I'm the villain in the book

Page 152

Just when Ning Yongnian was planning a huge conspiracy against Wei Changtian, the small courtyard was quite lively.

In the afternoon, Wei Changtian went to release the flying lanterns with Yang Liushi and Liang Qin, and took Ah Chun along with him.

Others stayed home to prepare dinner.

Today is the eighth day of December, and it stands to reason that every household should drink Laba porridge.

But Wei Changtian ingeniously proposed to eat hot pot.

He is the "head of the family", so of course others dare not have any objections, so Yuan'er, Li Suyue, and several cooks at home have been busy all afternoon.

"Master, quickly light up the charcoal, the master is probably coming back soon."

Putting a plate of mutton on the table, Li Suyue smiled and said: "There are still cakes in the oven, you go and turn them over, I am too busy to get away."

"Okay, got it."

Zhang San, who was fiddling with the copper pot, was very obedient, turned around and left the house in a hurry, but almost bumped into Yuan'er who came in from outside.

"Ah! Brother Zhang, slow down."

Yuan'er pouted a little dissatisfied, but Zhang San hurriedly apologized.

"Sorry, I didn't see it just now."

"You, clumsy man, go quickly."

Li Suyue came over to smooth things over, pushed Zhang San out of the room, and pulled Yuan'er in.

"Yuan'er, can you help me see if the master ordered me to eat enough?"

"Um......"

Looking at the porcelain plates that almost filled the table, Yuan'er counted them one by one.

"Lamb, beef, duck intestines, cabbage...huh? I remember there were fifteen, why is one missing?"

"Ok?"

Li Suyue was taken aback, and stood at the table with Yuan'er and began to recall what was missing.

The two women thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it. It was the "human-shaped card marker" Zhang San reminded outside the house:

"Tofu, there is only one more tofu!"

"Yes!"

Li Suyue and Yuan'er's eyes lit up.

How could I have forgotten this.

My son loves tofu the most!

......

Just after nightfall, Wei Changtian and the others came back.

Both Yang Liushi and Liang Qin looked very happy, and Ah Chun was equally excited, holding a sugar figure bigger than her face in his hand.

Only Wei Changtian lacked interest, as if he had suffered a great crime.

To be honest, shopping with women is indeed more tiring than fighting.

After hurriedly washing their hands under Yuan'er's service, a group of people immediately ate hot pot at the table.

Hot pot is not a rare thing in ancient times, but it is quite common.

Of course, it must still be different from the previous life, but after several "improvements" by Wei Changtian, the difference is not too much.

"Guru Guru~"

The copper basin was steaming, and soon after the fresh meat and vegetables were put into the pot, Yang Liushi and Liang Qin would fish them out and send them to Wei Changtian's bowl thoughtfully.

Others can't get this "beautiful job", so they can only chat and eat their own food. The small room is steaming and full of laughter.

It is the most suitable time to eat hot pot in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

It would be perfect with a little more snow.

The bright moon hangs high outside the house, and the lively and harmonious scene of Wei's residence is being staged in every household in Shuzhou City.

After all, today is Laba. Even if the family is poor and cannot afford hot pot, a bowl of hot Laba porridge with a few dishes of pickles is still affordable.

There were not many people on the deserted street, either they were returning home in a hurry, or they were poor homeless bastards.

In such an environment, a young woman seemed a bit abrupt.

The woman was wearing an ordinary cotton gown with a package on her back, and her cheeks were flushed red from the cold.

She looks very good-looking, if not for the lack of people now, she will inevitably be molested by some street rogues.

But not necessarily, after all, the long knife she held in her arms looked quite extraordinary.

It should be a heroine who walks the rivers and lakes.

Chapter 173 I thought you didn't want me anymore!

The cold wind blew the red rope tied in her hair. After going around for a long time, Xu Qingwan finally stood at the gate of Wei's house.

She is Shuzhou City who just arrived during the day.

First, he went to the Xuanjing Division to submit the transfer documents, and then he didn't even go to the arranged residence, and ran over directly with his luggage.

After three months, Comrade Xiao Xu was looking forward to the reunion with Wei Changtian every day.

But when there was only a wall between the two of them now, she hesitated.

"..."

"Young master, do you want to try the tofu from my slave's house?"

"Ah! Young Master, I want you to eat the tofu in the bowl!"

"Brother Changtian, stop bullying Sister Liu Shi, I'm really ashamed!"

"Sister Qin'er, it's okay, as long as you are happy..."

"That, that...Master, I'll go and see if the pancakes are baked...Master! Come and help me!"

"Ah? Ah..."

"..."

Yang Liushi's coquettish anger, Liang Qin's envy, Li Suyue's embarrassment, Zhang San's belated awareness...

The bustling voices in the house floated out of the room and out of the small courtyard, seeming to carry some hot pot heat into Xu Qingwan's ears.

She stood in the cold wind holding the bird in a daze, until the vermilion door was pushed open a small crack.

"This girl..."

Yuan'er poked her head out and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

"what!"

Xu Qingwan recovered from her trance and opened her mouth.

"I, I went wrong..."

"Wrong way?"

Yuan'er was a little skeptical, but when she was about to ask again, she saw that the woman opposite had lowered her head and turned away.

"strangeness......"

Seeing the figure slowly disappearing at the end of the alley, she blinked in confusion.

Huh?

I always feel as if I have seen this sister somewhere...

I must have remembered it wrong...

"Yuer, what are you doing here?"

Li Suyue's voice came from behind.

"Ah, nothing."

Yuan'er shook her head and closed the door again.

"Just now the concierge said there was a girl standing outside, so I came to ask."

"What about her?"

"I've already left, saying I went to the wrong house."

......

......

"Crackling~"

In the room, the fire that will be raised is not too hot.

The small room was tidy, with a wooden bed in the corner and a checkerboard patterned curtain.

Although the mud bricks under the ground were spotless, they were somewhat damp. I don't know if it was because of the water splashed in the afternoon, or because of the cold climate in Shuzhou.

This is the residence in Shuzhou arranged by Xuan Jing Division for Xu Qingwan, which is already "exceeding the standard" compared with ordinary servants.

After all, the gossip about Xu Zongqi and Wei Changtian is well known in the entire Xuanjing Division, and Chen Bo naturally has never heard of it.

Although he didn't know what the relationship between Xu Qingwan and Wei Changtian was, he didn't dare to be negligent, and directly arranged such a room according to the "standard" of a hundred households.

"Crack~"

Gently put the bird on the table, and sat by the table for a while, then Xu Qingwan unfolded the package and prepared to pack her luggage.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up.

Apart from a few changes of clothes in the small cloth bag, there was only a tightly wrapped small wooden box left.

"pat~"

The lid of the box was opened, and on the surface was a stack of bank notes, which added up to more than 2000 taels.

Under the bank note was a red demon pill and a thin piece of letter paper.

If the relationship between the two lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night...

Biting her lip, she stared stupidly at this poem that she had read countless times, and Xu Qingwan wiped the corners of her eyes aggrieved.

She only knew Lu Jingyao before, so she didn't know who the women who spoke just now were.

But after all, they are all very close to Wei Changtian.

Have you found a new love in Shuzhou in only three months...

Xu Qingwan knew that she had no right to be jealous, after all Wei Changtian hadn't really married her yet.

But my heart is very sad.

"Dong Dong~"

There was a slight knock on the door, and Comrade Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little apprehensive and hopeful in his heart.

He frantically put away the wooden box, quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeves, took a deep breath and walked to the door.

"who is it?"

"Hey, President Xu, it's me." Chen Bo's voice came from outside the house.

"..."

The excitement that had just emerged disappeared in an instant, and Xu Qingwan slowly opened the door, forcing a smile.

"Master Chen, what's the matter with you?"

"Haha, it's okay, just drop by and ask Mr. Xu if you still lack anything, so I can send someone to buy it."

Chen Bo didn't mean to enter the house, so he stood at the door and said politely: "You just came from the capital, if there are any things you are not used to in terms of basic necessities of life, just tell me, don't be polite."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your concern. There are all the objects in the house, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Xu Qingwan hesitated for a moment, then moved away slightly: "Do you want to come in for a cup of hot tea?"
