050 Father Xu

What the hell is a scholar-in-law? Why does this name sound so...rustic!

Of course, Jinniang only dares to think about this idea in her heart, but she dares not say it out, otherwise many people would say she is not satisfied.

Scholar lady, how many people want this title, but there is no one yet.

Think about Xu Erlang became a scholar, but when he saw the county magistrate, he would not be appointed by the county magistrate, and he was also a student in the ritual. From now on, he would have broken silver and rice distributed by the court every month. This treatment... Although there is no shortage of that thing at home, what is important is the style, do you understand?

Jinniang was a little excited when she thought of this.

She was happy and waved her hand to say to several maids in the house, "Please bring that box of copper coins to the gate. If someone comes to report the good news, sprinkle some copper coins. In addition, to congratulate our mansion, we will give us an extra month's monthly salary."

Xu Pianpian led Changle into the door at this moment, and couldn't help but cheer happily, "Second sister-in-law, we also need to receive an extra monthly salary."

"Okay, okay, let it be for you too." Jinniang waved to let the two little guys come over. She hugged Changle in her arms, but stretched out her finger and pointed Xu Pianpian. "I still lack your money in my family, and I have to fight for the monthly salary. If you don't have enough monthly salary, my sister-in-law will give you a little more."

Xu Pianpian waved his hand quickly, "No, I have a lot of money in my hand. Isn't this trying to get some joy from my second brother, and celebrate it? Changle must have thought so too, right?"

Changle couldn't understand what the younger aunt and second aunt were talking about, but he still nodded seriously.

Changle and Jinniang became more familiar with each other, and they didn't make trouble when they were nestled in Jinniang's arms. They were so obedient to hold her arm.

Seeing this, Xu Erlang suddenly had an idea for some reason: It seems that it is good to have a daughter!

After all, he was thinking that Jinniang was in her early pregnancy and could not suffer, so he reached out and said, "Changle comes to uncle."

Changle was a little unwilling to do so. Compared to her hard and cold second uncle, she obviously prefers her gentle and fragrant aunt. But she gained weight and her aunt would be tired after holding her.

The little girl obediently stretched out her hand and was taken into her arms by Xu Erlang.

Xu Erlang touched her soft hair and praised, "Changle is so good."

Changle narrowed his eyes with pleasure and drilled into Xu Erlang's arms.

Seeing that the big and small get along well, Jin Niang didn't care anymore, so she turned her head and asked Xu Pianpian, "Did you hear the news?"

"That's not. But it wasn't the news that came from my second sister-in-law, I personally sent someone to inquire." The girl was very proud of this, "I was afraid that you would forget me when you were busy, so I sent someone to inquire. I gave five taels of silver, and the servant ran away very quickly. I heard that he got home one step later than Mohe next to my second brother."

Jinniang laughed, "Grown up."

"Of course, after I knew that my second brother was on the list, I thought that you would definitely be very busy later. So I sent someone to notify my third brother and mother on behalf of you. As for my father, huh, he should know too."

Father Xu knows it now.

He just likes to drink flower wine, doesn't care too much about the family, doesn't control his children, and looks very unregulated. But Xu's father doesn't think so in his heart. He feels that he can be useful at critical moments, and it's really impossible to lack him in the mansion.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have scratched his head bald, checked all the girls in Pingyang Town, and finally decided for Xu Erlang that Jinniang he was very optimistic about.

Otherwise, he would not have planned everything. He first forced Xu Erlang to abandon martial arts and follow the literature, and then went around to take the opportunity for Xu Erlang, hoping that he would be admitted to the scholar.

Although it was later proved that his second move was purely a superfluous move, Xu's father taught him a lesson and left this matter behind.

He had a big fight with Xu Erlang that day. Although he was yelling very hard and said he would not care about them anymore, but who told him to be a human being? His son was not in a position to deal with it. How could he not worry more?

Xu's father was worried since Xu Erlang entered the examination room. After finally waiting for Xu Erlang to leave the examination room, he was so anxious that he really wanted to pull Xu Erlang in front of him and ask carefully how he was taking the exam. He had a good idea.

But his son didn't give in to him, so he went to find him first. Didn't that prove that he had compromised and bowed to that kid?

It was related to face issues, Xu's father decided to hold on to the end.

But he was very concerned after all. So he booked a room in the restaurant opposite the Gongyuan a few days in advance, and he had rested there these few days.

The location is good, and you can even see the posted list in the room on the second floor by the window.

Xu's father kept guarding since dawn. When he saw the two big words Xu Yi, he couldn't believe it.

After rubbing his eyes several times, he asked Wang Kui beside him, "Is it Erlang? Look at the fourth name, Xu Yi, is that my son?"

Wang Kui cried, "Master, I, I'm illiterate!"

Xu's father kicked him, "What's the point of asking you?"

Wang Kui quickly said, "Although I am illiterate, I know that among all the students who participated in the college entrance examination, our young master is called Xu Yi, and no one has the same name as the young master. Since Xu Yi is written on it, it must be the second young master."

"Is it my son? My son is now a scholar? Then I am the scholar's father?"

"Yes, yes, the master is the scholar's father."

"Hahaha, I have a scholar's son in my lifetime. Oh my son is so proud. I said I had long seen that Erlang is the man who came to Wenqu Xingjun, otherwise he would not have been a scholar after studying for a few months. How many people got the white hair and were still a boy? Compared with them, my Erlang is really, what, Wen Si is quick and his official career is prosperous."

Wang Kui smiled and flattered, "Yes, yes, yes, the master is as keen as a wise man, and everything he said is right." But he was complaining in his heart, what idioms the master used were all messy, and it was not as good as he used them.

The two of them shouted and made a fuss in the guest room, and everyone downstairs heard it.

The shopkeeper also knew Xu's father, but in fact, no one in Pingyang Town didn't know Xu's father. After all, it's rare to see him as a dandy person.

But he is so lucky to be such a playboy and such an uncontrollable person.

He was born with money and achieved nothing in his life and lived his life as a wealthy master. Finally, his eldest son died and the family had no support. Xu Erlang became a scholar and gained fame again... It seems that the Xu family's luck is very good.

The shopkeeper was very active and quickly sent someone to congratulate him. In addition, he also waived all the money Xu's father spent in the inn these days, which was called "wining in joy".

Xu's father was happy. Others gave him face, but he also gave him face. So in front of the shopkeeper, he gave his son who was the accountant ten taels of silver and said, "Happy together."

The ten taels of silver were much more than the room and meal money that the shopkeeper had waived before. Seeing this, the shopkeeper was happy and at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable.

This father Xu, alas, forgot, some people are favored by God, and he is lucky. What can you do with him?
