Xin Zhi didn't look like he was angry, so he explained in a low voice: "You are a man, you definitely can't have children." ”

"However, you are not young, if you are not married, it is okay to say, but you have been married to your husband for five years, and you still have no children, but you are not anxious! So some people maliciously speculated, thinking that it was not your husband's body that was wrong, but that you had a body problem. ”

"Otherwise, why don't you take a concubine? Passing on the ancestry, this is a big event. ”

Li Qiao: "......"

He stretched out his index finger and emphasized: "First, I have not been married to Brother Zhu for five years, and it is less than four and a half years at present. ”

By next summer, he and Brother Zhu will only be married for five years.

He stretched out his middle finger again: "Second, I don't take concubines because I have a good relationship with Brother Zhu'er, and I don't want children." ”

And he's not too young, he's only twenty-two years old......

"I believe you, but others don't. If you spread this, others will definitely think that you are a dead duck with a hard mouth, as a man, how can you not want children? ”

Xin Zhi's eyebrows were tightened.

"Moreover, others don't believe that you have a good relationship, they think that your affection for your husband is faked, in order to blame your husband for not having children."

Li Qiao: "? ”

He's looking at his phone again.

"These people think that you can't give birth, otherwise you are all this age, let alone a son, you don't even have a daughter or brother, but you are not in a hurry, there must be something wrong with this."

"This must be your problem."

Xin Zhi retold the content of the rumors he had heard recently to Li Qiao.

In fact, as early as when Li Qiao was the top student in high school, he had heard that Li Qiao's various behaviors were pretended rumors.

However, at that time, there were very few such remarks, and they didn't pull it on the child, but I just thought it was incredible, Li Qiao was a big man, he was good-looking, and he would make money even for six yuan, and he was also thinking about a little brother who looked like a man.

This kind of peerless good man, he doesn't dare to write it like this in the book!

But recently, the rumors about Li Qiao have suddenly become outrageous, but they are quite logical, and they have found a particularly reasonable reason for Li Qiao's incredible:

Li Qiao can only pretend to be in love with his husband and resolutely refuse to take a concubine, so as to hide the fact that he has a body problem. If he takes a concubine and the concubine can't get pregnant, then everyone in the world will know that there is something wrong with his body.

Based on this logic, the rumor spread all at once.

Not only did people who were good friends with him hear about it, but his family also heard about it.

If he didn't have a deep friendship with Li Qiao, maybe he would have believed it.

Li Qiao: "......"

It's so outrageous that he doesn't even feel angry.

He looked at Xin Zhi quietly, and after a few seconds, he asked, "So, no matter what I say now, it can be attributed to my hard mouth?" ”

"Yes." Xin Zhi nodded sadly.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qiao raised her hand and rubbed her face: "Okay, anyway, the mouth grows on someone else, how to say what you like." As long as you don't run up to me and say it, then I don't know. ”

Anyway, the attitude of his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy towards him is the same as always.

If he and Tao Zhu don't have children because they both have physical problems, then this rumor is good now.

Put the pressure on him, and Tao Zhu will be able to relax.

Xin Zhi looked at his speechless + helpless appearance, and immediately sympathized, but in the face of such rumors, he really couldn't think of any brilliant ideas.

"Why don't you go to the infirmary and ask the doctor to show you? In this way, we may be able to stop the rumors. ”

"No need, others can say whatever they like, I'm too lazy to take care of it."

Li Qiao shook her head.

If he did go to see the doctor, then he was led away by rumors.

Think beautifully.

He doesn't give jokes to those with malicious intentions.

Moreover, even if the doctor proves that he is fine, the person who is malicious to him will think that he bought the doctor in advance.

Love it.

However, before returning to the house, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is spreading this rumor?" ”

"It's quite a lot, there are many people who don't like you, and it's easy to arouse the interest of passers-by, so it's spread widely."

"Many people in the Xungui circle know that it is a matter of time before it flows to ordinary people."

“…… Freedom of speech, being a celebrity can not only enjoy the benefits of being famous, but also have to bear the troubles. ”

Li Qiao sighed as she walked towards his room.

Xin Zhi: "......"

His respect for Li Qiao became stronger and stronger.

Infected with such rumors, you can still be so calm, ordinary men really can't do it.

Li Qiao really didn't care about this rumor, and when he returned to the house, he collected information as usual, and he was not affected at all.

Soon it was time to get off work, there was a misty drizzle in the air, and the light rain kept drilling under the umbrella along the cold wind, and when Li Qiao came to the ox cart from Hanlin Courtyard with an umbrella, the clothes on his body were already half wet.

"When you get home, roast it over the fire, big mountain, go faster."

Tao Zhu touched Li Qiao's wet knees and urged Li Dashan to pass.

Li Dashan was wearing a robe, and he was still holding an umbrella, but along the way, he was also caught by the rain, he hummed, and the hand that didn't hold the umbrella grabbed the whip and shook it.

The ox, named Little Good, immediately lifted its hooves and walked forward.

The door of the carriage is closed, and the rain can't get in, but the airtightness of the carriage is not good, and a small cold wind can get in through the gap.

Tao Zhu was wearing a very thick body, he touched Li Qiao's somewhat cold hand, and then unbuttoned the sheepskin jacket on his body, and motioned for Li Qiao to put his hand into his arms.

Li Qiao laughed softly, most of her body pressed against him, and her hands were stretched into his arms.

Liang Wow's hands touched the warm clothes, and the comfortable Li Qiao couldn't help but close her eyes: "Brother Zhu is so good." ”

"It's really a sin to go out in this kind of weather, and now that I'm an official, it's not as comfortable as before."

Tao Zhu wanted to sigh.

"No, it's actually the landlord who is most comfortable."

Li Qiao also wanted to sigh, and with his words, his hands habitually went down from his heart, wanting to stick tighter along the seam of his clothes and the pottery bamboo.

However, when he came to Tao Zhu's stomach, today's rumors suddenly popped up in his mind.

He couldn't help but pat Tao Zhu's stomach lightly.

Taozhu has no abdominal muscles, but there is no fat around the waist, it is the kind that is tender and delicate, and it is very comfortable to touch.

Imagine Tao Zhu's big belly, and after a moment, he shook his head slightly.

Don't get pregnant.

He was a little scared......

The original white and tender belly was propped up, and it was impossible to make big movements for ten consecutive months, and what was even more terrifying was that there would be a tragedy such as dystocia and massive hemorrhage.

At this time, medical treatment is not good, and if there is any accident in the middle, then he really can't bear it.

Tao Zhu didn't know what Li Qiao was thinking, he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently pat Li Qiao's arm when he saw Li Qiao like this, and then whispered in his ear: "The mountain is still outside." ”

When Li Qiao heard this, her big hand honestly went up, and she put it back into Tao Zhu's heart.

"Speaking of which, after I finished lunch today, I especially want to drink a bowl of our hot drink."

"Huh?" When Tao Zhu heard this, his mind immediately turned: "Why don't I send it to you at noon tomorrow?" ”

"Put a small stove on the ox cart, and when it is delivered to the Hanlin Academy, it will definitely be hot."

"No, you don't."

Li Qiao did not agree.

Although the duck shop will close at noon, Tao Zhu still has to go to the vegetable market to buy ducks and vegetarian vegetables.

Moreover, in this kind of wet and cold weather, even if Tao Zhu doesn't go grocery shopping, he wants Tao Zhu to stay at home.

"I just ate too dry at noon today, and it's cold, so I want to drink our hot drink."

"It's okay, you can hand over the purchase to Zhuangquan Zhou Yun. The couple felt that our wages were too high, and they always wanted to do more work, and Sister-in-law Wen was also very supportive. ”

The sister-in-law Wen in Tao Zhu's mouth refers to Zhuang Wen's wife.

Zhuang Wen's wife is very virtuous, she can do all the housework at home alone, and now Zhuang Quan Zhou Yun only does half a day's work with a salary of 400 Wen a day, and the whole Zhuang family is very embarrassed.

Therefore, hand over the work of buying to Zhuangquan Zhou Yun, and the couple must be willing.

Of course, he had to send someone to follow, and the couple were timid.

In his heart, 100,000 duck shops are not as important as Li Qiao.

Moreover, Li Qiao has been an official in the Hanlin Academy for so long, and he has not seen Li Qiao at noon.

Thinking like this, he said again, "I want to see you." ”

As soon as these four words came out, where could Li Qiao refuse, he also wanted to see his brother Zhu.

So, the next day, the weather was still drowsy, and although it was not raining, the little cold wind was still blowing, and it was still wet and cold.

Tao Zhu and Li Dashan pinched the time and rushed to the gate of the inner city when Li Qiao was having dinner at noon.

Li Qiao simply brought out lunch and ran to the ox cart to eat with Tao Zhu.

"Why did you come out with food, it's cold."

Although the meal was packed in a food box, the food box was not kept warm, and the Hanlin Courtyard was not close to the ox cart, so it had to walk for a quarter of an hour.

"So that the two of us can stay a little longer, and I'll just bake the steamed buns on the stove."

Li Qiao said with a smile.

"Then you take a hot sip first."

Tao Zhu brought two small copper pots this time, one is five-grain soybean milk, and the other is corn juice.
