Chapter 114 The Dowry
That night, Xu Jin returned to the room after finishing his evening repair and lay lazily on the bed, while Xie Xiaowan sat in front of the dressing table and happily sorted out the small items given to her by the girls in the Fei family, such as rouge, gouache, and blush.
, flower yellow, eyebrow pencil, headwear, etc.
As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty. Although Xie Xiaowan usually doesn't like to dress up, it is mainly because she is reluctant to spend money on dressing up. At this time, receiving so many makeup gifts, the little girl's girlish nature was released, and she acted in front of the mirror.
Learning to put on makeup awkwardly.
Xie Xiaowan had just finished taking a bath. She was only wearing a close-fitting shirt, revealing two sections of her white arms. The girl's curves were just beginning to bloom, like a tasseled bag. Coupled with her hair scattered behind her back, she added a bit of charm.
.
Xu Jin looked at the little girl's alluring slender waist and pretty figure, and felt a little ready to move, with a burning feeling in her belly.
Student Xu quickly pulled a thin mask over his body to hide it, and secretly screamed in shame. It seemed that he was losing more and more control over this little girl. Maybe one day he couldn't help but do it to her. He really had to endure it until he was eighteen years old.
I'm afraid something will go wrong.
Xu Jin coughed lightly and said: "Xiaowan, it's very late, let's go to bed quickly."
Xie Xiaowan said meekly, put away all the items obediently, blew out the lamp and climbed into bed, but before she could lie down, she was hugged tightly by her husband.
Xie Xiaowan murmured shyly. Although the two had been sleeping in the same bed for more than half a year, and the little girl was used to sleeping in her husband's arms, she was sensitive to something strange tonight. Her husband's hot breath was blowing on her.
The look on her face made her heart tremble and her body tremble.
The little girl now knew very well what it was, and she asked authentically: "Ms. sir...?"
Xu Jin said nonchalantly: "It's okay, don't worry about it, just chat with your husband and it will settle down!"
Xie Xiaowan secretly spat and twisted her body unnaturally, instantly causing someone to tremble like an electric shock.
Xiao Wan couldn't help being slightly startled, and quickly stepped back a little, blushing and saying: "Mr. sir, does it hurt you?"
"Uh... No, by the way, did you have fun in Fei Mansion today?" Xu Jin didn't dare to hold Xie Xiaowan anymore, lest the gun accidentally go off, he quickly changed the topic to distract his attention.
Xie Xiaowan hummed and said, "I am happy, but I am worried about what to send back."
Several girls from the Fei family gave a lot of gifts today, especially the third girl, Fei Ruyi, and even prepared gifts from Xie Xiaowan's brothers, a pair of shoes for each of them.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "I still have the bag of sweet potatoes that fourth brother brought last time. Why don't I give some to the girls in the Fei family to try tomorrow?"
Xie Xiaowan immediately shook her head and said, "I don't want it, that's too tacky."
"Then why not buy some rouge and gouache as gifts? Girls all like these."
Xie Xiaowan hesitated: "Wouldn't that be too insincere? Someone else gave me these things, and now I'm sending them back."
Xu Jin smiled and said: "It seems a bit...forget it, you better think about it yourself."
Xie Xiaowan's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Ms. sir, I've thought of it. How about you draw a portrait for each of Sister Ruyi and the others?"
It is said that Xu Jin had sketched a pretty portrait for Xie Xiaowan before, but it had been too long since he had practiced it, and the drawing was really average. However, Xie Xiaowan liked it very much, and even framed it and put it in the closet, and took it out to appreciate it when he had time.
"No!" Xu Jin quickly refused. He was quite self-aware of his sketching skills. He could barely qualify as a beginner. It would be rude if he didn't draw anything like it.
"Ms., please help me just once." Xie Xiaowan leaned into Xu Jin's arms. This girl has learned to act coquettishly now.
Xu Jin said helplessly: "Okay, but I won't do it next time."
"Thank you, Mr. Xie!" Xie Xiaowan happily gave her a kiss. In the little girl's opinion, her husband's painting level was naturally quite high. Her own painting was quite beautiful. The painters selling paintings on the street could compare with her husband.
Far from it.
It’s no wonder Xie Xiaowan thinks so. The portraits painted by the ancients were all accustomed to using “abstract” techniques, focusing on spiritual resemblance. If the appearance is not good, they will deliberately make it “abstract” for you. So now when I see the “Pictures of Ladies” handed down from ancient times,
Women are all uniformly "round and round", with no curves at all. But sketching emphasizes realism. The light and dark line drawing method has a more three-dimensional effect, looks natural and vivid, and makes people's eyes brighter.
Xie Xiaowanyang and Xu Jin drew portraits for the three girls of the Fei family. Firstly, they really wanted to give a unique gift in return, but secondly, it was the girl's vanity that caused more people to know that her husband-in-law was so powerful.
ability.
Xu Jin's lust, which he had finally suppressed, was aroused by Xie Xiaowan's sweet kiss, and he was having an "evil" idea when he heard Xie Xiaowan say: "Ms. sir, my eldest brother said he would go back to Yugan County in a few days.
Dad wrote a letter urging them to go back."
Unknowingly, the three brothers had stayed in Shangrao County for nearly a month, and it was indeed time to go back. Xie Xiaowan's tone was full of reluctance.
Xu Jin patted his forehead lightly and said: "I forgot one thing. Today, the county magistrate Mr. Liu mentioned to me that the county government is currently short of a police officer. I asked my eldest brother if he would like to work in the government office.
."
"Really?" Xie Xiaowan sat up in surprise.
Xu Jin smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Mr. Liu asked me to ask my eldest brother what he wants first. If he is willing, he can go directly to the county government to naturalize and perform his duties."
It is said that Liu Qingyuan dismissed Ma Heng, the former chief catcher of the county government, because he was implicated in Du Laizi's case. The position of the chief catcher has always been vacant. In addition, Liu Qingyuan has always wanted to reorganize the county government after the prisoner was poisoned last time.
Team member. Xie Yidao was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also a steady person, so Liu Qingyuan planned to recruit him as an errand in the county government.
Xie Xiaowan said happily: "Then I will talk to my eldest brother tomorrow, and then I will write to my father to ask if he agrees."
Although the head catcher of the county government is just a low-ranking military attache, it is a decent and powerful job. If you really think about it, it is equivalent to the current criminal police detachment leader. This is much better than being a common fisherman.
No wonder Xie Xiaowan is so happy.
Originally, Liu Qingyuan wanted to recruit Xie Erjian to be a policeman as well, but Xu Jin understood that Xie Erjian was probably not willing to be a small policeman catching thieves. This guy's ambition was not small, not to mention Xie Erjian's character.
He is suitable to be a catcher, but the eldest brother Xie Yidao is a stable person and is about to get married. It is just right to be a catcher in Shangrao County, with a stable and decent income.
"Mr. Sir, thank you!" Xie Xiaowan happily hugged Xu Jin's neck, and her petite body wearing only close-fitting clothes clung to her. The girl's youthful body fragrance and elastic skin immediately made Xu Jin's anger burn.
"If you really want to thank your husband, please do him a favor!" Xu Jin whispered maliciously.
Xie Xiaowan asked curiously: "What kind of help does Mr. Xie want from Xiaowan?"
Early in the morning on the first morning, Xu Jin got up refreshed. After washing himself, he started running and practicing breathing.
The boy Xie Sanqiang touched his growling belly and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you get up and make breakfast? I'm almost starving."
"Three guns, um... your sister had insomnia last night. Just go out and buy breakfast. Buy whatever you like."
Xu Jin gave Xie Sanqian twenty coins, and the boy immediately ran out of the street with a smile on his face. Xie Yidao and Xie Erjian looked at each other and smiled, saying that Xie Yidao poured a bowl of that aphrodisiac wine for Xu Jin to drink last night.
Xie Sanqiang, the boy who just ran out for a while, hurried back and shouted: "Brother-in-law, there are many people outside, carrying boxes and boxes of things, saying they are for dowry. Brother-in-law, you are here today."
Don’t you want to accept Sister Ruyi as your guest?”
Xu Jin was stunned and quickly walked out the door. Xie Yidao and Xie Erjian looked at each other and ran out to check.
Sure enough, a group of people carrying dozens of boxes of things were parked outside the haggis shop. Many people passing by could not help but stop and watch, pointing and talking.
The Xie family brothers immediately looked at Xu Jin, and Xie Erjian even said with an unkind expression: "Brother-in-law, the dowry given to the third girl by the Fei family is really generous. Now she has made a fortune."
Xie Yidao also had a sullen face. They were not against Xu Jin taking concubines, but Xu Jin didn't even say hello beforehand, so they were extremely dissatisfied.
Xu Jin was also confused, frowned and asked: "What are you doing?"
The helpers who carried the boxes replied: "We are here to deliver the dowry for the young lady!"
Xu Jin asked doubtfully: "Whose lady is it? Didn't you send it to the wrong one?"
"We don't know who the lady is from. We were just called in temporarily to help. You are the head of the case, Xu Jinxu, right?"
Xu Jin nodded inexplicably.
