Taoyu always felt that every time Huo Shu pressed down, there was a sense of overwhelming oppression, like the mountain was falling, as if it could kill someone.
He was a little nervous and scared at first, but once he became familiar with it, he became less afraid of danger.
Huo Shu was also patient, not impatient or rude, but...gentle and meticulous, which was completely different from his usual acting style.
When they first got married, Taoyu was afraid of the pain, but she didn't resist doing this with Huo Shu. The contrast between Huo Shu and Huo Shu made him like it. Only he knew that he still had such a side.
People will always be complacent about their own specialness.
Afterwards, things happened. Although he still felt a little pain, Huo Shu seemed to know the taste after eating the marrow. He always had intentions when the two of them were alone.
Unfortunately, their intention was never realized, and they soon went on a business trip. The bumpy journey and the fatigue of traveling and traveling distracted most of Taoyu's energy, but Huo Shu always exercised restraint.
Although when he set up camp, it was like a wild beast returning to the mountains, which actually aroused some of Huo Shu's bestial nature, but he still cared about him and didn't go too far.
This time Taoyu let Huo Shu play with his arms and legs, and he was very obedient.
But there wasn't much to play with, so they just went head-on.
He was able to adapt, and Huo Shu seemed quite satisfied.
Huo Shu noticed something unusual about his little brother today.
Although Taoyu has always been very obedient, after all, under his strength, there is no resistance that can be called resistance, it is just for fun.
But he can still distinguish between passive obedience and active obedience.
His broad hand covered Taoyu's slightly undulating belly, neither moving up nor down, but it actually made people feel itchy.
Taoyu's skin is delicate, soft and smooth. His rough hands have pulled the sharp reins and held cold weapons, but they have never touched such skin. For this reason, every time he touches Taoyu, he can feel... My whole body felt like it was electric for a moment.
He was not ashamed to admit that when he picked up Taoyu from the water and held it around his waist, he became interested when he looked at the fair, quiet and fragile face.
But interest is interest, and what makes him willingly meddle in his own business is his temperament and person.
"Even if you follow it, you won't be able to get there quickly."
Huo Shu looked at the person under him and explained to him first.
Taoyu's face turned slightly red. He had just said hurry up and told him to hurry up and stop wasting time. She knew that he couldn't get things done quickly.
He whispered: "I know."
"I mean... you can do it two more times."
Taoyu's face was very red. Looking at Huo Shu's wolf-like eyes, he immediately changed his mind: "Once, one more time."
The two were so close that they heard Huo Shu's faint laughter.
"Can you bear it?"
Taoyu grabbed the corners of the quilt, her eyes wandering.
It has been more than half a year since they got married. Now they have returned home and are making money.
He felt... felt it was time to have a cub.
I don't say I need it urgently, but I can still ask for it.
However, he did not say these words, and only responded with a slight trembling: "Yes."
Huo Shu's chest rose and fell deeply, feeling that he was going crazy.
Fortunately, he had a cold face, so that he could not see the turmoil inside.
But his eager and impulsive actions betrayed him a bit.
After a while, Huo Shu suddenly calmed down.
"Do you still have the thing Tianyin gave you last time?"
Tao Yu was in dire straits, but the person on her body stopped moving. His mind was a little confused: "Huh?"
But after a moment, he thought again: "It's in the box, why are you asking this?"
"Don't waste someone's good intentions."
Huo Shu got up from the bed and didn't go to where the box was.
Taoyu's eyes fell on Huo Shu's long, well-proportioned and powerful legs. Her mind was confused for a moment, but she soon regained consciousness: "Aren't you too young?"
Huo Shu quickly returned to Taoyu. The things in the box were not evenly made, so he picked a big one.
Taoyu felt dizzy that something was wrong, and was about to say something, but Huo Shu didn't give him a chance to speak.
The rare summer wind blew by, making the peach leaves rustle, as if he was a little shy, trying to cover up the people in the house.
When Taoyu woke up, she saw that the room was already a little dark.
The setting sun only left a little glow, falling on the windowsill, and the light gradually faded.
He rubbed his eyes. He was already alone on the bed.
I don't know what time it is now.
However, the days are already long in the summer months, and it is also the time when the sun is setting.
His mouth was as dry as a dehydrated river fish. He wanted to drink some water. He sat up with his tired body and immediately hissed.
His whole body felt like it was falling apart, and a sour taste filled his whole body.
He slowly moved off the bed, stuffed his shoes into his feet, and stood up thinking he had nothing to do. However, as soon as he got off the shoe table in front of the bed, his legs went weak and he threw himself towards the ground.
After a thud, before Taoyu could call out, the door was pushed open.
Huo Shu almost rushed in and quickly picked up Taoyu who was lying on the ground.
"How's it going? Did you fall?"
Taoyu pursed her lips and gave Huo Shu a push: "What do you think?"
Huo Shu gently placed the person on the couch and lit a candle in the room.
He quickly opened Taoyu's medicine box, took the medicine from it, and hurried over.
Taoyu rolled up her wrinkled pants and knelt on her knees, already blushing heavily.
Huo Shu frowned even more. He poured the medicated oil into his hands, rubbed it to warm it, and then gently applied it to Taoyu's skin.
"Why didn't you call me?"
"Who told you not to watch me wake up?"
Taoyu said a little coquettishly.
"I stayed with you for a while. When I saw that you didn't wake up, I went out."
Taoyu pulled up his trousers. If the two of them slept in the room until this hour, it would be groundless speculation.
He didn't say anything. Seeing Huo Shu's distressed look, he said: "The skin is not broken, it's okay."
Taoyu pulled up the legs of his trousers a little high, and was surprised when he suddenly saw a bruise the size of a fingertip on his leg.
Pushing his pants further, he gasped.
There are a lot of bruises on the inner thighs, large and small, and they become more numerous as you go up.
It's no more serious than the knee.
Taoyu blushed and quickly lowered her pants to cover her face. He raised his eyebrows and patted the back of Huo Shu's hand: "Look at how harsh you are!"
Huo Shu also looked at his own masterpiece. He let Taoyu lose his temper, but he didn't expect that he just used some force.
"I'll give you some medicine and rub the bruises away."
Taoyu stared at Huo Shu to see if he had any evil intentions when he said this. Seeing that he was really sincere, she allowed him to apply the medicine.
His legs were sore, and he rubbed them with moderate force, which made him feel a little relieved, but he still pursed his lips.
It was clearly because he wanted to have a baby that he allowed Huo Shu to do it a few more times, but in the end...
Taoyu lowered her eyes and looked at Huo Shu, who was applying medicine to him with his head lowered, and said, "Don't use that in the future."
"What's wrong, you don't like it?"
"No, I just..."
Before Taoyu finished speaking, she heard noise coming from outside.
He raised his eyebrows and stopped talking: "Who is coming?"
"Third aunt."
Huo Shu said lightly. In the afternoon, he asked Huo Shou to take the horse to Ji Wenliang for approval. He stopped by Zhao's house to have a look and gave Yuan Huiru some money.
When he came back, he saw Ji Wangju coming over. He didn't know what was going on. When he came back, he was in a hurry to go into the house to take a look at Taoyu, so he didn't pay attention.
Taoyu immediately stopped applying the medicine after hearing this: "Go out and take a look, and you can get some clothes."
Huo Shu frowned: "The medicine hasn't been applied yet."
"After you take a shower at night, apply it again."
Huo Shu had nothing to do with him, so he took some clothes, put them on for him, and led him out.
"Of all the people in the house, Xiao Liu's son-in-law is the most capable. I heard he made a lot of money this time."
Ji Wangju changed her usual dissatisfied attitude. For the first time, she did not praise Yuan Fei's family, but actually talked about the good life of Ji Yangzong's family.
Huang Manjing was cooking and looked at the man standing in the kitchen with his hands folded.
She said: "What did the third sister say? In terms of profit, it can't be compared with how many people live in the house. The cost of their trip is high and the expenses are high. Once the wages of the people under my command are paid, there is not much money left."
"Sister-in-law, you are being humble. There is no need for our family to be secretive. Didn't your son-in-law come back with a lot of horses?"
Ji Wangju said: "Take it to the city and sell it, and you may get a lot of money. My family said that horses are now very valuable in Tongzhou, and one horse must be worth dozens of taels or hundreds of dollars at least."
Speaking of this, Ji Wangju couldn't help but feel jealous, and both father and son were filled with excitement when they talked about horses.
When Huang Manjing heard this, she roughly figured out why Ji Wangju came here.
She said bluntly: "No matter whether it is sold for dozens of taels or hundreds of taels, this is something the children brought back, and his father and I have no intention of getting involved."
Ji Wangju said: "Isn't this a pretentious proposal to marry Yuan Fei? If there are two big animals at home, it will be easier for the matchmaker to negotiate."
"You see there are so many horses in your house, so just bring two to support the children."
The words were finally put aside.
Huang Manjing was about to refute when Huo Shu and Tao Yu came out.
"Brother Tao, you came at the right time. Your mother was talking to me about the horses."
"What, third aunt wants a horse?"
Ji Wangju immediately said after hearing this: "That's right, if your cousin wants to marry you, it would be better if there is a horse at home. It would be more scenic to ride a horse when you pick up the bride. The girl and the brother think about their dignity, so they would rather not be married." ."
"It's a good thing that Third Aunt thinks so."
Tao Yu said: "San Gu came at the right time. Ah Shu will contact someone to sell horses tomorrow. Among my family, San Gu will choose the ones he is satisfied with first."
Ji Wangju didn't expect Taoyu to be so easy to talk to, so she hurriedly said: "I'll only look at two horses, and don't want more. It won't be easy for you to come back all the way with so many horses. When the time comes, I'll just have one for your uncle, and one for your cousin." enough."
Tao Yu said: "I heard from my father that cousin Yuan Fei and his uncle went out and made a lot of money when they came back. It seems to be true. They were able to buy two horses at once. It seems that they will have a wedding with my cousin this year."
He didn't wait for Ji Wangju to say more, and then said: "My family doesn't want any price, so I just treat it as if it was brought back from the Northern Territory with help. Fifty taels for each horse, and the third aunt wants two horses for one hundred taels. Since Take your pick."
Ji Wangju's eyes almost popped out of her eyes when she heard the price. If she had so much money, why would she buy a horse? Food, drink, and clothing would be better than anything else.
She couldn't help but frown: "Brother Tao, what do you mean? How can my family keep talking about money?"
"Third aunt, Ah Shu and I are businessmen now. What can a businessman say if he doesn't talk about money?"
Taoyu said: "Even if we are not in business, and we don't have to pay for food and drinks, do you and the people in the restaurants in the city say that our family can eat and drink for free? We still have food and drinks under our hands." With so many people, they won't be able to eat or drink."
Ji Wangju said angrily: "You need money from me, why don't you give the horse to Wen Liang? He doesn't need money at his place, they are all brothers and sisters, Brother Tao, you are showing favoritism to one another! I'm going to ask you Dad, what's the point of this?"
Taoyu expected that his third aunt would come to cause trouble, and she probably saw Wenliang's horse.
He said calmly: "Wen Liang went out with the caravan for four months and worked diligently along the way. This horse is his wages."
"What is Third Aunt saying about favoring one over another? Then cousin Yuan Fei went out with the uncle's work team. When he came back, the uncle gave him money, but he didn't give it to us nephews and nieces. According to Third Aunt, the same is true for the uncle?"
"How can this be the same!"
"What's different?"
Taoyu also imitated Ji Wangju's shameless saying: "According to Sangu's wishes, I'm going to ask my uncle what he means."
Ji Wangju also pointed out that Yuan Fei continued to work with his eldest brother's work team, but it was not easy to cause trouble and the job would be lost.
She glared at the sharp-tongued Taoyu, turned around and was about to talk to Huang Manjing, but Huang Manjing left the kitchen room before her: "Third sister, please sit down casually and chat with the children. I'll go to the ground and pull out two more spring onions." ."
"Where's Xiaoliu? Where did Xiaoliu go?"
Taoyu said: "My father has gone to the mountains. If third aunt wants anything, just tell me. When father comes back, he won't care about the horses. Ah Shu has the final say."
Seeing that Ji Wangju had no choice but to let go, she changed her subject and said, "Brother Tao has become more capable now that he is married, which is great!"
Tao Yuhui said with a strange look: "No, after all, you are getting older. But if you want to be as capable as the third aunt, you still have to learn."
"I still don't believe that without those two broken horses, our Yuan Fei wouldn't be called a good girl and brother!"
Ji Wangju cursed angrily and walked away angrily after touching Hui's nose.
Seeing the person leave, Taoyu was not happy and said: "I dare not be more greedy. I just want two horses. I really think I have such a big face."
Huo Shu never spoke. He couldn't waste time on such a trivial household matter, so the solution was to just lift the person and throw him out.
It's just that this method obviously doesn't work here. The Ji family is prosperous and there are many conflicts.
Almost every big family has these difficult-to-recite sutras, but no matter how fierce the quarrel is, they can only do it behind closed doors. If the quarrel goes outside, it is one thing for others to talk about it, which makes people feel that there is no unity among the whole family. If you are careful, you will take advantage of the many problems in the field business.
However, this is Ji Yangzong's way of life. It is reasonable, but it also has disadvantages.
In this way, the family has become accustomed to doing nothing but talking.
Taoyu said: "When I came back, I sent things to the homes of these uncles and aunts. Since she is not satisfied yet, she will not be able to get any benefits from our home when I am here in the future."
In the future, let her kick the hard nails a few more times, and then she will know what's going on.
The next day, Huo Shu and Tao Yu didn't even eat breakfast and went to the city together.
The morning on a sunny day in summer is the most comfortable time of the day. The sun has not yet come out and the breeze is blowing, not to mention how comfortable it is.
When they arrived in Fucheng, they went straight to a street stall and ordered a bowl of noodles.
Skipping breakfast at home is just to go out to the city and gorge yourself.
This solar term is the time when Tongzhou eats the most. During the day, there are all kinds of ice soup drinks, such as cold melon, crushed peach, and bayberry. Different kinds of drinks can fill people up several times.
The weather is hot, and although the food eaten on the street is easy to spoil, it is not easy to get cold. Therefore, there are so many kinds of kebabs, fish and shrimps, and braised duck, it is simply dizzying.
In previous years, Taoyu would come to the street with Ji Xingzhuan from Qi Shu's house to eat and stroll, and Wenliang would sometimes follow. The three of them could empty their pockets before going back.
But now Ji Xingzhuan has married to the county town, and his seventh aunt said that the child is now more than four months old.
The last time I saw him was when he came back to his parents' home during the Chinese New Year before going on a business trip.
Now that she has children, Taoyu is happy for Brother Xing, but also a little sad. She doesn't know when she and Huo Shu will have a baby.
He had no intention of going on business with Huo Shu today. He was still feeling a little uncomfortable and was not suitable for doing business at all. He just wanted to eat, drink and have fun.
Thinking that Huo Shu would be busy soon, he was bored by himself, so he originally wanted to ask Wen Liang to come with him.
As a result, after receiving his wages, he went to live happily and happily, and even called Huo Shou there.
I don't know where the two of them went to fool around.
It was a young man of his age who rode out on horseback to show his prowess. If he had taken a good look at a girl earlier, it would have been a big deal to start a family.
"I'll go to Azu's hospital in a while. Come find me when you're done."
peach elm
I didn't plan to hang out with anyone. I hadn't seen him these days and Azu missed him.
Moreover, he could also take the mess of medicinal materials brought back from the road to his Azu.
Huo Shu responded: "After finishing the noodles, I will send you there."
After finishing speaking, Huo Shu, who had an empty bowl of noodles, raised his hand and ordered another bowl.
In the northern region, they eat lasagna, which is delicious; in the south, the noodles are as thin as threads and easy to taste, and Huo Shu has a unique taste when eating them.
Seeing this, Taoyu silently pushed her noodle bowl closer to Huo Shu.
He looked at Huo Shu and blinked: "I can't eat any more."
Huo Shu lowered his eyes and looked at the noodles that he had just eaten a few mouthfuls of, and said, "Take two more bites."
"I want to eat another fresh meat sprout bun."
Huo Shu looked at the eager man and couldn't help pinching his face.
Before he could answer his question, he had already stood up.
So Huo Shu ate two and a half bowls of noodles before sending Tao Yu, who was biting a bun, to the hospital.
When we came out, the sky was clear and the sun was getting high. Huo Shu thought of someone.
He strode towards a place called Jiatang Porcelain Square.
