Qiao Mei's cheeks flushed, and she responded: "Excellent, thank you Mrs. Zhang." ”

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her, saw that she was shy, and said with a smile: "Aunt Li is always the one in your family who is not good, and her face is always too rigid and stiff, but I look at it, he is the best for you, as long as a man is good to his wife, it is a good one!" ”

"Yes, his temperament is like this, and everyone should not blame him." Qiao Mei smiled softly and asked Bai Qing to take out the dishes in the bamboo basket.

The delicate pastries are placed on the porcelain white plate, soft and glutinous, and there is a sweet fragrance smelling from a foot away, which is a rare thing to look at.

Zhang Niangzi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly put down the work in her hand, and excused herself: "How can this be made, you have already paid for the change of ingredients, how can you accept such a valuable food ...... again"

Even though she said that, her eyes couldn't help but stick to the plate of pastries.

In fact, I don't blame her for this, Qiao Mei makes pastries and buys food with high gambling, which Ayuan specially went to the county seat to buy, Lingxi Town is far away from there, and ordinary people go back and forth on foot all night, which is also the reason why the town is poor and materials are scarce.

The result is naturally not comparable to the pastries sold in the town. In the past, Qiao Mei gave them pastries, and they didn't take her money, but now, ......

Zhang Niangzi had a look of embarrassment on her face, she had already given most of the broken silver that Xie Niangzi gave her yesterday, and now it is not possible to teach her to take it out.

Bai Qing smiled and put the plate in Zhang Niangzi's hand, and said: "Zhang Niangzi don't worry, this is not an exchange, but my husband spares a little heart, and the neighbors who are good friends with his wife are all shared, not worth a few dollars." ”

Zhang Niangzi took it with a smile, and the fabric changed for Qiao Mei became more and more attentive.

The two of them made an appointment, and Qiao Mei came to get it again, so that Mrs. Zhang didn't have to hurry.

On the way back, Qiao Mei also took a detour to the pastry shop to buy some sweet and sour preserves, Xie Huaijin has been very fond of this recently.

Qiao Mei looked at the white and flawless clouds on the side from a distance, and when she thought of the days when she was relaxed now, she couldn't help but bend her eyebrows.

Before the two decided to fake their deaths, Mama Xu told her a secret about Xie Huaijin's life experience.

It turned out that Xie Huaijin was not his aunt's son. That year, my aunt was pregnant, and Emperor Zhaoren was happy, and everyone had a share in the rewards of the palace, which was a happy event.

But at this time, there was a nobleman in the palace who was not favored and pregnant, and at that time, the palace invited a Taoist priest who sprinkled water for the fetus in his aunt's womb to open his mouth.

Emperor Zhaoren believed this, and immediately wanted to give death to the nobleman, but the aunt was kind-hearted, and begged him all night to let him relax, and promised to let Ling Gui give birth to a child and then make plans.

But on the day my aunt gave birth, she had an accident and was frightened by a sudden wild cat and gave birth to a stillborn baby ahead of schedule.

On the other hand, Emperor Zhaoren went to the temple to make a vow, but he couldn't come back in time. After her aunt gave birth to a stillborn child, Ling Guiren also gave birth to a prince at the same time.

Ling Guiren took the plan and knelt in front of his aunt in front of him with the child in his arms, begging her to keep the child.

After Emperor Zhaoren rushed back to the palace overnight, what she got was the news that the queen gave birth to the prince and Ling Guiren was born prematurely and both mother and child died.

Qiao Mei still remembered these things for Mama Xu, and sighed: "Pity Ling Guiren, in order to let the child be raised by his mother, he swallowed oxytocic drugs and gave birth to ......"

Qiao Mei had mixed feelings at that time, she didn't feel anything, it turned out that her aunt's child died as soon as she was born, and it turned out that Xie Huaijin's life experience was so bumpy.

Mama Xu also said to Qiao Mei: "This matter has been hidden from the maid for the mother for most of her life, and she has always been uneasy in her heart, but now that she has come out, it seems that everything has been put down, and there is nothing to remember." ”

Xie Huaijin knew about this earlier than Qiao Mei, so he had the idea of not wanting to stay in the palace, and completely "disappeared" in front of everyone through the war in Northern Xinjiang.

All his things have been arranged, after he "left", it was passed on to Xie Qingmu, and Qiao Mei was the queen mother, with a noble status in the palace, and the emperor had to give up three points, and she would not suffer any grievances.

But what he didn't expect was that Qiao Mei was willing to live this secluded life with him, willing to take off the crested hairpin, take off the brocade skirt, and accompany him to live an ordinary life of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

In the evening, Ah Yuan had already prepared a meal, a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, a pot of braised pork ribs, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage and carp tofu soup.

There are not many dishes and they are ordinary, but Qiao Mei eats happily, Bai Qing and Ah Yuan silently withdrew from the house, and Xie Huaijin personally prepared vegetables for her.

It's been like this for the past few months, Qiao Mei didn't feel anything wrong, and sandwiched a piece of pork ribs for her, Xie Huaijin stopped with chopsticks and asked tentatively: "Do you think there is any difference in today's fish soup?" ”

Qiao Mei looked at him with some doubts, put down the ribs in the bowl, and took a sip of fish soup, she was silent for a long time, and when Xie Huaijin wanted to frown, she said: "Husband, you still don't want to waste food in the future." ”

Qiao Mei knows that Xie Huaijin has been learning to cook these days.

But he was born a noble prince, even if he was not born to his aunt, but in the eyes of everyone, he was born by his aunt, and he was the most noble prince of Nanqi, where can he enter the kitchen?

Xie Huaijin's face darkened, and he entered the back room without a sound, and even his back could see the negative look.

Before the second half of Qiao Mei's sentence came out, he was angry and left.

Qiao Mei bit her chopsticks, looked at the piece of meat that Xie Huaijin had just clamped for her, hesitated for a moment, and decided to finish eating the ribs before coaxing people.

Xie Huaijin was half angry inside, and no one came in, and when he called Ah Yuan, he was told that Qiao Mei had gone to take a bath after eating.

The bath went......

Xie Huaijin only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were beating violently......

Under the crazy gesture of worship and A-Yuan, Qiao Mei finally remembered that Xie Huaijin was still angry, but when she entered the back room, what was waiting for her was a black oppression.

There are no lights.

Qiao Mei wanted to touch the flint and candles, but heard a voice from the bed: "Don't light it." "Cold.

"Good, good." Qiao Mei touched it with some weakness, wanting to coax him to make up for it, but he didn't pay attention to his feet after walking a few steps, and fell straight to the bed.

Xie Huaijin snorted in a hurry, Qiao Mei hurriedly got up from him, and rolled over into the bed again.

She also complained with her mouth: "Who told you not to let me light the lamp, look, I was injured by mistake......"

Xie Huaijin's heart, which was originally lifted by her fall, slowly fell, and he looked at her neat movements coldly, and he didn't say a word.

Qiao Mei knew that she was at a loss, so she could only step forward to curry favor with Baba, and in the end, she tossed and entangled Xie Huaijin to cry and laugh, so she let go.

Xie Huaijin was sleeping outside, he stretched out his hand to hold her and sleep, his chin rested on her long waterfall hair, smelled her fragrance, and his heart suddenly settled down inexplicably.

The person in his arms was still asking with a match: "How is the capital?" How's daddy? ”

Xie Huaijin replied one by one: "Father and mother are fine, everything is fine in the house." Xie Qingmu sealed your third sister as Zhaoyi two days ago, the five girls were married to the same scholar, your sister-in-law is pregnant again, and the doctor is a male doll......"

He paused again, and then said: "Even Bai Yue is the same as that son, and after getting married, he bought a house in the capital, and each of them is doing well. ”

Xie Huaijin's voice was low and powerful, and it was very hypnotic in Qiao Mei's ears, and she heard it vaguely in the end.

I suddenly remembered Brother Lin in Chu Xun's belly in my mind, and inexplicably biased towards Qiao Hui pretending to be pregnant, and thought that Qiao Meng and Bai Yue couldn't go to get married......

Thinking about it, she became more and more sleepy, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.

Sensing that she had fallen asleep, Xie Huaijin hugged her arm and tightened it again, and closed his eyes.

The cool and comfortable wind outside the window blew in, making the rice paper on the table rattle softly, reflecting the faint candlelight, revealing a line of words on it.

I am willing to embrace Qing into my arms and grow old with Qing.
