Chapter 6

The remaining fish soup was not wasted, including the fish head meat, which fell into Chen Jingzong's stomach.

Just made her cry, Chen Jingzong ate a little awkwardly, scooped slowly with her small spoon, instead of directly holding the bowl and pouring it into his mouth like before.

Hua Yang sat opposite and continued to write letters home.

She didn't hide it, so Chen Jingzong watched her writing openly. Seeing that the first page of her was written on how her family took good care of her on the road, the lines were full of satisfaction with them, and the spoon in Chen Jingzong's hand bumped.To the corner of his mouth, some soup was spilled down, he dodged in a hurry, luckily it didn't fall on the lapel of his clothes, but he moved quite a lot, looking clumsy.

Hua Yang squinted at him.

Disgust is still disgusting, but it doesn't have the usual hatred, it's more like resentment.

Chen Jingzong was tickled physically and mentally by this look, but he had promised her not to be lustful, so he had to pretend that his heart was as calm as water.

"This is you, report good news or not bad news?"

Putting down the spoon, Chen Jingzong guessed, only in this way can explain that she was full of resentment on the way, but the narrative she wrote seemed to be changed by a different person.

Hua Yang: "It's just the truth. Except for you, your family really cares about me. As for the poor conditions of the post station and the rush of cars and horses, it is inevitable."

Chen Jingzong: "Why do you want to get rid of me? How can I treat you badly?"

Before Hua Yang turned over the old account, Chao Yun's voice came in: "Princess, son-in-law, the old lady is here!"

The couple looked at each other, Hua Yang got up and cleared the desk, while Chen Jingzong quickly hid the soup cup and other things... Clean the room.

Hua Yang: ...

She will probably never use the cutlery again.

When Chen Jingzong came out, she glared at him before going out.

Mrs. Sun was following Zhen'er into the yard, followed by Lamei, the maid beside her.

Sun is the first wife of Chen Tingjian, the elder of the pavilion.

She was born in the city of Ling Zhou, her father was a lecturer in a government school with profound knowledge. Chen Tingjian often visited Mr. Sun before he met Mrs. Sun and asked to marry him.

When her mother-in-law passed away, Sun's daughter-in-law wore a white cloth dress with a sandalwood hairpin on her head, and she was dressed like an ordinary woman in the town, except that she was beautiful when she was young, and she followed Chen Tingjian as the official's wife all the time., pampered, with a natural demeanor, she looks like a rich wife at first glance.

There is only a corridor between Si Yitang and the main house. Yesterday evening, Hua Yang was scared by a snake and screamed. Both Chen Tingjian and Mrs. Sun heard it. At that time, Mrs. Sun rushed over to comfort her.I am very worried that Jiao Didi's princess daughter-in-law will get sick from fright.

After inquiring with Zhen'er, Mrs. Sun saw Hua Yang coming out of the upper room, followed by her fourth son.

His eyes swept across the faces of the young couple, and Sun narrowed his eyes slightly.

It doesn't feel right!

The princess detested the fourth son's rudeness, and the fourth son also despised the princess' arrogance. When they were together, they disliked each other, but now they looked very harmonious!

Could it be that the princess has finally discovered some of the advantages of the fourth child, such as being able to block the fourth child when she is afraid of snakes and insects?

While Mrs. Sun was thinking about it secretly, when Hua Yang returned from rebirth and saw her mother-in-law again, her heart felt sore.

Almost everyone in the entire Chen family respected her, but her mother-in-law treated her best.

The father-in-law and the two husbands and brothers are both men. Even if they want to take care of her, they rarely meet and talk to her alone. The two sister-in-laws are more afraid of her, or they don't want to make people feel that they are deliberately flattering, so they rarely take the initiative to get close to her.Only the mother-in-law often came to visit her, and she was caring and considerate to her.

Maybe it's also related to being afraid of her, but Hua Yang can tell the difference between sincerity and face-saving, and her mother-in-law really likes her.

Such a good mother-in-law, but in her previous life, she suffered from the triple blow of her father-in-law's death, the whole family's imprisonment, and the unjust death of her elder brother.

"Mom, you're here."

Hua Yang walked a few steps quickly, and supported her mother-in-law's left arm.

Sun was stunned!

After the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law got married, they all followed her sons to call her mother. Only the princess daughter-in-law had a noble status and always called her mother politely.

The mother is also very good. She is an ordinary girl from a place, and she is lucky to marry a princess as her daughter-in-law. The family's ancestral grave is already smoking!

Now when she heard the princess's daughter-in-law say "mother", Sun suddenly felt flattered!

Hua Yang saw her mother-in-law's surprise, but couldn't explain it.

In her previous life, she hadn't really integrated into this family. This time it was different. She wanted to live a good life with Chen Jingzong, so some changes had to be made.

Chen Jingzong glanced at her.

Hua Yang didn't realize it, and devoted himself to entertaining her mother-in-law.

When Sun came back to her senses, she first asked with concern: "After spraying those medicines last night, did you see any bugs again?"

Hua Yang smiled and shook his head.

Sun looked at the mountains to the north, and said helplessly: "This side is closer to the mountains, and there are more snakes and insects. We have already gotten used to it. Poor princess, golden branches and jade leaves. This is the first time I encounter such a thing, I must be terrified."

Hua Yang did not deny it.

In her previous life, she was indeed tortured by the occasional bugs. When she was frightened, she lost her temper at Chen Jingzong, which provoked Chen Jingzong to spread medicine everywhere, so the bugs became less and less.

Obviously timid, how could he not be afraid when he misunderstood Chen Jingzong as a ghost last night.

Hua Yang secretly glanced at Chen Jingzong.

Chen Jingzong thought she was complaining that he didn't do a good job of defense, so he didn't think much about it. He can guard against thieves, a small snake as thick as chopsticks, how can he in the east chamber guard against it?

Having said that, he still has to be grateful to the little snake, otherwise he would have to sleep in the wing room alone, how could he enjoy himself last night.

The three entered the hall.

Sun suddenly sniffed.

Hua Yang is a thief with a guilty conscience, stealing is stealing, she doesn't want her mother-in-law to find out.

Chen Jingzong explained: "Because of that snake, I checked and tossed around until the middle of the night before going to bed, and I got up late in the morning before eating."

Mrs. Sun understood and asked her daughter-in-law: "How is the princess's appetite this morning?"

Hua Yang: "Xu Shi has finally adapted to the climate here, and his appetite has improved a lot. He ate a bowl of noodles."

Sun was very happy, looked at her small face and said: "That's good, that's good, Princess Qing has lost a lot recently, but she has to get back soon."

Hua Yang nodded, thinking that if he could follow Chen Jingzong every day, his body would recover as usual.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Sun was about to leave.

She knew that she came from a humble background, and it was difficult to get along with the princess's daughter-in-law, and everyone felt uncomfortable after staying for a long time.

Hua Yang sent her out of Siyi Hall together with Chen Jingzong.

When walking back, Chen Jingzong asked her: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Hua Yang: "I can call it whatever I like, if you have anything to ask."

Chen Jingzong stepped in front of her and looked down at her: "Changing your mouth is one of them, you were not quite right last night, why did you cry when you fell asleep?"

Hua Yang lied: "I had a nightmare."

Chen Jingzong: "But at that time you said you were not dreaming, and you threw yourself into my arms for the first time."

Hua Yang blushed slightly, glared at him and said, "Don't you like it?"

Chen Jingzong's expression was complicated: "If you like it, you like it, but you have finally broken the precept."

The implication is that if Hua Yang hadn't taken the initiative to seduce him, he would have continued to mourn obediently.

Hua Yang believed that he was to blame, so he pushed the person away, hurried back to the house, and closed the door, lest he follow in and disturb her writing home letters.

Chen Jingzong pushed the door and did not move. He stood for a while and went to the yard.

In the future, if he wants to go into the mountains frequently, he will have to make some handy bows and arrows and fish bags.

In the room, Hua Yang wrote a letter for a while, when he suddenly heard the sound of wood rubbing outside, he came to the window curiously, and saw Chen Jingzong sitting on a small bench under the eaves of the East Wing, holding a root in one hand.The long wrist is thick wood, holding a machete in one hand, sharpening the tip with concentration.

Both sleeves were rolled up above the elbows, exposing a pair of slender and strong forearms.

He lowered his head, with a handsome and sharp side face, much better looking than the guards in the aunt's house.

This is her son-in-law. The man she fell in love with at the beginning, even if she only fell in love with his face, was chosen by herself.

So what's the vulgarity, she doesn't want him to die, and no one wants to take his life this time.

In front of Siyi Hall is Fucui Hall, where Chen Jingzong's third elder brother's family lived.

Chen Xiaozong is a Tanhualang, full of talent and literary talent, now he is going back to his hometown for mourning, and it is inconvenient to go out, so he can only obey his father's order and teach his nephew, niece and two sons to study in his own school.

Chen Xiaozong didn't like to hang around the children. When his father gave orders, he subconsciously pushed his elder brother out: "Father, elder brother is better educated than me, and his temper is also the most like yours among our brothers. He is serious and steady.If you can suppress Erlang and the others, why don't you let your elder brother teach?"

Chen Tingjian was expressionless: "You are asked to teach to hone your temper. Your eldest brother is already stable enough, so he is not needed."

Chen Xiaozong: ...

After teaching for a whole morning in the school of the main residence, Chen Xiaozong only felt exhausted.

Watching his niece Da Lang return to Guanhe Hall, in the corridor, Chen Xiaozong continued to take his family Erlang and Sanlang to Fucui Hall.

When entered the yard, saw wife standing under the eaves of the porch, holding her already very pregnant abdomen with one hand, while leaning her neck back, as if she was smelling something.

Chen Xiaozong was surprised: "What are you doing?"

Luo Yuyan asked the maid to take the sons to wash their hands first, and then went to Chen Xiaozong and whispered to him: "I seem to smell the aroma of fried fish, try it."

Chen Xiaozong laughed before trying: "How is it possible, our family can't eat meat, and there are no other people in the back, even if there are people in the street ahead who eat fish, today is the north wind, and the smell will never reach us."

Luo Yuyan curled her lips: "Who said there is no one behind us? The fourth brother and the princess can live there, and they have a small kitchen! Huh, she is a princess, so she can't bear hardships. Maybe mother specially sent fish and meat over there.I don’t care, I’m carrying your family’s seed in my stomach, and I haven’t eaten meat for almost three months. I’m not greedy for children, but Erlang and Sanlang are both smart, so you’re not afraid of starving this fool?”

The princess is miserable, isn't she miserable?She is also the daughter of the Hou family in Capital City. She grew up eating delicious food and drinking spicy food. When will she feel sad for a meal of fish?

Chen Xiaozong: "Impossible, father is the most respectful of rules, and mother also listens to him. In other respects, they take care of the princess, but in this respect they will never, and it is even more impossible to let the steward buy meat food, and give others a slap in the face."

Luo Yuyan: "But I can smell fish!"

Seeing her swearing, Chen Xiaozong took a sniff, but he didn't know if it was true, or if his nose didn't have the spirit of Luo Yuyan, Chen Xiaozong didn't smell anything.

At this time, the maid from the main house brought lunch, white rice with three dishes and one soup, of course, both dishes and soup are vegetarian.

Chen Xiaozong first helped his wife into the main room, and Erlang and Sanlang also came over after washing their hands.

Erlang is five years old and understands that the family will mourn for his great-grandmother. Sanlang is three years old. He doesn't understand the truth. Seeing that his favorite meat is not on the dinner table, his little face is full of disappointment, and he looks at his father with aggrieved eyes.mother.He wanted to go back to Capital City. When he was in Capital City, he ate meat every day. His grandfather's hometown was too poor, and every meal was full of vegetables and porridge.

If Luo Yuyan didn't smell fish, she could bear it, but if she smelled it, she would feel wronged when she thought that her father-in-law favored Si Yitang, and she couldn't eat!

The gloomy clouds at the dinner table, Chen Xiaozong saw it in his eyes, and felt very uncomfortable.

Mainly his wife, the dignified daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, is now pregnant and can only eat these, how can he bear it?

"Eat first, I will think of a way."

Chen Xiaozong said softly.

He didn't get the title of Tanhualang for nothing, he looks like a crown jade, has a personable demeanor, and his soft voice can coax people, which woman can bear it?

Luo Yuyan looked at her husband's handsome face, and decided to bear it a little longer.

She is not unreasonable, everyone obediently wears mourning, she has no objection, but if the father-in-law allows Sifang to have a small stove, then she will also be treated the same!

After the meal, Chen Xiaozong sat in the main room for about two quarters of an hour before going to Si Yitang.

Zhen'er was sitting on a small stool at the gate of the yard, holding a needle and thread in her hand, and a sewing basket by her lap.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the corridor, Zhen'er probed her head, and then saw the third master Tanhualang, wearing a white cloth fir, a crown scarf on his head, and a jade tree facing the wind.

Zhen'er blushed slightly, quickly packed up the things around her, and stood up.

"Third Lord."

"Well, I have something to ask your son-in-law, you go and pass the message."

The courtyards of the three brothers all enter the courtyard once, and it is easy to bump into the female relatives when they enter. He respects his sister-in-law, and he dare not be rude to the princess siblings, so when he wants to see the fourth brother, he always talks in the corridor.

Zhener took the order and ran to tell Chaoyun.

In the upper room, Hua Yang and Chen Jingzong had just finished their meal. A long fishbone and many small thorns were placed on the plate in front of Chen Jingzong.

There was not a single thorn on Hua Yang's side, and her flesh was all picked out by Chen Jingzong before being clamped.

"Princess, the third master has come to look for a son-in-law."

Chaoyun had told Zhen'er not to leak anything, and then came in to report.

Hua Yang looked at Chen Jingzong: "Could it be that you smell something?"

The aroma of roasted fish was stronger than that of stewed fish soup. Although Chaoyue followed Chen Jingzong's example and closed the doors and windows tightly, the aroma still escaped a little.

Chen Jingzong: "It's useless to hear it. As long as you and I don't admit it, they have nothing to say."

He asked Chaoyun to pour tea, took a mouthful of oil, and had to rinse his mouth before meeting the third brother, otherwise the evidence would be too obvious.

Hua Yang watched him busy, thought for a while, and said: "Third brother is not like a glutton, most likely he came for the third sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's really pitiful to eat vegetarian meals."

I heard that many sisters-in-law tend to compare and quarrel, but this matter is absolutely impossible for Hua Yang.

In her previous life, the two sister-in-laws were respectful and respectful in front of her, but Hua Yang was aloof and would rather stay by herself than chat with her sisters-in-law.

The brocade clothes, costumes, jewelry and jewelry she used were all gifts from the imperial court, and there was no need to envy others.

Coupled with the fact that he had witnessed the misery of Chen Xiaozong and others walking in the snow wearing bracelets and shackles, the reborn Hua Yang was more likely to soften his heart.

Chen Jingzong spit out the tea in his mouth, looking at her like looking at a fool.

Hua Yang frowned: "What are you doing?"

Chen Jingzong: "Where are you a princess? You are clearly a fairy descended to earth. She doesn't know the sufferings of the world. She wants to help anyone who is pitiful."

Hua Yang's delicate face turned from white to red, red and then green.

Chen Jingzong spoke for her: "Do you think I'm stingy, just a fish, but I don't even want to share with my brother, sister-in-law?"

Hua Yang didn't think so, but felt that if Sanfang already knew their secret, it would be fine for Chen Jingzong to occasionally send a fish or a chicken, after all, there was a pregnant woman over there.

Chen Jingzong snorted: "I went to catch fish because I saw that you were so skinny and wanted to make up for you. The third brother really loves the third sister-in-law, so he can go by himself. Don't look at him like a literati, heHere, he didn’t come to Beijing until he was seven or eight years old. When he was a child, he ran around all over the mountains. Even if he can’t catch pheasants and rabbits now, he knows where to find fish if he wants to eat fish.”

"He didn't go by himself because he was afraid of being discovered by the old man and ruining his reputation as a gentleman and dutiful son. Instead of dividing the meat from us, the husband and wife can feel at ease, thinking that we broke the rules first, and if one day they are caughtThe old man found out that they were greedy because of the excusable circumstances of pregnancy, so what excuse can you and I make, saying that your dignified princess can't bear it?"

"Don't say you won't reveal your secrets. They have Erlang Sanlang over there. The third brother is smooth. Can the two children fool the old man?"

Hua Yang: ...

Chen Jingzong: "Fortunately, you are a princess. If you are the daughter of an ordinary family, if you have a few more sisters-in-law after marriage, you will be bullied all your life."

After finishing speaking, he flicked the hem of his jersey and walked away.

Hua Yang gritted his teeth.

Chao Yun persuaded in a low voice: "Princess, don't be angry, there is some truth in what the son-in-law said."

Hua Yang understands that she is angry with Chen Jingzong's attitude, if he is reasonable, then he should be reasonable, why does he have to be so sarcastic?

I heard that many sons-in-law are respectful and respectful in front of the princess. Why is Chen Jingzong different? The emperor never said that to her!
