    Daily life of a doting wife in ancient times (2)

    It was still dark outside the house, and it seemed as if the thick ink couldn’t be melted away.The room was as warm as spring. There was a large agarwood canopy bed, and a crocodile gauze tent embroidered with begonia flowers sprinkled with pearls and silver thread hung beside the bed.The copper white crane incense burner on the side is filled with wisps of incense, which smells very light and pleasant.

    Suddenly, a man’s gentle voice was heard from inside the bed tent: “It’s still early, please sleep a little longer, and I’ll say hello later…” The woman mumbled and fell asleep again.

    Then, a hand with sharp bones lifted the bed curtain, revealing a handsome face.I saw that the man was extremely handsome, his face was as clear as a sculpture, and his angular face was extremely handsome.He has thick black hair and a pair of calm eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows, like an abyss into which one can fall into accidentally.The tall nose and sexy thin lips held a gentle smile.

    When he stands up, he looks even taller and taller, with broad shoulders and broad back.The man looked back at the sleeping woman with a smile, and then strode away.

    About half an hour later, a maid in pink clothes opened the door and walked in. She walked quickly to the bed and shouted softly through the bed curtain: “Young lady…it’s time to get up…”

    Leng Xiyan turned over impatiently, her whole body protesting that she didn’t want to get up.”Young mistress… If you don’t get up, you’ll miss the time to greet Madam…” the maid shouted again.

    After a while, Leng Xiyan reluctantly got up from the bed.She sat on the edge of the bed, curling her white hands and rubbing her eyes, trying to wake herself up.Seeing her cute look, Yinping couldn’t help but smile.

    Leng Xiyan stood up, and Yinping hurriedly came over to help her: “Miss, I will help you wash up…” With that, Yinping helped her walk to the clean room not far away.

    Yinping is Leng Xiyan’s personal maid. She has served Leng Xiyan since she was a child. The relationship between master and servant is very good.Leng Xiyan married into the Hou Mansion and brought Yinping and her three maids, as well as Nanny Zeng who had taken care of her since childhood.

    Leng Xiyan was served by Yinping and finished washing herself. She sat in front of the dressing table. Zhiqiu combed her hair and Qinghe put on her makeup.After finishing dressing up, Leng Xiyan ate a few pieces of jade cake and drank a bowl of warm milk before taking Yinping to Jiang’s yard.

    The Jiang family lived in Ciyuntang, which was not close to Qinghui Courtyard where Leng Xiyan lived. It took Leng Xiyan nearly a stick of incense to arrive.Stepping into Ciyuntang, Mrs. Jiang was sitting at the top drinking tea.

    Seeing Leng Xiyan, Mrs. Jiang put down her tea cup and showed a loving smile: “Why don’t you sleep a little longer and come so early?”

    “I heard that the pastries made by my mother’s chef are very delicious, and my daughter-in-law is greedy, so she came here early…” Leng Xiyan smiled playfully.

    “You little greedy cat…” Mrs. Jiang glared at her, pursed her lips and chuckled.

    The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a few more words, and then Yu Zifeng and Yu Pingting also came over to say hello.

    The boy who first stepped into the inner room was about thirteen or fourteen years old. His clothes were made of ice-blue fine silk, with snow-white piping embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns and a mutton-fat jade hairpin on his head.That smile was a bit like that of a romantic young man, his chin was slightly raised, and under his thick eyebrows were a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes. It was Yu Zifeng.

    The woman behind the boy is his sister Yu Pingting.I saw that she had a pointed oval face with goose fat on her face, lips like cherry blossoms, eyebrows like ink paintings, a pair of charming phoenix eyes, and she was wearing a bright red dress, as gorgeous as peaches and plums.The girl is only twelve years old, but she is so gorgeous. You can only imagine how gorgeous she will be when she grows up.

    The girl looks good, but there is a touch of arrogance between her eyebrows, which destroys her beauty and makes people unhappy.

    “Son (daughter) pays regards to mother…”

    Seeing her two children, Mrs. Jiang smiled lovingly and said, “Get up quickly…”

    “Mother…” Yu Pingting walked to Jiang’s side, holding her arm and calling her sweetly.

    Mrs. Jiang responded, then waved Yu Zifeng forward and asked the two of them with concern.At one moment he asked them how they were studying, and at another moment they asked whether the servants were serving them well. They cared about every detail.The three of them were affectionate and affectionate, excluding Leng Xiyan. Leng Xiyan didn’t care at all and drank tea as usual. She was not close to them anyway. If it weren’t for etiquette, she wouldn’t even want to come to say hello.

    “Mom…my daughter has something to ask you…” Yu Pingting called she with a long ending.

    “What’s the matter… tell me…” Old God Jiang is here.

    “Zhenbao Pavilion has released a new style of clothing. It’s very beautiful. My daughter wants to buy it…” Yu Pingting said in a flattering manner.

    “Didn’t you just buy new clothes a few days ago? Why do you want to buy them again?” Mrs. Jiang looked at her doubtfully.

    “That’s different. This is the newest one. It’s very popular in the capital. I bought all my daughter’s handkerchiefs but not my daughter. This will be embarrassing for my daughter. Just promise me…” Yu Pingting pulled her sleeves and acted coquettishly.

    “Okay…I’ll ask Grandma Sun to give you money later…” Mrs. Jiang looked at her helplessly.

    “Thank you, mother. I knew that mother was the best to me…” she said sweetly.

    Mrs. Jiang smiled and gave her a scolding look, “Okay, you are still acting like a spoiled brat at such an old age, be careful your sister-in-law sees the joke…”

    “Sister-in-law doesn’t know that…” Yu Pingting looked at Leng Xiyan with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

    “How come, my sister is so cute…” Leng Xiyan said calmly.
