Synopsis: This novel was originally titled "The Fierce Husband Spoils Me Too Much".
In Dali Village, there was an "ugly" ge'er who couldn't marry. Everyone laughed at ...
Chapter 251 Chapter 251 Looks like! Really too much like! ...
Thinking of the Qin family's bustling future, Fu Qingxu rubbed his hands with joy, "I know, no matter whether they are of the Qin family's bloodline or not, as long as they call us uncle, the gift will definitely not be light." He is a prince, and it would be cheap if the gift he gave was too light.
At this time, the housekeeper hurried over, "Master, Prince Xiao is here to visit."
"What is that bastard doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?" When he heard that Xiao Hengzhi was coming, the smile on Fu Qingxu's face disappeared instantly, and the speed at which he changed his expression was unmatched.
Qin Qingfeng shook his head and chuckled, "You, you are such a grown-up and yet you still want to quarrel with Prince Xiao." It would be fine if he just quarreled, but he always lost and was bullied, yet he became more and more courageous.
Before Fu Qingxu could even get the butler to let anyone in, a nonchalant voice rang out, "Hey, little Xuxu, you're still awake. You've kept me waiting. It's a dark and windy night, and I can't stand the wind or the cold, so I came in first."
When Fu Qingxu saw the person coming, he didn't even remember that he was a prince. He was so angry that he almost jumped up and down, "Xiao Hengzhi, how dare you." So he treated Prince Xu's Mansion as his own home and could break in and out as he pleased. Was it his own problem?
Xiao Hengzhi sat aside with a familiar and unceremonious manner, completely ignoring the raging Prince Xu. "How could I be so presumptuous? I'm not being so presumptuous. It's been a long time since we last met, Lord Xu. How have you been?"
In Xiao Hengzhi's opinion, Fu Qingyun and Fu Qingxu were just two lazy guys. Although they were not scheming, they had been scheming against Fu Qingyu since they were young. As long as the tasks assigned to them by the late emperor did not involve civil affairs, they would always make various mistakes. One of them had a heart disease, and when something happened, he would get a little excited and roll his eyes and faint. The other one had a stutter, and when he got anxious, he couldn't say a word clearly for a long time.
Both children were so useless, but they had big appetites. The late emperor was very angry and scolded them for being incompetent at everything and eating everything without leaving any leftovers. They were gluttons. How could he have given birth to two gluttons?
The teacher who educated them was even more troubled. Whenever the late emperor asked about the two princes' studies, the teacher could only shamelessly say against his conscience that they were smart but lacked understanding. If they were not princes, the teacher would probably have directly scolded them as stupid as pigs.
The late emperor could tell that the teacher was speaking against his will. After all, on ordinary days, when he tested their academic performance, they either fainted or were too nervous to speak. So, what else could he not understand?
In this case, how could the late emperor dare to hand over the throne to them?
But who would have thought that after Fu Qingyu sat on that chair, both of their illnesses were cured. Isn’t that strange?
Later, Xiao Hengzhi discovered that Fu Qingxu and Fu Qingyun were really ruthless people. They had actually plotted against Fu Qingyu at such a young age. They had been able to pretend for so many years, which showed that they were not simple-minded.
Xiao Hengzhi even looked up to Fu Qingxu for this.
"Thank you for your concern, Prince Xiao. I wonder what brings you here to visit today?" Qin Qingfeng smiled just right, not too distant, but not too intimate either, and personally poured a cup of tea for Xiao Hengzhi.
Fu Qingxu sat back unhappily, glanced at Xiao Heng with displeasure, and said in a pointed way, "Pouring tea is something the servants can do. Why do you have to do it yourself? Not every poor fellow deserves to drink the tea you pour. If you pour tea, you should pour it for me, your husband. Those single men who don't have a husband or wife, and don't have anyone they love, probably won't be able to appreciate how good your tea is. Even if someone drinks it, it's like a wild boar trying to appreciate fine chaff."
Xiao Hengzhi uttered a "hey" and the teacup in his hand almost flew onto Fu Qingxu's face. As if he had thought of something, Xiao Hengzhi changed his anger and said to himself complacently, "Let Fu Qingxu show off a little more and see if this kid will come to him for help."
Thinking of this, Xiao Hengzhi no longer felt angry. He took a sip in front of Fu Qingxu and said, "Qingfeng, I came here today to ask you something."
Xiao Hengzhi and Fu Qingxu were bickering, and Qin Qingfeng didn't support either of them, so he simply remained silent. But now he spoke quickly, "I wonder what Prince Xiao wants to ask me?"
It was not difficult to hear from Qin Qingfeng's tone that Qin Qingfeng was more respectful than close to Xiao Hengzhi. After all, as a member of the Qin family, he could not have been unaware of the matter between Xiao Hengzhi and Qin Feiyu.
General Qin has a good relationship with the old Prince Xiao. When Qin Qingfeng was a child, he often went to the Xiao family. Compared with his cousin Qin Feiyu who lived outside the Great Wall all year round, Xiao Hengzhi and Xiao Xuanzhi were more like his brothers. It was precisely because they were close that Fu Qingxu felt jealous and disliked Xiao Hengzhi more and more as he grew older.
Later, the incident with Qin Feiyu happened. Although it was known that Xiao Hengzhi had done nothing wrong, people were biased by nature. In addition, Xiao Heng was poisoned, and Qin Qingfeng married into Prince Xu's mansion, so their relationship gradually became distant.
How could Xiao Hengzhi not know this? He never said anything about it. "I heard that you lost your child halfway up the mountain?"
Matters concerning children are now taboos in Prince Xu's Mansion. On such a happy day, what does Xiao Hengzhi mean by this?
Fu Qingxu's expression suddenly turned ugly. He stood up with a stern look on his face. "Xiao Hengzhi, what do you want to do? If you want to cause trouble, get out of my Prince Xu's Mansion immediately."
Xiao Hengzhi frowned and ignored Fu Qingxu's scolding. He just looked at the pale Qin Qingfeng and asked, "Are you going up the mountain to worship Buddha and burn incense?"
Xu Yunfan guessed that Qin Mu's big reaction to "burning incense" was probably related to this. Before Xiao Heng came to Prince Xu's Mansion, he asked someone to investigate and naturally knew what happened that year.
Qin Qingfeng's pale face showed an expression of extreme regret. He didn't say anything, but nodded with one hand covering his chest, and supported his forehead with the other hand on the armrest of the chair.
According to the guards, there is a Taoist temple on the mountain where Fu Qingxu was assassinated, and it is said to be very effective.
Qin Qingfeng heard from the people that the temple was very effective, so he thought of going there to make a wish, hoping that his nephew could be found as soon as possible. When he went there, he whispered in the child's ear where they were going and what they were going to do there. He also taught the child to be pious when burning incense, so that the gods would hear his wish. However, he didn't know that the Taoist temple was assassinated before he even arrived.
Qin Qingfeng regretted it very much. If he had known earlier, he should have gone by himself.
"Xiao Hengzhi, what do you want to do? Are you happy when you expose someone's scars?" Fu Qingxu shouted angrily with red eyes.
To be honest, before he was poisoned, if Fu Qingxu had yelled at him like this, they would have fought. But now, after years of self-cultivation, Xiao Hengzhi found that his temper had improved a lot, and his tolerance had also increased a lot. He pulled out a jade pendant from his sleeve and threw it in front of Fu Qingxu, "Do you recognize this thing?"
Fu Qingxu took it and saw the jade pendant clearly. His pupils couldn't help but shrink. The hand holding the jade pendant shook violently, as if he had suffered a great shock. His words were incoherent and incoherent. "This... your... jade pendant... belongs to the child. This is Amu's. How did it end up in your hands?"
How could he not recognize the jade pendant in his hand?
This was made by him personally for his only little brother. This piece of jade was even the best quality jade that was presented as tribute by other small countries. He was the one who shamelessly asked the emperor for it, and Xiao Hengzhi even jumped out to make trouble. In the end, it was because he was thick-skinned that the emperor was annoyed by his pestering, so he gave the jade to him so that he could have some peace of mind.
After getting the jade, Fu Qingxu took it and personally followed his master to learn. How could he not recognize the jade pendant that was made by his own hands?
They had sent so many people and dug almost three feet into the ground but still couldn't find any clues, let alone the jade pendant. So, how could the jade pendant that Fu Mu wore close to his body end up in Xiao Hengzhi's hands?
Qin Qingfeng saw the jade in Fu Qingxu's hand and grabbed it like crazy. He looked at it again and again, holding it tightly to his chest as if it were a treasure. It was as if he was holding his child instead of a piece of jade. He walked towards Xiao Hengzhi tremblingly, his face covered with tears, no longer as cold and calm as outsiders saw. "Brother Hengzhi, can you tell me where did you get this jade pendant?"
Xiao Hengzhi: "..."
When you have nothing to ask for, he is Prince Xiao; when you have something to ask for, he is Brother.
What a realistic brother he is, worthy of being Qin Feiyu's younger brother.
"I have seen this child. He is in the hands of my brother-in-law. As for this jade pendant, he also gave it to me. It is now with your brother."
Brother-in-law?
What is the relationship between Xiao Hengzhi's brother-in-law and Qin Feiyu?
These things are no longer within the scope of Qin Qingfeng and his wife's thinking. Their minds are full of their brother, and no one remembers to think about these irrelevant things.
Fu Qingxu asked the housekeeper to prepare the horse, and without caring what time it was, he took the impatient Qin Qingfeng and rushed to the Qin Mansion.
Ever since returning from Xiao Qin's house, Qin Feiyu had cleaned and renovated the west yard.
After Xu Yunfan came to Dayan Dynasty and started making money, he had good food and drink. Except for the toilet where he couldn't adapt to the hole dug and two wooden boards, where he could see a disgusting pool of fat maggots wriggling around when he looked down, other places were fine.
The conditions in the village are indeed not as good as those in the town. Qin Run frequently empties the toilet in Xiao Qin's house, and the toilets in other houses make Xu Yunfan's hair stand on end.
When he went to Aunt Qin's house to play, he saw with his own eyes that Sandan came out of the toilet with his bare butt. It was said that there was too much water in the pit, so the garbage in his body was discharged and the feces splashed onto his butt.
Xu Yunfan couldn't stand having to prepare himself mentally every time he went to the toilet, so after he got the money, he immediately asked someone to build a bathroom and a toilet.
In the bathroom, Xu Yunfan had someone put a bathtub. When the weather was not so cold, Qin An, Qin Mu and Xiaobao would take a bath together. Qin Feiyu saw that Xiao Qin's bathroom was nice, so he asked someone to get one for him. Now, the three little guys are soaking in the big bathtub together. Once the door is closed, the three of them are having fun.
Xu Yunfan sat outside, listening to the geese's laughter coming from inside, and was speechless.
He had already sent Xiaobao back to the Fang family, so he went to Prince Xiao's Mansion. When he came back, Xiaobao was already squatting at the door of the Qin Mansion, waiting for him with tears in his eyes.
Fang Zixi said that Xiaobao was making a fuss and didn't want to stay in the Fang family. He cried and looked for his father, Daddy Qin, and his second and third uncles. No matter how Fang Zixi tried to comfort him, he wouldn't listen. The three brothers Fang Peizhou were even more anxious and tried their best to do whatever they wanted. But Xiaobao's eyes were swollen from crying, but he just refused to take the toys handed to him by his uncles. Seeing Xiaobao crying and hiccuping, Fang's father and mother were so distressed that their eyes were red.
It is impossible for a nephew/grandson to come back and say that he doesn’t want to keep the child, but they feel even more distressed when they see Xiaobao like this.
Helpless, Fang's mother had to persuade Fang Zixi to send Xiaobao over.
Xu Yunfan couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard the sound of water inside and the three children's laughter.
He is a professional picker of cubs. He hasn't raised the cubs for long, but every time he goes to Beijing, he has to send all three of them away.
TNND, why do I feel worse the more I think about it?
Xu Yunfan read the letter sent by Xiao Ba over and over again, and sighed softly. It seemed that he really owed the Qin family in his previous life.
The Qin residence is very lively tonight. After taking a bath, Xiaobao is chasing Qin An and Qin Mu in the yard. Who would be willing to sleep on the first night after finding their grandson?
Qin Run sat next to Qin Feiyu and said, "Xiaobao, run slower. You'll sweat a little later. I'll see if your father doesn't spank you."
Xu Yunfan's love for children does not mean that he will spoil them blindly. In short, when it is time to beat them, he will do it.
Just as Xiao Bao was about to run to grab Qin Mu, a figure appeared and picked up his third uncle.
The other person didn't know what was wrong with him, but he started crying when he looked at his uncle. Xiaobao looked at him blankly and found that his uncle seemed to be tense. Although Xiaobao was afraid, he remembered that he was the little man of the Xiaoqin family. His father said that a man should protect his family and care for the weak.
Xiao Bao stood on tiptoe to grab Qin Mu's foot, slapping his calf with one hand, "Hey, who are you? Put my Third Uncle down quickly, or Xiao Bao will call his father to beat you."
Qin Qingfeng looked at the child in her arms and tears immediately fell out of her eyes. She didn't care about the other child at her feet at all. Fu Qingxu, who came in a few steps late, saw the person Qin Qingfeng was holding and froze on the spot.
Like! Really so similar!
The handsome boy in front of him, with delicate features and a delicate figure, is exactly like a smaller version of himself when he was a child.
Fu Qingxu was very confident that he had looked this handsome when he was a child.
Although the three brothers are not as good-looking as that monster Xiao Hengzhi, they were born into the royal family, and which of the concubines their ancestors married were ugly?
From generation to generation, as long as the royal family does not revert to their ancestors, there will be nothing ugly.
Naturally, Fu Qingxu is not bad looking either. He has loved to show off since he was a child. He and Xiao Hengzhi have been disgusted with each other since they were young. They almost always compare themselves in everything. Xiao Hengzhi looked like a lucky doll when he was a child. Fu Qingxu often looked in the mirror to compare himself with Xiao Hengzhi. What was the difference between him and Xiao Hengzhi?
Therefore, how could Fu Qingxu not remember what he looked like as a child.
Xu Yunfan was soaking in the tub, closing his eyes and enjoying the comfort. When his consciousness was in a state of confusion, a voice that ruined the mood rang out, "Father, this is not good."
Xiaobao had no intention of avoiding suspicion and simply pushed open the door and ran inside. The Qin family's bathtub was not the tall bathtub used in the inn, but was like a modern bathtub, but it was made of wood. When Qin Feiyu in Dali Village asked him what it was, Xu Yunfan said it was a bathtub. Qin Feiyu saw that it was not high and it was safe for several children to take a bath, so the bathtub prepared in the bathroom was not high either.
Xu Yunfan panicked and quickly covered his key parts with a towel hanging nearby. He turned to look at the person who came and said angrily, "What are you doing? Did the dog bite its butt?"
"Father, two weird uncles are here. They are crying and have taken my third uncle away. Father, go and get him back."
Upon learning that Qin Mu was actually the child lost by Qin Qingfeng, the Qin family burst into tears and had no time to care about Xiaobao.
If he were in Dali Village right now, Xu Yunfan would have jumped up immediately at Xiaobao's words. However, at the Qin residence, Xu Yunfan waved his hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's not your uncle, that's your grandfather. They are your third uncle's parents. How can you ask your father to compete with them?"
He is a brother-in-law, what can he use to compete with others?
Xiaobao ran away half-believing and half-doubting, and even though Xu Yunfan was shouting angrily inside, the little guy didn't even turn his head.
Xu Yunfan pounded the water and angrily cursed, "Little bastard, your butt must be itchy, right? Come back and close the door!"
The only response he got was a gust of cold wind.
Xu Yunfan had seen many people crying today and had no intention of going to the front yard. He wrapped a towel around his waist and, seeing that there was no one outside, ran over, closed the door, poured half a bucket of boiling water into the bathtub, and then lay back down.
What Qin Run saw when he came in was Xu Yunfan sitting in the bathtub, rubbing his body, with foam all over his head and body.
No wonder this guy always smells so good. His scent is even better than that of women and men.
"Don't you want to get up yet?" Qin Run squatted beside the tub, rolled up his sleeves, and leaned one hand on the edge of the tub. He checked the water temperature with the other hand and found it was a little cold. "Do you want some more hot water?"
Xu Yunfan knew who was coming in just by the sound of footsteps. Without even turning his head, he continued to rub the soap on his hands, trying to make more bubbles. "I haven't finished washing yet. Isn't there still half a bucket of hot water in the bucket next to me? I'll add more later. I heard that Mu Ge'er's parents came to visit?"
"Yeah, but it's not mom and dad, it's two dads." Qin Run leaned forward to take a look and couldn't help laughing. "Okay, stop rubbing. There are already a lot of bubbles. If you rub it again, the soap we brought won't be enough."
The soap in Xu Yunfan's hand had just been used last night. He and Xu Yunfan shared one piece, and the three children shared one piece, but now it seemed that one third of the soap in Xu Yunfan's hand was gone.
"But I want to take a bubble bath." Xu Yunfan's hands kept moving. "That way, you'll smell good after taking a bath. Don't you love the smell the most? By the way, what do Mu Ge'er's two fathers look like?"
Before Qin Run could reply, Xu Yunfan had already answered his own question. "But he must be good-looking. After all, Mu Ge'er and you look like him. The Qin family's genes are probably not too bad. As for Prince Xu, he comes from the royal family, so he must not be ugly. If your family were in my family, it would be no problem to debut in a minute. Hey, this is a world where looks matter! Many people like people like you."
"Are you one of the many people?"
Xu Yunfan turned his head and said stubbornly, "How is that possible? Am I such a superficial person? I'm attracted to you not just for your face, but for your inner qualities."
Qin Run smiled so hard that his teeth were visible and he punched Xu Yunfan lightly. "I don't know you yet. Have you forgotten what you said at the beginning? If you are good-looking, you will marry me in exchange for saving my life. If you are not good-looking, you will be my slave in the next life."
Even after being exposed by Qin Run, Xu Yunfan was not embarrassed. Instead, he teased Qin Run, "Brother Run, you are so narcissistic. You actually said you are good-looking in a roundabout way. Who gave you the confidence?"
"You." Qin Run grabbed the towel beside him and patted Xu Yunfan on the shoulder. The latter turned around and squatted obediently.
Qin Run rubbed someone's back and said, "Didn't you say I was good-looking, tall and handsome? I believed you, but you said I was narcissistic. So everything you said before was a lie?"
Xu Yunfan: “…”
This guy is very sharp-tongued today!
After rubbing Xu Yunfan's back, Qin Run poured hot water into the tub. "Daddy said he wants us to stay here tonight. What do you think?"
"What about you? What do you think?" Xu Yunfan was quite good at throwing questions back. "I want to hear your thoughts."
Qin Run: "I want to go out and buy a house to live in. Although the Qin Mansion is very large, it will probably be more comfortable and convenient for us to live there. Didn't you say that many young people in your area want to live on their own after getting married? Besides, Xiaobao doesn't want to leave you, and Brother Fang is Xiaobao's father, so he will definitely come to visit Xiaobao often in the future."
It would be fine if Fang Zixi came once in a while, but if she came to the Qin Mansion every day, people outside would probably start spreading rumors again. Besides, they lived in the Qin Mansion, and Fang Zixi might not feel comfortable coming here every day.
So, Qin Run wants to move out, is it more because of himself and Xiaobao?
Xu Yunfan thought: "Then let's look around and try to buy a house closer so that it will be convenient for us to visit our elders on weekdays."
The location of the Qin Mansion means that the housing prices are not cheap. Although Lord Qin and Second Lord Qin were reluctant to leave, they were willing to do so only after Qin Run said that he would not live too far away.
With two elders accompanying them to look at the house, the people from the real estate agency were naturally very attentive. After listening to Qin Run's request, they quickly took the three of them to a house not far from the Qin Mansion.
"Master, look, this is the house I was talking about. Do you think it's suitable?"
The house introduced by the broker is nice, with a front yard and a back yard. There are three rooms on the left side of the backyard, three rooms on the right side, and two rooms in the middle. With so many rooms, there will be enough room for Li Liu to live in even if he comes over in the future.
The front yard is not small, or rather, there is no small house in this alley. After all, the Qin Mansion is nearby, and most of the people living around here are either rich or noble.
Qin Run looked at the front yard that had been used by the previous owner to plant flowers and plants, and thought that this piece of land was big enough. It would be perfect to clean it up and grow some vegetables in the future.
