The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 144

Mrs. Xu helped Xie Yujiao to sit down, looked her up and down with some worry, and then said: "Originally, you were pregnant, so you couldn't travel and travel, but now you really have no choice but to let the carriage Just walk slowly and be steady on the road."

Although Xie Yujiao is not as pedantic as some pregnant people, she is also very cautious about this first child, so she is extra careful. Fortunately, this child does not torture her so much, except for her appetite. Well, there was no particular nausea or vomiting.

Zhou Tianhao is still very busy, but every ten days or so, he still finds time to come over to see Xie Yujiao.Now that Xie Yujiao is pregnant, he has no more thoughts, but has become more and more observant of etiquette. However, he came early in the morning and left before noon. It was just that the journey was a little harder.

The people inside were talking, but the woman outside just came in with a smile and replied: "Ma'am, the prince has led a team into the village, and I guess he is here to pick up the girl."

When Xie Yujiao heard the words, she also stood up. When Zhou Tianhao came last time, she did say that she was going back to the capital today. Originally, she just told him so that he would not come here again when the time came. Who would have thought that he would bring someone over here, what was he going to do?

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she hurriedly got up to go to greet her, and she was a little embarrassed when she heard that it was a pair of people, so she turned around and asked Xie Yujiao, "There are so many people here, do you want to invite their family to drink a cup of tea before leaving?"

Xie Yujiao guessed that those people should be Zhou Tianhao's new soldiers, and they probably didn't dare to come to Xie's house to ask for tea, so she said with a smile: "No need, let's go out and have a look."

When Xu and Xie Yujiao came to the door, Zhou Tianhao had already stopped at the door. He was wearing armor today, but he did not wear a helmet. He was tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. When he heard footsteps coming from inside, he turned his head to look at the door. Taking a look inside, I saw Xie Yujiao came out after bypassing the screen wall.The serious expression on Zhou Tianhao's face suddenly relaxed, and he greeted Xie Yujiao with a smile. He was about to call her "Jiaojiao" when he remembered that he was bringing a group of brothers with him today. Grabbing Xie Yujiao's wrist, she called out, "Ma'am."

Xie Yujiao raised her head and saw that his already wheat-colored cheeks were getting darker and thinner. She also knew that he had worked hard these past few months, but being a human being with so many people made him feel distressed. Unable to speak, he whispered: "My lord has worked hard all the way."

Both of them felt that the tone of their words was a bit weird, only Mrs. Xu felt that they had finally grown up and understood what it means to respect each other as guests and raise their eyebrows together.

Zhou Tianhao turned his head away, cleared his throat, and said to the group of people who were already on standby behind him: "You wait outside the door and help these old mothers load their luggage into the car. I will be out in a while."

After entering the courtyard gate, Zhou Tianhao's normal expression just now changed into a happy expression, and after taking Xie Yujiao's hand to walk around the screen wall, he couldn't help asking before entering the main hall: "You miss me recently. ? Our children miss me?"

Xie Yujiao blinked and said, "I don't miss you. As for our child, whether she misses you or not, you have to ask her yourself?"

Hearing this, Zhou Tianhao said to Xie Yujiao's stomach solemnly: "Girl, do you miss me? Tell me now?"

Mrs. Xu on the side heard this, and hurriedly said: "Obviously a boy, why does the prince insist that he is a girl? This is not good, if the boy thinks that you don't love him, and changes his little bird, he really becomes a girl." , so what should I do?"

Xie Yujiao was so amused by Xu's words that she couldn't laugh or cry. Even Zhou Tianhao who was on the side had a helpless expression. Boy, I like them all."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was happy. At this time, Xie Chaozong also came out to greet Zhou Tianhao, and when he saw Zhou Tianhao coming, he kept hugging his thigh to give him a hug.Zhou Tianhao was wearing a hard armor, so it was easy to pick up the child, but Xie Chaozong was hugged by him for a while, he disliked the armor and panicked, so he let go.

"You're in such a hurry today, why didn't you even change your clothes?"

"Isn't this afraid that you will leave early and miss it? Fortunately, you did catch up." Zhou Tianhao only smiled.

Xie Yujiao hummed, thought for a while, and then said: "So, you dragged those young men up this morning, and didn't even give them breakfast?"

"Then I didn't eat it either? You know you love them?"

Xie Yujiao just glared at him again, and called the servant girl to order: "Let the kitchen quickly make a hundred or so flower rolls, boil a big pot of porridge, the sooner the better, steam the pickled sausage and bacon, etc. cage, take it to the door for your soldiers to eat."

After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she continued: "There will be no one at home tomorrow, so there will be no food, so I can only let them eat freely. When I get to the palace, I will treat them well."

Zhou Tianhao saw that Xie Yujiao had made arrangements, but he didn't see any food for him, so he asked depressedly, "What about mine? They have something to eat, so I don't have anything to eat?"

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Xie Yujiao just stretched out her hand to poke his forehead, and then told the maid: "Let the kitchen bring a bowl of Jiuxian noodles, add more skin belly, the noodles should be firmer, and put less chili peppers." , send it directly to the main room."

When Zhou Tianhao heard this, he laughed and said, "You still love me the most, and you know my taste."

Mrs. Xu was busy outside, helping the women carry boxes and crash cars. Xie Yujiao and Zhou Tianhao sat for a while, and the Jiuxian Noodles were delivered.It turns out that these nine fresh noodles are a modern way of eating. Only nine things, such as belly, sausage, eggs, mushrooms, black fungus, pickled mustard, shredded pork, Chinese cabbage, and pork liver, are put together in the nest and cooked with broth. Cooked, then put the noodles down.When Zhou Tianhao came last time, Xie Yujiao accidentally asked the kitchen to cook it, but he didn't expect that there was not even noodle soup left after eating.

"Fortunately, these things are always available at home, otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat them even if you wanted to!" Xie Yujiao saw that Zhou Tianhao was eating vigorously, but it was as if she had eaten it herself, and she felt very satisfied.

"You're afraid of me coming, so you've prepared everything, right?" Zhou Tianhao pierced Xie Yujiao with one word, then stopped talking and continued to eat noodles with his head down.

Xie Yujiao pursed her lips and asked Zhou Tianhao after a while, "My cousin is going to marry Mrs. Kang in a few days. Will you be at home then?"

Zhou Tianhao swallowed the noodles, raised his head and said, "I brought these people back to Beijing this time to rest for a few days. The artillery is much more stable now, but the range is not far enough. I plan to find a few people from the Ministry of Industry. Officials, search for some skilled craftsmen from the people to see if they can make cannons with a longer range."

Seeing Zhou Tianhao say this, Xie Yujiao sighed with a smile: "From now on, Dayong has his own artillery, and the western powers will no longer be able to open the door to China. In the future, we will be the world's most powerful country."

Zhou Tianhao only gave Xie Yujiao a glance, and finally said nothing, just lowered his head and sipped the noodle soup, it was so delicious!As expected of Nine Fresh Noodles!

Hundreds of flower rolls made the kitchen busy. In fact, Xie Yujiao originally planned to make meat buns, but when she thought that there was no meat at home at this time, she had no choice but to make flower rolls instead.When the mother-in-law brought these rolls to the door with a food box, she was very happy to see those young men working and eating happily.A woman's son was also on the battlefield. When he saw this young man who was about the same age as his son, he couldn't help sighing, "What a good young man. If this is at home, we will definitely not want to get married."

After the boys finished eating, Mrs. Xu's things had already been packed.Zhou Tianhao personally helped Xie Yujiao out, and put her into the carriage, and this large group of people set off to the city in a mighty manner.

Zhou Tianhao rode his horse and walked side by side with Xie Yujiao's carriage, and the two of them chatted one after another.

"I've ordered craftsmen to renovate the small courtyard over there in Tangshan. If you really want to go there, we can move there together after your cousin gets married."

Xie Yujiao joked with him inside, "It's been renovated, so will there be decoration pollution? The baby can't resist formaldehyde."

Zhou Tianhao knew that Xie Yujiao was being mischievous again, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, madam, it's all natural and pollution-free."

Ziyan, who was sitting in the carriage with Xie Yujiao, was in a state of bewilderment the whole time. She had no idea why their girl and the prince could say something she couldn't understand at all, but still laugh without burden.

On the long road, Xie Yujiao chatted with Zhou Tianhao for a while, then leaned on the carriage and took a nap. When she woke up, the carriage had already entered the busy Jinling City.

Zhou Tianhao sent Mrs. Xu to Bailuzhou Bieyuan first, and then returned to the palace with Xie Yujiao.It is simply that Mother Liu is staying in the palace. A few days ago, I knew that the two masters were coming back to live, and they had already made proper arrangements.

Seeing that Xie Yujiao hadn't shown her pregnancy yet, Mother Liu looked pretty good, so she came up to greet her and said, "I sent someone to Zhou's house early in the morning to invite Mrs. Zhou, and after lunch, Mrs. Zhou should come. Calling Ma'am."

Xie Yujiao was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, there's no need to invite them today. I don't think it's a big deal. It doesn't matter."

Mother Liu said, "I'm tired of traveling, so I'd better take a look and feel relieved."

Xie Yujiao thought about it, so she let this matter go without mentioning it, and just followed Mother Liu into the Yimen Gate and into the courtyard.

Mother Liu also hadn't seen Zhou Tianhao for several months. Seeing that he was so tanned and had lost a lot of weight, she couldn't help feeling distressed. She didn't dare to say more, so she just said: "My lord also wants to take care of his son. , now that Madam is pregnant, you can't let Madam worry about you every day!"

Mama Liu was worthy of being an old man in the palace, her art of speaking was really good, obviously she was worried about Zhou Tianhao, but she put Xie Yujiao first, which made Zhou Tianhao unable to answer a word.

Seeing Zhou Tianhao's obvious embarrassment on his face, Xie Yujiao just took his hand, groped in his calloused palm a few times, and winked at him and said, "Mom, stop talking, why should I Even if I persuade him, he won't listen, but... A man's family should make contributions, and with this status, he can't really just be a dandy prince, can he?"

Seeing that Xie Yujiao didn't talk about Zhou Tianhao together, but instead defended him, Mama Liu felt a little depressed, but then she thought about it, they are young couples, they just want to be so affectionate!Therefore, the unhappiness just disappeared for a moment, and he just smiled and said: "Ma'am, what you said is right, I am just talking too much. If the empress is here, I will feel distressed seeing the prince working so hard."

This time even the dead concubine was pulled out, Xie Yujiao had no choice but to hold Zhou Tianhao's hand and said: "Are you done today? Don't go out early and come back late these few days, and rest at the mansion for a few days." , in a few days it will be Mrs. Kang's wedding, and you will frighten everyone if you go with such a dark face."

After hearing this, Mother Liu also felt satisfied, and she smiled, and Zhou Tianhao kept nodding her head in agreement.

After lunch for a while, Xie Yujiao took a short rest to sleep, and about two quarters later, old doctor Zhou came.After feeling the pulse, she just nodded and said with a smile: "Wangfei's fetal pulse is very stable, it seems that she has cultivated well recently."

Zhou Tianhao became more and more happy when he heard this, and was about to ask the two of them if they could have some more sex, when the old doctor Zhou said: "However, it is better for the prince to be patient for a while, the princess is weak, and now It is not easy for the pulse condition to be stable, if something unexpected happens to it, the prince will regret it too much."

Zhou Tianhao thought for a while, bear with it!It's a pity that he has only practiced meat for two months, but he will be in seclusion for another year.

Seeing Zhou Tianhao's calm expression, Xie Yujiao couldn't help but smile.You must know that there were too many virtuous daughter-in-laws in ancient times, and when you were pregnant, you were blatantly afraid that your man would not be able to bear it, so how many of them were specially given to him?

Zhou Tianhao sent the old doctor Zhou out, and went into the room to accompany Xie Yujiao. Xie Yujiao leaned on the soft couch, with a charming face, and said in a soft voice: "If the prince also wants to find two evil spirits, then What's the harm in choosing two for my lord?"

Xie Yujiao originally had almond-shaped eyes and pink cheeks, and her voice was thin and delicate, and Zhou Tianhao's whole body felt softened when he was so whiny, so he walked up to her angrily, and pressed her Her small arms rubbed and kissed her neck lightly.

Where Xie Yujiao could have earned him, she had to beg for mercy and shout for mercy, but Zhou Tianhao didn't care about it, he just tore off her little coat fiercely, and saw that the pair of little white rabbits inside seemed to have grown a bit, and couldn't bear it. He couldn't help leaning over to eat a couple of bites, causing Xie Yujiao's toes to curl up, and she couldn't help but groan softly, thus letting her go.

Who knew that he himself would get angry all over because of this, he just swallowed his saliva and thought about going outside.

Seeing Zhou Tianhao leave, Xie Yujiao quietly followed him to the door for a look, but seeing him going to the front yard, she didn't follow him any more, and only ordered Ziyan to go and have a look.

After a while, Ziyan only came back and said: "My lord went to the front study to read, and let Qingque pour two basins of cold water up. Qingque was going here to say that he wanted to get clothes, and the servant came back."

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao knew that Zhou Tianhao must have taken cold water to vent his anger.It's just that the weather is already cold now, and if it continues like this, he will catch a cold, so he ordered the kitchen to boil a bowl of ginger soup and sent it to the study.

At night, Xie Yujiao leaned in Zhou Tianhao's arms, after thinking about it, she felt a little blushing, and said in a low voice, "My husband..." As Xie Yujiao said, a slender hand unconsciously moved from Zhou Tianhao's chest all the way to his navel. Three inches below.

Being teased by her like this, Zhou Tianhao felt like his whole body was going to burn again. He held the back of his hand and said, "You...what are you doing..."

In a few days it was the wedding of Xu Huiru and Kang Guangshou, Xie Yujiao deliberately got up early and went to Xu's house.Zhou Tianhao went to Kang's house, planning to go to Xu's house with Kang Guangshou to welcome his relatives.

Xu Huiru was wearing a bright red wedding gown, and let the bridesmaids toss and turn. Thinking about it, she just watched Xie Yujiao come out of the court a few months ago, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn after only five months.

Xu Huiru looked at herself with heavy makeup in the mirror, and suddenly felt a little shy. She never knew that she would look like this with makeup on, as if she didn't know herself anymore!At this time, Xie Yujiao just came in from the door. Xu Huiru seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw at once. She was about to stand up in a hurry, but Xie Yujiao held her shoulders and said in a low voice: "The bride should sit properly. Xi Niang dress up well."

Xu Huiru looked at Xie Yujiao through the mirror, and said shyly, "I can't even tell that this is me, and my cousin didn't seem to be like that at that time."

Xu Huiru was born with an oval face and big eyes. After putting on makeup, the eyes became bigger and more obvious. Compared with Xie Yujiao, she looked more mature and stable.Xie Yujiao just smiled and said, "This means that you have grown up and become a big girl."

The great aunt was already seven or eight months pregnant at this time, she was sitting beside her with a big belly, she was a little bit reluctant to hear this, she just said: "Yes, you are all out of the cabinet, and you will have your own children in the future, but You really are an adult." After the auntie finished speaking, she looked at Xie Yujiao for a few more times, and seeing that she was still pregnant, she asked, "What did the doctor say, are you still safe?"

Xie Yujiao nodded and said: "It's very stable! It doesn't bother me too much, and I don't have much appetite outside of eating, but it's pretty good."

My aunt heard what Xie Yujiao said, she just frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "It was the same when I was born with Baozhen and Baozhu. The doctor said it was a girl, and it really was born." Needless to say, my aunt said later, Xie Yujiao could understand.

"Chaozong also said it was a girl, but my mother didn't believe it, so she kept saying it was a boy. I like girls, and the prince also likes girls." Xie Yujiao said with a smile.

"It's good that the prince likes girls too. A girl who is as beautiful as you is born. It's no wonder that the prince doesn't like it!"

At this time, Xu Huiru was almost dressed up, and wearing the phoenix crown, her whole body became more and more imposing.The aunt took Xu Huiru's hand and said: "After you go, don't be afraid in your heart, just stay at home, be filial to your parents-in-law, treat your brother well, and Mr. Kang, that's enough. You are young, you The mother-in-law is kind when she looks at it, and she will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Xie Yujiao married Zhou Tianhao. Apart from the superficial beauty, the most satisfying thing was that there was no in-laws in the upper class, and she was the only master in the house, so she didn't have to suffer any more.But Xu Huiru is different. The Kang family she married is a century-old family. The previous generation had three-bedroom families, and this generation also has two-bedroom families. Fortunately, they are all scholars and their family traditions are upright.

The long-winded words in this room have not been finished yet, and there are already little maids running back and forth outside: "Madam, Miss, the sedan chair of the Kang family has arrived at the door! The master asked you to come in and ask, the lady is ready." No?"

When Xu Huiru heard about it, her cheeks flushed immediately, and she was dragged by Xi Niang to sit down again. The eldest aunt picked up the red hijab handed over by the maid, and put it on top of Xu Huiru's head.

When the great aunt remembered that she still had two daughters to marry in the future, and there were still many more at this time, she felt even more sad, and with red eyes, she asked a few more words: "You are going to go, why don't you feel wronged?" Just come back and tell me, don't think I'm your stepmother, just a layer away, I love you just as much as your father."

When Xu Huiru heard this, her eyes were red with emotion, and she just stood up and bowed to the aunt. The aunt had a big belly, and it was difficult to help her for a while, so she asked the maid to help Xu Huiru get up quickly.

Xie Yujiao also pulled Xu Huiru and said, "Except for aunt, if Mr. Kang dares to bully you in the future, you can just tell me and I will let your brother-in-law fix him. It's just like the so-called high-ranking officials crush people to death!"

Xu Huiru couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and nodded vigorously.

At this time, another woman came in to ask questions. It turned out that Kang Guangshou's sedan chair had already arrived at the door.Xu Huiru was reluctant to let go, and was helped by Xi Niang to the main hall of the front yard.

Xie Yujiao helped her aunt and grandma to follow, and she saw Mrs. Kang wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a shy smile on her face, talking to her old Taishan. Seeing Xu Huiru coming out, she felt a little shy , only made a long bow towards Xu Yuxing, and said respectfully: "The son-in-law took Huiru to go."

Xie Yujiao just covered her mouth and smiled when she heard the words, and then remembered that she was pregnant now, Zhou Tianhao would definitely not let her go to the bridal chamber, so she said, "Why did you take her away when you wanted to? You haven't asked yet?" Will Huiru agree or not?"
