Not surprisingly, the Mirror paid the price for Xiao Jing's stubbornness.

After the current issue of the newspaper sold well, the next issue of the newspaper immediately suffered a Waterloo, not counting the number of subscriptions, and the retail sales were only 60% of the usual amount.

In contrast, Pan Feiyu's new newspaper has once again become the darling of many readers. In the past, when the Mirror newspaper was the best-seller, the street vendors used it to wrap themselves in food, but now the new newspaper with stuff can be seen everywhere.

"I don't have to think about how the mirror newspaper did it, obviously someone followed the mission, and the news sent out was not as good as the new newspaper. I heard that Xinbao sent several groups of reporters, not only interviewed the soldiers who were at the scene at the time, but also connected with the officials of the mission, so people can write the wonderful assassination scene, and my son is really addicted to it......"

Shao Ning heard these words on the street and almost got into a fight with the person who spoke.

Does this dog have a brain?

In total, less than twenty days had passed, and the mission and the escorted troops had remained in the nearby states and counties since that day and had not moved south. The incident happened so far away, and it took nearly ten days to send the letter quickly, and the people from Xinbao would go north after the news was received in the capital, so the question is: How did this person interview witnesses and send the news back in such a short time?

I didn't collect some information by hearsay on the way, so I hurriedly ran back to make up a manuscript!

Shao Ning finally held back and didn't do anything, and his pride as a news reporter made him leave with his head held high after giving the other party a "king's contempt".

As the son of a businessman, he actually cares very much about the sales of newspapers, but Xiao Jing is his brother, and all Shao Ning can do is unconditional support.

The attack on the mission is a major event that has not happened for a long time, and the last time there was such a conversation, it was the grassland to send relatives and Xiao Jing to rob relatives, and it was the aftermath of this incident that lasted in the capital for more than half a month.

When the heat of the conversation was finally about to pass, the mission returned to Ruidu.

Xiao Jing, who is now considered an official, went to the Ministry of Rites with the surviving officials and ran back to the Xia family in a hurry. After two and a half months of going out this time, his heart grass flew from the distant north to his family's side.

Before entering the door, I saw Xia Honghan, who was a little thin, smiling and taking Steward Xia to greet him in front of the door. The father-in-law came out, Xiao Jing didn't dare to hold it up, he hurriedly jumped out of the car and said, "The son-in-law has seen the father-in-law." ”

Xia Honghan's mood was surprisingly good, and with a smile on his face, he stepped forward to support his son-in-law, and said loudly: "A virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to be polite. You have worked hard here, you can rest when you get home, Hugh has to take care of the chores outside, just accompany Xue'er and Ziqian more. ”

Xiao Jing responded with a smile. Even if his father-in-law doesn't speak, he has to hide in the gentle countryside.

"When you go to the grassland, you can be regarded as brave and strategic, and you didn't embarrass the Xia family." Xia Honghan patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "There are not many people who can talk to the Great Khan of Beihu very happily, and that is today...... Those important ministers in the court are afraid that they don't have the ability to talk and laugh in front of him. Good boy, a little capable. ”

Xiao Jing said modestly: "How can the son-in-law have as much ability as you said, but it is because of your good teaching on weekdays, and the luck of the son-in-law is not bad, so that there is such a result." ”

Xia Honghan was very satisfied with his humility and smiled: "As for the future......

He pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Your official position is just a fictitious position, and if you don't assign errands, you don't need to pay attention to it." If someone asks you to come out to do something, if you don't want to, just talk to the old man, and quit. ”

Yes?

Xiao Jing's brain is a little insufficient. When did my father-in-law become so reasonable?

Hasn't he always been ashamed that I don't have an official position? Didn't he keep talking about the dignified Xia family, just me? Isn't it something he will definitely mention every time he speaks when he enters the court?

Which one is this singing today?

Just as I was pondering, my mother-in-law also came out. He nodded at Xiao Jing with a smile, turned his head and glanced at Xia Honghan again, and said, "Husband is really, Jing'er just came back and you pestered him to say irresponsible things, I don't know if Xue'er is waiting to see through?"

Xiao Jing was stunned.

yes, where's Cher?

The father-in-law and mother-in-law should be waiting for him to meet him in the hall, and the two of them may only be in a good mood when they come out. So, why didn't Cher, who was supposed to appear, appear? She's her own wife, and the men in the family have to show up anyway when they return from a long trip, right?

Suspicious, Mrs. Xia pursed her lips and smiled: "Jing'er, go and take a look, don't pay attention to your father-in-law, he has been a little stunned recently, if you talk to him here, I'm afraid I can pull you until dark." ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "It's okay, my son-in-law has been away from home for more than two months, and I think that my father-in-law misses me very much, and as a junior, I should accompany him to talk...... Ah, where are you going? ”

Before he finished speaking, Xia Honghan's face suddenly changed, and then he turned around and walked away without looking back.

Others may not have seen it, but Xiao Jing saw it very clearly: her mother-in-law's manual movement should have been twisted on Xia Honghan's waist, depending on how hard she used...... The person who is screwed must be in pain.

There was no time to pity his father-in-law, Xiao Jing walked into the mansion quickly.

The closer he got to the quarters, the more he had a strange feeling.

There seems to be a different atmosphere in the house. Correspondingly, even the subordinates have changed a batch, and he doesn't know any of the few people who seem to be taking care of Xue'er's daily life.

Xiao Jing pushed the door and walked into the room without waiting for anyone to report.

What caught my eye was a beautiful young woman who was sleeping.

Xia Hanxue had a book on her lap. Her arms were propped up on the table, her cute little head was held in both hands but she nodded her head slightly, she should have been a little sleepy halfway through reading, and she was dozing off at this moment.

Hearing the knock on the door, she was startled, and after a short period of surprise, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she called softly: "Husband! ”

As she spoke, Xia Hanxue got up and wanted to salute, but the servant woman who followed Xiao Jing in immediately stood beside her, looking very nervous.

Cher smiled and signaled that it was okay, and the two servants walked out hesitantly.

As soon as the door closed, Xiao Jing stepped forward and grabbed Xue'er's hand, making a gesture to hug her into his arms.

It may be that his movements were a little more urgent, Xia Hanxue took a step back slightly, and said angrily: "Why is the husband so eager, don't you have anything to say to the concubine when you return from a long trip?" ”

Xiao Jing scratched his head and said with a smile: "Naturally, there are words, but some thoughtful words can only be said in Xue'er's ear, and they are far away for fear of being heard by others." ”

Xia Hanxue's starry eyes flickered, and after a moment of shyness, she finally smiled sweetly: "Husband, there will always be others who hear it!" ”
