When I got closer, I saw that Zhang Dalangjun's face was not very good-looking.

"I just learned that I was coming to bring food to you, husband, and the sixteenth lady said that he hadn't seen you for a long time, so he wanted to come and see you with me. Putting the bamboo basket in the hut, she whispered.

The little lady hurriedly stepped forward and shouted to Zhang Dalangjun delicately: "Brother~"

Then she turned to Cui Pu and bowed softly to him: "Cui Langjun." ”

These three words alone spit out from between her lips and teeth, but they were unusually melodious and tactful, and cowardly. Coupled with that delicate little face like a flower, it really makes people feel distressed.

Cui Pu yelled in his heart that it was not good, and quickly jumped behind Mu Jiaojiao. "Lady, I'm not good at dealing with little ladies. So it's better for you to go!"

Mu Jiaojiao was silent, just stood there quietly, as if he didn't hear his cry for help.

Mrs. Zhang Sixteen seemed to have just seen her, and hurriedly saluted her again: "The little girl has seen Mrs. Cui." Mrs. Cui is young and beautiful, and she can't tell that she has given birth to a child at all. This skin is also really smooth and delicate, and it can be broken by blowing, just like a girl's skin. How do you maintain it, and can you tell the little girl a secret or two?"

I can't tell that she has already given birth, that is to say, she has given birth, so she has dropped the price? After all, there's a real girl standing in front of you!

The young lady is in her prime, and she can do it casually and be just as radiant, but she came to ask a person who is more than ten years older than her for maintenance secrets, is this an ironic person or a sarcastic person?

Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently: "Zhang Niangzi, you are already very good like this, you don't need to add any burden to your face." If you really want to talk about maintenance, you have to wait until you get married and have children. ”

"Oh, people are still young, and they don't want to get married! Besides, my face is so dark, I still want to raise Baijing first. Zhang Sixteen Lady quickly covered her face and said shyly.

I don't want to get married, what are you running to the grave in a fancy way?

Zhang Dalangjun couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Sixteen Niang, Cui Langjun and Mrs. Cui are my honored guests, and they are also my father's honored guests." They have come today to worship my father. ”

Zhang Sixteen Lady pretended to be delicate, and immediately stared at Cui Pu with an innocent face: "I know! My father also said that since Cui Langjun is your distinguished guest, he is naturally a distinguished guest in our Zhang clan." Now Daddy is asking someone to prepare a banquet, saying that he wants to invite the clansmen to accompany the distinguished guests in the evening! Now, I am here to invite Cui Langjun to return to the clan. ”

"Oh, I didn't know that the customs in the Lingnan region are so different. Inviting distinguished guests to the banquet, is it to send a little lady who has not yet left the cabinet?" Mu Jiaojiao said coldly, "We have attended many banquets in Chang'an and Yangzhou, and we have also received countless posts, some of the owners themselves came, some sent housekeepers, and some let the men of the family come. But I've seen hundreds of cases, and I've never seen anyone who let the little lady come forward. I remember when we were in Guangzhou, we went to the Jingluo Embassy, and the people sent by the Jingluo Embassy to contact us were all men, right?"

"That's right, it's a man!" Cui Pu hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Sixteen Niangzi's face was embarrassed, and she quickly changed her words: "I'm just going to say it in advance now, so that you can be prepared in your hearts." Of course my father won't send me to invite Cui Langjun. There will be other people in the clan who will come to invite you, solemnly, please. ”

Stumbling through this, her words were not answered by anyone. As soon as Zhang Sixteen Lady looked up, she saw Cui Pu and his wife and even Zhang Dalangjun and his wife all looking at him coldly, one by one, just like watching a clown jumping off the beam, their eyes were full of contempt.

She suddenly had a sour nose, stared at Cui Pu with great resentment, and then covered her face with a whimper and walked away.

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at Cui Pu lightly again, and let out a cold snort.

Cui Pu was frightened for a moment, and quickly explained loudly: "Lady, don't be deceived by the appearance in front of you! I have nothing to do with her, and we only met at this time today." Zhang Dalangjun, they can testify for me!"

Zhang Dalangjun hurriedly coughed lightly: "I can testify to this." This sister in my clan has lived in Qujiang since she was a child and has never been out of town. ”

After that, he suddenly turned to his wife: "Did you tell them something?"

Mrs. Zhang's face suddenly turned white. "When the husband and wife of Governor Cui came over, I prepared lunch for you in the kitchen, and I didn't see them. Later, I heard from them that someone came to worship my uncle, and after listening to their descriptions, I knew that it was the Cui Governor and his wife who came. If I don't pay attention, I ......"

"Revealed their identities?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded quietly.

"You...... Hey, what should I say?" Zhang Dalangjun sighed weakly, "The second uncle's family loves to cling to power. When Daddy was alive, he was better pressed by Daddy. But now that Daddy is gone, the biggest backer of the Zhang family is gone, and he is busy jumping up and down to find a backer for the Zhang family, and then restore the Zhang family to its former glory! The beautiful little ladies in the second uncle's mansion have been almost given away by him, and now there is only Sixteen Niang who is the most beautiful, and he plans to use her to great use. Now that he knows the identity of Governor Cui, it's strange that he will let him go!"

It's just that just let the little lady come to the grave after greasing and powdering, which is too disrespectful to the ancestors!

"I didn't expect that the second uncle's family would be so excessive. At first, the sixteenth lady just said to accompany me for a while, and when she was about to arrive, she changed her words and said that she was afraid that I would come and go alone and be lonely, so she accompanied me to the door. But when I got to the door, she said that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I was so panicked that I had to go inside, and I couldn't persuade her. That's why I ......" Mrs. Zhang was also ashamed, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu, "Today's incident is my fault, please don't blame my family Langjun." ”

"It's okay, it's right and wrong, we know it in our hearts, and we won't blame it indiscriminately. Lady, do you say?" Cui Pu hurriedly waved his hand and smiled at Mu Jiaojiao.

Mu Jiaojiao ignored him, and only said coldly: "Since we have come to Lingnan, we will definitely come to worship Zhang Zhongshu." Then it is fate that he will meet Zhang Sixteen Niangzi. You don't have to worry, there is a debtor, and we definitely can't blame you. ”

That is, she will blame the patriarch's family.

However, this is already the best ending. Anyway, they didn't break up with him because of this incident.

Zhang Dalangjun breathed a sigh of relief and sighed faintly: "If there is a spirit under Daddy Spring, knowing that the second uncle's family has done things to this point, he will definitely regret pushing the second uncle to the position of patriarch in the first place." Nowadays, they are getting more and more inflated. If someone can wake them up well, Daddy must be happy to see it. ”

He knew that Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao would repay their temperament. So get out there now—you two do whatever you want! If we can take this opportunity to make them realize the reality and change their ways, then we will thank you in turn!

Cui Pu listened, but he was not very happy in his heart. Now, his whole mind is on Mu Jiaojiao beside him.

She's angry!

Sensing the trace of cold air overflowing from her body, Cui Pu was both excited and apprehensive in her heart.

Excited, naturally, she was jealous for him again! What she was worried about was how to persuade her right now? Her anger this time was really not ordinary!

For lunch, Zhang Dalangjun only used a few bites casually, and then handed it to Mrs. Zhang and took it away. Mrs. Zhang knew that she had done something wrong, and she didn't say a word later.

In the afternoon, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao continued to stay here and chat with Zhang Dalangjun. During this period, Cui Pu would pick up a conversation from time to time and throw it at Mu Jiaojiao, but Mu Jiaojiao ruthlessly blocked back. So the more he talked about the end, the more depressed his mood became, and his face collapsed.

Zhang Dalangjun didn't feel funny when he saw it in his eyes - this couple is really famously wonderful. Isn't it common for wives to be careful to please their husbands, lest they be disliked by their husbands? After knowing each other for so long, he has always seen Cui Pu carefully currying favor with Mu Jiaojiao, while Mu Jiaojiao is standing there coldly, letting him jump around in front of her like a pug, all kinds of flattery. When was the interest, she touched his head to give him a reaction, and Cui Pu immediately jumped even happier.

Is...... Shame on the man!

However, this is the way other people's husbands and wives get along, and he doesn't comment, at most he just secretly complains a few times in his heart.

When it came to Shen, the patriarch of the Zhang family really sent someone to invite Cui Pu and his wife to the dinner.

The person who came was the eldest grandson of the patriarch Zhang, that is, the nephew of Zhang Dalangjun. This person's appearance is somewhat similar to Zhang Dalangjun, but there is no trace of Zhang Dalangjun's peaceful and tranquil aura on his body. Although he was dressed like a dog, his eyes were constantly rolling and revealing his flexible mind.

"We're not going. We still have a lot of things to do in Guangzhou, and this time I only planned to come to talk to Zhang Zhongshu and toast him with a glass of wine. Now that we've got our wish, it's time for us to go. Cui Pu hurriedly refused.

He would rather leave this place as soon as possible, and then find a nearby inn to stay in. As for having dinner in Zhang's mansion, or even staying there for one night...... Forget it! In Tianchang County before, wasn't the lesson of Master Jiang's family deep enough?

However, as soon as his words fell, Mu Jiaojiao said slowly: "I'm tired. ”

Cui Pu was stunned, Mu Jiaojiao turned to him again, and said word by word: "I'm tired." ”

"Lady's ......" Cui Pu suddenly wanted to cry.

Patriarch Zhang's eldest grandson was overjoyed when he heard this: "Since Mrs. Cui is here, then please go back to the clan with a certain person! We have prepared a room for you, you just go back and rest, and I promise that you will all be comfortable!"

Mu Jiaojiao only looked at Cui Pu silently.

Cui Pu wanted to cry without tears.

He quietly rubbed to Mu Jiaojiao's side: "Lady, why are you doing this?"

"I'm bored!" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

This smile shocked Cui Pu into a cold sweat.
