Chapter 53 I'm Fine
Chapter 53 I'm Fine
Someone came in against the sunlight, with an imposing appearance, slender and graceful, with a graceful bearing and a graceful manner.As he walks, he wears a demeanor that seems to have been cultivated after being immersed in the Zanying family or the Shili family for more than ten years.It makes people feel good when they look at it, and praise: what a good son in troubled times!
This person, is it Xiang Yuan? !
Zhao Xinlan couldn't help but widen her eyes, parted her lips slightly in astonishment, and screamed without losing her composure, which was already very restrained.
Xiang Yuan walked up to Zhao Shen with big strides, first he looked at him calmly, and saw that his expression was normal, so he was relieved.
The daughter-in-law vomited a few times when she was first diagnosed and was pregnant, and then she no longer felt nauseated, and her appetite was much better than before.But Xiang Yuan always remembered the scene where he had a pale face and vomited bile at the beginning, and couldn't help being worried, he always had to make sure that his face was rosy before he could rest assured.
"Will refreshments help?"
"Well, I have eaten it. The Furong bean paste cake made by Qi Qi today is delicious. You will try it later."
Xu Shi has a body and has let go of most of his worries. Now Zhao Shen always has a smile on his face, his eyebrows are curved, and Xiang Yuan is always in a good mood.
Nodding his head, Xiang Yuan greeted Zhao Xinlan with a dazed expression, then turned to face Xiang Anjiu, and said gently, "Xiao Jiu, come here and tell me what's going on."
Xiang Anjiu was very nervous, so she hurriedly responded, stood up, quietly put her hands behind her back, and wiped the sweat from her palms.
Zhao Xinlan stared blankly at Xiang Yuan leading Xiang Anjiu into the study, and then closed the door.
Xiang Yuan actually looks like this now? !Why not before?Why did he look like he was not on the stage and made people laugh before he got married?
Zhao Xinlan only felt her head buzzing and became dizzy for a while.
Before, she comforted herself that even though Sun Jun was inferior to Xiang Yuan in knowledge and ability, at least he had a suave personality, and it was pleasing to watch, which was also a consolation.But seeing Xiang Yuan here now, she couldn't calm down.
"You, you and Xiang Yuan, are you okay?"
After hesitating for a cup of tea, Zhao Xinlan couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Shen gave her a strange look, and said, "It's pretty good, how about eldest sister? Brother-in-law transferred to Tongping, but are you still used to it?"
"Of course I'm fine too. Your brother-in-law is very obedient to me. This time I sent Xiang Anjiu here, and I've been admonishing and exhorting me. I'm tired of his nagging." Zhao Xinlan held the pearls on her temples reservedly, and made a vice. Distressed.
"That's very good."
The corners of Zhao Shen's mouth twitched a little, why did he feel that Zhao Xinlan was here to show off on purpose?But is it necessary?He won't be sad if she lives well, and he won't be happy if she lives badly.Even if he hadn't exchanged marriages at the beginning, he would not have been promised to Sun Jun by Mr. Zhao. There was really no need for Zhao Xinlan to be so defensive.
What's more, in his eyes, a thousand sun juns are not worth a single mum.Only when he was insane did he become jealous of Zhao Xinlan.
There was silence between the two of them again.
Zhao Shen wanted to get busy with something, but Zhao Xinlan didn't say leave, and he couldn't talk to push people away, so he could only sit and drink tea with him here, feeling quite bored for a while.
In the study room, Xiang Yuan unfolded Li's handwriting that Xiang Anjiu had brought over, which explained why Xiang Anjiu was sent here.It turned out that Xiang Li took a concubine a few months ago, and Mrs. Li has briefly mentioned the twists and turns during the process. In Xiang Yuan's view, it was nothing more than an old trick of a hero saving the beauty.However, the concubine was quite knowledgeable and interesting, coaxing Xiang Li into a dizzy state, and he had a rift with his first wife, Feng Niang.The concubine's room brought a brother who was idle all day long, and from time to time hooked up with Xiang Anjiu, who was studying in a government school, to go out and mess around, and even went to some dirty places.Xiang Anjiu was young, although she tried her best to refuse, but five or six out of ten times she would succeed.Feng Niang had a few fights with Xiang Li because of this, but the concubine took advantage of them all, and she became more and more divorced from Xiang Li.Feng Niang had no choice, fearing that Xiang Anjiu would be ruined by the concubine's house and her brother, she hurriedly asked Mrs. Li for help.It happened that Zhao Xinlan's husband was going to be transferred to Tongping Mansion, the two women's family made a plan, and sent Xiang Anjiu out to join his uncle without telling Xiang Li.
Xiang Yuan frowned after reading it. In his impression, although Xiang Li had no choice but to join the business, he still carried the reservedness of a scholar's son, and he couldn't do the reason to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. Could there be something hidden in it?
"What books do you read on weekdays? Where did you go in school?"
Xiang Yuan thought that his attitude was already very amiable, but Xiang Anjiu was still so nervous that he didn't know what to do.In front of him, ask him how he is studying, but he is the famous number one scholar!If he was a scholar, my mother would probably be so happy that she would worship the Bodhisattva.No. [-] scholar, that is unthinkable.
"Back, back to my uncle, my nephew, my nephew is blunt. Now I only read the three-character classic, the hundred family names, and the thousand-character prose by heart. I have also started to read the rules of disciples, but I still can't memorize them all. Qionglin also read some of them. , but I still can’t remember it.”
Xiang Anjiu should be a little over seven years old this year. She is only familiar with enlightenment books at this age, and she started a bit late.Xiang Yuan also tested Xiang Anjiu on some general knowledge questions. Seeing that although he didn't answer fluently, he could express clearly and concisely, so he nodded inwardly. He can still teach.
Xiang Yuan put away the letter, turned around and found a booklet from the bookshelf, handed it to Xiang Anjiu and said, "This is the study plan I gave to my book boy Xiang Yu earlier, take it back and read it carefully, according to your own situation, Write me a plan."
Xiang Anjiu hurriedly took it, and saw that there were not only reading plans, but also some reading insights. Although the handwriting was small, it seemed very strong.Thinking of my two strokes, I can't help feeling envious.
"During dinner, Xiang Yu, oh, it's Xiaodou." Seeing that Xiang Anjiu was still in a daze, Xiang Yuan explained with a smile: "When he entered the official school, he changed his name. His surname is the same as ours, so he can be regarded as my disciple." .”
Xiang Anjiu nodded understandingly.
"You just live with him. I'm afraid I won't have much free time to take you with me in the future. On weekdays, you just study with Xiaodou. When you encounter something you don't understand, ask him first. If he doesn't explain well, then ask me. But every month I will conduct spot checks at the beginning, middle and end of the month, so don't be lazy."
Xiang Anjiu hastily stated that he would not be lazy, and his appearance was clean and well-behaved, which made Xiang Yuan feel ashamed to tease him.
"But, uncle, mother told me to help out more."
Xiang Anjiu twisted her fingers, hesitated for a while and said.
Seeing Xiang Anjiu's obedient appearance, Xiang Yuan couldn't help but patted his head, and said: "Uncle has servants here, so there is no need for you to help with things. But don't worry, when you need it , uncle will not be polite."
He comforted Xiang Anjiu with his mouth, but in his heart, Xiang Yuan silently decided that this temper had to be changed.It's not a good thing for boys to be so well-behaved.I made up my mind to teach my nephew more in the future, not to be a little fox, but I can't go out like a little white rabbit.
As a result, accidentally, he taught his originally cute and cute little nephew to become a vixen with a black belly. Even his disciple Xiang Yu, who regarded him as a nephew, was killed by someone after they walked into the court together. Nicknamed the Fox family.
This is something.
After setting up Xiang Anjiu, Xiang Yuan brought him out, and saw his wife and Zhao Xinlan sitting opposite each other, but they were silent, as if they were alone, drinking tea by themselves.
Xiang Yuan led Xiang Anjiu forward, and at a distance of half a meter, thanked Zhao Xinlan.
Zhao Xinlan looked directly over at first, and stared at Xiang Yuan for half a cup of tea. Seeing Xiang Yuan frowning impatiently, Zhao Shen looked over in confusion, and then seemed to come back to his senses, lowered his gaze, and said softly: "You're welcome, between relatives, it's just a matter of raising your hands."
Then he said to Zhao Shen: "Just arrived in Quzhou, I heard that you are pregnant, I haven't congratulated you yet."
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, only when Zhao Xinlan remembered this matter, he thanked her with a smile and asked about her situation.Zhao Xinlan slightly turned her face away, revealing her pretty face, with a look of sadness on her brows, and a wry smile at the corner of her mouth, which made her look even more lovable.
"I'm not as lucky as you. Since I married at the order of my parents, the destiny of this woman's family is not like my own."
Why does this sound so weird?Zhao Shen frowned in confusion.
Zhao Xinlan also seemed to have slipped her tongue for a moment, she bit her lips in annoyance, turned her face and smiled at Zhao Shen, glanced at Xiang Yuan, and saw that he was drinking tea leisurely as if he didn't hear him, occasionally looked over, but only stared at him. Looking at Zhao Shen alone, he didn't take a moment to look elsewhere.
It's very polite.
For a moment, Zhao Xinlan secretly regretted what she just blurted out, and felt that it was boring.After sitting down for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
The carriage rolled out of Quzhou, and there was still a scene of work in full swing along the way.Zhao Xinlan couldn't help but think that if Xiang Yuan continued to act like this, Quzhou might change.And once such outstanding achievements are made, the next evaluation, I am afraid that he will definitely be promoted.
Sun Jun has just joined Tongping, and within three years, the position of Tongju may not be able to move.And three years later, the magistrate was on top, and it would be difficult for him to be promoted.
The position of Tong San's wife is higher than that of the county magistrate's wife, but if Xiang Yuan is promoted again, her status may be inferior to that of Zhao Shen.Leaning on the carriage, Zhao Xinlan lightly stroked her wrist, thinking: If mother knew Xiang Yuan's current ability, would she regret that she tried her best to host the exchange?
Sending Zhao Xinlan away, Zhao Shen hurriedly handed the list of goods to Xiang Yuan, and said, "Look, Congzi, these are feasible?"
He Congshan sent a letter a month ago, and half a month later, it will be the big festival of the Mongols and Tartars outside the Guanwai - Autumn Hunting.The demand for various goods in the pass increased sharply from the nobles of Mongolia and Tatars.He Congshan's letter specifically asked them that although they were only given one quota, they could be allowed to bring more goods this time.Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen received the letter, and said that only when they fell asleep would they have pillows. This autumn hunting is so timely, it really solved their problem.
Quzhou is waiting for such an opportunity to sell Quzhou's unique products and completely open up the market.
Xiang Yuan took it over and took a closer look. There were not only silky chickens on it, but also no less than ten kinds of goods such as herbs, mountain products, fruits, and dry goods.Xiang Yuan thought for a while, took a pen and changed some of the quantities, handed it back to Zhao Shen, and said: "You can add some herbs and mountain products in moderation, and general things such as dried fruits, even if they are not less, you can reduce them to some extent." Portion, a unique product in Quzhou, add more. Black-bone chicken, in addition to live animals, prepare more marinated and smoked chickens, these are easy to store, and may be easier to sell than live animals."
"If you pickle it, I'm afraid it won't work well."
"Don't be afraid, try it a few more times, and it will definitely work. If you tell me how to eat the textures I mentioned, if someone succeeds in researching them, give them lots of rewards, and they will naturally think of a way."
Zhao Shen laughed, and said: "Your reward method has been spread all over the world. If there is a good method, no one is afraid of making a fool of yourself. They are all vying to report it, hoping to be favored by Xiang Zhengtang. How about a reward of a few taels of silver?"
"Isn't that great? It's not difficult to do things by brainstorming. Otherwise, you and I will be exhausted. It doesn't matter if it's just me, but Jinyan is the key to protect now. If there is any mistake, who can do it?" I can afford it!"
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Zhao Shen's forehead, hugged him and said, "It's still so long before the little guy comes out, it's too late. His father will hold back for ten months, and he will spank his ass when he comes out!"
Zhao Shen pushed him with a dark face, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I've fixed it, you can take a look."
