Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband

Chapter 21

Seeing that his master attached great importance to the visitor, He Xin quickly responded, "Don't worry, master, the guests have already been arranged in the front hall."

After hearing this, Xia Rong felt relieved, and quickly walked to the front hall with the people. As soon as I entered the room, I saw a man dressed in a crimson gown with golden embroidered wishful cloud patterns as a married man sitting side by side. Although the man was wearing bright clothes, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his demeanor seemed contradictory but made people feel I think this is what this person should be.

When Xia Rong saw that person, she called out affectionately, "Brother Gu." Although Gu Chen's appearance made it difficult to get close all of a sudden, the friendship he had known since childhood let Xia Rong know that he was a very gentle person in his heart.

When Gu Chen heard the voice, he turned his head and saw a young man with a flushed face and a little panting because he was rushing over. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the person who came here with a cold face, and said after Xia Rong took his seat, "Rong'er, I just came back with my husband and heard that the Xia family asked you to marry, and I didn't send you off." I came here to look for you because of the invitation, and now you look better than before you were married."

Looking at the young man sitting opposite, with red lips, white teeth, delicate skin, curled up eyelashes like two small fans when sitting there drinking tea with his head down, he is still as cute and cute as before he got married. But this complexion is obviously not a bit better than when he was in Xiafu.

"Brother Gu is worried. Rong'er has a good life in Shen's house, and my husband treats me very well." Xia Rong smiled, and she was a little embarrassed to say that my husband treated him well in front of Gu Chen, "Brother Gu How did the two years go? Will you leave this time when you come back? How is brother-in-law?" Gu Chen married his childhood sweetheart Lu Tingsheng two years ago, and the two hit it off. This Lu Tingsheng has been in poor health since he was a child. Although he has a reputation as a scholar, he has no intention of career. After they got married, they had to take care of Lu Tingsheng's health, so they lived in Zhuangzi to cultivate.

Gu Chen didn't know that he changed the subject, and he didn't mind, "You also know that your brother-in-law's health is not good, but the doctor also said that as long as he is more careful, it will be fine. The reason why he came back this time is because Tingsheng's younger sister is separated from him. He's going to get married in a few days, he, the older brother, has to come back and have a look."

Speaking of this, Gu Chen became serious, "It's you, tell me what's going on with the Xia family. Isn't it Xia Tian who has a marriage contract with the Shen family? Why did you get married in the end?" Xia Rong is younger than him Three years old, fourteen years old, how could such a young Xia family let him marry.

Xia Rong knew that he would ask this question, and didn't hide it, so she talked about how Xia's mother persuaded Xia's father at the beginning, and sent him to the sedan chair regardless of whether he agreed or not. Talk about ruined reputations.

"Brother Gu, I know you care about me, but in fact, I should thank the Xia family. After I got married, I lived a very good life, and my husband-in-law loved me very much. After all, the Xia family raised me for those years. Although I don't resent you now They, but forget about the others." He was just being naive, but he didn't understand anything, when his father ignored him and sent him to the sedan chair, he already had no idea about the family.

Hearing what Xia Rong said, Gu Chen still feels wronged by Xia Rong, what kind of raising method is that, shutting people in the yard and ignoring them, even a servant has a higher status than Xia Rong. Those who are lucky enough to marry don't mind. If Shen Xiangyan hates Xia Rong because the Xia family let Shuang'er marry as his daughter-in-law, then what should he do? It will be Xia Rong who suffers by himself.

Thinking of this, he became worried for Xia Rong again. Shen Xiangyan was not at home this time, and he did not see the person Xia Rong married. Looking at Xia Rong's current appearance, he had a good life, but he didn't know if it was real or fake.

Thinking of himself, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it has been two years since he was married to Lu Tingsheng, and his stomach still hasn't moved at all. The mother-in-law wanted to give her husband a few maids to serve her before. It doesn't matter what kind of service she is. Fortunately, the relationship between her husband and him has always been good, and she pushed those people her mother-in-law gave her, otherwise his life would not be so easy now. The fact that it is difficult for the twins to conceive has always been a knot in his heart. If he can conceive one, he will not be afraid of his mother-in-law's dissatisfaction.

Xia Rong ordered someone to bring a few plates of dim sum that Rong had just made. The two chatted while eating, and talked about a lot of things that happened to each other in the past two years, until Xia Rong unknowingly ate half of the plate of dim sum. , He Xin who was waiting on the side couldn't help but coughed lightly.

Xia Rong heard He Xin's deliberate coughing, looked at the sliced ​​peach cake in her hand, and knew it was a reminder not to eat too much. He put the snack back on the plate with a somewhat sleepy expression.

Gu Chen was a little puzzled what was wrong with him, He Xin took a step forward and lowered his head to explain, "Zhengjun's appetite is small, the young master specially told Zhengjun before leaving that Zhengjun's snacks should be in moderation, otherwise when it's time to eat, you will eat a lot of food." I can't eat anymore."

Gu Chen almost laughed out loud when he heard this, "Your habit of being greedy has not changed, you are an interesting husband."

Xia Rong blushed because of Gu Chen's joke, and said a little angrily, "I'm not a fool if I don't eat something delicious!"

Looking back at this, Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, you are right, we are all stupid."

Afterwards, Xia Rong stayed with Gu Chen for dinner. Xia Rong ate the most after Shen Xiangyan left, until Lu Tingsheng saw that her husband hadn't come back so late and came to Shen's mansion to pick up Gu Chen in person. Talent reluctantly bid farewell. Fortunately, Gu Chen will be living in Furong Town for a while, and the two of them can still see each other a few times, so thinking about it like this is not so uncomfortable.

At night, Xia Rong was lying on the bed covered with a quilt, hugging the pillow that Xianggong had been resting on all the time, thinking in her heart that Xianggong had been away for more than thirty days, and maybe he was on his way back now, thinking of Xia Rong's contented rubbing Rubbing the pillow in his arms, he fell asleep.

—————

Shen Xiangyan was still on the boat going back, but the sound outside the cabin woke him up from his sleep. These days he was outside, and he was used to sleeping with someone in his arms, which made him restless, so whenever there was any movement outside, he would wake up. Then there was a knock on the door, Shen Xiangyan opened the door and saw Shen An standing outside.

"Master, the night watchman saw a man floating in the water, he seemed to be alive, not far from our boat, everyone asked the little one to ask if we want to rescue him." In addition to the six guards he brought In addition to Shen An, there are seven or eight people he hired to transport the goods along the way, and now they are all his people on this ship, so he has to be the master when encountering such things.

"Come up and have a look, after all, it's a human life." Shen Xiangyan put on a coat and then went to the plywood. Seeing that a man in extraordinary clothes was caught up, this man must have been hurt when he fell into the water. What an injury, he's unconscious now. Judging by the man's clothes, saving the man in this situation might mean trouble. But Shen Xiangyan was not a person who would do nothing to save others, although he was a little hesitant, he was still ready to save others.

There was no one with medical skills on board, so someone changed the man into clean clothes, checked the man's condition, and rescued him to the end, Shen Xiangyan thought for a while and ordered, "Find a place to go ashore as soon as possible, and call a doctor when you get ashore come and see."

Two days later, Shen An led the man to report to Shen Xiangyan, saying that the man wanted to thank him face to face after waking up.

When Shen Xiangyan saw the man who came in with Shen An, although his face was pale and his body looked a little weak, but the noble aura that could not be concealed made people know that this man had a lot of background at first sight.

Shen Xiangyan didn't ask about this person's background, he smiled and asked people to sit down, "Young master just woke up, you should have a good rest, why bother to go there yourself."

"Murong Cheng, I still need to thank you in person for saving my life. Today's kindness will be repaid tomorrow." Although it was a thank you word, there was nothing humble in the tone.

Shen Xiangyan waved his hand, "It's Shen's job to save people, and there is no need to repay. I don't know what plans Mr. Murong has in the future?"

Murong Cheng coughed twice because he was still sick, and he replied after he calmed down, "A servant will come to look for me in two days, and I hope Mr. Shen will take me in for a while."

"It's easy to say, Mr. Murong, you're welcome, just tell Shen An if you need anything." Shen Xiangyan pointed to the person who brought him here, and motioned him to come to him if he had anything to do, so you don't have to be polite.

In the next two days, because the boat was boring, Murong Cheng came to talk to Shen Xiangyan when he had nothing to do, chatted and played chess. After a few times, both of them found that they got along quite well with each other, so they didn't continue to come and go. Called each other's name.

On the third day, when Shen Xiangyan wanted to have breakfast with Murong Cheng, he found that he had already left. When I arrived at his previous room, I saw a two-finger-wide silver medal and a note on the bed. The note was Murong Cheng's farewell words. It said that the servants came to look for them. If there was an urgent matter at home, they left first. The silver medal left behind can be exchanged for one hundred thousand taels of silver at Kaiyuan Yinzhuang, which is popular all over the country. Use this silver medal to talk about the watch first. Thank you, and I will repay you in the future.

Shen Xiangyan accepted the silver medal, he just felt that it was a pity to leave a congenial friend, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to meet him in the future, and he didn't take Murong Cheng's words seriously that he would repay him in the future. He didn't hold the purpose of letting people answer him.

Shen Xiangyan walked to the bow of the boat, touched his chest, and said that he could get off the boat tonight, and after getting off the boat, it would take more than four days to get home. Thinking that he would see Xiao Fulang soon, he just wondered how this boat would work It's so slow, I don't know if Rong'er is thinking about himself, but he wished he could fly back first.
