The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 145

Kang Guangshou is an honest person, I'm afraid he never thought in his life that he would be asked this question when he married his wife.So at this moment, his face was as red as a big lobster fried in oil.

Xu Huiru was naturally shy when she heard this question, but Kang Guangshou didn't ask, how could she dare to answer, besides, the girl was already shy, even if Kang Guangshou asked, would she be willing to answer?

It's just that at this time, the daughter-in-law is right in front of him, and Kang Guangshou might not be able to back down any longer. The whole room is watching, this elder sister-in-law is so powerful, why is she making things difficult for others like this?Kang Guangshou thought for a while, and only held back for a long time before he walked up to Xu Huiru, bowed politely, and then said, "I know it's a grievance for the girl to follow her, but...just to go down... ...If you have admired the girl for a long time, please, please, please come back with me!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the ladies and maids standing in the hall and all the female guests laughed and said, "Miss Xu, go with Mr. Kang, or your face will burn red if you don't go to Mr. Kang." !"

Xu Huiru was wearing a red hijab, how could she see Kang Guangshou blushing? Just thinking about his tone of voice just now, she felt that he must be extremely embarrassed.It's hard for him to be a parent official, who usually has a serious expression in front of the people, but now he is still being laughed at because of this.

But even if Kang Guangshou asked about this kind of thing, she was still somewhat ashamed to say it.Xie Yujiao didn't know Xu Huiru's temperament, so she smiled and said, "You don't need to talk about it, cousin. After all, the hydrangea ball will be caught after a while. If you are willing to follow Mr. Kang, then let him lead you outside."

Xu Huiru breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, a piece of red silk was stuffed into the palm of his hand, and the other piece was in Kang Guangshou's hand.Kang Guangshou tugged lightly, and Xu Huiru leaned closer to him.

For a while, everyone saw Xu Huiru leaning towards the bridegroom officer, and they all booed: "Okay, the bride has agreed, and the groom officer should hurry up and lead the bride away. If the bride changes her mind later, you can It's too late."

Kang Guangshou who was frightened by this sentence really quickened his pace, and only took a few steps outside before he came to his senses. Only then carefully led Xu Huiru outside.

Everyone went all the way to the gate, watching Xi Niang help Xu Huiru into the sedan chair, the sound of suona, gongs and drums, and firecrackers came and went.Xie Yujiao and the eldest aunt stood at the door, watching the sedan chair go far away, watching the dowry being carried out, and suddenly felt a little bit lost.The aunt couldn't help but wiped her tears again.

Zhou Tianhao was also in the welcoming team, and was in charge of arranging the delay at this time. Seeing Xie Yujiao standing at the door, he immediately gave her a wink. Xie Yujiao was comforting his aunt and grandma, so he didn't have time to visit him, so he just looked at him With a glance, he didn't say anything.Zhou Tianhao was still worried after thinking about it, so he jumped off the horse, walked to her side and said, "I'll pick you up later, don't leave by yourself."

Xie Yujiao said casually, "Then aren't you having a wedding at Kang's house tonight?"

"I sent you back, it's not too late to go to the Kang family."

Xie Yujiao raised her head and glanced at him. Originally, she wanted to say that she was staying with the aunt at the Xu family, but she also thought that in case Zhou Tianhao knew that she would not go back, she would not have any scruples. It would be bad if she got drunk. So he said: "Then I'll wait for you, but you are not allowed to drink too much at night, or I will spare you."

In fact, Xie Yujiao also knew that none of those ministers had the guts to drink Zhou Tianhao's wine, unless he wanted to drink it himself, then no one else could help.

"Don't worry, I've given up drinking now." Zhou Tianhao said, just got on his horse and followed the big team welcoming the bride.

In the afternoon, Xie Yujiao had lunch at Xu's house and just had a mid-sleep, so Zhou Tianhao came to pick her up in person.Xie Yujiao only asked the eldest aunt to stay, and sent the maids and women to the door. Zhou Tianhao dismounted himself and helped her into the carriage, and the group went to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Zhou Tianhao only stayed for a while, and then went to Kang's house. Xie Yujiao originally planned to persuade him a few more words, but in the end he just gave up.In the evening, I ordered the kitchen to make some moderate meals, ate some, and prepared hangover soup, lest Zhou Tianhao would come back drunk.

At the end of the Xu Dynasty, Zhou Tianhao came back. Although he smelled of alcohol, he was not drunk. Seeing Xie Yujiao reading a book in the room, he only took a quick look at her, and went to the clean room to wash up.Xie Yujiao put down the book, and told the servant girl, "The hangover soup in the kitchen can be poured."

Zhou Tianhao came out of the clean room, where a cup of tea had already been brewed, Xie Yujiao hugged him from behind and said, "Now you've learned how to behave, are you really quit drinking?"

Zhou Tianhao only touched the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "I said that quitting drinking is naturally quit. If you don't set an example in the military camp, how can you convince the people?"

Xie Yujiao thought about it, and felt sorry for him for no reason. After chatting for a while, the two went to bed to rest.

Although Xu Huiru married Kang Guangshou, Xie Yujiao still had some worries in her heart. She was afraid that if Kang Guangshou felt sorry for Xu Huiru in the future, she, as a matchmaker, would definitely be the first to be blamed.

"You usually have to remind Mr. Kang so that he can't bully my cousin, you know? And... If he wants to take a concubine or something, you have to tell me first, do you understand?"

Seeing that Xie Yujiao was concerned about this issue again, Zhou Tianhao couldn't help asking: "Your cousin is only out of court for the first day! You're thinking so much, and it's her bridal chamber at this time." Zhou Tianhao said here, but Feeling a little thirsty, he restrained himself from drinking a few glasses today, because he was afraid that if he drank too much, he would lose his mind and hurt Xie Yujiao if he couldn't control it.

Xie Yujiao saw that he mentioned the four words "bridal candles", she raised her head to look at him, her fingertips slid down the brows of his handsome brows, and came to his lips, whispering, "Why? You envy him again. Is it wedding night in the bridal chamber?"

Zhou Tianhao was told what was on his mind, so he just cleared his throat, and finally got under the bed, and said, "Sleep and sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow!"

Seeing him like this, Xie Yujiao didn't try to seduce him, so she also got into the bed, only to feel her body being hugged tightly from the back.

Zhou Tianhao rested in the palace for a few more days, and finally it was time to go to the military camp again.Xie Yujiao also packed her luggage early in the morning and planned to go to Tangshan with him.Zhou Tianhao refused at first, but after Xie Yujiao insisted in every possible way, Zhou Tianhao agreed, and went to the palace specially to ask the emperor for a medical girl to serve Xie Yujiao all the time for twelve hours.

Xie Yujiao is usually cautious, and she is not an indigenous girl, so she has a strong sense of strangeness when it comes to giving birth.Xie Yujiao, who had done a good job of psychological training, was already looking forward to the arrival of this little life with a very calm mind.

Originally, Xie Yujiao wanted to keep Mama Liu under the management of the palace, but now seeing that Xie Yujiao was pregnant with Liujia, she couldn't live in peace anymore, so she had to follow them to Tangshan.Xie Yujiao couldn't hold back, so she had no choice but to agree. In this way, only a group of servants and gatekeepers were left in the huge palace.

Xie Yujiao just explained to the butler, put on the box and bedding, and the group headed for Tangshan in a mighty manner.

Zhou Tianhao originally thought that Xie Yujiao would come alone, so he only bought a small courtyard with two entrances, and he bought it from a well-known local landlord.Now with this mighty group of people, the small courtyard became crowded all of a sudden.But the good palace is really simple, under Xie Yujiao's arrangement, everyone has a safe place to live.

Mama Liu looked at this small courtyard like a farmer's house in the countryside. It was not a little bit worse than Xie's ancestral house. Although it had been repaired with money, the courtyard wall looked a little shorter. Can there still be a princess living in the head?

"Ma'am, it's true. The well-behaved Zhumen Yuwa's palace refuses to live in it, and insists on coming to this place where no shit is found. You can't find a decent market even after walking for dozens of miles. Why do you say this?"

Xie Yujiao knew that she felt sorry for herself, so she smiled and said, "Mom, don't you know, the air in this mountain is good, and it's more nourishing for people! Besides, it's only five miles away from the prince's camp, and the prince can do it every day from now on." Come back to eat, so you don’t have to sleep in the barracks.”

Mother Liu also knows that they are inseparable now, and the princess is willing to live in such a place for the sake of the prince. This kind of affection is extraordinary after all.If it was another Miss Gonghou, who wouldn't want to stay comfortably in the city, besides... the princess is still pregnant now!
"Madam said that the prince will not have to work so hard in the future. There is no woman in the barracks, and the food and lodging are the same as those of the soldiers. The prince grew up pampered and pampered. After all, he rarely suffers from these hardships."

How could Xie Yujiao not know this!It's just that everyone has everyone's persistence. Since Zhou Tianhao has such thoughts, she will support him wholeheartedly, just waiting for that day.

At this time, the servant girl had already packed up her things, and Zhou Tianhao even sent his own soldiers to lurk around the small courtyard every day to protect Xie Yujiao's safety.

Xie Yujiao watched him stand in front of her with a silver armor, and remembered the rascal appearance of him under the fence of Jiangning Mansion that day.This blink of an eye has only been more than a year, how can he become so wise and handsome now, it is really unimaginable that he was such a rascal back then!
The climate in the mountains is pleasant, even though it is already late autumn, it is not too cold. At night, the maids and mother-in-law put on the stove, and the room is already warm.Xie Yujiao was afraid that the charcoal fire would make it too hot, so she waited for the room to heat up, so she had someone carry her into the living room, so that the maids and women who were on duty at night could also be kept warm.

After Zhou Tianhao washed up, he came out of the clean room. Seeing that Xie Yujiao was doing needlework by candlelight, he went up to take a look. He saw that it was a moon-white sachet with a simple asparagus pattern embroidered on it. The workmanship... Although it is not exquisite, at least it can be seen that it is very hard.

"Is this for me?" Zhou Tianhao couldn't help but leaned over and asked.

Xie Yujiao didn't expect him to come out so soon, she leaned her body, avoided him a little and said, "Who said this is for you? I'm just doing it for fun, and when I'm done with sewing, I'll make one for our children too. "

"It's a waste to practice and play. In my opinion, it's better to leave it to me, and then you can practice more, and make me a few more?" Zhou Tianhao took Xie Yujiao from behind, let her sit on his body, and asked again Said: "How is this small courtyard?"

Xie Yujiao put down the needle and thread in her hand, leaned on Zhou Tianhao's chest, and looked out the window, just in time to see the flickering moonlight outside, half-closed her eyes, and whispered: "It's good, but now There are more people. If there are only a dozen or so people living here, it will be quiet and comfortable. When I came here just now, I heard the people here say that they don’t want to leave here. There are many hot spring mansions built by big families. Exceptional."

Zhou Tianhao said casually: "I originally planned to buy a house there, but there are indeed many official residences there, I am afraid that if you live there, they will inevitably come to greet you, and it will not be quiet again, so I chose it. Here."

Xie Yujiao said calmly: "This place is very good, the scenery is good, and it's close to you. This is the best."

Zhou Tianhao just lowered his head and rubbed against Xie Yujiao's cheek. Seeing that it was getting late, he simply blew out the candle, carried her to bed and went to sleep.

When Xie Yujiao woke up early the next morning, Zhou Tianhao had already gone to the barracks. Knowing that he would come back at night, Xie Yujiao could only sigh and started eating breakfast by herself.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve, and it happened that Liu Fugen came to see Xie Yujiao with Xu's message, and asked her if she would go back to Xie's house for the New Year.This is Xie Yujiao's first New Year's Eve after marrying Zhou Tianhao, and it is supposed to be celebrated at her husband's house, but the military has been busy these few days, so Zhou Tianhao hasn't mentioned this matter to her, so Xie Yujiao went back to Liu Fugen and said: " You go back and tell your mother that you won't go back this year, and you will go back to pay her New Year's greetings in a few days."

Liu Fugen only nodded in response, and then said: "Madam, you are pregnant with Liujia now, and you are afraid that it will be inconvenient to live here. If you go home, everyone will take care of you, so you can rest assured."

Xie Yujiao knew that Mrs. Xu cared about her, so she smiled and said, "Tell mother, there is a medical lady with me here, and I have taken care of everything, so there is nothing to worry about."

Liu Fugen just nodded, paused, and then said: "The second old master has gone, and my wife has already decided to reward 40 taels of silver. Now the clan is about to re-elect the patriarch, and my wife asked me to ask the girl, can the seventh master do it?"

The Xu family didn't often take care of general affairs before, so it was inevitable that they were a bit restrained in this matter. Fortunately, Xu Yuxing was watching over the business, so no major mistakes could be made.Things at home are not that important, so she has been able to cope with it a little over the past few months.

"Let's just go to Qi Ye. This year, the money for ancestor worship in the ancestral hall will be allocated to Qi Ye as in previous years, and the things in the clan will be bought according to the practice of eight hundred li silver." Xie Yujiao finished speaking, took a sip of tea, Seeing that Liu Fugen had a smile on his face, as if he still had something to say, he asked, "If you have anything else to say, just say it, there's nothing to be shy about here!"

"Back to Miss, it's just... My wife gave birth to a fat boy two days ago. She knew I was coming, and asked me to talk to Miss, and said that she would come over after she finished her confinement, and she wanted to be the young master. Where is the nanny!"

Xie Yujiao heard the words, just smiled and said: "Let her stay at home well, this is the first child, so naturally my own child is important, I am also a princess anyway, maybe I can't even afford a nanny."

Liu Fugen continued to laugh, and said: "Two days ago, the young master of my uncle's house was full moon, and my wife went there in person, and took the things that the girl gave me. Everything is fine with my aunt, and I have another good news to tell you. Miss, Miss Cousin has it!"

Xie Yujiao really didn't know she was happy when she heard the news!It's better not to be happy!There is no contraceptive method in this ancient time, but anyone who is not physically ill can definitely conceive within two or three months after entering the door.But that's good too, Mr. Kang must be so happy that his mouth is crooked.

"It's inconvenient for me to go back and see her now. If that's the case, you should help my uncle more in the future. I'm afraid he's been very busy recently!"

"Miss, don't worry, the slave must be serving more snacks! If there is nothing to do here, the old slave will go back to Xie's house first."

After Liu Fugen finished speaking, he bowed to Xie Yujiao again, and Xie Yujiao said: "You go back, tell mother that everything is fine here, and let her not worry about it."

After sending Liu Fugen away, Xie Yujiao rested for a while to sleep, and it was night in a blink of an eye.She is now a month old, and it is not easy to fall asleep at night. Last night, when Zhou Tianhao became interested, he teased her for a while, and when he got up in the morning, he felt a little lazy to move.

This sleep lasted until sunset, when the servant girl came over and called her to get up, Xie Yujiao yawned and got up, seeing Zhou Tianhao coming in wearing a suit of armor.Xie Yujiao just stepped forward to help him take off his armor and put on homely clothes.

Originally, Xie Yujiao didn't know these things, but after learning a few times, she became proficient.Xie Yujiao used a comb to lift Zhou Tianhao to tidy up the few strands of broken hair below, and called the little maid to take out the armor and wipe it clean to dry before she said, "Mother sent Liu Fugen here today and asked me if I would come back." Xie's New Year, I have already declined, I think this is the first year, and I don't know if your imperial brother will call you into the palace."

Zhou Tianhao heard the words, and only opened his mouth and said: "I am receiving the imperial brother's oral order today, asking me to go back to Beijing a few days earlier. By the way, it's time to show your dowry of 40 taels for others to see."

Xie Yujiao saw that he hadn't forgotten about defrauding money, so she just smiled and said, "I don't know how many people can be defrauded, are you so confident?"

"Why don't you have confidence? I heard from the front-line news that the Tartars are ready to move again. Now they have reached the Qilu generation. If they go further south, they will be closer to us. If we don't fight back now, when will we wait?"

Xie Yujiao saw Zhou Tianhao's blood boiling, she didn't want to pour cold water on him, but she leaned into his arms and said, "War is not so easy. Dayong took a year off, and Tartar also took a year off. Besides, They occupied the capital, they are naturally like robbers, and I don’t know how much they looted, so they should not be underestimated.”

"Naturally, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term, but Mrs. Lawton is going back to the capital with me."

In fact, Xie Yujiao is used to living here, and she likes the quietness here. Besides, she is too old now, and she moves lazily. If she returns to the capital, she will inevitably go to the palace again. Empress Xu was reprimanded by the emperor for the maid's matter. If the two met, it would be difficult to even maintain a superficial harmony.

Xie Yujiao thought for a while, then raised her head to look at Zhou Tianhao's profile, and whispered, "I'm used to living here, but I don't want to go back. If you can come back in two or three days, I won't go. Now my stomach is getting bigger and bigger. It’s not convenient to move around.”

Hearing what Xie Yujiao said, Zhou Tianhao stretched out his arms to wrap around her increasingly thick waistline, stroked her whole with a pair of big palms, and said with a smile: "It's not convenient, I see you are very convenient, why don't we meet again tonight?" try?"

Xie Yujiao remembered that she was made limp by him last night, but she couldn't help but begged him for the embarrassing situation she was in. She immediately blushed, and said, "You are so shameless when you say such things in broad daylight. Out of my mind!"

Zhou Tianhao glanced outside, seeing that the sun was setting and the lamps were being lit outside, he just smiled and said, "Who said it's broad daylight now, it's already dark!"

Just at this time, I heard a message from a maid outside: "My lord, madam, the dinner is ready, you can eat."

Xie Yujiao raised her head and saw Zhou Tianhao's expression of being overwhelmed by someone, so she couldn't help nodding his face twice, and went outside with a smile.

Xie Yujiao leaned sleepily on Zhou Tianhao's chest, recalled the events of the day, and said again: "I'm afraid the empress still remembers what happened last time. Anyway, you feel sorry for me, so why don’t you let me go back?” Now that Xie Yujiao lives here, firstly, there is nothing to worry about, and secondly, the people in this mountain village are simple, and they are all simple mountain people. The bamboo fence farmhouse, however, also looks a bit of a hermit, which is exactly the life Xie Yujiao is looking forward to.

Zhou Tianhao put his arms around Xie Yujiao, patted her on the back over and over again, looked down at her calm and indifferent face, and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect you to come to ancient times and still like farmhouse music?"

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao just stuck out her tongue, then leaned into Zhou Tianhao's arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
