"I'm going to help my mother-in-law make tea." Xia Kun said to An Yu.
An Yu was surprised.
It was the first time she heard Xia Kun call "mother-in-law".
Xia Kun went to the kitchen next door and slashed the back of Yu's neck with a knife.
Yushi, who was cursing her daughter for being a loser, suddenly felt a pain in her neck, her head sank, and she fell down.
Xia Kun supported Yushi and lifted her up.
In the room, An Yiheng looked at An Yu and saw that not only her face was rosy, but her eyes had a sense of relaxation and joy that she had never seen before, so he knew that she was doing well.
"We brother and sister haven't seen each other for several months. Now I see that you are doing well, so I'm relieved."
"Brother, just study in peace, I don't need you to worry about it." An Yu said, "Have you eaten? I'm going to cook some dishes for you to drink. It's rare for you to meet, so why don't you have a couple of drinks?"
Xia Kun walked in: "No need. I just told the coachman to go to the restaurant and order some dishes. The food will be delivered later."
"It cost my brother-in-law." An Yiheng said politely.
"It's nothing." Xia Kun said, "By the way, I saw that my mother-in-law was a little tired just now. She said she wanted to go back to her room to rest first, so she wouldn't eat with us."
An Yiheng was confused, but thinking that Yu's temper was getting worse and worse, especially when she saw An Yu and Xia Kun, she seemed to be on fire, and she was afraid that she didn't want to eat with them.
Excuse.
The waiter at the restaurant quickly delivered the food to your door.
Xia Kun asked for a few dishes, and there were more than a dozen, each of which was a signature dish.
An Yiheng looked at Xia Kun.
The Yu family always despises Xia Kun as a 'minion', but which family's servant has such power? This man is definitely not a mortal. It is simply a high achievement for my sister to marry such a man.
However, this is also her blessing.
She had lived a miserable life in the past few years, and even God couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave her Xia Kun to save her.
"It's a happy event for my uncle to win the imperial examination. Xia has prepared a small gift. I hope my uncle will like it."
Xia Kun handed a box to An Yiheng.
An Yiheng thanked him, opened the box, and took out the paintings and calligraphy inside.
When he unfolded the calligraphy and painting, his eyes widened at the original paintings by famous artists.
"This is too expensive."
The so-called small gift costs almost a few hundred taels of silver.
Of course, the important thing is not the money, but that this authentic painting by a famous artist is definitely not that easy to find.
Xia Kun said: "For those who appreciate it, this is a good thing. For a rough person like me, it is just an ordinary calligraphy and painting, just hang it there as a decoration. Brother, don't worry too much."
An Yu looked at Xia Kun with stars in his eyes.
Why is he so powerful?
She originally thought that he followed her to see An Yiheng on a temporary basis, but it turned out that he had prepared gifts in advance and everything was prepared.
Xia Kun squeezed An Yu's palm under the table.
This little girl kept staring at herself. Didn't she see that her brother started looking at her with teasing eyes?
"Cough." An Yiheng coughed lightly.
Only then did An Yu come back to his senses.
Her cheeks turned red and she poured wine for the two of them.
Without the troublesome person like Yu, the atmosphere among the group was very good.
Xia Kun had just eaten some food and was not hungry. He was mainly drinking with An Yiheng.
"I came in a hurry today and I didn't show proper etiquette. How about I treat you and your classmates to a restaurant for a drink tomorrow?" Xia Kun asked.
Just now, he wanted to take Yushi with him, after all, Yushi is their biological mother. But after meeting Yushi, he felt that this courtesy was not enough. Otherwise, it would be really disappointing!
"Tomorrow... Lu Xuan should have a banquet for people from the academy, right?" An Yiheng said, "I will stay away from him and wait until he has finished the banquet before inviting the master and classmates to have a drink."
"Then the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow they should have a banquet for the staff in the store, but it doesn't matter. If you are upstairs, it will be the same if they are having a banquet downstairs." Xia Kun said.
"Would you like to discuss this with Mrs. Lu?" An Yiheng asked.
"I'll tell Madam. Madam won't mind this little thing." Xia Kun said, "Brother-in-law will prepare for the exam next. If you need my help in any way, just tell me."
An Yu was quietly adding wine and vegetables beside him.
For her, her brother and husband are her most important men. She was very happy to see them drinking in harmony like this.
"How is my little sister doing in Zhinv Pavilion?" An Yiheng asked An Yu.
An Yu's eyes were full of light when he mentioned the masters and friends of Zhinu Pavilion and what he had learned in these days.
Now she no longer feels inferior, she is like a flower in full bloom, showing her most beautiful look.
Two hours later, Xia Kun left with An Yu.
An Yiheng drank some wine and became more and more drunk, so he went back to his room to rest.
It was a great night's sleep.
All these years of studying hard are just for the sake of being named on the gold list. Now I am one step closer to being named on the gold list, and the stone that has been weighing on my heart for a long time has been lifted.
He was woken up by the sound of cursing.
"An unfilial thing, a thing that will be struck by lightning, this is not a son-in-law, he is simply a vicious wolf."
"Mother..." An Yiheng opened the door and looked unhappy. "What's wrong with you?"
"Heng'er, don't associate with anyone named Xia in the future. You don't know..." Mrs. Yu vomited out the grievances she suffered last night.
After she finished speaking, she wiped away her tears and choked up: "Is this a son-in-law? Which son-in-law dares to treat his mother-in-law like this? I shouldn't have married An Yu to such a thing in the first place. What else do you think he can't do?
Came out?"
An Yiheng didn't expect that what Xia Kun meant when he said, 'Mother-in-law went to rest'.
He was speechless for a moment.
But looking at Yushi's appearance, he felt that it was normal for Xia Kun to do this.
"Mom, he is someone close to Mr. Lu." An Yiheng said, "Do you know how much Mr. Lu values him? To be blunt, he said he was a slave, but everyone knows that the Lu family does not regard him as a slave.
Slave. He is a man of real ability, and I am afraid he will have great fortunes in the future. Let’s marry our sister to him, and if we get along well, it might help us in the future. You always dislike him and hurt your sister, which is not good for us.
."
"What role can his status serve?" Yushi disdained.
"Mom, I'll buy you a small house in the countryside, why don't you go back to your hometown to live!" An Yiheng lowered his eyes, "If you make enemies everywhere like this, I'm afraid you will cause trouble for me in the future. Maybe the countryside is more suitable for you to live in.
."
Yushi looked at An Yiheng in shock: "You want to drive me away?"
"I just think you need to be quiet for a while." An Yiheng said, "By the way, my brother-in-law is hosting a banquet for me tomorrow night. My classmates will be invited to the banquet, so mom doesn't need to go. After all, you don't know anyone.
, it’s awkward to be alone there.”
After An Yiheng finished speaking, he went back to the house.
I drank a little too much last night and my head still hurts.
"Both of them dislike me..." Yu Shi cried, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving..."
The city of North Shanghai was very lively today. Wen Wensong led many scribes to register there. Strong men who were willing to use their labor to deduct taxes had to leave their own information, so that statistics could be facilitated.
Niu Mei pushed Mu Dashan into the crowd.
Mu Dashan looked embarrassed: "Don't push me, I'll just go."
"You are the son-in-law who comes here. If you don't go, who will go? Is it possible for my parents to go?" Niu Mei said, "You are not in good health now. You can't do long-term work. Our family doesn't even have any income."
Various looking eyes came from all directions.
Mu Dashan lowered his head and walked forward with the crowd.
"Uncle, your body..." The clerk shook his head, "It's too bad. I'm afraid you won't be able to do such heavy work."
"He is in good health." Niu Mei said from the side, "Brother, please sign him up! He is the only strong worker in our family and there is no one else. You have to give us a way to survive."
