King Yan: “How are they?”
Eunuch Hai: “The first and the third mastersare fine, but the second, fourth and fifth masters are more or less drunk.”
King Yan snorted, “Not promising.”
He didn’t mention their name, and Eunuch Hai just listened with his head down.
In Changyuan Hall, Wei Yan drank the hangover tea, wiped his neck and face, and changed into his robe before going to see Ji Xianxian with his newly bought bracelet.
Ji Xianxian sat on the bed and looked at him carefully, “Why did you come back so late?”
Wei Yan lied without blinking, “The fourth and fifth brothers rarely go out, and they were reluctant to come back, but when I was shopping with them, I passed by a jewelry store.”
As he spoke, he took out the bracelet as if offering a treasure.
Ji Xianxian took the bracelet, looked at it on her wrist, and said to him, “I didn’t doubt you at first, but now I do. If you didn’t do anything wrong to me, would you show me courteousness for nothing?”
Ji Xianxian asked him to lie down so that she could smell him. Afraid of revealing his secrets, Wei Yan suddenly hugged Ji Xianxian and kissed her. Ji Xianxian scolded him at first, but it took too long to get pregnant and give birth, she fell into it as soon as he teased her, and the couple hugged and turned over.
“You went to the jewelry store to buy things for me, were others waiting outside? Or did they go in too?” At the critical moment, Ji Xianxian stopped Wei Yan in time and asked while playing with the bracelet.
Wei Yan understood how narrow-minded she was, and said with a smile, “Brother was waiting outside, and the third brother accompanied me in. He seems to have picked one too, but I didn’t see clearly.”
The corners of Ji Xianxian’s mouth curled up.
She never took Yin Hui seriously, but secretly competed with Xu Qingwan. With that bracelet, she could provoke Xu Qingwan again later.
After going back to Chengxin hall, Wei Luo smelled of Wei Yan’s alcohol, so he asked An Shun’er to prepare water after he came back.
An Shun’er said, “Madam is not asleep yet, where will you bathe?”
She was menstruating, and Wei Luo just asked An Shun’er to report to the backyard, saying that he had returned, and she didn’t have to wait any longer.
An Shun’er bowed his head and backed away.
Wei Luo took off his coat and threw it aside, then took out the long brocade box from his arms, opened it to have a look, closed it again, and put it in the study.
Chapter 19
Yin Hui’s birthday was on the sixth day of October, and on the night of the fifth day, Jinzhan specially asked the kitchen to make longevity noodles and porridge, just in case the third master didn’t like noodles.
After Wei Luo came over, Yin Hui asked him with a smile, “There are noodles and porridge in the kitchen tonight, what do you want to eat?”
Wei Luo hugged Xiao Heng and said casually, “Noodles.” With a gesture, the noodles have already been rolled out and ready to be cooked.
Soon, dinner was put on the table. Wei Luo and Yin Hui each had a big bowl of noodles. The noodles were rolled as thin as wicker tips, and the roots were firm and translucent. They were supplemented with sauerkraut, shredded ham, and poached eggs, and the aroma was tangy. There were also small dishes such as fried dumplings, vinegar sauce, and hot sauce on the table for the masters.
Xiao Heng also got a small bowl of noodles. It couldn’t be picked up with chopsticks, so she had to use a spoon to scoop it up.
The little guy was not picky at all, and ate everything he was fed with gusto.
“Our Xiao Heng looks older than Shiro,” Yin Hui chatted with Wei Luo. He was not interested in other topics, he could listen to those related to Xiao Heng.
Sure enough, Wei Hao asked, “Have you been to Changyuan Hall recently?”
Yin Hui: “No, Xiao Zhuang is too young, and the other has a cold, so I’m afraid it will bring the chill over.” Ji Xianxian would still blame her.
Wei Luo: “Well, don’t go there.”
Wei Yan was lustful, and he could still hold his own at ordinary times. In case of drinking, if she bumped into him again, it would add to the trouble.
Yin Hui only thought that he was also worried that the two children in the second household would get sick easily, so he agreed.
After the meal, Wei Luo went to the next room with Xiao Heng in his arms.
Jinzhan looked at Yin Hui with a smile in her eyes. She had her period a few days ago, and the third master stayed in front for several nights, but finally he wouldn’t leave that night.
Yin Hui glared at Jinzhan. Silly girl, so ridiculous. It only showed that Wei Luo was counting the days, and he didn’t bother to sleep with her if there was no benefit.
After telling the maids some things, Yin Hui also went to the room.
On the warm couch by the window, Wei Luo sat cross-legged, while Xiao Heng sat firmly opposite him.
Wei Luo threw a tiger puppet in front of Xiao Heng, who grabbed the cloth tiger with both hands, picked it up and bit it twice, and then threw it toward him. Of course it wasn’t far away. Wei Luo leaned over to pick up the cloth tiger, and threw it to Xiao Heng.
The scene of father and son playing should be warm, but Wei Luo had a cold face, not like teasing his son, but training him.
Yin Hui went to the inner room and didn’t bother them. The man on duty left early and returned late, and only then could he get close to the child.
Wei Luo played with Xiao Heng for two to three quarters of an hour before letting the wet nurse take him to sleep.
Yin Hui washed her feet first, and then she wore a pair of red satin soft-soled sleeping shoes, and sat in front of the mirror, letting her long black and smooth hair pass through leisurely. Smiling, she continued to look at herself in the mirror.
