Chapter 92

Xie Qi's wish is a dagger, but Xie Lin's is much simpler. Seeing the candied haws outside pulling Xu Xiaofu's sleeve, he said, "Mother, mother, yes." Seeing the clay figurine outside also pulling Xu Xiaofu's sleeve tenderly Shouted, "Mother, mother, I want this too."

In the end, the little guy went back contentedly with a bunch of gadgets in his hands.

Just after returning to the mansion, Du Juan came over from the old lady, and said with a smile: "Madam, the old general and the old lady asked you to go there, it seems that a letter from the general has arrived."

Xu Xiaofu showed joy, "Really? The general has a letter?"

Du Juan nodded with a smile, "Yes, ma'am, it should be good news."

Xu Xiaofu was overjoyed, and took the three children directly to the residence of the old lady and the old general. The eldest master Bai and the second master Zhang were there. Xu Xiaofu asked the eldest master Bai and the second master Zhang. it is good.

The old lady said with a smile: "Xiaofu is here. I have a letter from Duanyu today. Come here quickly and take a look."

Xu Xiaofu was overjoyed in his heart, stepped forward with a smile and took the letter from the old lady's hand, opened it and read it, there were only a few short words, "The matter has been resolved, the crown prince has successfully ascended the throne, everything is fine, don't read it, I will send someone to Go pick you up."

It's just these few short sentences, Xu Xiaofu has read them several times, the smile on his face is getting bigger and bigger, and his heart is even more joyful.The old lady smiled and said: "Okay, everything is fine, the people from the Duanyu faction have arrived, you all go back and pack your things, we will leave for the capital after the New Year is over." Now the New Year is only three days away up.

Xu Xiaofu then returned to the room with the three children, Xie Qi happily asked, "Mother, did dad win the second prince, so we can go home."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Yes, in a few days we will be able to set off and go back, and then Qi'er will be able to see Daddy."

"Daddy, see Daddy." Xie Lin next to him babbled while eating candied haws.

There were not many things to pack, and with the help of Shan Cha, everything was packed very quickly, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, I wonder if it was because of Xie Duanyu's letter from home, the whole Xie family was full of concealment. Unceasing joy.After a prosperous year, everyone is ready to set off.Everyone didn't bring many things, just some change of clothes and some gold and silver jewelry, four people and one carriage, except for seven carriages, the rest were all guards on horseback with swords, the Xie family was mighty 's on the road.

Xu Xiaofu and the three children rode in a carriage. Xie Lin had never seen his father since he could remember, and kept asking Xu Xiaofu along the way. Xie Lin listened, "Don't worry, brother, Daddy is a very powerful person. When you go back and see Daddy, you will definitely admire and like Daddy."

Little friend Xie Lin held up the little clay figurine and thought for a while, then climbed onto Xu Xiaofu's body with his short legs, and asked Xie Qi, "Is father and mother good? Mother bought this for her, and she still hugs Lin'er to sleep every day." In Xie Lin's eyes, it must be unclear. After all, it is his mother who lives with him every day. He really has no impression of his father. He always thinks that his mother is the most powerful person, and there will be someone more powerful than his mother in the world. people?
Xie Qi was stunned for a while, apparently not knowing how to answer his younger brother's words, he couldn't help rubbing his nose, and said in a muffled voice, "It's different."

He Hua hugged Xie Lin from Xu Xiaofu's arms, and said with a smile, "Lin'er, what brother means is that daddy can take you to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and mother can make delicious cakes for you and buy things you like. It's different. .”

The little guy Xie Lin nodded his head half-understood, but he started to be curious about his father.

This time is different from the time when I came here. I took the official road, rested in the inn every night, and continued to leave the next day. After walking like this for a month, I almost arrived at the outskirts of the capital. Through the gap, I can see the place covered with heavy snow in the distance.There is Xu Xiaofu's villa, and it is not known if it is still there.

The carriage quickly entered the city and drove all the way towards Xie's mansion. The gate of the mansion was already full of Xie Fu's servants. When Xie's family got off the carriage one by one, a housekeeper immediately stepped forward to salute, and said: "The old slave welcomes the old general and old lady, master, lady, madam, young masters and ladies to return home. The mansion has prepared food and wine, and invites the masters to eat. The general is still in the palace, and he does not know when he will return."

Everyone entered the mansion one by one, and the old lady said: "Everyone is exhausted from running around for a month, let's go eat something, then go back to your room and have a good rest."

The mansion had already prepared the food and wine, and everyone entered the room to eat something casually and then went back to their respective rooms. In Xu Xiaofu's yard, besides the two big maids of Camellia and Dujuan, there were four second-class maids and eight third-class maids. There are two cooks and two nannies, which can be said to be twice as many people as before.Two nannies bathed the two young masters and put them to sleep, the camellia and cuckoo brought water into the room, Xu Xiaofu let them out.

Xu Xiaofu was really tired from traveling all the way. After undressing and taking a bath, he went to bed to rest. When he slept in a daze until midnight, he felt as if a pair of rough hands were walking on her body, and Xu Xiaofu woke up suddenly. Come here, after smelling the familiar smell, she relaxed, turned around in the darkness, and said with a smile: "Are you back?"

Xie Duanyu said kindly, took off his boots, went to bed, got into the bed, and hugged Xu Xiaofu tightly in his arms, "I'm back." His voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Xiaofu couldn't help but reached out and touched his face, he seemed to have lost some weight, with some green stubble on his chin, "You've lost weight, I miss you so much." I haven't seen him for more than two years, God knows she has Miss him so much.

Xie Duanyu took a breath, and hugged her in his arms, "I miss you too." The war of more than two years has finally calmed down now.

He lowered his head and grabbed her mouth, "Xiaofu, I miss you so much."

Xu Xiaofu wrapped his arms around his neck, and responded eagerly, "I miss you too, so much..." His palm gradually penetrated into his shirt, started to walk on his back, and suddenly touched When she reached a long and uneven place, she was startled, "You... what happened to your back? Are you injured?" The touch was clearly a long scar.It's not that Xie Duanyu has no scars on his body, but the scars are not so deep or long. It can be seen how badly he was injured at that time.

Xie Duanyu covered her bulging chest behind him, bit on it, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, it's all right."

Xie Duanyu was full of energy, and this love affair was so bright that the sky was faintly shining. Then he fell asleep with his arms around her, and Xu Xiaofu woke up when it was three o'clock in the sun. He reached out and touched the warm chest next to him. She was startled and turned She saw Xie Duanyu's sleeping face at the top of her head. She wanted to wake him up and ask him if he would not go to court today, but she thought that he is not a person who cares about things for the sake of sleepiness. I am afraid that I don't have to get up early today, and I saw the blue eyes under his eyes. Shadow, knowing that he must have never had a good rest during this time, he will not bother him anymore and let him have a good rest.

Just as she was about to get out of bed quietly, a pair of hands behind her suddenly reached out to touch her waist, and she fell on a warm chest at the back. Xu Xiaofu smiled and said, "Are you awake?"

Xie Duanyu said kindly, then turned his head and kissed her on the cheek.

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to go to court today?"

Xie Duanyu said: "Not today."

Xu Xiaofu thought of the scar behind him again, and asked him to turn over to show her, Xie Duanyu couldn't resist her, and turned over to reveal his strong back, besides five or six old scars, there was another The scar extending from the shoulder to the waist was uneven to the touch, and looked hideous and terrifying. Xu Xiaofu felt a little distressed, and gently stroked the scar, "Does it still hurt?"

Xie Duanyu turned over, pressed Xu Xiaofu under him, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time ago. Well, get up quickly, I will accompany you back later, my parents will be very happy to know that you are back. "

Xu Xiaofu was taken aback for a moment, knowing that the parents he was talking about should be Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang. Thinking of the two elders, Xu Xiaofu also missed them very much, so he quickly got up, the three children had already woken up, and Xie Lin was yelling outside Just as he was yelling to see his father, Xie Duanyu came out, and Xie Lin froze when he saw Xie Duanyu.Now that Xie Duanyu was a little excited, he couldn't help squatting down and hugging Xie Lin, "Lin'er, I'm Daddy."

The little guy Xie Lin was a little stunned. He stared at Xie Duanyu for a long time before he burst into tears. Then he suddenly hugged Xie Duanyu's neck and called his father. Xie Duanyu coaxed him for a long time. coaxed.In contrast, Xie Qi was much quieter, standing aside obediently, Xie Duanyu coaxed Xie Lin, then squatted down and hugged Xie Qi, hugging the two children, Xie Qihong was offended She frowned, "Daddy put me down quickly, I'm grown up, so I don't need Daddy to hug me anymore."

Seeing the appearance of Master Xie Qi, Xie Duanyu laughed out loud.

Xie Lin hugged Xie Duanyu so much that he had to hug him during meals. After breakfast, Xu Xiaofu took his three children and followed Xie Duanyu back to Xu's house. Needless to say, Xie Duanyu hugged Xie Lin along the way.

Wang's eyes turned red when she saw Xu Xiaofu, and then she looked at the lotus, Xie Qi, Xie Lin are so grown up, and she was filled with emotion.Zhao Xiaolan said: "Mother, it's really cold today, let my sister and the general go in and do it."

Wang hurriedly wiped away her tears and invited Xu Xiaofu and Xie Duanyu inside.

The Xu family was very excited when they saw Xu Xiaofu come back, so Zhao Xiaolan went to pour some tea, and then asked the little girl in the family to call the elder sister Xu Wanniang, Xu Wanniang soon came with her two children, and Wang was chattering with Xu Xiaofu They said that they were very worried after Xu Xiaofu left, but fortunately they are back now, so it's good to be back.

Xu Xiaofu said: "Mother, when I'm not around, no one will make things difficult for you."

Xu Wanniang smiled and said, "Don't worry, third sister. After you leave, Prince Cao will protect us, and the second prince will not dare to touch us. Third sister, your restaurant and Zhuangzi are well taken care of by us."

Xu Xiaofu finally felt at ease, the thing she was most afraid of at the beginning was that the second prince would hurt her family after she left.

Mrs. Xiang had a lot to say to Xu Xiaofu, a few women were talking in the room, Xie Duanyu was talking to Mrs. Xu, Xu Qingshan and Xu Qingfei in the next room, and the children were playing outside accompanied by the maid.

Mrs. Wang pulled her daughter and talked for a while, tears streaming down her face as she spoke, "Xiaofu, my mother is relieved when she sees that you are doing well. The general is a good man, and my mother admires him. You must be good in the future." You live with the general, do you know?"

Xu Xiaofu chuckled, "Mom, I know."

Mrs. Wang pulled Xu Xiaofu and chattered, Xu Xiaofu listened quietly, feeling warm in his heart.

In the end, Mrs. Wang kept Xu Xiaofu and they had lunch here, and then she wanted to give her the income from the restaurant and Zhuangzi in the past few years. Xu Xiaofu went out and said, "Since they are all back, you will take care of the restaurant and Zhuangzi from now on. Your father and I are getting old, and we plan to enjoy life in peace. I don't worry if your sister-in-law and elder sister took care of the restaurant before." .Okay, just go back and do well, listen to your mother-in-law, and come to see us when you are free."

Xu Xiaofu nodded with red eyes, and finally followed Xie Duanyu into the carriage, and then went to the Zhuangzi to have a look. The Zhuangzi was also taken care of very well by Ding Xiaochen, and stayed in the Zhuangzi for a while before Xu Xiaofu followed Xie Duanyu back. Xie Fu.

The next day, Xie Duanyu was going to the morning court, and then went to work in the military camp. Xu Xiaofu went to Prince Cao's mansion to pay his respects. Xie Qingxue was very happy to see her sister-in-law, and said with a smile: "I knew you were back yesterday, but I have a big belly , it’s not good to go out again, mother has already visited me yesterday.”

Xie Qingxue was pregnant again, Xu Xiaofu saw her big belly and said a few words with her to let her have a good rest, then went to thank Prince Cao and returned to Xie's house.

In the next few days, Xu Xiaofu was checking the accounts of the mansion. The Bai family had already entrusted her to take care of the mansion. Xu Xiaofu was very busy every day. After working like this for half a month, he got used to it. When the noble ladies invited her to enjoy flowers and tea, Xu Xiaofu would always go out with lotus flowers.

There is no Madam Liu in this capital who can't stand on the stage, and she dare not design a lotus. After all, this is the capital, at the foot of the imperial city, and Xie Duanyu is now a general protecting the country. No one dares to do such a stupid thing.

There were also people who came to propose marriage to Hehua, but Xu Xiaofu didn't like it. In the end, Xie Duanyu knew what she was thinking and introduced someone to her.That man was an official in Xie Duanyu's barracks, a lieutenant of Xuanjie, an official of the eighth rank.It’s just that he’s a bit older, now, this young man’s family background is not very good, he became a captain of Xuanjie in the military camp by his own ability, and has made several military exploits. Xie Duanyu also thinks this young man is good, he is very upright, and his family There is no such thing as a housekeeper, and my mother has a good temper and is a very compassionate person.As for why no one came to propose marriage at such an old age, it was because the father in the family had to observe mourning for three years after his death, and now it happened to be the third year.

After Xu Xiaofu asked people to investigate this young man, he was also a little moved. This young man is indeed good. As Xie Duanyu said, he has an upright character and a tenacious temperament. Although he is five years older than He Hua, Xu Xiaofu feels that this age is just right. I know it hurts people, even though He Hua is only 13 years old this year, and she will not get married until at least 15 years old. At that time, the boy will be [-] years old, and I don't know if his family is willing to have this marriage.

Afterwards Xu Xiaofu went to ask He Hua, He Hua looked at the portrait of the young man, and heard Xu Xiaofu talk about the young man's character, blushing and said: "Everything is according to mother's arrangement."

Xu Xiaofu chuckled, knowing that the girl had taken a fancy to this young man, after that Xu Xiaofu asked people to come to her house to say goodbye, and also made it clear to the man that he would have to wait two or three years before getting married, and if the man didn't agree immediately, it was also checked by people After checking Hehua's character, she finally agreed to this marriage.

Naturally, the next step is to get engaged first, and I plan to let the lotus marry after two years.

After the matter of the lotus was settled, Xu Xiaofu felt completely at ease, and the affairs of the mansion were almost taken care of, as long as the accounts were checked every month, and the restaurant and the villa were also taken care of, and the accounts were checked every once in a while. That's enough, Xu Xiaofu spends most of his time in the mansion thinking about delicious food, and occasionally goes out to enjoy flowers and tea with those noble ladies, and his life is leisurely.

After Xie Duanyu came back that day, his face was full of smiles. After grooming at night, he took Xu Xiaofu to have a good time and then whispered in her ear, "The Holy Majesty gave me half a year to rest for half a year. I want to take you out for a walk, where do you want to go?"

Xu Xiaofu was taken aback for a moment, looked at Xie Duanyu in surprise, and stammered: "How...how could it be? Your Majesty will let you rest for half a year?"

Xie Duanyu smiled and said: "I have been on the battlefield for the past few years, the second prince's matter has been resolved, the second prince's party members have almost been wiped out, and the court has been stabilized, so there is not much to do. I was injured before. The Holy Majesty also knew about the matter, and now that the matter is settled, the Holy Majesty let me rest for half a year. Think about it, is there any place you want to go?"

Xu Xiaofu was very excited, "Really? Can we really go out and play?" Ever since she came to this world, she only went to the frontiers except for the capital, and she went there for her life. When Xie Duanyu said this, he actually looked forward to it, looking forward to the two of them going out for a while, thinking about it, and said with a smile: "How about going to the south of the Yangtze River? I heard people say that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and I want to go and see it."

Xie Duanyu smiled and said, "Okay, it's all up to you."

Xu Xiaofu was joyful in his heart, he put his arms around Xie Duanyu's waist and chattered, talking about the introduction of some customs and customs in the south of the Yangtze River and some snacks from the books.

Xie Duanyu just hugged her with a smile, listened to what she said, and kissed her on the forehead or cheek from time to time, the expression on his face was peaceful and comfortable, without that kind of fierceness and hostility, and only Filled with tenderness, he looked at Xu Xiaofu who was moving his small mouth and talking non-stop under the candlelight, his heart was beating wildly.

He thought it would be nice to have her by his side.
