Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 68: I Won't Treat You Badly
The sun rises and the moon sets, and eight days pass
According to the Yamen of the Inspectorate, in the guest room where Xiang Bu's political envoy lived, Gong Mu'er sat at the table, and the needle and thread in his hand flew up, leaving fine golden dots on the purple robe.
The windows in the house are wide open, and the autumn sun shines into the house, but it can no longer completely cover the cool wind, even if you are in the south, you still can't avoid the time of day.
Xiang Wenyao sat on the side and watched intently, an anxious look appeared on his face from time to time, his lips opened and closed silently, and he stopped talking.
Gong Mu'er also found out about this situation, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Master, what's wrong?" It seems that you have something to say to the concubine? ”
Only then did Xiang Wenyao speak: "Madam, I heard news from the palace early this morning, the emperor is ready to return to Beijing, but it seems that the robes and clothes may not be finished for a while." ”
Gong Mu'er was also taken aback and asked, "Didn't you say at first that the emperor was going to recuperate here for a period of time?" Why are you leaving all of a sudden? ”
"Well, who's to say it's not! Just listen to the meaning of the emperor's side, the emperor should not adapt to the water and soil, the dragon body has not been very comfortable, and for the sake of today, he can only return to the capital as soon as possible, so that he can self-treat without medicine. Xiang Wenyao spoke slowly.
Gong Mu'er panicked when he heard this, and said: "Xianggong, it's my needlework that can't be helped, and I can't do it as soon as possible, so it's all ...... Ah! ”
As Gong Mu'er was talking, her heart was in a mess, and there was a mistake in her hand, and her slender jade finger was pierced in a small eye, and a bead of blood gushed out of the wound.
Looking at the blood on her hands, Gong Mu'er's tears fell and she sobbed aggrievedly.
Xiang Wenyao heard his wife's exclamation, and immediately walked to Gong Mu'er's side, seeing this scene, he leaned down and held Gong Mu'er's hand in the palm of his hand, gently sucked the blood beads into his mouth, and raised his head to smile softly at Gong Mu'er.
"Silly madam, is the emperor's itinerary something that you and I can change? If the emperor is leaving, then our mind will definitely not be able to be completed, what does it have to do with you? Xiang Wenyao gently stroked Gong Mu'er's hair and said softly.
"But, if I hurry up at hand, then maybe I can catch up before the emperor leaves, or I can sleep less, and I can show off a rough idea now." Gong Muer said reproachfully.
Xiang Wenyao pressed his wife's head into his chest and said comfortingly: "Madame, don't say stupid things anymore, even if you can't present it to the saint in person, you can also send it to the saint with the tribute or my song, what does it matter sooner or later, it is enough for the emperor to see our mind." ”
said, Xiang Wenyao general

The tears on the cheeks of the lady were wiped away, and her delicate face was still as moving as when she was newly married, and the two looked directly into each other's eyes, turning into sweet and greasy affection.
Gong Mu'er's face turned red, and she gently turned her head and said, "Xianggong, you get up quickly, I have to try it today no matter what, it's always different to send it in person." ”
"Mu'er, you don't have to be like this." Xiang Wenyao persuaded.
"Lord Domain? Is the lord here? Zeng Hui begged to see! A voice came from the door, and Zeng Hui shouted with his back to his back.
Gong Mu'er's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly pushed Xiang Wenyao out, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sewed up stitches and threads, and slowly rotated the gold spool beside her.
Xiang Wenyao tidied up his official uniform and went out, there was no embarrassed look on his face, he was worthy of the face that had been polished for a long time, he whispered a few words with Zeng Hui, turned his head to look at Gong Mu'er, and his expression of pity flashed.
"Mu'er, the yamen has official business, I'm going to deal with it, don't be too tired yourself." Xiang Wenyao said.
Gong Mu'er hummed softly, and Zeng Hui's voice was heard in her ears.
"The way of the husband and wife of the lord of the clan is really a model for the lower officials, and if you can have half of the virtuous wife of your sister-in-law, I will burn high incense."
Xiang Wenyao smiled, and the two gradually moved away.
Gong Mu'er's face was still ruddy, and she was happy after hearing Zeng Hui's words, and even the movements in her hands were much faster, and the gold thread slowly bottomed out, revealing the white jade spool in the middle.
Gong Mu'er found that the gold thread had been used up, looked at the spool with some annoyance, and shouted anxiously: "Cui'er! Come over to Cui'er! ”
Hearing the shouts of the lady, the maid who had gone out to avoid hurriedly returned to the house, looking at the anxious look of the housewife, she didn't know why for a while, and she also panicked.
"What's the matter, ma'am? Are you getting a needle prick? Or is it hurting somewhere? I'll call the doctor now, don't worry. ”
"No, I'm fine, it's that the gold thread is gone, you go to the Hongbao cloth shop and let them send a few rolls back, they will use it more today." Gong Mu'er said anxiously.
Hearing that it wasn't Mrs. Hurt, Cui'er, who was originally anxious, loosened her tight heartstrings: "You can scare me to death, I just called so urgently, I thought you were injured, I'll go now, you can wait at home with peace of mind." ”
Gong Mu'er nodded first, then quickly shook his head, stood up, and said anxiously: "Last time, that guy made a mistake and delayed the construction period, this time I will personally pick it up, so as not to have another accident." ”
Of course, Cui'er has no opinion, crisp

agreed, then got up and called for the carriage, and the master and servant hurried out.
In the Hongbao cloth store, Shopkeeper Wang was lying on the recliner with Erlang's legs crossed, and Gou Jian was squatting aside with a flattering expression at this time, and his hands were gently beaten on his legs with fists.
When Gou Jian thrashed to the numb position, Shopkeeper Wang snorted and sat up.
"You little rabbit, are you going to hammer your legs? I know it's a hemp bone position, and I still use so much force! Get out of here, you're not paid today. Shopkeeper Wang glared at Gou Jian fiercely and said.
Gou Jian had an aggrieved expression on his face, and said with a little anger that had been buried deeply: "Shopkeeper, I've been very careful, you have deducted my two-month construction period in the past few days." ”
Shopkeeper Wang's eyes were crooked, and he asked, "What's the matter, I'm not happy to say a few words to you if I did something wrong?" Don't you want to do it anymore? I'm telling you if you don't want to do it, get out, I don't raise idlers. ”
"Gou Jian! Hey, the shopkeeper is good, I'm a little uncomfortable, I want Gou Jian to accompany me to see the doctor, can you see it? ”
Gou Jian was about to argue, when Kuanbo's voice came from outside the door, he watched Kuanbo enter the door with tears in his eyes, and talked to Shopkeeper Wang in a low voice.
When Shopkeeper Wang saw Kuanbo coming, he also had an expression of awe, and a sense of satisfaction arose, and he looked at the old man with a pout.
"If you're not in good health, don't go out all the time, we also have to do business, how can we go to the doctor with you all day long." If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy for you to come from a foreign country, I would have opened it up to Gou Jian a long time ago with this work attitude. ”
Kuanbo smiled flatteringly, and his body swayed with the motion of nodding.
"You're right, thank you for giving our grandparents and grandchildren a bite to eat, Lao Er is grateful."
Gou Jian stood aside and bowed his head and remained silent.
Shopkeeper Wang saw that the heat was almost over, so he said: "Since grandpa is sick, let's go, it's enough to see a doctor for half an hour, right?" ”
"Enough is enough, thank you so much." Kuanbo said with a happy smile.
"You kid, why don't you know how to speak, thank you quickly." Kuanbo said to Gou Jian.
"Okay, okay, thank you, working under me, you will definitely not treat him badly, go early and come back early." Shopkeeper Wang said generously.
"Yes, yes, definitely, thank you shopkeeper!" Kuanbo took Gou Jian and left.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at the backs of the two, smiled, and the recliner under him squeaked and swayed.
