Early in the morning of the second day, Qu Zaichen, Congxi, Yunxian, Lan Chu, Congran, and Luo Yi sat around a table for breakfast as usual.

Qu Zaichen picked up a frying corner, put it on the small plate in front of Congxi, looked at Congxi and said, "This is our chef's own cooking, can you taste it to your taste?" ”

From a moment of stunned, he didn't look up at Qu Zaichen, pinched the fried corner, chewed lightly, and said softly: "It's good." ”

Yun Xian looked at Congxi, and couldn't help laughing: "What did Zaichen do to you yesterday to make you empathize and change your sex overnight, from a happy magpie with teeth and claws, to a puppy who has just been carried home?" ”

Congxi blurted out: "It's nothing, the second son of Qu is to warn and threaten me, let me keep my duty and bow my head in the future, I am under the eaves, and I have to bow my head." I'm still afraid that I'm from a wild background, I'm used to running wild, and I can't satisfy Qu Er Gongzi, after Yun Gongzi's praise, I will be relieved, in the future, I will be in front of Qu Er Gongzi, so deferential, Qu Er Gongzi is in a good mood, or can let me leave Qu Mansion alive, right? ”

Congxi said, his face was aggrieved, his eyes were flustered and timid, his eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were sad, more like a puppy that was poured by heavy rain, frightened and cold, hiding under the eaves to avoid the rain, but staring at the little puppy whose owner did not dare to enter the house.

Yun Xian laughed and said: "Little girl, the play has been played, the puppy cub is too pitiful, the owner feels pity, but he can't put it down while holding the puppy, are you obedient and polite, or do you want to let Zaichen hold you in his arms, comfort and comfort?" ”

When he heard this, he immediately straightened his eyebrows, sat upright, and stood still. ”

Yun Xian laughed again: "It seems to be over again, I don't know, I still think you are a clay sculpture man." ”

Congxi sighed, glanced at Qu Zaichen, who was staring at himself with complicated eyes, and said with a slight embarrassment: "I'll go to the county lord, sister-in-law, and Sizhen in a while, and I must let the county lord and sister-in-law teach me how to be a dignified and reserved lady?" ”

Qu Zaichen stared at Congxi's gaze and said calmly: "You can't do it, the dignified and reserved ladies will not deliberately have ulterior motives and misinterpret people's intentions." ”

Congxi: "Did I misinterpret what you meant?" If I do anything that is not in accordance with the etiquette and does not conform to the second son's mind, will you indulge me, tolerate me, and not punish me? ”

Qu Zaichen: "Then it depends on what you do?" ”

Congxi gritted his teeth: "In addition to the two you said last night, how do I know that there are still those things that violate the taboo of Qu Er Gongzi, or you can directly list a clear record for me, and I will do it one by one, which will definitely satisfy Qu Er Gongzi, okay?" ”

Qu Zaichen: "Madame has always acted uninhibitedly, and it is difficult to make a list without seeing Madame's means." ”

Congxi: "I'm not allowed to jump out of action, do you just want me to behave properly, do my duty, and be a dignified and polite lady?" What did I misinterpret you? ”

Qu Zaichen: "Madame always thinks of me in her heart, and naturally knows where she is wrong. ”

From the depressed blurted out: "You are all day long, either reprimanding me or punishing me, I avoid you in time, what are you doing all the time?" Besides, you've always been moody and tumbling, how can I guess your mind? ”

Qu Zaichen heard it, his face was slightly dark, and he stared at Qu Zaichen, his eyes were sharp.

From the glimpse of Xi, he couldn't help but be timid, swallowed, and immediately flattered and sneered: "I. It seems like. accidentally said a few more words, oh, I understand, the county lord is always thinking of you, her words and deeds must be in line with the rules of the second son of Qu, in front of the second son of Qu in the future, I will use the county lord as a pen sticker, what she does, I will do it, I will learn from it, and I will not attract the second son of Qu again. Is Qu Er Gongzi satisfied? ”

Qu Zaichen's tone was cold: "Are you sure you can do it?" ”

From the beads of his eyes turned and said: "Think about it carefully, in addition to often sending you some pastries and soup, when I see you, I have been staring at you intently, and nothing else, I haven't done anything, I don't know how to cook, I keep looking at you, you are annoying and I am tired, the first two are free, the rest is in front of you, just do nothing, this is not easy, oh, the county lord doesn't seem to talk much, don't worry about Qu Ergongzi, I will definitely try to be quiet in front of you in the future, so as not to disturb Qu Ergongzi's quietness, well, from now on." ”

After finishing speaking, he really only lowered his head to pick up the rice, and never spoke again.

Yun Xian looked at Congxi, and said with a smile: "Little girl, my son is suddenly interested, let's make a bet, as long as you don't follow the dust for a day, and quietly obey him, how about I lose your twenty taels of silver?" ”

When Congxi heard twenty taels of silver, his eyes flashed, he looked up at Yun Xian, and was just about to speak, when he glanced at Qu Zaichen, paused, and continued to bow his head to pick up the rice, no longer paying attention to Yun Xian.

Yun Xian laughed again: "Isn't it rude to break the oath?" Then you just nodded, twenty taels of silver, it's not a little, you don't have confidence in yourself, if you can't do it in one day, how can you suffer for two years? ”

After a long pause, he lowered his head and picked up the food, and nodded vigorously.

Yun Xian saw it, and laughed heartily: "It's interesting." Yun Xian looked at Qu Zaichen again and said: "Don't keep a sullen face, at least you know that your wife is still your wife, she can't learn from the county lord, and the county lord won't nod and agree." ”

Hearing this, he raised his head and glared at Yun Xian: "Are you fooling me?" ”

Yun Xian: "You can choose to learn the county lord and not be tricked by me." ”

Congxi sighed, stopped talking, and continued to bow his head to pick up the rice.

Congxi quickly finished the meal, and was about to get up to leave, when he saw Chen Xing walking into the dining room cautiously and crampedly, boasting a burden on his shoulders, holding a food box in his hand, bowing his head slightly, and approaching a few people, Congxi didn't wait for Chen Xing to open his mouth and said: "Brother Chen, Aunt Chen has made us delicious again?" ”

Chen Xing nodded hurriedly and put the food box on the table: "Mother said, thinking about the snacks sent last time, you should have almost finished eating, make some new ones, let me bring them to you." ”

As soon as Xi was about to speak, Qu Zaichen said: "These snacks, the kitchen lady in our courtyard will also make them, I have already instructed the kitchen to let them prepare some often, so that there is no need to trouble Mrs. Chen in the future, and there is no need to trouble Chen Gongzi to bring them over." ”

Chen Xing was surprised for a moment, his face was embarrassed, and he bowed his head in embarrassment.

Cong Xi glanced at Qu Zaichen, looked at Chen Xing, couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, don't be careful, Qu Zaichen is saying that these snacks are time-consuming, laborious and costly, every time we trouble Aunt Chen to do it for us, and we do more for us at a time, we are very embarrassed, yesterday we also discussed, whether to give Aunt Chen some money, it is considered that we bought it, but I can think about it, Aunt Chen is humble and generous, and will not accept my money, but we have been eating for nothing and taking your family for nothing, and in the long run, If we don't empty all your savings, we will be more hateful than those robbers, and we will be troubled.

I thought that I would simply tell you that I am tired of eating this food, so I asked you to tell Aunt Chen not to buy it for me anymore, but I am really greedy, if you see it, I will secretly eat it, you should be careful. Therefore, I thought about it for a while, and it was more secure to let the chef of Youyunyuan buy it for us, after all, Qufu gave the cook a monthly salary, and it is what they should do to buy food, and I can also continue to be greedy with peace of mind, so I let the kitchen buy some this morning, I tasted it just now, and the taste is okay, so I don't have to trouble Aunt Chen in the future. ”

Chen Xing's face softened, but he still pressed his head against his head and did not speak.

Cong Xi said: "However, if Aunt Chen is free, when you buy these snacks for your own family, you can still make more by the way and give me some, I think Aunt Chen makes it more delicious, just don't send so much, so diligent, otherwise, I feel uneasy and can't eat steadily." ”

Chen Xing originally felt that Qu Zaichen was looking down on him and disliked him, and he should also think that they wanted to cling to the Qu family and take the opportunity to get some benefits, so he refused bluntly, feeling hurt and embarrassed, and having no place to be ashamed, and explained sincerely and seriously from a large basket, and dispelled most of Chen Xing's embarrassment.

Chen Xingqiang did nothing, looked at Congxi and smiled gratefully: "Okay, listen to you." ”

Chen Xing then took off the burden on his shoulders, held the burden with both hands, and handed it to Qu Zaichen and said: "Second son, I borrowed your clothes and boots yesterday, and I went home yesterday to let my mother wash them and dry them overnight, and my clothes and boots have dried." Now the thing is returned to the original owner, thank you to the second son. ”

Qu Zaichen said lightly: "No need to pay it back, I don't wear clothes that others have worn." ”

Chen Xing's face immediately turned red and hot, and he was embarrassed.

Glaring at Qu Zaichen in surprise, he hurriedly looked at Chen Xingdao: "Brother Chen, I blame me for this, I forgot to tell you yesterday, Qu Zaichen has a lot of quirks, this is one of them, what others have used, whether it is clothes and bedding, or teacups, dishes and chopsticks, he will not use them again." Hey, these rich people just have a lot of stinky problems, didn't the ancients say that there are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat? There's no way, who can make their family's great business stand the toss, we can only stare and watch.

I'm not afraid of your jokes, Qu Zaichen and I have been married for so long, he let me stay in his room for one night, and on the night of marriage, he said that I polluted his bedroom, and he kicked me out the next day, you know, although Qu Zaichen and I are husband and wife, we live in our own rooms. What's more, the night we got married, the new bed of happy quilt sheets, I only lay on it for one night, and he let people throw it away, I felt it was too wasteful, and I carried it back to the bedroom.

I've been wondering, if one day the Qu family falls in the middle of the road, Qu is in the dust, picking up leftover vegetable leaves on the street naked, and others give him the old clothes he wears, will he be blind again? ”

Yun Xian laughed: "I bet that Zaichen must choose to wear old clothes and protect his bare feet first, otherwise he will be chased and beaten as a hooligan with his bare buttocks, and he will not pick up the leftover leaves." ”

Lan Chu, Congran, and Luo Yi all lowered their heads and snickered, and Chen Xing looked down at the ground, his face seemed to soften.

Qu Zaichen looked at Congxi, his eyes were meaningful.

Congxi looked at Chen Xingdao again: "Off topic, let's get back to business, in short, Qu Zaichen is so problematic, don't mind, this clothes, boots, if you like it, keep it for yourself, I haven't seen Qu Zaichen wear it, it looks quite new." If you are like him, you also have some cleanliness habits, and you don't like the clothes worn by others, so take them to the pawnshop, which can be regarded as our filial piety to Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen gave us so many snacks, I have been thinking about the exchange of gifts, what to buy for Aunt Chen, but I don't know what Aunt Chen likes, I am still thinking, today I will ask you what Aunt Chen likes.

If you put away your clothes, help me buy some Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, and Yingying's favorite items, and give them for me, I don't have to think about it, and I can feel more at ease when I accept the food sent by Aunt Chen in the future, so okay? ”

After half a ring, Chen Xingcai slowly raised his head, looked at Congxi, his eyes were full of gratitude and moved, there seemed to be something else in his eyes, staring at Congxi's gaze and said: "Okay, I know, I will leave the clothes and shoes, that. I'm going to the manufacturing room first. ”

Congxi nodded, and Chen Xing turned to leave.

Cong Xi glanced at Cong Ran, Cong Ran hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother Chen, I'll go with you." ”
