Foster son and husband

Chapter 54 Grace
Bai Zhan came back from the mansion in a hurry, entered the East Garden through the east corner gate, did not see Master Hou, asked Ruibao Ruizhu, said that Master Hou took Baoju to see the eldest wife, and then went to talk to the second master, It is estimated that he came back after having dinner at the old lady's place. After doing this calculation, he would not be able to return to the East Garden until it was dark.

what to do?This matter has something to do with grandma, should I go back to grandma?However, as the Hou Ye's personal long-term follower, there is no such precedent for returning to Grandma without telling the Hou Ye, so I don't know if it is appropriate?

Bai Zhan poked his head in the direction of the upper room through the moon cave door, just as Cui Si walked by and found him:

"What is Guigui Chongchong doing? Stand up and talk about something, don't look like a man!"

Bai Zhan Qi knot: Anyway, parents also gave birth to a round waist, broad shoulders, strong and tall, why doesn't it look like a man?This girl's mouth is too poisonous, even more annoying than Ruizhu!
But he had no choice but to come out and said: "Sister Cuisi reported to Grandma that the sergeants who escorted the uncle to Yuezhou have returned!"

Cuisi was stunned when she heard it, and then she was delighted: Grandma chanted every day, didn't she prick her ears to hear the news from uncle?

Quickly said: "You wait, I'll go back to grandma!"

He ran away in a hurry, picked up the warm curtain and walked into the upper room, reported the news to Meiniang, who was overjoyed, called Baizhan to come in, and asked him in detail.But Bai Zhan's words made her worried, and she wished she could go back to her mother's house right away.

Qin Boqing was too weak and was fine when he went there, but he fell ill on the way back to Beijing. His wife who was pregnant with Liujia was already weak, so she had to take care of him. As a result, when they returned to the capital, the couple lay down in the car and could not move. The sergeants hurriedly sent them back to the Qin residence, and went to find Bai Zhan to make an appointment, but Bai Zhan couldn't find Hou Ye, so he first came to report to the grandma.

Qin Meiniang said to Ms. Wang: "Clean up quickly, I'll report to the eldest lady, and take me back to my mother's house!"

Madam Wang looked at the sky and persuaded: "Grandma should come back early tomorrow morning. You have to discuss it with Master Hou, so you can't run back on your own!"

Meiniang thought about Xu Junying's words: Discuss everything with me and listen to me.

She frowned: What is there to discuss?People are so sick that they lie there and can't move, can they be allowed to go back and visit?

Alas, living under the eaves of others, I have to bow my head, and I still have to endure it.

Waiting anxiously until it was dark, Mama Wang asked to pass on the meal. Fortunately, it was a hot pot dish carefully prepared by Mama Cai, with delicious mutton soup base, freshly made beef balls, and thinly sliced ​​carp meat, tender green and juicy. vegetables and other side dishes, the most important thing is to have a bowl of seasoned salt dish full of peppers, Meiniang ate some meat dishes, let Wang Mama and Cuixi and other girls eat together, and took a notebook after the meal I read the idle books over and over again, and tried to pick up Cuixi's embroidery work to get two needles, but Xu Junying didn't come back until the time of Haishi, Mei Niang couldn't hold back, and asked Cuisi to find Bai Zhan, and arranged for him to take the lantern Go to Jinhua Courtyard to meet Hou Ye.

Xu Junying had dinner at the old lady of Jinhuayuan, and sat down to drink a few cups of tea as usual, except for himself, no other brothers came over tonight, the weather was too cold, so he told the ladies not to come.Without Mei Niang by her side, Zhuang Yulan sat with Xu Junying relaxed and at ease. The tea art was done smoothly, every time the camellia could be brewed. She smiled sweetly and said softly:
"Cousin Ying, is this tea delicious?"

Xu Junying smiled and said, "Tea is the best tribute, so it's naturally delicious!"

Zhuang Yulan pursed her mouth: "Cousin Ying said so, the good tea only needs to be brewed in a cup and served, and it is delicious!"

Xu Junying was stunned for a moment, then recalled: "Laner's tea art is superb, it's pleasing to the eye, and it's naturally more delicious to drink!"

Only then was Zhuang Yulan happy: "Cousin Ying praised you! This cup of tea soup is very good. It has peach blossoms. Cousin Ying, drink it!"

Xu Junying was about to take the teacup presented by Zhuang Yulan with both hands, when she heard the mother-in-law announce from the corridor:
"The East Garden of Tsinghua University is here to welcome you!"

Xu Junying stretched out the hand to pick up the tea and took it back: I took Baoju with me, why did Bai Zhan come again?What happened?

He got up and walked to the bed to bid farewell to the old lady: "Grandson is going back first!"

The old lady looked at him kindly: "Go, I'll be fine tomorrow, come over to have dinner with grandma!"

"Yes, grandson will come when he is free!"

Looking at Zhuang Yulan who was approaching, he said gently: "Lan Er, don't send it off, it's very cold outside!"

The old lady said: "Let her be sent to the corridor, how can it be broken by the wind!"

Ruixue brought the cloak, Zhuang Yulan took it, and put it on for Xu Junying herself, Xu Junying is tall, she had to get closer, raised her hands and raised her face to be able to tie his shackles, she is used to all kinds of bullying Luo satin is also good at tying bowknots, but now the two satin ties on Xu Junying's chest seem to be against her, slippery and unstable, no matter how fast they can be tied, Zhuang Yulan's breathing is slightly anxious, her face Showing a blush.

Xu Junying said: "It's easy to fasten it, it's fine, let me do it!"

Gently pulled the ribbon from her hand, three times and two times, crossed it with a slipknot, and it was done.

Zhuang Yulan didn't have time to get embarrassed, the maids drew up the warm curtains, Xu Junying stepped out of the room, and she hurriedly followed.

Standing on the porch, when the cold wind blew, Zhuang Yulan immediately yelled, Xu Junying told Ruixue, "Help Miss Biao in!"

Zhuang Yulan looked at him reluctantly, and said, "Cousin Ying will go home from the Yamen early tomorrow, Lan'er will play chess with you!"

Xu Junying nodded: "Okay, I will come when I have time, you go in and rest with the old lady!"

Zhuang Yulan watched him drift away under the guidance of Bao Ju and Bai Zhan, and the enthusiasm and joy in her heart were gradually replaced by neglect and worry: How long will this day last?When will she be able to hold his arm like Qin Meiniang, walk next to him all the way back to Tsinghua University, and live together with him?
Along the way, Bai Zhan reported Qin Boqing's affairs to Xu Junying.

Xu Junying's heart was like a mirror: Those twenty or so soldiers were selected by Baoju Jing. They were not incapable of trekking long distances, overcoming hardships and even fighting hard, but they just didn't learn how to serve others. , there is not a half a book boy and servants around, handed over to these wives, strong and energetic, and only want to do things quickly, swiftly, vigorously, Qin Boqing will not allow Qin Boqing to take a breather on the road, They are reckless, and they are not afraid of strong people cutting their way, bandits seeking wealth, and it is the end of the year, so they will have to travel day and night. It would be nice if Qin Boqing came back whole.

"Bao Ju, when you go over tomorrow, everyone who will accompany Uncle Qin to and from the trip will be rewarded with twenty army sticks. This is a kindness. If it is not at the end of the year, it will be fifty army sticks. You, take ten!"

Xu Junying's face was sullen, and Baoju answered honestly: "My subordinates understand!"
He and Bai Zhan were born servants of the Xu family. They followed Lord Hou since childhood, and Lord Hou took them to practice martial arts. He wanted them to learn excellent martial arts together.They are servants at home, but they are his personal bodyguards on the battlefield. They have made countless achievements and were rewarded by the court. Xu Junying has long since exempted their whole family from being slaves. With their fame, they can be casual generals in the army, but They were unwilling, and their parents and family members were unwilling to leave. They would rather live in Xu's mansion, follow Lord Hou, and be his long-term follower for the rest of his life.

This time he was careless. At that time, he didn't notice that there were no servants around the uncle. He had led that group of soldiers. He only knew that they were doing things very quickly. He actually forgot that this was not a war, but a follower. Not only did he have to protect Uncle, you have to serve him well.

His grandma's!Baoju cursed inwardly, take good care of those worthless bastards tomorrow, didn't he tell them clearly, didn't he tell them that this is Mrs. Hou's real brother, uncle of Mrs. Hou's son?I asked them to take good care of them, but such an accident happened!
These ten strokes of the army sticks are the grace of the Marquis. I don't know what kind of reward the eldest grandma and the young wife will give him!

Baoju couldn't help scratching his head, feeling that the cold wind was particularly biting at the moment, blowing along his neck and collar straight into his heart.
