Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 1723 My Fair Lady

Xie Fu had not eaten yet, so he went back to He Qing's place to have breakfast.

When I entered the side hall, I saw a maid clearing the dishes. I thought to myself, I haven't had breakfast yet, why is she clearing the dishes? This is a bit like the rule at home before, that once the time was up, there would be nothing to eat and I would have to go hungry.

The maid looked over and saw that it was Xie Fu. She was surprised and asked, "Sir, why are you here?"

Xie Fu laughed: "Can't I come here?"

The maid hurriedly said, "No, no, I just didn't expect you to get up so early."

Xie Fu pointed his finger at the sun outside and said, "It's too early. The sun is already shining on our butts."

The maid sneered, knowing everything. The young master stayed overnight in Madam Ting's room last night. The door was closed the whole time, and Madam Ting, who usually got up early, had not yet gotten up.

But they had no idea that Xie Fu got up earlier than them and went to do business early.

Xie Fu walked closer, looked at the very simple tabletop, and asked, "Hu'er, what did the young lady have for breakfast?"

"The young lady had some porridge in the morning."

Xie Fuya asked, "Miss, don't you have an appetite again?"

Hu'er was surprised and said, "No, the young lady's breakfast is usually quite simple."

Xie Fu suddenly felt that he was an incompetent husband, so Huer cleaned up the dishes and left.

Xie Fu looked at the empty table in a daze, then went upstairs to find He Qing.

There was only Xia'er in the room. She was holding the child and helping him pee beside the pot, making soft hushing sounds with her mouth.

Xie Fu suddenly felt like urinating because of the shushing sound. This shushing sound was really a killer for men, and it was something that had been ingrained in their bones since childhood.

When Xia Er saw Xie Fu, she was surprised: "Master, why are you up so early? Have you had breakfast?"

Before Xie Fu could say anything, Xia'er opened her mouth and asked about Xie Fu's key needs. They were both maids, but this was the difference between Xia'er and Hu'er. Xia'er was so attentive and considerate that there was nothing wrong with her.

Xie Fuha smiled and said, "Not yet. I just came here to have a free meal."

Xia Er cried out, "Young Master, please wait a moment. I will prepare breakfast for you as soon as I finish helping the young master pee."

Xie Fu came closer: "Don't worry, where's He Qing?"

"The young lady has been busy since early morning. There are so many guests in the mansion. Food, lodging and daily necessities must be arranged one by one to avoid poor hospitality."

Xie Fu couldn't help but sigh. He, the male owner, usually had nothing to do, but it turned out that He Qing was behind everything. What a virtuous wife, a very virtuous wife. If you marry such a virtuous wife, you will have to live another ten or twenty years.

"When will He Qing come back?"

"Come back after you've made the arrangements. Miss still has to feed the young master."

Xia'er said this and hushed softly. After a long time, the child didn't move, but she almost hushed Xie Fu out.

Xia Er also felt that it was a bit of a waste of time to help the child urinate, so she explained, "The young master is not used to it yet, but he will get used to it once he gets used to it."

Xie Fu laughed: "He didn't pee, no matter how hard you shushed him, he couldn't pee. If he had, he would have peed all over you."

Xia Er explained: "The first pee of the morning must be urinated out by the young master, so that he can be smarter, healthier and stronger in the future. This is what I asked Dr. Zhou for advice."

Master Xie had no experience in raising children, but since Zhou Yizhen said it, there must be some medical reason behind it. He teased the child, "Son, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, but you've been taken care of so well. I'm so jealous of you, your father."

The child was a little angry with Xie Fu and kept yelling to show his dissatisfaction.

Xie Fu laughed and said, "Why are you yelling? This treatment originally belonged to me, but now you have taken it away. Your Aunt Xia'er is starting to show partiality."

Xia'er blushed: "Master, what are you talking about? You are already so old..."

Xie Fu knew that Xia Er had misunderstood, but he did not explain. A little misunderstanding would make life more interesting. It would be too tiring to explain everything. He smiled and said, "Is it not okay for me to be envious?"

Xia'er blushed, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Hurry up, I'm still waiting for breakfast."

At this moment, there was a sudden "puff" sound, and the child suddenly pooped, which corresponded exactly to what Xie Fu said about eating breakfast, and Xia'er chuckled.

"Young Master, you will definitely be filial when you grow up. You know your father is anxious to eat."

Xie Fu exclaimed: "Xia'er, when did you learn to tease people?"

Xia Er suppressed her laughter: "Tsk... Sir, you were the one who teased me first."

Xie Fu laughed: "If you dare to tease me again, I will punish you to pee for me."

Xia Er screamed, "I'll tell the young lady!"

Xie Fu hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I was just kidding."

Xia Er chuckled and said, "Sir, I was just kidding you too."

Xie Fu smiled and pointed at Xia'er, then sat down at the round table, watching Xia'er taking care of the child's excrement and urine. It is not easy for parents in the world, and Xia'er should be considered at least half a mother.

After finishing, Xia Er held the child to Xie Fu: "Master, please take care of the young master. I will go and arrange breakfast for you."

"Xia'er, don't prepare any watery or yellowish food for me."

This sentence made Xia Er laugh again: "Unless you like it, sir."

After Xia'er left, Xie Fu began to tease the child and cultivate their relationship.

But this kind of relationship cannot be cultivated in a day or two. The child was obviously estranged from him and started crying after a while.

No matter how Xie Fu tried to coax her, it was no use. Fortunately, Xia'er came back soon.

Seeing the child immediately calm down in Xia'er's arms, Xie Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xia Er smiled and said, "Sir, haste makes waste. Show up in front of the child more often, and the child will be familiar with you."

"Xia'er, thank you for your hard work."

Xie Fu went back to the side hall to eat, and his meal was much richer than Tan Tai He Qing's. Xie Fu was not a picky eater and would eat whatever was available.

Halfway through the meal, Tan Tai He Qing came back and saw Xie Fu eating, and exclaimed.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Heqing, sit down and eat some more."

Tan Tai He Qing sat down and said, "I thought you were still asleep. Why did you come to my place for dinner? Didn't Xiu Er prepare breakfast for you?"

"I got up very early."

"Then why didn't I see you?"

"It's very early, so early that you are all still asleep."

"What happened?"

"fine."

Xie Fu said as he picked up some food and passed it to Tan Tai He Qing's mouth, which made Tan Tai He Qing feel uncomfortable: "I'm full."

"When I came here, I saw Hu'er cleaning up the dishes. There was only one bowl and one pair of chopsticks. You are still feeding Nai now. You should eat more."

Tan Tai He Qing smiled: "I am complaining that I can't lose weight now, and you asked me to eat more."

"I like it fatter."

"It's the fat waist."

"I like fat waists too. Come, eat some."

When the food was at his lips, Tan Tai He Qing opened his mouth and ate it. He felt sweet in his heart and inexplicably felt that the food was delicious.

Come to think of it, Xie Fu fed her like this once when she was seriously ill.

Xie Fu came from a prominent family, and Tan Tai He Qing was also a lady from a prominent family. Both of them were not used to doing such disrespectful things.

Xie Fu asked, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

"Is it sweet?"

Tan Tai He Qing gave him a look and said angrily, "It's so sweet to my heart."

"Then take another bite."

He fed Tan Tai He Qing mouthful by mouthful in this way, treating her as a child who could not take care of herself.

"Alright, alright. If you're being nice to someone for no reason, you're either a traitor or a thief. Tell me what you want to say."

"Can't I love you if I'm alright?"

Tan Tai He Qing smiled and said, "You used to be too disdainful to curry favor with others." But Xie Fu said, "As long as my woman likes it, I'm willing to do anything for her." He really doesn't care much about those rules and regulations now.

Tan Tai He Qing exclaimed: "This guy just returned from studying with some love master."

Xie Fu laughed, and Tan Tai He Qing stood up: "I'll go feed the child first."

Xie Fu suddenly let out a cry.

Tan Tai He Qing stopped and asked, "Anything else?"

"Something happened."

"What did I say? You're being nice to me for no reason."

"I really love you, and it's also true that I just happened to have something to do. It's just a coincidence."

Tan Tai He Qing sat down again: "Just be straightforward."

"It's like this, Sanfei's wife and concubine may arrive today, please receive them when the time comes."

Tan Tai He Qing was obviously not happy: "He takes care of his own wives and concubines, why should I take care of them?"

"Hey, you are the guest and you are the host, how can you be rude to others?"

"I will greet you if I want to, and I won't greet you if I don't want to."

As she stood up and prepared to leave, Xie Fu grabbed her hand and forced her to sit down again: "He Qing, aren't you the most reasonable? Why are you so cold this time?"

"Let me be frank. I don't like Cui Sanfei. There's no way I can greet his wives and concubines."

Xie Fu said with a smile, "San Fei is very respectful to you as his sister-in-law, how has he offended you?"

"No, it's just that I hate it."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Is it the face that is hated or the person that is hated."

"All hate."

"If it's because of the face, I can't do anything about it. But if it's because of the person, I can explain it."

Tan Tai He Qing looked at Xie Fu with a sneer, as if to say, "Go and explain yourself. I want to see how you can fool me."

"Sanfei is a person who actually has bad intentions but is kind-hearted..."

It tells about Cui Sanfei's secret rescue of beggars and his charity work, and at the same time explains why he pretends to be a bad guy.

After listening to this, Tan Tai He Qing asked, "Really?"

"You know me well. I never make fun of other people's character. Do you still hate me?"

"Not so hateful anymore."

"Could you please greet them for me?"

Tan Tai He Qing said proudly: "Don't make it difficult for me."

Xie Fu smiled apologetically: "Heqing, thank you very much."

"that's it."

Tan Tai He Qing stood up to leave, and Xie Fu hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I have something else to discuss with you."

Then he told Cui Sanfei's wives and concubines that they liked things in Xuan Dan Zhai, and arranged for them to go visit Xuan Dan Zhai.

Tan Tai He Qing smiled and said, "From the tone of your voice, do you want me to pay for it as well?"

"Of course. They are guests. As their uncle, how can I let them pay for the meal themselves?"

"Oh, you poor miser can be so generous."

Xie Fu laughed: "It's my own Xuandanzhai."

"You have to understand that I am not doing a business without capital. Everything in Xuan Dan Zhai requires capital. Do you know that every time you go shopping there, you lose money that month? I keep track of the accounts."

"My brothers and sisters like it, so it's okay if I lose money."

"Brothers and sisters, you are so sweet."

"When I was in Chang'an, I was warmly entertained by my brothers and sisters-in-law at Cui's mansion. It would be rude not to reciprocate. Since you don't want to, forget it. I'll pay for it myself."

Tan Tai He Qing sneered: "Where did you get the money?"

"I can probably borrow it from the Immortal Court." Xie Fu said and left.

"Hey..." Now it was Tan Tai He Qing's turn to catch him: "You are a second-rank governor, no, you are a prince now, it's shameful to ask your wife for money."

"The Immortal Court won't bother with me."

Tan Tai He Qing looked amused: "Have I ever argued with you?"

"You are picking a fight with me now and want to embarrass me as your uncle."

"You know, I'm not a stingy person, but money should be spent wisely, not squandered. I'll see if it's worth it after I meet the person."

"Let's make a deal first. I'm giving you face so I'll let you do it. If you're unwilling to do it, or can't do it well, I'll ask the Immortal Court to do it."

"Hey, what kind of man is he if he threatens his own wife?"

"I'm leaving now, you can do whatever you want."

Tan Tai He Qing looked at Xie Fu's leaving back and cursed secretly, "Fortunately, I am the one managing the household, otherwise you would have squandered it all."

Xia'er came down with the child in her arms and said weakly, "Miss, I seemed to hear you arguing with the young master."

Tan Tai He Qing smiled and said, "It's still him, he's trying to be the boss again."

"Miss, the young master is not a man who spends money lavishly."

"I know. I just took the opportunity to give him a beating. This is called the art of controlling a husband."

……

When Xie Fu walked out of the side hall and saw Xiu'er fetching water, he knew that Gu Xianting had woken up. He said "Hui" and walked gently into Xianting's room.

As expected, Xian Ting was sitting in front of the dressing table wearing a plain white inner dress, her hand on her cheek, looking thoughtful, with a unique style as she lazily put on makeup in front of the green mirror.

"Are you awake?"

Gu Xianting came back to his senses and saw Xie Fu coming back: "Husband, why did you come back so soon?"

"I missed you." He walked behind her and tied her hair. "Why did you get up so soon?"

"My husband, you still say that it's already noon. It's all my fault that you made Xianting a lazy woman."

"Where did it hurt you?"

"It's all your fault, my husband... you love me too much."

Xie Fu laughed: "It's good to be a lazy woman. My husband wants my Ting'er to lie on the bed day and night."

Gu Xianting said coquettishly: "My husband, you are making fun of me."

At this time, Xiuer came in with some water: "Uncle, please make way."

Xie Fu sat aside and watched Xiu'er helping Xianting wash up. She drank a mouthful of salt water and held it in her mouth, then wiped her teeth one by one with a bamboo stick. It was so touching and interesting.

This is actually a secret of a woman's boudoir, but there is nothing to hide in front of her husband.

Xie Fu couldn't help but ask, "Xianting, did you wash like this before you got married?"

Gu Xianting chuckled, but Xiu'er explained: "Son-in-law, you are silly. How do you wash yourself if you didn't do this before?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "It's just very strange. It feels like I have suddenly broken into a young lady's boudoir."

Xiu'er continued: "Son-in-law, you can go out every day now. Don't you feel blessed?"

"Of course."

After washing up, Gu Xianting stood up to change clothes. After taking two steps, he suddenly frowned and uttered a sound.

Xie Fu quickly stood up and asked with concern: "Good Xianting, what's wrong?"

Gu Xianting chuckled and whispered: "Yao Tiao is swollen."
