"Mom, look there is a cat on the eaves!"

Early in the morning, Chu Yuanjin was drawing water from the well when he heard his daughter calling him.

She looked up, but saw no trace of the cat.

"Mom, the cat ran away. It's a tabby cat."

"Forget it and run away. Our family is observing filial piety and there is nothing to feed it. Su'er, go and put the chopsticks in place. Let's eat."

"good!"

The little girl had her hair combed over her head and tied with a white cloth belt. She jumped into the house, her headband fluttering like a flying butterfly.

After a while, the little head popped out again:

"Mom, are Grandma Mi and Grandma Liang still here today? Grandma Mi said she still wants to teach me how to write!"

Chu Yuanjin held a bucket half filled with water and said with a smile:

"Today is a day off in the morning. Not only is your grandma Mi coming, but your grandpa named Li is probably coming too. Your grandma Liang can't come. Yesterday afternoon, your grandma Liang had someone send a letter. She has something going on at home.

"

"Grandma Liang is so busy." Su'er blinked, "Mom, next time we see Grandma Liang, let's ask her to stop being so busy."

The little girl who had arranged their chopsticks looked at her mother eagerly, like a little tail:

"Mom, please stop being busy."

Chu Yuanjin poured the water into the water tank. The original water under the water tank was frozen. She tapped it with a ladle and poured the water into the copper pot.

There are always people coming to my house these days to worship, some of them I don’t know. Their family has always been poor. They neither accept the sacrifice nor can they afford a meal. They only have a cup of tea to serve. It would be less hasty to boil the water earlier.

.

Hearing his daughter's words, Chu Yuanjin was stunned.

Ever since her mother passed away, Su'er has said this most often.

She once told Su'er with a smile that she could take care of herself, but she scared Su'er to tears because her mother had said the same thing many times before her death.

Thinking about it now, every time, it was like a life-threatening charm.

"Okay, I'll stop cooking once the water is boiled. Mom and Su'er will have breakfast together and then watch Su'er write."

"Yeah." Su'er nodded, and the little butterfly on the back of her head flew around.

Breakfast was millet porridge, a few steamed cakes, and eggs steamed with soy sauce soup. Su'er knelt on a stool and divided the egg into two parts with chopsticks. She took the smaller piece and pushed the bowl in front of her mother.

"Mom, didn't you say there is an Aunt Qing in Yanjing City? When can we see her? Su'er has to thank her aunt for the copybooks and clothes she gave Qing'er."

Chu Yuanjin wanted to push the egg back, but raised his hand and put it down again.

"Your Aunt Qing is in Zhuangzi outside Yanjing City. It's inconvenient to go out. It's inconvenient for us to go out while wearing mourning. When your grandfather and your Grandpa Shi come back in a few days, I'll ask you, Grandpa Shi, to bring your Aunt Qing back."

"Mom, will Aunt Qing live with us when she comes back? Can I ask her to teach me how to write and draw?"

Chu Yuanjin took a bite of the egg and said with a smile: "Your Aunt Qing's family has a house in Yanjing City, and you have been there."

"I've been there? Why didn't I know?"

"Because you were still in your mother's womb at that time."

"Ah!" the little girl exclaimed, "it turns out that I have met Aunt Qing so early! That's such a pity. Although we have known each other before, we have never met her."...

Looking at his daughter's serious face, Chu Yuanjin could hardly stop laughing:

"What's the pity? Don't you still want to crawl out of your mother's belly and salute her?"

The two chatted and laughed, and the winter morning fog gradually dispersed. Although the alley outside was considered quiet, there were some sounds of pedestrians coming and going.

The courtyard of the Chu family is shallow, and the main hall is now the mourning hall. A side room at the back is where the mother and daughter live. A table is set up near the window for Su'er to practice calligraphy.

There were no ornaments on the table, but there was a painting hanging on the wall on one side, which showed colorful azaleas.

Because there were not many people coming and going at home, although Chu Yuanjin did not keep the servants sent by Mi Xinlan, he still

She hired an aunt who was quite skilled at cooking, and could help her look after the inside and outside of the courtyard.

When she heard the noise, Chu Yuanjin thought it was her aunt who had arrived early, or someone who came to pay her respects to her mother. As she walked over to open the door, she suddenly heard a noise and something hit the door.

Then, another loud shout came from outside the door:

"I looked at you, here is a pair of mice, an old man and a young man, but they turned out to be a pair of flies. In the past, when the Chu family encountered trouble, the young one abandoned his wife and daughter, and the old one betrayed his trust. Since they are flies, they

If you fly farther, why do you come back in a circle when you see someone else's family getting prosperous?"

The voice was somewhat familiar, but the tone of speaking was very unfamiliar.

Chu Yuanjin frowned, turned around and saw that Su Er had followed. She quickly hugged her daughter and whispered:

"Su'er, go inside and don't come out."

At this time, a man's voice sounded outside the door:

"Then Mrs. Chu is my wife, and she also takes my daughter with her. What's wrong with me coming to get my wife and children back?"

Hearing this voice, Chu Yuanjin stood stunned on the spot.

She couldn't be more familiar with this person, Fu Chengyuan, her former husband and Su'er's biological father.

Across the door, the woman who spoke before spoke again:

"Yours? What is yours? Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust, loyalty, filial piety, chastity, forgiveness, courage, are there any words that you can relate to? Huh? Give it back to you? Bastard, shamelessness is yours, unkindness is yours,

You have no brains and no credibility...you actually have the nerve to come here? Tunan, Tong Wu, catch them. First, slap them on the ears of these old bastards and little kings. I want to see what they are like.

Can you spit out the ivory!"

This woman is naturally Zhao Surui who bears Shen Shiqing's shell.

Early in the morning, he was very excited to "escape", but in the end he failed to do it. It was not because he, the wise and powerful Emperor Zhaode, did not have the ability to escape from a mere patrol of the city. It was just that Achi was staring at him.

Come on, if he told Ah Chi that he wanted to escape from prison, Ah Chi would probably be scared to death. If he didn't tell him, he would really run away... Not to mention whether he could escape, just that he would escape from under Ah Chi's nose.

Without the shadow, he was really afraid that this girl could find a rope and hang herself directly.

After such entanglement, it was time to go out. Zhao Surui simply said that he was going to worship the Chu family. The entire Procuratorate Yamen had almost become his territory, and no one dared to stop him? There were just a bunch of people behind him.

Just people.

As before, even though Zhao Su Rui wore plain clothes and pretended to go to worship, he did not forget to take a stroll on the street to buy some things he liked. This time, he had a reason.

Mr. Yao has a granddaughter, who can be regarded as the younger generation of Shen Sanfei. It’s not wrong for him to buy some things for the children, right?….

It's just that he buys two portions of some things, one to coax the children and the other to coax himself.

If Tunan hadn't reminded her that the Chu family was observing mourning and eating vegetarian food, Zhao Surui would have even wanted to book a table of good noodles in a restaurant and send it to the Chu family.

Born in the royal family and having been the king of a country for many years, Zhao Surui's temperament of loving others at the knees and falling into the abyss of evil can be said to have never been restrained. No matter how many girls tried to persuade him, he still felt that he should worship Yao Yao.

Not only were the things he brought with him not many, but they were too few, not worthy of his status as an emperor.

Who was the person he came to pay homage to in person last time?

It seems he is still his father.

The late emperor of the Yong Dynasty, he was buried with ninety-nine carts of valuables. Except for his mother and courtiers, he gave his father almost everything he loved during his lifetime.

Compared with those, these silks, jewels, gold and silver, pots and pans, clay figurines, flower baskets, and straw rabbits...are really not even a drop in the bucket.

Half the morning passed before Zhao Surui arrived at the door of Chu's house with his things. Unexpectedly, while he was unloading the truck, someone came to quarrel with his people. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he was from this family.

The owner's house.

Not to mention the fans from Xichang who were following Zhao Surui, the Tong brothers who Zhao Surui brought with him were not stupid. Although the two men were wearing Lingluo and were accompanied by long attendants, their shoes

Dirty waist too

Without gold and jade accessories, you can tell that this is a poor family, and the words are very rude.

After going back and forth, a quarrel broke out between the two parties.

Zhao Surui was just sitting in the car listening at first, but suddenly he heard the older man say that he was Chu Jiyuan's in-laws, and he immediately understood who these two people were.

Chu Jiyuan had a son and a daughter. When he was demoted, his son was not yet in his prime years. He accompanied him to Yunnan and Guizhou. Even if he married a wife in Yunnan and Guizhou, the in-laws would not be able to come to Yanjing now. Chu Jiyuan's daughter had already

We got married ten years ago. The person we married was an old friend of Chu Jiyuan, Fu Chengyuan, the son of Fu Shuo, the original director of the Imperial College. Although Chu Jiyuan had a bad temper and a tough temper, he was good at work and his ability to manage finances was unparalleled.

His official fortune was also good. When his daughter got married, he was already a minister of household affairs of the third rank. Marrying his daughter to the son of a sixth-rank minister was indeed a lowly marriage.

But who would have thought that Zhang Wan would fall down just a few years after Chu Yuanjin got married. Jin Yiwei searched Zhang Wan's home and found a bunch of letters written by Fu Shuo, the director of the Imperial College, to flatter Zhang Wan. Although he could not be considered an accomplice,

Fu Shuo also lost his official position because of this, and even Fu Chengyuan's successor was also kicked off.

Zhao Surui said that hypocrites like this who usually keep their mouth shut but secretly engage in some dog-dog and fly-camp activities should leave early. But Chu Jiyuan is a fool and refuses to let his daughter leave the Fu family. As a result, after a few

In the year, it was Chu Jiyuan's turn to be unlucky, and they drove his daughter back without hesitation.

Zhao Surui had inquired about these things with the maids yesterday. He did not expect that he would meet the villain himself the next day.

"What nonsense are you talking to them about? There are only two sisters from the Chu family, mother and daughter, in this house. One of them has no husband and the other has no father. The bad people who come to the house should be dealt with quickly."

As he spoke, he got out of the car.
