Xia Shang looked at the yellow talisman in Madam's hand again: "Since Madam said so, let's put it away for now. But Madam cannot make the decision without authorization. To use this yellow talisman, you must obtain my consent.
"
Qin Huairou smiled with satisfaction. It was not that her husband agreed with her decision, but that she felt that she could make this stubborn husband change his mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud. However, in the past two days, in order to receive an endless stream of visitors, many tired people still wrote
on the face.
Xia Shang looked at it, gently rubbed his wife's cold cheek, and whispered: "There shouldn't be anything else to do now, right? Get some rest early."
Qin Huairou responded, but did not say anything to Xia Shang. She raised her head and looked at the sky, as if she wanted to go out.
Xia Shang saw him and asked, "Madam, are you going out again?"
Qin Huairou nodded: "There is another household that I must visit today."
"Visiting? Since when are we going to visit? What exactly are we visiting?"
"I received a gift from the prime minister's daughter early yesterday morning. I should return the gift today."
"The Prime Minister's daughter..." Xia Shang muttered, thinking, isn't it just Fu Qianqian?
"This is a little girl, Madam, why are you talking to her?"
After saying that, I felt a little guilty again, wondering if it was the little girl who said something to my wife, right?
Qin Huairou said seriously: "This is not possible. This concubine of the prime minister's palace must go and see it in person."
Seeing his wife being so determined, Xia Shang felt more and more guilty and wanted to say something.
Qin Huairou watched her husband hesitate to speak, raised the corners of her mouth, and continued: "I heard that my husband has a close relationship with this daughter of the prime minister's house..."
When Xia Shang heard that something bad had happened, he quickly interrupted: "Madam, please don't listen to people's nonsense. I have a close relationship with a little girl. Did that Fu Qianqian come and say something to Madam?"
"What do you think your husband can say?" Qin Huairou showed a half-smiling expression.
Xia Shang didn't know how to answer the call and was so nervous that he started to sweat.
After a while, Qin Huairou smiled: "Why should my husband be nervous? I didn't say anything. Does it mean that my husband really has anything to do with the daughter of the prime minister's house?"
"How can this be?"
"I'm in a hurry
We went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to repay the gift just because the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has the closest relationship with the Prime Minister. Among the many people who give gifts, she is the one with the strongest support and the least hostility. Naturally, we must protect this.
Because of our relationship, even if we don’t get help from the Prime Minister’s Office in the future, at least we won’t become my husband’s enemy.”
"..." Xia Shang frowned and paused slightly, "These things are not important."
"These things are very important!" Qin Huairou interrupted firmly, "It is not just men who control the capital. Sometimes, women also have the ability to change the situation. Since I have come to the capital, I want to take this family to take root in the capital.
I just don’t want to be a vase next to my husband. There are some things that I must do. Although these things are insignificant to my husband, they are one of the few things that we women can do for our husband.
"
Xia Shang was a little touched, and he didn't want the woman in front of him to worry too much, but the reality had reached a point where Xia Shang couldn't control it. He really couldn't say that he wanted his family not to worry.
After a brief silence, Qin Huairou walked around Xia Shang with a smile: "Ms. sir, I really want to go out."
This time Xia Shang did not stop him. He could feel the fatigue on his wife's body, but he could also feel that she was in a state of excitement that she had never experienced before. Perhaps she had been looking forward to doing something to help him one day.
thing?
Just as he was thinking about it, the lady in front suddenly turned around and smiled: "That Taoist Master Ma also said that although our family's feng shui is not good, happy events will happen in the near future. If he is really right about this, then I think he will."
If so, you can give it a try."
After saying that, before Xia Shang could reply, Qin Huairou had already gone to the main courtyard.
Xia Shang was stunned: "A happy event?"
Somehow, hearing this made Xia Shang feel a little unhappy.
Even he felt that his emotions were a bit strange. Xia Shang himself was good at doing these things, but when others commented on him, he felt inexplicably unhappy. Even if he said good things, he would not believe them.
Moreover, the most important point is that Xia Shang still doesn’t know what the purpose of Taoist Ma is for saying this? Is it the prince’s instruction? Or is it for some other reason? If he does what Taoist Ma said, what if there is something wrong with him?
What about fraud?
Just as I was thinking about it, Xiaoyue came out of the inner courtyard
Come, wave to Xia Shang from a distance: "Master, it's time to eat."
…
A simple meal is what Xia Shang is looking forward to most now.
It had been an unknown amount of time since the family had sat together. Looking at the people gathered around the table, Xia Shang had already forgotten all his worries.
It's a pity that the real wife is not here.
Xia Shang looked at Xiaoyue standing at the table and asked curiously: "Why didn't you follow Madam?"
"The madam said there was no need for me to follow, so she stayed with the young master."
Xia Shang nodded and glanced at the table of women.
Liu Ruyan, Li Xiaoxian, Yazhi, and Ruo Chu met on both sides. Opposite them were a pair of children, who were also sitting obediently, staring longingly at Xia Shang, who was the first to use his chopsticks.
Xia Shang looked at the maids behind each woman, and then at Xiaoyue standing next to him, a little strange: "What are you doing? Why don't you sit down and eat together?"
"Slaves don't dare..." The familiar maid behind Ruyan responded in a low voice.
"Didn't I say that there are not many rules in the Xia family?"
Liu Ruyan replied: "That was in the past, but now it is different. When I came to the capital, my husband was stared at by all eyes again. Those discarded rules must be picked up, otherwise someone with an intention will catch him."
"What's this? Sit down quickly..."
Xiaoyue said: "Young master, please stop talking. Madam has already said this. When you come to the capital, you must abide by the rules. Those who do not abide by the rules cannot stay in the Xia family."
It can be seen that the maids are obviously more afraid of the eldest lady now than he is the serious head of the family. They probably won't sit down without waiting for Huairou's permission.
Now that everything is like this, Xia Shang doesn't want to change anything.
At this point in his life, Xia Shang has already accepted the reality. He used to always think about changing the world, but now the world has completely changed him.
After the meal, the four women set up the card table in front of the hall. They heard that Mahjong, invented by Xia Shang, was gradually becoming popular in the Jiangnan area and was spreading towards the capital.
This has also become a way for women in a room to kill time and communicate with each other.
Everyone hoped that Xia Shang could participate, but Xia Shang was busy communicating with his children and did not care about the enthusiastic invitation of his wives.
