The newlyweds reunited after a long absence, and the young couple lingered to death, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, in the embroidered quilt, on the mandarin duck pillow, the young couple talked privately.

"During the time I wasn't there, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were okay."

Dong Mingyan was still flushed, Chen Yuan's savings for a year showed that the battle was fierce. She said softly, "Dad, they're all right, mother-"

Chen Yuanqi said: "What's wrong with my mother-in-law-"

Dong Mingyan glanced at Xianggong carefully, and said carefully: "It's not a big deal, just say where you go-just say how about us, say Xianggong, you are a big official, I am a command, Xianggong, you also know the mother's character, two months ago she went to Wangchunfang to sit idle, embroidery with everyone, and the mother talked about us again, provoked a noble woman, the woman because the mother had no identity, kicked the mother out, the mother went back and got angry, ran to me, asked me to help her out——"

Chen Yuan frowned, this mother-in-law is still a small citizen, and she doesn't know how thick the sky is.

"I know it's not easy for my father-in-law, so don't worry about my mother's affairs, it's good for her to suffer a loss."

Her words surprised Chen Yuan, she didn't dare to disobey her mother's words before, but now she knows how to help herself: "Nanjing Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, even our mother and we have warned us to be careful, my mother-in-law is straightforward and fast-talking, it is inevitable to offend people, didn't he go to find the second brother?" ”

"Where are you going? The second brother listened to Xianggong's words, and he has always been very cautious, and there are many big officials in Jinyiwei's prison, and he no longer dares to be frivolous like before. However, before the second brother went home every three or five times, now he doesn't dare to go home-"

Dong Ming moved his body, Chen Yuan covered the quilt, and just returned to Nanjing, the February morning was still a little cold.

"The second brother is twenty years old this year, the eldest is not small, he refuses to start a family, his mother is crazy, let him be small, the key is to start a family."

Chen Yuan smiled dumbly, these days, twenty years old is not a small one, and some modern forty-year-olds still say that they are girls and guys, and he is still a child, this sentence is funny when you think about it.

"When I see him when I look back, ask him what he thinks, twenty years old is not big, he can calm down now, focus on his career, it is a great progress, less family to worry about." Chen Yuan said softly.

Dong Mingyan snorted, and said: "It's spring ploughing again, thirty acres of land, we can't plant so much, do we want to rent some to tenants, we can't let the fields be barren." With so many people in the family, the servants have a lot of expenses, and some relatives often come and go. The amount of money that is not enough for the public is far from enough to spend. ”

She is right, the Ming Dynasty's Yulu is very low, and there is almost no vacation throughout the year, the vacation is later Zhengde began to implement, high salaries and incorruptible, officials are a large family, that meager Yulu, the early Ming Dynasty officials themselves can't support themselves, so they are desperate to fight corruption.

Of course, high salaries and pensions should not be too high. During the Song Renzong period, it was too high, and the salary of officials in the Song Dynasty was the highest in ancient China, so that the burden on the people was extremely heavy, and the redundancy of officials was serious, but they lost the battle again and again. Even the little Western Xia can't beat it.

"Yes, the planting of sweet potatoes has been completed, there is no need to plant too much, just plant a little bit of fresh food, leave ten acres to arrange by yourself, in case you want to use them, the other twenty acres, rent to the tenants who want them, the rent is appropriate, these will be arranged by Mrs. You."

Chen Yuan stroked her hair and said gently: "The family matter, I have worked hard for you." ”

For those relatives who are not familiar at all, Chen Yuan doesn't want to pay attention to them at all, but the old lady's face is there, and he can't cut off his relatives in one go, these headaches are handled by Dong Mingyan at home, and he can rest assured to think about the affairs of the court.

Dong Mingyan didn't dare to resist her mother, she had some bad shortcomings, but her advantages were that she could endure, be patient, arrange housework in an orderly manner, and have the demeanor of a housewife.

"Also, the eldest brother wrote a letter a year ago, and the pharmacy in Shuntian has been open for half a year, and the business is very good, and he also brought five hundred taels of silver, saying that it was for Xianggong to share. I kept one hundred taels to subsidize the family, and the rest was given to the eldest brother to go back a little, the store opened not long ago, and still needed capital turnover, and the eldest brother also needed money at this time. ”

"You did the right thing, we don't need that money for the time being, and when the eldest brother runs the business well, we won't have to worry about running out of money." When are people in need of medicinal materials, the eldest brother is in Shuntian, be cautious, and if you encounter any difficulties, let him write a letter. Matters involving officialdom, just let me handle it. ”

"Xianggong, actually-" Dong Mingyan was very moved, since he was forced into trouble by his parents, he considered himself, she remembered him in her heart, and later he helped her brother rehabilitate and shine, which made her fall in love and become a family, he is not like other men, he always whispers to himself, never blames, and feels happy at the same time, she wants to stop talking.

"What's wrong?"

"Xianggong, my mother treated you like that before, and also, and I - isn't Xianggong blamed?" She finally mustered up the courage to speak out, and hung her head, not daring to look at her father-in-law.

In the past, Chen Yuan hated the Zhao family very much, but after marrying someone else's daughter, he smiled and said gently: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, those things are in the past, fool, we are now a family, I have long forgotten about them, and one day you will help me give birth to a big fat boy——"

"Xianggong-" Dong Mingyan's fair face suddenly appeared with a flush, and her eyes were like silk, delicate and charming.

In the early morning, where could Chen Yuan endure it, he immediately went to morning exercise-

Wholehearted devotion makes people feel infinitely fulfilled and satisfied. Then he fell into a deep sleep.

When I was fighting abroad, I almost never slept well, the environment was not good, and there were many big and small things. Now when I get home, I throw away all my troubles, and I sleep so sweetly until the sun has risen to the middle, Chen Yuan suddenly woke up, he opened his eyes, and saw Dong Mingyan wearing a small coat and a quilt, sitting next to him and gently pushing him: "Xianggong, it's time to get up, Xianggong, the sun is three poles, my mother has already arranged breakfast."

Chen Yuan looked out the window lazily, a burst of light stabbed, came back to his senses, damn, I haven't slept for a long time. He stood up with a carp, Dong Mingyan had already taken his clothes and waited for him to put them on, her face was dizzy, and the charm of a young woman was breathtaking.

Outside, Chunhua was instigating Fan Zhong to call Chen Yuan to get up: "The sun is drying your buttocks, the young master is really lazy, he hasn't gotten up yet, and the food will be cold after a while, Brother Fan, you go and call the young master." ”

When Fan Zhong was in the army, he often heard them talk about the topic of color, and he was twenty years old, so he naturally knew the things of men and women, and when they were separated from each other for a long time, what to do when they went to quarrel with others, he muttered: "Why don't you go, ouch, Chunhua, why is your face so red?" ”

"Well, uh, maybe it's in the sun."

"Really?" Fan Zhonghu looked at the sky suspiciously, and muttered, "Why was your face so red last night?" Is it sick? He didn't react, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Hu-nonsense, how can I have?" Chunhua screamed and jumped away like stepping on a snake, and said hurriedly, "You must have seen it wrong, yes, you saw it wrong-" The girl was very ignorant, although she didn't understand at first, she often listened to Aunt Ma talk about some men's topics, and then gradually realized what she had touched, she was ashamed and ashamed, and she didn't sleep all night. Fortunately, I was young, and I didn't feel unrefreshed when I slept one night less, but from time to time I still remembered last night, and that little face was as red as an apple.

"Uh, is that wrong?" Fan Zhong touched the back of his head and looked at Liang Fu who came over, Liang Fu looked indifferent, as if he didn't know anything.

"Young Master, you're here." At this time, Chen Yuan and they came out, and Liang Fu said.

"Ah, I'm going to prepare chopsticks—" Spring Flower ran away like a mouse that had touched a cat.

Fan Zhong touched his chin, looked at this suspiciously, looked at that, didn't she set the chopsticks earlier? Also, in that direction, it's not going to the dining room, right-
