Step by step lotus flower

Chapter 382 Selection (3)
It's the same in this life, Lu Zhongyu is already more than one round older than Xiao Shi, when the old man faces his young wife, he will inevitably pamper his young wife a little bit more intentionally or unintentionally, not to mention Xiao Shi is so tender as water, and he can't help but wait for him. More posts and more posts have greatly nourished his body and mind, which has been tortured by Princess Fuhui for nearly 20 years. How can he bear Xiao's soft words?

When I came back today, I heard Mrs. Xiao blushing and said to him, "I just told the master a few days ago that I will have a child in the future, but I didn't expect to have a child so soon." Mrs. Lu announced her happiness, and immediately went to the outer court to find the old man, and asked the old man to find a real vacancy for him.

Seeing his furious look, Mrs. Xiao called out several times from behind, "Master, you should go after dinner", seeing that he didn't seem to hear him, she just ran out excitedly, and let him go, and she herself They didn't just eat, but ordered people to pack all the meals, and they would eat together after Lu Zhongyu came back, and then helped the close maid's hand to go for a walk in the yard.

Now it is mid-to-late July, although it is still unbearably hot during the day, but at night after the sun goes down, it is much cooler than before, so Mrs. Xiao is not afraid of catching heat when walking back and forth in the yard. of.

Although she was not afraid, Pingxiu's heart was always hanging high. Seeing her walking around a few more times, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she couldn't hold back her apologetic smile and persuaded: "Auntie, although this After a while, the sun has set, but the ground is still very hot. You are very precious now, why don't we go to rest in the house? We are tired and warm you and your little brother. After the master comes back later , I don’t know how to scold the slaves.”

Xiao Shi entered the Duke's mansion alone that day, and the maid was naturally matched to her by the Duke's mansion later. In order to buy people's hearts, she treated him very kindly and was not blindly harsh like the other masters. After these few months, there has been a bit of friendship between master and servant, and now Pingxiu can be regarded as her confidant.

Hearing Pingxiu's words, Xiao smiled and said: "Your girl who is not out of the cabinet doesn't know, but walking around more will be more conducive to production in the future, but the month is still small, and I have walked around a few times today, but it's okay That's enough, you help me to rest on the stone bench under the flower shelf, and then we go back to the room."

Seeing that she didn't insist on continuing to go, Pingxiu hurriedly agreed with a smile, and helped her to sit down on the stone bench under the flower trellis as promised, the master and the servant began to gossip one after another.

As he talked, he inevitably talked about Xiao's exiled father and missing younger brother. Xiao Yin sighed in a low voice: "I don't know what happened to my father now. How can people treat the poisonous miasma in the south of the Lingnan?" And the younger brother, he is only ten years old this year, when Cheng Huan was supposed to be pampered by his parents, but now he is lost and suffered so much... I don’t know if the three of us, father and daughter, will be reunited in this life On that day?" Before he finished speaking, tears were already streaming down his face.

Seeing this, Pingxiu hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, don't be sad, just wait for you to give birth to your little brother safely, and then you will be a hero in the mansion. Then you can go and ask the old lady to try to get the old man back , it is not impossible, and uncle is the same. It is difficult for ordinary people to find a person in the vast sea of ​​​​people, but for the Duke's Mansion, it is a piece of cake. What's more Is the master here? When the master is really needed tomorrow, maybe the master will take care of everything for you without the old man and the old lady talking, but this matter can't be done overnight, you , don’t worry about these things for now, the most urgent thing is to take care of your body, give birth to your little brother safely, and the future will be long anyway!”

When Xiao heard this, she gradually shed tears and sighed: "I just hope this baby is really a brother, and I will be more open in the future."

This is another main reason why Xiao tried her best to persuade Lu Zhongyu to find the old man to find a real vacancy for him. After all, she was just an aunt. , and there is no shortage of grandsons in the Duke's mansion. The old Duke and the old lady may not look at the grandson's face to help her father find a younger brother. After all, the concubine's natal family is not considered a serious relative.

But Lu Zhongyu himself is promising and capable. As long as Lu Zhongyu's heart is on her for a day, the father and son will have the hope of reuniting. If she falls out of favor in the future, she and the child in her womb will not be separated Without support, at least they can still have their natal family to rely on, right?

Pingxiu hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, your baby must be a brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a trembling voice from the other side of the yard: "My servant greets the county master..."

County Lord?The master and servant hurriedly followed the prestige, and sure enough, they saw Lu Mingzhu, who was wearing a red embroidered lotus skirt, standing at the gate of the courtyard. Her face was so dark that water dripped from her face. One could tell that she was in a rage, It's no wonder the voice of the little maid who spoke back was trembling like that.

Not caring about why Lu Mingzhu suddenly appeared in her courtyard, Xiao hurriedly got up with Pingxiu's hand, and greeted him with a smile on his knees: "Greetings to the county lord, I don't know the county lord is here. What do you order?" But he had already raised his vigilance in his heart, and while bowing to Lu Mingzhu, he quietly winked at Pingxiu.

Lu Mingzhu's attention was all on Xiao Shi, why couldn't she see her winking with Pingxiu, she couldn't help but sneered secretly, I haven't done anything to you yet, you are already like this, if I don't really do something to you today , Aren't I sorry for your pretentiousness?So he just snorted coldly, and didn't ask Xiao Shi to get up, but looked at her with sneer and disdain.

But seeing that she was wearing a peach-colored engraved silk beige, her figure was not obvious, her waist was still so tight, and with the jade jewelry on her head, she looked extraordinarily weak and delicate, It can be said to be in stark contrast to the haggard and old Princess Fuhui. One can tell at a glance how good life is.

The anger in Lu Mingzhu's heart suddenly became stronger, and she winked at her personal servant girl, who then ordered the little servant girl who had just replied: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you move the chair with the county lord? Could it be that you want our county lord to be dignified and dignified, but stand up and talk to Aunt Xiao, a concubine?"

The little maid obediently agreed, and when she was young, she and another little maid brought the rose chair over.

Lu Mingzhu sat down on the hand of the maid who was close to her, but she still didn't ask Xiao Shi to get up, nor did she talk to Xiao Shi, she just looked at her newly dyed nails, as if she had long forgotten that there was another man who was still holding it in front of her. Xiao's squatting posture is average.

After a while, Xiao gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't dare to look back at Pingxiu, he could only complain in his heart, no one was going to send rescuers, if he squatted like this again, he would be like a child in his belly What is going on and what's wrong, but what should I do?If there is something wrong with the child, Lu Mingzhu will be punished heavily for it, but she is the head of the county. Afterwards, Mrs. Lu will only punish her maid at best. Could it be that if something happened to her child, it would be for nothing?
