Chapter 269: Choice (3)
Carefully calculated, Xiao Tao was by Zhu Jinlun's side, and it was only three or four months of hard work. However, she was really lucky to have the news in such a short time......
Shen Yuechen put the cakes aside again, and slowly paced around the room by himself, lowering his head and lowering his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Mother Wu said with a slight smile: "Miss, things are really as you expected, and that kid is angry." ”
Shen Yuechen said: "I know that the second young master has always been partial to her, but I didn't expect her to get pregnant with ...... so soon."
Mother Wu listened to her tone a little low, and couldn't help asking: "That child is pregnant, it is a troublesome thing for the second room, the second young master is about to marry, if when the bride enters the door, see the child and the child in her womb, wouldn't it be a loss of face...... If she can really give birth to a son, the second room is bound to be lively. ”
I have to say that the reason why Shen Yuechen wanted to install a little peach next to Zhu Jinlun in the first place was that there was no way. Zhu Jinlun is about to get married, and once he becomes a parent, he will have the opportunity to give birth to a son-in-law.
For the sake of the long house, the only thing that Shen Yuechen can carefully calculate is to let the eldest son of the second room be a concubine, not a concubine.
There is a difference. Although the eldest son is also the eldest son, his status is far inferior to that of his son-in-law, and even when he grows up, he is not qualified to inherit the family business, so he can only share it in peace and live his life without fighting.
Shen Yuechen said slowly: "Her child is ingenious, but with her own strength, she may not be able to protect it thoroughly." She is being favored now, and there are more people around her who are red-eyed, and if someone has bad intentions, she will inevitably have to bear a bit of danger. ”
If you want the plan to go well, Shen Yuechen must keep the baby in Xiao Tao's womb, and she can't let people calculate it easily......
Mother Wu nodded in response: "What Miss said is very true. It's just that you're pregnant now, so it's not appropriate for you to work, so let me do it. ”
At home and abroad, there are so many things, even if she has three heads and six arms, she can't manage them all.
Shen Yuechen asked softly, "Then what are you going to do, Mom?" ”
Mother Wu sighed slightly: "The affairs and people in the second room, it is inconvenient for Miss to interfere, I think it is best to add more people to the side of the little peach girl, more people, more pairs of eyes, more pairs of ears, and speak and act more thoughtfully." ”
Shen Yuechen nodded slightly: "This is good, but we don't have a suitable candidate at the moment?" ”
Although there are many people in the courtyard, it is not easy to pick out one that can be trusted and worthy of cultivation.
Wu's mother thought for a while and said, "Too smart has a lot of eyes and eyes, and it's best to be an honest child." There is a cook surnamed Cui in the kitchen, and there is a little girl under her knees, whose name is Xiang'er. Cui Chuniang's husband died the year before last, and only the two of them were left in the family to rely on each other. Chef Cui is honest, diligent, and doesn't like to talk. I have seen her Xiang'er a few times before, but I feel that the child is the same as her mother's temperament, they are quiet, but they are quite clever, and they can see the height of their eyebrows. As soon as Chef Cui wanted her daughter to find something to do in the house, I thought that I would bring the child in first and get along with her. If she is really sensible, she can make arrangements in the future. As for the second room, I turned around and went over in person. ”
Although the pastry can convey a message, it is not clear enough after all.
This matter is not trivial, Chun Ming and Cuixin both went out of the house with Brother Ming. She can't trust others, so it's safest to run it herself.
When Shen Yuechen heard this, she nodded with a reassuring expression. "In that case, I'll leave this matter to my mother, but I'll make you more tired."
Mother Wu shook her head with a smile and said, "As long as I can share the worries of Miss." ”
She can't do anything big, she can only do something small for Miss, after all, she can share a little more.
……
Because of the festival, all the courtyards are busy and very lively.
After the masters had dispersed, the subordinates began to enjoy themselves.
Although they can't eat and drink, the exquisite food left by the masters is enough for them to enjoy slowly.
After the cuckoo waited for Chai's nap, he walked all the way to the backyard. There, the maids and maids had already prepared fragrant meals, and they were waiting for her alone.
The cuckoo was late, walked into the courtyard quickly with his skirt, and grinned at everyone: "I've made everyone wait for a long time, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
The cuckoo is now very popular with the second lady, so it is also very decent among the subordinates.
As soon as the cuckoo sat down, he raised his eyes and swept around the crowd, only to see that except for those who stayed in the house and waited, almost everyone came, but Xiao Tao was the only one missing.
Everyone lives in the same courtyard, although it is separated by a two-story arch moon gate, but it is not far away.
The cuckoo's eyes flashed slightly, and he deliberately asked, "Everyone eats and has fun today, why don't you see the little peach girl?" ”
Those maids who were about to pick up chopsticks and vegetables, hearing her words, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then looked at each other, not knowing what to answer.
At the beginning, the cuckoo was jealous for the little peach girl, and he committed an accident, but he was disgusted and disgusted by the second young master, which is something that everyone knows.
Miss Xiao Tao is the most favored person next to the second young master at the moment, and Du Juan is being squeezed out of Chai's side, thinking about it, she must be very ruthless to Xiao Tao in her heart, and she wants to take revenge on her. How would you be willing to eat at the same table with her? Today's good times, if the little peach girl really came, wouldn't she deliberately ruin her fun?
One of the bold mother-in-laws immediately replied: "Girl, that little peach girl has never liked to deal with us, so she didn't come." ”
As soon as her words fell, someone next to her took over the conversation and said with bad intentions: "The girl is very delicate, how can she be willing to eat and drink with us vulgar people." ”
A sneer appeared on Du Juan's face, and he said in his heart, where is she unwilling to come, she is afraid to come.
She slowly stood up and said, "In such a good day, how can there be no little peach sister?" She's being favored now, and some shelves should be, so I'll go over and ask her for it myself. All of you use it slowly, and I'll go back when I go. ”
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and they were faintly uneasy.
Before Du Juan went out, he heard someone behind him dissuade him: "Sister Du Juan, you have to take a break, let me go on your behalf." ”
Du Juan turned around and said with a smile: "No need, I still invite it in person, so that people will feel that they have face." ”
The cuckoo slowly came to the side courtyard, she hadn't stepped into the courtyard gate for a while. Since she followed Chai, she has rarely had the opportunity to come here.
Last time, she silently followed Zhu Nylon back, but before she could enter the door, she was frightened by Zhu Nylon who suddenly turned around.
His eyes were sharp, his expression was cold, and he stared at him a few times, but he didn't say a word, just waved his hand impatiently, and motioned for her to go away.
The cuckoo didn't want to make him angry, so he could only walk back in dismay, all the way back to his room with his head down, as if he had been provoked by fire, and his heart ached.
The second young master is her master and the only man in her life. She wants to return to him, even if she can't be an aunt, even if she is a slave and a maid all her life, as long as she can look at him every day, she will be content.
It's a pity that the second young master didn't give her a chance to make up for it, and the second lady Chai was pregnant with Liujia, and she either ate or slept all day long, always looking tired and sleepy, and she didn't have the heart to understand her little thing.
Du Juan didn't want to wait any longer, she wanted to go back to the second young master immediately, no matter what method she used, she had to go back.
Now, Xiao Tao follows Zhu Jinlun's side every day, eats and sleeps with him, and her own room is almost like a furnishing, although someone takes care of it every day, but it is actually always empty.
At this time, the maids and ladies in the courtyard all went to eat and have fun, but Xia Jiu was the only one who accompanied Xiao Tao, accompanied her to talk, and relieved her boredom.
Although Xia Jiu is young, he also likes to join in the fun.
Xiao Tao saw that she seemed to be looking out of the window a little bored, so she said, "If you want to go to the backyard, then go, you don't have to stay." ”
Xia Jiu thought that she was hiding well, but she didn't expect to be seen by her, so she shook her head and said: "The slave didn't want to go, the slave and the maid are willing to talk to the girl, those mothers-in-law are all rough people, and they just chew the root of their tongues when they get together, and there is nothing good to say." ”
Xiao Tao glanced at her with a smile and asked deliberately, "Then what I said is good?" ”
Xia Jiu smiled and nodded: "Girl, naturally much stronger than them." The girl speaks softly, can read and write, and can play the piano, all of which are good. ”
Xiao Tao was coaxed by her to be happy, but smiled and lowered her head: "I thought you were an honest child, but I didn't expect you to be so flamboyant." ”
When Xia Jiu heard this, his face was slightly red, and he was about to speak, but he saw a person slowly walking outside, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Girl, Miss Cuckoo has entered the courtyard......
Xiao Tao's face changed slightly, and she raised her eyes to look, and before she could see the figure of the cuckoo, she heard her voice. "Is Little Peach Girl there?"
Although Xia Jiu now follows Xiao Tao without worrying about food and clothing, he is still as timid as ever, especially when he sees the cuckoo, his heart is still sudden, he feels weak and scared......
Before, she lied in front of the second lady, echoed the little peach girl, and put the cuckoo together, making her lose her position in front of the second young master.
According to the character of the cuckoo, he will never give up, and he will definitely get it back.
However, because of that incident, she was called over by Chai's family, and she couldn't touch Xiao Tao's close body, so she couldn't do anything.
At this time, seeing her suddenly appear, Xia Jiu was the first to panic, she hurriedly ran to Xiao Tao's side, and said anxiously: "Miss, what should we do?" ”
There would be no one in the courtyard, and it wouldn't be too dangerous if the cuckoo got angry and did something foolish.
Xiao Tao's eyes were heavy: "Don't panic, let's see what she wants to do first." ”
The cuckoo slowly walked into the courtyard, looking at every grass and tree here, and felt nostalgic.
Just as she was about to turn around and go to the side room, Xia Jiu suddenly opened the door of the main room, looked at her with a slightly worried expression and said, "Sister Du Juan, you are here." Our girl, please come in and speak. ”
Du Juan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Xiao Tao would be in Zhu Jinlun's room.
An uncomfortable smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Really?" I'm getting ready to go to the wing. ”
Xia originally wanted to stop her with her eyebrows raised, but her momentum was insufficient, and Xiao Tao also told her not to panic, everything was as usual, and it was better to be comfortable.
As soon as Du Juan walked into the second young master's room, he saw Xiao Tao sitting on Zhu Jinlun's favorite Huanghuali chair, his expression was as calm as water, and he didn't see any timidity at all, and his bright eyes didn't see the meekness and humility of the past.
The cuckoo's heart tightened, and he felt that he could even see a little pride on her face.
Yes, the second young master's love for her can indeed make her arrogant and proud.
Xiao Tao stared at the cuckoo tightly, secretly watching out for her every move.
The heart of defense is indispensable. She wasn't sure if she was pregnant. However, she had not had menstruation for two months, and she was always sleepy and tired...... When she was a child, she looked like this when she watched her mother pregnant with her younger brother. Therefore, she must protect herself, protect her body, and not tolerate any mistakes.
If the cuckoo knew that she might be pregnant, she would definitely be furious, and probably would want to rush up directly and choke her neck.
Xiao Tao and Cuckoo looked at each other for a long time, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first.
Xiao Tao couldn't help but open her mouth first: "Sister Cuckoo, how can this come over?" After speaking, she pointed to the chair on the side and said lightly, "Sister, please sit down." ”
The cuckoo smiled when she heard this, and saw that she really regarded herself as a hostess.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Sister Peach's complexion has improved a lot, ruddy and lovely, presumably, this day must be very moist."
Xiao Tao didn't have a smile on her face, and still said lightly: "Thanks to the care and mercy of the second lady and the second young master, I am indeed doing well." And what about my sister? How are you doing on an errand by the side of the second lady? ”
The cuckoo sneered again: "Of course." However, this is all thanks to Sister Peach. ”
Xiao Tao lowered her eyes slightly, and only said, "My sister came here on purpose, not just to talk to me." ”
Du Juan said: "The backyard has set up a meal, and everyone is preparing to get together to have a good time, but my sister is missing." When she said this, she paused deliberately, "Everyone serves the master in a courtyard, and they are usually commensurate with sisters. ”
Xiao Tao sighed slightly: "Thank you sister for your kindness, but I have a bad appetite recently, and I went to the place where I didn't eat or drink, but I swept everyone's interest." ”
The cuckoo stared at her face, and said in a slightly cold tone: "My sister is not prevaricating me by saying this." ”
Xia Jiu said at the right time: "Sister Du Juan, our girl has indeed been a little discordant recently, so please go back." ”
In the past two days, the girl's appetite has not been very good, as if she is a little bitter summer.
When the cuckoo heard this, instead of preparing to leave, he sat down directly, looked at Xiao Tao, and pretended to be concerned: "My sister is sick?" Then you have to quickly invite a doctor to come in and take a look, so as not to delay it, there is a three-long and two-short, which will make the second master worried. ”
It was as if he were cursing people.
Xiao Tao's fingertips trembled slightly when she heard this, she secretly took a deep breath, and said calmly: "It's just a small problem, and you don't need to ask a doctor so much trouble." ”
There is still some news from the grandmother's side, so she is not ready to act rashly for a while. If she is really pregnant, the doctor will see it at a glance...... However, before the second young master knew, she didn't want anyone to know about it first.
The cuckoo knew that she wouldn't go, but he just wanted to come over and meet her to see how beautiful she was now, or how arrogant she was.
Xiao Tao's calm and cold attitude makes people unable to find faults, and Du Juan also has a lot of scruples in his heart, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, but just stands up and says: "Forget it, my sister doesn't want to go, and I'm not good at being strong." ”
Xia Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she seemed to be leaving.
Who knows, the cuckoo stood up, not to the door, but straight to her and Xiao Tao, with a smile on her face, which made people a little scared.
Xia Jiu trembled slightly, subconsciously blocked in front of Xiao Tao, and said in a trembling voice to the cuckoo: "What are you going to do?" If you dare to mess around again, the second young master will definitely not spare your ......"
The cuckoo glanced at Xia Jiu, stretched out his hand to push her aside, and said coldly: "The little slut who fights the human power." Do you think I'm really afraid of you? ”
The cuckoo slowly leaned down, staring at Xiao Tao's slightly tense face, and the corners of his mouth were raised: "Last time, I was careless and mistook your fox for a rabbit, and I won't be so stupid in the future." Don't think that the second young master spoils you, you can rest easy, be careful, I will come back one day, and there will be a way to clean up your little slut when the time comes. ”
"Then I'll tell my sister the truth, I don't like to calculate others, but if someone has to get along with me, I won't give up. If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend, but if anyone offends me, I will offend. If you dare to provoke me again, I promise you won't end well! Xiao Tao clenched her fists and replied to her not to be outdone.
When the cuckoo heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Xiao Tao's face and suddenly laughed again: "Look at you, little slut, you still threaten people." That's who you are, isn't it? usually pretends to be Chu Chu and cute, docile and well-behaved, and they are all bluffing. ”
Xiao Tao turned her head, not liking her breath on her face, and only said, "You and I are the same." I think, the second young master must have never seen you like this, right? ”
At this time, Xia Jiu slowed down, and suddenly raised his voice: "If you don't leave, I will call someone." ”
Cuckoo glared at her coldly, "You can shout if you want." Idiot. ”
Xia Jiu was choked by her words, and suddenly lost her momentum, she opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't shout.
The cuckoo turned around with a smile, and as he walked towards the door, he mocked: "This stupid girl can help you once, but she can't help you every time." So good sister, we'll have a meeting later. ”
