Chapter 60: Homecoming
She put away all his things in a frustrated manner, out of sight and out of mind.
Seeing her behaving like this, Zizhu hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Qiao Wan replied while collecting it: "Since he is not here, let's put away these utensils first, so as not to occupy space." ”
Zizhu wondered, this house is spacious everywhere, where does it take up space?
She immediately reacted that eighty percent of the lady had a grudge against the Lord and was angry with these things that could not be spoken. The Lord is really, there has been no news for more than a month, and it seems that he has completely put his wife behind, why did he not return after the victory early in the morning, could it be that he was out and happy?
"Madame, I'll help you." Zizhu said that she was naturally on Qiao Guan's side.
Qiao Wan watched all traces of Zhou Yu disappear in this room, and finally felt relieved, and the whole person was refreshed.
In the evening, Xun'er came over and brought two grasshoppers to Qiao Wan to play with him.
Qiao Wan thought to himself that in the past few months when Zhou Yu was away, no one cared about his homework, and he didn't know what his studies had become like if they had been wasted.
So he lowered his face and said solemnly: "Mo Xi, first write all the articles taught by the master in the past few months. ”
Zhou Xun was not happy when he heard it, pouted, tugged at her sleeve and said coquettishly: "Mother, Xun'er just had a serious illness, and she almost lost her life......"
Qiao Wan didn't eat his set, and said coldly: "Your father will check your homework sooner or later when he comes back, if you don't study well now, if he gets angry then, even I won't be able to protect you." ”
Zhou Xun thought of being greedy for fun before, and left behind a day's homework, and was slapped in the palm by his father with a ring ruler, he had never eaten such pain, his little hands were high and swollen like a steamed bun, and he couldn't hold it together. Thinking of this, he trembled instantly, lowered his head in mourning, and looked loveless.
In his heart, his father will always teach him to read and write, ride a horse and shoot arrows, but he will not care about his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. It wasn't until Qiao Wan appeared that he finally realized what it was like to be pampered, and he knew how happy it was to have a mother.
But how did the gentle mother become so fierce now......
Qiao Wan had already brought the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and when he saw him drooping his head, he didn't look lost, his heart softened, and he leaned down and stroked his head, "I'll write one tonight, and my mother will play with you after I finish writing." ”
When Zhou Xun heard this, he instantly cheered and pestered her to hug.
Qiao Wan had no choice but to hold him up, he already felt struggling, and sighed unconsciously: "I won't be able to hold you in two years!" ”
Zhou Xun chuckled: "My mother is too thin, I have to eat more meat to do it." ”
Qiao Wan was depressed and pouted: "I eat meat very well, but I didn't order it myself." ”
She put him down and smiled, "Hurry up and write an article." ”
Zhou Xun promised that as long as Qiao Wan could play with him, he would be very happy......
It was late at night, and everyone in the mansion had already fallen asleep, but there was an earth-shattering knock outside the door.
The guards on duty hurriedly got up, if it wasn't a major emergency, who would dare to knock on the door of the Zhou Mansion in the middle of the night.
After the guard opened the door, by the light of the lantern, he saw Zhou Yu standing outside the door.
"Lord...... Lord! He called excitedly, "Why did you come back in the middle of the night?" ”
Zhou Yu threw the burden on him, and hurriedly walked in, "Madame, how are you doing?" ”
He heard about the plague in Wu County halfway through, and he couldn't sleep well, so he rode his horse back alone in the starry night.
The guard hurriedly replied, "It's all fine now." ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yu's footsteps froze, frowned and asked, "Was it bad before?" ”
The guard was very surprised, he didn't expect Mrs. Gongzi to be seriously ill, and he didn't know anything about it.
So I quickly reported to him that they were suffering from the plague, especially Childe, who was so sick that he almost died.
Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard that, and rushed to Zhou Xun's room without waiting for him to finish speaking.
It wasn't until he saw his son lying there well, his face ruddy and his breathing evenly, that his fear calmed down a little, and he reached out to test the temperature of his forehead, and the heat of his skin was normal.
He held his small hand stretched out of the quilt with both hands, as if holding an extremely precious treasure. "Thank you for your mercy." He closed his eyes and prayed reverently.
Afraid that he would catch a cold, he quickly put his son's hand back in the quilt and folded the quilt for him again. When he walked to the door, he reluctantly looked back before closing the door and leaving.
It was cold in winter, so Qiao Wan didn't let the maids be on duty outside the door at night, so Zhou Yu walked in all the way unimpeded.
The room was warm, and a faint sweet fragrance lingered, making the corners of his mouth unconsciously raise a smile. He was afraid of waking Qiao Wan up, so he landed very lightly, walked slowly to the bedside, and quietly felt the sound of her light and steady breathing.
Her unique sweet fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, as if she was greeting him cordially, and his heart moved, following the source of the breathing sound, he lowered his head and kissed it.
The darker it became, the stronger the scent of her body and the touch on her lips became, and the softest corner of his heart was finally filled, a feeling that haunted him for a long time, and he thought of it going crazy every night.
Qiao Wan lingered with him in a half-dream, and muttered aggrievedly, "I will never pay attention to you again." ”
Zhou Yu was stunned, and the feeling of guilt and distress came over him, and he coaxed softly: "I'm sorry, I should have come back sooner......"
Qiao Wan didn't respond, he waited for a long time, only the sound of her even breathing echoed in the darkness, and he knew that what she had just said was a dream.
He was stunned, as if he had been hit in the heart by her soft punch, sour.
He lit the red candle beside the bed, and no longer cared about anything else, and now wanted to see his little beauty. The room brightened up instantly, she had lost a lot of weight, her little face was not as big as his palm, and she was nesting pitifully at the head of the bed, frowning even when she slept, so she didn't look aggrieved.
He sighed in distress and reached out to caress her face, the warm skin sliding across his cold fingertips, as smooth as jade.
She didn't react, and slept soundly.
"I'm not awake—" Zhou Yu sneered, and simply sat down on the side of the bed, her fingers gently sweeping her slender and thick eyelashes, as if playing with the fluff of a young bird.
Qiao Wan opened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "Don't you know me?" ”
Qiao Wan bit his lip and looked at him resentfully, his eyes became redder and redder, and he was slowly covered with a layer of mist, flickering in the candlelight, hanging in suspense.
"Why are you only coming back now...... she pouted aggrievedly, and when she said the back, she couldn't whimper.
Her pitiful appearance made Zhou Yu feel that she was really a heinous sinner. Knowing this, he wouldn't care about others, and he should have rushed back non-stop.
