Chapter 112: Sleepless Night
Mrs. Tian heard that the two daughters were back, so she ordered the kitchen to add vegetables, and wanted to wait for the two daughters to eat together, but as a result, the two daughters changed their clothes and came over, but she looked strange, although the eldest daughter was cowardly in the past, she could still talk a few words with her mother, and the second daughter was even more of a honey on her mouth.
She was worried, so she pulled her two daughters and asked, "He'er, Qian'er, when you go out today, do you encounter something, why do you seem to have no soul?" ”
The two sisters have ghosts in their hearts, so they naturally refused to let their mother know, so they all folded their spirits, coaxing their mother to say that there were jugglers on the street, and there were novelty jewelry in the shop.
After sending off the two daughters, Mrs. Tian immediately called Leng Xiang in and asked, "Two young ladies, did you meet a disciple when you went out today?" ”
Leng Xiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook her head, "No, madam, the ladies are only strolling around the shop and not walking around the street, how can they meet Dengzi?" ”
Mrs. Tian raised her eyebrows, thinking carefully about the looks of the two daughters, it was indeed not like she was frightened, but as if she had added something to her heart, so she asked again, "What did the two young ladies see, what kind of person did they see, why did they all look depressed?" ”
Leng Xiang's forehead was sweating when she was forced to ask, and she wanted to tell her wife, but she really didn't want to risk being separated from her lover, so she was in a hurry, so she said, "The two young ladies are picking out jewelry in the shop, and they haven't met anyone else when they talk about getting married." ”
Mrs. Tian listened, sighed lightly, waved her hand to let Leng Xiang go down, speaking of which, she is a mother, in her daughter's heart, I am afraid that she is the least person who loves them, the eldest daughter does not want to marry a businessman, but she refuses to make the decision to give her a retreat, the second daughter likes the second young man of the Chu family, and she also prevents her from seeing each other. However, who knew that she did it for the good of her two daughters?
This night Mrs. Tian had insomnia, and the two daughters of the Tian family also tossed and turned, Tian He stared blankly at the top of the bed tent, reciting that sentence over and over again in his heart, and suddenly looked back, but the person was in the dim light. She finally found that person, but that person is already someone's husband, and in a few months, she will also be someone else's wife. A tear spilled out of her eyes, seeped into the pillow and disappeared...
Tian He was holding a round pillow in her hand, beating anxiously, she knew in her heart that putting aphrodisiacs in her diet was too inferior, once it was known by Brother Chu or her family, it would definitely cause an uproar, but the temptation to become a biological child with Brother Chu was too great, and she hesitated for a while...
In Yunjia Village, Rui Xue cleaned up the house early, washed his feet with Zhao Fengnian, and the two gathered head to head in front of the kang table to sort out the accounts, Zhao Fengnian took the layout of the new yard out, Rui Xue saw that the current yard was changed to a workshop, and she was reluctant to let go of the laurel tree, so she complained, "Otherwise, the front yard will be lived, and the backyard will be used as a workshop." ”
Zhao Fengnian stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwest corner of the backyard, and said with a smile, "Remember to remind me to move the laurel tree in the front yard." ”
Rui Xue immediately smiled and changed her words, "The backyard is well inhabited, clean and spacious." ”
The corners of Zhao Fengnian's mouth curled slightly, and when he remembered the matter of the day, he asked, "Why are you so polite to the two daughters of the Tian family?" Although Mr. Tian saved my life, we only owe him affection, but we don't have to deliberately accommodate his daughter. ”
Rui Xue knew that he was still annoyed by Tian Qian'er scolding her, and her heart was sweet, so she suddenly leaned forward and kissed his white cheek.
Zhao Fengnian's whole face turned red, and it looked more and more ruddy under the candlelight, Rui Xue looked funny, and wanted to kiss again, but Zhao Fengnian had already avoided it, and threw down a sentence in a panic, "It's too late, go to sleep." Then he took off his padded jacket and got under the covers, leaving only the back of his head exposed.
Rui Xue's heart suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, and the embarrassment mixed with disappointment and doubt, which made her nose sour, was this disgusted?
Zhao Fengnian hid quietly in the quilt, listening to the sound of Ruixue dragging the futon, the sound of blowing the lamp, the sound of taking off the padded jacket, and even the low sigh, all of them seemed to hit his heart, and his originally excited body instantly cooled down.
He must have broken her heart like that just now. However, how can he tell her that he can't do things like men and women for the time being, because if he has a child, the cold poison will be absorbed into the womb...
Ruixue waited and waited, but she didn't hear any movement from Zhao Fengnian, so she got up and pulled the futon to the end of the kang, hugging her body and shrinking into a ball.
The dock in the afternoon was quiet, the laborers ate, some leaned against the wall to take a nap, some drank tea and whispered gossip, Ruixue and Zhang's sister-in-law washed the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the pot stove, and sat by the pot to rest.
Sister-in-law Zhang went back last night and ran into Aunt Yun, and heard that the Tian family sisters were visiting, so she asked, "Sister, did you really give the recipe for that soup dumpling to Miss Tian?" ”
"Hmm." Rui Xue answered absentmindedly.
"Then if she reveals it to others, the business of our shop..."
Rui Xue lazily knelt on the table, "It's okay, the soup dumplings are troublesome to sit up, the cost is high, and it is not suitable for selling at the dock, even if she is exposed, it will not affect our business, so I should repay the old man of the Tian family for saving his life." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, "What my sister said makes sense, at this dock, it is best to sell big meat buns, and in the future, three pots of big buns will be steamed every day, and more people will buy them these days." ”
"Sister-in-law is going to be tired."
"Business is good, and I'm willing to die of exhaustion." Sister-in-law Zhang laughed, with a hint of pride in her voice, she and Zhang Dahe made nearly three taels of silver a month, which made her completely straighten her waist in her in-law's house, and the two concubines couldn't wait to treat her as a Buddha, just hoping that she could carry them and get an errand, but how did they know, Rui Xue looked soft-hearted and easy to speak, in fact, she was the most assertive, and it was impossible for her to intercede with two lazy concubines, so she never responded.
The two were talking, and the white fat guy came to the door again yesterday, still smiling and saluting, but this time there was no letter delivered, only a message, "Boss, our son wants me to ask, is the matter done?" ”
Rui Xue raised her eyebrows and smiled, the brilliance in her eyes flickered inexplicably, "Naturally, it's done, tell your son, three days later, invite him to Tianfu as a guest, and be patient until the end." ”
Wangcai repeated, seeing Rui Xue nodding, he immediately said goodbye and left, and glanced in the shop a few times before leaving, but did not see the big white bun, and his little face was full of disappointment, which made Rui Xue smile more cheerfully.
Sister-in-law Zhang was curious, and glad that Rui Xue finally saw a smile, so she asked what was the matter, Rui Xue shook her head mysteriously, "Naturally, it's an interesting thing, but I can't say it yet." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang laughed, "Then you must tell your sister-in-law about the results." ”
"Okay."
The bolt and the stone hugged the pen and ink and the abacus out, the bolt looked proud, he finally won the junior brother once, heard that the little guy came again yesterday, so he called the stone to chase, but was stopped by Ruixue, and drove them to the dock to see if there were any ships docking, the stone was working in the end, understood what the master meant, and pulled the puzzled senior brother out together.
Chu Gehuan sat in a teahouse on the street, drinking tea, while leisurely looking at the passers-by walking downstairs, the faintly warm February spring breeze blew into the house, provoking the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, swaying gently.
Wang Caile ran upstairs, bowed down and opened the door, and said Ruixue's words as they were, Chu Gehuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Oh, did she really say that?" ”
Wangcai nodded vigorously, "That's what the boss lady said, and I want the son to be patient." ”
Chu Gehuan remembered that woman's indifferent appearance, she really didn't look like a person who liked to lie, could it really take her only one day to convince the delicate Miss Tian Er? Then he must go and see how it goes?
"Then go to Tianfu and tell the third son, and say that I got a good object, and I will go to the mansion to find him to play with him in three days."
"Yes, Childe." Wangcai immediately responded, rolled his eyes and said, "The little one hasn't talked to Xiao Dongzi for a long time, he is very familiar with the maid in the second lady's yard..."
"Clever!" Chu Gehuan had to unfold the folding fan and praised, "Go to the account room to get ten taels of silver, and buy some food for Xiao Dongzi!" ”
"Xie Gongzi reward!" Wangcai was so happy that his eyes were bent, he kowtowed and thanked him, and ran away quickly.
Sure enough, he and Xiao Dongzi were eating dim sum and roast chicken, and after gossiping for an hour, before the third prince sent someone to the second lady, Xin'er had already run back to report the news, and the surprised and flustered Miss Re casually rewarded her with a silver hairpin, which made all the little maids envious.
But at this time, the cold fragrance of the main courtyard was taking a note full of bitterness, hesitating for a long time, or stomping his feet, grabbed an embroidered booklet and went to the courtyard of the eldest young master.
Soon the two met in the rockery cave where they often had a tryst, and Fusheng smiled and took the cold incense, "Didn't you just see it the day before yesterday, why did you find it again?" ”
Leng Xiang felt uneasy, stretched out her hand to push him, and said, "I have something to look for you." ”
Fusheng finally noticed that her face was wrong, so he asked, "But who bullied you?" ”
"I'm by Madame's side, who dares to bully me?" Leng Xiang blushed when she remembered that thing, "If you follow the eldest young master to Hualou again in the next few days, help me buy something and come back." ”
"Hualou? What to buy? ”
Leng Xiang whispered a few words in Fusheng's ear, Fusheng grabbed her and said playfully, "How do you know those things?" I can't use it, and I will become a relative in the future, and I will keep you..."
