It was snowing heavily, and it was the Spring Festival of the year again. The seventh day of the first lunar month was Cheng Jue's 14th birthday. Chen Danxia went to the treasure chest to pick up her treasures, and found a tourmaline buckle with a carved cloud pattern. Last year's gift was prepared by Tao for her.

"I wish Brother Cheng a happy birthday, and I wish Brother Cheng a smooth pass the boy test." Chen Danxia smiled sweetly.

"Thank you, Xiaojiu sister." Cheng Jue took the buckle with both hands, and a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "Littlejiu sister is in love."

In February, Cheng Jue was going to take the boy exam. With his knowledge, he could take the boy exam three or four years ago, but Mr. Cheng refused to agree, for fear that his grandson would respond to the words "premature wisdom and easy to be alive". He must have been fourteen years old before he took the boy exam.

Cheng Jue followed his grandfather's words and focused on studying poetry and books. The county examination in February was successfully passed, and the prefecture examination in April was also successfully passed, and all were cases. If he got the case again in the court examination in June, he would be a little Sanyuan.

"Congratulations to Brother Cheng, Congratulations to Brother Cheng." Chen Danxia put his two fat claws together and bowed to him, looking cute and cute.

"Thank you, Xiaojiu sister." Cheng Jue touched her bud head and smiled gently.

"Desheng cake, Brother Cheng's second brother." Chen Danxia pulled off a small piece of pastry and handed it to him, "Sweet and delicious." Cheng Jue didn't like sweets, but he lowered his head and bitten the small piece of pastry over and ate it.

In late May, Cheng Jue packed his clothes and went to Tanzhou Prefecture to participate in the college entrance examination. Their father, Mr. Cheng and his elder brother, Cheng Yu, were also accompanying him. Cheng Yu was about to participate in the provincial examination in August this year.

On the seventh day of the sixth month, Tao Ze and Tao Jie arrived in Lutai City. In mid-May, Tao received the letter and packed the yard. When he saw his nephews and nieces arrived, Tao was very happy and quickly beat the people to serve them to wash.

After a while, Tao Jie washed and changed her clothes, came to see Tao again. Seeing Chen Danxia gong acting coquettishly in Tao's arms, she asked with a smile: "Little Jiu Mei, do you still remember me?"

Chen Danxia's tender shell was filled with old stuffing. Of course, she remembered Tao Jie, but if she wanted to pretend to be a child, she could only pretend not to remember, bit her right index finger and tilted her head to look at her.

"Xiao Jiuer, this is your second cousin." Tao smiled.

"Second cousin." Chen Danxia called out in a slight voice.

"Oh." Tao Jie smiled and reached out, "Little Jiumei, can I hug you?"

Chen Danxia obediently let her hug and kiss her, and in return, she covered her face with saliva.

A few days later, Tao Ze went to Anhua County to purchase autumn grain, and Tao also followed him from his heart. From February next year, there was no rain in Liuxian, Wugu and other counties for several months, the wells and springs were dry, the people were tired, and they were homeless. Tao hoarded grain, not for money, but just to seek help from the suffering people.

Chen Danxia soon learned the reason why Tao Jie came to Lutai. She fought with someone and was forced to leave home to avoid disaster. The person who fought with her was 6 Youlan, the second girl from the Chongbei Hou Mansion. The two fought very fiercely, and 6 Youlan's right hand was dislocated.

Although Tao Jie knew that he had caused a big disaster, he insisted that 6 Youlan should be beaten. Tao Kan prepared a heavy gift and went to Chongbei Hou Mansion to apologize, but 6 Youlan refused to forgive him and shouted that she would never let Tao Jie go. Tao Kan was afraid that something would happen to her daughter, so she could only ask her eldest son to send her to her sister to hide for a while, and then go back after the matter faded.

"Jie'er, why do you want to fight with her?" Dow asked curiously.

"I know it's wrong to hit someone, but she did it too much." Tao Jie said, pulling her handkerchief.

Dow asked, "What did she do?"

"She forced a good wife in the street! I just saw the injustice on the road and drew her sword to help." This is how Tao Jie and 6 Youlan's hatred came to be. Then, Tao Jie, who was taught by Jin, avoided 6 Youlan everywhere, but 6 Youlan became arrogant and this time the fight was the first move.

Chen Danxia was shocked. Dafeng's people are so tough! Why are there girls who force women to rob them everywhere? Are you a little reserved?

"She, who did she snatch it?" Tao was obviously shocked and stuttered.

"I am a Confucian scholar who came to Jindu to travel." Tao Jie rescued the person and left. She was so arrogant that she did not leave her name or asked her name.

"You can live with your aunt with peace of mind. When the matter is over, then go back to Jindu." Tao said with a smile.

"I'll help my aunt take care of Xiaojiumei." Tao Jie kissed Chen Danxia's little face.

"Okay." Tao replied with a smile.

Tao did not allow Chen Danxia and Chen Dan to get too close. Shen Baimi and Shen Baiyu wanted to follow Mr. Cheng to go to school. Since Cheng Yu crawled into a dog hole with Chen Danxia once, he was controlled by Mr. Cheng and Miao. He rarely came to ride a wooden horse. Now the four little girls around her are playing with Chen Danxia.

The little girls dared not take the little master to make a fuss. They played gentle games, picked flower ropes, played houses, and uncensored the nine series. When Tao Jie came, Chen Danxia became a little lady from a little lady, and he just needed to put his wings on his way to fly into the sky.

Tao Jie brought an exquisite little slingshot from Jindu to her little cousin, and then took her little cousin to chase the dog, making it messy and dusty. As long as the daughter is happy, Tao did not stop her at all, and let the two sisters rush around at home.

On that afternoon, Chen Muke, who had never entered the main courtyard since Qingming Festival, suddenly came over and saw a silver light flashing in the air when he entered the door.

"Little Jiumei, come again, I'll hide it correctly. I'll shoot it in the eye." Tao Jie took out another silver bead from the box and handed it to Chen Danxia.

Chen Muke looked closely and saw Chen Danxia sitting on the soft couch with a smile, holding a chicken blood vine slingshot in his hand, and a silver bead stuffed in his leather pocket, shooting towards the soft cushion embroidered with a pine crane embroidered.

"What are you doing?" Chen Muke shouted loudly.

Chen Danxia heard the maid's voice to pay his respects to him. He knew that he had come in, but was not scared by him. He loosened his little hand, holding his skin pocket, and the silver beads flew out, hitting the cushion, falling down and falling on the couch.

"Why is the master here?" Tao put down the small clothes he made for Chen Danxia in his hand and stood up and asked.

The maids served the two girls to put on their shoes.

Chen Danxia and Tao Jie bowed their knees, one called their father and the other called their uncle. Chen Muke drooped his eyelids and snorted lightly. Tao Jie held Chen Danxia's hand and took her out, and the servants also retreated.

Chen Muke picked up the silver beads on the couch and asked, "Don't you think it's too much for you tolerate Xiao Jiuer?"

Although there is no need for social engagements during the days of mourning, Chen Muke is used to being overly ruthless. Twenty-five taels of silver per month are not enough for him. He hates that Tao has taken so much money and wasted a little girl who is over three years old.

"Don't think it." Tao said calmly.

Chen Muke frowned and glared at her, "What did you say?"

"As long as Xiao Jiuer is happy, not to mention silver bead bullets, or gold bead bullets, it is not impossible for her to play with it." Tao said lightly. She has a generous dowry and makes money. She must raise her wealth and support her precious daughter. In her dream, her daughter died as soon as she was born, and now she wants to make up for her daughter.

"What are you saying? How can every family of children be so extravagant and wasteful?" Chen Muke asked sternly.

"What's wrong with extravagance? What's wrong with waste? It's not that you can't afford to squander." Tao straightened his waist, "My daughter should eat the best, use the best, and play the best."

"You are not a big mistake. Girls are raised in their parents' homes. In the future, they will not be ashamed of their family because of their shallow eyes." Chen Muke changed his mind, "But don't forget to call them mothers. You can't just raise Xiao Jiuer, but take more care of them. You should not lose anything if you need to buy something."

"Yes, they called me mother, but they were not born to me, so I should treat them equally. Hum, the master went to ask the old lady to see if she could regard her second and third aunts as her own children?" Tao asked angrily. Those who were born in vain, who also wanted to compare with her daughter, were simply dreaming.

"How could you become so unreasonable? So unreasonable?" Chen Muke asked angrily.

Tao gritted his teeth, calmed himself down, and asked, "Honey, have you heard some gossip? Are you running to me for a big thunder?"
