Chapter 15: Persuasion
"W-How can you say this euphemistically?" Liu Lanzhi asked puzzled.
Tang Ning patiently explained: "Actually, it's very simple, just say that I need you to go to the government to take care of me. You see, I'm usually in the government office, I can't even eat hot food, no one even washes my clothes, and I'm sick this time, isn't this the best excuse for you to follow me to the government office? The only pity is that the conditions in the government are not as good as at home. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as I can leave the house and the two of us are together, even if the conditions are worse, I'm willing." Liu Lanzhi said happily, but then she reacted, and hurriedly remedied: "That, don't get me wrong, Xianggong, I, I don't want to work at home and serve my mother, I, I don't feel sorry for you." ”
"Alright, alright, I know it. Do we still need to explain so carefully between husband and wife? Tang Ning said with a smile.
Listening to Tang Ning's gentle and considerate words, Liu Lanzhi's heart was sweet, but she still had a trace of worry in her heart: "But Xianggong, will my mother agree to let me go to the yamen to accompany you?" ”
"This requires a little means, lady, you listen to me and tell me that as long as we are like this, I think it should be almost possible, but this requires a little bit of your dowry, but don't worry, I will compensate you twice in the future......"
Before Tang Ning could finish speaking, Liu Lanzhi blocked his mouth with his little hand and said: "Xianggong, what are you talking about, Lanzhi is yours now, not to mention those dowries, and they are used to honor their mother, let alone any compensation or not." ”
Seeing that the problem had been basically solved, Tang Ning was very determined, and at this moment, Wen Xiang Nephrite was full of arms, he suddenly had something else, so he whispered in Liu Lanzhi's ear: "Lady, since you don't want me to compensate you with gold and silver, then I will compensate in another way." As he spoke, he was about to press Liu Lanzhi under him.
Liu Lanzhi hurriedly struggled and said: "Xianggong, you, your illness is not cured yet, no, you can't do ......."
Tang Ning retorted unconcernedly: "My illness has long been cured. Also, do you know what is the other reason why Grandma doesn't like you? That is, we have been married for more than two years and have no children. You must know that unfilial piety is great, so we have to hurry up. ”
If Liu Lanzhi dares to straighten her waist and say that she has nothing wrong with other places, but in this case, she knows that she is at a loss, not to mention that her sister-in-law has already given birth to two, but she has not even moved one here, which is too much to say. However, she also has grievances about this, that is, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are together every night, and her husband can only come back if he is on a holiday (that is, our weekend holiday), and then he can't get a few rooms a month except for his monthly letter, so the natural chance is much smaller.
Therefore, when she heard her husband say that she should hurry up, her struggling body gave up resistance and let her husband grope on her body first and then gallop.
The next morning, Tang Ning got up refreshed and went out to prepare for persuading Jiao's mother, while Liu Lanzhi, who had been tossed by him for half a night, was lying on the bed exhausted, but at this time, looking at the back of her husband who was far away, the doubts in Liu Lanzhi's heart became bigger and bigger.
In fact, as early as last night, when the two were chatting, she felt that her husband seemed to have become different from usual. Not only is it gentle and considerate, but it seems that no matter what problems it encounters, it looks like it is confident, and it seems to be very reliable. If it weren't for the appearance and voice without any abnormality, she would have wondered if it was a different person.
And when it comes to having sex, this suspicion is even greater, because usually when the husband and wife have sex, the husband goes back and forth, but today is full of tricks, and the shame of tossing himself is unbearable, but he feels much more comfortable than in the past. Thinking of this, Liu Lanzhi became even more determined to accompany her husband to the mansion, even if it was not to avoid her mother-in-law, just to watch her husband, this time she had to go!
Just when Liu Lanzhi was thinking nonsense, Tang Ning had already prepared things and came to Jiao's mother's room, and as soon as he entered the door, he said enthusiastically: "Mother, this was rewarded by Lord Taishou a few days ago, and I saw that it was being used with you, so I brought it back for you." ”
As soon as I heard that it was something that Lord Taishou had rewarded, the gift that was not very valuable immediately rose to a higher level in Jiao's mother's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Son, what credit did you make this time, Lord Taishou actually rewarded you with such things?" ”
"It's not a credit, it's just that I have completed a few things that Lord Taishou has entrusted to me in private, so as soon as Lord Taishou is happy, he gives these rewards." Downing pretended not to care.
And Jiao's mother said in surprise when she heard this: "Oh, son, you have to be too heavy, and even leave your personal affairs to you, then you have to do it well, maybe you can be promoted after a while." ”
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Tang Ning pretended to sigh, and then said: "Hey, in fact, if I hadn't been sick this time, maybe I would have been promoted to be the chief bookkeeper in the next few days." ”
"Hey, that's a shame! If only you weren't the one who got sick this time. Jiao's mother also said regretfully.
Downing complained, "How could it be someone else's illness? Other officials are either near the yamen, or their wives are by their side to follow and take care of them, like I can only go home when I am resting, and there is no one to wash my clothes and cook food, so how can I not get sick after this? ”
Then he said: "Mother, why don't you just let Lanzhi go to the mansion with me, so that someone can take care of me at ordinary times." ”
Jiao's mother didn't want to agree, but when she heard that this question had affected her son's career just now, she was a little hesitant, Tang Ning saw that Jiao's mother was a little shaken, and hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot: "Auntie, don't worry, although Lanzhi went to the government with me, there is one less helper in the family, and I have to work hard for the eldest brother and sister-in-law, but I promise that I will be responsible for the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home in the future, presumably the eldest brother and sister-in-law should not be dissatisfied." ”
Hearing Tang Ning say this, Jiao's mother suddenly felt that her status in the family was questioned, so she snorted coldly and said: "You are in the mansion, that is the right thing, everything you do is for the future of our Jiao family, how can your eldest brother and sister-in-law be so ignorant?" Besides, even if they are not sensible, isn't it you and my mother?
However, since Laneige is going to the government to take care of you, your sister-in-law does have to take care of the work at home, so you should also show something. ”
