The wife of time travel

Chapter 73

In the blink of an eye, a month later, Prince Cao's Mansion held a full moon banquet, and the running water mats in the backyard of Cao's Mansion were arranged in an entire alley, and it was said that it would last for three days and three nights.When Xu Xiaofu went there, he brought some freshly grown vegetables from the villa, all of which were tender and green. In addition, he also brought a lot of wild game from the mountains. He even sewed a set of spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes for Cao Yi himself.

It's only early winter, and the vegetables in the warm house in the villa are not mature enough. Xu Xiaofu kept some for himself, and brought the rest. He also brought Xie Qingxue a few old hens that ran around the hills all day long. A few baskets of native eggs.

After entering Cao's mansion, Xu Xiaofu went directly to Xie Qingxue's house, Xie Qingxue was walking around holding the chubby milk doll, saw Xu Xiaofu and Meng Shi smiled and said: "Elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you are here, come in quickly and sit down." Bar."

Xu Xiaofu walked in with Meng Shi, and took Cao Yi in Xie Qingxue's arms. The little guy would be awake now, but his eyes were a little dazed and out of focus.The little guy has exactly the same eyebrows and eyes as Cao Zhan, and he will be a handsome son-in-law again when he grows up.

Xie Qingxue was looking at the little guy lovingly, and after a while the little guy started yawning and whimpering, Xu Xiaofu returned the little guy to Xie Qingxue, "I'm afraid I'm going to eat it, is Qingxue feeding it by herself or the nanny?" ?”

Xie Qingxue took the child and said with a smile, "Hello..."

Xu Xiaofu nodded. Xu Xiaofu always agreed with breastfeeding. In ancient times, rich families prepared wet nurses for their newborn babies. In fact, this is not good. The wet nurse’s milk is not colostrum, and the nutrients contained in it are not as good as colostrum. Well, and women who self-feed their babies reduce their risk of breast cancer.It's just that few people in this era know what breast cancer is.

During the chat, Xie Qingxue knew that Xu Xiaofu had brought a lot of ingredients, and she was overjoyed, "I don't even have any fresh vegetables at this time of year. Thanks to my sister-in-law, I now have good food."

Xu Xiaofu smiled lightly, "If you like it, I'll send it over after eating." She has no plans to sell the vegetables in the villa for the time being, and is going to send all the vegetables to the restaurant.Rare things are more expensive, and only her restaurant in the whole capital has all kinds of vegetables to eat in winter.

After chatting with Xie Qingxue for a long time, Mrs. Bai came in after finishing her work. Seeing that Aunt Xu and Mrs. Meng didn't have a good face, "What are you doing here, hurry up and eat, Qingxue is going to rest." She turned her head and said to Xie Qingxue: "You have just given birth and your body is still weak, so lie down on the bed and rest quickly, let the kitchen make you whatever you want to eat."

Xie Qingxue showed an apologetic smile at Xu Xiaofu and Mrs. Meng, and then said: "Mom, I'm not hungry..."

Xu Xiaofu and Mrs. Meng went out silently, they found a seat at the side of the women's family and sat down to eat, after eating, they came to bid farewell to Xie Qingxue and went back.

It was already Youshi when we went back, and as soon as we got back to the yard, Xu Xiaofu saw Shen Shi'er standing at the gate of her yard with a food box.Xu Xiaofu really didn't want to see Shen Shi'er, last time she was beaten by Xie Qingxue's maid, she didn't dare to come to Xu Xiaofu's yard for half a month, until finally Xie Qingxue went back to Cao's mansion, then she dared to continue running into Xu Xiaofu's yard up.

Shen Shi'er also saw Xu Xiaofu and Shan Cha who were walking back, and hurriedly greeted them with a smile, "Madam General, you came back from the Cao Mansion? I originally planned to ask you to help the servants to send some congratulatory gifts to Miss Qingxue, but you didn't come here It's time for you to go out."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said nothing.Since Shen Shi'er claimed to be me in front of Xie Qingxue last time, she was slapped several times by Bilian. From then on, the rules and etiquette are very clear, and she calls herself a slave in front of Xu Xiaofu.

Shen Shi'er handed the food box to Xu Xiaofu, "Ma'am, these are some steamed dumplings made by my servants, you can take them home and have a taste."

Xu Xiaofu glanced at the food box, and was about to ask Du Juan to take it over, but he didn't want the sound of steady footsteps coming from behind.Everyone turned their heads and looked over, and saw Xie Duanyue wearing a black brocade robe. The black color matched Xie Duanyue very well, softening his slightly sharp and indifferent face.Seeing Xie Duanyu, Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "General, you are back on time today."

Xie Duanyu walked up to Xu Xiaofu and stopped, with a smile on his stern face, "I don't have anything to do today, so I'll be back early."

Shen Shi'er has lowered her head and stood by the side since Xie Duanyu came over. Now listening to him, she took two steps forward, "I have seen General Xie, thank you for your well-being."

Xie Duanyu didn't even look at Shen Shi'er, took Xu Xiaofu's hand and walked back, "Okay, let's go into the house and talk... you go to Cao's mansion today, how is the third sister? How is that kid doing?" ?”

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Qingxue is recovering very well, Brother Yi is also chubby, very cute, his eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Prince Cao, and he is also a handsome young master."

Because of Xie Duanyu's ignorance, Shen Shi'er's face was a little red, and she stood at the side in a daze, not knowing how to arrange her hands and feet.Until Xie Duanyue and Xu Xiaofu walked a long way, Shen Shi'er looked at the food box in her hand, and quickly chased after her, "General, madam, these are the steamed dumplings made by my servant today, and I give them to you to try."

Xu Xiaofu looked up at Shen Shi'er, with a cold expression, "Du Juan, take the things here. Aunt Shen, please come back now, there is no shortage of food in our courtyard, and I hope Aunt Shen will not come to our courtyard in the future Bring food."

Shen Shi'er's eyes were not flustered, she just looked at Xu Xiaofu suspiciously, "Ma'am, this servant just knows that Madam also likes delicious food, so I can't help coming to disturb Madam every day. If Madam doesn't like it, this servant will stop coming in the future. I hope Madam will forgive me for my previous recklessness."

Xu Xiaofu said: "If that's the case, Aunt Shen, please go back."

This Shen Shi'er only ran to her courtyard. It has long been rumored in the mansion that this Aunt Shen actually has a heart for General Xie, otherwise why would she have to rush to Xu Xiaofu's courtyard every time Xie Duanyu leaves early and returns late? .But every time she came, Xie Duanyu was not at the house, or he was in the study, so she rarely met this Shen Shi'er.

Du Juan also reached out to take the food box, and looked at Shen Shi'er coldly, "Aunt Shen, you can go."

Shen Shi'er nodded, turned around and left.

Xu Xiaofu followed Xie Duanyu into the yard, Xie Qi ran over immediately, hugged Xie Duanyu's thigh, "Daddy, Daddy Qi'er misses you."

The smile on Xie Duanyue's face widened a bit, he picked up the little guy, and kissed the little guy's bun-like cheek, "Daddy misses Qi'er too."

Xu Xiaofu pretended to be unhappy and looked at Xie Qi, "Mother has been away for a whole day and Qi Er misses her, mother is so sad."

Xie Qi came over to kiss Xu Xiaofu's cheek in a fawning manner, "Mother, Qi Er misses you too."

Only then did Xu Xiaofu laugh. When the family was sitting and eating at night, Xie Duanyu said: "The Holy Majesty appointed the second prince as the crown prince today. The situation in the future may be a little turbulent, and I may also be sent to the frontier ..."

Xu Xiaofu paused, and said: "Isn't something going to happen?" The emperor of the West Qin Kingdom is already old, and after the establishment of the crown prince, the crown prince may succeed in less than one or two days, and the other princes cannot be guaranteed at this time Will you feel dissatisfied and do outrageous things?In history, in order to compete for the position of crown prince, there were not a few brothers on the throne who turned against each other.

Xie Duanyu frowned, "If I go to the border, the government will arrange secret guards to protect you." Xie Duanyu is in this position, so he naturally knows how turbulent it will be when the crown prince is established, and how many powerful nobles will be involved go in.

Xu Xiaofu nodded and stopped talking, feeling heavy in his heart.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the vegetables in the greenhouse in Xu Xiaofu Mountain Villa are all ripe, and the restaurant provides all kinds of vegetables that can only be eaten in spring, summer and autumn. A plate of vegetables is not cheap, it costs three to five taels of silver, but I don’t want to There are quite a lot of people eating, and the profit in a month is more than two or three times higher than usual.

This day, Xie Duanyu came back at Haishi, Xu Xiaofu had already fallen asleep, and woke up again when she heard the movement, she knew that Xie Duanyu had come in, she seemed to feel that Xie Duanyu had watched her for a while in the dark, and then came He took off his shoes and got on the bed and hugged her into his arms, "Woke you up?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said, "How does the general know that I'm awake?"

Xie Duanyu's muffled laughter sounded above Xu Xiaofu's head, "The breathing is different."

Xu Xiaofu also laughed. Hearing Xu Xiaofu's laughter, Xie Duanyu stopped talking, but his arms around Xu Xiaofu tightened a lot. Xu Xiaofu knew that something must have happened, "General, something happened. What is it?" After thinking for a while, he guessed: "But you are going to the frontier?" His voice became a little hoarse.

In the dark, Xie Duanyu didn't speak, and after a long time he hummed, "The frontier is turbulent, and the military strength has suddenly increased. The Holy Majesty wants me to lead troops to guard the frontier..."

Xu Xiaofu suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sore, he was silent, and after a long time, he suppressed a hum, but found that his voice was a little choked.

Xie Duanyu also remained silent, but hugged Xu Xiaofu even tighter.

After a long time, Xu Xiaofu said in a hoarse voice, "When will we leave?"

"We're leaving at dawn."

Xu Xiaofu's heart tightened, and it became even more uncomfortable. Xie Duanyue, as the general of the Western Qin Kingdom, was bound to go to the battlefield. She also knew that this day would always come, but she never thought that when this day really came, she would feel so uncomfortable in her heart .

Xie Duanyu was not talking, the two were silent in the dark, Xie Duanyu suddenly lowered his head and kissed Xu Xiaofu...

That night Xu Xiaofu responded enthusiastically to Xie Duanyu, and Xu Xiaofu didn't fall asleep until the dawn outside.Xie Duanyu looked down at Xu Xiaofu's sleeping state for a long time, and finally kissed her on the forehead, then pursed his lips, gently lifted the quilt, got off the bed, and strode away.

On the day when Xie Duanyu went to the frontier, it snowed heavily one after another. After Xu Xiaofu got up, he stood under the eaves and stared blankly at the heavy snow outside.

While he was in a daze, two men in black clothes suddenly appeared in front of Xu Xiaofu's eyes, and the two men immediately knelt down in front of Xu Xiaofu.

"The leader of the dark guard, Qin Da, sees his wife."

"Qin Er, deputy commander of the dark guard, joins his wife."

Only then did Xu Xiaofu shift his gaze to the two kneeling men. Both of them looked quite ordinary, but they were very tall, their faces were a bit simple and honest, and their looks were somewhat similar. "Get up, you are the hidden guards left by General Xie?"

Only then did the two stand up, Qin Dao: "If you go back to Madam, we are left by the general to protect Madam. In addition to the two of us, there are 48 other guards in the mansion, all of whom are hiding in the mansion."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "I see, you guys go down first."

Qin Da respectfully said: "Yes, madam! If madam needs us, just call us by our names."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, and the two retreated immediately.

In a blink of an eye, Xie Duanyu had been away for half a month, Xie Qi was always crying for his father, Xu Xiaofu didn't know how to comfort him.Fortunately, the little guy Xie Lin is only over eight months old, and he still doesn't recognize people very much.

Seeing Xie Qi pestering Xu Xiaofu for his father again, He Hua said: "Qi Er is good, mother is not feeling well, if you pester mother like this again, mother will get sick."

Hearing this, Xie Qi really wasn't crying, but looked at Xu Xiaofu with teary eyes, Xu Xiaofu picked him up and said: "Qi Er, be good, Daddy has gone to beat the bad guys, and if you beat the bad guys, Daddy will come back to accompany Qi It's time, so Qi Er must be obedient and know?"

Xie Qi thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Xu Xiaofu, "Mother, then I'll be good, will Daddy come back after beating up the villains?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and nodded, "That's natural."

Xie Qi wiped away tears, "Then Qi'er will obediently wait for Daddy to come back."

Xu Xiaofu kissed Xie Qi on the cheek, "This is my mother's good baby."

Xie Lin, who was being held by the nanny at the side, gave up and writhed vigorously in the nanny's arms, and stretched out his chubby hand to Xu Xiaofu Yiyi, obviously wanting Xu Xiaofu to kiss him too.

Xu Xiaofu felt much better with the company of several children, and Mrs. Meng would come to accompany her from time to time. Today, Mrs. Meng brought Xie Rui over, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to bother you again."

Xu Xiaofu hurriedly welcomed the person in, and said with a smile: "How could this be, with you by my side, I'm not so boring anymore."

Meng Shi smiled and asked Xie Rui to play with Xie Qi next to her. After looking around, she only saw Xie Qi and Xie Lin. Meng Shi said, "Why didn't you see the lotus? Where did this girl go?"

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile: "Recently, this girl has become obsessed with painting, she is not too cold, she goes around looking at landscapes and paintings in the mansion."

Meng said with a smile: "Lotus is smart and can learn everything quickly..."

Xu Xiaofu laughed lightly.Meng took out a few blueprints and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I want to embroider recently, please help me see which pattern looks better."

Xu Xiaofu took a look, pointed to one of them, and said with a smile: "I think this picture of winter plum blossoms is pretty good, but it should be troublesome to embroider according to the pattern." Okay, let her embroider, she won't be able to sit still.

Just as I was talking, Shan Cha's exclamation suddenly came to mind outside, "Brother Qin, what's going on? How did Miss He Hua become like this?"

Xu Xiaofu and Mrs. Meng heard the voice, and looked at each other. Xu Xiaofu was startled, stood up hastily, brought down the stool beside him, and walked out of the room, opened the thick curtain at the door, and the cold air rushed out immediately. Come in.Xu Xiaofu also saw the situation outside, Qin Da in black was holding a wet girl in his arms, and that girl was lotus.
