Xiao Mu didn't want to talk to Leng Buyan anymore, and after deliberately making him angry, he went back to check on the Marquis.
The Marquis has already finished analyzing the affairs of Meng Chao and Master Zhou with Dean Liu.
The next step is to interrogate Song Lei and find out if there are any other secret rooms around the Song Mansion.
Of course, the most important thing is to try the imperial examination fraud case handled by Song Lei.
Two days later, people came to the capital. Xiao Mu was rewarded by the emperor for his meritorious service in rescuing the marquis.
But this reward requires him to go to Beijing to receive it.
Xiao Mu said goodbye to Mr. Hou, and made an agreement with the father-in-law from Beijing to meet at the inn five days later.
After everything was arranged here, he hurried back to Qingshan Village.
The family was all waiting for news. Instead of asking someone to come back to deliver the letter, it would be better for him to come back in person and be convincing.
Since Xiao Mu left, the Xiao family has not been able to eat well or sleep well.
I was afraid that something would go wrong with Xiao Mu and Mr. Hou.
In order to divert his attention, Ye Luoxin usually has to settle accounts until midnight at night after finishing his work during the day.
However, Yang Feng's morning sickness has been a bit severe in the past two days. Even with the medicine given by Divine Doctor Pei, she still has to vomit at least twice a day.
Xiao Song felt extremely distressed, but had no choice but to beg Ye Luoxin to let her spend more time with Yang Feng.
Ye Luoxin rarely stayed at home.
When Xiao Mu came back, what he saw was Yang Feng and Ye Luoxin sitting in the yard sewing bellybands on the child.
The wind is very cold in winter, and it is only warm at noon.
The sun shone on the side of Ye Luoxin's face, still glowing with a bright white light.
Xiao Mu couldn't help but think of when Ye Luoxin first arrived.
The day after she got married, Xiao Mu couldn't open his eyes when he saw her dangling in the sun.
Xiao Mu stood at the door and stared for a long time. He didn't come back to his senses until Xu Zhengxiang came back from outside and greeted him from behind.
"Dick!"
"Hey, mother!" Xiao Mu replied.
Xu Zhengxiang patted his back and said, "Hey, I've called you several times, why can't you hear me?"
Ye Luoxin heard the voice and looked over. Xiao Mu immediately said sheepishly: "Mom, maybe you are too tired and your mind is a little dazed."
Xu Zhengxiang originally wanted to say something else.
As soon as he heard Xiao Mu's words, he quickly said: "If you're tired, why don't you go in and take a rest."
Everyone in the yard heard the noise.
Xiao Song, who was working, and Xiao Changhe, who was walking and exercising in the yard, also looked this way.
Ye Luoxin quickly put down her needlework and came forward.
"Husband..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Hou is fine."
Without waiting for Ye Luoxin to ask, Xiao Mu said: "Master Hou is still in Huizhou to deal with the following matters. In a few days, Song Lei and his party should be escorted back to Beijing. The capital has sent people to protect him, so don't worry. Bar."
Seeing Xiao Mu in person and hearing so many words from him, Ye Luoxin's originally nervous heart immediately relaxed.
"Is your husband injured?" She took Xiao Mu's hand and examined it carefully.
"No!" Xiao Mu immediately hid his hands behind his back.
"You still said no!"
Ye Luoxin stubbornly pulled Xiao Mu's hand out and saw that several deep scars on it had scabbed over.
"Does it hurt?" Ye Luoxin asked.
"It doesn't hurt!" Xiao Mu replied.
"However," after saying that it didn't hurt, Xiao Mu regretted it a little, and immediately whispered: "Now it suddenly hurts again. Madam, why don't you help me blow it?"
"good!"
Ye Luoxin lowered her head, took his hand and blew gently.
The people in the yard were far away and didn't know what was being said here. They only saw the movements here.
But Xu Zhengxiang was close.
She originally planned to walk into the yard, but when she heard this, she didn't know where to go. She thought to herself: How can such an old son of mine act like a spoiled child?
Seeing this scene, Xiao Song nodded secretly: I learned it, I learned it.
Xiao Changhe: "Hey, my waist seems to hurt a little. Honey, why don't you come and take a look at it?"
When Xu Zhengxiang heard that Xiao Changhe said that her back hurt, she immediately became nervous: "How many times have I asked you, and you said it doesn't hurt? Why does it suddenly hurt again? I just told you not to walk outside for too long, Pei The miracle doctor has said that you need to rest for a while, so what are you trying to do?"
As she spoke, she walked over, gently held Xiao Changhe's waist with one hand and his arm with the other, and walked slowly back to the house with him.
Xiao Changhe groaned.
There was a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden.
After being hurt for so long, my wife is the most gentle today.
It seems that you have to be soft when you should be soft.
This second guy really has some tricks up his sleeve.
Xiao Mu's wounds didn't hurt at all.
After being blown by Ye Luoxin, I felt a little itchy again.
Ye Luoxin was worried after all, so she pushed Xiao Mu back to the room. She went to Divine Doctor Pei to get some gold medicine, and planned to come back and apply Xiao Mu's wounds.
When she entered the room, she saw Xiao Mu staring blankly at a thick stack of ledgers on the table.
"Why are you in a daze again? You must be really tired." Ye Luoxin said.
"After you finish applying the medicine, go to bed and take a rest."
Xiao Mu also turned around when he heard this.
He looked at Ye Luoxin with some distress: "Madam, why do you look at so many ledgers at once? No wonder I think you look bad! Don't do this again!"
Xiao Mu originally felt sorry for Ye Luoxin.
But after Ye Luoxin heard the word "different complexion", she immediately forgot what she wanted to say.
"Really? Is it really bad? Are there dark circles under the eyes? Have the pores become enlarged?"
As she said that, she immediately rushed to the dressing table, picked up the mirror and looked at it carefully.
Xiao Mu couldn't help but smile.
"You lied to me?" After Ye Luoxin saw his reaction, she immediately rushed over and beat him on the chest.
Xiao Mu also grabbed her hand and imprisoned her in his arms.
Obviously they hadn't been apart for long, but he felt like he hadn't held his Luo Luo in his arms for a long time.
This feeling makes people feel warm and at ease.
"Luoluo, I miss you so much!" Xiao Mu kissed her hair and said softly.
Ye Luoxin was infected by his emotions, and the feeling of loss resurfaced before.
"I miss you too." She said softly.
"In a few days, let's go to the capital together." Xiao Mu suddenly said.
"Going to the capital?" Ye Luoxin opened her eyes in surprise.
"Yeah!" Xiao Mu let go of the person in his arms, sat on the stool, and let Ye Luoxin sit on his lap.
"It will definitely take some time to go to the capital this time. I have been thinking a lot these days. I feel that I can only rest assured if you are by my side."
"But……"
It's not that Ye Luoxin has never thought about this problem.
But now my family's business, whether it's a handicraft shop or a braised rabbit shop, is very busy.
Xiao Song can take care of Xinyue Zhai. Although Yang Feng is pregnant, she can take care of the family affairs.
Shopkeeper Xu has full authority to handle the matter of joining.
It's just that Ye Luoxin, a handicraft shop, is a little worried.
After all, Xu Cai is still young and energetic.
"Didn't you say before that Magistrate Liu's daughter also has a talent for business? Her wife is also very open-minded. Why don't we let them help manage the handicraft shop? What do you think?" Xiao Mu said.
