065 Temptation
Xu Yunzhi said with a weak heart: "It should be......" She twisted her fingers around the corners of her clothes, "Luo Xuyan can't pretend to be stupid when she sees Qian's eyes." ”
Zhu Ying was not at ease, and instructed the maid beside her: "Keep an eye on it tomorrow, if you can find out Xu Yaoyao's mistake, hum ......"
Her eyes narrowed, a calculating gleam.
Xu Yunzhi felt uncomfortable and asked, "Mother, I'm sleepy, can I go to sleep?" ”
Zhu Ying waved her hand, "Go, go, go." ”
Xu Yunzhi also ran out.
Zhu Ying lowered her head, stroked her bulging belly, and said with a smile: "My precious son, you have to grow up obediently and safely, in the future, the good things of the Xu family are waiting for you." ”
Early the next morning, Zhu Ying came to Hanhui Courtyard, and she deliberately put some more powder on her face to make herself look bad and a little anxious.
"Girl, I haven't slept well all night, so it's safe to come and talk to you." She didn't wait for Xu Yaoyao to speak, she sat directly at the table, picked up a bowl of untouched white porridge, smelled it, the faint fragrance made her feel even more hungry, and she was not polite, scooped a spoonful, and took a bite fragrantly, "Oh, pregnant people have good appetites." ”
Xu Yaoyao motioned for the maid to bring another bowl, and at this time, Luo Banghao and Luo Xuyan came over from the study together.
Zhu Ying wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, today I want to borrow your wife to talk about my heart, don't blame me?" Speaking of this, her eyes turned red, "Looking at your husband and wife, I can't help but think of the strength, alas, ......"
"Sister-in-law," Xu Yaoyao pushed a plate of dim sum in front of her, "be careful of crying." ”
The snack gave off a sweet fragrance, and Zhu Ying swallowed.
In fact, she can eat this kind of dim sum at home, but as soon as she arrives at Xu Yaoyao, she can't help but feel that the same thing, the ingredients used must be better than hers.
She picked up the snack and took a bite and asked, "Sister, you are still the most intimate." Are you going to the shop today? The epidemic is raging outside, so it's better to hide at home and live in peace, right? ”
Xu Yaoyao said: "It is precisely because of the epidemic that the shop is busier than usual. I remember when I was young, when I encountered this kind of thing, my father would always help the yamen share some of it. ”
"Yes, there is the Xu family's ancestral recipe to avoid the epidemic, which can indeed make people feel more at ease, right?" Zhu Ying asked, carefully observing Xu Yaoyao's face.
Xu Yaoyao nodded and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, please rest assured, I asked someone to sprinkle the medicinal powder everywhere as soon as possible, and ordered someone to cook the decoction, so that everyone in the family could drink it, didn't you also drink a bowl?" ”
"I just want to ask again, a little more at ease." Zhu Ying prevaricated.
Xu Yaoyao smiled, which made her feel even more afraid that her heart was being perceived.
Xu Yaoyao said: "In addition, if it is not necessary, people will not go out casually." Even if you go out, you have to change your clothes and clean up when you come back. ”
Zhu Ying nodded and glanced at Luo Xuyan, "Then Ayan won't go to the shop today, right?" At home, it's good to be with the Yunzhi sisters as companions. ”
Xu Yaoyao said: "Ah Yan is going." ”
"Huh?" Zhu Ying showed a shocked look, "Ah Yan is young, it's so messy outside, why don't you want her to go?" ”
"Ah Yan has always been careful in doing things, and this time is also an experience, if she supports the shop alone in the future, she will be able to deal with this kind of thing independently." Xu Yaoyao said seriously.
Luo Xuyan had already eaten breakfast silently, put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and said, "Mother, my father and I went to the shop." ”
Zhu Ying said with a concerned face: "Ayan, you have to be careful." ”
Luo Xuyan smiled and said, "Thank you aunt for your concern, I will." ”
Zhu Ying sighed: "It's really embarrassing for Ayan to take on such a heavy burden at such a young age." ”
Luo Xuyan smiled and went out with her father.
Xu Yaoyao said very blandly: "There's nothing embarrassing, at my age, I have experienced more than Ah Yan." ”
"......" Zhu Ying couldn't find a word for a while, and watched Luo Banghao's father and daughter walk out of the courtyard gate.
Xu Yaoyao asked the maid to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then took out a sewing basket with various colored threads in it, as well as a small dress that had not been embroidered.
"Today, I'm watching a little at home and don't go to the shop. Taking advantage of this free time, I want to make a dress for my future little nephew, but unfortunately I neglected to learn female popularity when I was young, and now I find that my craftsmanship is sparse, and I want my sister-in-law to laugh. ”
Zhu Ying glanced at it, Xu Yaoyao's embroidery was indeed average, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "Sister, if the clothes of the Xu family's golden grandson are not good, my mother will not be happy." ”
"That's not going to work." Xu Yaoyao fiddled with the colored threads and fine needles, "Can't make my mother and sister-in-law unhappy, and make this little baby look ugly?" So, please give my sister-in-law some advice, right? ”
When Zhu Ying heard this, she suddenly became energetic, took the fabric, looked at it again and again, and then pointed out what Xu Yaoyao did wrong.
“…… Tsk, girl, your craftsmanship really needs to be improved, look at this stitch, how ugly, it should be embroidered like this......"
Xu Yaoyao looked at it seriously, and said "What my sister-in-law said".
Zhu Ying demonstrated a few times, and then stuffed the thing back into Xu Yaoyao's hand, "Try it yourself." ”
"Okay."
Xu Yaoyao fiddled with the needle and thread slowly, Zhu Ying was very interested at first, but her movements were too slow, and she began to feel sleepy when she looked at it, and after a while, her head was tilted and she fell asleep directly on the soft couch.
Xu Yaoyao motioned for the maid to take the futon, cover it on Zhu Ying's body, and then continue to embroider.
On the other side, Luo Xuyan put on a veil and came to the South City Gate. The little officials stationed here saw that the people of the Xu family were coming, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Is it Miss Luo?" He said with some concern: "Another group of disaster victims have arrived, please go over with the doctor to have a look." ”
"I see." Luo Xuyan nodded, saw the little official anxiously flipping through the account book in his hand, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
The little official said: "I don't need Miss Luo to worry about it, it's just ...... Recently, he needs the rich families in the city to donate food, which is a drudgery that is particularly easy to offend people, alas, "Alas, ......" He shook his head and sighed, knowing that it was useless to talk to Luo Xuyan, shaking his head and walking away.
Today, it was You Zhen who followed Luo Xuyan over, and said puzzledly: "Our Xiazhou is not a small town, why did we plan to donate food so quickly?" ”
Luo Xuyan also felt strange, "We can't intervene in this matter, so let's bring the herbs and distribute them first." ”
You Zhen thought that it was a headache for the yamen, and it had nothing to do with them, what mattered now was the matter at hand, so she hurriedly picked up a strip of medicinal materials from the cart and walked towards the city gate with Luo Xuyan.
After a few steps, the figure at the city gate flickered, and a group of officers and soldiers trotted past.
Luo Xuyan stood to the side, and then turned her head and saw Zhao Ying coming with her hand.
