When Jin Niang came out of Chen Jiayu's yard, she called the maid and asked her to send a message outside, so that people could inform Xu Erlang of the news of Xu Chong's return.

Xu Erlang's side knew about this earlier, but he was too busy with the affairs of the entire Jiangnan to be too busy, so he asked a few people from Chang'an to come back first, and he waited until lunch before he went back to the mansion.

When Xu Chong reappeared, he finally didn't look mentally retarded. He was in high spirits, full of ambition and high spirits...... Well, after communicating with the child in Chen Jiayu's womb, he felt that the whole person was getting taller and taller.

He is also very powerful, and he let Jiayu carry the cub before he got married. And this time with Jiayu, Xu Chong keenly noticed that the estrangement and alienation between husband and wife disappeared invisibly.

He was a rough-tempered, but delicate man. And because the marriage with Jiayu was completely coerced and lured by him, it was Jiayu who was afraid of him, and because she was born with some inferiority, the husband and wife seemed to be in love, but in fact, she was nervous when she got along, as if she was worried that if she didn't like it, she would dislike her.

This subtle and detached feeling made Xu Chong crazy, but he couldn't help it. Frank conversations can frighten Jiayu, and let them go, worrying that the distance of time and space will further alienate them.

Once the clinker had a child, Jiayu's mind suddenly turned a corner. Now she can face him calmly, and she no longer holds back her friendship with him. Looking at those beautiful eyes with affection, Xu Chong's eyes were straight, his hands and feet were weak, his heart was beating wildly, and he didn't want to let go when he hugged his daughter-in-law.

The wife is beautiful, and he will be promoted to be a father in a few months. Xu Chongzhi is full of pride, and now everything is very pleasing to the eye.

He smiled like a fool, and carefully carried Chen Jiayu to the flower hall. After seeing Xu Erlang sitting on the top, the corners of his mouth curled and shouted, "Second brother." He shouted to Jinniang, who was sitting on the other side, "Second sister-in-law." ”

Jin Niang smiled and asked them to sit quickly, and said, "The family doesn't have to be formal." ”

The corners of Xu Erlang's mouth twitched, and he barely endured it and didn't lecture Xu Chong. But seeing him supporting Chen Jiayu as carefully as he did supporting the Queen Mother, pinching his throat and caring for him, it was really spicy eyes.

That is, as his own brother, Xu Erlang couldn't help but complain. Otherwise, he would like to go out to see the scenery and wash his eyes.

A few people in Chang'an also frowned when they saw this, and the appearance of wanting to see the little uncle's jokes, but not daring to laugh is also hilarious.

As soon as Changping arrived in the house in the middle of the morning, he stayed in Chen Jiayu's courtyard and didn't come out, that is, a few people from Chang'an went back to the house to visit him, and Xu Chong also sent everyone away on the grounds of "no time".

He was perfunctory, and he didn't even bother to find an excuse. Chen Jiayu was very embarrassed, and said that it would be good to say "I am tired from the journey and need to rest". It's better than messing around with your daughter-in-law in broad daylight, which doesn't sound good.

But Xu Chong is such an ego, if he can listen to other opinions, he will not be Xu Chong. However, the daughter-in-law's opinion can still be listened to, but as for whether to do it or not, that is another matter.

Because of Xu Chong's operation, several people in Chang'an have only seen him now.

After Xu Chong and Chen Jiayu sat down, Chang'an, Brother Rong, Changhui in Changzhou, and even Xiaoyuer and Yu'an got up to greet them.

Chang'an said, "The third uncle came late, if he came a day earlier, he would still be able to see Changping." He came to Tongzhou with the third prince on a business trip, and he had just escorted the gold and silver back to Beijing not long after. ”

Xu Chong replied directly, "What did I do when I saw that bastard boy?" I dislike myself for seeing him for a long time, do I feel angry with myself? ”

Xiao Yu'er lowered her head, sneering in her heart, how many children in this family are the opponents of the third uncle? Speaking of mixing, when it comes to giving people popularity, the third uncle is definitely one of the best. Not to mention that the second brother is not the opponent of the third uncle, even if the several brothers in the family are all combined, they are not as good as the third uncle.

The third uncle is really too modest, this is not good, excessive modesty is equivalent to pride.

Xu Chong's words choked everyone in the flower hall didn't know what to say, but Xu Chong spoke again, looking at Yu'an in surprise, "Who is this?" Second brother, isn't Mo the godson you recognize? "That's the only way to do it. Otherwise, this kid can't be the second brother's own son. This looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and the second brother was still in Pingyang at that time, and every day like an ascetic, he either practiced martial arts or pondered the art of war, and even went out in a hurry. To put it mildly, the second brother can't give birth to a son of such an age. However, the appearance is outstanding, like their Xu family.

If Xu Erlang could read minds, he would hear San Lang's inner slander, and he would be afraid to smash the teacup on his head. But even if you don't have mind reading skills and can't hear those "heartfelt words", just looking at San Lang's eyebrows and eyes and lawsuit, Xu Erlang can guess San Lang's psychological activities. Suddenly, the brother was a little angry, but in the end, he was afraid that Chen Jiayu, who was sitting next to San Lang, was pregnant, and he was not frightened, so he endured a few words that he wanted to blurt out and spared Xu Chong once.

Chang'an was the most eye-catching, and hurriedly jumped out to explain Song Yu'an's origin to the third uncle. After the clinker Xu Chong learned that Song Yu'an was Song Mingqian's eldest son, he turned his head sideways and said to Xu Erlang, "Second brother, is the champion of your first scientific expedition, right?" Song Mingqian? I know. That's the dean of Qingyang Academy, but how did you and Song Shanchang get acquainted, second brother? Although you are in the same subject, Dean Song was the top student in high school, but you failed in that class...... You know! ”

Xu Chong didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he winked at his brother, this time his brother couldn't bear him, and directly threw the teacup in his hand.

Xu Chong received it in his hand and laughed hahaha. "Are you kidding, second brother, you see that you have been wearing a stiff face, which I know that you are majestic and dignified, and I don't know that I think you are born old."

Jin Niang: ...... What is the inevitable connection between these two words, why can't she understand? However, San Lang didn't want to be immortal, and Jin Niang understood, so she gave Xu Chong a meaningful look.

Even Xiao Yu'er and Chang'an looked at their third uncle speechlessly. At the same time, I thought in my heart: The third uncle is afraid that he will be overexcited when he sees the third uncle, so he can't talk with his brain? He has repeatedly provoked his father's majesty, is this to heaven?

Xu Chong couldn't go to the sky for the time being, but after he received the death sight of his second brother, his feverish brain finally cooled down. When he calmed down, he remembered what he had just said to death, and he really hated to eat his own head.

A brain is a good thing, but he doesn't deserve it!

Even Chen Jiayu stayed away from Xu Chong quietly, and Xu Chong regretted it even more.

Just ask you why you are so cheap, second brother, you are a person you can provoke again and again, you are afraid that you will die too late and want to reincarnate as soon as possible.

The topic ended here, lunch was brought to the table, the family ate, Xiao Yuer withdrew with the triplets first, and Jinniang personally sent Chen Jiayu back. As for Xu Erlang and Xu Chong, as well as Chang'an, Yu'an and Brother Rong, they all went to the study in the front yard.

Xu Chong came to Tongzhou Mansion at this time, naturally it was not without a purpose. He came to "inform" because he found a workshop for forging weapons on a small island two hundred miles away from Minzhou's capital.

said that it was a workshop, but it was actually a bit of a lift-up...... Workshop. There are still more than 1,000 people working in the ordinary weapons workshop under the rule of the imperial court, but there are few people there, and it is estimated that there are more than 500 people.

Xu Chong said, "Since my Shangfeng ate a closed door at the second brother's place, he didn't dare to put on small shoes for me when I turned around." But I'm not leading the position of a guerrilla general, so I definitely can't be a vegetarian meal. I, ah, was sent out every day to make rounds. Mother Xipi, where have the pirates and water bandits come in the past two months? At this time, there are many typhoons along the coast, and even pirates are sparing their lives and hiding in their nests. I know people are angry with me, but I can't help it, right? No, I just ran in the sea all day with a boatload of people, and I ran away as I ran. ”

The Admiral of Minzhou came to intercede with the family, but was rejected by Xu Erlang. That person naturally didn't dare to offend a governor, but he couldn't swallow that breath, and he turned around and tossed Xu Chong.

But he didn't dare to go overboard, and he also figured out Xu Chong's arrogant temperament, and felt that he was not a child who could cry and sell miserably, so he increased the task of summer patrol. This is a business matter, and this order has something to follow, and it is not untargeted, that is, Xu Chong really can't stand it, so it is also his own incompetence, isn't it?

Anyway, what happened was as Xu Chong said, he went far away while patrolling and accidentally found the island. The island is not large, and there are not many people inside, but the people inside come and go, casting weapons.

There was no need for Xu Erlang to open his mouth, at this time Chang'an said, "Third uncle, maybe it's a pirate stronghold?" ”

Xu Chong gave him a promising look at a kid,

But what came out was, "Your third uncle wouldn't have thought of this?" I still use you kid to remind? Hey, you kid has a lot of skills, dare to doubt your third uncle. ”

Chang'an: "Third uncle, it's important to get down to business." ”

Xu Chong coughed lightly and continued, "It's a good pirate stronghold, but one of the overseers is a Qi person. And you say it's a coincidence or not, I've even seen that person. ”

Brother Rong asked, "Where is it?" ”

"It's in our sailor camp."

That's a lot of fun, what does that mean? The deep meaning behind this really makes people's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Chang'an said, "Third uncle, those people in the water division are not so bold." ”

Brother Rong said, "Not necessarily." Big brother, you forgot, most of the iron ore mined by the family was transported to Minzhou. ”

As for who the iron ore was finally sent to, Xu Erlang already knew the news, but he didn't tell a few small ones. So what they know now is still writing old news, that is, these outdated news, which are also fresh in Xu Chong.

Because of the distance, although he was very concerned about his second brother's operation in Tongzhou. But he was either in the barracks or at sea, and the source channels were very limited, even if the people who were arranged outside would pass him the latest news from time to time. But secrets like where iron ore is going are not something that outsiders can know casually.

Because of this, Xu Chong also realized that he had made an explosive news. But it's not.

This news is that Chang'an is a little surprised, for Xu Erlang, the fact that he has known for a long time is not enough to make him stunned.

Xu Chong then said some things, such as how he acted and made a show to the fullest, and then he returned home to visit relatives during a one-month vacation. For example, when the Admiral of Minzhou Naval Division approved his vacation, how ugly his face was, how he held him, and asked him to say hello to his brother on his behalf. Xu Chong said these words, and several people in Chang'an also cheered up to listen, as for Xu Erlang, he asked, "If there is no big matter, go back to accompany your brother and sister, there are still affairs to be dealt with in the yamen, so I will go out of the house." ”

Xu Chong looked at the ruthless, unjust, and unreasonable second brother, but he didn't expect the second brother to be this kind of person. He brought the second brother this earth-shattering good news, and the second brother regarded him as nothing, and performed the river crossing and demolishing the bridge to the fullest.

Tsk, because he thinks about his brother so much, his hard work is all in vain.

The second brother is not worth it, the world is not worth it, he should go back to accompany his daughter-in-law.

The people in the study quickly dispersed.

Xu Erlang returned to Cuibai Garden and went on the same road as Xu Chong, Xu Chong also reacted at this time that the second brother was afraid that he had already known the news over there, so he somewhat understood that the second brother ignored his love.

But, "Second brother, your hand is long enough." It's only been how long you've been in Jiangnan, and you've even heard about things so hidden in Minzhou. Your method is not ordinary. ”

Xu Erlang: "It's just a coincidence. ”

Xu Chongcai didn't believe that this was a coincidence, all coincidences were just qualitative changes that had been accumulated to a certain extent and achieved.

However, the second brother didn't want to go into details, and he didn't want to waste time listening carefully.

Is it that the daughter-in-law is not fragrant? Is it because my son is not fun? What's wrong with him holding his soft daughter-in-law with his son who can't move, why waste time with a hard brother?

When they reached the inner court, the brothers separated. Xu Chong entered Chen Jiayu's courtyard without hesitation, and he didn't even bother to wave his hand to his second brother.

Xu Erlang didn't bother to bother with Xu Chong, and went straight back to Cuibai Garden. When Jin Niang saw him coming back, she said, "Do you want to take a nap, or do you want to go out immediately?" ”

"Let's take a break and then go out, San Lang has a headache."

Jin Niang nodded with palpitations, but didn't he, he felt that the power of a San Lang was greater than that of Changping and Changzhou combined. I don't know why an adult Xu Chong still gives her the feeling of a bear child, which is not scientific!

Jin Niang and Xu Erlang went to the inner room together, and the husband and wife lay on the bed together to rest, and Jin Niang talked to Xu Erlang about the embarrassment when Xu Chong entered the door today.

As he spoke, he sighed, "At first, I thought that San Lang and Jiayu were not worthy there, and I was worried that they would not be good after marriage. The truth is unexpected, San Lang is very tolerant and takes care of Jiayu, but Jiayu is a little afraid of San Lang. If husband and wife get along like this, it can last a long time, but there are just shortcomings. Fortunately, Xu is Jiayu wants to open, Xu is pregnancy gave Jiayu confidence, I see that Jiayu saw San Lang this time, but it was much closer. ”
