Chapter 149

Pears quench their thirst and moisturise dryness. Whether they are eaten raw or cooked, they are very beneficial. Shen Yan held the pears and let Ji Qiuyue, who was breastfeeding her baby, take a bite.

Ji Qiuyue couldn’t open her hands, and when she saw that her sister wanted to eat again, after a small taste, she smiled and said, “Hurry up and eat it, don’t worry about me, I’m not thirsty or hungry at the moment, so why eat this.”

Shen Yan smiled, picked up the pear and took a big bite, it was sweet and crisp, and she said vaguely: “Then sister-in-law wait for the roast chicken, the second brother bought one, it smells good, just a little bit. It’s cold, and my mother said that it will be hot when you have lunch later.”

“Okay.” Ji Qiuyue agreed, seeing that the child in her arms did not eat, she buckled the front of her clothes with one hand, patted Zhao’er again, and put it in the center of the bed when he fell asleep, and covered the quilt with long pillows on both sides. blocked.

The two of them walked out of the room quietly, so as not to wake Zhao’er.

As soon as they came out, they saw Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang choosing vegetables in the courtyard. Wei Lanxiang lowered her voice and asked, “Are you asleep?”

“Sleep.” Ji Qiuyue nodded.

“We Zhao’er have become more obedient recently. Knowing that the adults are going to eat, I went to sleep by myself.” When Wei Lanxiang talked about her eldest grandson, her face was full of smiles. Inside and out, her eldest grandson was well-behaved and sensible. .

Lu Gu frowned and didn’t speak. He took the small bamboo plaque and fished out all the vegetables in the wooden basin, and his hands were full of water.

Because he was thinking about roast chicken, he was rubbing his head against his calf. His hands were wet, so he nudged him slightly with his legs, and whispered, “Go play, I’ll feed you later. .”

Da Hui and the others are all watching the house in the new house, only the good boy is whining in the courtyard, but after a while, seeing that Lu Gu didn’t want to feed it, he stopped barking and pulled from the corner of the firewood pile. Played that old Cuju ball, but obviously not very interested.

As soon as Zhao’er went to bed, Ji Qiuyue’s meal was much more brisk, and she didn’t need to coax the child.

There were only two chicken legs. Lu Gu thought that he had eaten the mixed braised soup, so he did not compete with his family. One Wei Lanxiang ate it, and the other Ji Qiuyue ate it.

The chicken breast meat has no bones, the meat is thick, and it is very fragrant with a chopstick.

He and Shen Xuanqing had already had a meal in the morning, and now they eat less. The good boy is pulling his calf with his claws, but the roast chicken is bought with money, which is different from the pheasant and the hare. Besides, everyone in the family is there. , Under the eyes of the public, Lu Gu couldn’t give it a chopstick.

Fortunately, Wei Lanxiang and Ji Qiuyue, who had eaten the chicken legs, gave it the bones.

Ji Qiuyue had some meat left on the chicken thigh bone. Wei Lanxiang saw it. She wanted to say why she didn’t finish eating it. Wouldn’t it be a pity to throw it to the dog, but she didn’t say it. Heroes, naturally it’s hard to say.

Ji Qiuyue likes it a little bit, and thinks it’s okay to give a dog half a mouthful of meat.

Lu Gu was burying his head in eating rice, and today he was steaming new rice, but it was fragrant, but he didn’t see the eyes of other people.

After eating, Shen Xuanqing gave Wei Lanxiang five taels of silver, and he was so happy that Wei Lanxiang couldn’t close his mouth, so there was no hesitation when eating.

“Run back and forth, go and rest.” She said to Shen Xuanqing, then glanced at Lu Gu who was going out with a wooden basin to wash the pot of water, and said, “Gu Zi also take a break, I’m tired from running after. ”

Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, “I know mother.”

Wei Lanxiang happily went into the room and hid the money. She is old now. Although she still has the strength to work, she is not as good as a man. Fortunately, her two sons are filial, and they will give her any amount of money. I have to save myself a little coffin book, so that I don’t have anything when I die.

After Lu Gu finished tidying up the kitchen, he washed his hands and went into the house to wipe the hand ointment. He always felt that brushing the pot of water would make his hands a little greasy. The hand ointment was so expensive and spent a lot of money to buy it. They will use wild bath beads to wash their hands clean, otherwise it would be a waste of good things.

Seeing Shen Xuanqing put the silver on the table, forty taels, he couldn’t help but smile just by looking at it.

“So happy.” Seeing him smile, Shen Xuanqing’s eyes were also filled with a smile, and he took two silver ingots of five taels from them, and motioned for Lu Gu, who was applying the hand ointment, to come over.

The heavy silver ingot in his palm made Lu Gu smile even more.

“Save the rest, and if you want to buy land in the future, you will have money.” Shen Xuanqing put the remaining 32 taels into a purse, and the purse in his hand also contained 80 taels of silver that he had saved earlier. , I haven’t touched it all the time. I usually spend scattered money. Now it’s one hundred and twelve.

Lu Gu knew that there were no copper plates in the purse, but whole ingots of silver.

Shen Xuanqing said that it was their family property, which was rarely used except when they bought land and built a house before, and apart from the two of them, no one in the family knew where the money bag was hidden or how many silver taels were in it.

Holding the silver in his hand, Lu Gu’s brows and eyes twitched. After Shen Xuanqing tightened the opening of the purse, he looked up and saw that he was still silly. He couldn’t help reaching out and rubbing Lu Gu’s hair. I’m so happy, I’ll give you twenty taels next time, just buy whatever you want, you don’t have to be frugal.”

Speaking of which, he has never seen Lu Gu say that he wants to buy anything. In addition to the housework, he has to do some embroidery every day. Those handkerchiefs, fans, etc., although they can be sold for a little money, he said: ” I’m usually tired from work, so I don’t need to do embroidery work anymore, I’ll give you enough money for this.”

For Shen Xuanqing, earning money is to support his husband, and he will have to raise children in the future. Since he can earn money, there is no need for Lu Gu to work hard.

Speaking of embroidery, Lu Gu looked up at him. If it was normal, he would definitely nod along with Shen Xuanqing’s words, but he didn’t at the moment.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Xuanqing was puzzled.

Lu Gu hesitated, and said in a low voice, “I’m not tired, I’ll make needlework when I have time.”

Shen Xuanqing was a little surprised, he didn’t say anything, he just watched Lu Gu signal for him to continue.

“There are not many flowers on the handkerchief. I can make it. No matter how bad it is, I can make one in two or three days. I don’t earn much money, but I like it.” Lu Gu’s voice was small.

His brain is stupid and he has no other skills since he was a child. His mother taught him to embroider with one hand. When he was a child, even his mother praised him for being smart. Things, but just relying on what I have learned is enough to earn a little copper to subsidize the family.

Of course, Du Hehua didn’t give him a single penny of the money he earned before, but when he came to Shen’s house, how much did he sell for how many handkerchiefs he embroidered?

In the past, when he was doing embroidery work, he was afraid of being beaten and scolded, so he kept his head down and didn’t dare to speak. Of course, embroidering things was no fun at all. After arriving at the Shen’s house last year, he gradually picked up the joy and satisfaction of needlework in the past.

And whether Wei Lanxiang or Ji Qiuyue, always praised the things he embroidered, which made him even more happy.

“Like it?” Shen Xuanqing murmured, he really didn’t expect this.

“Yeah.” Lu Gu nodded earnestly, and then emphasized in a low voice, “I like doing embroidery.”

Joy and disgust, Shen Xuanqing had never heard it in his husband’s mouth before, and now he was in a daze, and after smacking it, he laughed and said, “If you like it, then do it, I won’t hinder you.”

“It’s just that I didn’t think carefully.” He smiled and admitted his mistake, seeing Lu Gu’s brows becoming more lively and happy again, he couldn’t help pulling him into his arms and hugging him.

The back of his neck was rubbed, but Lu Gu did not resist. The door was closed, the windows were half-open and half-closed, and no one was walking around in the courtyard. He hugged Shen Xuanqing back, very happy.

Once a person is happy, and he is facing the person closest to him, he will talk more.

Lu Gu buried his face in Shen Xuanqing’s arms and quietly rubbed it twice, thinking that he was hiding from the sky, but he didn’t know that it all fell into Shen Xuanqing’s eyes.

He raised his eyes again and said, “I earn a little by myself, although it’s not much, but it’s also an income. If I save up to ten wen or eight, it’s enough to buy some small odds and ends. This is what my mother did when I was a child. She has The money will be bought for me to eat and play, so I don’t have to ask my father for it.”

“My mother taught me to embroider, and said that I can make money by myself in the future, and I don’t need to look at other people’s faces.” When he was happy, he said everything.

In fact, he didn’t understand the words his mother taught him when he was a child. When he grew up, he was still ignorant in the Lu family, but he gradually realized it after he arrived at the Shen family.

Besides, he is also happy to earn money. No matter how little money he has, he embroiders it stitch by stitch, and earns very solidly.

This made Shen Xuanqing unhappy. He raised his hand and pinched Lu Gu’s face, rather unhappy, and asked, “Could it be that I am the same as your father? If you don’t ask me for it, I will naturally give it to you. Why do you still look at my face? What kind of face do I have?”

Lu Gu was dumbfounded, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed the case, not to mention that when he made a lot of money, if there was less copper in his small purse, if Shen Xuanqing saw it, he would have made up for it.

He looked embarrassed, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, so he didn’t dare to speak again.

Seeing this, Shen Xuanqing felt more and more unhappy in his heart. He touched the back of Lu Gu’s neck and pinched it, trying to “vent his anger”, but he was reluctant to exert his strength. In the end, he lowered his head and bit Lu Gu’s cheek.

Lu Gu subconsciously wanted to step back, but his waist was bound and he couldn’t move. He could only frown and wait for the person who bit him to let go.

Shen Xuanqing was indignant, he let go of his teeth after biting, and instead gave Lu Gu a ruthless kiss.

Lu Gu still couldn’t step back, so he could only wipe his cheeks with his sleeves with a frown. During the day, Shen Xuanqing would bite him, what should he do if he was found out when he went out.

He was very afraid of being found this kind of intimacy, and he was very worried. After a pause, he couldn’t help but complain in a low voice: “Good boys don’t bite.”

Shen Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, but when he reacted, he was angry and funny. Their Guzi could actually scold people. He pinched the back of Lu Gu’s neck and asked, “Are you saying that I’m not even better than a dog?”

Lu Gu couldn’t help laughing, his eyes were sparkling, and he whispered in denial, “No, no.”

However, his denial was not enough at all, which made Shen Xuanqing more and more “annoyed”.

Lu Gu, who wanted to justify it again, was kissed and could no longer speak.

The livestock on the Xinzhaizi side had to be fed. He Zhi and Chen Dongdong had to dry the grass they plucked, so they had to bring the fresh grass themselves. Duck.

Lu Gu sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at his mouth and cheeks. After confirming that there were no tooth marks on his face and that his mouth was not too red, he was relieved. At least he could go out to work.
