The water thief matter has come to an end, and Mrs. Xu's fetal pressure has gradually stabilized. Mrs. Xu feels sorry for Xu Qingmo and Zhengyang, and is ready to take over the housekeeper's matter, but Zhengyang refuses.
"Mother-in-law just needs to take good care of her baby. I'll help with the housekeeping these few months. After she gives birth, she will take care of all these things!" Zhengyang held Mrs. Xu's hand and said, "Mother-in-law If you are worried, I will bring the account book over to my mother-in-law every day..."
Mrs. Xu patted Zhengyang's hand: "What nonsense are you talking about! I just think that you and Yanquan are newly married, so you have to be burdened with these trivial matters. You are still young, and you shouldn't be entangled in these things so early!" "
Zhengyang shook his head: "Mother-in-law's health is important!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Zhengyang for a long time, and then said softly: "Good boy!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the two people walking in the courtyard in front of him and yawned twice in succession: "How about I go back and take a nap first, and you two take your time strolling around?"
"Mo Mo!" Mrs. Xu turned back to look at Xu Qingmo, "You can't stay in the house all day long! You should be like us and go out for a walk more often!"
Xu Qingmo was scolded and could only reluctantly follow them while yawning and strolling.
Later, in order to avoid the two men wandering around from time to time, Xu Qingmo made an excuse and took Hua Ying and Qu Lian out. Then by chance, he met Meng Hetong in Dongshi.
Meng Hetong glanced at the candied haws in his hand, and then handed it to Xu Qingmo: "Why are you here?"
Xu Qingmo looked at the bunch of candied haws in front of him and felt a little strange: "Why do you always have a bunch of candied haws on you?"
"I saw it, so I bought a bunch. What if I meet you?" Meng Hetong said with a smile, "Why did you come to Dongshi today?"
"I originally wanted someone to send me a roast duck, but I didn't expect that my mother and sister-in-law would always drag me around, so I just went out and ate it myself!" Xu Qingmo pouted, "What about you? Marquis Yongchang ?”
"I'm just hungry!" Meng Hetong smiled, "Would you like to share a table?"
"Just pay the bill!" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows.
Meng Hetong laughed: "Okay, I'll pay for it! I'm really scared of you!"
A group of people walked to the roast duck shop. Xu Qingmo took a look inside and outside, and then asked: "Shopkeeper, where is your girl?"
"Going to study!" The shopkeeper came out with a smile, holding a plate of sliced roast duck in his hand. "Read some books and know the words. Then you won't be blind like us and don't understand anything. Don’t understand anything!”
Xu Qingmo took a deep look at the shopkeeper and said nothing more.
The two of them sat facing each other like this. Occasionally, if someone passed by and took a second look, Meng and Tong would move their positions and try to cover Xu Qingmo's face with their bodies. On the contrary, Xu Qingmo's face was full of indifference.
"Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood?" Meng Hetong took the chopsticks but did not pick up the duck meat, but looked at Xu Qingmo seriously.
"What's the misunderstanding?" Xu Qingmo looked up at Meng Hetong and asked.
"Misunderstand that we are...conferring to each other privately?"
Xu Qingmo was amused: "What are you teaching? Roast duck?"
Meng Hetong was a little distracted when he saw Xu Qingmo's smile. After a long time, he smiled and said, "You!"
"Don't worry about what other people think. The most they can do is gossip behind our backs and never dare to say anything about us to our faces!" Xu Qingmo smiled and then focused on the roast duck in front of him, "Their roast duck is really Absolutely nothing tastes better than this!”
Meng Hetong didn't answer, but wrapped up roast ducks one after another for Xu Qingmo.
"Why don't you eat?" Xu Qingmo's cheeks were bulging.
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo and couldn't help but laugh: "Why don't you notice this at ordinary times? This girl like you is quite edible!"
"Life is about food and clothing. Eat well, wear well, and live a good life!" There were too many green onions in Meng Hetong's dough, which was so spicy that Xu Qingmo couldn't open his eyes.
"So now that you are well-fed and well-dressed, have you ever thought about what kind of husband you would marry?" Meng Hetong changed the topic abruptly.
Xu Qingmo looked up at him: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Ah, what about that? Some time ago, a sister in my family got engaged. She is a little younger than you, so I was a little curious about what kind of husband your daughter's family would like!" Meng Hetong's eyes were a little dodgey.
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong for a long time and directly exposed him: "Don't you want to get married?"
Meng Hetong said nothing, his ears turned red from holding back.
Xu Qingmo laughed: "You are so shy, I thought you had a daughter you like!"
Meng Hetong did not refute, but looked at Xu Qingmo with burning eyes.
Xu Qingmo suddenly realized that Meng Hetong seemed to have a daughter he really liked. At that moment, she suddenly felt that the roast duck in her mouth seemed to have lost the aroma of fat, leaving only a greasy taste: "Whose girl is this? ?”
"You don't need to know this, you just need to tell me what kind of husband your daughter's family would like!" Meng Hetong raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu Qingmo put down the chopsticks in his hand, thought for a long time, and then said: "The husbands my daughter's family likes should all be like my eldest brother. He is young and promising, treats others politely and thoughtfully, is a scholar who has read thousands of books, but can Heroes who go to the battlefield with swords are probably like this!"
"You're talking about someone else. If it were you, what kind of husband would you like?" Meng Hetong asked again.
Xu Qingmo paused, then looked up at Meng Hetong: "Me? I don't have a husband I like... I don't know what kind of husband I will like!"
Xu Qingmo recalled carefully that in her previous life, she thought that she loved the prince so much that she went into battle to kill the enemy for him. But when she found out that he had betrayed her, the Xu family, and the court, she could immediately raise her sword. Xiang Xiang, thinking carefully, maybe she didn't like the prince.
It was just because he, when she was most desperate, reached out to her and gave her a way to avenge the Xu family. Although it was a lie, she believed it at that time.
"Since you were a child, have you never had a crush on any young man, or a young man you were even slightly attracted to?" Meng Hetong asked again, unwilling to give up.
Xu Qingmo looked up at Meng Hetong, and then shook his head seriously: "No, I am withdrawn and like to dance with swords and guns. Except for my eldest brother, there are very few people of similar age to play with me! I can I have seen very few men who are better than my eldest brother!"
