Chapter 85 You're in a real trouble
Wei Zhao glanced at her calmly: "Take your hand away."
Yu Tingwan was very easy to talk to, and she retracted her hand little by little.
Then she watched Wei Zhao close the window.
There was a 'bang', not light or heavy.
Yu Tingwan blinked thoughtfully.
She walked forward in silence.
But a moment later, Wei Zhao saw someone sticking his head out from the half-open door.
Then he walked into the house.
The girl was wearing the simplest cotton-padded jacket, but the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye outlined a little bit of brilliance.
Yu Tingwan used long-nosed pliers to stir the charcoal fire in the basin to make it burn more vigorously, and then came to Wei Zhao.
She raised her hand.
She didn't hit him.
Instead, she grasped the man's hand.
Sure enough, it was cold.
Wei Zhao seemed to be unable to warm up.
Yu Tingwan frowned: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Wei Zhao:?
Yu Tingwan: "It's cold outside and the wind is strong at night. You should have closed the window earlier."
She was helpless about this.
"How can my husband only care about talking to me and not take care of his body? You close the door when you can't stand it anymore?"
She said softly: "Don't do it next time. I won't blame you."
Wei Zhao: ? ?
Yu Tingwan: "Fortunately, you married me. If it was another girl, there would be misunderstandings."
She began to spare no effort to improve her favorability.
"It shows that I am generous."
"I understand you."
"You are really in trouble."
Wei Zhao: ...
No, he is in trouble.
"Let go."
Yu Tingwan didn't let go.
She took the opportunity to touch him.
Anyway, she was very satisfied!
"Can I..."
The words were not finished.
"No."
Yu Tingwan was puzzled: "I haven't said it yet."
She was particularly serious: "Can I sleep with you on the same pillow at night? I will be careful and will not tear your wound."
"You are afraid of cold, we can keep each other warm by staying close together."
After that, the girl looked forward to Wei Zhao's reply.
Wei Zhao still said the same two words: "No."
Yu Tingwan didn't understand.
She couldn't figure it out!
"The old man Zhou and matchmaker Liu only have one pillow! How come we can't make it?"
Wei Zhao's eyes flashed with disgust: "You compare us with them?"
Yu Tingwan reacted.
"Yes."
"I don't call you dad."
Then she was pushed out of the house by Wei Zhao.
Yu Tingwan watched the door being closed.
But a generous daughter-in-law like her would not care!
She turned her head to work: "Mom, I'll help you."
Yu Tingwan untied the yoke on the cow's neck and separated the cart board from him.
Hui Niang and Yue Shan simply built a fence with wood in the corner of the yard, and threw a lot of straw in it for the old cow to live.
Wei Zhao in the house leaned against the door, staying quietly, his eyes half closed, without any other movements.
His head was still dizzy, his body had no strength, and his breathing was a little dull.
Even if he had eaten this wild ginseng and ganoderma lucidum these days, there was an effect, and his pulse was beating stronger than before.
But it still hurts everywhere, and it's not comfortable everywhere.
He was thin, pale, and still felt broken. He stood there for a long, long time,
listening to the voice outside.
It was her voice.
"Mom, I see there are pumpkins in our cellar. Let's cut them tomorrow."
Hui Niang: "Do you want to eat pumpkin?"
Yu Tingwan: "That's not the case. I want to eat pumpkin seeds."
Fried and crispy, it is so delicious to eat in winter.
"Okay, I'll make it for you."
After a while, the girl spoke again.
This time, she deliberately lowered her voice.
But Wei Zhao had good hearing and heard every word.
"Mom, your son has a bad temper."
Hui Niang hesitated: "...That's it. What's the matter, did Alang bully you?"
Yu Tingwan: "Yeah."
She said: "But I will give in to him."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked intermittently.
Obviously, it should be noisy, but Wei Zhao's heart was particularly peaceful.
At this moment, he did not have the pressure of being the heir of Shunguo Mansion, nor the tension of worrying about the safety of soldiers on the battlefield. He did not want to die after being hit. I don't
know if it was because the lights in the house were soft, or if he thought of something, a fleeting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had gathered the moon, and the light flowed.
It was also particularly rare, and it made him look like an imperceptible worldly life.
————
It was hazy, and Yu Tingwan was sleeping soundly.
But someone had already knocked on the Wei family's door.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Yu Tingwan woke up in a daze, put on her cotton clothes and walked out, and saw Hui Niang also coming out of the house.
Hui Niang's eyes flashed with surprise: "Maybe your father is back."
She hurried to open the door.
It was not Wei Shouzhong.
It was Chang Shu.
Chang Shu smiled when he saw her.
"Aunt, great news!"
Joy?
Chang Shu: "My father just received news from Liu'an City that their prefect Zhu is coming to our place, to the town."
Yu Tingwan behind him suddenly woke up and asked anxiously: "When will they come?"
"I estimate that they will arrive at noon."
Chang Shu: "Our village is remote, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. The mountain road leading to the town is probably knee-high. The stone path is extremely slippery when the ice and snow freeze. The road is long and I am afraid that people will die if they walk on it."
These days, the sun is shining, but it is still far from being passable.
I thought that if I delay it day by day, Wei Shen might not be able to afford it.
But now it is different.
Chang Shu: "In a few days, the coffin of General Wei will be sent to Ze County."
He revealed: "I heard that the emperor sent the fifth prince and many high officials to take General Wei's body back."
"The prefects and county officials of several nearby cities can't sit still, and they are rushing to Ze County. They probably want to show their faces in front of those nobles in Shangjing."
Hui Niang was a little confused: "Ah? Isn't the road closed?"
Even without Chang Shu's reminder, Yu Tingwan said with a tone of surprise that could not be hidden.
"Mother, there are only two roads from Liu'an City to Ze County, one of which requires crossing a bridge, but the bridge collapsed years ago. I don't know if the money allocated by the court was embezzled by the upper level, or it was passed down layer by layer. The people who handled it took some that was not enough to repair the road, and they have been delaying the construction. It has become a must-go road here."
Chang Shu:...
Although you are right, it is too bold.
This is a poor place, not a prosperous area, and the roads cannot be connected in all directions.
If Prefect Zhu is willing to take a long detour, he can also go to Ze County.
But... General Wei's coffin had already been taken away by then, and he couldn't catch up.
As for how the prefect Zhu led the county officials under his jurisdiction to cross the mountain road.
Of course, they had their own ways.
Whether it was spreading coarse salt to clear the way or asking his subordinates to clear the way with shovels in advance, there were always people willing to waste money and manpower to think of various ways.
These were things that ordinary people couldn't do.
Yu Tingwan smiled at Chang Shu: "Thanks to you for making this trip. Let me say thank you to the head of the village."
"Don't leave in a hurry. Take the persimmons with you. The house needs to be cleaned up, so I won't go to see my mother-in-law."
Wei Zhao in the room heard the girl's laughter was particularly happy.
"Mom, let's pack up and follow the prefect from a distance to take my husband to treat his illness."
