Outside the quilt, the two of them talked and listened, and the quilt was turned upside down.
Zhao'er rubbed it and felt that it was even more delicate than the baby's skin. She measured every inch and rubbed it carefully. Mingming was blushing early, but he still resisted the urge to escape.
She buried her face in Xue Tingyan's shoulder and neck, only to feel that she was holding a fireball filled with boiling water in her hand, which was about to explode in an instant, but she also felt that she couldn't put it down, so she could only cover her face and pretend to be okay.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand, she thought he would turn around and hug her, but who ever thought he was holding her hand.
He clearly felt that he was very excited, and he could even hear the rapid flow of blood, his texture jumped up and down, and his low breath hovered in her ear, but he never turned his head.
Until the end of the game, Xue Tingxiang took out a handkerchief from under the soft pillow and cleaned it up for her.
The light, I don't know when it was blown out.
The room was dark, and the duvet was still so warm, even hotter than before, but Zhao'er was full of depression.
In the silence, Zhao'er didn't know if Xue Tingxiang fell asleep, but she couldn't.
Obviously very tired, during this period of time, in order to set up Tailong Business, she was almost connected. Even if I came back this time, it was still a two-day journey day and night, but suddenly there was no sleepiness.
He also thinks she is wrong, is she really wrong
Silent all night.
Zhao'er didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night last night, so she got up a little late.
When she woke up, Xue Tingxiang was no longer there, and there was only a little residual heat left on the kang.
She got up and put on her clothes, then opened the door to call someone, and Xiaolu hurriedly brought a basin of hot water in.
"Where's my lord?"
Zhao'er always likes to work by herself, so she washes herself with hot water, while Xiaolu cleans up the bed.
"Master has gone to the front yamen, but recently, master doesn't stay in the yamen very often. A house is being built on Shuangyu Island. Master will go to sea every one or two days."
"How is the house built? Every time you go to sea, you come back on the same day?"
"Sometimes I go back, sometimes I don't, but every time the master comes back, his clothes are very dirty. I heard others say that the master is watching those people build houses every day."
Xiaolu and Xiaohong have also served Zhao'er for a few years, and they usually do nothing to avoid them. Like Xiaohong and the others when they first came, Zhaoer never let them help clean up the bed, but now they are used to it, so Xiaolu cleans up the veil.
Of course she knew what it was, and with a blushing face, she stuffed it into the replaced bed and hurriedly carried it out. But he was relieved, thinking that the relationship between the lady and the master is probably all right, everything is like this, what can happen.
For the next few days, Xue Tingxiang and Zhao'er did the same.
On the surface, it seems to be the same as before, but in fact, only Zhao'er knows in his heart whether there is anything. It's not that Xue Tingxiang ignored her, but her attitude was different from before.
She couldn't tell what was different, it was just not as close as before.
The other thing that made her angry the most was that he was obviously angry, and he looked like 'I don't want to care about you, but I'm very angry', but every night at night, he would be dishonest, and it's not right to be dishonest. The person facing her, but the hand facing her.
The key point is that he still looks righteous and confident. Zhao'er has been very careful in his low-pitched voice, and he has even reviewed it several times in his heart.
It's just that she didn't care about arguing with him. The key is that she didn't think about how to open the knot between the two, and soon with the construction of Shibo Si Yamen, the family was faced with the matter of moving.
Shibosi Yamen was built on Dongximen Street.
This street is straight and spacious, it is the widest street in Dinghai County, and the best position on the street is reserved for Shibosi.
The Xue Mansion was just behind the Shibo Company, and it was built together with the Shibo Company. It was also Xue Tingxiang who paid for the public and private, but he paid for it himself.
Unlike the county government office, this place is considered to be a separate establishment, and no one helps to manage the affairs of the subordinates, so they have to recruit children to manage it by themselves.
Fortunately, Zhao Di was there to help her. After the two sisters discussed how to smooth things out, they went to work one by one, and they were in good order.
The most important thing is the servants in the house. However, after Zhao Di came to this matter, Xue Tingxiang asked her to do it, and he had already ordered someone to do it.
I just didn't tell Zhao'er, I deliberately wanted her to be in a hurry.
In the past, Zhao'er did everything in a simple manner, and the same goes for the servants around him. Because of the business, there were a few people around Xiaohong. Later, when she came to Dinghai, she only brought two girls. Fortunately, there were still some servants in the county government office, so she was not afraid of being unable to leave.
Now it can't be done, and the government has been built.
The concierge, the office, the stable, the sweeper, the kitchen, need people everywhere. Even if you don't need anyone to serve you, you have to be concerned about your face.
As the New Year's Day is approaching, Xue Tingxiang was promoted by the newly-appointed Shibo Division, regardless of the size of the official, but because this is the only one, there will inevitably be people visiting during the Chinese New Year.
Being an official pays most attention to face, when people come to visit, do you accept or not accept them
How is the reception? The servants who didn't have the shot, couldn't the master go into battle in person? And there are so many people up and down in this mansion, eating, drinking and lhasa is a problem.
When Zhao'er was so busy, she finally understood why Xue Tingxiang was so angry this time.
Her business is important, so is the matter of Xue's house. Being an official is not just being an official, it is necessary for people to communicate and socialize. The male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is in the house, this inner not only refers to staying in the inner house, but also all aspects.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it's another New Year's Eve.
This year's Xue Mansion is more lively than ever, and there are horses and horses in front of the door, and they have never stopped.
Nowadays, people pay attention to ice and charcoal respect. Although Xue Tingxiang is not a capital official, because of his key position and such a good opportunity, naturally many people come to visit.
Any visit is always accompanied by a gift, here is the etiquette.
It's New Year's Eve after all.
So throughout the whole festival, Xue Tingxiang and Zhao'er waited to be greeted at home.
One was busy at the front, the other was at the back, Zhao'er repeated the experience of last year and the year before. However, compared to before, the people who came to greet her and hold her around her changed again, their status was higher and richer than before.
After finally sending a bunch of guests away, Zhao'er touched his neck tiredly.
Xiaohong came up and pinched her shoulders: "Madam, are you tired? If you don't have a servant to serve you and take a break?"
Zhao'er nodded and stood up, but she couldn't help shaking her body, Xiaohong hurriedly supported her from the side, she stood firm, and helped her bun before stepping out of the flower hall.
In the past, she didn't think that she saw few nobles, but this time, just a few days before the Chinese New Year, Xue Tingxiang ordered a lot of clothes to come back.
There are hers, there are Zhao Di, and there are two children, all of them are good materials, and their appearance is also the latest.
There are not only clothes, but also many gold and silver jewelry, which are dazzling and dazzling. Zhao'er was curious at the time, why was he stingy, and he knew that when he bought something for her, Zhao Di woke her up.
Unlike Zhao'er, Zhao Di stayed in the Shen family for many years.
The market that should be seen has seen it, and the big family understands all the rules, knowing that as long as it is a wealthy family, life will not be easy.
Not to mention the men, like the female family members of the back house, if you think that people are waiting for someone at home, you are wrong. There are twenty-four solar terms in a year, not to mention those minor solar terms. For example, during the festivals, the house is lively and rich. If there are no problems, then you need to check whether you can't be a human being in ordinary times, or whether you are a man. Officer is too small.
Men socialize outside, and women’s family members must socialize in the mansion. They are all exchanges between officials’ wives and officials’ wives. This decency is not only reflected in how big the house is, how many servants you have, whether the servants are well behaved, and more. It is reflected in the clothing of family members.
A person needs a face, a tree needs the bark, and the rich and aristocratic family need that skin when they dress up. If your skin is shabby, you don't feel that you don't mention it, and the key is to lose the face of the man in the family.
But in officialdom, they are too particular about all kinds of false pretences. It is a big mistake to think that female relatives are female relatives and have nothing to do with men. Between the exchanges, the real and the false, the men deal with the men, the women's family members deal with the women's family, all of them are in the word 'communication', which is fully revealed.
"I really don't know what good things you did in your last life. You can find such a man in this life. You can do everything for you. You say that you are someone's wife. How can I bear you." Zhao Di said with disgust.
These days, Zhao'er has been criticized by her for all kinds of dislikes. People who don't know it think that Xue Tingxiang is her younger brother, and Zhao'er is her sister-in-law.
"This color is suitable for you, it matches your skin. This hairpin is also good." While Zhao Di disliked it, she also dressed up Zhao'er.
This kind of dress is different from Zhao'er before. Although her dress can be seen in the past, for the official family, it seems too casual and plain.
In fact, in the vernacular, it is shabby.
On the one hand, Zhao'er was disliked by her sister, and on the other hand, she was tossed and dressed in various ways, and even gave instructions. That is to say, after these instructions and tossing, the wives and wives of various houses and prefectures came to the door this New Year's Festival, and she did not show any shortcomings.
It’s just that you’re so tired that you can talk to people and talk to ghosts. This trick is understandable. She is out doing business, which is a must.
The only thing is that she wears several kilograms of jewelry on her head, and she also needs to wear three layers of decent clothes on her body, which makes her particularly unaccustomed to it.
Back in the room, Zhao'er hurriedly asked Xiaohong to take off her head and hair, and she felt much more comfortable.
She couldn't help but reached out and touched her numb scalp, tapped her shoulder again, and went to the bed.
"I'll lie down for a while, and I won't eat dinner."
Zhao'er lay down on the couch, Xiaohong went to put down the tent, and then quietly walked out.
This sleep was when it was dark, and when Zhao'er woke up, Xue Tingxiang just came back from the front.
Different tricks, after all, there are very few people who bring their daughters to the door, so today he met a lot of customers in front of him. He smelled of alcohol, and he didn't know how much he drank.
Xiaohong came in with a few girls holding hot water handkerchiefs. Zhao'er stayed in her clothes and helped Xue Tingxiang wash and change clothes.
Zhao'er didn't eat dinner, and Xue Tingxiang drank all day today and barely ate anything, so he asked the kitchen to bring two bowls of noodles.
The tofu is used as a topping, and the big bones are boiled to make the soup base. It is served with shredded chicken, fungus, mushrooms, and some green vegetables. The delicious food makes people swallow their tongues, but they are actually hungry.
After eating and washing again, the two rested.
There was a lamp in the corner of the bedroom, and the yellow light was reflected through the tent, and everything was pus and pus.
Zhao'er wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
Just as he was thinking about how to speak, he suddenly leaned up.
It's very pleasant to take care of yourself and do your own thing. From time to time, I took a small sip of bright red, and my face was relaxed, and I could see that I was in a good mood.
Zhao'er looked at his face in the dark, and his eyes gradually glowed with anger.
Just as his breathing gradually became rapid, at the critical moment, Zhao'er suddenly threw the things in his hand away and said, "Enough is enough, I have endured you for a long time!"
