In the courtyard, Yahuan Xiaoyue was humming a song while drying clothes, while Xie Xiaowan and her mother Jiang Shi were chatting with the guests in the house.

Beipo Village is a small fishing village with more than a dozen families, and as long as there is a little wind and grass, the whole village will soon be known. The news of the Xie family's aunt's first place in the examination naturally spread, so the idle mothers-in-law of each family came to the Xie family to join in the fun.

"Old Xie's family, I said that your second sword is also quite old, it just so happens that I have a niece who is just fifteen years old today, and she looks very smart, and she is just the right match for your second sword."

"I have a cousin who is only fourteen this year, and her temperament is excellent, and she is also literate and hyphenated, if Sister Jiang is interested, I can say that she agrees!"

Jiang Shi said with a smile and reservedly: "My second sword is wild, not as honest as his eldest brother." And I can't be the master of marriage as a woman, so I have to ask the master. ”

As the so-called poor people know in the downtown area, the rich live in the mountains and have distant relatives, which is a very realistic phenomenon.

It is said that the Jiang family had no in-laws soon after marrying Xie Qing, and the family relied on Xie Qing to earn some money to support the family, and Jiang's health was not good, so he often had to spend money to buy medicine, so the Xie family has always been poor.

When Xie Yidao and Xie Erjian were a little older and could help with their work, their family situation improved slightly, but they were still poor, after all, when the children were older, their food consumption also increased greatly, and the expenses for food and clothing also increased, so they didn't have a few dollars left throughout the year.

Because of this, in order to settle the boss's marriage the year before last, Jiang's heart was broken, hey, it's different now, she doesn't need to open her mouth at all, there are really a lot of people who take the initiative to come to the door to marry the Xie family, and even the fourth Xie Sangun has someone to "book", this is all because of a good son-in-law!

"Ahh

At this moment, a scream came from outside the courtyard, and everyone in the house was startled, and Jiang couldn't help frowning: "That girl in Yue'er must have seen rats and cockroaches again!" ”

Several village women laughed and joked: "After all, it is a maid ring from the palace, and she is even more delicate than the young lady." ”

"Madam, the lord is back! The master is back! Yue'er was so excited that her voice trembled a little.

Xie Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and then her feet bounced up like springs, and she ran out of the door quickly.

Xie Xiaowan ran to the door as fast as she could, and saw a carriage parked in front of the courtyard gate, and her father-in-law, dressed in a jade-colored shirt and a square scarf, was standing next to the carriage and looking at herself with a smile.

"Ah, Xianggong!" Xie Xiaowan covered her mouth in disbelief, obviously unexpectedly she had just received the news that Xiang Gong was showing off her talents, but Xiang Gong followed her into the house.

Xu Jin stepped forward quickly, and hugged Xie Xiaowan into his arms without saying anything, and the latter whispered in a shy voice: "Xianggong, there are guests at home!" ”

Xu Jin smiled and whispered in a low voice: "What are you afraid of, hug it and don't break the law, I haven't seen you for a month, Xianggong wants to kill you, does Xiaowan think about Xianggong?" ”

Xie Xiaowan was sweet in her heart, she was shy and reluctant to leave Xianggongyi's arms, buried her face in Xu Jin's arms like an ostrich, and hummed weakly.

Although Yahuan Yue'er, who was standing on the side, had long been accustomed to Xu Jin's bold and casual style, she couldn't help but blush at this time, and secretly stuck out her tongue: "The master can say such a meaty word, it's so embarrassing, but Mrs. is so happy!" ”

Ahem......

There were two light coughs from the old man behind him, and Xu Jin calmly let go of his hand, and saluted his mother-in-law Jiang who came out of the house with a calm expression: "Little son-in-law to meet my mother-in-law!" ”

Xie Xiaowan, this little girl, is not as thick as her father-in-law's skin, she lowered her head with a flushed face and called her father and second brother, and then ran to help Erniu with the luggage on the carriage.

The news of the Xie family's aunt's return soon spread like the wind throughout the small fishing village, so the Xie family's small courtyard soon became lively.

The old man Xie Qing was full of spring breeze, and immediately decided to set up a few tables to entertain the whole village, one to pick up the wind and wash the dust for his son-in-law, and the other to celebrate his son-in-law's talent in the examination.

Xu Jin cleverly took the silver and asked Erniu to go to the town to purchase ingredients.

In the evening, four tables of wine were set up in the small courtyard of the Xie family, and the whole village came, and even the fiancée and family of the eldest brother-in-law Xie Yidao were invited, and the service was very lively.

The meal was eaten until almost dark, and the neighbors dispersed one after another.

"Little rabbit cub with no conscience, the work of the yamen is decent and stable, you just don't do it, you have to be a soldier to fight and kill, you are really angry to death!" Jiang Shi was packing up for Xie Erjian while counting angrily.

Xie Qing said impatiently: "Okay, don't be wordy, a good man has ambitions in all directions, since the second child likes to go out, let him go, it's his ability to make a name for himself." ”

Xie Erjian said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, my son will not insult the prestige of his ancestors." ”

Xie Qinghu was stunned and said: "Sensei is smiling with Lao Tzu, although my father has never sent you to study, but the word loyalty and righteousness have taught you, you have been entrusted with loyalty and loyalty to others, and you have become a personal soldier to others, even if this life is sold to others, you have to think clearly!" ”

Xie Erjian looked whole and said: "The child understands!" After speaking, he took the burden handed by his mother Jiang, knelt down and knocked three times to his parents.

"Dad, mother, I'm leaving!" Xie Erjian stood up, turned around and walked out the door.

Jiang's eyes turned his head slightly red, now that the two sons are going their separate ways, and the daughter is also married, there is only the eldest child left in the family, which is inevitably a little sad.

Xu Jin and Xie Sangun sent Xie Erjian outside the village, and the latter waved his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, don't send it, fourth, the family will rely on you in the future, take care of your mother." ”

Xie Sangun patted his chest and said: "Second brother, don't worry, I have me at home, even if you go and break in, you will come back without mixing up your personal appearance!" ”

Xie Erjian said with a smile: "Okay, the second brother will earn a life for our mother!" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Second brother, take it easy, remember what I told you, don't be careless, Lord Sun's safety is the top priority." ”

Xie Erjian nodded and said, "I know, I'm leaving!" ”

Xie Erjian waved his hand, and lazily went downhill along the dirt road with his waist knife carrying his burden.

Xu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, the second brother-in-law didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse, according to the inference, King Ning was very likely to rebel next year, and now because of the "Jade Seal" matter, it is even more likely that King Ning will be forced to launch in advance, I hope Sun Sui can listen to his advice and pay enough attention.

It is said that when leaving Nanchang by boat, Xu Jin reminded Sun Sui on the boat and persuaded him to move the governor's yamen to Nankang City, but Sun Sui was just silent and did not agree.

After sending Xie Erjian away, Xu Jin returned to the small courtyard, Yahuan Yue'er and her brother-in-law's fiancée Miao Cuihua were cleaning up the dishes, and Erniu was also helping on the side.

Xie Qing said: "The virtuous son-in-law has been tired all the way, let's take a bath and rest first!" ”

Xu Jin was indeed a little tired, so he rarely let Xie Xiaowan take a bath in a very corrupt manner, and then went back to the room early to rest.
