Chapter 30 Warmth

Late at night, Liniang came in and lit an oil lamp. Under the flickering light, there were two poached eggs lying on the thick pimple soup, sprinkled with green vegetable leaves, which looked very tempting.

Maybe it was because he hadn't had a good meal for a long time, so the tip of Zheng Wei's nose was slightly sour and his eyes were filled with mist.

Feeling Qi Nu's sincere love, she missed her grandmother.

In the dead of night these past few days, she was worried that her grandmother would miss her and fall ill, but at the moment, what she wanted to do was lie in her arms, have a good cry, and have a peaceful sleep!

Qi Nu stood aside and urged her with a smile: "Nanny, eat quickly, Nanny, eat quickly!"

Zheng Wei hurriedly pulled Qi Concubine to sit down, pushed the bowl forward, and said in a nasal voice: "Grandma, eat it too!"

"There's more! There's more!" Qi Nu said with a smile, then turned around and went out.

Soon he brought two more bowls in and put one bowl in front of Liniang with a smile, "Liniang will eat too!"

Liniang saw that there was a poached egg lying in her own bowl, but her grandma didn't have one. Her eyes became more moist, and she scooped up the egg with a smile and was about to put it into grandma's bowl, but Zheng Wei beat her to it.

Zheng looked at them with a smile, "One for each is just right!"

Qi Nu and Liniang both laughed. Liniang's eyes flashed slightly as she looked at Zheng Wei's lovely appearance. She was clearly a girl, one who had been raised in a pampered family.

Although grandma is crazy, she understands in her heart.

Seeing her grandma's happy face, Liniang didn't intend to expose her. As long as the girl didn't have any ill intentions, she didn't care.

The whole family had a full meal, and Qi Concubine didn't take any time off. She held Zheng Wei down to prevent her from moving, and ran to boil a large pot of water. Liniang helped bring it in.

Qi Nu smiled and took off Zheng Wei's shoes, only then did she realize that she wanted to soak her feet.

Zheng Wei quickly shrank her feet and said with a smile: "Grandma, I will do it myself."

Her feet were indeed in terrible shape at this time. The blisters were worn out and stuck to her footwear, and it was painful even if she pulled them.

It was really strenuous, Zheng Wei thought that the long-term pain would be better than the short-term pain, so she tore off a piece of skin with her hands. The blood quickly soaked her foot clothes, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Qi Nu grabbed her hand and slowly put it together with her footwear into the warm water.

Liniang also noticed something was wrong and rushed to help. She finally took off her footwear, revealing her red, swollen and sore feet.

Liniang frowned slightly, and Qi Nian was even more distressed with tears in her eyes, saying: "My daughter has suffered..."

After finally tidying up, the three of them lay on the kang. Liniang asked Zheng Wei in a low voice, "Where does Amei live and why is she so injured?"

Zheng Wei was not surprised when Liniang asked this question. She did not dress up as deliberately as Liao Wennan. She just took advantage of her young age and lack of height. She wore a long gown to tie her hair. At first glance, she looked like a young man.

Those close to you will be able to spot clues if you look carefully.

She was afraid of scaring Qi's grandson, so she didn't dare to say that she was arrested by the Wei people. She only said that she and her grandmother were robbed and scattered by the refugees when they returned home from a visit to relatives. With the help of nobles, she went all the way to Langya County to find out about her grandmother.

whereabouts.

Liniang seemed to be very touched after hearing this. She sighed and relaxed her vigilance slightly.

At night, Qi Nu clung to Zheng Wei, gently patting her back.

Zheng Wei smelled the refreshing soapy scent of Qi Nu's body, and fell asleep quickly as if she was lying next to her grandmother.

When she woke up the next day, she looked at her feet wrapped like rice dumplings and smiled helplessly.

On this day, Qi Nu looked at her and smiled while doing needlework. From time to time, she made gestures to her, or she was busy around her.

Zheng Wei really couldn't enjoy this peacefully and felt a little on pins and needles.

Liniang saw her embarrassment and took the initiative to chat with her: "My grandma is very good at embroidery. She is a famous local embroidery master. Now her eyesight is bad. I have also learned from grandma's success. Langya County is now considered stable."

, The family has enough food and clothing, so A-mei doesn’t have to worry about me being poor. The most important thing is that grandma is very happy today, and it’s me who thanks A-mei.”

Zheng Wei suddenly became a little taciturn and just thanked Liniang gratefully.

After two days of such tranquility, Zheng Wei felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he was still clinging to his grandmother's side, as if the years were peaceful.

The more this happened, the more anxious she became in her heart, wishing she could return to her grandmother immediately.

Seeing the opportunity, Zheng Wei told Liniang about leaving.

Liniang also knew that she could not be forced to keep her forever, but she was also worried that her feet had not yet recovered and she would only get more injuries after running around.

Zheng Wei also knew that her feet were a troublesome thing, but she couldn't wait any longer. She smiled and comforted Liniang, "The silk footwear made by grandma is very soft, and the soles of the shoes are also thick and soft. Be careful when walking."

It’s okay. Besides, I just went to the county magistrate’s mansion to try my luck. Regardless of whether I gain anything or not, I will come back and say goodbye to grandma. Maybe I will have to continue to rely on grandma and sister.”

Liniang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She tapped the tip of her round nose and said angrily, "Grandma and I can't wait to do this."

The longer you get along with Zheng Wei, the more you understand that she has an extraordinary background. Although she is young, she knows a lot. In the past two days, she often gathered in front of her grandma and told her some interesting things, which made her smile all day long.

Although I was worried that grandma wouldn't be able to bear it, I also knew that I couldn't keep her, so I could only nod in agreement.

The two of them discussed that she would find a reason to take Grandma out tomorrow, and Zheng Wei left quietly, hoping that Grandma would not be hurt again because she was too crazy to remember people.

But the next day, before Liniang had time to go out, a visitor came to the house.

Liniang hurriedly led the visitor into the house, and gave a somewhat restrained salute, "Madam, you are so kind-hearted. You can remember grandma. Grandma and Liniang are really flattered."

When Zheng Wei heard the sound, she looked up and saw that it was the girl who had blessed her into Langya County that day and kindly brought her water.

In shock, Zheng Wei also quickly got off the kang and saluted her sincerely.

The girl looked carefully and recognized Zheng Wei, and was shocked, "Are you the husband of that day?"

Zheng Wei was so happy that she had to explain it again and told Liniang that this was the noble person who had protected her all the way.

Liniang heard this and thanked her again, feeling even more favorable to the girl from the aristocratic family in front of her.

Only then did Zheng Wei realize that the female family members who entered Langya County that day were actually the wife and daughter of the county governor.

That day, Concubine Qi collided with their carriage, but the county governor's wife did not get angry. Instead, she sent her mother-in-law to persuade her.

Today, the girl even came to visit in person, how could this not make them at a loss.

Which aristocratic girl would care about the safety of an ordinary old woman?

Seeing that Liniang and the others were really embarrassed, the girl smiled and explained, "I learned about the story of Qi Nu and Liniang from my father, and was deeply moved. Qi Nu has not been to the governor's house in the past few days, so I came here by myself.

, I feel relieved to see that you are okay.”

Zheng Wei felt strange. He turned around and saw something wrong with Liniang's expression, and knew that there was something unspeakable that the girl from the county guard's family knew.

Zheng Wei has never touched the secret between her grandfather and grandson these days, and today she pretended not to understand and praised the girl for her kindness with a smile.

"You don't want to be a girl. My sisters at home call me Qiniang. You can also call me like that." Qiniang saw her saying this. Liniang was still very reserved. Zheng Wei, on the other hand, looked indifferent and curious.

At the same time, he also knew that he was being rude, so he sat down for a while, stood up and said goodbye, "I was the one who was rude today. In the future, if any of your grandparents are in need, you can go to the Sheriff's Mansion to find me, and I will help as much as I can."

Qiniang came suddenly and left quickly, but grandma didn't want to go out and wanted to stay by Zheng Wei's side.

Zheng Wei couldn't leave either.
