MTL - Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband-Chapter 5
Since the family had two servants, Xia Rong became idle. In the past, he could still wash clothes and tidy up the room, but this time, if he wanted to do it, he would be preempted by the two servants.
Xia Rong now eats and sleeps besides playing with the little rabbit every day, well, his snacks are also controlled by his husband, and the snacks are limited every day. He really didn't do it on purpose before, who said dim sum is so delicious, he accidentally ate too much, and he couldn't eat it when it was time to eat, and was caught by the husband. Since then, he has to listen to his arrangement for the amount of snacks every day.
Xia Rong raised her head and looked at He Miao standing beside her with watery eyes without blinking. He Xin and He Miao were two people. He Xin was more powerful, while He Miao was gentle and easy to talk. He Miao, who was looked at by the master like this, shook his head helplessly and said, "Zhengjun, you have all the food for today, the young master won't let you eat more, and the servants can't help it either."
Xia Rong blinked and didn't look at He Miao, alas, he said before that he could eat as much as he wanted, and my husband must have disliked him for eating too much. Looking at the last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake left on the plate, Xia Rong licked her lips pitifully, then looked at the sky, there was still a whole afternoon, so let's wait and eat.
When Shen Xiangyan came out of the fragrance room, he saw Xia Rong lazily sitting in the yard basking in the sun. He also knew that the little guy had been bored for the past two days, and being restricted by him in eating, it must be uncomfortable. But who told this greedy ghost to be unable to control himself? You can eat snacks, but how can you not eat well if you don't eat snacks. After thinking about it, Shen Xiangyan went to the study room. He asked Xia Rong before and learned that his father taught him to write when he was there, but his father left early, and Xia Rong only learned part of it. There are still many characters that he can't understand. .
Because Shen Xiangyan has the memory of the original owner, and Feng Yuguo's writing is the same as traditional Chinese, so he can understand the writing, it's just that it doesn't look good when written. Shen Xiangyan took a book about Fengyu Country's customs and customs, and a few more scripts, went back to the yard, picked Xia Rong up and sat him on his lap, and began to read to him. It just so happened that he had read it himself, and by the way, he could teach Xia Rong some words he didn't know.
Well, he wouldn't admit that he was eating silken tofu in a bright light. Xia Rong is very light, so it doesn't hurt to sit on him for a long time. Moreover, after spending time with her for a long time, Xia Rong also acquired the smell of him. It is very light, and the scent of white orchids can only be smelled when you are very close. This is a scent that you have used in your previous life. What excites him is the feeling of dyeing another person with his own scent. The feeling of eroding another person a little bit made Shen Xiangyan really want to stop.
The two enjoyed a rare afternoon. Although they couldn't eat too many snacks, there was herbal tea specially made for him by the husband. A white porcelain pot was placed on a small shelf, and a small candle was used to heat it under it, so that drinking would be guaranteed. The tea is always hot. In addition, Xia Rong felt very satisfied with his husband reading to him. In Xia Rong's little life, only the few days when he married Shen Xiangyan were his happiest days.
Shen Xiangyan still cooked the dinner for the evening, but He Xin had already helped to complete the preparations in advance, which greatly reduced his cooking time. Shen Xiangyan is actually a very practical person. The life in the orphanage when he was a child and his own ups and downs in the society later made his heart not so hard-hearted, and his appearance is gentle and polite. It is just a layer of skin to adapt to survival.
Therefore, even if he came to this time and space suddenly, he could still adapt to the life here, instead of doing stupid things, talking about the equality of everyone in his life after buying someone. Even in his era, everyone was not really equal, let alone here.
And there are very important prerequisites for Xia Rong to be able to walk into his heart so easily. First of all, he was married to him. In Fengyu Country, a place similar to the ancient Hua Country, a woman and her husband's family are equivalent to marrying each other. It is not for nothing that he is from the husband's family, and his death is the ghost of the husband's family. From this point of view, it was easy for Shen Xiangyan to immediately put Xia Rong in his own territory.
In addition, although Shen Xiangyan has never loved anyone, Xia Rong herself is indeed the type that Shen Xiangyan would like. She is simple and warm, and she will not be clouded by the injustice of her past life. Such a beautiful sunshine, and these are also Shen Xiangyan. something long lost. Holding Xia Rong in his arms, Shen Xiangyan thought that he would do his best to pamper and love him, so that those things he had lost long ago could live on Xia Rong forever.
For dinner, Shen Xiangyan made four dishes of spicy tofu, vinegared cabbage, sweet and sour pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, and of course the fish soup that he had been cooking since morning. Anything, boiled over a slow fire for a whole day, he specially made it for Xia Rong. Seeing Xia Rong drank half a bowl of milky white fish soup, he handed him the chopsticks with satisfaction.

After dinner and after serving the two masters to sleep, He Miao lay on the bed and leaned against his elder brother who was lying next to him, "Young master is so kind to Zhengjun, I have never seen anyone dote on your husband so much. "
"Well, but who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? It looks good now, but I don't know how many years this situation can last. Alas, a person with such a soft personality like Zhengjun doesn't know what to do when the time comes." Xin always thinks more than his younger brother.
"Young master dotes on Zhengjun so much, maybe he won't take concubines in the future." Although He Miao said so, he also knew that it was impossible. Now that Xiangzilai's business is so good, it is he, this servant. Everyone knows, and even thinking about it, they also know how prosperous the Shen family will be in the future, and how likely it is that the young master will not take concubines.
"Looking at how the young master loves the Lord so much, I think these things won't happen in a short time. Alas, even if the time comes, the young master will remember the friendship of the past few years, so that no one will bully Zhengjun. Anyway, Zhengjun treats us You two are so good, we just need to serve Zhengjun well with our heart."
Before falling asleep, He Miao thought, it would be great if Zhengjun could conceive a child sooner, but unfortunately, as twins, the chance of pregnancy is much lower than that of a woman, alas.
At the moment, Xia Rong, who is sleeping in Xianggong's arms, is of course unaware that the two servants at home are worrying about his future. However, Shen Xiangyan's worry was not a problem at all, because he would only have Xia Rong as a wife in his life, and it was too late for him to love Xia Rong, so how could he bring someone in to find trouble for Xia Rong.
—————
In this way, a month passed in a blink of an eye, and this day was the day when Xia Rong returned home. It is a custom in Fengyu country that a woman's twin sons go back to their natal family to visit relatives one month after they get married. On this day, the husband and wife not only have to pay homage to the woman's parents, but also bring home gifts. Shen Xiangyan had already arranged the homecoming ceremony. Although he didn't like Xia's family, this was Xia Rong's homecoming ceremony after all, and he didn't want people to look down on Xia Rong. In addition to preparing a rooster according to the custom, which means "good luck", various meat, fish, wine, wedding candy, wedding cakes, silk cloth are also prepared for the return ceremony. cakes, and even brought two bottles of perfume that was hard to find outside. These homecoming gifts were even numbers, and they were wrapped in red paper to predict that the husband and wife would be a couple, a good marriage for a hundred years.
A few days ago, Shen Xiangyan had someone build a carriage according to his requirements. It looked nothing out of the ordinary except that it was a little bigger than ordinary carriages, but inside it was much more comfortable than ordinary carriages. This was Shen Xiangyan's hired carriage once before, it's hard to describe the feeling of sitting in it. Later, I had no choice but to prepare one myself. I think the carriage is almost the same as a modern car, and it can be used for a long time, so it is not a waste.
Shen Xiangyan and the two servants packed all the homecoming gifts they had prepared into the carriage, and then the four of them went to Xia's house together.
The Xia family is in the silk business, but since this business was handed over to Xia's father Xia Xueliang, it has been getting worse day by day. Mrs. Xia Li Lanzhi was born in the Li family in Gusu, and she is the youngest daughter of the Li family. There was a high-ranking official in the ancestors, and he is still considered a scholarly family. This is also the most important reason why Shen's father made this marriage for Shen Xiangyan back then. Shen's father originally thought that the daughter who was taught by a woman from a scholarly family would not be too bad. Unfortunately, Shen's father never thought that he would go After that, the Xia family was so deceptive.
Shen Xiangyan felt that there might be something good about the daughter of the Xia family. After all, the Xia family must have leaked this matter of marriage to some extent from this Xia Tian. Seeing that Xia Rong married so easily, I also know that Xia Tian knew about it. Time did not object. Shen Xiangyan really didn't like this kind of behavior of sacrificing his brother for himself.
When Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong arrived at the Xia residence, they didn't see Father Xia coming out to greet them. Instead, the servants led them to the front hall and waited for a full cup of tea before seeing Father Xia coming out of it unhurriedly.
Xia Xueliang was in his forties, and his figure was a little out of shape. As soon as he came in, he got angry at the servants, saying why Xia Rong didn't come to pass the news immediately when he came back, but he didn't mean to blame him at all. Shen Xiangyan was also happy to watch this scene, but Xia Rong on the side felt so sad that he was dying. He knew that this was the case at home, and he was used to their neglect, but Xianggong had to suffer this kind of punishment with him. Xia Rong thought of this pair of Xia Rong The last trace of family affection faded away.
Getting along these days made Shen Xiangyan know what Fulang was thinking just by looking at his appearance, and calmly patted Xia Rong's hand as comfort, expressing that he was fine.
