"Tatsumi, how are you doing at the academy?"

"How's the Master?"

"Did the master praise you?"

Wu Dehou hasn't seen his only son for a long time, and he misses it very much.

Father cared about him, Qu Chensi was flattered, he quickly replied one by one, especially when he said that the articles he wrote were very liked by the master, Wu Dehou finally showed his first smile when he entered He'an Garden.

When Wen saw it, he was secretly happy in his heart.

Her purpose of calling her son back was achieved.

"Master Hou, don't patronize and ask Chensi, eat. You've had a hard time. ”

Wen Shi gave Wu Dehou vegetables, at first, he didn't eat it, but when he saw his son look strange, he could only swallow it.

Of course, Wen knew that Wu Dehou had dinner with Jiang in Qingyili just now, and now he was not hungry when he had something in his stomach, but if he ate it, it was enough to show that she had a good trick to let her son come back, at least, there was still room for change between her and Wu Dehou.

"Master Hou, eat this."

Another chopstick was clipped to Wu Dehou, and Qu Fu glanced at his son, who had eaten it.

"Tatsumi, have you eaten enough?" I haven't eaten the food at home for a long time, and Qu Chensi also misses it tightly, Wen asked, and he immediately said: "I'm full, it's delicious." ”

Wen touched his son's head lovingly, "When you're full, go and rest, huh?" ”

Qu Chensi nodded, and went back to his room, tonight Wen specially let him sleep in his yard.

After Qu Chensi left, Wu Dehou also got up and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Wen's clothes, "Master Hou, wait until Chensi sleeps before leaving, okay?" ”

In the end, it is his wife who has shared the bed with him for more than ten years, the dim light play, Wen looked up at her, there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, and after a few days of coldness, Wen lost a lot of weight, and Wu Dehou's heart was even softer, and he didn't say anything, but he sat down with his buttocks.

Wen smiled, and Wu Dehou also saw it, but didn't say anything.

That night, in a rare good atmosphere, Wen took Wu Dehou to Qu Chensi's house together.

Coaxed Qu Chensi to sleep, Wen carefully pressed the corners of the quilt for him, and then went out with Wu Dehou.

"Master Hou, it's getting late, why don't you stay?"

It was completely natural, Wu Dehou did not agree, nor did he refuse.

But Wen just knew that Qu Fu agreed.

Hurriedly asked the girl to prepare water for Wu Dehou to wash, and quickly took a bath and changed her clothes.

The two sat on the edge of the bed together, and Wen Shi spoke first: "Master Hou, for the sake of the past many years, don't be angry with the concubine." ”

Wen didn't mention the last time he caught the adulterer, but poured all the bitter water in his stomach first.

"Master Hou, the concubine really knows that it is wrong, so don't punish the concubine! It's okay, for the sake of my son! ”

Wu Dehou hesitated for a moment, "You...... Not again! ”

Wen Shi was so happy that he almost jumped up, "Yes, yes, the concubine knows." ”

"Master Hou, you're tired, let's sleep."

Saying that, Wen also carefully laid out Wu Dehou's quilt, Wen used the spices used in the past very carefully tonight, and deliberately put some in the bath water.

Wu Dehou also said this taste at the beginning, and he liked it very much.

Sure enough, after lying down, Wu Dehou smelled it and said comfortably: "This smell is so familiar." ”

"It's good if Master Hou likes it."

Wen is even happier, as long as she can return Hou Ye's heart, she is willing to do anything.

The light went out, Wen thought about it, and carefully took off the outer blouse, revealing the bandeau inside, she rubbed in the direction of Wu Dehou, put her hand on Wu Dehou's waist, and the other party did not move.

She continued to make up.

But he had to say Wu Dehou: "It's hot to death!" ”

Wen was embarrassed.

She retracted her hand, separating herself from Wu Dehou.

Through the dim moonlight, she looked towards Wu Dehou's body, but only saw the other party's indifferent back.

He sighed in his heart, but Wen didn't give up.

The next morning, Wen got up early, didn't disturb Wu Dehou, and went to Qu Chensi's room, had dinner with his son, and sent him away, only then did he return to the bedroom, Qu Fu also woke up, she hurriedly walked over, "Hou Ye woke up?" ”

"Where's Tatsumi?"

"I've sent it to the academy."

is so proper, Wu Dehou can't help but feel that he and the Wen family still have a sense of tacit understanding a few years ago.

He got up from his bed, dressed under Wen's service, and breakfast was already set.

Wen picked up one of the soup bowls, "Master Hou, this is a refreshing medicinal meal specially prepared by the concubine in the kitchen, if you drink it and go to the court, you will definitely be a hundred times sober." ”

Wu Dehou didn't refuse, he raised his head and drank it, and when he walked out of He'an Garden, Wu Dehou only felt comfortable, he had never been so comfortable.

Jiang Jingjing learned last night that Wu De was staying in He'an Garden, and she forcibly suppressed the resentment in her heart: Hou Ye will not forgive the Wen family so easily!

But the reality slapped her in the face, Wu Dehou not only forgave Wen, but also accompanied Wen to breakfast in He'an Garden.

After eating and drinking, Wu Dehou went to the court.

This made Jiang Jingjing's hatred for the Wen family even deeper.

On the same day, Wu Dehou came back from the next court, and Wen went to the study with a swagger, and she discussed with Wu Dehou about buying slaves.

Wu Dehou said: "You can decide such a small matter by yourself, but you remember that the old lady's yard must be assigned to someone with a clean family background and neat hands and feet, and don't go wrong." ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Dehou glanced at Wen and said, "If something happens, I will hold you accountable!" ”

Wen dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he had to bury his head and reply: "The concubine can save herself." ”

"Forget it, the old lady's slave and maid are still prepared by me."

Wu Dehou put down the book in his hand and said.

Wen was even angrier in his heart, but thinking that he had just reconciled with Wu Dehou, he didn't dare to say anything more.

When Wu Dehou came back from the next dynasty, he was moved a lot less in his heart, and he had no pity for the Wen family.

But this night, Wen took Qu Chensi back, afraid that Hou Ye would be disgusted, so Wen asked Qu Chensi to say that he was homesick and wanted to come back.

Wu Dehou was invited, and when he saw his son who was about to cry, what else could he say.

As soon as there was no accident that night, Wu Dehou stayed in Wen's courtyard again.

However, in the dim light, when she was sorting out Wu Dehou's clothes, she saw a bloody mark on the back of his neck, the wound was very fresh, and it looked like it was made today.

And in such a sensitive and private place, apart from women, Wen couldn't think of anyone who could hurt here.

Staring at the wound, Wen's eyes were red.

It must be Jiang Jingjing, she is showing off to herself!

couldn't help but clench his fists, and Wen began to think in his heart.

Although Jiang Jingjing's body was damaged, she didn't know if that injury made Jiang Jingjing difficult to conceive.

No, no matter what, she can't let Jiang Jingjing give birth to the child.

Wu Dehou is only in his forties, in the prime of life, and it is very simple to want a child.

She would never allow the children next to her to compete for her place.

So—

Slowly, a vicious smile rose on Wen's lips.

Wu Dehou, who was less than half a meter away from her, never thought that the woman beside him had turned black.

Even go after your own children!

After sending Wu Dehou away, the Wen family asked Taolei to prepare, and the servants in the house entered some, but it was far from enough.

The Wen family was busy buying slaves, and Qu Miaoling was also busy selecting competent stewards for her mother's estate.

She once came to the slave market.

"Miss, wouldn't it be better for Zhuangzi's steward to be selected from among the original subordinates?"

"Gently, my mother's Zhuangzi has been in charge of the Wen family for many years, what kind of cow, ghost, snake and god are the people inside, we don't know, the people in the Zhuangzi, can we still use them?"

Thinking about it gently, "But the minions in the slave market are all low-class, and it is difficult to find those who can be kept as stewards!" ”

"If it's hard to find, you have to find it, and my mother's estate can't continue to be abandoned."

As he spoke, Qu Miaoling stepped into the market.

went to several stores in succession, but Qu Miaoling didn't choose a suitable one.

For a while, she was also a little discouraged, and at this moment, he saw an acquaintance.

On the slave stall not far in front, her fourth cousin Min Ren was talking to someone, it must be a big deal, Qu Miaoling didn't want to go over and get involved.

But Min Ren's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Qu Miaoling, he greeted directly: "Miaoling, here!" ”

Seeing the fourth cousin beckoning to him, Qu Miaoling could only go over.

"Fourth cousin."

"Miao Ling, why are you here?"

Ignoring the joy of seeing his sister at the beginning, Min Ren looked at the complicated environment around him, and the unbridled gaze of those men since his sister came over, Min Ren couldn't help but block in front of her, blocking those annoying sights.

"Miao Ling, why did you come here!"

Blocking the dazzling vision behind him, Min Rencai said.

"I'm here to buy slaves, this mother's manor Wen has been handed back to me, I want to arrange some stewards in the past, but there is no one in hand, so I want to come here to find it."

"The Wen clan actually returned the manor to you?"

For so many years, a few years older than Qu Miaoling, Min Ren has also followed Mrs. An to see Wen's face.

In the past, for the sake of the county lord of Huiling and Qu Miaoling, during the New Year's holiday, Mrs. An also took them to visit Wu Dehou, but while Wu Dehou was not there, Wen's face was really hateful, and he didn't say that Qu Miaoling was a disaster star, and he still neglected them.

Once, they were forced to dry in the front hall for half an hour, and the Wen family was late.

Since then, Mrs. An has never come to the door again, but often goes to see Qu Miaoling.

Of course, as Qu Miaoling grew up talking about it one day, Mrs. An also had the idea of asking for the dowry of the county lord of Huiling, but the Wen family always diverted from the conversation, taking care of him, and even accused Mrs. An of saying that she came for Mrs. An's dowry, and she was uneasy and kind.

Since then, Mrs. An has never mentioned the dowry, and her impression of everyone in the Hou Mansion has dropped a lot, especially the Wen family and Wudehou.

"It's true, didn't I go to Ganzhou some time ago? I also went to see the Zhuangzi there, and the steward there was bought by the Wen family, not to mention, and wanted to harm me, although I put him to death, but I thought that the Zhuangzi of my mother in the rest of the place was probably controlled by the Wen people, and if I didn't replace them, I would not be able to sleep and eat, and I couldn't watch my mother's Zhuangzi destroyed by them. ”

After listening to Qu Miaoling's words, Min Ren nodded.

"Fourth cousin, then you are here-" Qu Miaoling said as she looked at the tall man behind Min Ren.

"I'm here, Miao Ling, to introduce you, this is Deng Deyong, the biggest merchant in the slave market, you can call him Brother Deng."

Qu Miaoling glanced at this Deng Deyong, he was very tall, comparable to Min Ren, he looked very strong, his hair was tied behind his head, Xu was too hard, he looked hairy, and he was wearing a coarse cloth and a short beat, not like a successful businessman at all.

Deng Deyong, as an outstanding businessman, also had a look in his eyes when he looked at Qu Miaoling.

Deng Deyong has heard of His Royal Highness the county lord many times.

Some say that she is cold-blooded by nature, some say that she doesn't recognize her six relatives, and some say that she is destined to kill her relatives......

In all kinds of rumors, there is no mention of what this girl looks like.

Seeing Qu Miaoling, Deng Deyong was also shocked, how to describe this woman's beauty?

Goose egg face, white tender skin, willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, obviously a cold temperament, looking at the appearance makes people look at it, but only can see the gorgeous and unique.

Such a beauty was rumored to be a cow ghost and snake god?

I don't know what those who spread nonsense think.

"Miss Qu, my name is Deng Deyong."

Chao Qu Miaoling bowed his hand, and Deng De said bravely.

"I've seen Brother Deng."

This voice of Brother Deng made Deng Deyong's cold and hard heart melt a lot.
