farmer's wife

Chapter 186
Nuonuo grabbed the corner of Fu Yan's clothes and huddled in her mother's arms dependently, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Granny Shi came over and looked at her with a smile, Nuonuo thought she was going to be carried away by Granny Shi again, so she quickly put her arms around Fu Yan's neck and turned to hide on the other side.

Granny Shi teased her: "Oh, don't we, Nuomuo, don't want Granny Shi anymore?"

Nuonuo hid beside Fu Yan's neck and secretly looked at Granny Shi who was smiling kindly. After a while, she still buried her head in her mother's arms.Fu Yan patted her back soothingly.

Granny Shi straightened her waist and said to Fu Yan: "After you left, Nuo Nuo became sleepy after playing for a while, and then she squinted her eyes and dozed off. I coaxed her to sleep but she didn't cry. It's not that the firecrackers outside are too loud, Covering her ears still woke her up. She was sleepy, but when she woke up and didn't see you, she started crying."

Hearing what Granny Shi said, Fu Yan felt relieved.

She said to Granny Shi: "Then I'll take her back to the room, it's getting late, Granny Shi, you should rest too."

Granny Shi looked outside, and asked her suspiciously: "Where is Ah Yang, Aman, and Ajian? Didn't you come back with you?"

"No, Tianze and Ajian still want to play for a while, so uncle and princess took them to go shopping again."

"These children, it's not cold at night, isn't there going to be a lantern festival tomorrow?" Granny Shi whispered, "It's okay, you go back to your room first, I'll wait for them."

"Okay, I'll go back first, Granny Shi, don't wait too late."

"I know."

Fu Yan carried Nuonuo to the door, Xiao Lie covered Nuonuo with her original cloak.

Nuo Nuo's eyes suddenly turned black, "Yeah?"

Xiao Lie lifted a corner of Fu Yan's shoulder, a ray of light shone in, it was father's face.

Xiao Lie said to his daughter in a warm voice: "Nuo Nuo, it's windy outside, hide in your mother's arms." After speaking, he covered up his robe, and he walked behind Fu Yan to shield her from the wind.

Nuonuo thought it was her father playing hide-and-seek with her, but her eyes flickered, she leaned on her mother's arms and laughed "giggle".

After returning to the East Chamber, Xiao Lie took off his cloak.

Fu Yan handed the child to Xiao Lie: "I just cried for a while, I'll go and pour her some warm water."

"Okay." Xiao Lie hugged Nuowuo well.

Nuo Nuo returned to her father's arms, saw her mother walking back and forth in front of her again, she didn't make a fuss, and obediently stayed in Xiao Lie's arms.

He fed Nuonuo with a small spoon and drank some warm water, Fu Yan asked Xiao Lie to put the child to sleep, and she asked someone to bring water to wash.

……

The new year begins in sleep.

**
Li Chao's winter this year was extraordinarily strange.

From the cold year ago to the new year, after the Lantern Festival, and in February, there are still occasional snowfalls.

During the Spring Festival, memorials were handed in from all parts of the north and south, asking for funding assistance to the places affected by the blizzard.Emperor Qi Zhuo reviewed them one by one, and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials to follow up and deal with them at the same time.

Ye Zhuo, on the other hand, looked to the northwest with some concern.

The turmoil in the court can't affect Yunjing's peaceful life.

It's the end of February.

This is not only Xiao Lie's birthday but also Nuo Nuo's birthday celebration.

Ye Zhuo originally wanted to invite relatives and friends to celebrate.Xiao Lie felt that it was too solemn, so he politely declined his uncle's kindness.Ye Zhuo felt a little regretful, so he had no choice but to give up, and the mansion only invited people to participate in Nuo Nuo's Zhou Catch Ceremony.

Xiao Lie's birthday was celebrated by the family in the mansion having a meal together.

Fu Yan cooked a few of Xiao Lie's favorite dishes, as well as cakes and longevity noodles.

The table was full of his own family, Xiao Lie drank a little with his uncle, and gave up when he was slightly drunk.

A small drink is delightful, but a large drink hurts the body.

After the banquet, Xiao Lie walked back to the Qijingyuan with Fu Yan without help.

Nuonuo has fallen asleep in Fu Yan's arms.Granny Shi took her and took her back to her room to sleep.

Fu Yan asked the maids and servants who followed her to retreat, while she led Xiao Lie to sit on the couch in the inner room.

Xiao Lie followed her with sparkling eyes.

Today is his birthday, uncle, princess... Even Tian Ze and A Jian have prepared birthday presents for him.Only Fu Yan hasn't given him the things she prepared.

Xiao Lie was looking forward to it, his wife would definitely not forget to prepare a birthday present for him.

Sure enough, as he wished, Fu Yan went to the antique shelf in the outer room to fetch a long box.

Xiao Lie looked at the Bogu shelf, then at the box in Fu Yan's hand, feeling a little annoyed.He didn't pay attention to the furnishings in the room at first, thinking that the box was placed there in the first place.If he had known that this was a birthday gift prepared by A Yan for him, he would have opened it up and had a look.

Fu Yan knew that he would not pay attention to these small ornaments, so she asked her uncle to put them in a conspicuous place on the shelf after buying them.It can be regarded as Fu Yan's little bad taste.

Fu Yan admired Xiao Lie's annoyed expression for a while, stopped teasing him, and handed over the long box in her hand: "Open it, and see if it suits you."

Xiao Lie held the square box with one hand, and weighed it, it was a little heavy; with the other hand, he gently stroked the delicate pattern on the surface of the box.

He gently opened the lid of the box, and a domineering and sharp longbow quietly waited for his master.

The black-golden bow is like a crescent moon, and the brilliance flows with dark lights flashing.The silver bowstring is tense on the bow, ready to go.At both ends of the bow, there are tiger heads carved, and the tiger eyes are decorated with tiny rubies, which is ferocious and majestic.

Xiao Lie gently stroked this low-key and domineering longbow, he plucked the bowstring slightly, "Boom—" the bowstring swung back in waves, Xiao Lie's eyes lit up and he saw Lie Xinxi.

Nice bow!

"Ah Yan?" Xiao Lie stood up holding his bow, wishing he could try it now.

Seeing his excited expression, Fu Yan knew that the gift was given correctly.She sat aside and watched Xiao Lie play with the bow and arrow.

Fu Yan smiled gently: "I asked my uncle to find this bow. Don't blame me for not looking for it myself. After all, I am not familiar with bows and arrows."

"No. I really like the gift prepared by Ah Yan." Xiao Lie shook his head.

I see it.Fu Yan looked at him as if he was a child who got a new toy, and couldn't put it down.

Fu Yan said again: "Actually, there are matching bows and arrows for this Huwei bow, but my uncle said that he just found it, so he ordered it for me first. The bow body was delivered two days ago, and it will take a few days to polish the bow and arrows."

"Okay." Tiger Might, the name lives up to its shape.The more Xiao Lie watched it, the more he liked it.

After admiring and playing with it for a while, Xiao Lie put the bow away again.

He walked to Fu Yan's side and squeezed together on the small couch with him.

Xiao Lie looked at Fu Yan with focused and gentle eyes, and Fu Yan's fair cheeks climbed into a rosy glow.

"What are you doing?" Fu Yan asked in a low voice.

Xiao Lie took out a small purse from his bosom, "Let's agree, I will share my birthday with you, and today is your birthday too. I made preparations in a hurry last year, and I only gave you a thin gold bracelet. Inside is my A pair of mandarin ducks and concentric jade pendants picked out a few days ago. Do you have a look?"

Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat.
