Yutai Bi

Chapter 263 Midnight
Eh, Wei Xiaowan is sensible today?Cen Sanniang was surprised.

At this time, Ah Qiu urged the girl to set up a meal.Everyone got up and went.

Mrs. Liu ate a large bowl of meat-smelling Liangpi, and wiped her mouth happily.Before leaving, he kept saying: "Remember, the house is too busy, and my aunt will come to help at any time."

Cen Sanniang agreed with a smile.

Wei Xiaowan asked the girl to bring over a stack of children's clothes: "I made it myself. If you don't mind it, just accept it."

The finest muslin is used, and the needlework is exquisite.Cen Sanniang thanked her full of praise.

After the two left, she asked Mrs. Du puzzledly: "I see that the aunt really wants to help. The third sister-in-law also seems to have changed her temper. It's quite incomprehensible."

Mrs. Du sighed and said: "They are friends on purpose. Isn't Sanlang also in the army? There is indeed a lack of housekeeper in the mansion, so that Xia Chu can concentrate on serving you. But, your aunt Enthusiasm, I'm afraid it's easier to ask God than to send God away."

Cen Sanniang rubbed her belly lightly, and thought of someone: "Grandmother. Yan Wan seems to be giving birth soon. She sends people to deliver things from time to time. It's not convenient to go back home. I want to invite sister Zou and Bao'er to come over to the house." Stay a while. What do you think?"

Du Yansui left, and Du Yanwan was worried about her elderly grandmother and pregnant sister-in-law.She is about to give birth, and it is not convenient to come to the house to take care of her.

Zou and Li are at home with Bao'er.I didn't find a good family for a while.Living in her natal family, there is nothing to do.Cen Sanniang liked Zou's temperament very much, thinking that Bao'er was lively, and could also add a bit of fun to Mrs. Du.

Speaking of Mrs. Zou, Mrs. Du remembered that Mrs. Zou had come to propose marriage to Zou Xiongjie: "He is a clever man who can read words and demeanor. It's just that his attire is too vulgar."

Cen Sanniang told her about Longzhou.

Mrs. Du became interested: "That said, she is quite ambitious. Please come and have a look."

Cen Sanniang sent someone to Zou's house to deliver the letter.

When Du Yanwan heard this, she went to invite Mrs. Zou in person: "You have made a deal with Sanniang, can you help me with this?"

He Li went home with his daughter, and brought Bao'er with him.Although there is support from his father and elder brother, and the Zou family has many aunts, there are always people gossiping.Cen Sanniang helped herself again.Zou fully agreed.

The next day she packed her luggage and took Bao'er to the Duke's Mansion.

Bao'er is lively and cute, Mrs. Du likes it very much.Seeing that Zou has removed her full head of pearls, she is wearing a blue shirt with large sleeves and a white high-waisted skirt, with only a set of pearls on her bun.Refreshing and pleasant.The words are pleasing, and I like it a little more in my heart.Zou's mother and daughter were left to live in Zhengqi Hall.

Mrs. Zou is a capable person. He took over the power from Xia Chu, and the Duke's mansion has been well managed.

With things to do, she is much happier than she is at Zou's house.

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion treated Bao'er like a young lady, and Cen Sanniang called Xiao Si'er and Xiao Ji'er to play with her.There are children's laughter and popularity in the yard.The spirit of the old lady is getting better every day.

So everyone is happy.The days are not too sad.

However, Mrs. Liu was not happy, and complained to Wei Xiaowan angrily: "How can a new aunt get close to my aunt? I have good intentions, why would Sanniang hire an outsider rather than let me help her housekeeper."

That's because people are afraid that you will manage the family to cause more worrying things.Previously, I wanted Mrs. Liu to help, and I would fill in the leaks by myself.People don't want to.It can't be forced.With the intention of making good friends with the Duke's mansion, Wei Xiaowan could only persuade Liu Shi softly: "We just want to help, so that the Duke of Guo can treat Saburo well in the future. It's okay if you don't help them with housekeeping, and you can just walk around often Ask about Sanniang's preferences, treat her well, and the Duke will still remember our love."

"How much money will it cost?" Liu Shi was reluctant.

Wei Xiaowan smiled and said, "Mom needs to pay for it. Mother is also thinking about Saburo, so the money is naturally paid by the daughter-in-law."

Liu's anger turned into joy.She doesn't need to pay for it, she earns face, what a great thing.

Without Wei Xiaowan's urging, he ran to the third room more diligently.Every time I either bring fresh fruits or a bunch of seasonal vegetables.Knowing that Sanniang likes to eat southern food, this year's newly produced green rice was also sent.

I can't stand her coming here often, and I won't fail when I come back.Mrs. Du and Cen Sanniang sympathized with her for their son and treated her better.He was even more polite to Wei Xiaowan.Going back and forth, Wei Xiaowan also inquired about Cen Sanniang's habits.

Every time Wei Xiaowan went back to her natal home, she always got together with her younger sister, and inadvertently slipped out the words in her words.

These days, Liu's gifts to the Duke's Mansion are all subsidies from her natal family.Wei Xiaoqing also took out the money and insisted on giving it to her: "There is no reason to ask my sister to pay for it when I ask my sister to help."

Wei Xiaowan pampered her forehead: "My sister is also for the future of my family Saburo. In a few days, my sister will ask Cen Sanniang if she finds an opportunity. Please write a letter to Du Jiuge to take care of my brother-in-law."

After Wei Xiaowan's home went, Wei Xiaoqing couldn't bear it, and said to Wei's mother, "Will my sister be hurt?"

Mother Wei laughed and said, "She is in the second room of the Du family, how could she be involved? Don't worry, this matter will be handled by your second uncle and the others. We women in the inner house are just spreading a few news."

The weather is hot, and there is only a small ice basin in the bedroom, so I dare not use it too much.

Cen Sanniang went back to the bedroom, put on the one-piece maternity dress she made, took off her bellyband and trousers, and sat with Ah Qiuxiachu on the kang covered with bamboo mats to make needlework for the baby.

"Young Madam, the clothes from the Third Young Madam next door..." Ah Qiu took back the stack of clothes at that time, and put them on the outside table without daring to put them into the cabinet first.

"Secretly put it in the stove and burn it. I don't dare to use the clothes brought from outside to eat. I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. It's always good to be careful." Cen Sanniang didn't dare to be careless.

Ah Qiu agreed, and sighed, "What a pity."

Xia Chu pointed at her forehead: "What a pity? If it is sent with a sickness on it, it will be too late to regret it."

Ah Qiu said unconvinced: "You haven't married yet, you know more than me? Do you envy me? Do you want to marry?"

"Damn girl!" Xia Chu spat at her, "I'm not like you, I got married in a hurry."

Hearing what Xia Chu said, Cen Sanniang smiled and said, "Xia Chu, you must tell me who you are interested in."

"Young madam, who is my favorite?" After Xia Chu finished speaking, she blushed violently and lowered her head to part the line.

Shyness and shyness are two different states.Xia Chu himself didn't understand.Ah Qiu and Cen Sanniang both saw it.Xia Chu was obviously moved.

Cen Sanniang winked at Ah Qiu.Ah Qiu understands, this is to let her go quietly.

The three master and servant did some needlework, and Cen Sanniang fell into sleepiness.

Waiting for her to rest, they were supposed to keep vigil at the beginning of Xia, Cen Sanniang drove them out with a smile in order to give Ah Qiu a chance: "I am sleepy and go to bed early, if Ah Qiu has nothing to do, just stay with Xia Chu, you two go outside to chat If something happens, you can hear me if I shout."

Aqiu took Xia Chu's hand and went.

Cen Sanniang didn't know how long she had slept, and she began to dream.In the dream she wanted to go home, through an ancient town.One bar after another, each bar has cats.Some have black cats, some have tabby cats, and some have Persian cats.Every cat stared at her with pale eyes, and under the dim light, those cat eyes made her hair stand on end.

She was frightened and quickened her pace, when suddenly a cat meowed and rushed towards her.

Cen Sanniang was so frightened that she kicked with her hands and feet, and the cats rushed forward in groups.

"Help!" She screamed shrilly, and woke up suddenly.

"Young Madam!" Ah Qiu and Xia Chu were talking in a low voice outside, when they heard Cen Sanniang calling inside, they hurried in.

"Lamp! Light the lamp!" Cen Sanniang called.

The two of them lit two more lamps.

"Meow!" came a meow from the rear window.

Cen Sanniang was clutching her chest, and vaguely heard cat meowing one after another, one after another, it was extremely rash at night.

Ah Qiu and Xia Chu also heard it.

"Why are there so many wild cats?" Aqiu asked in wonder.

Cen Sanniang took the wet kerchief twisted by Xia Chu and wiped her face: "I don't like cats. The back garden of the mansion used to be deserted, and when the Duke and I went there at night, we didn't see many wild cats. Tonight There are too many cats. Xia Chu, go tell Hei Qi and see what's going on."

"I'll go right away." Xia Chu turned around and went to the outer courtyard to look for Hei Qi.

"Bring some water, I'll take a shower." Cen Sanniang was sweating profusely in her dream, she gently stroked her stomach, feeling bad.

Guiyanju is brightly lit.Ah Qiu called Nuan Dong and Feng Chun, and the three of them helped Cen Sanniang take a bath.The people and lights make the meowing from the backyard seem like nothing.

Cen Sanniang was a little tired.She closed her eyes and said softly: "Get up at night tonight. Two people sleep at night. One sleeps on the couch and the other sleeps on the floor in the living room. Leave a light in the room. You don't have to wake me up when you come back at the beginning of Xia. Let her tell Master Hei, Let him handle it."

"Young madam, don't worry, rest early. The big things are not as important as the young master and young lady in your belly. The servant will be here with you tonight and early summer." Ah Qiu put down the curtain with a smile, A lamp was left on the table next to Luohan's couch, covered with a red lampshade.The hazy and warm light was softly scattered in the corner, it would not hurt Cen Sanniang's eyes, but it was also a bit bright.
