The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 8 Discriminating Reasons Between Words

The third master, Sheng Xiangxun, was still a little dazed when Lianxin found him. When he saw his wife Zheng Shi, he almost forgot that he was still holding a delicate box.

"No, why is there something about the Qin family?"

Sheng Xiangxun put the box in the maid's hand, sat down with his robes on, and asked Zheng Shi with a puzzled expression, "Is the news accurate?"

Mrs. Zheng shook her head with her drowsy little girl in her arms: "I don't know. Mrs. Wu suddenly broke the news. I was not sure, so I called you back."

What Sheng Xiangxun wanted to say, he suddenly noticed the big fat girl in his wife's arms, and was immediately surprised: "No, you are not tired of holding it, hurry up and call the maid to carry it back."

As he spoke, he still stretched out his hand to pinch the chubby cheek of his fat girl.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng was horrified, and hurriedly stopped her: "Don't move! If you wake her up, you can coax her yourself!"

Sheng Xiangxun: "..." Thinking of his daughter's sound like a bell, he suddenly felt terrified, and retracted his hand awkwardly, not daring to say anything about being taken away.

"Forget it, let's talk in a low voice, and we won't disturb her."

Mrs. Zheng ignored his request, and reminded him with a frown: "Although I'm not sure about Mrs. Wu's identification, her family members are now under our control. How dare she cheat? But if what she said is true It's true, then the Qin family...what's the benefit of doing this?"

The Qin family is Sheng Xiangxun's natal family. Although they are not on good terms with each other, there is no reason to fight against each other!After all, looking at the capital, if the uncle and nephew had an unresolvable feud, who would look good?

Zheng Shi comforted herself in this way, and gradually she felt a little more confident.

But at this moment, she suddenly remembered her husband's temper, and immediately, the confidence that she had just gathered in her heart disappeared.

She tentatively asked: "Sanlang, you didn't do anything to the Qin family before, did you?"

Sheng Xiangxun asked his wife to ask this question, as if he was not sure: "Is it...does it count as the dowry that the uncle and grandpa are trying to get back to the grandmother?"

Zheng pressed his forehead and said nothing.

Sheng Xiangxun was still thinking about it: "It's not right, this matter was settled before you and I got married. Time has passed and it's been so long, so it shouldn't happen!"

Zheng Shi gently rocked Sheng Yuan, who was sleeping out of a small snoring, thinking to himself, and for a moment, suggested to Sheng Xiangxun: "How about I ask Dad to help check?"

"It's not right!" Sheng Xiangxun just waved his hand and refused, "I always feel that things are not that simple. If I let my father-in-law participate rashly, I'm afraid of causing trouble for Mrs. Zheng. Let me think about it."

Since he said something wrong, Zheng didn't force it, and patted Sheng Yuan lightly, his eyes touched the wooden box in Tang Xin's hand, and he couldn't help asking: "What's in the box brought by Sanlang?"

"Oh, I bought the fireworks." Sheng Xiangxun was still thinking about something, so he said it without thinking too much.

"Fireworks? It's not a festival, you buy so many?" Mrs. Zheng couldn't understand.

Speaking of this, Sheng Xiangxun became excited: "Hey, these fireworks are attached. I thought it would be a bit monotonous if only setting off firecrackers. I bought some beautiful fireworks to add to the fun, and I will also show it to our sister Anthracen and Sister Yuan." lively."

Zheng thought, maybe he just wanted to watch the excitement.

"Okay, why are you setting off firecrackers?"

Sheng Xiangxun took a sip of tea, and proudly showed off to Mrs. Zheng: "I don't want to call a meeting in the mansion to talk about Mrs. Wu's affairs! I think the old man definitely doesn't take it seriously, and the brothers in the mansion may not be willing to cooperate. , so I plan to have a good time to visit Xianger in the evening, gongs and firecrackers, if they don't have a meeting, they won't be able to sleep! The house is full of excitement!"

Zheng Shi: "..." If she hadn't hugged the fat girl, she would really caress her heart!

"How did you come up with it!"

"When I was eating tea in a teahouse, I heard someone talking about this method, so..."

Zheng Shi said it casually, and Sheng Xiangxun replied reflexively, but as he talked, he felt something was wrong.

The couple looked at each other.

"No! It's too wrong! You have to stroke it!"

Mrs. Zheng thought further: "As the saying goes, one can be the other, and the two can't be repeated. Sister Yuan this time...is it the third time?"

Sheng Xiangxun followed his wife's words and recalled: "The first time, when you were just pregnant with Sister Yuan, the surname Chang had a headache. The old man tossed all over the house, and then brought her niece and daughter..."

Although he sat upright, he was a little awkward when talking about Madam Chang arranging for his niece to approach him.

Zheng's temperament is very strong, whether he is recruited or fooled by the illusion created by the other party, it is enough to hurt the fetus.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng and him trusted each other, so they were not fooled.

Thinking of this, Sheng Xiangxun looked at the fat girl in his wife's arms, and suddenly felt that he was being soft-hearted at the time, and he just "sent" her back to Chang's house, which was really cheap for them!

Seeing that Sheng Xiangxun was a little embarrassed, Mrs. Zheng changed the subject: "The second time was when Sister Shengyuan was a child. Madam Yang was careful, and arranged for someone to check it again when I first started it, and only then did I find something was wrong. son of a bitch.

They actually made double preparations, if they gave birth to a young man, they would make the child weaker, and if they gave birth to a young lady, they would not take any risks.

It's just that they don't want me to regenerate no matter what. "

She said it calmly, as if she no longer cared about the other party's calculations, but Sheng Xiangxun felt extremely guilty when she heard it.

When he first asked for a wife, he solemnly promised his father-in-law that he would never take a concubine in his life.

He and his wife already had a son and a daughter. If his wife had no more children, then he would only have this son and a daughter. In this case, he would not be a big threat to anyone in the mansion.

Although he and his wife had long planned that the child would not be born again, regardless of gender, outsiders did not know about it. This shows how vicious the person who planned it was.

When he knew about this at the time, he really wanted to make a big fuss, but Mrs. Liang was involved in the matter, and the old man wished he could turn his heart to the spine, and wished he could put all the responsibility on Mrs. Liang.

Although he is the master of suffering, one of the two parties involved is his nominal mother and the other is his real father. In this Dachu who uses filial piety and reason, not to mention that his wife and children are safe and sound, even if he is calculated, he will not It is impossible to do anything with them.

So in the end, he could only swear harsh words in front of the old man, and by the way provoke the surname Chang and Mrs. Liang, and finally let it go.

Thinking of this, Sheng Xiangxun felt even more uncomfortable. For a while, he didn't dare to look up at his wife and daughter.

Still Mrs. Zheng couldn't bear his suffering, deliberately skipped this topic, and talked about this time Mrs. Wu conspired.

"The pill that Mrs. Wu brought, I saw the imperial physician, and they said that putting it on the navel of the child would cause the child to develop a rash."

"It's this kind of method again!" Sheng Xiangxun gritted his teeth.

When he said this, he didn't feel that the other party had acted lightly, but that he felt that it was impossible for him to severely punish the other party due to the calculation of such effects.

"The purpose of the previous few times still makes sense, but sister Yuan is born, why did they design it like this?"

"You said just now that one can be two, but two can't be changed again?" Sheng Xiangxun remembered this sentence, his eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh hard, and said excitedly, "I figured it out!"
