Foster son and husband

Chapter 79 Drunken Tea
In the afternoon, Meiniang and Ning Rulan parted ways and went to the Qiuhua Courtyard to see Heng'er. When facing Mrs. Zheng, she murmured in her heart: This is also an unvirtuous woman!Knowing that the youngest son and the eldest daughter-in-law communicated with each other, they indulged in concealing it. Now they simply snatched back their grandson and raised him as Xu Junying's eldest son, preventing Xu Junying from having his own biological heir. He wanted Heng'er to be the eldest son and inherit the title.

well!A woman's opinion, how can Xu Junying be so stupid?It's hard to say that you suffered from that dark loss far and wide, and you are still willing to let you settle it under your nose?

Meiniang hugged Heng'er, looked at his facial features that resembled Xu Junying, and couldn't help smiling bitterly: After all, they are close blood relatives, Xu Junying and Xu Junjie should look alike, and if Heng'er is Xu Junying's son, no one would believe it .

She hugged Heng'er tightly and took a peek at Mrs. Zheng who was sitting on it drinking tea. The good son raised by the old woman dared to have an affair with his sister-in-law.If Heng'er is raised in her hands, there is a high probability that it will be spoiled, what should I do?I have to find a way to get my son back, so that she won't be harmed again.

Just as she was thinking to herself, Mrs. Zheng spoke, which startled her: "After fifteen, let them pick Yu'er back, what do you think?"

Mei Niang remarked: Yes, there is also Zheng Meiyu!Xu Junjie and Qin Meiniang committed adultery, and there was a key person among them. Without Zheng Meiyu looking around and looking around, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything.

Zheng Meiyu, Mei Niang suddenly figured out something: why Zheng Meiyu can come and go freely in Tsinghua University and East Hospital, act coquettishly and foolishly in front of Xu Junying, dare to let out the rumor that she has an affair with the Hou Ye, so precious silver fox fur Xu Junying was not willing to give it to Zhuang Yulan, but gave it to her—she had already taken refuge in Xu Junying and sold her cousin Xu Junjie!The sweet thing Xu Junying gave her was to marry her into the family and become her stepmother. Later, Zhuang Yulan, a stronger and harder-to-beat opponent, appeared.

What a rotten cousin, a hateful woman!Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng still protected her and made plans for her.

Mei Niang said: "Mother is in charge. Cousin has been used to living in the waiting mansion since she was a child, and she won't be able to stay longer after going home for a few days!"

Mrs. Zheng put down her teacup and sighed: "That's not right! After giving birth to her, my natal elder brother suffered from many illnesses and went to various places to calculate and calculate. They all said that Yu'er was in conflict with her father's fate. Our Zheng family is a rich family. , and I couldn’t give her to someone else to raise her, so I had to take turns raising her with my sisters. She liked to live with me, and lived in Hou Mansion more often after she was five or six years old. She got along well with Junying and Junjie. The cousins ​​let her do everything. Allow her, pamper her!"

Mei Niang nodded: Let's raise it, let's get used to it, have you raised a white-eyed wolf, haven't you?Isn't Mrs. Zheng very shrewd?Why did she only think about asking Zheng Meiyu to curry favor with Xu Junying, but never thought that if Zheng Meiyu fell in love with Xu Junying, would she say anything?Co-authoring, she thought that she was a clairvoyant, and could see that her niece's heart was toward her family.It's a good thing that Xu Junjie himself died, otherwise he would have to be mad when he saw what the silly mother and the dead cousin did.

Qin Meiniang didn't even let the groom's official touch, but she had an affair with Xu Junjie so quickly, and Zheng Meiyu's help was indisputable.Meiniang made up her mind that when Zheng Meiyu came, she would visit her to fully understand how Qin Meiniang and Xu Junjie hooked up, and how Zheng Meiyu, a matchmaker, did it!

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Meiniang sent Cuixi out of the house to visit Xiankelai. Cuixi came back and reported that there were guests booking banquets in Xiankelai starting from the sixth day of the lunar new year, and they made reservations from floor to floor until the tenth day.

Cui Xi said with some anxiety: "I met Bao Ju in Cyclamen, and I almost let him see it. I asked shopkeeper Lu, and he said that Bao Ju had reserved ten tables of banquets, and the Lord Hou wanted to entertain colleagues and friends... Sir Grandma, do we really want to take money from the waiting master?"

Mei Niang was walking around the pool of Tsinghua University with her hands in her sleeves. Hearing her question, she couldn't help but look up at the sky and said:

"What can we do? Are you going to tell him that this is a store opened by the grandma and that he doesn't accept the waiter's money? You are looking for death! Anyway, it is the shopkeeper Lu who is in charge, and he takes as much as he likes. Let's just pretend that we don't know about it! Yes When is the banquet for Lord Marquis?"

"The twelfth day of the first month."

"Well. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the New Year's wine should be sold out, and then you can go to the cashier - I didn't count, there is still such a sum of New Year's wine!"

After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the sun was bright, the weather became more sunny, and the wind was not so cold. Meiniang took care of the affairs of the residence every day, looked at the public and private account books, insisted on walking more, sent the maids away, and exercised in the room , go to the old lady and wife's room on time to say hello, get close to Heng'er, borrow books from Rulan, try to play Yaoqin, Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu, five-tone mode, it is really difficult to learn, no wonder the younger generation would rather It is much easier to accept 1234567 from the West.

Rulan gave her some Sichuan brocade and some wool from Shu real estate a while ago, saying it was for her to tie the wool. She asked Cui Lian to wind the wool into balls, then drew a picture, and asked Mama Wang to find someone to go out. I got a few silver crochet needles and came back to teach the girls to crochet sweaters. If they didn’t have enough wool, they would buy them again. They hooked each of them addictively. Cui Xi and Cui Lian hooked one for Qin Boqing and Feng Shi, and Cui Si gave it to Qin Boqing. Ma'am, I hooked up a small sweater for Heng'er myself, and it was finished quickly. At that time, I wanted to please Xu Junying, so I also hooked up one for him. Who wants to hook it up and prepare it for someone to give it to him for a try, Ms. Wang After talking about that incident, she lost her mood, so she wrapped it up and threw it into the cabinet.

Cuixi, Cui Lian and Cui Si hooked the first one, and each hooked a close-fitting vest for each other. Cui Lian hooked it to Mama Wang quickly, and Meiniang got one for herself.

There is always something to do, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Bai Jingyu, Ning Rulan, and even the Gan family and the Fang family have all returned to their natal families for the festival. Afterwards, when he was busy going to court, he could take a chance to go out and sneak back to his mother's house once, which is not impossible.

In the evening, Mei Niang sat under the lamp and looked through the account book for a while, and asked Cuixi to put it away, and took another book to read. She was concentrating on reading, when Mama Wang came in from the door, walked to her side and said:
"Grandma, Ruibao from the east courtyard is here. I don't know what it is."

Mei Niang turned the pages of the book and said, "Let her in."

Ruibao walked in quickly, blessed Meiniang, and said with a sad face: "Grandma, please come over there to see Lord Hou, he, he is like last time again!"

Mei Niang was startled: "What's wrong?"

Ruibao said: "I don't even know this servant girl. Today, Master Hou was having a treat outside, and when he came back, he went to the old lady's room to say hello. Bai Zhan said that it was Miss Zhuang who made tea and drank it, and when she came back, she vomited and vomited... "

"Spitting up and pulling again?"

"Back to grandma, this time I didn't have diarrhea, I vomited and fainted, by the way, Lord Hou said dizziness, headache, and vomited yellow bile!"

"You guys, didn't you go to the imperial doctor?"

Ruibao became anxious: "Grandma! Bai Zhan said that Grandma can cure Lord Hou. Last time, Grandma was cured. Let the slaves hurry up and invite Grandma to take a look!"

Mama Wang has already brought Mei Niang's shoes: "Grandma, hurry up, go and see what's going on, and then let them go to the imperial physician!"

While putting on her shoes, Mei Niang said to Ruibao: "Did you report to the old lady? If you have something to do, just come to me, and don't go to the doctor. If something happens, I'm not..."

Mama Wang coughed, "Hurry up, grandma!"

Meiniang stopped talking, and cooperated with Cuixi to put on her outer robe, and hurried to the east courtyard.

In Wenjinxuan, Xu Junying vomited hoarsely. Meiniang stood outside, frowning, and waited for him to finish before going in. She asked Bai Zhan to invite the imperial physician, and Bai Zhan said, "Bao Ju has gone!"

There were two lamps lit in the room, and Mei Niangjiao took one to the bed, saw Xu Junying closed his eyes tightly, blushing, and asked Bai Zhan what was going on, Bai Zhan said:

"Mr. Hou started to treat guests to Xianke at noon. He was just a little drunk when the banquet was over. He was able to walk back to the house with the support. He went to the old lady's room to say hello. Miss Zhuang made tea for Mr. Hou to sober up and drank a few cups. , Lord Hou came out, and still let Bao Ju and I walk back with support. At that time, he said he was uncomfortable, dizzy, had a headache, and wanted to vomit. When he walked to the pool, he really vomited. But there's nothing more to vomit about."

Mei Niang sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Xu Junying, didn't know if he was fainted or awake, after thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and touched his hands, face, and forehead. They were all cold, and her hands trembled slightly. Ask Bai Zhan:
"You see clearly, it's the first time Lord Hou vomits, what's there?"

Bai Zhan thought for a while: "It seems that there is nothing...he keeps spitting water, yellow bile water!"

Mei Niang glanced at him: "Wine first, then yellow bile water——Your marquis probably only drinks alcohol, and doesn't eat any food at all! Rui Zhu Rui Bao, warm boiled water, mix a bowl of sugar water, and feed it to the waiter." Grandpa drink it."

She stood up, pointed to the braziers placed at both ends of the room, and said, "The weather has been sunny and warm these past few days, so we don't need the braziers. Open the windows to keep the air in the room fresh. Let someone cook some white rice porridge, and I'll drink it later." After the sugar water, he didn’t vomit anymore, so let him drink porridge. He drank on an empty stomach, first got drunk, then drank Miss Zhuang’s hangover tea, and then got drunk again, and that’s it, it’s okay, it will get better!”

He was stunned: "Drunk tea?"

Mei Niang smiled, what a coincidence, before transmigrating to this world, a colleague fainted because of drunk tea, she called the old uncle in the hospital, and the old uncle asked a specialist doctor to explain it to her, and she also just understand.

"That's right, drunk tea! It's not advisable to sober up with tea. It's harmful and not beneficial. Next time the Hou drank alcohol, teach him not to drink tea again. You have followed him for many years and know his physical condition. His stomach should not be very good... ..."

Ruizhu came in with a bowl of sugar water, stood hesitantly in front of the bed, and Meiniang said, "Feed him, take a bite and feed him slowly!"

Ruizhu and Ruibao went forward to feed the sugar water, and just after feeding, Xu Junying vomited again, staining Ruizhu Ruibao's clothes and skirts, the two girls grimaced, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

Mei Niang looked at Cui Xi and Cui Lian beside her, "Make another bowl of sugar water, and feed me!"

The second bowl of sugar water was fed smoothly, Xu Junying stopped throwing up, Ruizhu Ruibao heaved a sigh of relief, and retreated to change clothes.

Mei Niang confessed to Bai Zhan: "Just watch, I'll go there first, the imperial doctor will come to see you later, you can get any medicine you want to take!"

Bai Zhan begged: "Grandma, wait for a while, I'm afraid that Lord Hou will suffer from him again!"

He moved a chair and put it behind Mei Niang, and moved the brazier over: "It's a little cold with the window open, grandma sits by the fire."

Mei Niang said: "You don't need to open the window so big, just open a small gap."

Bai Zhan hurriedly closed the window again, leaving only a small gap, and came back to stand beside Meiniang and said, "Just now, the eldest grandma greeted the master's health, and the waiter really has a bad stomach...he was froze and starved at the border. It would be great if grandma knew how to treat it..."

Meiniang's forehead was sweating: "Your sister is an imperial physician?"Sister pretends to be a Mongolian doctor, but if you encounter any serious illness, don't come to him!
Baoju and the imperial doctor couldn't wait for a long time, Mei Niang couldn't sit still, Xu Junying lay silently in the tent, she asked Bai Zhan to take a look, don't be drowned to death with a bowl of sugar water, Bai Zhan went to take a closer look , Tucked up the quilt again, came over and said that Master Hou was asleep, and Meiniang left in peace.

As soon as Mei Niang left, Xu Junying crawled out of bed, leaned against the head of the bed, called Bai Zhan over, and cursed weakly:
"Just go and ask the imperial doctor, and why call her here again? Didn't you think I was not ashamed enough last time? You also told her some nonsense things... If you dare to do this again, don't follow me!"

Bai Zhan lowered his head: "The little one doesn't dare anymore! The little one just thinks that the eldest grandma understands Lord Hou, as long as she touches Lord Hou's hands and face, she will know what to eat for him!"

"shut up!"

"Yes!"

Bai Zhan paused for a while and then said: "Grandma confessed: drinking tea to soothe the hangover is harmful and not beneficial. Master Hou can no longer drink tea after drinking!"

"To shut up!"

"Yes!"

Baoju came back with the imperial doctor, Xu Junying basically calmed down, no longer vomiting, much better, the imperial doctor checked the pulse, only said there was no serious problem, prescribed a prescription, took the consultation money, Baoju sent it back .

Ruizhu and the little girl brought hot water and hot tea, Xu Junying got out of bed to wash, Ruibao brought the freshly cooked rice porridge, Xu Junying ate a bowl, Bai Zhan looked at it, and took the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor Throw the child into the brazier and burn it - Hou Ye's temper, he will not take medicine if he can eat food.

On the afternoon of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Gan came back from her natal home and brought some native rituals for Meiniang. Meiniang was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, crocheting a sweater, when she saw Mrs. Gan come in with a bundle, she hurriedly stood up Then, she laughed and asked Gan what it was, and Gan said it was some delicious rice cakes, dried meat, bean buns, etc., Mei Niang opened it on the stone table, took a look at everything, tasted it, and Gan Shi was discussing which kind is soft, which is crispy, which is the best, eating happily and chatting happily, suddenly seeing Xu Junying coming in from the courtyard gate, Gan Shi and Mei Niang hurriedly saluted Xu Junying, Gan Shi said: "Hello, brother!"

Mei Niang had something in her mouth and half a piece of pancake in her hand, she quietly hid behind her back, unable to make a sound, she had to lower her head.

Xu Junying glanced at her, and Gan said: "These are some snacks I just brought from my mother's house. My sister-in-law likes it, so my brother should try it too!"

Xu Junying smiled and said: "I just came back from the banquet outside, but I can't eat it, so keep it, brother and sister are interested!"

Gan said a few more words to Xu Junying, then left and went back.

While they were talking, Mei Niang put the half pancake in her hand back into the bag, quickly covered it, and chewed the one in her mouth, just in time to say to Gan Shi:
"Thank you, Grandma Fourth, come and sit again!"

Afterwards, she was relatively speechless with Xu Junying. Before seeing him, she could think of flattering her, pretending to be gentle and virtuous as a wife, but now she would rather not see him, and felt as if she owed him something, very uncomfortable.

She pointed to the embroidered bamboo she was sitting on before, and gave way: "The sun is warm, do you want to sit down, Lord Hou?"

Xu Junying said, "Don't sit down."

But she didn't leave, Mei Niang had nothing to say to him, she reached out and picked up the half-hooked sweater on the stone table, hugged it in her arms, and slowly hooked it stitch by stitch, urging Xu Junying to go away quickly in her heart.

Xu Junying looked at Mei Niang doing her needlework and said, "Your brother came here on the eighth day of the lunar new year. I didn't have time to see him. It was Junting and Junxuan who followed up and had a conversation in the front hall. After that, Junxuan pulled him out and said It's for a very important party. He brought some things for the children, and they sent them to his wife... You have just been to your mother's house, so you don't have to go again, go to bed early tonight, tomorrow I will take you into the palace to meet the empress!"

Mei Niang suddenly raised her head: "Ha, see the Empress?!"

Compared to her excitement, Xu Junying's expression was much calmer: "That's right! Tomorrow's Lantern Festival, the empress invites women from outside the palace to enjoy the lanterns. I intended to report sick leave for you, but the empress personally called your name, unless there is a sigh of relief If you are here, you have to go!"

Mei Niang tried her best to control herself, not to let her emotions show. Entering the palace, seeing the queen, seeing the married woman, Xu Junying said before that she did not have the right and opportunity to participate in social activities, and Xu Junying accepted her invitation as soon as she arrived in the outer courtyard. Go, she has nothing to do.It is really unexpected that she can suddenly enter the palace now. She made up her mind and must seize the opportunity. The more people she meets and knows, the more hope she will have in the future. It is not a dream to jump out of the sea of ​​suffering. !
She said cautiously: "I know, I must be ready tomorrow, and enter the palace with the waiting master early!"

"It doesn't have to be very early. Enter the palace at Chenshi. After saluting in the palace, you will enter the palace one by one. It's your turn. It's noon. There will be a banquet in the palace in the afternoon, and you will come back after enjoying the lanterns in the evening."

Xu Junying told her some things that should be paid attention to when entering the palace, and some etiquette rules, Mei Niang listened carefully, and the two stood in the sun, a few steps away from each other, one stood with his hands behind his back, looked at each other, and the other gently With her head down, if it wasn't for Xu Junying's overly serious face, she would have looked like a pair of affectionate men and women who were whispering.

After Xu Junying finished explaining, she turned around and went back to the East Courtyard. Meiniang was so excited that her needlework was also done very quickly. The bright purple sweater that was coming to an end was rushed by her and finished ahead of schedule.

In her previous life, her mother was the best at knitting. Under the influence of her mother, she would skillfully hold a crochet needle at the age of eight or nine, turn on the TV to watch anime, and knit countless pieces for Barbie dolls. Little cute clothes. After the age of 20, she only crochets sweaters for her boyfriend. After the breakup, she stopped doing this and worked hard on her career. There is no time for that.

Shaking off the knitted sweater, the patterns and styles are all from the memory of the previous life. It is exquisite and elegant, and the handwork is first-class. The knitting method taught by my mother is an intangible heritage. money!
Mei Niang smiled at her own thought, stroked the soft sweater, and suddenly had another thought: go to see the queen, don't you want to give gifts?Maybe Xu Junying will take care of it, but if she gives some special gifts, won't she have a deeper impression of herself?Has anyone in this dynasty seen such a beautiful and warm sweater?No wonder it's not rare!Originally weaving it for myself, why not take it with me into the palace, if the queen's stature is the same as my own, I can give it to her as a gift, and I'll just weave another one when I come back!
