Shi shi sat quietly in the main seat, looking at the old Wen family below, with a faint smile on his face, and still thinking about taking a cup of tea and drinking tea slowly, he looked very calm and calm.
Instead, the clan elders looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
They can be called clan elders, but in reality they are only the elders of the Wen family, so it doesn't count as usual.
Wen Minsong is the most prosperous person in the Wen family, the husband of the Shi family. When Wen Minsong took the imperial examination, he did not pass the examination again, but he made many friends, one of whom was fellow countryman Shi Tianrui. Shi Tianrui's younger sister.
Later, Shi Tianrui High School was highly valued in the Hanlin Academy, and the Wen family was able to gain a foothold in the capital thanks to Shi Tianrui's potential.
After Shi Tianrui was expelled from Beijing, it did not affect the Wen family. The Wen family still controlled more than half of the porcelain and jade in the capital.
As for whether the Wen family's back house is peaceful or not, these clansmen don't care.
As long as they see that Wen Minsong can earn money and support them, everything will be fine.
Shi Shi knows their thoughts, so he is sure that this time and the time of departure will be successful, and now he speaks calmly: "I have known Xianggong for many years, we have been together for many years, and we have been through hardships together, but in the end, the fate is gone, I don't want to delay Xiang Gong either, so it's enough to separate."
Wen Minsong, who was sitting on the side, looked a little complicated when he heard this.
He didn't like Shi's very much in his heart. Even though he said a lot of sweet words to Shi's and gave him a lot of things, it was Wen Minsong who saw that Shi Tianrui had a bright future and wanted to marry his sister. Can be dipped later.
Besides, Shi Shi was soft-hearted, kind-hearted, and very tolerant. He must be able to treat Sun Shi, who had already given birth to two sons for him, so Wen Minsong was chasing after him.
But when she got married, Wen Minsong didn't care much about her. Although she didn't get bored, she became less and less.
In particular, the Sun family often complained to him that he had suffered from the Shi family, and Wen Minsong felt that Shi's previous generosity and softness were all faked.
If it wasn't for Shi Shi's greeting today and asking him to come over to meet, the two of them would not have spoken together for six months.
Even what Shi Shi wants to get away from is known from the mouths of the servants.
As soon as Wen Minsong heard that Shi was going to reconcile, his first reaction was that Shi was crazy.
He acted straight, frowned tightly, and said in a low voice, "Think about it clearly, now that your parents don't rely on you, you have to rely on the Wen family for food and drink. The mansion is already full of benevolence and righteousness, if it is Heli, if you go out this door, I am afraid that you will not be able to survive for a day."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Shi didn't respond, but the woman who was waiting for him flushed with anger.
No one knows better than her what kind of life her wife lived, and no one knows better than her what kind of virtuous and poisonous woman that Sun is.
My wife was such a good girl originally, but after entering the Wen family, she was like a sheep entering a pack of wolves, and she was frightened everywhere.
Madam has fulfilled her responsibilities as the principal and managed the back house of the Wen family in an orderly manner. These blood-sucking clan elders have also been comforted very well by Madam. The foundation of the master's family is still obtained from his wife's family. He said it was like a lady begging for food.
Really shameless!
The old woman wanted to have a seizure, but Shi Shi gently held her wrist.
Shi Shi looked at her and smiled lightly.
She's finished all the anger she should be angry with, and all the tears she should shed. At first, she could survive with one breath, but now it's just two bad words, and she can't bear it.
The dough-like person in the past has now cultivated an iron-like heart and is very stable.
If there is a real trouble, and Wen Minsong doesn't sign and leave the book, it will be really troublesome.
So Shi Shi looked at Wen Minsong calmly, and said softly, "Master, now we can make it clear, my parents' family was righteous to the Wen family back then, and I have admitted that I have never felt sorry for you all these years. Now, I don't have a family to rely on, and I don't have any heirs, so it's better to liquidate it early, and it's better than we have a grudge in the future."
Shi Shi said this against her heart, because she had long wanted to tear up this thing that deceived herself.
However, the acting skills she has cultivated in this back house for a long time have made her words sincere and sincere, and no one can fault them.
And Wen Min Song grasped the point.
Now Shi Shi really has no family to rely on, which is why Wen Minsong has always been cold to her but never feared.
From Wen Minsong's point of view, now that Shi's family has no external support and no children, she should be lying by her side, so why is Shi's family wanting to reconcile
Wen Minsong subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Wen Liulang, who was standing beside him, was a little anxious.
Ever since he was a child, he had recognized that Shi Shi treated Sun Shi harshly. His mother always cried secretly, and all he said was Shi Shi's fault. Wen Liulang hated her early, and now this woman has said that she wants to make peace with her. Li, I don't happen to be dozing off and send a pillow, when will I wait if I don't agree at this time
If Shi Shi gets out of the Wen family, then the Wen family mistress will be sure to belong to his mother, the Sun family, and then he will be the son, which will have many benefits.
It's just that before Wen Liulang can speak, the old Wen family has already pointed a cane and said, "Minsong, it's been difficult for your wife these years, she's always thinking of you, she's paid enough for this family, and now her wish , you should also achieve it."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Shi knew what they meant.
No matter how much Shi Shi usually does, she is still an outsider in their eyes. Now that there is nothing on her body that can be sucked by blood, they are naturally bored.
But Shi Shi was not angry at all, but smiled softly, and she reached out and dragged her mother-in-law again.
The old woman held her breath, but remembered Shi Shi's entrustment, so she could only bear it in order not to disturb the master.
Wen Minsong looked at Shi Shi's generous face as before, and laughed in his heart that he thought too much.
This person has a temper as soft as dough, and he can't even get angry. How could he be so careful
Now that he has no worries, Wen Minsong's profiteering nature immediately appeared, he took a look at the Heli document, and said to Shi's: "Heli is fine, but most of the property in this family is what I have worked hard for many years, only I'm afraid I can't give it to you."
The Shi family had expected this for a long time. Besides, he had received news from Qi Yun early on. In the future, the Wen family was afraid that something would happen to the Wen family. It would be trouble if these industries were in their hands.
However, there was still a sad look on his face, and his voice was soft: "It's okay, it's good for me to support myself in the future, and it's better to live with a little gold and silver."
In this regard, Wen Minsong is not stingy.
In his opinion, things like gold and silver are nothing, and he is very generous: "Is five hundred taels enough?"
The clan elders are anxious. In their opinion, the Wen family's things are their own, and how can they be given to outsiders for nothing
But someone immediately held them down and lowered their voices: "Five hundred taels is not enough for a shop in Minsong. If you give it, you will give it. What's so special?"
It's just that the voice of the words was a little loud, and the two people above heard them without a word.
Wen Minsong's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't deny it, just stared at Shi Shi.
Shi Shi didn't seem to care, or no one could tell that she cared, she just nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, five hundred taels of silver and the orchard that I dowry, other than that, I don't care about anything else. No, press your handprint."
Wen Minsong didn't expect it to be so easy, but there was no pause in his hand, so he asked someone to get five hundred taels of silver notes, stood up, clicked on the red mud and pressed his handprint, Shi Shi also pressed it immediately, and then the old woman immediately Before, as if afraid of Wen Minsong's repentance, he grabbed He Lishu and gave it to the yamen master next to him.
This person is from the yamen, and was instructed before coming here. Princess Hua Ning ordered to treat Mrs. Wen's family well, so when he received the document, he raised his hands high and gave a deep salute, looking extraordinarily respectful.
And this move didn't attract anyone's attention, even Wen Minsong didn't look this way. At this moment, he was already thinking excitedly in his heart who he could marry for the sequel.
There are many powerful and powerful people in this capital. He used to rely on Shi Shi to make his fortune, and now he is thinking of going down this road again.
Shi Shi didn't care what he was thinking, he just stood there calmly, with no smile at all.
With the document Heli in her hand and the silver note in her sleeve, she is like a bird released from a cage, the sky is high and she can fly, so naturally she doesn't have to put on a disgusting expression to deceive anyone.
Some are emotional, some are sad, but more are the joy after liberation.
But if she wanted to laugh, she couldn't. This family had spent too much time with her, and as long as she stayed in this room, Shi Shi felt suffocated.
After calming down, Shi Shi looked at Wen Minsong, and finally asked what he had been wanting to ask for so many years: "The relationship between you and me has long since been lost, and now you tell me the truth," his voice paused slightly. Shi shi said softly, "Sun shi ruined my body with medication, do you know or don't know?"
Probably because he was relaxed, but also because he felt that Shi Shi was going to have a miserable life except for these people. Wen Minsong was too lazy to lie to her, and only said: "There are some things that shouldn't be investigated."
Shi Shi heard the words, took a deep look at Wen Minsong, turned his head and left.
The old woman followed and helped Shi Shi to go out.
But after getting into the carriage, the old woman finally couldn't hold back her words, and gritted her teeth and said, "Husband... Master, since you know that Mr. Sun has made a bad heart, why would you still take advantage of her? If you just leave like this, Isn't Sun's going to help him up and be the main room?"
Shi Shi closed her eyes slightly, and said in a soft voice, "Do you really think that the Wen family values her that much? The concubine's house is upright. According to the law, the husband's family will be imprisoned for several months. Sun's giving birth to Erlang for him is not as precious as himself, and Sun's face has not reached that level."
The old woman never knew about this. After thinking about it, she felt a pity: "Madam, the Wen family only gives money and not shops, it's too cheap for them."
After hearing this, Shi Shi finally had a smile on his face. Not only was he not sad, but he was happy: "I will take care of the affairs of the back house, but I will also take care of the money for those clan elders. How much living money is in the account? I know. Don't look at the calm on the book, but I know exactly how much money the Sun has swallowed in private."
When the old woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses: "Mrs. means..."
But Shi Shi didn't want to say anything, she didn't even bother to pay attention to how the Wen family should be happy now, she just said in a light voice: "Let's go, this family's affairs have nothing to do with me, and it's disgusting to look at it any more. Let's go first. I will stay in the orchard for a while, so I can choose some good ones and send them to Jiao Niang in a few days."
Shi Shi had Ye Jiao in mind, and Ye Jiao also thought of her.
Ever since she knew that the Wen family next door was in trouble, Ye Jiao asked people to keep an eye on her, and Xiao Su would also write down what she had inquired about outside and learn from Ye Jiao at home.
After all, it is a neighbor. There is no airtight wall in this world, and all kinds of things can be passed through the wall.
I heard that the Sun family was locked in the ancestral hall because he wanted to correct the righteousness.
I heard that Shi has set up a female household in the yamen.
I heard that the Wen family's shop suddenly ran out of money, and it closed three or four in a row within half a month.
These things are fragmented, Ye Jiao is usually not a person who can calculate, and naturally he can't connect them together.
Fortunately, there is a good husband by her side who knows everything, just ask him.
So after dinner that day, Ye Jiao took the initiative to lean over and tug at Qi Yun's sleeve, and said, "Xiang Gong, are you tired these days?"
Qi Yun didn't think much about it and nodded.
Because Shi was Shi Tianrui's younger sister and had a good relationship with Ye Jiao, even if Qi Yun wanted to attack the Wen family, he had to take into account Shi's face, so he kept silent.
Now that the Shi family has nothing to do with the Wen family, Qi Yun also found an opportunity to help the rescued old man get back his kiln and shop. Moreover, Qi Yun knows that in the shopping mall, the timing is particularly important. The previous layout is now It can come in handy. I've been staring at the shop these days, and it's inevitable that I'm a little tired.
Ye Jiao laughed, and first motioned Xiaosu to carry Xu Bao, who was already a little sleepy, to go to the side room to sleep, and when there was no one else in the room, she got up and pulled Qi Yun to sit on the bed, stretched out her hand and pushed him: " You lie down."
Qi Erlang was unprepared, and was directly pushed down by his wife. After lying down, he reacted and put his arms around Ye Jiao with soft eyebrows and a soft voice: "Why, my wife misses me?"
Ye Jiao was hugged very close by him. Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel strange: "I see you every day, what do you think?"
Qi Yun took her into his arms again, stretched out his hand to pull the ribbon tied to the bed net, and said softly: "Okay, that's why I miss Jiao Niang, why don't we..."
But before Qi Yun finished speaking, Ye Jiao sat up first, then rolled over and sat on top of Qi Yun, and patted him with a smile: "Since the husband is tired, lie down and I'll pinch you."
Qi Yun: …
The things he was thinking about made people passionate. After a few days, he didn't get dirty, and his body reacted. But since it was the lady who said it, he couldn't say no, so he honestly turned around and lay on his back. bed.
You can also mask your excitement a little bit.
Feeling Ye Jiao's fingers kneading back and forth on her back, Qi Yun closed her eyes slightly and said lightly, "Jiao Niang, what do you want to tell me?"
Ye Jiao was a little surprised when she heard this, and then she laughed: "Master Xiang is really amazing, how did you know that?"
"Usually, you will only do this after we have done the ceremony of Duke Zhou. Help me press it so early today, I think it's something else." Qi Yun tilted his head slightly and glanced at her with a smile, " Come on, I've never done anything wrong with you."
Ye Jiao kept his subordinates and said softly: "Xiang Gong, you have been working hard these days, I can't let you help in vain."
Qi Yun understood that Ye Jiao was not being polite to herself, but was distressed.
It seems like this has always been the case, no matter whether his body is good or bad, Ye Jiao is always trying to help him share more, even if Ye Jiao never talks about it, but Qi Yun knows in this world that the one who cares for her the most is her family. sweet girl.
Her heart softened, Qi Yun said softly, "Thank you, Jiao Niang."
Ye Jiao lowered her head and kissed him on the face, then straightened up again, and continued with the movement just now, and said in her mouth, "I should thank you, Xianggong, I want you to tell me what Yingxiu will do in the future. ?"
Qi Yun knew that Ye Jiao valued Shi's family. In this capital, Shi's family was Ye Jiao's closest friend, except for those who were close relatives.
Now that Shi's family is reconciling, Ye Jiao will naturally be concerned.
There was nothing to hide about Shi Shi's matter, so Qi Yun replied, "After she left, Princess Hua Ning said hello, and the yamen will help her set up a female household."
Ye Jiao was a little curious: "What is a female household?"
"It's a woman who is the head of the family and becomes a household on her own. In the future, she can live on her own and buy a house or land."
Speaking of this, Qi Yun sighed in his heart that Princess Hua Ning was really sincere to Ye Pingrong.
Qi Yun took care of Shi's family because of Shi Tianrui's entrustment, and also to let Shi's reconciliation as soon as possible, so that he could attack the Wen family.
But Princess Hua Ning is different. It is true that Shi Shi is Shi Tianrui's younger sister. Shi Tianrui will definitely turn over in the future.
But none of this has anything to do with Princess Hua Ning. She is a relative of the royal family, and a courtier will not hinder her wealth and glory.
But Ye Pingrong is different. He is a military general, and he always needs to help each other in the court. All that Princess Hua Ning does now is to pave the way for Ye Pingrong, so that he can walk smoothly in the court in the future.
It's a blessing for my eldest brother to marry such a lady right away.
And Ye Jiao was happy for Shi's sake, she couldn't help lying on Qi Yun's back, hugged the man's neck, put her chin on his neck, leaned over and said, "I just heard that Yingxiu didn't take anything away, I only took my dowry and a few hundred taels of silver, but I heard from Mother Mo that women usually take a lot of things when they are reconciled."
Qi Yun still closed his eyes slightly and said, "Shi Shi knows best how the Wen family's money came from, and also knows that the discord between our family and the Wen family is the root cause of disaster, and all they need to give up is the money. It's the truth, she has a very clear plan in her heart, Jiao Niang doesn't need to worry too much about her, now that she has established a female household, she has her own plans."
When Ye Jiao heard this, she was completely relieved, and the smile on her face became real.
Qi Yun looked at it and curled the corners of his mouth: "You are always like this, whoever treats you well, you treat others well."
The little ginseng asked with a smile: "Is this not good?"
Qi Yun kissed Ye Jiao's cheek and said warmly, "It's alright, my Jiao Niang is the best."
To pure, to true, to nature.
Her own wife is really a baby-like person.
Hearing this, Ye Jiao lowered her head and hugged him tighter, but her arms changed.
Qi Erlang could clearly feel his wife's soft and boneless palms slowly touching his chest, then his waist and abdomen. When he was about to go down, Qi Yun grabbed Ye Jiao's hand.
The woman's skin is delicate, like silk, and it is as soft as the first time you hold hands.
Qi Yun took a deep breath, then looked at Ye Jiao and asked softly, "Jiao Niang, what are you doing?"
Ye Jiao's eyes were clear and bright, and she even said with some joy: "Xiang Gong, your body is much stronger, and it is much easier to touch than when you were thin before." After speaking, Ye Jiao's eyes rolled on him. change.
It was probably because his wife had just touched him, even if he just looked at it now, it made Qi Yun feel that his eyes were real, and wherever he saw it, it was hot.
For a while, Qi Yun didn't know if she should let go now, but she couldn't say anything, because Ye Jiao's eyes were very clean, and she didn't even tease at all, obviously she was really happy for Qi Yun's body.
But the more this happened, the more Qi Yun felt that his body was dry.
After a while, Qi Yun seemed to accept his fate, and turned over to hold Ye Jiao down.
Facing Ye Jiao's clear eyes, Qi Yun said softly, "Where does Jiao Niang think I am now?"
Ye Jiao blinked her eyes and thought seriously, then she peeled off Qi Yun's clothes and looked in, and then she smiled and arched her eyebrows: "The chest is firm, the waist is tight, and the legs are still strong... "
"It's all up to Jiao Niang." Qi Yun didn't wait for her to finish, then he smiled lightly.
Ye Jiao nodded and said, "Yes, I took good care of you."
Qi Erlang shook his head with a meaningful tone: "I mean, practice well."
Little Ginseng was a little puzzled: "Practice? What?"
Afterwards, Qi Yun grabbed the ribbon tied to the bed tent, and unintentionally unbuttoned it, tore it off, and the soft gauze tent poured down, blocking the charming spring light between the beds.
The night was dark and all the sounds were still, and in the layered curtains, only the occasional voice came from the gaps of the soft tents: "Xianggong, you, you rest..."
"how?"
"You've done it twice. Come again, you'll be too tired to get up tomorrow."
"… "
After that, the woman didn't have the heart to speak, only the creaking sound of the bed shaking, and there was only one thing left in her mind—
Tomorrow, it would be good to have someone reinforce the bed, it would be annoying to make noises when you move a little.
On the second day, Qi Yun really didn't get up on time. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside, and his wife was lying on the bedside and looking at him with a smile.
For a while, Qi Yun wanted to turn around again and bury his face in the quilt.
Seeing that he woke up, Ye Jiao trotted to the table to get a bowl, turned around and walked back quickly, squatted down, handed the bowl to him, and said, "The soup I just stewed with my own hands, you can try it."
Qi Yun took it, smelled it, and felt that the fragrance was very good, so he asked subconsciously, "It's hard work, but what kind of soup is this?"
"Lianzi Buguzhi Pig's Loin Soup, which warms the kidneys and strengthens the yang, drink it soon."
Qi Yun: …
He wanted to say that he didn't need it, but his sore waist made this sentence seem particularly weak.
Resigned to his fate, he sat up, took the bowl and drank it. Qi Yun looked at Ye Jiao and suddenly remembered what Ye Jiao had said before when she was drunk and said she was a fairy.
He didn't believe it at the time, but now he still feels a little credible.
No matter what happened at night, Ye Jiao was always refreshed and refreshed on the second day, and she couldn't see any fatigue. On the contrary, he was able to lie down for a long time every time.
Whether it was a weak body before or a healthy body now, this is the case.
Qi Yun couldn't help but think that his wife really looked like a little goblin who harvested yang and replenished yin.
Ye Jiao didn't notice Qi Yun's gaze, she put the bowl back on the table briskly, and was about to pull Qi Yun up to wash.
At this time, I heard someone knock on the window lattice.
Then, Xiao Su's voice came in from outside: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, Brother Zheng said that the eldest Young Master and Master Stone have arrived at Shili Pavilion, and will be entering the city soon."
