Chapter 131: The East Window Incident (Pink Ticket 440 Additional Chapter)

  An older sister-in-law next to them saw this and smiled: "What are you two whispering about?"

  Shen Mu Qing said "oh" and smiled: "Nothing! Nothing!"

  Feng Wanqing thought of the scene when she fell into the water that day...

  She smiled at Shen Muqing with a grateful face, but quietly brought the bowl to her nose and sniffed it.

  The fresh rice fragrance hits your nostrils immediately.

  It's indeed the June Snow that Lady Tai often uses.

  To eat or not to eat?

  She hesitated, and then saw Ying Fen also serving a bowl for Shen Muqing.

  Maybe I'm just being paranoid!

  Feng Wanqing smiled and picked up her spoon to take a bite.

  Soft and glutinous, with a faint sweetness after entering the throat... it's so good that I wish I could swallow my tongue too!

  Thinking of her hard work over this period of time, Feng Wanqing couldn't help but get a little teary-eyed at the corners, and as she scooped spoonful after spoonful into her mouth, she found herself wolfing it down.

  "Doesn't it taste great!"

  Feng Wanqing was taken aback and looked at Shen Muqing with some vigilance.

  "Want another bowl?"

  Feng Wanqing's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and she smiled: "I think it's better to forget about it!"

  Shen Mu's eyebrows rose slightly as he smiled and said, "That's true, a full stomach hurts the heart!"

  Feng Wanqing had a faintly bad feeling in her heart, and carefully observed Shen Muqing, but saw that she was calm and composed, with elegant and refined manners, no different from usual, and felt that she was being overly cautious.

  After having a late-night snack, some people like Jiang Shuangrui couldn't hold on and went to sleep, while others like Shen Muqing continued to play cards. Only Feng Wanching was miserable, accompanying them until the sky turned white. Those who had slept got up, those who hadn't sleep didn't have time to sleep, they tidied themselves up and went to pay their respects to Old Lady.

  Liáng Yòu Huì was wearing a silver-red embroidered dress. Bǐ Jiǎ and Féng Shì had already arrived at Xián Hè Táng. She saw Shěn Mù Qīng and couldn't help but complain: "Why didn't you come back all night yesterday?"

  "It's rarely this much fun!" Shen Muqing covered her mouth and laughed, "Who would be willing to go back?"

  She curiously asked: "What did Third Brother give you?"

  Shen Muqing gazed at the golden coral longevity hairpin on Feng Wanqing's head and smiled, "It's a golden coral longevity hairpin!"

  Liang Youhui was taken aback, just about to say something, when someone came forward to wish Liang Youhui a happy birthday, Liang Youhui smiled and thanked him, while Shen Muqing took the opportunity to slip away quietly.

  The old lady looked at the lively scene in the room and couldn't help but laugh with her mouth wide open.

  Wang Wenxian suggested: "Why don't we set up breakfast in the flower hall?"

  The old lady kept saying it was good.

  A group of people followed Madame Tai to the adjacent flower hall.

  Everyone sat down, with Wang Wenxi still serving the old lady. At that table, Jiang Shuangrui naturally served Feng Shi, and Liang Youhui pulled Shen Mucheng to sit next to her. The old lady also smiled: "You two have always been inseparable, so today you can sit together!"

  Shen Mu Qing humbly smiled and said a few words, looking like he couldn't win against Rong Hui, and awkwardly pulled Feng Wanqing to sit down with him.

  Soon, the landlady brought in a food box, and Wang Wenxu led several respectable mothers to offer sacrifices.

  Tangerine peel rabbit meat, strange flavor chicken strips, shrimp roe winter bamboo shoots, sesame fish, spicy quail, mustard duck palm... Although served in small white ceramic bowls, they are all savory dishes and do not match well.

  The madam's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  As soon as she ate the staple food, her eyebrows furrowed together.

  Minced meat pancake, assorted baozi, crab roe dumplings, chicken roll, Fu Rong chicken grain rice...

  She raised her eyes and looked at Wang Wenxuan.

  Wang Wenxi hurriedly accompanied a smile: "Xue Da, the person who went down to the cellar broke his leg, and the doctor hasn't arrived yet... I've already ordered someone to go down to the cellar again to get vegetables, it'll be ready soon. Otherwise, would you like a bowl of plain porridge?"

  The old lady nodded.

  He picked up his chopsticks and symbolically picked up a crab meat dumpling and put it in his bowl.

  Others just started eating with chopsticks.

  Shen Muqing suddenly found that Feng Wanqing was holding chopsticks and stirring the crab meat dumplings in her bowl, but she didn't take a single bite.

  She slightly bent her elbow: "Is it not to your taste?"

  Feng Wanqing lazily said: "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and there's no appetite!"

  Shen Mu nodded slightly and saw a maid bring a bowl of plain congee for Madame Tai.

  "Want me to get you a bowl too?"

  "No need, no need!" Feng Wanqing hastily declined.

  They ate without speaking and slept without talking. Everyone was quietly eating, but Shen Muqing and Feng Wanjing were whispering to each other, already attracting the attention of others.

  Feng's brow furrowed slightly, and he said somewhat displeased: "What is it that you want to say secretly?"

  Shen Mu Qing smiled and said: "I saw that Wu Jie's appetite wasn't good, so I thought of what she said yesterday about liking to eat white porridge..." As he spoke, he glanced at Tai Fu Ren, "But Wu Jie said 'no need'..."

  Everyone's eyes fell on Tai Furen's bowl.

  The old lady saw this and chuckled a few times, instructing Wang Wenxian: "Go, also bring a bowl for the fifth daughter of the Feng family!"

  Wang Wenxi respectfully responded with a "yes", personally serving a bowl of plain congee in front of Feng Wanching.

  Feng Wanqing got up and paid respects to Tai Furen, thanking her for the reward.

  "What's so good about it?" Madam Tai smiled disapprovingly, "Don't think I'm old and don't understand human feelings." As she spoke, she swept her gaze around the room, "What do you want to eat? Just say it!"

  Everyone burst out laughing as if on cue.

  The atmosphere in the house has relaxed a lot.

  Someone joked: "Feng Wuguniang, you're stealing food from your husband's mouth!"

  This brought another burst of laughter from everyone.

  Feng Wanqing somewhat embarrassedly took a spoonful of porridge and put it in her mouth - her face changed greatly.

  "What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?"

  Her words made everyone's eyes fall on Feng Wanqing.

  Feng Wanqing's face was as white as paper, and she swallowed the porridge like a poisonous medicine, then forced out a smile: "No, no. It's just that I don't have an appetite!"

  "I've lost my appetite, but this porridge was given by Old Mistress, so I'll eat a few mouthfuls!" Shen Muqing's face bloomed with a smile.

  Feng Wanqing's pale face showed a few shades of green: "There are white clams in here, I...I'm not used to eating them."

  "Five younger sisters don't know!" Wang Wenxi smiled and said, "I saw that the old lady was also up all night yesterday, so I specially ordered someone to put some chopped white clams in it - those white clams have the effect of nourishing yin and resolving phlegm, they are not delicious, but you must eat a few mouthfuls!"

  "Hmm!" Lady Wang was very satisfied with Wang Xifeng's explanation, and as if to prove something, she deliberately took a bite and said: "Some things, you also have to get used to. These dried goods from the south, like abalone and stone bass, are all good things. Ordinary people can't even see them, let alone eat them."

  Everyone urged Feng Wanqing: "This is the intention of the old lady and the young master!"

  Feng Wanqing wanted to argue a few more sentences, but saw Mrs. Feng staring at her with an ashen face.

  She knew that her aunt was the one who couldn't stand Madame's condescending tone...

  Feng Wanqing hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and took another bite.

  "This is it!" Wang Wenxiu's eyes sparkled like stars as she smiled at her.

  The others also burst out laughing.

  Feng Wanqing also smiled along with them - but before the smile had even reached her mouth, she covered it and quickly ran outside.

  "What's going on?" Shen Muqing asked in puzzlement.

  Ying Fen quickly rushed over.

  "Could it be that this clam is too smelly......" Madame Ta looked at her bowl in confusion.

  She just ate it, and inside, not only was white clams added, but also a few drops of Shaoxing wine were added, so there's no fishy smell.

  Just then, Yingfen had returned. She curtsied to the old lady and said: "The fifth young lady is vomiting outside, I saw her face color was really frightening."

  The old lady was taken aback.

  Wang Wenxian's face was filled with self-reproach: "If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have forced her... I'll go take a look at her!" With that, she quickly stepped out.

  Liang Youhui muttered discontentedly on the side, saying in a low voice: "It's not like we haven't had white clam congee before..."

  Jiang Shuangrui, who was standing at the next table, changed his face greatly after hearing this.

  Shen Muqing looked at Madame Feng with a worried expression and muttered: "What if it's not clean... Should we find a doctor to take a look at Fifth Sister?"

  Feng furrowed his brow, just about to speak, when Jiang Shuangrui loudly said: "Don't!"

  Everyone couldn't help but stare at her in surprise.

  Jiang Shuangrui seemed to have suddenly realized what he had said, and stood there awkwardly, forcing a smile: "This isn't anything serious, I think... let's not call the doctor yet... maybe she just needs some rest and she'll be fine!"

  Feng also felt that Shen Muqing was making a big deal out of nothing and said, "Shuang Rui's reasoning..." But before she could finish speaking, Wang Wenxi walked in with a serious expression: "Grandmother, mother, I think Fifth Sister's situation is not good! It's better to call a doctor!"

  "Don't call a doctor!" Jiang Shuangrui immediately jumped out to object, "Just give her some warm water to rinse her mouth, and then let her rest for a while, that's all!"

  Wang Wenxian didn't even glance at Jiang Shuangrui, but walked straight to the side of the old lady and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, her appearance is too frightening... after all, it's in our house, if something happens..."

  The old lady's heart moved.

  Wang Wenxi is knowledgeable about medicine, and since she says it's not suitable...

  Old Lady Tai immediately ordered Zi Juan beside her: "Go and ask for a doctor for the Fifth Young Mistress of the Feng family!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Shuangrui's face turned pale and he swayed unsteadily.

  Shen Muqing quickly stepped forward and supported Jiang Shuangrui: "Second sister, where are you uncomfortable? Your face looks so bad! I think it's better to let the doctor take a look at you first!"

  Jiang Shuangrui gazed at Shen Muqing, his eyes filled with pain, and softly called out "Muqing". Just as he was about to say something, Ying Fen rushed in, flustered: "It's not good, it's not good! Fifth Young Miss has fainted!"

  ******

  A good breakfast ended in a flurry due to Feng Wanqing's discomfort.

  Feng Wanqing was carried to the warm pavilion in Tai Furen's house, where the doctor who had broken his leg bringing dishes from the cellar took her pulse through the red curtain.

  Under the white handkerchief, jade-like rounded fingertips are exposed.

  He thought of the maid who had called him.

  "She is our family's concubine, you will get used to it soon... Our madam has been waiting for this grandson for many years..."

  He sank into deep thought, then put down his hand and walked out with his head bowed. He faced the screen in the eastern corner of the room where the fragrance was coming from and made a deep bow: "Congratulations to the mistress, it's a joyful pulse!"
