Chapter 412: The Wind Rises (I)

"The buds are small." Ji Ting's daughter-in-law explained tremblingly, "Sandwiched between the leaves and stems, you can't see it at first glance." It blooms in March and April and has an orchid-like fragrance. So I deliberately planted more in front of the hospital and behind the house. As he spoke, he glanced at Eleven Niang as if asking for help, "Not only is it planted in Mrs. Tai's house, but also on Mrs. Tai's side." ”

The culprit that made Eleven Niang vomit was nothing more than a few improved bluegrass plants planted in the yard. Who would have thought that Eleven Niang would be particularly sensitive to the taste of orchids after pregnancy!

This grass seed was planted at the beginning of spring, when there was no sign of pregnancy.

Mrs. Tai pondered in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief. instructed Ji Ting's daughter-in-law: "Clean up all the flowers and plants in the house, and don't plant those messy things in the future." ”

Ji Ting's daughter-in-law retreated in fear. The green cloud who begged her to go out: "Good girl, I don't know who found this blue grass?" The most important thing at hand is to pull out all the bluegrass. Seeing that it is afternoon, relying on a few mothers-in-law in our greenhouse alone, we will definitely not be able to finish it today. Ask the girl to lend me this first. As he spoke, he bent his knees and saluted Luyun, "The girl's great kindness, I'll report it when I'm busy in the next few days." ”

"Look at what my sister-in-law said." Lu Yun smiled, "It's all about Madame's business, what kind of great kindness." It's just that this matter of pulling out the maid has to be nodded by Sister Amber. Sister-in-law, wait a while, I'll go and ask Sister Amber. As he spoke, he was about to turn around when the plywood curtain in the hall was lifted, and the jade plate walked out.

"Sister Luyun, Mrs. Tai asked, who found the bluegrass, let me call in and speak."

Lu Yun responded with a smile and shouted "Shuangzhu" to a few maids standing on the side.

A little maid of seven or eight years old ran over.

Lu Yun pointed to the jade version: "This is the jade version sister next to Mrs. Tai, and I asked you to speak on the order of Mrs. Tai." ”

The little maid named Shuangzhu timidly followed in.

Seeing that the little maid was white and clean, thin and small, but her eyes were very flexible, she smiled and took her hand, stuffed a few pieces of candy into her, and kindly asked her what her name was, how old she was, what were her mothers and Lao Tzu doing, when did she enter the house, and where was she the first to work on an errand......

Although Shuangzhu was nervous, he was also articulate.

Knowing that she was the son of a family, her mother and Lao Tzu were both on errands in Zhuangzi, and she was introduced to the house by Mr. Bai, Mrs. Tai was a little surprised. Curious, he asked her, "How do you know this bluegrass?" ”

Shuangzhu said: "I often cut grass on Zhuangzi to feed pigs, this is not grass. ”

Mrs. Tai laughed when she heard this, turned her head and said to Eleven Niang: "You child, although naughty, is also a blessed one." You say, we are all over the yard, and there are a few maids who know what grass is and what is bluegrass. Partial birth is what you encountered. ”

Xu Lingyi also smiled when she heard it when she came back, and stroked Eleven Niang's forehead: "The one who is pregnant must be a daughter." Otherwise, how can it be so delicate! ”

Eleven Niang is half-lying on the pillow of the kang head, and she can see the maids and mothers-in-law pulling blue grass in front of the house through the glass window.

She thought of Mrs. Tai's excitement, her face turned crimson, she changed the topic abruptly, and asked Xu Sizhen, who was standing aside, "Do you want to go to the temple tomorrow?" ”

Xu Si said earnestly: "The master said that you can not go." But I want to go! ”

Mother and child are constantly cut blood relatives.

Eleven Niang nodded and said softly: "Then you go down and rest!" I'm going to get up early tomorrow morning! ”

Xu Si bowed earnestly and retreated.

As soon as I got out of the courtyard of Eleven Niang, a little maid ran over: "Fourth young master, fourth young master, Mother Tao asked me to come over and ask you, are you still going to Nian'en Hall to worship today?" ”

Xu Sichen recognized this little girl as Tao's mother's side, and said, "I'm about to go!" ”

The little maid led the way in front and went to Yuan Niang's former residence.

On the east wall of the inner room before Yuan Niang's death, there is a bust of Yuan Niang.

Xu Sichen stepped forward and saluted, saluted the incense, and Tao's mother invited him to sit down on the big kang near the window in the second room and poured tea with his own hands.

"Mommy, sit down and talk!" Xu Si said politely, "Mother's old residence, thanks to my mother's care." ”

Mother Tao didn't sit down, stood in front of Xu Sizhen, and said respectfully: "This is my business." As he spoke, he saw that Xu Sizhen's eyes were slightly wet, and he hesitated for a long time before he whispered: "The fourth young master has grown a little taller than the previous two months!" "It's very emotional.

Xu Sizhen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao asked me to walk around the small courtyard of the back cover room ten times every morning. As he spoke, he happily jumped off the kang and jumped a few times on the spot.

"Mom, do you think I'm stronger than before?"

Mother Tao thought that if Yuan Niang was there, she didn't know how happy she would be when she saw Xu Sizhen like this. The corners of his eyes moistened, and he nodded again and again: "More powerful than before, stronger than before!" ”

Xu Sizhen's eyes suddenly brightened when he listened, and he pursed his lips and smiled, with a few innocent childishness, just like Yuan Niang back then.

Mother Tao looked stunned, her heart sour.

Xu Sizhen has gossiped with Tao's mother: "What is Mom doing these days? Why didn't you go to see me? ”

Mother Tao hurriedly gathered her mind and said with a smile: "Mom is old, she had a cold a few days ago, and she was afraid that she would give her illness to the fourth young master, so she didn't go to say goodbye to the fourth young master." Saying that, a little maid came in with Poria cake, and Mother Tao took it and put it on the kang table with her own hands, "This is made by the slave maid herself, the fourth young master tastes it, is it still delicious?" ”

Poria cake is fragrant and glutinous, and there are a few raisins in it, Xu Si nodded with a smile: "It's delicious!" ”

Mother Tao smiled and poured a cup of tea for Xu Sichen: "Put raisins in the Poria cake, this is still your mother's idea." If the fourth young master thinks it is delicious, I will often make it for the fourth young master in the future. ”

I heard that I learned it from my deceased mother, so Xu Sizhen ate two more pieces.

Tao's mother asked about Xu Sichen's visit to the temple.

"Originally, I was going to do a water and land dojo in the side hall, but when Mrs. Jining saw that her father was gone, she changed it to the apse of the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Four seven twenty-eight people, the eldest disciple of Jining Shitai is the first, leading the recitation of the Lotus Sutra and worshipping the Samadhi water confession. ”

If the father doesn't go, the mother's dojo will be held in the side hall.

Thinking of this, Xu Sizhen revealed several disappointments in his words.

It would be nice if the mother wasn't sick......

Hearing this, a trace of hatred flashed in Tao's mother's eyes, and she sighed softly: "If this is a family, why is there only four seven twenty-eight people, how can there be five seven hundred and thirty-five people!" ”

Xu Sizhen shook his head: "But Mr. Zhao said, Mrs. Tai is here, and it can't exceed the number of five or seven." ”

"So it's better to be at home!" Tao's mother smiled, "In your own home, you don't need to be so exquisite." It's not impossible to make a number of five or seven. Sighing again, "Fortunately, the Hou Ye went, otherwise, how could it be changed to the apse of the Daxiong Treasure Palace?" It was also the bad luck of our aunt and grandmother that she was not in good health when she met the fourth lady. Otherwise, Mrs. Tai would not have temporarily decided to go to Ciyuan Temple to do a dojo, and the sacrifice day of the eldest aunt and grandmother would not be so deserted. ”

Xu Sichen listened to it and comforted Tao's mother: "It's just that this year is special." In previous years, it was done at home! ”

Mother Tao saw that he looked ignorant of the world, so she was even more anxious, thought for a while, and asked, "Fourth Young Master, how did I hear that the fourth lady smelled the fragrance of flowers, so it's not good!" Then he added, "Speaking of which, our fourth lady is an elegant person. I like to fiddle with narcissus by myself, not to mention, and often let the daughter-in-law of that season plant some rare things according to her wishes. If nothing else, let's talk about the gardenia. It's a flower in the south, and it's easy to feed in the north. She specially pulled out the silver to Ji Ting's daughter-in-law, and insisted that Ji Ting's daughter-in-law cultivate it. Also give people everywhere. It makes others envy our family's conservatory, saying that it is even more powerful than the Fengtai flower room dedicated to the inner palace. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of fat, I listened to the drum in my heart, for fear that the palace would blame the Hou Ye for this! ”

Mrs. Tai has always told Xu Sizhen to act in a low-key manner and not to be publicized. He listened to Tao's mother's words and felt that there were some similarities with what Mrs. Tai said. Said seriously: "Mom, don't worry. I'll tell my mother about it privately. When my mother found out, she would definitely not send flowers everywhere anymore. As he spoke, he thought of Eleven Niang's frightened appearance, and then he would show a happy and sincere expression, grateful for his reminder...... There was a little excitement in his heart.

Mother Tao was very surprised that Xu Sizhen was defenseless against Eleven Niang. Shen said: "The fourth lady is an elder, and the fourth young master should pay attention when he speaks." Otherwise, Hou Ye would feel that the fourth young master had less respect for the fourth lady. I think, you have to remind the fourth lady, it is better to tell Mother Du, in this way, with a middleman, the fourth lady will have a better face. ”

Xu Sizhen faintly felt that this was inappropriate in his heart, thought about it, and said, "In this way, won't grandmother also know!" ”

"You don't know." Mother Tao said with a smile, "Mother Du is the most powerful person around Mrs. Tai, what to say and what not to say, she has a rod and scale in her heart." Otherwise, everything would have been shouted in front of Mrs. Tai, and it would be good to say, but if it was bad, Mrs. Tai would have been annoyed to death a long time ago. ”

When the servants heard something, they would consider and speak according to the principle of "reporting good news but not bad news", and Xu Sizhen knew this.

Xu Sichen nodded slightly.

Mother Tao smiled in the depths of her eyes, and added: "People who like flowers and plants almost hurt themselves because of flowers and plants, such twists and turns can be regarded as good swimming and drowning!" ”

"I went to Mother Tao!" Eleven Niang lazily snuggled on the pillow, "Do you know what you said?" ”

Yan Rong shook his head lightly and said, "I sent someone to serve in the house at that time." However, the fourth young master was still happy when he went in, but when he came out, he looked worried. After going back, I barely ate a few bites of food and said I was full! ”

Shi Niang nodded slightly, and pondered: "It seems that I have to talk to Mr. Zhao!" ”

Yan Rong listened and whispered: "Madam, I think, it's better to find an excuse to send Mother Tao back to her son......"

"What excuse do you say?" Eleven Niang listened and looked at Yanrong.

Yan Rong was embarrassed for a while, and muttered, "She doesn't move around anywhere now except to go to greet the fourth young master...... Now that you are pregnant again, I am afraid that in the eyes of those who have a heart, you will feel that you have a child, and there is no room for sand in your eyes......"
