Foster son and husband

Chapter 70
When a group of people were standing in the corridor, saying goodbye to each other and leaving, Mei Niang counted the white snowflakes that bloomed from time to time in the dark night, and heard Xu Junlang and Xu Junying's answer in her ears:

"Brother, you can see King Qi in the past few days? Several of our colleagues want to visit the palace, but every time they say that King Qi is not at the palace, what's the matter?"

"King Qi is indeed not in the palace. He first healed his wounds in the palace, but then he refused to stay in the palace and went to another quiet place. He is almost better now, and it is estimated that he will be able to return to the palace before the Chinese New Year."

"So that's how it is! When he comes back someday, Brother Xiangfan will let you know that we should also visit him!"

"I don't think there is any need to go. Qi Wangyuan is different. After returning from injury this time, his temperament has changed a lot. He may not receive visitors."

"It's okay, brother, just give me some news!"

"Okay, let's talk about it when he comes back!"

"Thank you bro!"

"Let's go back!"

The two brothers bid farewell, and Meiniang and Bai Jingyu also blessed each other politely. Bai Jingyu looked at Meiniang no longer with contempt and disdain, but hidden resentment. Meiniang was expressionless and her eyes were indifferent. Tired, too lazy to play with her at this time.

It was Xu Junxuan who accompanied the younger sisters all the way back, said goodbye to Meiniang, and a large group of women and servants surrounded them and left.

Cuixi served Meiniang to put on a cloak, and Meiniang let her do it, thinking to herself: That arrogant and violent King Qi, who likes men and hates women, is going back to the city?This time I have to be careful when I go out of the house, don't wear men's clothes, let's change to women's clothes.

Cui Lian couldn't reach Xu Junying's shoulders, Zhuang Yulan came up to help, and tied the ribbon for Xu Junying, this time she tied it very well and smoothly, tied a beautiful bow, and stretched out her hand to stroke it gently, Said softly:
"There's rain in the snow, and the road is slippery. Cousin Ying, be careful!"

Xu Junying smiled and nodded: "Okay, I see. Go in, it's cold outside."

Meiniang stood behind him and watched, Xu Junying almost bumped into her when she turned around, Meiniang said softly:

"Master Hou, slow down, you knocked me down, and you have to carry me back!"

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said goodbye to Xu Junya and Ning Rulan: "It's snowing and the road is slippery, walk slowly!"

Ning Rulan also said something like walking carefully, Meiniang waved her hand at them, Xu Junya took Rulan's hand, and took the girls away.

Xu Junying and Meiniang were left. Seeing Zhuang Yulan standing still, Meiniang took a step closer, put her hand into Xu Junying's arm and said:
"Let's go, my lord!"

Xu Junying twitched her arm, holding on to her winking eyes, so Xu Junying had no choice but to turn around and say to Zhuang Yulan:
"Cousin Lan, go in, don't freeze!"

Mei Niang saw that Zhuang Yulan's eyes turned into resentment, fearing that Xu Junying would not be able to bear it, she hurriedly dragged him away: "The rain and snow are getting heavier and heavier, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave, Lord Hou, let's go back!"

Stepping down a step, Zhuang dragged him down, Xu Junying had to follow, and wanted to turn around, Meiniang stretched out her hand and pulled his cloak and hood to block his sight, Xu Junying said:
"let it go!"

Meiniang didn't let go: "The road is slippery, I will fall!"

"Go well, just hold on, how can I walk so close?"

Mei Niang turned her head to see that Zhuang Yulan was being helped in by Rui Xue, and let him go: "Okay, we can go our separate ways, and we can go faster!"

Out of the courtyard gate, walk along the green brick corridor for a while, and then turn onto a road made of ice-patterned stone bricks. It snows for some time, and there is a thin layer of snow on the ground, so it is difficult to see the road clearly. Finally, the light was weak and could not be compared with modern flashlights. Meiniang tried her best to keep up with Xu Junying's footsteps, trying to make him familiar with the road conditions, and subconsciously approached him, but Xu Junying deliberately walked aside as if she was afraid that she would stick to her. Refusing to be her guide, Mei Niang had no choice but to greet Cuixi:
"Bring some lanterns here. Lord Hou is a martial arts practitioner. He has great eyesight. He doesn't need to follow the road. You just need to walk in front of me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Junying stumbled and slipped, almost fell, and thumped a few times before she could stand still, Mei Niang burst out laughing:
"I just praised you for your good eyesight, but you stumbled in front of us—you should give me some face!"

Xu Junying snatched the lantern from Cuixi's hand, walked back to look at the place, but it turned out to be a half-cut flower tree that was broken in the snow last time, he said half annoyed:

"Which woman is in charge of the flowers and plants along this road? Such stumps should have been dug up long ago, that is, me. If you were you, you would have fallen into the mud!"

Mei Niang had already stopped laughing, and wanted to deal with this matter seriously, but when she heard him say that dogs eat mud, she laughed again, Xu Junying was really annoyed:

"Is this how you're the housekeeper? If you're not competent, replace it with someone else!"

Mei Niang quickly stopped laughing, cleared her throat, and said: "What Master Hou taught me is that I will look for this woman tomorrow..."

"Wait until tomorrow? What if someone passes by here tonight?"

"Okay! Then now, Cui Lian, you run back first. The nearest man who can work is in our Tsinghua Institute. Call me Baoju Baizhan, find a shovel, and dig up this stump !"

Cui Lian responded, and ran away with the lantern.

Holding the lantern in his hand, Xu Junying stared at Meiniang, and Meiniang also looked at him, thinking of his embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help laughing, and quickly turned her face away.

Back at Tsinghua University, the rain and snow were so dense that you could feel the particles when you knocked on the cloak. Meiniang and Xu Junying entered the courtyard gate without saying hello. Xu Junying went to the moon gate by herself, and Meiniang followed the lantern Going up to the room, as soon as she walked into the warm room, she breathed a sigh of relief, stamped her feet and shouted: "Change your shoes quickly, who gave me the embroidered cloth shoes? It's raining and snowing, and you need to wear leather boots when you go out. ?"

Cui Lian said aggrievedly: "Going back to grandma, it didn't rain or snow when we went out, who would have thought it would fall when it was dark!"

Mei Niang took off her wet shoes and sat on the soft couch, she thought for a while and said, "Yes, I blamed you wrongly. I also blame Lord Hou. If he insisted on digging some tree stumps, he wouldn't trip over them if he didn't walk around. All of a sudden, I stood there waiting for so long, and my shoes were wet!"

Cui Lian suppressed a smile, and said carefully: "Master Hou was also walking in the middle of the road, it was Grandma who pushed him to the side of the road..."

Mei Niang squinted at her: "Isn't it? I didn't squeeze him."

Thinking about that scene, I couldn't help looking up and laughing again, Cui Xi and Cui Lian couldn't help it anyway, and laughed together, looking puzzled at Wang Mama and Cui Si beside them.

Mei Niang felt that after taking over the butler, the worst thing was not to sleep in late, the first hobby in life was sacrificed, it was so painful.

Woke up early in the morning, rolled on the bed a few times, and was still buried in the quilt. Mother Wang said through the curtain:
"Grandma also reminded me to wake up early last night to hurry to see Brother Heng."

Mei Niang's eyes widened all of a sudden: No way!Henger!I haven't seen my lovely son for a few days!
He got up and ran towards the inner room while shouting: "Hurry up! Find out the clothes you are wearing today, remember to find me a pair of leather boots, and get ready to comb my hair!"

After dealing with the housework, I hurriedly brushed my teeth and mouth with green salt, washed my face with warm water, ran cold water again, wiped off the water beads on the handkerchief, opened the door and rushed out. Mother Wang was waiting outside the inner room door, running all the way and couldn't keep up. Keep counting:
"How many times have I said this, but grandma just doesn't change. Which young lady is like this? Walking is not easy with the wind—how well you used to walk!"

Mei Niang was already sitting in front of the dressing table, asking Cui Xi and Cui Lian to comb her hair, when she saw Mama Wang appearing in the mirror, she said with a smile:

"Mom, wouldn't it be messed up if every family's young lady was the same? I used to walk well, and now I can't make mistakes. I walk slowly outside and only run in my own room. It's okay, right?"

Mother Wang looked at her helplessly, put her hands on her stomach, and sighed, "I just don't worry, you are so different from before!"

Mei Niang smiled and stretched out her hand to pat the hand on her stomach, and said, "It doesn't matter about the past, let's just look at the future, okay?"

Ms. Wang showed a smile, nodded her head and said: "Okay, okay! Don't care about the past, just look at the future, grandma will be good in the future!"

"That's natural!" Mei Niang was full of confidence.

The rain had stopped, and the snowflakes were still falling as usual. Xu Junying stood on the porch with her hands behind her back, staring at the snow-soaked ground in a daze.

Baoju went to see the martial arts training ground, it was covered with snow and water, and he couldn't practice. Today the emperor allowed him to rest at home, and tomorrow is the new year. After offering sacrifices to the stove, he doesn't have to go to court. How will he pass the time?

Ruizhu went to deliver breakfast, and came back to say that the gate of Tsinghua University had opened early, and the grandma took Cuixi and Cuisi to the garden.

Xu Junying asked strangely: "So early, where is she going?"

Ruizhu thought for a while, and said, "Going towards Qiuhua Courtyard, you should go to the eldest wife's place to say hello."

Xu Junying pursed her lips: Mrs. Zheng might not get up early in the morning, but Heng Er did wake up, and she went to see Heng Er.

When Mei Niang was seriously ill, Zheng Meiyu helped take care of Heng'er. Xu Junying got up early every day to practice martial arts, and could hear Heng'er crying. The child was used to getting up early, and he had to get up before dawn. Xu Junjie's father.

Xu Junying and Xu Junjie, martial arts practitioners, were forced by their father to get up early when they were young, and they developed a habit of waking up at a certain time.

Xu Junying's face became cold, and his hands were clenched into fists. If he were to grab anyone at this time, he might give him a punch.

As soon as the gate of the Qiuhua Courtyard was opened, Meiniang was welcomed in. Meiniang walked into the courtyard with a smile, and walked all the way to the room. Under the corridor, Heng'er shouted happily in the nurse's arms, stretched out her hands and patted and hung on the corridor. The cage made of golden silk and bamboo made the poor little bird inside fly around in fright.

Mei Niang shouted: "Heng'er!"

Heng'er was stunned for a moment, then turned his head quickly, saw Mei Niang, first smiled with joy and bared his two small white teeth, then wrinkled his nose, shook his hands, made a humming sound, and gradually turned around. Crying, Mei Niang didn't wait for him to cry, she ran over early, hugged him tightly, and kissed that chubby little face, no matter if it was the nose or the eyes, After kissing and kissing again, Heng'er hugged his mother's neck happily, and kissed Meiniang's face. Lightly, shouting again and again:

"I can't do it, grandma, I will fall!"

Henger was overjoyed, screaming and giggling, the mother and son were laughing and laughing, the joyful atmosphere infected the early risers in the yard, and even the birds in the corridor that Henger was too scared to make a sound just now At this time, he also sang loudly and loudly.
