The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 143

She smiled and told Seventh Lady, "Silang and Wulang's birthdays are coming up. Although it is not good to make a big show of children's families, it is necessary to cook some longevity noodles for them. Besides, I think they can also put on the genealogy Now, this name still needs to be taken. The Duke said that Fengjia should take it by herself, and you and his young couple should hurry up and take a look at it.”

Qin Niangzi responded with a smile, "I will discuss it with the prince when I go back."

Can't help but glance at the Fifth Young Madam again.

Fifth Young Madam smiled at Qin Niangzi with crooked eyebrows, "This is a big deal, Sixth Brother and Sister, don't delay."

Seventh Lady also smiled at her, "Fifth Sister-in-Law is right, Xiao Qi knows that well."

While speaking, he looked at the young lady from the end of his eyes.

The eldest young lady was as usual, as calm as stagnant water.

Mrs. Xu's reaction is also in line with her character.

She is not in good spirits today, she just casually said a few words about family affairs to her daughters-in-law, and then sent them back to rest, leaving only Seventh Lady to talk.

"Look how much Feng Jia loves you!" The first sentence made Qiniangzi blush. "It's still wounded!"

The second sentence asked Qin Niangzi, "When is the little day?"

I really look forward to Sun's eagerness.

Qin Niangzi tried her best to suppress her blushing and told Mrs. Xu, "Little days are not very accurate. According to common sense, it will be four or five days later."

Mrs. Xu became more and more joyful, and took Qin Niangzi's hand and taught her, "Okay, I will teach you the calculation, the ten days before the little day is the easiest to conceive... those two little days in your yard, what do you think?" Count it too!"

Mrs. Xu's words can be regarded as a heart-to-heart confession.

Qin Niangzi can calculate the dangerous period of the two couples, so of course she holds their reproductive rights in the palm of her hand. Combined with Bizitang, it can be said that it is almost foolproof.Let whoever you want to live, let him live.

It was only after hearing her words that Qin Niangzi remembered that there were still two big girls living in the side courtyard of Mingde Hall—she was so confused these days that she didn't think about Xu Fengjia's return, and she didn't care about them. It was good news for the two of them.

She sighed secretly, made a note in her heart, and then kindly thanked Madam Xu for reminding, "Thank you for your teaching!"

Mrs. Xu's attitude towards Qin Niangzi was obviously more intimate and casual. She turned her face again, looked at the hickey next to her ear, and giggled, "Oh, this child is still so straightforward. I'm afraid others won't see it. Come out, you..."

Halfway through the conversation, seeing that Miss Seven was blushing, she stopped talking and just praised her, "You look much more charming!" Then he asked with a smile, "Did Feng Jia bring home any local products? Seventh and Eighth Young Masters are the same age. Lang came to pay his respects early in the morning, expecting to find some local products to eat here."

"I came back late yesterday. When I got up this morning, Shi... Shengluan has gone out." Qin Niangzi changed her words, "I haven't asked him yet, my daughter-in-law will go back and have a look. I also need to ask the old mother to advise the portion."

Mrs. Xu gave Qinianzi an extra look, smiled with satisfaction, and softened her attitude towards Qinianzi again.

"Okay, okay." She patted Qiniangzi's hand and smiled from the bottom of her heart. "You little couple and He Meimei, my mother is so happy to see it!"

Although Qin Niangzi also hoped to gain Mrs. Xu's favor, she was not very happy after hearing her approval.

"Grandmother..." She repeated Mrs. Ni's urging to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu also thought it was true, "Your grandmother is right, Shiro and Goro are two years old, and it's time for them to be included in the family tree. How to come up with this name, you have to discuss it with Fengjia as soon as possible."

The grandchildren of Xu's family follow the "he" generation, if there is no exception, Shiro and Goro should also follow the "he" generation.

However, Xu Fengjia's elder brother and younger brother all used the word 'Yu', but he did not follow the trend, and Qin Niangzi didn't know if this was the Xu family's rule: the son or the future son, naming is not out of sequence.

"Daughter-in-law thought, father..." She asked Mrs. Xu tentatively.

Mrs. Xu's complexion became a little darker, "Silang and Wulang are twin brothers after all... Fengjia is getting older too, and you have to learn to make decisions for yourself in many things."

Qin Niangzi immediately understood Mrs. Xu's subtext.

She frowned, and responded in a low voice, "My wife knows what to do."

It is true that only Xu Fengjia's biological father can handle this matter, so that people will not lose their tongues.

Mrs. Xu said a few more words, and sent Seventh Lady back to Mingde Hall to rest: "Go back and rest! If you are still not feeling well tomorrow, don't come out to say hello."

In the past, I worked hard in the morning and evening, in order not to cause too many troubles.Now that Xu Fengjia is back in Beijing, Qin Niangzi's life suddenly becomes more comfortable.

She pulled her lips and thanked Mrs. Xu, "Mother is still considerate of daughter-in-law."

He really just spent the whole day resting in Mingde Hall.

At dusk, Bai Lu was called in to speak.

Bai Lu has been married for a year or two, and she has already given birth to a child. Her face is rounder, and she looks like Mama Liang's blessing.After meeting with Seventh Lady, he couldn't wait to ask, "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Seeing her earnest expression, Qin Niangzi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Liang's mother is still obedient and has no intention of leaking this conversation.

For a moment, she also felt a little bit troubled: it was her temporary idea to ask Bai Lu to be with her, but she may not have a special place in Mingde Hall.

She never dared to underestimate the maid who went out beside her. She didn't have any real skills, so she couldn't get Bai Lu's position.Taking an insignificant errand to perfuse her, although it can be perfunctory for a while, but after a long time, Bai Lu may not become suspicious.

Qin Niangzi's heart suddenly moved.

She laughed.

I was so stupid that I didn't turn the corner.

"You also know that Mrs. Liang is an old lady by my wife's side." She smiled and held Bai Lu's hand. "As far as I know, the old lady next to Third Aunt and Mrs. Liang are old acquaintances."

Bai Lu froze for a moment, showing a thoughtful expression, and listened to Qiniangzi's continuation.

"Of course the old mother is a celebrity, but the dowry around the third aunt was always not so popular. After so many years, the companions got married and multiplied in the mansion, and the masters and masters were very different. Among the servants, they may not just leave. so far away..."

Seeing Bai Lu's expressionless face, Qin Niang felt relieved: After a few years of experience after marriage, this girl has become more and more spirited.

"The errands I give you won't be too dignified or onerous for the time being. Don't live in the mansion. I'll pay you to rent a house in the neighboring Si Tiao Hutong. When you're free, you can drop by... How to do it, don't you need me to teach you?"

Most of the people living in Si Tiao Hutong are descendants of the Xu family.

Bai Lu smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, girl, I'm used to this kind of thing."

She was originally good at delivering news, and in the past few years she followed Mama Liang to do personnel affairs, and she was even better at communicating. This kind of thing is of course her forte.

Qin Niangzi sighed in relief, "Fortunately, you have gone to Beijing, otherwise I really have no one to use!"

He also told Bai Lu, "Don't worry about your man, the dowry Zhuangzi still has few people in charge, and I also intend to find a few stores in the capital... There are too many places that lack people! Just do things with peace of mind, and I can't treat you badly."

"Young lady, what are you talking about?" Bai Lu turned around and blamed Qin Niangzi, "I still don't know what you are?"

She blushed, lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, "When you got married, you gave me the honor, even my mother-in-law was shocked..."

Seventh Lady laughed from the bottom of her heart.

When she was about to speak, she could only hear Li Xia's voice outside the house, "The eldest son is back."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Fengjia strode into the room, taking off his coat while entering the door.Seventh Lady hurriedly waved her hand at Bai Lu, sent her away, and went forward to hang up the fourth-rank military general's make-up uniform: Xu Fengjia didn't like outsiders coming in and out of the house, so she had to straighten his clothes by herself.

"Why did you leave the palace so early?" She asked after seeing Bai Lu closed the door.

"The emperor was haunted by Mr. Jiao Ge early in the morning, and he still hasn't come out of the Huagai Palace." Xu Fengjia sighed, "I'm impatient to wait, so I'll go in and look for him tomorrow morning."

When talking about the emperor, his tone seemed to be casual, as if this unpredictable nine-five-year-old was just a childhood playmate to him.

Qin Niangzi raised her eyebrows at Xu Fengjia while pouring tea for him.

"Then at Menghuaxuan this morning..."

Xu Fengjia seemed to have finally understood what Qiniangzi meant.

"Oh!" He nodded and forced a smile. "Father has already let go. As long as the Nanyang matter can be explained clearly to the emperor, he will not have another word."

Seventh Lady breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Xu Fengjia expectantly, waiting for him to continue to explain.

Xu Fengjia wiped his face wearily, then stared at the tea bowl in front of him, lost his mind for a long time, and then slowly asked Qin Niangzi.

"Do you know why father changed his tune?"

Seventh Lady was silent expectantly.

"Mother has done a lot of water grinding work, firstly, and secondly, because..." Xu Fengjia lowered her voice again. "There are actually more than three wounds on my body. There is also an arrow wound that has closed on my back."
