Chapter 57. Cold (update 1) Cold (update 1)…



The nights in Qingzhou were very cool, which made Yurong feel very comfortable. She could sleep better in cool weather. But Qingzhou was too dry, so she had to ask the maids to help her apply balm all over her body, especially her belly. She was afraid of getting wrinkles, so she picked out a little with an ear pick and applied it carefully.

After doing this, she went to bed contentedly.

She fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow. This was the benefit Yurong had gained since her rebirth. Being able to rest easily made her most satisfied.

When Wei Xuanning came back from the meeting outside, he saw Yurong sleeping soundly. Li Rui stepped forward and said, "I will wait for the eldest master to rest."

"No need, just move a couch over and I'll rest next to it." He didn't want to wake Yurong up.

Li Rui hurriedly said, "Master, that beauty bed is so small, how can you sleep there?" She was a maid serving Madam Wei. Although she was transferred to Yurong's side, she was subconsciously aware of Wei Xuanning's intentions.

How can a man as tall as the eldest son sleep on a beauty's bed like that? How can he sleep comfortably on that?

Wei Xuanning said calmly: "Just do whatever I tell you to do, no need to say anything more."

Li Rui then said seriously, "Yes, I understand."

When Yurong woke up the next day, Wei Xuanning had already gotten up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at him: "When did you come back last night? Why didn't you wake me up?"

Wei Xuanning smiled and said, "You were sleeping so soundly, how could I possibly wake you up? You've had a hard time traveling all the way with a big belly. Now that you're here, you should take a good rest."

"Well, don't worry." She tilted her head and smiled at him.

Because of sleeping, her hair was all disheveled, and her little face was disheveled under her black hair, making her look even more charming and delicate. Wei Xuanning's heart suddenly felt hot, and he pretended to be calm, put on his clothes and left the room.

Yurong waited for him to leave, then leaned against the head of the bed and dozed off for a moment before letting someone serve her.

She does not have to worry about giving gifts at the Wei family, but when she is away from home, she has to socialize with the other ladies. When arriving in a new place, there is no quicker way to establish good relationships with everyone than this.

"Bi Tao, take out our brochure and I'll draw up a gift list."

Bi Tao did not dare to delay, and Xue Bai served breakfast, and persuaded Yu Rong: "The eldest master ordered our servants to prepare breakfast. The eldest master told you not to worry, you can do it alone, and he will let that Jun Niang do it."

This was Wei Xuanning's consideration. He told Yurong that he had to adapt to the local customs, and also told her that as a husband, he was not cooking for her but was being considerate of her.

Yurong nodded, "Put it here."

The food was the same as at home: bird's nest porridge, a portion of golden and silver steamed buns, auspicious rolls, cloud-like ham, silver sprout chicken shreds and water shield soup, everything you could expect.

Lamei smiled and said, "Our eldest master is really good to our eldest lady. He would rather suffer himself than let our eldest lady suffer." As a maid who came with the bride's dowry, Lamei was very happy to see this.

"How can this be considered hardship?" Yurong knew that he was considerate, but she didn't think she was special. If a person really wanted to do good things somewhere, he or she should really integrate into it.

But she was not the kind of person who was stubborn and stubborn. She just said, "I appreciate the kindness of the eldest master. When I give birth to a child, I will do the same as him."

Xuebai and Lirui looked at each other and both felt that the eldest grandmother really loved the eldest son, which was good.

After breakfast, Yurong started to draw up a list. She was new and didn't understand many things. She could only rely on her own experience and write down some things so that people could prepare them.

As she was talking, she heard the steward outside come to report that the Qingzhou prefect and his daughter came to visit. Yurong smiled and said, "They are here now. Please invite them over."

Xuebai's grandmother is Nanny Zhu, who has always been in charge of dealing with officials' wives for Madam Wei, so she knows a thing or two. Besides, she is different from Lirui. Lirui is beautiful and may have some thoughts about the eldest son, but she just wants to make a name for herself by the side of the eldest lady.

After all, Madam Wei is old and has capable maids around her. It would not be a bad thing if she could regain the favor of her new master.

She stepped forward and said, "Qingzhou is not a wealthy place, but I have heard that the less wealthy a place is, the less discipline there is. Madam, you must not underestimate these people."

Don't think that those people who live in cold and bitter places look down on others because they have no background. It happens that those people dare to act presumptuously precisely because they have no background.

Yurong agreed with this. She looked at Xuebai and said, "You are right."

But that was all. Xuebai lowered her head and said she didn't dare.

There was no way. The eldest grandmother was so intimidating without even getting angry that she didn't dare to take credit for it.

Soon the wife of the Qingzhou prefect came over. She was about forty years old, wearing a snow-white pearl pleated skirt inside and a crimson purple jacket outside, with a pair of gold hairpins in her hair. Her skin was heavily powdered, but the dark yellow skin on her neck showed that she did not look well. The girl next to her was probably about the same age as Yurong, and was very pretty.

"Madam, I am sorry for coming to visit you without sending you a letter. But we live next door to each other and I am a kind-hearted person, so I wanted to come and see you."

She speaks slowly and calmly, which makes it easy for people to like her.

Yurong smiled and said, "You are so polite. I just arrived and I don't know how to get along with everyone. It's just right that you are here."

The prefect's wife hurriedly said: "If you have anything to ask, I will tell you everything." She then pointed to her daughter and said: "Besides, if I don't have time, I can ask Ling Yue to help me." OK."

"Ling Yue? It's a good name." Yu Rong praised.

Leng Lingyue immediately stood up and was about to salute, but Yurong said, "Stop being so polite."

She then asked Madam Leng, "Who lives around here? Madam Leng, could you tell me a little bit so that I don't get confused and offend people."

At this time, Madam Leng was like a gourd with a sawed mouth. She could only stammer, "To be honest, I have only been here for about two months, so I am not very familiar with the place."

It seems that this cold lady just wants to get close to him, but she is as timid as a mouse. She doesn't even dare to mention who is around her or how they evaluate her. She thinks she is trying to please him.

Yurong then said, "So that's how it is."

But in Yurong's eyes, outsiders are probably divided into useful people and useless people. Some people may be good people, but they are useless, she finds them boring; some people may be rebellious or have bad personalities, but they can be of great use, and she will even treat them with courtesy.

She knew that she would appear very cold, and most people yearn for warmth, but she never said anything warm to others. Useless social interactions would make her very annoyed.

As an official's wife, the most important thing for her is to know how to get along well with the wives of her superiors in order to help her husband get promoted. This cold lady seems to be of little use, like chicken ribs, so she is too lazy to waste her breath on her.

"Bi Tao, please give Madam Leng the gift I prepared in Kyoto. I'm busy here, so I won't keep you here."
