Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 123

But soon Er Niang didn't have to hesitate. What she was worried about was bumped into by Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen on the day she returned to her mother's house in the second year of junior high.

Here's the thing.

The second day of the lunar new year was the time for a married woman to return to her natal home. Zhao Shen, as a married woman, naturally had to go back to the Zhao residence to Yingyingmao.Now the Zhao Mansion, which used to be noisy in the past, only lived with Mr. Zhao and the second son of the Zhao family, and three or two servants. It was not at all as prosperous as it was when Xiang Yuan first came with the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.Entering the gate, the inside is dilapidated everywhere, only the main courtyard is served by servants, and it looks a little decent.

When Master Zhao saw Xiang Yuan, he was extremely enthusiastic, and he kept pulling him to talk about it, trying to keep the two of them back.The second son of the Zhao family came in with a shy face, and said fawningly, "Father ordered me to prepare the food early on. They are all fresh and delicious dishes bought by someone this morning. Congzi and Jinyan haven't returned for a long time. This time they come back , let's have a good drink."

Xiang Yuan glanced at Zhao Shen, saw him sitting aside sullenly without even a smile on his face, he smiled and said: "There is no need for dinner, Jin Yan misses Dad, and has to hurry to see him."

Mentioning this, Mr. Zhao felt very uncomfortable and full of resentment.Ever since he had such a quarrel with Mrs. Zhao, he has gained a bad reputation in Lizhong. Not only did his wife run away, but he even kidnapped his servant. The business of the shop became more and more difficult, and the family's expenses were high. And when Xu'er got married, she wanted money for everything.Up to now, not only the Zhao family's daily expenses cannot be maintained, but the concubine's room is even more delusional. Even if he wants to get a housemate by his side, no girl is willing to!The most irritating thing is that the girl is still threatening him, if she is forced again, she will ask for money and leave without serving her again!Poor Zhao's mansion only has so few servants left, if one is left, there will be chaos in the house, helpless, Mr. Zhao has no choice but to give up the idea of ​​opening the house, and hold back for his own life.

Ignoring Master Zhao and Second Young Master Zhao who were struggling to keep behind him, Xiang Yuan led Zhao Shen out of the Zhao Mansion without looking back.Xiang Yuan has always been too lazy to deal with problems with his character.

Xu Yixuan is now in charge of the business of Jinji Shop in Lizhong County, and has a considerable income in money every month. Even though he moved away from the Zhao Mansion, he is living happily by himself.

Seeing Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen coming together, Xu Yixuan busily prepared to eat, piled up good things in front of Zhao Shen, looked at his stomach earnestly, and said cheerfully: "It looks like he's still a kid. Later, you have to move more every day, don't rely on the cold weather, the son loves you, so don't bother to move, or you will suffer in the end."

Zhao Shen only listened to Xu Yixuan's long-winded words with a smile.He and Congzi were away all year round and couldn't accompany Xu Yixuan much, and he felt guilty in his heart, now that he finally came back to get together, no matter how nagging Xu Yixuan was, Zhao Shen would be happy with it.

During the period, Xiang Yuan invited Xu Yixuan to take up the post with them, so that he and his wife could be filial, Xu Yixuan was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he still refused.

Although he moved out from the Zhao residence, he did not break up with Mr. Zhao after all, and his status was still the servant of the Zhao family, so he couldn't get on the stage.It's okay to stay in Lizhong. Everyone treats him preferentially for the sake of Gongzi, but when he goes outside, most of Jinyan's daily contacts are official family members. Not only can he not help Jinyan with his status, but It will become his taint, and then he will be excluded, how uncomfortable Jie Shi Jinyan must be in private!So, it's better not to go at first, and stay in Lizhong with peace of mind. As long as Jin Yan and Congzi are doing well, he has nothing to worry about.

The sun was short in winter, but we had lunch at Xu Yixuan's place and had a short rest, the sun began to dip to the west, Xiang Yuan took Zhao Shen to say goodbye, and the mule cart along the road creaked on the snow.On the west side of the city, because there are mostly rice grain, salt, oil grocery stores here, it looks busier than other places.Sitting in a mule cart far away, Xiang Yuan heard someone outside yelling in a high voice: "I bought this donkey cart new this year, and you hit me right after I drove it out. You said, You don’t need to pay anything, can you get by?”

The other voice was a little calmer, but there was a hint of arrogance in the words: "Ten coins, enough!"

"Ten coins? He Dagui, where are you sending beggars?! If you don't have fifty coins, you will definitely not succeed!"

"Giving you ten pennies is to think highly of you. I advise you to be honest and get out of the way quickly with the copper coin, or I will miss my business. Let's see how I deal with you!"

"Hey, He Dagui, why are you trembling? It's just that you sent your sister to the Xiang family to be a concubine, so you really think of yourself as a decent uncle? You try to clean me up!"

Afterwards, there were the voices of the neighbors trying to persuade him to make peace. Xiang Yuan listened, but eight out of ten tried to persuade the one with the loud voice again, saying that a good man would not suffer from immediate losses, ten pennies would be ten pennies, if it really provoked He Dagui is in a hurry, who knows what kind of shoes he will wear.

Xiang Yuan was still listening leisurely, but Zhao Shen at the side couldn't bear it anymore.He finally understands, that what He Dagui is most likely the elder brother of Xiang Lixin's concubine, and now he is said to be bullying others, but what kind of power is he using?Is it a gift?ridiculous!If there is no Mongzi, who would know him as the onion?

Although Congzi is now a local second-rank official, it is not as good as those who are officials in the capital with a deep background and a family to rely on. It is really difficult to rely on yourself for everything.And these things I don't know the so-called, but if they get a little relationship, they use the tiger skin as a banner, and they do not know what they have done under the name of "Mongzi"!hateful!

The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhao Shen raised the curtain, looked forward, and saw a group of people and two donkey carts blocking the entrance of the alley ahead, the one in the brand new fine cotton robe was He Dagui, he looked like a human being.The other side said that it was the man who hit He Dagui's car. He was tall and big, with a fierce appearance, and he was not convinced at this moment.

"Niu Er, go and find out what this He Dagui has done."

Niu Er understood and left.

Be good, it's terrible, seeing Zhengjun's cold and frosty appearance, I'm probably very angry.But in his heart, Niu Er also felt that this kind of thing was really unavoidable.All those who are related to the master are now in Lizhong City, relying on the power of the master, although not all of them act recklessly and bully others, but there are always some people with bad intentions who take pleasure in bullying others.

"Congzi, is it alright if I do this?"

Xiang Yuan leaned over with crooked eyebrows, and smacked the corner of his daughter-in-law's mouth.

"My daughter-in-law can do whatever she wants, and she will support her unconditionally!"

With a glance at him, Zhao Shen didn't bother to entangle with the question of whether his daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law or not. The main reason is that Miaozi really doesn't remember to eat or beat him. No matter how many times he says it, he will still call him daughter-in-law next time, forget it.

After dinner in the evening, Niu Er, who was inquiring about the news, returned, and the news he brought back was really bad.

The He family just opened a small sesame oil shop before, and the family had good looks, so they treated the girl He Shi, who was of the right age, as an item for sale, and dreamed of selling it for a good price.It just so happened that Xiang Li had lived alone and couldn't sleep, and wanted a daughter, so he revealed to the public that he wanted to have a concubine.The He family was overjoyed when they heard the news. Regardless of He's ideas, they got things done in private.When the He family entered the Xiang family, He Dagui, relying on Xiang Li's gentle temperament, didn't bother to argue too much with him, so he boldly went out to pretend to be a tiger, and there were many times, and because he never made mistakes, he raised his courage bigger and bigger.

Neighbors were concerned about Xiang Yuan's status as an official, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they were still polite to He Dagui.In just one year, the He family became completely insane.When doing business, you are short of catties, goods are purchased, and money is in arrears.He Dagui had five or six street thugs and gangsters around him, and whenever he had a conflict with someone, he ordered these hooligans to smash and rob other people's shops and houses, and he almost became a local tyrant.

"It's really abominable! This He Dagui should really be taken by the county master to make a few big boards to improve his memory! Why should he ruin the reputation of Congzi like this, it's really maddening!"

Xiang Yuan rubbed his chin and nodded: "Well, what Jin Yan said is right, it's really wrong for the county master not to come forward to take care of such a dominant place."

With outsiders around, Xiang Yuan never called Zhao Shen's daughter-in-law, lest the thin-skinned daughter-in-law would become angry from embarrassment and secretly resort to tricks.

"Niu Er, go over there and tell the old man, if he has anything to worry about, just speak up."

Niu Er responded, turned around and went to report to Xiang Li.After half a cup of tea, he came back again and said: "The old man said, just let the old man do it freely, he has nothing to say. He also said this matter, he was not in charge of it, and there will never be such an incident in the future Happened, please rest assured, master."

Xiang Yuan smiled, and that night he carefully wrote a letter of greeting to the Grand Master of Lizhong County.The magistrate of the county has stayed in the position of magistrate of Lizhong for ten years, and even if Xiang Yuan didn't write a book to visit, he would come to visit with the cheek.After all, counting, he still had a little friendship with Xiang Yuan's father, and he could barely hold on to his thigh.After returning from Sister Xiang's place on the third day of the lunar new year, Xiang Yuan came to visit, and with just a few words in his words, the magistrate of Lizhong County understood, knowing that this concubine's family of the Xiang family is not valued, so he can do whatever he wants .So he didn't forgive him anymore, when he caught He Dagui making a mistake, he was arrested with great fanfare in the yamen and beaten ten boards, then thrown into the classroom and locked up for five or six days, completely frightened the arrogant He Dagui into a quail, and never dared to shake his power.

This is something.

At this time, after the second day of junior high school, and early in the morning of the third day of junior high school, Xiang Yuan took Song Da to set off to go to Miss Xiang of Jin'an.He left Niu Er at Xiang's house in Chuiliu Lane.His daughter-in-law is inconvenient to move now, and Niu Er will stay with him, so he will be more at ease.

At this moment in Li's house in Jin'an, Sister Xiang watched her husband enter the whole house without looking back, and wrung her handkerchief with hatred.Pulling over the two daughters, he taught: "The second uncle will come over tomorrow, do you all remember what to say?"

The two daughters looked at each other and nodded hesitantly.

"Mom, is that okay?"

The eldest daughter was old after all, and she always felt that what her mother called her and her younger sister was not something that little girls like them should say.

"What's wrong! Don't you hope that you will have a few more brothers and sisters in the future?"

Being reprimanded by Sister Xiang with raised eyebrows and straight eyes, the two daughters shrank their necks and did not dare to speak again.
