Foster son and husband

Chapter 132
Mei Niang said: "What do you want to do, you need my cooperation to do it, you have to let me know in advance, otherwise... it's inexplicable, it makes people feel so weird!"

Xu Junying laughed: "You treated me like that before, and you didn't tell me in advance, don't you think it's weird?"

Meiniang blushed and said awkwardly: "It was in the past. I couldn't figure out the situation. Seeing that you were so indifferent to your wife and children, I thought you would abandon Qin Meiniang all the time. I was afraid that after you changed your mind and married another, our mother and I would be left alone. Due to the bleak situation, I am not Qin Meiniang, so naturally I am not convinced to live in such a poor life, if I don't find a way out, will I just be locked up in this marquis mansion and be manipulated and bullied for the rest of my life?"

Xu Junying sighed inwardly: Her scruples are right. If the real Qin Meiniang is resurrected, even if he can keep her mother and child well-fed, it may not be possible for them to have a safe and comfortable environment. These people in the mansion have high eyebrows and low eyes Come again, if Zheng Meiyu can do such a thing, other people may also do it!After remarrying, it is impossible for him to take care of the mother and son, maybe they will die in a few years!
Seeing that he was speechless for a while, Meiniang didn't want to say anything more. The two walked back to Wenjinxuan together. I want to visit Ru Lan, talk to her, and return some books and piano scores that I borrowed from her. Tomorrow is the first day of March, and the exam is coming soon. I'm going to Cyclamen to tell Lu The shopkeeper has some matters, and then rushed to Qin's house to visit mother and elder brother and sister-in-law."

Xu Junying smiled and said: "I'm not tired, I just read the official documents in the study. Let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow. If you go to visit Ru Lan now, shouldn't you bring some gifts? She is different from the past now, she is weak, and she lives in the small warehouse in the east courtyard. There are many precious nourishing herbs in it, such as ginseng, cordyceps, etc., you can give her some."

Mei Niang shook her head: "I heard that pregnant women can't take tonics casually. Unless they really need it, no matter how expensive and nourishing medicinal materials are, they dare not give her!"

"I don't understand this." Xu Junying blushed, "Ru Lan is very good. She used to treat Mei Niang sincerely and kindly. After you came, she also helped her wholeheartedly. Now it is finally good news. You should give me a gift to congratulate you." Bar?"

Mei Niang said with a smile: "I have already given it away. The first gift she receives after her wedding should be mine!"

Xu Junying looked at her: "You... alone? What did you give?"

Mei Niang said: "It's a very beautiful set of jewelry. I accidentally discovered that the jewelry in Fengxiang Pavilion in the south of the city is very good. Come back and give it to her. Rulan is naturally knowledgeable. She knows that the set of jewelry will cost at least 7000 taels of silver. She just accepted the silver that the master gave... If you mention this in the future, please trouble the master to follow my words and just say yes!"

Xu Junying showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Okay! I know about it. Then go, let Cuixi follow, don't stay too long, come back early, dinner is at Tsinghua University, we will not go to Jinhua tonight Huatang is here!"

Mei Niang was slightly taken aback, she had already planned to go directly from Rulan to Jinhuatang, which would save more than half of the journey, but who knows that she didn't have to go, it was not a waste of effort.

Xu Junying said: "I will ask Ruizhu to go to Jinhua Hall to say that there are urgent documents that need to be processed, and I may have to stay up late tonight."

"Master Hou is busy with business, so it's okay not to go, I can go alone, and it's like this on weekdays!"

Meiniang considered tomorrow's schedule, and thought that she would go to Jinhuatang today to take a job, and tomorrow she would run around the city for a day, and she would probably be exhausted, so she didn't want to be a free waiter anymore.

"You are alone, I have to pick you up after dinner, it's even more delayed. The weather is bad, so don't go! That's it, I want to read the official documents!"

After Xu Junying finished speaking, before Mei Niang could respond, she turned her head and walked into the room.

Mei Niang stood for a while, but she had no choice but to turn around and walk away, comforting herself: If you don't go, you won't go, you didn't want to go at all, for tomorrow night?I still don't know what will happen tomorrow night, maybe God will be a man, it will rain heavily, and there will be thunder, let alone it!
Thinking of this, he felt relaxed and happy again, went back to his room and went into the inner room, then took Cui Xi Cui Lian with him, happily went to visit Ru Lan.

Ning Rulan started to suffer from morning sickness, throwing up whatever she ate, but she was in a great mood and her spirits did not show sluggishness. She smiled and said to Mei Niang: "No matter how much he tosses, I just love him in my heart!"

Mei Niang nodded and smiled: "Because you are his mother. What mother doesn't love her child? He doesn't understand anything now. When he is born and grows up, you must tell him how hard it was for his mother to give birth to him." !"

Xu Junya came back from the outside and brought some fresh fruits to Rulan. They were as bright and red as agates. They looked so attractive. Jinshu washed them and brought them up. Rulan said to Meiniang: If it's delicious, you can eat it too."

Mei Niang reached out and took one, put it in her mouth and took a bite, her eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled, and she hurriedly spat it out: "What kind of rotten fruit is this? It's so sour!"

Rulan laughed loudly: "This is Shanlihong, I love it the most now!"

Mei Niang smiled and patted her lightly: "Can I compare with you? What you like, I can't like!"

Shanlihong is hawthorn, known for appetizing and digesting. In her previous life, Cen Meimei grew up in the south and had never seen a real hawthorn fruit. There are all kinds of hawthorn candies in the supermarket, but she just doesn’t like it. She likes star fruit, red bayberry, and plums. , I don't like to eat hawthorn, and I feel strange.

Xu Junya went into the room and changed into her official uniform and came out. Seeing them arguing, she couldn't help laughing: "Ru Lan didn't want to eat for a few days, and she didn't even want to see meat. Every meal had to be coaxed and persuaded before she ate a few bites." , there must be a plate of hot and sour cabbage pickled in the kitchen. She can't eat spicy food, but she barely wants to eat it, making her head sweat. This mountain red is also a rare thing now. It was left from the branch last year. A few days ago, I I went out of the city and walked through many villages, and after asking and asking, I found a few and came back. I saw them on the street by chance today, so I bought them all."

Mei Niang said: "The third master has a heart, Rulan is really blessed! This is the best appetizing fruit, left on the branch, it will not go bad through the winter, and now the spring rains, I am afraid that there will be less. Those pickled hot and sour cabbage, Just eat a bite or two, and don't be greedy, after all, pickled food is not as good as fresh vegetables and vegetables. You still have to force yourself to eat some meat dishes, or the nutrients in your stomach will not be enough!"

Ru Lan frowned and said, "But I vomited after eating, what should I do?"

"Take your time, eat a small amount at a time, don't be afraid of vomiting, after vomiting, eat again after resting. After a while, it will be fine!"

"How long will it take? My sister-in-law didn't feel so uncomfortable before."

Mei Niang was stunned for a moment: "How long will it take? I don't know... Everyone is different, maybe you won't vomit after a few days. By the way, is the pheasant soup delicious?"

Ru Lan said with a smile: "That's delicious, I drank pheasant soup that night, but I didn't vomit!"

"Really?" Mei Niang also smiled: "You two are very picky, so you don't spit out good things. So, let me ask Mama Cai how to make pheasant soup that day, and ask her to use home-raised chicken every now and then. Make it for you to drink, and when there are pheasants in the village again, use that to make it!"

Mei Niang was talking with Ru Lan and his wife, and the sky was getting dark before they knew it. Xu Junya asked the servant girl to go to the Jinhua Hall to have a look. Knowing that some brothers were going to accompany the old lady for dinner, she decided not to go tonight. Ordered to pass on the meal, and invited Meiniang to eat together, Meiniang and Rulan chatted speculatively, and left reluctantly, forgetting Xu Junying long ago, so she honestly picked up the bowls and chopsticks and ate, and after eating, she saw Cuixi She came in and said that the uncle had sent Cuisi to pick up the eldest grandma, and Mei Niang remembered that Xu Junying had said that she would go back to Tsinghua University for dinner at night.

I can't control that much, I'm full after eating, and I can't spit it out like Rulan.Mei Niang bid farewell to the third master and his wife, and walked back with the girls, making up excuses all the way, saying that Ru Lan was too happy and didn't want to eat, so she coaxed her to eat, but accidentally got full first!
Yes, that's all, he's satisfied.

Xu Junying didn't express satisfaction, and didn't say much, just let Cuixi and the others go down first, then pointed to the opposite table, and said to her: "Have a bowl of soup, eat some side dishes, and accompany me, eating alone is boring !"

Meiniang was speechless, dinner was set in the upper room, and it was raining outside again, if she didn't sit down with him, where else could she go?
I can't drink the soup anymore, and I drank enough at Rulan's place, so I can only pick and choose, eat some vegetarian dishes, and finally wait until Xu Junying eats and puts down the bowls and chopsticks, then I can be regarded as liberated.

Thinking that Xu Junying had the habit of drinking tea after meals, Meiniang asked Cuixi to make tea and told him to go back to the east courtyard after drinking, but Xu Junying said: "I just had a full meal. Drink, let Baoju come in!"

Cuixi went out to call Baoju, Baoju was holding a red sandalwood box in his hand, and said to Xu Junying, "Master, it's all here!"

Xu Junying pointed to the soft couch: "Let's put it there! It's raining outside, it's a little cold, you let them sit in the porter next to the courtyard gate, and the lady on duty at night will send them back to sleep. There are still these people in the corridor of the upper room. You, don't disturb them, stand far away."

Bao Ju leaned over and saluted, "I understand, little one!"

Turning around and walking out, Xu Junying looked at Mei Niang who was puzzled, and said, "The study in the east courtyard has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has been raining continuously, and the roof is leaking...I will review official documents here tonight."

Meiniang was stunned, and looked at Xu Junying suspiciously: "It's raining in the east courtyard study?how come?That night I talked with Xu Junying all night, it was not raining, but I didn't see a drop of water leaking down!

Xu Junying sat down on the couch with peace of mind, opened the red sandalwood box, glanced at her and said, "A lot of books are soaked, go and have a look tomorrow, not only the study room, but also the bedroom is leaking. East courtyard, It needs to be refurbished. If the weather is fine, it will take a few days. If it rains like this, it will be a waste of time. It will always be needed for a month!"
