Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 120 Sister Xiang's Problem

On the second day, everyone gathered in the main hall for breakfast.Mrs. Li was very happy, and kept serving dishes to Xiang Zhuangzhuang.

"Zhuang Zhuang, try this fried bun, it's Ah Ting's best."

Xiang Zhuangzhuang tried his best to keep his eating appearance elegant, but unfortunately, the food in front of him was something he had never seen in Hejian Mansion before. Well, the elegance and good looks he managed to maintain must have been broken a long time ago.

Seeing that Xiang Zhuangzhuang was eating happily, Zhao Shen also had a smile on his face.This journey was hurried and slow, so the diet was naturally not as refined as it used to be, and Zhuang Zhuang never complained, eating whatever he was given.Now that he returned to Lizhong and settled down, Zhao Shen also hoped that Zhuang Zhuang would eat well, so he didn't say anything even when he saw that he was eating vigorously.

Turning his gaze around calmly, Zhao Shen didn't notice any strange faces.Thinking about what happened to Chunmei, Brother Xiang would never allow his concubine to enter the house on such occasions.

Sitting directly opposite to him was Feng Niang, Zhao Shen looked at it carefully by serving porridge and cakes from time to time, and was surprised to find that Feng Niang seemed to have aged ten years in just a few years.There are thin crow's feet in the corners of the eyes, and there is always a layer of sadness between the eyebrows, and the whole person looks depressed.

How could it be like this?

Zhao Shen felt uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that he couldn't swallow the delicious breakfast in his mouth.

As soon as Zhao Shen slowed down while eating, Xiang Yuan noticed it.Raising his hand to serve him another bowl of five-meter porridge, Xiang Yuan said softly: "What? Is your appetite not good? This porridge is good, so I'll use some more. But if you really can't eat it, don't hold on. I'll eat it when I'm hungry. Then tell someone to do it for you."

Now that his body is heavy, Zhao Shen didn't dare to make fun of his stomach, he nodded after hearing this, although he didn't have a good appetite, he still picked up Xiang Yuan's porridge and drank it slowly.

Xiang Li noticed the commotion here, and seeing that Congzi treated Zhao Shen tenderly as always, he couldn't help being a little dazed.

Mrs. Li saw that the relationship between Xiang Yuan and his wife was still so strong, but on the other hand, when he looked at Muzi and his wife, although they were concerned about face, they still sat next to each other, but they didn't say a word the whole time, Feng Niang only cared about the two little ones. Yes, as for Muzi, he just ate in silence and didn't know what to think about, most likely he was still thinking about the newborn little girl.Li Shi sighed incredulously.

After dinner, the three children, Zhuang Zhuang, An Jiu and An Wei, played Nine Links in the side hall. The adults in the main hall drank tea and chatted, but the atmosphere was not so harmonious.Mrs. Li only stayed for less than a cup of tea, so she rubbed her forehead and went back to the room to rest.

Feng Niang looked at Zhao Shen's bulging belly, and whispered to him about the joys and troubles of raising children.Xiang Li pulled Xiang Yuan to sit on the other side, and told him with a slightly smug expression one by one what he had done at home over the years, how much his business had expanded, how much the house in Weeping Willow Lane had been expanded, and how much he planned to buy the neighbor next door after the new year. kind.Xiang Yuan just listened quietly, and when he finished speaking, he signaled Zhao Shen to bring the gift box.

"I heard that you have an extra daughter from a concubine. The younger brother of Man Yuejiu has not caught up, but the presents are indispensable."

Hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed across Xiang Li's face.He took the gift box awkwardly, and said: "It's just a concubine, so it's not worth mobilizing people like this."

Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing compared to the guests at your father's banquet, which will move the crowd."

Xiang Li became more and more embarrassed, besides embarrassing, he was also a little bit angry.

"I didn't want to make it so big at first, but who knew that as soon as the news spread, everyone who was involved would come to congratulate me, which really caught me off guard."

Hearing Xiang Li's explanation, Zhao Shen hurriedly went to see Feng Niang.I saw that Feng Niang's expression was indifferent, her eyes were calm, and she didn't seem to care.

"Don't worry about me. Ever since I made up my mind, I haven't thought about what else to expect. It's just that An Jiu and An Wei are the two who are losing money."

Speaking of the two sons, Feng Niang's eyes were wet for a while, seeing that Zhao Shen was still looking at her, she hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to conceal the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Look at me, my eye sockets are shallow."

Zhao Shen's heart softened suddenly, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"How about the concubine's room?"

After deliberating for a while, Zhao Shen asked.

Feng Niang heard Zhao Shen's implication, shook her head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "She is a girl from a good family, her father and brother run a sesame oil shop, their family background is clean, and they are quite honest."

Zhao Shen didn't say anything after hearing the words.Since she is a girl from a good family, there is no reason to dismiss her.

At this end, Xiang Yuan and Xiang Li finished their awkward chat, and each sat silently drinking tea.Seeing this, Sister Xiang opened her mouth to speak a few times, but glanced at the two sisters-in-law who were sitting on the other side, but finally said nothing.

Early in the morning, Xiang Yuan felt that there must be something wrong with Sister Xiang coming back alone this time. Seeing Sister Xiang's anxious face, he put down the teacup and said, "Sister, is there something important to do when you come back this time?"

Sister Xiang quickly responded, nodding her head frequently, but she didn't say anything, instead she couldn't keep her eyes off Zhao Shen and Feng Niang.

Zhao Shen raised his head and bumped into it, stood up, and said to Fengniang gently: "Sister-in-law, let's go and see mother, since I've come back, I haven't had a chance to say hello to her old lady."

Feng Niang also saw that Miss Xiang didn't want them to sit here and listen to her complaints, so she stood up as she said, and agreed with a smile: "Mother is not stingy, and I will not blame you. But she must be bored when she is alone. Let's go and relieve boredom with her."

Seeing Zhao Shen get up, Xiang Yuan hurriedly said, "It's cold outside, put on your cloak, and walk slowly."

Feng Niang covered her mouth and smiled, and teased Zhao Shen in a low voice: "Xiaozi is still so worried, he really doesn't look like a high-ranking official who is rumored outside, but like a worrying steward." At the end, she sighed: "Jin Yan is a blessed man. .”

Zhao Shen blushed with embarrassment at Xiang Yuan's undisguised love, he resisted his embarrassment and responded, and walked out slowly.

Sister Xiang felt uncomfortable and always felt ashamed on her face.When Zhao Shen first came in, when she came back to her mother's house, she always wanted to act like a big aunt, and she liked to pick Zhao Shen's thorns when things happened.Now, looking at how nervous Mongzi is towards Brother Zhao, you can tell how much Mongzi cares about him. On the other hand, looking at her previous behavior, she is more and more overwhelmed by this situation.

In a blink of an eye, there were only three siblings left in the main hall, and both Xiang Yuan and Xiang Li looked at Sister Xiang, waiting for her to speak.

"I can't do anything. My in-law's business has a problem, and the money turnover can't be opened. I, I just want to come back and ask you for help."

Xiang Yuan looked at Xiang Li, Xiang Li was very depressed, and said in a deep voice: "Don't look at me, after she came back and said this, I have already expressed my position, how much money I need, I can help, there is no doubt about it."

Sister Xiang moved her fingers and looked at Xiang Li, a trace of guilt flashed across her face.

"Well, it's not just a matter of money. The other side of the in-law's house was deliberately framed. If someone hadn't caused trouble, how could there be no money to turn over? So, Congzi, can you go and help deter them?"

Xiang Yuan frowned, and said, "Is this what you mean, or what is meant by the Li family?"

Sister Xiang's heart trembled suddenly, and she hurriedly said: "It's my idea, I thought of it myself."

"Who told you to come back?"

Before the words "myself" were finished, Miss Xiang saw Xiang Yuan staring at her with deep eyes, she unconsciously lowered her voice, she curled her lips at last, and said the truth: "It's the meaning of my husband's family." Once she opened her mouth, As if she could finally vent her grievances, Sister Xiang's tears fell down as if she didn't want money, and she choked up and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that you have a high position and authority, and that villain wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, how could he attack the Li family?" The most irritating thing is that they specifically picked on Ji Ran's shop to pick things up, which made the family extremely dissatisfied with us and my husband, and even told Ji Ran to divorce me if they didn't solve it! Woo"

"What? Their Li family is really deceiving people!"

Hearing this, Xiang Li was furious, slapped the table hard, and said: "Back then, the Li family benefited a lot from the help of Congzi, but now they turned their faces because of some twists and turns, it's just hateful! "

"Lend my light?"

Xiang Yuan looked at Xiang Li with a bad premonition in his heart.

Xiang Li was a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, and cowardly explained: "This is not the last time you had a conflict with the elder sister. She has had a hard time after she went back. When the Li family learned that you had been promoted again, the Li family told you that you had been promoted to an official. I have used your name to some extent. But don’t worry, it’s just to make things easier in business, and I definitely didn’t do anything harmful, I’m watching.”

Xiang Yuan naturally understood that such a thing could not be avoided if one person attained enlightenment, but looking at Sister Xiang's current situation, she felt very uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart, and her impression of the Li family also fell to the bottom.

"What did brother-in-law say?"

Now, I have to figure out what big brother-in-law means.

Sister Xiang wrung her fingers and said with absolute certainty: "Of course your brother-in-law is unwilling. It's just that the two elders are in charge of the family after all, and he can't do anything about it. He has to ask me to go back to my mother's house to find a solution."

Xiang Yuan was noncommittal.

Seeing that Xiang Yuan didn't say a word, Sister Xiang couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Xiaozi, you, you can help the eldest sister, just go over there, make a public appearance, and let people know that the Li family has a good relationship with you. Really, you don't need to do anything else. Just be the eldest sister and beg you, otherwise If Eldest Sister is really divorced, what will Huaner and Linger do!"

Li Huan and Li Ling are the two daughters of Sister Xiang, who Xiang Yuan met when she was young. In my impression, they belong to the family of two lovely girls from Yuxue.

"Okay, I will go there on the third day of the new year."

Sister Xiang was very happy when she got the letter, so she didn't stay any longer that day, packed up her things, and hurried back to Li's house in Jin'an City, taking advantage of one day before New Year's Eve.Sister Xiang is a married woman, so big days like New Year's Eve cannot be celebrated at her natal home.

But in the side hall, the three little ones played everything they could, and gradually became bored.Probe to see that the adults in the main hall are still chatting, so they think about going out to play.

Xiang Anjiu was older and felt he was a teenager, so he stopped An Wei from taking An Jue out.An Wei rolled his eyes and said that he wanted to eat fried rice cakes, and coquettishly asked Xiang Anjiu to go to Feng Niang to get them for him.Xiang Anjiu was so tortured that he had no choice but to tell the two young ones to stay in the side hall obediently, and he would come whenever he went.

As soon as Xiang Anjiu left the side hall, Xiang Anwei was about to pull Xiang Anjue out.The servants serving in the side hall tried to stop them a few times, but Xiang Anwei threatened not to tell the master and wife, otherwise they would be kicked out, and he promised that they would only play in the house and never go out.The servant had no choice but to watch Xiang Anwei and Xiang Anjue run out of Li's yard in a hurry.
