Ambush from all sides
Chapter 57
Here you go, won't you accompany your fox? "
"He's still asleep. The little bastard is making too much noise. I'm here to catch him." As he spoke, Zhan Hao opened his mouth and bit Fang Qiu's finger that was pinching his face. The child grinned and screamed silently, and then Laughed again.But I heard that Dad was still sleeping, so I kept my voice down, and kept laughing and moving my mouth.Nie Qi smiled lazily, looking at his son and then at his grandson, his eyes became more and more tired.
It's winter again... No.60 Winter.Nie Qi looked down at the messy large and small footprints on the snow, and felt a little empty in his heart for a while.What else can I expect, the children are all well, this is the best ending.Maybe there is still a little regret, but that's nothing.From now on, they will be able to laugh and laugh in places where they can't see, but it's just that they can't see it.
On the day of the winter solstice, there was a heavy snowfall in Changzhou Mansion, and the snow almost crushed the big-leaf crape myrtle in the front yard.Fang Qiu was wrapped into a small cotton ball, happily rolling around in the snow, and even dragged Min Wei to build him a snowman.
Zhan Hao went out to run some errands, but recently he doesn't need to go for too long, he usually returns within two or three days, so it's not as difficult as before.Withered Ye's stomach became more and more prominent, even wearing a robe, she dared not walk in the snow for fear of slipping.Fang Qiu is still eager, saying that daddy is coming to play with me, Yin Lanci is pinching his little butt, saying wait until your daddy gives birth to your younger brother!
Speaking of production, Yin Lanci is also worried.When a woman gives birth, she knows how to give birth, but this man...asked Dead Leaf, and he couldn't tell.Zhan Hao told him before that Gongsun always has a solution, so there is no need to worry, but it has been more than six months now, and in three more months... even thinking about it gives me a headache.
Until now, Dead Leaf doesn't know where she conceived this little freak, but she knows that he is growing slowly in her stomach, gradually stretching her arms and kicking her legs.Sometimes in the east courtyard, when the cats rubbed against him, little Sanhua would even run up to his stomach.However, Xiaojiao's throne has always been in Dead Leaf's arms, seeing that it was occupied by her daughter, Xiaojiao unceremoniously pushed him away, and swaggered into it.
So Dead Leaf hugged Xiaojiao and muttered, saying what is this little bastard going to do, it doesn't matter where he was born!Is it possible that you really want to cut it out from the stomach with a knife?Touching her stretched belly, Dead Ye sighed silently, feeling more and more depressed.
The season is approaching the end of the year, and the family members are busy one after another.Yin Lanci and a group of little girls started to get busy with New Year's affairs, Zhan Tianxing and Li Feifei walked around Changzhou Mansion every day, sometimes they were so busy that they even called Nie Qi to go.Speaking of Nie Qi, Dead Leaf sometimes worries about his death.I heard from Zhan Hao that it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. At that time, his stomach was only eight months old, not enough to live... In other words, the baby was destined not to see his grandpa.
In fact, he and Nie Qi had no special friendship, it was because of Zhan Hao that they had a relatively close relationship.The respect and concern for him is basically because of Zhan Hao.Seeing him, one would think of the involuntary fate of their family and the inescapable responsibility.Zhan Hao is very similar to Nie Qi, maybe Nie Qi is more gentle, but after going through so much, Zhan Hao is no longer the same as before who doesn't care about anything.The father and son are exactly the same elegant and quiet, gentle and indifferent, the only difference may be that Zhan Hao is still with him, while Nie Qi's lover has been waiting for him in another place for a long time.
What does an unborn baby mean to Nie Qi? Withered Ye dare not jump to conclusions.It's just that sometimes when thinking about the baby, Dead Leaf would secretly hope that he would be like Nie Qi, like Zhan Hao, smart, indifferent, calm and gentle.
Although it is plain, it is the inheritance of their family.What is the meaning of blood, but to see the descendants with their own shadow, continue to linger in this bustling world.Whether you encounter setbacks or smooth sailing, you are continuing to live for yourself.In fact, no one knows what the baby will look like in the future, but Dead Leaf really hopes that he can be a little like grandpa. Looking at it in the future, I can feel more at ease in my heart, and I won’t feel too guilty about missing each other. .
One has just ended and one is about to begin.Thinking about it this way, the birth of the baby seemed to be endowed with a deeper meaning, which made Dead Leaf look forward to and worry more.
Time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and preparations for the New Year have begun.In the past two days, the exhibitors have been busy changing new things, new clothes and quilts, cotton quilts that have just been played in autumn, changing them bed by bed.A lot of new things were bought in Zhan Hao's room. The big wardrobe has long legs, which means that Dead Leaf officially lives in the same room as him, and everything is doubled.When Zhan Hao came back from the outside and saw it, he was quite happy in his heart. He hugged the dead leaves at night and naturally had a good time of intimacy, which made the little fox want to stop every time. When he recovered, he gritted his teeth again.
Now there are only some trivial things left in the business, so Zhan Hao left it to Uncle Zhong and the others, and Uncle Zhong left it to Zheng Dong and Qiu Langxing, which made them very embarrassed.Chong Lian has been staying in Changzhou Mansion, just at Zhong's house, and has been in charge of affairs for a few months, as if she is a new housekeeper.Now at the end of the year, she has to take care of various affairs, and sometimes Yin Lanci tells her that she has to take care of the Zhan family's affairs along the way.
No, some time ago I told a shopkeeper that I wanted new year's goods, and now that the goods arrived, she asked a few guys to bring them over to the Zhan's.At that time, Min Wei was directing the workers to carry new furniture and quilts in the courtyard, and she was very busy.Withered Ye sat on the porch with Fang Qiu in his arms and watched, it happened to be sunny and warm, or he dragged the child into the house early in the morning.
Chong Lian brought the staff in through the side door of the west courtyard, and walked over as if she heard the excitement here or something.Dead Leaf saw her from a distance, and said hello between her eyes, the girl's expression was indifferent, her gaze only stayed on him for a moment, and then she glanced over to Minwei.
Min Wei was directing to the laborers with her hips akimbo, she inadvertently blinked her eyes, and found that there seemed to be a very annoying person in her field of vision.Taking a closer look, I saw Chonglian standing under the tree, staring at her with arms crossed and a half-smile.The little girl's eyes widened all of a sudden, and she gave her a menacing look.Dead Leaf was stunned watching from the side, thinking to herself why didn't she find that these two girls didn't see each other before?Looking at the intensity in Minwei's eyes, it was as if she wanted to peel off Chonglian's skin.
Chong Lian was not angry at all, and she didn't have any other reactions, she just curled her lips and smiled contemptuously, as if she looked down on the little girl in her eyes.Min Wei got a little angry, straightened her back and sneered, and said, "The housekeeper is really busy, it's almost Chinese New Year, and he doesn't do his job well, what are you doing here?"
When she said this, her eyes narrowed reluctantly, and she pulled her lips at Chong Lian with her delicate chin.Chong Lian raised her eyebrows leisurely, and after a while, the corners of her mouth curled up a little, and said unhurriedly: "Anyway, I didn't come to see you."
When Min Wei heard this, her small face was so angry that it almost exploded, her apricot core eyes were wide open, and she couldn't help but raised her voice and cursed loudly: "Who the hell wants you to see! Who cares! I Let the Fourth Young Master Wang see it and not let you see it!"
Dead Leaf watched from the side, blinking his eyes, his head was a little confused.Fang Qiu also stared blankly, raised her face and asked, Dad, who is that tall sister, she seems to have seen it twice, but she is not very familiar with her.The child spoke softly, but somehow Minwei noticed it, and stared angrily at this side.The dead leaf was stared blankly by her, and her face couldn't help being innocent and confused: "What's wrong?"
Min Wei glared at him, and from the corner of her eye she glanced angrily at Chong Lian who was still calm, then turned around and shouted angrily at the dead leaves: "What are you looking at! There's so much smoke and dust here!" How can I explain to the young master when I'm choking! Go back to the room now! Fang Qiu is the same, he knows how to play every day, don't hurry up and study, or he will be disgusted by the husband next year!"
Withered Ye and Fang Qiu were sitting in the porch, their eyes were wide open, they were both puzzled and felt innocent and wronged.After a while the little girl left angrily, Chong Lian pursed her lips and smiled slowly, looked at them with some sympathy in her eyes, then turned around and left, leaving one big and one young in a mess in the corridor.
Zhan Hao came back in the afternoon, and when he entered the middle hall, he saw Dead Ye and Fang Qiu sitting at the table lifeless.Young Master Zhan was still thinking about what had happened, and looked down, only to see that Fang Qiu was reciting poems in a low voice while holding a book.He was a little stunned, and asked what's the matter with a smile on his face, why are you reciting poems, are you not playing anymore?
Withered Ye raised her head to look at him depressedly, and said in a dry voice, "Today, Min Wei is pissing me and Fang Qiu."
Zhan Hao was stunned for a moment, he couldn't laugh or cry on his face: "Isn't she an old vicious person, still not used to it?"
"No..." Withered Ye pursed her lips and denied, her brows were also frowned, "It's different, her fierceness before is not the same as her fierceness today. When Chonglian came in the morning, she and Chonglian During the quarrel, Fang Qiu and I happened to be next to each other, and she got aggressive towards us."
"Ah," Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows as if suddenly realized, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Chonglian, the two of them have always been at odds, and they will quarrel when they meet, don't worry about it. If you see them on the same page in the future, you quickly hide Just open it, Min Wei's anger is very serious."
After hearing this, Dead Leaf and Fang Qiu couldn't help raising their eyes to look at him sadly, still looking depressed.Zhan Hao was a little amused, stretched out his hands to rub their faces for a while, and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, don't be unhappy, her bad temper will be fine in two days." After speaking, he moved his palms to Withered Ye snorted a bit on his head, bent down and whispered in his ear: "Cheer up, there will be guests coming over later."
Withered Leaf was depressed at first, but at this moment he raised it depressedly, and looked at him with a disinterested look: "Who is it?"
Zhan Hao smiled, but his eyes were very flat, and the smile didn't get into his eyes.He pursed his lips indifferently, and said in a low voice, "Your brother, Cen Jing."
Hearing this name, not only Dead Leaf, but even Fang Qiu sat up straight with staring eyes, staring at Zhan Hao in astonishment and resistance: "What is he doing here?!"
Zhan Hao shrugged his shoulders, also looking unhappy: "I don't know, he said there was something important. Ah, and, he knew you were pregnant." As he spoke, Zhan Hao looked helplessly at The little fox in his eyes seemed to be saying, "I don't know how he knows."Dead Leaf was dumbfounded for a while, and then suddenly exploded: "How could he...! No one told him!"
"I don't quite understand this. I saw him outside Fengyuan Building just now, and he said he would buy some small gifts for his future nephew, and he would come later. Do you want to..." Zhan Hao pointedly looked at the other side of the room Side, meaning to ask him if he wants to hide.Withered Ye's face was a bit stinky, pulled Fang Qiu up, turned around and walked towards the room.Zhan Hao watched the two walk over quickly, then he fixed his brows and eyes, turned around and walked towards the gate.
In fact, Zhan Hao can probably guess how Cen Jing knew about this matter, maybe he knew it earlier than they did—after all, he is the heir of Guihu Cen's family, and his deduction ability is not much different from that of Shen Xiangqi Four Blades.Zhan Hao felt a little unhappy, because this guy clearly knew about this possibility, but kept it in his heart, and didn't reveal the slightest bit of information to them.Otherwise, he would not be so shocked when he found out about the pregnancy, and he could comfort Dead Leaf well.
Walking to the door and opening it, Cen Jing just led the horse and walked down the steps, with a cynical face still smiling casually.Zhan Hao glanced at him unhurriedly, seeing that his hands were empty, a smile that wasn't even a smile appeared on his lips, and said, "Isn't my brother-in-law going to buy a gift for my son? Where is it?"
Cen Jing walked up the steps lazily, looked at him with a smile, and then walked in the door familiarly: "Boss Zhan, what's the hurry, the gift for my little nephew, naturally I have to show it to my brother first. "
"He's taking a nap, and he won't wake up until the end of the day." Zhan Hao followed him with lowered eyes, seeing his relaxed and joyful footsteps, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.The last time he came, Zhan Hao clearly remembered that he kissed the little fox before leaving.This kind of person Zhan Hao has always been annoying, and his strength should not be underestimated, but he is also inextricably linked with the person he cares about the most, so he can't do it ruthlessly... Tsk, it's really troublesome.
So Young Master Zhan silently narrowed his eyes behind his brother-in-law, with a calculating expression of dissatisfaction on his face.Cen Jing didn't care, he was confident, swaggered to the middle hall and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.Zhan Hao followed him and sat down, raised his chin and looked at Cen Jing calmly, there was no welcome emotion in his eyes, but seemed a bit critical and alienated.
Cen Jing reclined in the chair without sitting, with one leg bent and stepped on the chair, drinking tea while looking at Zhan Hao and smiling slowly.Zhan Hao glanced at him coldly for a while, then asked coolly: "My brother-in-law said, I have something important to tell you about this time, is it about Cen Bie's pregnancy?"
"Almost..." Cen Jing squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, as if a little tantalizing, "However, I have to wait until my brother wakes up to tell him about it."
After hearing this, Zhan Hao lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea unhurriedly: "What you tell him is the same as what you tell me."
"You are you, he is him, how can it be the same?" Cen Jing smiled while holding his teacup, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of provocative emotions.When Zhan Hao saw him, he couldn't help smiling for a moment, his eyes slowly narrowed, and he shook his head, as if he disapproved of him: "Cen Bie is my married wife, and now she is pregnant with my child." , that is, a member of my Zhan family. I am his husband-in-law, and I am in charge of his food and clothing, everything big and small. You told him, but in the end you still have to point me to do it. Now, like this , can you still say that he is him and I am me?"
Cen Jing sat crookedly in his chair and pouted his lips for a while, then lowered his eyes, looked at Zhan Hao in thought for a while, and finally sat up straight: "Boss Zhan is too possessive, so I won't argue with you anymore, until now." Let's just say it straight... I counted it as early as this morning. My brother's body, if you count it, it should be more than seven months, right?"
"Ask if you know." Zhan Hao looked at him expressionlessly, not interested in his information.Cen Jing pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, sighed, and said again: "I guess you all think that my brother will not give birth until the next year's Jingzhe. As for me, I am here this time to remind you..." As he spoke, Cen Jing decided He raised his eyes slowly, "My little nephew is a little impatient, and he will be born after the Chinese New Year. You can figure it out."
When Zhan Hao heard this, he immediately frowned, his eyes full of thought and disbelief: "It was only eight months at that time."
"That's right, eight months," Cen Jing raised his eyebrows, with a look of whether you believe it or not, "That's why he is said to be impatient, and I don't know who he looks like." He also pointedly said Glancing at Zhan Hao, his expression was unhurried.Zhan Hao lowered his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows.Eight months, could it be said that the little fox was born prematurely?But no, listening to his tone is more like a natural birth.But how come, only eight months...
The two sat silently facing each other in the middle hall. After a while, the closed door of Zhan Hao's room was suddenly knocked open from the inside at the other end of the yard, and Fang Qiu fell outside with an "ouch".Zhan Hao and Cen Jing turned their heads to look over, and saw the little guy getting up with a sad face, behind him, the dead leaf was struggling to protect his stomach and squatting on the ground, stretching out his hand in embarrassment to pull the little guy.It seemed that two people were lying behind the door panel to eavesdrop on their conversation, but the child didn't hold on tightly and knocked the door open.
Seeing their distressed appearance, Cen Jing sat in the chair and laughed, and then raised his voice to greet the dead leaves: "Second brother! Why don't you come out to see me when you wake up?" Turning to look at Zhan Hao meaningfully.The lie was exposed, Zhan Hao didn't feel any embarrassment, he just glanced at Cen Jing nonchalantly.On the opposite side, Dead Leaf felt a little overwhelmed, so she quickly pulled Fang Qiu in.Seeing him, Cen Jing shouted again with a smile: "Second Brother, since you're up, come over and have a chat with me, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Dead Leaf sullenly sullenly, glared at Cen Jing angrily, then closed the door with a bang.Cen Jing pursed his lips in the middle hall and smiled, then turned to look at Zhan Hao, and said, "Tsk, my brother really doesn't like me, huh?"
Zhan Hao raised the end of his eyes and glanced at him, then looked away indifferently: "Since brother-in-law is so self-aware, how about leaving the present and leaving later?"
"Leave later?" Cen Jing laughed loudly, becoming more and more disoriented in the chair: "How can I go back so soon, I still want to watch the birth of my little nephew! Boss Zhan, don't worry, I I won't leave so soon, after all, my brother is still here, don't you think?"
Looking at Cen Jing's cunning eyes, Zhan Hao narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly.Since the brother-in-law wants to play, then he will play with him for a while. What he lacks the most is the constant calculation.
In the evening, Yin Lanci and Zhan Tianxing came back from errands, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Cen Jing harassing the little girl Minwei in the lobby.Min Wei was cleaning, he stood aside and kept talking to others, saying, Sister Xingheyan, why are you so unhappy seeing me this time?Ouch, my temper seems to have turned bad!Didn't you look more reserved and gentle last time, hey, hey, why are you still scolding people?
Minwei was annoyed and irritable by him, and she was provoked by Chonglian just this morning, so her heart became more and more angry.After she couldn't hold on for a while, she threw the rag and began to scold Cen Jing in a shrill voice, saying that she was crazy, she was sick, her brain was broken, and so on.What else did Cen Jing hear, "Your brother is so obedient and obedient, why are you acting like a fool"?Tsk, when did his brother become obedient, why didn't he know?
Yin Lanci and Zhan Tianxing looked at each other at the door, wondering who is this person?Behind him, Nie Qi strolled up to take a look, with a surprised and calm expression on his face, he said with interest, "Hey, isn't this the daughter-in-law's younger brother?"
younger brother?Yin Lanci raised her eyes and thought for a while, then remembered that it should be the young head of Guihu Cen's family, named Cen Jing, why did he come suddenly?The three of them walked over unhurriedly, and Cen Jing saw it in a blink of an eye, and immediately put away the flirting with Minwei, turned around and turned into a generous and polite look, and saluted the three of them, saying He said loudly, "Master Zhan, Mrs. Zhan, and Mr. Nie."
"You are Cen Jing, right?" Yin Lanci liked him a little when he saw that he was full of energy and his brows and eyes were radiant.Cen Jing is very polite in front of his elders, his ability to guess people's hearts is no worse than Zhan Hao's, and he knows that elders like those juniors who are energetic, sensible and generous.So there was a smile between his brows and eyes, hey, that energetic and well-behaved energy came out.Seeing him changing so quickly, Min Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes, grabbed the rag and walked out cursing.Yin Lanci didn't know what happened to her little girl today, so she smiled apologetically at Cen Jing, and stretched out her hand to ask him to sit down: "Sit down... Are you here to see your brother? I heard you can deduce By fortune telling, I probably know about his pregnancy."
"Of course I know about that." Cen Jing sat down obediently, and poured Yin Lanci a cup of tea very attentively: "The younger generation is here this time, just to remind Boss Zhan. The little nephew is going to be born, just around the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid you don't know it yet, so I'll let you know as soon as possible, so that you can prepare well so that you won't be surprised when the time comes."
"Before and after Chinese New Year?!" Yin Lanci was startled, and Zhan Tianxing also widened his eyes.Nie Qi was lazily lighting a cigarette at the side, but he raised his eyes all of a sudden, and stared fixedly at Cen Jing.
Around Chinese New Year—meaning, he still had a chance to see his grandson.
Cen Jing seemed very satisfied with their reaction, nodded his head a little leisurely, and said: "Well, it was around the Chinese New Year. But I am not yet proficient in the way of deduction, so I can't figure out the exact day. I guess it will take another day In a few days, wait until the fifteenth day of the full moon before you can do a proper calculation."
"Okay, okay, you must do the calculations! Ah, let's calculate whether my grandson is healthy or fruitful!" Yin Lanci was so excited that she was incoherent, holding her husband's hand and shaking it back and forth.Cen Jing smiled and agreed, and comforted her, saying how could the baby be bad, it is the son of Boss Zhan, and he will definitely be a dragon and phoenix in the future.This flattery was so flattering that Nie Qi thought it was funny when he heard it. The youngest of the Cen family is so smarter than his brother with a single mouth. It's no wonder that the boss Cen would pass the position to him.His skill of pretending to be false is probably only a little worse than Zhan Hao's.
So Cen Jing lived in Zhan's house generously, and ate lively with them at night.At that time, Dead Leaf had just come out of the room covertly, and when he was sitting at the dining table, Cen Jing stared at his stomach meaningfully for a long time, feeling helpless and unhappy.He remembered that in the spring, he told Dead Ye about this matter, but he didn't want him to suffer from the pain of pregnancy. Unexpectedly, he was sowed by that bastard Zhan Hao.
Speaking of Zhan Hao, that guy was making out with the dead leaves at the dinner table, serving soup with vegetables, with an extremely gentle and delicate appearance.Dead Leaves was used to it at first, but today he felt a little uncomfortable being watched by his younger brother.Cen Jing didn't even bother to say a word to him, and was well protected by Zhan Hao, as if he wouldn't let him see.Cen Xiaodi squinted his eyes a little bit unhappy, the corners of his mouth curled up coldly, and he turned his face to talk to Yin Lanci about the birth.
"Aunt Yin, it's almost Chinese New Year anyway, and Mr. Gongsun is going back to Xiaoyao Island. Why don't we invite him over earlier, maybe when my brother will give birth?"
As soon as he said this, Dead Ye who was sitting opposite immediately opened his eyes wide.He didn't know about it yet, Zhan Hao was afraid that he would scare him, and planned to tell him tonight, but now Cen Jing exposed it.Withered Leaf stared at her younger brother in disbelief: "Cen Jing, what did you say?"
Cen Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at him innocently, with a surprised tone: "Why, didn't Boss Zhan tell you? I told him as soon as I came this afternoon. You are going to have a baby during the Chinese New Year. Can't wait until next year."
With a pale face, Dead Ye turned her head angrily and stared at Zhan Hao.Zhan Hao took a deep breath, and facing his lover with questioning eyes, he quickly showed a comforting smile: "I'm afraid you will be scared, so I want to talk to you slowly tonight. Don't get too excited , It’s all right, I’ve already written a letter to Mr. Gongsun, and I’ve told you all about the situation, he’ll be here in two days, and it’s not too late to plan. It’s all right, don’t worry.” After finishing speaking, he said With a good temper, he stretched out his hand to support the shoulder of his own fox, and kneaded it to comfort him.Dead Leaf was staring, but after a while, she slowly calmed down, but her expression was still a little hesitant and confused.
Cen Jing squinted his eyes, and said to himself, good job, Zhan Hao, you managed my brother in a few words, not bad.On the opposite side, Zhan Hao was comforting his lover, but for a moment his eyelids slightly lifted, and he sneered at Cen Jing with the corners of his mouth curled up—fight with me, you are still young.
Oh yes.Cen Jing also smiled coldly, seeing Zhan Hao's displeasure even more.In fact, he didn't want to make trouble, but he just didn't want this bastard to deceive his brother so easily and make him work so hard to give birth to a son.It would be too cheap for him if he didn't make things difficult for him!Just thinking about it like this, the younger brother of the Cen family pursed his lips, and his eyes became more and more malicious.
After returning to the room at night, Zhan Hao poured hot water to soak the dead leaves' feet. The water was scalding, which was just acceptable.Zhan Hao squatted in front of the pedals and slowly rubbed his feet, and then rubbed his calves along the way.Withered Ye quietly looked at his lowered eyelids, with a preoccupied look in his eyes, and couldn't help asking in a low voice for a while: "Cen Jing, did he really tell you that the baby will come out during the Chinese New Year?"
"Well, I don't know if it's true or not." Zhan Hao raised his head to look at him, and then continued to knead the fox's paw: "Your brother, you are so weak, I really don't know whether to believe what he said." Young Master Zhan didn't have the slightest psychological burden to speak ill of his brother-in-law, he just opened his mouth, but Dead Leaf also agreed, saying: "When I was young, he often pretended to be sick. Pass."
Zhan Hao was a little happy when he heard that, and thought it was good that the little fox didn't like his brother.Now you don't have to worry about Cen Jing playing tricks, anyway, Cen Bie won't turn to him.
"However, I was always naughty when I was a child. I was even worse when I was a child, and I have no position to criticize him." Dead Leaf felt guilty because she thought of leaving her brother behind.Zhan Hao lowered his head and said nothing, but the corner of his mouth twitched, feeling bad again in his heart.Tsk, no, Cen is still soft-hearted.That guy Cen Jing has a dark stomach, so he might make some bad moves.When the time comes to show weakness and pretend to be pitiful, maybe the little fox won't be able to hold back anymore.
"Don't think about the past, it's useless to regret it." Zhan Hao said lightly, dried his feet with a towel, put him on the bed and tucked him under the quilt.Withered Ye lay down and sank into the soft bedding, looking at Zhan Hao quietly.Provoked by his quiet and obedient appearance, Zhan Hao felt a little itchy in his heart, and couldn't help but bent down and kissed him on the cheek.Withered Ye closed her eyes, and opened them again after Zhan Hao straightened up, her eyes were still so quiet.Zhan Hao touched his face, and asked in a low voice, "You've been looking at me, what are you thinking about?"
Rubbing his head on the pillow for a while, Dead Leaf half-closed his eyes in a bit of sleepiness, and said hoarsely: "It's better to be born earlier, the baby can at least see grandpa."
...So I was thinking about this.Zhan Hao rubbed his hair with a smile, leaned over and hugged him, and said, "Oh, let Dad hear it, he must think that his daughter-in-law is really filial, and he can still think of him at this time. Hey, son's Good eyesight."
"Go away, what's wrong with your eyesight, maybe they think you didn't find a beautiful one back. This one can't speak, and doesn't know how to work." Dead Leaf pushed him with closed eyes, muttering.Zhan Hao smiled and kissed him for a long while, and said stickyly while rubbing: "It's a good thing that you have a baby now, or you would have to add that you won't have a baby."
"Hmph." Withered Leaf hummed, and buried her face in the pillow for a while.After a long while, Zhan Hao heard him say in a muffled voice, "I don't know what I'm pregnant with yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Hao subconsciously raised his eyes.He stretched out his hand and pulled the little fox's face out. Withered Ye's eyes were a little dodgy, and his face was full of thoughts, as if he was very worried about the baby: "I was born at eight months, and I don't know what's wrong. How can ordinary children have eight months?" It just came out, not to say that it was premature..."
Seeing that the little fox was so worried, Zhan Hao reached out and hugged him into his arms, comfortingly said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Feel it yourself, isn't he still greeting you?" As he said that, Zhan Hao grabbed his hand and put it on his swollen belly, slowly whirling: "I kicked you before, turned over in it, you forgot? You still think that he is a freak, and the baby knows that he should be sad." It's okay...don't be afraid, the little guy is doing well, he's healthy, he's fine."
Withered Leaf patted her stomach sullenly, still frowning.The baby is probably already asleep now, so there is not much movement. Put your palm on it and feel it carefully, and you can only feel the little guy's subtle heartbeat.Zhan Hao hugged him, kissed his ear, and rubbed his hair.Withered leaves nestled in his arms, turned to face him for a while, frowned and asked: "Cen Jing knows when the baby will be born by fortune telling, right? Then he can also figure out... what kind of baby will be born?" ?”
When Zhan Hao heard this, the gentle expression on his face suddenly froze - he didn't want his fox to have too much contact with Cen Jing!Not at all!Withered Ye originally looked at him with questioning eyes, but when she saw her usually steady lover squinting her eyes and frowning, with a hesitant and calculating expression on her face, Withered Ye was a little stunned.To be honest, he had never seen Zhan Hao like this before, Zhan Hao was used to being calm, and his calculations were all behind his back.But now, he is like a big kid who has been robbed of his treasure, with some plots and tricks in his mind, planning to snatch back what belongs to him.Dead Leaf narrowed her eyes, couldn't help poking Zhan Hao's cheek with her finger, and said, "What do you want to do to my brother?"
my brother!Zhan Hao's eyes widened for a moment, and he couldn't help but change his name!He stared, several thoughts running through his mind.After a while, he looked down at his serious lover, with a pitiful face, and said, "Bie Cen, don't play with your brother tomorrow, okay?"
"What?" Dead Leaf frowned, with a puzzled expression of "you're kidding me": "What do you mean—don't play with him?"
Zhan Hao hugged him and rubbed him vigorously, pretending to be sad and said: "Last time when he was in Suzhou, he kissed you secretly. I haven't bothered with him yet. I still want to abduct you. What did you say in Kaifeng? I reserved a room for you, God knows what he wants to do this time..."
Dead Leaves sounded a little silly, what Zhan Hao said... seemed to be jealous?He was stunned for a long time in disbelief, and it took him a while to realize that Zhan Hao was really jealous, and what's more, it was his brother-in-law's jealousy.He gently combed Zhan Hao's hair with his fingers, and wanted to laugh for a moment: "Cen Jing just came to see the baby, what else could he do, you really think too much."
Zhan Hao didn't answer, just put his face into his shoulder, and raised it after a while: "I don't care, you don't get in touch with him, don't go wherever he tells you, just stay at home, and I'll give you something to eat Don't eat it either..."
"I can still be abducted by him with food?!" Withered Leaf was speechless, and pulled his hair with his hand in a funny way.Zhan Hao hugged him, pulled the quilt for a while and wrapped the two of them together, hugged the dead leaves and had a kiss, it was really hard to take care of the baby when he was making a fuss about him.Zhan Hao kissed his face, kissed his shoulder, and bit his earlobe for a while to grind, whispering in a low voice while kissing: "You are mine, the person is my heart, my body is mine, and the belly is mine." The baby is mine too, don't run away with others!"
"I'm not going to run away!" Dead Leaf was so troubled by him, it was funny and furious.After making a fuss for quite a while, Zhan Hao finally calmed down with his arms around him, his hands still holding his wrists domineeringly, as if locking him.Withered Ye stared at him panting, and said helplessly, "I just promise you, and don't talk to him too much."
"Really...?" Young Master Zhan raised his head, with a triumphant smile on his face.
"Really." Withered Ye curled the corner of her mouth, and finally couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him with a smile.
Eight
In the next few days, Dead Leaf really didn't go out, Ren Cenjing wandered around in the yard outside, but didn't see him come out.Brother Cen rubbed his chin and was still muttering in his heart, thinking that second brother really hates himself to this extent?Looking at Zhan Hao again, sometimes Zhan Tianxing dragged him into the lobby to discuss matters, and the two of them looked at each other from a distance from time to time, and he would smile faintly at himself.
"He's still asleep. The little bastard is making too much noise. I'm here to catch him." As he spoke, Zhan Hao opened his mouth and bit Fang Qiu's finger that was pinching his face. The child grinned and screamed silently, and then Laughed again.But I heard that Dad was still sleeping, so I kept my voice down, and kept laughing and moving my mouth.Nie Qi smiled lazily, looking at his son and then at his grandson, his eyes became more and more tired.
It's winter again... No.60 Winter.Nie Qi looked down at the messy large and small footprints on the snow, and felt a little empty in his heart for a while.What else can I expect, the children are all well, this is the best ending.Maybe there is still a little regret, but that's nothing.From now on, they will be able to laugh and laugh in places where they can't see, but it's just that they can't see it.
On the day of the winter solstice, there was a heavy snowfall in Changzhou Mansion, and the snow almost crushed the big-leaf crape myrtle in the front yard.Fang Qiu was wrapped into a small cotton ball, happily rolling around in the snow, and even dragged Min Wei to build him a snowman.
Zhan Hao went out to run some errands, but recently he doesn't need to go for too long, he usually returns within two or three days, so it's not as difficult as before.Withered Ye's stomach became more and more prominent, even wearing a robe, she dared not walk in the snow for fear of slipping.Fang Qiu is still eager, saying that daddy is coming to play with me, Yin Lanci is pinching his little butt, saying wait until your daddy gives birth to your younger brother!
Speaking of production, Yin Lanci is also worried.When a woman gives birth, she knows how to give birth, but this man...asked Dead Leaf, and he couldn't tell.Zhan Hao told him before that Gongsun always has a solution, so there is no need to worry, but it has been more than six months now, and in three more months... even thinking about it gives me a headache.
Until now, Dead Leaf doesn't know where she conceived this little freak, but she knows that he is growing slowly in her stomach, gradually stretching her arms and kicking her legs.Sometimes in the east courtyard, when the cats rubbed against him, little Sanhua would even run up to his stomach.However, Xiaojiao's throne has always been in Dead Leaf's arms, seeing that it was occupied by her daughter, Xiaojiao unceremoniously pushed him away, and swaggered into it.
So Dead Leaf hugged Xiaojiao and muttered, saying what is this little bastard going to do, it doesn't matter where he was born!Is it possible that you really want to cut it out from the stomach with a knife?Touching her stretched belly, Dead Ye sighed silently, feeling more and more depressed.
The season is approaching the end of the year, and the family members are busy one after another.Yin Lanci and a group of little girls started to get busy with New Year's affairs, Zhan Tianxing and Li Feifei walked around Changzhou Mansion every day, sometimes they were so busy that they even called Nie Qi to go.Speaking of Nie Qi, Dead Leaf sometimes worries about his death.I heard from Zhan Hao that it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. At that time, his stomach was only eight months old, not enough to live... In other words, the baby was destined not to see his grandpa.
In fact, he and Nie Qi had no special friendship, it was because of Zhan Hao that they had a relatively close relationship.The respect and concern for him is basically because of Zhan Hao.Seeing him, one would think of the involuntary fate of their family and the inescapable responsibility.Zhan Hao is very similar to Nie Qi, maybe Nie Qi is more gentle, but after going through so much, Zhan Hao is no longer the same as before who doesn't care about anything.The father and son are exactly the same elegant and quiet, gentle and indifferent, the only difference may be that Zhan Hao is still with him, while Nie Qi's lover has been waiting for him in another place for a long time.
What does an unborn baby mean to Nie Qi? Withered Ye dare not jump to conclusions.It's just that sometimes when thinking about the baby, Dead Leaf would secretly hope that he would be like Nie Qi, like Zhan Hao, smart, indifferent, calm and gentle.
Although it is plain, it is the inheritance of their family.What is the meaning of blood, but to see the descendants with their own shadow, continue to linger in this bustling world.Whether you encounter setbacks or smooth sailing, you are continuing to live for yourself.In fact, no one knows what the baby will look like in the future, but Dead Leaf really hopes that he can be a little like grandpa. Looking at it in the future, I can feel more at ease in my heart, and I won’t feel too guilty about missing each other. .
One has just ended and one is about to begin.Thinking about it this way, the birth of the baby seemed to be endowed with a deeper meaning, which made Dead Leaf look forward to and worry more.
Time has entered the twelfth lunar month, and preparations for the New Year have begun.In the past two days, the exhibitors have been busy changing new things, new clothes and quilts, cotton quilts that have just been played in autumn, changing them bed by bed.A lot of new things were bought in Zhan Hao's room. The big wardrobe has long legs, which means that Dead Leaf officially lives in the same room as him, and everything is doubled.When Zhan Hao came back from the outside and saw it, he was quite happy in his heart. He hugged the dead leaves at night and naturally had a good time of intimacy, which made the little fox want to stop every time. When he recovered, he gritted his teeth again.
Now there are only some trivial things left in the business, so Zhan Hao left it to Uncle Zhong and the others, and Uncle Zhong left it to Zheng Dong and Qiu Langxing, which made them very embarrassed.Chong Lian has been staying in Changzhou Mansion, just at Zhong's house, and has been in charge of affairs for a few months, as if she is a new housekeeper.Now at the end of the year, she has to take care of various affairs, and sometimes Yin Lanci tells her that she has to take care of the Zhan family's affairs along the way.
No, some time ago I told a shopkeeper that I wanted new year's goods, and now that the goods arrived, she asked a few guys to bring them over to the Zhan's.At that time, Min Wei was directing the workers to carry new furniture and quilts in the courtyard, and she was very busy.Withered Ye sat on the porch with Fang Qiu in his arms and watched, it happened to be sunny and warm, or he dragged the child into the house early in the morning.
Chong Lian brought the staff in through the side door of the west courtyard, and walked over as if she heard the excitement here or something.Dead Leaf saw her from a distance, and said hello between her eyes, the girl's expression was indifferent, her gaze only stayed on him for a moment, and then she glanced over to Minwei.
Min Wei was directing to the laborers with her hips akimbo, she inadvertently blinked her eyes, and found that there seemed to be a very annoying person in her field of vision.Taking a closer look, I saw Chonglian standing under the tree, staring at her with arms crossed and a half-smile.The little girl's eyes widened all of a sudden, and she gave her a menacing look.Dead Leaf was stunned watching from the side, thinking to herself why didn't she find that these two girls didn't see each other before?Looking at the intensity in Minwei's eyes, it was as if she wanted to peel off Chonglian's skin.
Chong Lian was not angry at all, and she didn't have any other reactions, she just curled her lips and smiled contemptuously, as if she looked down on the little girl in her eyes.Min Wei got a little angry, straightened her back and sneered, and said, "The housekeeper is really busy, it's almost Chinese New Year, and he doesn't do his job well, what are you doing here?"
When she said this, her eyes narrowed reluctantly, and she pulled her lips at Chong Lian with her delicate chin.Chong Lian raised her eyebrows leisurely, and after a while, the corners of her mouth curled up a little, and said unhurriedly: "Anyway, I didn't come to see you."
When Min Wei heard this, her small face was so angry that it almost exploded, her apricot core eyes were wide open, and she couldn't help but raised her voice and cursed loudly: "Who the hell wants you to see! Who cares! I Let the Fourth Young Master Wang see it and not let you see it!"
Dead Leaf watched from the side, blinking his eyes, his head was a little confused.Fang Qiu also stared blankly, raised her face and asked, Dad, who is that tall sister, she seems to have seen it twice, but she is not very familiar with her.The child spoke softly, but somehow Minwei noticed it, and stared angrily at this side.The dead leaf was stared blankly by her, and her face couldn't help being innocent and confused: "What's wrong?"
Min Wei glared at him, and from the corner of her eye she glanced angrily at Chong Lian who was still calm, then turned around and shouted angrily at the dead leaves: "What are you looking at! There's so much smoke and dust here!" How can I explain to the young master when I'm choking! Go back to the room now! Fang Qiu is the same, he knows how to play every day, don't hurry up and study, or he will be disgusted by the husband next year!"
Withered Ye and Fang Qiu were sitting in the porch, their eyes were wide open, they were both puzzled and felt innocent and wronged.After a while the little girl left angrily, Chong Lian pursed her lips and smiled slowly, looked at them with some sympathy in her eyes, then turned around and left, leaving one big and one young in a mess in the corridor.
Zhan Hao came back in the afternoon, and when he entered the middle hall, he saw Dead Ye and Fang Qiu sitting at the table lifeless.Young Master Zhan was still thinking about what had happened, and looked down, only to see that Fang Qiu was reciting poems in a low voice while holding a book.He was a little stunned, and asked what's the matter with a smile on his face, why are you reciting poems, are you not playing anymore?
Withered Ye raised her head to look at him depressedly, and said in a dry voice, "Today, Min Wei is pissing me and Fang Qiu."
Zhan Hao was stunned for a moment, he couldn't laugh or cry on his face: "Isn't she an old vicious person, still not used to it?"
"No..." Withered Ye pursed her lips and denied, her brows were also frowned, "It's different, her fierceness before is not the same as her fierceness today. When Chonglian came in the morning, she and Chonglian During the quarrel, Fang Qiu and I happened to be next to each other, and she got aggressive towards us."
"Ah," Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows as if suddenly realized, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Chonglian, the two of them have always been at odds, and they will quarrel when they meet, don't worry about it. If you see them on the same page in the future, you quickly hide Just open it, Min Wei's anger is very serious."
After hearing this, Dead Leaf and Fang Qiu couldn't help raising their eyes to look at him sadly, still looking depressed.Zhan Hao was a little amused, stretched out his hands to rub their faces for a while, and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, don't be unhappy, her bad temper will be fine in two days." After speaking, he moved his palms to Withered Ye snorted a bit on his head, bent down and whispered in his ear: "Cheer up, there will be guests coming over later."
Withered Leaf was depressed at first, but at this moment he raised it depressedly, and looked at him with a disinterested look: "Who is it?"
Zhan Hao smiled, but his eyes were very flat, and the smile didn't get into his eyes.He pursed his lips indifferently, and said in a low voice, "Your brother, Cen Jing."
Hearing this name, not only Dead Leaf, but even Fang Qiu sat up straight with staring eyes, staring at Zhan Hao in astonishment and resistance: "What is he doing here?!"
Zhan Hao shrugged his shoulders, also looking unhappy: "I don't know, he said there was something important. Ah, and, he knew you were pregnant." As he spoke, Zhan Hao looked helplessly at The little fox in his eyes seemed to be saying, "I don't know how he knows."Dead Leaf was dumbfounded for a while, and then suddenly exploded: "How could he...! No one told him!"
"I don't quite understand this. I saw him outside Fengyuan Building just now, and he said he would buy some small gifts for his future nephew, and he would come later. Do you want to..." Zhan Hao pointedly looked at the other side of the room Side, meaning to ask him if he wants to hide.Withered Ye's face was a bit stinky, pulled Fang Qiu up, turned around and walked towards the room.Zhan Hao watched the two walk over quickly, then he fixed his brows and eyes, turned around and walked towards the gate.
In fact, Zhan Hao can probably guess how Cen Jing knew about this matter, maybe he knew it earlier than they did—after all, he is the heir of Guihu Cen's family, and his deduction ability is not much different from that of Shen Xiangqi Four Blades.Zhan Hao felt a little unhappy, because this guy clearly knew about this possibility, but kept it in his heart, and didn't reveal the slightest bit of information to them.Otherwise, he would not be so shocked when he found out about the pregnancy, and he could comfort Dead Leaf well.
Walking to the door and opening it, Cen Jing just led the horse and walked down the steps, with a cynical face still smiling casually.Zhan Hao glanced at him unhurriedly, seeing that his hands were empty, a smile that wasn't even a smile appeared on his lips, and said, "Isn't my brother-in-law going to buy a gift for my son? Where is it?"
Cen Jing walked up the steps lazily, looked at him with a smile, and then walked in the door familiarly: "Boss Zhan, what's the hurry, the gift for my little nephew, naturally I have to show it to my brother first. "
"He's taking a nap, and he won't wake up until the end of the day." Zhan Hao followed him with lowered eyes, seeing his relaxed and joyful footsteps, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.The last time he came, Zhan Hao clearly remembered that he kissed the little fox before leaving.This kind of person Zhan Hao has always been annoying, and his strength should not be underestimated, but he is also inextricably linked with the person he cares about the most, so he can't do it ruthlessly... Tsk, it's really troublesome.
So Young Master Zhan silently narrowed his eyes behind his brother-in-law, with a calculating expression of dissatisfaction on his face.Cen Jing didn't care, he was confident, swaggered to the middle hall and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.Zhan Hao followed him and sat down, raised his chin and looked at Cen Jing calmly, there was no welcome emotion in his eyes, but seemed a bit critical and alienated.
Cen Jing reclined in the chair without sitting, with one leg bent and stepped on the chair, drinking tea while looking at Zhan Hao and smiling slowly.Zhan Hao glanced at him coldly for a while, then asked coolly: "My brother-in-law said, I have something important to tell you about this time, is it about Cen Bie's pregnancy?"
"Almost..." Cen Jing squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, as if a little tantalizing, "However, I have to wait until my brother wakes up to tell him about it."
After hearing this, Zhan Hao lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea unhurriedly: "What you tell him is the same as what you tell me."
"You are you, he is him, how can it be the same?" Cen Jing smiled while holding his teacup, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of provocative emotions.When Zhan Hao saw him, he couldn't help smiling for a moment, his eyes slowly narrowed, and he shook his head, as if he disapproved of him: "Cen Bie is my married wife, and now she is pregnant with my child." , that is, a member of my Zhan family. I am his husband-in-law, and I am in charge of his food and clothing, everything big and small. You told him, but in the end you still have to point me to do it. Now, like this , can you still say that he is him and I am me?"
Cen Jing sat crookedly in his chair and pouted his lips for a while, then lowered his eyes, looked at Zhan Hao in thought for a while, and finally sat up straight: "Boss Zhan is too possessive, so I won't argue with you anymore, until now." Let's just say it straight... I counted it as early as this morning. My brother's body, if you count it, it should be more than seven months, right?"
"Ask if you know." Zhan Hao looked at him expressionlessly, not interested in his information.Cen Jing pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, sighed, and said again: "I guess you all think that my brother will not give birth until the next year's Jingzhe. As for me, I am here this time to remind you..." As he spoke, Cen Jing decided He raised his eyes slowly, "My little nephew is a little impatient, and he will be born after the Chinese New Year. You can figure it out."
When Zhan Hao heard this, he immediately frowned, his eyes full of thought and disbelief: "It was only eight months at that time."
"That's right, eight months," Cen Jing raised his eyebrows, with a look of whether you believe it or not, "That's why he is said to be impatient, and I don't know who he looks like." He also pointedly said Glancing at Zhan Hao, his expression was unhurried.Zhan Hao lowered his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows.Eight months, could it be said that the little fox was born prematurely?But no, listening to his tone is more like a natural birth.But how come, only eight months...
The two sat silently facing each other in the middle hall. After a while, the closed door of Zhan Hao's room was suddenly knocked open from the inside at the other end of the yard, and Fang Qiu fell outside with an "ouch".Zhan Hao and Cen Jing turned their heads to look over, and saw the little guy getting up with a sad face, behind him, the dead leaf was struggling to protect his stomach and squatting on the ground, stretching out his hand in embarrassment to pull the little guy.It seemed that two people were lying behind the door panel to eavesdrop on their conversation, but the child didn't hold on tightly and knocked the door open.
Seeing their distressed appearance, Cen Jing sat in the chair and laughed, and then raised his voice to greet the dead leaves: "Second brother! Why don't you come out to see me when you wake up?" Turning to look at Zhan Hao meaningfully.The lie was exposed, Zhan Hao didn't feel any embarrassment, he just glanced at Cen Jing nonchalantly.On the opposite side, Dead Leaf felt a little overwhelmed, so she quickly pulled Fang Qiu in.Seeing him, Cen Jing shouted again with a smile: "Second Brother, since you're up, come over and have a chat with me, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Dead Leaf sullenly sullenly, glared at Cen Jing angrily, then closed the door with a bang.Cen Jing pursed his lips in the middle hall and smiled, then turned to look at Zhan Hao, and said, "Tsk, my brother really doesn't like me, huh?"
Zhan Hao raised the end of his eyes and glanced at him, then looked away indifferently: "Since brother-in-law is so self-aware, how about leaving the present and leaving later?"
"Leave later?" Cen Jing laughed loudly, becoming more and more disoriented in the chair: "How can I go back so soon, I still want to watch the birth of my little nephew! Boss Zhan, don't worry, I I won't leave so soon, after all, my brother is still here, don't you think?"
Looking at Cen Jing's cunning eyes, Zhan Hao narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly.Since the brother-in-law wants to play, then he will play with him for a while. What he lacks the most is the constant calculation.
In the evening, Yin Lanci and Zhan Tianxing came back from errands, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Cen Jing harassing the little girl Minwei in the lobby.Min Wei was cleaning, he stood aside and kept talking to others, saying, Sister Xingheyan, why are you so unhappy seeing me this time?Ouch, my temper seems to have turned bad!Didn't you look more reserved and gentle last time, hey, hey, why are you still scolding people?
Minwei was annoyed and irritable by him, and she was provoked by Chonglian just this morning, so her heart became more and more angry.After she couldn't hold on for a while, she threw the rag and began to scold Cen Jing in a shrill voice, saying that she was crazy, she was sick, her brain was broken, and so on.What else did Cen Jing hear, "Your brother is so obedient and obedient, why are you acting like a fool"?Tsk, when did his brother become obedient, why didn't he know?
Yin Lanci and Zhan Tianxing looked at each other at the door, wondering who is this person?Behind him, Nie Qi strolled up to take a look, with a surprised and calm expression on his face, he said with interest, "Hey, isn't this the daughter-in-law's younger brother?"
younger brother?Yin Lanci raised her eyes and thought for a while, then remembered that it should be the young head of Guihu Cen's family, named Cen Jing, why did he come suddenly?The three of them walked over unhurriedly, and Cen Jing saw it in a blink of an eye, and immediately put away the flirting with Minwei, turned around and turned into a generous and polite look, and saluted the three of them, saying He said loudly, "Master Zhan, Mrs. Zhan, and Mr. Nie."
"You are Cen Jing, right?" Yin Lanci liked him a little when he saw that he was full of energy and his brows and eyes were radiant.Cen Jing is very polite in front of his elders, his ability to guess people's hearts is no worse than Zhan Hao's, and he knows that elders like those juniors who are energetic, sensible and generous.So there was a smile between his brows and eyes, hey, that energetic and well-behaved energy came out.Seeing him changing so quickly, Min Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes, grabbed the rag and walked out cursing.Yin Lanci didn't know what happened to her little girl today, so she smiled apologetically at Cen Jing, and stretched out her hand to ask him to sit down: "Sit down... Are you here to see your brother? I heard you can deduce By fortune telling, I probably know about his pregnancy."
"Of course I know about that." Cen Jing sat down obediently, and poured Yin Lanci a cup of tea very attentively: "The younger generation is here this time, just to remind Boss Zhan. The little nephew is going to be born, just around the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid you don't know it yet, so I'll let you know as soon as possible, so that you can prepare well so that you won't be surprised when the time comes."
"Before and after Chinese New Year?!" Yin Lanci was startled, and Zhan Tianxing also widened his eyes.Nie Qi was lazily lighting a cigarette at the side, but he raised his eyes all of a sudden, and stared fixedly at Cen Jing.
Around Chinese New Year—meaning, he still had a chance to see his grandson.
Cen Jing seemed very satisfied with their reaction, nodded his head a little leisurely, and said: "Well, it was around the Chinese New Year. But I am not yet proficient in the way of deduction, so I can't figure out the exact day. I guess it will take another day In a few days, wait until the fifteenth day of the full moon before you can do a proper calculation."
"Okay, okay, you must do the calculations! Ah, let's calculate whether my grandson is healthy or fruitful!" Yin Lanci was so excited that she was incoherent, holding her husband's hand and shaking it back and forth.Cen Jing smiled and agreed, and comforted her, saying how could the baby be bad, it is the son of Boss Zhan, and he will definitely be a dragon and phoenix in the future.This flattery was so flattering that Nie Qi thought it was funny when he heard it. The youngest of the Cen family is so smarter than his brother with a single mouth. It's no wonder that the boss Cen would pass the position to him.His skill of pretending to be false is probably only a little worse than Zhan Hao's.
So Cen Jing lived in Zhan's house generously, and ate lively with them at night.At that time, Dead Leaf had just come out of the room covertly, and when he was sitting at the dining table, Cen Jing stared at his stomach meaningfully for a long time, feeling helpless and unhappy.He remembered that in the spring, he told Dead Ye about this matter, but he didn't want him to suffer from the pain of pregnancy. Unexpectedly, he was sowed by that bastard Zhan Hao.
Speaking of Zhan Hao, that guy was making out with the dead leaves at the dinner table, serving soup with vegetables, with an extremely gentle and delicate appearance.Dead Leaves was used to it at first, but today he felt a little uncomfortable being watched by his younger brother.Cen Jing didn't even bother to say a word to him, and was well protected by Zhan Hao, as if he wouldn't let him see.Cen Xiaodi squinted his eyes a little bit unhappy, the corners of his mouth curled up coldly, and he turned his face to talk to Yin Lanci about the birth.
"Aunt Yin, it's almost Chinese New Year anyway, and Mr. Gongsun is going back to Xiaoyao Island. Why don't we invite him over earlier, maybe when my brother will give birth?"
As soon as he said this, Dead Ye who was sitting opposite immediately opened his eyes wide.He didn't know about it yet, Zhan Hao was afraid that he would scare him, and planned to tell him tonight, but now Cen Jing exposed it.Withered Leaf stared at her younger brother in disbelief: "Cen Jing, what did you say?"
Cen Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at him innocently, with a surprised tone: "Why, didn't Boss Zhan tell you? I told him as soon as I came this afternoon. You are going to have a baby during the Chinese New Year. Can't wait until next year."
With a pale face, Dead Ye turned her head angrily and stared at Zhan Hao.Zhan Hao took a deep breath, and facing his lover with questioning eyes, he quickly showed a comforting smile: "I'm afraid you will be scared, so I want to talk to you slowly tonight. Don't get too excited , It’s all right, I’ve already written a letter to Mr. Gongsun, and I’ve told you all about the situation, he’ll be here in two days, and it’s not too late to plan. It’s all right, don’t worry.” After finishing speaking, he said With a good temper, he stretched out his hand to support the shoulder of his own fox, and kneaded it to comfort him.Dead Leaf was staring, but after a while, she slowly calmed down, but her expression was still a little hesitant and confused.
Cen Jing squinted his eyes, and said to himself, good job, Zhan Hao, you managed my brother in a few words, not bad.On the opposite side, Zhan Hao was comforting his lover, but for a moment his eyelids slightly lifted, and he sneered at Cen Jing with the corners of his mouth curled up—fight with me, you are still young.
Oh yes.Cen Jing also smiled coldly, seeing Zhan Hao's displeasure even more.In fact, he didn't want to make trouble, but he just didn't want this bastard to deceive his brother so easily and make him work so hard to give birth to a son.It would be too cheap for him if he didn't make things difficult for him!Just thinking about it like this, the younger brother of the Cen family pursed his lips, and his eyes became more and more malicious.
After returning to the room at night, Zhan Hao poured hot water to soak the dead leaves' feet. The water was scalding, which was just acceptable.Zhan Hao squatted in front of the pedals and slowly rubbed his feet, and then rubbed his calves along the way.Withered Ye quietly looked at his lowered eyelids, with a preoccupied look in his eyes, and couldn't help asking in a low voice for a while: "Cen Jing, did he really tell you that the baby will come out during the Chinese New Year?"
"Well, I don't know if it's true or not." Zhan Hao raised his head to look at him, and then continued to knead the fox's paw: "Your brother, you are so weak, I really don't know whether to believe what he said." Young Master Zhan didn't have the slightest psychological burden to speak ill of his brother-in-law, he just opened his mouth, but Dead Leaf also agreed, saying: "When I was young, he often pretended to be sick. Pass."
Zhan Hao was a little happy when he heard that, and thought it was good that the little fox didn't like his brother.Now you don't have to worry about Cen Jing playing tricks, anyway, Cen Bie won't turn to him.
"However, I was always naughty when I was a child. I was even worse when I was a child, and I have no position to criticize him." Dead Leaf felt guilty because she thought of leaving her brother behind.Zhan Hao lowered his head and said nothing, but the corner of his mouth twitched, feeling bad again in his heart.Tsk, no, Cen is still soft-hearted.That guy Cen Jing has a dark stomach, so he might make some bad moves.When the time comes to show weakness and pretend to be pitiful, maybe the little fox won't be able to hold back anymore.
"Don't think about the past, it's useless to regret it." Zhan Hao said lightly, dried his feet with a towel, put him on the bed and tucked him under the quilt.Withered Ye lay down and sank into the soft bedding, looking at Zhan Hao quietly.Provoked by his quiet and obedient appearance, Zhan Hao felt a little itchy in his heart, and couldn't help but bent down and kissed him on the cheek.Withered Ye closed her eyes, and opened them again after Zhan Hao straightened up, her eyes were still so quiet.Zhan Hao touched his face, and asked in a low voice, "You've been looking at me, what are you thinking about?"
Rubbing his head on the pillow for a while, Dead Leaf half-closed his eyes in a bit of sleepiness, and said hoarsely: "It's better to be born earlier, the baby can at least see grandpa."
...So I was thinking about this.Zhan Hao rubbed his hair with a smile, leaned over and hugged him, and said, "Oh, let Dad hear it, he must think that his daughter-in-law is really filial, and he can still think of him at this time. Hey, son's Good eyesight."
"Go away, what's wrong with your eyesight, maybe they think you didn't find a beautiful one back. This one can't speak, and doesn't know how to work." Dead Leaf pushed him with closed eyes, muttering.Zhan Hao smiled and kissed him for a long while, and said stickyly while rubbing: "It's a good thing that you have a baby now, or you would have to add that you won't have a baby."
"Hmph." Withered Leaf hummed, and buried her face in the pillow for a while.After a long while, Zhan Hao heard him say in a muffled voice, "I don't know what I'm pregnant with yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Hao subconsciously raised his eyes.He stretched out his hand and pulled the little fox's face out. Withered Ye's eyes were a little dodgy, and his face was full of thoughts, as if he was very worried about the baby: "I was born at eight months, and I don't know what's wrong. How can ordinary children have eight months?" It just came out, not to say that it was premature..."
Seeing that the little fox was so worried, Zhan Hao reached out and hugged him into his arms, comfortingly said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Feel it yourself, isn't he still greeting you?" As he said that, Zhan Hao grabbed his hand and put it on his swollen belly, slowly whirling: "I kicked you before, turned over in it, you forgot? You still think that he is a freak, and the baby knows that he should be sad." It's okay...don't be afraid, the little guy is doing well, he's healthy, he's fine."
Withered Leaf patted her stomach sullenly, still frowning.The baby is probably already asleep now, so there is not much movement. Put your palm on it and feel it carefully, and you can only feel the little guy's subtle heartbeat.Zhan Hao hugged him, kissed his ear, and rubbed his hair.Withered leaves nestled in his arms, turned to face him for a while, frowned and asked: "Cen Jing knows when the baby will be born by fortune telling, right? Then he can also figure out... what kind of baby will be born?" ?”
When Zhan Hao heard this, the gentle expression on his face suddenly froze - he didn't want his fox to have too much contact with Cen Jing!Not at all!Withered Ye originally looked at him with questioning eyes, but when she saw her usually steady lover squinting her eyes and frowning, with a hesitant and calculating expression on her face, Withered Ye was a little stunned.To be honest, he had never seen Zhan Hao like this before, Zhan Hao was used to being calm, and his calculations were all behind his back.But now, he is like a big kid who has been robbed of his treasure, with some plots and tricks in his mind, planning to snatch back what belongs to him.Dead Leaf narrowed her eyes, couldn't help poking Zhan Hao's cheek with her finger, and said, "What do you want to do to my brother?"
my brother!Zhan Hao's eyes widened for a moment, and he couldn't help but change his name!He stared, several thoughts running through his mind.After a while, he looked down at his serious lover, with a pitiful face, and said, "Bie Cen, don't play with your brother tomorrow, okay?"
"What?" Dead Leaf frowned, with a puzzled expression of "you're kidding me": "What do you mean—don't play with him?"
Zhan Hao hugged him and rubbed him vigorously, pretending to be sad and said: "Last time when he was in Suzhou, he kissed you secretly. I haven't bothered with him yet. I still want to abduct you. What did you say in Kaifeng? I reserved a room for you, God knows what he wants to do this time..."
Dead Leaves sounded a little silly, what Zhan Hao said... seemed to be jealous?He was stunned for a long time in disbelief, and it took him a while to realize that Zhan Hao was really jealous, and what's more, it was his brother-in-law's jealousy.He gently combed Zhan Hao's hair with his fingers, and wanted to laugh for a moment: "Cen Jing just came to see the baby, what else could he do, you really think too much."
Zhan Hao didn't answer, just put his face into his shoulder, and raised it after a while: "I don't care, you don't get in touch with him, don't go wherever he tells you, just stay at home, and I'll give you something to eat Don't eat it either..."
"I can still be abducted by him with food?!" Withered Leaf was speechless, and pulled his hair with his hand in a funny way.Zhan Hao hugged him, pulled the quilt for a while and wrapped the two of them together, hugged the dead leaves and had a kiss, it was really hard to take care of the baby when he was making a fuss about him.Zhan Hao kissed his face, kissed his shoulder, and bit his earlobe for a while to grind, whispering in a low voice while kissing: "You are mine, the person is my heart, my body is mine, and the belly is mine." The baby is mine too, don't run away with others!"
"I'm not going to run away!" Dead Leaf was so troubled by him, it was funny and furious.After making a fuss for quite a while, Zhan Hao finally calmed down with his arms around him, his hands still holding his wrists domineeringly, as if locking him.Withered Ye stared at him panting, and said helplessly, "I just promise you, and don't talk to him too much."
"Really...?" Young Master Zhan raised his head, with a triumphant smile on his face.
"Really." Withered Ye curled the corner of her mouth, and finally couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him with a smile.
Eight
In the next few days, Dead Leaf really didn't go out, Ren Cenjing wandered around in the yard outside, but didn't see him come out.Brother Cen rubbed his chin and was still muttering in his heart, thinking that second brother really hates himself to this extent?Looking at Zhan Hao again, sometimes Zhan Tianxing dragged him into the lobby to discuss matters, and the two of them looked at each other from a distance from time to time, and he would smile faintly at himself.
