The family entered the main hall and invited the old lady to the old lady. Fu always looked cold and grim to his wife, grandson and granddaughter. He only smiled at his own son and asked softly.

"Is Wen'er working hard in the yamen today?"

Wu Hongwen responded to the truth,

"There are no new cases these days, only news came from Haining that it was the guards who patrol the sea that seemed to have traces of Japanese pirates..."

"Japanese pirates!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Mrs. Fu chanted Amitabha Buddha after hearing this.

"How come the Japanese pirates who have been killed these days are coming again?"

Speaking of this, Wu Hongwen also frowned, but he still wanted to comfort the old path at home.

"It's just that the garrison discovered that Japanese pirates were moving near the sea, but they might not necessarily land. Even if they landed, there was a garrison army. And it was still far from Hangzhou, so there was no need to worry too much!"

Mrs. Fu sighed repeatedly when she heard this.

"I hope so!"

Although Xiao Cheng was also a woman in the back house, she knew more about things than her mother-in-law. When she heard what her husband said, she was half-believing and half-doubted. She remembered that after the Dragon Boat Festival the previous year, Japanese pirates landed on the shore. The Daqing Guard army was unstoppable and allowed people to go ashore to burn, kill and rob. Five villages were slaughtered along the way. Only then were the village protection group spontaneously organized by local gentry and returned to the sea.

If we rely on the guards to kill the Japanese pirates, we are afraid that the Hangzhou city will be looted!

Seeing that his wife looked at him with a worried look on her face, Wu Hongwen shook her eyes and turned to Fu Shi and said,

"Mother, my son is a little hungry. Are the meal ready?"

It was a big deal for his son to be hungry. When Fu heard this, he hurriedly put the affairs of the Japanese pirates aside and nodded,

"It's ready!"

Here, the mothers said,

"Prepare the meal!"

The women brought the dishes prepared early to the table, and the family sat down with their elders. However, Wu Xinan stood behind the old lady. Wu Hongwen asked,

"Why don't An'an sit?"

Wu Xinan grinned and said,

"Father, my daughter hasn't returned home for a long time. Now that she's back, she naturally has to serve her grandmother more. Her daughter has to serve her grandmother for her meal!"

Wu Hongwen said with a smile,

"It's good that you have this intention..."

As he said that, he waved to her,

"Come and sit here!"

Seeing this, Fu's eyes swept away Xiao Cheng's, Xiao Cheng's knowledge of the matter was connected,

"Master, even if An An has such filial piety, he cannot ignore the child's wishes. Let her get closer to her grandmother!"

Fu also responded,

"I didn't tell you this morning for my mother. My elder sister will serve her mother-in-law when she gets married in the future. Learning more rules at her parents' home will only have the benefits but no harm!"

Wu Hongwen remembered that he had indeed discussed this matter with his mother this morning, and he nodded and agreed. After thinking about it, he responded.

"What my mother said!"

Wu Xin'an's mouth twitched but didn't say anything anymore. This meal was probably because Wu Hongwen was there. Fu and Xiao Cheng did not teach others how to speak with guns and sticks as they did at noon. Wu Xin'an's meal was already big. At this time, he was so hungry that he was rumbling. At this time, he stood there, smelling the smell of the food in the room, and the crowd was chatting and laughing, but he could only stand behind and swallow his saliva. His heart was hungry, his face was still silent, but he was still complaining.

"This old woman and her stepmother's method of slandering people is really sinister. She is kind and friendly in front of her, and secretly uses secret tricks behind her back, so she can't even sneeze. It's really the most toxic woman's heart!"

I wanted to reveal the true faces of the two in front of Wu Hongwen, but I thought to myself,

"One is his biological mother, and the other is his own wife. Wu Hongwen and Wang Butcher are mostly all along the way. They are both flirting with the new and tired of the old and lustful. Even if I make a fuss, he will just get angry and lose his temper for a while. When he goes to the yamen in the future, he will not be able to resist these two people's tricks. What's the use of fussing!"

Thinking of this place, I endured it again and again,

"I'll just live today, and see what they'll do!"

So I finally served the supper with my anger and laughed. Because Wu Hongwen was there, she never let her go hungry again. When she was on the table, there were only leftovers on the table. Seeing this, Wu Hongwen ordered the mother,

"Cook two more dishes!"

The old lady had already got the order, and she said with a look of disgrace when she heard this.

"When I say to the master, the old lady's rules, the daily dishes are regular, and today's items are already served. If you make them again, you will only use them once again!"

Wu Hongwen was unhappy when he heard this. However, this was the rule that his mother had set over the years. He couldn't slap her in the face in front of everyone, but he had already spoken and made him feel a little shameless in front of everyone. Seeing her husband's expression awkwardness, Xiao Cheng hurriedly rescued the situation.

"My mother-in-law has always been thrifty in the family. This rule has been established early in the morning, and it is not just a problem for peace. What if you use it today?"

Wu Xinan naturally knew that they were trying to destroy themselves in different ways, and said in his heart,

"Stop, it's time to go, so what if I can tolerate them for a day!"

So he nodded with a fake smile,

"What my mother said is that there is no need to work on the stove, just eat some!"

Seeing this, Guan's mother hurried over to serve her with her meal. When she went over and saw the rice in the steamer, she only had a small bowl of rice left, and she couldn't help but curse in her heart.

"I know that our little lady has a lot of appetite, but how can she eat just this little bit? This is too bullying!"

I felt sorry for me but didn't dare to say much. I held the food in my hands to Wu Xinan.

"Miss, please use it!"

Wu Xinan nodded, took the bowl and ate it for two bites, drank another bowl of fish soup and put down the chopsticks. Wu Hongwen was worried that his daughter was not full.

"How can this be enough? Why wouldn't you make a bowl of noodles?"

Wu Xinan sneered in her heart,

"If you want to do it again, you will have another excuse. I am too lazy to watch them play. It's better to go back earlier and find a way to fill your stomach!"

He smiled and shook his head,

"I ate a lot of pastries in the afternoon, but now my stomach is still swelling!"

Wu Hongwen believed it when he heard this and said with a smile.

"That's true, I think I'm not hungry!"

Seeing this, Fu and Xiao Cheng looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"This is a wild girl who is not disciplined. Just using a little trick today, she will realize that she is amazing. If she stays for a while, she will be obedient and honest!"

No matter how proud the two of them were, after dinner, everyone talked about the Japanese pirates who made the coastal people look cool. In order to avoid the fear of the young and old at home, Wu Hongwen picked up the unscathing words. Wu Xin'an was just a country girl and a mountain girl. He had never heard of Japanese pirates in his two lives. Seeing that everyone's faces changed color when they said, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Father, what is the Japanese pirate?"

As soon as she said this, Wu Yuanzhen and Wu Lianzhen sisters beside her looked at each other and smiled, and said in her heart,

"It's said that it's a mountain girl, but it's really a mountain girl. Even Linping is dozens of miles away, but it can't be even heard of by Japanese pirates!"

Wu Xinan didn't care about the two of them, and asked Wu Hongwen again,

"Then are the Japanese pirates very powerful?"

Wu Hongwen did not dislike his daughter's ignorance and was very patient in explaining to her.

"It's not surprising that An An'an had never heard of Japanese pirates in the mountain village for a long time, and let me tell you my father..."

The people of the coastal areas of the Daqing Dynasty knew the most. These Japanese slaves who spoke twelves with a tuft of hair on their heads and a crotch on their heads, and then they dared to go ashore. They were just natives on a large island more than a thousand miles east of Daqing. They had contacts with the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty. They admired our Central Plains culture during the Tang Dynasty and sent envoys to the court several times. By the Song Dynasty, many Japanese scholars also went to the Central Plains to study. Later, in the late years of the previous dynasty, on the other side of the sea, the small island country was divided into many factions and began a long era of chaos.

At that time, Daqing was also first built. The people on the island fought wars every day. After winning, they became king and dominate their country. Those who lost jumped into the sea and came to the Central Plains. These rabbles composed of warriors, merchants and ronin crossed the ocean to the coast of the Central Plains. They said they were doing business openly, but secretly they were smuggling, looting and harassing, and doing all kinds of evil.

At that time, Daqing was building a new government and reshaping the mountains and rivers. Although Taizu was a genius and wise man, he did not have three heads and six arms. He had no time to deal with the Japanese pirates who had dispersed as soon as they fought and gathered as soon as they retreated, he simply issued an imperial edict and issued a ban on the sea, which was not allowed to go out to do business in the sea, nor was foreign merchants allowed to do business with their own people...

Wu Hongwen paused when he said this, raised his cup to drink water. In the lobby, everyone sat upright and listened with politeness. Wu Yuanzhen was older and knew something about it outside. Hearing the words,

"Father, our husband said that the Japanese pirates are as wild as wolves and as poisonous as snakes, so they should be forbidden from the sea and not allowed to land in order to ensure our safety along the coast!"

Wu Xinan thought about it after hearing this and shook her head. Her actions made Wu Lianzhen, who was beside her, and said in her heart,

"Swish! You don't even know what the Japanese pirates are. My sister talks, do you understand it or not. You can just understand it here!"

The corner of his mouth was turned to Wu Xianwen, and asked immediately,

"What do you mean by the third sister?"

Wu Hongwen has always been strict with his son, but is very tolerant of his daughter. His third daughter has been smart since childhood and has worked hard to study. Although he is not as good as his childhood and can never forget his eyes when he is young, he is already very outstanding in his daughter's family at such an age!

So when he saw that his third daughter looked strange, he asked. Wu Lianzhen was asked by his father, and he was not in a hurry to think about it.

"Father, my second sister said that my daughter felt very good. Those Japanese pirates robbed families and killed innocent people, but were not my race but barbarians. So the court should have sent a navy to block them on the sea surface and not let them get ashore to harm the people!"

Wu Hongwen smiled slightly after hearing this, and thought about asking his eldest daughter.
