Jiang Miao locked the scented candles in the cabinet and put the key in the sachet on her waist. There were so many people in the fragrance shop now that she couldn't trust everyone yet. To be on the safe side, it was better to be cautious. .
Mrs. Feng helped organize and clean the table, and the room became tidy again.
She didn't pay attention while she was busy. After finishing her work, Jiang Miao realized that the sky had completely darkened, and she could see a few stars through the window. Jiang Miao felt nervous. She didn't go back so late, and Shen Yanqing should be anxious.
"Ms. Feng, you should go home quickly. If the porridge at the city gate runs out, go to the county government office and ask for one from Shi Lei."
There is a fixed time for the county government to give out porridge every day. After this point, the people will go hungry. Mrs. Feng missed the time while working with her. Jiang Miao would not treat his subordinates harshly when they were hungry, so she gave special instructions before leaving. She said.
"Hey, I understand, madam."
The longer Mrs. Feng spends time with Jiang Miao, the more she respects her. An official wife like Jiang Miao who has no pretensions and is considerate to her subordinates is really rare in the world, not to mention that she also teaches herself how to make aromatherapy.
Although Mrs. Feng was a country woman, she knew that these fragrant beads and aromatherapy were used by nobles, and she was lucky enough to learn from them because she had accumulated good deeds in her previous life.
She cherishes this job, so she is more grateful and respectful to Jiang Miao.
"Madam, please..."
She stepped forward and opened the door, wanting to send Jiang Miao out, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw a man standing outside the door, with a thin figure standing in the backlight, and the bright moonlight shone on him, clear and clear.
"grown ups?"
Madam Feng blurted out the words. She never expected that Shen Yanqing would be waiting for his wife at the door. She couldn't leave her for a moment.
Jiang Miao heard the commotion and walked out of the house, and saw the man outside the door with the corners of his mouth raised and his eyes curled up in a smile.
"Ms. sir, are you here to pick me up?"
"Um."
Madam Feng looked at the man's cold expression, which was visibly melting and warming up. His eyes when looking at Jiang Miao were warm and affectionate. Madam Feng suppressed the envy in her heart, lowering her head and not daring to look further.
Your Excellency and Madam are indeed a young couple. They are still in a sweet mood at the moment. They are not like her family, who are just clumsy and careless. Not to mention coming to pick her up, they may not even notice where she goes.
Comparing people to each other was so irritating that Mrs. Feng scolded her man in her heart. Jiang Miao had no idea what she was thinking. Shen Yanqing came to pick her up, which was beyond her expectation. This was the first time she was single in her previous life. Enjoy the privilege of being picked up by your boyfriend after work.
"Ms. Feng, please go home quickly. We are leaving first."
"Congratulations, madam!"
Madam Feng watched the two of them walk away. Shen Yanqing reached out to hold Jiang Miao's hand, and moved her body slightly forward to shield her from the cold night wind. Jiang Miao didn't know what she said and laughed and fell on him, and Shen Yanqing reached out to hold her in his arms. live.
Madam Feng stopped and stared at the door for a while, and then came back to her senses after the two figures disappeared at the street entrance.
"It's great to be young."
She gathered up her clothes and hurried home. Now her stomach was growling with hunger. She still didn't want to worry about romance. She just wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing first.
"Madam, you are back!"
Zhao Yang waited at the door for a long time before he saw Mrs. Feng's figure, and he hurried forward to greet her.
"I'm just waiting for you to eat. The porridge won't be hot if you wait any longer..." There isn't even a stove at home, so the porridge can't be heated even if it's cold. Zhao Yang couldn't bear to let her eat cold food. I was so anxious. If I hadn't known that she had been called away by the madam, I would have gone looking for her.
Madam Feng didn't expect that he would be waiting for her outside and bring her food back with her. Her eyes were filled with heat and she felt very anxious.
"You can just eat first, what are you waiting for me to do..."
He was uttering words of complaint, but he couldn't hold back the smile on his face. No matter how naive Zhao Yang was, he knew that Mrs. Feng was not angry. He scratched his head stupidly and smiled innocently.
"It's just a short wait. Mom said she would wait for you."
"Go in quickly, don't keep me waiting."
Mrs. Feng and Zhao Yang quickly walked into the house. The Zhao family's house was a newly built three-room earthen house. At this moment, a kerosene lamp was lit in the main room. Under the dim light, Zhao's mother and two children were sitting at the table.
The white porridge on the table was still steaming. Mother Zhao saw Mrs. Feng coming in and looked at her with loving eyes.
"Back."
"Hey, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Madam Feng's eyes were filled with heat, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
"Hurry up and sit down and eat."
"mother,"
"mother."
The two children dragged her to sit at the table, "Today's porridge was made by me and my father together, and my brother and I brought it back together..."
The two children acted coquettishly, and Mrs. Feng's heart softened. If she had envied Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing's affectionate relationship before, the envy in her heart had long been wiped away when she saw her family. Everyone has something.
Everyone's happiness, her current life is happy enough.
"My wife taught me how to make scented candles today, so I came back late..."
"Scented candle?"
Zhao's mother didn't know what it was. She had only seen candles, but one was so expensive that ordinary people like them couldn't afford it. This scented candle sounded more expensive than the candle.
"Well, it smells delicious. Madam said she wants to sell it to noble ladies in the capital."
Madam Feng looked proud. From now on, she would make things for noble ladies in the capital.
"Oh, then you have to do a good job and don't let down the madam's hard work..."
Zhao's mother was also happy. She said that her daughter-in-law was a promising person and now she was working with her. In the past, the gossiping mother-in-law in the village mocked her for not knowing enough about people, so she chose a restless daughter-in-law for her son.
But after so many years of marriage, Mrs. Feng has always been hardworking and capable, keeping the house clean and tidy, filial, and good-tempered. Mother Zhao is kind-hearted and treats her as a daughter sincerely. Now she also cares for her from the bottom of her heart.
happy.
Zhao Yang was clumsy and could not say any words of blessing, so he only poured most of the porridge in his bowl for her.
"You eat more."
Madam Feng gave him an angry look, "How could I eat so much?"
"Hey, I'll take the rest if you can't finish it. Don't go hungry."
"fool."
Mrs. Feng lowered her head and took a sip of the porridge. She felt that the usually bland white porridge tasted particularly sweet.
…
Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing walked hand in hand to the county government office. The early summer night breeze was blowing on their faces, making them feel cool and comfortable. She leaned against Shen Yanqing and closed her eyes slightly, feeling the summer night breeze and the chirping of cicadas.
Jiang Miao's body still smelled of sweet raspberries, and the sweet smell kept coming into Shen Yanqing's nose. He held Jiang Miao's hand tightly and asked her to get closer to him.
Jiang Miao noticed his little thoughts, raised the corners of her mouth, and a sly smile flashed in her eyes.
Shen Yanqing felt his face heat up. The woman's soft red lips fell and left quickly, leaving only the sweet and sour berry fragrance. His throat tightened and his eyes stared at her.
"Miaoya..."
"Let's go, go home quickly."
Jiang Miao had no consciousness of flirting at all and ran away after flirting. Shen Yanqing sighed helplessly, with deep eyes that wanted to devour her whole body.
