Chapter 318 has long had a wife's room

"Why did you come back so early today?" Nangong Jingchen, who was still waiting at home for Shen Tangqiao to bring him good news, never thought that he had just been out for about half a day, and he actually came back, and he felt incredible in an instant.

"The prey is sold out, and it returns." Shen Tangqiao took out the meat patty wrapped in brown paper that he had bought on the road from his arms, put it on the table, and then turned around to answer Nangong Jingchen's words.

Put down the book in his hand, reached out to open the brown paper, took out the meatloaf inside, then took a big bite, glanced at Shentang Bridge, and asked suspiciously:

"Where did you buy this meatloaf? Looks like beef? Where did you get the money to buy beef patties? ”

Shen Tangqiao didn't expect Nangong Jingchen to actually eat what kind of filling this cake was in one bite, so he reached out and took a meatloaf and ate it together, the cake in this shop is quite delicious?

"Today's prey sold for more than two hundred taels of silver, and I just happened to meet a seller of meatloaf, so I bought a few, if you think it's delicious, I'll buy it next time."

This was the longest sentence that Shen Tangqiao had ever said to Nangong Jingchen, and it was also the most surprising thing to Nangong Jingchen, because he really felt that Shentangqiao seemed to have begun to gradually accept himself.

"Have you forgotten something important?" Holding the beef patty in his hand, halfway through eating, Nangong Jingchen suddenly remembered that he had arranged Shentang Bridge before, and looked at him and asked such a sentence.

"I'll go to the city in the evening to inquire about this kind of thing, don't worry, I will definitely find out for you... Sister-in-law's message. ”

Shen Tangqiao was talking about this seriously, but suddenly turned his head to look at the window, and quietly swallowed the sentence 'concubine' that had just come to his lips, and directly replaced it with his sister-in-law.

"You and my brother have been in this village for a long time, and there has been no news of your sister-in-law, and I don't know how she is doing now, whether she has taken care of herself." Nangong Jingchen instantly understood that someone was eavesdropping outside the window, so he followed his words directly.

Outside the door, he was overhearing his scolding, and the person who spoke couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "I really can't see it, this Chen Qiao's brother has already married a wife, presumably those girls in the village provoked his brother and was kicked out, so he ran to me to complain." ”

Yes, this person standing in front of the window and eavesdropping is the village chief who came to their house yesterday to ask about his son's situation, because he never knew whether what the girls in the village said to him were true or false, so he casually found a time to come and eavesdrop, but he didn't expect to come back just in time for Shentang Bridge, and directly listened to the conversation between the two of them.

"Brother, you don't have to worry too much, my sister-in-law must be fine, maybe I'm waiting for you to go back at home at this time!" Shen Tangqiao continued to answer quietly, and at the same time did not forget to carefully observe the movement outside the window.

"I know your sister-in-law must be quite worried about the two of us, find an opportunity to send a letter to your sister-in-law, so that your sister-in-law can rest assured."

Although Nangong Jingchen's injury is not good now, his ears are still very sensitive, and he knows that the person who has been hiding in the window and eavesdropping has not left, so he continues to cooperate with Shentang Bridge.

After a long while, there was no movement on the other side of the window, Nangong Jingchen and Shen Tangqiao glanced at each other, quietly walked to the window, reached out to open the window, and found that there was no one under the window.

But Shen Tangqiao saw a dark gray back from afar, and hurriedly ran away from the grove behind, and Nangong Jingchen naturally saw it.

"It is estimated that the village chief came to inquire about the news, and I don't know what happened yesterday, but the village chief suddenly came over to ask me about his son, probably thinking that the two of us came to their village to plot wrong, and I was afraid that the two of us would attack his son."

Stretching out his hand to close the window, Nangong Jingchen returned to the original table, continued to eat the meatloaf that had not been eaten just now, and talked to Shen Tangqiao about yesterday's events while eating.

"Have you offended anyone lately?"

Shen Tangqiao subconsciously frowned when he heard this, the two of them hadn't done anything bad since they came to this village, let alone offended anyone, how could they suddenly attract the attention of the village chief? This made him puzzled.

"Yesterday, a group of women came and knocked on the door, saying that the village chief asked them to deliver food, but I didn't expect them to be so bold and throw hugs directly to me, so I ......"

Listening to Nangong Jingchen's next words, Shen Tangqiao nodded thoughtfully, thinking that the reason why the village chief came over to ask the two of them was not for nothing.

"The women in this village like to chew on the root of their tongues, you should pay attention to it yourself at home." Shen Tangqiao worked hard to organize the language in his mind for a while, and then he said such a sentence, because there were some words, he really didn't know how to express them, so he could only speak so bluntly.

"I know, those women haven't come here since the last time, and when I recover from my injuries, you can send me back, I don't want to worry too much about Qingshang."

Nangong Jingchen didn't tell him that he knew that his wife was pregnant, and he almost had an accident, because Princess Yeli only vaguely mentioned in the letter that she had not clearly told herself that Gu Qingshang was pregnant, so this matter still needs to wait for him to go back to confirm it.

"Okay." All the people in the capital know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are very affectionate and affectionate, even Shentang Bridge is no exception.

After eavesdropping from under their window, the village chief quickly returned to his house, and as soon as he got home and sat down on a chair and began to wipe his sweat and rest, he saw his son Da Zhuang returning with unsold prey.

"Dad, what did you do? Why are you sweating profusely? ”

Seeing his village chief's father sitting there sweating profusely panting, Da Zhuang asked with a blank face, and at the same time did not forget to find a corner to put down the unsold prey in his hand, then walked to the table and poured himself a bowl of water to drink.

"Da Zhuang, my father seems to have misunderstood the Chen Qiao brothers, Chen Qiao's brother has already married a wife, the women in our village should have seen that his brother is more handsome, so they want to come to the door to make love, but I didn't expect that people have already married wives, presumably the words they said are also true."

The more the village chief said this, the more he felt sorry in his heart, and he always felt that this matter was his fault from the beginning, and he should not go directly to the door without asking the reason.

"Dad, don't you know? Chen Qiao's brother has indeed married a wife a long time ago! It's just that his brother was injured when he went up the mountain to hunt, so they would have settled in our village, otherwise they wouldn't be in our village now! ”

Da Zhuang drank the water in the bowl in his hand and looked at his village chief father with an inexplicable expression.
