Chapter 6(1/2)
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at the hand held by her, his expression a little sad.
How could it not matter? If he was so suspicious of me, he would definitely make trouble with him and ask him to coax him. When he thought about it, it seemed as if such grievances had happened to him.
She slowly sat up and leaned forward to wrap her arms around his neck.
Seeing that he finally looked at her, he smiled brightly and said, "The husband promised me that he would never lie to me and that he would always be so good to me, otherwise..."
His eyes flashed, he looked at her smile so close at hand, and asked softly: "What else?"
She tilted her head and whispered in his ear teasingly, "Otherwise, I won't want you."
Feeling his body stiffen instantly, she smiled triumphantly, hugged him tightly, and giggled.
Her sweet laughter was in his ears. Although he knew it was just her playful words, it made his heart suddenly drop. A slight feeling of loss spread throughout his body, but panic gradually rose, making him wrap his arms around her.
The hands on my waist gradually became stronger.
Want to leave him? It depends on whether he agrees!
Naturally, Xu Miaoyin couldn't see his increasingly paranoid eyes, but she felt that his hands were tightening and tightening, making her almost breathless.
She struggled to leave his arms, but instead he held her tighter and tighter. She could only say: "Husband, I can't breathe!"
Hearing her cough a few times, he slowly regained consciousness, let go of his hand tightly around her waist, and patted her back to help her breathe.
She glanced at him coquettishly, but saw that his slightly raised eyebrows were drooping downward, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, looking aggrieved.
"Don't let me go!" he said sadly.
She suddenly felt dumbfounded and coaxed, "I was joking with you."
"It's not okay to joke!"
"Then you have something to lie to me about!"
"..."
"There's still something you're hiding from me!" She asked again questioningly.
"..."
"Well, Madam, you see you slept for so long today and haven't used your lunch yet. I'll ask them to prepare some food! Ahem..."
After saying that, he didn't dare to look at her. He coughed in embarrassment, then stood up and left the inner room with his hands behind his back.
She looked at his desperate appearance and chuckled.
The continuous rain has dyed the entire city of Yangzhou ink, making the hazy drizzle a bit more poetic and picturesque.
Yuqiu held an umbrella, and the raindrops dripping from the umbrella formed a line and fell on the food box in her hand. She moved the food box closer to herself, walked a few steps quickly, and came to the corridor.
Yuchun saw Yuqiu through the bamboo curtain, lifted the curtain and came out, took the food box in her hand, and handed the silk handkerchief to Yuqiu, asking her to wipe off the rain on her body, and then took the food box
Entered the house.
In the room, Fang Shuhuai was sitting in front of the desk in the bright room, looking at the account books. When he heard a movement, he looked up and saw Yuchun entering the inner room with a food box. He lowered his eyes and continued to look at the account books above the desk.
Yuchun entered the inner room and saw Xu Miaoyin sitting on the soft couch looking at the account books sent by Mother Wu.
Seeing that she was looking at her seriously, he reminded her softly: "Girl, it's time to take medicine!"
When Xu Miaoyin heard the sound, she looked up and said, "It's been how many days and my head doesn't hurt anymore. Why do I still drink?"
Ever since she had a headache that day, Fang Shuhuai went to see an old doctor that night. He said that the wind evil caused by falling into the water had not been eliminated and the Qi and blood were retrograde, which was why she had such a headache. She needed to rest and drink medicine for a few days.
I have been drinking for almost seven days now, why do I still drink?
Seeing how resistant she was, Yuchun took out another plate of candied fruits like a magic trick and handed it to Xu Miaoyin like a treasure.
Xu Miaoyin pursed her lips and smiled, looked outside, took a candied fruit in her mouth when Fang Shuhuai wasn't paying attention, raised the bowl of medicine, and drank it in one breath.
Seeing that his master had finished drinking the medicine, Yuchun put away the plate of preserves like a thief.
There was no other way. The old doctor said that this medicine should not be taken with honey and candied fruit, as the medicinal properties would be reduced. But the girl was afraid of hardship, and her uncle kept a close eye on it, so he could only prepare it secretly for her.
As soon as she finished drinking the medicine, she saw Fang Shuhuai leaning on the door, looking at her with a half-smile.
She covered her mouth and coughed, and Yuchun stepped out knowingly.
He walked to the other side of the soft couch and sat down, watching her lower her eyes as she looked at the account book as if to hide it, but the trembling eyelashes betrayed her.
He raised his lips and smiled, put his forehead on his hand, looked at her impeccably, and gently advised: "Good medicine is bitter. If Madam doesn't want to take medicine tomorrow, don't take candied fruit for the medicine in the evening!"
Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Xu family is soft-tempered but not weak, resolute and resolute, and can manage the household and affairs well, but they don't know that she is only afraid of taking medicine.
Seeing that he seemed to be making fun of her, she put her beautiful hand in front of him and said, "Smell it, I smell like medicine. If you drink it, I will almost turn into a medicine jar!"
A trace of unbearability flashed in Fang Shuhuai's eyes, and he quickly smiled and rolled his eyes. He took her hand, kissed the soft back of her hand, and said, "Why didn't I smell it?"
She spat at him, blushed, and withdrew her hand from his, changing the subject.
"Do you have a letter from dad?"
Fang Shuhuai lowered his eyes, sat up straight, and replied: "I got it, I just put the letter in the study and I'll get it for you."
She grabbed him and said, "Just send someone to get it. Why go there yourself?"
He looked at her with a smile and said, "It would be faster if I go get it myself so that Madam can see it earlier, right?"
After saying that, he got off the bed and went to the study.
After a while, he came back with the letter.
She couldn't wait to open the letter, and her expression relaxed visibly, as if the haze above her head had completely dissipated, and a slight light came out.
Seeing that she was completely happy, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, but he saw that she had tears in her eyes at the end, hugging the letter to her chest and crying like she couldn't help herself.
Fang Shuhuai's eyes darkened. Did she realize that this was not Xu Renian's handwriting?
He turned to her side, held her in his arms, and asked: "Didn't my father arrive safely and there is no problem with the food? Why did he start crying just looking at it?"
Seeing that she was crying until she was choked with sobs, he gently supported her on her back.
"You don't know, I've been waiting for this day, this letter, for a long, long time..."
She hugged his lean waist and cried more and more sadly.
She had really waited for a long time, and finally she could reverse her destiny. How could she not burst into tears.
Fang Shuhuai looked down at her, with a little regret in his eyes.
He never hesitates or hesitates when doing things, but he always hesitates to her.
He doesn't regret what he did, he is just afraid that she will leave him.
He never wanted to feel the feeling of losing her again!
But at this moment, seeing her crying so miserably, he gradually regretted it. Did he really do something wrong?
He closed his eyes, his expression dimmed, but his tone became softer, "If crying makes you feel better, then cry as much as you want!"
She hugged Fang Shuhuai and cried for a while. When the clouds cleared and the rain began to clear, all the knots in her heart seemed to be lifted. She raised her eyes and looked at him, her voice hoarse after crying, "Husband, I am so happy, you will all be fine."
!”
He looked at her eyes that were red from crying, full of pity, "I'm also happy that you can always stay with me!"
He thought that he would never be able to leave her, and he didn't know when he fell in love with her. She was like a stream flowing into the sea, integrating into his life bit by bit, making him think of not having her.
Her existence makes life worse than death!
He won't let anyone take her away!
Even she herself is not allowed!
"Husband, look, the rain outside the window has stopped." She turned her head and looked out the window. The banana leaves looked even more delicate after the rain.
She thought that there would be no more haze from now on.
Those memories filled with grief, anger and resentment will eventually leave her.
——
Jade City has gone through two dynasties. As the ruling center of the country and a gathering place for the powerful, it has always been prosperous and every inch of land is valuable.
To the south of Imperial Street are the residences given by the emperors, and most of the dignitaries of the day lived here. However, the only residence that owns the entire street here is the Rongguo Palace, which is known as the Stone of the Pillar Kingdom.
The origin of Rong Guo Gong Fang Zhiyuan can also be called a legend. He was originally an orphan adopted by Taiyuan guard Fang Da. Because Fang Da failed in the battle, his home was confiscated, the female family members were fined to be slaves in Yeting, and the men were sentenced to wandering.
, he was also implicated because of this. The place where he traveled was a remote town with difficult conditions. He experienced large and small battles in such an environment. Later, he was appreciated by Lingzhou guard Luo Tingguang and became his subordinate. Since then, he has been promoted step by step.
, and because of his meritorious service in supporting the new emperor, he was granted the title of Shangzhuguo, Rongguogong, to show his loyalty and bravery, and took charge of the military power. For a time, he had unlimited glory and constant honors. Naturally, he attracted the people in the court who were in favor and favored to pay homage.
.
The sun was scorching, but there was a long queue in front of the gate of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion. They were all the general managers and staff of the ministers and ministers of the court, handing in greeting cards from their respective masters, waiting for an appointment.
In the Rongguo Palace, Manager Zhang Yan walked quickly towards the back garden with a letter in his hand. He didn't know if he was walking too fast, but he was sweating all over his forehead. His plump body stopped to take a breath.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to walk forward quickly.
In the back garden, a person is sitting by the lake, holding a fishing rod, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and a fish basket beside him. It is very inconsistent with the wide robe and brocade clothes he is wearing, and he looks as leisurely and comfortable as an old man.
