Cheng Xue and Li Yue arranged their clothes, adjusted themselves, and went to the front yard hand in hand.
She could smell the burning aroma of barbecue even far away. Cheng Xue patted the back of her hand and whispered to comfort her:
"Don't be afraid. Just answer whatever you ask. As long as you behave appropriately, you won't be held accountable."
"Well, my daughter knows." Li Yue nodded heavily, but he was still nervous and panicked.
Dexi opened the curtain and pushed the door open, and then the mother and daughter entered the room.
After some salutes, I didn't get the "flat body" I imagined, but instead got quiet, especially quiet.
Cheng Xue and Li Yue didn't know why, but they didn't dare to raise their heads or glance around. They could only kneel down and wait quietly for the next order.
For a moment, Li Hui couldn't sit still. Just when he was about to speak, he was kicked under the table by Zhou Fang beside him.
He knew he shouldn't remind her at this time, but the person kneeling on her knees was his own wife, and he really felt sorry for her.
Finally, Yan Jing couldn't stand it any longer, so he took a wine flask and symbolically added a little bit to the eighty-full glass in front of his father.
Such an action finally brought Yan Yunchen back to his senses.
He cleared his throat awkwardly, said "flat" and then said:
"When I first met Mrs. Li, I couldn't help but think of an old friend. I wonder where Mrs. Li's natal family is from?"
"Back to the Emperor, my wife's natal home is Yujiatun, Shushan County, Liaodong."
Both she and Li Hui had guessed the origin of this body, but now they were taking it one step at a time. If that man really wanted to help find her, then she would simply accept this wave of wealth and help her man expand his network.
.If people don’t have that intention, it doesn’t matter to her. Her current life is the best and she is very content.
When Xiao Qinglin heard the word "old friend" he said, he finally said "Ah" in realization and said:
"No wonder Jiang Lizheng asked me if I was from my sister-in-law's family when she first spoke to me. There seemed to be some resemblance between our facial features."
He always said something in front of Yan Yunchen, but now Cheng Xue couldn't stand what he said. She never expected that he could clarify what he said, so how could she accept it?
There is also Li Hui, who reacts very quickly——
"Hun said, if you want to say that they look alike, they have to be from my Tiantian. Don't just try to get close to me just for the sake of coming to my house for dinner."
"I don't have it, brother, I...don't I just want to eat stewed river fish again!"
"I know you are a cat, so I will make it for you next time." After Li Hui finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a drink.
Yan Yunchen put down his wine glass and said to Cheng Xue and his daughter:
"I heard that your mother and daughter marinated this lamb chop. It tastes great. Thank you for your hard work."
The two of them saluted together, and Cheng Xue said calmly:
"Thank you for the compliment. You like it more than anything else. I will write down the pickling method later so that you can eat it at any time."
"Okay, you are determined."
Cheng Xue smiled and shook her head. Seeing that it was almost done, she took Li Yue and left the room.
After walking a long distance from the front yard, Li Yue finally regained her energy.
"Mom, the one in the palace doesn't look scary, but I'm really worried."
"Don't be afraid, you've been praised, and the reward will definitely be great. You and Yixin can stay here tonight, and I'll have your yard cleaned out again."
Li Yue nodded hurriedly, held her arm with a smile, and said:
"It would be better if I could sleep with my mother."
"That's no longer possible. You should just stay with your husband."
The mother and daughter returned to the main courtyard talking and laughing, and the banquet in the front yard was still going on. Just when Cheng Xue was about to rest with Li Yue, Bai Wei came in from outside.
"Madam, eldest lady, the reward from the palace has arrived."
"So fast?" Cheng Xue was shocked.
She thought it would be delivered after the morning meeting tomorrow, but she didn't expect it to be delivered now.
"Is it a lot? Is it expensive?" After saying that, I felt a bit philistine and couldn't find anything to say, "I can't accept it if it's expensive. It's just a meal, and the ingredients are sent by the palace."
It’s not that she is greedy for money, it’s just that she needs too much money in the early stage to form a women’s medical team. Even though she has several shops in the capital, the prices here are too high. The same astragalus is more expensive in the capital than in the north.
More than five times.
Transporting it from there to here requires carriages, horses, and manpower, which is very expensive, and it will sink while carrying it on your back.
I got up and prepared to go out to take a look at the last time. Unexpectedly, a father-in-law came directly in with a tray covered with red cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.
"Greetings to Mrs. Li, I will give you and Grandma Yan a reward according to the master's will."
After saying that, Fuyong placed the tray on the table, then stood aside politely, staring at the mother and daughter without blinking.
Seeing that he hadn't left, Cheng Xue said to Bai Wei:
"Go and serve tea to this father-in-law."
"yes."
"No, no, no, I'm not thirsty." Fu Yong shook his head, bowed his hands and said, "Please Madam Li, please open it and have a look, so I can go back and recover."
Cheng Xue nodded when she heard this and raised her hand to lift the red cloth. After reading it, Li Yue said excitedly "This is..." and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands.
So, what else does Cheng Xue don't understand? No wonder the front yard has not been cleared, probably just waiting for this moment. But what is his mind? How could this thing appear in the palace?
Li Yue knew that she had just lost her composure, but now that the jewelry her mother had pawned off several years ago was lost and recovered, it was impossible for her not to be excited.
The performance of the mother and daughter was watched closely by Fu Yong. He didn't know what was going on, but he understood that the two old things sent by the master should be related to Mrs. Li.
Could it be something used by children...
Just as he was thinking wildly, Cheng Xue stood up to tidy up her clothes and glanced at Bai Wei, who quickly came over to pick up the tray.
"Tangtang will go back to the hospital to rest first, and I'll go to the front."
"I got it, mother." Li Yue beat a drum in her heart and sent her mother to the front yard before returning to her own yard.
He entered the inner room with dull eyes, and because he was so absorbed in his thoughts, he didn't realize that there was already a man sitting on the kang in the room.
"What's wrong? Why are you so preoccupied with your thoughts?"
Yan Yixin's voice made her tremble, and then she saw that she had returned to the room, sat down and shook her head.
"It's like this and you still say 'nothing'? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Faced with her husband's teasing, Li Yue hurriedly said:
"The reason I shake my head is not that it's okay, but that I...I don't know how to tell you."
"Can't you say it? Then don't say it." Yan Yixin waved his hands disapprovingly, changed the subject and asked, "Are you and my mother full? Do you want Du Juan to make you something to eat?"
From the way the emperor saw his mother-in-law just now, it is clear that she and her mother-in-law should be familiar with each other, or know each other.
My mother-in-law has been lost since she was a child. Could she be the emperor’s sister who was left among the people?
He has this idea. Li Yue is not stupid and would also have this guess. Instead of just thinking about it alone, it is better for them to discuss it together. After all, he is the son-in-law of the Li family first and the person she spends her life with...
