    Suddenly being grabbed by the wrist, the messy thoughts in Xu Qinyu's mind dissipated all of a sudden, and she looked at the hands subconsciously. The bones in the palms are long and wide, the bones are clear, and the fingers are also very slender. Even if they are too thin and pale, the veins are obvious. It didn't affect the beauty of these hands in the slightest. The owner of her hands was her cheap husband Pei Weixuan.

    he woke up.

    Xu Qinyu also met his eyes.

    Those eyes didn't know how to describe them, they were extremely cold, a bit like the eyes of a cold-blooded beast, cold and emotionless, being stared at by such eyes made one's hair stand on end, and in an instant, the hairs on her body stood on end.

    Xu Qinyu was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had misread, blinked her eyes, and when she looked over again, the cheap husband returned to normal, his eyes were the same as before, clear and cool without looking cold, a little alienated and gentle.

    The cheap husband usually doesn't like to talk, Xu Qinyu thinks that he has a quiet personality and is as gentle as jade.

    She stammered and shouted, "Fourth, fourth brother, are you awake?"

    She thought that the fourth brother was dead just now, so she was a bit cursing, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she said that.

    As for the look in the eyes that she saw just now, she must have misread it, after all, the fourth brother is sick, and he still has a high fever, and the fever makes him feel dizzy, so it's normal to have wrong eyes.

    Seeing that it was her, Pei Weixuan slowly let go of her wrist, and looked at her wrist again, there was already a deep red mark on the place where he had grasped it.

    "Yu Niang, I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare, did it scare you?"

    He was right, it was indeed a nightmare, dreaming about something from his childhood.

    Thinking of the scene in his dream, he closed his eyelids to hide the coldness in his eyes.

    Xu Qinyu rubbed her wrist and said with a smile, "Don't worry, fourth brother, your wrist is fine."

    In fact, it was very painful. She didn't know that the cheap husband was so thin and had such great strength, and his strong hands were not weak at all. She felt that the bones in his wrists hurt.

    When Wen Shi and Pei Jianing heard that Pei Weixuan had woken up, they ran over in a hurry, and even the two children staggered and ran over by themselves, looking eagerly at their brother and uncle on the bed.

    Seeing him wake up, Wen's tears fell, "Brother Xuan just wakes up."

    Seeing this, Xu Qinyu didn't bother them, and went to the back kitchen to bring the sashimi porridge that had been warming back to the room.

    Wen Shi was talking to his son at the moment, saying that the doctor had checked his pulse and said that he seemed to have signs of poisoning.

    Pei Weixuan only said lightly, "It's nothing serious, most of the poison has gone away, so I can't die."

    Seeing him so calm, Xu Qinyu reckoned that the cheap husband obviously knew about his poisoning, he should have been poisoned as early as in the palace, and the poisoning time must not be short, it is very likely that he was poisoned when he was a child, isn't it? Is the fourth prince always weak and always sick? There is an imperial doctor in the palace, and you can invite the most powerful genius doctor in the world, so it won't be impossible to cure even a little frailty.

    He was born of the empress, there must be many concubines and princes in the palace who wanted him dead.

    Wen Shi probably guessed it in her heart, her face turned a little pale, and her heart was also seized.

    She didn't have the help of her natal family in the harem, and her natal mother didn't really want her to be Emperor Sheng Jing's favorite concubine, and even if she took the second place later, her aunt didn't really want to help the eldest son.

    But after all, she is the concubine of Duke Anping's mansion, a grasshopper on a boat, and Duke Anping also tried his best to help her and his eldest son for the sake of his own lineage.

    But my father has only been a little Uncle Anping these years, so there is no real power that can help too much in the matter of establishing a reserve.

    She never asked about the establishment of the crown prince, she didn't understand politics, all she could do was to love Emperor Sheng Jing and her children with all her heart.

    But she knew in her heart how dangerous it was for princes to seize the throne.

    In fact, she also guessed some of the emperor's plans. During the more than 20 years of getting along with the emperor, she could feel the emperor's feelings for her. He knew that her status was low. If she didn't become a queen, her children would not be able to become the heir apparent. Maybe, since she became a queen, she has no relatives, so she just wanted to wait for the establishment of the crown later, so as not to be targeted by other concubines and princes in the palace.

    But even so, she still ended up in this situation. Of course, she didn't believe that her eldest son would poison the late emperor. The strange thing was that the eldest son was not as ruthless as the second prince, and even dared to poison her own father.

    Thinking of the late emperor who was poisoned to death, and the lineage of the eldest son, Wen's heart ached unbearably, and his face turned pale.

    Xu Qinyu came over at this time and said: "Fourth brother, I made some fish porridge this morning, you haven't eaten anything since last night, you should drink the porridge first."

    Wen's thoughts were interrupted by his daughter-in-law, and he struggled out of the pain. He took the bowl from his daughter-in-law and wanted to feed his son porridge, but Pei Weixuan refused, so he took the porridge bowl and ate it himself.

    He was very gentle when he ate, and he was worthy of being a noble prince.

    Xu Qinyu looked at the cheap husband for a while and was not interested in eating porridge. Thinking that he woke up too, most of her worries were gone. She ran back to the bedside, hugged her wooden box, and took all the copper plates and broken silver in the wooden box. Fell on the bed.

    After making money, the happiest thing is to count the money.

    This made Xu Qinyu think that she only started setting up a stall in her previous life, and the first thing she did every night when she went back was to count the money, counting how much she earned every day.

    The clanging sound of the copper plates colliding with the broken silver attracted everyone's attention, even Pei Weixuan, who was drinking porridge, couldn't help casting his gaze over there.

    His eyes first fell on the girl's smiling face. Her facial features were bright, but she was a little too thin, and there were frostbite on her face from the road of exile. She was wearing a dusty and ugly winter coat, but there was nothing She couldn't hide the joy on her face.

    Thinking of her lifeless appearance on the road to exile, the culinary skills and open-minded attitude she showed in the next few days.

    Pei Weixuan's eyes couldn't help being a bit inquiring, and he only drank the fish porridge she made, but he couldn't help but sighed in a low voice, and lowered his eyes.

    After counting the money, Xu Qinyu laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. Excluding the money for buying ingredients and seasonings, she made a total of two, two, and nine hundred Wen for today's meal!

    Seeing it, Pei Jianing was a little surprised, and came over to look at the copper plates and broken silver on the bed, "Sis, did you earn all this in the morning?"

    Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Yes, I made almost three pennies. It just so happens that the fourth brother needs to rest for a few days to get his health back before we go to Yuanbao Town. I will try my best to earn more in the past few days. When I arrive at Yuanbao Let’s go to the town to see if we can afford a house there.” I don’t know the housing price in Yuanbao Town, if the house is too expensive, I can only rent a house.

    Even Wen Shi was a little shocked. Unexpectedly, Yuniang made almost three taels of silver in one morning.

    In fact, three taels of silver is nothing in her eyes, but ordinary people can earn at most a few hundred pennies a month, and the monthly salary of a chef in an ordinary restaurant is about two taels of silver, but Yu Niang uses How can he not surprise her by earning a month's wages as a chef in a restaurant in one day.

    Brother Feng and Sister Xian also ran up to Xu Qinyu and watched her count the copper coins.

    After earning money, Xu Qinyu was in a great mood, and touched the two children, "Tomorrow, I will continue to buy candy for Brother Feng and Sister Xian."

    The white sugar and brown sugar here are all made from sugarcane, which is expensive, while the caramel is made from wheat, so the price is much cheaper, but a small piece of caramel costs a few pennies, and ordinary people would not be willing to buy it for their children.

    Thinking that it is not good for children to always eat sugar, Xu Qinyu plans to buy some eggs when he goes shopping for ingredients tomorrow, and make some chicken cakes for the children, which are soft, sweet and nutritious.

    After counting the silver, Xu Qinyu put the wooden box away, and after telling everyone, she went to the back kitchen to pack the big stick bones and prepare the soup.

    The big stick bone soup is also simple, add ginger slices, rice wine and shallots to blanch in water to remove the fishy smell, then wash the big stick bone with hot water, put it in a pot and boil it over low heat.

    When she bought ingredients in the morning, she also bought rice wine. Rice wine is better than ordinary wine.

    The big bone soup is ready for tomorrow, and the wonton filling and wrappers need to be made early tomorrow.

    In the evening, that Liang Qianhu couldn't resist coming to eat again.

    Liang Qianhu was very happy to learn that there was a new dish of pickled fish.

    This sauerkraut fish is delicious and spicy, and Liang Qianhu said it is enjoyable and comfortable to eat.

    Except for Liang Qianhu, Xu Qinyu didn't receive other diners at night.

    During her exile, her body suffered a lot. If she continued to make evening food for diners, her body would not be able to bear it.
