322 - saw-billed gourd, not to be known
For the day when his daughter returned to the door, Malhan seemed to be more concerned than his wife, and he had to ask a thing or two about everything, and if there was a slight disagreement with him, he would have to "point" a few words, and the chickens and dogs in the house that was originally still in an orderly manner would jump, and the people would dare not speak out.
It wasn't until at last that Mrs. Marhan stepped forward and drove the old man into the study, which gave everyone a chance to breathe and tidy up.
This naturally caused Marhan to be so unhappy, and when Niansheng and Yinxiang entered the door, they didn't wait for both sides to salute, and then complained repeatedly. "In the end, it is the mother-in-law who loves her son-in-law, in order to welcome Lord Belle, the old man is only busy with the little girl's return to the door, but the old man doesn't even have the slightest room to interject." After Malhan finished speaking, he didn't forget to glance at the lady who had just sat down beside him.
Nian Sheng shook his head vigorously and covered his mouth with a snicker.
There was a moment of embarrassment on Lady Marchan's face, and she hurriedly explained to Yinxiang, who was obviously a little overwhelmed. "Don't be surprised, Lord Belle, this old man has been getting older and more disagreeable lately, and he doesn't know it when he says something funny all day long."
Yinxiang was familiar with the eight-faced and delicate Marhan in the court on weekdays, and was shocked to see his description, and after listening to Mrs. Marhan's words, he became more and more ignorant of how to react, so he had to look at the thoughts around him and ask for help from his own Fujin.
Nian Sheng looked at Yinxiang embarrassed, but he was not in a hurry to solve the siege, but followed him Ama to tease his mouth, "Amma's words are a little unreasonable, isn't it that you returned to the door with my mother, and your grandfather's family didn't treat you as a new son-in-law well, so now you have to eat my mother-in-law's vinegar to find something to make up for yourself?" ”
Yinxiang was originally waiting for Nian Sheng to relieve herself, but who knew that she would also mess around, and she couldn't help but become more and more embarrassed.
Marhan really didn't treat his son-in-law as an elder brother at the moment, so he grabbed Yinxiang's arm with one hand without thinking about it, and pointed to him with one hand and said to him: "Look at it, look at it!" This is the good fortune you picked? How dare you talk back to your elders? How do you discipline yourself? ”
Yinxiang rolled his eyes after hearing this, turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and replied, "Son-in-law, I have been married to your daughter for less than ten days, so I want to talk about discipline...... This is still a disaster for your father-in-law, right? ”
As soon as Yinxiang's words came out, there was silence at first, and then a deafening laugh erupted.
Marhan couldn't straighten up with a smile, and slapped Yinxiang on the shoulder, "Virtuous son-in-law, you are reasonable!" It's true that the old man didn't discipline his daughter well, so ah......"
Yinxiang saw that Marhan signaled that he was attached to the ear, so he poked his head over.
Malhan actually stretched out his hand and slapped the back of Ah Ge's head, "So! The old man just found her such a good son-in-law as you, and in the future, her little scourge will be a trouble for your family. But the old man has something to say first, if you dare to bully her, the old man will go to the Qianqing Palace with you, and he will definitely ask his daughter for an explanation. ”
Seeing that Yinxiang was still at a loss, Malhan finally recovered a little bit of his usual appearance, slightly restrained his smile and gently patted Yinxiang's shoulder, "The pearl of the old man's palm will be completely entrusted to the thirteenth elder brother." Niansheng has been spoiled by the old man and her mother since she was a child, and it is inevitable that she will be arrogant and willful. If the thirteenth elder brother is annoyed with her in the future, please see that the old man's thin face is more tolerant. As he spoke, he withdrew his hand and bowed to Yinxiang, "If she really has anything wrong, please teach her more, and don't return." The old man and the clumsy Jing are going west in the day, and they must be grateful for the thirteen elder brothers. ”
"Don't return" is from the famous article "Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao" in the "Warring States Policy", which says that during the Warring States Period, the Qin State took advantage of the opportunity of the alternation of power in the Zhao State to attack Zhao on a large scale and occupied three cities of the Zhao State. The situation of Zhao was critical, and he asked for help from Qi. Qi must have Zhao Weihou's youngest son Chang'an Jun as a hostage before he was willing to send troops. Zhao Wei doted on Chang'anjun and insisted on refusing. Zuo Shi touched the dragon to persuade the Queen Mother, during which he mentioned that the Queen Mother's beloved daughter Chang'an Jun married the Queen of Yan as the queen, and every time she prayed for the sacrifice, the Queen Mother must pray for the Queen Mother: Don't let her come back.
Marhan's words were extremely sincere, but on the good days when his daughter returned to the door, he coldly threw out such remarks, coupled with the previous jokes, the contrast between the front and back was so great that people were inevitably stunned.
Yinxiang groaned slightly, it must be known that the daughters of ancient princes married far away from other countries, and only when they were abolished or died could they return to their own countries. When Malhan said this at this time, he really loved his daughter.
"Father-in-law is serious." Yinxiang also straightened his face and helped up Marhan who was saluting. "The love of parents for their children is far-reaching. Your mind to Niansheng, Yinxiang already knows. Please rest assured that the father-in-law asked for Ling Yan out of his own heart that day, and now he is seeking benevolence and benevolence, and he should cherish it even more. The worries of the ancients are not to be worried about today. Marl is famous in Chinese, and Yinxiang responds with words and phrases in the original text.
Seeing that Marhan still seemed to be uneasy, Yinxiang simply stretched out his hand, intending to swear by the sky, wanting to give Malhan a reassuring pill.
Even if Marhan pretends to be crazy and stupid, he is still an old man who has been up and down in the sea for many years, and he can't help but stop Yinxiang, "Since that's the case, why swear it?" Just keep it in your heart. ”
Between the seemingly calm words of Weng and his son-in-law, they have secretly reached a tacit understanding that cannot be known to outsiders.
"You two sons-in-law are good for a while, and bad for a while, but people can't understand it." Mrs. Marhan grumbled with a well-timed smile and drove them away. "Go farther away, don't follow along. Delay our ladies to speak considerately. After finishing speaking, he took Niansheng's hand and went to the back house.
Niansheng followed his mother's footsteps, and when he saw Yinxiang looking at him, he also smiled and waved his hand at him, "Master should follow my Ama to the study to see tea, since the concubine is back to the door, she has to walk around the back for a while." Please also watch the hour, if the concubine forgets, you can also call someone to the back to say hello. ”
Marhan happily took Yinxiang's hand, but said to his daughter, "You just have to go, there is still an old man in everything, and you won't mess up the rules." After speaking, he didn't wait for the two of them to speak again, so he pulled Yinxiang and walked to his study. Virtuous son-in-law, go with the old man. They just sent some good tea leaves, saying that it was the best Wuyi rock tea, and the old man didn't know much about tea, so he just asked the thirteenth elder brother to help taste it. ”
Yinxiang didn't doubt that he had him, so he just smiled and followed.
Weng and his son-in-law walked all the way to the corridor to Marhan's study, and even the housekeeper at home couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, it was rare for his master and the young master to be so close and kind.
Unfortunately, this scene did not last long.
Malhan and Yinxiang sat down in the study. When the servant brought tea, he was sent out by Malhan and instructed, "Go farther, and I didn't tell you not to come and serve." ”
As the servant withdrew, the door to the study door was gently closed from the outside, and Malhan's face gradually became gloomy.
Yinxiang looked at his father-in-law, who was still kind to him just now, and was staring at himself up and down, as if he was going to bite off a piece of meat from himself, he couldn't help but sit upright, and asked tentatively with a slight smile, "Father-in-law, are you okay?" ”
Malhan snorted coldly from his nose, which was considered a promise, but he didn't speak, still just staring at Yinxiang.
Although Yinxiang didn't know why, he was always calm, and seeing that Marhan refused to say it clearly, he reached out and picked up the covered bowl on the high table next to him, and took a sip seriously, and it was really a good tea, "Father-in-law's tea here is indeed good, Wuyi rock tea can have such a good product, and it really lives up to the reputation of famous tea." Look at its ......"
"There is no one else here, and Brother doesn't have to do these superficial tasks with the old man anymore." Malhan pushed away the teacup in his hand, and his tone became cold. "How long are you going to hide it from the old man?"
"Father-in-law, where did you start with this?" Yinxiang made the second monk who asked Marhan puzzled, he really couldn't think of what he was hiding from Marhan, and he could provoke him so angry.
Marhan only thought that Yinxiang was pretending to be confused with himself, and his anger grew bigger and bigger. "Thirteenth elder brother, today is a good day for the old man's daughter to return home. When she saw the sound of Nian in front of her just now, she shouldn't have known anything. The old man also deliberately saved face for you. If you continue to quibble like this, don't blame the old man for offending. ”
Listening to his words, it was not like he was bluffing himself, and Yinxiang also became serious. He arched his hand at Marhan, "The son-in-law really doesn't know what the father-in-law said, but since you have already called me to the study alone, it is better to have something to say and ask something." The son-in-law must know everything, and he must have said everything. ”
"What's going on with the Guerjia mother and daughter?" Malhan stared at Yinxiang intently and asked this question that had been suppressed for a long time.
Yin Xiang couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this, he couldn't imagine how such a thing that could be regarded as a secret of the palace could reach Marhan's ears.
Looking at Yinxiang's reaction, Malhan was sure that the news he had learned was true. "If people don't know what to do unless they do, do the thirteenth elder brother really think that there is an impermeable wall in this world? Everyone knows that I, Marhan, is the leader of the word, and many people wonder how the old man could marry his favorite daughter to an elder brother who has no mother's power at all. But you and I, even the emperor. Malhan said and arched his hand in the direction of the palace, "I know that it is precisely because of the love for their children that the royal family and the Zhaojia family chose such a marriage." ”
Marhan smiled bitterly as he spoke, "It's just that the old man didn't calculate it even after a thousand calculations, your thirteenth elder brother is actually a gourd with a sawed mouth, and he can hide things so much in his stomach!" ”
