Baoqing Pavilion's business was booming, and Tangli, the shopkeeper and accountant, became very busy.
Tangli was busy with a pile of accounts all day long, and it was dark when he got home every day.
It was not until a new accountant was hired that Tang Li felt relieved and was able to return home early.
Tomorrow is Wei Qing's day off, and he will be back tonight.
Thinking of this, Tang Li couldn't help but quicken his pace. His heart was filled with joy and anticipation, and his steps became lighter.
While walking through the market, a man was suddenly pushed out of a shop and fell at Tangli's feet.
"Our shop collects calligraphy and paintings, not any junk. Don't disturb us while we are doing business!" The shop owner pointed at the person who fell in front of Tang Li.
He was a teenager, about ten years old, tall and thin.
The boy stood up and said, "This isn't junk. It's a collection of calligraphy and paintings that my father has been collecting for a long time. They're all from famous artists. Take a look!"
As he spoke, he came up to the shopkeeper and spread out the painting in his hand.
The shopkeeper pushed him away and said, "Don't look at it. I've already seen it. It's just junk!"
"Please look again, I may not have seen it clearly just now!"
"If you don't leave, I'll have someone beat you up!"
The boy could only put away the painting and turn away disappointedly.
"How much do you want to sell this painting?" Tang Li asked.
The boy turned his head to look at her, and scanned her with his cunning eyes, as if to confirm her wealth.
"Ten taels of silver!"
"Okay, I'll buy it."
As Tang Li said this, she took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the boy, who then handed the painting to her.
The boy ran away with the silver, as if he was afraid that she would go back on her word.
"Girl, you've been cheated. How can this painting be sold for ten taels of silver? The signature is not from a famous artist, so it has no collection value. Look at the paper, it's all yellowed. It would be dirty even if you hang it on the wall. No one would want it even if you give it away!" said the shopkeeper.
Tang Li knew that he meant well, but she just felt compelled to buy it.
Based on the intuition of the Koi Clan, her decision will not be wrong.
"Boss, I just like this painting inexplicably. Love is priceless." Tang Li said with a smile.
"What you said may sound like nonsense at first, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully. Just like it."
Tang Li returned home, entered the bedroom, and spread out the painting.
The painting was of birds in the mountains and forests, and it was vivid. Tang Li liked it more and more as she looked at it. There happened to be a large empty space on the wall of the living room, so she found some tools and hung the painting on the wall.
Tangli hung up the rice and went into the kitchen.
"Ma'am, let me do it."
"No, I'll cook today." Tang Li's face flushed slightly. "Wei Qing will be back tonight."
She wanted to cook for her man herself, as he hadn't cooked for himself for a long time.
Aunt Zhao could also see what the lady was thinking, so she naturally didn't argue with her. Instead, she went to the stove to light a fire.
Wei Qing loves to eat meat, so Tangli bought a lot of meat from the market.
Tangli chopped the ribs, washed them, and put them in the stove, simmering them over low heat. Then he cut some radish pieces and threw them in when the ribs were almost cooked.
The pork belly is used to make braised pork and is cooked in a large pot.
However, I also made Erbao’s favorite minced meat and eggplant, Sanbao’s favorite stir-fried beef, and braised fish, a total of five dishes.
The fresh aroma of spare ribs mixed with the strong aroma of beef filled the kitchen with fragrance, and just the smell made people salivate.
Aunt Zhao resisted the urge to swallow her saliva, wondering, how could the Madam be so good at cooking? Compared to the Madam's cooking skills, the two young masters usually felt wronged when they had to eat the meals she cooked. She wanted to learn more, so she observed Tangli's cooking and secretly took note.
Five dishes were placed on the table.
According to the past, Wei Qing should be back by now.
But when the food was almost cold, Wei Qing still hadn't returned.
"Let's eat first." Tang Li said.
"Aren't you waiting for daddy?" Sanbao stretched his head to look at the door.
"Dad was delayed by something and will be back later. Let's eat first. I've left some food for him."
Tangli held Sanbao in his arms and held Erbao's hand. They sat down at the dining table and had dinner together.
Wei Qing didn't come back until dinner was over.
The two little rascals were originally going to wait together for Wei Qing to come back, but later on they couldn't hold on any longer and were stuffed into the quilt by Tang Li, who asked them to sleep.
After the two babies fell asleep, Tangli sat in the bedroom but did not sleep.
Why didn’t Wei Qing come back so late?
She had never had a bad dream, so Wei Qing should be fine.
However, Tangli still couldn't stop worrying.
When the moon was at its highest point in the sky, Tangli heard the noise of the gate, stood up and went out.
There were three knocks on the door. Tang Li quickly opened the door and saw a tall and majestic figure standing at the door.
The moonlight illuminated a sharp and resolute face. It was her man!
Tang Li stretched out her hands, hugged the man's waist tightly, put her face on his hard chest, and felt the strong heartbeat. The worry in her heart finally dissipated!
Wei Qing quickly hugged back.
Looking at the soft little wife in his arms, Wei Qing grinned.
The daughter-in-law throws herself into my arms!
I haven’t seen my wife for almost half a month. I really miss her!
My wife is still awake so late. Is she waiting for him?
Wei Qing felt both touched and distressed.
He picked up his young wife with one arm, closed the door with the other arm, and quietly carried her into the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Tangli came back to her senses, feeling a little shy, with her little face flushed red.
She wanted to get down, but the man held her waist tightly, his arms were like iron arms, and she couldn't move at all.
Wei Qing sat down and let his young wife sit on his lap. His tiger eyes flashed with brilliance as he stared at his young wife intently.
"Wife, I'm hungry."
"I'll go heat up the food for you!"
"Wife, I don't want to eat that dish. I want to eat..."
As the man spoke, he kissed her like a hungry wolf.
Wait until Wei Qing is full...
Cuckoo.
I am full here, but still hungry there.
"I'll go heat up some food for you..."
"I'll go by myself!"
Wei Qing couldn't bear to see his wife working so hard, so he went to do the work himself.
Wei Qing filled his stomach, took a quick cold shower, walked into the room with his body full of moisture, and held his wife in his arms again.
Tangli was completely embraced by the tall man, and the two were talking in private.
"Why are you back so late today?"
"I went to the county to do something for Mr. Xie, and I got back a little late."
"How did you get there?"
"On horseback."
"Can you ride a horse?"
"Hey, that's easy. You can learn it in no time. But it's a bit far, and the saddle is quite tiring."
"Ah, does that hurt?"
"How about you, wife, help me take a look?" The man's eyes rolled around cunningly.
And he has no good intentions.
Tangli ignored him and went to sleep.
Wei Qing held his wife in his arms, a look of satisfaction on his face.
