Chapter 112
Several pepper trees in the yard are becoming more and more lush, with red and green fruits hanging all over the plants, which is really beautiful.
Xie Erjian picked a half-red and half-green one and put it in his mouth and took a bite. While chewing, he said: "The things of the Tibetan people are magical. After picking one batch of fruits, another batch will grow. I can't finish picking them all. By the way, look back."
I brought some seeds home and planted them. Once I’m used to eating them, they feel boring without adding some spiciness.”
"I think you are enjoying the good times and drinking at your brother-in-law's house, so you must have developed a naughty mouth."
While Xie Yidao was talking, he threw eucommia, velvet antler, epimedium, yam and other Chinese aphrodisiacs into the wine jar.
Xie Erjian picked up a piece of deer antler, smelled it, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are really willing to give up. You even used the money you spent to marry your wife to buy medicine to help your brother-in-law recuperate. I guess there isn't much left of the ten taels of silver reward, right?"
"Why are you anxious about getting a wife? It's more important to have a nephew. Our sister and brother-in-law have been married for almost a year, and there is still no movement in their stomachs. It's not like you don't know that our parents are worried. A mother is more valuable than a child. If my sister can't give birth to a child,
With half a son and a daughter, my brother-in-law will not be able to take any concubines when the time comes."
Xie Erjian was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother, do you think it's our brother-in-law who... can't do that?"
Xie Yidao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "This... is unlikely. Let's give him a fill-in first. Later, when my sister has time to go back to her parents' home, let her ask her third sister. After all, it's not easy for me to ask in this regard.
."
Xie Erjian threw the piece of deer antler in his hand into the wine jar, nodded and said: "Then put more, I heard that the three girls of the Fei family have fallen in love with our brother-in-law. That day Prince Ning wanted to kill his brother-in-law, so it was the three girls of the Fei family who lay there.
She is trying her best to protect her brother-in-law, and there is no chance that she will marry him in the future. With her beauty and family background, if our sister does not have a son and a half, the position of the main wife may be in danger."
"That's not true. I don't think my brother-in-law likes the new and hates the old. Besides, you haven't seen him doting on our sister." Xie Yidao sealed the wine jar with mud and buried it underground. After hiding it for a while, he could take it out.
Drink.
As soon as Xie Yidao buried the wine jar, Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan came out of the house, the latter holding the newly dressed Xie Sanqiang.
Yesterday, Fei Hong sent his servant Ding Dabao to inform Xu Jin that he should come to the mansion for lunch today. He also specially asked to bring Xiaowan with him, saying that several girls in the mansion wanted to get together.
Xie Xiaowan has been to the Fei Mansion before, but it was several girls from the Fei Mansion who invited her to play there. This was the first time that Fei Hong personally spoke.
Because of this, the little girl who usually doesn't put on makeup is specially dressed up today. Xie Xiaowan is not bad in appearance, she is a charming and charming little beauty, but her skin is a little darker, and she is not yet fourteen years old.
, the development potential is still huge.
"Big brother and second brother, today's groceries have been bought. You can prepare your own food for lunch." Xie Xiaowan warned.
Xie Erjian smiled and said: "Go, go, brother, our sister is quite handsome when dressed up, not worse than the third girl from the Fei family, brother-in-law, don't you think so?"
"Yes, the second brother is right!" Xu Jin quickly nodded in agreement, and Xie Xiaowan lowered her head in shame.
Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan took Xie Sanqiang out of the house, while Er Niu was responsible for carrying a basket of fresh fruits.
The four of them arrived at Fei Mansion, and the concierge welcomed them all in enthusiastically. This was the first time for Xie Sanqiang to come to Fei Mansion. This tiger-headed little guy looked around curiously, not afraid of anything.
Xu Jin and others were sitting in the living room. They had just finished drinking tea when they heard Fei Xiaoyu's cheerful laughter. A figure turned out from behind the screen first, and it was the little slave Zhu Houcong.
"Xu Jin, sister Xiaowan, hey, the little loach is here too!" Zhu Houcong ran over happily when he saw Xu Jin and the others.
This kid was wearing trousers and shorts today, and his pretty little face was rosy. He must have just finished exercising.
At this time, a group of young girls came out from behind the screen one after another. It was the three girls from the Fei family and the maids, which made people's eyes shine.
The three girls of the Fei family and all the maids are all dressed in short skirts, and their slim figures are pleasing to the eye. Fei Ruyi's illness has obviously recovered, her pretty face is pink and scarlet, she is dressed in a white Hufu, with a slim waist and round hips.
The crane is in the shape of a mantis, and the end is graceful and graceful.
"Sister Xiaowan, I've been waiting for you." Fei Ruyi stepped forward and took Xie Xiaowan's hand. Her beautiful eyes secretly glanced at Xu Jin next to her, with a hint of shyness on her pretty face.
Xiao Wantian smiled and said: "Looking at sister Ruyi's face, it seems that her illness is completely cured."
"Sister Xiaowan, is this your brother? He's so cute!" Fei Xiaoyu reached out to pinch Xie Sanqiang's round face, but the latter shook her and dodged.
Fei Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to squeeze again, a little unconvinced, but was shaken away by Xie Sanqiang again.
"Oh, it's such a small loach, I don't believe it can't be pinched." Fei Xiaoyu tried to pinch it again, but Xie Sanqiang nimbly hid behind Xu Jin and made a face at Fei Xiaoyu, luring all the maids.
Cover your mouth and smile.
Zhu Houcong took Xie Sanqiang's hand and said, "Sister Xiaoyu always likes to pinch other people's faces. Let's ignore her. Let's go to the back garden to play sepak takraw."
After Zhu Houcong said that, he took Xie Sanqiang and ran away. Sure enough, he was still a playful child.
"Hey, wait for me!" Xie Xiaoyu ran after him.
Fei Jixiang took Xie Xiaowan's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaowan, let's go and play in the back."
Fei Jixiang is more than ten days older than Xie Xiaowan, so he calls Xie Xiaowan his sister.
Xie Xiaowan looked at Xu Jin questioningly. Xu Jin smiled and nodded and said, "Let's go play."
Fei Jixiang said with a smile: "Let's go, your husband will be greeted by someone, and you are afraid of being snatched away."
Xie Xiaowan blushed slightly and followed Fei Jixiang to the back house. Fei Ruyi's face flashed with a hint of shame. She didn't understand that Fourth Sister deliberately created a chance for her to talk to Xu Jin alone.
Fei Ruyi bit her lips and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, are you... are your injuries healed?"
Xu Jin was not an idiot. Fei Ruyi desperately tried to stop Prince Ning from committing the crime that day, so he naturally understood what this girl was thinking about him.
As the saying goes, gentlemen are attracted by pretty ladies, let alone being attracted by such an outstanding beauty as Fei Ruyi, so Xu Jin was both moved and a little tangled, nodded and said: "Okay, thank you Miss Ruyi for your concern."
"Have you used the box of wound medicine I asked my eldest brother to bring?" Fei Ruyi finished speaking and her pretty face looked like the sunset.
Xu Jin was slightly shocked and said: "The wound medicine...oh, I used it!"
Xu Jin actually didn't use the box of wound medicine that Fei Maoxian sent that day, because his brother-in-law applied medicinal wine and took medicinal baths every day, so there was no need for it at all.
Fei Ruyi couldn't tell that Xu Jin was perfunctory. Her beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed, she lowered her eyes and said warmly: "Mr. Xu, sit down for a moment. The eldest and second brothers are probably coming out soon." After saying that, he turned around and walked behind the screen.
.
The maid entered the painting and glared at Xu Jin dissatisfiedly, and hummed: "Mr. Xu, it's a shame that my girl treats you like this." After saying that, she left with a sullen face.
Xu Jin touched his nose depressedly. What's wrong? I didn't apply the box of wound medicine!
Not long after, Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong came out. They were looking around. Xu Jin suspected that these two guys were late on purpose.
The Fei brothers chatted with Xu Jin in the living room for nearly an hour. Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly wonder why Fei Hong wanted to invite him to come over.
"The people sacrifice and the people receive, isn't Master Fei at home?" Xu Jin finally couldn't help but ask after drinking a lot of tea.
Fei Maozhong smiled a little mysteriously and said, "Dad is accompanying guests in the study."
Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly realized that since the little slave was here, King Xing was probably here too, and Fei Hong was probably chatting with King Xing in the study.
Xu Jin and the Fei brothers chatted for a while, and then a servant came to send word that they should sit down at the table.
Fei Hong invited Xu Jin to his house today in the name of a family banquet. The banquet was held in the side hall of the front yard, but Xie Xiaowan and Xie Sanqiang ate in the back house with the female members of the Fei family.
Xu Jin sat down at the table accompanied by the Fei brothers. Just after sitting there for a while, Zhu Houcong came. He had already changed into a bright yellow brother's clothes and looked even more handsome and energetic.
Zhu Houcong sat down next to Xu Jin, stuffed a pile of crumpled manuscript papers, and said a little embarrassedly: "I've finished reading, I'll give it back to you, but one page accidentally fell into the toilet."
Xu Jin couldn't help but have black lines on his head. In the past, he would have grabbed this kid's ears and twisted them, but now he couldn't. He could only silently put the stack of manuscript papers into his arms.
At this time, Fei Hong led several people into the dining room, namely King Xing Zhu Youyuan, governor Sun Sui, county magistrate Liu Qingyuan, Fei Cai, Zhu Youyuan's personal eunuch, and one person Xu Jin did not recognize.
After greeting each other and taking their seats, Fei Hong smiled and introduced the strange man to Xu Jin, saying: "Zi Qian, this is Mr. Xu Kui, the deputy envoy of Jiangxi's punishment and inspection, who also serves as the academic governor of this province."
Xu Jin's heart moved, and he quickly stood up and saluted: "Student has seen the great master!"
The so-called admiral is an official assigned by the imperial court to supervise local schools to supervise the educational affairs of a province. He is also known as the great master of academic studies. The academic examination in August will be presided over by the great master of academic studies.
Fei Hong called Xu Jin here today, obviously to help him show his face in front of the examiner.
Xu Kui's pseudonym was Rudeng, and he was from Gushi, Henan. He was tall and tall, with broad arms and a wide mouth. His appearance was a bit ugly, and he looked extremely serious. He nodded slightly and said, "Excuse me. Since Xu Ziqian is the head of Guangxin Mansion, he must have some experience."
You are a real person, I have read the article on your government examination, and it is acceptable!"
Xu Jin was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. From the tone of this great master of learning, it seemed that he was not very satisfied with his essay in the government examination.
It is said that Xu Kui has an upright character and a bit of a fierce temper. To put it bluntly, he is a bit old-fashioned and hard to accept new things. It happened that Xu Jin's policy questions in the imperial examination had some novel remarks, so Grandmaster Xu was very interested after reading it.
Micro words.
Sun Sui smiled and smoothed things over and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness has been smart and studious since he was a child. Why don't you, Ru Deng, give him a try?"
