Xue Zhi entered the room, poured tea for Zheng Xiu attentively, and brought it to the kang.
After Zheng Xiu asked Minghui about it, she asked her to go downstairs to wash and change clothes. Minghui
had been sweating in Changfeng Garden. She didn't feel anything just now. She walked back to Haoye Hall quickly. She felt cold in the cold wind and felt better after drinking hot tea. At this time, she thanked him, bowed, and left.
Xue Zhi brought the colorful glass plate with preserved fruits and candied fruits on the table over, picked up an apricot and fed it to Zheng Xiu's mouth.
Zheng Xiu tilted her head and opened her mouth to eat from his hand. Xue Zhi smiled and took his finger to his mouth and kissed it.
Zheng Xiu blushed and spit at him again.
Xue Zhi chuckled and didn't take it seriously, "Okay Ah Xiu, don't be angry, I was really wrong about what happened yesterday."
"It's good that you know you're wrong. I wonder if you dare to do it again next time."
Next time? There must be a next time! He was thinking more than that. Xue Zhi just smiled and didn't say anything.
After all this trouble, it was almost time for lunch, and Xue Shao came back from the front.
Zheng Xiu started to let the maid prepare lunch. Xue Shao had to study every day now, and Zheng Xiu wanted to nourish him well, so she asked the kitchen to cook a fish dish every day.
But Xue Zhi and Xue Shao didn't like fish. It's not that they couldn't stand the smell of fish, but they thought it was too troublesome to spit out the bones after eating fish.
Therefore, Zheng Xiu asked Bai Zhu to bring the fish over in advance these days. She picked out the fish bones with chopsticks and put them back on the stove in the small kitchen to keep warm, so that Xue Shao could eat them as soon as he came back.
Xue Zhi followed her around very attentively that day. Seeing her picking out the bones patiently with chopsticks, he said, "Why are you taking so much trouble? Just let the people in the kitchen do it."
Zheng Xiu said, "I'm free anyway, so it's nothing to do a little work. Besides, the people in the kitchen are not as careful as I am. You two always eat without eating, and you will be choked by fish bones later."
Xue Zhi calmed down and tilted his head to watch her pick the fish slowly. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He didn't know how he got the blessing to find such a gentle and beautiful wife.
Zheng Xiu felt embarrassed by his staring at her. She stared at her helplessly and said, "What are you looking at? I can't concentrate."
Xue Zhi was afraid that Zheng Xiu would chase him out again, so he said, "You choose, I won't look." Then he turned his head away.
The two sat next to each other at the table, but he turned his head away deliberately, which made Zheng Xiu feel very awkward.
Why in the ancient novels I read before, those men were always busy outside or in the front yard, and rarely came to the backyard? Xue Zhi was just the opposite. He seemed to want to sew on her trouser belt.
Zheng Xiu's men were busy all the time, and asked: "You will be on duty after the New Year, right? Don't you have anything to prepare in advance?"
Xue Zhi said: "Nothing to prepare, it's not like A Shao has to sew a small schoolbag in advance, just take someone with you."
"Then you don't have anything to be busy with? Official business or personal relationships."
"I haven't been on duty yet, so I don't have any official business to be busy with. There's nothing to do about personal relationships either." Xue Zhi thought for a while, "But yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to greet me, and said that if I have nothing to do, I can go to the East Palace more often."
"Your Highness?" Zheng Xiu put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Why don't you go when the prince asks you to go?"
Xue Zhi said seriously, "Didn't he say that I can go to the East Palace if I have nothing to do? My injury hasn't healed yet, so I just want to stay at home." Home is not as good as outside, especially with his wife at home! He feels that he doesn't have to do anything at home, just looking at Zheng Xiu every day is exhausting.
Zheng Xiu was speechless when she saw Xue Zhi's shameless look. He didn't say he was recovering from his injury, but was just making excuses to be lazy.
"It's so boring at home. I'm at home every day, it's just... Alas." Zheng Xiu sighed as she spoke. Otherwise, the palace and the wealthy families have the most intrigues. People are just idle.
Xue Zhi suddenly thought of something and smiled wickedly, "You feel bored?"
Zheng Xiu nodded.
"How about... let's raise a child to play with?"
Now this man really speaks nonsense! Zheng Xiu glanced at him unhappily, "Raise what to play with?"
"Uh... I mean, raise a monkey. Yes, do you like to watch monkey shows? How about I ask someone to find a monkey trainer to see?" Xue Zhi finally continued the conversation, "If you like, I'll ask someone to invite a variety show troupe or a drama troupe." "Forget about the drama troupe,
it's very noisy."
"What about the variety show troupe?"
"If it's not troublesome, then invite one." Zheng Xiu was indeed bored and wicked.
"Okay." Xue Zhi smiled, "I'll ask someone to prepare it."
Zheng Xiu said with a smile, "Why are you happier than me?"
Xue Zhi couldn't explain it. Anyway, he was happy to work for Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu did what she said, and asked someone to inquire about the famous variety show troupes in the capital that night.
However, as the New Year is approaching, many families will invite variety shows or opera troupes to their homes to have fun, and the schedules of the famous variety shows are all full. Fortunately, the Duke of Qing's Mansion is big enough to use their connections to get in the way.
It happened that two days later was the day when Xue Shao and Xue Mian were on vacation, so the date was set on that day.
However, because of the extra time, the troupe only had time for the first half of the day, and they had to rush to the next house in the second half.
Xue Shao was so happy that he couldn't sleep the night before.
He was now familiar with the mansion of Duke Qing, and he no longer had to sleep in the green gauze closet in the main house of Zheng Xiu, but in the guest room.
Xue Mian also heard about this and was counting the days.
Fearing that his mother would not let him come, he simply ran to Xue Zhi the day before and begged him to let him sleep in Haoye Hall for one night.
Xue Zhi agreed and asked someone to tell Princess Guihe.
Princess Guihe was naturally unhappy. Xue Mian had been too close to Hao Yetang recently. Although he did not have classes with Xue Shao, they were in the study room in front and could see each other several times every day. Their relationship was quite harmonious.
Xue Qin happened to be nearby and advised: "The New Year is coming soon. Ah Mian has been taking classes from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Mother should let him relax. As he grows older, these days of relaxation will become less and less."
Actually, Princess Guihe was not the only one who got used to Xue Mian's temperament. Xue Qin also helped a lot. He grew up as the prince of the Duke of Qing's mansion, and there was no man who could take up the responsibility in his family, so the burden on him can be imagined. It can be said that since he was conscious, he has never had a happy and innocent childhood. Since
