lady, please calm down

Chapter 29
June sixteenth.

The last batch of peaches in Fuhu Village was harvested.

It's time for Chen Chu's second batch of tomatoes to be picked, and there is still the first crop of purple long eggplants.

In other words, we will go down the mountain again tomorrow.

In the evening, Uncle Yang specially came over and confessed: "Brother Chu, the new house is almost finished, and it will be ready to live in after a few days of drying. I will go down the mountain with you tomorrow."

It seems that the last "go shopping" incident made him worried about the boys, and he wanted to keep an eye on them.

After seeing off Uncle Yang, Chen Chu turned and went into the shack.

But I saw the cat sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, and the tiger squatting in the corner with two small puppets fighting
The cat must have heard what Uncle Yang said just now, so he knew that Chen Chu would go down the mountain again tomorrow.

"Cat, cat?"

After calling twice, Mao'er came to his senses, and looked up at Chen Chu, Tao Hua's eyes were full of resentment.

Although Mao'er hasn't asked these days, it seems that he has a knot in his heart.

We'll have to talk about it, but there's a little light bulb in the house that gets in the way.

So, Chen Chu lightly kicked Hutou's little butt.

The two small tiger heads on top of his head raised his face and said in a daze, "Brother, why are you kicking the tiger head?"

"Go to Aunt Yao's house to borrow coriander"

"Why borrow coriander again!"

Hutou was quite unhappy, but under Chen Chu's coercion and lure, he still walked out slowly.

After removing the light bulb, Chen Chu sat down beside the cat, and very naturally hugged the cat's shoulders.

"Mao'er, why haven't you asked me what's going on with Caiwei Pavilion these days?"

"The official wants to talk to Mao'er, so naturally he does. If he doesn't want to talk, even if Mao'er has a fight with you like Mrs. Wu, you won't know how to talk, and it will annoy you instead."

There was no anger in the soft voice, but there was a sorrow that could not be concealed.

"It was like this that day." Chen Chu described the situation of that night.

Mao'er listened carefully to Chen Chu's statement with his ears open, and then said as an afterthought: "The officials don't need to explain to Mao'er."

Then he took the initiative to lean his head on Chen Chu's shoulder, stretched out his small hand to take Chen Chu's big hand, and gently rubbed the callus on the latter's palm with his index finger.

Is it so cute?

Don't need to buy a bag?Don't need a few pieces of jewelry?
"Mao'er knows that the official has worked hard in the past six months, and also knows that the official is capable." Mao'er whispered in his ear.

Chen Chu's ears were itchy and hot due to the weak, warm breath.

"Officer, the cat is not a jealous person. In the future, even if you have someone outside, the cat will not fight with you, but it will wait until you are older."

"what?"

Chen Chudeng didn't react immediately.

Is this a decadent feudal society?So shameless, so dirty, so cute
However, the cat's words are also a little strange.

Although Chen Chu looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, Zhou people were [-] percent and [-] percent strong, and men at the age of [-] or [-] were getting married everywhere, so what does "you need to wait until you are older" mean?
Then, Mao'er wrinkled her little nose, said half coquettishly half seriously, "Anyway, officials are not allowed to mess around for two years."

"Hehe, I'm not the kind of person who likes to mess around."

After hearing this, the cat raised her face slightly, gave Chen Chu a white look, and blurted out: "Mother said, there is no cat in the world that doesn't steal."

After all, Mao'er felt that these words were frivolous again, unlike the words of ordinary women from a good family, so she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

As soon as Mao'er grabbed Chen Chu's hand, he interlocked his fingers, trying to divert Chen Chu's attention.

Then he said: "The officials still need to agree to Mao'er. If you really have someone in the future, don't hide it from Mao'er. If she wants to enter my Chen's house, I need to nod."

Discussing the topic of finding another woman with my wife is quite a shock to a modern person.
Mao'er saw Chen Chu in a daze, but thought that he was unwilling to accept the condition of 'defeating power and humiliating the country'.

Then he explained in a soft voice: "Officer, our family is different from other families. There are no in-laws in the family to manage the house. If a woman with bad morals enters our house, the house will definitely be in trouble, so I need Maoer to help you look at it." , you can rest assured."

The conversation between the two was interrupted when the tiger's head, which had borrowed coriander, returned home.

That night, Chen Chu and Mao'er, who were sleeping on both sides of the tiger's head, were thinking about their own things, but neither fell asleep.

Taking advantage of the "Caiwei Pavilion" incident, Mao'er put forward two requests with a lot of thought.

The Zhou people's ritual system, the parents died, and the system was kept for 25 months.

In other words, it will take another nineteen months before Mao'er and Chen Chu can consummate their marriage and become a real couple.

During this period of time, what if one's own officials go out and make other people's stomachs bigger?Originating from Widow Zhao's profession, how could Maoer, who has been under the influence of widow Zhao since childhood, not understand anything.

At the same time, due to the influence of her mother, she did not have any confidence in the man's "defense".

So she set a rule for the officials not to allow her first child not to be born by herself!
In the past, Mao'er didn't have these worries. At that time, she thought that it would be great for the two of them to stay together on the mountain with the tiger's head for a lifetime, and it would be even better if they could earn more money.

Afterwards, Zitao was listed on the market, and the family got a sum of money, and food and clothing were gradually guaranteed.

Afterwards, Chen Chu sold Zhuyan Fruit and moved it home for more than 100 taels of silver.

The cat was frightened, and at the same time, there was a kind of panic of "repentant husband and son-in-law looking for a prince". He felt that his background was humble, but he saw that the officials were about to prosper.
'Caiwei Pavilion' is just a pretext, and Mao'er will always find a chance to talk to Chen Chu about those things that have been thought about for a long time.

Because he was not familiar with the current etiquette system, Chen Chu did not guess Mao'er's first thought.

But after thinking about it in bed that night, Chen Chu guessed her second meaning.

The phrase "if any woman from the other side enters our Chen family's door, I need to nod before it" does not mean that no matter how many women there are in the family, they must bring me tea when they enter the door. Maoer is serious big lady!
Perhaps it is precisely because there is no natal family to rely on, and the lack of confidence, Maoer deliberately emphasized this matter.

After thinking about this, Chen Chu couldn't help laughing.

I have just had enough food and clothing, and I am still running wildly on the road to a well-off life, but my wife is already ready to accept his three wives and four concubines
This evil feudal society is really fragrant.

"Mao'er, do you still have relatives?" Chen Chu's weary voice sounded in the darkness.

"Dear one? Officer you." Cat didn't fall asleep, and responded immediately.

"I mean the elders of blood relatives."

"Uncle's family stayed in Tokyo City, but there has been no news for many years, and I don't know if he is still alive."

"Oh, after we've settled down completely, we'll go look for uncle."

"Huh? Why do officials think of looking for uncle when they are so good?"

"Although the etiquette of the three letters and six appointments is cumbersome, it is also an indispensable process. You must have your mother's family in charge."

"." Mao'er was stunned for a long time before murmuring: "Mao'er is already the official's wife, so there is no reason to hold a wedding again."

"Why can't we do it again? As long as you and I want to do it, the cat doesn't want to?"

After another period of silence, Mao'er said in a slightly trembling soft voice: "Think"

There is no woman in this world who doesn't want to carry a big sedan chair eight times and wear red makeup ten miles away.

"That's it. How can the lady who is married by Ming Media live her life in a daze." Chen Chu paused, and then said slowly: "A few months ago, I lay on the mountain road and thought I was going to die. I didn't expect to meet Thank you cat for giving Chen Xiaolang a home"

"No, no," Mao'er choked up as soon as he opened his mouth, "It's the officials who gave Mao'er a home."

Speaking of this, the cat no longer cared about being reserved, and nimbly rolled over from Hutou's body, squeezed between Chen Chu and the little girl, pouted its buttocks again, and squeezed the sleeping little girl into the bed.
His head rested on Chen Chu's chest, and his thin shoulders couldn't help shrugging.

"What are you crying for?"

"The cat is obviously happy in his heart, but he can't help it. Cough, cough, cough." The cat wanted to hold back the tears, but it coughed violently.

"Cry, cry." Chen Chu patted Mao'er on the back, and said helplessly while helping her to calm down.

"Wow"

In more than ten years, the cat has never cried so freely.
