Her straightforward words and calm tone made her blush and make her heart beat.
"You...you..."
"Me what?"
Looking at his teasing look in the darkness, Cheng Xue bit her lip——
"Is this the sense of ritual you are talking about?"
"The imperial examination is a ritual that is given to you."
"So are you sure you can win?"
Hearing the suspicion in her tone, Li Hui chuckled "Pfft-".
"This is not making dumplings. I say you can make dumplings with whatever fillings you want. I'm not sure, so I want to be a real couple with you after the imperial examination."
"Then according to what you say, if you win, you won't be a real couple with me?"
"Don't make excuses." Li Hui pinched the back of her neck hard, "We can't tell each other if we hit or not, I'm just saying that, just listen to me."
Cheng Xuejiao muttered "sophistry", turned her back to him, and closed her eyes.
I have never seen such a person. You may say that he is capable and free-spirited, but this matter is a grind. You may say that he is grinding and procrastinating. When establishing a relationship, she was caught off guard.
Feeling the heat behind her, she shook her shoulders uncomfortably, and then heard——
"Don't move, I don't want to advance the day."
"Can you please stop...um——"
Before Cheng Xue could finish her words, he pinched her chin, and then she was speechless.
Feeling his strong heartbeat, she did not resist. They are both adults, and establishing a relationship requires a sense of ritual, but it always feels awkward to have a sense of ritual when doing this.
Suddenly, his rough breathing could be heard in my ears.
He was considerate and remembered that it would be uncomfortable for her to turn her head, so he put her whole body in his arms, turned her flat, held her waist with one hand, clasped the back of her head with the other, and kissed her deeply again with satisfaction.
Cheng Xue surrendered, thinking that she could succeed in the rainy night this time, but who would have thought——
"Wait until I come back."
Cheng Xue said "Hmm" obediently, lying sideways on his chest, listening to the "pattering" of rain outside, and closed her eyes.
That's all, for such a principled straight man, she has no other choice but to pamper him. Tomorrow's dumplings cannot be made with leeks. The rules in the palace prohibit eating anything flavorful, so let's just use cabbage.
Deliberately think about something, so that you can forget the blush just now...
……
After eating farewell dumplings, Tiandong drove behind Bai Rui's car, three cars one behind the other, heading towards the palace.
Cheng Xue stood motionless in front of the door. She would be lying if she said she was not worried. After staying in the palace for half a month, no matter how careful and careful she is, if she really gets caught, her head will move.
"Madam, please relax. Now that the rain has stopped, Master and the others will be fine."
"You are very good at talking."
"It is my luck to make my wife feel happy and no longer worry. I will drive the car for you today. It just so happens that I am going to the south corner of the city to find some people to come back and dig the ditch in the house again."<
/p>
"Then stay a little longer and let's go back to our hometown together." Cheng Xue suggested.
It would take ten days to dig and drain such a large yard, not half a month, so we might as well go together.
Li Zhong shook his head when he heard this, smiled and said pragmatically:
"No, madam, when the house is ready, I will go back and leave you with a double happiness. If you walk quickly, you can catch up with the crops and seal the ridges."
The old farmer has been busy with the little harvest in the fields all year round. He saw the spring plowing, but he didn't see the emergence of seedlings, so he had to hurry back. It's not that he didn't trust Ma Kuo, but since he was "in charge", he had to go all out.
Don’t let the host find fault.
Cheng Xue understood his caution and turned around to go back home with him.
Looking at Shunxi who was helping the kitchen with water in the distance, she pursed her lips at him——
"Hey, while you're here, take a good look at Shunxi. That's the son-in-law I chose for you. I plan to marry Tangtang when she gets married. Brother Xin, as you know, without any parents, I have to
Find two smart and capable people for him, and let him take Shunxi with him when Tiandong comes back."
Since she has given all four children to her, she must be responsible to the end. There is currently no suitable match for Tiandong's marriage, so she has to wait. Moreover, he is a man, so it will be fine after a few years of delay. But Bai Shao cannot do it, and her daughter's family
There are only a few of her best years, she can't waste them.
Li Zhong had heard this news from his son a long time ago, but he still couldn't hide his excitement. He saluted respectfully and said:
"Thank you, Madam. Madam and the Master have shown such great kindness to us and my wife. We will never forget it."
"You're welcome. As long as you take good care of your hometown, I will find a good way out for your four children. Although I can't let them deregister, I can ensure their dignity and food and clothing."
There was something in Cheng Xue's words, and he completely understood it. He saluted again and looked away completely:
"It's a blessing for our family to meet a master like you. It's just a 'registration'. If we really want to let the little people be free, it's not necessarily what their lives will be like. When the palace exam is over, I will go back to the village to pay homage to my ancestors. By the way,
I'm happy to be taken care of by my old slave for two days, and I'll keep everything properly arranged for the eldest lady."
Being used to living in a wealthy family, their temperament and temperament are already different from those of ordinary people. To put it bluntly, they are pretending to be powerful, and they cannot be grandchildren. No matter where the couple goes in Wanghe Village, people greet them, and slaves can be upright.
The mayor of the town, or even Chang Sui, who is close to the county magistrate, speaks to someone, how can he not know whose face they are looking at?
It was precisely because of Li Zhong's clear vision that when the previous owner's family was in trouble, their family of six were sold together to Liaodong. Every time he thought about this, he admired his decision. If he hesitated for a moment at that time, he would not
There is today’s creation.
Of course, their family is now taking a big gamble.
If the master's family doesn't cause trouble, their family of six will have a bright future. But once the master's family causes trouble, their family of six will have to take the knife.
As the saying goes, wealth is gained through risk.
Li Zhong put the car on and waited for her to get in the car and said:
"Madam, why don't you follow the old slave to the south of the city? The craftsmen's wages there are cheap and the carving skills are good. Our family needs workers to dig ditches. We can look for a craftsman on the way and kill two birds with one stone."
The workers currently employed in the string houses were all arranged by Xiao Qinglin. She didn’t know where the wages were paid. Moreover, the three string houses were waiting to be renovated, so the workers would definitely not be busy at the shops on the main street.
In this case, it is necessary to go to the south of the city with him. If everything goes well, take him there directly for decoration to save time.
"Okay, I'll go back to the room to get my things first, and then we'll go over there."
"Okay, okay."
After a while, Cheng Xue came back and quickly got into the carriage. Li Zhong drove off from the back door.
It had been drizzling for several days in Beijing, but it finally cleared up, and there were suddenly more pedestrians on the road.
Li Zhong drove the car skillfully along the small road. Although there were many twists and turns, there were few pedestrians and he could walk fast, so his time would not be wasted...
