Du Xiaoxi saw Liu Yao coming back with a box and carrying the corner of his skirt, so he pounced on him, and asked happily, "What did you buy?" ”

Liu Yao handed the box to Du Xiaoxi and didn't speak.

Du Xiaoxi took the box and opened it to see a stack of silver tickets inside, stretched out his hand and flipped through it, from top to bottom, there were all denominations of one hundred taels, about more than a hundred.

"W-where did this come from?"

Seeing that Liu Yao didn't speak, Du Xiaoxi, who reacted, wanted to slap himself, how can an official make money? It's either corruption or bribery!

Du Xiaoxi put the box into his dowry box and put two locks on it, served him sobering soup, and fed half a bowl of white meat porridge, and the two of them lay on the bed and thought about themselves.

Liu Yao was still thinking about him and his colleagues doing this to defraud the household department's money, right? Is he going to keep doing it in the future?

Du Xiaoxi's mind is full of the four big words of 'corruption and bribery' in a loop, if her father-in-law becomes a newly baked big corrupt official, should she return to her parents' home with the burden or try to save the lost father-in-law?

The little two fried fish moved around, Du Xiaoxi turned over and happened to face to face with Liu Yao, and the two sighed together.

Du Xiaoxi still couldn't help asking, "Where did the money come from?" ”

Liu Yao hugged Du Xiaoxi into his arms, and told him what had happened recently in a rather confused way.

Du Xiaoxi patted his chest happily, fortunately it was not murder and arson, corruption and bribery. In other words, is it corruption to make false accounts?

Du Xiaoxi has never encountered this kind of thing in his limited life, and he doesn't know where to start. can only give wordless comfort.

On the second day, Liu Yao still went to sit in the yamen normally, and Du Xiaoxi didn't see what he thought.

……

Liu Yao took He Yang out of the yamen, and saw Zhao Wen'er standing on the side of the horse. Liu Yao frowned and walked to the side.

Since the last time she met her on the street, Zhao Wen'er has been entangled with Liu Yao, and from time to time she ran to the yamen to block it. Liu Yao has never seen such a shameless woman.

A few county lieutenants who came out behind Liu Yao smacked their lips, looked at the eyes of the big fool and glanced at the county magistrate who didn't look at the little lady of the people, what a fool who did not hesitate to spare!

Such a beautiful person, not to mention that the father of the little lady is a national prince. The aunt is the queen. Rushing to hook up with this idiot is still pushing out!

Ay! Sure enough, it was the bustard who loved the banknote and the sister who loved the pretty, and the county magistrate was fascinated by the little ladies with the hooked faces, and took the initiative to stick to it.

If we were so handsome back then, maybe we would all marry the princess and the princess. Now I won't be guarding a broken garden in this place, looking at the bustling Kyoto in the distance.

Ay! It's all tears.

The county lord touched his wrinkled old face. I got on the horse with my stomach straight. Walk slowly towards the flower street in Hongxing County.

Lao Tzu's life is like this, let's find a few beautiful little flower girls and give birth to some handsome sons like the county order, maybe more than ten years later, there will be little ladies from the family rushing into our family!

"Stop!" Seeing Liu Yao get on the horse and leave, Zhao Wen'er shouted and turned over and chased after him.

"Liu Langjun, stop! Why don't you talk to me? You slow down. Wait for me! Zhao Wen'er hurried forward and drove with Liu Yao.

Liu Yao glanced at Zhao Wen'er in disgust, and said coldly: "Zhao Niangzi and women should be self-respecting and self-loving, don't be entangled in this official anymore!" ”

Being looked at by the people she likes looking at the garbage, Zhao Wen'er felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry, but what was wrong with her, she just liked someone and wanted to be with him.

Zhao Wen'er took a deep breath and said to Liu Yao with a smile: "I am happy with you, knowing that you have a wife in your family and do not want to replace her, I will persuade my father to let me be a flat wife, will you go to my house to propose?" ”

Liu Yao was really annoyed, and said angrily: "Please Zhao Niangzi don't follow this official, you make this official have to doubt the tutor of Zhao Guogong's mansion!" If this is the case again, this official will definitely go to the Zhao Guogong Mansion to question! ”

Zhao Wen'er smiled, "Okay! My dad just wanted to meet you! ”

"It's unreasonable!" Liu Yao scolded, and the horse left.

He Yang glanced at Zhao Wen'er, whose face was distorted, and kept up with the young master's pace. What a shameless woman, young master, how can you climb high? Vicious and ugly, when the street can shake off the faces of passers-by, they are really going to enter the gate of the Liu family, and they all follow the young lady back to the hometown to raise pigs.

Liu Yao was annoyed by being entangled for many days, and the uncle also talked to the Zhao Guogong Mansion, who knew that the daughter of the Zhao family was embarrassed to go out now, it was really shameless!

Liu Yao couldn't be answered, and when he got home, he saw Du Xiaoxi sitting under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard and writing hard.

"What are you writing about?" Liu Yao couldn't help but be surprised, his daughter-in-law was a lazy person who ate, drank and had fun, and it was too rare to take the initiative to write and draw with a pen.

Du Xiaoxi pressed the pen against his chin, and said very solemnly: "I think I'm too idle, I should have my own career!" ”

Liu Yao sat down next to Du Xiaoxi, his slender fingers dipped in the water in the tray to wipe the ink on Du Xiaoxi's face, and said suspiciously: "What career?" ”

Du Xiaoxi's chin was raised, and he quickly paused again, "I don't know either!" Isn't that what you're thinking? ”

When she was at home, Grandma Du was in a state of enjoying Qingfu, squinting her eyes every day and sitting under the old trees in the village and chatting with people. Du Niang commanded her daughters-in-law to do this and that, and the sister-in-law was busy with the children in the shop, and none of them stopped.

After getting married, the old lady is now in the care of the eldest aunt, and the second lady of the mother-in-law is said to have known a lot of card friends, and she has not seen anyone twice in the past three times.

Du Xiaoxi guards the small home of the two in Hongxing County, and there are more than 20 maids and mothers-in-law under him, and his father-in-law Liu Erye will also help deal with the affairs of the house when he comes back from business. Du Xiaoxi, the hostess, is usually almost in a state of idleness and idle hair.

Occasionally, the wives of Liu Yao's colleagues will also invite Du Xiaoxi to participate in various banquets, but Du Xiaoxi is too young, a group of women are chatting about their sons and grandchildren, Du Xiaoxi can only sit next to him, and it is very boring to go too many times, and Du Xiaoxi does not want to go.

The eldest aunt often said that she would take Du Xiaoxi to attend the banquet in Kyoto City, and Du Xiaoxi also went there a few times. As a result, after driving the carriage for more than an hour, a group of women, young and old, talked about their clothes and talked about Buddhism, and the rest was to step on other people's sons and praise their own sons. Du Xiaoxi was tired after running a few times, and he was not active. All in all, Du Xiaoxi is a rough lazy woman.

After being idle at home for a long time, Du Xiaoxi pondered to find something to do for herself, although she didn't know what to do.

Liu Yao took away a few pieces of paper that Du Xiaoxi had been writing and painting in the afternoon, and didn't see what was written, and looked up at Du Xiaoxi, "You can do whatever you want, but is it done for dinner today?" ”

"Dinner?" Du Xiaoxi screamed and ran towards the kitchen. The mouth shouted "My fish!" ”

didn't wait for Du Xiaoxi to figure out what to do on his own. Then I arrived at Liu Yao Muxiu.

Since the last time the old lady mentioned adding people to Liu Yao's house, Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi simply did not enter the house for more than two months, the old lady has been much more well-behaved, although she still keeps staring at Du Xiaoxi's stomach. But he couldn't bear to mention it again.

On the second day, the two packed their things and prepared to return to Hongxing County. I heard the people report that the young lady's uncle was coming.

Du Xiaoxi heard that his brother was coming, and hurriedly ran towards the gate. The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched as she commanded the girl to bring them something.

"Second brother! Third brother! Du Xiaoxi pounced with a snort.

Second Brother Du took off and pounced on his sister and laughed twice, Third Brother Du looked at the Liu family who came over and frowned and whispered to Du Xiaoxi, "Stand up!" What it looks like! Du Xiaoxi pulled the corner of Du Sange's clothes and smiled flatteringly.

The group took their seats. Liu Yao introduced the two uncles to the uncle and aunt, the second brother Du kept his face stiff and did not speak, and the third brother Du happily talked about what had happened in Shanshui County in the past half a year, and talked happily with the uncle of the Liu family. In the end, it was the eldest aunt who reminded Liu Yao that she would go to the yamen tomorrow before she stopped.

Hearing that his sister and his wife were going back to the place where Liu Yao worked, Second Brother Du and Third Brother Du immediately said that they would also follow to have a look, and then followed the two out of the door.

Along the way, Du Xiaoxi was very excited and wanted to pull his brothers to talk about the situation at home, but the two of them thought that it was hot in the car and had to ride a horse, so they didn't agree to talk to Du Xiaoxi in the car.

Du Xiaoxi snorted slightly, and then lifted the curtain and said happily to the brothers walking by the car window.

"Liu Lang-kun!" A surprised and complaining female voice sounded, and everyone looked at the young men and girls walking slowly on horses on the opposite side.

Recently, the East Garden has been renovated, all kinds of flowers and trees have a new look, and the mud legs outside the city gate do not dig up manure and fertilize every day to make a black smoke miasma, and the little ladies who have been holding back for a long time in Beijing will meet to come out and run horses.

Zhao Wen'er didn't expect to meet Liu Yao, and ran over on a horse in the midst of everyone's coaxing.

The big businessmen are open, and it is common for unmarried men and women to play together, and if they like to pursue others alone, they are mostly on the side to help and shout.

Tanhualang is handsome and gentle, looks like Pan An, and is the dream lover of many little ladies in Beijing. In the eyes of this group of people, such a beautiful person as Tanhualang could not be climbed high by the soil buns of a pig slaughterer in the countryside. Therefore, for the companion's efforts to squeeze out Mrs. Tanhualang, the group was very encouraged.

"Liu Langjun, are you going back to Dongyuan?"

Liu Yao didn't answer, and said to He Yang, who was driving: "Park the car to the side and let them go first." ”

Seeing that the road let out, a group of people walked over on their horses slowly, leaving only Zhao Wen'er to stop not far from Liu Yao and try to talk.

Liu Yao didn't speak, and there was an expression of rejection on his face, Second Brother Du saw that this little lady in Kyoto wanted to talk to her brother-in-law so shamelessly, and glared at people fiercely and asked loudly: "You little lady is so shameless, did your father teach you to pester a married man?" It's a shame for your father! Go aside! Love pesters whoever pesters! Don't come to my brother-in-law! ”

Zhao Wen'er is noble, and Lang Jun, a little lady from a high-ranking family, when has she seen a person like Du Zhiyi who speaks straightforwardly and does not give face, her face immediately turned red with anger.

"You! Dare to make a fool of the people! You, you country horseman, dare to scold me? Zhao Wen's hand holding the horsewhip trembled angrily, when had she been insulted like this!

Du Xiaoxi gave his second brother a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Second brother, let's go back quickly!" Or you won't be able to make it to dinner! After speaking, Du Xiaoxi beckoned to Liu Yao and beckoned to him, signaling them to hurry up, Liu Yao nodded with a smile, and said softly: "Sister Xi, sit down, we are leaving!" ”

Du Xiaoxi replied with a smile in return.

Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao showed affection in their eyes, and Zhao Wen'er, who was looking at no one, was furious, and the whip in her hand was thrown towards the carriage regardless of it, and a loud whip fell on the horse's head.

The horse was in pain, raised its front hooves high, and ran away in the distance without hesitation.

He Yang, who was driving, was thrown out of the carriage when the horse jumped up, and Du Xiaoxi was also thrown into the car.

Waiting for everyone to be woken up by Du Xiaoxi's screams getting farther and farther away, the carriage had already run away.

Liu Yao and Second Brother Du and Third Brother chased after each other.

Zhao Wen'er was frightened by Second Brother Du's cold eyes, and looked at the crooked carriage and didn't care about anything else, and ran towards the city with a wave of the horsewhip.

Shocked! Shocked!

The crowd with Zhao Wen'er remembered the sturdy size of Second Brother Du and Third Brother Du, and shook their heads and left in a panic.

Du Xiaoxi stumbled back and sat directly on the car, feeling the carriage rushing forward frantically, Du Xiaoxi clutched the window tightly and didn't let go.

Du Xiaoxi howled, is this all a?

Du Xiaoxi felt that she had a grudge against Zhao Wen'er, don't be caught by her when she turns around, you have to bite her to death!

Second Brother Du had a lot of strength, and he fell off the horse several times in a row, and ran forward like crazy in pain, and soon caught up with the big carriage carrying Du Xiaoxi.

The two horses marched forward side by side, and Second Brother Du looked up and saw a small lake not far away, gritted his teeth and pounced on it.

His hands were clasped tightly around the horse's neck, his legs leaning to one side, and his legs were grinding against the ground from the high and low fields. Second Brother Du hugged the horse's neck, and finally stepped over one leg and rode on the horse's back.

"Phew!" Second Brother Du shouted and pulled the reins tightly, and the horse's front hooves were raised high and struggled for a while, and then he fell down and stopped running.

"Are you alright?" Third Brother Du and Liu Yao hurriedly followed, and asked anxiously before they arrived.

Liu Yao opened the curtain and saw Du Xiaoxi, who was sitting in the carriage with a pale face, and asked anxiously, "Is it okay?" As he spoke, he climbed into the car and checked Du Xiaoxi.

Du Xiaoxi shook his head, and said again and again, Liu Yao saw that Du Xiaoxi had no wounds on his body and was in good spirits before he put his mind at ease.

"Second brother, where are you injured?" The two were still comforting each other in the carriage, and the exclamation of the third brother was heard outside, and the two lifted the curtain to see the second brother Du sitting on the horse, bleeding from his dangling legs.

"Where's the injury?" Du Xiaoxi exclaimed in surprise and walked directly towards the second brother with Liu Yao.

Second Brother Du waved his hand with a nonchalant face, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I just rubbed my leg, and it will be good if there will be no blood left after a while." ”

"Let's go! Let's go home and see the doctor first! ”
