Chapter 25: The Crow Still Dislikes the Wild Boar
Qi Huaijing was delighted to see that Chen Tang was able to send the servants away on his own.
Chen Tang felt a little empty inside, unhappy, and didn't eat much.
Looking at her like that, Qi Huaijing sighed and called the maid again.
"Go ask the kitchen if they have any fat crabs today. If they do, have them steamed and bring a plate of them over. I want the ones with round navels, with some ginger vinegar."
As soon as Chen Tang heard it, he knew that he wanted it for himself, and hurriedly stopped him.
"Forget it, there's no need to take it. There are already so many dishes today, and two more people can't finish them. Let's eat crabs tonight."
"Crabs are cold in nature, so they are not good to eat at night. Ask the kitchen to heat up some rice wine to reduce the coldness."
"We can eat tomorrow."
"There will be food tomorrow, so how can we be careless about eating?"
Chen Tang smiled helplessly. When it came to eating, he was indeed not careless at all.
"Well... I just heard from the servants that there is fresh venison today. Would you like to eat some? If you like, ask someone to bring some more."
Qi Huaijing pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled.
"As for the venison... I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll save it for dinner so I can sleep better."
Chen Tang didn't understand his hint and nodded in agreement.
Halfway through lunch, the kitchen really delivered crabs and added two new dishes.
Chen Tang saw this and teased him with a smile.
"Look, it seems you scared the kitchen staff a few days ago. Today, you only ordered one dish, but they sent three."
The maid who served the dishes stood aside and answered.
"To Third Auntie, this is not a gift from the kitchen. Madam heard that Master wanted crabs, and guessed that he would drink wine, so she ordered people to make two more dishes for Master to eat with wine."
As expected, Madam Yue had been staring at Wutong Garden, but not only did she not guess correctly, Qi Huaijing didn't even bother to look at her and just waved at the maid who was serving the dishes.
"Leave the crabs here, and take the rest to eat."
The little maids were overjoyed and thanked for the reward and left.
Chen Tang looked at his disgusted expression, smiled and shook his head, unable to help but sigh with emotion.
Mrs. Yue dotes on her youngest son, taking care of him in every detail, and giving him three times what he asks for. This has always been her style.
But this young man is the least grateful.
The autumn wind was just beginning to blow, and the crabs were plump. Chen Tang really liked to eat them, but he was not very good at opening them, so he asked the maid to help him.
Qi Huaijing waved his hand, put down his chopsticks, washed his hands with chrysanthemum petal water, and personally opened the crab for her.
Seeing that he was wearing a brand new brocade robe with cloud patterns, Chen Tang hurriedly stopped him.
"The room is full of maids, let them do it. You have to go out in the afternoon, so don't get involved."
"No. They are too clumsy to do it."
The maids who were serving him had smiles on their faces, but they were thinking in their hearts that it was obviously this master who wanted to show his courtesy, and it was their fault for being stupid.
He was indeed efficient, and quickly opened a shell of crab roe and crab meat, poured ginger vinegar, and handed it to Chen Tang.
Shen Tang took it with a smile and thanked him softly.
"Thank you, husband."
"Oh, you're so polite."
Qi Huaijing said you're welcome, but he smiled contentedly and started peeling another one.
"My dear husband, I have already enjoyed your kindness. Just let the maids do it. Don't delay your meal."
"Why are you in such a hurry? The food won't run away."
Chen Tang: “…”
She couldn't stop him. Qi Huaijing finally peeled a few crab shells himself and fed her a few cups of warm rice wine before continuing to eat.
Chen Tang had almost finished eating, and now he was a little full from feeding her so much that she sat sideways with her chin in her hand, watching him eat.
As she looked at him, a new idea suddenly came into her mind, and she couldn't help but look him up and down.
Qi Huaijing had noticed it a long time ago.
"What are you looking at?"
Shen Tang told him openly.
"Look at you, husband. I suddenly feel that you and my wife are...very similar."
He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? I haven't heard many people say that. They all say that my mother and I don't look alike."
Qi Huaijing has outstanding looks. It is said that he takes after his grandmother from the Yue family and also looks like his uncle who died early.
Although Mrs. Yue is middle-aged, you can tell that she was a beauty when she was young, but she looks more like Mr. Yue, with rounder eyebrows and eyes, not as handsome.
Chen Tang smiled and didn't say anything, just told him to eat well.
Qi Huaijing and Madam Yue don't look that similar, and their tempers are far different, but look at how this mother and son treat their loved ones...
same.
Mrs. Yue doted on her son, pampering him in every way and giving him three times what he asked for. Everyone knew it.
What Qi Huaijing hated most in his life was his mother's unrestrained love for him, and he always wanted to go against her.
But now, he has married his sweetheart and has become very unrestrained in his pampering of her.
As long as he could, as long as Chen Tang wanted it, he would give it to her. Even if Chen Tang didn't want it, he would still give it to her... Even if she said she didn't want it anymore, he still insisted on giving it to her.
Chen Tang secretly complained in his heart, this guy also behaves like this in bed.
The crow thinks the wild boar is too black.
In fact, the personalities of mother and son are exactly alike!
Chen Tang just thought so, but didn't tell him, firstly, he didn't want to delay his meal, and secondly...
If he told him this, he would probably scold her like Madam Yue did, thinking that she really didn't know what was good or bad.
So she just smiled and said nothing.
After he finished his meal, rinsed his mouth and drank tea, he sent everyone out. Then the two of them lay on the bed, holding hands and playing.
Chen Tang ate too much and felt a little sleepy, but he was still thinking about the maid. He pinched Qi Huaijing's clothes and started arguing with him again.
"... He was really a slick bully. He only used words to trick Huaping into working for him late at night. The silly girl was so sleepy that she fell asleep during the day..."
Qi Huaijing covered her mouth lightly.
"I'll know once you tell me, why are you still thinking about it?"
"I'm still a little undecided, so...is this okay?"
"Why not? You are the master. If you were in someone else's yard, you would be beaten or killed."
“…”
As expected, he is more ruthless.
Qi Huaijing held her in his arms and patted her gently.
"I don't want you to fight with my sister-in-law for that damn right of housekeeper, that's why... You're being made to do things for nothing, and they still think you're a fool!"
Shen Tang retorted with a yawn.
“This is always different…”
Seeing that she was getting sleepy, Qi Huaijing covered her mouth again.
"Go to sleep, don't worry about it, I know what's going on."
He pulled his belt out of her hand and kissed her again.
"It's getting late, and I have work to do in the shop. I have to go out."
Chen Tang nodded, he got up and put on his coat, and before leaving, he turned back to remind her.
"Don't forget, we'll have venison tonight."
Chen Tang was so sleepy that his eyes were hazy, and he responded softly.
"……knew."
