Chapter 20: Sister-in-law's Family Affairs (Second Watch)
Sister-in-law Wang is recognized as the best person in Hongmen Village, with a good needlework, thin and dense stitches, and among the women who help Chen Mo make balloons, she faintly acts as a leader. Chen Mo suspected that the closing of the balloon was too large, which caused the hot air balloon to fail to fly, so he sent someone to call her over early the next morning after the second failure.
"Sister-in-law Wang, we want to shrink the closing of the balloon to one zhang square, you are an expert in this area, can you finish it in about two days?"
As soon as he saw Sister-in-law Wang, Chen Mo asked straight to the point, and at the same time pointed to Feng Bao's bed opposite and motioned for her to sit down and talk. It's already twenty-seven, and there are still three days to go before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and both he and Zhu Yihua Feng Bao hope that the hot air balloon can be successfully tested before Chinese New Year's Eve - although those two people already feel that success is very slim.
Chen is kind and kind, and his identity is a eunuch, so even if there are only two of them in the house, Sister-in-law Wang does not feel cramped, and when she heard this, she patted the towering chest bunk and said with a smile: "Isn't it just shrunk to a square circle?" Gonggong Chen can rest assured that it is wrapped up in the slave family. ”
Sister-in-law Wang's apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, her posture is medium and upper, she always cares about the saying "there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door" on weekdays, and she always has a cold face, since she beat her husband and died of illness, she was the most relaxed when she talked to Caiyu and Chen Mo in the past two days.
It is human nature to love beauty, she went out to see "Chen Gonggong", although she had no other ideas, she still deliberately dressed up, wearing a Yuanqing semi-white pleated skirt on her lower body, wearing a moon-white pale pink fine flower collar jacket on her upper body, her face was plain powder, and her eyebrows were painted on distant mountains. Chen Mo's body was still a young man, and his blood was surging, so he quickly looked away, for fear that his nose would be red and ugly.
Sister-in-law Wang was from the past, and when she saw Chen Mo's face flushed, she didn't feel shy, but she felt funny, and deliberately teased him: "Why doesn't my father-in-law look at the slave family?" Yes, my father-in-law has seen the world in the imperial city, and the slave family is a vulgar fan, I'm afraid it will scare my father-in-law, right? ”
Chen Mo gritted his teeth secretly angrily, and pulled the quilt covering his lap upward: "Sister-in-law Wang, don't laugh at us......" If you let you know that we are also people with "guns", see how arrogant you are?
In fact, even Sister-in-law Wang didn't know why she was teasing Chen Mo, seeing Chen Mo with his head stuffy, he didn't dare to look at himself with his hand on his crotch, he looked very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to go too far, so he stopped and changed the topic: "Okay, don't tease my father-in-law...... The father-in-law's business is wrapped up in the slave family, and the slave family also wants to ask the father-in-law to do a favor......"
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "You said, as long as we can help, we will never refuse." ”
"The father-in-law is so good-looking, the slave family really didn't misunderstand you......" Sister-in-law's house is close to the mausoleum area, and she is used to seeing the faces of the high-spirited eunuchs and sergeants in the mausoleum prison, and at this moment, listening to Chen Mo's promise, she couldn't help but sigh a little: "From the time you really gave us every piece of silver, the slave family knew that the father-in-law was a good person......
"Let's get down to business!" Being complimented by a pretty widow, and the taste of being able to only look at it and not move was very unbearable, Chen Mo couldn't help but interrupt Sister-in-law Wang.
"That's the case," Sister-in-law Wang hurriedly returned to the topic: "A few days ago, there was a girl from the slave family, and she was like a fairy, so she asked the slave family to take her in, saying that the brother in charge didn't like her and always bullied her, and her mother didn't dare to call the shots, so she ran out because she couldn't stand it...... The slave family is thinking about the grievances of the people who are also the golden branches and jade leaves, and the grievances of always eating bran vegetables here in the slave family, the father-in-law is smart, and he can even figure out the fan and the big hole lantern, can you think of a way......"
"Is her name Caiyu?"
Sister-in-law Wang was stunned: "How do you know?" ”
That's right, no wonder Zhu Yihua couldn't find it everywhere, it turned out that he was hidden in the widow's house, and he really had nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it.
Chen Mo was secretly happy and said: "This girl came here with us, we naturally know, we also know that the palm print Yin Gonggong here wanted to dedicate him to King Lu, but she ran away......
"Why run?" Sister-in-law Wang interrupted Chen Mo with some puzzlement: "King Lu, that's the younger brother of the Long Live Lord, I really want to follow him, with the posture and temperament of the Caiyu girl, be a proper princess ......."
"You don't understand," Chen Mo interrupted Wang's sister-in-law, "Miss Caiyu is a high-spirited person, let's guess she must have known that King Lu has a bad reputation and disdains to obey him, so she ran away." ”
Sister-in-law Wang looked very sorry between her eyebrows, and said twice: "It's a pity, if you have a bad reputation, you have a bad reputation, but it's a pity that the slave family is a widow, and King Lu will definitely look down on the slave family, otherwise, the slave family, the slave family ......" In the end, Rao thought that Chen Mo was a "father-in-law", and it was not easy to say the words "self-recommended pillow".
Everyone has their own aspirations, Chen Mo did not despise Sister-in-law Wang because of this, but felt that this woman was straightforward and honest-everyone could talk about the truth, but there were not many people who really dared to declare their private thoughts in their hearts.
"Don't be embarrassed, we have seen a lot of unfavored concubines in the palace, to put it mildly, widows, especially those who are so good-looking like you, are you having a good life? If it weren't for the great grandfather who established the country with virtue and was despised for remarrying, who would want to stay alone in an empty house and be a widow? ”
"It can be said that the dead ghost of the slave family, who has not had a good day since he followed the slave family, beat and scolded, died, and owed a lot of debts...... His eldest brother is not a good thing, he has been rude several times, and the last time it wasn't for the slave family who bit him desperately, and shouted for help to scare him away, he almost succeeded...... The slave family is miserable! Chen Mo's words touched Sister-in-law Wang's heart, which made her suddenly feel like she had met a confidant for the first time, and some secrets that she had never told outsiders on weekdays actually said them in one go.
"Who is his eldest brother, why don't you go to the patriarch?"
"What's the use of telling him, the chief is the patriarch, and he grew up with his eldest brother wearing open crotch pants, and he is the same as his own brother...... The lieutenant looked at the slave family with a wrong look, and told him that he was just a shame. Besides, even if his eldest brother really succeeds, it is the slave family who is ashamed, he has been caught stealing people, and finally bites back, saying that the woman seduced him, and the woman was immersed in the pig cage...... Father-in-law, you said, why are we women so miserable? ”
Although Chen Mo is proficient in history, he is only a written understanding of the "evil feudal society", and now he listens to the sister-in-law Wang tell about the misery of women at the bottom, and he can't help but be moved and angry.
It's just that he is now incapacitated, and he is guilty, and he can't promise anything to his sister-in-law, so he only pressed his anger back into his chest and abdomen, stared at each other without a moment's eye, and said word by word: "Don't worry, sooner or later, someone will clean him up!" ”
"Really?" Sister-in-law Wang had already inquired about Chen Mo's current situation, and said that these were just a temporary fate, and she vented it, but she didn't take it to heart when she heard the words, and suddenly smiled: "Why did it get involved with the slave family, let my father-in-law laugh, let's talk about Caiyu, does my father-in-law have a way to help her?" ”
