Chapter 44: Joy and Sorrow

Xu Lingyi's past was simple and clean, and only one page caught Jiang Shu's attention.

Ten years ago, Xu Lingyi's brother studied in the same academy as Shen Changze, and invited Shen Changze to come to the house to discuss poetry and meet friends.

At that time, Xu Lingyi was only twelve years old, and when Fang Qing Dou was first opened, he was attracted by the fourteen-year-old handsome and talented Shen Changze, and fell in love at first sight.

At the peony banquet, Xu Lingyi crashed into Shen Changze's arms...... Then, Shen Changze married his wife and went to Shuguan, and Xu Lingyi was ridiculed and ridiculed and never married.

After years of waiting, she finally got what she wanted.

The accident at the peony banquet, was it really an accident?

"Madam, do you want to drink the soup sent by Aunt Xu?" Yu asked.

Jiang Shu came back to his senses, looked at the soup cup on the table and said, "My leg is just a skin injury, this soup is of little use to me, take it to Tanyu to drink." ”

After a hundred days of breaking muscles and bones, Tan Yu is afraid that he will have to raise for a few days.

Yu Yu and Tan Yu are biological sisters, this time Tan Yu hurt her foot, she was distressed, and took care of it herself.

"What kind of soup is this, it's so fragrant." Tan Yu stared at the soup bowl brought by Yu Yu, swallowing greedily.

Yu Yu scooped up a spoonful and blew it, and brought it to her mouth: "Drink, gluttonous cat." ”

"This is the pork bone soup that Aunt Xu gave to Mrs., Mrs. thought it would be beneficial to your foot injury, so I brought it to you to drink."

"Madame is so good, and Aunt Xu's cooking skills are also good." Tanyu smacked his tongue in satisfaction.

In the end, she thought that the jade was feeding too slowly, so she took the bowl and drank it herself.

Seeing that she was drinking so happily, Yu Yu said with a sad face: "Doctor Fang's daughter diagnosed that Aunt Xu is pregnant, I don't know when Mrs. will be pregnant." ”

"Aunt Xu is pregnant so soon?" Tan Yu was slightly surprised.

Yu nodded: "Mrs. Jin and Aunt Xu have been pregnant one after another, but Mrs. has not moved for a long time, I am afraid that there will be speculation and rumors." ”

Tan Yu bit the spoon and said, "I don't think Madame likes Hou Ye, and I don't want to have children with Hou Ye." ”

During this tour, everyone thought that Jiang Shu and Shen Changze had shared the bed for a few days, and they had already been husband and wife. But only Tan Yu knew that Jiang Shu rejected Shen Changze's closeness, and the two did not share the same bed.

"Don't let others hear what you say, save yourself from causing trouble for your wife." Luo Yu was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a low voice.

Tan Yu licked the remaining soup at the corner of his mouth and said, "You know, is there anything else?"

"Yes, enough to gag your mouth." Luo Yu took the bowl angrily and served her another bowl.

The news that Xu Lingyi was pregnant quickly reached the ears of Old Madam Shen and Mother Shen.

Of course, Cheng Jinchu also knew.

Old Mrs. Shen and Mother Shen, who were looking forward to the continuation of the Hou Mansion's heirs, were overjoyed, but Cheng Jinchu angrily dropped the medicine bowl.

Qiushuang, who was waiting on the side, saw Cheng Jinchu's chest rising and falling, and her face was extremely angry, afraid that she would have a fetal gas and hurriedly comforted her.

"Don't worry, madam, Aunt Xu is pregnant, and her child was also born after Mrs., and it is far less noble than Mrs. Madame's child, and it can't hurt Mrs."

Cheng Jinchu couldn't listen to it at all, clenched his hands and said angrily: "Jiang Shu actually let a concubine get pregnant in front of her, it's extremely stupid!" ”

Since Xu Lingyi entered the house, Cheng Jinchu has never cared about her. is thinking that with Jiang Shu here, no matter how favored Xu Lingyi is, she can't make waves.

But she didn't expect Jiang Shu to let it go and do nothing.

Is she really generous or really stupid?

Suddenly, Cheng Jinchu's brows furrowed, his stomach ached faintly, and he subconsciously reached out to cover it.

"Madam, the slave will help you to lie down on the couch." Autumn frost scared out of a cold sweat.

With Cheng Jinchu's uncertain temper now, if the child in her womb has a mistake, she is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the blame as a personal maid.

Fortunately, Cheng Jinchu understood the importance of the child in the womb, forcibly calmed his mind, and the abdominal pain gradually eased.

"Go fry a new bowl of medicine." Cheng Jinchu calmly commanded.

Qiushuang didn't dare to slack off and went immediately.

Some people are sad and some people rejoice, but people's joys and sorrows are never the same.

In the Shelanyuan, Xu Lingyi changed into a slightly loose skirt. Let Bi Tao command the maid to clear the possible hidden dangers in the courtyard one by one to ensure the safety of the child in her womb.

This is her first child with Shen Changze, and she must be born safely.

"Bi Tao, do you think I am pregnant with a young master or a young lady?" Xu Lingyi asked expectantly.

Bi Tao's back stiffened, her brain turned quickly, and she said smartly: "Whether it is a young master or a young lady, they are all masters of the Hou Mansion, and they are unspeakably expensive." ”

Xu Lingyi was very satisfied with this answer, caressing her flat lower abdomen, her eyes full of gentleness.

In the evening, Shen Changze returned home with Yan Yang.

The subordinate immediately informed him that Xu Lingyi was pregnant.

"Really?" Shen Changze's face was overjoyed, and he strode towards Xianglanyuan, ordering Huo Chong to send Yan Yang to Shouyongtang.

Yan Yang looked at Shen Changze's happy back as he left, with a little loss on his face.

Today, Yan Yang watched Shen Changze train cavalry cavalry and archery, and was quite interested. Shen Changze saw it and said that he would build him a small bow after returning home and teach him archery.

Yan Yang looked forward to the day, but Shen Changze left him behind.

Xu Lingyi was watering the flowers in the courtyard, and Shen Changze saw her as soon as he entered the courtyard.

The person in the pine green skirt watered the flowers and plants with gentle movements, and the gorgeous and colorful glow gathered on her, as if the beauty of the flower essence was terrifying.

Shen Changze looked at her, his heart softened unconsciously, he took a few steps over and snatched the flowers in her hand and put them down, and said with a bit of reproach: "You have a body, don't do these things, beware of being tired." ”

Xu Lingyi said with a smile: "The time is still short, and it's not time to be tired." ”

"Then you have to be careful, don't do anything more." Shen Changze solemnly advised.

Xu Lingyi's heart was warm when she listened, and she was gentle.

Only then did Shen Changze let go and led her to the house.

After sitting down in the room, Shen Changze reached out and stroked Xu Lingyi's stomach.

Xu Lingyi said shyly: "Doctor Fang said that it took three months to show her pregnancy, and it took four months to move. ”

"Hmm." Shen Changze withdrew his hand and asked her, "What's the discomfort?"

Cheng Jinchu's pregnancy was extremely unstable, so that Shen Changze was not worried about her.

Xu Lingyi thought seriously: "Except for drowsiness and sleepiness, and occasional retching, there is no discomfort on the side. ”

"That's good." Shen Changze breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Lingyi observed his expression and asked tentatively, "Does Master Hou want to be a boy or a daughter?"

Shen Changze pondered: "Boy." In the future, I can help my brother support the Hou Mansion. ”

"If I have another daughter in the future, I don't have to bear heavy responsibilities, but I have my brother to protect me and live a carefree life."

Xu Lingyi smiled softly: "Master Hou thinks the same as the concubine." ”

With Jiang Shu and Cheng Jinchu here, she didn't dare to think about the foundation of the Hou Mansion, but she also hoped to have a son to rely on.

Just like Shen Changze's cousin Shen Changhuai, after gaining fame, he can not only live a frank and open posture, but also support his mother.

The two were talking in the house, and Bi Tao suddenly entered the house to report.

"Master Hou, someone is coming from Mrs. Tai's courtyard, please go to Master Hou."

"But what's the matter?" Shen Changze asked.

Bi Tao shook her head.

"I'll come when I go." Shen Changze got up and went with a little doubt.

Xu Lingyi saw him leave and waited for him to come back and have dinner together.
