13 Chapter 13

The husband and wife braved the heavy snow to come warmly, Tian Tian couldn't refuse: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will definitely go over in three days, but the adult has been quite busy recently, whether he can go, this will not be known until I ask him." ”

The husband and wife are very understanding: "The adults are busy with official business, if they can come, it is a blessing, if they can't come, we all understand, don't force it, Mrs. can come, it is already a big face for us." ”

Tian Tian said a few words modestly, and then instructed Xianglan to prepare some food for the couple to take back.

They gave her a basket of eggs, and she deserved it in return.

Seeing off the husband and wife, Tian Tian asked Xianglan to go to the county government to deliver a message to Xu Mu and tell him about attending the funeral three days later.

Tian Tian was still quite nervous in her heart, since eating the pot that night, Xu Mu was too busy with official business, they hadn't met at all, and she didn't have a chance to explain to him about getting drunk that night, and she didn't know if he was angry.

Hey, there's no way to explain this kind of thing, it's already in the past, and then deliberately mentioning it, it seems too redundant, too embarrassing, and the most important thing is that she is a girl's family, this kind of thing really can't be spoken.

Xianglan was very fast, and she came back after an hour's effort.

Tian Tian didn't wait for Xianglan to speak, sat on the small couch and asked nervously, "What did Xu Mu say?" Did he refuse?

Xianglan smiled: "My lord knew that you were going too, so I agreed." ”

Tian Tian couldn't believe it: "You really agreed directly?" "That's a big corrupt official, it's not profitable to be early, and it really shocked her to promise so happily.

Xianglan nodded: "Exactly." ”

Tian Tian still looks like he is in a dream.

Xianglan couldn't cry or laugh: "The slave is really good to Mrs. when she looks at the adult." "Which family has an adult who is so considerate, and only an adult is like this, in the eyes of the adult during this time, it is right for the lady to marry the adult, and the Tang Zhixian is good to the lady, but there has never been such indulgence and spoiling.

Tian Tianxin began to flutter and jump again.

She touched her heart, what's wrong lately, it's getting more and more wrong?

*

Xu Mu came back the night before attending the funeral, and in order to facilitate the trip together the next day, he went back to his house for a night.

The husband and wife did not live together, and Tian Tian only learned that he came back the next day.

"Madam, my lord just sent someone to pass the message, and he is waiting for you at the gate of the mansion." Xianglan stood behind Tian Tian and said while pulling her hair.

Tian Tian applied the grease: "Got it." ”

After packing up, the master and servant walked to the door of the house, the weather was fine today, there was no snow, and it was not as cold as before.

Before arriving at the gate of the mansion, Tian Tian saw Xu Mu from a distance, he and Zhou Nan were standing at the door waiting for her, not far from him, there was also a luxury carriage parked, as well as more than 30 subordinates, and the battle was extremely powerful.

I haven't seen him for nearly half a month, Xu Mu has lost a little weight, today he is wearing a plain white embroidered green bamboo silk jacket, covered with a snow-white coat, wearing a white jade crown, the whole person looks clear and elegant, without half a bureaucratic atmosphere, he is really a very outstanding beautiful man.

Zhou Nan followed behind him, which became a background board.

Tian Tian stepped forward and gave a salute: "Xianggong." ”

Pandan followed suit.

Xu Mu walked quickly to his little wife and personally helped her up: "Madame doesn't have to be polite. Then he nodded to Xianglan and motioned for her to get up.

Tian Tian smiled: "Let Xianggong wait for a long time." ”

Xu Mu's eyebrows were gentle: "I just arrived for a while, it's cold outside, let's get in the car first." ”

"Okay."

The husband and wife got into the car together.

Xianglan watched from behind, the lady and the adult were dressed more elegantly today, the two were already talented and beautiful, and they stood together very well, it was a match made in heaven.

In the carriage, Xu Mu and Tian Tian were silent for a long time, and after a long time, Xu Mu took the initiative to speak: "Madam, how are you doing recently?" ”

Tian Tian smiled: "Everything is fine." However, the husband is busy with official business, and he has lost a lot of weight, so he must take care of himself. ”

"Okay." Xu Mu listened to the little wife's delicate and soft advice, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and her eyes fell on her, she also wore plain white clothes today, and only two white hostas were obliquely inserted on her sideburns, fresh and elegant, clean as a lily after the rain, and still made him unable to take his eyes off.

Xu Mu's gaze was too strong, it was difficult for Tian Tian not to pay attention, a little blushing was like clouds on the horizon, she simply closed her eyes, pretended to sleep, and couldn't see it.

The carriage traveled for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at the village where the middle-aged couple lived.

The middle-aged couple knew that Tian Tian was coming today, so they waited at the entrance of the village early in the morning, accompanied by the village chief and Li Zheng of the village and some villagers of the village.

Xu Mu and Tian Tian got out of the car, and everyone knelt on the ground.

Xu Mu hurriedly asked people to get up.

The villagers enthusiastically led the husband and wife into the village, Xu Mu used to be a big corrupt official, and everywhere he passed was abused, but now he is held by the villagers and really loved, he is not used to it.

Tian Tian and Xu Mu went to worship in front of the victim's grave, and after lunch, they said goodbye and left.

This matter is the end of the curtain.

Inside the carriage, Tian Tian couldn't help but ask: "Xianggong, do you think it's boring to attend the funeral?" ”

Xu Mu smiled: "No." "How can it be boring to come out with her. If he was alone, he wouldn't have said yes.

Tian Tian smiled like a flower, very satisfied with his answer. In fact, the reason why Tian Tian brought him out was also to let him feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people more truly, and if he wanted to become a good official, he had to come step by step.

Xu Mu first sent Tian Tian back to his home, and then went to the county office, and his busy feet did not touch the ground.

The Zhou family's affairs are too big, and the ancestral property is confiscated, and there are still a lot of things to deal with, and Tian Tian also understands him.

*

On this day, Zhou Nan sent a carriage of silk into the Rose Courtyard, Tian Tian was admiring the red plum under the courtyard wall, and was immediately dumbfounded when he saw Zhou Nan in such a big formation.

Xianglan also covered her mouth in shock.

"Zhou Nan, what is this?" Tian Tian looked at him suspiciously.

Zhou Nan commanded his subordinates to send the cloth into the house, and then walked to Tian Tian with a smile and replied: "Mrs. Huiyu, these silks were sent to the capital to buy by the adults before, and the horses are the most fashionable materials at the moment. ”

bought a carriage of silk from the capital, which really shocked Tian Tian.

She suddenly remembered that when she first married Xu Mu, he had taken her out to the market, when they went to a silk village, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he didn't dare to accept her silver, she felt bored, so she casually said that she couldn't look down on it, but she didn't expect Xu Mu to take this to heart, and actually sent someone to the capital to buy her a carriage.

This arrogant method made Tian Tian's back cold, but Xu Mu's heart for her made her warm, as if she was not cold this winter.

"I'm very happy to tell my husband for me." Tian Tian smiled.

"Yes." Zhou Nan bowed and retreated, and quickly returned to the county government to resume his life.

The master and servant entered the house to see the silk, which is worthy of being a good thing bought in the capital, whether it is color or color, it is more than a few grades better than Changping County.

Xianglan couldn't help but envy: "Madam, my lord treats you like a jewel, and he actually takes your words to heart like this." ”

The corners of Tian Tian's lips rose slightly, and she didn't realize how happy she was smiling.

"Xianglan, you pick a horse you like."

Xianglan couldn't hide her surprise: "Madam, what you said is true?" ”

"How can there be a fake, pick it." With so much silk, she can't wear it alone, Xianglan is her companion, the two are like sisters, and it is reasonable to give her a horse.

"Thank you, ma'am." Xianglan hurriedly knelt down and thanked her.

"Hurry up." Tian Tian smiled and helped the person up.

Xianglan picked a lake blue material and hugged it lovely.

Tian Tian picked out a big red satin: "Xianglan, take this silk to make a skirt for the embroidery girl in the house, the sooner the better." "She's a bride now, and she's supposed to be dressed in a flamboyant way, and it's a material that's very much to her liking.

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

*

After three days of rushing to work, Tian Tian's new jacket skirt was finally made.

Inside the house, Tian Tian put on a new jacket and skirt, very satisfied, the bright red satin embroidered with lifelike peonies, extravagant and bright.

"Xianglan, tell the kitchen to stew a cup of chicken soup and come out, I will personally send it to the adults."

Xu Mu gave her so much silk, she should go over and thank him in person.

"Yes." Pandan got a piece of silk, and she was in a very good mood these days.

Xu Mu learned that his little wife came to deliver chicken soup, he was busy in the study reading the Zhou family's shop account books, this kind of thing could be handed over to his subordinates to do, but it involved a large amount of money, he was not at ease, or decided to do it himself.

Tian Tian was invited into the study by Zhou Nan.

This is the first time Tian Tian has come to the county office, and he walked in with a food box.

Although Xu Mu is a corrupt official, he is well disguised, and the study is very clean and honest except for books, paintings and some fragmentary ornaments.

At a glance, Xu Mu was wearing an official uniform, sitting upright in front of the bookcase, holding an abacus in one hand and looking through the account book in the other, busy.

Xu Mu heard the footsteps, raised his head, and saw that it was his little wife, and smiled slightly: "Madame is here, sit down for a while, and wait for me to finish reading this account first." ”

Tian Tian nodded and raised the food box in his hand: "A few days ago, I saw that Xianggong had lost some weight, so I asked the kitchen to stew a cup of chicken soup and send it. ”

Xu Mu smiled: "Madam has a heart." "The abacus in my hand still doesn't stop.

"Xianggong is busy first." Tian Tian put the food box on the bookcase, and then sat on a small couch not far away and waited for him.

Tian Tian sat crookedly on the couch, got a haircut and sideburns, and put on a more dignified and elegant posture, the one she was wearing today, I don't know if Xu Mu saw it, he only had abacus and account books in his eyes, and he probably didn't pay attention to her.

Thinking of this, Tian Tian felt a little depressed.

Xu Mu easily finished reading an account, raised his eyes and looked over, the little wife was half-lying on the small wooden table on the small couch, she may have been waiting for a long time, her eyes narrowed slightly, her head was little by little, and she seemed to be going to fall asleep in the next second.

Suddenly, the little wife's head nodded a little hard, she was conscious for a moment, sorted out the sideburns on her head in a daze, straightened her clothes again, and then put back into her previous posture and continued to sleep.

Xu Mu couldn't help laughing, it was really unexpected that his little wife, who usually rejected him thousands of miles away, had such a cute appearance.
