The Three Spirit Stones

As the twelfth lunar month approaches, every household in Bianjing City is preparing for the New Year, and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion is no exception.

This year is the first year since Cheng Yu came back, and he was promoted to a higher position, which can be said to be a double happiness!

Cheng Sanbao was directing the servants to wipe the new plaque on the door when a carriage came and stopped at the door.

First, three maids and servants got off the car, one of them holding a purebred Pekingese dog, and the other two helped a young girl with a beautiful face, who was wearing a green shirt, a white fox fur cape, and pearls on her head, to get off the car!

"Uncle Sanbao,"

The girl called out in a clear voice.

Cheng Sanbao heard the sound and turned his head to take a closer look.

"Oh! It's my cousin!"

This girl is Cao Wei’s daughter Cao Qian. Cao Wei’s wife, Lady Wuxing Shen, gave birth to three sons before giving birth to this daughter. Having a daughter in middle age, he naturally doted on her!

"Miss cousin, when did you come to Beijing? Why are you here alone? Where are my uncle and his wife?"

"My mother and I are going to Beijing first. My father has something to deal with and will be late. My mother has to go home to pack up. I miss my aunt so I came here first."

Cheng Sanbao heard this and said happily, "Oh! Miss cousin, you are so thoughtful! Come in quickly... Ah Sheng, pull the carriage to the stable."

After that, he led Cao Qian to see Madam Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng was in the Buddhist temple. When she saw her niece coming, she happily held her hand and asked about her well-being! Cao Qian asked about Cheng Yu, and she said that he had gone to the Agricultural Persuasion Department and would not be back until the afternoon.

……

……

In the yard, Ah Cai looked for the cat everywhere.

"Where are you, Fugui? Mom can't find you!"

"Wealth~~"

If it wasn't in the yard, it might be outside. The group kept searching the garden until they heard a "meow" sound from a big tree.

Ah Cai looked up in surprise and saw Cheng Fugui lying on a tree branch. She stretched out her hand and called the cat.

"Fugui, why are you up there? Mom has been looking for you for a long time! Come down quickly!"

"Haha! Someone actually adopted a cat as a son? How funny! Hahaha..."

Not far away, there was a sound of silver bell-like laughter. Ah Cai looked over and saw a girl in green standing there, with a few maids and a Pekingese dog beside her.

When the Pekingese dog saw the cat on the tree, it kept barking. Fugui, the timid cat, was scared and meowed loudly.

见到自己的爱猫被狗欺负，阿彩生气地指着那条京巴说，”放狗不牵绳？你立刻把狗绑住，不然我揍扁它！”

The girl was Cao Qian. After chatting with Mrs. Cheng for a while, she went to the garden to walk the dog. The dog would definitely chase a cat when it saw one, and then it chased Fugui up a tree.

She didn't know Ah Cai. She saw that she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a thick, slightly bloated and strange dress. The top had a button in the middle and was relatively short. She wore long pants and had no jewelry on her head or body. She thought she was a maid from the Cheng family.

She saw that she dared to point at her and talk to her, and even said she wanted to beat her dog?

How could this be possible! I am the daughter of the Cao family, and how dare a little maid be so bold?

Cao Qian also stood with her hands on her hips, glared at Ah Cai and cursed,

"You dare? If you dare to touch my white tiger, I will beat you to death."

……

The servants were cleaning when they suddenly heard a series of dogs barking from the garden, followed by a mess of women screaming and swearing!

When everyone heard the noise, they looked over and saw the young lady holding a stick and chasing a dog, beating it non-stop.

My cousin was supported by several maids, who were chasing and scolding her.

"White Tiger, my white tiger, you are not allowed to hit my white tiger,"

"You are so bold, you little girl! I will ask my aunt to sell you out!"

Mrs. Cheng came out when she heard the noise. When Cao Qian saw her, she called out to her aunt.

"What's the matter, Qianqian?"

"Aunt, aunt, that damn girl hit my white tiger, she hit my white tiger!"

Cao Qian pointed at Ah Cai, who was running out of breath from chasing the dog, and complained angrily,

When Mrs. Cheng saw this, she hurriedly called Ah Cai to stop her.

"Acai, Acai, what are you doing?"

Ah Cai looked over when she heard the shouting and saw that it was her mother calling her. Then she dragged her stick to Madam Cheng and pointed at Cao Qian and said, "Her dog chased and bit my Fugui, so why don't I beat it?"

Mrs. Cheng understood and said to Cao Qian, "Qian Qian! Why did you let the dog bite her cat?"

"Aunt, I didn't let it go. The white tiger saw the cat and chased after it," Cao Qian defended.

"A dog will chase a cat if it sees one. Is it reasonable for you to walk your dog without a leash?"

"Why am I walking my dog ​​on a leash at my aunt's house? Who are you? How dare you!"

"Haha! Who am I? How dare you ask? This is my home!"

"Your home? What do you mean your home? This is my aunt's cousin's home, you damned girl, I'll let my aunt sell you out!"

"Sell me? Who the hell do you think you are? Do you dare to touch me?"

The two girls were arguing so fiercely that no one else could get a word in!

At this time, a male voice sounded.

"...Caibao, what are you doing?"

Cheng Yu and Sun Yuechan are back!

"cousin!!!"

When Cao Qian saw Cheng Yu, she screamed and rushed over.

Cheng Yu looked carefully. Wasn't this his cousin Cao Qian? Cao Qian had always been very close to him in the northwest, so he was very familiar with her. Although it was a thousand years since we last met, he still recognized her at a glance. He shouted in surprise, "Qian Qian?!!!"

"Cousin! It's so good to see you. You're still alive. You don't know how much my heart aches when I think of you these past few years! When dad told me you were still alive, you don't know how happy I was!"

Cao Qian held Cheng Yu's hand, and was so excited that tears were about to flow out.

Cheng Yu was also very happy to see her. He had always regarded Cao Qian as his own sister. After such a long time, it felt good to see his relatives again. He also grabbed her hand and said, "Qianqian, I'm fine. I'm really sorry for making you worry!"

However, Acai was angry!

Where did this woman come from? She let the dog bite my cat and took advantage of my husband.

I can tolerate my aunt, but I can’t tolerate my uncle!

She threw the stick away, walked over, snapped open their hands, and shouted to Cao Qian,

"Men and women should not touch each other, and seven-year-olds should not sit together. There are differences between men and women. Don't you know that?"

Then he pointed at Cheng Yu and shouted, "Cousin! Why are you calling each other so affectionately? Are you blind? Can't you see your wife standing here? How dare you hold another woman's hand?"

Cheng Yu was stunned. He had never seen Ah Cai like this before. He asked blankly, "What are you doing?"

Ah Cai pointed at her nose and said bitterly, "I'm jealous. Can't you see that?"

"I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I have to say it three times because it's important!"

Everyone looked at her blankly. How could she express her jealousy so openly?

After realizing what was happening, Cheng Yu burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Baby, how can you be so cute? Hahaha! You are jealous!!!"

"Hahaha……"

He held her face in his hands and laughed until tears were about to come out. He said, "Are you jealous? Let your husband see how you are jealous."

Ah Cai opened his hand and said seriously, "Don't be so playful to me. My jealousy is a serious matter. I will run away from home. I will only take the wealth with me. I will never come back."

Cheng Yu suppressed his laughter, held her in his arms and coaxed her softly.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Qianqian is just my cousin. I will keep my distance from her, you little jealous person!"

Ah Cai rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice,

"Tsk! I was your daughter before! Now I am still being slept with by you. Won't the roles be reversed?"

"Oh my! What are you thinking? I can't do anything about you!"

Cheng Yu was so amused by what she said that he pinched her nose lovingly.

Cao Qian was stunned watching from the side. She pointed at Ah Cai and said to Cheng Yu in disbelief, "Cousin...she, she is your wife?!"

"How dare you marry such an arrogant and domineering woman?"

Cheng Yu was a little unhappy when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Ah Cai said, "Which eye of yours saw me being arrogant and domineering? I always convince people with reason!"

"Does arrogance have anything to do with me?"

"I am beautiful and intelligent. This is not what I said. It was said by Mr. Ding Wei. Do you understand what beautiful and intelligent means? It means virtuous!!!"

Everyone, including Mrs. Cheng Sun Yuechan, looked at her with strange expressions.

Does virtuousness have anything to do with you, Cheng Acai?

Even Cheng Yu couldn't save his face!

Ding Wei was just being polite, but you really want to use this word to describe yourself? I have to tell you what this word means!

Thinking of this, he said to Cao Qian, "Qian Qian, go to mom's place first, and we'll talk after dinner!"

After saying that, he took her and left!

Ah Cai returned to the yard and kept scolding the cat.

"Fugui, why are you such a coward? You have powerful claws, why don't you use your strengths?"

"Meow~"

"That dog isn't that big, how come you can't beat it? You are a cat, and cats have a natural advantage over canines of the same size."

"Meow~"

"In the end, you are just a coward and have no courage. Look at your father's martial arts skills. People say that a good father will have a good son. How come you can't even beat a little Pekingese?"

Cheng Yu's mouth twitched as he listened!

I thought to myself, I’m not its father, and my species wouldn’t mutate to this extent!

……

At dinner time, there was a large table filled with dishes in the side hall, which was a welcome party for Cao Qian!

In order to ease the feud between the two girls, everyone tried to persuade them for a long time, and now everyone can finally sit down and eat in peace.

A plate of crystal chicken was served. This was a new dish in Bianjing City. The meat was fresh, fragrant and tender.

Suddenly, two pairs of chopsticks poked at a chicken leg at the same time. Acai and Cao Qian's eyes met, and sparks immediately burst out in the air!

"I picked this up first,"

"Which eye saw you pinch it first? It was obviously me who pinched it first!"

"I'll go first,"

"I'll go first,"

Mrs. Cheng couldn't bear to watch it anymore and said, "Don't they have two legs? Can't we just use one for each of us?"

"No, this is the right leg, it kicks more, the meat is firmer!" Ah Cai said.

Cheng Yu knew she was talking nonsense and said, "Caibao, Qianqian is a guest, you have to give way to her!"

Cao Qian refused to give in and said, "That's right! Today is my welcoming party, you are shameless to compete with me!"

"You're competing with me as a guest? You have no shame at all."

Just as the two girls were increasing their strength and looking determined to win, Ah Cai suddenly pulled out her chopsticks. Cao Qian was unable to stop in time and the chicken and the juice were all over her body.

“Ah~~,”

She uttered a scream.

“Hahaha!! I’ll give it to you now, hahaha…”

Ah Cai slapped the table and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

"Aunt, cousin! She did it on purpose!"

Cao Qian stamped her feet, pointed at her angrily and said loudly,

"You can see this?"

"I did do it on purpose, hahaha..."

He really deserves a beating!

Cao Qian was so angry that her finger was shaking as she pointed at her, and then she burst into tears.

Mrs. Cheng quickly asked Sun Yuechan to take the crying Cao Qian to change her clothes. When she sat down, she glanced at her.

She looked like she had succeeded in her evil plan. She lowered her head and picked up the rice in her bowl with a wicked smile. When she saw Madam Cheng looking at her, she picked up another chicken leg and put it in her bowl, saying, "Mother, eat this. This is the left leg. It's more tender!"

Mrs. Cheng was so annoyed by these two guys today that she couldn't even complain. She just managed to force herself to say "good boy"!

She looked at her husband next to her. Cheng Yu had already put down his bowl and chopsticks and was looking at her without saying a word.

She felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, so she picked up a piece of asparagus and put it in his bowl, saying flatteringly, "Honey, eat it, it's very crispy!"

Cheng Yu uttered two words with a straight face.

"Bad guy,"

"Well, at most I won't tease her next time, don't be angry!"

She rubbed her head against his neck and acted like a spoiled child!

As soon as she acted coquettishly, Cheng Yu's heart could not be cruel. He put his arm around her shoulders and said earnestly, "Qianqian is my uncle's favorite daughter. You can't tease her too hard."

Ah Cai nodded vigorously and said, "I know. When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first."

Cheng Yu held his forehead and sighed, feeling extremely powerless!

At night, lying on the bed, Sun Yuechan couldn't help laughing when she thought of what Ah Cai had done during the day. She found that she was beginning to like her a little!

She will not be two-faced. Her hatred and love are all clearly shown on her face. She does not hide her dominance over her husband. He is my man, and I will not allow other women to have the slightest improper thoughts about him.

Love is selfish, isn't it supposed to be like this?

How many wives of wealthy families, even though they are obviously hating their husbands to the point of gnashing their teeth in hatred, still have to hold their noses and take concubines for their husbands, and even pretend to be a virtuous wife in front of their husbands. In comparison, she is much more real!

When she thought of how she had said today that she was jealous and virtuous, she couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking!
