From spring to summer solstice, the weather gets hotter.

Guo Jingyan, the fourth grandmother of Guogong's Mansion, touched her slightly bulging belly, playing with a small fan, picking up snacks on the table one after another.

This is her second pregnancy, but the first child has not been kept for three months before giving birth.So this time I was extra careful.

Suddenly seeing her sister-in-law Huang Tingyu coming in for her money, she hurriedly got up to meet her.

The two concubines held hands and saw each other before they were seated separately.

Huang Tingyu is the eldest son and wife of the National Palace, the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Yu family, and the future mistress of the National Palace.

After thirty, he is quite graceful and stable.On weekdays, he has a good housekeeping, respects the elders and loves the children, and also cares for a few younger siblings.

Just before he was seated, he asked eagerly.

"Is it better today, is it still a bad mouth?"

"I don't know which celestial demon star was reincarnated from this baby. I can hardly eat anything during the toss." Guo Jingyan said in distress.

Huang Tingyu looked at the clear water and blue sky on the plate, with a few delicate pastries, making a variety of flowers, either exquisitely translucent, or pink and tender, all small and exquisite, and coveted.

"It looks exquisite. It doesn't look like it was made at home. It is expected that the fourth uncle loves you and sent someone to buy it from outside. It is either Shiyutang or Jiuxianglou."

"My sister-in-law did not say anything about it this time. Recently, a new cake shop opened on West Street, the December cake shop. This set of cakes is their signature dessert and is called the December Flower Cake. It is very difficult to buy. The people lined up all the way from West Street to the East Street entrance. Xingzhang sent the servants early in the morning and only got back at noon." Guo Jingyan pushed the plate to give in, "Sister-in-law also tasted it but made it."

Hearing this, Huang Tingyu took a sip of tea and coughed for a long time, covering her mouth with her veil, showing a strange expression on her face.

"You can eat this pancake in your own house. Don't let your mother see it."

"What does this mean?"

"You didn't know it. This is--the woman's business."

"Which woman?" Guo Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, her eyes widened, her mouth opened round, and she stretched out five fingers and gestured, "That one?"

Huang Tingyu succumbed to her air, gave her a little grooming, and took a look at her and said: "Exactly, now my mother is getting angry, don't you feel bad during dinner."

Said that Bi was thinking about it alone in his heart. In the afternoon, his mother sent his three younger siblings to explore the way there, but now he does not know what the situation is.This is a bad job at both ends, so you need to be more vigilant, don't get caught, and make you fishy.

Guo Jingyan was speechless: "I can save it. Thanks for reminding her sister-in-law."

He clapped his hands on the cake mozi, and said with a little disdain: "I thought I was fascinated by a woman like Uncle Wu, who is so talented and beautiful. But I don't want to fall in love with the daughter of a merchant. It's really a story of the world. ."

"It's also strange to say." Huang Tingyu said, "A few days ago, Lord Yan went to Fengxiang with such an imposing manner. I could end this matter. Unexpectedly, when I came back, the whole person changed the direction of the wind. On the contrary, it helped the fifth uncle to speak."

"Who said no. Even the letter from Erbo and Qinglian's sister-in-law is also faintly directed towards that person. I really don't know what kind of woman it is. It's really curious."

During dinner, the table in the Guogong Mansion was exceptionally silent.

Mrs. Guo on the main seat has a dark face, and anyone can see at a glance that his wife is in a bad mood today.No one wanted to touch this mold, so they all drew it cautiously and quit.

Only three grandma moved to the east wing with the maid.

When everyone retreated, Guo Jingyan couldn't hold it back, and asked, "Sansao, you can see that girl Zhou today? Isn't she beautiful and celestial?"

Liu Xinyi, the third grandmother of the Guogong Mansion, said: "It's not the kind of delicate appearance, but..."

Liu Xinyi touched her face, remembering the woman she saw in the afternoon.An unclear emotion arose in the heart.

"When I saw her, the girl was dressed in men's clothing, but she was very graceful and vigorous. She looked like a young man."

"That's not like a man, so what's the point?"

Liu Xinyi remembered the bright pair, looking at her eyes with a smile.His face blushed for no apparent reason, "It's just like a man, I talk to her, they are a bit..."

"What's all there!" Mrs. Guo said in a bad tone, "Could she still dare to show your face?"

Liu Xinyi bluffed, and hurriedly got up and replied, "It's not rude, but this girl is polite to her daughter-in-law. It's just that she has a good personality and is very good at talking. The daughter-in-law was a little dizzy by her. Mrs. confession."

Mrs. Guo said: "It's useless. You are a lady who was born as a waiter, but you can't say that you are an ignorant and rough woman. Seeing you on weekdays is clever, it turned out to be just a mess."

Liu Xinyi blushed, lowered her head to listen to the training, not daring to reply.

The fourth grandmother, Guo Jingyan, is Mrs. Guo’s niece. She has always been a bit more face in front of his wife, and she was pregnant, so she opened her mouth to help and said: "Madam, this matter can't be completely blamed on the third wife, the surname Zhou. The woman is the daughter of a merchant. She is screaming in the market every day. She must be vulgar and sleek. The third sister-in-law is a gentle and handsome person, how can she be as knowledgeable as that country girl."

"It's nothing. What's the point of waiting for you one by one. Poor Goro, gentle and courteous since childhood, brilliant and brilliant, no one would boast when he saw him. But he never wanted to be fooled by such a sloppy woman. Be confused."

Huang Tingyu persuaded: "Mother, don't be impatient. According to your daughter-in-law, if you invite the girl into the house another day, the mother can reprimand her face to face. I don't think she dare not listen. I can wait. Side should be."

Mrs. Guo frowned and said nothing.

The next day, in the back hall of the newly opened December Cake Shop branch on West Street, Zhou Xiaoxiao was checking the accounts with Xiaomei who had just arrived.

"When you came here, Fengxiang was all right?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked while calculating.

"If you go back to the lady, the business of the main store in Fengxiang is booming. Aunt Ji is too busy to come. Just a few days ago, I bought two new maid girls and recruited two new guys. This contract and months of accounts. I'll bring them here for you to see."

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded: "Master, sister, everything is well?"

"The old man and the old lady are in good health. They just miss the girl, saying that when the Chinese New Year is over, I will take time to visit you in Kyoto."

"At the end of the year, everything will be stable. I will pick them up personally. You have to have a snack here in the new store. If you stand up for yourself, sooner or later you can be like Aunt Ji."

Xiaomei was overwhelmed with joy and was deeply blessed. "Thank you for the lady's love and cultivation. Xiaomei will never forget her forever."

Just as he was talking, Juanzi came in here with a post in his hand.

"Miss, someone sent a post."

Zhou Xiaoxiao reached out and took a look.

"The young lady from the Guogong's mansion invited me over for a small gathering?"

Juanzi said: "Lady, you can't go to the Guogong Mansion. From the Shenmen compound, I don't know how many twists and turns are waiting for us."

Zhou Xiaoxiao laughed: "What is conspiracy? I think you have listened to more dramas recently."

Xiaomei persuaded her from the side: "Lady, Juanzi is not rough in talking, do we want to tell Yu Wuye, it is not appropriate for you to go alone after all."

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked down at the post and said softly, "What could be wrong. Mrs. Guo Gong is also a human, not a tiger. I have never been able to eat an old lady? Even if I can't fight, I can always run. ."

She closed the post: "You go and reply to the person for me, and visit you tomorrow morning."

The next day, Mother Yu in the Guogong Mansion was ordered to lead the legendary Zhou Niangzi to the main house where his wife was.

The illustrious name of the Zhou lady has spread throughout the whole province in the past few months.Now it looks very different from what I imagined.

Mother Yu muttered as she walked.

Although her brows are pretty, she doesn't see the slightest glamour.The body is slender and well-proportioned.Entering the mansion from Jiaomen, there is no soft sedan.After walking through these many winding roads, he still doesn't blush, his heart is not beating, his expression is gentle, and he is not half tired.

The prosperous and prosperous scene of Guogong Mansion.She stepped into it, contented, not humble or deliberately arrogant.

This is not a fuel-efficient lamp.Mother Yu gave Zhou Xiaoxiao his sex.

I was walking through the long shovel veranda, not wanting the figure of Yu Wuye to turn out of the jacquard door.

Yu Xingzhi blocked them with a deep expression, holding Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand and walking away.

Then Mother Yu hurriedly stopped: "I can't make it, I can't make it, fifth master. Today, my wife invited Miss Zhou to come and see you."

He stomped and said, "Where are those little monkeys in Yu Tong? My wife specially told me not to disturb the fifth master today."

Yu Xingzhi glared at her coldly, and that eye was full of almost instant anger.

Mother Yu couldn't help taking two steps back.

I watched Yu Xingzhi pulling Zhou Xiaoxiao away.

Mother Yu touched her chest and thought: Fifth Master is the most tender and considerate person, what's going on now, it's really a madman.

Yu Xingzhi pulled Zhou Xiaoxiao and walked for a while, Fang stopped, adjusted his emotions, and turned around.

He stared at the person in front of him carefully and stretched out his hand to straighten the hair on her sideburn.Say gently: "Xiaoxiao, I'll take you back. You don't have to come here."

"Why? Don't you want me to see your mother?"

"Naturally not. It's just mother and she... She doesn't know you yet, and I haven't convinced her yet. I don't want you to face her anger and suffer this senseless grievance."

He took Zhou Xiaoxiao's hand and rubbed it lightly. His hands were big and warm, and his voice was gentle and gentle.

Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly felt very sweet in her heart. Although this man had a lot of helplessness, he wanted to stand in front of him to block the wind and rain in front of him.

She has passed that period of girlhood full of boundless fantasies about love.She is very clear in her heart that the pressure of cross-class love in reality and the hardships that must be paid to achieve this relationship.

Her heart was beating fast, and her heart was full.

"I will do my best to handle everything. When I have this ability, I will give you a stable and happy environment. I will hold your hand and take you to see my mother and my family. .good or not."

This winter spring-like voice continued, but Zhou Xiaoxiao was somewhat distracted.

He is really good-looking.I really want to kiss him.

She bit her lip thinking this way.

Can't help but stretch out his hand and swipe his forehead hair.

There was a bruise mark there, like being hit hard by some hard object.

"Is your mother fierce?"

Yu Xingzhi was taken aback for a moment.

"Could it be more fierce than King Yan?"

"Mother is naturally not the one who shouted and killed like my cousin. It's just..." Yu Xingzhi showed a worried look.He knew what Zhou Xiaoxiao meant.

"Xingzhi, I said I would wait for you,"

She looked at Yu Xingzhi with her head up, her eyes sparkling.

"But I don't mean to stand behind you. Waiting for you to shelter me from wind and rain..."

She took Yu Xingzhi's hand and walked slowly along the tree-lined path with him.

Said while walking.

"I want to walk shoulder to shoulder with you like this. Even if there is wind and rain along the way, there is no fear, my shoulders are not just weak, I am willing to share everything with you."

She suddenly felt a shadow over her eyes.

Yu Xingzhi lowered his head and kissed her.
