After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 105 Big Uncle Is Here (Third Watch)

The one who can be called the son by Calamus must be Chen Xinglou.

Chen Xingyan was overjoyed, he casually put on his shoes and went out, followed by Lu Daxiong, but he had an extra cotton cloak in his hand.

After a few steps, he caught up with his wife, and Lu Daxiong put the cloak on her without hesitation.

"elder brother!"

"Well, you look good, it seems that you are living a comfortable life."

Chen Xingyan smiled shyly, then hurriedly welcomed him into the room.

Originally wanted to welcome him to the main room to talk, but Chen Xingyan said: "Brother is not an outsider, so let's go to the fire room to warm up for a while, my ears turned red from the cold just watching."

Lu Daxiong hesitated for a moment, but followed his wife's instructions and invited him to the wing.

As soon as Chen Xinglou entered the room, he felt the heat blowing towards his face, and immediately said happily: "Xingxing, this room is so warm!"

"Is it? Brother, come and sit down."

Chen Xinglou saluted first, and after greeting the two elders, he followed their example, took off his shoes, and got on the low couch.

"This is somewhat similar to Kang!"

Chen Xingyan smiled and said: "Brother, this couch is made of wood, the support at the bottom is twice as much as that of ordinary couch, and the wooden boards used are also thicker, so there is no problem with a few more people. The kang you just mentioned It's not the same as this, sitting here is warm because there is a wall of fire behind us."

Chen Xinglou also noticed that there was a small stove not far away. The stove was quite thoughtful in repairing the ground. It looked like an ear grew on each side, and it was more than a foot long, just enough to place things.

"Brother, it's a good time to come. Our sweet potatoes are probably coming out of the oven soon. The sweet potatoes in the field this year are so sweet. You are lucky."

Wang's face on the side was embarrassing, and he secretly thought that he was a master of Juren, what good food hadn't he eaten?How many sweet potatoes can you spare?
"I received a letter from Brother He before. He said that his uncle has dealt with you a lot, and he is full of praise for you. I heard that you are still concocting medicinal materials?"

Chen Xingyan was not flustered, and said with a smile: "My brother used to study outside and didn't go home often. He only knew that I was a good female celebrity, but he didn't know that I could cook medicinal materials, right?"

Chen Xinglou smiled: "I really don't know."

"Brother, living in a big mansion, it takes a lot of thoughtfulness. I am a woman, and I can't get out of the second school easily. Since my mother was ill, I have been sending people around to find books on medicine for me. Someone tampered with my mother's medicine."

Chen Xinglou's smile gradually disappeared, and there was some doubt in his eyes: "The medicine?"

Chen Xingyan shook his head, "The medicine is not poisonous, but it's just warming and tonic herbs. If my mother uses it, it's not bad. It's right for the disease, and it's not right for the disease. I'm just a daughter. I found something tricky in it, but who would believe it? Besides, even if I found my father and told me about it, the doctor can still say that my mother is weak and can't take too much medicine."

After all, she was still a soft-spoken person.

As soon as the siblings met, this topic became a bit unpleasant.

After looking around, Lu Xiaoniu said loudly: "Brother Chen San, when did you set off from the capital? Why didn't you come to us until the New Year's Eve? I'm afraid it was deserted along the way? Did you encounter anything? trouble?"

Let alone New Year's Eve, even after 23, there are fewer pedestrians on the road outside.

Lu Xiaoniu's question made some sense, the fewer people on the official road, the more unsafe the road will be.

"Oh, it's unlucky to say that I set off early. Who would have thought that Dongping Mansion of yours could have such a heavy snowfall? Entered Gaoyang County. The road behind is not so difficult."

Chen Xingyan looked proud: "That is, it is all thanks to my husband, but he led people to clear the snow for several days."

Chen Xinglou looked at his brother-in-law who had been silent all this time: "My sister said in the letter that you have been the inspector of Qingshui Town, since you have done this, you must do it well, so as not to chill the hearts of the people in the town .”

"Yes, third brother."

Chen Xinglou nodded. Although this brother-in-law doesn't like to talk, he is willing to do practical things.

Just because he was willing to lead people to clear the snow so far away, he knew that he had the people in this town in his heart.

"By the way, Ah Zhong, go and unload all the things we brought."

"Yes, son."

Lu Daxiong heard the sound and went out to help.

On this day, because of Chen Xinglou's arrival, the Lu family was even more lively.

When Lu Xinglou's carriage entered the village, many people still saw it. Some speculated that it was from the county, and some speculated that they came to the Lu family to discuss the supply of goods next year, but no one would think that Chen Xinglou would Came to Lujia Village on this day.

The New Year's Eve dinner is well prepared.

According to the custom in the north, in addition to dumplings, there is also a variety of chicken, duck and fish.

The most important thing is that the whole family sits and eats together, and the atmosphere is very lively and joyful.

Chen Xinglou has never experienced this kind of simple hospitality of a peasant family. Now seeing that his sister is living a prosperous life, has no shortage of silver on hand, and is able to make a living on her own, Chen Xinglou can finally feel relieved.

Earlier, Chen Xinglou had written to the Chen family about Lu Daxiong becoming Cong Jiupin's inspector. It is estimated that at this moment, his father had only barely received the news.

A low-level official, although his official position is low, but at least he is a person with serious errands, and his monthly income is also stable. More importantly, Lu Daxiong is still young and has a military history. Guaranteed that he will not be promoted in the future?
Besides, in this kind of small place, this kind of small official seems to be of low rank, but in fact he is a proper emperor of the land. In Qingshui Town, Lu Daxiong is a god!
Chen Xinglou was delayed for a few days on the road, so he arrived in Gaoyang County today, and immediately went straight to Lujia Village without stopping, and did not look for a house in the county or town.

And Lu Laohan immediately decided to let them live here.

"They're all relatives. How can I ask you to stay in the hotel when you're here? Xiao Niu, take this little brother to clean up the guest room. Second loyal daughter-in-law, you can also help me to see what is missing. Give me everything." Fill."

It's New Year's Eve, even if Chen Xinglou went to the town again, he still couldn't find a store that was still open.

Fortunately, Chen Xinglou brought a lot of New Year gifts this time, including some calligraphy and paintings. Knowing that Lu Xiaoniu is a good reader, he asked a few questions and generously gave them to him .

The things Chen Xinglou brought the most were naturally for his own sister.

Not to mention jewelry and clothes, there is also the most popular rouge and gouache in the capital, which is even more advanced than the one sent by the wealthy businessman in Fucheng.

"Brother, this thing must be very expensive, right? Is the silver taels given to you by the family enough every year? You must not cut your own expenses just because of me, nothing compares to your education!"
