Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 55

The appointment of Fu Heng as the governor was a surprise to the officials in Shanxi. Everyone never thought that the emperor would arrange for such a young man to come after the previous governor retired and returned home. Because he was not familiar with Fu Heng, Therefore, be on guard against him and dare not explain the core.

When all the officials in Shanxi were struggling, they didn't know who had exposed the behind-the-scenes relationship. Only now did everyone know that the newly appointed governor was not only the son of Hacha chief Li Rongbao, but also the emperor's brother-in-law. , the uncle of the eldest elder brother today, with this relationship, everyone's wariness of Fu Heng from the beginning has become the current flattery and trust.

Not for anything else, because they know that Fu Heng was able to sit on the position of governor entirely because of the emperor's admiration and love, not what they were worried about before. Be friends with mediocre people like them, but will intentionally alienate those with superior abilities.

Fu Heng left early and returned late, so Tong Wanrou took care of the house. Fu Heng sent her two guards so that she could go out and play when he was not at home.

Tong Wanrou's life is unprecedentedly free and refreshing. Without the pressure from all walks of life in the capital, she feels like a canary that has been released from the cage. The sky is high and the sea is wide. That piece of sky is drawn.

Chengri is very happy.Seeing her happy smiling face, Fu Heng immediately felt relieved. Originally, he was worried that Wanrou would not adapt to the simple conditions in Shanxi. Unexpectedly, she didn't mind these things at all. She tried her best to arrange her life every day without feeling a little bit uncomfortable. boring.

Today, Tong Wanrou went to the theater with the magistrate's wife. The magistrate's wife is a woman in her 50s, and she always maintains etiquette when she is with Tong Wanrou.

"What does Madam like to hear?"

Tong Wanrou was looking at this fresh troupe, and was a little puzzled by the prefect's wife's question:
"Huh? Oh, I used to only listen to opera at home, never outside. I can listen to whatever is here, or I can listen to it with my wife."

The magistrate's wife smiled gently at Tong Wanrou: "Yes, the old woman will decide to play a scene where Wang Jin saves his mother, okay?"

Tong Wanrou had no objection and nodded.

The play begins.

This lady is probably a frequent visitor of the theater troupe, so the theater troupe brought them a lot of melons and fruits just after the show started. Tong Wanrou was engrossed in listening to the play, but she heard a sound next to her, like the sound of a cup being broken, Turning around, I saw a rather beautiful maidservant kneeling beside the magistrate's wife sobbing.

The prefect's wife was sitting there watching the show like nothing happened, seeing Tong Wanrou turning her head, she smiled at her again, Tong Wanrou couldn't help asking:

"What's up with her?"

The magistrate's wife seemed unwilling to talk about it, so she simply replied: "This girl is sloppy, she is like this in the mansion, I didn't expect it to be like this outside, let her kneel and remember."

Tong Wanrou saw that the magistrate's wife seemed to hate the maid from the bottom of her heart, and knew that there must be some stories between them that were not humane, and she knew about other people's family background anyway, so she didn't want to intervene, so she took a few more glances at the maid , and continued watching the play.

After watching the play, the magistrate's wife asked to send her back, but after Tong Wanrou refused in every possible way, she let her stop. Sitting in the soft sedan chair going home, Tong Wanrou just felt sleepy, rubbed her eyes, and opened the curtain , Xiaocui immediately came over, and Tong Wanrou said to her:
"I don't know why my heart is always a little stuffy recently, so I went to buy some candied fruit."

Xiaocui nodded briskly: "Hey, good lady."

After finishing speaking, Xiaocui went forward to point out the direction to the bearer. When she arrived, Xiaocui invited the drowsy Tong Wanrou to get off the sedan chair. Tong Wanrou looked at the various candied fruits in the store and felt that she had no appetite. Feeling that, he walked to a jar and asked the shopkeeper:

"what is this?"

The store owner had never seen such a big battle before, knowing that it must be the wife of a rich family, after a moment of stunned, he hurriedly bowed over to say hello, looked at the jar Tong Wanrou was pointing at, and said:
"This is jujube, and it hasn't been filled with honey yet." The shop owner opened the lid of the jar while talking, and asked Tong Wanrou to look inside. Tong Wanrou took a look, then smelled it and said:

"Just buy this, it smells really good."

After finishing speaking, the shop owner looked puzzled and said to her: "Ma'am, this is jujube. It has not been honeyed yet, but it is sour. Why don't you look at other things."

Tong Wanrou moved her head closer to the jar again. The boss was afraid that she would not believe it, so he specially brought a tong and a small plate, put two pitted dates on the plate, brought it to Tong Wanrou, and said:

"Madam, if you don't believe me, you can try it. My shop has been selling candied fruit for decades, but I don't dare to deceive customers. Try it, isn't it so sour?"

Seeing the sincerity of what he said, Tong Wanrou hesitated for a moment, and then put one into her mouth with her lips covered. When it reached her mouth, she really felt a little sour, but... the taste didn't seem to be as unbearable as he said, on the contrary, After eating this sour food, the mouth is full of fluid, and the aftertaste is quite good.

"I think it's good, so let's buy this." Tong Wanrou has always had her own opinion and insistence on the things she likes, so she let Xiaocui pick up the package and pay for it.

The boss touched his head and looked at the team they were leaving, 1 people didn't understand.

When Fu Heng returned home, Tong Wanrou was already sitting at the table waiting for him, tinkering with a small gadget in her hand, and when she saw him come back, she put it down and came up to meet him.

After the two had dinner together, Fu Heng said to Tong Wanrou who was about to go back to the room:

"I heard that there will be a lantern festival in the market today, do you want to see it?"

When Tong Wanrou heard the lantern show, both eyes began to shine, she stared at Fu Heng and nodded, Fu Heng deliberately said: "But didn't some people say they were sleepy just now and wanted to sleep?"

Tong Wanrou didn't answer his obviously provocative question, she walked over softly, hooked Fu Heng's arm, and refused to let go no matter what, she used her way to tell about Tong Wanrou's unique ability to act like a spoiled child.

Every time Tong Wanrou softened her body, Fu Heng had nothing to do with her.

The two changed into regular clothes, didn't need a sedan chair, and only brought four or five guards with them, so they went to the street hand in hand.

When Tong Wanrou was in the capital, she longed for the word lantern festival. Nine out of ten men and women in the novels met at the lantern festival. I would still like to go out with my husband and have a look.

There are many people coming and going in the market, there are many people selling things, and there are also many people buying things.Fu Heng asked Tong Wanrou if she wanted anything, Tong Wanrou looked around, pointed to several food stalls, and said:

"I haven't eaten those, I want to eat them all."

"..." Fu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't we just have dinner?"

Ignoring the teasing in Fu Heng's tone, Tong Wanrou dragged him to a wonton stall, and after asking the boss for two small bowls of wonton, she dragged Fu Heng to sit down again.

Fu Heng was not hungry, but in order not to spoil her interest, he ate a few mouthfuls after the wontons were served, but Tong Wanrou ate the bowl upside down, not even letting go of a small shrimp , all eaten.

Then he rubbed his stomach and stood up contentedly.

Fu Heng felt that there seemed to be some changes in his wife, but he couldn't tell exactly where. At least, the former Tong Wanrou definitely couldn't eat so much food.

He was puzzled, and walked with her for a while, Tong Wanrou's eyes fell on the steaming plum cake on the side of the road again, looking at Fu Heng expectantly, Fu Heng looked at her helplessly, and asked:

"Do you still want to eat?"

Tong Wanrou nodded, but Fu Heng shook his head: "Lady, did you eat too much tonight, you should have a stomachache when you go back."

Tong Wanrou raised her hand like a child to promise: "No, I won't have a stomachache. Although I have eaten so much, I still seem to be very hungry. Let's eat more."

"..."

Fu Heng never expected that after the two of them came out from dinner, Tong Wanrou could eat another bowl of wontons, two plum cakes, a bunch of candied haws, a bowl of simmered noodles, and a piece of mutton pastry with sauce.

Rather than taking her out to enjoy the Lantern Festival, it is better to say that I took her out to eat again, not because I was afraid of spending money, but because I thought that eating like this would spoil my stomach.

All the way worriedly asked her if her stomach was uncomfortable, but Tong Wanrou shook her head normally. Fu Heng put his hand on her forehead and checked the temperature. He felt that although her body temperature was slightly higher than usual, it was still warm. It doesn't look like a fever and illness.

I'm relieved, anyway, it's always a good thing for my daughter-in-law to eat more and gain weight.

However, when he returned to the room at night, Fu Heng came back from washing and saw Tong Wanrou sitting on the soft couch reading a book and eating candied fruit. Curiously, he walked over to taste the bright red candied fruit, which almost made him cry.

"Is this thing edible? Why is it so sour?"

Tong Wanrou poked her head out from behind the book: "Huh? Is it sour? Maybe I ate too much at night, so I don't feel sour. Maybe it's just my appetite."

Fu Heng looked at her, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He walked up to Tong Wanrou and sat down. After hesitating for a while, he asked:
"How long has it been since you had your menstruation?"

Tong Wanrou put down the book, not knowing how to answer the blunt question of Xianggong, she stammered for a long time and said:

"It's almost two months. Maybe it's because I was too tired before, and my body hasn't recuperated yet. I'll be fine next month."

"..."

Fu Heng took a deep breath, forced himself to resist the impulse in his heart, opened the door, and asked someone to find a doctor outside to give Tong Wanrou his pulse.

After the doctor made a diagnosis in every possible way, he congratulated Fu Heng:

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my wife, this is a happy pulse."

"..."

Fu Heng held the doctor's hand with an expression of "I knew it", said a lot of words of thanks, and personally sent the doctor out of the house, while Tong Wanrou completely froze there... Ximai?
