The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 106

Since Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wei heard yesterday that Xie's son-in-law is a prince, they were so curious that they couldn't sleep at night, thinking that they must come to Xie's house today to have a good look.

Normally, when they looked at the magistrate Kang Guangshou, their eyes were already shining. Now that the wife of the county magistrate had died only half a year ago, someone secretly wanted to introduce Kang Guangshou to him.It's just that although they have this idea, the Kang family is the home of the emperor's teacher in the capital. Even if Mr. Kang is just a small county magistrate in Jiangning County, his future future is limitless. How could he marry a local tyrant? What about the girl at home?So everyone thought about it secretly, but no one really said it yet.

But just when everyone thought that such a marriage was completely impossible, there was a prince who fell in love with Miss Xie's family. This is big news!Among this group of respectable wives and grandmas in Jiangning County, who doesn't know Xie Yujiao?Good looks are second to none, the main thing is that the things she does are really awe-inspiring.Such a girl is married into the door, I am afraid that she is also a restless daughter-in-law.Now there are still people who are willing to go to his house to open the door, and he is still a prince...

Could it be that the prince has some hidden disease?

Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wei were thinking about each other while drinking tea.Xu Shi was not nervous at all.Zhou Tianhao was handsome, with a tall and straight body. Compared with men of his age in the south, he was much bulkier.He has been on the battlefield again, although he usually has a smiling face, but when he is serious, he really has the demeanor of a general.Xu really likes Zhou Tianhao from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Yujiao wiped her red and swollen lips and followed behind Zhou Tianhao. This guy is out of shape, so it's better to follow him.

Mrs. Xu saw that Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wei had both drunk tea, and said with a smile on her face: "Now our family is still in Xiaozhong, and we will not get rid of it until Qingming this year, so this marriage will probably be delayed for some time. , it’s just that the two wives must be invited over at that time.”

Mrs. Qi usually has a smiling face. After hearing this, she said: "Yes, in the blink of an eye, three years have passed for Mr. Xie. I think that every New Year's day, our master would go to your house to walk around and talk to Mr. Xie." Let's have a few drinks together."

Mrs. Xu also sighed a little. In the blink of an eye, Xie Yujiao's 14-year-old girl is now seventeen, and she is more and more charming. If Master Xie is still there, she must be in a hurry to find her right now. Come from my in-laws.

Just as Xu was thinking, suddenly the curtain flashed outside, even if the little maid held the curtain rolled up by her heels, Zhou Tianhao still walked in low.When the two wives saw each other, they put down the teacups in their hands in a hurry and stood up, feeling a little cramped for a moment.

Normally, when they met the magistrate, they had to salute, but now they are meeting the prince again, should they kneel down?Mrs. Qi gave Mrs. Wei a wink, and Mrs. Wei forgot to look at Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu stood up and was about to meet Zhou Tianhao when she saw him turn around and lift the curtain behind him with his own hands, seeing that Xie Yujiao was going up the platform and was about to go inside.

Seeing Zhou Tianhao personally pick up the curtains for herself, Xie Yujiao finally calmed down a little. She just raised her eyes and glanced at him. When she entered, she saw Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wei standing there awkwardly.

Xie Yujiao introduced to the two of them with a smile on her face: "This is... His Royal Highness Prince Rui today." Xie Yujiao was a little confused when she said this, and she didn't know if the emperor had cut Zhou Tianhao's title. What should I do if I am not a prince?But he was also a prince after all, so it shouldn't matter.

Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wei looked at Zhou Tianhao with admiration in their eyes. Even the young mistress of the Qi family, who was sitting beside her, half covered her face with a veil, and gave Zhou Tianhao a sneaky look.On the other hand, Mrs. Wei's daughter is only ten years old, so she doesn't think there is anything special about Zhou Tianhao and ordinary men.

Zhou Tianhao cupped his hands to the two of them and said, "Please sit down, ladies."

Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wei couldn't think of saluting at this time, and they sat down when they heard him call to sit down.Zhou Tianhao took advantage of the situation and sat down on a row of chairs on the left and right in the hall.

Xie Yujiao sat down next to him, raised her head and glanced quietly, seeing that his eyes were neither humble nor overbearing, as if she was used to such scenes, she felt a little amused in her heart.Presumably he has often experienced this kind of thing being treated like a monkey since he was a child.

It was meant to see people, and now I really see them.Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wei sighed in their hearts. Sure enough, comparing goods is worth throwing away, and people are dying compared to others!At first, they thought that the young master of the Ma family was average in appearance, and that he was a bit dull in reading and reading, so they didn't think there was anything good about it.But in the blink of an eye, he was admitted to Jinshi.Mrs. Ma immediately became the mother of a Jinshi, and she suddenly felt that she had risen to a higher level. When talking to them yesterday, she still had a faint feeling of superiority.

Mrs. Xu is usually the most modest person, and she stabbed Mrs. He yesterday, and now she is going to become the prince's mother-in-law again, it seems that this flattery has to be done sooner.

"Sure enough, she is a good-looking talent, among the dragons and phoenixes. Your Jiaojiao is really not an ordinary person. To find such a desirable person, this is really flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix."

Xie Yujiao happened to be drinking water, and when she heard this, she almost choked and laughed. Zhou Tianhao saw her at the side, and hurriedly handed her a handkerchief, stroking her back and comforting her: "You can even choke when you drink tea." , be careful."

Xie Yujiao raised her head and gave him winks, then glanced at Mrs. Qi, as if to say: Did you hear what they were talking about?

Zhou Tianhao still had a smile on his face, it didn't look like he didn't hear her. Seeing that her lips were stained with tea and slightly swollen, she looked more and more charming, and felt her throat hot and dry.If it wasn't in front of so many people, he really wanted to try it again.

Xie Yujiao saw that his eyes were complicated, so she just gave him a hard look and turned her head away.

Zhou Tianhao smiled and said: "It's really ridiculous to say that, although I used to be Prince Rui, but now I'm penniless, and I depend on Jiaojiao to support me."

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao's cheeks became more and more feverish, she was really shameless, she said all these words.But even so, Xie Yujiao felt warm in her heart, and when she looked up again, her eye sockets felt warm.

Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Wei, was fine after hearing this. The young mistress of the Qi family is also a new daughter-in-law who has just passed the family. Usually, Master Qi treats her indifferently. After hearing Zhou Tianhao's words, she felt sore in her heart and only hated herself. It's a bad life, and I can't meet such a man, so I bowed my head and shed tears.Feeling that it was inappropriate, he hurriedly wiped it off again, still with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu also sighed in her heart, such a good door-to-door son-in-law can't be found even with a lantern.

Seeing the smile on Xu's face deepened, Zhou Tianhao thought that he must have earned enough face for his mother-in-law today, and the days to come will be easier.

Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wei left without lunch. During the New Year's Eve, the wives who are in charge of the house have busy schedules. Xie Yujiao and Mrs. Xu personally escorted them to the door.Zhou Tianhao was still sitting in the main room at the moment, when he suddenly saw the curtain flicker outside, but no one came in.Zhou Tianhao put down the tea cup, looked towards the curtain twice, saw a small figure moving around outside, and said with a smile: "Chaozong, come in quickly, brother-in-law, I have already seen you."

Hearing this, the small body outside didn't dare to move immediately. With a grunt, he stretched his neck in through the curtain. After seeing Zhou Tianhao, his big eyes narrowed into crescents with a smile, and then he strode over with all his strength. He walked out of the door, stretched out two hands that resembled lotus root segments, and walked towards Zhou Tianhao, while saying, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, Chaozong wants to hug."

Zhou Tianhao stretched out his left hand, hugged Xie Chaozong on his knees, and rubbed his tender face with stubble.

Xie Chaozong blinked his eyes and glanced at Zhou Tianhao, stretched out his fingers and poked Zhou Tianhao's chest lightly, and asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, sister said you have a big hole in your body, can you tell Chaozong about it?" Where is it? If Chaozong doesn't touch it, Chaozong will take a look."

Zhou Tianhao smiled and asked, "Does Chaozong like to see big holes?"

Xie Chaozong thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't like it."

"Then why do you want to watch it if you don't like it?"

This question seems to be a bit difficult for Xie Chaozong. He frowned hard and thought for a while, then said: "Sister said, as long as there are no holes in brother-in-law, you can play with Chaozong every day."

"So? Why did Chaozong look at the hole?" Zhou Tianhao just continued to ask him.

Xie Chaozong pouted suddenly, glanced at Zhou Tianhao secretly, and finally curled his lips and said: "Chaozong wants to fill up that hole, so that brother-in-law can play with Chaozong every day."

Zhou Tianhao couldn't help laughing, cleared his throat, and said to Xie Chaozong solemnly: "Didn't Chaozong just say that if you don't touch Chaozong, just take a look?"

Xie Chaozong's little trick was seen through by Zhou Tianhao, and the child didn't know how to play too much, so he felt extremely wronged, with tears in his little eyes, and suddenly burst into tears, looking very sad.

Zhou Tianhao's head was getting dizzy at this time, he knew that Xiaowa lied to him first, shouldn't he be the one who should cry?Why did he cry first?Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to cleanse yourself.

"Don't cry, be good, don't cry, brother-in-law, even if there is a hole in his body, he can still hug Chaozong every day, let Chaozong make a small plane, okay?"

When Xie Chaozong heard this, he burst into tears and smiled, and asked him with tears on his face: "Brother-in-law, is he not lying to Chaozong?"

Zhou Tianhao was almost speechless. The child who looked like a villain was taught by Xie Yujiao. He just stretched out his little finger helplessly and said with a smile: "Come on, let's hang on the hook for 100 years and not change."

Xie Chaozong kept nodding his head, and Zhou Tianhao hurriedly said, "However, you can't tell your sister, understand?"

When eating lunch at noon, Zhou Tianhao's right hand couldn't straighten up again.He happily ate with his left hand. Xie Yujiao saw that there was a smile on his face, and she thought to herself that this person is really strange. He can still laugh after being looked at like a monkey all morning in vain.

After Zhou Tianhao finished his lunch, he realized that there was no fish on the table today.Xie Yujiao added a bowl of old hen soup for him, and Xu asked someone to add ginseng to it. Although the taste was not as pure as before, it was better for nourishing the body.

Zhou Tianhao drank a large bowl, and when he saw Xie Yujiao pouring the soup for himself, he deliberately skimmed off all the floating fish on top of the chicken soup.In fact, when the chicken soup was delivered from the kitchen, a layer of oil had already been removed from it, but now there are only a few oil spots, and there is no oil at all.When Zhou Tianhao saw him, he couldn't help curling his lips, leaned over and said, "You're so thin, what are you afraid of?"

Xie Yujiao rolled her eyes at Zhou Tianhao, took a sip from the spoon, and ignored him.Zhou Tianhao leaned closer again and whispered: "It's better to be fatter, I like it..."

Hearing this, Xie Yujiao blushed with embarrassment and stared at him, Zhou Tianhao shrank back and obediently drank the soup in his bowl.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu just smiled and said, "Tianhao is right, don't you take advantage of the cold weather and take care of yourself more, and when summer comes in the future, you won't be able to eat anything in the summer, and you will have to eat more and more. You've lost weight. You've been tossing around all winter, and I haven't seen you gain a few pounds of flesh."

Xie Yujiao actually has a small frame, so if you touch her body, she still has some flesh.Now she is a big girl of sixteen or seventeen, and her body is much wider than before. Although she can't compare with those ecstasy ones with protruding and curved figures, there is still some flesh where there should be flesh.

"Mom, you worry about this again. When will I stop eating, but I just can't eat."

Mrs. Xu then smiled and said: "Don't deny it, when you got so fat last summer, you said that the clothes were too small to wear, but it turned out that you got sick within a few days. You're getting thinner, and now you can no longer say such things, it's time to start recuperating yourself."

This good meal suddenly turned into a discussion about taking care of the body. Xie Yu coughed anxiously, his face turned hot red.Although it was normal for her to be sixteen or seventeen in ancient times, she really didn't want to marry early and have children early!
Zhou Tianhao was very happy when he heard this, he nodded vigorously and said: "Auntie said that she needs to take care of her. Looking at Jiaojiao, she is so thin that she can be hugged with one hand."

Xie Yujiao glanced at Zhou Tianhao angrily, and remembered that he was half disabled now, so she provocatively said, "Then why don't you give me a hug?"

Knowing that Xie Yujiao was provoking him, Zhou Tianhao really stretched out his hand to hug him, so Xie Yujiao hurriedly dodged in fright.

At this time, Xie Chaozong came out after eating inside, and immediately climbed onto Zhou Tianhao's body, pointed to a plate of fried Artemisia reeds on the table and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat that."

Xie Chaozong had just erupted a few front teeth at this time, and the molars inside hadn't erupted yet, so Xu said, "Chaozong, you can't eat that one, you can't bite it."

Xie Chaozong pouted, and looked up at Zhou Tianhao aggrievedly.

Zhou Tianhao smiled and picked one up, put it in Xie Chaozong's mouth, and said with a smile: "Then Chaozong eat it, eat it if it's chewed, and spit it out if it's not chewed."

Xie Chaozong kept nodding his head, chewed for a long time, and finally couldn't chew it, so he spat it out.

Zhou Tianhao said quickly: "Auntie, don't worry, Chaozong is very sensible, he will spit it out if he knows if he can't chew it well, and we adults will see that nothing will happen. If you are a man, you have to try everything yourself."

It was rare for Xie Yujiao to see Zhou Tianhao like this, and he really looked like a loving brother-in-law. She became more and more happy, so she stood up again, added a bowl of soup for him, and said, "I will reward you with another bowl."

Zhou Tianhao hugged Xie Chaozong with one hand, picked up the soup bowl that Xie Yujiao pushed over with the other, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Jiaojiao." After saying that, he raised his head and drank another bowl of chicken soup.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Yuxing came back from the city.

Now that the officials in the capital have all moved to Jinling, it is easier to inquire about the news.Xu Yuxing got the inside information from his brother-in-law, Lord Ma, that Prince Rui was seriously injured, the emperor had already sent him to another palace to recuperate, and it estimated that it would take a long time to heal.

Xu Yuxing thought to himself that Xie's family is now a residence elsewhere, and he himself has lived in a residence...

Zhou Tianhao didn't react much when he heard the news, he was the youngest son of the late emperor, he was pampered and pampered since childhood, and the first emperor only had a few sons in total, and the brothers were very close.Even if he made the emperor angry by leaving the palace so casually, he would not be so angry that he would expel himself from the royal family directly, and really make himself a commoner.

But Xie Yujiao actually hoped that the emperor would be more ruthless. It would be better if Zhou Tianhao really had nothing, so that he could firmly dominate him and let him live in Xie's house.However, she didn't dare to reveal such small thoughts in front of Zhou Tianhao, so she smiled and said: "I never thought that your brother, the emperor, is quite humane and knows how to cover up your embarrassment."

"I am an old son of the late emperor, and they made me get used to it. When the late emperor was around, even when discussing official business with them, he would always hug me and sit on the dragon chair." Although Zhou Tianhao was transmigrated, But he was deeply impressed by the old emperor, that kind of love is indeed rare in the world, but in the end Zhou Tianhao still broke his old man's heart and refused to take over the country.

Seeing his calm expression, Xie Yujiao thought that he was a little sad about the current situation, so she deliberately said: "What? Do you regret it? If you want to regret it, you will leave tomorrow. Anyway, the emperor said that you are recuperating, so maybe you will recover tomorrow." !"

When Zhou Tianhao heard this, he only said solemnly: "If I regret it, you can make another hole in my chest."

Xie Yujiao just burst out laughing, seeing the servant girl brought tea in, got up and brought it to Xu Yuxing herself, and said, "When will my cousin come back, I miss her a little bit."

Xu Yu said quickly: "Her grandma kept her for the Lantern Festival, and she will come back after the Lantern Festival. You can see her tomorrow when you go."

Although Xu Yuxing has a calm personality, he and Xu are brothers and sisters after all, and they have one thing in common, that is, if there is anything unhappy, it will be written all over their faces.For example, even though he said so at this moment, he was still not very happy when he looked at his face.

Xie Yujiao asked him, "What's on your mind, Uncle?"

Xu Yuxing only lowered his head and sighed, seeing Mrs. Xu coming out of the room, he said, "Her grandma mentioned her marriage with her cousin, so I'm a little worried."

Although Xu's family is the down-and-out third house of Duke Anguo's mansion, Xu Yu has made a lot of money traveling all over the years, so if Xu Hui leaves the court in the future, the dowry must be very considerable.What's more, the family members are simple. To put it bluntly, Xu Yuxing has not officially reunited. Whether there will be another child in the future is still up to the two. By then, the family will be owned by Xu Huiru.Therefore, if you want to find a family with He Yi, it is actually not difficult.

"What's wrong with her cousin?" Mrs. Xu heard that her cousin was unreliable last time, but this time she heard Xu Yuxing talk about it again, so she asked.

"I only heard about it in the past few days. His cousin made a little girl in her room have a big belly a few years ago. His mother originally wanted to stay, but the old lady found out and rewarded her with a bowl of rice. Fetal medicine, sold out."

If it wasn't because of Nanqian's arrival, the servants of the family also followed, and the people leaked it out of their mouths, Xu Yuxing would never have known about it.Just thinking about it now makes me feel a little sick.

Not to mention that he is an asshole, but he is still a man who does not take responsibility. If something happens, let a maid take care of it. What kind of man is he.

"Does Huiru know about this?" Xu asked hastily after hearing this.Xu Huiru is a thoughtful girl, if she finds out, she doesn't know how sad she will be.

"Maybe I don't know. The old lady won't let me tell you about this matter. I also inquired about it from a few errand runners who are usually close to me." Xu Yuxing frowned when he heard this, and said, "Mr. My wife invited you over, and I will probably bring up this matter. I definitely shouldn’t answer it, and my sister shouldn’t answer it. If you ask anything else, just say that I’m already engaged in marriage for Huiru and I’m planning to find a local A well-behaved person is married."

Mrs. Xu only nodded her head, looked up at Xu Yuxing, and said, "I'm afraid the old lady will be unhappy."

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao said, "To put it bluntly, no matter how unhappy the old lady is, how many years can she live? If Huiru really marries that bastard, it will be a matter of a lifetime." Xie Yujiao said After finishing, he gave Zhou Tianhao a look, and asked, "Hey, do you have any young children, good family background, handsome people, and family members who don't dislike the poor and love the rich, how many can you introduce to my cousin?"

Hearing this, Zhou Tianhao frowned and thought about it for a long time. At his age, Fa Xiao was unmarried... It seemed that he couldn't find it even with a lantern.There are a few... dead wives who want to continue.

Zhou Tianhao thought about it for a while, this Xie Yujiao's cousin should be younger than Xie Yujiao, it doesn't seem good to let someone young be a follow-up, right?

"It's about my age. The children are all running around. I'm the only one left. I'm not alone now." Zhou Tianhao gave Xie Yujiao a look and said.

Xie Yujiao burst into laughter when she heard this, and said with blushing cheeks, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you."
