Chapter 20: This Seat Tells You a Story II

The next morning, when the Chen family returned from a visit to their relatives, they saw that the orange tree in their yard had fallen over and the oranges were rolling all over the ground, and there were not many other households around, only the Luo family was close to them.

This orange must have been stolen by Luo Xianxian, the unlucky boy.

Not only did he steal it, but he was jealous and cut down his orange tree

The Chen family immediately went to Luo Shusheng to tell him off, who could not bear such humiliation.

Luo Xianxian Crying is not.

Another question was asked if she had cut down the tree.

Luo Xianxian also says no.

Ask her again if she has stolen any oranges.

Luo Xianxian could not lie, so he had to say he ate it.

Before she could explain, her father, who was furious, ordered her to kneel down and, in front of the Chen family, gave her a severe beating with a ruler, saying: "A girl is not as good as a boy. "

"Daddy, it's not me it's really not me."

"Don't you dare talk back."

No one believes her. Lower Fairy World is a troubled place, but Butterfly Town is an exception.

Luo Xianxian A pair of small hands are beaten with skin and flesh.

Chen family The men looked on coldly, except for the oldest of them, the boy, who pulled at his mother's coat and looked like he wanted to say something.

His mother ignored him and there was nothing he could do about it, a rather circumspect little face scrunched up and standing by in disgust, unwilling to look any further.

At night, Luo Xianxian did not dare to go to his room, but crouched under the eaves and stood pathetically in punishment.

Her father was a scholar, the most intolerant of thefts, and smelled so sour and bull-headed that talking to him was futile and he would not listen to explanations.

Luo Xianxian was dizzy after a long day of hunger when someone suddenly whispered to her, "Sister Luo family."

Luo Xianxian looks back and sees a chiseled head poking out from the edge of the earthen wall, the eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Bohuan, who had tried to plead for her during the day.

Chen Bohuan, seeing that no one was around, went over the earthen wall in three or two tries, carrying a hot steamed bun in his arms, and shoved it into her hand without a word.

"I see you have been standing under the wall all day and you haven't eaten anything yet. Here's a steamed bun for you, eat it quickly."

"Luo Xianxian is shy by nature and has lived here for many months, but he has never spoken to his neighbour's brother, so when he suddenly looks at him so closely, he can't help but take two steps backwards and bang his head against the wall. But he still stumbled, "I can't take father won't let me he said".

Half incoherent, unable to say a complete word.

Chen Bohuan said, "Oh, your father is always talking about the same thing, why do you care so much about him? You will get hungry if you are so hungry, eat, it will be cold if you don't eat."

The bun was white and tender, hairy and pronounced, bubbling hot outwards.

Luo Xianxian stares down for a moment, gulping and swallowing in his throat.

She was also really hungry. She grabbed the steamed bun and ate it with a grunt, gnawing away at it.

After nibbling, she raised her round eyes to Chen Bohuan and her first full sentence was, "I didn't cut the orange tree and I didn't mean to steal it."

Chen Bohuan froze and slowly smiled, "Hmm."

"But they don't believe me", Luo Xianxian's heart slowly rubbed open and her grievances melted out like ice and snow, and she burst into tears with her mouth open. "

Chen Bohuan patted her with his hands and feet, "I know you didn't steal it, you stood under the tree every day and never took an orange, if you wanted to steal it, you would have done it already."

"No, I'm not, I'm not," she cried, snot and tears falling together.

Chen Bohuan then patted her, "It's not you, it's not you."

The two children just got to know each other so well.

Later, there was a murder case in a neighbouring village, saying that a bandit covered in blood had entered a family's house a few nights before and asked to sleep in the family's room. He even wrote a large article on the wall, stained with blood, about what he had done, as if he didn't want the world to know that there was such a villain.

The story immediately went viral, and word soon spread to Butterfly Town. It was the night Luo Xianxian said she had met her "crazy big brother".

Luo Shusheng and the Chen family were all speechless.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the two families began to see each other more frequently. The Chen family saw that Luo Xianxian was a lovely young beauty, hard-working and understanding, so they thought that it would be difficult for them to find a better daughter-in-law.

Seeing that his daughter and Chen Bohuan were childhood sweethearts, Luo Shusheng readily agreed.

If it were not for Luo Shusheng's love of elegance and incense, the Chen and Luo families would have lived their lives in poverty and tranquillity, as they had initially expected.

But the bad thing is that Luo Shu Sheng has accidentally mixed a "Hundred Butterfly Fragrance Powder".

The flavour of this powder is nothing special and not very different from the ordinary spices in town, but it has a benefit that ordinary spices cannot do

It has been around for a hundred days and has an endless afterglow.

The scent is long-lasting and does not dissipate easily, making it an inexpensive product that is sought after by ordinary people.

Although he had made the powder, he was reluctant to sell it, believing that it would "degrade his status".

If he doesn't sell it, someone else will naturally miss it.

Mrs. Chen repeatedly tried to talk to Luo Shusheng about the recipe and encouraged him to open a shop, but was refused by the other party.

Luo Xianxian was at the age of maturity when the opportunity came. Luo Xiansheng, a sickly child, had contracted consumption and died after a few days of struggle. As Luo Xianxian's in-laws, although her daughter was not yet married, there was always a sense of camaraderie, so they helped with the funeral arrangements and worked hard.

Luo Xianxian is grateful but unaware that Mrs. Chen has a hidden agenda and quietly takes the powder recipe when she packs up Luo's belongings.

That evening, under a bean of oil lamp and full of excitement, Mrs. Chen went over to read the recipe. The result was that after just one glance, she was dumbfounded.

Luo Shusheng's writing was so elegant and dazzling that she stared at it for half a day, but could not understand half of the words.

I had no choice but to quietly tuck the prescription back in again.

After a few months, when Luo Xianxian had calmed down, she called the girl to her home for dinner and "inadvertently" mentioned the scent of the butterfly during a casual conversation.

Luo Xianxian thought to himself that there was no point in keeping the recipe at home, since his mother-in-law had been so kind to him and she wanted it, so he could give it to her.

So she brought in her father's relics, and also helped Mrs. Chan to identify the words, and little by little, she put that precise recipe in order.

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed and, having obtained the recipe, began to work with her husband to open a perfume shop.

Of course, she was still very keen on this gentle and understanding daughter-in-law-to-be, and Luo Xianxian grew more and more beautiful, and despite her family's misfortune, she was one of a kind, and many young men in the town began to take a shine to her.

The night is long and Mrs. Chen thinks to herself that she needs to hurry this up.

However, Luo Xianxian had only just lost his father, and it was customary in Butterfly Town not to marry for three years after the death of both parents.

Mrs. Chen couldn't wait three years, so she dug in her heels and came up with a solution

On this day, Luo Xianxian was braiding the hair of the Chen family's youngest sister, who was very close to her and was always pestering her with her little tail, Sister Luo long and Sister Luo short.

Mrs Chen went into the courtyard and called Luo Xianxian into the inner hall and said to her, "Fianfen, you and Bohuan were childhood sweethearts and had been married for a long time, but now that your father has gone, you are all alone and it is not easy for you to get by. I think you should have married this year. But the three-year rule of mourning is here, so you can't get married, so I thought, "If I had waited three years, how old would you be?"

Luo Xianxian bowed her head and did not say anything, but she was smart and dexterous enough to guess what Mrs. Chen would say later, so her cheeks reddened slightly.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chan continued.

"It's hard and tiring to live alone. If people ask, you can tell them that you are following your aunt to make a living, so that they can take care of you. In this way, we can complete the rituals of the wedding ceremony without being criticized, and we can also give peace of mind to your father in heaven. When the three years are up, we will then give you both a wedding in style, okay?"

She sounded like she was thinking of Luo Xianxian, who had no bad intentions and did not think badly of anyone, so she agreed.

Later on, the Chen family made a fortune from selling the powdered butterfly, they moved out of their old house, bought a large plot of land in town, renovated the house and became a large family.

Luo Xianxian has become an infrequent presence among the many figures of the great house.

Everyone in the town thought that Luo Xianxian was only staying with the Chen family because of the kindness of Mrs. Chen, not knowing that she was married to Chen Bohuan.

Luo Xianxian was not complaining because she thought that her mother-in-law was trying to avoid people's remarks and that she was doing it for her own good. Chen Bohuan was sincere with her, and the two of them were happy and happy, waiting for the three years to pass and everything to return to normal.

But Luo Xianxian did not wait for the day of his marriage.

The Chen family's business grew bigger and bigger, and because of Chen Bohuan's good looks, not only Butterfly Town, but also the daughters of big families in the surrounding towns, started to hit on the idea of Chen's son. As time went by, Mrs. Chen's mind became more active.

When she first arranged the marriage, she was anxious to tie Luo Xianxian down because she thought that she was a peasant family and could not get a good wife.

She is not a good-looking girl, she is not smart enough, and she is as stupid as her deadbeat father.

She regretted it a little.

The appearance of Yao Qianjin has turned her "kinda" into "ten".

Yao Qianjin is the daughter of a magistrate and loves military attire. One day she was returning from a hunting trip on her steed and passed by a powder shop to choose some powders.

It was none other than Luo Xianxian's unnamed husband, Chen Bohuan.
