Chapter 726 Do you regret it?

"But, on the day when His Majesty sent the gift of Laci, your face looked strange. Was it because His Majesty did not mention you in the imperial edict, which made you feel disappointed?"

Thinking of what happened that day, Hua Lei also felt that it was unfair to Rong Jin. Everything she had done in Xichang Prefecture was done by Rong Jin and herself together.

Although he was the one who brought up the matter of hybrid rice, Rong Jin had always stood by him and helped him in every way he could.

However, when Emperor Shengwu awarded the La Festival gift, the imperial edict only mentioned Hua Lei's name and did not mention Rong Jin, so Hua Lei was a little worried that Rong Jin would feel unbalanced.

Here, it is natural for a woman to regard her husband as her heaven. A man like Rong Jin who can actively put down his status and assist his wife is rare.

"Don't they say that husband and wife are one? What's yours is mine, isn't it? As long as you don't look down on me, I have nothing to be sad about." Rong Jin was quite open-minded and did not take the Laci from Emperor Shengwu that seriously.

"Husband, do you really think so...?" Hua Lei confirmed hesitantly.

"Instead of spending time thinking about these trivial things, you should spend more time exercising with me. I like this." Rong Jin reached out his hand, turned over, and pressed the person under him.

The person under him could only stop talking obediently and hug the strong and thin waist.

After a very long time, Rong Jin finally let go of the person in his arms. He carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for Hua Lei, and then lay down quietly beside her.

Do you regret coming to Xichang? Do you regret it? Hua Meimei asked herself this question many times. In fact, I can’t say that I don’t regret it.

In fact, when I first arrived in Xichang, the weather here was too hot and unbearable compared to the weather in Shangjingcheng and Mobei. For someone like me who has a bit of a cleanliness obsession, it was really hard to adapt.

When I was in Mobei, although the weather was extremely cold, as a civil official, I seldom went out, so I just needed to wear more clothes and keep warm. There was a brazier in the government office, and a heated kang for sleeping at night, so life was not difficult.

However, it was different in Xichang. If there was ice in the corner of the office while working, it was still bearable. However, as Hualei's husband, sometimes I didn't want to see Hualei go out to suffer, so many times, I would take the initiative to go out on patrols if I could replace Hualei.

However, the weather outside was so hot that even though I avoided the midday sun, I was sweating profusely in less than an hour.

When people are outside, it is impossible to wash and change clothes in time, so the sticky robe keeps getting wet and dry on the body over and over again.

When I came back at night, my body emitted an extremely unpleasant sour smell, and several times, I broke out in rashes.

It's itchy but I can't scratch it too much. When it's rubbed by clothes, it's prickly and uncomfortable all over. I can't sleep well all night. This happens to me and the people around me too.

Therefore, my nose suffers every day. From morning to night, I am surrounded by an unpleasant sour smell, which makes me, who is used to burning incense, unbearable sometimes.

In addition, the eating habits in Xichang Prefecture are very different from those in the capital. Spicy food is seldom eaten here, and the taste is light. Sugar is also added to many dishes, which makes it impossible for me, who has always liked spicy food, to eat.

Therefore, when I first came to Xichang Prefecture, I didn’t sleep well or eat well for several months, and I lost more than ten pounds in a short time.

Especially when I see my two children, who, because of their young age, have less endurance and suffer more than me, I do feel a trace of regret in my heart.

He gave up living in the marquis's mansion in the capital, gave up his noble job in the Hanlin Academy, and ran away to Xichang Prefecture with his two children to suffer.

However, after more than half a year, Rong Jin deeply knew that he regretted coming to Xichang Prefecture for a while. But he also knew that if he did not come to Xichang Prefecture, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Especially after going to the military camp in Xijiang, he saw the disappointment in his eyes and saw that he had always protected Hua Meime. If he didn't come to Xichang with him, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

Regret for a while or regret for a lifetime, I'd rather regret for a while. Besides, he also knew that Hualei had been working hard to make up for herself.

Sometimes, I am so tired that my eyelids are fighting each other, but in order to satisfy my desires, I always cooperate with myself.

Even if she sometimes makes some weird requests when she is in a good mood, Hua Meime will try her best to satisfy her.

Therefore, sometimes, even if there is a little imbalance in one's heart, it will be washed away without a trace by a vigorous exercise.

In addition, Hua Meime is very considerate. Even if she hides her emotions very well, she will always discover them first and take the initiative to comfort herself.

And I really like Hua Meime. Hua Meime takes the initiative, which makes me so happy. It makes me unable to stop every time.

So, I still don't regret it. Rong Jin fell into a deep sleep.

If you don't sleep enough at night, you naturally can't get up in the morning, so the next day, both of them slept until the sun was high in the sky. After lunch, Hualei took another nap.

Fortunately, Hualei doesn't need to worry about things at home. Qingqi and Qinghua manage the household affairs in order. Outside, the two sisters Qingxia and Qingqiu also manage the fields and shops smoothly.

The only ones that Hualei needed to pay attention to were probably Jinnian and Jinshi. So on this day, while Qingqi and Qinghua were pasting window decorations and hanging lanterns on the house, Hualei and Rongjin took the two children to an open space at the back.

Usually, this is where Rong Jin practices martial arts. There is a big sand pit next to the wall. Jinnian and Jinshi usually like to play with sand.

Therefore, Hualei planned to let Jinnian and Jinshi play "sand painting" and "sand sculpture" in their free time. In the prosperous dynasty, children from noble families, especially those from civil officials, rarely had the opportunity to play these.

Of course, the sand painting that Hualei talked about is somewhat different from the sand painting mentioned in the previous life.

In the past, sand paintings were usually created using sand on a light box, and then using light and shadow reflections to create beautiful pictures.

There are no such good conditions here, so what Hualei calls sand painting really means drawing on the sand.

Make some sand trays of suitable sizes, put a thin layer of sand in them, spread it carefully and make it smooth, then let Jinnianjin draw the patterns he wants directly with his fingers on the sand.
