Extra nine

Xia Shuanghan, who took out the folded oilcloth from the cloth bag he was carrying on his back and spread it on the ground, then sat back to back on the oilcloth with Lu Shaoyun, took out the water bladder filled with boiling water that had only been boiled before going up the mountain, and then ate with him a few small snacks they brought up the mountain as snacks, including cloud cakes.

"I'm sorry, but if I don't get hurt, we can both go back to the warm and tidy inn instead of spending the night in this hole."

"Say what? It's not something you want to get hurt, so why should you apologize to me for something like this? Xia Shuanghan, who thought that spending the night with Lu Shaoyun in the pit was not a bad thing, joked with him in order to liven up the atmosphere: "Moreover, don't you think it's a good thing for you to spend the night here with me with you?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, a good thing indeed. Hearing Xia Shuanghan's words, Lu Shaoyun couldn't help but smile: "After all, if it weren't for the current situation, I would have to stay in a separate room with you when I returned to the post station!" ”

Winter nights come early, and it's not a sunny day. So, just after two o'clock, the pit hidden under the ground was completely plunged into the darkness where the fingers could not be seen.

"Two people sleeping in such an environment, how to sleep warmer, I believe you don't need me to say this, you should know, right?"

After nightfall, they still maintained a back-to-back posture and chatted with Lu Shaoyun for a long time, judging that it was late according to their sleepiness, they should go to bed in the summer frost and cold, relying on the darkness to cover the redness of their faces, and trying their best to maintain a calm and steady tone.

"yes, I know." Smoothly took off his robe and let Xia Shuanghan, who also took off his coat, sit sideways in his arms Lu Shaoyun, and then after hugging the lover in his arms, the coats of the two people were overlapped and wrapped back on himself and Xia Shuanghan.

Snuggled up to Lu Shaoyun's chest and listened to his "plopping" heartbeat, Xia Shuanghan curled up his legs and stretched out his arms to wrap around Lu Shaoyun's waist, only feeling that they were more intimate now than when they spent the night together in the Xia family's boudoir.

Lu Shaoyun, who lifted his left leg and crossed his right leg, tried his best to condense the heat around his body, and originally put forward the idea that he should use his luck to generate heat and help Xia Shuanghan keep warm. It's just that when he just made the proposal, Xia Shuanghan rejected him categorically.

"Meditate all night? You're not afraid of running out of energy, I'm worried about your body! You save me obediently! If you don't have a good rest and don't have the strength to climb out tomorrow with my palm, then wouldn't it be pointless for us to stay here tonight? ”

"Frost ......" hugged Xia Shuanghan who was attached to his chest in his arms, and only felt that her care for him was always so intimate and sweet, Lu Shaoyun said: "After these days of getting along, I think you must have accepted me as your future husband, so, when are you going to nod and give a letter of approval, so that I can go back to prepare for the dowry?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, we Rong men and women always have to give each other privately for half a year to a year before they formally conclude a marriage relationship. You see, you and I have known each other for less than a month, so it's too early to mention the date of marriage. ”

"Is it too early for you? But it's not early for me! Gently resting his chin on the top of his lover's lightly scented hair, only by marrying Xia Shuanghan into the house as soon as possible can he forget the nightmare of parting in his previous life as soon as possible, Lu Shaoyun said: "You promise me as soon as possible, and then we will get married when the spring flowers bloom, isn't this good?" ”

"You let me think about it for a while! After all, I never thought that I would marry you in the future over the years, so let me get used to it again, and then marry you, okay? Questioning the question, he raised his head, and felt the summer frost that pecked Lu Shaoyun's chin in the dark, only feeling that his "bloody" reward would definitely be able to appease Lu Shaoyun.

However, although for the unmarried Xia Shuanghan, kissing Lu Shaoyun's chin is already a bloody investment. But for Lu Shaoyun, who is completely a married man from the inside, it is too much of a dragonfly.

"It's too insincere to kiss on the chin, right? If you don't give me a good kiss, how can you comfort my heart, which has been rejected by you again and again? ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pinched Xia Shuanghan's chin, and without waiting for her to express any opinions, Lu Shaoyun, who lowered her head at the moment when she was forced to raise her head, immediately pasted those two warm and tender lips.

"......" was suddenly lifted his chin, and he didn't react at all Lu Shaoyun was kissed directly by Xia Shuanghan who wanted to do something, even though his face was red and his ears were red, and his whole body was stiff. This, this, this...... I was kissed by Lu Tingxuan? Are we developing a little too fast? ”

Although he couldn't hear Xia Shuanghan's silent sigh in his heart, Lu Shaoyun, who could clearly feel the stiffness of her body, originally planned to lick open a gap and attack inside after sticking it slightly to make her get used to it. But right now, Lu Shaoyun, who can clearly sense that his behavior has scared his lover, does not dare to continue according to his original plan.

"Frost, I'm sorry, I scared you, didn't I?" Reluctantly stuck to it for a while, only feeling that it was always good to slightly relieve the thirst in his throat and eyes, and after finally retreating, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and apprehensive. "Frost, you're not mad at me, are you?"

"Of course I'm mad at you! How can you play Surprise Attack like this? His cheeks were on fire and his heart was beating wildly, because he was embarrassed, he wanted to hide from Lu Shaoyun's arms, but considering the future situation of "I have to sit back in a while, and it will inevitably be more embarrassing", so I reluctantly gave up the dodging Xia Shuanghan, and smashed Lu Shaoyun's chest with a fist in shame and anger.

"Okay, okay, I won't play Surprise Attack in the future, right?" It can be felt from her lover's performance that she is not really angry, and at the same time, Lu Shaoyun, who did not feel bad for him because of his abrupt behavior, hurriedly grabbed Xia Shuanghan's wrist and coaxed: "In the future, you are only allowed to play a surprise attack on me, this is always okay, right?" ”

"Who's going to play surprise attack on you? There is no shame in it! The shyness subsided, and he only felt the thick sweet summer frost, and after complaining a few more words, he couldn't help but whisper, and further thought: "Maybe it's not a bad thing to agree earlier and marry Tingxuan as soon as possible." ”

The night of hugging each other intimately and resisting the cold together passed quickly. After the morning light on the second day was reflected and weakened several times and then irradiated into the pit, after a night of cold compress, Lu Shaoyun, whose left foot had indeed been swollen to a large extent, was ready to leave the pothole.

The posture when sleeping was greatly restricted, so after waking up in the morning, Lu Shaoyun, who had been moving his body with Xia Shuanghan for a long time, eliminated all the soreness and stiffness, and tried to move half of the weight of his body back to his injured left foot.

According to the way that the weight of his feet was evenly shared, after walking slowly for two or three laps in the hole, Lu Shaoyun, who was sure that the pain had now become relatively faint and would no longer have much impact on his skills, quickly nodded affirmatively towards Xia Shuanghan, who was looking at him with a hopeful expression.

Let Xia Shuanghan, who crossed his hands with ten fingers, and then placed his palms up in front of him, stood firmly in the position he designated, retreated to the wall in the not too open pothole, and left himself a distance for running, and soon jumped to the bottleneck of the pothole in the process of running, pedaling and borrowing strength.

After Lu Shaoyun stepped his right foot into her palm, he raised his hand upward, providing him with a thrust of Xia Shuanghan, and soon saw that Lu Shaoyun, who flew up and climbed the edge of the hole, successfully climbed back to the ground.

Lu Shaoyun, who returned to the ground and carefully checked the surrounding environment to ensure that he would not fall twice in the process of pulling Xia Shuanghan up, quickly returned to the mouth of the pit and shouted to his lover standing below: "It's okay, throw all the things up!" ”

Xia Shuanghan, who arranged the two basically empty cloth bags into one and threw them to Lu Shaoyun, waiting for him to knot the two furoshiki and the oilcloth in the bag together to make a rope, and soon after touching the rope that hung down, he was pulled up by Lu Shaoyun.

After tidying up the bags, Lu Shaoyun, who was still not very good at his legs and feet, helped each other back to the post station, washed up and had a full meal, and then felt that he was finally alive. "There's still some time before we set out on our return trip, and I think this time will be used for you and me to catch up on sleep, right?"

Lu Shaoyun, who agreed with Xia Shuanghan's proposal to make up for sleep, but was not satisfied with the "separation" article, asked Xia Shuanghan even if he did not give up: "Why do you want to separate, two people sleeping together is obviously much warmer than one person, isn't it?" You have verified this last night. ”

"Last night it was a last resort, and today it is not! Besides, the room money is obviously paid for two people, how can I put my own bed without sleeping and squeeze a quilt with you? ”

"Why can't it? Haven't you squeezed it? Have you forgotten what happened the night we first met in the middle of last month? With one sentence, Xia Shuanghan's face flushed, and she found that when she got up this morning, she spoke in a hoarse voice, and it was obvious that Lu Shaoyun, who had a cold, insisted: "And you already have signs of catching a cold now, and sleeping on a cold quilt alone, isn't it worse to make it worse!" ”

I have to admit that my body is indeed a little uncomfortable, and I have poured myself a bowl of ginger soup Xia Shuanghan, and finally I can only choose to compromise helplessly. Snuggled up in the crook of Lu Shaoyun's arm and lay in the same quilt as him, only to feel that it was indeed very warm Xia Shuanghan, and soon fell asleep.

I still clearly remember that the reason why Xia Shuanghan suffered from infertility in her previous life, her wind and cold, who had been delayed since the middle of the first month until their marriage was completely decided, but still did not get better, Lu Shaoyun, who played a very important role, said that she could no longer make her as seriously ill in this life as in her previous life.

So, after returning to the capital with Xia Shuanghan, Lu Shaoyun, who immediately invited a doctor to treat her, then asked Xia Jingzhi to temporarily use the Xia family to take care of Xia Shuanghan, who had a high fever shortly after returning home, after Xia Jingzhi returned home at dusk.

Listening to Lu Shaoyun's account of the "Overview of the Two-Day and One-Night Tour" that he had appropriately deleted and omitted, and learned that the reason why his daughter has a high fever now is completely because of the relationship between spending the night in a pit with low temperature, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately agreed to Lu Shaoyun's request.

"Now that the New Year is approaching, I am busy with official business, Chaoyang is going to school again, and there is no one at home who can let Shuanghan lie down honestly to recuperate. You said that you want to come and take care of her for a few days, be careful to stop her, and don't let her worry about all the trivial things at the end of the year. ”

Lu Xiaoqing, who had already greeted his family and got Lu Xiaoqing, who held the concept of "taking people out to play and making people sick, Tingxuan, you can really do it", absolutely agreed and supported his proposal to take care of Xia Shuanghan, dealt with the sprain of his left foot, and then came to Xia's house Lu Shaoyun, and began to live temporarily for a short period of time.

"But a small wind chill and fever is also worth your labor and running to stay temporarily, I'm not so sick at all, okay?" Xia Shuanghan, who looked sluggish, had white lips, and was wet from the corners of his forehead, sat up from the quilt with the support of Lu Shaoyun while speaking, and then sat at the head of the bed to take the medicine bowl, and fed himself the decoction one after another.

"He also said that he was not seriously ill, whether it was bitter gourd or bitter herbs on weekdays, he didn't eat bitter food, but now he drank such a bitter decoction but didn't even frown, you are obvious, it must be because the high fever does not go away and the taste has become dull!"

Sitting on the round stool next to the bed and wiping the sweat for Xia Shuanghan with a handkerchief that had just been soaked in cold water, Lu Shaoyun, who couldn't help but think of the picture of her death in her previous life when she saw her pale and fragile appearance, was the most unacceptable thing was her lover's injury.

"Uncle Xia has already instructed me, saying that you must take care of your illness in the past few days, and you can't do anything about it. Therefore, whether it is to charter your home in the barren mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, to transform it into a fruit orchard to pay the rent, or to buy New Year's goods and various gifts for gifts, I will help you check all these things, and you just need to take good care of yourself. ”

"You took such good care of me, and you soaked in my house for so long, Grandpa Lu and your father, do they have no problem with your approach?"

"No, no, absolutely not." Waving his hand disappetically as he spoke, Lu Shaoyun explained: "I am not the eldest son in the family, and I am on the path of a military attachΓ©, so my father's eyes will naturally only be locked on my eldest brother, who has taken the road of the imperial examination and is the eldest son and grandson. ”

"As for my grandfather, he wishes that I would stay here every day and deepen my friendship with you, so that I can marry you back as soon as possible. He said at the beginning that it was my luck that you didn't meet the man you liked when you were seventeen. Otherwise, if you find the person you like early, and go to the Dingguo Mansion with that person to dissolve the marriage contract, then wouldn't I only have to cry my nose now? ”

"It's really hard for you to spend twenty years of time, no one looks down on you, but you chose me alone."

handed the empty medicine bowl in his hand to Lu Shaoyun, thanked him for his meticulous and thoughtful care of Xia Shuanghan, and reciprocated: "You once said last month, if I am free, I will do some needlework for you, right?" Then when I get better, how about making you a new set of clothes from the inside out? ”

"If you're willing to do it for me, that's great." With a grinning smile, Lu Shaoyun, who stood up and put the medicine bowl back on the round table behind him, quickly turned around again, held her lover's shoulders, and let her lie down in the quilt again.

Xia Shuanghan, who got better quickly with Lu Shaoyun's caring care, never felt unwell because of the cold before this winter passed. Soon recovered her health and became vigorous again, and the day after Lu Shaoyun left the Xia family and returned to the Dingguo Mansion, she went out to the silk village in the West Market, and bought the corresponding fabrics for the new clothes she promised to give to Lu Shaoyun.

Because of Lu Shaoyun's introduction, he officially got acquainted with Zhuo Feifei, and took the token he gave him to buy things at cost price in all the stores under his name, and came to the silk village under his name, and used this token for the first time to seek a small discount for himself Xia Shuanghan, but here she met Lu Ruqian, who she disliked the most among all Lu Shaoyun's sisters and sisters.

Stepping over the threshold of the silk village to the open storefront, I saw at a glance Lu Ruqian's Xia Shuanghan, who came to buy cloth with Lu Shaoyun's sister-in-law Tan and the other two Lu family ladies, originally wanted to completely ignore and ignore the past of these women she was unwilling to deal with.

It's just that unlike her eldest sister-in-law and her two sisters, Lu Ruqian, who has experienced what happened at the plum banquet with them, but is still "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers", did not retreat because she was afraid of her fierceness the moment she recognized Xia Shuanghan, but instead stepped forward with wide eyes and put on a posture of wanting to fight with her.
