Foster son and husband

Chapter 142 Parent-child
The next day, Xu Junying took a rest, went to the east courtyard early to practice martial arts and came back, took a bath and changed clothes, and ordered Cuixi Cuilian to help the grandmother get up. At the round table, wait for her to have breakfast together.

Mei Niang sat down, Xu Junying said to Cuixi: "You guys go eat too, breakfast will be cold later!"

Cuixi looked at Meiniang, who nodded, and the girls walked out.

Mei Niang reached out to grab the steamed buns, just touched them, and suddenly retracted, clasped her hands on her chest, glanced at Xu Junying, closed her eyes with a smile, prayed silently, and then opened them again, Xu Junying was a little nervous, Asked: "What's the matter? Are you burning your hands, or are you feeling unwell?"

Mei Niang laughed: "Today is the day when the general examination begins. I made a prayer, using this table of breakfast as an offering, and prayed to the gods of the past in the world to help my brother and Lao Liu, so that their minds will spring up. If you write a beautiful essay, both of you can pass the exam!"

Xu Junying smiled: "They will pass the exam. Although I don't have time to visit Lao Liu often, I often ask when I meet my grandmother. He has been working hard since last year. As for your brother, his homework is better than Lao Liu's." It's much better... This year, they should be able to seize this opportunity with Enke!"

Mei Niang served a bowl of porridge for Xu Junying, moved a plate of meat dumplings in front of him, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and eat, you have to go to court, I want to see Heng Er! Lao Liu's place, earlier Third Master Tian said that he can cook by himself, and I don't know anything, so let them do it."

Xu Junying looked out of the window: "Don't worry, it's just dawn. Last night, I made an appointment. Bao Ju will lead the people, and send the sixth child to the examination room with the chief manager of the front yard. It should be in the middle of the night. Jun Lang and The third child is not at ease, he might follow. I will take a rest today, and I will accompany you to see Heng'er later, and then I will take him to the Jinhua Hall to pay my respects to grandma!"

Mei Niang was startled: "Are you taking a rest today? No need, it's hard to take a rest for a day, I just go to see Heng'er by myself!"

The warmth in Xu Junying's eyes gradually dissipated: "If you want Heng'er to come back, just listen to me!"

Mei Niang remained silent, and slowly tore the steamed buns to eat. Xu Junying ate two meat dumplings, put two on her plate, and said with a smile, "Eat this, this is delicious!"

The two came to Qiuhua Courtyard, Heng'er was waiting for Meiniang on the porch as usual, he shook his arms vigorously, like a happy chicken flapping its wings, just got excited, then stopped, he Seeing Xu Junying, it's not that Xu Junying doesn't come to Qiuhuayuan very often, at least three to five days, and at most seven or eight days, she will definitely visit Madam Zheng once, sometimes coming and going in a hurry, sometimes having dinner together, every time Mrs. Zheng had her children taken away deliberately by Mrs. Zheng, but he saw them after all, and the nanny or Xia Lian would point to him and tell him who it was, so Heng'er was no stranger to Xu Junying, it was just Xu Junying's indifference. It made him feel afraid to get close.

Xu Junying and Meiniang walked so close and came side by side, the little man suddenly became serious, looked at Meiniang with two dark eyes, and then kept staring at Xu Junying.

Walking to the front, Xu Junying stretched out his hand, touched Heng'er's face lightly, and asked gently: "Heng'er, what do you do when you get up so early every day?"

Of course Heng'er wouldn't answer, just stared at him, and the nanny holding Heng'er hurriedly taught: "Master Hou and grandma are here, Brother Heng should salute father and mother!"

Mei Niang reached out to hug the child: "Give it to me, he's still young, so I'll recognize him anywhere!"

Mingming hugged him, his hands were empty, Heng'er was carried away by Xu Junying, Meiniang was startled: "You can't handle him, he will cry!"

Xu Junying smiled and didn't answer, hugged Heng'er, threw him up, and caught him again, Mei Niang screamed, but Heng'er giggled, two chubby hands clasped Xu Junying's shoulders tightly, He yelled at him twice, seeing that Xu Junying didn't respond, he reached out to touch his face.

Meiniang was sweating, this kid really didn't care to be coaxed, so after leaving him to play for a while, he went to Xu Junying.

The nanny smiled and said, "Brother Heng is happy, he likes to play like this!"

Mei Niang said to the nanny: "This is very dangerous, you can't coax him to play like this on weekdays, you will fall brother!"

The nanny hurriedly lowered her head: "It's only because the waiter has the strength to coax my brother to play like this. The servants dare not!"

While they were talking, Xu Junying threw Heng'er twice, then patted Heng'er who was excited, and said:
"Can't play anymore, your mother is more timid than you, she will be terrified!"

Mei Niang said: "Heng'er is different from ordinary children, he is fatter and heavier, what if you miss and fall on him?"

Xu Junying glanced at her: "He is naturally different from ordinary children. He is my child. Will I miss it?"

Mei Niang turned her eyes to look at him, Xu Junying smiled: "Let's go, my wife is up, it's time to go in and say hello!"

Meiniang wanted to hug Heng'er, but Heng'er refused, like a little chubby bear, hugged Xu Junying's neck tightly and couldn't pull it off. The women and servants who were watching were all laughing, Xu Junying's faint smile was even more ironic , Mei Niang was so embarrassed, she was hit by the sense of failure that she couldn't stand up, she turned around and walked inside with a flick of her sleeves.

Lord Hou has always paid attention to his visits to pay his respects. He and Grandma came at the same time, but it was very rare. Lord Hou was too busy, so he always came by himself in a hurry. It was rare that he had time this morning. We came together. Mama He had already entered the room Mrs. Zheng was awakened, and Chunyue Qiuhong and Dongmei were asked to help his wife wash and dress. Mrs. Zheng was not in good spirits, with a slumped face, and said in a hoarse voice:

"What's the rush? Let them wait! Which song is this song? I came together early in the morning, what's going on outside... Yu'er has been sent back for a few days, and there is no news, and I haven't seen them ask One sound!"

Mother He accompanied Xiaoxin and said: "Just now the young couple were playing with Brother Heng outside. Master Hou is always too busy. It is rare for Brother Heng to be with Master Hou, and they have such a good time... Madam, please hurry up." Come on, they have to go to the old lady's side later!"

Mrs. Zheng groaned: "Just go to the old lady's side. What are you doing here again? I think my body is not weak enough? I am afraid that I have passed through Yu'er's illness these days, and my body is sore and weak. After eating The medicine is gone... I can't sleep well at night, and I woke up this morning with a headache and dizziness, and you guys have to come and make such a noise!"

Mother He hurriedly left the dressing table, walked to the next side room, rummaged through the mahogany cage, Dongmei followed and asked, "What is Mom looking for?"

Mother He found a brocade box, opened it to look, and was stunned: "This is the dizziness medicine that Lord Hou gave to his wife. It was brought out from the palace. After eating some, there are about six or seven pills left. Why are they gone?" ?”

Dongmei said: "Half a month ago, my uncle sent someone to come, and my wife sent some money and goods there. Miss Yu took the medicine and asked someone to take it back. She said it was for my uncle and wife, and she also suffered from this kind of dizziness. Girl Yu said, wait for her to greet the master and ask for some more, and tell us not to tell the wife to know!"

"You, you just... oh!"

Mother He put the empty box in Dongmei's hand, sighed, and looked for another rosewood drawer, found a white porcelain bottle, shook it, and said:
"There is also this Shixiang Wan, which can relieve some pain and dizziness, so let's eat this first!"

Xu Junying and Mei Niang waited in front of the hall for half an hour with Heng'er in their arms, before Mrs. Zheng supported Chunyue and came out surrounded by Mother He and others. Luo Qun, wearing a gold hairpin Bu Yao on her head, but a pair of wiping foreheads covered half of her forehead, her complexion was extremely bad.

Heng'er's shout caught her attention, and she stretched out her hand with a smile: "Heng'er, come, grandma hug!"

Xu Junying walked over, put Heng'er into her arms, and asked with concern: "Mother looks very tired, Heng'er is too naughty, I'm tired of mother! My son has free time today, so I'm going to invite an imperial doctor to help my mother." Feel the pulse, take a tonic, and take good care of your body!"

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay! I've been suffering from minor illnesses since I was born, and I'll be fine after two days of rest. I'm still taking the supplements you gave me in the past, so I don't need to find someone to come and see, it's time-consuming and labor-intensive." , I'm too lazy to move!"

Mei Niang came up to pay her respects, Mrs. Zheng looked at her and said, "You can also teach the head manager to send someone to ask how your cousin Yu is doing. There are good medicines ready in the house, so take some and order some." Sending the items and silver together also shows your care for the uncle's family!"
