embarrassment for man and wife

The next day, Zhuohua slept until almost noon before waking up. When he went to the flower hall, he was still a little drowsy and yawned again and again. Seeing Zhuohua like this, Chen could not help being suspicious, and even poked him. Poking Zhuohua's head: "You child, why have you become more and more lazy recently? You can't get up easily if you don't sleep until the sun is high. It's rare to get up earlier today. Why are you still like this?".

Zhuohua rubbed his forehead and stretched fiercely, finally regaining consciousness a bit, but he patted his belly and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Aren't I hungry...".

"You..." Chen Shi laughed.

Ziqing also stepped forward, slapped Zhuohua on the head and said, "Recently, it's getting worse and worse."

"Second brother..." Zhuo Hua looked at him with bright eyes.

Ziqing was obviously taken aback: "What is your expression?".

Zhuo Hua chuckled: "Second brother, can you make me sweet and sour pork ribs?".

Ziqing laughed: "Eat sweet and sour pork ribs early in the morning, I won't be afraid of getting tired of you."

"But I want to eat...".

"But now I'm going out with A Niang." Ziqing patted him on the shoulder: "Why don't you let the kitchen cook it for you, or wait until I come back and cook it for you?".

Hearing this, Zhuohua immediately became a little picky: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."

Chen smiled and said: "Your second brother and I are going to buy some things for the opening of the attic. Do you want to go?"

"I still don't want to go, I don't want to move." Zhuohua was too lazy to be aboveboard, but after the words fell, he was stunned again: "Oh, that's right, how can you not let other people in the house do those things?".

Chen said: "I've been used to doing this all my life, and I'm not used to ordering others around. Besides, I let others do these things, so what should I do?"

Ziqing couldn't help but laugh.

The three of them were talking here when a servant hurried over from outside the door, and after saluting respectfully to the three of them, he said, "Ma'am, this is an invitation from someone from the county lord's mansion, saying that it is for to Mrs.

"County Lord?" Mrs. Chen was obviously taken aback.

Ziqing was also a little suspicious.

Zhuohua saw the post, frowned slightly, and asked: "What about the person who sent the post?".

The boy replied: "The person who sent the post has already gone back."

Zhuo Hua waved his hand to let the young man back down, and when he turned his head again, he saw that Mrs. Chen had already taken apart the post.

This invitation card is finely crafted, with black letters on a red background, and a peony flower print on it. The silver pattern is depicted on the corners. The simple light yellow color is very grand, and the words on the top are neat and beautiful. But... Chen didn't know anyone.

"Hmm... what is this writing?" Chen frowned.

Zhuohua then stretched out his head to look carefully, and then realized: "This seems to be the county lord, who said that he invited you to visit the house tomorrow to enjoy the flowers, so he probably invited you to sit down?".

Chen was startled: "Please let me go? But I don't know him? What kind of official is he? If I go, will I cause Xiaoxiu any trouble?".

"Probably not." Zhuo Hua said: "My uncle is now a great general, but you don't have any female relatives in his house except for Aniang and Xiaoyue. If it's not easy for others to invite my uncle, it's the same to invite you... ...".

Zhuohua was not too sure about what he said, but he felt that this was the general idea.

Ziqing watched from the side, pondered for a while and said suddenly: "I think, why don't you invite Brother Wang to come and have a look?".

Chen's face immediately beamed with joy.

When Wang Man was found here, he was still a little dazed, but when he saw the post in Chen's hand, he immediately understood, he smiled, waved and said, "Madam, don't be nervous, this is asking you to go over and play." Yes, look at the flowers, drink tea, chat, and you'll be fine. Speaking of which, the madam and the two ladies are the only female family members in the house, and there will be many people who want to get close to you in the future. It's nothing important, and This kind of gathering, taking the two ladies out for a walk, is good for their future."

Mrs. Chen listened, and said oh, she understood.

Wang Mian looked at the post and laughed again: "But since I'm going to the county lord's mansion tomorrow, I have to ask Xiao Zhou to prepare new clothes for you."

"Don't worry about it." Chen interrupted hastily: "In my room, there are still many new clothes that haven't been worn, and they are still in storage, so there is no need to make additional preparations. Besides, it is not easy for Xiaoxiu to fight for this family business. , although he is a great general now, there is no reason to waste such a big hand."

When Wan Tuxiu came back from the outside, he just heard this. He smiled and approached Mrs. Chen directly: "What waste is not wasted? Besides, it's not a big deal. You have worked hard before. I'm afraid that I will pass the time in the army." I'm not doing well, and I often ask someone to bring me supplies, and now it should be time for you to enjoy your blessings."

Mrs. Chen sighed softly: "It's not right for you to say that. You are my younger brother. If you are working hard in that kind of place, I will help if I can. It's just that my family used to be poor and couldn't give you anything good, so I just I can give you some sweet potatoes and wild herbs, but luckily you are lucky.”

Wan Tuxiu felt a little touched when he heard it: "It's not my fate, it's something you and your brother-in-law sent that saved my life."

Wang Qian was listening, and was startled: "So at that time, the food we ate was delivered by the madam!".

Both Chen Shi and Zhuo Hua looked at him suspiciously.

Wan Chengxiu turned his head, and suddenly couldn't hold back a kick to kick him!

Chen was startled.

Wan Qixiu sneered: "You still remember!".

"I remember." Wang Qian scratched his head and smiled, "At that time, my buddies followed you to ambush the enemy, and we didn't dare to move after several days and nights. If it weren't for the fact that each of us carried two I am afraid that the sweet potatoes sent by my wife will not last until the end."

Zhuo Hua swallowed, with a slightly dumbfounded expression: "Even if my mother gave something to my uncle, but... that's not enough for so many of you, right?".

Wang Man laughed: "Of course it's not enough, but it just so happens that it's enough for our small team. At that time, there were six people in our small team, including the general. At that time, because we offended the veterans, they were framed by the veterans to do it. The most terrible thing is that the general is powerful, he took us out, and brought us all back."

"You have the nerve to say it." Wan Chengxiu also laughed a little: "At that time, I just received the things my sister entrusted, and I took them back. Seeing their dejected looks, I thought something serious happened. Hey! It was he who took the lead and snatched up all those sweet potatoes! I only cared about them and went, but I didn't get any of them!".

Chen Shi, Ziqing Zhuohua and others were instantly amused when they heard this.

Wang Man also coughed lightly: "Didn't I all share with you at that time?".

"Excuse me!" Wan Chengxiu slapped him on the head: "You snatched three, and I will share one! It's not that I almost beat you, you plan to swallow them all for me!".

Wang Man smiled this time and stopped talking.

Wan Tengxiu looked at Chen Shi, Ziqing and the others and said, "Later, I saw that they were brought back to life by the sweet potato, so I asked what was going on. That night, I took them with me." Carrying sweet potatoes on my back, I also took some herbs, went to the ambush line, and lay in ambush there for three days and two nights, and then risked the danger and won back."

Wang Man followed and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help feeling tense. Thinking of the crisis situation at the time, she couldn't guess how Wan Tuxiu survived the situation at that time, but looking at him in front of him in such a high-spirited manner. Look, Chen put his heart back again.

Wan Tuxiu is the youngest son of the Chen family, but because of the things he brought to the family when he was young, the two sister-in-laws didn't like him. He was in control, and he didn't dare to ask about Wan Qixiu for so many years. Even when Wan Qixiu was sent out that year, the two elder brothers didn't dare to visit him. Only Mrs. Chen would visit Wan Qixiu from time to time. Xiu Jiejie Wan Tuxiu, only the Chen family still missed him wholeheartedly after Wan Tuxiu went to join the army.

The ancients said that an elder brother is like a father and a sister-in-law is like a mother, but for Wan Qixiu, the elder sister is like a mother and brother-in-law is like a father, so when he returned to Beijing, Wan Qixiu only took the Chen family over. .

Thinking of the past, Chen couldn't help feeling a little bit in her heart. She sighed softly, and suddenly looked up at Wan Tuxiu: "By the way, you just came back from court, right? You must be hungry, do you want me to go?" Make you something to eat?"

"I……".

"Yes!" Zhuo Hua suddenly stretched out his head, and stood in front of Wan Tuxiu: "Eat sweet and sour pork ribs!".

puff……

Ziqing couldn't hold back his laughter, and Wan Tuxiu also burst out laughing.

Seeing Zhuo Hua's disappointment, Mrs. Chen couldn't laugh or cry for a while: "Yes, yes, I will make you sweet and sour pork ribs."

Wan Tanxiu patted Zhuohua's head with a funny face: "You little lazy pig, when did you become a greedy cat?".

Zhuohua coughed lightly, and said with a serious face: "I just suddenly want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs." Then, he pulled Che Wantongxiu's hand: "Uncle, can I have some together?".

"Okay, I'll eat something with you."

Zhuohua nodded heavily, and said to Mrs. Chen again: "Then ask for another twice-cooked pork."

Ziqing gave him a blow on the head: "You're welcome...".

"How polite are you to my aunt?" But with a grin, Zhuohua said again: "There's another pumpkin soup!".

Ziqing's expression froze slightly.

Chen was also taken aback, then poked Zhuohua's head with a smile, and then told Shang Ziqing to turn around and go to the kitchen.

When eating, Li Mu and Xiaoliu Xiaoyue came over after smelling the fragrance. The three of them saw that Zhuohua and Wan Tuxiu were eating there, and they were not hungry at first, so they also picked up the bowls and chopsticks.Once there were too many people, Zhuohua became a little anxious, and immediately hugged the bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs tightly with both hands and would not let go!

Seeing his appearance, Li Mu couldn't help laughing.Even the two younger sisters looked at Zhuohua with a little distaste, feeling that he was being stingy, and Mrs. Chen also patted Zhuohua's shoulder amusedly: "What are you doing? There are not enough in the kitchen, and there are more than can be grabbed." .

Zhuo Hua listened, then silently pushed the sweet and sour pork ribs onto the table.

Wan Chengxiu shook his head and smiled, then looked at the two nieces beside him, and suddenly said: "In two days, I will arrange a master for Xiao Liu and the others."

Chen Shi, Li Mu and the others were slightly taken aback.

Wan Tuxiu patted the heads of the two girls and said, "If they don't learn to become martial arts masters, at least they can defend themselves."

Chen Shi and Li Mu listened, and they just nodded.

Xiaoliu Xiaoyue stared at Wan Chengxiu with wide eyes: "In that case, can we be female generals like my uncle in the future?".

Ziqing laughed: "Female general? You want to go far."

Wan Tengxiu said: "If you learn kung fu well, it is not impossible to become a general."

"Then let's learn!" The two girls said in unison, with the same tone and expression.

Zhuohua didn't care about what they were talking about, he just kept his head down and ate. By the time they finished talking, he had already picked up three bowls of rice and finished off a bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs!

When Wan Chengxiu stretched out his chopsticks, he couldn't help but twitched his eyes a few times when he saw the empty bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs.

Zhuo Hua ate so much today...does he really think he is a pig?
