Xiao Taiji looked at a stack of cards bound with green velvet and light yellow bamboo, and was very reluctant to part with them. The cards were painted with varnish and had the word "Xiao" written on them. They had only been in the Xiao family for a few years. The body of the cards was still the same.

The luster is clear, and it seems to still have the fragrance of bamboo leaves, but it does not have the heavy majesty that comes from being rubbed by human hands for decades.

Chen Yuejiao's eyes also fell on the pile of cards, and her eyes darkened. This pile of cards was unfamiliar to her.

Whether it is Du Heng or Chen Yuejiao, they are all familiar with the torreya pair after Xiao Shi and the Marquis. After Xiao Shi and Guan Fengzhu, the Xiao family became a powerful family in Daqi and soon moved away.

This Yongningfang lived in Chongkangfang, where nobles gathered.

In Daqi, only generals with military merits are granted titles. Military generals are granted the title of marquis, and they all have imperial palaces. The title of Xiao Shi and the previous generation is hereditary for five generations. The Xiao family's marquis mansion is an imperial gift, and it will be taken back after the fifth generation.

, but Prince Yi asked for favor for Xiao Shiji and permanently gave the marquis mansion to the Xiao family. Later, the title and house were inherited by Chen Yuejiao's only son.

In that Marquis's mansion, the cards they used were finely carved from fine torreya wood, with both ends wrapped in fine ocher velvet.

Compared with the pair of bamboo cards with a green velvet border, and the pair of cards with an ocher velvet border, they really don't stand out.

Chen Yuejiao curled her lips in disdain, thinking of ideas in her mind.

She naturally knows the importance of middle-feeding, but Guan Yunlian has just had a miscarriage and needs to be nursed for a while.

However, Guan Yunlian's month was too early, and she seemed to be gone as soon as she got pregnant. According to Zhu Susu's tone, there is no need to really make a big deal about confinement. As long as she stays in bed for seven or eight days, it is enough.

And since it's not very serious, it would be more appropriate for her to take care of things in bed and help herself.

Chen Yuejiao gave Xiao Taiji some advice, "Cousin-in-law, don't worry. I heard from all the doctors that my cousin is not really having a miscarriage this time, so she doesn't need to have a confinement period. She only needs to be raised for seven or eight days. The family's

It's just a few things. It took seven or eight days. I helped my cousin cover it up and it was over. Anyway, there are no big wrinkles. I just don't make any mistakes with the eldest mistress and the old lady."

Xiao Taiji's face was filled with joy, and he quickly bowed to Chen Yuejiao and said thank you: "Thank you very much, cousin. When your cousin recovers, she will naturally thank you." After saying this, he was worried: "If my sister-in-law Yi Yunlian gets sick,

.What should I do if I want to take away the pair of cards because I need to rest?"

Chen Yuejiao shook her head, "No. The eldest young lady is not this kind of person. Besides, this time her cousin had a miscarriage because of her, and she felt guilty. Even if she wanted to get the cards back, she would not act too hastily. We only need to fight these days.

Go over there. Once my cousin can get up and walk, it will be fine."

Xiao Taiji suddenly understood. He smiled and touched the back of his head, "My cousin is not old, but she can understand people's hearts. She is much better than your cousin."

Chen Yuejiao smiled lightly. Although she was depressed, she knew not to act rashly. She blessed Xiao Taiji. She turned and left the main room and went to the back room to guard Guan Yunlian.

Guan had a miscarriage. Xiao Taiji could not live in her room and had already moved into Chunyun's room in Tongfang.

Xiao Taiji did not follow up, but said behind Chen Yuejiao, "Say hello to your grandma for me. I'll go see her tomorrow."

Chen Yuejiao responded, walked around the fan, and came to Guan Yunlian's bed.

Guan Yunlian's face was pale. She had just taken medicine and was asleep in bed.

Seeing Chen Yuejiao come in, the two maids standing guard in front of the bed hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You guys go down, I'll just take care of my cousin." Chen Yuejiao said dullly. She sat down beside Guan Yunlian's bed and started sewing.

Guan Yunlian called "Second Master" twice in her dream, then woke up and stared blankly at the picture of Bai Zi on the top of the bed tent.

"Cousin, are you awake?" Chen Yuejiao hurriedly put down her needlework, helped Guan Yunlian stand up and half sat on the bedside, and placed a pillow with a big red baby scene behind her.

Guan Yunlian felt thirsty, so she asked Chen Yuejiao to help her drink water, then leaned out of the bed and looked around.

"Where is the second master? Has the second master come to see me today?"

Chen Yuejiao smiled and said, "Here we come. Seeing that my cousin is still sleeping, I went back to Chunyun's house."

Xiao Taiji started his career when he was twelve years old, and now he has three wives, Chunyun, Chunfang, and Chunlan. Chunyun is the eldest, and she is also Xiao Taiji’s first woman. She is three years older than Xiao Taiji, and she is already ten years old this year.

Seven years old. Chunfang and Chunlan were originally given by the old lady to the uncle Xiao Shiji, but they were rejected by the uncle, so the second uncle took them back, changed their names, and became the same generation as Chunyun.

Xiao Taiji got along best with Chun Yun on weekdays. He had already said that when the Guan family became pregnant, Chun Yun would be promoted as his aunt.

Of course Guan was not happy, but he never showed it in front of Xiao Taiji.

Guanshi suddenly remembered this matter, took Chen Yuejiao's hand and whispered: "Cousin, is it time for those cheap hooves to be proud? Did the Second Master tell you anything?"

Chen Yuejiao patiently comforted her, "They are just a few maids, not even aunts. What are you anxious about, cousin? When the second master loses his temper, you can do whatever you want with them. Take good care of your health now."

"It's serious to give birth to a big fat boy." After speaking, he said seriously: "Cousin, everything is imaginary, only sons are real. Cousin, look at the old lady, although the master is gone, he still has two sons.

, now he is not living a comfortable life like an old feudal lord."

Guan stared at Chen Yuejiao and suddenly realized that Chen Yuejiao was getting better and better unknowingly. Her facial features were exquisitely beautiful, and her black eyes were smart and moving. As she glanced at her, she looked somewhat similar to the eldest mistress Du Hengshuang.

Guan blinked his eyes, and when he took a closer look, the similar expression disappeared without a trace.

"The old lady is not wrong, you do have a bit of character like the eldest son." Guan stared at Chen Yuejiao's pretty face and faintly said, "The eldest uncle is much better than the second uncle. As an official

, there is no other woman in the room except the eldest mistress. Besides, the eldest wife has a lot of money, and the eldest mistress is kind and generous, so she does not seem to be intolerable. You are so capable, smart, and lovable, so you know that our second wife is just

You are just pretending, the big house is the pit of fortune..." She hinted that Chen Yuejiao should not have Xiao Taiji's idea, saying that Xiao Shijicai should be her target...

The expression on Chen Yuejiao's face changed. She returned to normal. She blew on the body-building soup that the maid had just brought, took a spoonful of it from a white porcelain spoon, brought it to Guan's mouth, and fed her to drink.

Li smiled and said: "The eldest mistress is so lucky, how can I catch up with her? Cousin, don't say such things again in the future, be careful that the eldest mistress hears it, and you don't want to see my cousin."

These words reminded Guan Shi.

She raised her right hand and stroked the left side of her face that had been slapped by Zhihua. She gritted her teeth and said, "You little bitch, don't let me get into your hands in the future!"

Chen Yuejiao smiled slightly and gave Guan another spoonful of soup.

After Guan drank the Bu Shen Decoction, he started to feel sleepy.

Chen Yuejiao tucked her in and waited until she fell asleep. Then she put down the curtain, took her needle and thread, and sat down on the large nanmu Kang under the south window to do some needlework.

The courtyard where Xiao Taiji and Guan lived had no earth dragon or fire wall. In winter, they relied on the large Kang coiled under the south window, as well as the stove and brazier to keep warm.

In the evening, when Mrs. Guan got up again to have dinner, Chen Yuejiao wiped her body and then, exhausted, returned to the west wing where she and Aunt Jin lived.

Aunt Jin had already had dinner and was sitting under the lamp doing needlework.

Seeing her come in, Aunt Jin looked up and asked, "Is your cousin feeling better?"

"It's much better. You can be a director in two days." After saying that, he asked again: "Mom, how much money do we have left?"

Aunt Jin shook her head and said: "You took it all away last time. Now I only have the monthly money given by your cousin, two taels of silver a month. The former son paid one tael to the housekeeper in the old lady's room. Now I only have three taels."

two."

"I only have four taels of silver." Chen Yuejiao took out her purse and poured out a few grains of silver. She felt very uncomfortable. She thought of the exquisite luxury she saw in the yard of her new house, and felt sorry for Du Hengshuang who lived there.

A deep sense of disgust and contempt.

It was originally her body, her life, her man, and her dowry, but they were all taken away by Du Hengshuang, that shameless ancient woman.

Now she is in this situation of being dependent on others, all thanks to Du Hengshuang.

However, it is a blessing in disguise. Whatever she loses, she will get back the same thing, and she will get more than she did in the previous life.

Chen Yuejiao sat opposite Aunt Jin, holding her chin with her right hand. She sat under the lamp and thought about something. She sneered to herself for a long time, "Huh, Jiu Zhan Nestle, she still really thinks it is hers. Let me see how long you can be happy with her."

, they are not all used to make wedding clothes for others. It is my thing, and I will definitely take it back."

Aunt Jin sounded strange and waved her hand in front of Chen Yuejiao, "Jiao'er, what's wrong with you? Are you bleeding?"

Chen Yuejiao's eyes narrowed and she came back to her senses. She looked at Aunt Jin and concealed her smile and said, "It's okay. Mom, do you have something to say?"

Although they didn't have a maid to serve them, Aunt Jin still looked around habitually, then whispered in Chen Yuejiao's ear: "I'm telling you something, but don't tell anyone else."

"What's the matter?" Chen Yuejiao asked listlessly.

"I heard from the maid in the old lady's room that the uncle went out last night and didn't come back all night. He said that the young lady cried all night and her eyes were swollen and she had to wear a curtain today." Aunt Jin was mysterious.

typical.

"Oh?" Hearing that Du Hengshuang was not having a good life, Chen Yuejiao felt that her whole body came to life. She hurriedly came over and asked, "What else is there?"

Aunt Jin choked and refused to say anything again. She picked up the needle and thread and continued working, "What else? There are other things that your children can't hear." She actually refused to say anything anymore.

Chen Yuejiao rolled her eyes, sat next to Aunt Jin, pulled her sleeves and acted coquettishly, "Mom, tell me. I'm old and will get married in the future. If you don't tell me carefully, I'll marry someone else."

It’s a loss, but there’s no place to cry.”

Aunt Jin felt that this was right. They were the only two people in the house. Chen Yuejiao wanted to know those things anyway, so she lowered her voice even more and said: "I heard the woman in the laundry room said that the bedding in the eldest mistress's room is so

It's been clean for several days. Except for the wedding night, I didn't touch the young lady's body at all!"

"Ah?!" Chen Yuejiao was overjoyed when she heard this. This is really good news!

How good Xiao Shiji is in bed, Du Heng in the previous life is much clearer than Chen Yuejiao in the previous life. Chen Yuejiao's memory in this regard seems to be buried so deeply that she cannot feel it. She only remembers that when she was still Du Heng, she was very good at sleeping.

With Du Hengshuang's body, she could be with Xiao Shiji until death. Every time he came up to her, she wished her body would melt. She felt so comfortable serving Xiao Shiji.

Although Xiao Shiji later changed his mind and refused to touch her anymore, and hung out with those little goblins, she would never forget his assets until her death.

Du Hengshuang cannot please Xiao Shiji in bed, and Xiao Shiji will only change his heart sooner.

When the time comes, won't it be my opportunity?

Does she not have to wait so long in this life?

Chen Yue Jiaoxiang's cheeks turned red and her whole body felt limp. When her body became hot, a stream of heat surged out from her delicate flowers and dripped onto her underwear, making her wet and sticky.

This is a familiar feeling that I haven't seen for a long time.

Chen Yuejiao was at a loss for a while. Her menstrual period had finally come, and from today on, she could get married.
