Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 33

It was already evening when she returned to Shen's mansion, the carriage came all the way from the market, Yingxiu had already seen the signs of fallen leaves, and this autumn had quietly arrived before she knew it.

Mrs. Qiao asked Yingxiu to bring back a lot of things, most of which were food. Yingxiu asked Baoqin to pack them up, and she brought some to Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Li.

After kneeling down last time, Mrs. Shen has become more and more lukewarm towards Yingxiu, and she is also happy and at ease, which is better than Mrs. Shen's constant pressure on her. Shen Yingyun's attic is officially completed, Yingxiu When he entered, Mrs. Li was discussing with Mrs. Shen what to buy for storage.

Coming out of Mrs. Shen's courtyard, the sky was already getting dark. Yingxiu thought back to Li's vague temptation to marry back to Chenzhou?Is this another way?

The Shen family in the capital is only Shen Heye, and most of the relatives are from Chenzhou's hometown. Among the many relatives, Shen Heye is the most promising one. Seeing that Yingxiu's age is only one year behind her own daughter, Mrs. Li immediately thought of her natal family .

In recent years, because of Uncle Shen's business, Li's natal family has also prospered. Once this person is rich, it is easy for Xiao to think of some things that he had never dared to think of before, such as Li's marriage with the Kangping Palace by chance. Dear.

This marriage with Kangping Prince's Mansion gave Li's confidence even more. Since her daughter can marry into Kangping Prince's Mansion, why can't her own natal family marry a lady from an official family?

Yingxiu laughed at her aunt's thoughts, even if Mrs. Shen agreed, her father would never agree to this muddled marriage...

But Yingxiu underestimated Li's willpower. After solving her daughter's marriage, Qi Rui's marriage was put on the table. Compared with picking a son-in-law, picking a daughter-in-law is more important. I can't help finding any girl to come in. It's better to go to Chenzhou and find a family to bring over. This plan, Li Shi's thoughts moved to Yingxiu again, saying that she wanted to bring Yingxiu with her. Embroider a piece and go back to my hometown to have a look, and come back next year when Yingyun gets married.

Mrs. Shen was a little moved, but she was dismissed when she mentioned it to Shen Heye, "Sister-in-law is hot on one side, and you are also hot on the other, madam. How can Yingxiu go back to Chenzhou with sister-in-law? She is a girl who hasn't talked about marriage yet. How can you go back with them!"

Mrs. Shen felt aggrieved when she heard his unkind tone, "Sister-in-law, why can't we go back together? We may not have gone back to our hometown in Chenzhou for many years. It would be good to let Yingxiu go to worship for us. We can't say Master, when you become an official in the capital, you forget about those relatives in your hometown."

"Then let Yinghui follow. It's better not to go back at Yingxiu's age, lest Chenzhou think that we have to choose a marriage for Xiu'er in her hometown." Madam Shen's expression changed slightly, as if Shen Heye had guessed what was on her mind. , smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand to pinch his shoulders, "How could this be, how could this Xiu'er marry to Chenzhou? Hui'er is still young and doesn't know the rules, so I'm afraid it would be irritating to go there."

"After this year, I will be nine years old, not too young. If I really have this kind of filial piety to go back, I will let Huier prepare to go back with my sister-in-law. I haven't gone back to Chenzhou for many years, and I don't remember what it was like. Shen Heye sighed, but did not see the changing expression of Mrs. Shen behind her.

"In this case, forget it. Huier is ignorant. If we offend the elders, there is no use for us to worry here." Seeing what she said, Shen Heye nodded, "What you said makes sense, let's wait a little longer. Let's go back to Chenzhou to visit relatives."

The next day, Mrs. Shen told Mrs. Li what Shen Heye had said, and Mrs. Li felt very sorry, "My little nephew is very handsome. I think the young master of the Qiao family I saw that day is not as good as my nephew."

Although Mrs. Shen held her breath in her heart, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching when Li Shi praised her natal family so much, "Sister-in-law, when will you leave for Chenzhou, so I can prepare some things for you to take back. "

Mrs. Li waved his hand, "We're leaving tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so you don't need to bring it. I don't think the things you have here are as useful as those from Chenzhou, and the food is not good enough. We have money, so we can buy it ourselves."

Mrs. Shen sent Mrs. Li out with a sullen expression, then turned around and asked the mother beside her, "Auntie Kong, how is everything?"

"Returning to Madam, everything is fine with Aunt Kong, and Aunt Wei still often goes there to talk to Aunt Kong." Madam Shen narrowed her eyes and looked at the sky outside the corridor, "Miss San is not young anymore, it's time for a Independent yard."

The woman raised her head for a moment, then said yes...

At the end of October, the capital became lively again. On the [-]th day, the fourth prince, Su Kun, returned to the court with his troops. The emperor, Longyan Dayue, immediately named his son Dingwang and gave him a house and land.

Only two days after the banquet in the palace, Su Kun went to see Qi Haoming in Nanyanghou's mansion, but rejected Nanyang Hou's invitation to host a banquet, Su Kun went directly to Qi Haoming's Tingfeng Courtyard, where Qi Haoming happened to be in the courtyard Drink tea in the pavilion.

"Boy, I haven't seen you for a few years. How did you grow so fast!" Su Kun patted Qi Haoming on the shoulder. He went to war and didn't come back for four years. Qi Haoming was only this old when he left. I don't know each other anymore.

"Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have become more and more calm." Qi Haoming looked at the stubble on his face with a smile, Su Kun subconsciously touched it, and smiled, "You don't know that, the barbarian just I like people like me, their old men, those with beards are men, and those without beards are children with no hair!"

Four years of life in the frontier made Su Kun's temperament much calmer, "Then fourth brother, you didn't bring back a few beautiful barbarian girls?"

"No, your sister-in-law should punish me to kneel down, but the patriarch of the barbarian tribe paid tribute to some beauties who entered the palace one step ahead of me." If it is said that among the people Qi Haoming admired in his life, Su Kun's wife Mu Ranzheng, the eldest daughter of Mu Guogong's mansion, is one of them. She was newly married for less than half a year, and her husband was about to go to war. "Come back alive, or I will remarry with the child and all your property!"

In the past four years, due to frequent border wars, Su Kun has never been back. Mu Ranzheng has to take care of the entire Fourth Prince's Mansion and teach the children, but Qi Haoming has never seen a trace of displeasure on her face. , Occasionally instead of Su Kun, Mu Ranzheng came to see his worried brother, and Mu Ranzheng would reveal some thoughts about her husband.

"You should spend more time with your sister-in-law when you come back this time. She has suffered enough in these years." Su Kun nodded, and a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes. It is precisely because he has his greatest spiritual support here in the capital that he can There are no worries in the frontier. If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for.

"Come back this time, I brought you two people." After drinking tea for a while, Su Kun suddenly said seriously, and Qi Haoming understood, "Let's go in and talk."

Qi Haoming looked at two men and a woman in different clothes in front of him, "Fourth brother, where did you bring this back?"

"In these years, I have also seen the strange fighting power of the barbarians, and I have also seen their unique medical skills. Brother, do you know Gu poison?" Su Kun was very proud of the man and woman he brought, "In the first year, we ate It’s a terrible loss for them. I said that people who grew up eating five grains, it doesn’t matter how big they are like barbarians. Some people are especially good at fighting. Later, I learned that those people were planted with strange Gu. Unleash their potential."

Hearing what Su Kun said, Qi Haoming already felt extremely dangerous, and subconsciously glanced at the man and woman, "Then these two?"

"Don't worry, if the barbarians were all masters like this, we would have lost a long time ago. This group of people has been passed down from generation to generation and lives in the deep mountains and old forests. The whole clan is only a few hundred, and only a dozen or so of the hundreds of people understand this. Gu, the rest of the people are all excellent medical skills. They have their beliefs. No matter what happens, the skills passed down from generation to generation are first not to be passed on to the outside world. Second, the clansmen are not allowed to go out of the valley at will. To God's punishment."

Qi Haoming felt a little mysterious when he heard it, the world is so big, there are really no wonders, "Fourth brother, do these two people already belong to you and are used by you?"

Su Kun smiled and shook his head, "How could I have such a great ability to let them be used by me, they belong to no one, but to God, I just rescued a member of their clan who was injured by a wild beast at the entrance of the valley by chance , That's why I asked them to see a doctor for you, and they will go back immediately after watching."

Qi Haoming looked at the two people standing motionless in front of him, and smiled kindly, "Zhuo Ye, go and prepare some food to entertain the guests."

"No, they don't eat any outside food." Su Kun stopped Zhuo Ye from going out, and said a series of strange words to the two people. One of the men quickly opened a cloth bag on his waist and pointed at Qi Hao. Ming said a few words.

"He asked you to take off your shoes and let him take a look at your legs." The man neatly spread out the cloth bag on the table, inside was a row of knives of different sizes, behind Qi Haoming Zhuo Ye immediately froze a little, and saw that the man directly took one of the knives and lifted his robe, and the knife cut his knees, and the trouser legs were separated.

Looking at Qi Haoming's atrophied leg, which had been immobile for a long time, the man frowned, looked carefully, and said a few words to the woman behind him.

The woman rolled down a small bamboo tube from her sleeve and handed it to the man. After the man opened it, he clasped it in his palm, and a milky-white worm fell out. There were two golden spots on the top of the worm's head. The wriggling was very uncomfortable. Qi Haoming stopped Zhuo Ye's actions, even if he was not sure, he would try, not to mention the people brought by the fourth brother, if they were useless, Su Kun would never travel all the way to invite them.

Seeing their fear, the man suddenly grinned at Qi Haoming, patted his leg to signal him not to be afraid, pulled out a relatively small knife, and the man quickly slashed at Qi Haoming's knee. At once, the worm was brought close to the wound, before the blood remained, the worm wriggled its small body and squeezed into Qi Haoming's leg under their gaze.

He didn't feel any pain, he only saw that the skin rose and fell with the worm's arching and arching, and a nausea rose up in his stomach for no reason, Qi Haoming only felt a chill all over his body, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak .

Zhuo Ye who was behind him just barely drew his sword, if the young master made a slight mistake, he would immediately kill the two people in front of him.

The worm seemed to wander around Qi Haoming's body in a vicious way, about half a stick of incense passed, the man cut his finger and squeezed some blood close to Qi Haoming's wound, not long after, The worm came back, and the man immediately put the worm into the small bamboo tube, fastened it to the white cloth spread out on the side, and dripped a drop of his own blood on one end of the white cloth.

Qi Haoming took a closer look and found that the color of the worm turned black. Then, Qi Haoming saw that the little fat worm that had already drank his blood vomited near the drop of blood...
