The little maid didn't expect him to ask such a question. She was stunned for a few seconds before answering, "Madam, she must have suffered some cold. She drank some ginger tea when she went back. She just needs to rest on the bed."
Brother Cheng nodded seriously, "Okay, you go back and tell your mother to have a good rest. I will visit her another day."
"yes."
After the maid finished speaking, she left. Mother Mei and Mei Yuanqing looked at him talking like a little grown-up, and they both touched his head and laughed.
Mei Yuanqing felt that his son had finally learned to respect his aunt, which was a good thing.
Mei's mother thought he was cute in ice and snow.
Only Zhang Ruoruo, who was standing behind to serve, had an unnatural expression on his face.
He clenched his hands and his heart was filled with anger.
Brother Cheng Mingming was obviously the meat that fell out of her belly, and it was she who worked hard to raise him up, so why did she care about the Wei family now? The Wei family is just the mother on the surface, and they are their biological flesh and blood.
.....................
At dinner time, the Hongxia Pavilion is steaming with steam.
The three of them were guarding the pot, and Lian'er was looking at the meat in the pot without blinking, counting the time in her mind.
"It's ready to be scooped up, hurry up! The meat is at its most tender now, and it won't taste good if you cook it again."
Lian'er and Wei Jingwei looked at each other with a smile, and obediently picked up the slices of meat with chopsticks and threw them into the dipping sauce, which melted in their mouths.
Seeing the two people's expressions of enjoyment, Lian'er was very proud, "See what I said is right. This piece of meat only needs to be scalded for three to three quarters of an hour. When you pick it up, the meat will be very soft and tender, just right."
Wei Jingwei nodded while enjoying the delicious food.
When it comes to eating, Lian'er does have a talent that ordinary people can't match.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them ate other slices of meat and vegetables one by one. After the vegetables are cooked in the fish soup base, they have a very delicious flavor when picked up.
Mixed with the original fragrance of vegetables, and then dipped in sesame oil and other things, it is so delicious in the mouth.
It was rare for the three of them to eat together at the table. Wei Jingwei also ate a lot without realizing it, and the plates on the table quickly ran out of food.
Seeing that Lian'er wasn't satisfied yet, she ordered the maid at the door, "Go to the kitchen and ask for two plates of mutton slices. Cut them thinly."
Maid: "Yes."
"This year has passed again. You two have been by my side this year. I have never mentally treated you two as real masters and servants. You two are like my sisters. This is mine. Take it and buy something you like."
After Wei Jingwei finished speaking, she took out two beautifully embroidered purses.
The purse was light and seemed to have no weight, but both Su'er and Lian'er knew that the seemingly light purse given by their lady must contain banknotes.
The two of them didn't hesitate and bowed, "Thank you, miss."
Wei Jingwei quickly asked them to sit down, raised her wine glass, and said with a smile: "I just hope that in the coming year, our life will get better and better."
Lian'er's eyes were gleaming, and she knew that these words were the most sincere wishes from the young lady's heart.
It is really not easy for the young lady in the Mei family, every step she takes is like walking on thin ice. She also hopes that the young lady's life will get better and better, and wishes that she can get rid of the current predicament as soon as possible.
"My slave also wishes you better and better days in the coming year." Su'er raised the wine glass high and drank it down in one gulp.
"The same goes for me. I can't say anything nice, but I sincerely hope that the young lady will be well." After Lian'er finished speaking, she also drank the drink boldly.
The words between the two of them blew into Wei Jingwei's heart like a spring breeze in February.
She raised her head through the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
If my mother was still here, if my mother could hear me, she probably hoped that I would get better and better.
After drinking for three rounds, Su'er and Lian'er helped her lie down and then withdrew.
The maids also have their own gatherings. As the eldest maids of Hongxia Pavilion, the two of them always have to go there.
After changing into thick clothes, he hurried towards the backyard.
Seeing the two people leaving, a dark figure tapped his toes and slipped in very lightly.
Wei Jingwei was lying on the couch, thinking about many things that had happened this year. Her emotions were a little complicated, and she couldn't sleep for a while.
She faced inside and suddenly turned over. Suddenly she saw a dark figure standing beside her couch, and she was startled.
The candles were blown out and the light in the room was very dim. She couldn't see the face of the black figure in front of her clearly for a while, so she subconsciously opened her mouth to scream.
"It's me." A cold voice sounded, and Wei Jingwei stopped talking.
She got off the bed in her regular clothes, lit the candle beside the bed, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person in front of her was indeed Jiang Yinbai.
"Isn't there something wrong with you sneaking into my bedroom in the middle of the night, Mr. Jiang?" She walked to the table and sat down, poured tea for the two of them, and then spoke in a joking tone.
Jiang Yinbai wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to come and see how she was doing, but he didn't expect to be discovered as soon as he arrived. He thought she would be angry and question him, so he was mentally prepared, but seeing her soft tone, she didn't seem to have this. mean.
When he came to the table, he lifted up his robe and sat down. The two got closer, and Wei Jingwei smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body and frowned, "Where did you come from, with such a strong smell of alcohol on your body. "
Jiang Yinbai must have drunk a lot of wine. His starry eyes were a bit intoxicated. He held his head with one hand and looked at Wei Jingwei in a hazy manner. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Come from the palace. Your Majesty will set up a banquet tonight." During the banquet for the courtiers, those who usually hate me found the opportunity and asked me to toast them one by one. Of course I couldn't show weakness, so I drank more."
She just asked casually, and Jiang Yinbai explained everything. His face did not look alienated and indifferent as usual, but instead had a coquettish tone.
behave in a spoiled manner?
Wei Jingwei immediately denied her illusion.
Just kidding, the leader of Jin Yiwei, Jiang Yinbai, can act coquettishly, that is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"You drank so much, why don't you come home and come to my place?"
"I'm already drunk, and you still chase me. You're such a heartless person." After saying that, he pouted, and his apparently peerless face showed a bit of loneliness and grievance.
Wei Jingwei's heart trembled, and she felt a strange feeling that she had never felt before.
She quickly drank all the water in the water glass before she felt better.
"The Holy One talked about my marriage today."
"That's right about marriage. You are not young now. Most men at your age will probably have children. But Mr. Jiang, you are still alone. There are a lot of rumors outside. "Wei Jingwei laughed.
"Rumors? What rumors?" Jiang Yinbai asked with a rare look of confusion on his face.
