Anping Street, Su Mansion, Buddha low back.

Xu Qinghe came into the house, found Li Bozhou, who was busy in the front yard, and said, "Brother-in-law is tired of this. ”

Li Bozhou took a look, and saw that the woman's complexion was no longer as haggard as yesterday, thinking that she was afraid that she would hide in Xu's mansion and cry for a long time, and he was concerned about her at the moment: "Cousin, take a good rest for a few days, I can handle these things." Cousin has breakfast available? The food was kept warm in the kitchen. ”

"I'll use it later. Does mother take care of Jingshu in the backyard? Xu Qinghe asked.

Li Bozhou nodded in response, "After breakfast, Jingshu wanted to come to the main hall to guard, but my aunt disagreed and ordered her to stay in bed. My cousin will go to talk to her, so as not to cry under the quilt. ”

"Good. I'll go see Ah Jin first. Xu Qinghe hurriedly responded.

At this time, the little maid ran in quickly and said to the two, "Uncle, Miss Cousin." Lord Shen personally came to mourn the old man 1

"Come out with me to greet 1 Li Bozhou immediately commanded, took two steps out, turned back suspiciously, and asked, "Cousin, don't you go with your younger brother?" ”

When Xu Qinghe heard the news, he was a little unhappy to be polite with him in front of others, and immediately replied: "Brother-in-law, go and greet him." I couldn't come forward, so I went to the backyard to see my mother. ”

Li Bozhou responded when he heard this, "Then cousin will go and rest for a while." Leave the things ahead to me. After speaking, he took the little servant and walked quickly to greet Lord Thorn.

Xu Qinghe looked in the direction of the mansion gate, and when he saw the man striding in, he quickly turned around and went straight to the backyard.

——

Xu Qinghe went directly into Su Jingshu's boudoir when she was about to get married, and saw her mother standing in front of the bed, talking to the woman leaning on the head of the bed.

She stepped forward quickly, shouted "Mother", looked at Su Jingshu again, and asked, "Is my cousin better?" ”

Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter and asked, "Did you have breakfast?" ”

Xu Qinghe shook his head and replied: "I rushed over with A-Yao early in the morning, where can I have time for breakfast." ”

"You kid! I'm going to call someone to prepare. Mrs. Xu scolded, stood up and walked out of the door, called a little maid, and gave a few orders.

Su Jingshu leaned against the head of the bed and asked, "Collapse and give locusts for cuo Jun?" p> Xu Qinghe sat on the edge of the bed and replied: "The newly sent account books, you have to hurry up and proofread them, and the shopkeepers below are waiting." ”

Su Jingshu didn't understand this, so she picked up some side words and asked: "Is it a good person?" p> "No. When I go back, it's dark, and I'll run into him somewhere. Xu Qinghe immediately responded, looked at his cousin's pale face, and said with concern: "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me immediately." Lang Zhong has been waiting in the house. ”

Su Jingshu smiled reluctantly and said, "Cousin, don't worry. I'm almost better now, and I'm in bed just to have a baby. This morning, I drank a big cup of chicken soup made by my aunt. ”

"My mother learned that you were pregnant yesterday and hurriedly went to the kitchen to make chicken soup, and my brother-in-law and I persuaded her." Xu Qinghe said to his cousin, "Where did I think that my mother couldn't wait so much, and she would get up early in the morning to make chicken soup." ”

Su Jingshu's eyes were slightly wet, and she said with emotion: "My aunt has always loved our sister and brother. ”

Xu Qinghe snorted deliberately, "It's not!" Never cooked a bowl of soup for me...... Mother has always favored you siblings. ”

"Maybe when my cousin gets pregnant, my aunt will take care of her three meals." Su Jingshu looked at her cousin and comforted her softly.

At this time, Mrs. Xu came into the room, and when she heard this, she immediately complained: "I don't know what year and month I can hold my grandson!" I'm afraid that when my grandson comes, I will be too old to walk. Where can I still have the strength to cook......"

Xu Qinghe hurriedly stood up, leaned over flatteringly, personally helped his mother sit down on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Mother, I promise to give birth to a white and chubby grandson to you within five years." ”

Mrs. Xu didn't bother to pay attention to her daughter's empty assurance, she only looked at Su Jingshu and said, "Jingshu's child will be born next year." I'm waiting to hold the milk doll and don't count on you. ”

Xu Qinghe saw that his mother didn't believe in him, and he didn't want to rush to prove it. I took the opportunity to talk about the next one: "Cousin, do you want to be a boy or a girl?" ”

Su Jingshu pulled up a gentle smile and replied, "Girl." ”

Mrs. Xu listened and said, "No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, as long as they are safe and healthy, they are all good children." ”

Xu Qinghe also echoed: "I think the same as my cousin. Baby girls are the cutest and don't cry or make trouble. Think about when Ah Jin was young, she could tear down the roof when she cried, and she tossed endlessly every day. ”

Mrs. Xu glanced at her and reprimanded: "When you were a child, like Ah Jin, you only knew how to cry and cry, and you were embarrassed to laugh at your cousin. ”

Su Jingshu chuckled.

Xu Qinghe was embarrassed and defended: "A mother can't expose her daughter's ugly things in order to make her cousin happy. ”

Mrs. Xu said to her daughter: "It's just an ignorant baby, where can it be considered an ugly thing." He went to see Su Jingshu again and said, "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law must be looking forward to winning a man in one fell swoop, if it is a girl, she will be disappointed." But you're still young, and you can continue to live in the future. ”

Su Jingshu nodded and said softly, "Auntie doesn't have to worry about me. My mother-in-law treats me very well, and I don't think I mind being a girl. ”

"Hmm. If you are wronged, come and tell me, don't let the Li Mansion feel that there is no one in your mother's house. Mrs. Xu said to her softly.

Su Jingshu was moved, and called affectionately: "Thank you, aunt." ”

Xu Qinghe looked at the two of them on the side, and sighed: "Mother can't be so partial to my cousin. In the past few years, my mother has become more and more alienated and strict with me, and my daughter has not felt strong maternal love for a long time1

Mrs. Xu tapped her forehead heavily when she heard this, and reprimanded, "What a person! is still jealous, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes. You go out early and return late every day, I want to care for you, where do you meet! Besides, Jingshu is more sensible than you, and I am happy to favor her. ”

Su Jingshu hurriedly persuaded on the side: "My aunt loves her juniors. What does my cousin eat! Didn't my father also favor his cousin when he was alive? Whatever is in mind of you. Teach you more carefully than teach Ah Jin......"

Xu Qinghe remembered the scene where his uncle taught him in the past, and he was grief-stricken, and reluctantly raised a smile and quipped: "Uncle favors me, and mother favors you-it's even." I don't care about my cousin. ”

Mrs. Xu scolded lightly: "Silly child! How is it so naïve today1

Su Jingshu also smiled: "It seems that it is fishy and silky = 袢展 吩矗肷砭穸緸 Lie !?p> Xu Qinghe hurriedly responded: "If there is nothing, cousin can't talk nonsense." ”

Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter and asked solemnly, "Didn't Qinghe Mo take advantage of my absence in the mansion to meet Master Shen in the middle of the night?" ”

Xu Qinghe Deng Shi explained: "No! Mother, don't get me wrong. I've been busy in my study last night, and I'll go back to rest when I'm done—"
