Chapter 132 Mother and Child
The two were talking when they suddenly heard the sound of a leisurely flute.
Yuxi's footsteps slowed down unconsciously, and finally stopped in place, listening carefully to the beautiful and melodious sound of the flute.
It took a long time for the sound of the flute to sound, before Bingmei said softly: "It's really nice." She couldn't tell why, but she thought it was nice, ten times better than her girl.
Yuxi murmured: "Of course it sounds good. Even the third sister can't play this song "Spring Day." This song is very difficult, and most people can't play it well. Yuchen is still practicing, and if he wants to reach Chen Ran's level, he will not be able to reach it in a few years.
Bingmei thought that what she said made Yuxi unhappy, so she immediately made up for it: "The girl will definitely play better than the second master of the Chen family in the future."
The corner of Yu Xi's mouth twitched, as long as he worked hard, he could learn the flute nine out of ten times. But learning and learning are two concepts. Learning is easy. As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, you can learn it nine times out of ten. But to learn Jing, one must have extremely high comprehension and talent. And she lacks that bit of talent, so she wants to play better than Chen Ran? It's impossible in this life, let's do it in the next life!
Ali took Chen Ran's flute with both hands, and asked cautiously, "Second Master, why do you want to play the flute suddenly?" Could it be to attract the attention of the girl Han just now. But Ali quickly got rid of this idea. His master could attract the attention of a bunch of girls just by standing there, and he still needed to please other girls.
Chen Ran said calmly: "You can blow it if you want." After finishing speaking, he walked over to fill the water, ignoring the troubled Ali.
When Yuxi returned to the yard, Qiu just woke up.
When they got up, Qiushi and Yuxi said: "It's really old, and my back hurts after walking such a small distance."
Yuxi smiled and said: "Auntie, you still need to move around more on weekdays. Always staying in the house is not good for your health."
Qiu Shi doesn't like to visit, and she doesn't even like to go out to socialize: "I have to go for a quarter of an hour after dinner, I remember what you said."
After tidying up, Zheng was about to go back when he saw Mrs. Taining Hou's Mansion bringing her maid over. Mrs. Tai Ning Hou said with a smile: "I just found out that my mother-in-law is also here to offer incense. Otherwise, I would come over to chat with you."
Qiu's smile was a bit forced, and said: "How dare you bother Mrs. Chen!"
The marriage between Han Jianming and Ye Qing was facilitated by Mrs. Taining Hou, so the Qiu family had a grudge against Mrs. Chen. Who knows if Mrs. Taining Hou knew about Ye Qing's physical condition that day. Although he said that he wanted to let go, Qiu Shi had dissatisfaction in his heart, and he couldn't help but bring it out when he spoke.
Mrs. Taininghou felt that Qiu's attitude was a bit strange, but Mrs. Taininghou was a virtuous person, even if she felt something was wrong, she would not show any abnormality. Instead, she asked with a smile in a common way: "Why did my mother take the fourth girl with me?" Get up? Why didn't Qing'er come with you?"
Qiu said: "She wants to have a baby at home, so she can't leave."
Mrs. Taining Hou knew that Ye Qing might not have another child before she had a baby. Looking at Qiu's appearance, she felt a little blocked, even if Ye Qing couldn't regenerate, it was because she hurt her body when giving birth to Qiqi. It's too fickle for Qiu Shi to be like this. He was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He still smiled and said: "Qing'er is really a child. Is there any mistress in this big family who would give birth to the child herself. It is also the mother-in-law who is generous, so let her mess around like this. "
Ye Qing's difficulty in conceiving was known to many people, but everyone thought that Ye's inability to conceive was due to physical injuries during childbirth. Few people knew that Ye Qing had difficulty in conceiving in the first place. Because the Han family had many scruples, they did not explain it to the outside world. It is also impossible for Ye Qing and the Ye family to tell Mrs. Taining Hou such a secret matter.
After hearing this, Qiu Shi felt a lot of irony in her heart, and said, "I didn't agree with it that day. The girl chose four for her to choose, but she herself said that she would carry the child herself. I was thinking of her too. There is only one child like Qi Qi in this life, that's why I allowed her."
Mrs. Tai Ninghou didn't even twitch her brows, and said with a smile: "Yes! So Qing'er is a lucky child to meet such a good-natured mother-in-law as her mother-in-law."
Standing behind Qiu Shi, Yuxi listened to Mrs. Taining Hou's aunt changing her attitude towards her after a few words, and sighed in her heart that she had learned some of this skill.
After a while, a little servant girl came in and said, "Ma'am, the second master is back. Let this servant come over and ask Madam when she will be back?"
When Qiu heard that Chen Ran had also come, she was delighted. Chen Ran has a great reputation, and no one in the capital does not know about it. It is luck to meet him here. After saying this, Qiu Shi still looked at Yu Xi. Chen Ran is two years older than Yuxi, and his age is just right. Qiu said with a smile: "It turns out that the second young master has also followed. I remember the last time I saw him, it was when Qing'er married into the Han family!"
What a powerful person Mrs. Taininghou is, and Qiushi is not someone who can hide her emotions. Seeing that there is still something that Qiu's appearance doesn't understand, he said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, I'll go back first, and let's have a good chat next time when I have a chance." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Qiu Yuxi next to Shi. Seeing Yuxi standing there very calmly, with a decent smile on her face.
After hearing this, Qiu Shi said with a smile: "We are going to go back too, why don't we go together!" Qiu Shi wants Yuxi to meet Chen Ran, and if Yuxi thinks Chen Ran is good, he can fight for it.
Mrs. Taining Hou politely refused. When he was leaving, he took a special look at Yu Xi again, and seeing that Yu Xi still had that decent smile on his face, he felt hesitant. Qiu's family can't hide things in her heart, but this girl has deep thoughts.
Seeing off Mrs. Taininghou, Qiu felt a little regretful.
How could Yuxi not know what Qiu Shi was thinking, so she pretended to be unintentional and said, "Auntie, when I went to fetch water from the back mountain just now, I met the second master of the Chen family."
Qiu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How do you feel?"
Naturally, Yuxi would not say that he thought Chen Ran was good, and of course, she would not say that Chen Ran was bad. Pretend to be very strange, and said: "People outside all praise Chen Erye as a fairy boy who descended from the world, but I look like ordinary people, with two eyes, a nose and a mouth, nothing unusual." What Yu Xi meant was that she didn't think Chen Ran was so great.
After hearing this, Qiu laughed, "If it wasn't for the eyes, nose and mouth, it would be a monster."
Yuxi said: "The reason why Second Master Chen is so famous is because he is the second son of the Marquis of Taining, otherwise, he is just an ordinary person." Yuxi's words were not against Chen Ran, but in her heart talk. If Chen Ran wasn't the second son of the Marquis of Taining, without the backing of the Marquis of Taining, he would be just a young man with a little bit of talent, nothing special.
Seeing what Yuxi said, Qiu said with a smile: "There must be something special about him." However, since Yuxi felt that the other party was average, the thoughts that had just surfaced in her mind faded away.
Although Mrs. Taining Hou felt that Yuxi was thinking a little bit deeply, she didn't think too much about it. Because no matter how deep Yu Xi's thoughts are, it has nothing to do with her. But when she heard Ali come over and say that Chen Ran had a long conversation with Han Yuxi today, she became restless. He immediately asked Ali: "Do you remember clearly? It was really the second master who took the initiative to talk to the fourth girl of the Han family?"
Ali said: "Ma'am, it was the second master who took the initiative to say hello to the fourth girl of the Han family."
Mrs. Taining Hou heard it wrong, how did my son know the fourth girl of the Han family? When did you meet? Where did you meet? Why didn't she hear the wind at all.
Ali is still very clear about this, so he immediately told about the two people's meeting with Jiang's family in Taining Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Taining Hou heard that the two had met three times, and became more and more uneasy: "Why didn't you report to me earlier?"
Ali groaned in his heart: "Ma'am, the second master and the fourth girl of the Han family met by chance twice before, and they didn't say a word, and there was nothing unusual about the second master at that time, and the younger one didn't take it seriously. But this time, the second master Grandpa is a little abnormal."
After hearing this, Madam Tai Ninghou pondered for a moment and said: "If the second master has any abnormal behavior, you must report it in time."
Ali nodded and said, "Yes."
Mrs. Taininghou said to her confidant woman: "You think Xiaoran won't really fall in love with that girl of the Han family, right?" Mrs. Taininghou doesn't like Yuxi. That girl has deep thoughts and a bad reputation. No mother. Given her family's conditions, she couldn't pick any kind of daughter-in-law, so why bother choosing such a person.
The confidant mother-in-law comforted her and said: "Madam, don't worry, the second master may just be on a whim. Maybe he will forget it in two days."
Mrs. Taining Hou smiled wryly, but didn't say anything more. If that's the case, then she doesn't have to worry so much, and there's no need for Ali to tell her about her son's condition at any time. She is very indifferent to people, including her mother. These years, no matter how hard she tried, her son's attitude towards her has always been indifferent and has never changed. She knew that what happened back then caused great harm to her son, and his son also had resentment towards them. But there is nothing they can do, and they have been making up for it all these years. Unfortunately, the results were minimal.
When Ali returned to the yard, Chen Ran was practicing calligraphy. What Chen Ran practiced was Zhang Xu's "Heart Sutra in Cursive Script", which is one of the most difficult cursive scripts to practice.
Ali walked into the study, lowered his head and said, "Second Master, except for the matter of Second Master playing the flute, I have told Madam everything you ordered."
After hearing this, Chen Ran didn't even twitch his brows, and said lightly, "Go down!" Chen Ran was already used to Madam Taininghou's behavior. His mother, always in the name of caring for him, controls his every move. Back then, he was angry about this, so he replaced all the servants and those who had served him. But after changing it three times and nothing changed, he didn't bother to change it. Instead of changing people, it is better to subdue the boy and let him say what you want him to say.
