Chapter 669: Big Fat
When Liu heard the people coming and going, he thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
"What do you say? Are you sure you sent this prayer note to Mrs. Ning? ”
"Madam, the slave didn't see Mrs. Ning.
The prayer post was brought in by the porter, and then the servant woman beside Mrs. Ning said back and forth.
said that during this time, there was something at home and I couldn't entertain guests. ”
The subordinates are also a little aggrieved, and the relationship between his wife and Mrs. Ning was okay before.
When he went to pay his respects for his wife, the porter of Naning Mansion would invite him to the side hall to drink a cup of hot tea and fruit snacks.
But this time, the porter looked at him with a look that was obviously wrong.
Not to mention hot tea, fruit and dim sum, he didn't even let him in at the gate.
He muttered a little in his heart, could it be that Madame offended that Mrs. Ning?
It's just that such a guess, how dare he be a subordinate in front of his wife.
When Liu heard the words of his subordinates, he immediately frowned.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that I did hear that Mrs. Ning's mother-in-law came to Saibei City.
So, this is because Wang has to serve her mother-in-law, so she has no time to entertain herself?
If usually, when I heard Wang say this, Liu would definitely forget it, and wait for a while.
However, when I thought of what I promised to Mrs. Xue.
and Mrs. Xue's promise to herself, Liu's heart was hot.
You must know that the Xue family is a big family, and the branch is in the capital.
And Lord Xue, who is now in Saibei City, is the eldest son of the current Yanzhi family.
It's just that this eldest son is not very popular in the house.
Otherwise, he would not have been sent to this bitter cold place to be a military attache from the fourth grade.
Just because of his identity, it is really embarrassing, it is from the former wife of the head of the Xue family.
And the current Mrs. Xue is her stepwife, and she is also Lord Xue's aunt.
The head of the Xue family will marry his wife and sister as his stepwife, so naturally he doesn't want to cut off the help of his wife's mother's family.
If you say that at the beginning, Lord Xue's grandfather's family was still a little sincere to him.
But after his aunt got married and gave birth to several children in a row, the scales in Lord Xue's grandfather's house tilted towards his aunt.
After all, the son of a deceased wife, the head of the Xue family doesn't stay in the backyard every day, and after a long time, no one mentions it in his ear, where does he remember?
After all, the wife who married later, as well as the group of concubines in the backyard, gave birth to children, and it was not nothing.
Coupled with the wind blowing in the ears of his stepwife who shared the same bed, the head of the Xue family paid less attention to this eldest son.
Lord Xue can say that he completely relied on himself to live in the Xue family and slowly grew up.
Because of the existence of his aunt, his stepmother, he can't take the path of a civil official at all.
After all, every time he asked for a gentleman to teach him, there would always be some moths.
Once and twice, it reached the ears of the head of the Xue family, and he felt that this eldest son had a backbone, and those gentlemen couldn't teach him at all.
Lord Xue could only grit his teeth and turn his head to learn martial arts.
At the beginning, the head of the Xue family was very disgusted with his eldest son's martial arts.
After all, the Xue family is also a scholarly family in the capital.
Such a vulgar thing as learning martial arts, that's what martial artists do.
However, after Lord Xue's martial arts move, the attitude of the head of the Xue family towards Lord Xue changed slightly.
After all, Lord Xue got an official position by virtue of his own ability, which did not hurt the Xue family.
The attitude of the head of the Xue family towards this son has changed, which has also aroused the jealousy of Lord Xue's aunt.
tried his best to get Lord Xue to leave the capital.
It just so happened that Lord Xue didn't want to stay in the capital and was under the control of his stepmother.
So, by the hand of his stepmother, he married the daughter of his boss, and then took this opportunity to collect the dowry left by his mother after his death.
Then, he turned his head to show his loyalty to the first emperor and was willing to go to the bitter cold Saibei City to guard the border city.
In the past ten years in Saibei City, Lord Xue can be said to have done nothing.
However, he also slowly climbed to the position of the middle general from the fourth grade.
Of course, this is also the result of his father-in-law giving him strength in the capital.
This is also why, in the more than ten years in Saibei, there are only two sons and one daughter in his backyard, and he doesn't say anything.
After all, he still has to rely on his father-in-law to promote!
It's just that he knows this in his own heart.
As long as his wife doesn't step on his bottom line, he will turn a blind eye to what she does.
And Lord Xue can know so quickly that the eldest niece of Dingyuan General Ning Youshou was canonized as a concubine and gave birth to a dragon for His Majesty, naturally because of his old father-in-law's flying pigeon to pass the message.
At the beginning, Lord Xue was able to be promoted so quickly because he married the daughter of his boss.
Now, as long as he can get involved with the Ning family, he is related to the in-laws.
At that time, as long as Concubine Ning is in His Majesty's ear, blow the pillow wind.
Are you still afraid that you won't be able to rise and return to the capital?
As long as he returns to Beijing, at that time, who will be in charge of the Xue family, maybe it's really uncertain!
And Liu's husband is a side branch of the Xue family, and it just so happens that Lord Xue is in the capital, and his mother's dowry shop manor and fields need a trustworthy person to deal with them.
Liu's husband was sharpening his head and wanted to show it in front of Lord Xue.
After learning about Lord Xue's thoughts, he naturally instigated his wife to show his face in front of Mrs. Xue, and it was better to be familiar.
As long as she can coax Mrs. Xue to be happy, maybe the chores in the capital will be handed over to her husband.
For the Xue family of the Yan Branch, the dowry of Lord Xue's mother is really nothing.
But in the eyes of the Liu couple on the side branch, it was a big piece of fat!
Let's not mention anything else, if you touch the fat, can you still not rub the oil in your hand?
The income of these industries, as long as the fingers are a little looser, the couple can get a lot of benefits.
Therefore, Wang refused Liu's visit, how could Liu be willing.
To this day, Liu still thinks that the main reason why Wang is reluctant to entertain her is probably because her mother-in-law is difficult to get.
After all, the Wang family is all born with mud legs.
And her mother-in-law is even more of a mud leg among mud legs.
Although Emperor Dexian was given the title of a county lord, as long as the Liu family thought of the appearance of those country wives she had seen in the countryside, she had no good impression of this Shouning county lord.
This Shouning County Lord may be in private, and he doesn't know how to torture his daughter-in-law!
That's why Wang Shi was so scared and didn't dare to entertain himself.
Ning Pengpeng didn't know that someone was smearing her behind her back.
The two grandsons went out to have a good time, she rested enough, and naturally she didn't want to stay in the house every day.
I thought that the cotton grown in the Zhuangzi here was of better quality than the cotton grown in the Zhuangzi in Nanyue Province.
Therefore, Ning Pengpeng thought about it, so he asked Wang to take him to Zhuangzi to have a look.
Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
