I, the fox clan, Arita!

Wei Xiuya first sent Ling Shu back to the Marquis Mansion, but before he could be gentle, he ordered someone to boil hot water for Ling Shu to take a bath, and then hurried out to the palace.

Lingshu sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.

Returning to this room again, looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, he still felt unreal.

He is really with Wei Xiuya!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ling Shu covered his hot face, laughing foolishly by himself.

Huh?

There seems to be something on my face?

Lingshu touched his face and found a handful of mud.

He was startled, and hurried to the bronze mirror, and saw that his face was covered with black mud, dirty and without any sense of beauty.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ! !

how so!

How could Wei Xiuya be able to kiss just now! !

Lingshu was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

He was wiping the mud on his face vigorously with his sleeve, when the guard outside knocked on the door: "Young Madam, the hot water is ready, can you bring it in?"

Lingshu:! ! !

young lady!

Wei Ba must have seen the scene of him transforming into a human form, so he has no idea? !

"Come in." Ling Shu quickly sat up straight and said.

The door opened, and Wei Ba directed a few servants to come in with hot water and pour water into the big wooden bucket behind the screen.

Lingshu blushed watching them busy.

Wei Ba stood aside silently, but thought in his heart, it really is you, the little fairy, who bewitched the master!

As a result, the master is now going to the palace to plead guilty.

Let's just wait and see, if you dare to hurt the master even a little bit, I will never spare you!

After Wei Ba led the boys away, Ling Shu took off his clothes in twos and couldn't wait to jump into the bathtub, only then saw that he was covered in dust all over.

Also, he turned into a little fox and ran around, crawling and rolling all the way, his white fur was covered with mud, how could he not be dirty?

After taking a comfortable bath, Lingshu put on a clean underwear, climbed into bed, and wrapped herself in a quilt.

Why hasn't Wei Xiuya come back yet?

Hearing what King Fu said just now, Wei Xiuya arbitrarily mobilized the cavalry from the Jingwei to go out of the city to find him. Now he has no military power at all, and he was able to mobilize those cavalry entirely because of his connections and prestige in the army.

Wei Xiuya is not in charge of the army, but he can get the Jingweiying to do things for him with a single word, what does the emperor think of this?

Nobody in power would like someone to challenge their authority.

Lingshu couldn't help feeling worried.

How will the emperor punish Wei Xiuya?

Hit him with the imperial staff, or dismiss him?

If it's the latter, Ling Shu is not worried at all, anyway, Wei Xiuya's official position has no real power.

He was afraid that Wei Xiuya would be beaten, it would be very painful!

Thinking wildly for a long time, I originally planned to wait for Wei Xiuya to go home. I probably ran too much during the day, and today I got what I wanted. I lay on the bed at Wei Xiuya's house and felt at ease. Fell asleep.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, Lingshu felt his feet were numb and numb. He opened his eyes and saw that under the warm yellow candlelight, Wei Xiuya was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his foot and kneading and massaging it. It smells like ointment.

"Are you awake?" Wei Xiuya smiled at Lingshu, his hands kept moving.

After waking up, the pain in the foot was obvious, and Lingshu couldn't help shouting: "Ah...it hurts! Take it easy!"

"The heavier the medicine, the faster it will be absorbed." Wei Xiuya said so, but the strength in his hand was much lighter, "Do you dare to run around in the future?"

Lingshu hugged the quilt and sat up, his brows furrowed. His soles were red and swollen, and some places were scratched and bloodshot, and his calves were also sore for a while.

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have run away!" Ling Shu insisted.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, give me your hand." Wei Xiuya glanced at Lingshu with a smile, grabbed his hand, frowned, held it to his lips in distress, blew on it, and carefully applied it on ointment.

"Has the emperor punished you?" Ling Shu looked Wei Xiuya up and down with his eyes, worried that he was injured.

Wei Xiuya said in a low voice, "I want to go to the northwest to guard the frontier."

"What?! Ah——! It hurts!" Ling Shu was startled, the movement of his hand was too big, and it hurt. He didn't care about the pain, and grabbed Wei Xiuya's arm and said anxiously, "Your legs are not healed, Why did the emperor ask you to guard the border!"

Wei Xiuya held Lingshu's hand again with a livid face, and blamed himself: "I'm talking nonsense, I'm sorry baby, my father has been assigned by the emperor to go to the northwest, he won't let me go too, the emperor punished me Three months' salary, shut your doors and think about your mistakes."

Ling Shu breathed a sigh of relief, that's okay, that's okay, it's just a salary penalty, and it's not bad for the money, so he closed his door and thought about his mistakes, just happened to be recuperating his leg injury at home.

After feeling relieved, Lingshu became angry, and gave Wei Xiuya a hard look, "Then why are you lying to me?"

"I want to see you worry about me." Wei Xiuya lowered his head and kissed Lingshu's lips, blocking what he wanted to say.

The two of them rubbed each other's ears, Ling Shu blushed and panted, his body reacted, and he felt that Wei Xiuya was also pressing hard against him.

Wei Xiuya separated from Lingshu, watched him panting slightly, and said: "The emperor actually wanted me to command the Jingwei camp again after the Chinese New Year. I told him that I was going to chase after my wife, but I refused."

"Eh? Won't he be angry if you reject him?" Lingshu asked in surprise.

Wei Xiuya said: "My brother-in-law spoke for me, he recommended another general."

"Fu Wang?" Lingshu asked suspiciously, "The one who blocked us at the gate of the city today? But he looks fierce."

"Idiot," Wei Xiuya pinched Lingshu's nose and said with a smile, "That's for outsiders to see."

Lingshu: ...

Well, their twists and turns are way too complicated.

"Then why did you refuse?" Ling Shu asked Wei Xiuya again.

If you command the Jingwei, your duty is to protect Shengjing, so it shouldn't be so easy to fight, right?Moreover, he was doing errands in the capital, so he didn't have to go far away. Although he didn't dislike Wei Xiuya's current official position as a false one, he felt that Wei Xiuya himself definitely didn't want to be idle like this all the time. A man would always rely on his career. For the heavy.

"Didn't I say that?" Wei Xiuya massaged Lingshu's arm and said, "I'm going to chase my wife, I don't have time."

"I'm already here!" Lingshu said, "You're coaxing me again."

Wei Xiuya smiled and said in a low voice, "Because the emperor is getting old."

Lingshu:? ? ?

"You just listen to such rebellious words, but don't spread them, or your husband's head will be lost," Wei Xiuya said, "The emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and if he doesn't have a crown prince, if he can't survive this winter—new and old Alternate, the situation is complicated, I don't want to be involved, and my brother-in-law agrees that I should avoid it first."

Lingshu understood.

If the emperor didn't have time to make a will, it would be very dangerous for several princes to fight for power. If Wei Xiuya was still in Shengjing at that time, with his status, he would definitely be forced to go through this muddy water. Of course Lingshu didn't want to see Such a situation.

"Okay, then let's go back to Yan's Village after presenting the bean sprouts to the emperor," Lingshu said.

"Yeah." Wei Xiuya touched Lingshu's face and asked, "Are you sleepy? Go to sleep?"

"Sleepy..." Lingshu stammered, "Me, are we together?"

But he is not ready yet!

They just got together today, and now they are going to sleep in the same bed. Isn't this a little too soon?

It was the first time in his life that he fell in love, and he had no experience!

Wei Xiuya knew that Lingshu was shy, but he still couldn't help but want to tease him, "You call me husband, and I'll leave."

Lingshu's face flushed red, and he opened his mouth: "Phase, phase..."

Wei Xiuya raised his eyebrows, waiting for him with a smile in his eyes.

"I..." Ling Shu threw himself on the quilt and buried his face in it, "No! I won't call! You go!"

Wei Xiuya raised the corners of his lips happily, leaned over and kissed Lingshu's ear, and said, "Don't kick the quilt around at night."

After saying this, he sat in the wheelchair, pushed the wheelchair and turned around to go out.

He is not a child, so he will not kick the quilt randomly!

Talking to him in this voice on purpose again!

Even close to his ear!

It made his ears go numb!

Lingshu rolled on the quilt several times before the heat on his face finally subsided, he felt drowsy and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, not long after Ling Shu opened his eyes, Wei Ba asked through the door, "Is Young Madam up yet?"

Lingshu straightened up and sat up, all sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

"I got up!" Ling Shu said.

Wei Xiuya said with a smiling voice, "Then come out and have breakfast."

As usual, Ling Shu went to Wei Xiuya's room to have breakfast.

At the dinner table, Ling Shu asked, "Have you invited a doctor?"

Wei Xiuya: "Are you still going to Yuwei workshop today?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Lingshu said: "I'm going, but wait until you ask the doctor to have your legs checked before you go. Shen Jiushao will definitely go to watch a few days before the opening. It won't be a big deal. It doesn't matter if I go there later."

"The imperial physician from the palace will be here soon," Wei Xiuya said meaningfully, "The emperor specially sent two imperial physicians to diagnose my pulse."

Lingshu understood after a little thought, and turned his head to ask: "Could it be that the emperor suspects that you are pretending to be sick?"

"My wife is so smart." Wei Xiuya picked up a steamed dumpling for Lingshu.

Lingshu looked embarrassedly at Wei Jiu and Wei Shi who were standing guard outside the door.

In fact, only Wei Jiu and Wei Shi's side can be seen from this direction. When they were guards, they were naturally strictly disciplined, and they would not move around without Wei Xiuya's orders, but Ling Shu saw that they did not respond, as if As if he had received psychological comfort, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before breakfast was finished, the imperial physician sent by the emperor came. Two old men with gray hair and beards came. Wei Xiuya also knew them. One was named Zhao and the other Wu.

Sitting on the wheelchair, Wei Xiuya clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Wu, for treating me, you two have worked hard."

One of them, Imperial Physician Zhao hurriedly bowed to Wei Xiuya and said, "Don't dare to be, please take off your boots, Lord Marquis."

Originally, Wei Ba was always doing the job of serving Wei Xiuya, but before Wei Ba came over, Ling Shu had already squatted beside Wei Xiuya's legs and helped him take off his boots.

Pull up the trousers, and you can see Wei Xiuya's injured calf, the muscles have obviously shrunk, but the trauma has already healed, leaving behind an ugly scar.

To be able to walk completely like a normal person, in fact, it needs to rest for about a month. As a result, Wei Xiuya forcibly rode a horse yesterday in order to chase Lingshu. His leg is still aching until now, but he has been It didn't show up.

Imperial Physician Zhao pinched Wei Xiuya's leg with his hands, and nodded, indicating that the bones had indeed grown back.

The Imperial Physician Wu at the side checked Wei Xiuya's pulse, and the two imperial physicians asked Wei Xiuya some questions, basically knowing everything in their minds.

Doctor Zhao said: "Master Hou's leg is fine, but if you want to fully recover, you still need to continue resting, and the next official will make some plasters for you, and at the same time take oral medicine, it will heal faster. , When the pain subsides, you can try to walk a short distance every day, and then gradually increase the walking time, as long as you take care of it properly, you can run, jump or even ride a horse after recovery.”

"Would you please prescribe a prescription over there." Wei Xiuya nodded.

The two doctors prescribed a good prescription, Wu Taiyi said: "I have a grandson who is not good at medicine, he is not good at medicine, but he has learned some massage techniques, if Hou Ye doesn't mind, let him come and give Hou Ye a massage. "

Although Physician Wu said that his grandson was not good enough, he said it modestly. If he really had no ability, he would not dare to recommend it to Wei Xiuya. If something happened, he would have to bear the responsibility.

Wei Xiuya quickly said: "Thank you, Imperial Physician Wu, Xiuya can't wait for it."

Lingshu said excitedly at the side: "It just so happens that Dr. Wu is here, so I can learn from him by the way, and I can give you a massage then!"

Wei Xiuya smiled and rubbed Lingshu's head.

After the prescription was finished, Imperial Physician Zhao said that after the ointment was ready, Dr. Wu would bring it with him tomorrow, so he had to go back to the palace to answer the questions. When Wei Ba sent the two imperial physicians away, he gave them some money for consultation. gold.

Lingshu relaxed, and then thought of his thousand-acre mountain in Yanjia Village, and said to Wei Xiuya, "Can you help me find a farmer who can plant fruit trees? When I go back, I want to To tidy up the wild hawthorn groves on our hills,

Those trees are born naturally, with different sizes. Some trees are too small to bear a few fruits at all, and they can absorb nutrients from the land. I remember reading it in a book. If there is a suitable planting method , can increase production. "

"Hawthorn trees are planted on all three mountains?" Wei Xiuya asked instead of agreeing immediately.

Lingshu shook his head: "Just plant one mountain. Hawthorn is not a staple food after all. If it is planted well, the harvest of one mountain should be as much as all the hawthorns that our family collected this year. Of course, the other two still need to be planted. Food, food is more important than anything else.”

Wei Xiuya nodded in agreement, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Honey, have you never planted land? How can you grow food in the mountains?"

"You've never planted land before!" Lingshu glared at Wei Xiuya fiercely, expressing that his words were an insult to himself, "Can you grow terraced fields in mountainous areas?"

"Terraces?" Wei Xiuya was surprised now, he had never heard of this word before, "How are terraced fields grown?"

"It's like a staircase," Lingshu gestured with his hand, "You'll know when we go back and reclaim the fields, but—there are hundreds of acres of mountain land, and it takes a lot of people to plant it. If I can catch up with the spring plowing, I have to go back to invite people, and I have to leave after the new year, or I won’t be able to prepare in time, so I shouldn’t be able to celebrate the Lantern Festival in Shengjing, do you mind?”

The Lantern Festival is also an important festival for family reunion. If they walked back then, they might only be able to celebrate the Lantern Festival halfway.

"As long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter where we spend the holidays." Wei Xiuya held Lingshu's hand, interlocked his fingers, and said with a smile, "As I said, I will be with you whatever you want , I will help you with the matter of asking people to plant the land, you must have forgotten everything I said, right?"

Ling Shu was sweet in his heart, but he really didn't remember Wei Xiuya saying these words, and his face blushed involuntarily.

Wei Xiuya looked at Lingshu and said, "It's okay, I'll tell you more if you forget."

Lingshu's heart fluttered for a while, and she wanted to secretly praise her vision.

His male—no, his man, that's great!

Ling Shu said: "Wei Xiuya."

Wei Xiuya: "What?"

Lingshu: "I like you."

"Me too." Wei Xiuya looked at him seriously and said.

Lingshu laughed.

The two went out together to the "Yuwei" workshop. Today is the second day after the opening of the "Yuwei" workshop. As Ling Shu expected, there are more customers queuing outside the door, so there are more stoves for making egg rolls. one.

Yuzhang and Zhou Lianghai looked at the shop, handling things and maintaining order. Yuzhang had just started to learn things in the shop and was not very proficient, and Lingshu was not there in the morning. Although he was a little nervous, he always had a smile on his face .

After all, this is the first time he has earned so much money. From now on, he will not be that pet that can only be raised by Shen Ziyue and cannot live without him.

The more Shen Zi was worried about Yuzhang, he also came today, and like yesterday, according to Yuzhang's request, he stayed in the backyard and did not show his face, unless something serious happened, he would come out to help.

After Lingshu and Wei Xiuya arrived, Wei Xiuya went in first to accompany Shen Ziyue, and Lingshu went to discuss matters with Yuzhang.

The two teenagers occupied a table in the small hall on the side, and the outside was blocked by a screen. Although the environment was a bit noisy due to too many guests, fortunately, it could block the sight of others and provide relative privacy.

Yuzhang had a report in his hand, a form drawn by Lingshu for him, a very simple daily account form, on which Yuzhang and Zhou Lianghai counted the pastries sold in a day last night, income, cost exclusion, and surplus Write the number below.

Lingshu glanced at it. Although he had already estimated the profit of the first day in his heart, he couldn't help being surprised when he saw the amount.

"So many?!" Lingshu held a charcoal pen in his hand, "Good business, good omen!"

Yuzhang couldn't help but rejoice and said: "There should be more today. I have told the masters to hurry up and make more cakes. There are also several restaurants that need to place large orders. I can't make up my mind alone. I want to discuss it with you."

"Don't worry," Ling Shu said, "With yesterday's release, no one dares to look down on you now, and besides, there is Shen Jiushao behind you. If anyone comes to place an order these days, just make an appointment. Let's talk to them, by the way, are there any private orders? From those high-ranking households? Our advertisements have all been made."

Yuzhang didn't understand the word "advertisement" at first, and even Shen Ziyue hadn't heard of it. Ling Shu explained it to them. After all, Shen Ziyue had a brain and means, and immediately understood the huge business opportunity contained in this word. It immediately occurred to me that this method could also be used in other businesses of my own.

Although Shen Ziyue always felt that Lingshu's identity was not worthy of Wei Xiuya, but in terms of facts, he still appreciated Lingshu's ability very much.

"Yes, there are, but they are all just talking about it," Yuzhang said, "I didn't specify how much to order. I think I should ask their own masters for instructions."

Lingshu nodded to express his understanding, and said: "We have just opened, cakes are just a novelty, and they are not the kind of time-honored brands that have been in business for decades. Others don't know if our store can continue to operate for a long time, let's wait and see It's normal too,

Don't worry, anyway, the profit of the store alone is enough. I don't think it will be long before there will probably be stores that imitate us in the capital. In fact, it is not difficult to learn how to make cakes. We can't prevent it If the prescription leaks out, there is no need to guard against it. "

Yuzhang became anxious immediately, and said, "All the Shen family's sons are used in the store, and they dare not tell the outside world! Even though Master Jiu is usually tolerant, he can't tolerate such things the most. If anyone is caught, he will dare To do this kind of thing of betraying the master's family, it's not easy to sell it on the board, and it's not like Jiuye didn't kill his servants when he was angry! How could Fang Zi spread it?"

"Of course the pastry chefs don't dare to reveal it on their own initiative, but they can't prevent some interested people from asking about it by means. Those people's methods are hard to guard against. To put it simply, ask you directly after you have a meal and get drunk," Ling Shu shook his head. Said, "So there is no need to guard against it, and the method they use to inquire about it is definitely not comprehensive. Even if it can be made, the taste will not be as good as ours.

Shengjing is so big, even if we open a few more stores, we won’t be able to grab our business. What we need to do is to ensure quality and service, and the most important point is to innovate. We keep launching new products. You draw some patterns, and then a new cake will be launched every month. In this way, no matter how many Shengjing imitates us, we will not be afraid of them! "

As soon as Lingshu finished speaking, there was applause from behind the screen. Shen Zi stepped into the screen and praised: "That's wonderful, Yu'er, you still have to learn from Lingshu. Of course, my Yu'er It’s also very powerful, and I have found such a good teacher.”

Shen Ziyue sat down beside Yuzhang, and naturally pulled him into his lap, and Wei Xiuya's wheelchair also turned in from behind the screen.

Yuzhang nodded repeatedly and said, "Lingshu is really amazing! I'm too stupid."

"I was just talking casually..." As soon as Ling Shu saw Wei Xiuya, his confident look just now disappeared, and a pair of bright eyes fell on Wei Xiuya, with a little shyness.

Wei Xiuya shook Ling Shu's hand, gave him an encouraging look, and then said to Shen Ziyue, "Since my wife is so powerful, as an uncle, shouldn't you give your niece and daughter-in-law a better meeting gift? My sister has already given it away, it is a jasper bracelet, you are an elder, you must not be worse than what my sister gave you?"

Ling Shu's face flushed instantly, and he didn't dare to look up at Shen Ziyue.

Wei Xiuya whispered in his ear, "Quickly call little uncle."

Lingshu stumbled and said, "Little...little uncle."

Shen Zi was more noncommittal, snorted lightly, and said, "Whatever you want, just say it."
