Chapter 118
Chapter 118
Xiang Yuan and his party only stayed in Yunzhou City for one day, and it was too late after gathering with Li Guangyu and Xu Wenlin. In the early morning of the second day, Xiang Yuan bought a batch of special products of Yunzhou City with his entourage, and prepared to take them back to Nanling Lizhong .These special products were all obtained by Zhao Shen from asking someone at the inn yesterday, and he also ordered Xiang Yuan to buy them and bring them back to Lizhong as gifts for his relatives.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Shen saw Xiang Yuan and a few relatives behind him coming with big and small bags from a distance, a smile could not help but hang on the corner of his mouth.
He left Lizhong shortly after he and Congzi got married. Up to now, he has been away for six years, and he has returned to Lizhong once during that period.Although Congzi didn't say anything, he was still thinking about his family in his heart, and would send letters back from time to time, greeting Mrs. Li, and giving advice on An Jiu and An Wei's studies. No matter how busy he was, he never stopped sending letters and papers every month.On Zhao Shen's side, he felt that as a little brother, he couldn't stay in Lizhong and be a housewife at home. Give one to Li Shi, one to Fengniang, and take it back with you.
"Zhuang Zhuang, come and have a look, Yunzhou City's specialty windmill."
Xiang Zhuangzhuang took it and looked at it. The palm-sized windmill is rich in color, and there are bells on it. When the wind blows, it will jingle.
I thought that Xiang Zhuangzhuang would be very happy, but Xiang Yuan looked at him with a troubled expression, a little bit disgusted with the childish appearance of playing with windmills.
Seeing that Xiang Yuan excitedly came back with the windmill to fill in Xiang Zhuangzhuang, but did not get the expected results, Zhao Shen couldn't help turning his head to hold back his laughter.
Secretly said: Just for your [-]-somethings when you became a scholar and still gnawing on the virtues of the old brother, how could you understand his heartache that he must be cautious in his words and deeds since he was a child, plan for himself with trepidation, and desperately save his own house!
Many of Zhuang Zhuang's temperaments and personalities are like a scorpion, but this is particularly like him, he is very good at calculating, especially now that he feels that he is a big child, and he doesn't want to play with toys that are only liked by small dolls.At this moment, his expression was tangled. On the one hand, he felt that the windmill was too childish.
Xiang Yuan came over and quietly asked his daughter-in-law, how did she buy a windmill for Zhuang Zhuang and not be as happy as expected?
Zhao Shen hooked his hands, and Xiang Yuan stuck to him.
"If you give him a few coins, he will be happier."
Xiang Yuan: (⊙o⊙)...
Is it really okay to love money so much at such a young age?Will not become a big corrupt official in the future!
He didn't know what Xiang Yuan had imagined, but Zhao Shen saw that he couldn't believe it, and burst out laughing, the louder he laughed, tears burst out.
"Put it down a little bit, I'm terrified to see such a big belly."
As the delivery was approaching, Zhao Shen's belly finally bulged out a rounded arc, and as he laughed out loud, his belly also shook up and down, Xiang Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him.
As a result, being pushed by him like this, Zhao Shen wanted to stop laughing, but immediately laughed again.No way, this scene is so joyful!
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh, don't push me, lest I can't help it."
Xiang Yuan reached out his hand helplessly to stroke his back slowly, and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, stop now."
A person with a body can change his mood a lot. It is obviously not a funny thing, and his wife can be happy to see her teeth but not see her eyes. On the contrary, the same small things can also make him angry. Tsk tsk, a pregnant wife can’t Mess.
Seeing that Xiang Zhuangzhuang on the other side has left the windmill, took out his small purse and started counting copper coins, Xiang Yuan's toothache became more and more serious.
"You look like a money addict, if you become an official in the future, is it possible that you will be a corrupt official?"
Xiang Yuan whispered into Zhao Shen's ear, the volume was too low, he repeated it again, Zhao Shen could hear clearly.Rubbing the itchy ears, Zhao Shen couldn't help showing worry.
"It's my fault. I always emphasize the importance of money with him, but unexpectedly, I let him develop such a personality."
Xiang Yuan coughed, and thought to himself: This is not only acquired, but also congenital.Such a money fanatic, 100% inherits his daughter-in-law!
"Don't worry, Zhuang Zhuang is still young, teach him a lot, and he can always establish a correct view of money."
"Daddy, daddy, what are you talking about?"
After counting the copper coins, Xiang Zhuangzhuang tried to ask with a serious face.
Xiang Yuan avoided answering, and asked instead: "After counting, how many coins have you saved?"
Speaking of his own private house, Xiang Zhuangzhuang blushed, tried his best to suppress his mouth, but still couldn't hold back his raised lips, and proudly said: "There are three hundred of them!"
Xiang Yuan expressed his admiration very appreciatively, praising him not only for saving money, but also for counting very well.Xiang Zhuangzhuang who got the praise became more and more proud, he grinned his white teeth, smiled, and suddenly turned his head to Zhao Shen and said, "Father, since my son has already saved money, I don't need daddy to help keep the lucky money for this year's New Year's Eve." , and, do you have the previous ones too, please return them to me, Daddy."
Zhao Shen: (⊙o⊙)...
Just kidding, what do you do with so much money for such a small doll!
Glancing secretly at Xiang Yuan, who added to the chaos, Zhao Shen turned around and began to educate Xiang Zhuangzhuang on money for half an hour, emphasizing that the little baby can't take too much money in his hand, and he will be targeted by bad guys of.
Xiang Zhuangzhuang, who was inadvertently intimidated, looked at his father blankly, with lingering fear.
"Well, then I don't want it anymore. I'd better take this purse and save the rest for me, Dad, and give it to me when I marry a wife!"
Marry a wife!
Zhao Shen almost exploded, and hurriedly asked how he heard this.
Xiang Zhuangzhuang blinked his eyes and said innocently: "Dad said, it costs a lot of money to marry a wife!"
Zhao Shen suddenly turned his head and stared at Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan:·········································
Ignoring the turbulent waves in the secret of the two adults, Xiang Zhuangzhuang carefully put away the purse, and muttered again: "No wonder that person is weird, I put the money back, and he is not happy."
The two adults immediately stopped staring at each other, turned their heads together, and asked in unison, "Who will give you the money?"
Xiang Zhuangzhuang was taken aback by this gesture, and said in a daze, "I don't know him, but he said he and Daddy are good friends, so give me money to buy good things."
Zhao Shen hurriedly looked at Xiang Yuan: "Is it Xu Wenlin?"
Basically, Xiang Yuan would not hide anything from Zhao Shen, so Zhao Shen also knew about Xu Wenlin asking him to help transfer his position.
"No, Xu Wenlin wouldn't do such a thing, it should be Li Guangyu."
After the performance yesterday, not long after Xiang Yuan arrived home, Li Guangyu came to find him, and Lala Zaza talked with him for a long time, always emphasizing how difficult his official career has been all these years, how hard he has climbed, no connections, no money, so that sometimes Today, he is still just a small government school professor, unlike Xiang Yuan, whose official career has been smooth sailing from the very beginning. In just five or six years, he has reached the level of a local second-rank official in the frontier, which is really enviable to him.
To Li Guangyu's flattery, Xiang Yuan said that he was really calm and didn't feel smug at all.I heard him say flattering words in my ears, but I couldn't help but think of his daughter-in-law's complaints about Li Guangyu's villainous face during the provincial examination, which was really annoying.Xiang Yuan felt very happy when he thought of the little indignant daughter-in-law.
Xu Shi saw a slight smile on his face, Li Guangyu misunderstood that his flattery had played a role, and finally ended the flattery and revealed his real purpose.
To put it bluntly, I just want to ask Xiang Yuan to extend his hand and transfer him to a good position, preferably in a wealthy prefecture, even a small county magistrate, he doesn't dislike it.
Resisting not to twitch the corners of his mouth, Xiang Yuan did a Tai Chi and dismissed Li Guangyu.
Still a small county magistrate, don't dislike it!Really big face!
Apart from Hejian, Guanzhong and Jiangnan, where else is the rich prefecture in Daliang?These three places, that is, the county magistrates, are placed in other places, and their qualifications are also much higher than others.
"Well done! It's not your own, and you really shouldn't take it. Here, as a reward, Daddy will give you two silver coins."
Holding a small piece of broken silver, Xiang Zhuangzhuang smiled openly, his eyes sparkling, and he couldn't wait to take out the hidden purse again, carefully put the broken silver in, looking back at the two fathers, they didn't seem to pay attention to him, so they hid it with peace of mind Purse.
Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen, who paid attention from the corner of their eyes the whole time: (⊙o⊙)…
"Such a money fan, I really don't know who to follow!"
Xiang Yuan, who heard his daughter-in-law complaining in a low voice, silently turned his face away.
Daughter-in-law, are you not conscious of such a familiar scene?
At this time, the Weeping Willow Lane in Lizhong was full of voices, lights and festoons, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to congratulate.Invite the singing troupe to finish singing a song on the stage set up.Then, the gongs and drums were loud, and the drums were beating rapidly, apparently changing the repertoire.
With a sullen face, Xiang Anjiu silently passed through the passing crowd and headed straight for the back house.
After passing through the second gate, I immediately felt much cleaner.Only the sound of opera singing can be heard from afar, which is hard to hear clearly.
"The eldest son is back."
The little girl at the gate smiled and pulled up the curtain for Xiang Anjiu, and the hot air from the bag greeted her, warming Xiang Anjiu's cold face slightly.
"An Jiu, come in quickly."
Mrs. Li shouted inside.
Xiang Anjiu took off his cloak, let Li's girl dust him off, then straightened his clothes, turned around and entered the room.
In the room, Feng Niang and Li Shi were sitting and standing one by one, and Feng Niang combed Li Shi's hair.At the other end sat a sad-faced woman with a ball of thread in her hands.
"Grandmother, big aunt, mother."
The last sound of "Mother" contained a lot of grievances.
Feng Niang's hand combing her hair couldn't help but pause.
"Are you hungry? Grandma asked someone to stew the soup early, and serve you fine noodles, okay?"
Xiang Anjiu nodded, and Feng Niang arranged for someone to hurry down to prepare.Seeing the aggrieved face of the eldest grandson from the bronze mirror, Mrs. Li couldn't help sighing from the bottom of her heart.
"mother."
As soon as he yelled, he heard the flustered greeting from the girl outside, and then there was a sound of footsteps, Xiang Anwei, who was chubby after eating, rushed in, with red eyes, he said loudly: "Grandma, I don't want Little sister, drive them away, I don't like little sister! She is not my sister, I don't want it!"
Feng Niang's heart ached, tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
