"It's Xiao Jiu."

Xiao's confession made Liu Shaoqing gasp: "I thought that the lady was initially thinking about marrying Qi Niang or Jiu Niang to Xiao Jiu. ”

"To be precise, it is Qi Niang, Liu and Xiao are two families of the same family, although Xiao Jiu is not the eldest child, but because of his talent and intelligence, he has to be more valued, but the sister-in-law also said that if Xiao Jiu is allowed to marry Qi Niang, then Shilang's future wife will not necessarily look forward to the eldest daughter of the sect?" Xiao Shilang is the eldest son of the sect, and he will be the wife of the clan in the future, but Jingzhao Xiao is in-law with the Liu family, and he more or less understands that the situation at this time is extraordinary, Shilang's qualifications are mediocre, and he is enough, but he has no ability to lead the family to go further, and the Xiao family does not have this ambition, and it is only right to seek stability when the situation is unpredictable, so it has been budgeted for the eldest grandson of the clan to marry the daughter of the clan who is not prominent but has a solid foundation...... Naturally, there are some hidden dangers.

"Not to mention Jiu Niang, and Xiao Jiu are a pair of living enemies, once the two meet, they have no good words for each other, and they insist on matchmaking, won't they be a pair of resentful couples in the future? Sister-in-law is also in trouble, don't look at Xiao Jiu's young age at this time, her eyes are too high to the top has already appeared, that is, to the daughters of her sister-in-law's mother's family, her mouth is also ruthless, not to mention closeness, she is afraid of it, she only says that she is afraid of being smoked by rouge and ignorance, which really makes people cry and laugh...... Only Eleven Niang is an exception. When Xiao said this, his expression was finally a little soothed: "Sister-in-law doesn't care that Eleven Niang is a concubine, and Auntie is even more happy to see this marriage, just because Eleven Niang is too young at this time, and then ......" Xiao hesitated, and finally chose to say bluntly to her husband: "I intended to praise Yiyi in front of the Ah family, and I planned for her to register the family tree in the future, but I don't want to ...... it now." The A family values Eleven Niang, but it makes me worried, and even asked me to take Eleven Niang to ask for the face of Ling Xutianshi, this is not ordinary, I'm afraid it is...... It's also me who is selfish, thinking of Sister Jiang Ji, one of them lost their lives for my sister, and the other was because of my negligence...... Ah Jiang only has the blood of Eleven Niang, and I don't want to see her encounter hardships. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Shi is not without guilt: "It's always me who is selfish, knowing that my family is facing a critical juncture, and thinking about it, it is still my own children's safety." ”

But before waiting for her husband to comfort her, Xiao Shi returned to the topic: "Qi Niang's heart is like this, I only hope that she can stay away from right and wrong and live a stable life...... Han and Cen families, both for the Jiangnan surname, especially the Han family, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is a person from Fuyang Han, although the Fuyang Han family has not produced high-ranking officials and nobles since the past three dynasties, no longer the prestige of the year, but there is no lack of eunuchs in the clan, has been stable, the family is rich, Cen Niang has a gentle temperament, easy to get along, the eldest son heard that it has been Ming Jing and the first, the younger son is more diligent and victorious, and will not worry about entering the office in the future, I think about it again and again, although Qi Niang is a low marriage, the lintel is not to the disparity, Jiangnan is a rich realm, The only disadvantage is that it is far away, and in today's situation, it is beneficial. ”

Liu Shaoqing couldn't refute it, and only said in a snort: "Qi Niang is still young after all......"

"It's not that she should leave the cabinet immediately, but it's just a matter of family affairs first, she is the eldest sister, and the marriage is decided, so I can think about Jiuniang and Eleven Niang."

At this time, Liu Shaoqing had nothing to say, so he had to agree: "I will let people inquire about it, but Xiao Jiu and Eleven Niang...... These two children are also too young, and besides, Xiao Jiu really has a heavy Yue family, and Eleven Niang is a concubine after all...... Lady, you still need to think about this. ”

Liu Shaoqing actually understands his mother's wishes, and is more inclined to Jiuniang and gradually enter the marriage, between the children, there are some quarrels when they are young, and they are not deeply hated, where can they assert "resentment and resentment", and his uncle is far from being as stable as his wife thinks, and he hopes that Xiao Jiu can glorify his ancestors, and how can he tolerate this "family glory" to marry a concubine, and the wife considers more of the wishes of her sister-in-law and mother-in-law, I am afraid that she will neglect her brother's thoughts.

Xiao Shi also understood that it was too early to talk about the marriage of Eleven Niang at this time, and the variables were not known, so he simply said: "Let's take care of Ke Ke first, Liu Lang has to be careful, no matter how good Cen Niang is, if her young son is not right, she can't wronged Qi Niang." ”

Regarding this, Liu Shaoqing patted his chest and assured - it was inevitable.

Secretly competing in his heart, the kid from the Han family heard that the calligraphy was good, but he didn't know how good it was? If he, the "father-in-law", can't look down on it, he will definitely not give it cheaply, hmph, if he wants to marry his daughter, it's not so easy!

Liu Shaoqing was thinking about it, and finally did not forget the "original intention", at this time, seeing that there were no servants and maids beside him, he became more and more unserious, and the whole person had to press on Xiao's body, almost holding his beloved wife's earlobe and speaking: "Ah Xing, how long have I not tasted the soup prepared by your own hands, it is so easy to be idle today, it is better to ......"

Xiao Shi didn't have the leisure to do so, and ruthlessly pushed away the husband: "Bai Ji has been full for a long time, Lang Jun has not been there, he is free today, he should visit, although there are baboons now, after all, he is still thin......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Shaoqing had already changed color, turned over and sat up, and squeezed his fists for a while, but he never wanted to embarrass his wife, and endured dozens of endurances before he reluctantly said: "Okay, I'll go see Yiyi." "I didn't even go back to Xuxiao Hall.

Xiao Shi knew that his words were quite disappointing, but he didn't keep his husband, he only watched the obviously negative back go away, and then fell sideways on the couch.

Said eleven Niang, at this time was accompanied by his sisters Mrs. Wei had dinner, and when she was talking and laughing, she heard Liu Shaoqing come to the province, and the younger generations were surprised - Mrs. Wei has always been trouble-free, not to mention children and grandchildren, even the two daughters-in-law of Xiao's Qiao family, and did not let them serve at the meal, although several granddaughters are eating in Xuxiaotang, but they are only accompanying their grandmothers, and they have their own servants and maids to wait, and they don't pay much attention to those pomp, which also causes the Liujun brothers to discuss things with each other, and they will not come to Xuxiaotang to "bother" when they are idle, but they want to rest in peace. Liu Shaoqing actually came to Xuxiaotang, which is a rare thing.

Liu Zhen took the lead in asking for resignation, but Eleven Niang still wanted to stay here to watch because of curiosity, and she didn't want to leave early, Mrs. Wei didn't pay attention to it originally, but when Liu Shaoqing entered, she didn't say anything serious for a long time, but only sat there with a depressed face, and Mrs. Wei finally sent Eleven Niang away.

Eleven Niang's guess - could it be that because Qi Niang was punished, Liu Shaoqing and Xiao had a conflict? No, Liu Shaoqing was obviously very sympathetic to the Xiao family, but when she left, she still couldn't help but look back at the "Aya" description, that is, because of her concerned look, which caused Mrs. Wei to smile at the corner of her lips.

However, when all the idlers retreated, Mrs. Wei's smile was retracted, without solemnity, only a long sigh: "Jun'er, I know, I have burdened you." ”

Liu Shaoqing immediately swallowed the original depressed pawn, and said with confusion: "Mother's words, my son will never dare to take responsibility. ”

Mrs. Wei shook her head: "There are no outsiders here, our mother and son should be friends, Jun'er, you are idle because of my involvement, what kind of four-grade high-ranking official, that is not what you expect." ”

Mrs. Tai's words can be regarded as the middle of Liu Shaoqing's wound, he has been taught by his mother since he was a child, and he never dared to indulge, and there are two half-brothers in front of him, and he did not dare to relax a little, the honor of the top of the fifteen jinshi list is not all because of his talent, but more factors are acquired efforts, but even if he gets this high name, Liu Junyi has never been proud and frivolous, he does not want to be like his father with music and dance to please the emperor easily to obtain high-ranking officials, and he is more willing to go out to the state capital, and he is really starting from a low level, understanding the people's livelihood and suffering under the decree, It's a worthwhile study.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't escape the "shortcut", and suddenly jumped from the post of county magistrate.

The disparity in promotion is not based on the official system, Liu Shaoqing is naturally despised, jealous and hateful, he was really depressed for a time, and he almost wanted to simply resign to clarify his intentions, but after all, for the sake of family honor and disgrace, he had to endure and play this corpse vegetarian meal.

In order to confuse the Queen Mother, her mother had to sacrifice him and "Zhang Xian" her brother, just because the two brothers were not born to their mother, and in the Queen Mother's opinion, it was more likely to be instigated and used.

However, Liu Shaoqing has no complaints, and even rejoices, so much, he doesn't have to pretend to be subservient and humble in front of the Queen Mother, even if he finally breaks off his career, it is not a big deal, a good man, the original ambition is not together, if you have free time to study the scriptures and history, the book is passed on, it is even more than self-reliance, and it is not considered to be abandoned.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Shaoqing not only complained, but also showed a sincere fear that was different from the past: "Mother is about to take a break like this, compared with the two brothers, my son is not much easier, fortunately he is still insufficient, why not mention grievances?" Be ashamed to be right. ”

Mrs. Wei didn't think that her son was depressed because of his career, but she felt more relieved when she heard this, but suddenly changed her tone: "I owe you a lot, and there is only one thing, which is to ask for you to marry Xingzhou. ”
