In the evening, Xiao Han entered the inner courtyard, changed his clothes, and asked about Jiang Yuanchen's visit to the house today, Xin Yao didn't want to say more, so she found a reason to prevaricate.

Xiao Han frowned, lowered his head and looked at Xin Yao's face closely, and said with a smile: "I forgot that there is still an official document in the study that I haven't read, you rest first, I'll come when I go." ”

After that, without waiting for Xin Yao to answer, he put on a robe and went to the outer courtyard.

Jiang Xinyao looked at the man's back, felt a little weird, and it was not easy to chase and ask, so she went with him, and took the light floc and Wutong to the clean room.

Xiao Han went to the study with his front foot, and asked Guiming to secretly find Li's mother with his back foot.

Mother Li was holding back her belly today, and when she saw her uncle asking, she didn't say a word, and poured it clean like beans in the balabala bamboo tube.

The more Xiao Han listened, the more ugly his face became.

Mother Li secretly raised her eyes to look at her uncle, and when she saw that his face was unhappy, she was so frightened that she quickly stopped her voice and stood aside with her head down and her hands down.

Xiao Han restrained his expression, explained a few words to Li's mother, and after beating the person away, he sat at the desk and meditated for a long time before getting up and going back to the inner room.

……

Xin Yao took the book and sat on the couch and turned a few pages, and when she saw the man going and returning, she hurriedly got up to meet him and helped him take off his coat.

Xiao Han shook Xin Yao's hand and said with a smile: "Go to the bed and cover it, be careful if you catch a cold." ”

Xin Yao said angrily: "How can I be as weak as you say, today I boiled some He Wu wolfberry black chicken soup in the kitchen, it tastes good, I asked someone to keep some for you, do you want to drink a bowl?" ”

Xiao Han said with a smile: "Since you entered the door, those soups, the water continues day by day, and if I eat it again, I will become fat." Serve me a bowl quickly, and I'll wash it first, and then drink it when I come out. ”

The man turned around and went into the clean room, and came out after a while, just as he happened to come in with a tray in the clouds.

Xiao Han said: "Grandma has taken all the medicine today?" ”

Weiyun smiled: "Uncle Hui." I've eaten them all. ”

Xiao Han nodded with satisfaction, a bowl of hot soup was in his stomach, refreshed, and turned around to rinse his mouth. and drove them out.

The husband and wife got into bed, and Xiao Han familiarly put his hand on Xin Yao's little belly, rubbing it gently, and gossiping.

Just when Xin Yao was drowsy, she heard Xiao Han say: "In two days, your uncle and aunt will leave Beijing, let's take the time to send them off." ”

Xin Yao said casually: "No need, I asked Mother Li to go back and send some things today, their boat early in the morning." You rush back and forth, for fear of missing the time to go to the yamen. ”

"Oh, I heard that your two girls are going back to the south with the boat?"

Jiang Xinyao suddenly opened her eyes, her mind turned quickly, and she said in a muffled voice for a while: "Mother Li told you?" ”

Xiao Han slowly turned Xin Yao over. Looking directly into her eyes, she whispered, "I forced her, don't blame her." What is there in the future, there is no need to hide it from me, you and I are husband and wife, what can't you say? I will not hide anything from you. It's all with you. ”

Xin Yao laughed dryly twice and said, "What is there to say?" It's just an irrelevant person. ”

"You also say that it is an irrelevant person, so you don't have to take such a thing to heart. A subordinate who doesn't know what to do, how can you hide it for her? You look cold, but you're actually softer than anyone else. But the object of this soft-hearted heart will also divide people. Some people are white-eyed wolves who are born unfed. ”

After that, he stroked Xin Yao's slightly frowning brow with his hand.

Xin Yao's brows furrowed slightly.

"People are born poor and rich. The poor sell their sons and daughters to bury their stomachs, and the rich fight for power and profit. Each has its own body and cannot help itself. I thought that these girls were all from a hard background, and they had been with me for ten years, and they always wanted to find a future for them, and they would not serve me in vain, so they were not soft-hearted towards them, who knows...... Hey, the good thing is that those are all good. You don't have to persuade me, why don't you be like this when it comes to the Qiu family. ”

Xiao Han frowned and nodded, and said, "There is some truth in what you say. ”

Xin Yao smiled: "It's not a little reasonable, it's very reasonable." People's hearts will change, and if you have steamed buns, you want broth; If you have broth, you want good wine; If you have wine and meat, you want a wife; has a wife and a beautiful concubine. If these righteous and bright things come by, if they are used too much, the gods will hate them. To put it bluntly, this thing, just like my monthly expenses in the house, pay once, one less, at most for a month, sooner or later, it will bottom out! ”

Xiao Han was greatly touched when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What you say, you really should let those self-righteous civil and military officials in the court listen to it, and they can be ashamed to death with shame." Don't worry, if one day, the second brother really sits in that position, I have only one share with him, that is, he is the king, and I am just a minister. ”

Xin Yao clenched her fists, gestured to the man, and said hatefully: "I'm talking about our family affairs, what does it have to do with the court and your second brother?" ”

Xiao Han grabbed the fist, bit it gently, and said, "Okay, it's okay, I'll be wrong, if you think like this, I'm relieved." I said that my daughter-in-law is a smart person, how can she be depressed for a backless maid. Whether this person stays or kills, just a word from you, I have a lot of ways to make people unable to open their mouths! ”

Xin Yao said in her heart, this guy is a dog, why do you like to bite me so much.

She said angrily: "It's a human life, let's keep it for now, to see the aftermath!" When she really sells me, you will stand up for me. ”

"Order", Xiao Han roared, and the faint clouds of the night outside, Wutong were so frightened that he hurriedly replied: "What does the uncle want?" ”

Xin Yao's head shrank and she laughed and trembled in the quilt.

Xiao Han coughed lightly and said, "It's okay, let's rest", he turned off the light with one palm, fished Xin Yao up from the quilt, and kissed her on the lips.

After a while, he let go of the person and said depressedly: "Sleep!" ”

Xin Yao naturally felt the changes under the man, and her heart was still safe, so she didn't have to wipe the gun, so she hurriedly put away her voice and fell asleep quietly.

After a long time, when the woman's shallow breathing gradually stabilized, Xiao Han slowly opened her eyes.

……

Early in the morning three days later, the Jiang family's big house left Beijing by boat, and everyone in the second room of the Jiang family saw that the boat sailed out for several miles, so they went home, and Fangxin went with the boat.

On the same day, Jiang Yuanhang had just tasted the taste of green moss, and he couldn't help but be a little fresh, so he begged the old lady after smashing the taste.

The old lady was rubbed by her grandson, and saw that the time was almost up. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

That night, Bi Moss, who was locked up in the firewood room for three days and three nights, was moved to the second master's courtyard in the west courtyard and became a rough maid in the second master's study.

Such a way of covering her ears and stealing the bell made the second grandmother Wu Yifang's heart sour, and she called people to her. I knelt for a long time and beat a few more words before I let the moss go down.

On this day again, Xiao Zhong picked up Miss Biao from Du's house. On the way back, he looked at the two carriages and wondered how to deal with his grandmother.

……

Xin Yao calculated the time, changed into a red background printed white plum blossom cross-collared narrow-sleeved placket, wearing a jade carved phoenix hairpin, with a slight cloud, and the two of them went to the old lady of the West Courtyard.

Xiao Ting was already carrying a hand behind his back in the courtyard. Walked back and forth a few times. Seeing her coming, he hurriedly took a step, entered the inner hall, and let people serve tea.

Xin Yao drank half a cup of tea with the old lady, and heard a girl shouting outside: "Miss Cousin is here!" ”

Xiao Ting was just about to get up. Seeing Xin Yao sitting steadily on the chair, she pretended to get up and shake her clothes, and sat down again.

Xin Yao saw it clearly, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, I'll go to meet her." ”

Xiao Tingxi said: "Go, go!" ”

Xin Yao had just walked out of the house, but she saw Xiao Zhong walking up to her with a bitter face. The two women with red and green makeup, and seven or eight girls are the two girls of the Du family, Du Tianwei and Du Tianying.

Xin Yao was puzzled in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Xiao again.

Xiao Zhong looked aggrieved. called: "Big grandma", and then he didn't say anything again.

Xin Yao nodded slightly, signaling that he was fine, then greeted him with a smile, took the hand of the woman in red and said, "I can be regarded as looking forward to my sister." Uncle, how is my aunt doing? ”

Du Tianwei said with an embarrassed face: "Cousin-in-law, I ......"

Xin Yao patted her hand and said angrily: "Sister, you don't need to say much, grandfather has been waiting for a long time, if you don't go in again, grandfather will be eager to wear it!" ”

Du Tianwei's heart warmed, she lifted the corner of her skirt, squeezed her eyes towards Xin Yao, and walked inside.

Xin Yao turned around at this time, said "Huh", and said with a busy smile: "What kind of wind blew Sister Tianying here, but it is a rare guest, please come in!" ”

Du Tianying wore a water-green hop jacket today, with some fat powder on her face, which made her look as light as a chrysanthemum, but she was too thin and looked a little thin.

This "huh" fully expressed Xin Yao's sense of surprise and incomprehension.

Du Tianying's face was as usual, and she said with a smile: "My sister came uninvited, I don't know if my cousin-in-law is welcome or not!" ”

Xin Yao glanced at her with a smile and said, "They are all relatives, what do you say about welcome or not, my sister is outside, please come in!" ”

By the way, you're all here, so it's hard for me to drive you away.

Du Tianying smiled: "So nagging! ”

Xin Yao looked at Du Tianying's thin back, turned her face and raised her eyebrows to look at Xiao Chong.

Xiao Zhong understood, took two steps forward, and whispered a few words in the ear of the eldest grandmother.

Xin Yao raised her eyebrows, called a little girl in the old lady's courtyard, explained a few words, and entered the house.

In the house, Du Tianying was respectfully kowtowing to the old lady.

Xiao Ting looked at the woman on the ground silently, there was not much joy on his face, but he said: "Good boy, it's hard for you to still think about me, an old man, so you have to come and kowtow." It's like Tianxiang, Tianfei, Tianwei, they have to be invited three or four times before they are willing to show up. Grandma, your cousin is the most quiet, go back and find a clean yard, decorate it more elegantly, send more girls and mothers-in-law to wait, don't be slow. ”

Xin Yao listened to the old lady's words, forced a smile, and said, "Grandfather, granddaughter-in-law knows!" ”

Du Tianwei said: "I heard that my grandfather has planted a few new precious herbs? ”

Xiao Ting's face was proud, and he said, "Let's go, grandpa will take you to take a look." With that, Xiao Ting turned his face and glanced at Du Tianying as if asking.

Du Tianying said with a smile: "Grandpa, I am weak and can't blow the cold wind, so I won't accompany you!" ”

Xiao Ting praised: "Well, let's go quickly, if you have anything to do, just ask your cousin-in-law to go." ”

The two grandparents and grandchildren went to the garden, and Xin Yao saw that there was really nothing to say, so she smiled and invited people to a courtyard at the end of the east courtyard and settled down.
