Xu Lingyi was stunned and couldn't guess Jiang Shu's thoughts.

But there is one thing she understands, Cheng Jinchu hates her, and she can only stand on Jiang Shu's side.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Lingyi said: "Madame is generous and kind, and her character is noble. In the future, if the concubine has a child, she will be placed by his wife's side to raise her. ”

Jiang Shu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood.

Xu Lingyi is showing her loyalty.

Apricot eyes flashed, Jiang Shu deliberately teased her: "Give me the child to raise, are you willing to do it?"

There is no mother in the world who does not love her children, and there is no mother who is willing to let her children enjoy themselves under the knees of others.

Xu Lingyi is proving her sincerity.

"Reluctant." Xu Lingyi said with a sincere face: "The concubine herself is a concubine, so she understands the fate of concubines." If the children of the concubine can be raised by his wife's side, it is his blessing. ”

Jiang Shu kept staring into her eyes, understanding that her words were sincere.

Only, she doesn't need to.

"But I think the child just wants to follow his own mother."

"Madam, I'm ......" Xu Lingyi was anxious for a while, thinking that Jiang Shu was afraid that he would not be able to raise him.

Jiang Shu turned his head to look at the birds in the bamboo forest outside the window and said, "Look at those birds." ”

Xu Lingyi followed her line of sight.

"The two big birds are a couple, and they hatched three young birds this spring. I watched them forage and feed the young birds every day, and it was very hard to come and go in the wind and rain, so I came up with the idea of adopting the young. ”

"I ordered someone to fetch the bird's nest, but as soon as the next person approached, the big bird that stayed behind screamed fiercely, and the young birds in the nest were afraid to hide under the wings of the big bird, and refused to leave even half a step."

Birds are still attached to their parents, how can people not be attached to them.

Xu Lingyi looked at the little bird on the branch with his eyes closed and enjoying the big bird's feathers, speechless.

She once complained about her background, but she never complained about her mother. Because she understands that her mother has tried her best to give her the best.

"Mrs. Xie's teachings." In addition to respect, Xu Lingyi admired Jiang Shu a little more.

When leaving the Tingzhu Building, Xu Lingyi caught a glimpse of something black squirming in the corner of the courtyard and was startled.

"Auntie, don't be afraid, that's not in vain." The jade who sent her explained.

"Not in vain?"

Yu Yu smiled: "Madame's rabbit." ”

It turned out to be a rabbit.

Xu Lingyi laughed at herself for being timid.

Shen Changze has been very busy these days, and the winery he and Cheng Jinchu opened has finally opened.

Outsiders don't know that the winery was opened by Cheng Jinchu, but it is the industry of the Marquis of Jing'an.

It was the Jiang family and the Xu family who brought people to the scene.

"Smell drunk. Good name. ”

"Not to mention, the smell of this wine is really tempting, let's go in and taste it."

Pedestrians passing in groups of twos and threes.

Shen Changze personally entertained Jiang's father and Lord Xu, and Cheng Jinchu couldn't show up, so he could only sit in the backyard.

When the sun was setting, the two returned home tired.

"Everyone says that the wine you make is very good, and our wine shop is open." Shen Changze held Cheng Jinchu's hand, with warmth in his eyes.

The opening of the winery went smoothly, and Cheng Jinchu's heart that had been hanging back into his stomach fell, revealing a confident and smug smile: "I said a long time ago, I have an ancestral secret recipe." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Changze took her into his arms and thanked her for her dedication to the Hou Mansion.

Cheng Jinchu hugged him and said softly: "For the sake of my husband and two children, I am willing to do anything." ”

Because of this sentence, Shen Changze has been staying in Lanyun Courtyard for half a month, as if he had forgotten Jiang Shu and Xu Lingyi.

"Madam, the day after tomorrow is the young master's birthday." Yu presented the gift that Jiang Shu asked her to prepare.

Jiang Shu was very satisfied after reading it, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You go and talk to the Hou Ye, so that he doesn't forget it." ”

"Yes." Yu Yu turned around and went.

Shen Changze had already forgotten about this matter to the Nine Clouds, and he only remembered it when Yu Yu said it.

The day after tomorrow, it's still too late to buy gifts.

So he asked Yu Yu: "What does Jiang Ning like on weekdays?" I asked someone to buy it for his birthday. ”

Yu Yu said: "Madame is ready, Master Hou only needs to accompany Madame to go back." ”

"I see." Shen Changze didn't insist, because he knew that Jiang Ning didn't lack anything.

June 17, Jiang Ning's birthday.

Jiang Shu got up early in the morning to dress up, prepared the carriage and returned to Jiang's house happily.

But she waited for a long time, but there was no trace of Shen Changze.

"Ma'am." Shen Changze's personal guard Huo Chong came.

"Where's Master Hou?" Jiang Shu asked him.

Huo Chong said: "Lord Sun of the Commander of Xiaoqi has an urgent matter to discuss with Hou Ye, and Hou Ye asked his wife to go back to Jiang's house first, and he will go over later." ”

Jiang Shu's face was calm and a little displeased.

But Shen Changze was busy with official business, and she couldn't blame it, so she could only say: "Let Hou Ye go to Jiang's Mansion early after he is busy." ”

"Yes." Huo Chong responded and left in a hurry.

"Let's go." Jiang Shu got up and went back to Jiang's house alone.

When he arrived at Jiang's mansion, before the carriage stopped, Jiang Ning couldn't wait to rush over.

"Sister, brother-in-law." The boy's voice was eager and excited.

Luo Yu opened the car door, and Jiang Shu stepped out of the carriage.

"Where's my brother-in-law?" Jiang Ning looked into the car suspiciously.

Jiang Shu nodded his head and said angrily: "What, do you think he doesn't want me?"

Stinky boy, but he just played a few games of chess with others, and he was bought.

"What did Sister say, of course I miss you, but my brother-in-law promised to come to me for my birthday." didn't see Shen Changze, Jiang Ning was a little annoyed.

It's not for anything else, I just feel that Shen Changze doesn't keep his word.

"Why didn't Master Hou come?" Father Jiang also asked out loud.

A few days ago, he went to smell the fragrance and drink and saw Shen Changze, and they had a very happy conversation, and they thought that they would be happy to drink with him today.

Seeing that the family was extremely looking forward to Shen Changze's arrival, Jiang Shu couldn't bear to spoil their fun, and said with relief: "Don't worry, he will come after he is busy with official business." ”

"That's good." The family was relieved and pulled Jiang Shu into the house.

Because of the anticipation in the heart, the family always looked at the door from time to time when they were talking.

Looking at the end, Jiang Shu was a little nervous.

It was almost noon, and she was afraid that Shen Changze would not come.

After waiting a little longer, the butler came and called them, saying that the table was ready.

"Why hasn't my brother-in-law come yet, do you have so much official business to do?" Jiang Ning muttered dissatisfiedly, and his face was very unhappy.

The little good impression he had for Shen Changze in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Father Jiang sighed: "We don't understand the government affairs of the court, let's eat." ”

"Shu'er." Mother Jiang worriedly took Jiang Shu's hand.

Jiang Shu didn't want his mother to worry, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Mother, let's eat, I'm hungry if I haven't eaten a few bites in the morning." ”

Mother Jiang understood her mind and did not debunk it.

The Jiang family and his family are all in Shangjing, and today should be very lively. Because Shen Changze was coming, Jiang's father was afraid that they would disturb Shen Changze, so he asked them not to come.

Nowadays, the sumptuous banquet is only for a family of four, which seems a little deserted.

After the meal, Jiang Shu accompanied Jiang's mother to the garden to eat, and Jiang's mother asked about her recent situation.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"I heard that you took a concubine for Master Hou."

"Well, Aunt Xu is also a poor person......"
