The fragrance of Liang Zhutongren has reached the road

The year after Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai got married was also the year when Ma Wencai returned home with his wife. He was appointed by the imperial court as county magistrate of Yin County, succeeding the previous county magistrate who became official due to illness. .

Liang Shanbo pursued a policy of being close to the people, and he went to the streets in plain clothes to care about the lives of the people. As a wife, Zhu Yingtai not only respected her mother-in-law at home, but also often followed Liang Shanbo to the streets to get close to the people, and the aunt and lady in the neighborhood acquaintance.

On this day, the two of them went to the street to gossip with their neighbors again, and saw a carriage approaching from a distance. Although Liang Shanbo knew it was the Ma family's carriage, he didn't remember that the Ma family had always been strict, except for the prefect Ma. Besides Ma Wencai and his wife who are far away in the middle of the capital, who dares to use the master's carriage to go out?He dragged Zhu Yingtai to the side of the road and stared curiously at the carriage that was about to pass them. Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped shortly after passing them, and a man in his twenties got out of the carriage. It was actually Ma Wencai who he thought would not be here just now.

"Brother Wencai?!" Liang Shanbo bowed in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Ma Wen would come back to Yin County.

"County Liang, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you're fine?" Ma Wencai knew that the new local magistrate was Liang Shanbo the day after he came back, but he didn't go there specifically to talk about the old relationship, because he happened to meet today. Just stopped to say hello to him.

"Everything is fine, Brother Wencai is working in Beijing? Why did he come back suddenly, but what happened in Beijing?" Liang Shanbo thought that few people would give up their bright future and would rather die among the people, so he guessed whether Ma Wencai would live well in Beijing Not as expected, will resolutely return home.

"You don't need to think too much about County Magistrate Liang. I just decided to come back because my father is here alone, and my wife and I have been at ease for several years. It's always time to come back and serve the old man well." Ma Wencai smiled and said indifferently replied.

"Brother Wen Cai's wife...why don't you see her come out? Where are you going? If you have free time, we should get together." Zhu Yingtai looked at the slightly fluttering door curtain beside Ma Wencai, intending to see her again Seeing the woman who had experienced the same experience as her, she kindly wanted to invite Ma Wencai and his wife to have a chat together.

"I'm afraid it won't work today. We have just returned to Yin County for a few days, so we have time to go back to my mother's house today. Why don't you come to Ma's house some other day?" Meng Fangxia opened a corner of the curtain, poked her head out, and smiled. Zhu Yingtai politely declined Zhu Yingtai's kindness.

"I'm going to see grandpa and grandma!" Xiao Yaya yelled with a smile on her face as she lay under Meng Fangxia.

"This is Qianjin?! What a lovely child." Seeing Ma Xinya smiling at her without fear, Zhu Yingtai returned a kind smile, looked up at Meng Fangxia, and asked.

"Yeah! You're quite a naughty girl. I heard that you two got married not long ago? I should congratulate you." Meng Fangxia looked at Zhu Yingtai with a trace of fatigue in her eyes. Taiwan's dislike has faintly decreased.

"After all, this street is not a place where you can talk about your feelings freely. If Liang County Magistrate doesn't dislike it, then as my wife said, would you like to have a gathering at my house when you have time in the future?" Ma Wencai turned his head and glanced at Meng Fangxia, Then he turned around and said to Liang Shanbo.

"Alright, then don't waste Brother Wencai's time, we will come to visit someday." Liang Shanbo saw that the carriage was indeed blocking the way of many people, so he had no choice but to agree.

Then, they bid farewell to each other and continued their original itinerary. Zhu Yingtai looked at the receding carriage and was a little dazed....

"What's the matter, my lady? Are you feeling unwell?" Liang Shanbo took a few steps forward, and when he turned his head to talk to Zhu Yingtai, he realized that Zhu Yingtai was still standing there, so he turned back and asked with concern. .

"I'm fine, let's go! My mother-in-law is still waiting for us to go back to have lunch." Zhu Yingtai suddenly came back to her senses, shaking her head and smiling as if nothing had happened.

Of course, Zhu Yingtai's heart is not really all right, but although she knew that Ma's family was in Yin County earlier, she never thought that she would meet them again one day, maybe she subconsciously ignored that they all lived in Yin County, even though No matter how vast the place is, it is impossible not to encounter the possibility, not to mention Ma Taishou is Liang Shanbo's boss.

At the beginning, when Zhu Yingtai learned that Meng Fangxia was also a daughter and returned home to get married, she really disdained Meng Fangxia's ignorant behavior in her heart. The top five rankings in the academy should also be intelligent and far-sighted, how can you be easily entangled by the world, and let go of the pursuit of learning?Anyway, we have to fight for one or two.

It's just that after being persecuted by family letters in the next six months, Zhu Yingtai realized how difficult it is for a woman to fight for a piece of world outside, and later accidentally heard that even the once famous little lady of the Xie family wanted to Considering the family marriage, she had no choice but to marry into the Wang family, and she felt that she was extremely lucky to be able to get such a good marriage after fighting for a year.

Zhu Yingtai naturally knew that Meng Fangxia was married to Ma's wife. She had imagined that Meng Fangxia would marry in a hurry. Could it be because of Ma Wen that she couldn't understand Meng Fangxia's behavior in the academy, or that she was so in love with her? She was afraid that she would surpass her husband, so she used some shady means to force Meng Fangxia to return to her hometown to get married. She thought that Meng Fangxia seemed to be a lazy person on weekdays, but someone who had the courage to go out to study had a temperament. It must be staunch, I am afraid that the life after marriage will be very depressed, right?Although she is not familiar with Ma Wencai, she also knows that he is not a soft person. She followed her all the way to Yuhang, and entered the academy together. It is not known whether she is monitoring her fiancee's behavior. Jun, how can Meng Fangxia's life be easier?

Unexpectedly, when they saw each other today, Zhu Yingtai realized that what she was thinking was completely wrong. Although she only saw Meng Fangxia's face, she had already told herself clearly and tactfully that her married life would be different. Lived well, had a very happy life, and already had a daughter under her knees, seeing the clever and intelligent appearance of that girl, presumably Ma Taishou liked it quite a lot.

As soon as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai stepped into the house, Yin Xin rushed forward to meet her, and said in a low voice: "Master, madam, the old lady is waiting for you to come back for dinner, I have already asked several times."

"Understood, let's go in now." Zhu Yingtai took a deep breath and nodded helplessly.

Hearing Yin Xin's words, Liang Shanbo walked into the room quickly, and saw Mrs. Liang sitting there angry like a child, while the little girl serving her was patiently pinching her arm.

"Mother, why don't you eat first? If you die from starvation, you will be ill." Liang Shanbo walked up to Mrs. Liang and coaxed him softly.

"I know you guys dislike me for being old, an old woman is useless! I haven't seen anyone all day, let alone, at noon, you two don't want to come back for dinner, and I'm left alone... What's the point of me being alive? Ah~~." Mrs. Liang burst into tears as she spoke.

"Mother~ son, isn't this back? Who said he wouldn't come back to accompany you? Isn't it just that I met a former classmate of the academy today, and I couldn't help but chat with him a few more times before delaying the time." Although Liang Shanbo was powerless In this situation, he still held back his emotions and explained patiently.

"Yes! Mother, my daughter-in-law and my husband rushed back all the way. I'm afraid you will be worried, so don't be angry. My daughter-in-law will serve you for dinner. Sister-in-law Wu said that she made chicken soup today, which is just for you. .” Zhu Yingtai also stood on the other side, smiling lightly to comfort the old man.

"No need! You are a rich lady, delicate and expensive, how dare the old lady ask you to serve? I think I didn't do any rough work when I was in the country? I thought that my son would be old and promising, and I could do it myself. I have been enjoying the blessings for a few years, but I didn’t expect that this blessing is not for everyone, the old woman has no life! I will go back to the countryside tomorrow morning. Although raising pigs and vegetables is hard work, it is much happier than here. Besides, Aunt Yang, I haven't seen Mrs. Wang for a while, I don't know if they still remember me as an old woman." Mrs. Liang babbled about her discomfort with living in the city, although she didn't mention anything bad about her son and daughter-in-law. But in Zhu Yingtai's ears, it sounded more sad to her than accusing her of wrongdoing in front of her.

"Mother! If you are allowed to live in the country alone, how can I let my son feel at ease? There is nothing wrong with this city. You have to miss our neighbors. After a few days, when my son is free, I will come back to you." Just take you back to see them, you should eat first." Liang Shanbo sighed heavily, although his mother was not very literate before, she was a very sensible person, how come after going out for a few years, her mother became Some love is vexatious?Besides, she was very happy when she was said to take her into the city, wasn't she?

"Hey! It's been half a year since the daughter-in-law got married? When will you have a grandson? Do you want the old woman to continue to live? Yes! If there is a grandson or granddaughter, the old woman will stay and be an ox or a horse for the two of you!" Mrs. Liang suddenly stared at Zhu Yingtai's stomach, and kept nagging about her grandchildren.

Zhu Yingtai lowered her head and didn't dare to answer, she is not the only one who can make decisions about having children, if it is possible, why would she not want to give birth to a son and a half daughter, so as to share the old man's thoughts?

Liang Shanbo managed to coax Mrs. Liang to eat, Zhu Yingtai diligently waited on the old man after eating and washing up, and after the two sent her back to her room to rest, she was relieved to go back to her own room to rest.

"Mother is getting older, it's inevitable that some...may I ask you to take care of me a little bit more." Liang Shanbo comforted Zhu Yingtai with some guilt when he saw Zhu Yingtai's slumped expression as soon as he entered the door.

"It's okay. Serving my mother-in-law is what I should do as a concubine, but my husband is worried about it." Zhu Yingtai smiled stiffly, even if she could speak bluntly about other things, she didn't dare to say anything wrong with her elders.

"In two days... let's visit Ma's house. When the lady and Mrs. Meng were in the academy, they already missed a chance to make friends and almost had a grudge. But seeing her today, it seems that they don't care about the past, or we can walk around more with her. , and for no other reason, just being a lady has one more friend, and one more person to talk to." Liang Shanbo carefully suggested.

Zhu Yingtai raised her head to look at Liang Shanbo in doubt, wondering how Liang Shanbo would bring this up suddenly, but because she happened to have the same thought, she didn't bother to ask further questions, she just nodded her head to express her understanding.

In fact, Liang Shanbo didn't think too much, he just remembered that Kong Mu once told him that Mrs. Kong originally intended to match Meng Fangxia and Zhu Yingtai and let them be good sisters. Unfortunately, Meng Fangxia politely rejected Mrs. Kong's kindness. At that time, he guessed the reason for Meng Fangxia's refusal, so he didn't take it to heart, but today he felt that the tone of Meng Fangxia's invitation to them was not polite, so he wanted Zhu Yingtai to try it. Get to know Meng Fangxia again.
