MTL - Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband-Chapter 10

When Shen Xiangyan came back with vegetable porridge and a few side dishes, he saw Xia Rong obediently lying on the bed waiting for him, so he nodded in satisfaction. After fixing the small kang table for him, he passed the vegetable porridge to him. Seeing the little husband eating the porridge, his face was buried in the bowl, Shen Xiangyan couldn't help laughing. He took some of his favorite side dishes with chopsticks and put them in the porridge bowl. He felt that if he didn't pick up Xia Rong's dishes, he would have to bury his head in the porridge with his current shyness.

In the past few days, the herbal tea that Xia Rong drank every day was also replaced by Shen Xiangyan with red date tea, which is good for the body. Originally, in a family of some status in Feng Yuguo, the couple would sleep in separate beds when this kind of thing happened. Xia Rong mentioned it once in a low voice, but Shen Xiangyan dismissed it before he finished speaking. How could it be possible to let him and the young husband sleep separately, but fortunately, there were only the two masters in the Shen family, and no one could say anything.

Xia Rong naturally listens to her husband in everything, and Xia Rong didn't want to sleep separately from her husband at first, but now sleeping next to her husband at night is like a natural heater. Xia Rong sleeps very warm and reassuring every night, so I mentioned it once After being opposed by his husband, he naturally wouldn't bring it up again, so the two of them still hug each other and sleep together every night.

After Xia Rong's first Kwai Shui left, he had to prepare for the New Year. This was Shen Xiangyan's first New Year in this time and space, and it was also his first New Year with his little husband. There are not one or two things that need to be prepared for the new year. Fortunately, Shen Xiangyan is very interested in it, and he is ready to take care of everything in person, so that this first new year will be perfect without making mistakes.

Shen Xiangyan didn't know much about the customs of the Chinese New Year in this place. Fortunately, there were the Feng family and the Chen family. They were all experienced old people. With their guidance, it was easy for Shen Xiangyan to get started and direct everyone to get busy. . As for Xiangzilai's business, under the arrangement of Shen Xiangyan, they also started a big promotion before the year, such as buying perfume and getting balm, a perfume gift box set that looks more exquisitely packaged, and a lottery ticket for every fifty taels etc. This event also allowed Xiang Zilai's business to more than double its profit in the month before last.

On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, this day is the day when the Stove Lord goes to heaven. The Rong family has made a lot of candy for offering sacrifices to the stove with corn and millet and fried sesame seeds. When dusk fell into the night, Shen Xiangyan brought his family to the kitchen, set up the altar table, set up the incense burner, and offered all kinds of sacrifices and fruits that had been prepared. The statue of the Kitchen God and the paper-made horse were burned together, praying that the Kitchen God would say a few more good words in front of the Jade Emperor, and hope that the family will be auspicious and safe next year.

Afterwards, you can share the prepared candy for everyone to eat. Xia Rong deliberately took a piece and stuffed it into the husband's mouth. Shen Xiangyan, who didn't like candy very much, didn't stop him. The sweet taste mixed with the aroma of sesame seeds melted in his mouth. , The rare feeling is not bad.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is also known as the sweeping dust day, but everyone in the house is very busy on this day. Originally, there are only two masters in Shen's house so far, and there are not many servants who need to serve on weekdays. But when it comes to this kind of year-end cleaning, it is found that there is not enough manpower. Not only do we have to clean all kinds of utensils, remove and wash bedding and curtains, but also clean every corner of the yard. Even Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong helped out together that day. Of course, the two masters finally only did some light work under repeated objections from the servants, so they didn't mention it.

In the next few days, the house will buy a lot of new year's goods every day, all kinds of snacks and dried fruits, needless to say chicken, duck and fish. Shen Xiangyan also bought a large piece of fresh venison in the town, and planned to cook it and eat it fresh on New Year's Eve. The mansion also invited people from Jinxiufang to make several sets of new clothes for Xia Rong and Shen Xiangyan, and even each of the servants prepared two sets.

The days were fast, on the day of the New Year's Eve, Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong got up early in the morning to put on new clothes, and put up Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters together, as well as the New Year pictures cut out of red paper by He Xin and He Miao. . Red lanterns of different sizes are hung all over the house, which is full of flavor at a glance.

The Shen family cooked a total of twenty-two dishes that day. Before the meal, the servants saluted the two masters and said blessings, and Shen Xiangyan and the two of them distributed the red purses full of silver fruits that had been prepared long ago to everyone. , The servants who received the red envelopes all looked happy. Waiting for these to end before starting the meal. The New Year’s Eve dinner is a custom. There are so many dishes that everyone must not be able to finish, but what we want is this festive and lively.

After the meal, Shen Xiangyan wrapped Xia Rong in a blanket and let him sit on his lap, and the two watched the New Year together listening to the crackling firecrackers outside the house. Shen Xiangyan fed the peeled chestnuts into Xia Rong's mouth one by one, watching him chew things with puffy face like a little hamster, he just felt that the time is peaceful at this moment, and the emptiness of his thirty years in the previous life is here in just a few short days. The month was filled until tonight, when the two of them watched the New Year together, the happiness in their hearts seemed to be overflowing. Shen Xiangyan kissed the little husband whose mouth was still covered with broken chestnuts, and then continued his feeding work.

When it was Haishi, Xia Rong had already started to nod a little sleepy, too, usually at this time, the two of them would have already gone to bed, it's no wonder Xia Rong's biological clock is not sleepy at this point. Shen Xiangyan nodded Xia Rong's little nose, and asked with a smile, "Rong'er, how about I carry you back to sleep first?"

Xia Rong, who was awakened, had a face full of disapproval, hugging Xianggong's neck and not letting go, the sign of rejection was very obvious, "No, I want to watch the new year with Xianggong."

"Okay, okay, Rong'er won't sleep, let's watch the new year together." This night he also selfishly wanted Rong'er to watch with him, in case Xia Rong was dozing off, Shen Xiangyan asked He Xin to get some fireworks sticks Come, a few people set off fireworks in the yard.

Until he heard the melodious sound of twelve bells striking in the distance, Xia Rong dropped the firework stick that was still burning in his hand and ran towards him. Shen Xiangyan heard Xia Rong shout "Happy New Year" to him in his slightly soft voice amidst the background sound of firecrackers getting louder. Shen Xiangyan heard his own heartbeat clearly at this moment, that voice was So fast and powerful, like a deer running on flat ground, hugging Xia Rong who was running over, he heard his own voice, "Rong'er, thank you, happy new year."

Xia Rong was carried into the house by his husband, and when he was put on the bed, he was still thinking about what the new year gift his husband would give him. Just now, when Shen Xiangyan picked up Xia Rong, he whispered in his ear that there was something to be a New Year gift. give him. Seeing that Shen Xiangyan took out a key from the small cabinet of his dressing table, used the key to open a hidden compartment on the side of the bed, and took out an inconspicuous pear wood box, Xia Rong looked at the box with Full of doubts.

"Rong'er, this is our family's property, and it will be handed over to you for safekeeping." After speaking, he took out a smaller key from the dark green bamboo-style purse that Xia Rong embroidered for him, and put it together with Xia Rong. hands.

Xia Rong was a little curious and used a small key to open the copper lock on the pear wood box. Inside were five silver notes of one thousand taels and three of one hundred taels, as well as the title deed of the yard where he lived now and the family members of the house. death deed.

Xia Rong stared at the pile of things with wide-eyed cat eyes. There was so much money in the family, and Xia Rong, who was startled, closed the wooden box, "Master, these Rongs are out of control, you are the one who cares about it." Let it go."

Shen Xiangyan put his **** on Xia Rong's lips and made a "shh" gesture, "Good boy, other women are scrambling to take care of this, why come to my husband, I have to hand it in on my own initiative, And don't want to."

Xia Rong looked embarrassed, and wanted to continue to evade, so she heard Shen Xiangyan continue, "Besides, this is my New Year's gift to Rong'er, and after the husband makes money, I will give it to Rong'er, and Rong'er will give it all to Rong'er." How about saving it up?"

Seeing that Xia Rong didn't speak, "Rong'er, you don't like my gift?"

"not me…"

"Since it's not, it means Rong'er that you accept it. Don't go back on your word. In the future, remember to send me pocket money regularly." Shen Xiangyan continued patiently, "Rong'er, think about it. If you need money, can you not give it to me?" Xia Rong immediately shook her head, "In this case, it doesn't matter who keeps the box, right?"

Xia Rong was so fooled that he had no choice but to accept the box, thinking in his heart that he was just keeping it for Xianggong, and when Xianggong needed money, he would definitely give it to Xianggong. Lock the box again, put it back in the dark compartment, put one of the keys back on the dressing table, and hide the other next to your body. After doing all this, Xia Rong thought to herself that it was lucky that the secret compartment was in the bed, otherwise he would really have to worry about sleeping.

That night, Shen Xiangyan hugged Xia Rong and waited for the person in his arms to fall asleep, but he still didn't feel sleepy at all. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, it was just that he couldn't sleep because of his physical problems. Shen Xiangyan smelled the smell of Xia Rong in his arms, and looked at the curtains on the bed with wide eyes. Why did he eat the plate of venison on the table so much? He ate so much, it was killing him. Originally, just hugging and kissing every night was enough for him to bear, but this time he just took it upon himself.

The helpless Young Master Shen had no choice but to get up carefully to avoid waking Xia Rong up. After going to the screen, I was relieved once, and then I went to bed and continued to sleep with Xia Rong in my arms. Before I fell asleep, I was still thinking that this kind of aphrodisiac thing should not be touched before my husband grows up. No way.
