Chapter 32

After eating snacks and fruit, and drinking the cold tea, Xu Xiaofu put on the red hijab and sat upright on the bed covered with the big red quilt.

I don't know how long he sat there, Xu Xiaofu only knew that the sky outside had darkened, and there was only candlelight left in the room.

Xu Xiaofu felt that he was about to fall asleep in a daze, only then did he hear the sound of steady footsteps, the footsteps paused at the door of the room, and finally pushed the door open and entered.Xu Xiaofu lowered his eyes, staring at his crossed hands on his lap.The room was very quiet, only the breathing of the two could be heard slightly.

Xu Xiaofu was a little nervous. Although he had met Xie Duanyu, he saw it from the perspective of a passer-by. Now that he was going to meet him as his wife, how would the general react.Thinking about how a mighty general like him wants to marry an abandoned woman like her, I'm afraid he feels very uncomfortable.Thinking of this, Xu Xiaofu showed a self-deprecating smile, but she didn't expect that the red hijab on her head was lifted at this moment, and she saw the tall Xie Duanyu in a red dress at a glance.

Xu Xiaofu hastily put on an upright and virtuous smile.

Xie Duanyu's tall figure covered the petite Xu Xiaofu, covering Xu Xiaofu with thick shadows, Xie Duanyu stared at Xu Xiaofu without blinking.Being so close, Xu Xiaofu clearly saw Xie Duanyu's long and narrow eyes, straight nose bridge, tightly pursed lips, and the lines of his face were hesitant and as cold as a knife.

Xu Xiaofu was smiling, Xie Duanyu just looked at her quietly, Xu Xiaofu felt that the smile on his face was about to stiffen, and then he heard the voice of the man in front of him, "Come on." It was a little hoarse, which unexpectedly made Xu Xiaofu think it sounded good.

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "I want to wash up." There was a thick layer of makeup on his face, which made him very uncomfortable.

Xie Duanyu sat down beside the bed, and shouted out of the room: "Xue Cong, Xue Hui, come in with water and serve Madam to wash up."

Soon two maids came in with copper basins to help Xu Xiaofu wash and wash. The two maids were white and tender, wearing pink dresses, saluted Xu Xiaofu and called Ma'am.Xu Xiaofu responded, and went to the basin stand to ask two maids to wash her up. After washing, Xu Xiaofu waved his hand and said to the two maids: "Okay, you all go back."

"Yes, ma'am." The two maids withdrew the copper basins.

Xu Xiaofu just sat back on the bed, ignored Xie Duanyu's gaze, took off his coat, lay down with only his white undershirt on, turned over again, and fell asleep face-in.She didn't think Xie Duanyu would touch her, so she might as well have a good sleep.Tired and tense all day today, Xu Xiaofu fell asleep not long after he lay down on the bed, breathing steadily.

Xie Duanyu looked at Xu Xiaofu whose back was turned to him, he was thinking something in his heart, and after a while he undressed and went to sleep.

The next day, Xu Xiaofu woke up at the beginning of Mao, and when he turned around, he felt empty around him.Did that person dislike her last night and didn't sleep in the same bed with her?It doesn't seem to be the case. After sleeping until the middle of the night, I feel that there is someone beside me.Xu Xiaofu got up and dressed, came to the door and stood still.

Xie Duanyu lived alone in a courtyard, and Xu Xiaofu saw a tall figure in the courtyard doing a set of boxing techniques.Even Xu Xiaofu, who didn't know how to fight, felt that if such a fist hit him, one punch would definitely kill her.

Xu Xiaofu didn't bother, he just opened the door and let the two maids standing outside come in to wash and dress her up.

After washing and dressing up, Xu Xiaofu sat in the room and waited for Xie Duanyu, and the two of them went to offer tea to Mrs. Xie, Master Xie.

Speaking of the Xie family, we must mention the old general Xie Yinghong. Xie Yinghongjun is the grandfather of Xie Duanyu.Xie Yinghong has only one wife, Mrs. Xie, who has two sons, the eldest son Xie Yizhong, and the second son Xie Huiliu, but neither of these two sons has military merits.

Xie Yizhong is married to Bai Shi, and has a concubine serving Fang Shi.The Bai family has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is Xie Duanyu, the second son is Xie Duanran, and the third daughter is Xie Qingxue.The second son Xie Duanran and Xie Duanyue are ten years apart. He married his wife Meng Shi and has a son Xie Rui, who is only one year old now.The third girl, Xie Qingxue, is only 13 years old.As for the concubine Fang, although she was pregnant several times, she had a miscarriage each time, so Mr. Xie only had three direct children.

As for Master Xie Er marrying his wife Zhang Shi, Zhang Shi has a hot temper, Master Xie Er Master has no concubines, Zhang Shi has a pair of twins, Xie Jing and Xie Xiang, both are 17 years old now and have not married yet.

Because he wanted to serve tea to his father-in-law and mother-in-law early in the morning, Xu Xiaofu hesitated and came to the courtyard, and said to the figure, "General Xie, it's time for us to serve tea to the elders."

Xie Duanyu withdrew his arms, stood up straight and walked into the room, and asked the girl to bring hot water into the room to take a shower and change clothes.

Xu Xiaofu waited for a while, then saw Xie Duanyue walking in in a black robe, looking at this masculine man, Xu Xiaofu secretly sighed that the black clothes really belonged to him.

Xie Duanyu came to the door, turned his head to look at Xu Xiaofu who was wearing a light green dress, and said, "Let's go." After saying that, he strode out, Xu Xiaofu followed behind.

The two walked around several moon gates before arriving at a courtyard. Xu Xiaofu followed Xie Duanyu and walked in to the hall.Father-in-law Xie Yizhong and mother-in-law Bai Shi were already seated in the upper seat of the living room, and a circle of relatives were sitting around them. Inside, there was a pretty girl staring at her.Xu Xiaofu guessed that she should be Xie Qingxue, Xie Duanyu's third sister, who is also his sister-in-law. It seems that this sister-in-law is very hostile to her.

Xu Xiaofu followed Xie Duanyu and knelt down to the two people seated above, a maid handed over tea, Xu Xiaofu took the tea, held it over his head, and said respectfully: "Father, please drink tea."

Although Xie Yizhong's face was a little ugly, he didn't say anything, and took a sip of the tea that Xu Xiaofu handed over.

Xu Xiaofu also took a cup of tea and brought it to her mother-in-law Bai, "Mother, please drink tea."

Sitting in the upper seat, Mrs. Bai stared at the top of Xu Xiaofu's head for a while, her face was expressionless, and no one could guess what this Mrs. Xie was thinking.Xu Xiaofu was crying inwardly, his arm was so sore that he could hardly lift it up, and the cup of tea was a bit wobbly.Xie Duanyu next to him suddenly said, "Mother, please drink tea."

Bai Shi looked at Xie Duanyu, Xie Duanyu's face was calm, Bai Shi hummed, took a sip of the tea in Xu Xiaofu's hand, "Get up."

"Thank you, mother." Xu Xiaofu stood up together with Xie Duanyu.

Mrs. Bai hummed, took out a jade bracelet and handed it to Xu Xiaofu, Xu Xiaofu took it and thanked her.

Bai asked Xie Duanyu to introduce all the people next to him to Xu Xiaofu. Xu Xiaofu knew that Xie's family was all here. Xie Jing, Xie Xiang, his cousin, and Xie Duanyu's cousin, Shen Jiaomei, are looking at Xie Duanyu charmingly now, their eyes, tsk tsk, can rippling water.

The Xie family members were very cold towards her, and Xie Qingxue even made no secret of their hostility towards her.

Afterwards, Xu Xiaofu followed Xie Duanyue back to the residence. Neither of them had breakfast yet, so they asked the servant girl to bring the breakfast over. Looking at the exquisite breakfast, Xu Xiaofu sighed again.After breakfast, Xie Duanyu went to the barracks.Although he has guarded the border for a long time, but now the border is still safe, so he was recruited back by the emperor and stayed in the barracks to lead the troops.

After Xie Duanyu left, Xu Xiaofu asked Xue Cong to call Nanny He over.Nanny He came over soon, Xu Xiaofu said: "Mommy, lotus?"

Madam He said: "Ma'am, Miss is having breakfast, I will bring her over after breakfast, Madam, from now on, Miss will be taken care of by a special nanny for her daily life and food, so you don't have to work so hard."

Xu Xiaofu said: "No need, I will take care of the lotus myself, you can let the lotus come here, there are many rooms here, just let the lotus live in this courtyard."

Nanny He didn't say much, she nodded, and not long after, Xu Xiaofu saw the lotus being led by a woman.The woman saluted Xu Xiaofu, "Ma'am, the old slave's surname is Chen, and she is Nanny Chen who takes care of the young lady. From now on, the old slave will take care of the young lady's daily life and food."

"Thank you so much, Nanny Chen. I have something to say to Lotus now, so please ask Nanny Chen to back down."

Nanny Chen responded and stepped back.

It wasn't until Xu Xiaofu drove away the servants around him that He Hua threw himself into Xu Xiaofu's arms, and called out sweetly, "Mother, where were you last night? He Hua misses you so much, and Mother, what is here?" The place? It's so beautiful, and there are so many delicious things, mother, can you take it back for Xiaoya and the others to eat." Xiaoya is a good friend of Hehua in Xu's family.

Xu Xiaofu led He Hua to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, hugged He Hua and sat on her lap, said with a smile: "He Hua, this will be our home from now on, do you think it's okay?"

He Hua tilted her head, apparently not understanding what was going on.Xu Xiaofu didn't say much, he just said: "Hehua has grown up, she can't sleep with mother anymore, can Hehua sleep alone? But there is a mother in the room to protect Hehua, so Hehua is not afraid."

The little girl He Hua hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, I will listen to Mother, from now on, He Hua will sleep alone."

Xu Xiaofu lowered his head and kissed the lotus on the forehead.

After Xu Xiaofu asked the maid to clean up a room next door, He Hua lived next door, but Xu Xiaofu couldn't let He Hua accompany her to eat with Xie Duanyu. He Hua's food was delivered, first went to He Hua's room to eat with He Hua, and then had dinner with Xie Duanyu.
