September is the harvest season of the white stack, listening to Xu Niang said, although the weather in Xizhou this year is dry, the autumn grain harvest is average, but this white stack is growing well.

Qingrong had also seen someone selling white stacks in the market before, and he also made a pair of cotton socks for Xue Shao, and Xue Shao said that it was particularly easy to wear. However, this thing is laborious to make, and you have to remove the seeds before you can use it. The trouble is troublesome, but the white cloth made of this white stack is very comfortable and easy to use, soft and close to the skin, and it is warmer than the cloth in winter.

In the past two years, she has been in correspondence with her family, Xizhou is far away from Yongcheng, and it takes several months to come and go. Qingrong also learned about Siniang's joy this month, she was happy in her heart, and she was also looking forward to the arrival of this child.

Seeing such good things, I immediately thought of making small clothes for the unborn child in Siniang's belly, and wearing it on my body would definitely be comfortable and warm. So Qingrong bought a lot of white stacks from An's shop and sewed them by himself.

It was when she saw Xu Niang again that Qingrong learned that she no longer planned to stay in Anjiadian.

Qingrong also asked, "Didn't you think this job was pretty good before?" Why aren't you going to do it? ”

Xu Niang did think that this errand was not bad, but judging from the current situation, she had to make two plans.

Her news is not closed, she has heard that Xue Shao has made meritorious contributions, and her cousin of the emperor doesn't know if he will let people return to the dynasty to be crowned generals, or let him stay. If she can stay, it will naturally be the best for her, even if she looks at Qingrong, no one here will embarrass her.

The An family is the best proof, she knows very well that Qingrong takes care of her, which makes her very different from the other housekeepers in the An family. An Jia Langjun is polite to her, and it is one thing to recognize her ability, but it is another thing for Qingrong to exist. Even if something goes wrong, no one will embarrass her.

It's just that what if Xue Shao wants to leave Xizhou? Then these things are another matter.

The old feelings were always less reliable than the immediate interests, which her older brothers and sisters had taught her in the past. In the past, she had little experience and didn't think much of it, but after experiencing so much, she realized that this world is like this.

In fact, putting aside these trade-offs, Xu Niang is still quite grateful to Qingrong in her heart, she has indeed made herself feel much better here. Therefore, Xu Niang did not intend to hide it, and told her about her promise to Ju Shizi.

"The prince is now staying in Xizhou, and he also wants to do business here, and promised to hire me as a housekeeper at three times the price to help him manage the property under him. As soon as he mentioned this, I didn't agree immediately, and I also discussed with An Jialangjun, who probably didn't want to get along with the prince, and persuaded me to agree. After thinking about it again, I agreed to Ju Shizi. ”

If Xue Shao returned to the capital, then she followed Ju Shizi and did things for him, which was not considered helpless, although he sometimes spoke annoyingly, he was more reliable than the living. If Xue Shao continues to stay in Xizhou, it won't matter, she won't embarrass herself because of this, and the price of three times is not a small amount.

Qingrong also guessed that this was the back road that Xu Niang found for herself, and made plans for herself, this is understandable, Qingrong really has no opinion.

It's like she doesn't know if she will stay, but she thinks that some things are better to mention first, "It's good for you to think about it yourself, but I think Ju Shizi treats you very differently." ”

Xu Niang is also aware of it, does Ju Shizi really value her ability? Xu Niang doesn't think that although she has a little bit of vision, she thinks that her ability is not much better than those experienced stewards, and there are many things to learn slowly. Speaking of which, she herself felt that the triple price was probably going to be a loss.

But knowing that she knows, she chose to "turn a blind eye". Xu Niang's heart is not awkward at all, she is older than the royal family, and she knows that the "affection" of high-ranking people for vulnerable women is their best right.

She doesn't seek rights, but if she wants to live well and have something to rely on, she still can't refuse Ju Shizi. "Thank you, Madame, for your understanding. What Madame said, I also know, I think the son of the world is just a whim, and I can't take it seriously. ”

Qingrong raised her eyebrows slightly, but she was not too surprised, because what kind of choice is possible for everyone to make in different situations. She just asked, "Then you... Would you like to do the same? ”

Xu Niang feels that she and Qingrong don't have a deep friendship, but I have to say that she sometimes explains her happiness to Qingrong, probably because she thinks that Qingrong is "not a person who has a lot of things to do", she is trustworthy, or maybe she is now the only person she can trust and rely on...

She shook her head and smiled, her tone relaxed but unconcealably firm, "I don't want to." We know that we are not going to have any results. I thank him for helping me, but I don't have a relationship with him. He is already married, how can he be my good match? In addition, my current identity is not on the stage, those unrealistic fantasies, I will never have, I understand that peace of mind and low-key work for others is the best way out for me. ”

Qingrong looked at this woman who pursued "independence" and "independence", and suddenly felt that although her face was still the same, her demeanor and temperament had already been judged to be like two people, and her body was shining with an eye-catching light.

Qingrong smiled, couldn't help but sigh, and said slowly: "You have really changed a lot, looking at you, I always feel that you have grown up." I became calm, capable, and much tougher. ”

Xu Niang smiled when she heard this, and there was emotion in her eyes, "It's been a long time since ... No, somebody has ever said such things to me..."

Qingrong said softly, "How many years older than you, seeing that you are young, I will say this, don't be surprised." ”

Xu Niang shook her head, "How come?" It's too late for me to thank Madame, didn't Madame say this? ”

Qingrong said: "As long as you are good, they have a spirit in the sky, and they will also be happy for you." ”

Xu Niang's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded heavily, "Yes, I just want to live in peace so that they can rest assured." ”

"Yes."

……

The winter solstice is coming in a blink of an eye, which is an important festival and a day for reunion dinner. During the winter solstice festival, the married daughter will also come back to celebrate the festival and have a reunion dinner. It's just that Qingrong naturally can't eat this reunion dinner thousands of miles away, but fortunately, Ah Zhen can still go back to her "mother's house".

But this year's winter solstice happened to be on the day when the officials were resting, and Ah Lang naturally wanted to come back to celebrate the festival with his wife, so Ah Zhen planned to go a few days in advance.

November was already a harsh winter, and the sky was getting colder, and the wind howled outside the house, and from day to night, it hardly stopped, and even the sky did not dare to compete with it, and it was no longer clear. Qingrong has to guard the brazier and the stove every step of the way, otherwise this hand will be frozen.

Fortunately, sleeping Xue Shao every night is like a big stove, as if there is no time when it is not hot all year round. Therefore, in winter, only with Xue Shao by her side, she slept soundly. This is bitter Xue Shao, the winter Qingrong is particularly "enthusiastic", I can't wait to stick my whole body to him, although he enjoys such intimacy, he can't help but be secretly distressed.

He wanted to pull Qingrong to make love, but on this freezing day, he was sweating, and it was easy to catch a cold when he bathed too often. But he couldn't take a bath, and Qingrong was not very willing to make love to Xue Shao, so he had to endure it. Xue Shao also especially hopes that Tiangong can be beautiful and make tomorrow warmer.

Ah Zhen accompanied Qingrong to chat and talk about interesting things in the house, warm and drinking hot buttermilk, which was very comfortable. Qingrong couldn't help but glance at her up and down several times, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Kang family's cooking skills are good, I see that you are eating more and more rounded." ”

Ah Zhen was a little distressed when she heard this, and reached out and touched her face, "Really? Gorou said the same thing, I still don't believe him, it seems that he is really fat. ”

Yun Niang glanced at the handful of dried fruits she was holding in her hand, and couldn't help but laugh, "It's okay, it's not much fatter, that's good!" It seems that you are blessed. ”

Song Yue also said, "Yes, if you are really thin, the lady will have to worry about your suffering in the Kang family." ”

Ah Zhen was distressed for a while, but she didn't take it too seriously in her heart, and she ate and drank again after a few clicks.

Two days before the winter solstice, the wind gradually subsided, as if it was for the occasion and not deliberately tossing people.

That day, Qingrong was copying the calligraphy with Xue Shao in the study, Xue Shao saw a word, he didn't know, so he asked Qingrong, Qingrong told him how to read it, and said the meaning.

After the words fell, Xue Shao smiled, looked at her and said, "Sanniang knows a lot." Sometimes I'm ashamed of myself compared to you. ”

Qingrong didn't look up and said, "Really?" Do you really think so? ”

"Don't you feel it yourself?" Xue Shao was stunned and smiled, "I know that you are considerate and want to take care of my face. It's not as good as you, this is the truth, and it's not a shame, and you don't have to cover it up for me. ”

Qingrong couldn't help but laugh and slapped his hand away, "You think too much." ”

"I don't say this to cover you up. I just think it's rare, you can do such a generous thought, it surprises me. I don't know if you're making me happy, but it's not easy to get people to admit that they are not as good as people, let alone to ask men to admit that they are not as good as women? ”

But Xue Shao's focus was not on this, and he didn't realize Qingrong's thoughts, but corrected with a straight face: "How can I coax you?" When have I ever told a lie to make you happy? It's just a matter of acting outside, do you still have to pretend in front of you? Sanniang doesn't want to wronged me. ”

Qingrong smiled dumbly, and didn't care much, but deliberately teased him, "Then I'll tell you the truth too." ”

Xue Shao looked down at her, looked at her smiling face and said, "Well, you say." ”

"In your eyes, I'm like this, but in my eyes, aren't you good in everything?"

Xue Shao didn't react at first, and when he understood, his face turned red. Now that he is much darker, it would be difficult to tell if he blushed if it weren't for his rare shyness and reddened ear tips.

Qingrong pursed his lips and stole fun, and his bright eyes were bent. Xue Shao didn't know how to answer for a while, and felt that Qingrong was too "straightforward", so he turned his head and said a little awkwardly: "Don't deliberately coax me." ”

Qingrong said unjustly, "Why did I coax you?" Who told me about it? It's just a matter of acting outside, do you still want to be like this at home, you don't want to wronged me! ”

She used her own words to gag him again, Xue Shao has never been her "opponent", saying that she is not. Seeing her sly smile, Xue Shao couldn't help but hug the person tightly, a little bit of gnashing his teeth, but he hooked his lips, "I really lifted a stone and hit my own feet, but I don't dare to speak next time!" ”

Qingrong leaned on his shoulder and couldn't help but smile, and followed his words: "Isn't that too wronged general?" I can't bear it. ”

Xue Shao didn't know her yet, good words always came when he opened his mouth, although he was happy when he heard it, but how could that? He couldn't help laughing, his eyes were full of deep meaning, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "It doesn't matter, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, if you are reluctant to compensate me for that good life." ”

He's a guy who can climb up a ladder. Qingrong didn't understand the meaning of Xue Shao's words, and shook his head funny, "You really have no conscience when you say this, as if I didn't answer you that time?" ”

Qingrong also learned from him to lower his voice, raised his eyes and asked, "What else do you want from me?" Well? ”

Her tone dragged on for a long time, she wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes were clear and clear with a little smile, and she looked like she had seen through but deliberately wanted to tease people, Xue Shao was so warm that she couldn't help but press people to kiss deeply.

To say before, Xue Shao didn't feel it, but after getting married, as time went on, he felt more and more that his Qingrong temperament was unique and indescribable. She looked indifferent and cold, but with a charming atmosphere.

These two are completely different descriptions, but they are unexpectedly well combined in her. How to describe it? Xue Shao thought, not delicate, nor enchanting, but secretly hidden charming. Just like at the moment of burning incense, when it is lit, the fragrance that wants to penetrate and emit is only a little, but it is enough for people to reverie, and then how to make people want to stop.

After a long while, he gasped and let go, his eyes darkened, and he said in a dumb voice, "You're really... It's getting worse and worse. ”

Qingrong was panting, his cheeks were flushed with spring, and he paused and said deliberately: "It's not all learned from you." ”

Doesn't she know how to treat others the way she does?

After Xue Shao rested for a while, he entangled with people again, it seemed that it felt too good to be so intimate, he actually opened his mind, and picked people up by the waist, "Then you can also learn to be as enthusiastic as me on the couch..."

Qingrong avoided his kiss, couldn't help glaring at him, and scolded softly: "Indecent." ”

She was full of spring, her whole person was as paralyzed as water, this look did not have any deterrent effect at all, but more like "eyebrows and eyes", his eyes tightened, and he said, "Do you see the weather is good today?" ”

……

In the winter of Xizhou, the sun always goes down exceptionally fast. The last color of the sunset also faded on the other side of the mountain, and the thin moon rose, accompanied by the wind that refused to stop, like a bystander, to see the joy lingering in this world.
