Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 54

At the beginning of November, Fu Heng and Tong Wanrou set off to Shanxi.

Mrs. Li prepared 3000 carriages for them to load the materials they used to go to Shanxi, and the general accountant of the Fucha Mansion paid [-] taels of silver per month for them to travel in Shanxi.

Tong Wanrou has grown up to such an age, and has never traveled far. This time she followed Fu Heng to Shanxi, but her heart was still very happy. Sitting in the carriage and looking at the scenery along the way, she was reluctant to pull down the curtains of the carriage. With his arms resting on his chin, he lay prone in front of the car window, looking left and right.

Fu Heng peeled the oranges for her. After peeling, he put the sweet and juicy orange petals into her mouth. Tong Wanrou took them one by one and ate them, feeling extremely happy.

Fu Heng was afraid that the oranges would be cold for her, so he poured her another cup of steaming tea. Only then did Tong Wanrou turn around from the window and sit in the carriage to drink tea.

If the appearance of the two were seen by outsiders, they would definitely be surprised. Tong Wanrou felt a little embarrassed while drinking, and said to Fu Heng:

"Sanggong, I swore to my father-in-law that I came out with you to take care of you, but now, it's you taking care of me."

Seeing her cute pout, Fu Heng reached out to pinch her lips, and then said: "It's only natural for Mr. Xiang to take care of his wife, what nonsense are you talking about?"

After hearing what he said, Tong Wanrou clung to Fu Heng's side like a lazy kitten, leaning on his broad shoulders, turning her head to look at him from time to time, as if she couldn't get enough of it.

From time to time, Fu Heng gave her a piece of orange, and seeing her bright eyes, he couldn't help asking:

"looking at what?"

Tong Wanrou simply curled up and lay down, pillowed on Fu Heng's lap, and said:
"I'm looking at my husband-in-law. When I married you, everyone disapproved. Now, I'm really thankful for my persistence."

Fu Heng remembered the scene of their first marriage, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I am also very grateful for your persistence. Thank you for being willing to marry me when everyone is not optimistic about it."

Tong Wanrou looked up at him, the corners of her mouth kept rising, Fu Heng couldn't help but bent down, and pecked lightly on her lips.

After three days' journey, the Fucha family's convoy arrived in Taiyuan, Shanxi. All the surrounding officials, large and small, greeted Fu Heng in front of the city gate. When the car is driving, it starts to beat the lion dance.

Tong Wanrou took a few peeks from behind the car window. The scene was like a big show. Fu Heng was not in the carriage at this time, but had already been notified. With the style of an adult, he led everyone into the city.

The magistrate Wang Tao had prepared a house for Fu Heng a long time ago. It is a house facing south. It is not particularly big, but it is well-organized inside and has a dedicated housekeeper. When she got off the car, there were two The little maid came up to help her, which surprised her.

"Hello, madam. The maidservant is called Xiaocui, and this maidservant's younger sister is Xiaodie. From now on, we will serve the lady. If there is anything the lady wants or wants to do, just ask the maidservants to do it."

After all, Xiao Cui is bigger, more courageous, articulate and articulate, and her looks are neither outstanding nor mediocre. Like her sister, she is of average appearance. This kind of appearance can be regarded as a more reassuring type of maid.

Tong Wanrou didn't speak, just looked at them and smiled, then took out two pre-sealed red envelopes from her sleeves, handed them to them, and then said softly:

"I've never traveled far before. It's the first time I came to Shanxi with my husband. I'm not familiar with the place. From now on, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me."

Xiaocui and Xiaodie didn't expect this lady to be so generous, and they sealed red envelopes as soon as they met, and immediately declined:
"Madam, I dare not do this. It is only natural for servants to serve Madam, how dare they accept Madam's reward again."

Tong Wanrou pushed her hand back and said, "Since it's a reward, then don't refuse it. It's not a lot, it's just my heart."

Seeing that Tong Wanrou's face was normal, but her words and actions were very persistent, Xiaocui and Xiaodie looked at each other, put the red envelope in their sleeves, and then they supported Tong Wanrou, one on the left and the other on the right.

After Fu Heng dismounted, he was invited to a banquet by officials of all sizes in Shanxi. Tong Wanrou originally thought that she could take a break, but unexpectedly, after Fu Heng left, a group of official sedan chairs stopped at her door. One after another, well-dressed ladies and ladies walked out of the hall.

I saw them walking towards Tong Wanrou in a swarm, bowing to her with aspirations, and said:
"See Mrs. Governor."

Tong Wanrou remained calm and showed everyone's demeanor. Before she could speak, she returned the salute and said, "Madams, there is no need to be too polite."

You can tell from their attire that these are the wives and daughters of the officials who invited Fu Heng away earlier. They must have found out that Fu Heng was taking the post this time with his family members, so they arranged in advance for the wives and daughters of the officials. Come and greet her.

Although she wanted to take a good rest, Tong Wanrou had no choice but to follow them to the arranged boat, and felt respected and flattered for the first time after getting married. After all, when they were in the capital, everyone always I think she is not well married, but here, her father-in-law is the governor, and all the officials in Shanxi city look up to him. Therefore, these officials and wives are all respectful and flattering to her, which makes Tong Wanrou feel ashamed endlessly.

But the time of being praised by others is not too difficult. After an hour, Tong Wanrou said that she was a little tired from the exhaustion of the boat and the car. and so on.

When Tong Wanrou returned to the mansion, it was already the beginning of the lights.

The housekeeper in the mansion had already ordered people to light up the lanterns. When Tong Wanrou came back, she stepped on the light and entered the house. She found that the environment in the mansion was also very quiet and elegant, not inferior to Li's small courtyard. My servant, let's say hello to Tong Wanrou together.

Tong Wanrou couldn't remember so many people at once, but all the people who came to see her were rewarded. After receiving the rewards, they all went back happily, praising the lady for her generosity as she walked.

Tong Wanrou reckoned that it would not be too early for Fu Heng to come back tonight, because she knew the temper of her husband, he knew how to be an official, and he knew how to be an official. It's a good relationship, so, when everyone is chatting, don't you forget the time.

Asked Xiaocui and Xiaodie to bring her bath water, and let them back down, Tong Wanrou decided to take a good bath first, to wash away the dust of the past few days, who knows, whether it was too tired or the water temperature was too comfortable, She was washing and washing, and fell asleep in the bathtub.

I don't know how long she slept, Tong Wanrou only felt her body lighten up, as if being hugged out of the water, she seemed to feel a little cold, but within a short while, she was wrapped in a thin blanket again.

Would treat her so tenderly, who else but the husband?

Waking up from happiness, Tong Wanrou opened her eyes and saw Fu Heng's handsome face. Seeing her wake up, he lowered his head and kissed her, a strong smell of alcohol came to his nostrils.

Tong Wanrou was put on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, slipped into Fu Heng's arms, and asked, "How much did you drink? Are you going to make some hangover soup?"

Fu Heng shook his head and brushed the messy hair from her forehead: "No need, I didn't drink much tonight. What about you? Those wives have been tormenting you a lot, right?"

Tong Wanrou also smiled sweetly, shook her head and said, "No, no. I'm the governor's wife now, how dare they torment me? It's too late to flatter me, everyone is telling me that my life is good, and I married such an outstanding man."

The two looked at each other, and burst out laughing at the same time.

Fu Heng took Tong Wanrou's clean underwear from the screen and asked her to put it on, and then let her lie down peacefully.
