Li Zicheng rolled down and lay on Mu Sirong's side until the flush on her face completely faded, and then turned her face over, "Rong'er......"

"If the Metropolitan Governor is bad, the Metropolitan Governor will bully the servant," Mu Sirong closed her eyes and refused to open them, "I said that I would talk about the teaching, but it turned out to be ...... I knew that the maid wouldn't be on the kang......"

"Fool, this is also one of the contents of the lecture," Li Zicheng pinched Mu Sirong's cheek with his hand, "Who doesn't do this kind of thing?" If you don't do this kind of thing, it's still called husband and wife? ”

"But it's daylight...... The sisters are still preparing Chinese New Year's Eve meal......" Mu Sirong was ashamed, still closed her eyes, she secretly glanced at Li Zicheng, and found that Li Zicheng was looking at her, and hurriedly closed her eyes.

Li Zicheng smiled: "What do they know about it? They're all my wives, too! ”

"My sisters must be laughing at me......"

"They are sisters, how can they laugh at Rong'er? It's too late for them to help you......"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

Mu Sirong thoughtfully, opened her eyes slightly, and put her head in front of Li Zicheng, "Metropolitan Governor, it's getting dark, listening to the sound of firecrackers, many people are already having a reunion dinner, let's get up?" ”

"Dark? Wouldn't it be better when it was dark? Li Zicheng smiled at Mu Sirong, "It was daylight just now, and now it's night, what are you afraid of?" Why don't we come again? I just went to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner after the ......."

"Ah......" Mu Sirong retracted her head in a panic, "Sisters should be waiting for the Metropolitan Governor to have a reunion dinner......" said as she lifted the brocade quilt, quickly put on her dress, and then came to the bed, "The maid serves the Metropolitan Governor to get up and ......"

"Rong'er dares to run away?" Li Zicheng feigned anger, "However, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is recorded in my heart, if there is a next time, it will be punished together!" ”

"The maid won't dare to ...... next time"

The two went to the kitchen, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner had not yet been prepared, all the women were busy, Gao Guiying saw that Mu Sirong's face was not ruddy, thought she was unwilling, so he looked at Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng naturally understood Guo Guiying's thoughts, smiled, and did not speak.

Chen Qiudie looked up at Li Zicheng, and then at Mu Sirong, "Metropolitan Governor, you are so fast...... It's coming? Chinese New Year's Eve Haven't you eaten yet......"

Mu Sirong had something in her heart, she knew it herself, her face turned red in an instant, and she hid behind Li Zicheng and refused to see anyone.

Li Zicheng glared at Chen Qiudie, Chen Qiudie was startled, and hurriedly changed her words: "Sister Rong'er, the mutton dumplings I ate tonight haven't been finished yet, come and help me!" ”

"I ...... I'll wash my hands first......" Mu Sirong lowered her head, walked past Chen Qiudie, and went to the back kitchen to get water.

Li Zicheng took advantage of her absence, stretched out his thumb to Chen Qiudie, nodded and smiled.

Chen Qiudie glanced back and saw that Mu Sirong had not yet appeared, so she lowered her voice and said: "The maid knows that Sister Rong'er is thin-skinned, and the majority governor can rest assured, the maid will make her happy in a while......

When Mu Sirong came back, Li Zicheng walked to the back kitchen, wanting to see how Song Yulian, the manager, prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve rice, chicken, goose, duck, cow, sheep, pig, fish...... The smell of the flesh of all kinds of animals, and some of them he can't name, maybe dry goods.

Li Zicheng was sniffing the fragrance of the vegetables while listening attentively, wanting to hear what Chen Qiudie said, but her voice was so small that she couldn't hear it clearly, and she could only hear her and Mu Sirong "giggle" and laugh.

Leave them alone, as long as they don't embarrass Rong'er.

During the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the whole family worshipped the god Vesta, as usual, and then set off firecrackers.

The population of the Li family has more than ten people, in addition to Li Zicheng and the six genuine wives, the children have seven or eight, Song Yulian directly opened two tables, Li Zicheng and the six ladies have a table, and the children have a table alone, served by Xiaomei, Xiaolan and the nurses, Song Yulian did not serve the table, she is still serving.

Li Zicheng's side, everyone is more restrained, only Chen Qiudie and Tian Fen had a good time, Tian Fen was originally a Hui, believed in the Horror Religion, and absolutely forbidden to eat pork, but now he has become a naturalized Han and converted to Catholicism, Chen Qiudie made her happy and sandwiched a large piece of pork chop for him.

Tian Fen did not evade, opened his mouth to eat, in order to thank Chen Qiudie for his "love", he was stunned to find the goose butt from a large plate of braised goose and gave it to Chen Qiudie.

Seeing Chen Qiudie's deflated appearance, even Gao Guiying smiled.

The most lively is the child's table, Li Feng and Li Song almost put down their chopsticks to fight in order to fight for a piece of "waist and liver", even Xiaomei couldn't suppress it, and finally Li Yuxin found another piece of "waist and liver", which calmed the anger of the two.

Only half of the dishes were served, the dumplings were not served, the children ate almost enough, the nurses coaxed the little ones to sleep, and Li Feng and Li Song took their brothers and sisters who could play to the snow to let go.

Li Zicheng saw that Xiaomei and Xiaolan were busy, so he said: "Guiying, our family is getting more and more populous, see that Xiaomei Xiaolan is busy, why don't you buy a few more after the New Year?" ”

Gao Guiying said: "Zicheng has always asked our sisters to learn to do it themselves? It's also a little busier at the end of the year, on weekdays, although Jie'er, Die'er, and Rong'er are going to school, Namu Zhong and Fen'er are at home, and I can also help Lian'er," paused, and said: "If you don't go on the next expedition, it won't cost you two Mongolian mothers-in-law to come back, and it won't cost two dollars......

"You can do it......"

At this time, Song Yulian happened to serve a crockpot of duck soup, the crockpot was rolling, a few chives went up and down, the oil beads were bright yellow, and the shallot was fragrant.

Song Yulian hurriedly said: "Be careful, the duck soup is rolling......

Li Zicheng had already tasted it, but it was not as hot as it looked, and he frowned slightly and said, "Lian'er, this is duck soup, right?" ”

Song Yulian said curiously: "How do the metropolitan governors know that it is duck soup?" ”

Chen Qiudie put his head on the crockpot and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see anything, "Governor, is the duck soup also divided into male and female?" ”

Li Zicheng laughed and said, "I not only know that this is a male duck soup, but also know that this is an adult male duck, at least three years!" ”

"Huh? The Metropolitan Governor is right, this is indeed a three-year-old duck...... "The duck was sold by Song Yulian, and she has the right to speak."

Sun Mengjie rummaged through the crockpot with a long spoon, and sure enough, she found two "waist kidneys", as big as chicken eggs, and the women were convinced, Gao Guiying said lightly: "Zicheng, is this the art of war in which military book?" ”

"Actually, it's my life experience," Li Zicheng said: "This duck soup was still tumbling just now, but when you drink it in your mouth, it's not too hot, so it's naturally old duck soup...... Don't you give it a try! ”

The women rushed to bring the duck soup to their mouths, and it was really not too hot!

Song Yulian covered her mouth and smiled, and continued to cook, but Chen Qiudie broke the casserole and asked, "Governor, why is the old duck soup not hot, but the female duck soup is hot?" ”

"Maybe the mother duck wants to hatch ducklings, and the body temperature is already high......"

After a while, Song Yulian served a large plate of beef soup, but Chen Qiudie was unconvinced, "Governor, do you say this is bull soup or cow soup?" ”

"I've got to taste it first!" Li Zicheng scooped a spoonful of beef broth, put it to his mouth, and pretended to taste it.

The women thought that he had some high opinions, so they all stopped the bowl and stared at his lips, and even Song Yulian peeked at the side.

Li Zicheng smashed his mouth, exhaled a long breath, and said, "It's a two-legged cow!" ”

Gao Guiying smiled lightly, "Zicheng, how can there be a two-legged cow?" ”

Namu Zhong also said: "Yes, the maid has been dealing with cattle and sheep since she was a child, and she has never heard of any two cows!" ”

"That's because you don't have knowledge," Li Zicheng put down half a spoonful of beef soup and said, "If you listen to me tell a story, you will understand!" ”

"The Governor of the Metropolitan shall say quickly, the servant is about to listen!" When Chen Qiudie was in the girls' school, she heard Li Zicheng tell a lot of novel stories, and this time she thought it was a story from some distant Europe.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "In the autumn ploughing season, there are two old farmers ploughing the land less than half a mile apart, and at lunchtime, they tie the cattle ploughing the fields to the edge of the field and go home to eat. ”

"Say it quickly!" Chen Qiudie was the most impatient, and there was no novelty in these few words.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly," Li Zicheng said: "When they came back after dinner, the two old farmers were dumbfounded: perhaps they didn't bolt tightly, and the two ploughing oxen broke free from the rope and trampled the crops on the middle piece of the cultivated land in a mess, almost losing the harvest. ”

Everyone listened sideways, feeling both a little new and a sense of life, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with the two-legged cow, could it be that the cow had broken its leg in a fight......

Li Zicheng drank the beef soup in the spoon and continued: "The owner of the crop is not relenting, and the two old farmers have to compensate for the loss, and the old farmer agrees to compensate, but in terms of the amount of compensation, it is impossible to negotiate, there is no way, the owner of the crop sues the county government!" ”

“……”

"After the county magistrate inspected the spot, according to the harvest and price of local crops, it was decided that the compensation would be 60 yuan, and the two old farmers would each bear 30 yuan!"

"It's fair, it's supposed to be trampled on by two cows......"

"Don't argue, don't argue, let the Metropolitan Governor continue to speak......"

Li Zicheng couldn't help but laugh and continued: "The owner of the bull admitted the loss of sixty wen, but only agreed to compensate twenty wen, saying that his cow only has two legs!" ”

"Two legs? How can it be? ”

"Isn't his family ploughing cattle? How can it be two-legged? ”

"Must be a cunning and treacherous man......"

“……”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Li Zicheng said: "The magistrate also felt strange, he took someone to take a look at the ploughing ox, and angrily reprimanded, 'Isn't your cow four-legged'?" ”

"There's no quibbling this time, is there?" Chen Qiudie clenched her fists, as if Diao Min was in front of her, and she wanted to make him look good.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "But the old farmer emphasized that his family was a bull, but he only had two legs on the ground at that time...... The magistrate was stunned when he landed......"

All the women were stunned, but Song Yulian was the first to wake up, turned her head hurriedly, covered her lower abdomen with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other, and quickly ran to the back kitchen......

Gao Guiying couldn't straighten her waist with a smile, lying on the dining table, but she still forcibly turned her head and glared at Li Zicheng fiercely, "Zichengjing is talking nonsense......"

The two butterflies, Chen Qiudie and Tian Fen, hugged each other tightly and danced a butterfly dance, almost knocking over a table of dishes!

Sun Mengjie laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled, but she couldn't speak, so she was so anxious that she slapped Mu Sirong on the chest, shocking Mu Sirong upward, falling to the ground on her back, and unable to get up for half an hour......

Only Namu Zhong is slightly better, although she lives with her sisters, she is not proficient in Chinese, and she doesn't understand the last sentence at all, but she just laughs and trembles with others......

After dinner, Gao Guiying accompanied the child to set off firecrackers for a while, and then went back to the room alone to rest, but she didn't expect to just plug in the latch, she heard a knock on the door, thinking that Song Yulian asked her about tomorrow's lunch, so she said through the door: "Didn't you tell you?" A little thing, you can do it yourself! ”

"But I can't do it alone......"

"Ah......" Gao Guiying heard Li Zicheng's voice, hurriedly pulled the latch and opened the door, "Zicheng ......"

"Gui Ying rested so early today?"

"If you don't take an early break, you still have to listen to the story of your two-legged cow?" Gao Guiying glanced at Li Zicheng, "It's so late, why did you come to me if you don't go to sleep?" ”

"Look at what Gui Ying said, you are my eldest lady, can't I come to you to have a look?" Li Zicheng squeezed in the door and latched the bedroom door with his hand, "Gui Ying, I'll interpret this story, lest you don't ......believe it."

"Virtue!" Gao Guiying rolled her eyes again, "You won't go to Jie'er tonight...... Why don't you go to Fen'er......"

"Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, I won't go anywhere, just accompany Gui Ying," Li Zicheng hugged Gao Guiying, "In the past two days since I came back from Sichuan, Gui Ying has been by my nature, I want to thank Gui Ying well tonight!" ”

"Who wants you to thank you? But look at the past few months when you have been in Sichuan......" Gao Guiying struggled a little, and when she saw that she couldn't break free, she gave up, but said: "Don't always expect this...... Your body is important......"

"I understand, didn't I just go home, I went out for months, and I could only see the big head soldiers every day...... They say that even the rats in Sichuan are male......"

"Look at your anxious ......" Gao Guiying sneered, raised her head, and stroked Li Zicheng's cheek with one hand, "Yes, Zicheng is in the prime of life, but he is ......"

"It's still Gui Ying who can understand me, or how can it be my eldest lady!" Li Zicheng grabbed her little hand and pressed it on his face, "Next time I want to go on an expedition, it is estimated that it will take a long time, so I will bring Jie'er and them...... No, Jie'er, they want to teach, so let's bring Namu Zhong and them......"

"Look at your beauty," Gao Guiying pursed her lips and smiled, "Isn't it forbidden to hide women in the barracks?" ”

Li Zicheng said deliberately: "That...... Let them pretend to be transporters, and every once in a while, they will deliver a batch of military rations......"

"I know you ......" Gao Guiying tapped Li Zicheng's forehead with her hand, "To be honest, have you ever touched a woman in Sichuan this time?" It is said that the Sichuan girl has a spicy taste, let me sniff ......"

"When I was in Sichuan, in addition to fighting wars and arranging government affairs every day, I just thought about you, how could I have the heart to do that shameful thing?" Li Zicheng kissed Gao Guiying's forehead and said, "You see, except for Jie'er and Die'er, who started to marry, Namu Zhong, Fen'er, and Rong'er, which one of them is not for the great cause of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, and I married them?" ”

"What about Xiaomei and Xiaolan?"

"They? They have been serving in the Li family, and I have long regarded them as family, do I still want them to marry? ”

"Look at your mouth," Gao Guiying wiped a finger on Li Zicheng's lips, "Zicheng, you dare to say that you don't like Namu Zhong, Fen'er, and Rong'er?" ”

"They are already my women, whether I like them or not, I regard them as family, and I will love them, including Xiaomei and Xiaolan!"

After a long time, Gao Guiying suddenly said, "What about me?" ”

"You?" Li Zicheng stared at Gao Guiying's eyes, "Aren't I here to love you tonight?" If I behave well tonight, I will love you even more......" Before he finished speaking, he picked up Gao Guiying Hengsheng and walked towards the kang bed.

"Self-contained, turn off the lights first......"

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve, you can't turn off the lights!"

"Ah......h
