Chapter 246 Correspondence
246 correspondence
The servants of Qinghua Courtyard were carefully selected by Cui Xi and Cui Lian, and the old servant of Hou Mansion, Mama Lin. Anyone who had the slightest relationship with Jinhua Hall or Qiuhua Courtyard was excluded, and those who were left were all born in Hou Mansion. After strict training, all of them were smart and loyal to Qinghua Courtyard. If there was any movement of the masters in the courtyard, it was absolutely forbidden for outsiders to know. As a result, Meimei and Xu Junying made a scene in the upper room all night, and except for the courtyard itself, no one else in Hou Mansion noticed it at all.
At the breakfast table, Xu Junying looked at Meimei and smiled. Meimei blushed, lowered her head and turned sideways with her bowl in her hand, not looking at him. Xu Junying said to Henger:
"Your mother didn't want to sleep in and get up to have breakfast with us father and son. Don't you feel honored?"
Heng'er nodded seriously as if he understood, and with rice grains in his mouth, he made a few random "hmm" sounds in response.
Cui Si next to her couldn't help but chuckle. Mei Mei said, "Who wants to accompany you? I'm just hungry."
Cuisi changed Heng'er's scarf that was soaked by the soup and stepped back. Xu Junying said to Meimei:
"What is the character of the woman you and Lao Liu saw? I heard that Luo's cousin is very gentle and good-looking."
"Miss Liu is similar to me, she is Luo's cousin, her temperament is like Zhuang's cousin, but she is prettier than Zhuang's cousin."
Meimei added a spoonful of porridge to Heng'er's empty wooden bowl, and then, at his request, gave him two slices of spicy cabbage washed with boiling water, which made Xu Junying stare:
"So hot - how can Miss Liu be similar to you? You are unique, no one can be similar to you."
Meimei smiled: "She is also strong-willed, she doesn't wait or rely on others, she is a very independent girl."
Xu Junying shook his head: "One such girl is enough for our family, let's find a gentle and docile one for the sixth child."
Meimei looked over, and Xu Junying said hurriedly: "What I mean is, be gentle and submissive in front of the old lady, and let her serve the old lady well."
He lowered his voice and said, "Just be gentle to me, and don't worry if you are fierce to anyone outside."
Meimei stared at him, and Xu Junying stretched out a finger to pluck Heng'er's bulging cheeks beside him: "Heng'er, tell me, is this true?"
Heng Er nodded seriously again: "Yeah."
Xu Junying smiled proudly: "He can nod. I taught him that."
Meimei teased Henger with a smile: "Call me daddy"
Heng Er swallowed the food in his mouth and called to Xu Junying: "Hu Ji"
Meimei smiled and said, "You taught him this when you came back. I heard that most Hu Ji are beauties."
Xu Junying pinched Heng'er's chin helplessly: "How did father become Hu Ji?"
The whole family laughed and continued to eat. Meimei said, "If the old lady agrees, the sixth son will have to marry Luo's cousin."
Xu Junying sighed and said, "Last night, the sixth son had already agreed to the marriage proposal, and the old lady was willing to get up and eat some food, saying that she would make the final decision after the festival..."
Meimei snorted coldly: "You must have helped the old lady to persuade her, right? Look, this is your old lady. How can she die? She won't be satisfied unless she controls all of you grandchildren. No, Lao Liu doesn't like the girl from the Luo family at all. Why should he wrong himself just to obey the old lady?"
She frowned, "It was Xu Xiaojuan who pissed off the old lady first, and then I couldn't help but add fuel to the fire. The old lady fainted from rage, and called you and Lao Liu to take advantage of the situation... Very good, the people in the Xu family are not simple. In this case, I will also play a trick. Lao Liu was forced to accept the marriage because of me, so I will help him untie this shackle."
Xu Junying looked at her and said, "You have to be smarter than the old lady and not let her find out. Otherwise, don't play with her anymore. You've made her angry again. I haven't done anything yet, but you're the first to make trouble with me."
Is this making fun of her for being the first to complain last night?
Meimei was embarrassed and annoyed: "Xu Junying"
Heng'er had just finished his meal, and he took a long breath, tapped the bowl with his silver spoon, grinned, and shouted:
"Aying, Aying, Aying"
The two adults were stunned. Xu Junying glared at him with a stern face: "How dare you..."
Heng'er saw his father's expression change and took a breath: "Hu Ji..."
Meimei stood up from the table, covered her stomach and ran back to the inner room, where she leaned over the table and laughed uncontrollably.
Xu Junying called the maid in to clean the table. When Xia Lian took Heng'er away, he followed in, smiled and hugged Meimei in his arms:
"You taught my son well"
"Isn't it cute?"
Xu Junying stroked her hair, his eyes flickering: "Well... he is smart, lively, and active. In fact, he is very much like Lao Qi. Lao Qi was like this when he was a child."
Meimei put her hand on his chest: "This is the nature of children. Wasn't you like this when you were a child?"
"They said I seldom spoke and didn't like to laugh when I was little."
After a moment of silence, Meimei said softly, "Do you want to have a child who is as boring as you?"
Xu Junying held his breath and held her face: "Meimei...we..."
"Three Years Later"
The burning sparks in Xu Junying's eyes went out, and he pressed her head into his arms: "Torture me again"
Meimei struggled out with a smile: "I'll help you change into your official uniform, you're late today"
"It doesn't matter if I don't go to court today, I'll just do some work in the government office."
As he spoke, Xu Junying kept working. He took off his outer robe and looked at the copper kettle hourglass on the cabinet. At this time in the past, he would have been in the yamen.
Meimei took out the official uniform and put it on him. She arranged it, fastened the jade belt, and checked him from head to toe. She pulled him and said, "Come, look in the mirror."
Xu Junying chuckled: "No, yours is a magic mirror."
"Don't dare to take a photo? Then do you admit that you are a demon?"
"Why don't you say I'm a god? I'll take you in, little demon."
"I am not a demon, I am a fairy"
"That's right, the immortal family..."
The couple hugged each other, reluctant to separate, whispering, Xu Junying whispered in Meimei's ear: "I won't be back so early this afternoon, I'll be back before dinner to take you and Heng'er to Jinhua Hall for dinner, the old lady said last night..."
"Just say I'm sick and can't go."
"If you're not going, then don't go. Why do you want to curse yourself to be sick? But why don't you show up tonight? Tomorrow is August 15th. My husband and I have to go to the palace to spend the holiday with the Emperor and Empress. So tonight the Xu family will have a reunion dinner. You can be absent on weekdays, but it doesn't seem right to not go tonight."
Meimei sighs
It is made by】.
