Early in the morning, a young eunuch in the palace knocked on the gate of the Hou Mansion holding a lit elm stick.
The chief manager of the Hou's mansion led a few maidservants to open the door for the little eunuch, and respectfully took the elm in his hand.
Just after the Cold Food Festival and three days after the fire ban, a new fire was lit in the palace early in the morning, and the slaves were asked to light it with wooden sticks and distribute it to the courtiers outside the palace to show the emperor's favor.
The chief manager of the Hou's Mansion got the fire, and sent a big maid to the kitchen, and then inserted the wooden strips at the door.
In the main room, Liu Qinghuan just woke up after sleeping until this time. Xue Mu didn't have to enter the palace today, so when she opened her eyes, Xue Mu was still lying beside her.
She looked at the still awake person beside her, pinched his nose maliciously: "Amu..."
"Well, Qingqing..." Xue Mu followed Liu Qinghuan's voice and kissed her lips without opening her eyes. Liu Qinghuan was caught off guard by the kiss, why did this person behave like this so early in the morning!
As if thinking that kissing like this was not enough, Xue Mu turned over and pressed on Liu Qinghuan's body, pulled off her thin clothes, and kissed her shoulder. Liu Qinghuan was quickly teased out of breath by him. Although he pushed his head away with his hands, her legs wrapped around his waist subconsciously.
"Amu..."
Liu Qinghuan's voice was a bit unbearable, Xue Mu slightly raised his head to look at her, his eyes became clearer: "What's wrong?"
"Well, I have to go to the grave today." The implication is not to do this kind of thing early in the morning.
Xue Mu caressed her side face lightly, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Obviously you provoked me first."
"Where do I have it?" Liu Qinghuan stiffened her mouth.
Xue Mu gave a low laugh, and unceremoniously put his big hand into her clothes, with an ambiguous and sexy voice: "Don't you know that men are easily impulsive in the morning?"
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
Then his husband told her personally how impulsive men are in the morning.
After a lot of tossing, Liu Qinghuan lazily lay in Xue Mu's arms, seemingly very tired. Xue Mu kissed her temples, and asked softly, "Didn't you say you were going to the grave?"
The corners of Liu Qinghuan's mouth couldn't help twitching, did he get cheap and play nice? She raised her eyes and looked at Xue Mu dissatisfied: "Then you still do this kind of thing?"
Xue Mu hugged her and laughed softly: "This kind of thing... I can't help it."
The two of them were sticky on the bed for a long time before getting up one after another. After breakfast, Xue Mu accompanied Liu Qinghuan to the mountain.
Today is Qingming, and there are many people who come to the mountain to worship their ancestors. Liu Qinghuan and Xue Mu walked to a grave with few people and stopped.
This is the grave of Liu Yushi and Mrs. Liu.
Liu Qinghuan was quietly burning the paper money, Xue Mu's hand rested lightly on her shoulder, the warm body temperature passed from his palm to the bottom of her heart, and Liu Qinghuan's heart was slightly warm.
After burning the paper money, Xue Mu lifted up his clothes and knelt down in front of the grave: "Father, Mother, Qingqing is fine now, if you know, don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Liu Qinghuan looked at him sideways, Xue Mu bowed in front of the grave, got up and helped Liu Qinghuan up: "Don't kneel for too long, are your legs numb?"
Liu Qinghuan shook her head. Xue Mu smiled at her, and straightened the wind-blown hair on her forehead: "When Ah Ruan grows up, bring her here too, my parents will be very happy."
"En." Liu Qinghuan responded, and stepped forward to hug Xue Mu. Xue Mu smiled helplessly, and patted her on the back like coaxing a child.
Not long after, Mrs. Liu also came over with a basket. There were some paper money and a few plates of snacks in the basket. When Liu Qinghuan saw her, she was at a loss for what to do.
Mrs. Liu was not unusual, she went to the grave and arranged the snacks one by one: "I'll come and see my sister, these are her favorite snacks when she was alive."
Liu Qinghuan's eye sockets were a little red, and finally she just called out "Aniang" nonstop.
After burning the paper money, Mrs. Liu stood up and said, "As long as you two are well, she will be at ease."
Xue Mu embraced Liu Qinghuan, and repeated what he said just now: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of her."
"That's good." Madam Liu is still very relieved about Xue Mu's son-in-law, "By the way, I haven't seen Ah Ruan recently. Is she okay? Has she grown up?"
Liu Qinghuan said: "Ah Ruan can already call her parents, but she still feels a little silly."
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but chuckled: "It's you who are stupid."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
Why does everyone use her as an example every time she says her daughter is stupid? She always thought she was pretty smart!
Xue Mu also laughed beside him, Liu Qinghuan turned her head and gave him a hard look.
Mrs. Liu returned to the Minister's Mansion after visiting the grave, and Liu Qinghuan and Xue Mu continued to enjoy the scenery on the mountain. From time to time in the distance, brightly dressed girls can be seen swinging on the swings. The mountain wind blows up their light skirts and wide sleeves, blooming on the green branches like mountain flowers.
The girls on the swing secretly competed who could swing higher, and the bolder ones even let go of their hands, and then... she was thrown out.
The girl's frightened screams frightened several birds into the air. Seeing that the girl was about to plunge headfirst into the ground, Xue Mu already tiptoed and flew forward to catch her.
The girl was still in shock, and opened her eyes apprehensively, only to see a handsome man hugging her, and she blushed immediately.
Liu Qinghuan came over and coughed lightly at them.
Xue Mu put the girl on the ground, the girl straightened her clothes, and shyly said: "Thank you, my lord, for saving me."
Xue Mu didn't speak, Liu Qinghuan walked up, looked at the girl a few times, and said to her with a smile: "My girl, don't do such difficult moves on the swing in the future, it will easily disfigure you."
Girl: "..."
Xue Mu smiled and pulled Liu Qinghuan away, the girl chased after him unwillingly, and asked Xue Mu, "I don't know the name of this young master, but I will come to the door to thank you in the future."
Liu Qinghuan said: "His surname is Li and his name is Goudan. He lives at the east end of the village, the one that sells sesame seed cakes."
Girl: "..."
Until returning to Hou Mansion, Xue Mu still had a faint smile in his eyes. Liu Qinghuan squinted at him and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Xue Mudao: "I'm wondering if Qingqing wants to eat sesame seed cakes. I'll send someone to the east of the village to buy one for you."
Liu Qinghuan snorted: "I don't eat what I bought, I want to eat what you cook."
Xue Mu embraced her with a smile, and kissed her lightly between the eyebrows: "I will go to a master to learn some other day, and I will cook for you when I learn it, okay?"
Liu Qinghuan blinked, looked at him and said, "You have to keep your word, son of a bitch."
Xue Mu smiled and touched the tip of her nose, and kissed her lips. Just when she was about to get better, Liu Qinghuan suddenly turned her head to avoid his kiss. Xue Mu licked the corner of her lips, and asked dissatisfied: "What's wrong?"
Liu Qinghuan smiled at him: "Ah Mu, I want to play on the swing."
Xue Mu: "..."
The chief manager of the Hou's Mansion hurriedly summoned a group of people and set up a swing in the courtyard as quickly as possible. Xue Mu checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was very secure, he let them go down. Liu Qinghuan took a nap, looking at the swing in the yard eager to try.
Standing on the swing, she told Xue Mu behind her, "Push it higher, Amu."
Xue Mu frowned slightly, and warned again: "You hold on tight to the rope, and you must never let go."
"Got it! Push it!"
Xue Mu didn't push it too high, he was really worried that Liu Qinghuan would fall. But Liu Qinghuan himself was highly skilled, and after a few vigorous swings, he was about to surpass the courtyard wall of the Hou Mansion. Ah Ruan was hugged by Qing Zhi, and looked at Liu Qinghuan curiously with her black and round eyes, and giggled as she saw her swinging higher and higher.
Xue Mu felt that this height was no longer safe, and wanted Liu Qinghuan to come down, but when the swing reached the highest point, Liu Qinghuan tapped her toes and flew out directly using lightness kung fu. Xue Mu was startled, and flew out without thinking.
Climbing over the courtyard wall and hugging Liu Qinghuan by the waist, the two landed lightly in the courtyard. Xue Mu's arms were tightly bound, and he stared at Liu Qinghuan with a frown: "Where do you want to go?"
Liu Qinghuan threw herself into his arms and giggled a few times, raised her head like a cat, and said softly to Xue Mu: "I don't like Ah Mu hugging other girls."
Xue Mu's eyes moved slightly, he looked at her intently for a moment, and kissed her slightly raised lips: "Then I will only hug Qingqing from now on, but...you don't want to escape from my arms."
As he spoke, he carried him back into the room. Liu Qinghuan sat on him, wrapped his neck around his neck and kissed the tip of his nose, and said, "Ah Mu, Ah Ruan is almost one year old. Let's give birth to a little Amu to accompany her, okay?" good?"
After giving birth to Ah Ruan, although they had a lot of intimacy, Xue Mu never impregnated her again. Of course Xue Mu had no objection to having more children, but after seeing how painful Liu Qinghuan was during childbirth, he couldn't bear to let her suffer the pain of childbirth again.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Liu Qinghuan put herself closer to him: "I heard that giving birth to a second child will be much easier than the first one. I'm not afraid."
Xue Mu's hand gradually slid along her slender legs to her waist, and brought her into his arms: "Does Qingqing want a little Amu so much?"
"Well, let him practice martial arts with you, and be as good at fighting as you, isn't it good?" Liu Qinghuan's voice was soft, and she bit his lower lip as soon as the words fell.
Xue Mu's breathing became short of breath, he took off Liu Qinghuan's coat, and licked her fair neck: "What if the baby is still a little dumpling?"
Liu Qinghuan pursed her mouth: "Then give birth until little Amu!"
Xue Mu let out a muffled laugh, turned over and pinned him down.
All the servants of the Hou's mansion found out that during this period, Lord Hou and his wife spent significantly more time in bed, and not long after Miss Ah Ruan's first-year banquet, the lady's stomach sent good news again!
The servants suddenly realized that Master Hou and his wife were busy making humans.
It was another year when the lotus blossoms were in full bloom, the wife gave birth to a son successfully, and everyone in the Hou's mansion rejoiced. When Liu Qinghuan woke up and found out that she had given birth to a son, she almost cried.
Finally, finally there is little Ah Mu.
When Mammy carried him, he was still sleeping with his eyes closed. As soon as Liu Qinghuan hugged him, he opened his eyes as if he had a feeling, and kept smiling at his mother.
Liu Qinghuan happily teased him, raised her head to look at Xue Mu: "Ah Mu, Ah Ruan's name is Xue Han, his name is Xue Lian, okay?"
Xue Mu thought about it for a while. Although the word Lian is a bit feminine, it is still acceptable. Anyway...it's not his name, just be happy.
With Xue Mu's approval, Liu Qing smiled happily and said to the little one in her arms: "Xue Lian, you have a name!"
Xiao Budian seemed to understand her words, and laughed even more happily with her, and wanted to grab his mother's fingers with his own little hand.
Liu Qinghuan took the initiative to hand over her finger, Xue Lian grabbed it and refused to let it go.
Xue Mu narrowed his eyes, although he was very happy to have his son Qingqing, but...he would not let his son shake his position.
Liu Qinghuan talked with Xue Lian for a while, then turned to Xue Mu: "Amu, please give him a baby name."
Xue Mu said: "Just a dog's egg."
Liu Qinghuan: "..."
This name is more like what she picked out... Isn't Ah Mu always very educated
Ning really got her grandson in her arms this time, and she was so happy that her body became much lighter. Ah Ruan also seemed to know that he had a younger brother, so he ran over to play with him when he had nothing to do.
Liu Qinghuan felt a little relieved when she saw that the relationship between their siblings was so good. Ah Ruan is so stupid, if someone bullies her in the future, her younger brother can still protect her.
But General Xue was not very happy. He looked at Liu Qinghuan who only cared about teasing Xue Lian, and said with a straight face: "Qingqing, I think you won't love me anymore after you have a dog."
Liu Qinghuan turned her head and blinked at Xue Mu: "Amu, I remember I said this before."
Xue Mu frowned and said nothing, looking very aggrieved.
Liu Qinghuan stepped forward and hugged him, smiled lightly in front of him and said, "Amu, I will never love anyone more than I love you."
Xue Mu hooked her waist and kissed her on the cheek: "I like to prove this kind of thing with actions."
Liu Qinghuan looked at him suspiciously, pretending not to understand: "What action?"
"You'll know right away." He carried him onto the bed, waved his sleeves, and the curtain slowly fell.
