Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 178

"Wen Qing, crystal agate green calyx, come out to eat poached eggs in sugar water." Aunt Zhao called out from the Westinghouse.

Xiao Wenqing immediately said: "Sister-in-law, I'll lie down and rest, let's go out." The mother suffered a lot from giving birth to a child, and she must confine her body to restore her body.

"Well, come and visit us when you have time." Mrs. Zhao urged.The threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion was too high, her mother-in-law went there once, and the concierge refused to let her in even after declaring her identity, so she never went there.The mother-in-law also told her not to say anything about it, so as not to embarrass Wenqing.

Xiao Wenqing nodded, turned around and led the maids out of the Westinghouse.

In the main room, Aunt Zhao had already brought four bowls of poached eggs in sugar water, and when she saw them coming out, she smiled and said, "Come on, you all sit down and eat, we don't have too many rules here."

Xiao Wenqing also said: "Crystal agate green calyx, you sit down too." Although the concept of hierarchy in the world is very serious, but she has been a maid, and she will only put on the airs of her master on the surface, but she still treats them as younger sisters in her heart.In the future, she will turn their death deeds into living deeds and let them marry in a dignified way.

The crystal agate and the green calyx looked at each other, and then sat down one by one towards Xiao Wenqing.There are large white porcelain bowls of brown sugar water, and three whole snow-white poached eggs are placed in each bowl.This is a custom of the generation in the capital, and people who visit confinement will eat it.

"Godmother, do Yuxuan and the others have it?" Xiao Wenqing asked, taking a sip of sugar water with a spoon.

"They've already eaten outside." Aunt Zhao said, sitting next to Xiao Wenqing. "Xu's daughter-in-law is free today, so come over and help me take care of your sister-in-law for confinement. On weekdays, the aunt next door also comes to help." So she was able to take care of her daughter-in-law for confinement and take good care of her little granddaughter.

"Sister-in-law Xu has always been a warm-hearted person." Xiao Wenqing praised.She likes this kind of neighborhood relationship where everyone helps each other.

"Wen Qing, you have been married into the prime minister's mansion for almost a month, are you getting used to it?" Aunt Zhao asked.The threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion is too high, and she is always worried that Wen Qing will be bullied.

"Wen Qing, how is your mother-in-law treating you?" Aunt Xu asked.She came in after drying the clean diapers, pulled a stool and sat beside Xiao Wenqing's mother and son.

"My mother-in-law treats me pretty well." Xiao Wenqing bit a poached egg and said, "Living in the prime minister's mansion is luxurious, and my mother-in-law has been supplying tonics for many years. After I got married, she told the kitchen to get me a portion too."

Mrs. Xu looked at Xiao Wenqing carefully, and said: "Well, your complexion is better than before, and your skin is so white and tender that it almost oozes water. I heard that noble ladies like to eat tremella and bird's nest, can you eat it?"

"I eat white fungus soup in the morning and evening, sometimes it's white fungus lily, sometimes it's white fungus red dates, sometimes it's white fungus bird's nest." Xiao Wenqing said, "Yu Xuan said that white fungus is a good thing and advised me to eat more."

"Tremella is a nourishing yin tonic. When your sister-in-law was pregnant, I boiled some for her, and I have made it a few times these days." Aunt Zhao smiled and nodded, "I am still worried that your mother-in-law will dislike you for your low birth, and will eat it secretly. I neglected you." Tremella is a very expensive tonic, and a box costs more than ten taels of silver. Although she really wants to take good care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, she doesn't have the financial resources to let her eat tremella throughout her pregnancy and confinement period.

"My mother-in-law gave the kitchen some 300-year-old mountain ginseng, and asked the kitchen to cut a small piece of soup every night for me to drink." Xiao Wenqing continued.Ginseng is too tonic, she always feels that her mother-in-law's kindness is too much.

"Ginseng, this is an expensive medicinal material." Aunt Zhao said in surprise, "Wenqing, is there something wrong with your body?" Could it be that Yuxuan, a strong man who practices martial arts, is like a wolf like a tiger, and Wenqing is overwhelmed by his demands. False?
"Wenqing, you can't eat ginseng indiscriminately." Mrs. Xu, who has worked as a helper in He's kitchen for many years, explained, "Ginseng is a medicinal material, and it is mostly used for first aid. The old lady drank some ginseng soup every once in a while, and Aunt Ziyan and Mrs. He used ginseng soup when they gave birth, and at other times, only the doctor occasionally added a little ginseng when prescribing the medicine."

"Well, I see, I won't eat ginseng indiscriminately in the future." Xiao Wenqing lowered his head and said, full of doubts in his heart.

Aunt Zhao and Aunt Xu looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.Aunt Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said: "Wen Qing, your mother-in-law is the prime minister's wife. She has been taking tonics for many years, so she must know better than ordinary people how to maintain health. She will give you random supplements?"

"Wenqing, what kind of supplements do you still take on a daily basis?" Mrs. Xu asked, "Although I haven't been exposed to many supplements, there is a chef in the He family kitchen who specializes in making various tonic soups for the masters and wives of the He family."

Xiao Wenqing said: "In addition to all kinds of white fungus soup, the ginseng soup that my mother-in-law sent someone to make, and the food supplements that my mother-in-law sent me."

Tremella is a nourishing yin tonic for wealthy women for many years. Even pregnant women can eat it, so there is no problem.Ginseng...

Aunt Zhao warned: "Although the godmother doesn't understand, she also knows that ginseng is a medicinal material. If you are healthy, don't eat it."

"I see, godmother." Xiao Wenqing nodded and said.

Sister-in-law Xu thought for a while, but still felt suspicious of the Prime Minister's wife giving her daughter-in-law a lot of money, so she asked, "Wen Qing, what do you usually eat for three meals a day? Does the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion suit your taste?"
