Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 45
Misfortune comes with blessings, I never thought that surviving this catastrophe would be a blessing in disguise...Ever since I was taken from the execution ground to the barracks and never returned home, Xian'er must have been worried to death. Although I had sent a letter, I hadn't seen it after all. On the other hand, now that she has stabilized for the time being, it's time to go see her, she is his little daughter-in-law who has never been married. Thinking of Xian'er's charming face with a touch of anger, and her curvy figure, Li Ce's heart throbbed.

The first time you go to the old man's house, you can't go empty-handed. This is the minimum etiquette, and it has been like this since ancient times.Weighed two catties of good tea, bought some snacks and candies, pulled another good cloth, and hung the big and small bags on the horse. Li Ce rode a tall horse to visit his father-in-law.

Yu Yuanwai's house was also in the east of the city, and Li Ce found it after a little searching.Seeing Li Ce's extraordinary appearance, the disciples didn't dare to neglect and rushed in to report.

Li Ce stood outside the door, thinking for a while that his father-in-law came to greet him with a smile, what should he say to start?Should I call him uncle, or call him father-in-law directly, haha...

As he daydreamed to himself, Menzi came back soon, but with a straight face, he completely lost the respect just now.

"Master said no, I don't have time today, so let's go!"

"What? He doesn't have time?" Li Ce couldn't believe his ears.

"Our master told you not to waste your time, and our young lady also said that she doesn't want to see you." Menzi said impatiently.

Li Ce saw that the doorman looked a little impatient, could it be that this slave is telling stories behind his master's back?

"You are talking nonsense! How dare you tell stories behind your master's back, you are a bold slave. Get out of the way, I want to see Xianer!" Li Ce was furious, he did not believe that Xianer would not see him.

"Young master, this is what the master meant." The doorman stretched out his hand, blocking Li Ce's way.

"Miss is in the mansion?" Li Ce took a step back and asked suddenly.

"Miss...Miss has gone out." Menzi looked a little flustered.

Hmph, just looking at your expression, you know you are lying. Presumably Xian'er doesn't know that she is outside the door at this moment, otherwise she will not come to see him. Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his breath and shouted: "Xian'er, Xian'er Son!"

When the gatekeeper heard Li Ce shouting, he hurriedly pushed him away: "You are so rude, you have already said that the young lady is not in the mansion, but you still hang around here and refuse to leave, and you still yell, don't leave me again kick you out!"

"Where did you come from, you wild boy, barking here without rules or distance." The two were pushing and shoving, when a young woman came out of the door and scolded with a cold face.

Li Ce glanced at the young woman in her 30s, dressed in silk and satin, heavy makeup, and her protruding cheekbones, making people feel an indescribable sense of discomfort.

When the door saw the young woman coming out, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Ma'am."

"Madam?" Li Ce was taken aback. Could this young woman be Xian'er's mother?This... looks too different.

"Ma'am, I'm Li Ce. I'm here specially to visit my uncle and aunt today." Since it's my future mother-in-law, it's better to take care of her carefully, but Xian'er's mother is very young.

"Hmph! This wild girl Xian'er is getting more and more outrageous! I have to find someone to marry her off quickly." The young woman looked disgusted.

Li Ce was greatly confused, Xian'er had a marriage contract with him first, and Xian'er's mother should know, but hearing her tone... Could it be that she wants to regret the marriage?
"Auntie, I have a marriage contract with Xian'er, you know that, why..." Li Ce was in a hurry, things were not what he thought at all.

"Hmph! So it's you." The young woman showed a look of sudden realization. She looked at Li Ce carefully, and whispered: "A poor boy."

"Li Ce, Li Ce..." A familiar and pleasant voice came.

Li Ce was overjoyed, it was Xian'er who came.

With joy on her face, Yu Xian'er trotted all the way towards this place.

"Li Ce, why are you here?" Yu Xian'er patted his chest and asked pantingly, the towering chest trembled, making Li Ce look twice more, and Yu Xian'er happened to hit him Standing upright, Yu Xian'er blushed when she saw Li Ce's eyes, and gave a slight annoyance.

The fellow hurriedly came back to his senses, and said with a sneering smile, "I want to visit my uncle and aunt, but my aunt seems to have misunderstood me." After speaking, he turned his head and gave the young woman a slight smile.

"Why are you here?" Yu Xian'er suddenly changed her joyful expression, and said to the young woman with a straight face.

"Hmph!" The young woman blushed, snorted coldly and said nothing.

"I warn you, don't meddle in my affairs!" Yu Xianer scolded the young woman with a frosty face.

"Xian'er, how can you talk to your mother like that!" Li Ce saw that the conflict between the mother and daughter was going to intensify, and he didn't come here today to watch them quarrel. Originally, Xian'er's mother was very dissatisfied with him. If we quarrel again, we can't deal with this matter today.

"Hmph, my mother? She deserves it too!" Yu Xian'er sneered, full of disdain.

"You! You wild girl, I am your elder after all, how dare you speak against me like this, how did your mother teach you?!" The young woman's face was flushed. Made her very annoyed.

"My mother can teach as she likes. Is it your turn to tell me what to do? You should take care of your own son who is so muddy that he can't support the wall!" Yu Xian'er retorted without giving in.

"You... really don't make sense! Well, I can't control you, someone can control you, I'll tell the master right now!" The young woman seemed a little afraid of Yu Xian'er, she said angrily, and turned to the door go.

Li Ce suddenly realized that this is not Xian'er's mother!

"Xian'er, isn't she your mother?" Li Ce didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The joke was so loud. Damn, he was scolded by this wicked woman just now. If he had known she wasn't your mother, how could I rely on her.

"Of course not. My mother is very kind. How can you be so mean like her? Come on, I'll take you to see your mother." Yu Xian'er giggled, took Li Ce's hand and walked towards the inner courtyard, and left After a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and stared at the door and said, "He will come again in the future, don't stop him!".

Menzi submissively claimed that it was.

Along the way, Yu Xian'er briefly introduced the family situation to Li Ce, and Li Ce roughly understood what was going on.

Yu Xian'er's father is named Yu Chuanyi. He has two wives. The eldest wife, Mrs. Liu, is Xian'er's biological mother. The second wife, Mrs. Sun, is the young woman I just saw. She has a son who is ten three.Mrs. Sun is tricky and mean, thinking of monopolizing Yu's family property all day long, trying every means to squeeze Liu's mother and daughter, because Liu has only one daughter, Yu Xian'er, and no son, so even though she is the eldest wife, she is not subject to Chuanyi doted on him, and even though Yu Chuanyi knew about Sun's tricks behind his back, he didn't stop him.

"Oh, so that's the case." Li Ce nodded.

"Well, now you know, my lady from a rich family is actually...hehe, will you belittle me because of this?" Yu Xian'er suddenly stopped in her tracks, raised her head and looked at Li Ce in a daze and said.

When Li Ce saw Yu Xianer biting her lower lip tightly, his heart ached for no reason. He pretended to be relaxed and smiled, then curled up his index finger, scratched her little nose lightly, and said, "Fool, what I like is Xian'er, not Yu Yuanwai's daughter, it doesn't matter whether you are poor or rich, what matters is that you are Xian'er, and that's enough."

Yu Xian'er listened to this guy's nasty words, she pursed her lips into a smile, and stretched out her hand to wrap his arms around him, feeling that staying with him was an indescribably sweet thing.

The Yu family's house is not small, and Liu's mother and daughter live alone in a small courtyard. There is also a small vegetable field in the courtyard, which adds a lot of vitality to the small courtyard.

"Mother, let's see who's coming." As soon as she stepped into the yard, Yu Xian'er yelled into the house.

As the door opened, a middle-aged woman came out, who should be Yu Xian'er's mother, Mrs. Liu.Mrs. Liu is in her 40s this year. She is wearing a gray double-breasted gown and is very plainly dressed. Although her clothes are not gorgeous and there are wrinkles on her face, it can still be seen that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

Mrs. Liu greeted Li Ce with a smile, and the three of them sat around the small round table. Li Ce yelled at each uncle and mother, and soon coaxed Mrs. Liu from ear to ear.Dealing with people, this is not a problem for Li Ce. In his previous life, he was good at dealing with the elderly in the bank, because the old people are old and their minds are not clear. Li Ce also knows their likes and dislikes very well, and he can always do what he wants Well, for this reason, many old people praised him for his good service.Now that this ability is used again, this guy sighs: It seems that whether it is modern or ancient, soft power is extremely important.

Several people chatted and laughed, and realized that it was almost lunch time.Liu stood up and said, "Li Ce, if you don't mind, you can eat here today."

Li Ce hurriedly smiled and said, "How could that be? I've heard that my aunt's craftsmanship is amazing, and I finally have the chance to taste it today."

Liu smiled and got up to prepare lunch.She is very happy today. She has met Li Ce before, and always thinks that this young man is good, and there is nothing wrong with him, but he is somewhat pedantic and noble.Because their Yu family is a merchant, and they are ranked last in the ranks of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants. In the past, Li Ce always had a grudge against this, and cared about Xian'er's status.But today, it seems that he is a different person, the previous stubbornness is gone, and this alone makes Liu very happy.

"When did I tell you that my mother is good at crafting? You really know how to flatter." Seeing Liu's departure, Yu Xian'er deliberately taunted Li Ce. Seeing that her mother seemed to like Li Ce very much, she finally let go of her heart. As long as the mother also likes Li Ce, it will be fine.

Not long after, Mrs. Liu prepared the meals. The three or four dishes were all home-cooked dishes. I have to say that Mrs. Liu's craftsmanship is really good. The vegetables and radishes can make such a taste, and they can open a restaurant.

Li Ce is also not polite, he knows that liking food and eating hard is the greatest affirmation for a cook. Sure enough, seeing him wolfing down, Liu's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

Until the meal was over, there was no sign of his father. It seemed that he was quite disliked by his father-in-law, Li Ce sighed secretly.

Chatting after the meal, Mrs. Liu asked about Li Ce's current situation. Li Ce bluntly said that he had already served in the army and was now a small commander.

As the saying goes: Good iron doesn't make nails, and good men don't serve as soldiers. Yu Xian'er was worried that Mrs. Liu didn't like Li Ce's current status, but she didn't expect Mrs. Liu to say: "Well, it's not that only by studying can you get ahead. Back then, your father wasn't a down and out scholar, but in the end... well, it doesn't matter if you don't mention the past. As long as you treat Xian'er well, that's enough." Liu recalled the past with a little sadness.

"Auntie, don't worry, I, Li Ce, swear that I will live up to Xian'er in this life!" Li Ce said with a serious expression.

Yu Xian'er blushed with embarrassment, "Oh, what are you all talking about?"

Looking at the pair of young people in front of her, Mrs. Liu smiled in relief.
