There is fog in the morning in autumn, and it is especially thick today. The water vapor gathers into mist, like thin yarns, and pieces of white yarn are floating in the air.
It makes this small courtyard look like a fairyland.
When Su Qian got dressed and walked out of the room, bursts of fragrance wafted from the kitchen. It seemed that Xu Qing was cooking.
Su Qian came to the kitchen and looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table. She couldn't help but be startled, and the sweet and sour short ribs that rarely appeared on breakfast were also among them.
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Is today a special day?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "I got up a little early today. After I got up, I couldn't sleep. I just did whatever I wanted. That's all. Sit down and eat."
When Xu Qing turned around, he saw Su Qian's eyes were a little dark and asked, "Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
Su Qian's eyes dodged for a moment and she said, "Last night, I had a nightmare."
Then Su Qianyou looked at Xu Qing's dark circles and said, "Husband, you haven't slept well either?"
Xu Qing's eyes were a little dodged and he said, "I had a nightmare last night. I'll boil two eggs later and roll them over my eyes. That should be enough."
At this time, Magistrate Su walked in...
Su Qian looked at Magistrate Su: "Father didn't sleep well last night?"
Magistrate Su felt Su Qian's gaze and his eyes subconsciously dodge: "Last night... I had a nightmare for my father..."
Today's breakfast was quite amazing. The three of us finished the meal with dark circles under our eyes.
After finishing the meal, Magistrate Su left in a hurry. He wanted to create more time for his daughter and son-in-law to spend time together.
At this time, the eggs were cooked. Xu Qing peeled off the egg shells, stood behind Su Qian, placed the eggs with a suitable temperature on Su Qian's eyes and rolled them gently: "Madam, are you feeling better?"
Su Qian said "hmm" and said, "It's very comfortable."
After Xu Qing helped Su Qian, Su Qian helped Xu Qing again, and now both of them felt comfortable.
The business of the tavern today is not as hot as yesterday. Yesterday, we took advantage of a wave of customers' curiosity and love of taking advantage, and attracted a large number of passers-by who did not understand the situation and loved to take advantage.
It won’t work today, I’ve learned well.
There are mostly warriors and swordsmen in the tavern.
They would only ask for one or two taels of wine and a few snacks to eat, but they would not dare to ask for more. Most of them walked alone, and there would be no one to carry them back when they were drunk.
In Dachu, civilians were allowed to hold knives and bows by law, but it was strictly forbidden to hide armor and crossbows. Anyone who dared to hide these two items would be punished with treason, and there was no room for negotiation.
When Su Qian returned to Su Mansion at noon, she saw a large table of sumptuous meals again.
Although Xu Qing has never chased a woman, he knows that if you want to capture a person's heart, you must first capture that person's stomach.
As long as you catch Su Qian's stomach, you will be more than 98% successful.
In short, conquering Su Qian, a desolate but arrogant and cute woman like this, is a long-term task and should not be rushed.
After eating, Su Qian habitually went to the back garden for a walk to eat.
Magistrate Su poked his head out from the door again, looked at Xu Qing who was sitting in a daze under the tree and said, "What are you doing here?"
Xu Qing looked at Magistrate Su: "I... didn't do anything..."
Magistrate Su looked at Xu Qing: "Did you know that Qian'er went to the back garden?"
Xu Qing nodded: "I know, she said she went to eat, and it happens every day after lunch, so it's not unusual."
At this time, Magistrate Su showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel: "You know Qian'er went to the back garden and you are still sitting here?!"
Xu Qing blinked: "Then where should I go?"
Magistrate Su County said: "Of course you went to the back garden! Tell me, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Even if you have nothing to say to Qian'er, you might as well go for a walk with her to eat. How stupid! How stupid.
Do you know how a stupid person like you can run a bookstore?"
In this way, Xu Qing was mercilessly driven to the back garden by Magistrate Su. Xu Qing felt that his father-in-law was more anxious than himself.
Although the back garden of Su Mansion is not very big, it is warm and cozy.
There are not only waterside pavilions, but also swings and other play facilities.
A quiet path leads to the depths of the back garden.
From time to time, several servants walked by in the back garden. When they saw Xu Qing, they bowed and called "Uncle," and then left quickly.
Su Qian noticed the footsteps behind her, turned back to look at Xu Qing and asked, "Why is your husband here?"
Xu Qing rubbed his stomach and said, "I ate too much today and wanted to go out for a walk."
Su Qian nodded and said, "Then let's go together."
Just like that, the two of them were walking together in the back garden, maybe they could say a few words.
When the two of them passed by the swing, Su Qian said casually: "I still remember the last time I went on the swing when I was six years old. Now ten years have passed, and as time goes by, things have changed."
Ten years ago, Su Qian's mother was still alive, and now things can indeed be said to have changed.
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Yes, I think back then I was just a little catcher under my wife's command."
Su Qian said: "Now this little detective has become the largest bookseller in Yongzhou City. It is really amazing."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Everything in the world is unpredictable."
If it weren't for Su Qian who took him to two poetry gatherings and met Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue, he might still be slowly saving money to open a shop, and how would he have achieved such an achievement.
He also did several businesses with the prince, which was completely absent from his original career plan.
Now, even if Xu Qing no longer opens a shop, he can still lead Su Qian to live a prosperous life with the title promised by the wise king.
But now is not the time, he can't leave yet, the Xu family is still alive and well.
The hatred for seizing your wife is irreconcilable!
Do you dare to steal your wife from Xu Qing, and also want to force your wife to marry the young master with kidney deficiency in the Xu family?
It’s unbearable! There’s a price to pay!
It's a pity that today's Xu family still doesn't have any flaws, and it's difficult to make mistakes.
But... the future is long. If he doesn't make mistakes for a while, can he still make no mistakes for the rest of his life?
Now the Xu family wants to take advantage of Magistrate Su to retaliate against Magistrate Su. So isn’t Xu Qing trying to take advantage of the Xu family to retaliate against the Xu family?
Hunters and prey are so elusive sometimes!
If you can’t take care of Prince Xian’s Mansion, you can’t take care of the Xu family?
Xu Mansion
Xu Shen sneezed hard and shuddered heavily.
He raised his head and looked at the gray weather. It was getting colder and colder today, and it looked like he needed to put on more clothes.
