Traveling through ancient times and marrying a ruffian

Chapter 33

Shen Mumu didn't know how long she slept, but was woken up by the man beside her.Opening her eyes in a daze, she heard voices outside, she didn't react, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's the matter, is there anyone outside?"

"Hu Tuhu's family has brought mooncakes." The man answered, throwing off the quilt and getting up to get dressed.The man's recovery ability is very good. In the past few days, he can already get out of bed and take two simple steps.Too much, Shen Mumu is not allowed.

Seeing that he wanted to get up, Shen Mumu didn't stop him.When guests come to the house, the host will always go out to say hello.She got up quickly, combed his hair with her hands, and helped him get dressed.

The two of them were in a hurry when Xiao Yuan's voice calling the door could be heard clearly, "Sister, brother-in-law, Da Zhuang and the others are here." Shen Mumu originally wanted to dress the man and change himself, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up Yes, it's impolite to make guests wait.He smoothed out the wrinkles on the clothes with his hands, and felt that he could meet people a little bit, so he followed Xie Yu out.

Butcher Hu has already entered the house, and there are voices in the house, which should be accompanied by Mother Xie.Mrs. Hu accompanied Da Zhuang and Xiao Yuan, and the three stood in the yard, feeding the rabbits.

"Sister-in-law is here?" Xie Yu met Hu's sister-in-law and greeted her.

"Well, here we come." Mrs. Hu seemed a little confused, and replied mechanically, then looked at Shen Mumu awkwardly.

The last time I sent the rabbit over, Mrs. Hu didn't see Xie Yu until she entered the house.It seemed that the two met for the first time.Shen Mumu thinks it's funny, Mrs. Hu also has times of embarrassment.Still stepped forward to make a rescue, and said to Xie Yu: "Brother Hu is in the house, you go and stay with me, sister-in-law, let me greet you." Xie Yu looked into her smiling eyes, nodded, and went in.

"Sister-in-law, wait for a long time, go sit in the room first. I'll go to the kitchen to make a pot of tea, and I'll be here in a while." Xie Yu went to greet people in the room, so he couldn't talk.Gotta have some tea and something to eat.

"Hey, my eldest sister, it's not like some nobleman came here to make some tea. The man in my family is very easy to support. It's like bringing him boiled water." As soon as Xie Yu left, Mrs. Hu broke the seal. , speak more neatly.

"Yes, it doesn't take much effort to make a pot of tea." Shen Mumu pursed his lips and smiled, and still turned his head to tell his younger brother, "Xiao Yuan, you play with the tiger." Both children agreed.

"That's fine, I won't join in the fun when the men are talking, I'll accompany you." Saying that, Mrs. Hu followed into the kitchen.

Mrs. Hu was a little afraid of Xie Yu, even though Xie Yu was much younger than her, he had never done anything to her.Xie Yu's face was hostile and unsmiling, and with so many legends about him in the town, most women and children in the town who knew his name were a little afraid of him.If it weren't for meeting such a delicate and soft daughter-in-law in his family, and a brother-in-law who loves to read.Seeing Xie Yu on the road, Mrs. Hu wanted to stay far away, so she was not easy to mess with.

The two children fed the rabbit grass and went to the room to play.Da Zhuang likes Xiaoyuan's room very much, because Xiaoyuan's room is tidy and clean, and there is a smell of ink when he comes in.Da Zhuang himself doesn't like reading, but he likes to smell the scent of ink.Another reason is that children of the same age love to imitate and follow suit.What his companion has, he also wants to have.What his partner does, he does as well.Da Zhuang still sleeps with his parents so far, and he thinks Xiao Yuan sleeping alone like this is simply amazing.

The first time he found out that Xiao Yuan slept in a room alone, he thought it was incredible.In his perception, children sleep with their parents, but Xiao Yuan despises them: "Little kids only sleep with their parents. I slept by myself when I was three years old." Xiao Yuan naturally didn't say anything. When he was sleeping by himself at the age of three, there was a nanny and maid by his side.

Da Zhuang was taken aback when he heard this, and when he got back, he asked his mother to clean up a room for him as well, and he wanted to live alone.Ignored, chased after demands, and was caught and slapped by Mrs. Hu.Still unwilling to give up, he made all kinds of soft and hard things, and repeatedly promised that he could clean it by himself. At least he got his mother to promise that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would clean up a house for him to live in.He came here today to take a closer look at how Xiaoyuan's room is furnished, and he will arrange it exactly the same later.

"It's a newlywed after all, it's different, tsk tsk." As soon as she entered the kitchen, Mrs. Hu began to wink at Shen Mumu, looking at her obviously wrinkled clothes with meaning in her words.He almost didn't ask what she and Xie Yu were doing shut up in the house in broad daylight.

"What is sister-in-law thinking, I just went to take a lunch break." Shen Mumu knew what sister-in-law Hu was referring to at a glance, and quickly explained.It is said that women in ancient times were conservative, that is to say, they were in front of outsiders and men.When the women are alone, they can say everything without ambiguity.Especially those who have given birth to children have no taboos.Hu's sister-in-law teased her like this, she must have noticed something abnormal when the two of them went out, and then diverted their thinking and made up for it.I didn't say anything in the yard just now because the child was there.

"Okay, you, you don't need to explain. My sister-in-law is from here, so I don't understand anything. My sister-in-law saw it. When Xiaoyuan called for someone, she called at the door. How could anyone lock the door while taking a nap?" "In a normal family, whoever is a couple can't come out in the afternoon after closing the door, Mrs. Hu seemed to know it.

Shen Mumu complained, the two were in the house, the door was really unlocked.Xiaoyuan was taught since he was a child not to enter other people's rooms without the owner's permission.Not to mention that the door was not locked, it was just closed, even if the door was open, he would not poke his head inside until he got permission from the owner.But it's not easy to say this to Mrs. Hu.

"It's lunch break!" Shen Mumu stamped her feet anxiously.

"That's right, it's lunch break or lunch break, sister-in-law believes you." As sister-in-law Hu said this, the expression on her face did not mean that.Shen Mumu knew that she had decided that the two of them locked in the house were just doing shameful things.Shen Mumu is helpless, but she doesn't intend to explain it anymore, after all, there is an explanation called: the more you paint, the darker it gets.

The two women made tea and fried a plate of peanuts, and served them together.When I went in, Mother Xie was not there, so I should have gone back to rest.The two men were chatting about hunting in winter, and you chatted happily.After chatting for a while, Hu Tuhu rounded up his words, saying that the couple came here to see Xie's mother. The neighbors haven't come over for so many years. It's their fault for being juniors, Barabara.They clearly stated the purpose of their visit. As neighbors, I hope that the two families will visit each other more in the future so that the children can play happily together.

Xie Yu also knew in his heart that this butcher Hu and his family had been neighbors for so long, and he didn't see each other. Now he came to visit suddenly. It was thanks to his wife and brother-in-law.But he has been in the market since he was a child, and he is good at observing people's words and attitudes. What he often does is talking about people and talking nonsense when he sees people.It's one thing to think in my heart, but I said with a smile on my face: the two families may have been one family 800 years ago, and they will often visit each other in the future.

Shen Mumu listened to it with relish.Hey, the TV dramas watched in modern times portray the butcher as a simple and honest person who is not good at speech.This Hu butcher is not good, he can speak well, he is not only a good chatterer, but also a very good person in dealing with people.

After all, it is not familiar enough, even if there is a common topic, there is a time when the chat is over.Earlier, when Shen Mumu hadn't entered the door, Xie Yu never greeted him when he saw him.Hu Tuhu's surname was Hu, but he was not confused at all. He grasped the rhythm of the conversation, expressed his family's intentions for coming, and then bid farewell.

Xie Yu stood up like no one else, and wanted to send someone off.Shen Mumu originally intended to let Xie Yu sit down and go out to see him off by himself, seeing Xie Yu standing up, he coughed a little.In the end, Xie Yu didn't look back, but Mrs. Hu asked her earnestly if she had caught the cold, Shen Mumulian said no.Swallowing the words to let the man sit, and to deliver the words by himself, Worried and Mrs. Hu followed behind the two men.

The two families were saying goodbye at the door, and five or six yamen servants came outside, surrounding the door of Xie's house.

"Quick, hurry up, and surround this place." A group of people surrounded the gate noisyly.Shen Wenyuan was originally standing with Da Zhuang, but when he saw that the visitor was not friendly, he took a big step forward and stood in front of his sister, his fists clenched tightly.Shen Mumu pulled him over with one hand, and whispered something in his ear.The young boy pursed his lips and refused. "Go quickly, sister won't call you, don't come out, don't worry about sister, sister has your brother-in-law here, it's okay." The young boy still didn't speak, looked at his brother-in-law, saw Xie Yu nodding, and then ran to Xie's mother s room.

Hu's sister-in-law also made herself strong and stood at the back.Hu Tuhu's family originally wanted to say goodbye, so they stood far away. When the yamen servant came, the family not only did not hide away, but also stood beside Xie's family.The current situation is that the yamen servants have surrounded Xie's house.Xie Yu stood in front, Hu Tuhu and Shen Mumu were half a step behind him, and Hu's sister-in-law was behind him protecting Da Zhuang.

"Thank you, Manager, please come with us." This group of yamen servants was also funny, a group of people who were bluffing came and surrounded other people's houses, but no one came out to speak.After a while, a middle-aged man with a goatee came out and said this politely.Although Chashu Town is a town, it is actually not far from the county seat, only half an hour's walk away.Xie Yu's Yongli Square has a good reputation, and there are many people coming and going. These yamen servants have free time, and two or three people will come here to gamble by appointment.Therefore, it is not surprising that they know Xie Yu.However, their politeness to Xie Yu was somewhat elusive.

Shen Mumu thought about things that he couldn't understand, but Xie Yu knew it clearly.Yamen servants have no official status at all, they are just non-staff personnel serving the yamen.The yamen servants in this era were inherited from father to son, and some were temporarily mobilized and remained as civilians afterwards.These people are used to bullying others, but they also have a lot of eyes. They can see the politeness of the county magistrate to Xie Yu on weekdays.Even if something happened now, the magistrate did not show any intention of punishing him.The imperial envoy has a high official position, no one knows how many days he can stay in this tea tree town.At that time, if Xie Yu can't do it, others will pat their ass and leave, and Xie Yu will still rub the rest of them.Taking a step back, most of them still owed money to Wynn, so naturally they dare not be tough on their creditors.

"My lord, is there some misunderstanding?" It was Hu Tuhu standing next to Xie Yu who spoke.Hu Tuhu is 1.9 meters tall, much stronger than Xie Yu.As soon as he spoke, his voice was very intimidating, and he probably knew this himself, so he spoke before Xie Yu, the person involved.

"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding. The superior just wants Manager Xie to come over." Compared to being polite to Xie Yu, the yamen servant was arrogant towards Hu Tuhu.Hu Tuhu's size advantage didn't play a role.

"The superior wants me to go? Do you want me to go by name?" Xie Yu asked without changing his expression, as if it wasn't his house that was surrounded.

"Oh, yes, it's the superior who asked Manager Xie to come by name." As soon as Xie Yu spoke, the tone of the goatee softened obviously, and his attitude was very strange.In fact, this group of yamen servants and this siege are a bit strange.As soon as they came, they yelled and surrounded them with bravado. After they were really surrounded, no one spoke for a long time, as if no one dared to speak up.Taking a closer look, it's not so strange, the one who was caught had a frank face.Those who arrested people were timid, but a little afraid to look at them.

"Is the magistrate wanting to see me?" Xie Yu asked, frowning.The goatee who was questioned by Xie Yu said with a bitter face: "It's not the magistrate, it's the imperial envoy from above who wants to see Guanshi Xie."

"The imperial envoy who came from above didn't know me, why did he want to see me as soon as he came?" Xie Yu continued to ask.

"This... I don't know about this either." Goatee hesitated, probably knowing something.

"Then what do you know? Tell me everything you know."

"It seems... It seems that someone reported you for selling illegal salt, so you were asked to go there." The goatee said the reason as if he had made a lot of determination.

"Smuggling salt? What does smuggling salt have to do with my master? I don't know how many people in this area are ten miles away who are worried about my master's well-being. If you come to someone to report on your master, the yamen will come to invite someone. Doesn't the lord go to the yamen every day? Who is I Xie Yu, doesn’t the county magistrate know?” Xie Yu frowned and asked.Shen Mumu has been paying attention to him all the time, seeing that he curled up his little finger unconsciously, she quickly steps forward and grabs his hand. As soon as her hand slipped into his palm, she was squeezed tightly, and then let go.

"Oh, the county magistrate knows, why don't you know, it's just that a group of illegal salt sellers have been too public recently, and the imperial envoy sent by the top is to investigate this case. The imperial envoy called you by name, and the county magistrate can't help it. .” Goatee started to say like complaining. "At first, no one suspected you. This morning, someone filed a complaint in front of the imperial envoy. The county magistrate also spoke for you, but the man said that no suspicious person should be let go. The county magistrate then sent The brothers came down to take you for a walk." After the goatee finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "Thank you in charge, did you offend someone? This is a big festival to report you."

Someone sue?The first thing that flashed through Shen Mumu's mind was Jin Jinyu, and then Shen Hao.

"Why don't I go with my brother, the clean will clear itself, can the white one be blacked out for us?" Hu Tuhu said suddenly.He thought, Xie Yu is innocent, just go there and get rid of the suspicion.Even if Xie Yuzhen did something that the government cannot tolerate, judging from the current attitude of the government servants, nothing will happen.Going early and returning early, Xie Yu can still go home to have a reunion dinner and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival safely.Now it's like this, stalemate, it's actually useless.

Shen Mumu watched for a long time, and vaguely knew that the yamen servant had some scruples about Xie Yu.But this girl has watched too many TV dramas in modern times. As soon as she heard that she was going to the Yamen, the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty, tiger bench, pepper water... all kinds of ways to torture were dangling in her mind.Shen Mumu took Xie Yu's hand and slowly exerted force, waiting for Xie Yu to look at her, then shook his head at him.

"Thank you Brother Hu for your kindness, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Xie doesn't plan to go to other places." Xie Yu didn't know if he understood Shen Mumu's meaning, and thanked Hu Tuhu for his help. Then he turned his head to look at the goatee and said: "Wang Da, take people back, I won't go with you today, whether it's the county magistrate or the imperial envoy, if they want to ask questions, let them come and see you." Lord."

"Xie Lao San, don't be ashamed, who do you think you are? A small Wynn Square manager dares to ask the imperial envoy and the county magistrate to visit you." The one who spoke was a man standing next to the goatee. youth.The young man seemed a little excited, and without waiting for the goatee to stop him, he said again: "If you don't eat this toast, you will be fined with a bar. Brothers, do it."

"I see who dares to touch my brother today." Xu Lei came out of nowhere, hula la brought a group of people, and surrounded several yamen servants.There were only six yamen servants in total, and he brought more than a dozen people, all of whom were strong men. When he stood there, he was overwhelmed by his aura. Even more honest.

Xu Lei asked the remaining people to be watched, and he rushed over quickly, kicked the young man down from behind, and stomped on the man's back twice as if he was still angry.The young man didn't get up for a long time.

The young man didn't know where his confidence came from, he let out a loud howl, and there was no expected response, the rest of the people were hesitant looking at the face of the goatee, and he was the only one who rushed up to grab Xie Yu.Therefore, he was the only one who was beaten.

The goatee waited for Xu Lei to vent enough before pleading: "Mr. Xu, for my sake, let's go around him." Looking at the young man's poor appearance, he felt happy.This kid thought he had hugged his thigh after passing tea to the imperial envoy a few times?Bah, I didn't even look at what was going on, I just rushed to show off.How young!After returning to the capital, how could the imperial envoy recognize him?

Xu Lei stopped his hands and turned to look at Xie Yu, "Third brother, sister-in-law, are you all right?" After getting a satisfactory answer, he raised a smiling face and returned to the goatee: "Of course I gave Wang Da face, but , I haven't seen you for a few days, and your ability to lead people will be weak. Could it be that you are old, and you can't control just a few people?"

Before Wang Da could say anything, there was a sound of horseshoes outside.Listening to the sound and seeing the dust raised, one would mistake it for a big battle.It was only when people got closer that they realized that there were only eleven people in this team, including the leader.

The people on horseback are all strong men with a strong aura. They should be the people who came down from the battlefield, especially the first person in the lead.After the leader reined in his horse, he frowned, and glanced around in displeasure, "What are you all doing here?" Perhaps the aura was too strong, and the brothers on the periphery automatically moved out of the way for him.

Seeing who the person outside was, Xie Yu called out: "Brother." Walking outside, Shen Mumu quickly followed.

The man responded heavily, and did not dismount. He rode his horse and stopped in front of Xie Yu, his brows not stretched, "Third brother, tell me, what are you doing?"

"The people in the county government suspect that the third brother is selling illegal salt, and they are going to arrest him for interrogation." Before Xie Yu could speak, Xu Lei finished speaking quickly.

"Is that so?" The man turned his head to look at the goatee who was obviously the leader.

The goatee is also clever. In the situation where the enemy and the enemy were one-sided, he did not answer directly, but looked sloppy, "There must be some misunderstanding, brothers are here to arrest people, or please Xie Sanye to go to the yamen to find out Condition."

"Go back, if there is any misunderstanding, ask the magistrate to come over and talk to me, General Weiyuan." Goatee looked like a little guy, so he naturally wouldn't waste his time talking with him.

The person whom Xie Yu called the big brother casually uttered the big news, but he didn't take it seriously, and the poor listeners were all shocked.Goatee was shocked but thankful that when he saw him for the first time, he felt that this person was not easy to provoke, so he didn't try to provoke him.Be good, I didn't expect him to meet General Weiyuan, so I didn't dare to say a word, so I took him away in a hurry.That fell on the ground, I don't know if it was really impossible to get up, or the young man who was about to touch the porcelain saw that everyone was leaving, no one cared about him, and walked away by himself.

When the troublemaker left, that person dismounted, and the rider behind him also dismounted immediately, very well-trained.The man scanned Xu Lei and his group, and said to Xie Yu, "Take me to see my mother."

Xie Yu agreed, but didn't leave, and turned to look at his wife first.Shen Mumu said to his heart, "It's okay, you can go, I will arrange the rest." Xie Yu nodded and went into the house.

"Sister-in-law, third brother, is he okay?" As soon as they left, Xu Lei leaned over and looked at Xie Yu's legs meaningfully.Slightly lowered his voice and asked Shen Mumu.

"Don't worry, it's okay, why are you here?"

"Someone in the casino saw Wang Da bringing people here. The brothers were afraid that the third brother would suffer, so they came to have a look." After the person left, Xu Lei relaxed a little to make sure that the third brother was fine.

"It's just in time. Thanks to you bringing someone here today, otherwise, with your third brother's temperament, I don't know what happened. Today, people are coming at home, so I can't be busy. You take the brothers back first, and wait later The third brother is free, let him treat the brothers to a drink." Although Xu Lei's way of handling things was a bit extreme, it was because she cared about Xie Yu's brother, and she accepted their affection.

"Oh, what a big deal." Xu Lei waved his hand indifferently, "That's fine, sister-in-law, I'll take my brothers back first. If there is anything else, sister-in-law can just ask Xiaoyuan to speak, brother You are all here." After finishing speaking, Xu Lei puffed out his chest, raised his head and greeted his brothers to go back.He loves the poor and is impulsive in his actions, so he hasn't received any good words from his third brother.The little sister-in-law said something politely, affirming his actions and winning the love of the brothers.It made him very proud, he didn't care, the brothers who came here would feel better after hearing this.

Shen Mumu saw that people left, and thanked the Hu family solemnly, and asked them to go back first.

"Where is it, if I call you sister, can I leave your family alone?" Mrs. Hu looked at the group of people standing next to her, then looked up at Butcher Hu's face, and offered to stay and help. "Sister, you see that there are quite a lot of people here, and you can't greet me alone. Or, sister-in-law stays to help greet you?"

"No need, there is nothing else to do. Today is the holiday, and sister-in-law's family is busy with a lot of things. Go, I can handle it. No matter how bad it is, Xiaoyuan will help me." Shen Mumu didn't let Hu The sister-in-law stayed to help, and if she worked harder alone, she was always busy.People are kind enough to help, but you can't beat the snake to the pole.It was okay in the past, but not today, let Mrs. Hu have a good holiday.

After seeing off Mrs. Hu's family, Shen Mumu asked them to tie their horses outside the wall and invite everyone to enter the house.I don't know how long a few people drove, and a layer of dust fell on their faces and bodies.Shen Mumu asked Xiaoyuan to help carry the bench, and brought them the extra washbasin and handkerchief at home. "Everyone wipe your face first, it will be better."

"Go madam, you guys are used to being rude, so you don't need to say hello." The older man came out and took the washbasin and handkerchief. He was considered older, but he looked about 30 years old. Arrived.

Shen Mumu glanced at these soldiers, and when he looked closely, they were all young.There are several eighteen or nineteen-year-olds inside, probably around the same age, seeing Shen Mumu looking over, their eyes flickered, and they dare not look at Shen Mumu.Shen Mumu thought it was funny, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Okay, I'll cook first, if you need anything, just shout."

Shen Mumu went back to the kitchen, men and women could not kiss each other, even in broad daylight, in the open yard, she couldn't stay with a group of men for too long.She actually wanted to wait and see if Xie Yu would come out and ask for anything, so she could be sure about cooking.The person who came here claimed to be a general in front of so many people, so he should be a general, and he didn't know what the general should pay attention to when eating.However, the man went in for a long time, but there was no movement.Seeing that it was getting late, we couldn't wait forever.Forget it, it doesn't matter what grade it is or not, just do it according to the head.

Thinking of something, Shen Mumu called his younger brother, "Xiao Yuan, go and ask the uncles outside if they want to drink water, if you want to drink, go and carry the water from the kettle in the house to them to drink." Xiao Yuan came from the house After coming out, I followed my sister all the time.

After a while, Xiao Yuan ran back, went straight to get the water ladle, and went out.

"Xiao Yuan, what are you doing out with the ladle?" Shen Mumu stopped him.

"Uncles must drink water."

"Well, you go, run slowly." Shen Mumu didn't say anything like asking them to drink boiled water. She knew how big the kettle at home was, and it wasn't enough for two people to drink, so why not Do not lift.For thirsty people, there is nothing like cool water to quench their thirst.There is no pollution in this well water, so it doesn't matter if you drink it.Xie Yu often went home and drank water as soon as he fetched it.She read it several times before she could change it.

As soon as Shen Mumu finished steaming the rice, Aunt Wu came. Hearing Xiaoyuan said that there were guests in the house, she didn't enter the house, and went straight to the kitchen to find Shen Mumu.

"What's the matter? There are so many people here? When I came in, I saw a row of horses outside the door, and I felt puzzled. Come in and take a look, good guy, the yard is full of strong young men, what are you doing here? Is there someone?" Aunt Wu heard that Shen Mumu wanted to prepare meals for more than a dozen people by herself, so she stayed to help, and at this moment, she was cutting vegetables while asking Shen Mumu.

"I don't know what's going on. Someone came to the house. The people in the yard were brought by him. My husband called him big brother." Shen Mumu really didn't know much about Xie Yu's family composition. Well, Xie Yu himself never told her about it, and Mrs. Hu and the others kept it secret.Today, such a relative who is a general came here, and she was quite confused.

"Brother? Could it be that Boy Wei is back?" Aunt Wu only knew one thing, "Huiniang said that Boy Wei is promising, could it be true?" She's about the same age and calls her by her first name.

"Boy Wei?" Shen Mumu was puzzled.

"Oh, my silly big girl, you can't call me that." Aunt Wu patted Shen Mumu's arm, and continued: "If it's really Boy Wei, then you have to call him Big Brother."

Seeing that Shen Mumu still looked at her incomprehensibly, she explained again: "Your mother-in-law remarried with Wei Xiaozi, and the third son was not born by Hui Niang." , said with emotion, "Boy Wei hasn't heard from him for many years. People outside are saying that he doesn't know where he died. Hui Niang always said that Boy Wei is promising. Suffering from hysteria, now it seems that Wei Xiaozi has a connection with his mother..."

Later, what Aunt Wu said, Shen Mumu didn't pay attention.Wasn't Xie Yu born to Xie's mother? !Mother Xie is Xie Yu's stepmother? !
A lot of things, when you are in it, you don't feel it.Later, when a certain truth emerges, the details you have forgotten will be connected one by one to corroborate this truth.

After being married for so many days, the number of times Xie Yu called "Mother" can be counted on one hand.Mother Xie cared about Xie Yu, she cared very much, but she would not ramble on about her son like ordinary mothers and sons.When he never got angry, he never scolded Xie Yu.It is also 1 indulgences for her daughter-in-law...

And what about Xie Yu?He is filial and respectful to Xie's mother.But when it comes to close attachment to mother, there is absolutely no such thing.

Shen Mumu still digested this fact, felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to see Xie Yu.With this in mind, Xie Yu came into the kitchen, and the first sentence was to ask: "Is the food ready?"

Without waiting for Shen Mumu to answer, Aunt Wu asked first, "San'er, is Brat Wei back?"

Xie Yu replied yes, and turned to look at his daughter-in-law.She raised her eyebrows, why did she look a little depressed, could it be that she was really tired?Just as he was about to ask, the daughter-in-law started arranging the meal, "Okay, you're here, it's just right, you should take the meal out first, it's heavy, we can't lift it."

"Can't lift it, can't you call someone?" Xie Yu believed that his daughter-in-law was tired, so he couldn't help but scold her.He called the two soldiers who were feeding the horses outside to come and carry the food.

Shen Mumu didn't speak, took the bowl and chopsticks and went out.

If there is no room in the house, the soldiers are asked to eat outside, while Shen Mumu and the others eat inside.

During the dinner, Mother Xie's eyes were red, she must have cried.Aunt Wu teased her to talk, and from time to time recalled what happened back then.Shen Mumu listened carefully, at least she knew the general situation.

Holding the bowl, he looked secretly out of the corner of his eyes at the elder brother who was said to have not been back for many years.Saw him eating one after another, bowl after bowl, and felt that his worry before cooking was for nothing, this soldier was very easy to feed.

"Today, it's thanks to boy Wei who came back in time." During the question and answer between Aunt Wu and the general, she knew that there was a yamen servant coming in the afternoon to arrest Xie Yu, and she said this with emotion.

"Third brother, have you provoked anyone? If my brother hadn't arrived in time for today's matter, I'll see how you finish it." The general took Aunt Wu's words.Hearing this, Shen Mumu frowned invisibly, no one spoke like this, so he raised himself up.As if saying such a sentence was not enough, he continued to reprimand: "Let's see who are the people who came to help you today?"

"Those are brothers from the workshop. They thought I was in trouble, so they came to take a look." Xie Yu didn't argue with him, and replied in a good voice.

"What's the future of the manager of this casino? Listen to me, pack up your things, and go to the capital with me. I'll find you a good job to do, it's better than being a casino manager and waiting for death. Now the government allows Gambling shop, wait until the day it is not allowed, let me see what you do."

"Then what can we do, let's find another errand." Xie Yu answered nonchalantly, pawing at the rice.

The two brothers came and went, gradually taking on the smell of gunpowder.Mother Xie opened her mouth to speak several times, but failed to get in.

"You! Well, let me meddle in my own business, and you can do whatever you want."

The general didn't know if it was because of the general's straightforward speech, Shen Mumu listened to him, feeling very uncomfortable.No matter how unbelievable Xie Yu is, he is also her husband-in-law, someone she is willing to coax.This big brother who appeared halfway, scolded him like his son, Shen Mumu was naturally not happy.

At night, the lights are turned off, and the husband and wife lie side by side.

"You know everything, don't you?" After a long time, a man's clear voice came from the darkness, and no emotion could be heard.

"Probably know." Shen Mumu replied honestly, she really only knew a little bit, or Aunt Wu said a little bit today, plus her own guess.

"Do you want to go back to the capital?" Xie Yu seemed unwilling to mention the past, and asked Shen Mumu.

"I don't want to." Shen Mumu replied without hesitation, got into Xie Yu's quilt, rested his head on his chest, and listened to his strong heartbeat.

"Okay." A one-word response, the damp heat from his forehead told Shen Mumu that the man kissed her.

"When we met for the first time, he didn't even give you a gift."

"No, I'm not a new daughter-in-law, what kind of gift do you want?"

"I didn't talk to you either."

"We don't know each other. Besides, he's trying to avoid suspicion."

"Heh~ stupid!" The man sneered. "Since ancient times, civil and military discord, he knows that you are the daughter of a literati, or the daughter of a down-and-out literati, and he doesn't like you." Wei Chenghong didn't think about it. It was his father back then. A literati gave him all his savings and asked him to make money. He was able to have time to become a general.

"The Hu family is worthy of deep friendship." There was no sound for a long time, Shen Mumu thought he had gone to bed early, and Xie Yu suddenly said this.

"Well, go to sleep."
