The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

In the end, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, extremely prosperous and crowded.

The people on the street are not as well-dressed as in other places, most of them wear thick jackets, although the style is not new, but it is better to keep warm and keep out the cold, many small vendors open their mouths to sell, and the aroma of food wafts out.

Xue Su took this lively scene into his eyes, how happy he was, a pair of watery eyes kept looking around, and that reluctant gaze could make people's hearts melt.

Many men noticed this delicate little lady, and when they found that the woman was combing the woman's hair, they couldn't help but sigh honestly, and they were a little frivolous, looking up and down at the good figure wrapped in the concubine's small jacket with plump breasts and thin waist, and the obscene look on her face was disgusting.

Even though Chu Qinghe couldn't see it, he could feel the malice in those eyes, he squinted, took the woman into his arms with a strong iron arm, and pulled up the hood to cover the little white face.

The man has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and the evil aura exuded by his body is terrifying, and those disciples dare not look at him at all, and leave in disgrace.

Xue Su was not blind, so she naturally noticed the situation just now, she originally wanted to scold a few words, but she never thought that Chu Qinghe would directly deter people.

With her little hands covering her delicate red lips, she couldn't help laughing out loud and deliberately changed the topic, "The capital is colder than Jingyang, and it's not easy to find a suitable shop for the New Year, so let's go back first." ”

As early as three days ago, the group in the small building had arrived in the capital and settled in the house in Tonghua Lane.

Tonghua Lane was originally a place where dignitaries could live, and General Fuguo bought a mansion here, and many people knew who the owner was.

However, since Chu Qinghe became a waste man and disappeared from the capital, many dark-minded people speculated that he would not come back, after all, a martial artist like this with no foundation, except for some prestige in the army, how could he be of any other use?

These people subconsciously ignored the man's great military exploits, and only remembered that he was from a low background, and he slowly climbed up from the lowest soldiers, far less prominent than them.

Tan Mansion, study.

Shangshu Tan of the Ministry of War was sitting on the Eight Immortals chair, his brows were tightly locked, and his well-maintained face revealed a trace of guilt.

A few days in front of the desk stood a young woman, wearing a dress made of flowing cloud yarn, embroidered with a piece of red plum on the skirt, the petals gently swayed with the woman's movements, with the light fragrance of plum blossoms on the body, adding a sense of beauty.

"Dad, don't worry, Chu Qinghe has become a waste at the beginning, you can't let me marry and suffer, you are his father-in-law, and you have a great kindness to him, even if a marriage fails, what is it? After returning to their hometown for a few years, didn't they still bring a village woman to Beijing? ”

The woman who spoke was named Tan Yuanqing, the youngest daughter of the military department, who had just turned seventeen this year, and had a good appearance like a peach and plum, and had a father who was the secretary of the military department, and it was also a princess to be the princess, so she naturally did not want to marry a powerless martial artist.

At that time, Chu Qinghe returned from injury and recuperated in the General's Mansion, Tan Yuanqing went to visit in person, but in fact, he wanted to dissolve the marriage contract.

The military department Shangshu has the grace of knowing Chu Qinghe, and the two are the relationship between the righteous father and son, he does not want to embarrass the elders, and after knowing her intentions, he took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, and left the capital after the injury healed, and there was no news for two years.

"Qinghe brought Madame back?"

Although there are many people available under the military department, they will not specifically inquire about other people's daughters, otherwise the rumors will make people think that the Tan family's family style is not correct and there are no rules.

Tan Yuanqing, as a female dependent, has no such concerns, after all, there are many women in the back house, and they often go to other people's houses to walk around, and they can always hear a lot of news.

Besides, she is not afraid of offending Chu Qinghe at all, even if the blind man becomes an auxiliary general, he is actually still that vulgar wreck, but his father and eldest brother value him very much, and she can't show her disgust too obviously.

"But no, I heard that the woman is also from Anning Village, you said that Brother Chu Yi has become a general, and the young lady from a wealthy family is unwilling to marry him, and it is not bad to have a small jasper, but he himself is not enterprising, and he found a village woman who can't wash the mud on her body, which makes people laugh."

Tan Zheng didn't hear the disdain in his words, but he had always spoiled his youngest daughter, and he had long been spoiled by people, and now he was reluctant to scold, so he could only say a few words without pain.

"Qinghe is also your brother-in-law after all, even if his wife is not sensible, you must not neglect others, can you remember?"

Tan Yuanqing smiled and nodded lightly, but his heart seemed to be surging with poisonous water, scolding the Chu family and his wife thousands of times.

The surname Chu is really not a thing, obviously he was married to himself before, even if the two have nothing to do with each other, in the eyes of the world, he is still the one who retreats first with the vulgar martial artist, and now she is not married, Chu Qinghe brought a village woman back, doesn't it mean that she is not as good as a country woman?

She almost wanted to vomit blood inside, but in front of Tan Zheng, she still didn't dare to show too much, she just pondered in her heart, when Chu Qinghe came to visit, she must give the Xue family a horse, otherwise this kind of hillbilly who has just entered the capital does not know how thick the sky is, how to cause trouble for the Tan family?

As soon as he left the study, Tan Yuanqing was called into the side hall by Mrs. Tan.

Poked the corner of the woman's forehead with her fingertips, and Mrs. Tan said, "I have also heard about Chu Qinghe's wife, you must not trouble the Xue family, he has a lot to do with the Tan Mansion, in case of a real trouble, your father and brother will have less help in the court." ”

"How can it help? That Wufu can't go to the battlefield to fight now, his eyes were personally diagnosed and treated by the envoy of the Tai Hospital, and he asserted that there was no possibility of recovery, and even the saint was completely disappointed in him, so why should we bother with a waste person? ”

Even if the side hall was all born in the house, this word would not be spread, but Mrs. Tan was still shocked, and said in a stacked voice, "You girl is really open-mouthed, don't you understand the truth that the wall has ears?" If this is heard, not only will you have no good fruit to eat, but even your father will be implicated, and you must not do ......this next time."

Tan Yuanqing reluctantly responded, took Mrs. Tan's arm and coquettishly, and revealed the matter in less than a moment.

------

Xue Su didn't know about the Tan family's affairs, and Chu Qinghe didn't mention it to her.

At this moment, she was wandering around the general's mansion, and before entering Beijing, she thought that the small courtyard in Tonghua Lane was not very large, and she could only settle down temporarily.

When she entered the door, she found that this mansion was several times larger than the yamen in Jingyang, and there were housekeepers and hundreds of slaves in it, who had been guarding the courtyard.

Seeing such a delicate and spacious courtyard, Xue Su was so beautiful that she couldn't close her mouth, and her red eyebrows and flying eyes were just like the beauties who came out of the painting, which made many maids and women look straight.

Lian Sheng sighed into his hand and whispered, "Auntie, is this really our family?" ”

A year ago, she was still suffering in Anning Village, and she couldn't even eat a full meal, but a year later, she suddenly arrived in the general's mansion, which was like a fairyland, and it was normal for her to feel a little apprehensive.

"This is your uncle's mansion, you can live in peace of mind, if you lack anything, just open your mouth with those maids, anyway, your uncle is not short of silver in his hands, and we don't need to help him save it."

Thinking of the hard life he had in the village before, Xue Su couldn't help but snort.

The surname Chu is really born in the blessing and does not know the blessing, obviously there is such a comfortable and comfortable place in the capital, he has to go back to Jingyang to be a hunter, if he does not propose to return to the capital, that person is afraid that he will not leave for the rest of his life.

After a few words of slander in his heart, Xue Su did not say anything about complaining.

She stood on tiptoe and broke off the plum branch, and there were a few red plums sporadically blooming on it, the color was delicate, and there was a faint fragrance, and the smell was quite refreshing.

The mother-in-law surnamed Jin, who was following behind Xue Su, saw the woman's movements and secretly pouted.

The girls in the capital are all people who love flowers and cherish flowers, and only women in the countryside are so unparticular about picking plum blossoms from the branches, and they will wither within a few days, which is really a bad thing.

Yu Guang glanced at Mrs. Jin's expression, the woman's red and glamorous lips were slightly hooked, and she shook the plum branch in front of Liansheng's eyes, and asked with a smile, "Do you know what this is called?" ”

Liansheng was puzzled and shook his head honestly.

"Flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches."

Mrs. Jin didn't expect Xue Su to be able to recite poems, and for a while, her old face couldn't help but be a little unbearable, her cheeks were tight, and her deep wrinkles seemed to be able to kill a mosquito.

For this kind of slave who doesn't understand the rules, Xue Su will not get used to it, she walked into the main hall quickly, gently took a sip of the almond milk brought by Chunlan, and instructed Qiu Ju:

"Go and call Steward Li."

Hearing this, the maid snorted and hurriedly went out.

After a while, a thin and swarthy old man followed her in, it was Steward Li.

Steward Li was the head of the fire army under Chu Qinghe's tent in the early years, and later he was appreciated by the general, so he came to the mansion to be a steward.

can mix in the current position, he is also a good person, from three days ago I can see that Mrs. is not a person who will suffer, the so-called gun shoots the first bird, and those who can toss generally do not end well.

Steward Li is still preparing to retire in the general's mansion, where is he willing to offend his master? He was on an errand, looking coldly at Diao Nu jumping up and down, and he didn't mean to mention it.

"Steward Li, do you have a familiar tooth wife?"

Respectfully bowing his head, he smiled all over his face, "If Mrs. Hui speaks, the old slave knows a few tooth women, but you want to buy a maid?" ”

Xue Su inserted the plum branch into the blue vase and muttered, "The disobedient slave Mrs. Ben doesn't dare to use it, it's better to sell it quickly, and then replace it with a new one, although it takes some effort to re-train, but it's much better than raising those cheating and slippery moths for nothing, isn't it?" ”

"Madame is reasonable, the general has only been away for two years, and the house has become a mess of scattered sand, and the old slave has made a lot of mistakes, and I ask Madame to give the old slave another chance, it will definitely make them remember the rules."
