Chen Nianran's hand gently caressed Ox-Head's round stomach. A small life was born inside. What a miraculous thing.
In modern times, she only talked about love, but she never had a baby. At this moment, by some strange accident, there was a tiny life in her stomach.
The next day, it was agreed upon how to teach the villagers how to make konjac. This morning, a few representatives came, and Sister Fang was one of them.
Chen Nianran did not stand on ceremony with them, and immediately told them all about how the magic taro worked, and how to use wood ash to point it out. At the time of parting, she didn't forget to tell everyone that if they had a sick person at home, it was better to eat fresh vegetables.
Everyone got the idea, and excitedly went home to do their experiments.
After sending the bunch of people away, Chen Nianran packed her stuff and went back into town to find Xiao Feng.
When she got someone to deliver a message to Xiao Feng, Chen Nianran was still waiting at the teahouse where he used to wait for her.
Not long later, Xiao Feng came upstairs in a hurry.
Seeing her, he excitedly hit her with his fist, "You damn girl, in this period of time you've really thought me to death. Hurry up and tell me, where did you go crazy in this period of time? It's been so long since I've come to look for you, I wonder if I've missed you? "
Looking at her skin which was becoming whiter and whiter, and her slightly plump body, Chen Nianran knew that this girl must have spent a lot of time being good. After pinching her, he teased her, "These days, you're still so greedy! If this continued, his waist would turn into a bucket. Do you see that Wang mama in the mansion? You're getting closer and closer to her. "
Hearing that, Xiao Feng immediately became displeased, and her face changed, "No, I don't want to be as fat as Wang mama. Who would dare to take me like that? However, she didn't eat much, she just ate according to the customs. Sigh, the second class girl's food is still too good, causing me to grow a lot of meat after eating for a few months. Oh right, you came to find me this time … It can't be that something's wrong, right? "
Xiao Feng squinted her eyes at her. She still understood Chen Nianran, and this was the time for her to settle down in her family, why would she come looking for him when she had nothing to do. Moreover, it was arranged to be in this teahouse.
"It's nothing much. I just want to ask, who was the person who managed the household's chores a while ago?"
Xiao Feng narrowed her eyes and looked at her doubtfully, "Why do you want to know about the work of such a person? What was the matter with him? Wasn't it that Zuo family? However, some time ago … Let me think... A while ago, it seemed that the Zou family had gotten sick and had let their son manage it. Something couldn't have happened, right? "
With this thought, Chen Nianran had a slight impression of him. From the Zuo family, this old man was a loyal servant. But her son was not like that.
It was said that eating, drinking, and gambling were all things. Without money, one would always think of some unorthodox methods.
Most likely, the cause of the trouble with his Yi Zi Tang was also because of that son of his.
"Oh, so it's like that. I'm just casually asking if anything big has happened in the mansion recently?"
"It's a big matter. There are quite a few of them." When he talked about the gossip, Xiao Feng was so excited that his face turned red.
"The first big thing is that Fifth Young Master is in charge now. Tsk tsk, you don't know, but now that the Fifth Young Master is in power, us girls' slaves are also basking in the light. Right now, the girls and wives in Fifth Young Master were the best at market. Many people wanted to squeeze in. Unfortunately, they did not know that the people of Fifth Young Master were very upright and would not allow their servants to do as they pleased. If you wanted to do something by his side, you had to have those perverted methods and just kick him away. We can only stay by his side if we do things honestly. "
Chen Nianran poured a cup of tea for her and smiled as she listened to her ramble on. She also understood that Xiao Feng was intentionally bringing up Zhou Ao Xuan in front of her.
She didn't seem to mind listening to the little news about this man.
"If you are talking about the power of the Fifth Young Master, this matter is really quite suspenseful. I don't know the specifics. After all, it had happened several times. The other masters were also in uproar for a while, but in the end, it was our Fifth Young Master who got their hands on them. Of course, this was only on the surface. It was said that to be able to sit in this position would depend on Fifth Young Master's ability. It would take at least another year.
This was the first big thing. The second thing is still related to Fifth Young Master. "
This kind of expression gave Chen Nianran a bad feeling. She smiled lightly, "Did someone book the marriage for Fifth Young Master? Or is it... Someone directly went to find him. Your Fifth Young Master is going to get married or something! "
For Xiao Feng to have such an expression, it must be because of this. Chen Nianran was not stupid, she would think of it soon.
Xiao Feng said with a bitter face, "Girl, can you not be so smart! That's right, there was a woman in the mansion now. This woman's background is not small, I heard that … She was the county magistrate's distant niece, and also his wife's favorite niece. This time, I have to find a good family. I don't know what happened, but I found out about our Young Master.
Thus, these people invited the old lady to drink and admire the flower, and when they returned, they acknowledged a daughter and returned. Currently, this daughter of hers is living in the yard next to Fifth Young Master. "
When Xiao Feng talked about that girl, her eyebrows knitted together.
"You don't know, but that woman's skin is really thick. Fifth Young Master ignored her, so she went to find trouble with Ye Kong and kick him out of the house. No matter what, she was still the county magistrate's niece, right? How could she be so shameless? Sigh, even a person with a humble appearance would want to come out and scare us. Isn't this the same as mocking us? "
Chen Nianran burst out laughing as she heard this, shaking his head, "No matter how shabby he is, he shouldn't be able to scare you, right?"
This girl must have said this on purpose because she was afraid that he would be angry.
"Hehe, little girl, it's good that you're not angry. However, let me be honest with you, that woman isn't that ugly. At least, it seemed to have some flavor to it. But neither of us liked her. In front of the madame, she was very nice and sensible. After all, you are so mean to us, your servant. "" No, no. Those guys with that look, tsk tsk...
Those who didn't know would think that she really was a princess, but in reality, she was just a niece of the county magistrate's wife. He had heard that his family was only a small merchant family. Where would they put on such a big show?
After I finish talking about Fifth Young Master, let me talk about the household's chores.
The first thing was that there was a new daughter in young master's room. Although she was not the young master, the madame loved her very much. ~ This is strange, Zhou Mansion has five sons, but so far, three of them are girls. None of them were her sons. "Who do you think would be the first to give birth to a son? No matter if it's an aunt or a concubine, the madame would probably fall in love with him."
When these words came out, Chen Nianran's hand slightly tightened. Looks like the one Zhou Mansion lacks is her grandson.
"There is one more thing that can be considered as a big deal in the manor.
It's not strange at all. The new concubine in the Eldest Young Master's residence was obviously fed with Yi Zi Tang s, but that person was diagnosed to be pregnant a while ago.
Thus, this aunt was in for a bad time. With the young master's milk and milk gossiping on the side, the young master was so angry that he beat the newlyweds to death. Sigh, speaking of this new aunt, she really was beautiful, like a flower.
In just a few months, she died. But it's not up to her to say it, since she insisted on stealing people! "
When Xiao Feng finished speaking, she noticed that Chen Nianran's face was exceptionally ugly. Her entire body was also trembling slightly.
"Little girl, what's wrong?" Xiao Feng was so scared that she quickly shook her.
"No, it's nothing. I had an urgent matter and went home first. Xiao Feng, I will come look for you another day. "
"Hmm, don't go. I still have something I haven't told you. I might want to follow you around, but I might not stay in the mansion forever." Fifth Young Master's intention is for me to run around and do whatever I can without telling me the specifics. "In the future, if you really have urgent matters to discuss with me, find Little Dong in the service room. He knows where I went."
Looking at Chen Nianran who left in a daze, Xiao Feng shook her head: This girl, seems like she has lost her soul, what's wrong?
Of course she didn't know what Chen Nianran was thinking, at the moment, she was only glad that she had taken off the Zhou Mansion.
Using the Zhou Mansion as an exception, if he had stayed behind, he was afraid that after Zhou Aoxuan's infatuation passed, her fate would be the same as the aunt Xiao Feng talked about today.
It was obvious that the servants had acted recklessly by swapping out the medicinal soup, but they were falsely accused of stealing someone.
"I'll cover this child myself." It was at this moment that Chen Nianran decided that he couldn't let the people from the Zhou Mansion know about this child.
She decided that she wouldn't worry about this anymore. However, she had to worry about one thing. That was, how to cover Steamed Bun and prevent others from finding out that the child was hers.
It wasn't because she didn't dare to bring the child herself, but because she had to be on guard against this child. Firstly, his current identity was that of a woman who had left him.
Moreover, this matter had happened two months ago. Even if he told her that she was pregnant, people would still gossip about it.
She, a woman, was not afraid, but what about the children? Did he have to be spoken of by others when he was born?
Moreover, if this child were to be found out by the people of Zhou Mansion, there was no need to guess; With the current power of the Zhou Mansion, to directly take the child away was definitely an easy thing to do.
