Chapter 233 Extra Story 1: Pregnant ([-])
But said that today Cui Long's mother came to Beijing because of her brother's affairs, so naturally she wanted to visit her daughter in Shen's residence.The old lady loved the younger generation the most. When Mrs. Cui came to say hello to her, she just left Mrs. Cui to sit for a while, and then asked Cui Long to accompany Mrs. Cui to the Qing Garden, saying that it was just a good spring.

This is naturally an excuse, in fact, the old lady just wanted Cui Long to have a good talk with Mrs Cui's mother and daughter in private, after all the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Why are you so pale?" Mrs. Cui wanted to ask Cui Long a long time ago, "I lost so much weight, didn't you say it very well in your letter?"

Cui Long looked at the worried Mrs. Cui, and couldn't help laughing: "I have it again. Mischievousness is terrible."

Only then did Mrs. Cui feel relieved: "Okay, my brother is also two years old, and it's time to get pregnant again."

"En." Cui Long nodded, went up the rockery with Mrs. Cui, and sat down in the pavilion.The girl and woman who served had already laid out the cushions for the two of them, and put out tea and pastries one by one.

Mrs. Cui nodded inwardly when she saw that these girls and mothers-in-law were orderly and well behaved: "Is my uncle treating you well?"

There was no one else around Cui Long and Mrs. Cui, the girls all retreated down the mountain, and just happened to be talking privately, so she touched her stomach and said: "Everyday is very good, but after I was pregnant, he didn't come into me very much. In the house, it was the same with Brother Huaiyan."

Mrs. Cui said: "Don't be in the midst of blessings and you don't know your blessings. That's because my uncle loves you. He is in his prime, and you can't serve him. If the mood comes, how can you hurt the child in your belly?"

Cui Long also knows this truth, but which woman doesn't want her husband to guard her when she is pregnant?
Mrs. Cui was still unhappy seeing Cui Long, and asked again: "Master, did you allow that aunt to disrespect you?"

The aunt in Mrs. Cui's mouth is Ruixue, and she became an aunt after giving birth.

Cui Long shook her head and said: "That's not true, Mr. Lang doesn't go to her room very often, but I just go there because I'm inconvenient now."

"That's it, then what else are you dissatisfied with? According to me, there are very few men like uncle in the world. I don't know how many people envy you." Mrs. Cui patted Cui Long's hand and said.

Cui Long shyly said: "Mother, I also know, but I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, I only say this in front of you."

Mrs. Cui nodded: "You have done a good job. I think the old lady loves you very much, and your mother-in-law also values ​​you very much. To be a human being, the most important thing is to cherish blessings."

"En." Cui Long nodded, and Cui Long had the best life in this mansion.Mr. Lang is capable, and his mother-in-law is also reasonable. Although he is a stepmother, but now he has a child, and he is pregnant with another child. It is really all right.

Compared with Li Rui who has been guarding the empty boudoir all year round, he is much better, even Feng Shuang is not as good as Cui Long, because Shen Zheng went to the military camp wholeheartedly, since Feng Shuang gave birth to his son, he has been at the border without returning.As for Ji Cheng, it is even worse than Cui Long, it is far behind in terms of children alone, not to mention Shen Che has a lot of romantic affairs outside.

The topic of chatting between the mother and daughter turned to Ji Cheng somehow.

"It's been several years since your younger brother and sister came in. Why hasn't your stomach moved yet? Didn't the old lady and princess say anything?" Mrs. Cui asked.

"Why not? I'm worried, but the second younger sibling is in poor health, and the old lady is used to doting on her, so it's not easy to put pressure on her." Cui Long said.

"Second son is now in his thirties, and he has no child under his knees, so don't you worry?" Mrs. Cui asked again.

Cui Long looked around and said in a low voice: "He has raised a lot of children outside, not only in the capital. I'm afraid he had a baby long ago and didn't bring him back."

"Yeah." Mrs. Cui said in surprise, "Why did you keep it outside and take it home?"

"The old lady loves the second younger brother and sister, and she is afraid that she will hear something good or bad, and she always wants to give birth to a legitimate son before taking it back." Cui Long said.

Mrs. Cui shook her head and said: "I don't think so. Since you are the blood of the Shen family, how can you live outside? You also said that your second sibling is not in good health, but no one dares to mention it. As the eldest granddaughter-in-law, why don't you take care of the old lady? Share your worries?"

Cui Long didn't understand what Mrs. Cui meant for a moment.

Mrs. Cui sighed, patted the back of Cui Long's hand and said: "You child, everything is good, but there is one thing that is not enough, and that is being too wise to protect yourself."

Cui Long frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Don't rush to refute. I'm your mother. Don't you know your temperament? Ah Long, you are the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law now, and the burden on your shoulders is different from others. When it's time for you to stand out, you can no longer hide in the The elders in the family love the younger ones, so it's hard to mention it, but you know what the old lady and the princess are thinking, why don't you help me a little?"

Cui Long hurriedly said: "Mother, the first and second families are separated, how can I meddle in the affairs of the first house?"

"Although this reason is plausible, it is not considerate enough. I think you have always said that the old lady loves your second sibling, but you still feel sour?" Mrs. Cui asked.

Cui Long didn't answer.

Mrs. Cui said again: "You have divided the first room and the second room so clearly, and you only care about the snow in front of your own door, how can you blame the old lady for favoring her?"

Cui Long remained silent.

Mrs. Cui also knew that Cui Long had that temperament, so she no longer made it difficult for her. Anyway, the old lady's love was just icing on the cake for Cui Long.

"What does mother think I should do?" Cui Long asked aloud.Although Shen Yu never embarrassed her and respected her, there was always an inexplicable gap between the husband and wife, and they rarely spoke to each other.Cui Long wanted to get close to Shen Yu, but couldn't do it all the time, knowing that he loved the old lady the most, and often asked her to spend more time with the old lady, Cui Long also wanted to work hard on the old lady, and always wanted Shen Yu to know her goodness .

Mrs. Cui said: "That's right. I see that the second son has never taken a concubine. I'm afraid that the women outside him are not from serious backgrounds, and even the old ladies look down on them. Why don't you secretly find a concubine for him? It's time to let the old lady and the princess take care of her eyes, and she will be good-looking, and she will be a noble concubine to help the second son." Mrs. Cui is considering the issue from the perspective of the elders in the family.

Cui Long said: "In that case, the second younger sibling will probably hate me to death."

"You silly child, what's the use of her hating you? As long as the old lady is happy and the second son appreciates you, that's what matters." Mrs. Cui said.

"Let me think about it, but my mother also knows what my second sibling looks like. I'm afraid I won't be able to find another one in the whole world, and I don't know if I can find someone who can catch his eye." Cui Long said.

"It's okay, if the capital doesn't have one, I'll go back to Qinghe to take a look for you." Mrs. Cui said, "Besides, your second younger sibling is a fairy, but she is not young now, I remember she is a few years older than you It's been a month." Mrs. Cui was very confident about finding a concubine for Shen Che.

In the evening, the old lady stayed with Mrs. Cui for dinner, Shen Che had just come back from outside, and first went to Ruiying Hall to say hello to the old lady, anyway, depending on the time, Ji Cheng should also come.

Looking at Shen Che, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but sigh in her heart, he is really a stalwart man, no wonder he has so many affairs, which girl can't fall in love with him?
Mrs. Cui let out a long sigh, and the old lady turned around and asked her, "What's wrong with Mrs. Cui?"

Mrs. Cui said worryingly: "I just feel sorry for the second son, but such a stalwart man has no children. If there is a brother, I don't know how pleasing he would be."

Who said no, the old lady also sighed.

Mrs. Cui observed her words, saw the regretful expression on the old lady's face, and saw that the smiling Shen Che had disappeared at this time, so she knew that she must have poked their hearts.Mrs. Cui intended to show off, and wanted to make Shen Che's taking a concubine look good, so that everyone would be happy.

Mrs. Cui turned her head and said to the old lady: "I know that the Shen family has great rules, but it's not a problem that the second son has no children."

The old lady was naturally unwilling to discuss Shen Che's privacy with Mrs. Cui, so she just smiled and did not answer.

At this moment, the little girl who was pulling the curtain called outside: "Second Young Mistress."

Ji Cheng came, so naturally we couldn't bring up the topic just now, Mrs. Cui only looked up at Ji Cheng who walked in the door.

It didn't matter that she raised her eyes, but Mrs. Cui was really startled, she couldn't help but think to herself, it's strange that the old lady loves her, and the second son refuses to take her back to the mansion to raise her, such a beauty is really distressing to anyone who sees it.

But with just one look at Ji Cheng, Mrs. Cui knew why Cui Long kept saying that the old lady loved Ji Cheng.

But Ji Cheng was wearing a cherry-pink snow-mist pleated gauze dress, covering her like clusters of cherry blossoms in the morning mist. Looking at the flowers in the mist is both amazing and pity.

How is this what someone older than her daughter should look like?She is obviously a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyes reflecting the starlight still maintain the clarity of a little girl, and her snow-white and tender skin is glistening from the inside to the outside. raised.

Not to mention anything else, the snow and mist grain alone is now worth an inch of gold. If anyone gets it on weekdays, it is too late to cherish it. Such clothes must be worn when going out as a guest, and this Second Young Mistress But the snow and mist grains were made into everyday clothes.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui immediately lost confidence in that matter.

Ji Cheng went up to greet the old lady, and greeted Mrs. Cui with a smile.Mrs. Cui saw that she was always smiling and loved her in her heart, and she caught a glimpse of Shen Che's eyes following her from the corner of her eyes, and she lost confidence even more, thanks to the eloquence she said in front of her daughter just now.

The old lady knew that Shen Che was impatient to socialize with the female relatives, so she didn't keep him, and only asked him and Ji Cheng and his wife to go back to the Jiuli Courtyard to eat by themselves.

As soon as Ji Cheng and Mrs. Cui left, the old lady had dinner with Mrs. Cui, and brought up the topic of genius again: "Ah Long is a good person, she has taken care of the big house in an orderly manner, and now I only worry about Archer, the boss is not young. Well, alas, it's too late to get married, and now..."

Mrs. Cui hurriedly said: "You old man, don't worry too much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I think the face of the second young lady is also a blessed person."

The old lady sighed again, but she didn't see Mrs. Cui answering, she couldn't help but feel strange, at first Mrs Cui obviously had something to say, she thought Mrs Cui would have some good ideas, but at this moment Mrs Cui suddenly changed manner.The old lady is not the type to find out.

After dinner, Cui Long and Mrs. Cui went back to the house, and started talking privately again: "Mother didn't mention that matter in front of the ancestors before?"

Mrs. Cui said: "I was thinking about it first. Looking at the situation of the Second Young Mistress, I'm afraid she might be favored, and she looks like that. It's hard for this noble concubine to find someone who can match her. Waiting to find someone Bring that up again."

Cui Long nodded, this matter should not be rushed.

But Ji Cheng and Shen Che said on the way back: "I see why you are a little bit uncomfortable with Mrs. Cui?" Shen Che had a good temperament in front of the old lady, but today he rarely spoke much.

Shen Che squinted at Ji Cheng: "Oh, why are you so upset? It's not my mother-in-law."

Ji Cheng laughed out loud.

"It's just a self-righteous woman who likes to meddle in other people's family affairs." Shen Che murmured while putting his arms around Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng is so smart, he understood Shen Che's meaning right away, although he was a little angry, but he thought that it was his own problem, and Mrs. Cui's starting point was also for the good of Shen Che.

A few months later, Mrs. Cui returned to Qinghe long ago, and Ji Cheng almost forgot about this person, so she came to the capital again, and brought a distant niece with her as a guest this time.

Although bringing a niece is nothing, Ji Cheng thought of Shen Che's words and heard Yu Qian'er say that the distant niece was very beautiful, so Ji Cheng murmured in his heart.

"Young Mistress, do you want to visit Ruiying Hall?" Yu Qian'er asked Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng shook his head, although she put eyeliner in the mansion, it was just to keep her eyes and ears from being blocked, not to spy on her elders.

"Are you not worried?" Yu Qian'er said that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.

Ji Cheng shook his head, how could he not be worried?But now, even Mrs. Cui's reason for coming is unknown, so he starts to be suspicious. This makes Ji Cheng feel tired from the bottom of his heart, thinking that there will be such a day anyway, and it's better to come one day sooner.

But Ji Cheng and Yu Qian'er are really not suspicious, Mrs. Cui came here this time just to make a kiss to Shen Che.But Mrs. Cui is a smart person, and she doesn't want good things to turn into bad things, so she only asked Yunfeng to greet the old lady, and didn't say anything else.

When the old lady saw Yunfeng, she liked it very much: "Your niece is really well-born. I thought our family's Ah Cheng was already rare in the world, but I didn't expect Yunfeng to be as good as her."

Mrs. Cui thought to herself, if she hadn't been so beautiful, would I dare to bring it to your old man?That Yunfeng was exactly the concubine that Mrs. Cui had found for Shen Che in Qinghe. She had nothing to do with Mrs. Cui, but in the end she went around and found some relatives from 500 years ago.

"She is also poor. She went to live with her elder brother and sister-in-law. I saw that she was well-groomed and sensible. I liked her from the bottom of my heart. Now that A'Long and the others are married, I I also felt lonely, so I took Yunfeng to my side to raise." Mrs. Cui said.

The old lady took Yunfeng's hand and asked, "Can you talk about someone else?"

Yunfeng's face turned red with embarrassment.

Mrs. Cui said: "It's just not there. Didn't you just bring the capital for a walk?"

"Being such a lover, anyone will like it when they see it." The old lady said.

Mrs. Cui asked again: "Old Ancestor, is there any news from Archer's wife?"

"Alas..." The old lady sighed when she said this.

Mrs. Cui said: "I see Archer's daughter-in-law's graceful appearance, and it's true that she's a bit difficult to give birth to."
