Chapter 130 Drinking?
Xu Qingmeng shook her head, actually it was just a worry in her heart.
Xu Qingmeng glanced inside and asked, "What is Boss Shen talking about with Yun Yi?"
In the main room, he and Gu Yunyi sat opposite each other, with a cup in front of each of them. He would pick up the cup and take a sip from time to time, and then talk to Gu Yunyi passionately. It looked like... he was drinking?
He said without even raising her head: "I think it's because Madam Shen was upset after she became pregnant, so she told Yun Yi the words between men."
Xu Qingmeng originally wanted to go over and talk to Shen Jinwen about Madam Shen, but after seeing the situation, he stopped.
At this time, Gu Yunyi inside saw Xu Qingmeng coming back. He turned around and said something to Shen Jinwen, and the two of them got up and walked out.
Shen Jinwen quickly asked Xu Qingmeng about his wife. When he heard her say that she had eaten a lot, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Madam Gu, I'm really in trouble today. I'll go back and take a look first. I won't bother you any more."
Xu Qingmeng still reminded him that their Aunt Wang might have something to say to him, and he didn't say anything else.
Gu Yunyi sent the person to the door, turned around and saw Xu Qingmeng going to the main room, so he followed him there.
Mrs. He, Mrs. Tang and Aunt Li looked at each other and then smiled.
Xu Qingmeng cleared the cups on the table, picked one up and sniffed it, then smiled and said, "You guys were drinking tea and talking for a long time?"
Gu Yunyi cleaned up together, then looked at her and said, "Yes, what else do you think we should drink?"
"Of course it's wine." Xu Qing was dreaming of something, and then he whispered, "I heard from mom before that you can drink a lot. When you were ten years old, you could drink with dad in the yard, and you could drink a small jar at a time."
Gu Yunyi's face turned red immediately, and he coughed twice to cover up his discomfort at the moment: "Ahem, those were all things from our youth. When did mother tell you about them? How come I didn't know?"
Alas, my mother really does tell Meng Niang about her dark history all the time. It happened many years ago. I was drunk and lay in bed at home for two days. I was also abducted by my own father. I really don’t want to mention it at all.
"It's interesting to talk about these memories from my youth!"
Gu Yunyi paused, then said: "Oh? Really? I wonder if there are any interesting things about your childhood. Why don't you tell me about them so that I can be happy too."
Xu Qingmeng shook her head: "I have been sensible since I was young, there is nothing interesting about it."
"That's really a pity." He shook his head, pretending to feel regretful.
"Okay, okay, don't feel sorry. If you don't want to read, go and shell some peanuts. I've thought of a new snack and I plan to make it for everyone tonight."
"Okay, I am happy to serve you."
Then she pointed to the half-filled bag of peanuts behind the door and said, "Here they are."
Gu Yunyi was surprised: "So many?"
"Yes, we have to finish peeling it today. Thank you for your hard work, husband. I will go to rest first."
“······”
Shen Jinwen handled it quickly, and Xu Qingmeng heard the news soon.
It was He who secretly told her that the little maid in Shen Jinwen's house was driven away, and a maid who could cook was specially hired to come to the house to help.
Although the Shen family did not tell anyone, the neighbors were not blind. After all, when a young maid was replaced by a woman in her forties, who could not guess something?
However, because Shen Jinwen usually knows how to behave, and Shen Ji is very open-minded and has ways that others don't have, everyone still respects him and doesn't ask too many questions.
But there were also some mild messages saying that Madam Shen was a jealous woman with extraordinary means, which made the young girls and widows in the alley who had some thoughts in their minds quiet down.
He also praised Shen Jinwen to Xu Qingmeng behind his back, saying that Shen Jinwen was a good man who valued friendship and responsibility, and asked Xu Qingmeng to keep an eye on Gu Yunyi.
"Sometimes, regardless of whether a man has an affair or not, as long as the woman outside has some means and is more open, there are ways to force the man to submit. So, a man's willpower is unreliable. You have to be more careful. After Yun Yi passes the imperial examination, don't let anyone get close to him."
Xu Qingmeng was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. To a certain extent, He, as a mother, was more worried about Gu Yunyi's misbehavior than she, as a wife.
She nodded quickly, but was actually just trying to please him. Then she remembered what Madam Shen said.
But given her personality, she might not be able to keep an eye on her partner all the time, and she also couldn't let herself get stuck on unnecessary things.
Judging from the current situation, even if she and Gu Yunyi had a child, if he did something to let her down, she would definitely break off all ties with him and never look back.
In late July, He began to plan to pack Gu Yunyi's luggage and let him take it to the provincial capital.
This year's college entrance examination is in mid-August, and Gu Yunyi will still go there in advance, around the end of July.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter nowadays, and dry food and cakes are not easy to keep, so you still need to go to the provincial capital to buy food. Even if you buy dry food on the morning of the exam, it will not last more than three days.
After Xu Qingmeng discussed with He, they decided to only bring him some instant noodles and Sanzi, and two cans of mushroom beef sauce.
However, Sanzi is quite greasy and cannot be eaten every meal, so Gu Yunyi did not plan to bring too much. He bought food for one day on the day of the exam and ate Sanzi and instant noodles for the next two days. He could bear it and it would pass quickly.
He also asked around among those who had taken imperial examinations over the years to see what kind of food they brought with them, or what recipes they had for cooling off, but each time ended in disappointment.
The importance of imperial examinations is such that for students, they have already spent ten years studying hard, so even if they eat stale food for two days, it is no big deal.
At night, Xu Qingmeng was lying on the bed and said, "It will probably be very hot in August this year. It's easy to get heatstroke. It won't be as comfortable as you last time. You have to be careful. Now that there is money at home, don't be reluctant to spend it like last time."
Gu Yunyi only had a single corner of the quilt draped over his body, but even so he still felt a little hot.
"If you're worried, why not come with me? You've been pregnant for four months, so I think there shouldn't be any problems. There are a lot of new things in this city, and you can go around and help me take care of it, so I don't have to be reluctant to spend money."
