Wen Family Has a Wife

"That's not true." Wen Yuanhong raised his head and straightened his body a bit.

"That's enough! Since I'm working with others, I should learn more..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly widened her eyes and stood up abruptly, "Wait, I seem to have thought of it." what."

"What?" Wen Yuanhong looked blank.

Chen Ningya approached him and asked, "You said that the bandit's nest is in those five mountains?"

"Yes! Is there anything strange about this?" Wen Yuanhong didn't know why.

Chen Ningya shook her head, fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "I'll go out tomorrow and talk about it."

Wen Yuanhong didn't know what kind of medicine Chen Ningya was selling in the gourd, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he agreed softly and left.

On the same day, Chen Ningya sent someone to send a message to Changxin.

Before dawn the next day, Changxin's carriage was already waiting outside Unknown Village. Chen Ningya followed Changxin and left without taking anyone with her. When Wen Yuanhong and his wife received the news, Chen Ningya had already been out for a long time.

Because he didn't understand, Wen Yuanhong was a little uneasy, so he came back early, and was invited by Lan Siu as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Seeing Chen Ningya, Wen Yuanhong couldn't wait to ask: "Mother, why did you leave today without saying a word, without taking anyone with you, what if something happens?"

Chen Ningya spat at him and rolled her eyes, "Can't you just hope for me?"

"Mother, I didn't mean that!" Wen Yuanhong was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. It was June again, and beads of sweat rolled down visibly to the naked eye.

Chen Ningya gave him a funny look, "That's all it takes! It's over, I won't tease you anymore, just take a look at this thing."

As she spoke, she took out a wooden box from her bosom, and explained: "I found this thing in that bandit's lair at the beginning, because it looked strange, and it was heavy when you weighed it. Your Uncle Zhang Yun took it as a treasure, and sold it to someone else when you turned around. Your father, because your father is a carpenter, you can still judge whether the wood is good or bad, so he bought this thing for one thousand taels. We tried to get this box later, and after studying for a long time, we found that this thing is a trick box .

Based on my ability and your father's ability, I still can't open it, so the thing is left idle. I just remembered that there is such a thing after you mentioned it yesterday. Let me tell you first, I don't know what it is, and I'm not sure. Can I help you? Also, it takes a lot of energy to unlock the mechanism. Maybe all of your hard work will be in vain in the end, so do you still want to open it? "

Wen Yuanhong took the box without even thinking about it, and said excitedly, "Yes! Open it even if it's a waste of effort. Mother, don't worry, the thing is yours. If it is opened, I will notify you as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Wen Yuanhong rushed out excitedly.

Chen Ningya shouted behind him: "Where are you going at this late?"

"I'm not coming back at night! Mom, tell Yiyun for me."

Only such a sentence was left in the wind, and Wen Yuanhong had already disappeared without a trace.

Chen Ningya smiled helplessly, and ignored the matter. Early the next morning, she took Wen Yuanjing back to Fushan Village.

She was amazed by the changes in the village, especially the sound of reading aloud that could be heard standing at the entrance of the village. This was a sound that was impossible to hear before, but at this moment, she heard it.

At this moment, Chen Ningya slowly closed her eyes, her thoughts drifted away, and she thought of the little things she had with Wen Youshan, as well as the hardships and difficulties along the way.

When the carriage stopped, she thought she had already arrived at her home halfway up the mountain, but unexpectedly she was still on the village road. She poked her head out and saw Mrs. Zhao. , the whole village knew that Chen Ningya was back.

When she was sitting in her main room, she still couldn't laugh or cry, looked at the woman who was sitting in the room, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you all busy at the moment?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Ye Shi grinned and said, "You're back, we can make it no matter how busy we are."

Chen Ningya was very heartwarming, but she joked on her face, "Since you miss me so much, did you bring me something nice?"

"It really is!" Said Mrs. Ye went out and came in with a basket,

"The first crop of lotus seeds is the most tender, peel and eat directly! How about it, I will treat you well!"

Chen Ningya was shocked, "I was just joking, but you are serious."

Mrs. Ye raised her eyebrows proudly, "I used to eat what you got and take what you got, now it's my turn to return it, otherwise I won't be ashamed to come to your house in the future!"

Chen Ningya laughed and asked the maid to put the lotus seeds on a plate, and Zheng Cui took out a bag of preserved fruits like a magic trick.

Mrs. Zhao stared straight at it, "Okay! You are all busy with me bringing things, if it doesn't work, then I have to count as a share, otherwise it seems that I am too stingy, so I will go home and kill a few chickens and ducks. It doesn’t matter whether it’s stewed or baked, just do it!”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhao ran away in a hurry, without giving anyone a chance to refuse.

Ye Shi and Zheng Cui looked at each other, got up and said: "I think about it, those fish and shrimps in my family are almost ready to come out of the pond, Aning, wait, I will ask the head of the family to bring us a basket now, let's eat roasted meat." The fish is delicious!"

"Yes, yes, my sheep can also be slaughtered, just wait." Zheng Cui said hastily.

Ye's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, and he gave Zheng Cui a thumbs up, "You can do it!"

Chen Ningya's expression changed in fright, "Don't be fooled! Chicken, duck and fish are fine, but what's the matter with slaughtering sheep?"

A sheep earns several taels of silver, which is not comparable to chickens, ducks and fish. She dare not let Zheng Cui make such a big deal.

Zheng Cui was determined to slaughter the sheep and ran faster than Ye Shi.

Chen Ningya had no choice but to let Lan Si chase after her to persuade her.

As a result, Lan Si failed to stop Zheng Cui, but stayed at Tao's house to help.

Wen Yuanjing couldn't help laughing after knowing this, "Mother, these aunts are really good to you! Sure enough, you still have vision!"

Chen Ningya had a headache, "It's just too honest! I just came back and slaughtered the sheep! Even your second sister-in-law didn't get this kind of treatment when she returned to her mother's house. I will explain to Lan Ling later and give the Tao family some compensation before leaving. , can’t let them suffer.”

A sheep may be half a year's income for ordinary people, it is too precious!

Wen Yuanjing also knew this truth, rolled her eyes, and said: "Mother, you should compensate others, but don't make it too obvious, just this time we brought back a lot of things from Lingnan, you can send some Give them."

"for example?"

"For example, the pearls produced on Zhuya, of course, are not southern pearls, but those ordinary pearls. When I left, the two aunts gave me a box each, saying that they were not worth much, and asked me to bring them back to make hair accessories. They wear pearls that look good and are worthless in their eyes. If you get them in Qing'an County, you can probably sell them for a few taels of silver. After all, they are things from the sea. They are not common. Why don't you just make up for it?

In addition, the Tao family has many daughters, even though they are married, they can still be counted in it, and they won't say anything if you give them one or two more grandchildren. "Wen Yuanjing said unhurriedly.
