After Lin Xiao left, Meng Ying ordered Hongying to quietly pack her bags for Jiangnan.
At first, she hid it from Qing He, but there were too many things, so Hongying revealed a few things to Qing He.
After Qinghe heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he also started to pack his things, but he did so very slowly, which made Hongying lose his temper twice.
The days go by so fast, it’s already fourteen in a blink of an eye, and tomorrow will be fifteen.
Perhaps she was thinking about it during the day and dreaming at night. In her dream, she was on the grassland. Tao Huansheng and Wei Yun'er rode past her on snow dragon horses. Wei Yun'er was wearing a bright red wedding dress. The golden phoenix on the dress was shining brightly in the sun.
I was so moved that I shed tears.
I sat up in shock, it turned out to be a dream. When I woke up, I was sweating all over my clothes, my mouth was salty, I wiped it on my face, and I shed tears.
Meng Ying got up, put on her clothes, opened the window, and felt a gust of cold air hit her face. She couldn't help but shiver.
The moon outside the window was as cold as water, the fragrance of osmanthus drifted in, and the chirping of insects reminded her of the night of the bonfire, when she opened her heart to Tao Huansheng for the first time, and the two had a great conversation... Although they were only half a month apart, they
It feels like a lifetime ago.
Meng Ying smiled bitterly, shook her head, and closed the window.
When she woke up the next morning, Meng Ying's voice was a little hoarse, so Hongying hurriedly sent someone to ask for the doctor.
But she was stopped by Meng Ying, "It doesn't matter, just drink some pear water."
Hongying thought she didn't want to drink the bitter medicine, so she asked the cook to boil some pear water.
When the pear water was cooked, there was no trace of the person. It turned out that he had gone to the General's Mansion.
The cook in the General's Mansion has prepared the dishes that will be sent to the city defense camp today and is waiting for Meng Ying's instructions.
Meng Ying thought for a moment, then went to the kitchen by herself, planning to make a final meal for Tao Huansheng.
She is going to make three Youzhou dishes. The first one is braised dried pork and beans. First stir-fry the meat with sugar to get the fat, then simmer it with water until the pot boils. Add the dried beans and simmer over low heat.<
/p>
While the beans are stewing, put a pot on another stove and boil water. Put the fat three-layered pork belly into the boiling water and cook. Rinse off the blood foam and add the green onion, ginger and aniseed. Wait until the meat is cooked until it is half cooked.
Remove and cut into thin slices, place on a plate and set aside.
Pour out the water used to blanch the meat, heat the oil in a pan, add the meat slices, and add chopped green onion and star anise for seasoning. Stir the bottom of the pot twice, add the red mushrooms, and the unique aroma of the red mushrooms will hit your nostrils.
When it comes to the dried tofu, first add a spoonful of lard, and then add a few dried chili peppers. When the chili peppers turn slightly yellow, add the dried tofu, stir evenly, then add Sichuan peppercorns and star anise. When it is about to come out of the pot, add two handfuls
Green onion leaves and spicy and fragrant dried tofu are ready to go.
After an hour, the dried beans will be soft and tender, and the braised pork will melt in your mouth. Add minced garlic and coriander for seasoning, and the three dishes are ready.
The cook next to her swallowed her saliva and said, "Ma'am, these dishes taste so tempting."
"When stewing dried beans, add enough soup at one time. Add some Youzhou noodle sauce for a more fragrant taste..."
The cook nodded and wrote them down one by one.
The cook put the dishes into the food box and waited for Meng Ying to change clothes and go to deliver the meal.
But after waiting for two cups of tea, the lady in charge didn’t come, but the lady’s maid did.
I saw her, with a gold hairpin in her head, a white silk cardigan on her upper body, a flowered t-shirt, a bean green silk skirt, and moon-white tangerine satin shoes on her feet.
"Oh, as expected of the people around Madam, Miss Qinghe is dressed like a maid, she is clearly a young lady."
Qing He smiled shyly and said, "When I do something for Madam, I can't let Madam lose her face." After saying that, he picked up the food box and got on the carriage.
The cook watched Qing He get into the car and was still muttering: "What a lovely person..."
Qinghe held the food box in his arms and thought in his heart that the girl was already planning to go to Jiangnan. Although the scenery there was good, how could it compare to the prosperity of the capital city?
But as a slave, how can I decide where I want to go?
But if he helps his wife win the heart of the general, what will the general do to him?
Thinking of this, Qinghe had an idea. He took out the melon seeds from his purse, cracked them all the way, wrapped the pulp in a handkerchief, and stuffed it next to the food box.
After being anxious all the way, we finally arrived at the camp gate.
The guard recognized the driver and let him go, and Qinghe was taken to the tent.
Coincidentally, as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the big tent, I saw a young girl with a face like a peach blossom and full autumn waves. She was wearing a moon-white double-breasted fairy skirt, a white jade banquet, a sachet on the left and a right, and a jingle ring.
Standing next to the big tent, a beautiful maid is standing next to her with a food box.
Seeing Qing He coming, the girl lowered her face and asked in a bad tone: "Who are you?"
"I am Mrs. Tao's maid. I have been ordered by Mrs. Tao to deliver food to the general. This girl is unfamiliar to me. Who is she?"
As a maid of a real wife, Qinghe felt that she should straighten her back when speaking.
I saw the maid carrying the food box, arrogantly saying, "You can inquire about my girl? Not even a maid looks at her identity."
"You..." Qinghe was angry, but she was really just a maid, and there were others supporting her, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
When the guard heard that Qinghe was sent by the lady, he opened the door and said: "The general went on inspection. Before he left, he told me that if the lady comes, please wait in the tent. The girl is the ordered lady, so she put the food box
Leave it to me."
After hearing this, Qinghe gave Wei Yun'er a provocative look and handed the food box to the guard.
"We also delivered food to General Tao, why didn't you accept it?" the maid stamped her feet.
"The general has an order, and we can only accept it if it is given by the madam. I forgive you two for not daring to accept it."
Coincidentally, Tao Huansheng discovered something unusual in the army during his inspection today, and after some investigation, he was delayed in returning to the camp.
When he arrived at the camp, it was already ten minutes after sunset. There was a food box outside the tent. One look at the box showed that it was not something from an ordinary person.
He thought Meng Ying had sent it, so he asked the guard: "Is Madam already here?"
"Not yet, Madam's maid has been here and brought a food box, which has been placed in the account."
"What is this food box?" Tao Huansheng was confused.
"This was sent by Miss Wei. My subordinates said they would not accept it, but they put it down and left." The guard was also in a dilemma. He was just following orders, but it was the governor's daughter, and he did not dare to say evil words. p>
Tao Huansheng frowned, entered the camp, and opened the food box sent by Meng Ying.
The food has already cooled down, but after taking a bite, it smells like home, and I feel extremely happy.
Looking inside again, there is a handkerchief beside the plate.
When the veil was unfolded, it turned out to be a packet of melon seeds, neatly wrapped inside.
Tao Huansheng felt warm in his heart after seeing it. As the saying goes, if you are not full of melon seeds, your heart will be full.
Just when I was about to take one and put it in my mouth, I smelled a strong rouge fragrance on the handkerchief.
He and Meng Ying had ridden on the same horse, and he was sure that this was not her taste.
Who posted this?
The fifth girl of the Wei family has already made herself extremely troubled. Today’s food box? Tao Huansheng is also suspicious.
Asked the guard, "Whoever brought the food, tell me, why didn't the lady come?"
"I heard that the lady was infected with the cold and couldn't come here, so she asked the maid to bring it."
When he heard that Meng Ying was ill, Tao Huansheng felt like his heart was fried. He couldn't read the battle report, couldn't sit still, and walked around in the tent.
Suddenly he shouted to the guard: "Come here, call Vice General Qin!"

But Meng Ying, although she asked Qinghe to say that she had a cold, it was just an excuse at the time. But at dusk, she actually came to an end and started coughing. She was very sleepy, her forehead was hot, and her face was slightly red.
.
Hongying hurriedly invited a doctor, checked her pulse, and cooked a bowl of medicine.
Meng Ying drank the medicine and fell asleep, but when she fell asleep, she felt cold all over.
When she was in a state of confusion, she felt someone hugging her. She thought it was Hongying, so she said: "Hongying, I'm cold." The arms tightened a little.
But not long after, I felt unbearably hot again, "Hongying, I'm hot." She said while pulling on her clothes.
I just felt that my other hand was holding the hand that was holding my clothes, and the cool teacup was brought to my mouth.
After drinking half a cup of tea, I felt a little more comfortable and fell asleep quietly.
Meng Ying suffered from being hot and cold all night, but fortunately, when she woke up in the morning, her fever was gone.
Hongying brought the porridge, and Meng Ying picked up the porridge bowl. While drinking, she said: "We have been watching all night, you should go to bed."
Hongying smiled and said: "I'm not tired. The general came back last night. He took care of you. I didn't sleep less."
She didn't listen, but when she heard it was Tao Huansheng, she choked on a mouthful of porridge and coughed for a long time.
Hongying stroked her back and patted her for a long time before finally feeling relieved.
"You said it was General Tao Huansheng who was in my room last night?"
"Yes, yes!"
Hongying knew Meng Ying's plan, but they were a serious couple, how could he stop Tao Huansheng and say: "My girl is going to Jiangnan, you can't enter the inner room."
Meng Ying stopped drinking the porridge and lay on the bed with the quilt pulled directly over her head, "You go down, I want to be alone."
Hongying didn't know why and retreated in confusion.
*
By the way, Wei Yun'er didn't see Tao Huansheng yesterday, but today she came again under the guise of delivering food to her father.
Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the daughter of the Wei family has other agendas when it comes to delivering food.
Wei Hong, who was deeply moved by his daughter's "filial piety", finally came to his senses: What on earth is this girl thinking?
Seeing her walking around the bush to Tao Huansheng's tent again, the anger in her chest slowly rose up along her sides.
In particular, Tao Huansheng solemnly told his daughter that he had a wife and asked Miss Wei not to pester her anymore.
But his precious daughter was still stubborn and kept talking to herself, "General Tao, you have saved Yun'er's life. I have something to say about your wife. I really don't want to tell you. The details of your wife,
You don’t know, but I know that she was abandoned by her parents..."
Tao Huansheng interrupted coldly and said: "My wife is gentle and virtuous, but the girl should respect herself."
Wei Hong felt a loud slap on his face.
It really attracted the water of the Yangtze River, and it’s hard to wash away the shame of today.
He stepped forward and pulled his daughter over, teaching her a lesson: "You shameless girl, get out of here!"
Seeing that her father saw her, Wei Yun'er was shocked at first, and then looked at Tao Huansheng, which seemed to be burning the boat.
"Dad, General Tao is deceived. You also know that, tell him quickly..."
"Someone, take the lady back to the house!"
Seeing that the master's tone was not kind, no maid or woman dared to disobey him. They all came over, pushing and pulling, and quickly pulled Wei Yun'er out.
Wei Hong was ashamed and said: "General Tao, I'm really sorry. I have been fighting all year round, and this girl has been spoiled by her mother. She must be disciplined strictly when she returns."
"The Governor does not need to blame himself. Ling Aixu was deceived and acted like this."
Wei Hong quickly borrowed the donkey and said, "Yes, yes, it must be those servants who have taught the children bad things. Don't worry, this will never happen again in the future."
Wei Hong once said that he was away at war and owed a lot to his children at home. He couldn't bear the embarrassment for his coach, so he offered some relief.
Now that I saw that Wei Yun'er had left and would no longer be entangled with her in the future, I felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the drifting clouds in the sky, he thought about the sick little man in the city.
