Chapter 260
At the end of the banquet, Xiao Yuanxi also toasted her with a bottle of wine as he did last year, and stated that this was his wish, and the elder sister-in-law could do whatever she wanted.

Xiao Yuandu also said at the side: "There are no such broken rules, if you can't drink alcohol, don't drink it. Either ask Fang Po to warm up some southern wine, or just drink tea."

Jiang Fosang didn't listen to him, now she is more or less used to the pungentness of Beijiu, and she won't make a fool of herself like she was last year.

Xiao Yuandu stared at her all the time, seeing that she had finished drinking as if nothing had happened, and her pitiful face with red eyes and tears appeared in front of her eyes, she lowered her eyes and smiled.

Xiao Yuanxi was cautious and kept the etiquette, he refused to watch the new year with his brother and sister-in-law, so he went back to the guest house where he was resting early.

Xiao Yuandu was hesitating whether to go back to the side room or not, Jiang Fosang asked someone to fetch the chessboard, "Would the husband master play a game of chess with my concubine?"

Xiao Yuandu was sitting, "Alright."

It was said to be one game, but it was far more than one game. Later, the two played chess again.

The sound of firecrackers outside the house, the laughter of the maids and servants, and the knocking of chess pieces and lanterns in the house are another kind of tranquility and warmth.

"It's up to you—" Xiao Yuandu looked up, and found that Jiang Nu was holding her chin with one hand and her eyes were slightly closed.

The sunspot held between two fingers fell off with a clatter, and there was no response even if the chess game was messed up.

Xiao Yuandu stared at her sleeping face for a long time, saw that her cheeks and eyelids were flushed, he thought she was sleepy, and the spirit of alcohol also came up.

Throw the white piece in his hand back to the chessboard, stand up, go around to Jiangnu's side, bend slightly and hug her horizontally.

Going around the screen and putting it on the couch, just after pulling off the brocade mattress, Jiang Nu mistyly opened her eyes. Under the dim light, her eyes were moist and black, and the upturned ends of her eyes were like a hook, which directly hooked the heart. A hidden corner.

Xiao Yuandu froze in his movements, for a moment he didn't know what expression to put on.

Fortunately, those soul-stirring eyes quickly closed again, and said vaguely: "Cold."

Xiao Yuandu hurriedly covered her with the mattress, and then he didn't dare to stay for a while, and strode out of the main room.

After standing on the porch for a long time, my heart was still full of anger, so I went back to the side room to get the whip, and hurried out of the inner courtyard.
-
Winter passed and spring came, and in a blink of an eye it was six years in Fengxiang.

The Shangsi Festival was once again spent in a bleak wind and cold rain, until the end of spring, it was sunny and warm day by day.

"drive!"

The sound of hurried horses trampling from far to near, passing an orchard on the outskirts of the city, the man in front suddenly reined in his horse and looked back.

But seeing a few cherry leaves in the green, the bottom is red: "It's surprising, there are still green fruits in other places. Could it be that the atmosphere here is more prosperous than other places? They are already ripe."

Xiutu looked along and thought to himself, who knows?
Although the clusters of branches are bent, bulging and round, it is very pleasing to look at under the sunlight, but most of them are only light red and light yellow, and the really ripe cherries are like hanging cherries. The small lanterns on the treetops are all red as far as the eye can see...

However, he just muttered a few words in his heart, and it was useless to say what he knew.

As expected, Xiao Yuandu lifted his chin as soon as he finished speaking, motioning him to enter the garden to buy some from the owner.

Xiutu resigned to his fate and got off his horse.

This orchard is not small, it looks like it should belong to a wealthy family in the city, and the person who came to open the door was a boy, hearing Xiu Tu Dao's intention, he directly waved away, saying that the cherries here are only for the owner's consumption, not for sale.

Xiutu had no choice but to report his family name, but Xiao Tong was dubious, so he invited the orchard manager to come.

Although the orchard is on the outskirts of the city, it is in the territory of Wuxiong. Wuxiong ordered to buy cherries, and the manager did not dare to be negligent. While welcoming people in, he called the servants to go up the tree to pick them, "Pick the big ones! The red ones!"

It's really embarrassing, almost blinding, there is no redness at all, so I can only settle for the next best thing, so those who barely showed a little redness were destroyed by hot hands, and only two cups of tea passed and barely made up a small basket , the manager is still urging to search, saying that he can't let go of any one.

The basket was made of straw, with a shallow mouth and a big belly, and it was estimated that it was quite full, so Xiutu called to stop.

When paying the money, the steward refused to take it. "The county magistrate's presence makes the orchard shine, and it is a blessing for these fruits to be favored by the county magistrate. If someone dares to accept this money, it will be difficult to explain in front of the owner."

Xiutu Xin said that if there is something to accept, just accept it, that is to say, the time has come, and now the young master is willing to be a person, but he wanted to accept it a few years ago, but he didn't.

"It's not easy for you to explain, and it's not easy for me to explain. Don't make things difficult for anyone."

Xiutu forcefully handed the money to the steward, and left the orchard with the straw basket.

The steward held the silver piece, "This—" Those cherries are not worth these.

I hurriedly chased it out, but I couldn't catch up in time, I only saw a burst of smoke and dust.

The steward felt uneasy, and thought to himself that when the cherries were ripe, he should send a few more baskets to the government office.

Knowing that no one would catch up again, the horse slowed down, Xiutu looked at his young master.

I don't know when the son developed the habit, but whenever he goes out, he has to touch something to go back.Most of them are food, of all kinds and strange things. Compared with them, this basket of cherries is nothing.

It's like last autumn, when Hanshui and Shentu Jing got together during their busy schedule, and learned that the local sweet durian has the reputation of "a real value cow", he insisted on bringing a basket back to Wuxiong, and told the young lady that Shentu Jing forced it to him. His, he refused to accept it.

Hanxiaoli from Baode Temple, Immortal Pear from Hualin Garden, Immortal Peach from Kunlun Mountain - according to Xiutu, if possible, the young master would like to collect them all for the young lady to taste.

He endured and endured, but couldn't hold back: "Young Master, can't you do something else? Young Madam doesn't seem to like eating that much..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Yuandu was in a good mood at first, but he was a little annoyed when he heard the words, "Who said it was for her to eat, I can't eat it myself?"

Xiutu pouted, "Who doesn't know that Young Madam likes to eat cherries?"

Young Master has never liked these sweet things...nor, Young Master did not like sweets in the past, but that was in the past.

During the whole summer of last year, he did not eat less of the cheese made by the young lady.

I didn't say anything about "Southerners like to cook with sweets and honey to help taste", as long as it is prepared by the young lady, there is nothing he can't eat.

Even as long as the young lady likes it, he is willing to try one or two.

Even the mother-in-law can tell that the daily meals are as much as possible to the young lady's taste - the two of them no longer eat separately, and the fifth son has not said anything.

Xiao Yuandu said: "I don't care what she likes or doesn't like?"

You can use this to deceive others, but Xiutu will not accept this, "If you really don't care, can you take care of yourself, young master? No matter when and where, as soon as the young lady appears, your eyes seem to be glued to her Generally, you have to ask the young lady about every move, every drink and peck—"

Moreover, the young master seldom really laughed in the past, but he laughed a lot in the past two years, and all the laughs were given to one person.

"Admit it, son, you clearly like young lady."

Xiao Yuandu just pretended to be angry, but now he was really angry, and looked at Xiutu with raised eyebrows.

Xiutu bit the bullet and said, "I'll go back and receive the punishment myself. Before that, you might as well ask yourself, how long has it been since you asked about the girl from the Fan family?"
