Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Second Sister Xiang was sitting next to the sleeping child, sewing socks in front of the candlelight, and looking at the door from time to time.After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Xu Zhong'an, the second brother-in-law of the Xiang family, came in through the night.

The second sister Xiang went down to the ground in a hurry, fetched water for Xu Zhongan to wash herself, looked at his face, and asked softly, "Master, what did your parents say?"

Xu Zhong'an covered his face with a handkerchief for a while, then grabbed it off, wiped it carelessly, went to the room and sat down, and said: "Father said that if I go to Congzi's, the family will not provide us with money. Similarly, We don’t have to pay official duties any more, and we will have to bear the burden of earning more or less in the future.”

"Father is trying to tell us to separate?"

Second Sister Xiang was shocked and hurriedly asked.

Xu Zhongan shook his head. "It doesn't count, it's just doing this first, and it is estimated that after a long time, they will separate naturally."

The second sister Xiang was in a state of confusion, and she sat next to the child. Seeing that he was restless and always turning over, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pat him.

"Sir, otherwise I'll send a letter to Congzi, saying we're not going."

Xu Zhongan was silent, Shaoqing shook his head. "No, I'll go!"

Looking at Second Sister Xiang's worried eyes, Xu Zhong'an took her hand and said, "The business here has not improved, and I'm tired of taking care of my elder brother and younger brother. Congzi kindly provided us with an opportunity." , there is no reason not to rush in."

"Okay, as long as you make up your mind, Mr. Xiang, no matter what, I have no objection."

Second Sister Xiang actually hoped that Xu Zhong'an would go in her private heart.Here, although they have no worries about food and clothing, they don’t have much money in hand. The children in the family are getting older and they are too young to go to school. With their current abilities, they probably can’t afford to hire a better wife.However, the children of the elder brother and the younger uncle used the money of the kilometer to hire teachers with high reputations.As time goes on, the judgment will be judged by their respective fortunes in the future.They are no longer comparable to elder brothers and younger uncles, and they can no longer call their own children to be inferior to brothers and brothers!

After making up her mind, Second Sister Xiang actively packed Xu Zhongan's luggage, all kinds of pills to cool off the heat, light summer clothes, soft and delicate underwear, and packed two large packages, which made Xu Zhongan dumbfounded.

"When you're away from home, the poor and the rich are on the road. If you prepare enough, I don't have to worry about it when I'm at home."

Xu Zhongan stepped forward and gently hugged Second Sister Xiang.

"Don't worry, I will do a good job and won't make you and my son suffer with me."

Second Sister Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, gentle and graceful.

The husband and wife here are tender and affectionate, but Zhao Xinlan on the other end is full of anxiety.

"How? What did the master say?"

The girl who was questioned was obviously Zhao Xinlan's confidant. Hearing the words, she quickly moved to Zhao Xinlan and said in a low voice: "Master didn't want to take that vixen there, but the old lady disagreed. , it's not thoughtful, insisting on asking the master to bring that vixen."

"I asked your master what to say!"

Zhao Xinlan held her breath in her heart, she knew from the moment she entered the door that the old lady didn't like her, she felt that she had taken the position of the old lady's own niece, her eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not a nose.She bowed down, gave in and endured, just because Sun Jun treated her well, but unfortunately, this goodness was broken when the concubine came in one year after marriage.

The girl glanced at Zhao Xinlan's anger, her expression became more careful, and she carefully considered her words and replied: "You also know that the master has always been the most filial. If the old lady has spoken, can the master object clearly? The young maid looked at it, and the master also felt the same in his heart." I definitely don’t want to, otherwise I would have brought it up long ago, why wait until I’m about to go out to mention it?”

Zhao Xinlan laughed at herself, the little hope in her heart completely dissipated.Sun Jun went to the little concubine's place at night, and it is estimated that she is being popularized right now, leaving her alone in the main courtyard, what's the point?

Zhao Xinlan couldn't help covering her lower abdomen with her hands, and Zhao Xinlan was a little lost in thought.

Hearing from his own mother, Zhao Shen has been married to the Xiang family for so long and has no children yet.Zhao Xinlan still remembers the disdain in her mother's Mrs. Zhao's eyes when she said this.Conceiving a little brother is already difficult, not to mention it is said that Xiang Yuan prefers women to men, so it must be even more difficult for Zhao Shen to conceive.After being married for so long, there is no news, and I don't know when I will be divorced.Mrs. Zhao was obviously worried about the reputation of the Zhao family, but actually she didn't care.But Zuo was really abandoned, so he and Xu Yixuan, who had been an eyesore in the backyard for many years, were sent to the countryside Zhuangzi, and it was not difficult to spend some rice every year to support him.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the news of Xiang Yuan's high school champion came.When the good news reached Lizhong, Zhao Xinlan didn't react for a long time.On the first day, she was proud that Sun Jun had won the Jinshi, but she didn't want to be blindsided by the news the next day.People who kept coming to congratulate him, no longer only complimented Sun Jun in their words, but every guest would mention the brother-in-law of the Sun family, and their words were full of praise.After returning to the Zhao Mansion, this situation became even more obvious. Sun Jun was compared with Xiang Yuan many times. Although the guests didn't say much, one was just an ordinary Jinshi, and the other was the number one scholar. Which one was better? It is clear at a glance.Sun Jun was very upset about this, and after visiting the door once, he didn't want to go back with her again.

When is it good?Oh, by the way, it was Xiang Yuan, who was highly anticipated by everyone, who was sent to a remote village as the number one scholar, and everyone lost interest immediately.The Sun family even reduced the congratulatory gifts by [-]%. If it wasn't for the sake of looking good, they might not even get [-]% of the congratulatory gifts.

Sun Jun left his family relationship, and he was going to work in the capital in high spirits, and she was also honored, and the sisters-in-law and sisters in the boudoir were very beautiful.It's a pity that God's wishes failed, and before Sun Jun set off to take up the post, news came that the uncle of the Sun family with the most official position in the capital had offended someone, and Sun Jun lost his position.Fortunately, the Sun family finally had some energy. After sending out an unknown amount of money and traveling through countless paths, Sun Jun finally got a position, but he could no longer be a Beijing official, but had to be released, and Zhao Xinlan was in a trance With a smile, it's Tongping Mansion!

Xiang Yuan, they secretly teased the excluded Jinke No. [-] scholar before, and the place where he was released was Quzhou County, Tongping Prefecture.Fortunately, the Sun family's position for Sun Jun is Tongping Mansion General Judge, otherwise Zhao Xinlan would not know how to deal with the sisters in her boudoir.

"Ma'am, it's late at night, let's rest."

The girls around me reminded carefully.

Zhao Xinlan came back to her senses and saw that it was really late at night, so she nodded and let the girl wait for her to change and wash.

It's just that in the gap, she couldn't help thinking that it was good to change the kiss back then.Otherwise, with the status of Xiang's family, how could she raise her dignity and call her a servant.Therefore, there is no need to regret it, she is much better than Zhao Shen who needs to work hard.

Xiang Yuan got off the sedan chair and looked up.On the door plaque is the inscription "Xianqing Pavilion", which is elegant and unrestrained, which is very good.Stepping in, the interior decoration is quite elegant, there is no open hall, only private rooms, and each private room is planted with green plants and placed flower pots to block the sight of outsiders.I don't know where and who is playing the shengqin, and the jingle, ding, dong, dong, can be heard endlessly.

After being invited into the largest private room, the seven or eight people waiting inside all stood up with smiles on their faces, bowed their hands, and were extremely enthusiastic.

"Xiang Zhengtang is coming, I'm not welcome."

It seemed that the leader of the Gao family, who was about forty years old, was the first to greet him, handed over his hands and gave Xiang Yuan the first place, and then greeted the steward of the leisure hall.

"Go, bring all the buddies in the library who can play and sing."

The steward went on smiling attentively, and after a cup of tea, he brought a group of young brothers in different clothes behind him into the door.Xiang Yuan looked over and saw that the seven little brothers were all dressed in plain clothes, holding a qin or holding a fan, with earnest eyes.

Master Gao saw that Xiang Yuan was not moved, so he asked the seven people to sit beside the masters present, turned his head and said to the steward, "Why is Mr. Qingzhu not here? Xiang Zhengtang from Quzhou is here today, why don't you hurry up and call Qingzhu?" Young master, come here!"

The steward hurriedly agreed, and took Mr. Qingzhu into the private room in less than half a cup of tea.As soon as Mr. Qingzhu came in, he greeted Xiang Yuan with a neither humble nor overbearing salute, and then asked curiously: "Qingzhu has heard for a long time that Master Zhengtang not only draws well, but also has unique calligraphy. I wonder if Qingzhu is lucky enough to see it?"

Xiang Yuan felt a little funny.Let's not talk about this so-called Mr. Green Bamboo, who is only called Mr. for the sake of his reputation. In fact, he is just the top card of this leisure restaurant that sells dog meat. How dare a mere lowly person make such a request? !Besides, he looks so dazed and short-sighted?Do you feel elated after being praised for a few words?Looking at the unconcerned expression of the Green Bamboo Young Master, it seems that he is sure that Xiang Yuan will comply with the request.

Seeing Xiang Yuan's expressionless face, Mr. Gao didn't seem to be pretending to be noble, so he hurriedly stopped Mr. Qingzhu, and rounded up the situation: "How can you just look at the brush and ink of Mr. Zhengtang? Qingzhu, don't indulge yourself in calligraphy, just catch everyone regardless of the occasion." Make a request! The main hall is here today, but there is business to do, so you sit down and serve the main hall drinks."

In the end, Mr. Gao seemed to explain that the plaque hanging at the entrance of Bandao Leisure Hall was the pen and ink of Mr. Qingzhu.

Xiang Yuan waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down. After the masters sat down with their brothers beside them, Xiang Yuan raised his wine glass and drank first.

"This cup, I would like to thank you all for the invitation."

Everyone hastily showed a look of panic, seeming to be true or false, saying that they didn't dare.

Xiang Yuan didn't care, he raised a glass of wine and drank it up, saying: "This second glass is to give courtesy first and then soldiers. Since I have done this, I will talk about my usual rules. It will cause unpleasant troubles in the future."

All the masters headed by Mr. Gao felt a little bit in their hearts, they were confused, but they still wanted to say that it should be so.

"The rules of this official's drinking, first, don't look for such occasions in the future, after all, this official and everyone are people with families and families, and frequent visits to such occasions, the impact is too bad. Second, it's okay to drink and talk about things , but, that's all. The rest will be waived, and I have no blessing to accept it. Third, I will not shirk things that can be done within the rules, so you don't have to prepare things in private, there is no need , It's useless to prepare for things that shouldn't be done. If you can do it, you won't ask for more."

Speaking of this, Xiang Yuan paused, glanced around, and said: "Everyone, do you understand everything?"

Master Gao wiped the sweat from his brow, and promised again and again.

"Zhengtang is indeed a noble character, and I really can't match it."

After finishing speaking, he rushed to sit next to Xiang Yuan, and after hearing the passage just now, the green bamboo master with an ugly face said: "If so, please ask the green bamboo master to come back, and you all go down too, ask the steward to order you to go down, don't disturb me casually."

The little brothers sitting in the room had different expressions, but they didn't dare to talk too much, they all got up obediently, and retreated out in an orderly manner.Mr. Qingzhu looked at Xiang Yuan affectionately, expecting Xiang Yuan to speak a word, but found that the Quzhou parent official, not only did not have the slightest warmth in his eyes, but was abnormally indifferent.Young Master Qingzhu's expression froze, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, and hurriedly retreated, unable to maintain his usual gentleness on his face.

At dusk, Xiang Yuan came out of the Leisure House, and behind him stood the masters who sent him out. Seeing their overjoyed expressions, one knew that the meeting and the negotiation had a good result.Song Da rushed to the carriage, picked up Xiang Yuan, and drove all the way to the county government.

When they arrived at the county government office, Zhao Shen took Xiaodou with him but hadn't returned yet.After Xiang Yuan had drunk, he ordered Song Da to pick up Zhao Shen, and he fetched water for a careless wash, then staggered into the room and fell down to rest.

Mother Xu saw Xiang Yuan resting with her head, and silently withdrew.I couldn't help thinking in my heart: The head of the inner family is a brother, but he is not as careful as a woman.The magistrate came back from a social gathering, he didn't even say hot soup, and he had to do his own washing. If things went on like this, wouldn't the lord get so used to staying at home that he wanted to run out all day long?

I sighed in my heart, then thought of Xu's mother for a moment, and suddenly thought of my daughter who hadn't left home yet.Although my daughter is from a small family, her appearance is not bad, and the female red needle can do everything well, which has been praised by several wives.

Xu's mother was moved.
