The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 47

Following Kisaragi's intentionally high-pitched "Mother Zheng", everyone in the room turned their attention to the middle-aged woman with the appearance of a peasant woman who came in.

And when Zheng looked around, she saw a room full of beautiful female family members who were as beautiful as heaven, and she almost dazzled her eyes. As for which one was Chu Xue she had raised, she couldn't recognize it at a glance.Fortunately, Ruyue's shout helped, she followed the voice and saw the girl calling herself, and it took her a while to recognize that it was Ruyue.

"Yue, girl Yue! How big have you grown!" Mrs. Zheng hastily blessed everyone in the room, walked up to Ruyue in a few steps, took her hand to look carefully, and repeatedly sighed, "Look, In just a few years, the little girl has grown into a big girl, and the longer she grows, the more beautiful she is!"

Kisaragi suppressed the surprise in her heart, only a smile appeared on her face.

After a while, Ruyue turned her head and said to Chu Xue: "Master, this is your wet nurse, Madam Zheng. See if she has changed so much that the servants almost couldn't recognize her!"

When Chu Xue was still Yue Wen, she often went back to her uncle's house, and she also saw Mrs. Zheng who was with her cousin, so she felt familiar just now, and now that Ruyue mentioned it, she also remembered it.She got up slowly, smiled in surprise and said, "So it's Madam Zheng. It's been so many years, you've come here all right? Do you still remember me?"

Seeing Ruyue turn her head to speak just now, Madam Zheng cast her eyes on Chu Xue. When she entered the door, she felt that there were a room full of beauties, but only now did she realize that the one in front of her was the most beautiful.This beautiful woman with ruoqiubo's pink and jade eyes is almost like walking down from a painting. This face makes a figure flash in her mind, it seems to be the married girl from the Chu family...

But Zheng's mind is simple, and when she heard Ruyue say this, she believed that this was the Chu Xue she had raised.

"Miss? It's really you?" Zheng looked at the person in front of her in surprise, and couldn't believe that this beauty really grew up on her milk.

"It's me," Chu Xue still nodded with a smile, "How is Mammy?"

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Zheng burst into tears suddenly, and she choked up and said, "Miss, at that time you contracted smallpox, it was because I didn't take care of it well, and it's all my fault that I made you suffer such a big crime."

Hearing this, Chu Xue instantly thought of her cousin who died young, her heart felt like a needle prick, and tears welled up in her eyes, she said: "Nurse, don't blame yourself, I'm already healed now, the doctor is good at medicine, my body Even the scars haven’t been removed, even Ruyue hasn’t been infected, and she’s fine now.”

Ruyue also thought of the little master who passed away when she was young, and her eyes got wet involuntarily.But she still remembered to make things right for Chu Xue, and hurriedly comforted Zheng, "Don't worry, Madam, since the master had given birth to the smallpox, he probably had lost all his sickness, and after the doctor's treatment, he was much better. Never got sick."

Mrs. Zheng looked at Chu Xue again, and seeing that she looked really good, she nodded and smiled and said, "That's good, that's good, Miss, you're fine, I don't worry about it."

Seeing the three masters and servants, the people were both sad and happy, and they all sighed because they thought that they reunited after a long absence.But Xu Jinhe was extremely unhappy, she was [-]% sure that Chu Xue replaced Li with peaches, but this Zheng family couldn't tell the difference!She paused, and asked: "It's amazing to see an old man again after a long absence! Madam Zheng, do you see how sister Xue looks now, has it changed much from when she was a child?"

Mrs. Zheng wiped away her tears, looked at Chu Xue again, and then bowed and said: "People say that women's colleges have undergone eighteen changes, and the young lady has naturally become more and more beautiful. If this is put on the street, I will definitely not dare to recognize it. But still Looking at me, our young lady hasn't changed much, she's still so obedient and quiet."

Xu Jinhe couldn't help feeling annoyed if he didn't get a satisfactory answer, so he didn't want to continue talking with the old woman, and only looked at Qiugui beside him.Qiugui immediately understood and reminded Zheng, "Madam Zheng, didn't you bring a meeting gift for Mrs. Xue? Why didn't you present it?"

meet and greet?
Chu Xue's heart tightened.

However, Madam Zheng responded, happily bringing out a few small cakes from the food box beside her, all of which were the ones her little cousin loved to eat in the past, with the strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafting out, she knew it was sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake .

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "After so many years, I don't know if Miss's taste has changed? I have nothing to show for it, so I just made these few dim sums. You used to love these dim sums made by my old body the most. You should try them soon. ?”

The color of Ruyue's eyes changed slightly, and she looked at Chu Xue, what the master hates most now is sweetness...

Ruyue was clenching her fists secretly, but she saw Chu Xue smiled, pinched a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and said, "I can tell from the smell that your craftsmanship hasn't changed. I haven't tasted it for many years, so I'm hungry." After that, he broke off a piece and put it in his mouth.

The slight sweetness permeated her, and she suddenly felt nauseous, almost vomited, but she suppressed the discomfort and swallowed it with a smile, saying: "It still tastes like before, it's really good." After speaking, she picked up another piece, Handed it to Xiao Song Ning, "Ning Ning, this is my aunt's favorite pastry, do you want to try it?"

Song Ning had been greedy for a long time, and now seeing Chu Xue handing it to her, she immediately took it with a smile.

Chu Xue's reaction was beyond the expectations of Xu Jinhe and others. She never expected that Chu Xue would be so tight-lipped that she didn't let her find the slightest flaw.But she managed to bring people here, she didn't want to give up, she still wanted to test further.

Xu Jinhe said with a smile: "Speaking of Ningning, I have a few good things here. I passed by Sanmi Zhai on my way back home today. The candied fruit there is the best in the capital, so I brought a few by hand, thinking that I will give it to Ningning later. Take some back, everyone come and taste it too!" As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring up the plate.

When Song Ning saw the items on the plate, she immediately cheered for joy, but Chu Xue's heart tightened because she saw hawthorn fruits wrapped in rock sugar.

On the most exquisite golden wire porcelain plate, there is a plate full of rock candied hawthorn fruit.

This is the latest candied fruit pattern released by Sanmizhai. Candied haws is a snack that is suitable for all ages, but dignitaries think it is indecent to eat it with their hands. Sanmizhai has come up with this way of eating. Although it is the same method, it is always It is much more elegant to take apart each piece and poke it with a small silver fork.What's more, the core of the hawthorn fruit has long been replaced by walnut kernels, and then dipped in the oily rock molasses juice, it is all mouth-watering.

The other female relatives have already tasted it and praised it again and again, only Chu Xue hasn't raised her hand for a long time.

No one knows why she doesn't like sweets, especially this candied haws.

Because that night many years ago, she was chewing candied haws and returning to Yingyue Manor. Before she could swallow the sweet and sour taste in her mouth, she had already lost all the relatives of the Yue family.When she heard the news of her father's death, when she heard her mother draw her sword to kill herself, when she smelled the choking smoke and bloody smell, her mouth was full of this sweet and sour taste.Such a nasty smell.

So whenever she rang that terrible night, she couldn't help thinking of this smell, which was the smell she hated the most in her life.

She could swallow sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but she couldn't swallow this rock sugar hawthorn fruit.

Xu Jinhe noticed her strangeness, she was sure in her heart, and pretended to be caring on her face, "Sister Xue, why don't you try it? I heard from Madam Zheng that you used to love this kind of candied fruit the most, and I specially chose it for you." Woolen cloth."

Chu Xue knew that Xu Jinhe, including Xu's family, must be suspicious, so she brought Madam Zheng to test her. They must have already asked Madam Zheng about the past of the little cousin, and started with the fact that they don't like sweets ...

She smiled and said to Xu Jinhe, "Concubine Xie for your concern, that concubine would be more respectful than obedient." After finishing speaking, she took a bright hawthorn fruit and put it into her mouth.

She really wanted to use perseverance to suppress her instinct again, just like before, treat the food in her mouth as ordinary food, and try her best to swallow it, but when the sweet and sour taste hit her again, she finally failed, and she felt extremely painful for a moment. The choking smell of blood seemed to entangle her again, her stomach twitched and she vomited out the contents of her mouth.

Kisaragi hurriedly supported her, following her strange behavior, everyone present were startled and all looked at her.

Xu Jinhe finally felt a little more at ease. He was sure that he had found her flaws, and asked, "What's wrong with my sister? Don't everyone else like this food, why do you react so strongly?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Song Ning, "Ning Ning, tell mother, is this candied fruit delicious?"

Song Ning didn't understand what happened, and nodded blankly with a mouthful of fruit in his mouth.

Chu Xue took a few breaths, but she didn't think of what to say, but she heard Ruyue answering for her, "Back to the princess, our master has been not feeling well recently, very tired, and his appetite is not very good, I think it is a bit too tired Oh, even the monthly letter is a few days late..."

In fact, Chu Xue's menstrual event was only three days late, Ruyue was somewhat skeptical, but not quite sure, so she never told Chu Xue, and Chu Xue was also inexperienced, so naturally she didn't think much about it.But right now, I can only use this as an excuse to gamble.

Xu Jinhe paused and looked at her suspiciously.

When Li Jiaoyun heard it, she understood a little bit, and hurriedly asked: "How long has your master Zi Yue's letter been late?"

"It's been five days." Kisaragi lied a little.

Chu Xue understood, and looked at Ruyue in disbelief, but saw a smile in Ruyue's eyes.

Li Jiaoyun hurriedly looked at Xu Jinhe, "Princess, Wantangyuan are all inexperienced, according to my concubine, I should ask the government doctor to take a look at Sister Xue's body!"

When Li Jiaoyun said this, Xu Jinhe knew he couldn't evade it, so he gritted his teeth secretly, but he also said with concern on his face: "Sister Yun said, come here, please go to the doctor."

I don't believe it would be such a coincidence, every time I let her take advantage of it!
After a while, the government doctor came.

Coincidentally, since Concubine Jing knew that Chu Xue had taken the child-avoiding medicine, she naturally put the responsibility on Xu Jinhe, and she also knew that Liao Zhong was Xu Jinhe's man, so she could no longer be trusted, so she ordered Ji Yuan to find a Trustworthy doctors are stationed in Hengwang's mansion just in case.

It is this new government doctor who came today.

This mansion doctor was in his forties and was also an old doctor with superb medical skills. He took Chu Xue's pulse carefully for a while, and with an idea in his mind, he got up and said to Chu Xue, "Congratulations, madam, this is your happy pulse."

Everyone in the room was surprised.

Xu Jinhe couldn't believe it.Although the brassicas didn't kill her, but she took so much in those days, according to Liao Zhong, she couldn't get pregnant in the past two years, it took less than a year, how could it be possible?

She doubted: "Can you see clearly?"

The doctor nodded, "Madam Xue's month is still light, so the pulse condition is not very obvious, but this old slave can be sure that Madam Xue is happy."

Hearing the doctor's words again, Chu Xue was stunned.It took her a while to understand what the doctor meant.

Is she happy?

She has a baby in her belly?

Seeing Chu Xue stunned, Li Jiaoyun laughed, and she told the maid beside her, "Didn't you hear what the doctor said? Mrs. Xue is happy, hurry up to announce the good news to the prince, and go to receive the reward!"

"Yes." The little maid hurriedly nodded, and ran out of the room to the front yard.
