Xu Miaoxuan was restless, wringing her handkerchief constantly, feeling very nervous.
Someone just reported that her husband Qin Dewei had been beaten with a royal cane, and asked the family to quickly send a carriage to wait outside the right gate of Chang'an to pick him up.
Although she knew that being beaten with a cane was the honor of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty and a symbol of loyalty and uprightness, she still felt very distressed.
During the extremely torturous waiting, I don’t know how long it took, but I heard the maid shouting outside the hall: "The carriage that went to pick up the master is back!"
Xu Miaoxuan quickly picked up her skirt and walked quickly to the front yard of the main entrance.
The carriage is already there, but the carriage is empty.
"Where are the people?" Xu Miaoxuan asked Ma Er doubtfully.
Ma Er laughed along with him and replied: "Master Qin was carried to Master Zhan's house next door before he even entered the house."
Xu Miaoxuan: ""
After waiting anxiously for less than half an hour, I saw my husband lying on the wooden board and being carried into the house.
Qin Dewei caught a glimpse of his wife in front of him, and quickly lowered his head, looking groggy and out of breath.
Xu Miaoxuan directed the servants, gently moved her husband to the kang, and kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief.
"Don't cry, it's nothing." Qin Dewei tilted his head with great effort and said to comfort his wife.
In order to make it easier to talk, Xu Miaoxuan asked her husband to lie on her lap and asked with red eyes: "What's going on?"
Qin Dewei gasped slightly and said: "I don't blame my little brother. Although he beat me like this, it is still his duty. You must not blame him!"
Xu Miaoxuan gritted her teeth and said nothing. Then she asked, "Why did you go to Mr. Zhan's house next door just now?"
Qin Dewei explained: "Since you married me, we don't even have a separate house. We have been crowded here across the courtyard. I feel sorry for you.
So I thought about buying Mr. Zhan's mansion in the east and using it as the official residence of our Qin family.
We will move there from now on. In this case, you can be a serious hostess of the house.
Then it is connected to the interior of Dongkuaoyuan here, so it is not troublesome to move around each other, and it does not affect filial piety to parents."
Xu Miaoxuan thought "haha" in her heart, touched her husband's head with her hand, and asked with concern: "How long will your injury last?"
Qin Dewei was puzzled. He was talking about buying a new house and letting you be the real hostess. You just moved it and that was it. Why did you suddenly change the subject?
He still replied: "Mr. Li said that if you take care of it for a month, most of the symptoms will be cured."
Xu Miaoxuan murmured in a low voice: "I have never cared about the size of the house, nor am I afraid of the hard work of serving my parents-in-law. I just want to have children as soon as possible."
Regarding this issue, Qin Dewei has a plan to get the best of both worlds, but he needs to wait for the opportunity.
Just when I was about to say a few words of comfort, I heard the maid outside reporting: "The old lady is here!"
Zeng's stepfather, a fifth-grade prime minister of Dali Temple, was not qualified to go to the Wenhua Hall, so he was not present when Qin Dewei was beaten today.
It was only when Zeng's father was working at Dali Temple that he heard the news that his son had been beaten with a cane.
Well, my colleagues were all congratulating me. Zeng’s father couldn’t sit still, so he rushed home to see what was going on.
After asking about the situation, Zeng's father felt relieved. The emperor was virtuous and it would be fine if he was not crippled.
Then he asked curiously: "What's going on between you and Mr. Zhan next door?"
Qin Dewei replied: "After friendly negotiation, Zhan Shaoqing agreed to sell the mansion to me."
Friendly negotiation? Zeng’s father was speechless for a moment, resisted the urge to educate his son in physics again, and asked again:
"So you plan to move next door? Then who will give this place in Dongkuaoyuan to?"
Qin Dewei secretly glanced at the good wife standing beside him and whispered: "There is a fellow from Jinling named Wang Lianqing. You should have heard of Mr. Zeng."
Zeng's father was very distressed and suddenly felt the urge to move out.
There are three courtyards here, which should be called the Zeng Mansion in name, but only the main courtyard is occupied by oneself.
The West Cross Courtyard was originally supposed to invite an ambiguous fairy girl to live there, but now it has Miss Li and her family, while the East Cross Courtyard will have Wang Lianqing in the future.
Then the son went to buy the mansion next door. How many more women are there to be packed in? There are still people from Jinling who haven’t come over yet!
After the two sides are connected, I'm afraid every courtyard will be filled with women who have sons!
As a father, he only guarded one courtyard and was surrounded by his son's women.
You can’t even leave the yard for a walk in your own home, it’s simply too much!
In order to save money, it was a mistake to agree to live with Qin Dewei!
At this time, the maid came in again and said to everyone in the room: "Everyone is here to see the master!"
The meaning of "all come" is very subtle, and several people understood it instantly. Li, Wang, and Li must have arrived together.
Zeng's father couldn't stay here any longer. He looked at his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu, sighed sympathetically, and walked out, shaking his head step by step.
Qin Dewei suddenly remembered a crucial issue. Wang Lianqing and Mrs. Li had never met or even heard of each other.
The main reason is that I have never mentioned Mrs. Li to Wang Lianqing, and I have never mentioned Wang Lianqing to Mrs. Li.
Moreover, one is a beauty from the North and the other is a beauty from the South. They are very different in every aspect from personality to origin.
If two people suddenly encounter each other like this, will there be a conflict? They have already met outside the house, right?
The first impression between people is very important. If two women have a grudge, you will have a headache in the future! For example, Xu Xian's wife and Tao Xiangu
Qin Dewei couldn't move, couldn't go out to greet him, couldn't immediately intervene to adjust and maintain peace.
So he could only ask others for help. Qin Dewei suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Miaoxuan.
Although he was lying on the kang, he raised his arms and made a gesture of folding his hands together, placing them on his forehead.
With a pleading look on his face, he shouted: "What a good wife!"
Xu Miaoxuan was very tired and poked Qin Dewei's forehead: "I really owe you in my previous life!"
Qin Dewei's eyes became more sincere and his tone became more sincere: "Please!"
Xu Miaoxuan was helpless and sighed softly. When she got up and was about to greet someone, the maid appeared again and came in to report: "Another fairy girl is here!"
Xu Xian's wife can be tolerant and try her best to be tolerant, but she will definitely not include a certain fairy who has ridiculed her.
Who wouldn’t be angry anymore?
Xu Miaoxuan immediately turned around and went back. She got on the kang and sat down next to Qin Dewei. She ordered her maid:
"Anyway, the people here are not outsiders, please come in all! Let's just gather here and talk."
No matter what! Mr. Qin, face everything personally!
She, Xu Miaoxuan, is also a woman! She just doesn’t want to be virtuous today!
Qin Dewei, who was lying on the kang, quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep, with a lingering tired look on his face and snoring softly.
Probably because I was too tired today, was beaten severely, and was seriously injured, and I can no longer hold on mentally.
