Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: The First Dispute
There is still a month and a half left for the poetry meeting, and after reaching a cooperative relationship, it is the preparation work before the poetry meeting. Now that there is plenty of time, Xia Shang is not willing to invest in the economy quickly, and the matter of money must not be rushed, and the money can be grasped with the initiative in his hands.
said goodbye to Nangong Hanjiang, put aside the matter of the poetry meeting first, and returned home after separating from Xu Yuan.
When he entered the door, he saw Fang Xiang saying that he was directing others to wash vegetables, and by the way, he asked if the supplements he bought for Qin Lan had been bought.
After asking, he found that Fang wanted to say that he was a little hesitant, as if he was avoiding the topic. After some questioning, Fang wanted to say that he finally made it clear that Qin Lan did not accept the supplement.
After hearing this, Xia Shang's expression became solemn, and he pulled Fang Xiangshuo down in the corner and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you tell me about this?" ”
"Shopkeeper, it's not that I don't tell you. It was Madame, who heard the news out of nowhere, and came to me and said that she would not let me tell you this. ”
Xia Shang was puzzled: "Luoluo? ”
"Yes." Fang Xiangshu nodded, "Shopkeeper, say something that shouldn't be said, I also think that Madame is right to do this, now they are all in their own way, and the shopkeeper should not have anything to do with that woman." ”
"There you go." Xia Shang calmly patted Fang Xiang's shoulder to speak, and he didn't know if he had listened to what he had just said.
Li Luo was concentrating on fiddling with the abacus in the room, and before he knew it, a thick stack of delicious and well-thought-out ledgers had been written. Recently, it is very strange that Li Luo no longer uses the Arabic numerals and those practical calculation rules that Xia Shang called her, but returns to the abacus.
A few days ago, Xia Shang didn't understand very well, but today he guessed some.
People can't always be dual-minded, and this kind of thing can't do arithmetic, without looking, Xia Shang can guess that there is a deviation in the accounts recently, because the thing that this Nizi cares about is no longer how much she earns every day. Maybe it's really that every woman can't avoid vulgarity, even ancient women can't avoid jealousy, and Qin Lan's incident is the best proof of this.
"Luoluo, come here."
Li Luo, who was immersed in work, turned his head, didn't realize anything, and said with a light smile: "Xianggong, wait until I finish counting this point." ”
"Luoluo, come here!"
Xia Shang repeated it again, and Li Luo realized that Xia Shang's expression was different from before.
"Xianggong?"
"Qin Lan confiscated the supplements, why didn't you let Fang Xiang tell me?"
"......" Li Luo's eyes dodged, "That...... The concubine just doesn't want to be distracted. ”
Feeling the faint fear in Li Luo's voice, Xia Shang quickly changed his posture and gently grabbed Li Luo's little hand: "Okay, the matter has happened, Xianggong doesn't mean to blame you." I just don't want to do it in the future. ”
"Not anymore."
Xia Shang nodded, feeling that there was no need to affect the relationship between the two because of such a topic, and motioned for Li Luo to continue settling accounts.
At this time, Li Luo raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Xianggong really likes the young lady of the Sai family?" ”
"This ...... Not...... Nothing. "This time, Xia Shang panicked.
"Xianggong, the concubine has heard a lot of rumors about the young lady of the Sai family."
"What did you hear? Don't listen to outsiders. ”
"The concubine knows, but there are always those words that circulate, and it is uncomfortable to listen to them. Xianggong can like any woman, why should he be a widow? The concubine is a wife, so she has to take into account the family style, reputation, etc. in the future, and she has not seen any dealings between Xianggong and the young lady of the Sai family before, thinking that the dazzling will disperse, who has sent some inexplicable things to Xianggong at this time. If it is known to outsiders, it will rise again and again, and I don't know ......"
"Hey!" Xia Shang interrupted Li Luo with a sigh, "Don't say it." ”
"......" Li Luo closed his mouth, his eyes red.
This is the first time the two have had an argument, and neither of them is uncomfortable.
Li Luo returned to her position, listening to the sound of the abacus is that she was upset and didn't know what to count.
Xia Shang was also very annoyed, because he had made up his mind since the night he was on the mountain, and in the future, he would be wholeheartedly good to Luoluo, and no longer frown at other women, and he had restrained a lot recently. But who would have thought that Qin Lan would suddenly become pregnant? What's even worse is that the other party is still the daughter-in-law of another family, although it is only in name, but it is not a casual marriage. How should this relationship be handled? Xia Shang is now in a dilemma.
Besides, the cause of today's dispute is gift-giving, but the gift is not because of Qin Lan, but because of the child in Qin Lan's womb.
Can this be said to Luoluo?
It's dusk in the muddy, and dinner is a tomato and egg soup made by Luoluo, just one dish. It seemed that he was deliberately angry with Xia Shang, and said straight before eating: "Eat more." ”
Tomato and egg soup doesn't eat at all, and it's not very good, how can I eat more?
Today, I saw Li Luo's princess temper, and Xia Shang didn't dare to say much about it, it would be best to wipe this matter away. Therefore, Xia Shang gave his wife enough face, not only finished eating the dishes, but also ate three bowls of rice, although they were all held back.
After eating, although Xia Shang still showed a smiling face, his face was already blue.
Perhaps Li Luo couldn't bear it, and told Xia Shang without warning: "Today, the concubine saw the young lady of the Sai family getting into the carriage out of the city, which seems to be a delivery convoy returning to Jiangnan. ”
"Huh?!" Xia Shang was shocked.
Seeing Xia Shang's expression, Li Luo was a little displeased again, and muttered in a low voice: "Now that I have already gone away, I can't find her when I go to Saijia." ”
"This ......" Xia Shang was confused, and he hesitated in the room, wanting to open the door and go out several times.
Li Luo silently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and peeked at them from time to time: "Xianggong has the talent of the concubine in the body and mind, but in the eyes of that woman, he is nothing." Concubines don't like people who are short-sighted, especially don't like women like that. Just go, why worry? ”
"Luoluo, you say I have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth?"
"That's right."
"I'm just a cook."
"It may be in the eyes of others, but it is more than in the eyes of Luoluo. Xianggong can have more women, but women who can't see what is special about Xianggong cannot. ”
Li Luo's heartfelt affirmation and praise made Xia Shang's heart warm, as a man, even if there are many failures, there is a woman who is unswerving, even if he succeeds.
"Luoluo, you know? The child in Qin Lan's womb is probably ...... I'm afraid it's Xianggong, that's why Xianggong will ......"
Excited for a moment, Xia Shang couldn't help but say it, but Li Luo's expression was very calm, still tidying up and playing with chopsticks.
"You already knew?"
"On the night of the wedding, didn't Miss Saijia come to accompany me? That's what she said then. ”
“……”
"That woman didn't have a good heart, at first I thought it was leading me to disagree with my husband, but then I gradually found out that I am afraid it is true."
Xia Shang's face showed hatred: "Saijiangnan!" That woman! ”
