Seeing this, Zhang Meng hurriedly greeted him and invited a few people to sit in the hall.

A table was also set up in the hall, where the Chen patriarch Jiang Laohan and several respected people were seated.

Of course, the two showmen are also there.

Everyone saluted each other, and the Chu patriarch looked at Li Xu several times.

It's a pity that this young child is from a foreign country, and he refuses to marry a wife here, otherwise, it is most suitable for Chu Yan to marry him.

Take another look at Chen Changping.

Well, he's still more reliable.

What kind of character their own children are, they know best as elders, although Chen Changping is a widower and has several children, he is old and calm, maybe he can tolerate Chu Yan's temper.

Moreover, Chu Yan is young and relatively beautiful, so she should be able to win the love of this talented man.

Patriarch Chu thought so, and secretly glanced at Jiang Laohan again.

The children of the Jiang family are not bad, but unfortunately Chu Yan doesn't know how to cherish it, and ruins the good marriage.

Jiang Laohan didn't want to deal with the Chu family at all, so he didn't even look at him, and only talked to Chen Sanyou, the patriarch of Chen, and his master.

Today's most leisurely person is Yingbao, she took her younger brother Jiang Wu and Huzi to see Chu Chu's little girl, and then went to the martial arts field to practice fighting.

Although Jiang Wu is only five years old, he is agile and has great hand strength, and Ying Bao is not his opponent at all.

After being thrown several times, Sakura was discouraged and sat on the sidelines to watch Huzi practice with his younger brother.

"Huzi!" Erni ran over and beckoned to Huzi: "Follow me!" ”

Huzi ignored his sister and practiced with Jiang Wu by himself.

Erni pulled him and said in a low voice, "Come with me to see A-Niang." ”

Huzi struggled: "Don't go, don't go!" ”

He was extremely unfamiliar with that A-Niang, and he didn't want to see her at all.

Erni begged: "Huzi, just go and take a look with your sister." ”

Huzi still refused, got rid of his sister and ran away.

He already regards Yan Ru as his mother, and Yan Ru Niang's clothing, food, housing and transportation are carefully taken care of.

Although the previous mother vaguely remembered something, he really didn't want to see her.

Erni watched her younger brother run away in frustration, so she had to go to see the Leng family alone.

Now the Leng family lives in two thatched huts that Erni paid for her, some distance from the village and not far from several farmer families.

Many families in Dongchen Village rent their fields to others for farming, so there are many hired farmers living outside the village.

These hired peasants dragged their families and built shacks or thatched huts next to the farmland, scattered and scattered, there were about a dozen households, and the Leng family lived near them, occasionally chatting and talking with the hired peasant ladies, and their lives were stable.

Erni also plans to send some seeds to Leng's next year, so that she can also support herself and rely on her old age.

Jiang Erlang also knew about this, but he didn't interfere with the child's filial piety, so he just told his daughter that he couldn't take Leng home, let alone hurt her stepmother.

Erni naturally agreed.

Yan Runiang is very good to her sister and brother, and she is not an ungrateful person, how can she hurt her.

Sakura Po practiced with his brother for a while, and then took him home.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and soon the ground was covered with a thin layer of silvery white.

Ying Bao didn't go to Chu Chu's house to sit down, she used a small charcoal stove to make two bowls of dragon beard noodles, and two poached eggs lay on the noodle bowl, and she and her younger brother ate and drank to their heart's content, and went back to their rooms to rest.

In the cave, Sakura Bao planted a large number of golden fungus and snow fungus, a total of 4,000 plants.

These mushrooms grow very fast in the cave, and the condition is also very good, all of them are crystal clear, not like ordinary things.

Nowadays, around the pond, in addition to the black soil, the rest of the places are placed with fungus racks and fungus jars, and there are large bamboo plaques.

On the luminous body, around the pupil spring, grapes, apples, peaches, lychees, mandarins, etc. are planted.

Grapes, peaches and apples were planted early, and they are already flowering and bearing fruit.

Lychee, honey, mandarin papaya, etc., are still small seedlings that have just grown.

Sakura was worried that the fruit trees would grow too tall to bloom, so he pruned them early to keep the height of the tree below half a zhang.

The original two giant apple trees have also been pruned and are now growing steadily and are beginning to bear fruit.

So you don't have to work hard to pick your own fruit at this time, you just need to step on a stool.

Sakura picked a basket of apples, a basket of peaches, and a basket of grapes and put it away.

She was going to continue to boil peach juice, so she used the water from Pupil Spring, because Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu both liked to drink it.

Grapes are used to make wine.

The second cousin Jiang Quan had already helped her inquire about the brewing method of fruit wine, and some time ago she had brewed a few jars of peach wine, which was buried under the peach tree.

Cut the grapes one by one, wash them, dry them and then pour them into a clean bowl and crush them.

Add the koji and icing sugar and melt slowly.

The grape pulp is then placed in clay pots, covered and allowed to ferment for fifteen days.

After waiting for more than ten days, scoop out the grape skins floating on the grape pulp, and then filter the grape pulp with gauze.

Pour the grape pulp back into a clean jar and seal it, dig a pit and bury it in the soil.

After two months of fermentation, the wine is finished.

After that, the longer the fermentation time, the more mellow and intense the wine becomes, which is how wine is made.

Sakura made three jars of grape pulp in one go, covered them with lids, and waited for them to ferment.

Coming out of the cave, Sakura felt very tired, so he quickly boiled water to wash and lie down.

Have a good night's sleep until you wake up the next morning.

Sakura got up and gently pushed open a little sash.

I saw a white expanse outside the window, all covered with snow.

The snow was not thick, but it was about the ankle point.

But the weather was very cold, and the cold wind blew on the face and was uncomfortable, so Sakura quickly closed the window.

I took out a cotton coat and pants from the box and put them on, and I heard someone talking outside.

It turned out to be Aunt Wang, and she came early in the morning to talk to Chunniang about gossip.

"Oh Chun Niang, it's amazing, our village... No, there's a big scandal in the West Village. ”

Second Aunt Wang couldn't suppress her excitement, and said to Chunniang: "That girl in Chujia Village is actually entangled with Chen Changping, tsk, it's in the haystack at the entrance of the village, oops, many people have seen it..."

Chun Niang glanced at her daughter's house and said in a low voice: "Second aunt, you are quiet, the children are all at home." ”

"Yes, yes." Second Aunt Wang lowered her voice and said, "Chen Fengshi is angry, the one standing at the door is scolding, the scolding is ugly." Hey! Chun Niang, if you don't go and take a look, then Chen Fengshi almost pointed at the Chu family's girl's nose and scolded her for being a slut. ”

"Really?" Chunniang was also curious, and pulled Aunt Wang out: "Go and take a look." ”

Sakura Po was more curious.

She pricked up her ears and listened energetically, but Aunt Wang left.

not only left, but also abducted A-Niang.

Sakura put on her little cotton shoes and ran out of the door.

After thinking about it, he picked up a small broom, swept the snow from the stairs, climbed the fence of his house, and looked towards the West Village.

The snow has stopped this morning, and the sky is blue and cloudless.

Many people in the village are running to the West Village one after another, probably to see the excitement.

Sakura stood on tiptoe and tried to look west, but she could only see a faint figure, and she couldn't see it very really.

But there seemed to be a woman's crying and scolding in the wind.

Sakura shook her head and got off the wall.

She could guess with her toes that this scandal was definitely caused by the Chu family.

The Chu family's grandson wanted a talented man to be his son-in-law, but the concubine only had Chu Yan, an unmarried girl of the right age and good looks.

Not only that, this Chu Yan is also the daughter of Muramasa and the granddaughter of the Chu patriarch.

The most important thing is that Chu Yan's mother is the niece of the patriarch's wife.

But this Chu Yan is notorious, and the Chen family will definitely not agree to this family business.

So the Chu family found another way and decided to cook raw rice and mature rice.

If Chen Changping hadn't been recruited today, maybe it would have been Li Xu's turn.

Alas, there are really rivers and lakes everywhere in the world.
