entered his own yard, but Hao Cheng couldn't find anyone, and when he asked his subordinates, he didn't know anything. only said that Zhengjun had just gone out, what he went out for, who he went out with, where he went, and when he came back, they couldn't answer a word one by one.

Seeing that they really don't know, Hao Cheng can't force people to talk nonsense. asked someone to find a housekeeper to come over, compared to those people in the house, the housekeeper is still more reliable: "Zhengjun has not left the house, he will come back in a while, you can wait with peace of mind." ”

Hao Cheng reluctantly pressed the worry in his heart, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone into the bedroom, and finished writing the rough outline of the new book, and half of the detailed outline.

Originally, she would come back from leave, and one goal was to write this outline.

If Jiang Mengzhen comes back later, she will definitely accompany her husband for the first anniversary, and it is very likely that she will not have time to care about this matter in the next few days.

It stands to reason that now that Jiang Mengzhen is not here, she should calm down and splash ink, but because she is worried about the safety of her husband and children, she writes a few words on the paper with a pen, and she can't write it anymore anyway.

After sitting in her chair for a few moments, she got up irritably. Pacing back and forth in the study, he pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside.

Probably because the house was so well insulated that there was nothing in the room except the sound of one's own breathing and the sound of tapping from pacing.

Hao Cheng couldn't hold it back, so he pushed open the window again, the fragrance of wild flowers under the corner of the wall was pushed in by the gentle breeze, and the courtyard was already lit up, but no one moved, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

She sat back in her chair and tried to write, but her hand hung in the air, and only large drops of ink fell on the snow-white paper, smearing a black mark on the paper.

She couldn't help but have an anxious look on her face, and at this time, Zhu Qing's voice came from the courtyard gate: "Master, you take it easy, there are steps below!" ”

There is only one person who can be called the master by Zhuqing. Hao Cheng was overjoyed, put down the pen in his hand, pushed open the door and rushed to the courtyard.

She didn't take two steps, and when she really saw Jiang Mengzhen coming in from the courtyard gate, he pursed his lips, and his expression looked a little uneasy.

Zhu Qing carefully supported him on the side, for fear that he would accidentally fall.

Hao Cheng hurriedly quickened his pace and greeted him. She grabbed Jiang Mengzhen's other side and asked like a cannon: "Where did you just go?" Why don't you say a word to the housekeeper? I'm going to die of worry! ”

The corners of Jiang Mengzhen's lips curled upward, barely outlining the arc of a smile, and his voice was a little hoarse: "It's nothing, I just went out for a walk." ”

"Let's go. How to walk for so long? I've been waiting here for an hour. Hearing him say this, Hao Cheng was even more uneasy, the pregnant husband really needs to exercise, but he can't exercise too much.

And there's one more thing she's very concerned about: "What's wrong with your throat?" That's not how you sound in the morning. Are you sick? ”

Jiang Mengzhen unconsciously clenched her hand and said comfortingly: "It's nothing, it's just that I just talked too much, just drink some tea to moisten my throat." ”

Hao Cheng clenched Jiang Mengzhen's hand and said busily: "Then don't talk yet, let's go back and drink tea to moisten our throats first." ”

When he sat on the chair, Hao Cheng first asked Jiang Mengzhen to do a good job, then poured water for him, took a sip to test the temperature of the water, and blew the water to cool it before bringing the cup to Jiang Mengzhen.

Originally, Jiang Mengzhen wanted to drink strong tea every time, but for the sake of the child in his belly, he only dared to drink bland and tasteless white water.

Jiang Mengzhen looked at the clear and pure white water in the bone china cup, frowned, and drank it all in one gulp. Hao Cheng poured him a few more cups in a row, and did not stop until Jiang Mengzhen waved his hand to signal that she was not thirsty.

When he moistened his throat, he asked, "Why did my wife come back so early today?" According to the past, Hao Cheng would not be able to return home until at least three o'clock in the hour, but it was not yet time for lunch.

As he spoke, he made another gesture to signal Zhu Qing to go out, and the latter immediately took the other servants out with him, and closed the door softly as he left.

Hao Cheng didn't notice this, she responded: "I haven't been able to come back on the previous few days off, this time I went to the household department to take leave, and I don't need to go to the Hanlin Academy these days." There's nothing to do with the horizontal and vertical.,I'll be back after the handover today.。 ”

When Zhuqing went out, she was turning her back to go to the box that was resting on the shelf. When she turned around, she found that the room was completely quiet, and only their wives and husbands were left.

It's a little weird, but it's just a good thing to save her. She put the box on the table and pushed it in front of Jiang Mengzhen: "This is something for you." ”

Hao Cheng gave Jiang Mengzhen the habit of coming out, and if he gave him anything, he must insist that he dismantle it in person. This time, he also subconsciously took the box and asked, "What is it?" He began to unpack the box.

However, this time, Hao Cheng did not reply to words like "You will know when you open it", but pressed the box with his hand, "You say first, what day it is today, and you can only open the gift if you guess it." ”

"What day?" Jiang Mengzhen was stunned for a moment, and meditated in his heart, it was not Hao Cheng's birthday, nor his birthday, nor was it a festival.

He looked at Hao Cheng's face and asked tentatively: "Is it the Gengzi day of Yiwei month?" ”

Hao Cheng shook his head, and he said again: "I remember, it's the second uncle's birthday, but the housekeeper should have given the gift for these things." ”

Hao Cheng still shook his head: "If it's the second uncle's birthday, what should I do with your gift?" ”

Jiang Mengzhen guessed a few, all of them were wrong, Hao Cheng said: "It's not those, today of the year, have you forgotten what we did?" ”

A year ago, Jiang Mengzhen calculated that it was the day of the first day of the month, the day of the first day of the first day, how could he forget. After reacting, he looked a little apprehensive: "I didn't know that I was going to give a gift on this day, I didn't prepare it, if I prepare it now, is it still too late?" ”

In the past, when he dealt with the righteous monarchs of those powerful families in the capital, many people always wanted to show off their wife's kindness to them, but he had never heard of such a day to be specially commemorated.

Seeing him frowning, Hao Cheng knew that he wanted to be crooked, and the pregnant husband was the most taboo to be cranky, Hao Cheng hurriedly said: "I'm not angry, mainly because I think this day is very special for us, and it is worth remembering, just like the birth of the baby, we have to celebrate her birthday every year." There may not be such a custom here, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a gift. ”

The people of the Jin Kingdom pay great attention to traditional customs and festivals, but it is true that no one will have a commemorative day such as the 100th day of acquaintance, the first kiss day, and the first xx day.

Jiang Mengzhen has always been thoughtful, even if he is negligent, whatever he values, the conscientious housekeeper Li will definitely remind him in time, and Hao Cheng will not come up with any thoughts such as his husband not paying attention to her.

Jiang Mengzhen felt guilty: "It's me who is wrong, the work in this area is not meticulous enough, I will definitely not forget it next time." "Another day, he still has to give the gift to Hao Cheng to make up for it.

Seeing his depressed expression, Hao Cheng hurriedly sent his hand away and urged him: "In short, I gave you a gift in the hope that my husband would be happy, if you are not happy, then what's the point of me giving this gift." Hurry up and open the box and take a look. ”

Jiang Mengzhen opened the gift, and there were two crystal dolls lying in the box, wearing bright red clothes, and the middle of the doll was connected by a belt with a big red flower. The clothes and saffron were made of silk, and the appearance of the doll was eighty percent similar to the appearance of the two of them, which was very lifelike, but the body in the clothes was relatively simple.

Hao Cheng asked him a little nervously, "Do you like it?" She also bought hairpins for Jiang Mengzhen on weekdays, and it was actually okay to send those jewelry on her wedding anniversary, but there was nothing Jiang Mengzhen liked in their family, and she saved up money to buy this situation, and it would be too perfunctory to give that one.

Jiang Mengzhen nodded: "I like it very much, is this doll carved by his wife?" He liked everything Hao Cheng sent, not to mention that this crystal doll was carved so lifelike, and he thought about it at first glance.

Hao Cheng had a little shame on his face: "I carved it, and the carving was not very good, and it didn't take much effort." The clothes are made of Yuxiangyuan, and the box is also from its family. ”

Originally, Jiang Mengzhen also had a shop that made clothes under his name, but if Jiang Mengzhen knew in advance, there would be no surprise.

Hearing that she sent the clothes made by Yuxiangyuan, Jiang Mengzhen looked at the body of the doll, fortunately it was not as fine as on the face, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The wife has done a good job, you have to let me do it, let alone a doll, I may not even be able to carve a watermelon, not to mention that this is carved by the wife herself, the gift does not care whether it is expensive or not, it is rare to have a heart." ”

Seeing that he liked it, Hao Cheng's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his heart was also relaxed, and as soon as the conversation changed, the topic turned to Jiang Mengzhen's previous outing: "When I came, I happened to see Zhu Qing holding a stack of papers in his hand, you have only been out for so long, is it for this?" ”

The smile on Jiang Mengzhen's face froze, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, he was silent for a long time, and said in a quiet tone: "Today was originally a happy day, I don't want to say it." But since you asked, I won't hide it from you. Didn't the wife go to Dali Temple to deal with the affairs of the envoy group before, and was slighted by a woman? ”

mentioned that, Hao Cheng remembered the wet kiss, although the other party's lips were very soft and did not have a pig face, she still subconsciously felt a little disgusted: "Why did you suddenly mention that, didn't we say that we would not mention her?" ”

"I want to be reassured, but do you know who she is?"

Hao Cheng followed his words and asked, "Then what is her identity?" ”

"He is not a minister of the envoy group, but the prince of the empire on which the moon never sets, Louis? Hilt, second-order heir to the Empire on which the moon never sets. ”

"That should be for safety, since she deliberately concealed it, she won't reveal her identity if she thinks about it, so let's just not provoke it." Hao Cheng reacted in hindsight, with a bit of hesitation in his tone, "The prince who never sets the moon should be a woman, and the princess is a man, right?" ”

Jiang Mengzhen's face turned blue and said, "What do you say?" 166 Reading Network
