pampering wife

Chapter 106

But even so, she couldn't back down now.So he gritted his teeth, his heart became clear and open again, he yawned, and went back to the house.

In the capital city in February, the willow spit is fresh and tender, the grass is lush and the leaves are green, and Qingmei is busy with wine making and does not go to seek the minister.Suddenly one day Gu Changqing stopped by to visit, only to find out that something happened in the north two days ago, the emperor sent him to inspect it in person, and even Chu Xiuming was ordered to go back to the border overnight.

No wonder the brothers and sisters of the Chu family have not visited recently, so it turns out that they have something to do.Qingmei sent Gu Changqing away, and when she looked up she saw a pair of swallows returning to their nests in Liangjian, with the spring breeze and warm sun, making people feel the warmth of spring.Before noon, Mrs. Xu is taking a few hired women to clean up the wine cellar. Qingmei has nothing to do, so it's time to read a book.

The courtyard door creaked, and when she looked up, she saw Chu Hongxiu walking in, saying, "You are leisurely, these two days have exhausted me to death."

"Sister Chu." Qingmei got up to greet her, "I heard that Brother Chu has gone back?"

"He left the night before yesterday, but he was at ease. It's a pity that I was pestered by Chu Han, and I suffered from a headache." Chu Hongxiu looked at Qingmei leisurely, and said, "I want to ride a horse to relax now, do you want to go?"

"Okay! I'm very bored." Qingmei immediately became interested, ran over to talk to Mrs. Xu, and then went out with Chu Hongxiu.

There were two healthy horses at the door, one was pure white and tall and strong, and Chu Hongxiu jumped on it, and the other group of maroon horses were shorter and seemed to be more docile, and Qingmei climbed up on the saddle.Huazhi Alley is not spacious, so they can only ride their horses and walk slowly at the moment, without the constraints of Mrs. Gu's rules, naturally they don't need to wear those obstructive veils and hats.

The two had lunch on Hede Street, and then went to Wuliuyuan outside the city.

Wuliuyuan is located in the western outskirts of the city. The terrain is open and flat, with a wide river flowing slowly in the middle and wild flowers on both sides. It is a good place for outings.Although there are no blooming flowers at this moment, the continuous greenery and the criss-crossing fields in the distance make people feel comfortable.

Qingmei and Chu Hongxiu galloped up to this point, and saw that there were few people, probably because the spring flowers hadn't bloomed yet, and the men and women in the capital hadn't planned to go out for a trip.It was good for them, they rode their horses freely, and when Chu Hongxiu talked about her going to the battlefield that year, Qingmei listened attentively.

The Chu family is currently stationed at the same place where Qu Heng stationed troops back then. When Chu Hongxiu talked about the customs there, he mentioned the local people's praise for General Qu, and he was emotional for a while.At the end he smiled and said, "You should go there and have a look when you have time."

Qing Mei was silent and lost in thought, she saw from a distance the figures on the other side of the river, a few beautiful figures were surrounded by people and walked slowly in front, followed by someone leading a horse.

Those figures looked a little familiar, but Qingmei squinted her eyes but couldn't see clearly, but Chu Hongxiu said, "Isn't that Gu Ronghua and the others?" Looking sideways at Qingmei, she joked, "Just say you shouldn't always burn the lamp to read at night. , I can't even see this clearly! I didn't earn fame, but my eyes were dazzled by reading."

"How can I compare with my sister, Saibei has an open terrain, and your eyes are sharper than that eagle." Qingmei smiled, and the two continued to walk along the river bank, while the people on the opposite side hugged and crossed the bridge. Seeing that they are not far away.

At this time, Qingmei also saw clearly that Wei Xin was walking in front, Gu Ronghua was next to her, and there were two sisters, Shen Yueqing and Shen Yuemei.Wei Xin was naturally something she would like to see, but Gu Ronghua...Qing Mei curled her lips, but still had to urge her horse to say hello.

The five of them had been in regular contact, and they had to get off their horses to exchange greetings.

Qingmei and Wei Xin hadn't seen each other for a few days, so they couldn't help laughing together now.When it was mentioned that everything in the tavern was ready to open, Wei Xin was delighted to praise it as a "good thing", and said that he would definitely come to support the tavern when the time came, and then invite Princess Yongle to the venue.Qing Mei was amused by her, she caught a glimpse of Gu Ronghua out of the corner of her eye, and saw that she was looking at her coolly, there was something more in her eyes than before, it seemed to be resentment?

Qingmei's back stiffened involuntarily, she felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, so she wanted to say goodbye.

Wei Xin and the sisters from the Shen family were probably tired from playing, so they didn't stay long after hearing the words, saying that there was an early-blooming wild flower at the foot of the Qinghua Mountain on the other side, and suggested Qingmei and the others to go and enjoy it.

Next to him, Gu Ronghua said something perfunctory, asking Qingmei to take care of her body, and stood by the river looking at the mountains in the distance, without any intention of leaving.Seeing her like this, Wei Xin leaned over and asked her what she was looking at, and the Shen family sisters responded, chirping lively.

Qingmei and Chu Hongxiu got on the horse, Chu Hongxiu said: "Then let's go to the other side of the river?"

"Okay!" Qingmei didn't object, and was about to urge the horse to go forward, but the horse seemed to be frightened, suddenly let out a long neigh, and ran forward like crazy.The four hoofs of the horse scooped up the soft mud and flew around, Qingmei pulled the reins, but found that the horse was not under her control at all, it galloped and neighed like crazy, and even jumped up, trying to knock her off the horse's back.

Qingmei turned pale with fright, she shouted "Sister Chu, help me", and hugged the horse's neck tightly, so as not to be thrown down by it and hurt her body.

Chu Hongxiu was also taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly urged the horse to follow. Wei Xin and the others also looked at the crazy horse anxiously, and urged the servants to call for help.The river was flowing slowly, a smile appeared on Gu Ronghua's lips, something slipped from his sleeve, and she gently kicked it into the river.
