Chapter 103
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Guangrong and his family came to the Marquis' Mansion to deliver holiday gifts. This was also the first time that the family had entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion after Gao asked Su Jin to propose marriage to his daughter and was rejected.
For Xiao Guangrong's sake, Su Jin and Xiao Zhen forgot about their unhappiness and warmly welcomed the family.
Xiao Zhen and Xiao Guangrong were drinking and chatting in the front yard. Archer invited Xiao Lu to his yard to discuss knowledge. Su Jin and his daughter-in-law Huo Wenqing entertained Gao's mother and daughter. Aman was frustrated with Xiao Yudie and took his two naughty brothers to the garden to play.
Su Jin had nothing to talk to Gao before, but Gao had been busy in the noodle restaurant for more than a month and had seen all kinds of unreasonable guests. She deliberately made fun of Su Jin. Su Jin had nothing to do anyway, so she was quite relished.
"The day before yesterday, there was a male guest, who was in his thirties and brought a pretty little wife to eat noodles. I thought they were a couple, but as soon as I brought the noodles out, a woman rushed in from the store and grabbed the little wife and shouted to beating and killing. It turned out that her husband was holding her back to hook up with a sick daughter-in-law, and she caught her!"
Su Jin likes to listen to market stories, but Huo Wenqing came from a famous family and was afraid that he would not like it. Su Jin said to his daughter-in-law: "Aman is also naughty, Wen Qing goes to the garden for me to watch them."
The mother-in-law was considerate of herself, Huo Wenqing responded with a smile, bowed to Gao, and left slowly.
Gao looked at Huo Wenqing's back and couldn't help asking Su Jin: "My niece-in-law has been married for two months, there is no good news yet?"
Su Jin just looked at Gao's eyes, but was so angry that he was so sad that he said, "How long has it been? Could it be that my younger brother and sister will get pregnant after two months of marriage?" In fact, Xiao Yudie has not yet been married, and the elders should be more avoidable when chatting in front of the girl than when Huo Wenqing was present. However, Gao's mother was not paying attention, so Su Jin naturally said whatever she wanted.
Gao was choking and guessed that Su Jin didn't like to listen, so he quickly continued to talk about the fun in the noodle restaurant.
After hearing this, Xiao Yudie suddenly stood up and said to the two elders: "Mom, aunt, I'll go to the garden to find Aman to play."
Gao smiled and said, "Go, go, the little girl should be with the little girl."
Su Jin then ordered the maid: "Send the lady to the hall."
Xiao Yudie hurriedly said, "No, no, I recognize the way, so I don't bother them."
Su Jin was just perfunctory, and since Xiao Yudie didn't use it, she wouldn't care.
Before leaving, Xiao Yudie secretly turned to her mother.
After leaving the upper room, Xiao Yudie looked around and walked directly to Archer's yard. She had been to the Hou Mansion before and recognized the layout of various courtyards. On the way, she met an old lady. The old lady smiled and asked where the lady was going. Xiao Yudie smiled and said that she was going to find her brother, so the old lady stopped asking.
After arriving at Archer's yard, Xiao Yudie was still sweating all over.
"Miss Tang," Ping'an saw her and quickly came over to salute, "I wonder what Miss Tang is doing when she comes?"
Xiao Yudie smiled: "I'll give me mung bean cake to my brothers."
Ping An glanced at the pastry in the little girl's hand and bent down and said, "Miss Laotang has gone there. The two young men are in the study. I will help you carry it over."
Xiao Yudie pursed her lips and said, "This is done by me and my mother. I want to give it to my elder brother in person."
Ping'an was stunned. What does this cousin mean? His 14-5-year-old cousin showed goodwill to his unrelated cousin?
But the guest asked, Ping An refused coldly, so he turned around and led Xiao Yudie to the study.
In the study, Archer was playing chess with Xiao Lu.
When Ache frowned unaware of Xiao Yudie's arrival, he learned that Xiao Lu was coming. He accidentally turned to the door, not knowing why his sister came.
Ping An sent the guest into the study, and he withdrew. Xiao Yudie looked at Archer and tried to calmly and said, "Brother, brother, this is the mung bean cake my mother asked me to send me. Do you want to try it?"
There were two pieces of mung bean cake in total. Xiao Yudie divided the brother into one piece and handed the other piece to Archer.
Xiao Lu was a little hungry, so he took his sister's mung bean cake and finished it in a few bites, but it was not big.
Seeing Archer not answering, Xiao Yudie tried to smile naturally: "This is our own craft, brother, don't dislike him."
Archer nodded to the table next to him: "Thank you, let me put it down first, I'll eat later."
Things were not as smooth as the plan was planned. Xiao Yudie panicked uncontrollably, sweat beads emerged from her forehead, and her hands holding the mung bean cake trembled slightly, and she secretly thought about how to ask Archer to eat the cake. Archer looked at her hand, and suddenly took the piece of mung bean cake and handed it to Xiao Lu opposite him: "I don't like sweets. Since it was made by Yudie's sister and aunt's mother, I can't waste it. Did the second brother eat it for me?"
Xiao Lu likes to eat sweet foods, so he didn't think much about it. He grabbed the mung bean cake and put it in his mouth.
"Brother..." Xiao Yudie was about to stop him, but when she saw Archer look at her, she quickly closed her mouth.
When Xiao Lu finished eating mung bean cake and was thirsty and drinking tea, Archer asked Xiao Yudie, who was sweating profusely: "Is there anything wrong with my sister?"
There was a strong aphrodisiac in the mung bean cake. Xiao Yudie wanted Archer to take it. Afterwards, she sent her brother to find someone. When his brother left, she would do good things with Archer and then naturally become Archer's concubine. Archer was so beautiful that Xiao Yudie fell in love with him at a glance. If she could be with such a man, Xiao Yudie would not care whether she was a wife or a concubine. Moreover, the Marquis's mansion was rich and noble, even if she was a concubine, she would be the best person. It would not be a loss. If she gave birth to a son, she would still be rich by her mother in the future.
But at this time, mung bean cake entered my brother's stomach. If she kept her brother here and walked away by herself, her brother would have a fever in a while. Archer would definitely guess what she did with her mother. Then the two families would probably become enemies in the future!
After panic, Xiao Yudie suddenly grabbed Xiao Lu's arm and forced herself to smile: "Look at me, I almost forgot. Mom has something to come to you, brother, please follow me."
Xiao Lu looked at the chess game that had just begun and said, "Sister, go back first, I will go through this game with my elder brother." Today, my family is here to celebrate the festival, and my mother is looking for him for nothing.
He didn't leave, Xiao Yudie insisted on pulling him away, and Archer looked at the brother and sister expressionlessly.
The medicine in the mung bean cake took off very quickly. Not long after, Xiao Lu's face suddenly turned red, as if he was on fire!
The guess in his heart was confirmed, Archer's face darkened and ordered Ping'an to invite his father and Xiao Guangrong over, and arranged for the servant to invite the doctor.
Seeing my brother’s strangeness with his own eyes, Xiao Yudie’s face turned pale!
Facing Archer's cold gaze, Xiao Yudie was panicked and afraid, and nervously turned around and ran out.
Although Xiao Lu had been given medicine, he was still rational. He felt the change in his body's escape from control. Looking at his sister running away, Xiao Lu finally understood! The sister actually wanted to give Ache medicine. Xiao Lu felt ashamed. While enduring the dryness in his body, he knelt down to Ache and said guiltily: "Yu Die, she... I hope Brother forgives his sins."
Archer can not pursue other things, but Xiao Yudie's actions today are no ordinary mistakes.
Helping Xiao Lu up, Ache said in a deep voice: "This matter has nothing to do with the second brother. The second brother does not need to blame himself. The others are all decided by the elders."
When Xiao Zhen and Xiao Guangrong came over side by side, Archer and Ping An had just tied up Xiao Lu, who had received countless herbal teas. Xiao Zhen had been put into the wine by Su Jin's aunt. Although she was not as embarrassed as Xiao Lu, when she saw Xiao Lu's appearance, Xiao Zhen knew what his nephew had been captured.
Only Xiao Guangrong was kept in the dark and thought that his son had some serious illness. He was so scared that he was about to burst into tears. He was so anxious that he begged Xiao Zhen to save his son.
Xiao Zhen stared at Xiao Guangrong with a dark face and black eyes, wanting to know if his cousin was involved in this matter.
Archer briefly explained the reason and emphasized that the mung bean cake was something Xiao Yudie insisted on asking him to eat.
With the consequences, looking at his son's crazy look of wanting a woman, Xiao Guangrong guessed the truth no matter how stupid Xiao Guangrong stood there. After he reacted, Xiao Guangrong knelt on the ground, beat his chest and stamped his feet: "What kind of evil am I doing? Brother, I'm sorry for you. It's because I can't teach children, it's because I can't care about my wife, and I actually asked them to do such a scandal!"
Xiao Zhen believed that this matter had nothing to do with his cousin, so he signaled Ache to help Xiao Guangrong up. Xiao Zhen ordered Xu Wen to invite Su Jin and Gao's mother and daughter.
On the other side of the main room, Gao talked to Su Jin while hoping that his daughter would get things done soon. However, when Xiao Yudie ran back in a panic, his face was pale and tears were on his face, Gao knew that something had happened. In order to avoid Xiao Zhen's punishment, Gao immediately resigned to Su Jin. Seeing that the mother and the mother were too abnormal, Su Jin was inexplicably uneasy and refused to let the mother and the mother go.
At this moment, Xu Wen rushed over and told Su Jin about the incident.
The two of them actually wanted to drug his Yaru Baiyu's son, and Su Jin's face was going dark! Although she had been a Marquis for so many years, Su Jin was still the one who dared to show up and sell buns in public. She rushed to the Gao family's mother and daughter in a few steps. Su Jinyang slapped the man hard: "Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
When things got to this point, they could not be avoided and argued. Gao was ashamed, and Xiao Yudie covered her face and hid behind her mother crying.
Xu Wen pushed and shoved Gao and his daughter to Archer.
Seeing that her son was fine, Su Jin calmed down a little, but when she thought of what the Gao family mother and daughter did, Su Jin was still angry. She really made a fight with grudges. Why did she and Xiao Zhen get into such a pair of ungrateful wolves?
The last time the doctor came, he had a medicine specifically for the detoxification of this poison in his hand, so he soaked a large bowl in water and took it for Xiao Lu.
After a while, the red craze on Xiao Lu's body disappeared like a tide, but the person still had to continue to fall asleep, and I don't know when he would be able to wake up.
Xiao Lu was not seriously injured, and the aftermath was about to be cured next.
Xiao Zhen has already regarded his honest and honest cousin as his real family member. Gao's wife is vicious and vicious, and there is no cure to save her. Xiao Zhen showed the aura of the head of the family and ordered his cousin to divorce his wife: "Gao's mentality is not right and harms others and himself. Our Xiao family does not have such a poisonous wife."
At this moment, Gao no longer expects to get into the Marquis' Mansion. She knelt in front of her husband Xiao Guangrong, burst into tears, sometimes regretting and promised not to make mistakes in the future, sometimes choking and recalling the hardships that the couple had shared. Xiao Yudie followed her and begged her father not to leave their mother and daughter behind.
Xiao Guangrong sat on the chair with his fists clenched, looking at his daughter-in-law and daughter who was crying in front of him. Although he did not cry, his eyes turned red. Everyone envied wealth and honor, but what's the point of wealth? Wealth and honor made his wife a different person, and his daughter was beyond recognition. He would rather not have such wealth and honor!
Pushing his wife away, Xiao Guangrong walked to Xiao Zhen and knelt down and said, "Brother, Gao did make many mistakes, but I was in a fight with her and her husband. I really couldn't bear her. Thanks to my elder brother's help, I allowed me to see the wealth of the capital, but I was born with a poor life and could not bear this wealth. Brother, I have decided that I will take the three of them back to Tongzhou tomorrow, and never go anywhere. I only raise chickens and farm at home. My elder brother just thinks that our family has never been to the capital!"
After saying that, Xiao Guangrong kowtowed to Xiao Zhen three times, and apologized for his daughter-in-law and daughter.
Su Jin looked at him, feeling quite complicated. Unexpectedly, this honest farmer would rather abandon wealth than divorce his wife in order to protect Gao's family. Could it be that the men in the Xiao family are all infatuated? Secretly glanced at Xiao Zhen and remembered Xiao Zhen's kindness to her, Su Jin suddenly became angry.
Gao's family is like a fly. As long as the fly flies away, don't always wander in front of her eyes, the other Su Jin will not care about it.
Xiao Zhen did not expect that his cousin was so infatuated and didn't know how to arrange it for a while.
Xiao Guangrong was determined to leave and repeatedly begged his brother to spare Gao.
Xiao Zhen looked at Su Jin.
Su Jin nodded. Xiao Guangrong was so reluctant to part with his husband's relationship. If Xiao Zhen forced him to divorce his wife, Xiao Guangrong might not appreciate it.
Xiao Zhen had no choice but to agree to his cousin's choice.
Archer suddenly spoke and said to Xiao Guangrong: "Second uncle, my second brother likes to study and has made some classmates and friends in the capital. It is better to let my second brother stay. The school in the capital is always better than the local counties."
It was like catching a life-saving straw, Gao looked at her husband and said, "Yes, yes, let Brother Lu stay!"
If her son has a promising future and passes the Jinshi exam and becomes an official, then she will still have a wealthy life to look forward to.
Xiao Guangrong heard that his wife had not given up, so he stepped forward and kicked Gao: "Even if Brother Lu stayed, even if Brother Lu was promoted and made a fortune in the future, you would never want to leave Tongzhou again or be a wealthy lady in this life! You are a village woman with no virtue and talent. Let me die of that heart as soon as possible!"
