Su Yuming clenched her teeth, her body trembled a little, she has always been polite and observant, even if she and Xue Chunyue have mutual affection, they have treated each other politely, and have never exceeded the etiquette system, and now her husband actually said the word "elopement" to her and another man at will, which made her ashamed and angry. After calming down a little, she secretly laughed again, the so-called "flower candle in the cave room" was just a forced purchase and sale with the help of aphrodisiacs, and he still had the face to talk to her about the meaning......

"Good...... Now that you've got everything you want, what else do you want from me?! How much effort do we have to waste on such a senseless thing? Aren't you tired? ”

Xue Huijin's anger had accumulated to a commanding height, and seeing that she was still not convinced, she was angry and slapped Su Yuming with her hand. Yu Ming was unprepared, and suddenly her center of gravity fell heavily under the action of inertia, and her forehead hit the corner of the coffee table, the coffee table overturned, and she also fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the cuckoo, who had just come back from hot water, hurriedly called out, put down what was in his hand and ran over to help her up, but when she saw that the corners of her forehead were already bruised, she couldn't help crying in fright.

Seeing Su Yuming who fell to the ground, Xue Huijian's wine was already half awake, and after being stunned for a while, he hurriedly walked over to help her up, and asked nervously, "How is it?" You okay? I didn't mean to......"

Su Yuming endured the pain, raised her hand to push him away, and turned her face away, "It's okay." Du Juan, you wait for the eldest young master to freshen up, I'm tired and want to rest......" After speaking, he walked into the room without looking back, put down the curtain, and left Xue Huijin to stay where he was......

Early the next morning, Xue Huijin took leave for Su Yuming at breakfast, saying that he had a wind hit when he went back last night and had a headache, so he stayed in the room. She had a wound on her forehead, which was naturally inconvenient to see.

Xue Chenggui just nodded, instructed a few words to delay the medical treatment and take medicine, and then turned his head and talked about the fact that the household department planned to recover the right to purchase military rations.

"I believe that the Wu family already understands this matter, but they just pretend to cover it up for the sake of stabilizing people's hearts. After the Junchuan Division took back the power to run the grain, the military grain was transferred from the granaries of the officials in various places, and at that time, whether by water or land, the people who were requisitioned by the imperial court alone could not transport it, and in the end it was necessary to rely on the power of our transporters. Chunyue, after this spring break, you need to go to Beijing to find out the movements of the household, if you really want to recruit private transporters, our Xue family will naturally take this business. ”

Xue Huijin was puzzled and said to Xue Chenggui, "Father, we are the imperial merchants of the imperial court, and my grandfather has a deep foundation in the household department, and the size of our Xue family's fleet is second to none. If the imperial court wants to requisition private transporters, how can we have less of our Xue family? Why take the initiative to be courteous and provoke criticism? ”

"People go to tea and cool, your grandfather has been dead for more than ten years, and the head of the household department has changed two or three rounds, where is there any foundation? Now several princes compete with each other for power, the household is the focus of contention, several forces have penetrated, and the people who do things are constantly changing, if we don't do anything anymore, we will only get farther and farther away from the decision-making center! ”

Aunt Ma saw that Xue Chenggui's tone was stern and her son had suffered a loss, so she came out to play a round, "Jin'er is also worried that our Xue Jiashu will make a big move, don't be angry, master, come, eat a piece of osmanthus cake to moisten your throat, this is what my sister and I personally cooked for you." As he spoke, he put a snack in his bowl.

Aunt Ma is well-known for her gentleness and thoughtfulness, and she is even more gentle to Xue Chenggui so gentle that she can wring out water. She was born in a small business, and since she was a child, she has not been constrained by those red tape and family rules. After marrying Xue Chenggui, everything is more important than the husband, so it can tie Xue Chenggui's heart the most. Xue Chenggui and her have a son and a daughter, respectively, the eldest son Xue Huijin and the third daughter Xue Yuxue.

Hearing Aunt Ma's soft words of persuasion, Xue Chenggui couldn't get angry, took a bite of dim sum and continued, "After Chunyue leaves, Huijin will continue to take care of all the affairs of Ding Taihe, it's been a year since you got married, it's time to take care of your heart, put your mind and energy into the family business, don't always make articles on the trivial matters of the boudoir and make people laugh!" ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew what Xue Chenggui said, Xue Huijin and Su Yuming's little awkwardness after marriage, everyone saw it, these three words were actually reproaching him for not knowing how to manage husband and wife.

Xue Huijin shrank his head, hurriedly lowered his head, and nodded yes.

Xue Chunyue captured a hint of a strange atmosphere, Xue Huijin and Su Yuming's married life was indeed unsatisfactory as rumored......

Xue Chunyue knew his father's intention to transfer him out of Haizhou, one to make a buffer, Xue Huijin has presided over Dingtaihe for more than a year, even if he is a son-in-law, he can't snatch all the power in his brother's hands as soon as he comes back, so he naturally takes the opportunity of the adjustment of the shipping business to push the boat to take power; Second, it was just for the sake of the marriage contract between him and Ye Qinyu, and he deliberately asked him to enter Changxing business.

No matter how reluctant Xue Chunyue is to face Ye Qinyu, but the restructuring of grain and grass procurement is a major event, and most of the private grain merchants who currently cooperate with the imperial court hire Ding Taihe to transport, but if the imperial court takes back the right to purchase military grain, the transportation matter will not necessarily be handed over to Ding Taihe. Empress Lu's maiden Rishengchang intends to set foot in the shipping business, and it is not impossible for Empress Lu and King Xu's mother and son to secretly exert their efforts to persuade Emperor Hongyuan to give this big business to Rishengchang.

It is related to Ding Taihe's operating income and cannot be left alone, so it is inevitable to go to Beijing to find out that the territory has been consolidated, as for Ye Qinyu, let it be. Moreover, in order to make Xue Huijin feel at ease, it is inconvenient for him to stay in Haizhou longer, or, wait for Yu Ming to conceive a child and come back, at that time, the way they get along with each other should be much smoother.

Thinking that Yu Ming would give birth to her and other men's flesh and blood in the future, Xue Chunyue's heart ached slightly, once upon a time, he imagined his future life countless times, but no matter how he imagined it, he would have Yu Ming in his life, as well as his and Yu Ming's children...... I didn't expect that the will of God would make people so good, in the final analysis, it was the girl of the Ye family who made him lose his free body! Thinking of this, Xue Chunyue felt a boredom in his heart, which was difficult to calm down for a long time in the night.

Hongyuan fourteen years Mengxia.

Xue Chunyue, who has just returned to Haizhou for less than three months, is about to leave again, this time, to Changxing, the capital of the Great Cause and the largest political and economic center of the Great Cause.

After experiencing the family banquet for Xue Chunyue, Su Yuming deliberately distanced herself from Xue Chunyue, except for the dinner that had to be eaten together as a family, she almost completely avoided all possible opportunities to meet Xue Chunyue.

Seeing that the departure was imminent, Xue Chunyue finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sent his personal guard Xue Xuecheng to send a letter to Du Juan in private, asking her to hand it over to Su Yuming and ask her to meet in the Fuzhong Palace on the eve of her departure.

Du Juan and Xuecheng have known each other for a long time because of the relationship between Xue Chunyue and Su Yuming, and whenever Xue Chunyue and Su Yuming met in the past, the two of them would leave without disturbing them, so the relationship between the two was not strange. To be honest, Du Juan was very happy about Xuecheng's return, so although he hesitated after receiving the letter from him, after seeing his enthusiastic eyes, he gritted his teeth and promised to hand it over to Su Yuming.

Xue Chunyue waited until the end of the day and the beginning of the day, and finally waited for the person he wanted to see.

"Yu Ming!" I saw her walk through the corridor from afar, and he had already greeted her.

Yu Ming did not bring the cuckoo, but came alone, and after seeing Xue Chunyue, she hesitated, standing in place and not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"Don't worry, my brother went to the docks today, and he won't be back when he arrives."

"If he's not there, you shouldn't have asked me out......"

Yu Ming's eyes were full of hesitation, of course she knew that she shouldn't go to the appointment, but when he went out this time, when he came back, he might already be someone else's husband, thinking of this, she couldn't control her steps.

Xue Chunyue walked over in three or two steps, stared down at her for a while, and suddenly hugged her into his arms!

Su Yuming was shocked, and the lantern in his hand fell to the ground. She knew she should push him away, but her hands were as heavy as lead, and she had no strength but to gently grasp his arms.

"Chunyue, this place is Xue Mansion, I am your eldest sister-in-law......"

"Is he treating you badly?" After a long time, Xue Chunyue let her go, and her bright eyes stared at her deadly.

"There's nothing good or bad, it's like respecting each other......"

"Respectful? Yu Ming, do you think I'm a three-year-old? Why don't you come out for breakfast on the second day of the feast? You've been trying to avoid me ever since? ”

Su Yuming pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before saying, "Hui Jin still cares about the past between me and you, our family has a lot of mouthfuls, if something comes out, it will not be good for you...... You are the son-in-law of the family, and you will inherit the family business in the future, if others say that you and your eldest sister-in-law ...... Have an affair with your eldest sister-in-law...... I'm afraid it will affect your reputation and inheritance. ”

The emotions that had been suppressed for a year finally couldn't be suppressed, and Xue Chunyue raised his voice, "I can also build my own career without the inheritance of the Xue family!" Isn't the foundation of the Xue family in Silla something I worked hard for? A year ago, I proposed to take you with me, but you didn't even think about it, and you refused, do you know how uncomfortable I am? ”

"I am the eldest daughter of the Su family in Huaxing, how can I do such a thing? If I leave with you, how will my father gain a foothold in Haizhou? If...... If I were just an ordinary person, even if it was a maid next to you, I would have more confidence than my current identity...... Between you and me, it should be considered that there is no fate......"

Her words reminded Xue Chunyue of her life experience, Su Yuming's mother died of illness when she was a child, and her father soon continued to do so, a child who has no mother, no one loves her, and she has no status, so she can only be careful in everything she does, lest she anger her father and stepmother. The child born to the new lady became the new child of the Su family, and her identity as the eldest daughter of the Su family became an empty name, and her status became very embarrassing.
