I rewrote family history

Chapter 159 Contradictions between husband and wife, the third party

"You stay at my house tonight, and I will take you back tomorrow."

"It's getting late..."

"You are a girl's house, the road is not safe."

After the two finished talking about the fox fairy, they had nothing else to say.After all, they don't have many opportunities to meet each other, only a few times in the past year.Therefore, they are much strangers than when they met at the beginning of last year.

So the two remained silent for a while before Xu Cong spoke.

Even though Ms. Yu is accompanied by the old servant of Liu Zhai, the world is really not peaceful now.The warlords fought, Guangzhou and Yanjing fought, Zhizhi and Anhui fought, and Feng clique fought...  

Although Xinye is a remote place, you can see some rout soldiers on the road from time to time.

Counting on an old servant cannot protect Miss Yu's safety.

At night, going home, the risk is too great.

If something happened to Ms. Yu, Xu Cong could hardly imagine how he would face his husband and wife....

"Okay, I'll stay at your house tonight."

"You have to treat me with good food and drink, don't fool me with bad food..."

Compared to last year, Miss Yu this year is much more cheerful and knows how to joke with Xu Cong.

She pointed to the seat in the front row of the stage, "I'll sit there and watch the show."

It's just that after she said this, when she was about to go forward, she hesitated, "These seats are empty, are there people sitting there?"

The entire row of seats in front of the stage was empty except for a few people.

If there was no one there, she saw that the back row was crowded with people, and some people just stood and watched without a seat.

Seats are never vacant.

"No one is sitting..."

Xu Cong said this sentence.

He felt that this sentence still couldn't explain the situation, thought for a while, and emphasized: "No one dares to sit. The seats in the first row are the seats of my family and Shuwen's family. Except for a few elders, the rest of the seats Both belong to my family and his family, I am the deputy patriarch, he is the patriarch..."

"Well..., sit down, there are enough seats."

"If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to add more. This play... my father invited the troupe to sing, so there will be no shortage of your seat."

After speaking, he took a breath.

In this call, he spoke a little anxiously.

Causing to be out of breath.

"how?"

"Haven't you heard of the opera? Don't you know about this?"

Xu Cong had heard the play in Huasheng Building in the county seat several times.He knew that the good Tianzihao boxes on the Huasheng Building were always unoccupied, and they were reserved exclusively for dignitaries.Miss Yu is the niece of the deputy county magistrate, a lady from Los Angeles, she should know these simple truths.

"I've heard it, I know..."

"I just didn't expect it to be the same in the countryside."

Miss Yu took her seat, watched the scene for a while, and replied casually.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Xu Cong, who was sitting next to Miss Yu, froze for a moment.

The countryside should be primitive.

But why... there are so many rules.

He laughed at Zhao Jiashu and others, thinking that they only learn new ideas and claim to be the pioneers of freedom, but they enjoy the service of slaves, a kind of false freedom.

However, in fact, he also unknowingly became someone like Zhao Jiashu.

change?

How should he change?

He was very confused.

Anyone can pursue new ideas and new freedoms.

Just like the new trend of cutting off braids in the first year of the Republic of China.

Xun Qing is gone, the rules... haven't changed much.

Xu Shuwen and his wife were fascinated by listening to the opera last night.

This evening, the couple came again.

Accompanied by Chen Xian'an.

They met on the road and came together.

As for Miss Yu, Chen Xian'an recalled for a while, she didn't seem to have met her face to face.

Seeing that Ms. Yu and Xu Cong seemed a little intimate, she asked, "Xu Cong, who is she? Why haven't I seen her before... Who is she?"

"Mister's niece, Miss Yu."

"She also participated in our big wedding in the county last year, but you...were in the wedding room and didn't see her."

Xu Cong explained.

"Miss Yu..."

Chen Xian'an nodded, repeating these three words several times.

Although she had never met Miss Yu, she had learned of Miss Yu's existence from Xu Cong.

Very familiar feeling.

When is it
She didn't listen to the babbling on the stage. Although she looked at the costumes of the characters in Shengmo Jingchou, she didn't remember anything in her mind.Seeing that Qin Xuemei had changed from a young lady to a pretty widow, she was not moved at all, like an extremely indifferent person, neither happy nor sad.

(In the Henan opera classic "Qin Xuemei", the protagonist is called Qin Xuemei.)
It's...in Yanjing!

Chen Xian'an remembered that night when she met Xu Cong...

Xu Cong said that he couldn't help falling in love with another person.

Afterwards, she asked who that person was....

Xu Cong told the truth.

This was the first time she learned of Miss Yu's existence.

At this moment, the rustling noise of Tian Huilan wiping her tears with a handkerchief could be heard in her ears. She came back to her senses and turned her head to the left in surprise.

And at this moment, the opera is at the last moment.

"Mr. Shang, my short-lived husband. I really hope that the married woman will sing along with her husband. Who knows that you will leave me and die before the marriage is completed. I really hope that you will be the number one on the gold list... I really hope that I will wear Fengguanxia, ​​but Unexpectedly, I put on filial clothes today..."

Qin Xuemei sang sadly.

The curtain fell on the stage, and today's play has come to an end.

"Xian'an, I didn't expect you to be like me, crying while listening to the opera..."

"The acting is really good, just like the real thing."

Tian Huilan couldn't help sighing when she saw that Chen Xian'an was also wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Only women know women's suffering.

From the love between Qin Xuemei and Mr. Shang, to Mr. Shang's death, Qin Xuemei's loss and widowhood, every scene hit her heart directly and made her cry.

"Yes, very touching."

Chen Xian'an agreed.

She saw that many women around her were crying, and she couldn't be indifferent all the time.

So I can only pretend to cry.

After the opera troupe finished singing, Xu Cong's family returned to the new Xu residence together with Zhou's opera troupe.He and Team Leader Zhou bid farewell to each other in the courtyard, and after saying good night to each other, he arranged a room for Miss Yu to stay temporarily.

"The humble house is simple, Miss Yu, don't dislike it..."

Xu Cong took a look at the furnishings of the room and said with shame.

Even though his family's house is considered good in the countryside, compared to the wealthy households in the county town... it is not a little bit worse.

In addition, the master bedroom and the second bedroom are well furnished, but the guest room is undoubtedly far behind.

Almost nothing.

He was really embarrassed to let Miss Yu live in such a simple house.

"It's okay, just have a bed to sleep in."

"Anyway...just stay for one night."

Miss Yu walked in, touched the bed, saw that it was still new, and said with a smile: "Look, the bedding is all new. This is a good way to welcome guests..."

She has the self-consciousness of being a guest.

How can you despise the host when you are a guest.

"Then go to bed early."

"I'll take my leave first, men and women are different..."

Seeing that Ms. Yu did not seem to be a fake, Xu Cong was a little relieved and said goodbye to her.

"go Go."

Miss Yu waved her hands like chasing a cat.

She is still young, still childlike.

Guest room door closed twice.It was Xu Cong who closed the door first. When he left the house, he closed the door behind him.It was Ms. Yu who closed last. She waited for Xu Cong to go far away, then opened the door of the guest room, carefully stretched her head out to look outside, and saw him turn away from the corridor, then closed the door and closed the latch.

"Miss Yu... why is she here?"

"What is she doing here?"

Back in the second bedroom, the first thing Xu Cong faced was Chen Xian'an's questioning.

Although the provisional contract stipulates monogamy, there are people with three wives and four concubines everywhere in society.Even some who call themselves teachers of progressives are not exempt.When she was in Yanjing, she heard a lot of lace anecdotes from Peking University professors.

She wasn't worried that Xu Cong would change his mind, she was worried that Xu Cong fell in love with another woman...

"She came here..."

Xu Cong's words were stuck in his throat.

Miss Yu came to Xujiabaozi for only one purpose, and that was to tell him about Master Hu's becoming a fairy.Other than that, Miss Yu had nothing else to look for him.

But can he tell Chen Xian'an the truth?
The family has just been in a commotion all morning because of the fox fairy.

Including him, he was depressed all day because of this.

If you tell Chen Xian'an the truth..., I'm afraid she won't believe it either.

She couldn't see the fox fairy, but Miss Yu could?

Isn't this the big joke of the slippery world?

"For what?"

Chen Xian'an's words followed closely.

She stared at Xu Cong intently.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask."

Seeing Xu Cong's delay in explaining clearly, Chen Xian'an's heart trembled instantly.She pretended to be calm, and graciously ended the question just now.

But in fact, she felt the pain in her heart at the moment.

"I slept."

She got on the couch with her clothes on, with her back to Xu Cong.

this moment.

Whether it's Xu Cong or Chen Xian'an... they all feel that there is a little more estrangement in their hearts.

The lattice fan was pushed away again.

The moonlight is fine tonight, with the moon and stars dotting the black dome.Xu Cong watched the moon for a long time alone.He wanted to call Chen Xian'an to see this month.But his words were still stuck in his throat, making it difficult to utter.Maybe they are married. People who are not married will do some meaningless things.

And yet after getting married..., the romance doesn't seem to be romantic anymore.

A little bit of tears wet the bed sheets, and Chen Xian'an could no longer hold back his emotions when he heard the sound of the window opening and the door opening.

She is very tired today.

Xu Cong wandered in the courtyard endlessly.

He walked to Miss Yu's door, wanting to ask about the fox fairy's recent situation.How is it?But he didn't dare to knock on the door for a long time, after staring at it for a few times, Xiao Ran left,

However, when he turned around the waist of the corridor, he saw a faint light glowing in the forest in the backyard.

There are no houses near Xinxu's house.His family used to be a poor household in the village.

Only poor people build houses here.

Where is the light coming from?
He followed the light and took a look.In the dark night, a man who couldn't see his face clearly was talking with Qin Xuemei on the stage. They... seemed to be talking about love....

Soon, the light was blown out.

Xu Cong shook his head and left quietly.

He had no intention of making a fuss.

Go back to the room.

"Do not touch me……"

"I'm not feeling well tonight."

Chen Xian'an, who was reclined on the bed, pushed Xu Cong away and said in a low voice.

Xu Cong glanced at the bed sheet subconsciously, and found that the bed sheet had been newly changed, so he believed Chen Xian'an's words.Resisting the desire born from breaking the adulterous relationship between the man and woman, she closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Miss Yu got into the carriage, ready to say goodbye.

"Will you stay a little longer?"

Xu Cong said polite words.

He can't just stay for one night when a guest comes, and he goes to chase them away.

"No."

"I told my uncle and aunt that I only come to you for one day. If I come here for a long time, they will probably blame me for just playing around..."

"It would be bad if they sent me back to Los Angeles."

After Miss Yu made this call, she got into the carriage and left Xujiabaozi.

After noon, eat rolling noodles.

Xu San'er sat in the dining room, chewing the wet tea leaves after drinking tea.After seeing his daughter-in-law leaving with the bowls and chopsticks, he turned to look at Xu Cong, "Did you quarrel with your daughter-in-law? Don't worry about denying it, your father and I have seen it. During the meal just now, you and your daughter-in-law obviously had an awkward fight !"

"Is it because of the lady of Mr.'s family?"

"Hmph! As I said before, the bucket is not tightly tightened, but you still want to hold water, thinking about your good deeds!"

"It's not that easy..."

He spat out the tea foam from his mouth and sneered.

If Xu Cong married a decent girl, he would not marry a progressive female student like Chen Xian'an.That kind of thing just doesn't happen.

Just because Miss Yu came, there was a conflict between husband and wife.

It can be seen that Chen Xian'an's heart is shallow.

"father……"

"Don't worry about these things."

"Xian'an, she...she is not feeling well these days, after a while, she will be fine."

Although Xu San'er guessed the truth, Xu Cong didn't want to admit it.

Once you admit your failure, it is a surrender to feudalism.His father was thinking in the old feudal way.It was just for the harmony of the family that I apologized to Chen Xian'an last year.

"Just be clear in your heart..."

"Father... doesn't intend to take care of some trivial matters, but just prepares you in your heart."

Xu San'er said.

After he finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth.

"I went to the theater."

"Think about it yourself... don't just feel uncomfortable in your heart..."

Xu San'er sang opera tunes with her hands behind her back, and walked away from the dining room.

After a while.

Chen Xian'an entered the dining room, she frowned, "Mr. Xu, it's settled, I'm going to the county town today to meet my parents and talk about your business plan, what's the matter with you? Forget about it?"

Yesterday morning, Xu Cong said that he planned to do business.She took these words to heart.It's just that because yesterday was a temple fair, I couldn't leave easily.In addition, it was not short of a day's work, so it was decided to go to the county today to discuss with her father about starting a business.

"Xian'an, are you not angry with me?"

Xu Cong was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

Of course he remembered this matter.

It's just...he and Chen Xian'an had a marital conflict, and if he asked Chen Xian'an's natal family for help, he would feel somewhat embarrassed and shameless.

Now Chen Xianan took the initiative to mention this matter....

Should not be angry.

he guessed.

"It's natural to be angry..."

"But... anger can't solve the problem, and you can't delay the business because of anger. I still understand the truth..."

"Change your clothes and dress better. You can't lose my face when you see my parents..."

Chen Xian'an glanced at Xu Cong and said displeased.
