Xu Chong ran away from Xu's father's three souls, and went to the back house to find his daughter-in-law with satisfaction. However, as a filial son, he was also afraid that the old man would have a good day of joy, so after walking to the inner courtyard, he asked the maid to go to Cuiyi Garden to call Changle, and went to Cuibai Garden to diagnose her grandfather's peace pulse. As for the excuse, it naturally can't be that he made the old man angry, it can only be that "the old man is emotional under great joy, and I'm afraid that my body can't bear it." ”

Xu Chong arranged everything, Mei Zizi went back to her yard, and prepared to sleep with her daughter-in-law for a while. However, then ...... No then.

Xu Chong was busy entertaining the right waiter this morning, and for a while he really forgot about Chen Jiaxu and Sun's return to his hometown today. It was inconvenient for him to show up, and Chen Jiayu naturally couldn't be absent, so in the end she ...... went over with Jin Niang to see everyone off.

Xu Chong didn't find his daughter-in-law, and the resentment in his heart almost turned into substance. It's just a farewell, and it's all sent to the afternoon and haven't come back yet, is this going south with a group?

A bad feeling rose in Xu Chong's heart, which made him unable to stay in the house, so he immediately turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

The maids in the courtyard were not too surprised when they saw that the third master had just entered the house and hurried out. When they came to the conversation in the house, they faintly heard a little; Second, although it has only been a few days since they got married, the strength of their third master pestering the third lady is simply unsightly.

This designation is to see that the lady has not returned to the house, and she can't bear it anymore and wants to go out to find someone.

Xu Chong is like this, he went straight out of the second gate, and then met Changle who was walking out at the second gate, and the second brother who happened to come from outside.

Changle saluted the two of them and said, "I'm about to go over and ask my grandfather for peace." ”

Xu Chong said, "Second brother, Jiayu went to see off her brother and sister-in-law, but she hasn't come back yet." The maids said that the second sister-in-law went with them, and the second sister-in-law should be outside now. Second brother, I'll go outside to look for them, will you go? ”

Xu Erlang: "...... Let's go together. Let Changle diagnose his father's pulse first. ”

As he spoke, the three of them went to Heyan Hall, Xu Chong didn't want to go in, he had just made the old man half angry, and now people were even angrier when they saw him. I can't say that I have to hit him with a cane, and the stinky boots hit him.

"I won't go in, I'll wait for you outside. Second brother, you and Changle go over. Don't worry, the old man is in good health, and it's okay to designate. I'm just in case I let Changle take a look, but it shouldn't be okay if I don't look at it. ”

Xu Erlang glanced at him, didn't speak, and led Changle in.

As soon as the two disappeared, Xu Chong ran out. The mother-in-law guarding the door heard what they said before, didn't the third master say that he would wait for the second master, the second master only entered the door on his heels, he turned his head and ran, isn't this appropriate?

The mother-in-law shouted twice, and Xu Chong responded from afar, "I'll pick up the second and third ladies and go home." Later, the second brother comes out, you tell him and let him go back and rest directly. I promise to bring my second sister-in-law home well. ”

Xu Erlang, who was walking towards Xu's father's yard, stumbled and couldn't help but snort. This Xu Chong!

Changle turned around curiously and asked, "What's wrong, Second Uncle?" Do you suddenly remember something? ”

"Nothing. Get on in. I've checked your grandfather's pulse, so you might as well go back early for a lunch break. ”

Changle answered, and the two went in.

Father Xu didn't show a happy look when he saw his second son who went and returned. He saw Changle next to him, and naturally knew what the second child meant by coming over again.

Although I feel that this kid is poignant, he is still filial, and Father Xu barely endured it and didn't squeeze him twice.

Changle diagnosed Xu's father's pulse, but the pulse was not very good. My grandfather's joys and sorrows were too volatile, and he used cold things, and now he has some symptoms in his heart, liver, spleen and lungs. If you don't prescribe treatment now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of bed without a ten-day and a half-month rest time when I get into trouble at night.

Changle's appearance with a small face is very capable of bluffing, at least Father Xu was not lightly bluffed. He is a patient himself, and no one knows better than him what his body is doing. He felt lightheaded, weak, a pain in his chest, and a dizziness and dizziness.

This is really old, no better than when he was young, not to mention being angry with someone and getting seriously ill, then he will mix in the ecstasy cave for a few months in a row, and he will eat soup for a few days at most, and he will be a good man again.

It was like now, and people were like waste.

Changle went to open the prescription with a serious expression. Xu Erlang didn't leave, took the book and flipped through it outside.

Father Xu was uncomfortable listening to the movement outside and the ants gnawed, and he had the heart to let his son get out of here, and let him worry about it here. But I think again, this kid has a lot of humanity when he comes back from Hezhou this time, and he is not as ignorant of his own father as he was earlier.

This kid is quite filial to him now, is it because he has grown up, is he sensible, and he has begun to pay attention to human ethics?

But if he wants to be filial, does he have to be a tool and let him be filial?

Xu's father was very annoyed, and he didn't bother to give face to this son, so he asked him to leave quickly, and he couldn't sleep because he was flipping through books here. If you don't know how to honor him all day long, you know that you will cause trouble for him and be unfilial.

Xu Erlang said unhurriedly, "Later, when you finish using the medicine, my son will take Changle back together." ”

Xu's father was furious.

He just thought that his son wanted to be filial to him, but it turned out that he was all self-inflicted. That kid cares about him, but he's worried that he won't take medicine and make it difficult for Changle?

What are you doing raising a son! It's better to raise two pieces of barbecued pork!

Xu's father hadn't taken the medicine yet, and there was movement outside, it turned out that Xu Chong had received Jinniang and Chen Jiayu who had returned home.

Xu Chong was busy entertaining guests today, and he couldn't send Chen Jiayu's brother and sister-in-law, and Xu Erlang couldn't show up.

After the two of them said goodbye to Chen Jiaxu and others, it was actually very early. However, Jin Niang had already arranged things in the house before leaving the house, so she was not worried that something would go wrong.

It is rare for the two of them to go out together, so Jinniang proposed to find two shops to visit. They will soon have to leave Beijing, and they will have to buy some things in advance. Whether it is cloth silk or tea and wine, even if there are stewards who will buy it, the meaning of the hand-picked ones is different. When I turned back to the south, whether I gave it away, took it out for reward, or kept it for my own use, it was all agreeable.

Just do it, the two of them really went shopping.

The two bought dozens of pieces of cloth, and Jin Niang picked out some jewelry and jade. She has a bulging pocket, is very willing to buy things, and spends a lot of money.

Compared with her, Chen Jiayu is much more "reserved". But under the persuasion of Jin Niang, she also bought a lot. Especially the things that women use at home, Jin Niang even pouted Jiayu to prepare more.

A woman can't treat herself badly, she spends the money when she has it, otherwise the buckle and the rope may be kicked off that day, and the money saved will change hands along with the man. Therefore, if you can be stingy with anyone, you can't be with yourself.

Chen Jiayu was dizzy by Jinniang's preaching, and her head was not her own. She always felt that what her second sister-in-law said was very reasonable, but this did not conform to the ideas she had accepted since she was a child, which made her quite contradictory, so the whole person seemed very entangled.

After the two finished shopping, it was already time for dinner. Jin Niang was very hungry, and she couldn't wait to go back to the house to eat, so the two simply found a private room in the restaurant outside for a meal.

Don't say it, I don't know whether to say that there is no void under the fame, or if I eat the dishes at home all the year round, and my tongue is stiff when I eat, so that this meal is very amazing and satisfying.

After they finished using it, they slowly sipped a cup of tea before deciding to go home. I also walked not far from the mouth of the alley, and was touched by Saburo who came to pick up people.

The three of them entered the courtyard, and Changle's medicine was also decocted.

Under the attention of his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Xu's father didn't have the face to say anything about not drinking medicine, he drank all the medicinal juice in the soup bowl with a dark face, and then waved his hand in annoyance to let a few people leave his eyes quickly.

The sons are all debt collectors, and they are annoyed when they see them.

After that, the Xu family was lively for two more days, but this kind of excitement was naturally far less than the excitement when Xu Erlang was promoted to the second rank member.

But if he has the heart to please Xu Erlang, he will naturally not let his brother go. As a result, the courtyard of the Xu family became noisy again, and they came and went every day to give gifts.

Xu Chong stayed in the house for three days, and he couldn't stay. Summer is the high incidence period of Japanese invaders, the war in the south is tight, Xu Wenhao hurried back, and Xu Chong naturally did not stay long.

The day after sending Xu Chong away, Jin Niang received a post from Yunfu, saying that the osmanthus flowers in the house were blooming, and she was going to set up a banquet and invite Jin Niang to come over to enjoy the osmanthus and eat crabs.

When Jin Niang saw the invitation, she couldn't help laughing, "I've never heard of chrysanthemums and crabs, and this is the first time I've heard people say that osmanthus flowers eat crabs." ”

The one who came to send a post to Jin Niang was a grandmother who grew up serving Valin since she was a child, and she was very valued by Valin. When she heard Jinniang's words, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not the season to eat crabs, but these crabs are not wild, they are raised by Madame's in-laws." ”

Jin Niang suddenly realized, "Lord Yun's parents." "The old couple are still alive today, but they were used to running back and forth in their early years of business, and they don't like to live in one place all year round. In addition, there is also Lord Yun's grandmother in his hometown, that is, Mrs. Tai is still there. It's just that they are old and not suitable for long-distance travel, and the old people are not used to the dry climate of the capital, so Yunda's parents stayed in their hometown in order to take care of their mother.

Jin Niang is not uncommon crabs, after all, she has it on her own hot spring village. But she usually hides good things, and she rarely sends them if she is not her own, worrying about being too eye-catching and causing trouble for herself.

Mama said that crabs are still a rarity, so Madame is going to buy a banquet and invite some patience to come to the house to have fun.

Of course, this is a statement on the surface, in fact, "Madame asked the slave maid to tell you that the wife of the Shi family, the wife of the Feng family, and the wife of the Fan family all feel that they have signed a contract with you and want to talk to you at that time." ”

It's done, Jin Niang understands what it means.

Whether it is the Shi family, the Feng family or the Fan family, there are cardamom girls in the family who are in their prime, and they are waiting to be married. Especially the Feng family, the yin and yang in this family are declining, and Mrs. Feng is said to have given birth to four daughters in succession before she had a son, and she is a concubine, the second lady of the Feng family, who also gave birth to three daughters before giving birth to a belt. There are also three and four bedrooms......

There are seven or eight little girls over the age of ten in the Feng family.

There are so many little girls, where can I find my son-in-law? Not to mention, if Chang'an made peace with one of them, the Feng family would probably breathe a sigh of relief. At least one less girl to look at will reduce the pressure by a fraction of the time.

There is also the Fan family, and the girl has a pair of twins, who are also thirteen years old this year.

Jin Niang thought about it and happily responded, "Cheng, tell your wife, I will definitely go over at that time." ”

Mama Grandma was satisfied with the little heart given by Xu Mansion and returned to Yunfu, and after thinking about it, Jin Niang went to find Xu Erlang and wanted to ask him what he meant.

Chang'an is looking for a daughter-in-law, although the main meaning of the husband and wife is to be happy with each other. But at least you can't find a girl from a political opponent. There are also things that are not suitable at home, and they have to be abandoned.

She is familiar with these officials in the capital, but not to the point where everything is known. So I have to ask Xu Erlang for a scripture and let him help him with one or two.

Who knows, Xu Erlang found it successfully, but he didn't point out Jinniang, but poured a basin of cold water on Jinniang's head.

"Chang'an knows about the Wu family, and I'm afraid that my mood is not happy these days. Whether it's about seeing each other or talking about kissing, wait a little longer, and wait for him to come back and talk about it. ”

Jinniang: "......" What's going on? Why did Chang'an find out at this juncture.

"Actually, I should have found it out a long time ago. It's just that Chen Xinghai is not a mediocre and incompetent person, and there are still a few spies in the house. When the steward approached Chen's mansion, he was targeted and directly discounted his leg. ”

Jin Niang didn't expect this one, and let out an "ah" in surprise. "He's a small criminal official, and he still raises spies in the house?"

Is there something terrible in Chen's mansion, or has Chen Xinghai done something unseemly, otherwise why would he still keep an agent to keep an eye on the movements in his mansion?

Jin Niang unconsciously conspired, thinking that this Chen Xinghai, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like a big villain.

She couldn't help frowning, she didn't see the cold light in Xu Erlang's eyes.

It's really a coincidence this time, if it weren't for the recklessness of the manager, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to break this secret.

Having said that, Tonghe was ordered by him to press a few hidden piles in Chen's mansion. But maybe it's because those dark piles are in the back house, so I haven't found anything wrong with the outer courtyard so far. This time it was really a mistake. However, since it was broken, he was also interested in investigating what was hidden in the Chen Mansion, so that Chen Xinghai could keep the spy so fanfare.

Xu Erlang patted Jinniang's head, "Should I go to the banquet or go to the banquet, but Chang'an's family affairs...... Forget it, it's okay for you to go and see him in person and talk about it, just divert his attention. ”

Jin Niang resisted the urge to roll Xu Erlang's eyes.

What you said is good, but at this juncture, she just sent a beautiful woman with a red fruit over, and she couldn't divert Chang'an's attention even if she wanted to.

Strange women are more important than biological mothers, although this biological mother has nothing to do with them, but as long as they still have Wu blood in their bodies, they can't be indifferent to Wu people.
