"Ming Wei, you don't have to be afraid or worry when you are with me. Never." Mei Ya whispered in the man's ear, word by word, with emotion.
"I know. I've always known." Zhong Mingwei also put his arms around Mei Ya and buried his whole face in his little girl's arms. It was like a tired bird returning to the forest.
…
Pang Yi came back after a while. He happily took down six large food boxes from the carriage, and finally helped Xiao An down. Then the two of them came in carrying food boxes.
"Hey! What happened today?" Gu Changlin stood up excitedly when he saw this scene, his eyes narrowed with joy, and asked hurriedly. "Is there any happy event today? Why bring back so much food?"
"Grandpa, there's good news! A great deal of good news!" Pang Yi's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "Grandpa, I'll drink with you today!"
"That's great. Let's see who will knock down the other first!" Gu Changlin was full of heroic spirit. While taking the food box from Xiao An, he followed Pang Yi into the main hall of the front yard.
Mei Ya and Zhong Mingwei also came over from the backyard. Seeing that Pang Yi and Xiao An had already arranged the dishes, the two sat down. Mei Ya took the chopsticks from Xiao An and asked with a smile: "Sister An, why didn't you come yesterday?"
Xiao An looked around. Then she moved the stool and whispered in her ear, "It's getting cold, so I'm going to make some thick clothes for Pang Yi."
"Are you done?" Meiya also leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"I have made a middle garment, but I haven't chosen the material for the outer garment yet," Xiao An said, "I also want to make a thicker cotton robe with Pang Yi, but I have never made one before, so I don't know how to fill it with cotton."
"I don't know how to do it either," Mei Ya said, "How about we go find Grandma Chen to teach us one day?"
"That's great. I was just worried about it," said Xiao An with a smile, patting Mei Ya's hand. "Then let's go buy some cloth and cotton tomorrow?"
"Okay, it's settled." Mei Ya smiled and patted Xiao An's hand.
"What are you talking about?" Zhong Mingwei looked at Mei Ya and Xiao An who had been talking to each other for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help it and patted Mei Ya. "Eat first, and then talk after that."
"Got it, got it." Mei Ya felt that Zhong Mingwei was a little nagging and muttered to him. Then, she looked at the extra chopstick of sweet and sour pork in her bowl. She stopped muttering and happily lowered her head to start eating the meat.
"Master, this time the chaos in Southern Xinjiang really came and went quickly. It was only three months at most, just a blink of an eye, and the Xu family fell." Pang Yi said as he poured a glass of wine for Gu Changlin, then looked at Zhong Mingwei and said, "To be honest, Master, I have always felt that Your Highness would deal with the Xu family sooner or later. But after all, the Xu family is the empress dowager's maternal family, and it is also the most prominent family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If Your Highness wants to deal with the Xu family, you naturally have to find a good reason, otherwise it will be a disgrace to your reputation. But I didn't expect that Xu Chengjin would seek his own death. Your Highness must be very happy."
"Of course, if you want to eat ice, it will hail. This will save His Majesty from many worries," Zhong Mingwei nodded, and reached out to take the wine pot, but Mei Ya held his hand. Zhong Mingwei looked at Mei Ya's fierce face and said embarrassedly, "I'll just have a drink."
Zhong Mingwei was still recovering from his leg injury and was not allowed to drink alcohol. That was why Mei Ya didn't check on him on the wedding day, so he got drunk. His legs hurt for several days afterwards.
"Not even one cup," Meiya hurriedly grabbed the wine pot and placed it in front of Gu Changlin. Looking at the empty cup in front of Zhong Mingwei, Meiya felt a little sorry for him, so she poured some of the milk tea in front of her into the cup, then smiled and said, "They say that tea can replace wine, so let's try milk instead of wine today."
Zhong Mingwei looked at the white milk tea in the cup and roared in his heart, but he still drank it obediently.
"Mr. Zhong, how does this wine taste?" Mei Ya asked Zhong Mingwei with her head tilted.
Zhong Mingwei smiled and said, "It tastes so good that I'm almost drunk."
"Hehe," Mei Ya couldn't help but smile, and poured him another cup of milk tea while smiling, "Then drink a little more, I want to see how much you can drink."
