Chapter 495: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed
Yu Yao looked at him with tenderness in her heart, "Look at you, you're so silly. The children are still young, how can they hear you? But if the children know about your kindness in the future, they will definitely be happy."
Chen Mufeng stood up, held her hands, and said solemnly: "Yao'er, don't worry, I will work harder to prepare for the Spring Examination, strive to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, and give you three a stable and prosperous life. Let our children live a good life from the moment they are born, enjoy all the glory and wealth, and never let you suffer any grievances."
She smiled and nodded slightly, her eyes full of trust and joy, "Well, I believe you. But don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best. Now, let's arrange the things in front of us first. Don't tell our family in advance, I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it."
Chen Mufeng nodded slightly, thinking the same thing in his mind.
He was almost certain that if their family got to know about their affair, the roof would be blown off their heads.
The reputations of both would be ruined.
"Yao'er is right, but if I leave, will you be here alone?"
He frowned, feeling a little worried.
It would have been fine if Yaoer wasn’t pregnant, but now she is pregnant with twins. How can she survive without someone by her side?
Yu Yao knew what he was worried about and chuckled twice, "Don't worry about me. My belly is less than three months old now, so I don't need anyone to take care of me. But you. When you go back, your family will definitely have a banquet, and there will be social interactions, so it's inevitable that you will be delayed for some time. For such a long time, I..."
Another point is that Chen Mufeng is not young anymore, and now he is a juren. After he returns, I don’t know how many matchmakers will come to propose marriage to him.
Chen Mufeng didn't know what she was thinking, so he just said, "Yao'er, you can't be careless with twins. Why don't you find a reliable woman to take care of them, help you cook, clean the house, and talk to you to relieve your boredom."
She glanced at him and said, "Really, no need. I'm not that fragile yet. I spent a lot of money to rent this yard, and I have to spend money on food and drink. If I hire a maid, it will also be a big expense. We will have many more places to spend money in the future."
She was not short of money, she just said that on purpose so that Chen Mufeng would know how expensive daily necessities are and understand her efforts.
Secondly, I really don’t think it’s necessary.
Chen Mufeng will only be back for a month or two at most, so it's no use wasting money to hire a maid.
Chen Mufeng reacted as soon as he heard it, looking guilty that he had overlooked this point.
Then he hurriedly took off the purse from his waist, which contained some silver given to him by his family. He spent some of it and now had 20 taels left.
As for the 100 taels that Yao'er had originally given him, he put them in his luggage and did not carry them with him.
He stuffed the purse into her hand and said softly, "Yao'er, I was inconsiderate. Take this money first and spend it where it should be spent. Don't put yourself and the baby in your belly at risk. Don't save money on hiring a maid. You are pregnant now, and I feel more at ease if someone takes care of you."
Yu Yao felt warm in her heart, but she pushed the purse back. "I really don't need it. You can keep the money for the journey. We will have to spend money when we get home. Besides, we still have to go to Beijing, and there will be many places to spend money in the future. We should save money where we can."
She paused, and then continued, "I'm telling you this because I really don't think there's any need to hire a maid. I don't have much to do in this yard on weekdays, and I can take care of myself. If there's really anything, I can ask the neighbors for help. Granny Zhou next door is a very nice person."
Although Chen Mufeng was still a little worried, he also knew that Yao'er was a person with her own ideas. Since she insisted so much, he would not force her.
He sighed softly, tied the purse back around his waist, and said, "Yao'er, since you said so, I will do as you say. But you must take good care of yourself. If you really feel uncomfortable or need help, don't be stubborn. You must go find someone to help you, whether it's a neighbor or someone else."
I thought to myself that I would mention this matter to Brother Li later and ask him to find someone to help take care of it secretly. I think Brother Li will not refuse.
She chuckled, turned around and sat next to the stone table, and said with a smile, "Okay, come and eat, or it will get cold if you don't eat now."
"good."
Chen Mufeng chuckled, walked over and sat down, and the two of them happily had dinner.
Although it was not very hot, it tasted very good. The two of them talked and laughed and enjoyed the meal very much.
After the meal, Yu Yao stood up to clean up the dishes, but Chen Mufeng got there first and said softly, "Yao'er, sit down and take a rest. Let me do this."
She didn't refuse. She smiled and sat back, watching Chen Mufeng busy in and out, washing the dishes and putting them in the cupboard.
Thinking that he will attend the Lu Ming Banquet tomorrow and will be the champion, there will definitely be many people toasting him at that time.
Toasting is secondary. The only thing he is afraid of is that some students with bad intentions might be jealous of Chen Mufeng and deliberately force him to drink in order to embarrass him.
In this case, no matter how good your alcohol tolerance is, you won’t be able to handle it.
Yu Yao's mind moved, and she bought three hangover pills from the system mall.
This thing is very cheap, 1 point per pill, and it has no other use except to sober up.
She took the pill and walked to the kitchen. Chen Mufeng was busy there. When he saw her coming, he thought she was going to wash up, so he smiled and said, "Yao'er, sit in the room for a while. I'll get you some hot water and bring it over."
As he said this, he took a wooden basin from the side and went to scoop hot water from the pot.
Although he is a scholar, he is good at housework and very efficient.
She hurriedly pulled him back and said, "I heard that the governor will hold a Luming Banquet tomorrow and invite all the successful candidates. Take this. I got it from the old doctor in the pharmacy. It can help you get rid of hangovers."
As he said that, he handed over the three hangover pills in his hand.
Chen Mufeng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't doubt it. He just felt that Yao'er was very thoughtful and even prepared this for him.
He was moved, took the hangover pill, examined it carefully, and smelled a refreshing fragrance. He knew it was a good thing at first smell.
I was afraid that I had spent a lot of money again, and I thought to myself that I couldn’t just study hard, I had to think about making money.
"Yao'er, you are always so thoughtful and you specially prepared this for me. Thank you for your hard work."
Yu Yao patted his hand gently. "I'm just afraid that someone will deliberately force you to drink at the banquet tomorrow. If you get drunk, it will be embarrassing. Take this hangover pill with you. If you feel the alcohol is getting to you, take one immediately. Don't force yourself to drink."
Chen Mufeng carefully put away the hangover pills and looked serious. "Well, I've made a note of it. Don't worry, Yao'er, I'll be careful. Although the Luming Banquet is a festive occasion, and everyone is a successful candidate, we should congratulate each other, but it's inevitable that some people are jealous and want to use some tricks."
"So you have to be more careful. At the banquet tomorrow, in addition to those students, there might be some dignitaries who will also be present. When you deal with them, you have to be extra careful in what you say and do. They are all cunning people. Don't offend them without knowing it."
She gave the instructions again with concern.
Although Chen Mufeng is the male protagonist, he is young and has not experienced much.
"Don't worry, Yao'er. I will be careful with my words and actions tomorrow and pay more attention."
Chen Mufeng nodded seriously.
The two talked for a while, and Chen Mufeng brought some hot water into the house. He even squatted down to wash her feet himself, without any airs of a scholar.
She felt a little embarrassed and wanted to pull her feet back, but Chen Mufeng gently pressed them into the water.
"Don't be embarrassed, just let me wash you. You are pregnant now, and bending over is not good for the baby."
He chuckled twice, the sound was low and magnetic, and very pleasant to hear.
Then, he lowered his head and washed her feet carefully.
The candlelight in the room shone on his face, making him look even softer, more handsome and elegant.
He washed her feet very carefully, gently, and with his eyes fixed on her feet.
Chen Mufeng discovered that Yao'er's feet were small and delicate, snow-white, tender, crystal clear, and extremely beautiful. They did not look like a village woman's feet at all and were very well maintained.
I couldn't help but admire her: "Yao'er, your feet are so beautiful, just like beautiful jade."
After hearing what he said, Yu Yao's cheeks turned redder and she scolded him, "How can you stare at someone's feet like this and say such things? It's so embarrassing."
Chen Mufeng just smiled and continued to wash her feet seriously, saying as he washed: "I'm telling the truth."
Yu Yao was so amused by him that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She simply stopped talking and let him continue.
Soon, the feet were washed, and Chen Mufeng carefully wiped her feet dry with a towel, then stood up and took the water out and poured it away.
After returning, he helped her lie down on the bed, covered her with a blanket, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said softly: "Yao'er, go to sleep, I'm leaving first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow."
He lived in Li Mingxuan's villa, so it was naturally not convenient for him to stay here at night.
When Yu Yao heard this, reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still nodded, "Then be careful on the road, and pay more attention at the banquet tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I remember everything. Have a good rest, don't think too much, and wait for me to come back."
He kissed her again, then blew out the candle in the room. When he left, he took advantage of the dimness in the room to quietly place the purse containing silver at his waist on the table, closed the door and left.
Of course, when you leave, close the door to the yard.
