lady, please calm down

Chapter 120 Heroes Conference
The thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

At the end of Maoshi, the sky suddenly broke, and the bright red morning glow like fish scales spread all over the sky.

"Officer, you're better."

The cat who had already woken up looked at the hazy sky through the window paper, and wanted to get up, but was hugged tightly by Chen Chu, so he had to gently push Chen Chu.

"Hold for a while"

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the temptation of a warm bed is infinite, Chen Chugong, who was half asleep and half awake, said in a daze on Mao'er's chest.

Mao'er was a little helpless, stretched out her small hand to gently caress the back of Chen Chu's head, and coaxed softly: "Guardian, be good, the county magistrate invited you into the city today."

Thinking of this incident, Chen Chu's sleepiness faded by half.

Yesterday, Cai Kun had communicated with Chen Chu in advance, and today he called Chen Chu over, most likely because he was scolded.

That week Ba contacted several gentry from the country, and sued himself in front of the county magistrate.

The cat on the side noticed that Chen Chu's hug was not so tight anymore, so he took the opportunity to break out of his embrace, lay down under the bed and fumbled to take off Aolai's corset, and prepared to put on a bellyband so that he could get dressed and get up.

Chen Chu yawned, and said lazily, "Lady, Aolai's bra can be worn inside on weekdays, and it's not only for sleeping."

Mao'er was a little shy, and didn't respond to Chen Chu. She tied up her bellyband under the bed before sitting up and getting dressed.

The hazy light coming in from the window created a smooth texture like porcelain jade on the skin.

After a few days of working together, the two became a bit like fish in water, and Mao'er gradually tasted the beauty of it under the guidance of Teacher Chen.

However, in her perception, catgirl outfits such as Aolai corsets and cat ears are not proper to wear after all.

So put it on every night when you go to bed, and take it off again when you get up in the morning.
After a while, the lady of the Chen family had already put on her clothes quickly, and she didn't care about dressing herself. The cat first poured hot water and wet the towel, and couldn't help but scrub Chen Chu's face, who was getting dressed at a leisurely pace. , and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

In fact, Cui Yuan can do things like cooking, but Maoer insists on doing so.

After washing his face, Chen Chu was much more energetic. Taking advantage of the little time the cat was cooking, he went downstairs and punched a set of six-step punches.

This six-step boxing was taught by Yang Dalang, and it is said that it is a relatively simple and easy-to-learn entry-level boxing technique.

Chen Xiaoge may not have a chance to become a martial arts master in this life, but it is not bad to use it to build up strength.

After all, the scene where a few people helped him set up his leg and it took more than a dozen sticks to break it was really embarrassing.

After the meal, Chen Chu led Xiaohong out.

Outside the courtyard, Liu Bo and a group of young people are making various colorful objects, including stilts for walking on stilts, colored boats for rowing dry boats, dragon and lion dances for lion heads and dragon bodies made of bamboo strips
Tongshan County has a local custom of making Lantern Festival. On the 15th of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, community fires are lit, lanterns are hung, stilts are walked, dry boats are rowed, and dragon and lion dances are performed.

However, due to the hardships of previous years, Luliuwei has not organized its own Lantern Festival team for several years, and they always go to the city or neighboring villages to watch others play.

This year, life was better and there was some momentum, so Uncle Liu and Chen Chu discussed to reorganize the team for the Lantern Festival.

Chen Chu naturally agreed, and notified Mao'er, and allocated a special sum of money to support it.

There is still one month before the Lantern Festival, but the hearts of all the young and old in the village have been hooked early. Even if they make a utensil for the Lantern Festival, it will attract a bunch of people to watch in the morning.

Dabaojian stood at the periphery of the crowd, with Liu Lanzhi's daughter Daya on her neck. Daya was so involved that she grabbed Dabaojian's hair tightly with both hands in order to stabilize her figure, and her scalp was pulled up.

It was painful to watch, but the big sword didn't seem to notice it, and even used one hand to support Da Ya's back to prevent the little person from falling.

At the beginning of Chen Shi, Chen Chu rode a horse, and Da Lang and his eldest son drove an ox cart, and they left Luliuxu.

back house.

When the officials went out, Mao'er had time to sit in front of the dowry and make up.

'Boom~boom~'

Applying a layer of red lip balm on the cherry lips, Mao'er pursed his lips to even out the lip balm, and then smiled without warning.

No reason, just happy.

But then, Yunong walked in with a resentful face.

Seeing the cat dressing up, Yu Nong moved the bag herself, sat next to the cat, pouted her chubby mouth and looked at the cat
The cat was uncomfortable being looked at, and softly reprimanded: "What's the matter in the early morning, you can hang oil bottles on your mouth."

She can naturally guess why Yunong complained. In the past, when she and the officials were not in the same room, she watched Yunong very closely.

Now we are in the same room, the young couple are like glue.
Yu Nong can't get anyone anymore.

But it's hard to say this, Yunong said with a sullen face: "Sister, lend me your clothes."

Although Yu Nong didn't mention what kind of clothes 'that dress' was, Mao'er wrinkled her nose and refused without any hesitation: "I won't borrow it!"

joke!It's close-fitting clothing, how can I borrow it indiscriminately.

"Humph~"

Yu Nong seemed to have guessed the result long ago, and stood up angrily, "No excuse! I will do it myself!"

"." Cat.

"Brother Chu, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be a Lantern Festival. My father wants to invite Uncle Shen from Lanke Village, Qipanling, to our village to have fun. Let me ask you what you mean."

On the way to the county seat, Dalang said.

"Qipanling Lanke Village?"

"Well, in the deep mountains twenty miles northwest of Qifengling, Uncle Shen and my father are sworn brothers, old brothers from the former Loyalty Society. After the dissolution of the Loyalty Society, Uncle Shen led a hundred people to build a Zhaizi is the one with the largest number of escaped households.

The last time you were released from prison, my father contacted Uncle Shen. Later, you were released from prison safely, so it was useless to make this move.My father wants to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to entertain Uncle Shen for two days to express his gratitude, and also to introduce you. "

"it is good!"

Speaking of which, even if Uncle Yang owed Chen Chu a useless favor, expressing his gratitude was justified.

Seeing Chen Chu's promise, Yang Dalang smiled and said: "The Qipan Ridge is also a good place. There is a cave on the mountain, which is frozen all year round. Even in the hot summer, the cave is still full of ice and snow. The frozen icicles, ice bamboo shoots, and ice hangings are beautiful. Very. When we are free, I will take you to see and see.”

Hey, this ice cave is a good thing!

Chen Chu didn't know anything about geology, but he had heard of this strange cave that ignored the changing laws of the seasons.

When I was an undergraduate student, my roommate was from Xinzhou, Shanxi. He told me that there was a ten-thousand-year ice cave in his hometown that was several kilometers deep. The temperature in the cave was around minus ten degrees all year round.

Unexpectedly, there is such a magical place in Tongshan County.

Next to him, Yao Meili, who was sitting on the bullock cart, also said in a low voice: "Brother Chu, don't you want to learn martial arts? Brother Tiedan from Qipanling has good fists and feet, and he can use sticks, spears and halberds. Dalang and I You can't survive twenty moves under her hands. Then you can ask her for advice."

"What are you talking about!" Da Lang kicked Yao Meili, as if he was ashamed to admit the fact that he couldn't survive twenty moves under the hands of Brother Tie Dan.

Chen Chu became a little interested, "Brother Iron Egg? This name sounds tough! He can also play halberds and is a perfect match for me!"

Hearing the word 'perfect match', Yao Meili glanced at Chen Chu worriedly, and kindly reminded her, "Brother Chu, she was ugly."

But Chen Chu, who was not on the same channel at all, looked at Yao Meili with contempt, and said, "How can you be ugly as a brother? Just like you two black silk, can you be brothers with me just because of your looks?"

"Hey! Brother Chu, what do you mean? You say that the eldest son is ugly, but I don't deny it. I'm not ugly! On our mountain, I'm as handsome as you."

"Auyou, 'Between Bozhong'! God, Yang Dalang can speak idioms." Chen Chu's face was exaggerated and horrified.

"You two, don't talk nonsense about what Cui Yuan said, say I'm pretty good-looking," Yao Meili testified to herself, rolling her thick lips.

"Hahaha, you are looking for beauty in the eye of the beholder!"

"Brother Chu, how can you talk about the eldest son like that! He told Wang Ba to look at mung beans, and the more he looked at them, the more he saw them. Hahaha!"

"Hahaha"

"Ye is bastard, ye is mung bean"

It's time to enter the city.

The second hall of the county government.

In addition to Chen Chu's four sworn brothers, there were also a group of virtuous elders from the village sitting in the hall, which was similar to the lineup that pleaded for the Liu brothers back then.

The difference is that this group of people helped him last time.

This time, this group of people came to condemn him.
Naturally, it was because of Zhou Ba.

Such a battle also proved from the side that the various forces in Tongshan County recognized Chen Chu's status.

Otherwise, breaking someone's leg in broad daylight should be interrogated in a big prison, instead of being called in by a group of people to be criticized for a few days after the incident.

This kind of criticism has another meaning, which is: all the people present are from the same class, they are their own people, and if there is something wrong, we will solve it internally.

Therefore, when Chen Chu defended himself, he only limited himself to the conflict between himself and Zhou Ba robbing the labor force, so that people could not think that he was going to challenge the entire gentry class.

In short, after a burst of nonchalant criticism, everyone looked at Cai Yuan.

Wait for him to say a way to deal with it.

Everyone had the same thought. It was fine to say a few words for Zhou Ba, but when it comes to how to deal with this incident, you can't speak indiscriminately, so as not to offend the young and energetic second-hand Chen Dutou.

Only Cai Yuan is not afraid. After all, Chen Dutou is his half-son-in-law.

"Chen Dutou, you should pay for the Zhou's decoction. Don't be so reckless in the future!"

Cai Yuan squinted his eyes and said something to Chen Chu first, then turned his head to look at the many sages in the village, and then slowly said: "It is not easy for Tongshan County to have a stable situation today, and it all depends on everyone present. Don't let a little thing ruin this place. This is a hard-won good situation, and you all need to unite with sincerity.”

Cai Yuan blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, but the punishment for Chen Chu was only 'pay for soup and medicine, and don't be reckless in the future'.
Okay, it's still your son-in-law!
However, the Cai family was already powerful, and this time, Zhou Ba, the sufferer, was somewhat related to his family.In addition, Xu Bang and Ximen Gong, the leaders of the party, did not say anything, as if they agreed with Cai Lushi's handling opinions, who would not jump out and force them with long eyes.

Didn't you see, it was Zhou Ba who couldn't stop laughing at Chen Dutou, as if he was the one who caused the trouble.

After the meeting.

Chen Chu went to Cai Yuan's office.

"I met Uncle Cai."

Hearing that Chen Chu didn't call him 'big brother' or 'Cai Lushi', Cai Yuan, who was sitting behind the big case, looked pale, and said calmly, "Sit whatever you want."

However, Chen Chu took out a bag of money from his pocket and put it on the big case. Cai Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

"Uncle, this is half of the output I agreed upon when I rented Luliuwei. Last month, the cabbage was harvested and stored in the cellar. After the twelfth lunar month, it was almost Chinese New Year, so I sold a batch. This is a half profit."

Cai Yuan usually doesn't care about these trivial matters at all, and he doesn't even necessarily remember them.

A few days ago, Chen Chu sent the money to Cai Wei. Cai Wei was short of money at the moment, but after thinking about it, she asked Chen Chu to hand over the money directly to Cai Yuan.

Chen Chu understood what Cai Wei meant.

At the beginning, Cai Hua kept bragging about Chen Chu in front of her father, but now that Luliuwei has finally produced something, she wants her father to know that 'I saw the right person'.

There is another layer of meaning, she also wants to use this to ease the relationship between her father and Chen Chu.

Although what she said was indifferent, she still hoped that the matter between her and Chen Chu would be gradually accepted by the family.

Can be described as well-intentioned.

"Uncle, when I went to the city today, I brought a cart full of cabbage, and I just sent it home, let my aunt have a taste."

Chen Chu didn't want Cai Hua to be caught in the middle, so he assumed a junior attitude.

Cai Yuan's expression didn't change, he still said calmly: "This time, how many people are you going to recruit in your village?"

In fact, the first batch of [-] employees originally planned has already been recruited, but Chen Chu said: "We plan to recruit [-] people."

Cai Yuan pondered for a moment, and said: "I will inform them, and I will tell you that your new Zhuangzi is in need of manpower. If you recruit their tenants, don't make trouble and let them go to you."

Father-in-law, you are so loyal!As expected of a good brother!
If someone else said that, Chen Chu might not believe it.But Cai Yuan said so. His face is still worth some money in Tongshan County.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yuan went on to say: "After you have recruited 50 people, you must not recruit people in Tongshan County with such generous conditions!"

"." Chen Chu was silent.

"If you keep going on like this, who in Tongshan County is willing to be a tenant?" Cai Yuan gradually became serious, "You have to know that the rules you broke are not the rules of our county or place, but the rules of the world! If you go too far and attract the attention of the squires all over the world, let alone me, even today I will not be able to protect you!"

In the last sentence, Cai Yuan involuntarily lowered his tone.

After the fire in Caiwei Pavilion, Chen Chu knew that he was not compatible with Da Qi, so he couldn't help speeding up the pace of development.

Today's Luliuxu is a different kind in Tongshan County.

Why do you, Chen Chu, want to be different from other employers? Are you inviting people to rebel?
However, Cai Yuan proposed to meet Chen Chu's requirement of recruiting 50 people, so that he should stop in moderation.

'Don't ruin this hard-won stable situation because of a little thing, you still need to unite sincerely'

At this moment, thinking about what Cai Yuan said just now, it is really not empty talk.

This is to tell other squires not to cause trouble, if something big happens, our property in Tongshan County will be smashed.

noon.

Chen Chu, Da Lang, and the eldest son left the county seat and returned to Luliuxu.

On the way, Chen Chu thought for a long time.

Luliuwei is very small, but it can no longer be hidden.

If you want to attract tenants from nearby, maybe the real gentry will join forces.

After Ding Wei's disaster, the gentry class was greatly weakened, and Chen Chu was not able to contend at this time.

"Da Lang, how many people are still fleeing in this mountain?" Chen Chu asked suddenly.

"There are about five or six hundred people including women and children," Yang Dalang replied after thinking for a while.

Chen Chu was silent for a while, and then said: "Da Lang, can you invite all the family members from all the villages down the mountain to have a gathering during the Lantern Festival?"

"Ah? What do you want to do?" Yang Dalang was taken aback by Chen Chu's thought.

"Nothing, just get together, come to a hero meeting or something. You know, I like to make friends"

"Hero Conference?" It sounds very exciting!Yao Meili looked yearning.

Yang Dalang thought for a while and said, "Go back and ask my father."

"it is good."

late noon.

The three of them walked through the cross slope.

A carriage was parked by a distant pine forest.

Yang Dalang smiled meanly at Chen Chu, and drove the ox cart to the village.

Chen Chu rode forward, and Ru'er, who was standing by the car, bowed and said, "Mistress San is not feeling well, let me ask you to come over and have a look."

It's uncomfortable again.
Cai Wei has been unwell for three days in a row!After meeting, they did not delay their liveliness.

Chen Chu only knows a little about acupuncture and moxibustion, and although he is not a doctor, he can cure people from illnesses
These days, Luliuwei at night and Shuanghe Village during the day.

Day and night.
Chen Chu wondered if he should get some more beef kidney and pork loin to eat.

Hey, there are more and more responsibilities to be shouldered.
"Ru'er, lead the way."

Brave Niuniu, not afraid of difficulties!
