And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 56 Spirituality in Everything

After helping his wife choose the dishes, Chen Wenqing came to the yard to coax Xiuxiu to play.

Chen Yuan took the old hen and fresh mushrooms he bought to Wu Qingping who was helping cook in the kitchen, and casually mentioned the recipe of hen stewed mushrooms.

Then I took out the rice and asked my brother and sister-in-law to cook it.

"Uncle Lang, you still buy rice. You are really willing to buy it. You can get fifteen pennies for a catty of rice."

Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping was a little surprised when she saw that what Chen Yuan bought was rice.

"I just moved into a new house, isn't this a rare luxury?"

Chen Yuan laughed.

"Brother and sister-in-law, don't use corn for a while, just cook rice with rice."

Chen Yuan then said again.

"Okay, I just haven't cooked yet."

Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping said.

When Chen Yuan came out of the kitchen, he happened to see his elder brother Chen Wenqing and Xiuxiu father and daughter squatting in the corner, staring at a mouse hole.

"Erlang, are there any mice in your yard?"

Seeing Chen Yuan coming out of the kitchen, his elder brother Chen Wenqing turned around and asked Chen Yuan.

"Did you just see a mouse?"

Chen Yuan was shocked.

He guessed in his heart, could it be that the white mouse came again?

Just happened to be seen by brother and Xiuxiu.

"Yes, Uncle, a very handsome white mouse."

Xiuxiu also nodded beside her.

"Unfortunately, as soon as it saw us, it went back into the hole."

Xiuxiu looked a little disappointed.

In her opinion, that little white mouse is very cute and beautiful, and she wants to play with it.

But at this moment, it seemed that Chen Yuan's voice was heard.

The white mouse stuck its head out from the mouse hole in the corner again.

Seeing that Chen Yuan was also in the yard, it suddenly felt less frightened. It trotted out of the mouse hole, and it seemed to be holding a piece of silver in its forelegs, and came to Chen Yuan.

After putting the things under Chen Yuan's feet, he raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan expectantly.

"Is this for me again?"

Chen Yuan was taken aback.

The white mouse nodded.

Chen Yuan looked down and found that it turned out to be a small piece of broken silver the size of a fingernail.

Although the weight is not one or two, there are still two or three coins.

You must know that in terms of the value of silver, two or three silver coins are equivalent to two or three hundred big coins.

"Erlang, is this white mouse raised by you? You even took money from the house?"

The elder brother Chen Wenqing and niece Xiuxiu all saw this scene, Chen Wenqing said with a bit of a tongue.

For him who even opened a shop, a few coins is not a small amount.

It was the first time in his life that the mouse took money from the house after seeing such an amazing thing.

"Daddy, I also want a cute and beautiful white mouse that can take money home."

The little girl Xiuxiu looked enviously at the side, Xiuxiu hugged her father's leg and kept begging.

Chen Wenqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while, where could he find a cute and beautiful white mouse for his daughter, who could bring money to his house.

Such a white mouse, let alone a child, an adult like him also wants it, right?

"I didn't raise it. When I was clearing the weeds in the yard, I saw a long worm that had killed its companion and was about to swallow it. It was in a stalemate with the long worm, so I helped it drive away. the worm."

"Who knows that this white mouse seems to be interested in repaying his kindness. Yesterday he sent me a big son, and today he gave me a small piece of silver."

Chen Yuan explained the reason.

"There are such strange things in the world."

Chen Wenqing was extremely amazed.

"It seems that everything in the world has spirituality."

In Chen Wenqing's heart, he only lamented the vast world, full of wonders.

With the previous experience, Chen Yuan accepted the silver from the white mouse again this time.

Seeing that Chen Yuan accepted the things he brought, the white mouse looked very happy, jumping up and down in the yard.

And Xiuxiu, who has a naughty heart, didn't bother his father anymore, asking him to find him a white mouse like the one in front of him.

Instead, in the yard, chasing the white mice to play.

The white mouse saw that Xiuxiu who was chasing him was a human cub, and felt that there was no threat to him.

When Xiuxiu was chasing it, she didn't escape back to the mouse hole, but played hide and seek in the yard with Xiuxiu.

You run away and I chase, you chase me and run away.

All of a sudden, one person and one mouse were having fun in the yard.

Without the entanglement of her daughter, Chen Wenqing suddenly felt relieved.

At this time, he walked to Chen Yuan's side and said solemnly:

"Erlang, among you and my brothers, you are the smartest. I originally planned to sponsor you to study and take the imperial examination for my brother. I thought that if you can get a name in the examination, you will be able to make the Chen family famous."

"I didn't expect you to encounter an accident on the way. You had to meet an expert, worshiped in the Taoist sect, and became a Taoist."

"Since you are dedicated to cultivating the Tao, I will not stop you as a brother, but you have not yet achieved success in cultivation, and you still need to eat five grains. I am afraid that you need some income."

"Brother and your sister-in-law have discussed it in the past few days, and decided to give you a hundred sons every two months for your life. Don't refuse."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said:

"Brother, you just saw that I am not short of money."

Seeing the displeasure on his elder brother Chen Wenqing's face, Chen Yuan continued:

"What's more, I'm an adult. Before I was an adult, it was reasonable for you to support and raise me, but now that I am an adult, I need to support myself."

Chen Wenqing disagreed with Chen Yuan's opinion:

"It's good that you need to support yourself, but you have to know that now that you have become a Taoist, you can't work and earn money. As a brother, you should naturally support you."

The two were at loggerheads over this issue.

When Wu Qingping, brother and sister-in-law, finished cooking and came out of the kitchen with the food, it seemed that the atmosphere in the yard was not right.

She was in the kitchen just now and heard the reason for the dispute between the two. Wu Qingping put the food on the stone table and persuaded:

"You two brothers, why are you arguing over this matter?"

Then Wu Qingping looked at her husband:

"Mr. Lang, since Erlang said that there is no need, then there is no need to support Erlang. When Erlang really encounters difficulties, it will not be too late for us to give money to help Erlang."

Seeing brother and sister-in-law come out to smooth things over, Chen Yuan also smiled and said: "You heard that, brother, you just listen to brother and sister-in-law."

Then Chen Yuan said again: "It's also fortunate that you, brother, married such a knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous wife as brother-in-law. Otherwise, you would take care of my younger brother like this, and there would be troubles in the family."

While talking, Chen Yuan thought of Manager Liang, the innkeeper in Mengliang Town.

He also caused family discord because he took too much care of his younger brother, so he had to live separately from his younger brother.

Hearing Chen Yuan praise his wife, Chen Wenqing said with a smile: "It is because your brother and sister-in-law are virtuous that you married her for your brother."

Chen Wenqing said again: "Since your brother and sister-in-law have said so, then listen to your brother and sister-in-law. If you encounter difficulties, Erlang, it will not be too late for us to help you with money."

Meanwhile, brother-in-law Wu Qingping was already on the stone table, laying out the food: "Come and eat."

When Chen Wenqing was walking towards the stone table, Chen Yuan did not go over, but turned around at the corner, found a fist-sized stone, and walked to the stone table.

Just when brother Wu Qingping and elder brother Chen Wenqing looked puzzled, Chen Yuan said to them: "Let's see, brother and sister-in-law."

While speaking, he raised the stone in his hand, and while chanting the spell, the fingers of the other hand pointed at the stone in his hand.

Then this fist-sized ordinary stone turned into a piece of golden gold under the eyes of the two of them.

Brother-in-law Wu Qingping and elder brother Chen Wenqing were stunned for a moment.

　ps: Wu Qingping's address to Chen Wenqing earlier felt a bit wrong, so the author changed it from Da Lang to Lang Jun.
