Knowing that Jin Niang and Xu Erlang would come to the door today, Father Lin dismissed the trip agreed with his friends earlier to go to the other party's house to taste tea and appreciate calligraphy and paintings. They waited wholeheartedly at home for their daughter and son-in-law to come to the door, and their hearts were full of expectations.

Father Lin thought more about it, and after thinking about it, he still sent a letter to Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen. The Tao is not to cook at noon, and the family gathers together, which is regarded as a celebration of Erlang's return to Beijing.

Uncle Shen naturally has nothing to do, and Aunt Shen is also happy and full of joy.

Her hair turned gray when she waited for Xu Erlang to return to Beijing, if Xu Erlang didn't return to Beijing, Pingxun's future would no longer be certain, and Mingzhu was afraid that she would break the threshold of her house. To be reasonable, although she is a daughter, Aunt Shen was forced to do this, and some moments also wanted to break off the blood relationship with this unfilial daughter.

I knew that she was a bastard, and I shouldn't have given birth to her at that time. Now it's a good thing, because of her son-in-law's future, she runs here three meals a day, and the words are like a wheel, and her ears are calloused.

In the past, Aunt Shen was pleased to be eloquent with Mingzhu, and she always did not suffer losses when she confronted people, and she had the demeanor of her youth. But it was the knife edge, and I was happy to see those people rout under Mingzhu's mouth, but now that the knife was pointing at her, Aunt Shen's mind was not so bright.

While changing her clothes, Aunt Shen talked to Uncle Shen, "Pingxun's time in the capital is not short, Mingzhu wanted Pingxun to have an errand in the capital earlier, and by the way, he would settle down here." If I didn't agree before, after all, they didn't know each other well, and they definitely weren't cheap in Zhuyang County. But aren't we also going to settle in the capital? At that time, if Mingzhu and Hexun return to Zhuyang, I don't know if there will be a chance to see each other again in this life. Besides, you also know that Mingzhu's two concubines are not worry-free, and when the time comes, they will not even be able to find a person from their mother's family if they are wronged, will they still have that day? If you want me to say, let's help them set up a home in the capital, and when the time comes, we will find a family affair for Baozhu in the capital, and the children are all around, even if there is something wrong with them, we can take care of a few points, right? ”

Shen Mingzhu exchanged all the valuable things at home for silver, and went to Beijing with a large sum of silver. She insisted on settling in the capital, and Uncle Shen didn't know about falling out with her in-laws for this reason. Aunt Shen was worried that Uncle Shen would punish Mingzhu, or if she was angry and said something serious, she deliberately concealed it.

Fortunately, Mingzhu's in-laws still knew about it, and they never told Uncle Shen about it, so Uncle Shen didn't know that Mingzhu and his family were not going to return to Zhuyang.

But I didn't know it before, but now that Aunt Shen said it, Uncle Shen naturally knew.

He reflexively wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he rolled three times on the tip of his tongue and swallowed them back.

What can he say? Let the girl honestly go back to Zhuyang to stay?

He didn't open the capital, can he still manage his daughter not to buy a house in the capital? There is another sentence, it is really like what Aunt Shen said, Mingzhu is not a worry-free one. There were a lot of things that happened after she got married, so he invited his in-laws to eat and drink to make amends. This means that he has a big face, and there is a sister-in-law of Jinshi and a nephew and son-in-law of a court member behind him, and others give him some face. But if he leaves...... Mingzhu is really big and makes people angry, who can protect her?

Uncle Shen was also worried that this girl would turn over the ditch sooner or later, so he didn't want to move to the capital before, and there was also the factor of Mingzhu. But now that the matter of moving to the capital has become a foregone conclusion, is it still appropriate to let Mingzhu's family stay in Zhuyang?

Uncle Shen frowned, pondering and said, "Is this your meaning, or the meaning of Mingzhu?" ”

Aunt Shen said, "With my considerations, Mingzhu also has this thought." Doesn't this Jin Niang still say that people go to high places? After seeing the prosperity of the capital, who would want to return to the small place in Zhuyang. Besides, Mingzhu and they have now separated from each other, so it doesn't matter if they settle in the capital, sir, don't you say? ”

Uncle Shen glared at her, "Is it up to Mingzhu to decide such a big matter?" Do you mean by asking your son-in-law? Pingxun also has an errand for the county government, and he receives a fixed amount of rice and silver every month, which is also a decent person. If he really wants to come to the capital to make a living, he will have to quit his errand, where will he find a more decent errand for him at that time? ”

Aunt Shen is not easy to say, Wu Pingxun's errand, long before they went to Beijing, Mingzhu forced him to quit with death. I can't say anything, it's sold. Because Mingzhu's father-in-law is an old scribe of the county government and has a certain prestige in the county government, this errand changed hands very smoothly.

At this time, a large part of the errand was still passed from father to son, and "son inherits father's business" was popular. Mingzhu and Wu Pingxun don't have a son yet, so Wu Pingxun is going to hand over this quick errand to the eldest son of the eldest brother's family. It's a pity that they were all separated, and Mingzhu was unwilling to give up this position in vain, and in the end, Dafang gave out a hundred taels of silver, so that Dafang's second son computer turned off Wu Pingxun's errand.

The matter has long been a foregone conclusion, even if Wu Pingxun and Mingzhu go back now, the errand will not return to them.

Aunt Shen said, "Isn't there still Erlang?" Erlang is from the third grade, and he wants Pingxun to arrange an errand, isn't that easy? Don't you know that Pingxun, that is a down-to-earth and hard-working person, no matter which yamen he puts him in, he can mix well. However, he has been doing fast fishing for more than ten years, and this is the easiest to get started. No, I just thought that if I couldn't do it, I would let Erlang find him a job in the yamen of the capital to catch him quickly, this is not too much, right? "Aunt Shen was worried that Uncle Shen would oppose it, so she didn't dare to say that she wanted a high-grade errand. If you catch fast, you will not be a small official, and Aunt Shen can't look down on it now. However, this is not because Mingzhu is worried that Uncle Shen will not help him speak, so he begged low. After this opening, Wu Pingxun was "bullied" in the yamen in the future, and then transferred to a high position.

Aunt Shen felt that Mingzhu's idea was a bit whimsical, and asked her to say that she would do it in one step if she wanted anything. It's also divided into one step and two steps, which is not all about finding trouble.

However, she was not familiar with Xu Erlang, and she was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't dare to say this. I can only comfort myself and say that it is not bad to catch quickly, and when Pingxun is familiar in the yamen, and his boss and colleagues know his relationship with the Xu Mansion, even if Xu Erlang does not open his mouth to promote, I am afraid that those who want to please him will take the initiative to pull Pingxun twice.

That's good.

In the end, he is only a son-in-law, not his own son, and Aunt Shen thinks that she has planned for them to this point, and her mother-in-law has done one of the best.

Aunt Shen's plan is very good, but unfortunately Uncle Shen shouldn't. As soon as he heard that Uncle Shen wanted Erlang to help arrange Pingxun's future, his whole face turned red with anger. He pointed at Aunt Shen and gasped, "This is what you are going to do?" You told me that you want Erlang to arrange a future for Pingxun, which is bending the law for personal gain. How can you let Erlang mix in the officialdom in the future, if he is caught by outsiders with pigtails, will he lose his grace and you will pay you? ”

"You tell me, did you come up with this method, or did the pearl haunt you. That girl, who doesn't do anything all day long, thinks about some evil ways. I said I wouldn't let her follow her to Beijing, you had to take her. Let's see, I'll find something for you now. ”

"I'll tease you here, don't think about the idea of beating Erlang. If you let me know that you begged to come to Erlang and make Erlang and Jinniang embarrassed, I wouldn't be able to get around you. ”

Aunt Shen was angry when she heard this, and wanted to scratch Uncle Shen twice. Who is she doing this for? Who is she trying her best for? Was Mingzhu born to her alone? She is Mingzhu's mother, and he is still his father. It was the daughter of her in-laws, she wanted to climb up, she begged to come to her, once, twice, three times, what can she do.

Does she want to beg someone? Is she shameless? Doesn't she know shame? She is also a human being, and she also wants to save face. But children are debts owed in previous lives, so what can you do if you don't plan for them? She couldn't bear to embarrass her daughter, so she had to embarrass Jinniang and Xu Erlang, besides, was that embarrassing? In their opinion, the move of a finger can give Pingxun a good future, is this too much? Why did other officials ascend to heaven, and the chickens and dogs in the family could be stained with light? And what about them, what have they done to Xu Erlang over the years? In addition to how much people respect them because of his identity, how many other practical benefits does she get in her hands? Finally, someone sent some silver, and before she could warm it in his hand, he sent it back again? Over the years, Xu Erlang has not sought much wealth, but because he offended people in Hezhou, and even took them to Zhuyang and was made a lot of stumbling blocks. What's wrong with all these things? Now it's just a matter of letting them take care of their sons-in-law a little, that's wrong? Can't bother Jinniang and Erlang because of Mingzhu and Hexun, which one is his own? The old man was dizzy, and his elbow was turned out, didn't he?

Aunt Shen and Uncle Shen quarreled again, but because they were worried about the fact that Jin Niang and Xu Erlang would arrive at the mansion later, the two of them were still a little measured, so they moved and did not move.

However, because the words were not speculative, the two quarreled so much that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they even smashed everything in the house.

When Jin Niang and Xu Erlang arrived at the Lin Mansion, they saw several little maids running in the direction where Uncle Shen's yard was.

Jin Niang's eyelids jumped several times, and she intuitively felt that something was happening. She looked at Ke Ke and Xuanxuan on the side, and the two sisters-in-law looked at her embarrassedly, and then looked at Xu Erlang. Seeing that Xu Erlang didn't pay attention to their side, and was talking to Changle and the others, Ke Ke whispered to Jinniang, "Uncle and aunt have a dispute, it's not a problem, it's okay for a while." ”

She's used to it.

If you marry into this house, your family will live in peace. The father-in-law is kind, the mother-in-law is kind, the father-in-law is thoughtful, and the sister-in-law is considerate, so there is really nothing unpleasant. But my family is good, but my relatives have some ...... It's hard to say.

Uncle is an understanding person, that is, aunt, paranoid and strong, and loves to take advantage of small advantages. If the uncle was confused, the days would pass without pain, but the uncle didn't rub the sand in his eyes, so the couple quarreled every once in a while.

Ke Ke also doubts, hasn't the relationship between husband and wife faded long ago after such a quarrel? But my uncle has not taken a concubine in his life, which is also unusual. Besides, it's all noisy to relatives' houses, aren't you afraid that people will see jokes?

It is said that the ugliness of the family is not publicized, and in the homes of the people Ke Ke has seen in the past, even if there is bitter hatred, it will not make a fuss on the surface, damage the reputation of his family, and let outsiders see the jokes. But Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen are not like this...... To be precise, Aunt Shen doesn't care about this. That temper is also a little explosive, and I can't stand a little grievance. Today, I don't know if it's my uncle who doesn't like her again, and the two quarrel again.

Ke Ke said a few words, and Jin Niang didn't ask. However, her eyes deepened, and she couldn't help but look at Xu Erlang, who was coaxing the child. How could it be so coincidental, as soon as they came, my uncle and aunt quarreled, and I felt that this matter must have something to do with him.

Xu Erlang felt her gaze and raised his eyebrows to look at her, Jin Niang hurriedly waved her hand at him, it's okay, you are innocent, I believe this matter has nothing to do with you.

Jin Niang was so self-comforting, but she was slapped in the face after lunch.

Just as they finished lunch and were about to go back, Aunt Shen crossed Uncle Shen, directly stopped Jin Niang and Xu Erlang, and told Wu Pingxun in front of everyone in the Lin family.

Aunt Shen cried and said, "Uncle knows that this is also difficult for you, but I can't help it." Your uncle, because he didn't want to cause you trouble, had a few arguments with me this morning. But the child's future is a big deal, and he can't always live in such an unclear way. ”

As she spoke, Aunt Shen looked at Father Lin and Aunt Shen with tears in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, you are all with your children and grandchildren, and your children and grandchildren are all promising, so naturally you don't have to worry about them for the rest of their lives." But I can't, my pearl married to Zhuyang, if I and your eldest brother still stay in Zhuyang, I can naturally take care of them a little. But your eldest brother and I are going to move to the capital, and then we will leave Mingzhu alone in Zhuyang, and I don't know if there is a chance to see a second person in this life, this is cutting my flesh. Sister-in-law, you are also a mother, if you are separated from Xuanxuan like this, can you bear it? Don't you want to have children? Don't you worry about how she's doing? After all, Xuanxuan is out of breath, and her temperament is good, so even if she gets married, she will have a better life. But Mingzhu is already rude and willful, unreasonable and unreasonable, and she has to stir up three points, before in Zhuyang, the in-laws don't care about her in our face, but if it is a long time, who can endure her all the time. We want to let Mingzhu rest assured under our noses, but the family can't sit and eat empty. Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, you just open your mouth to help me say a few good words, and let Erlang arrange an errand for Pingxun. ”

This means that Wu Pingxun and Shen Mingzhu didn't come over today, otherwise when they saw this scene, they were afraid that their faces would not look good. After all, there is no way to ask for people, but Uncle Shen kidnapped Xu Erlang and Jinniang for morality, and lifted the two of them up in front of everyone.

This is also a quarrel between Aunt Shen and Uncle Shen, holding back the fire in her heart, and doing things so imperceptibly. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so impulsive in normal times.

She has completely set up the two of Jinniang, she is benevolent, but if Jinniang and Xu Erlang don't help, it will seem unkind and unjust.
