Chapter 45 Lin Yichen
No, Xu Qingmeng didn’t think that she liked Gu Yunyi. At most, it might be because of the child in her belly, and she didn’t want the child to be without a father!
Forget it, there's no point in thinking too much, just let it go! I sighed and continued eating.
Is there anything that can’t be solved by eating hot pot? Even if it can’t be solved, you have to eat hot pot first!!!
Ignoring all these messes and focusing all his attention on eating the hotpot, Xu Qingmeng ate even more happily.
Xu Xun was eating with gusto, chewing the food in his mouth, and mumbling: "Aunt, this is too delicious, this kind of direct, spicy and hot, it's the most comfortable thing to eat today."
"Hotpot is more suitable for winter. I just happened to come across chili peppers and I wanted to eat it."
"Indeed, eating this hot pot warms my body up, but your spicy hot pot is too spicy, I dare not eat it even if I want to."
"It can actually be made slightly spicy. Today I was really greedy and added too much chili. If it were slightly spicy, Mom would probably be able to accept it."
"That's a good feeling!"
"This tomato soup can be drunk directly. It is sour and sweet. The soup base is also bone soup. It tastes especially good. It can also strengthen the stomach and digestion and promote gastrointestinal motility. Everyone should drink some, especially Yun Sheng."
"Sister-in-law, how about we have hotpot tomorrow?" Yun Sheng's face turned red from eating, and his belly was bulging.
He glanced at Yun Sheng and said, "Still eating? All you do is eat every day. Look at you, you're going to be as fat as a ball soon, right?"
"Meng Niang, please stop pampering her."
"Mom, Yun Sheng is still little. He's so cute when he's chubby."
"That's right, I'm still young! Besides, I'm not fat, I'm cute."
He couldn't bear to watch and turned her head away from her. Then she looked at Yun Mo. The little guy was no less hungry, with his mouth full of sesame paste.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so in order to prevent Yun Sheng from eating, she dragged Yun Sheng and Yun Mo to wash their faces together.
Gu Yunyi poured himself a cup of tea, but fortunately he was more reserved than Xun Ge'er, and his mouth was not as spicy as sausages. However, Xu Qingmeng saw that his lips were obviously much moister and fuller than before.
Xu Qingmeng smiled secretly, then realized that she didn't know how he got so close to her, so she quickly moved to the side.
Gu Yunyi held the cup and looked at Xu Qingmeng quietly. Her fair face was flushed with pink, and her misty eyes looked at him with confusion, yet so clear and transparent.
Gu Yunyi turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly and drank the tea in the cup in his hand. In fact, his heart was beating like a drum and his face was slightly hot at this moment.
After a long time, I heard him speak: "Ahem, it's too spicy. Drink some tea to calm down."
Xu Qingmeng felt that there was something wrong with Gu Yunyi. After all, his lips really looked like they were spicy.
After Gu Yunyi finished his tea, he put down the cup and hurried back to the study. Xu Qingmeng didn't care. After all, there was still work waiting for her in the kitchen, and today's meal took up a lot of time.
Lin Yichen went back. He could not forget the girl he fell in love with at first sight during the day, so he asked his servants to find out whose family Xu Qingmeng was.
The servant reported back, "Sir, that girl is from the Gu family restaurant, and she is the wife of Gu Yunyi, the first in the case."
Hearing this, Lin Yichen frowned slightly, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
He originally thought that the woman must be an unmarried daughter of some family, but he did not expect that she was already someone else's wife.
He sighed softly, leaned back in his chair, his eyes became deep, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"She is already Gu Yunyi's wife... How could that be? Wasn't it said that Gu's restaurant owner married a fat farm woman?" he repeated in a low voice.
Gu Yunyi, he was not unfamiliar with this name, because he also participated in this Tongsheng examination. Although he passed the exam, he only ranked fourth.
The servant heard this and answered cautiously, "Sir, I'm not sure, but I heard that Miss Xu seems to be Gu Yunyi's mother, and He heard from a fortune teller that she was married to Gu Yunyi for good luck.
It is said that on the way back from the imperial examination, Gu Yunyi heard that his father had passed away and accidentally fell into the lake. After taking care of his father's funeral, he fell ill and never got back to health. Later, after Miss Xu married into the family, not only did Gu Yunyi gradually get better, but even the Gu family's restaurant and shop were revived.
The stewed food that the young master likes to eat recently also comes from this Miss Xu. Gu's restaurant also serves breakfast in the morning and set meals at noon, and the business is very hot. "
"Got it. Let's go down."
After listening to the report from his servants, Lin Yichen was silent for a long time. The reluctance and loss in his heart became stronger and stronger. He thought that his love at first sight for Miss Xu was just a sudden heartbeat, but he never expected that this emotion was so deep.
He couldn't let it go, so he stood up and paced around the room, his thoughts running wild.
Xu Qingmeng was busy in the kitchen, unaware that she had become a concern for others.
The next day, Gu Yunyi got up early in the morning and read a book for a while before Zhang Quan came and called him away.
He originally wanted him to eat before leaving, but was stopped by Xu Qingmeng.
"No matter how delicious the food at home is, sometimes it can't stand up to the novel taste outside, so let him go out to eat."
He thought about it and realized that Yun Sheng's little mouth eats delicious food every day, but when he sees people selling candied haws or other delicious food, he still can't walk.
"Did you give him money?"
Xu Qingmeng patted his head and was stunned for a moment, as if nothing had happened.
He burst out laughing. "Forget it, forget it. I think he still has a few big bucks from copying books. It should be enough for him to eat. We can't give him too much, so that he won't go out and spend it lavishly."
But He had heard that those so-called scholars who had read the books of sages for a few years liked to engage in romantic affairs under the pretext of essays and poetry meetings.
It’s good to have no money. Having no money means you won’t do anything reckless. Having no money just allows you to go home.
The poetry meeting was held beside the ancient bridge. It was late spring and the flowers were in full bloom yet to wither. The Bi Bo River got its name from the blue waves. The river bank was covered with pink peach blossoms, and on the opposite bank was a green screen dotted with local teahouses and taverns.
Every spring, Cuiping on the Bibo River is always the most prosperous season. The sound of zither and harp echoes in your ears, beautiful women with smiling faces are by your side, and the colorful spring scenery is in front of you. This scene often attracts countless literati and poets to write and indulge in it.
"Today's poetry gathering was initiated by Master Liu. It seems that Miss Jinyun has returned. I heard that the girl likes poetry the most, so Master Liu invited many students who are good at poetry to write poems for her. You are now the top candidate this time, and Master Liu will definitely call you. You should respond well then. If you win his favor, in the future..."
Gu Yunyi raised his eyebrows slightly, "How about the future?"
Zhang Quan chuckled, and Gu Yi gave him a suspenseful look, "There will definitely be a lot of benefits in the future."
Gu Yunyi stopped talking and turned around to look around. At this time, many people dressed as scholars had arrived.
Gu Yunyi took a glance and was speechless.
This doesn't look like a poetry gathering organized by scholars at all, but rather a place of pleasure where prostitutes are everywhere.
