"You are the eldest lady, so the gift from my father-in-law must be arranged by you."
Zhang Yan hummed.
"Okay, my dad doesn't need anything. Just bring some gifts... No, you bad guy, stop it... um..."
Huang Xiao smiled happily.
…
"It's right to let Hai Dongzhu and the others live in Dahuang Village. You are so bad! Get up, how long has it been? Zhen'er will come here soon, what should we do?"
Huang Xiao was about to say no, when his ears moved and his face became strange. He heard Zhang Lizhen's footsteps, followed by Zhang Lizhen's voice.
"Sister, husband? Are you there?"
Zhang Yan was shocked and twisted Huang Xiao hard.
Huang Xiao grinned and traveled back to modern times in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Yan was naked and held in Huang Xiao's arms. Suddenly she was in modern times, and she was immediately ashamed.
Huang Xiao smiled and went to the bathroom and put in hot water.
The two took a bath...
"What a nonsense, there's nothing I can do against you!"
Zhang Yan was speechless: "If Zhen'er finds out, I can't spare you!"
Huang Xiaodao: "No, I will tell her after a while that you have something to do when you return to the palace. Sister-in-law, you can rest here. I will finish the work in the evening and I will come back to accompany you."
Zhang Yan nodded helplessly. It would not be appropriate to meet her sister Yueniang again at this time.
After taking a bath, Huang Xiao took Zhang Yan back to the room and covered her with a quilt.
Huang Xiao turned on the air conditioner and adjusted it to a comfortable temperature.
Another tablet was placed on the bedside table.
"You go to sleep. I'll come over before I leave later. If you wake up, the tablet will be placed next to you. The new White Snake is also downloaded in it. If you're bored, you can take a look. Sister-in-law, do you still remember how to play?"
Zhang Yan hummed.
Huang Xiao opened the tablet and demonstrated once before dimming the bedside lamp and kissed Zhang Yan on the forehead.
Zhang Yan was so moved by Huang Xiao's careful care that she felt tired and slowly fell asleep.
…
Zhang Lizhen couldn't find Huang Xiao and her sister in the yard, so she pushed open her sister's room.
Zhang Lizhen's nose moved, and she was a little unsure about the smell... It was like?
"Bah, what am I thinking about!"
Zhang Lizhen turned and left the room, muttering to herself: "Where did my husband and sister go? Jin Bao and Huang Ling are also missing..."
When she returned to the house, she saw Huang Xiao and Yue'er already sitting at the dinner table.
"Husband, where is my sister?"
Huang Xiao said: "Your Majesty has something to discuss. My sister has returned to the palace. Let's eat by ourselves."
Zhang Lizhen nodded in relief and sat next to Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao saw that Zhang Lizhen seemed to have a poor appetite and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Is it not to your liking?"
Zhang Lizhen snorted and put down her chopsticks: "I'm so angry that I don't want to eat."
"What's wrong? Who made my sweetheart angry? Tell your husband, I'll take it out on you!"
Zhang Lizhen's face turned red because of Huang Xiao's darling.
Huang Xiao affectionately used a spoon to scoop up the white melon soup that Zhang Lizhen liked to drink, and brought it to Zhang Lizhen's mouth like a dog-leg.
(Winter melon is called white melon in Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Compendium of Materia Medica. After frost, the skin of winter melon becomes as white as powder and its seeds are also white, hence the name white winter melon/white melon/white melon)
Zhang Lizhen was shy and happy at the same time. She glanced at Yueniang who was not disappointed at all, and the pride on her face also disappeared.
Huang Xiao tried his best to coax Zhang Lizhen to finish her dinner.
Of course, although Yueniang wouldn't mind, he didn't favor one over the other, and he also served Yueniang several times.
The palace maid came forward to remove the food and serve tea. Yueniang also returned to her room. She knew what Zhang Lizhen was going to say. She felt that being here would embarrass Huang Xiao, so she simply resigned.
There was no one around, so Zhang Lizhen said: "Husband, I don't like the two foxy girls in Chang'an and Changle. They... Humph! They don't have good intentions! I don't know what my sister thinks. By agreeing to let them live in, isn't this inviting wolves into the house? I’m going to ask my sister tomorrow.”
Huang Xiao didn't answer.
Zhang Lizhen snorted and lowered her voice: "Those two vixens are just that. Everyone knows that they are Sima Zhaozhi, but Huang Nimian and Shen Nairong, hum!"
Huang Xiao was stunned, "What's wrong with them? Did they make you unhappy? If so, just ignore them from now on."
Zhang Lizhen felt relieved. Huang Nimian was her husband's cousin and Shen Nairong was her husband's cousin, but her husband said, ignore them both. This made Zhang Lizhen feel that her status in her husband's mind was very high, and her anger suddenly seemed to disappear. Most of it has dissipated.
Zhang Lizhen came over and put her ear next to Huang Xiao's ear.
Lizhen's voice was very soft, but hearing it in Huang Xiao's ears made him extremely surprised.
According to Zhang Lizhen, Huang Nirong and Shen Nairong came over first and said some flattering words at first, but Huang Nimand changed the topic and vaguely mentioned the childhood sweethearts Shen Nairong and Huang Xiao, childhood sweethearts and other old things.
Both the words and the words hinted that the relationship between Huang Xiao and Shen Nairong was unusual. Shen Nairong did not refute it, but simply passed it on, and then talked about Huang Xiao's novels with Zhang Lizhen.
However, she compared some details of the childhood relationship between the protagonists Guo Jing and Hua Zheng, intentionally or unintentionally, to the relationship between herself and Huang Xiao when they were children. It seemed that Hua Zheng's prototype was Shen Nairong, which made Zhang Lizhen very angry.
But Huang Nimian and Shen Nairong were metaphors, and Zhang Lizhen couldn't get angry, so she had to be patient and accompany her. Later, Hai Dongzhu and Tai Song came over, which seemed to add fuel to the fire, which made Zhang Lizhen's boss unhappy.
After Huang Xiao left just now, Zhang Lizhen stopped being perfunctory and politely asked Hai Dongzhu and the two girls to leave on their own.
Huang Xiao shook his head: "First of all, I don't remember what happened before. Besides, I will never endorse the bad habit of getting married between cousins. Looking back, I will suggest to Your Majesty that the marriage law be revised to prohibit it in the entire Ming Dynasty. Intermarriage between blood relatives within three generations!”
Zhang Lizhen was surprised and felt extremely grateful.
She was so worried that she told Huang Xiao about this matter. She didn't expect that Huang Xiao's attitude was so determined and he wanted to reform the law for this.
"Husband, you are so kind! I made the mistake of blaming you for being so angry!"
Huang Xiao smiled slightly: "As long as you don't think wildly, let me tell you that marriage between cousins in my place is absolutely prohibited. This is nonsense, and there is a great possibility that future generations will be mentally retarded or born with disabilities. This This is something with scientific basis, okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, there is no need to be angry for no reason!”
Zhang Lizhen nodded.
Huang Xiao talked about what happened in the evening and how he would return home tomorrow.
"Tonight's operation will start very late, and when the work is over, it will be even later. I won't come back to sleep tonight."
Zhang Lizhen nodded sensibly and told Huang Xiao to pay attention to safety.
Huang Xiao asked her to tell Yueniang, and he went to the school ground.
"Husband, you have important things to do. Don't worry about your family. We will be obedient and never cause trouble to you. We are waiting for your return in triumph!"
Huang Xiao laughed, hugged Zhang Lizhen, and kissed her on the red lips.
"Go for your husband!"
