18 Chapter 18

The atmosphere at the table was awkward, Xu Mu smiled and picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Tang Zitang.

Xu Mu raised his glass and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, we haven't seen each other for two months last time, and this time we have become brothers-in-law, I should also call you a second brother-in-law." Xu Mu solemnly shouted: "Second brother-in-law, I salute you and the second sister with this glass of wine, and I wish you husband and wife love and grow old." ”

Xu Mu's words seem to be blessings, but they are really invisibly reminding Tang Zitang that he has already made a marriage with Wang Yufang, and some people are destined to be impossible and should not be watched.

Wang Yufang forced a smile and picked up the wine glass.

Tang Zitang had come back to his senses when Xu Mu spoke, and he picked up the wine glass uncomfortably, and the three of them touched it and drank it all.

Tang Zitang was bitter in his heart, if it weren't for Wang Yueling's lotus pond falling into the water and ruining his innocence, the person he is now marrying should be her.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, Tang Zitang drank several glasses of wine in a row, and Wang Yufang hurriedly dissuaded him on the side: "Brother Zitang, drinking hurts your body, you drink less." ”

Tang Zitang just wanted to get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows: "It's okay." ”

Wang Yufang's eyes were red, he didn't pay attention to her words at all, he only had the little fox spirit Wang Yueling in his eyes.

Tian Tian was relieved by Xu Mu, and his heart was finally relaxed.

The table returned to its previous liveliness, Tang Zitang kept pouring himself wine, the people at the table took turns to salute, and when it was Tian Tian's turn, Xu Mu directly helped her block the wine, and did not give Tang Zitang and Tian Tian a chance to talk at all.

After three rounds of drinking, Tang Zitang drank a lot, the whole person was drunk and confused, when he was drunk, he was bold, and he looked at Tian Tian vaguely before, but now he is bright and bright, and he does not shy away from looking at it.

Wang Yufang glared at Tian Tian jealously, tears fell straight down, as if Tian Tian was ten heinous sinners, and did something hurtful to heaven and reason, if his eyes could kill people, Tian Tian didn't know how many times he died.

Tian Tian's whole person is not good, Wang Yufang is simply unreasonable, it is Tang Zitang staring at her, what is wrong with her, why is she full of hatred towards her.

Tian Tian and Wang Yufang have nothing to do with each other, after this congratulations, they will return to Changping in a few days, she doesn't care about Wang Yufang at all, what she cares about is Xu Mu, looking at the past worriedly, he is still a light and breezy, so people can't see his thoughts, too indifferent.

This expression made Tian Tian even more worried, Xu Mucheng's mansion was too deep, the more expressionless he was, the bigger the problem. She didn't want to let her hard-earned goodwill disappear because of an inconsequential Tang Zitang.

Tian Tian straightened up and said that he was unwell, and said goodbye and left.

Now that Tang Zitang is unscrupulous, she can only retreat first.

The prefect's wife saw all this, and happily let Tian Tian leave, and told her to have a good rest.

Tian Tian returned to Yangliu Courtyard, Aunt Liu was still waiting for her, and her heart was warm: "Mother, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" ”

Aunt Liu pulled her daughter to the house: "Hey, why did you come back first, son-in-law?" ”

"He's still drinking with Daddy." Tian Tian didn't tell Aunt Liu about the things at the dinner table, for fear that she would be worried if she heard it.

Aunt Liu said she understood.

Tian Tian held Aunt Liu's hand affectionately: "Mother, Ling'er wants to sleep with you tonight, it's rare for our mother and daughter to see each other, and it's good to talk about yourself." ”

Aunt Liu hesitated, she also wanted to sleep with her daughter, but her daughter is now married and her son-in-law is also there, if she sleeps with her, leave her son-in-law aside and no one to serve her, how can this be done.

"No, the son-in-law still needs someone to serve him, and he can't leave anyone."

Tian Tian sighed helplessly, what did he need to serve? They didn't live together when they were in Changping County, but that's obviously not the right thing to say.

"Mother, it's just one night, it's okay."

"Nope." Aunt Liu insisted.

Tian Tian had no choice but to give up.

*

Tian Tian and Aunt Liu chatted in the house for a while, and then Aunt Liu drove back to their residence.

Aunt Liu is also for Tian Tian's good, she wants her to go back and wait for Xu Mu as soon as possible, if Xu Mu goes back, she is still in her room, and it is really unreasonable to let her husband wait for his wife.

Tian Tian returned to her residence, Xu Mu was still in the main courtyard, she bathed and washed, and told Xianglan to go to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of decanting soup.

Half an hour later, Xu Mu was helped back by Zhou Nan, drunk, full of alcohol, he just came in, the smell of wine on his body filled the whole room, Tian Tian frowned and asked Zhou Nan to help him to the bed.

Zhou Nan skillfully helped Xu Mu take off his shoes and moved him to the bed to lie down.

Tian Tian instructed Xianglan: "Go and bring the warm decanting soup." ”

"Yes." Pandan nodded.

Zhou Nan stood aside and waited: "Madam, the slave will go out first, what do you command, just call a small one." ”

Tian Tian said directly: "Don't go out yet, the adult has drunk a lot of wine tonight, wait for you to help him scrub his body." ”

The wife should do this kind of thing by herself, but Zhou Nan knew that the adult and the lady did not have a round house, and the lady should not be able to wipe off the face.

"Yes, the minion is going to prepare hot water."

Tian Tian nodded.

Zhou Nan bowed and retreated.

Pandan came in with a decanting soup.

"Ma'am, the sobering soup is here."

Tian Tian took it, took a small spoon and stirred it in the bowl to confirm that the temperature was moderate: "You half help the adult up, he should be better to feed while sitting." ”

"Yes." Xianglan hurriedly did so, and struggled to help Xu Muban up and sit.

Xu Mu was drunk, it was not that he didn't wake up, Tian Tian said a few words in front of him, and he drank the sobering soup very cooperatively.

Zhou Nan came to hot water, Tian Tian and Xianglan went out, and gave the house to Zhou Nan alone.

After a while, Zhou Nan came out of breath.

Tian Tian asked him, "Have you already helped the adults scrub it?" ”

Zhou Nan shook his head: "Mrs. Hui, the lord drank too much wine tonight, and the slave helped him wipe his body, he was extremely annoyed and unwilling to cooperate, and the slave couldn't do anything." Khan was in a hurry, but the master was unwilling, he was really powerless.

Tian Tian sighed: "Okay, let's go down and rest." Xu Mu was unwilling, and she didn't dare to force it.

When I walked into the house again, I was greeted by a strong smell of alcohol, and the closer I got to the bed, the stronger the smell became.

Tian Tian frowned and looked at the handsome man on the bed with a flushed face and motionless, the smell was so stinky that she had to smoke to death if she slept with him at night. But if you go to sleep on a small couch outside, the disgust is too obvious, Xu Mu will know that he will be unhappy tomorrow, tonight's matter of Tang Zitang has already made people's heads big, and he must not be offended at this time, otherwise it will only make things worse and worse.

Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, she and Xu Mu have a good relationship now, but they can't lose a lot because of a small thing, and they can't make a mistake in the task.

Tian Tian took a deep breath and went to bed to lie beside Xu Mu.

The candles in the house were bright, Tian Tian opened his eyes and had no intention of sleeping.

*

The next day, Tian Tian got up early to ask the prefect's wife to say goodbye, the husband and wife were harmonious, after asking for peace, Xu Mu had something to do, and let Tian Tian go back to Yangliu Courtyard alone.

After Xu Mu came to Yuzhou, his busy feet did not touch the ground, unless there was an important event or banquet, it was difficult to see others, Tian Tian was used to it, and let him go.

Today's sky is clear, the sky is deep blue, the beauty is intoxicating, the sun shines on people warmly, Tian Tian didn't want to live up to this good day, and decided to take a stroll in the garden.

Xianglan followed behind Tian Tian and couldn't help muttering: "Adults are too busy, and I won't accompany you." ”

Tian Tian doesn't care, his busy feet don't touch the ground, it's nothing more than settling with the people he wants to slap in Yuzhou, and expand his contacts for himself to be used in the future. Moreover, his movements, the prefect of the king also knows, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

It's hard to get out for a trip, of course, and have a good time.

"Xianggong is a serious matter, how can I delay his business because of a trivial matter." Tian Tian said high-sounding.

Xianglan was a little angry: "Where is the adult, what is the matter, it is clear that he is going to give gifts, the slave maid heard that the adults gave gifts to the people in the house yesterday, and even some subordinates took care of it." "The adults have time to entertain the subordinates, but they have no time to accompany the lady, the lady's status is noble, how can it be compared to a group of subordinates, and the adults are too insignificant.

Tian Tian scolded her: "Shut up, don't talk about the master." "Woe comes from the mouth, be careful.

"Yes." Xianglan's voice was low, and she was aggrieved for her wife.

Tian Tian sighed helplessly, Xianglan was loyal and honest, she couldn't bear to be harsh too much, so she would leave it to go back to Changping and teach again.

"Let's go to Merlin."

"Yes."

Wang Zhifu is a tyrant in Yuzhou, has scavenged countless people's fat and people's ointment, and is very good at enjoying, the garden in the house is unique, there are flowers in spring, pines and cypresses in summer, fruit trees in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter.

As soon as the master and servant arrived in Merlin, they were greeted by a sea of red flowers, which was beautiful.

Xianglan was about to speak, and Merlin came from a faint voice, which was about Xu Mu.

Tian Tian motioned to Xianglan not to speak, and the master and servant walked gently towards Merlin.

The closer you go, the clearer the voice becomes, it is two female voices, and from the timbre, it should be the voice of Wang Yufang and her personal maid Chunxing.

"Miss, the slave maid heard that as soon as the third aunt came to Yuzhou, he was busy currying favor with the people in the house, and even the subordinates in the house also got a lot of benefits from him, especially the personal attendants around the master, he was extremely eager, and he hated to treat them as masters. He gloated outside of his words, and even couldn't help laughing out loud.

Chunxing's move is also to make the second miss happy, last night Tang Zhixian stared at the third miss in front of everyone, which made the second miss lose a lot of face, the second miss was sad and cried all night, and today is not good, she took her to Meilin to enjoy the scenery in order to make the second miss feel relieved.

Wang Yufang snorted coldly, very disdainful, she had always looked down on him: "It's just a villain, he is really a businessman, he can't get on the stage, he has read books for so many years, if this kind of person can't rely on a few stinky money, he is also worthy of being a magistrate!" ”

Chun Xing echoed: "Miss, every word is beautiful, what I said is that if he didn't come up with a few stinky money, this kind of person would not be worthy of carrying shoes in front of our master." It's also fortunate that Miss didn't marry him in the first place, otherwise it would have been ruined for the rest of her life. ”
