Chapter 51

Shen Mumu didn't look for something to do in the end, because he came to see the man because he didn't want her to go out to find something to do.Secondly, it was cold, so she didn't bother to move.

She is not resistant to cold, and when the weather is completely cold, she will not go out unless necessary.

Even grocery shopping has changed from once a day to once every two days.Her explanation to Mrs. Hu was that since the weather is cold anyway, it won’t go bad easily if left unattended, so it’s better to buy more at a time and store them to save trouble.

Every day she burns the kang to keep it warm, nests on the kang, and lives a life of rice worms.It is not difficult to read a book or sew alone for a day.

During this period, Lin Wenbo came to look for him several times.He also knows how to avoid suspicion, and Xie Yu comes here every time after he goes out.Shen Mumu seriously doubted whether he came here after staring at the host as he left.

When he came, he knocked on the door outside the yard, knocking loudly, but she didn't answer, and pretended to be dead.Lin Wenbo didn't see anyone, and didn't give up, so he ran to the school to meet Xiaoyuan.

When Xiaoyuan came home from vacation, he would tell her what the two of them said and did together.Shen Mumu knew that Xiaoyuan and Lin Wenbo had a good relationship, and usually listened patiently.I also got a little bit of news about him sporadically.

For example, when the weather was cold, Lin Wenbo gave quilts to the poor.He also caught several county thieves.I heard that people in the county like him very much, and he doesn't need to bring money when he goes out, and some people rush to pay him.

Listening to these, Shen Mumu always has some dramas, shouldn't the imperial envoys always do big things?This person is fine, it feels like he hasn't done anything all day.He came all the way from Kyoto to do these things?
Sometimes, Lin Wenbo would also ask Xiaoyuan to help with a few words, it was nothing more than the cold weather, and asked her to take care of herself.Or he wanted to ask her out for a meeting to clarify things.

Hearing similar words, Shen Mumu would usually be sloppy and let it go.She remembered Xie Yu's words about breaking her legs, and she didn't doubt the authenticity of his words.Only when he was impatient to live would he dare to see Lin Wenbo.

Taking a step back, even without Xie Yu, she didn't want to see Lin Wenbo.Love or something, just imagining it gave her a headache.

The siblings talked about everything, once at the dinner table, Shen Wenyuan mentioned Lin Wenbo again, before Shen Mumu could react, Xie Yu was beside him humming heavily, Shen Mumu hurriedly stopped him with his eyes .

When the siblings were alone, Shen Mumu explained to him in detail that he could associate with Lin Wenbo and go out to eat with him, but he could not bring anyone home, nor could he mention him in front of his brother-in-law.

Xiaoyuan's mind turned quickly, and he nodded in agreement without his sister's elaboration.After that, Shen Mumu never heard of him.

A while ago, Shen Mumu heard some news about him from Mrs. Hu.It is said that Lin Wenbo walked the streets and alleys every day, caught several thieves, and solved several major cases.Now everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knows him, and the big girls and the little daughter-in-law even go to the yamen gate just to see him.

Hu's sister-in-law was so excited, Shen Mumu couldn't help laughing when she thought about it a few times later.

Xie Yu opened the door and went in, and saw the little daughter-in-law lying on the bed reading a book, perhaps seeing something interesting, with a smile on her lips.

"What are you laughing at?" It was much warmer inside the room than outside, so he took off his coat as soon as he entered the room.Hanging it by the door, I went up to ask her after I felt cold.

"It's nothing." Shen Mumu closed the book, sat up and looked at him, his eyes flicked between the man's chest and cuffs.

Xie Yu pretended not to see the woman's bright eyes, "Smile at night, can it penetrate people?"

The way the woman looked up at him made his heart itch.Xie Yu didn't know that modern people collectively refer to this itchy expression as cute.He couldn't help but leaned forward, put one hand beside her leg, and pinched the woman's nose with the free hand, "I can bear such a perverted girl."

"Hmph, let's talk again, let's talk about biting you again." Shen Mumu bared his whitened teeth, threatening in a vicious voice.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about you." Xie Yu looked away, the corners of his eyes seemed to slide over the book that the woman put on the bed, and he sat down on the edge of the bed and began to take off his shoes.

Shen Mumu waited for a while, and saw that the man didn't make any other moves.Leaning up close to him, sniffing his body with sniffing.

"What?" Xie Yu straightened up and asked.

"Sanggong, you didn't bring anything back?" Shen Mumu also sat up straight, looking at the man pitifully.

"Well, you haven't eaten?"

"Huh? Well, I haven't eaten, I'll wait..."

"What are you waiting for?" Before finishing speaking, the man interrupted, "When I went out in the morning, what did you promise me?"

It's over, it's time to settle accounts.I have been arrested several times before, it seems that this time I can't be kind.

Shen Mumu lowered his eyes, scratching back and forth on the bed sheet with his fingers.

Xie Yu looked at the top of her head, this little thing, he promised well when he went out.Now this is just waiting for him to bring something back to eat!

After waiting for a while, she didn't look up.Xie Yu saw her fingers scratching the bed sheet, sighed, took out something from her chest and threw it to her.

Shen Mumu saw that it was an oiled paper bag, before he saw what was inside, he immediately raised his head to look at Xie Yu, "I knew that Xianggong would bring it for me!"

Xie Yu was about to take the opportunity to preach a few words, but the woman had already lowered her head and opened the oiled paper package.His half-open mouth froze, and then closed it as if nothing had happened.

Shen Mumu opened the oiled paper bag carefully, and there were hot roasted sweet potatoes inside!The sweet potatoes are baked just right, and the surface is covered with a layer of sugar juice, exuding a sweet caramel smell, very fragrant.

Shen Mumu tore off the skin, took a deep breath of incense, it was almost sweet to the heart.Tear off half of it and give it to Xie Yu, "No, give you half."

"I don't like it, you eat it." Xie Yu rubbed her head, took out another oil-paper bag, and as expected, the woman's eyes lit up again.

"Also? What is this?"

"Don't you know if you open it?" The man got up and picked up the book she had put on the bedside before, and put it on the table.Uh... If I read it correctly, the book is called Merry Blonde?What the hell name!

"Sanggong, how do you know that I want to eat fried chestnuts?!" Shen Mumu opened the oiled paper bag, and a chestnut with plump grains and shiny color appeared in front of her eyes.

"You have saliva at the corner of your mouth, wipe it off." Xie Yu turned his head to look at the woman's shining eyes, and said this with a wooden face.

Shen Mumu didn't get angry after hearing his words, and swallowed her saliva.Xi Zizi got up and went to the table, and said to Xie Yu, "My husband is so kind."

Knowing that men don't like to eat these, she didn't force herself, she held the sweet potatoes and ate them happily.

"Have you cooked for lunch?" Xie Yu also sat at the table, poured a glass of water, and put it in her hand.

"have eaten."

"What to eat?"

"Rice with bean soup."

"Why don't you eat dinner?" Xie Yu continued to ask.

Why can't I get around it? !

After a while, realizing that this problem cannot be avoided today, Shen Mumu timidly replied: "It's cold, I don't want to go out."

"You're so lazy! Are you staying on the kang all day?" Xie Yu reached out and took the chestnuts in front of her, and peeled them one by one.

"No."

"Huh? Then tell me, what have you been doing?"

"Didn't I make breakfast for you in the morning? I also fed the rabbit, Mao Mao and me."

"Go ahead, what else are you doing?"

"It's gone." Shen Mumu pursed his lips to eat, is this an interrogation of a prisoner? !Can you still let her eat well? !

"Those who don't know think you are hugging on the bed." Xie Yu hurt her.

"I'm not hungry anyway, so I don't need to get out of bed."

"Not hungry? Who is that, whose stomach growled so loudly in the middle of the night that Grandpa couldn't sleep?" The man looked at her jokingly.

When it came to this, Shen Mumu was embarrassed and stopped talking.

As I said earlier, when the weather turned cold, Shen Mumu didn't like to go out.So, every day she gets up with the man, has breakfast with him, and after sending him out, she goes back to the house.Sometimes I sleep in the cage, sometimes I read a book and tease the cat.

If the man doesn't come back to eat at night, she will make a good meal for herself at noon and eat well.She doesn't eat at night, she thinks it saves trouble and loses weight, which is a great idea.

Unexpectedly, her stomach was not up to date, and she was singing empty plans in the middle of the night.After Xie Yu pressed for a while, he knew that she hadn't eaten.The two touched each other in the middle of the night and made noodles to eat.

After that, when the man came home late, he would bring her some snacks, sometimes delicious pastries, sometimes candied fruit.Xu knew that she liked to eat sweets, and men brought more sweets.

Later, I don't know where he heard that eating too much sweets is not good, so he changed the belt every time.Shen Mumu was so happy to eat snacks every day, he was even less lazy to make dinner.Every time she plays tricks to fool Xie Yu, she has already had dinner.As a result, ten flickers failed ten times.

However, there is not much time for him to return late.

"Sir, I've finished eating." Shen Mumu answered irrelevantly, threw away the sweet potato skin, and looked at the peeled chestnut in the man's hand.

"Hurry up and eat, take two steps by yourself after eating, don't cry for a while." Xie Yu handed her the pulp in his hand, and did not forget to urge her.

"Okay." Shen Mumu took it, and put one by one into his mouth.

In the dead of night, with candlelight, one person peels and eats alone, and the room seems to be warmer.

After eating what was in his hand, Shen Mumu raised his eyes to look at the man, he was frowning, competing with a chestnut.The earnest look made her heart flutter, "Sir, you are so kind."

"Well, it's good that you know."
