421. Rub rice
In an instant, Chai Min's face was as white as paper, his heart was ruthless, and he looked at Ye Zichuan expectantly: "Little, little marquis, I didn't ...... Why did the county magistrate ...... like this?"
"Xiaowei is not a female celebrity at all, and there have never been these things in the carriage, Miss Chai, I can't take your things, it's better to leave them to your future husband."
Husband?
Where does she have a husband?
What she wants to do is Mrs. Hou!
She didn't expect Meng Wei's temperament, and she didn't know that Meng Wei didn't even know how to be a female celebrity, so now she can't say that Meng Wei planted it.
Looking at Ye Zichuan's appearance, there is no dislike at all, but he can't even be a female celebrity, is he still a woman?
Besides, after today, her reputation is no longer there, not to mention Ye Zichuan's identity, even the people in Jizhou City who have the same family background as the Chai family and are interested in her in the past, I am afraid they will avoid her.
Thinking of this, Chai Min panicked, and was about to step forward and grab Ye Zichuan's hand to explain, but he didn't want Ye Zichuan to take a step back and avoid her hand, frowning: "Miss Chai, please respect yourself." ”
With a sound of self-respect, Chai Min's face was blushing when she was about to step forward, and even she could feel the strange eyes of the people around her.
Seeing that Ye Zichuan turned around to leave, she didn't think of how there was room to turn around, so she was ruthless in her heart, closed her eyes, and just leaned back and pretended to faint.
Ye Zichuan paused, heard the voice behind him, and turned over again: "Let's go!" ”
The mighty procession moved slowly again, and it didn't take long for the long pavilion to be left behind, and no shouts could be heard.
Meng Wei had already heard about Chai Min's fainting from the mouth of the little soldier who had returned the burden before, and her mood was crooked.
In addition to the small episode of the Chai family, it also went smoothly along the way, and when I arrived at the military camp outside the capital, it was already the end of August, and the faint osmanthus flowers fell down with the wind, bringing a faint fragrance.
Ye Zichuan still had to stay in the barracks to settle the army, and after the placement, he had to go to the palace to restore his life, so the secret guard took Meng Wei and Zhen'er back to the Protector's Mansion.
Maybe Ye Zichuan had someone deliver the news to the Protector's Mansion before, so when Meng Wei's carriage arrived at the Protector's Mansion, he saw Mrs. Protector Marquis waiting at the door with a housekeeper and a bunch of maids and servants.
It stands to reason that she is a junior, so Mrs. Huguo naturally doesn't have to come out to greet her in person, Meng Wei was a little flattered and got out of the carriage, and Mrs. Huguo Hou stepped forward with someone, looking left and right a little anxious: "What about Zichuan?" I heard he was injured, how is he? Where is it now? ”
It turned out that he was going to greet Ye Zichuan, but I think about it, Ye Zichuan will still be in Anguo City when he is injured, and the news will be transmitted slowly, I am afraid that by the time the news comes, Ye Zichuan will already be almost fine.
Ye Zichuan, as the only son of Mrs. Huguohou, is naturally worried about being injured, so even if a long time has passed, he wants to know whether Ye Zichuan's body has recovered or not.
Meng Wei understood this mood, and no matter whether Mrs. Huguohou was worried about Ye Zichuan and came to wait at the door, in the eyes of outsiders, it gave her a great face.
"Madam, don't worry, Zichuan's injuries have healed, he is now in the barracks for rectification, and he will return to the house after entering the palace later in the evening."
"Really?"
"Of course, and Zichuan is now the hero who saved Da Lan from fire and water."
helped Mrs. Huguo Hou into the house, perhaps because Meng Wei resolutely left Beijing to find Ye Zichuan regardless of her own safety, which made Mrs. Huguohou's attitude towards her even better, not only rewarded her with a lot of food, but also said that the hot weather let her go back to the courtyard to rest earlier, and wait until Ye Zichuan came to eat together.
To be honest, because of the hurry, although there were ice cubes in the carriage, it was not very ventilated, and it felt sticky and uncomfortable when I moved a little, and it was impossible to find an inn to take a bath every day.
Therefore, as soon as she returned to the near water pavilion, Meng Wei used some food at will, and then took a beautiful bath, changed into a suspender nightdress and took a nap for a while, and then got up and went to the kitchen to make a table of dishes, especially crayfish.
July and August are the best seasons to eat crayfish, but Ye Zichuan is a person who is not spicy or happy, but so many people are not good at eating alone, so this way Ye Zichuan is really eating a big pot of rice while counting the various delicacies to eat back to Beijing, among which the indispensable is this crayfish.
Aunt Lin and the others expressed 120,000 points of concern for Meng Wei's arrival, seeing that Meng Wei was only a little thinner, but she was a lot taller, and her face looked more pretty, so she was completely worried, and then they swarmed around Meng Wei and asked about what they had seen outside.
For some Meng Wei who can be said, they naturally don't hide it, this ancient transportation is not convenient, and they are not free, it is impossible to work as smoothly as in modern times or if they want to relax, they can put down everything and travel, so they don't know much about the customs and customs of the outside world.
Naturally, by the way, he praised Ye Zichuan's bravery, and then taught them to make a few Anguo delicacies, and the big guy was satisfied.
It happened that the housekeeper came to report that Ye Zichuan was back, and Meng Wei happily let people go to the flower hall with the dishes.
For the return of Meng Wei and Ye Zichuan, the happiest thing is the old lady, a foodie, he is originally a gluttonous person like Ye Zichuan, and he can detect the subtle differences in taste, so compared to the dishes made by the cook, the old lady still prefers Meng Wei's own cooking, not to mention that there is no appetite in this summer, and he has not eaten those greasy and heavy things for several days.
Ye Zichuan came back for a while, and Mrs. Huguohou looked a lot calmer, Huguohou also came back from the morning court, and even General Weiyuan came, which can be regarded as a family reunion.
Just as he was about to start, a little guy hurriedly came to report: "Old lady, Hou Ye, madam, Master Chu is here." ”
"Chu Frightened Wind?" Ye Zichuan guessed the other party's intention as soon as he heard it, "Needless to say, it must be here to eat!" ”
They can be said to have grown up wearing a pair of pants since they were children, although they haven't seen each other for a long time, and it is not convenient to contact them by letter, but on the way to Beijing, he learned from the secret guard that Chu Jingfeng had opened a barbecue shop in the capital during this time, and from time to time he would personally sit in the town, whether it was a commoner or a daughter of a family, as long as he was in the boudoir, as soon as he heard that Chu Jingfeng appeared in the barbecue shop, he would quickly assemble and leave, even if the shop was very prosperous in the hot summer.
In this kind of busy situation, it is strange that Chu Jingfeng will remember him, Ye Zichuan estimates that Chu Jingfeng is often facing those greasy barbecues, and misses Xiaowei's cooking skills.
