Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 7 Marry and follow husband!

Time flies, and ten days have passed.

In these ten days, Zhu Xiuyuan mainly did one thing——

When I read books in the study room of Dong Mansion, I read all the classics related to history.

After roughly going through the classics of the past dynasties, Zhu Xiuyuan came to a conclusion.

The dynasty he lived in did not belong to any period in history!
But it is inconsistent with the real historical trajectory, and it can be regarded as a "semi-empty" dynasty!

Perhaps it can also be said to be "parallel time and space".

The place where the Dong family is located is called Xunyang County. Xunyang County belongs to Jiangzhou, and the county seat is the state city.

Jiangzhou also belonged to the state of Chen.

According to Zhu Xiuyuan's observation of the local customs, mountains and geography of Chen State, and the clues found in historical books.

This Chen State is not that Chen State.

It is neither the Chen State that was enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty in history, nor the Nan Chen in the "Song, Qi, Liang, Chen" of the Southern Dynasties.

This Chen State is slightly similar to Nan Chen in some respects.

For example, the emperor of the Chen Kingdom was also named Shubao, but his surname was Liu and his full name was "Liu Shubao".

There is also a noble concubine in the Chen Kingdom who is good at dancing and possesses the beauty to captivate the city and the country, named "You Lihua"...

……

On this day, my father-in-law, Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuyu, and Dong Shuzhen were enjoying breakfast in the back hall of the west courtyard of Dong Mansion.

"Hey!" After taking a sip of porridge, my father-in-law put down the bowl and sighed heavily.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Dong Shuzhen immediately dropped the bowl and chopsticks, ran to the side of her father-in-law, held his hand, her face was full of concern.

What a considerate little cotton-padded jacket!

However, the father-in-law glared at Dong Shuzhen, and said with all his dignity as a father: "Go back and sit down, you are all married, how can you behave like this!"

"Oh!"

Dong Shuzhen's hand seemed to have been scalded by boiling water. She immediately let go, lowered her head, and walked back slowly.

"My son-in-law, Zhen'er is too messy, I will trouble you in the future, and need more discipline!"

The father-in-law's complexion was full of exhaustion, his two sword eyebrows were slightly condensed, his eyes were dull, and he looked like he was overworked.

In fact, my father-in-law is a handsome old man. If he were ten years younger, he would definitely be able to charm a lot of ladies.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to give birth to two sisters like Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen who are as beautiful as flowers. This is all genetic.

"Okay, father-in-law!" Zhu Xiuyuan responded quickly.

In fact, he has said these words to his father-in-law many times in the past ten days.

Because his little wife, Dong Shuzhen, thought she was married, and was "deceived" by the "dog-headed military counselor" Xia Wu, and thought she was free.

Therefore, he became more and more courageous, sneaking out of the house and running to play on the street.

Unfortunately, just happened to be bumped into by the father-in-law who came back from his duty...

The father-in-law took Dong Shuzhen back to his home and gave him a severe lecture.

Then he personally carried Dong Shuzhen to Zhu Xiuyuan and gave him a lecture.

It probably means that Dong Shuzhen is already your wife Zhu Xiuyuan, so you should take good care of her!
This is the principle of obeying your husband when you marry.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan is very "easy-going". He believes that children should play more and should not be confined...

In his eyes, Dong Shuzhen is just a child!Dong Shuzhen's words and deeds echo the characteristics of a child, carefree, heartless, and not tired of life. Zhu Xiuyuan is also relaxed and happy to get along with her.

Zhu Xiuyuan was so greedy for comfort that he went further and further down the road of pampering and pampering Dong Shuzhen...

However, after Dong Shuzhen recovered for two days, she sneaked out of the house to play again.

After sneaking away twice, Dong Shuzhen was caught again by her father-in-law...

Now the father-in-law went crazy and gave Dong Shuzhen a death order. Want to go out to play?Well, you must be personally accompanied by your husband. If your husband doesn't take you out, you can't step out of the house.

Dong Shuzhen is like a cat that has stolen fish. After leaving the house to play once, it has already tasted the marrow and learned its taste. Sitting in the house all day long is like being in prison.

Therefore, Dong Shuzhen has tried to "please" her father-in-law many times, either by acting cute or acting coquettishly, in order to get her father-in-law to take back his life.

His father-in-law remained unmoved. Just like before, Dong Shuzhen cared about him like a caring little cotton-padded jacket, but he gave her a serious lecture...

The corner of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth twitched when he thought of the matter between father-in-law and Dong Shuzhen.

After he finished answering his father-in-law, he occasionally raised his eyes and met the eyes of Dong Shuzhen, who was walking back with her head hanging down.

Dong Shuzhen stuck out her tongue...

"Dad, is there something going on in the yamen? Dad, you have to take good care of yourself. You have lost a lot of weight recently."

Sister-in-law Dong Shuyu ignored the nonsense between the two father and daughter.

Although her words were cold, one could hear the concern and warmth in them.

"Hey, it's the time of year to check the tea tax accounts again. It's normal to be busy during this period. Then Fuliang County and Sicang joined the military... that's all. You can't understand what I said."

The father-in-law's tired expression eased a little. He leaned back on the back of the chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "By the way, how is the tea house's business going?"

At this time, Dong Shuzhen had silently walked back to Zhu Xiuyuan and sat down. The two young couples looked at each other, silently picked up pastries and steamed buns, and ate gruel and pickles. While listening to the conversation between their father-in-law and Dong Shuyu, they chewed slowly. eating.

"Dad, my daughter is incompetent."

When Dong Shuyu mentioned the tea house, her expression darkened.

More than ten days have passed, and the tea house is in decline. She has also used some methods, but they are completely useless. It is almost impossible to bring the tea house back to life through explicit or covert means.

"The business of the tea house has plummeted. The Hua family united with almost all the tea houses, including the governor and the Sima family, to surround our tea house. My daughter...has not found a solution yet."

"It's okay, if the tea house can't continue to operate, it should be closed! Without the income of the tea house, although my Dong family earns less, it's not too bad."

Father-in-law leaned on the back of the chair and said calmly.

"Yes, Daddy!"

Dong Shuyu was unwilling to give in, but her father said so, so she had no choice but to answer like this.

"Sister, is the tea house busy now? Do you need help?"

Dong Shuzhen raised her little head from the porridge bowl, her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Bullshit!"

Father-in-law glared at Dong Shuzhen.

He scolded: "It's not true that I think you're helping because my father is here to see you. I'm afraid it's true that you're going out to have fun! Zhen'er, why do you always put your mind on such little tricks? Now you are a married man. You should take good care of your husband and raise your children at home..."

Yes, my father-in-law took the opportunity to preach again.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know how Dong Shuzhen felt. Anyway, his head was filled with little stars and he felt drowsy.

After finally waiting for his father-in-law to finish his sermon, Dong Shuzhen, with her head hanging down, whispered: "My husband can read and write, why not... let me go to the tea house to help."
