Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 162 Aunt

When Ruan Jindie, a female chieftain from southern Yunnan, came to Xiang's mansion, Xiang Yuan was picking grass and flowers in the garden with the twins to cheer them up.Far away, Ruan Jindie heard the soft and crunchy milk voice and shouted anxiously: "Daddy, Daddy, it's wrong, it's not like this, the head is not like this, Song Bo made up the head of the bird is straight, Daddy This is all crooked!" Then another milk voice sounded: "Yeah, that's right, Daddy, do you really know it?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, Daddy will try again."

Being told by two little dolls that the bird he made up is not as good as Song Da, even with a thick skin like Xiang Yuan, he still feels a little hot.

You know, the two little guys in front of the head admire him the most as their father, they think he is omnipotent and omniscient, but unexpectedly they fell on a little straw thing.

From the bottom of my heart, I feel sorry for him, no matter in this life or in the previous life, he has never had such a rural experience, and it's not like it. I really can't blame him.

Ruan Jindie looked at Xiang Yuan, who was gentle and teasing the children, feeling rather puzzled in his heart.Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who holds great power, would look like this at home.

"I don't think Mr. Xiang is such a loving father in private. Seeing how skillful he is in coaxing the baby, he must have helped a lot on weekdays."

Zhao Shen frowned slightly.

From the moment the female chieftain came in, she always made him feel like she was talking to a junior, no matter how she spoke or how she acted. Now she made such comments about Mongzi, and the meaning in her words became more casual.If it's not that they don't understand the rules of the Central Plains, it's that they deliberately make things difficult for others.

Zhao Shen was a little unhappy.

Ruan Jindie saw Zhao Shen's displeasure, rolled her eyes, and just smiled.There are so many rules in the Central Plains, even a compliment should be thought through.

When there are distinguished guests coming, Xiang Yuan naturally treats them solemnly.It's just that distinguished guests don't come according to the rules. It is clearly stated in the post that they will pass through the house tomorrow, and they will come if they are proficient.Xiang Yuan cursed a few words from the bottom of his heart, he had no choice but to leave the two brothers and sisters who were having fun, wash up a bit, and go to receive guests.

The three of them were seated in the hall as the guest of honor.Ruan Jindie looked around Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen without hesitation, his eyes full of interest.

Xiang Yuan said a few words in a calm and polite manner, and the same question as his daughter-in-law popped up in his heart.

The female chieftain looked at her, why was her attitude so casual.

The few people were polite for half an hour, Zhao Shen felt that his face was going to freeze, and the female chieftain just left.Rubbing his face that was slightly stiff because he kept smiling all the time, Zhao Shen complained casually: "I really don't know what she is doing here."

Xiang Yuan waved his hand and asked Wang Qing to bring up the gifts brought by Ruan Jindie, opened them one by one carefully, his eyebrows darkened, he chuckled lightly, and said to Zhao Shen: "I don't know why, but the gifts here are all top-notch. Chic."

Zhao Shen frowned, walked over and looked at it carefully, he was shocked in his heart.

Two adults with two fists, white as jade, a fifteen-layered ivory ball carving, a white jade and red sandalwood bottom cabbage ornament, a pair of five-foot-high red coral bonsai, and another "Fishing Picture Alone in a Snowy Night" seems inconspicuous, but it is from The hands of master Xue in the previous dynasty are also well-known today.There are also five knives of Chengxin paper, the four treasures of the study, a duan inkstone, a Zihao ivory brush, and an ingot of pine smoke emblem ink.Zhao Shen was terrified when he saw it, these gifts, any one of them was worth a lot of money, let alone being delivered to the door in one place.

"Could it be that this female chieftain has something to ask for?"

Zhao Shen pondered over and over again, but he couldn't think of why the stranger who had never seen him before gave such a generous gift, except that he asked Congzi for something, he couldn't think of anything else.Not to mention the value of the gift, the request is definitely not small.

"Congzi, if you have nothing to do to show courtesy, you can either rape or steal! This gift is really hot, so why don't you find a chance to return it."

Xiang Yuan ordered Wang Qing to take the gift down for safekeeping. Hearing his daughter-in-law's worried words, he smiled and said, "It's okay. When the female chieftain leaves Beijing some other day, we will still send a generous gift of the same amount, and the matter will be settled. As for asking I'm doing something, I reckon it's true, and I won't be in such a hurry. But if you really ask for it, I have my own way to deal with it."

Hearing that Xiang Yuan said that he knew what he was thinking, Zhao Shen finally let go of his worries.Although he knew the depth of the water in the capital ahead of his head, he didn't realize until he was actually in it that the water was really unusually deep.And the interests of all parties are intertwined. Yesterday you and I were enemies, but now we may be able to get married.Those who are still staring and criticizing each other today may be able to sit together and drink tea and chat tomorrow.For example, Mr. Gu Ge and Mr. Li Ge are now friends with Congzi in the next generation, and they are very happy. They can't see that just a few years ago, these two families were involved in suppressing and bullying Congzi.

Zhao Shen was in business, so he naturally knew that there must be a relationship of interest to maintain it, but in the end he couldn't help seeing Xunzi being wronged, and complained to him a few times, but he didn't care about Xingzi at all.

"It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. These people are jealous of oppressing me. Is it because I have the ability! Don't care how you make a fuss, let's see who has the last laugh. This is true."

It's Ya's, and it's Grandpa's. It's on top even if you haven't drunk it.

The matter of the female chieftain was discussed by the two and then left behind. Xiang Yuan only told Niu Er to pay more attention to that end on weekdays, and to report back if there was any movement.A few days later, I heard that the female chieftain left Beijing to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers in a hurry, and said that she would return to Beijing in the future. The presents sent by Xiang Yuan were all confiscated by the female chieftain, but she said that she would come back when she came back. Xiang Zhai visits.Xiang Yuan frowned for a moment, he really couldn't figure out what the chieftain's plan was, and based on the reason that the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, she stopped paying attention.

I thought it would take a long time to see Ruan Jindie again, but I didn't think it would only be ten days, this female chieftain not only came to the door again, but the person who accompanied her here was also an acquaintance.

"uncle?!"

That's right, it was Xu Huan who came here together, and seeing that he and Ruan Jindie walked together without any shyness, it was clear that the relationship between the two was not simple.

Xu Huan seemed very embarrassed, his handsome face flushed slightly, he fake coughed twice, and introduced to Zhao Shen and Xiang Yuan: "Hey, what is that, this is your aunt."

Zhao Shen, Xiang Yuan: (⊙o⊙)...

Looking at Ruan Jindie, who was bright and charming in front of him, looking at them with crooked eyebrows, Zhao Shen was stunned.

No wonder Ruan Jindie looked like an elder to them before, so she should be here.

Ruan Jindie is a female chieftain in southern Yunnan. To put it bluntly, she is the local emperor of southern Yunnan!The uncle is actually the husband of the chieftain? !Doesn't this mean that the young man from the Central Plains who was widely rumored in Beijing to be favored by the female chieftain is his uncle!

However, the little husband in the mouth of the opener is clearly a spoiled and proud man who is Zhang Naqiao, and according to the rumors, Ruan Jindie is not the image of a gentle and virtuous wife in the Central Plains, he is smiling for Bo's beauty The land emperor who spends a lot of money!

Going through the rumors outside in his mind, he looked at Xu Huan and Ruan Jindie carefully. Xu Huan was drinking tea slowly with an arrogant expression on his face, while Ruan Jindie was whispering something from the side. Looking at it, he was clearly apologetic, but Xu Huan didn't have a good face in a daze, but Ruan Jindie only smiled dotingly on this.

Doting smile!

Zhao Shen was not taken lightly by the thunder.

Xiang Yuan quickly came back to his senses, glanced at Ruan Jindie meaningfully, and said: "I don't think there is such a relationship in it, no wonder the chieftain in front of me sent such a heavy gift, my husband and I couldn't understand it. The mystery of it is that the hair of sorrow is really gray."

Ruan Jindie smiled brightly, and glanced at Xu Huan, who was drinking tea uncomfortably, with her raised phoenix eyes, and said: "Although Brother Huan and I are elders, we haven't fulfilled the responsibilities of elders for many years. A while ago, your uncle was injured, and it took him two or three years to get better. Naturally, he couldn’t return to the Central Plains. After that, it was because of my selfishness that I prevented him from returning to the Central Plains. Don’t look at your uncle’s indifferent face. It seems that I miss you, my nephew, from the bottom of my heart, and I always say a few words from time to time. These gifts are just to make up for our guilt."

On the other side, Xu Huan, who had listened to Ruan Jindie's words, was really reminded of the past, and explained to Zhao Shen with slightly red eyes: "Your father insists on entering the Zhao family, and I can't stop it. In fact, there is something in my heart." I'm a bit angry, but I don't want to just go out and almost die, and because of this, I haven't seen your father for more than ten years. He is so tired that he always thinks that something bad happened to me, and his heart is full of depression. If it weren't for this time Go back and meet him, let him see me standing in front of him alive, your daddy will be sad for a long time in secret."

Zhao Shen couldn't help but sigh, his nose was sore.Father has never mentioned that he has an uncle since he was sensible, but at certain times, he is always very unhappy, and Zhao Shen caught him burning paper money a few times, but when he asked carefully, Xu Yixuan never mentioned it.Now listening to his uncle talking about how close he and his father were when they were young, and how their grandparents placed high hopes on them, Zhao Shen gradually understood the pain in his father's heart.

It was a scar created after extreme despair, and it couldn't be touched easily.

The nephew and uncle broke their hearts, and they became a little closer than before.Xu Huan was excited in his heart, and before he left, he deliberately pulled Zhao Shen aside and said, "Although you and Congzi were born very close together, times change and people's hearts are fickle. You don't have any backing behind you, so you are not at ease. Uncle Although it's not enough to be a backer, but at least you have a reputation, you can bluff people to some extent, and you can have more confidence when you go out to socialize."

Zhao Shen didn't want Xu Huan to plan this far for him, and was quite moved in his heart.Although Xu Huan was in southern Yunnan, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and some things seemed to be beyond his reach. However, it must be known that southern Yunnan has always been a difficult place. Defense is difficult to attack, it is really not a bone to chew.Since Daliang opened the dynasty, it has given South Yunnan preferential treatment, and the several chieftains in South Yunnan are all knowledgeable people, paying tribute every year, and putting on a full-fledged attitude, so the two sides have lived in peace for many years.

This time, Emperor Jing'an learned that Zhao Shen was Xu Huan's nephew, out of the intention to win over and appease the south of Yunnan, before Xu Huan and Ruan Jindie left Beijing, he made an exception and gave a banquet in Hefeng Garden, allowing Xiang Yuan to take Zhao Shen to the banquet together, during the banquet Jing'an Emperor An made inquiries again and again, and he was very happy, just like the usual entertainment between good friends.When the news spread outside, people in Beijing and China were divided.The good thing is that from now on, Zhao Shen's entertainment in the circle of wealthy ladies in the capital is much smoother than before.At that time, people were watching people order dishes, sizing up Zhao Shen without any backing or background, and there were not a few people who slandered him respectfully on the surface.Now that they were told that this handsome young man was actually the nephew of the female Tusi Fulang from southern Yunnan, everyone restrained their attitudes a lot.

To this, Zhao Shen's attitude was indifferent.Whether people praise him or ridicule him, in his opinion, it doesn't affect him much.Life is for himself, only he feels comfortable, no matter how others criticize him.As Congzi said, those people who make trouble out of nothing are just making their own lives unhappy and wanting others to be unhappy.Especially those who say that he is not good looking but monopolizes the favor, they are definitely jealous!To this, Zhao Shen expressed full agreement.

After recognizing his uncle, Zhao Shen finally came up with an idea that could be run.There are many medicinal materials in southern Yunnan, and there are many precious medicinal materials. However, due to the poor roads and the different folk customs between the Central Plains and southern Yunnan, even the merchants who have glimpsed the huge benefits here have not done much business in this medicinal material after much consideration. , are mostly small fights.But even so, the benefits are quite enviable.

However, the difficulties mentioned above are nothing to be feared by Zhao Shen. He has an aunt who is the emperor of the land, and the medicinal material business is very easy and profitable for him.

Long before Xu Huan and Ruan Jindie left the capital, Zhao Shen stayed up all night discussing the matter with Xiang Yuan. The couple discussed for several nights and drew up no less than ten drafts, and only then did they sign a contract properly.After Zhao Shen and Ruan Jindie clarified the matter, the female chieftain in southern Yunnan couldn't help but look at Zhao Shen with admiration.He just thought that he was a little brother with some brains, and his current status should be due to Xiang Yuan. He didn't want Ruan Jindie's perception of Zhao Shen to change immediately after seeing this contract.

Also, as Xu Huan's nephew, how could he be just a little brother who lives in the inner house.Ruan Jindie Aiwujiwu, not only readily agreed to cooperate, but also directly gave Xu Huan the share that Zhao Shen wanted to give.Seeing this, Zhao Shen let go of most of the hidden worries about his uncle's situation in his heart.

After the cooperation was negotiated, Zhao Shen was busy setting up a firm and recruiting staff thereafter.Due to the long distance, in order to minimize the loss of medicinal materials during transportation, Zhao Shen listened to Xiang Yuan's suggestion and spent a lot of money cruelly, setting up a small pick-up point in several important towns and prefectures along the way, which can be sold or stored. Those in charge are all old shopkeepers whose loyalty and ability have withstood the test.After a big move, even if Zhao Shen boasted that he had some family background, he couldn't stand the fear.Holding a series of account books after spending in his hand, Zhao Shen's heart trembled.This time is really a big bet, if you lose.Zhao Shen resisted the numbness of his scalp, and pretended to be relaxed and said to Xiang Yuan: "Don't worry, Congzi, if you are really unlucky and lose money, it will be a big deal. Don't worry, you will never be asked to go out to entertain without money!"

Xiang Yuan: (⊙o⊙)...

Daughter-in-law, I'm really not a softie.Although the salary is low, but now that he has a house and a car, he really doesn't have to worry about it!

When the first batch of medicinal materials were successfully shipped out and sold, Zhao Shenwo was crackling in the study, making calculations and smiling, and finally, throwing away the abacus, he said to Xiang Yuan with contempt: "I'm happy today, let's go." Go to Jinyu Manxiang Building and enjoy it."

Seeing the high-spirited appearance of his daughter-in-law, Xiang Yuan felt itchy in his heart, grabbed him, and while leading him to the Arhat bed in the inner room, interrupted him: "Instead of going out to eat, it's better to ask Wang Qing to order the noodles and deliver them to your door. Drinking for two months, but it has a special flavor, which is a hundred times better than going to sit in that building."

When Zhao Shen heard this, he really moved, and immediately wanted to call Wang Qing.Xiang Yuan pressed against Zhao Shen's ear, blew, and said ambiguously, "No hurry, no rush, before now, let's finish what we need to do, and then we can have dinner with nothing else to worry about."

"What, what should I do?"

Old man, old man, Zhao Shen doesn't understand what Xiang Yuan wants to do at this time, but his mouth is always stubborn, even though his ears are red, he still insists on not giving up.

Xiang Yuan laughed softly, and murmured: "You will know later."

Zhao Shen was laughed at and started to tremble from his ears, and suddenly pushed Xiang Yuan away with great strength, his brows and eyes were slightly drunk, and he snorted: "Whatever you, I'm going to ask Ximian to eat."

As he spoke, he was about to walk out.How could Xiang Yuan let it go, he intentionally smiled evilly, opened his arms, and rushed towards Zhao Shen like a hungry tiger rushing at a sheep, shouting in his mouth: "Good kiss, I will give you better food for my husband."

In Zhao Shen's eyes, this rascal look made him feel even more aroused for some reason.The two were joking around in the study room, they could hear their bickering before, but after a few breaths, the servants guarding outside could only hear some ambiguous movements coming from inside.Seeing this, all of them blushed like blood, looked at each other a few times, and all stood outside spontaneously, but they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the master and his wife really have a good relationship.
