Chen Yunzhong looked at the chubby golden insects on the plate, swallowed his saliva, and then looked up at the girl.

"You let me eat this?"

The girl took a bug and stuffed it into Chen Yunzhong's mouth. The moment Chen Yunzhong opened his mouth, he felt a strange smell.

The girl looked at Chen Yunzhong with wide eyes, and Chen Yunzhong chewed the food in his mouth with difficulty.

Chen Yunzhong's expression was very indescribable. The girl smiled and handed the remaining bugs to Chen Yunzhong.

"There's nothing delicious in the village. We used to eat this when we were kids."

The girl spoke extremely sincerely, and her expression as she looked at the plate of worms was even a bit salivating.

Chen Yunzhong hurriedly pushed the plate of worms to the girl's side and said, "If you want to eat, I'll give them all to you."

The girl carefully put away the bugs, and then looked at Chen Yunzhong with a smile.

"Thank you big brother."

After the girl finished speaking, she left here. Even a heartless person like Chen Yunzhong couldn't help but sigh, the people in this place are really poor.

If my mother came here, she would probably have a hard life.

Shu Yan was enjoying a fine banquet at Chen's Mansion in Taiyuan City. After she was sent back to Chen's Mansion by the old housekeeper, Chen Yunli didn't know why he was so crazy, but he actually served Shu Yan a very delicious meal.

He seemed to know that Shu Yan had eaten too much soup and little water before he escaped from poverty, and that if he wanted to live a good life, he would have plenty of food and fish every day.

The table is filled with delicacies from all over the world.

Shu Yan raised his head and glanced at this guy, suddenly feeling a little scared.

"You kid, are you trying to poison me?"

This kid did find someone to kill his old mother. Shu Yan had no doubt that he would do such a terrible thing.

Chen Yunli said with a smile: "What my mother told me, how can I do it now that I am under my father's nose?"

Shu Yan was about to pick up the chopsticks, but now she put them down and stared at Chen Yunli.

"You brat, are you really planning to kill me?"

Chen Yunli said viciously: "You are not my mother at all, you are just an evil ghost occupying my mother's body."

Shu Yan couldn't help frowning.

"Then why are you inviting me to dinner? Are you making yourself unhappy?"

Chen Yunli snorted coldly and said, "I just want to ask my mother for permission to marry my concubine."

Shu Yan was stunned. She subconsciously thought that some girl couldn't think of it and wanted to be with him. She really wasn't afraid of being beaten to death.

Xu Shi saw the hesitation on Shu Yan's face.

"If mother doesn't agree, I will have no choice but to kill Sun. My eldest brother already has an heir, but I have no children. I'm afraid that when my father becomes a stable king in the future, I won't even be able to earn a vassal title."

Chen Yunli's words made Shu Yan a little surprised.

It's really strange that this kid is so crazy and can still think of these truths.

"How could you possibly think of such a thing in your mind? Who told you?"

Chen Yunli sneered.

"Mom asked so many questions about what to do. Are you unwilling?"

Shu Yan sneered.

"You should go back first, I have to think about it." Chen Yunli tossed his sleeves and left, leaving Shu Yan alone facing the delicacies on the table. Shu Yan was about to put down his chopsticks to eat when Cheng San came in from outside, covered in sweat. .

This kid went wandering off somewhere, and his whole body smelled bad. Shu Yan couldn't help but pinch his nose.

"You just ran out of the pigsty? Does it stink like hell?"

Cheng San didn't answer Shu Yan's words at all. Instead, he started eating the big elbow with chopsticks.

"I used to dislike eating big knuckles the most, but since I escaped from the famine, I feel that these big knuckles are really delicious."

Shu Yan rolled her eyes helplessly. Although she didn't like big elbows that much, she liked braised pork very much. She stayed in the Chen Mansion for half a month and gained several pounds.

But now that she has passed the age where she has to pay attention to her figure, she naturally eats whatever she wants. The two of them chatted and ate all the delicacies on the table.

After finishing the meal, Shu Yan lay on the chaise longue and touched his belly, looking at Cheng San who was taking off his shoes and picking his feet.

"Old man Chen is actually willing to let you come to see me?"

Cheng San said with a smile: "I guess my godfather is bound to win. Now that the army has been assembled, we will have enough food and grass after the autumn harvest so that he can fight with Xiliang."

Shu Yan touched her chin and said, "Old man Chen really wants to fight Xiliang?"

Now that the military power of the imperial court can only fight on a single line, Jiangnan and Pingqiu must be protected.

This was a strategic issue. Although Shu Yan had read a few bad books, he was still a novice. Naturally, he didn't quite understand what Chen Shengzhi was planning to do.

Cheng San clasped his foot, put it under his nose and smelled it without feeling disgusted at all. Shu Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I don't think so. If I were Old Man Chen, I would cooperate with Xiliang to fight against the Han army. After all, the Han army now occupies the Central Plains of the capital, which is the face of the imperial court."

Shu Yan said: "Pingqiu is a strategic location. Old Man Chen has more advanced forging technology than other armies. I think he wants to directly convert all the armies into firearms, so Pingqiu is more important."

Cheng San shook his head.

No one knows what old man Chen is thinking. Anyway, now Shu Yan and the others have decided to cooperate with Qiu Shijie, and they are just waiting for an opportunity to leave Taiyuan with Yu'an.

Shu Yan brought Yu An to Taiyuan just to get rid of this righteous reputation, turn the world's attention to Chen Shengzhi, and let the old man Chen be the protagonist.

The two of them were full of wine and food, and inevitably thought a little more. Cheng San suddenly asked a question, which surprised Shu Yan.

"Godmother, do you think Chen Shengzhi will kill you on that day?"

Shu Yan answered without thinking.

"This old man will definitely do it. If he kills me once, he will naturally kill me a second time."

If Old Man Chen could really be merciful, the original owner might not be able to follow this path.

Cheng San smiled and then whispered a few words into Shu Yan's ear. Shu Yan frowned and looked a little strange. She looked at Cheng San.

"You kid..."

Cheng San made a booing gesture, then stood up and said to Shu Yan: "My godfather only allows my son to have one meal, and he has to leave first."

After Cheng San left, Shu Yan was the only one left in the huge courtyard.

It started to rain outside, and it was still raining heavily. Thinking that it was raining season in the northwest, raining at this time was not good for the crops. Shu Yan couldn't help but feel worried.

She walked to the gate, looked at the people coming and going in the garden, and suddenly asked in confusion.

"What are all of you doing here?"

One of the leaders was the grandma in charge of Chen Mansion, whom Shu Yan recognized. The grandma in charge smiled and said, "The master has ordered me to select a caring maid for my wife." (End of Chapter)
