Chapter 206
Ever since he recognized his adoptive father, the eighth master has become the real eighth master of Nanyang Wei.

No one in the entire Nanyang Guard has such a strong family background as this kid, and the commander and general are all his fathers.

"Father rode away by himself? What are you doing!" Wei, no, Master Chen Xiaoba ran out of the camp with his horse, and ordered: "Follow me if you can ride a horse!"

The wind and snow cut the face, and the winter in Guangdong has never been so cold. More than [-] cavalry soldiers followed the snow trails and horseshoes to the north.

Chen Mu was not much faster than Ba ​​Ye. The windy and snowy road was difficult. On the way, he asked for a bowl of hot soup at the farmhouse and had some food. He rode his horse and rested at the Shunde post overnight. It was time to bring Ba Ye and his soldiers to Guangcheng. In the evening of the next day, lanterns were hung in the market, and only the gate of the Drum Tower was closed in the red.

"Guest officer, the small building is closed. It's cold and snowy. Come in and drink a bowl of hot..." The boy who opened the door was halfway through, and saw that the military man in armor and knife at the door looked a little familiar, his eyebrows were covered with snow and steaming. I couldn't recognize him, so I heard the general whose face was frozen green by the wind of the horse said angrily: "I'm Chen Mu, 23 horses, hello, where's the shopkeeper?"

"Chen, General Chen, please come in, villains have eyes..."

"The eyeballs are still there, where is your shopkeeper?"

Chen Mu wasn't in a hurry at first, even if the little girl suddenly closed the restaurant and didn't tell him, she wanted to come over and ask what happened, how could she know that the road was slippery and she was thrown down once when she was approaching Guangcheng? Said that Yan Qingyao went upstairs without saying hello.

"Come here, hurry up and warm up, I'm freezing like a fool, come and heat up a few pots of water!"

Ba Ye's brain was almost frozen to death, as soon as he entered the house, he took the boy's water bottle and poured it into his mouth. , together with a group of servants who were freezing cold, leaned together by the fire, like moths.

Chen Mu crept up the stairs, wanting to sneak a peek at what Zhang Yanqingyao was doing upstairs, but he heard his silly son yelling from below, as if he followed a thief, cursed secretly and raised his head. Going upstairs with her chest upright, just as Yan Qingyao heard the booklets on the desk messily closed downstairs, she stood up and looked at her.

"Ah, why are you here when it's snowing!"

Chen Mu felt that Yan Qingyao was a bit stupid now, frowning, he took two steps forward, and asked, "I'm still asking you, why did Hao Duanduan close the Gufu Building without discussing it with me?"

Yan Qingyao was amused by Chen Mu's normal look, "This is the drum-bellied building of the slave's house, not the general's Wei Yamen. If it is closed, it will be closed. Hmph...you are going to Yuegang."

"Who are you going to Yuegang? Can't you stay in Guangcheng? You don't want to open a restaurant in Haojing. I asked Dan'er to find the shops. How can you go after you leave? Let me see what you wrote."

Chen Mu listened to Yan Qingyao saying that he didn't care about it, but he still laughed when he thought about it, and walked a few steps to the table to read the small book with a more obvious smile on his face, picked it up and said, "This must be my book. Learn it, and make a memorandum, account book?"

But when he opened it, he glanced at the candle and his eyes were glued. Yan Qingyao wanted to grab it, but he didn't dare to really grab it. Chen Mu just dodged and took a closer look at the candlestick. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned. He glanced at Yan Qingyao with strange eyes.

"Walking, sitting, and lying have rules, avoid wind and fire, avoid big strides, and avoid feet out of skirts." Throughout the article, walking, sitting, and lying postures dazzled Chen Mu, and there were messy small characters at the end from time to time, which caused Chen Mu to be astonished: " Husband, madam is it annoying?"

Little girl, are you in a daze, what are you talking about!
Chen Mu laughed until he saw the words 'Mrs. Thousand Households', his expression became more solemn, and when he saw the words "virtuous and virtuous", he closed the notebook and gently put it back on the tea table.

The eyes are sour and the throat is itchy.

I have something to say, but I can't say it.

Sitting slowly at the table, Chen Mu's sitting posture was awkward due to the unaccustomed breastplate, and his tone was a little low: "If you want to be Mrs. Qianhu, why do you want to go to Yuegang?"

How can He De He Neng?

He, Chen, can't even let someone who has no power to bind a chicken kill for him, how can He De let a girl who is used to scolding people in the market to recite such virtues!
The little shopkeeper seemed to have done something wrong, uncharacteristically stood there with his head down and pursed his lips, and said nothing. Chen Mu wiped his face and blinked, making extra movements with his hands, "Sit, this is your restaurant, why stand there?" sit down."

Yan Qingyao was very obedient, sitting at the other table still did not speak, Chen Mu looked anxiously and said: "I said you sit here, why are you sitting so far away..."

"Seven years of different seats for men and women!"

Speech is fast.

Chen Mu was choked, staring but helpless, "Why do you learn that thing, etiquette is used to restrain others, as long as you know it, that's fine! Don't pretend to be an adult there, hard work is not hard, talk well, Why are you going to Moon Harbor all of a sudden?"

The little girl is usually quite cute, why is she so fucking awkward today!
"Forget it, I won't ask you any more. If I ask you, I'll be mad at you. Sit down." Chen Mu rudely pointed to the shopkeeper, "Just sit down. Didn't you tell me the book of rites, the order of your parents? Do you know what the matchmaker said? I’ll write a letter to Uncle Yan when I get back, and I’ll propose marriage, so that all the local soldiers will follow with hoes, and when the suona blows, you’ll be covered with a red cloth, and you’ll even be moved to Nanyangwei with Gufulou!”

"Stupid or not, what kind of Madam Qianhu would you like to be a conductor?"

Yan Qingyao turned around like a little rabbit and sat down, staring at her big bright eyes with tears in her eyes, "Are you really marrying me?"

"do not!"

It was Chen Mu's turn to stare. What kind of trick is this?
How did you know that Yan Qingyao counted with his fingers, "It's not right for you to marry me. You are already a third-rank official. My sisters say that if you marry a wife like me, people in the officialdom will laugh at you. You take me back , as long as you go to the government to draw a mortgage, and you can't sell me, you don't need a lot of money."

"A third-rank official, who is in charge of a third-rank official's marriage?" Chen Mu's expression was extremely arrogant, and he leaned back slightly and patted the tiger's head on the breastplate, "The third-rank official has the final say!"

"That's not okay!" Yan Qingyao shook her head very seriously, wrinkled her little nose and said to Chen Mu: "You accept me and marry Miss Yang of Bozhou, hey, is Miss Yang good-looking?"

This little woman's brain circuit has always been good at selling herself to others to count money, Chen Mu shook his head, "I haven't seen it, but her brother Yang Yinglong is pretty good-looking."

"That's fine. I've heard that the Yang family of Bozhou is a real noble, and they are very rich." The shopkeeper opened his hand and drew a big circle, "Their dowry is going to send you a city in Nanyangwei What! Both money and sex, don't worry, Miss Yang is a noble woman, I respect her and let her go."

"I haven't called Jun Ye for a long time, come and call Jun Ye to listen."

Chen Mu pursed his lips, and heard Yan Qingyao's hesitant call out to Mr. Jun, with his eyes closed, he let out a long response from his throat, lightly tapped on the table and stretched his arms, saying: "Serve the wine."

When the wine came, Chen Mu poured it down, choking until his eyes turned red.

"I have a city. In my hometown of Yuegang, people call me Chen Bancheng, and the whole street is mine. Others say you have a low status, but if you don't steal or lie to yourself to support yourself, it's not shameful, and my status is also low."

"In the 45th year of Jiajing, I was in Qingyuanwei. The armor leaves were embroidered with knives and the leaves fell off. My house was leaking from all sides, and the table was missing a leg. My sister-in-law just gave birth to the last bit of food and gave it to my younger brother to survive. I was so hungry that I wandered in the mountains all afternoon. I don’t know how to hunt, and I can’t even get rabbits. I have to pick up a bunch of rotten wild vegetables in other people’s vegetable fields, and I have today’s General Zhaoyong. I have nothing.”

"When Heiling met a bandit, he was afraid of dying and being kicked by the bandit. I didn't want to die, so I killed five of them. They couldn't kill me."

"Others say that I am bold and not afraid of death. That is because I have always tried my best not to die. A bad life and a crooked gun. No matter how bad my life is, I still want to live. I want to live, I just want to live, and I will live if anyone doesn't let me live." who to kill."

"The governor didn't let me in. I sat outside the yamen and read a book all afternoon. I almost got dizzy. When I asked why I was outside, I said that the governor's door was a good way to enjoy the cool. I'm not the hero that others think. I don't care about anything and just want to live. .”

"I am not greedy for riches and honor. Wealth makes me safe, so I will be rich. Poverty makes me safer, so I will be poor. I have hands and feet. What is not created by spelling? You say Miss Yang is good, you can give me a city, That's right, very good! Not only do I think it's good, I also think that Yang Yinglong's sister should be very beautiful, and with the help of the Banzhou Yang family, I can go further in the next 20 years."

"But I'm only 24, and I can't go further. If I go further, I will die."

Chen Mu was very serious when he said this, as if he would die if he went further, "You are doing my best, I know. If I need to get married now, I will immediately go to Bozhou to marry his sister back, whatever I want. But I can live now, and I live quite comfortably, so I can marry whoever I want."

"When others laugh, let others laugh. When one laughs at me, I laugh too; when 100 people laugh at me, I endure it; when 1 people laugh at me, I can't help but cry..."

Chen Mu tilted his head slightly, and Yan Qingyao could see his white teeth clenched in his slightly parted lips, his eyes became dangerous, and he suppressed the smile she wanted to make when she heard Chen Mu say that she would cry, and saw He leaned forward slightly, and whispered: "When I cry, I lift the table, and I will laugh when they cry."

"call!"

After all, Chen Mu sat up straight, his expression returned to normal, he exhaled fiercely, and said with a smile: "I've never told anyone before, it's much more comfortable, I know you don't understand, it's okay, how about it, my last name is Let's go through the door?"

"But... you'd better accept me." Yan Qingyao pursed her lips, making a difficult decision: "I don't want people to laugh at you, not even one."

Snapped!
"It's easy, then choose." On the way here, Chen Mu had already figured it out, clapped his hands and said, "I'll go back and write to Uncle Yan, no, it's up to you to write, because Uncle Yan feels that I'm using power to overwhelm others. You tell him that I want to propose a marriage, and ask him if he agrees to recognize another adoptive father for you. If he agrees, you can choose him. Seven or eight."

"I'll take you to visit. I haven't kneeled properly in the past few years. It's not that I can't, I just don't want to. But if I kneel to Lao Tzu and Grandpa Yue, it's okay."

Chen Mu said this extremely serious matter like a joke, "In the past, you were responsible for telling the story and telling the story of the Zhenwu Camp Mutiny. We are also officials; I am responsible for kneeling and kowtowing. There are many officials in Guangdong. There are many people I don’t know, those who ignore me and those who look down on me, but there are not many who can catch my knees and my head.”

"Marry me, a wife follows husband's position, you are the third-rank wife ordered by the court, and I am a third-rank commander, it is difficult to ask others to adopt a daughter-in-law?"

Chen Mu looked like a piece of hob meat, curled his lips, and fixed his eyes on Yan Qingyao, "If not, then you have to go home with me today - in the future, life and death, you will be my people, the army Grandpa accepts it!"

　I have to go out again today, so I don’t have to wait for the morning to post it. I can’t confirm the time for the chapter in the evening. If it’s late, I’ll read it together the day after tomorrow.
