"It's fine." Chan nodded.

Because it was cold, Mao Tongtong didn't take Hongwang out again, but asked the nurse to take him to play in the house.

Mao Chengyun also went out with the mother and son to greet Uncle Chen.

As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I saw Uncle Chen coming with Su.

"Big sister!" Uncle Chen smiled, "Brother, I'm not late, right?" Today's eldest sister's birthday, my younger brother is here to celebrate! ”

"Nope! No! Chen smiled from ear to ear, "I'm so glad you to come!" I didn't expect you to remember your sister's birthday after so many years. ”

"How can I forget my eldest sister's birthday!" Uncle Chen smiled: "In the past, it was because of the distance between our sisters and brothers, and it was rare for us to see each other. Now that they're all in the capital, of course I'm coming. ”

"Come inside and talk! It's hard for you on such a cold day. Chen smiled and glanced at Su.

The birthday banquet is really more crowded and lively.

Although there were only two more people, the atmosphere was suddenly different. Uncle Chen can accompany Mao to chat, and Su can also chat with Chen about some things in the capital.

Mao Tongtong rarely interjected at this time, but from Su's words, he also heard a lot of gossip in the capital!

On the surface, this kind of gossip doesn't seem to make any sense, and some of them don't even know whether it's true or not, just some rumors.

But the capital is so big. Most of the people Su came into contact with were also official wives. In this way, gossip is more than just small talk. Sometimes an inadvertent thing can lead to unexpected information. In fact, this is also a very important item in Mrs. diplomacy.

Mao Tongtong has never liked to participate in these activities, and she is only a side blessing, so others generally do not invite her. But Su is different. After all, Uncle Chen is a fourth-grade official, and as a concubine, she sometimes receives some banquets. It's best to listen to gossip at this time.

Chen has only been back in Beijing for a year, and many interpersonal relationships are not clear. Listening to Su's gossip can also straighten out some relationships. As an official's wife, she naturally has some activities, and this kind of information comes in handy.

"Hey, I heard about a thing last time, saying that the king of Zhijun has an outer room outside the mansion!" Su's voice suddenly quieted down, but Chen and Mao Tongtong both heard it.

"How is that possible!" Chen's eyes widened in shock.

Mao Tongtong frowned, the Su family even dared to spread this kind of gossip? It's too bold! The point is, how did this come about? Who is the origin? The dignified county king raises the outer room, if this reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be terrible!

"I didn't believe it at first! Before, the king of Zhijun has always been a role model for pampering Fujin! Dafu Jin gave birth to four daughters in a row, and he didn't dislike it. I don't know how many people say that the king of Zhijun is infatuated! Su said: "But this time it is rumored that there is a nose and eyes, which is really believable." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Chan asked.

Mao Tongtong didn't say a word, and listened silently. She would also like to know the details.

"I heard that it's because Dafujin can't give birth to a son. King Naojun thought about borrowing his stomach. Giving birth to a son is counted in the name of Dafu Jin, and it is said to be born by Dafu Jin to the outside world. Su said.

"However, it's not like there are no other women in the backyard of the king of Naojun. If that's the case, it's better to find a low-status student in the house, and it's the same if it's recorded in the name of Dafujin! Chen said.

This is also what Mao Tongtong thinks in his heart. Concubines or Gege are not able to raise their own children. Whoever gives birth to a son and raises it under the knees of Dafujin is in line with the rules! Why get an outroom? Once the source of the child is discovered, will the royal family recognize it? This logic is unreasonable!

"Who knows! Maybe I just like this woman, but I just use such an excuse to stabilize Dafujin? Su Shi guessed: "Or maybe it is convenient for the woman outside to go to the mother and keep the child, so it saves trouble." The woman in the house gave birth to a child, and there will always be a chance to see the child in the future, and it is easy to get into trouble. ”

"Uncle, where did you hear all these rumors?" Mao Tongtong couldn't help but ask.

"I also listen to other people." Su did not specify who it was.

"Brother and sister, just listen to this kind of thing, don't say it outside." Chen persuaded him.

"I know. Isn't this just talking to the eldest sister? I don't even say it outside. Su Shi was a little stupid.

"When it comes to royalty, it's better to be cautious. If you leave this door today, you will forget about it. Chen said

"Got it, I'm not going to say it anymore." Su's face was already a little unsightly. She was just chatting, but she was educated by Chen. However, the Chen family is already a long-term leader, and now it is a birthday star, although the Su family is unhappy, he still obediently responds.

Mao Tongtong saw that the atmosphere was not quite right, so she diverted the topic and asked about Su's Chen Ruzhu's situation.

Sure enough, when it came to this topic, Su's face changed.

"Last time, Ruzhu came back with a much better complexion."

A good complexion means that life is comfortable. Mao Tongtong smiled: "That's good." It seems that the last time I made trouble, it still had an effect. ”

"Yes! It's really bullying the soft and afraid of the hard! Ruzhu was too weak before. I was bullied like that to know how to resist. If I had been tough a long time ago, maybe I would have had children by now. Su Shi was still a little angry.

Mao Tongtong agreed. It is true that people are good and are deceived by others. It is good for people to have kindness, but it depends on whom the kindness is given. If you are kind to everyone, then you are called Our Lady!

"Now that it's all bittersweet, you should rest assured." Chan said.

"She hasn't had a child for a day, and I can't let go of this heart for a day." Su Shi said with a somewhat wry smile: "Although it's not her problem now, outsiders don't know!" It's been a long time, and I don't know what ugly words are coming out! If you talk about your uncle's illness, Ruzhu will not be ashamed! ”

"Hey." Chen couldn't help but sigh as well, a somewhat sympathetic look on his face.

Mao Tongtong also sighed in his heart. This is the sorrow of women in this era.

"Uncle, don't be too pessimistic. Sister Ruzhu is still young, and there is still a chance for children. Didn't the doctor say that day, it can still be treated. ”

"That's what I comforted myself." Su Shi smiled and said, "I chant the scriptures to the Bodhisattva every day, and I look forward to the early transfer of Ruzhu this day." ”

Although Mao Tongtong didn't like the Su family, she didn't like the ideas she instilled in her two daughters. But at this time, she also had to admit that Su was actually a good girl. It's just that she has been planning for her two daughters in the best way she thinks is best, but she has ignored her daughters' own needs for life.

As he spoke, the hour of lunch came. Mao Tongtong looked at almost all the dishes on the table that he liked to eat, and his nose couldn't help but feel a little sour. said that it was to celebrate Chen's birthday, but it turned out that it was all about her!
