The daily routine of the mistress of the Hou family training her husband

Chapter 126 Tangled
"They were fine during the day, why did they suddenly quarrel?"

Zheng gently stroked her daughter who was lying on her lap and asked in a low voice.

She has been observing Chen Zhi's words and actions these days. Whether it is towards Xu Shuhe or managing the business, there is nothing to fault. He is a man who treats his wife gently and considerately, and is also capable of supporting a family. He is really a good person.

"He is a toad wanting to eat swan flesh." Xu Shuhe was in a bad mood and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Zheng frowned, "Eating swan meat? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to a girl from a certain family and wants to bring her back as a concubine?"

This was outrageous. They had been married for less than a year, and it was Xu Shuhe who rescued Chen Zhi after he was in danger. If Chen Zhi wanted to take a concubine, Zheng would naturally firmly oppose it and support her daughter.

Seeing that his mother had misunderstood, Xu Shuhe hurried to explain.

"No, no, mother, what are you thinking? He will not do such a thing."

"Then tell me what happened." Zheng's face became serious. "If you don't explain clearly, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

When she said that, Xu Shuhe pursed his lips and had to tell the truth.

"Chen Zhi wants to enter the government."

Hearing this, Zheng was stunned at first, then a puzzled look appeared on her face, "It's a good thing to have such ambitions, why are you angry about this? If he becomes an official, you will be an official's wife in the future. Your status will be higher than it is now, and your descendants will have a better future."

"Mom, the imperial examination is so difficult. Although he has the title of scholar, he has already abandoned his studies for many years and focused on business. Now he suddenly has to continue studying for the imperial examination. How can it be so easy? I think it's unreliable anyway. It's better for him to do business steadily." Xu Shuhe curled his lips.

Of course, this is not the real reason why she opposes this matter in her heart, but if she had to name a few, these are the reasons.

"That being said, judging from his business experience, he is smart, hardworking, and studious. Give him three to five years to try. As long as he can qualify to take the Spring Examination, he may be able to pass. What kind of person is his fourth son? He was able to study to this point, so why can't he?"

Zheng absolutely agreed with her son-in-law's desire to enter the officialdom.

After all, looking at this matter from today's perspective, if it succeeds, it will be a class leap and will be of great significance to future generations.

No matter how good or rich a businessman is, he is not as good as being an official.

Moreover, in this dynasty, the emperor allows merchants to take part in the imperial examinations, but it was banned in the past, and merchants may be banned again in the future. So now is a good opportunity for merchants to change their family background and the fate of their descendants.

"mother!"

Xu Shuhe really couldn't stand hearing about these things about entering the officialdom, and stamped his feet in annoyance.

"I just think this won't work. It's better to stick to your current path and avoid more twists and turns. Besides, he wanted to be an official because he experienced this snowstorm and saw the suffering of the people. He wanted to seek welfare for the people and hoped to change the government. This is even more difficult. Even if he enters the officialdom, he will offend so many people for doing these things. He doesn't know how he will be eaten alive in the future. How can he deal with those old parasites with his passion?"

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Zheng thought that now was not the right time to persuade her, so she had to calm her down first.

"Okay, okay, I won't comment on your thoughts. Anyway, you two are going to live your life together. You should discuss this matter among yourselves."

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe lowered his eyes and realized that he was too excited.

He calmed down, responded muffledly, and said no more.

I tossed and turned all night and hardly slept a wink.

From a selfish point of view, Xu Shuhe certainly hoped that Chen Zhi would do business well and follow her plan, so that she could complete her mission as soon as possible and return to her original world. However, that was her selfishness, and it was actually unfair to Chen Zhi.

Entering the officialdom and doing business, not to mention the huge difference in social status, just talking about this matter alone, wanting to enter the officialdom is Chen Zhi's wish. For her own selfish reasons, she wants to stop Chen Zhi from trying what he wants to do, which is really selfish.

And based on her experience of getting along with Chen Zhi for nearly a year, since Chen Zhi said it, it meant that he had thought it over carefully and was mentally prepared.

Now that she has poured a basin of cold water on him, it must be a bad feeling.

What she is doing now is no different from using Chen Zhi as a tool or puppet to achieve her own personal goals.

But but
When people are struggling, there are always many reasons colliding in their minds, and no one can convince anyone else.

With all this on her mind, when she got up the next day, she was shocked when Xinyue was dressing her.

"Girl, the bruises under your eyes are too scary!"

"Use powder to cover it up." Xu Shuhe's voice was muffled and without much strength. "I'm a little tired today, so I won't go to distribute the porridge myself. You and Meixiang can take turns to watch over it for me."

As they were talking, Meixiang came in from outside, "Madam, the young master is here."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"No." Xu Shuhe spoke subconsciously, feeling irritated, and added, "I didn't get enough rest last night, and I want to be quiet now. Let him go back."

After all, she felt that she was not the one who was right, so facing Chen Zhi, she could not say anything harsh except to avoid him.

There was no need for Meixiang to repeat these words. Chen Zhi, who was standing at the door, had already heard them clearly and his face showed a sense of desolation.

It took him a long time to hand the thing in his hand to Meixiang.

"Young Madam has been busy distributing porridge these days. Yesterday, I asked Zhang Ping to find a famous doctor in the city to prepare some pills for nourishing the body and relieving fatigue. They also have warming and tonic effects. You can give them to Young Madam. Also, this is a pair of gloves made of rabbit fur. They were just delivered this morning."

"Yes." Meixiang took the things and bowed.

After bringing these to Xu Shuhe and relaying the original words, Xu Shuhe looked at the pills and gloves, and felt even more depressed.

After ordering the maids to leave, he turned around, threw himself on the bed, buried his face in the pillow, and shouted as if to vent his anger.

She really didn't know what to do.

The better Chen Zhi treated her, the more selfish she felt.

Whatever, let's just calm down.

After calming down a little, Xu Shuhe decided to go out and talk to Lin Jinyi.

Now she felt that the only person she could still confide in was Lin Jinyi. Besides, going out could also help her relax.

Sure enough, as a good sister, Lin Jin saw that she was in a bad mood and didn't ask any questions. She waved her hand and dragged her to the restaurant.

"Don't say anything yet. If you are in a bad mood, this delicious food can comfort you the most. If the food is not enough, then add a pot of good wine. Let's eat and drink first. If you are unhappy, think about it slowly and then tell me."
