The old lady said disapprovingly: "Didn't our family be recruited last year? There is nothing to panic, anyway, the conscription can't recruit us."

"Old lady, today is not the same as in the past. I asked the official a little too much, saying that each family has to pay another one. I asked if our Xi family can be exempted. Just staring at us country gentry and powerful officials, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape!"

The old lady Xi pondered for a moment calmly: "Impossible, no matter how chaotic the world is, it will not overwhelm the boss, it's just a threat."

"Ouch, old lady, this is not a joke, let the young master go out to avoid it for a while, I saw with my own eyes that many of the boss's sons in the town were taken away, even the most precious youngest son of Du Yuan's family was taken away." After leaving, Madam Du cried so much that she had snot and tears, and almost passed out!" The servant scratched his head and ears anxiously.

Now Mrs. Xi stopped talking, and Aunt Feng, who was standing aside, rolled her eyes, and hurriedly winked at the boy who came to report, signaling him to back down first, and then said to the old lady: "Old ancestor, look at this newlywed swallow." Yes, it’s not easy to break up this pair of mandarin ducks, it’s better to give some money to those who come to conscript first, so that they won’t be unreliable, and it’s better to delay it for a day or two, so that the young couple can love each other.”

The old lady Xi helped Nanny Qi's hand, and said seriously: "You let the guests eat and drink well, and let Xu Yao come out to drink with them later, and I will take care of those dog legs. Things without eyes, even our Xi Everyone dares to say that they want people."

After speaking, Mrs. Xi turned to the back.

The Xi family has a bank in Taimen Town, two cloth workshops, and quite a few tenants. The amount of money they received in a year is too small to be counted.It is just a matter of using some small money to manage the officers and soldiers who are recruited.

Mrs. Xi originally thought that this conscription would be just like the previous one, at most one person could be put in, but it was not that simple.

As night fell, Xi Wanxiang didn't really like the mingling of cups and cups at the banquet, and Xi Qingse who was sitting next to her, who was older than herself, was indifferent and didn't like to talk, so she slipped out of the chair quietly taking advantage of the clutter, and even followed Zhang's mother didn't notice.

Passing through the verandahs full of tree shadows, swaying red lanterns hang under the eaves carved with dragons and phoenixes. The old house has been around for decades, and there is always a faint fragrance of pear blossoms in the air, which is refreshing. .

There is a small courtyard in front of the couple's room, the room is brightly lit, and there is a silhouette sitting upright on the window pasted with the word "Xi".

The curiosity in Xi Wanxiang's heart became stronger, so she took a few steps forward, lying on the open door and peeking.

The door was opened a crack, revealing half of Xi Wanxiang's white face and a pair of eyes.

There is a pleasant smell of incense in the room, which seems to be the aroma of Sophora japonica, and the bulging filigree incense ball emits white smoke, which adds a bit of elegance to the festively decorated room.

Looking inside, Xi Wanxiang saw a woman standing on the edge of a bed made of red brocade noodles, and the girls were carrying melon and fruit wedding candies, but she couldn't see it if she looked inside.

Wan Xiang frowned softly, thinking that if she opened the door a little wider, she would be able to see the sister-in-law.

It is said that the day of becoming a bride is the most beautiful time for a girl. Since both Mama Zhang and Nanny Qi said that the sister-in-law is a good person, they must take advantage of the most beautiful time...

Before he could finish thinking, the door panel, which was originally a bit jerky, slid open automatically, and Xi Wanxiang fell flat with a "slap".

"Oh, little aunt, grandma, why did you come here when you didn't have the wedding wine in front?" The woman who was serving beside the bride ran over in three steps and two steps, and quickly helped Xi Wanxiang up, rubbing her big hands vigorously. Wan Xiang's forehead, "Where did it hit? Does it hurt?"

Wan Xiang wanted to cry, but her forehead didn't hurt before, but after rubbing it like this, it started to hurt.

A faint laughter came from inside, Wan Xiang supported the edge of the table, and at this moment the appearance of the room fell into her eyes.

The sister-in-law sat dignifiedly in the middle of the big carved bed, the red silk still covered her face impartially, the bright candlelight illuminated the room as if it were daytime, and also illuminated the wedding dress on her body, very beautiful .

"Are you Xu Yao's little cousin? What's your name?" the sister-in-law asked with a smile in her tone.She looked through the thin red silk, and could only see a vague outline.

"My name is Wanxiang." The voice of the sister-in-law is really nice, soft, but very quiet, giving people a sense of stability.

Seeing that the person is so small, with cute buns, the sister-in-law smiled and said: "Wanxiang, people are indeed as delicate as the flowers of the evening fragrance."

The old woman let go of Xi Wanxiang's forehead, and seeing a red round mark appeared on it, she pulled Wanxiang out with distressed and worried: "Oh, how can I say hello! Come here and fall for a while." I will be reprimanded by the old lady later, but don't blame me for not helping you!"

Walking, the mother-in-law yelled into the room again: "I would like to take care of the young lady!"

Xi Wanxiang was still immersed in the gentle voice of his sister-in-law, but suddenly heard Mrs. Xi's voice raised in pitch.

"I can't do this well, why are you still staying at Xi's house!" Even the crutches were knocked on the ground, it seemed that the grandmother was very angry.

The two couldn't help but stop, and saw a man in a straight coat plopping and kneeling in front of his grandmother: "I tried my best, but those officials just refused to take money. I heard that there was a new magistrate in Yongzhou, and he has a tough temper." Quite right, those officials who came to recruit soldiers also told the young one in private that there was no way to accommodate them. It turns out that the methods we used are not working right now."

The old lady Xi was so angry that she couldn't stand still, but Xi Xuyao, who was dressed in vermilion, hurried forward to help her.

Xi Xuyao ​​whispered in the old lady's ear: "Grandmother, do you think it's better for your grandson to go out and hide for a while? The grandson originally wanted to go to Jiangning with his father to do weaving and printing business, why not take this opportunity to go to Jiangning to find Dad! Besides, your grandson is still young and energetic, and it won't be too late to come back and give birth to your great-grandson after a year or so when he has the ability."

That's right, Xi Wanxiang remembers that just yesterday, the 19-year-old vigorous cousin even joked with herself quietly that she felt bound to death by the identity of the only grandson in the family, and wanted to go out and break out. Mingtang came back to give birth again, and said that he had never seen this daughter-in-law who came to his door, and he was not at all interested in the relationship between his children.Finally, he asked Wanxiang if she wanted to eat the mung bean sorbet from Jiangning. I heard it was sweet and glutinous, and not sticky to the teeth.

This is a good time, it just fell into his arms.

Mrs. Xi supported her polished cane, and glared at Xu Yao: "The other guy is at your age, and his son can have fun everywhere! He still wants to do business outside all day long. You have to have sex with Mrs. Yin first." Is it possible to let your grandmother rest assured when a baby comes out?"

Yin?The cousin's surname is Yin?This surname is not a common family name in southern Hunan.

Wan Xiang tilted her head, thinking about the sweet taste of mung bean sorbet for a while, and thinking about the gentle voice of her cousin.There was no focus on the conversation between the two of them at all.

The author has something to say: Yes!I just want to eat mung bean cake QAQ, I’m so hungry, so hungry
