuan County, but I found out that Shangjing also has it this morning, so I specially bought some for Xiaoman to eat."

It turned out that she had heard that Xiao Man had a nightmare last night, so she thought about buying some of these things to calm Xiao Man.

It's just that later......

Forget it, it's okay not to mention those things, anyway, she has to settle in Shangjing, and it's not worth being angry with those people.

Aunt Yang smiled innocently, but Jade was embarrassed, her face was hot, but she knew how to apologize, she thought for a moment, and took out all the copper coins in her arms, "Auntie, you went out to buy vegetables in the morning, this is vegetable money." ”

"No, no, no, this thing isn't valuable, girl, don't-"

Seeing that she didn't accept it, Jade directly stuffed the money into her arms, "You just accept it!" ”

Seeing that the pearl on the side also motioned for her to accept it with her eyes, Aunt Yang reluctantly accepted the money, and then said goodbye to the two of them, and hurriedly went to the bedroom.

Xiao Man in the bedroom is modifying her clothes, in fact, this is not a difficult thing, but she is pregnant now, Xia Wanrou is afraid of tiring her, so she is clearly forbidden to do these things, and even the maids and others in the house have also been ordered not to let Xiao Man do these troublesome things easily.

Even Xiao Man wanted to make some close-fitting clothes for the child herself, but Xia Wanrou didn't agree, saying that she had already prepared these things, and she didn't need to be tired.

But now it's different, Xia Wanrou is busy taking care of the store, and her clothes are really unwearable, so Pearl and the others took out needlework and other things, and asked her to do some small work to modify clothes.

"Xiaoman, I'm really sorry, I'm late, and you waited for me for so long in vain."

As soon as he heard Aunt Yang's voice, Xiao Man hurriedly put away the embroidery work and raised his head, "Auntie, you are here." ”

Aunt Yang sighed, full of apologies, "It's all my fault, I didn't leave you a letter when I went out in the morning, so I made you wait for me for so long, but this Shangjing is really big, I almost didn't come back." ”

Saying that, Aunt Yang told Xiaoman about the doll leaves she bought in the market, and after speaking, she smiled innocently and subconsciously rubbed her hands.

"Auntie, tell you the truth, why did you go out in the morning?" Xiao Man still smiled softly, but there was no smile between her eyebrows, she looked at Aunt Yang so straight that she made the other party sweat.

Aunt Yang subconsciously rubbed her hands again, her eyes dodged, "I... I just want to...... Buy, buy something. ”

Xiaoman sighed, "Auntie, you tell the truth, did those people bully you?" ”

As early as yesterday, when she was eating, Xiao Man felt that something was wrong, she knew the temperament of those women in the village best, and naturally she could guess it with a little thought.
