His voice was low, but it had a certain soothing power. Shichunqun felt inexplicably at ease, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, Chu Ling was no longer in the room. Ever since they got married, Chu Ling seemed to have become accustomed to a life of no one to take care of her. She often walked alone, but Shi Chunfen knew that this was not a long-term solution and she could not let it go.
She did nothing, otherwise the second and third Sangpi would soon intervene in her and Chu Ling's lives, and Chu Ling might not be able to refuse every time.
Shi Chunfen sat up and stared at the empty room for a while, then finally made up his mind and called Yu Atu, Hong Xing and Lu Tao all in.
"Starting from today, you have to learn how to serve the uncle with me. This is the main residence of Huating County, not like the Chu family. If we don't do it, others will naturally do it. Even if you want to do it, you won't have a chance.
have no idea?"
Shi Chunfen's expression was serious, and his tone was rare and stern, which made the three of them startled.
However, they had been following Shi Chunquin during this period, and naturally they had foreseen some clues, so they were just stunned for a moment, and then quickly agreed: "I know."
Yu Atu looked at the Spring Equinox and asked, "Is grandma going to take the initiative?"
"Yes." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly, and there was nothing to avoid, "I have always been the legitimate eldest mistress. Now that I have taken this position, there is no reason to abdicate in favor of others."
Her tone was gentle, but her eyes were extremely firm. Yu Atu was slightly startled when she saw her, and some complicated feelings welled up in her heart.
Hongxing and Lutao didn't think so much, both looked excited, "Grandma should have done this long ago, otherwise when we go back, Sangpi will really think that we don't know how to serve others!"
When it comes to Sangpi, everyone is filled with indignation. They are all maids. Why should she be superior to others? Is it just because of her beauty that she is so unscrupulous?
Fortunately, the uncle didn't like her, otherwise they really don't know how much suffering they would suffer under Sangpi's hands!
Shi Chunfen also knew that Sangpi's matter was due to his incompetence, so he smiled apologetically at them, "Don't worry, I won't back down in the future." The head of Huating County could not tolerate her backing down!
The spring mountains are smiling, the grass grows and orioles are flying. The spring in Huating is later than in Liuzhou. It is supposed to be the early summer but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is full of spring. In the spring scenery of the garden, two young men are holding long swords and fighting together. Silver
There was a flash of light, the robes were flying, one person's sword was fierce, both hard and soft, and the other's sword was like a swimming dragon, with ease. In an instant, the landscape was eclipsed, and it seemed that there were only these two people and two swords left in the world.
I don't know how long they fought, but they heard a local sound, a long sword was released, and a woman's chuckle sounded in the garden, "Axiu, you lose."
Chu Xiu took a few steps back and looked at the graceful man in front of him with a heavy gaze. It was like this every time. No matter how hard he tried, the sword in his hand could not surpass this man. The sword was like this, the poetry was like this, the music, chess, calligraphy and painting were like this.
It's all like this, no one can compare with him, even age will always be below him.
Chu Ling noticed his gaze and smiled at him nonchalantly, "Yes, you have made progress again."
Chu Xiu withdrew his gaze and tugged at the corner of his lips with difficulty, "I'm still not as good as you."
The head of Huating County came over and happened to hear this sentence. He immediately laughed and said: "Fool, what does it have to do with losing to your brother? You two brothers are indifferent to each other."
Chu Ling took a few steps forward, raised Chu Xiu's sword with his foot, and kicked it in his direction, "Brothers are no different from each other, but there will inevitably be differences in martial arts. Second brother, I accept it."
Chu Xiu stretched out his hand to catch it, his expression softened a bit, "It doesn't matter."
The head of Huating County saw that the relationship between their brothers was a bit unfamiliar, and his eyes darkened unconsciously, but the smile on his lips did not change, "Okay, you are tired too, let's go have a cup of tea and rest together!"
The two of them put down their weapons and followed Huating County Lord to a nearby pavilion. There was already a maid in the pavilion making tea, waiting for them to go and enjoy it.
"This tea is from Fifth Ding. We in Huating grow it ourselves. Do you want to try it?"
Huating is surrounded by mountains and rivers. In addition to being suitable for military training, it is also a good place for agricultural development. The tea house is a major local feature, and Jiu Kuding is the leader in local tea. From one to nine, the bitter taste gradually becomes stronger.
There are nine flavors of tea, each with its own merits. Fifth Ding is the fifth bitter among them. It has moderate bitterness and mellow tea aroma. It is the one with the least output and the highest price. The people of Huating have worked hard for many years to achieve the taste it has today.
Chu Ling came to Huating rarely, and the most important thing was to listen to his evaluation, so he didn't hesitate, took it and took a sip, "It's sweet in the mouth, but bitter in the aftertaste, which is different from other teas."
"Yes." The mayor of Huating County was very satisfied with his answer, "This is the characteristic of Jiu Kuding. People who like it will not find it bitter, but people who don't like it will never like to drink it."
Chu Xiu also picked up the tea cup and took a sip. There was no expression on his face. He was obviously used to drinking.
The head of Huating County added: "I have been growing these Kuding for many years, and now the flavor output has almost increased. I plan to send a batch to Liuzhou this year to try selling it. Aling, do you think it's okay?"
It was sent to Liuzhou, but not directly to the Chu family’s teahouse.
Chu Ling looked at her with a complicated expression, "Does mother want to start her own business?"
He asked quite frankly, and the head of Huating County did not deny it, "This is something the people of Huating grew themselves, and it is also their pride. I don't want to do it to others."
"But the Chu family are not outsiders." Chu Ling said bluntly: "Placing it in the Chu family's tea house will not only save costs, but also become popular throughout Liuzhou as quickly as possible. Unless the mother wants to draw a clear line with the Chu family?"
Huating County Lord lowered her eyes, and her usually strong face showed a rare hint of guilt. She remained silent for who knows how long. Just when Chu Ling thought she wouldn't speak, she slowly raised her head, "Over the years, I have asked myself:
The only thing they can talk about as to what they owe the Chu family is the military pay subsidy. If the people of Huating can earn this military pay on their own, that would be great. Then I don’t have to be controlled by the Chu family anymore. Look at you.
Grandma’s face.”
Her words were so sincere that Chu Ling almost believed them, but he chuckled softly and shook his head helplessly, "There is no need for mother to blame her dissatisfaction with father on grandmother."
Three feet of ice is not as cold as a day. The reason why Huating County Lord ran away in anger was due to the old lady and Chu Linghe's spring equinox, but the biggest reason was that he had separated from his husband.
In many cases, marriage is more than just a matter of two people, but more often than not, marriage is only a matter of two people.
