Chapter 221: Appreciation Banquet
The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn red apricot vegetarian girl!
A pregnant woman is already lighter and more flexible than ordinary women, and Xue Su is pregnant with twins in her belly, even more so. A pair of hands can touch the flesh on the chest and abdomen, but they can't touch the back, so in desperation, they can only call Qiu Ju into the house to help.
In order to avoid pressing her abdomen, the woman lay on her side, revealing a smooth and flawless back, and her body still had a faint peach fragrance.
The black pressed hair, the snow tender skin, Rao is Qiu Ju is a woman, at this time she also felt dry hair in her mouth, hurriedly lowered her head, used her nails to pull out some light cyan cream, rubbed it twice in the palm of her hand, and then wiped it on the back of the master.
When Chu Qinghe walked into the room, he happened to take this scene into his eyes.
The footsteps alarmed Qiu Ju, this maid has been serving by the side of the two masters for many years, and she still has the eyesight, knowing that as long as the Hou Ye is there, the work of serving the lady will not be her turn, it is better to leave the house earlier, so as not to be an eyesore.
After Qiu Jufu saluted, he immediately retreated against the wall, only two husbands and wives were left in the master bedroom, Xue Su turned his head and faced the man's bearded face, somehow, there was a faint shame in his heart, and his little hand held the brocade quilt and covered his body tightly.
Chu Qinghe stood on the edge of the bed, caressing his towering belly through the fluffy and soft cotton balls, thinking that it was the blood and bones of their husband and wife that were pregnant here, and his heart couldn't help but surge.
Glancing at the delicate porcelain box placed on the wooden cabinet next to him, the man's throat moved, and he said seriously:
"We don't have to fake our hands for what we can, I'll wash my hands and help you apply the texture cream."
After being a husband and wife for so many years, how could Xue Su not know this person's virtues? couldn't help but smack at the moment, the jade white little face turned crimson, and lay motionless in place.
Chu Qinghe carefully washed off the sweat stains on his palms with a flower soap, returned to his little wife, and carefully smeared it according to the scene he had just seen, and there was no omission.
"The generals have discussed and said that they will invite you to the camp and hold a banquet to thank you."
Hearing this, Xue Su was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, these women took out the money in their hands and bought a large amount of food, which can be regarded as relieving people's worries, and they are afraid that they will not go if they don't thank the sergeants.
Xue Su pursed his lips absently and asked:
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a female dependent to go to the barracks, right?"
Chu Qinghe smiled and explained:
"The border pass has been affected by war all the year round, although it is one of the territories of Dayu, but it is far less discipline-oriented than the capital, and the defense of men and women is not strict, and people who are more particular care about this, and the people of Pingtou will not take it to heart at all."
When he first entered the city, Xue Suzeng lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and found that there were not many female dependents wearing hats and veils on the street, and the bright little faces were presented in front of everyone, and the atmosphere was more open than in the capital.
"Counting me and Mrs. Ling, there are more than a dozen female dependents who are going to go, but that Ling Kite is not a good thing, when the time comes, I will tear off her face, don't worry about me!"
Pinching the tip of Xiu Ting's nose, Chu Qinghe said in a dumb voice:
"When have I ever dealt with you? But Su Niang don't make a big mess, otherwise Ben Hou will have to get a few points of interest from elsewhere to compensate......"
finally finished wiping the line cream, and the couple was obsessed with it for a long time, and then they hugged each other and stopped.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the thank-you banquet, Xue Su was so beautiful, he was very concerned about his appearance, and as soon as the sky was bright, he got up from the bed with a sleepy feeling and sat in front of the makeup box to carefully tweak.
During this period of time in the border city, she did not go out of the gate all day long, and she had a lot of leisure every day, so she simply went to buy polished rice, and grinded it into fine rice flour with a mill, except for a few pearls, she did not use other spices, so as not to damage her body.
Applying the fat powder to his face, Xue Su took the snail Dai and traced his eyebrows, and then wiped the tender red lip grease on the lip flap. Qiu Ju stood in front of her, her eyes were almost glued to it, it stands to reason that after a woman is pregnant, there should be spots on her cheeks, the master is different, the skin and flesh are crystal clear, comparable to snow, if it is not for makeup, where can she use fat powder?
Seeing the little girl's trance-like appearance, Xue Su pursed her lips, tapped her head with her fingertips, and commanded:
"Go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, I'm a little hungry."
Hearing this, Qiu Ju came back to her senses, nodded hurriedly, trotted to the kitchen, and walked back with a food box.
In addition to the sticky and soft chicken porridge in the mahogany food box, there is also a plate of sour radish, which is white and raw, revealing a strong sour aroma, which is very appetizing.
Xue Su ate in the room unhurriedly, and when it was three o'clock in the morning, Chu Qinghe came back with a fist, ate two plates of steamed dumplings, and then took his little wife to the carriage and rushed straight to the direction of the barracks.
At the same time, a quarrel broke out in Zhao Fuzhong again.
Ling Yuan held the entry for buying grain in her hand, and her eyes showed a faint blue-black, which was caused by her staying up late to make accounts in the past two days, even if she applied a thick layer of fat powder, it could not be completely covered, but it was like pasting a wall, making the originally beautiful face a little cheesy.
At this time, the woman's whole body trembled, her eyes were full of bloodshots, and she said hatefully, "Where did I spend your five hundred taels of silver, it turned out that it was all given to the little prostitute outside the house!" Zhao Lei, you actually raise an outer room, are you worthy of me? ”
While scolding Ling Kite, he pounced, clenched his fists with both hands, and tore and beat the man in front of him.
Zhao Lei is not a good character, otherwise he would not hide it from his wife, and raised a young and tender girl outside. If he hadn't felt that Ling Yuan had a pungent temper, he would have brought people back a long time ago, how could he spend so much money every month and secretly have private meetings with people?
pushed the crazy woman away, Zhao Lei scolded:
"It's only been two years since you married the Zhao family, do you calculate how many maids you have killed? Also sell people to the kiln. Isn't a cruel woman like you afraid of retribution? If you don't have a good uncle, get out of here as soon as possible! ”
After speaking, Zhao Lei turned around and walked out, stretched out his hand to smooth the folds on his shirt, and his eyes were full of disgust.
Ling Yuan couldn't wait to teach that vixen a good lesson, but today was a thank-you banquet in the army, and she couldn't make a mistake, otherwise how would she gain a foothold in the city in the future?
Taking a deep breath, after the mood calmed down, Ling Yuan took the maid out of the door.
She and Zhao Lei are clearly husband and wife, but they got into two carriages, which made people think about it, but it was not easy to inquire today.
Ling Yuan stepped into the camp tent with his front foot, and the Fuguo Marquis and his wife arrived with their hind feet.
Looking at Xue Su, who was still bright and shining even if she was pregnant, and then looking at the man holding his wife's arm, the ladies present felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, they previously felt that Xue didn't know the general situation, and he firmly grasped the heart of his husband with only a pair of skins.
But at this time, I found that the two of them respected each other like guests, and it was not at all that one side was flattering and the other was arrogant. After all, people's intentions can't be faked, and the Marquis of Fu Guo obviously loves the Xue family to the bones, otherwise with his identity and status, why should he act on the spot?
Xue Su was not a blind person, so she naturally saw everyone's expressions clearly, but she didn't care, she sat on the Eight Immortals chair by herself, and smiled at Ling Mu beside her.
Ling's mother smiled back, and her good impression of Xue Su in her heart was even stronger, after all, she saw the accounts of buying grain clearly, and only one-tenth of the 10,000 taels of silver was taken out by her, and the rest of the bulk was borne by Mrs. Chu, and she used these silver to buy sixty carts of grain, which was really frugal.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip gently, noticing Ling Yuan's gloomy gaze, Ling's mother couldn't help frowning, only to feel that this niece was becoming more and more unpleasant.
Even if he has cut off contact with the Zhao Mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, Ling Yuan is still the Ling family, this can never be changed, if he doesn't persuade him, I'm afraid he will implicate their husband and wife.
A number of military attachés and their wives walked together to the tent, and soon the seats were filled.
Chu Qinghe, as the head coach, suddenly stood up, toasted the ladies with a wine bowl in his hand, and said loudly:
"At present, thanks to the help of your wives, the hidden dangers in the army have been solved, and when the war is over, Chu will send the items of donated silver to the capital, and the prince will reward you."
After that, Chu Qinghe drank all the clear wine in the bowl, and his every move was very arrogant, but he didn't drink too much, lest the Huns suddenly attack the door and be defenseless.
Xue Su and Ling's mother's accounts had already been submitted, and Ling Yuan, under the urging of the female dependents, made false accounts overnight, and the smile on her face was stiff at this moment, her fingertips were cold, and she sent the wooden box forward.
The soldiers opened the box, took out the thin paper inside, and held it in both hands and placed it on the table.
Xue Su glanced at it, and when he saw the top account, a glimmer of light crossed his eyes.
If she remembered correctly, the women had gathered together a total of two thousand taels of silver, but now it had become three thousand taels, and there was a sudden change, and she didn't believe it if she didn't get tired of it.
The red lips hooked slightly, and Xue Su deliberately raised his voice, "A few days ago, Sister-in-law Ling and I have already posted the entry in the barracks, and the rest of the wives have done good deeds, so they can't hide it, and they should be treated equally." ”
As she spoke, her moist apricot eyes stared at Ling Yuan, and she secretly sneered when she saw that this woman was sitting uncomfortably, and big drops of cold sweat were oozing from her forehead.
Her cheeks flushed, and Ling Yuan opened her mouth to refute, but before she could speak, she saw Xue Su pick up the account, flipped through it a few times casually, and asked with a smile:
"I remember someone said that a total of 2,000 taels of silver were gathered, why didn't the amount of silver taken out by each household match this amount?"
Hearing the woman's delicate and soft voice, Ling Yuan's heart thumped, slapped her palm fiercely, and forcibly quibbled: "At the beginning, the concubine checked the silver money wrongly, and it was counted as two thousand taels, after all, she had never been discussed in the past, and something went wrong for a while, so please don't be surprised by Mrs. Chu." ”
