Wen Ye didn't care what expression Xu Yuejia had at the moment. She bowed slightly and said to Xu Yuxuan, "Not only can you not marry a good wife, you can't play with your mother either!"
Xu Yuxuan's eyebrows were tangled together, and he seemed to have a hard time making a decision.
After a while, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up and he said, "And there's Madam!"
It means that even though my mother is gone, I still have my nanny to play with me.
Between 'not studying' and 'being able to continue playing with my mother', Xu Yuxuan obviously chose the former.
Wen Ye: “…”
This kid really doesn't like studying.
The plastic mother-child relationship was shattered into pieces.
Xu Yuejia, who had said nothing the entire time, lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Wen Ye was speechless and didn't say anything else. He took the storybook and left the study.
It would be better to let Xu Yuejia take on the task of teaching the children to read, as she is no longer capable of doing so.
When Xu Yuxuan saw Wen Ye leaving, he stood up subconsciously and wanted to follow.
When Xu Yuejia gave him a look, Xu Yuxuan immediately wilted and sat back on the stool.
Outside, on the porch.
Wen Ye was lying on the swing, and Yun Zhi brought a plate of sugar-pickled green plums.
The peach branches were swinging gently behind him. Wen Ye ate a green plum and listened to the sound of reading from inside. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's great to grow up."
Taozhi gently swung the swing and said with a smile, "Madam and the young master are really destined to be together. Neither of them liked to study when they were young."
Wen Ye narrowed his eyes and retorted, "Nonsense, I was much more obedient than him when I was a child."
Taozhi and Yunzhi looked at each other and smiled secretly.
Wen Ye turned around and glanced at them as if she had realized something. At this time, Taozhi and Yunzhi had already suppressed their smiles.
Wen Ye asked, "Were you guys laughing just now?"
Tao Zhitou quickly shook her head and said, "I don't have any."
Yunzhi was not good at lying, and she was exposed when Wen Ye looked at her.
Wen Ye didn't bother with them because they were indeed...telling the truth.
The memories of childhood seemed to be very far away. Wen Ye pinched another green plum and put it into her mouth. She remembered that besides her, there were also Wen Lan and Wen Hui.
Putting aside Wen Hui's occasional little actions, it can barely be considered a time when the two newbies are playing against each other.
Wen Ye's mouth curled up.
Two days later, the eldest aunt and Yao packed their luggage. In addition to the ten guards personally selected by Duke Xu, they also hired the escort team from last time. After they arrived in Shengjing, they made several trips to several nearby provincial capitals.
This time they were escorting a convoy from Wancheng to the capital, and the eldest aunt thought that after the last visit, they were familiar with each other and there was no need to get used to each other again on the road.
Don't be in a hurry on the way back, just walk slowly and reach Lingcheng before summer.
Therefore, the eldest aunt decided to follow the escort team that was escorting the special products.
Mrs. Lu watched the servants load boxes of specialties onto the carriage, while Wen Ye and the eldest aunt were exchanging recipes with each other.
When the eldest aunt saw what Wen Ye took out, she couldn't help laughing, and the sadness of parting was washed away without a trace.
She joked, "Your cousin doesn't look like me at all, but you look like my own child."
Wen Ye said sweetly: "It must be extremely happy to be your aunt's daughter."
Even though she knew she was exaggerating, the eldest aunt still laughed out loud when she saw her sincere eyes.
Yao, who was standing by, silently took note of it and decided to learn it when she got back.
The eldest aunt put away the recipe and said, "This one I gave you contains the recipes for the local specialties of Lingcheng. Keep it well. When you want to eat it, ask the little kitchen to learn how to make it. When you have finished eating the specialties of Lingcheng, write to me and I will ask the escort team to deliver it to you."
It's rare to meet someone who suits her taste, and the eldest aunt is very reluctant to let him go.
Wen Ye nodded: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely not be polite."
After the luggage was loaded onto the carriage, Lu came over and said, "Cousin Tingxuan is an honest official. Maybe in a year or two, your aunt will return to Shengjing."
Tingxuan is the eldest aunt's only son, Shen Tingxuan.
The eldest aunt was immediately delighted when she heard this and said, "I hope your cousin can fight for his dignity."
No matter how good Lingcheng is, it is not as good as Shengjing. She was born and raised here, then got married and had children, and has spent most of her life here.
After seeing off the eldest aunt and Yao, and entering the mansion, Lu said, "Come with me."
Wen Ye followed without knowing why.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Lu asked her to sit down, and then called out to the outside, "Qingxue."
As he finished speaking, six or seven maids, led by Qingxue, entered the main hall one after another with trays in their hands.
I can't even hold the Wenye teacup steadily. What is Lu trying to do?
After taking a glance at the things in the maids' hands, Lu said to Wen Ye, "It's your birthday the day after tomorrow. I've been thinking about it and I don't know what to give you, so I just picked a few things. See if you like them. If you like them, take them all back."
The reason why I brought it forward two days was because I was afraid that on that day, it would clash with the birthday gift given by my second brother.
She doesn't want to do something bad with good intentions.
To this day, Lu still remembers the birthday cake Wen Ye prepared for her on her birthday. She had specially inquired about it and she was the first one in Shengjing.
Before Wen Ye got married, she had never done this for Shen.
Now when she goes out to meet friends and runs into her good friends from that day, they still look at her with envy.
Lu thought that she would probably remember this year's birthday party for the rest of her life.
Wen Ye suspected that she was dreaming, so she asked out loud to confirm: "Shall I choose one from them?"
If I were to pick one, it seems more in line with Lu's usual style.
Mrs. Lu frowned: "You only like one of them? That shouldn't be the case."
She asked several maids to come closer and examine them one by one, saying: "This Dongzhu is round and shiny, and the fine cloud yarn is most suitable for summer clothes. I specially picked it to match your color. And this ginseng, I remember you asked me where I bought the lip balm and powder I use? That shop recently launched a new style, and I specially picked a box for you..."
Lu counted them one by one, and still felt that she should like every one of them.
Wen Ye interrupted hurriedly, "I like all the gifts my sister-in-law gave me, but there are too many."
She was just celebrating her birthday, not her life span.
After hearing this, Lu's expression finally relaxed and she said, "I told you, my vision and taste haven't declined so quickly."
Wen Ye was helpless: "But this is too much."
Lu said, "There's no extra stuff, I just took some randomly from the warehouse."
The tone of voice was as if the person who just spoke in detail was not her.
Wen Ye still wanted to struggle a little longer.
Unexpectedly, Lu added, "It looks like there are a lot of them, but they are not rare items."
These words successfully blocked the "rejection" that was about to come out of Wen Ye's mouth.
What else can she say?
Wen Ye refused sincerely, but when the thing was really in her hands, the joy emanating from her inside out was real.
After touching the piece of fine cloud gauze, Wen Ye praised Lu in all kinds of ways in front of Qingxue, Baimei and others who helped deliver the things to the west courtyard.
Qingxue, Baimei: "..."
Where did the Second Madam learn this description?
The two were about to bow and say goodbye when Wen Ye suddenly stopped them and said, "Wait, I made some desserts, can you help me deliver them to my sister-in-law."
If we can’t compare financial resources, we can only compare the intentions.
After studying for several days in a row and only for an hour every morning, Xu Yuxuan was finally not as resistant as he was on the first day.
Soon it was Wen Ye's birthday.
Someone probably told him that the first thing Xu Yuxuan said after arriving at the West Courtyard was, "Happy birthday, mother~"
Wen Ye's mouth twitched. Who taught him to say that?
Then there was something in her arms, a plump and warm body.
At this moment, Xu Yuxuan suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Wen Ye on the right cheek.
Wen Ye couldn't dodge in time and got spit all over his face.
Xu Yuxuan seemed very satisfied with his "work" and laughed.
Wen Ye: “…”
Brat.
The small kitchen made longevity noodles this morning. Xu Yuejia was not at home, so she ate one bowl and Xu Yuxuan ate half a bowl.
Upon learning that he didn't have to study today, Xu Yuxuan's eyebrows twitched and he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face.
There seemed to be no difference between celebrating a birthday and any other day. After the meal, Wen Ye teased Xu Yuxuan for a while and then continued to entertain himself.
Xu Yuejia returned at the hour of You.
Xu Yuxuan was tired from playing in the afternoon and was carried back to the west courtyard by Nanny Ji to sleep. Wen Ye had dinner alone.
Seeing Xu Yuejia coming back at this time, Wen Ye asked Taozhi to add a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Xu Yuejia was temporarily called into the palace today and was not allowed to leave until the afternoon.
He looked at the sumptuous meal in front of him, paused and said, "I remember, today is your birthday."
Wen Ye raised her eyebrows: "My dear, you haven't forgotten?"
Xu Yuejia looked at her: "What do you want?"
Wen Ye put down her chopsticks and said, "My dear, please give me whatever you like. I won't be picky."
She would not be as polite to Xu Yuejia as she was to Lu.
Xu Yuejia: "...Let's eat first."
Wen Ye murmured inwardly, feeling strange.
After dinner, the maids served tea, and Xu Yuejia suddenly spoke up and asked them to go down first.
After everyone left, Wen Ye asked him, "Why did you send them away?"
Xu Yuejia didn't say anything, but took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve and said, "This is the contraceptive medicine I found secretly."
Wen Ye said coldly, "My dear, do you want me to eat you?"
Xu Yuejia glanced at her and continued, "This medicine is for men to take once every three months. It won't hurt the root."
Wen Ye was completely shocked. It took her a while to find her voice again. She said, "My dear, do you want to eat?"
Is Xu Yuejia crazy, or is she dreaming?
In just two days, she had daydreamed twice.
Xu Yuejia poured one out and said, "I've asked before. If you want to be absolutely sure, this is the only way."
Xu Yuejia didn't understand medical knowledge, but from what several doctors said, he had a general understanding that throughout history, when it comes to contraception, if you start with the man, it will be much simpler and the damage can be reduced by nine out of ten.
Wen Ye stared at the small brown pill in his hand, speechless for a long time...
Xu Yuejia put the pill back, stood up and said, "I took one before returning home."
Wen Ye: “…”
Xu Yuejia's sudden move left her at a loss for a moment.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Yuejia came out from the side room.
After washing, Xu Yuejia's hair was still wet, and the heat turned his fair neck red. Wen Ye suddenly felt a little thirsty.
Even her pajamas were different from usual ones, and seemed to be embroidered with cloud patterns.
Is this a 'birthday limited edition'?
Xu Yuejia said in a calm voice: "Are you satisfied?"
Wen Ye was just beginning to feel moved, but his words completely disrupted her emotions.
Xu Yuejia, when did you learn to be repressed?
Things have come to this point, he has already taken the medicine on his own initiative, why should I be so reserved?
Wen Ye walked closer, her eyes lit up: "My dear, let's go to bed."
Xu Yuejia took a step back and said, "Go wash up."
A bucket of cold water poured over, instantly extinguishing Wen Ye's newly heated heart.
