Jin Manyu and Sister-in-law Zhang have known each other for many years, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, although they are masters and servants, but Jin Manyu treats Sister-in-law Zhang more than everyone in the house. Sister-in-law Zhang was Chen Yan's personal girl, followed Chen Yan to learn a good martial arts, after Jin Manyu entered the house, Chen Yan found a good family for him to marry out, how can the sky not be beautiful, sister-in-law Zhang married into the mother-in-law's family and had a son, died early before the age of three, her husband then also got a strange disease, died, the mother-in-law chased Sister-in-law Zhang out, said that she was a mourning star, less than four years after the door to kill the husband and child, since then Sister-in-law Zhang alone on the street, Chen Yan occasionally met Sister-in-law Zhang, it was the lonely sister-in-law Zhang wanted to find a short time, Chen Yan did not say a word and pulled Sister-in-law Zhang back to the house。 It just so happened that Jin Manyu had Chen Xiaoqiang that year, so he was handed over to Sister-in-law Zhang to help take care of it, and after a long time, Sister-in-law Zhang, who was sullen all day and looked like a living dead, gradually got better, and now she regards Chen Xiaoqiang as her own child, and treats Chen Yan and Jin Manyu even more loyally.

After Sister-in-law Zhang left, Jin Manyu continued to slowly rub her forehead, and it was obviously a pain in her fart, but there were too many things in this fat woman's mind that needed to be planned, and no matter how painful the fart was, it was not as important as what she had in her head, so where could she take care of it.

At dinnertime, the dishes prepared by Jin Manyu for Jin Yongsheng were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but on the huge dinner table, Jin Manyu, Chen Xiaoqiang and Jin Yongsheng dined, and Sister-in-law Zhang stood aside and waited.

Facing the table full of delicacies, Jin Yongsheng, who had already changed into a plain yellow shirt, had his eyes about to fall, if he said that he was most excited about something, except for cultivation, it was to eat.

Even if it is a village banquet during the Spring Festival in Jinjiazhuang, it is not as beautiful and fine as the table in front of him, and Jin Yongsheng's saliva has long been on his lips, but seeing that Jin Manyu has not moved his chopsticks, Jin Yongsheng also tried his best to endure it, and read in his heart, grandpa said that when you go out, you must invite the elders to come first when you eat and do things.

Jin Manyu first sandwiched a piece of fish for Jin Yongsheng, and then sandwiched some cabbage for Chen Xiaoqiang and said: "Immortal, my aunt doesn't know what you like to eat, you don't have to be polite, when you come here, it's like home, come, eat, eat......"

"Auntie, this is already very good, I like it all, then I'll eat it. After Jin Yongsheng finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and put the piece of fish meat sent by Jin Manyu in his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he went directly to a red stuffy pork knuckle in front of him.

Jin Yongsheng swallowed his first bite of pork knuckle with belt meat, and when he praised the deliciousness in his heart with oily lips, he suddenly walked into the door of the restaurant uninvited, and a man with oily hair and a pink face wearing a purple and gold crown walked in uninvited.

"I heard that my sister-in-law brought back a distinguished guest? Chen was fortunate enough to come to visit him. ”

The person who came is Chen Yan's younger brother named Chen Tao, who has been loved and spoiled by his parents since he was a child, married a wife and three concubines, and did not have a son and a half daughter. Chen Tao entered the door, and his eyes fell on Jin Yongsheng first.

When Jin Manyu saw Chen Tao, his expression was a little colder, but he still forced a smile on his face and said, "It's the second brother, come on, sister-in-law Zhang, take a seat." This is Jin Yong, my distant cousin, from Jin County, and staying at home for a few days. ”

"I don't know what Jin Xian's nephew's family is doing? Chen Tao looked Jin Yongsheng up and down carefully. Jin Yongsheng was struggling with the red stuffy pork knuckle at this time.

"Second uncle, do you think everyone is like our Chen family? Jin Yongjia is a famous hunter in Jin County. Second uncle, you came to pay a visit to the distinguished guests, what kind of greeting gift did you get?" Chen Xiaoqiang saw that Jin Yongsheng only cared about eating, so he just raised his head and smirked at Chen Tao, and then took a big bite of meat, got up and said.

"This, ah, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't prepare. Chen Tao laughed dryly, and there was obvious contempt on his face.

"The second uncle is still as well-informed as ever, my mother and I just came back, and the second uncle got the news. Chen Xiaoqiang finished teasing Chen Tao in a lukewarm tone, turned to Jin Manyu and bowed his head, "Mother, I have eaten well, this dish today is not in good taste." Hey, Jin Yong, you should eat well, let's go back. ”

Jin Yongsheng overheard Chen Xiaoqiang say that he wanted him to go back with him after eating, thinking that he had just finished eating, where did he eat well?

Seeing Jin Yongsheng stunned, Jin Manyu hurriedly said: "Yong'er, after eating, you and Qiang'er can go back first, you don't have to stay here with me." ”

"Oh. That, that Yong'er retired. ”

Jin Manyu gave a send-off speech, Jin Yongsheng is not that stupid person, knowing that this Chen Tao must be the person who Jin Manyu's mother and son are more concerned about, and every family has a difficult scripture, so he had to get up and put his chopsticks, and looked at the table of delicacies and seas and waved goodbye to him.

"Hey, how can this be eaten? Nephew, if you have time to walk around my place, I will invite you to eat and drink. Chen Tao sat in Jin Yongsheng's position as he spoke, and said with a thick face, "Sister-in-law, why do you say that my nephew doesn't give me a good face every time he sees me, you see that I hid again before I could get close to him." ”

"Second brother, are you in trouble?" Jin Manyu still had that smile on his fat face.

"Ah, it's a little bit. I've been a bit strapped for money lately......"

As soon as he heard Chen Tao say that he was a little short of money, Jin Manyu immediately understood Chen Tao's thoughts here, in fact, most of the time Chen Tao came to Jin Manyu to ask for silver.

Chen Tao, who took half of the Chen family's property more than ten years ago, has gone out to single, because of his gambling addiction, and only loves to squander, he is lazy to eat, and at this time, the family in his hand has already been ruined by him, so every time he is short of money or owes gambling debts, Chen Tao will come to Chen Yan here to ask for it with a cheeky face.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, when the second brother finishes eating, take him to the account room to pay some silver. I'm tired, and my second brother uses it slowly. Jin Manyu got up and left as he spoke. Treating Chen Tao's generation, if Jin Manyu hadn't thought of her husband Chen Yan's love for being out of the same family with him, she would have beaten him out a long time ago, although she was disgusted with it in her heart, and because of her feelings, she had to act perfunctorily.

Chen Tao saw Jin Manyu walking out of the door, his face showed a ruthless look, and he scolded: "Dead fat guy, sooner or later I will make your mother and son look good." After Chen Tao finished speaking, he looked up and saw Sister-in-law Zhang looking at him with a murderous expression, and scolded: "What do you see? This house is our Chen family, you dog slaves, my eldest brother is not here, don't think that this day is the dominatrix." ”

"Second master, when the uncle is here, the heaven of this Chen Mansion is also Mrs.'s, isn't it? If you don't want to go to the account room to pay the money, I'll go back to Mrs. Sister-in-law Zhang turned around when she spoke, the second master of the Chen Mansion not only didn't like Jin Manyu, but the Chen Mansion didn't like it.

"Hey, Sister-in-law Zhang, Sister-in-law Zhang, isn't this just angry and unfair, happy and happy, you adults don't remember the villain's mistakes, support the silver, support the silver. Chen Tao immediately changed his flattering and flattering face, grabbed a piece of pastry on the table and put it in his mouth as he spoke, and followed Sister-in-law Zhang to withdraw the silver.

A good dinner was stirred up by Chen Tao like this. Jin Yongsheng, who followed Chen Xiaoqiang all the way, not to mention how annoyed he was in his heart, he was secretly resenting Chen Xiaoqiang who ate like cat food, you are full of cabbage in two bites, and my belly is still growling, but it is a pity that the pork knuckle, waste, loser, and spoiled food, Chen Xiaoqiang suddenly turned to him and said, "Go back by yourself." Then he walked straight away.

Jin Yongsheng pursed the corners of his mouth and stood in place for a while, he began to pay attention to it everywhere when he was hungry, and suddenly a few pigeons flying above his head made his eyes shine, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When he raised his hands behind his back, Jin Yongsheng turned around and walked towards the place where the pigeon flew.

If Chen Xiaoqiang knew that the pigeons he carefully kept in the garden loft had been remembered by some unscrupulous guy, he would not have left that guy wandering around the house alone. At this time, Chen Xiaoqiang had already walked quickly to the door of the huge kitchen of Chen's house, and before he could get closer, a small servant immediately ran forward with a food box and handed it to his son-in-law.

Chen Xiaoqiang didn't say much, and walked away with the food box.

After a while, in the dark passage leading to the underground secret room in the Chen Mansion, Chen Xiaoqiang held the food box in one hand and carried the two wine jars in the other hand and walked slowly forward alone.

The secret passage is nine turns and eighteen turns, all are paved with extremely hard granite, in the meantime, the secret door trap is intricate, the bottom is the circular secret room library pavilion that is enough to see the kilometer square, the book pavilion is self-contained, the lighting thing is more than a dozen fist night pearls, embedded in the bronze seat of the Danhe Chaoyang, arranged in the corners of the stone beam dome of the book pavilion, reflecting the book pavilion and the day. In the library, it is strictly forbidden to burn candles, which even Chen Xiaoqiang is extremely careful. There are not only hidden ventilation holes in the library, but also annular drainage pipes, which are perfectly designed. This secret room library is a place that few people in the Chen family know, Chen Xiaoqiang's father, Chen Yanzu, the general of the Zhuguo State, likes to collect books on the art of war, formations, chess and some martial arts secrets, so he collects them everywhere, and also specializes in repairing his storage room under the mansion. With the prestige and power of the general of the Zhu State at that time, there are countless authentic ancient books in the collection, and then they have been enriched by the descendants of the Chen family for several generations.

Since Chen Xiaoqiang can remember, the library has been guarded by a gray-haired old man with a thin and short body, a broken sword and a bunch of messy objects hanging from his waist.

Uncle Wang is mediocre in appearance, has a dull temperament, does not like words, and is always stuck in that pile of books, and his eyes are already very close to being blind, and he does not see him restrained. In addition to reading books, Uncle Wang also likes to take a sip. On weekdays, Uncle Wang's food and clothing are taken care of by an old dumb servant in the kitchen of the Chen Mansion, and there is only a small pot of wine every day, so every time Chen Xiaoqiang comes down to the secret room, he will bring some wine for the two drunkards inside.

said that there were two drunkards in it, because in addition to the pavilion keeper Wang Bo in this secret room, there was also a demon who was dedicated to tearing living things.

The adversary had been locked in two thick cast-iron bones and placed in a cage in the corner of the library with a wrist-thick steel fence more than 100 meters wide.

The devil's name is Zhong Guan, and Chen Xiaoqiang only calls him a madman every time he sees him.

Chen Xiaoqiang knew from Uncle Wang's mouth that Zhong Guan, who was locked in the pipa bone, used to be a martial arts idiot, because he practiced a very strong and fierce Yang kung fu and went crazy, and actually tore his wife and children with his bare hands, and then he became more and more crazy, seeing people killing people and tearing things, and even when he arrived in Yongcheng, no one could lower him, and then Chen Yan used tricks to lure him, and the masters of Chen Mansion did their best to suppress this guy, and it was strange to say that this madman could not die no matter how he fought, Chen Yan could not repair the cage under the secret room of Chen's mansion, and locked his pipa bone with extremely tough cast iron, afraid that he would go out and harm people everywhere。
