Chapter 161 Coexisting in the same room(1/2)
"Let people keep an eye on Ning Shunhou." Shen Qiuhe always felt that something was wrong with Ningshun Hou.
When they got married, Shen Qiuhe suddenly noticed that Ningshun Hou had lost a lot of weight and his face was dark. Shen Qiuhe thought at that time that Ningshun Hou was probably sick.
But today I heard from Marquis Ning Shun that it was abnormal for him to leave the house.
If you are sick, you can just recuperate at home. Why does the noble Lord need to cover it up?
That's all. While eating, Shen Qiuhe saw that something was wrong with Ning Shunhou's hands. His nails were dark, like someone who had been doing farm work for a long time. He often dealt with soil and could not wash his hands back to their original appearance. Already.
But no matter what, it has nothing to do with Ning Shunhou.
Marquis Ningshun was not an important official, so he would not be implicated in the fight between various factions. Shen Qiuhe could not figure out what secrets Ningshun Marquis had, so he could only send Wang Si to investigate. .
Just as the explanation was finished, we arrived at Qiao Guxin's courtyard. The people waiting below bowed down and naturally did not block the door.
Hearing the commotion in the yard while chanting rosary beads and incense, he immediately stood guard at the door and said, "If I go back to my uncle, the girl has already rested."
Shen Qiuhe hummed, but had no intention of stopping, but the rosary and incense stopped at the door. Shen Qiuhe's eyes were like arrows, and he stabbed at the two of them coldly, "Why, you want me to stay in the Hou Mansion?" , teach you a lesson? "
He and Qiao Guxin did not consummate their marriage, but so what, after all, he was always Qiao Guxin's husband.
"My aunt, please forgive me." She was about to say something while reciting rosary beads and incense, but Shen Qiuhe opened the door directly and went in.
They were not good at all, so they grabbed Shen Qiuhe's arm and pulled him out.
When he wanted to go in, Shen Qiuhe had already locked the door behind his back.
Because Qiao Guxin wanted to rest, the room was darkened. Shen Qiuhe walked forward and suddenly stopped when he saw Qiao Guxin collapsed.
Then he smiled, but didn't go any further. He just found a chair next to him and sat on it.
He casually picked up Qiao Guxin's note and read it carefully.
This is the travel note that Qiao Guxin polished for Qiao Xunfeng before. The bookstore sent the original over. Shen Qiuhe naturally recognized Qiao Guxin's handwriting. In his previous life, Qiao Guxin was very quiet, so Shen Qiuhe would often see her writing alone. Writing and drawing.
But he shook his head secretly, Qiao Guxin had practiced handwriting for so many years but had not improved. Look at what he writes now, it is no different from what he wrote more than ten years later.
However, Qiao Guxin's literary talent amazed Shen Qiuhe, especially compared with the original, it became even more obvious.
Time passed quickly, and Qiao Gu felt really tired. He slept peacefully. When he opened his eyes, the sky was dark, and the candle next to him flickered, giving off a dim light.
Qiao Guxin rubbed his eyebrows, wondering what time it was now?
"Finally woke up?" Looking at the collapsed Qiao Guxin, Shen Qiuhe threw the note aside casually. After reading it for an afternoon, he was tired and it was time to take a rest.
Suddenly Shen Qiuhe's voice came, and Qiao Guxin sat up with excitement, and then looked at Shen Qiuhe warily, "Why are you here?"
"I'm tired. If I don't rest in your room, where should I be?" Shen Qiuhe asked casually.
Then he stood up and opened the door. Gu had already sent people over to check on him several times, but was stopped by Shen Qiuhe. He decided to let Qiao Guxin rest, as he had probably been waiting outside for a long time.
As soon as the door opened, rosary beads and incense almost rushed in. Seeing that Qiao Guxin's face was as usual and the room was just as before, they felt relieved and the two of them immediately knelt down and saluted.
"Okay, hurry up and get your master dressed. It's getting late." It's already past the time to return to the Duke's mansion. If we delay any longer, it's likely that the road will be even worse.
When Mrs. Gu knew that Qiao Guxin had woken up, she immediately asked someone to put the meal that had been prepared in advance in the food box. It was already this hour, and it was against the rules to leave people to eat, but Mrs. Gu was also afraid that Qiao Guxin would be hungry. After that, they prepared the food in the food box, so that they could eat at least two bites on the way.
Looking at the two full food boxes, Shen Qiuhe's eyes flashed slightly, "It's already too late. It will be just a moment and a half later."
It was originally delivered by Aunt Jin herself, but when she heard what her uncle said, her face was naturally filled with joy, and she quickly brought the food out. Eating at home is better than eating out, so it is more comfortable.
Then he urged Qiao Guxin to recite the rosary and recite incense quickly, so that Qiao Guxin could comb her hair quickly so that Shen Qiuhe would not be anxious while waiting.
They had been married for three days, but this was the first time they had eaten alone.
Because they were still newlyweds, the bowls and chopsticks used by the newlyweds were specially prepared by Gu Anrang. The bowls were white, with bright red characters for "happy" painted on the outside, and even the chopsticks were dyed red.
Aunt Jin was waiting for the two of them. After the two masters finished their meal, she said with a smile, "I didn't expect that my uncle and my eldest daughter have similar tastes."
The dishes that two people like to eat are mostly the same.
Shen Qiuhe glanced at Qiao Guxin and said, "Probably, this is fate."
Seeing that Shen Qiuhe was willing to accommodate Qiao's heart, Aunt Jin was naturally happy. When it came to this fate, she couldn't help but said, "No, our girls have gradually changed their tastes. When we were young, we didn't Love eating these.”
"Mommy." Qiao Guxin stood up immediately, "It's already dark. I'm afraid the way back will be difficult, so I won't delay."
Pretending to be unintentional, I interrupted my grandma.
I don’t want to recall those days when I had to change, and I don’t want to face the fact that my habit was so terrible.
Grandma Jin didn't think much about it, and then nodded and asked someone to light more lamps to illuminate the road brightly.
The carriages had already started moving, and Qiao Guxin even raised the curtain, reluctantly waving goodbye to the people in the Marquis' mansion.
It wasn't until the Hou Mansion was gradually lost to sight and the lights in the Hou Mansion became blurry that Qiao Guxin lowered the curtain.
The previous smile was no longer on his face. When he looked at Shen Qiuhe, he was completely indifferent, "Master Shen, why would you harm me like this?"
The sudden accusation made Shen Qiuhe's face darken. He asked himself that his performance in the Hou Mansion today was very good. It could be said that he had given Qiao Guxin enough face as his wife, but he didn't want to be betrayed by Qiao Guxin when no one was around. Xin was scolding him like this, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it clearly."
In this case, Qiao Guxin simply sat upright and said, "My mother is the most polite. I think if Master Shen hadn't stopped me, someone would have woken me up this afternoon, instead of delaying the time now."
What Qiao Guxin said is certainly correct.
"You are going back to my house. I don't care about the time. What do you care about?" Shen Qiuhe replied angrily. He was originally just kind-hearted, but now he has become a mistake.
Of course, Shen Qiuhe would not say that he stayed in the Hou Mansion for a few more hours not only because of Qiao's old intentions, but because in the Hou Mansion, he could be quieter and there would be less things in front of his ears. .
Oh?
Qiao Guxin sneered, "Do you need me to elaborate on whether Mr. Shen is really confused or fake? What is your father's character like?"
Shen Qiuhe really didn't think much about this. When he came back, he saw Qiao Guxin sleeping soundly, so Shen Qiuhe made the decision to let her sleep a little longer. Shen Qiuhe only thought that he was now Qiao Guxin's husband can definitely make the decision on this little matter.
As for He, the big deal is the same as before, just say a few words.
But Qiao Guxin took the initiative to bring it up and looked like he was in trouble, which made Shen Qiuhe very uncomfortable.
He was already married, so why did his mother still keep an eye on him so closely?
"This matter was done by me alone. County Lord, you don't have to worry that trouble will happen to you." Shen Qiuhe replied angrily.
Qiao Guxin rolled her eyes at Shen Qiuhe, "I hope so."
But that look was telling Shen Qiuhe that he was more likely to fail than succeed!
Originally, the carriage was dark, and a man and a woman should be alone in a room of warmth, but now there are only two eyes that are boring to watch, and even this journey seems extraordinarily long.
We finally arrived at the Duke's Mansion, and this time we changed to the carriage that Shen Qiuhe got off first.
When I left, I no longer cared about the clothes I carefully selected.
The lights in the Duke's Mansion were brightly lit, and everyone walked in. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Nanny Lu, "Second Young Master, Second Young Madam." She stood in the middle of the road, bending her knees slightly, "Old Madam, I'm waiting for you two."
Shen Qiuhe didn't look back, but he seemed to be able to think of Qiao Guxin's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
His expression immediately turned bad, but he didn't care about the servant and nodded, "Okay."
As if he had never argued with Qiao Guxin just now, He came to look for him and just asked if it was going well when he returned home?
Soon we arrived at Mr. He's yard. At this moment, Mr. He was sitting in the main seat, wearing only his favorite regular clothes for a few days. He was holding his forehead with his hands and looking unhappy.
Grandma Lu opened the curtain and invited the two masters to come in. Then she stood behind Mr. He, raised her hand and gently squeezed Mr. He's shoulder.
"Mother." Shen Qiuhe and Qiao Guxin greeted each other at the same time.
He's eyes were closed. After hearing their voices, he slowly opened them, sat up straight, and sneered when he opened his mouth, "Are you willing to come back?"
This tone is obviously very wrong.
Shen Qiuhe raised his hand to edit, "To tell my mother, my son was tired. He rested for a while and came back later."
Mrs. He hummed, then her eyes fell on Qiao Guxin, and then she slammed the tea cup next to her to the ground, "Ms. Qiao, kneel down!"
Inexplicably, he was angry at Qiao Gu.
As soon as Grandma Lu's hand stopped, she waved her hand and asked the maid to take the prepared futon and place it in front of Qiao Guxin.
When Rosary saw the happy day when he returned home, He was inexplicably angry at Qiao Gu. What was this?
But as soon as she took a step forward, she was pulled back by Nianxiang. It wasn't that Nianxiang didn't protect the master, it was just that the posture in front of her was very wrong. One of their servants stepped forward rashly, fearing that it would give Qiao Guanxin. Adding more trouble.
Maybe, if Qiao Guxin didn't say those words on the carriage, Shen Qiuhe would let Qiao Guxin kneel down and explain the matter clearly.
But at this moment, Shen Qiuhe's arm stopped in front of Qiao Guxin, "Mother and son have already said that the son did this alone. Why is mother making things difficult for the bride?"
And in front of so many people, it was very embarrassing for Qiao Gu.
"Making things difficult?" Mr. He suddenly raised his voice, "Ms. Qiao, you are really very resourceful. The son I raised is yours!"
He asked me harshly and harshly. Is this really outrageous?
He stared at Qiao Guxin coldly, "It's your duty to serve your husband. If your husband does something wrong, it's your fault if you don't remind him! Rest at your mother's house, Qiao Guxin, your palace is not After all, our government cannot afford to lose this person!"
Originally, there was a custom that a married daughter could not have sex with her husband in her natal home.
There is a saying that it is better to borrow someone to stop the funeral than to allow someone to sleep with her. This means that once a married daughter performs the ceremony of Duke Zhou in her natal family, her family will be in bad luck.
When the old man came to rest, he must have been with the girl, but as everyone knows, two people just close their clothes and close their eyes, and simply sleep together.
Qiao Wenqing didn't understand what was going on here, and didn't care that they were newlyweds. He just felt that they should be together after getting married, so he sent Shen Qiuhe directly to Qiao Guxin.
Of course Mrs. Gu understood this, but Qiao Gu knew this custom in her heart. Mrs. Gu believed that her daughter acted appropriately, so she just followed Shen Qiuhe.
