Qi Zhongyu was taken aback, thinking that the nonsense he just made up was immediately seen through by the other party who came to his senses.

But Lu Dongfu went on to say: "You said before that you would protect me, but we just got married, and you are going to live in a thatched hut in the mountains, and you left me alone in this house. It's husband and wife..."

Qi Zhongyu was powerless, and once again admired the little girl's brain power, and patiently explained: "That's because the accommodation conditions in the mountains are too poor, and the thatched hut I built is too small, so it can barely shelter from the wind and rain. This exquisite and magnificent house is completely incomparable. I just made do with it in the deep mountains by myself, but you are skinny and tender, you can’t endure hardships on the mountains with me, it’s not a comfortable place. "

There are two reasons why Qi Zhongyu lives on the mountain. One is to avoid dealing with people and reduce the risk of revealing his identity.

Secondly, it was out of her own selfishness, she wanted to guard the tombs on Yuenan Mountain.

But she was thinking about Lu Dongfu, but Lu Dongfu also had her own considerations, so she said stubbornly: "Why not? I was born as a maid, and I have done dirty work, and I am not a rich lady. Why can't I live in the house?" It's on the mountain. What's more, since I married you as a wife, as the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken and marry the dog, as long as you don't dislike me for dragging you down and hindering you, I will follow you for the rest of my life."

She was a loyal maid in the past, if she hadn't been sent back to the village by the second miss, she would have thought of serving the second miss for the rest of her life.

Now, Qi Zhongyu saved her life and married her. She would not pick and choose just because of the poor conditions in the mountains. She wanted to repay her kindness and serve her seriously.

Qi Zhongyu was startled when he heard the words, as if there was a warm current in his heart.

Indeed, she was negligent. Although she is married to the little girl in front of her, she is still not used to having an extra person by her side.

She was worried that Lu Dongfu would go with her to live in the mountains and live hard, but the other party didn't mind, and she was still very determined to follow her. This kind of heart is really rare.

After experiencing so many intrigues in different worlds, it is a rare blessing in life to meet such a pure and sincere girl, and even accidentally marry her as his wife.

She smiled and said: "So that's the case, then you can go up the mountain with me. Although the mountain is quite dangerous, I can definitely protect you with my ability. It's just that the hut can't be lived in. I'll take it another day." I went up the mountain and demolished it, and built a smaller yard on the spot, and you will live there with me in the future."

Only then did Lu Dongfu smile sweetly in satisfaction, but after thinking about it, building a house also required a large sum of money, and being in the mountains, the difficulty was doubled, at least a few dozen taels, so she hesitated.

It seems that Qi Zhongyu has been giving her money since he met her, like the previous betrothal gift and a big wild boar.

She said anxiously: "There is no rush to build the house. Since we are married, we can't just rely on you to hunt and support the family. I... I have been doing embroidery work in Xue Yuanwai's mansion for several years, and even the embroiderers in Haozhou City praised you. As for my craft, since I came home, I have been practicing embroidery hard at home, and now I have made some achievements. When I am free tomorrow, I will embroider a few patterns and sell them in the county town. I should be able to sell them for a good price. , it won’t be too late to build a house after saving enough money.”

Qi Zhongyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that this girl was getting cuter and cuter, and she would feel sorry for someone who took the initiative to share the family expenses.

She couldn't help stretching out her hand, pinched her tender cheeks with baby fat, and said, "Good girl, it's rare for you to have this kind of heart, but the accommodation can't be postponed, I will pay the money first, and wait for it." Afterwards, all the expenses of daily life will be entrusted to you, what do you think?"

Instead of feeling embarrassed, Lu Dongfu was excited and nodded vigorously like a woodpecker.

Qi Zhongyu took a deep breath and said, "So, are there any other questions? If not, then go to bed early. It's late at night, and you have to get up early tomorrow. Go to the next door to greet your second uncle."

There were still tears on Lu Dongfu's cheeks, and she said, "Well, I'll go to the back room to shake the handkerchief to wash my face, you should lie down and rest first."

She got up and left, Qi Zhongyu solved Lu Dongfu's knot, exhaustion surged up, although with her physical condition, it's okay to stay up for a few days and nights, but people have inertia, eat and sleep when the time comes, It is an instinct engraved in the body.

She yawned, quickly took off her coat, lifted the thin quilt and got in.

Lu Dongfu came back after a while, she glanced at Qi Zhongyu who was lying on the inside of the bed, her cheeks were slightly red.

Although she knew that there would be no bridal chamber tonight, she had never slept on the same bed with a big man since she could remember.

She walked lightly to the table and blew out the candles, leaving only two burning candles, and the light in the room dimmed immediately.

She walked to the bed, carefully lifted the quilt and lay down, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

She was actually very tired and sleepy, her eyes were still hurting from crying just now, but her head was so swollen that she couldn't sleep no matter what.

She tilted her head and glanced at Qi Zhongyu. Under the dim light, Lu Dongfu could see her thin side face and delicate bridge of nose without the cover of long unkempt hair.

Obviously he looks like a very unmanly person, but he is his husband-in-law and future reliance, just looking at him like this, Lu Dongfu, who was originally like a duckweed, seemed to finally have a harbor where he could settle. Her restless heart also settled down.

She couldn't help but want to get closer to the other party, until her body was close to each other, she turned sideways and carefully put her arms on the other party's body, making a gesture of hugging, only then unexpectedly found that the other party's body was very cold, and with him In comparison, I am like a big furnace.

Because it was very close, a faint cold fragrance flooded into the nose, sweet and pleasant smell, but...

Before she could think about it, she fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Zhongyu opened his eyes and looked at the top of his head, but he didn't push away the little girl who was leaning on her with half of her body on her own initiative.

She was a little bit reluctant, the little girl's body was indeed different, soft and warm, completely different from hers.

She doesn't regret what she did at the beginning, and she never feels regretful or sorry. This is the only choice to survive, not to mention she doesn't care at all.

She sighed sadly. Recently, her mood has fluctuated too much, which is very bad for her body. She should always be vigilant and control her emotions.

She closed her eyes, but felt the soft body of the little girl beside her more vividly. She smiled and fell asleep skillfully.

On the second day, it was Lu Dongfu who woke up first. This was a habit she had developed in Xue Yuan's foreign residence for more than ten years. They who are maids should wake up earlier than the master, and prepare all the things the master needs.

What's more, she has been in charge of the second young lady's small kitchen in recent years, and she has to get up early every day to make breakfast.

Therefore, she has long been used to getting up early.

She glanced at Qi Zhongyu who was being pressed by her half arm, before the other party found out, she cautiously and softly got up.

She found another dress she sewed from the cabinet and put it on. After washing her face in the back room, she cleaned the floor of the back room.

When she started to make up, Qi Zhongyu got up from the bed and quietly watched her skillfully twist her hair into a bun.

When Lu Dongfu put a hairpin on her hair, she stepped forward, picked up a flower hairpin made of rags from the dressing table, and inserted it into the bun.

He took out the rouge box from the makeup box, and it seemed that he was going to make up for her.

Lu Dongfu looked at him quite curiously, and still hadn't forgotten what he said last night, the other party must have good craftsmanship to change his facial features into another appearance.

She closed her eyes obediently, feeling the cold fingers of the other party sweeping across her eyebrows, under her eyes and on her lips.

When the other party's fingers left, Lu Dongfu opened her eyes and looked at the bronze mirror. The woman in the mirror smiled gently, her smile was like a flower, and the faint peach blossom petals dotted between her brows made her look playful and lively, and her eyes were slightly blush. She looked pitiful, and the rouge on her lips lit up her complexion again.

With just a few simple steps, she looked different. Lu Dongfu didn't know how to describe it with precise words, so she could only dryly say that it was a pitiful beauty.

Qi Zhongyu tilted his head and looked at her for a while, then stretched out his hand to wipe away the redness from the corner of her eyes, and said, "If you want to greet Second Uncle, you can't put on a pitiful and wronged makeup, or he will mistakenly think that I have bullied you. .”

Lu Dongfu's cheeks were bright red, and she mustered up her courage to say, "I will speak well for my husband in front of my second uncle."

Qi Zhongyu smiled with the corners of his mouth bent, raised her chin and kissed her blushing face, and said, "Good girl. By the way, what should I call you, Erya?"

It was only then that Lu Dongfu remembered that she hadn't told him her own name. Although Lu Erya was also her, she preferred the name Lu Dongfu.

She said: "When I was on duty in Yuan Xue's mansion, the second lady named me Dongfu. If my husband doesn't mind, you can call me Lu Dongfu."

Qi Zhongyu raised his eyebrows, and said, "I wanted to say it earlier, are you working in Xue Yuan's mansion in Haozhou City?"

Lu Dongfu nodded, and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Xiang has heard of Yuan Xue's mansion?"

Qi Zhongyu smiled, and said: "Xue Yuanwai Mansion is one of the top rich merchants in Huainan Road. People who have traveled all over the country have heard of it, and I am no exception. It is a good place to go. It is no wonder that you, a little maid, have such a bearing."

Lu Dongfu's eyes were shining. She also liked Yuan Xue's house, and when she heard Qi Zhongyu's praise, she showed a proud expression.

Qi Zhongyu was a bit apprehensive, and said: "Although I'm not satisfied that the second lady gave you the name, but the name Dongfu sounds very nice, that's fine, I'll call you Dongfu from now on."

Lu Dongfu pursed her lips into a smile, lowered her eyes and said meekly, "Sir."

Qi Zhongyu glanced outside, the sky was getting brighter, and said: "It's getting late, I'll go to the back room to wash up, and we'll go over to say hello to Second Uncle later, and then I'll trouble you to cook."

This is the custom in the village. A married girl has to get up early the next day to prepare breakfast for her husband's family to show her virtuousness and cooking skills.

This is Lu Dongfu's strong point. After all, cooking is what she is best at in recent years. She nodded hurriedly and began to draw up the menu for this morning in her mind.

After Qi Zhongyu finished washing quickly and came out, the two went hand in hand to the village chief's yard next door to say hello.
