Chapter 144 Fun
Asking about the situation that day from Xiang Yu's mouth, Xiang Yuan's face turned dark for a full cup of tea.
After his daughter-in-law chose the Lu family, he purposely inquired secretly with the people in the court.This Road Counselor has a good reputation, he is fairly clean as an official, and has enough ability. Xiang Yuan is quite satisfied with such a person as Xiang Yu's father-in-law.Moreover, he noticed that Counselor Xu Lu knew that the two families were going to discuss marriage, and when they met in court on weekdays, they were always very polite and close to him, sometimes too flattering, so Xiang Yuan knew that Counselor Lu would really like to marry him .
Clinker, it turned out to be like this.
Thinking of Xiang Yu's words that Mrs. Lu's family and the second young lady had a contemptuous attitude towards their daughter-in-law, with a vague meaning of contempt, Xiang Yuan felt furious in his heart.
The daughter-in-law he loved so much in his mouth and pampered in his palm, why should he be angry with this idler? !
If he doesn't ask Counselor Lu to get it back, he will have no face to say that he loves his wife!
Counselor Lu heard from Mrs. Lu that the Xiang family politely rejected the marriage, and he was still a little bit upset.I think that although Xiang Yu bears the name of Xiang's family, he was actually born as a servant, and his ancestors have completely forgotten his name and surname, even Mr. Xiang who came from a small family is not as good as him.If it weren't for the fact that he is now registered under the Xiang family, he is a real Xiang family member, how could he marry the prostitute daughter of his Lu family based on his background? !
Because of the complaints in his heart, when he saw Xiang Yuan again, even though Lu Canshi concealed it well, there were still some traces in his eyes.He exchanged a few polite words with a smile on his face, but Counselor Lu couldn't hold back, and finally said something sour.
"Master Xiang is young and promising. Speaking of his subordinates and colleagues, they all say that his future is boundless. Everyone praises that Mr. Xiang can teach and teach people."
Xiang Yuan just smiled and said nothing.
Counselor Lu then added: "Not to mention high talents, Mr. Xiang's vision is quite high."
Xiang Yuan had a reaction this time, and actually nodded accordingly, saying: "It's not a matter of vision, but marrying a wife and a virtuous man. This wife will live a lifetime. If you marry someone who is virtuous on the outside but treacherous on the inside, wouldn't it be good?" Isn't it the source of disaster?"
Hearing this, Counselor Lu's face turned red and then pale, looking at Xiang Yuan's expression, he naturally understood the meaning behind the words, so he became more embarrassed and annoyed, facing the open or secret inquiring eyes of his colleagues around him, Counselor Lu hurried out The palace gate, got on the sedan chair and rushed towards the mansion.
At this time, Mrs. Lu was holding the hand of the second Miss Lu, retreating from everyone, and soothingly said: "The Xiang family is nothing, but it has suddenly developed, and it can't even be ranked in the whole Jingcheng. My family is happy." My sister is good-looking and has a good temper. In the future, I will marry a good man and enjoy endless blessings. What is Xiang Yu? I don’t know where to be cool at that time!"
Second Miss Lu was still unhappy.
In her heart, she had a good impression of Xiang Yu.It's not easy for a girl in her boudoir to meet a man who is close to her eyes, good-looking and talented.However, she was full of confidence at first, and thought that the Xiang family would come to propose marriage in a few days, but the clinker sent a tactful message on the second day, thinking that she and Xiang Yu were not suitable!
This shocked Second Miss Lu, she was stunned to understand, she didn't despise Xiang Yu, why did Xiang Yu despise her?
Seeing that her daughter was still unhappy, Mrs. Lu couldn't help adding another layer of resentment towards the Xiang family.
"The Xiang family is supported by Xiang Yuan alone. Xiang Yu only relied on Xiang Yuan's name to stay in the capital, and entered the Imperial Academy. It's not a big deal. Besides, Xiang Yuan's main room is so poor. Parents, before I was afraid that if you really got married, you would be wronged when you met Weng Gu. It would be better if you didn’t do it now, so as to save my delicately raised daughter from having to kowtow to a little waiter’s brother .”
Hearing this, Counselor Lu couldn't bear it any longer, he lifted the curtain and came in, and immediately said: "I said that Mr. Xiang is acting weird to me today, and I also said that it was their family who refused the marriage, not us. Why this attitude. I heard your complaints when I didn’t become homesick. Tell me the truth, when we met that day, did you also say this? "
Mrs. Lu and Second Miss Lu were taken aback by Counselor Lu's sudden appearance. After hearing what he asked, Mrs. Lu and Second Miss Lu looked at each other.
"How can it be! I'm not a fool, how could I say such a thing?" Mrs. Lu was perfunctory to Counselor Lu, while signaling that her daughter was still there.
Counselor Lu managed to calm down his anger, and waved his hands to tell Second Miss Lu to come back to her own yard.But Second Miss Lu leaned forward, sat down in front of Mrs. Lu, bowed her head and twisted her veil, and said: "It's a big matter for me anyway, I won't leave, I want to figure it out."
Counselor Lu stared, but Miss Lu did not move.She has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is really not afraid of Lu Shenshi.
Counselor Lu was also reluctant to reprimand, so he held his breath and lashed out at Mrs. Lu.If it wasn't for them showing contempt, how could the Xiang family be willing to get married in front of them, but they didn't agree after only seeing each other?Second Miss Lu is good-looking and good-natured, how can she make people hate her after just seeing her?
"The whole family is staring at the idea of the back house all day long! He married Zhengjun in a dignified manner, why can't he get in the eyes of your Mrs. Lu? Xiang Shilang has been with only Zhao Zhengjun for so many years. You can't see anything about it. What's more, Xiang Shilang is in the heart of the emperor, so many people are trying to make a relationship, but you are lucky to miss such a good opportunity for nothing! You really are a woman's insight!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu was ashamed and indignant, but at the same time felt guilty.She naturally knew what her attitude was that day, but, this matter was not easy to talk about, and there was no real reason, why did the Xiang family really hold on to it?
Seeing that Mrs. Lu was guilty, Counselor Lu pointed at her angrily, and remained silent for a while.
When Miss Lu heard this, she also understood why the Xiang family had no intention of getting married. Seeing that her parents were about to quarrel, she cried and told the truth about her slip of the tongue that day.
"I didn't expect Mr. Xiang to come from behind. I think he must have heard it."
Counselor Lu felt powerless for a while, and for the first time he felt that Miss Lu was spoiled a bit too much.
"The matter has come to this, pick some presents that can be obtained as soon as possible, and apologize for sister Huan's words, and Zhao Zhengjun must forgive him. Don't let the marriage fail but become a grudge. I'm just from the fifth rank He can't stand the tribulation of a third-rank minister."
He could figure out that Xiang Shilang really loved his righteous gentleman very much as rumored.Otherwise, it's just a little nonsense from a villain, how could it provoke Xiang Shilang to say it out and slap him in the face? !
In the past, I thought Mrs. Lu was quite virtuous and gracious, but looking at it now, she is nothing more than that.The most irritating thing is that he also taught his good-natured daughter to be so vicious and mean.Really long hair but short knowledge!
Counselor Lu didn't go back to the main room that night, and as soon as he stepped up, he went to the concubine's place behind him.Mrs. Lu knew about it, she almost threw her most beloved Ruyao cup on the ground with hatred.
Sending away Mrs. Lu who insisted on putting it aside for a long time, Zhao Shen saw the gifts she brought over, all of which were extremely expensive, and couldn't help laughing.
In the end, let Congzi know what happened that day.
Mrs. Lu apologized with embarrassment for Miss Lu's slip of the tongue, and she wanted to cover it up. The second Miss Lu is still young and outspoken, but in fact she has a very kind heart, so please don't worry about it.
The corners of Zhao Shen's mouth curled up unconsciously.
If there is no support from Congzi, I am afraid that not only will Mrs. Lu not come to make an apology in person today, but I am afraid that I will be so angry in the future.You know, Mrs. Lu has been in the capital for a long time, and she always has her own social circle.The women in the back house gather in one place, and they like the right and wrong of Taoists the most.Good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away. If she despises and suppresses her for the first time, it will be extremely difficult for Zhao Shen to gain a foothold in the capital.
Thinking of Cong Zi's status as an upright third-rank Beijing official, and how he could lower his body to get back face for him, Zhao Shen felt his heart was soft and warm, as if soaked in honey water, bubbling with joy.
However, in Xiang Yuan's eyes, these are perfectly normal.
This year the weather is hot early, it is not yet June, and the sky is already as hot as July and August.Xiang Yuan has been working in the yamen all day, and at this time the underwear inside the court uniform is all wet with sweat, sticking to his body sticky, making him extremely uncomfortable.As soon as he returned to the mansion, he took off his court clothes in a hurry, and asked his servants to bring water in to take a bath.Zhao Shen didn't need to call, he rolled up his sleeves first and followed, soaking through the wet veil, he carefully washed Xiang Yuan's hair, after washing his hair, he began to wipe his back again.Xiang Yuan squinted his eyes and peeked, always feeling that his daughter-in-law was extraordinarily considerate.Tsk, the strength of this hand is outrageously soft.
After washing, I feel refreshed all over.Sitting at the round table, Zhao Shen said that Mrs. Lu had come here and brought many expensive gifts.Xiang Yuan looked around, only to see his daughter-in-law's smiling face with curved eyebrows, and after turning his mind for a while, he thought about why his daughter-in-law was so happy.
Xiang Yuan picked up Zhao Shen's right hand, put it on his mouth and bit it lightly, said: "Defend your daughter-in-law outside, don't let her be bullied, this is what a husband should do. Look at you happy like this , it seems like I have done something great."
Seeing that Xiang Yuan saw it, Zhao Shen was not hypocritical, and said directly: "You think it should be, but in the eyes of others, it is very rare. I am not only happy that you protect me, but also that you express your attitude like this." , this is the most powerful protection for me as the main wife!"
Xiang Yuan laughed sullenly, and said: "It can be seen that it is really different in the capital, and everyone knows to protect their status as the main wife!"
Zhao Shen blushed slightly, and said in distress: "In the Hejian Mansion before, the atmosphere was more open, and I could see a lot of brothers who were the main wife. Who would have thought of the capital, who could be on an equal footing with Congzi, but It’s rare for a brother to be the main wife. If I don’t position myself properly and maintain my position as the main wife, I’m afraid others will look down on me even more.”
Hearing this, Xiang Yuan was very happy.
He is rare for his daughter-in-law's temperament of getting more and more courageous when she gets frustrated. As long as she believes in it in her heart, she will be able to move forward firmly. .
"I'm rare for a daughter-in-law's temperament, and it should be like this."
Xiang Yuan leaned over and kissed Zhao Shen vigorously on the cheek.
"That's natural. You said that what you want is someone who can stand by your side. If I can't do this well, I won't have the face to praise you."
Xiang Yuan was amused by his daughter-in-law's arrogant and petite appearance, seeing no one around, he began to think about it.He hurriedly inserted the door bolt, turned around and hugged the daughter-in-law who hadn't reacted yet, and strode towards the bed.
Zhao Shen was picked up by him, and he was stunned for a moment, knowing what Xiang Yuan was going to do.With bad intentions, he deliberately twisted on him, prolonging the tone, and said: "What is Master Xiang doing?"
Xiang Yuan was picked up, and the heat in his lower abdomen surged up. Immediately, something that had half-raised his head pressed hard against Zhao Shen's waist.
"Ask what you know! Don't ask me to be gentle when you stay here."
Zhao Shen struggled to wrap his legs around Xiang Yuan's waist, and put his forehead against him, his translucent eyes were moist at the moment, staring straight into the bottom of Xiang Yuan's heart, his tongue slowly deepened, and he licked a circle of thin lips, successfully teasing him. Xiang Yuan's eyes were on fire, so he blocked his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice, "Who begs for mercy, it's not certain."
