Zhutian: I have been happy to be a father since I was a child.

The twelfth lunar month.

The first moment of Youchu.

The wind and snow stopped for a while.

Deputy Commander Chen of the Xicheng Military and Horse Division did not have to socialize tonight, so after get off work, he put on a Fan Yangli and rode home.

These days, when men go out, they often wear a hat.

Aristocratic women also need to take care of their hair meticulously. They will not have disheveled hair and plain clothes like in costume dramas, as if they are attending a funeral.

In addition to official hats, Chen Tao loves to wear Fan Yangli in the same style as King Chuang.

The shape of this hat is quite in line with his aesthetics, and after wearing it, he always feels mysteriously blessed, as if raising his arms and shouting can make all the people follow him and follow him to do some big things.

The weather is freezing.

Chen Tao's physique was basically invulnerable to cold and heat at this time, but he still wore a black bear skin cloak. In addition, he weighed a hundred kilograms and had a majestic body of over 1.9 meters, which attracted everyone on the street. Pedestrians’ attention.

Just looking at his size, no thieves would dare to take a chance on him, not to mention that he is the officer who catches thieves.

Chen Tao drove Chi Ji, who constantly sprayed white air from his nose, and walked for about a mile before someone stopped him.

This person is not named Wu. He does not have a brother who hunts tigers, nor does he have a beautiful wife named Pan at home, but he is doing the same business:

"Uncle, warm pancakes!"

Chen Tao did not dismount: "Give me a taste first!"

The middle-aged man's face suddenly showed a look of joy. He quickly took out a sesame seed cake from the box and handed it to Chen Tao with both hands respectfully.

Chen Tao was not afraid of poisoning, so he immediately took a big bite, chewed it, nodded and praised while eating:

"The heat is quite good, but the taste is a bit dull. I would prefer it if it can be filled with lard and shredded white radish."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, uncle."

Chen Tao stuffed the leftover cake into Chi Ji's mouth, then took out a tael of silver from his inner pocket, handed it to the man and said:

"Give me ten more cakes and you won't have to change the change."

It's not enough for the horse to just eat grass. It has to eat beans or eggs.

Just like the fine cars of later generations, they also need high-quality oil.

The middle-aged man was very happy. He immediately took fifteen pieces of cake, wrapped them carefully, and handed them to Chen Tao respectfully.

One tael of silver is a lot!

In Water Margin, Wu used one tael of silver to buy a bottle of wine, twenty kilograms of raw and cooked beef and two chickens.

After Chen Tao took the sesame cake, he ignored the middle-aged man's gratitude and continued to ride forward.

Not long after walking, a man caught up with him on horseback, and then walked side by side with him without saying a word.

Obviously I have something to see Chen Tao.

But since he didn't speak, Chen Tao ignored him and just shared the sesame cakes with his beloved horse Chiji.

Finally, Gu Tingye, who had a stern appearance and could have been a domineering president in a modern urban drama, asked stiffly:

"I can't figure out why Sheng Minglan would be willing to marry you as a concubine?"

Chen Tao said strangely: "I thought that Governor Gu came here to give advice on something important, but I didn't expect that it was just for a woman."

Gu Er explained: "The Sheng family was robbed when they came to Beijing. I happened to be able to help their family escape the danger, so I developed a little friendship with Miss Sheng Liu. I don't think she is willing to be a concubine, and neither are the Sheng sisters. So friendly, is there something inside? I hope Brother Liang can tell me the truth."

Chen Tao did not answer but asked: "Does the Governor like Minglan?"

Gu Er shook his head: "I don't like women who are willing to be concubines. It's just because I have an old relationship and I can't help but care about it, so I'm a little curious."

Chen Tao asked again: "The governor is a well-informed person. What do you think of the Sheng family's family tradition?"

Gu Er pondered: "The Sheng family is the home of poetry and calligraphy. Sheng Hong himself is also a well-known good official. It is said that the family is rigorous and the family tradition is naturally good."

Chen Tao smiled and said: "I also heard that the governor, like me, is a dissolute young man who likes to hang out in flowers. But now he seems to be quite infatuated with Minglan. Obviously it is not as bad as the legend says, but because of some villain's intentions. Sinister, deliberately smearing your reputation outside."

Gu Er snorted: "We are both military attachés, so we don't have to imitate those literati in playing martial arts, right? I just want to know what's going on with your two families to clear up the confusion in my mind. Why bother talking about this?"

Chen Tao took out another piece of cake and handed it to Chi Ji, who hadn't eaten enough. He said to Gu Er, "I'm not rambling here and there. I've already said everything that needs to be said."

After saying that, he showed the red rope on his wrist: "Minglan gave it to me and forced me to wear it all the time."

Gu Er took a second look and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his vision.

First it was that Mannia, then his first wife Yu Yanhong, and now it was Miss Sheng Liu from the Sheng family. Every one of them was beyond his expectation.

Although he played a lot, he still didn't understand women.

He sighed, and then extended an invitation to Chen Tao:

"Come to my house and drink!"

Chen Tao was like an impatient Cao thief after entering the city, and said, "Is there any singing girl in Brother Gu's house?"

There are no women at night. What’s the point of just drinking with grown men?

Damn it, there’s no woman to co-write with, so why don’t you accept the invitation? Your father and your eldest brother don’t dare not give me face!

Gu Er was speechless, but after all, he had not caught Minglan's charming aura, and he and Chen Tao were in the same boat, so he suggested:

"I'll ask someone to go to the brothel to invite you. Do you have a crush?"

The next morning.

Gu Er, who failed miserably in a certain skill competition, invited his newly recognized brother Chen to have morning tea, completely unaware that this brother had wanted to have sex with him.

In fact, Chen Tao is of great peer value.

It's normal for Gu Er to want to win over him.

After all, the last coup involved the participation of the Military and Horse Division.

That night.

Chen Tao did not go to Gu Er's Governor's Mansion to enjoy the singing and dancing, but went home to be with his wives.

The first thing is to see Chun Ge.

Liang Wei was born not long ago and was in the lethargic stage at this time, with a cute sleeping appearance.

Since the girl was born, Chen Tao has been spending the night in Chun Ge's house, showing by his actions that he also likes his daughter.

In this way, Chun Ge, who originally didn't like the daughter very much, couldn't help but become very interested in the girl and raised her herself at Chen Tao's suggestion.

Mo Lan was a little strange.

Minglan was not surprised.

Jia Baoyu!

When you see a woman, you feel refreshed, but when you see a man, you feel dirty. It is perfectly normal to like a daughter.

But no matter how much Chen Tao likes her, Minglan doesn't want a daughter, she wants a son.

After Chen Tao took off his coat and walked to sit next to Chun Ge, Minglan's maid Dan Ju came with a food box.

Minglan's hobby is fishing, and one of her specialty dishes is making fish soup. However, the fish soup in the food box is not made by herself, but by her instructions to the cook. She said that since Aunt Chunge has to feed her daughter herself, she should Drink more fish soup tonic.

This approach undoubtedly made everyone praise her.

Not to be outdone, Mo Lan also asked someone to make mutton soup and give it to Chun Ge.

Who doesn’t know how to roll?

But this is painful for Chun Ge.

One fishy and the other smelly, she doesn’t like eating these!

Chen Tao took a big sip of soup, smiled and said to Danju: "Tell Minglan that I will go find her in the evening."

Danju smiled and responded.

She and Xiao Tao, who was also named after a fruit, were the two maids Ming Lan valued most.

The scholar's daughter Ruomei, who was very ambitious and did not want to be a concubine, and the colorful ring with apricot face and peach cheeks given by Wang, were both beautiful and were not liked by Minglan.

Why?

Everyone understands it.

After Dan Ju left the house, Chun Ge coquettishly said, "Good brother, can you stay with me tonight?"

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

Chen Tao educated: "Is this fish soup for nothing? No matter how much I love you, I must not be too partial. Otherwise, no one dares to say anything about me, but they will definitely talk about you badly. Don't think that Your cousin can help you, no matter how fierce she is, she can't outdo my mother."

Haruge said in frustration: "I also want to please my wife, but after all, I am the person assigned to you by my cousin. I contradicted you like that before and even threatened to death. How can I get her forgiveness and love?"

Chen Tao comforted him: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so take your time! As long as you have the same heart as me, she will change your mind one day."

Haruge said seriously: "I am definitely of the same mind as you. You have always been the only one in my heart."

He took Chen Tao's hand again and said with some shame:

"I actually know that my cousin has bad intentions, and I didn't lie to you. I really like you and want to be with you, so I went along with her. Don't be angry with me."

Chen Tao joked: "Not only am I not angry with you, but I'm not very angry with your good cousin. After all, if she wasn't so smart, how could I get her lovely cousin?"

Chun Ge said happily: "Brother, let me give you a hug!"

at night.

Since he hadn't been here for a few days, Chen Tao naturally took care of things with Minglan first.

It was not until early in the morning that Minglan cheered up and asked:

"You didn't go home last night. Where did you go to socialize?"

Chen Tao suppressed his laughter and asked, "Do you know Gu Tingye? I just went to his house to drink and enjoy singing and dancing. He is very popular now, and the emperor thinks highly of him. I can't refuse."

Minglan was startled and asked calmly: "I know him. When my family moved to the capital and we encountered bandits on the way, he was the one who saved me. In fact, I knew him earlier. Yu and I I have a good relationship with the eldest daughter of Mr. Ge's family, and he originally wanted to marry this sister, so we met. "

Chen Tao then asked: "Have you seen him since?"

Minglan didn't know what the two of them talked about last night, and she didn't dare to hide it. She said like pouring beans from a bamboo tube:

"I haven't seen him since, but he sent someone to ask about my marriage before, saying that he was attracted to me and wanted to marry me. Of course I didn't agree."

Chen Tao sighed softly: "A high-ranking official of the imperial court, the second son of Ningyuan Houfu whose eldest brother is seriously ill and has no children. It would be much better for you to marry him than to marry me! If you had said it earlier, I would definitely make it happen for you. What a pity." ah!"

After hearing what he said, Minglan naturally felt regretful.

And the more he regretted it, the more he felt that Gu Tingye was stupid.

Since you like her, why didn't you propose marriage earlier? Now that she was married into the Liang family and became a concubine, she had to start the annoying house fighting mode.

Of course, no matter how much you regret it, it won't help now. We can only focus on the present and strive to live a better life.

So she hugged Chen Tao tightly and confessed affectionately:

"What do you mean by fulfilling me? I don't want to marry him! I only love you and want to stay with you forever and never be separated."

Chen Tao pretended to be moved: "Sixth sister, you are so affectionate. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay you in this life."

As soon as Minglan heard this, she turned over and sat on his waist, saying Shaohua:

"How can I not repay you? My husband often comes to accompany me and makes me happy. Isn't that a reward?"

Chen Tao pulled her and laughed, "What a little whore!"

Minglan was not annoyed. After all, she had a strong ability to accept things. She would be submissive in front of a strong man, so she echoed:

"Dear father, you have a good eye. Ming'er is a whore who can't do without a man. I hope you will have pity on me and leave everything to me. Don't waste it in vain."

Isn't it just a fight for favor? Who doesn't have this ability?

As long as you lower your posture, how can you not control a man?

Sure enough, Brother Tao couldn't resist and was confused by her again. He made a fuss for a while, and didn't take any measures.

The next morning.

Although he had reached the maximum level and didn't need to go to the snow-covered garden for morning exercises, Chen Tao still got up early and went to Molan's room in the main house diagonally opposite.

Molan hadn't woken up yet, so Chen Tao didn't disturb her. After all, the girl must have been pregnant at this time. In fact, even Minglan was probably pregnant.

Chen Tao told Lu Zhong to go to the kitchen to add two dishes, and then walked to the west ear room on the broken snow.

Yuanyuan is not a concubine, but she has been treated like a concubine. Not only can she live alone in this small house, but there are also two maids to take care of her daily life!

She hasn't woken up yet.

Chen Tao sat by the bed, gently pinching her nose until she opened her eyes with some morning grumpiness, and scolded:

"It's so annoying! It's so cold, let me sleep a little longer!"

Whenever the weather is bad, Chen Tao will not let her accompany him to work, so as to prevent this unenhanced time-traveling girl from leaving the stage early because of a mere cold.

Chen Tao snorted: "The master has already gotten up, and the maid is still sleeping? Only the concubine can sleep more, do you want to be a concubine?"

"I don't want to be a concubine! I won't get up either!"

After that, Yuanyuan hid in the quilt and didn't come out, as if she regarded the quilt as her tortoise shell.

Chen Tao smiled and punched her twice on the buttocks, then said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter if you can't get up! Anyway, there's no portion for you in the delicious dishes I ordered the kitchen to make."

When Yuanyuan the little turtle heard this, he immediately stuck his head out and asked, "Good brother~ Is it too late to regret now?"

The girl's round face is developing into a vixen's melon-seed face.

Her height is also growing very fast.

After all, she is not the Tianshan Tonglao who has problems with her practice. With sufficient nutrition and exercise, she will naturally grow wildly during this rapid growth period.

"Of course it's too late, unless you help me massage my shoulders."

As he said, Chen Tao lay down beside this time-traveling girl.

For a rich breakfast, Yuanyuan had to wrap herself in a fox fur coat, turned over and sat on his lower back, serving him like a hard-working worker.

Clothes are very expensive these days. In some novels nowadays, the protagonists have to take off their clothes before fighting to avoid tearing them.

These furs, as well as Chen Tao's bear fur coat, were among the New Year gifts sent to the mansion by Madam Liang's brother, who was an official in the north.

Madam Liang liked Yuanyuan, so she had this coat made for her. She also gave her a lot of clothes and jewelry. (End of this chapter)
