Chapter 137 The Arrival of Grandma Qi
Two days later, Zhanyue arrived in the capital with a large carriage of tonics jointly organized by the seven elders.
What surprised Shan Xiaowu was that there were also Qiqiao and Yaoxiang who served her on Xiaoyao Island. Both of them no longer wore a veil, and they showed their pretty faces in their hometown. Along the way, they were fascinated by countless passers-by with unknown situations.
"Madam!" The two were also very happy to see Shan Xiaowu. Their eyes slid down to Shan Xiaowu's lower abdomen and saluted with a smile, "Congratulations, Madam, Mrs. He Xi."
"Yaoxiang, Qiqiao!" Shan Xiaowu stepped forward in surprise and grabbed one, "Why did you come here?"
Yao Xiang smiled and helped her walk to the courtyard with Qiqiao alone. "The owner is worried about leaving his wife here alone, so he specially ordered me to come and serve his wife with Qiqiao. In addition, Grandma Qi is also here."
"What?" The footsteps suddenly stopped, and Shan Xiaowu's voice raised in an instant, "Is Grandma Qi here too?"
What is the evil old woman who can only give her porridge and dishes? Torture her again? No way!
Thinking of the days when he was recovering from his wounds on Xiaoyao Island, Shan Xiaowu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth and suddenly felt that the future was so gloomy...
"Yes, our sisters all heard with their own ears that Grandma Qi promised the landlord that she would take good care of your wife, you and the little young master." Qiqiao covered his hand with a handkerchief and smiled, "But my mother-in-law said that there was a batch of medicinal herbs that must be brought, so she left late and hasn't arrived yet. If the lady wants to see her, I guess she will have to wait for another two days.
It's good to add!
While Shan Xiaowu was happy, he couldn't help whispering in his heart, "It's not self-abuse. Who wants to see that vicious old woman..."
Zhan Yue and Ben Lei both let Gui Buri shout to the study to explain the matter. Shan Xiaowu had nothing to do, so he first took Yaoxiang and Qiqiao to get familiar with the movie garden, and then found Feicui to go to the kitchen to steal food.
Speaking of jade, the girl was originally very hostile to Yaoxiang. Later, she heard from Shan Xiaowu that when she was injured, it was Yaoxiang and Qiqiao taking care of her. In addition, Qiqiao showed her unique cooking skills in front of her. The little girl immediately changed her face. The dog-legged sister's sister was crooked all the way, which really made Shan Xiaowu cry and laugh. No.
Lunch is naturally cooked by Qiqiao, who is the best cook. I don't know if he misses her craftsmanship too much. Shan Xiaowu's appetite has a tendency to gradually improve, and he even ate a little bit of fish that he couldn't touch for more than a month.
The group of people gathered together for dinner, regardless of their master and servant. Shan Xiaowu asked someone to invite Shan Jinlin over. Several men talked in a low voice while drinking wine at a table. On the contrary, the women who are also at their own table let go of their reserve and discuss what they have seen and heard.
Lang Xie was supposed to go out for food as usual, but when he heard laughter, he also came over.
It was often taken care of by Qiqiao when it was in Xiaoyao Villa. At this time, when I saw her, I jumped up happily and rubbed it. After rubbing, I didn't forget to move over and eat the fragrant tofu next to me, which made the two of them very happy.
Shan Jinlin naturally saw Lang Xie. Hearing his questioning with great interest, Shan Xiaowu remembered his purpose of coming to the capital.
He quickly hugged Lang Xie and threw it to Shan Jinlin, "Oh, catch it."
Sand Jinlin reflexively threw away the chopsticks and hurriedly grabbed the soft white bubble... monster? He held his two fins and stared at it with his big eyes.
Seeing this, Ben Lei immediately explained its context to Shan Jinlin. The latter raised his eyebrows and looked up and down in disbelief, "Is this... Shenlong?"
It's so small!
"What did you lie to?" Shan Xiaowu explained to him, "Don't look at Langxie being so small now. When it transforms, it can't be installed in this hall."
Although it's a little exaggerated, it's not far from the truth.
Lang Xie supported his two forelimbs and tried to straighten his chest, echoing Shan Xiaowu's words and shouted twice to show off.
"Oh, does it still have a name?" Shan Jinlin put Lang Xie on the chair next to him and looked around it left and right. His eyes couldn't help shining with interest, "Can you really transform?"
Lang Xie, who was looked down, grinned at Shan Jinlin and grinned a row of white teeth. He was about to turn into a strong look at him. As a result, as soon as he changed half a claw, he was hit on his head with a quick and fierce re-plap--
With a "pop", the defenseless Lang Xie fell forward and lay under the table. A pile of stars and birds on his head suddenly circled, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
Except for the stunned jadeite and the slightly stunned Shan Jinlin, several other people look at it with sympathetic eyes - fool, do you really dare to transform in the hall and want to crush everyone? You deserve to be beaten!
"Good boy, don't cry, I'll rub it for you, and it won't hurt soon."
Stretching out his hand and picking up the tearful Lang Xie lying on the ground, Shan Xiaowu coaxed it while lowering his head with a smile and rubbing the big bag swollen on its head.
Lang Xie turned around angrily and stared blankly, and then turned to rubbed Shan Xiaowu's hand aggrievedly and complained.
Shan Xiaowu cleared his throat and forced himself to ignore the poor eyes. He said to Shan Jinlin, "Brother, I think you also know why Lang Xie is here - I'm not good at dealing with people in the palace. At that time, please take Lang Xie in."
Sand Jinlin nod his head, "This is natural."
If it hadn't been for the trouble between his father and the second brother, he wouldn't have thought of getting Shan Xiaowu involved - although the matter of Shenlong was originally brought out by her.
The one-month period has exceeded many days. The one in the palace didn't mention it, and Shan Jinlin didn't say anything. If Lang Xie hadn't come here by himself today, he would have forgotten that there was such a thing.
It's just that the palace is a little uneasy now. Now when you take Lang Xie into the palace, I'm afraid it can't get out so quickly. You have to think of a perfect solution.
"Yuan Baomei, can Lang Xie be taken by my brother first?"
While Shan Xiaowu was doing psychological construction for Lang Xie and coaxed him to enter the palace to 'play', Shan Jinlin reached out and touched its head and said with a smile, "The emperor should not have time to pay attention to the matter of the dragon now. I will take Lang Xie into the palace in a few days."
Shan Xiaowu and Lang Xie tilted their heads to look at him.
Shan Jinlin opened the fan twice and explained, "Lang Xie is not familiar with his brother. What if he is not obedient at that time? Moreover, since it is a dragon, it can't appear in this form," he put away the fan and clicked the tip of Lang Xie's nose. "The emperor wants to see Lang Xie, and the picture is just a sign of auspiciousness. I suggest that Lang Xie transform in the air and then circle a few times over the inner city - of course, the timing must be well grasped, so Lang Xie must first. Learn to cooperate with me."
"This way..."
Shan Xiaowu looked down at Lang Xie, and Lang Xie also opened his two round eyes and looked back at her.
After a long time, Shan Xiaowu suddenly said, "Lang Xie, how about we discuss it?"
Lang Xie tilted his little head, and the two Y-shaped corners swayed slightly in the air, as if asking something.
"This person's family," she pointed to Shan Jinlin and said with a smile, "There are a lot of delicious food, fun, and many beautiful sisters."
Lang Xie turned his head and looked up at Shan Jinlin, and then looked at Shan Xiaowu, who was full of smile and encouragement. The expression on the dragon's face was quite hesitant.
Shan Xiaowu pinched its tail and continued to work hard. "As long as you listen to him, there will be a big show. He will take you to a place where you can eat more good food and even see more beautiful sisters, who are more beautiful than any of us here.
There is a royal chef in the palace, and the food made must be extraordinary. The emperor's concubines are one in a hundred, and they must be more beautiful than any of them here - she didn't lie.
Lang Xie's eyes lit up, stretched out his neck and shouted twice. He jumped up and fell happily with his small wings on the shoulder of Shan Jinlin, who couldn't laugh or cry, and even covered his head with his forelimbs.
Everyone fell down.
After a meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Shan Jinlin didn't stay in the movie garden because he had something to do. Lang Xie, who loved food and beauty, naturally followed him back.
As for Shan Xiaowu, although her morning sickness reaction has slightly improved, the fatigue caused by pregnancy has not faded.
When she took her back to the room, her eyes were too sleepy to open, but she still remembered to grasp his skirt and vaguely reminded him, "Sir, come back early, I'll wait for you to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together..."
As soon as Zhanyue arrived, it meant that she was about to leave. She subconsciously kept this matter in mind.
With a smile, he leaned over and branded a kiss on her forehead. He also took off his coat and got into the quilt.
Reaching out and holding her, she put her cheek against her chest, and her big palm carefully rubbed her back gently. He stared at the top of the blue tent for a long time and sighed softly.
There are still 16 days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time... it should be in time.
............
The next morning, Shan Xiaowu woke up before dawn. He subconsciously reached out his hand and touched the quilt. The position beside him had been cool for a long time. He wanted to come back and leave for a while.
He sat in a while, but he was no longer sleepy. Shan Xiaowu touched his slightly convex stomach, said a few words to himself, put on his clothes and opened the door to breathe in the yard.
There are several stars on the dark blue canopy that have not yet dissipated, against the moon mark with only one curved hook left. Compared with the single shadow at this moment, there is a feeling of loneliness, and even the osmanthus planted in the corner of the yard are a little tingling.
Shan Xiaowu shrank his neck and pulled his clothes up to wrap himself - it was really cold in the autumn morning.
I don't know where her father-in-law has gone now. He is so good at light kung fu. He should be halfway, right? The burden she specially prepared for him is gone, which means that he has brought, the pastry and dry food and fruit inside, which should be enough for a period of time, and there are silver tickets--
After thinking nonsense for a long time, Shan Xiaowu did not withstand the cold wind and enthusiastically, and soon began to sneeze.
Feicui and Yaoxiang live in the yard next to Shan Xiaowu. As soon as there was a noise here, they immediately woke up.
Several people came out of the room and saw Shan Xiaowu sitting in the yard in thin clothes. They hurried over to persuade him, and then coaxed the depressed Shan Xiaowu back to the room.
Qiqiao was afraid that she would get cold, so he specially went to the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup and sent it to Shan Xiaowu together with breakfast.
Shan Xiaowu sucked her nose and drank it all without refusing - the pregnant woman must not catch a cold. She ran out like that this morning and really lacked consideration.
But... without blowing the wind and letting herself go, she has been thinking about her father-in-law. What a dilemma!
Shan Xiaowu held her head in frustration and thought with regret. As long as she left, her heart would be empty for a long time. No matter where she went, she would subconsciously look for his figure wherever she went, and wanted to tell him everything she saw - habits are really terrible.
Jadeite couldn't see her dejected appearance, so she pretended to be angry and said, "My uncle is really. Why don't you wait until you wake up and say goodbye to you?"
"That way I will feel uncomfortable," Shan Xiaowu looked up at her, leaned back on the railing, and stared at the koi in the small pond under the porch. "He was just afraid that I couldn't give up, so he didn't say goodbye."
If she let her see him leave all the way, maybe she will cry on the spot and won't let him go.
Shan Xiaowu thought sullenly that she never knew that she could miss a person so much - she missed her so much that she didn't even have the heart to pay attention to eating and sleeping, but just sitting in a daze, and then kept recalling all kinds of inseparable things.
Is it love for her to be like this?
Shan Xiaowu reluctantly thought about it for a long time, summed up her behavior, and found that in addition to the ubiquitous miss, she didn't seem to have any point that could be called the inseparable expression of 'love'. So does she love him or just think of him as a special and reliable friend?
If it is the latter point, she thinks that she should commit suicide first. After all, it is really good for her. How can she repay his feelings in this way? It's so disgusting!
But...
Shan Xiaowu thought of this and began to swing again - she can't leave. She doesn't know what her feelings for him are, so does he love her or not?
Is it possible to make a flower to count the petals?
Don't be kidding!
In the following days, Shan Xiaowu has been entangled in this problem. After thinking about it for two days, he didn't come up with a clue. Those who wanted to wait didn't wait didn't wait. On the contrary, those who didn't want to wait came all the way leisurely--
When Grandma Qi limped and appeared in front of Shan Xiaowu with the medicine box on her back, she was so shocked that there was only a sad cry in her mind: My father-in-law, come back quickly, I can't bear it alone!!!
