Such an aunt's thinking has been stereotyped and cannot be explained. Jin Niang could only try to comfort her, saying that everything was Xu Erlang, he was good at kung fu, and they brought many subordinates, so there would definitely be no accident.

She also promised to send letters every once in a while to let her aunt know how they were doing and that they were still safe.

In this way, my aunt can feel much more at ease.

When leaving the Lin family and going back to Xu's house, Xu Erlang deliberately asked people to take a detour from Pingyang Street.

Xu Chong's dart game is on Pingyang Street, and the head of the dart is a typical Northwest person. The raw shoulders are big and the waist is round, the face is fierce, and it looks very difficult to touch. But just from the fact that he quietly taught Saburo to learn martial arts, it can be seen that this person is not only delicate, but also kind-hearted.

They passed by the gate of the dart game, and they heard the sound of the dart master in the dart game when he practiced martial arts.

Jin Niang saw Xu Erlang showing a thoughtful look in the direction of the dart game, so she was worried that he wanted to play bad, so she pushed him. Xu Erlang came back to his senses, but only said, "Don't think about it, I'm thinking about whether we should bring some dart masters into Beijing." ”

Jin Niang: "...... There's no need to be so exciting, right? We don't have much industry, so we won't attract others to covet it, right? That is, it is the idea of some people to fight our property, isn't this still you, Mohe, and San Lang. According to your efforts, it shouldn't be difficult to scare those robbers away, right? ”

Xu Erlang said, "You don't know about the outside world, and you don't know that on the road from Shuozhou to the capital, a nest of mountain bandits appeared last year. ”

“…… Then if we don't take the small road, won't we be able to take the official road? That mountain bandit wouldn't be so bold that even passers-by on the official road would dare to rob it, right? ”

"That's exactly what it is."

Jin Niang frowned, according to her intuition, this nest of mountain bandits would definitely not be as simple as simple mountain bandits. She thought, did she encounter the classic passage mentioned in the book - a certain prince wanted to rebel, in the name of mountain bandits, to launch a rebellion?

She only dared to think, but she did not dare to speak.

Xu Erlang said again, "Regardless of whether the mountain bandits have a background or not, and who is the backer behind them, in short, the imperial court has sent military generals to attack." Unexpectedly, the mountain bandit was clever, and when he heard the news, he ran to make trouble elsewhere, and when the imperial army dispersed, he made a comeback. ”

Jin Niang: Puff. That mountain bandit doesn't care about the gains and losses of the territory, and he knows that he can change places with one shot, and he is really talented.

Saying this, Xu Erlang got out of the car, and told Jinniang by the way, "You and Xiaoyu'er are playing in the car, I'll come when I go." ”

Jin Niang: ...... Do you think you have two daughters and let us both play in the car?

thought so in her heart, but Jin Niang didn't say it. Instead, Xiao Yu'er nodded solemnly when she heard this, and sweetly promised her father, "Daddy, go ahead, I will take care of my mother." ”

Xu Erlang entered the dart game, and someone came out to receive him.

Not to mention Xu Chong, who was sweating in the sun, how frightened he was when he saw his second brother coming, and how shocked the owner of the dart game was when he knew that Xu Erlang was here to talk about business instead of smashing the field. It was only said that Jin Niang was bored sitting in the carriage, watching Xiao Yu'er playing with the nesting doll given to her by Qing'er with great interest, but she heard someone shouting outside the window, "Brother Runzhixian." ”

This voice Jin Niang is a little familiar, and a little unfamiliar, and I really can't remember who it is for a while. However, when she heard Mohe, who was sitting on the wheel of the car driving, called, "I've seen Zheng Gongzi", Jin Niang remembered that the owner of the voice just now was Zheng Shunming.

Zheng Shunming failed in the last autumn and decided to fight again after three years of hard study. He is also going to leave in the next few days, so he will come to Shifu by the way, first, to take Shi Jingyu back to his parents' house, and secondly, to say goodbye to everyone in Shifu, especially Mrs. Shi.

Not long after I didn't want to come out of Shifu, I saw a familiar carriage. The carriage belongs to the Xu family, and there is the Xu family's family emblem hanging there, which is very easy to recognize.

Zheng Shunming spoke directly with joy, and it was not Xu Erlang sitting in the clinker carriage at all, but Jin Niang and her beloved daughter.

Jin Niang apologized in the carriage and said hello to Shi Jing by the way. Shi Jingyu teased the son in her arms, and ignored Jinniang a little.

However, after her husband abducted her, Shi Jingyu had to restrain her bad attitude, raised her head and replied, "Second lady is good." ”

When she looked up, Shi Jingyu saw the little fish sitting next to Jin Niang.

Xiao Yu'er is wearing a goose-yellow spring dress, combing her hair, her willow eyebrows, apricot eyes and small mouth, and her facial features are delicate like a virgin sitting down in Guanyin, not to mention how cute she is.

Shi Jingyu also liked it a little, but when she thought that this was Jinniang's daughter, she couldn't help but snort coldly.

She looked at the son in her arms, yes, Shi Jingyu had already given birth and added a son to Zheng Shunming. This is the eldest grandson of the Zheng family, and because his appearance is not as ugly as his father, but similar to his mother Xiao, he is quite delicate and elegant, and he is very liked by the Zheng family.

Shi Jingyu thought that she gave birth to a son, and Jin Niang just gave birth to a daughter, so she unconsciously straightened her waist.

She secretly thought to herself: What's the use of marrying a capable husband, isn't her stomach unlucky? Unlike her, she became a man in one fell swoop, and her son is clever and sensible, and he also has a good brain, and he can already recite dozens of poems at a young age.

Her son, when he grows up, he wants to be the champion. She will be old in the future, and she will have countless glory and wealth, no better than Jin Niang, she has already given birth to a girl, if the next child is still a daughter, she can't keep it even if she has a good husband.

Jin Niang didn't see the disdain in Shi Jingyu's eyes, but she and Shi Jingyu had always hated each other, and they didn't bother to deal with her, let alone care about her attitude. Just through the curtain of the car that was raised, I simply asked Zheng Shunming a few words.

Zheng Shunming said, "I heard that Brother Runzhi will also go to Beijing in a few days, I don't know if I can pass through Shuozhou, if I pass through Shuozhou, I don't know if I can go along?" Xu Erlang came out of the dart game.

The head of the dart game said enthusiastically to Xu Erlang that he would arrange the best son-in-law escort at that time, and whispered, "San Lang is indeed good, it's a pity to waste it, it's just that my ability is limited, and San Lang won't make much progress in learning with me." Since Xu Juren did not object to his younger brother learning martial arts, it was better to wait until he arrived in Kyoto to find a good master for San Lang, so as not to delay San Lang's talent. ”

Xu Erlang nodded in response, "Okay, I see." ”

The head of the dart was satisfied and wanted to say something more, but Jin Niang and Zheng Shunming had already looked at it.

The ancestors of the chief dart head all lived in Pingyang Town, and they also knew Zheng Shunming. And Jin Niang, although he didn't know him, he guessed that he was afraid that it was Xu Erlang's daughter, so he didn't look at it much, but just hugged his fist at Zheng Shunming from afar, and then said goodbye to Xu Erlang and returned to the dart game.

Since we met, there is no reason not to sit together. Xu Erlang naturally invited Zheng Shunming to a teahouse very close to have a cup of tea together.

Jin Niang led Xiao Yu'er, Shi Jingyu hugged her son, and also followed.

In the same box, Xu Erlang and Zheng Shunming were talking about the itinerary of departure, while Jinniang and Shi Jingyu had no common topic, so no one spoke rashly.

It was Xiao Yu'er, who saw a baby younger than her, and was very curious. She also has a very introverted personality, especially not afraid of life, she stretched out her hand and wanted to hold her little brother to play, and said in a soft and glutinous little milk voice, "I am Xiao Yu'er, my big name is Xu Changxin, what is my brother's name, how old is he this year?" ”

The little boy recognized his life a little, so he drilled into his mother's arms.

She was not very happy with Shi Jingyu like this, and felt that the child had embarrassed herself. But I also sincerely cherish my son, and I also feel that my son is boring to play with a little girl, especially this little girl is still Jinniang's daughter, so she didn't coax the child to talk, nor did she tempt. Coax him to play boldly with the little fish.

Xiao Yu'er didn't get a response from her little brother and didn't get angry, she just looked at Jin Niang with puzzled eyes, as if to say, "What's the matter, Niangniang, can't this brother speak?" ”

Jin Niang took out a pair of backgammon chess directly from her purse and asked Xiao Yu'er, "Do you want to play?" ”

Xiao Yu'er nodded, "There's nothing else to play with, so I can only play for a while." ”

Jin Niang nodded her finger funny, "Ghost elf." ”

The two played backgammon, and the male doll finally raised his head from Shi Jingyu's arms this time, looking curiously at the kittens, dogs, and ponies on the table.

Yes, this backgammon is from the hand of Xu Erlang, a beloved woman. He personally carved chess pieces for his daughter, and the chess pieces were carved into the shape of various small animals, which were particularly small and delicate, and people couldn't put them down. That wasn't enough, he also got all kinds of paints and painted the chess pieces with red, blue, pink, yellow and blue.

Five colors are enough for five children in the family to play together. PS: Xu Chong thinks he is an adult, and playing backgammon with his nephews and nieces is too naïve and too girly, so he never comes to "team battles". is still a child's heart, playing with a few nephews and nieces, a veritable child king.

Xiao Yu'er moved with a pink chess piece, and Jin Niang held a cyan one, and the boy was itchy to see it, and wanted to stretch out his hand several times. Seeing this, Jin Niang was amused, and her eyes were also dyed with a smile, so she asked, "Is it okay for Qi'er and Xiao Yu'er to play backgammon together?" ”

This boy's name is Zheng Qi, nicknamed Qi'er. Because Xu Erlang and Zheng Shunming have a good relationship, his Xisan and Full Moon Wine Jinniang have both participated.

However, in the end, he didn't deal with Shi Jingyu, so he rarely had contact with each other after that, which led to the fact that although they were children of the same age, Xiao Yu'er and Qi'er were completely unfamiliar.

Qi'er nodded, and Shi Jingyu showed an angry look on her face. But she also knew the severity, and she didn't want to teach her son in front of outsiders, so she didn't say anything.

Xiao Yu'er had a little friend, so she patiently taught him to play chess, and Jin Niang let go of her mind, so she had time to listen to Xu Erlang and Zheng Shunming talk.

As expected, the two were discussing the matter of leaving for Shuozhou, and in addition, Xu Erlang also invited Zheng Shunming to continue to live in the Xu family's house.

The Xu family has three houses in Shuozhou, two of which are in good locations, in case the age difference between Zheng Shunming and Lin's father is too big, there is no common topic, and it is embarrassing to live together, they can live separately.

However, the Zheng family obviously arranged it, so Zheng Shunming smiled and said, "This time I won't work hard to drive the virtuous brother." Since I came back from the last imperial examination, I told my father about buying a property in Shuozhou, and now the Zheng family has also bought a house in Shuozhou. It's small, but the location is good, where I lived this autumn. ”

Xu Erlang was also happy for his friend when he heard this, so he said, "In this case, I won't force it." ”

Later, the two chatted a lot about this year's invigilators and answering skills, and they became interested, and they chatted directly until it was dark.

In the end, Xiao Yu'er and Qi'er shouted that they were hungry at the same time, and a few people went to the restaurant next door to eat.

After dinner, they went home, and then they were dispersed.

Half a month later, they set off for the capital, and early in the morning, Jinniang and Xu Erlang went to bid farewell to Xu's father and Xu's mother.

Xu's father was "invited" home last night, and he felt unhappy that he was disgraced by his son in public. In addition, I also ate too much wine, and some of them were up, so I still sleep in the yard.

After listening to the maid's return, the two went to see Xu's mother first.

When I entered Heyan Hall, I saw that Xu Chong and Pian Pian had arrived.

Xu Chong has grown up very quickly in the past two years, and he is almost at Xu Erlang's shoulder. He was wearing a black suit, his eyebrows and eyes were a little cold, and his appearance was five or six points similar to Xu Erlang.

And maybe it's because he's two years older, or maybe it's because he knows that he can practice martial arts outside so freely before, it's all this sister-in-law who persuaded the second brother in the back, he is grateful to Jinniang, and he has a little more respect between his words and deeds.

Pian Pian is also dressed very neatly today, she is wearing a riding costume that is popular from the capital. The red riding outfit makes her bright little face more ruddy and delicate, and it makes people feel good when they look at it.

The brothers and sisters said goodbye to Mother Xu together, and no matter how cold Mother Xu was, she couldn't help but be red-eyed at this time.

Xu Erlang and Xu Chong didn't say anything, but Pian Pian couldn't bear it anymore when she saw this, and ran over to hold her mother's arm and coquettishly, "Mother and we will go to the capital together." My mother has never been to the capital, let's go together, let's see the world, okay? If my mother doesn't go, I will miss my mother. ”

Mother Xu felt a little more melancholy on her face, rubbed her little daughter's hair and said, "My mother is old, and she can't bear to run around and be tired, so she won't go." Pian Pian went with your brother and sister-in-law, and wrote to her mother about what she had seen and heard in Kyoto, so that she thought that her mother had also been there. If you want to kiss your mother, let your third brother escort you back. Listen to your sister-in-law outside, she's a good one, don't make her angry......"

A hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, Xu Mu thought of what to say, and her heart was not calm.

However, no matter how coquettish Xu Pianpian was, in the end she did not agree to go to Beijing together.

After several people came out of Xu's mother's courtyard, they went to see Xu's father again.

Father Xu was only called up by Wang Kui at this time, and he had just put on his clothes, and he didn't have time to wash up.

His hair was disheveled, his body smelled of alcohol, and his clothes were untidy. This looks like Jin Niang's eyes hurt, and she is a daughter-in-law, so she needs to avoid it, so she just hung her head and didn't look up.

When Father Xu heard that his sons were leaving, he waved his hand in disgust, "Let's go, let's go, the tight spell on my head can be regarded as loose." ”
