Chapter 3226 Diet (Update)
The next day, everyone in the main courtyard slept late, from top to bottom!
Xibing and Jiuyue opened their eyes and saw the light coming in through the window, and immediately got out of bed.
Wu Yue, who had come over, was speechless for a long while. She lowered her voice and scolded them, "It's so late and you're still sleeping. Fortunately, Aunt Liu is not here, otherwise I would skin you alive."
He looked towards the main room again and found no movement, so he breathed a sigh of relief. "Master and Madam haven't gotten up yet. Why don't you guys wash up and go to the kitchen to get some hot water?"
Xibing scratched his head and said, "They shouldn't have woken up so early. There was movement in the room at three o'clock last night."
When May heard this, she turned around and left, "I'll go stop the young lady, you guys hurry up and get yourselves ready."
Little Bai Jingxing, who went to bed early and got up early, had already put on her clothes with the help of her maid. She jumped off the couch and ran to find her mother.
But before she even entered the yard, Wu Yue stopped her and said, "My dear, have you woken up and paid your respects to your grandmother and aunt?"
Bai Jingxing asked, "Aren't you going to ask mother to go with you?"
"Grandmother and auntie are in the same courtyard with you. When you wake up, you can go and greet them first, and then come and find your wife."
"No, I want to be with Mom," Bai Jingxing said seriously, "Daddy told me before he left that I should be obedient and take care of Mom when he's not at home."
After saying that, he walked around May and into the yard.
Wu Yue picked her up and said, "The master has returned. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Let's go take care of grandma and aunt first."
Little Bai Jingxing's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Daddy is back? I want to go find Daddy!"
"Big sister," Zheng's voice sounded not far away.
Little Bai Jingxing turned her head and saw her grandmother standing not far away, smiling at her. When she saw her looking over, she waved at her, "Come here quickly. Your aunt made glutinous rice balls today. There's only one small plate."
Bai Jingxing immediately slipped out of Wu Yue's arms and ran towards his grandmother, "Can I have some glutinous rice balls?"
Zheng smiled and said, "You can have a piece."
"I want two pieces."
"It's only five dollars in total. If you eat two, we won't have any left."
Bai Jingxing looked regretful, clasping his two chubby little hands together and asked nervously, "Can I eat the syrup on the plate?"
Zheng took her little hand and said with a smile: "I can give you half."
Bai Jingxing instantly forgot about his parents, and happily took his grandmother's hand and skipped to the kitchen.
The glutinous rice balls were made yesterday evening. Xiao Qian beat them again today, took them out, cut them into strips, and fried them directly in the oil pan.
The glutinous rice balls she fried were golden and crispy. She scooped them out, drained the oil, and placed them on a plate. She sprinkled them with fried and ground bean powder and poured the syrup she had cooked on them. A sweet aroma filled the air.
Little Bai Jingxing stood on tiptoe, put his hands on the stove, and looked at it with seriousness, his big eyes blinking like Zhou Man.
Seeing this, Xiao Qian felt so soft-hearted that she put down the pot and brought the plate down to show her.
Bai Jingxing swallowed and asked in a low voice, "Aunt, can I have two pieces?"
"No," Xiao Qian patted her little head and said, "Your mother said that if you eat too much of this, you won't be able to digest it, so you can only eat one piece at a time."
"I saw my mother eat two pieces last time. When can I eat two pieces like her?"
"Wait until you grow up."
Bai Jingxing once again looked forward to growing up.
After carefully comparing the five glutinous rice balls on the plate, little Bai Jingxing chose the one she thought was the largest to give to Xiao Qianshi, and then chose a relatively large one to give to her grandmother. As for the remaining three, she weighed them for a long time and chose one hesitantly.
May put the piece she chose in her bowl and watched her put the spoon in it, then tilt her head to bite it, and the corners of her mouth were inevitably stained with syrup.
Zheng felt so soft-hearted when she saw this that she really wanted to give her the glutinous rice balls in her bowl, but thinking of Zhou Man's instructions, she could only bear it. Well, children's stomachs are not like adults', so it's better for her to eat less.
But the way children eat is really beautiful.
Zheng and Xiao Qian were thankful, saying, "Luckily, our in-laws came along. This child's taste is just like Manbao's. The cooks at home can't make these things taste that good."
Xiao Qian was also very satisfied, "As long as they are happy to eat, that's fine."
When Zhou Man and Bai Shan woke up, it was already noon. Little Bai Jingxing had just returned from playing in the garden and was still staring at the two remaining glutinous rice balls on the plate.
Seeing her parents arriving late, she immediately ran over to greet them.
She threw herself into her father's arms, looking up at him with her little head tilted back, "Daddy, is it time for lunch? My aunt made glutinous rice balls today. Don't you like them? Otherwise, I'll eat them for you."
Bai Shan held her in his arms, touched her nose and said with a smile: "Daddy likes to eat it, I'll give you a bite later."
Bai Jingxing was very satisfied. He hugged his neck and thanked him loudly: "Thank you, Dad!"
Zhou Man didn't stop him. The servants brought out the breakfast. Zheng had someone take the glutinous rice balls away and reheat them. Then she looked at Bai Shan and asked, "When did you come back last night?"
"I got back very late. Oh, Governor Liu is at the post station." Bai Shan then remembered his superior. He patted his head and said to Zhou Man, "I won't be back for lunch."
They entered the city after the city gates were closed. Governor Liu directly used his privilege to enter the city through the small gate.
Zhou Man nodded and ate slowly.
Bai Shan couldn't help but look at her. "Prefect Liu has never been to Beihai County. This is his first time. He will probably ask about the Medical Department."
Zhou Man said, "Zheng Gu is on duty at the Medical Department today. You forgot, today is a day off. I'm taking a day off."
She said, "Let's wait until he really goes there. The hospital is not far away. I will go there then."
What if he doesn't go, won't she have to wait in the hospital for a whole day in vain?
Bai Shan thought about it and said, "Then I'll keep an eye on him. If he goes there, I'll send someone back to tell you in advance."
Zhou Man agreed.
So Zhou Man stayed at home to rest. No one came to see her until the afternoon. She thought that Governor Liu would not look for her today, so she changed into lighter clothes, took her daughter's hand and said, "Come on, Mom will take you to the street to play."
Bai Jingxing immediately put his toys into the box, pushed it towards Wu Yue, took his mother's hand and left.
The mother and daughter went out with great joy on their faces, but just as they walked out of the alley and onto the street, a fast horse came galloping down the street. People on the road hurriedly moved to the sides, and there was a chaos.
Zhou Man narrowed her eyes and rode her horse towards them. She pulled Bai Jingxing behind her. Daji stepped forward and squinted his eyes. He recognized the person and said, "Madam, this looks like the guard following Lord Tang."
The guard came galloping over, but before he reached Zhou Man, he reined in his horse and jumped off without waiting for it to stop. He ran up to him, knelt down and said, "Master Zhou, our master has been assassinated. Please save him."
