Chapter 116: The Past

"I was the one who took you back then."

Xiao Hao took an orange from the fruit bowl on the side, peeled off the skin and put the flesh into Granny Wen's hand, and said without pretending not to care, "What did you just say?" ”

After asking, I wanted to find a blanket for Granny Wen to cover her legs.

Granny Wen stopped him: "Okay, don't be busy, listen to me." ”

Xiao Hao hung his head and sat down again.

Granny Wen handed him the small bamboo basket: "When I saw you at the time, you were in this bamboo basket, such a small one, Yuxue is cute, I don't know what happened, and I still smiled at me." Originally, I should have handed you over to a farmer after I took you away, but in the end, I was reluctant. ”

"I will keep you and raise you myself."

Granny Wen looked at the young man in front of her, who was now an adult and was going to the northwest to take up her post, and sighed a little, in the blink of an eye, she had grown so big.

But at this time, Xiao Hao's lips had already pursed into a straight line, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Mother-in-law, it's been so long, why do you still want to talk about this matter again?" In fact, since I was a child, I knew that you were different from other old peasant ladies, and after I found my parents in the capital, I didn't ask you how you found me, but now, why do you say it? ”

"Why?"

Xiao Hao raised his head slightly, trying not to let the tears in his eyes remain.

Granny Wen looked at Xiao Hao's stubborn appearance, her heart swelled and ached, and her eyes turned red unconsciously, but she was still ruthless, there were some things he had to know, otherwise......

"Back then, I was ordered by my family to guard the back door of the Dingguo General's Mansion, and when I waited for you to take you out, after receiving you, I took a few people to the farmer's house that had originally agreed to adopt you."

"Mother-in-law! Please, don't say any more, I've already found my parents, haven't I, it's all gone, don't say it anymore. Xiao Hao's emotions suddenly became a little excited, he looked at Granny Wen with pleading eyes, he didn't want to know Granny Wen's past, and he didn't want to guess that the woman who raised him might have been vicious.

But Granny Wen held down his hand and looked firm: "Child, this matter is not so simple, you listen to me and continue." ”

Since he was a child, Granny Wen treated him very gently, and rarely had such a sharp gaze, Xiao Hao was a little stunned for a while, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter, he cleaned up his emotions, and returned to his usual state before nodding at Granny Wen.

Granny Wen watched Xiao Hao finish tidying herself up so quickly, and was a little relieved, the child who was still pulling the corner of her clothes to ask for candy had really grown up.

Granny Wen also stabilized her emotions: "On our way to that farmer, we were attacked, and the others died in order to cover me, and I was hit by an arrow, but I hid with you in one breath, and fortunately you didn't cry at the time, otherwise, now the two of us would not be able to sit face to face like this." ”

"After escaping, I don't dare to take you back, no one knows who intercepted us at that time, if we go back, maybe we both will die in the hands of that mysterious person, so I will take you to settle in Mayang Village until you grow up."

Granny Wen raised the cluster of arrows that had rusted in her hand and handed it to Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao looked at it carefully, there was a vague pattern on it, but because some places had rusted off, it was not very clear.

"This is the cluster of arrows that shot me back then, and I kept it so that one day I could find the real culprit behind it."

"Mother-in-law." Xiao Hao shouted softly.

Granny Wen looked at the face that was similar to that of General Dingguo, and was in a trance: "Child, don't blame my family, he must have a hard time, he is an honest official, dedicated to the people, and your father General Dingguo is a good brother, he must not do this willingly, he gave a full thousand taels of silver before I left, saying that it was for you." He is really a good person, he is a good person, but why do good people always not live long? ”

"Lord Song, why did you leave at a young age, what should you do if you let the old slave?"

Granny Wen, who was originally emotionally stable, suddenly burst into tears, crying and crying, and Granny Wen fainted.

Xiao Hao picked up Granny Wen and put her on the bed, Xiao Hao looked at the wrinkled face, but fell into deep thought.

Since he was a child, he has only seen Granny Wen cry twice, once when he was a child, Granny Wen took him on the street to be grateful, and when he heard the news that a corrupt official was beheaded, Granny Wen's eyes suddenly turned red, and another time, it was just now, Granny Wen, who cried so heartbreakingly, it was the first time he saw it.

In fact, Xiao Hao still has a lot of questions in his heart, but Granny Wen's situation is obviously not suitable for stimulation.

Xiao Hao looked at the things on the table, clenched his fists, and only took away the rusty cluster of arrows.

returned to the courtyard where he and Hang Yidong were, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Hang Yidong sitting on the couch sewing and mending, and his originally broken and empty heart was suddenly soaked warm.

Hang Yidong saw Xiao Hao coming back, and hurriedly greeted him, still holding the half-made clothes in his hand, and greeted her husband sweetly: "You're back!" ”

Xiao Hao hugged Hang Yidong, rested his chin on Hang Yidong's shoulder socket, took a hard breath of the warm aroma on Hang Yidong's body, and said softly: "I'm back." ”

Hang Yidong also noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Hao at the moment, so he asked Xiao Hao to hug her, and the two of them snuggled together to keep each other warm.

After a long while, Xiao Hao let go of Hang Yidong, looked at the clothes in her hand, and asked gently, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I thought that we would leave in a few days, so I wanted to make something for everyone in the family, this is the underwear I made for my brother, you came back just in time, you are about the same size as my brother, you stand still, let me compare the size." As he spoke, Hang Yidong held up the half-made dress and gestured on Xiao Hao's body.

Xiao Hao looked at Hang Yidong's way of comparing back and forth, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, wanting to tease the little girl in front of him.

He showed that familiar expression of grievance: "Why don't you do it for me?" I want it too, your husband. ”

The little girl was only busy with the work in her hands, and she didn't look up at him at all, but just replied: "Oh, don't worry, but no one will lack you." How could I have forgotten my husband, right? ”

After speaking, he raised his head and smiled at Xiao Hao.

Xiao Hao's eyes deepened, the pupils in his eyes were heavy and indissolvable, he squatted down, hugged the crook of the little girl's legs, and hugged the person, the little girl seemed to be startled, and hurriedly hugged Xiao Hao's head.

"What are you doing!"

"Of course it's something that will make us all happy!"

As he spoke, he put Hang Yidong down on the bed and leaned over to press it.

The bed curtain was put down, and a corner naturally fell to the ground, and a faint conversation came from the bed: "It's not dark yet, why are you so anxious?" ”

"I do some boudoir fun with my wife, and I have to divide it day and night."

"You're shameless!" The female voice was a little annoyed.

In the end, all the sound was reduced to moans and the "crunch" of the shaker.

The sun sets in the west, and a rising sun rises slowly in the east.

A strong musky smell permeated the room, a delicate little man was lying in the quilt, full of traces, Hang Yidong raised his arm and touched the side, there was no one left.

She sat up slowly: "Someone." ”

Shen Yue walked in with her head down: "Madam." ”

"What about the head of the house?"

"The head of the family is practicing in the courtyard, and he tells the little ones to warm the morning food for the wife, and the lady should get up and use a little?"

Hang Yidong replied in a low voice, got up under Shen Yue's service, and the moment he stood up, he felt as if his legs were not his own, and he was ashamed in his heart, this Xiao Hao would toss her.

After using some porridge, Hang Yidong slowly recovered.

At this time, Xiao Hao appeared again.

He walked straight to Hang Yidong, sat beside her, and stretched out his hand to hug her: "What did you eat?" ”

"I had some porridge in the morning."

Xiao Hao looked at the table, a stack of tofu, a plate of shredded potatoes, and a few dried shrimps, and the porridge in front of Hang Yidong didn't drink much, he rubbed the tender little face of the person in his arms: "Why do you eat so little?" ”

Hang Yidong leaned on him lazily: "I don't want to eat, I'm a little tired." ”

Xiao Hao was a little distressed: "Was it a toss yesterday?" ”

Hearing that Xiao Hao still dared to mention this matter, Hang Yidong slapped him hatefully: "You still dare to say it!" If you do this again in the future, beware of me castrating you!! ”

Xiao Hao looked at Hang Yidong, who looked like a fried kitten in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, coaxing the little girl in his arms like a daughter: "Okay, it won't be in the future." ”

"That's pretty much it." Hang Yidong snorted lightly, and then seemed to think of something, "Shall we find time to go back to the Dingguo General's Mansion?" In any case, we have to say goodbye to the general and his wife. ”

However, the person holding her did not answer, just caressed her back one by one.

It was a long time before he spoke.

"I know, in the past few days, find a time to see the general and ...... Madame. ”

Hang Yidong knew Xiao Hao's hesitation, stood up, and smiled at him soothingly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I won't be fine, she is your mother after all, and after giving birth to you, we should respect her, even if it's just on face, huh?" ”

Xiao Hao nodded obediently.

Hang Yidong touched his head and said with a smile: "Well, that's good." ”

"By the way, Dong'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to hold a banquet for us in Xiangmanlou today."

Hang Yidong thought about it, and it happened to be an opportunity to introduce Chu Mo to the prince, so he nodded happily: "Okay, I know, let's go over together when the time comes." ”
