Chapter 222: Making profit

The news of Wu Yiniang's pregnancy made the small study lively.

Mr. Luo even showed some pride.

Qian Ming shouted for a drink when he saw it: Today is the official day for us uncles to be uncles. It doesn't count. We have to arrange it for another day.

Xu Lingyi always talks little, Luo Zhenxing and Luo Zhensheng are juniors, and the three of them just laugh from the sidelines.

Mr. Luo straightened his back and waved his hand: "Whenever you say it will be, and how many days you say it will be. I promise you to drink to your heart's content. I am very generous."

Qian Ming's eyes fell on Xu Lingyi. Seeing him sitting upright with a serious expression, he paused, changed his tone, and said with a smile: It doesn't matter if I say it alone, why don't we wait for the tenth brother-in-law to come and discuss it carefully?

discuss.

The smile on Mr. Luo's face faded a bit after hearing this.

Although Xu Lingyi came less often, I saw that he was always respectful and polite. Needless to say, Qian Ming, even if there was any trouble, he would run to the Luo family. He was amiable and funny, and there was no one in the Luo family.

The only thing I don't like is this Wang Lang. Not only is he arrogant and arrogant, he also looks down on others. It's really annoying.

Thinking that he never came to visit his eldest wife after she fell ill, Mr. Luo felt a little chilled. He simply told Luo Zhensheng: Go and see if the tenth uncle is here. If he hasn't come yet, we won't wait. I can't let your sister-in-law pass on the food.

The Marquis and your fifth brother-in-law have been waiting like this.

Luo Zhensheng responded and left.

Qian Ming felt that he should be polite, but in the blink of an eye he saw Xu Lingyi sitting there without moving, so he swallowed his words.

At the same time, Mrs. Wu, who returned to the Sun family in Hongdeng Alley, beat her husband to his mother, but she blocked Mr. Sun in the study.

Dad, tell me the truth, is that child Xu Lingkuan's?

Mr. Sun Lao Hou raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think so? I put the question to the Fifth Madam again."

The fifth lady was startled.

Mr. Sun Lao Hou said sincerely: Danyang, we are close friends with the Xu family, and you and Ling Kuan are childhood sweethearts. No one knows Ling Kuan's character better than you. You have always been smart. You must.

Always surrounding these details, that is, the second Luo Yuanniang. Sometimes, you have to learn from your second sister-in-law Xiang. Look further and be more open-minded.

The fifth lady's face turned slightly pale.

The answer is ready to come out.

Mr. Sun Laohou understands this clearly, but he doesn't want to protect his daughter in this matter. His daughter has a strong temper, and she doesn't have the support of her compatriots. Now that he is alive, he can still help her. If he is gone one day, his son-in-law will be his daughter.

The only thing she can rely on is that there are some things that cannot be left to her to do as she pleases. As soon as her thoughts changed, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle: Why don't you say anything?

The tone is aggressive.

The fifth lady looked at her father, her face even paler.

Tell her what to say

She said that she thought she was smart and thought she had her husband in her hands, but in the end, she was kept in the dark by her husband.

He said that he was not afraid of the height of the stage when watching a play, but he became the scenery in other people's eyes.

Is it because I am a failure as a person? Or is it because others are too smart?

She was restless.

Since you can't say it out loud, then bury it in your heart forever. Then pour a ladle of boiling hot water and scald the roots to death. Mr. Sun Laohou looked solemn and told the fifth lady one by one about the rumors outside. In this

At the critical moment, even if you can't help the family, don't make trouble for the family. Otherwise, you will really be worse than the concubine-born Mrs. Yongping Hou. You are warned.

If you want to say who the Fifth Madam trusts the most in the world, it is her father Dingnanhou. You must know that not everyone can survive the turbulent temple of the late emperor until today without any injuries.

.So even though she was silent for a long time after being swallowed by these words, she still showed a thoughtful expression.

Mr. Sun Laohou nodded secretly as he looked at his daughter and said, "This matter is not big or small. But what you have to think about is what the Marquis will think about Ling Kuan at this time."

What do you think your fourth sister-in-law wants to know? Only by making decisions and taking action can you be invincible.

The fifth lady sat quietly in the study room and stood up.

Mr. Sun Laohou didn't rush him, he just held the tea and drank it slowly.

Yes, if something like this happens, what will the Marquis think? Naturally, he wants to find a way to calm the situation down, so he admits all the things he should admit, and admits the things he shouldn't admit. Seeing this strange thing,

I can only praise Mr. Hou for his kindheartedness. If he can't see this strange thing, he will also envy Mr. Hou for his suave style. But privately, he is afraid that as soon as he sees the child, he will recognize the child without saying a word.

Eleven Niang felt a little guilty. As for Mrs. Tai, her palms were flesh, and her palms were also flesh. The more generous she was, the more she felt sorry for the Marquis, and she would have a good impression of the obedient Eleven Niang.

Thinking of this, the fifth lady couldn't sit still.

Xu Lingkuan, a pink and white chimney, never does things without thinking. He hid it from himself and allowed himself to be treated as a joke, which was more embarrassing than letting himself recognize the child. But he still teased the child without knowing why.

Those who knew the inside story would probably have burst out laughing when they saw this. But with Xu Lingkuan's character, not only would he be grateful to the Marquis who helped him clean up the mess, but he would also be grateful to the Eleven Niang who helped him raise his children.

Be grateful.

Realizing this, she couldn't help but feel very angry.

How much does it cost to raise a child? Calculated, it is only a hundred taels of silver a year.

You are such an eleventh mother. You used a hundred taels of silver to please both the Marquis and the Dowager. You even managed to please me by being so obedient that you came to my husband. You are so calculating.

I pretended to be deaf and mute, so you thought I was easy to bully. This time, if I don't give you any clues, you really think I'm afraid of you.

The more the Fifth Madam thought about it, the angrier she became, and her face became more and more ugly.

Mr. Sun Laohou, who had been paying attention to his daughter's expression, couldn't help but sigh secretly.

My daughter, after all, was harmed by the county master's vanity and couldn't bear the injustice.

Think about Xiang Yizhen. If Mr. Sun Laohou has any clues, think about Luo Yuanniang who passed away.

The fifth lady pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

If we don’t resolve this matter today, there’s no telling what will happen to my daughter when she goes back.

Sun Laohou persuaded his daughter: You will have a long life in the future. In the future, you will have many places to rely on the Marquis. Besides, the Marquis is a man who knows what is good and what is good. What is lost is gained in the east. Maybe if you take a step back this time,

It's up to you to take the next step. As he said that, Mr. Sun thought of Xu Lingyi's expression when he said Eleven Niang was a green during that meeting, and his tone became a little stern. Everything is going well with the family. You belong to my Sun family.

My legitimate daughter, please don’t do anything that is disrespectful to the family tradition. This will make it impossible for me to hold my head up when I meet Mr. Xu a hundred years later.

Mrs. Dad Wu showed her unwillingness and said angrily, that Eleven Niang

Shut up, Sun Laohou's face darkened, and he interrupted his daughter without hesitation, "Did you call me Eleven Niang? What did I say just now? You turned a deaf ear to me." As he said that, he shouted sharply.

Dao, don’t forget, what is most important to you now?

When her father drank, the fifth lady froze as if she had been struck by lightning. She couldn't help but touch her slightly bulging belly.

Instead, my mind gradually became clearer.

I am really confused. Children are the most important thing. I need to give birth to a son as soon as possible, bring my husband to me, make the wife more satisfied with me, and make my position in the family more stable. This is the most important thing.

The person next to you knows best. If Xu Lingkuan feels that you have been wronged or suffered because of him, he will feel guilty and make concessions in everything. On the contrary, if he feels that you have lied to him, he will

The heart is like a stone, no matter how hard you cry to death, you will not change your mind. So Xu Lingkuan can only use softness to overcome hardness.

Next is the Marquis. To be honest, he has a good mind and is kind to others. As long as you don't do too much, he will usually turn a blind eye. So as long as Xu Lingkuan is the Marquis' younger brother, she will

Don't worry, it's the easiest thing to deal with.

Then there is the madam.

She has gone through a lot of hardships, and she has been given to black people by white people several times. At this age, she naturally does not want to make trouble again, and would rather be a muddleheaded Aweng, just looking at the peace and harmony. But after all, she is not an ordinary woman, decisive and resolute in her bones.

I am afraid that nothing about the family is hidden from her elders. Therefore, in front of her elders, it is best to be gentle, courteous and thrifty, and appear to be tolerant and generous.

Seeing his daughter's look of sudden realization, Mr. Sun's face turned slightly and he lowered his voice: "Think about it carefully. Then he got up and left the study. He told the boy to go and call Mama Shi. There are some things that need to be done."

It's good to take preventive measures before they happen. With Shi's mother watching over her, I don't think anything serious will happen.

The fifth lady, who was alone in the small study, took a long breath.

Yes, you can't be confused now. You know, there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world.

Looking at the eleventh mother, she recognized the child with a troubled expression, and stood firm in her rationality. She could not tangle with her openly. Otherwise, not only would she not achieve her goal, but she would also make the Marquis and the

Mrs. Xu Lingkuan was disgusted and became the second Luo Yuanniang.

While she was thinking about it, a little maid nervously invited her to have lunch in the flower hall.

The fifth lady left the study and met Xu Lingkuan on the road.

Why did it take so long? He looked worried, are you okay? Then he helped her carefully.

I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I want to have a good chat with him. The fifth lady looked at her husband carefully and asked, "What do you have to worry about?"

Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, how come I'm not worried? Xu Lingkuan's eyes were sincere and his words were sincere, and he didn't hear the underlying meaning at all.

The fifth lady's heart moved. She said coquettishly: "You say you are worried about me, but you are actually just trying to make me happy. If you are really worried about me, buy me some dried fish to eat."

Xu Lingkuan was startled.

Everyone can make fish dumplings, but Ma's Fish Dried Fish Restaurant, which is located in Horse Riding Alley, West Street, is known as one of the best in Yanjing. It only sells a hundred plates a day and doesn't wait for excess. Not to mention that even if you want to eat, you will have to send a waiter.

Go queue up. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. The store for Ma's dried fish has long been closed. Where can I buy it?

But looking at his wife's pouty red lips and thinking of what he had hidden from her, he felt a sudden surge in his heart. He said: "Then just wait. I'll buy it for you."

A trace of surprise flashed in the fifth lady's eyes.

Although Xu Lingkuan was kind to her in the past, he was not so kind to her. He did it knowing that he couldn't do it.

In the flash of flint and lightning, she suddenly had an idea and made a decision.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Since he is so uneasy, why should he point it out?

As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth turned up high.

Fifth Master, please stop. The fifth wife stepped forward and took her husband's arm. What she said was a joke. Why did Fifth Master take it seriously? This drop of water turned into ice. It was the New Year's Day. Where could I buy Ma's dried fish? She warmed it.

She spoke softly, smiled like a flower, and took her husband's arm to the flower hall.

There will be an update at the same time today, don’t wait any longer. Get up early tomorrow and watch it onno~
