You fell off the horse just now

The first thing Chen Jue did when he returned home was to sneak back to the study and change into a new suit. People in the gambling shop like to smoke big cigarettes, and even if he doesn't smoke, he will get the smell.

Halfway through, Wu Sirui opened the door and entered.

"Husband, I heard that you returned home, why didn't you go back to your house?"

Chen Jue was so frightened that the jade belt in his hand fell to the ground, and was about to pick it up, but Wu Sirui picked it up for him first.

Wu Sirui looked at Chen Jue suspiciously, and asked, "Husband, why did you change your clothes?"

Chen Jue groaned, he usually likes to gamble and have fun, but Wu Sirui usually doesn't like these tricks, so he has been hiding it from Wu Sirui.

Chen Jue said: "Today I went out to drink tea and spilled tea, so I changed my clothes. Madam is doing well today? I specially brought your favorite mung bean cake to Madam."

Wu Sirui's eyes flashed, she knew about Chen Jue's gamble before they got married, but the Chen family's parents are kind, and the important thing is that there is a rule from the Chen family's ancestors that there is nothing wrong with a regular wife and that no concubines are allowed.

This is exactly what she likes, and except for Chen Jue who is a little bit unmotivated, she has a gentle temper and is considerate to her. If she is willing to correct this point, she will marry into the Chen family.

Sure enough, after getting married, the husband and wife have a harmonious relationship, except that Chen Jue often goes out of the house to gamble secretly.Chen Jue thought she didn't know, and she planned to pretend not to know before she found a good time.

"My husband has a heart."

Wu Sirui tidied up Chen Jue's clothes considerately. Smelling the faint smell of tobacco, she suppressed the faint dissatisfaction in her heart. Gambling can be big or small, and a perfect plan is needed.

Thinking of this, Wu Sirui recalled Lu's entrustment before getting married, so he said casually: "I want to go home to visit my parents in two days, and my husband can go with me."

Chen Jue was almost responsive to Wu Sirui's request, "It's okay, last time my mother got a ginseng, and she said she wanted to give it to her mother-in-law, so I happened to take it with her."

Seeing that he missed his parents, Wu Sirui smiled.

Chen Jue recalled the scene he saw at the entrance of the gambling house today, hesitantly said: "I don't usually get in touch with my brother-in-law, so I wonder if he has any hobbies?"

Wu Sirui never thought that Chen Jue would mention Wu Sicai, they only met a few times.But when it comes to the younger brother, Wu Sirui also misses her a little bit, after all, she can't go back home to visit often after she gets married.

Wu Sirui thought for a while and said: "Little brother, probably the only thing he loves most is doing business. I see that he is quite talented in doing business, but this is not the right way after all."

Chen Jue had a different opinion, "I heard others mention that it seems that my brother-in-law's business is flourishing and he is well-known in the capital chamber of commerce. If this is the case, the future is limitless."

Wu Sirui shot him a look and sighed: "Could it be that a family like ours is short of that money? But...it's not certain, after all, my younger brother has been doted on since childhood, so it's not certain what will happen in the end."

Wu Sicai is the pillar of Xibohou's mansion. I'm afraid that if there is something wrong with him, Chen Jue thought twice and said in a low voice: "I saw a person on the street today who looks [-]% like my brother-in-law, but maybe I admit my mistake. people."

Wu Sirui heard something in his words, "Oh? Where in the world is there such a similar person, maybe it's my younger brother. He likes to hang out in the streets on weekdays. It's not surprising that my husband meets my younger brother."

Chen Jue said: "I saw that person holding hands with a handsome man, acting intimately, I think I must have mistaken him."

These words flickered, Wu Sirui gave a "thud" in his heart, and said vaguely: "That must be a mistake, but I have never heard that my younger brother has a close relationship with any young master."

Chen Jue said: "Well, I also felt that I was dazzled, so I didn't go up to say hello. Speaking of which, my brother-in-law should have reached the age of marriage, I wonder if mother-in-law has any plans?"

Wu Sirui thought about it carefully, it seemed that Mother was never in a hurry about the younger brother's marriage, most people who were around the same age as the younger brother were engaged, but the younger brother's marriage has not yet been settled.

Thinking of this, Wu Sirui suddenly lost his mind, and now he wished he could grow his wings and fly back to Xibohou Mansion to inquire about the situation, this matter cannot be fooled.

There are three siblings in the family, the elder sister Wu Sicai, she is the second, and the younger brother Wu Sicai.I heard from the old man in the house that the grandmother named the eldest sister Wu Sizhen with a simple and clear meaning, so that the next child will be a boy, but it is a pity that it is her turn to be a girl. Fortunately, the birth of the younger brother can be regarded as a solution Grandma's knot.

If so, the little brother really has that habit...

Wu Sirui suddenly panicked.

Chen Jue hadn't seen her reply for a long time, and seeing that she was out of her mind, she knew that she had listened, so she said: "Why don't you ask about the situation when Madam returns to her natal home to visit her mother-in-law in a few days, and then she can also ask her to advise her mother-in-law."

Wu Sirui was stunned for a moment, "That's fine, I'll go back home when I have time." Seemingly remembering something, she added: "My husband is usually busy, so don't let me accompany you in the future, I can go back home alone."

Chen Jue responded considerately, "It just so happens that I have an appointment to watch the dragon boat race the day after tomorrow, and then my husband will send his wife back first before meeting friends."

The day after tomorrow will arrive.

After giving simple instructions early in the morning, Wu Sirui went out with Chen Jue.

Outside the gate of Xibohou Mansion, Chen Jue thought about the private conversation between the mother and daughter, and said, "Madam, I will greet my mother-in-law when I come back to pick you up."

With that said, Chen Jue took out the wrapped ginseng from the carriage, and said, "There is still this ginseng, remember to give it to your mother-in-law."

Wu Sirui was led off the carriage by Chen Jue, and the maid took the gift box from Chen Jue's hand, and then instructed: "My husband, be careful when you are out, I will wait for you in the mansion."

After sending Chen Jue away, Wu Sirui turned around and went into the mansion just in time to meet Wu Sicai coming out with green bamboo shoots.

"Second sister!"

Wu Sicai was also a little surprised to see Wu Sirui, since returning home, this was the first time seeing her second sister.

"Second sister, why don't you have time to go back home today, mother must be very happy to see you. Where is second brother-in-law? Why don't you see him accompany you?"

Wu Sirui smiled and said: "Only people who are married know how homesick, so I just came back to take a look today. Your second brother-in-law has something to do and just left after seeing me off, Si Cai, are you going out of the house?"

Wu Sicai nodded, "About a friend to watch the dragon boat race, it's quite lively today, hey, second sister, why don't you come and watch it with your mother later."

Wu Sirui thought that Chen Jue also mentioned today's dragon boat race, it seems that there are quite a lot of people going.

"No, the sun is high in the afternoon, I will stay at home to accompany my mother well, so I won't join in the fun."

Wu Sicai knew that Wu Sirui didn't like to have fun, so she said: "Second Sister, go in quickly, Mother is picking flowers in the back garden right now. I have an appointment with someone in a hurry, let's go first."

Wu Sirui had an idea and remembered what Chen Jue mentioned that day, "Hey, I don't know who you dated today, third brother?"

Wu Sicai didn't expect her to ask this, but still responded: "A few friends, I think you don't know Second Sister."

"Oh." Wu Sirui nodded with a smile, "Then you go quickly, don't make people wait."

Wu Sicai said: "Well, if you can, Second Sister, why don't you stay in the mansion for a while, I got a piece of material last time, just in time to cut new clothes for you."

"Hey, okay, you are the most caring."

Wu Sirui looked at the leaving carriage thoughtfully, then she whispered a few words to the maid next to her, only to see that maid followed Wu Sirui into the door and turned out of Xibohou's mansion.

Mrs. Lu was picking flowers in the back garden to make some flower cakes. Now that the eldest daughter and the second daughter are getting married one after another, she will always be lonely at home. It is rare for Wu Sirui to return home today. dishes.

Lu has been worried that Wu Sirui's life will not be good after marriage, but now seeing her ruddy complexion, she is a little relieved, "Sirui, is there something to do when you go back home today?"

The daughter is the mother's treasure, Wu Sirui took a look and said with a smile: "Can't you come back if you have nothing to do? Is it possible that the mother treats me, a married woman, as an outsider?"

Knowing that this daughter has been articulate since she was a child, Mrs. Lu said with a smile, "How can it be, it's just that your bride often goes to her mother's house, and her husband's family is bound to be unhappy, so you need to pay more attention to many things when you get married."

Wu Sirui sighed inwardly, she didn't realize the difficulty of being a daughter-in-law until she got married.

"Mother, don't worry, my mother-in-law is very kind to her daughter. When I came back today, my mother-in-law got a ginseng plant a few days ago. Didn't I ask me to bring it back for you?"

As Wu Sirui took out the gift box, Lu took it and saw that it was indeed a good-looking ginseng, and she was completely relieved when she saw it.Originally, Chen Jue had a bad habit of gambling. At the beginning, she said she didn't want Wu Sirui to marry Chen Jue, but Chen Jue's parents were transparent and open-minded, and the mansion was not as complicated as other mansions. At least she agreed to Wu Sirui's marriage to Chen Jue.

Lu said: "It's costing your in-law's wife, and when you go back to the house, you can order some new tea from a few days ago. My in-laws are scholars and want to have a good drink."

Wu Sirui covered her mouth and smiled, "Mom, you are not afraid that Dad will be angry with you."

Lu's slender eyebrows raised slightly, "Could it be that your father will work hard with me for some tea?"

The two have always had a deep affection as husband and wife, this remark was just a joke, Wu Sirui has always envied her parents, and only hoped that she and Chen Jue could have such a long time in the future.

Seeing her daughter in a daze, Lu said: "But do you have something on your mind?"

"Could it be because my uncle likes to gamble?"

Wu Sirui returned to her senses and replied: "Since we got married, my husband has treated me well. As for the gambling, after my observations these days, my husband only goes to the gambling house on a fixed time, and the amount is not large, otherwise the father-in-law and mother-in-law You will find out early on, and his temperament is not like a person who will put all his eggs in one basket."

Mrs. Lu thought for a while, and then said: "From this point of view, it's not that this matter has to be changed."

Wu Sirui also thought of everything before marrying into Chen's house. She already had a way to deal with Chen Jue's gambling, but she still had to help from her natal family.

Lu's second daughter could tell what was on her mind just by looking at her expression, and said with a smile, "Tell me, mother will help if she can."

Wu Sirui smiled, and said slowly: "Didn't dad intend to find an official position for my husband before we got married, if possible, I would like to ask mother to come to Chen's house one day, mother-in-law is not an unreasonable person, as a parent, she should More than anyone else, I hope that my husband will do something, and with the joint efforts of the few of us, my husband's temperament must be changed if he does not change."

Wu Sirui's eyes were full of calmness, and Lu sighed in his heart, most of the women met their husbands just once before they got married, and it would be false to say how deep their feelings are.But Wu Sirui is like this now, it seems to be business affairs, I don't know if it is good or bad.

However, as a mother, she was naturally reluctant to refuse her daughter's request.

Lu sighed: "This matter is simple. When your father returns home, I will mention this matter to him. I have to have something to do before I can go to Chen's mansion to talk about it."

"Thank you ma'am."

The couple talked for a while, Wu Sirui saw the maid Qiuyun standing at the gate of the garden looking around, so she found an excuse and went out of the garden.

Wu Sirui avoided the crowd, and asked the maid Qiuyun, "Is it visible?"

Qiu Yun nodded, "Returning to the young lady, the servant followed the young master all the way to the river, and saw him boarding the boat with the young master."

Wu Sirui's heart skipped a beat, "What kind of young master?"

Qiu Yun thought for a while, and replied: "The young master is very handsome, he is on par with the young master."

For some reason, Wu Sirui felt that this person was the one Chen Jue said, and she became more and more worried in her heart, if the younger brother really had that habit, would the Xibohou Mansion not be able to shake the sky in the future.

"Only two?"

"Well, the servant only saw that Qingsun followed the young master on the boat, and the young master was accompanying him."

Wu Sirui, who was always calm, couldn't keep calm now, and went back to the garden worried.

The author has something to say: Third young master: I just want to swim in the lake with my sweetheart, can't I?
