Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 257
The two under the oil-paper umbrella walked slowly across the smoky bridge, the bluestone road stretched into the depths of the alley, and the walls of the house could not lock the bamboo forest in the courtyard.

"Jun Yan, the rain has stopped." The woman in white has her black hair loose, and the jade hairpin is lightly provoking a strand of black hair, her eyes and teeth are brighter without makeup, her face is as snowy as peach blossoms.

Although the man in Tsing Yi was wearing an ordinary long gown, he looked even taller and taller. He was thin but not thin, and his handsome face was even more elegant with a smile.

He put down the umbrella in his hand and handed it to the maid Miaoyan who was waiting at the door. Miaoyan was hand-picked by Yumo after she got married. She is not only sensible and well-behaved, but also very intelligent.

After Jiang Jinyan became pregnant, he even handed over all the affairs in the mansion to Miaoyan. Occasionally, Yu Mo also went back to Xu's mansion to visit.

After Xu Junyan put down the umbrella, he freed his hand to caress Jinyan's stomach, "How are you feeling today? Did he kick you?" His slender fingers naturally rested on her shoulders, brushing them away for her from time to time, occasionally floating down fallen leaves or petals.

"Today is very good, it must be that the candied haws just now are very good." Jin Yan smiled and stroked his protruding belly.

"I'm tired." When she reached the lakeside, Jin Yan suddenly stopped in her tracks. She pursed her lips, caressed her lower abdomen with one hand, and held Xu Junyan's hand with the other, not letting go.

Xu Junyan was helpless, lowered his head, and said pamperingly: "If you don't walk more, it will be bad for your body, how about going to the bamboo building? I will carry you up. Yesterday Li Jin sent someone to send Yuqian Maojian Come, I have ordered someone to fetch the candied fruit I made last year."

Jin Yan still refused, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You want to coax me with a little tea and a few pieces of candied fruit? Xu Junyan, you underestimate me too much."

Xu Junyan laughed, and reached out to caress her cheek, "Li Jin is right, it is very difficult for a pregnant woman."

Jin Yan let go of his hand, turned his face away and stopped looking at him, and said loudly with his mouth flattened: "You just dislike me... I will go back to Luoyang after I have a baby. Brother Cheng wrote a long time ago The letter came, and Ning also said that Brother Cheng misses me very much."

When Brother Cheng was three years old, Jiang Shiheng remarried and married Ning, who was a female official and was born in Yangzhou. Ning was in good health, but the marriage was delayed because she couldn't have children. Nothing happened.

Unexpectedly, on the way to Yangzhou, Jiang Shiheng met the Ning family whose carriage broke down after visiting relatives, and this made a marriage.

The shops that Jin Yan manages are also related to the Ning family. Naturally, he also knows that the virtuous and virtuous Miss Ning of the Ning family even handed over Brother Cheng to her after getting acquainted with her, but she also left Fang Mammy looked after.

Nowadays, because of Ning's love for Jinyan, there are letters from Luoyang every now and then, either talking about the situation in Luoyang or attaching Brother Cheng's paintings and big characters.

Just when she was going to be a mother, Jin Yan took Cheng Geer's immature but lovable calligraphy and paintings like a treasure.

Xu Junyan's smile deepened when he heard her say this, and he simply hugged her, "It's not difficult to command thousands of troops, but I can't do anything with you. Tell me, where else do you want to go?"

"Still thinking about your mighty army, King Zhennan?" Jin Yan hooked his neck with a smile, and his low murmur was full of warmth, which aroused Xu Junyan's heart even more.

"Qingqian's letter said, now I'm six months old, it's okay..."

The corner of Jin Yan's lips curled up, his eyes full of amorous feelings.

"What the lady said is true?" Xu Junyan immediately understood what she meant, and hugged his hands even tighter, with a fire in his eyes.

Under his gaze, Jin Yan became softer and softer, but when his kiss fell, he blocked his lips with his fingers.

"I heard that the cooks at the Moon Tower next to the Dongguan Ferry are good at cooking. If I can't eat honeydewed lotus root and lion's head for dinner... I will be unhappy. If I am unhappy, the child in my stomach will make trouble for me. I'm even more unhappy when I make a fuss..."

She raised her eyebrows, and the narrowness in her eyes made Xu Junyan even more eager to stop but willing to admit defeat.

"Bring this cook back to your house for your husband?" Xu Junyan looked at her smiling face, almost intoxicated.

"Husband... the scenery of Wangyue Tower is good..." Jin Yan narrowed his mouth and blinked at him rarely, his foggy eyes were full of coquettish anger, and the word "husband" flowed into Xu Junyan like a stream of spring water heart.

"Come here, prepare the car." Xu Junyan turned around holding her and walked to the front yard.
The bamboo buildings by the lake are elegant and leisurely, and the scenery of Yangzhou City is excellent. This Xu Mansion was rebuilt on a very exquisite garden, full of unique scenes in the south of the Yangtze River. At this moment, the green and white figures are intertwined and reflected on the lake. It is even more like a painting against the backdrop of green leaves and red flowers.

At night, the red candles in the main room were not extinguished, and the curtain was full of spring light. Xu Junyan carefully protected the belly of the little man in his arms, suppressing his desire and fire, and slowly entered.

"Be gentle..." Jin Yan lay sideways in his arms, his ears filled with the fiery breath and the man's hoarse breathing.

Feeling a force coming from her abdomen, Jin Yan frowned and snorted. Xu Junyan, who was close to her back, immediately noticed the slight movement. He stopped, pulled out, and pulled over. Jin Yan frowned and asked anxiously, "Did I hurt you?"

Jin Yan's face was flushed, and her slightly red and swollen lips were even more charming. She pointed to her belly, "The little guy is starting to toss again..."

On the second day, Xu Junyan, who obviously had a very bad complexion, invited the most famous girls in Yangzhou City early in the morning. It was already spring, but Jin Yan was still put on a yellow satin cloak by Xu Junyan.

"Mrs. Xu, your fetal position is a bit abnormal. You must pay attention to rest today. Besides, you seem to have some cold symptoms. You must take this prescription every day."

Xu Junyan glanced at the butler at the side, who quickly took the prescription and left the house.

After taking the pulse, I left the girl in the mansion to rest, and not long after, the attendant also returned to the mansion, "Master, this villain has traveled all over the pharmacies and medical centers in Yangzhou City with this prescription, but he has not found any problems. Come on, this Qin Langzhong is the doctor of Huichun Hall, and the villain of Huichun Hall has also been there, so there is no problem."

Only then did Xu Junyan nod his head, "You did a good job, but in the future, every prescription in this doctor will have to be checked."

The butler nodded. He could see that Master Xu couldn't put it down for this beautiful lady, and he spoiled it to the heavens. "The villain that the master ordered understands." After speaking, he took the prescription and went to get the medicine.

Jin Yan got up and walked in front of him, smiled helplessly, and poked his chest, "You..."

"I don't allow you to do anything, not for our children." Xu Junyan hugged her carefully, for fear of hitting her stomach.

The doctor outside the door stopped, looking at the scene of quietly embracing each other in the flower hall, she was a little annoyed, she took a deep breath of fresh air, and then stepped into the flower hall.

After Xu Junyan asked some simple questions, he wanted to leave Qin Shu to wait in the mansion until the day when Jin Yan gave birth.

Qin Shu wore a simple and unadorned plum blossom embroidered skirt, and carried a medicine box with lowered eyebrows pleasing to the eye.

"Master Xu, don't worry, Mrs. Xu, Qin Shu will do her best."

"I will trouble Qin Langzhong in the future." Jin Yan smiled politely at her, she felt very timid, but lowered her head but hid some hatred.

In the middle of the month, when it was time to reconcile accounts, Jiang Jinyan became more and more impatient, and pushed away a pile of account books. Xu Junyan, who was also reconciling accounts, smiled and hugged Jiang Jinyan to his lap, "What's wrong? Tired again? "

Jiang Jinyan leaned on his shoulder, closed his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, "It may be that the moon is getting older, and I feel a little uneasy."

At first, I accompanied her to settle the accounts together just to relieve her boredom, but now Xu Junyan has no choice but to coax her, "It's raining a bit hard today, and the ground outside is slippery. When the rain stops, we'll go to Wangyuelou to taste new dishes. Mode."

"Hmm... have you delivered the gift to the Wang family?"

The garden where this house is located was bought from an unknown Wang family in Yangzhou. Jinyan pityed that his family was in decline, and his etiquette was never dropped.

Xu Junyan nodded, and stroked her waterfall-like long hair affectionately, "Who would dare not follow what you mean? The Wang family has now moved to Huaizhou, and I have already sent someone to take care of it."

"That's good, after all, I like this house very much."

"Still tired? The doctor said not to sleep for a long time. If you are really tired, you can lie down for a while."

Jiang Jinyan hooked his neck and pressed his cheek against his warm chest. Hearing the sound of heartbeat and the sound of rain outside the window, his heart gradually felt at ease.

Qin Shu, who was standing outside the study with a medicine bowl, saw a plantain plant outside the study being crackled in the rain, and felt a little arrogance in her heart. Then she heard a dark and pleasant man's voice in the study, and her footsteps stopped even more.

It took her a long time to calm down, and gently knocked on the wooden door of the study, "Master, madam, the medicine is ready."

She glanced at the medicinal juice in the bowl, and curled the corners of her lips. Although the master of the Xu family is a wealthy businessman, he is also a very shrewd person. That very common prescription has been asked all over Yangzhou City, but she is not stupid. , of course not tampering with this medicine.

"Come in." Xu Junyan's cold voice reached her ears through the wooden door. Naturally, it was very different from the voice that coaxed the woman just now.

Qin Shu glanced at the wooden door fiercely, as if the sound of the rain hitting the plantains kept colliding in her heart, knocking out circles of hatred, filling her heart that was hard to put down.

Without putting down Jin Yan, Xu Junyan took the medicine bowl offered by Qin Shu with both hands, "Back off."

This kind of indifference and alienation, but with a strong sense of majesty, Qin Shu raised her eyes all of a sudden, and was immediately fixed by those black eyes embedded in her extremely handsome face, which made people unable to move away. Trapped, before she had time to bow her head, she was already stunned in place as if hit head-on.
