Chen Xiaonian frowned.

Didn't the shopkeeper Liu say that the old man of the Chen family went to Liangzhou City, why did he build a house in the county seat?

She thought about the problem as she neatly put the bowl away.

Although Erlang didn't say anything, something seemed to flash quickly in his eyes.

It was still early, Chen Xiaonian and Erlang found a medical center, and after explaining their intentions, the shopkeeper of the medical center was surprised.

"Where? Let me see? ”

Jiro opened the sack and pulled the porcupine out.

"Wow! Good guys, such a big one. ”

The shopkeeper had some difficulty picking up the big things, and looked at them left and right several times.

"Big brother, how much do you sell this?"

Jiro couldn't say anything, but the two had already negotiated the price when they came. Chen Xiaonian was just about to speak, but Erlang had already compared a number.

"Ten taels?"

The shopkeeper put down the porcupine stupidly, "You guys are asking for a lot of money, do you really treat me as a big wrong?" Don't, don't. ”

Erlang didn't say anything anymore, picked up the sack, pulled the little daughter-in-law and turned around and left.

Walking out of the medical hall, Chen Xiaonian asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say five taels, how can you double it and say ten taels?" ”

Jiro glanced at her sideways, as if he was looking at a fool.

Chen Xiaonian couldn't cry or laugh.

When he arrived at the second medical center, Erlang added two taels instead. In the next three or four houses, Erlang's asking price was two taels more than before, and he almost didn't let the shopkeeper blow them out.

Chen Xiaonian was a little deflated, "Why don't we go back?" When you get to the town, it's cheaper and you can sell it. ”

After getting into the carriage and not leaving for a long time, Chen Xiaonian lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiro didn't reply to him, just sat in front of him, as if waiting for someone.

Chen Xiaonian was puzzled, and wanted to ask again, but at this moment, a young man came running in front of her, and she recognized it at a glance, this was the guy from the first medical hall.

"Is your porcupine still there?"

Jiro nodded, comparing a number.

"Twenty taels!"

The man's eyes widened, "Why are you shouting for twenty taels now?" ”

Jiro ignored him and made a gesture to drive away.

The guy stopped him, "Ten taels!" My shopkeeper only gave me ten taels of silver, can you sell it? ”

While still muttering, "Twenty taels? Why don't you grab it? ”

Chen Xiaonian saw Erlang's intentions, and pretended to be kind and said good things, "Xianggong, or sell it, right?" The child is still waiting at home. ”

As soon as the words came out, Chen Xiaonian was stunned, raised his eyes and looked over, and saw Erlang's calm eyes, and turned up lust.

"It's been sold, it's been sold, and your lady said she was going home in a hurry."

The guy hurriedly took out the money and handed it to Erlang, and took the sack to resist. The porcupine's skewer pierced out the sack, piercing the boy's teeth.

The bad guy gave ten taels, and Chen Xiaonian still wanted Erlang to help send it, but he didn't expect Erlang to pat the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran away, almost not throwing Chen Xiaonian into the carriage.

She sat down and shouted Erlang. "You don't have to rush so much, it's too late!"

The Chen family is a fart, and he just wants to go home right now.

The child is still waiting at home!

When he arrived in the town, the fire in Erlang's body had been suppressed, and Chen Xiaonian came to Fuchun Restaurant, and as soon as he stepped in, he was shouted by the guy to go to the back kitchen.

"Where's your shopkeeper?"

"I already went to the Chen family to help an hour ago, Miss Xiao Nian, hurry up, I heard that the Chen family invited a lot of people today."

It really couldn't be delayed any longer, Chen Xiaonian said hello to Erlang, and hurried to the back kitchen.

Erlang, who said that he was waiting in the carriage, turned a corner, and the person disappeared again.

Chen.

The front hall is lively, the old man of the Chen family is proud and high-spirited, and the young master Chen is greedy for liveliness, and you chase me with whose children, so scared that the old lady Chen chased after her and protected her.

After running two laps, I couldn't run, and after handing over the scene to Mr. Chen, the old lady was helped by Mama Zhang to go back to the house to rest for a while.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw that the incense burner on the table had been moved, and the old lady made a move and found an excuse to take Zhang's mother away.

"Why are you here again?"

Old Madam Chen shouted at the empty room, her words full of dissatisfaction.

"Why can't I come?"

The voice came out of the inner room, and the old lady's heart beat faster.

"You...... Didn't you promise me last time that after helping you solve the matter, the two of us will clear it up? ”

The people inside sneered and said, "Just two hundred taels of silver, do you really think you can clear it twice?" ”

Old Madam Chen's hand holding the table suddenly tightened.

"What else do you want to do?"

He walked out of the inner room, his sharp eyes only glanced at her, and Old Madam Chen was already a little panicked.

"I, or I'll give you another two hundred taels?"

Old Madam Chen gritted her teeth, "The Chen family has been working up and down all these years, and for your business, this yamen also took two hundred taels from me, and I don't have any more." ”

"Then thank you, old lady."

He happily agreed, and the next sentence made Old Madam Chen's heart lift.

"I heard that your son has an official position and is going to Liangzhou City?"

"Nonsense! Today is my daughter-in-law who is pregnant again, so it's just a banquet. My son and daughter-in-law have a very good relationship, even if my daughter-in-law has not been pregnant for many years, she has never thought of taking a concubine. ”

His eyebrows furrowed, and he still said the same thing.

"Officialdom is not for your son. Great Qi Imperial Court...... It is less mixed and subtle. ”

The dislike and contempt in his words were so obvious that it seemed that the court did not take it into account at all.

Also, a person like him, even if it's ......

Old Madam Chen collected her thoughts and took out two hundred taels of cash from her closet. I wanted to throw it to him, but I really didn't have the guts, so I had to send it to him respectfully.

"Your little lady doesn't know your identity yet, does she? Since Chen is married, he will accept his heart, Xiao Nian is a good girl, don't let down others again. ”

Glancing at him, the old lady turned and went out the door.

In the past, the dishes were more complicated and took longer, but today's dishes are simpler, the two chefs have been in charge of the kitchen for many years, and Chen Xiaonian gently tapped them and got the hang of it.

After teaching the dishes, Chen Xiaonian had just walked out of the restaurant, but was stopped.

"You are Chen Xiaonian?"

Looking at the person in front of him, Chen Xiaonian cautiously stepped back, looked out, and didn't see Erlang.

"Who are you?"

"Yo! What happened to the pavilion master? My shopkeeper is not here today, and it is the same if you have something to tell me. ”

The man recognized him at a glance and ran over with twelve points of courtesy.

Chen Xiaonian's eyebrows jumped, it turned out that this was the pavilion chief of the town's yamen, Feng Wei.

Feng Wei smiled kindly, "Busy with you, I'll talk to Miss Xiao Nian about something." ”

Chen Xiaonian's eyebrows jumped again.

"What do you want me to do?"

Feng Wei gathered his kindness towards his partner, "Jian Erlang is your father-in-law, right?" ”
