Qingyuan, Xujiazhuang

Big room backyard study

Xu Yu sat leisurely on a chair, watching the drizzle outside the door, while holding a scroll and reading, very comfortable.

When Huang Lian'er came with the maid, she saw this scene and couldn't help but smile: "You are chic, and the fight is about to start in front." ”

After that, Huang Lian'er asked the maid to move a stool for her to sit down, then took out a soup cup from the food box she brought with her, filled Xu Yu with a small bowl of soup, and handed it to her husband.

Xu Yu took the soup bowl, saw that the soup was bright, but the taste was fragrant, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, he picked up the spoon and took a sip, only to feel that the taste was sweet, and there was a faint spicy taste, which was very appetizing.

"It's delicious, what kind of soup is this."

Xu Yu drank the soup bowl down, sighed, and asked.

"Gastrodia duck soup, haven't you had a headache recently, I specially sent someone to my second sister to ask for some good ten-year gastrodia, this gastrodia can just dispel wind and relieve pain, you can get better after drinking." Huang Lian'er gave Xu Yu another bowl of soup.

Xu Yu listened to it, and took the soup bowl happily: "It's still the lady who thinks about me, you are so virtuous, how can the husband leave you." ”

Huang Lian'er has a gentle temperament, although she has been married to Xu Yu for two years, she still can't accept making love with him in front of the maid, and she secretly glanced at him when she heard the words, but she changed the topic by herself.

"There's such a lot of fun in front, why don't you really go and take a look?"

"What to see, mediocre people disturb themselves, why do you need to ask more." Xu Yu smiled nonchalantly.

Huang Lian'er was still a little hesitant, and persuaded her: "It's all a family, if it really makes a big fuss, it won't be good for you, or you can persuade it, and there are no effective people around you, although there are some gaps in your own brothers, but don't always be trustworthy than outsiders." ”

…………

Xu Yu handed the soup bowl in his hand to the maid, and looked at his wife a little strangely: "You have always been idle and don't care, why do you start speaking for them now, no, this is not like you can say it, why, someone has found you?" ”

Huang Lian'er also knew that she was a little bit of Taoism, and she couldn't hide the extremely smart husband in front of her, so she waved away the maid and said softly.

"Yesterday, the second aunt, the third aunt and your younger brothers and daughters-in-law came to me together, said all the soft words, begged each other with good words, and asked me to say some good things for you, so that when you go to Beiling, take Xu Yan and a few of them to work together."

Xu Yu raised his eyebrows: "You answered this matter?" ”

"If you didn't speak, how could I nod."

Huang Lian'er shook her head, but then said: "But I thought about it later, what your second aunt said is not completely unreasonable, although Xu Yan and the others are not angry, they are indeed your cousins, with their help, it is more convenient for you to do things in Beiling."

After all, this time is different from the past, when I was in Qingyuan, you were the only literati under my brother-in-law, so naturally I entrusted you with all kinds of things, but now he is a three-grade heavy general, in charge, and there is a world of difference from back then.

Although the two of you are brothers-in-law, it's hard to say that your brother-in-law can still rely on you a little, with the help of these brothers, it is better than you fighting alone in Beiling. ”

Huang Lian'er crossed her fingers and analyzed it carefully, but Xu Yu looked funny, how could he not know his wife's temperament, she could say this, it must have been carefully considered, and it was indeed for her own good.

It's just that Huang Lian'er doesn't know enough about the second and third rooms, when she got married, Xu Yu had already turned over by relying on Yan Kui, and with the support of Huang Wei'er, the general's wife's sister-in-law, Huang Lian'er's status in the Xu family was transcendent.

On weekdays, I let this family hold it, and I don't know the face of the Xu family's second and third rooms in private.

Shaking his head in his heart, Xu Yu didn't explain much, just held his wife's hand and instructed: "You don't care about this matter, I know it in my heart, in the future, the family will bother you with this matter, you will push it all to me, and don't promise anything." ”

Looking at her husband's expression, Huang Lian'er also felt a little that she might have done something wrong in this matter, so she nodded obediently when she heard the words.

"I listen to you."

Xu Yu smiled gently, hugged his wife, and patted him gently to show comfort, but when he looked at the front yard, his eyes were cold.

…………

Yesterday, the day after He Chun was ordered to return to Qingyuan, he brought people to Xujiazhuang and sent Xu Yu an appointment document.

General Pingbei is the commander of the army, and he is the sixth rank.

This is no less than a step to the sky for Xu Yu, you must know that the imperial examination is the first champion, and the emperor's official is only compiled from the six-grade Hanlin, of course, the six-grade Hanlin and the six-grade master are two concepts.

But no matter what you say, this is a six-grade official position, and after receiving this document, the Qingyuan County Commander has to call Xu Yu a subordinate official.

From lifting people to rising to the top of the sixth, Xu Yu's experience is estimated to make countless scholars jealous, but he himself is indeed quite indifferent.

In fact, Di Yi has always wanted to take the road of the imperial examination, enter the Hanlin, enter the Sixth Ministry, serve as a local official, and then return to Beijing, and finally enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister.

This is Xu Yu's ideal officialdom career, and it is precisely because of this that the last time the bandits were successful, Yan Kui won the eight-rank official position for him was politely rejected by him, the reason is that he wants to take the imperial examination, which has a higher starting point and rises faster.

However, what Xu Yu didn't expect was that although he was promoted in the last township examination as he wished, Yan Kui rose faster.

In the Jin and Zhou wars, in addition to Di Yi and Peng Kuohai, the two commanders of the Jin army, the highest meritorious service is Yan Kui, from an unknown six-rank lieutenant, to a three-grade Pingbei general who fought on the battlefield, and now he is holding military power, shocking the border, and is the leader of the younger generation in the Northern Jin army.

No matter how high Xu Yu is, he prides himself on being outstanding in learning, but in front of Yan Kui, the general of Pingbei who has made great achievements, he can only bow his arrogant head, and he is ashamed.

After that, as Xu Yu expected, Yan Kui sent someone to Qingyuan to ask him to go out of the mountain and give him a heavy responsibility, thinking of the difference between the identities of the two now, Yan Kui's actions can be regarded as an extraordinarily polite corporal.

Xu Yu did not refuse again, although he still had the heart to take the imperial examination, but he would not throw away the six-rank official sent to the door and go to the hard work of Bala to gain fame, Xu Yu was not so pedantic.

He gave up the Bapinguan and wanted to go to the imperial examination before, in order to have a better starting point and promotion route, but now that Yan Kui is the general of Pingbei and has his back against this brother-in-law, Xu Yu is confident that his future promotion route will not be inferior to that of the ordinary second-rank jinshi.

So why did he refuse?

Just in order to be saddled with the so-called reputation of relying on his wife and relatives in the future, he doesn't have the backbone to come from his own imperial examination?

Xu Yu is no longer a teenager, he is burdened with the hopes of the whole family when he marries a wife and has children, so he will naturally not be willful, which is too stupid.

……………

In addition, Xu Yu's other thought of agreeing to Yan Kui's invitation was to sigh for Yan Kui not forgetting the old man.

To tell the truth, Xu Yu refused Yan Kui's olive branch at the beginning, and stubbornly wanted to go to the township for the scientific examination, although the two did not have any disagreements and quarrels at that time, and even Yan Kui intimately helped him to sort out family affairs, but no one knew whether Yan Kui was angry about it in his heart.

Xu Yu thought that there should be.

He could clearly feel that Yan Kui's attitude towards him was slightly cold at that time, more important things, since then, although Yan Kui entrusted him with a lot of confidential and important matters, but some secrets that touched Yan Kui's core have never been touched by Xu Yu.

Later, after Yan Kui and Huang Weier got married, the two became brothers-in-law, Xu Yucai felt that Yan Kui's attitude towards him was much more relaxed, and before going to the front line, he even entrusted him with family affairs.

But Xu Yu knew that in addition to himself, Yan Kui must have left other back-ups.........

It's too late to say this now, Xu Yu didn't regret his previous choice, after all, he has been studying hard for more than ten years, and taking the exam can be regarded as a reward for his hard work, but at the same time, Xu Yu is also a little moved by Yan Kui's move to trust him despite his previous suspicions.

Anyway, although he was not wrong in that incident at the beginning, it was indeed a little inauthentic for Yan Kui, who trusted him with all his heart, and now Yan Kui still treats him very sincerely, and he can only try his best to repay.

…………

As for what Huang Lian'er said, it is also very simple, that is, the second and third rooms of the Xu family saw that Xu Yu was valued by Yan Kui, and the official was invited out of the mountain, and Xiao Jiujiu was raised in his heart.

I want Xu Yu to pull two rooms and two rooms, bring several cousins to Yan Kui, and mix them up in official positions.

Xu Yu is naturally too lazy to take care of this stubble, he is not a fool, when he lost power before, how did the second and third rooms treat him, Xu Yu can remember it all.

The reason why he couldn't bear it was because he took into account the old lady Xu, who was almost old, and didn't want the old man to see the Xu family fighting each other in the three rooms, killing each other, and damaging the number of lifespans.

In fact, Xu Yu has already made up his mind, as soon as the old man leaves, he will split up after keeping filial piety, and it is good to get out of the second and third rooms honestly.

If he is not honest, Xu Yu will not hesitate to suppress it, and the second and third rooms are wrong to think that he is a humble gentleman.

Xu Yu was ruthless and could help Yan Kui eradicate the two mountain bandits who had been in trouble for many years.

Xu Yu only hid these things in his heart, and he didn't want Huang Lian'er to bother, so he didn't tell him that today's oolong incident happened.

Thinking of this, Xu Yu's eyes flashed again, when He Chun came before, he had informed Yan Kui of what he meant.

Now that the situation in Beiling is still unstable, it is best for Xu Yu not to bring his family with him, and when the situation is stable, he can let Huang Lian'er and Huang Wei'er sisters move to Beiling together.

Originally, Xu Yu thought that if his wife stayed at home for a year, the husband and wife could be reunited, which was not a big deal, but now it seems that if he is not there, it will be difficult to ensure that the second and third rooms have any heart for his wife, Huang Lian'er is a scheming person, but he can't fight the group of white-eyed wolves.

Thinking of this, Xu Yu's eyes moved, and he came up with a safe strategy for going forward in two ways.

First, he picked a useless one from the second room to take away, stabilized the stronger second room, and by the way, instigated the relationship between the two rooms, let them pinch each other, and naturally had no time to deal with Huang Lian'er.

In addition, because his son is by Xu Yu's side, the second room may also think about his own family and help maintain Huang Lian'er.

Second, Xu Yu plans to call Huang Qiang'er, the second wife of the Huang family, to accompany his wife at home, unlike the gentle and gentle eldest sister Huang Lian'er and the third sister Huang Wei'er, Huang Qiang'er is a strong and pungent character, and she is also the smartest of the three daughters of the Huang family.

With her protection, his wife Huang Lian'er will definitely not be able to suffer.

Thinking of this, Xu Yu informed his wife of his intentions, he didn't say anything about the filthiness of the second and third rooms, but only because he left by himself, afraid that Huang Lian'er would be lonely, so he asked the second sister to accompany her as an excuse, and by the way, he also helped her deal with family affairs.

Since Xu Yu was admitted to the promotion, Huang Lian'er, as the daughter-in-law of the long house, has the right to be a housekeeper.

Huang Lian'er was born in a small family, she didn't know much about the housekeeper's tricks, and Xu Yu secretly helped her before, but now Xu Yu is going to Beiling, and Huang Lian'er can only bear it, she is secretly worried, Xu Yu just used the excuse to find Huang Qiang'er.

"You tell her that your brother-in-law won't let her contribute in vain, and the errand will be done, and I will find her a wishful husband."

After arranging his wife, Xu Yu also had the heart to make a joke, causing Huang Lian'er to roll her eyes.
