In the side courtyard of Tinglan Courtyard, Aunt Mei was holding a spittoon and vomiting in the dark.
Even when she saw Xie Wu walking in, she just tried her best to smile at Xie Wu, and then she held the spittoon and started vomiting again.
"Big sister." Xie Xian stepped forward and called Xie Wu apologetically, but if you look carefully, you can still see the excitement in her eyes that cannot be concealed.
Xie Wu chuckled lightly, "Has Doctor Li been here?"
"Back to the eldest lady, Doctor Li came early in the morning. He also prescribed some warming medicinal materials for my aunt. Now, Grandma Zhou is brewing medicine for my aunt in the small kitchen." Sang Yu, the eldest maid in Aunt Mei's room, said respectfully.
replied.
At this time, Aunt Mei finally regained her composure. She raised her head, looked at Xie Wu with an apologetic look and said, "Miss, I'm rude. Why are you still standing there? Why don't you move a stool for me?"
.”
After hearing Aunt Mei's words, the maid in the room realized that Xie Wu was still standing in front of the bed. Immediately, a little maid came out and quickly moved a round porridge.
After Xie Wu sat down, Aunt Mei smiled weakly at her again and said, "It's all my fault. The eldest lady condescends to see me, but I am so rude..." I just said
At this moment, Aunt Mei suddenly felt her stomach churning again, and she bent over and vomited again.
"Auntie, please drink some water and squish it down!" Sang Yu hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Auntie Mei and handed the teacup in her hand to Auntie Mei.
Aunt Mei took a sip of tea from Sang Yu's hand. When the warm water entered her stomach, she felt that the nauseating feeling in her stomach dissipated a little.
"Was Aunt Mei so happy when she was pregnant with her third sister?" Xie Wu looked at Aunt Mei and smiled.
After hearing Xie Wu's words, Aunt Mei's pale face immediately burst into an intoxicating smile. She looked at Xie Wu with a smile and said, "That's not true. As the old saying goes, a girl who is quiet will feel sorry for her mother. So, I am pregnant.
It was not like this when we were three girls."
"Listening to what Auntie said, it seems that you should have a little brother in your belly!" Xie Wu curved her lips and took over Aunt Mei's words with a slight smile.
"Well, I'm still young this month, how can I tell if it's a boy or a girl? The older girl is joking." Aunt Mei raised her hand to cover her mouth and said with a shy smile.
Although she said this, she had long since determined that there was a young master in her belly.
"Whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister, it is always a happy event for the Hou family, so aunt should take good care of herself and don't get tired!" Xie Wu looked at Aunt Mei with a smile and continued.
"Yes, I remember what the girl said." Aunt Mei responded gently.
The child in her belly is related to her future. Needless to say, Xie Wu will be cautious in everything.
Nowadays, although there is one less Yang in Tinglan Courtyard, there is one more Aunt Jiang. According to her observations during this period, this Aunt Jiang is by no means an economical person!
"I heard that people who are happy like to eat some strange things. If my aunt wants to eat something, just ask someone to make it. Even if there is nothing in the Marquis' mansion, just send someone out of the mansion to buy it!" After saying this, Xie Wu looked sideways.
Looking at Mi Yue, Mi Yue understood. She immediately took out a delicate purse from her sleeve and handed it to Aunt Mei respectfully.
"Big girl, what are you..."
"This is my little wish, please accept it, Auntie." Xie Wu looked at Aunt Mei with a smile and said.
"Well, thank you very much, Miss." Aunt Mei smiled and nodded slightly at Xie Wu. Then, she glanced sideways at Sang Zhi and motioned for her to take the purse.
Although Aunt Mei smiled gently, she still couldn't help but a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes when she just passed the lotus.
Yes, the purse is so flat, I guess there shouldn't be much money in it.
Xie Wu looked at Aunt Mei and smiled lightly, then she stood up holding Mi Yue's hand, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb Aunt Mei for your rest."
"Miss, don't you sit down for a while?" Seeing that Xie Wu was about to leave, Aunt Mei hurriedly held Sang Yu's hand and stood up.
"No, I still have things to deal with, so I won't chat with you, Auntie." Xie Wu refused Aunt Mei with a smile.
"I'm confused. I've forgotten. Now all the affairs of the Hou Mansion fall on the eldest girl alone. In this case, I can't keep you anymore. Miss, please go slowly." Mei.
The aunt looked at Xie Wu with a smile and said, after saying that, she glanced at Xie Xian standing next to her with her slender eyes.
Xie Xian came to her senses immediately. She stood up with a smile and said, "Sister, let me see you off!"
"No need, third sister should stay here and take good care of Aunt Mei!" Xie Wu smiled lightly at Xie Xian, and then she nodded slightly towards Aunt Mei. After doing all this, she led Mi Yue and turned towards
Walked through the door.
It wasn't until Xie Wu's figure disappeared from the door that Aunt Mei held Sang Yu's hand and lay back on the bed.
"Sister Xian, my aunt is not talking about you, why didn't you send your eldest sister out just now!" As soon as Aunt Mei lay down, she couldn't help frowning and looking at Xie Xian.
"I didn't say I wouldn't give it to her. She obviously didn't let me give it to her!" Xie Xian frowned and said unconvinced.
"You won't give it away if she says she won't let you do it? You! Even though both of them are named Xie, why are you not as smart and steady as your eldest sister!" Looking at Xie Xian's unconvinced look, Aunt Mei said
He couldn't help but look at her and sighed.
"Aunt." After hearing Aunt Mei's words, Xie Xian couldn't help but pout and call her Aunt Mei coquettishly.
Seeing Xie Xian's appearance, Aunt Mei sighed helplessly. She waved to Xie Xian, and when she sat down in front of her, she took her sign language and said to her sincerely, "You, you, you"
!I’m doing this for your own good, haven’t you seen that more people have come to visit the old lady in the Hou Mansion recently?”
"So what?" Xie Xian didn't understand the meaning of Aunt Mei's words at all.
"Are you stupid? Do you think those people are just here to see the old lady? They are all here for your eldest sister!" Aunt Mei stretched out her hand and tapped Xie Xian's forehead hard with her long fingertips.
.
"Are you talking about eldest sister? Auntie, you mean..." Xie Xian was a little in disbelief.
Aunt Mei chuckled lightly, patted Xie Xian's hand, then curled her lips and said, "Finally, you are not too stupid! The ladies of our Wei Dynasty are all noble, so we should wait until they are seventeen or eighteen before marrying.
There are a lot of things, but your eldest sister has just gotten hairpins, and before the news has spread to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, those people have begun to come to your door to ask for information! However, based on your eldest sister's appearance, the old lady will definitely not let her be humble.
Get married."
After hearing what Aunt Mei said, Xie Xian felt an inexplicable feeling of displeasure in her heart. She frowned, looked at Aunt Mei with some displeasure and said, "What does it have to do with me whether she is a high-ranking woman or not? Auntie, you
Why are you talking to me?"
Although they are both girls from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Xie Wu is the eldest daughter of the eldest son. Just because of this, she can't even flatter her. Isn't my aunt poking at her heart by telling her this?
Seeing that Xie Xian still looked confused, Aunt Mei couldn't help but stretched out her finger and tapped her forehead. She looked at her with hatred and said, "You silly girl, why does it have nothing to do with you?"
Now? Your eldest sister is in charge of all affairs of the Marquis Mansion now. If she gets married, who would be the most suitable person to take over these affairs?"
"Auntie, you mean, you mean..." Xie Xian stood up excitedly.
"That's what you think! Your eldest aunt is someone who can't stand up to the wall, and your grandmother doesn't want to see her. Once your eldest sister gets married in the future, the power of middle-age patronage in the Hou Mansion will most likely be given to her by your grandmother.
Take it back." Aunt Mei said to Xie Xian with a sweet smile.
Xie Xian's eyes lit up, but then she felt something was wrong, "Auntie, what, what if grandma doesn't take back the right to give back?"
"Silly girl, even if the old lady doesn't take back the power of middle-age feeder, she still has to find someone to 'help' your aunt! Otherwise, given your aunt's temperament, do you think she can take care of the Marquis's house?
"Aunt Mei looked at Xie Xian with a smile and said.
After hearing what Aunt Mei said, Xie Xian finally understood. She happily sat back on the bed, took Aunt Mei's hand and said, "Auntie, even so, grandma may not choose me!"
Although Xie Yuan is missing from her head now, she is a concubine, and her grandmother usually treats her indifferently. She may not want to take care of the Marquis's house.
"So, I just asked you to see off your eldest sister! You can walk around more with your eldest sister, be sweeter in your mouth, and be more diligent in your hands and feet. When the time comes, even if your eldest sister doesn't speak for you in front of the old lady, the old lady will
I will also notice you, plus I am now..." At this point, Aunt Mei suddenly lowered her head and touched her still flat belly with a smile.
Xie Xian finally understood it completely.
Yes, her mother still has a golden knot in her belly now! Moreover, when the eldest sister gets married, she will be the only girl of the same age left in the house. Who else can the grandmother use instead of her?
Thinking of this, a big smile broke out on Xie Xian's face.
"Auntie, I understand! I will go to Hengzhiyuan tomorrow to thank my eldest sister." Xie Xian looked at Aunt Mei and responded in a clear voice.
"That's right." Seeing that Xie Xian had figured out the powerful relationship, Aunt Mei was very happy and reached out to rub her head.
"Auntie, there seems to be something wrong with this purse." Just as the two of them looked at each other and smiled, Sang Yu finally couldn't help but speak out.
"Purse, what's wrong with my purse?" Xie Xian frowned and looked at Sang Yu strangely.
Sang Yu pursed her lips and said in a dry voice, "Auntie, it doesn't seem like there is money in this purse?"
"What else can it be if it's not silver?" Xie Xian frowned. After saying that, she simply took the purse in Sang Yu's hand and untied it. When she took out the contents, not only her, but also Aunt Mei
