The young couple finally sat down together to enjoy a warm dinner.

During the banquet, Xue Shao asked casually: "An Ran, did Chen Xian'er say that what did her uncle Liu Sheng do when he came to Chang'an?" ”

"She hasn't seen her uncle yet, how would she know?" Princess Taiping blinked her eyes and said, "I remember this Liu Sheng." When I sent Yang Siqiao to Bingzhou to take Chen Xian'er to Chang'an, he was so frightened that he resigned from the official position of Sima in Bingzhou and returned to his hometown. Now that Chen Xian'er is already your wife, I guess, does he want to take your way and seek a half-official position? ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "This is very likely." ”

"How is Liu Sheng's character and article talent?" Princess Taiping asked.

"Okay." Xue Shao blinked, "What, do you want to fulfill him?" ”

"Although Liu Sheng's resignation was not directly forced by me, it has more or less something to do with me. I'd like to give him a little compensation. Princess Taiping said, "Besides, Chen Xian'er is your wife, if her uncle really came from thousands of miles to seek an official, what does it matter if she completes Liu Sheng in front of Xian'er?" Otherwise, wouldn't people give you a niece for nothing? ”

Xue Shao pursed his lips in embarrassment, "Are you still worried about this matter?" …… If you really don't like Chen Xian'er, why did you choose her to be the concubine? ”

Princess Taiping was slightly stunned, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, "Xue Lang, you have been snubbing Chen Xian'er because you are afraid that I will be jealous, right?" You're snubbing her to protect her, right? ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Princess Taiping's intuition to be so sensitive...... That's right, her guess is basically relatively accurate. But not quite!

"Looks like I guessed right." Princess Taiping put the chopsticks down and was about to leave, "Don't eat it!" ”

"Enron, why bother?" Xue Shao hurriedly grabbed her, "It's rare for me to go home, so why don't I have to quarrel?" ”

"You forced me!" Princess Taiping's expression looked fierce, but her expression like this often meant that she wasn't really angry, and Xue Shao had long been familiar with it.

So Xue Shao coaxed her with a smile, took her into his arms, and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess who is smart about Bingxue, I really can't hide anything from you." I admit that I deliberately snubbed Chen Xian'er, and I haven't touched her for so long since I got married. I'll admit it, I'm a little worried about her being jealous of you, didn't you say you wanted to kill her all along? ”

"Nonsense!" Princess Taiping was a little angry, "I have magnanimously helped you marry her back home, but you are so careful to protect her at home, doesn't it seem that I am particularly hypocritical, special domineering, and special ignorance?" ”

Xue Shao was stunned and blinked again and again, and said in his heart, how can you be so fierce and take all the truth?

"Don't have anything to say?" Princess Taiping struggled, "I'm angry, I ignore you!" ”

"Okay, I was wrong, I apologize to you." Xue Shao smirked and said, "Then I'll sleep with her tonight, okay?" ”

"How dare you !!" Princess Taiping gritted her teeth and was furious, and grabbed Xue Shao's ears left and right, but she was not willing to use force.

Xue Shao really couldn't cry or laugh, "It's a mistake left and right, so what else can I do?" ”

"I'll talk about this later, you're alone with me tonight!" Princess Taiping let go of Xue Shao's ears, but hugged his neck very domineeringly, gritted her teeth and glared at him with a very vicious expression, and said in his ear, "Don't let you go home for three days!" If I hadn't treated you until your legs were soft and your eyes were full of stars, I wouldn't be Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping of the Tang Empire! ”

The corners of Xue Shao's mouth grinned, "Her Royal Highness the princess, the minister is seriously ill, and the minister seeks treatment!" ”

So there was a night of fierce fighting, and the dawn was closed.

The officials of Datang all have "ten-month holidays", and there are other holidays during the New Year's holidays or family affairs, and the treatment is very humane like that of modern civil servants. But Xue Shaozhi has been very busy since he got married, and he has hardly taken any vacation in the past two or three months. Today, she was entangled by Princess Taiping's beautiful legs and couldn't get out of bed, so she was forced to take a day off.

By noon, Princess Taiping had slept enough, and Xue Shao had to get up. Subsequently, the young couple staged another "vice" and had lunch together in bed in unclothed clothes. At this time, Xue Shaofang knew from Linlang's mouth that Chen Xian'er's uncle Liu Sheng had been waiting in the mansion for two hours.

Princess Taiping stuck out her tongue and grimaced, "Xue Lang, you are so rude!" ”

"Dare to say me? It's all your fault! ”

"Hehe, you'd better hurry up and deal with the guests!" Princess Taiping lazily turned over and fell asleep again, and her sleeping position was extremely unladylike, "I'll have to sleep for a while when I'm full!" ”

"Lazy cat!"

Xue Shao changed his clothes and went to the living room.

Liu Sheng sat upright in the living room, his eyes didn't look around, and he looked quite restrained. Chen Xian'er stood on one side to accompany her, and she was also decent and did not squint. The uncle and nephew barely had a word of conversation, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

When Xue Shao walked into the living room, Liu Sheng hurriedly got up to greet him, and Chen Xian'er also bowed up.

"It's all a family, why be so polite?" Xue Shao smiled very kindly, and his tone was relatively gentle, "Xian'er, how can you let your uncle wait so long?" Why don't you wake me up sooner? ”

"Cheap concubines don't dare to ......" Chen Xian'er's voice was very small and thin.

"How dare you disturb Gongzi's dreams when you come here in the next place?" Liu Sheng hurriedly said, "Even if she wants to go, she will definitely stop her!" ”

"You two are treating yourself as outsiders." Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, "Sit down, sit down!" ”

"The husband and his uncle have a conversation, and the concubine doesn't dare to sit down." Chen Xian'er said softly, "Please forgive your husband's sins, and please allow your concubine to retreat!" ”

"Let you sit, and you will sit." Xue Shao raised his voice slightly.

Chen Xian'er was so frightened that she was trembling all over, "Cheap concubine...... Yes, sir! ”

Liu Sheng was a little frightened, but he was a little frightened when he saw Xue Shao raise his voice, and said without hesitation: "Xian'er, you, you should listen to Gongzi's words, don't make him angry!" ”

"Xian'er doesn't dare to ......" Chen Xian'er's voice became smaller and smaller, and she was about to cry when she saw the situation.

Xue Shao was really speechless, and shook his head with a wry smile, "That's it, you better go down and rest!" Originally, I wanted my family to talk about family affection, but I was going to cry when I saw you. ”

"The husband is angry, and the concubine has retired...... "Chen Xian'er fled as if she had been pardoned.

Xue Shao couldn't help but breathe a sigh, Xian'er was actually more afraid of me than the maids in the house. Am I so disgusting? Or, is there really too much grievance backlog in her heart? …… It's really hard for a clean official to cut off family affairs!

Liu Sheng saw that Xue Shao was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to speak.

Xue Shao hurriedly invited him to sit down and said, "Liu Sima hasn't seen him for a long time, has he always been good?" ”

Liu Sheng smiled bitterly, "In the next, it is no longer Sima of Bingzhou." ”

"I know." Xue Shao nodded and said with a smile, "I was frightened by Princess Taiping and resigned from the official." ”

"I'm ashamed! I'm so ashamed! Liu Sheng's face turned red and said, "The scene at that time ......"

Xue Shao interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand, and said, "Now that I have become a relative to Princess Taiping, Xian'er is also my wife, and we are already a family." There is no need to mention the unpleasant things of the past. ”

"Yes, what Childe said is very true!"

Xue Shao asked: "You have come thousands of miles to Chang'an, what are you doing?" ”

Liu Sheng replied with a straight look: "Because it was the little son-in-law's family who asked for a letter, saying that the little girl misses her parents day and night, I came to Chang'an Province with Jing Cai." ”

Xue Shao knew that Liu Sheng was a kind person who had ideas in his heart but was relatively stupid and couldn't put it down, so he took the initiative to ask: "You are in the prime of life, have you ever thought about becoming an official and a half-official again?" ”

"Uh......" Liu Sheng's face turned red again, it seemed that Xue Shao had said something in his heart, and said hesitantly: "Don't dare to deceive the son, I do have this thought!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "In that case, why don't you say it bluntly?" Family, why bother to see outside. ”

"Under ...... But I'm a little ashamed to say it! Liu Sheng's expression was quite embarrassed, and his hands were slightly rubbing back and forth on his thighs.

"In this way, you stay in Chang'an for a while longer, and I'll inquire and inquire." Xue Shao said, "Let's see if I can get you an official position and let you be out again." ”

Liu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed to Xue Shao on the spot.

"Hurry up, please!" Xue Shao helped him up with a smile, "How can you say that you are also my father-in-law, how can you always worship me?" ”

Liu Sheng stood up embarrassed and grateful, and said cautiously: "Childe, Xian'er has lost her parents since she was a child, and I often work as an official outside, so she is not very sensible because of her lack of discipline." If she does something wrong, please bear with me! ”

Xue Shao agreed on the surface, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, it was I who snubbed her, and I should ask her to bear with her!

After some greetings, Liu Sheng ignored Xue Shao's retention, did not dare to bother and hurriedly left.

Xue Shao actually knew in his heart that he was now a "royal celebrity", and his reputation had spread far away. Liu Sheng came to Chang'an, in fact, to seek an official position for himself. Otherwise, why didn't he come to Chang'an when his daughter married Chen Xian'er, but he came at this time?

Just pondering, Chen Xian'er walked in front of Xue Shao, bowed her head and said, "Husband, the concubine wants to ask you for something." ”

Xue Shao was a little surprised, if I remember correctly, this was the first time Chen Xian'er took the initiative to approach her after getting married, and it was also the first time she saw her begging for help.

"What's the matter, you say." Xue Shao said.

"The concubine wants to be willing to ask for a husband, don't help my uncle find an official." Chen Xian'er whispered.

Xue Shao was even more surprised, "Why?" ”

"If my uncle is of correct character and talented, he can be re-activated by the imperial court without the help of his husband." Chen Xian'er didn't dare to look directly at Xue Shao, and said cautiously, "If my uncle has no talent and no virtue but helps him, I'm afraid that outsiders will say that the husband is nepotistic, abolishes the public with his own interests, and uses his power for personal gain." If this is the case, the fairy will die and will not be redeemed! ”

A hundred deaths are not redeemable?

Hearing this word, Xue Shao's heart was not too comfortable, so he said: "Xian'er, whether I can help Liu Sheng seek an official position or not, in fact, it doesn't have much to do with whether he is your uncle or not." Leave this aside, let me ask you, why are you so frightened in front of me, am I so terrible? ”

"Husband is not terrible. But I am very in awe of my husband! This time, Chen Xian'er answered with a blank look.

"Awe?" Xue Shao frowned, feeling surprised.

"Yes!" Chen Xian'er nodded very seriously very certainly, "The concubine is like fearing the gods, fearing the husband!" ”
