Chapter Twenty-Eight: Leftovers

Twenty-eighth, leftovers

Gongsun Shi soon came to the front hall with Wei Deng's tablet, Huo Mei and Wei Ling respectfully kowtowed to the tablet three times, and a cup of tea was sprinkled on the ground in front of them.

The Ya Que in the front hall was silent, and the servants and maids all looked at Mrs. Xinwei in front of them, who originally despised Huo Mei's identity, but also had a lot of good feelings for Huo Mei at this moment.

Helping Huo Mei to get up, Gongsun Shi turned around and asked people to invite the tablet back to the ancestral hall, and Wei Ling put it in Huo Mei's ear and asked softly: "Are you tired?" I'll send you back to rest? ”

Huo Mei looked around a little shyly, some didn't know how to answer, she didn't speak, but someone spoke for her.

"Brother Ling, my aunt hasn't eaten since the morning, it's past noon, so you can stay and have a meal with your aunt!"

Liu Yun'er's words completely ignored Huo Mei's existence, which was naturally deliberate, Huo Mei didn't look at Liu Yun'er, but just smiled faintly at Wei Ling.

"Let's stay and have lunch with my mother! I'm hungry too! Wei Ling's face was relaxed, the smile was obvious, and looking at Huo Mei's eyes was full of pampering, but this kind of gaze was jealousy in the eyes of some people, and horror in the eyes of others.

Therefore, the jealous Liu Yun's mouth was almost crooked, and the frightened servants suddenly forgot their words, until Mama Liu ordered to prepare lunch, and then left the front hall as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Sitting at the table and looking at the lunch in front of him, Huo Mei smiled, Wei Ling frowned, the simple porridge and side dishes were leftover from breakfast at a glance, except for a few boiled eggs, there was no meat at all. Mrs. Wei's intentions Wei Ling understood that she wanted to disgust Huo Mei, and by the way, she also gave Huo Mei a dismount, although Mrs. Wei was frugal, but it was not to the point of eating leftovers.

Wei Ling's displeasure Huo Mei saw it in his eyes, and then looked at Mrs. Wei's cold face that had not changed for thousands of years, reached out and peeled an egg and put it in the porridge bowl in front of Mrs. Wei.

"Mother, it's all daughter-in-law who is not good, let you starve in the morning, this egg should be a gift for your daughter-in-law, you don't want to be like me!"

Mrs. Wei didn't speak, but picked up the soup spoon and drank the porridge, seeing that Mrs. Wei moved the chopsticks, Wei Ling and Liu Yun'er also began to eat, Huo Mei lowered her head and drank the porridge, and soon there were two more eggs in the bowl, Huo Mei picked up the soup spoon and scooped one into Wei Ling's bowl.

"You don't have much for breakfast, eat more!"

This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, husband and wife seem to have a lot of affection, and Liu Yuner only deeply felt at this moment that she was really an outsider.

"Brother Ah Ling, I've been in the General's Mansion for so long, and I haven't seen you cook for me, marrying a daughter-in-law is different! I won't see my sister in the General's Mansion in the future, and I won't know each other, right? ”

"My cousin is serious, since ancient times, men and women have not been at the same table at the age of seven, if Ah Ling takes too care of you, it will naturally tarnish his sister's reputation if he is passed out, and he can't let outsiders say that the cousin of the General's Mansion is intimate with his cousin, and it is not clear, right?"

Liu Yun'er listened to Huo Mei's words, and almost bit a bite of silver teeth, Huo Mei's words poked her sore spot, because no one knew how much she hoped that she could be unclear with Wei Ling, so that she could marry Wei Ling in a grand manner, but this Wei Ling is an iceberg in front of women other than Huo Mei, a nerd, Liu Yun'er has lived in the General's Mansion for a long time, but unfortunately she can't get close to Wei Ling's body, and even if she can talk about it when she usually meets, there are only a few words.

How can it be like now, Huo Mei can take care of Huo Mei after a meal, this treatment has never been even experienced by Mrs. Wei and Wei Ling's mother.

"It's not like she has broken hands and feet and can't move, you might as well just do it for her!"

"Mother is right, I'll feed Madame!" Mrs. Wei actually said that, she didn't expect Wei Ling to answer her words, and she completely distorted the meaning, which made the food that Mrs. Wei ate in her mouth and immediately choked in her throat, and it was difficult to swallow.

But fortunately, Huo Mei did not pick a bad meal, but drank two large bowls of porridge and rice, which made Mrs. Wei's hostility towards Huo Mei have some cracks.

In addition to Huo Guang being an official in the court, the Huo family has a lot of shops and fields in Chang'an City, so the scenery in Sima's Mansion is even more luxurious than in the palace.

So Mrs. Wei couldn't understand Huo Mei a little, and she didn't pretend to be happy to eat, so Mrs. Wei couldn't help but open her mouth with this question.

"Don't you think the food is too coarse?" Huo Mei raised her head and smiled at Old Madam Wei, looking like she had no city, but there was a cunning look in her eyes.

"Mother, what is this saying, there is a way to marry a chicken and a dog to marry a dog, since I married into the general's mansion, I naturally have to advance and retreat with the general, money and pleasure have always been things outside the body, just fill the stomach, can have a bowl of porridge and rice to drink, it is much better than the life of the people outside!"

The look on Mrs. Wei's face finally relaxed, she lowered her head and ate slowly without making a sound, Liu Yun'er glanced at Huo Mei with disdain, thinking that Huo Mei was just saying beautiful things to make Mrs. Wei happy, but only Huo Mei herself knew that any money and property rights were not as important as a man who knew you, understood you and felt sorry for you.

This is also the deepest realization she has since her rebirth, in the eyes of the emperor, she is just a pawn that can make him sit firmly on the throne, with her in hand, Moxiang Pavilion can be under his command, and the entire Sima Mansion will also become his bag.

As for Mrs. Huo, Huo Mei has always been the object of her resentment, Huo Mei does not believe that she is not Mrs. Huo's child, because she and Huo Jun are almost exactly the same in appearance, and they both look very much like their mother Mrs. Huo, so to say that Huo Mei is an illegitimate child is simply nothing.

was in a daze, a warmth in her fingertips, it was Wei Ling who held her hand under the table, "I'll send you back to Yunxiangyuan when you're full, you take a rest, we will use Yunxiangyuan for dinner, so I won't bother my mother!" ”

After speaking, Wei Ling took Huo Mei's hand and left, although the look on Mrs. Wei's face was full of anger, Wei Ling still took Huo Mei's hand and walked around the general's mansion in his own way.

However, not long after walking out of Mrs. Wei's yard, Wei Ling picked up Huo Mei horizontally, and carried Huo Mei to Yunxiangyuan with long legs.

He was hugged by Wei Ling when he entered the door in his wedding dress, and he also came to the front hall to serve tea in the morning, which Huo Mei was used to hugging, so he simply hung his two arms around his neck, and his head rested on his chest, and it didn't take long to fall asleep in Wei Ling's arms.

Wei Ling looked at his wife, who was sleeping unconsciously in his arms, and felt a strong sense of soreness in his heart, feeling that from now on he would no longer be alone, and there would be people who would worry about him when he went on the expedition, and there would be people who would feel distressed when he was injured, this feeling was something he had never tried.
