first princess

Chapter 177 Husband and wife talk heart-to-heart (2)
The story goes like this: a tiger, a big cat and a poisonous snake were trapped in a cave at the same time due to a flood. They are all carnivores, and they are each other’s natural enemies. So, the tiger wanted to eat the big cat, and the big cat wanted to kill the poisonous snake. Want to kill a tiger.But the trouble is, if the tiger eats the big cat, the poisonous snake will have no natural enemies and will attack the tiger; if the big cat kills the poisonous snake, the tiger will have no restraint and will swallow the big cat; No one can control the big cat, the big cat will attack the poisonous snake... In this way, the three animals stayed in peace until the flood receded.

She, Leng Youru and Zhen Shi are just like tigers, poisonous snakes and big cats, no one should act rashly.Why was there no such logical relationship before?That's because Leng Youru in the past wanted to be loved and loved, to have power and power, to have fangs and fangs, and she was not at the same fighting level as Shui Linglong and Zhen's, and the facts have indeed proved that even the mighty Leng Youru can As soon as you do it, you will "die".After thinking it over, Shui Linglong felt relieved and nodded: "Okay."

Leng Youru chose the simplest account book and gave it to her together: "calculate if there are any mistakes."

"Yes." Shui Linglong picked up the abacus and account book, and quickly calculated. In her previous life, she marched and fought with Xun Feng, and she took the lead in calculating the military supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops. Much simpler.For a quarter of an hour, Shui Linglong withdrew her hand, "The total on page No. 17 is three or two three more, the total on page 27 is one or two two less, and the total is two or two more. Also, the bookkeeper is obviously not very knowledgeable." , There are typos in several dish names.”

This matter can be big or small, it's just bookkeeping, the money is correct, as long as it can be identified, but if she is shopping and encounters similar words, wouldn't it make the people below buy the wrong food?In the final analysis, Shui Linglong is sometimes quite stubborn.

Leng Youru's eyelashes trembled, and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes.The corner of Cen'er's mouth twitched, "Well, princess, you have finally found someone who is as fussy as you are, she is really a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"Leng Youru touched the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and then pushed all the remaining five account books towards her: "Calculate again."

Shui Linglong took over the task obediently, and patiently made up her mind.It was only then that Leng Youru took a good look at Shui Linglong, and felt that he could no longer integrate her with the image of the young girl in the temple who forced Li Cheng to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.Suddenly, I don't know what I saw, Leng Youru's lips moved, and she hesitated to speak!

In half an hour, Shui Linglong finished calculating all the accounts. She flipped through her notes and reported: "The booklet in the warehouse is not a big problem. The ten buckets of paint that were entered as No. 30 in January were counted down to eleven buckets when they were used up. I don’t know whether it’s because I counted less when I bought it or when I used it. There are many mistakes in the dining room. Almost every purchase and final consumption do not match. On the third day of February, I bought 50 fish and used them at night. I ordered five, used ten the next day, and three disappeared... There is also the book of wages, and there are more mistakes. The monthly allowance of Moheyuan is 45 taels, but here it is only [-] taels. I don’t know. Whoever took out the five taels of silver on behalf of Gongzhong, Tiananju remembered five taels more..."

It's not like corruption, but like simply not being able to make accounts, because the difference in the total number is not big, and it may be that the details in the middle are not right.Leng Youru aside, Shui Linglong could guess that it was the masterpiece of the Zhen family.

Leng Youru took a sip from the teacup, Shui Linglong was also thirsty, and reached for the teacup in front of her, Leng Youru pressed her hand, and said to Cen'er: "The water is more than six minutes cold, and the taste will not be right after drinking. , why don't you change the tea for the princess?"

"Yes!" Cen'er hastily removed the cup, went to the tea room and made another cup of honey flower tea.

Shui Linglong raised her forehead, she thought she was already picky, compared to Leng Youru, she was not enough!Of course, this also reflects another phenomenon from the side: Leng Youru is using her own standards to demand her.What is this omen?

Leng Youru put the account books one by one, the sides were absolutely neat, even the rolled up footers, she smoothed them one by one, and pressed an inkstone on the top: "Except for the number of account books, you don't see other questions?"

Shui Linglong put down her teacup and shook her head!

"Alas! Concubine..." Leng Youru didn't say the rest, she swept her eyes away and frowned slightly, "First of all, the gardening in the garden is unsightly; secondly, the daily dishes are too poor. This is the palace of the prince, not the relief warehouse ;Finally, and most importantly, seniority is not promoted enough, and the lives of the servants are not as good as pigs and dogs, who will serve the palace?"

Obscure?Relief warehouse?Not as good as pigs and dogs?The Zhen family is the daughter of a poor family, and Leng Youru is the daughter of the Leng family. Zhen's family thinks that diligence and thrift can be praised, and Leng Youru takes it for granted.Shui Linglong didn't answer, but found that Leng Youru's strange, vaguely anxious eyes were sweeping over her body. She felt it when she just settled the accounts, so she resisted asking, and now...she doesn't intend to ask!
Later, Leng Youru explained to Shui Linglong some precautions for the birthday banquet, and Shui Linglong wrote them down one by one. The strange thing is that Leng Youru scanned her body like a radar after a while, making her feel uncomfortable all over. comfortable!

"...you remember all of them?" Leng Youru looked at Shui Linglong's sleeve and asked with a frown.

Shui Linglong rolled up her sleeves and said: "Remember, if my concubine has no other orders, I will take my leave first." After saying that, she got up and saluted, and when Leng Youru nodded, Shui Linglong took a few steps back and turned around Go to the door.Just as she was about to cross the threshold, Leng Youru yelled softly from behind: "Come back!"

Shui Linglong walked towards Leng Youru, Leng Youru said to Cen'er, "Scissor No. [-]."

Cen'er was slightly startled, looked at Shui Linglong, turned around and went to the dressing table to take a pair of scissors no bigger than a palm.Leng Youru pulled Shui Linglong's bright wrist, Shui Linglong shook violently, subconsciously wanted to resist, but Leng Youru quickly opened her cuff, and cut off a thread about five millimeters long.

"Okay, you can go back." Leng Youru sighed in relief.

On the day of Leng Youru's birthday, many guests came to the mansion, even the third princess, she came completely uninvited!
The old lady sat on the kang, next to Qiao Hui who had just recovered from a serious illness, and Shui Linglong who was pregnant, and the third princess sat on the upper right hand side, next to Mrs. Yao, Feng Yanying and Mrs. Guo. Opposite them, It is Zhen Shi, a dignified middle-aged woman and a beautiful young woman.The woman has a long face, which looks quite white with makeup, and her clothes are plain, but luxurious; the woman beside her is much brighter, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, eyes that are not bright and bright, and narrowed into two crescent moons when she smiles, Coupled with long eyelash feathers, it is very happy and comfortable, which reminds people of the golden sunshine hitting the branches in March.

Shui Linglong glanced at her face inadvertently, just in time she was also looking at Shui Linglong, her eyes met, she laughed first, it was a warm smile that could melt ice and snow, Shui Linglong smiled mechanically.

The old lady asked kindly: "How is old lady Yao?"

Mrs. Yao replied with a smile: "She was teased by her grandson, she is doing very well, but sister Hui coughed a little this morning, the old matriarch was worried about sister Hui going out, so Xiaoxi stayed at the mansion to take care of her. He said he would come back to see his in-laws later." At the end of the speech, his eyes turned to Leng Youru.

Mother's birthday, daughter doesn't come home to visit, everyone... have no idea!In their view, the biological mother and daughter would never be absent unless something really happened.

Leng Youru smiled gently: "This is how you look like a mother." It seemed that she didn't care about Zhuge Xi's faux pas!
Mrs. Yao looked at Shui Linglong and said: "The concubine is going to be a mother soon, is it serious?"

Shui Linglong put down the candy in her hand, smiled slightly and said, "It's not serious."

Feng Yanying joked: "Why do I think you're getting fatter? You have a really good appetite, so you can't keep your mouth shut?"

Hearing what she said, the third princess looked at Shui Linglong, and she found that her cheeks were a little fleshy. The third princess stroked her own face, is it necessary to be fat to get pregnant?
Shui Linglong pretended to be stunned and said, "Second Young Mistress, do you have piercing eyes? Did you see all of this? My husband even praised me for being slender!"

Everyone in the room laughed!The women and girls also laughed, but they took an extra look at Shui Linglong.

Mrs. Guo turned to Qiao Hui and said with concern: "I heard that there was a miscarriage a few days ago, what's the matter?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room turned cold for a moment, but soon, the third princess couldn't hide her curiosity and asked: "You have a miscarriage? Why?"

Qiao Hui's healed wound opened again, and she smiled bitterly: "I accidentally fell while walking."

The third princess sighed regretfully, touched her stomach, if she had Xiao Guo Yan, she would definitely not let herself fall down!
Mrs. Guo shook her head, and said seriously: "It's not that I'm nagging, the young people nowadays are not as stable as we were then, how careful we are when we are pregnant, don't mention the door, even the bed is less, I am afraid that someone who is not Pay attention to the child's ups and downs. Now? Let the young man toss about by himself, but after tossing and tossing, he didn't make any tricks!"

The third princess pouted, didn't she just turn a corner and scold her for giving Guo Yan a bewitching fragrance, and indulged in lust for several days and nights?Her son is so cool, okay?She is the one who suffers!Don't think she doesn't know, the effect of the incense didn't last that long, it's because Guo Yan didn't want to stop it!She curled her lips in grievance, and the third princess's resentful eyes glanced at the calm Shui Linglong, it's better to be this mother-in-law!

Mrs. Yao took a look at the third princess and smoothed things over: "It's okay, the young man will take care of her for a while, and she will conceive soon."

Zhen raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "That's right, I persuaded Xiaohui in the same way. The county king has a very close relationship with her, so are you still worried about not having a child?"

Qiao Hui blushed.Feng Yanying's eyes dimmed slightly, she turned her head to look at the door, revealing a thoughtful expression.

The old matriarch changed the topic and asked Feng Yanying, who was a bit distracted: "Brother Tong is a couple, how many teeth have you grown?"

Feng Yanying smiled sweetly and said: "I didn't have his brother who grew up well back then, only six, I'm so worried!"

The dignified and quiet woman said in a gentle voice: "Late teething has the advantages of having teeth late. I remember that sister Zhen's teeth came out after four months of stool. Our whole family is so happy. We can't wait to set off firecrackers. Who would have thought that she would grow teeth early?" She got bad early, but at the age of four or five, she lost all her teeth! Her younger brother grew up late and has always been fine!"

The beautiful woman known as "Sister Zhen" lowered her head shyly: "Mother! Why are you exposing my short stories to so many people?"

"This is Mrs. Yan and Ms. Yan, the left deputy capital envoys of the Procuratorate." Leng Youru seemed to understand Shui Linglong's doubts, and took the initiative to give her the answer.But Leng Youru's eyes flashed slightly, obviously, she didn't finish her sentence.

Yan Zhen got up and bowed: "Good luck, the princess!"

Shui Linglong smiled slightly: "Miss Yan, please sit down, you are my concubine's guest, so you don't need to treat yourself like this."

"Yes!" Yan Zhen sat down.

Leng Youru's eyelashes trembled, and she hesitated to speak again!

The old matriarch smiled and asked: "Since youru's friends, Xiaoyu and Linglong got married, why didn't I see you?"

Mrs. Yan said respectfully: "We knew each other in the early years. Three years ago, my husband was transferred to Yancheng as the magistrate. It was not until the expiration of the three-year term a few days ago that my husband was transferred back to the capital."

Yancheng... Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, it sounds so familiar.

The old matriarch had itchy hands, and gathered a table of leaf cards with Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Yan, while Leng Youru asked the theater troupe to set up a stage near the Houhu Lake to sing, and called Mrs. Zhen, Mrs. The princess, Yan Zhen, Shui Linglong, Qiao Hui and Feng Yanying went to listen to the play together, but Feng Yanying kindly declined: "I am blind to the theater, I don't understand what is being babbled on stage, I just want to doze off, go and watch, I'm wandering around the mansion, anyway, it's not the first time I've been here."

Leng Youru smiled lightly: "Okay, if you need anything, just tell the servants."

"Well, thank you, Princess." Feng Yanying thanked her with a smile.

Leng Youru took Shui Linglong and others to the place where the concert was held, the sun was just right, and it was warm on the body, a row of open-air tables and chairs were set up on the grass, fresh melons and fruits and snacks were placed, and several pots of flavors were served. Different hot tea.

Leng Youru took the lead in ordering a few good plays, and Zhenshi also ordered one. When it was the younger generation's turn, the third princess waved her hand, and Shui Linglong first gave the list to Yan Zhen: "What does Miss Yan like to hear?"

Yan Zhen smiled softly, her bright eyes narrowed into two crescent moons: "I don't really know much about opera, I just look at the clothes they wear, hehe... Shi Zifei and Second Young Mistress order!"

Qiao Hui handed the trick list to Shui Linglong: "Sister-in-law order first."

Pushing it back and forth or pushing it in front of her, Shui Linglong clicked "Mulan Joins the Army", and Qiao Hui casually clicked "The Peony Pavilion".The big guy watched the play very seriously, but the sister-in-law talked quietly.Shui Linglong held Qiao Hui's hand and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel today? You have been out for a long time, are you tired? If you are tired, I will take you back to your room to rest."

Qiao Hui said with a slight smile: "It's nothing at all. After lying down for two days, it's the same as before it was not pregnant. It's just that I feel uncomfortable, so I stayed in the room and refused to come out."

Being able to speak so openly proves that there is nothing in my heart.Thinking about it is right, ever since Qiao Hui had a miscarriage, Prince An has been by her side as soon as he was in court, and he stayed in her room for meals. To encourage her to go out, he even took her for a walk twice at night, taking good care of her At this level, Qiao Hui should be relieved as a simple little woman.Shui Linglong said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

"Don't!" The voice was a bit loud, and everyone couldn't help but look at her. She smiled coquettishly, lowered her head, and when everyone continued watching the show, she lowered her voice and said, "The kitchen is dangerous, there are knives, boiling water, and oil stains." , It’s so hot that I can’t fall.” I didn’t have this kind of worry before, but I realized that life can be so fragile after a tire slipped. I glanced at Shui Linglong’s belly. I wanted to say something but couldn’t speak because of the situation. I just stared and said, “ You must save this fetus!"

Shui Linglong's eyes moved: "I have made a new fruit dessert, which is very delicious. Would you like to go to Moheyuan to try it?"

Qiao Hui watched Leng Youru and Zhen's listening to the play fascinated, and said, "Okay."

Just as Shui Linglong helped her chair, she was about to stand up and say hello to Leng Youru, when the third princess came over and said, "What delicious food did you cook?" Immediately afterwards, Yan Zhen also showed a look of surprise and longing.Shui Linglong pressed the center of her eyebrows, and said with a smirk: "Dessert, if you don't mind, come on!"

But it was said that Feng Yanying was visiting the palace, and she wandered around to the Bauhinia Courtyard.The last time I wrestled, I hit my elbow and knee, but my elbow recovered well, but my knee was the root cause of the disease because I knelt for most of the night. After walking a few steps, I felt pain like a needle prick. Dong Jialin simply didn't move much, and embroidered on the kang all day long.

"Second Young Mistress!" Myolie yelled at the door!

Dong Jialin's hand trembled and almost stabbed herself. When Feng Yanying opened the curtain and came in, she realized that the "Second Young Mistress" just now did not refer to Qiao Hui.

"Cousin!" Dong Jialin smiled happily and got up to get off the ground. Feng Yanying quickly walked up to her and sat down, holding her arms and looking her up and down. After a while, she sighed slowly, "I'm thin, thin A lot!"

Dong Jialin glanced at Xing'er: "Bring tea."

"Yes." Myolie turned around and went to the tea room.

Dong Jialin touched her face with one hand, smiled as usual, and said, "Where did you lose weight? It's still the same as before, maybe my cousin misses me too much."

Feng Yanying took the hand she put on her face, clasped the palms together, and said seriously: "Tell the truth to my cousin, what happened that day?" Qiao Hui slipped a tire, and the Yao family also got news that it was Qiao Hui who wrestled , Dong Jialin went to pull her, but they both fell down. She didn't slander Dong Jialin for playing tricks in her words, but she was worried that Dong Jialin would still suffer some unavoidable grievances because of this.

Dong Jialin smiled palely: "It's nothing, just in the hallway, I fell with the second young lady, and she slipped a tire."

"What about you? Are you not injured?" Feng Yanying asked eagerly.

Dong Jialin's nose suddenly felt a little sour. This was the first person who cared about her body in so many days. When other people came to inquire about the situation, they always asked, what about you?Did you do it on purpose or not?
