Cui Wan smiled and said: "There are so many people and it's very lively. If there's anything in your way, please come over quickly and sit down and talk."
Cui Jing responded with a smile, walked over slowly, saluted Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan respectively, and then sat down.
Although Ye Qinglan has no particular fondness for Cui Jing, she has to admit that Cui Jing is indeed a woman who knows how to advance and retreat. Although she is pregnant, she is not arrogant at all, and she is still respectful to Cui Wan as usual - of course
, it may also be because the time is still short, and the gender of the child has not yet been born. In short, these wives and concubines are sitting together, and their appearance and temperament are somewhat similar. They look like a pair of sisters.
Ye Yuanwei is really blessed!
After Cui Jing arrived, she didn't say much. She took out the silk thread and needle from the sewing dustpan and embroidered her purse.
Although Ye Qinglan is not a prostitute, she has a sharp eye. Cui Jing's brilliance can be seen at a glance. Ye Qingning and Cui Wan do needlework and they all follow the pattern they have traced. Cui Jing, on the other hand, can easily pick it up and fly it.
The needle is very familiar, and a petal is embroidered in a matter of seconds.
No wonder Cui Wan always praises her for her good needlework, she is indeed amazing!
Cui Jing, who has a downcast face, has a beautiful face and a calm temperament, which makes it difficult for people to feel disgusted. Will Ye Yuanwei be tempted by such a beautiful girl like a flower every day?
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Cui Wan. Cui Wan was very kind and easy-going towards Cui Jing, with a smile on her face. Just looking at Cui Wan at this time, no one would have thought that she was depressed and had trouble falling asleep every night!
With Cui Jing here, the atmosphere is much more subtle than before. Ye Qingning has returned to his usual cold, arrogant, reserved and unapproachable demeanor. Ye Qinglan also talks a lot less. I only hear Cui Wan asking Cui Jing from time to time: "Mother Jing, what are you doing today?"
How are you? Are you vomiting badly?"
Cui Jing responded softly: "I vomited not long after lunch. I just ate some snacks."
Cui Wan said with concern: "If there is anything you want to eat, just tell me."
Pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy will inevitably be picky eaters. The things they usually like to eat suddenly stop eating, and instead they will want to eat something with a strange taste. Cui Wan has been there, so she naturally understands this.
Cui Jing smiled sheepishly, hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "I don't really want to eat anything in particular, I just always want to eat something sour."
Cui Wan smiled and said: "This is a good thing. People say that if you want to eat sour food when you are pregnant, you must be pregnant with a boy."
Cui Jingqiao's face turned red, but her eyes were full of joy.
That light of joy made Cui Wan feel inexplicably sour in her heart. Cui Wan secretly suppressed the dark emotion that she shouldn't have, and started chatting with Cui Jing again.
After a while, Dong Yan, the eldest maid next to Mrs. Zheng, came. She saluted everyone with a smile: "Young mistress, two ladies, Aunt Cui, my wife has asked the servants to invite you to Luomei Courtyard!"
Cui Wan was stunned: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" At this time, Mrs. Zheng was usually dealing with chores in the house. What was she calling them to do?
Dong Yan responded with a smile: "The wife of Cui Mansion has brought Master Cui over to visit Young Mistress and Aunt Cui."
What?
Cui Wan's eyes lit up. She was surprised and happy: "Really? Are mother and second brother here?" Cui Jing also perked up, with a look of expectation on her face. She is the daughter of a branch of the Cui family. She should be called
He is called aunt. Since Dongyan said that He came here specially to visit, she naturally included herself.
Although I'm a little sorry that my parents didn't come, maybe it's always a good thing to see my mother's family.
Dong Yan said with a smile: "We have arrived at Luomei Courtyard. My wife has ordered my servants to ask the young mistress and the ladies to come over quickly!"
Cui Wan nodded in agreement, hurriedly put down the sewing in her hands, then hugged Sister Qiao and walked out. Cui Jing followed Cui Wan. Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning walked side by side.
Ye Qingning suddenly touched Ye Qinglan's arm, and said with an ambiguous smile: "Brother Cui Shi is here too." Cui Yu has never been so diligent before!
Ye Qinglan just pretended that he didn't hear what she meant, and smiled nonchalantly: "Autumn will be here in more than two months. He is not busy reviewing books, and he has free time to run around."
"Why are you running around?" Ye Qingning finally caught the opportunity to make fun of Ye Qinglan. How could he let it pass? He winked and smiled and said: "Let alone Qiu Wei, even if it is a palace examination, my sweetheart is not important."
It's a pity that Ye Qinglan doesn't understand the meaning of blushing at all. She even pretended to be surprised when she followed Ye Qingning's words: "Who is Cui Shixiong's sweetheart? Do I know her?"
…
Well, compared to the thickness of her skin, she is no match for Shi Mei!
Ye Qingning rolled his eyes and finally shut up.
The two of them tried their best to keep the whispers down, and Cui Wan also faintly heard some of them, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. Probably everyone could see his brother's youthful thoughts. It's just that no one exposed this layer.
Ye Qinglan is still young now. After this year, her third uncle and three aunt are back, and it will not be too late for her mother to come to propose marriage.
Soon we arrived at Luomei Courtyard. As soon as we entered the courtyard, we heard voices coming from the main hall. One of them was Mrs. Zheng, and the other was a familiar voice. Who else could it be if it wasn't my mother, Mrs. He?
Cui Wan unconsciously walked a little faster, and a smile appeared on her face. After entering the main hall, she first saluted Mr. Zheng, and then saluted Mr. He.
Cui Jing followed closely behind and bowed solemnly.
Mr. He nodded with a smile, his eyes moved around Cui Jing's flat belly, and then moved away calmly. He exchanged a knowing smile with Mr. Zheng.
The young man in Tsing Yi sitting next to He was naturally hard to ignore. From the moment Ye Qinglan stepped into the main hall, his face lit up, and he looked at Ye Qinglan infatuatedly and couldn't bear to blink.
Ye Qingning tried hard to hold back her laughter, and deliberately touched Ye Qinglan, joking in a low voice: "Ten sister, people are looking at you eagerly, why don't you go over and say hello to them?"
Ye Qinglan quickly glared at Ye Qingning who was watching the show, then walked forward with a smile, saluted Mr. He, and politely greeted Cui Yu: "Brother Cui Shi, long time no see."
Cui Yu's dull nature showed up again, and he replied without thinking: "It's two months and three days." The last time he saw her was when Cui Jing was married. He came to see her shamelessly by seeing her off.
.
Wow, I remember it so clearly!
Ye Qingning was happy and winked at Ye Qinglan. Look at how much affection someone has for you, how many days they haven't seen you can still be clearly remembered!
Zheng and He clearly heard it, but they both pretended not to hear anything and exchanged polite greetings.
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to smile as if nothing had happened. One of the social tips is, no matter what kind of embarrassing situation you encounter, just smile. If you behave gracefully, there will be no such thing as embarrassment.
It's a pity that Cui Yu didn't understand Ye Qinglan's painstaking efforts at all. Seeing Ye Qinglan smile and say nothing, he just thought that Ye Qinglan didn't believe what he said, so he said seriously: "Ten sisters, I didn't lie to you. It was exactly 10 years since we last met
Two months and three days! I remember the date every day!"
…
Cui Wan couldn't bear to see her brother's stupid look and turned her head to the side. Cui Jing lowered her head and pursed her lips and snickered. The expressions on the faces of He and Zheng were also very exciting. However, Cui Yu's voice was very loud, and he pretended not to hear.
no.
No matter how thick-skinned Ye Qinglan was, she couldn't help everyone's knowing looks and ambiguous smiles. She glanced at Cui Yu with some embarrassment.
There are so many people here. If you say less, will you die? Will you die?!
Cui Yu was finally not so dull that he couldn't even see such an obvious look. He smiled and felt annoyed. Hey, why did he say the wrong thing again! She must have been so annoyed that she didn't want to pay attention to him...
After Cui Yu shut up, Ye Qinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps back naturally, and stood beside Ye Qingning. She made up her mind not to talk anymore.
With Cui Yu around, talking is a very dangerous thing!
He had more important things at this time, so he didn't pay too much attention to the young couple. He smiled and said to Zheng: "Since I received the good news that day, I thought that I must come to the house to see Wan.
Mom and Jing Niang. They finally have some free time today, and they came here without even saying hello. They caused trouble to my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Zheng laughed quickly and said: "What are you talking about? I can't invite such distinguished guests even if I want to!"
The two of them exchanged polite polite words for a moment, but in fact they knew each other's feelings very well.
Mrs. He made a special trip to visit her, because visiting Cui Jing was the second most important thing, and supporting Cui Wan was the most important thing! She must be worried that her daughter would be wronged because of Cui Jing's pregnancy. Mrs. Zheng thought secretly.
In fact, Mr. He is really worried. Cui Wan is the wife of Ye Yuanwei. Even if Cui Jing is lucky enough to give birth to the eldest son of a concubine, this will never change. What's more, Ye Yuanwei doesn't forget about the old one when he has a new one.
Kind of a heartless person.
A series of thoughts also flashed through He's mind.
Cui Jing was selected at that time, firstly because of Cui Jing's good looks, and secondly because Cui Jing's mother had given birth to three sons, so Cui Jing should naturally have a good childbirth. Facts have proved that Cui Jing lived up to expectations.
, there was joy as soon as I passed the door.
When he first heard the good news, Mr. He was indeed very happy. But after a few days, he slowly recovered and began to feel sorry for his daughter Cui Wan again. After thinking about it, he finally decided to pay a visit to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion.
With today's visit.
In front of Madam Zheng, Madam He praised Cui Jing, and then smiled and ordered the accompanying maid and lady to bring over all the expensive tonics she had prepared.
Cui Jing hurriedly smiled and thanked her. She had received a lot of rewards these days, most of which were supplements and the like. She estimated that they would not be able to use them all even after the child was born.
After chatting for a while, Ms. Zheng smiled and said: "I still have some chores to deal with, so I can't talk to my mother-in-law much. I'll just let Mrs. Cui sit with you for a while."
This is exactly what He wants. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
