Chapter 9

When Su Jin celebrated at home, the Wu family was filled with dark clouds.

Wu Youcai's mother, wife, and children all want to go to Qianhu Mansion to cause trouble. The whole family was alone, but Wu Erye was extremely calm and warned the whole family with a calm face: "No one is allowed to go, otherwise don't blame my family for serving me."

Mrs. Wu cried and scolded him: "Your brother is locked in a cell. I asked you to beg Lord Li, you don't want to go. Now we mothers are not allowed to settle the score with that little girl. Your conscience has been eaten by the dog? That's your dear brother!"

Mr. Wu lowered his eyes, two walnuts rolled in his palm. When my mother cried almost the same, he smiled sarcastically and looked at his mother: "For so many years, has the Magistrate Qi let his brother go fewer times in view of Lord Li's affection? Now he is so brave that he doesn't even take Lord Xiao seriously. Don't say that I have no shame to beg Lord Li, even if I go, Lord Li will not offend Lord Xiao openly and the people in the city for us."

He is deeply trusted by Lord Li. The neighbors and the people are afraid of him and give in to his own family in everything. But in Lord Li's eyes, he is just a good dog. When he is happy, he is brother and brother. The Wu family has really caused a big disaster, so Lord Li will not wipe his butt.

It was either that Mrs. Wu didn’t understand, she just couldn’t swallow this, wiped her tears and said, “Don’t you just let it go? How could your elder brother bear it after three years of labor?”

Mr. Wu said gloomyly: "If you can't stand it, you have to bear it. Just let him teach him a long lesson so that he will continue to act recklessly."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu cried even louder and lay on the kang to cry.

Mr. Wu then walked over and helped me up and said, "Don't worry, the future is long, and one day I will make this sigh for my elder brother."

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Agui can't do heavy work on his left arm, but the bruises on his face disappear, and he becomes a handsome young man.

Without Agui, a capable general, Su Jin worked hard to set up a stall alone, so he borrowed Chuntao's help from Xiao Zhen, and then calculated the wages for Chuntao after noon. Before noon, Su Jin sat cross-legged on the kang, concentrating on sewing new clothes for the family of three during the Chinese New Year. Archer obediently stayed by his mother's side. When his mother was threading needles, he played Jiulian. When his mother was tired, Archer filially helped his mother massage her back.

Feng Shi's clothes were first prepared. He came back in the evening. Su Jin smiled and asked him to put them on.

Su Jin cooks deliciously, and has good needlework. The robe made of blue cloth is fine and compact, which is more exquisite than what is sold in a ready-to-wear shop.

Feng Shi happily changed into it.

Su Jin walked around her husband and saw that it was very suitable for her body, so she asked Feng Shi to take it off first and then go out again on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Feng Shi kept giggling, his lips were raised when he was eating.

Xiao Zhen looked at him in confusion.

Feng Shi touched him to drink. Just as Xiao Zhen was drinking, Feng Shi suddenly realized that Xiao Zhen was wearing the old clothes from last year, and some places were patched. Feng Shi couldn't laugh at all. At night, he hugged his wife and discussed: "You make a robe for the adults too? Otherwise, our family would wear new clothes, and the adults would be too pitiful."

Su Jin pinched him: "Are you stupid? I am a woman who is not close to him, so how can I make clothes for him? Those who don't know think I want to seduce him!"

She was grateful to Xiao Zhen who took them in from the bottom of her heart. She could cook with fire, but she only gave her clothes, which was not in accordance with the rules.

Feng Shi scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "Sir, treat me as a brother and call me your brother and sister. Let's eat and live together. What's the difference between us and relatives?"

Su Jin still disagreed. She could see that Xiao Zhen was very careful to avoid suspicion when he got along with her.

She gave her husband an idea: "In this way, I'll give you money. Go and pull the cloth and ask Aunt Liu to sew a piece for the adults."

Feng Shi was overjoyed and went to buy cloth the next day.

Aunt Liu made her clothes before New Year's Eve and brought them over to Xiao Zhen to try it on.

Xiao Zhen thought it was Aunt Liu's own idea, so he asked Aunt Liu how much money he spent so that he could give Aunt Liu the cloth money.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "My dear, I misunderstood. Feng Shi delivered the cloth directly to me. He said that the adults took care of them too much this year, and he gave you a new piece of clothing, which is a pity."

Xiao Zhen looked at the dark robe she held in her hand and immediately guessed that the cloth was bought by Su Jin, so Feng Shi didn't know how to do it.

If he really wanted to settle the score, Xiao Zhen felt that he had not taken care of the Feng family's three, but instead ate a lot of meat in vain.

However, a man is a real man, Xiao Zhen has no intention of reckoning who has taken advantage of whom. Since the clothes are ready, he will accept it, which will affect his friendship with Feng Shi.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Jin and his family went to greet Xiao Zhen.

As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Even Feng Shi looks a little bit better by his new clothes. Xiao Zhen, who wears his new clothes, looks even taller and more majestic.

"Happy New Year sir, sir." Archer saluted respectfully.

Xiao Zhen nodded and handed the boy a seal of red, which contained copper coins. Archer secretly pinched five, not as much as his mother gave him.

After all, Xiao Zhen is a thousand households. There are many banquets in the first lunar month, and most of them are pushed, but he also has some friends. Therefore, these days, he often goes out early and comes back late, and always comes back with a smell of alcohol. Feng Shi is his follower, so naturally he can't help drinking. When he returned home that night, Feng Shi burped and smiled at Su Jin: "Someone has fallen in love with us!"

Su Jin's eyes lit up and he asked curiously who it was.

Feng Shi was drinking with a flushed face and preached to his wife vividly: "Peng Baihu has a niece named Jinhuaer. It's seventeen years old this year. When eating the mat, Jinhuaer helps to serve the dishes. He will take the adults once and look at him once. His face is red. What isn't it like? Peng Baihu also has that heart and asks him what he thinks about Jinhuaer and can he have a family, guess what he said?"

Su Jin smiled and patted him: "Stop keeping a secret, talk quickly."

Feng Shi narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something, and then laughed: "The adult said that Jin Huaer is pretty good, but he wants to marry a girl who can read and read. Hahaha, Peng Baihu is so happy that he didn't take it seriously. Jin Huaer was eavesdropping behind the curtain, and rushed in with anger, and took the two dishes in front of the adult with a tense face!"

Su Jin didn't expect that the woman from the North would be so fierce, and she almost broke her anger.

The couple laughed for a while, and Feng Shi suddenly hugged Su Jin and said drunk: "Sir, I'm just picking around. What's the use of women reading and reading? It's enough to be able to warm the quilt. Jinhua'er is pretty and has a big butt..."

"Yeah, which eye did you see her butt getting bigger?" Su Jin grabbed her husband's ear and twisted it hard.

Feng Shi screamed in pain and woke up. He quickly swears that he didn't see anyone, and that it was all praised by Peng Baihu.

The couple was noisy, and Archer sat on the kang, grinning and smiling.

It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there was a lantern festival in the city.

Su Jin is a very lively person and must go there. Feng Shiwei's wife is following her, so she naturally follows her. Only Archer still doesn't like to go out.

Feng Shi knew his son's knot, touched his head, and smiled and said to Su Jin: "How about you take Archer and go with Aunt Liu and the others. I will go with the adults to drink. Anyway, I don't like to watch the lanterns." His wife is beautiful, Archer is beautiful, and he is the only one in the family. As long as he doesn't stand with his son, others will not be able to see anything.

After saying that, Feng Shi picked up the curtains and went out.

Su Jin looked at his son.

Archer lowered his head and said nothing.

Su Jin called his son to his side, hugged the boy, and discussed gently: "Arche, after the New Year, you are one year older, you are a big boy. Tell your mother, are you planning to never go out with your father in your life?"

Archer shook his head, his long thick eyelashes always hung.

Su Jin felt sorry for her. She understood her son's worries and timidity. It took too much courage to face rumors calmly, but her son was too young.

"Arche, our family of three goes out on the street, and others laugh at you, you feel uncomfortable, but you don't go out with your father, and he feels uncomfortable. Think about it carefully, is it worth hurting your father's heart for the stranger on the street?"

Archer's head was lower.

Su Jin waited nervously.

After a while, Archer hugged his mother and said he wanted to go together.

The boy's forehead was pressed against her shoulders, and Su Jin reached out to touch his son's face, touching cold tears.

She sighed, pretending not to know that it was tears, and smiled and said, "Mom will accompany you tonight. There will be a lantern festival tomorrow. Let's call your father again."

Let's proceed step by step, she has to slowly unleash her son.

Putting on Archer's warm rabbit-haired hat, Su Jin took his son and went out with Aunt Liu and Chuntao.

The women were watching the lanterns, but Archer's big eyes were silently observing the pedestrians on the street. Then, the boy saw many children about the same age as him, all being held or carried by their father. Archer suddenly missed his father very much. After walking around the lanterns, he went home. After washing his feet, the boy got into his parents' bed.

Su Jin asked him strangely: "Why didn't Archer sleep inside?"

Archer's head was covered in the quilt and said in a muffled voice: "I'll sleep with my dad tonight."

Feng Shi was about to soak his feet, but was stunned when he heard this.

Su Jin first reacted and said deliberately sourly: "Okay, okay, you guys sleep, I'll be the same bed."

I really went to Archer's little bed to lie down.

Feng Shi was not sure about it, but as soon as he entered the quilt, his son got into his arms and pressed against him like a small stove. Feng Shi suddenly felt so as not to be able to do it, and hugged his son and kissed him several times.

"Dad, let's go to see the lights tomorrow night, buy me a rabbit light." The dark wing room was just as Su Jin was about to fall asleep, she heard her son's tender voice.

"Okay, okay, Dad bought you the biggest rabbit lamp!" After a while, Feng Shi responded excitedly.

The father and son were speechless, and Su Jin grabbed the quilt and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.

However, on the second day, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, the King of Liao who was stationed in the northeast border, and the King of Jin who was stationed in Taiyuan suddenly received the imperial decree, ordering the two kings to immediately lead troops to eliminate the remnants of the Northern Liang army on the grassland. The Great Zhou overthrew the Liang court and had just been established for more than 20 years. Now that the country is firmly in place, Emperor Wu of Zhou finally had time to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty who fled to the grassland.

As soon as the imperial edict arrived, the King of Liao immediately dispatched troops.

The order was quickly passed to Zhangcheng, and Xiao Zhen went to Qianhuyuan first, giving Feng Shi only a quarter of an hour to say goodbye to his family.

He was about to fight again, and Su Jin was uneasy and hugged Feng Shi and couldn't bear to let go.

Feng Shi held his wife with one hand and his son with the other, and said confidently: "Don't you know my abilities? Liang Bing dared to come over, and I would kill two of them with one blow, and no one was afraid."

The general likes such soldiers, but Su Jin is afraid of her husband's stupidity, so he stares at him and scolds him: "You are the only one who is powerful, right? Feng Shi, I warn you, when you encounter danger, you should run away and stop showing off your strength. Otherwise, you will have a good life on the battlefield, and I will not be a widow. If you dare to leave me, I will take Archer to remarry!"

"Just talk nonsense, what can happen to me?" Feng Shi didn't take his wife's threat at all, but just looked at her wife and smiled foolishly: "Wait, I will make a contribution this time and make a hundred households. In the future, you won't have to work hard to sell buns."

Su Jin wanted to say that she didn't care about fame and fortune, as long as he was good, Feng Shi finally hugged the mother and the wife and rushed to Qianhuyuan to gather.
