Eleven Niang stood at the door of the clean room and talked to Xu Lingyi: "I said that I was uncomfortable when I went to Cheng Guogong's Mansion yesterday." That's how I found out. Hurriedly asked Amber to ask Imperial Doctor Wu, who helped Aunt Qiao take care of her illness that time, to come over and take a look. ”

"If you really can't do it, send it to the Fallen Leaf Mountain Courtyard to cultivate!" Xu Lingyi's expression was a little cold, "There are a few children living in the house, what if this is too sick?" ”

"The diagnosis of the imperial doctor has not come out yet, and the Hou Ye has settled his aunt's place." Eleven Niang smiled, "I have to wait for the results to come out!" ”

While the two were talking, Amber came: "Madam, Imperial Doctor Wu is here!" ”

Eleven Niang responded, and said to Xu Lingyi with a smile: "It was the Hou Ye who was not at home before. Now that he's back, it's better for Hou Ye to ask about the situation! ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, washed up and went to the hall.

Although there was a gap between them, Shi Niang still heard the exaggerated voice of Imperial Physician Wu's joy: "Master Hou, congratulations, Mrs. Ru is happy pulse." ”

"Ahh Xu Lingyi's voice was surprised with a few joys, and he whispered something to Imperial Doctor Wu.

Eleven Niang sat on the edge of the kang and pondered.

Tao's mother thought of it with herself. There are still many months left between pregnancy and childbirth. Who knows what will happen. Not long after I entered the door, I haven't gained a firm foothold, so I can't pull my own people in. You'll have to find a way to throw this hot potato out!

Her mind was racing. Seeing the curtain lifted, Xu Lingyi walked in with a smile on her face.

"Eleven Niang, Aunt Qiao is a happy pulse."

Eleven Niang's thoughts were still a little unfocused, and she learned from Imperial Doctor Wu to say "Congratulations to Master Hou".

Xu Lingyi smiled and said, "Let's go over and see her!" ”

"Okay!" Eleven Niang responded and went out with Xu Lingyi, "It's just right, we're going to Mrs. Tai later." Let her old man be happy and happy. ”

Xu Lingyi said "um", his tone was brisk, and he could see that he was in a good mood.

Qiao Lianfang was lying on the bed in a daze, and when she saw the two of them entering, she immediately sat up: "Master Hou, madam!" ”

A pair of wonderful eyes were shy and timid, only staring at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi sat on the edge of the bed: "How do you feel?" The tone was very gentle.

Qiao Lianfang lowered her head, her face was flushed, and she didn't make a sound.

On the side, Xiu Lu interjected with a smile: "Auntie just doesn't want to eat." ”

"No, no!" Qiao Lianfang denied it repeatedly, but her eyes looked at Shi Niang timidly, as if she was worried that Shi Niang would be angry - you know, not long after Shi Niang got married, she cut down the small kitchen in the courtyard of her aunts.

Xu Lingyi had faintly heard about it.

When she set up that small kitchen, it was Yuan Niang's meaning - she didn't want to eat in the same pot with a few aunts. Later, a lot of things happened, the aunts moved in, but Yuan Niang lived in Dianchun Hall, but this small kitchen was still used by the aunts. Later, when Eleven Niang got married, everyone ate at Mrs. Tai's, and the kitchen in the courtyard used less. Eleven Niang put the two kitchens together, and only let the kitchen in the aunt's yard be used to boil water and the like...... Hearing Qiao Lianfang say this, he also looked at Eleven Niang.

Anyway, the kitchen is idle, and now Qiao Lianfang is in a special situation, so it is also appropriate to take care of her.

Of course, Eleven Niang knew the meaning of Qiao Lianfang's words, and she could guess Xu Lingyi's thoughts.

When a few children were born, or when the Hou Mansion was stormy, or when the Xu family helped the Seven Princes to win the championship, where was the mood to enjoy the fun of being a father. Now it's a different story. Xu Lingyi has now grown into a seasoned politician, and even if there are storms, he does not have the fear of the past. Success and fame, leisure at home, money and leisure. Being a father again is more about enjoyment than responsibility. Different moods will have different feelings about Qiao Lianfang's pregnancy.

She understood, but she couldn't agree.

The order is changed overnight, and it is a taboo for those in power.

"Auntie, it's fine." Eleven Niang calmly faced the eyes of the two, "My aunt is also pregnant. It is said that he only likes to eat hot and sour things, and some of the pickled things at home are all moved to my aunt. ”

Qiao Lianfang lowered her head when she heard this.

Her red lips were pursed, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, looking very aggrieved.

Although Xu Lingyi remained silent, she was very surprised in her heart.

Eleven Niang is a very shrewd woman, with her temperament, it is impossible not to know what she means...... But still tactfully refused.

Is it because she is afraid that Qiao Lianfang's pregnancy and childbirth will threaten her status? Or is it just jealousy?

In front of Qiao Lianfang, it is not the place to speak.

He stood up with a smile and said to Qiao Lianfang: "Since you have nothing to do, then take a good rest!" My wife and I went to Mrs. Tai's place, and she also made her old man happy. ”

Qiao Lianfang naturally could hear the meaning of Eleven Niang's words.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

I didn't expect Eleven Niang to refuse Hou Ye, let alone Hou Ye without saying anything, just forget it!

Qiao Lianfang couldn't help but look at Xu Lingyi.

I saw that his expression was gentle, his eyes were clear, and there was no displeasure at all.

Her pink-painted hand clenched into a fist.

The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he struggled to get up to send Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang.

Xu Lingyi stopped her: "You are now a double-body person, don't talk about those false courtesies." ”

Yesterday her mother told her that the first trimester of the child's life is the most likely to have a miscarriage, and she must stay in bed. Qiao Lianfang was also worried about the child in her belly. Seeing Xu Lingyi say this, he no longer insisted, and asked Xiulu to send the Xu couple out.

Eleven Niang didn't want to drag this matter into a lump between the two.

When he got out of the courtyard of Qiao Lian's room, he said bluntly: "Master Hou, I understand what you mean. There is only hot water in the kitchenette and no cooking, that's what I said. It's been less than half a year, and the voice hasn't fallen yet, and you asked me to make an example for Aunt Qiao...... Hou Ye is a person who has commanded thousands of armies and horses, so he naturally knows the disadvantages of changing the order every day. If you really feel sorry for Aunt Qiao, you might as well take your own money to subsidize her. But reopen the kitchen for her. The concubine can't be agreed to no matter what. ”

Xu Lingyi was very surprised.

In his impression, most women will pull out a lot of messy and irrelevant things to hide their purposes, and few are like Shi Niang, who is open and honest and straightforward. And when you think about it, her words make a lot of sense. This is indeed an inappropriate one's own doing.

"You're right. I don't think much about it. As you wish! ”

Xu Lingyi is not a person who can't listen to words and is stubborn.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Eleven Niang stopped being verbose, smiled and said, "Thank you for the embarrassment of the concubine's body", and went to Mrs. Tai with Xu Lingyi.

Mrs. Tai was very happy to find out.

Let Du's mother take some supplements and reward them to Qiao Lianfang.

Eleven Niang thanked her and took the opportunity to discuss with Mrs. Tai: "Mother, I am young and have experienced few things, and I don't know if I can take good care of Aunt Qiao properly." As for Aunt Qiao's side, most of them are little girls who have not married, and they don't understand these things. You can help me and send two experienced mothers to serve Aunt Qiao. Lest I be worried. ”

Mrs. Tai sighed in her heart when she heard this.

In the end, it is a concubine, and Yuan Niang will not be compared. At that time, the eldest lady accompanied several shrewd people in the Luo family as companions.

Since Eleven Niang doesn't have the help of her mother's family, then help her herself!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately said, "I asked Mother Du to pick two capable ones from my yard for you to serve Aunt Qiao." ”

Eleven Niang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

There is a lady in his own yard, and in case something happens, there is also a clear witness.

"I'm afraid the building of the house will have to stop." Mrs. Tai instructed Xu Lingyi, "Wait for the first three months to pass and then pick a day!" ”

According to custom, the first trimester of pregnancy is not allowed to break ground.

"I think so too." Xu Lingyi said, "But it's okay to push it to June - the days are longer in June, so it's faster to build a house." ”

"And don't wait. It's the same when the ground is grounded. Eleven Niang smiled, "I just don't know if those stones can be returned." ”

And so it was settled.

Then everyone knew about Qiao Lianfang's pregnancy, and congratulated Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, as if Eleven Niang was pregnant, and Eleven Niang was quite ridiculous.

However, thinking that all the children in Xu Lingyi's future will theoretically belong to themselves, I kind of understand the meaning of this.

The two of them came out of Mrs. Tai. Xu Lingyi asked the little maid to pass the message to Mr. Bai: "...... The house will be built on an auspicious day in June. When you arrive, you can put the stones in the courtyard of Mt. Fallen Leaves for the time being! ”

Eleven Niang instructed Amber to prepare some gifts: "...... Then call Tao's mother. Let her go to Chengguo's Mansion with gifts and tell Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao about Aunt Qiao's happy pulse. lest they be worried. ”

looked up and saw Xu Lingyi looking at her with a puzzled face.

"Oh, Mrs. Qiao asked about it early this morning when she sent her mother to deliver something." Shi Niang explained, "Now that I know that it is Ximai, I should reply to Mrs. Qiao." ”

Xu Lingyi said strangely: "Mrs. Qiao? Mrs. Joe asked someone to bring something? ”

Since Qiao Lianfang became a concubine, except for Mrs. Qiao, no one else in the Qiao family has had any contact with her.

"What to send?"

"It's a tent." Eleven Niang said, "A silk yarn tent painted in ink." Grandpa Qiao Guo brought it back from Xuantong. Mrs. Joe kept it at the bottom of the box and was reluctant to use it. I heard that Aunt Qiao likes it, so it took the mothers most of the night to find it. Delivered early in the morning. ”

"She asked Mrs. Joe for a bill?" Xu Lingyi's voice was low, and her expression was a little weird, "Mrs. Qiao also sent someone to ask about Aunt Qiao's situation early in the morning?" ”

Eleven Niang nodded, but saw Xu Lingyi's sideburns and green tendons rising.

Why are you suddenly upset? Is it because Qiao Lianfang asked Mrs. Qiao for something and felt that her self-esteem was hurt? Or is it that this account is famous? It may be a bribe received by Cheng Guogong, Xu Lingyi is afraid of involving the Xu family?

While thinking nonsense, she smiled and said, "Master Hou, what's the matter?" It's just a tent! If you think it's inappropriate for Aunt Qiao to accept it. The concubine sent someone to prepare a heavy gift to compensate for it, and just send the account back! ”

It's okay if she doesn't say it, the more she says, the worse Xu Lingyi's face becomes, and in the end, she is faintly blue.

Shi Niang saw that something was wrong, so she got up and made tea for Xu Lingyi: "Master Hou has something to say, why be angry!" ”

Xu Lingyi "clapped" a palm on the kang table, and the teacup jumped "bang": "Ridiculous!" ”
