Chapter 249: Idle Time
The sky was clear and there was a slight breeze, and although it was summer, it was not hot. On such a morning, a group of people were watching Siniang embroider a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water in the Moxiang Courtyard to make a screen for Wu Niang.
The breeze blew into the small pavilion with the fragrance of flowers in the yard, and there were their own girls fanning around, and everyone was looking at it while joking at Wu Niang, but Wu Niang didn't seem to be very attentive, and looked up from time to time to look out. Xue Jian is still basking in the sun as usual, or standing up and walking, her body has gradually recovered, and the recovery is relatively fast according to Xu Cong'an.
Xue saw that she was eating a black egg drink slowly, and a little girl walked in at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Xing greeted her, and the little girl said something in her ear, and then withdrew. Xiao Xing naturally returned to Xue Jian's side, but didn't say anything, seeing that Xue Jian had put down the bowl in his hand, she took the handkerchief handed over by the girl next to her and wiped her hands for Xue Jian.
Not to mention, since the engagement, Bai Yitian has become a lot more disciplined, unlike before, taking the Zhou family's backyard as his own home, and only staying in the front yard with Zhou Bo every time. Yukimi thought to himself, in fact, these two should be considered free love. So there was a smile on his lips, and he said softly to Wu Niang: "Shu'er, your eldest brother went out in a hurry early this morning and forgot to bring a cloak." You see it's a little windy now, you can help your sister-in-law take this cloak and send it to the outer study, okay? ”
Xue Jian is not a real ancient, so when he encounters this kind of thing, he naturally wants to create more opportunities for Wu Niang and Bai Yitian. Erniang only glanced up at the two of them, and only felt that in the sun, the smile on Wuniang's face was a little bright.
Erniang was blind twice, and looked at the slightly shy but smiling Wu Niang with a little dazed, and the inexplicable mixed tastes in her heart, it turned out that the little Wu Niang also had such a natural and expectant expression of flowers blooming in the sun when she was quiet, and her sourness was extremely dazzling, and Erniang's face darkened, but she didn't say anything.
Watching Wu Niang leave happily, Xue Jian began to feel that there was nothing to do again. She opened her eyes wide, full of saliva looking at the vivid patterns of Siniang's hands, and couldn't help but sigh with envy and hatred, if she was asked to pick up the embroidery and embroidery something, she herself was embarrassed to take the needle, and others were embarrassed to help her twist the thread. It's better when I was a girl before, you can follow Zhou Bo and go around the world. What she doesn't know is that this girl who takes shopping as a profession in the world, Quan Dashun, is just like her.
Out of the pavilion, pacing under the flower tree, the half-light and half-dark sunlight shining warmly on the body, Xue Jian simply asked the girl to take the rattan chair out, and then sat comfortably, closed her eyes, and shook the rattan chair back and forth to think.
She is now doing nothing all day and is very uncomfortable. In fact, she had nothing to do before, just went to see the child every day, the stinky boy who was getting more and more white and fat, either ate or slept, and would not have too much interaction with her, which made her inevitably feel bored. All of her sometimes when the child is asleep, she deliberately pinched his chubby hands and feet, or kissed the chubby face with saliva. But every time she did this, the two nurses would always stand on both sides, stunned to pay attention to her, although they didn't dare to accuse this beautiful young grandmother who was so unreliable in her behavior, but the wordless accusation in her eyes made Xue see that she was sneering, and finally ran away. Alas, when will I be able to grow up and run and play with her?
"Brother Cheng, have you ever woken up?" The Nth time I asked, Xiaomei shook her fan and was silent for a moment, if she woke up, someone over there would have already come to tell her, it's really ....... She thought about it, leaned down slightly, and whispered in Xuejian's ear: "Miss Yao's gift, is the young grandmother ready?" ”
"Hmm." Yukimi sat up, asked for a cup of jujube tea, and continued to think about it while drinking it slowly. A few days ago, I did receive a letter from Yao Yingcan, and this girl is also going to be engaged. Xue Jian didn't care much about who the man was, but he only knew that Yao Yingcan himself had secretly seen the past in disguise as a man, and he was very satisfied, so Xue Jian was relieved. She subconsciously shook her head, she is also a noble girl, this Yao Yingcan's life is much more wonderful and richer than Wang Congmeng's. Her eyes drifted to Erniang, and Erniang's side face exuded a gentle and soft luster. To be honest, Erniang's appearance is no worse than those two noble girls, vaguely a few points better, but she doesn't mention her body, only her personality, which really can't be compared with Yao Yingcan's coolness, even compared to the timid Wang Congmeng, it is much more old-fashioned and boring. Without the help of others, she herself will forever implant the three from the four virtues, the three outlines and the five constants into the bone marrow, which is really a model of grace and virtuousness.
Xue Jian felt that he knew Erniang very well, and the more he understood, the more he didn't understand. Alas, living like this, Erniang is actually very tired, right? But she was not strong enough to influence Erniang's thoughts, and she had no intention of changing anything, just thinking that it was indeed time to mention Erniang's family affairs to the first priority of the Zhou family.
A few little ladies came out softly and laughed from time to time, making Xue Jian feel like a grand view of the garden in a trance. The people re-brewed herbal tea in the past, Xue saw that she naturally didn't drink it, Siniang put down the needle and thread, and Xiaoyu immediately went over and helped massage her neck. Siniang waved her hand, then poked her head out, asked people to remove the embroidery work, and then looked for what she liked to eat in the table full of food snacks, and was eating, but suddenly asked, "What about Shu'er?" ”
"The fifth lady helped the eldest young grandmother go to the outer study to give the eldest young master a cloak." Siniang nodded, picked a plate of roasted clams, and promised with a smile: "Sister-in-law is really virtuous!" On this day, a cloak is indeed needed. ”
"Well, it's windy today."
"That's why sister-in-law is virtuous."
"Hmm." Xue Jianquan nodded solemnly when they were praising themselves, then stared at Siniang, who was eating sweetly, for a while, turned her head to look at Erniang and sighed: "This garden is full of tall people, and she eats all day long, and she is not afraid of eating too fat, and she can't get married when she comes back." ”
"That's what a sister-in-law should say?" Wu Niang didn't answer Xue Jian's words, but stopped the chopsticks, glared at her with a slightly red face, turned her head to look at Erniang, and turned a few times carefully, although she was used to her sister-in-law's inattention, but this topic is now very sensitive, so she joked cautiously: "I will eat here with my sister-in-law for a lifetime, it's not impossible." ”
"Well, that's true, it's just that Aunt Zhao is afraid that she will hate me to death." Xue saw that Siniang really glared at her again, and laughed.
"What's there to worry about? With the hatred of others, the fourth sister is full of food, anyway, there are not as many delicious things as the sister-in-law here, why do you have to get married? Qi Niang was talking, and when she saw Er Niang frowning and glaring, she stuck out her tongue and continued, "Isn't what I said right?" Why do women have to get married? If you get married, you have to have children...... It's too dangerous! ”
