Chapter 194: Crisis (Part II)

Eleven Niang was stunned.

She didn't expect Xu Lingyi to tell her this.

I thought of his coldness when we met for the first time and the way he was blushing and muttering now, and I didn't feel it.

Xu Lingyi saw his wife smile, his face was a little unbearable, and he said slightly: "What I said is true." Afterwards, I also asked Aunt Qiao why she was screaming, and Aunt Qiao said that she suddenly found someone behind the screen...... It was a complete misunderstanding. ”

Shi Niang saw his changes clearly, secretly screamed in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Who is Master Hou?" Ping Nanban, conquer the northwest, a dignified manly man, why lie to a woman! ”

This high hat is well-worn.

Xu Lingyi knew it, but she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. Thinking of himself holding a child back for no reason, he didn't explain a word to Shi Niang, but Shi Niang never doubted herself, and suddenly had a sense of steadiness in her heart. The words were said without taboo: "It seems that this matter is Xiao Wu's fault." But in all seriousness, it's my fault. His voice became a little depressed, "In those years, I was fighting outside, and I didn't take care of my family's affairs. By the time I returned, he had become a gentleman who only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry...... I felt uncomfortable when I looked at it, and naturally I didn't have good words for him. He also looked at me and was scared, and he hid away from me if there was anything to do. If something happens, don't say that you are talking to me, the first one is thinking about how to hide me......" He leaned on the big pillow and took a long breath, looking at Chengchen with a somewhat blank gaze, "Speaking of which, I was not a peaceful person when I was a child. But the second brother treated me at that time, but he was always soft-spoken and discussed. Our brother has something to do, and the second brother also spares no effort...... I either beat or scolded Xiao Wu. Naturally, he didn't dare to tell me about the accident. It's no wonder that he's come to this day. Speaking of which, I, I'm not as good as my second brother. By the end of the words, I was infinitely stunned.

There is a dead person as the standard, and the living person is difficult to surpass.

Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi with some sympathy.

"It's never too late to start changing!" Her voice was unexpectedly soft, "What's more, the fifth master is only nineteen years old this year, and you will be at home in the future, and you will have more time." ”

Xu Lingyi stared at Eleven Niang.

Her demeanor was peaceful, her smile was quiet, and her eyes looking at him were sincere, with a little tolerance.

His mind suddenly became very calm and peaceful.

"I hope he can become more sensible after this lesson!" Xu Lingyi let out a long sigh.

Eleven Niang remembered an incident: "Can you find out who wants to buy a child?" ”

Xu Lingyi shook his head: "There is no news yet." ”

While the two were talking, a little servant came in and said, "Master Hou, the uncle of the bowstring alley is here!" ”

Xu Lingyi's expression was straight, and he instructed the little servant: "Please come in!" Then he got up and got off the kang.

Eleven Niang personally opened the curtain to send him out, and then called Amber to come: "You go to Banyuepan to have a look." Children, don't understand so much. Give him food and drink, and he will draw near to you. You take some pastries and let Holly coax Feng Qing to eat something. Hou Ye said that he would send people away in two days. Let her work hard for these two days. ”

Amber retreated.

A little maid came in and said, "Madam, Master Hou asked you to go to the hall." ”

Eleven Niang went to the mirror to straighten her sideburns and placket, and then went to the hall.

Xu Lingyi and Luo Zhenxing sat on both sides of the black lacquered square table left and right, and there were also a few paper boxes for gifts with the word Fu on them. Seeing Eleven Niang come in, Luo Zhenxing got up and shouted "Eleventh Sister".

Eleven Niang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Xu Lingyi pointed to the Taishi chair under his head: "There are no outsiders, let's sit down and talk!" ”

Eleven Niang replied "yes" respectfully, sat down, and a little maid served tea, and then tiptoed back.

Xu Lingyi said: "Zhenxing came this time to help Zhu Gongzi send New Year's gifts." ”

Zhu Gongzi gave a New Year's gift...... Zhu Anping?

The thought flashed, and Luo Zhenxing smiled and said: "It's the seventh brother-in-law, who specially sent someone to send New Year's gifts to each family." I didn't expect the road to be more difficult than expected, so I delayed the day. I arrived at noon today. I stayed for dinner, and then I came with me. ”

"Seventh brother-in-law is so polite!" Eleven Niang was a little embarrassed.

is also a daughter who married in the first year, she and Wuniang only sent their elders, but not their peers.

She looked at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi immediately nodded at her, meaning that she was prepared.

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Zhenxing said: "Seventh Sister also pointed out a few things for you. I've already helped bring it here. ”

Since I came to Beijing to send New Year's gifts, I sent a few mothers to follow me to say hello to the elders, which is decent and not in the way...... Why didn't I expect this stubble, and let the eldest brother and a man help bring things......

muttered in his heart that this Zhu Anping was rough, but he got up with a smile and blessed Luo Zhenxing: "There is Brother Lao." ”

Luo Zhenxing smiled and said, "It's a good effort", and then pushed the paper box on the table: "I was going to let the mothers in the car come in to say hello to you, and you can also ask about the current situation of the seventh sister and pass on your own words to each other." It's just that the two mothers are afraid of being rude, so they don't dare to come in anyway. I had to do it for me. ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but be ashamed.

It turned out that it was not that people were rough, but that they were afraid that she would have a high threshold and did not dare to come in...... I can't help but have a little regret in my heart. If you can meet and ask Qi Niang about the situation, how good it would be!

She couldn't help but say, "In that case, let the two mothers come in and I'll take a look!" ”

Luo Zhenxing smiled: "Forget it!" so as not to frighten others. ”

Eleven Niang was not reluctant, and when the green cloud on the side put away the box, Xu Lingyi asked the eldest lord and eldest wife: "...... Are the two old men okay? ”

"It's fine." The eldest lady's body is not a matter of one or two days, Luo Zhenxing responded politely.

"If there's anything you want me to come forward, just say it." Xu Lingyi said, "I just got two 50-year-old ginseng two days ago, and you will bring them back to replenish the body of the two elders." ”

Luo Zhenxing hurriedly excused himself: "Hou Ye's health is not good, it is the time to use medicine." How to be well treated to your ginseng. ”

"One doesn't say two." Xu Lingyi called out to the little guy to find Mr. Bai to get ginseng, and said, "What are your father-in-law's plans?" ”

Luo Zhenxing's face was slightly confused, thinking that Xu Lingyi asked him how the eldest master reacted when he asked him to turn last time.

"Daddy is a scholar, I'm afraid it will take a few days to know the emperor's intention to amnesty the world."

A trace of helplessness flashed in Xu Lingyi's eyes, and he said: "My father-in-law is an official for one term and benefits one party." It's a shame to be idle like this. It's just that the emperor is in the prime of life, and he wants to learn from Emperor Taizong's martial arts and become a generation of saints. The beginning of spring next year is a big test, and there are more places to move. Liu Ge Lao Zhishi has also been for two years. Revitalization is still good to persuade the father-in-law. I have made up my mind, and I can maneuver through it. ”

hinted that Luo Zhenxing would do the work of the eldest master, let him follow the emperor wholeheartedly, and he could help find a shortage next spring.

Luo Zhenxing listened to it but did not show the joy that should be revealed, but was uncertain for a long time, and then resolutely looked at Xu Lingyi: "Master Hou's kindness has revitalized my heart." It's just that my father is getting older, and his body is getting worse day by day. Instead of seeking a high position to make the people in the family worry, it is better to be at home with grandchildren, grow flowers and raise fish to be leisurely. ”

actually declined Xu Lingyi's kindness.

Xu Lingyi was very surprised, and hesitated: "Do you want to go back and discuss your father-in-law?" ”

Luo Zhenxing glanced at the surprised Eleven Niang and shook his head: "It's better not to discuss his old man." He added, "Now the situation is unpredictable, and the sacred heart is difficult to understand." Rather than mixing indiscriminately at this time, it is better to spend a peaceful life at home. As he spoke, he got up and waved at Xu Lingyi, "I also hope that the Hou Ye will understand the painstaking efforts of revitalization and complete the filial piety of revitalization." ”

Eleven Niang nodded secretly in her heart.

Although this hinders the future of the eldest lord and is a little unfilial, compared to the so-called ambition of the eldest lord, it is better to let him stay at home like this, at least it will not cause any trouble. And in the year after tomorrow, Luo Zhenxing should disband, instead of getting a position for the eldest master, it is better to find a way to find a good errand for Luo Zhenxing.

Xu Lingyi was a little undecided.

He did not oppose Luo Zhenxing's opinion, on the contrary, he agreed with Luo Zhenxing's approach, and admired Luo Zhenxing's behavior of judging the situation and sizing up the situation. But his identity is that of a son-in-law...... Who doesn't want their mother's family to soar, and then turn around and help themselves gain a firm foothold in their husband's family. What's more, it's not that he doesn't have the ability to help the big man.

Thinking of this, he looked towards Eleven Niang.

Seeing that Xu Lingyi had been silent, Eleven Niang looked at him. Their eyes met in the air.

Seeing the hesitation in Xu Lingyi's eyes, she immediately nodded at him, meaning that she agreed with Luo Zhenxing's idea.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Lingyi's eyes.

Eleven Niang simply smiled and asked Luo Zhenxing: "Big brother is going to break up the hall the year after tomorrow, right?" ”

Luo Zhenxing was stunned.

Xu Lingyi has understood. immediately gave up asking the eldest master, and asked Luo Zhenxing with a smile: "Then what are the plans for Zhenxing?" I think the ministry is good. Do you have any interest in going to the Ministry of Officials to experience the experience? ”

stayed in Yanjing as a court official, and then started from the head of the six departments...... That's a lot of money. No one else can ask for it.

Eleven Niang also looked at Luo Zhenxing with a smile.

Luo Zhenxing continued to refuse euphemistically: "...... After reading books for so many years, they are all on paper. If you want to be a capable official who benefits one party, it is better to start from the county order. ”

Xu Lingyi smiled slightly and said, "Although it is said that most of the officials start from the county order, you should first be a hall official in Yanjing for a few years and make some friends." It will be good for you to act in the future. ”

Luo Zhenxing wanted to say something, Xu Lingyi had already said: "Anyway, there are still some days." You should think about this matter, and you might as well listen to your father-in-law's meaning before making a decision. ”

Xu Lingyi's attitude was already obvious, Luo Zhenxing was not good at saying anything, the two chatted a few words, Luo Zhenxing said that he was going to give Siniang a New Year's gift, and got up to say goodbye.

The two of them accompanied Luo Zhenxing to Mrs. Tai to salute and sent him to the door of the weeping flower.

Manager Bai's return gift to the Zhu family has been prepared, and a few little people are heading to the Zhu family's carriage. Eleven Niang was startled when she saw that the Xu family had returned to the Zhu family's cart full of things.

Luo Zhenxing smiled bitterly: "The Zhu family is very polite, and we each got a cart of things." ”

Eleven Niang laughed, and couldn't help but whisper: "Seventh Sister is really married to a rich man!" ”

The Xu family's New Year's gift was only according to the cost of eighty taels of silver per family, and it was only carried over by ten, but the Zhu family talked about the car outfit.

Today, I ......~~~~~~~~ a conference and didn't write it out!
