In fact, Qingrong and Xue Shao did not quarrel. The reason why people gave people this wrong impression is probably because of the awkward relationship between them. It is said that they are not familiar with each other, but they even did the most intimate things last night... It is said that they are close,
But from the first time they met until now, they have only met a few times, and they don't even know the other person's likes and habits... In addition, Qing Rong doesn't want to talk to him, and Xue Shao is taciturn, so the two of them naturally have nothing to say.
Xue Shao and Qing Rong eat completely differently. When Qing Rong eats, he eats one bite after another, not eating too much, his movements are gentle and graceful, and according to Wang's words, he behaves in a moderate manner. This is the etiquette that an official woman should have.
But Xue Shao, on the other hand, ate very quickly and a lot, and the bottom of his bowl was gone in just a few strokes.
Qingrong thought that he might be hungry, but he ate too casually, chewing meat in his mouth, very casually. However, no one spoke in the room, so the sound he made when he was eating was very clear.
Qingrong was a little disgusted and inadvertently twitched the corner of her mouth. After taking two bites, she had no intention of eating anymore.
Azhen and Songyue looked at each other in embarrassment. Why did Ah Lang look like he had been hungry for several days?
Seeing Qingrong put down her chopsticks, Xue Shao swallowed the food in her mouth and looked up at her. He frowned and asked, "Are you full?" He just saw that she only moved her chopsticks a few times and didn't eat much at all.
.
Qingrong said calmly: "I don't have any appetite, you can eat it."
Xue Shao lowered his eyes and said, "Does the cooking in the kitchen not suit your taste?"
Qingrong shook his head, "You're welcome, I'm going back to the room first." After saying that, he took Azhen and Songyue out, leaving Xue Shao alone.
After seeing her leave, Xue Shao ate the rice in his bowl in silence. He was wondering if he had made her unhappy in some way. Although he was not as thoughtful as the woman, he also keenly felt the change in Qingrong. Could it be that she was like this?
Can't you bear to eat with yourself at the same table? Even if you don't want to, you shouldn't use your own body to vent your anger. How can you be hungry if you don't eat?
Here, Qingrong had just returned to the room and sat down. Azhen and Songyue had been in front of Qingrong for many years, and they could more or less guess the reason for Qingrong's behavior.
Azhen and Songyue winked at each other, but Songyue said cautiously: "Madam, I think Alang treats Sanniang very well. This morning, while Madam was still dressing up in the room, he went to the kitchen to order the next meal.
Everything must be done according to the lady’s preference.”
Azhen also echoed: "Yes, yes, although Ah Lang is a bit clumsy in his words, he is not sloppy in his work." Seeing that Qingrong didn't speak, Azhen's voice also weakened, "It's just that I have some minor problems on weekdays, but
This is also normal."
Qingrong said calmly: "Oh? I didn't know you were also attracted to him now?" On the first day of their wedding, he had already intimidated the people in his room to talk about him. To say he was stupid was not true at all.
Songyue advised: "Madam, it's not that we want to talk too much. This couple always understands and gets along with each other in their lives. If Madam doesn't like it, she must have a good talk with A Lang. You can leave like this, leaving A Lang alone.
So, isn’t that a little inappropriate?”
Qingrong was not an unreasonable person. She lowered her eyes and said nothing. She knew that Songyue was right. Now that she was married to him, even if it was not what she really expected, she should still give him enough.
It's only right that both sides behave decently.
Doing this on the first day of marriage is indeed not what she should do.
Just as she was thinking about how to ease the awkwardness between the two of them, Xue Shao had already ordered Yun Niang to come over.
Yun Niang was holding two snacks in her hand. She said with a smile: "Alang said that my wife had no appetite just now and didn't eat anything. He was afraid that she would be hungry, so he asked me to bring some snacks. Can you try it, please?"
Qingrong was slightly stunned, thinking of Xue Shao, he was more considerate than his bride. Qingrong nodded and said: "Let it go."
She took a look and saw that it was a golden cheese cake. She was fascinated by the snack, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the restaurant that day. Qingrong picked up a piece of golden cheese cake, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and took a bite. She
I have never tasted the food made in that restaurant, I have only tasted the food made at home. Although it tastes different from the food made at home, it is still just as good.
She was lost in silence, finished eating the piece in her hand, picked up another piece, and unknowingly ate two pieces. Yun Niang asked with a smile: "It seems that the lady really likes to eat. A Lang is really right."
It turned out that he mistakenly thought that she liked to eat this golden cheese cake. Although she didn't like it, she didn't expect that Xue Shao would notice this. The cake was full of cheese, and he ate two pieces in succession.
After knowing it, I felt greasy in my mouth.
Yun Niang was careful and handed Qingrong tea. Qingrong took it and took a sip. Feeling a little guilty, she lowered her eyes and asked, "What is Alang doing now?"
"Going to the study room."
Qingrong nodded, thinking that Xue Shao was busy with something important, so she didn't want to disturb him. This afternoon, Qingrong was not idle either. She also paid careful attention to the rules of this mansion and Lide Hall. She got married.
At that time, she also brought many maids from her family, so all the affairs in the courtyard needed to be rearranged. But she had just arrived, so she was not in a hurry to establish new rules, and decided to take it one step at a time.
In the next two days, she and Xue Shao were going to visit relatives and friends of the Xue family. When Qingrong greeted Lu this morning, she asked about the preferences and taboos of the Xue family's relatives. In the afternoon, she asked Yun Niang to pick out a few gifts.
Take it with you when you have a good time to visit.
The sun was setting in the west, and it was time for dinner.
Qingrong felt a little sorry about what happened at noon, so in the evening she sent A-Zhen to invite Xue Shao to have dinner with her. She was determined to have a good chat with Xue Shao and let him change this problem. He would never do this when he went out in the future.
Seeing Xue Shao coming, Qingrong asked someone to serve the food. She handed him the chopsticks and was thinking about how to speak.
Xue Shao asked her, "Do you have an appetite tonight?"
Qingrong smiled and nodded.
The two moved chopsticks, but Qingrong didn't eat. She saw Xue Shao take a bite. Qingrong felt a little guilty. She had never done anything to speak out about a person's bad habits, not to mention that this person was her husband. A Niang also felt guilty.
She had said that most of these men were soft-spoken rather than tough-minded, so she decided to make subtle remarks, "You seem to have a good appetite today."
Xue Shao hummed without raising his head.
Qingrong added: "I was weak in the past and had a bad spleen and stomach. My mother-in-law found a doctor for me. The doctor said that eating carefully and slowly is good for the spleen and stomach. If you eat so fast, you will hurt the spleen."
Xue Shao stopped and looked up at her, a little surprised. He didn't expect Qingrong to care about him. He said: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it. I live a rough life."
Qingrong was not discouraged, she continued: "If you are fine for a while, you can accompany me to finish this meal slowly, okay?"
Seeing her like this, Xue Shao was speechless and couldn't say no. But he didn't understand, "You want me to eat with you? Didn't you feel like you couldn't eat when you saw me at noon today?"
Qingrong was shocked, Azhen and Songyue were also frightened. Although the lady said she disliked her, she didn't seem to mean it. Songyue hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said: "Alang, what are you talking about? You really misunderstood the lady. She even called her that afternoon.
Azhen is going to Alang to have dinner, if that’s what you said, why bother?”
Qingrong lowered her head. Xue Shao looked at her, his eyes were direct and sharp, as if he could see through Qingrong. He said: "I know. I misunderstood." He seemed to understand why Qingrong was acting abnormally at noon.
Yes, it turned out that I disliked his poor eating habits.
Qingrong smiled at him, and Xue Shao said: "In the past, when I went on an expedition with my father and brother, it was common for me to eat and sleep in the open air, but I was not so particular about it. I ate some biscuits and biscuits at will. Sometimes the military situation was urgent, and I didn't care so much. I had to wolf it down. Time.
After a while, you’ll get used to it.”
His words silenced Qingrong's master and servant.
The soldiers fought in the field and fought bloody battlefields. The conditions were simple and difficult. How could those literati have the leisure and ease? The reason why we can live in peace now is because of their existence. Now I still want to criticize him for this. It is indeed unacceptable.
should.
Qingrong lowered her head and smiled in relief: "It's because I didn't think well. If you are used to it, then so be it."
"But you don't like it." Xue Shao knew that Qingrong didn't like him like this. "I will pay attention when I eat with you." After saying that, he followed Qingrong's advice as if he was afraid that Qingrong wouldn't believe it.
He looked like he was chewing and swallowing slowly to avoid making any noise.
Qingrong looked at his dark eyes, a little at a loss. She didn't know what to say, she just smiled and said, "Eat more vegetables."
After dinner, Qingrong went to the clean room and took a shower and freshened up. Xue Shao knew that Qingrong loved to be clean, so he went to wash up consciously.
When he returned to the room, he happened to see Qingrong's maid Songyue walking over with a bowl of steaming black soup.
He frowned and asked, "Is she feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why did she drink medicine?"
Seeing that it was Xue Shao, Songyue saluted quickly and explained with a smile: "Oh, so that Alang knows that this is the soup that the lady drinks every day to recuperate the body. The lady is weak and has been doing this for several days.
It’s been 20 years. It was supposed to be twice a day, but I was in a hurry this morning and it was delayed until now.”
Xue Shao nodded and warned: "Her medicine must be delivered on time from now on."
Songyue pursed her lips and snickered, then said, "My maid knows."
The two of them entered the room one after another. Qingrong had already taken off her hairpin and sat at the table. Xue Shao watched her finish the soup, and the maid also consciously stepped away, leaving him alone.
Xue Shao looked directly at Qingrong and said, "I've washed up."
There were only two people left, and the atmosphere was a bit delicate. Qingrong nodded, "Then let's rest."
Qingrong walked to the couch, and Xue Shao looked at her with bright eyes. When Qingrong saw Qingrong, her heart beat a beat unconsciously, but she didn't want to. Yesterday was a wedding, so she would agree. Today...
Xue Shao held Qingrong's hand. Qingrong broke away and smiled softly: "I drank the medicine and am a little tired. Let's go to bed early today. We have to go to my uncle's house tomorrow."
Her smile was magnanimous, and Xue Shao understood it and did not force her, but she had a sense of loss that Qingrong got out of bed and turned her back on her. Last night, she was not like this. She can't think about it anymore, Xue Shao secretly thought, if she thinks about it again,
, I’m afraid I won’t sleep tonight…
The lights in the room had been turned off, and only the sound of breathing could be heard. Qingrong was sleeping inside, with her back to Xue Shao. Even so, she could feel his burning eyes and heavy breathing.
She closed her eyes and ignored it, thinking about what she had to do in the past few days, and slowly fell asleep. She didn't even notice that the people around her were awake at night, so she got up and got off the bed.
