Seeing that Xie Jiao was about to become angry and utter evil words, Huo Yan's heart tightened and he quickly opened his mouth: "What the county gentleman said is that I will settle down with you first."
Then, he reached out and held Xie Jiao's hand and left.
Huo Yan was very strong, so Xie Jiao tried hard to pull his hand several times, but failed to pull it back, and was dragged away involuntarily.
Xu Zhi glanced at the two people leaving and snorted from her nose.
Xu Fang whispered: "For the sake of the third brother-in-law, let them stay for a few days. The Huo family has a house in the capital. Huo Yan went to Beijing to take the exam before and lived in the Huo house. Thinking about it, he would not be shameless and stay.
.”
After all, they are serious in-laws, so they cannot really be kicked out of the house like this.
Xu Zhi snorted again: "I didn't kick him out just for the sake of my third brother-in-law. What kind of life did my third sister live in Xie's house before? Xie Jiao had better not provoke her third sister, otherwise I won't be able to forgive her."
she!"
"let go!"
Xie Jiao was dragged for a while, and finally got annoyed and shook off Huo Yan's hand: "Huo Yan! I was humiliated just now. Not only did you not protect me, you also dragged me away. You are no longer a man.
?”
Huo Yan endured his anger and comforted him in a gentle voice: "That is the prince's second sister. She is both the county prince and the wife of the prince Wu'an. Regardless of her identity, you and I cannot afford to offend her. Moreover, she is famous for being powerful. I am
I had to protect you before I took you away."
Otherwise, why not stay and continue to be humiliated?
Xie Jiao couldn't listen to Huo Yan's words at all, and stamped her feet vigorously: "Be patient, bear with me! You loser! I have to bear with everything!"
Huo Yan's brows twitched, and his heart was boiling.
He and Xie Jiao set off for the capital just half a month after they got married. Counting it all, it was exactly one month today. It was time for the newlyweds to mix their honey with oil. But Xie Jiao was unruly and willful, getting angry at every turn and pointing at him.
His nose roared and cursed.
Once or twice, he could bear it. Xie Jiao was always being so unreasonable and making trouble, and he was also very angry.
"Xie Jiao," Huo Yan's face darkened: "Take back what you just said."
When Xie Jiao's temper got angry, she never knew what it meant to restrain herself. She still held her head high and pointed her chin at her new husband: "You're a wimp! I'm going to say it! You're a wimp! What can you do to me?"
Huo Yan: "..."
What came to Huo Yan's mind at this moment was what his father Huo Hengwen said before leaving Beihai County.
"The marriage between our Huo family and the Xie family has many benefits. Today, the Huo family is already the largest grain merchant in Beihai County. Xie Jiao has a more unruly temperament, so just be patient and give in. A man should not argue with women.
.When Xie Jiao becomes pregnant, you can hire two gentle-tempered maidservants."
Huo Yan took a deep breath and softened his voice: "This is the Beihai Palace. We will stay for two days and then leave."
Xie Jiao once again won a great victory. She was very happy and responded domineeringly: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law live in the palace, and I want to live with them."
Being with Xie Jiao challenges his endurance every moment.
Huo Yan suppressed his anger and said, "If my sister-in-law asks me to stay, we will stay longer."
Xu Ying had fallen out with her a long time ago, so how could she open her mouth and leave her alone?
Xie Jiao knew it well and refused to admit defeat: "Anyway, I want to live with my eldest brother."
…
Xu Ying and Xie Lingfeng reunited after a long absence. The couple rested their heads on each other and talked endlessly.
"Ying Niang, thank you for your hard work." Xie Lingfeng held Xu Ying's hand with guilt on her face: "I couldn't be by your side when you gave birth."
Xu Ying laughed softly and said, "You've already given birth to a baby, why are you talking about this? You haven't seen your son yet!" She called the nanny in with a loud voice.
Xie Lingfeng carefully took his son from the nanny's hands. The little baby was wrapped in soft cotton and was still a small lump in his arms. Xie Lingfeng held it like a rare treasure, for fear of hurting the child.
The child was so proud of his biological father that he peed out after a while. Xie Lingfeng's clothes were all wet.
Xu Ying was so amused that she said, "Give the baby to the nanny! Go and change into clean clothes."
Xie Lingfeng smiled cheerfully and said: "No need to change it, the weather is hot, it will dry in a while."
The husband and wife have been separated for so long, and they really can't bear to leave Xu Ying for even half a step.
Xu Ying heard the meaning of her husband's words and felt sweet in her heart. She leaned her head on her husband's chest. Then, Xie Lingfeng's hesitant voice came to her ears: "Yingniang, Jiaojiao has been with me all the way. When we arrive in the capital,
, and you want to stay with me for a few days."
"She just got married and traveled far away from home. When she first arrived in the capital, she was inevitably a little flustered. I thought about letting her stay for a while. If you don't want to see her, just don't. I'll just go and see her every day.
.”
After all, they are brothers and sisters, and they are constantly separated from each other.
Xu Ying did not refuse, nodded and said: "Let them stay for half a month."
Xie Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his eyebrows: "Okay, just half a month. Don't worry, I'll let her stay in the yard and won't disturb you during your confinement period."
Xu Ying smiled and said nothing.
In the past, in the Xie family, she was the gentle and considerate eldest sister-in-law, who always tolerated the unruly sister-in-law.
Now she is living with her mother-in-law, and her married sister-in-law is shamelessly staying in the palace. What kind of trouble can she still want to cause?
…
I don’t know what Xie Lingfeng said to Xie Jiao. A few days ago, Xie Jiao was indeed quite honest.
Xie Lingfeng and Huo Yan, the two newly-ministered scholars, soon ended their vacation. Xie Lingfeng was ranked among the top ten and entered the Hanlin Academy to do compilation. Huo Yan was assigned to the Ministry of Household Affairs and had no official position for the time being.
Wait for one year to be dispatched. After one year, he will go to the Ministry of Personnel to elect officials.
There are people in the court who like to be officials. This sentence is absolutely true.
Xie Lingfeng was the brother-in-law of Xu Jing, the eldest son of the Prince of Beihai. Xu Jing had made great achievements in Jizhou, and Xie Lingfeng also followed him and went to the Hanlin Academy, the most noble and noble place, where he had a free time on errands.
Huo Yan is far behind. The Huo family can be called a famous family in Beihai County, but they are nothing in the capital. They can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs only because they secretly spent a lot of money.
As for Wu Shao, Zhao Yuanren assisted him and went to the Ministry of Industry.
Ye Qanyao's new husband-in-law, Luo Hong, also entered the Hanlin Academy.
Of the three hundred new scholars, only one did not report for duty but took sick leave.
Xie Lingfeng came back from Hanlin Academy and said to Xu Ying: "Meng Siyuan has reported illness. We, who are in the same department and are in the same year, plan to make an appointment to visit him together."
Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Speaking of which, this thing is very strange. During the imperial examination, he was in very good health. Then he suddenly fell ill. I heard that he has not been seen in front of others for a long time."
Facts have proved that men also like to gossip when they get together.
Xie Lingfeng whispered again: "I also heard about one thing. The prime minister of the Hanlin Academy, Su, fell in love with Meng Siyuan, and Meng Jiale planned to come to propose marriage. Unfortunately, Meng Siyuan fell ill, and the marriage was delayed."
