Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

"The second son of the Chen family, Li Qiuci?"

The clerk in charge of household registration at the Linshui Yamen was stunned when he looked at the document in his hand.

"Mr. Chen, why is your son's last name Li? That's not right."

Chen Lang said, "Take my mother's surname."

The clerk was even more confused: "Mr. Chen, you are alive and well, why should your son take your mother's surname?"

Chen Lang said, "My wife and I are both very young, and we will have many children in the future. Giving one to my father-in-law's family to add to the family line should not violate the laws of Dayan."

The clerk scratched his head and said, "It's certainly not against the law, but it's not quite in line with common sense."

Chen Lang said: "I am doing this voluntarily, just register."

Seeing this, the clerk didn't say anything more. He nodded and registered the name in the yellow book.

"Mr. Chen, this is your household registration certificate. Please keep it safe." The clerk handed the stamped household registration document to Chen Lang.

When Chen Lang took it, he slipped a piece of silver into the clerk's hand.

The clerk smiled and immediately forgot about the fact that Chen Lang's son's surname was Li.

Chen Lang put away his son's household registration documents and took out a new application: "Please help me change my daughter's name as well."

The clerk took a look and said, "Chen Shuying? Your daughter's surname is Chen?"

"I like girls." Chen Lang said.

The clerk wondered, are all educated people so strange? The son who inherited the family line took his mother's surname, and the daughter who was destined to marry took his own surname.

But since you are taking money to help someone get rid of disaster and have accepted benefits from Chen Lang, there is no need to worry so much. With the help of a minor official, Chen Guoguo officially changed her name to Chen Shuying.

Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and faint fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk. Chen Lang likes this poem very much.

After completing the household registration for his children, Chen Lang handed the household registration documents to the servant who accompanied him and asked him to take them home to his wife.

When Xiaoqi went on her honeymoon, Chen Lang temporarily assigned a servant from the family to accompany her. The servant cherished this opportunity very much. Although he knew that he was destined to be "unemployed" after the housekeeper Xiaoqi came back, being able to become familiar to the young master would be of great benefit to his future development.

After the servants left, Chen Lang came to Guhong Tower alone.

The storyteller Tian Yuzhu is on the first floor, while Xie Qinghuan and Pang Qiuyan are performing in the members' area on the second floor.

Chen Lang came to his own private box and asked the waiter in the store to greet Xie Qinghuan and ask her to come to him after her performance.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Qinghuan and Pang Qiuyan came to Chen Lang's box.

Pang Qiuyan sat next to Chen Lang without any regard for gender differences, then picked up the teapot on the table and started drinking directly from it.

Xie Qinghuan was helpless and said, "Qiuyan, your manners."

Pang Qiuyan said nonchalantly, "You still have the demeanor of an egg in front of him."

Chen Lang smiled, knowing that Pang Qiuyan was referring to the time when she used him as a shield and took the initiative to let him take advantage of her.

"Thank you, Miss. You've worked hard on the performance. Please take a seat."

Xie Qinghuan sat down gracefully and said, "Master Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Lang said, "It's not a big deal. My brother-in-law's toy store is opening in seven days, and I'd like to trouble you and Qiuyan to be the guests of honor at the opening ceremony."

Pang Qiuyan asked, "Opening guest? What for?"

"It's just singing and dancing." Chen Lang said, "Don't worry, your work won't be in vain. I will pay you according to the highest standard."

Xie Qinghuan said, "Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? Qiuyan and I are both contracted spokespeople. It's only natural for us to do things for you."

Chen Lang said, "That's different. My brother-in-law's toy shop belongs to another business and has nothing to do with Qiu Yi Nong and Hong Yan Zui."

"Your performance is just a side gig."

Pang Qiuyan frowned and said, "Moonlighting? I've never heard of it."

Chen Lang said: "To put it simply, other shops pay you to perform."

"Although the owner of the toy store is my brother-in-law, he is not part of our system."

Xie Qinghuan said, "Mr. Chen, I'm happy to perform, but I won't charge you."

Chen Lang shook his head: "No, it's business as usual."

Xie Qinghuan was about to speak when Pang Qiuyan spoke before her: "Sister, I think what Mr. Chen said makes sense. Let's put it this way!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Miss Qiuyan is the one who thinks things through."

"It's settled then. We'll be waiting for you two beauties at Jiqing Street in seven days."

After Chen Lang left, Xie Qinghuan looked at Pang Qiuyan and said unhappily, "Why do you have to accept this money? Isn't the money you earn now enough for you?"

Pang Qiuyan said with emotion: "Sister Qinghuan, I'm doing this for your own good."

"You can't sink any further, or else in this life..."

Xie Qinghuan glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Pang Qiuyan said, "Sister Qinghuan, you know about the Red Lotus Cult causing trouble in Jinyanggang a while ago."

Xie Qinghuan said: "I know, what's wrong?"

"Do you know who the Red Lotus Cult is targeting? Xu Mengru." Pang Qiuyan said, "Chen Lang dispatched the Dingbian Army to rescue Xu Mengru."

Xie Qinghuan was a little impatient and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I want to say, with Li Xiuzhi and Xu Mengru, how can you compare?"

"Even if Chen Lang really marries you, you'll only be a concubine. You'll never be able to compare to these two women. When the day comes that Chen Lang loses interest in you, you'll have to spend the rest of your life alone." Pang Qiuyan said, "From now on, your interactions with Chen Lang will be business as usual. No more of those things..."

Xie Qinghuan took a deep breath: "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."

"Sister Qinghuan..."

"I told you to stop talking."

Xie Qinghuan bit her lip and said, "Qiuyan, thank you for thinking of me, but this is my life. I have no regrets about any decision I make or the consequences I have to bear."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Pang Qiuyan sighed deeply.

I used to think Sister Qinghuan was crazy, but now it seems that she is not just crazy, but insane.

……

Liaobei.

The sky was dark, the wind and snow were continuous, and in the bad weather where visibility was less than ten feet, some discordant sounds were faintly heard.

A moment later, a Jurchen man wearing a thick fur coat and a thick felt hat appeared in the wind and snow.

With the help of the wind and snow, the Jurchen man hid his whereabouts very well. He moved forward little by little, trying to get closer to the Liao Kingdom's base camp "Daru Ancient City" in front.

Coming behind a large dark rock, the Jurchen man took off the wine jug from his waist, took a small sip, and then quickly put the jug away.

I don’t know how long I will have to wait in the wind and snow. If I wait too long, I will have to rely on this pot of wine to survive.

Fortunately, God did not make things too difficult for the Jurchen man this time. The wind and snow stopped after two hours.

Although the sky was still dark, visibility had improved a lot.

The Jurchen man cautiously poked half of his head out from behind the rock and looked towards the ancient city of Daru.

Seeing this, the body that had been frozen stiff by the wind and snow instantly softened.

The black in front formed a line.

And this black line is made up of Liao soldiers.

"It really is one hundred thousand Liao soldiers..."

"How can we fight this battle?"
