"Madam, you don't have to worry, there is someone waiting for you."
"I heard he drank?"
"Yeah! The waiter smelled of alcohol, but the uncle is still sane, so he probably didn't drink too much."
Hearing what the eldest maid Xia Tao said, Mrs. Yao felt relieved.
It's not that she wants to be so lenient, but she is worried that Uncle Yao drank too much and hugged some maid on a whim.
Normally it would be okay, but now that she is pregnant and unable to be close to serve her, it would be hard to stop him if he really gets interested.
Although the two of them had agreed to live with Sister Xin, a person who commits a thief for a thousand days cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days. God knows if any of the maids down there are ambitious and want to try their luck at wealth.
Mrs. Yao even thought about whether she should take the initiative to prepare one herself.
It is safer to prepare your own contraceptive soup and drink it every day, but it is more sneaky and more likely to cause bad things.
With this thought in mind, Mrs. Yao urged her maid Xia Tao to go over and have a look: "Go over and have a look. If the service over there is not good, come back and tell me."
"Yes, ma'am."
The eldest maid Xia Tao didn't know that her master was not concerned but worried, so she responded with a smile and went there again in person.
When she met Uncle Yao and his personal servant Chong'er, the eldest maid Xia Tao naturally did not forget to say a few words to express her master's concern.
Chong'er has been with Uncle Yao for many years. He is not only an old man, but also a confidant. He is also warm to the maid next to his master's wife.
"I was also afraid that I smelled of alcohol and would get madam drunk. Before I even entered the house, I told my slaves to remind them to take a shower before seeing madam."
"Don't worry, I didn't drink much. I was just happy with Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ye. I drank a few more drinks and I'm still sober. When I just came back, I went to pay my respects to the old lady."
…
Hearing that Uncle Yao was still able to go to greet the old lady, the eldest maid Xia Tao knew that the uncle was indeed drunk, but he was still sober, otherwise she would not be able to greet the old lady smelling of alcohol.
I guess it was just a few drinks.
After taking a bath, the smell of alcohol on Uncle Yao's body had long since disappeared. He rinsed his mouth and wore scented clothes. There was really no peculiar smell.
Anyway, the eldest maid Xia Tao smelled it and smelled nothing except the fragrance that filled her nose.
Normally, Uncle Yao really likes to incense, but because Mrs. Yao was pregnant, he asked his attendants to stop incense.
If he hadn't been drinking this time, he really wouldn't have worn fragrant clothes to see Mrs. Yao.
Mrs. Yao was slightly relieved when she saw that he was running towards her after taking a bath. She smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "It's so late, why are you still here? I thought you would rest in the study."
"You haven't slept yet, what am I doing over there to rest?"
"I was ready to rest, but I heard the people below said you were back, so I sat there for a while."
Uncle Yao stepped forward and took her hand: "Next time I ask someone to deliver a message and they come back late, don't wait for me. This time I came back early, just in case I am really busy next time.
Is it too late?"
"I know, aren't you back? And I also heard that when you came back, you paid your respects to the old lady. Before the old lady had a rest, you urged me to go to bed. People who don't know, thought I was
I want to hide." Inadvertently, Mrs. Yao picked out the fact that the people below were inquiring about his whereabouts, so that he would know it well, so as not to open up old scores in the future.
"Did Chong'er tell your people? I knew that guy was just a pickpocket, and he knew how to target you." Although he was scolding, he was scolding him with a smile. Obviously, Yao Da didn't take this matter to heart.
superior.
He didn't feel that he had anything that he couldn't reveal to Mrs. Yao, not to mention that Chong'er was his person. If he really confessed that he was not allowed to tell, Chong'er would not reveal it on his own initiative.
Uncle Yao is still very confident about this.
Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "Why are you scolding him? The people below you have been busy all the way back. Even if Chong'er didn't say anything, others would. He told me before others, but it was just for you.
, I just want to give you a good deal."
"You are my wife. If he doesn't behave well towards you, who else does he want to behave towards?"
Such words made Mrs. Yao smile happily.
The couple sat there and talked for a while.
Mrs. Yao also knew what he was doing today. When she heard that the poor scholar had accepted Miss Yao Qi's marriage, she was not surprised at all.
"No wonder I paid a visit to the old lady before I came back, maybe not to tell the old lady the good news, right? Now the old lady is relieved, the seventh sister's marriage has been settled, and the next one is the eighth sister's. Wait for her
Now that your marriage has been decided, it’s time to consider your precious daughter’s affairs..."
"Sister Xin is still young. We will raise her for another two years."
"How is she younger? Sister Xin is thirteen this year, which is two years younger than her two aunts. When her two aunts go out, she will not be much different." Mrs. Yao said, "Otherwise, you think she is old
Why did Taijun arrange for her to learn housekeeping together with Seventh Sister and Eighth Sister? Is it because they are relatively close in age and it would save trouble to put her together?"
"Not only will it save trouble, but I also hope that they can develop more aunt-nephew relationships before they get married. After a few years, when they get married, they can hold hands and look at each other." As he said that, Uncle Yao looked at Mrs. Yao's belly, "
This child is more than ten years younger than Sister Xin. By the time he can remember, Sister Xin will also be married. Even if the two siblings want to cultivate some brother-sister relationship, I am afraid their fate will be weak..."
Mrs. Yao was startled for a moment: "...that's right."
Before, I only thought about the old lady to save trouble, but now I forgot about it.
She was pregnant, but time waited for no one. By the time she had this record in her belly, wouldn't it be almost time for Yao Anxin to get married?
They are said to be biological siblings, but they have not had much contact with their elder sister since childhood. How can they cultivate this relationship?
I guess they won't be as close as the cousins in the next room.
When Uncle Yao saw that she was worried again, he quickly said: "Don't worry, there are still us. Even if Sister Xin and her brother are so many years apart, they are still siblings after all. If sister has something to do, please do
How can I leave my sister alone with my younger brother?"
"I know, it's just...a little regretful. If they were like Brother Hong and Sister Ling, who grew up together, their relationship would definitely be better." To be honest, Mrs. Yao was a little envious of Mrs. Yao.
Already.
Not only was she favored by the old lady when she entered the house, she gave birth to a son and a daughter within a few years, and now she was pregnant with the third child before her. What a blessing...
It’s really enviable!
I only hope that Yao Anxin will be as lucky as her second aunt when she gets married.
At this time, Mrs. Yao obviously forgot that she had wanted to raise Yao Anxin as a son and recruited a bride.
When the good news came from her belly, and the man and woman had not yet been determined, the thought that had just sprouted and not yet grown up disappeared, as if it had never happened.
