Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 130 Drinking?

Xu Qingmeng shook her head; it was really just a mental illness.

Xu Qingmeng glanced inside: "What are Boss Shen talking about with Yun Yi?"

In the main room, he and Gu Yunyi sat opposite each other, with a cup in front of them. He would occasionally pick up a cup and take a sip, then speak passionately to Gu Yunyi, as if... they were drinking.
Without even looking up, Madam He said, "I suppose Madam Shen was feeling frustrated after being pregnant, and she was confiding in Yunyi about what men talk about."

Xu Qingmeng originally wanted to go over and talk to Shen Jinwen about Madam Shen's matter, but seeing the situation, she stopped in her tracks.

At this moment, Gu Yunyi saw that Xu Qingmeng had returned. He turned around and said something to Shen Jinwen, and then the two of them got up and came out.

Shen Jinwen quickly asked Xu Qingmeng about his wife, and only after hearing that she had eaten a lot did his tense nerves relax.

"Madam Gu, today has been a real hassle. I'll head back and check on things first, and I won't bother you any longer."

Xu Qingmeng still reminded him that their Aunt Wang might have something to say to him, but didn't say anything else.

Gu Yunyi escorted the person to the door, then turned around and saw Xu Qingmeng going into the main room, so he followed her there.

Mrs. He, Aunt Tang, and Aunt Li exchanged glances and then smiled.

Xu Qingmeng tidied up the cups on the table, picked one up and smelled it slightly, then said with a smile, "You've been drinking tea and talking for quite a while now?"

Gu Yunyi helped tidy up, then looked at her and said, "Yes, otherwise what do you think we should drink, my wife?"

“Of course it has to be wine.” Xu Qing dreamed of something, then said in a low voice, “I heard from Mother before that you have a huge capacity for alcohol. When you were ten years old, you could drink with Father in the yard, and you could drink a small jar in one go.”

Gu Yunyi's face flushed instantly. He coughed twice to cover up his unease: "Ahem, those are all things from my youth. When did Mother tell you about them? How come I didn't know?"

Sigh, Mom really does keep telling Mengniang about her embarrassing past all the time. It happened many years ago. She got drunk and was bedridden at home for two whole days. She was even tricked by her own father. I really don't want to talk about it.

"It's precisely because these are things from my youth that they're so interesting to talk about!"

Gu Yunyi paused for a moment, then said, "Oh? Is that so? Then I wonder if my wife has any interesting stories from her childhood? Why don't you tell me about them, so that I can be happy too?"

Xu Qingmeng shook her head: "I've been sensible since I was a child, what interesting things could I possibly have?"

"That's a real shame." He shook his head, feigning regret.

"Alright, alright, don't be so wasteful. If you don't want to read, go peel some peanuts. I've thought of a new snack that I'm planning to make for everyone to try tonight."

"Yes, I am happy to serve you, my wife."

Then she pointed to the half-sack of peanuts behind the door: "Look, it's here."

Gu Yunyi exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"

"Yes, we need to finish peeling them today. Thank you for your hard work, husband. I'm going to rest now." "......"

Shen Jinwen handled it quickly, and Xu Qingmeng soon heard the news.

However, it was He who secretly told her that the maid in Shen Jinwen's house had been driven away, and a cook had been specially hired to help at home.

Although the Shen family didn't say anything, the neighbors weren't blind. After all, the change from a young maid to a woman in her forties made it easy for anyone to guess what was going on.

However, because Shen Jinwen was good at interpersonal relationships and his Shen family business was large and had connections that others didn't, everyone respected him and didn't ask too many questions.

However, there were also some minor rumors that Madam Shen was a jealous woman with remarkable cunning, which quieted down the young girls and widows in the alley who had some ulterior motives.

Behind her back, Madam He praised Shen Jinwen to Xu Qingmeng, saying that he was a good man who valued loyalty and responsibility, and also told Xu Qingmeng to keep an eye on Gu Yunyi.

"Sometimes, regardless of whether a man has any ulterior motives, if the woman outside has some means and is open-minded, she has plenty of ways to force the man to submit. So, a man's willpower is unreliable. You need to be more careful. After Yunyi passes the imperial examination, don't let anyone get close to him."

Xu Qingmeng was both amused and exasperated. To a certain extent, Madam He, as the mother, was even more worried about Gu Yunyi's misbehavior than she, as the wife.

She nodded hastily, though she was only being perfunctory, before remembering what Madam Shen had said.

But judging from her personality, she might not be able to keep an eye on her partner all the time, and she also wouldn't let herself get caught up in trivial matters.

Given the current situation, even if she and Gu Yunyi have a child, if he does something to betray her, she will definitely cut ties completely and never look back.

In late July, Madam He began to pack Gu Yunyi's belongings so that he could take them to the prefectural city.

This year's college entrance examination is in mid-August, but Gu Yunyi will go early, so it will be around the end of July.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, and it's not easy to keep dry food or pastries. So we still have to go to the prefectural city to buy food. Even if we buy dry food on the morning of the exam, it won't last more than three days.

After discussing it with Madam He, Xu Qingmeng decided to only bring him some instant noodles and fried dough twists, along with two jars of mushroom and beef sauce.

However, fried dough twists are quite oily and can't be eaten every meal, so he doesn't plan to bring too many. Gu Yunyi will buy enough food for one day on the day of the exam, and eat fried dough twists and instant noodles for the next two days. He can endure it and it will pass quickly.

He also inquired about the people who had taken the imperial examinations in previous years, to see what kind of food they brought or what recipes they had for cooling off in the summer, but all of his attempts ended in disappointment.

The importance of scientific expeditions is such that, for students, ten years of hard study have already passed, and even eating spoiled food for two days wouldn't be a problem.

That night, Xu Qingmeng lay in bed and said, "It's estimated that August will be very hot this year, and it's easy to get heatstroke. It won't be as comfortable as last time. You need to be careful. Now that we have money at home, don't be reluctant to spend it like last time."

Gu Yunyi was only wearing a corner of a single sheet draped diagonally over himself, and even so, he still felt a bit hot.

"If you're worried, why don't you come with me? You've been pregnant for four months now, so there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, there are lots of new and interesting things in this city, so you can explore them more and even help me with the arrangements, saving me the trouble of not being willing to spend money."
