Inside the room, a beautiful woman wearing a light blue Luo skirt with a little powder is sitting on the bed, carrying needles and punctuating the silk base according to the pre-painted pattern.

Needless to say, this woman is naturally the owner of this Qinyun Courtyard, Wei Shuyi.

Wei Shuyi has been pregnant for several months, and rarely walks around the house on weekdays, and the quiet activity of embroidery, which can sit for a long time, is very suitable for her, neither too tiring nor too much to do.

The reason why the female relatives in the courtyard of the deep house practice embroidery is that some are to kill time, some to cultivate sentiment, and some to please their husbands or elders.

In contrast, Wei Shuyi is much more down-to-earth.

Embroidered can be sold for money.

This is the most important reason why Wei Shuyi insists on embroidery.

After the embroidery was completed, most of the embroidery was sold by Fluttershy's hand in exchange for some loose silver to supplement the charcoal fire in the courtyard.

There are only a few pairs of Wei Shuyi who are particularly fond of them, and they are reluctant to sell them, such as the painting "Li Niangzi Guarding Niangzi Pass" hanging on the wall at this moment.

The Sheng family is also a big family, and Wei Shu intends to be the head of the Sheng family, but he has to rely on the needlework at hand to be self-reliant, which sounds incredible, but it is a true portrayal of Wei Shu's embarrassing life in the Sheng family.

Since Sheng Hong's favored concubine Lin Yushuang's housekeeper, the share that Qinyun Courtyard deserves here has never been complete.

In Yangzhou in November, the cold wind was howling outside, the house was cold and damp, and Wei Shuyi, who was pregnant with Liujia, lacked charcoal and little food, and could only hold his daughter Minglan to warm up at night to sleep.

But even if life is so embarrassing, Wei Shuyi never thought of complaining to Sheng Hong.

Because she had already seen through Sheng Hong's partiality, she was completely disappointed in this dim-witted lord.

Instead of expecting Sheng Hong to uphold justice for himself, it is better to grit his teeth and survive by himself.

Wei Shuyi now only wants the child in his womb to be born safely, and nothing else matters.

"Little lady, listen, it seems that the lord is here!"

Fluttershy, who was helping with the needlework on the desk, suddenly looks up and whispers to Wei Shuyi.

"Listen to the voice, it seems to be really the lord."

Wei Shuyi also hears the movement in the house, and quickly puts down his work and beckons Fluttershy to get up and greet her.

The footsteps outside the house were getting closer and closer, and in just a few moments, the thick curtain that separated the inside and outside was lifted from the outside.

Sheng Hong held the curtain in one hand and Minglan in the other, and stepped into the inner room with a smile.

"Lord."

Wei Shuyi and Fluttershy bow in unison.

"Forgiveness, you are pregnant, so you don't have to be polite." Sheng Hong put down Minglan in his arms, waved his hand at Wei Shuyi, and his tone was quite gentle.

Wei Shuyi had already seen through Sheng Hong's set, and he didn't take it to heart at all, and he was deferential to Sheng Hong, but in fact there was a faint alienation.

As she beckons Fluttershy to arrange a seat, she looks at Wei Chen behind Sheng Hong, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

This young man has obviously never met him, why does he inexplicably feel cordial?

Wei Chen followed Sheng Hong into the inner room, looking at the furnishings in the room with great interest, as well as Wei Shuyi's master and servant.

Seeing Wei Shuyi looking at him curiously, Wei Chen immediately bowed his hand and bowed deeply.

"Aunt is above, please accept the little nephew!"

Seeing this strange young man come up and worship, Wei Shuyi was taken aback, and he was at a loss for a while.

She settled down and looked at Wei Chen in front of her carefully, only to find that Wei Chen's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be familiar with an old man.

"Are you ......, Brother Mingzhao's child?"

"Exactly." Wei Chen nodded: "I lost my parents when I was young, and thanks to my aunt's family, I have been able to survive until now." ”

"No wonder, no wonder, I'll just say how do you look so similar to Brother Mingzhao, it turns out that you are Brother Chen, you were still a little hairy boy back then, and in a blink of an eye, you are so old!"

Wei Shuyi confirmed Wei Chen's identity, and his tone changed from polite to close.

She hurriedly helped Wei Chen up, and said with a smile: "Ruyi has written several times, and the letters are all about you, I heard that you were admitted to Xiucai at the age of eleven, and there is a successor to Brother Mingzhao!" ”

"It's just a fluke, my aunt has won the prize." Wei Chen smiled shyly and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"By the way, Brother Chen, didn't you study in Fuxue, why did you come to Yangzhou?"

Wei Shuyi was very curious.

Before Wei Chen could answer, he listened to Sheng Hong on the side and said with a smile: "Forgiveness, Xingyun heard that you were pregnant, so he took a leave of absence and made a special trip to Yangzhou to see you!" ”

"Really?"

Wei Shuyi heard Sheng Hong's words, and hurriedly looked at Wei Chen, seeing that Wei Chen did not deny it, but just nodded and smiled, although Wei Shuyi was a little frightened, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and moved.

Since marrying into the Sheng family, Wei Shuyi has been accustomed to hypocrisy and cynicism, and he has not experienced the feeling of someone who really cares about him for a long time.

Wei Shuyi took Wei Chen's hand, tears appeared in his eyes, Wei Chen was also infected, and his eyes were slightly red.

Sheng Hong, who was on the side, saw this scene, touched his short beard under his chin, and nodded imperceptibly.

The deeper the relationship between Wei Shuyi and Wei Chen, the more meaningful Sheng Hong's investment in Wei Shuyi is, and of course he is happy to see the scene of deep love between his aunt and nephew in front of him.

At this time, there was a report from Sheng Hong's personal servant Dongrong outside the house: "Lord, people have brought it." ”

"Haha, it's finally here!" Sheng Hong's face was overjoyed when he heard this, he slapped his thigh at the moment, stood up, and beckoned to Wei Shuyi: "Let's go, forgiveness, let's go out and have a look together." ”

Wei Shuyi was puzzled and followed Sheng Hong out of the house, and Wei Chen, Minglan Xiaodie and the others followed.

Wei Chen leaned over to Minglan and said softly, "Call my brother." ”

"Don't scream!"

Minglan refused neatly.

Wei Chen smiled, and wanted to hold Minglan's little fat hand again, but the little girl in front of her was much more clever than Xiao Tao, and she dodged with a twist of her buttocks, and made a grimace at Wei Chen as if demonstrating.

Looking at Minglan who was showing off her might to herself, Wei Chen was angry and funny, but he couldn't do anything about her, so he had to treat her as if he didn't see anything.

When everyone came to the house, they saw a dozen or so subordinates lined up in three rows, all of them with their heads bowed and standing silently.

Dong Rong saluted Sheng Hong and said: "Lord, there are two first-class female envoys, three second-class female envoys, four third-class female envoys, and two errand runners, four rough envoys who wash and sweep, a total of fifteen subordinates, all here." ”

"So many people?"

Sheng Hong's eyebrows jumped, it was the first time he saw these subordinates sent by Sheng Wei, and he thought that five or six people would be up to the sky, but he didn't expect Sheng Wei to be so popular, from the first-class female envoy to the rough envoy, there were as many as fifteen people.

In terms of this configuration, it is not much worse than Lin Qi Pavilion.

No, you have to lose a few anyway!

Sheng Hong deliberately cut a few people, but when he glanced at Wei Chen behind him, he couldn't open this mouth.

Sheng Hong took this matter over, just to send a favor to Wei Chen, but in front of others, he made such a bad thing, so didn't Sheng Hong become a wicked person?

But if you really put all this batch of manpower in Qinyun Courtyard, the specifications are obviously exceeded, not only Lin Xiaoniang will cry in front of him Sheng Hong, I am afraid that even the eldest lady will come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

What should we do with these subordinates?

For a while, Sheng Hong was also a little hesitant.
