Chapter 260 Xie Zhao is back

Hong Jin was weather-beaten. She drank a large bowl of wine and said cheerfully, "Madam really has a pair of sharp eyes. She can easily see through that evil man."

The snotty kid's father is a bodyguard, and he brought the kid to the north to transport goods.

The father and son went to the market and were targeted by a black-hearted man.

One of the human traffickers tried to scam a man and held him back, while a woman on the other side took the opportunity to hit the beggar.

"The gang also includes the mother-in-law's son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Her grandson is responsible for luring the kids with candies and making them let down their guard."

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. The little kid has learned to lie since he was very young. Hong Jin couldn't help but sigh.

All the people were caught and taken to the yamen. Hong Jin turned back after seeing that no one was left out.

After a whole day of hard work, I'm already hungry.

The room quickly became lively again.

…

Entering the twelfth lunar month, every household prepares for a prosperous new year.

In the midst of busyness, it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

All the ingredients for the banquet have arrived and are stored in the warehouse of the camp in the north of the city.

Starting from today, the soldiers of the Huotou Camp will chop stuffing, fry meatballs, and make dumplings. They will prepare some of the dishes first and freeze them, and then cook them on New Year's Eve.

A few days ago, Lu the boatman and Jiao Niang came together to deliver seafood, and they were in contact with Jiang Yuzhu throughout the process. When they heard that Xie Zhao was not there, they felt a little disappointed.

"On the 23rd, sticky sugar-coated melons, on the 24th, sweep the house... on the 28th, let the dough rise, on the 29th, steam the buns, and on the 30th, stay up all night..."

Early in the morning, a few little kids came to the gate of the mansion singing rhymes in clear and crisp voices.

Manager Gong opened the door and gave the kids a handful of candies. The kids thanked him, said auspicious words, and then dispersed with laughter.

There are only two days left until New Year’s Eve, and the atmosphere of the New Year is becoming more and more intense.

It was almost noon and Lanhua, the kitchen manager, had already prepared the meals. She had cooked chicken, duck, fish and meat in various ways, making several large dishes.

The weather is cold in winter, which is when crabs grow fat.

The crabs transported from the seaside were cut into two halves by Lanhua, stir-fried with hot oil, scallions, ginger and garlic, and then added with dry chili and a spoonful of sauce. The spicy crabs are very delicious with rice.

Jiang Yuzhu did not return to her room, but stayed with the servants, feeling the atmosphere of a modern canteen.

She was eating when suddenly the room fell silent. The servants put down their bowls and chopsticks and stared at the door.

Shen Zhilan and Mo Yan, who came to eat for free, looked over, and then the two looked at each other and felt that the day had come to pack up and leave.

Just a little bit, just a little bit, and the aunt and sister-in-law will be able to stay and celebrate the New Year!

At the door, Xie Zhao and Chen Tao stopped.

Jiang Yuzhu seemed to sense something, and then turned around, and the couple's eyes met.

It had been some time since they separated. Xie Zhao was wearing a green shirt, looking a little thin and cold. When he looked at Jiang Yuzhu, his eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly raised his lips and smiled. The coldness faded away, and he became a little warmer.

"Madam, my husband is back."

Xie Zhao's expression was expressionless, and he showed no excessive emotions, but in fact he was suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.

After a long pause, Jiang Yuzhu replied softly, "Yuanhe, I'm glad you came back safely."

At this time, if he showed too much surprise and seemed exaggerated, it would arouse Xie Zhao's suspicion.

Even though he had been walking in the tunnel for several days, Xie Zhao's clothes were spotless, while Chen Tao next to him looked miserable, with a bruised nose and face, bruises, and an untidy beard, looking very shabby.

"Little cousin, I heard Huaiqing is getting married?"

Chen Tao heard the news as soon as he returned to the border town.

Although I knew Jiang Huaiqing would get married, I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Hong Xiu observed Chen Tao's words and expressions, thinking that the master had just returned home and must have a lot to say to his wife, so she took the initiative to step forward to help Chen Tao answer his questions and said, "My cousin, I am Hong Xiu, and you can ask me any questions you have."

Chen Tao was about to speak when he saw Xie Zhao acting as if no one was around, ignoring everyone else, and walking out naturally holding Jiang Yuzhu's hand.

Standing at the door, Xie Zhao turned his head seemingly unintentionally and looked in the direction of Shen Zhilan, his eyes dark.

Chen Zhilan was eating the tender fish meat, but it tasted like wax and she lost her appetite. She said to Mo Yan who was sitting restlessly beside her, "Let's pack up. My cousin is chasing people away."

"Ah, Brother Xie didn't say anything!"

Mo Yan didn't want to leave. She made an appointment with Jiang Yuzhu to make ice lanterns, play mahjong and mahjong, and enjoyed herself staying at home every day.

Shen Zhilan shook her head, claiming to have some understanding of Xie Zhao. Her cousin was an old fox and would not say it directly, but she could be sure that he would use some tricks.

By then, she and Mo Yan would be kicked out, which would be embarrassing.

It is better to be sensible in life.

Shen Zhilan put down her bowl and chopsticks, and before pulling Mo Yan away, she persuaded Yan Lin, "Doctor Yan, how about this, you come with me to the general's mansion as a guest."

It is best to let people who are an eyesore run away.

Yan Lin was also within the range of the shooting. He wanted to stay there, but he didn't have the courage.

So all the people who were eating for free were cleared out except Chen Tao who had just returned.

In the bedroom, as Jiang Yuzhu stepped into the room, Xie Zhao pulled her. She lost her balance and fell into Xie Zhao's arms.

Next, Jiang Yuzhu felt a chill on her chest, and the buttons were unbuttoned, leaving only a bellyband.

"Jade beads..."

Xie Zhao lowered his narrow eyes and his voice was low and hoarse, concealing the fire in his eyes.

He thought about it day and night in Surabaya City, missing the smooth feeling in his hands.

"Yuan He, it's broad daylight now, if a maid comes..."

Jiang Yuzhu tried to dodge, but she pressed herself against the wall, unable to escape, as if she had offered herself to the enemy.

Xie Zhao chuckled and said firmly, "No."

At this time, no one had the courage to interrupt him.

The couple is so happy after a short separation, how could there be such a tactless person?

After enduring for a long time, Xie Zhao just wanted to hug the person he loved in his arms and express his true feelings.

He picked her up and walked to the bedside. Before he could move, someone called out from the door, "Master, why did you and your wife close the door?"

Liang An took advantage of the servants being busy and ran to report, the main point of which was to describe how the lady had a hard time during the time when the master was away.

He must behave well in front of his wife!

Xie Zhao: "..."

It’s so cold, why don’t you close the door and wait for the northwest wind to blow?

Liang An, this blind idiot, must be punished by cleaning the toilet!
