Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 106

Xiang Yuan was a little depressed.

From the time my daughter-in-law came back to now, I only glanced at myself, and then like a gust of wind, Xiang Zhuangzhuang was blown away, up and down, inside and out, wishing to untie his hair and check it carefully.After confirming that Zhuang Zhuang was just safe and sound this time, Zhao Shen let out a long sigh of relief, and afterward said that he was reluctant to let Zhuang Zhuang go to sleep by himself, wishing to stick with Zhuang Zhuang during the day, and take him with him at night, poor Mr. Xiang Huddled by the bed, for a while, no one thought of responding.

The first two were still whispering.

"Zhuang Zhuang, does your leg still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. When I came back, my father rubbed it with medicinal wine. Then it hurt a little, but now it doesn't hurt at all."

Zhao Shen touched Xiang Zhuangzhuang's two chubby legs distressedly, and felt that the skin under his hands was as soft and elastic as ever. When he pressed, he didn't see Xiang Zhuangzhuang crying out of pain, so he knew that Zhuangzhuang was not comforting him.

Xu felt that his father was not in a good mood, so Zhuang Zhuang stretched out his chubby claws, tugged Xiang Yuan who was neglected next to him, and said solemnly: "Zhuang Zhuang doesn't hurt, but Daddy does, I heard Daddy hurt yesterday Hey yo, the pain must be unbearable!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shen blushed suddenly, and even the thick-skinned Xiang Yuan felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose, opened a pair of bright black eyes, and looked at them innocently, Xiang Zhuangzhuang said: "That , Zhuang Zhuang, daddy, it’s not pain.” As soon as he said this, Xiang Yuan received Zhao Shen’s sharp eyes, and immediately changed his words: “It’s pain! It hurts, it hurts.”

The reunion of Xiaobie, even if the wound on his body has not completely healed, he can't resist Mr. Xiang's ambition to kiss and kiss his daughter-in-law.Everything was fine, but I didn't expect to be heard by my son.

"Father, when will my brother come out?"

Xiang Yuan was grinning, in a good mood, and asked: "Zhuang Zhuang thinks that father's belly is a younger brother?"

Xiang Zhuangzhuang blinked his eyes and nodded affirmatively: "It must be the younger brother, so the younger brother can compensate me for playing."

Zhao Shen glanced at Xiang Yuan, seeing his silly smile, he was very uncomfortable for no reason.Xiang Yuan glanced at his daughter-in-law's gloomy expression, smiled suddenly, approached Zhao Shen, and explained in a low voice: "In this age of marriage and obedience, I would rather have a son than a brother in your womb, otherwise Thinking that he might marry into someone else's house in the future, take care of his husband, teach his children, serve his parents-in-law without complaining, I can't help being irritable. So, it's better to be a son, rough-skinned and thick-skinned, at least I don't have to worry about him getting hurt in the future .”

Zhao Shen not only didn't feel that there was anything wrong with such an unconventional remark, but actually agreed with it after thinking about it.If he really gave birth to a brother, if he really wants to marry in the future, tsk, just thinking about that scene, he can't stand it.A child who was raised like a sweetheart must go to another strange home to live cautiously. How aggrieved, just like him in his previous life, living like walking on eggshells.Therefore, it is still right for Congzi to have a son.

Zhuang Zhuang had already fallen asleep, Zhao Shen tucked him in the quilt.Thinking of what Zhuang Zhuang asked just now, when this thing came out of the stomach, it was the time of spring and the time they had decided to go back to Lizhong.

This year's New Year's Eve will definitely not be able to go back, not to mention that Jiangnan Mansion and Hejian Mansion are in a mess, and it will take a lot of time and effort for Mongzi to sort them out one by one, even the relationship with Guanzhong Mansion has to be bothered. .In the wealthy land of the three prefectures, two of them were moved at once, and if the remaining one was not carefully appeased, something might happen.He didn't understand these things at first, but after following Chuzi and listening to his nagging, he naturally thought more and saw more clearly than before.And he, as the Lord of Xiang Futai, must give full support at this time, so as to appease the officials and family members behind his back, convey the attitude of the imperial court represented by Xiang Futai, and bring the two governments back to peace as soon as possible.

Xiang Yuan naturally also felt the change in Zhao Shen's attitude. Compared with before, he just passively accepted the changes brought about by his rising status. After experiencing the dramatic twists and turns in the past six months, the daughter-in-law seemed to have found her position and knew that she was in his position. In the current position, how can I handle various occasions with ease, and entertain all kinds of wives with different personalities.

After perfectly hosting another small banquet, the officials and family members who had been in a state of anxiety finally let go of their doubts and began to believe that the turmoil is over, and that the officials in their family, as long as they follow Xiang Futai's footsteps, they will be able to With a firm foothold in the boundaries of these three prefectures, there is no need to worry about being knocked on the door in the middle of the night.

In the rear, Zhao Shen took the initiative to pick up the burden, and in the front, Xiang Yuan was free to work hard.

This time the sage was very generous. From the imperial decree sent by the capital, he clearly announced that Xiang Yuan, the governor of the three prefectures, has the right to appoint officials in the two prefectures, that is, any transfer of official positions in the two prefectures is entirely up to him. Outline dogmatic.

Those officials who were lucky enough not to be involved in the anti-corruption incident of King Qing and Gao Min, when they heard the news, those who had a good relationship with Xiang Yuan couldn't help secretly rejoicing, thankful that they hugged Xiang Futai's thigh as soon as possible, and now Xiang Futai's cadres are arbitrary, they have been following Futai's footsteps, promotion and salary increase are just around the corner.And those who, relying on their deep background and solid foundation, didn't take this young and newly appointed Xiang Futai seriously before, and suddenly felt that they were all bad.

During this sensitive period, the sage made a brilliant statement and appointed Xiang Yuan alone to control the officialdom of the two prefectures. If he insisted on it, the dark-faced and cruel Xiang Futai might really give them the official positions they had worked so hard to get.Just like the third son of the Shi family, he finally found a good job in his hometown, which was quite lucrative. Unfortunately, when he met Xiang Futai, he lost his official position in minutes after a disagreement.

Therefore, Zhao Shen, who was in charge of stabilizing the back house, discovered that recently more and more people invited him to attend various flower appreciation, painting, birthday, and theater banquets. Once he considered his younger brother's status, he felt uncomfortable. In all kinds of banquets, he never openly discussed the various servants who were not worried at home.

While Zhao Shen felt relieved, he also relieved Congzi's side.The housewives who can make these housewives with their eyes above the top bow down to flatter him, it must be that Congzi has put a lot of pressure on their husbands, forcing them to lower their figures and truly realize the rights that Concubine has as a Futai.Without the restraint of these people, Congzi would definitely sort out the matter quickly and appease the people of the two prefectures.

Indeed, as Zhao Shen guessed, since receiving the imperial decree, Xiang Yuan, who was working in the yamen, found out that Emma was able to do everything smoothly. , no one dared to pick and choose, and no one babbled. Once a decree was passed, subordinate officials would spin like a spinning top. In a few days, the sluggish businesses in Hejian Mansion and Jiangnan Mansion came to life. , Those courtyard doors that were closed due to ransacking were also tentatively opened.Farming and mulberry, water conservancy, roads, city defense, etc., all in an orderly manner according to the previous practice when there are no officials.

Officials in both governments have privately breathed a sigh of relief that established practices have not been overhauled.It is said that when Xiang Futai was working in Tongping Mansion, new methods and new ideas emerged one after another.It's not that they reject innovation, it's just that the two governments have just undergone changes. If they break the convention at this time, not only the officials will be uneasy, but the people under the rule will also be panicked, which will not be conducive to the stability of people's livelihood.

Naturally, Xiang Yuan is well versed in the key points, even if he dislikes some of the routines, he endured them so as not to have a fit.The most important thing for the two governments now is to stabilize, stabilize the officials, stabilize the people's hearts, and minimize the impact of King Qing and Gao Minxing.Especially in the case of King Qing's rebellion, the sage did not have the idea of ​​making it known to the world, so Xiang Yuan had to grasp the scale, and on the one hand, he had to be merciless to the officials involved with King Qing, and on the other hand, he had to try his best to control the spread to a minimum. Within the two prefectures.

From the perspective of a sage, Xiang Yuan understood the sage's reluctance to announce King Qing's conspiracy.After all, the sage had just suppressed the aristocratic family and gathered the imperial power.If the important matter of King Qing broke out at this time, I'm afraid that some would not be reconciled to the silent family, and would rather take the risk and restore the glory of the family.Especially the prince who the sage waited to be an adult, but now there is only the prince.As for the newborn child with a yellow mouth in the crown prince's mouth, Xiang Yuan sneered slightly, not because he was dark in his heart, but under such circumstances, it is still unknown whether that little child can survive successfully.The struggle for imperial power has never been kind and benevolent.

This one is a collective meeting of officials from the entire two prefectures, and Xiang Yuan presides over it.

As the representative of the aristocratic family, Mr. Zhou, the procurator, used to rely on his status to disdain the young Xiang Futai.When Xiang Yuan took office, not only did he not come to report and ask for instructions at the first time, but he also perfunctory Xiang Futai with trivial matters to dismiss newcomers in the workplace, and deliberately made Xiang Yuan dumb to eat coptis, and he couldn't tell the pain.The really important affairs, except those controlled by Gao Minxing, the rest are all in the hands of his group.

But now, Mr. Zhou is sitting obediently under Xiang Yuan, holding a brush in hand as Xiang Yuan requested, and carefully recording the assigned tasks stroke by stroke.Sitting next door, Li Qianshi who belonged to the yamen's house took a sneak peek and saw Master Zhou's calm face without any complaints, so he couldn't help admiring him.

Sure enough, he came from a big family, after this change, he couldn't see the slightest quarrel with Xiang Futai before, this skill of nourishing energy and calmness is worth imitating.

As everyone knows, Master Zhou, whom he secretly admired, now has a peaceful face, nodding repeatedly to what Xiang Yuan said, already scolding his mother in his heart.

Xiang Futai, with a black face and black hands, really hated his negligence before, look at the tasks assigned to him, what are they, one after another, all thankless.On the other hand, Bai Cheng, who has a tender face and looks like a politician, quietly boarded the boat of Xiang Futai. Now he has not only become a guest of Xiang Futai, but also changed his previous situation of not having any real power in his hands. All the big and small affairs of the Jiangnan prefecture, money and food are in their hands. If the new magistrate has no eyebrows, he may not be able to touch the edge of government affairs at all.

Also, Cui Jinxue, the black-faced and strict man below, who looked as if others owed him so much money, had never heard of any friendship between him and Xiang Futai. He came to manage the important households in the yamen, and he was mean and stingy. He was so exaggerated that if he paid a copper coin, he could ask you to call a ruthless person who commanded him.

The more I think about Mr. Zhou, the more headache I get.The Hejian Mansion and the Jiangnan Mansion have always been rich, but a small amount of extravagance is convenient for others and themselves, and life is easy for everyone, so what's wrong with it?However, Xiang Futai was a maverick, and he got a bunch of stubborn donkeys that he didn't know which corner. He pretended to be deaf and dumb to their previous practice, but they couldn't shout out.Although Xiang Futai showed no signs of changing the routine, they couldn't clamor for Xiang Futai to make decisions for their personal gain, right?The more he thought about it, the more breathless he became, Mr. Zhou raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and just as he sighed slightly, he heard Xiang Futai's concerned greeting from above.

"Master Zhou is not in good spirits? Why don't you go down and eat some pastries and take a rest?"

Master Zhou's expression was startled, and he hastily expressed his opinion: "It's okay to be an official, and I have nothing to do for a while, I still hope to caress Taiwan Haihan."

Xiang Yuan smiled slightly and waved his hand: "It's good to have nothing to do. If you are tired, you must say it. I don't want to make you tired at this time." As he spoke, his eyes swept across the audience.

The officials present hurriedly stated that their mental state was extremely, very, very good, even if they worked overtime for a day and a whole night, it would be fine.

Xiang Yuan: (⊙o⊙)...

In fact, he was really concerned just now.
