"The fourth sister was an official with the second uncle, and my grandmother loved her, how many times she cheated us, I still remember that once my mother specially played a gold hairpin for me, in order to go to my uncle's house to drink wine, but in the end it was confiscated by my grandmother, and within a few days I saw the gold hairpin lying in the jewelry box of the fourth sister."

Geng Xingchen still felt depressed when he thought of the days when he was pressed on his head by Geng Xingbing and pitted from time to time.

Zhu Yan nodded in agreement, "It's annoying, but I don't know if Princess Ping has a brain convulsion or took the wrong medicine, or that Aunt Geng gave her a Gu, and she actually raised a concubine like this, it's really incomprehensible." ”

The two of them talked here for a long time, and they didn't hear Geng Xingshuang speak, Geng Xingchen couldn't help but ask, "Sixth sister, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking, the fourth sister has gained weight!" Geng Xingshuang said.

"It's getting fat, which shows that the food in Pingwangfu is much better than that in Bofu." Geng Xingchen said.

Geng Xingshuang glanced at her and looked at Zhu Yan, "I remember that when my grandmother was pregnant, when she walked or stood, she often held her waist with one hand and protected her stomach with the other...... It's just Geng Xingbing's belly...... Now I'm wearing a lot, and I can't see anything. ”

Zhu Yan nodded, "You mention it like this, her posture just now is indeed quite similar to my sister-in-law's state when she was pregnant." ”

Geng Xingchen's eyes widened, "You mean...... Fourth sister pregnant? ”

"Not sure yet."

"Nine times out of ten!"

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan spoke at the same time.

"If Sister Xu is here, she will definitely be able to see it at a glance." Geng Xingshuang was a little regretful.

Geng Xingchen carefully recalled the appearance of Geng Xingbing just now, and found that she had looked at Geng Xingbing twice from beginning to end, focusing on her face and the silver-red jacket skirt, and really didn't pay much attention to her figure and posture.

However, she agreed with Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan's statements.

"That's why Princess Tongping wants to accommodate the fourth sister like this, but the Ping Mansion has never had children."

It is said that Prince Ping's heir is difficult, before it was because of physical reasons, and then King Jin traveled thousands of miles for this brother, climbed one of the Jedi Yuyao Mountain, and picked the elixir Yuyao flower for him, and King Ping's weak body, which was always coughing, gradually improved, and now it has been cured after the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

This year, there was good news from the concubine room in the inner courtyard of King Ping, but it was gone after just three months.

If Geng Xingbing is really pregnant, then it makes sense for Princess Ping to treat her like this.

It's just that Geng Xingshuang still has some doubts in her heart, and feels that Princess Ping has done too much.

"If the fourth sister puts down her body and coaxes people, it won't be strange for Princess Ping."

Knowing Geng Xingshuang's doubts, Geng Xingchen said.

The three of them chatted about today's affairs in the palace on the carriage, and sent Zhu Yan to the Zhenguo Mansion, and the two sisters Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen returned to the Bofu.

Time always flows inadvertently, and when it snowed for the first time in the fifteenth year of Shengning in Ningdu City, Geng Xingshuang found that he didn't know when, there were no dead leaves on the ground, and when he looked up, the trees were already bare, and it seemed that it was only a matter of one night from late autumn to complete winter.

She remembered that when the first snow last winter, the emperor and the adults went to the Huangzhuang, from autumn hunting to winter hunting, and at that time, Wu Shisun of Dingguo Gong and Zhu Ni made a marriage contract, and a group of them ran to Xuelin Pavilion to eat barbecue, the lively scene at that time, a year, but still fresh in memory.

Geng Xingshuang sat in front of the window, watching the large snowflakes fall, and couldn't help but think of the Zhenyao army going north, according to the time calculation, if there was no accident in the middle, the Zhenyao army should have been in Cangcheng for more than ten days, and I don't know what the situation in the north is now.

The next day, Zhu Yan suddenly came to Bofu, Geng Xingshuang didn't expect what he was thinking about the day before, and he got the news from Zhu Yan the next day.

"As soon as the Zhenyao army arrived in Cangcheng, there was no time to rest, and immediately joined the battle, if they went an hour late, Cangcheng would not be able to hold it, fortunately, they arrived in time, it was just too timely, as soon as they arrived, they repelled the Yaomu army, if it wasn't for the fact that they had just arrived, and experienced a big battle, the soldiers were hungry and tired, and they chased out directly to drive Yaomu back to their hometown in one fell swoop, and it was not impossible to dare to set foot in my Daning again!"

As soon as Zhu Yan got the news of the first victory of the Zhenyao army, he came to Anpingbo's mansion and couldn't wait to tell Geng Xingshuang the good news.

"The good news was only delivered today?" Geng Xingshuang asked, "Has the prince come to the house?" ”

Zhu Yan shook his head, "No, the good news was sent to the palace last night, this morning at the court meeting, the emperor immediately announced, Sister Shuang, Sister Chen, I heard that the emperor also praised the third princess, the sixth princess, the pure prince and our Mingshang Pavilion at the court meeting, saying that the Zhenyao army has not yet arrived in Pingcheng, and it encountered heavy snow, thanks to the cotton clothes we sent." ”

The first batch of cotton clothes only set off two days later than the Zhenyao army, which was all the inventory of the Ming Pavilion, plus the urgent purchase, and persuaded the merchants who had business dealings, such as Jinxiufang and Liu Ji Garment Shop, to make it up together, and sent it to the north together with the preparations prepared by the military department.

As for what the embroiderers and garmenters did later, and the three princesses called on the ladies and grandmothers of the families to make up, they also set off ten days ago.

"Really?" Geng Xingshuang didn't expect the emperor to mention Mingshang Pavilion at the court meeting.

"But no, when I heard my mother say, I was also surprised, my grandmother originally did business with me, and always thought that I was a child, although I didn't stop it, but I always felt that I was just playing, and today she happily praised me."

Said, she smiled proudly, "Xiaoyu has always wanted to open a restaurant, the second uncle and two aunts agreed, that is, grandmother always thinks that the girl's family should stay in the boudoir, and taboo Xiaoyu used to be a cook, and now open a restaurant, although she does not need to cook herself, but it is always related to her previous livelihood, so she has not let go, I don't have any money, I'll help cushion it first, but when I earn the silver, I have to pay it back! ”

Zhu Yan learned the words of the old lady of Zhenguo, and learned it vividly, and Ruan and the others laughed.

"I haven't seen Xiaoyu for a long time, and if she opens a restaurant in the future, I will definitely go to the party."

"I'll go too." Geng Xingchen immediately followed.

When Geng Xingshuang saw Geng Xingchen, she suddenly thought of something, "Didn't I hear you say yesterday that Second Miss Li invited you to Li Mansion as a guest?" ”

Li's second girl's name is Li Ying, she is Li Xu's cousin, and she is only ten years old, in fact, she was invited by Li Ying, but it is better to say that she was invited by Mrs. Li or Li Xu.

Geng Xingchen's face flushed, "It's still early, I'll be over in a while." ”

"It's not early!" Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan spoke at the same time.

"Let's go, it's the first time I'm a guest, it's always bad to be late." Jiang also said.

Although Geng Xingchen still wanted to talk to Zhuyan Geng Xingshuang for a while, he also knew that what his mother said was reasonable, so he had to stand up, blushed slightly and went out with the maid Bai Zhi.

Just now, the Jiang family was sending Geng Xingchen out, and at the same time explaining some things on the road, seeing Zhu Yan, and hearing the news of the victory of the Zhenyao army, he came to Qingcui Courtyard together, and now Geng Xingchen went to Li's house, and Jiang also left.

Geng Xingshuang wanted to keep Zhu Yan for lunch, but Zhu Yan said, "No, I promised my little nephew to go back and bring him toys."

Geng Xingshuang smiled, "How old is he, can he understand when you talk to him?" ”

"But I said it before I left, and I have to do it."

"Anyway, you want to go back and play with your little nephew, right?"

"You don't know how funny he is, white and chubby, like a dough."

Zhu Yan said, the people had already walked out, "There is snow on the road, the carriage is moving slowly, I still have to pick up toys." ”

Seeing her anxious appearance, Geng Xingshuang didn't keep her.

Anyway, the relationship between them doesn't care about a meal or two.
