Ajiu

Chapter 11
Mrs. Xu also felt a little embarrassed, and a rosy color appeared on her face.This "cousin" Mrs. Zhao came directly to Pei's mansion to post a post to visit. Mrs. Xu was really caught off guard, she didn't expect her to come, let alone expect her to be like this.

Mrs. Zhao came to visit Pei's house, and Mrs. Fang entertained her personally.However, Mrs. Fang is an elder, and she was worried about arresting Mrs. Zhao, so she asked her three daughters-in-law to accompany her.And because she brought a little girl with her, she also specially asked Lin Youhui to bring little Ajiu out, "The two children are about the same age, so they are very close."

Mrs. Fang must have thought that Mrs. Zhao followed her husband and son-in-law to Suzhou for a routine visit. How could she know that she was here to complain?Not to mention Mrs. Fang, even Mrs. Xu, who is a "cousin", has no premonition.

Mrs. Gu is also here. She is the elder sister-in-law after all. She has a kind temper and is eager to comfort her gently, "Eldest sister is your first child, right? No wonder you think so. To tell you the truth, my eldest child is less than one year old. For a while, I also looked at him and felt infinite pity. Alas, poor parents in the world."

Mrs. Xu glanced at Mrs. Gu gratefully, and that gaze clearly said, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind, thank you!" Mrs. Gu smiled slightly, and nodded at her sister-in-law, signaling her not to take it to heart.

Mrs. Zhao burst into tears after hearing the empathetic words of the eldest grandma of the Pei family, "Grandma, you are a blessed person, how do you know the suffering of a poor man like me! Eldest sister, she is my first daughter. But she's not my first child..."

"My first child is a brother. It's a pity that he hasn't come into this world yet..." Mrs. Zhao mentioned the sad past, and wept bitterly.

This time, even Gu Shi was embarrassed.

Have you ever had a miscarriage in the Zhao family?That was a tragedy indeed.But, to say this in front of the eldest grandma and the second grandma of the Pei family, I'm afraid it's impolite and impolite.

Who will not encounter some ups and downs and misfortunes in this life, just grit your teeth and deal with it, which is not enough for outsiders.

Gu Shi, Lin Youhui, and Xu Shi are all well-educated. At this moment, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.Fortunately, as soon as Mrs. Zhao cried, her daughter, the elder sister, also started to sob, and Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Xu agreed to coax the elder sister together.

Ajiu looked curiously at the thin, crying little girl beside her, and felt sympathy for this peer.Although I don't know what happened to the rest of her family, but just looking at her mother who dropped golden beans at every turn, it seems that this little girl didn't have a good pregnancy.You must know that most girls in this era do not rely on their fathers for their education, but rely on their mothers to teach them.

What kind of daughter can a mother who can only cry when things happen can teach her?One can imagine.

The eldest sister's cry was very weak, like a kitten.Ajiu subconsciously wanted to go over to coax her, but seeing that the two adults, the eldest aunt and the third aunt, tried all kinds of treasures to no avail, Ajiu was very self-aware and didn't go forward.

After a while of chaos, Mrs. Gu personally picked up the elder sister and patted and coaxed her. Mrs. Xu pulled up her "cousin" and went to change clothes together.Lin Youhui had already picked up little Ajiu, the eldest sister's crying was broken and disturbing, she was afraid that the crying would annoy her precious daughter.

Mrs. Gu gave birth to three boys and had no daughters. She really had a heart for the little girl in her arms, patted her tenderly, and ordered someone to bring toys like rattles for the eldest sister to play with.After teasing and coaxing, the eldest sister's tiny crying gradually died down.

Ah Jiu kindly handed over a small kumquat, the elder sister hesitated for a while, then stretched out her little hand timidly, and took it.Ajiu grinned at her and smiled at her, even though she was drooling indecently, the smile was still very bright, the eldest sister also smiled shyly, and buried her little face in Gu's arms.

Mrs. Gu sighed softly, "If such a child is in our family, I don't know how precious it is!" Pei's family is looking forward to and looking forward to it, and there is only a little Ajiu in the second room.But there are three people in total, one little Ajiu is not enough, if there is another little girl, it will be really blessed by heaven, it would be great.

Lin Youhui smiled and said, "It's more than that. Sister-in-law, no matter whether it's in our family or in the Mei family, the eldest sister is a sweetheart!" How could the Pei family know the inside story of the Mei family? I can only say polite words.

Gu smiled, "That's right, the second sibling is right, this child is in the Mei family, and he must be the apple of his parents' eyes."

While talking, Mrs. Xu came back with her "cousin" changing clothes, Mrs. Xu looked normal, but "cousin" lowered her head, as if she was ashamed.She didn't stay for too long, sat for a while, then took her eldest sister in to bid farewell to Mrs. Fang and left.

Gu Shi, Xu Shi and Lin Youhui hugged little Ajiu and sent them straight to the second gate, watching them get into the sedan chair, and bid farewell to each other.

The eldest sister is hugged by the nanny, and the little one looks lonely and helpless.She and her nanny are obviously very estranged, and she doesn't seem to be close to her own mother, Mrs. Zhao.Just now, Mrs. Zhao cried frequently for the eldest sister, saying that she is pitiful, but Mrs. Zhao does not hold the child with her own hands, nor does she feed the child herself, all of them are nurses with fake hands.

Looking at the slightly bewildered little face of the eldest sister, Gu felt compassionate, and secretly sighed, "It's a pity that this child was not born in the Pei family." The Mei family of rare girls.

"Ajiu is still lucky." Gu Shi watched the eldest sister get into the sedan chair, then turned to look at Ajiu who was holding a sweet smile in Lin Youhui's arms, and sighed invisibly.

The same little girl, Ah Jiu and the eldest sister, are so far apart.

After the "cousin" visited, Mrs. Xu felt that she lost her face, and when she faced her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, she couldn't lift her head up, "My cousin probably had a miscarriage in her first child, and her second child was a girl. I'm a little depressed." She explained a few words vaguely, and she felt that the words were not expressive.

Gu was kind and comforted her with a smile, "When the child was less than one year old, the mother really worried too much and lost her composure very easily. Third sibling, this is a common occurrence." It's not just your natal cousin who is like this, Stop thinking about it.

Lin Youhui fed Ajiu custard with a small silver spoon, and smiled softly, "The little girl from the Mei family is really gentle and soft when crying. If it was Ajiu, it would be fine if she didn't cry. Once she started crying, That was a cry that shook the sky and resounded through the sky."

While crying, she would peek at her parents with teary eyes.If her parents showed distressed looks, she would cry louder, threatening; if her parents seemed indifferent, she would cry less, lower her head, and play alone dejectedly.

Lin Youhui thought of Ah Jiu's little thoughts, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Ajiu didn't even eat the delicious custard, her big eyes were wide open, and she glared at Lin Youhui angrily.They are eating, and you bring up such an embarrassing thing in front of them!It affects appetite, you know? !
Lin Youhui's hand holding the small silver spoon stopped in mid-air, Gu and Xu were all amazed, "Our little Ajiu can eat and understand, right? Smart kid!" Xu couldn't even think about "cousin" Yes, look at Ajiole.The snow-white and pink little girl, the angry little girl, is so interesting.

"Does Ajiu still eat it? If she doesn't eat it, Mother will order someone to take it away." Lin Youhui glanced at the custard and asked with a smile.

Who says I don't want to eat?Ajiu couldn't care less about being angry for the time being, and nodded hastily.

If you are angry with anyone, you can't skip eating.

Lin Youhui continued to feed her with a smile, Ajiu turned her grief and anger into food, and she wiped out a small bowl full of custard.

Feeling drowsy after eating, Ajiu stretched her belly after enjoying the delicious food, and fell asleep sweetly.

Alas, even though he was slightly laughed at just now, such a baby's life is actually very beautiful.

Ajiu giggled loudly in her sleep.

That night, Second Master Pei came back late at night, and Ajiu vaguely heard his voice, "... not only Lu Tomb, but also kilns in Songjiang, Changzhou, Jiashan and other places...Of course the craftsmen are unwilling to take on this job, but they didn't." Method..."

It is not easy to fire gold bricks. From mud selection to finished products, there are dozens of processes.After finally burning it out, any flaws will not pass the acceptance inspection, which is very harsh.However, after being transported to the capital by water, after the Ministry of Industry inspects and puts it into the warehouse, each piece is only given a silver price of one tael.

Artisans don't make any money at all.

"Is this a massive construction project?" Lin Youhui's voice was full of displeasure.

Second Master Pei let out a long sigh.

... The old emperor is very bored, want to build a palace, and the construction is booming?Ajiu restrained her drowsiness and wanted to continue listening.However, perhaps what Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui said next was more confidential, their voices were low, and Ah Jiu strained her ears to listen, but she didn't hear what they were talking about.

Bully babies!Ajiu was angry for a while, then fell asleep again hazily.

Mrs. Xu sent her three sons to sleep, and sat at the table, writing letters with pens.Third Master Pei accompanied his elder brother to the capital, and he had to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law at the Duke Wei's mansion.On the one hand, Mrs. Xu was worried about whether Mr. Pei had arrived in the capital at the moment, and on the other hand, she felt bored, so she had to write down the truth about her "cousin" and tell Mrs. Wei Guogong to know.

"Which kind of cousin is she?" Xu thought of the uninvited guest during the day, her eyes turned cold, "It's true that my aunt married into Nanxionghou's mansion, she was Mrs. Nanxionghou, but she passed away many years earlier! This girl, Zhen, is just the daughter of the step-wife, and she has the nerve to insist on marriage with my Xu family!"

When my aunt passed away, she left behind a son and a daughter, both of whom were still young.The person in front already had a son and a daughter, who would be willing to marry a daughter from a well-matched family? The wife my uncle married was only the daughter of a sixth-rank Beijing official, and the family didn't have much power.

The Nanxiong Hou's Mansion has strict rules, and it's hard for her as a stepwife to embarrass the eldest son and eldest daughter before her, but she is just trying to make money.It is said that her eyelids are extremely shallow, and she can only recognize money. She plucks her hair and saves desperately, intending to leave the family property for her own children.

Such a mother, raising such a girl, came to Pei's house to embarrass me!Xu threw down the pen irritably, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room.

Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I don’t know how to laugh at me right now!Mrs. Xu was extremely annoyed when she thought of all the impoliteness of her "cousin".
