On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 299 Newlywed 6
It took more than an hour for Li Yan to come back.

When he entered the courtyard, he saw that all the maids and women in the courtyard were gathering together and muttering, and they hurriedly dispersed when they saw him.

He couldn't help but frown, wanting to kick all these people out.

But even if they are all driven out, those who come in are still more obedient to the madam.

And he just wants to buy people in from outside, which is against the rules.

Moreover, all of his men were men and could not enter the inner courtyard.

If you want to find a mother-in-law or a maid, you have to search carefully.

But he didn't dare to use what others gave him. He was also afraid that the slave would bully the master, and he was worried that Xiao Xiao wouldn't be able to hold it down.

And he had to prepare to go on an expedition with the crown prince, so he didn't have the time.

When he entered the door, he saw Xiao Xiao rolling up his sleeves and pounding something in the stone mortar. Two maids were peeling pomegranates beside him.

"Husband is back?" He finally made the pomegranate juice and was about to spoon it out, when he saw Li Yan coming back.

She was a little worried. She had been busy for a long time and still didn't have enough to drink.

But in Li Yan's eyes, the little girl looked at him with bright eyes and couldn't bear to blink when she saw him. She was so cute.

At this moment, he suddenly felt very happy: Fortunately, he was quick and got her into the house early.

Otherwise, when other men see Xiao Xiao's eyes, they will feel happy and want to marry someone before they feel at ease.

Then he thought about the fact that he was going out tomorrow. Even though he had confidence in himself, the sword was blind on the battlefield. If something happened to him, what would she do in the future?
He was struggling: should he leave a letter in advance and allow her to remarry?

Or being selfish for once?
Of course Xiao Xiao didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing him staring at her, she could only spoon out two glasses of pomegranate juice and handed him one: "Husband, do you want some pomegranate juice?"

This is purely handmade, pollution-free pomegranate juice. In the white porcelain cup, the red and white contrast with each other, making it even more attractive.

But Li Yan was not interested in this and shook his head: "You drink, I'll go change my clothes first."

Xiao Xiao didn't even bother with his idea of ​​changing clothes, but sipped the juice in small sips, and finally said: "It's delicious, but peeling the pomegranate is too troublesome."

Then he said to them: "You go pick some more tomorrow and let the maids and women outside peel them off together."

After that, he added: "Before peeling off, watch them wash their hands with soapy water."

"Yes." Menghui couldn't help but remind her in a low voice: "Master, you have to help the eldest young master change his clothes."

"It's not like he doesn't have long hands, so he still needs my help?" After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he also realized that the female gentleman invited earlier did indeed say that when her husband comes back, she must help him change his clothes and then give him gifts. Have a cup of tea.

She drank all the pomegranate juice left in the mortar first, and said to them: "Pound out the rest and drink it yourself. Menghui, go and make me a cup of Longjing tea first."

When she entered with the Longjing tea, she saw that Li Yan had already changed out of his red round-neck robe and put on a half-worn blue robe.

She was a little regretful that she came late and missed the eye-catching scene, but she still said obediently: "Husband, drink tea."

"Okay!" After he took the tea cup, he naturally brushed the tea leaves with a tureen. After taking a small sip, he put the tea cup on the table next to her and pulled her along, ready to speak.

Although he did what Meng Lang did yesterday, he is still a serious person. Holding her hand at this moment, I just felt that what I was about to say would not be good news to her, and I wanted to use this to comfort her.

But Xiao Xiao thought wrongly, thinking that he wanted to get close to her.

They were a legally newlywed couple, and Xiao Xiao was very cooperative and very natural. She sat on his lap, put her hands around his neck, and smiled at him, innocent and sultry: "Husband."

Li Yan was dazzled by her smile, and his originally gentle heartbeat suddenly turned into a fawn, beating wildly.

He also forgot what he wanted to say, so he hugged her and kissed her.

He still remembered Xiao Xiao's red and swollen lips when he kissed her last time. For this reason, when he wanted to kiss and hug her last night, she rejected her.

Therefore, this time he restrained his strength and did not dare to follow his own wishes.

I don't know how long it took before Li Yan let go of her with an unsteady breath. Pretending to be calm, he picked up the cold tea and drank it in one gulp. He went to the clean room and came out after a while.

This time, he didn't dare to hold Xiao Xiao's hand. When he saw her sitting in front of the dressing table again, applying ointment to her slightly red and swollen lips, he defended himself with a guilty conscience: "Well, you can't blame me, you are too delicate. , like soft tofu, it breaks into pieces when touched. ”

Xiao Xiao glanced at him sideways and said angrily: "This has become mine, right?"

Her eyes with amorous glances were so alluring, a single glance could make him fall down as if he had been struck by lightning.

"It's my fault!" He happily admitted his mistake and said absently, "Xiao Xiao, I find that you are getting more and more beautiful."

He still remembered that when they met her in person, he thought that the little girl who was being chased by a wild boar was in an extremely embarrassed state, and her clear, watery eyes were a bit lively.

Even when we met again, I didn't think she was very pretty.

I just don’t understand why she becomes so beautiful after marrying into the family?

Xiao Xiao admits that she is a superficial person and likes to hear good things. She is also very narcissistic: "I am very good-looking, but you were the one who was blind before."

Another saying is: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Because he likes himself, he feels that he is as beautiful as a flower, charming the country, and as beautiful as a fairy.

The upright Li Yan wanted to refute her words, but he averted his eyes and changed the subject: "I will go to the health center tomorrow. You should be more careful in the house."

"My father is often away from the house. I'm worried that my wife is bullying others too much. Today, I specifically asked the prince and the prince to tell him that if something really happens, they will have someone send a message to the prince and concubine."

He handed her a pearl hairpin: "This is given to you by the Crown Princess. You can send it with the letter when the time comes, or just send the pearl hairpin directly."

When Xiao Xiao saw that the pearl on the hairpin was bigger than her thumb, she knew it was rare and asked curiously: "Can I wear it on a daily basis?"

She also has pearl jewelry, but compared with the pearl hairpin given by the Crown Princess, it can only be said that the light of a grain of rice dares to compete with the bright moon.

"Of course." He didn't say anything rigidly yet. He stepped forward and inserted the pearl hairpin into Ruyun's hair: "It suits you very well. It looks very beautiful."

Xiao Xiao took a look at herself in the mirror, and her thoughts immediately surged: "Li Qianhu, you have such good taste. You have married a daughter-in-law who is fresh and refined, has temperament, and is caring and virtuous."

Hearing her humble boast, Li Yan could only say leisurely: "You took away everything I wanted to say!"
