When Long Xiangye's words reached Long Qiuye's ears, she was holding the six-month-old, white and chubby Xiao Taiji, standing in front of a sparse and slanting Suxin plum tree in the yard, holding Xiao Taihe's little hand in the meat nest, learning the child's tone delicately, and looking at her brother-in-law Xiao Xiangsheng who was standing beside her, "Please Daddy give us Tai and pick a Suxin plum, okay...... Isn't it good......"

Xiao Xiangsheng's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he was only hesitating how to speak.

Counting up, Long Qiuye has also lived in their Xiao family for half a year, and in these six months, Xiao Xiangsheng has indeed contributed money and efforts, spent a lot of effort, and used a lot of contacts, trying to let Long Qiuye be selected into the palace.

The emperor announced the selection of good family girls to serve in the palace, and the selection conditions were also extremely harsh.

Although many families are reluctant and unwilling to let their daughters enter the palace to suffer as palace maids, there are also many families who do everything possible to entrust people to send their daughters into the palace with the luck of one person attaining the Tao and the chicken and dog ascending to heaven.

In recent years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has had good weather conditions, the national strength has been thriving, and the population has increased rapidly.

Since Emperor Dezhen ascended the throne, the first selection of a good family girl gathered, and the competition was very fierce.

In this case, Xiao Xiangsheng still spent a lot of silver to help Long Qiuye open up many joints in the palace. Within half a year, the palace sent two eunuchs and two Shang Gong to come over to see Long Qiuye. As long as this level is passed, Long Qiuye enters the palace, and she is not an ordinary miscellaneous palace maid.

But somehow, after these people came to see each other, they all invariably told Xiao Xiangsheng that his sister-in-law was not suitable for entering the palace, so let him save some money and stop working around.

At first, Xiao Xiangsheng thought that Long Qiuye was too naïve, and she didn't know etiquette as her sister, and she offended those eunuchs and monks who were familiar with the etiquette in the palace, so she spent money to invite a Shanggong Xu Pozi who came out of the former court palace to teach Long Qiuye court etiquette.

According to Mrs. Xu, Long Qiuye is still very smart, and the things above the etiquette are thorough at all, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

But even so, after a Shanggong aunt recently sent out by the palace looked at Long Qiuye, she still rejected Xiao Xiangsheng.

Xiao Xiangsheng was very puzzled, and stuffed a large amount of silver tickets into this Shanggong aunt, just begging to die and be a ghost.

As a result, the aunt of Shanggong looked at Xiao Xiangsheng's handsome face with a smile, and said meaningfully: "With such a beautiful appearance and caring brother-in-law, which little lady is willing to go to the deep palace to survive for a long time?" - Even if she can survive it, with her background, she will be the life of making wedding clothes for people for the rest of her life. The little lady is an understanding person, you brother-in-law, don't pretend to be confused. After saying that, he giggled and left the Xiao family.

Xiao Xiangsheng realized that his first reaction was that Long Qiuye couldn't live in his house. Since he married Long Xiangye, he can be regarded as a husband and wife, and the only thing that does not agree is that Long Xiangye is too intimate to his mother's family, which is not a big problem. - What woman does not stick to her mother's house? It's abnormal not to stick to it.

What's more, Long Xiangye gave birth to two sons in a row, and he was a great contributor to their Xiao family, and he was full of gratitude to her and didn't want her to be unhappy.

Xiao Xiangsheng knew that he was very clear, if he wanted to take a concubine, Long Xiangye, who was a husband, would definitely not stop him, and maybe he would happily handle it for him, as long as he was happy.

But to accept her own sister is to slap her in the face in front of everyone. not only affects their husband and wife, but also how to deal with their two sisters-in-law?

Not to mention that he is not a good woman in the first place, even if he wants to take a concubine, it is Long Xiangye who can't give birth to a son, so he will carry a good concubine into the door in order to pass on the lineage. Now that he has two sons, there is no reason to take a concubine. said that it was for the sake of less noisy disputes in the family, and he would not go to eat enough to carry Long Qiuye back as a concubine.

Ever since that Shang Palace revealed Long Qiuye's true intentions to Xiao Xiangsheng, Xiao Xiangsheng has been looking for an opportunity to make it clear to Long Qiuye that since she doesn't want to enter the palace, she will go home and let her mother find a good family to marry, and continue to stay in the Xiao family, which is delaying her.

Long Qiuye hid his face behind Xiao Taihe's big head, and secretly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiangsheng's face.

is so handsome, even if she is asked to be a concubine, she is willing......

"Second aunt and grandmother, our lady said that the second aunt and grandmother have worked hard, and the adoptive mother who just invited has already entered the door, and she wants to take the second young master over, and she will let the adoptive mother take it in person in the future. Now the palace has selected a good family girl has been out of the list, the second aunt and grandmother have not been selected, our wife is also very sorry, let the second aunt and grandmother not be sad, our wife must help the second aunt and grandmother choose a good family business, and then add a dowry thickly, and marry the second aunt and grandmother out of the house to be the original match. "The maid who came to talk back and forth is the most powerful big girl around Long Xiangye, Herui, not only articulate, but also extremely smart and motivated, following Long Xiangye to read and learn words, is her most powerful right-hand man.

When Long Qiuye heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he looked at Xiao Xiangsheng with his lips together, "...... Brother-in-law, do you want me to go too? ”

Xiao Xiangsheng was angry in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that his subordinates and children were here, he would have scolded him.

Damn! What do you do with this look? It's like you're having an affair with her!

Sure enough, when the subordinates present heard Long Qiuye's words, you look at me, I look at you, and they all smiled knowingly.

Originally, according to the folk customs of the Great Zhou, the relationship between the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law was unclear. There is even a saying that the sister-in-law is the brother-in-law's half-pulled ass, and it doesn't hurt if it doesn't hurt white, and it doesn't hurt if it doesn't touch it. It's all mixed noodles under the water, you eat it and I see it, everyone tacitly agrees, what kind of innocent and ruthless pretend......

"I'm here today to tell you about it. Since the matter of entering the palace is not done, it is not a problem for you to live here all the time. Besides, your parents are both complete, but you live in the house of your sister who got married, and this word has spread out, which really damages the reputation of your Long family's scholarly family. I remember, your brother is about to say goodbye, right? If the Long family has a bad reputation, how can any girl be willing to marry your brother? ”

Xiao Xiangsheng joined the army at a young age and survived in the army. After retiring from the army, he started from a small point to achieve the position of a big salt merchant today, and the various bloody storms he experienced were really not enough for outsiders. Long Qiuye's level of seduction and planting is really not enough for him to see.

Long Qiuye blinked, his nose turned red, and tears rushed out of his eyes.

Xiao Xiangsheng took his hand, turned to He Rui and said lightly: "Go and bring the second young master over, and I'll go with you to see Madame." Then he turned back to the mother-in-law who was waiting on the side and said, "Why are you still stunned?" Didn't you listen to Madame's orders? ——Go pack up for the second aunt and grandmother and send her back to the Long family. After speaking, he covered his forehead with his hand and looked at the sky, "Be faster." Look at this cloudy day, maybe it will snow, don't delay the hour. ”

He Rui smiled and stepped forward to hug Xiao Taiji from Long Qiuye's arms.

Long Qiuye didn't expect Xiao Xiangsheng to pick up his pants and not recognize people, he was so angry that his whole body trembled, hugged Xiao Tai tightly and refused to let go, he simply looked at Xiao Xiangsheng's back and said loudly: "Brother-in-law! If you don't want me, why do you come to my room in the dark every night?! ”
