Su Niang cried so much that she couldn't open her eyes, covered her mouth with her sleeves, and desperately suppressed the sound of whimpering, |I have been married for five years... Emperor...... The emperor talks most about having more sons and more blessings...... I'm also afraid of ruining your future......"

Chen Yan raised his sleeves to wipe away her tears, "You don't have to worry about this. The elder brothers in the capital all have no sons, isn't the emperor still spoiled? The eighth master's current scenery, I'm afraid that the prince can't catch up. The emperor was worried about our marriage at the beginning, where does he have time to worry about my family affairs now? If I have to ask, I will say that you have suffered from the cold and wet for me, and you are taking medicine, and you are getting better, and the emperor is not easy to say.

No matter how you are, you have also stayed in the palace, and it is also the dignity of the emperor and the queen mother, if we don't mess up ourselves, what else can we do......" paused, and said softly: "If the emperor doesn't like it, I will resign and take you back to the countryside to live......"

Qi Su Niang looked at Chen Yan in a daze, and finally cried and threw herself into Chen Yan's arms. Chen Yan hugged Qi Su Niang and slowly touched her head, "I'm sorry, you've been struggling with this in your heart, but I haven't been considerate of how much ......"

Qi Su Niang cried and shook her head desperately, and the more she cried, the more she cried, "No, you didn't stand up to me." In the past few years of marriage, you have not once mentioned the child's affairs in front of me. It's just that the more you are like this, the more I can't get over it in my heart...... I dare to tell you what is on my mind......"

Chen Yan hugged Qi Su Niang tightly, "It's me who was confused, I didn't think about this matter earlier, and you were wronged." Later, I figured it out, but I didn't explain it clearly...... Actually, I ...... I'm also afraid that you'll think too much...... A place like Yangzhou City ......"

Seeing that it was getting dark, Bi'er and Zhi'er looked at the closed door of the east wing, smiled at each other, and walked away. Bi'er asked in a low voice, "Sister Bi'er, Brother Xiaolian said, you asked your grandfather about the things in that building, why didn't I see you tell grandma about it—and the rules of the hairpin—"

Bill shook his head and said, "What kind of person is Ye, we don't understand, Grandma still doesn't understand." The master is fond of Su Gaosan, and he will also follow the rules of three teas and six ceremonies. At the banquet that day, grandma didn't care about the hairpins - grandma just wanted to understand. ”

Zhi'er seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and smiled for a while, and then said confusedly: "But Brother Xiaolian, he also said that the master was waiting to carry Su Gaosan in to kowtow to grandma for tea, and he clearly understood the master's intentions." ”

"Xiao Lian understands the master, or does Mr. Zhou understand the master? Since Tanabata says no, it must be none. The rules of Yangzhou City, who didn't win the lottery and carry a concubine into the door by the way? Bi'er sighed, "Don't talk about the people outside, it's the two of us, who would believe that the lord doesn't have this mind, and there are a few officials and gentry in Yangzhou City who don't take concubines, grandma hasn't come out for five years, and the lord will carry one at this time, which is already very missive of the old love." Grandma—" Biller smiled wryly, "it's too famous." ”

Zhi'er thought for a while. Nodding. "There are even a lot of uncles and concubines in Caolian Mansion. It's still wrapped in it. ”

Bill teased. "You're just watching your grandfather and grandma live their lives wholeheartedly in our house. It's confusing. I forgot what it was like out there. ”

The bed tent is ajar. Qi Su Niang was especially sleeping. Chen Yan got out of bed in his clothes. Light the candlestick. Just about to summon Bill. A touch of the foot. I saw the text that was twisted into a ball with Hua Tian. Confused. Reached out and picked it up.

He took a few steps away. I was looking down by the candlelight. At first, his face changed color in shock. Suddenly looked back at the bed. "Su-" paused again. Chen Yan slowly sat down in front of the dressing table. Hold your head. I pondered it. The candlelight flickered. His face flickered brightly and darkly.

It's been a long time. Chen Yan finally sighed. Pinch your eyebrows. Muttering. "I'm out to be an official. Restrained her. Follow me every day and live in fear. She was a person who didn't want to say much. If I am also restrained. It's not going to happen. Slowly put the text in his hand to the candle flame. Smile wryly. She wouldn't say. I'm the only one who says more......" Navin burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Biller could see the lights on. I can hear Chen Yan say hello. Hurriedly carried water with Zhi'er into the room. She saw Chen Yan say a few words in a soft voice to Qi Su Niang. So he went out of the room and talked about business with Tanabata. helped Qi Su Niang to sit in front of the dressing table. She combed Qi Su Niang's hair at the same time. He whispered: "The slave maid inquired from Qixi's mouth." The master didn't prepare for the tea ceremony at all. Miss Su is still living in the Ten Bow Building. I heard that I have suffered a lot. Nor will he settle down at any time. Said to be out of the way. Disdain for concubines. I won't marry in this life. She is a ...... who dares to say and do" and smiled: "Ye is such a person." It's really rare. It's Xiaolian and the slave. Waiting every day. Who would have thought of it......"

Qi Su Niang stared at the ashes-stained paper on the dressing table in a daze, and was speechless for a long time......

The water of the Cao River, from north to south, flows directly to Yangzhou. The fourth elder brother returned to the capital for three months, and it was nearly a year old, and the snowflakes in the sky slowly floated up, tearing cotton and wrapping Yangzhou City into powdered jade. Xiao Qinhuai has already formed a thin layer of ice, reflecting the black lacquer Sanshan Gate of Caolian Mansion brightly, and the palace lantern paper horse hanging on the door for the New Year is swaying in the cold wind.

Qi Qiang wore a big fur warm hat and a green fox fur coat, rode his horse and galloped to the front of Caolian Mansion, hurriedly dismounted, and immediately had the door head come forward to pick him up

While walking towards you, he threw two melon seeds at random. The doorman smiled and followed him all the way: "Go and report to the second master, the third master Qi has come back from Hangzhou." ”

When Qi Qiang passed the second gate, he saw that the gourd lake was covered with layers of thick snow, white and crystalline, and it was very lovely.

Li Siqin was wearing a homely woven gold cotton brocade robe, with a cane on the pillar, and threw the little guy who followed him far away, and limped over from the flying bridge, "Qi San, you kid, you don't wait for me to come back from the boat when you come to Yangzhou, and you go out to play with your sister in a blink of an eye. ”

Qi Qiang hurriedly greeted him, held him and said with a smile: "What are you anxious about, my sister has a body, so I naturally have to take care of her." Li Siqin cracked his mouth and laughed, looking straight behind him, "Why didn't your sister come?" Is she relieved now? My little sister-in-law heard that your sister-in-law was pregnant, and she burned incense in Yangzhou City, and asked you every day about the day when she returned to the city, and she was not afraid to fight in the air. ”

Lianxiang sat in the back house of the mansion, holding Qi Su Niang's hand, staring at her slightly bulging belly in a daze, "This ...... It's been four months......"

Qi Su Niang bit her lip, desperately restrained the smile on her face, and couldn't help but say: "I said that I was conceived at the beginning of August, but I didn't notice it at all, I only felt that my waist was fatter." Half a month ago, I went to Hangzhou with my brother, and I vomited when I ate vinegar fish in West Lake. Covering his mouth and smiling, "My brother was frightened at that time, and he refused to move, but wrote to him to pick up ......."

Lianxiang couldn't laugh, "I also heard that Lord Futai was inspecting the palace of Tianning Temple, and as soon as he received the letter, he ran all the way to the dock, and the officials in the city were shocked and thought that ......the emperor had arrived."

The women in the room laughed, and Sister Gui looked at Qi Su Niang and said with a smile: "Madame has to take care of it and give birth to a strong doll." ”

When Lian Xiang heard this, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, Qi Su Niang looked at her and said, "What's the matter, Hai Jing's body is still not very good?" ”

"His mother was already afraid of the cold, and he is like this now, there is not a day in the winter that no one is worried. Even if I came to see you today, I didn't dare to ask Rui'er to come with me, no one was watching from the side, so I didn't worry. is the master, and he rarely goes out in winter, and sees Tian'er hugging Haijing. ”

Qi Su Niang slowly touched her belly, "She ...... now."

Lian Xiang didn't speak for a long time, even Sister Gui couldn't bear it, Lian Xiang sighed: "It's also her brothers who did the evil, the gang leader in Huai'an in October was sick quickly, and she was in a hurry to recruit the master to go back, so it was expected that her brothers were hooked up with the second gang leader in Huai'an to calculate the master." If it weren't for the second master who happened to come back from the capital by boat and pass by Huai'an, I am afraid that the master would suffer a big loss......"

Sister Gui shook her head and said, "At first, the second master wanted to accept the Yizheng, if it weren't for the second master saying that they were also Hai Jing's uncles, they would be able to support Hai Jing in the future...... sighed, "She didn't lose her life, it can be regarded as a grandfather's affection...... It's just that I'm just staying in that yard for the rest of my life......"

Qi Su Niang reluctantly smiled: "Isn't there still Hai Jing, he has grown up......"

Sister Gui looked at Lianxiang, "Master has already brought Haijing to the name of my aunt, and besides, the body of the stalk branch can't stand it...... Even the great river is now not even sending charcoal to the big river, and even the big boat is not even sending charcoal there...... The people looked at the lord and ignored it, and the more ......"

Qi Su Niang was silent for a long time, "I heard that the second master was also injured......

Lian Xiang nodded and sighed: "No wonder the master and the second master are good, if it weren't for the second master's hard work this time...... I heard from the big boat that when he was carried out, he was a bloody man, and there were always seventy or eighty wounds on his body, large and small...... It's also thanks to him and Dahe that they protected the grandfather......"

Sister Gui said with a smile: "The second master is strong, Dahe is still in bed, he is now alive with crutches, and when he heard that the third master and his wife are coming back today, they shouted to go out......"

Qi Su Niang laughed, "I said that when I arrived at the shore today, how could the big boss stay on the dock and say a few words to my brother, as soon as my brother heard it, he got on the horse and left alone, thinking that he was going to see the second master......" looked down at his belly, "While his belly is not too big, I will also go to see him, I will not be able to go out in a few days......"

In Lian Cao's Mansion, Lian Zhenyun, Li Siqin, and Qi Qiang are sitting around the stove in the East Water Pavilion to drink wine and enjoy the snow, and the water pavilion is also on the ground fire, and there are pots of narcissus on the table on both sides of the Water Pavilion. The delicate panes were all replaced with sandalwood boards, and the warm curtains were lowered on three sides, leaving only one facing the lake, and the snow began to float again, and the snow scene on the gourd lake became more and more calm.

There were twenty kinds of wine persuasion plates and four kinds of wine on the table of the eight immortals, and the three of them were happy to gossip and drink. "When does Boss Lian plan to go to Huai'an?" Qi Qiang looked at Lian Zhenyun, "In the end, that is the Caoyun Hub." ”
