Zhao'er was checking accounts at home, when Xu shi suddenly came to the door.
Xu shi recounted what happened that day before crying: "Since he came back from the Shifu the day before yesterday, I don't know what happened. Except for going to the Hanlin Academy, when he came back, he locked himself in the study, I went to him, He doesn't see me either..."
Zhao'er sighed inwardly.
She felt a little abnormal before, Chen Jian couldn't let Chen Xiulan ignore her, her brother and sister-in-law were by her side, but such things happened. If it wasn't for her knowing that Ah Jian was not that kind of person, she would have to think more.
There is no problem with A Jian, the problem lies with Xu, but she and Xu have met a few times, and she feels that Xu is not that kind of person.
Then there is only one, and there may be some problems in the communication between the couple.
Because she didn't know the specifics, she didn't dare to interject too much, which is why she tolerated the moths from Chen Xiulan's side, but unfortunately the thing that should have erupted broke out.
Taking advantage of Xu's crying, Zhao'er looked at each other.
Xu's eyes were red and swollen, and his face was haggard. Although Zhao'er didn't know much about Xu's family, she knew that the other party was a decent-looking person and a serious lady. If she could be so embarrassed, she probably cared about Chen Jian very much.
She sighed and said, "Ajian is a person with restrained emotions. Ever since I've known him, he has always been the kind of unknown person, but when you need him, he will definitely stand by your side. Said, even if the tooth is knocked out, it is swallowed with blood."
Xu Shi didn't expect Zhao'er to say this, so she stopped sobbing and looked at Zhao'er in this way.
"Do you want to know about Ah Jian's past?"
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said nothing. After a long while, he nodded.
"Ajian and Tingyuan met in a place called Qingyuan Academy, not only the two of them, but Badou and Daejeon. It was a very small academy, and the four of them were from peasant families at the time... "
Zhao'er talked a lot, some of which were told to her by Xue Tingxiang, and some of which she got through the relationship between Xue Tingxiang and several people. They talked for a long time.
"A Jian was actually very hard when he was young. When he didn't meet Ting Xian and the others, Xiulan was the most important person in his life. Maybe from your point of view, since brothers and sisters have become families, they shouldn't be arrogant to each other. Many, after all, it is someone else's business, but for Ah Jian, it is not like this, he has always regarded Xiulan as his responsibility."
"He blamed me for knowing about my aunt's house, but not telling him. In fact, I just vaguely felt it. As for Shi Zhiyou's bread outside, I don't know, but I know that this man is not a good thing... "
This is probably the first time that Mrs. Xu has been so dissecting to a person. Since she was a child, she was brought up that it is not easy for a woman to reveal her emotions. She should uphold the dogma of being a lady and keep her dignified. So since she was sensible, she has learned to hold the veil and smile properly, even if she didn't want to laugh at that time.
Especially for a woman, it is extremely humiliating and even ashamed to be looked at by a disgusting man with that filthy look.
Based on this kind of psychology, Xu shi didn't like going to Shifu very much. Every time she asked for help, she would let the servants go, and the servants naturally couldn't find anything.
Zhao'er frowned, "You didn't tell Ah Jian about this?"
Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "How can you talk about something that doesn't have a shadow like this? Even if I tell my husband to question him, he will definitely not admit it, and he will just beat him up, but then my situation will be embarrassing. I'm afraid it will arouse the disgust of your husband."
Zhao'er sighed: "Actually, you should tell Ajian about this, Ajian is not an unreasonable person. As long as he speaks well and makes it clear, there will be no misunderstanding. Just like the last time I went to your house , I asked you about it, but I told Ajian, if you say no, I can't interject. Husband and wife, since they share the same bed, they shouldn't hide everything."
"I… "
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is because the marriage of the two is not like Mao Badou and Li Datian. Two people who were originally strangers were suddenly brought together. The so-called love of husband and wife is to respect each other as guests.
Each has its own knot, each has its own concerns, naturally the same bed and different dreams. It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, misunderstandings can easily arise.
Therefore, Zhao'er also suddenly remembered the union between herself and Xue Tingxiang.
If it is said that Mao Badou and Li Datian are married because they like each other. What about her and Ting Yan? Zhao'er suddenly found that she never seemed to think about it seriously.
Xu Shi quickly left.
Zhao'er doesn't know if the words she said to her are useful, but hopefully they are. And she, because of this sudden thought, actually struggled for a whole day.
After a day of sorting out, she felt that she liked Tingxiang, but what about Tingxiang? Is it based on parental orders, is it based on a habit, or something else.
When it was dark, Xue Tingxiang came back from outside.
During dinner, Zhao'er was always thoughtful.
Xue Tingxiang saw it in his eyes, but did not ask in detail, until after the meal was over, the children were sent away, and the husband and wife were ready to rest, and he casually asked if something happened today.
Zhao'er didn't hide it, so he repeated what Mr. Xu said today.
"I always felt that I was being too harsh on Xu Shi. She was not wrong. Instead, I asked her to understand Ah Jian, seek forgiveness and explain the misunderstanding."
Seeing her troubled appearance, Xue Tingxiang laughed, the more he laughed, the happier he became.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao'er was a little annoyed.
Xue Tingxiang said: "This has nothing to do with right or wrong, it has to do with the direction of the head. Let me give you the simplest analogy, if Badou Datian and his wife quarreled, I would definitely be on their side. What about you? "
Zhao'er subconsciously said: "I must be with Tao'er Yanran."
"That's fine. People are still close and distant. If Tao'er came to complain to you today, you would definitely not do this. Instead, you would immediately go to Datian Xingshi to ask her guilt."
Zhao'er sighed: "That's right. I hope Ah Jian can get along with Xu, otherwise..."
After this 'no', Zhao'er didn't say it, but Xue Tingxiang knew what it meant.
After the incident of Deng Wen Gu, Chen Jian became close to Xu Ge Lao for some reason, and when he was released from Beijing, A Jian married Xu Shi soon after.
Maybe others don't know, but Xue Tingxiang knows why Chen Jian married Xu, and seriously has something to do with him.
Men are utilitarian. This is something Xue Tingxiang has known for a long time, but after experiencing the first life in the dream and the first life outside the dream, Xue Tingxiang feels that it is most important to have her by her side.
"I didn't understand it at first, but now it seems that Badou and Yanran, as well as Datian and Tao'er, are really good. It's probably the happiest thing in the world when a lover gets married."
Hearing this, Xue Tingxiang was a little dazed, took his eyes to see that he was already lying on the couch, and didn't know what to think, so he sighed.
"Are you envious?"
Zhao'er nodded frankly: "Of course, look at Ba Dou and them, and then look at A Jian."
"What do you mean, are you unhappy?"
Seeing the face that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, Zhao'er blinked and said: "That's not true, but you can see that when Badou married Yanran, it took a lot of effort, how much love they are now, when we got married, It seems to be because of the parents' life?"
Xue Tingxiang's eyes narrowed.
Zhao'er was inexplicably guilty, and said, "Isn't it, I remember that when you told my cousin about our marriage, it was your parents' orders, and you didn't say anything like your heart's content."
"Wang Zhao'er!"
"What are you doing? You are so fierce, and your eyes are wide open, which means you are reasonable. You never said it before." At the end of the sentence, his voice became smaller and smaller.
"The mandarin duck hairpin that I gave you back then, and..."
"what else?"
Xue Tingxiang was a little helpless and angry: "I have done so much for you..."
"What did you do, why don't I know?"
Xue Tingxiang was completely defeated by Zhao'er, and said angrily: "You are not only blind, but also blind!"
I wanted to continue scolding, but I couldn't bear to see this face, so I could only sigh helplessly: "I don't mention the previous ones, I'll tell you now, Wang Zhaoer, I, Xue Tingxiang, are very fond of you, and it's your fault in this life. Marry, I don't want anything from everyone, just you. My heart is full of you, and I can't put it down on anyone but you... You're a grinder, now you're satisfied."
Zhao'er was amused by his helpless appearance, and laughed heartlessly.
"No, no, you're not a scholar. You don't say it beautifully at all. I remember that Ba Dou wrote a lot of love poems in order to coax Yanran, but you didn't write one for me."
Xue Tingxiang fell on the couch with a sullen look: "I can read, but I can't write poetry."
"Then you can change it."
"No change."
This is pissed. He also turned around and gave Zhao'er a backbone.
"You really don't change?"
Zhao'er poked him behind his back, picked up his waist and poked him, making him itchy, shrinking back and forth, but not looking back.
"Don't change!"
Zhao'er leaned close to his ear and blew on his ear with his mouth, but his ear shook, but he still ignored her.
"If you don't change, then I will!"
Still ignore her.
"Death and life are bound together, talk to Zicheng, hold your hand, and grow old together with your son."
This sentence was said in his ear, almost murmuring, and then Zhao'er saw Xue Tingxiang's ears turn red all of a sudden.
Xue Tingxiang took a day off on the 10th, and every time he took a rest, the family would get together for breakfast.
When eating, Ning Ning always looked at his father and mother.
But after looking at it, she didn't see anything.
After coming out of the main courtyard, Ning Ning took his elder brother's hand and asked.
This question was asked, how did Xue Yaohong know that his mother looked strange today, and his father was also strange.
In fact, from Xue Yaohong's point of view, it is not surprising.
He looked at it a lot when he was young. He didn't understand it when he was a child, but when he grew up, he knew that it represented the love of his parents.
Now Xue Yaohong is studying in Guozijian, and he has also met a group of sons and daughters of officials and eunuchs. Which one does not have a lot of concubines and concubines, so his family and his aunt's family are clean.
It's just that he definitely can't tell his sister. He can only say that her sister has read it wrong. Why didn't he see the strangeness of his parents.
Seeing this, Ning Ning could only give up the big brother's side and went to Tai Ge'er for help.
Usually, she never thought that she was younger than her second brother, and she had tried to make her a younger brother, on the pretext that everyone else had a younger brother, but she didn't. But Brother Tai ignored her, and she didn't succeed. But she seldom called Tai Ge'er brother, except under certain circumstances.
For example now.
"Second brother, you also think I've read it wrong, don't you think both father and mother are weird?"
For this kind of casual cramming, which is either a traitor or a thief, Tai Geer has always used indifference to express his insight into everything.
This expression annoyed Ning Ning, and decided to give up the two older brothers and go to his cousin for help.
Ning Ning ran away angrily, Xue Yaohong glanced at his brother who was the size of the radish head, but gave a calm and calm look, and said, "Big brother knows that you love her too, why are you always mad at her on purpose."
Brother Tai glanced back at him and said, "Brother, where did you see that I also love her?"
After speaking, Shi Shiran also left.
Leaving Xue Yaohong to touch his nose, he intends not to continue to struggle with this matter.
In the main room, Xue Tingxiang said sadly, "You owe me an explanation."
In front of the dressing table, Zhao'er waved back a few Chunlans, combed her hair in a bun, and was very busy.
"What explanation do I owe you?"
After combing her hair, she went to change her clothes. After a while, she wore a lotus cyan rolled and wide-brimmed embroidered jacket and a cyan silk dark-patterned embroidered horse-face skirt. She went back to the dressing table and sat down, drawing her eyebrows. Eye.
"It was last night..."
"I forgot what happened last night. Would you like to remind me?"
"You—" Xue Tingyan said angrily, "Wang Zhao'er, you are such a rogue, does your girl know?"
"Ningning doesn't know." Zhao'er replied. Turning around, holding a hairpin in his hand, he asked him, "Do you think this hairpin is worthy?"
Xue Tingxiang glanced distractedly, said something good, and then said again: "Then repeat what you said last night, and I will forgive you."
Zhao'er stood up and took a picture of the Liuli mirror. She was very satisfied, and then walked up to him with an innocent face: "What did you forgive me, and what did I do wrong? What else did I say last night? I said so many words late, how can I remember which sentence it was. By the way, if you don’t say that you are going to Ah Jian’s place today, I will pack up and let’s go.”
Xue Tingyan was so angry that her nose was crooked, she pulled her fiercely, and rubbed her skirt twice, until she was so angry that she told her not to wrinkle her clothes before letting her go.
The two went to Chen's house by car, and after waiting for a while, Chen Jian took the Xu family out.
Zhao'er looked at him from a distance and saw Xu Shi's pink face and peach cheeks, with shy brows and eyes, and expected that there might be a turning point between the husband and wife. In addition to comfort in my heart, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that this Xu family is not a fool either. He has been in custody before, and he doesn't know how to get along with husband and wife. Now that I have come to my senses, as long as I work hard, it should not be difficult for the two to be happy.
As for the other side, Xue Tingyan felt a little uncomfortable between his brows when he saw that Chen Jian was staring at him.
This discomfort was so dazzling in his eyes at this time. He couldn't help but hold a knife-like eye and stab Chen Jian with all his might.
Chen Jian cleared his throat and asked, "Ting Yan, what's wrong with you?"
The voice made the two women forget to come over. Xue Tingxiang was a little annoyed and angry, and said, "What are you going to do about Xiulan? Just let it be like this, and let that dog bully it?"
Chen Jian's face stiffened and said, "I want to bring her back, but she won't."
"You don't care if she doesn't answer? You're really a big brother... "
"Ting Xian!" Chen Jian said in pain.
Zhao'er interjected: "Why do you look like you've taken gunpowder today. This matter must be resolved, there are many ways to deal with Shi Zhiyou, it depends on what result Ah Jian wants to get. I gave the shares, I want to accept them. You can come back at any time. Xiulan in the flower shop is now doing a simulated potted plant for those literati and writers. Whether you do it or not does not affect the business. As for Shi Zhiyou, I forgot to tell you one thing. It's still in my hands."
Hearing this, everyone looked over.
Zhao'er was a little embarrassed and said: "Back then, Ting Xiang and I were in Dinghai when I suddenly received news that Shi Zhiyou married Xiulan. I originally planned to destroy the deed, but the deeds of those people were all on a piece of paper. I'm going to Shuntian Prefecture to sell my name again, because I haven't come back in the middle, so this matter has been delayed."
