Although Lian Fangzhou didn't know much about officialdom, Li Fu briefly told her about his position a few days ago.
Before returning to Beijing this time for the reward, he was a fourth-rank General of Thousand Households, which was rare at his age, but for the capital city where officials are the most important thing, this rank is not considered high.
Ding Taifu is an extremely talented minister, not only has he been the teacher of today's emperor, but also several of today's princes have been taught by him, besides, he is a civil servant system, while Li Fu is a general, so it is said that there will be no intersection between them. yes.
But today in Ding's residence, when Li Fu and Ding Taifu just met, Lian Fangzhou felt that the two of them really knew each other very well!
It's just an ordinary greeting, but it also reveals an unusual intimacy.
Li Fu didn't expect Lian Fangzhou to be so sensitive. He glanced at her and said with a smile, "You can see this? My wife is really amazing!"
Lian Fangzhou smiled at him and said nothing, waiting for his answer.
"That's right," Li Fu sighed softly, "I do know Taifu Ding very well! Except for the two of us, no one knows about this matter. You are my wife, and I won't hide it from you. Back then, it was a coincidence Then I got to know Tai Tu by accident. He taught me a lot. My parents passed away early. If it wasn’t for Tai Tu, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be where I am today. Originally, Tai Tu planned to introduce me when I was fifteen or sixteen years old. I joined the Imperial Forest Army, but when I was thirteen years old, my uncle and aunt suddenly sent me a letter asking me to go to their place in the northwest, and even sent a housekeeper to pick me up... After a few years, I lost contact with the Taifu. A few days ago Nian returned to Beijing in a hurry, and never had a chance to visit his old man! I didn’t expect to meet his old man here, oh, in Yuhe County, what a blessing!”
I don't know what kind of past he thought of, Li Fu's eyes brightened obviously, and the smile on his face softened a lot.
Lian Fangzhou suddenly smiled, and said: "I mean! I felt it when you met. You have respect for Taifu Ding from the bottom of your heart, and he is also kind to you from the bottom of your heart. It is definitely not an official entertainment. Like that."
He said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't say anything about it!"
Li Fu smiled and said lightly: "Actually, it's nothing, I just don't like to publicize such things!" force.
He respects Mrs. Ding and doesn't want this feeling to be contaminated by anything else.
The ship docked in the evening.
This is just a small town, and the inns in the town may not be comparable to the rooms on the ship. What's more, if you live on the boat, you can go on at dawn tomorrow, so you don't even get off the boat.
Li Fu only went out and arranged for the boatmen to patrol at night.
The boat lady drew water to make a fire and cooked the meal, and Lian Fangzhou and his wife and Miss Qin shared it.
Miss Qin's master and servant Xu really listened to Li Fu's harsh words, and became more honest. Not only did Ding Xiang not be able to hold back her muttering anymore, she was also stingy with giving Lian Fangzhou's master and servant a look of superciliousness.
They don't pick things, even Fangzhou's master and servant naturally don't pick things. It's also fun.
After the meal, Miss Qin stayed for a while to chat some gossip, and then she took Ding Xiang back to her room to sleep.
The night was as cool as water, Lian Fangzhou stood on the deck, put one hand lightly on the side of the boat and looked up into the distance, counting the sparks near and far, the light on the boat was reflected on the water, making the water even more profound.
From time to time, the river gently slapped the river bank, making a swishing sound, and the evening wind blew from the river surface, blowing the hair lightly, slanting across the face, slightly itchy.
Lian Fangzhou raised his hand and gently brushed the strands of hair behind his ears, looked into the distance, and sighed softly.
It’s nothing more than during the day, but at this time everything is quiet, everything is quiet, and thoughts creep into my heart unknowingly.
She couldn't help thinking about Dafang Village, about home, and about the lights in the yard.
At this time, I don't know what they are doing? Do you sit under the lamp and think about yourself as if you were thinking about them, talking about estimating where you are now, whether the road is peaceful or not...
Thinking about it, she felt insane, she suddenly felt a little regretful, she wished she could go back home immediately, and appear alive and smiling in front of them under the warm light!
"It's easy to catch cold by the water at night, what are you thinking here!" Li Fu came behind her and stretched out his arms to wrap her in his arms.
Even though Lian Fangzhou didn't feel cold before, when he hugged him, he still clearly felt that he was wrapped in warm breath, and his whole body became much warmer.
Leaning against his broad and strong chest, he felt a little more at ease for no reason.
Her expression softened involuntarily, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, without turning her head, she just smiled lightly and said, "I said I caught a cold, but I don't know how to get some clothes for me to put on."
Li Fu chuckled, hugged her arms tightly, leaned on her shoulders and approached her with a smile, "What clothes do you need when I'm here? Isn't it warm when I hold you? It's much better than clothes!"
Lian Fangzhou laughed happily, and said with a smile: "Not warm, not warm at all!"
"Really?" Li Fu thought about it deliberately, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, I must not be hugging tightly enough!"
Talking about tightening his hands, he didn't know if he was groping or scratching in the dark, which caused Lian Fangzhou to giggle, twisted his body and pushed him, smiling, "Don't make trouble!"
As the two of them were making such a fuss, Lian Fangzhou's thoughts calmed down a lot, he smiled and grabbed his mischievous hand, pretending to be stern, "Don't mess around! This, this is the boat, if someone sees—"
Li Fu stopped making trouble with a smile, took her hand and held it tightly, saying: "That's right! It's getting late, let's go back to the room and settle down!"
Although it was in the dark, even Fangzhou could clearly see the light and heat in his eyes when he said this, and he could hear the deep, magnetic voice with strong passion.
Her heart pounded twice, and she hurriedly said: "Well, I'm tired, I want to sleep!" The implication is not to do anything else.
"Well, I'll give you a massage!" Li Fu immediately said kindly and proactively.
Lian Fangzhou felt his scalp tingle when he heard the word "massage", he pinched him and gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "This is a boat, um, the sound insulation is not good..."
"It's okay, I'll take it easy!" Li Fu hugged her and walked towards the room while laughing softly, "Good lady, we still have a son..."
Lian Fangzhou yelled "Ah" and said something, which made Li Fu laugh, and soon the two entered the room and closed the door.
As for whether there was a massage, or about having a son, only they knew.
From the shadows, a slender figure slowly stepped out, staring at the direction they were leaving motionlessly, dazed.
The wind blew her plain dress fluttering and fluttering, making that slender figure look more and more pitiful.
As if it was unbearable, Miss Qin hummed and swayed, and hurriedly supported the side of the boat to stabilize her feet.
