After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 212 Kindness
In the small hut, the smell of food had already wafted.

Ah Qing wanted to help her mother carry the dishes, but her father snatched the job away.She was also happy to be at leisure, and sat down next to Ruan Yuyi, asking questions about the capital.

Ruan Yuyi also answered one by one.

When encountering someone who can interject, Mu Xiang would add a sentence from time to time.It didn't take long for the girls to get to know each other well.

The dishes are very common, and it can even be said that they are a bit simple, and there is not much oil and water in sight.The only meat dish is still a visitor, and the stewed chicken, its color and fragrance, cannot be compared with the royal chef in the palace.

But she knew that it was because of their arrival that she killed a chicken as a treat.

Embarrassed, she didn't touch the meat dish, and just used the one in front of her.

Ah Qing suddenly stopped at the chopsticks, her eyes were dripping, she looked sideways at Mu Xiang, "Isn't this sister eating?"

Mu Xiang shook her head with a smile, "The servant waits for Madam to finish eating before eating, Miss Ah Qing doesn't have to worry about it."

Ah Qing didn't know what to say for a moment.I thought to myself, it turns out that this person is working in this sister's house, and when I saw this dress just now, I thought she was also a young lady.

She took two bites of rice, but she was still not used to being watched by others, even though she knew that Mu Xiang's eyes had never been on her side.

She frequently aimed out of the corner of her eye.

Ruan Yuyi noticed her small movements, fearing that she would use other people's food and make her master uncomfortable, so she said, "Mu Xiang, you can eat together."

On weekdays, Mu Xiang often shared the table with her, but it was only when no one else was around, after all, it was against the rules.

She had no choice but to say, "Ma'am, this servant is not hungry."

After such a long journey, stepping and breathing are exhausting, so there is no reason not to be hungry.

Ruan Yuyi knew that she was concerned about the rules, so she joked, "You stand aside like a Buddha, Miss Ah Qing just pays attention to you, why don't you have the heart to eat, just let him go."

Ah Qing covered her mouth and laughed, echoed a few words, and Mu Xiang agreed.

Fearing that Muxiang might have scruples, she changed the serving chopsticks and held two chopsticks for her, and she turned her eyes away when she saw her eating.

But I saw a few extra pieces of chicken in my bowl, and some oil spots floating in the rice with soup.She looked sideways.

Maybe there is nothing important to do, Jiang Huaiyang is using it slowly, the slender hand is holding a bamboo chopstick with a blackened tail, picking a few strands of vegetable leaves, it seems to stir up some golden thread or silver thread.

She secretly thought it was funny, and clipped some for him.

Ruan Yuyi didn't have the habit of speaking while eating, but Ah Qing's family was much more casual, chatting casually while eating, it was not quite a lively scene.

Ah Qing seemed to suddenly think of something, she spread her hands to her elder brother, "Brother, you should take my new wooden hairpin, I won't split the firewood for you in vain."

"Ah," brother Ah Qing clearly remembered it, but pretended to forget it, "next time, I will definitely remember it next time." He made an annoyed look.

"Next time, every time is the next time.

"Do you have to go to the sedan chair to carry me away before you can remember?"

Ah Qing puffed her cheeks, bowed her head silently, there were clearly tears in her eyes.

The marriage between her and the scholar in the village was originally scheduled for the next year, but because of the bad harvest this year, she couldn't afford the money for the marriage, so it was postponed.It's just that when she thinks about the fact that she won't be able to see her parents every day, she still feels sad.

Now seeing her elder brother being so careless again, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, the porridge in her mouth seemed to be stained with the saltiness of tears, she simply buried her head and sobbed.

Brother Ah Qing took a look and knew that he had teased it, so he hurriedly took out a mahogany hairpin from his skirt, "Remember it, remember it, Jindouzi takes it away."

Ah Qing's parents thought that their daughter was about to get married, so they were more used to it.Seeing her like this, Ah Qingniang's expression darkened, she went over her husband and pinched her son.

He frowned, unable to yell out that sentence of pain.

Ah Qing caught a glimpse of her elder brother's appearance between her fingers, with tears still hanging down, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing that her daughter was well, Ah Qingniang let go of her hand, and coaxed her a few words in a gentle voice.

She personally pinned the wooden hairpin on her daughter's hair, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

Seeing this, Ruan Yuyi thought for a while, and took off the jade bracelet from her hand, "I don't know that my sister is very happy, and I don't have any proper congratulatory gifts on me, just a bracelet to express my heart."

The jade bracelet lay on her white and rosy palm, the pattern was new and delicate, the quality of the jade was clear and free of flakes, so one could tell at a glance that it was worth a lot.

Ah Qing was taken aback, but kept pushing back.I don't know if this bracelet can be worth their family's meals for several years.

"It's just for luck," she said warmly, "Besides, we also have food and lodging with you, so it's embarrassing."

Ah Qing looked at her mother inquiringly, saw her nod, and then took it, thanking her endlessly.

Ah Qing's frame is a bit thicker, wearing this bracelet is not as swaying as Ruan Yuyi's, and even when she raises her hand, it slips to her elbow.

She had never seen such an exquisite gadget before, and kept looking at it while eating.The newly acquired object was still unfamiliar, with a bit of unfamiliar shyness, and he didn't dare to look at it more, so he hid it in his sleeve for the time being.
.
At night, Ah Qing vacated a new room for them to come out, while Mu Xiang and Ah Qing huddled together for the time being.

There is a faint smell of decay in the room, and the furnishings are simple, with only a bed and a few chairs.That bed could barely sleep two people next to each other, but it was much better than sleeping in the open under the wind and snow.

Mu Xiang came in with hot water, and Ruan Yuyi sent her out.

She was not in a hurry to wash up and rest, but she seemed to be afraid of the cold, sitting on Jiang Huaiyang's lap, while twirling his hair and circling her fingertips, "Would you be unhappy, my husband?"

He smelled the fragrance on her neck and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"The concubine gave the imperial gifts to others." She stopped the small movements of her fingertips, and her voice was low.

His voice was lazy and contemptuous, "Young lady did the right thing. You have to repay the favor." Unfortunately, he has never been able to find the person who saved him at the time of Gong Bian, otherwise it would be easy to repay the grace of saving his life.

What's more, it's just a small bracelet. These gold and jade objects are impersonal and can't be more cold and hard. There is no shortage of them in the palace.Not to mention a bracelet, even if she wanted a jade seal, he would probably be able to give it to her for fun.

What he lacks is——

Jiang Huaiyang gently pressed his teeth on the little lady's snowy neck, making her shudder slightly.He changed the place again and left an imprint on her shoulder. Hearing her wailing and pain, he stopped and kissed there to comfort her.

She fell on her back on the small bed made of wooden planks, the mattress underneath was thinner, and the wooden planks hurt her a lot.

He untied the two-finger-wide long crocodile from her wrist, twisted it twice around the bright eyes that were naturally in love with him, and with his fingertips, tied a slipknot on the back of her head.

It was dark before her eyes, she could only grab his wrist and barely figure out where he was.
