Xiang Anjiu and Xiang Yu came to Tongping with them, and Xiang Yuan asked Xiang Yu to bring Xiang Anjiu to Tongping's official school in consideration of their study problems in the future.

Today, the two little ones officially entered school.Xiang Yu is older, Zhao Shen is not worried, but Xiang Anjiu is only a little over seven years old after all, and she is away from home alone, and her personality is relatively shy, Zhao Shen is afraid that he will feel uneasy, but keeps silent.

"Just don't worry, I have asked Song Da to take care of it carefully. If there is anything wrong, I will definitely report it."

Zhao Shen was relieved when he heard the words, but he also decided that he should pay more attention.Xiang Yu has been with them for a long time, and they are already familiar with each other.In terms of intimacy with them, I'm afraid it's not as good as An Jiu's own nephew.Congzi has a lot of things to do, so it is inevitable that he sometimes has to take care of him. If he also ignores An Jiu's feelings, he is afraid that this well-behaved and sensible child will always feel like an outsider and will not be at ease.

"Tomorrow, at the dust-cleaning banquet, you are entertaining your family members in the back house. If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold back. I have greeted Fan Tongzhi, and his wife will take care of it. You just need to show off."

Zhao Shen laughed, thought for a while, and said: "No need, there will be many occasions like this in the future, if I shrink back every time, how will the subordinate officials of the yamen look at you? Besides, I am a legitimate insider of the magistrate, and It’s not that you can’t see others, so don’t pretend to be a dumb person.”

Xiang Yuan couldn't help the little commotion in his heart, leaned over, put his arms around his wife, kissed her big, and said, "Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law of the prefect of Xiang, if you stand up, you will blind a lot of people's eyes. It’s not shameful to see people, I’m afraid that if I see too many people, my daughter-in-law’s eyes will be blurred, so I’ll just go to see those gorgeous girls’ houses.”

Zhao Shenben was a little ashamed and annoyed, but he rolled his eyes, turned around to face Xiang Yuan with a smile, stretched out a finger to lift Xiang Yuan's chin, raised his face slightly, raised his eyebrows, and looked disdainfully, and slowly approached Xiang Yuan, speaking like It is as charming as it is contained between the lips.

"In that case, Prefect Xiang should perform well."

While speaking, his finger moved down slowly, from the chin to the lower abdomen, and then he pulled his hand away unexpectedly. Zhao Shen turned and went out. When he reached the door, he suddenly looked back and smiled at Xiang Yuan walk away.

Be good, my mother, why is my daughter-in-law unable to practice and come back? !

Where did his mother get this teasing ability? !

The daughter-in-law, who had always been conservative and rigorous, suddenly turned into a seductive male god. This excitement is really not ordinary.At this time, Xiang Yuan's mouth was dry, his heart was beating like a drum, and the fire burning in his lower abdomen was bubbling up.I have no other thoughts at the moment, just want to go out and catch the daughter-in-law who ran away after setting a fire, and put her on the bed.

Unfortunately, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.Before the hotness in my heart subsided, the steward of the inner house came to report about tomorrow's dust-cleaning banquet.Xiang Yuan had no choice but to deal with it mentally, but secretly began to plan the meat dinner tonight.

The candlelight dinner seemed good, and the dress-up game seemed exciting. Maybe, he could try the long-awaited role swap tonight?Thinking of his daughter-in-law's cold and reserved being thrown down by him, Xiang Yuan couldn't wait, and couldn't help showing a malicious smile.

The steward, who was bowing down to report the matter, glanced at it accidentally, and was shocked, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.Busy and carefully recall the content of my report, where did I go wrong?Why did Xiang Zhifu laugh so deeply!

Not only the subordinate officials of the yamen participated in the dust-cleaning banquet of the magistrate, but also the heads of some prominent and prestigious households in Tongping Mansion also brought their wives.

Xiang Yuan's name has already spread throughout Tongping Mansion.His various actions during his tenure in Quzhou and during the earthquake, after he learned that the imperial court appointed him as the magistrate of Tongping Prefecture, he was inquired clearly by various high-ranking households.For Zhuangyuan Lang, who is vigorous and resolute and sophisticated, not only officials in the Yamen, but also high-ranking households, all hold a cautious wait-and-see attitude.Therefore, this dust-cleaning feast is not just as simple as getting acquainted with each other, but also a battlefield where Xiang Yuan, his subordinate officials and family heads test each other.

Xiang Yuan had long ago made up his mind to completely transform Tongping Mansion. When Song Zhifu was in office, Song Zhifu tried to implement some of the suggestions he put forward, and some others were put aside without even testing. .Song Zhifu wanted to resign his old age and return to his hometown safely, so he didn't want to get into trouble with the high-ranking families in Tongping Mansion and just let it go.But he didn't want to be so nestled, if he wanted to do it, he would do it big!

Zhao Shen was still a little nervous before, he never imagined that one day he would be able to accept salutes and greetings from a group of wives as the wife of a fourth-rank official.But after receiving several salutes in a row, he suddenly calmed down.

What are you afraid of!He is the man who is the most judge here, because he said that the flowers are stinky, and those women who are dressed up in golden light have to laugh and rush to get someone to change a pot.

As soon as his heart was cleared, his hands and feet were freed, his face was no longer stiff, Zhao Shen finally showed his style.

On the other side, Zhao Xinlan pinched the handkerchief, glanced at it from a distance, and lowered her eyes.The young woman standing with her covered half of her face with a round fan, and asked softly, "Sister Lan, is that your younger brother, the wife of Xiang Zhifu?"

Zhao Xinlan nodded slightly.

"Look at the momentum is not bad, it can't be seen that he was born as a concubine."

Zhao Xinlan twitched the corners of her mouth, rubbed the flowers on her temples, and wrote lightly: "He is not interested in anything other than business. Maybe he has a lot of money in his hands. If the business is big, he won't be cowardly anymore."

The young woman curled her lips immediately, and said with disdain: "What! Mr. Xiang is so handsome and handsome, it's fine to marry a brother, but he's just a businessman covered in copper stink! Zhifu Xiang has taken a fancy to him! "

Zhao Xinlan bit her lips lightly, and said jokingly to the young woman with a smile: "Everyone has their own destiny, if it wasn't for the change of marriage, sister Xue'er would be laughing at me now."

The young woman named Xueer's eyes widened, full of disbelief: "Ah, what Sister Lan meant, could it be that brother pushed the family to change the marriage? I really thought about it, and I beat the magistrate Xiang early on." It's a despicable idea to actually take away my sister's fate!"

Zhao Xinlan just smiled and stopped explaining.In the woman's eyes, she was even more convinced of the fact that Zhao Shen was an insidious villain.The two maids who waited on Zhao Xinlan for the banquet were her confidantes brought out from the Zhao residence.Zhao Xinlan always thought that the two of them were loyal to her and would never rebel at all.However, she didn't know that when she was infertile for a long time and her husband's attitude was ambiguous, one of them had already had a different idea.

At this time, after listening to the conversation between Zhao Xinlan and Xue'er, the girl quietly wrote it down, and when she returned to the mansion, she sneaked into Sun Jun's study room and sued her.As a result, another public case was triggered, which is a later story, so I won't talk about it here.

Putting aside the initial nervousness, Zhao Shen became more and more comfortable in standing up after that. His own unique temperament made him look like a star holding the moon among the women, not only unobtrusive, but exuding a soft attraction.

Some wives brought their girls or elder brothers who had never left home, and when they saw this scene, they privately taught: "If you learn from the Zhengjun of the prefect of Xiang, a direct wife must have the bearing of a direct wife. It is the birth. It doesn't show that if one's self-cultivation has improved, he can still shock others."

Just as he was talking, he saw Xiang Yuan leading the men from the other end.It turns out that the subordinates of the yamen paid for the theater troupe to come over. If they want to watch the play, they have to go into the inner house.The inner house of the magistrate's yamen is not too spacious, so when watching a play, male and female guests cannot be distinguished so clearly.

Xiang Yuan stood still, and at a distance of a few meters from the female relatives, he suggested: "It's rare to have the opportunity to enjoy the opera, everyone should take this opportunity to have fun. I don't think so, so the beauties of the boudoir moved to the cubicle to listen. As for the wives, the lords of the families will take it with them, and the big guys will be happy together, wouldn’t it be fun?"

There was a person who was good at flattering, upon hearing this remark, he immediately echoed: "The magistrate's remark is wonderful! It is a great joy in life to be accompanied by a beautiful wife and beautiful family! It is probably the first time for us to listen to an opera like this. It's just that For those who are still unmarried, after this incident, the first thing to do after returning home is to quickly send a matchmaker to propose marriage!"

Although it was a flattering word, the big guy was still amused when he said it this way.No matter how the men are, all the women are secretly happy when they hear Xiang Yuan's suggestion.It's always my master who goes out to have fun. How long ago can these housewives follow behind and go to banquets and fun together?It's fine if An An lives and plays, but after going out, nine times out of ten, she finds pink-headed prostitutes to accompany her, and she vomits to death.

After Xiang Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Shen, and saw that his posture was relaxed and leisurely, so he let go of his suspended heart.Can't help showing a smile, raised his voice and said: "Zhengjun, why don't you come over to serve your master."

Hearing the obvious jokes, Zhao Shen's face became hot.Ignoring the teasing gazes cast by others, holding back her embarrassment, she walked towards Xiang Yuan with a sullen face.After waiting for him to take his seat, he poured hot tea and peeled the fruit, then Xiang Yuan secretly pulled him to sit down.

The rest of the people waited for a while and took their wives to sit down according to their rank.But in the bottom of my heart, I have an answer to why Xiang Zhifu made such a proposal just now.

I dare say that Zhifu Xiang wanted to listen to the opera with his own Zhengjun, so he made a lot of excuses and simply dragged them all into the water to accompany him.The men disapproved from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that the magistrate was somewhat affectionate.But the hearts of those ladies are all a little bit uncomfortable.The following attitudes have all changed.Before, they were a little disapproving of Zhao Shen, but now they restrained the contempt in their eyes.No matter how much they criticize Zhao Shen, how can an unremarkable elder brother be his wife, judging by Xiang Zhifu's intimacy, Zhao Shen, the magistrate's rightful lord, can sit securely for the time being.And they, apart from establishing a good relationship with him, can't think about the rest.

Sun Jun is a general judge, second only to Fan Tongzhi in rank, so the two sat next to each other, and their wives also sat together.

Zhao Xinlan looked at Mrs. Fan beside her, and handed her a gentle smile.Taking advantage of the time when the men were concentrating on watching the show, she leaned over slightly to say hello.

"Compared to the last time we met, Mrs. Fan's complexion is much better."

Mrs. Fan touched her face, and said cheerfully: "Yes, I just recovered from my illness last time we met, and my face was very haggard. This time, I may have been in good health all along, so I looked more rosy."

"You don't want to be sick. Once you are sick, not only will you look bad, but your luck will be much worse." Zhao Xinlan said while looking in Zhao Shen's direction, as if sighing, and said: "My little brother She has always been healthy, unlike me, who got sick a lot before getting married."
