Chapter 126: I don't mind being a matchmaker
Qi Fei rode his horse all the way, but because he was delayed for some time at Mama Hua's side, by the time he returned to the barracks again, it was already dark. He didn't stop at all, took the baggage, turned over and dismounted, and sent the things to Chu Changfeng, muttering a sentence on his lips, Chu Changfeng didn't hear what he said specifically.
When Chu Changfeng took over the burden and was about to go to the camp tent, he was stopped by Qi Fei again. Chu Changfeng paused, turned his head to look at Qi Fei, and looked at Qi Fei with a puzzled face.
"Mama Hua put brown sugar in the baggage, saying that she wanted to boil the kitchen for Mrs. to drink. Otherwise, you will take out the brown sugar and give it to me first, and I will go to the kitchen to boil it first. Qi Fei pointed to the burden and said.
Chu Changfeng lowered his eyes and glanced at the burden and nodded. After putting down the curtain, Chu Changfeng put the burden on the desk and opened it, took out the brown sugar from it alone, lifted the curtain and handed it to Qi Fei, then put down the curtain again and went to the inner room with the baggage.
The things in the baggage are all the personal belongings of the girl's family, and it is not easy for Qi Fei to look at them.
Xu Jiayi is still lying on the bed, but she has changed into a new set of dry clothes, and she has also used a menstrual belt under her body, so she feels more comfortable. As soon as he lay down, he smelled a strange smell, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Changfeng coming in from outside with a soup bowl.
Xu Jiayi sucked the tip of her nose, and before Chu Changfeng got closer, she guessed the thing in the bowl, brown sugar ginger jujube tea.
She always had to drink a few bowls of this thing before and after her childhood, and she was very familiar with it. Chu Changfeng disappeared when she changed her clothes just now, she thought he was busy with something, but she didn't expect to get brown sugar water for herself.
"Mama Hua said that it would be more comfortable to drink this." Chu Changfeng had no expression on his face, but the sharp-eyed Xu Jiayi still saw that Chu Changfeng's ears were already red, obviously embarrassed and ashamed. I'm afraid that when he boiled brown sugar water for himself in the kitchen, he was made fun of by his soldiers.
Xu Jiayi bent her eyebrows, took the soup bowl and drank the brown sugar water in small sips.
Seeing that Xu Jiayi finished drinking, Chu Changfeng helped her lie down and covered the quilt for her, "It's so easy for you to come this time, I don't have time to accompany you, you won't blame me, right?" ”
Especially last night, he also dragged Xu Jiayi to mess around for a long time. If he had known that she would come to a small day today, he would not have messed around with his temperament.
"How can it be, I know that my cousin is here to protect the frontier and defend the country. It is precisely because of the existence of soldiers like you who sacrifice their small families to take care of everyone that the country and the people can be peaceful and prosperous. You are the great hero of our country, how can I blame you? Xu Jiayi patted Chu Changfeng's arm soothingly, and persuaded, "It's me who is ignorant and delaying you to do things." ”
"What the hell is there?" Chu Changfeng pinched the tip of Xu Jiayi's nose, "Sleepy, right?" You go to sleep first, I still have some things to take care of, and I'll come back when I'm done. ”
Xu Jiayi slowly closed her eyes, Xu was because of drinking brown sugar water, her body was very hot, and even a little hot and sweaty, which made her feel more comfortable. During the small days, people always looked tired, and when she lay in bed for a short time, Xu Jiayi was already groggy and sleepy.
I don't know how long the time has passed, but there is a slight sound of footsteps in my ears, obviously someone who came deliberately lightened his movements. Xu Jiayi turned her head to look in a daze, and saw Chu Changfeng, who was groping in the dark, who was in wide clothes, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said in a dumb voice, "The matter has been dealt with?" ”
"You haven't slept yet?" Chu Changfeng's movements froze, and he turned his head to look over.
"Woke up once." Xu Jiayi sat up with her hands propped up, and went to change into a new menstrual belt before climbing into bed again, lying inside, leaving most of the empty seats to come out.
Chu Changfeng lay in the vacant seat, stretched out his hand and wanted to take Xu Jiayi in his arms to sleep as before, but Xu Jiayi was slightly biased away from him, "I'm uncomfortable, so it's inconvenient to move more." ”
The more you move, the more miserable Ming'er will be with this sheet.
Yesterday, she soiled a piece of bed sheet, she had already packed it with her dirty clothes and brought it back to wash, if this sheet was stained again, then Chu Changfeng would not have changed it. The most important thing is that the men feel more of this blood and don't want to be contaminated. So she moved extremely carefully and stiffly, trying to keep this lying position still.
Hearing this, Chu Changfeng withdrew his hand, and lay next to Xu Jiayi side by side, feeling her stiff and straight body, his eyes flashed, and he reached out and pulled her hand over and held it in the palm of his hand, "You don't have to be so careful, you can sleep as much as you want, just replace the quilt with a new one." ”
Xu Jiayi's body relaxed instantly, bowed slightly, and leaned on Chu Changfeng's arm to fall asleep......
Early the next morning, Chu Changfeng had just lifted the curtain of the tent and went out, when he saw Cai Ying, who was in high spirits outside, standing there with his eyes blank, and when he saw him come out, he immediately shouted happily, "General!" ”
Chu Changfeng's brows furrowed instantly, and he glared at Cai Ying coldly, looking at Cai Ying inexplicably, standing there quite helplessly. Chu Changfeng listened carefully for a while, and was relieved to see that there was no sound in the inner room, and his chin moved slightly to signal Cai Ying to follow, and only spoke up after walking away, "I have already discussed the matter of gunpowder with my father and several lieutenant generals......"
After the morning exercise, when Chu Changfeng returned to the camp again, Xu Jiayi had already dressed up and was about to leave. The two places are far apart, and it takes a lot of time on the road, Xu Jiayi even thought that if Chu Changfeng hadn't come back for another half an hour, she wouldn't say goodbye in person.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to go out, Chu Changfeng came back.
"Is this leaving?"
"Hmm." Xu Jiayi nodded.
Mama Hua and the others have already waited outside the barracks, waiting for her alone.
When Chu Changfeng sent Xu Jiayi out of the barracks, Xu Jiayi watched Qi Fei and Cuiyun standing side by side from a distance and saying something, Qi Fei also handed a wooden box to Cuiyun, Cuiyun not only refused, but took it with a smile, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and he smiled a little.
"Madam......" Qi Fei was the first to see Xu Jiayi, thinking that Xu Jiayi had seen what he had just done, and when he met her playful gaze, he couldn't help but blush, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and saluted, "Shizi." ”
Cuiyun also reacted, and hurriedly stood beside Xu Jiayi, took the burden in her hand, and helped her to stand still.
"Anything else?" Chu Changfeng raised his eyes and asked Qi Fei.
Qi Fei shook his head again and again, "No." ”
"Since it's okay, let's go in quickly, what is the pestle doing here. When I first came out, I saw Vice General Chen looking for you. Hearing Chu Changfeng say this, Qi Fei breathed a sigh of relief, gratefully threw a glance at Chu Changfeng, and ran away without a trace.
"What are you doing so nervously, I don't want to do anything to him." Xu Jiayi tilted her head to look at Chu Changfeng, her apricot eyes flickered, and she said with dissatisfaction. Chu Changfeng liked Xu Jiayi's delicate and glutinous appearance the most, and immediately reached out to take her in his arms and explained, "Qi Fei has a thin face, and it is already embarrassing enough for you to see it." ”
"What's going on with the girl's family, he's a man who is ashamed to answer." Xu Jiayi pursed the corners of her lips, glanced at Cuiyun who was generous on the side, but didn't say anything. Holding Mama Hua's hand, she stepped on a small stool and got into the carriage, and after sitting down, she lifted the curtain and waved her hand at Chu Changfeng, asking him to go in first, no need to send it.
After Qi Fei and Chu Changfeng were gone, Mama Hua let the coachman set off. In the carriage, Xu Jiayi tilted her head and looked at Cuiyun meaningfully and squinted her eyes and smiled, "When did you two have such a good relationship?" ”
"What do you say, ma'am?" Hearing Xu Jiayi's words, Cuiyun instantly blushed, opened the box in his hand and showed it to Xu Jiayi, and muttered, "Deputy Lieutenant Qi didn't give me this thing, I asked me to bring it back to Yuanxiang." ”
"For Motoka?" Xu Jiayi raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this, looked into the wooden box, and found that they were all things used by little girls, including two silk flowers and a box of fat powder, although there were not many things, they were all exquisite, and the price would not be cheap, at least it would cost a few taels of silver.
Although Qi Fei is an lieutenant in the barracks, his silver is not high, and it is not easy to save a few taels of silver, but now he is giving it to Yuan Xiang without blinking.
Xu Jiayi tilted her head and thought.
If this thing was given to Cuiyun, Xu Jiayi didn't think it was strange, but it was given to Yuanxiang, which surprised her.
Yuanxiang doesn't like to go out and walk around, unlike Cuiyun who follows her, but she can often meet Qi Fei. Yuan Xiang spends most of his time in the maple garden, and it is said that he has met Qi Fei on both hands and counted the number of times, when did Qi Fei pay so much attention to Yuan Xiang?
It seems that he is indeed incompetent, and when he returns to the Anping Marquis Mansion, he should ask Yuanxiang carefully. If the two people are really in love, she is also happy to fulfill the two of them and be the matchmaker of the two.
Xu Jiayi's life was not easy this time, especially after staying in the carriage for almost a whole day, she was even more tired, and after returning to the Anping Marquis Mansion, she didn't even use dinner much, so she lay on the bed and rested. The next few days were also spent in a mess, and even the matter of asking Yuan Xiang about Qi Fei's meaning was also left behind by Xu Jiayi for the time being.
It wasn't until the end of the day that I took a comfortable hot bath, and then I felt alive again and remembered it again.
Xu Jiayi glanced at Cuiyun and put down the tea cup in her hand, "Cuiyun, the tea is a little cold, you go and change the pot to be hot." ”
