Chapter 728 News about Zeng Ning
The next day, Qi Lan also borrowed thirty people from Chu Lin to clean the house. Then, on the day before the Lantern Festival, the Zheng family moved into the big house.
On the day of the move, Chu Lin knew that Qi Lan's family didn't have many servants, so she took dozens of her men to help. He Donglin also brought a dozen guards who were resting that day to help carry things.
I heard from Chu Lin that it was a lively day. Qi Lan also ordered more than ten banquets in the restaurant and sent them back to the newly purchased house to eat. Everyone did not disperse until the curfew was approaching.
Unfortunately, Chu Jingqi said that there were too many people and was afraid of bumping into her, so she wouldn't let Xia Zihan go.
Xia Zihan was depressed at home all day. The next day was the Lantern Festival and it snowed heavily, making it inconvenient to go out.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, before dawn, Chu Jingqi got up to wash up, put on court clothes, and went to the morning court.
When leaving, he told her uneasy, "It snowed yesterday, and the temperature has dropped again today. The weather is cold and the ground is slippery. Don't go out. Stay in the greenhouse and make more spring gifts for me." Clothes, I don’t even have enough spring clothes.”
You have ten boxes of clothes. Isn’t that enough?
Xia Zihan was very angry.
She knew that Chu Jingqi must be worried that she would secretly go to Qi Lan's house to play alone, so he deliberately found something for her to do.
This bastard...
She gritted her teeth angrily and said, "Don't worry, I won't go out if you're not at home."
Chu Jingqi then leaned forward and kissed her on the lips and said, "Be good, stay at home and don't let me worry. I will come back early to have dinner with you at noon."
"Got it."
Xia Zihan's tone was bad, but she felt sweet in her heart. As soon as Chu Jingqi left, she fell asleep. After getting up, after eating, she obediently held a half-made piece of clothing and brought it with her. I took some maids to the flower hall to do needlework.
In the morning, Mrs. Liao came to visit her, bringing a large bag of healing herbs and two pairs of children's clothes.
Mrs. Liao said with a smile, "I wanted to come on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but the Liao family has many relatives. Before the Lantern Festival, relatives came to the house every day, and it was difficult for me to go out. Only then did I come after the Lantern Festival. .”
Then he asked, "How is it? Are the children obedient? I heard that you were tortured a lot before and after the Chinese New Year. Are you still tortured now?"
"Did Fang girl tell you?" In the past two days, my mother has been thinking about making chicken soup and fish soup for me to drink. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Zihan got a headache.
Her symptoms of morning sickness have really gone away. She has stopped vomiting in the past two days, and soon after eating, she feels hungry and needs to eat again.
The most terrible thing is that Zhuo started to feed her soup eight times a day.
She was almost drunk. "Pregnant women should take more supplements. If you don't take supplements, the baby will grow bigger. Your belly doesn't look like a four-month-old baby. It looks like a six-month-old baby. Is it too big?" Mrs. Liao stared at her. He looked at Xia Zihan's belly and studied it for a long time before he couldn't help but say it.
Xia Zihan pursed her lips and smiled, "They are twins, so their bellies are naturally bigger than other pregnant women."
"Oh, this is a double happiness." Mrs. Liao muttered in surprise, "Chu family, oh, no, this is the first time twins have appeared in the Chu family. It should be the inheritance of twins in your mother-in-law's family. Maybe , if you get pregnant for the second time, you will still have twins. This is a blessing. Twins are good. If you give birth to one child, you will have one child. If you give birth to two children at once, this is a blessing. "
Mrs. Liao was very happy, as if the person who was pregnant with twins was her own daughter.
Xia Zihan could also feel that Mrs. Liao really cared about her. She frowned and said, "Please stay for lunch and call my mother over. We will be together. I will tell the cook to cook as many dishes as you like." Dishes.”
"No, don't worry about me. I can eat whatever I want. I won't be picky. You should pay more attention to the two in your belly and cook more of what they like to eat." Mrs. Liao said with a smile on her face, "It just so happens that I haven't gone to pay my respects to the princess yet. You don't need to ask her to come. I'll go over and you can just ask a maid to lead the way for me."
As soon as the words fell, the man stood up.
Xia Zihan knew that she was a cheerful person and was not polite to her, so he asked Chu Meng to lead her.
Lunch was placed in the flower room. After the meal, the three women moved to the flower hall. The maids had packed up the sewing boxes and other items on the hot kang, cleaned them, and set out refreshments.
The three of them gathered around the short table and sat on the hot kang to drink tea. Mrs. Liao mentioned Zeng Ning.
"I heard from Sister Fang that she has lived a very good life in the Tian family in the past few years. The Tian family is afraid of the power of the Chu family and your Chu family. It can be said that they provide for her just like they provide for their ancestors, but she does not hesitate. Fu, I despise Young Master Tian. I despise Young Master Tian. Then, I also disliked my husband's family for being a small landowner in the village. I disliked and looked down on him in many ways. Last time, the second young master of the Tian family failed in the examination, so the master of the Tian family opened a school for him in Lianghuaicheng and let him be a teacher. Gone.”
"When Zeng Ning found out about it, she desperately said that the Tian family master had ruined her husband's career. She said that the people in the Tian family had bad intentions and did not want her husband to continue to take the imperial examination. She did not want her husband to be a high-ranking official and receive a generous salary. She called the person who had troubled the Tian family a People are on their backs and horses are jumping, and chickens are flying and dogs are jumping.”
"Tell me, whoever has such a daughter-in-law would be fatal."
"Years ago, she went to see Brother Ran and wanted him to take her back to Beijing. Tell me, when she did such a thing, did Brother Ran dare to take her back to Beijing? She was afraid that if she returned to Beijing, Mr. Chu No one would let her in, and Brother Ran couldn’t take her back to Beijing, so he sent someone to take her back.”
"Unexpectedly, she stood at the door of the Yamen and scolded my sister Fang, saying that sister Fang couldn't tolerate her and that my sister-in-law would be kicked out when she returned to her brother's house. What do you think this is? ?”
Standing at the door of the Yamen, he scolded Liao Fangyi, which made Zeng Yiran and Liao Fangyi almost lose their shame. But Zeng Ning was barefoot, not afraid of anything, and could risk anything. She was shameless, so she did it. They have no face either.
Liao Fangyi also had a fierce temper. She wanted to go out to quarrel with her, but her personal nanny held her back. Later, Zeng resolutely sent two guards, tied her up, blocked her mouth, and left her alone. Sent back to her husband's house.
"The steward sent by Brother Ran repeatedly told Mrs. Tian to keep an eye on Zeng Ning and not let her go out to mess around again. I guess that after this, the Tian family people also saw something, and they are sure of Zeng Ning. She will look at her differently, Zeng Ning’s good life was ruined by her own troubles.”
"You said, the child is over one year old, why is she still bothering?" Mrs. Liao looked very angry.
