Chapter 250: Husband and wife make heart-to-heart

When Wen Yi and Liu Dongxing got into the carriage and left Shangshu Mansion, it was already sunset.

As soon as Liu Dongxing got in the car, he couldn't hold back anymore and laughed. Wen Yi was worried that the subordinates of Shangshu Mansion would gossip when they heard it, so she hurriedly ordered Wang Xiaoer to drive away, and whispered to remind Liu Dongxing.

Liu Dongxing said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of?" I've never dealt with their family, I've almost torn my face, I don't laugh, they won't say a good word about me, why should I wronged myself? ”

Wen Yi said: "I'm not asking you to wronged yourself, I'm just asking you to laugh slowly, and I'll talk about it when I get back to our house." You treat them politely for a few days, although they won't say a good word about you, but the people of Shangshufu and people outside will think that you are a good person when they see it. As long as you take the name of righteousness, no matter how much their family slanders you, others will not believe it. ”

Liu Dongxing was thoughtful, silent for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "Lady, I really underestimated you before, it turns out that the lady also has such great wisdom, a few words, the second aunt can't speak, she is so angry that she trembles, but she has nothing to say." I was worried that if you stayed at home alone after the expedition, you would ask her to find an excuse to bully her, but now I am much more relieved. ”

Wen Yi sighed secretly in her heart, she naturally knew that Liu Dongxing was worried about this matter, otherwise she would not have been sharp on the second day after entering the door, so that Liu Dongxing would know that she was not a dough person who could be manipulated by others, and it was not impossible to deal with the second aunt Liu Gu. He's going to war, so how can she make him feel uneasy? It's just that she hasn't forgotten her original intention: "Xianggong, this kind of thing can't be said to be great wisdom, it can only be said to be small wisdom." Although the second aunt's words are not popular, they are not completely unreasonable. Fortunately, there were no outsiders present at the time, otherwise I would have been criticized for doing so. I didn't want to use such a method, but the second aunt deceived people too much, this first time I saw the gift, if I took a step back, I would be completely suppressed by her in the future, and even the subordinates of Shangshufu would look down on me a little. This matter is related to the decency of the minister, how can I tolerate it? "Her husband is not a person who only knows how to swallow his anger.

Only then did Liu Dongxing understand that he was a little moved in his heart. Looking at his wife's actions today, it is indeed very different from her usual gentleness and dignity, and he also said that he didn't know enough about her, but he didn't expect that she was for herself.

He reached out and gently shook Wen Yi's hand.

Wen Yi's heart was warm, she gently put her hand on his shoulder, and said softly: "Don't look at the second aunt today, I am so angry that I can't refute it, even the second uncle doesn't believe her, it seems that I have a good breath of evil, but such a little cleverness, even making a pair harmless, is not the right way after all." If we want to cut off the road of slander in the second room, we must be thoughtful in front of outsiders, and we must also show great benevolence and righteousness, loyalty and filial piety, so that no matter what the people in their family say to us, outsiders will not believe it. The second uncle has been an official in the court for many years, and his official reputation is still passable, because the second aunt acted inappropriately, and he was also affected, but others will only say that he is not strict in governing the family, failed to restrain his wife, and even had bad luck to marry a bad wife, but he will not suspect that he himself is a person with bad virtues, which shows how important this reputation is. When Xianggong first entered the court, he was not well-known, that is, someone knew that you had been wronged, and they would not accuse the court of being a scholar for you, even if someone did this, most of them were not to give Xianggong a head. But if the second uncle accuses Xianggong of being rude, there will always be people who believe that he will look down on Xianggong from now on, wouldn't it be a mistake for your future? Therefore, the prime minister should be cautious, especially when outsiders are present, don't let the second room take the handle, if they are really careless, so that they find a loophole, but also come up with a reason to explain, occupy the name of righteousness. ”

Liu Dongxing was convinced when he heard it, and when he remembered the losses he had suffered over the years, he couldn't help but hate it. The reason why he lost his position as the eldest and was regarded by outsiders as a son of the side branch of the Liu family, and even became an adulterous son with an improper name and bad words in the eyes of some people, is it not because the second uncle Liu was restored to the throne and had high power, and few people in the clan could oppose him? If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few old people in the clan who remembered the righteous deeds of their grandmothers in the past, insisted on the difference between the eldest and the youngest, and did not allow the second uncle to touch the family tree, I am afraid that his current situation would be even more unbearable. And he originally thought that after getting the help of the General Political Division, and after being awarded the Wujin Shi and the official position, he would be able to raise his eyebrows. As a result, after he asked for the document of his father's edict to be handed over, the Ministry of Rites gave the edict and the crown and costume together, and no one said a word about his life experience, not even the imperial history platform, which really disappointed him. What's even more excessive is that if Wen Yi hadn't asked his mother's room for help, he wouldn't have known that the Year of the Monkey would have been issued.

Power, status, and fame are so important. If a person is in a high position, even if he commits something against propriety, others will treat him as not seeing it.

Seeing that he was silent and a little uneasy, Wen Yi looked up at him, and saw that there was a hint of resentment in his eyes, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and hurriedly called him: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing." Liu Dongxing put his arms around her, gently rested his chin on her head, and said lightly, "I will definitely get ahead in the future, what if he is a book?" He's old and will retire one day, and I, with a lot of good things to look forward to, will one day call him ......"

The more Wen Yi listened to it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and her words seemed to be very different from her original intention. She hurriedly straightened up, looked at him and said, "Xianggong, don't let the resentment in your heart sway you." I don't want you to be rich and rich in the future, but I want you to live a safe life and grow old with me. As for the second room, haven't you already made a decision? We don't have to compete with him for the position of patriarch, as long as we live our lives well, our mother-in-law, father-in-law and mother-in-law will be able to rest assured in the heavenly spirits. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I naturally know this truth." ”

But Wen Yi can't rest assured, she will never forget that in her previous life, Liu Gu's family recalled the situation when Zhuang proposed marriage for Liu Dongxing, when Liu Dongxing came back from the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, he had military merits, officials and lords, and even the second room of the Liu family had to be vigilant, but he was injured and even disabled...... Wen Yi shuddered, unable to tolerate such an encounter befalling him again, still when he knew what would happen in the future.

She couldn't care about being shy anymore, opened her arms and hugged Liu Dongxing tightly, and buried her head in his arms. Liu Dongxing was stunned for a moment, his expression was surprised, but he soon showed a gentle look: "What's wrong?" Don't be afraid, I know how to measure. ”

"You have to take care of yourself." Wen Yi said in a sullen voice, "Please don't forget what promises you made to me on your wedding night yesterday." The future of the official position may be really important, but ...... Which is more important, the future of the official position or his own peace and joy, the prime minister must think clearly...... In order to fight for a good future, he fought the second room down, and sacrificed his own peace and Kangtai, maybe at that time...... Xianggong doesn't feel anything, but when you really lose it, it's too late to regret it...... I believe that neither my mother-in-law, my father-in-law nor my mother-in-law will want to see my father-in-law end up like that......"

Liu Dongxing was surprised, first stunned, and then felt a little abnormal, hurriedly reached out to gently lift her face, faced herself, saw that she didn't know how when, she had shed two lines of tears, and couldn't help but feel pain and shame in her heart, hugged her and said: "It's me who is wrong, good lady, I shouldn't make you uneasy." Don't worry......" His eyes lit up, "In order to take revenge on those sluts, I have to bury my good life, so I'm not so confused"

Wen Yi lay in his arms, listening to his heartbeat that gradually calmed down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, the husband and wife had freshened up, and when they were about to go to bed, Liu Dongxing took a box with a red flower brocade on a black background out of nowhere and handed it to Wen Yi.

Wen Yi took it, felt a little heavy, and saw a small lock hanging on it, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "What is this?" ”

Liu Dongxing directly took out a key from the small brocade bag and put it in the palm of her hand: "Open it and take a look?" ”

Wen Yi tilted her head, and suddenly realized a little, so she opened the box with the key, and saw that there were two large sets of keys inside, adding up to more than a dozen, so she smiled and said, "Are these all the keys to the house?" What are you doing in the box? When you want to use it, do you have to open a special box to get it? It's too inconvenient. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "You obviously guessed what this thing is, but you want to pretend to be stupid, don't your grandmother teach you, right?" I remember when I was a child, it was common for my mother to know what was wrong with my father and came up with a way to deal with it, but she would deliberately pretend not to know, try to get my father to come up with a way to do it himself, and then praise him for being smart. My father was always happy, but afterwards he could always find out what his mother had done, pretending not to know, but privately telling me that if I had a wife like this, I should cherish my blessings. It's just that I don't like this, the wife is smart, which is the blessing of the husband, so why do you have to pretend to be a fool? ”

It was the first time Wen Yi heard about the rank of her father-in-law and mother-in-law before her death, and she was a little happy, but she still had to show modesty: "I really don't know, I just guessed that Xing might be the key to the family's treasury, but looking at this amount, it doesn't seem right, so I asked you." This is different from my parents-in-law, no matter how smart I am, I can't just look at these keys and guess what they are for, right? Don't worry about it, tell me. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled, sat down at the head of the bed, put his arm around her shoulder, and talked to her in detail.

Among these keys, there are indeed warehouses, but there are also large cabinets in the main room. Where are the large pieces of valuable furniture, where are the ornaments, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, where are the gold, silver and copper coins, where are the silver tickets, where are the land deeds, the house deeds, where are the slaves and maids of the subordinates...... There are all kinds of explanations. Liu Dongxing also personally pulled her, put on a coat, came to the Dongnuan Pavilion, opened the door lock of a low cabinet on the kang, took out the four black lacquer boxes inside, showed her the gold and silver jewelry and scattered jewelry, and said: "This was originally collected by me on weekdays, thinking that I would give you jewelry in the future, but now it is handed over to you. ”

Wen Yi smiled and closed the box, put it back in its place, locked the door, and said to him: "Xianggong said clearly, I have counted the money in the family, and I will take care of this family in the future, you go to Northern Xinjiang, and you don't have to worry about your family." ”

Liu Dongxing sighed, hugged her and slowly returned to the room, and continued: "Other than that, there are other things...... Many of the people in the family are from Shangshufu, and you know that there must be people who can't be trusted. For example, the horse has two rich families, and their children are just returned, but the couple are the second aunt's. I didn't know it until a few days ago, when the second aunt came to the door to take Shu Bo, and after I came back, I checked it, and I found out that they secretly went back to Shangshu Mansion to tell the secret, otherwise the second aunt would not know that those antiques were in the hands of Shu Bo and Mama. It's a pity that there is no evidence, otherwise I would have chased people out of the way. And you keep an eye on them, and as soon as you catch them, you will clear them out and save you trouble. Also, there is a small guy named Gu Wang in the outer courtyard, although he bought it from outside, but there is always something wrong with it, my big brother Toluo has checked, he and Shangshufu are not all the way, but they want to get ahead, so they are deeply envious of the wealth of Shangshufu, and they intend to cling to the Luo family, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be sold for profit in the future, you also have to be careful. Again, it's the girls in the house, those honest ones don't care, and the others don't know if they have any unsavory thoughts, it's your own dowry, and you can't take it lightly......"

Wen Yi chuckled lightly and quipped: "It turns out that the butler of Xianggong also has a hand, but he is much more capable than me." ”

Liu Dongxing looked at her helplessly: "Don't be impatient, I'm really not at ease, I think that after I leave, you will have to face so many troubles alone......"

Wen Yi interrupted him: "In the past, when my Gu family's six-room was in decline, how could I never have encountered troubles? Little by little, it was all straightened out. Although I have arrived at a new home now, we have an independent door, and there is no name in the second room to interfere in everything, and I am the head of the house, and no one can overshadow me, so I don't know how to deal with a few restless people? I also don't want to meet them in general, and if I think it's not good, and it's still tolerable, I will be degraded to the outer court, and if I don't know what is wrong, I will send it to Zhuangzi to dry him for a few years, and if it is really unusable, I will sell it to others. Although my method of governing the family is quite kind, I am not bullied. ”

Liu Dongxing was still not at ease: "You don't know how powerful some Diao slaves are......"

"Have you really never seen the world?" Wen Yi felt a little funny, she had lived for two lifetimes, and she may not have done it herself, but she didn't listen to the selfishness in the mansion gate, if she really wanted to be ruthless, what couldn't she do? She comforted Liu Dongxing softly: "Don't worry, I also said just now, if you want to fight for a reputation of benevolence and righteousness, when outsiders are all admired, no matter how you deal with your subordinates, how they slander us outside, outsiders will not believe it." Speaking of this, she remembered a trivial matter, so she blinked narrowly: "I suddenly remembered a person, today in Shangshu Mansion, the girl with the curtain in the second aunt's house, it seems that something is wrong?" Could it be ...... What does she have against you? ”

Liu Dongxing cleared his throat: "That's it...... My second aunt wanted to ask me to take her in, but I refused, so she naturally didn't want to see us. It's just an ant, you don't have to take it personally. ”

"Oh......" Wen Yi's eyes rolled, "Then let's ...... I don't know which one the prime minister can fall into? I'm not a domineering person......" A fierce gleam flashed in his eyes.

Liu Dongxing looked at the sky wordlessly, simply picked her up, and pressed her to the bed: "I only have a fancy for you, please be domineering, in fact, I prefer that ......".
