Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 71

When Xiang Yuan and Qin Mian left the study room, it was already dusk and the golden crow was falling.Lanterns of wind and death were hung everywhere in the house of the government office, and in the shadows, Xiang Yuan saw Zhao Shen waiting in the pavilion at a glance.

He quickly stepped forward to hold Zhao Shen's hand, it was really cold.

"What are you doing waiting here? Now that it's autumn, it's cold in the morning and evening, so I should pay more attention to it."

Zhao Shen looked at Qin Mian, who was also surrounded by Zhou Qinglin, and asked in a low voice, "Is it important?"

Xiang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled.

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

What Qin Mian said was too shocking, even though the daughter-in-law also came from a good background, maybe she wouldn't be too shocking, but since Qin Mian had already promised not to spread the matter to the outside world, he had to do it.

Although Xiang Yuan smiled and said there was no problem, Zhao Shen still observed from his subtle expression that what Qin Mian said should be quite important.Sure enough, just after dinner, Congzi went to the study on the pretext of business, and stayed for most of the night.Zhao Shen waited until the end, he was really sleepy, and worried that he would not sleep well without Zhuang Zhuang, so he had to put on his clothes and lie down.

When he opened his eyes again, he was snugly nestled in the quilt, with all his coat off and only his inner shirt on.Zhuang Zhuang tilted his head, raised his hands above his head, and was wearing a one-piece shirt that had been improved by Miaozi, sleeping soundly, with his mouth wriggling from time to time.

Squeaky, the door was pushed open, Zhao Shen half sat up and looked over, only to see Xiang Yuan coming in lightly with a tray in his hand.Seeing him awake, he immediately smiled.

"Wake up? If I come back late in the future, you go to bed first, don't wait for me, huh?"

Said, Xiang Yuan sat next to Zhao Shen, put his hand around the back of Zhao Shen's neck, rubbed it intimately, took the opportunity to get closer, and gave a tender morning kiss.

Hey, it's early in the morning, I haven't washed it, and I don't think it's dirty!

Zhao Shen struggled out with hands and feet, his face was reddish, and he gave him a glare. "No! You haven't even washed, and besides, Zhuang Zhuang is still there!"

"what!"

Startled, the couple turned their heads and saw Xiang Dazhuang, with black grape-like eyes, sitting on the small mattress, staring at them with a bewildered expression.Xu Shi saw that Xiang Yuan's hand was still on Zhao Shen's shoulder, and the little guy began to thump forward, and finally reached Zhao Shen's thigh, so he pouted his little butt and ran up along his leg.

Zhao Shen suppressed a smile and held him in his arms. The little guy leaned against Zhao Shen and stared straight at Xiang Yuan.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"

While yelling, the little hand kept patting Zhao Shen's leg, as if this was my territory.

Xiang Yuan has black lines on his face, why does he look at Xiang Dazhuang as despising him? !

Zhao Shen was already laughing from ear to ear.Zhuang Zhuang has been around for more than seven months. In addition to being able to sit, he has recently practiced new skills and started to learn to crawl.The two chubby short legs are very powerful, and they can climb a distance of half a meter.

Xiang Yuan picked up Xiang Dazhuang, lowered his head and rubbed against his face.

"Little brat!"

Xiang Dazhuang was so amused by being rubbed, he opened his mouth with a small tooth protruding, and gnawed on half of Xiang Yuan's face, his two chubby hands clasped tightly on both sides of his cheeks, and began to bite hard.

Xiang Yuan was itchy and a little hurt by him, Xiang Dazhuang finally let go after a long while, and hurriedly threw him back into Zhao Shen's arms, who was knocked down by laughter, and stretched out his hand to touch his face. Apart from a hand full of saliva, he could clearly touch his face. to a small gravure.

"Fortunately, it's a small tooth mark, otherwise, if you go out, people will secretly laugh at your father for being too enthusiastic."

Xiang Yuan nodded Xiang Dazhuang's small nose, looked sideways at Zhao Shen, and joked.

"No seriousness!"

Zhao Shen pushed him, thinking about it, he was quite happy, he held his head up and said: "If you want me to bite, it will be light if you don't bite off a piece of meat."

His eyes suddenly became deep, and Xiang Yuan moved closer to his wife's ear, seductively: "Really? Then I will give you a chance to show off tonight, how about it? I promise not to resist, let you bite me." As he said, he reached out and squeezed Zhao Shen's fleshy earlobe exhaled lightly: "Anywhere!"

boom!

Zhao Shen felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to rush to his face, and after a few breaths, he was terribly hot.

Consciously staring at Xiang Yuan viciously with his eyes, but he didn't know that with his bright red cheeks, this look was really charming.

"Old and crooked!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Xiang Yuan was very happy, what he said sounded like an old couple.

Early in the morning, he was molested by Xiang Yuan, although Zhao Shen was very ashamed, but his heart was always turbulent, bursting with cheerful little bubbles.

"Zhou Qinglin will be by your side in the future, and you can entrust him to take care of business or affairs on the surface. If it is in the dark and it is not convenient to show up, call Niu Er to go."

After dinner, Xiang Yuan checked the invitations sent yesterday and chatted with Zhao Shen at the same time.

"Zhou Qinglin?"

Zhao Shen instinctively felt that Xiang Yuan's decision must have something to do with what Qin Mian said yesterday.

"Well, tell him to practice with you first." Xiang Yuan turned his head and saw Zhao Shen's worried face, couldn't help reaching out and pinching his wife's not soft hand. "Don't worry, I have my own measure. What Qin Mian said is very important, but it involves his privacy, I promise him not to spread it, so I can only tell you what he said, which is very good for me. What he asked for, It’s just looking for an opportunity to arrange a moderate position for Zhou Qinglin. Ask Zhou Qinglin to follow you first, and then join my personal team. There is also a way to arrange a military position in the future.”

Hearing Xiang Yuan's explanation, since seeing the two of them entered the study last night, the unhappiness that had arisen in my heart has disappeared.Zhao Shen nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Seeing his daughter-in-law's well-behaved face, Xiang Yuan smiled, couldn't help but squeeze his daughter-in-law's hand again, and then looked carefully at the post in his hand.

"General He and Mrs. He invited us to enjoy the chrysanthemum at the mansion tomorrow night."

Zhao Shen rolled his eyes and said, "Is it about Xianyao Village?"

"Not all, it should be related to the development of Tongping Mansion. I am the prefect, and he is the general of the guard. If it is handled properly, Tongping Mansion will not worry about the people living and working in peace and contentment."

"Will someone be impeached?"

Zhao Shenke remembered that the imperial court clearly stipulated that local officials and military generals were not allowed to be too close, otherwise the lighter ones would be fined and their salaries reduced, and the more severe ones would be punished and sent to prison.

"It doesn't matter, no one will be able to find fault with such a contact once or twice. And, soon, no one will have the heart to stare at us lower officials."

From what Qin Mian confided yesterday, Xiang Yuan not only knew that he would occupy a high position in the future, but also roughly inferred the trajectory of his promotion.It's just that in terms of time, it is obvious that his promotion in this life is faster, and the speed of things is also accelerating.If there is nothing wrong, this incident of Sun Jun killing his wife will eventually become an important opportunity for the saint to completely take back the power from the aristocratic family as he expected.As for his next promotion soon, Xiang Yuan didn't take it too seriously for the time being.Tongping Mansion has just entered the development period. Since he is already in this position, he must first focus on managing Tongping Mansion well. Half-heartedness is not the way to be an official.

In the next few days, Zhao Shen discovered that five or six servants had been dismissed from the inner house one after another, and one of them was cleared out from almost every position.

The steward of the inner house showed him the crimes committed by the dismissed staff, but Zhao Shen didn't find anything out of the ordinary.In the past, Mongzi would have dismissed such a trivial matter.This time, he unexpectedly resigned without mercy.

Especially when he went out, the followers who followed him changed from one to five.The atmosphere of the entire government office also became tense.

The reason behind this series of changes is definitely not simple.

Zhao Shen saw that Xiang Yuan was busy all day, after leaving the yamen, he stayed in the study for most of the night, his heart ached, but he couldn't help but feel anxious because of such a tense atmosphere, so he repeatedly told the nanny and servants to keep a close eye on Xiang Zhuangzhuang. .

On this day, Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao came to the yamen to beat drums again, and they were determined to sue Sun Jun. Before the yamen opened, the two of them sat in a carriage and led their servants to the yamen gate. Holding a sign, he wrote, "The cause of my daughter's death is strange, please open the coffin for an autopsy!"

People passing by saw them gathering in twos and threes, discussing a lot.Mr. Zhao could clearly hear someone expressing their agreement excitedly: "There is no ghost in my heart, why don't you agree to open the coffin? The good girl died, no one can accept it!"

Mrs. Zhao leaned against the wall of the carriage, looking haggard and looking outside.Mr. Zhao poured her a glass of warm water, and finally persuaded her to drink some.

"Mom, this is the end of the matter, so don't be too sad. Xiang Yuan gave us this idea, it seems that he really wants to help my sister seek justice."

Mrs. Zhao closed her eyes slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "As a magistrate, shouldn't he beg for life for the people? Besides, Xinlan is also his eldest sister. If he is indifferent, I will definitely not follow her!"

Although Mr. Zhao is a bit dull, his mind is not muddled.Seeing Mrs. Zhao still acting like a mother-in-law and refusing to bow her head to speak soft words, she knew that her mother was really regretting in her heart, especially seeing Zhao Shen's glorious appearance, compared with Xin Lan's tragic death, she regretted it even more.Being so stubborn now is just holding on so that he will not fall down.

"How kind of you are you to be Brother Shen?"

Seeing the disapproval on the eldest son's face, Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly.

"He came here to tell us that Xin Lan's death was a strange cause. Apart from showing off his current status, the most important thing is that he wanted to use me to get his father, Xu Yixuan!"

Young Master Zhao suddenly raised his head.

"Your father and Xu'er are very attached to the Sun family. For the sake of the future, they can even turn a blind eye to Xinlan's tragic death! Mother can't count on such ruthlessness. When Xinlan's matter is over, she will go back to Lizhong, and mother will be with you." Your father split the estate and separated, if you follow mother, mother will send you to study with your grandfather."

Mr. Zhao was confused.

Separate property? !

But thinking of what Master Zhao and Zhao Xu did, Mr. Zhao also felt chills in his heart.His father is a glorious lintel, and he is extremely flattering to the Sun family, and his second brother, Zhao Xu, also imitates the example, and for this reason, his father treats him differently, and is praised from time to time.After several repetitions, he began to show oppression and bullying to him.Moreover, the family's property also began to actively intervene, secretly crowding out and dismissing shopkeepers and buddies who favored him.

If he still can't see that Zhao Xu is competing with him for family property, Zhao Xun doesn't need to consider entering an official career.It's just that Mr. Zhao became more and more cold-hearted just because he could see clearly.

Maybe it's a good idea to follow mother.

At the same time, Zhao Shen was also discussing this matter with Xiang Yuan.

"Mrs. Zhao is very proud. If I have nothing to ask for, she will be very unstable. In this case, I will simply push the boat along and ask her to help me to take the opportunity to pick up my father in the future."

"Well. Looking at Mrs. Zhao's attitude, I'm afraid she is extremely dissatisfied with Mr. Zhao. The patriarch is at odds, and Father's status in it is embarrassing. Let's seek justice for Zhao Xinlan and put Mrs. Zhao's heart at ease. She will do this matter. Will be sincere."

At this time, the husband and wife have not expected that Mrs. Zhao actually plans to separate from the estate.When we got back to Lizhong, there was a complete commotion.

Sun Jun heard that Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao went to the yamen to complain about grievances all day long. He was so angry that he threw down two sets of official kiln tea sets. He closed the door and cursed endlessly. People in Fusun's mansion were panicked, and no one dared to come to Sun Jun's study to ask for bad luck.

"Butler, hasn't there been a letter from the capital yet?"

For Sun Jun to ask every few hours, the housekeeper has a hard time.Now he only hopes that the letter from the capital will come soon, otherwise this old bone will be tossed and broken by Sun Jun.

While Sun Jun was anxiously waiting for a letter from the capital, Xiang Yuan was also waiting. He was waiting to find Zhao Xinlan's family servant while he was leaving.

Five days after Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao sued Sun Jun for killing his wife, the gates of the magistrate's yamen were opened in all directions, and the crowd of onlookers gathered in front of the gate, shoulder to shoulder.

This day is the first day of the public trial of Sun Jun and Sun Tong's murder of his wife.

Sun Jun pinched the letter from the capital, read it carefully, and smiled sinisterly.After brushing off his sleeves and straightening his hair crown, Sun Jun strode out of the room.

There is a letter written by the second uncle, what can Xiang Congzi do to him?As long as he bites to death and does not open the coffin, no one can accuse him of killing his wife!
