"Grandma, my in-laws are here."

While Xu was triumphantly fiddling with the jewels, a little girl lifted the curtain and came in and led a woman dressed in a green robe to the door.

Xu quickly stood up: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Shi and took her hand with a smile and sat down: "Isn't this missing you, I still miss my big fat grandson, so I will come to see you." ”

"Have you seen my mother-in-law?" Xu asked again.

"I've seen it." Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded, Xu asked the girl to prepare tea, snacks, and fruits, and she pushed a few pieces of jewelry to Mrs. Xu: "Mother, you pick a few." ”

Mrs. Xu was even happier when she saw it, and Le's eyebrows and eyes were about to squeeze together.

She looked at those head jewelry, the more she looked at it, the more she loved it, and she picked out several items without politeness: "Look, my son-in-law is capable, how long has he been in the Ministry of Industry, and he will earn you such things." ”

Xu Shi was also happy when he heard it: "Isn't it, now that I think about it, I am also blessed, your son-in-law is good to me, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not unreasonable, and now I have a son by my side, which can be said to be all satisfied." ”

Seeing that Xu's was happy, Mrs. Xu's heart was also open, and she took Xu's hand and said a lot of things, which was nothing more than a praise for Yuqi, and told Xu's to remember to go home and see more.

Xu Shi responded one by one, and when the refreshments came up, she took a sip of tea and moistened her throat and said to Mrs. Xu: "I understand now, this official position with real power is not the same as one without real power, you look at how long our second daughter-in-law's mother's brother has been an official, and how much dowry the second daughter-in-law brought when she got married, saying that he is not greedy, bah, fools don't believe it." No, I still can't see it, so I asked him to go to Suzhou to garrison and give this fat shortage to our family, and I can enjoy Qingfu, and when the second daughter-in-law comes back, I can also throw her with jewelry. ”

"Your second daughter-in-law is really excessive." Mrs. Xu pouted: "Who are these people?" Born with mud legs. There is no etiquette at all, and you don't even dare to say anything about bullying your mother-in-law. God willing, finally let this evil person go, and you don't have to be bullied by her anymore. ”

"Exactly." Xu nodded and handed Mrs. Xu a piece of snack: "Mother." You eat this. ”

Mrs. Xu happily bit her snack, and after a while said, "Now my son-in-law is in charge of Nancheng's affairs." You can be considered to be able to turn over, and you should vent the evil anger in your chest. ”

"Mother, you say." Xu felt that Mrs. Xu's words were right, so he told her to just say it.

Mrs. Xu sneered: "The Qi family has long known how to build Nancheng. I bought a lot of them early when the land was cheap, no, they have a lot of land on the edge of the garden. I inquired, and it was reserved for the shop to be rented out. Think about it, how many people will go to the garden to play every day in the future, and the shop on the side is worth the money of the old nose. ”

Xu nodded vigorously: "What my mother said is that there is no good thing for them to take advantage of." ”

Mrs. Xu continued: "Anyway, the official in his family has been sent to Suzhou, and the girls in the family have also married, and there are only two old immortals left in the family, isn't it that people can bully as much as they want, you are like this, just tell your son-in-law, and ask him to occupy the land around the garden, that is, the Qi family, and only say that there is a place where the horse is tethered, and the Qi family does not dare to do anything if you want to come." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu lowered her voice: "That piece of land is not small, after occupying it, let's just stay a little, good daughter, and it will all depend on it for delicious food and spicy drinks in the future." ”

Xu Shi listened to a burst of heartbeat, and thought for a while that this thing was really done: "What my mother said is that anyway, the Qi family occupies a lot of land, which of their girls does not have a house shop in Nancheng, this is enough, it is inevitable that people will not be able to look at it if they are too ugly, you can rest assured, I will tell him when your son-in-law comes back." ”

When Mrs. Xu heard that the matter could be done, she became more and more happy, and talked a lot to Xu, and when she left, she also brought two horses of good color cloth with her.

Not long after Mrs. Xu left, Yu Qi came back, and as soon as Xu saw Yu Qi enter the door, he immediately smiled and went over to greet him.

After taking the coat that Guo Qi took off and hanging it up, Xu took out civilian clothes and changed them for Yu Qi, and said while changing: "Where have you gone again, you got dirt." ”

Yu Qi smiled: "I went to the construction site to take a look, the garden behind the palace is almost built, and it is just about to be planted with precious flowers and trees transported from all over the country, I have to look at it well, don't let them mess it up." ”

"That's it." Xu Lexiao's eyebrows were dazzled: "The palace has to be done well, so that Your Majesty can see it in your eyes, and only then will you know how hard you work, as for the garden in Nancheng, it is also sloppy, anyway, it is for those mud legs to see, they can see what is good." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shi got closer: "Those shops that operate flowers, trees, mountains and stones have sent a lot of good things, and I also took some good ones to send to my mother, and my mother is very happy." ”

Yu Qi also smiled when he heard it: "If you are happy, it will be done." ”

Xu Shi pursed his lips: "You didn't listen to me before, why didn't you want to be greedy and pervert the law, now it's finally turned a corner, let me say, what is corruption and perverting the law, we didn't kill people and set fires, anyway, everything planted in the garden is planted, and it is better to give money to whoever is not giving, and it is better to give it to those who are knowledgeable and interested." ”

While talking, Xu Shi handed over a cup of tea to Yu Qi: "Isn't it really good to be like this now, our family has a good life, my mother and I are dressed well, and we have face when we go out." ”

Yu Qi sat down and closed his eyes to recuperate, Xu Shi waited carefully, and after a while, he whispered: "My mother is here today." ”

"Oh!" Yu Qi responded: "What is my mother-in-law doing?" ”

Xu's voice was lowered: "My mother said that the Qi family still has a lot of land on the edge of the garden, and I want to build a shop if I keep it, and the Qi family's appearance is too ugly, and now Xianggong is the person who is in charge of this part of Nancheng, and they don't say that they are here to win us over, they really don't take Xianggong in their eyes, according to me......"

Before Xu finished speaking, Yu Qi interrupted: "We and the Qi family are in-laws, no matter how you say it, we have the face of the second child, but it is just a piece of land, we can maintain it." ”

"You're kind." Xu Shi sneered and pushed Yu Qi: "Where are people willing to fall for you?" What did the second daughter-in-law look like before, where did you put your eldest brother and my sister-in-law in her eyes, according to me, you should teach his family a lesson, anyway, there is no one in his family who can hold up the door now, you just say that you want to occupy that piece of land to build a garden, and ask them to let the land out. ”

"No, no." Yu Qi hurriedly shook his head: "Although the second daughter-in-law is not very good, but in the end, it is the daughter-in-law of our family, the Qi family is the second daughter-in-law's family, let's do this, so that the second child's face is dull, the second brother and I are brothers, and there is no grudge in Su Ri, this thing can't be done, can't be done." ”

Xu Shi was anxious when he heard this, and pushed Yu Qi hard: "What can't you do, you know the second and second, you treat him as a younger brother, has he ever thought that you are his brother?" Has he ever seen you since he moved out with his daughter-in-law? People have long forgotten you, and you are still thinking about him. ”

"Whatever, that's my brother." Yu Qi was a little annoyed when he heard this, and got up to leave.

Xu grabbed him: "Your brother, your brother, I'm still your daughter-in-law, I also gave you a big fat boy, why don't you point to me, I ask you, is it important to be the second child or me and your son." ”

Yu Qi couldn't help but have a headache when he heard Xu say such things again, and rubbed the corners of his forehead: "You and your son are important." ”

"Okay, you just do that, let's grab the Qi family's land, we really want to build a shop there and rent it out, what will your son worry about in the future? Are you thinking about myself? Aren't you thinking about our son, are you willing to ask your son to follow us to suffer hardships and sins, and when he grows up, he can't learn to be a good teacher? Want to buy some good paper and good inkstones? Seeing that someone else's family marries ******, he can only marry a wicked woman? ”

Xu's horn said a lot of words in a row, and Yu Qi's head hurt.

He wanted to lie down, but Xu Shi stiffened and didn't tell him to go, and in the end, Yu Qi really had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you." ”

Xu Shi smiled again: "This is good, this is good, you listen to me, our life can be good." ”

doesn't say how the Yu family is, but says that the soldiers and civilians here in Yangcheng are making all preparations together.

Yu Long dragged the army to the city tower to set up defenses, and Qi Jing did mobilization work for the people, and at the same time said that all rich families would be mobilized to help.

Sidi every time he knocks on the customs do not know how much property to rob, how many people to kill, so many years, as long as the people of Suzhou hear that the Xidi people are coming, they grit their teeth with hatred, it can be said that most of the people of Suzhou and the Xidi people have a common hatred, and now when they hear that Sidi is coming again, they naturally use all their strength to prepare to kill the enemy.

Those who had the rigidity to go up to the city wall to kill the Sidi, and the weak heart was afraid, but they also knew that there was no way to hide, so they helped to make arrows and find stones in the city, and many people got a lot of oil, and prepared to set fire on the city wall to burn the Sidi people.

Qi Jing and Yu Long were even more busy for several days, but the Xidi people came too quickly, and before everyone was ready, the army was already overwhelmed.

Under the colorful sky and glow, there is a strange beauty, but on the border, countless iron horses have stepped on the ground.

In Yangcheng, you can feel the sound of the ground shaking, and you can imagine how many soldiers and horses Sidi has dispatched this time.

Qi Jing and Yu Long, as well as Qi Bao Vase in men's clothes, walked up to the city wall, looking at the black and oppressive army in the west, everyone was in a very heavy mood.

"It seems that there are a lot of soldiers and horses in Sidi this time." Qi Jing looked at the black clouds rolling on the ground in the distance and sighed: "Yangcheng is in danger. ”

Yu Longshou put up a pergola and looked at it for a while, and his face was heavy: "Not to mention that there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, if it is a siege......

"The morale of others has destroyed their own prestige." Qi Baohua sneered: "There are more than 200,000 people in Yangcheng, and we are the one who defends the city, and killing one of the two can kill all the Xidi people." ”

Qi Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy, it's a well-trained iron cavalry strong soldier, although there are more than 200,000 people in my Yangcheng, but the old, weak, women and children are counted." ”

As he was talking, he heard a noise on the city wall, and Qi Jing was annoyed: "What's the matter?" ”

After a while, a soldier ran over and said, "Lord Prefect, you, your wife is here." (To be continued.) )
