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

The next day, the sky was bright, and the summer morning light shone in the courtyard, the golden light was dazzling, and the pavilions and towers seemed to be covered with a layer of golden gauze, magnificent and magnificent.

This also made the air become sultry.

Chen Mo opened his eyes and turned his face. Suddenly, he felt numb in both arms. He found that Xiao Yunxi and Xiao Ya were holding one of his arms and pressing him down, and two white and slender legs were also on his body, but Chen Mo could not feel a trace of enjoyment, but a little hot.

Looking at the golden light pouring into the house through the window, Chen Mo understood that Linzhou was also starting to heat up.

He gently pulled his arms away from the arms of the two women, and wanted to go out and ask the servants to fetch water for a bath. After a night of lingering last night, his body was full of sweat and a different smell mixed with a smell. Although it was not unpleasant, it would be a bit uncomfortable if he didn't wash it off.

However, when he stood up, his face couldn't help but stagnate, and the sharp sword was not unsheathed for a while.

Xiao Ya, who was lying next to him, frowned and groaned softly, with a hint of pain between her eyebrows. Then the girl opened her clear eyes, and when she saw the young man's face clearly, she was a little confused for a while, and then her eyes couldn't help but glance down, and soon the fair and tender face turned blood red.

She dodged her eyes for a while, recalling the various lingering last night, and the last practice before going to bed was between herself and her husband.

She pursed her lips shyly, then raised her eyes and whispered: "Husband, you are awake. Do you want to get up? I will help you get up."

After that, Xiao Ya frowned and moved. With the sound of a red wine bottle cork being opened, Xiao Ya took a long breath of cold air, and then quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, for fear of waking up her aunt who had not woken up yet.

"Xiao Ya, are you okay?" Chen Mo looked at Xiao Ya's painful expression. He didn't expect that she was still so uncomfortable after a night.

"It's much better now." Xiao Ya was about to get up and find clothes to help Chen Mo change clothes, but the latter held her slender hand.

"Xiao Ya, lie down quickly. I'm not that delicate. I can do it myself." Chen Mo smiled warmly and said softly.

Xiao Ya's lazy voice was a little hesitant, and her eyes showed a trace of worry. She said: "Husband, this is not good, and according to the rules, I have to go to serve tea to Sister Mi later."

Although she had entered the house a long time ago, she just shared the same room last night, so she was considered a new bride and had to pay respects and serve tea to the legal wife.

"There's nothing wrong. I'm the eldest in this mansion. I will tell your sister Mi. It's okay."

Speaking, Chen Mo helped Xiao Ya lie down, and then said: "Let me see."

"Ah?!" Xiao Ya was startled, suddenly put her legs together, and put her hands under her body to protect her, her cheeks flushed with shame.

But she still couldn't resist Chen Mo's curiosity, so she could only say shyly: "Husband, don't."

Chen Mo glanced at her, as if he was stung by a bee, and said softly: "I'll ask your sister Mi to get some medicine for you to rub."

"No, don't do it." Xiao Ya waved her hands in shame and panic, and her voice was crying. If she really did that, it would be too embarrassing.

"Don't what? Husband, don't bully Xiao Ya so early in the morning." Xiao Yunxi had been woken up by the two people. She didn't know the situation at the moment, so she just thought Chen Mo was bullying Xiao Ya so early in the morning, so she raised her hand and pulled Chen Mo's arm to ask him to stop.

After understanding what happened, Xiao Yunxi's plump and attractive cheeks also blushed, and she immediately complained to Chen Mo: "Husband, it's all your fault. You don't know how to pity Xiaoya at all."

Chen Mo: "..."

He already felt pity, but he didn't expect Xiaoya's physique to be different from ordinary people. He didn't argue, but just took the blame on himself and said: "Blame me, it's all my fault."

As he said, Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yunxi and said: "Yunxi, you are the elder, Xiaoya will be taken care of by you."

This time Xiao Ya didn't object. After last night, there were no secrets between the two women.

...

On the other side, in Yang Qingqing's room.

A ray of golden morning light shone in from the window and sprinkled on Yang Qingqing's face. It was warm. The sun's glare made Yang Qingqing raise her hand to block it, but she didn't wake up immediately. Until she felt uncomfortable in the sun, Yang Qingqing suddenly thought of something, sat up suddenly, and opened her eyes.

She looked around blankly, looking at the books that fell on the ground and the pipa next to it. She suddenly thought of something and reached out to touch the back of her neck, and felt a pimple-like swelling.

She quickly checked her body and saw that there was nothing wrong with her body and the chastity was still there. She murmured, "What happened last night?"

She couldn't help but feel annoyed. Seeing that the white tiger Dabai was still sleeping there, Yang Qingqing couldn't help but pick up the books on the ground and smashed them at Dabai.

Hit the forehead.

Dabai, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes and looked at the books that fell in front of him. Dabai was about to roar, but suddenly saw the host's unfriendly expression. His movements froze, and he carefully lowered his head. He looked around blankly, wondering who made the host angry.

...

One month ago.

Cangzhou, Lu'an County.

On the bumpy official road, hundreds of people were walking tiredly with their families, carrying packages on their backs, and pushing wheelbarrows. Fortunately, the weather was dry and the road was not as muddy as in spring. Although it was bumpy, it was still easy to walk on.

In the team, there are many groups divided by family. Dai Ling's family of three, Huang Zhaodi and her son, Huang's father and mother are one group. At this moment, this group is talking.

"Finally we have arrived in Cangzhou. I heard that Lu'an County suffered a great disaster before, and many people died. It is the most difficult to investigate. Let's settle down in Lu'an County." Dai Ling, the leader of the group, said in a low voice.

And this team of hundreds of people are all those who fled to the south when the north was in chaos. Now they heard that the north has stabilized a little, so they rushed back with their families.

After all, it is the place where their ancestors have lived for generations. No matter how good the south is, it is not as good as their former home.

"Zhaodi, hurry up, while the sun is not so strong in the morning, hurry to Lu'an County. If you wait until the sun is strong, you will be sunburned to death." Dai Ling turned around and said to Huang Zhaodi who was carrying his son.

"Zhao Di, let me carry the child for a while. You took care of the child last night and didn't sleep much." Huang's father took off the bag on his back and handed it to Huang's mother, and then he went to pick up the child carried by Huang Zhao Di.

Dai Ling's wife Wang used her elbow to gently support her fourteen-year-old son and asked him to go over to help.

"Grandma, let me help you with the luggage." Dai Ling's son Dai Qi stepped forward to help Huang's mother.

Wang took the opportunity to ask: "Zhao Di, has Hu'er's fever subsided?"

Hu'er is the nickname of Huang Zhao Di's son.

"It's gone." After handing her son to Huang's father, Huang Zhao Di felt much less pressure. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, squeezed out a smile and said: "Aunt, thanks to you and Uncle Ling for taking care of me along the way. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would do. After I meet Dai Tu, I will definitely let Dai Tu thank you."

Huang Zhao Di wanted to cry just thinking about the hardships and experiences along the way.

When passing through Huai, Lin, Yu, and Qing, the journey was peaceful, the road was flat, and there were post stations, so it was very smooth.

But after arriving in Gaozhou, everything changed.

It was not bad to have a difficult road, but you had to be careful of the "road bullies" who blocked the road.

But if you really encounter a "road bully", it's not bad. These people are the people who can't survive in the north, the lower-class people. If they stop you, they will only ask you for some food and money, and they won't take all of it. They will leave some for you.

But if you encounter bandits, it's hard to say.

I don't know if you have bad luck or luck.

Dai Ling, Huang Zhaodi and others encountered bandits once, and they almost robbed them of all their property and food. If Dai Ling and Huang's father were not old, they hid some broken silver and gold leaves in their anus and soles, they would not have been able to reach Cangzhou at all.

Fortunately, the bandits they encountered did not kill them.

Afterwards, they also encountered a gang of human traffickers who abducted women and children. Fortunately, Dai Ling and Huang Zhaodi's sons were grown up, so the gang of human traffickers did not do anything to them. They just warned them a few words and then went their separate ways.

There were also evil boatmen.

Black shops on the roadside.

If Dai Ling had not traveled far and wide and had seen a lot, he would have been caught.

It was with Dai Ling's experience that the group arrived in Cangzhou safely.

When they first arrived in Cangzhou, Huang Zhaodi's son suddenly fell ill, and had a high fever.

The most important thing was that they were unfamiliar with the place and they didn't know where to find a doctor.

In the end, there was really no other way, so Dai Ling tried his best to save the situation. He picked some herbs based on his experience and boiled medicine for Huang Zhaodi's son with a folk recipe.

Now it seems that he really succeeded.

Before the sun was high, Dai Ling and his group finally arrived at Lu'an County in a hurry.

They and the people who came back from the south rushed to the government office as soon as possible.

When Chen Mo drove away the Jinxia barbarians and came back, he made preliminary arrangements for the north.

After taking control of the court, Chen Mo asked the emperor to issue various stable policies for the north.

Among them, as long as you settle in the north, you can get land and fields.

However, various policies are good, but the people below don't do things.

In fact, at the beginning, the people below still do things.

When Chen Mo drove away the Jinxia barbarians and took control of the north, because he had no talents to govern the local area at that time, Chen Mo asked the clerks in the original government offices in various places to temporarily maintain the operation of the government offices and wait for the officials to take office.

However, it has been almost two years since then, and there is still no official to take office, but the silver that Chen Mo left in the north has been used up.

The local government office has no money, and the skin on his body may not be able to be kept in the future, so the people in the government office began to have different ideas.

There is a policy of settling down and dividing land and fields.

But there is a process in the middle.

If you give me money, I will do it faster.

If you don't give me anything, I will do it slower, or even delay it.

When Dai Ling and his friends arrived, the clerks in the yamen stretched out their hands and mouths to ask them for money, without even pretending.

Dai Ling said he had no money, and the clerks told them to get out of the way.

Because Dai Ling and his friends came to Lu'an County to settle down, they had other purposes, so they naturally couldn't bring out Dai Tu to scare people.

So the group gathered the remaining valuables and gave them to the clerks.

The clerks then said with a smile: "Name?"

Dai Ling looked back at Huang Zhaodi.

Huang Zhaodi immediately understood and came forward with her son: "This is my son, Guo Feng."

"Age?"

"Just turned nine years old."

"Where are you from originally?"

"We are natives of Cangzhou, but from Mancang County next door."

"Then why did you settle down in Lu'an?"

"We offended someone in Mancang County and were afraid of being retaliated by them, so."

"Okay, next one."

After the clerk registered Dai Ling and his group, he gave them two sets of keys and said, "This is where you live, in Dingzi No. 2 Hutong in the west of the city... As for the land, you have to wait for unified distribution. Come to the government office again in three days, and I will take you to measure the land."

"Thank you, sir."

...

Three days later, Dai Ling and Huang Zhaodi's families got the land as they wished, but of course the condition of the land was a little unsatisfactory.

Wang said, "Why do others have paddy fields, but our land is so much worse?"

The clerk said coldly, "With the little money you gave, you can only get these."

Although Wang was angry when she heard this, she had no choice but to endure it first.

Dai Ling said, "Sir, didn't you hear that there are rice seeds?"

"Go find whoever told you that, there are none in Lu'an County anyway." The clerk said, and left without looking back.

It is said that there are rice seeds, but in the situation in the north, the landlords don't have any surplus grain, so what's the point of distributing them? You can find a way yourself.

Fortunately, Dai Ling and Huang's father are not from the lower class. They have some money in their hands. They didn't give all of it to the clerk before, so they hid a little and used it to buy things now.

After a few days, Dai Ling and Huang Zhaodi's families settled down in Lu'an County.

After "Guo Feng" recovered from his illness, Dai Ling suggested that it was time to recognize his relatives.

Huang Zhaodi agreed, and they were indeed living a miserable life now.

They mortgaged the allocated land for a sum of money to use as travel expenses for recognizing their relatives. In the end, Huang Zhaodi, Huang Zhaodi's son "Guo Feng" and "Guo Ling" (Dai Ling) went to Linzhou.

Dai Ling learned a lesson from the mess he encountered in Cangzhou, so when he went to Xiangyang, he deliberately took a detour to avoid these places.

However, there were more than one place where bandits and road bullies were.

Even if Dai Ling and his team were careful, careful, and careful, they still accidentally encountered another wave of bandits.

And this wave of bandits was not like the previous wave of bandits.

Not only did they want money, they also wanted to kill people.

However, Dai Ling and his team were really lucky. Just when the bandits were about to kill them, they met their savior.

It was Lin Zhong who came to Lu'an County to take office.

After Chen Mo knew that there was chaos in the local area, he sent more than ten soldiers to protect Lin Zhong when he left Xiangyang, which would also help Lin Zhong quickly open up the situation and take control of the government office after taking office.
