It was still early for Yuhualou to eat, but Liu Zhi had just been hit hard and couldn't sit down in the shop anymore, so he simply went shopping.

She has not been pregnant for three years, and the glue of their mouths is obvious to all, sometimes in the middle of the day to harmoniously call the apricot to start to be ashamed, and then they are used to it, will consciously bring an embroidered bandage to sit outside the house. Both of them looked very healthy, and Li Chun was especially strong and tall. couldn't find anything wrong in all aspects, and Xingrui had to comfort her that the fate had not yet arrived.

In fact, Li Chun is not in a hurry, he doesn't feel anything about the heir, probably he is used to being alone and has no idea of family continuity, and she is already very satisfied. Willow Branch was not in a hurry, but she couldn't stand Xingrui and others being anxious for her, she whispered in her ear every day, boiling soup and delivering water at two ends for three days, and other women on the island were also anxious for her, and they provided various secret recipes for childbirth.

But in terms of giving birth to children, people always attribute the reason to women, and some people began to talk about whether Li Chun's wife could not give birth, and then someone sent him a concubine, a slip, it is no exaggeration, five beauties from the mainland came down from the boat in front of her, and they saluted and called Mrs.

Due to the change of the imperial court's policy towards maritime merchants, Swallow Island became an important transit point, and the Bai family's fleet returned from Nanyang to unload at least half of the goods on Swallow Island and then enter Nanquan, and the goods were sent inland by feather boats. Some empty ships even stop at Swallow Island after unloading their cargo, and then turn back to Nanyang from Swallow Island when the monsoon rises. Those pepper cloves, pearl gemstones, ambergris agarwood slowly turned into the products of Swallow Island.

So everyone is eager to have a relationship with Swallow Island. The beauty of this boat is the handiwork of a wealthy businessman.

The beauty is either bewitching or pure, it is really a ring of fat and thin, each with its own strengths, and the willow branches are dazzling. An old mother who came with me said with a smile: "My master doesn't know what Master Li likes, and he estimates that the southern beauties and the northern rouge have been carefully selected, and there is always one that he likes." ”

Seeing that Liu Zhi looked dumbfounded, he lowered his voice a little: "The old slave said something over, this heir is a big deal, Mrs. should be a virtuous person, and it is good to praise Mrs. outside-" Before he finished speaking, he slapped Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi was furious, it happened that Li Chun went out to run errands and was not on Swallow Island, no one vented this breath, so she ran to Nanquan.

She wandered around, bought a box of rouge in Wan Huchun, tried to go over one box at a time, lipstick and blush, used it for more than half an hour, what jasmine purple peach blossom powder, smelled fragrant, looked good.

Then I asked the man at the silk shop next door to unfold all the materials, and finally bought a very ugly cloth, the color of pickles, the pattern of copper coins, and it felt like mold on the body. "Little sister-in-law, why are you buying this, it will be disgusted to cushion the white sugar cake." That's right, White Sugar Cake is a cat with an extremely good aesthetic.

Liu Zhi said: "This cloth looks so pitiful, buy it, it can always be used." She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's always okay to make socks for you." ”

The guy probably didn't expect that this cloth would be sold in his lifetime, so he hurriedly answered: "The little lady is right, touch this cloth is thick, soft, and sweat-absorbing, and it is better to make socks." ”

Zhang San hugged the cloth, and the group dragged and dragged around, taking a look. The one who stayed the most was not a rouge gouache shop, but a grocery store. After the group came out, Zhang San had an extra bundle of ten bowls in his hand, and the boss tied them with straw.

On the side of the road, there was a cleanly dressed old woman selling flowers in a dustpan, and Liu Zhi bought a bouquet of ginger flowers, and then everyone was finally able to sit down and eat fried clams at the roadside stall.

The clams weren't cleaned up enough, and the sand was teething. "This craft also dares to come out to set up a stall, which is far worse than my sister-in-law." Zhang San felt that he was telling the truth while shimping on the sand.

The shopkeeper saw that his arms were as thick as his thighs, and his open chest was covered with thick black hair, like a live bear, and he dared not speak angrily; Glancing at the little woman holding the flowers, with big eyebrows and big eyes, upright and pretty, how could a good woman of a good family mix with this rude man like a robber.

"I think so too," Xing Rui persuaded her, "Lady, you see we have eaten, drunk, and bought a lot of things, so it's better to go back later." Everyone is waiting for you to make something delicious tonight, and they all say that they have been at sea for so many days and are supported by the thought of this meal. If you don't have a gamble, everyone will be disappointed. ”

Liu Zhi's feet were sore after walking for a long time, and her anger came out a lot, she and Li Chun hadn't seen each other for five or six days, so naturally they missed it. And even if you want to get angry, you should be in front of him, and he can't see it when he sults here, what's the use?

Thinking about this, she said "hmm", seeing that she was said to be moved, Xingrui couldn't help but be overjoyed, Zhang San also wanted to fight for the mutton in Yuhualou, Xingrui stepped on him, and said viciously: "You want to be scolded by Master Li, don't hurt me!" ”

Since he decided to go back to Swallow Island, Liu Zhi was not in a hurry, he simply bought a lot of daily necessities, and went to Yuhualou to ask the guys to take the mutton in a crockpot and take them away.

The three of them were happy and ready to return. At this time, a group of healthy servants hugged a sedan chair and passed by, and the movements were quite hurried, and passers-by avoided them one after another.

"Sister-in-law, she is a member of the Bai family, and she is the head of the family." Zhang Sanniu's eyes widened. Liu Zhi looked at the sedan curtain painted with the pattern of three lions playing with beads, which was an emblem that could only be used by the head of the Bai family. But the pomp and circumstance that followed by the sedan chair was not large, and it was obviously not Madame Pearl.

When the sedan chair passed by the three of them, Liu Zhi heard the cry of a child coming from inside, and she didn't think much about it when she saw the sedan chair stop for a while, and the people inside gave something, and saw a woman next to the sedan chair walking towards her, smiling, and opening her mouth to say, "Isn't this Mrs. Li?" ”

Liu Zhi was shocked by this title, although she and Li Chun have been married for three years, but the island calls her sister-in-law casually every day, or calls her Niangzi and Li Niangzi like Xingrui. was solemnly called "Mrs. Li" like this, and she immediately understood that this was the wife of the white eleventh master who had cooked for him.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law said: "Eleventh young grandmother went out to do something, and it was inconvenient to stop, so ask the old woman to say hello to you." You don't say hello when you have time to visit the city, in fact, you are not an outsider, you need to say hello at will. ”

Liu Zhi was uncomfortable: "Hehe, don't worry about me, I'm an idler, you do your business." ”

At this time, a series of mournful shouts came faintly from behind, and the mother-in-law's face changed, and she saw that the sedan chair continued to move forward, and several sturdy attendants were already making a vigilant posture in the middle of the road.

"Give me back my child—" A woman stumbled over, followed by the maid and mother-in-law, calling "lady".

The woman was stopped by a wall of people, and she was disheveled, frantically beating and screaming for her baby. The passers-by have already dispersed before they are driven away, is the bustle of the Bai Family's Three Lions Hall so good-looking?

Only Liu Zhi was still standing on the side of the road and watching, and of course Zhang San and Xingrui followed her inch by inch. The woman said "Mrs. Li is a joke" and was about to turn around, but her wrist was firmly grasped, Liu Zhi's face was so white that there was no trace of blood, and her voice changed: "What's going on?" ”

The mother-in-law also felt a little embarrassed that her ugly things happened to be seen by her, and everyone knew that the Three Lions Hall and Li Chun were at odds, so that Li Chun took the excuse of "Mrs. didn't like me and embarrassed my mother-in-law" and left the Bai family, and Swallow Island officially surfaced.

Bai Qiye swore that Swallow Island did not belong to his outer nine rooms, so it did not belong to the Bai family's industry, and it was so that the Three Lions Hall could not get a piece of the pie.
