Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 53

There were only Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao in the room, and the rest was Mama Wang beside Mrs. Qiao. When Yingxiu heard them mention this, she felt a little embarrassed, looked at Mrs. Qiao, and whispered, "It's still early Woolen cloth."

"Is it because my uncle's legs and feet are inconvenient?" Mrs. Qiao is so smart that she can naturally guess what their problem is.

"Xiu'er, you and my uncle have not consummated the marriage yet." Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao have been worried about this problem since Yingxiu got married. I don't know how serious Qi Haoming's leg is, although Jinze came back and said the problem It's not big, it can get better, but they are still worried that Yingxiu will be a widow in the future. Now that she is so coy, they have guessed it in their hearts.

Yingxiu nodded and quickly explained, "It's not that you can't do it, it's just that I want to wait until it's better..." After going through Princess Ding, to Mother Yang, and then to Qiao's house, Yingxiu never knew that such things between husband and wife are still going on. To get so many people to advise, even the experience of two lives is not so cheeky to say.

Mrs. Qiao, however, wanted Yingxiu to gain a firm foothold in the Qi residence as soon as possible. If according to what Jinze said, after a few years, my son-in-law's legs and feet will recover and he will be able to become an official. This status will also increase, because Yingxiu has not yet been born. No matter how safe it is to give birth to a child...

Back at Nanyang Hou's Mansion, after nightfall, Yingxiu put the wrung geothermal towel on Qi Haoming's leg, and gently pressed it for him. Xia Tian only wore thin obscene clothes, and with Yingxiu's movements, the neckline At the age when he was just full of energy and blood, Qi Haoming's breath became a little heavy when he pressed it to his thigh.

Yingxiu went to the bed and wrung it again, put it on him again, unintentionally loosened the collar on one side, Yingxiu glanced at the strangeness between his legs, and the thoughts of Mrs. Qiao in the afternoon flashed into her mind. what people say.

Could it be that she can't hold back like this all the time, Yingxiu moved her eyes away with difficulty, pressed the ground a little absent-mindedly, whether her legs are getting better, just like what Princess Ding said, she doesn't know how long she will have to wait.

Yingxiu turned over and got out of bed, put the towels and basins on the shelf, hesitated for a while beside the cabinet, quickly opened one of the doors, took a glance at the booklet inside, and saw the posture inside clearly. Blushing, he stuffed it back again, and returned to the bed with a piece of white brocade cloth.

Seeing that she made him move into the bed, Qi Haoming spread the white brocade cloth under his body, held her hand, his eyes were stained with deep meaning, "Lady, what are you going to do?"

Yingxiu opened the curtain and blew out the lights outside, and the room suddenly became dark, only the dim light from the lanterns lit in the corridor outside the house.

She couldn't see anything, Yingxiu felt a little more at ease, and sat across Qi Haoming's body in the dark, "Sir, Luo Ning in sister-in-law's room is so cute, why don't we come and have a baby too."

Shuri, Yingxiu, who always woke up earlier than him, was still sleeping peacefully in his arms, Qi Haoming hugged her a little tighter, Yingxiu sighed, and wrinkled slightly Brow did not wake up.

She was exhausted last night, when she straddled him, only her shy look remained in his eyes in the dark, and he could guess the purpose of raising the nanny borrowed by the princess, It's just that he didn't expect his little lady to actually do this.

Qing Bi at the door saw that it was Chen Shi and there was no movement inside, so she greeted Zi Yan to change the hot water again, and knocked on the door lightly, "Miss, Uncle, it's Chen Shi."

Yingxiu opened her eyes and saw that it was bright in the tent, but she was sore when she was about to get up, Qi Haoming pushed her back on the bed with one hand, "Take a rest, let Baoqin go to my mother and say something. "

"How can I do that? We've only been married for so long." Yingxiu was sore, and what Yang Nanny said was true, she must be sore and tired after this ceremony, so it shouldn't be too much, so she opened the tent and called Qingbi to come in and sit down On the bed, Yingxiu rested her feet on the soft cushion, beating gently.

Qingbi quickly came in with Ziyan, waited on Yingxiu and Qi Haoming to change their clothes, and when she went to the bed to tidy up, she saw the messy white brocade cloth, with obvious bloodstains on it. Putting away the white brocade cloth with vigor and putting it away, let Zi Yan change a new quilt together.

After Zhuo Ye pushed Qi Haoming out, Yingxiu asked Qingbi to pack the white brocade cloth and put it away.

"You tell this matter to Yan's mother, and no one else needs to say it." Yingxiu changed into a simple hairpin and put it on, and instructed Qingbi, who nodded, "What if Mrs. Hou asks?" .”

Twirling a little honey of the dew on her lips, Yingxiu wiped off the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and shook her head, "Mother won't ask for the time being, if she asks in the future, tell the truth."

Since Mrs. Hou and Lord Hou know that Qi Haoming can't consummate the house for the time being, as long as they don't see his good legs, they will always think so. Those who always pay attention to this Tingfengyuan will also think that they have been There is no round room.

Before she had time to eat breakfast, Yingxiu went to Mrs. Hou's place to ask for Ann. Nanyang Hou's mansion was not friendly, and she married Qi Haoming for more than a month, but Yingxiu had only met his brothers and sisters once. Qi Luhua, the only eldest daughter of the mansion, is in the Mood for Love, and in a few years it will be the age of marriage, and now Mrs. Hou often takes her out for a walk. In the big house, Qi Luqin, the eldest daughter of Aunt Hu's daughter, has been booked. I'm married, I'm going to get married next year.

The Hou's Mansion is so big, Yingxiu was not very close to them as the wife of the eldest son in her previous life, and now she doesn't need to deliberately get close to them. When she returned to Tingfeng Courtyard, she asked Ping'er to make some pastries, and took them to the study room. Ming was flipping through the account books sent by the housekeeper, and when he saw her coming, he asked Zhuo Ye to install another chair beside him, and pulled her to sit down.

"How come there are so many ledgers?" Yingxiu looked at the thick stack, and there were some circles drawn on the one Qi Haoming spread out.

"This is my mother's dowry shop and several farms. The Zhong family made a fortune by doing business. Later, in the grandfather's generation, some of the brothers began to go into official careers, so there are many dowries for my mother, especially the shop and the farm. In the past, my father asked Steward Zhao to take care of these things, but now that I am married, my father asked Steward Zhao to hand them over."

"Then, how did Steward Zhao do it so quickly?" Yingxiu roughly flipped through the book, not to mention the chaotic bookkeeping and inconsistency, so I'm really sorry.

"Naturally, he is straightforward, and the benefits he has gained from it in the past ten years are not limited to these." Qi Haoming circled some obvious loopholes, "Only in a drought year will the farm's harvest be so poor."

"What's wrong with this." Yingxiu looked at the pile of ledgers collected from the shop. Butler Zhao was doing such a good job here, and he didn't manage it strictly. Wouldn't the ones below be more fun, Lord Hou How could there be time to manage these things? If the Xu family intervened directly, it would be easy for people to say that they were jealous of their ex-wife's dowry. Therefore, over the years, these shops have paid less and pocketed more.

Mrs. Zhong's dowry to Mrs. Zhong included three farms, six other shops and two real estates. If they kept losing money, these shops should have closed long ago. The money handed over every year is only a little bit, but The seats in these six shops, even Yingxiu, who seldom goes out, knows that the business will not be bad.

"No need to be wrong, no one knows who changed the people in the shop, let all the shopkeepers come over tomorrow." Qi Haoming didn't even bother to look, so Zhuo Ye put them aside, "And those three Zhuangzi's stewards are also called over."

"My mother asked me to bring some medicine. She said that my father asked the imperial physician in the palace to prescribe it, which will help to activate the muscles and bones." Yingxiu saw that his brows were deeply furrowed, and stretched out her hand to press it for him. "Bring it directly from there." Yes, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Follow me to look at it tomorrow, and when the account book is clear, I will leave it to you." Qi Haoming pulled her hand down and put it in his arms, "In a few days, the mansion will ship ice Come in, this year's is also taken from the ice cave in Nanshan, where there is pure mountain water, which can be used to make tea when melted."

"At that time, use the set you gave me to cook a pot and try it." Yingxiu was tickled by him, struggled with a smile, took off her hand and picked up the pastry on the plate, "This is Ping'er's new pastry. You can try the cakes you made."

Qi Haoming opened his mouth and bit it, "That new tea is just right, by the way, when you went to pay your respects in the morning, Li Nanny from the old lady's yard came over and brought her granddaughter to say that she wanted to make this child Stay in our yard, see if you like it, if you like it, stay."

Yingxiu left the study room and asked Qingbi to bring the maid over. Shuhui was bored in that room long ago, but grandma said that the second grandma can't wander around without sending someone to look for her. Shuhui Looking at the smiling Yingxiu, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Second Grandma, you look really good-looking!"

Yingxiu was taken aback for a moment, she had never heard such a blunt compliment, and then she looked at Shuhui's untouched eyes, as pure as if she had just been washed in clean water, she understood a little bit, Probing, "Shuhui, do you know what Mother Li asked you to do here?"

"Grandma asked me to come here, saying that she wanted me to take good care of the second mistress and the second young master, but Shuhui is stupid and only knows how to light fires, and even the mother in the kitchen said that I can't do anything." Yingxiu saw her clenched her hands tightly. The hands in front seemed to be still wrapped in white cloth, let Qingbi go over to take a look, it seemed that they had been scratched by something, and there was a trace of blood.

No maidservant in the Nanyang Hou's mansion would answer questions like this. This Shuhui is obviously an idiot. With some kindness of serving the old lady in the past, he sent her to Tingfeng Courtyard to serve her.

"Then do you know what to do when you come to Tingfengyuan?"

"I know, I can help the second young master and second grandma to get the food boxes in the kitchen. Grandma said that I will give this as a gift, and I won't spill any soup." Shuhui tilted her head and thought for a long time, and suddenly her face turned pale With a flash of a smile, he said loudly.

Yingxiu looked at her proud look, and smiled, "Okay then, you can follow Miss Ping'er from Tingfengyuan." She signaled Qingbi to take her down, but Shuhui suddenly knelt down and pointed at Yingxiu. He kowtowed his head firmly three times, and there was a muffled sound when he knocked on the bluestone slab. When he got up, there was a bruise on his forehead, and he smiled foolishly, so he followed Qingbi and left.
