Xu Lingyi's hesitation made Eleven Niang laugh secretly in her heart.

The content behind this turning sentence is the point of Xu Lingyi's words to himself today, right?

In fact, he was overly concerned.

In the face of this kind of major event similar to "separation" and "future", she doesn't want to take the blame for Xu Lingyi's decision. So no matter what Xu Lingyi decides, she will show resignation and obedience.

"Master Hou, what do you have to tell the concubine?" Eleven Niang gave him the steps down.

Who knew that Xu Lingyi's face flashed with embarrassment when she heard this.

"That's the ......" His speed of speech was a little slow, and it gave people a thoughtful feeling when he listened, "The three of us brothers, I don't have to say, the fifth brother is in the Praetorian Guard, and if the third brother comes out again, I'm afraid there will be rumors." ”

Eleven Niang listened with a flash of inspiration.

Does he want to......

"What does Master Hou mean?" There was a bit of solemnity in her voice.

"I mean, you can't take all the benefits." Xu Lingyi stared into Eleven Niang's eyes, "In the spring of next year, I want to resign from the post of Governor of the Five Armies and let the third brother join the office." ”

It's very cunning!

Shi Niang couldn't help it, and the corners of her mouth curled.

resigned from the post of governor of the Fifth Army, but retained the position of the prince and young master, and then exchanged a three-rank high-ranking official for a seven-rank county order...... Whether it's the emperor or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I'm afraid it's hard to say anything, right? He also took the opportunity to pull himself down from the cusp of the limelight and cool down the Xu family's current fiery cooking situation. Even, the third master just saw Xu Lingyi's true intentions clearly, if he was not ruthless enough, he was afraid that he would still be grateful to his younger brother for the sacrifice he made. If the third lady is allowed to completely stand on the side of brotherhood from now on, then the third lady will not be able to make a name for herself no matter how much she jumps!

Kill a few birds with one stone!

But what does he do with himself? Are you afraid that you will oppose it? In his impression, such a matter related to the honor and fate of the family, he should ignore his wife's opposition......

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look at Xu Lingyi.

But there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

It turned out that I was not worried about myself......

In the flint lightning, Eleven Niang suddenly understood.

In the past, Yuan Niang must have had a very serious conflict with him over these things. So, he tested his attitude again and again!

It's a bit like being forced to take a test, but at least there's a chance to take it!

Eleven Niang smiled: "Master Hou has foot paralysis, so he should rest at home!" ”

Xu Lingyi listened and stared.

Eleven Niang is telling the truth.

The tree is a big move.

She took a dip under this big tree, naturally hoping that the tree would flourish, but she also hoped that the tree would not fall through the wind and rain.

"I'm afraid I'll be at home." Xu Lingyi looked at Eleven Niang with burning eyes, "I'm afraid that it will be difficult to enter the office in the future." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

I don't know how many people strive for their lifelong goal to retire at the age of 35 or 40 and start enjoying life...... Xu Lingyi is not yet thirty years old!

Thinking that I don't know when the end will be...... She was a little sour in her heart, and she thought with jealousy: Looking at him like that, it is estimated that he has no amateur hobbies, even if he is retired at home, it is a waste!

But he didn't dare to show his expression, but he smiled brightly: "Master Hou has worked hard for the family for so many years, if he can be at home and live a dull life of raising flowers and feeding birds, the concubine thinks it is an excellent thing." ”

Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes when she looked at her.

He could tell that she was telling the truth, and there was a hint of envy in her tone.

A woman is virtuous and obedient, and regards her husband as the sky, so she will naturally sincerely defend her husband's decision. But envy...... Why envy?

And Eleven Niang, who caught Xu Lingyi's strange gaze, was stunned in her heart.

His answer is very standard, why is Xu Lingyi not satisfied?

What went wrong?

This is not the time to pursue it, you have to find a way to divert his attention, and think about it when you are alone at night...... Anyway, during this time, he lived with a few aunts, and he could do whatever he wanted at night.

"Master Hou, do you want to discuss your resignation?" Eleven Niang's eyebrows showed worry, "After all, there is still something about the third master's release......"

Xu Lingyi looked at his wife with sincere eyes, and felt strange in his heart, but he couldn't say what was strange.

In fact, he is also thinking about it. Eleven Niang could also think of this, which made him feel a little surprised. But when she thought of the words she persuaded herself not to split up casually that day, she felt that it was reasonable...... He immediately put those painless feelings behind him and asked Eleven Niang, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Resigned and joined, these news came too suddenly. Not to mention that Eleven Niang is a little confused now, but she is not confused, she is not completely sure, and she doesn't dare to make a big statement in front of him. Moreover, she felt that with Xu Lingyi's cautious character, with her current status in his mind, she would definitely not tell herself so bluntly before the dust settled. In that case, he must have already started to work on it, and it is beginning to bear fruit. Then you just need to express your opinion ambiguously......

The thought flashed, Eleven Niang lowered her head slightly, and said with some uneasiness: "The concubine is ashamed." I didn't have any ideas at the moment. I just think that it is a great thing that Hou Ye has been on the expedition to the east and west for so many years, and now he can be at home safely......"

She said slowly, the sentence "I can be safe and stable at home now", like a spring breeze, made Xu Lingyi feel extremely comfortable, and the expression on her face became gentle.

"The concubine is just worried. Hou Ye is planning for the future of the third master wholeheartedly, and the third master is an understanding person who knows it in his heart. But the third sister-in-law is a woman after all, and she may not have the vision of the third master, so she has to explore the third sister-in-law's tone and make her satisfied. lest there be any misunderstanding and waste the good intentions of the Hou Ye in vain......"

Xu Lingyi couldn't help but nod as she listened.

"And my mother. The third master grew up beside her old man since she was a child, and now she suddenly said that she wanted to go out, and she had to find a reason that her old man could trust. Otherwise, wouldn't it make her old man sad? After the third master leaves, how should things be arranged at home? How should business be arranged? Niang is a visionary person, you discuss Niang at this time, with the foolish opinion of the concubine, there will be no mistake! ”

"Not bad!" Xu Lingyi bowed slightly, got up and put on his shoes: "It's not early, let's go over!" ”

It seems that I guessed correctly. Xu Lingyi not only had an idea a long time ago, but also started to work on it!

Eleven Niang thought about it, squatted down and went to put on Xu Lingyi's shoes.

Xu Lingyi pulled her up: "Just call the maid!" ”

The maids were all sent away, and then they specially called the maids in to put on their shoes...... What will become of it!

Eleven Niang smiled and squatted down again: "These are all trivial things, Master Hou doesn't have to care about it so much." ”

Xu Lingyi didn't insist, but his expression was a little uncomfortable, as if he was not used to it.

Eleven Niang thought about it, she really didn't squat down like this and put shoes on him.

For a moment, the room was quiet, and only the sound of the sleeves rubbing against the sleeves could be heard.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang arrived at Mrs. Tai a quarter of an hour later than usual, but they didn't expect that the third master and the third lady hadn't come yet.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but secretly guess, could it be the same as them, the two of them were discussing what to do......

A few juniors were chattering and laughing around Mrs. Tai, and when they saw the two of them coming in, they stepped forward and saluted, even Brother Zhen, not like before when he saw Xu Lingyi, he hid, followed behind Sister Zhen, and saluted his father a little awkwardly.

Xu Lingyi looked at the slight movement in his heart.

It's okay, resign from the official, and concentrate on teaching this evil obstacle at home!

Mrs. Tai didn't see her son for two days, so she hurriedly took Xu Lingyi's hand and sat on the kang: "What? Don't have to socialize? There was a smile in his eyes.

Xu Lingyi said with a smile: "How can the entertainment be over!" I'm just thinking about my mother. So didn't go out today. ”

A little maid lifted the curtain: "The fifth master and the fifth lady are here!" ”

Everyone was surprised.

The third master and the third lady who should have arrived didn't come, but the fifth master and the fifth lady who were exempt from greeting came!

Mrs. Tai also wondered: "Why did you come at this time!" Before the words fell, the fifth master and the fifth lady had already walked in with a smile.

The fifth master wore a big red silk straight jacket and a dark green carved silk crane, which made his face like a crown of jade, handsome and upright. The fifth lady wore a stone blue moon butterfly sleeve jacket, a silver-red floral skirt, and a black green silk that was simply curled with a black silk, probably because of her pregnancy, she was a little fatter than the last time she saw it, but her face was as crystal as a full moon, and her complexion was excellent.

Xu Siqin stepped forward to salute the two with a smile, and it could be seen that they had a very good relationship with this uncle.

"Oh, why don't you put on a cloak!" When Mrs. Tai saw it, she immediately instructed Mother Du on the side, "Hurry, hurry, give her my hand stove." ”

"Mother, I'm fine!" The fifth lady walked quickly to Mrs. Tai's side, "Don't believe it, you touch my hand." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai touched her hand, and saw that it was really warm, and her face was slightly pale, but she still blamed: "Even if it's not cold, you have to pay attention." He still stuffed the hand stove into the hands of the fifth lady. He added, "If there is something wrong with my mother-in-law, I will tell me." It's so late, and I'm in a hurry. What happens if you slip and fall? ”

The fifth lady looked at the fifth master and smiled, laughing so much that the fifth master's face was flushed, and he was at a loss.

"I have good news for my mother. So I'm in a hurry! ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Mrs. Tai laughed: "What good news!" ”

The fifth lady had already covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother, you are going to add a grandson again!" ”

Eleven Niang listened to the "chuckle" in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi couldn't hide her consternation, looked at the fifth lady, and then looked at the fifth master with a panicked face on the side, and anger gradually appeared between her eyebrows.

"What grandson?" Mrs. Tai's face turned a little pale, "Danyang, what did you say?" As he spoke, he held the fifth lady's hand tightly.

The fifth lady said softly: "Mother, Xiaolan has it." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at the fifth master, her eyes as sharp as knives.
