Han Xiang

Chapter 242 A Strange Gift

Lan'er is still a girl with yellow flowers. I don't know if it is the voice of a married woman, but Chen Shi, who has been here, understands it in seconds.

"It's okay." Chen shook his head and sighed, "Women have to go through this."

"But Missy doesn't have it."

Lan'er blushed and lowered her head: "There is only the second young lady and she shouted for a long time"

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen froze in place. She knew that Qiao Wan had a bright and free personality, but she didn't expect that she would be so open about this matter?Long Xiang shouldn't be disgusted, right?
While worrying about Qiao Wan, Chen suddenly thought of Qiao Wei. She just finished presiding over the ceremony and saw Long Xiang go to the east outside the house, so she returned to her residence with satisfaction.

If only Qiao Wan shouted tonight, did Qiao Wei endure it on purpose or did she not consummate the marriage at all?

If Long Xiang hadn't consummated the marriage with his eldest daughter, and the younger daughter's behavior just now was just outrageous, how could the two of them work together in the future?
Thinking of this, Chen frowned again and asked: "Yun Qi finally rested in the Westinghouse?"

"No."

Lan'er waved her hand straight: "The general was in the east room at first, and stayed in the west room for more than an hour on the way, and just returned to the west room, now only the main room is lit, and the east and west bedrooms are all extinguished. Is anyone watching?"

"Oh? It's past midnight, there's no need to keep watching, let everyone go to bed."

"promise."

At the same time as Lan'er turned around, Chen raised his legs and returned to the couch, his inner worries were slightly relieved.

Chen thinks that Long Xiang's staying in the East House is an acknowledgment of Qiao Wei's status as the main wife. He can only ask about the situation tomorrow morning and remind Qiao Wan to restrain herself.

On the second day of the wedding, it should be the post-wedding ceremony, that is, the daughter-in-law meets her in-laws.

Because Long Xiang's parents were not there, the two brides changed to meet their own mother, seeing that the two daughters' faces were flushed, Chen's suspenseful heart was relieved.

After Long Xiang had breakfast, he resigned from the crowd and went to the front.

Because it was New Year's Eve that day, Long Xiang went to the city's yamen, workshop areas, construction sites, military camps, and residential areas as usual to take a walk and have a look, and pay New Year's greetings to officials and people who have been busy all year.

As soon as Long Xiang walked out of the back house, Mrs. Chen called the two sisters into the room. Qiao Wan knew that her mother was going to talk about herself, so she lowered her head in advance to criticize.

"Cough cough."

Chen shi coughed twice, her eyes finally fell on Qiao Wan, and said earnestly: "You husband and wife are like glue, mother shouldn't have said anything, but Xiao Wan is too wild, so don't worry about Yun Qi's opinion?"

"I didn't pay attention yesterday." Qiao Wan blushed and muttered, "I didn't see anything unusual about him just now."

Mrs. Chen frowned: "You're still making strong arguments, how can people talk about this?"

Seeing Mrs. Chen blaming her younger sister, Qiao Wei stammered and explained: "Mother, in fact, Long Lang really likes this."

"Huh?" Chen looked surprised.

Qiao Wei clicked and stopped: "When I went back to the East Room last night, he also asked me to learn."

"Oh..." Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I was thinking too much, and you can even talk to me. It's really a deep love between husband and wife. Your husband is not easy."

Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan looked at each other shyly and didn't answer, both of them looked intoxicated with happiness.

Seeing the intoxicated expressions on the faces of the two sisters, Mrs. Chen couldn't help feeling: "That's fine, let's continue the incense to the Long family earlier, and I also have something to do, it's just your dormitory."

"What's wrong with the dormitory?" Qiao Wei was shocked when she heard it.

Mrs. Chen shook her head and explained: "Your bedrooms are too close to each other, and it is easy to affect each other. When we build a mansion in the new city in the future, we must make Yun Qi Gai more spacious."

"Oh"

When Qiao Wei responded awkwardly, she happened to meet Qiao Wan's eyes.

Qiao Wan pouted at her, as if to say: I knew my mother had bad things to say, so why bother to ask her?Look, I didn't answer the call.

Leaving the East Wing and returning to the main room, the two sisters took advantage of Long Xiang's absence to harmoniously discuss the matter of being on duty at night.

There is no concept of week in this era. Counting from the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Long Xiang is divided between the two sisters on a single day. Although they can work together, they cannot sleep together.

Although the time is divided at night, Long Xiang will not be open all year round because of this. What's more, the two sisters are both the main wives and have the same share of the right to stay.

Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan have been together day and night since they were young, and their menstrual periods have already reached the same frequency. Even though the two beautiful wives love to assign homework, Long Xiang also has a fixed time for rest every month. (The menstrual periods of girls who are in the same dormitory or have close contacts are similar, which is called the 'dorm effect')
Long Xiang was young and energetic. In the ancient times without electronic products, it was a great pleasure to deal with his wife at night, and he did not delay doing things during the day at all.

After less than five days off during the Chinese New Year, Long Xiang rushed to the project. With the tools supported by Sun Quan, the foundation of the city wall was dug in Hefei New City, and the construction of the Shifei Canal was also started.

According to the materials provided by Sun Quan, Longxiang could complete the project in two months with concentrated personnel, but in order to match the planned construction period, he flexibly adjusted the tasks of each construction section and forcibly allocated a construction period of half a year.

In the name of offering condolences, Sun Quan sent envoys to the site twice in the first month to supervise the work, but most of the envoys were laymen working on projects, and Long Xiang easily dealt with them.

In life, pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity.

The gold step Yao, pearl flowers and other ornaments worn by Erqiao when they got married were all congratulatory gifts sent by Sun Quan to Deng Dang.

Long Xiang thought he couldn't let Sun Quan take the initiative, and just ran around like inspecting his own project, so he planned to return the gift to Jiang Dong.

Hefei's population and products are not as good as Jiangdong's. Except for the self-made things like cement, Long Xiang has Sun Quan who can sell them, but he doesn't intend to expose the cement prematurely, especially before the new city of Hefei is built.

Finally, after much deliberation, Long Xiang bought two pigs and sent them away. After Feng Zhong's small-scale promotion of the method of castrating pigs he suggested before, there are many breeders in Hefei No. [-].

The castrated pork first appeared at Longchamp's wedding banquet. The castrated pork did not have the fishy smell of pork before, and the guests were full of praise after tasting it.

The Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, showed no interest in the so-called "scented pig" sent by Long Xiang, and ordered Zhang Zhao to distribute the meat to the city generals.

At this time, Zhou Yu was resting in Wu County. Zhang Zhao distributed five catties of good meat to him according to his official position, and delivered it to Zhou Yu's home while Zhou Yu was out.

In the first month, Jiangdong is colder than the twelfth lunar month. Both common people and officials like to stew hot food with a cauldron. The fragrant pork presented by Sun Quan happened to be the main ingredient.

Zhou Yu came back from a trip that day and was full of praise after tasting Dingzhong pork, so he told his wife Bao Shi: "This meat tastes very good. I don't know which butcher shop I bought it from? I will buy this kind of pork when I buy pork at home."

Bao shook his head and smiled wryly: "This is the meat given by the lord. If you like it, you can eat more. You may not be able to eat it in the future."

Zhou Yu didn't take it seriously, grabbed a bone, and said with a smile: "My lord doesn't raise pigs, so the meat must be bought. Why is it difficult for Madam to eat it? I'll ask tomorrow, unless it's not from Jiangdong."

Mrs. Bao nodded: "My husband is right, this is really not something from Jiangdong."

"Ok?"

Zhou Yu bit off a piece of meat, chewed it twice and then swallowed, "Could it be that the tribute was paid elsewhere?"

Bao thought for a while, and finally answered honestly: "It seems to be from Hefei."
