With the end of the main poetry meeting of Boyang County, the news of the good book of the eighteen mothers of the Chen family suddenly spread.

On the contrary, the people of the Chen family only knew about it from others.

Chen Shao looked at the words on the paper handed over, and as a strict father, he couldn't help but admire.

"It turns out that you have been diligent in the past two years." He said.

The sisters kneeling in front of them all giggled.

"Yes, yes, we used to laugh at Eighteen Niang in the house to participate in Zen."

"Father, you don't know, those people used to laugh at Eighteen Niang, laughing at her poems for not doing well, we have long held our breath..."

"yes, what if the poem is not done well? No matter how good their poems are, how good can they be, how can they be evaluated by Eighteen Niang to enter Hanlin..."

"Yes, father, you didn't see their expressions at that time, their eyes were about to fall off in surprise!"

Chen Shao's face sank.

"You have lost the way of a gentleman by doing this." He said.

Fish for fame and reputation! That's a lot of weight.

The laughing sisters in the room suddenly fell silent and looked uneasy.

Chen Banniang bowed her head and saluted.

"Father, it's not that Eighteen Niang did this on purpose, it's not interesting to write it at other times, only the book of the Lord of Boyang County has been successful, so we discussed going together."

"Yes, father, we didn't want to sell our reputation, but we just wanted to surprise everyone."

The sisters couldn't help but say.

Chen Shao hummed and frowned.

"Don't be a rhetoric." "What is not done properly is not done properly." ”

The sisters didn't dare to say any more.

Chen Shao looked down at the words in his hand, thinking of the words that Shi Cai asked Chen Eighteen Niang's maidservant. Write bald pen. Countless pieces of paper. The blackened pen washing pool, and then thinking of the eighteen mothers in the past two years, almost never go out to play, even during the New Year's holidays, the lights in the night are always the latest to go out, than the children in the family to study harder, his complexion gradually eased.

Young people, holding their breath and making a splash, are irresistible temptations in the end. Without these temptations, it would have been difficult to persevere in those arduous, repetitive, boring exercises.

There are pros and cons.

"Did you learn calligraphy to shock others?" Chen Shao said.

Chen Banniang shook her head.

"Of course not, I learned calligraphy because of my hobby." She said, "I want to do well because of my hobby, not for others, but for myself and my own heart." ”

Chen Shao nodded, and his expression eased again.

"Don't slack off in the future." He said.

The father was no longer angry, and the atmosphere in the house eased.

"Also, Boyang County will mainly present your character on His Majesty's birthday, and you have to write another word. You don't need to write a poem, you can just copy the scriptures. Chen Shao said again.

As soon as this remark came out, the other sisters laughed again.

"Father, are you disgusted with the poems we make?"

"I still dislike this, you don't know it?"

"Father, you are too partial!"

"We should also regret it, we were originally the ones who learned well in the family, and now we are going to be covered up by Eighteen Niang!"

Listening to the jokes here, Mrs. Chen, who walked in from outside, couldn't help laughing.

It's rare to see husbands and daughters get along so easily.

Mrs. Chen came in, and after reading Chen Banniang's words, she couldn't praise them all, and the daughters got up and retired.

"Last time you said that Mrs. Cheng might have entered Beijing? Why didn't you see her come to see her? Why don't you find someone to check it out? ”

Chen Banniang, who exited the door, stood still and looked back in some surprise.

"No, I asked from there a few days ago, and I said I wasn't there." Chen Shao said.

"I didn't come, I haven't heard from her for more than a year, and after a long time, I've forgotten what she looks like." Mrs. Chen sighed.

"Eighteen Niang."

A sister called.

Chen Bainiang came back to her senses and hurriedly responded, followed with a smile, and the conversation of her parents in the house could no longer be heard.

"Didn't she send a letter either?" Chen Shao asked again.

Mrs. Chen shook her head.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Do you remember the deserters you caught in her shop?" Chen Shao said.

Mrs. Chen nodded.

Of course, I remember that although it was a few inconspicuous deserters, in the end, it was related to the appointment and dismissal of military and political personnel in the northwest, and it also disrupted her husband's arrangement, which made Chen Shao depressed for a long time.

"Five of them died." Chen Shao said.

Mrs. Chen was taken aback.

"Then, that Cheng Niangzi must be uncomfortable." She sighed.

I think that the lady took great pains to save these five people, but it can be seen that she must be very concerned.

But this is also a helpless thing, a few people came back to fight in ancient times, poor Wuding Riverside bones, and they were people in the spring boudoir dream, the moment they were sent to the battlefield, everyone understood in their hearts.

But soon Mrs. Chen sensed that something was wrong.

The war in the northwest is frequent, and the casualties are even more numerous, although it is very sad, but it is really a trivial matter for the imperial court, at most it is just a casualty number, not that no one even knows the name of the senior general, how can the matter of these small soldiers be reported to Chen Shao.

"It's like they had some disputes after they died." Chen Shao said, "Because of the problem of merit. ”

It is not uncommon for officials to compete for merit and blame, but it is really the first time that a soldier has fought for merit after his death.

"Will she come to you and talk to you about it?" Mrs. Chen asked.

"I don't know." Chen Shao shook his head and said.

Originally, he shouldn't have known about this matter, and no one would report this kind of trivial matter at all, but Zhou Fengxiang probably remembered that he had mentioned these deserters, so he told him about it in a private message.

But to fight for these dead soldiers, he really can't do it to participate in politics, if he really wants to talk about it, then it is not just a matter of rewarding a few soldiers.

What's more, this is a big victory, a big victory that the emperor has longed for and is happy to see.

At this time, jumping out and saying something that may turn this happy thing into an unhappy thing is really not something that can be done with a hot mind, and the stakes are too great.

If Cheng Niangzi really came to him. I'm afraid that my answer won't satisfy her again.

It's a little strange to think about. Since saving his father. After paying her, they always seemed to be on opposite sides when it came to other things.

"Master, you are too worried." Mrs. Chen said softly, looking at her husband's frowning brows, "This kind of thing can't be helped, in all fairness, those who die in battle are meritorious, but how can everyone be rewarded, and they are sad to be sad." It's sad and sad, but I don't think Cheng Niangzi will be so unreasonable. ”

Chen Shao shook his head.

"Who knows, this Cheng Niangzi is always a little frightened." He said.

Mrs. Chen smiled.

"Let's just say that you are too worried, what can she do as a woman." She said.

Seeing that Chen Shao was about to speak, she hurriedly continued.

"I know, you want to talk about deserters again, and the deserters are just a coincidence, and it is natural to ask people everywhere to save people. It's just that who would have thought that Zhang Jiangzhou would make things bigger. ”

Not only deserters, but also murder and arson...

Chen Shao shook his head. Anyway, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

This time, won't that lady really make any trouble?

At the same time, Master Zhou was also interrogating Liulang.

"Did she tell you what to do?" He asked eagerly, "Why are they gone again?" ”

"Nope." Saturday Lang said sullenly.

"How could it not be?" Master Zhou paced back and forth with a worried expression, "If you don't do anything, aren't the things you did for her in the northwest in vain?" ”

"Father, what I do is my business, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, nor for anyone." Liuliulang said with a glare.

"Whether it's for you or for her, you're offending people anyway." Master Zhou also glared and said, "Since you have offended people, you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, either others have to remove your roots, or you have to remove other people's roots, how can you do nothing as if nothing has happened." ”

Cut the grass and eradicate the roots?

Saturday Lang sighed.

For that woman, of course, it is to remove the roots of others.

"What the hell did she ask you to help with?" Master Zhou went back to the original question and asked.

"Nothing, I didn't see her... I haven't seen her since that day. Liuliulang also continued to reply sullenly.

"Your sister asked that kid from the Qin family to help buy a cemetery, why don't you have anything?" Master Zhou asked with a glare.

I want to know this question too!

Saturday Lang couldn't help but jump again.

"And where the hell did your sister go?" Master Zhou asked again.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't Liuliulang said angrily, shook his hand and walked away.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I think you're an outsider, and that little cripple of the Qin family is her own brother."

Master Zhou's voice came from behind him, making Liulang's pace even faster.

This nasty stinky woman!

He didn't care what she did! It doesn't matter where she goes! I won't go to Qin Thirteen to ask!

The rain began to fall early in the morning, and by noon it had turned to a rapid turn, and a splash of water was pouring on the bluestone pavement, and only one person was in a hurry on the street in a small town located in the capital, stopping in front of a somewhat humble shop.

"Boss, boss, drink." The man walked into the store and shouted as he took off his hat.

A thin man came out from behind and waved at him.

"It's gone, it's gone, let's go somewhere else." He said.

The people who came were very surprised.

"Lu Laosi, do you want to change hands if you can't open this winery? If you haven't found your next home yet, won't you make wine? He asked.

Lu Laosi snorted.

"Curse me well, our wine sells well." "It's not that there is no sake brewed, it's that it's sold out." ”

Sold out?

"Are you still running out of wine?" The people who came were even more surprised.

This place is close to the capital, there are many good wines in the capital, such as Lu Laosi, the quality can not be compared with those good wines in the store, and the price is not much cheaper than the official winery, after all, there is a lot of money to buy, so the business is not very good, they are sold to the poor villagers nearby, many times they are half sold and half sent, and they have been said to be closed since last year.

"Not only are the existing ones sold out, but they are also sold in the next ten days." Lu Laosi snorted and said.

People looked at him like a madman, and he wanted to get rich and go crazy.

"As I said earlier, my family's wine is not mixed with water, and the taste is pure, you guys don't know the goods, and now you want to eat it, but you can't eat it." Lu Laosi looked at the people who walked out, and couldn't help but say proudly.

The person who came quickly walked into the rain and did not hear it, and someone else walked in from the side, it was two men wearing oilcloth raincoats and hats.

"Boss, are you ready for wine?" They asked.

Seeing these two people, the smile on Lu Laosi's face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Alright, alright." He said, nodding his head and listening to the outside, in addition to the sound of the rain brushing, there was also the sound of the carriage stopping by the door, and he immediately stepped forward, "Lady, please." ”

He lowered his head and only saw the corner of a woman's skirt slowly passing in front of him, and when the others also flocked away, Lu Laosi dared to raise his head and look at the woman who walked to the backyard with an oilcloth umbrella in his hand swaying back.

Whose little lady is so addicted to alcohol that she wants to charter this wine shop and all the wine for fun.
