Chapter No. 16: The son-in-law who is afraid of death [One day, I will definitely turn this prosperous world into a real prosperous world! 】

Seeing Xu Heng's look of bitterness and hatred, Yongyan knew that this little awkwardness must have thought of something else.

I saw the little awkward classmate pouted and frowned, poking around in the bowl with chopsticks in his hand, but refused to take another bite.

Yongyan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at the little awkward classmate: "What is the son-in-law bothered about, if you can't figure it out, you can tell me."

Xu Heng was a little unbelievable when she heard the words, she gave a puzzled "Hey", she looked up at Yongyan, and after confirming that she had heard correctly, she was stunned for a while, after all, Yongyan had never done something similar to "heart-to-heart talk" with her before. things like that.

She shook her head, but didn't want to say anything.

"Perhaps, Bengong can help you?" Yongyan smiled.

The tone and tone of her words were close to coaxing, and Ziyun was moved to tears when she heard it. She swore that this time, she could be sure that the princess's attitude towards the son-in-law was absolutely perfect. Mr. A Nuo is gentle!

"I...I...I'm fine, nothing happened!" The little awkward student stammered, still holding on to the position he was about to lose, but couldn't help but blushed and shrank his neck.

Yongyan didn't ask any more questions after seeing this, and ordered his servants to remove the unused meals. Immediately afterwards, the kitchen brought another cup of sweet after-dinner soup. With his amazing sense of smell, the little awkward student concluded that it must be My favorite sweet soup - horseshoe bird's nest soup.

Although this small sweet soup sounds high-end, the recipe is actually very simple.Pour cold water into the pot, add water chestnut, water chestnut is black taro, chop it into pieces, pour it into cold water, add bird's nest and a small amount of barley and cook together, and then add rock sugar when it is about to come out of the pot, and put it in summer Chill in the ice cellar for half an hour, the cool taste will be better.

Xu Heng watched without blinking that the small cup of sweet soup was put from the cook's hand on the mahogany table, and was picked up by the purple cloud again, and even the small bowl with the only purple and gold pattern was sent to Yongyan.

Xu Heng muttered in his heart: What's all this? He co-authored and made a bowl of sweet soup, so he didn't have his share...

Yongyan lifted the lid of the cup, picked up a small wooden spoon and poured a bowl in person. When Xu Heng came back to his senses, Ziyun had already brought the bowl of sweet soup that Yongyan had prepared to her.

"Huh?" Xu Heng grinned suddenly: "Thank you princess!"

Yongyan bent his lips when he heard the words: "Be careful of burning."

"It's okay, it's okay, if my son-in-law burns to death because of drinking Xiaotiantang, it will be considered a heroic sacrifice." Xu Heng waved his hand, very heroic.

Yongyan's smile deepened, and he bent his index finger and clasped his chin pretending to be thoughtful, and said, "Did you die bravely... Speaking of this, I remembered that I heard that the Zhechong Mansion is recruiting manpower recently, do you want to try it?" try?"

"Huh?" Xu Heng had just taken a sip of the sweet soup, when he heard such a thunderbolt between his teeth and cheeks, he almost choked.

"No, no, no," Xu Heng immediately declined after a moment of reaction. She shook her head like a rattle and said with a mournful face, "No, no, no! I can't!"

Yongyan frowned slightly: "Why?"

"Princess, princess, don't you know my weight? I'm good at fighting hooligans on Chang'an Street. After all, whoever calls the most people is the uncle. But now it's Zhechong Mansion, what if I enter Zhechong Mansion , His Majesty, the old man wants to send me to the northern border to fight. You said that I am so small, and I have not been beaten to death. It is a small matter to be beaten to death, but if you embarrass the princess, it will not be justified. .”

Yongyan: "...."

Xu Heng didn't care about Yongyan's cold face at all, drank the little sweet soup in one gulp, and continued to talk to himself: "Princess, please take pity on our frail Xu family. If I die, grandma will lose one of them." Dear grandson, Ah Nuo will no longer have a father, and you will also become a widow, princess."

Yongyan: "...?" For the first time, Yongyan had the urge to hit her.

"When Ah Nuo goes to study in the Taishu Mansion, other young masters will poke his back and call him a child without a father. Princess, do you think it's miserable!"

Without waiting for Yongyan to reply, Xu Heng slammed the table: "It's miserable! It's so miserable! My poor Ah Nuo! You can't lose your father at such a young age."

Yongyan's good upbringing made her unable to calm down, she looked at the eloquent little counselor in front of her angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "What I wanted to say was that the Zhechong Mansion is recruiting civil servants, that is, writing Errands like the roster, but it seems that you don't want to go."

"Huh?" The tears that Xu Heng wanted to squeeze out were stuck back, and he smiled with his eyes narrowed: "Ah, the recruit is a civil servant, so if that's the case, I can give it a try. , among other things, I can still recognize this word. Princess, why don't we make an appointment?"

"No need." Facing such a flattering smiling face, Yongyan could no longer say what he wanted to reprimand, and said helplessly, "It is only now that the Japanese Palace has realized that the identity of the second young master of the Xu family is the most suitable for him." You son-in-law, you should let go of the matter of seeking employment from the court."

"Thank you princess for your compassion. If there is nothing wrong, Xu Heng will leave first. When the princess enters the palace in the evening, the princess should send someone to call me earlier."

Yongyan waved his hand: "Okay, let's go."

"Hey, good."

Xu Heng happily finished the remaining little sweet soup and was about to say goodbye. He walked out the door, looked at the blue sky, and suddenly felt that life was infinitely beautiful, and secretly rejoiced that he had escaped another catastrophe.

That girl actually asked herself to become an official in Zhechong Mansion?

Are you okay?

There is a saying in the Xu family's family: All the children of the Xu family are not allowed to join the army, and secondly, they are not allowed to be officials.She can't break the Xu family's rules.

Besides, she has been in the market for a long time, and she doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, but which official lord's slave embezzled the people's land, which military lord's nephew robbed the civilian daughter, she knows all about these things Qing, the brothers on the road will scold the court, how can I be such a bad person?

Xu Quan didn't know where he found out that Xu Heng had rejected the errand in Zhechong Mansion, and rushed over as soon as he returned to Xu's house. As soon as he entered Xu Heng's Xiyuan, he yelled: "Second brother, what are you doing again?" Confused?"

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Xu Heng was confused by what he said.

"Of course it's about the Zhechong mansion." Xu Quan said, "I missed such a good opportunity for nothing? You don't know how many people want to enter the Zhechong mansion but can't get in. Second brother, you are stupid. Your dignified son-in-law entered the Zhechong mansion." , can’t be a mere fire chief, at least he’s also a school lieutenant!”

Xu Heng said helplessly: "It's a civil job, and I can't pay for any troubles. Besides, big brother, do you remember the Xu family's family training?"

"What family training?" Xu Quan was taken aback for a moment, apparently forgot it, then waved his hand and said, "Hey, what kind of family training do you care about? .Second brother, second brother, you are really confused, if third brother can have you this chance, he will definitely wake up laughing."

"Brother, you don't know why the third brother was sent to Songshan Academy to study?"

"Mother is afraid that he will go to the army," Xu Quan didn't care, "but you are the son-in-law, so why is it the same? I can't help my mother, the sky is high, let the birds fly, second brother!"

Xu Heng smiled, and refused to comment on his boldness, as if it was not Xu Quan who was spanked by his mother with a cane every time.

"Second brother, with your current status, maybe one day you will be able to kill that bastard Zhou Ji'an in Zhechong Mansion to avenge the Xu family. Now you are a dignified son-in-law, he has no reason to dare to deal with you."

"Brother, this matter should not be rushed." Mentioning Zhou Ji'an, Xu Heng's face finally became serious: "Now that the Zhou family is deeply trusted by the emperor, if we start revenge at this time, I am afraid that we will be suppressed before we take action." ".

"Bah!" Xu Quan gritted his teeth in hatred: "That bastard made the Xu family so miserable that day, I want to see how long he can live?"

Seeing that Xu Quan was angry, Xu Heng could only change the topic back, and sighed: "Brother, even if there is no Xu family training, I have no intention of becoming an official. The so-called peaceful and prosperous times of the Great Wei court...is not the peace I imagined. Prosperity."

Xu Quan said coldly: "Second brother, you have to understand, in the broad sense of prosperity, how can a bowl of water be leveled? I know very well that the reason why you don't want to be an official is nothing more than the three words of officials bullying the people. But In today's world, it is only natural for an official to bully the people, and there is no point in reasoning."

Xu Heng looked at the dead branches outside the window, and said in a low voice, "Brother, believe it or not, one day, I will definitely turn this prosperous world into a real prosperous world!"

Xu Quan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "I believe it."
