"What happened to Yue Ling beside Li?"
"I just went to the kitchen to get food, and I saw Yue Ling acting strangely. Her back was facing me, so I didn't notice it. The more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed."
"Because that place is full of prepared meals, Gege, what do you think she is doing standing there?"
"But maybe I'm overthinking it." Because usually they wait at the door to get their meals, and rarely go near the food preparation area.
"Has anyone else ordered food before you?"
"I heard that Eunuch Wang An, who serves Concubine Wen, has been there." She asked this while chatting with the eunuch in the kitchen.
They were all busy at the time, so she asked a question.
"People around Concubine Wen." Song Gege muttered to herself thoughtfully.
Mu Xiang was curious, "Princess, is there a problem?"
"It's okay. Just keep it to yourself. Don't talk about it outside, or people might hear it and say something nonsense." Song Gege reminded.
"Yes, I know." Hearing the princess say this, Muxiang felt that she was overthinking it, so she didn't say anything else.
But Song fell into deep thought.
Although she told Muxiang that it was nothing, this matter was definitely not that simple.
Could it be that Li wants to take action against Concubine Wen?
——
When Mrs. Li saw Yue Ling coming back, she quickly pulled her into the house and asked eagerly, "How is it going? Is it done?"
Yue Ling put the things down and nodded to Li Yaoyao, "Just when I was about to make a move, Mu Xiang from Song Gege's side came over."
"With her by my side, I didn't dare to continue, so..."
"Useless thing..." When Mrs. Li heard that things were not done, her face suddenly became ugly and she started cursing.
"The Wen family is lucky today."
"Princess, what should we do next?" This opportunity is rare, and it will be difficult to find such an opportunity next time.
"I can only look for another opportunity later. Okay, did you bring back the Tremella soup?" She was almost starving to death.
"I got it back, and the food slaves were also taken back."
"Then let's eat first." Li sat down.
Yue Ling quickly took out the meal and Tremella soup from the food box and arranged them one by one.
Wen Mianmian is also having dinner with the children.
Chenchen wrote the name twice because his handwriting was not good.
So I was absent-minded when eating.
Wen Mianmian saw this and picked up a piece of his favorite fish tofu for him.
"What are you thinking about? Eat quickly, or you'll cry if you're hungry in the middle of the night."
"Mom, my brother can't eat because he didn't finish writing his name." Tiantian said while eating.
"I didn't." Chenchen's face turned red.
"Okay, you can write that character tomorrow. Let's eat quickly."
Chenchen immediately perked up when he heard it, "Really, mother?"
"Really, give me food right now, or you won't cry if you're hungry in the middle of the night."
"Hehehe, I'll eat it right away. I won't cry. I'm a man." Chenchen said as he picked up the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls.
"Eat slowly, don't choke, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Wen Mianmian quickly reminded him when she saw him eating without restraint.
When Chenchen heard this, he immediately slowed down his eating.
——
As the Chinese New Year approaches, heavy snow begins to fall outside, and the eaves and treetops are covered with a thick layer of snow.
The children were very excited to see the snow.
He ran up to Wen Mianmian and said, "Mom, we want to go out and play in the snow, is that okay?"
They saw Eunuch Wang An build a big snowman in the yard with snow, so they also wanted to build a snowman to play with.
"It's so cold outside, aren't you afraid?" Wen Mianmian neither agreed nor disagreed.
"Don't be afraid, we are dressed warmly. Just let us go, mother." Tiantian lay on her mother's legs and acted coquettishly.
Xuanxuan and Chenchen also looked at their mother with expectant eyes, and Xiaobai also wanted to play in the snow.
"You can go if you want, but you must wear a scarf and gloves, and also wear the leather boots I made for you earlier, so you don't catch a cold."
"Also, you must drink ginger soup after playing, otherwise..."
"We understand."
The children immediately put on the things their mother asked them to. Even Xiaobai put on the small cotton-padded jacket made specially for him, and then ran outside to play in the snow.
Wen Mianmian sat by the window. By opening it a little, she could see the children's cheerful voices echoing in the yard.
It would be great if this window could be replaced with glass, so that I could see the beautiful scenery outside while sitting here.
Thinking of this, Wen Mianmian remembered that colored glaze had already existed in the Qing Dynasty. She would ask the Fourth Master to see if he could make a window with colored glaze someday.
Although it is not as transparent as glass, it is much better than the current windows and allows for much better light.
Sitting here looking at the beautiful scenery outside, it feels beautiful just thinking about it.
She did it right away. She would ask about it when the Fourth Master came back today.
The Fourth Master came back early tonight. After handling some official business in the front yard, he went to Wen Mianmian's Zizhu Courtyard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw several snowmen piled up in the yard, some big and some small. It was really hard to describe the size of them.
When the Fourth Master saw it, he knew who did it without even thinking.
"Master, you're back." Wen Mianmian heard the voice and walked slowly towards the Fourth Master with a heater in her hand.
As soon as the Fourth Master entered the room, he untied his cloak and handed it to the person next to him. When he saw Mian Mian coming towards him, he stopped her, saying, "Mian Mian, don't come over here yet. I feel cold and I don't want to pass the cold air on to you."
After saying that, he started to warm himself by the stove near the door.
When Wen Mianmian heard what the Fourth Master said, she indeed stopped not far away.
After the Fourth Master warmed up, he hugged Mianmian and sat on the warm couch.
"By the way, what's going on with the snowman in the yard outside?"
If he hadn't seen that they all had hats, scarves, eyes, noses, and arms, he would have thought it was just a pile of snow.
When Wen Mianmian heard the Fourth Master talking about the snowmen outside, she laughed.
"That's what the kids made today, it's so precious."
If she hadn't asked someone to bring them back today, these children would have played outside for who knows how long.
If they hadn't been so tired from playing today, they wouldn't have gone to bed so early.
And when they came back, many parts of their bodies were wet. She quickly asked them to take a hot bath and drink several bowls of ginger soup, otherwise they would catch a cold tomorrow.
"By the way, Master, I have something I want to ask you." Wen Mianmian hasn't forgotten about her glazed window.
"What's the matter?" The Fourth Master said, holding Wen Mianmian's hand.
