The days in the twelfth lunar month are ridiculously short.
The emperor gave Huo Tian three months' leave and asked him to stay at home with his wife and children.
Of course Huo Tian couldn't resist the order, spending time with his children during the day and his wife at night.
It made Jiang Nuan a little scared when it got dark, but it was useless to be afraid.
Mr. Huo was ordered to accompany his wife, not to mention how confident he was.
"Master, please tell me again about how you got lost in the desert and met hundreds of Huns' vulture shooters." Jiang Nuan, who was held in Huo Tian's arms, said eagerly.
"How many times have I said this?" Huo Tian scratched her nose, "You still want to listen?"
"Yes, yes." Jiang Nuan nodded desperately, like a chicken pecking at rice, but he couldn't hide the cunning in his eyes.
"A Tuan, do you like to hear my experience? Or do you just want to delay time?" Huo Tian asked Jiang Nuan with a smile on his lips, looking directly into her eyes.
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but feel guilty, but still wanted to act coquettishly to cover it up.
"Your performance that time was so heroic, I think it's not surprising to hear it a few more times!"
"Do you like my bravery?" Huo Tian moved his face closer.
Jiang Nuan knew that he had to be sincere enough, so he looked at Huo Tian without blinking an eye and said in a sworn tone: "My favorite is that my father-in-law is brave and good at fighting."
"Then let you fully appreciate my bravery." Huo Tian restrained her like a hungry wolf attacking a rabbit, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Jiang Nuan was about to cry but had no tears. This trick no longer worked. She had to think of other ways.
Two days later, Jiang Nuan's aunt Yu Hanying came.
Jiang Nuan then ordered someone to invite Sang's mother to come over and talk with her.
When the two brothers Yu Dingguo and Yu Dingbang were studying, Yu Hanying sighed with sadness: "None of these two little bastards makes me worry.
I don't like reading, and I dance with guns and sticks all day long without stopping.
I was so angry that I said the two of them together were not as smart as Wei Yu.
If I had a son like Wei Yu, what would I have to worry about?"
"After establishing a country, just like my uncle, just join the martial arts." Jiang Nuan persuaded her aunt with a smile, "It's not like you have to take the path of studying.
Children like Wei Yu are born. I told him to continue studying before, but he refused.
Now he is very clear about what he does in the accounting office of this mansion, and even the senior accountants are not as good as him."
"Who says it's not the case! That's why I say that Mother Sang is a person who will be blessed later in life." Yu Hanying said, "With Wei Yu as a godson, she will have someone to rely on throughout her life.
That kid is not only smart, but also loyal, and his looks are one of a kind. It’s rare to have one thing, he is really a complete person.”
Jiang Nuan and Yu Hanying praised Wei Yu, and Sang's mother's face turned into a flower with a smile.
She was really proud of this adopted son.
Mentioning Wei Yu and Jiang Nuan reminded me of what happened some time ago, so she said, "There are no outsiders in this room, so I just said so because I wanted my aunt to help me make some ideas."
"What's the important matter?" Yu Hanying asked.
"It's not a big deal, but it's a good thing." Jiang Nuan said with a smile, "My aunt also knows that Uncle Fu's granddaughter is now in our house.
I asked Mama Sang to take care of her. Mama Sang told me a few days ago that this girl is very caring.
In fact, my father-in-law and I have been having some difficulties, not knowing how to arrange her.
Now that I heard people say that she is good in everything, I also want to fulfill her well.
I secretly figured out that she and Wei Yu were close in age, and they were fellow villagers.
The two of them are not too young to talk about marriage. I want to bring them together, but I don’t know if it’s suitable?”
After hearing this, Yu Hanying thought about it and said with a smile: "If we look at it like this, these two children are actually a couple.
But I don’t know what they are thinking in their hearts. In my opinion, it’s better to be on the safe side.
First, let Mama Sang ventilate the two of them and get their voices heard.
Don’t do bad things with good intentions, then you won’t be able to do them again.”
"I think so too," Jiang Nuan said, "Mother Sang, please ask them what they mean when you have time!"
Mother Sang is also happy to see this happen. Wei Yu is her godson and will definitely marry a maid with such benefits in the future.
She was quite satisfied with Shuang Lian, and felt that the child was quite pitiful.
So he said: "Since the girl has said so, I will ask them both later."
Yu Hanying is here, Jiang Nuan must keep her to eat.
Sang's mother came down from the upper room and happened to meet Wei Yu, so she pulled him aside.
"Godmother, what do you have to say?" Wei Yu asked with a smile, "I'm still busy checking the accounts with Mr. Zhu!"
"You kid, I won't waste your time." Mother Sang said affectionately, "Why don't you wear thicker clothes? It's cold today!"
"It's only a few steps away. It's hot in the accounting room. It's inconvenient to wear thick clothes to check accounts." Wei Yu said with a smile. He didn't even wear a hat on his head, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold. "You should go back to the house quickly."
Go ahead, but your legs will be sore again at night."
"It's okay, I'm wearing the plaster your ex-child bought for me! It's warm." Mother Sang patted her leg contentedly, "I have something to ask you, please tell me honestly."
"What do you want to ask, Godmother?" Wei Yu smiled, always smiling.
"I just came out of the girl's room. The girl said that she intends to bring you and Shuang Lian together. I wonder if you are willing?" Sang's mother asked him in a low voice.
Who would have thought that Wei Yu would say after hearing this: "My godmother must not have asked her yet, right?"
"You kid! Of course I have to ask you about this kind of thing first.
If you ask someone else's girl and she is happy with it, but later you are not happy with it, wouldn't it be a big disgrace?" Mother Sang said.
"That's what I said! If my godmother had asked her first, she wouldn't have asked me again." Wei Yu's tone was slightly cold.
"Why is your child so evil? Just say whether you are willing or not." Mother Sang urged.
"She and I will definitely not get along." Wei Yu said, "Godmother, you are a solid person, and our girls are even more so.
I just want to ask you, why did this pair make shoes for you but not socks?
If you have figured this out, there will be no need for me, the son, to say more."
"What do you have that you can't tell me directly?" Sang's mother was so angry that she slapped Wei Yu, but not hard.
Wei Yu regained her previous expression and said with a smile: "Goddess, I'm going to do my business. You should go back to the house quickly. It's really cold outside."
Mother Sang returned to the house, and Shuang Lian came in after a while.
Mother Sang saw no one around her, so she asked Shuang Lian: "Good boy, what do you think of my godson Wei Yu?"
"Why did Mama Sang suddenly mention this? Brother Wei Yu is naturally good at everything." Shuang Lian smiled and made Mama Sang a cup of tea.
"Then I'll put my shame into asking you, are you willing to marry him?" Sang's mother asked directly.
After hearing this, Shuang Lian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I only consider Wei Yu my brother."
Mother Sang knew as soon as she heard this that neither of these two people had the same feelings for each other.
