After finishing her words, Xu Yuejia turned around and walked straight towards the bed.
Wen Ye sighed, then asked Taozhi to have someone carry another bucket of bath water to the side room.
Fifteen minutes later, Wen Ye also came out of the bathroom, still steaming.
Hearing the noise, Xu Yuejia closed the book and raised her eyes slightly.
Wen Ye raised her eyebrows and walked over.
When the bed curtains are lowered, the room is filled with spring scenery again.
......
The next day, Wen Ye woke up and turned her head slightly.
Xu Yuejia was reaching for the official uniform hanging on the wooden hanger.
Glancing at his ordinary satin pajamas, Wen Ye remembered that she seemed to have torn a hole in his pajamas embroidered with cloud patterns yesterday.
Xu Yuejia noticed the movement behind her, put on her purple official robe, turned sideways, looked at Wen Ye, and said calmly, "Awake?"
Wen Ye yawned slightly and nodded, with the corners of his mouth still curled up, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Although everything was the same last night, the current mood and atmosphere are different, so I still have a different experience.
Being able to do the old things to perfection shows that Xu Yuejia is capable.
Wen Ye said softly, "My dear, you got up really early."
Xu Yuejia said solemnly: "You must take up your post."
Last night's Xu Yuejia seemed to be just a flash in the pan.
Wen Ye said "Oh", thought for a moment and said, "My dear, please come back early from dinner. I will ask the kitchen to make a few more dishes that you like."
Xu Yuejia straightened his official robes, paused for a moment, and said, "I may not be back for dinner."
Wen Ye smiled and said in a good-tempered manner: "It doesn't matter, I will wait for you no matter how late it is."
What a caring wife.
Xu Yuejia stared at her silently for a while.
Wen Ye laughed inwardly at the look in the man's eyes that clearly showed he had misunderstood something.
Then she deliberately said, "My dear, I want to celebrate my birthday again tonight, is that ok?"
Sure enough, behind all abnormal behaviors, there is a heart that wants to do bad things.
Xu Yuejia began to think seriously about whether it was right or wrong to tell her that she had taken the contraceptive pills.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wen Ye called out again, "My dear?"
Xu Yuejia put on his official hat, didn't even glance at her, and walked out, whispering, "Be more restrained."
It seems helpless, but also seems to be mixed with something else.
Wen Ye: “.......” Not amused.
It turns out that the stories in the novels are all lies.
After the man's figure completely disappeared, Wen Ye shouted outside: "Taozhi~"
After a while, Taozhi pushed the door open and said, "Madam, what can I do for you?"
Wen Ye stretched out a foot from the quilt, kicked off the outer quilt, and said, "Take the quilt away. I want to have a good sleep."
Trouble.
This is what happens to couples who are not familiar with each other. They can't even sleep in the same quilt at night.
We had agreed to go to the academy in early spring, but now it's more than half a month late.
Of course, it was not that Mrs. Lu was reluctant to part with her son. The reason why he came half a month late was that she let Xu Jingrong live on the farm for a few days and work in the fields with the farmers. He also learned to wash his own clothes every day.
Although it is not yet his turn to do these things at his age when he goes to college, it would be good to get familiar with them earlier.
However, Mrs. Lu also loved her son. Xu Jingrong went to the academy primarily to study, so this time Mrs. Lu asked Nanny Xian's youngest son to accompany him. She rented a small house near the academy and sent a maid with good cooking skills to go there.
In addition to the stipulated clothing-giving leave and busy farming leave, the academy also has a half-day holiday every ten days.
Xu Jingrong could go to the small bedroom, eat something good, and replenish her body. If she had any clothes that she hadn't had time to wash, she could take them over.
The Lu family was not the only one who did this. Other noble families who sent their sons to Songshan Academy would not let their children suffer forever. Near the academy were almost all small courtyards rented by Shengjing noble families. They would send one or two servants to guard the courtyards and usually make delicious food and send it to the academy for their own sons.
Xu Yuejia went to work, and the enlightenment teacher invited by Xu Yuxuan would not arrive until the day after tomorrow. The two days in between would be considered as holidays for him. After all, starting from the day after tomorrow, he would have to study one more hour every day than before.
However, Xu Yuxuan did not come to the West Courtyard to play with Wen Ye. Completely unaware of the situation, he had been hanging out with Xu Jingrong in the East Courtyard these past two days, telling him stories.
Knowing that Xu Jingrong was leaving tomorrow, Wen Ye asked the small kitchen to prepare some long-lasting food and brought it to the East Courtyard personally in the past two days.
There was no way. She could not repay Lu for her kindness. Xu Jingrong was her son, so they should share the burden.
In the east courtyard, Xu Jingrong was telling Xu Yuxuan how ferocious the goose he met in the manor was.
He spoke with great emotion while gesturing with a wooden sword, "The goose had a ferocious face. When it saw me, it spread its wings and was about to kill me. Unfortunately, I spotted it in advance and blocked it with my sword. The goose was frightened and jumped into the water..."
Xu Yuxuan was so stunned by his coaxing that he didn't even have time to express his feelings.
Xu Jinglin was tired of hearing these past two days and was concentrating on eating the pastry, so he didn't listen much. His eyes wandered around and he happened to catch a glimpse of Wen Ye and others outside the door.
He quickly stood up and interrupted his eldest brother, "Brother, the second aunt is here!"
Xu Jingrong was just at the critical juncture, standing on one leg, when Xu Jinglin suddenly howled, and he almost fell to the ground with his sword.
When Wen Ye came in, he was about to stagger and stop.
Wen Ye pretended not to see it, but as a nine-year-old child, he still had to give others some face.
Xu Jingrong struggled to steady himself, then led his brothers and Wen Ye to greet them.
When Xu Yuxuan saw her, he called out, "Mother~"
Wen Ye said "hmm" in response, and then asked Taozhi and Yunzhi to point the east and west. He said, "These are some long-lasting foods that I asked Hongxing to make. You keep them and take them to the academy tomorrow."
When Xu Jingrong heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
Wen Ye opened a pack. Xu Jinglin was the most enthusiastic. He pushed his eldest brother aside and took two pieces at a time, one for himself and one for Xu Yuxuan.
"This is salty and sweet, you can all eat it. I also made two packs of slightly spicy food." Wen Ye handed one to Xu Jingrong and reminded him, "But these must be eaten within half a month. If you wait any longer, the taste will go bad."
Xu Jingrong nodded with emotion. Before he had finished eating, he reached into the paper bag and took out another piece.
He usually doesn't like sweets, but this salty snack with a hint of sweet tastes surprisingly good.
"Second aunt, you are so nice!" Xu Jingrong said sincerely after swallowing the food in his mouth.
Wen Ye curled up the corners of his lips, smiling a little wickedly, and said, "By the way, I also got two pieces of fine ink from your second uncle. My sister-in-law said that your handwriting is average, so it's just right to take them and practice two more large characters every day."
Xu Jingrong's face froze.
After coming out of the East Courtyard, Wen Ye was in a very good mood. With nothing to do, she ran to the Main Courtyard to "harass" Mrs. Lu for a while.
She also brought some of the food for Xu Jingrong.
On a lukewarm spring day, there were many families getting married in Shengjing. Lu had to review all of the families she had connections with or who were related to the Duke's Mansion before deciding whether to go or not.
Occasionally there will be one or two invitations to a party that you can't refuse.
Wen Ye took a salty biscuit and fed it to Lu, saying softly, "Sister-in-law, try it."
Lu looked at her helplessly and said, "Why are you so similar to Jinglin?"
Wen Ye explained with a smile: "I just saw that my sister-in-law was busy."
Lu sighed, took the snack that Wen Ye fed her with her hand, and took a bite.
Wen Ye asked, "Is it delicious?"
Lu hummed and said, "Not bad, it would be better if the taste was lighter."
A person's taste habits cannot be changed in just three or five days.
Wen Ye made it according to his own taste, and Lu must have found it strange to eat.
So she said, "Then I'll go back and make a light meal for my sister-in-law."
Mrs. Lu was just saying it casually and didn't intend for her to do it specifically for her.
She said a little uncomfortably: "There are several chefs in the mansion who can make snacks. Why do you have to do it yourself? You usually make the dishes, so just keep them for yourself and don't worry about me.
Wen Ye said, "So sister-in-law doesn't like the snacks I make?
Lu: “…Not really.
Wen Ye: “It’s settled then.
After saying this, he fed him another piece.
Lu paused, and this time, she opened her mouth and ate.
"By the way, is your second sister-in-law about to give birth?" Lu was afraid that she would feed herself again, so she quickly changed the subject.
Wen Ye nodded: "Next month, but my mother wrote to me and told me to wait until my nephew or niece is one month old before going over.
That means I won’t be able to see my aunt and younger sister until May.
Lu agreed with Shen's approach, "Since your mother has sent you a special letter, you should listen to her.
If she was the only married woman returning home and the others didn't, it would not only look bad but also be embarrassing.
Shen had her reasons for doing this, and Wen Ye understood it all.
The eldest sister Wen Yuwan is in the Earl's Mansion. As the wife of the prince, she has to raise the children and assist her mother-in-law in dealing with the interpersonal relationships in the Earl's Mansion. She has no time to visit her parents' home often.
Seeing that she seemed a little lonely, Lu said, "When Jingrong goes to the academy, Jinglin might not be used to it. Jingrong usually takes him out to play. I remember that your nephew seems to be about the same age as Jinglin. If you have time, bring him to your house to play for a day. He will be a good playmate for Jinglin.
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something else and said, "Your sister seems to be only two years older than Jinglin, so bring her along as well.
Wen Ye's heart was moved, but she didn't show any expression on her face, and said, "Is it too much trouble?
Mrs. Lu: "What's the trouble? I heard that your sister is a good student. She can set an example for Jinglin and Xuan'er.
Wen Ye said happily: "Then I will write a letter to my mother when I get back.
In the evening, Wen Ye found some letter paper from the study and asked Taozhi to grind it for him.
The first step was definitely to greet Shen and Father Wen, and then to care for the eldest and second brothers Wen, the eldest sister-in-law Yang, the second sister-in-law Liu, and the two nephews, even the baby in Liu's belly.
After writing a whole page with great enthusiasm, Wen Ye began to express his true intention.
She specifically stated in the letter that it was Lu who took the initiative to bring it up.
When I finished writing the letter, Xu Yuejia came back.
It was a rare sight to see her bent over her desk writing, so Xu Yuejia was about to walk towards the inner room, but suddenly changed direction.
Wen Ye heard footsteps, looked up and saw who it was, but said nothing.
Instead, put the written letter into an envelope.
Then she said, "My dear, you came back so early, have you changed your mind?
Xu Yuejia: "......
Wen Ye was just talking casually. If she really had to celebrate several birthdays in a row, she wouldn't be able to do it even if she wanted to.
