Three poles in the sun.
The four girls, Mei Lan, Zhu Ju, were all out busy, and it was rare for the young master to take the initiative to help. Only Qiu Tong, a newly married woman yesterday, was half sitting, half lying, leaning on the bedside.
Originally, at home, Qiu Tong was always the first to get up in the morning and the last to go to bed at night. She did the most things at home and had to arrange everything before she could rest assured.
But today, the young master said that he had worked hard last night and must have a good rest today. The four dead girls also followed him and pressed him on the bed to prevent him from getting up.
I know my own things. Apart from the pain at the beginning last night, I felt relieved afterwards.
Even the pain at the beginning was actually insignificant - she was a master at practicing Iron Cloth Shirt to perfection. Even though "The Iron Cloth Shirt" didn't pay much attention to external training by falling and beating, all the hard work was better than starting with internal strength. It's ten times more difficult.
Some masters who are beginners in practicing internal health-preserving skills may be afraid of pain, but I have never heard of masters who are accomplished in external martial arts being afraid of this kind of pain.
However, I didn't think so at the time. Now that I'm bored and looking back, the young master's movements are skillful and experienced, and there are many tricks. It doesn't look like it's the first time. Looking back on the past year, the young master often goes out alone in the evening and comes back early in the morning.
This was unbelievable to the lazy young master, but when asked the reason, the young master would not tell her - as a maid, there was nothing she could do but give the young master some face.
But now Qiutong can imagine where these gestures come from.
This made Qiutong still a little regretful.
Among the various stories told by the young master, the one that Qiu Tong envied the most was the story of 'two people for life'. Although she did not object to the girls who were like her four sisters, she was secretly worried about the young master secretly going out to eat. dissatisfied.
The young master said that from today on, he is Mrs. Deer.
Are you really Mrs. Deer?
There was no sedan chair, no words from the matchmaker, no worship in the high hall, no flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, just a word from the young master? Isn’t this a bit childish?
No, as long as the young master thinks she is his wife, what does it matter whether others recognize her or not?
With the young master's temperament, if the master and his wife pressed his head and asked him to go through such a troublesome marriage process, do you believe that the young master would just rub oil on the soles of his feet and run away?
Think about why the young master took everyone away?
Not the Queen Mother, Mrs. Mingji, who wants to grant a marriage to the young master?
Qiutong felt at ease.
From now on, I will be Mrs. Lu, and no one in the world can deny this except the young master!
Not even the master or his wife.
As for outsiders?
Who dares to talk nonsense? Is it really disadvantageous to be like the phoenix ax in my mother's hand?
By the way, I don't know if the four girls can take good care of Heishen and the young master without him taking charge. As for the young master going out to help, Qiutong has no hope at all.
Apart from practicing martial arts, killing people and fishing, the young master has never done any housework in his life.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tong quickly stood up and changed her hair bun from the maid's hanging bun to the woman's pony bun in front of the bronze mirror.
As for the clothes, there is nothing I can do for now, I can only wait and go to a tailor to customize them - with her figure, it is not easy to buy women's ready-made clothes directly.
By the way, Qiu Tong originally felt that he was too tall and always felt a little inferior. Although the young master said that he liked his figure, Qiu Tong always felt that he was trying to comfort himself.
But the young master's performance last night proved that these words were not false.
Wanting to clean this place, Qiutong raised the corners of her mouth.
She turned sideways, raised her breasts, tightened her abdomen and raised her buttocks in front of the bronze mirror. She carefully looked at her curvy figure and nodded with satisfaction - no wonder the young master liked it. In fact, she also thought her figure was quite good.
As for other people's opinions, it's not worth taking her to heart at all.

The ferry slowly docked, and the travelers from Wu State walked down the gangway.
Carriages and merchants disembarked from another gangway, where tax collectors evaluated the prices of goods and collected taxes.
"You, you, you, come here!" A soldier shouted unceremoniously, calling some passengers aside for separate inspection.
He was referring to big, strong men, and most of them carried weapons.
Jiao Heng was also among them.
Jiao Heng was one of the three generals of the Lu family. He was once one of Lu Wu's martial arts initiates. Because of this connection, he was sent by Lu Jinhe to call back his runaway son.
Originally, Lu Jinhe wanted to send Lu Wu and his mother, Lu Yunshi, but he had to give up this idea in order to speed up the car and catch up with Lu Wu.
The Lu family has made up their mind to gather all the manpower and wealth they can and recruit warriors to run the territory in southern Xinjiang while maintaining their trade routes.
After all, there were very few opportunities to obtain territory, and because of Lu Wu's great achievements, the court agreed to put the two official fiefdoms together, so that the Lu family's territory would be close to two-thirds of the county.
Being shouted at by the soldiers, Jiao Hengyi frowned, but he did not get angry. Instead, when he approached a sergeant, he quietly handed over a bunch of copper coins and asked in a low voice: "This soldier, what happened here?" What's the matter, why are you so strict?"
Jiao Heng was a military officer. Just looking at the soldiers selected by the Chu State soldiers, they were all powerful warriors, and they were all from the Wu State. He knew that this was a temporary martial law measure, usually to prevent the enemy from dispersing. Soldiers penetrate.
"Come here, there is a Wu spy here!" The sergeant not only confiscated the money, but also shouted.
Jiao Heng's expression changed greatly, but when faced with the Chu soldiers who were surrounding them in groups armed with crossbows, shields and swords, he could only take off his long sword, throw it on the ground, and then he would be captured without hesitation.
For ordinary experts, the crossbow is a first-class killing weapon.
Even ordinary armor could not stop the crossbow arrows from being fired at close range, not to mention that there were more than ten soldiers wearing leather armor and holding shields and swords swarming over.
Among the passengers behind him, the eleven Lu family generals brought by Jiao Heng were about to make a move, but Jiao Heng stopped them with his eyes.
At the military station over there, as far as I could see, there was a group of soldiers (fifty people) on standby.
Moreover, the Chu soldiers in front of them, with the shield holders in front and the crossbowmen in the back, were obviously elites who had been trained for a long time.
Even if the Lu family generals he brought take action, everyone would just die together.
On the contrary, he obeyed the orders obediently. As long as he was freed from suspicion, he would be safe.
Although Wu and Chu have been facing each other across the river in recent years, their business trips have been quite frequent and they will not kill each other's business trip without any reason.
