pampering wife

Chapter 27

Xu Shi was afraid that something would happen to Qingmei's sprained ankle, so she strictly ordered Qingmei to recuperate quietly, and she was not allowed to run around. Qingmei didn't even leave the house for several days, except for He Shi and the doctor who came to visit, there was not even a shadow of anyone else. I have never seen it.Even on the day of Double Ninth Festival, other people went to enjoy the chrysanthemums happily, but Qingmei was held down on the bed by Mrs. Xu and was not allowed to move. She only drank two glasses of chrysanthemum wine and ate some chrysanthemum cakes.

Qingmei was originally an active person, she became impatient after lying down for a few days, but she couldn't hold back Mrs Xu, so she had to read with idle books.After reading it for a long time, even the interesting words on weekdays felt dull.

When He Zimo's siblings came to see her, Qingmei was covering her face with the storybook, leaning on the soft pillow and sighing.

Seeing her lazy appearance, He Zimo smiled, and He Zilian walked over lightly, suddenly took off the script from her face, approached her with a smile and said, "Sister, why are you sighing!"

"Lian'er, you're here! I've been suffocated to death these days!" Qingmei seemed to see her savior, she sat up and grabbed He Zilian's shoulder and smiled, even He Zimo didn't pay attention when she came over.

He Zilian giggled and said, "I've been unwell for the past few days, and my mother forced me to drink medicine. I didn't drink your chrysanthemum wine on Chongyang Day, but I drank a mouthful of bitter soup medicine. Alas, we feel sorry for each other." Le Le: "Aunt He said that you were sick that day, and I thought I'd go see you first, but I didn't recover slowly. But I'm better than you, at least I drank some wine."

Suddenly, the light in front of her eyes dimmed, Qingmei looked up and saw He Zimo, and hurriedly said: "Mr. He is here, please sit down." She wanted to get out of bed to pour tea, but was stopped by He Zilian, so she had to apologize: "Mother has something to go out, and I can't even pour tea."

"Why can't we fall? We have hands and feet." Since he stepped down as a teacher, He Zimo is no longer as strict as before, and he speaks and acts like a brother next door.

He poured tea to Qingmei and He Zilian each, then sat at the table as before, watching her little sisters talk.

When He Zilian asked about the injury, Qingmei only said that there was no serious problem after a few days of training.When mentioning the cause of the injury, he had to say it vaguely. He only mentioned the matter of meeting Yao Xiuwu, and then asked He Zimo: "I heard that this year's list came out early, so Mr. He should be at the top of the list, right?"

He Zimo nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "The girl from the Wu family last time, are you familiar with her?"

Wu Yujian, Qingmei thought for a while: "It's not really acquaintance. Her grandfather once taught me how to make wine. She is a very interesting old man. I only met this Wu Yujian after I went to the capital. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, we See you for the second time."

He Zimo responded, and stopped talking. When Mrs. Xu came back, he wanted to save the meal when he saw the two brothers and sisters.The two families hadn't eaten together for a few days, so they invited Mrs. He over to have dinner together.

Mrs. Xu has been very busy recently. She not only has to take care of Qingmei and tell her to rest, but also has to go out to find out the news - after spending many days squatting outside Gu's mansion, Mrs. Xu chose a servant girl who seems to be talkative.But she didn't dare to come forward, fearing that it would be ugly if she recognized it in the future, so she managed to ask someone to inquire about it.

It is not uncommon to inquire about the preferences of noble ladies.Mrs. Xu only said that she had something to ask for, and she had to find out the hobbies of Mrs. Gu's mansion and Mrs. Langjun's girls. That person was familiar with this kind of thing, and after taking advantage of it, she agreed. Now Mrs. Xu is waiting for news .

In the early hours of the next day, after begging Mrs. Xu softly and coquettishly, Qingmei leaned on a cane to relax in the yard. He Zilian came to accompany her, and the two little sisters ate melon seeds and played chess when they had nothing to do.Next to him was the little one leaning against Qingmei's feet, whining and playing with a bone.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard, He Zilian ran over to open the door, and was stunned for a moment——Isn't the man in brocade clothes and jade shirt outside the door just Wei Li?

Wei Li was startled when he saw her, but He Zilian knew that she was looking for Qingmei, so he let him in, and poured tea.Wei Li walked up to Qingmei, saw that she was still leaning on a cane, and said, "You were hurt badly that day?" Taking advantage of the situation, he sat down opposite her.

Qingmei was a little surprised at his arrival, and replied: "It's not that serious, it's because my mother was too cautious, and insisted on me leaning on this. Didn't Wei Sanlang come to drink?"

"I really want to drink, do you have any for sale?" Judging by the tone, Wei Li obviously didn't come to buy wine, so Qing Mei looked at him and said nothing.It happened that He Zilian poured tea out, put a cup for each of them, glanced at Wei Li, and sat down next to her with a pout, showing a bit of vigilance.

Wei Li looked at Qingmei's effort to hold back her smile, and seeing that He Zilian didn't plan to make room for the two of them to be alone, he said, "I'm passing through Wuhe Street, and I stopped by to see your injury."

"The injury is already healed, I have to thank you that day." Qingmei's face felt a little hot when she remembered what happened that day.
