Xia Chunyu smiled bitterly and hugged her. This person who made him think about her day and night was now in his arms. He could smell the faint fragrance of her hair and feel her soft body. He really wanted to My heart aches.
"Chunyu, why don't you write to me anymore? I'm worried to death." Ye Jiayao said with a sore nose and a thick nasal sound in her voice.
Chunyu tightened his arms, rested his chin on the crook of her neck, and said in a low voice, "I can't write, I'm always in the mountains."
"Then you are coming back, so you should send a message first. No one I asked said they didn't know. This feeling is really bad." Ye Jiayao muttered, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Chunyu said: "I'm afraid the letter won't come back before I do."
Ye Jiayao let go of him, gave him a beating, and said coquettishly: "I hate him so much, go take a shower!"
Chunyu smiled and spread his hands: "Help me take off my armor."
Ye Jiayao gouged him out, but happily helped him take off his armor. Well, this thing is made of pure iron and is really heavy.
Ye Jiayao wanted to follow him and wash him, but Xia Chunyu refused. He didn't want her to see his dirty body.
"Chunyu, do you really don't need help?"
"No, just rest!"
"But I want to!"
"Think about it tonight."
The two talked through the door.
Well, there seems to be a bit of ambiguity in this statement. She meant that she wanted to help him take a bath, but what did she mean by thinking about it at night? Ye Jiayao couldn't help but feel a fever on her face, and was embarrassed to speak again, otherwise Chunyu would think what she wanted to do! Treat her as a pervert.
This bath took a full stick of incense, and Chunyu came out feeling refreshed.
Wearing a dark blue satin robe with a belt, she looked tall and handsome. Chunyu was the type who wore clothes to look thin but stripped off to show muscles. It seems that Ye Jiayao is ready to make a move, because they have been separated for too long.
But she didn't dare to pounce on her again. Even if she thought about dying in her heart, she couldn't admit it with her mouth!
Xia Chunyu looked at her with a smile and opened his hands: "Now you can hug her, you can hug her as much as you want."
"Go, who wants to hug you? Your hair is still wet." Ye Jiayao pulled a dry cotton handkerchief to help him wipe his hair.
Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you admit that you miss me. We are an old married couple. Do I still laugh at you?"
Ye Jiayao glared: "Are you asking for a beating?"
Xia Chunyu was in a good mood when he saw her embarrassment, but it was a pity that he had to go to the main courtyard for dinner soon, otherwise... he'd better bear with it for now, the evening is long!
Youshi was already anxious to see her son, so she sent someone to urge him.
Ye Jiayao calmly helped Chunyu comb her hair, made a bun on the top of her head, and fixed it with a jade hairpin.
"Okay, is it too tight?" It was Ye Jiayao's first time combing his hair and she had no experience.
Xia Chunyu shook his head: "It's okay, as long as you comb it, it'll be fine."
Before going out, Xia Chunyu thoughtfully tied her hood on.
"It's just a little bit of road, no need."
"Look at you, you don't know how to cherish your body when I'm not around. What do you want me to say about you?" Xia Chunyu frowned deliberately.
"Okay, okay, I'll put it on, but it's inconvenient because it binds the hands and feet." Ye Jiayao was afraid that he would think too much, so she put it on honestly.
Xia Chunyu chuckled and said, "There is a way that is warmer and less troublesome."
Ye Jiayao was curious and blinked at him: "What is it?"
Xia Chunyu put on his cloak, opened it and said, "You hide inside, I will carry you over, it will be so warm."
Ye Jiayao couldn't help but roll her eyes. What a bad idea, the servants in the house saw it, and they couldn't laugh her to death. How could she establish her authority in the future
The two went to the main courtyard hand in hand.
Chunli and Chunfeng were both there, Qiao didn't come until she was in confinement, and You was playing with her grandson in her arms. Seeing Chunyu and Jinxuan coming, he handed the child back to the wet nurse.
"Chunyu, you're finally back." Youshi felt heartbroken when she saw that her son had lost a lot of money: "Isn't this errand a hard one?"
Chunyu said: "Fortunately, it's not very hard, but I feel dizzy walking around in the mountains."
No matter how dangerous it is outside, Chunyu will not tell his family. Every time he comes back, he downplays it, fearing that his family will worry.
"You are just like your father. You say that. I heard that the bandits over there are very fierce. Forget it, just come back safely." Youshi knew her son's temper, and she was used to it.
Chunyu's eyes were attracted by the child in the wet nurse's hand, and he immediately understood that his sister-in-law had given birth. Is it a niece or a nephew? But, isn’t it time yet
"Chun Yu, that's your nephew. Our Xia family finally has a grandson. It can be regarded as three generations living under the same roof." Youshi said with a smile.
Although this grandson is not Chunyu and Chunfeng's, he is still of Xia family's blood, and Youshi is still very happy.
Ye Jiayao said: "Chunyu, do you want a hug?"
Chunyu actually likes children very much, you can tell by looking at how much he loves Baoer.
Xia Chunyu had no objection, so the wet nurse handed the child over to him.
Xia Chunyu held it carefully, looking at the small, tender child, he couldn't help but frown: "Why is he so small? He is much smaller than Bao'er."
Ye Jiayao said: "She was born prematurely. She has gained a lot of weight now. She was so small when she was born that I didn't even know how to hold her."
"Isn't this your eldest brother's fault?" Youshi couldn't help complaining.
Chunli huddled aside and didn't dare to say a word.
Early this morning, he was dragged to the study by his father and kicked twice. His body is still hurting to this day. He was also scolded and his ears are still ringing. Fortunately, he finally passed the test. I hope everyone will forget this matter quickly, otherwise my father will be angry when he hears it.
The Marquis also changed into casual clothes and came over.
"Everyone is here. We haven't been together at home for a long time. Today, the three of us, father and son, are going to have some drinks."
Chunli tried to please him and said with a shy smile: "Father, aren't there four of us, father and son?"
The Marquis glared at him angrily: "I didn't count you, so let's go."
Chunli was disappointed and dodged away dejectedly.
Although Chunyu didn't know about Cuiyan yet, after hearing what his mother said just now and looking at his elder brother's expression, he knew that he had done something wrong. But they are brothers after all. When eating, Chunyu invited him to come over and cook.
But the Marquis refused to let him sit next to him: "Get over to Chunfeng."
Chunli walked dejectedly to Chunfeng and sat down.
"Today is a good day. Jinxuan is back, Chunyu is back, and the family is together again. Well, we also have a grandson. Haha, okay, Chunyu Chunfeng, you should work harder, you big brother, I'm not as good as you in anything else, but I'm better than you at having children, haha..." Mr. Hou said cheerfully.
Chunyu looked at Ye Jiayao sensitively, fearing that she would be unhappy.
Ye Jiayao acted as if nothing had happened. It wasn't like she couldn't give birth. She would have a child sooner or later. Not in a hurry.
Chunyu felt a little relieved and looked at Chunfeng again. Chunfeng looked a little lonely.
Youshi pinched Mr. Hou under the table.
The Marquis was in pain and gasped. Then he remembered that Jinxuan was in poor health and was still recuperating. Chunfeng and Liuli seemed to have made little progress. This topic was really inconsistent with the atmosphere tonight. He couldn't help but smile. He justified himself and said: "However, we are not in a hurry, let's take our time."
It is said to be a reunion dinner, but the elements are lighter than usual. I don't want to eat big fish and meat. During the national mourning period, ordinary people do not dare to do it openly, but they are not so particular about it secretly. However, these princes and ministers are very self-disciplined and would never dare to Violating etiquette.
I didn't dare to drink too much wine. Each of the four men only drank a small glass.
After the meal, the table was cleared and tea was served again. After hesitating for a long time, Youshi finally said what he was thinking: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We have to worship our ancestors and have a reunion dinner tomorrow night. Chunfeng, look... is it called... Liuli is back?"
The Marquis said: "This is what it should be, why do you need to ask? It doesn't matter whether she eats the reunion dinner or not, but after all, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, so she can't be ignored by her ancestors, right?"
Chunfeng said: "My son will bring her back tomorrow morning."
Ye Jiayao said: "Then my daughter-in-law will make arrangements for ancestor worship tonight."
Youshi said: "No need, I have made arrangements for the afternoon. Everyone just needs to get up early tomorrow."
After talking about the business, Youshi thought that Chunyu and Jinxuan had not seen each other for a while, and there must be endless things to say, so she left early without delaying the reunion of the young couple.
Returning to his yard, Chunyucai asked: "Did brother commit something?"
Ye Jiayao told him about Cuiyan.
Chunyu was also angry: "Brother is too shameless."
Then he thought that so many things had happened during his absence, and he didn’t know how Yaoyao survived. Thinking about it made him feel distressed, and he pulled her into his arms: "It’s all my fault. I should have known that so many things would happen. I won’t let my mother go to Hangzhou.”
Ye Jiayao felt warm in her heart, and Chunyu felt distressed. No matter how hard and tired she was, it was worth it.
"Nothing, haven't you come here?"
"Father said, you have been imprisoned by Zuo Qingyun for many days. Tell me the truth, did he treat you harshly or embarrass you? You don't have to worry about what I think. You are my woman, and you will be for the rest of your life. I failed to protect you." You are my responsibility, if he does anything to you, I will definitely kill him to avenge you." Chunyu Zhengse said.
Ye Jiayao shook her head, her nose felt sour again. Youshi had also asked this question. At that time, she felt a little uncomfortable, but now that Chunyu asked it, she was only moved. Sure enough, she was right. Not every man has such a big heart. How could he say such things if it wasn't true love.
"He didn't treat me harshly. He provided me with good tea and food every day, but he just refused to show up. Thinking about it, he didn't want to expose himself. Fortunately, I didn't ask him to show up again. Now think about it, if he showed up, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to tolerate me. Got out safely."
"If he really did something to me, it wouldn't be as simple as squeezing him four million taels. I would kill him without you taking action." Ye Jiayao said harshly.
Xia Chunyu hugged her tightly, his hoarse voice filled with deep self-blame: "I was negligent, I should have sent someone to protect you."
After the incident about Vice General Guan came out, he was most worried about Yaoyao. As a result, something happened. If it weren't for Xiao Jing, Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.
