(The titles father-in-law and mother-in-law should have started in the Tang Dynasty.)

Book of the Later Han Dynasty. According to the Fifth Lun Biography, the Han Dynasty called his father-in-law "Son-in-law".

For the sake of you, my good, everyone, borrow the title "father-in-law". ）

………

The three of them agreed: Uncle Wu Zhizu will send several veterans from the money village to Wencheng's "Instep Mountain" money village;

Help build the money shelf.

One hundred and fifty good men were dispatched from Laojun Mountain and temporarily stationed on the Instep Mountain; claimed to the outside world that it was to train restaurant hotel guards.

Laojun Mountain also dispatched 150 good men to be responsible for the safety and security of the instep mountain money village and temple.

The official family members and the family members of the big families come to the mountain to incense on the back of their feet, if they are frightened by wolves and teased by Xiaoxiao, it will not be good!

On the surface, the two teams of caretakers are dressed differently, perform their own duties, and are not related to each other.

Even pretending to be like they don't know each other

- In fact, all of them are the children of the hidden sect of the Laojun Mountain literary family.

In the end, the Wen family found a cousin of the same clan who was sleek and experienced and named "Wu Bian" from the family.

went to the county temple to take over, originally belonged to the position of "Gong Cao Zuo Official" of Wencheng;

Cang Cao's position is being sought, so let's ignore it for the time being; Wen Cheng was relieved to be a "county order staff".

Promote Wu Bian to be a meritorious Cao Zuo official, this kind of small "county monarch subordinate official", only needs to be used by Gong Cao Zhao Lord Chen and Kong Xiaoer, and there is no need to report to the county and state.

Negotiate properly

Wen Cheng got up and went home.

Previously, Chen Wan asked someone to bring a message: her father-in-law's family has moved to Wencheng's house!

Back at the inner gate, a group of conscripts and craftsmen were on the inside of the inner gate, renovating the duty room of the inner door supervisor;

Wen Cheng is now one of the powerful people in the county temple, and the security regulations in Zhengxingli need to be improved accordingly.

Higher-level officials need to live with peace of mind and comfort, so as to better shine for Han'an County

At the intersection of Lifang Street, where the county Cheng and the county lieutenant's house are located, there has always been a soldier on duty.

The original inner door supervisor room needs to be transformed into a small second floor with one light and one dark, two rooms; upstairs lookout, guard, downstairs for the soldiers to rest; One is ten soldiers, rotating day and night.

There are a lot of heroes who want to submit a letter and are willing to give him a mansion; It's just that Wen Cheng rejected them all:

Looking up into the distance from time to time can make yourself less nearsighted;

I have developed the habit of looking down and picking up cheap, and sooner or later I will be hunched over.

What you want, Wen Cheng will earn it himself...

In that kind of mansion compound, you have to hire two florists just to take care of the flowers and plants; Then the rough man who swept the yard gave the mother-in-law two more;

It must also be equipped with doormen, maids and maids in the inner house, and servants in the outer court; With so many subordinates, you have to be equipped with a cook; If you have a cook, you have to be equipped with a miscellaneous one; When there are too many people, they must be equipped with slaves and stewards who are responsible for purchasing...

In the public houses of the Yamen, this is how the redundant people came!

What is strange is that the Yellow Dog House opposite Wen Cheng's house is also starting construction and demolishing the courtyard wall...

Yellow dog, who does not like to make friends with outsiders.

He only likes two things: selling cattle and horses in the western market to make money, and picking up his home when he has some money.

Therefore, in the yellow dog's home, don't look ordinary in appearance; Inside, the cleaning is extremely neat and beautiful;

The Yellow Dog's house is the best and most beautiful house in Zhengxing.

Wen Cheng saw that the Yellow Dog's family was demolishing the courtyard wall, but he didn't pay attention to it, and thought that the Yellow Dog had made money again, and he was starting to renovate his own house again.

~~~~

When I reached the door of my house, the door of the courtyard was wide open; I heard the voice of Chen Wan's fourth sister from afar: "I'm Xiao Yuyu's aunt, come here!" Miss Li is a guest, and she will be back in a few days! ”

Wen Cheng entered the door and looked: Xiao Yu was pestering Li Min. Chen Wan's fourth sister, Chen Pei, saw that Xiao Yu ignored herself, and clapped her hands anxiously!

Under the mulberry tree in the courtyard, in a huge chicken coop, "quack, uh, uh, cluck"; If you want to come, there are chickens, ducks and geese inside;

Chen Zhi, the father-in-law, and Chen Huishi, the mother-in-law, happened to come out of the side yard, covered in mud.

Wen Cheng's house, behind the aisle of the west wing, is the place of "out of Gong"; There is a small open space in front of the latrine.

Chen Wan, who is diligent and thrifty, tidied up the vacant land into a small vegetable garden; Plant some coriander, green onion ginger, radish and woad and the like.

Presumably, next to the vegetable garden, there are also a bunch of chickens and ducks.

See Wen Cheng staring at the poultry under the tree

The father-in-law spoke: "Erlang is on duty?" These chickens, ducks and geese are reluctant to sell; Now a large family wants to eat and drink, just save some copper money!

Wen Cheng hurriedly saluted: "Let my father-in-law suffer!" Those who have abandoned their homes and businesses come here to suffer; The son-in-law is really terrified! ”

The father-in-law smiled: "I don't have anything, it's almost winter, and there is not much farm work at home." The water is getting colder and colder, and it is no longer possible to fish in the river. It's just that this year's collection of reed flowers is a pity!

I have to sew a few less winter quilts, that's one hundred and eighty wen, and I am rushing to ask for miles! ”

"Money, money, money, you know money in your head! The river is icy, and the shrimp rake is not bright every day!

I don't know how much money you sell for fish and shrimp, and if you don't have enough money in the future, you will have money for soup and medicine! Chen Wan's mother spoke.

Although Chen Huishi is special, very thrifty to himself.

But it seems that in terms of money, it is not too important; For the children, it is also a big hand.

Chan continued:

"Erlang, now that you have so many people in your family to eat, you don't dare to use it anymore. Be careful, don't go hungry! ”

Wen Cheng secretly exclaimed: On weekdays, I am reluctant to drink mutton soup, how can I ever be lavish?

Naturally, his mouth replied again and again: "Yes, yes, my mother-in-law taught me a lesson." Making money is like prying soil with a needle, and spending money is comparable to washing sand with water!

I know, I know! ”

Chen Huishi sighed: "Erlang is now a serious official, how dare I accuse you?"

It's just that this time Erlang gave us some kindness and let us go into the city to hide from the bandits.

Originally, we were in the village, weaving and spinning at home, planting some melons, fruits and vegetables for sale, and accumulating some reeds to sew bedding, and we still had some income!

Now I don't know when it will be a head!

You see, we two old people are now eating you; Chen Xiang and Chen Xu are at an age when they can eat and can't make money, and the fourth sister is also young.

The two families, when they open their eyes, open their mouths to eat and drink; Don't you count the flowers? ”

Wen Cheng hit again and again: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, there are a total of more than a dozen people, and they can still afford to raise and raise them, so there is no need to worry."

Chen Huishi stared at Wen Cheng: "Erlang, although I haven't studied; I can hear about it

'Farts are all truths when you have money, and farts when you don't have money; If you don't believe it, but look at the wine in the feast, and persuade the rich first! ’

Erlang, you can't see that your family is tight, so you have a crooked heart and go crooked! Greed is something that you don't dare to contaminate! ”

~~~~

Chen Wan's third brother in the house, Chen Xiangwen heard the movement and came to the door of the hall.

Seeing that his mother had counted the papers, he said unhappily:

"Where did Mother come from? My brother-in-law is a human being, and my mother is not unclear! My brother-in-law is a scholar, how can my mother spit out such vulgar words? ”

The fourth sister Chen Pei also rushed to speak: "That's it!" My brother-in-law has just entered the door, and he hasn't even taken a breath yet!

My mother stopped people in that courtyard and kept chattering.

I don't know, I thought that Yan's mother reprimanded the loser! ”

Chen Huishi exclaimed in disgust: "How can I teach your brother-in-law a lesson? There are so many eats at home, and your brother-in-law is a little bit of a bargain alone.

If your brother-in-law is eager to make money and takes that evil path, how can he be born? ”

"Alright, alright! You old woman just don't say a word! Erlang is not naïve.

The Wen family has always been upright. At the beginning, didn't we marry Wan'er to Erlang because of the Wen family's family style! Chen Zhi, the father-in-law, finally quieted everyone down.

Chen Wan raised her head from behind the stone platform in front of the stove room: "The fourth sister still hasn't come over to help pluck her hair?" Seeing that the sky is getting dark, tonight's chicken soup has not yet landed! ”

"I'm not going to pluck your hair, I can't smell it!" Chen Pei replied with a puffed mouth.

Wen Cheng also hated the smell of boiling water and scalding chickens and ducks

Then he said, "Why don't you take it to the East Market and let those people who help people kill chickens and pluck their feathers do these things?" And don't get paid! ”

Chen Pei's mouth was fast: "Brother-in-law, you can't live!" You don't need copper money to kill chickens and pluck feathers, but the chicken feathers and duck feathers are given to others!

It is a good material for bedding and robes; My parents are adults, how can they afford to waste a chicken feather on weekdays? ”

Li Min jumped in front of the stone platform: "I'll help my sister!" ”

Chen Pei's mouth pursed even higher: "Nothing to do, you are definitely not a good person!" ”

Chen Huishi was about to fight, but Chen Pei was not afraid at all: "It was originally true!" I really think of this place as my home! It's thick skin. ”

This Chen Pei has been rude since she was a child, but she is extremely thrifty and considerate of her family, and Chen Huishi is also helpless with her.

The small courtyard of Wen Cheng's family is now really singing every day

Chicken feathers in one place......

~~~~

After Chen Wan picked up the chickens and ducks, Wen Cheng went into the stove room and prepared

Treat yourself to a good stir-fry of two dishes.

As soon as he entered the stove room, Chen Pei bounced up from the fire pier and pushed the text directly outside the stove room: "Brother-in-law, you are a scholar, how can you do this aunt's business?" Don't insult Sven! ”

Chen Wan knows today's Wencheng, and I don't know where she learned the cooking skills! The cooking techniques are all novelties that I have never seen before;

It's delicious!

Chen Wan was happy to cook with Wencheng, and she could learn some cooking skills, so she smiled and dissuaded Chen Pei: "Fourth sister, don't make trouble!" Your brother-in-law is a great cook!

Today, my father and mother are here, so let your brother-in-law cook two novel dishes and let the second elder have a good meal!

Miss Li has been coming to my house for several days, and she doesn't have anything to do, so she has entertained Miss Li. ”

"Hospitality is great! My father has bad teeth and doesn't eat these! That girl's family, how can there be a reason to live in someone else's house for a long time! ”

Chen Pei's fire was higher than the flames in the new-style furnace:

"Sister, you too, let your brother-in-law cook! spread out, and others commented that my sister did not learn women's work; Where is the official authority of my brother-in-law? ”

~~~~

Today, Wencheng is in this house, which is suddenly lively; But it's so lively that it's a little big.

Wen Cheng pulled away Chen Pei with a smile: "I plan to open a restaurant, have you heard of it, little sister?"

Let my brother-in-law and I practice my cooking skills.

In the future, if that cook is not as good as your brother-in-law and me, what should I hire them to do? It's okay, no one in the family says anything, who knows that your brother-in-law is a cook? ”

Chen Pei's momentum suddenly weakened, and his mouth was still bulging: "There are outsiders in the family..."

The father-in-law is also a person who has never cooked in his life, and if he is given a handful of rice, he doesn't know how to become the master of rice.

At this moment, he also drilled into the stove room; When I saw the new stove in Wen Cheng's house, I couldn't help but exclaim, what is this?

Chen Pei found a punching bag now, and pushed Chen Zhi out of the stove room with a push:

"My father has a qi disease, why bother to find the cause of the illness? Go to the hall to sit and rest, and eat what your brother-in-law cooked! What the are you idle? ”

~~~~

"Geyue Mountain Spicy Chicken", no chili peppers, more dogwood, mustard; The spicy crowd hissed and couldn't stand it, but they couldn't stop the chopsticks.

"Ginger chicken offal" is crispy and delicious; "Sauce chicken duck head and claw wings", did not waste a little bit of water.

"Konjac stewed duck" with some sauerkraut, delicious; "Fried chicken breast with green onions" is tender. Refreshing; "Vinegar cabbage" is light and pleasant...

The family who ate was sweating profusely, and they were addicted!

Chen Zhi, the father-in-law, sipped a little wine; Wen Cheng is dried bowl by bowl.

Li Min obediently poured wine for the two, but was snatched by Chen Pei...

Chen Huishi muttered on the side: "The old man is reluctant to drink back for the rest of his life!"

When encountering a happy event in the neighbor's house, he dared to taste a few cups of rural mash wine to relieve his cravings.

Today, I drank a good wine that I had never tasted in my life!

Erlang has a bunch of good wine in his house, which is too extravagant!

This is not how life passes.

Hey, could it be that this wine was obtained by someone else bribing Erlang?

- What is the meaning of drinking such wine! ”

Chen Wan hurriedly replied: "Mother doesn't know, this wine was purchased a few days ago when my husband invited Shangguan and colleagues to a banquet.

But no one drank it, so he was left at home. ”

Chen Huishi exclaimed: "Could it be that Erlang didn't collide with the officials in words?" Banquet officials, no one appreciates the face and drinks Erlang's wine?

That's not good!

Erlang's dish is so delicious, I don't think the officials will dislike it?

I said, old man, put down your wine quickly! This good wine is also worthy of village husbands and women like us?

Save some for Erlang, and let Erlang hurry up and invite the officials another day, and come here to feast and drink! ”

Wen Cheng smiled: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, now Erlang is 'Shangguan'; Uh, except for the county honorable Kong Jun. ”

Chen Huishi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Erlang is so good? Is it bigger than the thief Master Cao? ”

"Bigger than him"

"Ahh This, that Erlang became the county master? ”

"Uh... No. It's a prefectural officer."

"What is the rank of the county commander?"

"Not much, two hundred stones for the time being."

Chen Huishi couldn't help but be disappointed:

"Two hundred stones... Isn't it still lower than the second lord of the county and the third lord of the county lieutenant? ”

Maybe he drank too much, and the hand-in-law Chen Zhi slapped the desk excitedly: "You woman knows a fart!" ”

“……”

Pause interest

"Smack!" Chen Huishi also slapped the table: "Chen Lao Wu, you are so bold and bold that you dare to call your mother!" Isn't it? Try it again? ”

“……”

Wen Cheng hurriedly took over the conversation: "Mother-in-law is angry, angry. The staff of the county order, in fact, has no rank, only a salary;

But they can participate in everything.

I only obey the orders of the county.

Even the second and third masters of the county temple can't point fingers at me; Although he is not high, he has real power.

Father-in-law, I just want to say that your old man doesn't understand this, and I'm a little anxious. Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed ”

Hearing that Wen Cheng has real power, this is a good thing to celebrate.

Chen Huishi's face softened a little:

"Erlang, we countrymen are afraid when we see officials and tax collectors; I don't understand your official affairs.

Now, Erlang, since you have been promoted, the field... Do you have to buy it back? Otherwise, you will be poked in the backbone, and you will be a loser and squander your ancestral business! ”

"Uh... Well, what my mother-in-law said is not unreasonable. It's just..."Wen Cheng is not easy to explain this thing, it is too complicated.

Chen Huishi only shirked the text, and his face was a little displeased: "

Sell the ancestral inheritance, Erlang, do you know how bad his reputation will be?

If Erlang doesn't have enough money, I will go back to the countryside and sell the few acres of thin fields and a few dilapidated houses at home!

Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to redeem those ancestral properties for you!

Erlang, you are an official figure, how can you be slandered behind your back?

This matter, I think, is so decided! ”

"You know!"

"You know!"

The father-in-law Chen Zhi and the son-in-law Wen Cheng said in unison

“……”

Finished! Wen Cheng reacted instantly:

This hall is not big, and the demonic wind that is about to usher in is really not small......

.

This chapter is not small, the number of words of conscience.

Can't you get a message or comment from you?

The empty mountain lonely temple monk code word, sticking money and burning brains is difficult to insist.

After a long time on a single machine, the monk is easy to jump off the wall and escape. Prison also......
