cold hearted son-in-law

"Xiao Chuchu, Mrs. Hua's fifth invitation." Li Mo waved the red invitation with the golden lacquer peony on it, teasing with a smile.

Chu Yunxi didn't even raise his head in the kitchen, and continued to chop the radishes.

"Hey, little Chuchu, answer when you hear it! Is this polite, understand? Also, I want to eat meat, meat, not carrots." Li Mo stood outside the kitchen door, playing with the invitation card in his hand, shouted.

Chu Yunxi finally raised his head, bared his teeth, lit up the kitchen knife he was holding, and said with a ferocious face, "You call 'Xiao Chuchu' again, let alone radishes, you don't even have to eat."

"Then I'll go to Brother Xiao for an evaluation. Who promised to let me stay and board for three years until the next test? It's only been a few months now, and you've kicked me out? Don't tell me, these few I'll be your housekeeper and nursing home for you, and you won't even pay you a salary. It's too bullying!" Li Mo folded his arms and sneered, confident, he didn't look like he was being bullied.

"Who drove you away? I just told you not to call me 'Xiao Chuchu'. You can't call me by my name like before? Besides, who asked you to be the housekeeper?" Chu Yunxi squatted down on the stove to light a fire after chopping the radish.He turned back and said sadly: "Eating meat? You have degenerated like this! Li Mo, you are no longer the brother Li who has two steamed buns for me. How did your former lofty aspirations become the idleness you are now?" ?”

"Bah!" Li Mo's face turned red with anger, and he spat at her directly, "Don't act like this, you are depraved! Is it noble to eat radishes every day? And you say I'm idle? But I don’t even invite a servant girl, do you know that it takes me an hour to clean such a large yard every day, and I also have to feed the horses, carry water, chop firewood, I have never done these things at home!” Li Mo was furious Burning, he clenched his fist, took a deep breath before suppressing the impulse, and didn't go in to beat her.

"Oh, then you should take care of the laundry and cooking. I want to write novels to earn money, and time is tight. When I have money, I invite you to 'Tianranju' for dinner. Don't you always want to go?" Chu Yunxi said Fired up, and finished speaking casually.Pour some lard in the pot and pour in the chopped radish.

"You...you..." Li Mo outside the kitchen door pointed at the busy people inside.When Chu Yunxi finished frying the radishes and put them on a plate, he gritted his teeth like iron, and said, "I've never seen you so...such...a wimpy champion, eating radishes all day long!"

"Eating radishes is useless? Then those beggars on the street still don't have enough to eat." Chu Yunxi took two bowls of rice, put fried radishes and a plate of homemade sour cabbage together on a tray and brought them out.

Li Mo followed behind holding the invitation card and scolded: "You still compare with those beggars?!"

"Isn't it all the same? The emperor rewarded me with a house when he saw that my family was ruined and I had nowhere to go. But I was so poor that I couldn't even hire servants. Other people's salaries can support the family, but I deducted half of my salary to barely make ends meet. It’s okay to see the invitation cards for those officials who celebrate their birthdays and have children. If you accept a few more, I’m afraid you won’t be able to drink porridge.” Chu Yunxi said without turning his head, and walked directly to the one under the crape myrtle tree that was blooming just right in the courtyard. At the stone table.

Looking at the crape myrtle tree blooming brilliantly from a distance, the bright red crape myrtle petals fell to the ground, and there was a faint floral fragrance in the air.At this time, three people were sitting under the tree, enjoying the cool breeze.The slender figure in white clothes like snow is the gentle and refined Xiao Yichen.The one next to him is wearing a brocade suit, short and fat, full of pearls and jade, with an unstyled wine gourd hanging on his waist is the Shaoyin Shize of Jingzhao Mansion. He has round eyes and small curved eyebrows. It's either drinking or turning the wrench.The other is Song Qiwen, a Hanlin attendant, wearing a thin purple shirt, with loose and low hair, handsome features, clear outlines, and a suave manner. He is leaning against a tree and playing with a short xiao.

"What day is it today? Why are you all here?" Chu Yunxi smiled and put the tray on the table.He asked again: "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, I'll go and get some more."

"You just eat this?" Shi Ze said with a look of disgust, looked at Chu Yunxi and then at Li Mo who was silent.Li Mo had put the invitation into his arms and stood with arms folded.

"Well, I made it myself." After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, he motioned for Li Mo to sit down.

"This fried radish has been made for a month, and it has the level of a chef. Brother Xiao, do you want to try it?" Li Mo smiled lightly at Xiao Yichen who was sitting opposite Chu Yunxi.

"It's time now, are you going to have lunch?" Xiao Yichen looked at the two and asked in surprise.

"Hmph, a certain person sleeps every time he sleeps and only gets up at three o'clock in the morning. He eats breakfast and Chinese food together." Li Mo said angrily.

"Haha, it's a good thing we came late, otherwise not only would there be no answer, the door might not have been opened." Song Qiwen laughed and said.Both Xiao Yichen and Shi Ze nodded in agreement.

"Brother Chu, how long has it been? How many servants does this big Zhuangyuan mansion hire? Women do the laundry, cooking and tidying up the house. Do you understand that a gentleman is far away from the cook? There are only two of you in such a big house." The place is not popular at all. Today, Qiwen and I knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered. If Doctor Xiao Yu came to push the door open, we thought no one was at home. When we came in, we thought we had gone wrong. It’s an empty house! You tell my brother today whether it’s because you can’t recruit people or the recruiters are not good enough, why don’t you go to my place and pick a few people to come over for you to use first?” Shi Ze pretended to be earnest Said like an elder, but the expression on that naturally smiling face was incompatible with his words.

Chu Yunxi looked at the few people who were holding back their laughter, and replied cheerfully: "I didn't find any beautiful ones in your house? Besides, I'm poor, so it's okay to raise rabbits, but people don't care. If you really feel Just send me a few rabbits in this Fukong, I don’t have time to pull out the weeds in the yard. If you want small ones, choose a few more beautiful ones, and it’s good to put them in small clumps in the yard.”

"I'll give you a thousand, and you will raise and sell them, so that everyone in the world will know that they are the 'No. [-] Rabbit' raised by the No. laughed.

"One thousand is too much, others will say that I took bribes. And I'm planning to open a plot of land in the yard to grow vegetables." Chu Yunxi didn't smile, and seemed to be discussing a major matter in a formal manner.

"Yunxi, are you short of money?" Xiao Yichen looked at her. He was wearing a semi-new green robe, paired with a pair of blue satin gray-soled court boots, and his hair was tied with a white jade hairpin, making him look fresh and elegant.

"Just enough." Chu Yunxi didn't care, and peeled the fresh grapes they brought on the table.

"Come on, let's go out to eat first. It's rare to have time to get together today." Song Qiwen said, and secretly gave Shi Ze a wink when he wanted to say something.

"Yeah, don't tell me I'm still hungry, let's go, I invite you today!" Shi Ze stood up and said proudly.

"Go to Tianranju?" Chu Yunxi's eyes lit up.

"Okay, let's go." Shi Ze waved his hands boldly, calling for several people to march towards the 'Tianranju'.
