Yao Yuerong was also a little prepared for the old princess to let her follow her housekeeper at this time, because she knew that the old lady of the Yao family would write a letter to the old princess, but she didn't expect that Sanniang would get pregnant at this time.

During the time when she came back from the old princess's courtyard, Yao Yuerong naturally thought about this matter several times in her heart, although it was a little different from what she expected, but it was not necessarily a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Yao Yuerong smiled slightly.

On the afternoon of this day, Yao Yuerong prepared a seven- or eight-inch-long Hetian Jade Guanyin for the maid to pack in a brocade box and take it to Sanniang's yard.

Since Yao Yuerong entered the mansion, he rarely came to Sanniang's side, and it was common for him to go to the county lord of Huilan. Because Sanniang has reservations about her origin, Sanniang is also happy to stay away from herself.

Hearing the maid's report that Yao Yuerong was coming, Sanniang was a little surprised. Xuan Shao, who was reading with her, frowned and said, "Let your maid deal with it." ”

Sanniang smiled at him: "How can it be said that she is also my grandmother's maiden cousin, and we are not sure if she really has a problem for the time being, I will see it." As he spoke, he glanced at Xuan Shao again, "Besides, isn't there a minister?" I asked Bai Lan to accompany me to meet the guests, who are I afraid of? ”

Xuan Shao is not a person who can be dizzy when he wears a high hat, and he just said helplessly when he heard the words: "You can see it if you want, just stay away from her." I was sitting next door. ”

Sanniang naturally has nothing to do.

So Xuan Shao still stayed in the study, but put down the curtain.

Sanniang asked Bai Ying and Bai Lan to come over, and went with them to welcome Yao Yuerong in.

Sanniang is actually very curious about Yao Yuerong. I want to know what she's all about. However, Yao Yuerong is not intimate with her on weekdays, but she has no chance to find out if she wants to. Yao Yuerong came over today, she was a little curious.

Seeing that Sanniang came to greet her in person, Yao Yuerong hurriedly bent down to salute, and Sanniang also greeted her. Hurriedly invited Yao Yuerong into the house.

Sanniang invited Yao Yuerong to the reception room next to the study. sat in the main and guest seats, and Bai Lan and Bai Ying were on the side.

"Cousin Yuerong is really a rare guest, I have long wanted to invite you to come and sit in my yard. It's just that I can't be free in the morning, and you have to be busy with embroidery in the afternoon, and it's all staggered. Sanniang smiled and said polite words to Yao Yuerong.

Yao Yuerong hurriedly said: "The eldest cousin is busy with housework every day, although Yuerong also wants to be close to the eldest cousin, but she is also afraid of delaying the eldest cousin's business." ”

Sanniang exchanged a few more polite words with her, and Yao Yuerong said what she wanted to do today, and asked the maid to take out the Hetian Jade Guanyin statue she had prepared.

"Today, when I go to the princess to say goodbye. Seeing that the princess was preparing medicinal materials for her eldest cousin-in-law, she knew that her eldest cousin-in-law had a happy event. Although Yuerong came to Zhuang Wangfu for a short time, he was taken care of by his sister-in-law everywhere, and this Hetian Jade Guanyin was opened by a monk, hoping that his sister-in-law could accept it. The right should be a pleasant heart. ”

Seeing that her pregnancy was known so quickly, Sanniang was also a little helpless. But it's no wonder that the old princess is really happy about this, although she promised to keep quiet, she won't hide it.

Sanniang's face remained unchanged, and she smiled and said to Yao Yuerong: "My cousin has a heart." Since you call me a big cousin, I should naturally take care of you, and I have to say anything about it. ”

Seeing that Yao Yuerong insisted that she accept the jade Guanyin statue, she did not refuse. Let Bai Lan go forward and take the brocade box.

Yao Yuerong and Sanniang said a few more words, and then pulled the matter to the county lord of Huilan, and said worriedly: "...... My grandmother said that I had sent Cousin Huilan to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to her. Having said that, his eyes were immobile and secretly observed Sanniang's reaction. I want to see some clues in her face.

But what kind of person is Sanniang, naturally she will not let her find out if she is half emotional, she just shook her head and sighed lightly: "I also went to ask my grandmother to say goodbye when I heard her old man talk about it, Sister Huilan said that she was sick, and the princess was worried about it, not only for fear of delaying the illness but also for fear that we juniors who would not be able to make it would worry, so I discussed it with the prince of the county and sent Sister Huilan away." Cousin Yuerong doesn't have to be sad, Sister Huilan just went out to recuperate, and she will come back naturally after a few days of recovery. ”

King Zhuang also knew about the county lord of Whelan being sent away? Yao Yuerong held the tea bowl thoughtfully. I want to knock on the side again, but I don't want to find no other news no matter how much I ask.

Sanniang looked at Yao Yuerong's expression while dealing with her.

Yao Yuerong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that no matter how he used his skills, he couldn't hear the news. I was also a little unsure in my heart, whether Sanniang really didn't know the inside story of Whelan being sent away.

In the end, Yao Yuerong saw that she couldn't ask anything, so she got up and said goodbye.

Sanniang politely kept it for a while before sending Yao Yuerong out.

As soon as Yao Yuerong left, Bai Guo came over and whispered to Sanniang: "Miss, the old princess said today that she wants to take Miss Yao to take her as a housekeeper." ”

Sanniang frowned slightly when she heard this, and soon put it down again, glaring at Bai Guo: "I'm getting bolder and bolder, I dare to listen to the words in the princess's house, isn't it itchy?" ”

Bai Guo hurriedly smiled and said: "This is not a secret, the maids and grandmothers of Shouhui Hall know that there is no need for slaves and maids to investigate." ”

Sanniang scolded Baiguo with a smile and sent her out.

Bai Lan knew about Yao Yuerong's situation, and when she saw that there was no one else in the room, she whispered: "Young lady, if this is Miss Yao's housekeeper, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" Do you want to talk to the princess? ”

Sanniang pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "There is no evidence, how can you say it?" Yao Yuerong is also the old princess's maiden family, although the old princess didn't say anything, but from her attitude towards Yao Yuerong on weekdays, she still values her mother's family very much.

The old princess said that she wanted to take Yao Yuerong as a housekeeper, she should have been entrusted by her brother Cheng Guogong, so she naturally couldn't refute it recklessly.

"Could it be that we can only be passive?" Bai Lan was a little depressed, she still liked the way she dealt with the county lord of Huilan, and she was happy to take revenge.

Sanniang smiled: "Why are you passive when we are?" ”

Bai Lan was stunned.

Sanniang said again: "It's because the enemy is dark and I am bright." And that's why we were able to clean up that one so smoothly this time. It's because the enemy is bright and I'm dark. Sanniang pointed to the courtyard of the county lord of Huilan.

Bai Lan thought about it carefully when she heard this, after all, she was smart, and she was not an ignorant woman raised in the yard, so she quickly figured it out.

Seeing Bai Lan, he seemed to have an understanding. Sanniang smiled at her and said: "Besides, the princess has been in charge of the palace for many years, although she has not left her home in the past few years, her heart is like a mirror." Yao Yuerong wants to set off some big waves when he is housekeeping, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”

Last time, Sanniang went to the old princess to return the accounts, and the old princess was a little tired, so she asked Sanniang to talk to Mama Zhang beside her. Mama Zhang is very familiar with those accounts, Sanniang deliberately said that there was a fork, and Mama Zhang also reacted. Although Mama Zhang didn't bring it up in person, Sanniang still noticed it carefully.

So Sanniang knew that although this grandmother didn't care much about the affairs of the palace. In fact, the psychology is very clear, otherwise how could a steward beside her be able to clear the accounts of the house.

Only a fool like the princess of the county would think that the little actions she has done over the years are unaware and stealing fun on the sidelines.

Therefore, when the old princess said that she would take care of the house, Sanniang responded without hesitation. The old princess is willing to come forward, and the palace will naturally not be able to go wrong.

Sent the maids out. Xuan Shao walked out of the study, took Sanniang's hand and took her to the inner room to sit.

"You still know the art of war?" Xuan Shao glanced at Sanniang and asked casually.

Sanniang didn't care: "I don't know much, I just use some." ”

Xuan Shao took Sanniang in his arms, flicked her unceremoniously when he heard the words, and said, "Why do you have to deal with her?" If she really has a problem, I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of this house, and even her grandmother can't protect her. There was some coldness in Xuan Shao's voice.

Sanniang nestled in Xuan Shao's arms and squinted lazily. He looked very comfortable: "I didn't deal with her, I was just just curious." You know, if life is too boring, people will become stupid. The more you use your brain, the more flexible you become. You don't want me to be a fool when I'm ten months pregnant, do you? ”

Xuan Shao couldn't cry or laugh, wanting to teach her a lesson to cheer up her husband, and thinking that she was pregnant and didn't know how to start.

The next few days. Sanniang only went to Jiang and the old princess every day to say goodbye, and the rest of the time was only reading books in her room and fiddling with the newly bought piano. Xuan Shao still has to go out during the day, but he always comes back before nightfall, and according to Bai Lan, the guards around her are tighter, and even people are arranged in the inner courtyard. However, Sanniang has never seen any strange men in the inner courtyard.

For being so cautious with Xuan Shao, although Sanniang was a little helpless, she also went with him. Otherwise, he would not be at ease outside. Sanniang is very consciously well-behaved and clever every day.

It rained for several days in the past few days, and the weather became colder and colder.

When it rained on the first day, Sanniang still went to the old princess's yard to ask for peace, not wanting the old princess to see that her leather jacket outside was a little wet, so she immediately lost her temper, and said that she would drag the maids and women who were waiting around her down to beat.

Sanniang finally persuaded her, and the old princess ordered her not to go all the way to greet her without her permission in the future, which made Sanniang cry and laugh.

However, although the old princess's face was stern, her eyes were distressed and worried. Sanniang knew that the old princess was afraid that she would get sick in the rain, but taking medicine when she was pregnant was not good for the child, so the old princess lost her temper.

Sanniang didn't insist on asking the old princess to say goodbye, but the old princess still sent people around her to see her every day and send her things. Sometimes it's Mama Zhang coming over, and sometimes it's a few big girls around her.

Except for this, there is nothing else going on in the house. Yao Yuerong follows the old princess to take care of housework every day, and I heard Mama Zhang say that Yao Yuerong is very serious and smart, although there are many things that she doesn't understand very well, but she is also willing to spend effort.

Although Sanniang is no longer in charge of the house's housekeeping, she has also cultivated a few useful people these days, so she doesn't know anything about the housekeeping in the house. Yao Yuerong really didn't make a small move on this.

Sanniang was a little curious, wanting to know what she wanted to do next.

After all, from the bright side, if she wants to make something bad, this is the most suitable time to start. So when she saw that Yao Yuerong was really well-behaved and skillful in learning housekeeping, Sanniang was still a little disappointed.

On the evening of this day, Sanniang was walking slowly in her room. She is now more than two months old. Three months is not far away. Thinking that Mama Zhuang said that the fetus would stabilize after three months, she wished that life would pass faster.

As he walked, he listened to Bai Guo, who was sitting on the pestle embroidering the upper of his shoes, chattering about some short gossip from the east and west, and Bai Zhi came in and said, "Young lady, Mama Zhang from the old princess's side is here." ”

The old princess often arranged for Mama Zhang to come to see her. sent her something, so Sanniang was not surprised, and hurriedly asked people to welcome Mama Zhang in.

As soon as Mama Zhang saw Sanniang, she came up with a smile on her face and saluted. Sanniang let Bai Zhi hold on.

Mama Zhang smiled and said, "It's raining again today, and it's very cold outside, so the young lady should wear more." ”

Because the earth dragon was burned in the house, Sanniang only wore a moon-white jacket embroidered with golden chrysanthemum patterns, and a wide-brimmed skirt embroidered with bees and butterflies embroidered in light yellow, and her belly was not yet pregnant.

Sanniang smiled and invited Mama Zhang to sit down: "You see that I am wearing less, but in fact, I am wearing two Chinese clothes." Besides, the house is very warm, and the big sweater clothes you wear will definitely sweat, but it is easy to catch a cold. Don't worry, I'll take care of my body. ”

Mama Zhang saw Sanniang reach out and let her touch her cuffs, and Mama Zhang really touched it. I was relieved when I saw that I was wearing two middle coats.

"Young lady, don't worry about the old slave, it's really the princess who is very concerned about the young lady, and the old slave doesn't dare to be sloppy." Mama Zhang said with a smile.

Sanniang hurriedly said: "What did Mama say, could it be that I am such a person who does not distinguish between good and bad?" I can't even appreciate your kindness. ”

Mama Zhang smiled and asked Sanniang a few more words, and Sanniang also answered patiently in detail. In the end, Mama Zhang said: "The old slave came over today, and it was the princess who asked me to tell the young lady that I wanted you to vacate the ear room next to the courtyard and use it as a small kitchen." Now it's getting colder. If the food is delivered from the large kitchen, it will be cold no matter what. The princess asked you to get out of the small kitchen, and let people cook whatever you wanted, both fresh and hot. ”

Sanniang hurriedly said: "When the kitchen delivers food, there is a charcoal fire under the food box, where is it cold?" Go tell your grandmother that I don't need a kitchenette here. ”

In Prince Zhuang's mansion, only the old princess has a small kitchen in the courtyard. It's not commonly used, and the princess didn't dare to set up a small kitchen in her yard back then, and when she was pregnant, she ate in the big kitchen, but she specially arranged a stove and a cook. Sanniang is in charge of the house these days, so she naturally knows these rules, and she doesn't dare to go over the princess of the county.

Mama Zhang said with a straight face: "Young lady, don't shirk this matter, the princess has even prepared the kitchen for you, just wait for you to clean up this side and let people come over." If you don't accept it, the princess is worried that you won't eat well, and it will be even more uncomfortable. ”

Sanniang caught the end of the words when she heard this, and was shocked, and said anxiously: "Grandmother is not feeling well? When did this happen? Why didn't anyone come and tell me? ”

Mama Zhang noticed that she was speechless, she was a little embarrassed, and she couldn't make amends, so she could only say truthfully: "It's not a big problem, you also know that our princess has bad legs and feet, and it has rained a few times in a row during this time, and she is a little uncomfortable after some cold." Today, I have asked the imperial doctor to enter the house to see it, and I just need to recuperate. ”

Sanniang was relieved to hear that it was an old problem, but she was still a little worried: "Which imperial doctor is here?" Later, I asked the maid to take the pulse case for the Xianggong to see, and if it was not appropriate, I would ask Imperial Doctor Jiang. ”

Mama Zhang was also a little relieved to see the worry in Sanniang's eyes, and said busily: "It is the Empress Dowager who specially arranged the Imperial Doctor Zhou, who is the best at rheumatic joint diseases. However, the young lady is also filial, and I will have someone send the pulse case to the young master later. The old princess must be happy when she knows that her grandchildren and daughters-in-law care about her.

Sanniang nodded, and was about to shirk the matter of the small kitchen again, Mama Zhang saw it, and when she saw that the words had been said here, she didn't hide it, and whispered: "Young lady, you still don't shirk, the princess naturally has her intentions in arranging this." Because the imperial doctor ordered her to recuperate, the princess could no longer go to the council hall every day. It's just that Miss Yao is young after all, and she is an outsider, and she is not familiar with the things in the inner courtyard, so the old princess considered letting the princess of the county come out to take charge of the house. ”

Sanniang was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyes contemplated.

Is the princess of the county going out of the mountain? Is this a coincidence, and someone is secretly plotting? This is the reason why Yao Yuerong has not moved these days? She's not good at doing something on her own, so she wants to find a gun?

Mama Zhang said again: "Young lady, although your food is also in the big kitchen these days. The princess sent me or a few big maids to watch carefully every day, so there would be no mistakes. It's just that now the princess is inconvenient, and a few of us have to serve by the princess's side, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions. But leave your food to others. The princess is not at ease. Do you think you understand the painstaking work of being an elder? ”

Sanniang was not moved when she heard this, even if the old princess was for the child in her belly, but she really thought of everything. She actually sent someone to watch it herself from the kitchen. also knew that since this time, her supplements and food have been watched by several trusted people around the old princess in turn.

Mama Zhang knew that Sanniang might be afraid of others gossiping, so she said: "Although your small kitchen here is set up for you, it is an example of our Shouhui Hall, and even those two cooks are also the princess's own people. ”

Mama Zhang said everything about this, Sanniang really couldn't refuse anymore, so she nodded and smiled: "Since it's grandmother's hard work." Sanniang didn't pretend to shirk it. After my grandmother went back, she thanked my grandmother for helping me with my life, and I will visit her old man tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Mama Zhang first nodded, and then hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Ouch, little ancestor, your filial piety slave will help you bring it." But don't go to the old princess's courtyard. It's raining these days, it's cold and the road is slippery, you take care of your body, otherwise the princess will lose her temper again. You are good now, and when the time comes, you will give birth to a healthy and healthy Young Master Sun, which is better than anything else. ”

When a few maids next to them saw Mama Zhang frightened like this, the little ancestor called out, and couldn't help but laugh on the side.

Sanniang glared at them a few times, and saw Mama Zhang's insistence. can only say: "Then wait a while and let the Xianggong go over to see Grandmother, so that it will be done, right?" ”

Mama Zhang immediately smiled: "Cheng, Cheng, the young master will be happy to go to the princess." ”

Mama Zhang sat for a while, and when she saw that it was getting late, she got up to say goodbye. Sanniang asked Bai Zhi to hold an umbrella to send Mama Zhang back.

When Mama Zhang was leaving, Sanniang seemed to ask unintentionally: "Why did grandmother suddenly think of letting the princess of the county take charge of the house again?" ”

Mama Zhang said: "Originally, the princess planned to let the princess stay in the Buddhist hall for a few more days, and wanted the stewards to go to her main room every day to reply. After listening to the words of the imperial doctor, Miss Yao was not at ease, and felt that the princess was too tired in this case, so she proposed to let you take care of it first. The princess naturally didn't want you to be affected at this time, so Miss Yao said that it was better to let the princess of the county take care of it. The princess thought about it for a long time, but finally agreed. ”

Mama Zhang paused, then lowered her voice and said: "The county lord of Huilan was sent away, and she has that kind of disease, and the princess still has some pity for the princess after all." ”

As soon as Mama Zhang left, Sanniang's face sank.

Bai Yingyu and Bai Lan were startled.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Bai Ying carefully looked at Sanniang's face and said.

Sanniang said to Bai Lan: "Go and find out what is going on with the princess's illness." "This timing is too coincidental, and it is difficult for Sanniang not to suspect that someone is doing things behind her back.

Bai Lan was taken aback, glanced at Sanniang and said, "Young lady, do you suspect that the princess is sick or someone is secretly making trouble?" The purpose is to make the princess of the county come out justifiably? ”

Sanniang's eyes were very cold: "It's better not, otherwise I will definitely make her sick too, try what life is better than death." ”

Her voice was very soft, without the slightest anger, but it made people feel chills in their hearts. Bai Lan even felt that the young lady's appearance just now was a little similar to that of her son.

What Sanniang hates most is that others will do small actions on her family, this is something she can't bear no matter what, it is her bottom line, if this matter is a ghost made by the princess of the county or Yao Yuerong, Sanniang will never be soft on them.

Even if the old princess once wanted to stuff a concubine with her and Xuan Shao, it was also a problem of her concept.
