After Fu Jingene arrived in Pingzhou, he was not idle, and he had to follow An Shilang to inspect the embankment early in the morning and come back very late. On the afternoon of the fourth day, An Shilang asked everyone to rest before he went to ask for leave.

"Lord An, my grandmother and mother-in-law are in Pingzhou, and I want to visit them in the afternoon."

An Shilang asked with some surprise, "Isn't Old Madam Gu in the capital?" ”

The elders of the Fu family are all dead, and even Fu Jingene's generation is the only three brothers left. But his two brothers-in-law are still in exile! On the contrary, because Mrs. Gu donated more than 100,000 stone of grain that year, there was nothing that the officials in the capital did not know.

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "A few months ago, I went back to Pingzhou to sweep my grandfather's grave. ”

An Shilang said with a smile: "Then give you an afternoon off, and tomorrow we will leave for Qiancheng." ”

Half a month in a row has made their pressure drop sharply, so the next inspection is not as serious and careful as before.

As soon as he walked out of the post station, Fu Jingene sneezed loudly: "Who is talking about me?" ”

Shuangrui smiled when he heard this: "Master, it must be that Mrs. is talking about you." “

Fu Jingene loves to listen to this.

In fact, it was not Qingshu who was talking about Fu Jingene, but Gu Xian. She was muttering to Old Madam Gu at this time: "Mother, Jing Ene has been in Pingzhou for two days and has not come to the door, even if she is busy, she will not be busy like this?" ”

Old Madam Gu listened to the displeasure in her heart, glanced at her and said, "You are not the wife of the Lin family now, and you are also a stranger to Qingshu, what if he doesn't come to the door?" ”

Jing Ene's child is very filial, if he wasn't too busy to leave, he would have come to visit her early.

Gu Xian choked. Since her mother knew that Qingshu was pregnant, she had become more and more impatient with her, and she often choked so much that she couldn't speak.

Thinking of this, Gu Xian said with a sad face: "Mother, do you have a great-grandson who dislikes me?" ”

Old Madam Gu held the hand of the Buddha beads for a moment, and said: "Take care of this family, take care of Shaozhou and Brother Guan'er, and don't think about these things." ”

She was now reluctant to persuade Gu Xian anymore. I haven't listened to persuasion for more than 20 years, and it would be a waste of words and tongues to persuade again.

Speaking of Brother Guan'er, Gu Xian couldn't help complaining: "Mother, don't you know that the Huo family has pinched the time to wait for Brother Guan at the door in the past few days, and then brought Brother Guan back to her yard." ”

She felt that Huo Pearl deliberately didn't let her get close to Brother Guan'er, so she was very angry.

Hearing this, Old Madam Gu couldn't help asking, "Does Shaozhou know about this?" ”

"I told him, and he said it would be resolved, but it hasn't been a bit of a move for four days." Gu Xian said with a bitter face: "This matter is really embarrassing, she is the mother of the official brother, can she still stop their mother and son from seeing each other?" ”

Old Madam Gu looked at her and didn't speak.

Gu Xian touched her face and asked, "Mother, why do you think of me like this?" Is my makeup spent? Tan Xing, hurry up and show me the mirror. ”

After confirming that the makeup was not spent, Gu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. As she grows older, Gu Xian pays more and more attention to maintenance, even if Shen Jiaming is defeated now, she has to make a pearl mask every few days.

Old Madam Gu didn't know what the expression on her face was. Now she is really glad that Gu Xian is married to Shen Shaozhou, otherwise ordinary men really can't stand her temperament.

As he was talking, the mother-in-law outside said, "Old lady, wife, the master is back." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Shaozhou opened the curtain and entered the house, while Shen Tao and Shen Zhan both followed him. This posture, at a glance, you know that something is wrong.

Gu Xian asked, "Why are they all back?" ”

Shen Shaozhou set up three shops in Pingzhou City, one of which sold ordinary porcelain. After this porcelain opened, Shen Shaozhou handed it over to Shen Zhan to take care of.

He told Shen Zhan that the shop made a profit and made half of the money. And as long as he does a good job, he will transfer this shop to him after he gets married. Not to mention that this incentive is quite useful, since taking over this shop, Shen Zhan has spent all his thoughts on it. It's a pity that he has no talent for business, so the profit of this shop is very low, only one or twenty taels of silver per month. This is still because the shop is its own and does not need rent, otherwise it will lose money.

Shen Shaozhou is also quite satisfied with this. With the precedent of the Huo family brothers in front of him, he doesn't have high requirements for Shen Zhan, as long as he doesn't spend all his time gambling and prostitution.

The only thing that gave him a headache was that Shen Zhan hadn't married a wife yet. He didn't take a fancy to any of the girls he looked at. But this matter can't be forced, otherwise marrying him will also harm other girls.

Shen Shaozhou said with a smile: "I just got the news, Jing Ene and the others will come over." So, I asked Ah Tao and Ah Zhan to come back. ”

Gu Xian wondered, "How did you know that Jing Ene was coming?" He didn't let us know in advance. ”

Shen Shaozhou said with a smile: "Jing Ene was shopping on the street, and he happened to be bumped into by Ah Tao. Jing Ene said that he would come over when he bought something. Grandma, what kind of tea does Jing Ene like to drink, I will ask people to prepare. ”

Gu Xian frowned and said, "Why didn't you send someone to tell me when you came over?" ”

If you don't like a person, you can always find fault with it.

Shen Shaozhou frowned and said, "Ah Xian, Jing Ene has been running around with Qin Cha since he arrived in Pingzhou, and he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. It's good that he's so busy and has time to come over. ”

Old Madam Gu was also angry and said, "If you don't want Jing Ene to come, I'll let Ah Zhong tell him now." ”

Seeing this, Shen Shaozhou hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, Ah Xian is also unintentional, don't worry about her." Mother-in-law, what tea does Jing Ene like. If I don't have it at home, I'll ask someone to buy it at a tea shop. ”

Old Madam Gu thought for a moment and shook her head and said, "Jing Ene doesn't seem to particularly like what kind of tea to drink, Ah Zhi, do you know?" ”

Mother Hua shook her head and said, "I don't know what kind of tea I like to drink, but I know that my uncle doesn't like to drink flower tea." ”

Gu Xian asked, "Mother, didn't Qingshu tell you?" ”

Old Madam Gu choked back directly: "What kind of tea does Jing Ene like to drink, tell me what this old woman does?" ”

Gu Xian was choked again.

Shen Shaozhou said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, Jing Ene will definitely stay at home for dinner at night, I will arrange it with Gu Xian." ”

"Go ahead!"

After everyone went out, Old Madam Gu said, "Look at what she said?" A handful of years have lived to the belly of a dog. ”

It's really not Gu Xian's illusion. Since she knew that Qingshu was pregnant, Old Madam Gu was now more and more disgusted with her. is about to be a grandmother, or this virtue, how will the child look at her in the future.

At the same time, Shen Shaozhou also said to Gu Xian: "If you don't want to see Jing Ene, go back to the house now and don't come out." If you want to see him, don't talk later. ”

Gu Xian was silent.

Shen Shaozhou didn't get used to her this time, and said with a cold face: "Did you hear my words?" ”

Gu Xian said with an aggrieved face: "I heard it, I listened to you." ”
