Chapter 108: Currying favor with Chi Wan
Chi Wan remembered that she was able to see Xie Yutang in the morning, and she was still a little happy in her heart, she couldn't remember how long she hadn't seen him.
Remembering the last time they met, the two of them were sad or sad, and she was willing to return to the academy for the days when she lived in the same room, but at least she could see her beloved every day.
Now it's like this, and even when we meet, we can only meet in a hurry, and I don't know how to say a lot of things.
In the evening, Chi Wan sat in the courtyard for an afternoon, her mood calmed down a lot, and she walked to the dinner table and saw that the old lady and Mu Zhufeng had already come.
"Mother."
"Why did Wan'er come out so late?"
"Drinking tea in the yard in the afternoon, maybe the wind is blowing, and it is a little uncomfortable." Ji Wan rammed a reason.
The old lady frowned when she heard this, and couldn't help but say, "You have to be more careful, although it is a hot summer, it is better for this wind to blow less." ”
"Yes, daughter-in-law keep it in mind." Chi Wan replied respectfully.
"Wan'er, don't come out if you're not feeling well, just let someone send you in." Mu Zhufeng also looked at Chi Wan with a concerned expression.
Chi Wan frowned subconsciously, why did she feel that Mu Zhufeng's concern was a little too much, was it her delusion?
Mu Zhufeng said that he would pick up the vegetables for Chi Wan, and said while clipping: "You have to eat more, you look at how thin you are now, if Chi Shangshu knows about it, you still think I am abusing you." ”
Chi Wan's brows furrowed even deeper, something was wrong, Mu Zhufeng's appearance was definitely not right.
The old lady also felt that Chi Wan was too thin, and she had been getting thinner and thinner since she came.
"Yes, Wan'er, eat more, but Feng'er, are you sandwiching too much." The old lady lowered her head and saw that Chi Wan's bowl was full of vegetables.
Chi Wan sighed lightly: "I can't eat so much." ”
"It's okay, you eat more, you see how thin you have become." After Mu Zhufeng finished speaking, he also served vegetables for his mother.
The old lady smiled, but she was also very happy.
Halfway through eating, Mu Zhufeng first remembered something, and said: "Wan'er, if you don't have anything to do tomorrow, go out for a walk with me, I heard that there are a lot of new hairpins in the Jade Building, you take this one with you every day, buy some new ones." ”
When Ji Wan heard this, she didn't have too many expressions, if she was another woman, she would have agreed a long time ago.
"No need, I like this hairpin very much." Chi Wan rejected him, and the reason why she liked it was because this was given to her by Xie Yutang.
It's also the only important item she can wear on her body.
Mu Zhufeng's eyes dimmed instantly, he knew that this hairpin was given to her by Xie Yutang, but he was more unwilling in his heart, his talents, appearance, and everything were stronger than Xie Yutang, why couldn't she see his existence, where was he inferior to Xie Yutang.
The old lady saw that Mu Zhufeng was depressed, and was a little dissatisfied, in the end it was her own son, so she naturally hoped that he could be happy, and said to Chi Wan: "Wan'er, Feng'er's wishes, you will agree, if you change to other concubines, you would have been happy and didn't know what to do, why did you refuse?" ”
Chi Wan saw her speak, "Mother, my daughter-in-law really doesn't need it, besides, I also have the heart of the jewelry general, I understand it, the expenses in the house are very large, it is better to be frugal." ”
"No matter how expensive it is, you won't be short of a set of jewelry." The old lady put down her chopsticks, and her face became a little ugly.
Ji Wan knew that she was angry, and it was not easy to postpone it, so she put down her chopsticks in frustration.
"Since the general said so, I have no choice but to accept it, mother, general, you eat slowly, and your daughter-in-law is full." Ji Wan got up and walked around her room without looking back.
Xiuxiu followed behind, and when she saw that she was far away, she asked, "Miss, why don't you want to." ”
Chi Wan was silent, in her heart, no jewelry could match the hairpin given by Xie Yutang.
Mu Zhufeng looked at Chi Wan's back without looking back, and the loss in his heart was even greater.
The next day, before Ji Wan got up, she heard a noisy noise, and she couldn't sleep if she wanted to, so she got up and got dressed and walked out, looking at the yard full of people, Chi Wan asked Xiuxiu, "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss, the slave doesn't know very well, that is, the general let me come." Xiuxiu also looked puzzled.
The housekeeper came over and said respectfully: "Madam, it was the general who asked the slave to come over, and the general said that the lady likes flowers, so let the servant plant the yard full of flowers, so that the lady is pleasing to the eye." And there are flowers all year round, which is also convenient for Mrs. to see. With that, he turned to the gardener.
Chi Wan didn't bother to care, feel free, when she was about to enter the house, she saw someone at the door walking in with something, Chi Wan frowned, pointed to the things in their hands and said, "These are also what the general wants you to take?" ”
"Yes, the general said, there are very few jewelry for Madame, these are custom-made jewelry and clothes, so that Madame can wear them at various palace banquets in the future." Mama put the things directly in Chi Wan's house, and when Chi Wan went in, she found that everything was already piled up, and there was no place to put her feet.
After Mama was gone, Chi Wan looked at these jewels and had a headache, if it weren't for Xie Yutang's appearance, she might be moved by Mu Zhufeng's behavior.
But there is no if, meeting the right person at the right time, meeting the wrong person at the wrong time, this is something that no one can change.
She has to admit that Mu Zhufeng's tolerance of her is really moving, but touching and emotion are different.
She never had any feelings for Mu Zhufeng, and she never thought that she would become his wife.
Xiuxiu looked at the room full of jewelry, and her heart was excited, she grew up in the countryside, and she saw that a single ingot of silver was very rare, let alone so many treasures.
This is especially true of this jewelry.
Each one is so beautiful.
"Miss, where do you put these things?"
Chi Wan retracted her thoughts and sighed lightly: "Leave the jewelry behind, and move the other things to the warehouse." "She doesn't need these calligraphy and paintings, and she can't read them.
Xiuxiu asked Xiaobi and Xiaohe to move their things, and Ji Wan sat on the dresser, looking at things, and was more sure of an idea.
When Xiuxiu returned, she told her that if the general came back, let him come over. Xiuxiu didn't understand, but did it anyway.
Chi Wan looked at the flowers in the yard, maybe it was because they had just been planted, they looked a little wilted, and they didn't have any spirit at all, and they did bloom in any season.
Presumably, Mu Zhufeng must have wasted a lot of thoughts.
Let the gardener transplant everything.
Xiaobi and Xiaohe said enviously: "Madam, the general is so good to you. ”
Chi Wan smiled bitterly, she really didn't need this kind of goodness.
The more this is the case, the more the burden on her body increases, if he is cold to himself, his heart is a little better, but the more enthusiastic he is, the more uncomfortable it is.
"Xiuxiu make me a cup of tea." Ji Wan wanted to sit here and drink tea, as if since she came here, she especially liked to drink tea quietly.
If only she hadn't thought about doing something before.
Xiuxiu got up in the morning and said that she had forgotten something, "Miss, the slave maid forgot, the tea is gone, the slave maid went outside to buy some." ”
Chi Wan took a look, the tea was gone, did she drink so much?
Xiuxiu seemed to see through her thoughts, "Miss, you have been drinking tea in the morning and evening recently, so naturally you are using it quickly, and the slave maid was too busy this morning, so I forgot about it." ”
"Then you won't buy it." Ji Wan looked at her amusedly.
Xiuxiu hurriedly ran out to buy it, knowing that Ji Wan liked to drink good tea, so she bought a lot of good tea.
Mu Zhufeng came back, Xiaobi directly asked her to go to Chi Wan, Mu Zhufeng thought that he was not satisfied with his arrangement this morning? But I still went to find Ji Wan.
Ji Wan sat in the yard and quietly looked at the flowers in the yard. I don't know what I'm thinking.
"What are you looking at?"
Ji Wan didn't notice Mu Zhufeng's arrival, and was startled when she heard the voice.
"When did you come here?"
Mu Zhufeng walked over and sat on the side, frowning lightly: "Don't you like to drink tea?" Why didn't you make tea? ”
"The tea is gone, so I asked Xiuxiu to buy it." Ji Wan said calmly.
Mu Zhufeng asked Xiaobi to go to the warehouse to get it, his tea leaves are all special tea, they are all brewed when they come to the guests, and the family uses ordinary tea.
The tea was brought, Xiaobi also brewed it, and smelled the tea fragrance from a long distance, which was very light and fragrant.
"If it's gone, let Xiaobi go to the warehouse to get it." Mu Zhufeng poured a cup for Chi Wan, poured a cup for himself, and took a shallow sip.
Chi Wan took a sip, it was really good tea, and it was mellow and fragrant, I believe it was for entertaining some distinguished guests, otherwise the house would have taken it out and used it, and it was also a valuable tea.
"The tea is a special supply from other countries, the prince kept it, and gave me the rest, how does it taste very good." Mu Zhufeng said with a smile on his face.
Chi Wan nodded lightly, it is indeed very good, the tea in the house is much inferior to this.
"Wan'er, is there something you called me over?"
"General, I have a little bit of a flower and I want you to say more." Ji Wan almost forgot what she was going to say.
Mu Zhufeng frowned subconsciously, General? Until now, he still calls him General, but he remembers that she called Xie Yutang Yutang.
"Wan'er, don't call me a general in the future, I'm your husband."
"Husband?" Chi Wan asked him with a puzzled face, is it possible, does he want her to call him husband? It's really unaccustomed.
"No, you can just call me Everest. Don't call me a general, you are my wife, you don't need to be so polite. Mu Zhufeng said simply.
Chi Wan frowned, but she still agreed, "Okay, Everest, I called you over to tell you, don't give me these things in the future, I don't need it." ”
Mu Zhufeng was slightly stunned, he had a bad premonition in his heart, he didn't refuse to give her things before, but now he actually said that he didn't need it?
Did he do something wrong?
