"Even if I can only be a concubine in the end, I will have enough food and drink for the rest of my life. It's much better than marrying a farmer!"
"Mom, if the Ling family is really as good as you say, would they be interested in a country girl like me?"
"Why not? My daughter is pretty and capable. She will definitely charm those guys and make them do whatever you want!"
"What if it doesn't work?"
"Well, isn't this the method that people think of? Mom is telling you, if you do this, this, and then do this again..."
Chi Xingyue had no idea that so many people in Qingshan Village stayed up late at night just to marry into the Ling family.
She nestled in Ling Jiheng's arms and slept soundly.
I don’t know how someone who didn’t even have a boyfriend in her previous life got used to sleeping in another person’s arms. Is it because she was too tired during the day?
The sunshine in early autumn is still very bright, shining on the window panes, giving a warm feeling.
Chi Xingyue slept in again. Before he opened his eyes, he could hear the tinkling sounds in the yard.
Although they were trying their best to restrain themselves, Chi Xingyue had been drinking spiritual spring water for a month or two, and his hearing had greatly improved.
Lying lazily in bed, not wanting to move, completely unaware of Rong Siyuan, Geng Suhua got up early in the morning to pay her respects to the old lady.
Even Shu Muyun said that etiquette cannot be abolished and rules cannot be forgotten.
The old lady felt indescribably happy as she looked at the energetic young people.
But he deliberately ignored Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue and didn't even mention them.
A group of people chatted and drank tea, and it was already mid-morning.
Chi Xingyue played with Ling Jiheng's hair on the bed for a long time before getting up.
She hid in the space to change her clothes, then came out and combed her hair in front of the dressing table.
To be honest, this ancient hairstyle is so difficult. If she hadn't learned how to tie hair in a short video in her previous life, she would probably have been able to only tie her hair into a ponytail.
As soon as she sat down on the chair, Ling Jiheng came over, picked out a tassel hairpin from the dressing box, and gently flipped it with his fingers to help her tie her hair up.
It must be said that his craftsmanship is quite good. The long hair hanging down at her temples and the jade inlaid on the tassels make her little face even more lively.
Ling Jiheng wanted to draw eyebrows for Chi Xingyue, but found that there was not even an eyebrow pencil on the dressing table, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Ignoring Chi Xingyue's teasing look, he quickly tidied himself, opened the door, called Erzhu to pour water, and went to the next room to wash up.
When Chi Xingyue walked out of the room, she saw Baozhu putting the freshly made mooncakes into the oven.
Her eyes were full of smiles: "The Second Young Master's wife has woken up. I have warmed up the food for you and the Second Young Master in the kitchen. Please wash up first and I will serve it to you right away!"
Chi Xingyue nodded, went to the ear room to wash her face and do skin care before coming out.
I came to the kitchen and looked at the vegetable porridge in the white porcelain bowl and smiled.
Subconsciously asked: "Have you eaten?"
Baozhu nodded, her face flushed: "I have eaten, this servant is very full!"
Chi Xingyue said "hmm" and was about to leave when he was surprised to find that there were dozens of mooncakes in the basket.
She asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
Baozhu said embarrassedly: "I was afraid of delaying today's festival, and I was also afraid that asking for help would reveal the Second Young Master's wife's recipe, so I made these overnight.
Madam Er Shao, please try this. It has red bean paste and egg yolk filling. Er Zhu said it tastes good when mixed together."
Chi Xingyue broke one open and took a bite. He found that it tasted really good and couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
I even joked in my mind, "No wonder Ling Jiheng had to add a partition. Turns out he's a real foodie!"
Baozhu saw that she was enjoying the meal and reported with a smile, "We also have green bean filling, red bean filling, five-nut filling, pine nut filling, egg yolk lotus seed paste filling, and brown sugar peanut filling.
They are all here, Madam Second Young Master, please take a look, do you need to wrap them up?"
Chi Xingyue discovered that Baozhu not only arranged all the mooncakes neatly, but also classified them by patterns, oh no, by flavors.
He smiled and nodded. "Bao, two pieces per person, everyone gets one. As for the flavor, just make it randomly. I believe in your cooking skills."
Oh, and prepare a few six-packs. I'll be giving them out as holiday gifts later."
Baozhu nodded and went to work.
Ling Jiheng came over and brought the thick rice porridge back to the house, locked the door, and had a delicious breakfast with Chi Xingyue, accompanied by the pickles and sesame cakes that they had scavenged from the Ling family's kitchen.
Then he gave the bowl and took the mooncakes as gifts.
The old man and the old lady, the first wife, the second wife, the third wife, and the Shu family each received a bag of mooncakes, with a sense of ritual.
There were also servants of the Ling family and Ling Jiheng's subordinates, two each, without exception.
Finally, there were a few packets left, and Ling Jiheng gave them to the old man: "Grandfather, the Han, Wang, and Chen families came to Youzhou with us. It's the holiday, do you want to get together with your old friends?
And Song, the village chief, we will be living in Qingshan Village from now on. Should we ask you to go to the village chief's house, give him a gift, and say a few auspicious words?"
To be honest, the old man really wanted to go see his old friend, but he was afraid that he would be seen as showing off and that this would create resentment.
Now that Ling Jiheng mentioned it, his mind began to wander.
Ling Jiheng smiled and asked Jinbao to make arrangements, and also put some wine and barbecue in the car.
At noon, he took the old man to the Han, Wang and Chen families.
The task of visiting the village head was given to Ling Weicheng by the old man.
The reason was that they felt that Ling Jiren was young and they were afraid that he would not be able to control the situation and that Song Lizheng would think they were not sincere.
Ling Jiren had no objection, so Ling Weicheng agreed. After lunch, he went to Song Lizheng's house with a mooncake and a piece of meat.
Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue went back to their room to take a nap, not caring at all about what others thought.
The old lady smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Heng'er and Xingyue are so loving!"
Gu Youlian curled her lips: "I think it's shameless!"
Ling Jiren glanced at her, said nothing, and went straight back to the house.
Gu Youlian was so angry that she stomped her feet and chased after him.
If there weren't so few rooms in Rongsiyuan, the couple would not have lived in the same room.
But now, even if we live in the same room, we can’t do anything because Wan Chunqin and three children live next to us.
Gu Youlian's idea of stabilizing her position by getting pregnant again was completely shattered.
She didn't even think about whether Young Master Ling was still willing to have an affair with her.
As for the servants of the Ling family, they don't care what the second young master and the second young mistress do in the room.
They only knew that their master had just returned and had given them benefits. This treatment was much better than when they were with Jinbao and the housekeeper.
Everyone was very grateful to Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue, but they were reluctant to eat the mooncakes.
The maids and servants hid the mooncakes in the house, and when they were extremely greedy, they would take them out, break off a small piece and taste it. This way they could eat the mooncakes for a long time.
As for Ling Yi and the others, although they were happy, none of the maids and servants cared about it.
Because they know that their master will not leave them behind in anything.
Even if it’s not a holiday, as long as you say you want to eat, someone will be arranged to make it.
That's why they follow Ling Jiheng wholeheartedly.
