Xiao Shiji clasped his hands, and Xiao Ruisheng, who was standing with his waist bowed, said, "I have a lot to do with my uncle today. I'll come to say congratulations another day."

Xiao Ruisheng hurriedly smiled and said: "How dare you? My nephew is too polite." Seeing Xiao Shiji seeing off guests, Xiao Ruisheng also said goodbye knowingly. The matchmaker winked at Xiao Shiji and followed suit.

Xiao Ruisheng went out together.

Xiao Yi led them out from the front.

Along the way, when the matchmaker saw that there were no other servants of the Xiao family around, and only Xiao Yi was her confidant, she quietly smiled at Xiao Ruisheng and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao Er! Congratulations, Mr. Xiao Er! In three years' time, Mr. Xiao Er will be here.

You’re going to get rich.”

Xiao Ruisheng smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, please stop teasing me. You probably don't know what my eldest nephew does, right?"

The matchmaker was funny in her heart: If I didn't know, he could come to me to do this?

But the matchmaker is most concerned about whether Xiao Ruisheng will really marry Long Xiangye as his second wife in three years.

Xiao Ruisheng must have no hope for the future in three years. He said listlessly: "I listen to my eldest nephew. He asked me to go east, but I dare not go west. Don't say he only let me marry his mother, even if he let me

Call his mother mom, and I will call him mom." What does seniority mean? A heroic man was forced to death for a penny, and his family was almost unable to open the pot, and he kept borrowing money here and there to live.

There are too many concubines in the family. Since it is possible to marry an ancestor back in three years, he has to deal with a few of the concubines in the family. He does not need to sell them all, but sell a few who are older and have not given birth to children. This can both

In exchange for some money, you can also make some room...

Xiao Ruisheng made plans all the way and followed Xiao Yi to the outer courtyard.

Xiao Yi ordered his subordinates to bring over a plate of patterned silver. He said with a smile: "This is our uncle's wish. Our uncle said that the second master must take care of his health and live until three years later."

Although Xiao Yi was smiling, looking at Xiao Ruisheng's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.

"...hehe...hehe...must...must..." Xiao Ruisheng took the money, wrapped it in a big baggage, held it in his arms and walked out of the Xiao family's door.

After leaving Xiao's house, Xiao Ruisheng boarded his ox cart and said proudly to the boy driving the cart: "Master, I will use a carriage instead when I get back." Xiao Shiji came to him to talk about the matter and gave him five hundred taels.

Silver. Xiao Ruisheng's family has a large population and high expenses. They have long been unable to raise horses and can only ride on bullock carts.

Here Xiao Ruisheng and the matchmaker were sent away, and Long Xiangye directed the maid to pack things and prepare to move in full swing. Du Hengshuang felt embarrassed. She wanted to say a few words, but didn't know how to start.

Xiao Shiji pursed his lips, took Du Hengshuang's hand, and walked back to the yard where they lived together.

Seeing several large and small bundles piled on the Arhat bed in the inner room, Xiao Shiji turned around and asked, "Did you know that we were moving to the yard, so you packed the packages early and waited?"

Du Hengshuang snorted. He took off the curtain from his head and stood in front of the dressing table to look in the mirror.

The redness and swelling on the left cheek have basically subsided. There is no tingling, but there is still some stiffness.

Xiao Shiji walked up behind her, held her thin shoulders with both hands, and looked at her in the mirror.

"Tell me the truth, what are you doing packing your things?" Xiao Shiji refused to let her go and refused to let her go through with it.

Du Hengshuang smiled at the figure in the mirror and whispered: "What else can I do? - Of course, pack your bags and go back to your parents' home."

Xiao Shiji tightened his hands, causing Du Hengshuang's shoulders to feel a little painful.

She slapped his hand away in displeasure and said angrily: "What are you doing with so much force? Haven't I been beaten enough by you?"

Xiao Shiji felt distressed again when he said this. He bent down from behind Du Hengshuang, came in front of her, and looked at her left cheek carefully.

After applying Zhu Susu's plaster, you can only see a dark circle of plaster marks on the outside.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. It's just a little itchy." After saying that, Du Hengshuang joked: "You can't see that Su Su's plaster is easy to use, so you just let people slap me in the face."

Even when street gangsters fight, they try their best not to hit anyone in the face. Du Hengshuang was slapped in the face by Long Xiangye in public. The damage was less to his body, but more to his face and self-esteem.

Xiao Shiji lowered his head, not knowing how to comfort her. He was not a sweet-talking man, but he did a lot of things silently to solve the problems between them.

Du Hengshuang looked at Xiao Shiji and felt that he was still a man who could be trusted for life.

"You went out last night to do this?" Du Hengshuang asked.

Xiao Shiji nodded and sat down on the brocade beside her. He stretched out his arms and hugged Du Hengshuang's slender waist, letting her lie in his arms.

Holding the warm-smelling nephrite body, Xiao Shiji took a deep breath, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of roses from Du Hengshuang's hair.

"I know you are trying to scare your mother-in-law." Du Hengshuang sighed and said with a smile, "Actually, you don't need to sign the marriage contract at all." If Long Xiangye hadn't gotten carried away and slapped Xiao Shiji in front of her, Xiao Shiji would have

Not necessarily

With this determination, he came to warn Long Xiangye. After all, she was his biological mother. If Xiao Shiji was not good enough, he would become an unfilial and disobedient son who would be beaten by everyone. Not to mention being an official, even doing business would be punished.

Pointing and looking down.

Xiao Shiji didn't want to talk about this issue anymore. In his opinion, the matter had been resolved, and there was no need to worry about whether the method was correct or not.

Du Hengshuang buried her head in Xiao Shiji's arms, thought for a long time, and finally said tactfully: "You should tell me when you went out last night, so that I wouldn't have to wait. - I didn't go to bed until midnight last night, and I'm still sleepy today.

"

Xiao Shiji followed Shan Ruliu and immediately said: "I didn't think carefully. I should have told you earlier before going out. But at that time, the servants sent by my mother kept watching me, and I was too lazy to bother with them, so I simply left.

."

This is also true.

Du Hengshuang has never really let go of her heart until now. She knew before that if her mother-in-law didn't like her, her life with Xiao Shiji would not be easy. Before getting married, Xu Yanhui found many civil files in Chang'an City for her.

Show her that there are many records in it about marriages, separations, and even divorces because of mother-in-law.

In the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is basically in a helpless position and has no choice but to let her mother-in-law rub her.

Where does the mother-in-law's authority come from? It doesn't come from her son.

As long as Xiao Shiji stands by her side, Long Xiangye will not be able to hurt her no matter what the heavens and the earth do.

She just believed that Xiao Shiji would not indiscriminately ask her to tolerate and retreat, so she insisted on marrying Xiao Shiji regardless of her mother's obstruction.

Everything now proves that her choice was right.

Although they had only been married for three days, it seemed like a lifetime had passed between them, and they had opened their hearts to each other.

Zhihua and Ouyangniang were waiting outside.

"Ou Yangniang, can we go back?" Zhihua was a little worried.

There was no sound from the two people in the room now.

Ou Yangniang twisted a needle in her hand. She shaved her hair and embroidered a red partridge's bellyband on Du Hengshuang with apricot red ridged thread.

"It shouldn't be necessary, right? I didn't hear that the old lady is moving the yard." Ou Yangniang said with a smile.

My uncle did a good job this time. He asked the old lady to move the yard in a few seconds. She thought it was very difficult before. After all, the reputation of Mr. Xiao and the "filial son" was far and wide, so he might not be willing to do something that would harm his "filial son" for the sake of his own lady.

"A matter of reputation.

"What does this have to do with being a filial son?" Zhihua was puzzled, "Isn't it just moving to a yard?"

Ou Yangniang glanced at her, "Of course it does matter. If the old lady is unwilling to move and makes a noise, it will be a great act of unfilial piety on her part. If you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, you will never be able to say anything."

"But... the old lady is willing to move now. She won't say that she has forgotten her mother after marrying her, right?" Zhihua was shocked. There are so many twists and turns in moving a yard, these people can really play tricks.

"That's exactly what I said. If the old lady doesn't want to move the yard, of course it would be unfilial. If the old lady is willing, it would be unfilial if you don't let her move. The great thing about my uncle is that he can make me

If a person doesn't complain, his reputation will not be damaged." Ou Yangniang said, feeling her eyes sore, and put down the embroidered bandage. She called a little maid over, it was time to pass the lunch.

Xiao Shiji talked to Du Hengshuang for a long time in the room. When he heard Ou Yangniang outside ordering the little maid to pass the lunch, he said apologetically: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat together?"

Du Hengshuang smiled and nodded.

After Xiao Shiji went out, Du Hengshuang called Zhihua in and asked her, "I remember that my nine-link box came in a pair. Where is the other one?"

Zhihuajing was in charge of Du Hengshuang's clothing and jewelry, and he remembered these little things most clearly. He hurriedly looked for them and asked, "What do you want to do, the young lady?"

Du Hengshuang took out the nine-link box containing the marriage certificate from his sleeve pocket, and placed the two boxes side by side on the low table of the Arhat's bed.

After looking at it for a long time, Du Hengshuang put the nine-link box containing the marriage certificates of Long Xiangye and Xiao Ruisheng into a larger brocade box, locked it, took the key himself, and ordered Zhihua to send the brocade box to Xiao Shiji in the outer courtyard.

In the study room, it was placed on the ancient shelf in the back room.

What's left on the low table is another nine-link box, which is exactly the same as the previous one. The only difference is that there is no marriage certificate inside.

Du Hengshuang took the empty box to the east room that he used to use as his study and hid it.

Because Long Xiangye's marriage certificate was too important, she didn't dare to stay with her, so she resorted to a trick and took the real box to the outer courtyard for storage. The one she kept here was a counterfeit.

After lunch, Du Hengshuang asked Ou Yangniang to help the maid in the command room pack her things and prepare to move to the main courtyard.

Chen Yuejiao heard in the yard of the second room that Long Xiangye actually voluntarily moved to Xuanrong Hall in the back garden, and was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. - Chen Yuejiao knew better than anyone how much Long Xiangye valued the right to live in the main courtyard.

Xiao Taiji was also very anxious and rushed to the main courtyard immediately, only to see many women carrying furniture outside.

"Mom, you live well, why do you want to move away?" Xiao Taiji asked puzzledly.

Long Xiangye said with a smile: "As we get older, we want peace and quiet. There is so much noise here, but it is not as beautiful as the back garden, which is also quiet."

Xiao Taiji asked for a long time, but he couldn't find out the reason, and he became more and more worried and uneasy.

When Chen Yuejiao saw Xiao Taiji coming back in despair, she thought for a while and took the initiative to comfort him, "Second Master, the days are long, Second Master, don't be discouraged."

Xiao Taiji shook his head, frowned and said, "I'm worried that your cousin can't be in charge now. What will happen to the housekeeper?" If I let my sister-in-law "take care of it", will I still be able to get it back in the future?
