The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 85

Xie Yujiao looked blankly at the post sent back by Liu Fugen. It clearly stated that she was invited to go to the county government office tomorrow to see off the good man from Jiangning County.

There is nothing wrong with this, but what is wrong is that Liu Fugen has come back to talk about it a few days ago, Xie Yujiao thought about it at home for two days, and finally declined, but today Liu Fugen just walked halfway, but was called back , As a result, I received another post like this. What the county magistrate was thinking in his heart was a little unpredictable.

But there is no doubt that there is only one result, and that is this time, Xie Yujiao has no reason not to go again, and the county magistrate still has to give enough face.

Xie Yujiao closed the post, and asked in disbelief, "You said you were out of town, so University Kang called you back and gave you this post?"

Liu Fugen also felt that this was strange, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was actually reasonable, so he said: "If the eldest lady can't figure it out, the slave has figured it out a little bit. The eldest lady refused to go at first, and Mrs. Kang also I followed the eldest lady's wish, but later found that the eldest lady gave too much money, if I didn't go, it would be outrageous, so I made up a post here, and felt that it was a serious matter to ask the eldest lady to come over. That's a gift."

What Xie Yujiao heard Liu Fugen said made some sense, so she just waved her hands indiscriminately and said, "Forget it, it seems that tomorrow will not escape, you should make arrangements first, originally tomorrow is the cousin's birthday, I still have to Thinking of celebrating her."

Xie Yujiao went back from the study to the main courtyard. Xu Shi and the eldest aunt happened to be talking to Xu Huiru in the living room. Seeing Xie Yujiao came back, she rushed up to greet her and said, "I just said that I want the servant girl to call you back earlier, Ming'er Hui For Ru's birthday, several of us are discussing to do it for Hui Ru!"

After hearing this, Xu Huiru hurriedly said: "Recently, there are a lot of things at home, and Chaozong's illness has just recovered. Auntie should not bother, the next bowl of Changshou noodles will be enough."

"How can this be done! Birthdays should be celebrated well. Chaozong is sick, and there has been no laughter at home for a long time. Now that he is healed, it is even more important to celebrate. Besides, this year you are finally reunited with your uncle, can you?" Celebrating your birthday together, it’s a waste if you don’t celebrate it.” Xie Yujiao said as she took a sip of the tea served by the maid, then frowned slightly and said, “It’s just that I have something to do during the day, so I can only come at night with you."

When Mrs. Xu heard that Xie Yujiao had something to do, she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Are you going out again? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

Xie Yujiao is also depressed, but she is the magistrate of the county, so she can't help but give this a little face: "Ming'er County is going to send those young people who joined the army to leave, Master Kang personally sent me a post, telling me to go there , how could I not go!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu only sighed slightly. Inside, Aunt Shen was holding Xie Chaozong and was planning to come out. After hearing this, she only pursed her thin lips and turned her back.

Mrs. Xu saw it, and said, "If you see Shen Nuyuan tomorrow, tell him to be careful on the way, we will take care of him at home, just let him be safe."

Xie Yujiao still had some guilt towards Shen Shihu, and after hearing Xu's instructions, she nodded and said: "I know, if I can meet you, I will say these things."

As soon as the war was mentioned, everyone felt a little disappointed, so the aunt said: "What kind of dishes Huiru likes to eat, let's decide today, and let the woman in the kitchen prepare everything later. Save yourself an impromptu order tomorrow, and it will be a disappointment if you can’t make it.”

Xie's family lives in the village, and many ingredients are not available every day. If you want to eat something, you have to go to the town to buy it one day in advance, so that you can make it on time the next day.

Xu Huiru thought for a while, and then said: "I don't have anything that I particularly like to eat. Dad likes to eat cat ears. It used to be very common in the north, but now I haven't seen it much in the south. I want to try it too." gone."

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao knew that Xu Hui was filial, but she was from the south before, but she had never heard of it, so she asked curiously, "What kind of food is that? I want to eat it!"

When Mrs. Xu heard the words, she just smiled and said, "What do I think is a good thing? It turned out to be this. Your father liked to eat snacks when he was a child, and his family prepared these things almost every day. Later, when he came to the south, there were fewer people who knew how to make them. It's true that I seldom eat it, and I don't know if the cook can do it, so I'll send a maid to ask."

Mrs. Xu was about to send her maid to ask questions, but Zhang's mother just smiled and said, "Why don't you ask me, Ma'am! Can a mother-in-law from a northerner's family make this thing? I'll do it this afternoon." Come out and let you all taste it."

The eldest aunt's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but said, "If Mama Zhang doesn't mind, I'll go and help you."

There are so many maids and women in this family, where can they work? The eldest aunt and grandma will help. Mama Zhang was about to refuse, but Mrs. Xu over there gave her a look, and Mama Zhang immediately agreed and just nodded. Said: "That's a good relationship. Let's go with me for lunch later."

Xie Yujiao stayed in the main room for lunch, and went back to the embroidery building with Xu Huiru to take a nap, Xu Huiru pulled Xie Yujiao's sleeve and whispered: "Cousin, I want to take advantage of my birthday tomorrow to persuade my father, you say Is it done?"

"Why not? Uncle is actually worried about you. If you say it yourself, there is always a [-]% chance of winning." Xie Yujiao only encouraged her.

After Xu Huiru heard this, she clenched her little hands nervously, and she only nodded her head hard, with a kind of daughter's gentle and obedient smile on her face.

In the afternoon, the cat ears were ready. It turned out to be a kind of crunchy snack, cut into pieces, and there were beautiful patterns on it.Xie Yujiao seemed to have seen it in the supermarket in her previous life, but she never liked to eat snacks, so she never studied it.

She curiously grabbed a few pieces and ate them. The sweetness and saltiness were moderate, and they were really good snacks for leisure.It's just... Xie Yujiao really couldn't imagine that Xu Yuxing, who looked so calm and sophisticated, would actually like such snacks.

Thinking of this, Xie Yujiao couldn't help but sighed, if there were no Tartars invading, the two elders of the Xu family would not have encountered wars, nor would they have lost their lives because of fleeing.A young master like Xu Yuxing would not be reduced to working for his brother-in-law's family.After all, it was all caused by the war.After all these years, the Xie family still owes the Xu family, and Xu Yuxing should indeed find a continuation, not to mention revitalizing the Xu family, but he should always have a successor, so that Chaozong can have a few more cousins ​​in the future.

Xie Yujiao went to bed early in the morning because she had to go to the county government office the next day, and when she woke up the next day, it was already [-]:[-].Because the old doctor Zhou said that Xie Yujiao's background was poor, so now Xu Shi didn't send her maid to wake Xie Yujiao to wake up. Whenever she remembered, she called her maid to prepare breakfast for her alone.

It was rare for Xie Yujiao to get up early today, so she had breakfast with Xu and the others.Xie Chaozong also woke up quite early recently. He has been ill for a while, and he has become more sensible. Because of his illness, he was given less milk for a few days. Now when he saw Aunt Shen, he kept yelling : "Grandma... grandma... grandma..." It seemed as if she was about to speak.

Xie Yujiao saw that the egg custard at the bottom of his bowl was about to bottom out, so she couldn't help but snatched the remaining egg custard from Zhang's mother, and said with a smile: "Chaozong is full, can I give these to my sister?" ?”

Xie Chaozong first looked at Xie Yujiao's movements with a blank face, and finally saw Xie Yujiao digging a mouthful with a spoon, and was about to open his mouth to swallow it into his stomach, so he couldn't help but burst into tears. Wronged.

Xie Yujiao saw that teasing the baby was successful, she quickly retracted the spoon, brought it to Xie Chaozong, and said, "Oh, my sister is playing with you, this ball belongs to Chaozong, so my sister will not steal it!"

But at this moment, the little baby was already heartbroken, and kept leaning into Zhang's mother's arms, hiccupping from crying.When Mrs. Xu saw it, she couldn't help but smiled and said, "How old are you, and you still provoke children, look at the one who made Chaozong sad."

Xie Yujiao originally wanted to tease Xie Chaozong, but she didn't expect him to cry so hard. It really is a stupid thing that someone who has no experience in raising babies can do... Now she felt embarrassed, and said with her mouth curled up: " Mother, go and coax him, he is crying so much that it makes people feel distressed!"

Mother Zhang only smiled and said: "Young master has already eaten a lot. If you eat all this bowl, you won't want to breastfeed after a while. It's better to save some stomach."

At this moment, Xie Chaozong was patted by Zhang's mother, and gradually became sleepy, his eyelids drooped, and finally fell asleep uncontrollably.

Mother Zhang smiled again: "He woke up early in the morning, and now he's sleepy again. Let's eat after he wakes up."

Mrs. Xu looked at her well-behaved little son, and then at the big girl who was getting more and more swaying like a lotus, and only smoothed the hair on Xie Yujiao's sideburns, and asked casually, "Why haven't I seen you wearing that Hetian jade recently?" Where is the hairpin? It was given to you by your father, isn’t it your favorite?”

Xie Yujiao's eyelids trembled, what should she say?I can't say that I was touched by someone, I hate it... Mrs. Xu didn't wait for Xie Yujiao to reply, she looked at her embarrassing eyes, and understood a little bit.She is someone who has experienced it herself, how can she not see the difference, the more she deliberately avoids a person, it means that person has already taken root in her heart.

With a bit of a smile on Xu's face, she only said: "Our family is delicate and beautiful, and everything looks good with it!"

When Xie Yujiao arrived at the county government office, all the famous gentry and landowners in Jiangning County had already arrived.Because of the Qinglongzhai incident, those families respected Xie's family even more. In this Jiangning area, no family dared to settle so many refugees in one go.The Xie family has done these things, and the imperial court is aware of it. If there are any benefits in the future, everyone will benefit together, so there are many people who are currying favor with the Xie family at this time.

Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Wei, and the young lady of the Ma family all came, but Mrs. He did not come.Now that Mrs. Kang has gone, speaking of which, the county government doesn't even have a person to entertain the principal. If the magistrate of the county hadn't said that he wanted to bring his family, these wives and grandmas, who would want to come!

When Mrs. Qi saw Xie Yujiao coming, she felt a little relieved. The eldest daughters of the Xie family came in person, and if they didn't come, they seemed a little arrogant.

The county office is not big, so it cannot accommodate more than 1000 people. However, five miles outside Jiangning County is the newly vacated school ground. Those recruits stayed there for a few days, and today is the day to go north. .Going north from there, it happened to pass the gate of the county government office, and the surrounding people also came to see him off early in the morning.

Xie Yujiao chatted with a few wives and grandmas for a while, when she heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, a woman from the county government office came in and said, "Ladies, grandmas, girls, the recruits have arrived at the gate. The county magistrate invited everyone out to watch the ceremony together!"

Jiangning County is located in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. If it weren't for the constant wars, the people here would be mainly engaged in farming, and few would join the army. Therefore, after inquiring about it, Kang Guangshou found out that the blind dates here sent their family members to join the army. Worshiping gods and offering sacrifices to heaven is a big ceremony, so that God blesses them to be safe and safe, and return home after the war.

Although Kang Guangshou also knew that this was just a formality, but the so-called do as the Romans do, these etiquettes are still unavoidable, that's why so many people were invited to watch the ceremony today.

At the gate of the county government office, the long table for offering sacrifices to the sky has been fully set up. According to the local custom, there are five sacrifices on it.Because Xie Yujiao and the others were female relatives, they stood in the back row. From a distance, they could hear the crackling of firecrackers coming towards them, and they were getting closer.

Not long after, a few police officers with swords from the county government appeared from around the corner, shouting loudly: "The recruits are here... The recruits are here!"

Xie Yujiao didn't know why, she just stood on her tiptoes curiously for a while, and looked into the distance from the shoulders of the people in the row ahead.I saw the man in the red-tasseled silver armor standing proudly on the bay red horse under the sun, and the expression on his face seemed to be stern.

Xie Yujiao felt that her heart was beating violently suddenly, she lowered her head, but said in a dull voice: "Why is he here, Liu Fugen actually lied to me!"

Zhou Tianhao rode on a horse and came slowly, but his eyes had already swept across the row of people at the gate of the county government office. He only saw a slender figure hiding behind the crowd, and plain embroidered shoes were hidden under the light green dress. Be sure to stand there.A smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Tianhao's face, and in the eyes of outsiders, he looked more energetic.

Someone praised Zhou Zhu: "Which family is this little general, he is really heroic!"

"I heard that this is a young general from the capital! He leveled Qinglongzhai and saved Mrs. Xie by himself. Looking at it now, he really is a young hero!"

Xie Yujiao was standing behind these two people. Hearing their compliments which were not exaggerated, she couldn't help but stretched her neck, and glanced at the place where Zhou Tianhao came on horseback in the distance. The serious look had already disappeared, and the frivolous smile on his face could no longer be contained, with a smug look on his face.

Xie Yujiao hooked the corners of her lips and spit out two words: "Stinky fart!"

Mrs. Qi standing beside her suddenly frowned in embarrassment, and stretched out her hand to cover her stomach. It turned out that she had let out a stomach growl just now, and she couldn't hold it back for a while, so she let out a stinky fart. Looking at the front and saying these two words again, it is really embarrassing and shameless.

After Xie Yujiao said this, her cheeks flushed slightly.At this time Zhou Tianhao had already arrived on horseback, and Zhou Tianhao dismounted with the leading soldiers.Kang Guangshou hastily went up to greet him, saluted respectfully, and then said: "This is the custom of Jiangning County. Before going out for an expedition, one has to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for blessings. Everything is ready."

Zhou Tianhao nodded, took the three sticks of incense offered by others, knelt down in front of the altar, and kowtowed three times.

Then it was the turn of Kang Guangshou and the others. Just as Xie Yujiao was waiting for his mother-in-law to bring incense, he suddenly felt his palms warm and his body swayed slightly. He had already been pulled into the gate of the county government.

Outside, Mr. Kang led the crowd to recite the words of offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings. Inside, Xie Yujiao was separated by a wall, and Zhou Tianhao pressed Xie Yujiao against the wall like this.

"You... let go!" Xie Yujiao frowned, raised her head and stared at Zhou Tianhao with a slightly sinister look.

"Don't let it go."

"If you don't let go, I'll call someone!" Xie Yujiao twisted her wrist. It seemed that she couldn't break free from the man's strength.

"Call it." Zhou Tianhao looked at him, with a slight smile on his brows, and under his silver armor, he looked even more handsome and handsome.

Xie Yujiao struggled a few more times, but finally did not yell out. The people standing outside are all respectable people from Jiangning County. If they knew that she was underestimated by such a disciple, what would happen? OK.

"What do you want?" Xie Yujiao, who had traveled through time and had a strong heart, was a little panicked when she met such a scoundrel.

Zhou Tianhao lowered his head, his gaze swept over Xie Yujiao's slender eyelashes and jade-white cheeks, and gradually landed on the faintly visible gap on his chest.It's really strange, the same 15-year-old girl, those ladies in the capital can raise a pair of busty, but this little girl is still like Wang Zai's little steamed bun...

Xie Yujiao lowered her head and saw where Zhou Tianhao's gaze stayed. She felt ashamed and indignant. She stretched out her legs and greeted Zhou Tianhao's instep. Zhou Tianhao dodged lightly, but her long legs landed on Xie Yujiao's buttocks instead.Xie Yujiao could still feel the coldness of the armor through the clothes, but Zhou Tianhao looked at her with eyes that seemed to have become a little chaotic.Xie Yujiao turned her head sideways, frowned and closed her eyes.

The restraint on her hand was suddenly lifted, and her hair seemed to be smoothed out after that. Xie Yujiao opened her eyes and saw Zhou Tianhao holding a piece of oleander petal in her hand.

"Just take this away for you." Zhou Tianhao casually threw the petals away, with a cynical smile on his face, he approached Xie Yujiao within two inches of her eyes, and said with a smile, "It's not as pretty as last time."

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she remembered what happened last time when she was molested by him, and she suddenly became angry from embarrassment. When she thought that there were people outside, and she couldn't even shout, she felt a little bit wronged, and she just bit her lips. Staring fiercely at Zhou Tianhao, panting heavily, his chest gradually rose and fell.

Zhou Tianhao was rarely patient. Seeing Xie Yujiao jumping his feet in anger, he became more and more playful. He lowered his head and glanced at her chest and said, "This thing, even if it is full of breath, it may not be able to grow. Let people rub it!"

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao's blushing face immediately turned pale. How shameless this person is...to say such a thing?Xie Yujiao became angry from embarrassment, and raised her hand to greet that handsome face like a conditioned reflex.

The moment the palm touched the cheek, Xie Yujiao was stunned, but if she retracted it at this time, wouldn't it be more in his favor?Xie Yujiao had no choice but to bite the bullet, only to hear a slap, and there were a few red handprints on Zhou Tianhao's wheat-colored cheeks.

Zhou Tianhao frowned. Seeing that Xie Yujiao looked at him with conspicuous astonishment, she hid her hands and said firmly, "You can dodge it, if you don't dodge it, you deserve it!"

Zhou Tianhao still had a smile on his face, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to hold Xie Yujiao's hand that did something bad just now, lowered his head, leaned in front of her and said, "The fight is over, then it's my turn."

In the next moment, before Xie Yujiao had the slightest chance to resist, Zhou Tianhao just lowered his head and squeezed Xie Yujiao's delicate and charming lips.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

With her hands firmly locked behind her back, Xie Yujiao could only use her knees to support Zhou Tianhao who was leaning forward constantly. Under the silver armor, something seemed to be about to move.

"Don't move around..." At the moment of panting, Zhou Tianhao warned Xie Yujiao in a deep voice. Xie Yujiao was stunned for a moment, but before she could understand what it meant, she kissed her head and face again.

The domineering breath aroused the enthusiasm of Xie Yujiao's whole body, Xie Yujiao only felt her head was in a daze, her hands were unconsciously pressed against Zhou Tianhao's chest, and she felt it was difficult to breathe for a while.

The long and violent kiss was finally over, Xie Yujiao leaned against the wall behind her weakly, her flushed cheeks and watery eyes were so charming, so charming.After a while, Xie Yujiao came to her senses, remembering that she had been eaten so much tofu, her reddened eyes immediately became more resentful, she just looked at Zhou Tianhao coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "Young Master Yang, today I just thought it was bitten by a dog."

"Have you ever seen such a handsome dog?" Zhou Tianhao stretched out his hand, and gently slid it on Xie Yujiao's cheek. The skin that can be broken with a finger is so tender that he can't wait to take another bite: "The dowry money is all given, you Why are you so awkward? It's just... the Xie family is also the richest man in Jiangning, so the dowry of 1 taels of silver seems a bit small?"

"You...what did you say?" Xie Yujiao thought about it for a while, and then remembered the money that Liu Fugen brought to Kang Guangshou a few days ago, and only said: "That's nothing..." Xie Yujiao couldn't say the next few words. Exit, only blushing all over his face.

The more anxious she became, the happier Zhou Tianhao became, and he just smiled and said, "Isn't it? I thought the second steward had already brought my words to you, so you gave me 1 taels of silver as a dowry. It seems that I was wrong." gone?"

Xie Yujiao was really confused now, "You... What did you ask the second housekeeper to bring? Why didn't I know?"
