Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 161

No matter what the couple speculated privately, they made preparations early on the second day, ready to welcome Xu Huan to the door.

At three o'clock, Wang Qing led a person in from the outside.Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen looked at each other, stood up and greeted them, only to see that the visitor was tall and thin, his face was almost similar to Xu Yixuan's, but compared to Xu Yixuan's exquisite beauty, the visitor was a little more elegant In addition, as a man, with this face, he is quite as handsome and elegant as Pan An.

"You, are you Jinyan? I'm your uncle Xu Huan! I hugged you when I was young, but after so many years, I almost don't recognize you."

From the moment he saw Xu Huan and Xu Yixuan's similar faces, Zhao Shen believed his words.This is really an uncle, but, for so many years, since he was sensible, he has never heard of his name, why?

Xiang Yuan observed the words and expressions, and knew that this person was probably an elder, so he let him take the lead and served tea.He brought the children of the family over to meet them one by one, and was sent out after receiving the meeting gift from Xu Huan.Afterwards, the three of them slowly started talking.

Xu Huan looked like a gentle and elegant man, but when he opened his mouth, the crackling words came out like a cannonball, there was no trace of gentleness, and he looked very bright and open.

"I was helpless at that time. It was less than a year after your father gave birth to you, and your grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another. The family didn't have much savings, and two funerals in succession completely ruined the family. I just Thinking about going out to find some work, no matter what, let’s get enough food and clothing first. Who would have thought that after working hard for a month, they would be robbed before they got the money. , you really won’t be able to see Uncle.”

Zhao Shen asked suspiciously, "Then Father doesn't even know what's going on with Uncle?"

Xu Huan sipped his tea, smiled wryly, and said, "Your father entered the Zhao family, so there is no freedom. At that time, I met a robber. Although I was rescued, I was still in a coma. The person who rescued me didn't know that I was People from Lizhong County came back to their hometown in an emergency, so they took me away with them. I reckon, your father thought that I was dead all these years."

Zhao Shen always felt that something was wrong. He glanced at Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yuan smiled, and casually asked, "Why doesn't my uncle want to send a letter back after all these years? If my mother-in-law knows that my uncle survived a catastrophe, how happy would I be?" .”

No wonder it feels wrong, how many years have passed, it was uncle who was inconvenient to send letters at the beginning, and should always remember to send letters back later, but he never heard anything from father.Father didn't mention Xu Huan at all, because he thought that Xu Huan had already died in his heart, which would hurt his heart, so he simply didn't mention it anymore.He had just seen that Xu Huan and his father were similar in appearance, and he was already somewhat close to him, and knowing that he was really his uncle, he was even more happy that there were still his relatives in this world, but he hadn't figured out the key point.fool!This brain also said that doing business is the best and smartest, what a slap in the face.

Xu Huan rubbed his nose, his expression was a bit embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "It's not that I don't want to deliver the letter, it's really inconvenient. But now I finally come back, and I just want to set off for Lizhong in the near future, to see your father go."

According to Xu Huan, he only came to the capital this year, and he is not familiar with the place where he was born. If it wasn't for a coincidence, he knew that the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Xiang Zhengjun, is his nephew. It will set off back to Lizhong.

To Xu Huan, Xiang Yuan always has an unspeakable discord.It's not that he has doubts about his identity, but that Xu Huan's words are not true.Look at his attire, he doesn't look like he is living in poverty, but he looks like a well-to-do lord from a rich family, and just now, as a gift for the children in the family, each of them has a piece of white and moist jade pendant, just look at the texture and workmanship, you can tell it is not Cheap goods.Then look at Xu Huan's exposed palm, slender, white and tender, without any calluses, it must have never suffered or exerted too much force.And no matter the sitting posture or the movement of drinking tea, they all have the taste of a master.This has to make people wonder, what exactly did Xu Huan do for a living in the past so many years.

Xiang Yuan was thinking about it in secret, when Zhao Shen's caring voice sounded from the other end.

Hearing that his nephew was concerned about his life in the past few years, Xu Huan showed excitement, but what he said was still a little vague, Zhao Shen couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xu Huan came to the door this time, just to see his nephew, to see with his own eyes whether his life is as smooth as the outside rumors.But after only sitting for a short while, he was relieved a bit.Things on the big scene can be faked, but inadvertent habitual small movements can see the problem at a glance.Just like when the girl came in to change the tea just now, Xiang Yuan took Zhao Shen's cup to test the temperature first, and handed it to Zhao Shen when he thought it was suitable.During the whole process, neither of the two felt that there was any problem, and the girl seemed to be used to it, and she smiled and explained: "Master, don't worry, the maidservant remembers the temperature, so I can't make a mistake." Zhao Shen only smiled, and said: "Every time You have to try it yourself, and it doesn’t bother you.”

Xiang Yuan smiled and explained to Xu Huan: "When Jin Yan gave birth to brother and sister Tao Tao and Ran Ran, he suffered a great crime. The doctor told him to have a good child. Every day, this cup of bird's nest must be eaten regularly."

Xu Huan nodded suddenly, no wonder he felt that the cup didn't look like tea, but it turned out to be bird's nest.Being willing to give Jin Yan to eat bird's nest for a day, Xu Huan finally let go of his worries.

Xu Huan only stayed with Xiang Yuan and the others for two days before leaving, saying that he was going to meet Xu Yixuan in Lizhong, but I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Xu Huan was in a hurry, as if something was chasing him.Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen couldn't keep him, so they had to prepare a thick Cheng Yi for him, and asked him to bring some small gifts for Xu Yixuan and Li Shi, before sending him out of the city.

The days slipped by quietly, I thought they would not have too much contact with Xu Huan, but Xiang Yuan happened to be walking with Zhong Yao, the current Honglu Temple Minister Zhong Yao.Although Zhong Yao's desire to get married has hit a wall with Xiang Yuan, Zhong Yao has nothing strange about Xiang Yuan.If you say that you don't have the slightest bit of embarrassment in your heart about being rejected, you'd be lying.It's just that Zhong Yao always knew what he wanted and could see the situation clearly.

A few years ago, the two were both in Futai, and Zhong Yao could comfort himself that the two were thousands of miles apart, even if Xiang Yuan was actually a little bit higher than his rank, it would basically not hinder him.Besides, his elder sister's house is within his territory, so Xiang Yuan always has to be polite to him.But now, with Xiang Yuan's recommendation, he was transferred back to the capital, and took the position of Minister of the Honglu Temple in one fell swoop. Zhong Yao was clear in his heart about which of the two was more favored by saints, and their status was high or low.

At this time, Zhong Yao, who was full of smiles, exchanged polite words with Xiang Yuan, and then talked about the fact that the female chieftain from southern Yunnan will go to Beijing to face the saint in two days.

Xiang Yuan remembered this female chieftain, last New Year's Eve when the palace gave a banquet, this female chieftain was at the banquet.Wearing a bright red Dian costume, wearing a shiny tasseled silver jewelry, with a beautiful face, the end is amazing.

It's just that this female chieftain comes too often, right?Are you so free?

Zhong Yao approached Xiang Yuan and gossiped, "It's not idle. It is said that the husband of this female chieftain is from the Central Plains. He is hard to leave his homeland and is eager to miss his hometown. This female chieftain loves his lover. He came to the capital again after a year. On the surface it is Miansheng, but in fact it is just to fulfill the wish of my beloved Lang Jun to return to his hometown."

Xiang Yuan was speechless, as expected, in any time and space, this kind of love gossip spreads the fastest.

About the matter of the female chieftain, Xiang Yuan only listened to this and didn't take it to heart.What he is most concerned about now is Xiang Yu's going to the outside world.

Xiang Yu has been in the Imperial Academy for three years. Xiang Yuan asked him about his future plans. Unreasonable and expected, Xiang Yu really planned to let him go.It's just that Brother Yu is about to give birth, and if Xiang Yu is released, the young couple may be separated from each other within a year or two.

"I discussed it with Brother Yu. It must be a lot of hard work for me to go to other places in the past two years. I also don't want him and the children to suffer together. And I also want to be promoted as soon as possible so that they can give their parents a better life. If I miss this opportunity to go outside, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait another three years, I’m not reconciled.”

Indeed, this time there are plenty of quotas and most of the rich states and counties, if Xiang Yu can seize this opportunity and go out for three to five years, it will not be difficult to be promoted to the fourth-rank local governor.

"Since the two of you have already made up your mind, Master will not stop you. Do you have something you like? Master will give you everything."

Xiang Yu giggled and said, "Don't wait for Master's words! I think Lishui County under Yunzhou is pretty good. If you can, go there."

Lishui?Xiang Yuan scratched his head, first frowned, then stretched his eyebrows, and nodded in agreement: "Well, Lishui is not bad. Although there are many mixed communities in the place, it can grasp the key points, straighten out the conflicts between all parties, and manage it well. Come on, the end-of-year evaluation must be excellent."

"Master, don't worry. I don't dare to boast how powerful I am, but I have been with Master for many years. If I can't even manage Lishui well, I won't have the face to say that I was taught by Master's side."

The matter of Xiang Yu's release was settled in this way.Knowing the final result, Yu Ge'er only looked a bit sad, and then forced himself to stay in the back of his mind.The most important thing for him now is to give birth to the child safely. Only if everything goes well, then he will be able to take the child to find Xiang Yu two years later.

Zhang Lanyu didn't even think about testing Xiang Yu's feelings for her.Such a stupid thing, only those who are full will toss about it.He and Xiang Yu are in a good relationship now, and he has no concubine to worry about. He is reluctant to do such a happy life.And he still has confidence in Xiang Yu, but after two years, he can always hold on. When the child turns two years old, he will chase after Xiang Yu whatever he wants.It's not easy for me to be close to my husband, and if something happens, he won't have to cry.

It was decided that Xiang Yu would go out of Beijing, and Xiang Yuan received a letter from his fourth senior brother Zhang Ji.It is said that since Lin Gong became an official, several senior brothers, except the senior senior brother who did not come to Beijing at the beginning, third senior brother Xu Xuan and fourth senior brother Zhang Ji, have been released one after another.Over the past few years, they only gave each other gifts during the New Year and holidays, and rarely communicated with each other on weekdays. This was not indifference, but a kind of protection for Xiang Yuan.The senior brothers above all take great care of my master's close disciple.Nowadays, although he is not as favored by saints as Xiang Yuan, and his grade is not as high as Xiang Yuan, but there are like-minded people who do not hold him back.For this, Xiang Yuan is deeply impressed.

Senior brother Zhang Ji sent a letter this time, asking him to take care of his son who came to Beijing for the exam, and said that if possible, he also hoped that Xiang Yuan could give some advice to his nephew.

Xiang Yuan was very happy about this.For senior brother Zhang Ji, he felt extremely guilty in his heart.If it wasn't for him, Zhang Ji's official career in the capital would have been the best.Because of his relationship with the crown prince, the sage swiped his pen and transferred Zhang Jigang to another place every two years when he was transferred back to the capital. Not to mention that the distance from the capital was quite far, the place of Ren was also known to be poor in Daliang.Seeing that Zhang Jilai trusted him to take care of his son at this time, Xiang Yuan knew that his senior brother did not blame him in his heart, and he had to say he was relieved.

However, Zhang Ji's tenure is almost over, and he has been excellent in the evaluations every year for so many years. It is said that he is also very popular among the people where he is in office.You need wrists and connections, and if that's the case, you can find a way to transfer your brother to Jiangnan.

Xiang Yuan was thinking about how this matter should work, Zhao Shen came in with a strange expression on his face, and said that the female chieftain from southern Yunnan had sent a message, saying that she would visit on another day.

Xiang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, he had no friendship with this female chieftain at all.Looking at Zhao Shen's confused appearance, it is even more impossible for the chieftain to recognize his daughter-in-law.

So where did this visit come from?
