Chapter 129
"Cry harder?"
Lu Xiaobai looked at He Qin in disbelief, immediately wiped away her tears and stopped crying. Blushing, she pushed him away and said angrily, "How come you are becoming more and more shameless? In broad daylight, outside in the store, you actually said such things!"
As soon as Lu Xiaobai said this, the craftsmen and Ling Yi who were discussing how to make the clothes, what style to choose, and what kind of fabric to use all looked over.
Feeling their gazes, Lu Xiaobai blushed instantly. Seeing this, He Qin quickly hugged her in his arms to prevent them from looking at Lu Xiaobai.
Lu Xiaobai lowered his head and whispered, "Don't think that I will forgive you just because you helped me block it!"
Whether it's because he despises him or because he is embarrassed, it was all done by He Qin. Don't try to be a fake good person and expect him to be grateful.
He Qin said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I won't forgive you, just let me hug you first, okay? I want to hug you."
Lu Xiaobai pouted, snorted unhappily and said, "Hmph, since you want to hug me, then I'll hug you."
After saying that, she took the initiative to put her head on He Qin's chest and twisted her waist so that her belly would not press against He Qin, otherwise she was afraid of crushing the baby.
Ling Er was kicked by the others, but He Qin didn't look back. He held the little guy in his arms and comforted him.
Ling Er felt very bad and stood behind He Qin, not knowing what to say.
But things had to go on. The shopkeeper and the tailor were waiting to ask him. He hesitated for a long time before tentatively saying, "Master, could you please stop holding it? The cotton has been fluffed by the craftsman. But, but the fabric needs to be measured. How can you measure it if you keep holding it and not letting go?"
The most hateful thing is that Lingyi and his friends actually kicked him out to remind their master. What if the master gets angry and doesn't give him food?
After hearing this, Lu Xiaobai quickly struggled out of Dong Heqin's arms, turned his head away with a red face and didn't look at them.
He Qin felt a little lost, his arms empty.
Lu Xiaobai looked down at his belly, sniffed, and said, "Where can I measure it?"
Ling Er quickly pointed to the tailor at the side and said, "Right here, the tailor is waiting."
This cotton craftsman and tailor shop are opened together, and they also sell cloth. It is a large store jointly run by the two families.
The tailor was one of the bosses, a man. Lu Xiaobai walked over, lowered his head a little embarrassedly, opened his hands like the people on TV, and waited for the other party to measure him.
The tailor just raised his hand with the ruler when He Qin grabbed his wrist.
The tailor looked at He Qin in confusion and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"
He Qin took the ruler from the tailor with a serious face and said, "I'll do it."
He Qin's face looked a little unhappy. How could he let another man touch his brother?
Measuring the size doesn’t work!
Lu Xiaobai looked at the aggressive He Qin curiously and asked subconsciously: "Can you do it?"
After sending the tailor away, He Qin held up the ruler and smiled, "Is there anything I can't do?"
“Narcissism.”
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips. There was nothing he couldn’t do. If you gave him a mobile phone, would he be able to do it?
He Qin's movements were gentle and soft. After measuring Lu Xiaobai's size, he took him to choose the fabric.
Lu Xiaobai didn't like the dark linen and shook his head in disdain. The shopkeeper immediately took out a piece of white cotton cloth and asked, "What do you think of this cloth, young husband?"
Lu Xiaobai, who had seen all kinds of modern fabrics, curled his lips in disdain and was about to ask for a change when He Qin grabbed the fabric and said, "Sure, cotton is soft and comfortable to wear."
Moreover, cotton was relatively better in that era because ordinary farmers usually wore linen.
When Lu Xiaobai first came here, he was wearing linen, so that's why he felt so uncomfortable.
Later, He Qin bought him a silk undershirt, which improved his condition a lot.
Speaking of comfortable, Lu Xiaobai lowered his head and touched his clothes. It seemed that they were all made of this kind of fabric. They were indeed comfortable, so he nodded and said, "Then this one will do."
"Then I wonder if my young husband should be fancy or plain?"
Tricks?
Lu Xiaobai looked at the golden cloud pattern on the shopkeeper and quickly shook his head: "No need for fancy tricks."
So ugly.
But that’s the technology here, if you want to look good, unless you are rich and powerful, it’s easy for ordinary people to get into trouble.
So just go with solid colors, no patterns.
"Okay."
After deciding on the style, the shopkeeper took the pen and left.
He Qin also pulled Lu Xiaobai out of the tailor shop.
After such a delay, most of the people on the street had gone home, leaving only a few people.
Because it is still the same as before, there are not many things to buy, but fortunately there are still some, such as corn porridge.
Lu Xiaobai was dragged out of the tailor shop, still pouting in anger, when he suddenly saw He Qin approach him and ask, "Would you like some corn porridge?"
"Corn mush?"
Lu Xiaobai looked up curiously and thought for a while before asking, "What is that?"
I heard from the village chief before that Qiu Ge'er ground fresh corn and made porridge for his son to eat.
But he had never eaten it in his life.
He Qin pulled Yao to a small stall and said to the owner, "One bowl."
The boss immediately took the bowl and started working.
He Qin pulled Lu Xiaobai to sit down and explained to him what corn porridge was.
Corn paste is made by grinding dried corn into powder, then boiling water, adding the corn powder into the boiling water and stirring, then adding a little bit of sugar and stirring until it becomes thick.
It has a rich, soft and sweet taste and is the best food for children and the elderly.
After hearing this, Lu Xiaobai said with some disgust: "I'm not a child anymore, I don't need to eat this."
Isn’t it said to be for children and the elderly? He is neither young nor old, so why bring him here to eat?
He wanted to say he didn't want to eat it, but before he could say it, he smelled the fragrance coming from the pot and swallowed the words back in an instant.
He looked around with a scattered look, pretending that he had not said those words just now, and asked guiltily: "You, you don't want to eat?"
He Qin knew that no matter how angry the little guy was, a bowl of food could solve the problem. Now that he was full, he would probably forget what happened on the street when he got home.
He curled his lips, lowered his head and whispered, "If you feed me, I will eat."
Lu Xiaobai: ...
He didn't want to feed him. He Qin hadn't worked these days and wasn't tired. He had just been yelling at him on the street, so he didn't want to feed him.
The corn porridge was made very quickly, and soon a large bowl was placed in front of Lu Xiaobai. Lu Xiaobai took a small bite with a spoon.
It has a strong corn flavor with a hint of sweetness, melts in your mouth and tastes very good.
Lu Xiaobai was instantly happy. He blew on the porridge while eating with a spoon. When he remembered, he fed He Qin a spoonful. After finishing the whole bowl of porridge, He Qin only ate five spoonfuls.
However, after eating the porridge, Lu Xiaobai was finally happy. He took the fifty copper coins that He Qin had given him before and took He Qin for a leisurely stroll down the street.
But there were not many small things worth buying in ancient times. After walking around, I didn’t buy anything and had to go home with everyone.
As for the clothes, it will take several days to pick them up.
After returning home, Lingyi took everyone to dig a cellar.
Sitting in the yard, Lu Xiaobai asked He Qin, "Didn't you say we have a lot of sweet potatoes? Do we eat sweet potatoes every day?"
This is not good either.
Although sweet potatoes are delicious, you’ll get tired of them if you eat too much for too long, right?
He Qin touched Lu Xiaobai's belly and said, "What a beautiful world you were born into. You know so little about common sense here."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai curled his lips and said, "The place where I live is indeed very beautiful, and what you consider common sense here is no longer considered common sense in our place."
"Sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potato noodles, sweet potato jelly, and dried sweet potatoes, all of which taste great."
He Qin reluctantly explained to Lu Xiaobai, then asked him, "What do you want to eat?"
"I, I want both!"
As for sweet potatoes, Lu Xiaobai had only eaten sweet potato cakes, roasted sweet potatoes, and steamed sweet potatoes, but he had not eaten the ones that He Qin mentioned. If they were all edible, he would want them all.
"Okay, I'll make them all for you after I dig up the sweet potatoes."
He Qin's eyes were filled with doting, and Lu Xiaobai nodded happily and said, "Okay."
As the two were talking, suddenly, a horse neighed outside the door.
The two of them turned around at the same time and saw a carriage appearing outside the door, and a thin figure got off the carriage.
"Zhouzhou!"
Lu Xiaobai stood up in surprise, hugged her belly and ran to the door, while He Qin followed with a frown.
Seeing his brother and sister-in-law running towards him, He Zhou stood quietly at the door waiting for them to open the door. After they walked in, he called out softly, "Second brother, Second sister-in-law."
Lu Xiaobai quickly opened the door and pulled He Zhou into the house while asking, "You're finally back. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
He Zhou smiled and whispered, "When I came here, I saw someone digging sweet potatoes. Sister-in-law, I want to eat sweet potatoes."
"Okay, there's some in the chest."
Lu Xiaobai happily took out a roasted sweet potato from the ashes in the stove, shook off the ashes, and handed it to He Zhou.
He Zhou thanked him in a low voice, then quietly finished eating the sweet potato.
After he finished eating, He Qin finally asked, "What's going on?"
It's only October now and the grain has just been collected. Why would Han Xiao let He Zhou come back?
He Zhou put down the sweet potato peel, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Beili sent soldiers over, and he released me and escorted me back to Nanhe. I passed by here, so I thought of coming to see my second brother and his wife."
Seeing that Lu Xiaobai was worried, He Zhou smiled softly and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I also know that I have to marry him when I go back, and I agree to it."
He received the letter from his eldest brother.
The eldest brother said that if you don’t want the marriage, just refuse it directly.
He said that Nanhe now has no shortage of food and is not afraid of confronting Beili. Not everyone can offend the reputation of Nanhe Kingdom.
What this means is that as long as He Zhou says a word, the eldest emperor will use the whole country's strength to protect him.
But he knew that if he did that, it would be selfish.
Compared with the people's peaceful and prosperous life, his happiness was really nothing. Moreover, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the marriage. The marriage was with the royal family of Beili, so he didn't lose out. Therefore, he agreed.
After He Zhou finished speaking, He Qin didn't say anything.
But Lu Xiaobai asked in confusion: "But, but if you stay away from your country, if they bully you, we won't be able to find out in time and won't be able to help you."
