The purpose of coming to the General's Mansion was accomplished. The woman and Kong Yinfan sat with Kong Yueqing for a while and gave them some instructions on what to pay attention to during pregnancy.
Even without having dinner, the old couple drove the carriage back to the village. As soon as the sky darkened, dinner began to be prepared in the general's backyard. After a busy day of official duties, Liu Heng came to the backyard and ate with Kong Yueqing.
Before getting married, Liu Heng ate in his hostel room almost every day. Now that he was married, he would almost always have dinner with Kong Yueqing whenever he was in the General's Mansion.
The food on the table is simple, one meat, one vegetarian, and a pot of soup. What we eat is steamed buns with jade and wheat noodles.
"My father-in-law is here today?" Liu Heng bit off a piece of steamed bun and said to Kong Yueqing. When he was busy, he would also discuss official matters with his subordinates during meals, so there was no particular emphasis on talking during meals and sleeping. He had long been accustomed to chatting at the dinner table.
Kong Yueqing, who also came from a small family, did not pay attention to these things and replied: "My parents are here. Originally, I wanted to keep them for dinner, but my parents were worried about my brother and went back in a hurry."
"Have you told me about your brother's lecture at the martial arts hall?" Liu Heng asked, taking a bite of the steamed bun and chewing it in his mouth.
Kong Yueqing said with a smile on her face: "I told you, the old couple were very happy to hear it." She did not say that her mother did not want Kong Shangyun to join the army.
I am worried that once I leave such an impression on the general, the general will not like Kong Shangyun in the future. As a sister, she still hopes that her brother can be put to good use by the general.
"That's good, eat more food." Liu Heng added a piece of meat with kuaizi and put it into the bowl in front of Kong Yueqing, and said,
"Your parents didn't say anything about Qufu?" Kong Yinjing went to see his father-in-law's family. It was no secret to him.
"Don't mention it, I get angry when I think about it." Kong Yueqing said with a grim look on her face,
"I don't know what my sixth uncle said to my father. Today, my father asked me about Qufu, so I gave him a scolding and told him not to get involved with Qufu again in the future. Things over there." As she said that, she glanced at Liu Heng secretly.
Liu Heng put down the remaining half of the steamed bun in his hand and said, "I don't want him to get involved in Qufu's affairs. From now on, the old couple will stay in Datong to take care of themselves."
"General, don't worry. No one took care of my family when they were in Qufu. Now that they have lived a good life for a few days, it is impossible for some people to ruin it again." Kong Yueqing understood what Liu Heng meant and gave it directly. A guarantee.
Regarding her father's affairs, she knew that she had to press down. She could never let her father be deceived by her sixth uncle again.
"Eat more, now you have two mouths." Liu Heng put some vegetables in front of Kong Yueqing and said at the same time,
"When you are free, I will go home with you. If you are inconvenient, you can bring your family over to stay for a while. It's not like there are no spare rooms in the General's Mansion." When a woman is pregnant, she is most sensitive, and he doesn't want to be in such a situation. It’s time to talk too much.
And he knew that his wife was a smart person, and when the words came to the point, she would naturally understand what to do.
"Drink some soup to relieve your tiredness." Kong Yueqing picked up the soup bowl and handed it to Liu Heng coquettishly. Liu Heng took it, picked up the spoon, scooped some into the bowl, and then put the soup bowl in front of Kong Yueqing, and said harmoniously: "It's a bit hot, let it dry before drinking." Compared to Liu Heng here During the cozy dinner, Kong Yinjing, who lived in the Daiwang Palace, was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were blistered. There were nine plates and bowls on the table in front of him, but he had no appetite at all now.
"Master, I'm so incompetent that I couldn't invite anyone here." A young boy walked in from outside the house.
"Trash, if you can't do such a small thing well, what's the point of raising you?" Kong Yinjing yelled at the boy.
For the matter in Qufu, in addition to meeting Kong Yinfan, he also found some respectable people in Datong.
I thought that with Kong's face, others would give him some face no matter what. Who knew that when he met several people from the Tiger Character Flag, they acted businesslike and did not give him or Kong any face. Even the banquet at Daiwang Palace in the evening, no one came to the banquet.
The boy who was scolded lowered his head and did not dare to speak, for fear that he would be scolded more harshly if he said another word. He kept glancing at the dishes on the table with the corner of his eye, and kept swallowing saliva.
Kong Yin sat on the stool angrily, looked up at the boy standing in front of him, and asked, "Aren't the people from the General's Mansion invited as well?"
"No, the little one didn't see anyone. He was stopped by the guards outside and didn't let him get close at all." The boy said.
Kong Yinjing's face sank and he said, "You didn't say that I am the general's wife's natal family?"
"I told you, but they didn't pay attention at all." The boy said with a grimace. Snapped! Kong Yin slapped the table with an angry hand.
A wine cup on the edge of the table was knocked to the ground and shattered into two pieces, one large and one small.
The Daiwang Palace has been converted into a high-end restaurant, and there is a waiter guarding outside each private room so that the guests inside can take care of them at any time if something happens.
Just after the wine cup was broken, the waiter who was guarding outside heard it and hurriedly entered the private room. He noticed the broken wine cup on the ground at a glance and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Get out!" Kong Yinjing looked at the man who had rushed in and cursed. A lowly guy, he cursed too much and it just became a tool for him to vent his anger.
"Then you eat! I won't disturb you." Although the boy looked bad, he still left.
The boy on the side said at this time: "Master, you should eat something first. If you can't do it, go to the general's wife. After all, we are a family." The boy took the wine cup on the other side of the table to Kong Yinjing. In front of him, a glass of wine was filled for Kong Yinjing.
Zixiao! Kong Yin respectfully picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he picked up the kuaizi and started eating the food on the table.
Such a table of dishes cost him almost a hundred silver dollars. If he didn't eat it back, he would feel even more at a loss.
The boy was waiting on the side, swallowing saliva constantly. After a while, my master has eaten and drank enough, so he can eat the rest of the meal.
In the following days, Kong Yinjing encountered obstacles everywhere. In order to solve the Kong family's troubles, he came to Datong this time and brought a lot of silver, and even more than a hundred taels of gold.
In order to better smoothen the relationship, he also exchanged all the money he brought with him into silver dollars. Unfortunately, in the end, apart from his own expenses, he could not give away a single silver dollar.
Even when I went to the general's mansion to see the general's wife, I couldn't do it.
