Chao Gai pointed to a large pile of pearl necklaces on the table, and glared at Jin Dajian: "Brother, more than 100 necklaces and bracelets, my sister-in-law asked my brother to help make them, and I am going to give them to the brothers and ladies on the day of the Duanyang Festival, as well as a few old women, otherwise, how can they wear them so much?" ”

"That's it, brother, look at how scared your sister-in-law." Li Qingzhao echoed on the side. Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, Hua Zi, Yelu Ta Li, Song Yulian, and Zhang Linger stepped forward to comfort the woman, telling interesting stories about fishing for mussels in Beihai.

Jin Dajian sensed Chao Gai's anger, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "Brother, sister-in-law, and younger brother mean that these pearls are of excellent quality and priceless. ”

"You and my brothers, share weal and woe! What are these things outside of the body? Chao Gai's face softened slightly, and he walked up to the other party and patted him on the shoulder.

Jin Dajian was moved by his heart when he listened, and he wanted to say something.

Chao covered his face and didn't give him a chance: "Hey, brother Hugh has to say more, the courtesy between them and women is still exchanged, you and my man don't ask." ”

Speaking of this, Jin Dajian couldn't refuse, smiled and said yes, nodded to his wife again, and said, "Sister-in-law sent it, then accept it", the woman dared to accept the necklace, and said to Li Qingzhao, Li Qingwan thanked her.

After Chao Gai hesitated for a moment when he saw this, his eyes motioned to Li Qingwan, Master Li and other women, and said to Jin Dajian, "You come with me", and pulled aside.

"Brother, I shouldn't have said it, you ...... to your sister-in-law"

"Brother, that woman loves to be cheap." Jin Dajian knew what Chao Gai was going to say, so he hurriedly preemptively said: "Soft and weak in front of outsiders. But usually at home, because of a little thing, I like it endlessly. ”

"That's life!" Chao Gai glared at him, shook his face and said the truth: "Respect each other like a guest, that's an outsider!" It's like when I send things to you and your wife, but you repeatedly shirk it, don't you treat me as a brother? ”

"No, no, no, no." Kim Dajian shook his head again and again.

"Then why did you refuse?" Chao Gai squinted at him and said first: "Brotherhood is not as expensive as pearls?" You just like to be polite, too much to see. And this is your family affair, and I have no right to interfere.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect. A person has advantages and disadvantages, you don't magnify your sister-in-law's shortcomings at every turn, you have to look at her advantages, such as being well-housed and well-organized. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, that's what my brother said!" Kim Dajian smiled a little awkwardly.

Chao Gai patted Jin Dajian on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother is a smart man and understands my words. In addition, my sister-in-law gave birth to a child for you, how many sins she suffered when she was pregnant, and she worked hard when she lived a hard life, but now that the living conditions are better, she is better. As a man, your own woman is not distressed, do you want others to help......"

"How dare he? Lao Tzu killed him. ”

: That's not it, it's not a shame for a man to be soft at home, and everything ......is prosperous at home."

Under the same roof, Chao Gai had heard of Jin Dajian yelling at his wife at every turn, pointing fingers, like an uncle. It's not that I don't like my wife, to put it bluntly, it's machismo.

As an outsider, I shouldn't have said much, but I happened to meet it. Just advise. Quoting scriptures, it is said that the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Dao, the Tang Dynasty Fang Xuanling and other celebrity deeds, but also said that some women suffered in October when they were pregnant, and childbirth was like half a foot stepping into the ghost gate. In short, it is to persuade Jin Dajian to be kind to his wife.

This effect is still very obvious, when the two entered the courtyard, Jin Dajian walked up to his wife and squeezed his eyebrows, as if apologizing.

"Brother, remember to go to heaven and earth for a banquet at night."

Chao Gai didn't stay much and said goodbye to Jin Dajian and his wife. took his wife with a large bag and a small bag, and left with Guo Sheng, Chao Qiang and others.

He always felt that the eyes of the ladies had changed when they looked at him, and it was a little weird. It wasn't until Guo Sheng and Chao Qiang left that no one said anything.

"Sister-in-law Jin is so pitiful!" Seeing that there was no one around, Shi Shiran sighed.

Li Qingwan, Hu Sanniang, and Yelu Tali felt the same way, and followed suit. said that the man didn't dare to accept it if he didn't nod, and Sister-in-law Jin was always scolded by Master Jin or something, and then she didn't know how to spend more than ten years.

Several women had self-emotion about what they had seen and heard, and they couldn't stop talking. As he spoke, somehow, he pointed the finger at Chao Gai.

"Husband, will you do this to us?"

"Like, what did you just mumble about?"

Chao Gai couldn't speak all the time, but he still couldn't hide, and he was a little annoyed: "Don't be unreasonable!" I'm a person who doesn't like to talk, just hands-on. Master Jin's approach is very good, women, you have to discipline well. ”

Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and Yelu Dali were angry when they heard it. Either frowning or grinning, and the gaze is not good. I wanted to join forces to fight, but when I heard the next words, I died down.

Because Chao Gai turned around and looked at several women seriously, with a serious attitude: "You guys, you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, and you always let your temperament come." Learn more, mature and elegant. If you continue to bully me like this, you will bully me at every turn. I really asked Master Jin for a few tricks, yelling at five and six, and pointing fingers. ”

"You... Hum. Li Qingwan, Master Li looked at Chao Gai angrily.

"Husband, I'm angry and ignore you." Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and Yelu Dali are three women who glared angrily or turned their heads and ignored them.

Only Li Qingzhao looked at this scene with a smile!

……

Chaofu, there are twenty or thirty courtyards of all sizes, and the number has been more since the rebuilding and expansion. Some of the commander's family members went to Shuibo Liangshan, and many of them remained.

For example, the knife ghost Cao Zheng came to Chaojiazhuang for more than a month, and after careful diagnosis and treatment by the divine doctor An Daoquan, the injured 7788 couldn't help but go to the back kitchen every day to help kill pigs and sheep, or find someone to practice martial arts.

"Brother Cao Zheng!" Chao Gai led a few ladies to another small courtyard. As soon as I entered, I happened to see this big man dancing the pig-killing knife and practicing martial arts.

"Brother is here?" Cao Zheng turned his head when he heard the shout, and saw that it was Chao Gai who was overjoyed. hurriedly greeted him and shouted into the room, "Hun family, come out quickly."

"Oh, what are you calling every day?" Tok's loud voice came from the room. After rushing out quickly, he was a little embarrassed to see Chao Gai coming with his wife, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at Cao Zheng, muttering, "You didn't say it earlier."

Cao Zheng, the big man, laughed and didn't answer.

"Hahaha, brother, brother and sister, it was Chao Gai who took the liberty to disturb." Chao Gai didn't think it was funny when he saw this, and after glancing at the girls, he stepped forward to greet the couple, talked a few words, and learned that Du Yin went to the restaurant to study.

"Brother, come into the house and sit down and have a cup of tea." Mr. and Mrs. Cao Zheng warmly invited.

"No, let's come and see my brother and sister for the holidays." Chao Gai hurriedly waved his hand. Master Li and Hu Sanniang stepped forward, the former took a pearl necklace from his bag, and the latter took out a bracelet and stuffed it into Du's hand.

"Sister, there's nothing to give, come back from Beihai, these are for you."

"Oh, two sisters, how does this work?" Du Shi exclaimed in surprise when he saw the necklace and bracelet, and after taking it, he liked it very much, but pushed it back.

Master Li, where is Hu Sanniang willing to ask for it? Concessions to each other.

Cao Zheng, who didn't dare to fart before, glared at his eyes and reprimanded his wife: "You mother-in-law, your sister-in-law will give it to you, you can take it, and if you like it, you will be humble." My brother is here, I don't know anything, I'm too outside, isn't it? ”

"Yes, my brother and sister take it away, it's my sister-in-law's heart, don't refuse." Chao Gai saw that the woman was about to cross her waist and glare, so he hurriedly stepped forward to play a round.

"Then thank you to the two sisters, it's pretty beautiful." Du Shi glared at Cao Zheng fiercely, and then happily accepted the necklace and thanked him again and again.

"Okay, let's take our leave, brother and sister be lighter." Chao Gai smiled meaningfully, and in the stunned eyes of Cao Zheng and his wife, he left with his wife.

"Madam, listen to me, I was in a hurry just now......"

"Okay, Cao Daring, you dare to reprimand me?"

Not long after, in the courtyard behind him, Cao Zheng's begging for mercy sounded with Du's shouting and scolding. The sound grew quieter and quieter until the slamming door closed and disappeared.

"Hey, Brother Cao is so pitiful......" Hua Zi sighed again, but she felt that something was wrong and stopped, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi and other women also had strange faces. Cao Zheng and his wife are diametrically opposed to the previous Jin Dajian couple.

"Hey, in fact, everyone loves in a different way." Chao Gai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Let's go, continue to give gifts, you also know more!"

In addition to the people who came over, Li Qingzhao, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi and other women nodded heavily.

The group went to the small courtyard of the Holy Hand scholar Xiao Rang and his wife.

Xiao Rang happened to be at home during the holidays, and he was with his wife to teach the children calligraphy. Mrs. Xiao was a plainly dressed peasant woman in her thirties. But he has a good self-cultivation, talks extraordinary, and complements Xiao Rang.

Huazi, Yelu Taripo gave a necklace, a bracelet, and said goodbye after talking.

Next, Chao Gai led several ladies to Liangshan by boat. Visited Lin Chong and his wife, Xu Ning and his wife, Ruan Xiaoer and his wife, Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu, and gave gifts after chatting a few words.

It was noon to visit and talk one after another, and Chao Gai looked curiously at the women behind him: "Ladies, how do you feel along the way?" ”

Li Qingzhao kept laughing, but he laughed and didn't say anything! Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and Yelu Dali are a little unable to talk about it.

Lin Chong's lady is gentle and virtuous, and she is generous, while Xu Ning's lady is considerate and considerate, husband and child. Ruan Xiaoer's wife is very good, but she is stubborn. The two couples are flirting, and the intimacy is the most obvious.

Every home feels different, but it's very sweet.

Chao Gai seemed to have a smile on his face, Li Qingwan stared and pouted: "Look at your smug appearance, you are right, the methods of love are different." ”

"Love! What is like a respect? What's so romantic and sweet? It's just a familiar process, mutual tolerance, mutual understanding. Since I accept you, I accept everything, including your shortcomings. Let's go, it's noon, today, go to my mother's for a meal! ”

Chao Gai's words were very philosophical and made several women fall into thought. Looking at a few women who were a little confused, he smiled and walked in the front. Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang and others followed closely as if they didn't understand.

At the same time, a horse-drawn carriage arrived from the east and slowly drove into Chaojiazhuang......
