Chapter 26
The summer night was quiet, and the sound of insects chirping echoed loudly. Rong Jiu turned over and was woken up by the heat.

Under the dim light, Shen Cheng was reading a book, occasionally writing down a few words with a pen, bringing out a faint scent of ink.

The young man has picturesque features, although he is dressed in coarse linen clothes, but his whole body has a bookish air, calm and elegant, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

There was a slight smile on the corner of Rong Jiu's lips. No wonder people say that serious men are the prettiest, and it is true.

Rong Jiu said, "Why aren't you asleep?"

Shen Cheng turned around when he heard the sound: "Did it wake you up?"

Rong Jiu shook his head: "It's too hot, so I woke up."

Shen Cheng put down the scroll in his hand, got up and walked towards her, fanning her with a cattail fan: "Go to sleep."

"You do not sleep?"

"I'll sleep when you fall asleep."

A cool wind blew, Rong Jiu rested her head on his lap, and closed her eyes comfortably: "Sanggong, you are so kind."

Shen Cheng lowered his head and smiled slightly, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Rong Jiu rubbed against his leg, let out a lazy "um", and fell asleep in a daze after a while.

Shen Cheng looked at her quietly for a long while, she was as beautiful as jade, lazily nestled in his arms, and when she was sleeping, her calm and smiling expression made his heart feel soft.

Shen Cheng raised his hand to caress her cheek, and gently stroked her temples. Rong Jiu was half awake, and murmured vaguely a few times. Shen Cheng froze for a moment, but found that the delicate and jade-like face under his palm was gently touching her face. Rubbing his palm.

Shen Cheng raised his lips slightly, revealing a doting smile.

It was a good night's dream. Rong Jiu woke up when the sky was slightly bright. Yesterday, he picked a lot of Hericium erinaceus, Astragalus membranaceus and Codonopsis pilosula. These are good things to make medicinal food.

Rong Jiu swiftly killed an old hen, and when she saw Qin Shi also entered the kitchen, she said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I want to cook medicinal food for dad, but my cooking skills are not good enough."

Qin smiled and took the old hen from her hand: "I'll do it."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Qin put the old hen into boiling water, blanched to remove the blood, then put it into a stew pot, and then added Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, red dates, and sliced ​​ginger.

A pot of chicken soup had been simmering for two or three hours, and it was full of aroma. It happened that the people from the Shen family came back for lunch in the afternoon.

Rong Jiu filled a bowl for Shen Dafu: "Father, this is a medicinal food for invigorating qi and blood, drink it while it's hot."

Shen Dafu took a sip, the chicken soup looked thick, but it tasted very fragrant. When he was Yushi Zhongcheng, he also ate medicinal food, but he had never eaten such delicious medicinal food.

"Jiu Niang, this is really medicinal food, it's really delicious."

"That's because my sister-in-law is good at cooking." Rong Jiu smiled, and also served Li Shi a bowl, "Mother, you can drink it too, to replenish your body."

Shen An stared straight at the chicken soup in Li Shi's bowl with both eyes, drooling with greed: "Third Aunt, I want to drink chicken soup too."

Although Rong Jiu didn't want to see Mrs. Wang, but there was no need to bother with a child, so he filled a bowl for him, and then filled a bowl for Shen Rui and Xiao Qingluo.

The Shen family never smelled meat a few times throughout the year, not to mention Shen An's greediness, even Wang Shi and Shen Yueying swallowed.

Wang shyly said: "It's still Jiuniang who is caring, knowing that we are exhausted in the fields all day, and stewed chicken soup for us to replenish our body."

Rong Jiu chuckled: "Second sister-in-law, you are so strong, you don't need anything, you are immoral, and drinking chicken soup won't help."

When Wang heard this, her face was very ugly: "Jiu Niang, what do you mean?"

"Second sister-in-law, don't you understand? It seems that I need to make up my mind." Rong Jiu said solemnly, turning to look at Shen Wenyuan, "Second brother, don't let second sister-in-law work in the field today, she is so stupid. People, it's better not to let it out to shame people."

Wang was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached.

Shen Wenyuan glared at her, and angrily said: "You shameless thing, the thing that your parents make up for, you dare to think about it, you owe it to me, don't you?"

Mrs. Wang was scolded bloody, but Shen An wolfed it down, holding an empty bowl and said, "Third Aunt, I want more."
