Before going to Quansui to take office, Jiang Yucheng first went back to Lingjiang Town. After being away from home for more than two months, everything was normal at home, but a particularly noticeable change could be seen.

Jiang's mother is in a very good mental state, her son is harmonious after marriage, the little girl accompanies her every day, Yan Niang gave birth to a pair of grandchildren, and her smile has not faded every day when her wishes come true.

Looking at the twins again, compared with the thinness when they were born, the brothers have grown up a lot, and when the two identical little faces smiled at Jiang Yucheng, he felt that his heart was going to melt.

There is still a full, I haven't seen him for two months, the little girl has grown a little taller, and when she sees him come back, she happily threw herself into his arms. When he took out the gift he brought back from the capital, he jumped and jumped happily.

Among the family, Yan Niang shocked him the most, and when he came back and saw Yan Niang who had become thinner, he thought that he had recognized the wrong person.

It's strange to say that in the first twenty years, Yan Niang tried her best to get rid of the fat, but after giving birth to twins this time, she miraculously lost weight. Although it is not as slender and slender as a twenty-eight girl, it has the mature style of a beautiful young woman.

She wore the popular bun of women nowadays, a bean-green home-style straight-necked cardigan on the top, and a two-piece pleated skirt of the same color, and stood there looking at him with smiling eyes.

Mother Jiang summoned Mrs. Yang and Taozhi, took the three children out, and left the house to the young couple who had been separated for a long time.

"Lady." Jiang Yucheng stepped forward and took her hand and walked to the soft floor to sit down, and said softly: "Thanks to you taking care of your mother and children these days, you are tired." ”

Yan Niang shook her head, "This is what I should do, and it is the hardest thing for my husband to run around." After speaking, he touched his face and asked, "Looking thinner, aren't you used to the food in the capital?" ”

Jiang Yucheng comforted his wife and said: "It's not as comfortable as going out at home, but with a teacher, the food and accommodation are not bad, but I look a little haggard after a tiring journey." ”

Yan Niang was relieved at this time, she got up and stood facing him, plucked up the courage to ask, "Husband, am I looking good when I lose weight?" Her cheeks flushed as she said this.

Jiang Yucheng was a little surprised, the Yan Niang he knew would not be so bold and straightforward. He took a closer look again, and saw that she had lost weight, her white face was not powdered, her eyebrows were slender and picturesque, her eyes were tender like water, and under her small and straight nose bridge was a delicate lip as red as rouge.

Looking at such a good-looking face, two ancient poems suddenly appeared in Jiang Yucheng's mind: Bright as the sun rises in the morning glow, and the scorching waves come out of the Fuqu.

"It's so pretty." His gaze was unconsciously attracted by the non-self-red rouge lips, and he nodded slightly. Yan Niang's face turned even redder, she lowered her head and stared at her toes shyly, not daring to meet his eyes.

Jiang Yucheng pulled her back to the soft collapse and chuckled: "The children have given birth to two, why are they still so easy to be shy." When she wasn't paying attention, he quickly pecked her on the lips. Yan Niang was taken aback by his sudden move, and her heart was pounding.

Jiang Yucheng is not satisfied with such a touch at all, since Yan Niang is pregnant to now, the two will not have sex together for a year, although he is not a bad woman, if his wife is still in her arms, then he is not Liu Xia Hui, but is not vigorous.

Yan Niang, who was treated gently by him, suddenly lost her mind at this moment, and she remembered Wu Niangzi's words: Men can't stand the temptation, especially when they go to a prosperous place like the capital, Yan Niang, you have to be psychologically prepared, so as not to be able to bear it when you get it.

Wu Niangzi's words made her panic, and she couldn't give up for a few days. For more than 60 days in two months, she was thinking every day, what would she do if Jiang Yucheng really brought other women back?

Yan Niang is actually a person who can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes, she hates serving a husband with others from the bottom of her heart, so when Ling Jiming proposed to make peace, she agreed without any hesitation.

She had a clean break with Ling Jiming, but when she arrived at Jiang Yucheng, she couldn't make up her mind. After being married to Jiang Yucheng for more than a year, her husband is gentle and considerate, her mother-in-law is amiable, and her sister is hearty and reasonable, which is a world of difference compared to the life of the Ling family. Yan Niang doesn't want to lose this happiness of being valued, and she doesn't want to lose this hard-won home.

Jiang Yucheng also saw her inattention, stopped and asked softly, "Lady, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yan Niang actually wanted to ask if he had let other women serve him in the two months he had been away from home, but he couldn't ask anything when the words came to his lips.

Jiang Yucheng's impulse to reunite after a long absence, he held his wife's cheek, and asked again: "Lady, we are husband and wife, what do you have in your heart to tell me directly." ”

Yan Niang's gaze was fixed on his face, and her lips opened and closed, but she still couldn't open her mouth.

Jiang Yucheng gave up the idea of letting her take the initiative to inform, "That's it, I'll ask you to answer, and you must tell the truth when you answer." ”

Yan Niang nodded.

Jiang Yucheng asked, "What are you worried about is related to me?" ”

Yan Niang hummed softly.

Jiang Yucheng stared at her directly, and continued to ask: "It has something to do with the time I was in the capital?" ”

Yan Niang nodded again.

Asked this, Jiang Yucheng had doubts in his heart. He remembered that his senior brother Guo Shilang said that there are three things that women in the back house care about: first, they are young and beautiful, second, the husband and wife get along harmoniously without concubines, and third, the children are filial piety.

Yan Niang here, she has a young and beautiful appearance, her children are too young and worried too early, Jiang Yucheng thinks that he is a qualified husband, he does not accept concubines, he is not a woman, and he is wholeheartedly devoted to his wife.

What is Yan Niang worried about? Jiang Yucheng racked his brains and didn't come up with it.

Because of this, the atmosphere between the two became a little weird, and Jiang's mother was the first to find out. While Yan Niang was busy taking care of the children, she pulled her son aside and asked, "Cheng'er, did you quarrel with Yan Niang?" ”

Jiang Yucheng was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Mother, what did you say, we didn't quarrel." ”

Jiang Mu didn't believe it, "Obviously it looked good yesterday, but today it's not like that." ”

Jiang Yucheng was surprised by his mother's acuity, and couldn't help sighing: "We really didn't quarrel, it was Yan Niang who had something in her heart, and she refused to say anything when she asked her." ”

"Really?"

"Really."

After listening to her son's explanation, Jiang's mother not only did not feel relieved, but became more worried. She really likes Yan Niang, the daughter-in-law, and doesn't want anything to affect their husband and wife.

Yan Niang is a tight-mouthed person, if she doesn't want to say it, she will never say it to anyone. Mother Jiang went to find Wu Niangzi, she was good with Yan Niang, and she might be able to know some reasons.

"Oops, it's all my mouth." Wu Niangzi couldn't help but pat her forehead and blamed herself: "Years ago, the eldest young master of Su Yuanwai's family brought a concubine back from the capital, and Grandma Su was so angry that she took the child back to her parents' house. This matter is spreading, and I, as for me, I will have a few more words with Yan Niang, asking her to relax her heart and not learn from Grandma Su. ”

The eldest young master of the Su family didn't know what trouble he had caused, and he was beaten half to death and driven out of the capital, and his concubine took a lot of effort to send him back. I thought that I could stay in the Su family and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but who knew that Grandma Su was too temperamental, not only sold the concubine's room, but also took the child back to her parents' house.

Hearing this, Jiang's mother also understood, it turned out that Yan Niang was worried about her son's concubine. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but complain about the black lady, who knew that she was at a loss, and kept apologizing to her.

After returning home, Jiang's mother told her son the news she had learned from Wu Niangzi, Jiang Yucheng couldn't laugh when she heard it, it turned out that Yan Niang refused to say this thing.

Before going to bed, he pulled Yan Niang, who was making the bed, aside and sat down, sighed and said, "Lady, how much you don't trust your husband, so you will think that I will have other women one day." ”

He put her hand in his palm and promised as if he had sworn it, "Don't worry, there will be no other woman." He looked at her with a serious face, "I know very well what I want, concubines are the root of the chaos, and for me, it is enough to have a wife in my back house." ”

Time seemed to freeze, Yan Niang clearly heard her heartbeat, she looked at him blankly, not knowing how to respond.

After a long time, she slowly asked him: "What does the husband mean, will he not take concubines in the future?" ”

Jiang Yucheng nodded, "Yes, don't take concubines, and don't have sex, just you." ”

Listening to his assurance, Yan Niang should be ecstatic, but her eyes were red, and the suspicion and depression of the past two months all turned into tears.

Jiang Yucheng was a little helpless, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Don't cry, what I said is true." ”

Yan Niang nodded with tears in her eyes, "Well, I believe in the husband." ”

"Don't think cranky in the future, otherwise my mother will worry about me bullying you again." He smiled and said again. Yan Niang was stunned and said, "My mother also knows? ”

Jiang Yucheng smiled, and there was self-evident in that smile. Yan Niang's face flushed, and she buried her head in embarrassment, wishing that there was a hole in the ground where she could hide.

The husband and wife, who had lifted the estrangement, had a very wonderful night, and when they got up the next day, Jiang Yucheng, who had always been self-disciplined, couldn't help but pull Yan Niang to mess around again.

When eating the morning food, Jiang Yucheng told his mother and wife about going to Quansui to work, Yan Niang and Jiang's mother didn't know where Wansui was, but they felt a little familiar.

At this time, Taozhi came in from outside, and Jiang's mother saw her eyes light up, "Ouch, look at my memory, isn't Taozhi's hometown doing its best, I said how did I hear of this place." ”

After speaking, he called Taozhi over: "I remember you said that you came from Quansui, how is that place?" ”

Taozhi's face suddenly turned pale, and he stood there motionless, as if he had been drained of three souls and seven spirits. Seeing this, Jiang Mu hurriedly asked, "Taozhi, what's wrong with you?" ”

shouted several times before Momozhi reacted. "Old lady, the slave is fine, the slave and the maid heard the old lady mention her hometown and remembered some of the past."

Mother Jiang smiled and said: "Your family is going to be an official in Quansui, you can tell me and my wife about the customs and customs of that place." ”

Momozhi raised her head suddenly, "Old lady, you said that the adults are going to do their best to be an official?" ”

Jiang Mu nodded.

Taozhi suddenly knelt down, "Old lady, madam, you can't go away." There are many Yi people in that place, and the Han people have always been at odds, and many people die in the arms fight with the Yi people every year, and the slave's father and mother die at the hands of the Yi people. After the death of the father and mother, the slave and maid had no support, and was sold to Ya Po by the second uncle of the slave and maid, and came to Yucheng County, where she was bought by the adult to serve the old lady. ”
