After I Transmigrated into the Book, I Pampered the Powerful Official

On the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, this year Chen Xiuyan plans to wrap some zongzi, especially the egg yolk meat zongzi she ate before, which is not available here. Adults, and wealthy merchants... This is the change brought about by the change of status.

Chen Xiuyan made egg yolk meat dumplings, jujube paste dumplings, red bean paste dumplings and bacon dumplings, and returned a few to each family, and everyone was very happy.

As the future in-laws of the Cai family, Chen Xiuyan had prepared a New Year's gift early in the morning for Luo Mingqing to send it in person. Their wedding date is set on the eighth day of February next year, and they are prospective sons-in-law.

This day, someone from Chenjia Village also came to deliver rice dumplings to Chen Xiuyan. It was Chen Mugui and the He family who came. If Chen Xiuyan hadn't seen her second sister-in-law, she would have never recognized her second brother.

She has a modeled face with sharp edges and piercing eyes, but it may be because the beard has just been shaved off. The skin around the chin and lips is fairer than other parts of the face, but it does not affect the handsome appearance at all.

Chen Xiuyan had long imagined what her father and two elder brothers would look like under their beards. Before, she could imagine that they looked good just by looking at their eyes and nose, but it was really unexpected that they were so good. Thinking of her own beauty, she felt that it was in line with common sense.

Chen Mugui shyly scratched his head being stared at by his own sister. He blamed Chen Xiuyan for attracting and looking at her husband again. It was the first time she saw a beardless husband after seven years of marriage. Trimmed, but never shaved. Now that I know the reason, it's better not to shave. I don't know how many girls can't walk along the way.

However, when He thought that his father-in-law and elder brother had all shaved their beards, he felt unreasonably balanced, at least he was not the only one worried.

"Second brother is so good-looking, why didn't you show it before, what a pity." Chen Xiuyan invited people in, not forgetting to tease all the way, "Look at the eyes of second sister-in-law, she is fascinated by you again .”

He blushed immediately from being teased, and Chen Mugui's ears were also red.

"Father and elder brother also shaved?" Chen Xiuyan asked curiously.

"Well, I shaved it." Chen Mugui replied honestly, "Dad said, now that my brother-in-law is an official, it's fine if we shave our beards."

Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised. Could it be that there are still people who value masculinity?In ancient times, women were prone to accidents when they were too beautiful, and men also had worries and troubles in this regard?
"Father said that my brother-in-law was almost arrested and married into a family because of his good looks. Since then, the boys in the family can't shave their beards." Chen Mugui explained.

Chen Xiuyan didn't expect that the uncle whom she had never met would have such an experience, and she suddenly felt a bit shy, maybe the fact that her father had a beard was only one aspect of the reason, because the missing uncle was the important reason.

"Why did dad want to shave it?" Chen Xiuyan put away her hippie smile and asked worriedly.

"This time I came here to deliver zongzi for a reason." Chen Mugui apologized, "Father thinks that my brother-in-law has different contacts now, so if I can find out about my uncle's situation, there must be a conclusion whether he is alive or dead."

"If the person is gone, we will build a clothes tomb at home. If it is still there, we will have no regrets in our life." Chen Mugui repeated Chen Dazhong's words, with a gloomy expression.

Chen Xiuyan didn't have the heart to say that when she went to the capital, she actually had trouble with Tao Lao to help her find out. There were soldiers named Chen Zhong, but none of them matched, either because of different regions or different ages. The people are gone; there is another possibility that in other places, the capital cannot find out the information of all the people in the army, and even the Minister of the Ministry of War cannot ask for military status information in detail.

So in the final analysis, there is no slight change from the previous situation.

"When we arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, I asked my husband to inquire about it, and I asked Mr. Tao to inquire about it for us when he returned to Beijing. I asked about it when I was in the capital, but I didn't get any information. It may be a subordinate of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. In the guard post or in the army." Chen Xiuyan said nicely.

Chen Mugui showed a smile when he heard the words, "I'm causing you trouble."

Chen Xiuyan glared at Chen Mugui, "Although I haven't met my uncle, he is also my dear uncle. If my second brother says that, he will be offended, and I don't agree."

Chen Mugui blushed slightly in embarrassment.

"Xiuyan, your second brother just can't talk, don't be as knowledgeable as him." He smiled and took Chen Xiuyan's hand, and began to introduce this year's zongzi to her.

"I made sausage-flavored rice dumplings this year. I saw that you like sausage very much. I tasted one when I wrapped it and cooked it yesterday. It tasted very good."

"I also made sesame and bean paste. I saw that you like these two flavors of mooncakes and steamed buns. I made these two flavors for the sweet ones."

"The salty ones also include diced chicken and pork belly..." He talked about his cooking skills endlessly.

"By the way, grandpa's family also entrusted us to bring them." He pointed to a box and said, "But it's not rice dumplings. It contains realgar wine brewed by grandpa's family himself, as well as medicine sachets to repel insects and snakes, and These days, some uncles brought back some gadgets when they went out."

Chen Mugui and He Shi sent things, and they went back after sitting for half an hour. Chen Xiuyan loaded them with a donkey cart and took them away. They were all gifts in return, and there were some things that were not easy to take to Taiyuan Mansion after they were packed. .

On the first day of June, Luo Mingqing and Zhu Shanfang packed their bags and set off for Taiyuan Mansion. Luo Wenqian asked one of the hidden guards to go with them.

Speaking of the dark guard, since they came to Luojiatang, whenever they were at home, both of them showed up, and only when they went out, they would stay in the dark. Although the dark guard didn't talk much, they got acquainted with each other during these days .

The one who went with him was a secret guard named Wei Shishi. He had a very ordinary appearance, the kind that would be inconspicuous in the crowd, but his skills were really good. With him going with him, Luo Wenqian and the others could rest assured.

Chen Xiuyan asked Luo Mingqing to bring 5000 taels, he and Zhu Shanfang put half of it together, and also prepared 50 taels for loose silver, which can be spent on the way.

In May, they bought three horses. In order to allow them to travel, Wei Shishi didn't need to learn how to ride a horse. Zhu Shanfang knew how to ride a horse when he was an official in the county government.

Three people and three riders set off lightly.

In the middle of June, Chen Xiuyan went to Chenjia Village, mainly to say goodbye. Chen Dazhong and his son will go to Taiyuan Mansion to deliver food, but it is uncertain when the rest of the family will see each other again, and Chen Xiuyan really wants to see. The handsome appearance of the father and son covered by beards did not disappoint, they are definitely handsome.

Before leaving, Chen Xiuyan also received a special gift from Wen Niang of Hongyue Tower, but she has already left her citizenship, and was favored by an adult and accepted as a concubine, and she will go to the capital soon.
