Chapter 218: It's finally leaving
There is another thing that makes Xu Cong'an feel more uneasy. I can't say why. I have invited He Wanting several times, which made him hesitate. He always felt that there was something wrong, but there was nothing strange.
Xu Cong'an naturally won't talk about such a thing to others. Is he old?
Spring in the north is always very short. It is not the fresh and beautiful feeling in the south. More like a lively and energetic teenager, he walks quickly towards summer.
In this spring, when the belly is getting bigger and bigger, in the season of fireworks in March, it has been cloudy and rainy for a week.
There has been no war on the border, and the exiles have slowly dispersed. The Zhou family has been to Qingzhou for a long time. And the concubine of the son who had rested for a month also decided to return to the capital.
The cold willow wind is playing with the drizzle and the new leaves on the tree, as if to show off the meaning of spring rain to the world.
At this time, Xue Jianzheng and Zhou Bo and Xu Cong'an were playing checkers. When they have nothing to do and can't go out, the three of them are not bored. But as soon as the curtain was raised, Bai Yitian, with an angry face, came in with rain.
Naturally, someone picked up the umbrella. Bai Yitian looked dissatisfied and said to them, "Didn't you say that Xuejian has made another upgrade for four people to play? Why did the three of you play checkers first?
To his anger, Xue Jian raised her face slightly and said with a smile, "Mr. Bai, you are really unimpeded!" Suddenly, Xue found that they all said that they had to throw away goods, and people had to die. It was really a big truth. Look at the prince in front of you, and then look at his history of blood and tears, which is a typical example!
Two years ago, after I wore it, I was worried about my livelihood, worried about food and clothing, and worried about getting rich. But the son of the county magistrate, who is only the youngest of the second generation of officials, has never given birth. Except for the time when he first met the Zhou family, he also reached out for relief, but later, he went from eating and drinking for free to eating and drinking for free to the end, and eating dry stocks. This really made Xue see this with his own ability and unremitting efforts. How can a new human being come to be well-off?
I don't know why Zhou Bo was obsessed with Bai Yitian in those years? Is this a mistake that will become a long-lasting hatred?
Now, Bai Yitian has spent more time in the Xu family than in the Zhou family than in the Bai family. Even his little one didn't say anything, and he made a marriage with Zhou Sanni. After only half a year, he was about to marry. The more Xue Jian thought about this, the more he felt that the Zhou family had suffered a loss.
Xu Cong'an also raised his head with a smile: "Isn't Brother Tian busy teaching Wu Niang Liulang to ride and shoot these days? Why didn't you go today?"
It turned out that the children of the Zhou family also came here to play for a while, but Wu Niang was detained by Aunt Wang to learn the rules at home to be a lady, and she was so bored that she was going crazy. Later, as soon as he heard that Liulang was learning to ride and shoot with Bai Yitian, he couldn't sit still. He didn't know how to convince Aunt Wang and also followed Bai Yitian to learn for half a day after a few days.
Wuniang Liulang is a smart child and has been naughty since childhood. At this time, she learned to ride and shoot, but it looks decent, which makes Bai Yitian, the "master", have a sense of accomplishment.
Bai Yitian frowned and said bitterly, "Isn't it raining for several days?" As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the chessboard and said, "Look, look, look at how tightly this green chess is blocked. I think Xuejian has lost again. If I were you, I would lose anything. I would have covered my face with a veil for a long time, and I will never see anyone again.
Xue Jian pointed to him and said angrily, "Failure is success. If there is no failure, how can there be success? How can a mortal like you have such a profound opinion as me?
Bai Yitian shouted, "Alas..." and quickly looked solemn, and he couldn't control his stinky mouth. You know, it doesn't matter if you offend a snow at this time. If you want to play anything new, you can't play anymore.
Has been waiting for Bai Yitian to take off his rain-stained cloak. Xue looked at him and continued relentlessly, "In short, we won't take you to play anything in the future." Bai Yitian just sat at the table and took a sip of water. Hearing Xue's serious tone, he laughed. He put down the cup and said with a smile, "Brother Bo, take care of your mother-in-law. It's just a trick to turn over and over." Zhou Bo didn't raise his head. He put down his son and said, "Even if you have thousands of changes, my wife is only enough to respond to your changes."
After all, he played this game while fighting with Bai Yitian. Xue Jian breathed a long sigh of relief and sat on the soft chair on one side. Why did he obviously "invent" his own thing, but why did I always lose? It hurts so much!
Xiao Xing came in with the food box and said, "Madam, come and have some snacks." Xuejian has been having a good appetite recently and has a strong appetite. Between the three meals, she will always add some snacks.
Now Xiao Xing and Xiao Mei are the first-class girl around Xue Jian. Xiaoxing and Xiaoli served Zhou Bo at first, but since they bought it, when they saw Xuejian, they knew that they had no hope of being accepted by Zhou Bo. They also understood, so they took that thought early. Since Xuejian became a young grandmother, she has been thinking about serving Xuejian. Xuejian is not a typical ancient man at all. He never puts on the air of a master and is unwilling to detain his servants, so the two live a comfortable life.
Now, Xiaotao has found a good family and become a free woman, and the young lady also gave her an enviable dowry. In the Zhou family's subordinate circle, there is a consensus that as long as you do it well, you will have a good future.
As Xiao Xing replaced Xiao Tao and lived close to Xue Jian, the more Xiao Xing became, the more grateful she was with her master and became more loyal and maintained to Xue Jian.
Xue saw that her stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and her body is getting heavier and heavier day by day. Usually, she has a slight headache and fever, and several little girl is more worried and sad than her own illness.
Xiao Xing is cautious and calm, so she is mostly in the hands of eating and drinking.
Seeing the food, Bai Yitian's eyes naturally lit up. Looking at Xiao Xing's small face and didn't look at him, he sighed and said, "The business of the Zhou family is also getting bigger and bigger. The money of the Zhou family is also making more and more money, but the people of the Zhou family are becoming more and more stingy."
Xiao Xing ignored his sigh and said to Xue, "Look, it's all made according to my wife's new method. Cheese cakes, raisin mashed potatoes, bean paste egg yolk cakes, Zhixin egg rolls, pine kernels and dates paste cakes, buckwheat chestnut cakes, corn cakes, sesame cold cakes. Let's taste it first to see if it tastes right?"
Xue nodded, looked at Xiao Xing, and whispered, "The color of this raisin mashed potatoes is wrong. I think it's still not enough when it's mashed potatoes; this pine kernel jujube paste cake is hot again, and the color makes people have no appetite..."
Bai Yitian stretched out his long arm, but took these two small dishes directly to his left and right hands. He frowned and said, "How can your young grandma eat this kind of snack that lacks color and fragrance? Or am I kindly partial to work?" While eating, he looked up at Zhou Bo, laughed, and continued happily, "Brother Bo, don't let our cook come to learn. In my opinion, it's useless to learn. It's better for you to make a few more copies every time, so that I can take it home to my mother."
Xue's eyes widened, blinked many times incredulously, and said, "It's not reasonable to hold it. In this world, there is only Mr. White's ear! I don't know who the white prince looks like?
A group of people, including Bai Yitian himself, laughed. After eating snacks like this, Xue saw that she was helped by Xiaomei Xiaoxing and went back to the inner courtyard to take a nap.
Bai Yitian said, "If it hadn't been for this rain, the son of the afterlife would have set off long ago."
Bai Yitian has long asserted that he is kind-hearted, sincere and not very attentive, but he is by no means a fool. He is extremely smart. The reason why he didn't take the scientific examination is that he was deeply influenced by both.
Bai Yitian's parents love each other, his father has no concubine, and Bai Yitian has no brothers and sisters, only Wang Conghan is a cousin, so he is very close. Later, after meeting Zhou Bo, because the Zhou family did not have an elder, although Zhou Bo was cold-hearted, he never treated his younger brother and sister harshly. He was used to it. As soon as he arrived at Zhou Bo's populous home, he enjoyed the feeling of intimation. Now that so many things have happened to the Zhou family, he can see them one by one. Naturally, he pays a lot of attention to this Nangubo that came out of thin air.
"Alas..." Zhou Bo sighed. Even the heartless mother-in-law realized that the son's family was wrong, which showed that there was really a lot of articles in it. However, with his ability and Bai Yitian, it is far more difficult to find out the crookedness of the prince than the arson case in Dongsheng Village.
Zhou Bo was uncontrollable and depressed when he thought of the arson case. If it was really done by the mother and daughter of the Liu family, how would the parents feel?
The next morning, Zhou Bo practiced a set of boxing according to his habit. After washing up, he went to Xu Cong'an with Xuejian to invite Ann to breakfast. Generally, at noon, the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family will take turns to come to meet Xue.
Just after breakfast, Duofu came to report that the prince's eldest son came with Xiaotang.
"The villain said good to Dr. Xu and the young master and grandmother of the Zhou family." Xiao Tang came in and smiled and saluted calmly.
"The prince wanted to come and leave in person, but the side concubine had always needed someone to take care of her, so she couldn't get rid of herself. The prince said that we are going back to the capital today. In the past two months, we have been grateful for the care of Dr. Xu. With that, he bowed deeply to Xu Cong'an.
Zhou Bo lowered his head slightly and sat next to Xu Cong'an, looking like he had nothing to do with him.
