Chapter 142: The Truth
Summer, it is the rainy season, if you are unlucky, catch the heavy rain all the way, the journey will be longer than expected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoDuring the journey, he could only be in the carriage, and there was no one to speak, Mo Xiaohe relied on painting and reading books to pass the time.
The story of the book is never inseparable from the routine, it is the same, after reading the beginning, you can guess the end, after she rummaged through, she opened the car window to look at the scenery, the scenery of the official road has hardly changed, and the rest of the time, Mo Xiaohe used it to be in a daze.
After breakfast, she went back to bed to make up for sleep, no one disturbed her, and slept until noon, when the rain outside the window was dripping and had not stopped.
The inner room was dim, an oil lamp was lit, and Gu Zheng was holding a book, sitting by the lamp and reading it.
Mo Xiaohe quietly got out of bed and walked behind her husband, and found that he was reading her boring scripts to pass the time.
"Awake?"
Hearing the movement behind him, Gu Zheng turned his head and looked at Mo Xiaohe's complexion carefully, he didn't get enough sleep in the morning, his face was pale, and now he was bloody, and he was much ruddy.
Thinking of the aphrodisiac incense, he lowered his face, he didn't remember, there was that kind of indiscriminate thing, if he was not strong in that aspect, he would pay attention to improving it, although it hit his male self-esteem very much, but as long as the incense containing aphrodisiac ingredients was more or less poisonous.
"Husband...... Not so. ā
Mo Xiaohe covered her face, very embarrassed, curiosity killed the cat, she just wanted to test it, what is it like to take the initiative to pounce, and the aphrodisiac incense is just to strengthen her courage, and she doesn't believe that there is such a thing, so she hasn't taken it seriously.
Mother-in-law Gu said that this spice comes from a small country in the south, which is extremely precious and rare, and it is natural for husband and wife to have sex, and they can use it once in a while to enhance their feelings with each other.
It's good now, Gu Zheng misunderstood that he thought he couldn't do it, Mo Xiaohe simply wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and felt that he was too stupid.
"How's that? Where did you get such a ninth-rate thing? ā
Gu Zheng's first suspicion is Xu Yanhui, that person is not a man, a woman is not a woman, it is strange, as a thief, it is not strange to have such a stock in his hand.
"Am I telling the truth, or am I lying?"
Mo Xiaohe blinked innocently, thinking in his heart whether to lie or tell the truth. If she lies, there is a risk of being exposed, if she is honest, when it comes to Gu's, she is afraid that her husband will not believe it, or she will have any misunderstanding about her mother-in-law Gu.
It is true that Gu's water-based Yanghua made a big mistake, but as a mother-in-law, Gu's was tolerant enough, she didn't put eyeliner next to Mo Xiaohe, nor did she send her concubine and aunt, and before she left, she sent things and silver.
"Truth."
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, meaning, do you still need to ask this? If he neglects his wife because he is in a hurry, he can increase the frequency and make sex between husband and wife more frequent.
"It was given by my mother-in-law before leaving."
Mo Xiaohe didn't use her mother's name, otherwise her mother Li would have to carry this black pot.
"My mother-in-law is kind, let me keep it quietly to enhance my feelings, I made a ghost, so I accepted it."
Seeing her husband's black face, Mo Xiaohe hurriedly explained, and finally gritted her teeth and confessed leniently, she just wanted to taste the taste of taking the initiative to pounce on Gu Zheng, and every time she followed his rhythm, she wanted to seek excitement.
Perhaps, this kind of behavior, in the era of closed-mindedness, will be considered unruly, but Mo Xiaohe can't care about so much, anyway, she said what she should say.
"No need for this."
Gu Zheng looked at his mother, there was no expression on his face, and the scar on his face looked very serious.
"Yes, husband, this thing is harmful, so you won't need it in the future."
Mo Xiaohe's chick pecked rice, and after the aphrodisiac, her husband was more courageous than before, and she couldn't stop it all night, and she couldn't stand it physically, and the scars on her body hinted at her, how intense they were last night.
Fortunately, it was a rainy night, and there were a few thunderclaps from time to time, and the sound of the rain hitting the house covered her moaning, otherwise in the middle of the night, a little movement would have been transmitted far away, and her shouts could be heard up and down the inn without sound.
"I mean, no aphrodisiac, tonight, you're on it."
Gu Zheng added that as a husband, he should meet all the requirements of the lady, it is rare that Mo Xiaohe wants to take the initiative, he must fully cooperate, and he also wants to see how she takes the initiative.
"You ......"
Thinking that there was a storm, from lightning and thunder to a clear sky in a blink of an eye, Mo Xiaohe looked at the bronze mirror, looked at the bruises on her neck, and silently held back her tears, she still wanted to rest for a few days.
At dusk, after the rain, the sky cleared, and a seven-colored rainbow hung in the sky.
After deliberation, it was decided that it would be better to take a little longer before it got dark to catch up with the planned trip.
At dinner in a noodle restaurant next to it, everyone ordered a bowl of noodles with braised pork pieces, these men ate a lot of food, and the soup in it was drunk.
Mo Xiaohe tidied up a little, stuffed the incense used for aphrodisiac into the corner, and could only stay in the carriage tonight, nothing should happen.
After the rain, the air is refreshing, soothing the heat, along the way, you can see passing caravans everywhere, men sit on the goods, drink wine, chat hotly, that is called a lively.
On the way out of the city, his caravan met a caravan transporting grain and rice. During the Taiping period, the price of grain and rice was stable, and the old rice they transported was also ordinary brown rice, which was cheaper than new rice, two cents per catty.
Except for Dayue Kyoto, the small city near the south is about the same as Dawu, but the standard of living is different, the same ordinary people, Dawu people pay more attention to pleasure, with silver must be delicious and drinkable, and Dayue people generally want to save money, reluctant to spend money on food and clothing.
The two convoys walked together for an hour, and it was not until it was almost dark that the convoy carrying grain and rice went down at the fork in the road, and they wanted to spend the night in a nearby village, but they chose to go straight and continue on their way.
The night breeze was cool, mixed with the fragrance of moist earth, Mo Xiaohe opened the car window and looked at the woods in the distance, the sunset, the last trace of the sunset on the horizon, was about to disappear, slowly entering the night.
Not far away, a woman approached with a son and a daughter, and at the moment when the carriage passed by them, the woman suddenly fell on her back and fainted.
"Mother, mother, wake up!"
The woman's children are not big, about four or five years old, still ignorant, with large patches stacked on top of each other, looking at the family of three, obviously not living well, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and malnutrition.
The woman who fainted, her face was yellow and black, as if she had been working in the fields all year round, and she seemed to be terminally ill, but according to past experience, Mo Xiaohe was really skeptical, she didn't want to be kind anymore, and finally made a fuss.
"Woo, mother!"
The brother and sister did not know how to ask for help from passers-by, but only cried, and the two gathered around the woman, and learned to pinch people, but unfortunately the woman lay there, motionless.
"What's the situation, is it touching porcelain?"
No wonder Mo Xiaohe was suspicious, just as the carriage was about to pass, the woman fainted, and the time of fainting was too coincidental, so she had to be suspicious.
"In this way, you get up, don't delay our journey, how much money does it cost, you say, let's listen."
Mo Xiaohe sighed, destroying wealth and eliminating disasters, it is useless to talk more, this kind of single-handedly is the most difficult to deal with, she is not a ruthless person, if she only gives a small amount of money, she should accumulate virtue and do good.
However, the phrase was repeated several times, and the woman still did not wake up.
Seeing this, Feng took out a small tea bowl from the carriage, poured a glass of water, poured it into the corner of the woman's chapped mouth, and helped the two brothers and sisters pinch the person together, and it took about a quarter of an hour for the woman to wake up.
"Big sister, what's the matter?"
Feng is a warm-hearted person, seeing that the sky is dark, a woman with two babies, it is not safe to walk on the official road, there is a small village in front, it is best to find a family to spend the night, immediately reach out and see the five fingers, one big and two small, it is not good to walk at night.
"Sister, thank you......"
The woman's eyes were a little glazed, and she touched the faces of her children with her hands, and helped them wipe their tears with the back of her hands.
"Are you hungry and want something to eat?"
Feng sighed, she had to settle down before she could continue to hurry, she took the initiative to say, "Why don't you follow the caravan first, there is a village in front, just along the way, and I will bring it to you." ā
Mo Xiaohe also means this, after dark, in the wilderness, the woman with her children has nowhere to go, she is nosy all the way, and it is not bad this time.
"Two children, they haven't eaten for a day."
The woman said and shed tears, because she was incapable of protecting her children and let them suffer with her. Her family lives in a village in a county under the trade city, and last year, her man went to work in the town, and the house collapsed and was buried inside, so he left so suddenly.
After her husband went, her mother's brother and sister-in-law came to the door, insisting that she remarry, and sold a pair of children, saying that the children were all drag oil bottles, and it happened that the big families in the town wanted the girl and the boy to be a maid, saying that they were trained since childhood, and they could be loyal in the future.
There is no one in his husband's family, all the land and property are occupied by his mother's brother, and he has to force her to marry an old man who is about to reach the age of sixties, she is cowardly, and this is the first time to fight for her children.
"Why is there such a thing? Lawless, you should go to the yamen to complain, the official will not care! ā
After Feng Shi heard this, he was also angry, the woman's mother's family is really jackals, tigers and leopards, all of them are the best, as a widow, if she can't stand up to the door, she has a soft temperament, and she will only be bullied.
Mo Xiaohe shook his head and sighed, the Feng family and they are all in Luzhou, and the Luzhou Wei Governor is a good official who loves the people like a son, so he will naturally take care of it, it does not mean that other city parents and officials will be the same, there is a way, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, and in the end, he still has to rely on himself.
The woman wiped her tears and shook her head, she just couldn't give up, for this, her mother was about to cry and blind, if she resisted, her mother would be abused by her sister-in-law, and it would be too difficult.
