Chapter 323 Can you stay with me?
Xu Qingye looked at the untouched jujube paste cake in her hand.
"Don't you want to eat?"
Song Yuntang reacted and took a bite of the date paste cake.
The skin is crispy and the inside is sweet, and the taste is not much different from that in town.
The only difference is that the date paste cakes in the county town are sprinkled with sesame seeds, which makes them taste more sesame-flavored.
“The jujube paste crisps with sesame seeds are also delicious.”
Seeing that Xu Qingye didn't ask her about what happened in Funiu Village, she felt a little unsure.
I don’t know what he is thinking.
After slowly eating a piece of jujube paste cake, Song Yuntang hesitated again and again, and finally asked the question in his heart, "Xu Qingye, can our relationship still be maintained?"
She lowered her head. Although she felt uncomfortable, she still said what she wanted to say word by word.
"If you find it difficult to continue, or have any grudges, you can tell me. I won't blame you. We can part ways amicably. This yard in the county town belongs to you as my compensation to you. If you want something else, you can tell me. If it is within my ability, I can satisfy you."
Hearing her seemingly calm words, Xu Qingye shook his head helplessly and smiled.
He raised his hand and touched her head.
"In my opinion, you made a greater sacrifice by marrying me, so why do you have to compensate me in return?" The man sighed, and hurt flashed in his bloodshot eyes. "I don't want a yard, and I don't want anything else."
"I said before that I will not separate from you unless you want to leave me, and this sentence has always worked."
Song Yuntang looked at him.
"Is it just because of this promise that you won't break up with me?"
Xu Qingye shook his head, "Not all of them."
At this moment, Song Yuntang seemed to see an emotion in his eyes that he had never seen before.
But this look was so fleeting that she thought she was dazzled.
"and you……"
She wanted to ask something else when she suddenly heard Cheng Nian'er's voice coming from outside the door.
"Cousin, it's time to eat."
Xu Qingye stood up and pushed Song Yuntang down when he wanted to get up from the bed.
"Rest, I'll bring you some food. The doctor said you need to rest for a few days to recover from the injury on your head."
I do feel dizzy when my head moves, perhaps it's a sequelae of a concussion.
She didn't insist on getting up and just sat on the bed waiting.
Xu Qingye brought Song Yuntang's meal after a while.
White rice, two chicken legs and half a bowl of chicken soup, bok choy, stir-fried lotus root slices, and an egg on top of the white rice.
Very rich.
"Why did you give me both chicken legs?"
Xu Qingye said in a gentle voice, "Mom said you need to replenish your body. Eat, we still have food."
After Song Yuntang filled his stomach, he felt that the dizziness in his head was not so severe. After he calmed down, he got up and walked in the yard.
Jiang and Xu Yongwang were so worried that they didn't get any rest last night. After finishing their meal and cleaning up the kitchen, they went back to the house.
There was a room full of medicinal herbs between Xu Wencheng and Cheng Nian'er's rooms, so Tu Shi temporarily arranged for him to live in the same room with Xu Wencheng.
Seeing that there was nothing to do at home, the three men went back to their rooms and went to sleep.
After Xu Qingye finished his meal, he took a book and sat on the recliner to read. After Song Yuntang walked around, he found that he had fallen asleep.
To prevent him from catching a cold, I quickly went into the house and got a thin blanket and gently covered him with it.
He looked back at the rooms with closed doors, then sat down next to Xu Qingye, supporting his chin with both hands, and looked at his facial features carefully.
She usually didn't dare to stare at him so directly, but this time she finally got the chance.
I was amazed when I first saw him.
Although at that time he was so thin that he was almost skin and bones.
Now that she has recovered, the flesh on her cheeks is just the right amount of full, and she looks even better than when I first saw her.
She looks like a flawless porcelain doll.
The occasional pain on her forehead made Song Yuntang feel uncomfortable. She didn't stay outside for long. She sat next to Xu Qingye for a while and then went back to bed to rest.
…
I slept until dark, and perhaps because I had a good rest, the pain in my head was slightly relieved.
Hearing the noise, Xu Qingye, who was reading in the main hall next door, came into the room with a lamp.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Song Yuntang shook his head, as if he had not yet fully woken up from his sleepiness, and said lazily, "I ate too much at noon, so I'm not hungry now."
Xu Qingye casually placed the lamp on the desk.
"Even if you're not hungry, you have to eat a little. Otherwise, you won't make it to the morning and you'll be hungry again."
Song Yuntang still shook his head.
"I'm really not hungry."
Xu Qingye compromised.
"Since you're not hungry, go back to sleep."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to take the lamp to continue reading in the main room.
A small hand reached out and grabbed his fingers, with a look of grievance and dependence in the girl's eyes.
"Xu Qingye, can you accompany me?" He seemed to feel embarrassed and sensibly retracted his hand, "It's okay if you don't have time, just go and do your thing."
Xu Qingye felt a little distressed.
She had never been this clingy before.
No matter how steady her character is, she is still a girl after all. Maybe she was frightened by what happened to the bandits yesterday.
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
He walked forward and closed the door, then closed the open window a little. Then he took off his coat and came to the bed, carefully holding Song Yuntang in his arms, as if afraid of hurting her.
"Go to sleep."
Song Yuntang said "hmm".
After that, the two of them didn't say anything else. They fell asleep in each other's arms and slept until dawn.
When Song Yuntang woke up, Xu Qingye had already gone to the Tang Mansion.
Jiang brought the hot breakfast in the pot to the main hall.
"Tang'er, I heard from Qingye that you didn't eat anything last night. Get up and have breakfast first."
The breakfast is quite rich.
A bowl of light chicken noodle soup, a boiled egg, and an appetizing portion of sour radish.
There were also some blanched vegetables on top of the chicken soup noodles.
Song Yuntang started to worry after breakfast, because tomorrow was the day he had agreed with Lord Zhu to pay the remaining three thousand taels of silver.
She is still injured and it is inconvenient for her to go out. She hasn't even seen Yang Linyuan yet.
The three thousand taels had not been paid, and it was unknown whether Lord Zhu would go back on his word and not sell the land to her.
On second thought, she had helped so much with the matter of Funiu Village, so Lord Zhu should give her some time, right?
Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Song's home?"
