wives and concubines

Li Jian stood firmly in front of the hanging flower gate of Meixiangyuan, looking at Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue had a clean face, she bent over to greet Li Jianan, showing her elegant and fair neck.

Li Jianan caught a glimpse of it inadvertently, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, staring at Aunt Xue thoughtfully.

Aunt Xue didn't hear Li Jian'an yelling to get up for a long time, she didn't know what to do, so she asked Ann again.

Li Jian'an smiled lightly and said, "Get up." Then he walked forward without turning his head.

Aunt Xue was slightly startled, thinking of the news she heard today, there was a trace of sharpness on her face that was always dull and dull in the past.

The lady has three children in her belly!

Two more brothers, maybe even all brothers...

Seeing that she had put in so much effort back then, Chen Chunfang, who slowly coaxed her to raise Brother Wen so weakly, was no longer worth it.After great difficulty, he tried his best to use what he could at the back, which made Brother Wen get closer to the Chen family, but farther and farther away from the title of the Li family.

who would have thought...

Chen Chunfang is useless, since she knows how to drug the concubine so that the concubine will not be able to have children, why won't she tamper with the stepmother in advance, even if it is inconvenient for her, it is possible that she does not know that the eldest wife of the Chen family... …

He still has to wait until the person is married before tampering with the account books. Not to mention being seen through by the Duke, it will not be cheap for him to do it later, what a fool!

Aunt Xue was furious in her heart, she didn't dare to show the slightest bit on her face, she just looked at Li Jian'an's back quietly, and called out to the Duke in the late summer breeze.

The voice was tactful, and there was a hint of sadness in the soft tone.

Li Jianan froze and stood where he was.

A gleam of joy flashed across Aunt Xue's eyes.

I have served the Duke for so many years. Although the Duke is cold-hearted, as long as you don't do something wrong to him first, no matter what, he will always leave an old love for himself, which may not be respect. But it's enough for today.

In the quiet outer courtyard of Meixiang Courtyard, there began to be the sound of choking sobs.

Li Jian'an turned around slowly, staring at Aunt Xue who was wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Aunt Xue just lowered her head and didn't say a word, her fingertips were slightly wet.

Li Jianan walked over slowly, grabbed Aunt Xue's chin, and forced her to raise her head.

Aunt Xue's eyes were full and pitiful.

Li Jianan's eyes gradually turned from sullen to bored, and he waved his hands and said indifferently: "What do you want!"

Aunt Xue turned pale with shock, not understanding why Li Jianan suddenly said such words.

It was not good.

The Duke of the State has clearly softened his heart, as long as he is more aggressive, there is a good chance that what he wants to ask today will be done.

I have come to where I am today step by step, relying on serving the Duke for so many years, and knowing the Duke better than anyone else, sometimes even better than Mrs. Tai.

With this point, I can often judge the meaning of the father-in-law of the country, never do things against his will, and strive for the opportunity to give birth to Brother Wen, and I have the status I have today.

Why is it suddenly not working today?

It was the first time for Aunt Xue to be so uncertain, for a moment she forgot all the speeches she had prepared, and just bowed her head tremblingly.

Li Jian'an said impatiently: "Madam Tai asked you to stay in the yard with Aunt An, what are you doing in Meixiang Courtyard!"

"My lord, this servant does not dare to interrupt my wife's rest, but I just want to ask my lord for something." Aunt Xue was afraid that she would lose her chance, so she could only take a risk.

"Go ahead."

Aunt Xue saw that Li Jianan frowned, but she still let go, and hurriedly said: "There are five elements to restrain wood in Qiufengyuan. This servant once begged a great monk from Puning Temple. That said, it’s best to stay far away from the wood. Although the servant girl is not Wen Ge’er’s mother, at least she came out with Brother Wen. I was afraid that I would burden him, so I wanted to ask the master if I could let the servant girl pick someone else. Live in a secluded place."

It seemed that she was afraid that Li Jian'an would get angry and misunderstood her intentions. She hurriedly explained: "I heard that the Bishui Pavilion is still vacant, and I am willing to move there. I will not cause trouble to anyone."

Both Qiufengyuan and Bishuige lived in the concubines of the ancestors of the Li family.

It has been idle since the old Duke, and almost no one in the family has ever asked about it.They are all secluded and unattended places, but Qiufeng Courtyard is still a courtyard of its own, and Bishui Pavilion is just a few bamboo houses built temporarily for the sake of enjoying the scenery. What a look!

Considering the terrain, it is even more remote than Qiufengyuan.

Aunt Xue actually wants to live there!

Li Jianan took a deep look at the person in front of him.

At the end, he said: "Since Mrs. Tai has ordered, you just do it!"

Aunt Xue wanted to talk again, but seeing Li Jian'an's cold and stern eyes full of impatience, she felt sore, knowing that Li Jian'an was in a hurry to watch Chun Ge, so she murmured down.

Li Jian'an stared at Aunt Xue's back in a daze for a while, and after a long time told Lian Zhi next to him, "Go out later and tell Steward Wang to keep an eye on Aunt Xue these few days."

It's not Aunt An who likes to be sour and jealous the most, but Aunt Xue who is usually quiet.

Lian Zhi was taken aback when she heard the words, but she also knew that it was not her turn to take care of such matters, so she answered yes with a low eyebrow.

Li Jianan went straight in to watch Chunge.

Chun Ge is sitting in the room and pulling a few little maids to choose fabrics.

The people around were chirping with ideas.

Jade made the loudest voice, and kept pointing to a maroon-red embroidered gourd pattern of the best Su Duan and said: "Madam uses this and this. The color is bright and the material is good. I'm sure all my brothers and sisters will like it when I make it. It's still comfortable."

Luyu has been with Fei Cui for a long time, and they are also very good, so she joked about Fei Cui, "Look at Sister Fei Cui, she is not yet married, and the child's affairs are clear." Then she winked and gave Chun Ge an idea, "Ma'am, madam, hurry up and find a home for Sister Fei Cui, she is in a hurry!"

Chun Ge smiled and asked her, "Who is in a hurry." She glanced at the red-faced Fei Cui, and said, "It turns out that Fei Cui is in a hurry!"

As soon as the words were finished, before Fei Cui stomped her feet to complain, she laughed herself first.

Eyebrows are stretched, and the already beautiful facial features seem to be dizzy with a halo of light, which makes people immersed in it.

When Li Jian'an walked in from the outside, he heard laughter from all over the room, and saw that Chun Ge's face was rosy, and there was no sign of anything bad, so he was relieved.

But it is said that twins are not good.

I didn't expect myself to be not only a twin, but also able to eat and sleep. It's really a blessing from heaven!

The joy in Li Jian'an's heart was even greater, because of the accident brought by Aunt Xue before, he also lost some points, and even joked with a few maids like never before.

"Whoever is in a hurry to get married, let your wives decide!"

The Jade and Red Jade servant girls have always been afraid of Li Jian'an, but now they suddenly heard Li Jian'an joking with them, they couldn't react for a long time, but when they understood it, panic appeared on their faces.

Seeing Chun Ge beside her, she couldn't help laughing, and cast a glance over.

Li Jianan's heart softened when he saw it.

He went straight to sit next to Chun Ge, picked up the plum tea in front of Chun Ge, and took a sip.

Ever since Chun Ge knew she was pregnant, she could eat and sleep, and there was no sign of something bad.It is only occasionally that I want to eat some hot and sour food, and I will vomit a few times, but I can still eat it after vomiting.

Even in the worst days, it was just a false alarm, and after a while it was all right.

But this plum tea cannot be broken for a day.

Because of this Mrs. Tai, she specially asked someone to go to the farmhouse on Zhuangzi to collect fresh green plums, mix them with the warming and tonic medicinal materials prescribed by the imperial doctor, and use secret methods to make green plum liquid.

Sour green plum juice, pour some hot water into it when drinking, let it dry for a while, it is green plum tea.Drinking it can make people feel comfortable from the body to the heart.

Everyone in the house knows Chun Ge's recent preference, and Li Jian'an, as the person next to him, is even more aware of it.

When Chun Ge saw that Li Jian'an knowingly committed the crime, and deliberately brought her tea cup to drink in front of everyone, a blush rose on her face.

Li Jianan pretended not to know, and smiled slightly.

Chunge lowered her head shyly.

Mama Tong exchanged glances with Fei Cui, and at some point, only the husband and wife were left in the room.

Li Jian'an couldn't hold back his excitement, and hugged Chun Ge on his lap. When he was half hugging and half hugging, his wide palm kept stroking Chun Ge's abdomen, and murmured: "It's really three!"

There was irrepressible joy in the tone.

Talking to himself, as if Chun Ge would disappear suddenly, he said nervously: "Chun Ge, you must give birth to our child properly."

Chun Ge couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.

The famous Duke Ding, the King Yama on the battlefield, would have such a day.

But this man must be worried about his heirs day and night, so he was so worried about gains and losses when he heard that he had three children in his belly.

As Ding Guogong, the court was on thin ice, and the backyard was in chaos. He had lost several children, so it was no wonder that he and Mrs. Tai were too cautious.

Especially since I carry the great hope of the Li family in my stomach.

Thinking of these, some unhappiness in Chunge's heart disappeared.

So what about caring about offspring? Not to mention that the ancient people regarded inheriting the ancestral hall and family as the most important thing in their lives, even modern people, many divorced because women were unable to bear children.

Children are a hurdle that countless people cannot overcome.

Don't be too demanding on yourself.

As for the jealousy and trouble that Mrs. Tai's generous spending may bring to herself, I should be a little more considerate.

After Chun Ge figured this out, she snuggled into Li Jian'an's arms without saying a word, feeling Li Jian'an's generous and warm tent rubbing against her abdomen over and over again, a sense of peace and satisfaction rose in her heart.
