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

Chapter 131 Settlement
Zhou family.

As soon as the carriage arrived, Zhou Ling's laughter reached his ears.

"Here I come, cousin!"

"Ling'er!" Xu Shuhe also pulled aside the curtains and greeted her enthusiastically.

Only then did they realize that there were not only their uncle Zhou Yiqing and aunt Lin Hui standing at the door to greet them, but also their two cousins ​​and their wives who they hadn't seen the last time.

After getting off the carriage, the group greeted each other and started chatting lively.

"It's very cold outside. Let's go inside and talk. Your grandmother is waiting." Zhou Yiqing greeted with a smile.

Lin Hui nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, don't keep the old lady waiting for too long. You've been traveling all the way, so after you see the old lady, go and take a rest. We'll set up a nice dinner for you tonight to welcome you!"

"Thank you, aunt." Xu Shuhe said with a smile, and suddenly leaned closer to look at Lin Hui's face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hui raised her hand and touched her face. "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Xu Shuhe waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, I saw that my aunt looked very good today, her skin was white and rosy, smooth and soft, as if covered with a layer of moonlight, I thought my aunt had applied some of the best makeup powder in the capital, so I wanted to take a closer look, but I never thought that my aunt was actually wearing a plain face, I was really envious."

When she said this, Lin Hui burst out laughing.

"You are such a sweet-talker, girl. I am already old, how can I be as good as you say."

"As the saying goes, beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Time never defeats beauty. Aunt is so modest." Xu Shuhe curled his lips, stretched out his arm around Zhou Ling beside him, and continued, "Looking at how aunt has a daughter as pretty as Sister Ling'er, and how the two cousins ​​are also handsome men, we know that aunt and uncle must have been very handsome when they were young!"

This topic led to a lot of conversation afterwards, and everyone present praised her. Chen Zhi, who was listening nearby, silently gave his wife a thumbs up in his heart.

He is not good at speaking and cannot come up with so many nice words.

Now I just followed the crowd and walked towards the mansion.

Xu Shuhe and Zhou Ling were now chatting with the two cousins-in-law whom they met for the first time.

As for women nowadays, the topics they talk about are makeup, jewelry, clothes and snacks. Xu Shuhe runs Yunshang Pavilion and a rouge shop. Her aesthetic taste is more unique and novel than it is now, so it is really relaxing to chat with them.

Look, even the elderly old lady of the Zhou family is particularly fond of Xu Shu and her grandson's wife.

When they met, they held hands and talked, asking about each other's well-being all the time, which made his two grandsons' wives joke that they were jealous.

Yes, how can a girl who is sweet-mouthed and well-behaved not be likable?

The excitement didn't stop until after dinner when we returned home.

Xu Shuhe lay down on the bed without any image and let out a long sigh.

"Are you too tired? I saw you talking to a group of people today, it must be very tiring." Chen Zhi sat down next to her and said softly.

"It's not a big deal. Everyone at this table is honest and sincere. It's comfortable to get along with. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to say so much." Xu Shuhe turned over, lay on his stomach and turned his head to look at him, smiling helplessly, "It's just that I'm too full. They're all very enthusiastic and keep adding more dishes for me."

Seeing that she didn't feel bothered, Chen Zhi relaxed a little, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"I noticed that you ate a little more than usual today, so I asked Zhang Ping to come back and make some tea to help digestion. Would you like to get up and drink some?"

As he spoke, Chen Zhi extended his hand to her.

Xu Shuhe said lazily, "I don't want to drink tea anymore. Do you have any pills? Hawthorn pills."

"Yes." Chen Zhi nodded.

Hearing this, Xu Shuhe took his hand and let him pull her up.

After eating the meatballs, he asked, "When will you report to the government office? Do you want to see the fifth prince first?" "I have someone secretly deliver a letter today. If Your Highness wants to see me, I will naturally arrange it. I can't act rashly. After all, my entry into the Dali Temple this time was not openly arranged by Your Highness." Chen Zhi said seriously.

He is still a hidden chess piece.

Xu Shuhe didn't intend to interfere in his affairs for the time being, so after asking a few questions, he didn't say anything more.

After a tiring whole day, they both fell asleep after washing up.

For the next period of time, we basically acted separately.

Xu Shuhe had to choose and purchase a house, hire maids and servants, and then arrange for cleanup. Even if he did it quickly, it would probably take nearly ten days to complete everything.

After all, we are going to live here for a long time, so we can't be careless about these things.

The capital city is worthy of being the capital of the emperor. Although it is close to Qizhou, the prices are indeed a bit high. Xu Shu and Hua Yinzi both feel a little pain in the neck.

But he couldn't save on these things. Seeing that the money was being spent but there was no income, Xu Shuhe felt very uneasy. He wanted to settle down quickly, choose a good store, and start his business.

Xu Shuhe thought that she should start with fabrics and clothes, as this was her advantage.

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

At the same time, Chen Zhi had met with the fifth prince in private once. He did not tell him what the arrangements were, and Xu Shuhe did not ask. In short, he successfully entered the Dali Temple to work.

There are not many cases recently, so I am currently organizing the files.

This is a good position for Chen Zhi. It is not very tiring and he can quickly learn about the cases handled by the Dali Temple in the past. From the trial process of these cases, he can also roughly infer the personalities of the senior officials in the Dali Temple.

Of course, organizing the files also means less contact with other people. He can observe carefully for a while and figure out the intentions of each party.

Taking advantage of this, Chen Zhi, the newcomer, had a relatively stable life in the Dali Temple for a while.

half a month later.

Taking advantage of Chen Zhi's first day off since joining the company, the two moved into the new house they bought in the capital.

The location chosen was Yuanbao Lane in the south of the city. It was a two-story house with a small garden.

The previous owner of the house was a flower and green plant business, specializing in providing green plant scenery services for the wealthy families in Beijing. He also sold some rare flowers and plants, and did some cultivation. Now that he has earned enough money, he and his family moved out of Kyoto last year during the Chinese New Year and returned to their hometown in the south to retire.

Because of the special nature of this profession, although this house is not big, it is very exquisite inside, and the price is naturally higher than other houses in the same area.

However, Xu Shuhe took a fancy to her, so he showed no mercy and took her away directly.

They had already moved all their things in over the past few days. Today they said they were moving into a new house, but in fact, the couple just moved in finally.

Chen Zhi had never been here before. Today was the housewarming party and it was the first time for him to see his home in the capital.

Thinking about living here with Xu Shuhe in the future, and having two children together, and living a happy family, a warmth rose in my heart and flowed through my limbs, and I seemed to be bathed in the spring sunshine.

Xu Shuhe is having a banquet today, and there are two tables.

Inside were the Zhou family's relatives, and in the side rooms were several of Chen Zhi's colleagues, who also worked as clerks in the Dali Temple.

After all, most of the serious officials actually look down on clerks. In their eyes, there is not much difference between clerks and servants, so the clerks tend to stick together. Chen Zhi is new here, so naturally he has to build good relationships with people of his own class first.

It was a lively housewarming party. The Zhou family kept praising Xu Shu for her virtue and ability. Chen Zhi's friends also enjoyed the meal and drinks to their heart's content. Seeing that Chen Zhi was not from a poor family, they secretly looked up to him even more.

This is the reality, flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

This is especially true in the capital.
