Chapter 42: The Appreciation Banquet
As soon as she returned to Washington, Su Wen was sent back to her room. As soon as she lay down, Mei'er brought an ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Under the service of the maid, Su Wen smeared ointment on both knees. This ointment is an exclusive secret in Washington, and its effect on reducing swelling and relieving pain can be called anti-heaven.
As soon as the ointment was applied, Su Wen's knees were cool. In just a few breaths, the original hot feeling on my lap quickly subsided. Feeling the coolness, Su Wen couldn't help but moan. This time it was so comfortable, and the feeling from my knees was much better than before.
It was only at this time that Su Wen felt the hunger in his belly, and when he smiled and instructed Mei'er beside him: "I feel a little hungry, Sister Mei'er went to see if there was anything left in the kitchen." ”
Listening to her instructions, Mei'er immediately replied with a smile: "Miss, Madame has thought of this a long time ago, so the kitchen has prepared Miss's favorite food." ”
With that, Mei'er explained to Xing'er to be careful, and then went to the kitchen. It didn't take long for her to bring some light and easy-to-digest food.
As soon as the meal was finished, Hua Mu came to visit accompanied by Yunzhi. Seeing that they pinched the time so accurately, Su Wen felt their loving hearts. Seeing that Su Wen was about to get up and say goodbye, Hua Mu immediately waved her hand to stop it. In view of the discomfort in her knees, she finally obediently did not get out of bed.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Hua Mu asked about what happened. Although she did not appear in praise, the relief in her eyes was enough to show her attitude.
After listening to Su Wen's narration, Hua Mu smiled and said, "No matter what you do in the future, you must learn to protect yourself." Hurt the enemy by a thousand and damage yourself by eight hundred, Grandma doesn't want you to do it. Got it? ”
Su Wen listened, nodded hard, and assured with a serious face: "Grandma, don't worry." The granddaughter was ignorant before, and she will never be so reckless in the future. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Hua Mu stood up and said with a smile: "There is also a banquet to thank Mo Shizi in the evening, and you must attend." While it's okay now, you should hurry up and rest, or you won't have time. ”
After speaking, Hua Mu left with Yunzhi. Although she only lightly mentioned a sentence or two, Su Wen had a feeling of enlightenment. Hua Mu's identity is not simple, and the conjecture in Su Wen's heart has been strengthened. If she has the opportunity in the future, she will definitely inquire about the origin of Hua's mother's mother.
When it was dark, Su Wen was taken by Wu You to Baiwei Zhai. As the nominal host of the thank-you banquet, of course she had to go early.
After waiting for half an hour in Baiwei Zhai, Mo Yi arrived as promised. Although he didn't come early, at least he wasn't late, which is a rare thing to hear. For such an honor, Su Wen said that he was completely indifferent. In her previous life, she lived in a punctual society, and punctuality was just a basic requirement for social occasions.
As close relatives of the Hua family, the father and son of the Wu family must of course accompany them. After all, Su Wen is a girl, and she still needs to be taken care of by male relatives on this occasion.
After some thanksgiving, the feast immediately entered the theme. With the big fat man Wu who is good at communication, Su Wen relieved himself to project his main energy on the delicious food on the table. Like Su Wen, Wu You's main task is also to eat. He had long coveted several famous dishes of Baiwei Zhai, and this time he finally met the opportunity to feast.
If it weren't for Mo Yi, the fat man Wu would definitely put his main energy into the food on the table. As a veteran foodie, he also has a hard time resisting the food of Baiwei Zhai.
After eating for a while, Su Wen casually glanced up. It was at this glance that she saw Wu Da Fat's entangled expression. I watched a table of delicious food, but I couldn't eat it happily. For foodies, this is definitely the cruelest thing in the world.
As a half-foodie, Su Wen fully understands this tangled mood. In order to save Wu Da Fatzi's tangled mood, Su Wen decided to take over the responsibility of communicating with Mo Yi.
Smiled and nodded, Su Wen said gratefully: "I thought the prince was joking that day, but I didn't expect it to be my villain's heart." ”
Hearing her say this, Mo Yi immediately shifted his attention and replied with a ruffian face: "Master has always been a good talker, didn't your cousin tell you?" ”
Su Wen listened, showed an embarrassed look, and then said with a smile: "I was embarrassed to ask, so my cousin didn't tell me." ”
Seeing that Mo Yi's attention was attracted, Wu Da Fat immediately picked up the chopsticks on the table. Seeing a plate of ham not far away, he accurately pinched a chopstick. As soon as he got his hands on it, he put the chopsticks and ham in his mouth. After savoring the taste of the ham, he immediately showed an expression of enjoyment.
Seeing that the ham was taken away with a chopstick, Wu You immediately had a sense of crisis. He immediately stretched out the chopsticks in his hand and sandwiched the remaining slices of ham on the plate to his side. This time, Wu Da Fat Man was not happy. He hadn't eaten a few bites before this kid dared to take all the ham away, and I didn't see him eat less just now.
In this way, father and son began the game of snatching food. The more they snatched, the happier they became, and soon wiped out more than half of the food on the table.
Looking at the two of them, Mo Yi couldn't help but say, "Your uncle and cousin are really interesting, and they feel that the food is particularly delicious when they eat with them." ”
Su Wen listened, and said angrily: "Just think you're complimenting them." Talking and laughing are father and son, and nothing is wrong if there are no two words all day long. ”
Hearing this, Mo Yi was suddenly stunned for a moment. Fortunately, it was only for a moment, and even when he came back to his senses, there was a trace of obscurity in his eyes.
After a pause, Mo Yicai smiled evilly and said, "Master is really curious, what are you capable of?" Sir has only met you once, but he is willing to accept you as a formal disciple. ”
When Su Wen heard this, he asked with a surprised face: "This news is actually true, didn't you deliberately make it up for fun?" ”
Glancing at her angrily, Mo Yi said with a disgusted face: "Let you pretend to be my junior sister!" I'm not sick, how can I do such a boring thing? ”
Hearing his confirmation, Su Wen didn't care about the disgusted expression on his face, and immediately asked excitedly: "Mr. really agreed, when did he tell you?" Since the gentlemen have agreed, why haven't I received the message yet? ”
Chao Suwen rolled his eyes, and Mo Yicai pretended to be impatient and replied, "I decided after I saw you go back for the first time." I don't know what Mr. thinks, but I always think that you are different, so I moved the mind to accept you as an apprentice. ”
ps: If you can go to Qingyun next week, I promise to double change.
