Chapter 367: Blame me for spitting out my poisonous tongue again
"I ...... Grandma and grandchildren have some important things to do, and they have to delay a little time. [Please search for updates]" Zhao Dali looked away with some weakness and said.
"You have no lord, no official position, what's the important thing, more important than grandma? You've been delaying for a day, and your father must have ordered you to come and see your grandmother yesterday, right? Old Madam Cao looked at Zhao Dali, and her tone became more and more peaceful, but the more this was the case, the more frightened Zhao Dali became.
"Why don't you speak?" Old Madam Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said indifferently.
"Grandma, my father did tell my grandson yesterday that he couldn't come because he was busy with official business, and my eldest brother had to go to socialize and couldn't get out, so I asked my grandson to come and visit grandma." In front of Mrs. Cao's eyes that could almost pierce people's hearts, Zhao Dali could only answer honestly.
"Then what kind of important business did you have last night that caused you to delay all day, and now you have arrived?" After Mrs. Cao sniffed, her expression became more and more strange.
How dare Zhao Dali tell the truth, he can only say it in a whisper. "It was Sun Er's best friend He Qing who had an urgent matter to discuss, so Sun Er rushed over, and when the matter was resolved, the time was ......"
"The woman last night was pretty right, wasn't she?" Old Madam Cao suddenly came up with such a sentence.
Zhao Dali nodded subconsciously. "Not bad...... Grandma, what do you say? ”
"Lao Jiu, there are women on his ship, right?" Old Madam Cao ignored Zhao Dali, who looked frightened, but raised her head and asked Zhao Ajiu, the escort who arrived at Changqingguan with the boat.
Zhao Ajiu could only nod stubbornly in the face of this old lady Cao, who was more powerful than the master.
"Looks like you were pretty busy yesterday, didn't you?" Old man Cao smiled and said, but the laughter was so cold that it was terrifying.
"Grandma, my grandson is wrong, please put out your anger, don't hurt your body." Zhao Dali said with a sad face.
"My Zhao family has always been very strict, how could there be such a thing as you, Lao Jiu, drive the woman on the boat away, in addition, after returning to Beijing, you will stay in the study for the old body to study, and wait until the day of the imperial examination before you can step out of the house, otherwise, the old body will not have you as a grandson."
Zhao Dali fell to the ground dejectedly, and after waiting for the idle people to withdraw from the door, Mrs. Cao called Zhao Ajiu, and carefully inquired about the situation, but could only smile gloomily. "That's it, on one side is my grandson, on the other side is a life-saving benefactor, how can the old body be? By the way, you will tell Dali later, so that he is not allowed to take revenge, if the old body knows what crooked thoughts he has moved, don't blame the old body for really not recognizing him. ”
"The old lady can rest assured, the villain will go and tell the second son." Zhao Ajiu didn't dare to reply sluggishly, and left quickly.

The next day, after getting up, after washing up, I naturally went to visit the two elders first, but I only saw one of them, and naturally Mrs. Ximen, who was quite fond of Duan Shaojun, was not a big official of Ximen who picked bones in Duan Shaojun's eggs all day long.
"Come and sit down, Brother Shaojun, how about you when you first arrived in Beijing, how about it, you slept well last night, can you taste this breakfast to see if it suits your appetite......" Ximen Chuchu was like a cheerful lark, chattering non-stop.
Mrs. Simon looked at her daughter helplessly, but also kindly, and said for a long time. "Okay, girl, if your brother Shaojun is busy with you, he won't even have a chance to eat."
"What did my mother say, I didn't let him eat." Ximen Chuchu blushed with shame, squeezed to his mother's side and said coquettishly.
"You, alas, my daughter." Mrs. Ximen looked at the broken hair on Ximen Chuchu's cheeks with a loving face, and raised her eyes to look at Duan Shaojun. "Shaojun, in fact, my husband doesn't mean to be difficult for you, it's just that I love my daughter, and I hope you can understand the feelings of being a parent."
"Uncle's words, the little nephew is in his heart, and he dare not forget it." Duan Shaojun nodded, Mrs. Ximen was so polite, she naturally couldn't help but sell face, as the so-called one gift and one answer.
If the Ximen officials jump out and twitter again, well, then don't blame my son-in-law for spitting out poisonous tongues.
"You must also know that my husband loves his daughter the most, more than Dalang's son." Mrs. Simon sighed softly, looked at her daughter, who looked like herself, and said. "So, he hopes that his daughter can have a good home, alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world......"
Duan Shaojun didn't speak, but nodded thoughtfully, the family is unfortunate, out of such a sinful son, anyone will do this. As for the Ximen official who loves his daughter and is obsessed, although Duan Shaojun doesn't like each other, it doesn't mean that he likes to despise his favored old father-in-law.
It's just a matter of facts, having said that, if the senior official of Simon can talk to himself like Mrs. Simon, his attitude will naturally not be so blunt, and he will provoke him with words at every turn.
Mrs. Simon spoke but knew more about language arts, and told Duan Shaojun very vaguely that since she was bent on marrying her daughter, she had to work hard to complete the agreement as soon as possible.
As for having two concubines, this is not a big deal, but a good man should focus on his career, and he can't always be immersed in the gentle township all day long, and lose his enterprising heart.
Of course, Duan Shaojun understood what Mrs. Ximen meant, patted his chest and promised that he would study hard, make progress every day, walk without looking at girls, and not pick up girls on the street, and strive to become a good son-in-law of the Ximen family in the future.
Mrs. Simon's heart was full of sycophants, and the Chu Chu girl looked at Ai Lang with her upper mouth up to the sky and her lower mouth on the ground with peach blossoms in her eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more she could fool her.
Mrs. Simon began to plan for Duan Shaojun with a big heart. "You are also a person who wants to become an official, and you will have to start a family in the future, and it is not a good thing to live in my house for a long time. Anyway, now you have a mansion in Beijing......"
Seeing her daughter's lips pursed and her unhappy look, Mrs. Simon reluctantly grabbed her daughter's fragrant shoulder and persuaded her. "Good daughter, my mother doesn't feel sorry for you, but your young brother is not in our family, how can he live for a long time?"
In the end, Ximen Chuchu still obeyed his mother's persuasion, but that pitiful appearance was really unbearable.
Duan Shaojun's eyes rolled and said to Mrs. Ximen. "Since my little nephew has just arrived in Jingshi, I can be said to have a dark eye for Jingshi, can I let Sister Chu Chu accompany me to walk around in the past two days, and I am familiar with it."
"Okay, mother, can I go and be a guide for Brother Shaojun?" Ximen Chuchu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say happily.
"You, whatever you want, but don't play too late, even if you don't come back for dinner, you have to let someone go home and let you know?" Mrs. Simon could only agree to her daughter's request.
"Don't worry, mother, this is a Jingshi, nothing can happen." Simon replied with a smile.
"Shaojun, you have to protect my daughter, something went wrong, the old body asked you." After Mrs. Simon pinched her daughter's face dotingly, she turned her face and said solemnly.

Duan Shaojun naturally patted his chest and made a guarantee.
"By the way, I heard that you had a conflict with Prime Minister Zhao's second son yesterday, right?" Madame Simon nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly thought of something else.
"Mother, that guy provoked us first." Ximen Chuchu suddenly said indignantly.
"Of course my mother knows, but the Zhao family is powerful, so it's better for you to be careful when you go out, and the guards around your mother will be transferred to you first."
"Mother, don't you need it? The daughter can just bring a few guards from the house. Simon Chuchu's expression fell suddenly.
"Don't disobey your mother, otherwise you won't be allowed to go out." After Mrs. Ximen took out the authority of being a mother, Ximen Chuchu could only nod with a frowning face, but when she thought of being able to go out with Brother Shaojun and eat delicious food, her mood suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny, and her smile was like a flower.
After Mrs. Ximen left, Duan Shaojun came to Ximen Chuchu's side. "Are your mother's guards very good?"
"Sure, but ...... Alas, I don't know what to say anyway, Brother Shaojun, you will know when you see it. Ximen Chuchu had an indescribable expression, and Chong Duan Shaojun explained.
