In this farce, with the tacit approval of the two families, the Beijing Yamen came forward and sentenced the righteousness.

Xu Huan went to the yamen, signed the document of righteousness on behalf of his seriously injured brother-in-law, returned to the Bofu with Guo Sheng, gave the document to Mrs. Yan, and when he left the Bofu, Guo Sheng grabbed Xu Huan and dragged him into his small courtyard.

"Tell me, what's going on with the Jiang family sisters and brothers?" Guo Sheng pressed Xu Huan to the chair under the corridor and asked.

"Let's make a pot of tea first, we've been busy for most of the day, and we're thirsty and speechless." Xu Huan accompanied him with a smile on his face, got up and stabbed the stove to boil water, washed the cup with tea leaves, and kept busy with the teapot.

Guo Sheng leaned back in the chair, raised his feet and pedaled the railing of the verandah, leaned against Xu Huan, watching him concentrate on making tea with great busyness, watching Xu Huan accompany him with a smile on his face, holding a cup in both hands, half-bending down in front of him, snorting, and snorting, "Put it down first, make it clear." ”

This pair of sisters and brothers who killed in the sky ruined his big thing, making him lose face in front of the girl, is this a cup of tea?

"On the day I arrived in the capital on the second day of junior high school, I was ready to tell you about this. The rest of the matter was one after another, and it was delayed, and I didn't expect her to come so quickly, and she arrived when she arrived. Xu Huan put down the cup, smiled dryly, and bent over Guo Sheng again before sitting next to Guo Sheng.

That pair of reckless sisters and brothers ruined Guo Sheng's affairs, so he had to be a little more careful.

"Whose girl is that? How did you meet? Let's start with this. Guo Sheng looked at Xu Huan, who was full of confusion and embarrassment, and asked.

"Of course it's the Jiang girl, you know this." Xu Huan paused, "Yes...... Last year, when I was raising money with my wife, I met someone by chance. ”

Guo Sheng's eyes shrank and loosened suddenly, his upper body stepped forward, and he stared at Xu Huan, "Qiu Da's family?" ”

Xu Huan was startled and glared at Guo Sheng, "You?" How did you? How do you know? ”

"Hey!" When Guo Sheng saw Xu Huan's appearance, the corners of his mouth pulled down with disdain, "How do I know?" Where did your wife get the money? You see it's hard for you to be like this, isn't it hard to say? Also, this surname Jiang must be your uncle's cleverness, is the surname Qiu from Jiang, to be honest, I hate you sour literati the most, you dare to be clever at any time, it's really fatal. ”

Guo Sheng looked disdainful, and before he finished disdain, he was puzzled again, "No, Qiu Da is only in his early thirties, you are telling me the truth, right?" Really in your early thirties? Not sixty? Is there twenty of that girl? There is no twenty, there is also eighteen or nineteen, the sister of Qiu Da's master? Niece? ”

"That's my uncle's only daughter." Xu Huan replied in a muffled voice.

Guo Sheng leaned back into the chair hard, the chair that was shaking rattled loudly, Guo Sheng dragged a long note with a turn, let out a long sigh, and sighed a few times, "Master Qiu and your uncle, it's really ...... The two in one, your uncle's daughter is alone, so what about Qiu Da in charge? How many babies are there? How old is that silly boy? Eldest son? ”

"It's also this one, Qiu Da's daughter-in-law and his childhood sweetheart, but also a ruthless corner, when his son was three years old, they fought with another group, Qiu Dadang's family was ambushed, his daughter-in-law took someone to rescue him, rescued Qiu Da's family, he died, He Da's family is a serious person, and he has been guarding until now, just this only son."

Xu Huan's voice was very low, and Guo Sheng leaned forward, listening very attentively.

"The year after his daughter-in-law's death, his uncle took Shangwu and Sister Wen with him, well," Xu Huan hurriedly explained, "The name given by my uncle, the eldest sister is called Jiang Shangwen, and the other is called Jiang Shangwu." When Shangwu was five years old, his uncle took them to the capital first, turned more than a dozen hands, and brought in a family, got a Beijing nationality, this family had a foreign family in Mingzhou, and took them to Mingzhou and settled in Mingzhou City. For so many years, my wife has been secretly taking care of me, and I just learned about it at the end of last year. ”

"That lady Shangwen, have taken a fancy to you?" Guo Sheng's eyes were poisonous, although he could see it after just a few glances.

"Alas!" Xu Huan let out a long sigh, "When that girl saw me first, she shouted and screamed, saying that she knew me, she had seen me many times in Mingzhou City, and asked me if I remembered her, I didn't know her at all!" Alas. ”

"You have a crush on her too?" The corners of Guo Sheng's mouth went down again, looking Xu Huan up and down.

Xu Huan hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no." Don't think about it, how can you be like this? It's a shame that I usually look so highly at you! It's not that you don't know, I have already made up my mind, I must find a good woman who is gentle and quiet, and reads poetry and books, what can she do? You think so much! What a man you are! ”

The corners of Guo Sheng's mouth almost fell to his neck, "Look at your virtue of three hundred taels of silver here, you will fall in love with it, just ask for a marriage and come back, your uncle must be willing, otherwise, you can't let his daughter chase you all the way to come, your wife will definitely not refuse, otherwise your uncle will not dare to let his daughter come like this." ”

"Alas!" Xu Huan let out a long sigh, and his upper body shrank into the chair, "Lao Guo, let me ask you, why don't you join the office?" Why do you want to give up your career? ”

"I'm a ...... person" Guo Sheng said halfway, leaning at Xu Huan, for a moment, it was also a long sigh, and he leaned back in the chair, and let out another long sigh.

"Sister Wen'er Awu's origin, you can see at a glance, there are more people in this court who are more shrewd than you.

At this time, Sister Wen and Ah Wu are just small people like the sand of the Ganges, no one cares about it, and no one knows.

If...... Not to mention that once you enter the official career, you will have a political enemy or something in the future, that is, you will be a jinshi, and you will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop. ”

Xu Huan's voice was low and low, Guo Sheng sighed when he heard it, sighed and nodded.

"Like you, you have no career," Xu Huan paused, was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "I can't make up my mind, I can't give up, I'm an ambitious." ”

"What do you mean, wife?" Guo Sheng sighed for a while, almost as much as he had done for more than ten years, for a long time, before he asked in a low voice.

"My wife is an old slippery man, saying that this is my own business, and she doesn't care." Xu Huan said in a muffled voice.

Guo Sheng was stunned, laughed out loud, the laughter fell, and sighed again, "Don't ask me, I have the same meaning with your wife, this is your own business, I don't care, you make up your own mind." ”

"I didn't ask you!" Xu Huan glanced at Guo Sheng, of course this is his own business, of course he has to make his own decision, his idea ...... Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.

"Do you have any wine? When you're tired, you have to drink a few glasses of wine to slow down. For a long time, Xu Huan asked in a depressed voice.

"Rich!" Guo Sheng yelled.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The back yard even promised to bring footsteps sounded, Fugui came in from the back yard, looked at Guo Sheng timidly, and heard that he was asked to hurry up to buy wine and peanuts to buy wine and vegetables, smiling like a flower, even promised to bow down, and ran out happily.

Guo Sheng accompanied Xu Huan to drink until the evening, and instructed Fugui to send the drunk and staggered Xu Huan back to Xu's house, and paced back and forth in the courtyard seven or eight times, sorted out his thoughts, and then went into the house to rest.

Early the next morning, Guo Sheng entered the Qingteng Courtyard, arranged for Li Wenlan to conceive an article in the courtyard, stood next to Li Xia, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday's incident was careless......

"Who are those siblings?" Li Xia spread out a book in front of him, looked at the sixth brother who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, interrupted Guo Sheng's words and asked.

Guo Sheng hurriedly told the origin of Jiang Shangwen and Jiang Shangwu, and said that Jiang Shangwen was running for Xu Huan's capital, and Xu Huan's entangled dilemma, and he didn't dare to leave a word.

Li Xia's eyebrows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and the tips of his eyebrows rose and fell slightly.

It turned out that Huo Liancheng and Qiu He each had a daughter and a son arranged in Mingzhou, no wonder the silver money accounts copied back then couldn't match a big hole...... This pair of sisters and brothers have more silver in their hands than their grandmothers......

After Guo Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Xia with bated breath, Li Xia came out of his mind for a while, and glanced at Guo Sheng, "First, I didn't hear about the Jiang family's sisters and brothers, and I don't want to hear it again in the future." ”

Guo Sheng was stunned for a moment and blinked a few times.

"Second, hasn't Hu Panshi held the canal in the palm of his hand? Daddy Lu met the Jiang family's sister and brother, did he not know, or did he not take it seriously? What if this is a deliberate door-to-door delivery? Or a fairy jump? ”

The sweat on Guo Sheng's forehead oozed out.

"Third, you were too careless about yesterday's events. The lion elephant fights the rabbit, and you must also use all your strength, I have told you this, you don't know that there are Jiang sisters and brothers, and let the Jiang family sisters and brothers drive straight into the game, if this is on the battlefield, this strange soldier is enough for you and me to die without a place to be buried! ”

Guo Sheng's legs trembled one after another, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat layer after layer, barely holding on to his knees.

"Hmph, go back and think about it, if there is a second time, you should go back to Shaoxing Mansion and be a small earthworm." After Li Xia finished speaking, he lowered his head and concentrated on reading the book.

Guo Sheng wiped a few handfuls of cold sweat in a row, shook his legs and moved to the door, after a long while, it didn't look unusual.

At noon, Guo Sheng said that Xu Huan was very drunk yesterday, so he had to go over to take a look, asked for a horse, went straight to Xu's house, called Xu Huan out, sat in the small tea shop next to him, asked for food, and said in a low voice while eating: "Old Xu, after you left yesterday, I didn't sleep well all night, and I thought about it all night." ”

Xu Huan looked at Guo Sheng and listened to him intently, what was the big deal that made him not sleep well all night?

"The origin of the Jiang family's sisters and brothers, so do I, alas!" Guo Sheng patted his forehead in annoyance, "I'm used to being free, when it comes to things, I always forget that there is a master now, and I don't count as a master, but also a master, and the proprietor is also the master, Lao Xu, the waiter pays attention to the word sincerity, such a big thing, implicated and heavy, you say that if I know, can I not say it?" ”

Xu Huan's frightened eyes widened, Lao Guo is going to sell the Jiang family's sisters and brothers?

"Don't worry, look at you like this, where do you want to go? I'm telling you, we can't know the origin of the Jiang family's sisters and brothers! I didn't hear anything, not a word, yesterday! Guo Sheng word by word.

Xu Huan glared at Guo Sheng and didn't hear it...... Belch! So what does he do? He didn't hear it...... He didn't see it!

"I don't know!" Xu Huan hurriedly answered, "I know the lady of the Jiang family and the little brother of the Jiang family, that's because ...... Because...... Are they all from Mingzhou, a small place in Mingzhou, kowtow to their brains...... No, it's a wife, they are all businessmen, and they know each other, and they have met twice, and they are friends on one side...... That's it! ”

"How did the Jiang family sister and brother meet your brother-in-law?" Guo Sheng asked suddenly.

"I said that I met on the road, how many times did I ......" Xu Huan stopped and swallowed halfway through his words, "How do I know?" It's just a one-sided acquaintance, and I definitely don't know about such a thing. ”

Guo Sheng leaned at him and laughed a few times, "You can remember, we don't know anything." ”

The matter of severing with the Dong family's relatives dragged on for two or three days, and Mrs. Yan found an opportunity, and tactfully eased and talked to Mrs. Xu and Li Dong, Li Dong hung his head and didn't speak, Mrs. Xu's tears fell all of a sudden, what is this called, the old man was beaten inexplicably, and Sister Dong'er had a good family affair.

"Auntie, it's okay, I'm fine, Uncle Niang is right, there is no fate, Auntie, I'm fine, don't cry." Seeing Mrs. Xu's tears falling down one by one, Li Dong hurriedly suppressed the sadness and grievances in his heart, and comforted A-Niang softly.

Mrs. Yan looked at Li Dong with pity, this child is too distressing, can't she think less for others and more for yourself? At this time, it would be nice if she cried bitterly regardless of it, not to mention a big hair, a small temper tantrum, or a tricky temperament.

Master Li raised his injuries for a few days, recovered as before, reported to Honglu Temple on an errand, and was busy for seven or eight days, a little bit to get started, and settled down for a few days, Su Ye quietly found Li Xia, and said in a low voice: "Nine Niangzi, the girl doesn't seem to be very good, this has been four or five days, every night I say that my chest hurts, and when I fall asleep, I still moan vaguely like pain, and the girl's menstrual affairs, to this day, it has been five days late, and the girl's menstrual affairs have always been very accurate, and the difference between them is at most one day or two."

I said to ask a doctor for a diagnosis, the girl didn't say that she was fine, she said that she was tired from taking care of the old man a few days ago, just rest for a few days, Jiu Niangzi, I don't look like I'm tired, let's be tired now, how can I be tired? The girl just wouldn't let her say, saying that she was fine, that she couldn't help, and that she wouldn't let her and Mrs. make trouble anymore no matter what. ”

"Sister is angry, thank you Sister Su Ye, I'll go and tell Madame, don't worry, my sister's temper is ...... The loss is Sister Su Ye! Li Xia stomped his foot a few times in hatred, and hurried to find Mrs. Yan.

Li Xia followed behind Mrs. Yan, listening to the doctor's long talk about how liver qi stagnation is, the mood is extremely gloomy, my sister has such a temperament, what she is most afraid of is a disease like liver qi stagnation, she has to think of a way, at least let her sister relax her heart first, alas, this is all to blame her, the Dong family's family business, she still inquired too little, it should be like what the prince said, from the time of breastfeeding......
