[R18] Erha and he’s white cat master – Chapter 20 of “Erha and He’s White Cat Master” [English]
byChapter 20 I’ll tell you a story (2)
Early the next morning, when the Chen family came back from visiting relatives, they saw that the orange tree in the yard had fallen down and the oranges were rolling all over the floor. There were not many other households around, only the Luo family and the others were close to each other. Thinking of how Luo Xianxian was greedy for oranges every day, the Chen family was immediately sure——
This orange must have been stolen by Luo Xianxian, the unfortunate kid!
Not only did he steal, but he also became jealous and cut down He’s orange tree!
The Chen family immediately went to complain to Luo Shusheng. Luo Shusheng could not bear such humiliation. He immediately called his daughter over and asked her angrily if she had stolen the oranges.
Luo Xianxian cried and said no.
Then he asked if it was she who chopped down the tree.
Luo Xianxian said no.
Ask her again if she ate an orange secretly.
Luo Xianxian couldn’t lie, so she had to say that she had eaten.
Before she could explain, her furious father ordered her to kneel down, and in front of the entire Chen family, he spanked her with a ruler. While spanking her, he said, “Raising a girl is not as good as a boy! How could you do such a sneaky thing at such a young age? It’s shameful! It’s a disgrace to your father! You will be punished with nothing to eat and face the wall for three days. You will reflect on it, repent and make a new start -”
“Dad, it’s not me! It’s really not me!”
“How dare you talk back!”
No one believed her. Although the Lower Cultivation Realm was in turmoil, Caidie Town was an exception. This town had always had simple folk customs and kept its doors open at night. They said that a madman covered in blood came running in the middle of the night?Who believes it?
Luo Xianxian’s little hands were beaten to pieces.
Everyone in the Chen family looked at her coldly, except for the eldest boy, who tugged at the corner of his mother’s clothes and seemed hesitant to speak.
He’s mother ignored him, and there was nothing he could do. His rather serious face was wrinkled, and he stood beside him unbearably, unwilling to look any further.
At night, Luo Xianxian didn’t dare to go back to her room and squatted under the eaves, standing pitifully.
She’s father is a scholar and can’t tolerate theft. He also has a sour smell and is very arrogant. He talks in vain and doesn’t listen to explanations.
Luo Xianxian, who had been hungry all day, felt dizzy. Suddenly someone called her in a low voice: “Sister of the Luo family.”
Luo Xianxian turned around and saw an upright head protruding from the edge of the earthen wall. It was Chen Bohuan, the eldest son of the Chen family, who was trying to intercede for her during the day.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Bohuan climbed over the earth wall in twos and twos, holding a hot steamed bun in his arms. Without any explanation, he stuffed it into her hand.
“I see you’ve been standing under this wall all day and haven’t eaten anything yet. I’ll give you a steamed bun and eat it quickly.”
“I…” Luo Xianxian is shy by nature. She has lived here for several months and has never said a few words to her neighbor’s brother. At this moment, she suddenly looked at he so close. She couldn’t help but take two steps back and her head hit the wall.But he still stuttered, “I can’t take it… dad won’t let me… he said…”
I was incoherent for a long time, unable to speak a complete sentence.
Chen Bohuan said: “Oh, your dad is always like this. Why do you care so much about him? You will get hungry if you are so hungry. Eat, or you will get cold if you don’t eat.”
The steamed buns were white and tender, crispy and steaming out.
Luo Xianxian stared down for a while, swallowing saliva in her throat.
Really hungry too.Regardless of whether he is a gentleman or not, she grabbed the steamed bun, lowered her head and started eating it, and in a short while she gnawed it all away.
After finishing chewing, she raised her round eyes and said her first complete sentence to Chen Bohuan: “I didn’t cut down the orange tree, and I didn’t want to steal it.”
Chen Bohuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled: “Yeah.”
“But they don’t believe me…” Under such non-contemptuous eyes, Luo Xianxian’s heart slowly opened up, her grievances melted out like ice and snow, she let out a loud cry, opened her mouth, wiped her tears, and burst into tears, “They don’t believe me… I didn’t steal… I didn’t steal…”
Chen Bohuan hurriedly patted her: “I know you didn’t steal it. Oh, you stand under the tree every day and look at it, but you have never picked up an orange. If you wanted to steal it, you would have done it long ago…”
“It’s not me! It’s not me!” She cried harder, with snot and tears streaming down her face.
Chen Bohuan patted her and said, “It’s not you, it’s not you.”
The two children became so familiar.
Later, there was a murder case in a neighboring village. It was said that a gangster covered in blood entered a house a few nights ago and wanted to borrow the house’s wing to sleep. When the male owner refused, the gangster stabbed the whole family to death. Then he slept leisurely in a house full of corpses, and then left during the next day.Just leave, and even smeared blood on the wall, and wrote a long article, writing down all the good things he had done, lest there be such a wicked person in the world.
This matter spread like wildfire immediately, and soon reached Caidie Town.A pair of times, it was the night Luo Xianxian said she met the “crazy big brother”.
Luo Shusheng and the Chen family were all speechless.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, the two families had frequent contacts.Seeing how adorable Luo Xianxian was, the Chen couple thought that given their family background, it would be difficult to find a better daughter-in-law, so they simply arranged a baby wedding for Chen Bohuan and Luo Xianxian, and waited until they were old enough to get married.
Luo Shusheng saw that his daughter and Chen Bohuan were childhood sweethearts, so he readily agreed.
As the days passed, if Shusheng Luo hadn’t loved elegance and tinkering with incense, Chen and Luo’s family would have lived their lives in poverty and tranquility, as originally expected.
But the bad thing is that Luo Shusheng accidentally mixed up “Baidie Fragrance Powder”.
Although the taste of this fragrant powder is nothing special and is not much different from the ordinary spices in town, it has an advantage that ordinary spices cannot achieve –
It lingers for a hundred days, and the aftertaste is endless.
The fragrance of Baidie Fragrance Powder lasts for a long time and the fragrance does not dissipate easily. It is just what ordinary people want at a high quality and low price.
Luo Shusheng “everything is of low quality, only reading is good”. Although he mixed the fragrant powder, he was unwilling to sell it, thinking that it “lost his own status”.
If he is not for sale, others will naturally care about him.
Mrs. Chen repeatedly tried to get Luo Shusheng to buy prescriptions and encouraged Luo Shusheng to open a shop, but she was rejected by the other party. After going back and forth, Mrs. Chen felt a little uneasy on her face and stopped mentioning the matter, but she kept it in her heart.
When Luo Xianxian reached the age of hairpin, the opportunity came.Luo Shusheng suffered from tuberculosis. He struggled for several days and died.As Luo Xianxian’s mother-in-law, although the daughter has not yet married, there is always a friendship, so she helps with the funeral arrangements and is busy with everything.
Luo Xianxian burst into tears with gratitude, but she didn’t know that Mrs. Chen had a hidden agenda and quietly took away the fragrant powder prescription while packing up Luo Shusheng’s belongings.
That night, Mrs. Chen, full of excitement, leaned over to read the recipe under a bean oil lamp.As a result, I just took one look and was dumbfounded.
Luo Shusheng’s handwriting was like dragons and phoenixes, and the cursive writing was called elegant and unrestrained. She stared at it for a long time, but she didn’t understand even a single word.
I had no choice but to quietly stuff the prescription back.
A few months later, when Luo Xianxian calmed down, she called the girl to her home for dinner, and during the chat she “accidentally” mentioned the fragrance of butterflies.
Luo Xianxian thought to herself that there was no use keeping this prescription at home. Her mother-in-law was so kind to her, so if she wanted it, just give it to her.
So I found my father’s relics, and helped Mrs. Chen identify the characters, and sorted out the precise formula bit by bit.
Mrs. Chen was overjoyed. After getting the prescription, she and her husband started planning to open a fragrant powder shop.
Of course, at that time, she was still very rare for this gentle and sensible daughter-in-law-to-be, and Luo Xianxian became more and more beautiful as she grew older. Although she came from an unfortunate family, her appearance was one of the best, and many young people in the town began to pay attention to her.
After a long night and many dreams, Mrs. Chen thought to herself that she should get rid of this matter quickly.
However, Luo Xianxian had just lost her father. According to the custom of Caidie Town, after the death of her parents, she would not marry for three years.
How could Mrs. Chen wait for three years? She racked her brains and came up with a way——
On this day, Luo Xianxian was braiding the little girl of the Chen family. This little daughter of the Chen family had a very good relationship with her. Sister Luo was taller than her, and her little tail seemed to be wrapped around her.
Mrs. Chen walked to the yard, called Luo Xianxian into the inner hall, and said to her: “Xianxian, you and Bo Huan’s childhood sweethearts have been engaged for a long time. Now that your father has passed away, it’s not easy for you to live alone. Originally, you should have married this year. But the three-year mourning rule here makes you too tired to get married. My aunt is thinking, if you wait three years, how old will you be?”
Luo Xianxian lowered her head and said nothing, but she was smart and dexterous, and she probably guessed what Mrs. Chen said next, so her cheeks turned slightly red.
Sure enough, Mrs. Chen went on to say:
“Living alone is hard and tiring. You see, if you don’t do this – you get married first, let’s close the door and worship each other, and keep quiet to outsiders. If others ask, you can just say that you are living with your aunt so that you can take care of her. This way you can complete Zhou Gong’s ceremony without being criticized by others, and it can also make your old father feel at ease. After the three years are up, we can hold a wedding for you two in a grand way, okay?”
She’s words sounded like she was thinking about Luo Xianxian. Luo Xianxian was a person with no bad intentions and didn’t think bad things about people at all, so she agreed.
Later, the Chen family made a fortune by selling Baidie Fragrance Powder. They moved out of the old house, bought a large piece of land in the town, repaired the house, and became a wealthy family.
Luo Xianxian has become a person who rarely appears among the many figures in the wealthy family.
People in the town thought that Luo Xianxian was only sheltered by Mrs. Chen’s kindness, so she lived in the Chen family. They did not know that she was married to Chen Bohuan.
Although she felt aggrieved in such a day, Luo Xianxian only thought that her mother-in-law was trying to avoid words and for her own good, so she had no complaints.In addition, Chen Bohuan is sincere to her, and the couple is living a happy and sweet life. They just wait for the three years to pass and everything will return to normal.
But Luo Xianxian didn’t wait for the day when the matchmaker got married.
The Chen family’s business is getting bigger and bigger, and Chen Bohuan is handsome. Not to mention Caidie Town, even the daughters of wealthy families in several surrounding towns have begun to have an eye on Mr. Chen.After going back and forth, Mrs. Chen’s mind became more active.
When she decided to get married, she was worried that she would not be able to get a good wife from a farming family, so she was anxious to tie up Luo Xianxian.
Who would have expected that in the reincarnation of heaven, the Chen family would also have a prosperous day. At this time, when she looked back at Luo Xianxian, she felt that this girl was not handsome enough, and her ideas were not smart enough. She was as stupid as her dead ghost father, and she didn’t like her no matter what.
She regrets it a bit.
The appearance of Yao Qianjin turned her “a little” into “ten”.
Yao Qianjin was the daughter of the county magistrate and loved military uniforms. One day she came back from hunting on a horse. She passed by a powder shop and selected several brands of powder. Unexpectedly, she did not choose the powder, but she caught a glimpse of the handsome young man who was busy in the hall.
That young master was none other than Luo Xianxian’s real-life husband, Chen Bohuan.
The author has something to say: Chu Wanning (serious face): This incident teaches us that private engagement is not advisable.Without a contract between the two parties, ending a relationship is often very casual and irresponsible.
Ink Feeding Fish (with an innocent face): Huh?It seems that someone visited me privately in the last few chapters, but I can’t remember clearly. Who is he?I originally wanted to be responsible for him, but since he doesn’t want to, forget it.(Smile)
