Chapter 249
Chapter 270 IX Personally
Jiang Wu's words made Huo Shijiu very guilty.He knew that it was because of his incompetence and burden that Jiang Wu had such worries. Presumably, his parents and sisters also felt the same way. Even if they had no resentment towards him, their lives would still be unstable.

Huo Shijiu was in a dilemma, he couldn't find a proper way to get them out of the right and wrong circle for a while, and he was really a big trouble, it seemed that whenever he got involved with him, life would never stop, especially when Jiang Wu .

Dry warm hands caressed her smooth and cool cheeks.

Ever since her wedding dress was stained with blood at the wedding banquet, her life has been turbulent since then. Sure enough, the old people were right, blood staining of her wedding dress is not a good sign, and he owed her.

"You're right. I shouldn't leave you here in fear, don't worry, I will try to arrange a way out..."

The following words were pointed in the mouth by Jiang Wu's index finger.

Seeing that his eyebrows were twisted into knots, and the joy of hearing that Qi Jin called him for the first time just now was gone, Jiang Wu really wanted to knock him on the head.

Isn't this person tired of always living like this when he takes the blame on himself?
"You misunderstood me. I don't want to put my parents and Amin in danger, but I don't want to leave you here alone. Even if you think of a retreat and tell me to go, I won't go." .”

"I didn't misunderstand." Huo Shijiu put his arms around Jiang Wu's shoulders: "How can I not understand you? But I really don't want you to get involved anymore. Now the situation is becoming more and more difficult to control."

"There's something uncontrollable." Jiang Wu didn't care, and picked Qijin up to let him play with her long hair, "Since we have used all the methods, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in the end. Besides, With the nature of the British Duke, he must now think that he has a chance to win, and we can just take advantage of this loophole."

"Your method is indeed good. After hearing about it, the emperor found it feasible and is implementing it now. But I don't want you to stay and take risks with father and mother."

"Father and mother stayed to take risks, but I stayed to help." Jiang Wu kissed Qijin's cheek, and the child immediately giggled, holding Jiang Wu's long play and dancing, calling: "Daddy."

Huo Shijiu chuckled: "Good boy, I am the father, this is your mother, you should call her mother."

"Father." Zhang Kai grabbed Jiang Wu's lapel with her small hand, and buried her face in it, as if she was about to nurse.

Jiang Wu couldn't help laughing, because she resumed her practice, her milk supply was very low after exercising.Unable to bear the child's persistent push into her arms, he could only unbutton his clothes and lean against him, "You little thing, I am mother, I want to be called mother."

Qi Jin slammed his mouth, really couldn't eat anything, but he also calmed down, only Jiang Wu's shadow was in his obsidian-like dark and bright eyes, and his little feet did not forget to touch Jiang Wu's soft side.

Huo Shijiu pulled the blanket to cover Jiang Wu, and lightly tapped Qijin's forehead: "You don't want to go out and find your father to breastfeed, so why don't people laugh at your father and me?"

Jiang Wu couldn't help but laugh.

Under the warm orange light, she has long hair and a gentle smile, as if she has a magical power that captivates the heart.Huo Shijiu was so dazed, he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Let me see you wearing that fiery red cheongsam today?"

Jiang Wu gave him a blank look, and her face also flushed, seeing his eyes falling on her open skirt and Qijin's little face that was trying to suck, she turned her body to block his sight: "I will coax the child to sleep first."

Huo Shijiu didn't respond, but raised his voice to call the wet nurse, and went back to rest with Qijin in his arms.

The candle was extinguished, and before Jiang Wu could put on her red cheongsam, he had already thrown it under the bed.His integration is with some eagerness, but more of it is full of despair and contradictory and suppressed enthusiasm.

Huo Shijiu asked for it twice in a row, and each time buried the burning desire deep in her depths. In the end, both of them felt tired before giving up.

When she fell asleep, he got up with his clothes on, went to the outer room to get dressed lightly, and ordered Luo Rui from the previous night to take care of his wife, then put on a cloak and left the Xiaoyi Academy, and went to the outer courtyard.

The study room was brightly lit, and Cao Yu had already brought people to wait.

Huo Shijiu sat on the first seat, with his slender fingers holding a black token that was not made of stone or wood, playing with it, his expression was dignified and indifferent, and his tone was calm and gentle: "It's getting late today, everyone has to work."

"Where did Hou Ye say that? Hou Ye has treated me as much as a mountain, but he has an order, so I dare not disobey."

"It's rare that you are willing to give me Huo Ying's face." Huo Shijiu stood up and said with a smile, "I won't be courteous to you anymore. Let's finish the business together and follow the old rules."

"Yes." Everyone answered loudly.

Huo Shijiu never treats his subordinates badly when he employs people. Regardless of success or failure, he will always have a large sum of money afterwards.

Cao Yu followed closely behind Huo Shijiu, and the group left the outer courtyard, took the side door to the stable to lead the horses, then left Shichahai in a mighty way, and ran towards the Zhao family in the southwest of the city.

In the bedroom, Jiang Wu turned over, only to feel a viscous liquid slipping out from under her body, but she really didn't even bother to move.Obviously his body was exhausted, but his brain refused to rest, guessing what Huo Shijiu was going out for in a daze, he couldn't help sighing softly.

It seems that it is not easy to change the status quo.

In the early morning, the heavy snow that had lasted for three days finally stopped, and the sunlight fell on the white snow blanket without hesitation, interweaving a festive atmosphere with the red lanterns hanging high in the Hou Mansion and the window grilles pasted on the window lattice paper.

Jiang Wu was wearing a real red jacket with arrow sleeves, a goose yellow squirrel leather skirt, and a light yellow brocade cloak. She walked up to the upper room with a delicate small heater in her arms, and all she saw was a festive scene of red and white .

"This is what it looks like during the Chinese New Year." Bing Song wore a brand new pink jacket, with silver hairpins and silk flowers on her buns, and said with a smile, "Yesterday I was worried that it would not be sunny today."

"That's right, it's snowing so hard that even the market is much deserted." Ting Yu was dressed in blue, giving off a refreshing feeling in the ice and snow.

Jiang Wu sighed: "As long as the country is stable, how can the world be deserted? The common people don't care how the superiors make trouble. As long as they are full and warm, it doesn't matter who takes the throne? Some people just can't let go." .”

"Ma'am, don't say that. If people listen to it, it's hard to guarantee that it won't cause trouble." Bing Song was very nervous, and felt that Jiang Wu's words were becoming more and more careless recently.Jiang Wu didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter, why are you nervous."

Could it be that the emperor is willing to anger Huo Shijiu if people haven't used them enough?Besides, her reputation outside was already rotten, so she wasn't afraid to add to it.

In the upper room, Mrs. Zhao was playing with Qijin with Jiang Yan and Mrs. Tang. When she heard that Jiang Wu was coming, Mrs. Zhao immediately smiled and said, "Sister Yan, hurry up and ask Sister Wu if she has prepared a red envelope. Tonight, I'm going to give a New Year's gift to her unborn little nephew."

"Mother." Jiang Yan blushed, stroked her protruding abdomen, and said, "Where is there a child who hasn't been born yet, as a mother, I will first ask others for New Year's money."

"That's right." Jiang Wu entered the room, bowed to the elders, and helped Jiang Yan to sit down on the edge of the kang: "Mother, this is partiality, I don't want to."

"You, don't refuse." Zhao joked: "When you get pregnant again, and you have a big belly during the Chinese New Year, I will also ask Sister Yan for your child's New Year's money."

Jiang Wuming saw that Zhao's eyes were teasing when he looked at her, but he was unmoved, and said without changing his expression: "That's a deal, mother will not go back on her word when the time comes." Then she pulled the surrounding mother and daughter-in-law All the children testify.

The house was really lively for a while.

The maidservants filed into the room and put down all kinds of holding boxes, which contained all kinds of fried noodles and fruit snacks, as well as snacks such as candy, peanuts and melon seeds, and another maidservant brought hot tea.

Jiang Wu sipped tea and said: "We will come back as soon as the banquet in the palace is over tonight. Parents don't have to worry in the mansion, they are waiting for us to come back and make dumplings."

"Aying also came back to watch the new year?"

"Yeah. Ah Ying has discussed with the emperor, and the emperor will come to our house tonight."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao seemed to be in trouble, Jiang Wu smiled and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, it's not that the emperor has never been to our house, we can spend the New Year how we want, as long as the emperor respects it, the rest will be as usual."

"But the emperor is the king of a country after all..."

"If you want ostentation, the ostentation in the palace is bigger than ours, so why come to our house? The emperor is willing to come, what he wants is a taste of home."

"That's what you said."

Several people were chatting and laughing in the room, and after a while, they saw Huo Dashuan and Huo Eranyi both wearing brand-new jackets and pulling up the curtain, entering the room one after another.

Seeing that Huo Dashuan was walking ahead with a livid face, and Huo Eranyi was following behind with a troubled expression on his face, Mrs. Zhao knew something was wrong.

"what happened?"

Seeing Huo Dashuan and Huo Eranyi coming back, Tang thought they might have something to discuss, so she took Jiang Jiao back to the guest house first.

Jiang Wu wanted to see her off, but when Huo Dashuan said: "That stinky boy, Ah Ying, is causing trouble outside again", he stopped in his tracks.

When Mrs. Zhao heard that it was Huo Shijiu's business, she couldn't help worrying: "What do you think is wrong with Ah Ying?"

"Your expression is that you are worried that Ah Ying will suffer a loss?" Huo Dashuan's voice was muffled: "What kind of temperament is our son? Others don't know, don't you? He can suffer a disadvantage? I wish he would suffer a disadvantage and leave a note for others A way to survive. When it was Chinese New Year, Hao Duanduan took him down and ransacked Mr. Zhao’s house. You said he was a marquis with idle jobs, not the master of Qingtian, and he didn’t have to chase fugitives, nor was he like He was also the commander of Jinyiwei before, how could he dare to do such a reckless thing like breaking into someone's house without permission, he is not afraid of getting his pigtails caught."

If Huo Dashuan didn't know about it before, Huo Jiujiu would have been scolded bloody.But even if Huo Dashuan knew about it now, he was still in a panic.

He knew what Huo Shijiu was like, but ordinary people didn't.Today's New Year's Eve, I received a white lantern in front of my house early in the morning, not just one, and I don't know which patriotic and loyal person let it go.
