Chapter 422: Extra-Hundred States
All morning, she was worried about the man's safety. I was frightened, but I didn't give up, and I hugged her arm and asked, "Where did Daddy go?" "Ah Jing.
Brother Xu'er is more sensible than his sister, and he quietly stays by his mother's side, only glancing at the door from time to time, revealing his dependence on that person.
At this time, the seventh girl was helpless and sad to realize how attached the two children were to their father.
When that man was there, he did everything too well. Ah Xun is coquettish, he is gentle and instructive, and he is very tolerant. For Brother Xu, in his schoolwork, no matter whether he earnestly teaches or strictly supervises, Brother Xu'er is a good father who can teach his son to read and learn characters and talk about history.
I didn't think much of it before, but at this time, I knew that it was in response to the clichΓ© that men were the pillars of the family. It's her day, and it's the children's day.

In the afternoon, it suddenly became overcast. The heavy rain washed over the yellow sand dome above the station, and the air seemed to become lighter.
I was going to visit the main tent, but I didn't want to, but I didn't want to. The sergeant on duty under the corridor told her that the chief soldier had left the camp this morning, but it was inconvenient to tell her about his specific whereabouts.
Her heart was in turmoil because of the events of these two days. Absent-mindedly walked back, and as soon as he walked not far away, he met Mrs. Qin, the Marquis of Jiangyin, who only brought a personal maid and also had a plan to visit the patient.
Qin Shi bumped into her at the door, remembering the grievances and grievances she suffered yesterday, so she endured it and behaved politely.
"The eldest son and the girl in the house, are you more frightened? Madame, where are you going? Do you want to be accompanied by a concubine? β
For some reason, Chunying, who was following behind the seventh girl, always felt that Mrs. Hou's words were yin and yang. seems to be so impatient with his master?
He asked how to "accompany" him, but he had a face of beware of driving people away. Just knocked on it clearly, "Men and women are guarded, Mrs. is here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" β
Where is this to care about the eldest son and the eldest girl in the house. is clearly mocking and sarcastic, blaming the master for not knowing how to take care of the child, but has no intentions, and goes to the Hou Ye to be courteous.
Chunying was humiliated by the Qin family, but she couldn't find fault with the words, her face turned purple with anger, and she was eager to protect the master, and said to the Qin family, "Thank you Madame, the two little masters in the house are all right." My wife is here just to visit the Hou Ye's injury. Unfortunately, Hou Ye is not here, so he has to go back. β
Although he was annoyed by Qin, he still remembered the proportions, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he was soft and steely. People who are not familiar with Chunying can hardly hear the anger in her words.
Seeing that Chunying interjected on her own initiative, the seventh girl's eyes sank slightly. Looking at Qin's eyes, he nodded with a light smile, as if affirming Chunying's words.
Qin's heart was not happy, seeing that her master and servant sang and harmonized, when the master, not only didn't care about teaching the mouthy servant, but actually smiled at her, without a word of superfluity, just staggered and left calmly? It seems that she used to carry a gun and a stick, and secretly provoked, which has become a joke.
Inexplicably, Qin's face was hot. The more unconvinced, the more the result is, the more they are sent to the door by themselves, and they fall into an even more embarrassing situation.
The Jinpa on the hand was wringed, and the Qin family stood in place, his eyes gradually drifting away with the goose-yellow figure. Suddenly, the resentment in my heart seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and before I could think about it, I shouted at Jiang.
"Madame, don't worry, from now on, the concubine will personally serve the Hou Ye. Do everything yourself, don't fake the hands of others, don't bother Mrs. you! β
The person in front of him paused, and after a moment, he turned around and bowed his head politely, as if to signal Qin: She listened to this. Only the gentle side face was frank, and there was no embarrassment of being humiliated by the Qin family in front of him.

In the evening, he hurried back, after all, he was dragging the sick body, and he was tired of traveling for a day, and his expression was slightly sluggish. Before I stepped into the second gate, I heard about what happened in the afternoon halfway, and my face was not good.
clenched his fists and coughed twice, raised his head, and saw Qin Shi who had been waiting under the corridor for a long time. He glanced at her, immediately turned around, and walked to a house not far away.
With a bang, the medicine bowl held by Qin Shi smashed on the ground. The hot potion has been hot for an unknown number of times, and it is a mess, dripping all over the ground, and gradually spreading to the bottom of the stone steps, as if to follow the person who does not look at her, ticking and flowing, as thin as silk thread, farther and farther away from her......
**
By the time he passed, the two little ones had fallen asleep. She didn't follow the girl, she leaned against the door alone, looking into the distance. Petite, in the middle of the night, more and more weak and lonely.
He Frame frowned slightly, for some reason, he couldn't see her like this. Coughed softly, pulling her back into her senses.
"The matter of the afternoon is that my wife is reckless and disrespectful, and my wife does not need to take it to heart. It's not early, if there's nothing else to do, let's rest early. β
She looked back for a moment, and caught a glimpse of a tall man walking in the afterglow, thinking it was that person, and there was a moment of surprise in her eyes. When he looked closely, his happy gaze suddenly dimmed, but he missed the equally gloomy look in his eyes.
"Master Hou is back, is he okay? The medical officer said first, these days, Hou Ye's injuries should be resting on the couch. As for the afternoon, I don't blame Mrs. Hou, but I owe it to me. β
After speaking, he stared at her quietly, neither of them spoke, and the small courtyard was quiet for a long time.
When the dark clouds above her head slowly drifted past, the moon showed her face again, he turned his face away, and she lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and finally asked, "I don't know where Hou Ye went today?" Outside, have you heard the news of my husband, even if it is only a few words? β
When questioned, her long eyelashes covered the look under her eyes. The tone was still steady.
He Frame's hand behind his back trembled, and his fingertips trembled. pinched the tone that was the same as her, and replied to her, "I only have a few eyebrows, which have not yet been verified, whether they are true or false, especially if they are true." It doesn't help you to tell you at this point, but it just adds a lot of nonsense. Don't be in a hurry, act as he has always done, know that you are in Beijing, always worry about him, and will definitely refuse to take risks lightly, and disregard your life. Please stay in peace for a while, but if you have accurate news, you will be sure to let someone report it quickly. β
Only he knew how astringent his heart was when he said this, and he couldn't speak sincerely. actually thought despicably, if Gu Yan was not good, he would be willing to take care of her on his behalf - do his best, and he would not be worse than that person.
The corners of her mouth were curled, knowing that sometimes, the person in front of her was really stubbornly similar to that person. In the end, he has worked with him for a long time, and this person has to keep his mouth shut, and no matter how much he entangles, it will be in vain.
"So." She was about to salute and return to her room, when she had the heart to take a serious look at him. I didn't care about this glance, but I saw that this person was not only colorless, but also had two obvious black blue prints under his eyes.
After a serious injury and blood loss, the wound is painful and I can't sleep all night?
She thought to herself.
"Master Hou, wait a minute." Hurriedly went back and asked Chunying to take out a plain sachet sewn in his spare time, which contained several sun-dried herbs such as wormwood and mint, and handed it to him.
"Originally, it was sewn for Brother Xu, but I made a few more, and it was useless to be idle. If the Hou Ye does not dislike it, this thing can be hung in the tent to repel insects and calm the nerves, and it can have some sleep-aiding effects. β
"Oh?" He took it and rubbed it twice in his hand, flipped it back and forth, and put it in his sleeve pocket without moving.
"Then thank Mrs. Xie for her kindness."
When she returned to her room, he watched her disappear behind the door and walked back. After only a short walk, I looked back and saw that the lights were still on in her house.
The man's thick eyebrows furrowed, and after a moment's hesitation, he stopped, and ducked his figure into the shade of a tree invisible to the people in the room.
Leaning back against the trunk of the tree, He Frame tilted his head, looking through the dark canopy of branches, half-squinting, looking at the moonlight that appeared and disappeared from time to time.
In his hand, he carefully twisted the sachet she gifted, very slowly, inch by inch.
It wasn't until Zi Shi beat the drum that the lights went out in her room, and there was no light coming through, that he stretched his stiff waist. accidentally involved the wound on his back, grinning in pain, and silently inhaling cool air.
After relieving for a while, he gathered his lightly exposed robe, dragged his tired body, and walked into the twilight of the four folds.
