When Long Xiangye's words reached Long Qiuye's ears, she was holding the six-month-old, white and fat Xiao Taiji, standing in front of a sparsely shaded wintersweet tree in the yard, holding Xiao Taiji in her arms.

Taiji's tender little hands imitated the tone of a child's voice, and looked at her brother-in-law Xiao Xiangsheng who was standing next to her, "Can you ask daddy to pick a plain wintersweet for us Taiji... okay..."

Xiao Xiangsheng's scalp felt numb after hearing this, and he was hesitant about how to speak.

All in all, Long Qiuye has been living in their Xiao family for half a year. During these six months, Xiao Xiangsheng has indeed spent money and effort, spent a lot of thought and connections, and tried his best to get Long Qiuye to be selected into the palace.

The emperor announced that he would select girls from good families to serve in the palace, and the selection criteria were extremely stringent.

Although many families are reluctant and unwilling to let their daughters enter the palace and suffer as palace maids, there are also many families who, with the hope that one person will achieve enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, do everything possible to ask someone to send their daughters to the palace.

In the past few years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the weather has been good, the national power has been booming, and the population has also increased rapidly.

It was the first time for Emperor Dezhen to select girls from good families since he came to the throne. There were so many candidates and the competition was fierce.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Xiangsheng still spent a lot of money to help Long Qiuye open up many joints in the palace. Within half a year, the palace sent two eunuchs and two ministers to visit Long Qiuye.

Qiuye. Once this level is passed and Long Qiuye enters the palace, she will no longer be an ordinary handyman palace maid.

But somehow, after these people came to see her, they all unanimously told Xiao Xiangsheng that his sister-in-law was not suitable for entering the palace, and asked him to save some money and stop running around.

At first Xiao Xiangsheng thought that Long Qiuye was too naive and did not know the etiquette and advance and retreat as her sister, which offended the eunuchs and monks who were familiar with the etiquette in the palace, so he spent money to invite a palace minister from the previous dynasty.

Mrs. Xu specializes in teaching Long Qiuye court etiquette.

According to Mrs. Xu, Long Qiuye is still very smart. Etiquette is easy to understand and there is no need to worry too much.

But even so, an aunt recently sent by the palace still rejected Xiao Xiangsheng after looking at Long Qiuye.

Xiao Xiangsheng was very puzzled, so he stuffed a large amount of money in banknotes to this aunt Shang Gong, just hoping that he would become a sensible person even when he died.

As a result, the aunt of the palace looked at Xiao Xiangsheng's handsome face with a half-smile, and said meaningfully: "With such a beautiful and caring brother-in-law, which young lady is willing to spend her years in the deep palace? Even if she can endure it,

Coming out, given her background, she will be destined to be a wedding dress for the rest of her life. The young lady is a sensible person, you, brother-in-law, don’t pretend to be confused." After saying that, she giggled and left the Xiao family.

Only then did Xiao Xiangsheng realize. His first reaction was that Long Qiuye could no longer live in his house. Since he married Long Xiangye, they have been a harmonious couple. The only difference is that Long Xiangye is too considerate to her mother's family.

Lungs are not a big problem. - What woman doesn't stick to her mother's side? It would be abnormal not to stick to her mother's side.

More importantly, Long Xiangye gave birth to two sons for him in succession and was a great contributor to their Xiao family. He was grateful to her and did not want to make her unhappy.

Xiao Xiangsheng knew very well that if he wanted to take a concubine, Long Xiangye, who regarded his husband as his heaven, would definitely not stop her, and might even happily take care of it for him, as long as he was happy.

But to accept her biological sister is to slap her in the face in front of everyone. Not only does it affect their relationship as husband and wife, but it also makes his two legitimate sons how to deal with each other?

Not to mention that she was not a womanizer in the first place, even if she wanted to take a concubine, it was because Long Xiangye could not give birth to a son, so she would take a good concubine into the house in order to continue the family line. Now that she has two sons, she has no concubine.

The reason is that it is to reduce the noise and disputes at home, and he will not carry Long Qiuye back to be his concubine when he is full.

Ever since the palace minister revealed Long Qiuye's true intention to Xiao Xiangsheng, Xiao Xiangsheng had been looking for opportunities to make it clear to Long Qiuye that since she didn't want to enter the palace, she would go home and let her aunt find a good match to marry.

Continuing to stay at Xiao's house will delay her.

Long Qiuye hid his face behind Xiao Taiji's big head and secretly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiangsheng's face.

With such beauty, she would be willing to be my concubine...

"Second aunt, our lady said that you have worked hard, second aunt. The adoptive mother we just hired has already come in. She wants to carry the second young master, and the adoptive mother will take it with her in person from now on. Now the palace has made a list of girls from good families.

, the second aunt and grandma were not selected, our wife is also very sorry, and the second aunt and grandma should not be sad, our wife will definitely help the second aunt and grandma to choose a good marriage, and then add a generous dowry, and give the second aunt and grandma the glory.

Get married and be your first wife." The maid who came to reply was He Rui, the most powerful maid around Long Xiangye. She was not only articulate, but also extremely smart and motivated. She studied and practiced calligraphy with Long Xiangye, and was her most powerful right-hand man.

When Long Qiuye heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he looked at Xiao Xiangsheng with his lips closed, "...brother-in-law, do you want me to leave too?"

Xiao Xiangsheng was so angry that he would have cursed if it wasn't for the fact that the servants and children were here.

Damn it! Why are you acting like this? It’s like you have an affair with her!

Sure enough, when the servants present heard Long Qiuye's words, they all smiled knowingly when they looked at me and me.

Originally, according to the folk customs of Dazhou, the relationship between brother-in-law and sister-in-law was unclear. There is also a saying that sister-in-law is half-ass of brother-in-law. If it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt. If it doesn’t touch, it doesn’t hurt. It’s all dirty things.

Noodles, you eat and I watch, it’s just tacit understanding, why are you pretending to be innocent and heartless...

"I came here today just to tell you this. Since the matter of entering the palace has not been completed, it is not a problem for you to live here all the time. Besides, you have both parents, but you live in the house of your married sister. This is

If word spreads, it will really damage the reputation of your scholarly family. I remember, your brother is about to get married, right? If the reputation of the Long family is ruined, how can any girl be willing to marry your brother? "

Xiao Xiangsheng joined the army when he was young and survived in the army. After he retired, he started from a small gang and reached his current position as a large salt merchant. The various bloody storms he experienced during this period are really not humane. Long Qiuye

This level of seduction and frame-up was really not enough for him to look at.

Long Qiuye blinked, his nose turned red, and tears rushed out of his eyes.

Xiao Xiangsheng clasped his hands, turned around and said calmly to He Rui: "Go and bring the second young master over, I will go with you to see the madam." Then he turned back to the old lady who was waiting on the side and said: "Why are you still standing there? You didn't listen to the madam.

Do you have orders? - Go and pack the things for your second aunt and grandma and send her back to Long's house." After saying that, he covered his forehead with his hands and looked at the sky, "You have to hurry up. It looks like it's cloudy today, it might rain even more.

Snow, don’t waste time.”

He Rui smiled and stepped forward to take Xiao Taiji from Long Qiuye's arms.

Long Qiuye didn't expect Xiao Xiangsheng to stop recognizing anyone after putting up his pants. He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He hugged Xiao Taiji tightly and refused to let go. He simply looked at Xiao Xiangsheng's back and said loudly: "Brother-in-law! You don't want me anymore."

, why do you come into my room in the dark every night?!"
