Chapter 090: The Qian Family's Concubine
Phoenix wings, panda crab meat, shrimp roe and winter bamboo shoots, five silk noodles, spiced mandarin fish, hot and sour cucumber, tangerine peel beef...... The dishes are served one by one, and they are full of color, flavor, and flavor, which makes people feel appetizing at a glance.
Xiao Xiwei had just taken the silver chopsticks handed over by Hongyu, and was about to pick up the vegetables, when Aunt Zhou next to her suddenly put down the chopsticks and ran to the side to vomit.
The old lady frowned unhappily, and Xiao Yan was even more angry, "Good and decent, what are you doing?" ”
"I, I ......" Aunt Zhou opened her mouth and just said a few words, and couldn't help but spit out.
Xiao Yan's face became more and more ugly.
"Master, auntie, she didn't mean it. I don't know what's going on lately, my aunt wants to vomit when she smells ......the fish," Aunt Zhou's girl, Zhu'er, hurriedly argued.
Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't consciously raise it, and subconsciously looked at the old lady.
Xiao Yan didn't react yet, but the old lady raised her eyes and glanced at Aunt Zhou up and down, "Layue, go and ask a doctor." A few of you, what are you doing in a daze, don't help Aunt Zhou up. ”
"Mother, what are you ......" Xiao Yan looked at the old lady in confusion.
The old lady glanced at Xiao Yan lightly and did not speak.
The doctor soon invited him over, but found out that Aunt Zhou was pregnant, and it was almost three months old.
This news really surprised and delighted Xiao Yan, and even the old lady had a little joy on her face. Only the third aunt, looking at Aunt Zhou who was surrounded by her, raised her hand to touch her flat lower abdomen, and her jealous eyes were about to drip fire.
Xiao Xi glanced at the third aunt slightly, then walked up to Aunt Zhou and said with a slight smile, and said to Xiao Yanfu, "Congratulations to my father." ”
Xiao Yan's always tense face rarely showed a soft smile, "Your Aunt Zhou is pregnant, in the future, you have to be careful about her diet and clothing." ”
"Yes." Xiao Xi smiled and responded.
Xiao Yan walked up to Aunt Zhou and took her hand and said, "You, why don't you know that you are almost three months pregnant?" ”
Aunt Zhou's face flushed slightly, "The concubine's small life has always been inaccurate, besides, don't others like to eat sour when they are pregnant?" I don't like to eat acid, so I ......"
The corners of Xiao Xi's lips crossed a subtle sneer.
What kind of person is Zhou Shumei, how can she know anything about her three months of pregnancy? It's just that it's just hindering someone from doing tricks, but it's hard to say whether the person she is hindering is the third aunt or her.
"That's it! Don't talk about that, whatever you want to eat, I'll have someone make it for you. Xiao Yan took Aunt Zhou's hand with a pleasant face.
Aunt Zhou lowered her eyes and smiled and didn't answer, but the bead next to her jumped out and said, "Master, last time when my aunt vomited, she said she wanted to eat bird's nest porridge." ”
"Then open the storeroom and take out the good bird's nests and send them to the Tingyu Pavilion." Xiao Yan said.
"No...... No need...... Master, I was hungry when I mentioned bird's nest porridge a few days ago, but I haven't been hungry for the past two days. Pregnant women's tastes change from one to another, so don't be so troublesome. Zhou Shumei said busily.
"Then let's just get a small kitchen in Tingyu Pavilion, so that it will be more convenient for you to eat whatever you want."
"Master, what's going on?"
"Let's do it." Xiao Yan cut off Aunt Zhou's words in one bite.
Xiao Xi looked at the smug look in Aunt Zhou's shy and timid eyes, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly.
One Qian, one Zhou. None of the two aunts in Houfu were fuel-efficient lamps.
Back at Shuyingxuan, Xiao Xiwei immediately asked Zhang Luo to send the best bird's nest in the warehouse to Aunt Zhou, and arranged for someone to make a small kitchen in her Tingyu Pavilion. In this way, almost everyone knows that Aunt Zhou is pregnant, and even the second miss is in a hurry.
Falling Rain Xuan.
Qian Xiao sat on the couch and crossed Erlang's legs, swallowing melon seeds in his mouth, while squinting at Zhu'er who was standing on the side, until he was annoyed by the figure walking back and forth, he impatiently withdrew his gaze at Zhu'er, threw the melon seeds back on the plate, and said irritably, "I said, sister, don't shake it!" It's shaking my head so much that I'm almost dizzy! ”
The third aunt glared at him, "What do you know. ”
Qian Xiao snorted coldly, "If you are really so restless, you might as well think of a way to make that lump of meat in that aunt's belly." ”
The third aunt's face turned pale in an instant, and she hurriedly ran over and reached out to cover Qian Xiao's mouth, and looked at Zhu'er who was standing on the side in a panic.
Qian Xiao twisted his eyebrows and pulled the third aunt's hand down, "Look at your guts!" Zhu'er is your own person, what are you afraid of! ”
"Little Ancestor, don't you know that the wall has ears!"
Qian Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Look at your timid appearance, no wonder you were pressed by a new aunt." ”
"Alright, don't talk about it!" When the third aunt heard this, she was immediately angry.
She and Zhou Shumei are usually at odds. In terms of background and qualifications, she is taller than Zhou Shumei, but as soon as she enters the mansion, she is a good concubine, and now she is pregnant with a child, I am afraid that this mansion will not have her status in the future.
"Sister, otherwise, I'll think of a way for you to get out the lump of meat in her stomach!" Qian Xiao leaned into the third aunt's ear and said with a gloomy smile.
"This can wait for the house, you, don't come nonsense!" The third aunt took two steps back in horror.
Qian Xiao pulled his mouth about the money, looking noncommittal.
"You don't care about these things, let's prepare for next year's spring." The third aunt said with a frown.
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of Chunqiu, just rush to the name of the loyal and brave waiting house, not to mention the top few, but there will always be a ranking, and then ask your brother-in-law for activities, don't worry about not being able to get an official." Qian Xiao hooked the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Speaking of which, where did you get the "Qinghe Tu" of Wu Kaizhi that you gave to the master today?" The third aunt asked.
Qian Xiao raised his hand and motioned to Zhu'er to pour himself a cup of tea, and while taking a leisurely sip of tea, he said proudly, "This painting, naturally, I bought it." ”
"Bought it? Where did you get so much silver? The third aunt stared at Qian Xiao in surprise.
Although she was born in an official family, she was a concubine, and her aunt was even more humble, so as soon as Xiao Yan came to the house, she climbed into his bed desperately and became her aunt. A few years ago, her father died of illness, and now she is the eldest brother of her mother-in-law, and he has always looked down on his younger siblings, let alone taking out so much silver to buy this valuable painting for Xiao'er to please the master.
"Okay, sister, you don't care about this, it's not early, I'll go to the guest room first." Qian Xiao said and stood up.
"No! You have to make this clear to me, or I'm not at ease. The third aunt grabbed Qian Xiao's wrist.
Qian Xiao sighed, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you if you want to know." I did buy the painting, and it cost me five hundred taels. ”
"Five hundred taels? Are you kidding me? The third aunt's eyes widened in disbelief.
Even if she is a woman in the back house, but in the end, she was born in an official family, and she has been exposed to it over the years, she also knows that Wu Kaizhi's paintings are worth thousands of gold, and she can't even buy a corner of five hundred taels of silver.
The corners of Qian Xiao's mouth hooked, and he leaned into the third aunt's ear and whispered.
"What! Fake! The third aunt was so shocked that she almost jumped
Qian Xiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the third aunt's mouth, "I said sister, can you not be so surprised!" Don't be afraid that the wall has ears! ”
The third aunt's face turned pale with fright, she gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice, "You...... How can you do that, and what if you get discovered! ”
Qian Xiao rolled his eyes, "I said sister, can you not be so timid!" This is not an ordinary fake, the man said that unless Wu Kaizhi is reincarnated, no one can see that this is a fake. ”
"Nonsense! If you find out......"
"Sister! There will be no case! If anything, I'll say I've been lied to too! Qian Xiao said, the corners of his lips lifted, "Besides, didn't you say that your brother-in-law is not good at calligraphy and painting at all, people like them have a good reputation and accept a few famous calligraphy and paintings to show off, what do you know!" ”
"......"
"That's it! Are you annoyed! Qian Xiao interrupted the third aunt's words angrily, "If you have the kung fu to take care of these, it is better to think about pulling your brother-in-law's heart back!" My future depends on his words! ”
The third aunt was angry and helpless, and looked at Qian Xiao in a daze for a long time and was speechless.
Qian Xiao didn't bother to take care of her anymore, so he raised his feet and walked out of the door.
"By the way, Xiao'er, you have been living in the house for the past few days, but don't make trouble, especially ...... Especially don't mess with Miss Two. The third aunt suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around to remind him.
"Second Miss? You mean the purple-shirted beauty sitting next to the old lady? Qian Xiao's eyes lit up.
When the third aunt saw his eyes, she hurriedly rushed over and slapped him a few times, "Don't hit her with your ideas, she can't be provoked." ”
"Really?" Qian Xiao hooked the corners of his mouth.
She's still a prickly beauty!
"You must remember my words!" The third aunt was worried and admonished again.
"Alright, I got it." Qian Xiao pulled his mouth, nodded in response, and then ignored the third aunt, and took three steps and two steps out of Luoyuxuan.
Looking at Qian Xiao's back, the third aunt sighed uneasily.
Xiao Xiwei had already refused her to let Xiao'er live in Houfu, she was really afraid that Xiao'er would not be able to control her temperament, and what trouble would happen when the time came, even if he wanted to stay, he was afraid that Xiao Xiwei would not let him.
"Auntie, do you really plan to let the young master stay in the mansion?" Seeing that Qian Xiao had walked away, Zhu'er stepped forward and asked cautiously.
Qian Xiao looked at her just now, and the words she said really made her frightened.
The third aunt turned her face and wrinkled her eyebrows and glanced at Zhu'er, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Zhu'er's face turned pale, "The slave is just afraid that the young master will cause some trouble, and the aunt will ...... when the time comes."
"That's it! In the future, you won't have to come out and wait when Xiao'er is here. The third aunt gave Zhu'er a blank look, and then turned her head and went into the inner room.
I don't want to think about my identity, but I'm just a girl, I don't look at Xiao'er or not.
