The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 176: Xinna's Concubine (2)
There must always be a beginning and an end in doing things, and the same is true for a scholar who pretends to be lame. He can't just walk like flying after leaving the county government, right?
Su Xiazhi jumped out of the car first, and carefully helped her husband get out of the car. Outsiders looked like a virtuous wife, but at this moment, the "virtuous wife" was whispering: "Slow down, yes, slow down ...be careful with the child in your womb!"

The two men inside and outside the car twitched the corners of their lips at the same time, the one in the car had already laughed softly at this moment, Xiucai could only force himself to maintain a paralyzed expression, and said in his heart: I praise her for being a concubine. Well said, she is afraid that she will take revenge on me for a few days... Sigh!

Standing under the eaves of Dianzang Shutang, Min Lansheng signaled Su Xiazhi to stop, and only called out to Mr. Xiucai who was sitting at the table holding a book and gesticulating.

"I said you two, what are you doing standing outside the door, come in!" Mr. Xiucai put down the book in his hand, and waved to their husband and wife: "Lan Sheng, come and take a look, I just got a chess record, wonderful Very good!"

"Mr. Xiucai, there is a gentleman in the carriage asking you to go over and talk." Su Xiazhi turned back and pointed at the carriage.

"Oh?" Mr. Xiucai looked intently at the carriage and then at Min Lansheng, but he stood up and walked towards the carriage.

When he arrived in front of the carriage, he stretched out his hand and lifted the hanging curtain to look inside, his expression immediately changed, and he got into the carriage almost without hesitation...

"Let's walk around. They still have something to talk about." Xiucai took the lady's little hand and walked a few steps before stopping. He picked up Su Xiazhi's palm, looked at the palm and the back of the hand, and then said softly: "It's really hard for you..."

Su Xiazhi always pretended to be a fool when she was in her natal family. She would do the housework whenever she wanted, and would just sit around if she didn't want to. Anyway, no one in the Su family could do anything about her.

After marrying a scholar, she couldn't be more lazy. She took care of the house and outside the house alone, so the skin on the back of her slender and beautiful hands was a little rough, and Min Lansheng felt very distressed when she saw it.

Su Xiazhi didn't care much about the small matter of rough skin.There are so many chores at home, which one can be done without hands?No matter how well-maintained you are, doing housework often is useless!

After leaving the alley of Dianzangshutang, Min Lansheng kept looking at the shops on both sides. When he came to a shop selling rouge and gouache, he dragged Su Xiazhi into it.

There were only two female customers in the shop, and they were very casual. At this moment, one of them was sitting at the table, and the other was standing behind the sitting woman.

"What are you doing here? I usually don't like to put on makeup." As soon as I entered the door, I could smell the intoxicating smell of all kinds of strong fragrances mixed together, Su Xiazhi stood at the door and did not leave.

"My lord, what do you want to buy?" Seeing a customer coming to the door, the clerk of the shop immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Balsam, just a mild flavor." Min Lansheng said lightly.

"No need..." It turned out to be buying hand oil for her. Su Xiazhi was overjoyed. First, she felt that the scholar cared about her carefully, and then she thought of the money bag at home that had been deflated. She dragged him and wanted to leave... …

"Lan Sheng?" The woman who was sitting with her head lowered to choose rouge and gouache had turned her head and looked at the scholar in surprise and said, "Why did you come to such a place?"

All the things sold here are women's things. Except for the shop assistants, there are few men who enter here, and a person like Min Lansheng who is as cold as Zhilan Yushu will not step into this kind of place, so she finds it incredible.

Ping County is indeed a small place!Su Xiazhi was annoyed when she saw the woman who looked at her husband's good eyes. She wanted to go out, but now she took a few steps inside, stood in front of the scholar and said, "It's Miss An, my husband is here to accompany me. here."

"So you're here too." An Jing stood up prettyly, holding the arm of the little girl beside her, walked lightly to the front of his husband and wife and saluted gracefully: "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

When people came to salute, Su Xiazhi couldn't stand still like a pillar, so she cupped her fists at An Jing and said manlyly: "Miss An, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Puchi!" The little maid, who was supporting the quiet, laughed out loud first, and she just smiled as she looked at Su Xiazhi who was clearly a woman but imitated a man's salute.

"Xiao Xia!" An Jing scolded her maid in a low voice, because she spoke softly and slowly, so even when she scolded, she was weak.

The maid who was called Xiao Xia immediately stopped laughing, and stood beside her master in an orderly manner, not daring to do it again.

"I'm really sorry!" An Jing saluted Su Xiazhi again: "Xiao Xia is a girl who just bought it not long ago, she is not sensible, so don't worry about it."

"You just bought it?" Su Xiazhi asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I just entered the mansion at the beginning of this month." An Jing replied politely, with frank eyes.

"Oh, new here, no wonder..." Su Xiazhi nodded, took the balm from the man, sniffed it casually, and asked, "How much?"

The man reported the price of the balm, Su Xiazhi felt a little twitched in his heart, but he still took the balm in the porcelain box and paid for it, then pulled Xiucai away: "Xiucai, let's go, I haven't bought it for Jingjing yet." Where are the bones..."

The corners of Min Lansheng's lips trembled unconsciously, he nodded to Jing Jing and followed the lady out.

"Jing Jing?" Jing Jing repeated the name in a low voice, thinking: Could it be that there are relatives in her family who have the same name as mine?
"Quiet, that's the nickname of my pet dog. I've only had it for a short time. I'm not sensible. I'm sloppy. I'm always blind..." Su Xiazhi, who was walking in front, said lightly.

"Miss!" The lively and clever little maid was pinched into the flesh by Jing Jing's sharply tightened fingertips, and she exhaled in pain.

"Let the carriage come over, I'm tired." An Jing let go of the jade hand that was holding her arm, still smiling slightly on her face.

"Yes!" The little girl's arm hurt so badly that she didn't dare to rub it, so she could only go out aggrievedly and call for the carriage parked not far away.

"Hypocrisy! She doesn't like me obviously, but she still pretends to be very close, isn't it tiring!" Meeting Xiao Qingmei again, Su Xiazhi felt disgusted as if she had stepped on shit.She wasn't idle either.
