The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 179 Zhao Hui's Darkness "Chen Cang"

Because she was going back to her mother's house on the second day of junior high school, and when she came back from the palace to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of junior high school, Ah Ju took her children into the carriage.

She knew that Mrs. Tai would not let her go, but this year her mother-in-law spent New Year's Eve by herself, and she wanted to spend more time with her mother-in-law before returning to her natal home.

When she arrived at her own Hou's mansion, Cancan got out of the car first, ran to the carriage where the maid was sitting behind, and pushed the carts of her two younger brothers over.Nanny Jiang has already stood on the ground, first put Brother Ping, who is tightly wrapped, into the car, and then go to pick up Brother An.Cancan wanted to push her two younger brothers away, but Aju was afraid that she would not be able to walk steadily, so she pushed with her, telling her daughter while walking: "When you see grandma later, remember to pay New Year's greetings."

"I know!" Cancan said crisply, and when she got to Ning's side, the little girl left her mother and ran in first, and paid New Year's greetings to her grandmother while still in the yard.

"Cancan is back, hurry up and give grandma a hug. After the new year, we Cancan will be one year older." Ning came out with a smile, and Cancan immediately rushed towards her grandmother. After being picked up by her grandmother, she obediently watched Looking at her grandmother, she said, "Happy New Year, grandma. She is in good health. She looks better the longer she grows!"

The granddaughter had a sweet mouth, and Ning gave a big red envelope, then carried the granddaughter and walked towards the daughter-in-law, "Why didn't you come back after eating?"

Ah Ju looked at the two little guys in the cart, and said with a smile: "Brother Ping, Brother An, misses grandma, let me bring them back quickly."

"I miss grandma too!" Cancan said anxiously, holding the red envelopes in both hands, it was inconvenient to hug grandma, so she put her little head on her shoulders, so that grandma would know that she missed her too.

Ning slapped her granddaughter's small face, and cast a glance at her daughter-in-law: "I said why Cancan is so good at talking, I learned it from you."

Aju smiled apologetically, and walked in with her mother-in-law while carefully looking at her mother-in-law, "Mother looks really good today, it seems that you slept soundly last night, but I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well here. " This time she didn't mean to coax people.My mother-in-law is 37 this year, and usually takes good care of her skin. She looks about [-], but today her complexion is rosy, and her eyes are more hydrated than usual. People who are familiar with her can tell the difference at a glance.

"Grandmother is beautiful!" Cancan also stared at her grandmother, and boasted with a smile when she had seen enough.

Ning put on a look of helplessness: "Okay, okay, coax me with sweet words early in the morning, don't you just want to ask for more New Year's money? Ask Mei, go, and give the two young masters and the eldest lady another share." Red envelope, prepare one for Madam, see if I can shut her mouth!"

Wenmei went away with a smile.

Aju asked her daughter: "Grandmother wants to gag mother so that she won't talk, how about Cancan gag grandma first?"

Cancan looked at her mother, then tilted her head to look at her grandmother, smiled, and lowered her head to open the red envelope in her hand.

Ning couldn't help boasting to her daughter-in-law: "Cancan must be smarter than her father when she grows up."

Before Ah Ju could speak, Cancan suddenly raised her head, "Is Daddy coming back?"

Big eyes full of longing.

Ah Ju told her daughter seriously: "Hurry up, Daddy will come back when the weather warms up, and bring Cancan a beautiful floral cloth to make a new dress for her to wear."

But I don't know when my husband will return home.

Just after the new year, another good news came from the northwest. Wu Qi, Zhao Chen and two led troops to break the Hu people's royal court in Monan, and forced the Hu people who had been arrogant for many years to Mobei, which greatly hurt their vitality.

Emperor Wen of the Tang Dynasty sent capable ministers to the northwest to assist the two in rectifying the various tribes in Monan. After the situation was settled, Wu Qi and Zhao Chen returned to the court immediately to receive rewards.

At the beginning of February, Ah Ju received a letter from her husband, saying that he had already started his return journey, and that he might be able to catch up with Ping Geer An Geer's birthday party.Zhao Chen also named his two sons, and they were arranged in Ming characters like Cancan. Brother Ping was called Zhao Mingjin, and brother An was called Zhao Mingyan.

Ah Ju joyfully told her mother-in-law the two names.

Ning nodded, feeling that her son's name was really good.Zhao Yunting is now the Secretary of the Household Department, one of the six cabinet scholars, and has a high position and authority. As for Zhao Chen, who has made outstanding military achievements at a young age, he will definitely be an important minister in the future.It is an honor to have great power, but it is also easy to be jealous of the emperor. Brother Ping and his brother will each inherit a Marquis Mansion in the future, so they need to be cautious in their words and deeds.

She teased her daughter-in-law: "Chengyuan is coming back, and it just so happens that you have taken care of yourself, and you will give me a big fat grandson later."

Ah Ju lowered her head shyly.

In the blink of an eye, Brother Ping'er and Brother An'er's first birthday came. Unfortunately, Zhao Chen and others had just arrived in Zhuozhou and had a temporary rest. Tomorrow, Emperor Wen of Tang led all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome them.

Ah Ju was inevitably a little disappointed, but when he thought that tomorrow he could take the child to the street to see Zhao Chen's handsome figure on a horse, and then the family would be reunited at night, that little disappointment disappeared in an instant.

After seeing off the last wave of guests in the evening, Ah Ju could finally rest for a while, lying on the kang and watching the three children play happily.

Brother Ping already knew how to walk, he was able to walk unsteadily from one side of the kang to the other.Brother An was worse than his elder brother, he could barely walk a few steps, sit down and rest for a while before standing up, or simply crawled after his elder brother.Climbing is of course faster than walking. The little guy climbed to the top of the kang and smiled back at his brother, as if showing off. Brother Ping ignored him and still walked on his own.

Cancan sat on the side near the edge of the kang, so as not to let her two younger brothers crawl to the edge of the kang. After watching for a while, she picked up the ball and sat behind her mother, letting her two younger brothers grab the ball.Brother An screamed excitedly, and crawled towards his mother. Brother Ping started to walk a few steps, and then he probably knew that he would lose to his younger brother if he continued like this, so he also sat down and climbed up.

Brother An went to his mother first, leaned on his mother's waist and asked for the ball from his sister, but Cancan refused to give it and insisted that they come over to get it, so Brother An tried to roll over from his mother.Brother Ping glanced at his younger brother, then turned his head to look again, smiled and climbed over his mother's head, ready to go around between mother and the window sill.

The elder son is smart, Ah Ju looked at the younger son who was struggling with him, and when Brother Ping was about to meet his sister, he quietly held Brother An's little butt to help him.With the help of his mother, An Ge'er turned over smoothly and caught the ball with his brother.

The two younger brothers refused to give in to each other, and Cancan kissed each other: "Let's play together, don't rob, if you rob mother again, you will be angry!"

Brother Ping and Brother An looked at Mother together.

Ah Ju smiled and sat up, snatching the ball into his hands, "Give the ball to whoever can call you daddy and mother."

Cancan immediately yelled "Daddy", Ping raised his head and called "Mother", An Geer blinked his eyes, and suddenly threw himself into his mother's arms, "Ball!"

Ah Ju stuffed the ball to her daughter, and signaled her to run to the opposite kang, Cancan understood her mother's meaning, giggled and ran away.

Brother Ping and brother An were in a hurry, and they crawled to chase together.

Ah Ju looked at the way the little brothers were struggling to crawl on the top of the kang, and smiled unkindly.

After playing around for a long time, the three children were very tired at night. Brother Ping and An Ge fell asleep after feeding, and Cancan didn't have the energy to pester his mother to tell stories, so he turned to face the wall and fell asleep by himself.Ah Ju was thinking about her husband, she didn't feel sleepy at all, she lay on her side and looked at the two fat boys.When Zhao Chen left, the sons had just been born, and they would leave in the blink of an eye. I don't know whether Zhao Chen was happy to see them from ear to ear, or turned around and cried secretly.

One year, let alone one year, she couldn't stand not seeing these three children for a day.

Can't help but reach out to touch Brother Ping's rosy face, suddenly there was the sound of light footsteps outside, Ah Ju withdrew his hand, lay down and said softly: "Lvyun? Come in and turn off the lights, we're going to sleep." When Zhao Chen was here, he would turn off the lights before going to the kang, but this year it was replaced by maids to take care of him.

Someone walked in.

Ah Ju instinctively looked up, but lost her voice in shock when she saw the figure standing in front of the door.

The man was dressed in black, his face was dark and thin under the light, only a pair of phoenix eyes were as bright as before.

Ah Ju sat up slowly, unable to believe her eyes: "No, doesn't it mean that you will go to Beijing tomorrow?"

Zhao Chen had already walked to the edge of the kang, turned his wife to sit on his side, and stared at her brows: "I will go to Beijing tomorrow, but I missed you, so I came back secretly. Ah Ju, I haven't seen you in a year." , you don't seem to have changed at all..."

Ah Ju looked up at him, tears streaming down when she saw the scar on his neck, she wanted to touch it, and also wanted to ask where else he was injured, but the man grabbed her waist and kissed him deeply .

When it was finally over, Ah Ju lay on the man's chest, staring at him obsessively.

Returning to his place, Zhao Chen let out a long sigh of relief, met his wife's moist peach blossom eyes, smiled and touched her face.

His wife was as tender as water, Zhao Chen turned over and lay on his side, lifted him up, looked into her eyes and asked, "Do you miss me very much?"

Ah Ju nodded.I miss him and dream about him almost every night.

"I won't go out again in the future, and I won't go anywhere by your side." Zhao Chen gently kissed her forehead, promising guiltily.

Ah Ju rubbed against his shoulder, and wanted to speak, but couldn't help shivering.

Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing, and covered his wife again, warming her with himself, "I threw all the clothes in the house, go in now?"

Ah Ju nodded.

Zhao Chen went down to the ground quickly, went to the door of the inner room and looked around first, and made sure that the three children, especially the daughter, were still sleeping. He quietly stole the middle clothes of the two of them, and put them on for Ah Ju before he put them on himself. Then he carried his wife into bed.There were children sleeping on both sides of the bed, and there was not much space left, so Zhao Chen supported his wife, talking to her softly, and looked at the children on both sides from time to time.

"Are you going to leave soon?" Ah Ju asked reluctantly.

Zhao Chen said "hmm".

In the familiar embrace, Ah Ju slept very peacefully, so peacefully that he didn't even know when Zhao Chen left.

There were traces left by the man on his body, proving that he had indeed been here last night, Ah Ju raised his head, looked at the door and smiled.

Cancan on the opposite side rubbed her eyes and woke up. She saw her mother's smiling face in the twilight of the morning light. She lifted her little quilt and got into her mother's bed, hugged her mother tightly and acted like a baby, "Mom, I dreamed Daddy."

Ah Ju absent-mindedly patted her daughter, but she had already decided to let her daughter live alone in a room this time. If she really didn't want to, she could continue to live with her grandmother.
