"grown ups……"
Whispering into his ears, Qin Zeng suddenly remembered that day in the cave, when the waves were rising, and he felt that half of his life was lost, "Little girl, you must be responsible for me today to the end..."
Li Qingyi had almost lost his mind. Hearing this sentence in a daze, he suddenly sobered up a little.
Seeing her open her eyes, Qin Zeng raised a smile on his lips, "It seems that you are willing in your heart."
Li Qingyi opened his lips to speak, but the words were stuck on the tip of his tongue.
It was three o'clock in the morning the next day, but there was no movement at all in the house.
Lian Shuang had a tangled look on her face, and came to Han Jiang's side and said, "It's getting late, should we go in and call out?"
Although Hanjiang Lianshuang also served Li Qingyi before, Hengwu and Isatis had the final say in everything. Now, although Hengwu has detoxified, he still needs to recuperate his body, and Isatis has not returned to Dapudu Temple. , the two of them were a little unsure.
Han Jiang seemed to be calmer than Lianshuang, "My uncle gave me instructions yesterday, saying that it's rare to have a free day today. You don't have to go out. You have to have a good sleep without being disturbed."
"But, didn't the uncle get up in the morning to practice martial arts just now? Are you going back to sleep now?" Lian Shuang looked up at the sun again, "But, the sun is really getting high..."
Han Jiang also hesitated, "Then I'll ask Mother Jiang."
Mother Jiang happened to come over and said with a smile: "What are you asking about? Since I have given you orders, I will naturally follow them."
inside the house.
Li Qingyi is the one who "sleeps back in the cage" and is very sleepy. Qin Zeng's hands are still spinning in her underwear. Li Qingyi is about to wake up, and reaches out to pat his paws away, "I still have something to ask you for advice."
Qin Zeng reluctantly took back his hand, raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Qingyi turned over and faced him, "You also know my arrangement, but how should I let the old lady go to Huiyue Residence to sit for a while?"
Qin Zeng looked at her lips and said only three words, "Leave it to me."
Li Qingyi listened to her pun and stretched out his fingers to touch his face, "It's getting late. I still have a lot of things to do. You have to go."
Qin Zeng had no choice but to say, "You are trying to kill the donkey."
Li Qingyi rolled his eyes at him, "I can't kill such a rough-skinned and thick-fleshed donkey."
Qin Zeng smiled: "Then... take a bite and try it?"
Li Qingyi thought of the tooth marks left on his shoulder when he couldn't bear it yesterday, and his face turned red. He got up and crossed him to get off the bed. He raised his voice and called Han Jiang Lianshuang to come in and wait on him.
Qin Zeng sighed, muttered "heartless little girl", and stood up.
The curtains were lifted, and the sunlight suddenly shone in, making the room brightly lit.
After getting up too late, Li Qingyi first admitted his mistake to Jiang's mother and asked the princess and the old lady if anyone had come to check. Then he felt relieved and hurriedly went to take care of the housework. After finishing his work, it was noon.
Li Qingyi asked Qin Zeng to come back for lunch. Qin Zeng didn't bother her at the moment. He just said that all the things she told him had been arranged, and he took advantage of lunch. Then he went to the front yard study and left a message before leaving. , "When you're done, ask someone to call me."
Li Qingyi glared at him, "Go quickly!"
*****
In the evening, the old lady took only Lan Qi with her and went to Huiyueju.
Mrs. Lin had finished dinner and was comparing patterns with an embroidered quilt under the lamp. When she heard that the old lady was coming, she quickly put down her things and got up to greet her.
"Why are you here in person? If anything happens, just ask someone to call your daughter-in-law."
The old lady waved her hand, "It's nothing. Today's food is delicious. I used half a bowl of rice more. I went out for a walk to eat."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin ordered Nan Zhu, "Go and serve a bowl of longan and red date soup for the old lady."
Longan and red date soup nourishes qi, activates blood circulation, strengthens the spleen and stomach. The old lady often drinks it, but she didn’t say anything after hearing this.
After finishing half a cup of soup, the old lady's eyes fell on Lin's embroidered quilt, and she saw a clear jade flower embroidered on it, with yellow stamens, like a lily, but it had lost some shape. I guess it's because of poor embroidery skills.
"I've never seen you as a female celebrity."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law became pregnant not long after she entered the house. She was raising the baby first, and then she was busy taking care of Brother Yi. When the child grew older, there were more things in the house, and the daughter-in-law really didn't have the energy to do these things." , I usually let the girls prepare."
The old lady nodded, "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
"Whatever the old lady said, this is what a daughter-in-law should do. However, when it comes to giving birth, the daughter-in-law is thinking that since brother Zhen has married a wife, and they are the eldest brothers and sisters-in-law of the younger generations in the house, many things should be done early. Take it up on your shoulders. I think it’s better to let Brother Zhen’s daughter-in-law follow me to manage the house. Firstly, let her get familiar with the personnel in the house earlier. Secondly, Brother Yi has also reached the age of talking about marriage, and the daughter-in-law needs to devote some energy. He should worry more about his marriage."
The old lady glanced at Mrs. Lin when she heard this.
In fact, she came today because she really wanted to mention this matter.
But after all, the Lin family is the step-mother, separated from Qin Zeng and his wife by one floor, and asking Li Qingyi to help the housekeeper is inevitably suspected of decentralization of power.
Over the years, Mrs. Lin has helped her support Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and she has worked hard and made great achievements. If she thinks too much about it, some thoughts will affect Gongsun Yi when the time comes, which will not be a good thing.
It was the time when Gongsun Yi was studying and making progress, and he shouldn't be distracted by the messy things in the house.
But since Mrs. Lin took the initiative to bring it up, it was easier for her to speak.
"She is still young, and no matter how smart she is, she must have shortcomings. It is too early to let her take charge of the house. She is just learning from you. In addition, a sheep is herded, and a group of sheep is herded. How many two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments are there? You are so young, you have to work hard."
Mrs. Lin smiled gracefully and said, "What the old lady said is that since we have returned to the capital, the girls in the house will have to be more cautious in their marriages. The ability to manage the family is very important."
The old lady glanced at her with satisfaction, "It's getting late, I'll go back now."
Ms. Lin stood up and said, "I'll see the old lady off."
"No need."
The old lady was about to leave when she saw from the corner of her eye that the cushion Lin was sitting on had a corner tilted up, as if she had stuffed something inside in a hurry that she had no time to hide.
"What is this?" The old lady flicked it, and a purse was revealed. The pattern on it was almost the same as that on the embroidered stretcher.
She picked it up and looked at it, "Why are they embroidered exactly the same?"
Mrs. Lin looked over and was startled: "Hey, I thought this one was lost, so I wanted to embroider another one, but I didn't expect to find it."
The old lady did not doubt that he was there. After hearing this, she reached out and handed the purse over, but the strap on the purse was not fastened and the contents fell out.
Mrs. Lin looked down and her face suddenly changed in shock, "How could there be such a thing in my room!"
The old lady narrowed her eyes, stepped forward to pick up the thing and took a look, and she suddenly became angry with shame!
