wedding dress

Chapter 220 Good News
What a mess.

Xiaodong thought about what Wang An said, and finally came to the conclusion: Yao Qingyuan must be extraordinarily beautiful, and he probably didn't inherit one or two tenths of it.

Either way, she is too beautiful to be ordinary and stable.

It is often said that mediocrity is bliss.

Although there is an element of self-comfort in these words, it is not very promising.But it is true that people who are not mediocre often live too tired.

The rain stopped, the sun flickered, and the sky gradually became hotter.The sixth princess was bored, and rushed to the door with the child in her arms to eat and drink.As soon as Xiaodong saw Luo Cong, he couldn't put it down. He is a fat boy who doesn't like to cry, but loves to laugh. He is happy to be hugged by anyone. He can't stop giggling as soon as he is teased. Bubble spit spit bubbles.

"My sister-in-law said that she is about to grow teeth, and she drools all day long."

The two put the child on the kang and watched each other.Luo Cong tried to turn over, but it was a pity that firstly he was too fat, and secondly his movements were ineffective, he just circled on the spot.He was wearing a green satin trousers jacket, the laces were ripped open, revealing the bellyband of carp and lotus with red silk and white bottom inside, he looked like a fat frog.

"Ah, by the way, I went to inquire about the matter last time for you." The sixth princess came over and said, "Speaking of which, that girl Yin really has a lot of misfortunes. Being divorced is a experience, and the superiors suppress her." It’s another encounter with a strange cousin who hasn’t married yet. I heard recently that the family that divorced before seems to be entangled.”

"What's going on? I've already withdrawn..." Xiaodong thought for a while, "Is there any other things like gifts and tokens that haven't been delivered yet?"

The sixth princess laughed: "That's not the case, it's that the son of that family is not willing to marry another, saying that this matter was not done by a gentleman, and he wants to hire another girl from the Yin family."

"Oh, so that said, this is the son named Wu, right? He is kind and righteous."

"That's useless." The sixth princess rudely rolled her eyes: "He can't be his mother's boss. His mother doesn't agree, so can he hire a matchmaker himself?"

"Who did you hear all this from?"

"Hey, you haven't heard of it because you don't go out. You can find out after you go outside for a while." The sixth princess touched her son's little hand, smacked her lips and said, "If you want to talk about this girl Yin, she still has a good appearance. ,Pity."

Xiaodong also nodded: "It's a pity."

But Zhao Lu didn't mention her again, maybe he didn't care that much in his heart.Maybe it was just a temporary favor, and it was shelved when I was busy.

"Ah, that's right. That cousin of yours doesn't plan to get married yet?"

She didn't seem to care about Shen Jing at all now, as calm as if she was asking for news from a stranger.

In the past, she was attracted to Shen Jing—in fact, it was mostly just a spur of the moment.She knew nothing about him, and hadn't spoken much at all.It really made her and Shen Jing get married, and the two of them are probably also a married couple.

Speaking of Shen Jing, Xiaodong's mood sank: "He... is also discussing marriage."

"Really? Which family's daughter did you choose?"

Xiaodong remembered what Shen Fang said last time, and couldn't lift his spirits even more: "It's also from Hedong, and its surname is Li."

"Oh, I know, the Li family in Hedong is also a rich family." The sixth princess is far from the silly girl she used to be, and she said all this clearly: "It is said that the daughters of the Li family have very strict tutoring, and all of them regard female precepts as three things. Let's have a meal. Tsk tsk, if Shen Jing, a flirtatious talent, marries a wooden wife, I don't know what he would look like."

Cong'er yelled, and pulled the sixth princess's sleeve to deliver it to her mouth.

"Yo, I'm probably hungry."

The sixth princess called the nursemaid to come in and take Cong'er to nurse, then pulled Xiaodong's sleeve and said, "The needlework bureau has changed a group of people, and the craftsmanship is getting rougher and rougher. It's really not as good as one crop. Well, I can't wear any of my summer outfits."

"This is not made by the inner mansion, it is the handicraft of the people in the mansion. Next time, don't ask them to make it, just bring the materials back, and make it yourself in the mansion. It will be good for your body and mind."

The sixth princess smiled and pushed her away: "You treat everyone like you. There are only a few needleworkers in our house. There are not many skilled craftsmen in my house. Besides, there is such a little ancestor added now." Well, it’s not enough to serve him every day, so why bother with this, just dress up and wear casually.” She touched her face: “After all, it’s not as good as it used to be, you’ll know it when you look in the mirror.”

The nurse fed the baby and put him to sleep.The sixth princess smiled when she saw her son, and sat beside her for a long time without getting bored.She doesn't always wear makeup on her face like before, probably because she is afraid of rubbing the child's face.A face looks hydrated, tight, and radiant. Xiaodong looks much more pleasing to the eye than she used to. It's not as ugly as she said.

"Hurry up and give birth to one too." The sixth princess whispered to her, "I saw that you were skinny before, but now it's about time."

"Ok, I know."

In fact, Xiaodong's decoction has been discontinued for a month—but nothing has happened yet.

How can you move so quickly?

"I'd like to ask you one more thing. If you want something new in your shop, remember to keep it for me. Boxing ceremony and birthday gift every year...is really not an easy job." The sixth princess complained in a low voice: "Mr. It's a loss."

"Could it be that Concubine Shu doesn't post something for you?"

"I'm all the water that was thrown out. She has a private house and she has to keep it for her son." Although the sixth princess said this, she was not really displeased.

In this world, a woman relies on her mother's family and her husband's family.Not only Concubine Song Shu has to rely on her son for support, but the Sixth Princess may also rely on this younger brother more in the future.Can those women who have no one in their natal family speak loudly in their in-laws' house?
But my younger brother is still young, and there are too many young children in the palace.The sixth princess is really worried that someone in the palace will wear a mourning belt to report the news one day - it would be great if she had a real brother.

Xiaodong took out the presents for Cong'er, small clothes and shoes, big and small, several bodies.They are all made of fine silk and fine cotton, and the head and feet are all covered with cloth, which will not scratch the child's tender skin at all.The sixth princess held the clothes and thanked her repeatedly: "It's still because you are thoughtful, it's much better than giving some fancy goods, which are all fancy but not useful."

Xiaodong pursed her lips and smiled: "There are still some for you, you can go back and cut them yourself."

The sixth princess flipped through the materials, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, and she said, "If you really want to give it to me, then open your warehouse and let me pick it out. People say that the dowry private house of Princess An's Mansion is the private house of the capital city. First, you can’t be so stingy when you want to give something.”

Xiaodong was angry and funny, picked up a cloth ruler and stood on the edge of the kang: "Don't worry, I won't hit you, I'll slap your son's ass. Tell me, the left side or the right side first?"

After sending the sixth princess away, Xiaodong still feels worried when he thinks about Miss Yin.

Even if she can't become her own sister-in-law, Xiaodong is willing to help her if she can help her by getting acquainted.

Sometimes it's not that difficult to help others, just say one more nice word.

Xiaodong sent Qin Lie to inquire, and the people Qin Lie knew knew much more than Xiaodong: "I know, I've seen it before."

"have you seen?"

Xiaodong came to his senses and patted the place beside him.Qin Lie smiled and bowed, and said: "Madam Xie, please sit down." Then he sat down next to Xiaodong: "It's been several years, by the way, the crown prince also knows him."

"My brother also knows him?" The capital is really small.

"Yeah. I just met him at a poetry meeting. Later, I thought he was a good person—he was really good, and he was not rigid in his words and deeds. If Miss Yin married him, it would be considered a good marriage."

"What do you know?" Xiaodong rolled his eyes at him: "Whether the future will be good or not, we can't just look at Mr. Wu."

Qin Lie humbly asked for advice: "Then according to Madam's opinion?"

"You tell yourself, how much time do you spend at home and how much time do you spend outside? When you are at home, how much time do you eat, drink and sleep? But our women's family is different. We are at home all day long, so we feel panicked. It's no wonder that nothing happened. If Mr. Wu's mother doesn't like this daughter-in-law, let alone she can't get in, if she gets in, she'll have to face a mean mother-in-law all day long, and that day will be called living suffering."

The population of Prince An's Mansion is simple, and Qin Lie's own family is even more so.He doesn't understand the struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law in a big family.If a mother-in-law doesn't like her daughter-in-law, she can think of a hundred and one thousand ways to frustrate her.Leaving aside, this incident is not uncommon in the clan. "That's true..." Qin Lie nodded and shook his head again: "Yes, that's other people's business, we can't control it."

"Yes."

Xiaodong felt a little lost.

After thinking about it, Qin Lie felt that he should not have done it.Xiaodong's words may be complaining that he is always running around outside and spends too little time at home.Before getting married, I would carve something by myself from time to time, but now after getting married, I have nothing to worry about, and I haven't done those meticulous work for a long time.Thinking about it, I feel a little ashamed--when a daughter-in-law is married, she puts her heart in her stomach.You don't have to think about how to meet each other and how to please each day.He used to laugh at others, trying his best to get good things, and throwing them into the box to make ashes when he got them, so he didn't cherish them any more.As a result, I am now on the same old path as those people.

In July, it was so hot that people were dizzy. Qin Lie used this reason to go to the shop less often.Accompanying Xiaodong to draw patterns, completely remodeled their new house, and even found several rare lotus flowers to plant.The two lived in the palace, but they regarded their own home as a place for leisure.After trimming, please ask An Wang to enjoy the lotus.Wang An praised it, and said, "It's just too delicate, and it will be troublesome to take care of it in the future."

Qin Lie said: "It's not troublesome. Looking at the splendor, it's actually all flowers and plants. After this summer, it won't be so beautiful."

Wang An smiled and said, "You two are so free, you should tidy up the garden of the Wangfu when you turn around."

Xiaodong agreed without hesitation, but also issued a military order, and wanted to ask An Wang for a reward.It's a pity that there is no ambition--great ambitions are not rewarded.

After returning from the new house, Xiaodong was sick and lacking energy, thinking he was tired and suffering from heatstroke.

But after the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, he smiled and said congratulations: "The princess is very happy, it's been almost two months."

--------

Uh, Xiaodong has a little bun...

It really came out after a thousand calls.

Add more tomorrow. .
