The cuckoo sneered and said this, and then walked away.

Seeing her so arrogant, Xiao Tao couldn't help frowning, only to feel very troublesome.

Xia Jiu looked flustered and uneasy, came to Xiao Tao, and said at a loss: "Girl, we have to be careful." This cuckoo is clearly here to find fault, and the slave knows that she won't die so easily......"

Xiao Tao was also angry with Du Juan in her heart, but seeing Xia Jiu's panicked appearance, she also felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Although the cuckoo is not good and speaks evilly, what she says is not all useless.

Except for Xia Jiu, there is no one else around her who can be trusted and available, how can she take care of herself alone. This was a different time, and she had to think about herself.

A person immediately popped up in Xiao Tao's mind, the big grandmother, and now she is the only one who can help herself, protect herself, and protect this child.

However, the big grandmother is not something she can see when she meets. Especially the big identity gap between the two people, and on the surface, they are separate, and it is too difficult to see each other.

Xiao Tao only hopes that the "message" she sent before has been seen by the smart grandmother.

On the other side, after Wu's mother prepared the zongzi, she personally sent them to the hospitals. Supposedly, these trivial errands can be done by others. However, Wu's mother was still ready to send it in person, first in the main courtyard, and then in the east and west courtyards.

Wu's mother deliberately sent the last box to Zhu Jinlun's yard. At this time, most of the maids and ladies in the courtyard are still eating, drinking and enjoying themselves in the backyard, and occasionally three or two people come back, but they also return to the room to be sleepy because they are too full.

Mother Wu is the right-hand man next to the grandmother, and the little maid in the concierge recognized her at a glance and hurriedly greeted her with a smile.

Mother Wu saw that they were slightly drunk, so she smiled and said, "I came to send eight treasure zongzi to the second young master on the orders of the eldest grandmother." ”

When the little guy heard this, he hurriedly said: "This will be the second master's absence, but the little peach girl is here, mother, please come in ......"

Mother Wu smiled faintly, walked into the courtyard slowly, raised her eyes, and sure enough, it was almost as she expected, the courtyard was deserted, and no one could see it.

The little guy blushed and said flatteringly: "The masters are gracious, so that those of us who are subordinates can also follow suit." However, those maids and wives are greedy, and they will still be in the backyard and have not come out, do you want to summon them for you? ”

Mother Wu shook her head and said, "Don't bother, it's the same if I hand over the things to the little peach girl." ”

When the little guy heard this, he felt that she was really a good talker, so he hurriedly invited her in.

As a small servant, he can't enter the house without the master's instructions, and can only stand at the door to communicate.

At this time, Xiao Tao was secretly anxious in her heart, and suddenly heard a report from the little maid outside the door: "Girl, Mother Wu from the west courtyard is here." ”

Xiao Tao was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly got up to greet her.

Mother Wu walked into the house with a smile, and pretended not to know and exclaimed: "Oh, this is the little peach girl." She looks so cute. ”

Xiao Tao immediately understood, and hurriedly took Xia Jiu forward with Fufu and said, "Say hello to Mother Wu." ”

The little guy stood outside the door and listened to a whisper, and then hurried back to the porter to wait.

Mother Wu handed the box she was holding to Xia Jiu, who greeted her, and said with a smile while looking at the layout and furnishings in the room: "This is the eight-treasure zongzi I made myself, and the eldest grandmother asked me to bring some for the second young master and the girl to try." ”

"There's Mama Lao." Xiao Tao's eyes turned, and he looked at Xia Jiu next to him and ordered, "Go and make a bowl of tea for your mother, and bring some fruit by the way." By the way, there are also a few kinds of dim sum, so you have to pick the best one. ”

She explained very carefully, firstly, she wanted to treat Wu's mother well, and secondly, she deliberately supported Xia Jiu, so that she and Wu's mother could talk more time.

Xia Jiu took the order and left, his footsteps were hurried, and he disappeared after a while.

Mother Wu deliberately picked a seat where she could see the outside, and then sat down and said, "I'll sit here and talk to you, let's just pay attention." ”

Xiao Tao nodded, sat down next to her, and bit her lip slightly, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Mother Wu's eyes turned around her a few times, and she asked lightly, "Have you invited a doctor?" ”

Xiao Tao shook her head, "I haven't told the second young master about this yet, if you take the liberty of inviting a doctor, I'm afraid he will be worried." ”

Wu's mother thought about it, if she had invited a doctor, the news would have spread long ago.

"How sure are you in your own heart?"

Xiao Tao's cheeks were slightly red and said, "The slave maid said it badly...... It's just that the menstrual period is delayed, and the body is always very tired, sleepy and anorexic...... When I was a child, when I saw my mother pregnant with my younger brother, it was like what I am now, so I think there are always three or four percent. ”

Mother Wu smiled slightly: "It's the first time for you, and it's not clear for a while." When grandma saw the pastries you sent, she was very happy for you...... However, for the sake of safety, it is better to ask the doctor to come and take a closer look. Pregnancy is not a trivial matter, and it is better to be careful. ”

When Xiao Tao heard this, her heart calmed down a little, and she nodded hurriedly and said, "The slave knows." ”

Mother Wu still said with a smile: "Hurry up and find a time to tell the second young master." If you do, you'll be his eldest son. ”

Yes, if it's a boy, it's the eldest son of the second young master, his first son.

When Xiao Tao heard this, she felt a warmth hit her heart, making her whole body warm, and it felt like her whole body was soaked in hot water, warm and soft.

Wu's mother then said: "Grandma said, I want you to take good care of your body." There are not many people around you who are serving, and you always rely on a Xia Jiu, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to take care of everything, and you still have to add another person. In terms of candidates, I will keep an eye on you, and if there is a suitable one, I will send it to you later. ”

When Xiao Tao heard this, she couldn't help but be grateful, and only said, "Thank you, mother, the slave is worried about this right now." ”

Wu's mother said: "The girl is at ease here to serve the second master, and the eldest grandmother has always been very worried about you, but now she is not easy to work with her body, and many things are more than enough but not enough." ”

Xiao Tao lowered her head, "The slave and maid know, and the tired mother turned around to bring a hello to the eldest grandmother for the slave and maid, and thanked her for her many care for the slave and maid." ”

Mother Wu nodded, "I know." I can't stay too long on the girl's side, and if the girl doesn't have anything to do, I'll go back first. ”

Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Xiao Tao hurriedly said, "Mom, don't leave first, you have to have a cup of tea......"

Mother Wu shook her head: "After all, I am from the West Courtyard, and if I stay here for too long, I will cause gossip." ”

Xiao Tao thought to herself, there was almost no one in the courtyard, if there was anyone, seeing the two of them talking in one place, eighty percent would have a discussion.

Xia Jiu was holding the tray, it was too late, and when he saw Wu's mother getting up to leave, he thought that he was late, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mom, please stay, it's all slaves and maids who are not good, and slaves and maids are late." ”

Wu's mother smiled: "I'll leave the tea for you to eat, I won't have much to do here." ”

Xiao Tao took Xia Jiu to personally send Wu's mother out of the door, and watched her go away until she turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Xia Jiu had seen Mother Wu for the second time, and couldn't help but sigh for a while: "Did the girl find out?" The people around the grandmother are all gentle-looking, all of them are kind and kind. ”

Xiao Tao was surprised when she heard this, turned her face to look at her and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Xia Jiu smiled slightly: "The slave maid has occasionally seen Mother Wu twice, as well as the maid called Spring Tea, I think they are always smiling, with a gentle face, and they all look like people who are very good at talking." ”

Although she doesn't know much, she can also look at some eyes and know what kind of people to deal with.

The corners of Xiao Tao's mouth pursed slightly, and she only said: "You are simple, people smile at you, and you think they are good people." ”

When Xia Jiu heard this, he raised his head to look at her and asked, "Isn't the girl like this?" ”

Xiao Tao didn't answer, just smiled silently.

What are the good guys and the bad guys, there are only so many people she can trust. The eldest grandmother is kind to her, but this kindness will have to be repaid sooner or later, she knows it in her own heart, and the eldest grandmother will naturally not forget it.

Xiao Tao slowly sat back in her seat, looking at the tea and snacks brought by Xia Jiu, she didn't have any appetite at all.

Xia Jiu sighed and only said, "It's a pity that these things are the best ones to take." ”

Xiao Tao said lightly: "Then you can eat it." ”

Xia Jiu hurriedly shook his head: "I can't help it, this snack was left to the girl by the second young master." ”

"I don't have an appetite, and if I don't eat it, I'll waste it."

In the past two days, she doesn't like to eat more sweet things, and every time she dips one or two bites, she has to be tired for a long time.

Xia Jiu couldn't help but feel sorry for her: "Such a good dim sum...... Girl, have you been feeling unwell lately, and your appetite is always sluggish. ”

Xiao Tao smiled meaningfully: "I'm not uncomfortable, it's just ......" Her hand unconsciously covered her flat lower abdomen, and she stopped talking: "However, I still have to ask a doctor to come and take a look." ”

When Xia Jiu heard this, he stretched out his hand to the pastry, and immediately took it back, and said, "Girl, do you want to see a doctor now?" ”

Xiao Tao shook her head slightly: "No, tomorrow." Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, it's a good day, let's have a good holiday first. ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Tao excused herself to say that her spleen and stomach were not in harmony, and she wanted to find a doctor to come into the house to have a look.

When Zhu Jinlun heard this, he immediately took this matter to heart and found Dr. Zhang, who often asked for peace for his mother.

The doctor Zhang had superb medical skills, and after diagnosing the pulse, he stepped forward with a smile to say hello to Zhu Jinlun.

Zhu Jinlun was stunned when he heard this, he didn't react in half a sound, he turned his head to look at Xiao Tao, his eyes widened slightly, and subconsciously fell on her stomach.

Today's little peach is wearing a well-cut long dress, just enough to highlight her slender waist.

Zhu Jinlun looked at her abdomen in disbelief, which was so flat that she couldn't see any signs, and couldn't help asking, "Doctor Zhang, what you just said is true?" ”

The doctor smiled and said seriously: "Second young master, the doctor has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years, and he has never made mistakes. Little Peach girl, she has been pregnant for nearly two months, and the old body congratulates you again on the second young master. ”

Xiao Tao sat aside, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she only lowered her cuffs and arranged the hem of her clothes without saying a word.

Zhu Jinlun just laughed when he heard it, and his hearty laughter made Xiao Tao's face seem to be on fire, and the more it burned, the redder it became.

Xia Jiu stood aside, and was about to jump up happily, but because the second young master was still there, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, she just ran to the bed, came to Xiao Tao's side, knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the second young master, congratulations to the girl." No wonder the girl has been feeling tired lately, it turns out that she is pregnant, and this is wonderful, wonderful! ”

Zhu Jinlun saw that she was talking a lot, and said loudly: "You girl talks a lot, hurry up and tell the second lady to report the good news, I will have a heavy reward when I turn back." ”

When Xia Jiu heard this, he hurriedly went happily.

Dr. Zhang immediately followed, he was originally going to Chai for a consultation today, but now there is such good news, and he happened to go over to receive the reward.

Chai, who was raising a baby with peace of mind, was upset by such a sudden good news.

It stands to reason that Zhu Jinlun is going to be a father and a grandmother, which should be happy.

However, the kid came at an inopportune time. Zhu Jinlun is about to get married, and the bride is about to enter the door, and there is a pot-bellied pregnant woman beside him, pregnant with a child, competing for favor, isn't it deliberately adding to the heart of the He family?

Chai Shi was so anxious that she caused a burst of fetal movement, she stroked her stomach and frowned, and there was no smile on her face.

There was no joy on Chai's face, and the cuckoo standing behind her had a pale face, and his face was extremely ugly.

No wonder, when I saw her before, she dared to cross her nose and raise her eyes with herself, it turned out that she was pregnant with the second master's child, so she felt that her waist was straight and she was confident.

The more Du Juan thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he was so calm that he didn't go on a rampage, and he settled accounts with her in an orderly manner, otherwise, if he hurt the second master's child, wouldn't it be a big sin.

That Doctor Zhang is a person who is very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Chai's unhappy appearance, he immediately stopped talking and silently retreated to the side to write a prescription.

It's not that Chai doesn't want to hug his grandson, but the difference between this grandson and his grandson is too big.

Chai sighed softly, this little peach was lucky to be pregnant in such a short time. That cuckoo has been following nylon for so many years, and there has never been movement in his stomach, and he is really more popular than people!

If you have it, you have it, not to mention, it's still your own grandson. Chai Shi was a little embarrassed in his heart for a while, then he smiled slightly, and said to Dr. Zhang: "Since this happy pulse was diagnosed by you, then in the future, I will bother you to take care of this baby carefully, for me, for our second master, to take care of this child." ”

When Dr. Zhang heard this, he knew that his future benefits were indispensable, so he nodded and agreed: "Second lady, rest assured, I will do my best to keep you and Miss Peach's mother and child safe and give birth smoothly." ”

Say two more auspicious words, and you will get more money.

Nowadays, the Zhu family is prosperous and lucky, and naturally they are stingy, and every time they make a move, they always pay two pieces of silver.

Although Xiao Tao is not even an aunt, because she is pregnant this time, she has also received a few words of praise from the old man and the old lady.

The heirs of the Zhu family have always been thin, and now there are three pregnant women in the family at the same time, which is a rare blessing in the Zhu family in a hundred years.

Old man Zhu saw that the Zhu family was full of incense, and he was very happy, and immediately asked his wife to prepare to worship his ancestors, reward the Buddha, and have a good lively and lively atmosphere.

The old lady was also happy in her heart, only to feel that the Zhu family's three joys were coming, it was really a transfer, if someone could add another joy, it would be four joys.

If you follow the old lady's mind, the more children in the family, the better. No matter how many children there are, their Zhu family can afford to raise them well.

The Zhu family has many happy events, the family is happy, and it is very lively. But behind this joy, there are also small thoughts in the hearts of many people.

The cuckoo is undoubtedly the one with the deepest resentment. She wholeheartedly wanted to return to the second young master, originally there was only Xiao Tao in front of her, but now, Xiao Tao's slut had an extra piece of meat in her stomach, which was going to completely block her future......

Cuckoo's mind turns around with all kinds of ideas, ruthless, vicious, one after another, every day in addition to doing things and eating, there is only one thing she thinks about, that is, how to make Xiao Tao unable to give birth to this child......

And the Chai family was busy locking people's mouths, so that they were not allowed to talk nonsense when the little peach girl was pregnant, so as not to wear it back and forth and fall into the ears of people with a heart, and the He family heard the wind.

In the face of the child, Chai didn't want to treat Xiao Tao badly. However, her identity is there, and she is not even a concubine, so she can't steal the limelight from her new daughter-in-law.

Chai's method is to hide it first, wait for the new daughter-in-law to enter, and then slowly explain and slowly ease up.

……

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun became scorching day by day.

The ice in the ice cellar was brought out in a steady stream, but unfortunately, half of it melted before it could reach the place.

Shen Yuechen's physique is cold, it is not suitable to use ice, and it is uncomfortably hot every day, but he can only fan his fan and wipe his body.

At noon that day, Li sent someone to bring guinea fowl stewed ginseng, which had been stewed for nearly half a day, and it took a lot of effort.

Shen Yuechen looked at the steaming white soup and fluffy chicken, frowned slightly, and before Wu's mother could speak, she shook her head and said, "I can't eat it." ”

Wu's mother persuaded: "Miss, this is a tonic, you have to eat it while it's hot." ”

Shen Yuechen still shook her head, and before she could speak, she saw a maid hurriedly running outside the door, sweating and anxious: "Grandma, the old lady called you to go to the room." ”

Shen Yuechen saw that someone was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The maid snorted and said, "Yes...... It was the second lady who accidentally flashed her waist, as if she had a fetal gas, and she was afraid that she was going to give birth......"

Shen Yuechen's face changed slightly, and he was busy holding Chun Ming's hand, stood up and said, "Hurry up and change my clothes for me." After speaking, he said to the maid, "You go and reply to the old lady first, saying that I will be there soon." ”
