Family Has a Concubine

After Yin Tingniang and Xu Rui left the inn, they hurried to Songhua Lane, slipped back through the back door, and discussed in Yin Tingniang's bedroom.

"Now... what should I do?" Yin Tingniang was confused.

"Mother, tell me, is he the General Xu who has made great achievements in battle and is about to be rewarded?" Xu Rui looked excited.

"No...impossible." Yin Tingniang shook her head, "He said it himself just now, but he's just a soldier..."

"Of course he said that!" Xu Rui said anxiously: "He hasn't awarded the reward yet, how can he dare to admit that he is a general. If he dares to boast that he will be named a general by the emperor, then It has become a false guess of the holy will! In the end, even the reward was lost."

"Is it... like this?" Yin Tingniang was startled, and she also believed it.

Yin Tingniang gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, how many grades will someone like him seal?"

Xu Rui said: "At least rank four! Maybe even rank three! The rewards are also extremely generous, fertile land, gold and silver, these are naturally indispensable! Moreover, the reputation is also good!"

Yin Tingniang was surprised: "Is it much better than Ye Chengde?"

"It's not only much stronger! It's like a sky and a ground!" Xu Rui said, "Houfu Houfu's name is also nice. You saw it today, my mother. I want to buy something for us. Give us a thousand Two silver coins are not enough! If you want to get more money, you have to wait for the land tax and land tax in June, and there are a lot of idlers in the family, so there are already many holes in it. And the grandfather is only a few rank officials? Now They are all lower than the fifth rank! Not to mention Ye Chengde, all the idle jobs donated by thousands of taels have been taken away. There is not even a real powerful official in the people he made friends with."

Unwillingness flashed across Yin Tingniang's eyes: "We are going to remarry now into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, so he came back in such a glorious way..."

They were supposed to enter the Jing'an Marquis Mansion safely and securely, but now they have troubles.

If Xu Dashi is just a poor farmer, it's fine, but she is so beautiful, and now she is not willing to let her marry into the manor of Jing'an, which is full of holes!

In the past, she thought that the Jing'an Hou Mansion was extremely good, but now... Sure enough, there is no comparison and no harm!

Yin Tingniang bit her lips fiercely: "We are at the Jing'an Hou Mansion, the road has been paved...and it has been announced to the public long ago that we are the first wife and son of the Jing An Hou Mansion, if we say no now... ...What will others think of us? This is too ugly."

"Are there still not many scandals in the Jing'an Hou Mansion?" Xu Rui snorted coldly, "From March last year to the present, for a whole year, has it stopped? What sisters are fighting for husbands, and the son of the Hou family has been imprisoned?" , a prostitute marrying a Duanxiu is no worse than us."

"Yes!" Yin Tingniang was also a ruthless character, and immediately made up her mind. "Besides, Dashi is also your own father, why... is also your own father! How can you recognize other people's ancestors and call others your father! In this way, how can you be worthy of your grandma who loves you, and how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Xu family! ... Let's tell the outside world that we are all forced."

Saying that, even I took it for granted.

"You don't need to say that. When the time comes, just let Dad suppress them, and they will shut up obediently! Ye Hewen is a coward, how dare you make trouble? When the time comes to cancel the wedding silently, the common people will be forgetful. We just need to move back I lived in my hometown in Changzhou for a year or two, and then went back to Beijing to change my name. If someone I know asked, I would just say that I had a misunderstanding back then, and just whitewash it." Xu Rui even thought about the finishing touches.

The more Yin Tingniang heard, the more hopeful she became for the future: "The title of the Marquis of Jing'an only came to your generation. It can no longer be passed down. If you follow the literary path, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to earn the title in the future. But Marching and fighting is different, if he is more powerful and fights for a few years, he may have a title. Even if he dies outside, he will still gain a good reputation as a hero."

Xu Rui thought, just like the Jing'an Hou Mansion, he can't even make friends with real dignitaries. In the future, if he enters the imperial examination, unless he also gets the number one scholar, Chu Yunpan will naturally overwhelm him.

But... Even if he is as proud as he is, he doesn't dare to guarantee that he will be able to enter the first class, and even the second class is difficult.

Therefore, the higher the status, the better!

Anyway, he had already won her!

He successfully humiliated her mother so much that she dared not even go home, and indirectly broke her brother's leg and threw him out.

She must be itching with hatred! If she hadn't been hiding in Qiu's house and was unwilling to go out, he would definitely go and see her face.

But now, he threw away the things she valued, trampled on the ground, and became the son of the upstart General Xu, tsk tsk, then her face must be very exciting.

"Just now your father said that as long as we come back, it's enough. I can see that he is sincere. After all, it was he who didn't come back that made us misunderstand and caused so many things to happen." Yin Tingniang said excitedly, otherwise it would not have happened. He looked at her obsessively, and held her hand.

Xu Dashi's hands were firm and strong, and being held by him made her palpitate.

Thinking of this, Yin Tingniang felt a little complacent, and couldn't help but look at the bronze mirror on the table, which reflected her charming little oval face.

She has relied on her beauty since she was a child, but she also knows in her heart that her appearance is not top-notch in the capital.

But even so, she can still fascinate every man. If future generations knew about her deeds, would they curse and sigh at her saying Qi Chao Da Ji? Two more sentences: Although there is no appearance of Daji, it is more capable than Daji.

Of course, this is just her own fantasy.

Yin Tingniang was a little anxious: "Then...tomorrow we..."

"We have to wait for this matter," Xu Rui was very rational. He also felt that Xu Dashi was sincere, and it was reasonable for Xu Dashi to forgive and accept them, but he was always cautious, "We have to find out whether he is the General Xu! If we make a mistake, it will be a disaster." .”

Shocked, Yin Tingniang woke up instantly, then let out a deep breath, patted her chest and said, "Yes! We must check it out!"

"Tomorrow, mother, go to appease him and keep him steady. I will go out of the city to investigate myself."

The mother and son discussed for a while, and then went back to rest.

Early the next morning, Xu Rui took Wei Zi out of the city in a pony carriage.

And Yin Tingniang took the most honest little maid to a restaurant opposite the inn where Xu Dashi was staying.

After she ate something casually, she asked the servant girl to go out to buy her a handkerchief, and then she paid the bill and left, asking Xiaoer to leave a message for the servant girl, saying that she had gone out for a stroll and asked her to go back first.

Yin Tingniang quietly went to the inn where Xu Dashi was.

Knocking on the door, walking into the wing room, I saw Xu Dashi standing in front of him like a hill. He was dressed in ordinary but clean gray and short brown, with an unshaven face.

It might be that the lights were too dim last night, and he looked shabby and shameful, but now that he looked at it carefully, he seemed to be simple and elegant even though he was wearing coarse clothes.

On the contrary, the beard on his face made him look stronger and more attractive. This dress is really worthy of being a self-made general!

Yin Tingniang has gained a lot of experience in the capital these years, and she knows that the richer the dress, the more decent it is.

In the past, Ye Chengde was dressed in brocade clothes and had a refined appearance, but now when she compares it with Xu Dashi, she feels that Ye Chengde looks like those incompetent soft bags and wine bags and rice bags that pretend to be extravagant all day long.

"Tingniang!" As soon as Xu Dashi saw Yin Tingniang, his eyes lit up, he stepped forward excitedly, and held her hand tightly.

Yin Tingniang couldn't help but blushed in front of him because of the smell of his agricultural column: "You, what are you doing?"

"We are all old, what can't we do! These years, I miss you every day." Xu Dashi was so greedy for so many years that he almost went crazy.

And even though she is more than ten years older, Yin Tingniang is more beautiful than her sallow and thin face when she was young.

Well-maintained and well-dressed, she is a delicate and luxurious wife from a rich family.

This kind of woman, Xu Dashi didn't even dare to think about it, and now she is actually his daughter-in-law, Xu Dashi couldn't bear it.

Pull her when you think about it.

"Hey... you, you..." Yin Tingniang was a little reserved after all, but she couldn't hold back his strength.

And she also thought a little bit, although Xu Rui said to investigate, but she already believed him 100%, even if she didn't believe it, she should "stabilize" him well!

I could only be "forced to be helpless", and played with him after a while.

One is Jiuhan, the other has been with a wine bag and rice bucket for six or seven years. Now that she is with Xu Dashi, she is excited. After a while, Yin Tingniang can't help crying.

This inn is a small inn, and the sound insulation is just like that. In broad daylight, Xiao Er led the new arrivals past and was about to check in.

I didn't want to, but I heard the sound of wailing from a wing room.

Xiaoer and the guest's faces froze. The guests were a young couple with a three or four-year-old daughter. Hearing this voice, the expressions of the couple changed.

"This, can people still live here?" The wife asked with a dark face. Saying that, she and her husband took the child away.

Xiao Er was so angry that his face turned blue, and he yelled at Xu Dashi's room: "You're so shameless in broad daylight! What are you calling!"

But the inn is a small business, and the business is not good, but Xu Dashi is generous with the money, so if they want to yell, then yell!

Later, another old couple came, and the inn was half cheaper, so they lived next door to Xu Dashi's right, and then the old couple listened to Yin Tingniang next door screaming for a long time, and the two looked at each other awkwardly for a long time

The old couple looked at each other awkwardly for a long time.

On the left side, there is a pair of friends drinking tea. What is surprising is that both of them are dressed luxuriously and decently, it is none other than Ye Chengde and his friend Mr. Chen.

This Mr. Chen is Xinke Tanhua's father.

The Chen family had always had some friendship with the Jing'an Hou Mansion, but Master Chen looked down on Ye Chengde, but Master Chen could pretend, so he used to talk and laugh with Ye Chengde.

The reason why he made an appointment with Ye Chengde today was because of the entrustment of the new top scholar.

Master Chen felt that Chu Yunpan had a bright future, so naturally he would not shirk this trivial matter.

So Ye Chengde was invited over.

Ye Chengde frowned when he saw that Mr. Chen made an appointment with him suddenly, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, why did you make an appointment today? And it's still in this kind of place?"

Master Chen laughed: "I'm not afraid you will laugh at me, because this inn...is opened by my friend, and the business is bleak, so I came here to take care of his business. I heard...your wife lives nearby, and suddenly remembered you, so I called you Come and have a seat. I heard that you are about to welcome your wife into the house, congratulations."

Ye Chengde was happy in his heart, but also thought that Chen Zhiheng was here to visit. Now that the two families have become friends, Xu Rui will be able to support him together when he enters the court. Thinking about it, he becomes ardent towards Mr. Chen.

"Young son's high school prospect is also a joy to congratulate! Come, drink!" Ye Chengde raised his glass to drink with him.

I didn't want to, but at this time there was a screaming sound from the next room.

Master Chen and Ye Chengde froze.

"This...in broad daylight, shameless!" Master Chen's expression changed, "I can't stay here!"

Then he stood up.

Ye Chengde quickly agreed, but frowned slightly, why does he sound like Yin Tingniang's voice? But how is this possible!

Besides, Tingniang has always been reserved, so she's not as shameless as the one next door...!

Master Chen had already left the room, Ye Chengde hurriedly followed him, and the two left together.

At noon, Yin Tingniang and Xu Dashi took a break.

Yin Tingniang had never lived in this kind of cheap inn. She was used to living in a good place with Ye Chengde before, but she never expected that the environment of this small inn was poor and could not stand the noise, so she had already been listened to.

After tidying up, she told the truth to Xu Dashi: "Dashi, you stay here these few days, I'll finish these things...we can be together forever."

Xu Dashi said: "Is there anything else to solve? Then I will take you out of the permanent residence. Even if they are the Marquis Mansion, they can't rob people's wives and children by force, and we are taking advantage of it! Moreover, I also It’s not easy to bully! I’m still covered by someone!”

At the end, Xu Dashi snorted coldly with disdain.

Yin Tingniang was excited when she heard his arrogant tone, she was indeed a great general. Just nodded: "But there... After all, we have taken care of our mother and child for many years, we can only go back and explain it clearly. If they don't want to, you can come forward again."

She can't wait to go with him now, but she is cautious, and she can only act after hearing Xu Ruizhen's honest answer.

The two talked for a while, and then Yin Tingniang went out and walked in the corridor with her handkerchief thrown.

There was a "squeak", but the door to the wing on the right was opened. The old couple stuck their heads out from behind the door, looked at Yin Tingniang's back, and let out a yell.
