Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband - Chapter 33

The wind blows through the treetops and makes a rustling sound. In the afternoon of broad daylight, the mountains and forests are unusually quiet, only a few birdsong can be heard from a distance from time to time. Shen Xiangyan squatted down in front of a Biyincao, and carefully dug out its roots and showed it to Xia Rong. This Biyincao has slender twigs and rhombus-shaped leaves symmetrically. When it blooms, two flower buds will grow side by side each time. The flower has a special fragrance and is an auxiliary spice commonly used in perfumery.

Xia Rong took the plant carefully, and after listening to Xianggong’s detailed explanation, she became more and more curious about the plants that produced different smells that she saw along the way. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong’s way of lowering his head to examine Biyincao seriously. His black hair was like ink, his eyebrows were soft, and his heart became softer. Putting the Biyincao in Xia Rong’s hand into the basket behind him, there were already many different plants in the basket, and there were even a few wild fruits that didn’t look very good.

After putting it away, Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong and continued walking into the mountain. There are still many interesting things in this mountain. He Xin, He Miao, who came out to serve, and two elder guards have been following ten steps away from the two masters. This is just to ensure that the relationship between the two masters will not be disturbed, and they can wait for orders at any time.

In his previous life, when Shen Xiangyan and his teacher were learning how to make incense, the teacher was also an interesting person, unlike the ordinary teacher who only knew how to teach books, he would take his group of students to live in the mountains for a while every year, ranging from a month to a few months. For two months, teach them to recognize these different wild plant spices. After waking up in this different time and space this time, he would also like to thank this teacher for his teaching, otherwise he would have been limited to some extent even if he had incense-making skills when he suddenly came here where the technology was backward.

After walking a few steps, I saw a mountain red fruit tree in front of me. This is also a common wild fruit in the mountains. It just so happens that this season the tree also bears many bright red fruits. Shen Xiangyan hurriedly stepped forward to pick one, wiped it carefully with his sleeve before handing it to Xia Rong, and then picked one himself to taste.

Xia Rong took a bite of the mountain red fruit, and immediately frowned with sour brows. After the sourness passed, a faint sweet and fruity taste filled her mouth.

Shen Xiangyan smiled lightly and said, “Is it a little sour? When you go back and dip it in sugar, it will be the same as candied haws. You will like it when you eat it again.” As he said that, he picked a lot more and put them in the basket behind him.

The two of them walked around the surrounding area once and even the sun was about to set. Seeing that Xia Rong was a little tired, they turned back. After all, they were going deep into the mountains. He took his husband in case he encountered a wild beast But it’s troublesome. On the way back, seeing that Xia Rong was a little tired and listless, without the vivacity of the road when he came, Shen Xiangyan casually made a grass dragonfly for Xia Rong out of the weeds on the roadside, and after handing it to Xia Rong, he squatted down again. She smiled and said, “Come on, Rong’er, I will carry you for my husband.”

Xia Rong had long since lost the excitement she had when she first came out, and now she only felt pain in the soles of her feet when she walked. Seeing that Xianggong was going to carry him, he bit his lips and hesitated for a while, and finally wrapped his hands around his neck with joy, and jumped onto his back with his small body. Of course, he still didn’t forget to hold on to the grass dragonfly that Xianggong wove for him just now. This grass dragonfly was very delicately woven, and Xia Rong liked it very much.

When they arrived at the villa, Xia Rong had already fallen asleep on Shen Xiangyan’s back. Shen Xiangyan carried the man back into the room in a funny way, and gently put him on the bed. With such a big movement, the little husband should have woken up even if he was careful, but he just hummed twice and went back to sleep .

Shen Xiangyan didn’t care about him, he just pulled a strip of brocade to cover him, and then looked under the bed. When Xia Rong came back just now, his walking posture was not right. Shen Xiangyan was afraid that Xia Rong’s feet would be worn out, so he took off his shoes uneasy, and put his socks on again. I saw that a pair of feet that should have been white and tender were slightly red at this time. Shen Xiangyan held up a little foot and looked at it, and saw that it was only slightly swollen, and it was not a serious problem, so he was relieved.

Xia Rong’s little feet were flawless in white jade, delicate and lovely, and after walking for so long, they didn’t smell a little bit, but they were clean, and they were still soft and fleshy when held. In the name of massage, Shen Xiangyan played with it a lot, and after rubbing both jade feet, he reluctantly tucked his feet into place.

—————

The next day Xia Rong was woken up by hunger, and he had already fallen asleep at dinner last night. Seeing that he was fast asleep, Shen Xiangyan could only give up and let him sleep soundly if he didn’t wake up after calling twice.

After having a full breakfast, Shen Xiangyan wanted to discuss some matters with the steward in the village. Xia Rong didn’t want to move, but remembered the small bamboo grove in the backyard, and asked He Xin to pack a table and put it beside the bamboo grove, and also asked him to prepare some needed drawing paper boxes, pens and inks.

After finishing all this, Xia Rong began to draw on the bamboos in the forest, and Xia Rong’s paintings were only considered to be enlightened. This was taught to him by his father when he was alive. Unfortunately, when he was learning painting, his father was already ill, and he was powerless to teach him. In the end, he just learned the beginning.

When Shen Xiangyan came, he didn’t disturb Xia Rong, and stood behind him and watched silently. Even though he doesn’t know how to paint, he can still tell the good from the bad. Although Xia Rong’s ink bamboo brushwork is a bit immature and weak, the bamboo leaves he draws have a sense of windlessness and automaticity, which is quite a bit spirituality.

After Xia Rong made the last stroke, Shen Xiangyan asked aloud, “Does Rong’er like to draw?”

Xia Rong was taken aback, and found that Xianggong was behind her, and forgot to answer Xianggong’s question, so she quickly stretched out her hand to block the ink bamboo painting just now. He didn’t draw well, so he didn’t want to show Xianggong.

Shen Xiangyan looked at him with amused look at his stupid look of blocking the top but not the bottom, and reminded, “Don’t block it, my husband saw it just now.”

Xia Rong smashed the pot and spread the painting back on the table, not covering it up anymore.

Shen Xiangyan stretched out his hand and tapped Xia Rong’s forehead, “After you go back, can Mr. Xiang ask you a master who can teach you how to draw?”

After Xia Rong heard this, she looked up at her husband in shock. Does this mean to let him learn to paint? Xia Rong’s heart was pounding, is it really possible? Then can he also draw beautiful pictures like Dad?

“Why, don’t you like drawing, or don’t you want to learn?” Seeing that Xia Rong only stared at him with cat eyes wide, but didn’t say a word, he didn’t need to guess and knew that this was because he didn’t know where his mind was wandering, so he asked again once.

Xia Rong hurriedly shook her head and said, “No, no, no, I like it and want to learn.” Xia Rong was a little embarrassed but hurriedly expressed it.

Shen Xiangyan nodded in satisfaction, since Xia Rong has this talent, it’s good to learn. It’s not about how well he learns in the end, even if he has something to do at home, it’s good to pass the time.

The two of them were chatting here, when a little girl in front brought a letter, Shen Xiangyan turned his head when he heard the movement, and saw He Xin stepped forward to take the letter from the little girl and delivered it.

Shen Xiangyan opened the letter, read it at a glance, smiled helplessly after reading it, and handed the letter to Xia Rong, “It looks like we can’t stay longer, pack up and go see Brother Gu tomorrow.”

After reading the letter, Xia Rong was a little worried. She didn’t know how Brother Gu was doing now, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. It turned out that this letter was written by Lu Tingsheng. The letter said that Gu Chen was so angry that he got pregnant a few days ago. He was afraid that Gu Chen had something on his mind that no one could talk to. He wanted to invite Xia Rong to accompany Gu Chen for two days, and he also wanted Xia Rong to make peace. The letter also said that Shen Xiangyan could come together as a guest if he was not at ease. Although Brother Lu said in the letter that the doctor had read it and said that it was fetal gas, but it was not a serious problem, he was still afraid that something might happen to Brother Gu and the baby in his stomach, so he couldn’t help complaining why Lu Tingsheng didn’t Take good care of Brother Gu who is pregnant.

“Don’t worry, Brother Lu also said that the doctor has already seen it. Although Brother Gu said he was pregnant, he should cultivate well and nothing will happen.” Seeing that Xia Rong was worried, Shen Xiangyan couldn’t help persuading him, but in his heart he felt that Lu Tingsheng didn’t explain clearly in the letter, so there must be something hidden, and this concealment is the reason that caused Gu Chen to move his fetus. Could it be that Lu Tingsheng cheated, but if he cheated, there shouldn’t be this letter asking Xia Rong to rescue him.

Shen Xiangyan’s guess was actually not completely wrong. It turned out that there were two maids sent over by Lu’s mother in the Zhuangzi where Lu Tingsheng was taking care of. But Lu Tingsheng has never intended to take concubines, and he has had a deep relationship with Gu Chen since he was a child. Naturally, the two maids sent were sent to serve at a place far away from the masters, so the two masters usually Can’t see them.

Afterwards, Gu Chen reported that there was a happy event. When Lu’s mother saw that she had a child, she knew that the two had a good relationship, so she didn’t care about her son’s affairs. But one of the two girls named Xiaoyu stripped herself naked and sent her to Lu Tingsheng during the period when Gu Chen was pregnant and they had to sleep separately.

Lu Tingsheng originally wanted to drive people away, but just as he spoke, Gu Chen pushed the door open and entered. What Gu Chen saw at the time was that girl whose clothes were disheveled and wanted to stick them on Lu Tingsheng’s body, and she was so angry that she was immediately moved. After the doctors had left, when Lu Tingsheng explained to Gu Chen, Gu Chen had already started to feel uncomfortable. I ignored him, and after that, he stayed low for a few days and didn’t see Gu Chen talking to him.

It’s not that Lu Tingsheng was really anxious about this, and he didn’t dare to force Gu Chen to deal with him, so he took the initiative to write this letter to ask Xia Rong to be the rescuer.
