Chapter 62: The Grounding Ends

Xiao Jun saw that Concubine Jing's oracle was actually a new day to worship the ancestral hall, and said secretly, after hearing the news, she was the happiest, so he looked at Mengxi with a happy face, but saw that she was still sitting there calmly, without a trace of joy, as if she was listening to other people's stories, a wave of anger rose for no reason, and her face instantly darkened, Mengxi felt the gaze of the second master, raised her eyes to meet him, but saw that he was looking cold, as if he had died of his mother, and sighed in his heart:

"It seems that they are really brother and sister, one will not marry until death, and the other will be like this when she hears that Concubine Jing recognized her identity"

He shook his head slightly, and sat there dignified and motionless pretending to be a lady.

In the end, it was the old lady who broke the silence of the room:

"Originally, seeing that Jun'er was in good health in the past two days, I also wanted to choose a day early for Xi'er to worship the ancestral hall, since the soft heavenly eunuch thinks that twenty-three is a good day, this matter will be done according to Concubine Jing's wishes, the eldest lord and the eldest lady will arrange it in the next two days, and Xi'er is also ready to prepare."

The old man and the old lady were busy answering.

……

After Mengxi and Xiao Jun returned to Xiao Xiangyuan together, Xiao Jun went directly to the main hall, and Mengxi returned to the East Chamber to continue to fight with her big characters.

In the evening, Xiao Jun sat at the dinner table, watching Hongzhu directing the little girl to set the meal, Hongyu washed her hands like yesterday, and came over to give him vegetables, but she didn't see Mengxi, so she couldn't help asking

"Where's the second grandmother?"

"Second master, second grandmother is still grounded, and she will come out tomorrow"

Hongzhu glanced at Hongyu and said.

Xiao Jun slapped the chopsticks on the table, he thought she was deliberately against him, this afternoon the two went together to pick up the concubine's message, although he didn't say anything, but he thought that the grounding was over, she should come over to serve, he suddenly found that he was too rusty with her today, he didn't want to do this, he wanted to have a good chat with her, so he didn't go to the study when he came back in the afternoon, he came directly to the upper room, and caught a glimpse of her back to the east chamber, thinking that she was just going back to change clothes, so he didn't say anything, but when he ate, he didn't see anyone, The resentment that had been building up all afternoon finally exploded.

Hongyu and Hongzhu glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, these two grandmothers are grounded, what is he angry about, and both of them are silent, but they feel in their hearts that since this master woke up, it has become more and more difficult to serve.

Mengxi didn't know this, and slept until dawn in a good mood, and was woken up by Zhiqiu in a daze:

"Second grandma, it's time to get up, the grounding is over today, and the second grandma has to get up and serve the second master"

Mengxi opened his eyes in a daze and sighed:

"God, the holidays are going so soon, it's time to go to work again, it's so annoying"

"Second grandma, what holiday, what is work?"

After listening to Zhiqiu's words, Mengxi came back to his senses, how to speak modern language, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and closed his eyes and let Zhiqiu wait to get dressed.

After getting dressed, Mengxi Shen was lazy, finally sober, Zhiqiu didn't feel funny, this second grandmother, how can she be dignified when she set up a distance for her aunt, the whole lazy cat, the second grandmother is using the grounding as a holiday, it is estimated that she will be banned for another month, she will not feel bored, and she will probably sleep until dark every day.

Mengxi and Zhiqiu came to the small kitchen together, and when the cook in the kitchen saw the second grandmother coming, her eyes immediately lit up, just like a cat seeing a fish and a mouse seeing rice:

"Second grandma, you finally came out, you can make the slave and maid miserable these days, the second master's mouth is really good, what the slave and maid do, it is not to his taste, pick and choose, you don't come again, the slave and maid are almost out of life, second grandma, look, what to do for the second master this morning......"

The two of them were busy working around the second grandmother, complaining.

Mengxi saw that there were chickens in the kitchen, and he remembered that he saw yellow essence planted in the garden a few days ago, so he told the little maid to pick some, wash and cut it into sections, blanch the chicken that has been prepared in the kitchen with boiling water to remove the blood water, take it out and wash it with water, and then put the chicken and yellow essence into the pot together, first boil it with martial fire, change it to simmer until the chicken is cooked, and finally pick up the yellow essence, green onion, and ginger to make a yellow essence chicken, and then make four small dishes such as fried chicken liver with enoki mushrooms, with two cold dishes, at this time the yellow essence porridge has also been done, The steamed pastries were also baked, and they were ordered to pick some, and even the dishes were packed into a food box, and a copy was sent to the old lady, and then someone was ordered to bring the second master's meal to the upper room.

Xiao Jun was sitting in the hall drinking tea, the red jade and red beads were standing on the side, the two saw the second grandmother coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, Mengxi signaled that the two were exempt, and stepped forward to give the second master a light blessing:

"Second Master An"

Xiao Jun was slightly stunned when he saw Mengxi coming in, and when he saw her come forward to say goodbye, he said lightly:

"Get Up"

"Second master, the concubine has prepared breakfast, and the second master is eating now?"

Xiao Jun nodded, and said in his heart, you are all in charge, and you are still asking a fart, I really have nothing to say, thinking of this, I am not stunned, he and she really have nothing to talk about, so he sat there dryly, watching the maid set the meal.

Hongyu Hongzhu insisted that silence was golden, the room was quiet all of a sudden, only to hear the maid's deliberate light footsteps and the sound of putting tableware, Mengxi saw that the second master did not speak, and felt that there was nothing to say, seeing Zhichun brought water, washed his hands, took the handkerchief handed by Zhiqiu, wiped his hands, and glanced at Hongyu, Hongyu saw that the second grandmother looked at her, and hurriedly flashed to the side, Mengxi came over, took the chopsticks handed over by Hongyu, and began to give the second master a dish, Mengxi first served a small bowl of porridge, put it in front of him, hesitated and said softly:

"Second master, the concubine saw that there was yellow essence planted in the garden a few days ago, and I heard my mother say that yellow essence has the effect of nourishing the qi, moistening the heart and lungs, and strengthening the muscles and bones.

Xiao Jun glanced at her and nodded, Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know if Li Lianying was also so hard to serve Lafayette at the beginning.

After the meal, Xiao Jun drank tea, then got up and went to the study, Mengxi also took a simple bite, remembering that since the ban had been lifted, it was time to go to the room to have a look, so he took care of it again under Zhiqiu's service, changed into a water-red camellia flower weaving Mianji dress, and came to the Shouxi Hall with Zhiqiu.

When I arrived at the Shouxi Hall, I asked the maid to pass the word, and after a while, I saw the waiter painting walking out, and saw the second grandmother standing outside the door, and stepped forward and said:

"Second grandma, go in, the old lady and the eldest lady are inside."

Mengxi hurriedly answered, helped Zhiqiu, followed the waiter into the door, turned the screen, and saw the old lady and the eldest lady sitting there, it seemed that they had already had breakfast, Mengxi slowly stepped forward to greet the old lady and the eldest lady, and when the eldest lady saw her come in, her face sank:

"What time is it?"
