Chapter 336: Really up to something
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although they had never met Shi Qingluo before, everyone knew about her offering of the seed and instinctively liked it.
After all, it was a good thing for everyone to have an additional high-yielding grain.
Of course, there were also many people who looked down on Shi Qingluo’s status as a village wife.
There were also people who set up a bet behind the scenes, betting on whether Xiao Hanzheng would divorce Shi Qingluo, his village wife after he became the top scorer.
Some young ladies of the officials could not help but yearn for him after seeing this handsome and promising top scorer.!!
After they returned home, they said that they wanted to marry the top scorer.
However, as long as the family was clear-headed, they would not agree. After all, Xiao Hanzheng had an official wife.
It was not realistic for them to force Xiao Hanzheng to divorce his wife.
If Shi Qingluo was just an ordinary village wife, they might also secretly encourage Xiao Hanzheng to divorce his wife and marry their daughter.
After all, judging from the emperor’s attitude, there was a high chance that he would put Xiao Hanzheng in an important position.
His future potential was great, and it would also be a help to them.
But Shi Qingluo was not to be trifled with!
Previously, she had already taken down the third prince’s consort and caused Xiao Yuanshi to be demoted.
He also had a good relationship with Xi Rong, who was doted on by the emperor and empress dowager, and Xi Rui.
It was said that during the flower feast held by the Second Lady of the public adminstration house, she had even slapped General Xiao’s wife’s face until it was swollen.
It was better not to provoke such a valiant village woman.
What if she ran to the imperial palace to complain to the emperor and they were also reprimanded?
Hence, they warned their daughters not to have any devious thoughts.
Unless one day, Xiao Hanzheng would divorce his wife, they could fight for their daughters.
Of course, this was a matter for another day.
On this side, Shi Qingluo booked a private room on the street that faced the street and brought her family to watch her husband parade the street as the top scholar.
Xi Rong and her friends also came to join in the fun.
Xiao Erlang stood by the window and shouted excitedly, “Big brother, that’s our big brother!”
Shi Qingluo and the others also immediately stood over. Even Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili looked down in excitement.
Everyone just happened to see Xiao Hanzheng riding over quickly.
“Hubby, catch!” Shi Qingluo took out a purse that she embroidered herself and threw it at Xiao Hanzheng.
Her embroidery skills were not that good, but after learning from her mother-in-law for a period of time, it was good enough for others to look at it.
After thinking for a while, she embroidered her goose on the purse and prepared to give it to her little hubby as a gift.
Things that she purchased with money weren’t as good as those she made herself.
Previously, many people threw flowers, sachets, and purses at Xiao Hanzheng, but he avoided them.
Now that he heard his little wife shouting and threw a purse over, he caught it quickly with his sharp eyes and quick hands.
He held it in his hand and looked at it.
He could roughly tell that the embroidery was about Dumby.
His face revealed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
His little wife’s embroidery was really unique.
He was also very happy in his heart.
No wonder his little wife had been secretly doing things recently. It turned out that she was sewing a purse for him.
Xiao Hanzheng immediately hung the purse on his waist.
He raised his head and looked at his little wife, revealing an elegant smile.
Shi Qingluo stood by the window.
When she saw him, she immediately hung her embroidered purses on her waist.
She smiled and mouthed, “Brother Zheng, I love you!”
She even used her hand to make a heart shape.
Xiao Hanzheng could read her lips and understood the meaning of his little wife’s hand gestures.
Thus, he also raised his hand and gestured to Shi Qingluo.
Very soon, the horse moved forward.
Shi Qingluo and the others also returned to the private room.
Xi Rui asked curiously, “What are you guys gesturing just now?”
Shi Qingluo replied, “It’s a hand gesture for a heart shape.”
Xi Rui and the others uttered under their breath, they were already an old couple, yet they were still so showy all day long.
Before they had even eaten, they suddenly felt full.
Liang Youxiao smiled and said, “You and old Xiao are really close.
“But this time, he’ll probably attract quite a number of peach flowers as the top scorer.”
This meant that he had to remind Shi Qingluo to pay attention to remove these peach flowers.
Shi Qingluo smiled. “Having peach flowers means that one is outstanding. It’s normal for my hubby to attract peach flowers.
“But in my hubby’s eyes and heart, my family’s flowers are much more fragrant than wild flowers. He won’t pick wild flowers.”
Liang Youxiao and the others thought to themselves, this woman really doesn’t lack confidence.
“You’re really something.” What else could they say? They were speechless.
Liang Youxiao rubbed his chin and said, “I don’t know if old Xiao will be assigned to Hanlin court or transferred out.”
Fei Yuzhe said, “Those who didn’t get assigned to the Hanlin court can’t enter the court. If the emperor thinks highly of him, he will most likely enter Hanlin court.”
The others nodded as well.
Liang Youxiao added, “It’s easy to get political achievements if you transfer out. It’s actually not bad.”
Shi Qingluo smiled nonchalantly. “Each position has its pros and cons. My husband will do whatever the emperor wants.”
She then said smugly, “Hurry up and dig in. We’ll part ways after we finish eating. I want to go home and take a look at our new top scorer.”
Xi Rui rolled his eyes. “A woman who prioritizes her lover over her friends.”
Shi Qingluo smiled. “That’s right. My hubby is number one in my heart.”
After coming to this world, she felt like she had a home because she had her little hubby’s company and spent every day together.
Therefore, in her heart, Xiao Hanzheng was really number one.
Then there were Mother Xiao and the others, and then there were Xi Rong and a few good friends.
Oh right, her goose was also very important.
This time, she also brought Dumby, its harem, and its children along when she came to the city.
But that guy simply couldn’t stay idle.
He would often go out for a stroll, and then he would hook up with a few big white geese from somewhere to become his wives.
Shi Qingluo had no choice even if she didn’t want to give in.
She got her people to find out who’s goose he hooked up with, and paid double the compensation.
He was breaking his old mother’s heart.
Of course, when she went out for a stroll, there would be people following behind her.
Shi Qingluo was also afraid that her goose would be accidentally captured by bad people and turned into a stewed goose in an iron pot.
On the street near where they lived, whenever she went out for a stroll, many people would stare at her curiously.
It couldn’t be helped. ‘
Dumby’s body size was much larger now, and it was about twice the size of an ordinary goose.
Its fur was glossy and black.
Occasionally, his harem and children would follow behind her.
The moment she went out, he would be the prettiest boy on the street.
The few of them looked at her and felt a little envious.
After all, they had never met a couple like Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo who had a good relationship and tacit understanding.
Xi Rong glared at Xi Rui and the others.
She pulled Shi Qingluo and said, “Don’t eat anymore. Follow me to the Southern marquis manor first.”
Shi Qing Luo was confused. “Why are you going to the Southern manor? I want to go back and see my husband.”
Xi Rong chuckled. “Of course, there will be a surprise.”
Xi Rui and the others also reacted. “Right, right. Hurry and follow Xi Rong back. There will be plenty of time to see your husband later.”
Mother Xiao also stood up with her children. “Luoluo, go with Rongrong. Zheng’er will come to pick you up later.”
Shi Qingluo was a little confused, but when she saw their expressions, she had some guesses.
“Alright, then I’ll go back with Rongrong first.”
From the looks of it, it seemed like her young husband was up to something.
Since that was the case, she was even looking forward to it.
