Chapter Sixteen
"Third aunt, thank you." Xu Lang said sincerely. His life in Zhaowenguan was much better than his life in Xu's mansion, and all this was given to him by Tao.
"Call me Aunt Tao." Tao smiled. You can't really separate your relationship with Shen Muke, so it's better to separate your relationship in terms of titles.
"Aunt Tao." Xu Lang changed his mouth obediently, knowing in his heart that Tao's life in the Shen family was probably not going well.
"Ahhhh." Chen Danxia was in Tao's arms and screamed at Xu Lang, reaching out to ask him to hug her. She was still a baby, and she didn't have to tell the rules of men and women not being able to marry each other. At this time, she would not take advantage of the handsome man, and when would she wait?
Xu Lang looked at Chen Danxia's hand stretching out, and had not moved for a long time. His stepmother Chen Gong married in and gave him two brothers and sisters. However, Chen Gong regarded him as a beast and said in private that he was born to defeat his mother and was an ominous person. He was not allowed to get close to them. He was afraid that Tao would be worried.
"Langge'er, this is my daughter. Her name is Danxia. You can call her Xia'er or Xiaojiumei." Tao smiled.
"Little Jiumei." Xu Lang called softly.
Tao smiled and handed Chen Danxia to him. Xu Lang took the little man over steadily. He had eaten well and slept well in the past few months. He practiced a few moves with the fist master. He grew taller and stronger, so it was too easy to hold a little baby.
Chen Danxia lay in the arms of the handsome man, smelling the faint fragrance of orchids on his body, grinning open his mouth, revealing his pink gums, and smiling happily. Xu Lang looked at her innocent smile, and a warm smile appeared on his handsome face. Chen Danxia reached out to touch Xu Lang's chin, and Xu Lang lowered his head to facilitate her movements.
Chen Danxia touched her smoothly and ate the handsome man's tofu. She was so proud that she drooled out with laughter. Xu Lang sat down by the railing, took out a white cotton squid from her arms, and carefully wiped her saliva.
After a while, the maid came to invite them to the table. According to the customs, Tao's father and mother both gave Chen Danxia something with good meanings. Xu Lang also gave her a gift, which was a jade pendant carved with a ribbon bird.
Shou and Shou are homophones. Giving this jade pendant means wishing Chen Danxia a long life. It is best to get a gift as a hundred-day gift. Chen Danxia likes the jade pendant he gave, so he held it tightly. Tao smiled and said, "Be good at Xiao Jiuer, you are still young, wait until you get older before wearing it. Mom will help you collect it first."
Chen Danxia was coaxed by Tao and let go of his hand, and screamed at Tao. Tao laughed, "I understand, I will definitely help you put it away, it won't be damaged, don't worry." After getting this sentence, she was satisfied.
After the Hundred Days Banquet of Chen Danxia, the rain prayer ceremony came to an end. The dark clouds in the sky began to accumulate. It was a long time to get a sweet rain. This was a great joy. The people carried pots, bowls, spoons and basins to fill the rain, and danced happily in the rain.
The rumors disappeared with the heavy rain, and the emperor's reputation also recovered. There was a rumor among the people that he was the King of Heaven.
There was an autumn rain and a cold, and the weather gradually became colder. There was no need to place ice plates in the house, and the cold jade was taken down and put away.
On September 17th, the second wife added another concubine, and Chen Mushi named her Chen Danli. Shen's family was Ding Xingwang, and the girls were ranked eleventh, and there were as many as seven young masters.
Life was just like this. Tao Kan's eldest son Tao Ze's marriage was settled two years ago. He negotiated with the Huang family and chose the auspicious day of the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month this year. Jin was busy marrying his eldest daughter while busy marrying his eldest daughter.
Because of Tao's dream, the Tao family not only avoided the disaster, but also obtained a title and became a nobleman from a businessman. Tao Qing did not need to commit himself to Princess Rui's father, and could choose a husband to marry. Jin Shiyue was willing to listen to her sister-in-law's opinions and come to her to discuss with her.
Tao Qing and Tao Jie came with each other. When it came to Tao Qing's marriage, after chatting for a few words, Jin beat the two sisters out. Chen Danxia had already learned from Tao's place why her aunt came. He thought he could stay in the room and eavesdrop on her face, but who thought that her two cousins would carry her out.
Chen Danxia screamed twice, two cousins, please don’t stop her from listening to gossip!
"Sister, look, I'm going out to play, Sister Xiaojiu is so happy." Tao Jie smiled.
"Just like when you were a child, you like to go out and don't want to stay in the house." Tao Qing smiled.
Chen Danxia pouted his little mouth depressedly, and was pitiful as a baby who could not speak or walk. All his wishes were determined by others.
Tao Qing held Chen Danxia and took Tao Jie to wander around the small garden. The three-bedroom garden had been replaced with cold-resistant flowers, adding a few bright colors to the depressed winter, which looked pleasing to the eye.
Tao Jie followed her sister, teasing her little cousin. When she was having fun, a woman with a belly erect walked slowly over from another road with two maids.
The Tao sisters didn't know anyone, Chen Danxia knew her. They came because of her despicable concubine Dong Qixiu. According to her mother's words, she will have to add another concubine in January next year.
"Miss Big Cousin, she is the concubine of the Third Master." Mrs. Lu whispered.
Tao Qing frowned, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and said, "Let's go there."
Tao Kan is clean and has no concubines at home. Tao Qing is not happy with concubines and others, and is unwilling to deal with them. Now he is facing his uncle's concubine or pregnant concubine. If something goes wrong, it will cause trouble for his aunt.
But Tao Qing wanted to avoid it, but Dong Qixiu met them, stopped them, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in the garden?"
This tone sounded very unpleasant. What qualifications does a concubine have to come and question the family and the legitimate girl of the mistress? She just became charming because of her favor.
Chen Danxia tried hard to roll his eyes and despise her, but she was too young and failed to succeed, so she could only spit out a milk bubble to show her disgust.
"Stop, don't come over." Tao Jie shouted and stopped Dong Qixiu from approaching. The back house of the Tao family was clean, but Jin was frightened by the sister-in-law's affairs and immediately found someone to supplement the knowledge for his two daughters. It happened that a pregnant concubine was talking about the fact that she used her belly to murder her true wife. How could Tao Jie be worse than facing a great enemy?
"Oh, Miss Tao Second is so powerful. The surname of this house is Chen, not Tao." Dong Qixiu continued to walk over with fearlessness.
Tao Qing had some concerns and pulled Tao Jie to take a step back. Dong Qixiu smiled proudly, Tao Qing glanced at her contemptuously and said, "Those who are in charge of others are more talented and foolish."
This was more direct, even Chen Danxia, the "illiterate" person, understood, let alone Dong Qixiu, who was well-read about poetry and books. Chen Danxia looked at Dong Qixiu with a dark face, cracked his mouth and revealed four white little teeth, and smiled mockingly.
Dong Qixiu kept staring at Chen Danxia, understanding the meaning of her smile, staring at her with fierce eyes, this dead girl movie.
Mrs. Lu was shocked and squeezed over, blocked her fierce gaze with her thick body, and said with a stern face: "Auntie Dong, it's wind blowing, please go back to your room to rest, don't get sick from the cold."
The two maids who were with Dong Qixiu were not brought out by Dong Qixiu from the Dong family, but were arranged by Chen Muke later. They stepped forward and helped her left and right, and advised her that it was a north wind and the weather was cold. Let's go back to the house to warm up.
The third master loves his aunt, but he can't do anything to his wife. The aunt is protected by the third master, and she is not afraid of her wife and dares to offend her wife. No one protects her. You have to know that the monthly money has to be collected from her wife. It makes her angry and they have no place to cry.
