Chapter 230 Calculation ()

Mrs. Xue talked about Buddhist scriptures for a while, and then started gossiping again. Naturally, she talked about Xue Lin: "...the Xue family passed down poems and books, and all the sons and daughters were studying for the imperial examination. This young grandson of me is five years old. Enlightenment, I will go to a government school at the age of eleven, and in a year or two, I will be able to take the exam."

"Master Xue Qi is young and talented. He will definitely be able to go to high school in the future." Jiang Shaohua answered with a smile.

Mrs. Xue liked hearing these words, and she immediately beamed: "Thanks to the princess's kind words, I also hope that he will be successful. I am not bragging. I have lived for more than seventy years and have met many young men. Like Qilang, he is smart and filial. Good sex is rare."

Xue Lin was praised so much that his scalp went numb and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Xue Liuniang also felt embarrassed and wanted to cover her face and leave.

What does "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone"! Grandma was too explicit! Thanks to the princess's good self-control, she was still calm and composed, neither shy nor angry.

But Chen Sheren, who was standing aside, had a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

Mrs. Xue's behavior was really beneath her status.

The princess is the lord of Nanyang. She is unparalleled in beauty, and is top-notch in literary and military skills. If she wants to get married in the future, her husband must be carefully selected. What did Mrs. Xue mean by casually pushing her grandson in front of the princess?
To put it lightly, this is disrespectful to the princess. To put it more seriously, this is disrespectful to the Nanyang Palace.

The princess has a good temper and is well-educated. She, Chen Jinyu, is a sharp-tongued person and does not tolerate such idleness.

"Mrs. Xue," Chen Jinyu asked coldly, "I heard that Governor Xue has five sons and one daughter. Is this seventh son also the son of Governor Xue?"

Mrs. Xue was interrupted and was a little unhappy. She glanced at Chen Jinyu and said, "Qilang is the son of Lao Shen's second son. His father died early and arrived at the Governor's Mansion at the age of three. He was raised by Lao Shen."

Chen Jinyu showed a look of surprise: "Oh, it turns out he is the nephew of Governor Xue. The old lady was vague before, I thought he was the youngest son of Governor Xue!"

Xue Lin: "..."

Mrs. Xue frowned and said calmly: "My nephew is no different from my youngest son."

Chen Jinyu said with a smile: "In our Nanyang County, nephews and sons are different. Sons inherit the family business, but nephews are not qualified. I guess it is because I have low vision and knowledge, and I don't know the customs and practices of Jingzhou."

Mrs. Xue: "..."

Xue Lin blushed in embarrassment.

Mrs. Xue loved him very much. She always kept him by her side, and it was even more common for her to talk about him. It is common for the female relatives to praise Mrs. Xue, and he, Mr. Xue Qi, is also praised and boasted from time to time. As time went by, even he himself almost forgot his identity as a dependent.

Chen Jinyu's words today really hurt the pain of both the grandfather and the grandson.

No matter how generous my uncle is, he is not a father.

Governor Xue had five sons, and the family property resources were not enough to be divided among the five sons, so how could he get his turn.

Jiang Shaohua gave Chen Jinyu an angry look: "Chen Sheren, please speak more kindly, don't be so mean."

Chen Jinyu immediately responded and stopped talking.

Jiang Shaohua smiled apologetically at Mrs.

Mrs. Xue was stabbed so hard that her heart ached. Her old face was burning, but she couldn't lose her composure in public. She squeezed out a smile and said, "It's just casual gossip. How can I care about a yellow-haired girl?"

As soon as the words "Huang Mao Ya Tou" came into her ears, Chen Jinyu couldn't stop laughing.

She suddenly understood what the princess had said. As a woman, it is really difficult to do something to impress others. In the eyes of everyone, she relied on her childhood friendship and the kindness of her grandfather to become a sacrificer. What I am like is not worth mentioning.

Jiang Shaohua's smile also faded: "Chen Sheren is my princess's wife. She works diligently on weekdays. This princess values ​​​​and trusts her very much."

Jiang Shaohua always smiled in front of Mrs. Xue and fulfilled the etiquette of a junior. His face suddenly changed, his demeanor also changed, and the oncoming condensation made people almost breathless.

Magistrate Lei and others trembled in their hearts and lowered their heads, not daring to look at the princess.

Mrs. Xue was also shocked and looked at Jiang Shaohua in surprise.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shaohua seemed to have changed into a different person? Even she felt frightened by this overwhelming aura.

"Chen Sheren is the first female official in Nanyang County," Jiang Shaohua said unhurriedly: "In the guard camp, Miss Sun is the military doctor, Miss Kong is the wife, and the female principal of Ye County is Li. In this county Under the rule of the princess, more and more women will work as errands. "

"The old lady is not used to it now. When she sees more in the future, she will gradually get used to it."

Mrs. Xue's blood surged when she heard this, and she subconsciously blurted out: "Officials and errands are all men's business, and women should take care of the house, care for their husbands, and raise children. Doesn't the princess go against the moral code of yin and yang by doing this?"

Jiang Shaohua raised his eyebrows and smiled slowly: "In Nanyang County, I have the final say. Maybe, in a few years, it will become a common thing for women to work as errands. The old lady will live long enough to see that day. "

Mrs. Xue was so choked that she almost couldn't breathe.

Xue Lin was so shocked that he looked up at the princess.

Xue Liuniang was also staring at the princess. The difference was that in addition to the shock, there was also an indescribable heat surging in her heart.

It was as if I saw a window in a closed room. The window was very high and emitted strong light, attracting her to move forward in the darkness.

……

After Mrs. Xue had lunch at the county government office, she said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Xue, who had been holding back for a long time, was furious after getting on the carriage: "Absurd! Absolutely absurd! How unbecoming a woman is when she shows up!"

"The princess left early and didn't have the upbringing of her elders. After all, she is a bit worse."

Xue Liu Niang raised her eyes and said softly: "Grandma can't say such nonsense. The princess has a distinguished status, so even my father must bow his head and salute when he sees the princess."

Mrs. Xue snorted from her nose: "Of course I know this. Otherwise, how could I have endured this suffocation today."

"I'm just very sorry that the good princess has such a perverse and willful temper. No son from a good family will dare to marry her in the future. Nine times out of ten, she will be like her own mother, who hired a cowardly and useless son-in-law. ”

This is so harsh to say.

Xue Liuniang frowned: "Grandma, please be careful what you say."

Xue Lin, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly raised his head, his face flushed: "Grandma, I think the princess is very good."

Mrs. Xue and Xue Liu Niang were both stunned and looked at Xue Lin.

Xue Lin blushed at the sight of her grandmother and cousin: "I don't mean anything else. I just think that the princess is different from ordinary girls, and people can't help but worship her."
