There is a white bone spirit in the village

Chapter 81

When Yang Jingxuan came back, it was already midnight.He didn't even knock on the door to disturb Lin Jiao, so he climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, opened the door and tied the horse, entered the house, reached the door in the dark, kicked the tiger king who was coiled by the door without paying attention, and heard the tiger king whine in his throat. After a few whimpers, her voice came from the room: "Who is it..."

Knowing that he woke her up, Yang Jingxuan drank away the Tiger King who was still whining non-stop because of being kicked and was extremely dissatisfied, and pushed the door open.Lighting the lamp on the table, seeing her lying on the kang and looking at him with a smile on her face, her heart warmed up, she sat down beside her and said, "I woke you up."

Lin Jiao took advantage of the situation to lean on his lap, looked up at him and said, "I haven't fallen asleep since you're not by my side..."

Yang Jingxuan felt the satisfaction of being dependent.Taking advantage of the situation, he picked her up and sat on his lap and made out for a while before letting her lie back down.I got up and wanted to take a shower by the well in the courtyard outside.She got up and said, "I'll help you. Your back hurts, you can't get wet."

She put on a dress and followed him out to the well.Watch him take a shower under the moonlight, and help him wipe himself.After he finished, he didn't put his clothes back on, hugged her and went straight back to the house and lay down on his side.

Nor is he used to sleeping naked.Only now he discovered that she had a hobby.The two slept together at night, even if she was wearing a small dress, she would always strip him clean.He was not used to it at first, and slowly let her go, but now he felt a little fun.Just like now, as soon as he lay down, he felt a soft body leaning against him, and a hand quietly reached out to touch his lower abdomen and hold him.Not provocative.He only felt her gentle comfort, and felt very fulfilled in his heart.Hearing her nagging in his ear about his going to pick up the imperial envoy today, he told the story.

The imperial envoy brought the holy will.Li Guantao was transferred back to Beijing, the official was restored to his original post, and he was named Taifu.Feng Yang Jingxuan is a first-class loyal and brave uncle, and he enters the capital together to meet the sage and appoint officials.

Lin Jiao withdrew her hand and told him to light the lamp.In the dim candlelight, he saw her sitting up and asked, "You agreed?"

Yang Jingxuan said: "Thank you, but I haven't accepted. I haven't asked you what you mean. If you want me to enter Beijing, I will accept. If you don't want to, I will find a reason to refuse."

Lin Jiao hesitated for a moment.

He first had the merit of protecting the Lord, and then led his troops to suppress the rebellion.It is also expected that the emperor will confer titles on officials.The question is whether it is acceptable or not?

Accepted, she will go to Beijing with him, he will be an official, and she will be his wife.Not being declined, he is still the head catcher in Qinghe County, and she is the female shopkeeper of the foot shop...

She thought for a long time, finally sighed, and said: "I want to be a royal wife, and I think it's very majestic..."

Yang Jingxuan was slightly taken aback, but quickly said: "A-Jiao, if you really want to be your wife, I will do it."

Lin Jiao tilted her head to look at him and said, "Really? Do you really want to?"

Yang Jingxuan thought for a while, and said solemnly: "As long as you like it, if I can do it, I will naturally follow your wishes."

Lin Jiao put her arms around his neck, and said: "Although I want to be the imperial wife, I am afraid that those officialdoms will welcome me. After thinking about it, I might as well just stay here and be a head-catcher. What do you think?" Sample?"

Yang Jingxuan was overjoyed and said, "Really? You don't think I'm useless?"

Lin Jiao opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise, "It's useless? Who said that. You can catch thieves and beat robbers, build houses, cook, wash clothes, sew, go hunting in the mountains, and farm..." As she spoke , looking at his lower abdomen again, "And under the bed..."

Yang Jingxuan was a little embarrassed, and quickly pulled over to be covered.

She coughed, and then continued with a smile: "Anyway, you can't do it. Who dares to say that you are useless, I will be the first to be anxious with him."

This boast, if it is heard by others, is really neither fish nor fowl.But Yang Jingxuan was delighted to hear it, and felt happy all over.

He is naturally indifferent to fame and fortune.After receiving the imperial envoy today and knowing the holy will, the first thought in my heart was to decline.I just didn't know what the woman at home meant, so I came back to discuss with her.Now seeing that she is really what I thought, and being praised by her like this, I was overjoyed, and looked at her and laughed.

Lin Jiao saw that he just smirked and beat her waist as a gesture. The man immediately hugged her and lay down, turned around and turned off the lights and fell asleep together.

In the darkness, after a while, the man seemed to be begging in a low voice: "A-Jiao, it's been a few days since the last time... more than three days..." There was a trace of suppressed desire in the voice.

The woman said: "Didn't I say it today, let you teach me a lesson... Who made you so stupid, Uncle Jingxuan..."

Three days later, the imperial envoy returned to Beijing with the letter written by Yang Jingxuan himself.Lin Jiao knew from Yang Jingxuan that Li Guantao and his wife would leave for Beijing soon, and they were discussing with him to go to the city with him so that they could say goodbye.Unexpectedly, he and his wife arrived at Peach Blossom Village first.Even though he was in a micro-clothes when he arrived, Li Guantao was recognized by the villagers who saw him. The news spread, and all the villagers followed him to pay a visit.Yang Jingxuan simply opened the door wide to welcome people.The third uncle also rushed over.Li Guantao respected his seniority, asked him to sit beside him and talked, and asked carefully about the crops in the field and the year.Hearing that this year's rain is not adjusted, the royal rations have been paid at the end, and the rest can barely make ends meet, so he couldn't help sighing.

The third uncle got up tremblingly and then knelt down, kowtowed and said: "I heard from Dahe that Mr. Li, you are going back to Beijing to become a high official. It's just that I heard that my lord once planned to rebuild the Yanlai Po. The old man and all the villagers are very happy. If my lord goes away, Yanlaipi will probably be empty again..."

Li Guantao hurriedly helped him up and gave up his seat again, then he said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, old man. I have changed my mind. If Yanlaipi is not repaired, I will still be the county magistrate of Qinghe County!"

As soon as these words came out, not only the villagers in the yard were surprised, but Yang Jingxuan was also very surprised.

Li Guantao looked at Yang Jingxuan and stroked his beard and said, "Jingxuan, I came here today to tell you about this. I think I have been an official for most of my life, and my beard and hair are all gray in a blink of an eye. I have been in court for forty years. Now that I think about it, I can’t think of anything I’ve done that will impress me when I’m old, but it’s all about bureaucratic scams. Fame and fortune are all for nothing. Only after I’ve been here in the past few years have I realized that I’ve really done a few things It is a real matter of being an official for the people. Now the emperor is young and promising, and there are many talents in the court. There are not many people who are more than me, and many people who are less than me. This Yanlaibei in Qinghe County is what I have been thinking about for several years. It is so easy now Straighten things out, tell me to give up like this, how can I be willing? I will be a county magistrate here for a few more years, and when this matter is over, I can take my wife and retire and return home to take care of my old age."

After Li Guantao said this, the third uncle and other villagers were so grateful that they knelt down again and did not mention it, but Yang Jingxuan was very surprised.After being surprised, seeing the old Shangguan's relaxed expression, he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "My lord can continue to stay and benefit the world, this is the blessing of the local villagers. Jingxuan must always be with you, and be sent by him. "

Li Guantao smiled and waved his hands and said: "In the future, you don't need to send more. It's just that when you borrow someone from you, you can't hide it and be reluctant to let it go. I have written to the emperor, please allocate the money. When there is a reply, You can break ground.”

Yang Jingxuan naturally understood what he meant, and smiled without saying a word.

In the room, Lin Jiao had also learned the news from Mrs. Li.I know Mrs. Li is a jovial person by nature.Now I have to stay here with my husband, seeing her expression is not reluctant when talking about it, she smiled and said: "In the future, it is really my blessing to be able to continue to have your godmother by your side."

Mrs. Li sighed with a smile: "He made his decision, so I had no choice but to follow him. There is nothing wrong with staying. Although I am a grandmother, I have not seen my grandson for many years. Now I am watching the baby come out of your stomach and waiting impatiently." Being a grandmother."

Lin Jiao knew that she and Li Guantao's two sons were sent out to be officials after they were promoted, and they rarely saw each other once a year.Now seeing that although she was smiling, there was a look of loneliness in her eyes, she hurriedly took her hand and said: "Don't worry, godmother. I will definitely teach him to call you first, and never call me mother first."

Mrs. Li was amused by her, and the two talked and laughed.At noon, the third uncle ordered the villagers to prepare a table of dishes for hospitality.In the courtyard outside, Li Guantao and Yang Jingxuan were sitting around with the third uncle and several other village elders, and A Yuan picked up a few refreshing dishes and put them in on a separate plate.

Lin Jiao asked A Yuan to sit with her.She kept saying she didn't dare.Mrs. Li smiled at Lin Jiao: "Don't believe her coquettishness. She will be married in a few days. If life is good in the future, maybe we will call her madam when we see her."

Lin Jiao was startled, but suddenly remembered someone, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "What Dadao?"

A Yuan's face was already flushed, and he said, "I've never seen such a mischievous mistress! When did I promise to marry him!"

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "What's wrong with him? Last time you made military achievements with your boss, and you promised that you will not make mistakes in the future. Your boss has recommended him to Linzhou as the commander of the vassal station. I see others He is extremely capable and capable, and he will not worry about his future. It is just that you are older, but it is also good for a man to be older, and he knows how to love women."

A Yuan blushed even more, but bit his lip and couldn't speak.

"Oh, by the way, when he came to mention your marriage to me a few days ago, he said that he was grateful to you for taking care of him at that time, and he would definitely not let you down in the future. I saw that he spoke very well, and he already agreed," Mrs. Li said. She smiled and said, not to visit her anymore, but said to Lin Jiao, "My mother and I have nothing to do, and we will prepare for the dowry later. I heard that He Dadao is rich and powerful, and the dowry will definitely not be less, and our dowry must not be low. Yes, so as not to lose face."

A Yuan paused, left the sentence "I will not marry if I die", and turned around and ran out.Madam Li laughed so hard that Lin Jiao was also very happy.After the two had dinner, they really got together to study A Yuan's dowry.Until Li Guantao came to call someone, Mrs. Li put away the paper and made an appointment with Lin Jiao to continue next time.

Two months later, Li Guantao got the approval from the emperor, ordering the state government to allocate the necessary money to repair the reservoir.With the emperor's letter, and Li Guantao's identity, the newly appointed magistrate of Ningzhou naturally did not dare to neglect, and personally sent the first batch of treasury silver.It was delivered together with the emperor's special gift to Yang Jingxuan.It was a large and exquisitely crafted box, and it was carried by two big men to the Yang family in Taohua Village amidst the envy of the villagers watching.

After Yang Jingxuan sent people away, as soon as he entered the house, he saw that the lid of the box had been opened by Lin Jiao.She was lying on the box and looking in with a smile. The sunlight came in from the window sill, shining golden.I already understand in my heart.Looking closer, I saw a large box of official-made gold ingots, one ingot of twelve taels, which seemed to be about a thousand taels.A belt inlaid with white jade that is customarily used to reward meritorious officials.In addition, I put a smaller box, opened it, and saw that it was a medicine box, in which were placed the top-quality medicines such as caterpillar fungus and old ginseng, and some high-quality wound medicines from the imperial hospital in the palace, with a note on the side Explain various effects.Thinking that the emperor still remembered all the narrow escapes when he escorted him all the way to Beijing, so he gave the medicine together.

Lin Jiao took a gold ingot and was weighing it. Seeing Yang Jingxuan approaching, she snapped the lid on the box and said, "These are all mine! Don't let Luo Li talk about anything else."

Yang Jingxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "A-Jiao, I'm not a bachelor now, I can feed my whole family and not be hungry, so naturally I want to think about you and the children. Since these are rewarded by the emperor, I won't carry them back."

Lin Jiao was relieved now, hugged him happily and scented her incense, and was busy looking for a place to tell him to dig a hole to hide the gold, saying that it was not safe to put it in the bank, and even more worried to put it at home, and it was the safest place to hide it.Yang Jingxuan obeyed her, dug a big hole in front of the bed where the two of them slept, and buried all the gold in it, leaving only a small amount, Lin Jiao felt relieved.

In October, Lin Jiao was nine months pregnant.

Last month, Li Guantao recruited civilian husbands to start construction.Because in the early stage, it is only to prepare materials and dig deeper to increase the bottom of the reservoir, and the old craftsmen are well versed in this.This fortification is estimated to last until the end of the year, and work will be suspended after the frozen ground, and will resume next spring.So there is nothing wrong with Lin Jiao for the time being.Yang Jingxuan went to the county every other day, and at the end of the month he brought back Neng Wu, who was studying in the academy.Mrs. Yang also came to visit her several times, counting the days until she gave birth.The days passed very peacefully.It's just that there was another commotion in Taohua Village during the period, that is, Widow Stone went back to the village with honor and showed her face——Shi Qingshan was an excellent candidate in the imperial examination and entered the Ministry of Industry. After being admitted to Beijing, the old lady was ordered to be an imperial edict.Everyone in the village was envious, and when they returned home, they urged their sons one after another. The school in Taohua Village became very popular, and people from several nearby villages also came here begging to send their dolls to study, saying that they were so popular.

Lin Jiao now eats and sleeps all day long, she is much fatter than before.Not to mention the waist, even the backs of the hands had a few dimples.Afraid that it would be difficult to give birth, she began to avoid eating, and wandered around for exercise when she had nothing to do-now she is a well-deserved celebrity in the village.Except for the fact that the third uncle was always not salty to her, women would come up to strike up a conversation with her everywhere she went, and her life was very nourishing.

The day of production is finally drawing near.

To be honest, the closer the day of giving birth, Lin Jiao became more afraid.It's okay during the day, but cranky at night.Just last night, she thought about what happened in case of dystocia, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She was so worried that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and she opened her eyes pitifully and asked Yang Jingxuan: "If I die to give birth to your son, you will guard us and bring us up." My baby, or marry a stepmother who abuses our baby?" Yang Jingxuan felt full of guilt, hugged her and coaxed her all night, and finally swore to God that he would never marry again, and she was satisfied.

He was a man, he killed people without blinking an eye on the battlefield, and he planted the seeds smoothly, but when it came to a woman giving birth, he was completely at a loss.I was quite frightened by her words.Early the next morning, the woman finally fell asleep on the couch because she was tired, but he hurried into the city, begging Mrs. Li to come and accompany her, and when Mrs. Li agreed, he went to look for Mrs. Yang again.So that afternoon, Mrs. Li brought the midwife to Taohua Village, and Mrs. Yang also dragged Mr. Mao and Ermao over.Fortunately, the Yang family's house is big enough for servants to live in.There was a lot of big hair and big hair, and it suddenly became lively, jumping around from time to time.

The nagging pregnant woman was severely taught by Mrs. Li, who scolded her for being outspoken.Lin Jiaowei Nuonuo was so scolded that she didn't dare to speak out. When it was dark at night, when she went back to her room and closed the door, Yang Jingxuan would be unlucky.The man who regretted it talked all kinds of things, and even finally abandoned his dignity as a man and fulfilled the promise he had made accidentally at the beginning—after he learned two barks from the tiger king, he finally coaxed her to turn over, hugged her and cried sweetly, "Respect" Uncle Xuan—"

The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he only hoped that she would give birth to the baby soon.He missed the old goblin so much.

Probably because she felt her father's call, it was also a coincidence that Lin Jiao had a stomachache and was about to give birth in the middle of the night.Fortunately, people are ready-made, and the child in the womb finally didn't bother her father any more—because the tossing mother is the tossing father, and the mother was crying inside, and the sound came to her ears, and the father was outside. His face was pale and he was sweating coldly.Before dawn, there was a croaking sound in the delivery room, and the child came down.

It's a girl, scrubbed and cleaned, not as wrinkled as ordinary children when they were just born, but she is white and tender, Yuxue is cute, with curly black hair, long eyelashes, closed eyes and sucked her little fist hard, so it squeaked rattle.Mrs. Li was so happy that she said again and again: "It's a bit more iconic than her mother. The daughter of a daughter is so kind, and I will recruit a few more younger brothers."

When the father, who was finally able to stand up from his panic, was allowed to enter, before he could comfort his wife, Lin Jiao wept and said, "It's a girl... I thought it was a boy... I want a boy... "

Yang Jingxuan hurriedly comforted him: "Girls are good, I like girls. I'm not happy about your having a boy."

Lin Jiao whimpered: "You liar... If you don't give birth to a boy, your third uncle won't want to see me! He has several names, all of which are boy names! But I don't want to have another baby. The child is so painful...why not a boy...what a boy..."

Yang Jingxuan became ruthless, and swore: "I only want a girl! Just one! I will never let you have another child in the future!"

Only then did Lin Jiao turn happy, and said with a smile: "Look, the baby I gave birth to you. It's beautiful. Look at the eyebrows, it looks like me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiaowa burst into tears, probably knowing that she was rejected, and she didn't give this mother any face.Lin Jiao coaxed her for a while, and then fed her again, but she refused to eat, and continued to cry.

The newly promoted father squatted in front of the bed and approached, yelled "good girl" a few times, and carefully stretched out his slightly rough fingers to touch her delicate little fist, as if he had a feeling, and was actually held by her After a few more croaks, it became quiet, and then fell asleep again.

Yang Jingxuan was so happy that he almost jumped up, and blurted out: "A-Jiao, look at her, she likes me!" She said a few times and didn't hear her response, so she felt something was wrong. Looking up, she saw that Lin Jiao's mouth was already curled up. , Said: "I'm tired, I want to sleep with my daughter. You go out." A sour smell came to the nostrils, and I couldn't stop it.

Yang Jingxuan laughed, stretched out his hand and gently pinched the tip of her nose, leaned over to his daughter and said, "My dear girl, I am your father and she is your mother. Both of you are father's little treasures. From now on, our family will be warm and happy." Have a lively day..."

Lin Jiao just had some taste.The beautiful daughter that he gave birth to in October will be biased towards him in the future.Now, hearing his rare and nasty confession, naturally speaking for himself, my heart suddenly feels better.Suddenly another thought popped up, thinking that even if there are a few more children, it might be willing.
