Chapter 523 Chapter 523: I am an official for you, how about it? 【Ask monthly ticket】
"Although Xingning's physical body died, he has always lived in my heart. As long as he is alive, he will be remembered..." When the woman said this, there was a silent sadness in her eyes, even Xu Jie looked at him like this. People who are accustomed to the impermanence of the world are also moved.
Sigh can only sigh this world—without Zheng Qiao's troubles, Yi Yan'an's heart will go the same way.
This seems to be an unsolvable tragedy.
well-
He thought of "The Butterfly Lovers" he watched back then, but he didn't expect that "Ma Wencai" and "Zhu Yingtai" who were a match made in heaven would not end well. He still doesn't know that this heart-stopping and sad emotion is called "my CP is BE".
"Senior Sister Ning, if you don't dislike it, feel free to stay in Fugu and let the younger brother take care of your mother and daughter. If you want to come to feast on the emperor, you will not see you so haggard and hardworking." Xu Jie has no one, more money, more food, more houses, more houses He has a lot of land, and now he is able to repay Senior Sister Ning for her kindness and recommendation. To some extent, Xu Wenzhu would not be where she is today without her.
"In this case, I will bother my junior."
This is the purpose of women changing careers.
It's not that she doesn't trust Xingning's arrangement for their mother and daughter's future, his arrangement is as comprehensive as possible, but it's because of Yan An's friendship, and she is only a widow after all, this relationship is separated by a layer. People's hearts are unpredictable, and people's tea is cold.
At first, people may try their best to take care of their orphans and widowed mothers, but what about after a long time? Sooner or later, you will get bored and even see them as a burden. She didn't want her daughter to experience the pain of being dependent on others too early, so she might as well find another way.
Xu Wenzhu is a man of righteousness, he is kind to him, and he knows each other well. To find a way to make a living with him... Maybe he can't give his daughter a fortune, but at least he doesn't depend on others. Thinking of this, she felt a burden in her heart.
Who knows, at this time—
The boy on one side stared with amazement.
whispered: "This, this is not very good, right?"
Yan Xingning's bones are not cold yet.
Both Xu Jie and the woman looked at him, and the former frowned in displeasure: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The boy pursed his lips and dared not speak.
He is a low-level commoner, and Xu Jie is a literary scholar and the master of the Xu family. How can he bear that momentum? One look at each other, and he was scared. The woman thought back to the conversation just now, and said with a smile: "You misunderstood."
Xu Jie got stuck here for a moment, then reacted instantly, and said in embarrassment, "Does this kid want to be beaten?"
After finishing speaking, he asked the woman again: "Why did Senior Sister Ning bring him? Doesn't his face look uncomfortable?"
The young man realized that he had made an own mistake.
Hearing Xu Jie talk about his face again, he said angrily, "What's wrong with my face? Is it so crooked that it scares people?"
With the capital given by your parents, it's your turn to be pointed out by outsiders? Was he thinking of bumping into Zheng Qiao? How outrageous!
The woman said: "He is a lifesaver."
If there were no young people who were generous and helpful, she and her daughter...may have been reunited with Xingning on Huangquan Road at this moment.
Xu Jie was dumbfounded.
Never expected this to be the answer.
He ordered people to sort out a clean guest house for the three of them, and sent them clothes suitable for filial piety overnight. Worried about not taking good care of them, they gave another hundred taels of silver and gold, as well as scattered copper coins and silver, so that the three of them could purchase the necessary supplies.
The boy was speechless: "So generous?"
Although the assets left by Yan An are enough for the three of them to live comfortably for a long time, who would think too much of money?
The woman didn't refuse either, and accepted them all. She knows very well that now is not the time to be reserved, and the children's future education will require a lot of pen and ink expenses. How could she be willing to let her daughter save money and suffer hardships for the sake of thin skin?
besides-
The education of teenagers should also be grasped as soon as possible. Although his ancestors were butchers and had the skills to make a living, but having one more skill and one more way of life can be regarded as a kindness from his wife to him.
The young man was taken aback when the woman said her plan.
"Ah...I'm going to learn..."
"Could it be that you despise female teachers and can't teach?"
"No, no, absolutely not!" The boy hurriedly waved his hands, shaking his head in denial three times. In fact, for him who was born at the bottom, any intellectual is an existence that is beyond reach and needs pious respect.
The other party also preached to himself...
That's a beautiful thing!
The woman said wearily: "Tomorrow I will go out to buy some pens and inks, and I am familiar with Fugu City, I still have to think of a way..."
Always relying on Xu Wenzhu for relief is not an option.
She and Junior Brother Xu have a clear conscience, but as the saying goes - there are many gossips at the widow's door. Even if the friendship between the two gentlemen and the friendship of the same family, it is not so in the eyes of outsiders.
Women are not unreasonable to worry about.
Xu Jie took in a mother and daughter, and it was a matter of sending money, food, and a house. The next day, it was reported to the wife in the backyard.
He just finished dealing with the bad things, and then he heard that his wife came to bring him soup, so he quickly put down what he was doing.
"Why are you here today, madam?"
"Didn't I think of your hard work, so I brought you some soup to nourish you?" The lady opened the food box and brought out the porcelain bowl.
"Madam still understands me."
Xu Jie didn't doubt that there was him, and it happened that he was also a little hungry at the moment, so he buried his head in the soup, and found something was wrong when he took the first bite.
His wife's handicraft and cook's handicraft...
can still be distinguished.
Every time like this, he knew that the other party had something to ask him. So he finished his drink slowly, wiped his mouth, and waited for his wife to speak. Sure enough, she asked while cleaning the porcelain bowl: "I heard that you took in a mother and daughter yesterday?"
Xu Jie raised his eyebrows, but he still explained: "It's a senior sister from the same school, who was kind to me when I was young. Now that you come to join me, you naturally have to settle down with her. Presumably someone said something nasty to you? Don't believe those slanderous things..."
"Senior sister from the same school? I haven't heard you mention it."
"It's not appropriate to talk about married women all day long." Why is he talking to his wife about his senior sister who is married? He knew what his wife was worried about, so he said, "Senior Sister Ning is different from others. She has a high-minded and arrogant temper. Those gossips and gossips with dirty ears will be dealt with, and don't spread to her ears. If she takes someone away in a fit of anger, won't I become ungrateful?" ?”
Madam looked embarrassed.
"It's not about worrying about the master's reputation..."
Nothing like this has ever happened before.
When Xu Jie first took over the Xu family, he spent most of the year running the business outside, and it was impossible for his wife to accompany him. He didn't know who he met outside or what happened to him. As a businessman, it is common for her to find flowers and ask Liu when she is out in loneliness. She has always worried that Xu Jie will bring her a younger sister or an infant child...
Fortunately, it never happened. In ten days and a half months, she still received a letter from home reporting her safety, which gave her peace of mind.
The concubine who was worried about before marriage is also gone.
I have been used to it for many years.
Hearing this at first glance, coupled with those embellished descriptions, is tantamount to being stunned. She wanted to insinuate the identities of the mother and daughter, but she didn't expect that Xu Jie didn't even intend to hide it, and she was so frank that she was speechless.
Embarrassment: "If, if so, you really need to take good care of it."
Xu Jie lowered his head and opened the document: "Yes."
When he was free and didn't have time to burn incense, his servants sent a message saying that Senior Sister Ning asked to see him, and he immediately put down his work.
"Sister, did you sleep soundly last night?"
"The text notes are well arranged, very good." The woman didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, "I just came here, and I saw the officials in the government office in a hurry. It seems that there is a shortage of people?"
Xu Jie hadn't realized the reason for the woman's visit.
He just nodded and replied: "It's really lacking. This is also the problem left by the previous Shen Jun. It's just that Shen Jun has a lot of talents, one person can be used by ten people, and the operation of the management office is very smooth. It is somewhat stretched to put it here. ..."
He wanted to recruit some people from Tianhai.
but-
When he thought of the bad things, he couldn't help showing a sad look.
Heyin County has been governed by Shen Tang for two years, and has had a bumper harvest for two consecutive years. The people's homes have abundant reserves, and they are currently considered a piece of fat. Since it is fatty meat, everyone wants to take a bite. He Yin's current land is nominally owned by the public, and he can lease it to anyone. Shen Tang also left him a mine vein and an abandoned workshop...
The kind that can be restarted after a little tidying up.
The protagonist Wu Xian was a little moved.
Tianhai and the others were also very excited.
Only Xu Jie thought it was a hot potato.
In the past few days, people have been coming and going about the relationship, playing the card of friendship between the two families, hoping that Xu Jie can make an opening so that they can smoothly intervene in He Yin. But Xu Jie knows that once this opening is opened, the consequences will be disastrous...
At least, it's not what Shen Jun wants to see.
Immediately afterwards, the senior sister's voice came to my ears clearly: "Since it is missing, why don't I become an official for you, how about it?"
Xu Jie: "..."
a bolt from the blue! !
