Chapter 67.4 – Personally Ferment Their Wedding Wine (4)

“Greetings princess.” Seeing Han Ming Xiang, the people of the Meng Manor all came to greet her. Han Ming

Xiang went forward to help Madam Meng up, saying: “I’d heard just now that old madam is sick, and thus came

over to see. Madam Meng doesn’t need to be so formal.”

“Thank you, princess.” Madam Meng lead the people behind her in rising.

“How’s old madam’s illness?” Han Ming Xiang asked.

“Right now, her condition has already stabilized. She’d just slept for a while and had woken not long ago. Perhaps,

she knew that you all were coming over and thus woke up!” Madam Meng spoke as she lead them into the room.

After Du Xiao Li entered the room, she saw Meng Old Madam leaning against the bedside. Her complexion right

now appeared to have improved quite a bit, and she was currently eating the grapes the servant girl peeled for her.

Seeing Han Ming Xiang, she wanted to bow to her, but got stopped by Han Ming Xiang.

Du Xiao Li came to the bedside and said, “Grandma Meng, let me take your pulse first.”

Hearing Du Xiao Li say this, the servant girl to the side quickly brought a cushion over and had Meng Old Madam’s

hand placed on top, so as to make it easier for Du Xiao Li to take her pulse.

“Girl, the grapes you sent over today were very delicious.” Meng Old Madam said after Du Xiao Li took her pulse.

“Right now, you still can’t eat too many, but eating a little is rather beneficial to the body. Once you’ve recovered, it’s

not too late to eat more.” Du Xiao Li picked up the cushion and handed it to the servant girl to the side. The servant

girl then went to put it back. “Later, I’ll perform acupuncture for you one more time and have your medicine

changed again.”

“Thank you, if not for you, this old life of mine would’ve long reported to King Enma’s court.” Meng Old Madam

said.

“That’s because grandma Meng is a fortunate person blessed by the heavens.” Du Xiao Li said as she got up, and

when she turned around, she just saw Ji Liu Xia and them looking to herself dumbstruck.

“You all are…?” Du Xiao Li felt her hair stand from their staring. Especially Ji Liu Xia’s gaze, it was like she wanted

to eat her.

In the end, it was Han Ming Xiang that broke the strange atmosphere. “Previously, I heard old madam’s illness was

very pressing, even the imperial physicians were bounded by the hands. Afterwards, she got saved by a little

medicine god. At the time, I was still thinking who this little medicine god was, but didn’t think it was actually Xiao

Li.”

“Xiao Li, you’ve really shocked us.” Ji Liu Xia spoke in disbelief.

“En? Your older brother didn’t tell you that I knew medicine?” Du Xiao Li asked.

“Nope, that guy actually didn’t tell me that you have medical skills, and even a little medicine god. Wait until I get

back, see how I’m going to mess with him!” Ji Liu Xia said through clenched teeth. If Ji Liu Feng had told her

earlier, she wouldn’t have been this surprised.

“I just knew Xiao Li isn’t as the rumors outside say, yet didn’t expect that you would be this shocking!” At the

gathering last time, Fu Ya Lan already noticed that Du Xiao Li wasn’t like how she appeared on the surface. That’s

why, she told her grandfather to agree letting Du Xiao Li enroll in the academy. Unexpectedly, the shock she gave

her was far more than what she’d imagined.

“Alright, you all don’t just stand around. All of you sit down and chat with this old woman for a while. Then

afterwards, just go out and play.” Meng Old Madam said.

Madam Meng let the servant girl carry over a few stools to place by the bedside for Du Xiao Li and them to sit. Just

then, Meng Old Madam finally saw Du Xiu Heng behind them and quickly called him over. However, because he

was male, it wasn’t too convenient for him to stay there, so after a while, he just left first. And Meng Jiang Zhuo

thus also lead the others to the pavilion in the courtyard to admire flower, drink tea, and eat grapes.

“What fruit is this? So good! And also tastes a bit like grape wine.” Ji Liu Xia asked in surprise after eating a grape.

“This is the grape that Xiao Li let someone send over this morning.” Madam Meng explained from the

“This is a grape? Xiao Li where did you get this?” Ji Liu Xia looked to Du Xiao Li in shock. She very much liked

drinking grape wine, but had never eaten grapes before.

“Picked it from the ground.” Du Xiao Li said.

“This morning when I saw the grapes, I was also very surprised. Never thought that I’d actually be able to eat this

kind of fruit.” Han Ming Xiang said.

(T/N: I’m surprised as popular as the grapes are the imperial family hasn’t made them offer some up as ‘tribute’.)

“Ah, Xiao Li also sent you some too?” Ji Liu Xia pitifully looked to Du Xiao Li. That look very bluntly was

complaining to Du Xiao Li, why there wasn’t her share.

“You’re a glutton just like your brother, so how can I forget yours? I also had someone send some to the General’s

Manor.” Du Xiao Li said with a smile. “However, big sister Ya Lan’s house, it wasn’t convenient for me to let

someone send them, so I was thinking to let you come with me to my house to get some later. That’s why I didn’t

send any.”

“It’s fine. Xiao Li, you’re already very considerate.” Fu Ya Lan said with a smile. Although there weren’t any sent to

the manor, at least she didn’t forget her share, no?

“That’s right, I plan on inviting everyone for a gathering on that day off. Are you all willing to come?” Du Xiao Li

asked.

“Really? Xiao Li, you’ve finally thought of inviting us for a meal. Hearing my older brother mention it every day,

my saliva has already drooled all over the floor!” Ji Liu Xia happily said.

“Liu Xia’s so moved!” Meng Jiang Zhuo and the others saw Ji Liu Xia’s appearance and began laughing.

“It’s not that I want to be moved, but rather I’m finally going to get to eat Xiao Li’s cooking after waiting for so

long.” Ji Liu Xia said, “You all don’t know, my older brother once ate Xiao Li’s cooking before, and told me how

good it was, how such and such was made, and also how this and that tasted, really making me craved to death. Last

time, she already said she was going to invite us to eat, but never thought we actually had to wait for this long. How

can I not be moved?”

“Haha, we all didn’t know that Xiao Li even knew how to cook!” Meng Jiang Zhuo said with a laugh.

“I also have never eaten it before, but even someone as picky of an eater as my brother say it’s good, then it must be

very good.” Ji Liu Xia confidently said.

“Really? I’m starting to look forward to it.” Fu Ya Lan also became interest, “But if this many of us all go to the

Prime Minister Manor, won’t it be too inconvenient?”

“We won’t be gathering at the Prime Minister Manor.” Du Xiao Li replied.

“Then where are we going?”

Du Xiao Li originally wanted to say the wolf park, but recalling Ji Liu Xia’s appearance just now, she instead said,

“Right now, there’s two places, one in the city, and one outside the city. If it’s outside the city, it’ll probably take

about an hour by horse carriage. If we go there, then we won’t be able to have dinner at night.”

“Then let’s just stay in the city.” Ji Liu Xia said.

“En, right now, with the weather this hot, riding the horse carriage will also be rather tiring. Then let’s just have it in

the city.” Du Xiao Li said.

“But if not in the Prime Minister Manor, where can we go?” Meng Jiang Zhuo asked.

Du Xiao Li smiled and said, “When the time comes, you’ll know.”

When night fell, Du Xiao Li rode in Fu Ya Lan’s carriage back to the Prime Minister Manor, and in passing, had the

grapes from that morning given to her to take back.
