The grange outside the city, although simple, is exceptionally quiet. The weather gradually got hotter, and Shen Xiu's belly also grew.

There is no ice cube eliminator, and the month is old, and even the well water cannot be used. There is no pond, and the only thing you can do is to enjoy the shade under the big trees.

"Madam, let's have a bowl of sour plum soup." The mother-in-law came over with a soup bowl.

Shen Xiu was sitting in the shade of a tree, although the sun was bright, but under the hundred-year-old tree, it was very cool.

I have never spent the summer in Zhuangzi, let alone enjoyed this leisure. She even thought that it would be a good thing if she could live such a leisurely life.

"It's hard for my mother, so I'll drink it." Shen Xiu took the bowl brought by her mother-in-law.

The food in Zhuangzi is delivered regularly in the city, and it is all fresh ingredients. The steward is also very careful, and deliberately found a good cook, although the Zhuangzi is too deserted, but she is used to the hustle and bustle of the city, and she has nothing to adapt to the light life.

"I didn't dare to ice in the well water, it has been sunbathing for an hour, and it has been cold." The mother-in-law said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Shen Xiu smiled and drank the sour plum soup.

The mother-in-law took the empty bowl and said with a smile: "It's a big day here, do you want to go back to the house and sit?" ”

"No, it's fine here." Shen Xiu smiled and said, "I want to sleep for a while." ”

The big tree was next to Zhuangzi, and in order to facilitate rest, Shen Xiu carried the chaise longue under the tree. A nap at noon and evening is the most comfortable.

"Ma'am, the weather this summer is uncertain." The mother-in-law said, "It's sunny now, and it will rain after a while." ”

Croppers rely on the weather for food, and they are the most accurate in the weather. It was cloudy for a while in the morning, but I was afraid that it would rain in the evening.

"It's okay, I'll rest for a while and then go back." Shen Xiu said with a smile.

The mother-in-law saw that Shen Xiu was tired, and she didn't want to say any more, so she just stepped aside to enjoy the coolness.

The girl helped Shen Xiu to lie down, the month is older, and the movement is becoming more and more inconvenient.

But this child is very well-behaved and does not make her suffer too much. As for whether it is a son or a daughter, the mother-in-law has always said that it is a son, and she hopes to be a son.

An unidentified child is destined to have a hard life. If it's a boy, he will be able to make a name for himself in the future.

With a slight apology in her heart, Shen Xiu slowly fell asleep.

The wind in the shade of the tree, gently caressing, blows away all the troubles.

When he seemed to be asleep, in the distance, Shen Xiu heard the sound of horses' hooves. The people who came were riding fast horses, and they came on horseback in this weather......

No, there are a lot of fast horses in Qingyang City. But in Zhuangzi, where did the fast horse come from.

Shen Xiu opened his eyes and said, "Help me up." ”

"Ma'am?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and then helped Shen Xiu up.

Shen Xiu straightened his clothes and looked in the direction of the main road.

White horse, silent man.

Wu Qi?

Shen Xiu was surprised, she thought it was Xiao studying medicine.

After Dr. Xiao left that day, he would come over every half a month to check her pulse.

Although she said that it was not necessary, but Xiao Xueyi wanted to come, and she couldn't stop it, so it was up to him.

But Wu Qi ......

"Who is this?" The mother-in-law was surprised and said, "Are you passing by?" ”

Zhuangzi is on the side of the mountain, and there is only one main road in front of the door. Now the white horse has turned around, obviously coming to Zhuangzi.

"Friends of the owner." Shen Xiu said, his tone was puzzled, "It should be passing by, right?" ”

Xiao Xueyi behaved perversely, and came once every half a month, although it was unexpected, it was also in line with his style.

Take a breath, whether it's suitable or not, like it or not, you just can't swallow it.

But Wu Qi ......

A man with a calm personality looks like an amorous person no matter how you look at it.

Or, really passing by?

Just when Shen Xiu was puzzled, the white horse was already in front of him. Shen Xiu got up to greet him, and Wu Qi turned over and dismounted.

"I've seen Uncle Wu." Shen Xiu was polite.

Although she was curious about Wu Qi's intentions, unlike Xiao Xuemei, Wu Qi was a true gentleman.

Even if you don't have a chance in this life, you are a person worthy of admiration.

However, it is also embarrassing for a daughter who has not been out of the cabinet to meet people with a big belly.

"It doesn't have to be that way." Wu Qi said, his expression was calm, and his voice was calm.

looked at Shen Xiu without a trace, he hadn't seen her for a few months, although she had a big belly, her temperament and charm were the same.

A few days ago, Wu returned home and talked to him a lot. He understood what Wu meant, but why should he listen.

"Uncle Wu came over at this time, did he happen to be passing by?" Shen Xiu said suspiciously.

Wu Qi said: "No, I'm here to find you." ”

"Me?" Shen Xiu's surprise could hardly be hidden, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Although Wu Qi mentioned his relatives, he ...... Her current condition......

No, Wu Qi came here so calmly, how did he know about this place?

"Let's go in and talk." Wu Qi said.

Shen Xiu also felt that she needed to solve her doubts, and said, "Uncle Wu, please inside." ”

The mother-in-law helped Shen Xiuqian to lead the way, and Wu Qi followed in. Zhuangzi is not big, but the house is very spacious, enough for one person.

"The house is shabby, and Uncle Wu has been wronged." Shen Xiu said.

Wu Qi looked at the decoration of the main house, it was indeed very simple, but the details showed the owner's intentions.

has come to such a point, and there is still the heart to arrange the house, Shen Xiu's heart is really indifferent.

"There's nothing wronged." Wu Qi said, "I do have something to say to you." ”

"Uncle Wu, please take a seat." Shen Xiu said, waved her hand to let the girl-in-law retreat, and ordered the mother-in-law to close the door.

Wu Qi sat down and said, "You seem to be very strange, why did I come." ”

“…… It's a little curious. Shen Xiu said.

Wu Qi said: "Xiao Xueyi comes to Zhuangzi every half month to diagnose your pulse, don't you ask him why?" ”

Shen Xiu suddenly understood that Xiao Xueyi came over for half a month, and he could hide whether there were people with intentions, but he couldn't hide from people with intentions.

Wu Qi is a caring person?

"Uncle Wu......" Shen Xiu's tone was restrained and embarrassed, and he bowed his head and said, "I am the way I am now, and you have seen it." If I can give birth to a child safely, it is already my creation, and I dare not think about anything else. ”

Xiao Xueyi can still be said to be holding a sigh of relief, Wu Qi ......

Even if the Wu family is a maritime merchant and acts boldly and informally, he doesn't have much intersection with her. On the one hand, I can propose marriage, and I have taken a fancy to her.

Now, this affection seems to be too heavy.

"You should know that my sister is the princess of Yongshou County." Wu Qi said, "She has already told me about you. ”

Shen Xiu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and his expression became more and more embarrassed.

"It's not your fault." Wu Qi said, looking directly at Shen Xiu, "Over the years, you have worked too hard. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Wu." Shen Xiu's eyes were slightly red, "Everything has passed, and I'm fine now." ”

This sentence of hard work came out of the mouth of an outsider in Wu Qi, which made her feel particularly sad.

Having a child out of wedlock is a great rebellion in the eyes of the world. Even if you encounter misfortune, you should commit suicide by throwing yourself into a well.

"That's what makes it good." Wu Qi said, "You need one to rely on." ”

With the explicit words, Shen Xiu looked at Wu Qi in shock.

Although she had guessed it just now, Wu Qi still shocked her when she said it himself.

This, Wu Qi, is still interested in her?

"Shen Da is a good brother, but you can't rely on it for a lifetime." Wu Qi said, "After this child is born, I will treat him as my own." ”

"Uncle Wu......" Shen Xiu's voice trembled slightly, and her mood was very complicated.

She has suffered too much, and if she can find someone to rely on, she is willing to get married.

However, the change in mood, and the fact that she has come to this point, makes her completely thoughtless.

I was desperate, but I didn't expect Wu Qi to show favor again. Unlike Xiao Xueyi, she would not consider Xiao Xueyi no matter what the situation.

But Wu Qi ......

If there is no such child, if the Wu family is not the princess of Yongshou County......

Wu Qi alone can be considered.

"I know it's a little hard to get you to accept it all at once." Wu Qi said, "I'm not in a hurry. ”

Shen Xiu only felt that there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, and said, "Uncle Wu should know that the child in my belly is ...... Your sister is the princess of Yongshou County, why should you get involved in this troubled water. ”

"I like you." Wu Qi said, "It's as simple as that. ”

Shen Xiu's heart trembled when she heard this, she had grown so big and experienced so much, like Wu Qi, she really had never met a man.

This is the first time I have received such a confession.

"This promise will always work." Wu Qi said, standing up: "I'm waiting for your reply." ”

After speaking, Wu Qi got up and walked out.

Shen Xiu didn't even react, and stood up with his hands on the table, but he got up too violently and felt a little dizzy.

Maybe it's not that it's too violent, but Wu Qi's words are really dizzying.

"You don't have to send me." Wu Qi said, "Please." ”

Shen Xiu stood on the table, she really didn't have the strength to send guests now.

Wu Qi walked away, and the girl outside also entered the house. The mother-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to support Shen Xiu, but she was infinitely curious in her heart, and said, "What's the matter with this Uncle Wu?" ”

A pregnant woman with a big belly, even if she sees a foreign man, she is definitely not doing anything like stealing chickens and touching dogs.

But strange is also strange here, what can a young man do when he meets a pot-bellied pregnant woman?

"Something at home." Shen Xiu said, took a deep breath, put his hand on his mother-in-law's arm, and said, "Help me to rest on the bed." ”

The mother-in-law saw that her face was not good, where did she dare to delay, and said while helping: "Did this Uncle Wu say anything, your face has changed." ”

"Nothing." Shen Xiu said, but he was a little absent-minded.

The mother-in-law supported her, and Shen Xiu lay down on the pillow. The overly shocking confession made her mood fluctuate, and the sun was too big this summer.

Wu Qi, Wu Qi......

A rare good man, if she meets at the right time, it is really her creation.

"Madam, have a bowl of tea." The mother-in-law brought tea.

Shen Xiu shook his head, closed his eyes and said, "Mom, let's rest, I want to take a rest." ”

She needs to calm down, and she needs to think about it.

I thought that my heart was like stopping water, but I didn't expect Wu Qi's words to make her feel that God treats her well, and she can always meet someone who treats her sincerely.
