Chapter 64: Hidden worries
There was no reason why Mrs. Liao would not bow her head. This time Gu Changting accompanied you to inspect the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and he only brought his two children, Gu Yuchen and Gu Yuxuan. The meaning was self-evident, and it was nothing more than a warning to her again: Be safe and stay safe.
As a monster, don't always think about killing people with a borrowed knife, otherwise you will end up getting burned.
After two days of peaceful life in the mansion, nothing happened in the morning, and it was a false cloudy day. Mrs. Qin and Aunt Xin Niangu came to the concubine's place to talk: Mrs. Liao has Princess Liao to rely on, and they have no natal family.
Those who are powerful will naturally hug the concubine's thigh tightly.
As she was playing Pai Gow with the concubine, Aunt Gu smiled and said: "I see that the concubine's face has become more rosy these past two days. I was originally worried that you would lose your appetite in the summer like last year, but now it seems you are fine.
.”
The concubine smiled and said: "Yes, the kitchen seems to have changed a lot of cooks these days, especially that Du Sanniang. The food she cooks is very suitable to my taste. I just wonder, why haven't I heard of such a person before? I thought she was
The new guy, when I asked, it turned out he had been in the kitchen for several years."
Aunt Gu played a card and said with a smile: "Hey! I also know that Du Sanniang. She has a straightforward temper and is not a good person. How can she get the food she usually gives to the concubine, princess, and grandma on the stove? Not now.
Likewise, Sister Xin knows people well and appoints her as the kitchen steward. Not to mention that the concubine likes it, we also take advantage of it. That salad of bamboo shoots, no matter how hard she prepares it, I now have to eat a bowl every night. "
Mrs. Qin also played a card and said with a gentle smile: "I'll just give it to the cold bamboo shoots. I prefer her tofu skin and three shreds. It's really light and refreshing."
Xin Nian also laughed, and while looking at the cards on the table, he said: "You guys have elegant tastes, but I can't. I am a layman, and I enjoy all kinds of meat. I think among the cold dishes, pickled pepper chicken feet are the most suitable to my taste."
"
"Yes, Sister Xin likes to eat chicken feet, so I gave you an advantage a few days ago."
Aunt Gu couldn't help laughing, but she heard the concubine ask in confusion: "Why did you take advantage of her a few days ago? Tell me."
Reporting against Mr. Liao was Aunt Gu's favorite thing to do now. Just as she was about to tell the story about the misdeeds in the kitchen a while ago, Xin Nian glanced at her and saw her shaking her head slightly. Even though Aunt Gu was unwilling to do so, she
I had to shut up.
I only heard Xin Nian say lightly: "I like to eat leftovers, so these are the regular dishes provided by the kitchen a while ago. Unexpectedly, Sister Gu is jealous. Since you like it, it's not difficult. I'll ask the kitchen to give it to you too.
Already."
"That's all, I've eaten enough, please let me live a good life for a few days."
While they were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard a report from someone outside that Gu Changting had returned with the Second Young Master and the Sixth Young Master.
Xin Nian and Aunt Gu shook their hands and dropped two cards. Then they both asked in surprise: "Are they all back? Are both young masters safe?"
The person reporting outside the door smiled and said: "With me taking care of you, everything will be safe."
Xin Nian and Aunt Gu both looked at the concubine, and she saw her smiling and saying: "Okay, okay, I know you are worried, put your cards down, and go back to see your son quickly."
"Yes, thank you, ancestor."
The two stood up happily, and Mrs. Qin on the side said with a smile: "My ancestors are still considerate. If it were me, I would not let you go back. I would have to make you so anxious that you beg me for mercy."
Xin Nian stuck out his tongue at her and made a face, and then left with Aunt Gu. Here, Mrs. Qin looked at their cheerful backs, her smile gradually became bitter, and she sighed inaudibly.
She was about to say something when she suddenly felt a dull pain in her abdomen. She couldn't help but hold it down with one hand and took two deep breaths to suppress the pain.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
When the concubine saw it, she asked with concern, only to see Mrs. Qin forcefully smile and say, "Maybe it's because menstruation is approaching, so I feel a little tired right now."
"Then you should go back too. The card game won't work out anyway."
"Yes, grandson-in-law will not disturb our ancestors anymore."
Ms. Qin stood up, bowed and left the door. After walking slowly for dozens of steps, she felt that the dull pain dissipated. She frowned slightly and suddenly asked Li Zhi beside her: "Please help me think about it, have I eaten anything recently?"
What's wrong?"
Lychee shook his head and said, "Nothing. What's wrong, madam? I asked this suddenly."
Ms. Qin thought carefully for a while, then she shook her head and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Now that I'm getting older, it's normal for me to feel uncomfortable during menstruation. Otherwise, the kitchen wouldn't do anything special for me alone. No.
It’s about eating.”
"Yes, not to mention Aunt Xin is in charge of the kitchen now." Lychee still trusts Xin Nian and doesn't think there will be any problems.
Mrs. Qin thought so too. Besides, the symptoms had disappeared, so she put this moment behind her and stopped thinking about it.
Let's talk about Xin Nian, when he brought Yaya back to Qingliangyuan, the brother and sister met each other, they were particularly affectionate, they giggled and hugged each other.
Xin Nian watched this scene with a smile, then saw Liu Zai take out a small box and said to Yaya: "This time I went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and saw many new and interesting things. I also brought a gift for my sister."
After saying that, he opened the box and saw that it was filled with all kinds of knickknacks. Liu Zai took them out one by one and said like they were treasures: "Look, this is a wind chime I bought on the street; this is a wind chime I bought on the street."
The Ah Fu doll I bought online; these are the masks I bought on the street, mine is a monkey, and this butterfly one is for my sister..."
Xin Nian burst out laughing when he heard this, and said to Chunyu Xinghua: "Listen, our six children have really grown up. We brought so many things to our sister when we went out."
Liu Zai heard his mother's praise, his little face was full of pride, he straightened his chest, took out a wreath from the box, handed it to Yaya and said: "I made this up myself, there are many in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
There are more wild flowers than in our house combined, and they come in all kinds of colors, which are so beautiful. I remembered that Aunt Chunyu taught me and my sister to make garlands. After trying it several times, my father wore the unsightly ones, and the rest were left.
This is the best one, I brought it back to my sister specially."
Xin Nian Chunyu Xinghua:......
Gu Changting must be too miserable.
Xin Nian looked at the garland that was actually not very well made. She really couldn't think of what those bad ones would look like. What would it look like if her son put it on his father's head? But this was his son's.
"Filial piety", the poor prince's face must have darkened at that time.
While laughing and thinking, Xin Nian laughed even louder, and then Liu Zai took out a grasshopper cage. There was also an emerald green grasshopper in it, which he also caught personally.
Yaya was so stunned by these dazzling gifts that she almost drooled. When Liu Zai showed all the gifts, she hugged the box and refused to let go.
"Okay, let's take a rest and let's see how hot you both get."
