An Qien asked lightly: "Do you two have something to do together?" ”

Qingcui replied softly: "The concubine has not come to greet Mrs. recently, and she has come to ask Mrs. for peace when her body is getting better today." ”

Shen Shuli also pretended to say: "Shuli is also here to ask Mrs. for greeting, thank you Madame for giving the concubine such a good maid, the food and clothing are very good, thank you Madame for being so attentive to Shuli." ”

"You both sit down."

An Qien glanced at Qingbi, and Qingbi immediately brought stools for the two aunts.

After the two of them sat down, Qingcui smiled slightly: "Madame's mother's family is such a big happy event, the poor concubine congratulates Madame, the poor concubine has nothing to do, she only asks for a jujube pen." ”

As he spoke, Qingcui took something out of his sleeve and handed it to An Qien with both hands.

An Qien took it, looking at the exquisite pencil case and delicate patterns, and opened the pencil case, inside was a jujube heart pen with ink and yuanjian.

"You've got a heart."

Qingcui saw that An Qien was very satisfied with this gift, and the smile on her face became more natural: "This is what a concubine should do, but this is a little shabby compared to other congratulatory gifts, and the poor concubine is also afraid of losing face for her wife." ”

An Qien smiled knowingly, and said softly: "Zhao Zi of the Southern Song Dynasty said that it is advisable to use jujube heart writing for grass, and it is charming and charming, but this pen must be used in the front, and this is not shabby." ”

Qingcui didn't understand this, and she didn't even understand the meaning of the poem, but the lady's face was smiling, and she could see that this gift was very pleasing to her heart.

Shen Shuli glanced at the pen with disdain, and said in a strange manner: "I heard that scholars prefer to use bamboo pens and wolf brushes, madam, it's not that poor concubines are mouthful, you haven't seen any good pens in your mother's family, if you send a jujube heart pen over, I'm afraid you will lose your face." ”

"Since you know that it is a lot of mouth, I will slap myself twice and teach a long lesson." An Qien's tone was very light, but it was full of momentum.

After speaking, she picked up the tea lightly and waited to see Shen Shuli slap herself.

Shen Shuli's face was ugly, and she hurriedly said: "Madam, the poor concubine knows her mistakes, the poor concubine shouldn't talk too much, and the poor concubine is really good for you, so she has the courage." ”

When the words fell, Shen Shuli looked at Qiao Jianghong for help.

Qiao Jianghong coughed lightly, and said to An Qien in a warm voice: "Qien, Shuli's original intention is also for the good of Hou Mansion and An Fu, so don't worry about her." ”

An Qien took a sip of tea calmly, then put the teacup on the table and smiled at Shen Shuli.

"Since the prince of the world has spoken, forget it, I'm just scaring and scaring you, your face is so beautiful, it would be a pity if it was broken."

As soon as Shen Shuli breathed a sigh of relief, he heard An Qien say: "Listen to the meaning of your words, I have studied pens, I was just thinking about sending my brother a few more pens, and Aunt Shuli would help." ”

Shen Shuli smiled embarrassedly, how could she have a way to get a good brush, even if she had, it wouldn't be cheap An Qien.

She'd just overheard two readers talking about pens before.

"Madam, poor concubine, people are soft-spoken, I really can't get a pen on the table, and I ask Mrs. for forgiveness."

Qiao Jianghong said: "The pen sent by Qingcui is very good and very heartfelt. ”

Qingcui lowered her eyebrows: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

An Qien pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and pulled the topic elsewhere: "You have a courtyard, can you live comfortably?" ”

The smile on Qingcui's face disappeared, and she replied respectfully: "Thank you Madame for your concern, the poor concubine lives very well." ”

It is impossible for a concubine to have her own yard, so it is useless to complain, and it will leave a bad impression on the prince, so it is better to swallow this breath.

Shen Shuli replied: "The poor concubine lives very well, thank you for your compassion for the concubine." ”

"It's good to live well, you can be happy, and you can raise the fetus well."

Qiao Jianghong was very satisfied with An Qien's generosity and virtuousness, and said gently: "In the future, you two, take good care of your body, and let Mrs. worry less." ”

"Yes, Shizi."

The two replied in unison.

After chatting for a while, Qingcui and Shen Shuli returned to Liuxian Pavilion.

As soon as he returned to Liuxian Pavilion, Shen Shuli angrily smashed the teacup on the table, and scolded angrily: "That slut, take a broken pen to flatter!" What's the use, thinking that Mrs. Bajie's life is better? Think beautifully! ”

Xiaozhi reminded her: "Auntie, you dissipate your anger, it will not be good if you are heard." ”

Shen Shuli's voice is so loud, they are all in the same courtyard, and it is difficult to hear it.

Shen Shuli was not afraid, but deliberately yelled in the direction of the verdant door: "What if you hear it, a slut is a slut!" ”

Qingcui was scolded and clutched her handkerchief tightly, gritting her teeth, not daring to fight back!

Xiaozhi could only close the doors and windows tightly, but Shen Shuli's scolding became louder and louder, and Qingcui's heart was on fire, and her stomach hurt with anger.

Xiaozhi hurriedly helped her to rest on the couch: "Auntie, you can't fall for her trick, she just wants you to be angry, she wants your fetus to be unsafe, let's not be angry, don't be angry." ”

Qingcui blushed angrily, sat on the couch and took a deep breath, what Xiaozhi said made sense, she couldn't let Shen Shuli succeed.

Xiaozhi continued: "Auntie, as long as you give birth to a brother safely, life will be better, Madame is so good to you, it must be better for our brother than that slut's child." ”

Qingcui clenched her fists, Shen Shuli wanted to have a child, no way!

......

In the evening, Qiao Jianghong still came to Shen Shuli's room.

The two of them were lying on the bed, Shen Shuli was lying in Qiao Jianghong's arms, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Jiang Hong, the whole family will go to the banquet in Anfu tomorrow, can I go?" ”

"Of course you can't go, Anfu has an opinion on you, you better keep a low profile, stay at home obediently, and I'll buy you a jade bracelet when you come back."

Shen Shuli was aggrieved and muttered with a crying voice: "Really good envy of Madame, with such a powerful mother's family, unlike me, I have nothing, only Brother Jiang Hong, Brother Jiang Hong, you will love me for the rest of your life, right?" ”

As soon as the end of the note fell, Shen Shuli looked at Qiao Jianghong with gentle eyebrows and affectionate eyes.

Qiao Jianghong nodded and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will be good to you." ”

"But Mrs. ......"

"Don't worry, Qi'en's heart is not so small, she is a good lady."

Shen Shuli was unhappy in her heart, the higher Qiao Jianghong's evaluation of An Qien, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.

On the surface, she can't show it, so Qiao Jianghong has to make her soft and weak all the time.

An Qien's side is ready to go back to her parents' house tomorrow.

She explained to Bai Lu: "Ming'er, when the horse walks on the front foot, you will order someone to send a message to Shen Shuli and let her go to Anfu to attend the banquet, and say that the prince agrees." ”

The three masters and servants lit oil lamps, An Qien sat on the couch, and Bai Lu Qingbi stood on both sides.

Bai Lu: "Madam, don't worry, the slave has already explained this matter." ”

An Qien glanced at Qingbi and then said, "Qingbi, has Doctor Jiang arranged it over there?" ”

Qingbi replied: "Madame has arranged it, Dr. Jiang has already set off today, and it will take three or five days to come back." ”
