talk about wine
Chapter 23
She managed to open her eyes and saw Meng Chuxi leaning over with a dignified expression, and her beautiful black eyebrows were also knit together.Seeing Zhou Qingwu opened his eyes to look at her, Meng Chuxi's face softened: "It hurts, doesn't it? Hold on, I'll rub it for you."
Zhou Qingwu was in so much pain that tears overflowed. At this moment, his face was so pale that he looked at Meng Chuxi, his big eyes were watery, and he looked very pitiful.Meng Chuxi hurriedly sat on the side of the bed to help her up, brought ginger syrup to her, and said, "I made ginger soup with sugar in it, you drink it quickly, maybe you'll feel better when you're warm."
Meng Chuxi blew carefully, and the smell of ginger soup mixed with steaming water vapor floated in front of his eyes. Zhou Qingwu reluctantly turned his head to look at the serious and considerate person, and the mist in his eyes became thicker.
Although the spiciness of ginger is obvious, it is not unpalatable because of the sugar.After a bowl of ginger syrup was poured into his stomach, the heat dissipated from his stomach, and Zhou Qingwu felt a little hot all over his body.At this moment, she was hugged by Meng Chuxi, and the temperature behind her was transmitted through the clothes, so she was indeed much more comfortable.
"Is it better?" Putting the bowl aside, Meng Chuxi asked nervously.
The sudden pain almost drained Zhou Qingwu's strength, she nodded weakly, but the cold sweat was still evident on her face.Without the brown sugar, the effect of the ginger soup is also poor, and the ginger soup alone is obviously not enough for severe dysmenorrhea.
Thinking of this, Meng Chuxi stretched out his hand to touch her hand, it was still cold after lying under the covers for a while, and it was also cold when he touched her belly just now.The little girl is only at this age, so it is probably because she has not been well-raised and suffered from the coldness of the palace, which caused it to be so serious.
At this time, the most important thing is to keep warm. Whether there are warm stickers in this era of poor conditions, Tang Pozi doesn't even have it.Meng Chuxi frowned, and helped Zhou Qingwu take off her cotton clothes and outer clothes so that she could lie down, and went to the kitchen to fill a broken earthen pot with charcoal fire and bring it to the bedroom.
Zhou Qingwu was in so much pain that he wanted to divert his attention. He glanced at Meng Chuxi from the corner of his eye, but saw that she lowered her head and unbuttoned her belt and shirt, and took off her clothes.She was stunned for a moment and watched her bend over to warm herself by the fire in her middle coat, and then she lifted her own quilt and got in.
She was almost so shocked that she forgot that she couldn't speak, she opened her mouth and muttered a few times, she didn't have time to gesture and ask her, the whole person was already wrapped in Meng Chuxi's arms, the warm hands that were so hot were separated by the thin obscene clothes It stuck to her churning and cramping lower abdomen, and then rubbed it gently as before.
She immediately nestled motionless in this soft and warm embrace as if someone had tapped her acupuncture points, her heart beating violently.
"You're so cold, no wonder you're in so much pain. Oh, it's my fault. It's almost menstruation and I made you carry such a heavy thing yesterday. It hurts even more when you're tired. I hold you, The body will feel much more comfortable when it is warm." After speaking, she took Zhou Qingwu's cold hands to cover her armpits, touched Zhou Qingwu's feet with her feet, and hooked them into the crook of her legs with a click.
She is hotter than Zhou Qingwu, and she is also taller. The small Zhou Qingwu is wrapped in her arms. The temperature of her body and the faint fresh smell are overwhelming, wrapping her all in, so comfortable that she almost wants to cry. .
The quilt that was getting colder the more I lay down, became warmer after a while because of Meng Chuxi's joining.Close to Meng Chuxi, the temperature of her body was clearly transmitted to Zhou Qingwu's body. It also came from this person, but it was warmer and more direct than when the two of them were wearing coats just now.
Thin clothes can't insulate the temperature, and they can't even insulate the touch. She can clearly perceive Meng Chuxi's soft and exquisite curves, which makes Zhou Qingwu so ashamed. He wants to leave some but is reluctant to leave the warmth. posture.
Zhou Qingwu felt that the ginger soup had also played a role at this moment, her face was scorching hot, and her whole body was also hot, and the pain that made her feel so painful seemed to dissipate little by little.
Meng Chuxi stretched out his hand to warm the fire from time to time, the temperature of his right hand was always very high, rubbing it with his warm hand relieved the pain there, it was very comfortable.Originally, Zhou Qingwu's heart was beating like a drum, thinking wildly, but the temperature here was too comfortable, and finally he fell asleep buried in Meng Chuxi's arms like a kitten whose fur had been brushed.
After realizing that her hands were warm, Meng Chuxi let go of her. When Meng Chuxi rubbed her hands and found that her breathing was shallow and long, he realized that the little girl had fallen asleep. Her hands were still grabbing the corners of her clothes. Because it was already flushed under the quilt, it was so cute.
Meng Chuxi's hand rubbing her stomach slowly stopped, and the little girl moved before she thought about it and let out a cute hum. She seemed a little dissatisfied, which made Meng Chuxi chuckle.Shaking his head helplessly, he continued to rub gently, really like a cat.
He looked down at her expression carefully, she was sleeping soundly, her mouth was still slightly pouted.He stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, um, there was still a little flesh, he laughed in a low voice, and pinched her nose again: "You little girl, you slept soundly." But she didn't With the look of pain, Meng Chuxi felt relieved.
Thinking that she was not feeling well last night and probably didn't have a good rest, Meng Chuxi didn't move anymore because she was afraid of getting up and waking her up.It was just warm in the bed, and although the little girl was thin, she was soft when hugged, and in the end Meng Chuxi fell asleep by herself.
The winter sun was shining outside the house, and the neighbor’s chickens were already looking for food leisurely outside the courtyard. Aunt Liu’s yellow dog was fighting with a cat.The dog didn't give in at all, it jumped up and crawled on its front paws, barking loudly.For a while, the dog barked, and the cat's frightened low and fierce whine wafted outside, one after another.
A few patches of sunlight fell on the bed, quiet and quiet.Light and shadow are intertwined in the room, presenting a gradual dim yellow.You can vaguely see two people lying on the bed. After a while, the bulging quilt moved, and the little girl arched her head out of the warm and soft embrace. It usually falls on people who are close at hand.
Meng Chuxi slept peacefully, with her head slightly tilted, her amber eyes closed meekly at the moment, and the broken hair on her forehead was stuck to the side of her face.She was already a gentle person, but she was asleep at the moment, and this appearance added a bit of warmth to the delicate facial features.
Zhou Qingwu stared at her blankly for a long time. Meng Chuxi's eyelashes were very long. When he closed his eyes, he could clearly see every eyelash feather. The sunlight added light to the room, so the shadows cast became more obvious, and his lips were pursed. It is rosy and looks soft.
It took a long time for Zhou Qingwu to realize that he was too stupid just now, he quickly moved his eyes away and blushed secretly in shame.She was still held in Meng Chuxi's arms, and the hand that rubbed her belly before falling asleep was still on her abdomen, which made her feel touched and hot.
It's just that even though her heart was beating wildly, she was very greedy for this feeling and was reluctant to leave.Although the pain at that time made her tremble when she recalled it, the care and warmth of this person beside her made her even more unforgettable.
Her cheeks were flushed, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift up. After turning her eyes around, she still couldn't help but fall on Meng Chuxi's face. The more she looked at the corner of her mouth, the more she couldn't suppress the smile. She didn't know why, but just looking at her happy.
She stared at Meng Chuxi like an idiot, until the man opened his eyes with trembling eyelashes, Zhou Qingwu quickly moved them away, a little at a loss.
Meng Chuxi only felt that she slept very comfortably this time, the bed was so warm, she wished she could stretch her waist.From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the little girl waking up, her big eyes were rolling helplessly, thinking of her pain before, she squinted her eyes and groped her stomach with her hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Does it still hurt?"
Zhou Qingwu shook his head quickly, and gestured again: It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you Chuxi.
Meng Chuxi took her hand back after hearing the words, blinked and woke up and said: "We have slept a lot in the sun, are you hungry, I will get up and cook."
Zhou Qingwu hurriedly propped up his body, meaning to get up together.Meng Chuxi said seriously: "It's okay if it doesn't hurt, but don't touch cold water these days. I'll wash your clothes, and don't be too tired. Girls have to cultivate well these days. In the past, you were forced to be helpless and didn't take care of yourself before. It hurts so much, is your menstruation irregular?"
Zhou Qingwu nodded with a blushing face, but still gestured: I can't let you do it all.
Meng Chuxi got up to put on his clothes and said, "I don't have to do it all by myself. You can help me light the fire and do other things. I won't say much about it."
Zhou Qingwu was very aware of Meng Chuxi's temper, so he didn't say any more, but just got up quickly.
Meng Chuxi went out to look at the sun, and it was indeed already afternoon, so I was lazy today.The weather outside was very good, she turned her head and looked at Zhou Qingwu: "I'll go to the town after dinner, don't be so busy basking in the sun, wait for me to come back."
Zhou Qingwu pursed his lower lip, looking a little aggrieved: I want to go with you.
Meng Chuxi laughed, stepped forward and pinched her nose: "Are you still wronged? I'll go this time and sell the winter bamboo shoots. Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? Next time we go together instead of going to Qingyang Town. Let's go directly to Jiangyin County, shall we?"
Meng Chuxi thought about it, and wanted to go to the county to exchange the gold leaf for silver, and also go to see what it looked like outside.Also understand the market and see if you can do some small business.
Zhou Qingwu was stunned for a moment, and then there was some surprise in his eyes: To the county?
Meng Chuxi nodded: "I have forgotten a lot of things, and I still don't know what it's like outside. I have to prepare New Year's goods for the New Year. It would be best to go to Jiangyin County, okay?"
Zhou Qingwu hadn't been to the county since his parents passed away, and since Meng Chuxi wanted to go, she naturally agreed, so she nodded.Meng Chuxi laughed, turned and went to the kitchen: "Then I'll cook."
Zhou Qingwu quickly followed. Meng Chuxi's cooking skills were a bit better than hers, but she couldn't make a fire anymore, so she had to go.
A simple meal, steamed custard, stir-fried greens, and a plate of pumpkin.There are not many seasonings at home, but they are much better than when Meng Chuxi first arrived. Soy sauce and vinegar have been added, which is much more flavorful than clear soup with little water and salt.
The steamed eggs don't have small holes like Zhou Qingwu's impression, not only the color is beautiful, but also the taste is smooth and tender, sprinkled with a layer of green onion is particularly attractive.Meng Chuxi took a sip and couldn't help sighing: "This kind of steamed egg not only looks good, but also tastes much fresher."
Zhou Qingwu was a little puzzled: there are other eggs?
Meng Chuxi was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Some eggs are not beautiful in color."
Zhou Qingwu didn't ask any more questions, and Meng Chuxi went out after eating.This was the third time she had been to town, but it was the first time by herself.
Passing by the village, people who know her, some villagers who are not too jealous of Zhou Qingwu, will greet her, especially the young men. After all, Meng Chuxi is too outstanding, they can't help but pay more attention.
Meng Chuxi just responded politely, not too enthusiastically.Originally, she didn't plan to go out in the afternoon. She wanted to buy some things that might be sold out in the afternoon, but the bamboo shoots had to be fresh, and the water content would lose after a long time.
Although it was getting late and the market in the town was not as lively as it was in the early morning, there were quite a lot of people in Qingyang Town as the New Year approached.Winter bamboo shoots are the most preferred delicacy of the rich people in the town, and Meng Chuxi's appearance is also outstanding, so someone will come up to ask about it soon after staying there.
"Girl, did you dig this bamboo shoot yourself?" A middle-aged man in a silk shirt and a crown on his head came from a good family.
Meng Chuxi nodded: "I just dug it up the mountain yesterday. It's not bad and definitely fresh. It's very good to make braised winter bamboo shoots in oil this season, or use it to stew three delicacies bamboo shoots soup."
After hearing this, he laughed: "You are an expert. The family dug these bamboo shoots? How do you sell them?" He stopped because he saw Meng Chuxi among the group of vendors. Although his clothes were very ordinary, his appearance was too iconic. Sitting there quietly with his head bowed, his things were arranged neatly and beautifully, which was very eye-catching.
Meng Chuxi smiled slightly: "I dug it myself. This year's winter bamboo shoots are hard to find. I sold them to subsidize some households. This pile of bamboo shoots weighs thirteen catties, and I can take them all for four hundred coins." The price of spring bamboo shoots is much cheaper, one hundred Wen can buy more than ten catties, but the price of winter bamboo shoots has to be doubled. Four hundred Wen is not expensive. He nodded: "I want all of them."
After finishing speaking, he turned to a young brother not far away and said, "Quansheng, take these winter bamboo shoots back, the master just talked about eating bamboo shoots yesterday."
"Yes, butler."
The man answered and came over to pack the winter bamboo shoots. The man called the butler took out a money bag from his wide sleeve, handed the money to Meng Chuxi, and said casually: "But the girl looks like she doesn't look like a mountain family."
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and squinted at Meng Chuxi, with a scrutinizing smile on his lips.
There was a hint of surprise in Meng Chuxi's eyes, but she soon smiled slightly: "This master is too famous. I am just a country girl in a small place, but before my family fell into ruin, I got to know a little with my parents."
"Oh, so that's the case." He looked at Meng Chuxi a few more times, and finally shook his head, probably thinking too much.
Zhou Qingwu was in so much pain that tears overflowed. At this moment, his face was so pale that he looked at Meng Chuxi, his big eyes were watery, and he looked very pitiful.Meng Chuxi hurriedly sat on the side of the bed to help her up, brought ginger syrup to her, and said, "I made ginger soup with sugar in it, you drink it quickly, maybe you'll feel better when you're warm."
