The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 524: Late Night Warmth (Part 1)

When she said this, her chest rose and fell slightly, and although she tried her best to calm her breathing, she was still out of breath, which showed how desperately she was running along the way.

She didn't even have the strength to stand up, that's why she hit the door panel and made that thud.

She didn't want to let Xiao Heng see her distress, so she sat on the hard threshold, leaning against the cold corner with an indifferent look, but she didn't know that her tiredness had already been written in her heart face.

Even so, when she looked at him, her eyes were still shining.

The wind and snow swept across the world, and the cold wind howled.

However, Xiao Heng's heart seemed to be filled with a scalding heat wave, his blood rushed rapidly, but he held his breath.

He looked at her incredulously, her little embarrassed figure was clearly reflected in his deep eyes.

The mountain was blocked by heavy snow in Jicheng, and the army of one hundred thousand was at a standstill. However, she crossed the mountains and ridges alone, braved the wind and snow, and appeared in front of him on his birthday.

Xiao Heng has read a lot of poetry and books, and is full of economics, but he couldn't find the right words to describe his feelings at this moment.

Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable, even a little hurt.

He didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly said everything.

It's just a birthday that he doesn't even care about.

Why rush back?

Why not obediently wait for the wind and snow to pass?

Why not join the army of the imperial court?

why……

Why else?

It's just something he doesn't care about, someone cares for him.

Xiao Heng's heart was moved, but there was no change of emotion on his face. He quickly took off his outer robe, knelt down and wrapped the outer robe with his body temperature around Gu Jiao's body.

Gu Jiao's body was surrounded by a huge warmth, and with that warmth was his masculine aura and fragrance.

She sniffed, and said with a small frozen voice: "You smell so sweet."

Xiao Heng looked at the tip of her little nose that was red from the cold: "You can still smell my fragrance even though you are frozen like this?"

"Well, it's fragrance!" Gu Jiao said firmly.

Xiao Heng originally looked at her in distress, thinking about the risks and hardships of her journey, and felt a little complicated and heavy, but when she interrupted her like this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Xiao Heng took in the red-tasseled spear she had placed by her lap,

Then he untied her small pannier, wrapped one hand around her back and the other around her knees, and gently picked her up.

"I can go." Gu Jiao said.

She didn't forget that his leg was still limping, and when she was at home, she wouldn't even let him hold her in a small space.

"I can go too." Xiao Heng said.

Gu Jiao blinked and looked at him.

Xiao Heng hugged her and stood up, she could feel the strength of his arms, it was stronger than when she left the capital, a bit more strength of an adult man.

Gu Jiao looked at his legs and feet again, and unexpectedly found that he was walking very well.

Gu Jiao snorted, "Your feet aren't limping anymore?"

"No."

Someone turned back into a little lame in a second.

In fact, it was good, he was able to walk freely the next day after he resolved the misunderstanding with Princess Xinyang and opened up his heart knot. He originally planned to surprise her on her birthday, but a certain girl turned around and ran away.

very good.

There is a price to pay.

It was autumn when Gu Jiao left the capital, and she didn't wear much. Now it's deep winter, and she didn't feel much heavier even with a cotton coat on her body.

Xiao Heng held her arm tightly.

The little guy in the family is three months old, and he doesn't take night milk anymore, so there is no need for the nanny to live here anymore. Yao shi brought the little guy back to the original house, and the east room is reserved for Gu Jiao.

Yu Ya'er came to clean every day, and the bedding was replaced with new ones.

Xiao Heng carried him into the house and placed him on a cushioned chair: "Sit down for a while, I'll go and burn a charcoal basin for you."

After that, he turned around and went to the stove house, lit straw and dry firewood in the stove, and put the silver charcoal into it after burning.

These silver charcoals were sent from the palace, all of which are high-quality smokeless charcoal, which are easy to ignite and very resistant to burning.

While the silver charcoal was burning, he poured water into the pot, cooked a bowl of vegetable egg noodles, and cut a few slices of sausage and bacon.

When the silver charcoal is fired, the noodles are also cooked.

He took the noodles to the east room.

Gu Jiao fell asleep on the table.

It's not exhausting, it's exhausting.

Xiao Heng touched her forehead lightly, it wasn't hot, he felt relieved a little, and said: "Eat something before going to sleep."

"Hmm..." Gu Jiao replied vaguely.

She hadn't eaten all day and night, and she was really hungry.

She yawned a little, took a chopstick of vegetables and fed them into her mouth.

Then, she shuddered and woke up all over!

After Xiao Heng brought the brazier in, he remembered that there was a horse outside, and he went to bring the horse in again, and tied it to the stable at the old Jijiu's side.

His movements were so light that he didn't wake anyone up.

When he returned to the east room, he saw that Gu Jiao hadn't dozed off at all.

There is no way, Xianggong's dark cooking is really refreshing, the effect is comparable to essential oil.

Gu Jiao looked at her husband's handsome face, adhering to the principle of being beautiful and delicious, she finished a bowl of noodles with indescribable taste, and there was not a drop of soup left.

Xiao Heng poured her a cup of warm water to relieve her tiredness: "Is this journey hard?"

"It's not hard, I'm not going to fight, I'm just going to be a doctor!"

As soon as the words fell, a dagger fell out of her sleeve with a bang.

——The dagger of Chen Guorong's family, one of the trophies of Moon Ancient City.

Gu Jiao blinked.

I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

She stooped to pick up the dagger without changing her expression.

With another bang, a sleeve arrow fell out.

——The hidden weapon of the Tang family's archers, one of Tang Yueshan's personal treasures.

Without blushing and heart beating, she calmly picked up the sleeve arrow as well.

Just as I put the arrow and dagger on the table, I accidentally touched the small back pan. The small back pan fell on the table, and the contents inside fell out with a clatter.

Darts, battle axes, meteor hammers, nine-section whips...

Xiao Heng's eyes became very dangerous.

Gu Jiao rolled her eyes: "Do you believe me when I say I picked it up?"

Xiao Heng: "Oh."

"I have something for you!" Gu Jiao changed the subject in a second, took out something tightly wrapped in cloth from the small backpack, and handed it to him, "Open it and have a look."

Xiao Heng also wanted to investigate the matter of her going to the battlefield.

Originally, he thought that she went to the border just to save the old master who had fallen into the enemy's hands, but seeing that she seemed to have robbed Chen Guo's army once, it was obvious that she had been on the battlefield a lot.

Gu Jiao didn't give him a chance to pursue it, she decisively opened the bag, and handed him a booklet exuding a sense of history.

Xiao Heng's eyes were suddenly attracted.

The booklet is impressively written in the previous dynasty.

The characters of the present dynasty evolved from the characters of the previous dynasty, and the fonts and interpretations are slightly different.

Gu Jiao opened the booklet.

Xiao Heng took a closer look, it was full of the names of the Huangfu family, his eyes froze: "The jade plate from the previous dynasty?"

"En!" Gu Jiao nodded.

She set fire to the son-in-law's study, and the son-in-law thought she had also burned the jade plate, but she didn't, she stole it away!

The Dali Dynasty ruled for 300 years, and then inherited it secretly for 200 years. This genealogy of the Huangfu family records every royal family in the previous dynasty, which has great research and archaeological value.

This kind of ancient book is no less attractive to Hanlin officials than a magic weapon is to a peerless master.

Xiao Heng's eyes moved slightly: "How did you come here?"

"Gu Chengfeng stole it!" Gu Jiao threw the pot away in a second!

Gu Chengfeng, who was sleeping with a sword in his arms in the snow mountain, sneezed hard!

"Do you like it?" Gu Jiao looked at him.

Xiao Heng nodded: "Well, I like it."

How could he not like this booklet, which might be exchanged for her life?

The booklet is very light, but it weighs a thousand catties in his hand.

Gu Jiao looked at him with wide eyes that were clear and agile, looking a little cute.

If those Chen Guo soldiers who had been killed by her would definitely drop their jaws here, is this still the cruel and cold-blooded killing god?

This is a little white rabbit!

"And this!" Gu Jiao took out a small palm-sized iron box from her purse, "I heard that the pine smoke ink of the royal family of the Chen Kingdom is the best ink in the world, try painting with it."

"Qing Mo is also good, but it's a pity there are only two yuan."

"Prince Bo has a master who makes Jianhao brushes. He made a new one for me."

...

Gu Jiao kept taking out small gifts from the small back basket, I really don't know how many things she has packed.

Xiao Heng stared at her deeply, every time she took out a small gift, his gaze would deepen.

When she didn't know how many times she took out the small gift, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, lightly clasped one of her wrists, and pulled her into his arms.

Gu Jiao was hugged unexpectedly, her little head hit his fiery chest, and his heartbeat like a drum beat into her ears through the thick fabric.

Plop, plop, it made her ears burn.

The surroundings seemed suddenly quiet, only the breathing and heartbeat of each other remained.

"Are you hurt?" he asked hoarsely.

Calvin is a bit strong, and I will get up tomorrow to write at the second watch.
