Chapter 114: There is a happy event at home and it is not lively

Mou Bin thought about it and responded,

"You are going to the Jinyiwei to do business, and you must have your own people around you. They both enter the yamen and cultivate them well. After you stand up, they will also help you with boxing!"

This hero needs three help. If his son wants to gain a foothold in the Beizhen Fushiya Office, he cannot convince people by relying on his own power. He also needs to cultivate his own party members and confidants!

Mou Biao had long expected that his father would agree, and he quickly bowed and said,

"Thank you dad!"

Mou Bin hummed,

"You don't have to thank me in advance. Even if they want to join the Jinyiwei, they have to start from scratch. Even if they stay by your side, they can only be the lowest-level strongman..."

Mou Biao nodded,

"This is naturally... I had already agreed with them earlier that when I entered the yamen, I would start from the lowest-ranking man. If I can't stand the suffering, I will leave immediately!"

"Um!"

Mou Bin nodded, and the father and son talked about official business in the study for a while. At the end, Mou Bin looked at his son and suddenly talked about family affairs.

"In my hometown, your distant aunt wrote a letter saying that she wanted her son to go to Beijing to take the exam. It was almost the same days, and you had time to welcome him..."

"Distant aunt?"

Mou Biao's heart moved, who is that?

Mou Bin nodded,

"I am a cousin who has not yet been out of five wards for his father. I haven't seen him for many years since he got married. She has not been in her husband's family for so many years. She only has such a son. I originally wanted the seventh or sixth brother to come out to greet him, but now they can't go out. The third and fourth brothers are going to go to the mountains to practice with their fist masters..."

People who practice martial arts emphasize practicing in the winter and practicing in the summer and in the winter. Practicing in the winter is also a way to maintain one's body. If Mou Biao had not had errands in the yamen, he would have to follow him into the mountains. The son of the distant aunt was actually a concubine's son. However, when he was born, he went to his mother to keep the child and sold the warm bed girl who gave birth to her son. Therefore, the concubine's son has always been raised under the knee of the unborn mother.

The eldest and second son in the family were free, but according to Liu's intention, the distant cousin and husband's family was cursing the Mou family, and wanted to take this opportunity to move the relative again through their relationship. Even if they were recorded in the name of their mother, they were actually the son of a slave. However, they had no face to deal with the legitimate son of the Mou family personally, and this matter fell on Mou Biao.

Mou Biao replied with a smile,

"Dad, don't worry, my son will treat that cousin well..."

So he asked about the cousin's name and said,

"Your distant aunt married a family named Song. She is also considered a prominent family in the Jiangnan area. His name is Song Zhihua..."

It's indeed that boy!

Mou Biao nodded,

"My son knows!"

So after that, there were a lot of things in the twelfth lunar month, and Mou Biao had to go to the Jia family’s noodle stall. First, there was something really wrong, and second, when I remembered what I did that night, I didn’t dare to see Jia Silian anymore.

"What if she gets angry, what should I do if she gives me a cold face when she meets her?"

Mou Biao was inexplicably afraid that Jia Silian would be angry with him, thinking that she would wait until she suffocated before going away, so she never showed her face in front of Jia Silian.

Jia Silian tossed and turned around for a night, and finally suppressed her thoughts. After not seeing Mou Biao come over for several days, she felt even colder and secretly warned herself,

"He really thinks you are a good friend and a good brother, and you have no affection between men and women at all. If you touch your hands and feet, you will be like treating Mou Long and Mou Hu. You just do whatever you want. Don't think it's wrong!"

It took Xiangfu to marry again, and Mou Biao never came here. On that day, the Jia family got up early, washed up again, and hung up a sign outside the door, indicating that the store had something to do. They were resting for a day. After that, the family locked the door, hired a carriage, and headed towards the south of the city toward the house.

When they arrived at Xiang's house, there was not much fun. Jia Silian glanced at the table and saw that the people sitting at the table eating dried fruits and chatting were all from the parents of the Xiang family's aunts, but not many neighbors from Xiang's house came. I thought it was obvious that Xiang Fu was a second marriage, so there were naturally not many people who congratulated him. If something happened to Xiang's family, the neighbors dared not come to visit. This scene was naturally not as lively as the first time.

When Mrs. Xiang saw that the Jia family was coming, she looked a little bad and greeted her. On this happy day, if she shook her face, she would make her grandson unhappy. She could only endure it and welcome her daughter and son-in-law into the door.

The three of Jia Silian sisters went in and sat at the table without moving. Xiang took their eyes and plucked them a few times. The three of them just pretended that they hadn't seen each other. Jia Youchuan had no idea where to go to play. Jia Jincheng went to the male guest. Xiang Zhi hid from afar when he saw Jia Silian and the others, but Silian's sharp eyes saw that her face was still red and swollen. It seemed that she had been beaten. Wulian snorted and leaned into her ear and said,

"I deserve it!"

Liulian still glared at Zhi from afar.

"shameless!"

Jia Silian whispered,

"We are here to visit today. We will leave after we finish eating, so we don't have to pay attention to her!"

Xiang Shi, who was standing beside her, was angry when she heard this, and reached out to twist Jia Silian's ear.

"What a guest? This is your grandfather's family. Why don't you go to the back-end helper!"

The first time before, I came to help the first night. This time, Xiang was late and was scared when he came in when he saw her mother's face. However, she didn't know that the old lady Xiang's face was bad. Not only did the Jia sisters not come to help, but also because of the bronze mirror that she had not obtained, and the basin of oily stewed meat!

Jia Silian dodged her fat hands, pulled her two sisters up, and ran outside. She could not afford to offend her. In such a scene, Xiang Shi was not good at fighting with her daughter, so she could only watch her daughters run away.

Jia Silian and her two sisters were outside the Xiang family yard, and they were having fun with the children brought by their relatives. They refused to move to help. Xiang was so angry that she had to go into the backyard by herself. When the sisters-in-law of the Xiang family saw her, she immediately said sarcastically.

"My eldest sister's family is different now. The daughters at home are all precious. There is no more room in the backyard stove. I'm afraid I'll have to hire a few girls to serve you in the future?"

Xiang just pretended that he didn't hear it and lowered his head to do things. Her status at home is getting worse and worse. Her husband's family was angry at both ends, but she didn't have the courage to make trouble, so she could only endure it. Seeing that the sisters-in-law didn't respond, she became more and more excited when she said.

"Sister, is it good to live in the inner city's house?"

"Yes, right... Sister, now my brother-in-law has been promoted to an official position. I think the monthly salary is a lot, right?"

"Sister... it's not me that I'm trying to provoke. This man will become bad if he has money. My brother-in-law is now promoted and rich. You have to keep a close eye on it. If there is too much money in his pocket, he will give it to someone outside if he doesn't give it to his family!"

Xiang was full of anger when she heard this. She and Jia Jincheng had been married for many years. They knew that he was not lustful, and that money had not fallen into the hands of women outside. They were still pinching it in their daughter's hands. There were only a few brothers and sisters-in-law who said it one by one. She was bored and finally threw away the food that was being washed in her hand.

"It's finished washing!"

I shook the water in my hands, rubbed my swollen hands, and then went outside.

When those sisters-in-law saw it, they were all surprised.

"Oh... It's really different to be a wife from the official family. My eldest sister is now shaking up!"

Xiang came out with hatred in his heart, found a place to sit down, and there was a woman sitting next to her, eating melon seeds. When she saw her coming, she smiled kindly. Xiang asked before she saw her,

"Big girl, which relative are you?"

The woman smiled,

"My surname is Gong, my husband's surname is Xiao, and I do a small business in the city. When it comes to the bride, I want to call me aunt..."

Calling my aunt is closer, but in fact it is my cousin.

"oh……"

Mrs. Gong said with a smile,

"We live in Huanhua Hutong in the north of the city and came here early this morning..."

"Huanhua Hutong?"

Xiang Shi Lijue and the other two had a topic.

"Our family used to live in Yanghua Hutong, not far from Huanhua Hutong, and there was a stall at the entrance of the Hutong. I might have seen a big girl!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and the more they looked at each other, the more they felt familiar.

"I can't say I've really seen each other, but I didn't have a fate at that time, and I didn't become a relative. Now I have become a relative. I have to walk around more often. I have time... I'll go to Yanghua Hutong to see you, sister!"

Xiang Shi waved her hand with a smile,

"Now it's not in Yanghua Hutong, now it's in the inner city!"

The words were very light, but the pride in his tone could be felt by anyone across the three tables. Then Gong looked surprised and envious.

"My elder sister is now living in the inner city, a wealthy man!"

Xiang waved his hand again,

"What a wealthy person? It's just that my husband has recently transferred his post and the family moved to the inner city..."

"Oh,... I'm afraid the house that needs a family to live in will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Not many, because they are from the yamen, the house only costs half the price..."

"There's such a good thing!"

The real envy on the woman's face was almost flowing from her face to her chest. Xiang Shi felt satisfied when she saw it.

"Hmph! Isn't it good for me to listen to people flattering me here? I have to go to the backyard to help with the work, and they have to join forces to poke the lungs sarcastically!"

Thinking of the smile on Xiang's face even more intense, Gong asked again,

"I think my elder sister's husband must be an official. I don't know where I am?"

"What official is just a little passerby in the yamen..."

The two of them were talking back and forth, and the woman was holding it intentionally. The more they talked, they became happier and happier, and they felt that they had met too late. At this time, Jia Silian and her two sisters came in, and Xiang Shi smiled and waved to the three of them.

"Si Lian... Come here and meet your Aunt Gong!"

So the sisters are called each other, so the children are called aunts?

The three sisters of Silian rarely saw Xiang Shi smiling and a kind look. She didn't feel happy but felt irritated. She hesitated to salute.

"Hello Aunt Gong!"

Mrs. Gong looked up and down at the three girls, glanced at Silian, and asked Mrs. Xiang with a smile.
