Chapter 53
He Zhou only asked Lu Xiaobai to learn how to act coquettishly, but did not ask him to learn how to pass the egg yolk to He Qin.
He Zhou doesn't like eating eggs and has been in poor health since childhood. In order to coax him to eat the eggs ordered by the imperial physician, He Qin would help him eat the egg yolks and let him eat the egg whites. He has gotten used to it over the years.
But doesn’t Lu Xiaobai also dislike eating eggs?
Seeing He Zhou stunned, Lu Xiaobai was also stunned, but the eye contact between the two was completely out of sync.
He Qin looked at the two round egg yolks in the bowl and looked up at Lu Xiaobai helplessly.
Lu Xiaobai didn't understand why, but that was something he didn't like. He felt a little guilty about giving it to He Qin, so he explained in a low voice: "Egg yolks are nutritious. You, you should eat more to replenish your body."
He Qin didn't move, nor did he answer Lu Xiaobai.
Lu Xiaobai's scalp tingled when he looked at her. After hesitating for a moment, he divided half of his egg white into He Qin's bowl and said, "Okay, stop looking. Let's eat. Let's finish the roasted sweet potatoes."
The weather is too cold. If you don’t eat it now, it will get cold.
Today they drank porridge, and everyone drank rice porridge. It was delicious and warm, and for the first time, Lu Xiaobai felt that such days were not so difficult.
He Qin ate the two egg yolks with a dark face, and suddenly felt that his position could no longer be consolidated.
The heavy rain continued to fall with no sign of letting up. Lu Xiaobai and He Zhou, two naive guys who had never experienced the world, were in a newly built shed, roasting fire, turning over sweet potatoes and chatting.
However, He Qin and Ling Yi were looking at the rain in deep thought.
"master."
Lingyi thought about it and decided to tell what he saw when he went out today.
"Grain production is low, and I went to several households to exchange for sweet potatoes. But every family was worried, saying that heavy rain in winter, coupled with thunder, was a bad omen for the coming year."
The grain production is already low, and now there is such an ominous omen. No one can be happy.
He Qin didn't say anything after hearing this, and turned around to look at Lu Xiaobai.
Lu Xiaobai was sitting on a small stool, warming himself by the fire. His face was red from the roasting. He had just turned his sweet potato over and said to He Zhou with a smile, "Yours is almost burnt."
"No way?"
He Zhou denied it, but still hurriedly turned his sweet potato over with a stick.
He Qin walked over and sat down, helping the two spoiled kids roast sweet potatoes.
Lu Xiaobai smiled and said, "Roast them well. We'll each give you a handful and a half later. Then you'll have a whole sweet potato to eat. It's the best deal."
He Qin: ...
With He Zhou around, He Qin didn't tease Lu Xiaobai as much and became a little taciturn. Lu Xiaobai was a little uncomfortable with it and always felt that He Qin didn't like him anymore.
If He Qin hadn't had the same attitude towards He Zhou, he might have cried again.
The three of them sat together by the fire, and the atmosphere became very subtle. He Zhou didn't know how to continue chatting with Lu Xiaobai, and Lu Xiaobai didn't dare to speak either.
Until He Zhou suddenly remembered something, turned to He Qin and said: "By the way, brother, didn't you have a conflict with the third brother last time? Well, after the third brother sent me here, it seems that he also asked Brother Feng An to come."
Hearing Feng An, He Qin's expression instantly turned disgusted: "What is he doing here?"
He Zhou was a little worried that his brother would get angry, so he whispered, "It seems, it seems like he said, he came to apologize to you and asked you to go back."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Xiaobai didn't understand at all. He looked at them curiously and asked, "What's the conflict between you two? Isn't He Qin the businessman who was robbed? And who is Feng An?"
He Zhou: ...
It’s over. He forgot that his sister-in-law was here. How should he answer now?
He Zhou looked at He Qin for help, but He Qin shook his head, signaling him not to answer.
He Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "This is hard to say, but Brother Feng An is also our brother, he's just not very nice. I estimate he will be here in two days. Brother Xiaobai, don't be afraid when the time comes, everything will be fine."
He Zhou had already made up his mind that he would leave here when Feng An arrived.
Anyway, his main purpose was to comfort He Qin, but now He Qin was living so well and happily that he didn't need him at all.
And Feng An had been in so much trouble, he didn't want to suffer here.
Moreover, he could use the excuse of playing at his brother's place to go somewhere else and go back after having enough fun outside.
Lu Xiaobai nodded. He was not afraid. As long as He Qin did not marry a second wife, he felt that he had nothing to be afraid of.
Isn’t it Feng An? From He Zhou’s tone, they should be a big family with many brothers and sisters, so he can’t be too stingy. He should show the generosity of a good sister-in-law and treat his younger brothers well.
Moreover, although He Qin didn't say it, it was probably because he was robbed by bandits during his business trip and was too embarrassed to go back to see his family, not because he couldn't go back as he said.
Look, people are coming to call him home.
Therefore, He Qin must have felt ashamed and embarrassed to go back.
Lu Xiaobai nodded, raised his hand and patted He Qin's shoulder to show that he understood.
He Qin looked at Lu Xiaobai in confusion, but Lu Xiaobai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be with you."
Everything will be fine next year. We can make a lot of money by selling the seeds. We won’t let you down or embarrass you.
He Qin was stunned when he heard Lu Xiaobai's words. At that moment, he didn't even want to figure out the specific meaning of Lu Xiaobai's words. Just this one sentence was enough to make him ecstatic.
"Um."
He Qin nodded expressionlessly, but in his heart he said word by word: This is a promise you made yourself. If you dare to back down at the critical moment, I will definitely tie you up and keep you by my side, and never let you go!
Listening to the conversation between the two, He Zhou was stunned. What was going on with Lu Xiaobai? Why was he not sad at all when Brother Feng An came over, but instead smiled so happily?
He Zhou didn't understand Lu Xiaobai's thoughts at all. He was completely confused and didn't dare to disturb his brother and sister-in-law's world of two. He ate sweet potatoes and roasted fire in silence.
The rain was still falling and the weather was too cold. For He Zhou, the fire made him feel warmer than the quilt.
But Lu Xiaobai was different. After he finished eating the sweet potatoes, he couldn't sit still for a while.
It was so boring. There was no TV, no mobile phone, and I didn't know what to talk about. I just stared at the fire in the pot.
Lu Xiaobai said that he felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
He sat upright for a while, then lay on He Qin's legs, then stood up and walked a few steps on the spot, and finally said helplessly: "He Qin, let's go to bed."
He Qin: ...
He Zhou: ...
Brother Xiaobai is so bold!
In broad daylight, she openly invited her husband to sleep with her.
He Zhou looked at Lu Xiaobai with admiration. Lu Xiaobai yawned and turned to ask him, "Zhou Zhou, are you going to sleep? Roasting by the fire is so boring."
Not only was I bored, I also fell asleep.
He Zhou quickly shook his head: "I'm not going. You guys go to sleep. It's quite warm here."
Lu Xiaobai didn't care whether He Qin agreed or not, he grabbed his hand and pulled him up: "Let's go, let's go to bed, I'm so sleepy."
He Qin looked up at Lu Xiaobai who was yawning, slowly stood up, and followed him to the bedroom.
When passing by the kitchen, Ling Si just brought out a bowl of soup, which was very fragrant.
Lu Xiaobai was so greedy that he quickly let go of He Qin and ran over, grabbing Ling Si's clothes and asked: "Brother Ling Si, what is this?" !!!
Ling Si was frightened by Lu Xiaobai and began to sweat on his forehead, fearing that Lu Xiaobai would drink the soup.
He was stunned for a moment and said, "This is the soup I made."
Ling Si has the best cooking skills and cooks the most delicious food. In this era, he is very tempting to Lu Xiaobai.
He sniffed and said, "It smells so good. What are you stewing? It's such a big bowl. Can you give me some?"
This was the pig whip used to butcher pigs a few days ago. He had prepared it for Ling Er, wanting to teach him a lesson. Now that Lu Xiaobai had come out to steal it, he couldn't refuse. He immediately felt unwell and stammered, "Uh, this, this isn't..."
Before Ling Si could finish his words, He Qin glared back at him. Ling Si had no choice but to carry the bowl into the house, divide the soup into two bowls, and place them in front of Lu Xiaobai and He Qin respectively.
He Qin didn't know what kind of soup it was, but Lu Xiaobai liked it, so he pushed his bowl to Lu Xiaobai.
Lu Xiaobai drank two bowls of wine contentedly, and his stomach was bloated and he kept burping, but it was raining heavily and He Qin couldn't take him for a walk.
Finally, Lu Xiaobai took He Qin back to the room to sleep.
Ling Si wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and went to wash the dishes silently.
After washing the dishes, Lingsi also walked towards the brazier, intending to warm his hands as they were too cold.
He Zhou was sitting huddled beside the brazier. He was afraid of the cold and always felt that the fire was not strong enough. Seeing Ling Si coming, he subconsciously said, "Doctor Pei, quickly bring some more dry firewood."
"……yes."
It had been a long time since anyone called him like this. Ling Si was stunned for a moment, then he immediately turned around to get the firewood after he realized what was happening.
Ling Si brought the firewood over and just as he put it into the basin, He Zhou asked in a low voice: "Doctor Pei, what kind of soup did you just give the emperor's sister-in-law?"
Zero Four: "...pig whip soup, strong..."
"Don't say anymore, I know."
He Zhou interrupted him before he could finish and said with a smile: "Doctor Pei, dinner will be prepared later tonight, but I am cold, so you can light a fire."
"yes."
Ling Si knew He Zhou's physical condition and quickly got up to light the fire.
However, Lu Xiaobai was not so comfortable sleeping in Hou Heqin's arms. He didn't know what was going on. It was so cold today, but now he felt a little hot, and a little panicked in his heart, and couldn't sleep!
Lu Xiaobai helplessly put his hands outside the quilt, but soon felt cold again.
He turned over angrily, moved forward a little dissatisfiedly and said, "He Qin, don't get too close to me, I feel uncomfortable."
He Qin: ...
Doesn't that make him feel uncomfortable?
However, worried that Lu Xiaobai was not feeling well, He Qin frowned and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
“It’s uncomfortable everywhere.”
Lu Xiaobai pouted, grabbed a handful of clothes, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes: "I don't know how to say it, I just feel uncomfortable."
He Qin thought he was sick, so he immediately stood up and wanted to ask Ling Si to take his pulse, but he found something wrong as soon as he stood up.
He Qin lowered his head and saw Lu Xiaobai's hazy eyes. He asked in a low voice: "What are you doing..."
