Hearing Long Xiangye asked him to go over and talk, Xiao Shiji had no choice but to stand up slowly, went to the verandah outside and asked: "Where is the old lady? Is there anything important? I have business and I have to go out soon." It’s not good to delay. If it’s not something important, I won’t go there first. —— After all, it’s important, and mother will understand.” The woman he sent to inquire about the news came back and said, the old lady I went to the second room to see the second young lady.

That woman is Long Xiangye's confidant woman, she smiled reservedly and said: "Master, it's late now, what business can't be done tomorrow? The old lady really has something important to do with the second young lady. The uncle went to talk. ——The uncle has always been the most filial, and now the old lady is not in a good mood, looking at the uncle will definitely make her angry."

Xiao Shiji snorted, his face darkened, and he asked the woman with his hands behind his back: "You're getting worse and worse. I'm an elder brother, you let me go to the room of my younger siblings, why are you at ease? It's the old lady, she won't be so stupid, you must be spreading nonsense. ——Come on, drag me down and beat me hard!"

The old lady didn't expect Xiao Shiji to strike without further ado, she was so frightened that she couldn't care less about the difference between master and servant, she hurriedly turned around and ran out of the courtyard.

This woman is a popular person around the old lady, she has always had face in Xiao's house, Xiao Shi and the servants in the yard dare not make a sound, they just turned a blind eye and let her go.

Xiao Shiji stood under the verandah, and didn't let anyone chase him. He just smiled coldly and told the servants in his yard: "I have business, and I'm going out now. You stay here and watch the gate of the yard, without my order." , no one can be let in, do you hear me?" After speaking, he walked away, left his own yard, walked out the second door along the Chaoshou corridor, and went to the outer courtyard.

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Yanran were silent when they heard the movement outside the room.After Xiao Shiji lost his temper and left, Du Hengshuang cheered up.After chatting with Xiao Yanran again, he apologized: "It really hurts so much, I can't chat with my sister anymore."

Xiao Yanran hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, "I'll save it, I'm the one who interrupted you. Sister-in-law is going to take care of you, I'll come see you tomorrow."

After Xiao Yanran left.Ou Yangniang and Zhihua both came in, and asked worriedly: "Young Mistress, do you want to send a letter to Madam?" He wanted to send someone to tell Du Hengshuang's mother, Fang Wuniang.The daughter was wronged at her in-law's family, so of course she can only find support from her natal family.

Du Hengshuang shook his head, sitting alone in front of the lamp, his lonely figure getting thinner and thinner. "Let's wait. When the uncle comes back, I have discussed it with him. Then we will discuss it."

Fang Wuniang had taught her that husband and wife should discuss matters, and they must not just look at each other's relationship and be the master of each other.

As a result, Du Hengshuang kept propping his head, sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting until the third watch, when wave after wave of women and maids sent by Long Xiangye came to the gate of the courtyard, knowing that Xiao Shiji had left.He insisted on calling Du Hengshuang to the second room's yard.Of course Du Hengshuang would not go, these people were blocked back by the two big women guarding the courtyard gate.But Xiao Shiji has not come back yet.She was so sleepy that she had to sleep alone.

Because of something on his mind, Du Hengshuang didn't sleep well all night. He tossed and turned on the Qiangongbabu bed like a small house, just like sticking sesame seed cakes, and only took a nap at dawn.

Xiao Shiji didn't return all night, and only came in through the hanging flower gate of the second gate at Chenshi, but saw Long Xiangye's maid He Rui standing by the gate, chatting and laughing with the gatekeeper's wife.

Seeing that Xiao Shiji finally came back, He Rui hurriedly stepped forward to salute, shaking the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "The uncle is back. The old lady knew that the uncle went out last night, so she was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night. It's early this morning. So I ordered the servants to wait for the uncle here. ——The uncle quickly followed the servants to see the old lady, but the old lady was very anxious."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Xiao Shiji said calmly, taking a step back, "Let me go back and wash up before going to see my mother, okay?"

He Rui laughed and said: "The old madam told the slaves to go back and report to the master. Don't embarrass the slaves." Saying this, she bowed to Xiao Shiji again.

Xiao Shiji bowed his head and thought for a while, that's all, anyway, today's test is going to be passed, he has arranged everything, so let's hurry up sooner rather than later, so he told the woman guarding the second gate, "Send someone to My yard told the eldest grandma, and said that I went to see my mother, and I will go back in a while."

The old woman agreed and went to pass the message in person.

Du Hengshuang was freshening up in the room.I didn't sleep well last night, my eyes were full of blue and gray, but the redness and swelling on my face dissipated a lot. ——Zhu Susu's plaster is really good.

Hearing that Xiao Shiji went to Long Xiangye's yard as soon as he came back, Du Hengshuang was extremely disappointed, and went out of his mind silently for a long time, and then told Ou Yangniang and Zhihua, "Yangniang, Zhihua, don't wait, clean up. The suitcase, let the outer courtyard prepare the car, and when the uncle comes back, we will go back to our mother's house."

Ou Yangniang and Zhihua were also very sad, but they also knew that if this kind of thing happened, the uncle would ignore it and simply go out all night without coming back. The Xiao family really couldn't stay any longer.There was such a big conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if he, a man, couldn't resolve it well, Du Hengshuang was doomed.

After three days of marriage, she will go back to live with her mother's parents. Although she has a bad reputation, it is better than dying in the future, so she agreed in a low voice, and went to instruct the little maids to pack up the parcels and daily necessities.

All the servants and women in the courtyard held their breaths and dared not make any noise.

The whole yard was quiet, except for the occasional chirping of birds, which made people even more disturbed.

Xiao Shiji followed He Rui into Long Xiangye's yard, bypassed the screen and the small corridor, and came to the steps of the main house.

The little girl guarding the gate raised the soft silk and bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang to invite Xiao Shiji to go in.

Xiao Shiji paused at the door, the fist in his hand loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, before he crossed the threshold and walked into the upper room.

Long Xiangye was still washing and washing in the back room, when she heard Xiao Shiji coming, she hurriedly said: "Let him in, I waited for him all night, this unfilial son can expect to come back." Such a big event happened yesterday, he dared to leave After all, it is extremely unfilial to not let people go to his yard to summon Du Hengshuang.

The maidservant Mei Xiang who was serving in the back room bypassed the eight huanghuali lady's hairpin screen partitions taller than one person, and came out to salute Xiao Shiji. "uncle."

Xiao Shiji nodded indifferently, and walked to the inner room.

Long Xiangye was sitting upright in the green gauze cupboard placed against the wall, holding a piece of white silk in her hand, her eyes were reddish, as if she had just cried.

Xiao Shiji cupped his hands and saluted, "Mother called my son over, is there something important?"

Long Xiangye pointed at Jin Wu in front of her displeasedly, "Sit down, can't I call you here if I have nothing to do?"

Xiao Shiji hurriedly said: "Don't dare. My son has never stopped morning and evening. My mother said that, my son can't bear it." He just dared to sit sideways.

Long Xiangye was very satisfied, smoothed her face with a silk cloth, and asked, "Where did you go last night? I heard that you didn't go back to your room all night? Well, you are newly married, how can you be like this? Even if your wife..."

Xiao Shiji interrupted Long Xiangye's words. "I had business last night, so I went out temporarily for the whole night, it has nothing to do with Shuang'er."

Long Xiangye lowered her eyes, raised the corners of her eyebrows obliquely, with a look of "you know, I know".

Mei Xiang came in with the bird's nest stewed in water, and said with a smile: "Old lady, it's time to eat bird's nest."

Long Xiangye knocked on the small table in the Bisha cabinet.

Mei Xiang put down the small stew pot and opened the lid.Pour out the tender and tender snow-white bird's nest inside, put a silver spoon on it, and let the longxiang leaves use it slowly.

Long Xiangye picked up the silver spoon, scooped up a mouthful of bird's nest and put it into his mouth to chew slowly.

Xiao Shiji coughed, and glanced at the servant girl in the room.

These maidservants understood, and retreated in twos and threes.

Long Xiangye knew that Xiao Shiji had something to say, so she kept quiet on purpose.Just bow your head and take a silver spoon to stir in the small porcelain bowl.

Xiao Shiji took a deep breath, softened his voice and said, "Mother, can you treat Shuang'er better in the future?"

Long Xiangye didn't expect that Xiao Shiji would dare to intercede with Du Hengshuang, and threw the silver spoon with a slap, and said with a low face, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I treat her badly? Do you still want me to do this?" Can't the mother-in-law confess her?"

Xiao Shiji hurriedly stood up, bowed his head and said: "Mother calm down, I just thought, even if it's not for the sake of my son, even if it's for the sake of my sister who has not left the court, mother should treat Shuang'er better."

"What's the matter with Yanran of my family?" Long Xiangye's thin willow eyebrows raised even higher.

Xiao Shiji laughed and said: "Mother, you don't know something. My son went out on an errand last night. Hearing what happened to our Lifang Cao's family, I was very moved."

"The Cao family? The Cao family that runs a silk shop?" Long Xiangye frowned, "What's wrong with their family?"

"The old lady of the Cao family is moody. She beats and scolds the two daughters-in-law of the Cao family every day. She has a bad reputation. Now the daughter-in-law of the Cao family is fifteen years old and has not yet found her husband's family. Mother knows Why?"

Long Xiangye twitched her lips, thinking to herself, how can that stinky woman from the countryside of the Cao family be compared to herself?That mother-in-law knew how to be reckless, and beat her daughter-in-law to howl like ghosts and howls. She was a good player, and she didn't see anything wrong on the outside, but she suffered a lot on the inside.

Besides, she is not dissatisfied with Shuang'er's daughter-in-law, but she has been angry with Fang Wuniang for so many years, and if she doesn't find a way with Du Hengshuang, her anger will not go well.Which family's daughter-in-law doesn't let her mother-in-law rub her? ——A daughter-in-law who refuses to be rubbed by her mother-in-law has a bad reputation...

"Their family can't get on the stage, do you care if their little lady can get married?" Long Xiangye gave Xiao Shiji a look, and blamed him for talking nonsense.

Xiao Shiji sighed in his heart, and continued: "Because her mother's reputation is too bad, everyone said that there is such a mother, this little lady is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and everyone does not want to marry her family. There is nothing they can do. The family has already planned to hire this little lady to another place."

"What do you mean?" Long Xiangye finally understood Xiao Shiji's implication, and said with a straight face: "You mean that if I beat your wife yesterday, my reputation will be bad? Your sister will not marry Going out?—What kind of nonsense is this! Your sister followed me, and De Rongyan was proficient in everything, she was submissive and obedient, how can you compare your sister with that unruly little lady of the Cao family?"

After finishing speaking, Long Xiangye started to cry again, covered her mouth with a silk cloth, and whimpered: "I really don't know which god I have offended to marry such a poisonous woman! I am sorry for the ancestors of the Xiao family. I'm going to the ancestral hall to cry for the lord!——not only killed the heirs of our Xiao family, but also hurt my reputation, and hindered your sister from finding a good family. I really can't afford to be such a troublemaker! Today Now that I've come to this point, Boss, I really can't take it anymore, you should divorce her!"

Xiao Shi and the veins on his forehead were popping out, but he knelt down straight and said to Long Xiangye: "Mother, I swore before the Buddha that I will only recognize Shuang'er in this life. Unless I die, I will not be separated from her." Yes.—If you want to divorce your wife, it is absolutely impossible."

"You!" Long Xiangye was angry and anxious.He patted Xiao Shiji on the shoulder twice, "Are you going to be so angry that you are a mother? With a single word from her, you will make your second sibling have a miscarriage. With such a woman, you still treat her as a baby?!"

Xiao Shiji stiffened his shoulders and received several slaps from Long Xiangye.Said in a deep voice: "Mother, the matter of the miscarriage of the second younger sibling has nothing to do with Shuang'er. If mother wants to blame, then blame me. It was I who asked the second brother to discipline his daughter-in-law who violated tongue, so the second brother slapped the second brother and sister." Now that I have made a big mistake, I am sorry for the ancestors of the Xiao family. Mom, please open the ancestral hall and get rid of me." She would rather be expelled by the Xiao family than give up on Du Hengshuang.

Long Xiangye stared blankly at Xiao Shiji for a while.Then he sneered and said, "I don't know, but my son is actually a lover!"

Xiao Shiji knelt in front of Long Xiangye, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Shuang'er never abandons his son's poverty, because of righteousness; unwavering determination, because of affection. Such a loving and righteous woman, I want to divorce her, I am Pigs and dogs are not as good as dogs!—Don’t say you’re not worthy of being part of the Xiao family. Even men aren’t worthy!”

Long Xiangye originally guessed that Xiao Shiji would not divorce his wife.She was just newly married and was in the heat of the moment.How could it be possible to divorce his wife because of such a trivial matter? She was just testing it out and playing the side drum.

If Xiao Shiji agrees, of course everyone will be happy.If he doesn't agree, she has someone to wait for.

Seeing Xiao Shiji's reaction, Long Xiangye changed his face, patted Xiao Shiji's face with regret, and said: "Oh, I also know that Shuang'er was the one I grew up with, she That is to say, she is more impatient. If you want to say how bad-hearted she is, that's not necessarily true. I just tried you because I was afraid that you would suffer. ——Get up, child. The palms and backs are all flesh, how can I Don't think about you?"

Xiao Shiji took advantage of the situation to stand up, and still sat down on the brocade tree in front of Long Xiangye.

Seeing that the heat was coming, Long Xiangye showed his trump card, changed the subject, and said, "But your second brother's firstborn son is indeed lost because of your relationship with the first wife. I feel sorry for you, and I also feel sorry for your brother, and That child who died before it was born. How about you each take a step back, since you have lost your brother's eldest son, you can make it up to them, don't you think?" After finishing speaking, he stared at Xiao Shiji closely, See how he answers.

Xiao Shiji lowered his eyes, put his hands on his knees, and sat there, standing still and standing upright, half a body taller than Long Xiangye, "How do you want to make it up?"

A smile appeared on Long Xiangye's face, he clapped his hands, and said: "How about this, you give half of our Xiao family's wealth to your second brother, and I won't pursue it anymore, and I will treat your daughter-in-law as well as my own daughter." What do you think of her?" She intentionally bit the word "Xiao family" heavily, showing that she was talking about the common property of the Xiao family, not the family property earned by the eldest son himself.

Xiao Shiji raised his eyes, glanced at Long Xiangye, and asked with a smile: "Mother really wants to distribute the Xiao family's common property to the second brother?"

Long Xiangye thought that Xiao Shiji agreed, she was very proud, nodded and said: "Of course, I have always been a person with a flat bowl of water." After speaking, she wanted to order someone to call Xiao Taiji over.

Xiao Shiji raised his hand to stop him, and said slowly: "Mother, you should know that the family property left by father has long been gone, right?"

"Isn't it? Aren't your current shops all left by your father?" Long Xiangye pretended not to know, trying to get along with her.Anyway, Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang had a bad time this time, so if they didn't make good use of this opportunity, after passing this village, there would be no such shop.

Xiao Shiji chuckled, "Mother forgets. Mother lost all the property left by father back then. Before meeting Prince Yi, the money for our family's life was all given by Shuang'er and his family." Xiao Shiji stood up, folded his hands and said leisurely: "Tell me the truth, our Xiao family's shared property is only a stack of IOUs. Later, I earned money by myself and wanted to return it to the Du family, but Aunt Fang insisted on not accepting it. Now that my mother took the initiative to ask the second brother to share half of it, I feel a little sorry.——How about this, I am the eldest brother, and I will suffer a little bit, just let him pay back [-]% of the debt, not half. The remaining [-]% is for me Pay it back alone."

Long Xiangye was so angry that her back molars clenched, she pointed at Xiao Shiji, her eyes popped out with hatred, she couldn't choose what to say, and said all the things she shouldn't have said, "You understand You know what I'm talking about, and you still play sloppy with me. Are you deliberately against me? I warn you, if you disobey me again, I will go to the Yamen to sue you for being unfilial! Spread your reputation for being unfilial, Yijun The king won't trust you anymore, your future is ruined, and you won't be able to become an official! ——You pretend I don't know, you are a person who wants to work hard to climb up, how can you not care about your reputation?!"

Xiao Shiji also turned cold, looked around, saw that the servants were hiding far away, snorted, and said heavily: "Mother, do you know what I am doing outside? "

"Eh?" Long Xiangye was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Xiao Shiji asked such a question, and said in a daze, "Aren't you a subordinate official of the palace? Sixth-rank Xiao cavalry captain?"

Xiao Shiji laughed loudly, then put away his smile, raised his hands and said solemnly: "I have a nickname in Taoism, and people call it 'Xiao Yan Wang'.--Mother, you have to count it. For eight years, I have stained my hands. How many lives?"
