Hearing Long Xiangye let him go over to speak, Xiao Shiji had no choice but to stand up slowly, walked to the bottom of the porch outside and asked, "Where is the old lady?" Is there anything that matters? I have business to do, and I'm going to go out for a while, so it's not good to delay. If it weren't for anything important, I wouldn't have gone first. - In the end, business matters, my mother will understand. "The mother-in-law he sent to inquire about the news came back and said that the old lady went to the second room to see the second young grandmother.

The mother-in-law was the confidant mother-in-law beside Long Xiangye, and said with a reserved smile: "Uncle, it's late now, what official business can't be done tomorrow?" The old lady is at the second young grandmother, and she really has something important to do, so let the uncle go over and speak. - Uncle has always been the most filial, this old lady is not in good spirits, and she must be angry when she looks at the uncle. ”

Xiao Shiji snorted, sank his face, and asked the woman's face with his hand: "You are getting more and more unsuccessful." I'm the eldest brother, you let me go to the younger sibling's room, what kind of heart do you have? Even if it's an old lady, she won't be so brainless, it must be your mother-in-law who is talking nonsense. - Come on, drag me down and beat me hard! ”

The woman didn't expect Xiao Shihe to do it again without saying a word, she was so frightened that she didn't care about the difference between master and servant, so she hurriedly turned around and ran out of the courtyard.

This mother-in-law is a celebrity next to the old lady, and she has always had a face in the Xiao family, and Xiao Shi and the people in the courtyard didn't dare to make a sound, so they closed their eyes and let her go.

Xiao Shiji stood at the bottom of the corridor, and did not let anyone chase him, but just smiled coldly, and instructed the people in his courtyard: "I have official business, and now I have to go out." You are here to keep an eye on the gate of the courtyard, and no one can be let in without my command, do you hear? After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, left his courtyard, and went out of the second gate along the verandah, and went to the outer courtyard.

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Yanran were silent when they heard the movement outside in the house. After Xiao Shiji lost his temper and left, Du Hengshuang cheered up and gossiped with Xiao Yanran again. Only then did he apologize: "My face hurts a lot." I can't talk to my sister anymore. ”

Xiao Yanran hurriedly got up and said goodbye, "I saved it, I bothered me." Sister-in-law is going to give birth to a child, I will come to see you tomorrow. ”

After Xiao Yanran left. Ou Yangniang and Zhihua both came in. Worriedly, he asked, "Grandma." Do you want to send a message to Madame? "I want to send someone to talk to Du Hengshuang's mother-in-law, Fang Yanniang. The daughter was wronged in her mother-in-law's house, of course, she had to find her mother's family to support her.

Du Hengshuang shook his head and sat alone in front of the lamp. The lonely figure became thinner and thinner, "Let's wait for now." When the uncle came back, I discussed it with him and then dealt with it. ”

Fang Yuniang taught her that the husband and wife should discuss things with each other, and they must not look at each other's affection and be each other's masters.

As a result, Du Hengshuang kept holding his head, sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for the third watch, and at the gate of the courtyard, a handful of mothers-in-law and maids sent by Long Xiangye came. Of course Du Hengshuang won't go, these people were blocked back by the two big-shouldered and round-waisted mothers-in-law guarding the courtyard gate, but Xiao Shiji hasn't come back yet. She was so sleepy that she had to sleep alone.

Because of something in his heart, Du Hengshuang didn't sleep well all night, and tossed and turned over and over on the bed like a small house, and only took a nap when it was almost dawn.

Xiao Shihe didn't return overnight, and only came in through the hanging flower gate of the second gate at the end of the morning, but saw Long Xiangye's eldest maid Herui standing by the door, talking and laughing with the mother-in-law guarding the door.

Seeing that Xiao Shiji had finally returned, He Rui hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Uncle is back." The old lady knew that the uncle had gone out last night, and she was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night, so she ordered the slave and maid to wait for the uncle here early this morning. - Uncle, go with the slave and maid to see the old lady, but the old lady is in a hurry. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Xiao Shiji said quietly, took a step back, "Let me go back and wash up first, and then go to see my mother?" ”

He Rui smiled: "The old lady asked the slave to go back to her life when she saw the uncle." Don't embarrass the slave and maid, uncle. As he spoke, he saluted Xiao Shiji again.

Xiao Shiji lowered his head and thought about it, it's okay, Hengzhu is going to pass today's pass, he has everything arranged, just hurry up sooner rather than later, and then instructed the mother-in-law guarding the second gate, "Send someone to my yard to talk to the eldest young grandmother, just say that I went to see my mother, and I will go back in a while." ”

The woman answered, and went to pass the word in person.

Du Hengshuang was freshening up in the house. I didn't sleep well last night, and my eyes were full of gray, but the redness and swelling on my face dissipated a lot. - The plaster of Zhu Su is really good.

I heard that as soon as Xiao Shiji came back, he went to Long Xiangye's yard, Du Hengshuang was extremely disappointed, and silently went out for a long time, so he instructed Ou Yangniang and Zhihua, "Yang Niang, Zhihua, don't wait, pack up the suitcase, let the outer courtyard prepare the car, and when the uncle comes back, we will go back to our parents' house." ”

Ou Yangniang and Zhihua were also very sad in their hearts, but they also knew that when this kind of thing happened, the uncle ignored it, and simply went out of Lu for a night and didn't come back, this Xiao family really couldn't stay. There is such a big contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if he, a man, can't solve it well, Du Hengshuang will lose.

After three days of marriage, he went back to his mother's house to live, although his reputation was not good, it was better than giving his life in the future, so he answered in a low voice, and went to direct the little maids to pack up the packages and daily things.

The mothers-in-law in the courtyard held their breath and didn't dare to make a loud noise.

The whole courtyard was quiet, except for the occasional birdsong, which made people even more upset.

Xiao Shiji followed Herui into Long Xiangye's courtyard, bypassed the interstitial screen and the small corridor hall, and came to the steps of the main house.

The little maid guarding the door raised the soft silk bamboo curtain of Xiangfei early and invited Xiao Shiji to enter.

Xiao Shiji paused at the door, the fist in his hand loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, before crossing the threshold and entering the upper room.

Long Xiangye was still freshening up in the back room, and when he heard Xiao Shiji coming, he hurriedly said: "Let him come in, I waited for him all night, this unfilial son can think of coming back." "There was such a big incident yesterday, he actually dared to leave, and he didn't let people go to his yard to summon Du Hengshuang, which is really unfilial.

Mei Xiang, the big girl who was waiting in the back room, bypassed the interstitial screen partition of the eight Huanghuali ladies hairpins with more than one person, and came out to salute Xiao Shihe. "Uncle."

Xiao Shiji bowed his head indifferently and walked to the inner room.

Long Xiangye was sitting upright in the blue gauze cabinet placed against the wall, holding a snow-white silk in his hand, his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.

Xiao Shihe bowed, "My mother called my son over, is there something important?" ”

Long Xiangye pointed to the brocade in front of him unhappily, "Sit down, can't I call you here if there is nothing to do?" ”

Xiao Shiji hurriedly said: "Don't dare, my son's morning and dusk province has never been broken." Mother said so. My son can't afford it. "I only dare to sit down on my side.

Long Xiangye is very satisfied. He evened his face with a silk and asked, "Where did you go last night?" I heard that you didn't go back to your room all night? Alas, you're newly married, how can you do that? Even if your wife ......"

Xiao Shiji interrupted Long Xiangye's words. "I had business last night. So I went out for a night. It has nothing to do with frost. ”

Long Xiangye lowered her eyes, the corners of her eyebrows were slanted upward, and she looked like "you know what I know".

Mei Xiang walked in with the bird's nest stewed in water. smiled and said, "Old lady, it's time to eat with swallows." ”

Long Xiangye knocked on the small table in the blue yarn cupboard.

Mei Xiang put down the small stew pot, opened the lid, poured out the snow-white bird's nest stewed in it, and then put a silver spoon on it to let the dragon fragrant leaves use slowly.

Long Xiangye picked up the silver spoon, scooped a mouthful of bird's nest and put it in his mouth to chew slowly.

Xiao Shiji coughed and glanced at the maid who was waiting in the house.

These maids and wives understood, and they all retreated in twos and threes.

Long Xiangye knew that Xiao Shihe had something to say, so he deliberately kept silent, and only lowered his head and took a silver spoon to stir in a small porcelain bowl.

Xiao Shiji exhaled deeply, softened his voice and said, "Mother, can you be nicer to Shuang'er in the future?" ”

Long Xiangye didn't expect Xiao Shiji to dare to intercede with Du Hengshuang, threw away the silver spoon with a snap, and said with a sinking face: "What nonsense are you talking about?" When did I treat her badly? Do you want me, a mother-in-law, to provide for her? ”

Xiao Shiji hurriedly stood up, lowered his head and said: "Mother is angry, I just thought, even if it is not for the sake of my son, even if it is for the sake of my sister who has not come out of the cabinet, my mother should be better to Shuang'er." ”

"What's the matter with my family?" The thin willow eyebrows of the dragon leaf are raised even higher.

Xiao Shiji said with a smile: "Mother, don't you know, my son went out on an errand last night, and I heard someone talk about our Cao family, and I was very emotional." ”

"The Cao family? Is that the Cao family who opened a silk shop? Long Xiangye frowned, "What's wrong with their family?" ”

"The old lady of the Cao family is moody, and the two daughters-in-law of the Cao family are either beaten or scolded every day, and her reputation is very bad. Now that the little lady from the Cao family is over fifteen years old and has not yet found her mother-in-law's house, does her mother know what the road is? ”

Long Xiangye pursed her lips, and said in her heart, how can the stinky woman from the countryside of the Cao family be compared to herself? The mother-in-law knew that Lu Dao was blindly brutal, and beat her daughter-in-law to cry wolf, but she was a good player, and she couldn't see anything wrong on the outside, but she suffered a lot on the inside.

Besides, she is not dissatisfied with Shuang'er's daughter-in-law, but she has been angry with Fang Yuniang for so many years, and if she doesn't find a place in Du Hengshuang, she is not angry. Which daughter-in-law doesn't let her mother-in-law rub it? ——The daughter-in-law who refuses to be rubbed by her mother-in-law has a bad reputation......

"Their family can't be on the stage in the first place, do you care if their little lady can marry out?" Long Xiangye glared at Xiao Shiji, blaming him for not talking nonsense about the horse's mouth.

Xiao Shiji sighed in his heart and continued: "Just because her mother's reputation is too bad, everyone says that there is such a mother, this little lady is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and everyone doesn't want to marry his family." Helplessly, their family was already planning to hire this little lady to go out of town. ”

"What do you mean?" Long Xiangye finally understood the meaning of Xiao Shiji's words, and said with a straight face: "Are you saying that if I beat your daughter-in-law yesterday, my reputation will not be good?" Your sister won't be able to get married? - What kind of nonsense is this! Your sister follows me, De Jong is perfect, supple, and obedient, how can you compare your sister with the unruly little lady of the Cao family? ”

After speaking, Long Xiangye cried again, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and whimpered: "I really don't know which way the fairy has collided with and married such a poisonous woman!" I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Xiao family! I'm going to the ancestral hall to cry my lord! - Not only did it kill the heirs of our Xiao family, but it also hindered your sister from finding a good family. I really can't afford to be a stirrger like this! That's all for now. Boss, I really can't bear it, you divorce her! ”

Xiao Shihe's forehead was bruised, but he still knelt down straight, and said to Long Xiangye: "Mother, I swore in front of the Buddha that I only know Shuang'er alone in this life." Unless I die, I won't be separated from her. - If you want to divorce your wife, you will never be able to. ”

"You!" Long Xiangye was angry and anxious, and patted Xiao Shiji's shoulder twice. "You're going to die alive, aren't you? A word from her. Just let your second brother and sister have a miscarriage, such a woman, you are still a baby?! ”

Xiao Shiji stiffened his shoulders and received a few slaps from Long Xiangye. He said in a deep voice: "Mother." The matter of the miscarriage of the second brother and sister. It has nothing to do with frost. If my mother wants to blame, blame me. It was I who asked the second brother to discipline his daughter-in-law who committed a foul of tongue, and the second brother slapped the second brother and sister. Now that a big mistake has been made. It's me who is sorry for the ancestors of the Xiao family, so my mother will open an ancestral hall and remove me. "I'd rather be expelled from the Xiao family than give up Du Hengshuang.

Long Xiangye stared at Xiao Shiji in a daze for a long time before sneering: "I don't know, it turns out that my son is actually a lover!" ”

Xiao Shiji knelt in front of Long Xiangye, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Shuang'er does not abandon her son for the sake of righteousness; Unswervingly, it is for affection. Such a loving and righteous woman, I want to divorce her, I am not as good as a pig and a dog! - Don't say that you are not worthy of being the Xiao family, even men are not worthy of being them! ”

Long Xiangye also estimated that Xiao Shiji would not divorce his wife. has just been newly married and is heating up, how can she divorce her wife because of this little thing, she is just a test and beat a side drum.

If Xiao Shiji agreed, of course everyone was happy. If he doesn't agree, she has a back hand to wait.

Seeing Xiao Shihe's reaction, Long Xiangye changed his face, patted Xiao Shiji's face with regret, and said: "Alas, I also know that Shuang'er is something I grew up looking up with, and she is also impatient, if you want to say how bad her heart and eyes are, it doesn't matter." I'm just afraid that you'll suffer, so I'll give you a try. - Get up, kid. The palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, how can I not think about you? ”

Xiao Shiji stood up and still sat down on the brocade in front of Long Xiangye.

When Long Xiangye saw that the fire was coming, he showed his hole cards, changed his words, and said: "But your second brother's firstborn son is indeed because the relationship between your big house is gone, I feel sorry for you, I also feel sorry for your brother, and the child who was gone before he was born." Why don't you take a step back, and since you have lost your brother's eldest son, you can compensate them, don't you think? After speaking, he stared at Xiao Shiji closely to see how he answered.

Xiao Shiji lowered his eyes, propped his hands on his knees, and sat there, Yuan stopped Yue Zhi, half a body taller than Long Xiangye, "How does my mother want to make up for it?" ”

A smile bloomed on Long Xiangye's face, clapped his hands, and said, "In this way, if you give half of our Xiao family's wealth to your second brother, I will no longer pursue it, and I will treat your daughter-in-law as if she were my own daughter, what do you think?" deliberately biting the word "Xiao family" shows that she is talking about the common property of the Xiao family, not the family property earned by the eldest son himself.

Xiao Shiji raised his eyes, glanced at Long Xiangye, and actually asked with a smile: "Mother really wants to divide the common property of the Xiao family to the second brother?" ”

Long Xiangye thought that Xiao Shiji had agreed, and was very proud, and nodded: "Of course, I have always been a person with a bowl of water. As he spoke, he wanted to order someone to call Xiao Taiji over.

Xiao Shihe raised his hand to stop it, and said slowly: "Mother, you should know that the family property left by your father is long gone, right?" ”

"Wouldn't it? Aren't all the shops you have now left behind by your father? "Long Xiangye pretended not to know, trying to and thin mud. Anyway, Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang took a loss this time, and they didn't make good use of this opportunity, after this village, there would be no such shop.

Xiao Shiji chuckled, "Mother is forgetful. The property left by my father was lost by my mother, and before I met King Yijun, the money for our family to live was given by Shuang'er and their family. Saying that, Xiao Shiji stood up, and said leisurely with his hands: "To tell my mother the truth, the property shared by our Xiao family is only a pile of IOUs. Later, I earned the silver myself, and I once wanted to return it to the Du family, but Aunt Fang insisted on not accepting it. Now that my mother took the initiative to mention that she wanted the second brother to share half, I was a little reluctant to go. - That's it, I'm the eldest brother, suffer a little loss, just let him pay off 30% of the debt, not half of it. The remaining seventy percent, I will pay it back alone. ”

Long Xiangye was so angry that his molars gritted his teeth, pointed his finger at Xiao Shiji, and his eyes burst out with hatred, and he didn't choose to say anything for a while, and said everything that shouldn't be said, "You know what Lu Dao said about it, and you still play sloppy with me." You're deliberately trying to go against me, aren't you? I warn you, if you disobey me again, I will go to the yamen to accuse you of unfilial piety! Your reputation for unfilial piety spreads, King Yijun will no longer trust you, your future will be ruined, and you will not be able to become an official! - You don't know how to do it, you are a person who wants to climb up with all your strength, how can you not care about your reputation?! ”

Xiao Shiji also had a cold face, looked around, and saw that everyone was hiding far away, snorted, and said heavily: "Mother, do you know what I am doing outside?" ”

"Huh?" Long Xiangye was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Xiao Shiji asked such a question, and said in a daze: "Aren't you a subordinate official of the palace?" Six-pin Xiao Cavalry Captain? ”

Xiao Shi and Da Lu laughed, then smiled, raised their hands and said, "I have a nickname on the Tao, known as 'Xiao Yan King'. - Mother, do you want to count how many lives I have had on my hands in the past eight years? ”
