Chapter 25: A small family-like heroine
Ji Man was in his yard, counting the silver tickets that the water lady had just delivered, and by the way, he asked Alfalfa to send the newly made goods out again. In the past month, alabaster has swept the whole capital, and it is already in short supply. Ji Man's speed of making alabaster is limited, so the price has risen all the way, and the small boxes of alabaster have risen to 20 silver per box, which is equivalent to the living expenses of ordinary people for half a year.
The water lady is a businessman, and when the goods arrive, she will first give them to a few ladies and ladies who can't afford to offend, and then dare to open a quota to sell. I heard that there is also a black market outside, and the big box of alabaster has been fried to one or two boxes of gold.
Alabaster is so popular, the water lady naturally wants to let Ji Man give more goods. However, on the grounds that scarcity is expensive, Ji Man still only gives 100 boxes every month.
Alfalfa couldn't help but say, "Master, let's hire a few more people to do such a money-making thing?"
Ji Man shook his head: "More is a curse, don't be greedy." ”
But looking at so much silver, Ji Man was very happy, and he walked straight on the road. Otherwise, how can it be said that a financially independent woman has an independent personality, and if she can support herself, she will have enough confidence.
So when the old lady sat in the main courtyard with a tense face and red eyes, only Ji Man looked at Mu Shuiqing who was sitting shyly in the chair on the side very calmly.
Mu Shuiqing was serving in the old lady's yard today, and she was making vegetables, but she smelled a fish, and somehow vomited. The old lady was about to be angry, but as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly asked the doctor to pass on her.
Several qualified old doctors took the pulse one by one for a long time, and only then did they determine that Mu Shuiqing was more than a month pregnant, counting the days, it should be Wen Wan to ask for a son Guanyin, and Mu Shuiqing served Mo Yuhou for a few days.
This is tantamount to a slap on the wrist to Wen Wan, she can't cry, she can't laugh, and she is locked in the room alone for a long time before her eyes come out with red eyes.
Mo Yuhou originally went to the palace, but he hurriedly came back after listening to the news, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy on his face, so he came in and stood beside Wen Wan and saluted the old lady.
"It's a good thing to have a future. It took a long time for the old lady to say this lightly, and it was obvious that although she liked to hold her grandson, she also wanted to see the birth. In the end, it is Mo Yuhou's first child, even if he asks a concubine to conceive first, he is still a concubine with a not very clean background.
It is despicable for a geisha to be a concubine, but this Mu Shuiqing was first taken in by the prince, raised for two years, and at the age of nineteen, he was sent to the Moyu Marquis's Mansion.
Even if it's just a geisha, it's a geisha who has been gilded with gold by the prince, representing the prince's intention to stay here, and Mo Yuhou naturally wants to buy it.
But if you buy it, you will buy it, and you just want her to be a concubine all the time. Who would have thought that she would be the first to conceive in the Hou Mansion.
The old lady can be happy, there will be ghosts, I wish she would give birth to a daughter, and sent it away.
Ji Man stood aside indifferently, looking at the faces of everyone in the room. Ning Yuxuan's eyes were always on Wen Wan, and he didn't look at Mu Shuiqing at all. It doesn't seem like he's very concerned about this belly either.
"Wan'er arrange it, you can't be so casual when you have a body, add two more maids to watch, and be careful about what you eat. The old lady commanded.
Wen Wan hurriedly stood up, bowed her head and said, "Yes." ”
Mo Yuhou looked at her somewhat resentful and somewhat aggrieved face, sighed in his heart, and waited for the arrangements here to be arranged and their own endings, and then he pulled Wen Wan all the way to the Rose Garden.
Ji Man looked at Mu Shuiqing's somewhat blue face, and couldn't help but gloat. She must have thought that she could walk sideways with her body, but how did she know that Ning Yuxuan didn't take her seriously as usual, and from the time she came in to the present, she only looked at Wen Wan alone.
"Be careful. Walking on the path, Ji Man looked at Mu Shuiqing, who was supported by two maids exaggeratedly behind him, and said with a smile: "It seems that no one is rare with this thing, but you also have to protect it firmly." ”
"What did you say?" Mu Shuiqing gritted her teeth and trembled with anger: "Who doesn't rarity my child?"
Ji Man shrugged, she didn't believe she couldn't see it, but it was immoral to stimulate a pregnant woman, she still said a few words, and turned around to go her own way.
Mu Shuiqing stood in place for a long time, Liu Hanyun walked past her without squinting, and Qian Yingxue also passed by lightly, and no one looked at her more. Qi Siling, who came out at the end, stopped, but just said: "Offending Mrs. at this juncture is really a bad move." ”
Mu Shuiqing's face was ugly, and she slowly walked back to her yard, and she was so angry that she didn't eat dinner.
In the Rose Garden here, Wen Wan had been crying silently for half an hour, and Ning Yuxuan had no choice at all. All the methods have been used to coax again, but Wen Wan is still just crying.
"Do you blame me?" he said, "Qing'er also took the initiative to let me spoil her." ”
"Are you still blaming me?" Wen Wan gave a little temper and cried: "Other women conceived your child before me, and you still don't allow me to cry?"
Ning Yuxuan was speechless, but she cried so much that he felt uncomfortable, so he could only stand up and walk out irritably.
Wen Wan is the heroine of the small family, and in the original book, this is how to make a fuss, Hou Ye took a break from all the women in the yard for her, and then the two of them lived together and had a happy ending.
I have to say that the original book is very brain-dead, Ji Man thought, true love is one thing, living a life is another, how strong love can last a lifetime? At most, it is sweet for so many years, and in the days to come, all you will see is the skill of getting along. Wen Wan is a woman who is very sweet in love and can't live at all.
Mo Yuhou walked around the mansion, thinking about what to do to make Wen Wan feel better, just out of the rose garden, bypassing a green shade, he saw Nie Sangyu sitting in the pavilion on the side, with two teas on the table.
"Master Hou. Ji Man looked at him with a smile: "If you have any troubles, it's better to say it, the slave may have a way." ”
Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked over: "How do you know that I will come out?"
Ji Man lowered his eyes: "The slave is just drinking tea here." ”
"Two drinks per person?"
"......" Ji Man coughed lightly: "Master Hou is a smart person, and the slave is not too stupid." Now that Master Qing is pregnant, the lady must be uncomfortable, and the Hou Ye must not stay in the Rose Garden for a long time, so the slave and maid will come to try their luck. ”
Mo Yuhou looked at her deeply, and then sat down at the table: "What can you do?"
Wen Wan was angry with him, but in fact, he had a queen, and she should be happy for her as the main room of the housemother. So Ning Yuxuan didn't know how to persuade her, and because he really liked her, he was reluctant to blame her.
Ji Man smiled slightly: "Madame has always wanted a child in her heart, but she didn't get pregnant, but let someone else get pregnant, no matter how you think about it, you should be angry." Master Hou might as well explain it directly, Master Qing's child is born, whether it is male or female, and he will be held by his wife to raise. Madame's heart will feel a little better. ”
It is also common for a wife to raise an eldest son, Mo Yuhou sighed and said, "I also thought like this, but with a gentle temperament, even if I say that, she may not be happy." ”
"Women, just coax more. Ji Man said: "Madame must be afraid that someone else will conceive a child and take your heart." Hou Ye can accompany her every day, and if she doesn't look at Master Qing much, Mrs. can naturally understand Hou Ye's heart. ”
Mo Yuhou raised his head and chuckled, "You still hold a grudge against Qing'er for pushing you into the water?"
This is obviously to ask him to snub Mu Shuiqing, that person is not a worry-free character, if he is pregnant and is snubbed, there may be some chaos.
Ji Man glanced at Mo Yuhou with a little sadness, and said, "Why does Master Hou keep thinking about Sang Yu so stingy? Master Qing has already been punished last time, what does Sang Yu do to harm her? It's just Master Qing's character, and Master Hou also knows that if she is allowed to be free, Mrs. will definitely not be happy." It is easy to offend people with her temperament, and it is even more difficult for this child to be saved. ”
Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows: "Are you still doing it for her good?"
Killing him didn't believe that Nie Sangyu would have such a heart.
Ji Man shook his head and said very seriously: "The slave maid is just a well-behaved person in front of the Hou Ye, and tell the Hou Ye that the lady may be happy if he does this, as for whether to listen to it or not, the power is in the hands of the Hou Ye." ”
Ning Yuxuan snorted lightly, glanced at the bright eyes of the person in front of him, pursed his lips and said, "If you are willing to stay honest and don't do anything, you are the most well-behaved." ”
Ji Man lowered his head and smiled: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the slave and maid don't fight for anything now, don't want anything." ”
Women's words, including hers, just listen to them, whoever is serious is a fool. How could she not want it, there are still a lot of things she wants, but she can't rush it, she has to come step by step.
Ning Yuxuan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, the entrance was refreshing and sweet, it turned out to be osmanthus tea.
With a frown, he put down the teacup and said, "I don't like to drink this kind of sweet tea." ”
Ji Man raised his eyebrows, took his cup of tea and took a sip, and then smashed his mouth: "You don't like to drink dew-boiled tea, so if there is anything sweet next time, the slave will help you eat and drink." ”
Her eyes widened slightly, Ning Yuxuan didn't expect her to behave like this, and after being stunned for a while, she pursed her lips slightly and said, "Pay attention to some rules." ”
Ji Man reacted, and put down the teacup with some embarrassment: "The slave and maid have overpassed, and they will have to follow the old lady into the palace later, so they won't disturb the Hou Ye." ”
Ning Yuxuan knew that Concubine Nie Guifei had lifted the foot ban, so her mother was going to enter the palace to see her today. But didn't I say it before, only the main room and the wife are qualified to enter the palace, how can she pass as a concubine?
"Master Hou, don't worry. Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Ji Man lowered his eyes and said self-deprecatingly: "In addition to the identity of the concubine you gave, I also have the identity of the niece of the concubine's mother's family, and it is not difficult to follow the old lady in a low-key manner." ”
Mo Yuhou paused, raised his eyes and looked at the well-behaved person in front of him, and felt a little guilty in his heart.
