Chapter 350: No more laughter for the next moment
Zhou Mingshu just smiled awkwardly and said there was no rush.
This is just the beginning. She is still young and you are already making fun of her.
Just as she was thinking about leaving, she looked up and saw a familiar figure.
Qi Rui was wearing casual clothes on this trip. He had no knife or sword on him, only a paper fan in his hand, which made him look extremely elegant.
"grown ups?"
Zhou Mingshu was stunned, his mouth slightly open, looking very surprised.
"Mingshu, what's wrong?"
Qi Rui clearly saw her surprise, but still asked.
"I've never seen an adult dressed like this before. It's really amazing."
Zhou Mingshu blurted out what was in his mind, but after he finished speaking, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he lowered his head slightly.
Qi Rui, who was praised at the side, curled up the corners of his lips, and with a "click", he opened the paper fan in his hand and shook it.
The wind from the fan ruffled Zhou Mingshu's hair, and she looked up. The lord was truly a handsome man. In her entire life, she had never seen anyone who could surpass the one in front of her.
"This is just my daily look, and you're already impressed?! If I dress up seriously, wouldn't you be drooling?"
Rufeng, who was standing aside, rolled his eyes at an angle where no one could see.
I don’t know who is going back and forth in the camp trying on clothes... and saying such greasy words!
"Forehead……"
The adult spoke such nonsense, Zhou Mingshu did not dare to reply, he just kept shaking his head.
Old Mrs. Zhou was still talking to a few other women when she caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing and felt something was wrong, so she went to the door to see who was outside.
This is incredible, isn't this Lord Qi? !
When a benefactor comes to your door, there is no reason not to welcome him.
"Oh, it's Master Qi who's here. It's all my fault that I was busy talking to my old sisters and neglected him."
"But seeing how you are dressed today, I can hardly recognize you. You look so handsome."
Old Mrs. Zhou was already happy, and she was even happier to see Lord Qi coming. Besides, Lord Qi looked really good today.
All the aunts and uncles in the main room stretched their heads over to look. They were so frightened that they forgot to spit out the melon seeds in their mouths.
This...whose boy is he, to be so handsome.
"Mother-in-law, I came here to add some money for the wedding. I brought some with me from Lord Xue, Magistrate Niu and other lords. They live far away and it's inconvenient for them to come back and forth. I will wait until the day of the banquet to congratulate you in person."
As Qi Rui was speaking, Rufeng handed him the tray.
The tray was covered with a red cloth. When it was lifted, there were three large silver ingots and some small silver coins behind them.
Oh my god!
Everyone watched until they gasped.
This is a lot of extra money.
"Okay, okay, I can't refuse wedding money, so I'll accept it."
Old Mrs. Zhou took the tray and covered it with the red cloth.
"Sir, you have come all this way, don't leave in a hurry, sit down and have some tea and rest your feet."
Qi Rui nodded, "Okay, let's leave later."
But the main room was full of people and Qi Rui didn't want to go over.
"Mother-in-law, I'll go sit in the next room for a while and then I'll be back. You don't have to entertain me specially."
"Okay, okay, help yourself. San Ya, treat us some."
Old Mrs. Zhou patted Zhou Mingshu on the shoulder, signaling her to entertain the adults well, while she put away the wedding money.
Zhou Mingshu took Qi Rui and Rufeng to his room. It was not like he had never come in before. They had already slept there, so coming in and having a cup of tea was no big deal.
"Sir, please take a seat first. I will go to the kitchen and bring you a pot of tea."
With people coming and going in the house, there was always tea in the kitchen. The tea used was of the best quality and everyone loved to have a sip.
Qi Rui took the teacup handed to him by Zhou Mingshu and drank several sips before stopping.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I feel like you've gained some weight."
"Ah? Are you kidding me, sir? Am I really fat?"
Qi Rui looked from head to toe again and again, "Indeed there are some."
Although Zhou Mingshu has been working at home these days, she has also discovered a lot of delicious food, including milk tea and candied beans, and she eats a lot of them every day.
It's normal to be a little fat, but is it so obvious? !
Then she has gained a lot of weight!
She raised her arms and looked at herself carefully. She still felt very slim, but she was at the age where she could gain weight, so it was normal to be a little fatter.
"Maybe I've been drinking too much goat milk recently, and I've also been eating a lot of sweets, and eating sweets is the easiest way to gain weight."
"Oh~ Then what good things have you researched again?"
"Of course. When we make wedding candies, make more for the adults."
"OK."
Zhou Mingshu also saw those silver ingots. She was very curious about the shares given by the adults so that she could repay the favor in the future, so she asked about it.
"In order to be consistent, Lord Xue and Magistrate Niu both gave ten taels, and the rest of the lords mostly gave one tael."
"Thank you for your concern, my lords. I will definitely be more filial to you in the future. I will definitely provide you with plenty of good wine and food."
"Hahaha, really, who wants your filial piety? Just be filial to those old guys, and I won't let them get me drunk again."
Qi Rui remembered that the last time he got drunk, he slept on this bed.
The fragrance of the flowers above seems to still linger at the tip of my nose.
"Hey~ There's actually a lotus here."
Under Zhou Mingshu's care, the water lilies in the pot grew very well. Flower buds appeared at the beginning of summer and were about to bloom.
Qi Rui walked closer and took a closer look. There were two colorful little fish swimming around inside.
"I remember that Magistrate Niu has a lotus pond at his home. I'll take you to see it when it's in full bloom."
Qi Rui shook the paper fan in his hand and winked at Zhou Mingshu.
The mischievous look is nothing like the cold-faced Lord Qi before. This is just a young man with literary and artistic temperament.
"Okay, then Mingshu will borrow your help."
Zhou Mingshu stood aside and smiled, looking at the person in front of him with sparkling eyes.
Your beauty is rare in the world.
Zhou Mingqi waited in the kitchen for a long time but San Ya never came.
She picked up a spatula and stirred the pot. The soup was stringy. Did San Ya fall into the toilet? !
She turned down the fire a little and then came out to look for someone.
"Saya? Sanaya?" Seeing the door was open, she ran in immediately.
"Sanyaya, are you being lazy... huh? This is... Erya has met the adults."
Smiling one moment, not smiling the next.
When did this Lord Qi come here? !
No one reminded her and she just barged in like that.
"Second sister, is the sugar in the pot ready?"
"Yeah, it's already threadbare. I don't know if I should continue to burn it."
Seeing that the two girls still had things to do, Qi Rui planned to leave.
"You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll come back for a drink in a few days."
The two girls sent the man to the gate of the courtyard and watched him walk away before going back.
"Oh my God! I was scared to death just now."
"Haha, it's okay. Master Qi won't take this little thing to heart."
"Let's go check the maltose quickly. It would be bad if it burns."
The two of them hurried to the small kitchen.
Qi Rui and Ru Feng rode back in the twilight, but why did Ru Feng look unhappy when he saw the adults? !
Why is that?
