"Why don't you invite your mother in?"

The fourth lady smiled and sighed, and with a push of her hand, she pushed the other half of the door open.

Su Qinghe stepped aside awkwardly and let Meng Ying serve tea.

"Mother is not here to drink tea," the fourth wife pretended to look around casually, and she didn't see anything greasy before she put her eyes on Su Qinghe, "Listen to your father, you have been running a lot of places for the dragon vein recently, and you have lost weight." ”

"My son is fine," Su Qinghe helped his mother sit down and asked her why she had come.

Speaking of this, the fourth wife showed the meaning of blame and said: "You are very busy with things outside, my mother is not good at what to say, but how did I hear that you also brought a girl back?" ”

She was embarrassed to say anything about taking the girl back to the yard, for fear of hurting her son's face, so she knocked on the side.

Su Qinghe couldn't cry and laugh with a headache: "Who did my mother listen to?" ”

"It's spread in the family, can my mother still not know?"

The fourth wife sighed: "My mother has long said that she will arrange people in your yard, you like to be quiet, and if you are not happy, you will just do it." But why don't you tell your mother when you bring people back from outside? ”

"It's really fast," Su Qinghe rubbed his tight eyebrows, not hiding it, but he didn't know how to explain Zhao Xiaoman's matter to his mother.

To tell the truth, Zhao Xiaoman is a bandit?

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

He smiled bitterly: "Mother still doesn't believe in her son?" ”

The fourth lady smiled and patted him: "What does this have to do with believing it or not?" You're not a child, but you're old after all......"

It's not like to talk about it.

Su Qinghe hurriedly planned for her: "My son can't do many things, where do you think about this?" Mother, don't listen to other people's nonsense. In a few days, my son will explain to you, but now I can't explain it clearly for a while. ”

Su Qinghe didn't want to say it, but the fourth wife asked several times, but she really couldn't ask anything.

She glanced around the room again and was coaxed out by Su Qinghe.

"Madam, I saw with my own eyes that this fox girl entered the young master's room, she couldn't be there, she must have hidden," Meng Ying, who was invited by the fourth wife, was so anxious that her face was almost white.

"Mengying," the fourth lady looked at her with a slightly charitable smile, "You are a good one, when I see that girl and bring her over to show me in the future, Qinghe is not a person without proportion." ”

Meng Ying was impatient: "Mrs., you don't know, it's not a good thing, pestering the young master, it will definitely ruin the reputation of the young master." If you don't believe it, you ask for peace, and peace knows everything. ”

Are you entangled by bad women, and there are fewer people who ruin your name and family?

The fourth wife was not at ease, and when she heard Mengying's alarmist words, she called Ping'an to her courtyard to ask.

By the time Su Qinghe was called, it was dark, and when he saw Ping'an, he knew that this unreliable mouth was ready to explain.

It was the fourth wife who asked Zhao Xiaoman, but he didn't deny it.

"Was that girl in your room when I passed?"

Su Qinghe's ears burned red, and he didn't know how to explain it.

For the first time, the fourth wife showed a hatred for this son who didn't let herself worry about it, and said to him: "I also said that you are measured, if it weren't for the old lady of the Fan family, you should have prepared for family affairs at this time, how could you do such a criticizing thing?" ”

"Although we haven't gotten married yet, we are not small families, and it is not necessary to have a warm bed, why do we have to misunderstand? Bring people back brightly, and my mother is not allowed, you. ”

The fourth lady didn't know what to say about him.

"It's really not what my mother thinks."

Su Qinghe really didn't know how to explain it, and he had a lawsuit. But I also heard that peace had not yet arrived, and I didn't know how important Zhao Xiaoman's identity was also said.

The fourth lady didn't say much, and said directly: "Call that girl over, and my mother will take a look first." ”

Su Qinghe: "...... She's gone. ”

It's weird.

Su Qinghe lied, Zhao Xiaoman didn't leave at all, she was comfortably rolling on his bed to sleep at this moment, she opened her eyes when she heard the movement.

"Kid, you're back? I am hungry. ”

I also know that I am hungry!

How many times did she shout before, and she couldn't be thrown out like this.

The lawsuit on Su Qinghe's head became more serious, and he sighed: "Go back after eating, you really can't stay here." ”

"What did your mother say to you?"

Zhao Xiaoman is not stupid, and he can see that he is really tired.

Su Qinghe couldn't help but rub his forehead again: "You won't listen to me when you say it." ”

Zhao Xiaoman pursed his lips obediently and smiled: "You talk about it first." ”

It was already dark, and a lamp was lit in the room, and she just lay on the pillow, and she even talked to her for a long time!

Su Qinghe's ears burned again when he reacted, and his eyes looked away from her face: "I think you also know about the dragon vein, if you really want to help me, go find Mr. Yan." ”

Just looking for someone, and you still need her to go in person?

Zhao Xiaoman said "um", lay on the pillow and rubbed: "I waited for you in Hongcun for most of the day and you didn't come, I was already hungry and wanted to eat." ”

Hongcun has been burning ashes for a long time, and it is easy to seal the pond, so the eldest prince asked her to go to Hongcun and wait, just to send her.

Let her wait for half a day in vain...... I wasn't angry.

Su Qinghe didn't let himself think about it, and raised his voice to ask someone to prepare food.

*

The next day, the eldest prince who was running around for the dragon vein still asked Zhao Xiaoman to go first and wait for them in front.

"Can't bear it?"

Su Qinghe withdrew his gaze from her back: "No." ”

The eldest prince tugged at the folds on the silk shirt: "If you don't have it, it's good to plan to leave early." Lao Zhou, let's go, go to the tax department. ”

There are tax offices in various places, but not every tax department has a father-in-law from Beijing. They ran like this one after another because it didn't go well.

At this time, I was drinking tea at the Yamen of the Tax Department.

The eldest prince was a little exhausted and said: "I heard that the father-in-law surnamed Feng likes young girls, so let's just give him one, and save yourself from doing this." ”

Su Qinghe's eyes were filled with a terrifying composure: "The matter of gray tax is not so easy, big brother don't be impatient, Zhang Gong and they should also come." ”

The Zhang Gong and others he mentioned are the eunuchs who returned to their hometowns, and they are the places where literati come out in large numbers, and there are not a few eunuchs with official residences, and it is full of weight to move out of one, not to mention that there are three of them this time.

For the sake of the dragon vein, the literati in Suizhou have worked hard, but this does not mean that the gray households who stand on the opposite side of interests can be moved by this.

The gorge where Hu Xiaochai is located unexpectedly encountered opposition from the villagers. But this is different from Hongcun, the people here occupy the Gorge Stone Mountain, most of them are individuals or people who form teams to burn ashes and sell ashes, most of them do not have land deeds, and if one of them is broken, the others will be shaken.

came early to beat gongs and drums to publicize the catch fast, and this time successfully recovered a few mountains.

When the sun turned west, Su Qinghe and they still didn't come, Zhao Xiaoman touched the black horse that gnawed the bald skin of the nearby trees, slowly took it down the mountain, and fell behind a team of human-pulled flatbed trucks and left Xiashi Mountain.
