Hua Wei has not come to propose marriage, but someone came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, this person's surname is Xu Mingben, and it is Xu Xiaopei's uncle who fled to Changshu. But now he is no longer Zhang Shicheng's staff, as soon as he turned around, he became Lao Zhu's courtier, and in the criminal department, although the officials are not big, they have a lot of power.

However, it is not a fart in front of the marquis, but Ma Du still took Song Shuang to entertain him personally, after all, he was Song Shuang's Suzhou hometown. Xu Ben was very polite, "I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect that Xianmei is already a wealthy lady, which is gratifying." ”

"Mr. Xu said with a smile, but your demeanor has not diminished back then, so I will let people invite Xiaopei and my eldest brother."

Xu Ben bowed his hand and said: "Don't let Brother Song see the joke, it's better not to publicize the ugliness of the family, let people find Xiaopei at the right time." ”

Song Shuang asked rhetorically: "Family ugliness? Why is the family ugly? ”

Xu Ben looked at Ma Du with resentment, "A yellow flower girl has lived in someone else's house for seven or eight years, and she doesn't even have a name, and Mrs. said that she is not a family ugly." ”

Song Shuang interacts with those wealthy ladies all day long, and has shrewd people like Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Tao to give guidance, although she is still very arrogant, but she is not the nervous woman she used to be, so she naturally knows what Xu Ben is referring to.

She covered her mouth and chuckled: "Mr. Xu misunderstood, Sister Xiaopei is at my house, just to help me take care of the housework, manage the business in the shop, and teach the little girl in Zhuangzi to read when I have time, it is definitely not what you think." ”

"Really?" Xu Ben's eyes were a little disappointed.

"That's natural, although my lord is not a gentle, courteous and humble gentleman, he is still reliable in terms of women, not to mention that Xiaopei and I are like sisters, how could I wronged her to stay in my house without a name or share."

What he said made Ma Du not embarrassed, Xu Ben didn't know how to answer, and he muttered for a long time before saying: "That's the best, I'm here to take Xiaopei home, just to find a good family affair for her." ”

Twenty-four years old is a good time to enjoy life and enjoy the pursuit in later generations, but if a woman in ancient times has not yet married, she is definitely an old girl.

Song Shuangxi said: "But the person who is in love with Xiao Pei and keeps filial piety at home, this person is really only now coming to Mr. Xu to propose marriage." Although I am reluctant to know Pei, I also hope that she will have a good home. ”

This mother-in-law obviously took Xu Xiaopei's words seriously, who will keep filial piety for six or seven years, unless Lao Tzu has just died and his mother has died, it is really okay if there is such an unlucky person who does not marry.

The private life was repaid, Xu Ben hurriedly denied it, "The person mentioned below is often familiar with the county, unfortunately his wife died of illness, and Xiaopei just married to make a continuation." ”

"Then I am familiar with the county, shouldn't I be the one who recommended Mr. to enter the court as an official?" Ma Du sneered in his heart, this person is really a good calculation, if Ma Du has anything to do with Xu Xiaopei, he will hug his thighs, and if he has nothing to do with it, he will use his niece to repay Li as a political ally.

"Exactly, but the lower officials can enter the court as officials, and they also pass the assessment in the Ministry of Rites." Xu Ben was quite proud of his words.

Song Shuang didn't care how he became an official, and patted the table gently, "How can Mr. Xu let Xiao Pei be a steproom, it's not that he was wronged." ”

"Hey...... I don't want to, but after all, Xiaopei's age is there, and I'm afraid it's hard to find someone who is the right age and the right person. Besides, the county is not very old, two out of forty are in the prime of life, and the person is also upright and elegant, which is really a good match......"

As she was talking, Xu Xiaopei stepped into the house, according to her ghostly eyes, she must have been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, and sure enough, the first thing she said when she saw Xu Ben was, "Uncle, if your niece doesn't marry, she will never marry for the rest of her life!" Her face was calm, but her mouth was unusually determined.

Xu Ben patted the handrail heavily and said angrily: "Marriage is a big event, the life of your parents, your father and mother died early, I pulled you to grow up, and I should be in charge, where is your nonsense, why don't you clean up quickly, and go home with me to save yourself embarrassment here." ”

Xu Xiaopei said coldly: "If my uncle really cares about my niece's marriage, why let me stay in Yingtian to spend my years, if it weren't for the wife who is often familiar with the county, my niece will not be able to marry in this life...... Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ben had already stood up angrily and slapped Xu Xiaopei's face heavily, this slap was obviously not the first time that he had no scruples, Xu Xiaopei was beaten and fled with his face hidden.

"Presumptuous!" Ma Du slapped the table heavily, "Xu Ben, I don't care if you teach your niece, but if you beat Mr. Xixi in my house at Benhou's house, that is, you won't give Benhou face." ”

Xu Ben also realized that he had done something wrong just now, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaguan was angry for a while and couldn't help but teach this girl a lesson, and asked Master Hou to forgive him." ”

"If you have a prestige in the Benhou Mansion, you can do it with a crime, what kind of face does Benhou have to go to the court again." Ma Du slapped the table heavily, "Five-six, five-six, you're fucking deaf, why don't you hurry up and beat this guy out." ”

Zhang Wuliu soon rushed in with a wooden stick, this guy was honest and beat Xu Ben fiercely, poked Xu Ben's chest with a wooden stick and said viciously: "Are you going or not!" ”

"Five or six, as soon as you come up, knock on the crook of his leg, if he can go, it would be weird, hurry up and get him out." Waiting for Zhang Wuliu to drag Xu Ben out, Ma Du asked Song Shuang, "Madam, why didn't you stop it just now, anyway, this Xu Ben is also your fellow villager, and he has some friendship with his eldest brother." ”

Song Shuang snorted heavily, "He has a relationship with his eldest brother, that's his business, I just can't be angry when I beat Xiaopei, I won't tell you, I'll go see Xiaopei." Song Shuang got up angrily, and turned back after just two steps, "Xiao Pei was beaten by her husband, but she was more indignant than me, isn't it ......?" ”

Looking at her eyebrows fluttering expression, Ma Du knew what this melon girl was thinking, and he couldn't explain it to her, and she couldn't understand it if she did. As a Lala, if Xu Xiaopei is asked to share a bed with a man and perform the ceremony of husband and wife, it must be extremely painful, such as letting Ma Du and a man ......

With such a picture, he didn't dare to imagine that Ma Du would rather die, Xu Xiaopei had worked hard in the Ma family for many years, and it was also appropriate to help her, but I am afraid that this person would have to participate in Ma Du's book.

Back then, Song Ke didn't even serve as Zhang Shicheng's staff, but he could see through that Zhang Shicheng couldn't do anything, but Xu Ben was Zhang Shicheng's hardcore. Zhang Shicheng died, Xu Ben ran to Changshu for refuge, which was originally a wise choice, but when Lao Zhu wiped the butcher's knife and killed him, he came out to be an official again. This is a talented but visionless fool, and Ma Du is not afraid of him.
