This sleep is naturally not simple.
And it was also this night that Qing Lingyi came to two conclusions.
First, the relationship between men and women may not be as bad as she thought, at least she likes what Chengyang does.
Secondly, there is no such thing as pie in the sky. Cheng Yang makes her happy just to better satisfy his selfish desires.
But this night, Qing Lingyi slept better than before.
There was no Xiao Huang, sleeping with Cheng Yang, and no nightmares.
The next day, she woke up naturally.
The sky was bright and it was slightly cold around me. Cheng Yang had already left.
She unconsciously recalled last night and began to blush.
Then it occurred to her that there were only five days left.
Qing Lingyi was so ashamed that she first raised the quilt to cover her whole head.
After lingering for a while, she calmed down a bit and sat up: "Bi Wei——"
Bi came in with a smile: "Madam, you're awake."
"Hasn't mother come and asked me to have breakfast with you?"
"Breakfast?" Bi Wei tilted her head, "Madam, it's almost past time, it's time to have lunch."
Qing Lingyi was stunned, "It's so late."
She hurriedly got out of bed and put on her shoes, her voice full of complaints: "You... why didn't you call me?"
Bi Wei looked innocent: "This is the general's order. He said that Madam was tired yesterday and asked all of us not to disturb you to rest."
yesterday……
Qing Lingyi paused, bit his red lips, and asked unnaturally: "What about...general?"
Biwei collected the gauze curtain and replied: "The general has gone out. He said he is very busy. I don't know if he can come back today."
Qing Lingyi's first reaction was, could it be that there was some new news in the Jiang Mansion, so he went to work?
uncertain.
But it doesn't matter.
Qing Lingyi gathered her thoughts and said, "Please help me dress up first. Xu Yanshan and Chao Lu are coming later today, so I have to prepare in advance."
"Okay~"
After Qing Lingyi got up, she didn't feel very hungry. She drank half a cup of warm tea and went to see the small kitchen first.
The newly built small kitchen is closer to the main house and is more than twice as tall and spacious as the original crude one.
Wu Liang was there. When he saw Qing Lingyi, he gave her instructions one by one: "Madam, you see, the general also specially asked to dig a wine cellar. Although it is not big, it can store a lot of fine wine."
"There are also ice cubes from previous years stored here, specially used to store some fresh fruits. Some uneaten meals that are reluctant to be thrown away can also be kept here to keep them fresh."
Qing Lingyi thought to herself that Cheng Yang had really put a lot of thought into taking advantage of her cooking skills.
But...
Thinking that he had learned the skills to please her, it would be a good idea for her to cook him something he liked.
She nodded slightly and complimented: "General, you are attentive."
As for the ingredients she wanted, everything was complete.
Butler Wu is reliable.
After walking around in a circle, Qing Lingyi praised Wu Liang so much that his ears turned red.
Finally, Qing Lingyi said: "I estimate that the guests will arrive around midnight. Please help me keep an eye on them."
Wu Liang said seriously: "Madam, don't worry!"
"Third Madam."
Hearing the call, Qing Lingyi turned her head and Zangsu saluted her, "Jingchenxuan lunch has been prepared. The old lady asked you to go."
Qing Lingyi responded: "Okay."
When they arrived at Jingchenxuan, they found that there were only Mrs. Xue, her and Cheng Anle.
She felt strange: "Where is my sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Xue said: "She went to Dingguang Temple and has to stay there for a few days. Xiao Zheng went with her."
"Dingguang Temple?" Qing Lingyi asked, "Why did sister-in-law go there?"
"The day after tomorrow is the anniversary of your second brother's death. He died on the battlefield and was so injured that he couldn't even put together a complete body. Your second sister-in-law was afraid that it would be difficult for him to be reincarnated, so she asked the master of Dingguang Temple. According to the agreement, every time he arrives, On birthdays and death anniversaries, she has to fast for five days and pray sincerely.”
The old lady's calm tone seemed to be talking about something trivial and commonplace.
But when Qing Lingyi listened, she always felt that this was too sad.
"As for Xiaojun," Mrs. Xue said, "he went to a friend's house as a guest. There was a collection of ancient books that he wanted to read. It would take him several days to copy the transcript by hand."
"Oh~ That's it."
Qing Lingyi suggested again: "It's boring for my mother to eat alone tonight. Let's go to Yanshan Residence together. I have friends coming over for dinner, so I'll cook."
Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "You are hosting a banquet for your friends, why should I join in the fun? If you are serious, just spread out the dishes and serve them to me!"
After lunch, the old lady specially asked Nanny Qi to bring a jar of autumn dew.
Qing Lingyi said hurriedly: "I haven't finished the drink my mother gave me last time!"
"That altar is for you. This altar is considered a gift from me to your friend. If it's different, just keep it."
After sitting and talking for a while, Qing Lingyi took Cheng Anle back to Yanshan Residence.
Xu Yanshan and Chao Lu's favorite food is the golden silky chicken made by Qing Lingyi.
This dish pays attention to heat and timing, so you have to prepare it in advance.
Cheng Anle stayed in the yard to play, while Qing Lingyi stewed the black-bone chicken with red dates and rice wine.
The aroma came out quickly.
Gradually, the song drifted to the depths of the backyard of Yanshan Residence.
It was a secret place, a house among the cluttered vegetation, stretching underground.
It is also a place that Qing Lingyi has not yet discovered.
Wu Liang had just been praised by his wife and was in a very good mood. He passed by humming a little tune.
He wants to take a shortcut from here to wait for his guests.
Capturing the aroma, Wu Liang sighed sincerely: "It smells so good! Madam's roasted silky chicken! You can actually smell it here!"
Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze fixed on him, which was inexplicably terrifying.
