I was engaged in construction in ancient times

Duan Shubai and his wife took a nap on the bed for half an hour.

Duan Shubai who opened his eyes kissed Xiao Yuhe on the cheek, lifted the quilt lightly and got off the bed, stood in front of the bronze mirror to put on his clothes, put on his coat, fastened his belt, and tied his hair behind him into a high Gao Ponytail, after treating him like a dog, turned around and returned to the bedside to sit down, while massaging Xiao Yuhe's waist, gently calling him to get up.

Xiao Yuhe lay sideways on the soft pillow, the breath he exhaled was warm and sweet, his eyes were closed tightly, and his long and smooth eyelashes made him look extremely gentle and obedient, Duan Shu called his name in vain, Xiao Yuhe I was woken up but unwilling to open my eyes, like a big cat, whimpering and covering the quilt and ignoring it.

Duan Shubai smiled and fished him out of the bed.

Xiao Yuhe followed his movements and continued to sleep on his stomach in his arms.

"My dear Yuhe, wake up."

Xiao Yuhe barely opened half of his eyes, Duan Shubai pecked at the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, he grabbed his hand: "I'm so tired, I don't want to move, I don't want to wear clothes."

"My husband will wear it for you." Duan Shubai felt that he was wrong, and honestly served his beloved husband to dress. Xiao Yu lay in his arms like a soft dumpling and let him play. Duan Shubai carefully After dressing him and touching his thin waistline and slender legs, he suddenly realized that Xiao Yuhe had lost a lot of weight during the few months he was away.

The slender waist is full of grips, and it is a bit scary to touch carefully. Xiao Yuhe was raised by the soup when she was pregnant, and it has only been a long time. Sharp enough to poke people.

Duan Shubai's heart softened, and a hint of distress flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Yuhe was woken up a long time ago by his rustling movements of dressing, and smiled lightly as he watched his husband dress him, "Come, sit down, and my husband will comb your hair."

Xiao Yuhe nodded like a little squirrel holding a pine cone.

Duan Shubai chose a bright yellow headband, walked behind Xiao Yuhe to tie his hair, picked up his long hair, which was as smooth as ink, and gathered it strand by strand. After combing, "Okay."

Duan Shubai felt very satisfied. He had exercised well when he was in Yuanzhou, and now he looks good when he combs his hair. He was afraid that his beauty-loving husband would be dissatisfied, so he secretly trained hundreds of times, and now he is victorious. As a teacher, he can't figure out the too complicated ones, but the simple ones are already handy.

"Would you like to take a mirror for you to take a look at?"

Xiao Yuhe raised his hand to touch his temples, smiled and shook his head.

"So much trust in your husband's craftsmanship? How good." Duan Shubai grabbed Xiao Yuhe's left hand with a teasing smile, gently kissed the lotus print on his wrist, and slowly stroked the white, tender and smooth back of his hand.

On the back of the hand near the phalanx of the index finger, there is a small red spot, the size of a soybean grain, very eye-catching on the white skin, Duan Shubai touched the small spot and asked, "What's wrong with you here?"

Xiao Yuhe withdrew his left hand and explained: "When the bridesmaids were offering incense, their hands shook, and they were burned by the falling incense ash. I applied some medicine every night, and it disappeared in about ten days."

After Duan Shubai left, Xiao Yuhe was still uneasy even after hearing the good news ahead. He prayed for him day and night. .

Duan Shubai touched his hand and found a few faint red spots on his thumb and arm, he frowned, "Why are you so careless, do you know that you should pay more attention in the future? Scars from burnt incense ash are the worst. , and it still burns so badly, my husband will personally give you the medicine in the evening."

"En." Xiao Yuhe's eyes were full, and his beautiful eyes smiled into crescents.

Duan Shubai knelt down, picked up the white jade boots on the side, and put them on for him one by one, clapped his hands, and said with a light smile, "Can I go now? I can't, my husband will carry you out."

Xiao Yuhe slipped down from the bed, "I don't want you to hug me."

If you take him out personally, you will lose the face of Mr. Xiao, and there are still guests at home, otherwise... everyone will know that they did that thing during the day.

After walking a few steps forward, Xiao Yuhe's legs went limp, as if they had been split apart, and now they still felt like they couldn't close together. If they didn't take a good step, they sprained to one side.

Duan Shubai who was behind him quickly helped him up, and hooked his waist with a smile.

Facing his rather handsome smiling face so close at hand, Xiao Yuhe said with disgust, "Whatever you smile, it's all your fault, help me out."

"As you order, my lady."

The two walked to the banquet hand in hand, and Ma Shuqin had already greeted the servant girl to serve the dishes. When they entered, the big round table was full of people, and there were only two of them missing. I went to the hall for breastfeeding.

Before entering the hall, the two of them were close to each other. Xiao Yuhe hurriedly pushed Duan Shubai away after seeing so many people. grab his hand.

Xiao Yuhe blushed slightly.

The two seats reserved in front of the round table belonged to them. Duan Shubai led Xiao Yuhe to sit on the main seat. Ma Shuqin smiled and said, "Why are you two here now?"

"I haven't seen Yuhe for a few months. I have a lot to say, and the time was delayed during the conversation. I ask my mother-in-law and several uncles and aunts to forgive me."

"I can forgive you, you can forgive me, husband and wife are loving..."

"Look at these two little couples. It's like not seeing each other for several months. I miss them so much."

……

The third lady echoed Ma Shuqin and teased them both for a while.

Xiao Yueqing sat at the banquet and looked at the two of them, her eyes kept falling on the two of them. Fortunately, everyone sitting was looking at them, and her gaze was not abrupt. As soon as Xiao Yuhe came in, she noticed—— Another change of clothes.

She smiled coldly in her heart, she really had to dress up carefully all the time.

There was a lazy, charming charm between the brows, as if it had been nourished by something, and beside him, the handsome man who attracted him so much was whispering to him, the picture of the two getting along was intimate and tender It was enviable, a little bit of sourness rose in her heart for some reason, and her cold face became even more icy.

Duan Shubai took care of Xiao Yuhe and brought him a lot of food, "Come, eat more."

Although Xiao Yuhe kept telling him not to pinch, he smiled and ate all the dishes that the other party brought to him. Ma Shuqin saw that he ate twice as much as usual.

After dinner, Duan Shubai had something to do and was called away. Before leaving, he hooked Xiao Yuhe's little finger with his little finger, and Xiao Yuhe felt his palms feel itchy and warm.

The Xiao family who finally got together sat around drinking tea and talking. The dishes on the table were removed and replaced with some hot tea.

Xiao Yuhe hugged Xiao Tuantuan, Xiao Tuantuan was tightly wrapped, like a small heater in his arms, one of his little claws tightly grasped Xiao Yuhe's hand, yawned, and entered the room after the meal. rest time.

Xiao Yuhe stared at the child in his arms, feeling that Tuantuan really looked more and more like someone.

Ma Shuqin was proud today, smiling until the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes piled up. In front of everyone, she showed off her son-in-law: "When I first came here, I said I wanted to burn incense and worship Buddha. You know that I am used to Respecting the Buddha, there are no temples or monasteries near Xinyang City. I originally wanted to build a Buddhist hall at home to worship Bodhisattvas. Who knows that I just mentioned this, and Shubai said that he would go to the mountain to build a Buddhist temple for me... "

"It's built on that mountain, and I'll give it to you. That mountain is particularly immortal, with beautiful mountains and waters. When the sun comes out in the morning, there is a golden light shining on the top of the temple... I will take you to worship together in a few days."

Ma Shuqin was talking excitedly, the third lady was holding it, the second lady was gnashing her teeth, and the second lady scolded in her heart: "Look at you eating bear's paws, your mouth is full of oil, and you don't see a heart for Buddha. Gai Gai Gai Building a temple is a waste of money and people. Pooh, I will build a palace in the future to show you how rare and strange it is.

Xiao Yueqing was also feeling uncomfortable. The second lady glanced at Xiao Yuhe who was holding the child beside her, her eyes rolled wildly, and she changed the subject aloud: "This child looks really good, the general's child is mighty, Yuhe When will there be another one?"

The third lady agreed: "Yes, yes, it would be good to have another one."

The second wife lifted it up to the ear with no deep meaning, "This man just likes more children and more blessings."

"Kids do matter."

"Do you still remember the couple from Mrs. Liu's family in the capital? At the time when the couple got married, everyone envied them. Didn't it add a few more beautiful little girls."

"As a woman's family, we must be virtuous. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Don't worry about how many confidante you have. Just keep your wife in the right place."

"Other cats and dogs can't climb up to this position. Even if they give birth to a child, it will be the birth of a concubine. Throughout the ages, there has been a difference."

"Be considerate, and men won't be disgusted."

...These wives of the Hou family talked about their housekeeper's handling of the house in front of the children, and they chatted with each other.

Xiao Yu and his left ear went in and the right ear went out to listen a lot, and his stomach swelled with nausea. He stood up holding Tuan Tuan, "Mother, I'm a little tired, go back and rest first."

"Okay, you are really tired today."

Xiao Yuhe stepped out of the threshold with the child in his arms, and the cold wind outside was blowing on his face, as if cut by a knife.

Not long after Duan Shubai left, or after taking down Yuanzhou, there was a lot of gossip in Xinyang City. Someone gave him a woman, and Xiao Yuhe turned those people away. Then he got up and said that he was a twin son, married to General Duan as his wife, and was not a good "wife".

The gossip behind the scenes more or less reached his ears.

"One of his sons became the general's first wife, but he didn't take the initiative to take a concubine for the general."

"Shuang'er is a bastard. He was lucky enough to give birth to a baby boy. Most Shuang'er can only have one child in their lifetime. How can a general have only one child..."

"It's just because he is beautiful now, he dominates the general, and waits for a few years... Since ancient times, he only listens to newcomers laughing and doesn't see old ones crying. He doesn't take advantage of this time to accumulate virtue for himself."

"If you want me to tell you, it's better to marry a woman with big breasts and round buttocks, so you can have children."

"The twins are so vicious, they drive those beautiful women to feed the ducks... This reminds me of a person, shhh, that evil concubine who is a disaster for the country."

……

When Duan Shubai came back this time, he brought many soldiers with him and transported them to Yangzhou in batches. After dinner, he went to learn about the rest of the soldiers in Xinyang City. A few small problems have been solved by the team leader below.

He brought people back to garrison, intending to take all the pirates and foreign islanders away in the next year, and take back several islands near Yangzhou.

The people sent by Su Gang reported to him the monitoring situation, "There have been some changes in the pirates, and we have wiped out a lot of small groups that caused troubles. The attack should be unlikely."

"Ask your Captain Su to stabilize the situation over there for me, and keep an eye on the movements of the pirates."

"Yes."

After returning to Xinyang City, he didn't worry about resting too much. He held a meeting after training to deal with business as usual. There are a lot of preparations to be done as the New Year approaches. He still plans to write a few Spring Festival couplets for everyone this year. The people in the city rejoice. Spend the second New Year in Xinyang City.

The night before, there was a sudden gust of goose-feather snowfall in the dark night sky. Xinyang City, which thought that there would be no snow this year, still had its first snowfall.

Duan Shubai took a sip of hot wine and walked into the mansion. The branches were covered with snow, and the world was full of white pear blossoms.

Xiao Yueqing was dressed in red and wore a sable jacket, like a wintersweet in the snow, standing on the stone bridge and holding an oil-paper umbrella, with her back to Duan Shubai, she walked forward with the umbrella, walking Arriving at Duan Shubai's daily path, the beauty Pingting walked by on the snow, and a fragrant soft handkerchief suddenly fell from the snow.

In the carved window in the attic in the distance, a little maid secretly looked at this side.

Duan Shubai slowly swallowed the strong wine in his mouth, walked forward all the way with his head held high, while looking straight ahead, without bowing his head, let alone bending over, he walked past that place in a smooth manner.

The little maid, Xiangyun, came out and picked up the handkerchief, trotted to Xiao Yueqing, and handed her the white handkerchief embroidered with Treading the Snow and Finding Plum Blossoms: "Girl, look."

Xiao Yueqing stared blankly at the black footprints on it, and murmured after a long time: "How could he not see it."

It's fine if you don't see it, and you stepped on it.

"Girl, you chose the wrong veil. Snow fell on the ground, and the white veil covered the snow and you can't see it clearly. The general didn't see it for a while."

Xiao Yueqing said shyly and angrily, "I showed off the plum blossoms with my own hands."

How could he turn a blind eye.

"Miss, you just walked by the bridge, the general must have seen you, your steps are limping, your figure is graceful, and you are as graceful as a fairy. If I were a man, I would get drunk under the girl's pomegranate skirt, the general may not know." I have already lost my soul because of the girl's back view, so I didn't notice the champagne under my feet."

Holding the handkerchief, Xiao Yueqing stroked the footprints with her fingers, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Duan Shubai went to find Xiao Yuhe, Xiao Yuhe handed Xiao Tuantuan to the nanny, "You came back just in time, my mother asked me to play mahjong, you go with me."

Duan Shubai rushed to hug his child in his arms and coaxed him. Xiao Tuantuan hadn't seen his father for a long time, and he was no stranger to seeing him again. He babbled at him, but he was hungry, and his father had no milk for him. After eating, he asked for a nanny, Duan Shubai handed the cloth tiger beside him to Xiao Tuantuan, and then handed him over to the nanny together.

The nanny followed them with her arms in her arms.

Xiao Yuhe took Duan Shubai's hand and walked all the way forward. Duan Shubai remembered what happened just now, his eyes froze suddenly, and he suddenly said, "Yuhe, when will your second aunt and third aunt move?" Go out, I have already ordered people to prepare the house and yard."

Xiao Yuhe took his hand, "Mother said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's stay in the house and have fun together."
