Jin Niang quickly knew what Xu Erlang's attitude was towards the people who asked him for his protection - he refused them all, and he didn't give anyone face.

But now Xu Erlang is not ignorant of the world, and he will only blindly pull the stunned blue of hatred. After experiencing an autumn season, he is also much more transparent in the world, even if he says something he refuses, he is still reasoning with facts and sending people away politely.

And the rhetoric he got on the face was, without exception, "the amount of his own acres of land is huge, and he is only in the middle of the move, and it is not good to act arrogantly." This is reasonable, after all, the Xu family is indeed a big family, and the amount of Tianmu is quite large. Not only in Binh Duong Town, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, but also in other towns and prefectures, a little land has been purchased.

Taken together, the total number of these fields is enormous. Therefore, Xu Erlang's protection of these is already a bit out of line, and it is not good to support others.

And his outrage is relative to the magistrate.

According to the grapevine, when the magistrate was in the middle of the promotion, the number of tax-exempt acres under his name was only about 500 mu. The magistrate is from a family, and the money on his body is not even, so it can be said that because he is a concubine, the silver available in his hand is not wide. But the family pays attention to decency, and he can collect "filial piety" to make his life better, but there are too many filial piety that can be collected, and it will be ugly to eat fragrant. Whether it's for outsiders or your own family members, it's not good to look good on your face.

The people in Pingyang Town didn't know the news, and Xu Erlang of Harbin City sent someone to inquire about the person of the county order and the news he heard in the past. At the time, I thought it was useless, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at the critical moment.

And those relatives and friends who were vaguely hinted at by Xu Erlang, when they heard his excuse, they were speechless and could only secretly say that it was a pity, canceling the wishful thinking they had made earlier.

Regardless of whether he got other people's hatred and resentment because of this, Xu Erlang was annoyed enough at this time anyway. In order to hide from people, he even remembered the old trick of pretending to be sick.

Jin Niang: "I was stoned and hit in my own foot." You forgot, before you were a showman, you also pretended to be sick, and then you ......"

Xu Erlang: "I remembered what you said." ”

Jin Niang saw him pulling the quilt to cover his head, looking childish that he didn't want to come out, holding his chin and laughing.

The naïve Xu Erlang looks so cute, she wants to touch his head......

Thinking so, Jin Niang really stretched out her hand of sin.

Xu Erlang, who felt a soft touch on his head: ......

He pulled down the quilt and turned around and asked Jinniang, "What are you doing?" ”

Jin Niang's innocent face, "I didn't do anything, didn't I see that your hair was messy, I'll tidy it up for you." ”

Xu Erlang showed an expression of "I believe you have a ghost".

Jin Niang's heart was stunned, but her face was not obvious. She hurriedly found something to change the subject, "I want to go back to the Lin family tomorrow." ”

Xu Erlang sat up and showed a solemn expression, "It should be." When I am not at home, I would like to thank my aunt for being with you many times. It was also my negligence, I was busy socializing with relatives and friends these days, but I didn't have time to visit my father-in-law and aunt. Now that you've decided, we'll go over tomorrow. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Erlang continued, "It's just right, you can avoid guests by the way." ”

Jin Niang sneered when she heard this.

said that she was going to go back to her parents' house the next day, so Jinniang wrote a simple letter at this time, asked the maid to send it over, and told Father Lin and others in advance.

Later, the maid came back and brought back a few words from Xu's father.

Xu's father was worried that his daughter was now a month old and too tired from running back and forth, so he said that if he really missed his family, it would be good for them to come over.

After Jin Niang read the letter, she said to Xu Erlang, "This is not good, I am not good as a daughter, but I have to drive my father to visit, which is a little unusual." Besides, the weather has been good for the past two days, and I feel comfortable, so I thought, let's go over. What do you think? ”

"Listen to you."

The next morning, there was a heavy fog, and when the fog cleared, the sun rose out from behind the clouds, casting colorful rays in the air.

The weather is instantly better, the sun is pleasant, and the temperature is also suitable, which is suitable for traveling.

But Pingyang Town is now in winter, in order to prevent Jinniang from freezing, Xu Erlang also added a thick nursing cloak to her when she went out, and personally put on a deerskin student for her. That's not all, he also asked his subordinates to bring her a delicate hand stove, which was stuffed with charcoal fire, and her hands warmed up instantly.

The two of them walked out of the courtyard door gossiping, and they bumped into Pian Pian who came over.

Pian Pian couldn't wait to come when she heard the news that they were going to Lin's house, and she also changed into the clothes she wore when she went out, and she was holding a box in her hand. Seeing the two of them, Pian Pian said flatteringly, "Sister-in-law, I want to go to the Lin family with you." ”

Xu Erlang frowned, and before he could say anything, Pian Pian saw that his face was not good, so he came to Jinniang with a strong desire to survive, and gently shook her arm coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, let me go, let me go, okay?" I haven't seen Xuanxuan for a long time, Xuanxuan was sick half a month ago, and I didn't even go to see her. Now that she's well, I'm still a little worried about her body. Let me go with you, sister-in-law, I will be obedient and won't cause trouble, sister-in-law, you will promise me, sister-in-law? ”

Jin Niang: ......

She looked at Xu Erlang, who was strained on one side, shook his arm, and said softly, "Just let Pian Pian go with her, okay?" During the time when you were not at home, thanks to Pianpian for helping me, I saved a lot. After you were lifted, I asked Pian Pian to help go to the city gate to give porridge and medicine, and Pian Pian also did a good job. How about letting her go out with us as a reward for her? ”

"Yes."

"Oh, that's great, thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, second brother. Hey, hey, hey. ”

When the three of them arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion, Qing'er was already waiting outside. Father and Aunt Lin and Xuanxuan at home also came out of the house to inquire.

Everyone began to salute, and later Xuanxuan saw how surprised Pian Pian came over and didn't say anything, just said a simple greeting, Father Lin called Xu Erlang and Qing'er again, and went to the study to talk together.

Jin Niang wants to vomit about her cheap father's approach.

What's wrong? They can't discuss national affairs, why can't she and her aunt listen? Every time I talk to Xu Erlang and Qing'er, I go to the study, and I don't just avoid her and my aunt, but Father Lin's attitude, as if she and my aunt are illiterate and can't understand their lake, it also makes Jinniang angry when I think about it.

However, she was really not interested in their conversation, so she just shook her head and smiled bitterly, and did not think about it anymore, and turned her head to talk to her aunt.

Aunt Shen was worried about whether the baby in Jinniang's womb was male or female, but now Xu Erlang has become a representative of the "young and promising person" in the mouth of everyone.

She whispered to Jinniang, "Your baby is good if it's a son." ”

is a son Jinniang's position is stable, no matter what he does in the future, he will be more confident. But if it is a girl, Jin Niang is afraid that she will have to suffer in the future.

My aunt's mind is simple, all her thoughts and thoughts are on her face, although her unfinished words are not said directly, but Jinniang is obedient and listens, and already knows what her aunt is worried about.

She laughed, "But this one in my belly is a girl." ”

Aunt Shen's face turned white as soon as she saw it, and she hurriedly took Jinniang's hand and asked, "Are you sure?" Have you seen it to the doctor? How can it be a girl, this, this ......" Although Aunt Shen had given birth to Xuanxuan, she didn't know whether the round belly was male or the pointed belly was male, so she didn't dare to make a conclusion about the baby in Jinniang's belly.

She can't see it, but she has an old doctor, and Wen Po, who has been thinking about delivering babies for a long time, can see it. As soon as Jin Niang said this, her aunt thought that she had already been seen and diagnosed. For a while, she seemed to see Jinniang's sad future, and her eyes couldn't help but redden, and tears were about to fall out.

Jinniang originally wanted to joke with her aunt, but seeing her like this, she was also scared. He stood up and comforted his aunt to sit down.

Later, he said, "I know what my aunt is worried about." Erlang is now in the middle of the lift, and he has become a promising young man within a radius of 100 miles, and he is born with unparalleled British dramas, so naturally there are more people who beat his idea. ”

When Aunt Shen heard this, tears fell from her eyes. Seeing this, Jinniang took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"There's no way around it, other people have dirty thoughts, and we can't stop it. We are in a hurry and in a hurry about this matter, and the key depends on Erlang. And I, I believe him, he will not fail me, aunt, don't worry about me. ”

Aunt Shen opened her mouth and wanted to say, a man is unreliable at the time, maybe he is coaxing you, you have to be careful, don't be deceived by him.

But now that Jin Niang and Xu Erlang are in deep love, Jin Niang may not be able to hear her words. If her words don't work as well as they should, they won't say it, and it will make Jinniang dislike her. So, that can't be said.

Then she can only stare more, let Qing'er also stare more, if there are bad signs, just inform Jinniang in time......

At lunch, Xu Erlang and the others came out of Father Lin's study, and Qing'er now looked at Xu Erlang's eyes full of admiration.

He was so quietly in contact with a lifter, and his brother-in-law did very well in the exam, ranking thirty-fifth in the state capital, even his father once said that even if he was down, he would not be able to achieve such good results.

Everyone has a strong mentality, and Qing'er is like this now. He desperately wanted to absorb everything he needed from his brother-in-law, so he communicated with Xu Erlang more and more.

After lunch, Jin Niang and his wife were retained by Father Lin, so they obediently stayed.

As soon as Jin Niang was tired, she couldn't open her eyes, and she urgently needed to sleep to replenish her energy. Second, when Father Lin and Xu Erlang talked about the rise, there were still many things that had not been communicated, and after Jinniang fell asleep, they had to talk about it for a while.

Because of this, when Jinniang woke up, she didn't see Xu Erlang when she opened her eyes, but her aunt was guarding her.

When my aunt saw that Jinniang was awake, she handed her a cup of warm water, and Jinniang drank most of it before handing it back.

She asked, "Father and Erlang are still talking?" ”

"Not really. I just went over to deliver tea, and they were talking about Erlang's affairs in the Qiuqiu examination room, and your father listened carefully. ”

Jin Niang heard some information from her aunt's words, and asked uncertainly, "Father...... Do you have the intention of participating in the autumn festival? ”

Aunt: "...... Do you see this? ”

Jin Niang immediately sat up straight, "Auntie, you and I will talk about it in detail." ”

"Actually, there's nothing to say, that's it, that's it, alas, it's not because Erlang is in the middle of the lift? He was born well, his family is rich, and he has the ability, and many dirty businessmen on our street want to marry Erlang. Your father didn't know where he heard about it, and he was so angry that he didn't eat that day. He feels like he's dragging you down. If he continues to take the scientific examination and also makes a name for himself, Erlang will have an outside heart, and he will not dare to do anything behind his back, and your life in your mother-in-law's house will be better. ”

When Jin Niang heard this, her heart softened into water, and she was full of emotion in her heart, and she couldn't say anything for a while.

After a long time, she took her aunt's hand and said, "There is no need for this, aunt, you tell my father that I have grown up and am very capable, and I don't need my father to continue to work for me." And I am married to Erlang, Erlang cherishes me very much, and you and my father don't need to worry too much about my future days. Having said that, if my father wants to continue the scientific examination, this is a good thing, and I support it. However, this original intention must not be for me, nor for Qing'er, forcing my father to step into the examination room. In that way, my father felt heavy and depressed, not to mention whether he would get good grades in the exam, it was also a burden on his body. However, if the father sincerely wants to achieve a higher fame, this is desirable, after all, with motivation and goals, the father's spirit will be more sufficient, and the mental state will be better. My father is still very young, and it is necessary to fight for it, but all this must come from my father's sincere will. What do I mean, do you understand what my aunt meant? ”

Aunt Shen nodded, "I understand, I understand." ”

"Then let my aunt tell my father what I said. I also ask my aunt to pay more attention to my father's health and take care of my father on my behalf. No matter what happens to my father in the future, whether I decide to participate in the imperial examination in three years, when my father confirms, you can send me a letter, okay? ”

"Okay, okay."

"Please also ask my aunt to pay attention to your health, only when you are healthy and worry-free, we will be happy as children, and our lives will be good."

"Alas, alas."

When she left from the Lin Mansion, Pian Pian had an unfinished expression on her face, and she was reluctant to let go of Xuanxuan's hand.

She looked at Jinniang with a sad look in her eyes, and asked silently, "Can't I really stay?" Is it really not possible to stay? ”

Jin Niang: "......"

She had already gotten into the car, and Xu Erlang was still below, waiting to hug Pianpiao, but this girl seemed to be out of sight, just begging her.

Jin Niang had a headache, thought about it again and again, and said, "You be well-behaved and obedient, and in a few days, I will take Xuanxuan to the house to live with you for a while." ”

Both Pian Pian and Xuan Xuan cheered excitedly, and when Father Lin and Aunt Shen saw this, they both shook their heads impatiently, but they didn't refute Jing Niang's meaning.
