Fang Wuniang put the sleeping Du Hengshuang on the bed and urged Du Xiancheng to take a bath.

"You smell of alcohol all over your body, you can't suppress it even after changing clothes. I think Shuang'er was fainted by your alcohol smell." Fang Wuniang covered her sleeves and smiled, pushing Du Xiancheng to the cubicle to take a shower.

"How can there be alcohol smell? If you don't believe me, you can smell it..." Du Xiancheng lowered his head, and kissed Fang Wuniang's face with a snap, "...wait for me to come back..."

"Well, I'll wait for you." Fang Wuniang blushed and pushed Du Xiancheng out.

A large bathtub with a scent of pine, half the height of a person, was placed in the center of the room.

The bathtub was filled with steaming hot soup.

Du Xiancheng took off his outer robe, picked up the bath towel hanging on the edge of the bathtub, raised his legs and sat down.

The hot soup in the bathtub shook for a while, wrapping Du Xiancheng's body in it.

Du Xiancheng let out a long breath, closed his eyes and lay on his back on the edge of the bathtub, rolled the bath towel into a ball, put it on his forehead, and relaxed his whole body.

Although it has been five years since he left the battlefield, that imprint has remained deep in his memory, even in his bones.

……

The rugged mountain road, the wind and snow all over the sky, the soldiers in front were so tired that they sat down on the side of the road to rest, but once they sat down, they couldn’t get up again...

They could only keep going forward, over mountains and ridges, but they were ambushed by each other.

The boundless flying arrows are like locusts all over the sky, swishing down, everyone just hugs their heads and flees around.

Xiao Xiangsheng pulled him behind the rocks, only to escape the first round of arrow rain.

Goguryeo people suddenly rushed out from all directions and surrounded them.

Big knives, spears, chain locks, even kitchen knives with a chipped edge and scissors with broken handles all flew over.

The [-] vanguard troops were buried alive in the poor mountains and rivers of Goguryeo.

……

A pagoda built with the heads of [-] great Zhou soldiers.

On the pagoda, his two elder brothers looked at Du Xiancheng with eyes of death.

……

Du Xiancheng woke up with a start, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat, but forgot that he was in the bathtub, his hands were covered with water, and when he wiped it on his face, he couldn't tell where it was sweat or the hot soup used for bathing in the bathtub.

I hope that days of war like that will never come back again.

Du Xiancheng got up from the bathtub, wiped his body casually, changed into a round neck soft sweater, and went to the bedroom.

Fang Wuniang was half lying on the bed, looking at him affectionately.

Du Xiancheng suddenly lost interest, smiled wryly and turned off the lights, pulling Fang Wuniang into his arms, "Go to sleep. I have to go to the store to check the inventory tomorrow."

"Do you have something on your mind?" Fang Wuniang asked softly, stroking Du Xiancheng's chest.

Du Xiancheng closed his eyes and pushed her hand away, "It's okay, I'm just tired."

Du Xiancheng just came back from Jiangnan.In order to catch up with Du Hengshuang's Catch the Zhou Ceremony, he hastened his horse, almost without sleep for several days.

Fang Wuniang understood and kissed him on the cheek without any resentment.

The family of three fell asleep together.

……

In the Xiao's mansion not far from the Du's mansion, Xiao Xiangsheng had just finished bathing and sat on the bed.

Long Xiangye unfolded the quilt for him, then blew out the lamp by herself, came up and lay down beside him, leaning sideways to the side.

"Master, the daughter of the Du family is still young, has the master really thought it through?" Long Xiangye asked cautiously.

Xiao Xiangsheng said "Yes", "Xiancheng and I are life-and-death friends, and I can trust his moral education."

Now that Xiao Xiangsheng agreed, Long Xiangye shut up, and agreed with a smile: "Master's vision can't be wrong, I believe in you."

After a long time, Long Xiangye turned over and saw Xiao Xiangsheng opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and said with a smile: "Is the master still asleep?"

Xiao Xiangsheng said "hmm" again, simply sat up from the bed, put on a round-neck robe at the end of the bed, and asked Long Xiangye: "I'm going out to do business tomorrow, and your mother's family won't let them Come to the door."

Long Xiangye's face turned red, one hand tightly clutched the silk shirt on her chest, and murmured: "Master, do you know all about it?"

Seeing Long Xiangye's distressed look, Xiao Xiangsheng couldn't bear it.But thinking about it again, she is a concubine, and she was used to seeing her aunt's face at home since she was a child. Later, her aunt decided to match this good marriage, and she had to obey her aunt's advice.Not to mention taking a few thousand taels of silver back to her natal family, even if she was asked to share half of the Xiao family's wealth back, she would probably be willing. ——At this time, she definitely can't think of those three obediences and four virtues.Because her two brothers and sisters from the same mother are still in Long's house.

In fact, it is also my own fault.At the beginning, I and Xiancheng settled down and wanted to start a family.Du Xiancheng just wanted to find a stunning woman with a pungent and generous personality who could manage a family.At that time, they were just ordinary salt merchants. Although they had a large scale, they had no official status and would be destroyed by the official family at any time.Unlike the status of "Yuanwailang" bestowed by the imperial court now, no officials would dare to deal with them secretly.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants were always at the bottom.They have no rights and interests, and they pay the most in all kinds of taxes. According to the law, merchants are not allowed to wear silk and satin.Of course, no one obeys in private.

With such an identity, he actually wanted to marry a woman from a scholarly family as his wife.

Later, the entrusting person talked about many families, but only Long Xiucai's family was willing to marry his concubine daughter Long Xiangye.Fortunately, Long Xiangye's aunt is a capable one. She didn't just oppress the concubines, but taught them carefully. She was also able to read and write since she was a child.Now that he has the status of Yuanwailang, Long Xiangye is obviously much better than Fang Wuniang when he goes out to socialize.

But Fang Wuniang's disregarding vigor is not a loss.The daughter raised by such a woman will definitely not be bad, and she is also the mistress needed by a family of his status.

However, my eldest son, Xiao Shiji, should be taught well, so as not to be raised in the inner house, and it would be bad if Long Xiangye raised him to be pedantic.Most of his family business will be inherited by Xiao Shiji in the future.He needs a heir with means, not an old master who keeps the etiquette.

Tomorrow, I will ask someone to go out to find a school teacher for Xiao Shihe, as well as a boxing master and a horse riding master. We must start looking for talents.

Thinking of Xiao Shiji's appearance, Xiao Xiangsheng smiled slightly. ——This son, he is very satisfied.In the future, you have to make it clear to the concierge that if someone from the Long family wants to come to the door, you have to tell him.Don't report to the inner house casually, let the mistress know.

It's time for Long Xiangye's sister to find her husband's family, otherwise, after a while, she might be pushed on herself.

It's not good to delay others if you don't want to take a concubine yourself.

But Long Xiangye couldn't fall asleep.She never expected that her natal family, which she was so proud of, would be ordered by the master not to come again!
