Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 75

[Chapter 74]

Wan Feng picked up the strands of hair that had fallen out of her ears, and stuck it on the white jade-like half of her cheek, the corners of her lips curved, revealing a mischievous look.

Wei Shao looked at it, and suddenly felt an itch in his heart, as if he was lightly tickled by something. Resisting it, his expression became more serious: “You know who I’m talking about.”

“Today there are quite a few people at home. I really don’t know who my husband is referring to. Doctor Leling, grandma the second, grandma the third, and Duke Zhenguo. The lady sent to ask about the illness, oh, yes, there is also a lady from Zhongshan…”

Xiao Qiao’s eyes widened: “Could it be that you are asking about the lady of Zhongshan?”

Wei Shao squinted slightly. stared at her for a moment.

“Have you heard anything before?” he said.

“Husband, what do you think I heard?” The

hair tickled her cheeks a bit, Xiao Qiao raised her hand and tucked the hair behind her ears, looking a little careless.

Wei Shao had a meal.

“What could it be?”

he asked back. Xu Shi was a little upset by her words and attitude. With a snort, he turned around and walked to the study.

Xiao Qiao watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, turned around and closed the door. After returning to her desk full of brochures, she continued to face the account slowly as Tian Zhongni pointed out.

At the time of Hai Shizheng, Wei Shao came back from the study. He ignored Xiao Qiao at first, took off his clothes and lay down.

There are not many accounts left on the brochure in Xiao Qiao’s hand. Before a short while, I heard Wei Shao’s voice coming from the tent: “It’s getting late, grandmother only asked you to be in charge, and didn’t tell you to turn on the lights in the middle of the night to rush to check accounts!”

Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes secretly. To avoid disturbing his rest. After getting up, I washed my hands, turned off the lights and went to bed.

At first the two did not speak, and each slept separately. Wei Shao turned over several times. Xiao Qiao just closed her eyes and said nothing.

He suddenly heard him say, “I’m going out in two days.”

Xiao Qiao was startled and opened her eyes.

“Where are you going?”

“Chen Xiang escaped in the last battle at Shiyi, fled to Hedong, borrowed troops from his old friend Cao Jin to buy food, and tried to attack Bingzhou. Now it is in the Shangdang area. Although it is not a problem, it must be eliminated. I’ll go in person.”

Xiao Qiao was startled and sat up from the pillow.

She remembered that Da Qiao had said in a previous life that when Mrs. Xu passed away, Wei Shaoren was not in Yuyang and went out to fight.

She was fortunate at first that this was not the case in this world. Because of these days, Wei Shao has been at home.

This book also made Xiao Qiao feel relieved.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly said that he was leaving, and he would leave in two days.

One more situation that matches the previous life! Could it be that things are really going to develop step by step towards the established result of the previous life?

In the dimness, Wei Shaoyingyingchuo saw her suddenly sitting up, so she turned on the bed.

“Can you not go, husband?” Xiao Qiao looked up at him slowly and asked.

She was sitting beside her with a blank expression on her face, her eyes were straight, as if she was frightened by his words.

Wei Shao had never seen her look like this in front of him. And ask such childish words. For some reason, instead of being annoyed, a kind of pity tenderness slowly poured out of my heart. The stuffiness in my chest that had been stagnant until this moment in the morning seemed to have disappeared.

Wei Shao said, “I’m afraid…”

“Husband, don’t go!”

Xiao Qiao rushed over and threw him on the pillow.

“Don’t you have General Li Wei Liang and the others under your account? Let them go for you!”

Wei Shao was caught off guard, and she was thrown on the pillow on his back.

She almost threw herself on her chest, the two jade bibs climbed his shoulders, and the two pink meat balls on her chest also pressed him down, her beautiful eyes opened like a cat’s round eyes, and her eyes were wide open. Looking at him with a sullen look.

Wei Shao’s hands were straight, lying motionless, letting her press him, hesitating, and said, “Today has been settled…”

“Husband please!” Xiao Qiao interrupted him, the two little hands did not He stopped shaking his shoulders, “I really don’t want you to go out to fight again! Please! Stay!”

Wei Shao felt his flesh flaky. Knowing that he couldn’t change it, he couldn’t categorically refuse, and when she shook his shoulder a few more times, he heard a voice in his throat saying, “…let me discuss it tomorrow…”

Xiao Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief . , Only then did I feel pressing him down, let go of his shoulders, and climbed down from him.

Wei Shao raised his arms and embraced her, turned over and pressed her under him: “You are so reluctant to let me go?”

His thumb pinched her chin, and his tone was a little frivolous and smug.

Seeing that his face was just above his own, Xiao Qiao met his dark eyes that were close at hand, bit his lip, and hummed.

“If that’s the case, why did you face me coldly in the morning?” Wei Shao forced her to ask.

Xiao Qiao endured the goose bumps all over her body, avoiding his eyes, staring at his Adam’s apple, and said vaguely: “Who told you to treat me like that last night…”

Wei Shao felt that she She was coquettishly hating herself, her body felt refreshed, she held her face in her hands, and whispered, “I’m too tired, all my strength is on you, I don’t know when you left…”

Wei Shao is only twenty . In her early years, she was full of energy. She had been in the same bed with Xiao Qiao for so long, like eating marrow and knowing the taste, she was gradually unable to stop because of the beauty of her body, and she wished she would come back to sleep with her every day. It’s a pity that she doesn’t seem to be very enthusiastic about herself, and she never takes the initiative. It was rare that she was thrown on the pillow like this tonight, and she begged herself not to leave. It was like falling into a dream. After saying a few words, her eyes fell on her rosy lips, and she lowered her head and kissed it.

Xiao Qiao hummed a few times and struggled to break free: “Okay, you want to stay, you can’t lie to me…”

Wei Shao unbuttoned her clothes and kissed her chest and neck: “… um… I know. …”

…

After the last night, one was smugly trying to please him, and the other wanted to ask him for something else. The two hugged and rubbed together for a long time, but it was a rare romance between a husband and a concubine.

After Wei Shao slept contentedly, Xiao Qiao, who had dealt with him for two consecutive nights, was really tired, curled up beside him, closed his eyes and entered Heitian Township.

Wei Shao went out early the next morning. Xiao Qiao stayed in Beiwu as usual, and when he came back in the afternoon, he had no intention of doing anything else, so he just waited for Wei Shao to come back. I didn’t see anyone until it got dark. I slowly felt uneasy in my heart.

When Xiao Qiao waited until Hai Shizhong, she heard footsteps coming from the outer courtyard, and then the servant girl called “Men”. Immediately ran out to meet him, saw Wei Shao hurried up the steps, and the two met at the door.

When she saw his expression, her heart skipped a beat.

“Husband, what do you say?”

Although I had already decided in my heart, I was deceived by him last night. But I still had the last bit of luck. Xiao Qiao looked at him and asked.

When Wei Shao entered the room, he didn’t answer her immediately. He told the servants and women to go out, and then he said solemnly, “It’s not that I don’t want to stay with you. It’s just that I can’t get away. Shangdang’s geography is important, two hundred miles to the east is a pot. Guan, we must not make mistakes. What’s more, the border defense is also making major adjustments in the past few days, and I have to keep enough guards to protect Youzhou.”

His tone was not too much compared to when he was in bed last night. It’s been a decent time.

Xiao Qiao bit her lip and stood in front of him, hoping that he would not speak.

Wei Shao met her two eyes with hints of resentment, coughed a little uncomfortably, then lifted his feet and walked to the bathroom, saying, “There are so many facts today, and I’m also tired. I’ll settle earlier. Bar.”

Xiao Qiao stared at his back, and even suspected that when he left the room this morning, he didn’t feel relieved about what he promised himself in bed last night. Heart is depressed and annoyed.

I only understand that if there is nothing else, I might be able to have a fight with him again. When I encounter the arrangement of marching and dispatching troops to fight, if I hold on to what he promised in bed last night and don’t let it go, I’m afraid the next moment, He was going to blame himself for being unreasonable.

Xiao Qiao stopped talking. Seeing that it was not too early, I went to bed and lay down first.

Wei Shao came out of the bath room and saw her lying down with her eyes closed and her thoughts heavy, she climbed up and hugged her, coaxing: “I know you can’t bear me, and I don’t want to be separated from you. But this time I’m real. I can’t get away. When this battle is over, I will definitely go home to accompany you as soon as possible.”

Xiao Qiao knew that things could not be changed, and suppressed the disappointment, annoyance, confusion, and a trace of anger in her heart, too lazy to look at his face again, He turned his back and pulled the quilt over his head.

…

Wei Shao sent troops to leave Yuyang three days later at the fifth watch.

Over the years, military expeditions like this have long been commonplace. But Mrs. Xu still put on neat clothes regardless of her illness, and insisted on sending Wei Shao outside the gate in person.

Zhu Shi also finally showed his face from the east room and came out to show off.

Just like the previous time when he conquered Shiyi, the army outside the city was already ready to go. Amidst the roaring illumination of fire sticks, a group of generals stood in high spirits on both sides of the gate of Wei Mansion.

Wei Shao’s clothes and armor were bright, and under the reflection of the flaming fire stick at the door, Yingwei was like a god of war. He turned around, asked Mrs. Xu to stop, and said goodbye to Mrs. Xu. His eyes fell on Xiao Qiao’s face, who was holding Mrs. Xu’s arm.

Xiao Qiao and Madam Xu stood side by side in the middle of the gate, watching Wei Shao and the group of generals riding away from their backs, and when the group of horses completely disappeared in the last shadow before dawn, Fang turned around.

It was still very early, and it was past five o’clock. In the late autumn in the north, the sky is not yet bright at this moment, but in the distant eastern sky, a piece of white fish belly floated up before dawn.

Xiao Qiao still held the arm of the old woman beside her, and walked in slowly with her. Zhong Li and others followed.

Although Mrs. Xu had not recovered from her illness and got up early again, her spirit seemed to be at the best moment these days.

One of her hands was on Xiao Qiao’s. Xiao Qiao felt a ray of warmth from her skinny palms.

“You probably don’t know yet,” Mrs. Xu said to Xiao Qiao, walking slowly on the corridor paved with flat bluestones, “since Shao’er was seventeen years old when she personally took charge of the army, until now, over the years, every When he goes out from Yuyang, I will definitely send him, and when he comes back, I will definitely welcome him. This morning is the 21st time.”

Xiao Qiao was silent.

On the corner of Mrs. Xu’s lips, there was a hint of a proud smile: “He has suffered two major injuries, numerous minor injuries, and he has also been in trouble, but fortunately, he is stoic, he exercised his power decisively, and he has great ancestors. Zong Huyou, you are always able to save yourself from danger.”

“I am old. In the future, if I am not there, no matter whether it is victory or defeat, you will continue to send him out for me and welcome him back, just like today. You are willing to ?”

Xiao Qiao looked at Madam Xu, and when she saw her turn her head, she looked at herself with a smile. A burst of enthusiasm slowly poured out of my heart.

With Madam Xu’s state of mind and what Leling Doctor said that day, Xiao Qiao couldn’t believe it anyway. If it wasn’t for an external cause, she would have suddenly gotten sicker and died just like in her previous life!

She held Madam Xu’s thin hand tightly with her backhand, and said word by word, “Grandmother, you will definitely live a long life! I don’t want to greet my husband alone. I want to join my grandmother, like Send him off like this today, and welcome him back!”

Madam Xu was stunned, looked at Xiao Qiao for a moment by the light of dawn, and laughed.

“Yes. That’s right! My grandmother will live to be a hundred years old, and she is still waiting for her great-grandson!”

she laughed.
