Chapter 6 Encounter in the Garden
"Have you heard that Miss San is pregnant?"
"Really? The third lady is born in a simple life. How can she get pregnant?
"Really, it seems that he is still an official."
"If so, isn't the prince going to break her leg?"
"Isn't it? Now that I hide in the house all day, I must not dare to come out to see people."
"Wow, it's really unfortunate."
"Yes..."
One by one, one by one, one by one
"Qiaoyue, go and listen to what they are talking about?" Red silk had nothing to do, so she took an idle book and sat in the garden reading. Unexpectedly, this was a gathering place for girls to say right and wrong. When she was annoyed, she had no idea of reading. When she heard about Nie Mei, she let Qiaoyue go and read it.
Qiaoyue went there for a while, and the voice over there became louder. The red silk smiled. The so-called three women in one play is really right. Now more than a dozen women are quarreling into a pot of porridge.
It wasn't long before there was a sound there. I guess it was Qiaoyue who ordered the girls to be quiet when she came back. She closed her eyes slightly. She got up early in the morning, but now she is a little sleepy.
"Miss." When Qiaoyue came back, Hongsi was already asleep, so she had to call gently and stop shouting. She put the book in Hongsi's hand on the table to make her sleep more comfortable.
"Are you back?" The red silk yawned and opened its eyes slightly.
"Hm, did Qiaoyue wake up Miss?" Qiao Yue straightened her red silk hair and said apologetically.
"I can't sleep by myself." The red silk shook its head, reached out to take a cup from the table, and poured the teapot. It seemed that there was no water.
"Qiaoyue went to pour water first." Qiaoyue was a clever girl. When she saw the red silk frrows slightly, she thought that the water was gone. After making tea, she was ready to pour a cup of red silk, but it was stopped by the red silk.
"No need." The red silk waved his hand and said, "Try what you heard."
Qiaoyue's eyes lit up, "Miss, they said that the third lady was pregnant!" This tone is not surprising and seems to be a little gloating.
Are you pregnant? Could it be his? Hong Silk knew that Nie Mei was proud in front of her in the dream and said that the child was Tang Ziran's. Maybe it's nonsense."
"Not like that." What those girls said was well-founded, not as if it was false. That word seemed to come from the girl in Nie Mei's room.
"Oh?" So I have some faith in red silk. It seems that this matter is not simple.
"Miss, who do you think that child will be?" Qiaoyue squeezed her eyebrows and thought to herself that everyone was saying that it was most likely to be the seventh master, and the young lady should have guessed it.
"How can I know?" Hongtan stared at Qiaoyue, "Isn't it me?"
"Ha ha, miss, don't talk nonsense. If it's yours, don't scare the prince to death." Qiaoyue covered her little mouth and smiled happily. That's all right. I thought the young lady would be unhappy, but now she will joke, so it won't matter.
"I don't know the third sister well, but Sheng Shao cares about her. Let's go and have a look another day." Hong silk knew that the matter must have spread so quickly that Nie Mei deliberately asked the girl to say it. As for why she didn't know, it should be related to her.
When I got up in the morning, the sky was gray. After seeing Tang Ziran yesterday, the red silk couldn't fall down like a heavy stone. It was also because I didn't sleep well all night, so I was so sleepy now. The red silk got up and wanted to go to the house to sleep for a while, but soon there was a light rain in the sky. The red silk looked at the moon. Qiaoyue shook her head. "Miss, I'll go to the room to get an umbrella now." Good bye, it's raining heavily. Let's wait for it to stop. The rain fell on the ground, on the flowers, on the leaves, and some fell on the face of the red silk with the wind. The red silk lay on the table and waited for the rain to stop. At a glance, I saw a pink figure, Nie Mei?
Nie Mei stood in the rain, let the rain hit her, and stood in the rain without walking or laughing.
"Well, isn't that the third lady? Why are you standing there in the rain? Qiaoyue pointed to Nie Mei in the rain and said with a little surprise.
"Yes, it's her." Red silk just looks at it and doesn't express any opinion.
After a while, a girl with an oil paper umbrella appeared at the gate of the courtyard. As soon as the girl saw Nie Mei, she immediately ran up, grabbed Nie Mei and began to persuade her. However, the distance was far away, the red silk could not hear what they said, but she also wanted to know that it was nothing more than Nie Mei not to do stupid things. Such an old drama, Nie Mei is also embarrassed to take it out.
"Miss, they are coming." Qiao Yue looked at Nie Mei and others without blinking an eye. Originally, she thought that Nie Mei would be tired of watching a good time, but she didn't expect that she came to the pavilion with her girl to hide from the rain.
"Don't worry, there is still a play." Seeing Qiaoyue's disappointed face, I knew what the girl was thinking.
The rain was getting worse and worse, but Nie Mei walked slower and slower. Finally, she walked to the pavilion and whispered, "Sister."
There is a strange atmosphere in the air. Everyone knows that the second lady and the third lady don't get along well. In other words, the second lady and girl in the same house don't get along with each other, but the third lady doesn't know why, it's just don't get along well. Maybe the third lady usually doesn't know the accident, which always makes the second lady unhappy. It is also the third lady who has always been with the seventh prince recently, which makes the second lady even more unhappy.
The red silk did not say anything, and the master and servant standing outside the pavilion did not dare to step in.
Qiao Yue felt that it was not suitable, so she greeted her with a smile and said, "Miss San, come in quickly. It's raining heavily outside. What if it gets cold?"
The two masters and servants looked at each other in con's sight, and they still didn't dare to step overstep.
The red silk looked funny. No matter how it looked at it, it seemed that he was bullying others, so he said, "Come in and eat something quickly."
"Yes." Nie Mei lowered her head and entered the pavilion. When she entered the pavilion, she still didn't dare to sit down. The girl behind her also put away the umbrella and stood aside.
"Sit down." The red silk spoke lazily, and she really had to sit down and say it herself.
Qiaoyue picked up the teapot and wanted to pour some tea for Nie Mei, but was stopped by the red silk. "Qiaoyue, there is no water in the tea. Go and get some water."
"Ah?" Qiaoyue thought that the tea was poured by herself just now. Why didn't she say it?
"I'm not going yet."
"Yes." Qiaoyue was about to step out, but when she saw that the rain was too heavy outside, she borrowed Nie Mei's umbrella and took the teapot. Nie Mei also looked at the maid beside her. "Qiaoyue holds a teapot in her hand and can't take an umbrella."
"Yes." The girl also nodded and shouted Qiaoyue, and the two went together.
The red silk took the grapes on the table and played boringly, but Nie Mei still lowered her head and said nothing.
When the red silk was bored, he said first, "There is no one here. If you have something to say, just say it."
"This..." Nie Mei lowered her head and said a word hesitantly.
Does she always like to pite people like this? Don't sell it."
"Sister, I'm pregnant." Nie Mei sat in the corner on one side and huddled tightly there.
As soon as Nie Mei said this, she also got the effect she wanted. There was obviously a lot of unhappiness between the red silk eyebrows, but soon she was disappointed.
Red silk said, "What are you telling me to do?" This is her truth. What's the use of telling her?
"I... Doesn't my sister want to know whose child I'm pregnant with?" When Nie Mei spoke, she deliberately touched her stomach. She didn't believe that Nie Hongsi would not be moved.
Whose? Who else can there be? I don't know what's going on. "Cook? Or is it a little boy?" She did it on purpose. Since she likes to show off so much, just show off slowly.
"How can my sister say that I'm worthless?" Nie Mei clenched her teeth and stared at the red silk as if she were very sad.
Is it worthless? Then how much are you worth? It seems that it's a great thing to get pregnant before marriage in her eyes. "How can I guess what my sister is thinking?"
Nie Mei clenched her fist secretly. I don't believe that if I told that person, you would be so shocked. "Seventh prince, sister, are you and the seventh prince close friends?"
"There is some friendship. What did my sister mention him?" The red silk smiled softly. I can't stand it.
"The Seven Princes..."
" Nie Mei!" A stern voice sounded.
The red silk looked slightly and said, "Mother."
"Madam." Nie Mei lowered her head and shouted.
Shen nodded and turned her eyes to Nie Mei. "Don't talk nonsense anymore. Su Hong will send Miss San back."
Su Hong was ordered to pull Nie Mei away quickly. The red silk did not bother to say anything polite. She didn't raise her head and read the idle book. Shen sat down, took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the slightly oozing from her forehead. After taking care of her makeup, she said, "Don't pay attention to Nie Mei in the future."
"Well" Red Silk answered faintly. She has always been like this for this mother. Since she was a child, Shen has been paying less attention to herself. Red Silk knows that Shen has spent a lot of time tying up her father, and she will definitely not care more about herself.
Shen pulled the corners of her clothes and smoothed the slightly wrinkled creases. A dark plum-print long skirt made her extremely dignified. Even in front of her daughter, she was the same as outsiders, always so majestic.
"What did you think of what you said last time?" The tone is faint and there is no expression.
"Is the mother talking about the prince?" She knew that it was impossible for her to talk to her daughter.
"The prince is good."
Red silk smiled and always felt that she liked the prince more than her daughter. "The emperor hasn't agreed yet, has he? It's too early to think about it."
"Don't get entangled with His Royal Highness in the future." Speaking of His Highness, the red silk obviously felt that Shen's face had become heavy.
"My daughter remembered it." She doesn't want to catch fire with such a dangerous person as Tang Ziran.
"Ye-huh." Saying this, the two immediately fell into a long silence.
They didn't communicate much in the first place. When they met such a ** topic, they didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Qiaoyue, who went to make tea at this time, came back.
As soon as the maidservant behind Qiaoyue saw Shen, she immediately supported her. Shen also felt that it was getting late and the rain outside had stopped. She got up and walked to the red silk and looked deeply without saying anything. She just patted the shoulder of the red silk and left with the girls.
After the red silk said that her mother left, she looked at the girl who had just followed Nie Mei looking for something. She thought she was looking for Nie Mei, so she kindly reminded her, "Mother sent her third sister back."
The girl lowered her head and smiled shyly, "The maidservant knew it, and the maidservant left first." After everyone left, Qiaoyue said happily, "Miss, madam, why are you here?" Qiaoyue poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and handed it to the red silk.
The red silk followed the cup, and the tea was poured all over his hands. The hot tea poured into his hand made the red silk stingle and bite the lips. Seeing that Qiaoyue didn't see it, she quickly hid her hand behind her. The girl must be nagging again when she saw it.
