Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 138

On the second day, Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen met the so-called old friend together.

It is not entirely true to say that he is an old friend, and what should be called "benefactor" is more.

The visitor has a handsome appearance and is as gentle as jade. He is about twenty years old, and he looks like a beautiful and elegant person.Standing in front of him, Zhao Shen felt that his eyes had been dazzled, and it was nothing but glowing.

Xiang Yuan smiled as he looked at the young man in front of him who claimed to be the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an.

"It turned out that it was Mr. Qi who came to visit, but he was not welcomed."

After hearing Xiang Yuan's introduction that the young master Pian Pianjia in front of him is the young master Qi who saved Zhuang Zhuang's life, Zhao Shen immediately showed gratitude.

"I didn't thank you face to face that day. I have always been uneasy. I don't want the young master to come to the door in person today. Whatever you say, you will be worshiped by me."

As he said that, Zhao Shen got up and bowed with hands bowed.

On the opposite side, Mr. Qi hurriedly stood up and slightly avoided, saying: "Zhengjun is too polite, what's the point of raising your hand? Besides, Mr. Xiang thanked you repeatedly before, and I also took a thick wad of thanks. To be thanked by Zheng Jun, no matter how you look at it, it seems that I am a bit shameless."

Zhao Shen was amused by his blunt words, and did not insist on thanking him, he just said: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, I can't thank you enough."

The two talked enthusiastically, and sitting at the bottom of Mr. Qi, the other young man who came with him seemed a little impatient. Seeing that Mr. Qi hadn't introduced himself, he couldn't help but reached out and tugged at his sleeve secretly.

Young Master Qi understood, turned his head slightly and stared at Young Master lightly, then turned his head to Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen and said, "It's really inconvenient for me not to reveal my identity in Hejian Mansion, I hope you understand."

Both Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen said it's okay.Combined with the news Xiang Yuan got, this Mr. Qi's life in Marquis of Wu'an was not so easy. He lived in a big house, with a lot of dirty things, and there was always something inhumane about him.

Mr. Qi's smile deepened a bit, and his already delicate face was even more radiant like clouds.

Zhao Shen couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart: This young master is more delicate and lovely than his little brother.

"This is my younger brother, Qi Ran, and I are brothers of the same mother. I told Master Xiang earlier that my younger brother has heard that Master Xiang rescued dozens of He family members in Tongping Mansion by fighting mountain bandits alone. After the deed, I admire Lord Xiang very much. I heard that Lord Xiang has gone to Beijing, so he just forced me to come here, saying that he must meet his hero in person."

The young master named Qi Ran was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Compared with his brother, Mr. Qi, his appearance was not so exquisite, but he was also very handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a thick head and thick head.

After listening to his brother's jokes, he was not ashamed, touched his head and stiffened his neck, and admitted it very straightforwardly.

"Of course I respect Mr. Xiang very much. Mr. Xiang is not afraid of power or bandits. He has made great achievements and has a clean sleeve. He is really a model of court officials."

After all, he deliberately stood up and took a few steps to Xiang Yuan, blinked his eyes, and bowed his hands sincerely: "Master Xiang, if you don't mind, you can call me Qi Ran from now on! I have learned some kung fu and thought to myself Hands and feet are still neat, if the young master in your lord's house is interested in martial arts, I can often come to teach him, and I will never hide my secrets."

Xiang Yuan was shocked by his enthusiastic "star chasing" fan. After coming here for so long, he was almost not used to such a straightforward and enthusiastic expression.This young man named Qi Ran in front of him is definitely looking after him like an idol!

Zhao Shen was surprised for a while.

He had never seen a person who expressed his thoughts so frankly, and the identity of the other party was not an ordinary small family, but a prince's family background, which surprised him even more.

Could it be that this style is popular in the capital?

Young Master Qi Qi Yun could see clearly behind him, resisted the urge to touch his forehead, and took a step forward to smooth things over for his younger brother.

"Master Xiang and Zhengjun, please don't take offense. My younger brother is straightforward when he urinates. Whoever is pleasing to the eye is a thousand good. I can't wait to treat him with all my heart. For this, I have worried a lot, lest he This temperament has been taken advantage of."

Hearing this, Xiang Yuan's eyes moved, and he said with a smile, "Don't call me Master Xiang, my wife and I are older than you, if you don't mind, just call Brother Xiang and Sister Xiang."

Sure enough, Qi Yun agreed very readily, and as soon as Xiang Yuan finished speaking, he pulled Qi Ran, yelling at Second Brother Xiang and Sister-in-law Xiang at the same time, screaming without any malice.

Zhao Shen's face twitched, and while he responded with a smile, his heart was full of bullshit: Damn, why is he getting more and more numb to the name sister-in-law now!

Don't call her the second sister-in-law, in fact, she can be called the second brother-in-law!

Resisting the urge to pinch the people around them, Zhao Shen and Xiang Yuan chatted with them for a long time, during which Qi Yun and Qi Ran met with Xiang Yu who stayed at home to study their homework.Qi Yun and Xiang Yu are about the same age, one was born as a duke of an aristocratic family, and has extraordinary knowledge, the other has solid knowledge and accumulated extensive knowledge, and they have a good chat. On the contrary, Qi Ran wanted to show off his martial arts in front of Xiang Anjue, the young son of the Xiang family. Learning Kung Fu, but he didn't want Xiang Anjue to be sent to the academy by Xiang Yuan to study since he entered Beijing, and he wasn't even in the residence until Xiu Mu.

Qi Ran, who had nothing else to do, listened to his elder brother and Xiang Yu's swearing and sayings, and his eyes were filled with stares, and he couldn't sit still.Seeing his idol Xiang Yuan in front of him again, he endured and endured, but he still couldn't hold back and rubbed against Xiang Yuan, asking questions eagerly.

Here, when Zhao Shen stepped into the hall, he saw the young master Qi Ran standing in front of Xiang Yuan with an excited look, nodding and laughing following Xiang Yuan's words.Zhuo Zhuo woke up from sleep, but he didn’t see Zhao Shen, and kept crying, so Zhao Shen had to go to coax Zhuo Zhuo first, and finally he was happy, and he was willing to follow the servant girl to the garden to watch flowers and catch birds, so he was able to escape Come back and continue to accompany the guests.

"Young master likes to wield knives and guns so much. Could it be that he wants to join the army in the future?"

Zhao Shen was just teasing him, thinking that the young master of Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is really funny, a young man in his teens, rich and wealthy, not to mention having a delicate heart, just like his brother Qi Yun, he should be a rich man His deep thoughts can be seen, but this person has a naive, romantic, straightforward appearance, I really don't know how to cultivate it.

"I want to join the army, but unfortunately my brother refuses."

Qi Ran shook his head, looked at Xiang Yuan again, and asked earnestly, "Second brother Xiang, do you think I should join the army? I have learned martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. If I don't join the army, I am good at martial arts. It's not a waste."

Qi Yun, who was always paying attention to the words on the other side, immediately frowned and stared at the words: "Is it a joke to join the army? If one is not good, it will hurt your muscles and bones. If you are unlucky, it is hard to say that you will lose your life. You just have the heart to leave your brother behind." one person?"

Qi Ran was most afraid of what Qi Yun would say. Since he was a child, he and his elder brother depended on each other for life, and he also knew that in the Hou Mansion, if his elder brother didn't protect him all the way, he might die before he grew up.Therefore, he was extremely unwilling to go against his brother's wishes.However, he really likes to learn martial arts, and he is extremely interested in the formation of troops. Telling him to give up these things from now on is really more painful than cutting flesh.

Qi Ran frowned, seeing Qi Yun's frowning and cold eyes, she was afraid that he would preach again and immediately beg for mercy.

Qi Yun deliberately dispelled Qi Ran's idea of ​​joining the army in front of Xiang Yuan, but when he changed his mind, he realized that this was too hasty and offensive, so he switched to talking about something else, and within a quarter of an hour, he brought Qi Ran said goodbye.

After the husband and wife sent the two young masters of Qi out, Zhao Shen walked back with Xiang Yuan, and said, "This eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an has a good temper. Who is he so familiar with? It seems that there is some friendship. Simple words are deep!"

Xiang Yuan laughed sullenly: "You might as well say why he is so familiar."

Zhao Shen didn't take it seriously, rolled his eyes at him, and said: "It's not my fault for thinking too much, the capital is already deep in water, and you said before that the situation of Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, why don't I have doubts?"

Xiang Yuan stretched out his hand and squeezed the delicate fingers of his daughter-in-law, and said: "You don't have to worry about it, it's okay. Although the generation of Marquis Wu'an still bears the name of Lord Marquis, they are incapable of writing. No, just a worthless wretch except for a good skin. It is said that two years ago, the real head of the mansion was Mr. Qi. Although this Mr. Qi has no talent and reputation, he is a good businessman. He has a lot to do with you. Topics to talk about."

Zhao Shen frowned: "To be fair, what am I talking about with such a young man!"

Xiang Yuan bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "Although people in Beijing mentioned the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion in the past few years and said that there were two heirs, but a few years ago, some people remembered that there were a brother and a younger brother in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion. son."

Zhao Shen's eyes widened in disbelief, and he murmured: "No wonder I think this Young Master Qi's looks are a bit too handsome, I don't think he is a brother?!"

After saying that, he still refused to believe it and said to himself: "This is really the most outstanding-looking brother I have ever seen. He is neither powdery nor pretentious. He is natural, but he is unparalleled in beauty. , this kind of self-cultivation is truly superior."

It was the first time for Xiang Yuan to hear Zhao Shen praise someone like this, and he couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Look at your boast, is it possible that you are better than your husband-in-law and me?"

Zhao Shen looked up and saw Zhuozhuo coming out of the garden, pinching the flopping brown bird in his hand, seeing him running over with eyebrows and eyes curving, shouting: "Dad, dad, bird, look, bird!" .”

As soon as he caught the little chubby pounced on him, Zhao Shen was in a good mood, turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Xiang Yuan, and said cheerfully: "Where is it, no matter how good the others are, they are no match for our Lord Xiang's little finger!"

Xiang Yuan looked proud, satisfied with the answer, and began to tease his youngest son in the mood: "Zhu Zhuo, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Bird, big bird!"

This answer is so thought-provoking.Secretly wiped a sweat from the bottom of his heart, Xiang Yuan felt that facing his son, his thoughts should not be too divergent.

"Who caught it?"

"Tiger!" Zhuo Zhuo stretched out his finger, pointing at a small follower with a thick head and a thick head following behind him.

Huzi is eight years old this year. He is the son of Qi Zhangshao and Xiang Yuan's entourage surnamed Meng.Seeing that he is simple and honest, Xiang Yuan intends to train him as Zhuo Zhuo's personal entourage, and he has been by Zhuo Zhuo's side since last year.

Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen were surprised to hear that it was a bird caught by Hu Zi.Xiang Yuan was even more surprised when he heard Hu Zi's embarrassing explanation that he was a bird caught in a small trap set by his father.I don't think this kid has military talent, so he can train him well in the future.

Xiang Yuan hugged Xiang Zhuozhuo, Zhao Shen followed, they walked towards the inner courtyard together, passed by the Chuihua Gate, happened to meet Qi Zhangshao and several mothers on the stove carrying several baskets of fresh vegetables.Zhao Shen hastily called Master Qi to stop, and said with a smile: "Master Qi, remember to add old vinegar fungus to dinner at night, put more vinegar, your Lord Xiang likes to eat it!"

Qi Zhangshao didn't know, so he secretly thought that he didn't see the master who likes to eat sour food on weekdays, so it's strange why he called the name today to be jealous, and he wanted to put more.

Xiang Yuan thought for a moment, and knew that Zhao Shen was making fun of his behavior just now, so he couldn't help but secretly stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Shen's fingers vigorously, leaned over and whispered: "Alright, after I finish eating for my husband, I happen to meet Zhengjun in the evening." Let’s have an in-depth discussion. In fact, this old vinegar, if you taste it carefully and touch it carefully, the taste is simply indescribable.”

Zhao Shen didn't dodge or dodge, only the tips of his ears were pink, he said: "I'm afraid Mr. Xiang will work too hard, and he will be bored before he can touch it carefully."

Xiang Yuan hugged Zhuozhuo, afraid that he would be surprised by laughing out loud, so he just laughed muffledly: "No, no, Zhengjun wants to believe in being a husband, no matter how hard he works, he will persist in finishing what should be done. Taste it, and nothing will fall.”

Shi Jin rolled his eyes, Zhao Shen stretched out his hand to snatch Zhuo Zhuo, hugged him and strode forward first, and at the same time threw a sharp eye, he said: "Taste carefully, be careful not to knock off the two front teeth! "

Xiang Yuan lost his scruples and laughed loudly, causing Xiang Zhuozhuo, who was being hugged in front of him, to turn his head happily, waved his little hand, and opened his mouth to reveal small teeth like rice grains: "Smile, tooth loss."

Zhao Shen was so teased that he couldn't help laughing.

But as for the evening, whether the husband and wife had an in-depth communication on the old vinegar, you can find out a thing or two just by looking at the morning after the bath on the second day, and the fact that Mr. Xiang almost got up late again.

Zhao Shen rubbed his waist and leaned on the head of the bed, watching Xiang Yuan hurriedly dressed and washed, he said angrily: "You deserve it, you deserve it! Next time I'll see if you still make trouble! If I leave you alone next time, I won't Surnamed Zhao!"

Xiang Yuan pinched Zhao Shen's puffy cheek with his hands while he was busy, and said perfunctorily: "Well, if you don't have a surname, you don't have a surname. The surname Xiang is actually quite good."

Zhao Shen made a gesture to hit someone with a pillow, Xiang Yuan laughed and straightened his clothes before rushing out of the room.

"Keep an eye on him and tell Zhengjun to sleep well. If the young master wakes up, don't call him over to disturb him. Change his clothes and feed him before bringing him here."

Hearing Xiang Yuan's rambling orders from outside, Zhao Shen curled up his mouth and lay back down again.

Now that Congzi had ordered him to go down, he took another rest and returned to the cage to feel better.

On this side, Xiang Yuan went to the morning court, took the blueprints of the summer palace, and followed several principals from the Ministry of Industry to the Hefeng Garden.Shaoqing, before King Anping arrived, it was the prince of the East Palace who came first.

Xiang Yuan sighed to His Highness the Crown Prince in front of him.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Beijing this time, the one who felt the biggest change was not Emperor Jing'an, but His Royal Highness, the former junior high school boy.
