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

Chapter 220 Chen Mo: Whenever I see your sister, I think of you

Qingzhou, Pingting County Yamen, in the backyard wing.

The howling cold wind in the winter night blew up the lanterns under the eaves of the corridor, casting a circle of dim light and shadow.

There was a lamp like a bean in the wing, and the two sisters sat facing each other. There was a wooden basin between them, filled with hot water, and their four snow-white and delicate feet were close together.

Under Xia Zhiqing's furrowed brows, her starry eyes flashed, and her beautiful face was slightly flushed. She didn't care about the teasing of her sister's snow-white feet, and kept thinking about the words on the note in her heart.

"When will you give me a gift?"

Xia Zhiqing felt extremely shy. How could anyone ask for gifts from others like this?

Even so, what she thought about most was what kind of gift to give Chen Mo.

What she had in her hands were all belongings belonging to women, which were obviously not suitable for giving to men.

The only suitable one was the jade flute in her hand, but this jade flute meant a lot to her, and she didn't seem to have this sentiment in that person.

Giving him a jade flute is like playing the harp to an ox.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xia Zhining stepped on her sister's foot and asked knowingly.

"??"

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhiqing's reaction was a little slow.

"I see that you have been out of sorts since noon. Are you feeling unwell?" Xia Zhining asked with concern.

"Yes, I have some migraines." Xia Zhiqing said smoothly.

Seeing that her sister was already proficient in lying, Xia Zhining felt inexplicable for a moment. It seemed that the two sisters were going to be played by that bastard after all.

If that bastard saw his sister like this, he would definitely be very proud.

I don’t know what that bastard is doing now?

……

In the cottage.

In the master bedroom of the Chen family.

Thousands of piles of snow were rolled up by the roaring waves.

"Little deer, don't look at it. Don't look at it." Han Anniang turned her face as beautiful as the clouds, her eyes filled with mist as she looked at Yi Shiyan.

Although Han Aniang was familiar with her once and twice, these days, Han Aniang was basically with Yi Shiyan, but she was still a little embarrassed to be stared at closely by the latter's innocent and smart big eyes.

Yi Shiyan glanced around and saw the more spectacular scenery, especially when she saw that her husband loved traveling so much. She felt a little bit disgusted. She subconsciously puffed up her chest, compared it, and let out a long sigh.

There's no comparison, there's no comparison at all.

After all, Han Aniang's combat power was low and her physical strength was low. She was defeated and was replaced by Yi Shiyan, who continued to fight.

Chen Mo gently hugged Xiaolu, leaned close to the crystal yellow earrings, and whispered softly: "I have been back for so long and I haven't gone to see my father-in-law yet. I will pick a time tomorrow and Xiaolu will accompany me."

Yi Shiyan: ".En."

All with a final sound.

Han Anniang paused for a moment and looked at the two people hugging each other, with ripples in her heart. There was a hint of annoyance between her gentle brows and eyes, and she said, "Xiaolu, we can no longer spoil our uncle."

Yi Shiyan had no time to respond to Han Aniang, she was already dizzy at the moment.

Chen Mo hugged Yi Shiyan from the front, then gently picked up Han Aniang's bare hand, and looked down at the ring that he gave to Han Aniang after he came back. He moved his eyes to the gorgeous face and said softly:

"Sister-in-law, it's time for you to have a title. I know you don't like extravagance, so I will skip the scene of taking concubines and let the Yamen register you and add it to my household registration."

A formal concubine needs to be registered at the government office and has legal status. However, the document for taking a concubine is more like a contract to purchase goods than a marriage contract.

But now that the Pingting County Yamen belongs to him, he can definitely formulate a high-standard concubinage document for Han Anniang.

Hearing this, Han Aniang, whose blush had gradually subsided, turned red again. She wanted to refuse, but Chen Mo said directly: "That's it. Sister-in-law, if you refuse, I will be angry."

Han An's face turned red and she said "Yes" and said in a shy voice: "Listen to uncle."

"Sister Han, it's time to call me husband." Yi Shiyan interrupted.

"Xiaolu, you..." Han Anniang felt ashamed.

Chen Mo also became serious and said: "It's really time to change the title. But at this time, I'd better call you sister-in-law."

"Uncle," Han Anniang was furious: "You can't be more serious."

"Come on, call me husband." Chen Mo played with his slender fingers.

"Husband." After Han Anniang finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head and her heart beat faster.

"An Niang." Chen Mo called her by her nickname.

"Hey." Han An's face turned red and her voice was trembling.

"Congratulations to Sister Han and your husband for achieving positive cultivation." Yi Shiyan added another sentence.

Han Anniang was so embarrassed that she slapped Xiaolu's butt.    …

Until midnight, Chen Mo was hugging him. Yi Shiyan held Chen Mo's hand and trimmed his nails with her teeth. Han Aniang drew circles on his chest with her fingers and talked about the Xia sisters. thing.

"Erlang, isn't it almost the end of the year? Since the two sisters of the Xia family are also Erlang's women, let's invite them when we have the New Year's Eve dinner together."

After all, Han Anniang was a little embarrassed to call Chen Mo her husband, but it was really inappropriate to call her uncle, so she called her Erlang.

This Erlang reminded Chen Mo of the Guanyin maid named Li Shimin in a certain historical drama of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Mo nodded: "Listen to An Niang."

It seems that the plan will be accelerated.

December 25th, morning.

When Chen Mo came to the Yamen after shooting arrows as usual, Chun Hong hurried over and handed Chen Mo an embroidered peace charm with the word "mo" on it.

"Master, Madam Xia gave this to you," Chunhong said.

Chen Mo looked at the Ping An Blessing in his hand. Although it was just a small gadget, more than a day had passed since he asked Xia Zhiqing to continue.

In other words, she made it in one day. Seeing the exquisite word "ink" on the peace charm, Chen Mo had already thought of the scene when she was hiding from her sister.

Chen Mo whispered in Chun Hong's ear.

Backyard wing.

Xia Zhining was practicing her sword, and Xia Zhiqing was doing embroidery. When she made the peace charm, she did not avoid Xia Zhining, but claimed that it was for Xia Zhining.

However, when the success was achieved, Xia Zhiqing deliberately did not tattoo her sister's name. She took advantage of Xia Zhining's absence to tattoo the word "ink", and then tattooed it again in the morning. When Xia Zhining asked, she said One was badly pricked and was destroyed and re-pricked.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the wing, and Chun Hong's voice sounded outside: "Miss Xia, I have something to do with you."

Xia Zhining stopped dancing with her sword and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The master didn't say anything."

"Sister, let me go take a look." Xia Zhining put down her sword, took a sip of tea, and went out.

Seeing her sister leaving, Xia Zhiqing paused. She lightly clenched the embroidery she was holding in her hand, and an unnatural look gradually appeared on her gentle and graceful face.

"Why is he looking for Zhining?"

……

Not much time passed.

The door of the wing room was suddenly opened by someone. The servants always had to knock before coming in, so Xia Zhiqing thought it was her sister who had come back. She called Zhining and looked up. However, when she found that the person who came was Chen Mo, she moved slightly. He looked embarrassed, nervous and a little excited in his heart: "It's you?!"

The young man is dressed in a mysterious robe, his eyebrows are straight and slightly raised, like a lion on the grassland, showing the masculine beauty of a man.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the young man has lost some of his immaturity and become more mature and vicissitudes of life.

Now that old friends are reunited, it is inevitable to think of the lingering love and the gift given by the young man a few days ago.

Xia Zhiqing felt uneasy and inexplicable.

"Zhiqing, didn't I disturb you?" Chen Mo closed the door and stepped forward.

There is a heater and two braziers in the wing room, which is as warm as spring, so Xia Zhiqing is not wearing a lot of clothes. She is wearing a blue dress at the moment. She has a gentle temperament, a white complexion, and a refreshing rose fragrance exuding from her body.

Chen Mo was very familiar with this smell. It was rose perfume produced by a perfume factory.

"No." Xia Zhiqing responded quickly, then invited the boy to sit down, then lifted the copper kettle on the stove, poured the boy a cup of hot water, and then picked up a handful of tea leaves from the wooden box with tea leaves on the side. , put into the cup.

"Don't you have something to do with Zhining? Why are you here? Where is Zhining?" Xia Zhiqing asked three times in a row.

"Don't you understand? I came here specifically to find you. She has already been sent away by me." Chen Mo said.

Xia Zhiqing's delicate body trembled.

The next second, Chen Mo stood up from his seat, came to Xia Zhiqing, and sat down next to her.

Xia Zhiqing's heart was beating loudly. Just when she was about to distance herself from him, she felt that her slender body had fallen into the young man's hands. She subconsciously broke away and whispered: "Don't do this."

"Zhiqing, I miss you so much." Chen Mo stared at the jade bracelet on Xia Zhiqing's wrist, then raised his head to meet the beauty's beautiful eyes, and said with an expression.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Zhiqing, who was struggling gently, looked slightly stunned, and her cheeks as white as jade turned red with shame. After a brief pause, she tried to break free from Chen Mo's hand again, and said angrily: "You Don't call me Zhiqing, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, and my sister and I don't owe you anything anymore."

"is it?"

Chen Mo put his arms around Xia Zhiqing's waist, pulled her into his arms, then took out the peace blessing from his arms and said, "Then what's the explanation for this?"

"You asked for this yourself, and have you forgotten what you said that day?" Xia Zhiqing lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Chen Mo's eyes, and tried to break away from Chen Mo's hand again.

"I haven't forgotten. I originally wanted to cut you off and forget about you, but I can't forget. When I was in the army, whenever your sister appeared in front of me, I would think of you.

It's like I've been poisoned. I love you deeply, and it's only because I miss you and want to see you again that I survived on the battlefield. "

With that said, Chen Mo grabbed Xia Zhiqing's hand and put it on his chest, and then said: "Zhiqing, do you feel it? My heart is beating hotly for you."
