The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Jinshu, who was standing by and serving, did not expect that her son-in-law would suddenly kiss his wife. She blushed and quickly walked out of the house.

"I will go to Sister Xu to see if the young master is asleep."

Seeing the little girl fleeing in panic, Song Yuntang looked in the direction of Xu Qingye, and couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his lips.

The man had a faint smile on his face, and his expression was generous and natural. He did not show any embarrassment because of his previous behavior.

Song Yuntang smiled and lowered his head to play with his fingers.

"There are more than just our family living in this courtyard now, so we should be a little more careful."

The man nodded in response.

"it is good."

When Xia Ning came back, it was already an hour and a half later.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he said excitedly, "Madam, I have searched several markets in the capital and finally found a sheep that can produce milk."

"Thank you for your hard work." Song Yuntang came to the door. "Let's take the sheep to the backyard first. I asked Nanny Li and Nanny Wang to leave some food for you in the small kitchen. Go and have some."

Xia Ning looked up at her.

"Has the lady eaten yet?"

Song Yuntang smiled and nodded, "We have already eaten."

"Okay, then I'll go to the backyard first." After Xia Ning said that, he led the sheep to the backyard.

The two children in the opposite house heard the sheep and, perhaps out of curiosity, ran out of the house and followed Xia Ning to the backyard.

Seeing this, Song Yuntang curled his lips into a smile and went back into the house.

In the direction of the main room, Xie Yingwei, who was standing at the window with his hands behind his back, took a quick glance, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"The peach blossoms are smiling brightly over the fence. Brother Xu is so lucky to have such a beautiful woman."

……

There are three back rooms in the third courtyard. The Xu family of three lived in the smaller one, the four servants and Guiping lived in the largest one, and the two newly bought maids and two old women lived in one. Because there was not enough space in the back rooms, Jinshu and Xia Ning had to keep watch, so they took turns sleeping on the couch outside the west wing.

Song Yuntang was pregnant and taking care of the baby, giving birth and taking care of her body. Xu Qingye was afraid of hurting her, so he restrained himself from touching her.

In the current situation, it is also inconvenient to touch her. Not to mention that there are people outside, using water at night will also alarm the people in the other two rooms.

After all, it is a private matter between husband and wife, and it is not good to let outsiders know about it.

It seems that after the affairs of the court are settled, we have to find a yard and move out as soon as possible.

At five in the morning, Xu Qingye had just finished washing and dressing when he heard Jason Lu's deliberately lowered voice coming from outside the house.

"Brother Xu, are you awake? I'm going to the palace today. Would you like to come with me?"

"Brother Lu, wait a moment, I'll be right there."

After Xu Qingye said something outside, he turned and looked at Song Yuntang who was still dazed on the bed.

"But did it wake you?"

Song Yuntang shook his head and glanced at the child sleeping beside him, "It's okay, Hao Ting is awake, it's time for me to get up too."

When she was in confinement at the farm, in order to ensure her good health, the child was looked after by her parents-in-law at night. When she was hungry, she would be taken to Xu's room next door.

Now that her parents-in-law are not around and accommodation is limited, Song Yuntang feels safer when she has the child by her side.

Xu Qingye smiled gently, walked up and kissed her forehead.

"I have to go to the palace early, so I won't have breakfast with Tang'er. I'll come back to accompany you and Hao Ting after I finish my work in the palace."

After being teased by him like this, Song Yuntang suddenly came to his senses.

She smiled.

"Just go and do your work. I'll take care of the things at home. Remember to eat something on the way so you don't go hungry."

"it is good."

Xu Qingye looked at her and the child again, then hurried out the door.

As soon as he left, Song Yuntang lost his sleepiness and simply got dressed and got out of bed.

"Jinshu, bring me a basin of water."

Fortunately, the child was well-behaved at night, neither crying nor making a fuss. After waking up at midnight, Xia Ning carried the child to Xu's room and then came back and slept until dawn.

Outside, Jinshu responded and went out to fetch water.

Song Yuntang put on his clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, picked up a rattle and amused his son who was lying on the bed.

"Hao Ting, your father has gone to the palace and I don't know when he will be back. Do you miss him?"

I don’t know whether her son wants it or not, but she does want it a little bit.

I don’t know when it started, but my dependence on him has become so strong.

Xu knocked on the door outside.

"Madam, does the little boy want to be fed now?"

Song Yuntang glanced towards the door.

"come in."

Xu responded, pushed the door open and came into the room. After paying her respects to Song Yuntang, she looked up and saw Hao Ting grinning on the bed. She was so surprised.

"Ah! The young master is laughing."

Perhaps because she had drunk her milk, when Mrs. Xu looked at Hao Ting, her eyes were particularly loving.

Song Yuntang smiled at his son lying on the bed, "Haoting has been happy since he woke up. I wonder what happy things he is thinking about."

Just then, Jinshu came into the house with water.

"Ma'am, the water is coming."

Song Yuntang nodded, told Xu to feed Haoting first, and then went to wash up.

After breakfast, Song Yuntang called a few servants and gave them instructions for today's affairs.

"Lan Xin and Qin Ju, Zhi Ruo and Ren Dong, you two will form a team and go to the north and south of East City respectively. Find a real estate agent and ask if there are any houses for sale. Who was the previous owner and why they want to sell it? Also, ask the neighbors about the house and the previous owner's family situation."

You won’t just live in the yard you buy for a day or two, you also have to get to know the ins and outs of it first.

If you accidentally buy a haunted house, you may encounter disasters in the future.

The four of them saluted.

"Yes."

Song Yuntang gave them some change and let them leave.

Just then, Mrs. He came over from the opposite side, carrying a box of snacks and leading two children with a smile on her face.

"The kids were clamoring for cloud cakes yesterday, so I prepared some extra ingredients. I just cut them up and brought some over for my younger siblings to try."

Song Yuntang stepped forward and greeted her.

"Since my sister-in-law is so virtuous, her cooking skills must be excellent."

He smiled and said, "In our hometown, many people can do this. I just get better with practice."

Song Yuntang picked up a piece and tasted it, then nodded and said, "It tastes very good. Sister-in-law, can you teach me how to make it?"

He looked at her slender, white hands.

"Your sister-in-law doesn't look like someone who can cook. I'll teach the nanny under your sister-in-law to cook. That way, you don't have to worry about it."

Xia Ning picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for He.

"Mrs. Lu has a sharp eye. The cakes that my wife eats on a daily basis are all prepared by our son-in-law."

He took the teacup and looked at her enviously, "Brother Xu is so busy with his studies, how can he still spare time to prepare cakes for his sister-in-law?"

Song Yuntang doesn't want to attract hatred.

"It's just a break from my busy schedule. I don't do it every day. I'll show off my skills when I feel like it."

He understood. "That's better than many men. They say a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Most scholars don't want to go into the kitchen."
