There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 404 Grapefruit Tea (Part [-])
Today's dinner is rich, not only fresh vegetables, stewed fish soup, but also roast chicken.

Li Jiaoniang took out the roast chicken she bought, Luo Cheng cut it into pieces and placed them on a white porcelain plate.

The shiny red crispy skin, against the white plate, is very tempting.

Seeing that there are many dishes, Xiang Erbao happily went to buy wine.

It was cold, drinking warm wine to warm the stomach, Chunya excitedly found a small stove, and put the wine jar in a copper pot filled with hot water to warm it.

Li Jiaoniang saw Zhuyeqing's wine jar, her eyes brightened, she pointed to her own wine bowl, "Er Bao, pour the wine quickly."

Zhuyeqing is a famous rice wine in Yuezhou City, and its reputation is still loud after hundreds of years.

With a dark face, Luo Cheng took the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for Li Jiaoniang, "Drink tea."

Li Jiaoniang said angrily with a sullen face, "I want to drink, why are you pouring me some tea?"

She punished Mu Xuan and Li Peiyu today, and she was rarely happy.

"Forgot the drunkenness last time?" Luo Cheng said coolly.

The drunk woman hugged him, bit and gnawed, but she couldn't handle her anymore, and looked angry.

Li Jiaoniang blinked, "Is there?"

Luo Cheng snorted coldly, "Of course, what memory?"

Zhao Cong sniffed, "It smells so good, I want to drink it too." He picked up the bowl and handed it to Xiang Erbao.

Luo Cheng knocked on the table, "Full it up for him."

Li Jiaoniang pressed the wine bowl, "He is a child and cannot drink."

Said to Erbao, "Sister Jiao Niang, he is not young anymore, he is 13 years old."

"A 13-year-old is still a child, he is still studying, and drinking alcohol hurts his brain." No matter what Li Jiaoniang said, she would not let Zhao Cong drink.

But the more this happened, the more curious Zhao Cong was about the taste of the wine.

Those pitiful eyes looked like a puppy looking at the bones on the table.

He pulled Li Jiaoniang's sleeve and begged, "Just take a sip."

"No."

"Lick it?" Zhao Cong lowered his request.

Li Jiaoniang was about to be laughed out of anger, "During the Chinese New Year, I will let you drink, but now, no."

Before New Year's Eve, it was the day for him to return to the palace.

Back in the palace, he would naturally have the same drinks, but here, she didn't want him to become addicted to alcohol.

His current goal is to read books and learn the rules.

Zhao Cong sighed and looked at his father, "Father?"

Luo Cheng frowned and looked at him with a dark face.

This child has been here for so many days, and still hasn't understood?In terms of child care, Li Jiaoniang has always had the final say, so he can't get in the way.

Zhao Cong lowered his head, "Okay, drink tea."

"That's right, mother is also drinking tea, come here, cheers." Li Jiaoniang poured him a cup of honey grapefruit tea with a smile.

Honey is bought in the market, pure natural.

The pomelo is freshly picked. Wash the skin and cut it into pieces, grind it into juice, put a spoonful into the water, stir it, and let it settle.

After filtering out impurities, add an appropriate amount of honey, and you will have a bowl of fragrant grapefruit honey tea.

The method is simple.

Zhao Cong liked the smell of tea, he smelled the tea, stopped clamoring for drinks, and sipped the tea.

Luo Cheng Chunya drank to Erbao, Li Jiaoniang and Zhao Cong drank tea, everyone ate and drank, talking about today's income.

Chunya talked about the interesting things on the street today.

As she talked, she mentioned Li Peiyu, the fourth daughter of the Li family.

"That Miss Li Si is still the daughter of a noble family, she is not as well-bred as the girls in our village, and Sister Jiao Niang didn't provoke her, she just humiliated and abused her when she walked over." Chun Ya was indignant.

Luo Cheng's expression changed immediately. The Li family is not afraid of being beaten yet?
"Have you suffered a loss?" He asked worriedly.

Chun Ya waved her hand and said with a smile, "That's not true, didn't you see us come back happily?"

"That's good." Luo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Jiaoniang also smiled and said, "Brother Luo Cheng, am I a person who is willing to suffer?"

"I told her to kneel down and make amends for Mother." Zhao Cong said suddenly.

Luo Cheng was surprised. "Are they afraid of you?"

"Well, I'm very scared." Zhao Cong had a proud face.

Li Jiaoniang was about to meet Mu Xuan and Li Peiyu, and she said to Luo Cheng, "Today, Cong'er performed very well, and scared the two of them, explain, we teach Cong'er how to behave. What you say and do is right.”

Luo Cheng was a little worried, "There are more and more people who know that he is in Yuezhou City, and the New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer. Just by pretending, sooner or later his feet will be exposed, and the root cause of the disease must be cured."

Li Jiaoniang said, "I will go to the mountains tomorrow to find some medicinal materials. The medicinal materials currently on the market are too common, and they are not effective in treating his amnesia."

Luo Cheng said, "There are many wild animals in the mountains. It's cold today, and those wild animals can't find anything to eat. They are especially fierce. I will go with you."

There are more Xiang Erbao and Chunya in the medical hall, Li Jiaoniang is not worried that no one is guarding the medical hall, she does not want Luo Cheng to go, Luo Cheng will not let her go, Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Okay, Let's go together tomorrow morning, by the way, to see the horses in Lu's village."

While eating and discussing things, it was dark in a blink of an eye.

Everyone cleaned up the dining table together, and went back to their respective rooms to sleep after taking a bath.

……

The kang is ready, because it is wet, but it cannot be used immediately.

But Li Jiaoniang was afraid of the cold, so Luo Cheng filled the two Tang ladies with boiling water as usual, stuffed them into both ends of the quilt to cover the bed.

Li Jiaoniang looked at him very attentively, couldn't help holding his face and gnawed a couple of mouthfuls.

Luo Cheng pinched the flesh on her face, and said with a dark face, "Don't blame me for stirring up the anger."

"I'm going to take a shower." Li Jiaoniang pushed Luo Cheng away and ran away.

"It's really fast, and it won't really eat you?" Luo Cheng snorted softly!
……

The north wind at night continued to blow.

Although the bed was not as warm as the kang in the previous life, but with Luo Cheng's big hot water bottle and two warm soup ladies, Li Jiaoniang didn't feel cold.

She wrapped the quilt tightly, only showing her head, and slept very comfortably.

Luo Cheng kicked her arm lightly at first, but after being pinched a few times by her in disgust, Luo Cheng didn't dare to kick her anymore, and fell asleep in a proper manner.

Li Jiaoniang yawned and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how many days in the night, when Li Jiaoniang was sleeping in a daze, she heard the bedroom door being slammed.

And Zhao Cong's cry, "Mother, mother—"

"The dead child is still not sleeping? It's so noisy!" The gray-haired curly ball sleeping in the nest outside the bedroom, imitating Li Jiaoniang's tone, complaining and squeaking.

Li Jiaoniang suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

Luo Cheng, who was sleeping on the other side of the bed, also sat up, "I'll open the door, is he dreaming? I'll go and comfort him."

Calling mother is also a big boy, crying and calling mother in the middle of the night, it is really promising!

Luo Cheng pressed Li Jiaoniang into the quilt and coaxed the eldest son to sleep, he had to come.

Li Jiaoniang took his hand, "Speak well, don't scare him."

"I know." Luo Cheng stuffed her hands into the quilt, went to open the door.

Luo Cheng opened the bedroom door.

Zhao Cong immediately threw himself into his arms, hugged him and cried, "Mother, mother, grandma is dead, grandma is dead..., Mingxi is also dead, Mingxi is dead..."

Weeping loudly, the voice was terrified.

Woke up Chun Ya in the corner room on the second floor.

Chunya pushed open the door and looked here with a candle, "What's the matter, little Cong'er? Who do you think is dead?"

Luo Cheng said, "He's having a nightmare, Chunya, go to sleep, I'm here."

"Oh, it turned out to be a nightmare." Chun Ya yawned and closed the door, muttering, "This child, at such an age, is afraid of nightmares? Still crying looking for his parents?"

Li Jiaoniang also got up, and came over wearing a cloak, "Okay, don't cry, what did you dream about? Tell mother."

She wrapped a blanket around Zhao Cong's body.

Luo Cheng lit the candle, picked up the warm teapot on the stove, and poured a bowl of water for Zhao Cong, "Drink some honey water."

Zhao Cong held the tea bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Li Jiaoniang touched his forehead, sweating.

What kind of scare is this?
Luo Cheng sniffed and stared at him with squinted eyes, "Cong'er, have you been drinking secretly? You smell of alcohol."

Zhao Cong looked up at him, and nodded embarrassedly, "Well, I don't drink anymore, I just drank a bowl and fell asleep, and when I fell asleep, I saw Grandma and Mingxi died."

Now he is fully awake, not crying, but shrugging his shoulders, suppressing his sadness.

Li Jiaoniang secretly thought, luckily he was not allowed to drink during dinner, if he drank vigorously, I don't know what would happen at night.

"It's okay, it's all over." Li Jiaoniang patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "Cong'er, a good person in life will ascend to immortality after death, and a bad person will go to the region to be tortured, grandma He Mingxi is a good person, they ascended to become immortals, and live in another place, you miss them, they can feel it, but they can't come back, understand?"

Zhao Cong looked at Li Jiaoniang, half understanding.

Li Jiaoniang said again, "People are born with life and death, they just went to live in another place, you always miss them, think about them, but they live in an uneasy life in that life."

Zhao Cong grabbed Li Jiaoniang's hand nervously, "Mom, will you leave me and go to another place?"

Li Jiaoniang, "..." This child!She smiled and said, "No, I want to see you marry a wife, and I want to see your son marry a wife. I still have a lot of things to do, and I will be here for a long, long time you."

Only then did Zhao Cong heaved a sigh of relief, "Mother has to keep her word."

Whether it counts or not is not up to her, and she will comfort him first. "Okay, what you say is what you say!" Li Jiaoniang said with a slight smile.
