Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 122 Journey to the South of the Yangtze River (Hangzhou II)
Bai Yanqing put Lu Xiaowen on Lu Xiaowen's shoulder happily, and winked at him, meaning that it's been a long time since I haven't seen him, and he's promising.

Lu Xiaowen patted his hand away with no shame on his face, and asked softly, "Why are you back?"

Bai Yanqing snorted: "If I don't come back, will the house be emptied by you?"

Then, Bai Yanqing excitedly pulled him to tell him what he had seen and heard in Ganzi: "It's hard for you to imagine that there is such a mysterious and rich place in the world, where people hold prayer wheels and their faces On the ground, although weather-beaten, there are still peaceful smile lines, gorgeous prayer flags flying on the high ground, and a group of walking lamas."

"During this trip to Sichuan, I also met a group of barbarians with light hair and blue eyes. They are different from the Tartars we usually see. They come from the other side of the ocean. What are they called... um... Sika?"

"Pfft..." He Shaoguang almost spit out a sip of tea, "Mr. Xiaobai, are you talking about Mexico?"

"Oh yes! This is what my brother and sister are talking about, Mexico!" Bai Yanqing smiled and boasted, "My brother and sister are really knowledgeable. This is the first time I met these people. They even gave me some flower and vegetable seeds. I don’t know. I love to play around with these things, and I happened to meet you, why don't you take them away for me. When the fruits and vegetables really grow, if I'm in Beijing, ask someone to give me some."

"Ah..." He Shaoguang was even more surprised when he saw a box of strangely shaped seeds. This trip, Bai Yanqing's trip was really worth it!
"That's all. I've seen this pepper in their hands. It grows in clusters and blooms white flowers after ripening. The fruit is like a bald brush head. The color is bright red and it's really beautiful. I I have written a note, and I want to send some to the old sage to the palace to see how I can grow some in the imperial garden."

Bai Yanqing specially introduced the pepper plant, while He Shaoguang's eyes lit up as early as the moment he saw the pepper seeds, and he looked at the packet of seeds over and over again, showing surprise on his face.

"Uh, brother and sister?" Bai Yanqing finished talking, and found that no one paid attention to him. Lu Xiaowen looked at the iron weapons he brought back, while He Shaoguang looked like he was about to drool while holding the pile of seeds.

"Ah?" He Shaoguang came back to his senses, his face radiant, "Is it really all for us?"

"Well, just leave some flower seeds. I guess no one in the palace likes to grow vegetables."

He and Lu Xiaowen were as good as wearing a pair of trousers when they were young, so why should he care about a few seeds?All the things that were really worth visiting were imprinted in his mind.

"Then can you give me some of these pepper seeds? Mr. Xiaobai, I have read about the method of adding pepper to vegetables in a certain book, and I have always wanted to try it." He Shaoguang gave a random reason, she is real Miss the chili so much.

"Okay, then I'll have the cheek to eat it. I've heard that my siblings are amazing cooks, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to taste them."

When he returned home last year, Lu Xiaowen was still fighting in Yanzhou, how could he rush to visit He Shaoguang, whom he had never seen before?
They just asked Lu Fengju to have a drink, even if they made contact.

"Who did you listen to?" Lu Xiaowen heard the words, with a smile that was not a smile, with piercing eyes.

Bai Yanqing swallowed her saliva: "Lu Lao San"

Lu Fengju didn't know that he was betrayed, and he was watching the midwife coming in and out, with a scorched face.

That night, Shen's finally started. She had been expecting the baby for nearly nine months, and the birth was also very smooth.

Wen Po smiled brightly like a chrysanthemum: "Congratulations to the third master, he is a brother, and he is fair. Although Miss Shen's pregnancy is a little earlier than expected, but my brother is healthy and strong, just look at it."

Lu Fengju also happily shouted a series of rewards outside the delivery room, and a series of rewards were delivered to the servants, all beaming.

Shi Nianjiao's place could hear laughter from outside, the servants of Ziwei Garden didn't dare to show their air, they quietly waited on Shi Nianjiao and Lu Mingrui, who was only half a year old, for fear of making any mistakes.

Shi Nianjiao snorted, "What are you afraid of? Do you still think I will get angry?"

Bai Shao stared, signaling those people not to be too obvious, and said with a smile: "Slaves and maidservants know it well in their hearts, our wife is the best tempered, how can I mess up my heart because of such a mess? "

"Yes." Everyone echoed.

"That's all." Shi Nianjiao waved his hand, "Since you are under my command, please give me some rewards, and don't treat me badly, after all, I am the first brother of the third master."

"Yes, do you just want the servants to go in person?" Bai Shao asked for instructions.

"No need, you girls have thin skins, just send a woman away." Shi Nianjiao held her daughter in her arms, softly hummed a newly learned nursery rhyme, and lulled her to sleep.

Facing those big black eyes shining like lychee kernels, she smiled in a good mood: "If Master wants to come over tonight, let Aunt Liu take care of you."

"Yes." A maid answered, and went to speak to Aunt Liu first.

Shen Shi gave birth to a brother, Lu Fengju happily wanted to carry her aunt, and came to Shi Nianjiao to discuss, or to inform.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even see Shi Nianjiao's face, so he was startled by Aunt Liu who was pouring wine: "Why are you here?"

Aunt Liu covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly: "Don't you want to be a concubine?"

After all, she lightly shook him with a handkerchief.

"The beauty is so gorgeous, I miss it so much." Lu Fengju was distracted by the beauty, and followed Aunt Liu back to her courtyard in a fluttering mood.

Aunt Liu dressed up specially, and she was also very pampered when she first entered the mansion, so she naturally knew what Lu Fengju liked about her.

She specially dressed up coquettishly, with willow waist, small hips, and thin summer clothes. Under the dim window light, a white and delicate chest was exposed, and a few drops of fragrant sweat condensed, flowing down the arc until she couldn't see it.

Lu Fengju followed the drop of sweat with his eyes, imagining that it was himself, without even telling Shi Nianjiao that he had come and gone, he hurriedly followed Aunt Liu away.

The idea of ​​promoting Shen's position was even more forgotten.

"He's gone?" In the back room, Shi Nianjiao didn't fall asleep, but sat in front of the lamp with all her clothes on, carefully applying body lotion made of floral dew on her hands.

"Just as Madam expected." Bai Shao proudly said.

"They've rested, so should we. There's still a performance tomorrow." Shi Nianjiao put on a smile, since she praised Aunt Liu, she hoped that Aunt Liu would catch her too, and don't let her down.

Bai Yanqing in the White Mansion knew that He Shaoguang was his "book fan", and was obviously very happy: "I really didn't expect my younger siblings to read my books. At first, I was worried that the bookstore would print dozens of copies, and they wouldn't be able to sell them. .”

"No, gold always shines." He Shaoguang took this opportunity to get close, "Next time there will be a new book, can you send me a copy first? It's really hard to grab."
