After returning home, Shen Hao felt a little uneasy. He leaned on the deck chair in the backyard, still thinking about things.
Hong Xiu and Jinxiu were beating Mr. Shen's legs and shoulders. They were very sensitive to the changes in Mr. Shen's expression. They knew that something was on Mr. Shen's mind when they saw his current appearance, so they both stayed calm. Say something.
Xia Nu was also there. She cut a plate of fruit and inserted it into Mr. Shen’s mouth with a small bamboo stick.
Master Shen rarely took a nap today and came back in the afternoon. In this short time, the three fox girls at home were inseparable from Master Shen.
The sweet and sour fruit suited Shen Hao's taste. After eating three pieces in a row, Shen Hao calmed down and hugged Xia Nu, who was sitting next to him, into his arms, and then bit her fox ears gently out of habit.
"Well...Master..."
The sweet voice can make a man's bones tingle, and it can also make the red silk and Jinxiu next to him turn crimson and make his whole body hot.
In the past, if Shen Hao interacted closely with Xia Nu, Jinxiu and Hongsi would run away with blushing faces. But recently, the two of them have changed from their normal behavior. Even if their bodies are extremely hot, they will not run away. They bite their thick lips and actively look at the charming scene in front of them with their eyes flashing.
Even Shen Hao felt that he was holding Xia Nu, but there was a warmth on his left and right arms at the same time. The red silk and brocade were actually close to each other. Two pairs of big eyes looked at him with watery eyes, and there was a thick feeling inside. Fiercely looking like he wants to join in the burning.
"Master, in fact, if Hong Silk and Jinxiu were in the tribe, they would be able to get married at this age. You see... um..."
Shen Hao didn't give Xia Nu much chance to speak and blocked her mouth. Then he hugged the person in his arms and left the backyard in a flash. Jinxiu and Hongsi were so angry that they pouted and groaned. They are jealous.
For some reason, Shen Hao felt very hot in his body today. He was aroused when he was in Yu Mansion, but he suppressed it. Naturally, he no longer needed to suppress it when he returned home, and he never wanted enough from Xia Nu. Not boring.
This torment ended at night.
Hong Silk and Jinxiu, who pouted their mouths and raised their noses, their whole bodies weak and their legs trembling due to the lingering smell in the room, brought them food and wine, and then were driven out by Shen Hao with a wave of his hand.
"Master... they actually want to serve you." Xia Nu was paralyzed, but her consciousness was very clear. She also saw the expressions of the red silk and brocade who were driven out, and burst out laughing, and at the same time she also Delivering a message to Shen Hao.
Seeing that Shen Hao didn't speak, Xia Nu said again: "Master, we are all your slaves, and we are lucky to be able to serve you. It is only good for them that you want them now, otherwise, I am worried that what will happen to the mistress in the future What will happen to them if they enter the mansion..."
"Okay. Let's talk about this later."
How could Shen Hao not understand? Xia Nu wanted to keep Hong Silk and Jinxiu's status in the family, and was worried that the mistress of the house would come in and kill the two helpless fox girls and throw them into a mass grave to feed the dogs. This is not uncommon in upper-class circles. The lives of countless barbarians are like toys and ended up in mass graves, ending miserably.
But is it just to help the two little ones gain a foothold? I'm afraid it's more than that. Shen Hao knew that Xia Nu had even more plans. If Shen Hao asked for red silk and brocade, besides the two little fox girls, Xia Nu would also benefit the most, because she would have a long-term and stable helper in this family. There will be a lot of room for improvement in the future.
Aren’t the two little fox girls sweet?
It looks delicious, how could it not smell good? It's just that the two little fox girls are still too young, and Shen Hao has always been prepared to wait for another two years. Besides, he doesn't have any special hobbies and is not in a hurry.
Shen Hao was not in a hurry, but Xia Nu was getting more and more anxious.
Lying slumped on the bed, turning sideways and looking at her master's back, Xia Nu always felt more and more nervous. The master is a good person, Xia Nu can be sure of this. But at the same time, she also understood that her identity could not be the exclusive owner after all, and the huge backyard of Shen Mansion was definitely not a place where she could make the decision.
The master has not married the mistress yet. Once the mistress comes in, the Shen Mansion, at least the backyard, will change.
The master cannot stay in the house all the time. What if the mistress is evil? Xia Nu had heard too many miserable stories about female slaves in Yaxing, and she did not dare to bet everything on the kindness of a "mistress" who had no shadow at all.
In fact, it's not just red silk and brocade, but also the girl Reixiang Xia who lives outside has been very close recently. She didn't avoid anyone, and would sit in Lianxiang's small courtyard from time to time. Today I gave her a piece of rouge gouache, and tomorrow I got to give her a sachet in return... She and Lianxiang have already become like sisters, and they get along very well.
Lianxiang didn't come in now, she was also waiting for the lady in charge of Shen's house to come through first. Naturally, he is Natsu's best natural ally.
In Lianxiang's words, regarding the matter of the head of the Shen Mansion, it's almost over.
Xia Nu had already heard about the contents of the master's reward from the National War version. She didn't understand it at first, but after asking her newly recognized sister Lianxiang, she understood everything.
The emperor is urging the marriage, and the master has no choice now, either to end his official career, or to find a woman to get married as soon as possible.
But Lianxiang also told Xia Nu that the master's current status meant that he needed to be well-matched to find a powerful wife, and he had to be at least a fifth-grade family to be qualified to enter the Shen Mansion and become a main wife. Women who are businessmen can only stand aside.
However, the owner is young and has a high position. Even if there are wealthy families who want to reach the fifth rank, there are still people who can climb up the ladder. As long as the master wants to find her, there will definitely be a woman living in the Shen Mansion within this year and taking the position of the head of the household.
That's why Miss Xia hoped to let her master collect the red silk and brocade before that happened.
Xia Nu was just a pity that as a barbarian, it was too difficult to conceive her master's child. Although she had tried very hard, there was no movement in her belly. Otherwise, how could she have so many worries?
Shen Hao had no idea that Xia Nu had so many thoughts in her heart. He didn't even think about Xia Nu carefully, but the housekeepers Hu Tian and Wang Jian would tell him some of Xia Nu's behavior and whereabouts from time to time, and let Shen Hao Hao knew that his fox girl actually had her own thoughts.
In Shen Hao's opinion, it is normal for Xia Nu to have some petty thoughts, otherwise she would be really stupid.
The next day, Shen Hao did not continue to take a rest and arrived at the Tongli Yamen early.
As soon as he sat down, Wang Yiming sent him an itinerary. As usual, Shen Hao needs to visit various black flag camps in the next half month.
"Sir, at present, all the Black Flag Camps have reported a situation report, and they have also sent a note asking you to come and take a look. What do you think of the arrangement?" Wang Yiming will not help Shen Hao make arrangements for this kind of thing now.
Shen Hao pondered for a moment and said: "Stay in Jingxi last, go to the north first, then east, south, and then come back."
