Ten days have passed in a row.

During these ten days, Zhu Xiuyuan mainly did one thing-

Read books in the study of Dong's mansion, especially classics related to history.

After roughly reviewing the classics of all dynasties, Zhu Xiuyuan came to a conclusion that the dynasty he lived in did not belong to any period in history!

This is a completely empty dynasty!

The place where the Dong family is located is called Xunyang County. Xunyang County belongs to Jiangzhou, and the county town is Zhoucheng.

Jiangzhou belongs to the Chen State.

However, according to Zhu Xiuyuan's observation of the customs and peoples of the Chen State, mountains and geography, and clues found in historical books, this Chen State is not the Chen State. It is neither the Chen State who was enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty in history, nor the Chen State in the Southern Dynasties in the "Song, Qi, Liang and Chen".

This Chen State is similar to the Southern Dynasty's Chen State in some aspects. For example, the emperor of this Chen State is also named Shubao, but the national surname is Liu, and the full name is "Liu Shubao".

There is also a concubine in Chen State who is good at dancing and has a charming posture, called "You Lihua"...

...

...

One day, Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen were enjoying breakfast in the back hall of Dongfu West Courtyard.

"Oh!" Dong Cheng took a sip of the porridge, put down the bowl, glanced at the steamed bun that had been gnawed in his hand, and sighed heavily. After sighing, his appetite seemed to have completely disappeared. The steamed bun that had been gnawed was thrown on the table.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Dong Shuzhen immediately dropped the food in her hand and ran to Dong Cheng, supporting Dong Cheng's arm. Her tender face was full of concern.

What a caring little cotton jacket!

However, Dong Cheng glared at Dong Shuzhen, showing off his majesty as a father, and said, "When I go back and sit down, I'm all the people who have started a family and a family. What kind of tugs and pulls and pulls, what kind of qualities are there!"

"Oh!" Dong Shuzhen's hand seemed to be scalded by boiling water, and immediately let go of the hand that was supporting Dong Cheng, drooped her head, and slowly walked back.

"Son-in-law, Zhen'er is too chaotic. You will have to worry more about it in the future. You need to be disciplined more!"

Dong Cheng's face was filled with fatigue, his two sword eyebrows were slightly frowning, his eyes were dull, and he looked overworked.

In fact, Dong Cheng is an old handsome guy. If he is ten years younger, he will definitely fascinate a large number of ladies. Otherwise, Dong Cheng would not have given birth to Dong Shuyu, and two sisters like Dong Shuzhen, who are like flowers, are all inherited.

"Okay, my father-in-law!" Zhu Xiuyuan quickly put down the steamed buns and pastries he was holding, bowed and agreed.

In fact, Dong Cheng has said this many times within these ten days.

Because his young wife Dong Shuzhen consciously got married, she thought she was free under the "spoofing" of the dog-headed military advisor Xia Wu, so she became more and more courageous. She actually sneaked out of the mansion and ran to the street to play and play. Unfortunately, she happened to be caught by Dong Cheng, who had just returned from the state yamen...

Dong Cheng grinned and captured Dong Shuzhen back to his house, preaching harshly.

Then he personally took Dong Shuzhen and sent it to Zhu Xiuyuan in Dongyuan to preach. He preached it. The general meaning was that Dong Shuzhen was already your Zhu Xiuyuan's wife, so you should take care of her!

That's the reason why it's said that marriage is followed by husband.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan is very "easy-around". He believes that children should play more and should not be banned.

So after two days of going well, Dong Shuzhen sneaked out of the house to play again.

Who is the Dongyuan of Dongfu? It has a separate street gate. It doesn’t have to pass through the Dongfu gate without entering or leaving, which is very convenient.

After sneaking out of the mansion twice, Dong Shuzhen was caught by Dong Cheng again. Now Dong Cheng got angry and gave Dong Shuzhen a death order. Want to go out of the mansion to play? Well, you must be accompanied by your husband in person. If your husband doesn't take you out, you can't step out of the mansion.

To this end, Dong Cheng arranged a few servants to guard the street gate of Dongyuan day and night to prevent Dong Shuzhen from sneaking out of the mansion again.

Dong Shuzhen was like the cat who had stole the fishy fish. She had already tasted the joy of going out to play. She was ecstatic and sat in the mansion all day long, just like being in jail.

Therefore, Dong Shuzhen tried many times to "please" Dong Cheng, either acting cute or acting cute, in order to take back his fate.

However, Dong Cheng was always unmoved. Just like before, Dong Shuzhen cared about Dong Cheng like a caring little cotton jacket, but Dong Cheng seriously preached her...

When he thought of the matter between Dong Cheng and Dong Shuzhen, Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth was twitching.

After he answered Dong Cheng, he raised his eyes and met Dong Shuzhen who walked back with his head hanging down. Dong Shuzhen stuck out her tongue, and then looked at Zhu Xiuyuan with a flattering look...

"Dad, but what's wrong with the yamen? Dad, you have to take good care of yourself. You have lost a lot of weight recently."

The eldest lady Dong Shuyu ignored the nonsense between Dong Cheng and Dong Shuzhen throughout the whole process. After Zhu Xiuyuan answered Dong Cheng, Dong Shuyu put down a steamed bun that had been gnawed one-third of the time and looked at his father Dong Cheng with concern. Although his words were cold, he could still hear the concern and warmth.

"Hey, it's time to check the tea tax accounts again in the year. It's normal for you to be more busy during this period. Then Fuliang County and Sicang are involved in the military... Forget it, you can't understand after saying this."

Dong Cheng's tired expression was slightly relaxed. He leaned against the back of the chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "By the way, how is the business of the tea shop?"

At this time, Dong Shuzhen had already walked back to Zhu Xiuyuan and sat down. The two young couple looked at each other, picked up the pastry and steamed buns, and sat with the porridge and pickled vegetables. While listening to the conversation between Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu, they chewed and ate slowly.

"Dad, my daughter is incompetent." When Dong Shuyu talked about the tea shop, her expression turned dark. More than ten days have passed, and the tea shop is getting worse and worse. She also used some means, but it was completely useless. It was almost impossible to make the tea shop come back through open or secret means. "The business of the tea shop plummeted. The Hua family and the governor, the Sima family and almost all tea shops surrounded our tea shop, daughter... have not yet found a solution."

"It's okay. If the tea shop cannot continue to operate, just close the door! Without the income from the tea shop, my Dong family has made little money, but it will not be too bad." Dong Cheng leaned against the backrest of the chair and said calmly.

"Yes, Dad!" Dong Shuyu was unwilling to accept it, but Dong Cheng said so, so she had to answer.

"Sister, are the tea shop busy now? Do you need help?" Dong Shuzhen raised her little head from the porridge bowl, her eyes shining, and she looked at Dong Shuyu expectantly.
