Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 43 The military rations are lost
  After three days of cooking behind closed doors, it was finally quite effective.

Liu Xiu also gradually mastered it and became familiar with it. Now he can start operating it alone without having to refuse to watch.

As soon as daylight dawned, Xie Xie leaned on her waist and went back to her room to sleep.

"You should rest quickly and don't die suddenly." Although she wanted to make money, she didn't want to risk her life.

Liu Xiu responded and continued to work hard.

Looking at her, she felt like she was seeing herself in the past.

Because she was born mediocre, once someone lends a helping hand, even if it is a weak and insignificant light, she will try her best to catch it.

That's what Liu Xiu is.

Xie Xie thought vaguely, climbed into bed, casually pulled out the hairpin from his head, put it between the pillows, and fell asleep.

It was as if I had just closed my eyes.

There was a violent knock on the door.

"Miss, second miss!"

"Something serious has happened, please wake up!"

Just when Jiang You was so anxious that he almost cried, Xie Xie got up and opened the door.

"I'm not dead, why are you crying?" Her eyes were bruised and she asked tiredly with her eyelids open.

Jiang You choked up and said: "Someone from the palace came to report just now, saying that the eldest lady was ambushed on the way to transport food and lost the army food. His Majesty ordered it to be recovered within three days, otherwise he would be imprisoned for questioning! When the Lord heard the news, he couldn't bear it for a moment. Stop, I fainted!"

Immediately after refusing, he no longer felt sleepy. He casually put on a coat and went straight to the main courtyard.

Xie Shen has an easy-going nature, and there are not many manpower in the courtyard. There is only one personal steward and two servants to serve him.

"Have you called the doctor?" asked the servant in charge of taking care of him.

"I called, but the doctor hasn't come out yet."

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the doctor came out.

"General Xie is not seriously ill. He is just overworked and has damaged his health. I will prescribe him some medicine and take a few months to recover."

"Excuse me." He declined, asked Manager Zhang to see him off, and hurried out with Jiang You.

"Go to Tai Tu's Mansion."

With such a big thing happening, Xie Xie couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he had no choice but to go find the Grand Tutor, who was closer than his own mother.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the guards in the Taifu's Mansion saw that it was the Xie family's carriage and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The Taifu has been announced to the palace by His Majesty. He said that the second lady will wait for her return at the mansion."

He refused and sighed secretly, Jiang was still old and hot. It seemed that the Taifu had expected that he would come, so he was led into the mansion.

It happened that Dugu Xiwei was not in the house, and the servant said that His Majesty ordered him to hold a poetry meeting recently, so he always went out before dawn these days and would not come back until dusk.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a servant outside the door calling: "Sir, why are you back?"

"Is Xie Er leaving?"

"No, I'm waiting in the hall."

Immediately afterwards, Dugu Xi pushed the door open slightly and entered.

Xie Xie stood up after hearing the sound. The two of them were peers and there was no need to salute, but the expression on her face at this moment was a bit at a loss.

Their eyes met, and then the two moved away from each other.

The pale pink thin lips took a few breaths.

Without waiting for her to speak, he opened his mouth and backed away, then came to her side.

"I heard the news," he said.

His expression was no longer as lifeless as before.

He nodded and sat down, "I don't know what to do, so I came to ask Aunt Jin."

"General Xie, are you okay?" Dugu Xi sat down at the side, with only a long desk between them.

Xie Xie said with mixed feelings: "It's okay." He was not a talkative person, but seeing her silence, he worried that she was overly worried, so he deliberately found some topics to entertain her.

Xie Xie knew that this was already very embarrassing for him, so he deliberately eased the atmosphere and said, "It's okay. You are busy with your business. You don't have to accompany me deliberately."

Unexpectedly, Dugu Xiwei replied coldly, "Nothing."

The two of them were in awkward silence——

Xie refused to stay up for several nights. In the silence, he soon felt sleepy.

Just as she yawned and her eyelids started to fight.

Dugu Xiwei suddenly mentioned the poem she wrote at the lotus banquet.

"That poem of yours is now rated as the top one in the Yuedan Review."

That voice that usually sounded so pleasant now sounded a bit torturous, speaking tirelessly in his ears.

Xie Xie forced himself to keep his spirits up and was a little confused for a moment.

"Oh, just judge, it's just a spur of the moment thing anyway."

Dugu Xi frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with her nonchalant tone.

Then he cast a slightly cool gaze and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to host the Moon Festival Poetry Review in order to recommend talented people to become officials. This is a great opportunity."

Understanding the hint in his words, he declined the doubt and asked: "Is it possible that you want to recommend me to become an official?"

Dugu Xi sat upright with a cold and handsome profile. As if to avoid suspicion, the words coming out of his mouth were cold and hard, "If after the poetry meeting is held this month, no one can do better than you, I will naturally recommend you impartially." .”

She quickly said no, "I have no intention of becoming an official, so you don't need to recommend me impartially."

Is there anyone in this world who doesn’t want to become an official?

Dugu Xi opened his mouth slightly, even thinking that he heard wrongly, "What did you just say? You don't want to become an official?"

"Yes." Decei crossed his arms and leaned back, "What's the benefit of being an official? Not only do you have to be disciplined every day, but you also have to be careful everywhere. I have a loose nature. Now that I have Mr. Xie's discipline, I have been very careful. I have a headache, I don’t want to be stared at and poked in the spine by all the civil and military officials.”

"You!" Dugu Xi was slightly shocked by her shocking remarks, and asked in a soft voice, "Don't you have any ambition?"

She refused to stare at him, her consciousness a little blurry, "Of course."

Seeing that she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, Dugu Xiwei didn't ask any more questions, just frowned and ordered the boy to get the bed sheet.

This night, I never slept deeply and soundly.

But when I woke up, the back of my neck hurt terribly.

"I think she has a stiff neck." Seeing that she had woken up, Dugu Xiwei ordered the servant to bring her some tea for mouthwash and a handkerchief to wipe her face. She declined and took it with some embarrassment, wiped it on herself, and asked, "Aunt Jin hasn't come back yet?"

After studying day and night for the past few days, she and Liu Xiu had not had a good night's sleep in several days, and they even rushed to the Taifu's Mansion without a face in the morning.

Dugu Xi was holding a volume of books at the side. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and responded, "Your Majesty must have given you a meal."

She asked again: "What time is it? How long have I been asleep?"

"It's just past Youshi."

Oh my god, she slept for so long.

In fact, Dugu Xiwei did not expect that she could sleep for so long.

Xie Xie suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound, and she touched her belly. It didn't sound like her own.

She turned her head to look at him, "You won't always be here to guard me, right?"

Dugu Xi closed the book slightly and saw a big word "account" written on the cover.

I couldn't help but asked curiously: "Are you still looking at this? Is it possible that you are in charge of everything in the house?"

He frowned, "Of course it's me."

The affairs of the inner house have always been left to men. Therefore, the men of Jiyue Kingdom have to be proficient in planning since childhood, in order to make plans for the future.

Why do you refuse and act like you've never seen anything before? Dugu Xi slightly didn't understand.
