Xu Ning had no objection at all. She carried the silver hairpin to a small bench and sat in front of Huo Yunchao: "Mr. Master, comb your hair with a wooden comb, and then help me tie my hair, okay?"
"it is good."
Huo Yunchao likes to dress up Xu Ning very much, just like playing dress-up games. It is one of their boudoir fun.
Xu Ning sat on the bench and took the initiative to ask about what he had seen in Fucheng: "My husband, you just said that it was good to eat, drink and have fun in Fucheng. What delicious food did you eat?"
Huo Yunchao answered all questions. He combed and tied his hair skillfully while patiently answering Xu Ning's doubts.
The couple answered questions and the atmosphere was great.
Butcher Xu knocked on the door and said through the door: "Chao'er, the water is boiling. You can eat after you freshen up."
Huo Yunchao opened the door and made room to show the fruits of his labor to Butcher Xu: "Dad Xu, you came just in time! Here, how do you like the silver hairpin I bought for Ning Niang? Does it look good?"
Butcher Xu laughed happily and said: "It looks good! It looks very good! Chao'er, you bought this at Jinlou in Fucheng, right? The style of the silver hairpin is much prettier than the ones in the county. It costs a lot of money to get a penny. Bar?"
Huo Yunchao reported the expenses of the Fucheng and his party to Butcher Xu: "Dad Xu, the magistrate rewarded us with one hundred taels, and the county magistrate also rewarded us with another twenty taels, adding up to a total of one hundred and twenty taels. My brother-in-law and I bought slaves for a total of I spent forty-five taels on silver hairpins, wooden combs, and books, leaving only ten taels of silver left."
"You don't have to give me these ten taels of silver. You can keep them yourself. I'll teach them how to do things first."
Butcher Xu would not ask for any money from the younger generation at all. He was young and powerful and could still work, so he would not ask for a penny from the younger generation.
If it is a festival, junior
Giving him filial piety money is another matter.
Huo Yunchao stopped Butcher Xu and took out the gift he specially selected: "Dad Xu, wait! This is the wooden comb I specially selected for you."
Butcher Xu didn't expect to receive a gift. He was more surprised than happy: "This wooden comb is of good quality. Is it carved with an eagle? The carving is really good and lifelike. Chao'er, you kid is really thoughtful."
After closing the door, Huo Yunchao turned around and faced Xu Ning's red eyes. He walked a few steps to her side and held her hand: "Ning Niang, why are you crying? I heard that mothers shouldn't cry too much. If there are too many, it is easy to give birth to a crying baby."
Xu Ning was 100% sure that Huo Yunzhao had made up this statement. She burst into laughter and said, "Ms., I'm just so happy. Sister Xiaocao and I have been worried, for fear that something might happen to you and your brother-in-law."
Huo Yunchao felt very uncomfortable when he heard this: "Madam, didn't I tell you before I went out? The county magistrate is a nobleman born with a silver spoon in his mouth. As long as he is around, no scoundrel will dare to approach. All the accompanying guards are I have seen ruthless people who have killed people with blood, but nothing happened along the way, everything went smoothly."
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm not strong enough."
When Huo Yunchao heard this, he immediately regretted it: "Madam, I don't blame you, I feel sorry for you. I don't need you to become stronger. I will try my best to go out with you in the future."
Xu Ning didn't want Huo Yunchao to worry, so he tried his best to control his emotions and coaxed Huo Yunchao to freshen up.
When Huo Yunchao went to take a shower with her clothes in her arms, Xu Ning held tightly the wooden comb Huo Yunchao gave her and cried softly. She didn't know why she was crying, she just wanted to cry
.
Huo Yunchao returned to the house after washing himself, and saw Xu Ning lying on the bed sleeping uneasily, holding the wooden comb he gave him.
He sighed softly, hugged Xu Ning from behind, patted her arm rhythmically, and coaxed her into a sweet dream.
When Xu Ning's breathing became long and soothing, Huo Yunchao stood up gently. After getting dressed, he went to Butcher Xu and said, "Dad Xu, where will the new slave live? What will he be responsible for in the future? Father Xu, please tell me." understand?"
Butcher Xu answered them one by one and asked Huo Yunchao: "Chao'er, do you know that our family has to pay them a poll tax every year?"
Huo Yunchao confessed frankly: "Dad Xu, I know. The people at the tooth shop made it clear to me before signing and signing that the head tax for slave registration would have to be paid more, but I thought that our family would not be able to add more money for a while. We have no choice but to use this method to help Ning Niang share the work at home and outside the home. Father Xu, I should discuss it with you first before making a decision."
"No, I'm not blaming you. I'm not as good at talking as you. If people in the village ask me about it, I'll do what you just said. I originally thought about whether to pay Aunt Ma to help me like Ning Niang did when she was a child. Be careful. Now that I think about it, your method is still reliable."
Butcher Xu was not stupid. How could he not know Huo Yunchao's purpose in buying slaves?
Huo Yunchao chuckled a few times; "Dad Xu, I have calculated that raising two more slaves will not bring much burden to our family."
Butcher Xu smiled so much that his crow's feet deepened: "Yes, our family's life is getting more and more exciting. Chao'er, the food is heating in the pot, you and Ning Niang will eat first. I'll go out for a walk."
Huo Yunchao said directly: "Dad Xu
, if you see my father, please tell my father and tell me that I will go back to see him tomorrow. "
"Sure." Butcher Xu couldn't wait to go out, just to show off how filial his son-in-law was.
How could Huo Yunchao not guess Butcher Xu's little thoughts? He found the slave couple who were working in the backyard. Seeing that they were working conscientiously, he only said a few words and asked them to eat and then go back to the house to rest.
Neither Huo Yunchao nor the Xu family were mean people. They had no intention of exploiting their slaves. They gave them the same food, nothing special.
The couple kept their duties, finished eating in front of the stove with their bowls in hand, washed and brushed before lining up to freshen up.
Huo Yunchao observed the two's reactions without leaving any trace. He was very defensive and had a strong sense of territory. A stranger entering his territory would make him feel uncomfortable.
When Xu Ning woke up, she found that the sky was already dark, and there was a familiar sound of breathing in her ears. She leaned forward and kissed Huo Yunchao, rubbed his chest, and smiled contentedly.
Huo Yunchao was awakened and asked her: "Madam? Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Xu Ning no longer needed to be cautious and openly put her hand around Huo Yunchao: "I'm not hungry."
Huo Yunchao was completely sleepless, "Why aren't you hungry? Come on, let's go have a midnight snack."
Xu Ning was extremely attached to Huo Yunchao's embrace: "My husband, you have been gone for so many days, and I want to hug you. Wait a while, let's get up again, okay?"
Can Huo Yunchao say "no"? he can not.
The little couple were sticky and lingered until Xu Ning's stomach growled with hunger before she got up from the bed.
Xu Ning held her chin with her right hand, admiring Huo Yunchao who was cooking noodles seriously.
: "Ms. sir, when will you make me those special snacks?"
