Chapter 438

The county Lord sat down and happened to sit in the last position.

Li Chengjun doesn't care what others think of her. She always goes her own way, but people who see her nearby whisper.

Many people whispered below: "when did the county leader get so close to the Xiao family?"

"Yes, I heard that the county Lord and the fifth Lord came to the door to pay New Year's greetings to Lord Xiao the other day."

"The county leader also took his own dog to play with the children of the Xiao family."

"This is to... Worship master Xiao?"

"In the style of the county leader, it must be like this. Otherwise, what else can she do? Hou Xiao has no brothers at home and she can't marry. Hou Xiao has become a relative again. Can she still be a concubine?"

“……”

At the host's table, Xiao Baozhu's husband respectfully toasted everyone and thanked them for coming. Then he took Xiao Baozhu to the table to toast other guests.

In xiaobaoshan, they sat and ate.

The dishes of the wedding banquet are very good. The dishes are all delicacies. The dishes are very good.

Although the table is round beads, there is no turntable. Xiaobaoshan holds dishes in the distance. He will give ye Xiaoxian chopsticks by the way, so as not to miss Ye Xiaoxian.

Seeing this, the Shangshu's wife couldn't help praising Xiao Baoshan: "I've heard about the love of Xiao Hou's husband and wife for a long time. As soon as I see it today, it's true. You see, my family doesn't know to bring me vegetables."

Shangshu smiled and gave his wife a chopstick.

Li Hongmei joked, "Oh, you young people, don't think about us lonely people. We have to clip everything by ourselves."

Ye Xiaoxian stood up and gave Li Hongmei a chopstick: "Mom, look at you. Tell me what you want to eat, or tell Baoshan that we'll help you if you can't get it."

Li Hongmei immediately praised Ye Xiaoxian: "look, my daughter-in-law is still sensible. She knows how to be filial to me, better than her son."

Mrs. Shang Shu was very interested in Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian, so she asked, "I heard that Lord Xiao and Mrs. Xiao have been married for a long time. They have been married in the countryside. They are childhood sweethearts. It's really rare that they have such a good relationship for so many years."

"I can't talk about childhood sweethearts, but it's true that I have a good relationship. After all, Baoshan left home early and was already a big guy when I came back. They are both tired and crooked no matter where they are. Others don't like it. I'm a mother, but I'm very happy. Who doesn't want to live in harmony at home, don't they?"

Mrs. Shangshu asked again, "so you agree that Mr. Xiao doesn't take concubines?"

"Of course I agree. I agree with both hands and feet." Li Hongmei said: "there are many concubines at home. I won't and don't want to complain about this and that. Moreover, our family is poor. It's just a house. It will be given to my baby grandson in the future. I don't want others to compete for family property."

Li Hongmei glanced at Li Chengjun as she spoke.

Mrs. Shang Shu also had some gossip. She said, "do you care if the people in the capital talk and blame Mr. Xiao for not taking a concubine?"

"What's easy to manage? He doesn't want to take concubines just doesn't want to get into trouble. He was dying on the battlefield. When he came home, he just wanted to be clean and give him concubines. Where else can he be at ease?" Li Hongmei said.

"That's also......" Mrs. Shangshu glanced at the Shangshu, and the Shangshu adult took two concubines. Mrs. Shangshu hated them and threw fox eyes behind her every day.

Li Chengjun is eating. Now she hears some flavor. Li Hongmei's words are actually aimed at her.

"Mrs. Xiao, you're not right. Concubinage depends on two aspects, one is good and the other is bad. If you casually find a flatterer for Lord Xiao, it will certainly make the family restless. If you find a sensible one who can help Lord Xiao in life, it's another matter."

Li Hongmei asked: "How can I help you? A big man needs a woman to help him? Then why did he join the waiting master? Our family Ye is the biggest helper of Baoshan. In the past, when Baoshan went to war, ye gave birth and took care of children at home. It was so hard and tired. She not only gave birth to children, but also raised a large family. Oh, now Baoshan is promising. When he became the waiting master, she hurried to take concubines. That's not enough Is it ingratitude? "

When they heard Li Hongmei say this, they all knew that she was extremely protective of her daughter-in-law.

Ye Xiaoxian was afraid of Li Hongmei's dry mouth and poured her a cup of tea.

Li Chengjun stopped talking. She knew it was useless to say more at this time. She had been rejected by Li Hongmei and ye Xiaoxian.

If she really wants to marry into such a family in the future, she must have been helpless at the beginning.

But Li Chengjun thought again that ye Xiaoxian could help xiaobaoshan. It was just giving birth to children and providing food and clothing for Li Hongmei. She was a county leader. Didn't she have such ability?

She can provide better food and drink.

give birth to a child? A woman can have children. What's the big deal?

Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just have a good relationship because they have been together for a long time.

If she marries here and gives Li Hongmei some benefits from time to time, won't she also get her recognition?

After a while, Xiao Baozhu came back with a toast, and the baby woke up and was crying. So the people at a big table were attracted by the newborn child. Experienced people came to see why he cried, and inexperienced people came to see what happened to the child's crying.

……

After Xiao Baozhu's children's full moon banquet, the days returned to a period of calm.

The year soon ended, and the court resumed. Xiao Baoshan also took a new job to assist the military department in some decision-making work. Sometimes he would do some staff work for Li Chengru. He was not too busy, but he was not idle.

He went home on time every day, checked the children's homework, played with the children for a while, and went back to his room with Ye Xiaoxian at night.

Ye Xiaoxian still studied new recipes during the day. After studying them, she asked the kitchen to follow them, but she didn't do it herself. At night, she indulged in reading books, sometimes reading picture books and sometimes reading something related to children's homework, so as to coach children during the day.

She and Xiao Baoshan still didn't talk much. Even if they talked, they were only limited to "sleep?" "Are you busy today?".

Xiao Baoshan still hasn't made out with her. If she put it in modern times, she will suspect that he has cheated.

Sometimes Ye Xiaoxian also thinks: maybe she has really cheated or changed her mind.

He hasn't touched her since he came back from Beiqing.
