Chapter 176: Manxi Suffers from Lovesickness
"You're not in a hurry, I'm afraid that when your son-in-law is developed, Li Qiuqiu will have all the children." Hua Manxi teased.
Xu Jinfei nodded when he heard this, looked at the light breeze with a bad face, and said lightly: "Manxi is right, your family affairs can be done with Dayang's, and everything is up to Manxi." β
"Childe-" Qingfeng's face changed, and he looked at Xu Jinfei without saying anything.
"Shut up, go find your Li Qiuqiu." Xu Jinfei swept him with a warning look, and then turned around and walked away.
Watching the breeze leave, Xu Jinfei drank all the wine in his cup, poured another glass, and handed it to Hua Manxi: "Drink two more glasses when you catch a cold, and the wine will warm your body." β
Hua Manxi naturally didn't doubt him, and drank a few more glasses under his coaxing, and finally was overwhelmed by the wine, feeling a little drowsy, Xu Jinfei saw that her eyes were confused, hugged her, and carried her back to her room.
Chinese New Year's Eve has the habit of not turning off the lights, under the lights, Xu Jinfei put Hua Manxi on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and then sat quietly by her bed and looked at her for a long time.
Her eyebrows, her breath, her tasteβ
He will engrave in his mind everything that is tonight.
It wasn't until the third watch that Uncle Zhao knocked on the door: "Childe, you're ready, you can go." β
Xu Jinfei snorted, touched Hua Manxi's sleeping cheek with a slightly trembling hand, and attached himself to her forehead and printed a kiss, then said softly: "My Hua Xiaochu, I'm leaving, you, you must wait for me to come back, I will definitely come back safely, take the best everything in the world as a dowry, eight bridges, be above board, marry you into my house, be my wife." My only wife. β
After saying that, he withdrew his eyes, gently pushed the door open, and closed it quietly.
The next day, the sky was bright, because it was the first day of the new year, the sound of firecrackers to remove the old and welcome the new year was deafening, and Hua Manxi, who had been sleeping grogily, woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt empty in her heart, and when she touched the corners of her eyes, they were wet.
Xu Jinfei is definitely gone. She thought to herself.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Light Breeze and Light Cloud practicing swords in the courtyard, she was overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward a few steps, saying, "Where is Gongzi Xu?" β
Qingfeng and Danyun paused, looked at her, and couldn't bear to look at her: "Childe is out, let us protect you." β
"Protect me? I'm a cook, how do I need to protect it! How could he do that? Not bringing you with you? Gone alone? Hua Manxi raised his voice, stomped his feet angrily, only to feel bursts of blood rushing to the top of his head, and asked, "Where did he go?" You're going to chase it! β
Light Wind and Light Cloud lowered their heads again and whispered, "I don't know." β
"Don't know? So how do we contact him? Hua Manxi only felt that at this moment, not only was the blood rushing to the top of his head, but his throat was a little fishy.
How could Xu Jinfei raise two such stupid guards!
"Childe will contact us." Qingfeng replied truthfully, "Before Childe returns, our responsibility is to protect you. β
"You guys! You guys...... Xu Jinfei! Xu Jinfei is a bastard! Hua Manxi was so angry that his hands and feet trembled slightly, pointing at the light breeze and light clouds, but scolding Xu Jinfei in his mouth, he left the two best guards to her and left!
She's a cook, what do she want to guard! What is she going to guard! Help her chop wood for the fire!
Hua Manxi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, his eyes were black, and he fell into the snow......
"Flower Kitchen!" Seeing that something was wrong, Danyun hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Hua Manxi, and saw that her eyes were closed, and she had already fainted, so she hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Zhao!" Qingfeng hurried to help Uncle Zhao over! β
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, because Hua Manxi fainted, the Hua family suddenly became a mess.
"This Xu Gongzi is really, why can't he stay for one more day! What's so urgent? You can't even go after the first day of the new year! It's only the first day of junior high school, and there is a medicine jar at home, which is unlucky! Hua Lanxiang looked at Hua Manxi who was fainting on the bed, and all her anger was counted on Xu Jinfei's head.
"Okay, auntie, don't nag Manxi. Uncle Zhao said that Manxi was depressed, angry, and worried. If you nag her again, it will only aggravate her condition. Da Yang, who had been silent, couldn't listen to it anymore, put down the carpentry in his hand, and persuaded him.
"Hey, I'm so angry, I can't control her anymore." Hua Lan stomped her feet on the spot, but she was still worried about Hua Manxi's body, "I'm going to decoct the medicine!" β
After Hua Manxi drank a big bowl of medicine, she woke up faintly, she stared at the tent on the bed, stunned for a while, and then reacted and greeted Xiao Yezi next to the bed: "Xiao Yezi, what's wrong with me?" β
"Uncle Zhao said that you were infected with some wind chill and overstimulated." Xiao Yezi saw that Hua Manxi woke up, and quickly stood up, "I cooked some white porridge, you can drink some quickly, you have been lying down for a long time." β
Hua Manxi sniffled, occluded, it seemed that it was really a cold wind blowing on the roof last night, frozen, she touched her empty stomach again, turned over and got up, straightened her clothes, and then picked up the bowl handed over by Xiao Yezi.
There was white porridge in the bowl, and some shredded ginger was cut on it, she stirred it a few times, drank all the bowls of porridge, sweated a little, but felt much more comfortable.
"Manxi, I heard you're sick?" She was about to get up, and Li Qiuqiu's voice came from outside the door, she was carrying a large number of red, green, and green gifts in her hand, which should have come to pay New Year's greetings.
"It's just a little wind chill, it's fine." Hua Manxi stood up and replied.
"You have to take care of yourself, today is the first day of the new year, I estimate that there will be guests tomorrow, I heard Uncle Liu say that he has a lot of distant relatives who know that we are going to have a food festival here, and they have already handed him a letter, saying that they want to come to his house to live for a few days." Li Qiuqiu put the gift on Hua Manxi's table and said.
"Do you have any distant relatives in your family who are coming?" When it came to the food festival, Hua Manxi finally came to some spirit and joked.
"Naturally, there is, my eldest sister and her family, as well as my second sister and their family, are all coming over. Fortunately, the place where the tribute was rented was large enough, otherwise there would not be enough place to live. Li Qiuqiu said.
"And how is your shop prepared at home? Eat those things, but do it? There are also tables, chairs, and ingredients, are they all ready? Hua Manxi asked.
Li Qiuqiu opened a dim sum shop, and also sold tea, snacks, and of course, there were Western-style bread taught to her by Hua Manxi, which also had gimmicks.
"It's all right, my mother and my father have already gone to prepare the ingredients, and the fool Qingfeng also said that he would go to my house to help in the next two days." Li Qiuqiu was still a little shy when he talked about the breeze, and he hung his head with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, Qingfeng is practicing swords in the courtyard, you can talk to him for a while, Xu Gongzi has explained to me, Qingfeng is now my person, and his family affairs are up to me. I promised him that he would join your house. Hua Manxi said again.
"Really? Are you sure? Are you sure? That's great! Li Qiuqiu was overjoyed, asked three times in a row is it true, and happily hugged Hua Manxi's neck, "Manxi, you are really my reborn parents, I, I, I read less, I don't know how to thank you, I will definitely call you a godmother when I give birth to a child in the future!" β
"Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and find your lover." Hua Manxi was amused by her, smiled slightly, and pushed her.
Li Qiuqiu was very obedient, and immediately turned around to find Qingfeng, and Hua Manxi could still hear her calling from afar.
Breeze, breeze-
She rubbed her eyebrows and looked at the pile of gifts on the table, a flash of loss flashed in her eyes. She misses her Xu Gongzi.
This fool, who left the two best guards to her, wonders what he will do? What a fool in the world.
Hua Manxi seemed to be pressing a stone in his heart, and his mood was even more aggrieved and sad than the time he left in Peach Blossom Village. He had traveled all the way from the Northland just to spend a short year with herβhow stupid he was.
Hua Manxi touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck, and his eyes were a little pantothenic.
"Manxi, Godmother said that if you wake up, you should go to Lord Chen and Wang's house to pay New Year's greetings, and she has prepared a gift." Xiao Yezi went out with a bowl just now, and told Hua Lanxiang the news that Hua Manxi had woken up, and then she turned back again.
"I should go to Wang's Mansion to pay a New Year's visit." Hua Manxi didn't refute, she straightened her appearance in front of the bronze mirror, wrapped herself in a thicker dress, and then went out.
Xiao Yezi was already waiting for her with the gift prepared by Hua Lanxiang.
New Year's gifts don't need to be expensive, and they are usually home-made food. The dim sum made by Hua Lanxiang is very good, quite handy, Hua Manxi didn't add anything more, and went to Wang's Mansion with the gift box.
Wang's mansion was on the street behind the back door of her house, quite close, but Danyun obeyed her master's order and still followed Hua Manxi, and Hua Lanxiang had another headache.
Wangfu's New Year's schedule is very large, but the firecracker shredded paper on the ground is as thick as a mille-feuille cake, the red paper all over the ground, the courtyard of Nuoda is full of red lanterns, and even the trees are full of decorations, which looks quite atmospheric.
Today is the first day of the new year, and there are many people who come to Wangfu to pay New Year's greetings, and Wang Shishi is naturally not as empty as in the past.
Hua Manxi entered the door and handed the gift to the maid, but fortunately, most of the maids in Wang's Mansion knew her and led her to the front hall.
Although Hua Manxi has a lot of contacts with Wang Shishi, he has no deep friendship with Master Wang, who dotes on Wang Shishi very much, and it is almost necessary, so he will not embarrass Hua Manxi.
"Happy New Year, Master Wang." Hua Manxi saluted the elders, well-behaved and filial, looking like an ordinary girl.
But this girl is not ordinary, even the plaque given by the emperor can be obtained, even if she is a lucky star in Shishan County.
