The first thing Du Yuniang and Yang Zheng did when they returned home was to quickly change their clothes and roast the fire, and then drink a bowl of hot ginger soup. The ginger soup was in her stomach and some juice was released, and Du Yuniang felt that she had relieved the cold.

Liuying made hot tea, prepared some refreshments and brought them up, "Madam, ask from the kitchen if you need to prepare food." ”

Du Yuniang hurriedly took a cup of tea and held it in her arms as if she had obtained a treasure, although her body was warm, but her fingertips were still cold.

"No, I ate late in the morning, and I'm not too hungry yet."

When Yang Zheng saw it, he was a little distressed, and said disapprovingly: "It's cold early this winter, so you should come back by carriage." When you go out in the future, the charcoal basin should be prepared, the soup woman should also be prepared, and a futon should be prepared in the car. ”

Du Yuniang didn't like him to nag, and listened with a smile while holding hot tea.

This kind of nagging care, she couldn't ask for it in her previous life! Listen to the heart-warming heart-warming, just right!

Liuying muttered in a low voice, "Mrs. should also listen to what the master has to say." ”

"Okay, one by two, preach with a straight face, like an old pedant." Du Yuniang said: "I'm not a three-year-old child, and I don't know the severity." ”

Yang Zheng signaled that Liuying could go down.

When Liu Ying left the house, she was pulled aside by Ma Pozi and Zhang Pozi, "Girl, does Mrs. know?" ”

"Nope!" Liuying looked back at the upper room and whispered, "It seems that my wife really doesn't remember at all, so let's wait for the evening!" ”

The two mothers-in-law nodded and went their separate ways.

After eating and drinking, Du Yuniang dozed off.

Yang Zheng said: "You sleep for a while, it's cold, rest more." ”

After saying this, he also felt that it was not very appropriate, what does it have to do with cold weather and rest? I don't think so.

It's just that Du Yuniang yawned for a long time, and she didn't notice the tension and omission in Yang Zheng's words at all.

"Well, I'll sleep for a while." Du Yuniang closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.

Yang Zheng helped her tuck the quilt, guarded for a while, and saw that she was indeed asleep, so he got off the kang and put on his shoes and went out of the main room.

The two cooks were instructed to make dinner.

On the birthday of the main wife, they didn't dare to be sloppy, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law summed it up and worked together to make eight dishes. Four meat and four vegetables, cold and hot, very rich.

The chef will not press the list for the time being.

Shan said that Yang Zheng found Wang Xiaohui and asked him to bring the things he bought before, and instructed: "After half an hour, I will arrange it." ”

What exactly is arranged, but it is not mentioned.

Wang Xiaohui already knew the content of the task, and after answering, he went to get the gift.

Yang Zheng took his apprentice out early in the morning, just to get a birthday gift for Du Yuniang, which was set early in the morning, and when it was the right day, Yang Zheng couldn't wait to take it.

"Master, why didn't you take it before?"

"Where did you put it before? Your master is shrewd! What if it's discovered, or if something happens? ”

"The master is clever." Wang Xiaohui's face was happy, "We're going to ask my sister for money in a while." “

"Monkey, remember and get things done."

Wang Xiaohui hurriedly said: "Yes, Dashan and I will prepare immediately." ”

Yang Zheng carried the things into the house, placed them in a conspicuous position, stood there and looked at them twice, no matter how he looked at them, he felt that the placement was not good-looking, not conspicuous enough, so he changed the position again, fiddled with it a few times, and then he was satisfied.

Du Yuniang slept until dark before waking up.

There is a lamp in the room, and the vision is dark.

Du Yuniang saw Yang Zheng sitting next to her, holding a book in one hand and leaning on the table with the other, supporting her head. He seemed to wake up as soon as he could, put down his book, and looked at himself.

"Do you want to drink water?" Yang Zheng's voice was gentle with a hint of old-fashionedness, but it was his temperament.

Du Yuniang only felt that her head was still a little heavy, but she was in good spirits.

"Why didn't you wake me up sooner, it's getting dark."

Yang Zheng seemed to laugh, "No defense, do you want to drink water?" ”

Du Yuniang closed her eyes and slowed down, and slowly sat up, "I want to drink." ”

Yang Zheng handed over the water, and Du Yuniang took two sips, feeling that her throat was more comfortable.

"Brother Yang, are you hungry, are you cooking in the kitchen?" Du Yuniang was mainly afraid that Yang Zheng would go hungry in order to accommodate her, men are different from women, of course, they are hungry faster.

Yang Zheng only said: "Don't prevent things, it's just right." ”

Du Yuniang didn't understand what it meant, so Yang Zheng said again: "I have something for you to see, let's go outside?" ”

"Outside? What to see? Du Yuniang felt as if she hadn't woken up, but she still obediently put on her shoes and let Yang Zheng put on a thick fox fur cloak for her.

The two men held hands and came to the courtyard.

Night had just fallen, but the courtyard was jubilant and red.

Under the eaves of the house are hung with lanterns, which are dazzling, illuminating the whole courtyard as bright as day.

"This is ......" Du Yuniang was surprised and delighted, so beautiful!

The lights were also lit up in the house.

Du Yuniang had an uncontrollable smile on her face, she really couldn't figure it out, what was Yang Zheng going to do, it was not yet the time for the New Year, what was she doing with such a festive arrangement inside and out?

"Daughter-in-law, have you forgotten what day it is?"

What day?

Du Yuniang looked at Yang Zheng and saw that there was ridicule in his eyes, so she thought about it.

"Yes...... Du Yuniang counted the days, and suddenly realized, "Is it my birthday?" After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh.

It's so confusing that I don't even remember this.

"I forgot about it." Du Yuniang's eyes were shining, "You remember." ”

It was a bonus.

As he was talking, he saw that the people in the house all walked out and stood in a neat row, "Congratulations to my wife, my birthday is healthy." ”

At this moment, Xiao Yu'er walked over with her signature - birthday cake. Liu Xing'er and Jiang Shi looked behind her, both with a happy face.

"Fifth sister-in-law, I wish you a safe and healthy birthday."

"May my wife be well in everything."

Du Yuniang had tears in her eyes.

At this moment, Gao Dashan and Wang Xiaohui also walked over, and the two of them knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Du Yuniang, "Master, I wish you every year today, every year and today, as blessed as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”

"Haha." Du Yuniang really doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, the words are appropriate, but at her current age, where can she use it?

"Alright, it's cool on the ground, get up quickly."

Only then did the two men get up.

Du Yuniang looked at Yang Zheng and asked, "But your idea?" "I really can't imagine that Brother Yang also has such a side, which makes her so happy.

"If you're happy, it's worth it." Yang Zheng said: "I asked people to prepare wine and food, let's go back to the house and have a few drinks." ”

Du Yuniang readily agreed.

Xiao Yu'er brought the cake into the house, and asked people to bring the finished wine and food one by one.

Du Yuniang asked people to cut the cake with a knife, so that everyone could also ask for a good fortune.

She didn't like the sweetness of the cream very much, but thanks to this birthday cake, it helped her open up the situation of Qianwei Zhai, so Du Yuniang also used a piece of face.

Yang Zheng only took one bite and stopped eating.

The subordinates were also interested, and they didn't dare to disturb the two masters, so they all withdrew.

Liu Xing'er, Jiang and others slipped away early.

There was only one of them, standing guard at the door, so that they could hear the call of the Lord's house.

The husband and wife sat down, looking at each other and smiling across the table.

"What are you laughing at?"

"What are you laughing at?"

The two had a tacit understanding, and they spoke at the same time.

Du Yuniang rarely showed a little bit of her little daughter's coquettishness, "You say it first." "I haven't drunk yet, I'm already three points drunk.

"Laugh at you for being a little fool and can't even remember your birthday. The bowl of longevity noodles in the morning is obviously a longevity noodle, and you yourself are in the eating business, and you can't even notice it. ”

Du Yuniang's face was a little rouge, and she whispered: "It's not that you are to blame." During this time, the little couple was like mixing oil in honey, Yang Zheng pestered her every day, making her energetic as before, and after dealing with some business matters, she had back pain, and she fell asleep.

Yang Zheng's ear power is very good, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and he was very satisfied with Du Yuniang's statement.

A certain ability is a great compliment for men.

"And what are you laughing at?"

Du Yuniang said: "Laugh at you for being such a stupid person, there are times when you are willing to put your mind to it." ”

"Idiot?"

Du Yuniang didn't know what to think, so she smiled and said: "You don't squint when you walk, you do things with a straight eye, and you usually treat people with a cold face, so that people will shy away from you, and you are not a fool." ”

"It also depends on the person! I'm never stupid to my mother. After Yang Zheng said this, he was also slightly embarrassed, put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly to cover up.

"I haven't drunk yet, I'm drunk." Du Yuniang felt that she was really a little panicked when she said this, she was an emotionally introverted person, and her heart was completely incomparable to that of a teenage girl. After listening to these words, in addition to joy, there was also some shyness and resistance.

Perhaps, the tacit understanding between her and Yang Zheng is that there is no need to say what she thinks in her heart, the other party can feel it.

"Let's eat the vegetables, it's all cold."

Du Yuniang held the pot and poured a glass of wine for Yang Zheng, and then filled the wine glass in front of her.

"I'll make an exception today and take a few sips." Du Yuniang rarely drinks alcohol, and when it comes to the New Year's Festival, she also drinks one or two glasses to deal with it.

"It's pear blossom white, it's not intoxicating, it doesn't matter if you drink a little less."

The couple gently touched their glasses.

Du Yuniang took a sip and put down the wine glass.

No matter how light the wine is, it is still wine, so it is better to drink less.

The two of them ate and drank wine at the same time, it was rare to have such a relaxed and good atmosphere, and they felt that the home-cooked dishes on the table had become delicacies and delicacy.

After eating six minutes full, Du Yuniang put down her chopsticks, saying that she couldn't eat.

Probably because she slept too much during the day, she was very energetic at this time, and she was not tired at all.

The husband and wife went to the East House, and Liu Ying hurriedly asked the mother-in-law to come in to clean up the mess, and she stood at the door of the East House.

The room was a little brighter than usual, Du Yuniang glanced twice, and saw Yang Zheng's gifts placed on several cabinets.

"Hey, what is this?"

Yang Zheng smiled, with a little satisfaction in his eyes, "Open it and see, like it or not." ”

Du Yuniang knew that this was something Yang Zheng gave her, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.

The box had some weight, and Du Yuniang took some effort to hold it steadily, remove the seal, and open the lid of the box, but saw something lying quietly on the flannel.

"This is ......" Du Yuniang picked up the contents of the box and couldn't help but ask Yang Zheng: "What is this?" ”

A three-inch-long copper-colored tube, with relief carvings on the outside, looks like a bamboo joint, slightly cool to start, and the weight is not light, like a carved ornament.

However, this copper tube is only the thickness of a large wolf pen barrel, and it should not be an ornament.

Hey?

Du Yuniang found that this bamboo carving was solid on one side and hollow on the other, and there seemed to be something in it.

"Look here." Yang Zheng asked her to take a closer look, "Here is this bamboo leaf at the bottom, there is a convex ~~ up, do you feel it?" ”

"Hmm." Du Yuniang said: "But a secret weapon? ”

Yang Zheng shook his head, asked her to straighten her arm, hold the copper pipe in her hand, and then press the bulge ~ on the bamboo leaf. I only heard the sound of 'brushing', and a cold light flashed suddenly, and in the hollow copper pipe, a sharp blade about a foot and a half long actually stretched out.

"It's ...... Stiletto? ”

"This is called the Pocket Sword, which was invented by a blacksmith who is good at making weapons on the rivers and lakes, and I asked someone to make this because I hope you can use it for self-defense." Yang Zheng said.

Du Yuniang was surprised and delighted, took the copper pipe to the open place in the center of the room, and waved it twice.

The sword light is like a shadow, and the sword edge is cold like ice.

"That's amazing." Du Yuniang asked again, "How to restore the original state?" ”

Yang Zheng personally demonstrated to her, "There is a circlip here, just press it again, and it will be withdrawn, you can try again." ”

Du Yuniang tried it, with a smile on her face, and said with great satisfaction: "It's really unfortunate, it's amazing." She tried twice and quickly mastered how to use copper pipes.

"Brother Yang, does this blade have a name?"

"It's a sword in a sleeve!"

Du Yuniang shook her head, "The meaning is right, but it doesn't sound good at all, so just call it Guan Zhu." ”

Actually, the name is not very good.

Yang Zheng felt that she was childish, "It's good if you're happy!" The apprehension in my heart was also put down, "I'm still afraid that you won't like it." ”

Du Yuniang suddenly thought of going to the street during the day.

"No wonder you want to take me to the store to choose some jewelry. However, this gift is much stronger than jewelry, and you gave me a doll. ”

The two pairs of dolls were placed on the camera obscrama by Du Yuniang.

Yang Zheng's eyes darkened slightly, "That's just a wood carved doll, you like to be like that?" Yu Niang, I'll send you a few real dolls, okay. ”

Du Yuniang was about to refute, but was suddenly stopped by Yang Zheng and picked up.

"Brother Yang...... "This person, who was serious just now, turned his head and became a scoundrel."

"Shhhh Be quiet, you're in good spirits anyway, and I'm not sleepy, so let's go to bed! ”

Only then did Du Yuniang understand why Yang Zheng didn't call her during the day, and let her sleep in the dark. Someone, this is holding back the big move......
