Chi Xingyue transmigrated, becoming a scullery maid in the Ling family, the richest family in Jiangnan. Her transmigration started with slave status, and 10 days later, the family would be raided a...
The light in the room was dim, and Ling Jiheng stopped reading.
After helping Chi Xingyue wash up simply and blowing out the candles, the two of them slipped into the space.
Chi Xingyue was a little uncomfortable at first when he suddenly went from a dim room to the bright and spacious village committee compound.
He closed his eyes for several seconds before opening them, lying down under the roses and sighing comfortably.
Ling Jiheng hadn't been in here for nearly a month. Feeling the warm and fresh air, he felt intoxicated.
He stretched his limbs, letting the spiritual energy soak into his skin. After a moment, he took off his cotton coat, which was in the way, and wandered under the grapevines in just his underwear.
Chi Xingyue felt that the loose clothes were an eyesore, so she asked him to go to the mall to pick out some suitable pajamas.
Last time, Ling Jiheng passed the imperial examination and unlocked the men's clothing on the third floor.
There are not only men's suits, down jackets, and short-sleeved shirts, but also sporting goods stores and outdoor goods stores.
The climbing rope, camping tent and high-intensity flashlight inside are very useful, but it is not convenient to take them out and show them off.
Ling Jiheng was obedient and came back soon on his electric scooter.
He didn't wear pajamas, but changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
It looks neat and tidy, except that the hair is tied up on the head, which looks a bit weird.
Chi Xingyue joked a few times and talked about Ling Jiren.
"Doctor Cheng said there's a cure, but the herbs are hard to find. I went to the mountains and only found two of them. If you have time, please help me find them!"
As he was talking, he began to yawn.
Seeing that she was tired, Ling Jiheng helped her back to the dormitory.
I took off her coat and saw her obviously bulging belly.
Ling Jiheng carefully placed his hand on his belly, but found that he could not feel anything except hardness.
I even asked stupidly, "Why aren't they moving?"
"Maybe it's not time yet!"
In fact, she did feel it, but it was very slight, so she didn't say anything.
Ling Jiheng felt a little regretful, but still caressed Chi Xingyue's belly gently and reluctantly.
As they touched each other, they both felt something. They looked at each other and understood each other's feelings.
Afterwards, Ling Jiheng wiped Chi Xingyue's body clean and tucked in the quilt.
After she fell asleep, I took the book "Encyclopedia of Chinese Herbal Medicine" and went up the mountain.
I don't know how long I searched before I found the three target medicinal herbs.
Gently dig it out and put it in the backpack.
He looked for the rest but couldn't find it.
Seeing that it was getting late, he hurried back on his electric scooter.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, he lay down on the folding bed next to Chi Xingyue to sleep.
He didn't know if it was because of the spiritual energy in the space, but he slept particularly soundly.
It breaks the biological clock that wakes up on time.
After Ling Jiheng got up, he first massaged Chi Xingyue's hands and feet, and then followed her out of the space.
A room with a fire wall is not cold, but it does not make the space comfortable and pleasant.
Ling Jiheng asked Erzhu to pour some water, washed his face briefly, and went to the kitchen to serve Chi Xingyue some rice.
The two of them ate a little and then went about their own business.
One reads and writes, and the other strolls in the yard, guiding Ling Jiren and Ling Jihao to paste Spring Festival couplets.
In the evening, the family had dinner and stayed up all night at Rongsiyuan.
The old man said that on the first day of the new year, we should burn incense to comfort our ancestors and ask everyone to not miss a good night's sleep.
The younger generations of Lingji nodded in agreement. The old lady took the lead in picking up her chopsticks, and then everyone started scrambling for food.
It looks very lively.
After dinner, the Ling family gathered together to play cards. The laughter made the maids on duty stand on tiptoe to watch.
Seeing this, the old lady waved her hand and told them to go back and rest.
The maids didn't dare to do so and chose to come over and help their masters count the peanuts.
When Chi Xingyue saw this, he burst out laughing.
It’s hard to say whether they are timid or brave.
The time spent playing always passes quickly, and it doesn’t feel like long before it’s midnight.
The sound of firecrackers popped all around, and some families even set off fireworks.
The Ling family spent a huge amount of money to buy more than a dozen fireworks this year. After the sound of firecrackers around them became smaller, they quickly lit them.
A group of people stood under the corridor, looking at the gorgeous fireworks with happy smiles on their faces.
The temperature is a bit low, and my hands and feet feel cold after just a short while.
The old lady hurriedly asked people to go back to the house to rest, but as soon as Chi Xingyue arrived at Qingfengyuan, small snowflakes started falling outside.
The cold snowflakes fell on her face, causing her to shiver.
Ling Jiheng quickened his pace and brought the person back to the house.
Without asking Baozhu and Erzhu to serve him, he blew out the oil lamp and entered the space with Chi Xingyue.
The two of them set the alarm tonight for fear of being late the next day.
As a result, I was preoccupied with something and got up before the alarm clock rang.
I was completely confused.
Chi Xingyue sat in front of the dressing table and let Baozhu tie her hair.
Outside the window, there were sounds of firecrackers one after another. I don’t know why everyone was so energetic that they got up and started playing before dawn.
Only after Baozhu said it was okay did Chi Xingyue go out, yawning.
After walking for a while, we arrived at Rongsiyuan and saw that everyone had already arrived.
Ling held a torch in one hand, waiting for the old man's order to light the community fire.
In the new year, the more prosperous the community fire, the more prosperous the life will be. It is a good omen.
In this way, the group of people watched the pine branches burn to embers before returning to the house to have breakfast.
Then move to Wenhua Courtyard, where ancestral tablets and Buddha statues are enshrined.
The old man went in first, burned incense and prayed, and then called his two grandsons in.
Place the imperial edict in front of the tablet and share the good news of the Ling family's advancement into a new class with all ancestors.
"Ancestors, have you seen how promising the descendants of our Ling family are?
Hahaha, who would have thought that I, at my age, would still have such an opportunity! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Xingyue caught a glimpse of the doorman coming in hurriedly, looking at the old man and seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
He tugged at Ling Jiheng's clothes and asked him to go and ask what happened.
Ling Jiheng nodded and called the servant aside.
The two whispered a few words, and the servant calmly left as if relieved.
When Ling Jiheng came back, Chi Xingyue asked quietly, "What's going on?"
Ling Jiheng glanced at her and shook his head, not wanting to say anything.
Chi Xingyue didn't get to the bottom of it.
After Ling Jiren and Ling Jihao finished offering incense, they went in with the others and bowed three times to the ancestors.
Of course, she was standing because she was pregnant. The others kowtowed three times.
After a group of people came out of Wenhua Courtyard, Ling Jiheng approached the old man and whispered about the situation at the gate.
The old man's face changed immediately and he hurried towards the door.
Seeing this, others hurried to follow.
Chi Xingyue wanted to go watch the fun, but Ling Jiheng grabbed her arm and kept her at the back, fearing that a fight might break out and hurt her stomach.
"What happened?" Chi Xingyue asked.
Ling Jiheng then revealed what the servant had reported: "A branch of the Ling family has come looking for us."
"Ah?" Chi Xingyue was confused and wondered where was his face?
We've already severed our relationship, how dare you come here to ask for money?
More importantly, how did they find their way here?
