Rebirth of filling the house

When the sun was shining in the afternoon, Zi Yan went to the main room in high spirits. Xu Ruoshui didn't want to talk to her at first, but if the people in the room didn't return home that night and something happened, she would be the first to be held accountable.

"The young master was clamoring to find you last night, but I didn't know that you never came back after waiting all night. Where did you go that night?" Xu Ruoshui put down the needle and thread in his hand and asked Zi Yan to sit on the kang.

After not seeing each other all night, Zi Yan's eyes were so soft that they could drip with water. Her complexion was pink and as lustrous as a round pearl. If someone didn't know better, they would think that she was the master of this room.

He compared Xu Ruoshui.

Zi Yan didn't take Xu Ruoshui seriously at all, and said, "Yesterday, my family brought a letter saying that my mother was sick and asked me to go back and have a look. I traveled all the way, so I didn't come back all night."

The explanation was quite clear. Xu Ruoshui remembered what Mrs. Hu said. Zi Yan's parents were both stewards working in the village. How could they ask their daughter to go back when they were sick? This was very strange, especially since her daughter was the eldest young master's first wife.

, the eldest young master is the master. Even if he is sick, he cannot ask his daughter to go back. Even if he is terminally ill and wants to die, he has to go through Mrs. Meng.

"I understand. If this is the case, you should go back and have a good rest. I will have dinner delivered to your room."

"Then I will go back first," Zi Yan said as she got up and turned around. She didn't know how much this young mistress weighed. Wasn't she just a wooden head?

After Zi Yan left, Xu Ruoshui asked Yan'er to go to the front yard to pick up Meng Tianbo. Before leaving, he told her to go to the concierge in the outer yard and ask Zi Yan's family who asked for the message and when Zi Yan went out.

.

Yan'er responded one by one.

Xu Ruoshui just started to pull some threads and gestured on a peach-colored handkerchief. Meng Tianqi was going to marry Fang Liying in one month. He had to prepare a small gift, but he wanted to get close to the Fang family leader.

Being a young lady is really not an easy task. Looking at her arrogance and looking down on others, you can tell that she must be arrogant. She doesn't know what kind of family the Fang family is.

Xu Ruoshui gave up the small gift for Miss Fang. She thought she didn't think much of her own things, so she might as well prepare them for Wang Mengjiao first. However, the peach-colored base cloth flattered her too much. After thinking about it, she still picked a piece of pink fabric.

, as for embroidering something, that is of course what she hates the most.

Yan'er led Meng Tianbo back, only to see him looking listless.

"The gentleman left you a difficult problem. The eldest young master thought he was stumped and didn't say anything during the whole journey," Yan'er explained. Meng Tianbo didn't enter the bedroom after entering the house, but his playful smile was a bit different from usual.

"How's the matter I asked you to inquire about?" Xu Ruoshui saw Meng Tianbo bring out some papers, so he pulled down half of the curtain. He didn't dare to hang it all down, because he was afraid that if Meng Tianbo went out, he wouldn't know it.

"My servant asked clearly and said that someone from Zhuangzi brought some fresh fruits and vegetables over yesterday, but Zi Yan was not seen going out, and no one brought a message saying that her family members were sick."

"This is strange."

The two of them couldn't figure it out. If Zi Yan hadn't gone out, where would she have gone that night?

"Bang." There was a sound in the flower hall. Xu Ruoshui hurried out and saw Meng Tianbo's face covered with ink. Not only that, his face was also covered with sweat.

Ink spilled all over the table, the paper was messy, but there were strange shapes on it.

"Tianbo, why are you doing this?"

"Madam, I don't know the questions that Mr. asked," Meng Tianbo said with a sad face, looking like he was about to shed tears.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, just think about it slowly. A man beats his husband but can't cry. It's a joke." Xu Ruoshui took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and asked, "What happened to Mr.

question?"

"The teacher said that if you draw a circle with your left hand and a square with your right hand, you can be called a smart person if you do both at the same time. I can't. Look at the circle I drew, whether it is round or square." He picked up two pieces of paper and said, "

I've been painting for a long time, but I still haven't done it well."

Yu Wenjun asked such a weird question that even a normal person couldn't do. Could it be that he deliberately made things difficult?

"Forget it if you don't know. It's not a big deal," Xu Ruoshui wanted to freshen up Meng Tianbo, but ink not only spilled all over the table, but also stained some of his clothes.

"No, sir, he also said that if he can't finish it, there will be no class tomorrow." Meng Tianbo's temper got worse, and Xu Ruoshui couldn't calm down no matter how hard he tried.

She and Yan'er looked at each other in confusion. What kind of gentleman is this, embarrassing a student like this?

"Forget it, let him go. Just keep an eye on him while I go to the kitchen." Xu Ruoshui thought that Zi Yan was a little weird. If she didn't ask clearly, she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully that night.

The small kitchen is usually used for boiling water and making soup. The dishes delivered from the big kitchen in the house are placed in the small kitchen and then taken to the main room. It is a coincidence that when Xu Ruoshui went there, the mother-in-law was bringing food.

I came here with the food box just in time to deliver the meal, and everyone's rules were strictly followed.

The meal was divided into two portions, one of which was sent to the flower hall of the main house by Mrs. Hu, and the other was sent to the side room by Xu Ruoshui herself. Zi Yan was surprised for a moment, and then she didn't think it was anything. It's not a good idea to be fawning over someone.

.

There are four dishes for one soup, including rich braised quail, a list of delicious green side dishes, and the most touching thing is the roasted chicken, with crispy skin, tender meat, and rich juiciness.

Zi Yan was so hungry that she attacked the chicken leg.

Xu Ruoshui stretched out her hand and said, "Miss Zi Yan is a little anxious. We can have a quiet meal today, why not drink some wine first?" There was a small pot and two small cups on the bottom of the food box.

.

Xu Ruoshui picked up two glasses of wine and drank it down in one gulp, "Miss Zi Yan, are you afraid that I will poison you?"

Although it is a joke, it is a common occurrence in big mansions.

Zi Yanyan smiled and said, "Young lady, I'm afraid I may be too drunk."

"It's okay. I'll let the young master sleep in my room later. You can rest early." Xu Ruoshui said, "Where else do you want to go after dinner? Just rest."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zi Yan's eyes, and she quickly raised her wine glass and said, "Then it's better to obey my orders than to be respectful. I'll give you a glass of wine." When it comes to drinking capacity, the people around her can't match her.

Over good wine and good food, the two exchanged a few words from time to time, which were nothing more than some interesting stories about Meng Tianbo, but coming from Zi Yan's mouth, it was somewhat sarcastic.

After gathering the leftovers on the table, Xu Ruoshui left the back room and stood outside the door for a while. After seeing the lights inside go out, he went to the main room.
