Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe didn't expect that when they got home, they would be warmly welcomed by the neighbors in the neighborhood, and they all came to congratulate him on getting No.1 in the exam.Even Mr. Jiang, the county magistrate, came to congratulate him in person and gave him 50 taels of silver as a reward.There is not much money, but it is an honor that makes people envious and jealous.

It was already noon when I got home, and I didn't care about rest. I cleaned up the house in the afternoon, and then Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe went to Gu's house to pick up Xiaoan.I haven't seen him for nearly a month, I don't know if this little guy misses them.

As soon as they arrived at the Gu family's old house, everyone was waiting for them in the yard, and everyone had smiles on their faces.When Xiao An saw them coming in, she shouted "Father, Daddy", but rushed towards Gu Xihe.

Zhang Chi stepped forward quickly, took him into his arms, scratched his nose with a smile, and said, "Does Xiao An miss his father?"

Xiao An nodded repeatedly, put his arms around his neck, and said loudly: "I miss my father, I miss my father too!"

"Well, father and father miss you too."

Zhang Chi kissed him on the cheek twice in satisfaction, and put him down.

"Hey, your dad is tired, don't make trouble with him."

Xiao An nodded like a little adult, "Well, Xiao An has grown up, Xiao An is good!"

Gu Xihe patted Xiaoan's head, took his little hand, and together with Zhang Chi came to Gu Zuocheng and Gu Lishi, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Father, mother, I'm back."

Gu Zuocheng smiled like a flower, and quickly bent down to help him up, his hands trembling with excitement.

"Xihe did well in the exam! Give our parents Gu a disgrace! The patriarch originally wanted to hold a big celebration banquet for you, but I rejected it. Let's get together as a family today, and you can go tomorrow Kowtow to the patriarch and make him happy."

Gu Xihe didn't want to be too high-profile, his father's actions were just what he wanted, and he nodded repeatedly, "Father, I'll listen to you."

"Okay! Let's go, go into the house! Let Zhang Chi have a drink with me tonight!"

After finishing speaking, she dragged him and Zhang Chi into the house.

The food and wine had been prepared long ago, and the table was full, even richer than during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Zuocheng said: "Zhang Chi! This wine was sent by Jiangzhi County, which is said to be the wine given by the emperor when he passed the Jinshi examination. This Jiangzhi County is good, and I can prepare some gifts for him in return in two days. He It's the parent officer of a county, and we can't be rude to give us such a big name."

"Yes, father."

"Come on, come on, fill up the wine, let's wish Xihe the first place, and taste this rare good wine."

Gu Xibao was the youngest and poured wine for everyone on the table.

Seeing a large glass of wine in front of him, Zhang Chi looked at Gu Xihe, and signaled with his eyes, "Neither of us can drink."

Gu Xihe nodded, took the wine glass in front of Zhang Chi to himself, and said in a low voice, "Father, Brother Chi can't drink."

"Why?" Gu Zuocheng raised his eyebrows, "This is your big happy event. She is your wife, so she should be even more happy. How can you stop drinking? Are you tired from going out?"

"No. He," Gu Xihe blushed slightly, and whispered something in Gu Zuocheng's ear.

Gu Zuocheng's eyes lit up, and his eyes suddenly fixed on Zhang Chi.

"Zhang Chi, is it true?"

Zhang Chi nodded shyly.

Gu Zuocheng grinned even wider, "Okay! Okay! I didn't expect us to have a double happiness! Xihe, you prescribed medicine today and have a drink with me!"

"No, Dad, Xihe can't be with you!" Zhang Chi finished speaking, and quickly added, "Xihe has caught a cold these two days and coughed badly. The doctor said he can't drink."

Gu Zuocheng stared, "Xihe caught a cold? Why are you so careless! Please ask Dr. Liu to come and see you later. You are weak, so you have to take it to heart."

Gu Xihe hurriedly said, "Father, I'm already taking medicine, and I'm much better today."

"Ah That's good."

Gu Xihe couldn't drink alcohol in the first place, and Gu Zuocheng didn't force him.

The conversation between the three of them had already attracted everyone's attention. At this time, the third daughter-in-law interrupted and asked, "Father? What do you mean by the double happiness you just said?"

Gu Zuocheng laughed loudly, "Look at me, I was so happy that I didn't tell you guys. The second child's family is happy! Tell me, is it worth drinking two cups!"

Gu Xicai was also full of joy, "Second brother-in-law is happy? That's great! Father is right, it's really worth getting drunk!"

Gu Li couldn't believe it at first, but then put his hands together, closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless."

After reading it several times, she seemed to be relieved, and a smile bloomed on her face: "The second child also has a child, I am finally relieved!"

Wang Yinghong smiled and said, "Mother, it's all over now, you can have two grandchildren this year!"

"Yes, yes! Tomorrow I'm going to the town to find Mrs. Liu, and I'll make an appointment for you two first. By the way, Mrs. Gui, I'll go buy a few more chickens tomorrow and stew them every day for the second child's family. In the past. Xihe is an innocent, and Zhang Chi is rough, it doesn't matter to them two adults, you can't treat my good grandson badly!"

Aunt Gui agreed with a smile all over her face.

Gu Zuocheng drank happily, but Gu Lishi remembered something, "Xihe! Zhang Chi is pregnant, so your teahouse can't be opened?"

Gu Xihe was about to talk about it when he said, "Mom, we will continue."

Gu Lishi glared, then suppressed her smile, "How can it be? Zhang Chi is a man now. Shuang'er is not as safe as a woman when she is pregnant, so how can she go out and show her face?"

Zhang Chi said lightly: "Mother, I know my own body, and there is nothing uncomfortable now. When my belly gets bigger, I will naturally stay at home."

Gu Lishi wanted to say more, but Gu Zuocheng put down the wine glass heavily and opened his mouth.

"I went to your teahouse a few days ago to see it. The second floor was added, the area was enlarged, and the renovation was good. In fact, Zhangchi just didn't go there. There were Cui Jingshun and Sun Zheng, and Xihe was watching there. It should be no problem."

"I think so too." Gu Xihe followed the old man's words, "It's just that Pinmingzhai has also invited a master to tell a story, which is obviously a match for our teahouse. Brother Chi is worried that the business of the teahouse will be affected, so, He wants to stay in the teahouse for a while while his body is not obvious. Only when the business of the teahouse stabilizes can he feel at ease."

Gu Zuocheng looked at Zhang Chi, "Zhang Chi, are you sure you can do it?"

"Father, I don't feel much now, and my stomach is not big. If I'm idle at home, I can't rest assured. Why don't I go to the teahouse to help. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Gu Lishi said beside him: "Zhang Chi! You are still young and inexperienced. Having a body is not a child's play. If there is an accident, it will be a big event."

Zhang Chi nodded, "Mother, thank you, I will be careful. Dad, the teahouse finally got the current situation. If we let it go, wouldn't the previous efforts be in vain?"

Gu Zuocheng pondered for a long time before saying, "Okay! You have to be careful. If you and Xihe have any difficulties, ask your elder brother and third younger brother for help."

Seeing that the old man agreed, Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, and agreed in unison.

Even without Zhang Chi's company, Mr. Gu was still drunk.He just doesn't get drunk and everyone gets drunk, so he couldn't stop laughing all night, and couldn't stop saying: "It's a pity that Zhang Chi can't drink with me!"

Because both Wang Yinghong and Zhang Chi were pregnant, the third child's baby was young, and Gu Xihe was not feeling well, so the banquet ended early.

Gu Zuocheng's eyes were already narrowed, "You all go back and rest! Xihe, Zhang Chi, go all the way, rest for a few more days, the business of the teahouse is not in a hurry."

"Yes, father."

Zhang Chi took Gu Xihe with one hand, and Xiao An's hand with the other, and walked home. His wife and children were all by his side, and he felt so happy in his heart.

The night in spring is not so cold anymore, but the street is very quiet and there are almost no pedestrians.The little lantern in Xiao An's hand was shaking, illuminating the way home.

Suddenly, Xiao An's soft voice sounded, "Father, do I want a little brother?"

Zhang Chi stopped, squatted down, and said seriously: "Not necessarily, it may be the younger brother or the younger sister. Do you like the younger brother or the younger sister?"

Xiao An tilted her head, thought for a while and said, "I like my brother."

"Okay, then give birth to a younger brother to play with you."

Zhang Chi wanted to hug him, but Xiao An struggled not to give in.

"Grandma said that father and father have a younger brother, so they can't hug Xiaoan anymore."

In the dim light, Xiao An's eyelashes were drooping, and she couldn't see the emotion in her eyes, but her little face was obviously depressed.

Zhang Chi secretly smiled, the little guy is jealous, right?Worried that if you have a younger brother, you won't like him anymore?

He hugged Xiao An and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even with a younger brother, you are still the child of father and father. Father and father will still love you as before."

"Really?" Xiao An raised her eyes to look at him, her big eyes were moist.

Zhang Chi scratched his nose and said with a smile: "Of course, when did father and father lie to you? You and younger brother are both children of father and father, and we will love you equally. You are an older brother, and you can teach younger brother how to speak , walk, you can also teach him to read, read and play games. You will like your brother, and your brother will like you very much."

Xiao An was bewitched, "Really?"

"Yes."

Xiao An put one arm around Zhang Chi's arm, buried her face in his neck, and said sullenly: "Okay! Then I like my brother too."

Gu Xihe laughed, "How do you know it's the younger brother? What if it's the younger sister?"

Xiao An blinked her big eyes, then turned to look at Zhang Chi, "Father, are you brother or sister?"

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Xiao An said he is the younger brother, so he must be the younger brother."

Before arriving home, Xiao An fell asleep.Zhang Chi put him on the bed in the bedroom and settled him down before returning to his room.

Gu Xihe had already washed up, and was leaning against the kang head in his white undershirt.He closed his eyes slightly, with a tired look on his face.

Zhang Chi stepped forward to hold his hand, and said in a low voice, "Are you tired? Go to bed first, I'll go wash up, and I'll be right back."

Said to help him lie down, and covered him with a quilt.

Gu Xihe opened his eyes and took his hand.

"Brother Chi, my father and mother are so nervous about this child. If I say I want to study in the mountains, they will definitely not agree."

Zhang Chi sat on the edge of the kang, patted his hand lightly, and said softly, "I will. Didn't Mr. Lu think it through? Father won't refuse what he says. Don't worry, Mr. Lu will give us everything." After thinking so much, there will be no problem. You just need to take care of your body."

"it is good."

Zhang Chi stroked his forehead lightly, and said in a low voice: "Xihe, don't think too much, I'm here!"

Gu Xihe was indeed tired, closed his eyes, and nodded slightly.

When Zhang Chi was on the kang, Gu Xihe had already fallen asleep.He looked at his profile and couldn't fall asleep.

He remembered what Gu Xihe said when he was in the academy, "Teacher, even if I can't become an official in the future, I still want to have this child."

"Then what are you going to do in the future? Do you care for your husband and teach your children like a twin?"

Lu Kaiting's complexion was not very good, and his tone was much harsher.

Gu Xihe bit his lip and raised his head after a while, "Teacher, can I teach in your book? I will preach to the children. I will also pass on all my knowledge to them just like you. .”

Lu Kaiting looked at him coldly, "Are you sure?"

"Ah."

Lu Kaiting looked at him for a while, then sighed, "Xihe, I grew up with you, and I know what kind of temperament you are. Although the country is peaceful now, there are few honest and fair officials in every state and government. Corruption and corruption have many people who neglect human lives, and the lives of ordinary people are not easy. If this continues, the world will be disrupted in a short time. I have already mentioned you before His Royal Highness, as long as you can pass the autumn test, he can recruit you. Donggong, after you assist him to ascend the throne, you can help him completely rule the world and bring benefits to the common people. But you..."

Gu Xihe raised his head in surprise, "His Royal Highness? Isn't he only in his teens this year?"

Lu Kaiting nodded, "That's right, Your Highness is just 14 years old this year. But there are crises everywhere in the palace. If he doesn't plan ahead, there will be no room for him."

Zhang Chi was even more surprised, "Teacher, how did you know the prince?"

In his impression, the crown prince is the future emperor, and Lu Kaiting is just a teacher in an academy. How could the two of them have any relationship?

Gu Xihe turned to him and said, "Teacher was originally an official in the court, but because he was framed by a traitor, he returned to his hometown to teach."

Lu Kaiting sighed, "When I left the court, although the crown prince was young, he already had difficulties in his chest. I will never give up on him. We have been in touch for so many years. I am old and can't help him too much, so I can't help him too much. Xihe is recommended.”

Gu Xihe lowered his head, "Teacher, I have let you down."

Lu Kaiting lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.

Zhang Chi has been silent all the time, what he thinks is, from now on, can Xihe only stay at home with her husband and children?How can he, Zhang Chi, make him willingly abandon his ideals and settle down in his family?

"Teacher, when is the imperial examination?"

"August this year."

"After the palace examination, His Royal Highness can recruit Xihe to work with him?"

"Correct."

Suddenly, Zhang Chi had an idea, "Teacher, I have an idea, do you think it will work?"

After hearing Zhang Chi's idea, Lu Kaiting nodded, "You can give it a try."

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi let out a sigh of relief. Since he has made this decision, no matter what, he must succeed!
