C19 (2/2)
Xiao Dazong could not help but look at Xu Hui, who was sitting on the horse. Because Niu Niu was sleepy, she had been trying to keep her awake so that she would not catch a cold. Xiao Da Yong smiled. The place where she had a wife and sister was her home.
Arriving at the Xiao family, he saw the Xiao Pao and the Xiao Li's disease. Xu Hui knew that they were waiting for his reply, but he was still angry. They knew that Xiao Dayong was going back to camp today, but they did not prepare anything.
However, Xu Hui was a person who was calmer the more angry she was. She smiled and said to Xiao Pao, ”My father has read Third Uncle's essay. She said that Third Uncle's studies were solid and his essay was smooth, and that is —”
”Just what?” No matter how rough he was, he could understand his father's meaning. His father had obviously said that Third Uncle's studies were not good, so why did his wife call his studies solid?
Xu Hui quietly pulled Xiao Dazong's hand. Xiao Dazong quickly retracted his surprised face and tried his best to control his emotions. He sat at the side with a wooden face and listened to Xu Hui's serious nonsense.
Xu Hui looked at the Xiao Pao and the Xiao Pao and said regretfully, ”I heard that the overseer of our county is from the Yao family of Qingzhou. The scholars that come from this family love to read rich and flowery articles, and I'm afraid this Yao family's overseer is also like that!”
”Dazong's daughter-in-law, what does all this have to do with your third uncle?” The Xiao Li's disease was a little confused listening to some kind of overseer or maester, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious listening to what she wanted to hear the most.
Xu Hui looked at Xiao Li's disease and smiled, ”Milk, think about it, the overseer is the one who manages the exams. Third Uncle has to be an Elementary Scholar, so he can't pass the examinations first. Although the examinations are hosted by the county, the overseer has to know whether the results are good or bad.
”Like I said, San'er studied so well and failed all these years. So it's all because of this!” Xiao Li's disease finally understood what Xu Hui was saying and he could not help but pat his own son's thigh and say, ”Tell me, what's so bad about such a smooth essay? What's the point of having to write it so nicely? We, San'er, are just too honest. Tell me, why is this senior overseer —”
Xu Hui's cough and the sound of Xiao Pao knocking on the pipe sounded at the same time. Xiao Li's disease reacted and quickly stopped talking.
However, no matter what, Xu Hui's words gave the Xiao Pao and the Xiao Li's disease a bad impression of Xiao He, and gave them an excellent excuse. It was not that their son was not good enough, but it was just not good enough for the examiners!
Xu Hui had already said what she needed to say, but she had yet to hear what she needed to hear.
Xu Hui stood up and pulled Niu Niu, and said to Xiao Pao and Xiao Li's disease: ”Grandma, since there's nothing else, I'll be going back with my husband first. He has to hurry back to Camp to report today, I heard that there's going to be a war, I have to prepare some things for him!” No matter what, his family was going to the battlefield, so even if Xiao Li's disease and his family didn't prepare anything, they should at least say a few words of advice!
Unexpectedly, the Xiao Li's disease actually said: ”Prepare what? The Camp sends everything, don't waste your time! ” She only gave them one or two bags of things as a form of filial piety when he came back from home with so many things. He moved the rest into her own room. What an unfilial thing! What a waste for a soldier to use all those things in a war!
Xu Hui was so angry that she almost slapped Xiao Li's disease on the face. She had seen shameless people, but she had never seen such a shameless person.
Xiao Da Yong's heart was in pain. This was what his mother had often said in the past, so Xiao Da Yong was used to the fact that his family never prepared anything for him, nor did he feel that there was anything that he needed. Now that he had married Xu Hui and had someone treat him with such warmth, Xiao Dayong realized that he was looking forward to the warmth of his family. However, reality was very cruel and told him that his family did not treat him with any warmth at all!
Xu Hui tried her best to suppress the urge to slap him. She wanted to mock him, but when she saw Xiao Dayong's sad expression, she swallowed her words back down her throat.
Xu Hui pulled Xiao Da Yong along and said to Xiao Pao and Xiao Li's disease, ”Let's go back!” Without even looking at Xiao Pao's and Xiao Li's disease's faces, he walked straight out.
Returning to his room, Xu Hui took out a bag of skin and wrapped a big bag of meat that Zhou's had brought for her with oil paper. He also wrapped dozens of boiled eggs and a few pancakes, and after thinking for a while, he wrapped up a jar of pickled cucumber and the medicine Xu Jingyao had given her and put them into the bag.
”If you have the time to come back, then come back to difference person. I'll make a few pairs of shoes for you in the next two days so that you can bring them with you when the time comes!”
”Wife —” Tears welled up in Xiao Dayong's eyes as he looked at Xu Hui, who was helping him pack his bags and thinking about making shoes for him.
