Su Niang wondered: "What trouble will there be?" Suddenly thinking of something, he asked in a low voice: "Erlang, who are those two people who came back with you today?" They all had knives on them, and they were really scared to death. ”

After all, Su Niang is the eldest sister-in-law, but Chu Huan is not good at hiding everything from her, and there are some things that Su Niang will know sooner or later, she pondered for a while before saying: "Those two are from the Praetorian Guard......!" Worried that Su Niang didn't understand what the Praetorian Guard was, she simply said: "They are all soldiers, they are from the government, and they will all be sent by me in the future!" ”

Su Niang didn't come back to her senses for a while, and asked, "Why do you want to listen to your dispatch?" ”

Chu Huan scratched his head and said with a smile: "This ...... I am also a member of the government now, a guard general of the Praetorian Guard! ”

"Guards?" Su Niang was puzzled: "Is this official very big?" ”

Chu Huan said: "It's not very big, but it's ...... Just in terms of official positions, it doesn't seem to be too small, and it can manage some people! ”

"Compared to the county master, who is bigger and who is smaller?" Su Niang hurriedly asked, in her heart, the county magistrate is a great official, so she wants to use the official position of the magistrate to measure how big an official Chu Huan is.

Chu Huan saw an eager look on Su Niangqiao's face, and felt a little funny in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said: "The magistrate is a civil official, and I am a military general, so I really have to compare...... It shouldn't be smaller than Zhixian. ”

Su Niang covered her mouth suddenly, looking surprised, and then her face was full of suspicion, and she wondered: "Erlang, is what you said true?" I've heard people say before that if you want to be a big official, you have to study and test your fame, ...... You haven't studied, you haven't been admitted to the exam, and you're not even a showman, how can you be an official? In her heart, she only felt that Chu Huan was teasing her.

Chu Huan patiently explained: "There are two ways to become an official, one way is like what you said, rely on the exam to gain fame, the champion of literature and martial arts, this is the way, and the other way is recommendation." ”

"Recommend?" Su Niang blinked, a little confused.

Chu Huan said: "It's like a person who is very capable, but he didn't take the exam, but he was seen by a high-ranking official with a good eye, and he was promoted, this is a recommendation." ”

Su Niang understood now, frowned and said, "Does it mean that you are very capable and have been favored by the officials, so you were promoted?" ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "You can also say the same." ”

Su Niang wondered: "Erlang, do you really have that great ability?" The Su family promoted you, and even the officials made you an official......! At this moment, Wu Zi didn't believe it.

Chu Huan knew that Su Niang was wondering in her heart, so she didn't say much, just smiled, and Su Niang said again: "I heard that if you become an official, you are a master...... Are you a master now? ”

"Don't listen to that." Chu Huan said with a smile: "No matter how big the official is, he is also the second lang of Sister Su Niang!" Suddenly, I felt that these words were a little strange, but I saw that Su Niang's pretty face was also red.

Su Niang is now a little apprehensive in her heart.

In the past, she only thought that Chu Huan was her brother-in-law, and she didn't have any special feelings, but now she felt that what Chu Huan said seemed to be true, and she also saw two soldiers with swords sending Chu Huan back, and she felt more and more that what Chu Huan said was true, and she suddenly became a little nervous.

She was born in poverty, and the people of the small people already have a sense of fear of officials, this is Chu Huan has become an official, and it seems to be older than the county master, which makes Su Niang suddenly restrained, and her heart is both happy and apprehensive, and secretly thought: "Erlang can also become a big official?" This is a matter of honoring the ancestors. It's just that...... It's just that Erlang has become a master, and he will ...... in the future In the future, I have to be careful in what I say and do, and I can't make him angry......! ”

She was thinking about her own thoughts, Chu Huan saw that she didn't speak, the expression on her face was a little strange, she screamed, Su Niang didn't answer, she called again, Su Niang came back to her senses, and said in a panic: "Master, what...... What's up? ”

She thought in her heart that Chu Huan had become the master, but she couldn't help but call out the master in her mouth.

Chu Huan couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only shake his head and say, "It's okay, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I didn't ...... Not much. Su Niang hurriedly said: "I'...... I'm going to clean up my room ......! Like a kitten, she trotted away, wearing a brocade jacket, but her small steps were fast, twisting her ass, and in a blink of an eye she disappeared.

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, although Su Niang has a strong temperament, after all, she was born in a small family, and she has seen too little in the world, so she is a little panicked when she encounters a real big event or a big person.

When I arrived at my mother's house, I saw Chu Li pulling Rulian to speak, Rulian's little face was flushed, she lowered her head, and she didn't dare to say more.

Chu Huan knew that although life was much better than before, but for Chu Li's family, this city was a strange place, unfamiliar with life, and unlike before, when you could talk to the villagers in Liujia Village, you can talk to the villagers every day, and here you are in the house every day, except for Su Niang or Su Niang, there is no one to speak, and now there is a little girl living in, which is equivalent to one more person to speak, and Rulian looks clean and clean, and she looks delicate and lovable, which naturally makes Chu Li's heart full of joy.

"This kid is afraid of life and doesn't dare to speak." When Chu Li saw Chu Huan coming in, he smiled and said, "If we all have to live together in the future, don't be afraid." ”

Rulian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Huan coming in, Chu Huan had already sat down on the chair next to her, and said with a smile: "Rulian, Brother Chu has something to discuss with you!" ”

Rulian hurriedly said: "Brother Chu, you say!" ”

"It's not a big deal." Chu Huan said: "I just discussed with your sister Su Niang, and when outsiders ask about it in the future, they will say that you are the maid who serves my mother......!" ”

Rulian immediately said, "Brother Chu, I will serve you well...... Serving my old mother, I used to serve my teacher ......! seemed to feel that this should not be said, and blushed: "I used to serve people, I can do laundry, clean the house, cook, some can't, I ...... I can learn slowly! She said very sincerely, Chu Huan helped her many times, her gratitude to Chu Huan was beyond words, she only hoped for the opportunity to repay, not to mention that being a maid was the most bitter and tiring thing, and she was willing to do it.

Chu Li blamed: "Erlang, how can you let a girl be a maid?" We are not a big family, and my mother doesn't need to be served ......! ”

Chu Huan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mother, Rulian, don't misunderstand." Xiang Rulian said: "Rulian, Brother Chu didn't let you be a real maid, but some things will inevitably be a little troublesome to explain to outsiders in the future, so it will be much simpler." There are only four of us in the family, and in the future, Brother Chu will treat you as my own sister, and my mother is also your mother, do you know what I mean? ”

Rulian nodded, and said in a low voice: "Rulian understands, Brother Chu, thank you...... Thank you! ”

Chu Li also laughed and said, "That's it." Holding Rulian's hand, he said softly: "Girl, I will be your mother in the future, let's live together." ”

Chu Huan got up and said, "Mother, if you have something to say, there is time to turn around, I will take Rulian over to see the room first, Sister Su Niang is helping her clean up!" ”

"I'll clean it up myself." Rulian hurriedly got up.

Chu Huan smiled gently, led Chu Huan out of the room, and then lowered his voice and told Rulian about the life experience that she had just made up, Rulian showed embarrassment, and said timidly: "Brother Chu, this is ...... Isn't that a lie? Amitabha, the children of Buddhism abstain from lying ......! ”

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Rulian, you are now temporarily relegated, not a disciple of the Buddhist family, do you know?" ”

Rulian was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, and her expression looked a little gloomy.

Chu Huan sighed and said softly: "Brother Chu is also a last resort, all for your good ......!" ”

Rulian's eyes looked at Chu Huan, and he nodded solemnly: "Brother Chu, Rulian understands, you are all for Rulian's good, and when others ask about it in the future, I will say so, and I won't let people know that I am a disciple of Buddhism." Master asked me to listen to you, and I will be obedient. ”

Chu Huan saw that she was pitiful, and his heart of pity suddenly rose, and he said gently: "That's good." Don't worry, Master Lingjia asked me to take care of you, and I will take good care of you and will not let you be wronged. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "By the way, Lingjia's columbarium is on you?" ”

"In!" Rulian held her chest: "In my arms." ”

Chu Huan said softly: "I'll go back and inquire, find a time to put the ashes jar into the pagoda, do you think it's okay?" ”

Rulian hesitated for a moment before she said softly: "Brother Chu, I used to hear them say in the nunnery that if a person dies, chanting the sutra to the ashes for eighty-one days can help the souls of the dead survive the eighty-one calamities...... So......! She kept her head down, not daring to continue.

Chu Huan said softly: "Do you want to chant at Master Lingjia's columbarium?" ”

Rulian raised her head, blinked her eyes, and was full of aura: "Brother Chu, can I?" ”

"Absolutely." Chu Huan knew that this was her wish, which seemed a little ridiculous to outsiders, but in Rulian's opinion, she was helping Lingjia Master Tai to cross the tribulation, and said happily: "You have your own room, but you have to go back and worship it, if they ask, you will say that it is your mother's ashes...... You know what I mean? ”

Rulian thought that Chu Huan would not agree, after all, it is always unlucky to have ashes at home, but when she saw Chu Huan agree, she was happy and grateful, and nodded again and again: "I know, Brother Chu, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." ”

At this time, Su Niang had already twisted Xiaoman's waist over, and when she saw Rulian, sympathy arose, and she said with a smile: "Sister Rulian, come and see, I will help you clean it up, it's a little shabby, you tell me what you lack, and I'll buy it for you when I go back." ”

Rulian hurriedly said: "Thank you...... Thank you, Sister Su! ”

Su Niang smiled: "In the future, we will be a family, don't be so polite." "Come over and take Rulian's hand and go to see the room.

At dinner in the evening, in order to welcome the new members, Su Niang made a few good dishes, such as Lian is a monk, but does not eat meat, Su Niang is a little strange, and secretly thought: "Isn't the food I make delicious?" ”

Su Niang's thoughts, Chu Huan could see it at a glance, and said with a smile: "Sister Su Niang, Rulian was born not to eat meat, only vegetarian dishes." ”

Su Niang said "oh", her heart was very strange, she felt that the things in this world were really strange, this fish meat was much better than green vegetables, how could anyone not like fish.

When eating, Rulian was very shy, eating in small bites, Su Niang occasionally looked, but found that Rulian was always very elegant, and although this girl was young, her appearance was very delicate and handsome, and she suddenly remembered something in her heart, and secretly thought: "Lu Daochang said that Erlang has a peach blossom robbery, is it ...... Should it be on Rulian? Then he thought: "She is so young, and she is six or seven years different from Erlang, shouldn't she?" Then he thought, "But I have heard that there are many men and women who are very different in age and can get married?" She was thinking wildly, and others naturally didn't know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, I remembered that Chu Huan had become an official, and when I was eating, I often couldn't help but glance at Chu Huan, seeing Chu Huan's face was sharp and angular, the more I looked at it, the better it looked, and I thought to myself: "Is this the master?" But it's the same as the previous Erlang, it's no different? Well, they often say that when you see the master, you have to salute, otherwise it will be disrespectful, so do I have to salute Erlang in the future? But I'm Erlang's eldest sister-in-law, and I'm the master's sister-in-law, so ...... Do you still need to salute? "I was conflicted in my heart, and I made up my mind, and when I went back to the market to buy vegetables, I found someone to find out the style of conversation, and I had to know it in my heart.

She couldn't help but glance at Chu Huan again, but when she saw that Chu Huan also wanted to look at herself, she was suddenly frightened, lowered her head, buried her head in eating, and faintly felt a fever in her ears.

Chu Huan was puzzled, Su Niang's reaction was always a little strange these days, which made people scratch their heads.
