Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 225 New Year’s Eve Dinner

When she heard the young man agreed, Xia Zhiqing's eyes suddenly brightened.

Standing on tiptoes slightly, he took the initiative to kiss Chen Mo's lips.

Just when Xia Zhiqing was about to break up, Chen Mo held her head in his arms, lowered his head and touched the millstone with his touching soft lips.

Because she felt that the boy was in trouble, Xia Zhiqing also cooperated with the boy's aggression and let him kiss her chin, neck, collarbone and...

Xia Zhiqing's standing body fell back, hugging Chen Mo's head, and tilted his head back. She breathed slightly. If Chen Mo hadn't been holding her, she might have fallen to the ground.

Feeling her skirt being lifted up, Xia Zhiqing, who was gradually sinking, suddenly came to her senses. She quickly took away Chen Mo's hand that had touched her thigh and said, "Mo Lang, that's enough. Zhining might be outside. I still need to tell her about this."

"Okay, I'll button it up for you," Chen Mo said.

"Ah?" Xia Zhiqing was stunned, and when she looked down, she realized that the skirt on her upper body had also fallen to her armpits. The young man's understanding skills were so superb that she didn't even notice.

"No need. I can do it myself." Xia Zhiqing said.

"do not move."

Chen Mo patted Xia Zhiqing's body and lifted up her skirt. The latter really didn't dare to move.

Feeling the young man's fingers stroking the buttons, Xia Zhiqing's ears felt hot. She raised her eyes and found that when the young man's eyes were looking at the sliver of sky on the skirt of his clothes, she was even more ashamed and a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly said: " Mo Mo Lang, don’t mess around.”

She was really afraid of teenagers misbehaving.

But the young man put things in order for Xia Zhiqing and did not take the next step. He said: "Zhiqing, although I am a little unreliable in small things, I will still respect you in some big things."

After that, he lowered his head and kissed Xia Zhiqing's smooth forehead, and said: "Okay, I'm leaving. Remember, if you can't say anything, don't force it. You can't force something like this."

"Um"

Xia Zhiqing was already eaten to death by Chen Mo. At this time, she was thinking that Mo Lang was still thinking about her at this time.

……

December 31st.

Lunar New Year's eve.

Early in the morning, all the wealthy families started killing chickens and ducks.

Therefore, when walking on the streets, you can often see people sitting at the door, plucking chickens and ducks with hot water, disemboweling fish, and preparing for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

It has been chaos for more than two years, and the people have not had a serious New Year's Eve for a long time. Now that their lives have stabilized, they all want to make a good New Year's Eve dinner.

Some families even have a daughter-in-law, so they cannot be careless.

To welcome the new year.

On December 25th, Fuzelou started to reduce the prices of its products and launched a big promotion.

Especially today, everything is half price.

Some high-end items, such as refined salt, perfume, tiger meat, tiger whip, etc., are sold at 30% off or even 10% off.

Especially refined salt, which has dropped to one hundred cents per catty, is not much more expensive than coarse salt.

Chen Mo is also clearing his inventory. Since the trade route to Jiangnan has been cut off, there is a lot of refined salt piled up in the warehouse. It cannot be sold without lowering the price, because it is too expensive and the local people will not buy it.

Yi Family Courtyard.

Han Aniang and Song Min moved here yesterday. Of course, it was only temporary. According to Han Aniang's idea, the New Year's Eve dinner was held in the Yi family courtyard.

Compared with other people who kill chickens and ducks, in the Yi family courtyard, they kill sheep and cows.

Anyone who has cooked knows that if you don’t start preparing for a New Year’s Eve dinner in the morning or in the morning, you won’t have enough time at all.

The main thing is that Han Anniang wants to do it herself and doesn't want the help of slaves.

Chen Mo rode a carriage to the Yamen to pick up the Xia sisters, and then rushed towards the Yi family courtyard.

In the carriage, Xia Zhiqing held Chen Mo's arm and sat with Chen Mo, while Xia Zhining sat opposite.

Xia Zhining was wearing a long black dress with a fox fur draped over her shoulders. She looked like a summer and autumn dress, which was a bit out of place in this winter.

But the advantage is that all the beauty is reflected, and the figure is graceful, especially the two fair legs exposed under the slit of the skirt, showing off the femininity.

Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining were dressed similarly, but she was wearing a white dress and a large cloak. She was obviously a little afraid of the cold.

Her skin is white and rosy, her eyes are like autumn water, and her face is bright and bright, like a peony flower that has been nourished and watered. She is also sprayed with perfume, which is full of charm.

The reason why the two women dressed up like this was not only because they wanted to please their appearance, but also because they wanted to compete with Yi Shiyan.

Of course, Xia Zhining must have mentioned this.

In her opinion, Chen Mo didn't have a wife, he was just a concubine, so there was no need to show respect at all, and he could directly give the other party a "power". Hmm, Xia Zhining wants to be the eldest sister.

"What are you looking at? I only agreed to be your woman because of my sister's sake. Don't get me wrong." Sensing Chen Mo's gaze, Xia Zhining said.

In front of her sister, Xia Zhining still has to pretend in the early stage.

"Zhining." Xia Zhiqing said a little uneasily. She finally got Mo Lang to agree, but she couldn't let Zhining mess it up.

Chen Mo smiled, then leaned into Xia Zhiqing's ear and whispered: "Zhiqing, for your sake, I am not as knowledgeable as her."

Xia Zhiqing's face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head, because Chen Mo took the opportunity to rub her buttocks while blocking Xia Zhi's gaze with his cloak.

Xia Zhiqing couldn't sit still, for fear of being discovered by her sister.

Fortunately, the carriage stopped soon, and Sun Meng's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Chen Shuai, we're here."

Chen Mo took his hand away and got off the carriage first, then picked up the two sisters outside the carriage one after another.

Looking at the Yi family courtyard, Xia Zhiqing trembled. She was about to officially meet Mo Lang's family, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Xia Zhining didn't fare well either. Although she had the idea of ​​competing with Yi Shiyan in her heart, when she got there, she felt extremely panicked. The cold appearance on the surface was just her pretending to be calm.

"Let's go in." Chen Mo stretched out his hand to Xia Zhiqing.

Xia Zhiqing's jade face condensed slightly, she took a gentle breath, held Chen Mo's hand, and clasped their fingers together, feeling a little more at ease in her heart. She glanced at her sister, then raised her eyes to look at Chen Mo, and said, "Mo Lang. "

Chen Mo understood what Xia Zhiqing meant and gestured to Xia Zhining with his left arm.

Xia Zhining also knew that she was just pretending, so she snorted coldly, stepped forward and hugged Chen Mo's left arm, and the three of them walked into the Yi family courtyard.

As soon as she entered the small courtyard, Xiao Ling, who was about to open the door when she heard the noise, was a little stunned. She glanced at the Xia sisters and felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. She didn't know where this hostility came from. But the moment I saw the two women, I felt it in my heart.

In front of the Xia sisters, Xiao Ling felt that she was crushed instantly. She even felt that the young lady could not compare with them.

"It's over, it's over. If this continues, when will I be able to warm my bed one day?"

"Uncle, you two ladies." As a slave, she still couldn't lose her etiquette. She squeezed out a smile, saluted the two of them, and then said: "Uncle, the young lady and Mrs. Han are both in the kitchen."

"Yes, I understand." Chen Mo led the two sisters towards the kitchen.

Xiao Ling trotted one step ahead.

When he came outside the kitchen, he shouted: "Miss, it's not good, it's not good, my uncle and the others are here."

Yi Shiyan was carrying the plucked chicken and scalding its head with firewood. When he heard Xiao Ling's words, he immediately walked out with the plucked chicken and frowned slightly: "Xiao Ling, what are you talking about during the Chinese New Year?" Sorry, what's wrong with my uncle coming back?"

Xiao Ling also reacted, understood the ambiguity in the words, and said: "Miss, my uncle brought the two ladies from the Xia family here. They are so beautifully dressed and have a very elegant temperament. They really look exactly the same."

As she said that, she glanced at the young lady, who was wearing a green coat and skirt. The sleeves of her hands were rolled up again, revealing two fair forearms. Her face was still a little dirty and her hair was messy because of working in the kitchen. Holding a plucked chicken in his hand, isn't this comparison a judgment call?

Yi Shiyan obviously hadn't reacted yet and said, "Come here as soon as you come over. Is there anything wrong with it?"

She had known for a long time that her husband would bring the Xia sisters here today.

"My silly young lady, my uncle brought you in personally, and you are well-established. But if you are like this, you will be crushed by them."

With that said, Xiao Ling stepped forward, took the plucked chicken from Yi Shiyan's hand, called the maid waiting next to her, gave the plucked chicken to the maid, and then she pushed Yi Shiyan back to her room to dress up. .

When Chen Mo brought the Xia sisters to the kitchen, only Han Aniang and Song Min were busy inside.

"Sister-in-law, where is Xiaolu?" Chen Mo would not call Han Anniang in front of the Xia sisters before she got along well with the Xia sisters.

"Uncle is here." Han Aniang was cutting vegetables and was very focused. When Chen Mo's words sounded, she realized what she was doing. She turned around, glanced left and right, and said:

"Huh? You were still here just now."

Han Anniang was not so particular. As she spoke, she wiped her wet hands on the apron tied to her body, and glanced at the two women who walked in behind Chen Mo: "These two are the Zhi Qing and He Zhi that uncle mentioned. Zhining, right?"

"so big."

This was the first thought that came to the minds of the two sisters at this moment.

Because the kitchen was very hot, Han An was dressed very thinly. She wore an underskirt and a linen apron, which highlighted her plump figure. At this time, her body was slightly leaning forward, and her chest felt like she couldn't hold it. It seems to be pouring down.

Han Anniang was wearing thick clothes last time, so Xia Zhiqing didn't think anything of it when she met her for the first time.

But now, I can't help but feel a little inferior to myself.

"Hello, sister-in-law, I am Xia Zhining, you can just call me Zhining." After a brief pause, a slight blush appeared on Xia Zhining's fair cheeks, and she took the lead in greeting Han Anniang.

Xia Zhiqing: "..."

Chen Mo: "..."
