Chen Yihan shook his head and said, "That's because outsiders misunderstood Sister Xue, she is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside." I remember the first time I saw Sister Xue was to visit Xue's house with my grandmother, at that time I had just been sent back to the capital by my mother for only half a year, very timid and afraid of life, Sister Xue was very patient with me to play with the red rope for an afternoon, and also taught me to write......"

He Linwan handed the almonds in his hand to Chen Yihan, and said in a soft voice: "Miss Chen has a really good memory, and she still misses the old love so much." ”

The familiarity in He Linwan's tone made Chen Yihan stunned, and she subconsciously took the almonds handed over by He Linwan and ate them before reacting: "Thank you......"

He Linwan smiled.

Chen Yihan once told her that she was sent back to the capital by her mother when she was ten years old. If she remembers correctly, Chen Yihan went to Mrs. Xue's birthday banquet with her when she was twelve years old, and when she was in Xue's mansion, she said that she was coming to Xue's house for the first time, and when she saw Xue Wanqing, she also showed that it was the first time they met.

As soon as Xue Wanqing left, Chen Yihan pouted and whispered to her: "Sister Weizhen, why is Miss Xue cold? ”

Today's teahouse is not a scholar and a talented person who talks about books and politics, or an official girl like them, and the storyteller in the teahouse is not there on weekdays, but there will be bursts of music from time to time in the private room upstairs, some of the ladies are entertaining themselves, and some are invited to sing songs in the teahouse The singers are playing and singing.

There was a sudden peculiar sound of the piano in the private room next door, the music was sometimes simple and sonorous, sometimes lively and vigorous, with an exotic atmosphere, and Huo Shi and the others who were talking couldn't help but stop talking and listen.

He Ling listened for a while, and wondered: "What kind of instrument is this playing? It sounds a little like the Yueqin is listening carefully, isn't it?"

Huo Shi smiled when he heard this: "This is called Hu Busi, it is a popular musical instrument in Daji, and few people in Beijing have heard it." I don't know why someone in this teahouse would play this. ”

Yu immediately patted his ass and said, "Mrs. Chen's knowledge is extraordinary, and it is really not comparable to us." ”

Chen Yihan said with a smile: "My grandmother's maiden home is in Yongzhou, Linhuang Mansion, which is close to the north. There are occasional appearances of the Daji people. ”

Huo Shi smiled and nodded.

Yu Shi was very surprised, covered his mouth and smiled: "If Mrs. Chen didn't say it, we would still think that you are from Jiangnan." ”

Although Yu's words were suspected of turning around and slapping on the back, everyone present agreed.

The northern state capitals have always had a strong people, and most of the women here are tall and bold. Especially in the area near the northern city wall like Linhuang Mansion, even if there are few women from born families like Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen looks like a Jiangnan woman both in appearance and temperament.

He Linwan looked at Chen Yihan: "Has Miss Chen been to Linhuang Mansion?"

Chen Yihan shook his head regretfully: "Although I often hear my grandmother talk about the scenery in the north, I haven't been there. ”

He Linwan smiled: "That's really a pity." Mrs. Chen has been in the capital for many years, and the current situation in the north is not the same as the scenery of the year that Mrs. Chen told you. ”

Hearing this, the Huo family glanced at He Linwan, and said with a kind smile: "It's been twenty years since I left my hometown. I guess even if I go back to the place where I grew up, I won't recognize it, that is, the music of no return is still the same. ”

He Linwan tilted his head and said curiously: "That lady should still have a lot of relatives still in her hometown, right? Even if she can't go back, she should be able to come and go back often, which must also alleviate Madame's homesickness." ”

Yu interjected: "This is natural, Mrs. Chen's maiden family is the Huo family, I heard that the Huo family is a big family in Linhuang Mansion." ”

Mrs. Chen shook her head and sighed, "My parents and brother are no longer there, and my mother's family is now headed by my nephew." When you get older, you will inevitably see things and think about people......"

As soon as everyone heard Chen's words, they were embarrassed to ask her about Linhuang Mansion again, and He Ajiao quickly changed the topic.

He Linwan whispered apologies to Chen Yihan: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, I was just curious about the North......"

Chen Yihan smiled at He Lin and whispered, "It's okay, my brother and I also liked to listen to my grandfather, grandmother and father talk about the northern border when we were young. ”

He Linwan was puzzled: "Is Ling Zun also familiar with the northern realm?"

Chen Yihan said with a smile: "My grandfather was the prefect of Yongzhou when he was young, and later my grandfather was transferred to the capital, and my grandmother also came with him, but my father grew up in my grandmother's maiden family until he was eighteen years old before coming to Beijing. Therefore, my father had a good relationship with my grandmother's maternal cousin, and often corresponded, and when my cousin of the Huo family got married in early February this year, my father personally went to drink the wedding wine. ”

"Your father...... Have you been to Linhuang Mansion in early February?" He Linwan's eyes drooped slightly, and he played with the almonds in his hand and said softly.

Chen Yihan thought that He Linwan was really interested in the affairs of the north, and just wanted to answer. Over there, Mrs. Chen suddenly interrupted gently: "Ah Han, don't be greedy, you can't eat too many almonds, you must know that it is too much." ”

Chen Yihan immediately responded: "Got it." Grandmother. Then he no longer talked to He Lin about the northern border, but instead talked to He Ling on the side about the balm and hair oil.

Noticing a glance, He Linwan turned his head slightly and met Mrs. Chen's eyes.

Mrs. Chen's gaze has always been kind and tolerant, and this time she looked at He Linwan was no exception, but He Linwan could still feel a hint of inquiry from it, and He Linwan smiled sweetly at Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen also smiled and nodded, and then talked to He Ajiao.

I don't know how long later, the people waiting outside reported that Chen Gongzi was coming, and everyone in the house immediately stopped talking and laughing, He Ajiao glanced at Chu Rong'er, who blushed and rubbed the handkerchief in her hand.

Chen Junsheng came up to greet the elders.

When Chen Junsheng, who looked handsome and bookish, walked in, Chu Rong'er glanced at it blankly, and then bowed her head shyly.

In all fairness, Chen Junsheng is top-notch among the sons of the family in the capital, whether it is his appearance or knowledge, even if he is picky, he Ajiao At the moment of seeing Chen Junsheng, the original six points of satisfaction in her heart became nine points.

Chen Junsheng saluted the elders present one by one.

He Ajiao looked at Chen Junsheng with satisfaction and said, "Chen Gongzi is really a talent. ”

He Ajiao's gaze made Chen Junsheng, who was originally generous, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly made another move.

He Ajiao turned her head to Chu Rong'er and said, "Rong'er, hurry up and meet your Chen brother." ”

Chu Rong'er stood up shyly, her eyes didn't dare to look at Chen Junsheng's face, she turned her head slightly, and bowed to Chen Junsheng shyly.

Chen Junsheng didn't think much about it, but Chu Rong'er's attitude made him stunned, and after hurriedly returning the salute, he looked at his grandmother with a slightly inquiring gaze.

The meaning of He Ajiao and Chu Rong'er has been shown to be a little obvious, but Mrs. Chen's face remains unchanged, and she said to Chen Junsheng gently: "There are two younger sisters who have seen it." ”

He Ajiao smiled: "This generation is not right, Ah Wan and Ling'er want to call Rong'er aunt, Chen Gongzi ......"

Mrs. Chen patted her forehead and interrupted with a smile: "Look at me, I'm confused! I have a relationship with your sister-in-law, Mrs. Cheng Enbo, and I have to call Mrs. Cheng Enbo when I meet your mother." Therefore, in terms of generation, Junsheng and Yihan should call Rong'er with Ah Wan and Ling'er, and Aunt Yes. ”

He Ajiao couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

Chen Junsheng had already walked up to He Linwan and He Ling to greet him with peer etiquette. After He Ajiao reacted, the smile on her face stiffened a little.

Mrs. Chen didn't even let Chen Junsheng sit down, so she said, "Okay, go down and talk to your classmates, don't mix up the topic of our women." I'll take Yihan back to the house after a while, you don't have to worry about us, the servants and entourage are still waiting. ”

Chen Junsheng explained a few words and retreated obediently.

Mrs. Chen looked at the hourglass in the corner of the house and said with a smile: "I forgot the time when we talked happily today, I have to go back early to deal with some trivial matters in the house, and I will be absent today." ”

Chen Yihan smiled and said: "I am also very close to the two sisters of the He family, but today is really not early, so I have to get together again next time." ”

He Ajiao stiffened her face and didn't speak, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that Mrs. Chen had rejected her temptation and didn't fall in love with her Chu Rong'er.

Chu Rong'er's eyes were already red, and Yu Shi looked at them and didn't answer.

Wei Shi could only talk to the round field and said: "We have been out for a long time, and it is time to go back." ”

After a few more pleasantries, Mrs. Chen took Chen Yihan and left.

As soon as Mrs. Chen left, He Ajiao was so angry that she dropped a tea bowl: "It's just unreasonable!"

Chu Rong'er felt ashamed, and immediately covered her face and cried.

Yu persuaded: "Auntie, don't be angry, it's because they don't have vision, let's find a good one for Sister Rong'er." ”

He Ling lowered her head and finally managed to hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, but her shoulder couldn't help twitching.

He Linwan didn't have the heart to care about this farce, and there was only one thing she thought about over and over again: What was Chen Hong doing in Linhuang Mansion in February? Is the Chen family really related to the death of her grandfather and father?

He Linwan stared at the glass plate containing almonds on the table, his eyes were as dark as a deep pool, and the corners of his mouth were condensed, He Ling turned his head and accidentally glimpsed it, and for some reason a dense layer of goosebumps immediately appeared on his neck.

After returning home, He Ajiao ran to the old lady and cried: "...... When my father followed the Taizu Yellow Emperor to fight the world, the Chen family didn't know where it was, I didn't dislike their family's shallow foundation, they came to me to pick up Qiao? Isn't it just a cabinet minister? What's the big deal! At the beginning, the Fan family was more beautiful? The Yang family was more beautiful? What is it now? My mother's family is a noble family with a title, my husband's family is also a family in Huizhou, and my family's Rong'er is talented and beautiful, and he Chen Junsheng is worthy of it even if he is a Wenqu star......
