Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 84

When Feng Jingshu returned to the mansion, Lord Xiao was practicing sword in the woods in the backyard.

Today is the day of the prince's palace examination, so there is no need to go to the court early. It stands to reason that the courtiers of other families are thankful that they can sleep late. However, this stone adheres to good work and rest habits, and never sleeps beyond Haishi at night (21:00) , the time to get up early will never be later than Yinshi (5:00), even if there is no need for morning morning today, he will still work and rest regularly.

The courtiers usually have to go to court early, so it is necessary to get up early. Before dawn, they have to get up, dress and eat, and then drive to the palace in a carriage.Therefore, it is not for nothing that the pawns of scholar-officials are respected and have extraordinary status. After all, the pain of being greedy for work early in the morning is not something ordinary people can bear for ten years.

Feng Jingshu walked to the edge of the forest and looked. Xiao Che was wearing a loose blue-black robe, with his sword dancing posture, his sleeves fluttered and the robe fluttered.

He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has a slender and tall figure. At this moment, he is practicing the sword meticulously. Every movement is comfortable and free, free and easy, and he looks really good-looking.

Unfortunately--

Master Xiao turned around, stabbed out with a slanted sword, and at the same time saw the lady at the edge of the forest.

He steadily withdrew his long sword, nodded slightly at her first, and then walked towards the direction where she was standing, while asking faintly, "Madam is back?"

His sword eyebrows flew into his temples, and his face was deep and serious.

He is obviously a handsome man, but he has a mature expression like an old master in his seventies and eighties, unsmiling, rigid and silent.

Feng Jingshu nodded regretfully and smiled gently, "I'm back."

She took out the handkerchief in her sleeve, tiptoed to wipe the sweat off his forehead, Xiao Che stiffened a little, and took the handkerchief from her hand with some unease, "...I'll do it myself. "

Look, you can see that he has this kind of virtue, the ease and ease during sword practice are only temporary, and he is just a stubborn stone in his bones.

Feng Jingshu didn't agree, she pushed his hand away with a smile on her lips, and insisted on wiping the sweat off his forehead, completely ignoring his reddish face.

"Okay." Finally finished wiping, she took back the handkerchief as if nothing had happened, with a natural expression.

Xiao Che was taught by his father since he was a child. As the eldest son of Xiao, he must be meticulous in his words and deeds, he must abide by etiquette in dealing with people and things, he must be cautious and considerate when he is an official in the court, and he must be cautious when going out.

It's a pity that Xiao's father is a big man, he took care of all the big things, but forgot to cultivate his son's emotional intelligence.

Xiao Che followed his father's teachings since he was a child, and treated everyone with restraint, humility and courtesy, including...in the boudoir, he had no interest.

The two walked side by side to the small courtyard, Feng Jingshu suddenly turned her head and asked him: "What's the husband doing today?"

Xiao Che shook his head: "There is no need to enter the palace today, so there is nothing to do."

"Then, why don't you accompany me to the street?" She turned her head to look at him, with expectant eyes in her eyes, and she didn't say much, just looked at him brightly.

Xiao Che hesitated for a moment. He finally didn't enter the palace today. He originally wanted to practice his sword and read the book "Wei Liaozi" mentioned by the crown prince some time ago, but now Feng Jingshu looked at him with so much expectation——

As if aware of his hesitation, Feng Jingshu hastily added a smile, "It doesn't matter if my husband is too busy, I can go for a walk by myself, as long as you are busy."

Her expression was extremely sincere and sincere.

On weekdays, Xiao Che is always busy here and there, and he is meticulous in doing things. He has been married for a year, and he has hardly gone out with her.

But she said that she doesn't care about it at all, she fully considers her husband, a man is a man, he should put his career first, so it's good for her to learn to be more independent by herself, it doesn't get in the way.

Where can I find a wife who understands righteousness so well?

Xiao Che's heart softened, he nodded in a strange way, and changed his mind, "It's okay, where do you want to go?"

In the end, the two left the mansion together and walked casually along the street.

Xiao Che walks in a poised posture, with his chin raised slightly, with a haughty and dignified appearance, he hardly turns his head to talk to Feng Jingshu - his usual style.

Anyway, walking in the imperial city, everyone is going their own way, who wants to hang shoulders and chat for a while?
Especially since he is in command of the guards in the palace, can a group of old men gossip and gossip while walking?

Feng Jingshu slightly turned her head to look at his expressionless side face, she was very depressed, she finally went out for a walk with her, what did she mean by not saying a word?Still have a wooden face!

She walked slower and slower, and it turned out that the man was fine. The distance between the two of them was nearly ten steps, and he seemed to suddenly realize something was wrong. When he turned around, hey, why are the people around him so far behind? ?
"What's the matter?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, then walked back to her side.

"Husband walks too fast, I can't keep up..." Feng Jingshu raised her head pitifully, her face didn't show much aggrieved expression, but her bright eyes blinked lightly, then she lowered her head again, a little displeased Excuse me.

Xiao Che was slightly taken aback, seeing her appearance...

He turned his face sideways, coughed twice, "I'll walk slowly, you can keep up."

Feng Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay."

The two started to walk again, this time, she stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Che's arm without hesitation, Xiao Che's whole body froze immediately.

"... madam." The voice was a little uncomfortable.

"Huh?" She looked at him innocently and blankly.

Xiao Che's voice was slightly difficult, "This is on the street..."

——So let me go!

Feng Jingshu's eyes were clear, "I know."

--so what?
"It doesn't seem so good..."

——It's not just bad, it's indecent for a man and a woman to hook their shoulders together!
"What's wrong? You are my husband, isn't it right for me to hold your hand?"

Xiao Che's tongue was tied.

From this point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, he is her husband, she is his wife, and the two of them are just walking down the street arm in arm... What is wrong?
"Here, take a look!" Feng Jingshu casually stretched out her hand, and Xiao Che looked in the direction she pointed, only to see a young couple arm in arm looking at the jewelry in the shop, the woman pointed to this with great interest. That said, the husband looked at her with a smile.

Those eyes clearly did not pay attention to the jewelry, and only his wife was in his eyes.

"Look, they are arm in arm too, what's wrong?" Feng Jingshu turned her head and raised her chin at a gray-haired couple passing by, "They are so old, don't they also love each other the same way?" Do you support each other lovingly?"

Speaking of this, she seemed to have realized something suddenly, and quickly withdrew her hand, her voice weakened slightly, "Husband is... But you are afraid that people will lose you if they see me holding your hand?"

The more you speak, the quieter you are.

Xiao Che was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood what she was referring to.

In the beginning, we married her because of the child marriage made by the Xiao family and the Feng family.Xiao Che's father relied on his own strength to be admitted to the No. [-] Martial Arts Scholar, and then stepped into the imperial court. Before the No. [-] Scholar, Xiao Che's grandfather was just a local sesame official.

When Xiao Che was three years old, Xiao's father made an appointment with a good friend who grew up with him to get married, so Feng Jingshu, who was just born at that time, was already destined to become Xiao Che's daughter-in-law.

Later, the Xiao family became prosperous, although Xiao's father also brought his friends along the way to become various officials, but after all, Feng Jingshu's background and Xiao Che's family background cannot be matched.

In addition, Feng Jingshu was not very beautiful. When they got married, the cousin who had admired Xiao Che since childhood even humiliated her in front of everyone, saying that she was not worthy of standing beside Xiao Che, and it would be embarrassing to take her out.

At that time, Feng Jingshu just smiled slightly, and said lightly, "I am lucky in my life to be able to marry my husband. As for my appearance, it is given by my parents. You say sorry, and you try to come to the mansion as little as possible in the future, so as not to see me again, and feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Che was still surprised at that time, it turned out that his seemingly gentle and quiet wife was still a rose with thorns.

But later he caught her hiding and wiping her tears secretly. Although he didn't expose her, when he lifted the red hijab at night, he still said seriously, "You are the wife my father decided for me, no matter what others say , Fengguan Xiapei, eight palanquins, I will marry you, from now on you will be Mrs. Xiao, no one can bully you."

He is a responsible person, and he also knows that he will live his life in such a steady and stable way, walk the path his father expects him to walk, marry a gentle and virtuous wife, and then come late with a full house of children and grandchildren, peaceful and happy.

It's just that he never thought that this seemingly small and unremarkable wife actually hides a big world in his heart, which has changed his calm and unchanging life ever since.

At this moment, seeing Feng Jingshu lowering her head and murmuring, Xiao Che felt as if a needle had been pricked in his heart.

He didn't dislike her, but...

"I'm just, I'm just not used to it." He whispered, but he seemed to see her slightly twitching shoulders, was she going to cry?
The string in her heart became tighter and tighter, as if she remembered how she hid and cried alone on the wedding day, like a little rabbit with red eyes, but when she came to people, she showed a gentle and beautiful smile as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Che thought that all women in the world are made of water, delicate and soft, waxy and soft, but in fact, he saw a different posture of his daughter from his lovely wife.

Seeing his wife bowing her head at this moment, looking like she was about to cry, he sighed, stretched out his hand to hold her, and then held her little hand in his palm.

"Let's go."

He led her forward, although his posture was still a bit clumsy, obviously not used to it, but he never let go of her hand.

Feng Jingshu secretly looked up at him, only seeing his red ears and his expression of trying to pretend nothing had happened.

A faint smile floated on her lips, and she called him, "Husband."

"Huh?" He didn't look back at her, but responded softly.

"Would you like to eat Yangchun noodles in the alley at noon?"

"Ah."

"In the afternoon, can you walk with me by the river?"

"it is good."

"The weather is fine today, how about we fly a kite by the river?"

"it is good."

"Look, there is a seller of concentric knots on the opposite side, can I go and have a look?"

"it is good."

Xiao Che was always like this, silent as a stone, with very few words.

But the smile on Feng Jingshu's lips became stronger and stronger, and finally it was as bright and moving as a peach blossom in full bloom.

Because such a man of few words and few words is serious in doing things, but no matter what she says, he will always respond to her gently, even if it is just a simple single tone, he will remind her in this way that he has listen to her talk.

"Husband." She called him again.

"Yeah." Still such a gentle response.

"Did I ever say I'm happy to marry you?" she said lightly and sweetly.

However this time, Xiao Che didn't respond any more, but turned his head to look at her in a daze, with a bit of astonishment in his eyes.

Obviously, it was not what he expected to confess in the street.

"In this life, I grew up to Jiji, with ordinary appearance, ordinary life, ordinary knowledge, and ordinary family background. But now I am very proud of this kind of myself, because I met an extraordinary husband in such an ordinary way, so after getting married, my life has changed. No longer ordinary."

She spoke seriously, looking at him with curved lips, and at the same time clenched that big palm. The calluses he had worn out from years of sword practice were a bit rough, but she didn't care.

Xiao Che's heart skipped a beat when he saw the charming smile on her face.

Where is she ordinary?Once she smiles, the two small canine teeth are extremely cute, and there is a moving spring in the eyes, the ice melts in a smile, and the cold weather can suddenly rejuvenate.

Can act like a baby, can talk back, can hold back even the most uncomfortable things, always be happy in front of others, and dispatch the rest of the troubles by herself.

Where can such a beautiful wife be found?

The stinky stone that has not melted for thousands of years finally showed a slight smile, "Well, marrying me is not ordinary."

Feng Jingshu was rarely amused by him, this stone, after finally saying a long sentence, was actually putting gold on her face!

But what Xiao Che didn't say was: because you married me, I discovered your extraordinary side, so I finally knew that there might be a moving spring hidden under your ordinary appearance.

Jingshu, you are my spring blossoms.
