"Then Ran Jia thanked Mrs. Zhong first," Ran Jia still smiled and nodded, not taking advantage of the surprise at all.

Xue Hua smiled and asked again: "In two days, it will be the third lady's ceremony, didn't Mrs. invite you to go?" We're girls from the house, we can't forget the kindness of our master, right?

I've been worried about the third lady's congratulatory gift these days, and I've visited the shops in the entire capital, and there is no shortage of expensive ones, and the cheap ones seem to be insincere, alas, I don't know what Mrs. Ying is going to give? ”

The third lady of this Hou Mansion is actually the child of Hou Ye's brother-in-law, and the old lady has always been partial to the eldest master, feeling that everything in the mansion should be theirs, and Hou Ye snatched it from his brother. So the old lady stared at the good things in the hands of the Hou Ye and the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou, and half held the middle feed of the Hou Mansion, while pulling the good things to the eldest master's family.

The eldest lord's grandsons have given birth to a bunch, and the old lady is not allowed to divide the family, so she forcibly let a white body continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion, that is, the Hou Ye and the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou went out to participate in any banquet, and the old lady ordered the eldest daughter-in-law and a group of grandsons and granddaughters to go out.

Now the grandchildren have married the second daughters of the rich and noble families by taking advantage of the light of the Hou Mansion, and the granddaughters also have good places to go.

Mrs. Hou Ye was worried about this matter, but under the pressure of filial piety, she and Hou Ye could only grit their teeth and endure it, but the more they endured, the more powerful those people became. A Bai Ding's third daughter and Lu Li invited many powerful families to celebrate in the name of Hou Ye's farewell village to open a flower party.

Ran Jia smiled, "I didn't receive the invitation, so I won't join in the fun, Mrs. Zhong, you slowly pick out gifts, I can't help." ”

After the two said goodbye, Ran Jia went home, she sighed for a while, it was really different people and different lives, but she did not have the slightest envy. She is very satisfied with her current life, she has a husband who cherishes her, a comfortable place to live, a shop that can pour her heart and soul into, and a few more babies in the future, everything can't be better.

Just thinking about it, her nose actually smelled the fishy smell of birds outside the house, and a wave of nausea hit violently, she hurriedly ran out and hugged the pillar and retched, it was almost noon, and she had no food in her stomach and could only vomit some tea.

She was stunned, her menstrual affairs seemed to have been postponed for half a month, she pursed her lips and smiled stupidly, and stroked her stomach with her hand in disbelief. Ran Jia looked at the sky, and there was still half an hour before Ying Jian came back, so she called Aunt Zhang to give her a piece of broken silver and asked her to invite a doctor.

Aunt Zhang immediately realized it, and with two oops, she wiped her hand twice on the apron, took off her apron, brushed her hair, and pedaled out.

Their house is separated from the downtown by a row of facades, and not far from it is a large medical hall.

The doctor carefully checked Ran Jia's pulse, and repeatedly confirmed that his face was filled with joy: "Congratulations to Madame, you are going to be a mother!" ”

The two mothers-in-law and Qiu Shuwen, who escorted her back, happily congratulated Ran Jia when they heard this, and their joy spread throughout the small courtyard.

Ying Jian went home with the meal as usual, smelling the smell of the different food in the hall, and asked quietly: "Are you busy this morning?" ”

"It's okay, Shopkeeper Jin took three jobs for me, and one of them turned out to be the lady in the palace," Ran Jia changed his clothes for him, handed over a warm cloth towel, and replied with a chuckle.

"I didn't expect the lady to be so powerful, and she was named in front of the lady in the palace," the corner of Ying Key's lips overflowed with a faint arc, and asked again: "The lady has taken on a lot of work recently, aren't you tired?" ”

Since the two of them returned from the Hou Ye's birthday banquet, the relationship has become more and more intimate, and people who are so emotionally unemotional have opened their mouths and closed their mouths to call the lady, so that her heart is always trembling, she smiled and led him to the dinner table, "I'm not tired, I don't have time to sew clothes and embroidery by myself with more work, it's just a little brain." ”

"Hmm," Ying Jian replied lightly, picking up the chopsticks in front of him, he picked up the bowl, and inside was the steaming and fragrant rice.

This man is so powerful that he even relies on his sense of smell to reach over accurately, and through the chopsticks he can clearly know whether he is holding meat or vegetables, or chili peppers.

Ran Jia is used to seeing it, but every time she sighs at him, who can do what he does?

When she is not busy, she has more habits of observing him, anyway, he can't see it, is it possible that he can even feel it?

Ying Jian looks serious and very serious on the outside, but he is actually an impatient person in front of her, and he has to find topics all the time, often he starts and then makes her talk endlessly. He also likes to touch her, and his expression is always looking for where she is. Every word she said entered his heart, and then one surprise after another appeared in front of her.

It seems that at this moment, he seems to have noticed something, and he is extremely reserved not to ask directly, but to knock on the side, get the answer that is not what he wants, and secretly speculate and continue to ask, with ......

She bit her lip and laughed silently, and kindly reminded her: "Xianggong, you have caught the chili pepper." ”

Ying Jian chopsticks and put the chili pepper back, then he caught a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, sighed helplessly and compromised with him and asked: "Anyway, what is the happy event?" ”

"Well, it's nothing, I met an acquaintance outside today," Ran Jia said as she ate her fat and thin meat.

"I know this," he hummed, "Xuehua is married to the son of the Zhong family, the richest man in Pingkang Fucheng, Zhong Chengchun has some industries of his own in Kyoto, and he has always wanted to take root in the capital, so he took the line of the old lady. One wants a backer, the other wants silver, and the two hit it off, and Xuehua is a form of contract. ”

Ran Jia didn't expect this to be the case, "Xuehua said that two days were the third lady's ceremony in the house, and it seemed to be held in a village of the old lady, and asked me what kind of gift I was going to prepare." ”

"Yes, when I went to the Hou Mansion, Madame also asked me to talk to you and ask if you could help organize the banquet if you were free. Although it was the third lady's ceremony, the old lady used the name that Mrs. Hou wanted to hold the Fusang Flower Party, and gave posts to the old ladies, ladies and young ladies in each house, and only then told the Hou Ye that he would give posts to the lords and young masters in each house. ”

Ying Key patiently replied.

"The old lady is getting more and more ...... things now," she sighed lightly, "those who are invited are all twisted in their stomachs, and once the old lady brings the topic to the third lady and the flute, who doesn't know what's going on?" Isn't the Hou Mansion a joke again? ”

Over the years, because of the old lady's foolish things, the prestige of the Hou Mansion is not as good as before, "Next time, I'm afraid there will be more and more people who can't shirk coming to the banquet." ”

Speaking of this, Ran Jia's appetite is mostly gone, she is an orphan, and she really treats her wife as a relative. Now that there is no shackle of the master-servant relationship, Ran Jia has more natural love for the master, and can also feel the helplessness and forbearance of the master.

"Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye are generous to people and do things fairly, they can't deal with the old lady's tricks, but whenever the old lady cries and makes trouble, Hou Ye compromises first. This compromise became a habit, and the old lady even took the heart of the old man a lot bigger. As he spoke, Ying Jian didn't forget to put vegetables in Ran Jia's bowl, "If you don't solve this matter early, there will be more troubles in the future." ”

The eldest lord of the Hou Mansion is very different in age from the Hou Mansion, and his grandchildren are three or four years older than the young master and young lady of the Hou Mansion.

Ran Jia nodded in agreement: "The grandson of the eldest master can shout at the young master and the young lady, how can there be such a thing in other mansions?" A filial piety word is bigger than the sky, and the master and the master are bitter and can't say it. ”

"You're worried?"

"Well, I was an orphan, I was only four years old at the time, and I was brought to the capital by a kidnapper to sell. They didn't give me enough food, so I took advantage of their inattention to sneak out, and just happened to bump into the master, and she bought me. My master wanted to take me home, but I had a high fever and forgot everything, so I stayed by my master's side.

The master promised at that time that he would give me back a free body in the future. "Ran Jia has never resented Mrs. Houfu, even if she is promised the key, she knows that her master is doing what she thinks is the most correct.

It turns out that the master's only toughness on her at the beginning was indeed right. Otherwise, she really missed the key, where to find such a powerful, spoiled and affectionate husband in the future.

"Although I left the Hou Mansion, in my heart, my wife is my relative, she gave me the opportunity to read and write, paint, practice embroidery and cooking, and there are many books for me to learn about the world outside the courtyard, teach me to behave, and be a teacher and a friend. It can also be said that she was my spiritual pillar before I married you, and the only meaning of my existence.

Husband, then how do you say I don't worry? ”

"If you're worried, how about the husband solve it for you once and for all?" Ying Jian knocked her bowl with chopsticks, "Eat well first, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Ran Jia took two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, and as soon as she put down the bowl, Ying Key's chopsticks brought a piece of oily fatty meat.

A faint fishy smell entered her nose, Ran Jia's stomach immediately rolled, she took the chair and trotted back to the outside of the house with a wow, spitting out all the food that had been finally stuffed in.

Ying Jian put down his chopsticks and walked quickly to the sound, even forgetting to count his steps and stumbling on the threshold. He anxiously stroked her back, patted it, and shouted, "Aunt Zhang brings water!" ”

After spitting up, Ran Jia was relaxed, she took a long breath and rinsed her mouth, and drank some warm water.

"I'm fine." She held the key back, and her voice was much weaker than usual.
