Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen returned to Lizhong and fully experienced the excitement brought by being famous.

First, the magistrate of the county invited him enthusiastically, and after he was full of wine and food, he stuffed a 100 tael silver ticket over, saying it was a reward on behalf of the county.

Xiang Yuan understands that there are precedents for these, and there is no harm in accepting them.After that, there was another celebration among the students. They were drunk with wine and listened to praises and sour words.After dealing with these, I still have to go to the Zhao Mansion to deal with Mr. Zhao, the father-in-law.

Mr. Zhao did not expect that Xiang Yuan not only passed the examination, but also became the No.1, Xie Yuan!However, his eldest son-in-law, Sun Jun, only passed fifty or so exams. Even so, when he first heard the news, not only was the Sun family overwhelmed with joy, but as his father-in-law, he was in a hurry to send someone to congratulate him, and specially prepared a full set of The congratulatory gift, the words of praise are endless, and there is no one on good terms who does not know how much he appreciates the eldest son-in-law.

But now?Brother Shen's brother-in-law is actually Jie Yuan!And he didn't like Xiang Yuan before, and it was expected that even if he passed the exam, he would be at the bottom of the exam, most likely he would not pass the exam at all, so he didn't send anyone to pay attention to it at all, which made it a bit embarrassing to step down now.What was even more disturbing was that if he wanted to save face, he had to prepare a more generous congratulatory gift than Sun Jun, so that he could make a good gesture in front of his relatives and friends.

Mr. Zhao was very heartbroken, and seeing the congratulatory gifts prepared was even more painful.Looking at Xiang Yuan who was sitting upright drinking tea, his heart felt even more stuffy.

If it was Sun Jun at this time, he would definitely say something pleasant to cheer him up, and he would repeatedly decline such many congratulatory gifts.As for Xiang Congzi, Mr. Zhao never felt how much he respected him, so he smiled and thanked him when he gave him the gift, and then accepted it.

What a shameless price this is!

"I heard that since you came back, you have been out for a few days to socialize?"

Xiang Yuan nodded: "It's all unavoidable."

"Although you are young and energetic, you can't know the heights of the sky and the earth just because you got to know Yuan by chance this time. In the coming year, there will be exams, and students from all over the world will gather in the capital. I don't know how many talented and quick-learned people. Read more books, do academic work, and strive for a good ranking in the exam, and then whether you are sent out or stay in the capital, you will have the confidence."

"More teachings from my father-in-law, my son-in-law will save me."

To Xiang Yuan's unsalty response, Mr. Zhao couldn't make up his score at all, so he reluctantly muttered a few more words, and then sent him and Zhao Shen to meet Xu Yixuan later.

Ever since he heard the news that Xiang Yuanzhong knew about Yuan, Xu Yixuan's heart has never been at peace.In fact, in his heart, he only hoped that Xiang Yuan would be promoted, not Xiang Yuan.Xie Yuan's name is too famous, and his brother Shen is an unremarkable little brother. If Xiang Congzi has a heart from now on, that would be good.

Xu Yixuan was scratching his heart and lungs with anxiety, taking advantage of Xiang Yuan's inattention, he dragged Zhao Shenhao through the interrogation.

Focus on housework!

Zhao Shen was almost ashamed by Xu Yixuan's blunt questioning, so Xu Yixuan continued to ask more questions, so he had to say something nice about Xiang Yuan to him.

"You haven't heard from me all this time?"

Zhao Shen was at a loss, what letter?

Xu Yixuan hated iron for being weak, "Father only got you once, why is it so difficult for you?"

It turned out to be this letter!

When it comes to this, Zhao Shen himself is in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he has not completely let go of his guard, and does not want to have a child so soon.On the other hand, she wondered whether Mu Zi would carry someone in if she was still infertile.Since they came back from Nanling, Mrs. Li has hinted at such words more than once, and even took her niece from her natal family over as a companion for a few days in a row.Zhao Shen saw it and felt depressed.

Today is to stay in Zhao Mansion for lunch.When it was time for dinner, Xiang Yuan went over to take a look, what a guy!People are all!Such a grand occasion can only be compared with the day when he and Zhao Shen got married. Thinking about the few times he came here before, either he couldn't accompany him because of something, or he had something to socialize with. Even Mr. Zhao was absent several times.

Now, Mr. Zhao smiled like a chrysanthemum, and warmly greeted Xiang Yuan to take a seat.

The eldest son of the Zhao family, Zhao Xun, still had the same cold appearance, and the second son, Zhao Xu, who hadn't seen much before, showed extraordinary enthusiasm, pulling him to talk, and then pulling Sun Jun over, The scene was so lively that people who didn't know it would think that the three of them were close friends for many years.

When Xiang Yuan was a young man, he encountered such arrogance and condescension many times, so he handled it with ease.The etiquette is so thorough that people can't find a single mistake, and they can't find any loopholes either.

On the female side's side, Zhao Xinlan kept watching Zhao Shen, who was lovingly cared for by her mother for the first time out of the corner of her eye, with complex eyes.Speaking of which, if he hadn't changed relatives, he would be the one who is very famous among relatives, right?

Unfortunately, everything has come to an end.I only hope that my husband and son-in-law can get a good ranking in the examination and be assigned a good official position. In this way, we can also save face in front of relatives.

Zhao Xinlan ate the food without knowing the taste, and the elation she felt about Sun Junzhong's promotion earlier was completely dissipated.

After a meal, Xiang Yuan ate well no matter what the others were like, and took Zhao Shenshi to leave, followed by two young men carrying burdens, two burdens, and four baskets, all filled to the brim. full.

Zhao Xu rubbed his cheeks that were sore from laughing, and watched Xiang Yuan leave with gloom in his eyes.

"Look at his arrogance. It's just Xie Yuan, so he's a bit lost. If Chunwei and the palace test can still come out on top, then I will obey him."

Sun Jun also felt bad in his heart. As the future eldest son-in-law of the Zhao family, he has always been favored by the Zhao family. In addition, he thinks that he is also well educated, so he always has a bit of sympathy for Xiang Yuan, the son-in-law of the Zhao family.But he never thought that this brother-in-law, whom he despised in the past, would actually slap him in the face!

Master Zhao took a sip of hangover tea, and reprimanded Zhao Xu in a deep voice: "What nonsense! He is brother Shen's husband, not only older than you, but also more knowledgeable than you. In the future, you should associate with him more. There is no harm in the good."

Zhao Xu pursed his lips, turned his head and saw Zhao Xun sitting beside him with a calm expression, and felt a little bit aggrieved in his heart.Eldest brother has always been like this, but father values ​​him the most. If the family is separated in the future, I'm afraid he won't get any benefits.Thinking of this, his eyes became more gloomy.

Xiang Yuan worshiped ancestors in the Hui nationality, and after the work was done, he was very enthusiastically given a large amount of congratulatory gifts by the village gentry and wealthy households, including cloth, tea and salt, cakes and candies, and 200 taels of silver with white patterns.What's even more exaggerated is that one of the chubby squires actually sent two fair-skinned and beautiful maids, and they squeezed their small eyes to imply that Xiang Yuan, this is something to warm the bed, so don't worry about it.

Xiang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he took everything else away, and the servant girl retreated back alive.He bluntly said that he already had a Hedong lion in his family, so he didn't dare to provoke others.The fat squire thought of the previous rumors in the village, and immediately believed them.He patted Xiang Yuan sympathetically, and left with the maid in regret.

Thinking of the resentful eyes cast by the two maids before they left, Xiang Yuan felt chills.

After Zhao Shen had dealt with the occasional overt or covert inquiries from his relatives, he heard about it when he came out, and his face immediately sank.Squinting to look in the direction where the fat squire was leaving, Zhao Shen decided that it was necessary to punish some people who had no eyesight.I heard that the fat squire's family happened to be in the cloth business as well.

Hmph, Zhao Shen sneered.

Later, the fat squire's cloth business failed several times in succession, and he lost a large sum of money, but he couldn't find the reason for the failure.He was having a headache and heartache, and someone who was hinted by Zhao Shen to know the inside story, talked and laughed at the banquet, and told the story in a cryptic manner.The fat squire was so remorseful that he didn't dare to think of Xiang Yuan again.Afterwards, he tried his best to publicize Zhao Shen's jealousy. He wanted to take advantage of the public to vent his anger, but he didn't want Zhao Shen to not care at all. Someone came to inquire specifically, and he expressed his meaning clearly and clearly.

Those who want to confuse Xiang Congzi, just wait and see what he does!

For a moment, those who were ready to move were scared back.

On the way back, Xiang Yuan looked at Zhao Shen's still gloomy face, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch it.

hiss!It hurts!

Zhao Shen glared angrily, slapped Xiang Yuan's rebellious paw off, and said angrily, "What are you doing!"

"Hey, are you back to your senses?"

Seeing him blowing his hair, Xiang Yuan felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't worry, no matter how beautiful she is, in my eyes, she is not a tenth of yours. I don't have the heart to raise a useless person who only eats, drinks, and wastes money at home."

Zhao Shen:······

Hearing the first few sentences, Zhao Shen was still very embarrassed, but after hearing the last sentence, he could only cry and laugh.

Well, just trust him for once.

Before the two of them were in front of others, they enjoyed everything they deserved and got everything they deserved. Even if Xiang Congzi broke the contract in the future, he would have no regrets.

After visiting relatives and friends, Xiang Yuan officially began to study behind closed doors.During this period, the contact with Lin Gong and Zhang Ji has not been broken.At the time of farewell, Mr. Lin brought back a large box of exam questions and policy theories. It would take a month just to read them, and he had to write letters to discuss some of them.After repeating it several times, Xiang Yuan was truly convinced by Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin is worthy of being one of the most famous people in the world. He is knowledgeable and covers a wide range of subjects. He looks harsh, but actually knows how to adapt.Xiang Yuan gradually developed a teacher-student relationship with him, and respected him very much.

And Lin Gong, who was far away in Nanling, was also satisfied with Xiang Yuan from the bottom of his heart.He actually accepted five students in total, and Xiang Yuan was the youngest one.As the two of them exchanged letters, Mr. Lin not only saw Xiang Yuan's sharp and unique writing style, but also was pleasantly surprised to find that their political views were unexpectedly consistent.Even Zhang Ji, his most proud disciple, is not as good as Xiang Yuan and him.

"The teacher praised Congzi so much, the students must be envious."

Seeing that Lin Gong would praise Xiang Congzi every few days, Zhang Ji couldn't help laughing and joking.

Lin Gong twirled his short beard and pointed at Zhang Ji with a hearty smile. "You don't have to be envious. I thought that when I accepted you as a student, I praised you in front of your three senior brothers. They still hate you so much now."

Zhang Ji just saw that Duke Lin was worried about the court affairs recently, so he deliberately said this to make him happy. Seeing that Duke Lin was really happy, he couldn't help being happy from the bottom of his heart.

"It's no wonder that every time I see the three senior brothers, they always pull me to drink under various names. It turns out that the root cause is the teacher."

Lin Gong laughed a few more times, and finally said with emotion: "You three senior brothers have been training in other places for ten years. Now that you have accumulated a lot of money, it is a good time to take over the capital. But you have only been in Nanling for less than three years, and I am afraid it will be a while. I will not go back to the capital."

"Students are not in a hurry. The seniors will go to the front line first. After a good situation is created, Zhong Ping will be transferred back, but it will be a big bargain."

"You!"

Lin Gong shook his head and laughed.Looking into the distant sky, the tone is full of ambition.

"With Xiang Congzi, there are finally someone who will succeed you. As a teacher, you don't have to worry that no one will succeed you after you. It will ruin the situation we have worked so hard to create."

Zhang Ji agreed softly.
