As soon as Wang walked to the door, he saw his husband who came out angrily, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw Aunt Xu who was being helped out.

"This?" Wang looked at them in a slight stunned manner.

"How did you get here?" Xiao Ruiqing asked impatiently.

"Someone told me you are here, let me come over, why don't I come over and see, Aunt Xu, what's wrong." Although the Wang family was asking, the suspicion in his eyes couldn't be hidden, if it weren't for the king's steward here, she would be the one who should be angry.

"It's okay, send Aunt Xu back." What Xiao Ruiqing is most afraid of now is that his father knows something, so he leaves quickly, and his wife will handle the rest.

At this time, Aunt Xu's maid also ran over, originally the aunt asked her to guard the door, and she was notified of something, but she saw a suspicious person, so she chased after her, and when she came back, she saw that her wife was being supported, and the little maid hurriedly ran over, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Waste, what are you doing?" Aunt Xu slapped the maid in the face, but unfortunately she didn't have any strength, and the beating didn't hurt.

"Slave maid...... Slave maid" the maid covered her face aggrievedly

"Okay, Aunt Xu, I'll send you back, look at your current appearance, it's better to find a doctor to take a look, today is my mother's birthday, but there can't be any rumors to spread out, or everyone's face is not good-looking." Women will become very wary of women who appear next to their men, not to mention their identity, if they really make trouble, it will hinder their husband's reputation. She couldn't tolerate it.

Aunt Xu is a very charming woman, her husband must not make a mistake, she would rather give her husband a Yangzhou thin horse than let her husband have anything to do with Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu can't say her suffering now, she and the eldest prince are really just a cooperative relationship-

"Miss, it's done." Fu Jiayue came over to inform Zhou Xiya.

Zhou Xiya nodded, designed this time, just to plant a seed of doubt in Xiao Houye's heart, she knew that this could not get rid of Xiao Ruiqing at once, unless it was Xiao Houye who caught the rape in bed. Otherwise it's hard. But what she has is patience, sooner or later Xiao Ruiqing will suffer the consequences.

That night, Marquis Xiao knew what happened at noon from Steward Wang's mouth, and Marquis Xiao sat expressionlessly. No one knew what was going on in his mind. Everyone just looked at Hou Ye's face carefully. After serving Hou Ye Xiao for many years, the slave knew that the more calm the Hou Ye was.

Mrs. Xiao's birthday banquet was held for three days, and after three days, the relatives and friends who came to celebrate her birthday left.

"Little sister. My sister is gone, take good care of myself, and write to my sister if I have something. Zhou Xiqian took Zhou Xiya's hand and looked reluctant, she didn't have a sister-in-law, this cousin had the same temper, but unfortunately they had to go back quickly.

"My sister has a smooth journey, Yingtian and Yangzhou are not far apart, and my sister will definitely visit my sister often in the future." Zhou Xiya said.

"Okay, my sister is waiting for you, live a good life with my brother-in-law, he is a person worthy of trust." Zhou Xiqian whispered in Zhou Xiya's ear, patted Zhou Xiya's arm, and got out of the carriage with the support of the maid.

Here, Xiao Jingqing also said goodbye to his cousin and watched their convoy slowly leave.

"All left," Zhou Xiya sighed as she looked at the convoy.

"I miss your sister, so I'll go see her." Xiao Jingqing put his arm around Zhou Xiya's shoulders.

"Okay" Zhou Xiya rubbed her neck, "I've been tired to death these days, and I have been sent to so many people, no wonder my sister-in-law hasn't come out for a few days, and she must be tired." ”

"The sister-in-law didn't come out because the cousin and sister-in-law were closer to our room, and the sister-in-law was unprofitable and couldn't afford to come out early, and I guess the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't have the heart to give it away now." The corners of Xiao Jingqing's mouth curled.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiya turned her head to look at him.

"Don't forget the housekeeper Liu next to my mother you borrowed from me, my mother hates Aunt Xu very much, you said that if she knew that the relationship between the eldest brother and Aunt Xu was so close, would her mother be happy, and now she is probably settling accounts for the eldest brother." Xiao Jingqing smiled unkindly.

"Then let's go see the excitement?"

"Look at what's the excitement, my mother started a temper to affect you again, let's wait for the result, you're not tired, hurry back and rest." Xiao Jingqing pulled Zhou Xiya back.

"It's early in the morning, go back and rest something" Zhou Xiya stomped her feet.

"I said rest, rest," Xiao Jingqing couldn't resist and pulled Zhou Xiya away.

The maid walking on the road heard the words of her second son, smiled ambiguously, and didn't know where to go.

The next day, there was a rumor in the maid's group that the second son and the second lady were in love-

"This winter is really cold, and people don't want to move." Zhou Xiya sat on the soft couch and held the stove in her hand.

"Who says it's not, although the weather in our north is snowy and cold, but it is dry and cold, but this south is cold and cold, and the cold wind seems to blow to the bones, which is really a little unaccustomed." Mama Zhou, who was doing needlework on the side, frowned, those young people are okay, they are old, they are really not used to this kind of weather.

"Yes, Mama, you are also hard, after a long time, you will get used to it, add two more charcoal braziers at night, remember not to be smoked." Zhou Xiya comforted, she only had arthritis with Mama Zhou, and she came to the south, and she was very guilty in this winter and summer season.

"Yes, Miss doesn't have to remember us, and slowly she will get used to it." Mama Zhou smiled.

"Miss, how about you try this duck soup." Jinxiu walked in with a tray.

"It must be that girl who waits with the piano is fiddling with food again, it's really fragrant." Zhou Xiya smelled the fragrance wafting over, and felt a little hungry.

"No, Shiqin said, people here in Yingtian love to eat duck, we also have to follow the local customs, since we have arrived in the south, we must get used to the eating habits of the south, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, only the local eating habits are the most in line with the local climate. It's also the best for the body, this is not the best for the body, according to the taste of the locals, to improve the recipe, try to do it to the taste of the lady, I don't know if the lady likes to eat. Jinxiu nodded.

"It's really hard for that girl, if I want to say that I am most happy that my grandmother sent a few of you to me, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so comfortable."

"Miss, where do you speak, I can serve you. It is also a blessing for us. Miss treats us sincerely, and we follow Miss without worrying about food and clothing, which is a blessing that others can't ask for. Mama Zhou gave Zhou Xiya a bowl of soup.

Zhou Xiya smiled slightly and tasted the duck soup in small sips. A bowl of warm soup to eat. My body warmed up.

"Shiqin, this soup is good. Wait for Xiao Jingqing to come back at night, and make it for her to taste. Zhou Xiya praised it, drank a bowl and stopped drinking. If you drink too much, you won't be able to eat at noon.

"Miss, what is there thinking about my uncle now," Jinxiu laughed and hurriedly went out with the tray, and the rest of the duck soup was drunk by the sisters of them, and their saliva was about to come down.

"This girl" Zhou Xiya shook her head helplessly.

"Miss, it's been more than half a year since you entered the door, don't blame the slaves and maids for talking too much, the relationship between Miss and Uncle should be further developed." Mama Zhou vaguely reminded that whether the young lady and her aunt had sex together or not, they naturally knew.

My uncle has been guarding a woman for more than half a year and has not done anything, not because of his respect for the young lady, and my uncle has not gone to find other women during this period, which is really not easy for a man.

Zhou Xiya clenched the teacup in her hand, did she want to hand herself over to Xiao Jingqing?

Xiao Jingqing came over in the evening, and Xian'er, who was in Zhou Xiya's arms, immediately ran away from her mother's arms and pounced on Xiao Jingqing's "Daddy"

"Hahaha...... Xian'er" Xiao Jingqing lifted his daughter high.

"Okay, don't go crazy with your father and daughter, come and sit down, it's freezing to death outside." Zhou Xiya sat on the warm couch and beckoned to the two who were playing crazy.

Xiao Jingqing gave the cloak to the maid and sat down, "It's still warm in the house, I've grown so big, I've never seen snow in the south, but this year's weather is not right, like the strength of snow, there is news from the front, there are already some towns that have begun to snow, it seems that this heavy snow can't be avoided"

"It's hard for the poor to live now." Zhou Xiya grabbed Xiao Jingqing's hand and covered him.

"I'll cover my father's hands too" Xian'er saw Zhou Xiya's movements, and immediately stretched out her little fleshy hand to cover Xiao Jingqing's big hand.

"Daddy's good daughter." Xiao Jingqing kissed Xian'er, and Xian'er smiled happily and squinted.

"This girl, she speaks neatly, she runs fast, and now she will learn things." Zhou Xiya flicked her daughter's head, and it felt as if the child had grown up in a blink of an eye, it was really a day at a time, and for her, who had never been a mother, every day was a surprise.

"Our daughter is naturally the best, isn't it." Xiao Jingqing looks like a woman who has everything to do.

"Yes, dad first, Xian'er second." Xian'er nodded, her face was very proud, she knew that her father was praising her.

"Shameless little girl, your father is the first and you are the second, what about the mother, how many are the mothers?" Zhou Xiya pretended to stare at her daughter unhappily.

"Mother is also second, second in the ranks" Xian'er's big eyes rolled, and she immediately had a statement.

"Hahahaha...... This ghost spirit," Xiao Jingqing put his daughter's small body in front of him and smiled.

Zhou Xiya shook her head helplessly, this girl didn't know who she was with, and she had a belly of heart.

"I heard that you shipped a lot of cotton clothes and shoes from the north, and you made a lot of money this time." Xiao Jingqing spoke.

"Yes, the weather is abnormal this year, a steward found an experienced person, knowing that there may be snow in the south this year, so I rushed to make a large number of cotton clothes and cotton shoes, but I didn't expect the snow to really come down, the clothes were robbed as soon as they came, and there was a situation where shops around the country were in short supply, and my workshop was stepping up to catch up."

"That is, you dare to think and dare to do, if this snow doesn't fall, what will you do with these cotton clothes and shoes." Xiao Jingqing asked with a smile.

"Export is not good, of course, it is digested internally, you also know that my eldest brother has 300,000 soldiers in his hands at the border, if these clothes in my hands can't be sold, I have to go to my eldest brother and ask him to help, what he lacks the most is winter clothes, although it is not a military uniform, but it is also possible to wear it inside and outside to put on a military uniform, the method is something that people come up with, it is always feasible." Zhou Xiya pretended to be relaxed and said, where is it as easy to do business as she said, and she has made a lot of determination to produce so many clothes at once, for fear that the money will be wasted, even if the eldest brother will support her, but now the military salary given by the Ministry of War to the border pass is not paid on time, and the eldest brother is also struggling to live.

However, since she decided to take care of the family business left by Li Mu, even if it is not easy, she will not lose all of Li Mu's business, but fortunately, there are some capable people under Li Mu's hands, and with their help, she is much easier.

"Why, you thought of asking your eldest brother for help, why didn't you think of me." Xiao Jingqing was a little dissatisfied.

"Do I still need to ask you for help, if my husband, if I ask you, will you not help me?" Zhou Xiya looked directly at him.

"Of course I don't dare, Madame's order is a holy decree, and everything is respected by Madame's words." Xiao Jingqing hurriedly responded, seeing that Zhou Xiya didn't treat him as an outsider, Xiao Jingqing was very happy in his heart, especially Zhou Xiya's sentence that he was her husband, and his heart melted.

"Oooh oh...... Mother first" Xian'er suddenly said.

"Your mother first?" Xiao Jingqing didn't know what his daughter was talking about.

"Hehe... Let's Xian'er is saying, I'm the first in this family, isn't it, Xian'er" Zhou Xiya asked her daughter.

Xian'er couldn't stop nodding, her father was not as powerful as her mother, her father listened to her mother, and her mother was first.

"This girl" Xiao Jingqing rubbed her daughter's hair.

"This natural disaster, the people were affected, ordinary people may be able to buy a winter coat to survive the cold, but where do the poor people have the money to buy clothes, especially the laborers who built the canal for His Majesty, it is even more difficult, according to the information I have got, the laborers have been killed and injured a lot, plus the soldiers who are forcibly conscripted to fight the war, the rest of many places are old and weak women and children, such days are even more difficult." Xiao Jingqing's words were a little heavy.

He knew that everything the new emperor did had the shadow of the family, and it was his father who commanded these families, so his father was the culprit, in order to weaken the national strength and compete for hegemony in the world, his father did too much, and it was those poor people who suffered.

The officials forced the people to rebel and rose up, asking for the people's lives, but what about the father, maybe the father is quite an emperor, he just wants to be the one above 10,000 people, not to make the people's lives better.

Watching his father go step by step, he really didn't know how to persuade his father, all he could do was to try his best to make the people suffer less.

"I understand what you mean, a new batch of clothes will arrive soon, and I will donate eighty percent to the poor people." After thinking about it, Zhou Xiya said, this is her greatest ability, there are a lot of these eighty percent of clothes, and there are tens of thousands of them.

"Xiya, thank you." Xiao Jingqing held Zhou Xiya's hand tightly, it was his luckiest to have a woman who understood his mind in this life.

"It's easy to want me to take out the clothes, but these clothes are not in the name of your Xiao family, but in the name of your second son, Xiao Jingqing, I don't want to work hard for a long time, take silver, and send clothes, and the benefits are given to others." Zhou Xiya pretended to complain.

"Okay, whatever you want." Xiao Jingqing's smile deepened, everything she did was planning for him. (To be continued.) )
