Chapter 409 Xu Yaner
There are now more than just two military households as before, and as long as Song Liyun asks for someone to work, there are plenty of people in the military camp for her to choose from.
Just look at Lin Tao, Zhou Xiang, and those few young soldiers in Tianxiang Tower. Their monthly wages are twice as much as in the camp, and everyone is envious of them.
Now that his worries were exposed by Old Master Zhang, he immediately became impatient: "Old Master, I was just talking, I really didn't take a penny!"
Old Master Zhang snorted twice: "Master Xue is not greedy, but he can't resist the fact that his family is not well-off and his ears are soft!"
Xue Zhuang's face flushed red, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and bowed randomly: "Grandpa, you are right in reminding me. I, Xue, learn my lesson!" Then he left in a hurry.
He was so flustered that he didn't even dodge the waiter who was coming over to serve tea, and the tea in his hands was almost spilled by him. "Oh my, old man, why is Mr. Xue so flustered? No wonder I saw Madam Xu still waiting outside!"
Old Master Zhang frowned: "What is she doing here? Did she meet Miss Song?"
The waiter put the freshly brewed tea aside and then mumbled, "Mrs. Xu met Miss Song. They seemed to have exchanged a few words, but Miss Song ignored her."
Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and thought for a moment: "Forget it. If I can't live a good life, there's nothing others can do about it."
When Song Liyun left the guild hall, she indeed met Xu Yaner who was rushing over.
From a distance, Xu Yan'er, who had already become a mother, wore a golden hairpin on her head and was dressed in a bright silk dress, which made her look even more gorgeous. Beside her was a little yellow-haired maid holding a child about one year old.
She has become much fuller-bodied, her face is fair and tender, and she exudes the charm of maternal love. She is more beautiful than her previous youthful appearance.
Xu Yan'er stopped dead in her tracks the moment she saw Song Liyun. She raised her hand to tidy up her hair, which was tilted by the golden hairpin, and said in a raised voice, "Ah! Isn't this Miss Song? I haven't seen you for quite some time. How come you don't look fairer... and you look even darker and thinner!"
This is not good. You are still a girl. Don't ruin yourself just to earn a few taels of silver. Those things should be done by men.
Do you want me to give you the recipe for nourishing the body that my mother’s family has for me?”
Song Liyun travels around everywhere, and even though she pays attention to skin care, her skin cannot compare with that of Xu Yaner, a young woman who sits at home and breastfeeds her child.
But her temperament has long made people ignore whether her skin is white or not.
At least Zhao Tingduo, Wan Yanming and others never said that.
Even Lin Qingyuan, who was the most picky and gossipy, didn't seem to realize this problem.
Song Liyun didn't want to talk about beauty with Xu Yaner.
Her eyes quickly passed by Xu Yan'er, and then she changed her target without stopping. As she passed by Xu Yan'er, she said lightly, "You'd better just be a good canary and stay out of other people's business!"
When Xu Yan'er saw Song Liyun leaving in a somewhat "embarrassed" manner, and even turning her head away and not daring to compare herself with herself, she suddenly felt happy.
She has always had some kind of indescribable dissatisfaction with Song Liyun, probably a subconscious comparison.
At first, I felt bad when I saw Song Liyun and that annoying Xiao An were looking for trouble with me.
Xiao An is a silly kid, but he compares himself to others.
Later, Xue Zhuang followed Song Liyun to choose a house, and his attentiveness made her feel jealous.
Fortunately, she managed to pry open the wall and pull Xue Zhuang into her bed.
Although she was always worried that Xue Zhuang and Song Liyun were still having an affair, she was also really proud of herself.
It was not until the bandits broke into the town and he almost died in the fire, and was saved by Song Liyun, and Xue Zhuang wanted to express his gratitude, that Xu Yan'er calmed down and dared not make trouble again.
But now Xu Yan'er has given birth to a child and become a mother, while Song Liyun is still unmarried, and the comparison in her heart can no longer be suppressed.
It’s a pity that Song Liyun walked too fast and didn’t give her a chance to show off her fat son.
Xu Yan'er straightened her breasts, two milk stains clearly visible on her silk dress, and proudly shouted to Song Liyun's back, "If you don't get married soon, you'll be an old maid. Otherwise, I'll find you a husband.
You look dark and old now. Even if your family is rich, I'm afraid no man would be willing to marry you.
I am also generous and will not argue with you. At least I will help you choose a widower with land..."
"Shut up!"
Xue Zhuang rushed over at great strides. He did not see Song Liyun leave, but only heard his wife screaming in a shrill voice.
Xu Yan'er was stunned by Xue Zhuang's sudden shout.
Ever since she gave birth to a son, she became a great contributor to the Xue family. No one at home could make her angry, and even Xue Zhuang had to coax her to be happy.
"Brother Zhuang, you, you yelled at me?"
Xu Yaner looked incredulous, her lips pursed as if she was about to cry.
Xue Zhuang was already feeling upset, and now they were on the street. When he heard what Xu Yan'er shouted at Song Liyun, he felt the veins on his forehead bulging.
Although there were still people on the street looking at this side, what he was worried about was not that others dared to gossip, but whether Song Liyun heard it.
Seeing Xue Zhuang's unfriendly expression, Xu Yan'er immediately took her son from the maid's arms in anger and secretly pinched the child's butt.
"Wow!"
The pink and tender little baby suddenly burst into tears.
This was the experience she had gained over the past six months. No matter how much she annoyed Xue Zhuang, as long as the child cried, Xue Zhuang would soften his heart.
However, her plan failed this time. Xue Zhuang did not apologize gently like he did in the past. Instead, he walked home with a sullen face: "Is your elder brother still here?"
Xu Yan'er's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't care about the child crying. She quickly picked up the child and followed behind: "Brother Zhuang, my eldest brother came here because he missed me, please don't chase him away!"
The little maidservant didn't seem to react. Only when she saw the two people walking away did she jog to catch up.
She was bought by Xue Zhuang from Qili County. She had only been in the Xue family for half a month and was usually responsible for taking care of the children and doing housework.
Although my uncle who came to visit my sister's family makes the master unhappy every day, today is the first time I see the master scolding the lady.
The couple walked home arguing.
As for Song Liyun, she had no choice but to find Xue Zhuang and scold him this time.
She is not the kind of person who won't listen to an explanation. In the past, she would have explained the reason clearly.
But now she is going to get married and go to the grassland in a few months. Song Dekui has Hecheng to take care of, so the affairs of Suijin Town will definitely be handed over to Han Ming.
With the arrival of foreign merchants, Suijin Town became more and more prosperous, and Xue Zhuang became more and more powerful.
He certainly wanted to repay Song Liyun.
Repaying a favor and being obedient are two different things.
Xue Zhuang would not be willing to always be subservient to a woman.
However, the constraints brought by the oath still exist, and he will not offend Song Liyun.
Han Ming was different. He was just a poor man in the town and a servant of the Song family, so he naturally looked down on them.
The Song family is the richest family in the town and is also a military household. They should have shared weal and woe with the garrison.
Xue Zhuang used the excuse of fighting for profits for the military households to secretly separate the rabbit households and the Song family into two opposing sides.
In this way, the Song family will not suffer a big loss, and he can gain the reputation of a military household, and he will have the capital to show off his power in Suijin Town in the future.
His idea was good, but Song Liyun didn't want to cooperate and didn't give him any time, exposing the plan early.
She used her domineering and overbearing attitude to embarrass Xue Zhuang, leaving room for Han Ming to maneuver.
It is easier to get the job done if one person plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop.
Faced with the domineering Song Liyun, Xue Zhuang naturally had to maintain a good relationship with Han Ming.
After coming out of the guild hall, Song Liyun ignored Xu Yaner and walked into her own ice cellar Yu Ruixiang not far away in just a few steps.
At this time, Yu Ruixiang was extremely cool because of the cool air coming out of the ice cellar.
While counting on his abacus, Shopkeeper Mu spoke to the young man, whose face was half covered by a green hat, "Xiaoliang, you must remember to add this to the account.
Today, in addition to Tianxianglou taking away two extra lamb legs, two other barbecue restaurants also took away 100 kilograms of beef..."
