Chapter 368: Old Lady Xu Guards the House
"Come, come, one piece of candy each!"
It is wrong to lie to children.
Especially as an elder!
Therefore, compensation must be given.
One piece of candy per person!
"Hurry up, sweet mouth!"
Fubao had a piece of candy in each hand. Well, this was compensation for being an elder who had just deceived a child.
"Thank you, little aunt!"
Even the clever Erbao didn't notice that their aunt didn't eat the red beans at all.
"Little kids, you're so easy to fool!"
Fubao was very proud.
However, no matter how proud you are, you cannot show it on your face.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, will she still be able to save her face as an aunt?
When the two older nephews ate the candies and had smiles on their faces, Fubao called them out again.
What are you doing outside?
Of course I went to eavesdrop!
Unfortunately, before Fubao and his two nephews could get close to the Lu family's yard, the three of them were attracted by the clanging sound of gongs and drums coming from the village entrance.
"What happened again?"
Fubao didn't bother to eavesdrop and quickly ran towards the village entrance with his two nephews.
"Aunt Bao!"
"Fubao, Fubao!"
…
When Fubao, Dabao and Erbao ran towards the village entrance, the little kids in the village were doing the same thing, watching the fun. Children are always more active than adults.
Then, various voices calling out "Fubao" were heard.
Boys, girls, little kids, big kids, soon they gathered into a group.
A group of little kids appeared at the entrance of the village, and the scene was truly spectacular.
When Fubao saw the situation at the village entrance, he was extremely excited.
The people who came were government officials, and judging by their attitude, they came to report good news.
Sure enough, it was good news.
Great victory at Huangfengkou!
The second Xu killed the little prince of the Northern Barbarians in battle, and the old man Xu led his troops to defeat the Northern Barbarian cavalry, and both of them were rewarded.
Old Master Xu was granted the title of County Magistrate, and Second Master Xu was granted the title of Fifth Rank Brave General!
Old Master Xu now truly has a title, while Second Master Xu is still a little short of that, but as long as he makes some more achievements, he will probably get the title.
When Mr. Xu was conferred a title, the rank of Mrs. Xu's imperial edict was naturally raised as well.
Correspondingly, Xu Laoer's wife, Li, was also awarded a title because of Xu Laoer's military achievements.
"Old Xu family, this is really smoke coming out of the ancestral grave!"
"you do not say!"
"Come on, forget it. I earned this achievement by risking my life on the battlefield. What does it have to do with my ancestral tomb?"
"That's right, Old Xu's kung fu is amazing!"
"Xu Lao Er is even more powerful. We can't match the strength of his arms!"
…
The Xu family was very happy, and the villagers were inevitably talking about it.
At this moment, Fubao was looking at her mother smiling as she showed off her new imperial robes. Her second sister-in-law also had a big smile on her face.
But her eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law looked a little strange.
Come to think of it, her eldest brother is very smart, her third brother is an outstanding student, but her second brother is stupid and reckless.
But now, it was his second brother who made a big move first, and his military achievements on the battlefield made his second sister-in-law receive a title.
I hope her eldest and third sister-in-law won’t do anything crazy and cause any trouble!
Squinting his eyes and looking at his eldest and third sister-in-law who were forcing smiles, Fubao suddenly felt a little sad.
The atmosphere in this family has always been good. If any rift is caused by this incident, it would be very bad.
But military merit is not something that Fubao can get just by praying.
Although his eldest brother's fighting ability is okay, he is not on the same level as his second brother. As for his third brother, there is no need to worry about him. Once the firecrackers arrive at the front of the battle, it will definitely be a great achievement.
In this case, only his eldest brother is left in a difficult situation.
For a moment, Fubao was a little worried.
Of course, she was only worried for a short while before the matter was resolved by her mother, Old Lady Xu.
He took off his imperial robes and put on his usual coarse cloth clothes.
"Okay, that's over!"
"The eldest and third oldest families, don't think too much about it."
"The eldest and third daughters' abilities aren't meant for the battlefield. Don't dwell on this. You're ruining the relationship between husband and wife, weakening the relationship between sisters-in-law, and damaging the relationship between us mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"
"Mom, I understand!"
"Mom, I was wrong!"
Zhou and Wang both shuddered when they heard what their mother-in-law said.
The moment they saw Li wearing the imperial robes, they both felt a sense of injustice and jealousy. Similarly, they also felt a bit of resentment towards their own men, wondering why they were so useless.
When Mrs. Xu said this, both Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang were shocked.
They are not stupid.
Zhou has always been very clear-headed.
Wang Shi, due to her background, can be spoiled, sentimental, and even pretentious at times, but she truly has feelings for Xu Lao San.
Thinking about how she had just blamed Xu Lao San for being useless, Wang felt a pang of fear.
Is Xu Laosan a loser?
At such a young age, he was already the top scorer in the imperial examination in Xiangyi Prefecture.
Next, as long as Xu Laosan goes to Beijing to take the imperial examination and passes, his future will be bright.
Is such a man called a loser?
"Um!"
Old Mrs. Xu was very satisfied with the reactions of her two daughters-in-law.
As for Li, she was not worried at all.
Because the second daughter-in-law has always been a simple-minded person, she just follows the eldest daughter-in-law in everything. As the second of the three sisters-in-law, Li never compares herself with others and is a truly pleasing daughter-in-law.
The three sons each have their own characteristics.
The three daughters-in-law are also different.
Fortunately, there were no major disputes in this family. Occasional minor frictions were normal.
"Ginger is spicy when it is old, and mother is fragrant when she is dear to her!"
Fubao was worried that her three sisters-in-law might do something dirty to each other, but after hearing what her mother said, Fubao could only say that her mother was really mighty and domineering.
In fact, there are many people who want to see the Xu family make a fool of themselves.
Especially those who are hostile to the Xu family, such as many people in the Xu Mansion in the capital, such as the Grand Princess and the Princess of Yan.
However, these people are destined to be disappointed.
With Old Mrs. Xu as the anchor at home, the Xu family will be very stable.
Of course, some people who have no hostility towards the Xu family, such as Fubao's uncle, the wealthy Marquis Zhao Er, are also very confused at this moment.
"That doesn't make sense. Why didn't they make a fuss?"
"Xiao Wu, don't all women like to compare themselves with others?"
Zhao Bingzhao was very uneasy.
Zhao Rui shrugged and said, "Master, well, they are just sisters-in-law. They each have their own man. Even if they want to compete with each other, they won't quarrel like those women in the same man's backyard!"
"Do you understand it well?"
Zhao Bingzhao glanced at Zhao Rui and said, "You're an old bachelor, but you speak as if you know everything!"
"..." Zhao Rui was so angry that he said, "Master, we are the eldest brother, not the second brother. Aren't you also an old bachelor? You are older than me and still a bachelor!"
"You little bastard, who are you talking about, big brother or second brother? You're rebelling!"
Master Zhao Er was instantly so angry that he became embarrassed!
