Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 166 Chen Mo: Why are you clinging to me?
Yi Shiyan didn't know about Han Aniang's ambiguous relationship with her husband, so he followed Chen Mo in calling Han Aniang sister-in-law.

As he spoke, he took out a bracelet from his arms and gave it to Han Anniang.

Yi Shiyan, who has been in a boudoir for a long time and has rarely been out of the house, naturally does not understand the ways of the world. Xiao Ling taught her this as a greeting gift to her elders.

This bracelet is carved from top-quality jade. It is good for people to wear it for a long time, and it is not ordinary.

Han Aniang declined a few times and then accepted, becoming even more fond of Yi Shiyan.

Everyone in the village knew about Chen Mo's concubinage, so Han Aniang naturally talked about it when she was hanging out with the women in the village. Liu, who had the best relationship with Han Aniang, was Zhang He's daughter-in-law. All young ladies with a mouth like this have a young temper and are difficult to get along with.

But now that she saw her, Han Anniang didn't think so.

"She is Song Min, Xiaolu, just call her Min'er." Chen Mo said.

"Hello Min'er, I'm Yi Shiyan, just call me Xiaolu." After saying that, Yi Shiyan took out another pair of earrings and gave them to Song Min.

Yi Shiyan still found out who was in Chen Mo's family.

"Thank you...Sister Xiaolu." When we met for the first time, the little girl seemed a little raw.

But it didn't take long for me to fall in love with this sister who was just like an elf.

Han Aniang and Yi Shiyan cooked lunch together, with Song Min taking care of it.

Seeing that Yi Shiyan was not the kind of rich lady who had no fingers in the spring water, Han Aniang fell in love with her even more.

Han Aniang was really good for Chen Mo, so she also had requirements for the woman who married Chen Mo.

As a country girl, she also has very traditional ideas, so in her eyes, a good woman should be family-oriented, know how to cook, serve her husband, be considerate, careful, and not be frivolous.

When they met for the first time, Yi Shiyan agreed.

Taking advantage of Chen Mo's absence, Han Anniang returned to the room and took out two silver bracelets from the closet.

A silver bracelet was given to her by her mother-in-law, Chen Mo's mother, when she got married.

There was another one given to her by her mother-in-law before she died, saying that she would give it to Chen Mo's wife when he got married.

Han Anniang had always kept these two bracelets well, and never sold them even in the most difficult times.

Han Aniang recognized Yi Shiyan in her heart, so she wanted to give her the silver bracelet.

But when he was about to walk out the door, he put the silver bracelet away again.

"Xiaolu is just my uncle's concubine. If I give this bracelet to Xiaolu now, what will happen if my uncle gets a wife in the future? My mother-in-law asked me to give the bracelet to my uncle's wife."

At this time, Han Aniang was thinking about it. After much hesitation, Han Aniang put the bracelet back in the closet.

lunch.

A plate of pickles, a bowl of roe deer meat, a bowl of boiled tofu, and a bowl of wild vegetables.

The four people sat down around the square table. Han Aniang and Yi Shiyan sat on the left and right sides of Chen Mo, and Song Min sat opposite Chen Mo.

When Yi Shiyan was cooking before, she was confused as to why so much meat was needed, but when she saw her husband holding the pot of roe deer meat and eating it, she finally understood and was a little dumbfounded at the same time.

Does your husband have such a big appetite?

No wonder that during breakfast, my husband frowned at the food brought by Xiao Ling.

It seems that I will have to ask Xiao Ling to do more in the future.

Yi Shiyan is worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family. She has been pampered since she was a child. She has smooth skin, an oval face, lively eyes, and flushed cheeks. She exudes a youthful and lively atmosphere, her skin is as bright as snow, and her features are picturesque.

Although Han Anniang's skin had become much whiter after being nourished by Chen Mo, she still dressed more like a country girl. When they sat together to compare, the two of them decided.

There is no need to mention Song Min. His body and bones have just been healed and he looks a little fresh.

This is an innate advantage. Even if a person is born beautiful, if he is born in a poor family and does not take good care of himself, he will become a yellow-faced woman in a few years.

Wealth can make a woman's flowering period longer.

Chen Mo eats about five kilograms of meat with every meal. At this time, he has given up the desire to talk and talk purely for cultivation.

In front of his family, Chen Mo was very relaxed, and within a short time, his face was full of oil.

"Uncle, eat slower."

"Husband, don't choke."

Han Aniang and Yi Shiyan said almost at the same time, and stood up and took out a handkerchief to wipe Chen Mo's mouth almost at the same time. Then the two women looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.

Song Min took small bites of her rice, and her eyes flashed when she saw this scene.

When Han Aniang realized her identity, she quickly pulled her hand back. After sitting down, her face turned red. She looked at the scene of Yi Shiyan wiping her uncle's mouth and thought of the past.

That was what she was supposed to do.

Although she recognized Yi Shiyan, Han Aniang still felt a little bored at the moment.

After lunch, Chen Mo took Yi Shiyan for a stroll in the village.

Women in the city who had never been out much were curious about everything in the mountains and would chase butterflies and dragonflies whenever they saw them.

When they came to the village, Chen Mo took her to see the lime factory and the gunpowder factory.
Yi Shiyan was not interested in any of this. The reason why he was still very interested was because the workers in the factory said "Madam" to each other, which made Yi Shiyan particularly happy.

It's a pity that I don't have any copper coins or broken silver with me. Otherwise, all of them would be rewarded to those who call me madam.

When she came to the river, Yi Shiyan took off her shoes, lifted up her skirt, got into the river and played in the water. She forgot about the pain in her body and showed a bright smile.Seeing Chen Mo refusing to come down from the shore, Yi Shiyan would hold a spoonful of water and pour it towards Chen Mo.

Yi Shiyan seemed tireless, and Chen Mo took her to play in the village all afternoon.

When I returned to the cottage in the evening, I didn't sit down and rest for a while.

"Wow, fireflies!"

"Little deer, slow down, don't fall."

"Husband, look, look!"

The little deer ran into the forest, then came to Chen Mo with his hands covered, revealing a small crack, and flickering fluorescence could be seen inside.

"So beautiful." The deer's smile hasn't stopped since noon.

Chen Mo seemed to have found the joy of childhood in her. He bent down slightly and asked with a smile: "Would you like me to make you a lantern out of fireflies?"

"No." Xiaolu shook his head and said: "Husband, I have read in a book that fireflies generally only have a life span of three to fifteen days. Although they are beautiful, they will fade away after more than ten nights of dancing. End of life."

The deer opened his hand and let the fireflies fly away: "They should be allowed to live a brilliant life."

Chen Mo was stunned, looking at the dots of fluorescence in the mountains and forests, and looking down the mountain. From here, he could see Pingting County in the distance, and his eyes became softer unconsciously.

There are thousands of lights.

"Uncle, Xiaolu, it's time to eat." Han Anniang called from a distance.

"Sister-in-law, here we come."

"Husband, let's go back." Yi Shiyan replied sweetly, then took Chen Mo's hand and went home.

Enter the house.

The small house was filled with firelight.

Song Min came up with bowls and chopsticks, and Han Anniang brought a basin of warm water for them to wash their hands.

Such a heartwarming scene made the smile on Chen Mo's face grow a lot.

A person always has several people to protect with his life.

After dinner, Yi Shiyan stayed overnight in the cottage.

After washing up, Yi Shiyan hugged Chen Mo on the bed and said softly: "Husband, it's so much fun outside the city, I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Then stay in the cottage for two more days." Chen Mo kissed Yi Shiyan's forehead.

Xiaolu has a lively and outgoing personality. He used to stay in the boudoir and restrained his nature. Now he is liberated and shows his true self.

"Okay." Yi Shiyan pressed into Chen Mo's arms, then raised her head and looked at Chen Mo with a blushing face: "Husband, I've thought about it..."

Chen Mo: "..."

Next room.

Han Aniang was wearing a close-fitting dress with a thin blanket on her lower abdomen. From the time she lay down until now, she had been tossing and turning, unable to sleep. When she closed her eyes, all she could think about was her uncle's handsome face and his majestic and powerful body.
Just when Han Anniang was about to open the window to let in the wind, a faint sound of the game drifted in from the window sill along with the night wind and reached her ears.

Han Aniang was stunned at first. After listening for a moment, she suddenly let out a soft cry and a blush quickly climbed up her cheeks.

Shouting so loudly?
Thinking about Yi Shiyan's petite body, this is...

……

three days later.

Chen Mo finally realized what it means to be clingy.

The little deer was like a pendant, wishing to hang on Chen Mo's body all the time. Even when he was dealing with yamen affairs during the day, the little deer was tired of being next to him.

Of course, Xiaolu was also sensible and never disturbed Chen Mo when he was dealing with affairs. He just sat next to him, leaning on the table, dragging his cheeks and looking at Chen Mo with eyes full of admiration.

She didn't do anything. She felt that just looking at Chen Mo was enough.

When people below come to see Chen Mo, she will consciously step back. After they leave, she will come up again. She focuses on being clingy but not annoying.

With Xiaolu around, Chen Mo didn't have any other energy to find the Xia sisters.

Geng Songfu is really a capable man. In the past few days, he helped Chen Mo find a shortcoming in the army.

The ancients said that the key to winning with troops lies in selecting soldiers.The bravery of soldiers lies in strict military discipline, the combat skills of soldiers lie in proper command, the combat strength of soldiers lies in the trustworthiness of generals, and the moral character of soldiers lies in teaching.

Sufficient military supplies result from quick battles, while the damage to the army comes from excessive fighting.

Among them, Chen Mo did well in selecting soldiers, strict military discipline, combat skills, generals' credibility, and soldiers' moral character.

But one thing that is lacking is the knowledge of generals and the knowledge of military management.

Take Zhang He, Han Wu, or even the warriors Lu Yuan, Su Wen and others, who has ever led troops in battle?Once the top command is lost, it will be immediately blinded.

Therefore, according to Geng Songfu's idea, a military training class was set up to teach these military management the knowledge of combat, the theoretical knowledge of commanding troops, and how to use terrain to fight.

This is still a flaw and cannot be delayed.
