The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

When Uncle Jiang Wu came back, he was holding two oil-paper bags filled with sugar-roasted chestnuts.

After entering the room, he took off his linen clothes. He was dressed in a dark straight-laced suit, with an upright posture and steady steps.

"...I saw these oil chestnuts from Qianxi on the way back." Uncle Jiang Wu handed an oil-paper bag to Mother Cheng, "I bought some extra. I'll ask the kitchen to make you chestnut cakes tomorrow." He spoke to Gu Jinchu in a low and soft voice.

Mother Cheng took it and took it to the small kitchen, telling them that they could serve dinner.

Uncle Jiang Wu was sitting at the table on the kang. The oil chestnuts were no bigger than the Chinese chestnuts, and they looked particularly small between Uncle Jiang Wu's slender fingers.

He applied gentle pressure with his thumb and index finger, creating a small crack at the corner of the chestnut, revealing the plump golden flesh.

Fifth Master Jiang stretched out his arms slightly, his eyes full of doting, and fed Gu Jinchu, who was sitting opposite him, "It was thanks to Lord Qin's reminder that I came out of the palace."

He still couldn't call Qin Lang "father-in-law", unlike Zheng Kaicheng, who could call him uncle directly.

He is very close in age to Qin Lang, and Qin Lang's personality and the way he speaks sometimes make it impossible to regard him as an elder.

Gu Jinchu opened her red lips slightly, revealing some of her white teeth. She bit the fruit between Jiang Wuye's fingers, pressed it against one side of her cheek, and said softly:

"My mother likes to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts. Whenever I went back to my grandparents' home in Baodi, my grandfather would roast them himself."

My grandparents only had one daughter, mother, and they loved her like a treasure. Now that she is married to Lord Qin of the Imperial Guard, mother has become the envy of many people.

Gu Jinchu was making small hats for the children. Uncle Jiang Wu looked over and thought they were very cute.

His fingers were greasy and it was inconvenient to touch, so he gestured in the air. Seeing that it was not as wide as his palm, he smiled and asked, "The child's head is round... Will it be difficult to put it on?"

Gu Jinchu raised his hand and used his fingers to prop up the small piece of cloth. The little tiger embroidered on it looked majestic and lifelike.

She turned her wrist to show Master Jiang Wu the position behind her head, and raised the corners of her mouth, "I'm ready here, and I'll close it after the children are born... If the size is not suitable, it can be changed."

Master Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Jin Chu is so smart, no wonder he manages Yuan Yuan Hall in such an orderly manner."

Gu Jinchu gave him a coquettish look. It was easy for Fifth Master Jiang to coax people these days.

Who would have imagined that the young Dali Temple Minister, who could make things happen with a wave of his hand in the court, was such a "sweet-talker" at home.

Soon, the servants brought up dinner.

During the period of national mourning, people can only eat vegetarian food and are not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat.

Although Mr. Jiang Wuye has a good alcohol tolerance and rarely drinks at home, he is a meat lover.

On the kang table, the servants placed slices of cabbage with vinegar, stewed tofu with bamboo shoots and mushrooms, sweet and sour mushrooms, and three-fresh tofu soup. The staple foods were red bean paste buns and fried cakes.

Uncle Jiang Wu poured a bowl of soup and placed it next to Gu Jinchu, then naturally handed her a plump, white and soft bean paste bun.

The maids and servants who were serving beside them had long been accustomed to their two masters not relying on others to do things for them. After the meals and bowls were placed, they quietly retreated to the door.

Tofu stewed with winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and sweet and sour mushrooms. From the appearance, you can't tell that this is a vegetarian dish.

Gu Jinchu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of Master Jiang Wu.

A pair of beautiful eyes were slightly curved, and under the candlelight, the arc at the end of the eyes seemed to shine as brightly as stars, and the voice was gentle: "Try it, is it to your taste?"

The last time I went to Huguo Temple, these two dishes were in the vegetarian meal, and Jiang Wuye seemed quite satisfied. She specially asked the small kitchen to prepare the dinner today.

Master Jiang Wu picked up the dish with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After tasting it carefully, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes:

“…It tastes good, smells appetizing, and tastes great. Especially the sweet and sour mushroom dish, which is so real that it’s hard to tell the difference.”

Jin's ancestors had been imperial chefs. Later, when the court changed, the Jin family was bought by him and became the head chef of Qianweilou.

When he learned that his mother-in-law was looking for a cook for Jin Chu in the small kitchen, he took great pains to send Jin to the Gu family.

And Jin Chu still doesn't know all this.

Gu Jinchu's delicate and bright face was filled with a happy smile. He nodded slightly, his watery eyes sparkling.

The mushroom soup in dinner was particularly appetizing and increased her appetite.

At this time, a servant came in and reported that someone from the main house wanted to see the lady.

Gu Jinchu nodded after hearing this. A girl in a plain bodice with her head lowered walked into the room. She took three or two steps to the big kang by the window and knelt down with a plop.

With her forehead on the ground, her voice trembled: "Fifth Master, Fifth Madam, I am Qi Yu who is by the side of the eldest young lady of Song Taoyuan... Please ask Miss Bai Zhi to come over."

It was Saitama, the head maid of Songtao Garden. Gu Jinchu had seen her beside Meng before.

Why is she begging like this? What happened?

And you specifically asked for Bai Zhi?

It's already so late...

Master Jiang Wu gently placed the chopsticks in his hand on the chopstick holder, raised his eyes and asked her, "I remember that the wife of the prince always looked for Doctor Wei in Zhengxili. Can't you find anyone in the clinic at this time?"

Saitama slowly raised her head, her face terrified. She looked away, not daring to meet the gaze of Master Jiang Wu.

She said in a trembling voice: "In reply to the Fifth Master, the Madam has sent someone to fetch Doctor Wei... The Madam is worried, so she asked me to ask Miss Baizhi to come over and take a look..."

Chen Ge'er is the eldest son and grandson of the first wife, and the only great-grandson of the Duke. This shows how much he is valued in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Gu Jinchu couldn't possibly say anything to shirk her responsibility, so she asked someone to bring a cloak to keep warm, and planned to take Bai Zhi with her to take a look in person.

Master Jiang Wu stood up, raised his hand to tie the cloak on her chest, and whispered, "I'll go with you."

Gu Jinchu thought so too. The incident happened suddenly and he always felt that there was something weird about it.

Saitama stood up from the ground, bowed and said, "Fifth Master, Fifth Madam, I will lead the way for you."

She walked quickly to the door of the main house, picked up the lantern under the veranda, and walked in front, looking back every few steps, with an anxious and hurried look on her face.

When they arrived at the eldest young master's courtyard, the room was brightly lit with candles. Hearing the servants' greetings, Mrs. Meng stood up from the kang, came over with red eyes, bowed and greeted, and said:

"Fifth Aunt, Brother Chen has been in a coma since breakfast... There is nothing I can do..."

Jiang Chengming walked out of the inner room with Chen Ge'er in his arms, his face full of worry:

"Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, I am sorry to bother you so late at night... I really have no choice, please ask Miss Bai Zhi to take a look at Brother Chen..."
