lady, please calm down

Chapter 214
February fifteenth.

Yin Shizhong.

There is still more than an hour before dawn, and it is the time when sleepiness is heavy.

The courtyard of Nongyu Lane house is already brightly lit with candles.

Inside the room, a sleepy Chen Chu was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, behind him was the same sleepy-looking Maodan with half-closed eyes, holding a wooden comb in his hand to help the former comb his hair.

"Sigh~"

Chen Chu, who was staring in a daze, suddenly felt a scalp pain and was completely awake.

When Mao Dan heard Dong's breathing in pain, he quickly brushed his hair lightly, and said apologetically, "Did I hurt you, Master?"

"."

This line, why does it sound wrong!

Brother Chen asked others like this, and it was the first time he was asked like this.

"It's okay, what time is it?"

"It's the middle of Yin's time."

"Bring me my official robe."

Chen Chu looked in the mirror at the crooked bun on the top of his head, and gave up the plan to re-tie his hair. Anyway, he won't be able to see the bun when he wears the martial crown later.

In a short time, the eldest son took a set of fifth-grade brocade robes and entered the room.

The brocade robe is the official attire worn by warriors when they meet. It is made of five-color brocade. The neckline, cuffs, and hem are sewn with red satin, and the front is decorated with various gold and silver buttons.

Similar to military uniforms.

Under the joint efforts of the eldest son and Mao Dan, it took half an hour to put the clothes on Chen Chu.

It wasn't because of Chen Chu's arrogance that he needed someone's help to dress.

But for this kind of clothes with complicated shapes and multiple layers inside and outside, it is very troublesome to tie more than [-] knots alone.

For this reason, yesterday afternoon before Cao Xiaojian came to teach the face-to-face etiquette, he specially taught the eldest son and Maodan how to help Chen Du wear this uniform.

But now the two of them were sweating from anxiety, but the knots were crooked and even knotted.
It is difficult for these two idiots to do such meticulous work.

Chen Chu couldn't help but miss the cat a little. If my wife were here, she would tie her clothes neatly and beautifully.

After a while, it was barely tidied up.

Before setting off, the sharp-eyed Maodan suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Boss, Chen Xiaoniang."

When Chen Chu turned his head, he saw a faint figure in the vertical flower gate that went in from the second to the third.

The place where she stands is at the junction of light and dark where the candlelight cannot reach, one step forward will be exposed to the light; one step back will be completely hidden in the darkness.

It seemed that he wanted Chen Chu to see him, but he was also worried that many followers in the courtyard would see him.

From this, we can get a little glimpse of his entangled mind.

"Go to the alley and wait for me first."

Chen Chu confessed in a low voice, and Maodan greeted everyone with a wink to go out first.

In an instant, Chen Chu was the only one left in the second courtyard, and then he walked forward, "Ah Yu got up so early?"

Chen Jinyu naturally saw that there was no one else in the courtyard, so she walked out of the shadows.

Chen Chu went to court today, which was no small matter for a local military general like him. Chen Jinyu, who was concerned about him, stayed up all night. Hearing the noise in the front yard, he couldn't help but touch it quietly.

Deliberately asked a few words, but after carefully looking at the other party, he raised his head and smiled, revealing a pair of sweet dimples, "Uncle, how do you wear these clothes? The knots are tied wrong"

"Maodan is clumsy and can't do such delicate work. Just deal with it casually." Chen Chu didn't care.

However, Chen Jinyu wrinkled her small nose, and said lightly, "How can that be done! Uncle is disheveled in court today, so be careful of being accused of disrespect. Besides, wearing it like this will make others laugh."

While Chen Jinyu was speaking, she leaned over and placed her small head on Chen Chu's waist. Taking advantage of the dim lights in the courtyard, she untied the twisted knot on her waist and tied a beautiful one-ear knot again.

The upper body leans forward, relying on the soft waist to maintain the figure, which makes the slim figure even more slender.

The elegant spring shirt outlines a slightly green and round arc on the back of the buttocks.

"It's all wrong"

After changing the knot at the waist, Chen Jinyu raised her head, just in time to meet Chen Chu's gaze from top to bottom.

Chen Jinyu Xiuyan couldn't help but blushed, but her hands didn't stop, and she re-tied the knots under her armpits and on her chest.

Until the last knot under the collar of the left chest, it was tied into a dead knot by the hairy egg.

Chen Jinyu couldn't untie it, so she just tiptoed up to it, put her head on Chen Chu's chest, opened her mouth and bit the knot with her thin white teeth, and groped with her hands to loosen the dead knot.

At this time, it was the darkest scene before dawn.

The courtyard was quiet, Chen Jinyu frowned and frowned, as if her attention was focused on the knot, and she was completely unaware of the extremely ambiguous posture of the two of them.

Until the back is tight.

Chen Jinyu noticed that Chen Chu was holding her waist, her body was stiff for a moment, then she raised her head, her beautiful face was full of confusion, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

this little goldfish
How could it be possible that her tutor didn't know that the action just now had gone too far.

At this moment, he looked confused, as if it was really an unintentional mistake.

"Ayu, you have read so many books, how do saints discuss the rituals of men and women?" Chen Chu held Chen Jinyu in front of him, and the two stood close to each other.

"???"

Chen Jinyu was stunned for a moment, but at this moment, she couldn't think of any small words and righteousness in her clever mind.

Because of the upturned moist pupils, Chen Chu's head was getting closer and closer. Chen Jinyu first closed her eyes subconsciously, and then opened her eyes in a flash of inspiration, saying in a panic, "The sage said: "It's about emotion, it's about ending." Propriety and righteousness. Emotion is the nature of the people, and it ends with etiquette.”

The latter words were blocked back.

Because he was opening his mouth to speak, he was taken advantage of.

Just now he was so ashamed that he wanted to close his eyes, but now he opened his almond eyes wide and stared at the person close at hand.

Perhaps wanting to maintain her daughter's restraint, she clenched her hands into small fists and softly beat Chen Chu's chest twice.

Then, he used all his strength to push the person back until he retreated behind the wall, completely cutting off the sight path of the two people who might be seen in the courtyard three times, and then he became docile.

Even started a jerky response.

Eyes wide open, slowly closed, falling into a sweet dream.

Chen Jinyu was so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night, so a small role like Chen Chu was completely dispensable.

Chen Chu and Yingzhou, who were wearing fifth-grade brocade robes, wearing martial arts crowns, and holding wat boards, commanded Guo Taoer and other low-level military officers, and stood at the end of the martial arts formation on the right side of Wende Hall.

They were ignored at all.

The debate in the court was whether to continue to conquer the Hebei rebellious army and whether to continue to add taxes.

"In order to avoid the small tax, the poor don't give birth to many children, and the newborns are easy to drown in the basin, especially in Hebei"

The outcry from the Minister of the Household Department did not change the decision of Prime Minister Li Bangyan and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Qian Yinian to join forces to add Fu.

There is constant military chaos in Daqi, and there is the Kingdom of Jin outside, which needs to pay a large amount of protection fees every year. All these need money.

If there is no tax, where will the money come from?
We can only suffer more for the people.

However, there is another controversy about where the people are suffering. Daqi has only half of the country, and the rich and prosperous Jiangnan is not under the rule. In the past, the densely populated Shandong Road was the focus of taxation.

But last year, the Guiyi army rebelled, and Shandong Road had already been corrupted, and it was really impossible to collect it.

The same goes for Hebei Road.
The roads in the northwest have always been barren and the folk customs are sturdy, and they have never been a key source of tax revenue.

The Central Plains is the hometown of many court tycoons, so it is not easy to be too exploitative.

After discussion and discussion, it seems that the burden of taxation can only be handed over to the Huaibei prefectures that have not experienced major chaos in recent years.
There is no big boss from Huaibei in the DPRK. Qian Yinian's proposal was approved by most of the officials, as well as Liu Yu's tacit approval.

Chen Chu, who was not qualified to speak on such an occasion, looked at each other silently with Guo Taoer, Ding Jisheng and other military officers from Huaibei, each scolding their mothers from the bottom of their hearts.

The court meeting lasted from Maoshi to Sishi.

Chen Chu, who was inexperienced, drank too much water in the morning, his legs were sore from standing, and his mother was urgent to urinate.

In the middle of the day, seeing that the court meeting was coming to an end, the inner officer next to Liu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to remind him in a low voice, and it was only then that Emperor Daqi remembered that there was still an interview with local generals today.

Liu Yu squeezed out a kind smile, summoned several people out of the line, gave a few words of encouragement, and then the internal officials announced the decree.

Guo Taoer, Ding Jisheng and others were promoted from fifth-rank Yiwei doctor to fifth-rank Xiezhong doctor.

Doctor Yiwei and Doctor Xiezhong are both official ranks, similar to military ranks, only related to salary and seniority, and have nothing to do with military power.

Chen Chu was just promoted to Caizhou Metropolitan Government last year, so he was not promoted this time. He just took down the word "Dai" in "Daidu Command".
According to Cao Xiaojian's statement yesterday, after the court is over today, the emperor will summon him alone.

But I don't know if it was because of too much bad news or because I was tired, so I summoned the cancellation.

Chen Chu, who was almost urinating, was naturally happy, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart. It took nearly a month to come and listen to the big boss?

Could it be that the princes of the court think that if I can see the emperor Longyan in person, I will be devoted to Daqi in the future?

After thinking about it carefully, there is really such a possibility that the current information is blocked, even if the life radius of a frontier general is only a few hundred miles, to be received by the emperor in his lifetime is indeed an honorable event that can be recorded in the family tree.

But Chen Chu didn't like this kind of formalism.
Having experienced the baptism of the information explosion, the mystery of powerful figures has been weakened too much.

So what if you are awesome?Don't you still have diarrhea when you get older?
They are all mortal bodies.

But nowadays many people don't think so. When Chen Chu returned to Nongyu Lane in the afternoon, his entourage hula-la surrounded him and insisted on Chen Chu talking about what is so extraordinary about the Great Qi Emperor.

Even the eldest son, who was not very afraid of the government, couldn't help asking, "Does the emperor have horns on his head?"

Sand sculpture
Accumulated for thousands of years, the word "son of heaven" has long been deified.

Even Liu Yu, who won the country improperly, still has a huge deterrent to the people.

In the afternoon of the same day, shopkeeper Hu of the Four Seas Trading Company sent a pigeon letter, which was Mao'er's reply.

Because the festival of the clansmen was unexpected by both husband and wife, Maoer carefully asked in the letter if he could bring all the Zhao family members to Caizhou, as if he was afraid of annoying Chen Chu.

Seeing Mao'er's attitude, Chen Chu had no worries.

Immediately go to the inn on Zaoyuan Street and tell Grandma to pack up and leave tomorrow
Upon hearing the news, the whole courtyard was filled with excitement.

Grandma Tai was extremely calm, and immediately talked about the relocation of the ancestral grave.

Chen Chu has no objection to this matter, after all, there are also the bones of Mao'er's father and grandma in the ancestral grave, if it is moved to Caizhou, it will be more convenient for Mao'er to pay homage in the future.

It's just a big matter of moving the grave, and it needs to be counted as an auspicious day before the ground can be broken.

He was invited to ask the elder Wugendao, who didn’t want to come with him, while the former was still doing mental calculations with his fingers, the old god said: "Today is an auspicious day, and Shenshi is an auspicious time! Today’s enlightenment will benefit the descendants of Dali!"

With his prophecy, the Zhao family took Chen Chu to Mutuogang in the east of the city without further delay.

Wugen, who was traveling with him, did not calculate a good day until he left the city, but it was quite different from what his junior brother said. When he left the city, Wugen couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Junior brother! How do you calculate today's Shenshi is an auspicious day? I didn't count!"

Tai Xu straightened his Taoist robe with his missing two fingers, and said complacently: "Senior brother, you are too upright! It doesn't matter what day is an auspicious day, don't you see that Mr. Chen wants to leave Tokyo City earlier? Then Mrs. Zhao is only concerned about the impact of moving the grave on the descendants. I said this, Mr. Chen is satisfied, and the old lady is happy, isn't that enough?"

"You" has no roots to refute.

Shen time.

South of Mu Tuo Gang, Zhao Jiazu's grave.

For the entire process of moving the tomb, Grandma Tai asked Chen Chu to preside over the whole process, regardless of the astonishment of the clansmen.
This matter has great symbolic significance, and it cannot be held by anyone who is not the head of the clan.

At dusk, dozens of thin coffins bought hastily refilled the bones, and everyone returned to the city.

After returning to the inn, the elders of the Zhao family got together and sighed.

Grandma Tai naturally noticed the abnormal atmosphere, and called these people into the room after the meal.

The so-called 'elders' are the elders of Zhao Congyi, Xiaomei and others, and they are all juniors in front of the grandma.

"Men are all in their decades, so just talk about anything, don't get together and mutter like that gossip woman."

The grandma was not very polite when she opened her mouth, and the people below looked at each other, finally Zhao Jichun, the oldest, said in a low voice: "Seventh Aunt, it's not because we are stingy, why should a person with a foreign surname preside over today's sacrifice to the ancestors. The neighbors have met, what face does my Zhao family have?"

"Face? Did you and your son have face when they were tenants of the Lu family?"

Grandma Tai retorted slowly, leaving Zhao Jichun speechless.

Then she said: "The chief priest has always been the head of the patriarch. Now that our cat is not around, her husband will do it for her. What's wrong?"

"."

There was a moment of silence below, and Zhao Kaiyuan, Zhao Jichun's son, said in surprise: "Grandma Seven, there is no precedent for a woman to be the patriarch in our Zhao family for eight generations!"

"Your old Zhao family has counted up to eight generations, and there has never been a single ruler!"

Grandma's response was neat and tidy.

The scene became quiet again. Zhao Tian's seniority was high, and because he had paid a lot for the old Zhao family, his words were quite important.

After Ding Wei, the former patriarch of the Zhao family died suddenly, and immediately the family fell into decline, so naturally he didn't have the heart to save another patriarch.

But now it's different, the whole family is going to Caizhou soon, to be relatives of Mrs. Duzhi's wife, and the beautiful days are coming.

Therefore, the head of the Zhao family regained his weight.

After all, the head of the Zhao family represents the cat's natal family in a sense.

This identity can not only bring respect and great convenience, but also be more courageous, and even unearth a lot of benefits.

They could think of it, and so could Zhao Tian's. It's not that she didn't want her clansman to live a better life, but she was worried that she would hurt her grandson-in-law because of it.

Now, that little girl whom she met several times many years ago is the foundation of the Zhao family, and at the same time, the grandson-in-law is Mao'er's confidence.

Naturally, some disdainful children and grandchildren can't destroy this chance of "prosperity" that fell from the sky.

If the family wants to climb the towering tree in Caizhou like a vine, it must give the cat the power to restrain the clan. If there are branches that grow wildly, the cat can cut it off and cut it off.

The identity of the "patriarch" is the scissors and hatchet given to Maoer by Zhao Tian's family, and the name can only be followed.

Among the people below, some guessed what the old lady meant, and some seemed to be dissatisfied with the fact that the woman was the patriarch.

Zhao Tianshi lowered her eyelids, and said again slowly but earnestly: "When we arrive in Caizhou, our cat will give it to us, and we will take it. If you don't give it to me, don't be tempted. I don't care if the cat should call you grandpa." It's still uncle, after we meet, whoever dares to put the elder's profile in front of our cats, trying to use this to make sense of their couple's words"

Zhao Tian raised his slack eyelids, scanned everyone with cloudy eyes, and said in an extremely rare deep and cold voice: "Anyway, the old woman will not live long, who is not sensible, I must take him away before I die, so as not to leave him as a disaster "

"."

Everyone shrank their necks in unison.

　Some readers said that the word 'Zang Rui' is too straightforward. To be honest, I also think this word is not very good.
　　I'm a bad name, can someone please help me to name my name and I'll change it.
