After the new year, the spring is warm, and the idle people who have been dormant for a winter all go out of their homes, carry bird cages, cricket pots, and find a familiar teahouse for a pot of good tea and listen to new things, not to mention how pleasant it is.

Yan Chengli had a lively and meaningful new year in Mu's family. Soon he would go to Fucheng to visit Lord Liu, the governor of Jiangcheng. Before he left, he asked Mu Chen to accompany him to visit Wuhu town.

Today's teahouse is still lively, but the topic is somewhat heavy.

"Well, man, did you hear that? On the new year's day, some pirates went ashore and robbed the salt fields on the South China Sea, and were driven away by general Zheng. General Zheng is really the patron saint of the people in the South China Sea A thin man in a long gown pulled a familiar friend and chatted excitedly.

The friend was obviously one who had nothing to do with his own affairs. He couldn't help saying, "the South China Sea is far away from us, and the pirates can't fight. What's the matter? Let's talk about the new issue issued by the central government. It's said that the Imperial Envoys will be sent to Jiangcheng to inspect the water conservancy situation nearby. Alas, those officials are not just making appearances. What can they really do for our people?

The thin man waved his hand and said anxiously, "brother, don't you understand? Those pirates want salt? How expensive is salt now? If the saltern is looted, how can we live in the future?

"Ransacking salt fields? Did the pirates succeed? "My friends are also a little nervous and reach out to grab his clothes.

"Of course not. It's general Zheng who guards the South China Sea. How could he allow those pirates to come ashore and be free?" The tall and thin man seemed to admire general Zheng very much, and his words were full of admiration.

Hmmm! "There was a scholar who snorted coldly," what nonsense general? But a shameless whore. "

"What do you say?" Thousands of thin men want to light the firecracker, suddenly exploded, with Wenxiu scholar more vigorously, "you poor scholar, why slander general Zheng?"

"If he is really open and aboveboard, no one will slander him. How can a dog official who robs people's women and cares for human life in vain? How can he be respected by others The scholar's words were very excited. It seemed that he had something wrong with general Zheng.

"You son of a bitch, you're talking nonsense." The skinny man stretched out his hand and grabbed his clothes. The two entangled and formed a ball.

Yan Chengli and Mu Chen were sitting at the table drinking tea. When they heard these words, they continued to drink tea without changing their faces, while the other showed a mysterious smile.

General Zheng was very popular with the people. "Yan Chengli held up the tea cup, and his deep eyes contained the emotion of being unable to see clearly.

Mu Chen didn't say anything. He just picked up the teacup and put it down. There was a crack on the outside of the original teacup.

Yan Chengli laughed more happily, and his eyes narrowed, "zi'an, please follow me to Fucheng.

Good. " Without hesitation, Mu Chen understood that from the moment he was framed and rebelled, he was tied to Yan Chengli. If Yan Chengli is in power, he will be good. If Yan Chengli loses power, not only will he suffer, but also his closest relatives will suffer.

With a satisfactory reply, Yan Chengli's smile could not stop completely.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems when we encounter pirates in the South China Sea salt field. "Mu Chen touched the quilt on the table. With a crack, the cup cracked and the tea seeped out. The waiter on the side came up to wipe it.

Yan Chengli got up with a smile and left the teahouse together.

"Whether it's war or conspiracy, some people will worry about it. We'll watch it carefully. Nanhai salt field is not easy to chew down. No matter how much the emperor dotes on the two daughters of the Zheng family, he will not give up his own land.

The streets of Wuhu town are very lively, with a strong sense of simplicity in all kinds of Hawking.

"I heard this is your wife's shop?" Yan Chengli stood in front of a stewed flavor shop, smelling the smell of stinky tofu floating out of it, and his eyebrows were not help wrinkling.

The business of Lo Wei Fang is very good. It can be said that it is full of people. During this period of Chinese new year, we didn't eat stinky and delicious stinky tofu. People who love this kind of food have long thought that they would rush to queue up as soon as they opened the door.

"If you like, you can go in and have a look.

"No. "It has nothing to do with preferences. It's a matter of image.

With a smile, Mu Chen led him to the ferry and told him about the intelligence he had collected here in the past two years.

"To Fucheng?" Shen Jingli is folding the little guy's clothes when he suddenly hears Mu Chen's words and looks up a little confused.

"Yes, go with the Lord.

"Do you plan to go back to Beijing?" Shen Jingli stopped and looked up at him. He had known that one day he thought he was ready. But when he heard him say that, he could not help getting nervous.

"I have to go back." He won't let himself be in a passive position forever. OK.

Kong erxu, who had been sleeping quietly, found that he had been ignored by his father. He suddenly woke up and tried to twist his small body to show his existence.

Shen Jingli looked down at him and immediately untied the cloth that wrapped the child. Unfortunately, before he had time to change the diaper, the child peed out. The boy's urine was not left, and it was all poured on his father's face.Shen Jingli looked at Mu Chen's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help laughing. The little guy spat two saliva bubbles and pedaled his hands and feet as if demonstrating with his father.

Mu Chen shook his face, picked him up and patted his little buttocks. The little guy laughed, and even kicked his hands and feet on Mu Chen's face. His thumb pressed his nose.

When Shen Jingli saw his father and son like this, he almost laughed. Fortunately, he still remembered that the child was young. He was afraid that he might be infected with wind and cold, so he quickly tidied up and covered the quilt for him.

Mu Chen took the opportunity to come over, was pushed out by Shen Jingli, "go away, you have a smell of urine Sao."

"It's our son's taste."

Shen Jingli laughed again. Mu Chen hugged him and looked down at his son, "are you afraid of going back to Beijing?

"What are you afraid of?" He looked back at him. His eyes were clear and aboveboard. He was ashamed. "You will always be by my side. What am I afraid of?

"I will." Shen Jingli turned and adjusted his clothes. "Don't worry, I can protect myself."

It's just a house fight. He's not a fragile person. He's not so easy to be defeated.

Mu Chen looked at him, his strong and considerate let him heartache, so for a moment, he almost blurted out, "who are you?"

As the night grew deeper, the family of three huddled on the shelf bed, listening to each other's breathing, and soon fell asleep.

In the morning of the next day, Shen Jingli told mammy Jin about his departure.

madam, I will follow you, and I will follow you wherever you go... " Shen Jingli is afraid of him.

Shen Jingli looked at him like this and couldn't help laughing. It was really a child's nature. "Madame, please let us follow you." Mother Jin bowed respectfully. She had a long-term view than Li Qi. She knew that Mu Chen's identity was not simple. She might encounter a lot of troubles in the future. But Shen Jingli is a good master. As long as you do your best, he will treat you well. Moreover, he is very protective. Their mother and son follow him, and they certainly don't have to worry about their future life.

"It is good that you will follow me." After getting along with each other for a long time, she was affectionate, and she knew the rules very well. She could always help him a lot.

Shen yue'er was completely stunned by the news. She looked at Shen Jingli at a loss and cried, "fourth brother, fourth brother, where are you going? Why are you leaving? Fourth brother

"if you stay here, I will leave you the house and have a shop for you, so that you can live a good life." Although he had no feelings for the Shen family and even hated the family, Shen Yueer was a good child. He knew that he didn't like the Shen family. He never mentioned anything about the Shen family in front of him. He always did things quietly.

Fourth brother, why do you have to leave? "Shen Yueer has never thought of leaving the town where she grew up. She is afraid to hold on to Shen Jingli.

She doesn't know how to choose? She wanted to follow Shen Jingli, but was afraid to leave the familiar place.

"Your brother-in-law is from the capital. Sooner or later he will go back.

She widened her eyes in shock and did not know how to speak. "You can think about it."

Sister in law Chen heard the news that Shen Jingli was going to leave, so she rushed over. "Xiao Shen, I heard you're leaving?

Before seeing anyone, she heard sister-in-law's anxious voice. Shen Jingli was watching her turn over on the Luohan bed. Recently, the little guy was very keen on this activity. She was so happy that she had to look at him all the time, for fear that he might accidentally turn out of bed.

Sister Chen's face eager to enter the door, followed by a small follower Xinmei.

"When are you going, Xiao Shen? Why didn't you tell your sister-in-law earlier? " As soon as sister-in-law Chen sat down, she took Shen Jingli and said.

"In two days."

Why is it so urgent? Is something going on? "Sister Chen is more anxious." if you said it earlier, I could prepare some things for you to use on the road

Chen's sister-in-law is really reluctant to give up Shen Jingli. During the year she got along with him, she really regarded him as her own brother. She was very sad to think that she would not see him in the future.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will take good care of myself. I will come back to see you when I have time."

Uncle Shen, can't I see you again? "Xinmei, with her watery eyes wide open, leaned against Shen Jingli," Uncle Shen, I will miss you and my brother. You must come back to see me.

Shen Jingli pinched the face of Xinmei, and her heart was warmed and opened. "I will miss you too."

"Sister in law is really reluctant to part with you..." Sister Chen wiped her tears and forced out a smile. "In the future, if Mu's family bullies you, you can come to your sister-in-law, and she will make the decision for you.

"Thank you, sister-in-law.

He took his sister-in-law to explain his shop in the town, the orchard in the village and the chicken farm. Shen Jingli almost shed tears.

After everything was arranged properly, the Mu Chen family went to Fucheng with Yan Chengli two days later.

Shen Yueer decided to stay after thinking about it. Shen Jingli gave her the house deed and a house lease of the town's bittersweet workshop, and gave her two acres of paddy field and three acres of dry land. Chen Jian, the eldest son of sister-in-law, left with them.
