Chapter 313

When Hua Rong saw her husband ask about savings, she answered in a daze, "savings? I think, with your salary and your Majesty's reward, there was about 3000 yuan in the family. Last time, in order to buy horse leather, earthen pots and poison equipment, I supplemented 2000 yuan in order to buy 2000 yuan. The remaining 1000 yuan, I spent 300 yuan these days..." her voice became lower and lower, some panic, "now there is less than 700 yuan left..."

"Well, I'll work hard, sister seventeen. Use this 700 Guan to prepare for Qiao Niang..." his eyes shifted from Li qiaoniang to his wife, looking at her light green shirt, smiling rather than smiling, "sister seventeen, I don't understand clothes, just compare it with yours..."

Hua Rong forcibly suppressed the surging emotions at the bottom of her heart, smiled and said, "well, I'll do it myself. Don't worry, I'll prepare the best for Qiao Niang."

Li qiaoniang blushed and hurriedly said, "my husband has come to be frugal. There is no need to make an exception for my family, and there is no need to make a big deal..."

Yue Peng raised a smile: "etiquette is still necessary, and you can't save it. Qiao Niang, you don't have to worry about it. It's very hard for you to serve the lower officer and his wife these days. In the future, you can rest and wait for his wife to do it for you."

Hua Rong nodded, "yes, you've worked hard, Qiao Niang. You only do some sewing these days, and you don't have to do housework. I'll arrange it for you."

Li qiaoniang hurriedly saluted, "thank you, madam. I'm really blessed to meet my wife."

Hua Rong was as heartbroken as a knife, but she still calmly discussed various details of concubinage with her husband and his "Concubine" Only in the part of entertaining guests, Yue Peng said that the war was tense, so there was no need to make a big announcement, just invite relatives and friends to a party As for the list of guests, he will arrange it in person, and there is no need to interfere with it

Hua Rong was noncommittal, and the three discussed for a while before returning to their rooms to have a rest

Yue Pengju went to bed first, frowned and said, "Alas, this eye disease is really fatal."

Hua Rong walked slowly over and changed his medicine. Then he said softly, "have a good rest for a while. There are always doctors who treat eyes in Tanzhou city."

He lay down: "thank you for your service."

"No."

For the first time, the husband and wife were polite. Hua Rong turned slightly sideways, but seeing his smile on his face, he realized for the first time what the real meaning of "respect as ice" was

The light went out, but Yue Pengju seemed sleepless, very excited, and kept asking, "sister seventeen, what do you think Qiao Niang still needs? What clothes does she wear to look good? What jewelry should she prepare?..."

Hua Rong answered every question he raised with great patience. The whole person seemed to be a little numb. He only told himself again and again that since he chose this road, he would play the role of "good wife" to the end

Yue Pengju asked again, "is it too little to have only 700 Guan to organize the wedding?"

Hua Rong was a little guilty, and his voice was very low: "sorry, if I hadn't wasted previously, there would be 100 liang of gold..."

"It's all right, sister seventeen. You've never had a decent life with me these years. It's also right to buy a few clothes. Anyway, I'll think of another way. Li qiaoniang is young and can't be shabby in the end..."

Young, beautiful as flowers, naturally can not be shabby Hua Rong thought, as for the wife of chaff, what does it matter whether she is cold or not

Finally, Yue Peng was tired of asking. Seeing that Hua Rong was still dutifully answering, he yawned and said with a smile, "the virtue of sister seventeen is really rare in the world. I didn't know it before."

She kept smiling and sighed, "I'm a great hero if I ask the Yue family to have a queen."

Yue Pengju didn't ask again. After all, he was extremely tired and soon fell asleep

Where can flowers sleep? But she was afraid of disturbing her husband and didn't dare to toss and turn too much. She just opened her eyes in the dark and quietly looked at the unpredictable world, feeling that everything was illusory

In a daze, I felt that my husband's hand was so hot on me. That was his habit and hers Especially in those days of serious injury and despair, she slept peacefully with such tenderness every night, which gave her great confidence and courage to live However, everything has changed to this day She quietly took away his hand and gently put it aside. He was asleep, ignorant, and his hand gently grabbed her hand This time, she didn't push away again. After a long time, she heard his snoring, and then quietly moved away. She slowly put on her clothes and got out of bed

Quietly walked to the window. At this time, the moon reached the middle of the sky, and the Brucea sparrow passed by with a low voice She stood for a long time, listening to the voice of her husband turning over. Afraid of disturbing him, she quietly went back to lie down

Although there was no propaganda, the news that the good deed of the Yue family was close spread among the relatives of the military camp These days, under the arrangement of Yue Pengju, Li qiaoniang no longer does any housework. Two soldiers come to the family to help with the cooking. She only focuses on embroidering at home and making handkerchiefs, sachets, and concentric knots that girls like Hua Rong is out shopping She knew that Yue Peng's money was spent on Li qiaoniang's dowry. It seemed that he was not prepared at all To be a "groom", you also have to look like a groom. Peng Ju has coarse clothes all year round, and there is no decent clothes at all. At least he has to prepare them for him Can't the bride wear gold and silver, and the groom wears old clothes?

Because Li qiaoniang was idle, she often went to do needlework with the women in the army. The women saw that her clothes were becoming more and more beautiful day by day. With the change of the past jingchai dress, the beautiful girl's face was even more prominent While admiring Li qiaoniang, all the women's families flattered her greatly Only then did I realize that this lady really wanted to replace the scum wife

In the evening of that day, Li qiaoniang packed up her sewing and went back, and several women began to talk:

"Li qiaoniang is really lucky. As soon as she comes, she will be a first-class senior, such as Madam. In the future, it is also possible to become a madam."

"Who calls her a gift from the Empress Dowager's official family? Her status is naturally superior to others. Besides, she is young and beautiful. She gave birth to a son and was spoiled by Yue Xianggong. That's for sure..."

"Yue Xianggong is famous for his frugality. This time, I heard that he would make a big deal for Qiao Niang, so that she would not be inferior to her wife's status. If Yue Xianggong didn't like her very much, how could he be so?"

"Mr. Yue wants a big banquet? But our master hasn't received the invitation."

"What are you panicking about? It will happen naturally at that time. They are all in the barracks. Don't you go with a cry?"

"Mrs. Yue is also really magnanimous. Not only is she not jealous, she also handles everything for Mr. Yue personally. I can't bear to give anything good to Li qiaoniang. My master's two concubines. When the concubine came in, I didn't give a good face at all. Fortunately, I have two sons, otherwise, I don't know how to be bullied..."

"Mrs. Yue is also helpless. Who calls her barren? It's wonderful. If she is barren, she has no confidence. Fortunately, Mr. Yue likes the new and doesn't tire of the old, and never abandons her. In the future, if she wants to consolidate her position, of course, she has to do so, otherwise..."

Wang GUI's wife sneered, "I don't think there is anything good in men. A few days ago, I asked Mrs. Yue to decide for me. Who will decide for her in the future? With an official as big as Mr. Yue, who does he want to spoil? Who dares to say more? In short, our women are doomed..."

"That's impossible. Since ancient times, women's fate has been like this. Who can do anything?"

Listening to these comments, senior sister felt very unhappy Just think, Mrs. Yue, she is really a man with a bad life

Contrary to Li qiaoniang's situation, these days, Hua Rong formed a sharp contrast with her, and restored the jingchai dress, but there was no sign of haggard. She was still smiling every day. Walking behind people's predecessors, she was still kind and her eyes were crystal, as if a straw mat would glitter around her

Because of this, the senior sister, who had a good personal relationship with her, always dared not face her and talk to her Hua Rong didn't take the initiative to find her On this day, she saw Hua Rong coming back from the twilight, not riding a horse, only carrying a cluster of arrows, looking hurried She wanted to say hello to Hua Rong, but felt uneasy. Finally, she closed the door and pretended not to see her

How can Hua Rong not know the suspicions of these women? She was also indifferent to these. When she came home, the afterglow of the house was sprinkled from the treetops. Li qiaoniang stood up and looked at a mandarin duck sachet just embroidered Hearing the footsteps, she looked up and saw that it was Hua Rong, a blessing, and blushed: "Madam..."

Hua Rong smiled and glanced at the sachet in her hand. "Qiao Niang, it's really beautiful. Your hands are really clever."

She whispered, "my husband has been fighting for years. I embroidered a sachet and asked him to take it with him. Bless his peace."

"Well, you're still careful."

"The slave family often thinks that my husband and wife treat me so much that I don't know how many generations I have been blessed with."

Hua Rong said faintly, "you deserve it."

Her eyes turned, but she saw an embroidered picture of twins on the table in front of Li qiaoniang Seeing her eyes, Li qiaoniang hurriedly said, "Madam..."

Hua Rong smiled and said, "I hope you can open branches and leaves for my husband as soon as possible."

Li qiaoniang was a little uneasy and said nervously, "I will do my best for the incense of the Yue family."

"Well, Qiao Niang, I'm relieved to have you take care of my husband."

"Madam, please don't worry. Although I can't fight against the enemy, I will try my best to serve the minister and let him worry free."

Hua Rong nodded and returned to the room After drinking a bowl of herbal tea and sitting for a while, Yue Peng pushed the door in

He may have noticed the changes of his wife these days. His beautiful clothes have been replaced by the old ones, and his face is a little haggard His eyes were eager to talk to her However, Hua Rong didn't want to talk to him about anything other than concubinage Several times, as soon as he opened his mouth, she pulled the topic aside He looked at her in a daze for several times before saying, "sister seventeen, you don't need to be like this."

Hua Rong smiled and said softly, "Peng Ju, I promise to do it for you, so I must do it well. Don't worry."

"But you don't need to be frugal! I'll figure it out myself."

Hua Rong smiled: "it's not so serious. I'm just mortgaging unnecessary accessories. Besides, now the war is tight, the southeast has a long-term drought, and the 100000 troops are raising, and the people's wealth is almost wiped out. What else can you think of? What's the matter with eating less and dressing less?"

Yue Peng held out his hand and held her hand tightly. "Sister seventeen, you've really worked hard. Well, I'll ask the bodyguard to prepare for this. You don't have to deal with it."
