Chapter 176: Tongue-in-cheek

Mother Qin seemed to hear something, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Second wife, you must be calm." Hasn't the old lady turned her face with you yet? Aren't you still the second wife of our Jiang family? Don't get dizzy and lose your sense of proportion......"

When the second wife heard this, the cruelty in her eyes subsided a little.

She took a few deep breaths, grabbed the teapot she was holding, poured a full glass of water, and threw her head up to drink it.

After calming down, he nodded and muttered, "That's right...... I'm still the second wife, I'm still Yude's wife, as long as this hasn't changed, I can endure any grievances, I can endure it......"

Mother Qin breathed a sigh of relief. The second wife must not run to turn her face with the old lady, in that case, she will not be able to hide all those things back then.

The old lady did a great job this time, but she happened to get stuck in the bottom line of the second wife, the second lady values the second master the most, as long as she doesn't move her, the second wife will not jump her feet.

Here, the business was settled, and the old lady took the eldest lady to walk around the yard.

The afternoon sun shines down, and the yard is warm.

After walking around, the eldest lady said that Hou Ye was in a hurry to return to Beijing, and there were important matters waiting for him to deal with.

The old lady knew that the eldest lady was talking about the scene, a fictitious Xin Ninghou, how could there be anything important to deal with?

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Master Hou, a man is not afraid of bumps, but you can't be a person with a body." I rushed to the road today, so I have to rest, and it's not too late to go back tomorrow. ”

The eldest lady also smiled and did not refuse, but only said that she would ask the Hou Ye what he meant.

The old lady immediately sent Cuixiang to Zheng Tingxuan to tell the Jiang family that they wanted to leave dinner and ask him what he thought.

Jadewood returned after a while. Xidao: "Miss old lady." The eldest aunt should take a bite. Explain that you can go again in the future. ”

The old lady nodded and smiled, took the eldest lady's hand and said cordially: "Since this is the case, it doesn't hurt to stay for one more day." ”

The eldest lady just smiled lightly.

At dinner, the eldest lady was not unpleasant, so she also went to the main hall to eat.

Because it was inconvenient for her son-in-law to sit with her daughter, Hu's mother settled down and inserted Jiang Yonghong and Jiang Yongkun in the middle, and the eldest lady and the third lady were on the young lady's side. Miss Four and Miss Six.

With such an arrangement, the eldest lady and the eldest aunt were far apart, and the old lady was very satisfied with this.

The dishes on the dinner table are all Zheng Tingxuan's favorite food, which was specially instructed by Hu's mother to the kitchen.

Zheng Tingxuan loved to drink and liked fine wine, so the old lady sent okra to the cellar in the afternoon to get a few jars of Yuchun to brew.

Sure enough, Zheng Tingxuan was very happy, drank most of the jar with a high degree of alcohol, and invited the uncle Jiang Yonghong next to him to drink.

Jiang Yonghong didn't drink alcohol, so he waved his hand and excused himself. Zheng Tingxuan no longer persuaded this little Langjun more, and he could drink hard by himself.

Su Xue glanced at Zheng Tingxuan. Bow your head and eat silently.

She had been wondering what the old lady was watching before, but when she saw that the eldest lady was leading the eldest aunt into the house, the old lady immediately responded to the eldest lady's wishes and ordered someone to go to the ancestral house to pick up the eldest lady back, and Su Xue understood.

Just looking at the appearance of the eldest aunt, it really doesn't look like he can achieve great things. The so-called officials are only three generations, and I am afraid that this is the kind of person I am talking about.

Everyone at the banquet gradually stopped chopsticks, and the maids brought tea to rinse their mouths.

I was about to disperse, but unexpectedly, Zheng Tingxuan suddenly stretched out his hand to Su Xue, stared at the jade on her waist, and exclaimed, "You actually have this jade?" ”

Xu drank some wine, and Zheng Tingxuan's voice was raised.

Everyone looked over, and Su Xue no longer hid it, and responded with a light smile: "I saved someone's life, and the other party gave it to show gratitude." ”

The old lady also stared at the piece of jade, and wanted to ask which one was so generous, but Zheng Tingxuan smiled again: "That's really a coincidence!" I happen to have one here. ”

The old lady chuckled in her heart, looked at Zheng Tingxuan again, and secretly screamed in her heart.

Auntie's look, could it be that she has a crooked mind?

Thinking about it, he immediately said: "It can be seen that this jade must be precious, Sister Xue'er couldn't have saved the relatives of a powerful person in Beijing?" ”

Su Xue smiled awkwardly, and before she could speak, Zheng Tingxuan hurriedly said again: "This jade is naturally precious, do you know its origin?" ”

Zheng Tingxuan's eyes were slightly drunk, but he seemed to be shining with a sharp light, staring straight at Su Xue.

The eldest lady glanced at Su Xue with a sneering face, and wanted to say a few words, but when she saw Zheng Tingxuan's virtue, she was too lazy to speak.

"This kind of fine ancient jade is inlaid with a small piece of obsidian, which is from the hand of Chongxizi, a jade craftsman in the court of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is all produced in pairs, so it is also called Lover's Pei. Now that Chongxizi has passed away, this skill has long been lost. Folk rumors that he left three pairs of lovers in the world, and later the Great Xia perished, Emperor Wu ascended the throne, and established the Chen State, but Emperor Wu was mediocre and brutal, and the Chen State was short-lived, and only lasted for decades, and the first emperor led the troops to attack the imperial capital. After a few drifts, this noble jade that originally belonged to the palace has been scattered among the people. ”

Zheng Tingxuan drank leisurely and said slowly. Everyone looked at the piece of jade on Su Xue's body, and their eyes were also a little surprised.

Zheng Tingxuan put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Not to mention its preciousness, just because it is a pair of lovers, so the meaning is special, if it is given to you by a man, it is intended for you." ”

Su Xue was stunned when she heard this.

Pei Ye's face suddenly flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel confused.

The old lady glanced at Su Xue a few times, and then looked at Zheng Tingxuan, this eldest aunt said such a lot with the strength of wine, is it really a thought?

When the second master heard these words, his face sank, and he turned his head and asked: "Su Xue, your grandmother allowed you to go out of the house to the hospital to save people, and your father didn't stop you, but whether this thing should be accepted or not, you must have a number in your heart." Anyway, who gave this to you? ”

Su Xue heard the solemnity in the second master's tone, and couldn't help but stand up, and hurriedly explained: "Father, don't misunderstand, in fact, this is a life wife, the daughter saved her son, she is grateful, and she only brought this jade pendant with her, so she ......"

She paused a little weakly, and hurriedly said, "So this has nothing to do with the lover Pei that the eldest brother-in-law said." As for who the woman was, she really didn't know. The daughter only cares about the pulse and prescription, and never asks the other party's origin, as long as she comes to the hospital to see the disease, no matter whether she is high or low, she is treated equally. ”

When the second master heard this, his face softened slightly.

It's good that it wasn't given by a man.

Su Xue going to the hospital to see people is already his bottom line, and if these idle things are reborn, what is the reputation of her girl's family?

Seeing that the second master no longer asked, Su Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, Zheng Tingxuan smiled heartily again, patted the table and said, "That's the case." But it's really fate, the piece in my hand was obtained by my father by chance, left for me, but unfortunately only this piece, I didn't expect to meet another piece in my lifetime, and it just happened to be a pair of lovers to wear. ”

Zheng Tingxuan said that, smiled again, raised his head and drank the Yuchun brew in the cup.

The second old man was already pale.

Zheng Tingxuan said such words as "lover Pei" for no reason, which was obviously a deliberate joke.

Rao is he, Zheng Tingxuan attacked the marquis, what about it? After all, she is also the eldest aunt of the Jiang family, how can she joke about Su Xue on such an occasion? What a disregard for decency!

The second old man was a little angry, but the old lady smiled secretly, this eldest aunt really can't change that bad character.

Talking so much around the bend is nothing more than saying it to her and the second master.

Look at that virtue, married Yuanling, and took several concubines, and now he has even started to fight Sister Xue'er's idea.

But Sister Xue was taken by Young Master Pei, so it's not worth it to give you Xinninghou a little.

The banquet was suddenly silent, and everyone's eyes swept between Zheng Tingxuan and Su Xue with deep meaning.

The eldest lady's face changed and changed, but in the end, she forced out a smile, turned her head to Su Xue and smiled: "Third sister, don't listen to his nonsense, your eldest brother-in-law is deliberately teasing you!" ”

The second master also laughed and said: "It seems that the Yuchun wine we treasure in the house is quite strong, Narcissus, remember to call two more maids to help the eldest aunt go back to the room to rest." ”

The second master directly treated Zheng Tingxuan as a drunk, and the drunken jokes naturally did not count.

The old lady also followed: "Wait for a while to boil some sobering soup and send it over, so as to save a headache tomorrow." ”

Zheng Tingxuan saw that everyone was helping Su Xue play the round, and he was not annoyed, he just lazily propped himself on the table, turning the empty cup in his hand, and looked at Su Xue opposite with a smile.

Su Xue thought that he would stop it, but who expected him to suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, but he still didn't vomit or be unhappy, and said: "Actually, I really haven't seen what this other lover looks like, I don't know if it's inconvenient for the third sister to take it off for me to take a closer look?" It's also a long-cherished wish of mine. ”

Su Xue secretly took a breath, it seemed that Zheng Tingxuan didn't plan to let go when he caught the reason for this jade pendant.

She just wanted to pump herself with a big mouth at the moment, why did she wear this piece of jade?

The last time she wore this piece of jade and was seen, she had secretly made up her mind not to wear it again, but after a few days, she seemed to be hypnotized, and she couldn't help but let Miaomeng take it out......

Looking at Zheng Tingxuan's aggressive gaze, Su Xue took a slow breath, immediately lowered her head and took off the jade pendant, pulled the eldest lady's hand sideways, and said with a smile: "Su Xue has always felt that saving people's lives is accumulating blessings and virtues, but now it seems that it is true, otherwise she would not have won this jade pendant by mistake." Since the eldest brother-in-law said that it was a pair, Su Xue should fulfill this lover's long-cherished wish and give it to the eldest sister, which can be regarded as a gift from the aunt! ”

After that, he smiled and looked at the eldest lady's lower abdomen.

The eldest lady was immediately overjoyed, grabbed Su Xue's hand and said with a smile on her face: "The third sister really has a heart!" ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and whispered, "Look at how good your aunt is?" ”

Su Xue couldn't help but tighten her palm as she grabbed the jade pendant, and finally gritted her teeth and let go. (To be continued......)
