Chapter 54

Early the next morning, Xu Xiaofu went to Bai's residence with baby Xie Qi in his arms after washing up.There's no way, no one told Bai Shi to be her mother-in-law. In this era of crushing people, it is inevitable to pay her respects to her mother-in-law every morning.

Holding Xie Qi in her arms, she came to Bai's courtyard. Bai just got up and was letting Xi Qiu to wash up.Hearing that Xu Xiaofu came over with Xie Qi in his arms, he beckoned them in.

Xu Xiaofu greeted Bai Shi, and sat beside Xie Qi with his arms in his arms.

After cleaning her hands, Bai turned around and came to Xu Xiaofu's side. Looking at Xie Qi who was sleeping in her arms, the smile on her face was a little bit kind, and it was quite true. She reached out and took Xie Qi, "I'll come hug."

Xu Xiaofu handed the child to her, and stood aside silently.

The little milk boy sleeps very shamelessly, and Bai Shi wants to tease him, but he completely ignores it.

Bai Shi hugged for a long time, Xi Qiu came back from the kitchen with breakfast, Bai Shi returned the child to Xu Xiaofu.After breakfast, he teased Xie Qi for a while, knowing that Xie Qi howled and wanted to nurse, so he reluctantly let Xu Xiaofu go back with the baby.

As the days passed, Xu Xiaofu still greeted Mrs. Bai every day.The business of the restaurant has also become regular, and the monthly income is very stable. Xu Xiaofu is thinking about other business ideas.Xie Qingxue has been busy avoiding Cao Zhan for the past six months. Every time she came to Xu Xiaofu's place, she had to scold Cao Zhan. She said that she would never marry such a man.Xu Xiaofu mourned in silence, Prince Cao's way of chasing his wife was really hard.

The Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, Xie Qi's little milk baby is half a year old, and there are lights and festoons everywhere in Xie's house.

When winter comes, Xie Duanyu gets a little busy, and often stays in the barracks for a few days without coming back.Xu Qingshan went to the frontier again, and the barbarians would raid in winter to rob the land and food.Xie Duanyu's management of the frontier over the past few years is not bad, and it can withstand the attacks of those barbarians. As long as the barbarians don't have new weapons, there will be basically no major problems.

Old General Xie was traveling abroad and knew that he had a new great-grandson and would be back in a few days.The old lady Xie still eats fast and recites Buddha in the Buddhist hall every day, and occasionally misses Xie Qi and asks Xu Xiaofu to take the little milk baby to her to have a look.

This day when he came back from Bai's residence, Xu Xiaofu carried Xie Qi into the room, there were several pots of charcoal fire in the room, it was very warm.Xu Xiaofu took off the white fox waistcoat he was wearing, handed it to Shancha to hang it up, and then revealed the tightly wrapped baby Xie Qi.

As soon as Xie Qi saw Xu Xiaofu gave him a big smile, a thin tooth was exposed.Xu Xiaofu kissed him on the forehead, and he laughed even more heartily, and screamed "Yi Yi" in his mouth.

He Hua was sitting on a small table beside her practicing calligraphy, and saw Xie Qi walking over with a smile, "Mother, sit down and show me my brother." The little girl is now 6 years old, and she speaks very clearly.

Xu Xiaofu sat down, and the lotus kissed the little baby twice on the face, attracting all Xie Qi's attention, and smiled at his sister.

Shan Cha glanced at the strong wind and snow blowing outside, and sighed, "Old Madam, it's true that it's such a big snowstorm, and you still ask Madam to take the young master to pay her respects every day, don't be afraid." The young master is freezing."

Xu Xiaofu said: "Shen Yan, well, ask the small kitchen to make a bowl of pork liver porridge for Qi Er, chop the pork liver into pieces, and when it is almost cooked, put the minced vegetables into it, don't put salt... ..."

Shan Cha smiled, "Madam, I'll go right away."

Du Juan said from the side, "Madam, we can still see fresh vegetables in our house in this cold weather, thanks to you..."

Xu Xiaofu had nothing to do in his spare time, he tinkered with a warm shed a few months ago, and planted some vegetables in it, and he could still eat fresh vegetables in this cold weather.However, this is really a waste of manpower and financial resources. If you want to plant a large number of plants, you need to plan carefully, and you will only earn money in the past few months. In addition, if you can successfully plant a large area, you can only supply the nobles in the capital.

If this is done well, even if it is only a few months, the money earned will not be less than the restaurant's annual income.Xu Xiaofu plans to make a fuss next year, and this year is almost over, so it's obviously not going to work.

Pork liver and vegetable porridge was quickly brought, Xu Xiaofu tasted it, and then slowly fed it to Xie Qi.

Xie Qi is half a year old, he can eat a lot of complementary food, Xu Xiaofu pays attention to this aspect, and the little guy also loves to eat, every time he can eat a small bowl clean.

Looking at the chubby little milk baby, Du Juan sighed, "Madam, you really know how to raise children."

Xie Qi's little milk baby quickly finished a small bowl of pork liver and green vegetable porridge, hiccupped, and babbled at the lotus flower, obviously asking her sister to play with her.

Xie Duanyu didn't come back that night, but there was news about Old General Xie, saying that the old general would return home in three days.

Three days passed quickly, and all the people including the slaves in Xie's mansion went to the main gate of Xie's mansion to wait for Old General Xie to return to the mansion.

Naturally Xu Xiaofu also wanted to go. Hearing that General Xie returned home around noon, Xu Xiaofu ate breakfast, freshened up, and told Nanny Wei to take good care of Xie Qi. The main entrance of the mansion.

The wind was blowing outside, and the snow was blowing heavily. As soon as Xu Xiaofu stepped out of the room, he felt the cold air penetrate into his body instantly through layers of clothes, making her shiver uncontrollably.Shan Cha hastily put on a lavender brocade-studded fur cloak for her, "Madam, it's really cold today, the general hasn't been home for a few days, I don't know what happened..."

Xu Xiaofu tidied up the cloak himself, and walked forward, "You don't know that the barbarians are ready to move around this time of year. The general is busy with duties, so it's normal not to come for a few days. I just hope that the situation in the frontier will improve. He is really a barbarian, if he doesn't work hard to improve his living environment, what's the point of relying on robbery all day..." Xu Xiaofu said, remembering that Xie Duanyu might have stayed up for a few more nights at this moment, he couldn't help sighing Take a breath.

She quickly came to the gate of Xie Mansion, found a place to stand still, and Camellia Dujuan stood behind her.At this time, Xie's family had just arrived, Xie Qingxue saw Xu Xiaofu and walked over from Bai's side, "Sister-in-law, is Xiao Qi?"

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile, "Xiao Qi will fall asleep now, and the nanny is watching over him, I don't know if he will cry when he wakes up and doesn't see me."

Xie Qingxue stomped her feet coldly, "I haven't seen the little guy for a few days, but I miss him a little bit, hey, why hasn't my grandfather come back yet, it's really cold today."

Looking at Xie Qingxue's blue eye circles, Xu Xiaofu said: "Rest well at night, don't think too much, go to the kitchen and get two cucumbers, cut them into slices and put them on the eyes to relieve the eyes, then go ask the kitchen if you can get them Some milk, drink some every day, it can help you sleep."

Cao Zhan is arrogant and domineering, and he is sure to win the people and things he likes.Although the Xie family rejected this marriage, he still pursued Xie Qingxue in a high-profile manner, and almost everyone in the capital knew that he had a crush on the girl from the Xie family.In the past few days, all kinds of fox skins, tiger skins, precious furs and other precious things in Cao's residence were sent towards Xie's residence like water, and Xie Qingxue returned them all at the exact number.

Xie Qingxue's expression was a little sleepy, she nodded lightly, "Thank you sister-in-law, I know."

Soon, all the people in the Xie Mansion came to the gate of the Xie Mansion.

The heavy snow was still falling, and it seemed that it was getting bigger and bigger. Another layer of snow fell on the cleaned ground outside the gate.

It was noon, and everyone was looking forward to it. There seemed to be the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a servant ran in from the door, "Old lady, old lady, the old general is back."

The old lady Xie looked calm, and led a large family out to greet her. Just outside the door, a black horse in the distance had already run to the door, and a man in a black cloak and hat Riding on a black horse.

The black horse came to a stop in front of the gate of Xie Mansion, and the person on the horse jumped off, took off the bamboo hat on his head, and an old man with gray hair and beard appeared in front of everyone.

The old man was very energetic, and his figure was quite tall. Looking at the group of people at the gate of Xie Mansion, he frowned and shouted loudly, "What are you doing running out in this cold day, go in quickly!"

This old man is none other than General Xie Yinghong, who has made great military exploits.

The old lady stepped forward to Xie Yinghong's side, took the bamboo hat in his hand, and said: "Okay, don't get angry at everyone as soon as you come back, everyone has been standing for more than an hour in this cold day, let's go into the room and talk." .”

A group of people entered Xie's mansion in a mighty manner.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Xiaofu felt that General Xie looked at her a few times.

Everyone quickly returned to the main hall of Xie Mansion.The old lady waved her hand to let people start to serve food, taking advantage of this gap, she brought a cup of tea to Xu Xiaofu, and said: "The old man was not there when you got married, so I will make up for the tea now. The old man drank this cup Let's have tea and eat."

Xu Xiaofu took the tea obediently, walked up to Xie Yinghong who was sitting upright, knelt down, held the teacup over his head with both hands, and said, "My grandson-in-law has seen my grandfather."

Xie Yinghong looked at Xu Xiaofu's head twice, hummed, took the tea and drank it in one gulp, "Okay, get up."

Xu Xiaofu got up, stepped aside and stood beside Bai Shi.

Xie Yinghong asked everyone to sit down, and then all the members of the Xie family sat down one by one.The old man looked around and asked, "That kid Duanyu is still in the barracks?"

The old lady smiled and said, "You also know that he is a bit busy at this time. Naturally, he is staying in the military camp. He should know that you will come back in a few days. I reckon he should come back tonight."

Xie Yinghong snorted, and said again: "That kid Xie Qi?"

The old lady replied, "Of course I'm in the room. If you want to see your newborn great-grandson, how about I let someone carry her?"

The old man stared and said angrily: "I didn't see it was snowing outside, you want to freeze him? That's all, I'll go and see by myself after dinner."

The servants still brought up the dishes, and the old man waved his hand, "Okay, hurry up and eat, go and do whatever you want after eating, every time you come back, you have to gather a bunch of people at the gate, you don't mind Disgraceful..."

Everyone ate in silence without speaking, the old lady said: "Everyone hasn't seen you for a long time and miss you, that's why I waited for you at the gate. You, don't be too frightened."

The old man's eyes widened again, "You old woman, who's freaking out!"

The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, you are fine, hurry up and eat."
