Chapter 110: Sister-in-Law (2)
After getting rid of the bandit's lair and taking advantage of the opportunity to buy and sell underground banks, the whole city of Lanzhou seemed to be calm for a while, and there were still people who stayed open at night. Chang'an couldn't help laughing when he heard the news of Mao Jin's return. A normal manifestation of Xie Qi Xin An.

Everyone thought it was the magistrate of the government and county protecting them, but they didn't know that he was the mastermind behind the bandits. The most hateful thing was the underground bank, not only rich families and officials patronized it. The sale of sons and daughters and wives has led to the destruction of many families, so now that this cancer has been completely cut off, everyone is applauding.

Of course, another happy event for Chang'an's father and daughter was Shen Changjian's return to Beijing to report on his work. They rushed to Lanzhou on the eldest princess's birthday, and the family reunited in a different place.

Shen Changjian is still the familiar appearance in Chang'an's memory, tall and strong, with star eyebrows and bright eyes, and two small canine teeth can be faintly seen when he smiles. Although they are now married and established, they love and protect her a lot.

Changan's sister-in-law Xie Minjun returned with Shen Changjian. This Xie Minjun is the niece of the aunt Xie's natal family. Shen Changjian's marriage was also the matchmaker of the aunt's insurance. Although Shen Changjian could not be said to be a harmonious husband and wife after marriage, he respected each other as guests , the couple have never blushed before, but the only regret is that Xie Minjun has been in office for three years but has never been pregnant. This time when they arrived in Lanzhou, Chang'an unexpectedly discovered that Shen Changjian had an extra concubine .

Speaking of this concubine, it's not Xie Minjun's dowry maid. I heard that she is the daughter of Shen Changjian who was the head of a hundred households. Her surname is Zhu Mingying. Her face was like a red apple, for Zhu Ying, Chang'an liked Zhu Ying a little at the first sight.

The three sisters-in-law sat in the carriage, chatting with each other as the carriage swayed and bumped.

Changan had been bedridden in the past, no matter whether it was before or after the marriage, she was not close to Xie Minjun, and she didn't know the other person's temperament very well. Now that she finally saw each other again, even because of Shen Changjian's relationship, she intentionally got close to him.

"Sister-in-law is now back. Eldest brother will not leave again if he thinks about it this time. When he finds a job in Beijing, life will be much more comfortable."

Chang An said with a smile, the days of being sent out may be much more comfortable for civil servants, but for military officials, could it be that they went to that bitter cold place to experience, either deploying defenses or fighting against the enemy, how could they be free in these days, there is still a certain amount of time. Thinking about the danger, Xie Minjun's days outside were more worrying than joyful.

"It depends on what your elder brother thinks."

Xie Minjun smiled lightly, his attitude was neither warm nor distant, even though the carriage was shaking and bumping, his sitting posture did not change at all, and he looked like a housewife.

Chang An is not annoyed either, it takes a while to get along with this person before he can tell the good from the bad, who would befriend you out of nowhere?

On the contrary, Zhu Ying covered her lips and smiled, "I'm afraid Dalang is not used to living a comfortable life. We are born to be on horseback, how can we rest?"

Zhu Ying grew up in the military camp since she was a child. She can play and dance, and her equestrian skills are also top-notch. She is a rare flower among women.

Chang An knew her elder brother's temper well, so she quite agreed with Zhu Ying's statement, so she also nodded with a smile. Her elder brother Shen Changjian is indeed the one who can't rest. It's almost grass.

But standing in her position, she hoped that her elder brother could stay in Beijing, not to mention that he would be taken care of by his family, at least he could spend a little more time with her. She longed for the feeling that her relatives were by her side.

However, Xie Minjun gave Zhu Yingfei a squinting look, and his complexion was also heavy. Although the words were not heavy, anyone could hear the sound of reprimand, "Da Lang returned to be an official in the capital. It's a release, so how do you know when there will be a possibility of promotion? Yingniang, I see that you are also from an official family background, how can you be so unsophisticated? This is to say in front of Chang'an, if someone else Hearing that, I thought our family didn't understand the rules at all, and it made people laugh for no reason!"

When Xie Minjun said this, Zhu Ying's face changed, and she responded in a low voice, then lowered her head, and said nothing for a long time.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly froze, Chang An couldn't help smiling and persuading: "Sister-in-law, Aunt Zhu didn't mean to say that, she's still young, you have plenty of time to train slowly, so don't get angry with her!"

Chang'an can also understand Xie Minjun's mentality. Any wife who doesn't want her husband to be promoted, marrying a man is not just about dressing and eating. The glory of a woman is tied to her husband. Running to the top, not to mention the intentional or unintentional competition when meeting other wives and ladies outside the house, the husband's status is different, and his status can only rise with the tide.

Naturally, concubines of ordinary people don’t need to go out to socialize. Zhu Ying doesn’t understand this, and it’s actually not of much use to her. Of course, she doesn’t care, but Xie Minjun didn’t agree when he heard it, and he was secretly worried. In other words, if Zhu Ying is also blowing pillow talk to Shen Changjian like this, then it's hard to say what the future fate of their family will be.

Therefore, for Zhu Ying's slip of the tongue at this moment, in Xie Minjun's heart, it was not just a simple reprimand, if she hadn't worried that Chang'an was still there, she would have let the maid come forward and slap her with a big slap.

"It's my younger sister's generosity. I can't help but praise her in my heart after hearing about her tolerance towards my aunt."

Xie Minjun glanced at Chang'an, but the words he said were sour. God knows how much she didn't want to take concubines for Shen Changjian, but she was afraid that others would think that she had nothing to do and that she would have such a jealous reputation. This was a last resort. He deliberately picked a daughter of a junior officer for Shen Changjian.

As soon as Xie Minjun said this, Chang An's face changed instantly, she pursed her lips, and said nothing again.

At first she had the heart to be friends with Xie Minjun, but now she sees that she is using words to block others without saying a word, this Xie Minjun is not easy to get along with, I am afraid that she is on the same level as the eldest aunt, she is indeed the same daughter of Xie's family, No one can match that shrewdness.

Xie Minjun wanted not to be disadvantaged, but also wanted to save face enough. On the surface, she was a kind mistress, but Changan seemed to see Xie Minjun's eyes shot at Zhu Ying full of resentment and viciousness. Rin couldn't help but start worrying about Zhu Ying's future.

Now even Chang'an didn't want to talk anymore, there was a silence in the carriage again, Xie Minjun also felt something was wrong, thinking it was caused by his slip of the tongue, and looked at Chang'an's pale face, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Xie Minjun knew that her husband and family members attached great importance to Chang'an. When she first married in the Duke's mansion, seeing the two of them greeting Chang'an, she had long thought that if she hadn't wanted to be a good wife How could she greet Chang An with a smile.
