Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 411 Washing tendons and marrow, picking autumn strange (2)
Lin Lou and Bi Yuan had already set off to go back to Shangjing, Ji Chonglian could only let Sister-in-law Liang and Liang Fen take turns to take care of her, and even sent a doctor to see if there was something wrong with her pregnancy.

The doctor has been a gynecologist for many years. He has white beard and hair, kind eyebrows and kind eyes. The old doctor has practiced medicine for many years and has seen Lin Tao's symptoms. It's just that the dizziness is worse than ordinary people, but the doctor told him to eat this thing, and eat it after vomiting , No matter what, you can't starve the child in your stomach.

Lin Tao vomited like this, and naturally it was impossible to work in front of Ji Chonglian, so Ji Chonglian let her rest assured to raise her baby until she gave birth.

Therefore, the burden of Caiqiu is now heavier. Luckily, Liuli and the others can help, but they are younger and less experienced in controlling people. It is honest to reprimand a few times.

Hearing Ji Chonglian's question, Caiqiu blushed a little, but after a while, she bit her lips and said, "Your servant and him... Madam, don't ask any more questions, this matter can't be rushed." There was a bit of loneliness in the words and heartbroken.

Ji Chonglian's heart is as delicate as dust, so she naturally heard Caiqiu's strangeness, called her to come to him, and asked her in a deep voice, "Is there anything wrong with Manager Zhu? If he bullies you, just tell me , I will definitely make the decision for you!"

"Mrs……"

Caiqiu looked at Ji Chonglian hesitated to speak, but her eyes gradually turned red.

"What's going on?"

Ji Chonglian's face darkened, "If you don't tell me, I'll call Steward Zhu to find out, the people in front of me are not just letting him bully me!"

"No, no wife!"

Caiqiu waved her hands in a panic, large tears fell down her fair face, and after a while, she choked up and said, "His heart is not on me..."

"How is this going?"

Ji Chonglian looked even more dignified, and pulled Caiqiu to sit and talk.

Caiqiu wiped her face with a handkerchief, then raised her head to look at Ji Chonglian, "Madam, do you know why his face changed when he saw me?"

Ji Chonglian listened intently, this incident was indeed intriguing, but Guanshi Zhu and Caiqiu hit it off without any twists and turns, so she put it aside, but thinking about it now, it's a bit strange.

"Didn't he take a fancy to your beauty?"

Ji Chonglian asked Caiqiu like this, but saw her complexion changed drastically, with bitterness on the corner of her lips, "What kind of beauty is a servant, but I can still see it...Madam, you don't know that one day the servant picked up his old things, and unexpectedly I found a painting from the cage, and saw that the scroll was a little yellowed. I thought it had been a few years ago, and the servant thought it was an ancient painting, but when I opened it... the servant was startled, the painting The people inside are clearly slaves..."

"It's you? How is this possible?"

Ji Chonglian's eyes also showed surprise, Guanshi Zhu and Caiqiu have only known each other in the past two years, and he has never met someone before, how could he have Caiqiu's portrait?

"That's not a slave!"

This secret has been hidden in her heart for a long time, and Caiqiu has been suppressing it all the time. At this moment, the bitterness overflowed her heart, and she felt that she was almost suffocated.

Just like the scene when she suddenly saw this painting.

"Although the person in the painting looks exactly the same as the maidservant, the maidservant has never worn the green moon and autumn dress. Her earlobes are rounder, and she wears earrings with twisted silk hollow lanterns, and there is a ruby ​​in the earrings." ..."

Caiqiu has always been observant, but Ji Chonglian did not expect that she would know such details. At this moment, she already had a bold guess in her heart, combined with Zhu Guan's strangeness before and after, she couldn't help asking in a deep voice: "That woman is his dead wife?"

"Yes," Caiqiu nodded, but his eyes couldn't hide the sadness, "The title of the painting is Zheng's Yueniang, which is exactly the name of his former wife, so this slave feels that what he likes is not slave, but just Because the servant girl looks the same as his ex-wife..."

Caiqiu said this, but Ji Chonglian didn't think so. She had seen Guanshi Zhu and Caiqiu together, and Guanshi Zhu's care and love for Caiqiu did not seem to be fake. How could she not distinguish between sincerity and falsehood?
Besides, the dead are gone, so it doesn't matter how they look, the living are more important.

"Then... have you asked Guanshi Zhu face to face?"

Ji Chonglian carefully observed Caiqiu's reaction, saw her startled slightly, then shook her head timidly, "How can I ask this kind of thing... Because of this, I have been with him for several months. never got close..."

Speaking of this, Caiqiu blushed like an apple, which was an indirect answer to why the couple hadn't conceived during nearly a year of marriage, and there was a reason for it.

Ji Chonglian also thought of Caiqiu's scruples. If she asked, Manager Zhu replied yes, Caiqiu would inevitably be heartbroken, so it's better not to ask.

Thinking of this, Ji Chonglian couldn't help asking seriously: "Caiqiu, tell me honestly, are you still willing to live with Manager Zhu?"

Caiqiu was silent for a long time before saying: "He looks indifferent and unsmiling on the outside, but in fact he is very caring and caring for people. If the servant girl hadn't discovered that painting, our current life should still be very happy..."

Caiqiu said so because she was unwilling to give up easily, Ji Chonglian thought for a while, then patted her hand and said: "What should you do or what should I do, I will find a chance to ask Guanshi Zhu!"

"Mrs……"

Caiqiu was still a little worried, "If he..."

Ji Chonglian smiled, "Don't worry, I have a measure!"

Three days later, when it was time to pay the accounts at the end of the month, Steward Zhu would always calculate the accounts of the outer courtyard carefully, and then presented them to Ji Chonglian for her to look at.

After reading the accounts, Ji Chonglian smiled and nodded to Manager Zhu, "The accounts are very detailed, I don't think there are any mistakes."

Manager Zhu just collected the account book, bowed slightly and was about to leave, but Ji Chonglian called him in time.

Manager Zhu was slightly surprised, but he still asked respectfully, "Madam, what else do you want?"

Ji Chonglian glanced left and right, Liuli and Yinghong stepped back quickly and covered the curtain, then she looked at Guanshi Zhu and said, "Caiqiu has been distracted by things lately, I just want to ask you if she is not feeling well , or has something affected her mood? After all, she is the person in front of me, she is said to be a master and servant, and she is like a sister. I don't mention this relationship, you should understand it. "

"Yes."

Guanshi Zhu frowned, and his lips parted, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Ji Chonglian sighed, and said again: "Mr. Zhu, I know that Caiqiu's temperament has always been gentle and generous, but if she does something wrong, you don't have to worry about me. A husband is a wife, so you can say whatever you want." Say."

"No, no, picking autumn is very good."

Hearing what Ji Chonglian said, Guanshi Zhu waved his hands again and again, "Caiqiu is the person in front of my wife. She is polite, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and has always been very kind to me, but...but I don't know what happened to her. , she became a little cold towards me..."

At this point in Zhu Guanshi's words, even Ji Chonglian could hear a bit of bitterness, a trace of struggle flashed in his raised eyes, and a trace of loneliness, "Madam, if Caiqiu despises me, you can tell me... Knowing that I am a bit older and crippled, I feel wronged that such a good girl like her has been with me... At first, the adults and the wife tried their best to match each other, and she is not easy to refute your face. Now I have been together for a while, I am afraid That's why I think I'm not suitable... If that's the case, I don't want to delay her..."

Manager Zhu lowered his eyes, but his hands beside him were trembling faintly, as if he was trying his best to cover up something.

Are you afraid of losing?Still reluctant?

Ji Chonglian shook her head. These two people are obviously in love, but the current situation is caused by lack of communication. It can be seen how important it is to be honest with each other in marriage. Without barriers and suspicions, life can be better.

Thinking of this, Ji Chonglian did not answer Guanshi Zhu's question directly, but asked, "Are you still thinking about Zheng Yueniang?"

Guanshi Zhu gave Ji Chonglian a surprised look, and then thought that Caiqiu might have mentioned it before, so he felt relieved again, just pulled his lips and smiled, "Yue Niang is no longer in this world, I think she is just a It's just a kind of nostalgia, and it will not affect my feelings for Caiqiu."

"Okay," Ji Chonglian nodded, and then asked: "Then why do you still keep Zheng Yueniang's portrait, but Caiqiu found it?"

Then Guanshi Zhu's face changed, and his eyes were shocked, "Caiqiu saw the portrait of Yueniang, no wonder, no wonder..."

Ji Chonglian didn't give Guanshi Zhu any time to think, and asked with a cannonball: "Guan Zhu, let me ask you again, did you want to marry Caiqiu just because she looked like Zheng Yueniang? Could it be that you didn't treat her well after getting married?" A trace of sincerity?"

Zhu Guanshi was startled, and then there was a wry smile on his face, "Since I went to my hometown to pay homage to my parents and Yueniang, I have completely let go. If I didn't really like picking autumn, I would not agree to this marriage." ... As for the portrait, I drew it temporarily because I missed Yueniang when I was wandering outside. If Caiqiu hadn't found it, I'm afraid I don't know where the portrait is. Looking at Caiqiu's feelings, she is my wife now!"

Ji Chonglian nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the official green curtain hanging from the top, and said with a smile: "Caiqiu, did you hear that?"

Guanshi Zhu widened his eyes in surprise, then turned around abruptly, and saw a slim figure slowly walking out from behind the curtain, with delicate hosta flowers embroidered on the pink bikini, and a delicate face , tearful eyes, who is it not Caiqiu?
