Chapter 178: A man's heart is sick, and the autumn colors are sent off
And in fact, Ai Laohu did this, he got up and hugged the woman in front of him who was preaching at a glance in his arms, his tall body completely caged the woman's petite in it, regardless of the woman's resistance, rubbed the woman's neck with his stubble chin, and whispered in her ear to promise, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to live a lifetime, and I will live with you for a lifetime!" β
After three months, the renovation of the newly bought house in Zhujian Lane was completed, and I went to see it with Ai Laohu. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
The renovated place of the new house is mainly in the third entrance, that is, the one with the conservatory garden. Autumn Colors built the house here, hired people to build a two-story pavilion, and used earth heating in this building.
After entering the house after the lower steps on the two floors, the middle is the eight-fold red lacquer screen with the upper half of the hollow, bypassing the screen is a more spacious living room, there is a round table and round stool in the middle, high chairs and small tables are placed on both sides, there is a Western oil painting hanging in the middle, behind the high chair is two rows of Bogu shelves, the back of the left Bogu frame is the master bedroom divided into two rooms, the room behind the Bogu frame on the right is the study, a small space is placed with a screen, and the area is one-third smaller than the master bedroom.
Bypassing the main seat of the living room, there is a wall arm on the left, and a pantry connected to the small kitchen and a staircase on the second floor on the right. On the second floor, it is also a small three-room house layout, with a hall house in the middle, and two rooms with the same pattern on the left and right. In front of the house is an open space with a fence that rises above the waist of an adult.
"This is the result of months of tossing and turning?" Ai Laohu looked at it and asked, "Except for the extra floor, it's no different!" β
Autumn Color's eyes widened, "How can it be no different?" Don't you see that the windows on these two floors of my building are glazed with wooden latticework? The house is much brighter, isn't it? And you don't have to burn charcoal in the house anymore to light the stove and it can be warm, it changes a lot, okay! β
Ai Laohu looked at the window, the sunlight penetrated through the glass straight into his eyes, he suddenly felt so dazzling, and only perfunctory in the face of the autumn color: "Well, it's really big, that Du Niangzi instigated you to get it, right?" This glass must also be some inferior goods, or there is such a light color of the glass, almost transparent. β
"It's not inferior! This is the high-grade glass that Du Niangzi and her father brought back from Nanyang, and a piece is more than ten taels of silver! It's just that Daliang people don't like it, so they can't use this kind of glass to build that big conservatory for Du Niangzi, but in the end it cheapened me. I saw that there were those glazed tiles in the warehouse that were broken into small pieces, and I felt that it was a pity to throw them away, so I asked Liu Song to make the panes out of wood according to the size of the glazed tiles. β
"This way the room is bright and beautiful, and it saves the uselessness of the glass there! You see, the windows on the south side of the study are all large, and the other rooms are mostly small, and there are not as many glazed places in the north as in the south. Do you know that when Du Niangzi saw the house I built, she shouted and regretted giving me those small pieces of glass! β
Ai Laohu really doesn't want to revolve around the glass anymore, a piece of glass comes down to a dozen taels of silver, almost catching up with his half a year's salary, the conservatory plus the glass money of this house is enough to earn himself for decades. It's really sad to think about it, obviously he is the head of the family, but he is so much worse than Qiu Niang in terms of money.
"What are you going to do with a second floor?" Ai Laohu asked.
Qiu Se said as a matter of course: "Of course, it's for our children to live, and when we have another child in the future, we will change it again, and come out a few more rooms." I don't want to be like other people's families, living in a separate yard for my children, far away, and the children don't know what they have done. β
Ai Laohu's lips moved, and he asked with a smile, "What?" Are you planning to live here with your children? β
"You ...... too" Halfway through speaking, the autumn color suddenly stopped, and glanced at this awkward man, who must be a macho sick again, so he changed his tone and said: "Our family occasionally comes here to play, if it's too late, let's stay like this!" β
Ai Laohu smiled and asked Qiu Se again, "Then you have also repaired the other rooms?" β
"Yes." Qiu Se nodded, "Anyway, it's all cleaned up, just clean up completely, this house has not been inhabited for a few years, and the ice cellar has been repaired, we can use our own ice this summer, as well as warehouses and granaries, or you can go and have a look." β
"What do I see it doing? I don't live here anyway. Ai Laohu raised his feet and walked out, "I'd better go to the conservatory and see what dishes I can eat at night." β
Vanilla came over with Qianqian, who was tired of playing upstairs and downstairs, and asked Qiushi in a low voice, "Madam, why does the master seem to be unhappy?" β
Qiu Se sighed, "He's not unhappy, but he hates this house and doesn't have the surname Ai?" Come, Qianqian, go pick vegetables with Daddy and go home. As he spoke, he hugged Qianqian and followed Ai Laohu to the greenhouse.
"Not surnamed Ai?" Vanilla scratched her head, feeling that she didn't understand very well, and seeing that the autumn color was far away, she hurriedly followed after a few steps.
Time went forward for another four months without surprise or joy, and in the blink of an eye it was September. On this day, Ai Laohu came back from the government and said that he was going on a business trip to the capital.
"What? Escort in the tax grain? Aren't you the cashier? It's not a government soldier, what are you escorting? After listening to Ai Laohu's explanation, Qiu Se was both surprised and worried.
"It's not an escort, it's a follow-up. What are you yelling about,? Ai Laohu glanced at the autumn color, "You hurry up and pack my bags, I will follow the fleet tomorrow." β
"Tomorrow? Why is it in such a hurry? β
Ai Laohu bit his ears impatiently, "Actually, Master Ma has a boat to send back to his home, and he is afraid that others will know about it and go with the tax grain, and it will be inconvenient for others to go, so he looked for me, and Cui Tent and Ma Ye are following, I am a nominal one." At the end, he asked loudly, "You know all this time, right?" β
Qiu Se rubbed his sore ears that were shocked and glared at him angrily, "Got it, I'm going to clean up for you now, so that the vanilla can wrap some dumplings on the road." β
"No, why am I so awkward when I listen to you!" Ai Laohu came over and pinched Qiu's cheek.
"As much as you want!" Autumn slapped his hand away and staggered to rummage through the suitcase.
Ai Laohu slapped the woman's plump buttocks with his hand, and smiled ambiguously when Qiushi looked back at him: "I'll 'clean up' you well at night." β
Qiu's old face flushed, and he scolded with a smile and went to clean up his things.
Early the next morning, Qiu Se took Qianqian to personally send Ai Laohu to the Yamen.
At the gate of the yamen, there were already Ma Ye and three carriages waiting.
Seeing the autumn colors, Ma Ye smiled and asked, "Is Mrs. Ai worried or what?" I actually delivered it myself! β
"My father-in-law followed Ma Ye all the way, what else do I have to worry about?" Autumn said with a smile.
"Qiu Niang, you're here." Qiu Se wanted to say something, but suddenly heard someone shouting to himself, raised his head to look, and saw a person walking out of a larger carriage behind Ma Ye, who was actually Qing Niang in a cloak, standing in place, looking at himself with a smile.
Qiu Se was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she was here, but still took Qianqian forward to salute, "I took my daughter to see off my father-in-law, I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Ma here." β
It's rare that Qing Niang didn't correct Qiu Shi as usual this time and don't call herself Mrs. Ma, but nodded directly, "Oh, I'm here to see off my niece, she's been here for a long time, it's time to send her back." β
Speaking of Qingniang's niece, Qiu Shi remembered Fang Su who dedicated himself in the bamboo house in Mafu Garden, and I don't know if the niece this time is the niece.
said that Cao C Cao C arrived, isn't the woman who got off the carriage behind Qing Niang Fang Su! I saw that she was dressed plainly, and she was completely no longer the brilliance she had at the banquet, but she walked quickly to Qingniang and said fiercely: "You wait, I will come back!" β
Qing Niang's face became very ugly, and she cleared her throat, "Ah Su, your aunt is sick, it's better to go back early, I'll let Mama Jiang accompany you back, and she will take care of you all the way!" β
"Where's the little color next to me?" Fang Su first asked, and then roared: "You are not afraid of retribution if you care about people's lives!" β
"Hugh is talking nonsense, Xiaocai died of illness by herself." Qing Niang glanced at both sides as she spoke, and quickly brought the servant woman up and took Fang Su away.
Qing Niang smiled apologetically at Qiu Se, "It really made you see the joke." β
In fact, if Fang Su hadn't come over too quickly just now, he would definitely have been able to avoid this scene, hearing Qing Niang's slightly embarrassed explanation, Qiu Se kindly helped her cover up, "Hey, who doesn't have a few best relatives?" β
Thinking of the superb Ding family, Qingniang's depressed mood is also much better.
Soon Ma Ye set off, and Ai Laohu also took the time to come over and say to Qiu Se, "Go back quickly, I'll be back in half a month at most." β
"Daddy, you have to help me buy something delicious to come back!" Qianqian shouted while waving her hand.
"Got it!" Ai Laohu waved his hand and turned around and followed the team.
Autumn suddenly remembered something, handed Qianqian to Vanilla first, and then trotted all the way to catch up with the man.
"What else are you doing?" was coaxed by his colleagues, Ai Laohu couldn't get off the stage, and got out of the car angrily.
"Well, the lady who walked with you is the one I said was doing something out of the ordinary in the Ma Mansion, you have to stay away from her, don't you listen?" Ignoring everyone's warm eyes, Qiu Shi leaned on Ai Laohu's ear and said.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Ai Laohu was really embarrassed to be looked at by everyone, so he drove away Qiushi, turned around and got into the car, and ran to the dock outside the city with everyone.
It wasn't until the figure was out of sight that Autumn Colors returned to the side of the car and hugged thousands of people to get into the car.
"Mother, when does Daddy have to come back?" Qianqian asked suddenly.
"Don't worry, your dad will be back in half a month." Qing Niang came over and took Qianqian's words and replied.
