Scholar and old attack

During the Chinese New Year period, everyone seems a little busy.

Those who can read are busy sorting out the characters in Tan Jingyuan's books that have been used or appeared one by one.

He Yuzhu was in charge of designing things related to clothing, and Chen Xiuxiu was in charge of some odd jobs and negotiating with people. Even Mu Junxi and Ren Quan came to help.

Everyone gathered around the Jiang family's courtyard like an ordinary office.

The clothes described in the book are designed one by one, and the clothing described in the book is made out, and the codes are marked and arranged neatly together.

The sisters of the Tan family even helped tailor during the day, and were busy making Linglong ointment when they returned home at night.

Lin Xuesong took the Linglong ointment that he had made, and found people to brag about it in the streets and alleys. For this reason, he even dressed up in men's clothes and went to the brothel to sell it.

Sure enough, people in this kind of fireworks place value their appearance the most. Knowing that Linglong Cream can beautify and maintain the skin, all of these young people want to buy more, so that they can keep their appearance forever.

There are two brothels in Wutong County alone, not to mention other counties in Datong, of course the most prosperous one belongs to Datong.

But Lin Xuesong dare not go back to Datong now.

On the contrary, Mu Junxi raised his head completely, because his husband successfully made the dragon robe, and helped Jiang Jingyuan and the others to successfully arrest several "rogue ministers and thieves", which made the emperor happy and gave him a third class. Royal merchants.

Don't look at it just as an imperial merchant, this is an official, a seventh-rank official of the Zhen Erba Jing, at the same level as the county magistrate, and their Ren family can have the final say on the cloth business in the entire Wutong County in the future.

If no one can do better dyeing than them in three years, the official rank can be raised one more level.

When a husband is promoted to an official position, he, a wife, naturally rises with the tide and becomes an official wife, whom everyone admires.

Don't look at the grandparents of the Mu family who were born as royal chefs, but that is the past tense after all, and they still don't rely on businessmen to make a living.

Many children of the Mu family married with similar status, and some of them married well, and they couldn't get children from concubines.

When the Mu family learned that not only was Ren Quan not beaten by others, but had a beautiful comeback, they were all shocked. Even Mu Junxi's father, the head of the Mu family, ordered people to invite Mu Junxi back.

Mu Junxi was busy earning money for Lin Xuesong, and when he had time to go back, he would say that the married woman poured water. Once he came out, his life in his in-law's house went smoothly, and he kowtowed to the one who didn't treat him well. Run home indifferently.

Anyway, his father is gone long ago, this father is optional, there are so many brothers and sisters in the Mu family, and it is not his turn to pay filial piety, if the brothers and sisters are all dead, it is more or less good to let him go back.

Mu Junxi thinks so, but he still has to go back to Mu's house first. Mu's house is still stuck with his birthday stickers. If he doesn't get the birthday stickers for a day, he won't be able to access the Ren family's genealogy.

"Go back, it's almost busy here."

Lin Xuesong undid the last button of his clothes, and rubbed Mu Junxi's back with his elbow.

During this period of time, he went to the brothel at night, and during the day he either came to Jiang's house to help, or he went to find some roles that he could not sing but could still sing. Earlier, he asked someone to find a stage troupe. After this month's hard work, he has been able to perform smoothly. Play a play.

He had to see if the effect was good before deciding on his next plan, and it happened that during this period of time, Mu Junxi could go back to Mu's house in Datong to have a look.

"Hui Hui Hui, return decently, this time I want to make the entire Mu family think highly of us, Jun Xi."

Ren Quan agreed with both hands and feet. He worked so hard not just to earn face for Mu Junxi, but now it's time to go back and improve Mu Junxi's face.

Mu Junxi didn't want to go back, but for that birthday post, she had to go back no matter what.

Thinking of the older sisters, older brothers and younger brothers in the family, each of them prepared a gift, and the cloth sent by the Mu family to the palace was carried on the carriage as if they didn't need money.

But as soon as he returned to Mu's house, everyone gave him a blow.

"Jun Xi, you feel sorry for your second sister. Since she was divorced the year before last, she has been unable to find a good marriage. I think your husband is pretty good. Why don't you marry Ren Quan as your wife? Anyway, you A brother can't be the life of a regular wife, and your second sister will not compete with you just because of her name."

The aunt of the Mu family sat in the side hall with the members of the Mu family, trying to make Mu Junxi retreat.

In her eyes, she has always looked down on her elder brother's status, and she has never seen anyone who has an elder brother as his wife. Giving a concubine status is an excellent master.

Mu Junxi was holding the veil so tightly that it was about to tear it apart. If it wasn't for Nian's kindness in nurturing him in this family, he wouldn't have brought back so many gifts.

Sincerely, I really fed the dog.

Seeing that Mu Junxi didn't speak, the Mu family's aunt thought that he was as easy to handle as before, so she looked a little bit complacent, and continued to speak slowly,

"This fat water doesn't flow into other people's fields. Your second sister is the mistress of the Ren family. Because of your relationship as siblings, she will not embarrass you no matter what, but if someone else picks the peaches, she won't dare. Guaranteed what your day will be."

Mu Junxi snorted coldly in his heart, if the second sister really let in, it would be hell, the house was restless, he didn't know what kind of temperament his second sister was.

You have to be strong in everything, and everyone in the world must revolve around her, and if there is a little bit of dissatisfaction, they will complain everywhere, saying how this person abused her.

Her ex-fiancé, who had such a good personality, was tortured so much by her that he had no choice but to quit the engagement, which shows his character.

Thinking of this, Mu Junxi unconsciously turned his eyes to the seat of his second sister. At this moment, his second sister's eyes were burning, as if she was bound to win this matter.

Mu Junxi raised his eyebrows, did he still regard him as the submissive person he used to be? He once wanted to please the mistress because he had no way out, and everything about him in the future would be controlled by the mistress.

So he is very aware of the pain of being a concubine. The child born must be judged by the color of the mistress every day. Now that he can find a wife who is willing and willing to marry him, why should he give it up to others.

Not only was Mu Junxi not angry, but he wanted to laugh a little. It just happened to cut off the last trace of his affection for this family. If he stepped out of this door today, he, Mu Junxi, would no longer be a member of the Mu family.

"The mistress really has a good plan."

Mu Junxi looked at the people in the room with a sneer, his tone was as cold as the weather outside, it was the twelfth lunar month.

Seeing that Mu Junxi didn't answer as she expected, the mistress of the Mu family felt a lump in her heart, but she didn't panic, she pushed the birthday post on the table, and said calmly, "Mu Junxi, you are just a concubine. You are still a brother, what right do you have to speak to me in such a tone."

Mu Junxi smiled coldly, stood up from the table, rushed to the table and snatched his birthday stickers, "Just because I am the mistress of the Ren family, a serious official wife, the second sister If you want to enter the door, you still have to ask me if I agree, if I don't nod, I will sleep for my husband, and it will be in vain."

Mu Junxi's movements were too fast, and many people in the room did not see his movements clearly, so he snatched the birthday stickers.

After grabbing his hand and throwing down the harsh words, he ran towards the door, kicked open the door of the side hall, pulled up Ren Quan who was still sitting outside drinking tea, and was about to get up, but was still surrounded by people who had reacted.

Ren Quan was still chatting and laughing with Father Mu, but for Jun Xi's sake, he can let go of the past.

Before he could say a few words, he saw Mu Junxi running out in a hurry, surrounded by everyone, and the fool knew something was wrong.

"Is this how your Mu family treats guests? Today, I have gained some knowledge by serving as someone."

Ren Quan's face darkened on the spot, and Mu Junxi came out in a hurry without sitting on his buttocks for a long time since he came back. He must have been bullied.

The mistress of the Mu family also knew that something was wrong, suppressed her dissatisfaction with Mu Junxi, and said with a smile, "This is all a misunderstanding. Our family Junxi hasn't come back for a long time, and I have forgotten many etiquettes. I just talked to my sister. They were just kidding."

The mistress of the Mu family winked at the second sister of the Mu family while she was talking. The second sister of the Mu family understood, approached Ren Quan, cast a wink secretly, and said softly, "Yeah, it's all just a joke. Big brother Ren still doesn't know what to do." Please do not mind."

Ren Quan was directly disgusted by her, what he hated the most in his life was this kind of delicate and artificial person, otherwise he wouldn't be almost 30 years old and hadn't married a wife yet.

Because the women he has seen are either weak and weak, or three obedience and four virtues, or this kind of affectation, no matter which one he doesn't like.

And Mu Junxi is different, he is very special, ruthless and unreasonable, in the eyes of others he looks aggressive, but he likes this kind of true temperament.

Of course, he prefers Mu Junxi's initiative.

"Hmph, don't call me big brother. I'm your brother's husband. You should call me brother-in-law. What's your name? Big brother Ren is so affectionate. People who don't know think this is not Mu's house but a brothel."

Ren Quan looked at him coldly, and pulled Mu Junxi to take two steps outside the door. The surrounding people wanted to stop him but dared not.

"I have learned the Mu family's way of hospitality today. For Jun Xi's sake, I will not argue with you today. If you still dare to stop me, I want to try whether it is your Mu family's wrists or our Ren family's." Big wrist."

Ren Quan's words were clearly intended to be a threat, and he could see that the Mu family simply did not welcome their family, so why bother to stick their hot faces and cold asses here.

The Patriarch of the Mu family wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Ren Quan's face, he knew that today would not be good, so he had to let Ren Quan and Mu Junxi out of the Ren family.

As soon as he got out of the gate, Mu Junxi saw that the carts of cloth he had brought hadn't had time to unload, so he was hard-hearted, and said, "Pull these back for me."

He wants to give his own things to whoever he wants, even if he is a beggar on the side of the road, he will not give anything to the Mu family. It is good that he is a concubine, but he has also served the mistress of the Mu family since he was a child.

He did what others were not willing to do with all his heart, and he was willing to do what others were unwilling to do. Even her own children might not be able to do this.

The concubine's birth is indeed the concubine's birth, after all, it can't compare to the exquisiteness crawling out of the belly of her mistress, each of them has shallow eyelids, thinking about what is in other people's bowls.

And this time returning to the door, Mu Junxi went out with a smile, and went home angrily, making Ren Quan not dare to breathe all the way.

"It's all because of you, a promiscuous bastard."

Mu Junxi was sullen for a long time, and in the end he could only vent his anger on Ren Quanqian.

Ren Quan rubbed his nose, he didn't do anything, how could it be his fault again, really echoing Jiang Jingyuan's words, being a husband is hard, being a good husband is even harder.

As soon as Ren Quan came home, he wrote Mu Junxi's name into the genealogy, and also Liujin Ren Jingxuan's name in it. Dacao hosted more than a dozen banquets and announced to everyone that he just married a My brother is my wife!

When the news came back to the Mu family, the Mu family's mistress was slapped several times by the Mu family's head on the spot, and a good marriage was ruined by her, a wife who failed to accomplish anything but failed to do so.

The second daughter who was originally entrusted with a heavy responsibility by him is not taken seriously now. Why use a useless daughter? She can't be that bastard of Mu Junxi. If every bastard can marry like Mu Junxi A good family can bring benefits to the family, and he doesn't mind promoting them as legitimate sons.

As soon as the busy first month passed and the time entered the end of January, Jiang Jingyuan was finally about to leave for the capital for scientific research.

If the scientific examination goes well this time, he probably won't return to Jiangyu Village again, and will settle down in the capital in the future.

When he didn't leave, he wanted to leave, and when he wanted to leave, he was really reluctant.

The third grandmother who often delivered food to their family behind the house, and the old patriarch who was quite fond of their family were all people he was very reluctant to part with.

"Don't worry about the family property. I've already told Sister Hongmei that she can stand alone now."

Since Chen Hongmei helped Xu Shuizhou manage the store, Xu Shuizhou has taught her a lot, and she has been promoted to the chief housekeeper long ago.

Chunya also hired a teacher to teach him, he is very smart.

Once a woman has confidence and confidence, she is really not afraid of anything. Later, Xue's family came to see Chen Hongmei twice, and even saw that Chen Hongmei could earn money now, and wanted to remarry.

Chen Hongmei broke his leg with a few sticks, so he threw some money into the medical clinic, asked the doctor to heal his leg, and threatened him that if she saw him come to Jiang Chunya again, she would kill him. If you kill him, you will lose money if you can't beat him.

The Xue family was really scared. They would never be able to offend such a rich yet ruthless woman.

"It's the people and the scenery that I can't bear to part with."

Jiang Jingyuan wandered around the village with Xu Shuizhou, trying to remember the scenery and people here firmly.

Xu Shuizhou teased and teased him, "It's not certain whether you can pass the exam, don't talk too much, if you don't pass the exam, you won't be able to come back."

Jiang Jingyuan smiled and pursed his lips, and stopped talking. The emperor didn't want to use him, so how could he not let him live.

The two were having a great time swimming, and Jiang Shu ran out of breath and came to Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou.

I thought the child was in a hurry, but seeing him crying with tears streaming down his face, he said heartbrokenly, "Brother Jing Yuan, grandpa... grandpa...he can't do it anymore."

Jiang Jingyuan froze in place as if struck by lightning, and then ran wildly towards the old patriarch's house.

The old patriarch had already recovered from the past, and with his last breath, he saw Jiang Jingyuan coming, took his hand, and said inarticulately, "Okay... child..."

I don't know if I have finished speaking, but my eyes are tightly closed together.

"woo woo woo woo……"

A depressive cry came from Jiang Jingyuan's mouth. He knew that people would die eventually, but he never thought that this day would come so soon.

The old patriarch hadn't seen him pass the Jinshi yet.

Xu Shuizhou was also choked with sobs and couldn't speak. In the past two years, the old patriarch would be invited to come and have fun with all the big and small things in the family.

In their hearts, they have long regarded this old patriarch who favored them as their relatives, and they never thought that the day of parting would come so soon.

Jiang Shu knelt by the bed and cried until his face was pale. He was brought up by his grandfather since he was a child. Now that his grandfather is gone, he really has no relatives left in this world.

Because the two people present were brothers, only Jiang Jingyuan helped to tidy up the old patriarch's face and change his shroud.

Perhaps because the old patriarch knew that his days were not long, he bought the coffin early, which saved the step of entrusting someone to buy the coffin.

As a result, as soon as he was dressed, the door of Ting Ling's room was opened by someone. It was none other than the elder son of the old patriarch, Jiang Shu's father.

Jiang Jingyuan thought he was also here to help collect the funeral, so he didn't think too much about it, but as soon as he entered the door, he searched in a mess.

"What are you looking for?" Jiang Jingyuan looked at him choked with sobs, a sternness flashed in his eyes.

"Money, my father has saved a lot of money after being the patriarch for so many years. He usually suppresses us and doesn't hand it over when he dies."

Jiang Shu's father said without even thinking about it, other people's fathers are all kinds of subsidies for the eldest son, but his father squeezed the money to death, and never gave them a copper coin.

Jiang Shu's father seemed to have thought of something after he finished speaking, he raised his head and stared at Jiang Jingyuan with red eyes, "Why are you at my house now? It can't be that my father is partial to giving you all the money."

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that his father had always favored Jiang Jingyuan, and it was very likely that he gave Jiang Jingyuan all the money before he died, so he could explain why Jiang Jingyuan would appear at his house at this point.

Jiang Jingyuan felt a chill in his heart, looking at the old patriarch whose bones were not yet cold, he really felt worthless for him, when he was about to die, his son still thought of money.

It seems that the old patriarch knew the temperament of his children a long time ago, that's why he didn't call them when he was dying, and let himself go cleanly.

"I didn't see any money. If you don't believe me, you can search your body."

Jiang Jingyuan's words were as cold as winter ice, which made Jiang Shu's father shiver.

Looking at Jiang Jingyuan's deep and bottomless eyes, he felt a little scared instinctively, and shuddered when he thought of Jiang Jingyuan's methods of manipulating people.

Money or life.

Jiang Shu's father thought about it for a while, and finally decided to die. He ran out of the door with lightning speed.

Looking at Jiang Shu who was still kneeling on the mourning hall outside, he kicked him, "Your grandfather is dead, do you want to go home with me?"

"No."

Jiang Shu bared his teeth in pain, but still endured the pain and rejected his father.

His parents don't like his brother's identity, and if he goes back, he doesn't know how he will be tortured.

Seeing that his son refused to go back with him, Jiang Shu's father didn't force him, and the villagers who heard the news from outside also came to express their condolences one after another, so he didn't dare to do anything to Jiang Shu now.

"It's alright."

Xu Shuizhou came over on his knees and patted the dust off Jiang Shu for him.

Jiang Shu shook his head, and whispered to Xu Shuizhou in a hoarse voice, "My father will not let it go. I may go to my husband's house after the funeral. Brother Xiaozhou will really take care of himself from now on."

"Take care, we will see you later."

Xu Shuizhou reluctantly buried her in his arms.

During the few days of the funeral, Jiang Jingyuan was still a little worried about Jiang Shu's husband, but after a few days, he was completely relieved of him.

Chen Juan is an ordinary talented man with a very poor family background, but fortunately, after learning that the old patriarch passed away, he hurried to help.

After a few days, people are very dedicated, and they have to do everything by themselves, which is better than that of ordinary people's filial sons.

Originally, Jiang Jingyuan was also afraid that he was someone with ulterior motives. After all, the old patriarch had said before that if he asked him to take care of Jiang Shu more, he would go to the meeting soon.

Later he found out that it turned out that Chen Jun was admitted to the scholar because of the sponsorship of the old patriarch, and the condition of the old patriarch was that he marry Jiang Shu as his wife.

After so many years, he has long regarded the old patriarch as his grandfather, and also regarded Jiang Shu as his husband.

After finding out the nature of this person, Jiang Jingyuan completely handed over Jiang Shu to the old patriarch after he was buried.

"A poor man will never be poor forever. I handed Jiang Shu over to you today in the name of my elder brother. If you treat Jiang Shu badly in the future, I will take you as a questioner."

Jiang Jingyuan beat Chen Jun in the end, and told Jiang Shu, "If he bullies you again in the future, don't be fooled by others. Chenjiacun is my grandfather's village, just run to his house .”

Jiang Shu cried and nodded repeatedly. He got married today, and he didn't have a red dress or grandpa to send him off. Only Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou came to send him off.

"good."

Xu Shuizhou wiped away his tears for him, and handed over a package that he had prepared earlier to Jiang Shu, "This is the dowry that A Yuan and I prepared for you. How can you get married without a dowry."

"I do not want."

Jiang Shu's voice has been hoarse from crying these days, and he refuses to accept the dowry that Jiang Jingyuan prepared for him.

Chen Juan said, "Brother Jiang, thank you for your kindness. Xiaoshu and I passed three letters and six ceremonies three years ago, and Xiaoshu's dowry was carried into the house back then, and it is still dusty."

What he said made Jiang Jingyuan look at him three times. He was dressed in patched clothes, but he was able to hold back his husband for three years. It can be seen that he is a qualitative person.

The old patriarch's eyes were indeed vicious.

"Take it, what my brother gave is different from what my grandfather gave."

Jiang Jingyuan forced Jiang Shu with the burden in Xu Shuizhou's hands, and the old patriarch asked him to take care of Jiang Shu.

Originally, Jiang Shu still had to keep his filial piety for three years, but the old patriarch had already considered his son's virtue, and asked Chen Jun to give the betrothal gift three years ago. You only need to go to your husband's house to observe filial piety.

Jiang Shu saw that Jiang Jingyuan was determined, so Shi Shiran accepted it, gave Jiang Jingyuan the younger brother's gift, and left hand in hand with Chen Jun.

After dealing with the matter of the old patriarch and Jiang Shu, Jiang Jingyuan was ready to leave for the capital.

Before he even walked to the door of the house, he heard his son and daughter, who were only seven and a half months old, suddenly call for someone.

"Fu...fu."

"Fu...fu."

Jiang Jingyuan froze in place, and turned around to look at the two children held by Xu Shuizhou and Chen Xiuxiu.

Their eyes were bright, the corners of their mouths were still drooling, and their words were extremely unclear, but Jiang Jingyuan knew that they were calling him.

Xu Shuizhou was also pleasantly surprised, "Oh, I will be a father in only seven months. My child is really smart."

Jiang Jingyuan picked it up and hugged it for a while, and coaxed in a deep low voice, "Good boy, Father is going out, you must be obedient at home."

I don't know if the two of them understood, but Jiang Jingyuan left two wet kisses on their tender cheeks, and finally kissed his cheeks when Xu Shuizhou didn't pay attention.

Chen Xiuxiu didn't look sideways, and she learned to automatically put "Marshak" on the pictures of her son and husband-in-law loving each other.

She doesn't know what Mazak is. It's all said by her son. When she sees something she shouldn't see, she will automatically put Mazak on her eyes.

Xu Shuizhou didn't care about Chen Xiuxiu's presence this time, thinking that Jiang Jingyuan was about to leave, this was their last tenderness, and responded to Jiang Jingyuan's deep and moist kiss.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your blessings. Dad is not in danger of life, but has multiple fractures on his body. He needs to use surgical frame plates and nails.

As long as people are okay.
