In the battle of wits between Jinniang and Xu Chong, time passed slowly, and soon it was the wedding date of Qing'er and Ke Ke.

These days, Xu Chong has not broken through Jinniang's defense and met Chen Jiayu. He saw it, and it was a big night when he avoided everyone to steal incense and jade.

…… The last four words are pure and shattered Jing Niang's guess, but they are very different when you think about it. After all, men, it's just too normal to see a beloved woman wanting to do something.

For this reason, Jin Niang was so angry that she even thought about hinting at him a few words regardless of Xu Chong's face.

He is chic, proud, and satisfied, but when he went to see Chen Jiayu at night, you have the ability to do things seamlessly. As a result, the maid who got up in the middle of the night saw his back jumping over the wall, and the maid's face was colorless, and she avoided stabbing her the next day.

Fortunately, it was a maid who saw this, her mouth was tight and she was afraid of things, otherwise Xu Chong would have had the opportunity to go a few more times, and she wouldn't be able to save being discovered by anyone.

Although he did a lot of preparation work in advance, and the people who should have been knocked out were stunned, and his movements were very light, but there are many things in this world in case of emergency, and no one can guarantee when and where there will be a leak.

However, Jin Niang took Xu Chong's face into account, and did not tell him about it in the end. But she also specially transferred two strict maids from the outer courtyard and asked them to keep vigil for Chen Jiayu at night. Thinking that there was such a commotion operation, it was enough to make Xu Chong realize that his secret invasion of the woman's boudoir at night was exposed.

Regardless of whether Xu Chong is interested in this problem, anyway, the day of Qing'er's marriage is just around the corner, Jin Niang will run to the Lin Mansion tomorrow, in order to prevent Xu Chong from taking advantage of her absence, no one in the family can stop him, so she called Xu Chong to go to the Xu Mansion to help.

After Xu Chong heard this, his expression was quite ugly, and he twitched the corners of his mouth several times, "I'm going to help Lin Jinqing?" "Is he worthy?

It's a pity that before he could say the unfinished words, Xu Mu took the lead in speaking, "Anyway, you are idle at home, just go over and see if there is anything you can help." You and Qing'er grew up together and are like brothers. You've been back for so many days, and you've never been there, isn't that yours? Take advantage of the time you have now, hurry over, by the way, you will also go to Kefu on the day Qing'er welcomes her relatives. Your brother is not at home, so you will take Chang'an Changping to help Qing'er save face. ”

Xu Chong: ......

Why?

Why should I save face for him?

Then again, are you blind? Lin Jinqing and I did grow up together since childhood, and we are also in the room, but we are not brothers, we hate each other. Let him go to help Lin Jinqing, and follow him to greet his relatives, how cheap he is, so he can't feel comfortable in a hurry.

Xu Chong wrote "unhappy" on his face. But it is a big deal for a man to become a parent, and there are not many people in the Lin family to support the scene, so he should go over with reason. This time, even Xu's father opened his mouth and said Xu Chong, "You also go over to see what other people go through when they get married, and when you have experience, you won't panic when you marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Xu Chong was speechless again, how can I have experience? The person next to me is the groom, and I am not the groom, how can I gain experience.

Xu Chong's face was tight, and Xu's father was not happy when he saw this, he instantly lowered his face, and said with a sneer, "I don't want you to be like Qing'er, give me a daughter-in-law to come back, even if you find me a good family, or a small family, I will admit it." But you want those faceless ......."

Jin Niang's heart jumped, and while Father Xu hadn't finished speaking, she quickly interrupted him unreasonably, "Oh, dad, don't talk about it, Changle has come over, let's go to Lin Mansion." Today, only you and your mother are left in the house, you should pay attention to eating and drinking. If it's hot today, you eat more light, don't be greedy, your body is not well, don't eat some taboo things, and it's uncomfortable to turn around. ”

When Father Xu heard this, even if he was a little unhappy with Jin Niang's rash interruption of his words, it was not easy to show it. His face softened, and he finally drooped and said, "Got it." ”

Xu Chong had already taken a big step at this time, and walked out of the momentum of Tianliang Wang Po.

Father Xu sneered, and wanted to scold angrily, "Look at that unfilial son." ”

Mother Xu pretended not to hear, and hurriedly urged Jinniang, "Come over quickly." Today, the Ke family came to give the dowry, your aunt is not good at talking, and you can help a little earlier. ”

Hearing this, Jin Niang bowed and retired, and then beckoned a few children to hurry up behind their third uncle, and everyone went to Father Lin together.

Qing'er met her sister and several nieces and nephews in the house, and also saw Xu Chong, who was bitter and hateful, and her face had become much rougher.

Qing'er gave her sister a salute and sent a few small ones to her parents' yard. This is a good time to look at Xu Chong while touching his face and chuckling.

I think that when the two were still in Pingyang, Xu Chong was not like this. At that time, he was the son of a rich family, with fine skin and tender meat, and he looked quite good. On the other hand, now, where is this the big man who picks his feet?

Qing'er unconsciously said what she thought in her heart, and Xu Chong's face suddenly darkened as expected.

Qing'er said that Xu Chong was a big man who picked his feet, but in fact, he really buried Xu Chong. Xu Chong has been on the beach in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all the year round, his skin has been blown by the sun and wind, and he is indeed not very delicate, and his face is a little dark, so he doesn't look as delicate and decent as those fair-skinned and delicate sons.

But Xu Chong is not bad like this.

After all, his foundation is really good, he is Xu Erlang's younger brother, not to mention that he looks like a brother with seven or eight points, at least two or three points. Then he has a straight figure, an awe-inspiring body, wearing a black brocade suit, and looks majestic and mighty.

This is completely different from the warmth of Qing'er Qingzhu, it is a kind of male masculine beauty, but it is not popular nowadays, and it is not sought after, so it seems "cold".

Of course, if he is similar to his second brother, no matter how much he tans, he can't tan, then the world will have a different perception when they see him.

Qing'er will not judge people by their appearance, and they will not think that Xu Chong is so rough and down. After all, he has already passed the stage of youth and naivety, and he will no longer be contemptuous of military generals because of the distinction between civil and military.

But after he saw Xu Chong, he still reflexively said the words of burying him, all because the grudge he had when he was young was too great, and the two of them really didn't talk for more than half a sentence......

Qing'er felt that it was inappropriate when she said it, but if she said it, the water that was spilled out, where could it be recovered?

Don't you want to lose face again? In front of his old enemy, he has to protect his face.

Xu Chong's face darkened suddenly when he heard Qing'er's words. However, his face is already black, and it can't be said to be black, it's just tanned, anyway, whether it's blushing or black, you can't see it.

Xu Chong sneered, looked the high-spirited Qing'er up and down, and his fingers crackled, "I think you don't want to be a groom official." ”

Qing'er didn't bow her head, and went back directly, "I still have to be the groom's official, after all, the insider is about to enter the door." It's you, it's okay not to be the groom's official, after all, you look like this, and it's more difficult to find someone who likes you. ”

Xu Chong sneered directly, "Lin Jinqing, how about we go to the school field and practice?" I haven't seen you for a long time, and I also see if your body is tough or not, and whether you can get up heroically at night in the cave room. ”

Qing'er: "......" is a matter of male dignity, and this war should not be, should not be, and should not be. should be unilaterally ravaged, when the fashion is fine, it is okay on his body, but he is injured on his face, does he still have the face to marry a daughter-in-law? Xu Chong, this kid is in the dark, and at that time he will punch his face, his face will be swollen, if he goes to marry Ke Ke with a big flower face, I am afraid that he will not be driven home by his mother-in-law.

But it shouldn't,...... That also hurts my self-esteem too much.

Qing'er's mind turned and changed the topic, "You can also be brave as a martial artist, you really have the ability, you can make a poem for me." ”

Xu Chong "hehe", "I don't know how to make poems, but I still have six products, and I am one level higher than you, Tanhualang." ”

Qing'er fought back sharply, "You enlisted in the army that day, I think about it, was it the year after my sister and brother-in-law entered Beijing, or the year after?" Calculate carefully, you have been in the army for almost ten years before you climbed to the position of the sixth grade, Xu Chong, Xu Chong, how did you show off your power in front of me with a swollen face? ”

Xu Chong grinded his teeth, "You don't need to read, don't need to go through the process, and don't need to be tempered in the examination room." Could it be that Lin Jinqing is a child with great wisdom, and you can take the palace test directly with a pen? Now I only let you do a six-grade cultivation, which is really wronged by you. ”

Qing'er: "Don't dare to be." It's just that I got the ticket, and then I hope to rise step by step. ”

Xu Chong counted the two of them to achieve their current results, counting from the time they started to practice martial arts and study, but Qing'er was cunning and directly said an "admission ticket". According to him, Xu Chong's entry into the army is "entering the door", on the other hand, even if he is counted from the middle show, it has only been six years. If you are more shameless, you will compare entering the officialdom to getting an admission ticket, and you will enter him even later, less than two months......

Of course, it's too bullying to say that. Therefore, let's take it from the day I got the show and became famous.

Xu Chong has been promoted to the sixth rank in the past ten years, and he has been promoted from the sixth rank after six years of official positions, and it is not too easy to be promoted to the next level in the remaining four years. If Xu Erlang is taking care of him, it will be easy to suppress Xu Chong.

Again, although it has been easy for military generals to be promoted since ancient times, it is time for civil officials to be promoted to the top of their posts. However, Xu Chong's situation is different from that of ordinary generals. After all, where is the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Navy Division is indeed a puddle of quagmire, His Majesty urged to end the war as soon as possible, but the people who are helpless to "put a long line to catch a big fish" in order to seek greater interests, and if the Japanese are not cleaned up for a day, it will be difficult for Xu Chong's official position to be greatly transferred. So don't look at the time he spent in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang Naval Division, he has experienced a lot of battles and cut off a lot of heads. But because these wars were not brilliant, Emperor Yunwen was very stingy, and it was difficult to promote them to knighthood.

With this premise, the two of them obviously have a brighter future. Therefore, Qing'er is full of confidence, but Xu Chong is a little angry.

The two of them were arguing with each other, and they almost fought while talking. As the maid walked forward, she couldn't help but look back, "Madam, do you really care?" ”

Jin Niang pretended not to know what was going on, and pretended not to hear the conversation between the two, and said with a blank face, "They haven't seen each other for a long time, leave them some time to communicate and communicate their feelings." Now let's go see my father and aunt, and we have something to do. ”

Qingmiao is still a little worried, the smell of gunpowder between the uncle and the third master is too big. If there was no one on the scene, they would have fought. The reason why he is still choking on the lawsuit is probably because he is afraid of face.

That's right, that's it, after all, they are all officials, and it would be too embarrassing to rashly spread it out and be participated in by the imperial history.

Qingmiao pressed the worry in her heart, but she couldn't help but say in her heart: The third master's temper is really bad. It's okay to bully Miss Jiayu in the mansion, and when she comes to the Lin Mansion, she doesn't respect the master's house at all, and it's not pleasant to rush to find someone.

This is also the lady's maiden family, and the uncle and son-in-law look at the face of the lady and don't care about him in general. Otherwise, the happy day will add this kind of bad luck to people, and she will do it directly. Of course...... The premise is that she can beat the third master.

Qingmiao was sad in her heart, worried that the two would fight if they didn't say a word, why wasn't this the case with Jinniang?

Qing'er and Xu Chong looked at each other with disgust...... Jin Niang still knows about this.

But can she intervene? No, you can't.

She is the sister of Qing'er's mother, and she is the sister-in-law of Xu Chong's sister-in-law, and it is not suitable for her to help those two. One is unjust, and her reputation will be swept away.

The two children have never made a big fuss, and most of them have lost their temper, so Jin Niang only pretended not to know about the mismatch between them.

Anyway, it's quite measured, and it has to be faced. Waiting for leisure will not make things big and make everyone known.

In this case, if you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a Weng.

Jin Niang is very open to this,...... Anyway, even if someone gets hurt in the end, it won't hurt her......

Jin Niang set up a ruthless, unrighteous and vexatious character for herself, and went to the courtyard of Father Lin and Aunt Shen with leisurely steps.

The rules of marriage in Beijing and the rules of marriage in Pingyang are still different.

At least in Binh Duong, the dowry of the girl's family is brought to her husband's family on the day of marriage. In the capital, there is a saying about the dowry here, so the dowry of the girl's family is generally delivered to the husband's family three days before marriage.

There are also some large items that need to be visited in the room in advance, and wait until the day of marriage, which is convenient for the newlyweds to use.

After all, in this era, the dowry prepared by the parents who loved the girl, in addition to the title deed of the house, gold and silver jewelry, and the curiosities of Ayara, there were also stepping beds, bedside tables, dressers, buckets for children and grandchildren, screens, and other things. These things are built to the size of the new house, and many of them need to be assembled at the groom's house in order to facilitate transportation and moving into the new house.

For example, the big stepping bed is the size of a house, which can never be transported by a horse-drawn carriage, so it has to be disassembled into wooden planks and assembled by the master little by little. This work alone requires a skilled master to work all day with his little apprentice.
