Chapter 157 Heart is as sweet as honey

Author: Lian Xiaoai

The children were well-behaved and well-behaved. Although they were very interested in being outside the house, they did not run around or scream.

Li Yue and Yan Yixin each received one, and Li Heng followed behind carrying a floral bag.

Following Ya Zhe as we walked south along the house, we soon saw a sign with the plaque "Plum Garden" on it.

"Master Li, Mrs. Li, I will forgive you for staying here tonight. If you need anything, just ask Ma Liu. She is the housekeeper of this yard."

While they were talking, a woman led two maids over, bowed her knees and saluted——

"Greetings to Mr. Li and Mrs. Li. There are six rooms in this courtyard house, which are enough for you to live in. Cui'er and Bin'er, take the girls and young men to choose rooms. Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, please come with me.

."

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, one of the two maids took Li Yue and Li Tian, ​​and the other took Li Heng and Yan Yixin.

Li Hui picked up Li Huai and followed him to the main room. The room was exquisitely furnished, including screens and screens.

Looking at everything in the room, Li Hui held the child tightly in his arms.

This kind of open house is bound to accommodate seven people, and like the Zhou family, there is a house everywhere.

The heated kang in the room can sleep three people, and it is covered with green and colorful mattresses. It looks full of life.

Putting down the child whose eyelids were twitching, Li Hui saw a pen and paper on the table and went over to grind it and write.

The mother-in-law saluted Cheng Xue again and lowered her voice and asked:

"Ms. Li, would you like to bathe first or eat first?"

"No rush, I'm going to go out later and talk about it when I get back."

"Yes, I will leave first. If you have anything to do, just ask me." The old woman saluted again, bowed and left.

Cheng Xue walked to the round table and sat down, whispering:

"After you finish writing the letter, write it to me and I will send it to Jinxiang Pavilion. You will be at home..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Hui raised his head and interrupted her.

"Let's go together and take the same route as Zhou Fei. Let Tangtang take care of the children here."

He has made up his mind that he will never let her go out alone to do errands in the future. The feeling of waiting is too heart-wrenching.

Cheng Xue's heart felt as sweet as honey when she saw him like this.

Although there is no communication tool to keep in touch here, she feels more secure than having a mobile phone.

I can’t explain why, I just feel at ease.

Cheng Xue smiled and said "Okay", got up and went out.

The four children chose the rooms on both sides of the main house. They were smaller than the main house, but enough for them to live in.

Li Tian took off his shoes and got on the kang and fell asleep directly. Cheng Xue took the child to the main house with Li Huai so that Li Yue could take care of it.

After a brief exchange of words, the two of them went out to deliver letters and do some shopping, which took less than half an hour.

When they came back, Zhou Fei and his wife also arrived. They had a lot of things, so they hired two carriages and set off immediately. They arrived in Pingyang County and entered the city tomorrow morning.

"Brother, take your things with you and let's travel lightly."

"No." Li Hui declined politely, "There aren't many things. Your sister-in-law sent the food and other things the day before yesterday. You can just take what you want."

There are so many things but it is better not to join in the fun, lest one car is not enough and another one is needed, which will delay others.

After bathing and having dinner, Cheng Xue and Li Yue sewed medicine packages together.

A very simple and ordinary object, filled with mugwort leaves, patchouli, camphor and other medicinal materials.

It doesn't smell bad, so I don't know if it's useful. Anyway, it can prevent mosquitoes no matter how bad it is. Wearing it is better than not wearing it at all.

Mrs. Lian was afraid that they would not be able to rest well, so she came over to give them lotus seed soothing soup. Seeing the two of them making a lot of medicine bags, she smiled and said:

"Sister-in-law, have you done too much?"

Cheng Xue picked up a few and gave them to her.

"I don't know if it's useful or not. Anyway, hang it on the car or bedside to repel mosquitoes."

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Lian did not refuse, "Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about buying someone else?"

In Liangyan, scholars can use servants, but there is a requirement for the number of servants, which cannot exceed four.

"I haven't thought about it for the moment, and the village doesn't need it. Our family is enough for us." Cheng Xue responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Lian didn't say anything more. She swallowed Li Yue's words when they came to her lips.

If you wait a little longer, after the provincial examination is over, your mother's brother will probably believe it, and it won't be too late to open your mouth then. The Wang family has been keeping an eye on me, so I have to be on guard, and there is also the Du family.

Although there is a slight difference in seniority, everyone is different. It is not easy to be a good girl, not to mention that the Li family has a bright future...

…

The next day when it was ugly, Li Hui and Cheng Xue went to wake up the children. They washed their faces with cold water and refreshed themselves.

I woke up too early to eat, so the kitchen cooked eggs and baked pancakes to eat on the road.

The two families walked together, with people watching over them on the way.

The carriages set off and waited at the south gate. At the right time of the year, the city gate "squeaked...ah..." and all the carriages set off one after another. When the road forked, there were people going anywhere.

The carriages of the Li family and the Zhou family lined up in front and back, galloping all the way without stopping.

Cheng Xue and Li Yue got into the car and went to bed. They stayed up very late yesterday to sew medicine bags.

The children were also very obedient and did not make any noise. They sat quietly in the car and watched the scenery outside.

During the whole journey, we only stopped once at noon, just for a cup of tea, and then continued on our way.

At the end of Shen Shi, the carriage was still some distance away from Fucheng. Zhou Fei felt like his bones were stiff when he sat on it. He looked at his wife with her eyes closed and sighed softly.

Lian Shi understood instantly, opened her eyes and handed him the cantaloupe she brought in the morning, but Zhou Fei didn't take it this time.

"My husband, if you bear with me, I will be able to enter the city in half an hour. You will feel more comfortable after entering the city. You must not waste time now."

Newlyweds, relying on the sweetness of their relationship at this moment, otherwise Zhou Fei would never be so obedient.

Finally, at two o'clock in the morning, two carriages entered the city one after another, faster than the last time Cheng Xue entered the city.

The Zhou family's house in Fucheng is in the other direction of Gongyuan, two streets away from the one Cheng Xue rents.

When the carriage enters the city, it separates on the main road.

The lively hustle and bustle cheered up the sleepy Li Tian and Li Huai.

When we arrived at our destination, the alley was very quiet. Although every house had its lights on, its doors were closed, which was in sharp contrast to the main street of Fucheng.

There is not a lot of dust in the house, and it can be lived in simply by sweeping it.

Without any arrangements, the three children, Li Yue, Yan Yixin and Li Heng, took the initiative to clean up the house, set up fires and boil water.

Li Hui led the two children around and checked the doors and windows.

After making sure there was no problem, he returned to the main room and said:

"It's not as big as the houses in the county."

"That's okay. Why don't you tell me that our family of seven is a lot of people." Cheng Xue reminded.

Liang Yan did not use contraception, but there were not many children like the original couple who had several children. Take Mrs. Li for example, the only one who survived after having so many children was Li Hui.

Therefore, it is said that the child depends on fate, and must be carefully taken care of when he is born safely, otherwise he will die in a matter of minutes. The doors and windows are very strong, and there is a small open space in the backyard, which is paved with bluestone slabs, which is a bit wasteful.
