Xu Erlang set up the Xu Mansion that night, which was the first time that Jin Niang saw him since that day.
She thought that Xu Erlang wouldn't be able to come back today, but who knew that as soon as the news was sent, he would come back that night. What does this mean? It means that he is not as busy as he appears.
When Jin Niang was waiting for Xu Erlang to take a bath, she was chattering beside her, "I think you don't want me, otherwise you can delay until now." "Wives and daughters are really not as important as nephews and sons! As soon as the nephew and son come back, the father can take the time to come back and take a look. It's okay for wives and daughters, anyway, they just stay there, they won't run, they can be seen sooner or later, it's not uncommon at all. "What kind of life do I have, I worry about others at home all day long, but people don't mean me at all. Just ask me if this yellow-faced woman is sad? I haven't looked like I'm going to be forgotten yet, and my life is too bitter. ”
Jin Niang sang and played, and after a while, she raised her arm to wipe her eyes, and wiped her tears. Xu Erlang sat in the bathtub and watched her perform, and his lips trembled when he was amused by Jinniang.
He smiled and beckoned to Jinniang, "Come here, I'll let you see if I want you." ”
Jin Niang's body shook, feeling that Xu Erlang was about to open her yellow mouth, she hurriedly said, "Then don't use it, it's serious for you to take a bath first." ”
"That's not going to work." Xu Erlang said righteously, "You are the wife of our family, if I don't appease you, I'm afraid that my backyard will catch fire." ”
Jin Niang stared at Xu Erlang and raised her eyebrows to let him look outside. Dog man, you can make a face, your daughters, nephews, nieces and nieces, but they are all waiting for you in the flower hall.
Xu Erlang didn't care at all, and stretched out his arm and pulled Jin Niang over. Jin Niang said "ah", Xu Erlang bit her ear and laughed, "You can be quiet, otherwise you will be deducted by those little ones as old and disrespectful." ”
Jin Niang patted Xu Erlang anxiously, this person is really ruthless, isn't he, at this time he is still thinking about nonsense, so anxious?
As it turned out, it was quite urgent.
Afterwards, Jin Niang followed Xu Erlang out of the bathroom with a sullen laugh, Xu Erlang's footsteps stopped, Jin Niang was defenseless, knocked on his back, and suddenly covered his nose in pain, feeling like he was going to have a nosebleed.
"Why are you so bad, if you want to stop and don't say a word to me, look at me, my nose bone is going to break."
"That's what you brought on yourself, too."
Jin Niang heard his gorgeous depression, and couldn't help but laugh again. She poked Xu Erlang's arm and told him to hurry up and move forward, not to get in the way here. But she couldn't stop laughing in her heart, the old man hurt her self-esteem, but she didn't laugh at him. She just remembered his expression at that time, and thought it was just coke.
"You don't want to sleep tonight?"
Jin Niang didn't dare to laugh anymore, this stinky man had already retaliated back just now, and he threatened her at this time. But who made her not provoke him, couldn't she stop laughing?
After the two went out, they rubbed in the house for a while, and only when their hair was dry did they go to the flower hall.
At this time, there were only a few people left in Chang'an in the flower hall, but Chen Jiayu was not there. After Jin Niang asked, she found out that it was San Lang who came back when they went to bathe, so she took Chen Jiayu to their yard.
Come on, I should have gone to wash up.
However, if it is not early today, it is dark, and it is past the usual point of eating, and if it is delayed, several children are afraid that they will be hungry.
Jin Niang asked Qinghe to go to Chen Jiayu's yard to see how long it would take to come. In fact, there is another mention in it - Jiayu is almost six months old, and she is afraid that San Lang will mess around and hurt the child again.
This is the first child of the two, and there is no older grandmother around them to worry about, and the two of them, one Xu Chong is a big man who doesn't understand this, and the other Chen Jiayu has no mother around to teach, so she can only worry more.
When Jin Niang muttered this, she was also secretly making a decision in her heart. Whether it is to ask San Lang to find a grandmother, or whether she will arrange the candidates, in short, she must add two old people to Jiayu's side as soon as possible. She is getting older and older this month, and Xu Erlang can't keep Minzhou all the time, and the couple will have to leave sooner or later. She can't take care of Jiayu all the time, so it is very necessary to arrange an experienced grandmother for Jiayu.
When Jin Niang thought so, Qing He had already hurried back with the little maid.
"The third master said that it will take a while for him to come over. Let the old lady and a few sons and girls eat first, and you don't have to wait for them. ”
If you don't wait, don't wait, if you wait any longer, Changqi will really cry.
Jin Niang asked the kitchen to send the food left aside directly to Chen Jiayu's yard. They didn't wait for the two of them, and they ate it directly.
There was no food at the dinner table, Xu Erlang first asked Changzhou and Changhui, Chang'an and Brother Rong responded that they were all handed over to the grandfather of the Song family, and the old man took care of them, and the two of them were monkeys, and they couldn't jump into the sky.
The corners of Xu Erlang's mouth twitched, and he seemed to think of the temperament of his two sons, and couldn't help but rub his temples lightly.
"Where did you get the news of Minzhou?"
Chang'an and Song Yuan glanced at each other, and the two of them told them what Song Mingqian had told them about this. Xu Erlang bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and didn't say anything more. But after taking a few small ones to the study after dinner, Xu Erlang inevitably read, "Impulsive." ”
Chang'an was stunned, "My nephew also knows that he is impulsive, but he just comes to take a look, and he is always uneasy." ”
Brother Rong also said, "Dad, don't blame us, you and your mother are the child's closest relatives, and when you think of your dangerous situation, the child will be restless day and night." ”
Song Yu'an didn't say anything, but Xu Erlang asked him, "The two of them are messing around, why did you come with you?" ”
Chang'an and Brother Rong squeezed their eyes, and both of them showed a look of watching a good show in their eyes. Yu'an dared to expose his thoughts about Xiao Yu'er in front of them because they were peers, and their likes and dislikes and opinions on this matter would not affect Xiao Yu'er. But the second uncle is Xiao Yu'er's father, and the second uncle disagrees, no matter how much Yu'an plans and calculations he has, he will become a bubble in the water.
I don't believe that he dares to expose Xiao Xiangxiao'er in front of his second uncle/father.
Song Yu'an really didn't dare.
He was confused by Xu Erlang's question, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
He would have liked to tell his heart, but if he were a father, and someone wanted to marry his cardamom daughter, he would have been furious, and he would have driven them out.
Uncle Shi's doting on Xiao Yuer is visible to the naked eye, and he has heard several people in Chang'an say that Uncle Shi once said that several daughters in the family will not marry far away. Therefore, even if he wanted to show his intentions, Song Yuan began to retreat at this time.
It's better later, when he is stable enough and has more capital to make Uncle Shi credible, then when he mentions the matter of asking for marriage, I think Uncle Shi will not directly refuse, but will consider it as appropriate.
Now he asks to marry Xiao Yu'er, but he is not qualified enough.
Thinking of this, Song Yu'an calmed down his chaotic heartbeat and replied slowly, "Father is worried about the situation of you and your aunt, so he sent Yu'an to visit." Grandfather also said that if there is the latest trend of the imperial court here, let Yu'an Haosheng collect it and bring it back to Qizhou. It may not be the next spring or palace examination, these are the questions to be listed on the examination paper. ”
Xu Erlang's eyes were raised, and he didn't break Song Yuan'an's words.
He knew what was going on in his heart. However, Song Yu'an is good now, but it has not yet allowed him to trust his daughter with him with confidence. Fortunately, this kid has self-knowledge and didn't pick on this matter, otherwise he would have been a villain and break his thoughts.
When a few people were talking, Xu Chong also came over.
A few boys hurriedly saluted him, and Xu Chong waved his hand, "All up, all up." He sat on a large chair carved by Nanmu, Erlang's legs were raised high, and he hummed two nursery rhymes or something in his mouth, in short, the whole person was full of the breath of a hanger.
The three of them in Chang'an didn't dare to say anything, and hung their heads and pretended not to see the third uncle's rudeness. Xu Erlang frowned, and called coldly, "San Lang." ”
Xu Chong let out a "sigh", and then realized what his brother meant by shouting him, so he could only put his legs down. His movements were cautious, as if he was afraid of his second brother, but his mouth was not like that at all. Didn't you hear him muttering "poor and exquisite"? This room is full of people who have practiced martial arts, who is smarter than whom, especially Xu Erlang, can hear some movements clearly from afar, and Xu Chong's muttering doesn't want to escape his ears.
So, I asked the third uncle what he wanted to do?
Chang'an and Brother Rong looked at the third uncle indescribably, if it was their brother, they could blow his head off. But who let this not be an equal, this is an elder who is not stingy. So what can they do, they can only bear it!
However, none of their peers has Xu Sanlang, but their peers have a Xu Shilang named Xu Changzhou, and after that, they are designated as something that is not inferior to their third uncle, and they are now beginning to feel sorry for themselves who will jump frequently in the future.
Chang'an and Brother Rong'er's faces were colorful, and Song Yu'an tightened his faces throughout the whole process. He also wanted to show that he couldn't cry or laugh, but he was not the nephew of the Xu family, he was the son-in-law of the Xu family in the future, and the son-in-law was always more confident, so he still kept silent is gold.
After Xu Chong came over, regardless of the presence of several nephews, he talked to his second brother about the current movements in the Minzhou Navy.
Zhao Meng was ambushed, several of Zhao Meng's fierce generals, and even some of the rest of his henchmen, all of whom were folded in this turmoil.
Among the sailor generals who are still alive today, there are three highest-ranking generals, and these three people are all from the third grade. Two of them had followed Xu Erlang to defend the West City Gate, and made great efforts to exterminate and subdue the soldiers left behind after Zhao Meng's death. Another person had previously guarded the camp of the Navy Division with Xu Chong and the rest of the four generals, and they all made a lot of contributions when the Japanese invaded. Although they did not wipe out the Japanese bandits, they killed 50,000 enemies, and now they are sharpening their knives to kill the Japanese lairs, and they will also make a lot of achievements after they come.
So, here's the problem, when the dragons have no leader, everyone wants to be on the throne, but there can only be one person on top, who will be the admiral of the sailor, it is a difficult question to choose.
Those three generals used to be inconspicuous figures, but now that they are visible, they also want to fight. So these days, I have shown favor to the generals everywhere in the sailors, and quietly attracted people, thinking that the carp would jump over the dragon gate, so that he could become the commander of the second-grade sailor.
Xu Erlang said unashamedly, "This is also because my previous official position was too low, and I was only in the fifth grade, even if I wanted to be promoted at this time, I would be promoted to the third grade." Zhengerpin is very far away from me, and I can't touch the threshold in the past few years. ”
These are the truths.
Before he was not a fifth-grade official, but a fourth-grade official, or from the third grade, he dared to stretch out his wolf claws to the position of admiral of the sailor. After all, his merits are not inferior, and he has a big backer behind him, that is, his own brother. Both are occupied, and if he dares not to give him the position of Admiral of the Navy, he will dare to blow up the camp of the Sailor Division.
But it's not interesting to say this now, after all, he was a positive five-grade earlier, and he still became a pro-talent official, and it has been more than five months since now. If he is directly promoted to the second rank at this time, he will have it, and then the second brother will not have to do anything, just the impeachment of his cronyism by the imperial history will annoy the second brother to run to the capital to cripple those people.
But just let him look at the position of the admiral like this, and it fell on the generals of his own battalion, Xu Chong felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
He said, "Those three people are not bad, but to be honest, not only in terms of military strategy, but also courage and boldness, as well as the degree of decisiveness in doing things, including foresight, they are still slightly inferior to Zhao Meng." The old road has a soft temperament, and he is not a man who can control it; Lao Li has no opinions, what others say is what, the water master really fell into his hands, and there was a commotion after that; And Lao Fang, when he was suppressed before, I didn't see that this person was a great joy, but this time I saw it. Good guy, don't you just put away Zhao Meng's remnants of the defeated generals, but it makes him angry, and I look at the braggings in the camp. If it weren't for the fact that we still have to use troops against the Japanese now, everyone is busy practicing and arranging troops, otherwise I think the old party would like to set up a few tables to celebrate. ”
