Chapter 116: Xu Yuexiang is provincial

"Hooligans!" Before Li Yunzhong finished speaking, Hong Xuanjiao and Xu Yuexiang left left and right, cleaning up the sweat and dirt on their bodies.

Xu Yuexiang, who had just been freshened, ran over and pulled Li Yunzhong's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Husband, my sister of the concubine invited me to go home to visit relatives today, do you want to go with me?" ”

Li Yunzhong pinched her rosy smile and shook his head: "Go back by yourself, if I follow, Jiao Liang will be cranky again, remember to come back for dinner tonight." ”

Xu Yuexiang was not reluctant, and after breakfast, she took a sedan chair to Jiaofu.

"Xu Niangniang has arrived!" The housekeeper of Jiao Mansion saw a gorgeous sedan chair from a distance and shouted loudly.

Jiao Liang and his wife bowed to Xu Yuexiang, who had just come out of the sedan chair, and said, "See the concubine!" ”

"No courtesy, sister, brother-in-law, Yuexiang misses you so much!" Xu Yuexiang jumped up and hugged her sister.

Jiao Liang looked around, asked the housekeeper to receive the palace guards and sedan chair man, and said to Xu Yuexiang: "Niangniang, please, Weichen has prepared a banquet and a drama troupe." ”

Xu Yuexiang looked at the brand-new Jiao Mansion, precious materials, and rare stones can be seen everywhere, her smile gradually faded, and she persuaded Jiao Liang after arriving at the lobby: "The emperor has always pursued frugality, and my brother-in-law should also pay attention to it, Jiao Mansion was built a little extravagantly, I heard that Li Xiucheng was reprimanded by the emperor because of the luxury of building the mansion." ”

Xu Yuegui saw that her husband was embarrassed, and explained: "Sister, my husband's clan has made a fortune by opening a factory in Nanjing, these are all filial piety to my husband, and my husband can't help himself, he is not an ordinary person now, but the emperor's in-laws, and he has to maintain the face of the royal family everywhere." In front of the emperor, you must distinguish one from the other for your husband. ”

Xu Yuexiang frowned beautifully, and was a little unhappy with her sister's excuse. Their husbands have worn a single dress for a long time, but they live a luxurious life.

"Brother-in-law, don't overdo it. The day before yesterday, the emperor also said that he would rectify the commercial order, prohibit collusion between officials and businessmen, and the Jiao family should not be involved, but the emperor was serious this time. ”

Jiao Liang didn't care about this, and asked Xu Yuexiang: "Your Majesty, does he often do this in front of you?" ”

Xu Yuexiang held her cheeks with her hand and thought for a while, before replying: "I don't often mention it, I'm not interested in these things, only Sister Fu has talked to the emperor, and my two sisters and I are more interested in the war in the army." ”

Listen to my sister so immature and naΓ―ve. Jiao Liang hated the feeling that iron could not become steel, and complained: "Sister, you are so confused, the emperor is now the king of a country, managing hundreds of millions of people, how can I usually have time to accompany you, and when the emperor calms down the world in the future, it is difficult for the harem concubines to see the emperor, you don't take advantage of the current time to please the emperor and give birth to a boy and a girl." Left out in the future. You can't regret it! ”

Xu Yuexiang replied with a red face: "The emperor compensates us for eating together every day, why can't we meet, God decided when I gave birth to a child, how can I fight for ......" The voice behind him became lower and lower. Even Xu Yuexiang's own is gone.

The housekeeper of Jiao Mansion came in and reported: "Qi Yu Niangniang, master, a few cousins. When my aunt heard that the mother was back, she specially prepared a generous gift. Come and say hello. ”

Jiao Liang was distraught and said to the housekeeper, "Let them go back." Niang Niang is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can they see it if they want to see it? ”

Seeing that her husband didn't even want the gifts that came to the door, Xu Yuegui complained: "It's all my own family, what can't I see, besides, they have already come to the door, you can drive them out of the door again, so that outsiders can look at my sister." ”

"Let them in!" Jiao Liang felt that what his wife said made sense, his sister was a concubine, and her reputation couldn't be bad in his hands.

After a while, more than 20 men, women and children came into the living room, kowtowing to Xu Yuexiang and saying, "Say hello to the concubine." ”

Xu Yuexiang didn't expect them to make such a big salute, so she hurriedly got up and said: "You guys get up quickly, the emperor has long not allowed the officialdom to kneel, and you can see anyone in the future without kneeling." ”

"It's rare for the mother to come back once, and the little ones should also salute."

"Thank you for your teaching."

"Niangniang, these are all our hearts, please smile."

Jiao Liang saw that they were in a mess, and he didn't even take the lead in speaking, so he waved his hand to them and said, "Okay, you guys go down first, Niangniang is tired all the way back." ”

Xu Yuexiang saw that they were wearing gold and silver, just like the landlord, and asked Jiao Liang: "What are these people doing, like nouveau riche, they are either gold rings or Lantian jade pendants, and their clothes cost thousands of taels!" ”

Xu Yuegui became proud, and said to Xu Yuexiang: "Sister, do you remember the eldest brother of your uncle's family, he is now running a flour mill, and the whole Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are eating his flour, and he can earn thousands of taels a day, your brother-in-law's nephew Jiao Hai has two gold mines, and the washbasins at home are all made of gold, what is the little gold he wears......

Jiao Liang looked down on the relatives of these nouveau riche in his heart, and interrupted his wife's tirade: "Okay, now there are more people doing business, and it is not unusual to earn tens of thousands of taels a month, the emperor treats these businessmen too leniently, and he doesn't think about serving the country every day and causes trouble everywhere, making the huge China a miasma." ”

Xu Yuegui retorted: "They didn't rely on your Lord Jiao's power, why didn't they let the family make money, and besides, the emperor encouraged businessmen to set up factories, but you are complaining here, be careful that the concubine goes back to sue you!" ”

Jiao Liang looked at Xu Yuexiang embarrassedly and explained: "The emperor is wise, it's not for us ordinary people to speculate, Yuexiang, you must say a few kind words for me in front of the emperor, Jiao Jing, that brute made such a big mistake, I'm really ashamed to be an elder brother, has the emperor alienated you because of this?" ”

What the husband said was right, my brother-in-law loved to think crankily, Xu Yuexiang persuaded: "Brother-in-law, you are too worried, the emperor did not blame you for this, when I came back, I told me to let you work hard, and when you capture Hunan, let you return to your hometown and be the governor of Hunan!" ”

Jiao Liang was surprised and delighted, got up and asked, "The emperor really said so!" Ha Lu Ha ...... I didn't expect that my Jiao Liang would have such a day, when those people were blind, they actually gave me the title of 'madman', thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and so on the day I go back to Hunan, let them take a good look at me, Jiao Liang is not worse than them......"

Xu Yuegui looked at her husband who seemed to have hysteria, shook her head secretly, took Xu Yuexiang's hand and said: "Sister, let's go, let's go to my sister's boudoir and whisper something, your brother-in-law is this temperament, and he regards his official position as the root of his life, don't care."
