The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 194 Maltose worth one copper penny

Dad Xie drank a bowl of soy milk at the breakfast stall, and then went to the bun shop to buy two vegetable buns. He ate them in his hands while listening to the gossips of people on the street.

The latest gossip in the capital is that the Miss Cui family has become the common wife of the elder of the Wei Mansion. Because of her good horoscope, this young lady was welcomed into the house by the Wei Mansion, specially for Mrs. Hu's birthday.

"If it's really for happiness, then Mrs. Hu, a sick doctor, can't do anything about it," a passerby said, "This is all for happiness."

No one refuted the question. Chongxi was not nonsense, and after going through all the masters of the Wei family, there was really only one Old Mrs. Hu who needed Chongxi.

"Then Miss Cui is pretty lucky," someone said enviously.

That was the Wei family. Even a little maid in the Wei family would have a better life than ordinary people like them.It is a nest of wealth. Who wouldn’t want to go there and enjoy the blessings?
"What if the wedding doesn't work out?" Someone asked such a question.

"Then finish the ball," someone muttered in a low voice.

Dad Xie sighed, isn't it just the end of the ball?

The idlers gathered together and began to discuss whether Miss Cui's appearance was outstanding.In everyone's general opinion, if Miss Cui is as beautiful as a flower, she will not be happy. She can compete with her appearance, but if her face is not good, then this young lady has no hope and will shrink her head in the Wei Mansion. As a human being, live peacefully until the day you die of old age.

"What does it mean to the Wei family to have one more person?"

In the midst of this discussion, Dad Xie squeezed out of the crowd and ate half of the two vegetable buns.Feeling that there was still a copper coin left in his pocket, Father Xie thought about what food he could buy with this coin.He wanted to take it back to Xie Jiuhuan.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind, and the sound of soldiers shouting at passers-by to get out of the way made people's ears hurt.As Father Xie made way to the street, he looked back and saw Xie Changjin, the commander of the imperial department, riding towards him on horseback, surrounded by several soldiers.

Dad Xie gnawed on the bun.

Xie Changjin rode over, then turned his horse and returned to Father Xie.

Father Xie looked up in surprise and saw Xie Changjin riding on a tall horse.

Xie Changjin got off his horse.

"Thank you, sir," the two men said to each other at the same time.

then……

This is the trouble with having the same surname. You are Mr. Xie, and my mother is also Mr. Xie. I can’t even understand you when I call you.

"Hahaha," Xie Changjin laughed and said, "Master Xie, you can call me by my name."

"I don't dare," Father Xie said politely: "Is the commander going on business?"

Xie Changjin: "Go to the palace."

Father Xie raised his hand to Xie Changjin. He couldn't ask any further questions about this matter.

Xie Changjin took care of Father Xie. This man, who was in the same field as Mr. Lin, had decent looks. Just by looking at him, you couldn't tell that he was a slacker.

"Master Xie, what is this?" Xie Changjin asked Father Xie.

Dad Xie: "Come to the street for breakfast."

Thank you Commander and his soldiers: "..."

When it was time to go to the Yamen to work, you were eating breakfast on the street, and you still said it so calmly?

"Oh, what about that," Xie Changjin said, "I heard that the wedding date of the lady in the house and Master Lin is scheduled for the seventh day of April. Congratulations."

Father Xie smiled very reservedly. He didn't want to be in such a hurry, but he couldn't help it.

Xie Changjin didn't think that it was the Xie family who brought up the matter of bringing forward the wedding date. It must have been brought up by the Lin family. Who knows what went wrong with Fourth Young Master Lin. "I have to go to the house to ask for a wedding drink at that time," Xie Changjin said to Father Xie: "Mr. Xie, you must not let me in."

"Ah, definitely," Father Xie didn't take Xie Changjin's words seriously. This man also went to the Duke of Qin's mansion to drink the wedding wine. What kind of wine would he drink at his house?

Xie Changjin sighed again.

Dad Xie: "What?"

Xie Changjin: "On the seventh day of April, my father and my mother-in-law are also going to Beijing. What a coincidence."

Father Xie: "Oh? General Xie and his wife are coming to Beijing?"

Xie Changjin: "I am going to Beijing to report on my work. By then, he will be able to drink the fourth young master's wedding wine. I will have no luck in drinking."

Father Xie laughed and said, "Then the commander will have his family reunited."

Xie Changjin's expression suddenly looked not good. He cupped his hands at Father Xie and said, "I still have official duties to attend to, so I have to take a step forward. Mr. Xie, I'll see you later."

Dad Xie gave Xie Changjin a gift in return.

Xie Changjin got back on his horse, urged the horse and headed towards the imperial palace.

Father Xie stood on the street and looked at the direction Xie Changjin was going for a long time, and then slowly walked towards Yuansheng Lane.

"Master, you are so polite to Mr. Xie," one of his soldiers muttered to Xie Changjin.

Xie Changjin: "What's the matter? He is Mr. Lin's in-laws, how can I make fun of him?"

The soldiers sneered, that was definitely not possible.

"It's difficult to be an official in the capital," Xie Changjin sighed: "Who am I not pretending to be a grandson to?"

Even when he was facing Chief Wei, he had to suppress his fist bump. He didn't know when the days of pretending to be a grandson would end.

"What do you think I think?" Xie Changjin complained to the soldiers again, "My place has been sorted out for them, and they just want to live with my elder brother. Isn't this going to cost my life? That house is all It has been deserted for more than ten years, how can we clean it up?"

None of the soldiers dared to pick up on their master's words. Mr. Xie, this is a taboo topic in the Xie family and no one can bring it up.Moreover, Master, you are just complaining, how dare you not clean it up?
Sure enough, after complaining, Xie Changjin said, "I'll go over tonight."

Not only did he have to clean it up, he also had to clean it up with his own hands.

When Father Xie came home, Xie Jiuhuan had already packed away half a basket of small fish. When he saw his father coming in, Xie Jiuhuan smiled and shouted: "Dad is back."

Dad Xie stuffed a piece of candy the size of a fingernail into Xie Jiuhuan's mouth, and whispered: "You can only buy so much with one copper coin. Don't say anything, don't let boy Shiquan find out."

Xie Jiuhuan squinted and nodded, "It's maltose, it's delicious!"

"Dad," Xie Shiquan stood behind Dad Xie, with a look of resentment on his face, and said, "Next time you talk to Sister Jiu, look at the person first."

He is standing in the yard, what are you two whispering?There’s sugar, right?Not for him, right?Xie Shiquan decided that he was going to cause trouble!
"Go and see the water," Ms. Miao turned to scold Xie Shiquan and said, "How old are you, why do you still eat sweets? Men love to eat sweets. This should not be laughed at? You should be more angry."

Xie Shiquan almost stopped crying, "Lin Shanjun also loves sweets. He ate all the sweets at home yesterday."

His future ninth brother-in-law was also a ruthless person. His eighth sister had just brought a jar of candy to his home, but this one actually ate it all without even leaving a piece for him. How cruel!

"He was the one who brought the prawns last night," Miao said without giving her son any good looks, "Why don't you eat less? If you want to make such a fuss, you won't eat anything the fourth young master brings from now on."

Xie Shiquan: "..."

He must not be from this family, the truth must be like this!
