Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 243 Making a Snowman

Even Fang Ziheng and Hui Niang were stunned, not expecting this.

Little Yuanbao's eyes sparkled, and he gave Xu Qingmeng an even more healing smile.

Hui Niang teased from the side, "This rascal is so close to you. Even though Zhizhi is so little now, he can still remember her. He was still reluctant to leave Zhizhi when we went back last time!"

As everyone was talking, Xu Qingmeng went back inside to check on the two little ones. After feeding them, she came out. When she came out, Yun Sheng, Yun Mo, and Xiao Yuanbao had already gone out to build a snowman.

Wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, Yun Sheng ran around in the snow like a little fireball.

She tried her best to roll the snow into a big snowball. Her little hands were red from the cold, but she didn't feel cold at all. She kept muttering, "Second brother, this snowball is for the body of the snowman. It has to be big."

Yunmo stood to the side, using a shovel to gather the surrounding snow into a pile, then compacting it with his hands. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked very focused.

Little Yuanbao was quite small and wearing many layers of clothing. He clearly wanted to help, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything.

It was already noon, so Fang Ziheng and the others decided to stay for lunch. Xu Qing dreamed that this day would be perfect for hot pot.

As she spoke, Xu Qingmeng instructed the servants to prepare the ingredients: "In this weather, hot pot is the warmest thing to eat."

It was Fang Ziheng and Hui Niang's first time eating there, but they knew that Gu's hot pot was very popular, so they were quite excited.

The food was prepared quickly, and the steaming hot pot emitted an enticing aroma, with the table laden with various fresh ingredients.

Although they had never eaten it before, it didn't affect their appetite. Watching Gu Yunyi and the others prepare the dipping sauces one by one, they realized they didn't need to be taught; they learned it at a glance.

Little Yuanbao's cheeks were bulging from eating, making him look like a little squirrel.

Not long after finishing their meal, Xiao Yuanbao got sleepy, so Hui Niang took him home.

Xu Qingmeng and Madam He were talking when they heard that someone was coming.

"master!"

As soon as Xu Qingmeng reached the door, she heard Liu Zhigang shouting loudly.

Liu Zhigang himself is not very old, but he seems to have grown quite a bit taller in the past few months. He was wearing a thick blue cotton-padded jacket.

"I was just saying yesterday that you'd be here in the next few days. Come inside and rest for a while. Aren't you cold? It's been snowing all night. There probably aren't any cars on the main road. How did you get here?"

"No, Master, I went out yesterday, but it snowed in the afternoon, so the carriage was moving slowly. When I got to the city gate, it was already closed, so I found a place to stay nearby. This morning, some of the snow on the road was shoveled, so I was able to enter the city," Liu Zhigang said.

That's really true. It's my first time in the prefectural city and I've encountered heavy snow. I feel quite sorry for them.

Upon hearing this, Madam He quickly ushered people inside, saying, "It's so cold outside, children, hurry up and come inside to warm up."

Liu Zhigang was indeed quite cold. He wasn't dressed lightly when he went out yesterday; he was dressed quite warmly. However, it snowed yesterday, and the temperature difference at night was significant, so his clothes were no longer warm enough.

Seeing that the child was shivering from the cold, Xu Qingmeng quickly asked Gu Yunyi to find a thick coat for him to put on.

The room was warm, and Liu Zhi felt warmer now; he had felt much warmer earlier.

"Have you had lunch yet? I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat." Liu Zhigang scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "No, I only ate a piece of dry food yesterday, and I helped shovel snow this morning, so I didn't eat anything. I'm not picky, as long as I can have something hot with soup, that's fine."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingmeng didn't know what to say to him. She could only glare at him and say with exasperation, "You really are... You're not short of money, you could just grab a hot meal at a shop, how could it get this cold?"

Although I felt a sense of disappointment and frustration, I quickly gave the order to the kitchen to cook a bowl of hot soup noodles and send it over. It would be fast and the noodles would be warm.

While Xu Qingmeng was giving her instructions, Gu Yunyi had someone bring him a cup of hot tea.

"I didn't ask you earlier, but you said 'us.' Who did you come with?" Xu Qingmeng asked.

Liu Zhigang took a sip of hot tea and hurriedly said, "Master, I came with Young Master Huang. Young Master Huang is coming to give a gift to the Master. Madam Huang knew I was coming, so she asked me to come along. Oh, and Young Master Huang just asked me to tell Young Master Gu that he wants to come to your courtyard for drinks tonight."

In the eyes of the Gu family, Huang Boyang was a glutton. Whenever he said he wanted to come over for drinks, he was always busy eating.

Liu Zhigang also knew about his master's skills; Xinting's skills were also excellent. Back then, he himself...

But it's no use thinking about it now, since Xinting is already engaged to Mr. Zhou.

“Young Master Gu, this is what Young Master Huang asked me to teach you.”

After Liu Zhigang finished speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yunyi.

Gu Yunyi raised an eyebrow, took it, and glanced at it.

The envelope was addressed to Gu Yunyi and signed Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen was Gu Yunyi's teacher. He had taken good care of him in Quan County and patiently taught him a lot. They were truly as close as father and son.

Although Xu Qingmeng had never met this Mr. Shen, she had been away from Quan County since leaving home. Although she didn't know much about Mr. Shen, she knew his daughter, Shen Yunyi, very well.

She was, after all, the female lead in the original book, Gu Yunyi's intended wife.

Even now, after giving birth, Xu Qingmeng is still a little uneasy, though she doesn't show it.

However, Mr. Shen had previously written to Gu Yunyi saying that he would be back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's already December and he still hasn't seen her. I wonder if her appearance has caused the plot to take a different turn.

However, when Gu Yunyi and his group moved away from Quan County, Gu Yunyi left a letter for Mr. Shen. Presumably, the letter arrived at this time because Mr. Shen had already returned.

Gu Yunyi was extremely excited and quickly opened the letter to read it.

The sentence was brief and short, but judging from Gu Yunyi's expression, he was very excited.

"Mr. Shen has returned to Quan County? By himself?"

Gu Yunyi nodded: "Yes, I'm back. I just got back. When they learned that we had come to Quan County, they sent a letter to inquire about the situation."

Then Gu Yunyi's smile faded a bit, and he turned his head and said, "Mother, Mengniang, I want to go back to Quan County."

“We’ve moved to Quan County, and it seems Mr. Shen went back there all by himself. It’s the Lunar New Year, and he must be feeling a bit lonely. I’m thinking of bringing Mr. Shen here to celebrate the New Year with us, so he can see Zhizhi and Ruirui. What do you think?”
