lady, please calm down

Chapter 333
On August 22, a morning shower brought a moment of coolness to the city of Tokyo and put an end to the hustle and bustle of the past few days.

In the ten-mile pavilion beside the Bianhe River in the west of Wanshengmen, Chen Chu, Zhe Yanwen and others reluctantly said goodbye.

The funeral of the late emperor has been completed, and diplomatic missions from various countries and officials from various places who came to express their condolences have left Beijing.

Naturally, the general's children have to go back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers. However, Tong Qi's father, Baoan Prefecture Jiedushi Tong Wei, sent Chen Chu a respectful handwritten letter the day before yesterday.

In addition to thanking Chen Chu for protecting the Tong family's face, the letter also mentioned a request for Chen Chu to find a job for Tong Qi.

With the power of the Tong family, they still have the ability to arrange a good future for their legitimate son. The reason why Tong Wei spoke to Chen Chu was just to express the Tong family's intention to move closer to the King of Chu.

But Chen Chu really had a headache.
In the Huaibei Army, the factions are relatively simple and are only divided into the veteran faction and the establishment faction.

The veteran faction is naturally the old Tongshan brothers who started out in Caomang with Chen Chu, while the establishment faction is the officers and soldiers such as Jiang Huaixiong and Jiang Shuquan.

The elders are conservatives and the establishment are radicals. The only difference between the two sides is that the conservatives think the radicals are not radical enough.
In short, the Huaibei Army's military system is very simple. Not only is it not affected by other forces, even Chen Chu's four sworn brothers do not have much influence in the army.

This was due to Cai Hua's repeated reminders in the early days of the founding of the army. Not only did her pillow wind blow away the possibility of several other people getting involved in the army, but her cousin Cai Si was also transferred from the army system by Chen Chu under her persuasion. to the administrative system.

Based on this alone, Cai Hua is not only devoted to Chen Chu, but also even a little cold to her mother's family.

Tong Qi's arrangement to join the Huaibei Army was not appropriate, but the Tong family's overtures could not be ignored, so Chen Chu thought of a way to ask Liu Baishun, deputy commander of the Wuwei Army, and Tong Qi to reorganize the Forbidden Army.
Seeing this, Jing Peng, who was the first to express his intention to get close to the King of Chu, was not willing to be left behind and also proposed the idea of ​​​​serving the King of Chu.

Chen Chu simply used Jiang Huaixiong to go to the capital, and with the latter as chief and Jing Peng as deputy, he reorganized the ten armies of the capital.
Therefore, both of them will stay when they leave Beijing this time.

"King Chu, please stay."

"That's fine. I have to say goodbye after a long journey. Have a safe journey, everyone."

"The green mountains will not change, but the green waters will always flow! Brother Chen, take care."

"Take care! If you have free time, you can come to Huaibei for a visit. Chen will be waiting for you!"

"It will definitely bother you."

Warriors are less pretentious. After leaving again, Zhe Yanwen, Kuang Siliang and others led their guards to ride westward.
Chen Chu looked at the retreating figure and suddenly felt a little tired.

After entering Beijing, one thing after another happened one after another, leaving no chance to breathe.

Now, what should be co-opted has been co-opted, what should be suppressed has been suppressed, what should be fooled has been temporarily fooled, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Chu and his entourage turned their horses around and returned to the city.

Entering the city at the beginning of noon, Tong Qi and Jing Peng were full of enthusiasm for their new jobs. They separated from Chen Chu one after another and went about their own errands.

On the way to Prince Chu's Mansion on Suimian Street, Chen Chu suddenly thought of something and decided to go to Shangshu Mansion on Yulin Lane.

Now, Cai Yuan has bought a four-in house in the alley next to Jingmingfang and has moved there.

Chen Jingan went out to do errands, so the whole house seemed much deserted.

Chen Chushu came to a secluded courtyard in the fourth back house by a familiar route. Before entering the courtyard, he coughed unnaturally and said to Erlang and Xiao Yi, who had just assumed the post of personal soldiers: "You two are waiting here. No one is allowed in, remember?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi responded with a decent clasp of fists.

Erlang smiled mischievously, glanced into the courtyard, and said with an "I know it all" look: "Brother Chen, don't worry! Xiao Yi and I won't let a single mosquito in!"

Chen Chu couldn't help but laugh, and raised his hand to give this kid a headache, "You're the only one who talks a lot!"

Two months ago, Erlang and four others captured Dan Ninggui, which was a great achievement, but they also shocked Chen Chu.

At the same time, Mao Dan was getting older and it was time for him to go out as an officer like Bao Xi. Chen Chu transferred Erlang and Xiao Yi to his side, so that they would be relatively safe and could learn some experience in leading troops in war.

After Chen Chu was admitted to the hospital, the two of them found a shady place to sit. Erlang suddenly said: "Xiao Yi, has Brother Chen given us another sister-in-law?"

"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines." Xiao Yi first confirmed Brother Chen's cheating behavior. Anyway, in their eyes, everything Brother Chen did was right.

Then, he accidentally revealed his true thoughts, "But in my heart, the only sister-in-law is Sister Mao'er!"

As a descendant of Qi Fengling, Xiao Yi's parents both died young and he only has one relative in the world, the old man.

The first winter coat and first pair of cotton shoes he got were both made by Mao'er.

Therefore, in Xiao Yi's heart, Mao'er is not only Brother Chen's wife, but also his sister and mother.

Erlang agreed with this point, but he asked again: "Then Mr. Chen is not your sister-in-law in your heart?"

"Of course it is!" Xiao Yi quickly corrected his previous statement and added: "In my heart, my sister-in-law is just Sister Mao'er and Mr. Chen."

Mr. Chen is naturally Yunong, their first teacher. He is the nicest, has the best temper, and loves to bring them snacks.

So Erlang asked again: "What about Mrs. Cai Sanniang? Isn't she sister-in-law?"

This time, Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "It counts. In my heart, there are only three sisters-in-law, Sister Mao'er, Mr. Chen, and Madam Cai."

"Hahaha"

Erlang couldn't help but became happy, and then said: "Don't worry about it anymore. Brother Chen has a vicious eye when looking for women, which is much better than my confused brother!"

Although Cai Sanniang didn't have much contact with these young people, her elder brothers and uncles in the family said when they were drinking in private that although Cai Sanniang had a vicious reputation, she was the one who did the most. It was Sanniang who was the key to Brother Chen's rise to power. The final word is final.

As for what "starting a war" means, the brothers are unclear.

In that room, Chen Chu climbed to the second floor, and Ayu was sorting out the pile of papers in the bedroom.

These are the information on the fields of Kaifeng Mansion. Chen Chu needs to know the production materials well in order to prescribe the right medicine.

On the side, Zhuan Yun, who was Ayu's deputy, saw Chen Chu arriving. He glanced at Ayu, who was pretending to be cold, and walked out with a smile, and closed the door.

"How can uncle be willing to come to Ayu's place? Aren't you going to accompany your brothers?"

As soon as Ayu opened her mouth, she was slightly jealous.

After arriving in Tokyo, the two had fun every night, staying together all the time, and enjoying the happiness. Later, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Chen Chu moved the gang to the Prince of Chu's Mansion on Suimian Street.
So far, we haven’t been close to each other for half a month.

Chen Chu chuckled and said, "They have just left Beijing."

Ayu's heart trembled for no reason. They were gone, which meant that the two of them could stay together and fly together like before?
But the beautiful face remained calm, her eyes continued to look at the book, and she pretended to say "oh" casually while writing.

Chen Chu couldn't help laughing when he saw the pure aroma of Ayu's tea. He bent down and picked him up, "Oh what? Bring it to you."

At the same time, a carriage entered the city from the Suzaku Gate in the south of Tokyo and entered the broad imperial street.

On one side of the carriage, sat a tall woman dressed in smart attire, and on the other side, a woman dressed as a maid.

The maid looked around curiously, then turned to the carriage and called: "Sister, we're here!"

There was a rustle in the carriage, and through the gauze curtain, I could vaguely see a woman in red, stretching out as if she had just woken up. Even through the gauze curtain, I could see the turbulent mountains.
Two breaths later, a charming and charming face poked out of the car window. He squinted his eyes and looked at it, and said to himself: "What a beautiful Tokyo, it really deserves its reputation."

A quarter of noon.

In Qiyun Lane, Jingmingfang, the old servant of the Cai family in the concierge was overjoyed when he saw his third wife suddenly appearing outside the house.

Today's Sanniang is the pride of the entire Cai family. The old servant was so excited that he wanted to inform the master that your favorite daughter came to see you from your hometown!

But Cai Hua stopped the old servant and went to the inner house on her own.

Under the pomegranate tree in the back house, Cai Yuan, who had nothing to do today, was only wearing an undershirt, holding a book, lying on a recliner, feeling indescribably comfortable.

Next to him, there was a plump woman about 30 years old, feeding Lao Cai Yuan grapes one by one. Occasionally, juice would spill out of the corner of her mouth, and the woman would gently wipe it with a handkerchief to Cai Yuan.

When Cai Hua came in, this was what she saw.
A good daughter fell from the sky. Cai Yuan was happy at first. He stood up without even bothering to put on his shoes. He rubbed his presbyopic eyes and said in disbelief: "Hua'er? Is it really me Hua'er?" But the woman next to him was nervous. stood up.

Cai Hua was so smart that she could tell what was going on at a glance, but he saw her walking unhurriedly to sit on the stone bench opposite her father, looking at the woman with her charming eyes.

Cai Yuan, who had gone through countless storms, was worried for a while, but then he came to his senses.

I am your father!I have worked hard for my family all my life, so what happened to enjoying it!
Then play music and dance!
Thinking of this, Cai Yuan put away the hopeless look he had when he first met his daughter, changed his majestic look and slowly sat back down. At the same time, he pressed his hand down, motioning for the woman to sit down too, and then said: "Hua'er , this is Aunt Zhou, come and see me."

She said so, but Aunt Zhou didn't know if she had heard of the reputation of the third wife of the Cai family as ruthless and ruthless, so she was obviously a little afraid and hesitated to sit down.

Cai Hua did not call the woman who was a few years older than her aunt. Instead, she looked at her father, shook her head angrily and sighed: "Hey, mother is still worried about whether you have enough to eat and whether you are warmly dressed at home. Who would have thought that the old man would also learn to hide his beauty in a golden house."

"Cough cough~"

Cai Yuan coughed to cover up his embarrassment and explained: "My father originally planned to tell your mother about this in the next few days. Hey, Hua'er also knows that as dad is getting older, he needs someone to take care of him."

"Hehe, what dad said makes sense. It's all because the servants we raised are stupid. Last month, my mother asked Yinsuo and Yukou to come to Beijing to take care of dad, but dad refused. It seems that those two stupid people This girl is indeed not as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as Mrs. Zhou."

Cai Yuan was exposed by his daughter on the spot. Looking at Aunt Zhou in embarrassment, the old man also became a little angry and couldn't help but said: "When you come to Tokyo, why did you come to my place if you don't go back to your own home first?"

Cai Hua's own home naturally refers to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, which is two streets away.

"Oh, Daddy, what you said is true. The married daughter has thrown away the water. This Cai family is no longer my home? In a few years, Daddy's old tree will bloom, and I will give birth to another girl with Lady Zhou. I'm afraid it will be... You don’t even recognize my daughter!”

Can't say it!It can’t be said at all!
Actually, with Cai Yuan's current status, finding an aunt to take care of his daily life when he is alone in Beijing is nothing.

However, Cai Hua caught him for failing to inform his wife of the matter in advance, which made him angry again and again.

Cai Yuan was angry and anxious. Just when he had nothing to do with his daughter, he suddenly thought of a plan to divert disaster to the east.
However, I saw that the anger on Lao Cai's face had completely dissipated, and he could only hear him say calmly: "Hua'er, your mother and I have to argue about whether my father is right or wrong, but I don't have the reason for you to reprimand your elders. If you are free, If you have nothing to do, why not take more care of your husband?"

"!"

The incident between Chen Chu and Ayu in Tokyo was naturally reported back to Caizhou through Bailu. After Caihua came to Beijing, she came directly to see her father. She originally wanted to discuss how much the Chen family could help Chen Chu.

Unexpectedly, she saw the scene of her father hiding her beauty in the golden house, which made her no longer in the mood to talk about business, and took the opportunity to vent some of her emotions on her father.

But now Lao Cai doesn't talk about martial arts and directly attacks Cai Hua with his daughter and son-in-law's itchy areas, which makes Xiao Cai almost break her defense!
After saying a few words, Cai Hua suddenly stood up. Before leaving, she said to Aunt Zhou: "For the sake of taking care of my father, I will call you aunt! From now on, if you have no objections, I promise Your mother's family will be rich and prosperous all your life! If you dare not stand up to my father, I will kill your whole family!"

The murderous warning made Aunt Zhou's face turn pale with fright.

But Cai Hua was so domineering that Cai Yuan couldn't stand it anymore. He patted the armrest of the recliner and said, "How presumptuous! No matter how big or small! I am your father, you become the princess, and I am also your father!"

Cai Hua curled her lips and turned to leave. But as soon as she reached the hanging flower door, she stopped and looked back, saying, "Humph! The world is as black as crows!"

"You! You bastard, bastard!"

Lao Cai beat his chest angrily. If he guessed correctly, the crows in the world his daughter mentioned were referring to his husband-in-law, Lao Cai and Chen Chu.

Entering the back house of Shangshu Mansion, cicadas were chirping noisily at noon.

Erlang, who was sitting drowsily in the shade of a tree outside the courtyard, was still in a daze when he saw a figure in red floating towards her. Why does this woman look so familiar?
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, why do these two people look so much like Mrs. Cai and Coach Shen!"

"It's not the same, it's the same!"

Xiao Yi rubbed his eyes and stood up.

Cai Hua, who had a gentle smile on her face, had already walked in front of the two of them.
'When did Cai Sanniang come to Tokyo? 'This is the doubt that arose in the hearts of Xiaoyi and Erlang at the same time.

But before the two of them could think about it, Cai Hua smiled and bowed to them.
"Ah, how can my sister-in-law salute us!" Erlang hurriedly returned the salute.

Hearing the address of sister-in-law, Cai Hua's smile grew wider, but she heard her say: "How come these two young heroes cannot be treated as sisters-in-law? Now, the news that you captured Dan Ninggui alive has spread in Caizhou!"

What young people look forward to most is to show up in front of their elders in their hometown and become famous all over the world.

After hearing what Cai Hua said, the two of them felt that their bones were a few ounces lighter, and they just touched their heads and giggled.

Cai Hua secretly glanced at the second floor of the courtyard where the doors and windows were closed, smiled, pulled out two golden hairpins from her head, and put them into the hands of Erlang and Xiao Yi respectively.

When the two of them were still in a daze, Cai Hua suppressed her smile, sighed quietly, and said: "I have a grudge against that Shan Ninggui. This time you have avenged my sister-in-law. These two hairpins should be regarded as my sister-in-law's." Mind."

"How can that happen? This is all our responsibility." Xiao Yi quickly declined.

Cai Hua frowned and said angrily: "Why are you being polite to my sister-in-law? You don't know how many ladies in my hometown are waiting to see you. When you return to Caizhou, if you meet the lady you like, you can give her the hairpin. Don't refuse, hurry up. Take it!"

From the moment Cai Hua spoke her first words, Erlang and Xiao Yi felt that their brains were running out, and they couldn't react much except giggling all the time.

We have become heroes. Are there really many girls in our hometown who look up to us?
At this time, all they had in their minds was the imagination of returning home in fine clothes.
"Okay, take it, sister-in-law will go in first."

"Oh, thank you, sister-in-law."

Cai Hua and Tie Dan were admitted to the hospital one after another. Tie Dan quietly extended his thumb to Cai Hua from an angle that Erlang and Xiao Yi couldn't see, with a look of admiration on his face.

Erlang and Xiaoyi had already sat back under the shade of the tree, looking at the hairpins, each with a silly smile.
"Xiao Yi, sister-in-law, who do you want to give this hairpin to?"

"I haven't thought about it, how about you?"

"I want to give it to Jiang Qian."

"Jiang Qian? The second daughter of Jiang Dutong's family?"

"Ok!"

"Oh! That woman is very evil, and she knows how to use fists and kicks!"

"Hey, you know what you know! I just like girls who are energetic, hahaha."

"Hahaha"

"Little B?"

"Ok?"

"Why do I feel like I've forgotten something important?"

"I kind of feel that way too."

In the courtyard, there was iron gall, and the Zhuan Yun who released the wind had no time to send out a warning signal.
Cai Hua went up to the second floor with gentle steps. Through the door, Ayu's melodious voice could be heard clearly.

Catch the thief and the stolen goods, catch the traitor and catch the couple.
Now, I can't run away.

I pushed the door lightly, and it was bolted inside.

Cai Hua moved to the window and pushed it gently. The window slowly opened.
Inside, on the big rosewood bed, Ayu, who was galloping happily in a "a" style, felt a breeze blowing into the room, and subconsciously looked at the window. She was immediately frightened out of her wits.

The next moment, like a frightened ostrich, he screamed and hurriedly fell on Chen Chu, pulling the quilt randomly to cover himself.

At first, Chen Chu was confused and asked innocently, "What's wrong?"

Ayu was shaking all over, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and crawl in, so she naturally didn't care to respond to Chen Chu.

Finally, Chen Chu, who was feeling something, looked up in an awkward posture, and saw Cai Hua, dressed in red, resting her chin on the window sill with her hands, smiling faintly, and lightly opening her mouth, "Why did you stop? Continue. ah"

"."

Chen Chu, who was also shocked, calmed down after a few breaths. He casually grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on Ayu's back. He said seriously: "Hua'er, why are you here? You miss me so much." Ayu wants to learn to ride a horse, I'll help her get used to it first."
