Chapter 38: Li Chuzhu

"Luoyang is too far away, I don't want to go, and Xiao Huan doesn't want to go either, unless you go, second uncle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Since leaving Changling, Yan Lai has rarely had time to sit down and chat with his sister-in-law, and even these days he came and went in a hurry.

Yan Li also felt that in just half a year, this second uncle had changed, becoming more and more like an uncle, and no longer the half-grown boy who had stolen a bag of jewelry in his impression and couldn't wait to share it with him.

Calculate the time, and in another twenty days, he will wear the crown.

Li Chuzhu married into the Yan family when she was fourteen years old, and she still remembered that when she went to greet her father-in-law that morning, Yan Lai hid in the corner and looked at herself very curiouslyβ€”he was only nine years old that year.

Later I had the impression that he was a quiet child who didn't like to talk, and perhaps since his mother died when he was four years old, no one wanted to bother to communicate with him.

Until Li Chuzhu appeared.

For a newly married daughter-in-law, she is not familiar with life, and she has to be cautious everywhere, so naturally, she is familiar with this half-uncle, after all, the two of them are the most idle in the family.

Father-in-law Yan Shun seems to have planned the future development of the Yan family for a long time, the eldest son takes over the family's business, and the second son goes to the sect to study, so they will take care of each other in the future.

According to this assumption, I dare not say that I can expand outward, at least in Changling, there is also a big squire with a head and a face, and this is enough.

It's a pity that it backfired, and I don't blame Yan Shun for being ambitious, he first brought Yan Lai directly to Yuntian Sect, but he returned with a feather and was screened out just after the first level.

The unwilling father went to Nanjianmen again the next year, and this time Yan Shun understood that his roots were really not that material.

But even so, he didn't plan to give up, he thought about saving a few more years of money, and finding a sect that couldn't be up to the bottom and stuffed it in, after all, mixing the rivers and lakes doesn't necessarily just talk about cultivation, sometimes popularity means are more important.

Especially for Yan Shun, he doesn't need Yan Lai to be very capable in martial arts, what he wants to get from the rivers and lakes is fame, a certain reputation, he doesn't need too much, as long as his son can gain a foothold in the Changling area, he will be satisfied.

Because of this, he sent his youngest son out with the caravan, so that he could see the world earlier and learn more interpersonal methods.

As a result, both sons were kidnapped.

In the days when the Yan family suffered a catastrophe, when Yan Shun was dying, only Li Chuzhu was the only one in the whole family who could really take responsibility, because this was her home.

Even if it was a bad mess later, she didn't dare to fall, after all, the Yan family was left with the root in her stomach, and as the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, she didn't dare to forget her mission.

It wasn't until Yanlai came back again that she felt that she was no longer floating, and she was able to land on the ground again.

Li Chuzhu is a person who dares to act, and she also has her own ideas, and she can match the Yan family at that time, which shows that her growth environment is not very bad, just because she is a woman, what else can she do with the water that is spilled.

If Yan Lai didn't come back, her final result should be to endure the humiliation and return to the Li family. Raise your son well.

Fortunately, the second uncle is still alive, so at least, she has a home of her own, not under the fence.

In the last days, it was a lot duller, gritted her teeth and took out her last savings to find a job for the half of the uncle, this is the most accurate thing she sees, and it turns out that she is right.

Yan Lai, who escaped death, was also very angry, maybe he was really desperate and anxious, he was not a stupid person, but he was a little withdrawn, and soon showed his diligence and ability, and he was able to gain a foothold in the yamen.

So gradually, Li Chuzhu's life became stable again, and seeing her son getting bigger and bigger, and her second uncle becoming more and more like a man, she had more hope.

But no matter how much she tried to reverie, she didn't expect that the Xue family's catastrophe would become a stepping stone for her second uncle's success.

Just now, Yan Lai came in and told her that when the imperial court gave sixty acres of Yongye land and distributed six acres of vocational fields, Li Chuzhu, who was doing needlework, let out a "ah" sound and stabbed directly to his finger.

Sixty acres of Yongye Field, that is something that can really be passed on to the next generation, as for the most precious five acres of spiritual field, she ignored it, because happiness came too suddenly.

So when he heard the second uncle say that he wanted them to go to Luoyang for safety, Li Chuzhu didn't think about it and refused.

First, people leave their hometowns, secondly, she knows where her roots are, and thirdly, it is very pure, she doesn't want to be too far away from Yanlai, as if she is afraid that her family will go far away, there is no bottom.

As for the danger, if someone really wants to deal with their orphans and widows, where will it be different? Could it be that when they arrive in Luoyang, they will be fine.

She thought about this more thoroughly than Yan Lai.

"In that case, forget it. Yan Lai knew that she would not be persuaded to do so, and he did not plan to mention it again, so he said with a smile: "Although those fields have not come down yet, it will not be too long to think about it, if my sister-in-law is free, you can go to find some bankers in the near future, people should be down-to-earth, as long as they are willing to us, they can take less tax." ”

Although Yan Li didn't know why he chose this way, he still listened to it and nodded his head to write it down.

"The key is the five acres of spiritual land, in the case that we are not familiar with it, I plan to release it to the agricultural department, so sister-in-law, you have to re-operate the old business of the Yan family, it is inevitable to take stock of accounts, and it is best to be able to participate in the business of buying and selling." ”

When Yan Lai really explained the matter of Lingtian, Li Chuzhu reacted, that Lingtian was the Kantian she had often heard of, and she felt even more dizzy at the moment - what kind of road did this second uncle take, and the private property that only such high-ranking officials and nobles had was also held in his hands.

"Tian's affairs are arranged like this, except for Lingtian, who needs to pay more attention, the others will go according to the rules, and they will come down to the family. ”

Yan Lai knew that it would be impossible for her sister-in-law to adapt to such a fast time for a while, so she stopped discussing it and arranged it directly: "The steward should invite one, just live downstairs with me, the maid please two, and leave the side room in the living room to them, so there is no need to save this money, Xiaohuan also needs a better environment to grow, and sister-in-law, most of your future time will have to take care of the property." ”

Sure enough, Li Chuzhu was hesitant when she heard it first, after all, after suffering for so many years, she was used to doing everything herself, but after Yan came to her son, she compromised.

"You, leaving?"

Li Chuzhu is not stupid, why don't he understand when he hears this.

Yan Lai nodded: "Just these two days, after that, I have to stay in Jiangbei for a while, so it's not too far." ”

It's really not very far, just across a river, but after all, it's also separated.

Li Chuzhu was reluctant, but it was not easy to show it too much, so his heart was even more entangled, and he was very uncomfortable.

Seeing her like this, Yan Lai said with relief: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the center of gravity of the yamen is still on Jiangning's side, I believe it won't be long before I will come back." ”

This is the truth, Li Chuzhu also listened to it, and when Yan Lai said goodbye and left, she suddenly called: "Little ghost." ”

Yan Lai was stunned for a moment, and felt that this title was very familiar for no reason, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Sister-in-law called me?"

Yan Li was smiling, but her eyes were also red, with tears, she pointed to her head and signaled: "On the ninth day of the first month of next month, you will wear a crown." ”

Between the four eyes, they were a little stunned to each other, as if they met for the first time that year, and they appeared in front of them again.

Thinking of all kinds of past, Yan Lai's heart warmed, and he wanted to hug this woman, very simple, habitually expressing his emotions.

In this world, she is the only one who can remember her own things so clearly - even if she thinks about the original him, but today, is there a difference?

It's been seven years, and I'm dependent on this woman.

Coming to this strange and cold world, it was she who gave her the first emotional warmth, and it was she who made him feel that he had a home and roots.

For a person who has been reborn with original sin, this warmth is precious.

Looking back now, Yan Lai feels that he was lucky, if it weren't for Yan Li, he really didn't know how to spend those years when he first arrived, on the one hand, he needed to adapt to the new world, and on the other hand, the nightmarish old world.

He thought he was going to go crazy.

"yes. Yan Lai looked melancholy and said mischievously: "I grew up by accident." ”

Yan Li smiled heartily, this little ghost who said seriously that he wanted to marry a woman like himself back then has finally grown up.
