Chu Ying has always been a light sleeper, and early the next morning, she was woken up by the rustling sound under the window.She slept in the house yesterday, Chu Dachi took his two sons to sleep in the cave, and gave the room to her and his grandmother.

It was still early, and when she saw her grandmother sleeping and waking up, Chu Ying got off the bed lightly, and walked out with her shoes on.Turning the corner of the room, following the sound, Yuan Xu could be seen crouching under the window of their room from a distance, tinkering with something.Not far in front of him, the bamboo basket fell on the ground, it was the one tied around his waist when his father came back last night.

Chu Ying walked over on tiptoe, intending to scare him and see what he was doing by the way.Unexpectedly, Yuan Xu was very vigilant, and when Xiu Ying was about ten steps away, he suddenly turned his head.Only then did Chu Ying see that he was holding a steel chisel in one hand and holding a colorful flower snake in the other. wrapped around his slender arms.

"My god!" Chu Ying was frightened out of her wits, and ran away, because she turned around too quickly, and one shoe ran away.

"Second girl!" Yuan Xu frightened Chu Ying when he saw it, he stood up quickly, and chased her a few steps, "Don't be afraid, my father caught it yesterday, I plan to kill it, today I made snake soup for you a long time ago! There are still several in the bamboo basket!" As he spoke, the snake flicked in his hand.

"Don't come here!" Chu Ying screamed, seeing Liu Xianglian running out from behind the mountain, she quickly hid behind him in fright, "Help! There are snakes!"

Liu Xianglian was also taken aback when she saw this, she pulled out her sword and pointed at Yuan Xu, "You, what do you want to do? Put it down!"

"Oh? Oh!" Yuan Xu was confused by the surprise of the two people, and immediately put the flower snake on the ground obediently.As soon as the flower snake was free, it immediately swam on the ground quickly.

"Ah one by one" Chu Ying screamed earth-shatteringly, and hugged Liu Xianglian behind her back, her whole body stuck to him, probably treating him like a tree, she kept climbing on his back, Liu Xianglian His body tensed up all of a sudden.

Only then did Yuan Xu come to his senses, he strode forward, and his strike was like lightning. Before the two could see clearly, he grabbed the flower snake and quickly stuffed it into the bamboo basket on the ground.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Chu Ying let go of Liu Xianglian.The two glanced at each other, and quickly looked away.Liu Xianglian was still a little uncomfortable, but Xiuying quickly returned to normal, and went up to talk to Yuan Xu excitedly, "Time and time again, you really impress me! Let me tell you, you are really courageous." , even dare to catch a snake?"

"What's the matter? I usually catch snakes in the wild. What matters is that I have quick eyesight and quick hands, and I am bold and careful. How many adults can't compare to me!" Yuan Xu didn't think so.

"Aren't you afraid it will bite you? The snake you took just now has a triangular head and is covered in flowers. It looks poisonous. I was so scared that my legs went limp!"

"How should I put it? The more poisonous the snake, the more valuable it is. If it is not poisonous, I don't want to do it! I was bitten by a snake when I was a child, but I was rescued by my father. He is very good at treating snake venom." Said Then he dumped the bamboo basket on the ground again, "I can't talk to you anymore, I have to make breakfast. If the girl is afraid, please go away, I will start killing snakes again."

With lingering fear in her heart, Xiuying hurried back, seeing Liu Xianglian still standing there in a daze, she asked him, "Why don't you leave? Aren't you also afraid of snakes?"

"Who said I'm afraid of snakes? I'm not afraid!" Liu Xianglian snorted coldly and raised her head.

"Hey, when I saw that snake just now, I was so frightened that my sword was blown. What kind of hero are you pretending to be now?"

"Have you never heard of Han Gaozu beheading a snake? When he saw a snake, he wanted to draw his sword. Why can't I? It's better than some people scaring chickens and cats howling."

"You say I'm a cock and cat screaming like a ghost?"

"Didn't you tell me first?"

"What did I say to you?"

"What did you say, you don't remember when you turn around?"

"Stingy! I'm just asking casually, why are you so stubborn? It's inexplicable!" Su Ying muttered and walked back, "If you like to watch, just watch here, I won't bother to talk to you!"

As soon as she took a few steps, Liu Xianglian strode up to catch up with her, passed her forward, and pushed her to stagger, which made Xiuying even more puzzled.Originally, she thought that the matter had already been discussed with him, and everything was developing in a healthy way, and the two of them would be able to kill each other very quickly, so why are they having an awkward fight now?

It is said that a woman's heart is a sea needle, and this man's mind is even more difficult to guess!As a single mother and fetus for two generations, Xu Ying couldn't figure it out.

After breakfast, the group headed towards Suiyang City. After walking a long way, Chu Ying looked back and saw Yuan Xu was still standing there, watching them from afar.

I wonder if he took what I said to him last night to heart?Although he didn't agree right away at that time, he should have been moved, otherwise he wouldn't be standing there all the time today.

People talk a lot, and when they left, Mrs. Xu was still talking to Chu Dachi, asking him to let Yuan Xu go to study. Chu Ying saw that Chu Dachi's face was gloomy, and Mrs. Xu didn't pay attention because her old eyes were dim. , Yuan Xu's life is likely to be even more difficult, thinking of this, she felt wronged for Yuan Xu.

Because of the faster pace, everyone arrived in Suiyang in the afternoon.Chu Ying went to find a shop for her grandmother and younger siblings to live in first, and she took Zhou Feng and Zhou Cheng to the county government to inquire about the situation.After arriving in Suiyang City, Liu Xianglian disappeared. Chu Ying thought that he might be sulking and left without saying goodbye. Although she didn't say anything, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.After all, after walking together for such a long time, it is really not used to losing such a person suddenly.

According to the information provided by Chu Laoqi, Chu Ying planned to go directly to the Zhengyin official, a county magistrate surnamed Lu.But no matter what age, the county magistrate is not someone who can meet just by saying it. Chu Ying had already made preparations, and each had a copy of the name cards of her biological father and stepfather, and arranged for him to send them in.

I don't know whose famous post played a role, but after a while, the magistrate of Lu County agreed to meet them in Houya.Chu Ying only brought Zhou Feng in.

This county magistrate is a little old man, dry and thin, with a moustache, he looks like a shrewd accountant.Seeing Chu Ying, he was obviously a little surprised, "Don't you say it's a brother? Why is it a girl?" It turned out that Chu Ying wrote that he was the son of so-and-so in all the worship posts.

Chu Ying saluted helplessly, "I have no choice but to forgive the old parents. The grandmother at home is old, and the younger siblings are young. Because of this incident, the grandmother was furious and was not in good health. I had no choice but to come out." This is the next policy."

Lu Zhixian snorted, stroking his moustache, "Although I know all about this matter, I can't just listen to your side of the story. According to Luoxian Cheng and household owner Bo, you, Fourth Uncle Chu, are filial and good-neighborly. He is also very famous, and he is also a scholar, so he would definitely not do such unfilial and unrighteous things. The inside story of this is still to be discussed. In this way, you go back first, and I will go to Qingfeng Village to inquire about the situation first, and then make a decision. Next time you don't need to post the greeting card, just wait for the day when I open the hall, you just write the pleadings and submit it." As he said, he wanted to serve tea to see off the guests.

As soon as Chu Ying heard it, she understood that Lu Zhixian was perfunctory her.Willing to see her is naturally the effect of money, and it was also after reading the two invitation posts that he was curious, so he saw her; when he met, he found that she was just a little girl, so he started to talk bureaucratically; Dead, one is too far away, the Seventh Grade Langguan from Nanhubu, who doesn't know any cats or dogs.

Chu Ying wrote very pitifully on the worship post. She thought that Lu Zhixian would see justice for her in the name of the same official status as her father. Now it seems impossible. What kind of friendship, and what kind of friendship with her.

Suddenly thought of something, Chu Ying stood up, "So that the old parents can learn that my eldest sister is named You, and she will marry into the Ningguo Duke Jia's mansion soon, and her husband is the third-rank General Wei Lie. The patriarch of the Jia family, General Jia Zhenjia."

Hu Zhixian was stunned, and swallowed his saliva after a while, and asked with difficulty, "But the Jia family with one family and two lords in Beijing?"

Chu Ying smiled, "Is there a second Jia family in Beijing?"

Hu Zhixian's eyes flickered, and he was about to say something more, when he heard the chief follower report, "Master, the door said, there is a little brother outside, who claims to be Liu Qinghou's nephew, and he still holds a greeting card from the Zhongshun Palace in his hand. I want to see my lord!"

"Huh?" Hu Zhixian was excited again, and this time he broke a few of his beards, which made him tremble with pain.

"Please, please!" Hu Zhixian hurriedly stood up, "Forget it, I'd better go to greet you!" What gods have been provoked by this!

Chu Ying and Zhou Feng couldn't help but glanced at each other.

Could it be Liu Xianglian?

After a while, I really saw that Hu Zhixian arched his back and welcomed a person in. He was dressed in white and light boots, with pearls on his forehead, handsome and beautiful, who is it not Liu Xianglian?

Glancing at the two of them, Liu Xianglian cleared her throat pretentiously, "Master Lu, you understand what I just said, right?"

"Understood, I understand. I'm going to ask Mr. Cao, the boss, to clarify this matter immediately. I will never delay Mr. Liu's schedule! Mr. Liu and this girl are waiting here. I will deal with it immediately, and then go down It will take half an hour at most to issue the document, Mr. Liu, you just rest here, and I will finish it soon after having an extra cup of tea!" He hurried away.

Chu Ying looked at Liu Xianglian, and after a long time said with a complicated expression: "Thank you."

Liu Xianglian snorted, "I'm not going to get something, I'll be here soon, you are lucky, you can't wait to enter this county office; why, you think you are very smart and omnipotent? What is the matter in this world? Is it as simple as you think?"

Chu Ying knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't make a sound, and after a long while, she muttered in a low voice, "It must be!"

But Liu Xianglian heard it, and walked in front of her, "Do you think that if you mention the Jia Mansion, this Huzhi County will be at your mercy and let you drive? Is it okay to say it? You mentioned that Youshi is yours." Eldest sister, does she recognize you? You mentioned Jia's house, why should they stand up for you? Do you think the county magistrate is a fool?"

Chu Ying blushed at what he said, so she had to stand there stupidly. Liu Xianglian couldn't bear it when she saw it, so she changed her tone, "Ask me first if you have anything to do in the future. You can do it if I say it can be done." Seeing that both Chu Ying and Zhou Feng had strange expressions, they hurriedly added, "I mean this journey."

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Huzhi County came over in a hurry again, "Mr. Liu, as soon as the documents are answered, I have already ordered them to issue them. Please check them out. There are 250 mu of dry land in Qingfeng Village. There are 120 mu of irrigated land and more than 170 mu of mountain land, all of which are sacrifice fields set up by Zongzhao of the Chu family. The rest of the clan and others can give priority to renting the land, but they cannot divide the land. These are all new land deed documents, please take care of them.”

Liu Xianglian hummed, and looked at Chu Ying, "What are you still doing in a daze? Put it away!"

Chu Ying was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the document, thinking to herself, I'll let you be embarrassed at this moment, who asked you to help me!

Liu Xianglian bowed her hands to thank Lu Zhixian again, and Lu Zhixian quickly returned the gift, "How dare you! This is all a matter of the next level. In front of the prince, I would like to ask Mr. Liu to give you a lot of good words. After this old man's term, he will also be raised. In [-], if the prince can help me mention a sentence in front of the hall officials, it is better than me writing ten scriptures for begging for bones!"

Liu Xianglian smiled, "Master Hu, don't worry, I always keep my word."

Just a little stingy.

Chu Ying slandered.

The three of them left the county office and rode forward on mules and horses. Chu Ying became happy again, "I'm going to go back quickly and tell my grandmother to make her happy too."

After a while, she laughed excitedly again, "Go back to Qingfeng Village tomorrow, kill it and return it to the carbine, I want to divide the land! That shrew surnamed Sun dares to throw me with rotten vegetables, I want her to look good!"

"Look, don't you be happy and silly?" Liu Xianglian turned her head and said to Zhou Feng with a smile.

Normally, he is very cold.

This was the first time he took the initiative to talk to Zhou Feng.

"Hey one by one" Zhou Feng could only laugh dryly, he didn't dare to answer this question.

Chu Ying rolled her big eyes at him, but Liu Xianglian was not angry at all this time, she lowered her head, and he even raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Early the next morning, Chu Ying left her younger sister in Suiyang, under the care of Mother He and Yin Bao, while she took her grandmother, younger brother, Zhou Feng, Zhou Cheng and Liu Xianglian, and hurried all the way back to Qingfeng Village.

On the fifth day of May, the ancestral hall is opened, the ancestors are worshipped, the ceremonies are held in Ming Dynasty, and the fields are worshipped.Mrs. Xu hugged Yuan Lin and walked into the ancestral hall slowly. Since the previous generation, this room of the Chu family has been the patriarch of the Chu family. Even if the son is an official outside, he is also the head of the clan in name, and no one can overshadow him go.As the son's only heir, Yuan Lin is the best choice for the patriarch.Before he grows up, this position can be temporarily taken by others, but this position must not fall into the hands of any other party, including him, Chu Zongsheng.

Supporting the little Yuan Lin, after kowtowing in the ancestral hall, Xu's eyes became moist again.As the only Jinshi of the Chu family for so many years, her son's spirit card is particularly eye-catching, why doesn't this make her sad?Holding Yuan Lin in his arms, he retreated step by step. As soon as Xu raised his head, he saw a thin young man walking in quickly, and knocked his head three times to Chu Zongzhao's spirit seat.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Xu's face turned pale with shock.

The young man who kowtowed his head also slowly backed out, Xu saw that it was Chu Yuanxu.

"Grandmother, please be respected by my grandson!" Yuan Xu kowtowed three more times to Mrs. Xu.

"Hey, good boy, get up quickly, what are you?" Xu was still puzzled.

Chu Ying is a girl and can't enter the ancestral hall, so she didn't greet her with a smile until Yuan Xu walked out with her help.

Yuan Xu knelt down again with a bang, "Sister is on top one by one"

"Hey one by one" Chu Ying helped him up, "We are sisters and brothers, how can we do such a big gift! Get up!" While smiling, she said to Xu: "Grandmother, from today, Yuan Xu It's your grandson, how about we take him to Jinling and study with Yuanlin?"

Mrs. Xu was very surprised, "Dachi and his wife also agree?"

Chu Ying smiled, "Of course. I allow him to be the second wife. What do his parents disagree with? Some people help raise their son and pay for their studies. Where can I find such a good thing?"

"It's a good feeling!" Xu was so excited that she hugged Yuan Xu in her arms, "This child is sensible and loving, and I have a fate with him! Come on, call grandma again!" Grandson Yuan Lin still can't speak yet.

"Grandmother." Yuan Xu was a little shy, but still called softly but firmly.

"Hey!" Mrs. Xu replied very loudly, and everyone on the side laughed.

Yuan Xuniang silently wiped away tears, Chu Dachi remained expressionless, and Yuan Xu didn't look at them again.

"Let's go, Yuan Xu, you just ride this old horse. Look, how thoughtful my sister is, she even prepared a horse for you when she comes!" Chu Ying said jokingly.

"Thank you, sister!" Although he knew she was joking, Yuan Xu still responded softly, his voice was clear and serious, his mouth was slightly pursed, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, and there were actually a pair of faint dimples on his face.

"Drive!" He hit the horse vigorously and ran forward quickly.
