When Tong woke up in the morning, he felt better than ever. Her belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, she struggled to move her body to get out of bed, her husband had already stepped forward, helped her to sit in front of the dresser, and personally handed her a handkerchief to wash her face, so that her heart was warm, and she felt that she had a husband like this, what do you want in this life?

Duan Ning and Shuning also came over early to say goodbye to their parents, and after eating a little, they went to greet their grandmother together.

When she arrived at the old lady's house, she greeted the family with a smile on her face, and just glanced at Tong with a little deep meaning.

The old lady said a few words of gossip to her son, and then pulled Duan Ning to ask about the recent homework, because the eldest of them was going out and the younger one was going to school, so she let him and the two children go, leaving Tong alone to speak.

She looked kind and asked Tong, "It seems that her belly is not small, it has been five months, right?" ”

Tong smiled: "Yes, it will be five months in a few days." ”

"Are you alright? You are not young, be more careful, eat more, sleep more, and you don't have to come to me so diligently in the future. When people found out, they thought that my wife was mean to her daughter-in-law. ”

"How so? This is the duty of being a daughter-in-law. Besides, this road is not far, and the daughter-in-law walks around a lot, and she will have the strength to give birth in the future. ”

The old lady nodded: "That's right, I didn't know this reason when I was young, and I didn't like to move when I was pregnant with a child, thinking that this was to cherish my body, but I didn't have the strength to give birth, and I tossed it for a day, and I regretted it." If only you knew that. ”

Tong nodded with a smile.

The old lady took another sip of tea, cleared her throat and said, "Speaking of which, the third child has been in your room at night for the past few months?" ”

Tong didn't know why, so he only nodded yes.

The old lady said again, "No wonder there is no one in the house except you." There used to be a Cuirui, but now it's gone. I won't talk about the rights and wrongs, but it's been a few years since the third child was promoted to the fifth grade, and he doesn't even have a concubine, which is too disagreeable. ”

She ignored Tong's suddenly white face, and said to herself: "If it was before, it would be just before, now that you have a body, it must not be very convenient, and it is not a matter to hang him there for a year and a half." Look at how many brothers they have, why is there no one in the house? Even if the fourth child didn't take a concubine, there were a few scenes of filling the room. I know it's not easy for you to take care of the housework alone outside, and it's not too much trouble now, so my wife can just get an idea for you. ”

Tong Shi snorted: "Uh...... E-Niang ......"

The old lady continued: "The few emeralds in my house are not boastful, but they are better than the ordinary girls outside in terms of character and appearance, and they all know the roots, and they are all capable. I think...... Your husband and wife have always had a good relationship, if you find someone who is too strong and doesn't disturb your house, choose a gentle and sensible one, how about Cuiying? I just heard your second sister-in-law say that she often walks around your house and gets along well with you, so she must be able to live in harmony with her wives and concubines in the future. ”

Tong Shi had already been blinded by this thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his heart was tensed and painful. They are a good husband and wife, how can they let people get involved...... How can it be......

However, she is no longer the new daughter-in-law who can only be a voice worm in front of her mother-in-law, she has been away with her husband for many years, not to mention going through ups and downs, just being the master of the house for so long, it is no longer Wuxia Ameng. Although she was hit by this sudden news, in a few snaps of her fingers, she had come to her senses and thought of a way to deal with it.

Tong Shiqiang pressed the turbulent waves in his heart and said: "E-niang is right, in fact, the daughter-in-law also has this idea in her heart, and she always feels that she has treated her husband badly, so she has been secretly paying attention to whether there is a suitable candidate over the years." She looked at the old lady's surprised eyes, and calmed down a little more: "It's just that the husband's vision is high, and ordinary girls can't look down on it, so it has been delayed until today." But now it's different, E-Niang's beloved Yahuan must be good, and he will definitely like it. The daughter-in-law is only happy, but there is one thing...... I have to guard against it. ”

The old lady frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Now it's the period of national mourning, no matter what, we are also knighted people, how can we do happy events at such a time? If you call for a copy of ginseng, it's not good. ”

The old lady waved her hand indifferently: "What's this, if you don't set up a banquet, it's okay, otherwise, just open your face first, be a room, and then make up for it later." ”

Tong said with a white face: "The girl in the old lady's house, how can she be so wronged? Besides, even if it's a room, it's small, if it's someone else, it's just that, but the husband has only offended the people under Lord Suo Etu's door now, it's a little wrong, isn't it just someone who catches the handle? When the time comes, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to retaliate, and the husband will have no future, not to mention, I am afraid that even Ama and his brothers will be implicated. ”

The old lady had already made a straight face: "In this case, let's let it go first." Speaking of which, it's all yours and not. When the third child was in Fengtian, you should stop him, how can you help him do that offending thing? Who is Suo Etu? That's the prince's maternal uncle! Now that your man has sinned against him, he will suffer with his whole family. If you were sensible, there would be no such thing!! ”

She was also in no mood, so she hurriedly sent Tong away, just close her eyes and recuperate.

Tong Shi felt that he had no strength in his body, so he barely walked outside the door, two little girls came up to help her, walked two steps, and saw Cuiying standing under the corridor, and a breath of anger surged up in his heart, but he was worried that his mother-in-law was still in the house, so he forced himself to leave with anger. As soon as she got out of the hospital, she met her second sister-in-law, shook off the two little girls, and helped her to go.

Cui Ying saw her go away, and she was also a little relieved in her heart, and then she hated someone again, and her gentle face in the past was distorted, and she gritted her teeth, she really couldn't tear that person to pieces.

====================== I'm the dividing line ===================== that transforms perspectives

Tong returned to Huaiyuan, retreated left and right, left and right, left the second sister-in-law alone, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly said what happened to Fang Cai. The second sister-in-law was shocked: "How can this be?" Isn't Miss Cuiying going to be matched with the second master? ”

The first time Tong heard this, he hurriedly asked what was going on, and the second sister-in-law told her the news she had heard from other subordinates, and then said: "I heard that the second master also has this meaning, I thought that the old lady had acquiesced, why did she suddenly say that she wanted to give Cuiying to the third master?" ”

Tong lowered his head and thought about it, and sneered: "Yes, when I went to ask for peace in the morning, I bumped into my second sister-in-law coming out of the house, and she smiled at me, presumably she did it." ”

The second sister-in-law said: "If it was really the second wife who instigated her behind her back, she must be jealous in her heart, and she was worried that Cuiying would compete for favor when she entered the door, but why did she find our third room?" Didn't the lord and the wife offend her? ”

"Hmph, she's the kind of person she is, and she can't look down on others. In the past two years, we have been a little closer to Dafang, and she has not liked us. Besides......" Tong thought for a while, "the big house already has two concubines, four rooms...... The fourth brother was on an errand outside, and the fourth brother and sister took the child back to their parents' house, and they couldn't come back for a while, and she couldn't send Cuiying away as soon as possible, so she would target us. ”

The second sister-in-law was a little puzzled: "Even the third wife and I can see that the second wife is uneasy and kind, why does the old lady still do this?" ”

Tong just sneered: "What's so difficult to understand, haven't you seen the dead Cui Qiao in the big room, the current Cui Ping, the Cui Zhen in the second room, the Cui Rui in our third room in the past, and the Jade that is not clear with the fourth brother in the house now, plus Cui Ying who is going to be inserted into our house now, can't you see it?" ”

The second sister-in-law gasped when she heard this: "These are the girls in the old lady's house, so the old lady is deliberately ......"

Tong nodded heavily: "Even if there is no second sister-in-law to intervene in it, the old lady will come in sooner or later, but now it happens to be Cuiying's girl." ”

The second sister-in-law frowned and said, "If Cuiying and the second master can't explain clearly, the old lady is not taboo?" Why did you choose her? ”

"There is already a Cui Zhen in the second room, and she is still favored, there is nothing to do, and the old lady will not send one more person to fight with her. Cui Ying had made a mistake herself. Anyway, it's time to put this matter down and put it aside. As long as the lord sets a vacancy during the national funeral, we will leave immediately, and we will not be afraid of others making ghosts again. Tong made up his mind.

In the evening, Tong Shi told Zhang Bao about this matter, although he was full of grievances, he also endured it, and asked him with a reluctant smile, if he wanted to find him one in two months, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that the two girls who married at the beginning were married outside, otherwise if you give it to you, you can also make me an arm." It would be best if that Cuiying girl could get into your eyes, otherwise I would find another caring and reliable person to serve you, so that the house could be more lively. ”

Zhang Bao is not unimpressed, since his wife is pregnant, he has been pure and has few desires for some time, although there is fun in the boudoir, but in the end it is not as attractive as warm fragrant nephrite. But seeing his wife's forced smile, he couldn't bear it. His wife has endured hardships with him for a few years, and if he accepts another newcomer at this time, he is really sorry for her. What's more, his wife's words reminded him of Cuirui back then, and he secretly became vigilant. The so-called knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, even Cuirui, who has been waiting for many years, will get carried away and hurt his children when he is favored, how do you know what the character of the newcomer is? In his heart, in the end, it is the heir who is the most important.

So he took his wife with pity and said softly, "What do I want to do with my concubine?" It is enough to have a lady. Don't worry, just take good care of your body, and give me a chubby child when the time comes. As for the matter of taking a concubine, I will go and tell Eniang and persuade her to dispel her mind. ”

Tong said worriedly: "Don't fight against Eniang for this, that's not mine." Zhang Bao smiled and comforted her: "I won't be so confused, besides, now is the national funeral, E-Niang will not mess around." ”

He comforted his wife until she fell asleep, and then went to the study and sat for a long time. The next morning, he went alone to greet his mother, and the mother and son talked for a long time.

No one knew what they said to each other, but in the days that followed, the old lady didn't mention it to the Tong family again. Tong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Shuning didn't know that her parents had a third-party crisis, and they still attended classes every day, practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and did needlework. The only thing that caught her attention was that Qiu Ju had been in a good mood recently, and she often had a smile on her face. Shu Ning asked her if she had anything happy, and she just smiled and said it was because of the good weather. But Qiaoyun next to her sneered when she heard her words. Qiu Ju glanced at her, didn't quarrel with her, turned around and lifted the curtain and went out.

Recently, Wanning has been at home all day and rarely goes out. Shuning asked her what the reason was, and she didn't say. Yuan Ning secretly told Shu Ning that Wan Ning always dragged the children of the powerful out to play, and those parents were worried that their children would play too much during the national funeral, which would cause dissatisfaction among the royal family, so they were not allowed to go out. Originally, someone took Wanning to participate in some literary poetry meetings or something, but because she was too young, others thought she was in the way, so she was not good at having fun in the name of the literary society, so they no longer invited her to go. And Wanning has not been to the palace a second time since she entered the palace once, and there were even gossips in the house, but it was only later that the queen mother sent someone to give some snacks to suppress those rumors.

Because the summer days were long, and the old lady was always sleeping, Wanning had nothing to do, so she often came to class. The water pavilion that serves as a classroom is built on the water, and it is cooler than other places because of the wind around it, making it an excellent place to escape the heat in the summer, and even Shuning likes to spend more time there.

The strange thing is that Yuan Ning has been calmer recently, and when she meets Wan Ning, although cynicism is indispensable, it is not like before, and she scolds at every turn.

One afternoon, it was almost class time, and Shu Ning and Yuan Ning were both preparing for the class in the water pavilion, but when they saw Wan Ning coming in a rage, as soon as they entered the door and sat down, they scolded loudly: "That hateful playboy! Don't succeed!! ”
