, wonderful and free of pop-ups! Zhang Shisanniang slapped Zhang Xian on the eye and said angrily: "Now, you can't even let me go? Hurry up and give me a thank you gift."
Zhang Xian shrugged, retracted his hand and placed it by his side.
Zhang Shisanniang's eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness, tears welling up in her eyes. After holding back for a while, she whispered: "Today, I told my mother that as long as you can marry the Xu family, I will also have the opportunity to marry Xu Pingyi. I advised her Help you convince your father."
She tried her best to raise her head and prevent tears from flowing out, and said: "You and I both know that this is just a lie to my mother. In the final analysis, marrying him is impossible. For a person like him, the Xu family will definitely support him in Bianjing." Find a noble lady who is Shuhui, not the daughter of a businessman like me."
She deceived her mother this time not to help Zhang Xian, but just because she didn't want Xu Pingyi to worry about it.
She was very happy and satisfied that she could help him.
As for marrying him, she didn't dare to think about it.
Zhang Xian took off Thirteen Niang's hand and said with a sneer: "But father takes it seriously. I'm afraid you may cause trouble for Xu Dalang this time." His expression was full of ridicule.
"You!" Thirteenth Niang's body stiffened suddenly, her expression was tense and serious, and her face turned red.
No one can be as cunning as her brother.
He just asked the servant to pass on a word and let her do things for him without losing any of his own interests.
Zhang Shisanniang calmed down, took a long breath, and said: "No matter what, you have to give me a thank you gift."
If what she did today really brought trouble to Xu Dalang, then she would just try to persuade her father when the time comes. Tell her father that she has no feelings for Xu Dalang.
Zhang Xian lay down on the mat and said nonchalantly: "Okay, you can choose whatever you want from my warehouse."
"I want your piece of jade."
Thirteenth Niang put down her worries and left quickly.
…
It has been ten days since the beginning of autumn, but the weather is still hot.
At noon, all the dogs on the road got into the shade in the corner of the alley, each with their mouths open and their tongues hanging out. The woman was so frightened that she screamed and threw the basket in her arms as soon as she went out, scattering the vegetable leaves all over the floor.
The voices of men cursing could be heard from the courtyard, while children were driven out to collect vegetable leaves.
Earlier, Chuntang saw that the weather was still hot, so she made another outfit for Xu Nuo.
When Lu Erniang came to Xu's house, she happened to see Xu Nuo wearing it. She liked it so much that she asked Lu to let Chun Tang stay at Qian's house for a few days and help her make clothes.
Unexpectedly, after Chuntang left, Lu Erniang's sisters-in-law kept her here day after day. Now she has lived in Qian's house for many days.
After lunch, Qi Qiu fanned Xunuo while reminding her: "Madam, Sister Chun Tang has been to Qian's house for many days. I wonder when she will come back? I have always been clumsy. If she doesn't come back, I'm afraid that Grandma Li will Mom wants to blame me for not serving you properly."
"If you want to be lazy, just say it, what are you stupid about?" Xu Nuo sat up, lifted Qi Qi's chin with his fingers, and looked at her with squinted eyes.
Qi Qi's hand holding the fan stopped in the air and smiled awkwardly.
I thought to myself, why does my wife have the same expression as that dandy boy on the street?
In the midst of nervousness, Qi Qiyue hurriedly said: "Da Langjun returned home yesterday."
The lady usually cares about the Dalang Lord the most, but this time the Dalang Lord went south, the lady even dispatched a team of secret guards to escort him.
Now that the man has finally come back, the lady has not been looking for her all day long.
"I know." Xu Nuo withdrew his hand, lay back on the couch, turned sideways, stared at the motionless Bingjian in the center of the room, and said, "The secret guards wrote to me and reported to me along the way. My eldest brother has received a lot of attention this time. As for the blow, it’s better to wait until he feels better before looking for him.”
Seeing Xu Nuo staring at the Bingjian, Qiyue knew that she was greedy. She stood up, opened the Bingjian and took a piece of cold melon. She kept a certain distance from Xu Nuo, stretched out her arm and handed it over, asking: "Madam, there is only one month left." It's time to take the Qiuwei exam, and if Da Langjun is in a bad mood, will it affect future exams?"
When Xunuo saw Lianggua, he immediately turned over and sat up, ate the melon quickly, handed the rind to Qiyue, and then sighed: "Although my eldest brother is not easy to learn, he is extremely smart. He can pass the Qiuwei exam without trying his best." Pass."
The eldest brother has been protected by his father and mother since he was a child. Later he went to study. He was smart and good-looking. Both teachers and classmates treated him well.
This trip to the south was his first real contact with life.
He needed some time to digest the world behind the veil.
Xu Nuo felt inexplicably sad, but when she thought about Xu Pingyi encountering a flood on his way back to Bianjing and taking the initiative to lead the people to fight the flood regardless of personal safety, she felt proud of her brother from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that his wife's expression was getting sadder and sadder, Qiyue started chatting with Xunuo. After chatting for a while, Xunuo's mood did not improve, so she boldly asked, "Madam, do you know? That girl Xin'er from Wanxiang House, The first night will be auctioned on the 20th."
"Oh? Isn't she a geisha? Why, she still wants to sell her virginity?" Although Xu Nuo's voice was still lazy, she was obviously interested.
"I don't know about this little one, but I heard from people outside that this girl Xin'er belongs to Mr. Xiao Silang. Moreover, if the auction amount reaches 20,000 yuan, she can be redeemed directly." Qiyue's voice was extremely low. Yes, the words were tactful.
When she heard the news about Miss Xin'er's auction, she finally heard the man say that Miss Xin'er was actually Mr. Xiao Silang's person, and this time it was a cover for Mr. Xiao Silang to take her away from the brothel.
She and Chuntang also found out about Madam and Xiao Silang not long ago. Now that a girl named Xin'er has appeared, they don't know what Madam will think.
I just hope the lady can understand the meaning of her words.
Xu Nuo nodded and said, "She is indeed Xiao Silang's person."
Xiao Yuan told her about his stronghold in the capital and the people he contacted. Miss Xin'er from Wanxiang Tower is his very important point of contact.
Miss Xin'er is indeed his.
Qi Qi's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, does the lady know? And, not angry?
"What day is it today?"
"Today is fifteen."
"There are still five days left. We'll have some fun then. We can't let his people be ransomed by others." Xu Nuo became energetic, with a faint smile on his face.
Xiao Yuan's money will be kept as a betrothal gift for marrying her. This time, let her be a favor and help him protect his people.
Qiyue swallowed her saliva and looked at Xu Nuo in disbelief. She felt like she didn't recognize her wife anymore and asked in a trembling voice, "How can I get it together?" Isn't it true that a lady must avenge herself and vent her anger? Why have you become so magnanimous now?
Xu Nuo thought for a while and said, "Find a shop that has been the worst in making money recently and ask the shopkeeper to give me tens of thousands of dollars."
Qiyue hesitated for a moment before answering: "Okay." (.)
