Dali Temple has not been busy recently. As soon as Shen Shi arrived, Gu Jingxi was ready to go home.

As soon as he left the Yamen of Dali Temple, Gu Jingxi was stopped by a voice behind him. He turned around and looked at Qi Yunwen with doubt in his eyes.

Qi Yunwen said: "Yao Ling, shall we get together at Zuixian Tower tonight? Speaking of which, we may not have had a drink and a meal together for a long time. I am treating you today."

Gu Jingxi did not hesitate and declined politely: "Mo Bai, let's try another day."

Hearing his refusal so bluntly, Qi Yunwen was stunned: "What do you want to do today?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "I want to go home and have dinner with my wife."

After hearing this, Qi Yunwen smiled and said, "I thought it was some big deal. I just sent someone to tell my sister-in-law that you have a party tonight so that she doesn't have to wait for you. Wouldn't that be enough?"

Gu Jingxi gave him a meaningful look: "You had a fight with your sister-in-law and need to drink to drown your sorrows?"

Qi Yunwen: "..."

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi showed a genuine expression and smiled: "Then just coax her. No matter how old a woman is, she is still a little girl at heart and still needs to be coaxed."

Qi Yunwen said "Hey" and said: "Gu Yaoling, I used to teach you how to coax your wife, but now you are teaching me the other way around?"

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "I'm leaving now. I have to take a detour to Yipinzhai later. If I delay any longer, the snacks will be sold out. If I rush there now, I might be able to catch up."

Qi Yunwen: "..."

He just watched Gu Jingxi leave.

After a while, another official came out. He smiled again and asked in a warm voice: "Master Zhang, are you free tonight? Why don't we get together at Zuixian Tower? I will be the host tonight."

Lord Zhang was flattered when he heard this, but he politely refused and replied: "I thank you Lord Shaoqing for your kindness, but my wife has already prepared food at home and said that she would cook tonight, so I have to go back to accompany my wife." People have dinner.”

Qi Yunwen was surprised. He remembered that Mr. Zhang’s wife was a fierce woman who could compete with Mrs. Liu who was born in a general family. She was so angry that she had a fight with Mr. Zhang because he had taken a concubine. The relationship between the couple was not harmonious. , asked strangely: "You and Mrs. Zhang have such a good relationship? Didn't they fight before?"

Master Zhang: "..."

It’s really hard to mention which pot is the best. How long ago did the fight happen?

Master Zhang smiled awkwardly: "That was in the past. Isn't this thanks to Master Si Qing? The official also got inspiration from Master Si Qing. As a woman, you still have to give in. Why should you care about her? In this way Come, the official and my wife will get back together, and my wife will become more gentle and considerate."

Qi Yunwen: "..."

There are just as many subordinates as there are superiors. This influence is really not just a little bit. It seems that starting from the day Yao Ling wore a purse embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern, other officials in Dali Temple, perhaps in order to please their superiors, started to go crazy. Following the trend, comparison behavior has now emerged.

But this is also beneficial. It promotes the relationship between husband and wife. Officials with a harmonious family look radiant. Look, Mrs. Zhang, who can fight with Mr. Zhang, has now become gentle and considerate, and the husband and wife are loving.

Seeing that he was silent, Master Zhang wondered if he had refused. Master Shaoqing was unhappy and said hurriedly: "Master Siqing, I will treat you to a guest some other time. Let's invite Master Shaoqing to drink."

Qi Yunwen glanced at him: "Okay, go back, I have to go back to my house."

Master Zhang responded, making sure that he was not unhappy, and then said goodbye to him.

Qi Yunwen also lost interest in finding someone to drink with, and walked towards his carriage. After getting on the carriage, he told the driver: "Go to Yipinzhai, hurry up."

When Qi Yunwen arrived at Yipinzhai, he saw Gu Jingxi who had just bought snacks.

Their eyes met, and after a moment, Gu Jingxi said, "What a coincidence. I thought you had found other colleagues to drink away your sorrows."

Qi Yunwen pursed his lips: "I think you still have to coax when it's time to coax." After he said that, he thought about it and added awkwardly, "Although it's not my fault."

Gu Jingxi laughed softly and replied, "I've bought it. I'll go back home first. See you tomorrow."

Qi Yunwen: "See you tomorrow."

After he turned to leave, the waiter greeted Qi Yunwen warmly: "Sir, our store has the last snack left today, which is egg yolk cake. Do you want to buy it? Our store's egg yolk cake is quite famous throughout the capital. , many customers went to other places to buy it, and they all said it was not as delicious as the one in our store, so the adult just bought one."

Qi Yunwen nodded: "Yes, I want it."

-

Changxing Hou Mansion.

Gu Jingxi returned to his mansion and when passing by the garden, he heard familiar laughter not far ahead. He walked quickly to follow the sound and saw A Yao and his two sisters-in-law playing hut in the open space in the garden.

To be precise, it was not the three of them playing hut, but each of the three of them sent a maid to the battle. They just drank tea and ate melon seeds and watched the fun.

When there are no conflicts of interest, the three sisters-in-law get along quite harmoniously.

Mrs. Zhang was the first to see Gu Jingxi and said to Meng Jinyao: "Third brother and sister, look, the third brother is back."

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she looked up and met Gu Jingxi's gentle and smiling eyes. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

After Gu Jingxi approached, he greeted his two sisters-in-law and took his young wife back.

Meng Jinyao noticed the boxy things in the package in his hand. The piece of paper was from this family. At a glance, he knew it was a snack from Yipinzhai, and asked with a smile: "Husband, what kind of snack is this time?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Egg yolk cake, didn't you want to eat it yesterday?"

Meng Jinyao smiled brightly: "My husband is so kind."

Gu Jingxi said meaningfully: "You're talking about me now? Didn't you call me a bastard last night?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao looked stunned, glared at him, and said coquettishly: "If you mention last night again, I will ignore you."

Gu Jingxi chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, let's not mention it for my husband." After saying that, he reached out to hold her little hand to prevent her from throwing him away, but he still held it tightly.

Meng Jinyao was held tightly by him and giggled: "Why are you holding on so tightly? I can't run. Even if I want to run, I can't outrun you."

Gu Jingxi glanced at her, how could he be afraid of her running away? This is because she is afraid that she will not let him lead her. Even though she is a delicate little girl, she is also very difficult to deal with when her temper rises.

Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Chen looked at their husband and wife's retreating figures and felt a little envious at the loving couple. Their husbands could not be like their third brother.

Mrs. Zhang was full of emotions: "I used to think that my third brother was not a womanizer, and I thought he was just a piece of wood who didn't understand the charm. Now that he treats my third brother and sister like jewels, it turns out we were wrong."

Mrs. Chen nodded and said: "No, have you seen what the third brother is carrying? Those are snacks from Yipinzhai. Yipinzhai is not the same as Houfu. It is obvious that the third brother deliberately took a detour to buy it for his third younger sister."

Zhang's tone was sour: "Our uncle has never done this, not even when he was young."

Mrs. Chen said: "Our second master doesn't have one either."

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and responded sourly: "The second brother is much better than our eldest brother."

This is true. In terms of talent and learning, the second brother is better than her husband, and the same is true in terms of ability. Moreover, the second brother only had one concubine, which was Xuan Ling's biological mother, the deceased Aunt Fang.

And her husband had several concubines. If she hadn't been careful, there would have been a lot of concubines and concubines now. After years of guarding them, no concubines or concubines would show up to bother her.
