Chapter 46

As soon as Cheng Xue finished speaking, Dong Cheng was the first to speak in support——

"Only people with a dirty mind would say such shameless words! Brother and sister, don't worry, no matter who says it in the future, I will be the first to teach you a lesson."

"Don't worry sister-in-law, I'll help too." Xiao Qinglin agreed with a smile.

Now he likes the farmhouse more and more.

The people in the village are lively and real, much more real than those rich boys in the capital.

The people from the forest farm overwhelmingly supported Cheng Xue, while Li Fang, who was watching not far away, frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly.Li Qingnian gritted his back molars angrily, "creak...creak...".

Only Li Xiang nodded slowly with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Jianye rushed over after hearing the news, and hurriedly said:

"It's gone, it's gone, it's all gone. If anyone in our village talks nonsense in the future, don't say I'm turning against you. Also, the conscription has been given to Xin'er. On the eighth day of October, Chenzheng, standing on the official road, waiting for the big troops, together Go north.

This time, the military service is at the door of the house, and all winter clothes are prepared.Chen Zheng was just waiting, if he didn't go with the big team, he would be held accountable later, this is not a joke. "

I said this just now, but the banquet was about to start, and no one left, they were all waiting for the banquet.Now that I have enough food and drink, and there are soldiers in the family, I will naturally go home quickly.

Li Hui and Cheng Xue exchanged glances, then left Guo Dake's house with Xiao Qinglin.Before leaving, I didn't forget to pat her on the arm to show her not to be too angry.

Xiao Qinglin, who witnessed the whole process, pouted slightly, and asked with some concern:
"You and sister-in-law have such a good relationship, if you take a concubine in the future, will sister-in-law let you?"

Seeing him shaking his head without thinking, Xiao Qinglin clicked his tongue and said:

"Oh, that's over. Once you become an official in the court, and your sister-in-law stops you from accepting concubines, the censor's official gang of old men will join you. My father is often interviewed, and every time he comes back from court, his face is ashen. Then my mother comforted him."

Whenever it comes to parents, Xiao Qinglin is like a erha, with a look of admiration.Li Hui was not surprised, but he was a little upset because of his wishful nagging just now.

"Who told you I want to take a concubine?"

"...Ah?" Xiao Qinglin, who was talking excitedly, was shocked when he heard the words, "You don't take concubines? The Beijing officials have taken concubines except my father, even my second uncle has taken two."

"Then why doesn't your second uncle have a son?"

"Pfft—haha...hahaha..." Xiao Qinglin laughed wantonly.

Li Hui didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement, at most it was a bit detrimental.

"Do you dare to ask me this in front of my second uncle?"

"Don't dare."

"How dare you say it!"

Xiao Qinglin rolled his eyes fiercely, hit him hard on the shoulder, and said seriously:
"My second uncle wants you to be those two concubines? If they are ordinary women, they can just accept them as maids, but those two are concubines and sisters of the two emperors. In officialdom, many times you can't treat yourself I mean, I will be put on little shoes. What's more, the old grandsons of the officials in the capital just like to tell stories. My father has been imprisoned for many years, but fortunately he has the emperor's uncle to protect him."

The implication is that if you don't have a big backer like the "emperor", you have to think about it as soon as possible.

He was saved by Cheng Xue, and he respected him from the bottom of his heart.I really don't want to see her turn into those calculating women who have lost their character in the deep house, that would be a pity.

Li Hui smiled appreciatively and said:
"Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful. The first-rank official refers to the 'errand', not the concubinage of the subordinates. If you refuse, you may wear small shoes, but a man can bend and stretch, and he will always stand up."

"But what if someone ginsengs you?"

"Participate in what? Participate I don't take concubines?" Li Hui laughed angrily.

Liangyan's speech officer is so idle, not doing business, just managing the back of his colleagues?

"No, they will think that sister-in-law is 'jealous', and use this to refer to your 'lack of family management'..."

"What the hell!" Li Hui interrupted him, "I'll make her have the reputation of being 'jealous'? I don't want to take concubines myself. Is that a good reason? The speech officer in the capital is so busy that he has nothing to do but stare at the back of his colleagues. things to do?"

Xiao Qinglin was silent.

He had asked his father before why the Yanguan only wanted to hold on to the Xiao family's back house.What can be exchanged is always the father's "you don't understand", plus a sigh.

These days at the forest farm, he was fascinated by the simple and relaxed state of listening to those workers talking about their wives.Now that he heard Li Hui's words again, he finally began to face up to his father's behavior.If you don't want to take concubines, you can put all the responsibility on yourself, and there is no need for your mother to become "the most jealous woman in the capital".

No wonder his grandfather insisted on letting him come to Liaodong, maybe this is the real reason.

"Hey, hey——what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Qinglin came back to his senses, "Isn't there something you don't understand? Let's go home now, and I'll tell you everything. I'll bring you the exam questions and solutions I've done tomorrow, so you can refer to them. "

He decided to assist Li Hui from now on, and stay in the capital after he passed the exam to let everyone know that "a couple for life" is not only for drama.

The two walked back side by side, and saw Li Xiang and Li Qingchuan flirting with each other from a long distance away.Li Qingchuan was also working on the forest farm. Xiao Qinglin knew about the affairs of the Li clan and had a bad impression of him.

"What are you two doing together?"

"I don't know!" Li Hui's tone was indifferent, but his eyes were deeply fixed on Li Xiang.

This old man is a fine individual and never does useless work.Pulling Li Qingchuan away in front of him, is it a gesture of goodwill?

When the two returned home, Yan Yixin and Li Heng were playing with Hu Zi in the yard.

After the cold weather, most women in the village circle their children and prevent them from coming out.If you don't stay out of the house, you won't get sick, and the chance of dying will be reduced.

"Father, Uncle Xiao, you are back."

"Uncle Li, Uncle Xiao." Yan Yixin clasped her hands together.

Li Hui looked at Li Heng's glowing eyes, patted him on the forehead, and said:
"Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you. When Dad finishes talking to your Uncle Xiao, he will take you up the mountain to fight pine cones."

Hearing that Li Heng jumped three feet high, he dragged Yan Yixin back to his room to change clothes.

Xiao Qinglin said "ah" to no avail, she could only look at Li Hui and say:
"Yan Dawei's family property has been sold off. Pan Yongzhang went to exchange food, winter clothes, and cotton socks in person, and sent them to Zhenbei Hou Shizi. My second uncle praised him yesterday. He said that the term of office expired this time. Can be promoted."

"Then you take part in the scientific examination and come here to take office."

Li Hui's calm affirmative sentence immediately made Xiao Qinglin blush with embarrassment.

This is indeed the arrangement at home. Pan Yongzhang's tenure is still three years away, and the family is planning to let him practice for three years, but now he said it...

"Brother Huizi, you can't chat like this, it's too straightforward."

Li Hui pushed open the door of the study room, and said lightly:

"It's just the two of us, it's okay to be straightforward. There are many things I don't understand. You can teach me a little bit first, and then I will take you and Li Heng up the mountain to play pine cones, and stay for dinner at night."

"Okay." Xiao Qinglin had no objection...
