Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 292: Hearing Good News from the North, But Unhappy (2)
Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly said with a smile: "The third young lady lives in a secluded house, but I haven't heard about it. Today, the news of the northern border has reached the capital. Your father, General Du, won a great victory, not to mention the defeat of the Northern Barbarian army." , and captured some king of the northern barbarians alive, isn't this a great joy!"

Du Heng's face was slightly stagnant, and he said after a while: "It's really a good thing, shopkeeper Hu has a heart, let's see and appreciate it."

Yang Mei came out from the inside, holding a silver ticket and a bulging purse in her hand. The silver ticket was for paying for clothes, a total of 600 taels of silver, and the purse was a reward. .Enough for Shopkeeper Hu to add a new set of clothes to his family.

Shopkeeper Hu saw that Mrs. Xiao Sanshao was not particularly happy, so he didn't dare to say any more, took the reward and hurriedly resigned.Du Heng didn't have the heart to say anything to her, so he ordered the servant girl to send Shopkeeper Hu out.

"Hongling, you go and inquire... Forget it, this is something outside, you can't inquire about it, send someone to see if the third master is back, please come here as soon as he comes back, I have something to ask him."

Hong Ling responded and hurried out.As soon as Hongling went out for a stick of incense, Xiao Ze walked in from the outside. As soon as he entered, he rubbed his hands and stamped his feet and said, "It's so cold, Ah Heng, it's really cold today, alive It can cut through ears. By the way, I met Hong Ling just now, and she said that you have something to ask me, what is it?"

Seeing Xiao Ze heading straight for the smoker cage, Du Heng hurriedly shouted: "Don't go to the fire, Yangmei, go and bring in a basin of snow, let the third master rub your hands thoroughly."

Xiao Ze hurriedly shouted: "Ah Heng, I'm already very cold, just now there was a strong gust of north wind, which made my heart feel cold, my hands and feet were going to be frozen, please let me warm up. "

Yang Mei quickly came in with a basin of icy white snow. Du Heng stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Ze's bruised and purple hands and put them into the snow basin. No, your hands will be frozen."

Xiao Ze let out a groan, obediently rubbed his hands vigorously with the snow, the numbness in his hands disappeared after rubbing for a long time, it seemed that it was not as cold as before.And the white snow in the basin also turned into snow water.Only then did Du Heng hand the handkerchief to Xiao Ze and said, "It can be dried after drying your hands, don't get too close."

Xiao Ze responded, dried his hands and went to stand in front of the smoker cage. While drying his hands, he asked Du Heng, "Ah Heng, what do you want from me?"

It was only then that Du Heng remembered to ask his father about Du Dahai. She saw Xiao Ze's hands were bruised and swollen just now, and in a hurry, she even forgot about her father. She only wanted to prevent Xiao Ze from hurting his hands.

"The shopkeeper Hu from Caishangfang came to deliver the clothes just now. Speaking of... talking about General Du's victory, do you know about it?" Du Heng hesitated for a moment, and still did not call Du Dahai his father, but used a very distant one. The title of General Du.

Xiao Ze was startled for a moment, then sighed softly, and said to Du Heng: "The [-]th day of the [-]th lunar month in the Liang Dynasty is the Ruojiao of the northern barbarians, which is what we call New Year's Eve. On this day, the northern barbarians will have a big feast for their families. The northern barbarians are very fond of wine, and every time they drink, they will get drunk, so my father-in-law took this opportunity to break out of the valley, and with the general Ning Buyi who came to the rescue, attacked the northern barbarians from inside and outside, and captured King Dahan alive, making an incomparable feat."

"Is that so?" Du Heng asked lightly, no emotion could be heard in her voice.

Xiao Ze hurriedly said: "It's just a matter of one sentence, but in the northern border, it is life and death, blood and fire, and it is by no means a simple matter. Ah Heng, father-in-law has made great achievements this time, and he will definitely be rewarded .Of course, I know you never value these things, but..."

"It doesn't matter to me how good General Du is. When I leave General Jianwei's mansion that day, I am no longer a member of that mansion." Du Heng said lightly, then turned and walked into the inner room, leaving Xiao Ze to warm himself by the fire.

His hands were warm, but Xiao Ze felt that his heart was very cold. He seemed to feel that he had worked hard these days, and finally narrowed the distance with Du Heng, but because of Du Haihai's victory, he returned to the original point.

"Aheng...Aheng..." Xiao Ze anxiously shouted into the inner room. He had an agreement with Du Heng that the inner room was a restricted area where he was not allowed to set foot, so even though Xiao Ze was extremely anxious, he did not go beyond. Lei Chi took half a step, this was his promise and his respect for Du Heng.

After a while, Du Heng came out, frowned and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with the third master?"

Xiao Ze said aggrievedly with an exaggerated expression: "Ah Heng, my hands are fine, but my feet are so itchy and uncomfortable, what can you do?"

Du Heng didn't expect Xiao Ze to change the subject suddenly, so he didn't sulk anymore, he just frowned and asked, "Where did you go, why did you freeze like this? Why don't you sit down and take off your boots, and ask Button to come in?" I will rub your feet with snow."

The relationship with Xiao Ze has not been that close, so Du Heng will not do this kind of thing in person, even Yang Mei and Hong Ling, Du Heng will not let them serve closely, or let the buttons take care of everything to serve Xiao Ze's various things.

Xiao Ze yelled out, and soon he came in with a large basin of snow. Du Heng wanted to avoid it, but Xiao Ze grabbed her hand and said pitifully, "Ah Heng, if you If you are unhappy in your heart, you can scold me a few times and beat me a few times, just don't hold it in alone, because emotional discomfort will hurt your body."

Du Heng slightly raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, the third master also knows that he is not feeling well?"

Xiao Ze smiled embarrassedly and said, "My wife is from the Fang family. As a husband, I have to read a few medical books to match my wife, right?"

Du Heng gave Xiao Ze a blank look, and decided to ignore this crazy person.But Xiao Ze belongs to brown candy, but it is difficult to get rid of it if he gets it on. Sure enough, Du Heng was still dragged by Xiao Ze to sit next to him, chatting some boring gossips. Don't mention Du Haihai's victory anymore, the young couple seem to choose to forget it together.

The button pouted and rubbed for a while, Xiao Ze felt a warm feeling on his feet, and said, "Okay, let's get back."

The button responded with a muffled sound, and retreated with the snow basin in hand.Du Heng asked curiously: "What's the matter with the buttons? He's always so happy!"

Xiao Ze laughed and said: "It's okay, I'm just angry with me, don't worry, the button never gets angry for more than two hours, it will be fine after a while." Judging from Xiao Ze's tone, it seems that he often makes the button angry generally.This made Du Heng even more curious.
