The emperor is embarrassed

Xue Shaoliang thought he heard it wrong, he didn't know anyone in the imperial capital, he just habitually turned his face slightly, his eyes swept 180 degrees without blind spots, and he didn't see any acquaintances.

Turn around and keep walking.

However, Song Yao saw Xue Shaoliang's side face clearly, hurriedly chased after him, and called again, "Shaoliang—"

Xue Shaoliang was slightly surprised when he saw someone coming this time, "Cousin? Why are you in the imperial capital?"

Seeing that Xue Shaoliang was dressed in filial piety, Song Yao didn't say much, but instead asked, "Where do you live? Did you just come to the imperial capital, is this?"

Xue Shaoliang nodded, "The inn."

"Come home with me." Song Yao went to help Xue Shaoliang lead the horse, and warmly invited, "I just found a small house in the imperial capital, it's not big, and I'll enter it twice, and an old servant came to the imperial capital with me. It’s just right that you’re here, let’s live together.”

Xue Shaoliang didn't speak, just followed Song Yao.

The Song family didn’t choose to live. This place belongs to the slums of the imperial capital. Song Yao and Zhao Lingyan are not rich people. Now they are working in the imperial capital’s forbidden army. The price is cheap and it's close.

Song Yao took the man home and poured another bowl of herbal tea for Xue Shaoliang to drink. Fang asked, "What's the matter with your clothes? But something happened at home?"

Xue Shaoliang said, "Father passed away."

Although Song Yao had expected this, he still sighed when he heard the news, "I'm in the imperial capital, and I don't know, my uncle has always been in good health, how could that be?"

"It was my fault."

Xue Shaoliang had always been cold-faced, even his voice was cold. When he mentioned his father's death, his face was still expressionless, but there was a kind of desolation in his bones from all over his body. Life is so good, it makes people feel unbearable.

"Don't say that, if my uncle knows you, and knows how sad you are, he will miss you too." Song Yao persuaded him warmly, but he didn't dare to ask about uncle again.

Xue Chunhong is a good man, he only loves one woman in his life, and only this one woman.Song Yao's family was defeated back then, if it wasn't for this uncle's help, I don't know if he would be here today.

At that time, my aunt had already passed away.Even Song Yao couldn't remember what his aunt looked like in his memory.However, Xue Chunhong is really a very infatuated man. After his wife died of illness, he did not dye any color, and insisted on pulling his only son to grow up.

In the past, Song Yao always felt that Xue Shaoliang's bad temper was caused by his uncle's pampering, and he had never seen a parent who spoiled his children more than his uncle.

Seeing Xue Shaoliang's sadness now, Song Yao sighed, "We finally met, you will live with me, and we will also be companions. What do you want for lunch? I'll take you out to eat."

"Let's eat at home." Xue Shaoliang took out a few bank notes from his bosom and stuffed them into Song Yao's hands. Song Yao turned pale with shock, and kept pushing back, "What is this for?"

"You take it, I'll get it for you after I use it." Xue Shaoliang's eyes fell on the spider web in the corner of the room, it seemed that his cousin was really not rich.And the chairs and utensils in the room are so gray that they really don't look like high-end things.

Hearing what Xue Shaoliang said, Song Yaozhen's most important number was easy to put away, and said to Xue Shaoliang, "That's okay. Don't think about it, how luxurious is the place to live temporarily? You rest, I will do it meal."

Xue Shaoliang followed Song Yao's buttocks, Song Yao glanced at him, "Go and rest."

"help."

Your son also needs to eat, let alone two down and out noble sons.

It's okay for Song Yao, he was down and out earlier, and he has developed his skills since he was a child.As soon as Xue Shaoliang fell into despair, he appeared clumsy and could not get in the way. In the end, he was kicked out by Song Yao.

Xue Shaoliang brought water from the well outside to wash Song Yao's hands. Song Yao smiled, "It's much cuter than before."

Xue Shaoliang glared at him, Song Yao washed his hands, and commanded, "Go and bring the dishes to the main room, the kitchen is too hot, let's eat in the main room."

"It's gone bad." Xue Shaoliang said, and went to work.

"Damn brat." Song Yao was a few years older than Xue Shaoliang, and he regarded himself as an elder brother.

Xue Shaoliang also liked the feeling of being able to meet relatives in the imperial capital.

After lunch, both brothers drank a large bowl of herbal tea.Song Yao fished out the fruit splashing in the well, put it in a large porcelain bowl and shared it with Xue Shaoliang, each talking about the past few years.

Mostly Song Yao said, Xue Shaoliang listened.

When he heard that Song Yao had won the first prize in Wushu, Xue Shaoliang said "Congratulations", and Song Yao said, "Shaoliang, don't wander around. We live together in the imperial capital, and we have a help. You don't know anything about the outside world." , if I get cheated or something goes wrong, I won’t bear it in my heart.”

"En." Xue Shaoliang said, "Then I'll leave after you marry a wife." He was determined not to be a fool.

Song Yao sighed, "In this imperial capital, how dare you marry a daughter-in-law. Hey, you don't know how powerful the women in the imperial capital are. Zhao Lingyan, the No. [-] martial artist in this world, lives close to us. His cousin wants to reconcile with his cousin. He followed The cousin went to his cousin's natal house to persuade him to make peace, and the second princess' son-in-law followed. The three of them went there, and the one who was beaten escaped with blood on his face. Among them, his cousin was beaten the most and asked to be carried from."

"I went to see Zhao Lingyan's injury today. I met you when I came out of his house." Song Yao sighed, "Zhao Lingyan's cousin is still the daughter of a civil official's family. She is so fierce. Some people told me Dear, most of them are daughters of military officials. Hearing what Zhao Lingyan said about this matter, who would dare to marry a girl from the imperial capital? Women from the imperial capital are more powerful than tigers."

"Marry someone with a good temper." Xue Shaoliang said.

Song Yao babbled, "Zhao Lingyan's cousin was originally a standard lady, who didn't dare to speak out when she was out of breath. This time at her mother's house, his cousin's head was swollen by the big mouth. Zhao Lingyan shuddered when he thought of it. , you don't know how powerful that woman is."

"He has martial arts." In terms of martial strength, Xue Shaoliang didn't think he would lose to a woman.

"Who dares to fight? His cousin's father-in-law is the Minister of the Household Department and the emperor's teacher." Song Yao said, "The second son-in-law and Zhao Lingyan were beaten up all over their faces, and the emperor just fined the Minister of the Household Department with one year's salary."

Xue Shaoliang said, "It's what you deserve. You can't afford to offend me, but you still dare to go." Isn't this looking for a beating?There is no need for sympathy at all.

"I just mean that women in the imperial capital are not easy to mess with." Song Yao is very similar to Zhao Lingyan, but he just went to persuade a fight, but he was cannon fodder, which is really bad luck.

Xu Yingyu just woke up from a nap. After dressing up, she talked to her parents and took her second brother Xu Bingzhong to Zeng's house to count the dowry.

As for the third brother Xu Bingtang, after knocking Zeng Jing's bricks, he ran back to the House of Internal Affairs to continue his research, but he escaped his father's scolding.As a result, the scolding for two people fell on Xu Bingzhong alone, so it was hard.

Now that I accompany my sister to her ex-husband's house to count the dowry, Xu Bingtang is not around, so Xu Bingzhong is obliged.

As for the Zeng family, Xu Bingzhong didn't eat the tea, ignored the questions, and just stayed by his sister's side with a dark face to support his sister.

Xu Yingyu's nanny, Madam Cheng, counted the rest of the dowry, handed the list to her daughter, and made a list of the missing part by the way.

Zeng's mother Zhao looked haggard, she came out to entertain Xu Yingyu, and sighed, "Good boy, it's too late to say anything now, our Zeng family has wronged you." Thousands of words, only a sigh.

"Auntie doesn't need to talk about this. I have nothing to do with your son." Xu Yingyu handed the two lists to Mother Zhao, and said gently, "This is my remaining dowry. Mr. Zeng went out to visit teachers and friends. Auntie, I know the situation of your family. You don’t have to say polite words to me. Use it up and use it up, I won’t mention it, and neither will Auntie in the future.”

Zhao's face showed embarrassment, "How good is this?" and sighed, "Thank you very much."

Xu Yingyu had nothing to say, got up and said, "Farewell."

Zeng Jing stood at the door, her head wrapped in gauze, her body was thin and thin, and her silhouette was thin and haggard under the setting sun.Zeng Jing stared at Xu Yingyu dazedly with tears in her eyes.

Xu Yingyu gave him a polite nod, her footsteps never stopped, and she walked away, leaving only the fragrance of her clothes.

Xu Bingzhong gave Zeng Jing a hard look, and followed his sister away.My own servants brought boxes of dowry back to Xu's house, and Xu Yingyu's dowry servants all returned to Xu's house.

The Tseng Mansion was half empty immediately, it was obviously summer, but there was a bit of silence.

The marriage with the Zeng family was reconciled according to the wishes of the daughter.

Xu San still has a lot to say to his daughter.

Xu Yingyu also had something to say to her father, "Father, forgive me for being presumptuous, I really don't want to live with Zeng Jing anymore."

As soon as Xu San heard her daughter's coquettish voice, she felt a little helpless, and said helplessly, "I've done everything, why are you talking about this? Back then, you didn't listen to my advice."

"Yes." Xu Yingyu sat down beside her father, resting her head on his father's shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's all because my father spoils me too much."

Xu San couldn't help laughing, so he had to say, "Forget it, even His Majesty said that girls should be pampered a little bit. You can rest easy when you go home. This martial arts is over, and I'll be fine with the champion of martial arts. Life is unparalleled in beauty, and he was born as a champion, and he has some talents..."

"Father, don't be wishful thinking. I am a divorced daughter, the number one scholar in the family, can you be happy?" Xu Yingyu took her father's arm and said with a smile, "Let me rest at home for a while. It's really big for me to be married for a few years. Hurt."

"Get engaged first, then rest and recuperate." In Master Xu's eyes, there is only one thing in this world that his daughter doesn't like, and there is no one that his daughter doesn't deserve.

Poor Song Yao was so missed.

Xu Yingyu stopped talking about this with her father, she whispered, "Father, I always feel that the daughter Zeng Jing got back this time is not easy."

"How to say?"

"Actually, I knew that there were people outside him." Xu Yingyu sighed, "The Zeng family is so small, there is something I don't know."

"I deliberately didn't say anything about his health before, but I asked the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine, and put it in soup every day to give him a drink, hoping that he would get better." Xu Yingyu said, "After all, we are still young, even if I have never had any children, so it doesn’t hurt to adopt one.”

"It's just that Zeng Jing's heart knot is too heavy, and his mother has been anxious to hold the grandson. I just want to see where he is standing." Xu Yingyu sneered, "The result is really heartbreaking."

In this matter, Xu Yingyu did have selfish intentions.Firstly, she wanted to save Zeng Jing's face; secondly, she also had a tentative heart; thirdly, she wanted an appropriate opportunity to subtly expose Zeng Jing's infertility.

Xu Yingyu is a very special woman. To her, it was nothing to be blamed by her mother-in-law or even Zeng Jing's dissatisfaction.After all, Xu Yingyu didn't pay much attention to things that were just words and attitudes, and with her background, the Zeng family didn't dare to go too far.What's more, when the truth is revealed, the Zeng family's guilt towards her will be as great as the previous blame.

To truly win over a man, some means are absolutely necessary.

However, Xu Yingyu didn't expect things to go this far.

When she knew that there was someone outside Zeng Jing, she immediately cut off all thoughts of Zeng Jing.

Xu San suddenly thought of something, and asked his daughter in a low voice, "Is the seed in that woman's stomach the seed of the Zeng family?"

Xu Yingyu shook her head, affirming, "No."

"That's good." Even if it is, it won't affect the Xu family.Of course, no, for the best.

"Father, you don't know that Zeng Jing looks good from the outside, he is really not a generous person." Xu Yingyu said, "His temper, he really went to Huajie Liuxiang, with his skills, I'm afraid Those flower girls can't see him."

"But this woman is not simple this time. She said she is a peasant girl from the south, but I think her hands are white and soft. It is absolutely impossible for her to do heavy work." Xu Yingyu frowned slightly, "Let me interrogate The boys around Zeng Jing, it was this woman who took the initiative and ran into Zeng Jing's arms on the day of the Lantern Festival. Although the method is clumsy, it is useful for such an idiot as Zeng Jing."

"Father, there are so many rich and high-ranking sons in the imperial capital. The Lantern Festival is so lively. Why doesn't she bump into others and just throw herself in the arms of Zeng Jing?" Hooked up with a man outside and got pregnant."

"No matter how I think about it, I feel that there is something strange about it. If I don't tell my father, I'm still not at ease."

Xu Yingyu's eyes looked at her father, Xu San pursed her lips slightly, and remained silent in thought.
