embarrassment for man and wife

The carriage was swaying all the way, and in the carriage, Xie Junnan accompanied Zhuohua, chatting with everyone about what happened in the capital these days, but regarding Lian Ying's promotion to a Beijing official, Zhuohua hesitated again and again, after all, he still didn't say anything Maybe it was because Zhuohua didn't know how to tell his parents about this matter, so he just kept his mouth shut. While chatting, the carriage stopped slowly, and someone shouted from outside: "Master, madam, we are going to town. The general's mansion is gone."

Chen Shi and Li Mu were obviously taken aback, they couldn't help pushing open the window and looking outside.

The vermilion gate, blue tiles and white bricks, especially the two stone lions in front of the gate are even more imposing.

The Chen family and Li Mu looked at each other, both of them were obviously surprised. When they were in Taocheng before, the mansion of the biggest official was not so magnificent, but this town army general's mansion...in the Chen family In the eyes of Li Mu, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the palace.

Lijiu spit out the straw in his mouth, jumped off the carriage and welcomed Mrs. Chen and others out of the carriage one by one, then walked towards the vermilion gate, patted on the door vigorously, and then the gate opened slowly, and the inside came out. The young man looks young, but he is full of energy.

Rumjiu patted him on the head, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy! Why are you still blocking the door? The general's sister and brother-in-law are here, why don't you open the door to greet him!".

Hearing this, the young man was obviously shocked, and hastily pushed open the door with both hands: "Your Excellency must be Master Lijiu! Little Wang Fu!".

As Wang Fu said, he hurriedly bowed to the wine, and let another guy at the door go in to inform the housekeeper.

Mrs. Chen, Li Mu and the others were only standing beside the carriage. They turned their heads and looked around. On the one hand, they felt that the walls of this house were so big that they could hardly see the sides. On the other hand, they felt that the entrance of the gate was facing the street. The season is cold, there are fewer pedestrians and vendors, so it may be more lively.

Xiaoliu and Xiaoyue stood together, their faces were exactly the same, they were delicate and good-looking, although they were wearing rough clothes, but this did not affect the pedestrians passing by on the street looking at them frequently, with curiosity and surprise on their faces, like It's like looking at something strange.

Pursing her lips, Xiao Liu pulled Rumjiu's sleeve: "Uncle Rumjiu, will we... live here from now on?".

Ruojiu turned to look at her: "Yes, you will live here from now on, you will be served and taken care of, so you don't have to work as hard as before."

This is a happy event, but Xiao Liu showed a bit of worry: "But... living here, will there be too many rules here? Is it true that after living here, you can't speak loudly, you can't eat big, and you can't Can't you run or jump?"

Xiao Liuwen's childlike innocence, but her small face is full of seriousness, even Xiaoyue is staring at Xingjiu sullenly, as if she is going to go home as long as Xingjiu says a word, of course not.

Everyone looked at the pair of sisters and couldn't help but smile, but why didn't Chen and Li Mu have such worries in their hearts?After all, they are just poor people in the countryside. How come they come to such a rich place, I'm afraid they will be out of place...

Ruojiu pursed his lips and smiled, raised his hand to rub Xiao Liu and Xiaoyue's heads: "Xiao Liu is not afraid, you are the nieces of the general, you don't have to follow the bullshit rules like the ladies of other families! The niece of the general , you have to have the aura of being a heroine! Do you know!?".

In a word, it seemed that this made the two girls completely relieved, and their originally tense faces suddenly seemed to burst out of laughter.

The box was talking, and at the gate, the steward led a group of servants from the mansion to greet them in a hurry. The servants in the mansion formed a row, and the maidservants formed another row. Standing in the front yard in an orderly manner, the steward is about thirty or so, with a natural and elegant face, but his temples are slightly white. When he walked out of the gate, he saw a group of people outside the door. Shi and Li Mu bowed to each other and saluted: "Your subordinate, Wang Yan, pay respects to the master and madam! I have seen the young master and the two young ladies!".

This address immediately made Chen and the others startled.

Xie Jiu smiled at the Chen family and the others: "Ma'am, don't panic, Wang Yu used to follow the general in the army, but he was seriously injured later, so he should not stay on the battlefield anymore, that's why he came to the capital. One's own people don't need to be restrained."

Chen groaned, Li Mu nodded, and immediately looked at Wang Man with a little concern: "Then your injuries are all healed now?".

Wang Man smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xie, the injury has healed up, it's just... the skills I learned at the beginning are useless, but it's okay, now I'm still following the general, and I'm in this capital, so I have a place to stay It's the place to go." While talking, Wang Yan's expression changed, and he said again: "Master, madam, it's cold outside, everyone should go in first before talking, everything in the mansion has been arranged."

Rum Jiu also urged on the side, and then everyone stepped into the gate.

The people standing in the front yard saw that the people outside had just entered the door, and they all knelt down and saluted one by one.It was just a battle, and Xiaoliu and Xiaoyue subconsciously hid behind Ziqing immediately, and Chen Shi and Li Mu were also uncomfortable.

Zhuo Hua and Xie Junnan walked side by side, the two of them lagged behind, watching the movement around, Zhuo Hua couldn't help but started to lose his mind secretly again.

The third quarter of the ugly hour of the Renxu year.

This is my uncle's horoscope, and it is also the horoscope given to me by Aunt Hai. From the looks of it now, the person who changed his fate is still my brother-in-law. Because of his relationship, the whole family has skyrocketed, and it is also because of his relationship. My marriage needs to be changed... It seems that my brother-in-law really has to hold on to his thigh!

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Junnan's voice was soft in his ear.

Zhuohua blurted out, "I'm thinking about my uncle".

"Um?".

"I've decided, from now on, I will hold on to my brother-in-law's big Buddha tightly!" Zhuo Hua said very resolutely! .

Xie Junnan: "...".

For a moment, the prospect felt worrisome.

After entering the mansion, Wang Man led Li Mu and Chen Shi to the backyard to freshen and change clothes, and then asked the two nuns who had arranged earlier to take Xiaoyue Xiaoliu to their boudoir to change clothes, and then ordered the servants to lead them to change clothes. Ziqing went to his yard and dismissed everyone, only Zhuohua and Xie Junnan were left here.

Because Xie Junnan stayed in the army earlier, so he is no stranger to Wang Miao, now seeing Wang Mian's prosperity here, Xie Junnan smiled lightly and said: "In that battle back then, I thought you had already retired from the army. I returned home, but I didn’t expect to come here.”

Wang Man smiled slightly at him: "I also thought my life was over like this, but fortunately, I was with the right person back then."

Zhuo Hua was suspicious and couldn't help asking: "Back then? What happened?".

Wang Man glanced at him, smiled lightly, and explained the matter to himself: "Not long after we joined the army, we encountered a few tough battles. Later, I was too seriously injured and physically exhausted, so I couldn't continue to participate in the war. The marshal decided to send us seriously injured soldiers back to the village. In the second year after I returned home, General Wan Teng came to look for me. Later, he let me accompany me in secret all the time. We joined forces and did a lot of things. Originally, the general wanted me to re-enroll in the army, but I refused." Wang Yan patted his leg: "It's not bad if I can walk now with this leg. It’s impossible to go forward again, and then the general saw that I was alone, so he let me come here to be the steward here, and it also gave me a place to settle down!”.

Ruanjiu listened, and slapped Wang Qiang on the shoulder: "Your boy, you say you are in charge here, but isn't there a deputy housekeeper who takes care of all these things for you? You, your boy is here to take care of you." Blessings come every day."

Wang Man coughed lightly and confessed.

Wan Chengxiu was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable living here for free, so he called him the manager here. Brothers who have lived through life and death understand this kind of words.

Xie Junnan listened, and smiled: "It's no wonder that Wan Qixiu was able to pass all the way. From a young recruit, he climbed to the position of a general with only a few years of hard work. His heart is also true. It's really worth it."

"Our general is of course worth it!" Li Jiu couldn't help but said, "When we first joined the army, we were often bullied by veterans. Only our general dared to come out to fight with veterans, and even tidied up the veterans. They For us brothers, that is really nothing to say!".

A few people were talking outside, under the corridor, Chen Shi and Li Mu, who had changed their clothes, came one after another, and Lian Ziqing and the pair of little sisters also walked over under the leadership of the nanny.

The ancients used to say that people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold clothes. Chen and Li Mu, who have changed their clothes, have become completely different from before, especially Chen, who has obviously been well-dressed, which is rare. There is a bit of grace in her face, but the carefully drawn eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Wan Qixiu.Not to mention the two younger sisters and Ziqing, each of them is exquisite and beautiful like a flower. If Ziqing is given a folding fan, maybe he can pretend to be a talented man full of knowledge.

Seeing these, Zhuo Hua couldn't help opening his eyes slightly, obviously extremely surprised, his naked eyes made Chen Shi and his two younger sisters feel uncomfortable for a while.

Li Jiu laughed loudly, as if he had finally made a deal, Wang Qian also nodded to everyone, and then talked about some situations in the mansion with Chen Shi, Li Mu and others, and led them to the mansion by the way. Turn around briefly to familiarize yourself with the environment. Compared with before, at this moment, everyone is wearing thick fox balls, furry collars around their necks, and everyone is holding a small hand warmer in their arms. The iron stove kept watching Xiaoliu and Xiaoyue in amazement, they didn't even feel cold when the breeze blew over, they just followed Wang Man one by one, listening to the situation in the mansion.

Zhuohua followed behind the crowd, originally he was full of energy, but he didn't know if he got up too early today and didn't get enough sleep, so he walked with them for a while, and couldn't help feeling sleepy, but he wanted to Seeing that his parents had just arrived in the capital, and his uncle was not here at the moment, Zhuohua couldn't bear to leave them to go to sleep by himself, so he suppressed his sleepiness all the way and accompanied them around.

During this company, it was almost after dusk. After the meal, everyone gathered around the table in the flower hall, and there was a large and exquisite iron cage in the middle. Burning warmly, Zhuo Hua sat in the corner, but he still couldn't hold back, propping his chin with one hand, although he looked like he was listening to everyone's words, but the way his eyes were drooping, it was obvious that he couldn't hold back anymore and began to doze off up.

Xie Junnan was talking with the others, when he turned his head away, he saw Zhuohua's appearance, he laughed in his heart, and just imagined that Mrs. Chen and others would leave and take Zhuohua back, but he didn't expect that as soon as he moved, there would be a servant outside the gate He ran in and said loudly: "I'm back! The general is back! I'm back!".

In a word, the atmosphere in the room was instantly ignited.Everyone was pleasantly surprised, but... Zhuohua who was beside Xie Junnan seemed not to hear him at all, and was still dozing off in his chair!

Seeing him like that, Xie Junnan couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and in a blink of an eye, someone came quickly outside the gate, and as soon as they entered the gate, they were surrounded by Mrs. Chen and others.
