Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 136

In early spring, everything blooms.Near and far, as far as the eye can see, are all shades of green.On the spacious official road, there is a tung oil carriage pulled by two tall horses at the beginning. The doors open on the left and right, and there is a small window at the front and back, respectively hung with dark blue curtains.A layer of linoleum paper was laid on the roof of the carriage to prevent rainwater from seeping off in rainy days.The entire carriage is simple and elegant, solid and tall, and at first glance, it is not the regulation that ordinary people can have.

Then look at the driver who is driving the carriage, his eyes are exquisite, his arm muscles are bulging, and his movements are crisp and neat, obviously he is a Lianjiazi.

Except for the leading carriage, there are four mule carts following behind, all of the same style, judging from the size of the carriages, it must be very spacious inside.Behind the mule cart, there were two other mules pulling the cart, on which were stacked high boxes and luggage, tightly bound with thick hemp ropes, even if the road was slightly bumpy, there was no shaking.In the free space on both sides of the cart, there were five or six strong men with big arms, round waists and high spirits, all wearing the same style of shorts, and they were either guards or entourages.Four or five people followed behind on tall horses, always on guard.

Such a mighty group of people, when they meet ordinary merchants, the other party will consciously keep a distance from them.Those who are knowledgeable, seeing the regulation of leading carriages, know that only officials and lords can sit in them, and even high officials, ordinary county magistrates, cannot use such a large carriage.

At this time, in the front mule cart, Xiang Yu raised his eyes, put down the book in his hand, looked forward at Zhuangzhuang looking restless, and couldn't help pursing his lips and smiling.He took out a box from the drawer under the table and opened it, revealing the snow-white and soft pastry with fine frosting inside, and waved to Xiang Anjue.

"Zhuang Zhuang, come, eat ice cream."

This kind of ice cream is a special product bought from the county town I passed by. It is a soft piece with various fruit fillings inside. It tastes sweet and soft. It is very good. Zhuang Zhuang eats it several times every time. piece.But the teacher's wife was afraid that he would damage his teeth, so she never allowed him to eat more, and asked Xiang Yu to watch him so that he would not steal it.

Xiang Anjue turned his head and saw that it was ice cream, and immediately smiled.I can't wait to reach out and pick up a piece and put it in my mouth, squinting my eyes to taste.

"It's delicious, Brother Yu, you can eat it too."

Xiang Yu shook his head, he doesn't like sweets.And the ice cream was eaten all the way, but there was only this box left, if he was greedy and ate more, in the next few days, Zhuang Zhuang would have nothing to satisfy his hunger.

"Brother Yu, do you think Zhuo Zhuo will know that I am his brother?"

Xiang Yu tried his best to suppress a smile, and replied solemnly: "Yes, Zhuozhuo is excited every time he sees you?"

"Oh." Xiang Anjue responded, and as if to explain himself, said: "It's good to know, so that he doesn't think that he is the only one with Daddy and Adie, and thinks that Daddy and Adie belong to him alone." , I'm an older brother!"

Xiang Yu could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

On weekdays, seeing Zhuang Zhuang looking like a little adult, with a smart mind and quick response, he thought that Zhuang Zhuang really didn't care that his newborn brother would be favored by his father and father, but he didn't expect that the child was still a child My child, no matter how calm you appear on the surface, you still have to eat it in your heart.

This time, the master's term of office has expired, and the sage sent an order to appoint the master as the Minister of Internal Affairs Zuo Shilang. He is mainly responsible for the construction of the residence of the imperial relatives and relatives in the capital. His rank is equivalent to that of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry. He is a third-rank Beijing official.It's just that according to his understanding, the Department of Internal Affairs and Construction is not easy to take care of.Because the people he dealt with were all relatives of the emperor with high-sightedness, it would be a thankless task for someone without the confidence to take up this position.

I thought that my master would be able to work in the Six Departments after being transferred to the capital after his term of office expired, but I don't know what the sage intends to do. He actually appointed the master a position that would offend nobles if he didn't pay attention. Could it be that the sage is dissatisfied?

Xiang Yu couldn't figure it out, and every time he thought about it, he would secretly worry.

Xiang Yuan didn't know that Xiang Yu was so worried in private. At this moment, he and Zhao Shen were sitting in the big carriage, one was reading a book, the other was reading the account book, and the other was sleeping softly on the couch.

The carriage that Xiang Yuan was riding in was very spacious inside, and because the doors opened from the left and the right, there was a small couch at the front and back for resting.In front of the small couch, there is a small table fixed on the carriage, and the place where the tea cups are placed on the small table is also recessed and fixed, so that no matter how bumpy the carriage is, the tea will not be spilled.There are three layers of drawers under the small table, and the items placed in each layer of drawers are different, such as preserved fruits and cakes, bowls and chopsticks, cups, handkerchiefs and towels, all are miscellaneous, but you can find everything you need on the road.

After reading the last page, Zhao Shen put down the account book.After rubbing his hands and feeling warm, he then attached himself to touch the back vest of Zhu Zhuo who was sleeping on the small couch. Seeing that his back was not sweating much, he felt relieved, covered the small thin quilt again, and gently She nodded at his stretched little face after falling asleep, and a smile appeared on his mouth unconsciously.

"Daughter-in-law, Zhuozhuo and Zhuangzhuang were really printed out of the same mold when we were young."

At some point, Xiang Yuan came over, and together with him looked down at Xiao Zhuo Zhuo who was sleeping soundly, the breath blew in his ears, causing a series of itches.

Zhao Shen couldn't help reaching out to touch, thinking that Zhuang Zhuang was afraid that he and Congzi would favor Zhuozhuo and stop pampering him, so he pretended to be calm, beating around the bush and asking when his younger brother would be able to live separately, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Zhuang Zhuang was feeling uneasy. During the meal earlier, he tentatively said that he wanted to come and have a rest together. It looked like he was afraid that we would forget him. He felt so happy and distressed at the same time."

Xiang Yuan snorted, sat back and turned over a page of the book to continue reading, and said, "It's as if you haven't been weaned yet! If that's the case, call him over for a rest at night."

Zhao Shen pursed his lips and snickered.

It's disgusting to say, but in the end, isn't it reluctant to be strong and sad?After living with Congzi for many years, Zhao Shen felt that he had a good understanding of Congzi's temper.Don't look at Congzi's strict requirements on Zhuang Zhuang's studies, but he knows how to take care of Zhuang Zhuang's mind when it comes to daily trivial matters. It can be said that Congzi puts more effort into daily trivial matters than his studies.

Zhuang Zhuang has been a clever and flexible child since he was a child. In order to prevent Zhuang Zhuang from growing up wrong, giving birth to evil thoughts and changing his temperament, he watched with his own eyes that Congzi often meditated in the middle of the night and wrote at his desk. He made a list of how to teach Zhuang Zhuang. A thick stack of books, not only to read by himself, but also asked him to read, can be described as painstaking.

With Cong Zi's dedication and careful consideration, Zhuang Zhuang not only maintains his lively and clever personality, but also has a pure character and both virtues and virtues. Over time, he will surely grow into a handsome gentleman.

As soon as Xiang Yuan saw the proud expression on his daughter-in-law's face, he knew that he must be thinking of Zhuang Zhuang again.Thinking of his daughter-in-law who always thought Zhuang Zhuang was very pure and kind, Xiang Yuan had the urge to step forward and shake his shoulder.

Daughter-in-law, wake up, you have been cheated!

Xiang Zhuangzhuang has been by his side since he was a child, and Xiang Yu, a black-bellied child who teaches from time to time, and three companions who have become crooked for some reason, cheating people one after another, Xiang Dazhuang surrounded by everyone , it’s really not Jack Su, it’s clearly a sesame-stuffed Lantern Festival!

Walking to the outskirts of the capital, the breath of spring is particularly strong.

The horse-drawn carriage passed by, and people enjoying the flowers in spring can be seen everywhere.Zhao Shen lifted the curtain to look, and saw that both the girl and the elder brother had already put on light spring shirts, light yellow willow green, lavender light pink, and elegantly made-up faces.

"The capital is indeed as bustling and lively as ever."

Xiang Yuan didn't raise his head, and said casually, "It's just that there are more people than other places. If you talk about prosperity, isn't it even worse in Hejian and Jiangnan?"

Zhao Shen snorted: "Jiangnan is not only prosperous, it is extravagant! In terms of humanistic atmosphere, the capital is stable and stable, not as petty and impetuous as Jiangnan."

Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and laughed, "I never thought that my daughter-in-law has such unique eyesight and different opinions. My husband is really surprised and amazed, and I feel very proud!"

Zhao Shen thought in his heart that such a land full of luxuries and temptations, why can't he take a good look at it!But with a wooden face on his face, he squinted at him. "speak English!"

Xiang Yuan touched his nose, suppressed a smile, and said, "Daughter-in-law is mighty!"

"Oh, oh, don't pinch that, don't pinch that, it's all tender meat, it hurts like hell."

Seeing Xiang Yuan pretending to be weird, winking his eyebrows and losing his usual suave manner, Zhao Shen laughed a few times, rolled up his arms and stretched them out in front of him, rolled up Xiang Yuan's sleeves, lifted his chin, Said: "A man, with thin skin and tender flesh, what does he look like! I am like this, I am strong! You have to tan to my color, you know?"

Xiang Yuan looked at the two brightly colored arms in front of him, and tried his best to flatten the corners of his mouth, so as not to let his smile get out of hand and make his daughter-in-law angry.Seriously, seriously, nodding: "Well, what my wife said is that I will try my best to bask in the sun and try to have the same sex (sai) as my wife."

Zhao Shen put down his sleeves and looked sideways at him: "Why do I feel that your words are insincere? Tell me, are you holding back your laughter?"

"Illusion, this must be your illusion, daughter-in-law. Oh, it's the gate of the city."

Clearly changing the subject, Zhao Shen glanced at him, intending to let Congzi go temporarily.However, after staying in the capital and settling down, hehe, he will definitely supervise Congzi basking in the sun all day long!

Xiang Yuan brought his family to Beijing, but it was actually very low-key, and he didn't deliberately publicize it.However, in the eyes of those who kept an eye on his movements, Xiang Yuan's convoy was followed secretly by countless servants who had never entered the city gate on this day.

"Master, there are people in the dark, more than one place."

Niu Er rode his horse close to the carriage and whispered.

Xiang Yuan put down the book and waved his hand: "Don't worry about them, go to the Supervision Department to report and hand over the cards first."

Zhao Shen was a little worried, and while feeding Zhuo Zhuo who had woken up with rice cereal, he said: "The water in the capital is deep, and we don't have any relatives to support us, son, be careful."

Like Xiang Yu, Zhao Shen was extremely puzzled by the appointment of the saint.

Superintendent is just a good name, but in reality it is a thankless job.Doing well is the duty of a courtier. If you don't do well, if you are not careful, you will be charged with contempt for the royal family.Before, it was clear that the sage valued Congzi very much, and he was related to the prince Li Chengqian. How could he send such an errand in the end?

"Don't worry, the sage naturally has his reasons for doing this. Besides, you are very talented and intelligent, but you are only a superintendent, so you can't trouble me."

Hearing what Xiang Yuan said, Zhao Shen realized that he had actually spoken out the worries that had been suppressed in his heart since he received the transfer order.When I taste Congzi's words again, I can't help laughing.

"I've never seen anyone boasting so much. I've never heard of a relative named Wang in our family."

Xiang Yuan was stunned for a rare moment, and after realizing it, he raised an orchid finger and put it on the side of his face, winked at Zhao Shen, and said in a soft voice: "My family is much more powerful than my relatives surnamed Wang."

Zhao Shen: (⊙o⊙)...

One hand covered Zhuo Zhuo's curious eyes, and the other hand picked up the small wooden sword engraved by Xiang Yu for Zhuo Zhuo, pointed it at Xiang Yuan, and shouted: "Hey, you are a bold evildoer, and you can't show your original shape quickly. !"

Zhuozhuo pulled Zhao Shen's hand covering his eyes, his eyes were shining brightly, and he followed the voice of his mother and said softly, "Squeeze, reveal yourself!"

Before Xiang Yuan was doing anything, Zhao Shen couldn't hold back his laughter.

Seeing his daughter-in-law no longer bothered about his errands, Xiang Yuan secretly wiped off his sweat, at least he didn't waste his image, and finally won his daughter-in-law a smile.

At this time, in a large courtyard of a deep house in the capital, there was a man with a delicate face standing facing the window, splashing ink, and someone knocked on the door and came in to report in a low voice.

After finishing the last stroke, the man put down his pen, picked up a cloth towel to wipe his hands, and said casually: "Oh, so Xiang Yuan has already arrived in the capital." After the words fell, he seemed to think of something, smiled and ordered: "This matter Don't tell the young master yet, find a way to hide it from him first, and wait for me to surprise him."
