When I first came to Chengde, I occasionally picked some at the head of the bed, and then I didn't pick them for a while, but Mu Jingchi saw that I liked it, and he always had to ask people to pick some for me and put them on my bedside, if there was a problem with these lotuses, why did he do this? Don't you want me to have this child?

I subconsciously put my hand on the lower abdomen, and immediately asked Liu Wu to find the old Chinese medicine doctor who had been in charge of my fetus, Liu Wu didn't seem to know about it, and when he heard my instructions, he thought that I was unwell, so he immediately went to ask the Chinese medicine doctor.

I asked the Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose my pulse, and the Chinese medicine doctor diagnosed me for a while, and then smiled at me and said, "The young grandmother's fetal image is very stable, and there is no major problem, as long as you pay attention to your diet at all times." ”

I didn't tell the old Chinese medicine doctor what I was uncomfortable about, but now that he said that, I let go of my heart a little, wondering if he was calming my nerves.

But did those pills really have no effect on me at all?

The old Chinese medicine doctor was packing up the medicine box, and I was still a little uncertain and asked, "Old man, is the child in my child's belly really okay?" ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor thought that I was too careful, so he smiled and comforted me and said, "Young grandmother, don't worry too much, the old student has been checking the pulse of the young grandmother every day, and nothing will happen." ”

I don't want to ask him again, but since he's so sure of telling me, there must be no problem.

I didn't keep him any longer, but smiled and said, "Then the old gentleman should go slowly." ”

He answered, and left with the medicine box on his back.

After he left, I stayed in the room for a while, and it was raining again in Chengde that day, and the flowers and grass outside were destroyed and withered.

The strange thing is that after Mu Jing left late, the whole Chengde was rainy and rainy, never stopped, and the weather was very annoying, and he couldn't go out.

We stayed here for about half a month, and half a month later, because the war in Beiguan was not settled, Yuan Chengjun needed to deal with it, so the plan to stay in Jinling City to retreat from the cold was also suspended in advance, and everyone began to pack up their things again and went back to Jinling.

For where to stay. I didn't have any opinions, so I naturally went back to Jinling with the Yuan family.

After returning to Jinling, the whole Jinling was more wet than when I came, the whole city was pouring down, the heavy rain poured people can't go out, I am pregnant, the whole person actually feels sad, but I don't want to go out.

Just ask Liu Wu from time to time, Mu Jingchi called or asked someone to bring the letter.

Liu Wu told me that he had made a phone call a few days ago, but he never asked me to answer it, saying that I was pregnant now and should not always move around.

Hearing Liu Fu say this, I think it was my words that angered him that day, and he never liked me to mind his business, so I didn't say anything more.

But after returning to Yuan's house, I have a lot of things, Yuan Lin always comes to stare at me to drink medicine, staring at how I should walk, telling me every day what I can eat and what I can't eat, and I also asked a teacher to tell me how to raise a fetus.

It was very heartfelt, and it also took up all my time, and I didn't have time to contact Mu Jingchi, so I faded away.

Yuan Lin was originally going to follow Yuan Chengjun to Beiguan, but because I was pregnant, I was stopped by Mrs. Yuan and stayed at home to accompany me.

Yuan Lin will come to sit with me for a while at night, in fact, the two of us talk a lot, and we will not be cold, one or two sentences past, that is, at ten o'clock in the evening, he usually sees that I want to sleep, and will leave my room on his own.

This time, he had just gotten up, who knew that Mrs. Yuan walked in from outside, and the two happened to bump into each other, and Yuan Lin called: "Mother." ”

Mrs. Yuan asked Yuan Lin, "It's so late, where are you going?" ”

Yuan Lin said, "Go back to the room." ”

Mrs. Yuan walked in, looked around the room, turned around and asked him, "Isn't this your house?" ”

Then, she said to Liu Wu: "Liu Wu, go to the next room to move the second master's things." ”

Mrs. Yuan didn't ask, she directly crossed over to me and ordered Liu Wu, and Liu Wu glanced at me, a little afraid to move, I leaned on the bed and didn't make a sound.

When Mrs. Yuan saw that the catkins were not moving, she looked at the catkins and asked, "Why don't you move?" Any questions? ”

Yuan Lin on the side walked up and said to Mrs. Yuan: "Mother, Qingye is pregnant now, and it is not very convenient to live together. ”

Mrs. Yuan smiled and said, "Why is it inconvenient?" It's inconvenient because she's pregnant, although there's a maid to take care of her, but after all, the maid and her are not in the same bed, if there's any problem, you can't find anyone, you're his husband, shouldn't you be considerate at this time? ”

What else does Yuan Lin have to say, I closed the needlework in my hand and said to Mrs. Yuan: "Mrs. Yuan, although I am pregnant with your Yuan family's child, it does not mean that Yuan Lin and I are husband and wife, first, I don't admit this, second, the maid takes care of me enough, and one more person is in my room, I only feel that it is in the way." ”

Now that I am holding the lifeblood of their Yuan family, Wang Heqing was not angry with my ugly words, but smiled at me and said: "Qingye, my mother didn't mean that, but now the child has been more than two months in the blink of an eye, you sleep in Lin'er's main room, it's always bad to let him sleep in the guest room?" ”

I said, "In that case, I'll just move to the guest room." ”

Yuan Lin stood in front of Wang Heqing and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry about this, I am also used to sleeping alone, and now two people suddenly sleep in the same bed, it is inconvenient for me, it is inconvenient for Qingye, and she is still pregnant." ”

When Mrs. Yuan saw Yuan Lin say this, she didn't want to say anything, she just glanced at him, and her tone was a little disliked: "Okay, since you think so, then it's even more difficult for me to say anything more as a mother." ”

Wang Heqing said again: "You guys rest early, I'll go first." ”

After Yuan Lin watched Wang Heqing leave, he looked at me and said, "Then I'm going to rest too?" ”

I hummed, and Yuan Lin glanced at me and left.

Liu Wu came over with the decoction and said, "Mrs. looked a little angry just now. ”

I took the decoction from her hand and said, "I don't care if she's angry or not, I think I'm honest during this time." It's good to bully again, so I climbed up the pole, it's one thing for me to have a child, and it's another thing to accept Yuan Lin. ”

Liu Wu didn't speak again.

The next day, it was difficult for the sun to come out of Jinling City on a cloudy day, and I decided to take the catkins out for a walk and go shopping on the streets.

But when we were about to go out, we bumped into Yuan Lin, who happened to walk towards my house, and when he saw that we were leaving, he asked, "Where are we going?" ”

I said, "Go shopping with catkins and buy something." ”

Yuan Lin said, "I'll go with you." ”

I was a little surprised and asked, "You are a big man, what are you going to do with us?" ”

Yuan Lin smiled and said, "Why can't you go?" I've been bored for a long time, and I just happened to go out for a walk together. ”

When I saw him like this, I didn't stop him, so I didn't care, and said, "If you want to follow, follow it." ”

When we arrived on the street of Jinling City, I thought Yuan Lin would be impatient, but he was more energetic than me, did he pick up some children's gadgets and ask me if I wanted to buy them, whether they looked good.

I stood in front of the booth with him and said with a smile: "The child has not been born yet, and I don't know if it is a man or a woman. ”

Yuan Lin said: "Why don't you buy both men and women together?" ”

Then, he took a rattle from the stall, shook it in front of me, and said with a smile: "This can't be wrong after all, no matter whether the boy or girl looks at it, they should like it." ”

I took a look at it and thought it was good, so I took it and shook it in my hand a few times, Yuan Lin picked up another one and studied it with me, just when we were researching, a sentence suddenly came from behind us: "Second master." ”

I looked back with Yuan Lin, and saw a gentle-looking woman standing behind us, Yuan Lin and I glanced at each other, the rattle in Yuan Lin's hand fell off unconsciously, and then, he asked: "Why are you here?" ”

It was the Wanwan that I and Biyu met last time, Yuan Lin's old lover.

That Wan Wandang even saluted us, and then Lianbu moved to Yuan Lin's side, looking down at the rattle at his feet, she bent down slightly, picked up the rattle from below, handed it to Yuan Lin and said, "Second master, your things have fallen." ”

Yuan Lin glanced at me a little unnaturally, then reached out and took it from her hand and said, "If it's okay, we'll go first." ”

was about to take me away, when I suddenly remembered that I hadn't paid for the things in my hand, so I immediately asked the catkins who followed me to pay for it.

At this time, Wan Wan suddenly asked again: "Is the young grandmother pregnant?" ”

I looked at her and asked, "How do you know?" ”

She smiled and pointed to the rattle in my hand and said, "You and the second master are watching the child's things." ”

I smiled back at her and said, "It's been two months, and it seems a little too early to buy now." ”

Yuan Lin didn't seem to like me talking to Miss Wanwan very much, so he pulled me again and said, "Let's go." ”

I smiled at the woman and didn't stay any longer.

When the two of us were walking, Yuan Lin was obviously absent-minded and didn't know what he was thinking, so I asked, "What?" Is it that you have met someone you shouldn't have met? ”

Yuan Lin didn't answer me, I thought he wouldn't answer, who knows, after a while, he said again: "I owe her." ”

He was referring to Wan Wan.

I smiled and said, "I don't mind if you take a concubine, why don't you tell your mother to bring in Miss Wanwan?" ”

He glanced at me, sneered and said, "You're generous." ”

I said, "Otherwise, I won't be happy if you lose your soul for her." ”

Yuan Lin said: "I haven't lost my soul, I naturally know that now that I am married to you, I will naturally never have anything to do with her again, you can rest assured." ”

Then Yuan Lin didn't seem to want to mention this topic again, so he said again: "Let's go, it's early anyway, let's go ahead and have a look." ”

I didn't ask any more, firstly, I was not interested, and secondly, although I did have a bit of gossip, but in order to get into trouble in the future, I restrained myself and continued to walk forward with Yuan Lin.

Then the two of us bought a large bag and bought it back, just walked to the door of the house, and saw a car parked at the door, it seemed that someone was coming, Yuan Lin grabbed a small guy and asked: "Is there a guest at home?" ”

The little guy smiled and said, "Back to the second master, it's the second girl who is here." ”

The second girl is Yuan Lin's aunt, Wang Zhizhi.

Yuan Lin was also a little happy, so he said, "Auntie is probably here to live in our house again, you should have seen it, right?" ”

I said, "I've seen it many times, and I've spoken before." ”

Yuan Lin said: "My aunt has always been interested in your brother-in-law, and she still hasn't wanted to remarry. He sighed and said, "It's really a goddess with affection, and King Xiang has no dreams." ”

Hearing Yuan Lin say this, I asked with some curiosity: "Has your aunt met my brother-in-law before?" ”

As the two of us walked inside, Yuan Lin said, "I've seen it." But that was when I was young, and I didn't know very well, but I only heard my mother talk about it twice, and I heard that when I was ten years old, my aunt met your brother-in-law with my father. ”

He looked back at me and said, "It seems that you were there at that time, my aunt saw him holding you in her arms, thinking that you were your brother-in-law's daughter, and she cried bitterly when she returned home, and later learned that you were the second daughter of the Lu family." Since then, my aunt has been devoted to him, how many people in the family told her to kiss, she refused to marry, my mother thought she was just a temporary infatuation, but who knows that after so many years, she is still obsessed. ”

Listening to Yuan Lin say this, I should have been six or seven years old at that time, but in my impression, I really hadn't seen Wang Zhizhi, and she didn't seem to have talked about it.

Just as the two of us were talking and entering the room together, who knew that there was already someone waiting in my room, that was Yuan Lin's aunt, Wang Zhizhi.

Yuan Lin and I were both stunned for a moment, but soon, Yuan Lin called: "Auntie." ”

Wang Zhizhi answered, and then looked at me, she greeted me slightly shyly and said, "Qingye." ”

In my impression, she has always been a person who is not good at words, nervous and shy, not very talkative, seeing that she took the initiative to greet me, I also smiled and called Yuan Lin: "Auntie." ”

She came up and took the initiative to hold my hand and said, "Some time ago, the family has been busy, so I have never been here for your wedding with Lin'er, and today I finally got free." She stuffed a gift box into my palm and said, "This is my wedding gift for you, don't be surprised that it's been so late." ”

Yuan Lin glanced at the things piled up on the table, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you can come if you want to come, it's not that you haven't lived here, how can you send these things." ”

This sentence seemed to pierce Wang Zhizhi's heart, her face became hot all of a sudden, she glanced at Yuan Lin and said, "Anyway, it wasn't given to you, you don't have to be nosy." ”

Yuan Lin smiled again and said, "Why didn't you come to Chengde last time to avoid the cold?" I saw Mr. Mu, who had been there for a while. ”

Wang Zhizhi became more and more shy, she snorted Yuan Lin and said, "Don't chew the root of your tongue here, I have something I want to say to Qingye." ”

Yuan Lin seemed to have expected what she was going to say, but she didn't joke anymore, and left my room honestly, leaving me and Wang Zhizhi, she looked at me again, then closed the door, held my hand, led me to sit down at the table, and said, "Qingye, did you see the letter I wrote to you last time?" ”

Wang Zhizhi did write a letter to me last time, it was when she was in Chengde, she was originally going to come to Chengde, who knew that before she arrived, Mu Jingchi had already returned to Jinling.

I smiled back at her: "I watched it, but unfortunately, I didn't wait for you to come." ”

Wang Zhizhi held my hand a little nervously and asked, "Have you asked your brother-in-law on my behalf, do you have any plans to continue the string?" ”

I remembered Mu Jingchi's reaction that day, and I didn't know how to answer, but seeing Wang Zhizhi's face full of anticipation, I smiled and said: "I asked, but he didn't say no, nor did he say no, but I really don't know what he thinks in his heart." ”

Wang Zhizhi squeezed my hand a few more points and said, "But really? ”

I said, "Really." ”

Wang Zhizhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

I suddenly remembered what Yuan Lin had said to me before, and I couldn't help asking, "Auntie, have you seen me before?" ”

Wang Zhizhi was a little surprised to see me suddenly ask like this, but soon, she smiled and said, "At that time, you were only about six or seven years old, and you were held by him, and I thought you were his daughter at that time." She said shyly, "I went back and cried." ”

Speaking of this, her expression was dyed with a look of memory, she stared at the light and shadow not far away in a daze, and said: "That was the first time I saw him, it was also when the war was in turmoil for many years, and it was also when my brother-in-law had just established the army, I was chased by the Huo family's army and fell in front of his car, when I was lying on the ground full of muddy water, and suddenly saw a reflection in the muddy water, it was a man's face, and then there were hands stretched out towards me, I heard someone above laughing and asking: Miss, have you fallen?" ”

Wang Zhizhi looked at me happily and said: "His voice is not high or low, compared with my brother-in-law's big voice, it can be regarded as a gentle voice, like a spring breeze, the moment I looked up at him, I finally knew what it meant to look at ten thousand years, he looked at me like that, not anxious or impatient, at that time I even forgot that there were many people behind me who wanted my life, but I was busy anxious in my heart how embarrassed I was at that time, and later, it was he who saved me, I sat in the car, watching the thousands of troops of the Huo family pass by our car, But no one found us, and at that time, it was also the home he personally sent me back to. ”

She said: "Kiyono, I have never seen such an elegant and gentle man, and since then, I have no interest in seeing any man in the world. She looked at me again: "Then I saw him again, but the next time I saw him, he was holding a child in his arms, the child was about six or seven years old, it was a girl, white and fat, like a porcelain doll, he treated the child very well, he gave him whatever he wanted, and even took care of him, I thought he had a child." After having a wife, I went back and cried, only to find out later that the child was his wife's sister, and his wife had passed away not long ago, and that child was you. ”

She looked at me and said, "I have never seen a man as affectionate and righteous as him, and I envy his undeceased wife, who can make him love so deeply for so many years, but he has never remarried." ”

She looked at me with a little pleading and asked, "Kiyono, can you tell me what kind of person your sister is?" ”

If Wang Zhizhi knew that Mu Jingchi was the murderer of my whole family, and the woman she envied was also forced to death by his own hands, I don't know if she would tell me this now.

I cautiously reminded: "Perhaps, what are you in love with is just the appearance of him?" You haven't ever been with him, you've never even really lived with him, and you've liked him for so many years, don't you think this decision is reckless? ”

Wang Zhizhi said with a smile: "I don't feel reckless, I really haven't known him, and I really haven't gotten along with him, but I think, there should be no woman in the world who can't love everything, right?" ”

I was speechless. Just smiled, I think Wang Zhizhi said this to me today, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, the next second, she took out something, it was a silk handkerchief, embroidered with plum blossoms, the stitches were meticulous and lifelike, she handed the handkerchief to me and said, "You...... Can you give this to him? ”

The woman's silk handkerchief was given to the man to express friendship, and Wang Zhizhi probably didn't want to hide it.

Although she is almost thirty years old, she still has the innocence of a little girl in her eyes, and she said: "After you give it to him, no matter what he says or not, you must tell me, and I beg you." ”

In fact, according to Mu Jingchi's reaction last time, I shouldn't have promised her to do such a reckless thing again, but I didn't know how to refuse Wang Zhizhi, she looked at me so expectantly, but I didn't know what to say.

It took me a long time to squeeze a good word out of my throat.

She was so happy, seeing her so happy, inexplicably I was also happy, Mu Jingchi really needed someone to accompany him, maybe it would be better?

And Wang Zhizhi is always much better than Wang Shuyi.

I replied to her with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter for you, and I do think that my brother-in-law needs someone to accompany me." ”

After Wang Zhizhi lived in Yuan's house, after Yuan Chengjun went to Beiguan, about the days began to be boring again, so he shouted at people to come to the house to play cards.

Because of Wang Zhizhi's matter, I thought that I hadn't gone back to see Zhou's mother for a long time, so I picked a time to make a special trip back to Mu's house, and I didn't say hello in advance.

After arriving at the house, the servants in the house were in a mess, they were shocked and panicked when they saw me, I intuitively thought that something should have happened, the maids didn't have time to greet me, there seemed to be something behind me, they immediately rushed up and said, "Doctor Han, you are finally here!" ”

A few people rushed up, pulled the doctor and said, "Sir is in the study now, you vomited blood just now, you can take a look." ”

Then Zhou's mother ran out from the second floor and shouted, "Is the doctor coming?" ”

When she saw me behind the doctor, she was stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly rushed down, pulled me and said, "Miss, why are you back!" ”

When I saw such a lot of movement in the house, I asked her, "Is he sick again?" ”

When Zhou's mother saw me asking, the joy on her face disappeared, and she frowned and said: "Since Chengde came back, he has been sick until now, and he has never asked us to call a doctor, and he has vomited several mouthfuls of blood just now." ”

I grabbed Zhou's mother by the hand and said, "Then I'll go up with you now." ”

Zhou's mother couldn't care so much, so she pulled me and walked upstairs quickly, and sure enough, when I reached the door, I heard Mu Jingchi's violent cough, we pushed aside the crowd and walked in, just to see him with a pale face, crooked on the chair, covering his lips and coughing, and the square handkerchief was full of blood.

As soon as I saw this situation, I rushed up, squatted in front of him and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" How so? ”

When he heard my voice and coughed, he raised his eyes to look at me, and when he saw that it was me, his blank eyes were dyed with a little color and asked, "Why are you back?" ”

I had never seen him like this, so I cried and asked, "I'll come back to see you." Why don't you see a doctor? Isn't your body clear to you? ”

With blood on the corners of his lips, he smiled at me and said lightly, "It's fine, it's just a little thing."

When he saw the tears on my face, he smiled and wiped them for me with his hand and said, "Okay, I'm all a mother, and I still cry at every turn." ”

I ignored him and just looked at the doctor.

After the doctor checked his pulse, he opened the medicine box and took the medicine and syringe from it, I don't know what those medicines are, Mu Jingchi was calm, and just stretched out his hand to him.

When the doctor slowly pushed the needle into his vein, the medicine in the syringe entered the vessel.

Then, the doctor pulled out the needle and pressed it against his needle hole with a medical cottonpad, and he pressed his fingertips on it, and it seemed that all of a sudden, everything was calm.

Zhou's mother also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Jingchi looked at me again and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”

I wiped my tears and said, "I'll come back to see you." ”

When he saw that I was scared like this, he just said funny: "Scared like this." ”

I still couldn't help crying and asked, "Why don't you let Dr. Han come over, you have to toss yourself like this." ”

He didn't speak, but said to Zhou's mother: "It's rare for Miss to come back." Let the kitchen stock up on some of her favorite foods tonight. ”

Zhou's mother sighed and withdrew from the study, and then the servants did not stay, and they all slowly withdrew.

He sat in a chair, looked at me and smiled and said, "Gained a lot of weight." ”

I pinched my face: "My face has been gaining weight, but I don't know why my belly hasn't gotten bigger." ”

He looked at my lower abdomen and said, "Don't worry, it will slowly get bigger in the future." ”

When I saw that his face was still bloodless, I whispered, "Do you want to rest?" ”

He seemed to be really tired, and he didn't even refute, and with a soft hum, I helped him get up from the chair, I don't know if he was too tall or he was too weak, and he stumbled before he could stand firmly, and he almost fell down with me, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly, quickly hugged me in his arms, and stood firm.

My face was pressed against his chest, and he put his hand on my head and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong?" ”

I looked up at him from his arms and shook my head.

He also looked down at me, and the warm breath sprayed on my face, and he smiled.

He didn't let me go either. I didn't say let me go, I stood there for a while and didn't know what to do, just when I was at a loss, his face suddenly lowered little by little, and when his lips were only a few centimeters away from me, I grabbed his shirt with both hands, and said in a panic: "I want to go to the bathroom." ”

He immediately stopped, kept his head down, his lips resting on my left cheek, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Fool." Then he took a fallen leaf that I had caught in my hair, handed it to me, and said, "Go ahead." ”

I glanced at him, let go of him in a panic, then turned around and ran towards the door, just happened to bump into Zhou's mother at the door, she asked me what I was running in a panic, and I didn't answer.

After that, Mu Jingchi went into the room to rest, and I had nothing to do, so I went into the previous room, which was still the same as before, nothing had changed.

There are still a lot of jewelry on the table that I used to love, and I still miss it somehow, so I took something from the table and put it in my hand to play with.

At this time, a servant walked in and called out behind me, "Miss." ”

I looked back at her, she put the fresh words in the vase in the room, and I asked her a little strangely, "There are no people living here, why do you put fresh flowers in it?" ”

The servant smiled and said, "Ever since you left the house, my husband has been asking people to come here every day to clean and put your favorite flowers in the room, saying that he is afraid that you will come home one day to live." ”

I didn't speak, and at this time, Zhou's mother also walked in from behind me and said, "After you left, this room is strangely deserted." ”

I turned to look at her, Zhou's mother was holding a bowl of red bean soup in her hand, I liked everything related to red beans, so I happily took it, and when I was about to eat, Zhou's mother looked at me lovingly and asked, "I heard that Miss is a mother?" ”

When I mentioned this, I nodded happily and said, "It's been two months." Then he lowered his head and busied himself with eating.

Zhou's mother stroked my head and said, "In the future, you will be a mother, you can't mess around casually anymore, it's not as good as before, you have to set a good example for your children." After she finished speaking, she asked again: "By the way, is the Yuan family good to you?" ”

I was silent for a moment, then smiled at Zhou's mother and said, "It's okay." ”

She laughed and said, "That's good." Our young lady is a good person by nature, how can others be willing not to be good to you. ”

After a while, I asked Zhou's mother: "Zhou's mother, if the child is born, can you help me take it over?" ”

I looked at Zhou's mother expectantly, she undoubtedly had a happy smile on her face, but she said: "Where is it my turn to take the children of the Yuan family, it should be his grandparents who want to take them." ”

I said, "I don't want them to take care of it, my own children, I must take care of them myself." ”

When Zhou's mother heard me say this, she replied to me with a smile: "Okay, when the child is born, I will go over to bring the child to you." ”

I smiled happily, and then I accompanied Zhou's mother to talk for a while, and when I arrived at the Yuan family in the evening, I called and asked when I would come back, I thought that I still had something to give to Mu Jingchi, so I said to the people of the Yuan family that I would have dinner here before going back.

He didn't say anything more, and soon hung up the phone.

I saw that Mu Jing hadn't woken up yet, so I asked Zhou's mother when he would go downstairs.

As soon as he asked, he saw the servant magpie enter his room, thinking that he was about awake, I also followed, and quietly opened the door, he was getting dressed, I don't know if he had eyes on his back, I just lay there for a long time, and he turned his back to me, so he smiled and said, "Come in." ”

Then, he straightened his clothes in front of the mirror.

When I saw that he saw that I was there, and did not hide from me, I came over generously, and I glanced at the magpie, and when I saw that the servant was still there, I did not speak.

Instead, he knew that I had something to say to him, so he turned to me with a smile and asked, "What?" Something to say to me? ”

I smiled and said, "I have something for you." ”

He didn't speak, just looked at me.

I handed him what I had prepared, and there was a silk handkerchief between him, so he waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to go down, and then put the silk handkerchief under his eyes and looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "The embroidery is good, it seems that there has been a lot of growth recently." ”

He was about to hand it back to me when I said, "It's not mine." ”

He stopped and looked at me.

I whispered, "Yes...... Wang Zhizhi's, she asked me to give it to you. ”

Not sure why. His face was pale and he didn't react, but after a second look, he said, "Well, I see." ”

I didn't know what he meant, so I followed him and said, "What do you mean?" You should know what Wang Zhizhi means by giving you this silk handkerchief, right? She's a woman, so she plucks up the courage to give it to you, and you're going to give me your—"

Who knows, we just walked to the door, and a maid walked in outside, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and hit Mu Jingchi.

Normally, Mu Jingchi doesn't care about this kind of thing, who knew that he actually said in a deep voice today: "Bastard thing!" ”

The maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, and cried, "Sir, spare your life, sir." ”

Mu Jingchi stood there for a long time, he took a deep breath, and after suppressing his emotions, he glanced at the maid, didn't speak again, and went out directly.

I stood there stunned for a while, then hurriedly stepped over the maid and chased after Mu Jingchi, but who knew that I was running too fast, and when I went downstairs, I stepped on the air under my feet, and I didn't have time to scream.

I was a little frightened, and even Zhou's mother, who was standing downstairs, quickly hurried up and asked anxiously, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

I shook my head, my eyes just staring at Mu Jingchi.

He scolded slightly: "Let you walk without looking at the road." ”

Then he let go of me, pointed at me and said, "Stand up for me." ”

I immediately stood up and looked at him cautiously.

He stopped looking at me and went downstairs again.

Mother Zhou looked at Mu Jingchi, who had already walked away, and asked me in a low voice, "Miss made Mr. angry just now?" ”

I immediately shook my head to prove my innocence and said, "I didn't." ”

Zhou's mother didn't say anything, and was about to go down, when I immediately called Zhou's mother and asked, "Do I want to go down?" ”

Zhou's mother pulled me and said, "You can go." I followed Zhou's mother and arrived at the restaurant, Mu Jingchi was still sick, and he had never eaten much, but from time to time he held the dishes for me and said: "I heard that after I got pregnant, the Yuan family also invited a teacher to come and teach you how to raise a baby, how do you learn." ”

I pulled the rice from the bowl and said, "Isn't that it?" I couldn't understand it anyway because I talked too much, so I followed my own method. ”

He smiled and said, "You, whatever you study." Aren't paying attention. ”

I stopped the chopsticks in my hand and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, Wang Zhizhi is very good to me, she has never given birth to a child herself, but she seems to have given birth to a child, and taught me many things that I don't understand." ”

Mu Jingchi listened quietly and didn't interject, and I said: "She is completely different from her sister, she is much gentle, she is kind and beautiful, have you seen the square silk handkerchief today?" She embroidered it herself, isn't it much better than mine? Not only did she read poetry, but she also wrote ......"

Just as I was talking energetically, Mu Jingchi put a piece of meat in my bowl and asked me, "Have you been vomiting lately?" ”

I said, "It's much better, I don't feel like vomiting so much." ”

He smiled and said, "That's good, I'll ask Mother Zhou to make you some favorite food later, bring it over?" ”

I said, "Okay." ”

In the end, Mu Jingchi asked me something else, and I answered honestly, until the last meal was used up, I realized that I had fallen for his trick, and I was actually changed by him, and I forgot about the business of the transfer.

After the driver of the Yuan family came to pick me up, Zhou's mother and they were all here, and I didn't want to ask again, Mu Jingchi saw my deflated appearance, so he stood there with a smile.

Then he wrapped the clothes on my body tightly and said: "You still have to be obedient when you go to the Yuan family, now that you are a mother, you can no longer play the temper of the eldest lady, and also, pay attention to walking, now it is not as good as before, what kind of body is it to jump and jump." ”

I stood in front of him and said impatiently: "I know, I know, how can you be more nagging than Zhou's mother." ”

When I saw that one of the maids was gone, I tried to bring up the subject again, saying, "Hey, brother-in-law—"

But who knew that before I could say anything, after Mu Jingchi buttoned it for me, he said again: "Have you brought everything with you?" ”

Who knew that the maid chased after her from the hall and said, "Miss! Your handbag is gone! ”

Mu Jingchi raised his eyelids, glanced at me lightly, and said, "I don't see you get rid of this problem, but you are more energetic than anyone else." ”

Unconvinced, I retorted, "Aren't you too?" When I thought of something, I suddenly reached out and grabbed the button on Mu Jingchi's clothes and said, "Brother-in-law, are you free the day after tomorrow?" ”

He replied nonchalantly, "What's wrong." ”

I said, "I want to go to the Grand Theater, can you go with me?" ”

He put on his hat and asked casually, "What kind of play?" ”

I said, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai." ”

He smiled and said, "Aren't you tired of watching?" ”

I said, "This time it's different, this time it's my favorite horn." ”

He seemed to be thinking about something, I grabbed his hand and coquettishly said, "You just accompany me, you see that no one accompanies me to the theater now, how boring it is for me to stay there alone." ”

Mu Jing couldn't stand my coquettishness, and said with a smile: "Okay, get in the car, it's cold outside." ”

He agreed, and I quickly kissed him on the cheek using Western etiquette, and then ran towards the car without looking back.

When I was already sitting in the car, he didn't move, but his fingertips stopped for a long time in the place where I had touched them.

As soon as I sat in the car, I waved at him and asked the driver to drive.

After the driver drove away from Mu's house, Wang Zhizhi was anxiously waiting there, and when she saw me coming back, she quickly walked up and grabbed my hand and asked, "How is it?" What did he say? ”

I laughed and said, "He didn't say anything, but I already made an appointment with him for you." ”

I took out two tickets from my pocket and said, "At eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, at the gate of the Liyuan Theater, you can just go over." ”

Wang Zhizhi was overjoyed, grabbed the ticket from my hand, held it in the palm of his hand like a treasure and asked with a smile: "He agreed?" ”

I smiled and undressed and said, "Of course, but I asked him in my name, and you can just go over that day." ”

Wang Zhizhi ran over and hugged me and said, "Qingye, auntie thank you so much!" ”

To tell the truth, Wang Zhizhi and Wang Heqing are two personalities, Wang Zhizhi is as simple as a little girl, I was hugged by her for a long time, she seemed to suddenly think that I was still pregnant, and immediately put me down, then held the ticket in her hand, and ran out happily.

I looked at her back, smiled happily, and continued to undress myself.

On the morning of the day I had agreed with Mu Jingchi, Wang Zhizhi came to knock on my door early in the morning and asked me anxiously whether Mu Jingchi liked a dress or a cheongsam, and asked me how I should dress.

Actually, I don't know what kind of woman Mu Jingchi likes, but it's always right to be pretty, so I lent her my dress to wear, and then

I asked the maid who combed her hair well to pull a bun for her, until Wang Zhizhi was impeccable, and I pinned my favorite hairpin to her hair for her.

When everything was perfect, I smiled and said, "You can't go wrong now." ”

Wang Zhizhi still asked a little apprehensively: "Is there really no problem?" ”

I smiled and said, "Go ahead, it's going to be fine." ”

It didn't take long for the driver to come in and urge, because there was no time, Wang Zhizhi didn't stay anymore, took the bag in his hand and hurriedly ran out, I stood there and watched for a while, then yawned, went back to bed and continued to sleep.

Until seven o'clock in the evening, I don't know how many times I looked up at the time, and finally saw Wang Zhizhi coming from outside, I immediately got up and rushed to her and asked, "How is today?" ”

Wang Zhizhi's face was red, and she was silent for a while.

I asked, "Is there development?" ”

I don't know if Wang Zhizhi misunderstood what I said, she covered her face and said, "Oh, no, it's nothing." Then he let go of my hand and ran towards his room with a shy face.

I stood there completely unaware, and then not long after, I went back to my room to call Mu's house, and just wanted to ask Zhou's mother if Mu Jingchi had come home, but the phone was answered, and Mu Jingchi's voice came from inside.

He got straight to the point and asked, "You want to inquire about the situation?" ”

I didn't expect him to ask like this, I was nervous for a while, and just wanted to explain something, Mu Jingchi said, "Come back, I'll tell you personally." ”

Then he hung up the phone, and there was a beep in my ears, and I was stunned for a moment before hanging up.

Not long after, the servant came over and said that the Mu family's car had come to pick me up, and it was Steward Zhou who had personally invited me.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and then walked out with Steward Zhou, and I was still a little nervous in the car and asked Steward Zhou: "He...... How did you feel when you returned? ”

Steward Zhou looked at me and said with a smile, "Are you asking sir?" ”

I said, "That's right." ”

Steward Zhou said, "You will know in the past." ”

Obviously, refusing to answer me, I don't want to ask again, when I came to the Mu house with a nervous heart, Zhou's mother opened the door for me.

I originally wanted to try to ask Zhou's mother how Mu Jing was feeling after coming back, but who knew that when the words came to her mouth, Steward Zhou reminded her: "Miss, go upstairs quickly." ”

I had no choice but to go upstairs.

After arriving upstairs, I stood in front of the door of Mu Jingchi's study for a few seconds, and then knocked on the door.

His words came from inside: "Come in." ”

I pushed the door and walked in, Mu Jingchi was standing in front of the window looking at the garden outside, his back to me, the long shadow was cast on the ground by the light, which inexplicably made people feel a little cold and depressed.

I stood there stubbornly and called, "Brother-in-law." ”

He hummed, but instead of looking back at me, he said to me, "There's something on the table." ”

I glanced at him, and then looked on the table, and there was a hairpin on it, which I had given to Wang Zhizhi this morning.

I thought he was going to be angry, just about to explain something.

He suddenly turned to look at me, smiled and asked, "Do you really want me to marry?" ”

I didn't expect that there was no trace of anger on his face, I was stunned for a few seconds, Mu Jingchi walked towards the desk, he sat down on the chair, and then raised his eyes to look at me and said, "Answer me." ”

Since he has asked about this, I have no intention of backing down, I said: "In the past, they always said that you were because I refused, so I didn't marry anymore, even Zhou's mother said that I delayed you, I knew that I was naïve at that time, my sister has been dead for so many years, I can't keep it for her, if you want to marry again, I ...... No opinion. ”

When Mu Jingchi heard me say this, he didn't move, and after a while, he said calmly: "There is more." ”

I said, "I like Wang Zhizhi more than Wang Shuyi." ”

Mu Jingchi picked up the hairpin on the table and said, "This jasper hairpin should have been given to you by me, when you were fourteen years old." ”

When he saw that I did not speak. Knowing that I didn't remember, he rubbed his fingers against the jasper on the hairpin and asked, "In your heart, I am what yours, except for my brother-in-law." ”

I didn't expect him to ask such a question, but he suddenly looked up at me and said, "I remember when you were sixteen years old, I asked you the same question, and you answered my father at that time. He laughed and said, "At that time, I thought that maybe you didn't understand what the word father meant, or what it meant to me, and now your answer is still like this?" ”

He stared at me silently.

I took a small step back to answer.

But he said, "It means that you have isolated me from your world." ”

He smiled softly, handed me the hairpin and said, "Take it, don't give it to you casually what I will give you in the future." ”

I didn't understand what he meant by what he said today, so I picked up the hairpin on the table and looked at him in a daze.

He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "You are an adult, and I will not ask about you again in the future." ”

At this time, someone walked in outside the door, I didn't see who it was at first, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be Wang Shuyi, Mu Jingchi drew up an excerpt on the case, and then handed it to her and said, "Send it to the palace." ”

Wang Shuyi took the fold, just glanced at it, her hands were shaking, and soon, she replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

It was a gift of marriage.
