The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 104

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ma Ju’s family held a banquet. It turned out that the old man of the Ma family went to Beijing with his son to rush for the exam. The old man failed the exam without any suspense this time. The young master of the Ma family was admitted to Jinshi and returned home years ago. Waiting for the notice from the Ministry of Officials.Originally thought that he would go to the capital to wait for a job, but now that he has moved to the south, this Jiangning has become the foot of the emperor.It just so happened that last year we didn't have a good one, so we invited guests to celebrate the New Year's Eve.

Usually there are only a few family members of the Xu family who walk around, but now that they have invited them, they naturally have to prepare a gift to come.Xie Yujiao got acquainted with the young lady of the Ma family again, so they came together.

The new Jinshi was wearing a big red robe, and he looked more handsome and unrestrained than before. Even Kang Guangshou, who usually seldom attended these mundane events, came to congratulate him.

Although Jiangning County is also a well-known county for humanities, there are not many people who have been admitted to Jinshi in recent years. The Ma family was not considered a top-notch family in Jiangning, but now that it is like this, it cannot be underestimated.

After Xie Yujiao and Mrs. Xu greeted a few familiar wives outside, they went to the backyard to look for Ma's young lady.Normally Xie Yujiao didn't have any close friends, but Ma's young mistress was modest and she could talk to her a few words.Ordinarily, on such a day, Ma's young mistress must be outside to greet guests, but just now Xie Yujiao only saw Mrs. Ma, so she went in by herself.

Xie Yujiao had just walked to the door when she heard a servant girl say in the room: "No matter how unhappy grandma is, she can't play this score on today's big day. My wife is busy outside. I'll find out later, and I'll find out again." Grandma's bad luck. No matter how big things happen, it will be better after today."

Xie Yujiao didn't know what was going on, so she heard the young lady of Ma's family say inside: "I'm so unhappy, I really can't laugh, if my wife looks strange in front of outsiders, my wife will scold me, why don't you just say my body It’s not fun, it’s fine if you don’t go out.”

Seeing that she didn't listen, the servant girl just sighed, and when she turned to go out, she saw Xie Yujiao coming from outside, so she sent a message inside: "Grandma, Miss Xie is here."

Hearing the words, Ma's young lady only said, "Please come in quickly."

Hearing this, Xie Yujiao just waved her hand to let the maid go first, then she pulled the curtain and went in. She saw Ma's young lady sitting in front of the big kang by the window, her brows were tightly frowned, and seeing Xie Yujiao, she only sighed. After all, he didn't say anything.

In fact, Xie Yujiao had also heard something about the Ma family when other wives chatted with Mrs. Xu earlier.The old man of the Ma family has taken the Jinshi examination seven or eight times in his life, but he has never passed the exam. It is strange to say that he was born as a son.At that time, Ma's young lady's natal family was a big landlord in Chunhua, and marrying the Ma family, who was on the verge of decline, was not considered high-ranking.

But now it is different, the young master of the Ma family was admitted to Jinshi all of a sudden, and the whole family has risen, and the young lady's family background has suddenly become the object of criticism by the family.Although the Ma family didn't do anything serious, they just wanted to take a concubine for their son because they saw that the young lady's stomach hadn't moved.

Just thinking about it, in the past few years when the young mistress married, the young master of the Ma family has been studying abroad, and he only sees him for a month in a year. It would be strange if he could conceive!

Seeing Xie Yujiao coming in, the young lady of the Ma family forced herself to look better, and was about to stand up to greet Xie Yujiao, but Xie Yujiao pressed her down and said, "You don't need to say anything. Few people are happy when encountering such a thing, but now But I don't know how to persuade you, but if the Ma family is going too far, at least if you tell me, you can always find someone to vent your anger on."

Since Xie Yujiao punished Jiang Guosheng, her reputation has spread far and wide. The young lady of the Ma family laughed through her tears when she heard this, and said depressedly: "I haven't reached that point yet. My husband is easy to say, but my mother-in-law is really impressive. ..."

Xie Yujiao naturally understood after hearing this, let alone her mother-in-law, even her own mother, would become unreasonable when encountering such a thing.A while ago, Mrs. Xu was also very pressing on Xie Yujiao to force her to marry her. Now that Zhou Tianhao has entered the house, the matter has finally come to an end.

"It's not a problem for you to hide like this. You still have to be honest anyway. It's better to listen to the girl's persuasion just now and go to the front. Now the one who won the Jinshi is your husband. In the future, the people he will contact and the things to do, It must be up to you to come forward, as long as you take care of these things, what can your mother-in-law do to you?"

Xie Yujiao heard that the wife of the Ma family was originally the cousin of the Ma family, and it is said that this status is even worse than that of the young mistress of the Ma family. Now she dares to act like this because she is relying on her status as a mother-in-law. In his capacity, he couldn't participate in the matter.

After hearing this, Ma's young lady also felt that there was some truth, so she pulled herself together and followed Xie Yujiao outside.

Kang Guangshou was talking to Xinke Scholars, when he saw Xie Yujiao coming out, he only rolled his eyes.The news of Zhou Tianhao's departure from the palace has not yet been reported, but he knows about Zhou Tianhao's stay at Xie's house for a few days before, and he doesn't know how the two are progressing now?

Xie Yujiao is not a shy person, it's just that if you ask her about this matter, she will be somewhat embarrassed.

Xie Yujiao saw Kang Guangshou giving him a look, and only said to Ma's young lady, and hurriedly avoided it.If Kang Guangshou wanted to find her, he must have nothing good to do.Last year's tax was paid in full, so it's better not to talk to him for the time being.

Kang Guangshou just blinked his eyes, and Xie Yujiao was gone, so he could only go and follow her.

The young lady of the Ma family walked up to Young Master Ma, seeing that the collar of the round-neck robe he was wearing was a bit messy, she just stretched out her hands to smooth it out for him, and said, "I shouldn't make trouble on your big day."

Young Master Ma was depressed because of this moment. When he saw his daughter-in-law came out to apologize to him, his heart softened. He didn't care about the crowds in front of the hall, so he said softly: "Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, your order will be given to me." It must be earned for you."

After hearing this, the Ma family's young lady melted away all the grievances in her heart.

In the hall in the backyard, Mrs. Xu was talking with several wives and grandmas, when she saw Xie Yujiao coming in from the front, she just called her over to say hello to you.Coincidentally, Mrs. He was also at the table.

Since the He family entered the city, many poor relatives in the countryside have lost contact. Originally, people like the Ma family invited them, and they might not be willing to come, but now that the young master of the Ma family has passed the Jinshi examination, he will become an official in the future Yes, with this relationship, Mrs. He brought the maid and mother-in-law together.

Xie Yujiao once heard that there was a girl in the He family who raised her like a beautiful girl since she was a child. She was only one year younger than herself, and she was supposed to be at the age to leave the court. But most girls at this age would go out with their mother. If you socialize around, it will be easier to find your husband's family in the future.

But Xie Yujiao had never seen this girl from the He family.

Mrs. He looked back and forth at Xie Yujiao's body several times, and a little thought came to her heart.It turned out that the daughter-in-law that the He family hired for He Wenhai earlier died of illness a few years ago.Now that He Wenhai is a widower at a young age, Mrs. He started looking for a wife for him again.Now after looking around coldly, I feel that Xie Yujiao is beautiful and has a good family, so this crooked thought came up again.

"Jiaojiao is really getting better and better." Mrs. He said while looking at Xie Yujiao.

Now that Mrs. Xu has a son-in-law like Zhou Tianhao, she would not like a hundred He Wenhai, but as a mother, she is sensitive about her daughter's marriage. Seeing what Mrs. He said, she smiled and said: " That's right, Ru Jiaojiao's marriage has also been settled, so I don't worry about it anymore."

Xie Yujiao wasn't ready to announce it to the public, but Xu's heart was very big. If she wanted to publicize it like this, it would be impossible for Xie Yujiao not to marry Zhou Tianhao in the future.Xie Yujiao decided that Xu's move must have been intentional. This move was too ruthless, killing both Xie Yujiao and Zhou Tianhao.She doesn't worry if Zhou Tianhao repents?
When Mrs. He heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and asked, "Jiaojiao has someone else? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

At this time, Mrs. Xu mentioned that Zhou Tianhao could wake up with a smile in her sleep. Seeing people asking her like this now, she became a little shy and said with a smile: "It was only decided during the Chinese New Year. Now our family has not Full service, this marriage will naturally have to wait until after the service is removed, and I will definitely post a post for you at that time."

Seeing Mrs. Xu's happy face, Mrs. He kept wondering in her heart, thinking that Xie Yujiao's reputation is already like this, what kind of good family can she find? Wenhai, our family, wants you, just to watch Your family still has a few coins, so is it possible that someone is willing to marry a tigress back home?

"Tell us quickly, who is the son of the family? How many acres of land does the family have? How many rooms? Who are the elders above?"

In fact, the Empress Empress came to Xie's house to propose marriage yesterday, some people saw it, but they didn't know that the empress was sitting here.So those who looked at Mrs. He's determination to keep Mrs. Xu from stepping down could only secretly laugh.Xie Yujiao is going to marry an unusual person this time, and Mrs. He is waiting to be slapped in the face.

Xie Yujiao didn't like Mrs. He in the first place, the way she looked at people was wrong, when she looked at herself, it was like looking at a commodity, Xie Yujiao would get angry if she looked at her a few more times.Seeing her interrogating like this now, I didn't want to be as fussy as they were, so I said casually: "Mom, don't talk about it, there is no such thing as a horoscope, it will make people laugh if you say it."

But for a person like Mrs. He, the more you don't talk about it, the more excited she will be, so she asked more and more chatteringly: "What's so embarrassing about it? If it doesn't work, your mother won't mention it in front of the big guys." , since it’s done, it’s not a big deal if you tell us about it now, we’ll still know about it when the post comes, but it’s just a novelty.”

It is rare for Mrs. Xu to have such a happy event, and she is eager to share it with everyone. Besides, Zhou Tianhao came to Xie's house alone again. Except for a close servant, he didn't even bring a few clothes. It looks like a visiting son-in-law .Xu Shi has nothing to be proud of in this life, but this day is enough for her to be proud for a lifetime.

"I don't know how many houses and how many acres of land his family has. I only know that he treats Jiaojiao very well. After we marry Jiaojiao in the future, he is willing to live in our house. That alone makes me happy."

When Mrs. He heard this, I'll go... It turned out that Xie's family took the initiative to become the son-in-law, so what kind of good could that be?The expression on Mrs. He's face suddenly became a bit disdainful, and she just smiled and said: "Your family now has a dynasty, it doesn't matter if Jiaojiao leaves the court, why do you still recruit a son-in-law? How many son-in-laws can there be Okay, the left is just for your family's money, I advise you to think about it carefully, don't let their family members take a fancy to your family's money, and then cheat you to thank your family?"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was a little puzzled, and after a moment of stunned, she said: "This...although we have been fighting for two years, the emperor and the empress are not going to just look at the money from our Xie family, right?"

Seeing that Mrs. Xu pulled the emperor and queen out, Mrs. He didn't react for a moment, she just laughed loudly and said: "The emperor and queen look at the Xie family's money, and you will die laughing if you tell it. Money, it won’t make them think about it.”

After Mrs. He said this, she felt that something was wrong, but she heard Mrs. Xu frowned and said: "What you said is also reasonable, I think they will look down on them, otherwise His Highness Prince Rui would not be alone People ran out, even though our Xie family doesn’t have much money, we can always afford a decent dowry, at least this amount.”

After Xu finished speaking, he only stretched out two fingers to compare. How many people present didn't know that the Xie family had silver, and 2 taels must not be justified. Doesn't Xu's comparison mean that if Xie Yujiao To leave the court, the dowry money must be as much as 20 taels.

Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to speak. Mrs. He was stunned for a while, and then she stammered and asked, "You...you said...your Jiaojiao's son-in-law is..."

Seeing that she was pretending to be similar, Mrs. Xu usually thought that Mrs. He was not pleasing to the eye, and now she came to attack Xie Yujiao again, damn it, so she took the opportunity to stab her.

"That's right, the one who wants to marry our family's Jiaojiao is none other than the present Prince Rui." After Xu Shi finished speaking, she felt a burst of joy in her heart.

Xie Yujiao saw that this matter had already been revealed, and she had no point in hiding it any longer, so she simply said: "Mother, you are wrong, he is now just a commoner, not His Highness Prince Rui anymore."

When everyone heard this, they were too frightened to speak. After taking a look at Xie Yujiao, they felt that she was so radiant that people couldn't look directly at her.

After lunch, Mrs. Xu and Xie Yujiao went back.On the way, Mrs. Xu was still nagging: "Then Mrs. He is really, she is also your elder, and she is thinking of some crooked brains. Then He Wenhai missed you again after his wife died. A bit too big."

Xu was too cautious before, but now that Xie Yujiao has such a good home, she suddenly feels like she has a backer, and she does things a little more generously.Today, she dared to lose Mrs. He's face for this matter, she really improved a lot.

Although Xie Yujiao felt that Mrs. Xu had told about her and Zhou Tianhao, she still felt a little awkward, but seeing Mrs. Xu's comfortable smile, she finally let her go.

Seeing that Xie Yujiao wasn't angry anymore, Mrs. Xu asked again: "Did you send someone to call for Zhou's doctor today? Brother Hao's illness is all right?"

When Xie Yujiao heard Xu's calling Zhou Tianhao, Brother Hao, goosebumps all over her body rose up. If Zhou Tianhao was there, she would definitely vomit blood from fright.

"The second housekeeper has been sent to invite the doctor of Ren'an Hall. The old doctor Zhou is also getting old. It's not good to always invite people to run back and forth like this. Besides, it's the New Year's Day. Who doesn't have a relative to walk around? of."

Mrs. Xu heard that what Xie Yujiao said was reasonable, so she didn't say anything.When the two went back, they happened to meet the doctor from Ren'an Hall, so Xie Yujiao personally invited him in to treat Zhou Tianhao.

In fact, Xie Yujiao would be able to bandage the wound a few more times, but she was afraid that the cold weather would cause inflammation again, so it slowed down.After seeing it, the doctor said that the doctor who prescribed the medicine before had drawn up the prescription very well, and now I can only rest for a while. As long as the wound does not collide violently and the water disappears, it will be almost healed after a while. .

Xie Yujiao changed the medicine for Zhou Tianhao, asked the maids to go out with their things, and went to the clean room to wash their hands. When she came out, she saw Zhou Tianhao sitting on the edge of the bed in a robe.The bridge of the nose is handsome and straight, which makes people's hearts move more and more.

Xie Yujiao just wondered in her heart, why didn't she think he was so good-looking before?Could it be that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

Zhou Tianhao turned his head and saw Xie Yujiao looking at him with a slightly absent-minded expression, so he smiled and said, "Why? The more I look at it, the more I like it?"

Xie Yujiao was caught in the heart for a moment, shy and shy, clenched her fists and pouted her lips, but Zhou Tianhao pulled her into his arms all of a sudden, and only held those slender wrists behind her back, bullying her. Kissed.How could Xie Yujiao's petite body resist Zhou Tianhao's strong and burly body? Once his body softened, he was crushed underneath.

Zhou Tianhao also fell down, their chests pressed against their chests, and the tips of their noses were almost touching the tips of their noses.Warm breath came over his face.Xie Yujiao could vaguely smell the faint scent of Jinchuang ointment on Zhou Tianhao's body.

"You... don't move around." She frowned and stared at him.

"You don't move, and neither do I." Zhou Tianhao looked at Xie Yujiao and smiled playfully.

"I..." Xie Yujiao originally wanted to say that I would not move, but if she said that, wouldn't it mean that she was still being slaughtered?Then she twisted her arm and moved it again, but her little effort was still in vain in front of Zhou Tianhao.

Zhou Tianhao frowned slightly, Xie Yujiao thought she had bumped into his wound, and said depressedly: "I told you not to move around."

As expected, Xie Yujiao didn't dare to move anymore, so Zhou Tianhao lowered his head and rubbed against her skirt, feeling that the sensitive little spot seemed to move. , I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a hole to get in.

If you are looking for an indigenous man, you must be honest and honest. I am afraid that you will not dare to go beyond the wedding night.But I met Zhou Tianhao, a demon star, in my unlucky life.Such a person who can eat human tofu is really going to die!
It was wet, as if water was leaking, and then let go of Xie Yujiao, kissed her on the lips, stood up and smiled and said: "When did I break my promise, I said I would wait until then One day." It's just that before that, practice first, so that you won't panic on that day.

Of course, Zhou Tianhao didn't dare to let Xie Yujiao hear the second half of the sentence, otherwise, he might not want to heal his injuries.

Xie Yujiao pulled up her skirt, her cheeks were flushed, and she was half leaning on the bed. Seeing Zhou Tianhao's smiling face, she said ruthlessly, "You... If you dare to touch me again, don't blame me for kicking you out!"

After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she just stood up and ran away without looking back.Zhou Tianhao also became anxious this time, but this time he really went too far and annoyed Jiaojiao.
