Chapter 159
Speaking of which, from the time they were five years old to the Wei family, except when Wei Ying was away studying, they had never been separated like this.She shouldn't think he was long-winded last night, but she also wanted him to rest early.To tell her this and that, she really treats her as an ignorant child.This trip is indeed going to be very difficult, but the second wife is not her mother-in-law, so she just wants to keep herself from being caught on the surface.What's more, everyone in Wei's family knew that the eldest room and the second room were at odds, so we couldn't ask her to be so respectful.

Wei Ying is indeed working overtime as Shen Ji thought.On December 25, the emperor sealed it, and all the yamen will not go to the yamen, so these days are very busy.Dinner is also a venison hot pot that I went out with my colleagues.Anyway, I'm alone when I go back, so it's better to have a lively gathering with everyone.He has always been very generous, so he rushed to pay the money on this day.There are many poor scholars in the Hanlin Academy. Even if the family is rich, most of them have no separation, and there is not much money in their hands.Unlike him, his parents were away, his mother's property was in his hands, and his grandfather gave him another 2 taels of cash, which is relatively ample in his hands.Sometimes, there are colleagues who can't make ends meet, so they borrow money from him to spend first, and then pay him back slowly after receiving the salary, and he never reminds the debt.This is one of the reasons why he is so popular.

After eating warmed up, he sat in the warm sedan chair and went back, but the house and the west wing were deserted, there was only a charcoal basin and no one was there, and the bed was also deserted.Usually Xiao Ji always went to bed early and sat down, saying it was to warm him up, but in fact, she was afraid of the cold, and felt that it would be most comfortable to wash up early and go to bed warm.

In fact, when Liu Zhu saw him coming back, he immediately sent someone to not only put the burnt charcoal basin into the house, but also put Mrs. Tang in the quilt.However, I still felt deserted without one person, so after washing up, I read a book casually and went to bed early.

So Shen Ji walked all the way and counted the days, and Wei Ying counted the days alone at home.When it finally came to the day when Wei Ying set off, Shen Ji calculated when Wei Ying could catch up with them the soonest.They walked slowly, only seventy or eighty miles a day.It will take half a month to get there.If Wei Ying rode a horse and galloped, it would be no problem to drive 21 to [-] miles a day, and it would be possible for him to drive another [-] miles.She didn't want him to work too hard, but time waits for no one. Today is [-], so she has to arrive before New Year's Eve.Moreover, if Wei Ying doesn't catch up with her, then she will have to face all the members of the Wei family by herself.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that when I know there are tigers in the mountains, I still want to have someone by my side to rely on.So every day as soon as the sun went down, Shen Ji asked the inn to rest.Uncle Fifteen was so bored that he was afraid that the young master would kidnap someone, but the journey was very safe.Shen Ji asked him to take a few people back on horseback. He shook his head and said that if he left, someone with malicious intentions would really come.No matter what, he has to wait for Wei Ying to arrive, which is almost at the border of Huaiyang, before he will take the first step.

Wei Ying caught up with them on the afternoon of the 27th, and it was only a day or two away to the old house.

Shen Ji heard that he had arrived in the inn room, and almost ran out of the rented yard directly.Fortunately, remembering his instructions before leaving, he stopped the car at the gate of the courtyard.Those big stars are afraid that the exposure rate is not enough to make some gossips come out on camera.This place is blocked and people are not allowed to see it.

Wei Ying strode in. He could really be described as a busy man, with mud spots splashed on his trouser legs, and his face was full of tiredness.Shen Ji was very distressed, and went up to meet him, "There's no need to rush, I'll always be waiting for you."

"It's already 27, you can't hurry up." Wei Ying saw that Shen Ji looked very good, and walked in as soon as he hugged her.Wan Cui and the others hurriedly offered hot water.

Shen Ji thought for a while and said: "I heard that the inn killed the sheep today, let them have a mutton hot pot, and sent the mutton, haggis, and various vegetables directly to the house. And those who came with the master outside Let Liu Zhun make arrangements. Hurry up and get hot water for Grandpa to take a bath, and you can have hot soup and rice when you come out."

"Yes."

"Xiaoji!" Shen Ji heard Wei Ying shouting inside, glared at the girls who were secretly laughing, and walked in.

"what happened?"

"Come and help me take a bath."

Wei Ying has always done these things by himself. Shen Ji had never done it before, but when he lived alone in the study, he used Guan Meng to rub his back or something.Later when Shen Ji married, no adult servants were allowed in the inner house.He didn't have a serious housekeeper, and he wasn't used to ordering Shen Ji's girls around, so he did it himself.Today is really exhausting, and such a beautiful blessing, enjoy it when you can.

Shen Ji saw the exhaustion on his face, without saying anything, took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves to get the bath beans and handkerchief.There are several buckets of hot water brought by the boy just now, you can adjust the temperature while washing, so that you can soak for a while.

She first spread Wei Ying's hair and stood beside the bucket to wash his hair, then poured cold water and added hot water to rub his back.Speaking of which, there are not many opportunities for them to meet naked.Even after blowing out the lamp, it was the first time that he was so naked and the sky was bright.Her eyes dared not look into the water much.

"Ah, it's burning me, watch it carefully." Wei Ying called exaggeratedly.

Shen Ji turned his head to look, she clearly saw the hot water with a scoop, how could he get scalded if he didn't move around.Looking at it this way, it is natural to see clearly what should be seen and what should not be seen.Although the water is rippling, it does not affect the line of sight.

"Ma'am, are you satisfied?"

Wei Ying ate mutton hot pot comfortably, then lay on the bed with her head resting on Shen Ji's lap, and asked her to clean her ears.Itchy, very comfortable.Shen Ji picked it up for him with a cotton swab, and occasionally lowered his head to blow.

Someone knocked on the door outside, "Eldest nephew, elder nephew and daughter-in-law, let me tell you, I will go first tomorrow morning, and I will be home tomorrow night."

Wei Ying sat up straight, "Why don't you come with us?"

"You two are tired, I won't be so ignorant. You can also take this opportunity to take a break." If Uncle Fifteen was there, Wei Ying would definitely be riding side by side with him, and he couldn't comfortably nestle in the carriage or lie down or lean on it. .

"Okay, Uncle Fifteen, you go back first and tell grandfather that I'll be there in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"to make!"

Shen Ji said with a smile: "In the past half a month, Uncle Fifteen, who has been wronged, has been climbing a snail with me."

"It's fine, okay, you don't have to come out, I'm leaving."

Wei Ying fell down again. It stands to reason that Uncle Fifteen is the elder, so he should put on his clothes and shoes and go out to sit and talk with him.But Uncle Fifteen didn't care, he was limp and didn't want to move at the moment, so he didn't pay attention to it.

The next day, Wei Ying rested in Shen Ji's carriage and went on the road.Wan Cui and the others were crowded on the carriage behind.After a day of rest like this, he felt much better.When I arrived on the third day, I looked radiant again.
