Chapter 116: Return
Time passed several days unconsciously, and the wedding between Hong Fang and Yinhua was scheduled for the last day of March after the discussion of the two families, which was the time when the spring flowers were blooming.
He Xiaoqiao has been busy learning from Liu Yidao what to prepare for getting married, occasionally going to the gambling house to count the more and more real money and silver that he hoards all day.
The principle of the slot machine is relatively complicated, and the craftsmen can only think about doing it according to the general idea proposed by He Xiaoqiao, but they have failed several times until now. As for the easier Monopoly wheel, it has been made into practice, although it looks a little simple, but the gold absorption effect is definitely first-class. Many people came to the rich gambling house to take a look at this fresh and easy-to-use thing, but they accidentally paid for their luck and gambled on it.
The lake pavilion in the second courtyard has been renovated, and I plan to plant lotus flowers and put some koi in the lake when the weather is warm in a few days.
It was a sunny day, a rare cloudless sky, and the sky was as blue as a pure jewel, and the sun was warm on people.
He Xiaoqiao came out of the kitchen, holding a handful of pumpkin pulps in his hand, planning to wash the melon seeds inside and put them in the sun to dry them, and keep them as seeds.
There are several large pumpkins in the kitchen, all of which were sent by Tianjing and the princess the day before yesterday.
I learned from my father-in-law who came to deliver the goods that these pumpkins were a tribute from overseas travelers, and because I heard that they were something to eat, Jinghe took out half of the one that was distributed to him without saying a word, and asked people to send them to the palace.
He Xiaoqiao almost jumped up with joy when he saw the pumpkin, and in order to thank Jinghe for his understanding, he immediately cooked some pumpkin pie and a pumpkin brand as a return gift.
And they all rejoiced.
"Miss, let the slave and maid come to these trivial matters, you can go back to the room and warm your hands first." Cai Lian caught up from behind, took the pumpkin in He Xiaoqiao's hand, and pushed her to the house.
He Xiaoqiao looked at his ten fingers that had been frozen like carrots, all kinds of stinging pains when the wind blew, and he was not polite at the moment, and told Cailian to remember to soak his hands in warm water, and he hurriedly went back to the house, wiped his hands dry with a dry handkerchief, and hugged the soup woman to warm up first-life has just begun, and she doesn't want to be amputated for this.
Holding a nondescript mug in his hand, He Xiaoqiao sniffed, and poured several sips of hot milk tea before feeling his body warm up again.
"Princess!" As soon as he put the cup down, the head of Hong Fang suddenly rushed in from outside the door, looking so excited that he couldn't help himself, his face turned red and he danced with his hands, "Princess, happy event, great happy event!" ”
"What's the big deal?" He Xiaoqiao stretched slowly and methodically, habitually teasing him, "Could it be that your future daughter-in-law gave you something good?" Or did you just kiss you on the cheek again? ”
Since the last time Yinhua and Hong Fang were discovered by an unscrupulous person in the back alley of Yihong Courtyard and widely publicized, now their group has become accustomed to making fun of him every time they see him.
Regarding this matter, Hong Fang has gone from being embarrassed at the beginning to being cheeky and invulnerable now, and has already cultivated his own realm with ease, "Princess, don't make fun of your subordinates, I'm not here to talk about this today." ”
He Xiaoqiao was a little disapproving, "It's not about this, so what do you want to say?" ”
Now except for Jiang Fenghao's return, there seems to be nothing else that can surprise her.
Slowly picked up the teapot and prepared to bring himself another cup of milk tea, some images suddenly flashed in his mind, He Xiaoqiao put down the teapot and stood up, his eyes widened, and even his voice changed a little, "What time is today?" ”
Hong Fang rubbed his hands and smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "I don't know what number of subordinates are today, but the subordinates know that the prince is about to enter the mansion!" ”
"What?"
He Xiaoqiao snorted, jumped high like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and didn't care about putting on a cloak, and rushed towards the door like a wind with his skirt.
Hong Fang, whose mouth was already smiling from ear to ear, hurriedly followed.
You can't blame him for smiling too explicitly, it's really Jiang Fenghao who still has more than 200,000 taels of silver in his bank, and he is expected to get things back when he returns home.
More than 200,000 taels of real money! It's exciting to think about!
He Xiaoqiao gasped and trotted all the way, and when he met Liu Yidao on the way, he only greeted him verbally, and finally saw him when Jiang Fenghao and his party entered the second courtyard.
Leng Qianshan, who followed Jiang Fenghao out to go around, still looked like he was paralyzed, and his eyes were as sharp as when he saw He Xiaoqiao standing behind the door of the Moon Cave, and immediately bent down and shouted, "Princess." ”
The guards behind him all had the same expressions and movements, and they greeted each other in unison.
Jiang Fenghao, who was dressed in a wide robe and big sleeves, and did not have the slightest tiredness on his face, handed over the reins of the horse to the servant behind him, squinted at He Xiaoqiao with a pair of peach blossom eyes and smiled, his voice was still as low and beautiful as before, "Lady, I'm back for my husband!" ”
It was just a simple sentence, but it made He Xiaoqiao feel like he wanted to cry on the spot for a moment.
The bastard had been gone for almost three months at once, and although he knew he had something to do, he still wanted to go up and punch him twice now.
Seeing He Xiaoqiao standing still, crying and laughing for a while on her face, Jiang Fenghao probably guessed what she was thinking, laughed out loud at the moment, pulled the ends of her hair that was still stained with water behind her with her hands, opened her hands towards her, and repeated, "Lady, I'm back for my husband!" ”
“……”
He Xiaoqiao opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
The person who was haunted by his dreams suddenly appeared in front of him, and the little cowardly feelings in his heart actually came out at this time to make trouble, obviously he should have gone up and hugged him with a big hug, but his feet were like nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move half a step.
The faces of the surrounding onlookers were a little distorted, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"Lady?" Jiang Fenghao waited for a long time and didn't see He Xiaoqiao make any moves, raised his eyebrows, and immediately stretched his hand forward and hooked his fingers, gave her a look again, and motioned her to hurry up and pounce into his arms.
In order not to disgust He Xiaoqiao, he also specially cleaned himself at the post station before coming back, but he didn't expect this stupid woman to understand that he wanted to enjoy the warm fragrance of nephrite jade and hugged him, so he stood stupidly and stupidly growing mushrooms.
sighed, seeing that she still refused to move, Jiang Fenghao's handsome face was so sad that he was almost unbearable, so he had no choice but to speak again cheekily, this time saying it clearly, "Lady, you're back for your husband, don't you say anything?" ”
Even if you don't have a hungry wolf and a sheep-like hug, you can give him a smiling face!
He Xiaoqiao's hand hidden in his sleeve shook and loosened, loosened and clenched, and the hesitation in his heart was slowly replaced by ecstasy, and then he raised his feet and walked slowly towards him.
Jiang Fenghao smiled as happily as a stealing cat, and hurriedly spread his arms to the maximum, ready to greet his own daughter-in-law who fell from the sky.
Unexpectedly, He Xiaoqiao walked in front of him slowly, but he didn't pounce as he imagined, just frowned and leaned over to sniff beside him, and then took a few steps back, and soon returned to his original position with a serious face.
The onlookers had already laughed out loud with several uncontrollable laughter, the corners of Jiang Fenghao's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously raised his arm to sniff it, wondering all kinds in his heart - obviously he had just finished bathing, could it be that he still smelled strange now?
He Xiaoqiao didn't care what kind of expression Jiang Fenghao was, pinched the finger bones of his two hands, and then lowered his body to pose in an impact posture, and rushed into Jiang Fenghao's arms like a small cannonball, almost knocking him out, "Jiang Fenghao!" ”
Bastard! Welcome back!
Like an octopus with a tight slap on him, He Xiaoqiao disregarded his image and strangled his neck with his hands and feet, his chin rested on Jiang Fenghao's shoulder, and his nose was sour.
Jiang Fenghao was just stunned for her sudden attack, and then caught her firmly with his backhand, tightened his arms and hugged her, his eyes were full of smiles, "I haven't seen you for many days, my lady's kung fu has made great progress!" ”
Hearing the familiar ridicule, He Xiaoqiao choked for a while, opened his mouth and bit him heavily on the shoulder, and then began to cry.
The surrounding guards were all dumbfounded, and they all automatically turned their backs without Jiang Fenghao opening their mouths, thinking that their princess's unreasonable trick was really unrestrained!
And Jiang Fenghao, who is the party concerned, although he has rehearsed countless times in his heart He Xiaoqiao's excited appearance when he sees him back, and even thinks that he will be beaten, but he never expected that she would cry like a child, and she was so frightened on the spot that she was in a hurry, and she didn't care that she directly picked up the person horizontally, and took off on her toes, and rushed towards Fengzhu Yayuan.
Kicking open the door of Fengzhu Yayuan, Cailian heard the sound and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, and was stunned when she saw Jiang Fenghao, "Lord Wang?!" ”
Jiang Fenghao didn't even look at her, tensed his jaw and kicked open the door, and carried He Xiaoqiao, who was still clutching his shirt and crying, into the house, and then sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled his cloak and wrapped her in it.
He Xiaoqiao buried his face next to his neck, smelling the reassuring familiar smell on his body, and tears fell down like no money, and soon wet Jiang Fenghao's collar.
"Lady, don't cry." Reaching out to wipe away the tears on her face awkwardly, Jiang Fenghao patted her back and coaxed, "Isn't your husband back?" Which bad guy bullied you? You tell your husband, let your husband break him into pieces for you! ”
"I didn't ...... No. He Xiaoqiao didn't even raise his head, and continued to thunder and rain and howl endlessly.
Jiang Fenghao couldn't cry or laugh a little, but his subordinates didn't stop helping her to follow her breath, lest she cry so much that she choked herself, "What's going on, did anyone upset you?" ”
He Xiaoqiao was crying, and he didn't know why, when he saw him, he felt that a corner of his heart was filled, listening to him coaxing himself like this, he felt so awkward that he felt very uncomfortable, and refused to let go of Jiang Fenghao, so he just hugged him and sobbed all the way, "No...... Hiccup, don't worry about it, I just want to cry. ”
I couldn't say that I thought you were so numb, so I had to cover up the past with a fierce expression, but my hands and feet were wrapped more tightly regardless of it.
