Chapter 144
Chapter 144
Knowing that Le Zheng Shuiling didn't like sleeping alone, she would often pull Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Qiming to sleep together, so a big bed was placed in the room prepared for her.
She was drunk, but the sobering soup had sobered her up a lot. She had obviously taken some hangover pills, but she pretended to have lost them and didn't take them. Under the influence of alcohol, she pulled Le Zheng Qiming to sleep with her.
Seeing that Le Zheng Yuhua had no intention of returning to the bridal chamber, he pulled him along as well, and patted his chest and said that he would take all the blame.
Fortunately, she vomited a lot at night, otherwise, Le Zheng Qiming would not believe it if she didn’t vomit because of her sleeping posture.
When he woke up, he saw that Le Zheng Yuhua was already dressed. He wondered whether he had dressed himself after waking up or had not slept all night.
"Brother, so early? Are you going for morning exercise?"
"No, I have to go and pay my respects. You and Shui Ling can continue to sleep."
"Oh, yes, let's sleep a little longer then."
Le Zheng Yuhua left the room, feeling that he had a strange smell. Even Qingguo, who had just woken up, complained that he smelled of alcohol.
"Do I need to change into another one?"
Just as he was thinking about whether to change his clothes, Yinli came over with some water.
"I've met my uncle."
He looked up and recognized that it was one of the maids brought by Mu Xin. She was tall and thin, but he couldn't remember her name.
"Is your lady awake?"
"My dear, the young lady has already woken up, and Le Ying is helping her comb her hair."
"Okay, I'll just get ready."
He was about to leave when Yin Li walked up to him and stopped him.
"Yinli is here to help the uncle wash and dress."
Le Zheng Yuhua was not used to being served. Looking at the clear water in her hand, she thought about taking it and fixing it herself.
"Myself……"
Yinli simply stepped back and refused.
"Do you plan to wash up in Miss Shuiling's room or go back to her room? Miss Shuiling has already prepared clean clothes for you."
After hearing what she said, Le Zheng Yuhua had no choice but to go to Mu Xin's room to wash up.
"You don't have to serve me anymore. I'm not used to it."
"We are the young lady's newly hired maids. We are fed by the young lady and the young lady, so we can't just sit there and do nothing, right?
Yinli could understand that the son-in-law was not used to it. Miss Xin'er also did not like being served, but she had been weak and sick since she was young, and she could not do without someone to take care of her.
I heard that she sometimes fainted and had to sleep for several days, which was very worrying. The young lady couldn't bear to see others worrying, and her appearance of not being able to sleep well and eat well really distressed her.
Now that the young lady has a husband, Yinli dares to hope that the husband can be more considerate of the young lady's health. "
Le Zheng Yuhua thought she was blaming him for not helping Mu Xin yesterday. It was precisely because he felt a little regretful afterwards that he immediately associated it with this.
Feeling that she was in the wrong, Le Zheng Yuhua could only acquiesce and allow her to serve her.
The door of the room was open. Yin Li went in and put down the water. Mu Xin and Le Ying were chatting and laughing in the inner room.
"Didn't you go to Shuiling's house to serve the uncle?"
Yin Li shifted his gaze towards the door, and Le Zheng Yuhua walked in hesitantly. Le Ying had already combed Mu Xin's hair and hurried over to greet him.
Le Zheng Yuhua's attention was drawn to her and she was a little at a loss, and Mu Xin followed her out again.
The way she smiled as she lifted the curtain reminded him of the scene when Baoyu and Daiyu first met in Dream of the Red Chamber, so he quickly looked away.
"Get ready quickly, don't be late."
"Yes."
Mu Xin came over and prepared to undress him. Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't help but take a step back. When he saw Mu Xin looking up and smiling at him, he stood there obediently and didn't dare to look at her.
She took off his outer coat and was about to take off his middle coat when Le Zheng Yuhua immediately refused and said she would do it herself.
Mu Xin gestured to Le Ying to give him the clothes and let him put them on in the inner room, while she started to choose accessories for him.
Fortunately, no one was staring at him, so he turned away embarrassedly and quickly took off his clothes and put them on again.
When putting on his coat, he remembered that the person serving her today was not Yun Xiu, and he was stunned for a moment. Yin Li suddenly gave him a hand, and he was so scared that he almost knocked over the lampstand beside the bed.
When Le Ying and Mu Xin saw this, they couldn't help but turn away and laugh.
"I will do it myself."
Le Zheng Yuhua came out after getting dressed. Le Ying handed him a wet towel, and Le Zheng Yuhua quickly took it and wiped his face.
At this time, Mu Xin came over and straightened his clothes. He didn't hide, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Today I am going to serve tea to the elders. I don't know the rules of Lezheng, but the Taoist family still attaches great importance to the rules of marrying outside. If you don't dress according to the rules, I will not be qualified as a bride. If I do well, it will also make you proud. My husband, please bear with it. You can dress however you want when you get up in the future. Behind closed doors, we are all family. There is no need to follow rules. It will only delay things."
Le Zheng Yuhua calmed down and obediently accepted Mu Xin's cleaning. Le Ying and Yin Li looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Everything is ready, so we are ready to go out. It is still a little dark in the sky.
Before leaving, Yinli brought a cloak and a muli for Muxin.
"There's a lot of dew in the morning, so you better put it on."
Le Ying came over to help her and went out after she was dressed. Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't bring herself to ask about Yun Xiu.
Three people walked side by side on the street. Some shops had already opened and some small stalls were set up. Especially the breakfast vendors were already shouting.
When they saw Mu Xin, they insisted on coming over to give her things, and Le Ying could only block them and refuse them.
Maybe it was Yin Li’s words that worked, but Le Zheng Yuhua actually pulled her away from the crowd quickly, leaving Le Ying alone to deal with it.
"We have quite a few people here who have received favors from the Mu family. Miss, please accept it for us."
"Yeah yeah."
"Please listen to me, my young lady and her husband are going to pay their respects to the main courtyard, and I am really embarrassed to take them with me.
The lady was very happy that you came to drink with us yesterday. You can keep these things. When we go out to buy groceries next time, just give us one more. That will be enough.
How about this, I'll take three buns, and you can take the rest. Thank you, thank you so much."
After much persuasion, Le Ying managed to get away by taking three buns. After catching up with them, she couldn't help but complain.
"Would you like to eat a bun first, sir?"
"Eat if you're hungry. It's fine with me."
"Then I'll give it all to you."
"Why did you give them all to me?"
Le Ying was holding the three buns in a daze.
"The elders haven't eaten yet and are waiting for us. This is against the rules."
"Miss, when did you become so well-behaved? You are really different after getting married." Le Ying took a bite and couldn't help but sighed, "The buns from this restaurant still taste the same. They haven't changed in 17 years. I really miss them."
Le Ying suddenly stopped, her face a little flustered, and she secretly glanced at Le Zheng Yuhua, but he seemed not to have heard her.
Looking at the half-eaten bun in her hand, Le Ying realized that there were many things she needed to pay attention to. She took a step forward and followed. When she ate the bun again, she felt guilty.
"She came to Jimen Pass seventeen years ago?"
Le Zheng Yuhua remembered that Le Ying was two years older than Mu Xin, which meant she was eighteen. Seventeen years ago, she was only about one year old.
It is not surprising that she has been to Jimen Pass, but what is surprising is that she still remembers the taste of the buns she ate when she was one year old.
Originally, Mu Xin was a person with many secrets, and Le Zheng Yuhua just kept it in mind without asking too many questions. Instead, Le Ying was worried and guilty, thinking about what excuse to use to cover it up, not knowing how stupid her idea was.
By the time she reached the gate of the compound, Le Ying had already stuffed all the buns out of guilt until her stomach felt full.
She went over to explain her purpose to the gatekeeper disciple, and soon they stepped over the threshold. Le Ying felt it even more deeply this time, and Le Zheng Yuhua also paid special attention to her.
Le Ying noticed that the gaze was moving towards Mu Xin, and she lowered her head to try to avoid it.
"Will he tell anyone? Should I give him a hand? What should I do?"
