Chapter 130 Something Happened
Seeing Chen's disappointed look, Qu Zhiwen reached out and patted the back of her hand, "I know you are thinking about the children, but the children are eager to study and make progress, just like young eagles leaving the nest, they will eventually fly on their own. If they are trapped in the nest, it will harm them instead."
"I know." Chen nodded vigorously.
Parents who love their children will always plan for them in the long run.
The master is right, she really can't be too shallow.
"Master is right. I should support Yuan'er and Wu'er. Let's not talk about this matter anymore." Chen smiled.
"That's right." Qu Zhiwen nodded. "Besides, those two brats are not young anymore. In a few years, they will have to start a family and start a career. By then, they will have truly left home."
"Madam, instead of worrying about those two brats, you should worry more about your husband. After all, I will be the one accompanying you for the next few decades, right?"
"Speaking of which, Madam has been lazy these days. The shoes on my feet are old and look terrible. I wonder if I can receive new shoes made by Madam herself for my birthday this time?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing Qu Zhiwen talking nonsense here, Chen said unhappily, "Just tell me, everything on you was made by me myself, in different ways. And you still complain that I'm lazy. You're really getting greedy."
"How can I not be greedy in front of my wife?" Qu Zhiwen moved closer to Chen, "I'm afraid I will be greedy for many years to come."
"Glib mouth!"
Seeing Qiuyue and the others giggling, Chen blushed, "You old frivolous fellow, hurry up and eat some food and shut up!"
As she spoke, Chen took a spoon and transferred half of the plate of Kung Pao Chicken into Qu Zhiwen's bowl.
Qu Zhiwen did not refuse. He ate whatever Chen gave him.
The dinner ended with the couple joking and laughing.
Because Qu Zhiwen wanted new shoes, Chen thought of making him a new set of summer clothes. After dinner, she went to the warehouse to look through the various fabrics she had stored away so that she could pick out the right ones.
At the same time, he ordered Qiuyue to find the pattern of shoes that she had put away.
Qu Zhiwen watched Chen busying herself and secretly called Qiuyue aside.
"How is your day, ma'am?"
"Master, Madam has done nothing wrong recently, and she has not had any suspicions." Qiuyue answered truthfully and bowed, "Master, rest assured, we will follow your instructions and serve Madam wholeheartedly."
"Yes." Qu Zhiwen nodded, "You are a loyal and hardworking person. I am relieved."
Seeing that Qu Zhiwen recognized her, Qiuyue was quite relieved and asked again, "Master, those soups and medicines...are you still letting Madam drink them?"
"Since it tastes good, just keep drinking it." Qu Zhiwen sighed.
"Yes." Qiuyue nodded, "I will tell someone to boil the medicine right away."
"Go ahead."
Qu Zhiwen stood in the yard for a long time before going to the study.
I waited until it got dark before returning to my bedroom.
Chen had finished washing and was combing her hair in front of the mirror.
The maid let down Chen's hair which was tied up during the day and applied some osmanthus oil on it.
Chen's hair was originally black and thick, and now it was let down and fell to her waist like a waterfall.
When Qu Zhiwen saw this scene, his heart tightened involuntarily.
Qiuyue came in with a bowl in hand, "Madam, the tranquilizer is ready, drink it while it's hot."
Looking at the dark bitter medicine soup in the bowl, Chen frowned, "I have been sleeping quite well these days, so I don't need to drink this tranquilizer."
"You are being childish again. How can you just not drink the medicine prescribed by the doctor? Besides, this tranquilizer is meant for long-term conditioning. How can you stop drinking it just because you feel better, and drink it again in a hurry if you don't want to drink it?"
Qu Zhiwen took the bowl and said, "Be obedient and drink it quickly."
Qiuyue also hurriedly brought over some candied fruit, preparing for Chen to put one in her mouth after drinking the medicine to soothe the bitterness in her mouth.
Seeing this, Chen could only take the bowl, suppress the churning in her stomach, and gulp down the extremely bitter medicine. After drinking it, she quickly put a candied fruit in her mouth, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Wait until the bitterness in your mouth has almost subsided before you rinse your mouth and lie down on the bed.
Because of drinking the medicine, Chen felt sleepy very quickly and soon fell into a deep sleep.
After seeing Chen fell asleep, Qu Zhiwen tucked in the corner of the quilt for her and then closed his eyes. ——During the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Su Yujin got up early in the morning and started to get busy.
Steamed eggs, steamed salted duck eggs, steamed garlic...
After putting all these things on the steamer, Su Yujin pulled Ai Cao, Qing Kui, Shui Xing and others to start making rice dumplings.
Sweet glutinous rice dumplings with candied dates and raisins, salty pork dumplings with pork belly and salted egg yolks, and pure white dumplings made with nothing but pure glutinous rice, cooked, and then eaten with sugar...
Zongzi were wrapped one by one and cooked in pots. The rich aroma of zongzi wafted through the entire backyard of the government office.
Naturally, the aroma of the rice dumplings is also mixed with the rich smell of steamed garlic.
The Dragon Boat Festival is the season when all five poisons come out. According to the customs of some places, people should eat some detoxifying foods. Garlic, as a detoxifying and sterilizing food and a specialty in some places, has become a symbolic food of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The steamed garlic does not feel spicy when you eat it. On the contrary, it is very delicious because of its soft and glutinous texture and slightly sweet taste. Once you start eating it, it is like being addicted and you can't stop.
Although the appetite was greatly satisfied, the breath became extremely strong.
As soon as you open your mouth, you can smell the garlic smell which is much stronger than raw garlic and more lethal from almost a few meters away. However, people who eat this kind of garlic can't smell anything, but people who don't eat steamed garlic...
It was for this main reason that Su Yujin joined the group of people who ate steamed garlic with mugwort and green sunflower.
Su Yujin sent a lot of steamed eggs, steamed salted eggs and various rice dumplings to Chen and Kang respectively. The rest, except for those for the people in the courtyard, were packed up and prepared to be taken to He Yanxiu when Qu Zhiwen went into the mountains later.
He Yanxiu had been gone for several days, so the meals must have been simple, such as rice dumplings and salted duck eggs, which could help him satisfy his cravings.
While I was busy, Qu Zhiwen came hurriedly.
"It just so happens that Magistrate Qu is here. We have just cooked and packed the dumplings. You can take them away now. They are just cooked and we want them to taste good, so we added some of the soup from cooking them. The mountain road is bumpy all the way here, so you need to be careful not to get burned."
The rice dumplings are stored in a deep-mouthed earthenware jar, which has a good heat-preserving effect.
"Miss Su." Qu Zhiwen wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm afraid we can't take care of delivering the rice dumplings to the mountain now. Miss Su, you'd better come with me into the mountain. Something happened to Lord He..."
I almost thought I couldn't catch up, life and death speed...o(╥﹏╥)o (End of this chapter)
