After a while, Cui Xin came in with tea and said, "Miss, Mother Yang sent someone to bring Sister Ying back." ”

While speaking, a mother-in-law with a white face walked in with Zhu Ying in her arms, and Fu Yifu said, "Slave and maid please say hello to the eldest grandmother." ”

Zhu Ying was tightly wrapped in a small quilt, only revealing a small face, and when she saw Shen Yuechen, she immediately grinned, two small hands stretched out from the quilt, and called out delicately: "Mother." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled, asked her mother-in-law to put her on her lap, hugged her soft body, and said with concern: "Is it cold on the way back?" ”

Seeing that she was about to sit down, Chun Ming immediately took off the quilt that was stained with cold air on her.

Zhu Ying, who was wearing a little red jacket, sat obediently on her lap, raised her little face and said, "My daughter is not cold, mother, look, my hands are warm." After speaking, he gently touched her face with his little hand.

Zhu Ying's hands and face are warm.

Shen Yuechen nodded, and then ordered: "Cuixin, let the kitchen heat the goat's milk and send it over." ”

The old lady must have enjoyed a meal there, but this goat's milk is a good thing to nourish the body, and naturally it can't be left behind for a day.

Cui Xin answered, and soon brought in the warm goat's milk.

Qin Taoxi smelled the smell of milk and frowned slightly.

Children generally don't like to drink goat's milk, disgusted that its taste is too strong, but Zhu Ying never hated it, she directly held the porcelain bowl with both hands, while blowing gently, while slowly drinking goat milk, the little face was smoked by the heat Ruddy, after the goat milk in the bowl was drunk, she raised her head and burped: "Thank you, mother, the goat milk is so delicious, you see, Zhu Ying'er has drunk it clean." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled: "Good boy." After speaking, he patted her on the back gently, handed her back to her mother-in-law's hand, and said gently: "You send her back to Aunt Cao and go back to sleep." ”

The woman answered, wrapped Zhu Ying tightly with the quilt, turned around and retreated.

Qin Taoxi has been sitting opposite, silently enjoying the "intimate" performance of their mother and daughter, and sneering in her heart, a concubine is a concubine! In the end, it's not her own flesh and blood, this time she is innocent and cute, and she will be affectionate, but once she grows up, she doesn't want to reach out and push her into the fire pit......

Qin Taoxi sneered in her heart, then took out a picture scroll from the maid's hand, got up and handed it to Shen Yuechen, and said softly: "Two days ago, the first snow fell in the sky, and the concubine drew a picture of magpie plum blossoms on a whim, and wanted to give it to the eldest grandmother, and I hope you can accept it." ”

During this period of time, the Qin family lived quite quietly, either bored in the room every day, or occasionally went to the yard to walk and fold flowers, which was completely the leisure and leisure of the little daughter's family. It's just that the quieter she is, the more Shen Yuechen has to guard against it......

Looking at her appearance, Shen Yuechen knew that she was going to take action soon, but at the moment, she could only pretend that she didn't notice anything before she could lure the snake out of the hole.

"Oh?" Shen Yuechen was slightly surprised, raised her hand to let Chun Ming open it and take a look, only to see that several plum blossoms were blooming on the painting, the color was uniform and beautiful, the deep red, the light pink, and there was a shallow snow scene behind it as a foil, the snow was like plum, and the plum was like snow......

However, the most eye-catching thing in the painting is the magpie bird standing on the branch and crying the good news, its front is black and white, its eyes are bright and bright, and its posture is light and lifelike.

The daughter of the Qin family really lives up to her name.

Usually accustomed to seeing Qin Taoxi's flying and domineering appearance, it is hard to imagine that she would have such a delicate and delicate side.

Shen Yuechen couldn't help clapping her hands and praised: "Sister, it's really a real person who doesn't show up." This painting is lifelike and exquisitely crafted, and it is truly a masterpiece. ”

Qin Taoxi smiled faintly: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, why worry about it!" ”

Shen Yuechen asked Chun Ming to put away the words, and said with a smile: "My sister has a heart, I will definitely keep this painting." ”

Qin Taoxi continued: "The concubine has no strengths, so she can only do her best in this little thing. Before, the concubine and Sister Sun had some misunderstandings, and the concubine had always wanted to find an opportunity to release her suspicions with her, but now that Sister Sun was pregnant, the concubine didn't dare to go over to disturb at will, so she thought about painting one more "Happy Eyebrows" for her as a gift, which could be regarded as a slight expression. ”

What was given to her was "The Magpie Annunciation", and what was given to Sun Wenpei was "Happy Eyebrows", it seems that Qin Taoxi has spent a lot of effort for them.

Shen Yuechen groaned slightly, and said, "The Sun family is happy now, so naturally they are happy. My sister's mind is very appropriate. ”

Qin Taoxi followed: "It's just ...... The concubine doesn't know Sister Sun's preferences, this plum blossom is red, white, pink and green, colorful and gorgeous, I don't know which one Sister Sun prefers, which color? ”

Shen Yuechen's eyes deepened, and then he asked, "I naturally don't know Sun's preferences. If my sister really has a heart, she might as well ask the maid next to her, and she will know. ”

Qin Taoxi lowered his eyebrows, covered up the flash of light in his eyes, and was silent for a moment before he said, "It's natural and safe to do this." However, the concubine wanted to wait for the painting to be completed and then give it to Sister Sun, wanting to surprise her. In case the next people know first, I'm afraid that Sister Sun will also know. ”

Surprise? I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will only be surprise, not joy. Shen Yuechen spent a moment in her heart before she said: "The gift is the most important thing, why should my sister stick to the subtleties." ”

Qin Taoxi sighed and said: "Speaking of which, it's all about concubines who are not good, they used to be too young and vigorous, and they didn't forgive people everywhere, and they bumped into my sister a lot." This time, the concubine really wanted to reconcile with Sister Sun, but she was afraid that she would be suspicious...... Therefore, the concubine thought of a way, wanted to hold a plum appreciation party in the Changchun Garden, prepared good tea, wine and snacks, and asked the grandmother to come forward to be a middleman and say some good things for the concubine and Sister Sun. ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she smiled and touched the old string of Buddha beads on her wrist.

The plum blossom viewing party is indeed a good idea. This is a good time to enjoy the plum blossoms. It's a pity that Qin Taoxi proposed it, which is really difficult for people not to think about it.

Shen Yuechen smiled, looked at Qin Taoxi again, and said, "Sister's idea is excellent. As the head mother of the first hospital, I naturally hope that everyone will be together harmoniously. It's just that as the New Year approaches, I have too many things in my hands, and I really can't pull out the time to Zhang Luo to appreciate the plum club. After speaking, she deliberately raised her finger and pointed to the gift list and account book on the table, and continued: "Don't hide it from my sister, I haven't rushed out of the gift list that the old lady asked me to sort out before, and I don't know how to pay it back?" ”

Chun Ming's gaze flickered, knowing that Qin Taoxi must be holding back some bad ideas in her stomach again, so she immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Aunt Qin, let the slave interject first." Since you care so much about Aunt Sun, you should also be considerate of my young lady. At this time, my young lady is so busy that her feet are almost not touching the ground, and she has no time to eat tea and dinner, so she can't sit still......" She said this, and deliberately sighed lightly: Alas, in addition to the things in this courtyard, my young lady also has to help take care of the affairs of the West Garden, and prepare for the New Year's gift, and settle the New Year's goods, and also carefully calculate the accounts in and out of the courtyard. ”

"Spring tea, not many mouths."

Shen Yuechen reprimanded gently, but she didn't say that she was wrong.

Although Chun Ming spoke gently, her sentences were sharp, which made Qin Taoxi's face a little unbearable, and she secretly smiled coldly, and replied: "The concubine knows that the eldest grandmother and noble person are busy. However, the concubine is also a kind heart, this plum appreciation party, the concubine can handle it personally, just ask the grandmother to be able to appreciate her face at that time, and move over to eat a cup of tea, which is to give the concubine a great face. ”

She doesn't want to show up, she can retreat to the second, as long as she is willing to come over and show her face, this game is not in vain.

Shen Yuechen listened to Qin Taoxi's words, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and showed a kind smile on her face, "My sister is sincere, I can't talk to death." In this way, my sister will first look at her own intentions and arrange, turn around and send someone over to say something. When everything is ready, I'll try to get over as long as I can. ”

Qin Taoxi saw that she was reluctant to agree, and thought to herself, she must have scruples about herself, and she didn't want to continue to grind and chirp to beg for fun, so she only said: "Yes, the concubine understands, go back and prepare everything, and the concubine will come over again to invite in person." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded silently, and waved her hand to signal her to retreat first.

Qin Taoxi retreated as he said.

Chun Ming looked at her slender back and secretly sighed: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." ”

Shen Yuechen waited for her to leave, and asked Chun Ming to spread out the magpie annunciation to take a look.

Chun Ming spread the painting on the table and whispered: "This Laoshizi thing, if Miss still looks at it less, so as not to dirty your eyes." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she smiled lightly: "Although the Qin family's character is poor, his painting skills are good. Although I don't know much about this, I know that she is a person who has worked hard. ”

Boudoir women, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the most hard. Shen Yuechen was able to learn a good hand because of his fate with the master. And although Qin Taoxi is a concubine, she is also from a young lady. Although there are occasional frivolous manners and words, how can it really be a thing in the pool......

Shen Yuechen looked at the painting and was slightly surprised.

Chun Ming was beside her, and couldn't help but speak: "Miss, Aunt Qin's plum appreciation party, don't go, lest you give her another chance to cause trouble." ”

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "Naturally, I won't go." Neither the Qin nor the Sun are fuel-efficient lamps, so let them do it themselves. I need to take care of my own body, so I don't have to wade into this troubled water. ”

When Chun Ming heard this, her heart was a little relieved, and she nodded: "Miss said so, the slave and maid can rest assured." ”

Shen Yuechen looked at her relieved appearance and smiled slightly: "Come on, put away the painting, find a clean place, don't get dirty." ”

Although people hate it, painting is innocent, don't waste things in vain.

Plum Appreciation Meeting, Shen Yuechen has always kept this matter in his heart, and asked the little maid to pay attention to the movements of the Qin family every day.

She is busy, Zhu Jintang is busier than her, almost next to the pillow at night, the two of them have sex less often, but they still eat and sleep together, get along with each other day and night, although they don't talk much, but the tacit understanding between the two is undiminished.

The time entered November, and there were several snowfalls, and the snow was heavier than once, which was really in response to the good intentions of Ruixue Zhaofeng Year.

Xu Yes, because he was tired, Shen Yuechen's small days went back a few days, and when he came again, the pain became more and more severe.

On this day, Shen Yuechen couldn't get up from bed since morning, her face was pale, and it was difficult to get out of bed. Fortunately, she calculated the New Year's account two nights ago and sent it to Li's. Li Shi rewarded her with two days off, so that she didn't have to go over to say goodbye, so that the elders didn't have to find out.

As for Zhu Jintang, Shen Yuechen was half-coaxed and half-lied, so he finally pushed him to someone else.

She didn't want him to see her like this, and she didn't want him to be suspicious.

The belly-warming soup woman changed one after another, and the charcoal fire in the house was also added and added.

Chun Ming stood on the side of the bed, looking at Shen Yuechen sweating in pain, biting her lower lip hard, she was about to bite her lip, and couldn't help but say urgently: "Miss, I haven't hurt so much for a long time, shouldn't I invite a doctor to ......?"

Before she finished her words, she slapped herself in the mouth, "The slave is too talkative, the slave should be beaten." ”

Mother Wu frowned and said, "It's not okay to be so stiff, hurry up and serve the young lady to get dressed, let's go to the house." ”

As soon as her words fell, Shen Yuechen groaned and said, "No...... There are people inside and outside the courtyard, and there are so many people that you can't go out......"

The women of the inner house, how can they say that they will go out when they go out, and not to say, the elders do not agree, even if they are seen by the subordinates, it is not easy to get over.

Mother Wu hurriedly said: "Miss, it's not a way for you to be hurt like this." Let's just go back to my parents' house, and when we go back to my parents' house, we can see a doctor. ”

Shen Yuechen shook his head: "The house is so busy, if I go back to my parents' house, won't it make people gossip...... I'm fine, it's not the first time I've been like this, I can't help it......"

Once I am uncomfortable and go back to my parents' house twice, it is difficult to go back to my parents' house once a month.

After a while, the little maid outside came to report softly: "Aunt Qin is here." ”

Shen Yuechen frowned, waved his hand, and signaled that he was gone.

Chun Ming said indignantly: "Let her go back and forth from where!" "If you don't come early, you won't come late, but this time will come to make trouble.

The little maid stood outside, didn't dare to go in, and hesitated: "Aunt Qin said, Mei Yan after the snow today, I want to invite the eldest grandmother to go to the Qinxiang Pavilion in Changchun Garden in the afternoon to enjoy plum blossoms and tea." ”

Seeing that she didn't reply, Chun Ming was still rambling here, and immediately got annoyed, walked straight over and slapped her, and shouted angrily: "Get out." Who let you casually lift the curtain to come in, faceless bastard thing, grandma said no, what are you still talking about here! If you dare to talk more, I'll peel you right now! ”

She deliberately said it very loudly, and it was best to let Qin Taoxi outside the door hear it.

The little maid was slapped in the mouth, choked up and ran out to reply.

Mother Wu looked at Chunming and reminded: "Miss is uncomfortable, why do you bother to beat and scold." ”

Chun Ming said helplessly: "Miss and mother are too soft-hearted, this little girl is the most greedy and short-handed, and she doesn't even understand the rules when others give her what she wants." Miss couldn't see the cool breeze this time, so she recklessly lifted the curtain and came in, saying that if she didn't leave, she must have gotten the Qin family's reward money, so she was grinding and chirping here. ”

Recently, things have been busy, there are many people, and the masters can't care about managing their subordinates, but they have loosened the skin on their bodies one by one.

When Wu's mother heard this, she didn't speak for a while, and Chun Ming continued: "Mom is a decent person, don't pay attention to these maids." When I'm free, I'll have to clean them up. ”

Shen Yuechen lay on the bed and thought for a while: "You go and tell the Qin family that I will go over and take a look at the afternoon plum appreciation party when I am free, so that the aunts and sisters can have a good time first." ”

When Wu Ma and Chun Ming heard this, they were both stunned, and hurriedly said: "Miss is confused, she clearly wants to design you, what else are you going to do?" ”

Shen Yuechen took a deep breath, "I'm just afraid that she has noticed something, so let's slow down first." ”

When she encounters such a person who doesn't know what to do, she can't help but be thoughtful. This plum appreciation party, the Qin family has been preparing for half a month, so I have to wait until her little day to invite her, don't have any other thoughts.

Chun Ming twisted her handkerchief, hesitated for a moment, and went to reply to Aunt Qin.

Qin Taoxi was not in a hurry or annoyed, she just said that it was okay, and she was waiting for her with her sisters.

Her plan is seamless, even if Shen Yuechen doesn't come, she won't be able to get rid of her responsibilities when the time comes. If Shen Yuechen came, it would naturally be better.

In the afternoon, the sun is shining and the sky is clean.

The Qinxiang Pavilion of Changchun Garden, although there are not mountains and rivers around, is next to a large plum forest.

This place was originally called Meixiang Pavilion, but later the Zhu family felt that it was not elegant, so it was changed to Qinxiang Pavilion.

Qin Taoxi used the excuse of appreciating plum blossoms to gather several aunts together.

With her reputation, she naturally couldn't invite her, but when she heard that Shen Yuechen would also come, it was not good for those aunts to come.

Sun Wenpei had a taboo in his heart against the Qin family, so he only brought all the maids and women in the house, and followed him back and forth, looking full of momentum.

Seeing this, Cao Shi smiled slightly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Sister Sun's pomp is getting bigger and bigger." We are here to enjoy the plum blossoms, not to travel. ”

Sun Wenpei smiled faintly: "I myself feel very troublesome, but the old lady and the lady have told me to be careful and careful, and put the child first." ”

Seeing that Sun's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the pomp is getting bigger and bigger, it is impossible for others not to blush.

Cao Shi seemed to smile: "My sister is so blessed, the plum blossoms are just right today." My sister takes a look at these flowers and grasses. Bao Zhun'er, the children born in the future are more beautiful than the bones of flowers. ”

Good end-of-the-road. What kind of flowers do you compare my child to? obviously wants to curse me to give birth to a daughter like her.

Sun Wenpei frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Thank you, sister." ”

Today, Sun Wenpei was very careful, she didn't want to come, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but come.

She can't be so afraid of the Qin family for the rest of her life, live with trepidation, and when the child is born in the future, the identities of the two will naturally have their own high and low.

In the future, this person who looks up and doesn't look down can never go back and avoid the Qin family.

Besides, she had no reason to be afraid of her.

Now, the Qin family is like a toothless tiger, it can't bite people if it wants to, and if it dares to cause trouble, it is self-defeating......
