Chapter 161 Favorite Wife First
In a secret practice room in the backyard of Shanfu, Shan Baoqian just finished playing a set of swordsmanship, collected the sword in an extremely neat and unrestrained posture, and then closed his eyes to maintain a standing state, as if he were sitting on a petrified statue.
The practice clothes on his body had been soaked with sweat, but his breath was not disordered at all.
He had written down all the martial arts secrets in his mind and burned them directly the next night.
In the past few days, because of Zhan Yue's guidance, his martial arts have grown extremely fast, and with the extra 60 years of strength given by Zijin Wan, he now fully believes what Shan Xiaowu said. Even if he can't squeeze into the top five in the world, he can at least enter the top ten.
Hanging the long sword back to the wall, Shan Baoqian picked up the golden abacus placed aside, opened the door and went out, ready to go back to the room to wash off his stinky sweat.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my room, I saw two ingots of silver neatly placed on the edge of the threshold, and there was a letterhead folded in half, trembling in the cold wind.
Shan Baoqian bent down and took two ingots of silver in his hand. As for the piece of paper, he glanced at it and threw it away: twenty taels, 4,100 taels.
This is the twentieth letter he has received since this month. You don't need to look at the signature to know who it is.
Twenty-two...
It's getting less and less. Isn't it too long to give her a one-and-a-half-month deadline?
He lowered his eyes and played with the two ingots of silver, and glanced behind him slightly. Shan Baoqian couldn't see whether he was in a good or bad mood. He opened the door and walked in without looking back.
After Shan Baoqian closed the door, two heads immediately appeared outside the arch at the end of the corridor. It was Shan Xiaowu, who had been hiding from Shan Baoqian for nearly a month, and Shan Xiaowu, who had come to join the fun.
"Xiao Wu, is this really good?"
Qi Nian looked at the lonely paper ball thrown into the corridor in frustration, and felt that her heart had been twisted again - although this was the twentieth time this month.
"An La La, don't worry, my second brother will definitely take this trick." Shan Xiaowu couldn't bend over for too long because he had a straight stomach. He peeked for a long time and then left. He didn't forget to say hello together. "From the fact that my second brother promised to increase your repayment period from three days to one and a half months, it can be seen that he has looked at you differently. As long as we... are not right, as long as you continue to work hard and insist on not meeting him, but deliberately leave him a small clue, you will definitely succeed.
Although she thought seriously later that this was a fucking bad idea, but... Well, since it has been implemented, and she doesn't seem to be disgusted with her second brother, then... don't tell Qi Nian.
He secretly crossed a penitent cross in his heart, and Shan Xiaowu decided to learn from Ah Q from the ostrich to the end.
"Now that the letter and silver have been sent, we can almost proceed to the next step."
Qi Nian looked into the yard reluctantly and asked, "What's the next step?"
"Stupid! Keep learning to cook!"
As the saying goes, if you want to conquer a man's heart, you have to conquer his stomach first?
But because Qi Nian's cooking skills are too bad, Shan Xiaowu can only find someone to give her the most basic soup cooking skills, and then let her send a bowl of perfect soup to Shan Baoqian on time every day.
Fortunately, although Qi Nian was clumsy at the beginning, either burned her hands or burned her hair, but after a few days of practice, she has made a lot of progress - at least she can now make a pot of 'normal' sweet soup.
Thinking of the sweet white-eared snow pear soup that can greasy bees before, as a first-time taster, Shan Xiaowu almost got goose bumps, and even the little guy in his stomach protested and rolled over for a long time.
From then on, the responsibility for trying fell on the sweet-loving jade, and she absolutely dared not try again.
At the instigation of Shan Xiaowu, Qi Nian really bravely cooked and tried all kinds of big tonic soup every day, and also had to pinch the time, sneaked into his room when Shan Baoqian was away, and then acted like a thief to observe the situation at the door of his yard.
I don't know if her heart really moved God. After eight failures, every time the soup served in the dry room of Shanbao will always be eaten completely.
At the beginning, Shan Xiaowu thought it was really Shan Baoqian, but later he accidentally found that the single bag came out with a casserole with a satisfied face.
There is no need to ask, all the meals cooked by Qinian must have fallen into the stomachs of those four guys. No wonder recently, I always feel that Zhaocai Jinbao's face is much rounder than before. It turns out that it was all made up by Shan Baoqian's "selflessness".
Since this job doesn't work, we can only change the direction.
"Father, what do you think can be done to make my second brother willing to marry Qi Nian?"
At night, Shan Xiaowu leaned on Gui Bili, stroking his stomach and asking him for advice with a sad face.
In fact, according to her usual mischief, she very much advocates the method of feeding Chun and medicine to Shan Baoqian, and then letting Qi Nian push him down and cook cooked rice directly.
But considering that he will definitely be debtsed by Shan Baoqian, and even he may be irresponsible and resolutely not to marry Qi Nian - in this way, isn't she willing to do bad things?
Well, she knows her second brother, and he won't do this kind of thing. But he couldn't stand the feeling of deception after marriage, so he was left out for revenge.
If the husband and wife respect each other like 'ice', such a marriage is too unfortunate, not okay.
"Don't think so much." Gui Boli lowered his head and massaged her sore waist with both hands. Hearing this, he paused and then answered her, "The marriage is determined, and they will solve it by themselves."
Sand Xiaowu turned his lower body slightly and turned his head to look at him with his arm in his hand. "But I don't think the second brother is that easy..."
He put his big hand on her lower abdomen to prevent her from worrying unnecessarily, "For the sake of the child, huh?"
Shan Xiaowu frowned and thought for a long time, and had to admit that he was right.
She is not a shrewd person. Most of the ideas she read to Qi are bad ideas. It's better not to let them get to know each other by themselves - anyway, as long as there is fate, they can't escape together.
If you come up with ideas, you may ruin a good marriage. This... is really inappropriate, inappropriate!
What's more, her current situation is not suitable for running around. My stomach has been very obvious for more than seven months, and it keeps growing, and my feet begin to swell. I often press it with my hand to make a depression, and I can't come back for a long time.
It's really hard to drag such a heavy body and run here and there every day. Not to mention that since she was six months pregnant, her feet have always cramps from time to time. In case something goes wrong...
Forget it, it's safer to stay in the room.
"Well, I'll listen to my father-in-law."
He leaned his head against his chest and rubbed it coquettishly. After Shan Xiaowu figured it out, he immediately decided to leave the rest of the route by himself. "I will look at it from the side in the future. The second brother left and right are not so repulsive now. They should have a chance to be together.
It's better to give Yue Lao a headache when it's a matter of pulling the red line. As long as she is responsible for taking care of her health now, she will give birth to the little guy in her belly smoothly and raise it healthily.
He pinched her round cheeks and carried her to the inside of the bed. He also took the opportunity to get into the quilt. "It's late. Go to bed."
"Good night, my father-in-law." Shan Xiaowujiao smiled and leaned into his arms. Gui Buli immediately put his hand on her waist and wrapped it around her. At the same time, he carefully left a force to avoid pressing on her stomach.
He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and put his chin against her heart. He waved his backhand and extinguished the candle on the table. "Good night."
From then on, Shan Xiaowu really fulfilled his promise, removed the title of dog-headed military division, and did not get involved in between Shan Baoqian and Qi Nian. It's just that when they are bored occasionally, they will unite with Mrs. Shan to give them two opportunities to meet.
Qi Nian is also very competitive. Since the recovery of the single baby, her previous boldness and convenience have all come back. Although no Shan Xiaowu was around to make suggestions, she seemed to have seriously worked hard to study Shan Baoqian's preferences, and she was also very close to him these days. From time to time, you can see two people walking together. Even if she occasionally insisted on going out with Shan Baoqian, the latter did not make a disgusting or impatient expression.
In the eyes of Mrs. Shan Xiaowu, she was naturally very happy. Mrs. Shan has even begun to plan various matters about marrying a wife.
Qi Nian's identity has long been known from Shan Xiaowu's mouth.
In order to prevent fraud, Shan's father, who was born as a businessman, specially asked someone to go to the desert to inquire about it, which confirmed that Qi Nian's identity was true.
Because the little girl is good-to-gance, her personality is also bold, generous and easy to get along with, and there is no bad performance in her innocence. During the days when I lived in Shan Mansion, I didn't put on airs and chatted with everyone. I was extremely filial to my father and wife - the most rare thing was that I was dedicated to my second son.
The two old men have already looked at her right. Now they are just waiting for Shan Baoqian to nod, so that they can quickly choose a good day to marry her as their daughter-in-law.
But it's obvious that Shan Baoqian is not easy to pass.
Although he and Qi Nian have begun to go in and out together, their mouths are always as tight as clam shells. Even Mrs. Shan asked in person, she just smiled and didn't say anything, which made people guess what he was thinking.
After the winter solstice, Ben Lei, who had been left in the capital to deal with the aftermath, also returned to Yanzhou. With more than him, Lang Xie and Zhan Yue and others, Shanfu is much more lively than ever.
Shan Xiaowu makes the little guy in his stomach more noisy, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Usually, he basically stays in the room and can't walk a step. He only lets Feicui and Yaoxiang to talk with them, or occasionally chat with Mrs. Shan and listens to Qi Nian's story about her 'chasing her husband'. Cheng is also happy.
But after lunch that day, Shan Xiaowu's mood suddenly fell down.
Looking at the bare trunks outside the window and counting a few more days, I found that it had been a long time since the Wulin Conference was held.
At the beginning, it was agreed to go to watch it with Gui Buti. As a result, she had never left the capital because she was pregnant, and she was always heartless. She suddenly missed the opportunity to join in the fun without remembering it. Now it is inevitable that she has some regrets.
It's a pity that the next martial arts conference will be held in four years.
I have nothing to deal with today, so I stayed in the room to accompany her. Seeing that she looked frustrated, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and couldn't hide her worry, "What's the matter?"
Shan Xiaowu didn't intend to hide it from him and confessed to him.
After listening to it, I just touched her head to give her smooth hair. Although she didn't answer immediately, she looked at her eyes with more funny meanings.
"Madam, you don't know that."
Since lunch, Ben Lei and Lang Xie have occupied half of the table together, and each person and the dragon's mouth are stuffed with rose crisp. After listening to Shan Xiaowu's words, he immediately laughed and explained, "That martial arts conference has been postponed to May this year."
"Yeah? Postponed to May?" Shan Xiaowu counted with her fingers and found that she had given birth to a baby at that time. He raised his eyebrows and immediately smiled happily, "Great!"
But after a while, he frowned again, "No, can the martial arts conference be postponed? Haven't all the invitations been sent out?"
This is not a trick!
"It couldn't have been. But..." Ben Lei winked at her, looked at her ambiguously, and then looked at her sitting next to her with his eyes closed. "Someone warned them that they must postpone according to his request. If they don't do so, the consequences will be very, very... very serious." With that, he took a bite of the large pieces of rose crisp and continued with a smile, "I think madam, you are so smart that you should understand who you are talking about, right?"
The owner of Xiaoyao Island, who has rarely participated in martial arts affairs, personally issued a notice. If you don't want to burp too early, you'd better be obedient. If you dare to raise objections, please hide your family and wash your necks and hit the knife by yourself. It's easy to go all the way - go to the Lord of Hell to protest.
So for the sake of the safety of the martial arts people, the bitter martial arts 'cute' can only extend the martial arts conference indefinitely until the child can jump around alive after giving birth to a child.
In order to allow his wife and children to join in the fun and not hesitate to fight against the whole martial arts, looking at the whole world, he probably can't leave this perverted guy who spoils his wife and spoils the sky.
