At the end of spring, there are many catkins, the sun is getting stronger, and before midsummer, there are early cicadas ready to move.

There are many wine shops on both sides of the Li River, and when it is just a day, the moored boats occupy most of the river, and the prosperous scene is better than the Midyear Festival.

The vendors along the river opened their morning shops, and those who had set up their stalls first had already begun to shout, lest they would be taken away by others if they were one step too late.

However, the more noisy the shop, the more they are doing the most ordinary small business, selling candy people or paper-wrapped lanterns.

Now there are a lot of strong men in the city to build roads, dredge ditches, the passage of this city is more and more convenient, the original single travel by water by the captain, in recent days also rise to take the land by foreign cars.

Yin Xian has been married there for nine days, and according to the practice of Li Cheng, every nine pairs of returns to the door, which is a good omen.

The black car slowly stopped at the gate of Yin's mansion, and the car roared, waking up the guy who was still napping at the door. The guy didn't care about the saliva at the corner of his mouth, quickly jumped up and picked up the broom, lowered his head and ran to open the door.

I want to come a few days ago to see the lively gift-giving greeting relatives to this not too spacious vestibule surrounded the water, the heat is only a few days, the front of the court is deserted, the door is crowded.

Although it was still spring, the temperature was really high, Yin Xian lowered her head and got out of the car, maybe she had been sitting for a long time, and there were a few more folds on the dark green cheongsam. She stood and stroked her clothes, over and over again.

"Miss!" The little girl who got off the car with Yin Xian is called Ah Tian, who is Yin Xian's dowry maid, although she is still young, she has served Yin Xian since she was a child, and she has seen it in the world, and she is more clever than ordinary rough girls.

"You forgot again, you should have changed your tune a long time ago." Ah Tian mistook his mouth for a while, and said embarrassedly, "Less.. Less grandma, less grandma! Leave these things to our subordinates. After speaking, he hurriedly squatted down to sort out Yin Xian's hem. The young grandmother is very beautiful today! At first glance, he is a rich and noble person, and when he sees the young grandmother dressed properly, the old lady can be regarded as relieved. ”

Ah Tian touched the peacock embroidered with gold thread on his clothes, and lowered his head with a smile to wipe Yin Xian's leather shoes, lest he fall into a speck of dust, "The young grandmother is good-looking, the clothes are good-looking, and the shoes are also good-looking, Ah Tian has never read any books, but I just feel that the young grandmother's dress is a rare appearance in the world that captivates the country and the city!" ”

Yin Xianyan smiled and pulled Ah Tian up, "Flim tongue, don't hurry up and get in." ”

"Although General Duan didn't come, not coming doesn't mean that you don't care about young grandma! Young grandmother, don't take it to heart, otherwise the old lady will worry about it for no reason......"

Yin Xian was slightly stunned, her face added a few gray colors, and then she walked in the door quickly, her voice trembling slightly: "Don't tell your father and mother to wait." Then he walked away quickly.

"Young grandma! Young grandma! Ah Tian hurriedly wanted to catch up, but the little guy who opened the door elbowed him, "Which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened." The little guy looked at Ah Tian with a sneer, looking proud. Ah Tian angrily chopped his feet, picked up his luggage, instructed the coachman, and hurriedly chased after him.

The Yin family is a century-old family, the genealogy can stretch to Li Tang, since ancient times, they are all scholarly families, and the children under their knees are all scrolls, and the young girls are female workers. The two generations of Yin Lao began to engage in business, but they did not abandon the spirit of reading in their bones, and the furnishings in their homes were antique and full of files.

Yin Lao has not returned due to business affairs, and Yin's mother has already been waiting in the main hall since Yin, seeing Yin Xian returning, she hurriedly asked the maid to help her up, and the mother and daughter have burst into tears before they have spoken.

"Mother, the unfilial daughter Yin Xian is back, is my father and mother okay?" Yin Xian was about to kneel, but was hurriedly pulled up by Yin's mother.

Mother Yin took the emerald handkerchief on her chest, wiped Yin Xian's tears, and choked up, "It's all good, silly boy, it's only been a few days, and there will be many days when I won't see you in the future." After speaking, he probed left and right: "Why don't you see that adult?" ”

Ah Tian was about to have a seizure, and was busy being stopped by Yin Xian, "My husband has a lot of things to do, so I have two days to spare, and I recently learned that there are thieves somewhere and I am busy with ......"

"Okay, okay, Xian'er doesn't need to say it, they are all busy men, look at your father, he was handed over by those merchants early in the morning, saying that he was holding a trading council, it was almost noon, and the figure was gone, but we women, in the end, were not as good as men, and there was nothing to do every day."

"Madame's words are not right, our eldest lady is so smart and virtuous, if the master was willing to continue to let the eldest lady study in private school, in my opinion, now the time is better than ten men!" Ah Tian seemed to be indignant on the sidelines

"Amada! In the end, I spoiled you, and I became less and less big or small, so I went down and made a pot of tea for me and my wife, and used the bag of extremely white that my husband gave me. ”

Ah Tian had to respond in a low voice, squinting at the little guy in the corner, and even covering his mouth and laughing at himself again, the angry Ah Tian rolled his eyes dozens of times.

"You guys also go down and help Yin Xian clean up the room and come out." Yin's mother spoke, retreated from others, and treated everyone to disperse, before she said, "Xian'er, you must know that your father didn't let you continue to study, it's not that your father doesn't love you, it's just that a woman who reads too many books is not likable after all, she knows too much, and she will always suffer if she is too smart, so you don't have to blame your father." Although our Yin family is a scholarly family, it is only a man who reads more sage books, and your father let you go to school, which is already the first time for our Yin family. ”

Yin Xian was silent, lowered her head and peeled the loquat, peeled it and put it in a clean white disk.

"You live in that lord's mansion, can you live in peace?" Yin Xian still hangs her head and peels off the loquat "stable"

"Have you ever had sex?" "Mother!" Yin Xian was startled, and the half-skinned loquat in her hand rolled to the ground.

"Mother, what are you talking about?!"

"I married your father less than three months ago and became pregnant with you, and now you don't know your father's situation, if you earn a son and a half daughter as soon as possible, you will be stable in the future, and your father and I will also be stable."

"My mother never told me this, so what's wrong with today?" Yin Xian picked up the loquat on the ground, wiped it with a handkerchief, and put it on a plate.

"Mother knows that I don't like to listen to these things, and as for my children, I will also be measured."

After a moment of silence, Yin Xian's tone changed slightly, "Mother can know that Uncle Liu has been in good health recently......"

"Everything is fine, I secretly hid those letters for you, your father doesn't know."

It is said that the mother and daughter have a soul, and sure enough, it is true. This Uncle Liu's name is Liu Zong, and the Yin family can be said to be a world friend, Liu Zong has an only son under his knees, called Liu Songzhong, three years old to recite poetry, four years old to write essays, five years old history books and classics are like a stream, is a prodigy passed down from generation to generation.

Liu Songzhong went to the Yin family's private school with Yin Xian when he was young, plus his childhood sweetheart, and he was the best two in the private school.

Later, Liu Songzhong went to the West to study, exploring the instantaneous changes of heaven and earth, and every once in a while he would send letters and parcels to Yin's Mansion, most of which contained some foreign gadgets and novelty that Li Cheng had never had.

Yin Lao was old-fashioned, and he didn't want Yin Xian to have too much contact with these foreigners, and felt that it hurt people's minds, so he intercepted the package and letter and secretly destroyed it. Yin Xian had to ask her mother, who loved her only daughter and couldn't bear to feel sad, so she asked her mother-in-law in the courtyard to secretly send the package to Yin's mother, so that she kept a few of them so that they would not all be destroyed.

For a moment, Yin Xian was moved and hugged Yin's mother excitedly. "How old are you, why are you still so fond of selling, you are all young grandmothers, and you have to convince the public in words and deeds in the future." Although Yin's mother said this, she still hugged Yin Xian lovingly, and gently patted her on the back, as if coaxing a young child.

"The cook has already prepared the meal, and after sitting in the car for most of the day, he is hungry." After speaking, he pulled Yin Xian towards the inner hall.

The Yin family's diet has always been light, and big meat and fishy dishes are very rare, and Yin Xian has been fond of sweets since she was a child.

The two strolled to the back garden, where the maid had already packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and when they saw that the masters had arrived, they set up their stools and began to prepare vegetables.

"Are you used to eating there? How are the cooks there? Mother Yin served a bowl of whitebait soup for Yin Xian and asked quietly.

Ah Tian stood behind Yin Xian and cleaned up the tea for Yin Xian, "Duan Dashuai loves our young lady very much, and he finds a cook to cook it alone for our young lady, and it is all what our young lady is used to!" ”

Mother Yin's face seemed to show embarrassment, "Do it alone?" In other words, could it be that you haven't eaten at the same table yet? Yin Xian picked up the rice in the bowl, and was guessed by her mother, so she could only smile awkwardly.

"Now that I have become a relative to our family, the return gift can still be fooled, how can there be a reason for husband and wife not to eat at the same table. It is rumored that this handsome man has a hidden habit, could it be true......"

"Mother's ......" Yin Xian was speechless for a while, extremely embarrassed.

.....

"Mrs. Yin! Mrs. Yin! Oh no! Suddenly, the little guy who was sweeping the door ran over out of breath, "Mrs. Yin! Go ahead and have a look! Oh no! ”

"What's the fuss about, disturbing Madame and Miss to eat, be careful of your skin!" Ah Tian thrust his waist and said angrily.

"Take a sip of tea and breathe." Yin Xian hurriedly ordered Ah Tian to pour a cup of tea for the little guy to drink, even though Ah Tian was reluctant, he was helpless, so he could only hand it over angrily.

"I don't know if the eldest lady is messing with the one above, at the door of our house, at the door, there are about 100 people, with guns, and foreign cars, and, I can't tell, please Miss Madame go and see the situation!"

Yin Xian was about to go when she lifted her body, but was pulled by Yin's mother, "Now that your father has not come back, don't mess around." There is no doubt that this battle is Duan Dashuai's person, you first weigh whether you have provoked Dashuai, if there is any room, your mother and I will compensate first. ”

Yin Xian also had no clue, and wanted to discuss it with her mother again, but there were already footsteps.

Two people walked out of the screen in the inner hall, although the temperature was slightly higher, but the two still wore military hats with dark green backgrounds and gold silk rice ears, and pinned high lined stand-up collars.

The man at the head took off his hat, bowed slightly, and the moment he looked up, he saw his face clearly, his skin complexion seemed to be running around a lot, even if the military uniform was relatively slim, but it was still difficult to hide the broad chest and the lines of the muscles on the arms. Although the forehead is covered by broken hair, a more hideous scar can still be faintly seen under the left temple. The facial features are not delicate, but they are definitely not handsome, but the eyebrows and eyes are very sharp, and the two lips are as thin as sword blades, coupled with a relatively strong and tall figure, the more arrogant it is.

Yin Xian was shocked, this was clearly her husband - Duan Dashuai, Duan Huanian! Behind him was the adjutant who had been following the commander to ensure his personal safety, how could they be here?

How could this ineffective husband, who had never touched her since marriage, had never eaten at her table, or even communicated with her alone, come to her mother's house? Do you want to arrest people? Or is it that he has not behaved properly these days, causing his family to be implicated in vain?

But what is shocking is what the "man above" says next.

"My mother-in-law is healthy, I don't see my wife anywhere, I was here, there was a lot of trouble, Duan came to pick up someone."
