"Just like your aunts..." Mrs. Xu said, "My life is already hard enough, do you want your daughter to follow my old path?"

"You...Okay, why are you talking about this?" Uncle Xu flicked his sleeves, "What's wrong with me? I didn't spoil my concubine and kill my wife? Aren't you the one who makes the decision in this family?"

"Yes, I am in charge of everything in the house. There are many women in your backyard, as well as your concubines and concubines... I am busy all day long, helping you take care of your women and raising your children. As for you, you only want to spend the night

In that short time, the rest is all mine...I'm complaining a few words now, but you're still impatient, what am I trying to do?"

"Oh, aren't we talking about Jin'er's matter? Isn't there nothing we can do about Jin'er's matter? Do you think I am willing to give a girl to my son-in-law? After all, it is not Jin'er who is not living up to expectations? She has been married into the Zhu family for so many years

, there has been no movement. If she does, what will happen to me?" Uncle Xu said, "Now Sanlang of the Zhu family has just entered the capital, and the benches of the capital officials have not yet been seated. If we don't send someone over quickly to occupy the seat.

Now, when he enters Beijing, there will be many people who have ideas about him. Let me ask you, would you rather have your own girl take care of the child for Jin'er, or let someone outside take care of her?"

Of course she is her own girl. Needless to say, Mrs. Xu felt aggrieved.

In the final analysis, Jin'er failed to live up to her expectations and she couldn't get pregnant. Who is to blame?

She has already tried to find a "sister-in-law" for Jin'er, but Jin'er doesn't agree...

Uncle Xu: "Which family does Qi Lang of the Zhu family have an interest in? You didn't ask?"

Mrs. Xu shook her head: "No, Jin'er didn't say anything. She just said that this family is one that our family cannot afford to offend. How many families have been in Beijing for so many years that our family can afford to offend? I don't know what to do now."

…”

Of course, it was impossible for Mrs. Xu to say anything about Mrs. Xu's plan to challenge Mama Jia.

This matter is too risky. Once she says it, Uncle Xu will definitely disagree.

She can still think about her daughter, but Uncle Xu can't. He only considers the interests of the family.

"Alas..." Uncle Xu sighed, "It seems that we can only act according to the original plan."

"Well, that's all it can do."

…

Speaking of the latter, Mrs. Xu thought that Uncle Xu would stay overnight tonight, but the other party said: "I promised Yan Niang to visit her. You go to bed early and I will come to see you tomorrow."

Mrs. Xu looked at his back and almost died of anger.

Damn it, you came to me just to "talk about things"?

I'm the housekeeper, what's wrong?

"Go find that little goblin again!"

Feeling angry and angry, he called the maid Yang Chun to come in and asked her to tell the stove to reduce my aunt's food by 20%.

"Yes, ma'am."

Maid Yang Chun lowered her head and responded softly.

…

The next day, Master Zhu San saw Uncle Xu and proactively said that Zhu Qi had to prepare for the exam, so he couldn't go out to socialize. He hoped that Uncle Xu would forgive him.

"Hey, the exam is a big deal, and you are busy with serious things. If you can't spare time, you can't spare the time." Uncle Xu smiled and said, "I am here to wish Qilang..."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

The two of them exchanged polite greetings.

Uncle Xu would ask Zhu San about government affairs from time to time, as if he wanted to "prompt" him.

He is an elder, so why can't he "point out" Zhu San?

Zhu San silently said in his heart: If you are willing to mention something, just mention it. As long as you don't give me a concubine, you can say anything.

Uncle Xu has said it, and everyone seems to be able to add a few words, including Second Master Xu, Third Master Xu, and the rest of the Xu family.

Only Zhu San, who actually became an official and was promoted by Emperor Qin due to his outstanding performance, could not say how many levels he had been promoted. He could only "accept" it honestly.

Forget it, as he spoke, Uncle Xu sent Zhu San to follow his brother-in-law and the others to the garden.

As the brothers-in-law made excuses to leave one by one, either to go to the latrine or to get something, Zhu San's heart was full of vigilance.

Sure enough, after a while, he heard laughter.

"Miss, please walk slower..."

Then, a young girl dressed in a gorgeous dress ran into Zhu San's sight while being chased by the maid.

"Ah, is there anyone?"

When she saw Zhu San's presence, she looked panicked and quickly stabilized her steps, acting like a lady.

When he furtively raised his eyes, he recognized who Zhu San was, and shyly stepped forward to greet him.

"Third... Third brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a foreigner here..."

Zhu San had an excellent memory. Although he could not recognize who this young girl was, he vaguely remembered that he had seen her when he arrived at Xu's house yesterday.

Everyone had seen him. In such a big garden, Zhu San couldn't hide directly. He could only return the greeting politely, and then stood to one side to "avoid suspicion" and let the other party go first.

However, the other party was originally coming for him, so where could he go?

Therefore, the young girl shyly introduced herself and asked Zhu San what he was doing here. Was he also here to enjoy the flowers?

Xu Yourou? Zhu San was impressed by this name and silently matched the name with the face.

Zhu San said that he was walking with several brothers-in-law and accidentally walked into this courtyard. They left because of something to do, so he was left alone.

But they will be back soon, so he needs to wait here. If Miss.

"I'm fine. I was just strolling around the garden. I didn't expect to meet my third brother-in-law here... Third brother-in-law, I heard that you were very powerful when you were an official in Qingyuan County. You did a lot of good things for the local people. Can you help me?"

Shall I tell you something?" Xu Yourou ignored Zhu San's mention of "waiting for someone" and showed an innocent and curious expression, as if she really just wanted to hear those interesting things.

"I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient. Miss Rou, there are differences between men and women. If you really want to hear it, you can wait until Master X comes back and let him tell you."

"But... I just want to hear what the third brother-in-law said. Cousin Jing has never been an official. How could he know those things?" Xu Yourou's eyes shone with admiration, "But the third brother-in-law is different from him. The third brother-in-law is different.

My brother-in-law is so great, he builds roads and does practical things for the people. He is like a great hero. I have never admired a person so much."

Zhu San: "..."

I'm afraid it's not admiration, but "falling in love" with him, right?

His piece of meat was a bit fragrant, and he was helpless.

"...Does Miss Rou like this garden?"

"I like it. This garden is my favorite garden to visit," Xu Yourou said shyly, "I usually come here when I have nothing to do."

"Then I won't bother you. It suddenly occurred to me that your third cousin may want to see me later. I would also like to trouble Miss Rou to stay a little longer. If you see Master Jing and the others, please tell them that I have gone back beforehand."

.”

After speaking, he turned around.

"Hey, third brother-in-law..."

Xu Yourou wanted to stop him, but unfortunately, Zhu San walked too fast and didn't stop him at all.

Sigh... Zhu San felt that the girl was thin-skinned and wanted to leave some dignity to her, but he declined politely several times, and they tried to get in on the action. What could he do?

If he continued to talk about gentlemanly etiquette, Zhu San was afraid that Miss Rou would immediately throw herself into his arms, skin to skin touching, and confirm their "date" in Xu's garden.

The Xu family was really not particular about finding the right match for him.

Even if Xu Yourou is just a concubine, she is still the daughter of the Xu family, and she also represents the Xu family's face. So in such a hurry...
