Chapter 222: Expectation
There was no stove in the water pavilion, and a gust of wind blew down the snow on the top of the water pavilion, and although the two of them were wrapped in thick cloaks, they couldn't help but shiver a little.
Shangguan Xi raised her eyes and looked at Liang Yan, and saw that her complexion was much better than the last time she saw her in the palace, but she was still worried: "It's cold here, Sister still go to the house and sit down, right?" ”
Liang Yan nodded, "Let's go, I have something to tell you!" ”
Shangguan Xi took her hand and walked out of the water pavilion with her.
The two went back to Shangguan Xi's boudoir together.
There was a charcoal pot in the room, and the two took off their thick fox cloaks and let the servants set hot tea and snacks.
While drinking tea to warm up, rubbing hands and talking.
"When I come, tell me what is the matter? I heard you haven't been able to eat for days? Liang Yan asked with concern.
Shangguan Xi lowered his eyes and shook his head a little ugly, "How can it be so serious, it's just that your appetite is not very good!" Sister don't worry. ”
The more she didn't want to say it, the more Liang Yan couldn't help but worry.
Shangguan Xi is the person who can't hide her words, and what can make it difficult for her to speak must be something in her heart.
She was not in a hurry to ask, but held the hot tea, blew the tea leaves, and drank it in small sips.
The chef of the Shangguan family was invited from the south to make good dim sum.
I don't know what to make of the green refreshments, mixed with the aroma of ghee, as well as the fragrance of tea leaves, sweet and slightly bitter with a long aftertaste, which makes people unforgettable.
While eating refreshments, she looked at Shangguan Xi and was not in a hurry to speak.
Shangguan Xi looked at the thick Persian carpet on the ground and was stunned, and sighed from time to time.
Liang Yan ate half a plate of refreshments before she raised her head and looked at Liang Yan, "Sister, if Aye doesn't like me in the future, what should I do?" ”
Liang Yan was stunned, "Why do you think so?" Don't you feel your father's concern for you? ”
Shangguan Xi shook his head, "Now he naturally cares about me, what about later?" ”
When Liang Yan heard this, she lowered her eyes and thought about it, and asked in a low voice, "Is Wang pregnant?" ”
Shangguan Xi immediately glared at Liang Yan, "How does Sister know?" ”
Liang Yan smiled, "You can't swallow like this, and you ask these inexplicable questions, you almost write your mind on your face, can I still guess?" ”
Shangguan Xi frowned and leaned on top of it, "Hmm, yes, I just found it, and I said that it has been more than a month." I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, whether it's a man or a woman, it's always going to rob me of Aya......"
Liang Yan put down the refreshments, pushed the tea bowl farther away, took the handkerchief and wiped her fingers clean, looked at Shangguan Xi with a serious face and said, "Ah Xi, when Aya wanted to accept me as a righteous daughter, did you object?" ”
Shangguan Xi sat up straight when he heard this, shook his head again and again, and said, "Naturally not, why should I object?" It's just a pity that I can't call you Master! ”
"Didn't your Aya give me some care? Why don't you object? Liang Yan asked.
Shangguan Xi frowned and looked at Liang Yan, "How can this be the same......"
Liang Yan looked at her with a smile, "What's different, because I'm not my father's own daughter, so it's different?" ”
Shangguan Xi shook his head, "No, sister, I didn't mean that, yes...... How so? I just think it's different...... Uh, Sister is good to me, just like Aya is good to me! I can tell Sister Ah whatever I have to say, and besides, we get along emotionally! I like Sister! I wish Sister could be closer to me! How can it be the same as Wang's children......"
In the last sentence, she said it very quietly.
Liang Yan nodded, "In this way, as long as the Wang family's children are good to you and make you like the Wang family's children, don't you have to be afraid of him fighting with you?" ”
Shangguan Xi blinked when she heard this, "What do you mean, Sister?" ”
Liang Yan smiled, "The meaning is very simple, don't you just like the children of the Wang family first?" ”
Shangguan Xi pursed his mouth, "How is that possible?" ”
Liang Yan took her hand and said in a low voice: "Wang's children are also the children of their stepfather, and they are connected to you by blood, don't have a grudge against her because you don't like the Wang family occupying your mother's former position, and you don't even like your father's children!" If your father-in-law knew your thoughts, would he be happy, you say? The Wang family is not wrong, and the Wang family's children are not wrong, if the Wang family is good to you, then you, as the eldest sister, should be even better to the Wang family's children. If the Wang family alienates you, then you, as the daughter of your stepfather, should also accept your father's other children with a peaceful heart. What's more, the person you want to marry is the little Langjun of the Wang family, and you and the Wang family are already close to each other. You don't have any interests or disagreements at all, you should have a good relationship. ”
Shangguan Xi bit his lower lip when he heard this, and nodded slowly, "Hmm...... Sister, you're right, I'm ...... But I'll have to get used to it for a while. ”
Liang Yan nodded, "Isn't it only a little more than a month, and you still have a long time to get used to." During this time, you can imagine that in the next few years, when you are not out of the cabinet, there will be an extra brother or sister to play with you, calling you Sister softly and glutinously, looking at you with great adoration, and there will be fun and delicious things that will be remembered and shared with you...... Isn't it wonderful? ”
Shangguan Xi looked at Liang Yan with wide eyes, "Could this be the case?" He will call me Sister softly...... Will you miss me? ”
Liang Yan nodded heavily, "This is natural!" ”
Shangguan Xi was a little stunned unexpectedly, imagining the feeling of holding the soft little body of his little brother or sister in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel light.
Does this feel really good?
She reached out and threw a piece of tea into her mouth, "Hmm, what Sister said seems to be worth looking forward to?" ”
Liang Yan nodded, "Not once!" It's worth looking forward to! In less than two years, there will be a little tail, followed by you, calling in his mouth, Sister A, Sister A, I want you to hug me. ”
Shangguan Xi bit his lower lip and laughed, and couldn't help but feel that his previous worries were really unfounded.
It doesn't seem so scary to have such a little doll in the house!
When Liang Yan left, Shangguan Xi had already sent her to the second gate with a smile, saw her and Li Xuanyi get into the carriage together, and waved goodbye to her with a smile.
Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Liang Yan in the carriage, so he asked casually, "What's the matter, how can you be happy?" ”
"My father-in-law's family is going to add Ding!" Liang Yan said briskly.
Shangguan Ruixing has no son, thinking that it is a pain in his heart, and now that Wang is pregnant, it is naturally a gratifying thing.
If Shangguan Xi can really accept it happily, it is naturally a gratifying thing.
Li Xuanyi's gaze slid down to Liang Yan's lower abdomen, "King Jing's Mansion is not lively enough, madam, shouldn't some things be hurried up?" ”
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, raised her hand to support her lower abdomen, "Hmm, don't be in a hurry......"
Now that the age of this body is not even the legal age of marriage, why is there a hurry to have a child?
Liang Yan, who returned to King Jing's Mansion, happened to meet Ah Chou, who took the account books of the pharmaceutical factory Renjitang and various branches and medical centers sent by Xu Changgui, and the summary accounts at the end of the year for her to see.
When the pharmaceutical factory was first built, it made a lot of effort, with a large plant area and complete assembly lines, but now it is only one-third of the operation, which is enough to supply the needs of various medical centers in Chang'an City.
Her purpose is not known here, her life ambition is to open Renji Hall all over the territory of the Great Zhou. However, now that the transportation is inconvenient, this vision is still a little difficult, Liang Yan suddenly thought of Shangguan Xi, who is now idle and panicked, and even Shangguan Xi, who has not yet been born and is still in her belly for more than a month, has kung fu and is jealous, and it is time for her to find something to do!
On the day of the New Year, Shangguan Xi came to Jingwang's Mansion to visit Liang Yan with a return gift.
At that time, there was already a lot more smile on her face, and when she saw Ah Chou, she joked that she was going to fight Ah Chou. said that her kung fu was learned from Thirteen.
Ah Chou tried her twice, shook his finger and said, "Miss Shangguan still has a lot of potential, but I'm afraid that your master is not hot enough." ”
Shangguan Xi pouted and said, "I knew that thirteen was not good, and he still bragged to me that he was very powerful!" Why don't you go back and I'll learn kung fu from you, right? ”
Ah Chou looked left and right, "Hey, where is my account book?" Bai Wei, have you seen my account book? Miss Shangguan, wait a minute, I'll go find my account books, and I'll talk to you in detail when I come back! ”
After saying that, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shangguan Xi nodded and said, "Ah Chou's light skills are good, he walks so fast!" ”
Liang Yan covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, whether it's thirteen or ugly, you also have to be able to calm down and practice!" ”
Shangguan Xi stuck out his tongue, reached out and took a persimmon cake coated with frosting and chewed it.
"I've got something to ask you to bother you with!" Liang Yan smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Yo, Sister, you said so politely, it should be a big deal?" Shangguan Xi said with a wink.
Liang Yan nodded, and let Bai Wei and Huoxiang spread out a sketch of the territory of the Great Zhou, which was specially asked by Li Xuanyi to collect Zhou Zhi from all over the world and piece it together.
"The Shangguan family has a long history of controlling waterways, and can be called the overlord of the water. Wouldn't it be a waste to occupy the convenience of waterways if your own family members don't make good use of it? Liang Yan said with a smile.
When Shangguan Xi heard this, she frowned and looked at the canal that Liang Yan pointed out to her, and the lines marked in blue by Hanshui and others.
"Hmm, how does Sister want to use it? Thirteen may be more familiar with them, just say hello to Thirteen. Shangguan Xi scratched his ears and said.
Liang Yan shook her head, looked at her and said, "I'm not going to go once or twice, I'm going to supply it regularly and for a long time, and I plan to hand it over to you to be responsible for this matter!" ”
Shangguan Xi frowned when he heard this, pointed at himself and said, "Leave it to me to be responsible?" What's the matter, sister? ”
