Ren Jinniang was reluctant, when it was time to leave, Xu Erlang still had to leave.
Fortunately, this man has a heart, and before leaving, he arranged all the affairs in the house, and deliberately left a few people in the dark for her to drive, in case of emergency.
The first two of these people are called Tonghe and Huhe, not to mention anything else, just listening to these two names, Jin Niang knows that these two people are designated as Mohe and Quhe, and they are Xu Erlang's secretly cultivated henchmen.
The two only showed up in front of Jin Niang, and then disappeared. But I have to say that knowing that someone was taking care of her in the dark, and by the way, helping her keep an eye on the movements of the entire house, her heart was much looser, and she was no longer as heavy and anxious as she was at the beginning.
Xu Erlang also told San Lang Xu Chong to listen to things in front of her these days, and when it was inconvenient for her to show up in the house, let Xu Chong show up, and the things that she was inconvenient to solve would either be handed over to Xu Chong, and if it didn't work, she would leave it until he came back to deal with it.
Later, Xu Erlang went to Mr. Ming and Mr. Qian to sit for a while, and then took the clothes and bags that Jin Niang packed and prepared to go out.
Jin Niang naturally reluctantly sent him to the gate, not only her, but also the rest of the small ones in the house came over. Including Xu Chong, Pianpian, Chang'an Changping Changle, all of them were absent - Xu's mother didn't come, she chanted in the Buddhist hall, saying that Xu Erlang was serving the Buddha in the Buddhist hall these days, so she didn't even see Xu Erlang's face, Xu Erlang only kowtowed outside the door, and told Mama Li to take care of Xu's mother, and left.
Xu Erlang went down the steps and was about to get into the carriage, but suddenly a carriage with a sign of the house came from the opposite side, and the driver was Wang Kui, needless to say that the person in the car must be Xu's father.
Father Xu was still urging Wang Kui in the carriage, "Hurry up, hurry up, you old boy, let you wake up your master in the morning, it's better for you to sleep in the dark, and I want Lao Tzu to call you." Hey, you thing, if the master can't catch up with that son of a son today, Lao Tzu will pick your skin when he enters the house. ”
Wang Kui felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
Where is the time when he slept with the flower girl, it was obvious that the master worked too hard last night, and he didn't wake up after shouting a few times in the morning. His voice was hoarse, and he had to go back to the flower girl's room where he stayed last night to drink a cup of tea.
However, in front of the second young master and the little masters, he didn't dare to say it. He could only say, "Master, when you arrive at the gate of the mansion, the second young master, the second lady, and a few little masters are here." ”
In the carriage, Xu's father, who was about to continue to scold, immediately shut up.
He got out of the car slowly, and sure enough, he saw that the children and grandchildren of the family were paying attention to him, and Xu's father was embarrassed for a second, and quickly returned to normal. He looked at Xu Erlang, who was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, with a jade tree in the wind, quite handsome, and quite the color of his youth, and nodded secretly in his heart.
With Erlang's appearance, the examiner will be happy when he sees it, so isn't it even more likely that he will be successful?
Father Xu felt comfortable, and what he said sounded good, and after a few words of courteous instructions to Xu Erlang, he said, "Go to the exam, my Xu family still wants you to support the lintel and glorify your ancestors." Don't save money when you go to Fucheng, there is a lot of money in the family, as long as you can pass the exam, your father will pay for your scientific examination. There is only one requirement, you must give me a lifter in the exam, otherwise I ......"
Otherwise, Father Xu didn't say anything, but looking at his constipated expression, Jin Niang knew that it was not a good thing to follow.
Facts have proved that Jin Niang's intuition is still very accurate, and later she was not worried about letting people go out to inquire, and she learned that Xu's father gambled 5,000 taels of silver with others, betting that Xu Erlang would be able to pass the exam this time.
Jin Niang's feeling of heart congestion at that moment is estimated to be something that only Xu Erlang can understand.
She knew that Father Xu was unreliable, but he was unreliable to this extent, and it once again refreshed her cognition.
Five thousand taels of silver, that is, the rich and noble families in the capital, spend less than five thousand taels of silver in a year. Not to mention that it is in Pingyang Town, an ordinary town in the far northwest, just these 5,000 taels of silver are enough to feed the people of a village to live without food and clothing for several lifetimes, and they may not be able to spend all of them.
Father Xu's ...... Merry boy, who doesn't know the suffering of the world, has lived in a pile of money since he was a child, and I'm afraid he doesn't have a specific concept of silver and two.
He has a good face, I am afraid that he will be provoked to say a lot of nonsense, this must have fallen into the trap specially set up for him by someone with a heart.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Since those people are calculating Father Xu, they just don't take the Xu family in their eyes, and even Father Xu wants to calculate and calculate, so it is impossible to see her as a woman. Expecting people to look at her face and cancel the gambling contract is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Jin Niang wanted to write a letter to inform Xu Erlang of this matter, but after thinking about it, she decided to put it aside for the time being, and just wait for Xu Erlang to come back after the exam.
Anyway, even if I say it now, it will only add to his troubles, and don't talk about these messy things anymore, which will affect his mood.
On the fourth day after Xu Erlang left home, Jin Niang received something he sent.
It was some freshly flavored pastries that he bought when he was passing through some county seats. In addition, there are letters that he took time to write during these days, which recorded what he saw and heard every day, how he ate, what books he read, and visited those people with Zheng Shunming on the way.
Judging by the words in his letter, he has benefited a lot from going out in just a few days, and he has been deeply touched.
At the same time, he also asked her at the end of the letter how she has been doing in the past few days. Can the body feel comfortable? Is it suitable for eating? What about parents? A few small ones in the family can be naughty and add to her burden?
Xu Erlang is cold and cold, and he has never been a person of many words, but the letter he sent was long-winded, and the parents talked about the short things, which made Jinniang's heart warm when she read it, as if she had drunk a cup of hot tea on a cold day, and she was very comfortable from the inside out.
Men know that they care about you and feel sorry for you, which is really happier than anything else.
Jin Niang held the letter and read it several times, and let the maids make fun of her for being "full of eyes full of the second son" and didn't care. She was relieved, so she went to the study to polish the ink and write a reply to Xu Erlang.
wrote that she was in good health these days, ate well and slept well, but she would miss him a little at night, and it would be a little uncomfortable to feel the coolness on her side after waking up from a dream.
When writing this sentence, Jin Niang was a little surprised, but she hesitated for a moment, and still according to her own mind, she appealed to his nostalgia for him in the letter.
She wrote that she was in good health, and as usual, she went out for a walk every morning and evening, walking around the yard a few times, and felt a little tired. Writing that she seems to have eaten a lot of food again, she usually wakes up from a nap and only needs to eat some fruits and snacks, but now she is not full, and she has to add a small wonton or bird's nest soup to barely fill her stomach.
