Chapter 104 Auntie Leaves the Door for You

crackling-

As the warm morning sun spread out, there was the crackling sound of firecrackers outside the courtyard gate. On the couch in the main room, the woman's long eyelashes like brushes trembled slightly, and she opened her almond-shaped eyes lazily.

"Wei Mingqi, you bastard, give me a string of——"

"Wait a minute! Go wake up your aunt and prepare dinner."

"..."

The annoying sounds of a young man and woman quarreling could be heard from afar. The woman listened quietly for a while before she smiled faintly, pulled back the quilt, and stretched out her hands to half-rise from the bed.

"Um--"

A nasal hum as sticky as frosting sounded, and the upper body, which was only wearing a green vest, was dazzlingly white under the warm light. As the cat-like movements stretched out, the thin branches and fruits trembled as if they were ripe.

"..."

After stretching, the woman pulled over the cheongsam-like satin gown and put it on. However, because it had too many buttons, she became impatient when she buttoned it at the top. She simply ignored the two buttons on the collar, stood up and walked leisurely into the yard.

I just picked up the willow branches and fine salt to wash my face.

Snapped!
"Meow!"

"Meow--"

Suddenly, firecrackers and the screams of frightened house cats rang out, and the young man's chuckle came from the doorway: "Not bad, idiot, you've made friends in just a few days. This little tortoiseshell is so pretty, who's its family? I'll buy it for you to keep you company before I move."

"Meow--"

"No need to buy it? It will come by itself? You little castrated cat is really good."

"Meow!"

"How dare you do that! These are the clothes my master just bought!"

Just when the man and the cat were about to fight, a delicate female voice suddenly came from the yard:
"Mingqi——"

"..."

The courtyard outside suddenly became quiet. Soon, the sound of wind was heard on the wall, and a young man carrying a copper kettle jumped in and walked to the woman.

"Wake up so early?"

"Humph, you can quarrel with anyone so early in the morning and prevent me from getting a good night's sleep."

While complaining, Yu Qing handed the cup over. She bit the willow branch lightly with her teeth, watched the young man hand over the cup with hot and cold water, and then handed over the branch with a pout.

"The bite is tiring—"

"..."

Since she came back, this woman has become more and more spoiled, and her laziness has been exposed, as if she has stopped acting.

So this family really can’t do without Xie Beiling.

After Wei Mingqi sighed in his heart, he took the poplar branch and helped her bite open the loose wood. The woman, whose clothes were disheveled and a large area of ​​white skin was exposed at her collar, looked at him with her chin in her hand, her almond-shaped eyes smiling, just like a fox.

"Give--"

"Ok?"

Just as he bit the branch, the woman suddenly handed him a red envelope. When Wei Mingqi was confused, Meixing raised her eyebrows and said:

"What do you mean, it's Chinese New Year, your Aunt Yu feels sorry for you and gave you some New Year's money, why don't you thank Aunt Yu?"

"..."

Wei Mingqi felt that this woman was becoming more and more coquettish, so he suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. When he was about to raise his chin to kiss the elder, Mei Xing covered her chin with her hand and shook her head vigorously, saying incoherently:

"I didn't brush my teeth—"

"Brush together after kissing!"

"You're disgusting—"

After a while, Wei Mingqi sat on the chair, and Yu Qing was held in his arms and brushed his teeth obediently. The former put one hand into the collar of his robe and played with Zhu Run, urging him:
"Brush quickly! I want to check it after you finish!"

"..." The woman in his arms rolled her eyes at him, picked up the cup and rinsed the salt in her mouth, then put her arm around his neck and whispered in his ear, "I've been lying at home for two days, and now I'm feeling better~"

The warm breath swept across his earlobe like a small brush, which was so touching that Wei Mingqi's heart also warmed up.

During the days when Yu Zhen's incident happened, Wei Mingqi had been forcing himself not to eat apricots because he was in a hurry to get back before the New Year, and he was also in a period of adjustment after saying goodbye to the past.

It wasn't until these few days after returning that Yu Qing seemed to have recovered. Now her eyes were teasing as if she was going to pull a string: "Auntie will leave the door open for you tonight. Come over and I'll measure you to see if you've grown up."

"..."

Wei Mingqi was instantly panting and directly blocked the sound with his mouth. The defenseless woman subconsciously warned him and then put her arms around his neck.

Soft, warm, salty, and fragrant with apricots.

So many wonderful things mixed together, just when the two of them were a little self-forgetful -

"cough!"

Suddenly, there was a loud cough from the top of the wall. Wei Mingqi turned his head subconsciously, but saw his good brother popping his head out from the next yard, looking at this side with a dark face.

"Feng'er——"

"Feng'er, you idiot! Why don't you come to the room to eat so early in the morning? Are you going to eat or not?"

Wei Mingqi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but Yu Qing on his body hugged his neck and smiled at the wall, "What are you eating? I'll be full if I eat him."

"..."

Shi Fengguan, who was on the wall, felt her heart twitch when she heard this. She turned her head and glared at Wei Mingqi. Just as she was about to scold him again, someone at her feet pulled her and said, "Come down quickly! Yu Niang and Mingqi, come down here. I have something for you."

With Shi Fengque coming out to smooth things over, the little friction between the three of them was temporarily put to rest. When they came to the next courtyard, Wei Mingqi saw the clothes handed to him and took a look at them curiously:
"For me?"

"Um……"

Shi Fengque was a little afraid to look at him, so he handed a green long pleated skirt to Yu Qing: "New Year, new atmosphere, I made one for each of you. If there is anything that doesn't fit, tell me and I can change it for you."

Yu Qing unfolded the pleated skirt and compared it to her body, and laughed: "The Royal Concubine's craftsmanship is good, but this skirt may be too tight for a girl of Fengguan's age, but I..."

"Don't talk about age."

Shi Fengque looked over with clear eyes, and said encouragingly with a firm tone: "A girl with a good appearance like you is always a shirt for the person, not the person. Besides, you are still a Yunying, so how can you speak in an old-fashioned way? Why not try wearing it and standing with Fengguan, you will definitely look like a pair of sisters."

Yu Qing looked at her with a bit of surprise. Even though he "bullied" her so much on a daily basis, this woman really didn't bear a grudge in her heart.

"Listen to my aunt and give it a try."

Shi Fengguan also folded his hands and chimed in, "You are like my aunt and Master Xie. You don't look your age. If you didn't dress old-fashioned, others wouldn't call you Yu Niang Yu Niang."

"..."

The two phoenixes of the Shi family have the same temperament. Although they are usually "bullied", they always remember the good things about others first, so they are soft-hearted and will not bear grudges even if there are minor quarrels.

People like this are easy to bully.

Yu Qing's almond-shaped eyes curved even more when she smiled. She turned to the young man next to her, but saw that his face was also serious: "I remember the first time I saw you, I really thought you were some teenage girl with a very tender face."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What? You don't believe it?"

Seeing that the three of them were speechless, the young man raised his finger and wanted to point to the sky: "God is my witness, I, Wei Mingqi, like to tell the truth."

"Death face——"

Mei Xing, who was holding his hand, rolled her eyes coquettishly, then withdrew her hand and turned around, saying, "Forget it, I can't let people down. I'll pretend to be a little girl today."

"..."

Inside the main room, Xie Beiling, who was listening to the noise outside, withdrew his attention, then looked in front of him and wanted to sigh.

So embarrassing——
