167 Husband and wife are enemies
Xu Erlang's emotions did not grasp much because of Jin Niang's explanation, in fact, giving up a great opportunity is not only regretful for His Majesty, but the regret in his heart is a hundred times more than His Majesty.
But than your success and fame, it is obvious that the safety of your wife and daughter and the safety of your family are more important now. So, he pushed away the good opportunities he had at his disposal.
Eradicating the family and even reducing their influence to the least is something that Xu Erlang has been thinking about secretly since he took the entrance examination and spied on the emperor's mind.
Originally, he also thought that he had come up with a way, and he had the ability to rely on his own ability, relying on the support of His Majesty, to have the strength to fight with them. And he is the most strategic, maybe in the repeated battles, he can think of a way to eradicate them.
It's a pity that it was still too naΓ―ve in the past.
I didn't enter the officialdom before, and my understanding of the family was only superficial. At that time, although he tried his best to maximize the influence of the family, it was only after becoming an official that he looked through the historical materials of the family that there was more than a room, and Xu Erlang knew how deep the roots of the family were and how great their hidden power was.
Even if he still had the energy to deal with them and bring the authority of the family to the emperor, it would take a lot more energy than his earlier budget. And more importantly, it takes much more time than the budget.
The most important thing is that the time is not ripe, and rash actions will only startle the family. So today, even if His Majesty had the heart to say something, in the end, he still suppressed the desire to rise in his heart and swallowed back the words that he had not spit out.
The time is not ripe......
Xu Erlang didn't want to bring it home to worry his family, so even if his mood was still heavy and depressed, he tried his best to show a good face.
It's a pity that it's okay to fool others with this expression, and it is really a fool's dream to fool his wife who has shared the bed with him for several years.
Jin Niang saw at a glance that Xu Erlang's mood had not improved, but she was also not good at making people happy. She told the jokes that should be told, and she also said the interesting stories about her children, but unfortunately it had little effect, Jinniang was depressed for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and decided to come up with her killer feature.
As for Jin Niang's killer feature...... Xu Erlang said that it was very useful.
This man is also a traitor. cheated, at a glance, it was seen that Jin Niang took the initiative to dedicate herself to please him. He had obviously swept away his depressed mood, and he just made a troubled appearance, which made Jinniang think that he didn't work hard enough, so he didn't see results, so he became more and more active.
One night of spring supper, Xu Erlang got up the next day in good spirits, and his eyes were full of smiles. When he went to the Yamen, his demeanor was calm, and he looked very comfortable.
The maids had no resistance to the male master's looks, so they couldn't help but do the wrong thing for a while, and they all lowered their heads to show respect.
It was a long time after Xu Erlang left, and Jin Niang got up from the bed slowly.
She yawned and thought she would be able to sleep until late in the evening. It's a pity that now is not my biggest time, and there are still in-laws in the house. She is too "lazy" and noisy, and her in-laws don't say anything on their faces, and she herself feels embarrassed.
After Jin Niang got up, she asked Xu Erlang, the maid next to her, how she was feeling today. Qingsui said, "The master is in a very good mood, and when he went to the yamen, his steps were a little brisker than usual. β
Jin Niang's first thought when she heard this was that her efforts last night were not in vain, and the results were quite good. The second thought was: why is she as uncomfortable as the tossed bones are falling apart, and when she moves, she can't help frowning until she inhales, but the person seems to be pumping. It's not fair to be in good spirits and full of energy.
It's a pity, no matter how unfair it is, she doesn't dare to complain to Xu Erlang, worried that this person will press herself to repeat yesterday's events.
Don't say how Xu Erlang is, and say that yesterday I asked Pian Pian and Changle to send it out and got a reply.
Chang'an and Changping's reply letter was sent first, and the two asked Xu's father and Xu's mother in the letter, and later explained that because the academy has a mid-term exam these days, so students can't ask for leave to go out, and they have the heart to come back to pay filial piety under the knees of their grandparents, but unfortunately the sky does not fulfill people's wishes. I hope that my grandparents will forgive them for their helplessness, and after returning home after the exam, I will go to my grandparents to ask for guilt.
Jin Niang has received many letters from the two boys in the past, but when did the two boys speak in this tone. This article is crepe, sour, and uncomfortable, whether you chew or listen to it, it makes people uncomfortable.
Jin Niang said to Pianpian, "I may really be a layman, you said how well the letter of Chang'an and Changping was written, quoting scriptures and classics, and respecting the rules, but I felt uncomfortable listening to it." β
"yes, I think so, too." Pian pouted and said, "Wen Cai is good for a fart, the key is that there is no emotional color, hey, if those two boys dare to write to me in this tone, I will definitely slap them and forget what the saints said." β
Jin Niang: It's too cruel! Remember that you are a boudoir daughter, not a gangster on the market, you have to pay attention to your image.
Pian Pian didn't feel that there was anything out of line with her words, and continued to say to Jin Niang, "But this letter should be to my father's and mother's appetite." You don't know that mother, I like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting the most, although my father disdained these in the past, but since the second brother became the champion official, he also thinks that this is a bit of a learned reader is different, and he always looks down on the students who are brilliant. Now Chang'an Changping is at this level, tsk, if my father and mother knew, I would definitely be happy to be a three-foot-tall book. β
Jin Niang: Don't talk big. If you really jump three feet, your father's and mother's legs will have to be broken.
Although Pianpin's words are exaggerated, they are still very accurate. This girl obviously grasped the doorway of Xu's father and Xu's mother, so she could easily see Xu's father and Xu's mother's preferences. Sure enough, Xu's father and Xu's mother received letters from Chang'an and Changping, and they didn't say anything about the two children's unfilial piety, but said that they wanted the two of them to stay in the academy to study with peace of mind, and strive to get a good score in the mid-year exam. Left and right they have also arrived in the capital, so it is not a big deal to see each other day in case. It's Chang'an and Changping, they are the hope of the next generation, where is the matter of Xu Erlang's champion, Xu's father and Xu's mother also have high expectations for them, so they also wrote in the reply letter that they hope they will take the second uncle as an example and come back with a champion when they grow up.
Compared with Chang'an Changping's sincerity, Xu Chong's reply is much simpler, counting his entire letter is only a few words: no fake, no return!
This letter is very well written, very powerful! is so strong that Jin Niang's face has nowhere to go. In the end, he could only ask people to send Xu Chong's reply to Xu's mother.
Mother Xu was not angry when she saw her son's letter, because she knew his temperament and temperament, even if she wanted to be angry, she had to persuade herself in her heart. She knows all the meat that fell from her body, and she knows all about her temperament, so she knows that San Lang is a bad treat to the two of them, how can she be delusional that San Lang will rush over non-stop after learning the news that they have arrived in the capital.
That's unrealistic.
Xu's mother was calm, but Xu's father was not calm, and scolded San Lang in a circle in the yard. If it weren't for San Lang's ancestor being his ancestor, Father Xu wouldn't even want to greet that kid's ancestor again.
What kind of feng shui can raise such an unfilial son, dealing with the father and mother is like dealing with the enemy, and the autumn wind sweeps the leaves. Those who know this Thomas say that he is rebellious, and those who don't know think that he and his father and mother are enemies of life and death.
Thinking of his son's perfunctory attitude, Xu's father felt more and more uncomfortable, so he sat in front of the door and scolded Xu Chong several times.
When Father Xu scolded Xu Chong, he only said to the maids, "The people guarding the door over there are knocking and knocking again, including the big and small maids who are serving in the courtyard, and they also make their mouths tighter." If anyone carelessly purses and says something they shouldn't say, you tell them to be careful of the master's punishment. On the contrary, as long as you are conscientious and conscientious, you will add an extra month's monthly silver to each person. β
Miao answered yes and went out to run errands.
Qingsui saw that Qingmiao was far away, so he said, "It is the duty of subordinates to keep their mouths tight, and Mrs. is too tolerant of them." Such a thing is done by knocking and knocking, and the lady also specially mentions the reward, and is careful to raise their hearts. β
Jin Niang said, "I'm not afraid of raising their hearts, but if they want more and better things, they have to work hard for me and work according to my heart." Such a person is actually the best to control, after all, he has something to ask. On the contrary, it is those who have no desires and no desires that should be paid the most attention. β
He also said, "Sweet dates and sticks, this is also a royal technique." Otherwise, if you only use any of these means, you will have to go wrong after a long time. "And in Xu Chong's matter, there is no way to go wrong.
Let's not say that he is old now, it's time to say kiss, and he can't marry a good daughter-in-law after ruining his reputation. Let's just say that people pay special attention to filial piety nowadays, if a person is not even filial to his parents, can he still be expected to be benevolent to his brothers and loyal to the monarch?
Filial piety is the first criterion for judging a person's character, so Jinniang will never allow anyone to spread Xu's father's words and destroy San Lang.
And for the sake of Saburo's good, what is it to have some blood, everything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
In view of the uncertain date when Xu Chong went home, and it would take some days for Chang'an to finish the exam in Chang'an, so Jin Niang's proposal to hold a reception banquet for the two elders was rejected by the two elders.
In fact, it was mainly Xu's mother who resigned, and Xu's father was so active that he wanted to be the host and invite some people to come to the door.
He is a son-in-law, and he also has a hand in communication, and he used to blink Pingyang Town like a fish in water, calling friends for decades, and his life is not too chic. But when he came to the capital, he has not met a "love-minded" person so far.
It would be good if there was a banquet at home, there would always be some people holding mountains of gold and silver to ask their own Erlang to take care of them, these people were not short of money in their hands, and because of his identity, if he was willing to hand it over, he would definitely take the initiative to hold him. Will he have no money to spend? Will there be no explanation flowers to chat with and sleep? Speaking of Xie Yuhua, Xu's father's mood became more and more sour, and he greeted Xu Erlang in his heart over and over again.
God's son, because he sent a pair of twin beauties, took the initiative to make peace, and asked him to be a father, don't talk about many things that he coerced and forced him outside.
He has already decided to forgive him, but unfortunately, this son of evil is really a son of evil, and after going around the capital, he is still the son he hates.
It turned out that this son gave this twin beauties not to him to enjoy the blessings of all people, but to massage his body and bones.
Heh, hehe, it's not a problem for the five girls to be the master at night, what kind of body bones do you use to massage?
These two won't let him get close, right? Hey, there is no place to stay here, and Father Xu wants to find another place to go in style.
But before they stepped out of the threshold, the two little petite and soft snuggled up, crying and tearful accusing him of dislike and neglect of them.
Father Xu: ......
Well, Father Xu, who claims to be the most empathetic, can only switch back and forth between frustration and ruthlessness, but he doesn't care how to change, and so far he has not been able to move a finger from those two beauties. In other words, since the day I started in Beijing, I haven't opened meat yet.
This is how to endure Father Xu, a man who sings every Chinese New Year's Eve.
But if you can't bear it, you have to endure it, who made him shy in his pocket, and he didn't even have the money to go out for the women's ticket.
So, Xu's father hit the abacus on the wronged man.
It's a pity that the banquet is resigned, and the arrival of the wronged boss is still far away......
It wasn't until more than 20 days later that Chang'an and Changping returned from Yingtian Academy.
After the two arrived home, they went straight to meet Xu's father and Xu's mother, who were doing their own things at that time. Mother Xu complained about the humid weather in the capital while flipping through her treasured books. Xu's father was bored and enjoyed the massage of the beauty.
It's really a simple massage, he does something not simple, but unfortunately, he never forces the beauty, and never does it to the beauty. Even if he had the heart to give these two beauties a little punishment, they were all defeated by the beauties in the end......
Anyway, the two of them get along barely and harmoniously, if you don't abandon the two of you roll your eyes at me from time to time, I snort coldly at you.
The arrival of Chang'an Changping broke this tense atmosphere, and Xu's father and Xu's mother also restrained their corrupt emotions.
The two got up to see their two grandchildren, but they couldn't help but look surprised.
Father Xu was open-mouthed, staring at the two strokes that caught him, "This is how you grew up eating bullwhips, isn't it?" β
Mother Xu couldn't bear it anymore and fell directly over a teacup.
Father Xu consciously said the wrong thing, covered his mouth and coughed dryly, "What, the wind and sand are too big, they all run out of their mouths, the sky in the capital is not good on this day, and it is not as clean as our Pingyang." β
Mother Xu: "Hehe." β
"Sit, sit. Come and sit. Chang'an Changping came to my grandfather and asked my grandfather to take a good look at the two of you. Oh good boy, this head jumps too fast. How tall were you two before you came to the capital, and did you reach my shoulders? Now I have grown fast in the past six months, and I am as tall as me. β
Xu Mu snorted coldly, "Can you tell the truth?" Is it really so difficult to admit that Chang'an and Changping are taller than you? Hehe, don't you see that the two grandchildren are looking down at you now? How did you look up at them while telling jokes that were as tall as you? β
