Chapter Twenty-Six: Counting is Counting

As soon as the steward left, two more mothers-in-law came to the courtyard, knowing that Noah was having dinner, and waited in the courtyard in a regular manner, not daring to squeak and disturb.

Noah was not in a hurry, and finished eating slowly, before rinsing his mouth with his hands and beckoning the two of them in.

It turned out that the two of them were the mother-in-law who was in charge of the daily use of the house, and they came to tailor the clothes for Noya to see if there were any things that needed to be added.

Noya felt that it didn't matter, and she was afraid that Ji Pozi would be greedy, so she handed over the errand to Kikyo and asked her to add one or two appropriately, so she didn't have to be too shabby.

Of course, the bellflower is unceremonious, holding the chicken feather as an arrow, as long as the two mothers-in-law are pleased, and propose to replace or add, they will not refuse, even if there is a broken bluestone slab at the door of the house, I am also worried that Noya will stumble in and out, and told the mother-in-law to find someone to repair it. Then they were summarized and reported to Noah to know, and one or two were slightly deleted.

Soon after the two mothers-in-law left, some people came in and out like lanterns, and many things in the house were renewed, and even the lamps and candles were much brighter, and the fragrance was lingering.

Noah stood at the door, coldly watching Kikyo triumphantly pointing out those subordinates who were greeting, only to say that the world was hot and cold, and she felt a little emotion in her heart.

Mrs. Ji approached twice, and the meaning of her words was to ask Noya to give a few rewards to the errand runners, but Noya disdained it, and just pretended not to understand, and the mother-in-law was just fine.

Noah was in the hall of thoughts, her ears and eyes were closed, and she was deaf to what was happening in the house. However, from the attitude of the subordinates towards herself, she sensitively guessed the old lady's attitude towards her pregnancy.

According to common sense, the child made up by Baili Jiu will never be kept. Now that these subordinates who see the wind and rudder are so flattering to themselves, can it prove that the old lady has given permission to the existence of this "child"?

This imaginary child is the eldest son of Baili Mansion, and Baili Jiu loves him in front of outsiders, and has long threatened that as long as he likes it, even if he is a man, he will marry into the General's Mansion as a proper wife.

Male and female gender are not picked, so what is the birth? Lin Nuoya has undoubtedly become the candidate with the most potential to become the heroine in the future, can the next person not work hard to meet her?

How could Qin and An tolerate that they would have a place in the General's Mansion in the future and pose a threat to their status? I don't know how big the storm will be.

Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, the door was ringing and dingling, and a group of people came with gilded lanterns, and Nuoya carefully identified that behind the girl was An Ruoxi and Mrs. Liu in front of her.

The courtyard was bright, An Ruoxi had already seen Nuoya standing at the door, and nodded with a smile: "Sister Lin." ”

called extraordinarily intimately, like sisters who hadn't seen each other for many years.

There were a lot of people yesterday, and I didn't take a closer look at An Ruoxi's appearance. Look at her in today's light, with pink face and peach cheeks, apricot eyes and Yao nose, cherry mouth and bright teeth, standard beauty appearance, and good bearing. But beauty is beautiful, and some people seem to be unable to remember the outline of their facial features when they turn around, and they lack aura.

What did she come to do? Deign to see a concubine, not afraid of degrading the status? Noah was too lazy to perfunctory with her, and it was too late to turn around, so she had to smile politely: "Mrs. An." ”

An Ruoxi didn't care about her arrogance and rudeness, and motioned to her mother-in-law to hand over the gift in her hand to Chao San and Dusk on the side, before she stepped forward and grabbed Lin Nuoya's hand.

"I heard that my sister was sick today and fainted, and I was restless like a rat's claw. The mother-in-law came over twice, and they both said that you were still resting, so you didn't dare to disturb. Reckless to visit at night, I hope my sister is not strange. ”

Lin Nuoya laughed unnaturally, secretly admiring An Ruoxi in her heart, how could she say such a sensual thing with peace of mind?

"It's just that he is drunk with a greedy cup, and the ninth master made a fuss that made the whole house jump."

An Ruoxi covered her mouth, and did not smile: "Sister Lin's alcohol consumption does not let her eyebrows, Ruoxi really admires it." Do you know that after Qin darling returned home from Hongbin Building, he was drunk and unconscious. I just woke up in the evening, and I heard that the strength of the wine had not subsided, and I broke pots and bowls in the house, and I talked nonsense about wine. ”

Noya could hear the overtones, after Qin Darling woke up, if she heard the news that she was "pregnant", would she not be so angry that she would smoke?

Dare to be affectionate, this is a special trip to sow discord?

Noah did not answer, but watched intently as a servant woman clumsily stepped on a ladder and hung a glass lamp on a branch, and the ladder swayed, and she screamed in fright.

An Ruoxi felt a little embarrassed herself, and hurriedly changed the topic: "These subordinates don't understand the rules, so don't they disturb my sister's rest." ”

As the saying goes, "Reach out and don't hit the smiling person", Noya is not good at snubbing An Ruoxi all the time, and she doesn't want to speak according to her wishes, so as not to fall into her trap.

This woman has too many flowers, in the zodiac, she is a monster, tiger head and snake tail, that is to say, smiling tiger, poisonous snake tail, like to smile on the surface, stab a knife in the back.

Lin Nuoya said coldly: "It's like listening to the big drama at the door, it's lively." ”

The corners of An Ruoxi's mouth couldn't help twitching, and she smiled a little reluctantly: "It's windy outside, sister, hurry up and go into the house, don't catch a cold." ”

Lin Nuoya was about to use an excuse to send off the guest, so she nodded unceremoniously and turned around: "Then I will be out of company." ”

An Ruoxi just pretended not to hear it, warmly greeted the mother-in-law behind her, stepped forward to support Nuoya, and gave herself a reason to enter the house.

Noya remembered that the mother-in-law knew some medical skills, and on the first day she entered the house, An Ruoxi proposed to let her give her a pulse to explore the roots. Today, when I heard that I was pregnant, I couldn't hold my breath, so I came to test the truth.

Noah also did not refuse to prevaricate, otherwise she would not die, and she would definitely look for various opportunities to test when she turned back, and it was better to break her thoughts once.

There was a bluestone slab at the door that needed to be repaired, and the servant had already pried it open, and Kikyo repeatedly told Noah to take a detour. She put her hand in the palm of her mother-in-law's hand, and deliberately took her past her, but she couldn't see it at all in the heavy lights.

The mother-in-law's fingers seemed to inadvertently catch her pulse, put all her attention on the tips of her fingers, concentrated, and didn't pay attention to her feet at all, and stumbled forward a big step by accident.

Noya took the opportunity to press more than half of her body up, intending to "die together" and take the opportunity to give her mother-in-law a color. Unexpectedly, the woman was extremely stable, and she stood firmly and supported her body.

Noah quickly let go of her hand and patted her heart exaggeratedly: "I'm scared to death." ”

An Ruoxi only thought that her mother-in-law was careless, tripped and stumbled, and reprimanded sharply: "Clumsy!" Thanks to the danger, otherwise how can I explain to the ninth master? ”

The mother-in-law knew that she must have accidentally fallen into the Tao, but she was a dumb person who ate the yellow lotus, so she could only make amends.

Noah waved her hand generously, and went straight into the room to sit down at the table.

An Ruoxi came uninvited, entered the house and glanced around, and said affectionately: "If my sister has any inconvenience in the house, or needs anything to eat and wear, just tell my sister, don't be polite, my sister should do her best." ”

Noah was also polite and nodded in response.

"That's my sister's potion? If you don't eat it, it's cold. An Ruoxi continued to be speechless.

Noah remembered that just now Kikyo brought her medicine, and she didn't want to waste her words and tongue to explain, so she let her leave it on the bedside for the time being, trying to find a chance to pour it out. Later, when I was busy, I forgot about it.

The woman immediately understood, and stepped forward to pick up the medicine bowl: "I'll go and give it hot." ”

Noya didn't know what kind of medicine was prescribed for the ten doses of soup, whether there was anything in it, and he had the intention to stop it, but when he thought about it, why did he have to help cover it up? The woman wanted to investigate, so she let her go, and there were hundreds of miles and nine burdens on the left and right. simply said generously: "It's okay, I'm tired." ”

The mother-in-law held the medicine bowl, and as soon as she turned around and went out, the bellflower greeted her and politely took the medicine bowl: "These trivial things will be done by the slave and maid, and I dare not trouble you." ”

Noya didn't stop it, but the mother-in-law lost her suspicions, and she was not stubborn, so she turned around and came back stupidly.

Noah was upset, very annoyed. This Qin darling hates it, it is a real battle, and it is neat. This An Ruoxi is all playing yin, extremely disgusting, and sticking like kraft candy.

On the round table in front of her was a stack of golden tangerines, all of which were slightly green fruits deliberately selected by the subordinates, originally to please herself.

An Ruoxi sat down, her eyes darkened, and she was a little jealous, but she forced a smile: "These subordinates are also attentive, and they know that green oranges are the most sweet and sour appetizing." ”

Noah was extremely surprised: "I thought it was someone else who picked the remaining green fruits, so it was my turn." I didn't expect Mrs. An to like it, so you eat more. ”

After speaking, I picked one casually, peeled it without saying anything, and stuffed it into her hand.

An Ruoxi was so enthusiastic that she picked a petal and stuffed it into her mouth, and immediately squinted sourly. Noah stuffed the oranges to her one after another, and persuaded her.

An Ruoxi was so astringent that she couldn't resist it anymore, and stood up with a "pout": "I suddenly remembered that there was something going on in my yard, since my sister is fine, I will rest assured, go back first, and come back another day." ”

Noya stood up slowly and greeted the girl outside the door: "Come in and pack this plate of oranges and send it to Mrs. An." ”

An Ruoxi waved her hand again and again, and walked out as if she was running away: "No need, no need, my sister will keep it for herself." ”

"Come and don't be rude, Mrs. An brought me such a big gift, how can I let you go back empty-handed? Etiquette is light and affectionate, don't dislike it. ”

Came in at dusk, picked up all the oranges on the table and put them in the basket, the mother-in-law reached out to take it, An Ruoxi hurriedly said goodbye, and left Yiniantang, only then did he curse in a low voice: "Pampered and arrogant, I don't know how to lift, see how long can you be proud?!" ”

The mother-in-law behind him sneered and sneered: "If it's really a dime, no wonder the people in the house are talking about it in private, how many times they ran errands to Yiniantang, and they didn't get a penny of reward." is just a girl who is not sophisticated and childish, but she will play some tricks that cannot be put on the table, and the grasshoppers after the autumn will not be beautiful for a few days. ”

An Ruoxi then remembered what was going on, turned around and asked her mother-in-law: "What you did just now, is there a result?" ”

The mother-in-law nodded: "Miss, don't worry, it's done." She thought I was trying to take her pulse, and she was clever enough to trip me, but I happened to take advantage of the moment she leaned over, and secretly did something to do it, without knowing it. This is called counting what is calculated.

Moreover, although I couldn't touch her pulse, I felt it up close, her breath was disordered, she didn't know how to breathe, and she wasn't a martial arts practitioner. Also, that bowl of soup and medicine does smell like a recipe for protecting the fetus. ”

An Ruoxi pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Could it be that my guess is wrong?" Is she really just a cook in Linlang Pavilion? In that case, we won't have any fear of getting rid of her. ”
