lady, please calm down

Chapter 216
Before leaving the city, Mao'er got the news in advance that there were more than [-] craftsmen coming with his uncle's family today.

The craftsmen are trembling when they arrive for the first time, but the sight of Qin Yongtai's family meeting the cat makes them feel at ease.

Qin Yongtai was born in a craftsman's family, with a niece of the wife of the governor as a support, the craftsmen felt that they had an extra layer of protection.

This kind of subtle psychology made the craftsmen who had just disembarked and formed a team on the shore look at this side, all showing aunt smiles.

On the pier full of people, the Zhao clan gathered on the other side, standing close to each other, it seemed that only the blood kinship in everyone could bring a little sense of security to each other.

The older ones looked at the healthy woman behind the cat and the soldiers lined up in the distance with knives and guns, and they were afraid to step forward.

The younger ones hid behind the grandma, only showing a pair of eyes, curiously looking at the beautiful sister in the beautiful clothes in the distance.

Grandma's hunched waist in the past, but now she tried her best to straighten her eyes, and her cloudy eyes never left the cat for a moment.

Over there, to appease the uncle's family, Chen Chu accompanied the cat to come forward.

Compared with her uncle's family, the strangeness between Mao'er and the Zhao family members is stronger. She only remembers seeing her grandma when she was young, and she doesn't have much memory of others.

Fortunately, the appearance of the old man has not changed much, and the cat can vaguely recognize it.

Grandma was obviously more excited when she saw the cat.

However, the great-grandmother knew that this great-grandchild girl in front of her had been away from home for many years, and she must be a little strange to herself and her clansmen, so she restrained her emotions and bowed tremblingly, "Ms. Zhao Tian, ​​a woman, has met An Ren."

"oops!"

Mao'er was not yet mentally ready to face these relatives, but the elders gave her a salute, which made her eagerly stepped forward to support the old man's arms, and blurted out the phrase 'Grandma': "Grandma, how can you salute me!"

With this title, the grandma took advantage of the opportunity to shake Mao'er's hand, and said guiltily with red eyes: "Good grandson, grandma is useless and can't keep our Zhao family's property. Now she comes here with all 63 members of the family and the remains of the ancestors." Good grandson and grandson-in-law."

There are 63 members of the whole family, and the remains of the ancestors. Maoer instantly felt that there was an extra responsibility on his shoulders, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry, we will never let our family suffer from hunger and cold."

"What a good grandson, if Jisheng and Kai De are still alive, I don't know how happy they will be to see such a promising grandson."

Grandma finally shed tears, and Mao'er also shed tears when she heard the names of grandpa and father.

He even subconsciously thought that in the future, he would make his uncle and the members of the Zhao clan live better, so as to make up for the regret that his parents could not enjoy the blessings with him.
In the distance, the group of boring officials and family members are still commenting.

The sharp-tongued Li Zhuanzhi's mother-in-law turned into a storyteller. From Zhao Anren's dilapidated natal family, she talked about all kinds of gossip about the Chen family's back house, "The third lady of the Cai family in Tongshan is nameless, but Chen Du raised her outside the city. You dare to be the master and sell the servants in the mansion. Mrs. Chen, tsk tsk tsk, a peasant girl is a peasant girl, with no knowledge and no means. If I were the master of his back house, I would definitely obey Cai San’s tidy up."

"Hehe, is it possible that Mrs. Li intends to be the mistress of the Chen family? You need to ask Li Zhuanzhi first if he agrees with you. Besides, although Madam Chen's family background is not high, but she was born like a fairy, you can't compare with her, haha. "

"Hahaha"

Immediately, a woman joked that most of the officials and women's family members still have some knowledge, and it is okay to let them listen to all kinds of gossip and eclectic jokes, but they will not be as outspoken as Li Niangzi.

Now that Chen Du is in charge of both military and political affairs in Caizhou, he is in full swing. If Mrs. Chen hears something nonsense, it will make her man feel uncomfortable.

Only an ignorant lady like Li dared to use Shangguan's family affairs as a topic of conversation to show that she was well-informed.

"Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man, so what if Mrs. Chen's life is good-looking? If you can't manage the house well, you can't have children"

Hearing that others were mocking her, Mrs. Li argued to herself.

Now, no one dared to answer the question, and all the women could only admire Mrs. Li for her boldness. Everyone said that Mrs. Tong could not give birth to children. You are amazing!We don't go crazy with you.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mrs. Li's smug expression just floated up, when she suddenly felt her arm was pulled by someone, she couldn't help turning her head, but saw her husband Li Zhuanzhi standing behind her with a bruised nose and a swollen face, with an angry face for some reason.

"Hey! Officer, what's wrong with you!"

'Clap~'

The answer to Mrs. Li was a clean slap.

"My surname is Li, why are you beating me!" Mrs. Li covered her face and looked at her husband in astonishment.

"Paralysis! I beat you so lightly!"

Li Zhuanzhi slapped Mrs. Li's face again, suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "If you have a good wife at home, you won't be in trouble. You're better off as a mother, and you'll kill me sooner or later by gossiping around all day long! "

At noon, Yang Dalang, Peng Er, Wu Kui and others were wearing armor and hanging swords, they were far away from the officials and officials, and the two sides were clearly separated.

Chen Chu stepped forward, looked at each other and smiled with them, there was a tacit understanding that everything was kept silent.

With them, there are also daughters-in-law of various families.

"Brother Chu, you are not here for a month, but our cats are exhausted. The spring plowing and sowing of Langshan fields and Caizhou Zhuangzi all depend on cats to watch over."

As soon as they met, Sister-in-law Wu, who was wearing a white and green embroidered silk shirt, took credit for Maoer.

When they were in Tongshan, Maoer took good care of the left-behind women.

Last year, due to the separation of the two places, many couples had minor problems, and it was Maoer who helped them with ideas and found ways to tie the hearts of their men.

Today's cats are the irreplaceable backbone of their hearts. Luckily they didn't listen to Li Zhuanzhi's gossip. Beat up Mrs. Li.
Without waiting for Chen Chu to reply, Second Aunt Peng also laughed and said, "Little Farewell is a newlywed, Brother Chu will give Maoer a good time tonight, hurry up and give us a big fat nephew."

"Hahaha, that's the reason."

The second sister-in-law of Peng spoke a dirty tune, which caused the other sisters-in-law to wink and laugh loudly, and they all agreed.

It's only natural for a sister-in-law to tease her brother.

But we can also get a glimpse of the current situation of everyone's wish for the Chen family's heirs from these jokes. Chen Chu has already become everyone's de facto leader.

The fact that the Chen family has no heir makes everyone feel uneasy.

"What nonsense." Brother Peng stretched out a finger and gently poked the waist of the second sister-in-law, but the second sister-in-law said nonchalantly: "Where did I say something wrong? If Aunt Yang saw Brother Chu, he would be more verbose than me. "

"Hahaha, birth, birth tonight"

Chen Chu also laughed, and Yang Dalang, who had been standing by the side smiling and silent, wanted to help Chen Chu, then turned his head and said, "Rong'er, this is the brother I told you about, hurry up and call Uncle."

Uncle Chen Chu looked back subconsciously, but the Tan mother and daughter were no longer on the bow.

With a casual smile, Chen Chu looked behind Da Lang, and saw a young lady standing timidly behind Da Lang, and after listening to the greeting, she bowed her head and took a step forward, whispering: "My family has seen Chen Du. System"

"Da Lang, what is this?" Chen Chu looked at Da Lang and smiled meaningfully.

"This is Rong'er, the young lady of the Nie family in the city, hehe, my unmarried lady"

"Fuck! Good boy, I haven't seen you for a month, and you have done something important without making a sound! How do you know each other?"

"Hey, I'll talk to you later when I get back."

"Haha, good, go to my house tonight, we brothers have a good meal, sisters-in-law and go together"

At noon, the mighty team returned to the city.

Dalang took the craftsmen to temporarily resettle in the school field in the south of the city, while Maoer took his uncle's family and members of the Zhao clan to settle in the city.

"My lord, sister-in-law Wu, second sister-in-law Peng, and sister-in-law Zhou have all moved to Caizhou. My sister helped them find the house."

On the carriage back to the city, Yunong leaned against Chen Chu, tightly holding the latter's thumb with his right hand.

She has this problem, when they are together, she likes to grab her thumb during the day, and hold Xiao Chen Chu at night.

The chatterbox chattered for a long time, but saw that Chen Chu had been looking out through the car window, as if he was looking for someone, and then the chatterbox stopped, slightly pursed his fleshy lips, and said jealously: "Young master, don't look for someone." Oh, Miss San didn't come today, she's in Zhenyang County."

"Oh? Where is she doing?" Chen Chu was not embarrassed to be exposed by Yu Nong, but asked with a frank smile.

"Sister Cai bought Nie's charcoal field in Zhenyang County, and is currently building roads."

"Build the road?"

"Uh, it seems that Nunu doesn't know about it. You should ask your sister tonight. She knows."

"Has Hua'er been in Zhenyang recently?"

"Well, Sister Cai has lived in the charcoal field for more than [-] days. A few days ago, Nunu and her sister went to visit her together."

"Oh"

Before Chen Chu went to Tokyo, he had indeed confessed to Cai Wei that he would continue to push forward the coal field and the hematite mine. He originally thought that this matter would have to wait until he came back to start again. No, he had already started.

Cai Wei really has a vigorous temperament
At dusk, Mao'er settled his uncle, grandma and others, and hurried back when he learned that the officials were entertaining his brothers at home tonight, without any time to talk.

After returning home, seeing Cui Yuan busy in Erjin Jian Cui Hall, preparing for the banquet tonight, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Cui Yuan's hand, and said angrily: "Silly girl, you are still busy here, go change your body quickly." Nice clothes."

"Ma'am, what are you doing changing clothes?" Cui Yuan asked in confusion.

"Tonight, when their brothers gather, they all bring their female relatives. You are the wife of Yao Yuhou, the eldest son of the pro-barracks Yao Yuhou, who has never passed the family. You are not a little maid who serves others."

"Big lady"

When Cui Yuan heard this, she became a little nervous.

Although it was a matter of time between her and her eldest son, it was the first time for her to attend a banquet as the eldest son's companion, which meant that she would sit at the same table with the eldest lady and sisters-in-law for dinner.

Although the female family members who escaped from households were not of high birth, they all married when their husbands were in their twilight years, and they deserved the word "share weal and woe".

As for the current eldest son, in terms of Cui Yuan's status, she is a little bit high.

She is afraid of others talking behind her back.

Mao'er seemed to have guessed what Cui Yuan was thinking, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Silly girl, don't be afraid! I'll back you up."

"Big lady"

Cui Yuan was extremely moved when she heard the words, she called out in a low voice, her eyes turned red.

"Go ahead and dress up nicely."

"Ah."

Cui Yuan wiped her eyes, looked at Mao'er gratefully, and then exited to see Cui Tang.

Chen Chu, who was sitting on the side, watched with relish watching his wife's invitation to buy people's hearts.
Mao'er looked around the hall layout, took the peach blossom branches picked by Bai Lu and put them in the vase with her own hands, then clapped her hands in satisfaction, and sat beside Chen Chu gracefully.

"Officer, since all the sisters-in-law are here tonight, Mao'er invites sister Liang's family to come too." Mao'er suddenly suggested.

"Sister Liangjia is that sister?" Chen Chu asked confusedly.

Maoer gave Chen Chu a flirtatious glance, then took out a portable booklet, turned to a certain page, pointed at the words on it with her slender index finger, and said softly: "The sister of the Liang family is the Liang family, the commander of the military guards Make Jiang Huaixiong's wife"

Chen Chu was attracted by the contents of the booklet at a glance, raised his hand to take it, and saw that it recorded the situation of Jiang Huaixiong's family, including Jiang's mother's birthday, Liang's birthday, and several children, etc.
After flipping through, the booklet not only contained the information of the Jiang family's family members, but also the family members of the other four of the five golden flowers, and most of the birthdays of Chen Chu and his subordinates were in the booklet.

Although these messages are inconspicuous, they are very useful to Mao'er's mind. Since she has written down Jiang's mother's birthday, the latter will definitely prepare a generous gift for her birthday.

In the eyes of others, Mao'er's heart naturally represented Chen Chu's deep love.

This kind of human interaction has low cost and high return. Even Chen Chu has never paid attention to these small details.

"My lady, it's really amazing." Chen Chu said sincerely.

"Are the officials praising me?" Mao'er raised her face proudly.

"um, yes."

"But this is what the cat doesn't want to hear."

"Which sentence do you want to hear?"

"Where do you ask people what they want to hear, the officials are not sincere"

"Then what does a husband want when a wife is like this?" How about this sentence?

"Hey, that's about the same."

In the evening banquet, men and women are divided into seats.

On the men's side, Da Lang, the eldest son, Da Baojian, Peng Er, Wu Kui, Zhou Liang, Liu Siliang, Daniu Erhu brothers, almost all the old team in Caizhou at this time.

It was also Chen Chu's core team member, so it goes without saying that the banquet was lively.

On the woman's side, under Mao'er's deliberate care, Liang Shi, who participated in this kind of family banquet for the first time, lost his restraint after a short while.

Most of the escaped women have a bit aggressive personality. Under the coaxing of Peng Ersao and Wu Sister-in-law, everyone drank alcohol.

The light-alcoholic Mao'er blushed after a few glasses of wine, and sister Yu Nong was eager to drink with her sisters-in-law as she rolled up her sleeves.

She always thought that she could drink well, but she didn't last for an hour, so she got drunk and lay down on the table.

After tidying up the ignorant little Yunong, the drunken sister-in-laws started the commonplace topic again. Cat, when will you have children!

In such a relaxed and heart-to-heart atmosphere, the Liang family, who experienced it for the first time, couldn't help but sigh: Zhao Anren is so close to the wives of each family, without the slightest airs, and the upright husband of my family is following Chen Dutong this time. Right!

The men outside were ordered to drink, and it was very lively; the women inside were talking and laughing in a low voice, laughing at Yan Yan.

The children of each family kept chasing each other inside and outside the hall, and ran to the dining table from time to time, and just found someone to call "Uncle, Uncle" to exchange for the dishes brought by several people at the same time. The children opened their mouths and picked one at random, swallowing it randomly , and then ran out to play again.
For a family banquet, all you need is an atmosphere.

The drunken cat, with hazy peach blossom eyes, looked enviously at the children running around in other houses, and rubbed his flat and firm belly in embarrassment.
It was late at night.

The guests of honour.

Even after drinking, Mao'er still managed to send him out of the mansion, and told Mao Dan to send Liang's mother and son back home.

In mid-spring night, the wind is harmonious.

The couple walked back to the back house hand in hand.

In the bedroom, the cat gave Bai Lu a wink, and the latter stepped forward and carried the tiger's head lying sprawled out on the big rosewood bed.

And closed the door smoothly.

The candles flickered, and the figures were in pairs.

good time
child time.

The cat snuggled into Chen Chu's arms, but held a piece of sesame cake in his hand, and brought it to his mouth like a little squirrel, chewing it with high frequency.

Mao'er is not greedy, but just now when Chen Chu said that he bought this snack for her in Tokyo, Mao'er couldn't help it. This sesame cake was her favorite food when she was young.

Now she doesn't lack anything, but it's this kind of thoughtful little gift that makes her very happy.

"Officer, Nie's family died of illness, leaving behind a widow with a daughter and a son. The second room and the third room coveted the property of the long house. When Sister Cai and I were looking for Guan Shi, the widow of the Nie family, she heard that we intend to buy her charcoal farm. , agreed without hesitation."

After the cat finished eating the sesame cake, he pulled Chen Chu's arm behind his head, and used the most comfortable position for the pillow, and then whispered.

"Now that 'Sister Cai' can be called smoothly, you two don't fight anymore?" Chen Chu smiled and stretched out his hand to grab a sesame seed left at the corner of Mao'er's mouth, and put it into his own mouth.

Seeing this, Mao'er casually took the handkerchief on the bedside to wipe her mouth, but suddenly remembered that the handkerchief had been wiped just now. She threw it down and wiped it casually with her hands, then said: "She is old He's older than me, anyway, sooner or later it's our family, so there's nothing wrong with making a scene for outsiders to laugh at."

"I'm a big cat"

Chen Chu chuckled, and said again: "That's how Da Lang got to know Miss Nie?"

"Well, speaking of it, I've never seen Da Lang care so much about a woman. When we met that day, he asked me to go to Nie's house to make peace."

"Oh?" Chen Chu couldn't help laughing, it's a pity that he didn't see how stupid Da Lang was when he fell in love.

Immediately, another thing came to mind, "By the way, Xu from the Xu family."

"Xu Zhen'er?"

"Yes, she didn't make trouble anymore, did she?"

"When I first heard that Da Lang and Nie Rong'er were engaged, they came to my place and cried a lot. Now the two families of Yang and Xu have settled the matter."

"Are you ready?"

"Well, after Dalang gets married, Xu Zhen'er will enter the Yang family as a concubine"

"I saw the young lady of the Nie family today. She is soft and weak, and she doesn't seem to be very old. But Xu Zhen'er is a thoughtful woman. I'm afraid his family will be lively in the future."

"I'm not very old, so I'll grow up. When I married an official, I wasn't too old, but I was never afraid of Sister Cai."

"Speaking of another family, why is it involving our family again?"

"Huh~" Mao'er was lightly annoyed, and turned her head to bite Chen Chu's shoulder without pain or itching as a sign of punishment, and then said leisurely: "Zhen'er can't blame others, I told her that it was good at the beginning. Marriage, but dislike Dalang's family background. Later Dalang gained power and rushed to Caizhou to give him his body casually
It's strange that Dalang respects such behavior.She doesn't want to stay poor with Da Lang, so how can Da Lang be willing to give her wealth. "

"It's better to be my cat. I didn't dislike me as a little beggar back then."

"It's really disgusting, the cat back then was also a little beggar"

"Hey, after eating the sesame cake, my lady has strength again?"

"..., what are the officials going to do?"

"Ok!"

"No! I mean."

"Say what you say, we'll talk about it later."

The next day.

Spring sleeps late.

After the cat got up, it was time to groom.

It took a few days to settle so many relatives. Before going out, the cat scratched its nest and pinched its nose, finally waking Chen Chu up.

"Officer, wake up, if you have nothing to do today, don't forget to go to Zhenyang County to visit Sister Cai."

"Hey. I haven't seen you for a month. Are you two so close?" Chen Chu rubbed his sleepy eyes and wondered.

For some reason, Mao'er suddenly remembered the night when she was on duty in the official office this winter, she couldn't help but blushed, but said: "Do you think sister Cai doesn't know that you came back yesterday? She didn't come to pick you up on purpose, she just waited for you Going to see her, the charcoal field is very hard, she is proud in her bones, she has done a lot of things but she doesn't want to take credit, but she also wants you to see the fruits of her labor with your own eyes."

Mao'er analyzed Cai Wei's motivations in a clear and logical way, and finally added: "If you don't go, you will definitely make her angry. If you go, she might just say, 'You little dog still has a conscience' , but my heart is sure to rejoice."

"When did the cat know her so well?"

"She is a woman, and the cat is also a woman. Naturally, I know better than the officials what she thinks. Also, yesterday you bought sesame cakes for me, and I split some, and the officials also brought them. I said they came from Tokyo. The city bought it for her."

"Uh"

On the same day, Chen Chuxian went to the left-behind official office to deal with a few backlogs of pressing matters, and at noon he took his soldiers to Zhenyang County.

At dusk, arrive at Zhenyang Jiamaling Charcoal Field.

Cai Wei, who had received the news in advance, stood facing the setting sun outside the gate of the charcoal field.

In the environment of the charcoal field, black ash is scattered and dust is flying.

There was a layer of dust on the flirtatious face, which made the fair and tender face a lot darker.

With her hands behind her back, Cai Wei raised her head to look at the increasingly mighty young man on horseback, then raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "You little dog still has a conscience."

"."

The first sentence they met was exactly the same as the cat's guess.
