Chapter 112 Lotus Soup
The arrival of Zhou Ehuang made Li Yuan's life much more interesting.
The war was about to come. The previous round of the meeting discussed military affairs in the meeting hall, and he did not dare to relax like a tight bowstring. As soon as he returned to the back house, he saw Zhou Ehuang accompanying his adoptive mother Liu, leading a group of maids to watch the flowers and plants in the courtyard. The light was mottled and the shadows of the trees were stirred. The scene of talking and laughing was really warm, like a gentle breeze blowing away the depression in his heart.
After all, the backyard is peaceful and happy, and the harmonious coexistence between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is probably the dream of every man.
Seeing his husband coming, Zhou Ehuang quickly stood up to greet him. His pair of lively peach blossom eyes were full of tenderness and comfort. After owing to the salute, he reached out and naturally held Li Yuan's arm.
Liu was even more smiling, and the old man was naturally happy about the love scene of the couple. While greeting Li Yuan to sit beside him, he called the maid to hand over a bowl of lotus soup. Since he arrived in Langzhou City, the old man's complexion has become more and more rosy. Now that the proud son has married again, his spirit is getting better and better.
Li Yuan was just a little hungry in his stomach. After hugging Zhou Ehuang and sitting on the cushion, he picked up the soup and drank it with his head. After a few sips of cooling, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "This soup is done well. Mom, have you all eaten it?"
Seeing that Li Yuan was drinking very sweetly, Liu replied happily: "Brother Yuan likes it and eat more! We have eaten it all, and we have to thank you for your blessing. Ehuang's hand soup is really good!"
Liu Shirao grabbed the beauty's big hand without interest, smiled and smacked her lips, "Well, it's obvious that your wife still has that hand! Is it wrong or wrong? The bowl of soup has also left half of your inner impatience..."
Zhou Ehuang twisted the scarf again and was wiping the corner of Liu's mouth carelessly, and said gently: "It's my mother who praises me, that's what I should do. My husband is busy with official duties on weekdays, and I have a way to share his worries. As long as he eats comfortably, it's fine."
"Of course it's comfortable, haha, it's not as comfortable as he is!" Liu's heart was cold, and he almost resisted the desire to kiss under that pretty face. Then he quickly suppressed the impulse, his eyes turned to the bluestone at his feet, and grabbed a dead grass and played with it outside his hand.
Zhou Ehuang seemed to hear the sound of the strings outside the words and immediately nodded generously.
Looking at the colorful flowers outside the yard, Zhai Bing looked up and felt the warm sunshine, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not comfortable to speak outside the yard, the sun is very good, and the flowers and plants are beautiful. I used to be afraid of going out and walking less, and staying with my mother for less time. It's just good for my body and mood!"
Li Yuan suddenly took over the conversation, slapped his knees and nodded, "Yes, Ehuang's body is still a little more delicate. We will raise it well and give you a fat grandson as soon as possible..."
Having a child is naturally a trivial matter. Zhai Bing hugged Zhou Ehuang tightly, and said with a wicked smile: "Did you hear this? We have to work hard!"
"Where is my mother, why are you serious..."
The couple looked at each other tenderly, and then Liu casually glanced over the courtyard and saw that on the nearby porch, Qiu'er was directing more than ten men, each with a flower hoe in his hand, which was in a disorderly manner by the flower bed, bent down and sticking out the soil.
The color of the new soil turned dark brown before it was turned, and it seemed that the fragrance of the soil could be smelled from afar. In the summer, the big faces of many men were covered with sweat beads, but they were very careless. They were carefully hoeed, and Liu just saw one of the extremely strange figures after a little discerning.
When he looked up, Liu refused to frown and said, "Why is it Sister Yao?"
Zhou Ehuang's attendant Qiuer was a top-notch attendant who did rough work. When he arrived at the Liu family's mansion, he had to continue to serve him closely, so he would naturally be weak and asked you to do less. But at that moment, his big girl was standing on the cool shadow of the tree and watching with her warm eyes, while Wang Jingyao was doing her work in the scorching sun. The viewing was really good. After all, the latter was a maid. Although the former had not officially entered, who knew that it was the concubine who was decided by Xiaoshang.
Although it was not obvious, Liu's heart still felt strange inexplicably. Seeing that the sun was getting stronger and stronger, Qiu'er stood with her hands back with pleasure, but Wang Jingyao still seemed to be waving the flower hoe tirelessly, never even turning back.
Zhou Ehuang was silent. Seeing that Liu was about to get up, he quickly explained: "Mr., Sister Yao asked me. I have advised you to be tired, but you listen..."
Li Yuan was quite calm. Before taking a sip of tea, he said kindly: "It's only Ehuang, you have advised you too. But Brother Yuan, have he forgotten that when he was in Jinling, there were so few flowers and plants, but they were all handled by Yao girls. What is that little work for you? Alas, he knows your temperament, and he also has a hobby outside and for several months. How did he talk to you?"
Zhou Ehuang seemed to hear some meaning, and lifted the bun under his head. When he was a moment ago, he whispered high head: "Mr., do he want to include Sister Yao in the mansion one after another? I will choose a good day for me to let you officially leave the door!"
Liu stared at the sincere face quietly, breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What my wife said is, maybe it's because Shaori was busy, you forgot that section!"
Zhou Ehuang stood up quickly and bowed, "Well, I'm going to be here recently-"
"Are you lately? I'm afraid it's right." Liu waved his hand and said softly: "My wife, he is the mistress of the family. Of course, that matter is left to him, but it's time. You will lead the army to the war eight days ago. Let's talk about it when you come back!"
Zhou Ehuang focused his head, then frowned and asked with concern: "Have you been out in the next two days? Why are you going to fight again? When will you be able to come back?"
Liu sighed, hurriedly reached out and pulled Zhou Ehuang, and said in a deep voice: "My wife, that battle was the same as before. Dongxi to the west and Han troops in the south were all coming in full force. Langzhou is now enemies from both sides, and the situation is quite simple. That time it was under his territory. It was a real small battle. If you don't have any care, you will lose all the money. Therefore, you will definitely come back ten days and half a month, and he will have no preparation..."
Li Yuan said in a trembling voice: "Brother Yuan, although I understand, I know that the battlefield is dangerous. You must be very enthusiastic when you are inside! Don't forget that he just got married..."
"As soon as he went out for two months, he almost had news. My mother had a good sleep every night! If it were a small battle, it would be like taking Jiang Sheng down! Although I am like him, it would be better to have one person help him. By the way, there is no Seven Tigers yet. They are all sworn brothers, and they will not have any care when the danger is slow!"
Liu's heart warmed up, turned around and said irritably, "Mom, how could Jiang Sheng be like you? Now I am different from the past. Next time, you let me stay in Langzhou, are you doing a good job? That time, the two brothers will also go to war with you."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, then closed his hands, closed his eyes and murmured with a pious look: "Boss, protect the elder sister! The old man protects you! I will definitely let Brother Yuan return safely..."
From big to small, Liu always heard Li Yuan say this whenever he was bored. He had already seen it strange. At this time, he saw Zhou Ehuang's eyes wet, as if he was about to cry: "Mr., although you have been married for a long time, does he know that I have enjoyed the feeling of being with him a lot? He is my husband. If he makes any mistakes, I will live! When I was in Jinling, I heard that he was leading the army to fight, so I couldn't sleep peacefully. He stayed in it for a day, and I would be afraid for a day!"
Liu felt pity in his heart, and hurriedly raised his hand to help you wipe your tears. After seeing this, the scene was not sad. He secretly regretted that he was so sensational. He sighed: "Oh! Madam, Mom! Why is it so special to be separated from life and death? It's all your fault, it's time to mention those dangerous things..."
He picked up the bowl of lotus soup that was left with little remaining behind and smiled nervously, "Don't forget, you are the dignified Wuping Jiedushi, a famous general known to the entire Tang Dynasty. Even Your Majesty often praises you! They put their hearts outside their stomachs and wait for you to return from Xiaosheng in the mansion! You still have enough lotus soup for your wife..."
Seeing Liu kneading his shoulders as if he was teasing, he winked at him. Zhou Ehuang finally burst into tears and laughed. He hurriedly said, "Your husband wants to eat whatever he wants. I will give you a few more bowls of soup to let you eat enough..."
"It's busy." Zhai Bing responded with a smile, and then said casually: "By the way, my wife, I have to trouble him that time to go to warn him and help you take care of someone in the mansion. Oh, a man, you are already waiting in the back hall at this moment."
Zhou Ehuang's heart skipped a beat, then swallowed his saliva and asked loudly: "My husband, even if he ordered, is that man?"
Liu smiled and said, "Don't think less about it. It's the sister of Peng Shiyu, the governor of Xizhou. What's the name of Peng Qingying. This time you want to take my brother to go on the battle together, so you stay in our mansion for a while. As for how you came, it's simple. Let's ask you by yourself when you look back!"
"Xizhou, is it a barbarian man?"
"I'm a young man. Although my ancestors are Han people, this girl is really wild. Of course, I'm worried that I'll use it too little under our own territory. You will send more people in the mansion and suspect that you'll make some waves! But the lady must remember that after you come back, you can let you leave the mansion for half a step, so you may have to work hard during that period."
"Can you leave the mansion for half a step?" Zhou Ehuang frowned for a while, and then said without thinking: "I know, my husband will be worried."
