Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 158

In the 35th year of Jing'an, on November [-], it is appropriate to marry.

In the dim light of the sky, the Xiang family's house was full of people, and the servants shuttled back and forth, busy all the time.Thinking that this is Xiang Yu's wedding, Xiang Yuan couldn't lie down for a long time, and it was still dark, so he got up, washed and dressed, and when he came back, he saw that Zhao Shen was also up, and he was wearing his outer robe.

"What do you do to wake up so early! It's not yet dawn, sleep a little longer."

Zhao Shen yawned unabashedly, his hands kept moving, and said, "I can't sleep even if I lie down. Today is a good day for Brother Yu, so I don't want to stare at it, I'm always worried."

Xiang Yuan saw that the little girl had poured in the washing water, so he took it himself, soaked the handkerchief and handed it to Zhao Shen, saying, "Why do you keep watching, there are so many people below, if you don't know how to do this , replace it as soon as possible."

Zhao Shen glanced at Xiang Yuan and couldn't help laughing out, "Xiaozi, are you nervous? It's not that you're married, why are you so nervous!"

Xiang Yuan's face froze, and he wanted to refuse to admit it, but when he turned his head and saw the clarity in his daughter-in-law's eyes, he could only touch his nose, and snorted, "I'm not nervous about getting married, I'm just looking forward to being excited. But brother Yu is in front of me after all. When I grow up, I'm no different from my son, and it's not the first time for my son to get married, so I'm really nervous."

Zhao Shen laughed out loud.

After laughing, he was a little disappointed, thinking that Brother Yu would move out of Xiang Zhai after getting married, and he was a little bit reluctant for a while.

"Moving out is good for their young couple. After all, in the eyes of the world, Brother Yu is not my biological son, nor is he an adopted son. Although our son is still young, we have to guard against being provoked by someone with a heart in the future and ruining our relationship with each other." kinship."

Seeing his daughter-in-law's unhappy brow, Xiang Yuan knew what he was thinking, so he spoke to explain.

Zhao Shen also knew that it was impossible for them to live together all the time, not only because brother Yu had to take care of his own small family after getting married, but also to prevent brother Yu from being seriously injured by malicious people.Such rumors, even if they are not true, but if there are too many people who speculate in private, it will do great harm to a person's reputation.

"Fortunately, Brother Yu himself has been successful in the past few years, and he has saved a lot of money. Otherwise, the younger brother of the Zhang family will face the dilemma of being separated when he gets married. The in-laws may think we have something hidden. "

Xiang Yuan thought about it, and felt that with Zhang's wife's temperament, the sooner Zhang Lanyu married, she would be able to feel at ease sooner, and secretly wished that Zhang Lanyu would not live well.

The husband and wife are ready to go to Xiang Yu's yard first.Today is Xiang Yu's big day, although he is the protagonist, he is not busy at all.When I got up in the morning, I still had time to take Zhuo Zhuo to do boxing, and after taking him for a jog, the two brothers went to wash and eat.When Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen came over, the two brothers had finished their meal and were rinsing their mouths with tea.

Zhao Shen saw Xiang Anjing gargling her small mouth, and asked with a smile, "Zhuo Zhuo, how did you sleep with Brother Yu yesterday?"

Zhuo Zhuo heard from his servant yesterday that Xiang Yu is getting married today, that he is going to marry a bride, and that he will have a baby of his own in the future. For some reason, he just relies on Xiang Yu and wants to sleep with Xiang Yu.

"Sleep well, we will sleep together tonight, and the bride."

After Zhuozhuo finished speaking with a serious face, Zhao Shen almost burst into laughter.

"That can't be done. The bride wants to be with brother Yu. Zhuozhuo is a big baby, so she has to sleep by herself."

Zhao Shen tried to reason with him.

Xiang Anjing frowned when she heard the words, she was quite confused, she blinked her bright black eyes, and asked: "But Dad is also big, bigger than Zhuozhuo, so many" said, and stretched out his hands A large circle was drawn in front of him, indicating a large area. "Why do you still have to sleep with daddy at night? Zhuozhuo is still young, but he wants to sleep by himself."

Zhao Shen was immediately embarrassed.

Zhuo Zhuo didn't speak very fluently before, but he gradually became fluent in the past few months.But who knows, now he not only speaks sharply, but also has his own set of principles, which is amazing at every turn.

"Hey, Zhuozhuo is a little man, he is not afraid of anything, so he has to sleep by himself. Well, after dinner, I will go to the back with Dad, and we will wait to see the bride."

Zhao Shen blushed slightly, reluctantly explaining something, then hastily changed the subject.

Xiang Anjing jumped off the chair, straightened the hem of her robe, nodded calmly, looking like a schoolboy, Zhao Shen frowned.

This is the style of the old Confucian scholars who learned it, it hurts the eyes!

Before going out, Xiang Anjing suddenly said: "Actually, daddy is afraid of sleeping alone, so that's why he needs someone to accompany him."

Zhao Shen staggered, and quickly glanced around, seeing that all the servants were staring down their heads and pretending not to hear, so he deceived himself to comfort himself that they really didn't hear.Holding Xiang Anjing with more strength, Zhao Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Let's talk about this, today's candy cake will be gone."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Anjing immediately closed her mouth tightly to Zhao Shen, blinking her eyes, signaling that he would never speak.

Xiang Yuan and Xiang Yu watched from behind, both holding back their laughter, not daring to laugh out loud, the daughter-in-law (teacher's wife) was thin-skinned, she joked in front of his face, and was destined to become angry from embarrassment.

Seeing Zhao Shen leading Zhuozhuo away, Xiang Yuan told Xiang Yu the result of his discussion with Zhao Shen.

"No, master! The business of the shops in the south of the city is good. In the future, it can be left to Zhuang Zhuang or Zhuo Zhuo. I have savings in my hand, so it is not difficult. How can I want Master's property?"

Xiang Yuan waved his hand to signal him not to get excited. "You have been with me for so many years. You are a master and apprentice in name, but you are no different from your own nephew. Now that you are married, as a master, it is right to give you a big gift. And the master didn't give much, but just one In the future, you young couple will live on your own, and if you earn more or less, you have to bear it yourself."

Xiang Yu wanted to say more, but Xiang Yuan firmly stated that this matter was decided like this and would not be changed.

"Now I want to start a family, and the expenses will be high in the future. If I have a shop, I can always make more income. But the shop will be hung with your Uncle Xiang for the time being. When you and Brother Yu settle down completely in the future, it will not be too late to transfer the ownership. "

Xiang Yu understood the implication in Xiang Yuan's words, because he is an official, he is not allowed to participate in business, but if only relying on the imperial salary, it is estimated that few families can support a large family.Therefore, there are countermeasures and there are policies. The shops of a house are basically hung under the name of the person who has studied in the family but cannot make a business decision, or hangs under the name of the wife.In this regard, everyone tacitly, no one is stupid enough to catch this kind of trick.Now that he and Brother Yu are about to get married, the big guys don't know much about Brother Yu's temperament, so naturally they won't hand over important matters related to his future livelihood to Brother Yu from the beginning.

After Xiang Yuan finished watching Xiang Yu, he returned to the inner courtyard, and saw that Xiang Anjue, who had come back from the academy on leave because of Xiang Yu's marriage, was standing in front of Zhao Shen, showing him the wedding gift he had prepared for Xiang Yu. Carved wood carving ornaments.

"Father, can I carve it well? This is Bingdilian, which means that we are of one heart and one mind, and we will be together for a hundred years."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shen nodded and praised him for the good engraving, and the image he chose had a good meaning, and if he gave it to Xiang Yu, it would definitely make him happy, so Xiang Anjue grinned happily.Turning around to see Xiang Yuan coming in, he was busy showing off to Xiang Yuan.

"Daddy, I carved this with my own hands. It took a lot of effort."

Before Xiang Yuan took a closer look, Xiang Anjing, who had waited for a while and finally saw the gap, ran forward, grabbed the woodcut and ran out.

"Xiang Zhuozhuo! Stop!"

Xiang Anjue was so angry that she stepped forward and grabbed Xiang Anjing's back collar, half pulling her up.

"Little rascal, how dare you steal my brother's things! If you are so unbehaved, next time my brother will not bring good things back for you to play with."

Xiang Anjing pursed her lips, threw Bingdilian into Xiang Anjue's arms, ran back to Zhao Shen, snuggled into his arms, pointed at Xiang Anjue and said in an aggrieved voice, "Brother, bad!"

Seeing the younger son's expression of aggrieved face after he did something wrong, Xiang Yuan was immediately annoyed.He squatted in front of Xiang Zhuozhuo, and asked softly, "Why is brother broken?"

"It's bad, don't give Zhuzhuo wood carvings!"

Xiang Zhuozhuo was filled with righteous indignation, and tears rolled in his eyes while talking.By the looks of it, I really feel extremely wronged.

"But the wood carvings were carved by my brother as a gift to Brother Yu, don't you remember? Brother Yu got married today and is going to marry a bride."

Xiang Zhuo frowned, thought for a while, pouted, and said unwillingly, "But I like that wood carving, and I want to get married, so my brother will give it to me!"

Zhao Shen couldn't bear it any longer, he laughed and hugged Xiang Anjing in his arms, comforting him: "Today, this is a gift that my brother spent so much effort to give to Brother Yu, Zhuo Zhuo can't take it. But Zhuo Zhuo wants it, You can discuss it with your brother. If you don’t believe me, ask your brother, if you want a wood carving, will he give it to you?”

Hearing Zhao Shen's affirmative statement, Zhuo Zhuo immediately looked at Xiang Anjue eagerly.

Xiang Anjue turned his head and looked helplessly at his father, saw that his father had a smile in his eyes, obviously watching the fun, snorted, and said, "If you want it, just tell brother, he will definitely make it for you. However, you can no longer snatch gifts from elder brother, it is very impolite, you know?"

Xiang Anjing didn't care what his brother said later, he just remembered what he said before, he immediately smiled, nodded hurriedly, and urged him: "That Zhuo Zhuo also needs flowers, and I want to give it to you with my dad yesterday." Dad's is exactly the same, brother, hurry up and do it."

Zhao Shen helped his forehead helplessly.

Yesterday, Xiang Yuan and his colleagues went outside the city to enjoy the plum blossoms on snow, and when they came back, they brought him a bright red plum blossom. He liked it very much, and kept it in the beauty dendrobium in the house.He didn't want Zhuo Zhuo, a little boy, to see it again, and talk about it with a big mouth, which really embarrassed him.

"Okay, my brother will make it for you when I have time. Now go outside with Dad to have a look. There are a lot of delicious food today, especially the sugar cake you like. Today, I made a lot of styles and added different fruit fillings. , it's delicious."

Xiang Anjing's saliva was drooling when she heard it, and she didn't care whether the woodcut was woodcut or not, and ran out after Zhao Shen.Before leaving the room, he knew that he had to maintain his image, he immediately put his feet back, straightened his back, followed Zhao Shen's side with a straight face, very well-behaved, at first glance, he looked like a gentleman.

Xiang Anjue was dumbfounded.

"Daddy, brother, he, he, can really pretend!"

Xiang Yuan laughed loudly, and copied Xiang Anjue, ignoring his suddenly flushed little face, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go ahead and see Brother Yu, you are going to greet the bride with Brother Yu."

Xiang Anjue nestled in his father's arms, secretly thinking that although he had grown up, he was still young compared to brother Yu who could get married, but it's not a shame to cling to his father's arms occasionally.

Xiang Yuan didn't know what was going on in Xiang Anjue's little head.Ever since Zhuang Zhuang went to the academy to study, his behavior has become more and more mature. He is still a child under ten years old, but he insists on pretending to be a young and mature person, and he does not act coquettishly in front of him and Zhao Shen, pretending to be mature. Son, every time it makes him can't help but want to make a move.

The Xiang family's house was busy, and there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate them.The other end of Zhang's house was also buzzing with people.

Zhang Lanyu was woken up early in the morning, and Xi Niang, who was in charge of dressing up, dressed her from head to toe, and he only needed to sit obediently.

The only heir of the Zhang family brought the three sisters to see him, said some congratulatory words, and each sent some gadgets before leaving.

Seeing that his nominal second brother still looked arrogant, Zhang Lanyu twitched her lips indistinctly.I don't know what Cheng Ri's family is proud of. After studying for so many years, not only has his temperament become more pedantic, but he even looks down on him even more, thinking that a younger brother who is a direct brother has lost face as the direct son of the Zhang family.Cut, if possible, he would rather not have a family with them.If the mother is still there, she will definitely give him many younger brothers and sisters, which are better than the present one.

Thinking of her mother, Zhang Lanyu's nose soured, and tears almost came out.My mother knew that she would be very happy to know that she got married today.From mother to father, Zhang Lanyu's expression was complicated.Zhang's father came to him yesterday and handed him the household certificate of a shop, saying it was an additional dowry for him.When he glanced at it, he was startled.That shop is currently the one with the best income for Zhang's family, even though he doesn't care about the accounts, he knows it in his heart when he goes to the street to investigate on weekdays.

"Daddy gave it to Brother Yu just like that, does mother know?"

Zhang Lanyu remembered asking this question.

Father Zhang's face was a little embarrassed for a moment, and he said loudly as if to cover up: "Your mother naturally knows, she didn't trick her, and she really loves you for so many years, but it's just a shop. Don't worry, your mother knows the truth."

Zhang Lanyu was silent.

He couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't married into the Xiang family, if the Xiang family didn't have the power it has now, would his father still accompany him to give him such a prosperous shop?

Today is a day of great joy for Zhang Lanyu, but Mrs. Zhang feels as if her heart is stuffed with cotton, and she is extremely uncomfortable.In the eyes of the people who came to congratulate her, her strong face and smiling face only felt that she was reluctant to part with Zhang Lanyu, and they all advised her to take it easy. They also said that Zhang Lanyu married into the Xiang family, not only the second master of the Xiang family was an official From the third rank of the imperial court, and the simplicity is in the emperor's heart, and the holy family is rich.The most important thing is that the husband to be married is a Jinshi, and Han Lin works, so his future prospects are definitely not bad.

The more she heard these compliments, the more blocked Mrs. Zhang's heart became.

Zhang Lanyu married to the Xiang family, and she was only a little jealous, but in the bottom of her heart, she was also very happy that her family and the Xiang family could climb into the in-laws.Just thinking of Master Zhang coming over last night and telling her that he would marry Zhang Lanyu with the shop with excellent business, she kept her breath in her heart.

Why!

Although the shop was bought by Zhang Lanyu's mother-in-law when she was there, it's not because of her hard work day and night to take care of it for so many years, which makes a shop that is not particularly good business become a prosperous shop!She put in so much effort and thought about dressing and drinking for an old family. She thought that with this shop supporting her, it would not be embarrassing for her family to spend.But who would have thought that the master would take the shop away as soon as he opened his mouth, which was simply trying to gouge out her heart.

"The current momentum of the Xiang family is just right. The in-laws are not only trusted by the sage, but also have a very close relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. Furthermore, I found out that just a few days ago, in the Jinyu Manxiang Tower, Mr. Gu Ge and Mr. Wang There are also in-laws, who sat at the same table, drinking and drinking, and talked happily. After that, the sage did not mean to blame the in-laws, and his attitude was very kind. What does this mean? It means that this matter is within the scope of the sage's acquiescence! But there is a big article! It is said that you are a woman and others don’t understand. You just need to know that if you accompany Brother Yu more now, we will benefit more in the future. Maybe your master’s promotion depends on Brother Yu. "

Thinking of what the master said, no matter how unwilling Mrs. Zhang was, she would not dare to contradict Master Zhang openly.Otherwise, wouldn't she become an ignorant woman who doesn't care about her master's future?

It's just that, in the end, I am unwilling to settle down.Mrs. Zhang talked about her marriage, so she was a little perfunctory.
