A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

"Dong dong dong", the knock on the door woke up the two people who were immersed in sweetness.

Yan Shu also slowly pulled out of Liu Zhuo's arms.

Liu Zhuo hugged her light waist tightly again, as if he didn't want to end this hard-won hug.

"Okay, you must be looking for me for something."

Yan Shu gently took off the hand on her waist and responded to the door:

"what's up?"

Awu heard Yan Shu's reply and said quickly:

"Madam, the shopkeeper of Xu Ji Soy Sauce is here to see you. He is downstairs."

Yan Shu: "Oh, I understand. Just let him sit for a while and serve him some tea. I'll be right back."

Awu responded, followed by the sound of thumping down the stairs.

Yan Shu and Liu Zhuo looked at each other and smiled.

"It seems that the maid you picked up is very sensible. You see, we didn't hear her going up the stairs. She stepped very loudly when she went downstairs."

Liu Zhuo said with a smile.

Yan Shu saw that he was still smiling, and felt mixed joy and sorrow at the thought that he would soon go to the border land for negotiations.

"I have to go down first. Shopkeeper Xu probably wants to discuss grain and oil cooperation. I'm sorry to keep him waiting."

Although Yan Shu wanted to spend more time with him, she really didn't have the resources to do it now.

Liu Zhuo nodded and motioned for her to go first.

Shopkeeper Xu wanted to sell his soy sauce in Wen's Grain and Oil Store. Since Yan Shu opened the store, she has attracted countless customers and other peers with its prime location and unique sales model.

Yan Shu and him seemed to be discussing, but in fact their thoughts were wandering.

This has never happened before.

After sending shopkeeper Xu away as quickly as possible, Liu Zhuo had disappeared without a trace when she returned upstairs.

Liu House.

Mrs. Liu was also very angry when she learned that the imperial court was going to appoint Liu Zhuo as the negotiating envoy.

"I think back then, your grandfather just didn't want his cousin to have royal power that would affect the brotherhood, so he took the initiative to delegate power. For decades, our tribe has lived a low-key and cautious life. Even if we settle here, we still have to deal with them. It’s my fate. I know how easy it is for you, a single seedling, to grow up to now, but you still have to go."

Mrs. Liu couldn't help wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Liu Zhuo knew that his grandma was worried about his own safety, but the emperor's order could not be violated. Besides, as a descendant of the royal family, he could do his part and be worthy of his status.

When he thought of the people on the border being burned, killed, and plundered by the herding Tatars, the blood in his bones burned.

Liu Zhuo comforted his grandmother that it was okay. He had grown into a man who could do things for his family and country.

Grandma also knows that when a child grows up, he or she must do something within his power to become mature and stable. She also hopes that her Zhuoer can become a pillar of talent.

Three days later, Liu Zhuo said goodbye to his grandmother, packed his simple luggage and set off.

Wen's Grain and Oil Store.

Yan Shu was restless in the attic. Today was the day when Liu Zhuo went to Kyoto.

She had washed herself and dressed up early in the morning. She didn't usually decorate herself much, but today she unconsciously drew her eyebrows and touched her lips.

Looking at her still youthful face in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

The shops downstairs were not open for business in the morning, and the whole street was still deserted. Yan Shu opened the window and stared blankly at the street paved with bluestone slabs. She directly received the news from Liu Zhuo's servant that he would arrive in Kyoto today and told her to just wait for him at home.

Yan Shu looked out the window, nervously expecting.

Until the sound of Liu Zhuo's horse hooves passed through the empty street corner, she quickly stood up and looked around.

Sure enough, it was him, an elegant and handsome young man who came into her view. The clatter of horse hooves gradually opened her heart.

She quickly went downstairs and opened the door.

What came into view was a handsome face with a somewhat cool air.

"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Liu Zhuo took off the bamboo hat on his head and looked at Yan Shudao affectionately.

Yan Shu shook her head. She didn't know where to start.

She took out a jade pendant from her cuff, gently picked up Liu Zhuo's hand and caught it.

"I went to the temple to ask for this. It can ward off disasters for you. I can't do anything else. You should take it with you."

Liu Zhuo didn't expect that Yan Shu could ask for this peace charm for him, and he was very moved.

He put the jade pendant on his chest at the innermost position of his clothes, touched his chest and said:

"Don't worry, I will keep wearing it until I come back safely."

After saying that, he also took out an envelope and handed it to Yan Shu.

"Don't open it now, you can open it again after I leave! This trip is thousands of miles away, and I won't be by your side to protect you. You must take care of yourself. Yaya, just leave it to the Liu Mansion. If you meet anyone else If you have something difficult to do, you can go to the house and ask grandma for help."

Yan Shu saw that Liu Zhuo was thinking about her safety and worried about her, and couldn't help but feel that she should have been nicer to him before.

Yan Shu took the envelope and nodded. Her bright eyes did not dare to look directly at Liu Zhuo anymore, and she only said:

"Okay, it's getting late, you should leave early. Take care on the road!"

Because there were followers waiting not far away, Liu Zhuo could not stay any longer.

He held Yanshu in his arms again and whispered softly in her ear: "Wait until I come back to marry you!"

After saying that, he let go of his hand and walked back onto the horse to spur him away.

It was the first time that Yan Shu felt the sadness of separation so closely.

After Liu Zhuo's figure disappeared from the street corner, she reluctantly returned upstairs.

Opening Liu Zhuo's envelope, a line of words came into view:

"There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, but the king does not know."

The signature is Liu Zhuo.

It turned out to be a love poem he wrote to himself.

Yan Shu blushed and her heart skipped a beat. This form of expressing love through words was perhaps the oldest form of courtship.

But it will last forever. As long as she sees this love letter, she will have to think of Liu Zhuo.

"Haha, he really tried his best to make me not forget him."

Yan Shu smiled silently and placed the paper and letter in the most secret place in the cabinet as if to treasure it.

Liu Zhuo led his followers across the mountains and rushed to Kyoto as quickly as possible without fear of hardships.

Of course the emperor would greatly reward a promising young man like him who stepped forward. Of course, more of them have high hopes, hoping that he can go there this time to appease the people, negotiate a deal, and benefit the people.

Liu Zhuo will stay in Kyoto for two more days, and the royal family will prepare a large amount of food, cloth, tea, salt, livestock, horses and other scarce materials.

Liu Zhuo would often take out the jade pendant given by Yan Shu.

He placed it close to his chest, just so that he could always feel the feelings of the woman he loved most.

It was a thousand miles away, and the situation on the road was still unknown. Before Liu Zhuo set off, Liu was already thinking about what it would be like to go back and marry her. How wonderful it would be for Yan Shu to lie shyly in his arms and call him husband-in-law.

Since Liu Zhuoyou came, Yan Shu's heart began to feel empty.

The business in the shop is taken care of by herself, and Yaya is also taken care of by Awu, so her life seems to have become leisurely.

But her heart couldn't rest in missing Liu Zhuo.
