Han Xiang

Chapter 218 Entangled and Envious

The bosom brother, Mr. Zhang?How can I not believe it?
Seeing that Long Xiang had doubts, Zhang Fei recounted the previous conversation.

Long Xiang finally understood why he was "scarred", and it turned out that the third master really did the work.

A good businessman, somehow doing personnel work, Long Xiang's surprise is also understandable.

Since Lei Xu was 'moved' by him, Long Xiang decided to shorten the other party's 'investigation period'.

The construction of Hefei New City is imminent, so the more people involved, the faster it will be.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Long Xiang planned to go back to the house to wash his body.

In the morning, he was fighting on the battlefield, and his body was fused with sweat and blood, which would affect his sleep at night.

Seeing that Long Xiang was about to go back to the house, Zhang Fei stopped and reminded: "Yun Qi, Mr. Qiao came to see you twice, and I don't know what's going on."

"Oh I can save it"

Long Xiang nodded slightly, and then closed the door.

Zhang Fei looked up at the sky, the sun had just set on the west courtyard wall, and there was still about an hour before dark.

Yunqi What does this mean?Are you tired and need a rest?How can such a frail man marry two wives?
Standing at the door for a while, Zhang Fei's ears moved suddenly, and he heard the sound of scooping water in the room. Only then did he know that Long Xiang was washing his body, so he shook his head, and turned to talk to Lei Xu.

There was no running water in that era, and it was a quirk for men to take a bath every day, which was also what puzzled Zhang Fei, thinking that Long Xiang washed more frequently than women.

Long Xiang, the lord of Hefei, can do the same with bathing in ancient TV dramas, but it takes time and effort to prepare. He grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and a basin of water and a towel are enough for bathing.

Start from scratch, top to bottom.

It does not waste water and can wash the whole body.

At this time, Long Xiang used a bucket to perfectly reproduce his childhood memories.

I can't help but lament the power of fate. If I didn't live in the countryside for a few years when I was young, I might not be able to adapt to the world in front of me so quickly.

Long Xiang took a bath every day when it wasn't cold, and washed it every three to five days in winter. What surprised him was that he washed his hair in ancient times.

Because it is very inconvenient to wash my hair with long hair, sometimes it is rare to wash it once every seven or eight days, but it is not itchy or oily after such a long interval.

Long Xiang didn't know whether it was the climate difference, or the shampoo problem of later generations.

The bathing tools are simple and the bathing time is short.

In less than a cup of tea, Long Xiang pushed open the door with a radiant face, and the slight evening breeze from the courtyard blew on his body, bringing the coolness of autumn.

Walking to the back house, I just passed through the moon gate and the screen wall, and found that the bridgeman was waiting by the road.

"Young master? What are you doing here?"

"I just came back from the vestibule. General Zhang said you were taking a bath, so I'm waiting here."

"Well, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Actually, it's okay. My mother heard that my brother will not hold a celebration banquet today, so she asked someone to make a few side dishes. We celebrated by ourselves in the flower hall in the backyard."

"Grandma is really polite."

Long Xiang thought it was something urgent, but it turned out that his mother-in-law invited him to dinner.

The reason is that the kindness is hard to turn down, so Long Xiang followed the bridge to the flower hall, only to find that the second bridge was there.

Although it has been more than half a year since the engagement with Erqiao was made, Longxiang's daily meals are done in the vestibule, and even if there are festivals, he only stays for a while to give gifts.

Having been in Hefei for so long, Long Xiang has never been at the same table with Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan.

So looking at the tables and stools in the flower hall, Long Xiang clasped his fists and saluted, and stood there, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

The Qiao family also had soft seats and low tables in Shouchun, but they just came to Hefei and stayed at Feng Zhong’s house for a day, and they had a good experience with the Eight Immortals tables and stools, so they bought a set in the flower hall after moving in.

Family members sit around the table to eat and chat every day, and the relationship feels closer.

Seeing Long Xiang standing at the door, Chen happily waved to him:
"Yun Qi, come and take a seat."

"okay."

According to Chen's instructions, Long Xiang sat in the seat on her left hand, and the sisters of the Qiao family sat opposite her. After ordering the maids to serve the food, Qiao Qiao sat down at the end with a smile.

Mrs. Chen personally poured the wine for Long Xiang, and raised his glass to respect each other: "I heard that Yun Qi postponed the celebration banquet, so I thought about celebrating with my own people first. We have been in Hefei for a year, and it seems that we haven't been with you yet. Banquet, today just take this opportunity to have fun together."

"Grandma has a heart, so my son-in-law should do it first."

Long Xiang picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, seeing the hearts of the Qiao family sisters beating with heroism.

Thinking that they will marry the person in front of them in two months, shyness, anticipation, and longing linger in their hearts.

"Yun Qi is really proud."

Mrs. Chen nodded appreciatively. While pouring the wine, she couldn't help reminding: "I heard that you charged ahead today, and you were not injured during the fight, right? You have many strong generals under your command, and you should try to avoid doing such dangerous things in the future."

"My son-in-law knew it well. If I hadn't been absolutely sure, I wouldn't have taken the risk. Fortunately, I wasn't injured."

"It's best not to be injured, seeing that the wedding date is approaching"

In the past few days when Long Xiang went out to fight, Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan were worried and their faces were not good. Their heart disease was cured at this moment, and they bowed their heads in shame when they heard about the wedding date.

Seeing the sisters of the Qiao family bowing their heads, Long Xiang suddenly remembered that Xia Houjuan often came to the back house, so he asked curiously, "When did Madam Xia leave? Her dinner with Yide."

Chen touched it lightly with her foot, Qiao Wei was prompted to raise her head and answered in a low voice:
"Not long after General Zhang returned to the mansion, Mrs. Xiahou followed. I told the kitchen in the afternoon that I prepared a copy for the guests in front of me."

Long Xiang cupped his fists and saluted: "Miss is thoughtful, thank you."

"Every concubine should do"

Seeing Qiao Wei shy, Chen hurriedly helped her daughter out.

"We're all a family, Yun Qi is welcome, it's hard work fighting the enemy today, we must drink a few more cups to relieve fatigue, Xiao Wan, come here and give Yun Qi a cup."

"okay."

"No"

Before Long Xiang could say his refusal, Qiao Wan stood up without taking a bite of the food.

She saw that she first took the jug from Mrs. Chen, and then came to Long Xiang to pour wine and serve her. She understood that her mother asked the elder sister to behave just now, and this would be to give herself a chance, and it could be regarded as leveling the bowl of water.

There were originally five people eating at the table, but now Qiao Wan stood and watched alone, but this girl was very happy in her heart. Before marriage, she thought she made more money than her sister, but Long felt that it was not appropriate.

She stood while others were sitting, and she watched while others were eating. Couldn't she become a beautiful 'waiter' to accompany the meal?
Qiao Wan filled a glass of wine, and Long Xiang cupped his fists and said to Mrs. Chen, "Grandma, since we are not outsiders, why let the second lady hold the glass, and my son-in-law can come by himself."

Chen Shi smiled and waved his hands: "Xiao Wan is willing, Yun Qi doesn't have to worry about it at all, besides you are the lord of the city, how can you drink it yourself?"

Long Xiang frowned and thought for a while, pointing to the vacant seat on his left, and told Qiao Wan: "Second Miss, if you really want to pour wine, just sit next to me. We sit and you stand, and we eat and you watch." , it's not good"

"This"

Qiao Wan, who has always been assertive, looked at Qiao Wei hesitantly at this moment, and then at her mother, Chen Shi.

It seems to be saying can I sit?Is it wrong?

Seeing this, Chen smiled and said: "Haha, Xiao Wan, what are you waiting for? Yun Qi told you to sit down, what he just said was quite smooth."

"Oh"

Seeing Qiao Wan sitting down, Qiao Wei was full of entanglement and envy.
