MTL - Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband-Chapter 2
Seeing that Xia Rong nodded in agreement to call him Rong'er, Shen Xiangyan was about to get up to fetch water, but before he could get up, Xia Rong grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.
"Master, Rong'er can fetch water." His eyes were firm. Xia Rong often did these housework when he was in Xia's house. If Xianggong knew that he could do the work, he wouldn't mind if he ate too much.
"I don't need Rong'er for these. I will let my husband do this kind of work in the future. Rong'er, I just need to sit here and wait for my husband." Although it is autumn, the weather has just started to be cold after an autumn rain And how could he let Xia Rong do this at such a late hour.
When Shen Xiangyan came in with water, Xia Rong was undoing the corolla from her hair in front of the dressing table. Seeing his hard work, Shen Xiangyan stepped forward to help him. Finally, when he smoothed Xia Rong's hair with a wooden comb, he felt Xia Rong's hair slipping through Shen Xiangyan's fingertips.
After the two of them washed up and went to bed, because the red candles could not be extinguished on the wedding night, Shen Xiangyan clearly saw a person who buried himself under the quilt with only the top of his hair exposed. Looking at the person under the quilt from a close distance, he still trembled slightly, Shen Xiangyan chuckled, he was still a child after all, he would be afraid to marry someone he had never met before.
However, Shen Xiangyan didn't want to be so unfamiliar on the first night of the wedding. After all, he wanted to come a little bit, so let's start with hugging and sleeping. Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyan stretched out his hand to put Xia Rong in his arms, letting him lean against his arms Feeling the stiffness and coldness of the person in his arms, Shen Xiangyan frowned, and gently comforted him with his hands around his back, and then covered him tightly with the quilt.
"Rong'er, tell me about Dad."
"Dad, Rong'er was still young when Dad left, and Rong'er only remembered that Dad could draw beautiful pictures and tell Rong'er stories, Dad was so gentle and gentle."
"That's right, then Mr. Xiang will also tell you stories in the future, okay?"
"Really?"
"Really." Looking down, he saw Xia Rong's eyes shining brightly. Shen Xiangyan had never been stared at like this before. He kissed those beautiful eyes as if fascinated. After the kiss, he coughed lightly and slowly talked about Snow White. The story is just an adaptation of Snow White, the princess has become twins, the prince is still a prince, and of course they are happy together in the end. Feeling the slowly relaxing body of the person in his arms, Shen Xiangyan knew that he was telling the right story.
After the story was finished, Xia Rong was about to fall asleep. Shen Xiangyan looked at the burning of the red candle, and then adjusted the position so that Xia Rong could sleep in his arms more comfortably. It's a little bit, and he murmured softly "Go to sleep" and fell asleep with someone in his arms.
————
Xia Rong woke up in Shen Xiangyan's arms early the next morning, thinking of her husband's gentle kiss last night, Xia Rong blushed a little embarrassed for some reason. In fact, before Xia Rong got married, only his mother casually threw him a little book like pre-marital **** education, and didn't tell him what it was. Xia Rong had little contact with people since he was a child, and his temperament was simple. He hid the book in the bottom of the box in shock after reading the first page, and didn't even read it. So Xia Rong is still ignorant about the bridal chamber until now. Shen Xiangyan He didn't want him last night, so naturally he didn't feel anything wrong.
Shen Xiangyan had actually woken up early, he had the habit of getting up early, but he didn't dare to move around for fear of disturbing the person in his arms, but what he didn't expect was that this villain would wake up so early. Seeing that Xia Rong had no intention of continuing to sleep, the two washed up and got up.
Shen Xiangyan's house is a small courtyard with two entrances that is not too big. The first entrance is the outer courtyard, which is only half the size of an ordinary courtyard and can only be used to entertain guests. Where they live now, apart from the kitchen, the east wing is a study room, and the west wing has been converted into an incense room by him. There are most of the common spices in it. These are left over from the family's previous incense making business, but since Shen's father passed away and Shen's mother was seriously ill, so there was no one in the family to take care of the business, and the small shop left by Shen's father had already closed down.
After Shen Xiangyan woke up in this body, he was ready to continue the incense making business. He believed that his skills and the incense making recipes he mastered would surely allow him and Rong'er to live a good life.
He cooked the breakfast, simple vegetable porridge with lean meat and a few delicious side dishes. The taste of Shen Xiangyan's cooking is still good. After all, he has always lived alone in the original world, so it is impossible to eat outside all the time. It has been a long time Learn to fire yourself. Seeing Xia Rong eating his food deliciously, Shen Xiangyan smiled inwardly, it seems that he really married a snack guy.
"After dinner in a while, Rong'er and I will go out together. We need to buy some things at home. Rong'er will also think about what he needs, and my husband will also buy it for you." Xia Rong only brought a box when she came in. Things, Shen Xiangyan took a rough look at the things when he opened them this morning. There were only a few old clothes and some odds and ends, which should be some clothes and jewelry for him. The saving needs to be saved, but he doesn't want Xia Rong to be wronged by him, and besides, he is going to reopen the family shop, and money will always be earned.
"Can Rong'er go to the streets with my husband? Rong'er doesn't lack anything, and she doesn't need to buy anything." With twinkling eyes, she looked like a puppy coquettish with her master. As for the second street, when they heard that Shen Xiangyan wanted to take him there, they naturally reacted violently.
"Of course we can. Let's go together later." As for what Xia Rong said was not lacking, he chose to ignore it.
After eating and resting for a while, Shen Xiangyan led Xia Rong to the market area of the town, and bought two catties of pork, one catty of beef, one crucian carp and fifty eggs, and rice noodles at home. Buy these back. I also wanted to nourish Xia Rong's body, I could feel his bones while holding him last night, he was still too thin. Seeing a shop selling cakes in front of him, he remembered that Xia Rong liked to eat them, so he took him to buy a few and asked the store to wrap them in oiled paper.
Afterwards, he took Xia Rong to Jinxiufang, the best clothes seller in the town, and bought two sets of ready-made clothes for Xia Rong, one in light yellow and one in blue. The old tailor in the village measured Xia Rong's figure, decided on the style of clothes, and asked the tailor to make some warmer clothes for out-of-season wear, and agreed to pick them up in two days. Originally, he wanted to buy some underwear for Xia Rong, but with a blushing face, Xia Rong tugged at his sleeve and said that he could do it himself. Shen Xiangyan didn't expect Xia Rong to be so virtuous and could make clothes , I bought two more plain-colored but nice-to-hand fabrics for Xia Rong to make by herself.
In fact, Xia Rong's needlework wasn't particularly good, but Xia Rong was too shy to ask her husband, who had only been together for more than a day, to buy him close-fitting clothes, so she offered to say that she could do it.
After buying these, Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong to the place where the government is in charge of the population trading. Fengyu Country's population trading is all intermediary by the government, so you can feel more at ease buying people from here. Shen Xiangyan wanted to buy someone to help him look after the shop. Although it is okay to hire a worker, the person who bought it should be at ease. After counting the money left in his hand, he spent about a tael of silver on food just now. It cost six taels to buy clothes and fabrics for Xia Rong. It may be more expensive to buy someone who can write and do simple accounts, but twenty taels is enough, and the remaining money can support his recent turnover.
In the end, Shen Xiangyan picked a 20-year-old man, who seemed to be quite honest. They were all sold, and Shen Xiangyan took over his contract of sale, and changed his name to Shen An.
Afterwards, he led the way to the Shen family's shop. The shop had been closed for nearly a year. The shop was not big, but the location was good. The shop was divided into three rooms by the inside and outside. Greet ordinary guests, if there are distinguished guests, you can still use the inner room to entertain guests, and the other room can be tidied up for Shen An temporarily.
He had already tidied up the shop briefly before, and now he needed Shen An to see what he needed and buy it briefly. Shen Xiangyan also told Shen An to come to the house tomorrow to pick up some fragrant pills, fragrant cakes, etc. that he had recently prepared, and left Shen An two taels of silver for him to solve by himself.
After finishing these things, it was almost noon, and Xia Rong was tired after following him around for such a morning, so she dragged him home at a faster pace. On the way back, he saw a seller of candied haws, Shen Xiangyan saw Xia Rong glanced at the candied haws seller, then smiled and led him over there.
"How do you sell candied haws?"
"This young master, two cents apiece, buy one for your husband."
"Then get one." Shen Xiangyan paid the money, and chose a particularly large hawthorn, which was dipped in the most sugar, and handed it to Xia Rong.
Xia Rong took the candied haws, lowered her head, and couldn't help feeling annoyed at whether she had acted too obviously just now. Before she got married, she heard from her mother and father that the Xianggong's family is not as good as before. Today, she bought someone and spent so much money on herself. Don't buy these if you ask your husband.
"What's the matter, Rong'er, why didn't you eat it?" Shen Xiangyan asked after seeing Xia Rong took the candied haws and didn't eat them for a long time, with an obviously preoccupied look.
"Sanggong, when I was a child, I heard from my father that it is better to be frugal in life, that next time I don't need to buy so many things for Rong'er..." Xia Rong thought for a while, but she still had the courage to speak out her thoughts.
"Oh, my little husband is actually so virtuous, and he will definitely be a good family in the future, Enen, but don't worry, it will be fine for me to raise you as your husband-in-law." Speaking of which, she reached out and tapped Xia Rong's little nose, "Let's leave it to the husband to make money and support the family. Rong'er doesn't have to worry." Rong'er was afraid that the family would run out of money. Seeing the villain's courage and courage, she looked at him worriedly after saying this, Shen Xiangyan stretched out her hand I touched my nose, and for some reason I thought it was really cute.
Taking the little husband back home, Shen Xiangyan was going to make braised crucian carp in braised sauce, boiled beef, and a cold salad with three shreds, tomato and egg drop soup with white rice. The little husband would definitely like it.
Seeing that Xianggong was going to cook in the kitchen again, Xia Rong hurriedly expressed the idea that she could do it and let Xianggong go to rest, but Shen Xiangyan refused. But at Xia Rong's insistence, Shen Xiangyan still agreed to let him fight. Well, in the end, we Xia Rong was assigned to set the dishes and try food. Of course, he was not allowed to serve the plates with hot dishes. Shen Xiangyan was afraid that he would accidentally burn his hands, so he directly served them on the table first.
